There’s the possibility of magic – after all, the Summer Maiden is still unaccounted for – but from what they can see, Zuud’s eyes are not ringed in fire like they’d expect.Ī cylindrical shell of blue hard-light shielding forms over the spider’s back and expands rapidly outward, pushing Zuud back to tumble to the ground. Next to her, Ruby and Nora are having much the same thoughts. “How in the Void is she doing that?” Eudico murmurs, staring dumbfounded from the sidelines. A shockwave passes through the spider’s body and its four giant legs slip just a little to find a new footing. She drops down to stand firmly on the Orb’s back, and slams both hands down on the hard metal. She swaps places with her own duplicate and lets the illusion take the hit. One raises a hand – no, that has to be the real Zuud – and points at the last copy hovering over top of the spider’s back. One steers its pursuer into the Orb’s own leg before another rocket locks on and obliterates it. Four take direct hits, and flicker white before vanishing. Rockets pursue them all, their tracking only momentarily confused before each chooses a single target. Zuud’s body shimmers and splits into multiple copies, each winged like the original, and they scatter in all directions around the spider.
In response, the spider’s head opens up to reveal a cluster of rocket launchers, every one aimed at the single form directly in front of them. A pair of catchmoon blasts fly into the glass, but the giant Orb seems to shrug off the impact. Translucent green butterfly wings unfurl from her back and Zuud flies upward to hover in front of Profit-Taker’s pilot compartment. Those definitely look like semblances, but they are not Rudy.Īnd now there she goes with another. Not whatever it was that let her absorb an entire cannon worth of energy and send it back in her next moon-dropping punch. Good for clearing mine debris and SDC enforcers alike, and a staple of the old Vox’s operations. A punch that throws off a ring of heat and concussive force, strong enough that an unlucky target will feel like they just tried to catch the falling moon. She’s a walking example of the theory that semblances are a reflection of one’s personality. Rudy Zuud has always been a vessel just barely containing an immeasurable anger. ← Previous Work Part 2 of the Under a Broken Moon series Next Work →Ĭrossover Favorites Stats: Published: Completed: Words: 253524 Chapters: 36/36 Comments: 721 Kudos: 129 Bookmarks: 16 Hits: 7870 Joanna Greenleaf/Robyn Hill/May Marigold/Fiona Thyme.Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings.
