Chapter 23

<Y/n p.o.v.>

Team RWBY was fighting another team in the tournament.

Ika and I were cheering them on constantly.

I gotta say this is surely becoming something to truly behold.

Once they won Ika and I went to them.

I got hugged by Ruby and Yang whilst Ika got hugged by both Blake and Weiss.

We all went down to the fairgrounds.

"WE DID IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-is anyone else hungry" Ruby asked.

"I guess I have worked up an appetite" Blake said.

A large growl came from her stomach.

Ika put his head up at her stomach.

"I felt it kick" He joked.

We laughed.

A larger growl came from Ika's stomach.

Blake and Weiss put their heads up at his stomach.

"We felt it kick" They joked.

"Oh haha" Ika said as he picked both of them up.

"I know just the place" Yang said.

As we were walking Weiss got a call.

It doesn't look like she likes the person who's calling her.

"Hey, might be hard to eat without this" A voice said.

It was Emerald, she was holding Ruby's wallet.

"HUH, WAIT, I NO, NO NO NO" Ruby said as she checked her pockets....she has pockets?

"Good to see you Ruby" Emerald said.

She gave her wallet back to Ruby.

"Oh, thanks Emerald, guess I dropped it, girl pockets are the worse" Ruby said.

"What's up Em" Yang asked.

"Just came back from the stadium after watching your amazing fight, you guys were awesome" Emerald said.

Ruby was swooning over the comment.

"I heard your team progressed into the next round too" Blake said.

"You know I feel like we never get to see our teammates" Weiss said.

"How'd they do in the fight" Yang asked.

Emerald thought for a bit.

"Really well" Emerald said.

"Congrats" I said.

"That's great, why don't we all get some victory food together" Ruby asked.

"Oh gosh, that's so nice of you but my team are all kinda...introverted" Emerald said.

Her teammate Mercury was smelling a shoe.

"Really socially awkward" Emerald said.

"Oooh yeah, I can see that" Yang said.

"So yeah, Merc and I are going to be moving onto the doubles round, what about you guys" Emerald asked.

Ika sighed.

"We haven't had our battle yet" He said.

"As for us, as the leader of team RWBY I thought long and hard about it" Ruby said.

Weiss came in.

"We put it to a vote" She said.

"Uhh yes but I decided to put it to a vote" Ruby said.

"We voted for Weiss and Yang" Blake said.

"I will happily represent team RWBY" Weiss said.

Yang punched her knuckles together.

"YEAH WE'RE GONNA KICK SOME BUTT" Yang said.

"Well if Mercury and I see you down the line don't think we're going to go easy on you" Emerald said.

"Wouldn't have it any other way" Yang said.

"Right, well we're gonna catch some more fights" Emerald said.

We said our goodbyes.

We followed Yang to a stall.

Everyone sat down.

"I'll have a bowl of the regular please" Yang said to the stall manager.

A bowl of noodles appeared.

"I'll take the same" Ruby said.

A bowl of noodles appeared.

"Do you have anything with a low salt" Weiss asked.

A bowl of noodles appeared.

Blake nodded.

The stall manager zoomed into the back, whipped up something, then came out.

A bowl of noodles with fish appeared.

Blake was in love.

Weiss pulled out her card, it was like special edition type shit.

"Oh Weiss what's the occasion" Yang asked.

"Consider it thanks for sending me into the doubles round" Weiss said.

SHING!!

Her card was shuriken thrown back at Weiss.

<DECLINED>

"What, how can my card be declined, I was barely into my monthly allowance" Weiss said.

Blake tried to steal the bowl but it got taken away from her.

"No" She said sadly.

I turned to Ika.

He was ready to run, Weiss stopped him.

"Ika" I said.

"Don't you dare" He said.

"Could you..." I said.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING SAY IT" He said.

I smirked.

I pulled out an innocent smile.

"Could you be a lamb and pay for the meal" I said.

It was like he was burning on the inside.

"FINE" He shouted.

He pulled out his card.

His was red and silver and it had Niflheim on it.

The store manager took it and scanned it.

<ACCEPTED>

"ANYONE ELSE" Ika shouted.

"Mind if we join" Pyrrha said as she was coming to us with her team.

Ika began crying silently.

"I'll pay for them too" Ika cried.

We all had a giant fill.

"Are we all full" I asked.

Nora burped loudly.

"I bet anyone can't beat that" She said.

"Nora, that's disgusti-" Ren said.

Ika burped louder, the ground shook as he burped.

When he was finished he turned to Nora.

"And the emmy goes to..." He said with a chuckle.

Nora and Ika laughed.

"So...what now" Ika asked.

"Well we're waiting for out tournament to start, when is it" I asked.

"It's....oh shit...WE GOTTA GO" Ika said.

He grabbed me by my collar and warped us to his car.

He drove us to his car, then on a ship, then he sent the ship to the Colosseum.

After we landed he sped us over to some seats.

"IKA WHAT'S WRONG" I asked.

"After team JNPR we're on, and there's an interesting twist in our battle, first in history, and I DON'T want to miss it" He said.

We saw team JNPR appear, they were fighting team BRNZ.

Ika was anxious for the fight.

Though why the rush.

<Timeskip>

Once the fight finished we began preparations.

Ika and I were in the locker rooms.

"Ika you ready" I asked.

He was sitting down at a bench, looking at his helmet.

"Hey Y/n...tell me...have I changed in any way..." He asked.

I turned to him.

"What do you mean" I asked.

"Do you think...I've changed...do you remember how cruel I was when we met..." He asked.

Kinda...

I remember exactly how we met....and it wasn't pretty...

<Flashback>

It had been exactly two hours since I left the Abyssal well.

I looked at the moon.

Why was it shattered?

But that wasn't by greatest concern.

I noticed I was surrounded by monsters.

Creatures of darkness?

Are these servants of Aldrich?

Whatever they are they need to die.

I pulled out my sword and knife and I attacked them.

And just as I began winning more arrived, including a giant snake one.

I'm fucked!

Just as the snake came to strike something giant towered over us.

Two red orbs appeared, followed by a giant red smile.

Red lightning appeared on the creature....IT WAS A GIANT WOLF!!

As it roared the lightning went everywhere.

It turned to the snake, swallowed it in one gulp, then smashed the creatures into pieces.

As it headed towards me I charged up some lightning.

I shot the creature with it.

It stopped coming closer, then it charged lightning in it's mouth.

We both shot our lightning at each other.

The creature overpowered me.

It came closer to me.

It opened it's mouth.

The creature tried speaking to me.

It was speaking an unknown language, it was giving me a headache.

When it stopped the creature began going smaller.

It then took the form of a man in some weird armor.

"You are not of this world" He said.

"No...I'm not" I said.

"Then we are one in the same....human" He said.

The man's armor began disappearing in a red light.

When the light disappeared a boy was standing there, he was roughly my age.

He had white hair, silver eyes, and he looked like he meant trouble.

"I am not of this world either....follow me, I'll take you to my home" He said.

I followed him for what felt like 30 minutes.

We ended up at some sort of tower.

We entered it.

"This tower only opens at night, so if you ever wanted to visit me again...make sure it's night time..." The boy said.

As we went deeper into the tower we went along a VERY LONG walkway.

Then we entered a room filled with cubes.

"Follow me" He ordered.

I followed him to some cubes in the floor.

Two stacks of bricks were over at the entrance.

(Before I go on, it was requested by a friend of mine to do a walkthrough, she's stuck on Costlemark Tower and she wanted me to do a walkthrough, if anyone is stuck at Costlemark tower then consider this a walkthrough, BAM MULTITASKING!!)

We went down into the floor, the other cube closed in above us.

As we went further we found more cubes.

"Want to know how to get to the hidden chamber" The boy asked.

"How" I asked.

He gave me a locket, inside was an arrow and what looked like a map.

"Follow the minimap and interact with the cubes" He said.

I did as he said and I touched a cube.

It moved out of the way.

We kept moving onwards.

Sometimes they went up and down too.

Eventually I ended up at a crossroad of a sort, one way continued onwards whilst another one led to a dead end.

"Is it this way" I said pointing to the dead end.

"Nope, that'll lead you to a dangerous area where you'll most likely die to three red giants, tons of slimes, and a giant snake lady" He said.

So I pushed the other cube.

As we continued we finally made it to some sort of golden pedestal thingy.

We both stood on it.

The boy activated it, we were going down.

As we went down we saw tons of red lights, we then made it to a giant room.

I stood into the room and looked at the giant red thingy.

It was...A MACHINE!!!

"What...is this thing" I asked.

"This is what brought me to this world, this tower, the cubes, the machine, I was brought here thanks to them, similar to your portal" He said.

"The well" I asked.

"Yes, as it turns out we were both taken from our worlds and into this one, however...I'm not sure how we even made it to this world" He said.

I turned to him.

"What do you mean" I asked.

"Portals have links, however small or large, that's how we get to other worlds, as for the links....this tower can take me to areas that hold the same link, for example I can go to this world and another world as long as they're linked through something called SquareEnix and other links, as for yours I could see a rough translation of a few links, one such link is called FromSoftware, as for this world...well...I'm not sure how but...we made it here...without a link, and that's dangerous enough as it is" He said.

"So this world has a link...but an unknown one" I asked.

"You're not as dumb as you look, but it's more or less this world has a claimed link...therefore it's open to everyone" He said.

He then sat down.

"Here" He said as he threw something at me.

I caught it.

It was a cup of some sort, on it said....cup noodles?

"You better eat" He said in a moody tone.

I better start up a conversation.

"How long have you been here" I asked.

"A week I think" He said.

"Mind if I ask for your name" I asked.

He turned to me.

"Humans should know their place when talking to a god" He said.

Prideful huh...

"Alright then Mr Prideful, I'll just give you my name, I'm Y/n L/n" I said.

He grunted.

"It's Ikagaki...Ikagaki Kujin Cross" He said.

"Alright then Ikagaki...where should we begin our adventure" I asked.

<Reality>

I nodded.

"I will admit you have become more approachable and kinder since we first met" I said.

"Do you think I've gone too soft for humanity and Faunus kind" He asked.

"Yeah...you've softened up quite nicely actually, you've even been limiting your powers with them" I chuckled.

He turned to me.

"Do you think it's fair for me to be forced to limit myself for them....when they haven't done anything for me" He asked.

"Umm..." I said.

"I feel as if...humanity deserves to know my potential....and I don't think it's fair that I have softened up to them...no...I will not allow it" He said.

He stood up, then smashed his helmet.

"From now on y/n...I'm not holding back against humanity or Faunus, they're being trained so they have no excuse, it's official..." He said.

His clothes glowed, then they disappeared, being replaced with new clothes.

"I will not allow anyone to make me change for their betterment" He said.

He summoned a black fedora and placed it on.

"And neither should you" He said as he walked out.

I followed.

Maybe...I have changed too...back in my world I've killed hundreds of people without mercy...

And I've begun limiting myself for everyone...should I though?

Should I be forced to do that for them...

Ika's right....I've had enough...

This time...I'm going all out...

And no one is going to stop me...
