Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Now then I said here you'll get to see some of Naruto's ruthlessness, and you will so get off my damn back! Also we'll be having some tender moments between Naruto and Pyrrha, which I'm sure a lot of you will love, all rounding up with Naruto's inner darkness finally coming out to play. So without further ado.
I own nothing
Naruto stood in a row along with the other final fighters in the Single Rounds as Port and Oobleck explained the rules, though Naruto wasn't really listening as he kept glancing worriedly at Pyrrha at the other end of the row.
He had planned to go talk to her, he didn't why but he felt the need to make sure she was alright, but before he could find her they had been called to the Colosseum to start the Single Rounds. Naruto could see that something was troubling her, and he wanted to make sure she's alright.
'Along with slaughtering who ever upset her.' Naruto thought eye's briefly flashing black when he was snapped from his thoughts
"Naruto Branwen and Mercury Black!" Announced Port
Looking up Naruto saw it was him and Mercury fighting first.
"Break a leg bro!" Yang shouted
"Would all other combatants please leave the stage!" Said Port
Naruto and Mercury towards each other as the central platform floated with a ring of spotlights rising up and focusing on the two fighters.
"Let's end this quickly." Naruto said activating his gauntlets
"With pleasure." Replied Mercury laughing darkly
Both fighters got into their stances raising their arms defensively.
"Three! Two! One! Begin!" Said Port
Immediately, Naruto charges forward throwing a punch, and Mercury spins his foot to meet it, creating a shockwave between the weapons that launches him back. Mercury closes the distance quickly and aims at Naruto's feet with his boot, but he leaps over it and fires off a shot of Shadow Ash that Mercury rotates to avoid. They fight fist-to-fist for a moment, Naruto getting in a blast on his opponent at the cost of him also landing a blow. He falls back on his feet when Mercury shoots himself into the air to get farther away from, looking up and smiling.
Naruto doesn't relent for a second, launching shot after shot only for Mercury to dodge each of them, sliding around the stage on clouds of air until he attempts to come down on him with his leg. Naruto blocks and pushes away the attack, but Mercury goes under his shotgun burst and manages to land a kick on him, though he still lands in a crouch, grimacing.
Naruto launches forward with a double blast and continues landing blow after blazing blow on him, right up to when he roundhouse kicks him in the back and attempts to hit him with his heel. He gets out just in time and punches Mercury to the ground trying to get him, but he leaps out and twirls to get a hit on him. One of his kicks seems to pass over the Branwen, but then he brings it down hard enough to shatter the steel underneath, which Naruto narrowly rolls backward to avoid.
They exchange kicks after this attack until Mercury hits Naruto backwards, and he rushes forward only to receive a fist to his chin, then his torso, knocking him on his stomach. He gets up right as Naruto starts raining down fire again, causing him to somersault back until one explosion causes him to get knocked off of the stage. He saves himself by firing his boots downward and flying back in front of his enemy, unleashing a series of kicks that Naruto deflects with his arms. He ducks under one attack only to receive another as Mercury jumps into the air to knock him back, and he follows it up with a shot from his boots. Naruto avoids it effortlessly, not noticing it still hanging around behind her.
Switching tactics, Mercury starts shooting his foot out in every direction, each kick into the air accompanied by a silvery blast that are barely even aimed at Naruto. He dodges each one coming his way and gets in close through the circling barrage of shots, fighting with their fists again until Mercury kicks him into the air and knocks her right back to the ground, followed by the dozens of swirling shots that now converge right on to Naruto.
When the blasts stop coming down on his opponent, Mercury gets up from his crouch and grins to himself, dusting off his outfit and seeming as happy as can be until the smoke from behind him erupts into a cloud of darkness. His momentary shock turns into another smile as he turns around to see Naruto wisps of black smoke emitting from his body cracking his neck.
"My turn." Said Naruto
Naruto spreads his arm out creating several portals around the ring, just then Naruto vanished appearing in front of Mercury slamming his fist into his opponent's face sending him flying back into a portal, spinning on his feet Naruto delivered another punch as Mercury exited another portal.
This continued for several minutes with Naruto repeatedly hitting Mercury and sending him through portals not letting up for even a second. Finally, Naruto decided to end it, as Mercury exited a portal again rather than punch him Naruto twisted his body lifting his left up delivering a kick into Mercury's jaw launching into the air, opening a portal beneath him Naruto jumped through appearing in the air of Mercury.
Spinning in the air Naruto slammed his leg into Mercury's chest, his aura flickering across his body to try and lessen the damage.
Hitting the arena floor Mercury groaned, while Naruto landed a short distance away with a smirk.
"What a way to KICK off the finals!" Said Port
"Leave the pun making to Miss Xiao Long, Peter. And Naruto Branwen wins!" Oobleck said
"Yeah! You did it bro!" Cheered Ruby
"Way to go Naruto!" Blake said
"That's my brother!" Shouted Yang
*Atlas*
"…And Naruto Branwen wins!" Said Oobleck in the Schnee Manor
"Yeah, go daddy!" Krystal cheered waving a Team RWBY flag
Winter smiled as her daughter cheered.
*Colosseum*
"Better luck next time." 'Now to find Pyrrha.' Naruto said thinking the latter part as he walked to exit the arena
"There's not going to be a next time, Branwen!" Growled Mercury
Naruto suddenly heard a sharp sound, turning he scowled seeing Mercury jumping at him with an unsuspecting kick.
'You wanna play dirty, fine let's play.' Thought Naruto as a blade in his gauntlet popped out
Just as Mercury's kick was about to connect Naruto stabbed the blade into his leg along with firing a shot at it. Naruto would be lying if he said he didn't feel satisfaction when he heard something break.
"My word!" Said Oobleck getting up from his chair
"Cut the camera's!" Port ordered immediately
Everyone looked at Naruto in surprise, horror, and hatred, though he ignored it as he stalked towards Mercury intent to break a lot more than just his leg.
*Mountain Glenn*
Several Grimm all looked up towards Amity Colosseum floating near Beacon, while four hooded figures standing on the roof of a ruined building also looked towards the Stadium.
"Let's go, it's time for our master to return." The leader said in a blank voice
*Colosseum*
"My leg, MY LEG!" Said Mercury gripping his broken leg
"Your leg's about to be the least of - Huh?" Said Naruto as Atlesian Knights and two Atlas Soldiers surrounded him with their guns aimed at him
"Naruto Branwen, stand down!" The soldier ordered
"What!? Why!?" Demanded Naruto
"Mercury!" Emerald said running over to her partner
"Why'd he do that!? WHY'D HE ATTACK ME!?" Cried Mercury hysterically
Emerald threw Naruto a disgusted look, though Naruto saw something else in her eyes, smug satisfaction.
"Oh, you little bitch-" Growled Naruto walking forward preparing to put tear them apart
"I said stand down!" Ordered the soldier
Naruto stopped glaring at the soldier as he looked up at the screen and was shocked that rather than showing Mercury attacking him, it showed Mercury walking up to him and Naruto attacking unprovoked.
Looking around Naruto saw all the looks of hatred directed at him, the fearful and shocked looks of his teammates. But what hurt the most was the look of shock and fear Pyrrha had, seeing her look at him like that Naruto had a single thought.
'I'm going to kill them all.'
*Later-RWBY's Dorm*
"I'm sorry, but you've left us with no choice." Said Ironwood
"I've already told you a thousand times, HE attacked ME!" Naruto said through gritted teeth gripping his head
He didn't know what was wrong with him but at the moment, Naruto was hanging on by a literal thread before he goes on a rampage, it didn't help that his arm and wings kept acting up.
"Video footage and millions of viewers say otherwise." Countered Ironwood walking around the room not meeting his eyes
"But Naruto would never do that!" Weiss defended
"Yeah!" Agreed Ruby
"Sure, he has a temper but he wouldn't just randomly attack someone!" Added Yang in her brother's defense
Ironwood sighed turning to Naruto, not helping the amount of wariness he felt after hearing what Ozpin had revealed in the Vault.
"You all seem like good students, and the staff here at Beacon are fully aware that you would never lash out the way you did... under normal circumstances. What I believe and hope this to be is nothing more than the result of stress and adrenaline. When you're out on the battlefield, your judgment can become clouded in an instant. Sometimes you see things that simply aren't there. Even after the fight is past..." Said Ironwood rolling his right shoulder where his mechanical arm was
"But I wasn't-" Naruto began
"That's ENOUGH!" Ironwood shouted as silence reigned in the room
"The sad truth is, whether it was an accident or an assault, it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student. They've already drawn their own conclusions. And it's my job to inform you that... you are disqualified." Said Ironwood
Naruto looked at him shock as the General left the room.
"You guys believe me, right?" Asked Naruto turning to his teammates
"Duh!" Ruby said
"You're hotheaded, but not ruthless… most of the time." Added Weiss
"Definitely." Yang agreed
"Blake?" Said Naruto after seeing she hadn't spoken
Blake remained silent for a moment, looking at Naruto's desperate eyes, placing a hand on her stomach where their child was growing.
"Yes, I believe you." Said Blake
Naruto smiled gratefully, before remembering something.
"Thank you all of you. I think… I think I need to be alone for a while." Naruto said opening a portal and walking through it
What Team RWBY didn't see was the murderous expression he had as he walked through the portal.
*With Emerald*
Emerald couldn't deny the joy she felt when she saw everyone booing at that bastard Branwen, being taken out of the arena by Atlas soldiers. While she personally would've enjoyed fighting the bastard to knock him down a few pegs, it was still enjoyable to get everyone to turn against him.
'Not so high and mighty now bird boy.' Thought Emerald
Suddenly before Emerald could react a portal opened in front of her and a hand shot out grabbing her throat pulling her through.
When she exited the other side, Emerald paled a little as she looked into the cold pitch black and ruby red eyes of Naruto Branwen with his hand wrapped firmly around her throat. Emerald paled further when she saw he was dangling her over a cliff! Burying the fear, she felt Emerald put on a strong front.
"You're not going to do it." Emerald taunted
"And why's that?" Said 'Naruto' narrowing his eyes
"Because you're the good guy, the hero, and you heroes don't kill, so why don't you let me go and I'll consider not going to Ironwood and telling him about this." Mocked Emerald
'Naruto' looked at her for a moment before chuckling darkly.
"Well if you insist." 'Naruto' said, Emerald smirking in victory
Though her smirk instantly vanished when 'Naruto' let go, letting her fall off the cliff.
Emerald screamed as she fell, reaching for her weapons, her eyes widened in fear when they weren't there.
'Oh god her actually dropped me, the lunatic is going to let me die!' Thought Emerald in terror she didn't want to die tears streaming from her eyes
Just as she was about to hit the ground, becoming a very messy red stain, a portal opened letting her fall through slamming into a tree when she exited.
Emerald gasped for air running her hands over her body seeing she was still alive, much to her relief. Though her relief was instantly replaced by anger, she's gonna make the bastard pay!
'Maybe start with his annoying chatterbox sister.' Thought Emerald darkly at the thought of showing the bastard his sister's mutilated corpse
"Grrrrrrrrooooooooooowwwwwwl."
Emerald froze turning around slowly she instantly paled seeing she had been dropped right in the center of dozens Grimm.
'Ni-nice Gr-Grimm." Stuttered Emerald as the Grimm pounced on her as Emerald's screams sounded throughout the forest
Though the Grimm were given specific instructions that they couldn't kill the girl, saying she belonged to the master to do with as he wished. Doesn't mean they can't leave her near death.
*With Naruto*
Naruto smirked as he exited his portal, while he would've enjoyed just letting Emerald becoming a messy stain on the ground, he wanted her to suffer, his mother's words echoing in his head.
"If you have the chance to kill your enemy take it, as they will kill you if given the chance. But if they do something against you, make them suffer."
Naruto snapped from his thoughts when he saw a head of red hair, which he recognized as Pyrrha, sitting alone outside the dining hall.
"Pyrrha!" Said Naruto running up to her and getting the huntress-in-training's attention
"Oh, Naruto hello. How are you?" Pyrrha asked with a fake smile which Naruto saw through
"I'm fine, what about you? Why're you out her alone?" Said Naruto sitting next to her
Pyrrha said nothing, worrying Naruto even more at her tormented expression.
"You know you can tell me anything right. Anything at all, if something's bothering you Pyrrha I want to help you." Naruto said
"Thank you, Naruto that means…" Began Pyrrha before her sorrow turned to surprise seeing Naruto's hand on hers and a light pink dusting appeared on her cheeks
"I mean it, anytime, anyplace, I'll be there for you because I care about you Pyrrha." Continued Naruto
Pyrrha looks at him in astonishment before smiling in contentment at him, which Naruto returns.
"Thank you." Pyrrha said lowly
Pyrrha's expression darkened again remembering the decision she had to make.
"Naruto…" Pyrrha began
"Yeah?" Said Naruto
"I don't know what to do." Whispered Pyrrha
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked frowning
"Do you believe in destiny?" Questioned Pyrrha suddenly
"Um, I don't really know, it depends on how you view it." Naruto said
"When I think of destiny, I don't think of a predetermined fate you can't escape. But rather... some sort of final goal, something you work towards your entire life." Explained Pyrrha
"Okay, yeah, I can see that." Naruto replied
"Well... what would you do if something came along that you... never expected? Something that had the potential to stand between you and your destiny?" Pyrrha asked after finding the right words
"Like what?" Said Naruto
"Or what if you could suddenly fulfill your destiny in an instant, but at the cost of who you were?" Pyrrha continued
"Pyrrha, your gonna have to tell me what's wrong because you're not making sense." Said Naruto gently
"None of it makes sense! This isn't how things were supposed to happen!" Pyrrha shouted holding herself on the verge of tears
Seeing this Naruto slowly approached her wrapping his arms around rubbing her back soothingly
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. Just please, help me understand." Said Naruto
"I've always felt as though I was destined to become a Huntress - to protect the world... (sighs) and it's become increasingly clear to me that my feelings were right. But... I don't know if I can do it. What do I do?" Pyrrha nearly begged
Naruto's eyes widened now realizing what was wrong with her, with that realization brought an unfathomable amount of anger.
'Ozpin…' Naruto thought angrily before taking a deep breath
"You're talking about becoming a Maiden aren't you." Said Naruto, Pyrrha looking up at him in shock
"Y-you knew…" Pyrrha said a little hurt
"I know of the Maidens, so does my Mom, she's the one who told me, and Uncle, I take you've already met him and the rest of the Headmaster's little group." Said Naruto, Pyrrha nodding
"So, you know that they offered me the chance to become the new Fall Maiden, but the way it would happen is… is, it's just horrible and barbaric!" Shouted Pyrrha holding her head
"Hey, hey, hey just calm down okay everything's okay, everything's okay." Naruto said soothingly
"Please just help me?!" Pyrrha cried into his shoulder, Naruto feeling more helpless than ever before
"I can't real help you with this Pyrrha, I wish could, but I can't…" Said Naruto, Pyrrha feeling even more depressed than before
When Naruto pulled away cupping her face wiping away her tears.
"… But I can tell you this, no matter what you decide I'll support your decision one hundred percent, I will always stand by your side. And if you're afraid that if you do become a Maiden that you won't be yourself anymore, I'll be there with you to remind you, that you are Pyrrha Nikos now and forever." Naruto said
Pyrrha looked at Naruto tears still falling from her eyes, before she threw her arms around him.
"Thank you, Naruto thank you." Said Pyrrha her eyes flashing blue
"Always." Naruto whispered his eyes flashing black and red
Suddenly Naruto gained an idea of how to make her feel better.
"Let me take you out." Said Naruto suddenly
"What." Pyrrha said in confusion
"Let me take you out, tonight." Naruto repeated thankful that they're putting the Vytal Festival on hold until tomorrow
"Li-like a date?" Asked Pyrrha eyes widening
"Yes, like a date. No Maidens, no secret groups, no destiny, just you and me." Said Naruto smiling
Pyrrha looked at Naruto surprised that he'd suggest such a thing, but the more she thought about it, the more the idea appealed to her before she gained a smile nodding her head.
"Alright, yes, let's do it." Pyrrha agreed
"Great, meet me outside the Ballroom in two hours, I'll have everything ready by then!" Said Naruto excitedly turning around to get everything ready
"But wait, I don't have anything to wear." Pyrrha called out only having her dress she wore to the dance
"Don't worry I'll have that solved to!" Naruto replied
Pyrrha couldn't help the smile on her face, that he was going through all this to help her.
"Oh, and Pyrrha, no more tears, a beautiful girl like you should only ever cry tears of joy, never sadness!" Said Naruto
That made Pyrrha blush, but still kept her smile, along with hearing a voice echo.
"Hey, no sad tears alright, I see you cry I want them to be tears of happiness Selene."
*Later*
Pyrrha breathe deeply as she approached the Ballroom, it was now dark out so it was completely deserted. As she approached the doors opened revealing Naruto wearing a long-sleeved black trench coat with slit sleeves, crimson tribal designs on the left side along with his dragon emblem, red on the inside with red flame-like accents at the bottom and, his trench coat is half-buttoned, exposing a crimson dress shirt with a black line running parallel to his collar under it, long black pants, and black shoes with red soles.
When Naruto saw Pyrrha, he froze up looking at her in amazement, making Pyrrha blush a little under his stare as she looked down at her dress.
The dress was virtually identical to her dress from the dance, only it was pitch black, with crimson and dark blue tribal designs running along it, forming her emblem on her right hip, and if one looked closely they'd also see that the designs bared a resemblance to Grimm. Pyrrha didn't know why but she had absolutely loved it when she first saw the dress.
"You look… perfect." Said Naruto not taking his eyes off her
"Thank you, you look nice to." Pyrrha said smiling
"So, shall we My Lady." Said Naruto
"We shall." Replied Pyrrha
Once they entered Pyrrha gasped in surprise when she saw the inside. Dozens of strands of lights hung from the ceiling, while in the center of the room was a table for two.
"Did you do all this." Pyrrha said in amazement
"Only the best for you." Said Naruto
Leading her over to the table Naruto pulled out the chair for her, like a gentleman.
"Did you make this?" Asked Pyrrha looking at the food on the table
"Uh, yeah actually I did, how is it?" Naruto questioned wanting to know what she thought of it
"It's amazing, I had no idea you could cook." Said Pyrrha after taking a bite
"Yeah, it's something I learned when I was younger." Naruto responded, Pyrrha nodding
They made small talk, Naruto occasionally telling her stories from his childhood. They soon finished their meal as Pyrrha rose from her seat.
"Thank you this was a lovely time." Said Pyrrha, Naruto smirking as he got up
"Who said it over?" Naruto asked rhetorically pulling out his scroll as music began playing from the speakers around the room while the lights flickered in tune with the song
(ENGLISH "Wishing" Re: Zero (Akane Sasu Sora))
"May I have this dance My Lady." Said Naruto smiling with his hand held out
"You may." Pyrrha taking his hand returning his smile
Naruto placed his left hand on her waist while Pyrrha had her right hand on his shoulder and their hands were held.
Naruto and Pyrrha danced around the room smiling at each other, neither noticing or caring as Pyrrha's eyes turned sapphire blue while Naruto's sclerae turned black.
Everything around the two soon disappeared neither of two caring about their surroundings, all their attention focused solely on the other.
Neither noticing when the song ending as they gazed into each other's eyes as they began to lean in closer to each other. But before their lips could meet Naruto pulled away making Pyrrha frown.
"What's wrong?" Asked Pyrrha quietly feeling hurt that he pulled away
"There's… something I need to show." Said Naruto as he began unravelling the bandages on his right arm
When they were completely unraveled Pyrrha gasped covering her mouth seeing his mutated arm.
"That's not all." Naruto said taking his trench coat off and following with shirt
Pyrrha was confused and shocked when she saw the holster Naruto had on, even more so when he took it off as his wings unfolded themselves.
"Na-Naruto." Said Pyrrha hesitantly taking a step toward him
"Go ahead freak out, scream, run away." Naruto said thinking she'd be terrified of him now
"Why would I do that?" Pyrrha asked
"Because look at me, I look a damn Grimm! A monster! You should be scared of me!" Said Naruto letting out all the pain, suffering, and anger he's been feeling ever since his… mutation
Pyrrha frowned as she walked up to Naruto who looked away refusing to meet her eyes, before she did something surprising. She slapped her hand onto his cheek, making him finally look into her blue eyes.
"Don't ever call yourself monster again! You're not a monster, I know you're not. No matter what anyone says about you it will never change how I feel about you. I don't care about who you are, or what you've done. I care about you, and nothing and no one will ever change the fact that I love you." 'Pyrrha' said gently, while Naruto's eyes stared at her in amazement
"Selene." Whispered 'Naruto' grabbing the hand on her cheek with his right hand
'Pyrrha' smiled at him nodding.
"It's me Kurogami." 'Pyrrha' replied
'Naruto' could only look at her with wide hopeful eyes that soon filled with tears.
"You're really here." 'Naruto' said, 'Pyrrha' nodding pulling his head to her shoulder
"I'm really here, this is real, I'm real." Replied 'Pyrrha'
That did it for 'Naruto' as his legs gave out beneath him as he fell to his knees tears freely falling from his eyes as he held her close to him. 'Pyrrha' merely comforted him, before remembering something that would help, as she began humming before singing a song special to them both.
You fascinated me
Cloaked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel
I ventured carefully
Afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled
You take me by the hand
I question who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
My memory refused
To separate the lies from truth
And search the past
My mind created
I kept on pushing through
Standing resolute which you
In equal measure
Loved and hated
You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
Lies a warrior...
You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
The pictures come to life
Wake in the dead of night
Open my eyes
I must be dreaming
Clutch my pillow tight
Brace myself for the fight
I've heard that seeing
Is believing
"You still remember that song." 'Pyrrha' said
"I could never forget it, or your voice when sang it." Responded 'Naruto' getting to his feet
'Naruto' gazed into her eyes before leaning down and claiming her lips with his own, 'Pyrrha' responding almost immediately. They remained like that until the need for air became too great, as they pulled away their foreheads still touching.
"You have no idea how long I've waited to kiss you again." 'Naruto' whispered, 'Pyrrha' giggling a little
"Well you don't have to wait any longer, because I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." Replied 'Pyrrha'
"Good because I'm never letting you go again." Said 'Naruto' holding her close
"Never." 'Pyrrha' agreed
*Later-Headmaster's Office*
Ozpin sighed looking at Ironwood, with Qrow and Goodwitch off to the side. They've been discussing the events following Naruto's match against Mercury, along with the increase of Grimm.
Suddenly the office doors exploded inward shocking the four adults. When the smoke cleared it showed 'Naruto' standing there with his arm and wings revealed a demented expression on his face, a far cry from the kind and caring look he gave 'Pyrrha' mere hours ago.
"Knock, knock." 'Naruto' said mockingly
Before Ironwood, Goodwitch, or Qrow could react or draw their weapons 'Naruto' waved his hand throwing them against the wall where they were stuck while 'Naruto' approached Ozpin, eyes filled with bloodlust.
Ozpin sat frozen as he locked eyes with Naruto, every fiber of his being told him to run, run as fast and as far as he could, but he remained frozen.
"You just don't learn, do you?" Naruto said handing shooting out and grabbing Ozpin by his throat
Lifting him to the air Naruto slammed Ozpin into the window breaking it and dangling him out it.
"I warned you the first time, that Selene belongs to me, I have butchered anyone who has ever touched her except you, because I want you to suffer more than a simple death. But you clearly haven't learned if you dared to think to turn her into a Maiden." 'Naruto' growled, Ozpin gasping for air
"I-I'm so-sorry, I-I didn't kn-know Mi-Miss Nikos was Se-" Ozpin was cut off when 'Naruto' increased the pressure on his throat
"DO NOT SAY HER NAME!" Roared 'Naruto'
Pulling Ozpin into the Office 'Naruto's threw him against the wall standing over him.
"I warned the Winter Maiden that if anything happened to Selene there would be war. Congratulations, as of this moment I declare war on all of humanity, and it's all your fault." 'Naruto' said mockingly, Ozpin staring at him in shock and despair
'Naruto' then rounded on Ironwood stalking towards him.
"You, your men pointed their guns at me keeping me from my prey, that's strike one. You dared to order me to do anything, that's strike two. And three you tried to keep my child from me, that's strike three. I'd kill you now, but I believe someone's already marked you as their prey." Said 'Naruto' slicing open Ironwood's sleeve showing his robotic arm along with a black hydra
"And you." 'Naruto' began turning to Qrow
"I can sense your hatred for me and for my host, you hate us because of that little incident with the now very dead Spring Maiden. Along with your brutalization at the hands of Despair." Said 'Naruto', Qrow not saying anything but glaring at him
"Well then I've made my point, and delivered my message, so I'll be on my way. But know this the next time we meet I will be at full power and I will kill every living creature on this planet." 'Naruto' said walking towards the doors but stopped raising a hand
"Oh, but before I go, you should know the Seasons are coming to an end." Said 'Naruto' exiting the office
Once he was out of sight Ironwood, Qrow, and Goodwitch fell to the ground panting when Ironwood's Scroll rang.
"What?!" Growled Ironwood not in the mood
"Uh sir, we just got reports of a massive army of Grimm, all heading straight for Beacon." The soldier said, Ironwood's eyes widening at that
*Next Afternoon*
Naruto sighed walking around Beacon, Pyrrha's match against Penny had just been announced. He would've liked to be there to support Pyrrha, but considering everyone still believed he "unjustly" attacked Mercury he doubts it'd be good if anyone saw him.
"Hello." A voice spoke stopping Naruto in his tracks
Looking forward Naruto frowned when he saw a person wearing a full body hooded cloak suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Uh, hello. Who are you?" Questioned Naruto, with the person remaining silent for a moment before speaking again
"My apologies for this Master." Said the person
This set Naruto on edge but before he could react he felt someone appear behind grabbing him in a full nelson, which he instantly began struggling against.
"Oooohoohoohoohoo! Just relax Master, trust me you'll thank us for this later!" The person holding Naruto spoke in a crazed multi layered voice
Naruto struggled against the hold but whoever was restraining was strong, while the person in the front walked to Naruto taking something out of his cloak, a black sphere with a pulsing red light. Naruto didn't know what it was but he wanted none of it.
"It's time for your awakening Master." The person said
Before Naruto could react, the person slammed the orb into his chest where it was absorbed along with knocking him out. The first person picked up Naruto's limp body throwing over his shoulder as two more people joined the first two.
"Once we arrive the humans shall Hunger for death." The fourth said
"We shall unleash Devastation on the Kingdoms." The third continued
"Drive them to the deepest pits of Madness." Added the second
"Until all that is left is true Despair." The first finished
*With Ruby*
Ruby runs through the halls of the Colosseum trying to get to the arena and avoiding Mercury pursuing her. She needed to stop the match between Pyrrha and Penny before one of them gets hurt, she finally realized that someone had messed with Naruto's head making him attack Mercury and the same was going to happen to Pyrrha or Penny.
Rounding a corner into the arena Ruby instantly stopped eyes widening at what she saw. Penny ripped to pieces revealing to everyone she's a robot, while Pyrrha looked horrified at what she's done.
"Penny…" Ruby choked out falling to her knees as tears fell from her eyes
Mercury rounded the corner grinning at managing to delay Ruby, neither noticing the small black firefly flying away from Ruby glowing silver.
"Broadcast, what are you doing? Kill the feed!" Order Oobleck
"Something's wrong! We don't have control of the cameras! We can't even stop the broadcast!"
"What!? How is that possible!?" Oobleck demanded
As if in response the background behind the two teachers changes to the video feed of the sight before them, tinted an ominous bright red with a black queen chess piece hovering over the scene. They turn back to the arena as a familiar voice rings out throughout the Colosseum and the rest of the world watching these events.
"This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians, but are, in reality, nothing more than men. Our Academies' Headmasters wield more power than most armies, and one was audacious enough to control both." Said Cinder smirking from her location when suddenly…
"Grrrrrrrrooooooooooowwwwwwl."
Cinder whirled around eye's widening seeing several Beowolves stalking towards her.
'What! No, it's too early, what're they doing?!' Cinder thought now seeing hundreds of Grimm already attacking Vale
"Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: Ten. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner." Came the warning announcement
In the arena, the shadows began moving on their own moving around Pyrrha before rising revealing the four figures and the unconscious Naruto.
"Na-Naruto." Pyrrha stuttered seeing him being held by the stranger
"Don't worry Mistress, Master is fine he's just awakening." Said the fourth person in a female voice
With the fours strangers appearance Ironwood along with two other people grabbed their arms as black marks glowed on them.
The person holding Naruto placed him on the ground before turning his attention to the audience.
"People of Remnant, for too long you have lived ignorance, believing yourselves safe behind your walls, that the Grimm were the only things you had to fear. We are here to show you the Grimm are not what you should fear, he is." The person said motioning to the still unconscious Naruto
"This boy, he is what you shall come to fear in the coming days. For he is more than just a mere human, he is the creator of all Grimm, he is our Master, we are his Emperors of Destruction. He is the God of Darkness, Kurogami." Finished the person
With that the four beings removed their cloaks revealing their forms to everyone who stared in shock and horror.
The first was a slender, yet fairly muscular, man of average height with a melancholic appearance, he had fairly short, messy black hair, pale white skin, a black upper lip, and red eyes with small slit-shaped pupils, part of his bangs fall between his eyes, and he has distinctively thick eyebrows, he has red lines which descend from the lower part of his eyes, he wore a black jacket, a white sash, and a black hakama, his jacket has long coattails and the collar is high. This was the Emperor Despair.
The second was a young male teen with long wispy black hair, red eyes with slit pupils, wearing a form fitting black body suit, and lines going across his body, and a manic expression on his face. This was the Emperor Madness.
The third was a middle-aged man with a gaunt expression similar to a skull black hair and pure reddish-orange eyes, caring a silver skull topped cane, wearing a dark suit and a long black topcoat. This was the Emperor Devastation.
The final member and only female was a young girl with short black hair kept in three locks, red eyes with slit pupils gazing around hungrily, a shark-like grin on her face showing off rows of razor sharp teeth, wearing a female variant and more revealing version of Despairs attire. This was the Emperor Hunger.
Naruto chose that moment to wake up groaning.
"Naruto!" Said Pyrrha about to run over to him but was held back Hunger
"Just wait a moment longer Mistress, you're all about to see something neat." Hunger said in barely restrained excitement
"Py-Pyrrha." Naruto said trying to stand up but fell to one knee gripping his chest.
"What did you to him?!" Said Pyrrha
"We helped him." Despair said simply not taking his eyes off Naruto
Naruto, now on his hands and knees, gritted his teeth in pain, it felt like his entire body was on fire. The bandages covering his right arm seemed to melt away revealing his arm to everyone's horror. Which only increased when his wings tore out of their restraints.
No one could do anything but watch as Naruto transformed before everyone's eyes, his body becoming more Grimm-like, while ten more wings emerged from his back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto screamed in pain
Soon the transformation was finished as 'Naruto' was on his knees panting and growling now looking like a miniature Grimm dragon with twelve Nevermore wings.
"Is it over?" Said Pyrrha
"No." Devastation said
'Naruto' threw his head back roaring as a white clay like substance began appearing out of his eyes and mouth covering his entire body. The "clay" began taking form around his body hardening into demonic white bone armor, when it reached his head it formed a skull-like mask with four spike-shaped marks, two of them stopping by the forehead and the other two stretching past the eyes and teeth, small marks resembling a heart, but with the top and bottom open, extending from the inner corners of his eyes, the mask features two long forward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their center towards the tips.
With the transformation complete 'Naruto' stood to his full height his twelve wings unfurling behind as he took deep raspy breaths
"Naruto." Pyrrha said fearfully
Rather than responding 'Naruto' held out his hand as his sword came flying out of his locker and into his hand, gripping the blade Naruto swung it uplifting the ground behind him. But he wasn't finished as he held the sword out as it was enveloped in a black glow as it transformed into a double demonic bladed scythe, with both blades on opposite ends and sides.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" 'Naruto' roared shaking the very Colosseum
Meanwhile the four Emperor's kneeled before their master their eyes glowing maliciously, as hundreds of Grimm attacked Vale and Beacon.
"Bring them to their knees." Despair ordered
This was the beginning of the end.
So, what did you all think of that. The fight, Naruto's revenge, the date with Pyrrha, and the appearance of the Emperors! Now I'm sure a lot of you have questions but first let me clear some things the Emperor's appearance are based off characters from different shows, Despair I'm sure some have guessed is based on Ulquiorra from Bleach, Madness is based on Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Devastation is based on Death from Supernatural, and Hunger is based on Tier from Bleach. Naruto's armor is the Daedric armor from Skyrim and his mask is Ichigo's evolved Hollow Mask, everything cleared up? Okay, good. Now then let's movie onto what some of you like want to see, the Chibi Omake.
Omake: Cookie Wars
Krystal, wearing a smaller version of her mother's uniform, marched in a line before turning to her soldiers with a serious expression.
Or as serious as a three-year-old could muster.
"Men, this mission is of the utmost importance, the objective must be completed at all cost, though the enemy is tough have no fear for I know if we work together we shall triumph!" Said Krystal grinning at her men
Her men being a group of tiny Beowolves looking around or scratching their ears, when they saw looking they sat up straight saluting.
Later Krystal along with her Beowolves are seen sitting on the counter devouring a plate of cookies, while Ruby once again tied up cries anime tears at the loss of her cookies once again.
"How can you be so cruel!" Ruby wailed
Krystal merely turned to her aunt with a large smile.
"Daddy taught me how to capture the cookies." Said Krystal purposefully eating a cookie in front of Ruby slowly, only increasing the girls wailing
Watching the scene was Naruto and Winter, Naruto smiling proudly at his daughter and Winter shaking her head acceptance.
"Like father, like daughter." Winter muttered
Alright there you go, Krystal obviously take after her father. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
