This was an idea that I came up with after a severe cause of boredom and Fanfiction ideas. If you want it to continue be sure to say you do, if not, say you don't. I hope you enjoy this, as the only Fanfiction so far to feature Raven Branwen and Lie Ren.
[hr]
It had been around two hours since team RNJR arrived to Mistral. They were all taking a much well deserved rest. Ruby was in a bed sleeping away, tired from the events that took place. Jaune had headed out into Mistral to check out the place. And Ren and Nora were resting in a bed. Ren was awake, but Nora was, like Ruby, sound asleep. Ren was in a seperate bed than his best friend. Instead of sleeping, he looked at the ceiling, debating on whether to go to sleep or to head out into Mistral. Go for a walk, or go to sleep.
After around ten more seconds, which felt like an eternity for Ren, he decided to go out for a walk. So he gets out of the bed and walks over to a dresser and picked up his StormFlower. He placed them at his side and picked up a noepad and pencil.
Dear Nora,
Assuming you didn't just rush past this note that I'll be leaving on the door. I've decided to go out for a little bit. Get used to the scenery and relax a little. I'll be back soon.
~Love Ren.
And with that, Ren grabbed some tape and placed it on the door as he left out.
[hr]
Mistral truly was a beautiful sight to see. The home to Haven had a great looking town, and even greater looking mountians. Ren currently sat on one of the mountains looking at the village. He could help but smile at the sight ahead of him.
"Hmm, I wish I had a camera. Nora would like this view." He said. As he was looking, he saw a raven fly by. Ren only smirked at the bird, before he... felt something. It was someone's presence, at it wasn't friendly. Ren stood up and began to run toward the source.
[hr]
After around ten minutes of running, Ren stopped moving. Not necessarily losing the sense, but knowing it was close. He knew he needed to be very careful. He closed in on the location carefully. He moved slowly past the bushes, making sure to minimize his sound to nothing.
He emerges past the bushes to see a women in the middle of an open meadow. The women seemed to wear a shallow cut black dress, a red girdle-belt, and a pair of matching gauntlets. She also wore detached black leggings with a red splatter pattern, and black leather boots beneath them. She also seemed to wear some kind of mask on her face.
She also had a chamber on her left side with her right hand in front of a chamber end. As if she was holding onto a sword.
In front of her were two males. One was a wearing what looked like a bloody blindfold, a red trench coat, a red top hat, a burgandy under vest, and a white collared shirt under the vest, a pair of red pants and black boots. In his left hand was a steampunk like pump action shotgun with a axe blade at barrel.
The other one was a black long-haired faunus with a black tank top with a red hourglass on it, and a pair of black cargo pants and running shoes. He also had a sadistic smile on his face. A smile, that Ren recognized. It didn't help that this one was also an arthropod. But not a scorpion, instead a spider. This one had four spider legs emerging from his back, technically giving him eight limbs (Four spider legs, two arms, two legs). He also had splicer hooks attached to his arms.
They didn't look friendly towards the woman. The woman did look like she could hold her own. Ren was gonna stay where he was as a just in case.
[hr]
"Miss Raven Branwen, I do not intend on staying here any longer than I need to. I've only come with an offer. An offer that will bring peace to our tribes." The blindfolded one said.
"I know better than to trust a snake, Kobura." Raven said. The blindfolded man, known as Kobura, simply growled and licked his teeth with a black forked tongue.
"You're making this more difficult than it needs to be." Kobura said.
"I'll give you a chance to leave Kobura. Turn around and go. I will not ask again." Raven said. The spider faunus gave a sadistic chuckle.
"It seems that talking is out of the question. Rajak." Kobura called. The Spider faunus's grin only widened. Revealing his teeth was very sharp. "End this quickly."
"With pleasure." Rajak said. He charges at Raven, barely giving her time to take out her blade. Luckily, She managed to do so and block two slashes with her red sword.
Rajak charges in again and strikes twice, only for Raven to block them both. Raven attempts to slash a his torso, but Rajak dashes back and then dashes forward. The two slash past one another, but Rajak was quicker on his feet and quickly kicked Raven in her back. She quickly turns around and slashes at Rajak's head. He dodges that, and counters with an upward slash to Raven's face. Only to miss by inches. Raven moves in, only for Rajak to quickly move behind her and grab her with his hooks and throw her over to the ground.
As Raven recovered, Rajak charges in with a slash to the face. Raven blocks it and ducks under another hook slash aimed at her head. She then kicks him back and cuts him twice, in his torso and chest before grabbing his arm and throwing him onto his back.
Rajak laughs and uses his Spider legs to lift him up and turn around and drop to his own feet. Still with that sadistic smile.
"Creepy." Raven said. She charges in, using her sword to deliver some devastating attacks that did nothing to Rajak blocking them with his spider legs. Rajak then spots an opening and moves in.
First he slashes at Raven's front, and before she could turn around, slashes in a diagonal form in her back. While in the air, he dashes down, cutting Raven once again. And then slash dashes her two more times. That was enough to send her to her knees.
[hr]
Ren watched from the bushes. He was amazed at the fight, but also alert. He needed to make sure, whoever was the villian wouldn't get the drop on him.
Until he noticed the blindfolded one was nowhere to be found.
'Wait, where'd he go?' Ren thought.
"There's no use in hiding young one." A voice said from behind him. Ren turns around just in time to dodges an axe attack to the head. He blocks two more attacks to his body and then stops an stab to his torso with his StormFlower.
"The nose knows." Kobura said. It was then that Ren noticed that he was only blocking the blade. Not the barrel. Kobura pulls the trigger, which fired a blast that sent Ren flying towards the meadow. Ren lands harshly onto his back, but quickly rolls to his feet. However, he was hurt. Badly, and clenched his side. Kobura jumps into Ren's line of sight and pumps his shotgun axe. Ren prepares himself for battle.
[hr]
Rajak charges in again, coming in with a kick. Raven blocks it and counters with a sword strike to his torso, knocking him to the ground. Slashes him into the air. As he was coming back down, Raven kept him into the air with more sword slashes. She then knocks him up into the air and then kicks him away.
Rajak flips onto all eights and started running towards her like that.
[hr]
Kobura jumps at Ren, performing a spinning spear attack, that Ren blocked, and with all his strength, forced him over his own head. Kobura recovers mid air and comes down with an aerial slash into a back slash attack. Both were blocked. Ren attempts to counter, but that was blocked and countered as well. Ren only barely blocked that, leaning back as he kept the axe blade from hitting him. Ren attempts to go on the offensive. But it was proved useless as it was all blocked. Kobura goes on the offensive and Slashes at Ren's torso, chest and head. Multiple times. Ren was hit around five times. All of which were devasting attacks. Ren was then hit with the butt of the axe gun and Kobura spins it a few times before blasting Ren back with another shot. When Ren recovered. He was not feeling to good. His aura was low, and he was out of breath. Even worse, he was outmatched.
[hr]
Rajak and Raven clash once more. One enjoying themselves, the other rather irriated. Raven's attack were doing her no good. Rajak was either too fast to hit, or too quick to block her attacks.
After blocking a kick to her face with her sword that sent her sliding back. Makes contact with Ren. She turns around to see Kobura was pumping his shotgun once more.
"Get out of here kid. You're gonna get yourself killed." Raven warned. Ren wasn't about to back down. More so the reason that he couldn't rather than wouldn't. The two ended up back to back. Raven put her sword back into the chamber and spun the dial.
"Backing down isn't an option." Ren said. He stands in a defensive fighting stance once more.
"Hope is not on our side, and you still help me fight? You must be crazy kid." Raven implied. Ren watched as Kobura came close. Ren tightened the grip on his StormFlower.
"You can thank Nora for that." Ren said. Kobura gave a smirk. As did Rajak. Rajak ran on all eights as Kobura ran forward. They then jump over the targets they fought, and switched to the other. Rajak now faced Ren, and Kobura now faced Raven. Rajak, charged in fast, slashing his hooks at Ren. Ren only barely dodges it, and tries to kick Rajak's side. Rajak turns with his back facing the kick allowing his spider leg to block. Ren stumbles back, shooting his StormFlower. Rajak blocks the bullets and slams his hooks down against Ren's StormFlower. Ren manages to block it, but he was leaning back and off balance. Noticing this, Rajak kicks Ren into the air.
As Ren was in the air, something grabbed his leg. He looked and saw that it was a think, silky, rope-like string wrapped around his leg. The string was coming from the spider leg of the faunus.
With the string, Rajak spins around and throws Ren farther towards the meadow, and then runs after him.
[hr]
Kobura charges at Raven as she pulled out a blue katana. The two exchange in a multitude of slashes. The two then clash together. Facing one another as they pushed against each other's blade.
"Still don't want to hear my offer?" Kobura asked.
"Fat chance you poisonous snake." Raven said. Kobura grins. He pushes his axe up, ending the clash and starts to attack with swing after swing. Raven wasn't able to keep up with all of them, and was hit multiple times. However, she did see an opening, and went for it. She stabs her blade into his torso, and it went through. Kobura was unaffected. He instead smirked. That's when Raven noticed her fatal flaw, a fact she had completely forgotten.
Kobura swings his axe at Raven's head, causing her to quickly pull out her sword and backflip away from it. Kobura's wound poured out blood. But it didn't touch the ground. Instead, it floated to his hand, and his blood soon transformed into a sword. Raven's fatal flaw was forgetting Kobura's semblance. Indivisual Hemokinesis.
"Now the deal is off." Kobura said. He then charges in.
[hr]
Ren recovers onto his hands and knees. He looks at his hands and noticed two things. One: He had two large cuts on each hand. Two: His StormFlowers weren't in them. He looks around for his StormFlowers and sees them off in the distance. He stands up to get them, before feeling pain once more. This time, in his right side.
He looks and sees a gash there, just below the ribs. This meant his aura was completely down. A very bad thing. He ignores the pain and limbs to his weapons. To his horror, Rajak jumps right in front of them. Ren stops and slowly began to back away. Rajak does a simple laugh and then takes off his splicer hooks and put them on his back.
"Let's make it a fair fight, shall we?" He said as he got onto all fours with his spider legs in the air. This was very bad for Ren. His aura was down, he was critically hurt, and his opponent had a four limbed advantage. But, if Ren ran, he wouldn't make it far. So he gets into his own fighting stance, and braces for any pain that welcomed him.
Rajak charges forward.
[hr]
Raven was on the ground. Down but not out. She had a few cuts on her legs and arms, but she was fine. However, she was beaten down to the point where her mask was knocked off. She lays up to see Kobura pointing the tip of his axe blade right at her.
"All you had to do was listen to my offer. But you just couldn't trust a snake." Kobura said. Raven tries to get up, but she was just kicked back down. Kobura then hears a scream of agony. Kobura turns his ears toward the sound and picked up the sounds of someone's bones breaking.
While she thought he was distracted, Raven picks up her sword and aims for his head. Kobura blocks it with the butt of the axe gun and pulls the trigger, firing at Raven's feet. An explosive round sends Raven flying back. She lands on her back and then flips on her stomach. She looked up to see Kobura walking away from her. And towards her unknown ally.
[hr]
Ren had suffered a devastating kick to his left side which resulted in at least three broken ribs. Ren was in no condition to fight. But he had to defend himself at all costs. Rajak rushes in again and throws two punches. Both Ren managed to block. And a flip kick, that Ren only barely moved out of the way of. Thinking he was in the clear, Ren tries to go for an attack, only for one of the spider legs to puncture his foot. Leaving him in enough pain to leave him open for a kick to send him to the ground.
Ren's vision began to fail him. He bled from his hands, his right side and now his foot. And he had at least three broken ribs, if not more. Ren couldn't do anything to save him. And now he could see the other one approaching. Ren tries to crawl back, but it did absolutely nothing. He was out of time and out of options.
Kobura sticks the blade end of the axe in the dirt and approached Ren.
"You are a strong specimen young one. Anyone else would've been dead a while ago. I shall make this worth my time." Kobura said. He grasps Ren's throat and began to chant something that Ren couldn't make out.
However, Ren could make out the blood on Kobura's blindfold turning black.
Kobura finishes his chanting, and open's his mouth. A black smoke emerges from his mouth and a black ink comes out and runs across his shoulder, to his arm, to his hand, and then to Ren's face.
Ren felt burning. And a lot of it. It burned him so bad he began to scream in agony. To him, this was worse than broken ribs, this was worse than being punched by a giant robot. Worse than being slammed by a nuckelavee grimm. It was the worse pain Ren had ever felt in his life. This soon prompted him to lose conciousness.
Raven ran towards the group with her red blade and jumps into the air. When she landed, she severes Kobura's arm. Cutting it off at the elbow. The now severed arm lays on the ground, which Kobura facing Raven with a smile on his face. Rajak was ready to attack, but it was too late. Raven had already made a portal and was carrying Ren through it. Before the portal closed, Rajak threw the StormFlower through it. One missed Raven, the other got her in the shoulder.
The portal closes, and the two disappeared. Kobura continued to smile. Rajak, was actually pretty confused.
"Um... Kobura? Why are you smiling?"
"You'll see soon enough Rajak. Kobura said as he walked away. Rajak soon followed. "You'll see soon enough.
[hr]
Raven's portal opened inside of another meadow. Closer to Mistral. Ren's first StormFlower, flew out of the portal first. Then came out Raven, who was carrying Ren. She places Ren on the ground and takes the other StormFlower out of her shoulder. She then places her ear on Ren's chest, attempting to get his heartbeat. It was faint, but it was there. He was alive, but for how long?
She began to look around for something. As she looked around, a black ink emeged onto Ren's left arm and left side of his face. The ink didn't cover up the entirety of his face or arm, but instead looked like a tribal dragon.
Ren opens his eyes and both of his eyes had pitch black scleras. He looks at Raven, and as she turned to look at him, he lunges on top of her and began to use both hands to choke her.
Raven was pinned on the ground being choked by her now-former ally. She attempted to pry his hands off with her own, but found she couldn't, and was losing conciousness quickly. As black seeped into her vision, she saw the ink on Ren's face and the color of his eyes. He wasn't in control. But hope wasn't lost.
The ink slowly disappeared and Ren's eyes slowly turned back to normal. He closes his eyes and reopens them and saw himself choking the woman he was helping. He quickly gets off of her and stands on his feet. He backs away with his hands up.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I-" He stopped as he saw a black ink slowly disappear from his left hand. He follows the ink, as it ends, dissappearing on his shoulder.
That's when he noticed his pain was no longer there. His cuts and gash. Healed. His Ribs, no longer broken. His bruises, no longer there. What happened to him?
Raven slowly gets to her feet and makes eye contact with Ren. Ren looked in her eyes and was reminded of someone he knew.
'Yang.' He thought.
"Meet me at the hotel lobby exactly twelve hours from now. You and I need to talk." She said as she activated a portal again. Ren grabs her arm before she stepped through it.
"Wait." He requested. She stopped and looked at him.
"Who are you? And who were they?" He asked.
"My name's Raven." She said. Ren released his grip and Raven stepped through the portal. But before doing so her last words were. "And they are your new enemies."
With those last words, she stepped through the portal and disappeared. Leaving Ren confused. All Ren knew was that that woman's name was Raven, he had to meet her again at the hotel lobby, and those men were now his new enemies. Now, all he could do was hope she would bring answers. He needed to wait twelve hours. If he could make it that long.
[hr]
All done, and boy was this an adventure to write. Anyways, be sure to leave some feedback in the reviews and be sure to tell me if this should or shouldn't be continued.
Fun facts time.
Kobura is Japanese for Cobra
