3rd person pov

?: I've found you... you can't run from me anymore, Blake

The Faunas slowly started to back away, being cornered in a broken building by someone he'd purposely been running from, being the only reason he had actually gone to Beacon.

However the supposed safety in this Academy wasn't as assured as it now seemed, as the person held a sheathe in one hand, the grip of the sword being visible to the Faunas.

Blake: All of this, why did you commit all these atrocities?

?: How do think all of this was built, their empire of suffering at the hands of our people!

Blake: So it's okay to kill Faunas who live here too?

This gained him a suddenly pain in the stomach along with the sound of a gunshot, seeing that his aggressor had pulled the trigger on their sheathe, firing the handle of their sword into Blake's stomach causing him to double over.

Catching their blade they used the handle and rammed it into the back of the Faunas' head, knocking him down to the ground only to be kicked onto his back, now properly able to see his aggressor as they kneeled beside him.

?: They made their choice to go against their people

Blake: No. They just want to live a normal life

?: Normality will be what I decide! And I choose it to be where Faunas are on top, and humans bow at our feet, only a stepping stone to truer greatness

Blake: Y... You're insane

?: No, I'm right. You'll see it my way eventually, after the appropriate punishment

Hearing the shifting of rubble falling onto the ground nearby they turned their head only to see a figure leaping at them, holding a sword above their head which they slashed downwards.

The White Fang member used their sheathe to parry it which knocked them off balance in the air, falling into a tumble but they felt hurt by it for some reason, exactly where the sword would've hit if they hadn't stopped it.

?: You've come to... save him?

Y/N: I'm only here because I need catharsis. I couldn't care less about the Faunas

?: Then you'll die all the same

*A Few Minutes Ago*

Running through the progressively ruined streets of Vale Y/N did his best to stay safe, however the bombing spread fire, smoke and confusion across those in the city as the geography of the battle changed.

His scroll soon vibrated and he tensed before scurrying under a collapsed wall, taking it out causing the small hidey hole to be illuminated by a blue light. Being messaged by Blake he let out a quiet sigh and read the message, seeing a missed call from Pyrrh too.

Blake: "I need your help, please. I don't have much time."

Attached was the location of his scroll, the teen taking a moment to decide whether or not to help but eventually he climbed out and began to run towards the location, glancing down at the screen to adjust himself occasionally, sending his own message to Pyrrh to tell him what he was doing.

*Present*

Standing back up Y/N clenched the handle of his weapon tightly, keeping his gaze down to avoid looking at the mask on their assailants face, although his heart pounded loudly in his ears as anxiety rose rapidly.

Y/N: Why are you after Blake, huh?

?: My reasons aren't for you to know, scum

Y/N: You're crushing on him, got it... hate to tell you, lady, but I don't think he likes girls

Blake: Actually...

Y/N: Oh damn, you're bisexual or whatever? Wait, am I?

This trail of thought what cut off when his face was met with the end of the, now revealed to be female's, hilt which made his head rock back. Catching the hilt she drew it to her side before sheathing her sword, getting in a stance.

To try and correct himself, Y/N pressed something on the handle of sword causing light to flash from it, the weapon ripping upwards into the air before he slammed it downwards where the woman sidestepped the attack.

Helping the teen avoid a suddenly slash, Blake used the length of cloth attached to his weapon and wrapped it around Y/N's waist, pulling him back making the blade just barely miss him.

The woman gritted her teeth upon seeing Blake helping the human so she pulled her sheathe out and aimed, firing at the two which made them do their best to deflect or block the incoming shotgun pellets.

After a second the button on Y/N's handle was pressed once again, light flashing from the back of the blade as the blade soared upwards which caused the woman to block with her sword, feeling herself being lifted off her feet for a brief moment.

In that moment the teen pivoted on one foot, his face scrunching in pain thanks to it being his bad one but the light flashed once again and he swung causing the woman to skid backwards, the blade of her sword smoking just a little.

As Y/N gritted his teeth and did his best to stand up straight he saw his own sword was glowing from the heat caused by what he did, however whatever concerns that would being were cut off.

Looking to the woman he saw her sheathing her sword before the colours of the world shifted, seeing mostly red and black on her although the white of her mask stood out the most.

This made him freeze briefly, just long enough for her to seemingly appear in front of him, pulling the trigger on her shotgun sheathe all the energy he used to attack her was sent back and then some, slashing right through his weapon and impacting the teen.

He was sent flying back into the wall, crashing through as it was already pretty much on it's last legs. Blake looked over it shock only to have the tip of the woman sword pressing against his throat.

Blake: Eve... y-you don't have to do this?

Eve: You heard what he said, he could care less about the Faunas. Only using this fight as an excuse for Catharsis. He doesn't care about you, no one cares about you like I do

Blake: This isn't how you care for someone! This is how you terrorise them and make them want to never see you again!

This was met with at slash at his chest, revealing a shadow clone but turning quickly Eve threw her sword and snagged Blake against the wall, catching his clothes making him look and do his best to pull it out.

Just as he grabbed the grip he was impacted by a knee to the stomach, his hair grabbed roughly before having the back of his head slammed against the wall. Everything went hazy for a few moments, sounds becoming just ringing in his ears.

The sword was pulled out the all and subsequently stabbed forward, Blake's aura breaking which let the blade pierce his side making his eyes widen in shock, slowly looking down and reaching for it shakily.

Eve: Don't you see? No matter where you run, no matter how hard you fight, you can't leave me

Swiftly pulling it backwards Blake crumbled to the ground quickly, holding his side as he shook in pain and shock. Eve's eyes never left him, hidden behind a mask making her feel more disconnected from what she was doing.

Of course, keeping all your attention on one thing is never a good idea as she soon found out. The length of cloth on the end of Blake's weapon was quickly wrapped around her throat as the back of her knee was kicked in, bringing her down onto one knee.

Y/N: A collar like this looks good on you, freak

She used her sword and cut the cloth, freeing herself from the strangling as she did her best to stand up and slash behind her but Y/N blocked with Blake's sword before shutting his eyes tightly.

Ramming his head forward after grabbing one of her horns he headbutted her, managing to crack the mask on her face before being thrown back, the teen stumbling before falling onto his backside.

Eve: You filthy human scum!

Y/N: Nice branding... maybe I should send you back to your owner with the rest of their cattle

She reached up, feeling that the mask had fallen and revealed the SDC branding across her eye. The teen did his best to climb to his feet, his Aura having shattered already from what Eve did before.

It was clear she was pissed through, and before he could properly collect himself the Faunas rushed forward, slashing at him quickdraw style. The sword quickly came towards him, only being blocked by Blake's sword as he struggled to hold his ground.

Y/N: Sh-Should I lean more to the right, so you can see me better?

His legs were swept out from under him making him fall to the ground, rolling out the way of her sword being plunged towards him only to get up on one knee and firing at Eve who blocked each shot with her blade.

Sheathing it she was surrounded by some kind of glow only to make a light yet swift pull forward on her sword, a wave of energy hurdling towards Y/N so he did his best to jump out the way although his good leg was snagged by it making him bite his tongue to prevent a cry.

He then panted to himself, trying to get up on two bad legs but that went as well as one would expect and Eve's boot was firmly placed on his chest, forcing him down to the ground as she pointed her blade at him, using her free hand to brush her red hair from her face given she was looking down now.

Eve: A valiant effort, for a worm

A chuckle came from Y/N however that chuckle started to turn into a laugh, sounding more triumphant then it had any right to be making her stomp on his chest, knocking the wind out of him and stopping the laugh.

Eve: Are you misreading the situation or have you just gone insane? You've lost

Y/N: You... You dumb animal. Of course I couldn't win

Eve: Then why were you laughing?

Y/N: Look around us, but take a minute. Your sight doesn't look 20/20

She gritted her teeth in anger but did so, glancing around at their small battlefield but didn't notice anything of importance, not even Atlesian Knights coming in. It was just the two of them.

And that's when it hit Eve, it was only the two of them. Blake had taken the opportunity Y/N made for him and ran, the look on the Faunas' face making the laugh start up once again.

Of course this was met with fury, so instead she pulled out her sheathe and held the side of barrel near the very edge against Y/N's ear, firing which made him cry out in pain, his hands holding his ears as he writhed under her foot.

Eve: You think I can't find him again!? You only delayed the inevitable by a few minutes, and made your own death more painful!

She pulled her foot away and grabbed him by the collar, slamming the pommel of her sword into his face again and again until his head laid back, bloody, broken and bruised.

Forcing him to turn his head upwards to face her she held her blade against his throat, trying to make him look her in the eyes as she did it but his mouth seemed to be moving for a moment, appearing as if he was trying to say something.

Eve: Going to beg?

His mouth started to open, letting out weak sounds only to suddenly spit blood in her eyes making her drop the teen and try to wipe it out her eyes, having a harder time with her good one as the other was mostly numb and easy to touch.

The teen weekly reached into his pocket and pulled out his cracked scroll, turning on the GPS and doing his best to share it with as many people he could but could only get it to maybe three people as the rest of the crystal display was completely black.

Eve growled in anger, her good eye closed as she grabbed her sword, gripping it tightly but when she went to grab what she assumed to be her sheathe it suddenly slipped along the floor.

This was when she was rammed into from behind, feeling a large flat object impacting with her back before being tripped up, the Faunas managing to catch herself but she looked around in a blur, unable to properly make out what was happening.

Hearing a grunt she turned and the sound of something hitting the wall behind her echoed so she turned and was struck in the face by a disc like object which was caught by someone jumping over her.

From what she could tell she was being attacked by someone alot more skilled then the average person, given they were staying in her blind spot and were disabling her from using her semblance.

Any guess at who this might be was cut short as a barrage of random objects was sent barrelling through the air and twoards her, the Faunas doing her best to cut and slash them as they came however a few got through and cut her sides.

Eve: Show yourself, coward!

As Y/N did his best to sit up he noticed a distinct lack of hearing but noticed the occasional sound of a shield hitting against something... someone. And there was only one person on his contacts who he knew that used a shield.

?: You interrupted the tournament, attacked so many innocent people, bombed the damn city!

The person cut off his list as he blocked a swing from Eve with both their weapon and shield only to use their semblance and start to bend the metal of her blade, managing to move it enough to where he knocked get himself free.

?: And you tried to kill by boyfriend!

Eve: You care for a worm such as him?

Pyrrh: He's a better person then you ever will be!

Eve: Then he should be a better shield, no?

Hearing this Pyrrh transformed his weapon and began to fire at Eve but the bullets were stopped by her slashing then out the air before rushing over to the nearly unconscious teen, lifting him to be used as a meat shield.

This made the redhead pause as he tried to mess with the Faunas' weapon but it was instantly held against Y/N's neck, pressing in gently causing some blood to start leaking onto the already red weapon.

Eve: I'm after one person only. And if you don't back down, my kill count will start with him, then anyone else you hold dear, Pyrrh Nikos

Pyrrh: O-Okay... okay. Just let him go

Eve: When I'm done, you can have your worm back

Pulling him away from the wreckage Pyrrh watched, taking a hesitant step forward of about an inch, watching Y/N being dragged away only to clutch his weapons tightly and run out, sadly seeing no trace of the two.

He glanced around in confusion and panic, trying to look for them only to stop and a Bullhead flying upwards and away, having a White Fang symbol painted on it brazenly, like it was insulting him.

Pyrrh: You... you give him back. Give him back!

Throwing his hands forward as a black glow surrounded it the Bullhead experienced a sudden stop as the black glow surrounded it too, the rotors and engines beginning to power down.

Struggling to control something This heavy Pyrrh did his best to drag it to ground only to be fired upon from behind making him flinch and look over her his shoulder, seeing White Fang grunts shooting at him.

He released his hold on the ship and hunkered down behind his shield to defend himself hearing the ship flying further and further away causing his eyes to well up into tears, having no choice but to let them leave.

(Lemme know what you think.)
