Summary:
Blake's dangerous past comes back to haunt her, can her new family hold up to the Whitefang's anger? (This is gonna be a short multi-shot story). This story is also within the same AU as the rest of my one-shots. [This story contains an OC for the Whitefang].
Mistral Kingdom, Whitefang Base
Athena stands directly beside Yang, still tied to the stake. Will you really go through with this? He's isn't going to spare those that come. He'll kill them, and you'll have led them to this…
I didn't lead them to slaughter, they'll win, I know they will. So Athena waits, and continues to do so for Blake and her army to show. She isn't disappointed as an Atlesian warship drops out of the clouds, dropships deploying and striking fast at the outskirts of the encampment. It takes only three minutes for Blake, Night, and Onyx to walk into the center of the base. Here they are… Athena thinks to herself as she stares at those she considers friends. Adam stands beside her Wilt and Blush in hand as he stares down the Blake.
"So how are we going to do this?" Questions Onyx as he steps before his daughters, as if to shield them from Adam's wrath. Instead though Adam draws Wilt and charges forward striking past Onyx and at Blake directly. Maku slides underneath Onyx's swing to parry Night's daggers. Charic came in next taking on Onyx directly, catching his fist and holding it. Athena stayed back watching though, she would not dare intervene in Adam's fight, for that's what this was, his fight.
Left Flank
Ruby parries a strike from a soldier with a spin of Crescent Rose and twists the giant scythe about her body. The sniper rifle barrel within the scythe aims at the unfortunate soul as she pulls the trigger. The Whitefang soldier thrown backwards and threw a tent side. Weiss flies in on Ruby's right a glyph spawning and blasting two more soldiers into the air.
"There's no lieutenant here, it won't take long to route the soldiers with Ironwood's troops coming in like they are," Weiss states as she looks over at Ruby. The other girl nods and steps forward to continue searching for Whitefang when the chainsaw slices through a tent and towards her head. Weiss reacts in an instant, a glyph activates below Ruby dragging the girl to the ground as the chainsaw blade whirls through where her head had been.
"Wrong Schnee!" Shouts The Loyal as he raises his foot to stomp Ruby only for another set of glyphs to send the reaper shooting towards her partner. Weiss stares in horror as the lieutenant she'd fought on the train nearly two years ago steps onto the field. Next comes Ardent, a hulking man in of himself. "It's time I kill a Schnee, I'm owed one after you dropped that train on me!"
"I'll take biomech, you take the hulk?" Ruby asks her partner as she readies Crescent Rose. Weiss shakes her head though as she stares at the revved up chainsaw.
"Bio is mine, you take the hulk," Weiss states as she bring Myrtenaster up into a lunging position. The two Huntresses-in-Training move in sync, attacking their targets at the same time and throwing the lieutenants off balance, as well as separating them.
Ruby strikes out at Ardent's body forcing him to sidestep. As his foot hits the ground though Ruby's rose petal trailed form appears before him bringing Crescent Rose down on him diagonally. Ardent jumps back bringing up his large hammer to help block the blade.
Weiss jabs Myrtenaster at Loyal as she ducks below his next attack. Coming up quickly though Weiss sets off a combo of hits striking against the metal plating of Loyal's skin. He laughs as he grabs Myrtenaster with his metal hand and rips it from Weiss' grasp.
Right Flank
Ria stands waiting as Sun and Neptune round the corner before her. A smirk grows on her face as she twirls her bladed staff. Neptune doesn't even hesitate shooting the girl a grin and slicking back his hair.
"Hey," Neptune says a sly smile on his face. Ria bows her head laughing at the blue haired swav before her.
Sun begins to giggle as Ria stands there laughing, leaning on her blade staff. It doesn't take long for Sun to be laughing as hard as Ria, Neptune standing off to the side glaring at the two Faunus.
"What's so funny?" Neptune shouts. Sun only laughs harder, bending over and clutching his knees. Ria finally stops and straightens to face the Human.
"Funny? Oh the fact that you're dead," Ria says firmly as a gun appears in her hand and she fires off a round decking the blue haired man without a chance to fire back. Sun's laughing cuts out as he watches his friend fall, clutching his chest. Sun drops to his side and begins patting him down feeling for blood, or a wound, Aura had saved Neptune's life though. "Dust, I thought you two weren't Huntsman, whoops."
As Sun turns back to Ria he watches her cartwheel towards him, bladed staff spinning about. Sun twists drawing Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in their combined staff form. Sun brings the staff around his body in constant circles to block the strikes Ria throws his way. Unlocking Ruyi Bang from the staff and continuing to block with Jingu Bang Sun activates nunchuck form on Ruyi Bang and fires off shotgun rounds to try and stop losing ground. The bladed staff's assault doesn't let up as Ria jumps up and flips over the Monkey Faunus.
"Too bad you like the Traitor, you're cute," Ria whispers in his ear before kicking him in the ass and sending him onto the ground. "Maybe the Human will offer more challenge."
Central Base
Onyx trades blows with Charic, confused as to how the boy half his size was meeting his blows without an issue. Blocking as Charic kicks at his knee Onyx feels his body shake at the hit. How? Onyx catches Charic's next attack and cocks back his massive left arm. I'm sorry my child, Onyx thinks as his arm flies forward with as much force as he can muster slamming it into Charic who only absorbs the blow, his feet sliding only the slightest on the ground.
Cracking his neck and knuckles Charic smiles widely and ducks low pushing off with his legs, but Onyx recognized the move. Stepping back Onyx watches as Charic's fists miss him and give him a chance. Onyx reaches out catching Charic's arms in one of his giant arms and turns throwing Charic to the ground. The ground cracks from the force and Charic struggles to stand as Onyx grabs his leg and drags him along. DUST! Charic thinks as he slams his hand to the ground stopping him from moving with Onyx. What? Onyx turns and finds Charic holding the dirt as he tries to stand. His semblance… he must gain power from being on the earth. That's how he stood up to my fists. Onyx reaches down grabbing Charic by either side of his torso and throwing him into the air. NOOOOOO!
"NOOOOOOO!" Charic shouts as he flies into the air and comes back down for Onyx to slam him into the ground creating a shape of the Whitefang lieutenant in the dirt. Done with tha… the thought is interrupted as a searing pain appears across Onyx's back.
"NOOO!" Blake shouts as she watches Adam swipe Wilt over her father's back before bringing the bloody blade to bear on her once more. Blake struggles to keep up with Adam's movements as Athena watches her former leader in fear. I can't do this, can't disrespect him like this. Athena draws Solace of Loss and slices the bindings off of Yang as she charges towards Onyx's prone form. Athena twists stabbing Solace into the ground to help her turn as she slides into place next Onyx and draws forth a cylinder of Dust. Let me remember please let me remember.
"I'm sorry Leader Belladonna, this will hurt," Athena whispers to him as she pours a bit of Dust onto his back before switching the cylinder for another and pouring some of that onto his back. Carefully lowering her hands onto Onyx's back Athena closes her eyes and breathes as she prepares a controlled burst of Aura. A force slams into her, Aura activating to block the blow. Athena is thrown backwards groaning and struggling to breath, coughing and hacking. Her golden irises open to see Maku's foot placed on her chest, one of the baton blades at her throat.
"Traitor!" Maku hisses loudly before Night slams into her throwing the two of them to the ground. Night cocks back her fist and slams it into Maku's face, dropping her dagger in the process.
"Help US!" Night shouts at Athena, her amber eyes narrow like those of a predator. Night focuses back on Maku though, her fists slamming into the other Faunus with a ferocity Athena had only seen once before. Instantly making a decision Athena turns back to Onyx, catching in her peripheral vision Yang charging at Adam, while Blake was still fighting him.
Blake watches her partner coming in behind Adam and ducks down. Adam reverses his grip on Wilt only to be slammed in the back by Yang's shoulder charge. The unlucky man is tripped over Blake and lands flat on his face as Yang jumps atop him and slams her flaming fist into Adam, his Aura flaring wildly to block the flames and punches. Blake creates a shadow clone, jumping off it and into the air, blocking out the sun above Adam. The man realizes what's about to happen and gets his legs beneath Yang, kicking her off as he backflips into a standing position. Only a second later Gambol slices across the dirt as Blake lands and continues sending the weapon around on its ribbon.
The attack forces Adam back, but he doesn't move fast enough and Blush is caught, and thrown, by Gambol as Blake finally pulls the weapon in. Adam raises his face to stare at the scarlet eyed brawler and ebony haired ninja across from him. Now it's interesting, Adam thinks before charging in with Wilt.
Author's Note:
We're getting super close now. I hope you are all enjoying this, don't worry I'll be trying to post every day or so to get this complete, if I don't it's because of work most likely, but I do have a plan so you shouldn't need to wait too long.
