I only own my OC
Raven Branwen panted, exhaustion clear on her face behind her mask. She'd come to provide at least some form of aid during the fall of Beacon, and had very narrowly intercepted the arrow meant to kill Pyrrha Nikos, now doing battle with Cinder Fall while simultaneously dodging the attacks of a Grimm Dragon and desperately trying to keep both Pyrrha and her own stepdaughter, Ruby, alive and unscathed.
"You're not going to win…."
Cinder hissed, Raven narrowly dodging a strike that would've cleanly removed her head otherwise. Raven stifled a yelp of pain. Earlier on in her match she'd been badly wounded. A lucky blow that allowed Cinder to slash from the top of her right shoulder down to her left hip. Bleeding profusely, Raven was still determined to emerge victorious for the fight, or die trying. Fighting savagely, she almost didn't care when Cinder knocked her mask off, though the temporary shock allowed for another critical attack, slicing off Raven's sword arm at the shoulder and forcing Raven to do something she truly hated. Desperation glowing in her eyes, Raven managed to pick up her weapon again with her nondominant hand and realized just how close to the edge of the platform she and Cinder were.
"Promise me you'll protect my daughter from harm."
Raven thought, extending her thoughts to her one true friend.
"I promise old friend."
Came the reply as Raven continued to do battle. Slowly pushing Cinder back towards the edge of the tower. Finding out her opponent's plan, Cinder scoffed.
"You wouldn't dare. You still have your precious daughters to worry about."
Cinder taunted. Raven spoke for only the second time since she started the fight.
"She hates my guts if you haven't noticed, I have nothing left to live for. You on the other hand, deserve to die."
She hissed before charging, a rather reckless move, but it accomplished the desired effect, sending them both sprawling off the side of the main tower of Beacon. In what seemed to be Raven's ast true ditch effort and with the last of her strength, Raven retrieved the last of her dust swords and cleanly sliced off the head of Cinder Fall before releasing a final burst of destructive energy, destroying the Grimm around her as she slammed back first into the hard and uneven rubble of the destroyed courtyard. Blood coming from her head and from inside her mouth, most of her ribs beginning the slow and painful process of knitting themselves back together with the aid of what little bit of her aura was left. Blood pouring from the still open wound in her chest from Cinder's blade and the arrow lodged in her leg from the now dead Fall Maiden's bow.
As darkness overtook Raven's vision, pain screaming through every fiber of her being, Raven welcomed the budding darkness.
Her last vision being those of a pair of worried red eyes.
A/N
Wanted to try a Raven redemption arc. Kinda, the blast of destructive energy will be explained. Along with the telepathic communication. And who Raven was talking to.
