7 headcanons: Ruby Rose rescues goddess Isha
So Ruby ends up in the garden of Nurgle just before the cage that holds Isha after winning the final battle against Salem (where she uses the sword of destruction to shatter reality on Salem).
Isha heals Ruby because after fighting the immortal witch, the first huntress and her army of Grimm Ruby was blind and bleeding out. Ruby as a thanks uses Silver Eyes to burn/freeze away Isha's cage.
So having an awakened aura makes one immune to chaos corruption and Ruby's semblance being the speed they manage to flee.
Ruby carries Isha in a princess carry, piggyback and like a sack of potatoes at the same time because warpfuckery. Meanwhile, Isha tries to come to terms that she is outside her cage for the first time in TEN THOUSANDS YEARS, so at the start, she only heals and nourishes Ruby via being the goddess of life. (she will be badass later on)
Our dynamic duo will pick up some interesting folks during their grand escape
Ruby will burn her body and light her soul at the end of the great escape to chase away either Nurgle himself or 7 of his exalted greater demons (I want it to be impressive but not insult Nurgle fans... too much).
Isha will save Ruby's soul and make her eldar body.
Can we have more headcannons of your one AU with Ruby and Isha?
Sure, so:
1. The whole au takes place over 7 years in the garden, or 7 miliseconds before Mortarion briefly kills mister Robust Govenor and Big E sets Nurgle's garden on fire.
2. Isha entering materium and Ruby being her saviour quite literaly echos across the galaxy, as in roses became a great way to stay off the plague, some Eldar who are actually good people being freed from Slaneash (we will talk about it later), Harlequins sliping during their performances, the harmful mutations going down significantly, Ynnead becoming more active/aware/born, the shards of the shards of Eldar Pantheon becoming recoverable, Big E nose no longer iching, etc.
also they exit on the battlefield that Guliman and Mortarion were dueling... With an crusade worth of people including...
3. Leman Russ, who is also first L in RILL(lilly) who also was stuck fight on the doorstep of Nurgles mansion, not captured but also not being able to move forward. He also can turn into giant wolf deamon form, kinda like Corvus. He basicly carries the team when Ruby is spent.
4. Our divine and semi divine trio picks up the [REDACTED] before the full team frees basicly every single person that was stucked in Nurgle's garden i.e. a 2 craftworlds worth of eldar who wanted to free mom, the space wolves who followed Leman, a lot of unfortunate people who got droped there during the warpstorms including the regiment from the Rebelion of the Men of Iron and Zwei.
5. I decided to make Isha fight Nurgle during the final battle at the gates of the garden, because while Ruby is busy melting said gate with her silver eyes, Leman and [REDACTED] are busy fighting off 6 of Nurgles Exalted Greater Deamons and comabined force of man and eldar are desprertly to slow down 66% OF ALL NURGLE DEAMONS, Isha is showing that she is the Veteran of the War in Heaven and firstborn daughter of Khaine. Imagine said fight as pro Souls-like player fighting the final boss, naked, with first level character. All of that buys Ruby enough time to break the gate and free everyone
6. AND THEN SLANNEASH apears and tries to eat exhausted Isha to which Ruby responded by setting her whole being body and soul on fire and light up like a silver astronomican for a briefest of moments causing She who thirst to hasitate, thus making sure that Isha will have time to flee. Isha decided to not abandon Ruby and decided to risk her whole existence to save her daughter saviour and Slanneash looked her in the eyes and flinched (and with that lost her claim on those eldar who were similar to Ruby i.e. exodites, craftworlders who weren't dicks).
7. Isha healed Ruby via adopting her, as in Ruby becomes the same being that OG Eldaneash and Ulthanesh were (in this au, semi divine twins of Isha and Kuranos). So basicly Eldari primarch except love by their divine parent and geared for the WiH and not Great Crusade. Ruby is not a full fleadged diety (yet), but she is an ironicly asocieted with mental health to Isha's physical health. Among other things.
