Chapter 1: Marylin Rose
Time: O1200
Location: Deep Space
It wasn't easy but somehow Blue Team and Fire-Team Osiris where able to stop Cortana from using the Guardians. Both teams where tired and exhausted and heading back to Infinity. Each team had their own Pelican. Blue Team where in theirs resting a little after what Cortana put them through. God they all wanted to go into cryo-sleep and sleep for a thousand years.
Marylin Rose POV
My team, myself, and Fire-Team Osiris managed to stop Cortana only barely though. My body feels like jelly and I mental state is killing me. Honestly, I feel like we all got sent to hell. I mean we had Prometheans coming out of the woodwork, new kinds of weaponry trying to kill us left and right, and oh, so much more collateral damage. I lost track after broke something for the 50th time. I have never been so glad to be resting in a Pelican. Everything that happened was taking a toll on me. I took of my helmet and let my mind drift off. Then as my mind gets closer to sleep I hear something.
"Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest…" That's when an image appears in my head. It was a girl in white with sliver eyes like mine and crimson hair like mine too. Wait I know that girl. She's my sister! Summer. God, I missed her. I honestly don't remember what happened because one moment I was on a mission for Ozpin then the next thing I knew I was training to be a Spartan. Summer looks at me and starts to cry. That's when I see a large Grimm behind her. It goes to swing its claws. No, not her!
Summer: Marylin, please come home. Marylin? Marylin!
Marylin: Summer!
My eyes open wide and look around. Summer…my sister, I'm sorry. That was from my semblance. My semblance lets me do two things, I get dreams of past and future but also it lets control and create storms like one of the Four Maidens. And it's how I got my little nickname Storm Rose. I turn my head over to someone calling me to find that's its John and Fred.
John: Are you okay Marylin?
Marylin: I'm okay, just tired. And could really use a nice warm bed ya know?
Fred: *snorts* Then what about you shouting for "Summer"? And that face you made as you shouted that… you are not okay.
Marylin: Guys don't worry about it. I'm okay. I just need rest. *goes to close her eyes but stops when she sees something*
After saying that Kelly and Linda walk over on que. Monty, I love and hate them at the same time. But one thing that is missing… is Summer. She would have loved them and they her.
Kelly: Don't live to us Marylin. We're family. And is something is bothering you then tell us.
Linda: Yeah, so what's on your mind?
They're right. And besides my behavior is a lot like Raven's. Raven Branwen, my brother-in-law Tai's first wife and mother to Yang, my niece. She was a complicated woman and had her faults, but it was with those faults and complications tore their team apart. I always felt bad for Tai and Yang. Raven just walked out on them and never looked back. Then Ruby came a long and everything was okay again. But that's where things stop for me. When Ruby was about maybe 4 or 5 I went on a mission for Ozpin. And that's how I wound up here. I pull out the photo of me and Summer before everything happened.
Marylin: *deep breath* This is my sister, Summer. Even after everything I've been through I still had that picture with me. So, I could remember her, and it gives me hope that I'll see her again someday.
Kelly: I guess Sliver eyes run in the family?
Marylin: Wish I could answer that. But I don't remember our parents.
John: You two could have passed for twins.
Marylin: Yeah, we could of. *sigh*
John: We'll help you see her again.
Marylin: W-What?
Linda: *light laugh* We're going to help you, remember what Kelly said, we're family no matter what. And besides I want to meet this sister of yours.
Marylin: I don't know what to say… Thank you my brothers and sisters.
Before they could say "your welcome" the Pelican began shaking like your stomach does when you need to vomit. In fact, the shaking was making me a little ill.
Fred: What's going on!?
Marylin: Sure, as hell ain't slip-space!
Locke: *over the coms* Blue Team, brace yourselves we're getting pulled in by a gravity planet!
Buck: *over the coms* Ya-Hooo! We're going to hell, again!
For some reason that reminded me of Qrow Branwen. Raven's twin brother and alcoholic. He could have something like that. Of course, he would be drunk saying that. Monty, that man 20 seconds without drinking out of his flask.
Vale: *over the coms* We're already in hell, Buck! What do you mean by again!?
John: Blue Team, brace yourselves! Kelly pilot the pelican and try to slow us down.
Immediately after ordering Kelly to drive I grabbed my weapons and get an iron grip on the metal pole above my head and activate my mag boots. The ship wasn't slowing down, and you can know that especially when Kelly said,
Kelly: EVERYONE BRACE FOR IMPACT! THIS GOING TO HURT!
Tanaka: *over the coms* SAME HERE!
Time: O200
Location: Unknown
Images of Summer dying appear in my head and I gasp then groan from my body feeling all the pins and needles that sting. My sight is blurry but adjusts to the rays of light coming in from the holes in the Pelican. I look around finding the rest of my team and Fire-Team Osiris passed out on the floor. John is the first to move.
John: You okay Marylin?
Marylin: Never been better Chief!
Fred: You're the only one Marylin.
Marylin: What the hell was that?
Kelly: It looked like a Halo Ring. I have no idea where it sent us.
Buck: Well ****!
Marylin: Took the words right out my mouth Buck. *laughs*
Buck: Well at least you can manage a laugh.
I walk outside the Pelican and I am greeted with a familiar view. I know where we are. Remnant… That means at long last I'm home! I walk over to the cliff looking down to see a familiar temple. I look at the sky and an actually smile at a Nevermore that flies by. Monty, thank you! I remove my helmet and take a long deep breath.
Marylin: *whispers very softly* Thank Monty, I owe one.
John: Marylin!?
I turn back seeing my team and Osiris rush out looking for me. I smile then turn my head back to the view. This place is so peaceful, but I know under that treetop the forest is crawling with Grimm.
Fred: You seem happy.
Marylin: *doesn't look at them* Of course I am. This place, I've been here before.
They all join me looking out at the horizon. The sun was rising slowly. It felt good to be home. Now to get back to Patch and see Summer, Tai, Qrow, Ruby, and Yang again. I wonder how much time has passed.
John: You have?
Marylin: *smiles happily with watery eyes* I'm home. Chief, Blue Team, Fire-Team Osiris… Welcome to Remnant, my home.
