Chapter 18: The Battle for Beacon

Pyrrha POV

Crimson took me by the hand and I was about to do as he said but flying Grimm started arriving at. They started coming by the dozens. I was shocked, we all were. But then we saw it, the clone army opened fire at them. But not even that was able to stop them.

Sun: oh my god!!! What are we gonna do you guys?!!!

Ironwood appeared out of nowhere with a Beowolf by the leg. He then took five shots to the beast and it died.

Ironwood: I'll make sure Atlas take care of them, Barren try escorting them out
Crimson: I don't believe that will be posible General
Ironwood: it's an order!!!
Crimson: I'm afraid I'll have to ignore you then

Crimson then took his helmet off and his eyes were glowing red, not his usual yellow and red Sith eyes.

Crimson: I'll see you guys later
Pyrrha: what are you gonna do?
Crimson: what I have always done best

He then gave me a hug and kissed me in the head.

Crimson: Jaune...take care of her

He then ran and with one jump all the Grimm followed him.

Pyrrha: DON'T DIE!!!

Then he created lightning and all the Grimm were dead in seconds. All of them followed him to their death.

Jaune: he's crazy
???: but he's our crazy

We then all looked to see Willow walking towards us with lightsaber at hand.

Pyrrha: how's it been?
Willow: good, and you?
Pyrrha: great...so, what's the plan
Alex: we need to first help every civilian scape to safety and then we can talk reclaiming Beacon
Ren: what do you mean by that?
Willow: not only the Grimm but the White Fang are here
Blake: no
Alex : I'm afraid their are
Yang: don't worry Blake, we'll take them out

Crimson POV

I was falling to the ground and quick. I had to do something. But what? I didn't though that one through. But then I felt something pick me up. It was a giant Nevermore

Barren: what the fuck?

I then looked at it carefully and I saw Pyrrha's pet in its shoulder.

Barren: so your the mother

Then the Nevermore flew me over to Beacon and it left me alone in the ground.

Barren: that was new

I started running towards the courtyard and I saw Students and White Fang members fighting. I knew it was my time to shine.

3rd person POV

???: dude we need help!!!
???: I'm sorry bro but I don't think help will get on time
???: so this how we die?
???: most likely

Then out of nowhere lightning came shooting out and killed a few of the bad guys. Burning them to a crisp. The students looked happy but the others look scared.

Wfm: WHO ARE YOU?
Barren: your worst nightmare

Barren then ran at the WF members and cut them down like they were nothing. One tried swinging his sword but Barren cut right through it. Everyone were amazed by his brutality in the battle field. Out of nowhere backup came and they were surrounded by dozens of WF members. Barren used the Force to brake most of their rib cages and the remaining soldiers were pulled towards him and he cut them down with a precise swing of the sword.

???: thank sir
Barren: run
???: sure

Barrens eyes then started glowing even brighter. He's hatred started to manifest in his sword. The energy started to get out of control and it was hitting and critical point.

Barren started running towards everyone he saw. Atlas or WF. If it wasn't a clone or civilian then he would trike them down. He on purpose was letting his dark side energy grow. He was storing it like Star Killer did with his lightning. The darkness was radiating from him to the point it was physically visible to the normal eye.

Grimm and WF members kept on arriving. They had a lot of fire power but were eventually stop by the clone army. Everything was going great until Barren saw some Atlas ship being hijack. Barren quickly rise his hand but then stoped. He was about to bring down the ship but that meant wasting a lot of energy. Something he didn't want to waste. Instead he left that to the Atlas military force.

Some of the Clones ran to aid their leader. It was Barrens Clones Commando. They all came to a stop when they were in front of him.

Jack: sir we are taking Beacon back...slowly but surely, but we have lost a lot of men in the battle field
Barren: clones?
Fabian: no sir, humans
Barren: why should I care
Andrew: forget it sir...we can take care of the problem at hand
Barren: don't die...that's an order
Clones: YES SIR!!!

The Clones then dispersed through out the school and took control of small clone corps. Barren walked around the field seeing casualties all over the place. Some clones were injured but not dead and some humans were injured but they were dying. Strangely the Grimm were not being attract to him now. Then out of nowhere he heard a a massive Roar. He took a second to look and he saw a giant dragon. Everyone were scared. But Barren knew what that was. He already saw the future. He knew what he needed to do. Without wasting time he ran towards Beacon Tower. And once there he saw the top of it getting destroyed. That's when he ran into where the elevator once were. He used the remains to propel himself into the top using the force. When he got to the top he saw Pyrrha kneeling and Cinder about to fire an arrow towards his sister. But before she could fire he intervened in the matter.

Barren: hello Ladies

They were both surprised by him. He used the opportunity to run at Cinder and activate his lightsaber.

Pyrrha: NO!!!!!!

Pyrrha shouted from the top of her lungs. Like if she knew something bad would happen.

Cinder saw this and as soon she saw Barren about to strike her she used her sword to attack. But as soon the blades were about to touch, Cinder's sword broke apart letting Barren's go through but then it reformed. They both stroke each other with Cinder getting a flesh wound near her face but Barren getting cut along the chest and stomach. A line of blood could be seen across the floor.

???: NO!!!!

Everyone looked to their surprise to see Ruby on top of the building. She fell to her knees and Cinder took this opportunity to ram her sword into Barren's chest.

Pyrrha: BROTHER !!!
Ruby: BARREN!!!!

And with out a warning Ruby created a blinding light making everyone go unconscious.

Time skip 10 minuets

Cinder POV

I was waking up to someone picking me up. It was blurry but then my sight started to adjust. It was him, his Crimson color hair and those green eyes I came to hate.

Cinder: h-how are you still alive?
Barren: t-that's not y-your problem

I then smirked and I looked at him straight in the eye.

Cinder: we already won

He at first looked confused but then he smirked at me.

Cinder : why are you smiling? You lost...your dying
Barren: that may be true but no one...no one will set foot on Vale...

I was then confused by what he said.

Cinder: what do you mean

Barren: easy

Flashback

Crimson POV

General: Mr Barren we are calling for a mutiny, we believe your not capable of taking action in...this new world

I didn't speak, I let him talk all the trash he wanted before making my move.

General: this is unacceptable, you have only run around this planet making friends and god knows what else I'm taki-
Barren: your a bigger fool than I thought
General: Pardon me?
Barren: we have no contact with the Empire, we are low on resources, and you wanna start a war?

His reaction to my response was priceless. He didn't expect for me to throw a low punch just because he's a General.

Barren: if we go to war now the people will try to fight back, that's how rebellions are born, I'm just doing the opposite, when they see my men they see a better security than the one they have, they see my men and they feel safer than with Atlas now, if something bad is to happen and we were there to help them they would adore us, if I open branches for them with the promise to take what they lost back...let's say cause of the white fang, they will follow our every command blindly without a second thought

My General was surprised of the revelation I just gave him. It looked like he didn't though about that. Something so simple.

General: still, we think your not the best course of action to rebuild  a colony of the empire
Barren: is that so?
General: that's right...I can speak for a good portion of us that that's what we think
Barren: if this man speaks for you please stand up...I wanna know who are the people who will replace me

Then a good handful of Generals stand up. All of them humans.

I then walked around the room looking at every Face that was willing to betray me. And after I had what I wanted a snapped my fingers and my guards shot every personal that had stand up. The General was frighten.

General: p-please...d-don't k-kill me!!!
Barren:  I think it's to late for begging for forgiveness

I then started to use force Lightning on him. He was screaming wailing in agony as his body was being fried alive. The smell of burning flesh was in the air. All the other Generals shock with what happened. My lieutenant was scared...no...terrified of what she just witnessed.

Barren: tell me lieutenant...how would you like a promotion?
Lieutenant: I would love to sir
Barren: then welcome aboard General

End of flashback

Barren: let's just say...I've been waiting for something similar for sometime now

I then fell on my knees. My body couldn't hold my weight.

Cinder: You can't even stand up, I'll be killing the girl now
Crimson: YOU....you do that and I'll promise you that you will be powerful but you won't rest easy...my men will hunt you down...destroy every corner of Remnant if they have to...then their would be no planet for you to conquer

She looked shocked. But deep down she knew I was a man of my word.

Cinder: this is not over Barren

She then ran of the top as she could. Her body almost as damaged as mine. But anyone can survive with a mangled arm and her body injuries.

???: Master!!!

I looked behind only to see Willow running at me. She grabbed me before my body could fall down . She was crying and I was loosing a lot of blood.

Pathetic, me...dying in a world like this. The same place I ran from. The world I hated with all my heart is gonna be the place die. Lost my parents...never had friends...and I'm gonna lose the one thing that gave meaning to my existence, my little sister.

I grabbed Willow by the shirt and I pulled her towards me.

Crimson: you hear me good
Willow: what is thy bedding my Master?


















































Crimson: strike me down and you will become more powerful than you could ever imagine
