Yang awoke with a start, her eyes wide with confusion as she surveyed the devastation around her. Vale lay in ruins, its once-bustling streets now mere echoes of their former glory. The sun struggled to pierce through the thick, choking mist that clung to the shattered buildings, casting eerie shadows across the debris. Towering above it all, Yang tried to comprehend her new reality, her once-familiar body now a monstrous size that dwarfed the remnants of the city she once called home.
In her mind, Yang could still hear the echoes of laughter and life that used to fill these streets. Now, only silence greeted her, broken occasionally by her own heavy footsteps that sent tremors through the ground. She stumbled upon a cracked mirror, large enough for her to see the anguish etched across her face. "What have I become?" Yang whispered to herself, her voice a low rumble that reverberated through the empty streets.
Meanwhile, Ruby ran through the forest that bordered the city, her heart heavy with worry. The sun filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground as she made her way toward the ruins. She had to find Yang, to understand what had happened, and to help her friend before it was too late. "Hang on, Yang. I'm coming," she murmured, determination lacing her words.
Ruby finally reached the edge of the city, her eyes widening as she took in the sight of her sister. Towering over the destruction, Yang looked both powerful and fragile, a giantess lost in a world that no longer fit her. Ruby hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Yang! It's me, Ruby. We can fix this together."
Yang turned slowly, her eyes meeting Ruby's, filled with a mixture of hope and despair. "Ruby... I don't want to hurt anyone," she said, her voice trembling. Ruby stepped closer, reaching out her hand. "You're not a monster, Yang. We'll find a way, I promise." The sincerity in Ruby's voice was a balm to Yang's troubled soul, yet doubt lingered.
As night fell and stars began to twinkle in the darkening sky, Yang knew what she had to do. She looked down at Ruby, her sister's unwavering belief in her lighting a path through the darkness. "Let's fix this, together," Yang said, her voice steady and strong. With renewed resolve, the two sisters stood side by side, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
