Talk:Ruby Rose/@comment-192.30.97.52-20160427133901

(After Roman's arrest in Volume 2, aboard an Atlesian airship)

Ruby and Penny walk aboard the bridge. Penny insisted that Ruby meet her "brother." Or at least, some she thought of as a brother.

Penny: Brother, I've brought my friend.

Ruby saw a very tall man wearing a cape. He had short brown hair, and his golden eyes looked bloodshot. But what scared her was his body. His arms were completely artificial, with broad shoulders and six fingers on each hand. His legs were also mechanical below his thighs, with clawed feet. His chest had a breastplate-like covering built into it, which was likely his ribcage. A carved skull mask hung from his waist.

This was Atlas' young cyborg commander, General Opal Tetsu Gilgamesh.

Gen. Gilgamesh: Ah, yes. Ruby Rose. Penny has told me a lot about you. I must admit I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little...

Ruby: Older? Taller? Sexier? All of the above?

Gen. Gilgamesh: (Laughs, then coughs) You're a funny little girl. I like that.

Ruby: Are you okay? You sound sick.

Gen. Gilgamesh: I'm fine. But more importantly, I have something I want to show you. Come with me.

The General takes Ruby to his chambers. The walls are decorated with all manner of weapons. Ruby felt like a kid in a candy store.

Gen. Gilgamesh: These are trophies that I've taken from the criminals I've captured. Thanks to you, I've added Melodic Cudgel to my collection.(Takes a weapon that looks like Darth Maul's saberstaff) I want you to have this as a token of my respect.

Ruby: But... Why me?

Gen. Gilgamesh: (Kneels down and looks in Ruby's eyes) I look into your eyes, Ruby, and I see someone who wants a life greater than that of an ordinary Huntress. A life of significance, of conscience, of knowing that your deeds are truly being appreciated. (Gives the weapon to her) This is my way of saying that I appreciate what you've done for this kingdom.
