Part 39: Torchwick's End/New Powers

Were gunna get a shit ton over the next 2 chapters. Be ready.

Y/n's POV

We landed on the ship as Griffons and other types of Grimm flew past the ship. I looked at Ruby.

Y/n: You okay?

Ruby: Yeah-

A griffon lands on the opposite sides of us. They screeched loudly. I looked at Ruby and she nodded with a smile. I pulled out my scythe and I was switching angles for the Griffon to never see me as a stationary target.

I cut off its legs with a spinning maneuver and made a giant curve in the Grimm's underside. I shot a few bullets and I hit its eyes. Causing it to screech.

Y/n: I did you a favor so you'd never had to see your ugly ass self again.

I jumped on top of the grim and dealt the finishing blow onto the Grimm. Causing it to disintegrate.

I looked to see a giant Wyvern. I looked in shock. It was so fast. So huge. That thing was a beast.

Y/n: Imagine if Weiss killed that thing and she could summon one. Nobody would mess with her.

I looked back at Ruby and gasped at the sight I was seeing.

Meanwhile...

the Wyvern flies past the hijacked atlesian Airship, as Rose looks on, with the surrounding Griffons roaming the skies. A Griffon lands on the airship, but Ruby easily cuts it down with Crescent Rose, causing it to disintegrate into black particles.

But suddenly, she hears a snap, turning to see Neopolitan, now changing into her standard attire with a wave of light washing over her from bottom to top, as she winks after taking a picture of Ruby, sending it to a certain crime lord with the following text:

"Guess Who?"

Roman: Oh, you can not be serious!

Having realized his old foe is interfering yet again, the wanted criminal quickly picks up Melodic Cudgel and walks up to the top of the airship.

Y/n's POV


I walked towards Neo who also gasped seeing me. I looked disheartened as my scythe dragged on the floor. Neo looked kind of worried and a bit of guilt on her face.

Y/n: Neo...

Neo: ...

Ruby looked between the two slightly worried but also with a slight Intrigue. She knew Y/n didn't like talking about her relationship with Neo but seeing them converse made her listen.

Y/n: (Confused) You're... Helping with this invasion...

Neo looked down with guilt and sadness. But not out of showing remorse for the invasion but for what Y/n thought of her. She had slightly though about her history with Y/n as He interrupted. I then looked down slightly and sighed.

Y/n: You...

She looked up to see one singular tear run down my face. I gripped my weapon.

Y/n: (Looks up) You know what this means right?

She reluctantly got out her umbrella and nodded as Ruby came next to me and put one hand on my shoulder. Neo looked slightly confused. She didn't know that Me and Ruby were dating.

But Ruby started the battle as she performs a low swing, with Neo somersaulting over it, and ducking the next swing, before performing another backflip to dodge the third. Ruby then twirls Crescent Rose before attempting another low sweep, only for Neo to back-flip away from her consecutive twirls.

I then interrupt and shot a few bullets and she blocked with her umbrella. I ran forward with a front flip and slashed forward. The stepped back and went for Ruby. She didn't want to fight me I could tell.

I looked at my scroll.

Y/n 37% Aura

I had taken a huge toll on my aura from Mercury's fight. Meaning I had to be careful.

She charged towards Ruby. But she lodges Crescent Rose on the hull and fires a shot, only for Neo to shatter in an illusion, revealing Roman as he fires a shot back with Melodic Cudgel, sending Ruby flying several feet, before she lodges Crescent Rose to safely grip herself from the surrounding gales, while Roman walks up to her.

I ran towards him but get knocked to the side when Neo had kicked me away. I fell to the ground. And looked at Neo she still had that look of reluctance on her face.

Y/n: Neo! Get out of the way!

Roman: Y/n, you and your girlfriend are just determined to be the hero of Vale, aren'tcha?

Neo was quite surprised by this.

Ruby: What are you doing!? Without these ships, the Grimm will destroy everything!

Roman: That's the plan!

Ruby then swats aside Melodic Cudgel just as he attempts to fire it at her, causing him to move a few feet off-balance, before Neo returns and leaps over her, kicking Ruby's left cheek, and using the momentum to flip her over and send Ruby tumbling on her back. Neo then follows up with a roundhouse to the face, and a rear horse kick to nearly send her careening off the hull of the airship.

Ruby: But why!? What do you get out of it!?

Roman: You're asking the wrong questions, Red! It's not what I have to gain, it's that I can't afford to lose!

Y/n: Just shut up fight me! (Charging at him)

I had increased strength. With this I charged at Roman and sent cuts down over his body as I had overpowered him with my strength. He was stumbling back. I could tell his aura was quite low.

Ruby: GAH!

I looked to see Ruby holding on for dear life, with the embedded blade of Crescent Rose the only thing preventing her from falling off of the bridge with Neo watching over her. My eyes widened. Roman saw my attention turned to Ruby. Pulled out his weapon and sent a shot towards me hitting me flush.

Ruby and Neo looked on in shock. My aura cracked which made Roman smile. He would finally get a chance to kill him.

Ruby: (Horrified) Y/n!

Roman: I'm sorry Y/n but I think its time for me to get revenge.

Y/n: ...

Roman started walking towards me. I Was holding the impact point from the hit in pain. He started to think back to the days when he was a kid.

Roman: You came to my parents farm and ruined EVERYTHING!

He smacked me with his cane in the head making me wince in pain.

Ruby: NO STOP!

Neo then Breaks out of her trance and extends Hush's hidden blade and drags it on the surface, as she holds Ruby at sword-point.

Roman: You took all of the love that MY Parents gave to ME. And gave it to yourself! (Hits me even harder) Your selfish! (Hits me again)

I had bruises all over me. I couldn't do anything. Normally I'd fight back but these feelings and these flashbacks I was experiencing. I was frozen. Neo had looked at me and had a tear in her eye.

Roman: I don't even know how you survived in the cold after you left but after you left but you made my farm a living hell! (Kicks me)

Ruby: No...

Ruby looked at a way of her trying to get on to help me. She looked to see a button on Neos umbrella.

Roman: You Made my parents work to the bone just so we could keep a roof over our heads!

Suddenly, Ruby reaches for the parasol, causing it to open and send Neo flying off the airship, leaving her with a frightened gasp as she is silently left at the mercy of the Grimm roaming the skies and the raging winds.

Roman: NEO!

Ruby: (Angered) I'm going to make you regret what you just did.

As Ruby charges at top speed with the use of her Semblance, Roman grips Melodic Cudgel with both hands, the left hand holding the shaft, as he quickly catches the projectile with the hook end and hurls it at Ruby, knocking her away, before smacking her with the business end of the cane, ramming the weapon in her stomach, and firing another shot, sending her on her back once more.

Roman: You got spirit, Red. But this is the real world!

Roman then whacks Ruby with the butt of his cane, sending her back a few feet.

Roman: The real world is cold!

Roman lands another hit, this time on Ruby's legs.

Roman: The real world doesn't care about spirit!

Ruby then kicks him in the knee, causing him to lose balance as he prepares a downward strike.

Roman: You wanna be a hero!? Then play the part and die like every other Huntsman in history!

He then proceeds to smack Ruby with the butt end of the cane.

Roman: As for me, I'll do what I do best: lie, steal, cheat, and SURVIVE-BANG!

He looked back to see Me Standing with bruises on his face and him with Black eyes and glowing Crimson red pupils. I Didn't say a single word. I just stared at him enraged. My instincts that I hadn't heard in many years had come. It was something that was a complete opposite side to what I normally was. But at the same time it was me saying these things. I had only done this a few times and when I can't help but feel so... Resentful...

"Unleash Carnage on him"

"Let your Brothers take over"

"LET. US. FEAST."

Y/n: Fine.

I Looked at Roman and smiled. Multiple Alphas had spawned next to Roman. He looked Terrified. Ruby had taken this chance to run away. She was so confused. She had no idea what was going on. She was scared of what Y/n was doing. She never knew he could... spawn Grimm...?

Roman: Wh... (Petrified) What..?

Roman couldn't believe what he was seeing. I clenched my fist and The Alphas had began their massacre. They would slash at Roman from all angles and they would instantly break his aura especially because of the fact that he was running low earlier.

Ruby: He's... He's going to die...

They then pounced on him ripping him into pieces while he was screaming in pain and trying to fight back. Although I felt so much hatred I still couldn't bear to see the sight. I looked away and let the Grimm finish him off. After about 30 seconds I didn't hear anything. I looked back to see them looking at Ruby and slowly approaching them.

Ruby: Y-Y/n! Help!

Ruby crawled backwards. I held out my hand and tried to fight back against my instincts. It felt wrong. It was like I was going against myself. The grimm froze. Struggling to move.

"What are you doing!? She's a silver eyed warrior! They are OUR ENEMIES."

"They brought our bloodline to extinction, and you want to SAVE THEM!?"

Y/n: (Struggling) R-Ruby...

She ran towards me to see one of my eyes with a black colour. And the other was normal. She looked at me.

Ruby: Y/n!? What's happening? Snap out of it!

"Let us take care of her."

"Let us kill her."

"Follow your instincts."

Y/n: No...

I started to get a huge headache. My head was spinning as I was going in and out of consciousness. I fell onto the ground. With my hands on my head.

Ruby: Y/n!? What's happening?! Are you okay!? What's going on?!

She had noticed my eyes were turning back to normal. The Grimm had dissipated. A huge griffon has come on the Ship. I looked to see where Roman was but nothing was there. I still had a sharp pain in my head but it subsided slowly.

Y/n: (Smiling) Its finally over...

All that remained was Just blood. I hope Neo was okay though... I'm not sure how shed react to... this..

The griffon screeched. It had come towards us
The roar sends Ruby back a few feet, before the two charge at each other. Ruby prevails when she kicks the beast in the head, sending it through the hull and causing it to crash. She rushed to me and Iooked up smiling.

Y/n: (Weakened) Good job.

Ruby: Thanks but... you've got alot of explaining to do Y/n...

Y/n: (Looks down) Yeah-

The airship had exploded a hole at the top and it was seeking out more exit points. Me and Ruby looked at each other. I grabbed my weapons and Ruby had put her hand around my back and ran.

Ruby: C'mon slowcoach!

Y/n: Hey, Who you calling slow? (Cough)

She then puts me on her back and she ran. I was surprised at this sudden action.

Y/n: W-Woah! Ruby? What are you doing?

Ruby: I'm saving you, dummy.

And then, she grabs Crescent Rose, leaps off the falling airship, and propels herself in the air, shooting at the ground as if her weapon was a pogo-stick, I was holding Ruby as tightly that if I I anymore force her chest would cave in.

Ruby: (Sarcastically) Is the Badass of Beacon scared of heights?

Y/n: (Slight blush) Sh-Shut up!

Ruby: Oh, your blushing too? I never see you blush.

Y/n: (Going slightly redder) ...

We landed safely on the rooftops of Vale. I got off and laid on the ground and close my eyes for 10 seconds. I opened them to see Ruby with her arms crossed.

Ruby: Gunna tell me what happened back there?

Y/n: I'll.. I'll tell you later okay? I promise. Right now we need to find everyone.

Ruby: ..Okay.

Back in the city, Glynda Goodwitch uses The Disciplinarian to knock back a few Creeps, while Qrow Branwen slices and blasts at a few infected Knights with Harbinger. Nearby, Cardin Winchester giddily knocks back an Ursa with his mace, but then gets held at gunpoint by a few infected Knights. Suddenly, their heads are shot off, surprising Cardin. As the smoke clears, it is revealed that General Ironwood miraculously survived his crash, his damaged uniform exposing the right half of his body to be cybernetic. Without hesitation, he shoots down all of the infected Knights with Due Process. Flipping it into his right hand to club the last one as it leaps at him.

Ironwood: This area's secure! We need to-

Suddenly, Qrow's expression changes into what appears to be anger. He transforms his sword into a scythe and charges toward Ironwood.

Ironwood: Qrow! This isn't my doing!

Qrow continues charging, despite Ironwood's words. The general flips his gun in his hand and gets into a battle stance, preparing for the perceived attack. However, Qrow leaps past Ironwood, who turns around just in time to see a large Griffon lunging at him. With one swing of Qrow's scythe, the Griffon is sliced in two. Upon landing, Qrow turns around to address Ironwood.

Qrow: (Scoffs) You idiot. I know you didn't do this.

Ironwood relaxes and sighs, lowering his head and putting his hand to his forehead, while Glynda places her hand on his shoulder.

Qrow: Any sign of Y/n?

Ironwood: I told him he needed to come with me for his safety and he said no.

Glynda: You let him get away!?

Ironwood: He threatened me. Not that I couldn't make him but I had more important matter at hand than fighting him.

Qrow: I mean, I didn't see that going any other way. L/n's are known to be Determined to accomplish their goals. Sometimes even over determined. And I'm not sure sitting in an airship would be in line with whatever he had in mind.

Glynda: I just hope he hasnt been kidnapped.

Qrow: Hes strong. I'm sure hes fine. But we still need to find him. Just in case.

Ironwood: I'll get some of my men to look for him.

Qrow: ...So.... what now, General?

Ironwood: Going off the topic of Y/n. Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines. And that enormous Grimm seems to be fixated on the school. Glynda, form up the local Huntsmen and establish a safe zone here in Vale. We need to evacuate Beacon. Qrow, I'm leaving that to you and my men. I still need to get to my ship.

The three hear a loud noise and turn to see its source: Ironwood's ship slowly nosediving into the ground.

Qrow: Well, it won't be much of a walk.

The Atlesian Knights that are still functioning attempt one last time to harm the Huntsmen, before powering down.

In the Beacon courtyard, the students stand prepared to fight the Atlesian Paladin that is charging toward them. However, electricity arcs across it and it suddenly powers down, collapsing and sliding to a stop in front of them.

Sun: Hm. That went better than expected.

Weiss doubles over, exhausted, leaning on Myrtenaster to keep herself standing.

Yang: Weiss! (She runs to Weiss) You're okay! Have you heard from Ruby or Y/n?

Weiss shakes her head.

Yang: What about Blake?

Weiss: She went after an Alpha... (She points in the direction that Blake ran) and some members of the White Fang.

Yang: You look for Ruby and Y/n. I'll meet up with Blake.

Yang hurries off in the direction that Weiss pointed, while the heiress gives a thumbs up.

In the Beacon vault, an elevator opens up to reveal Ozpin, Jaune, and Pyrrha. The three immediately sprint out of the elevator and down the corridor.

Jaune: What is this place?

Pyrrha: It's... a type of vault.

Jaune: You've... been here before?

Pyrrha looks away from him.

Jaune: What would this school need to... hide?

Finally seeing the Aura transfer machine, Jaune stops in his tracks, gazing wide-eyed at the strange contraption and the comatose girl inside.

Jaune: What? Who?

Pyrrha: Jaune...

Ozpin: Pyrrha! Get to the pods!

Pyrrha looks at Jaune, then runs to the second pod.

Ozpin: Mister Arc, if you'd like to help, you can stand guard here.

Jaune looks at the two with uncertainty, then turns around and gets into a guarding stance.

Pyrrha: What do we do now?

Ozpin: (Typing on the machine's hologram keyboard) We, do nothing.

The second pod opens, and Ozpin turns his head to look at Pyrrha.

Ozpin: You, Miss Nikos... have a choice to make.

Pyrrha looks at the pod, then at Jaune, hesitating. Her expression changes from uncertainty to sadness, and she wipes a tear from her eye, still looking at Jaune. She then climbs into the pod, which closes.

Ozpin: Thank you, Miss Nikos.

Ozpin presses a few more buttons on the screen, and Amber's pod raises up. Amber begins glowing orange, and her eyelids begin fluttering. The orange glow travels along the pipes connecting the two pods - first up to the ceiling, then down to Pyrrha's pod. An orange glow surrounds Pyrrha, who begins screaming out in agony.

Jaune: (Turns around, surprised) Pyrrha!

Jaune runs over to Pyrrha's pod, moving his gaze back and forth between Pyrrha and Amber's pod. While Jaune panics, trying to understand what's going on, Ozpin looks away.

Ozpin: I'm... so sorry.

Suddenly, an arrow pierces the glass of Amber's pod, striking her in the chest. Amber gasps, and her eyes open, then begin to close again, while the machine begins beeping an alarm. Ozpin and Jaune turn around to see Cinder Fall standing halfway down the corridor from them, an obsidian bow in her hand. She lowers the bow, a tiny smirk creeping across her face.

Amber struggles to breathe, her eyes wide, the machine's alarm still playing. Finally, all breath leaves her. Her eyes drift closed, and her head leans to the side, her whole body going limp. The green flames that light the torches throughout the vault suddenly snuff out.

Yang flies through the air, beginning to lose consciousness, with glowing yellow Aura splattering out from her wound. She lands on the floor and lays there on her side, completely still.

Pyrrha frantically beats her fists against the glass of her pod. The orange glow leaves Pyrrha and travels back through the pipes into Amber. The glow then bursts out of Amber, shattering the glass in its way, and enters Cinder. The murderer glows, begins floating, and gains long trails of flame around her eyes, with orange energy swirling around her. Pyrrha beats even harder on the glass, her stress increasing. Jaune raises his sword and charges toward Cinder.

Ozpin: Stay back!

Cinder summons a large fireball casting it toward Jaune, who blocks it with his shield and is blasted backwards, landing on his back.

Pyrrha: JAUNE!

Finally, Pyrrha uses her Semblance to rip the pod's door off its hinges, throwing it at Cinder, who knocks it away like it's nothing. As Cinder begins to descend to the floor, Pyrrha leaps out of the pod and charges, calling her weapon and shield to her with her Semblance. However, Ozpin puts his arm out, stopping her.

Ozpin: Take Jaune and get out of here! Find Glynda! Ironwood! Qrow! Bring them here right away! The tower cannot fall!

Pyrrha: But I can help.

Ozpin: (He slowly turns his head to stare Pyrrha in the eyes) You'll only get in the way.

Pyrrha hesitates for a moment but obeys Ozpin, scooping up Jaune and running away. While she does so, Cinder descends to the floor and watches them leave, with the glow, the swirling energy, and the flames around her eyes all disappearing. Cinder turns her attention back to Ozpin, her eyes still glowing for a moment.

An explanation on what happened with Y/n will be explained. Don't freak out. its actually smart. That's why i released this and the next chapter at the same time lol.

If you smile at this clip then you have to vote.
