Chapter 10 - New Arrival
Rock Lee gasped in surprise. 'It cannot be… he sounds oddly young, though.' Everybody turned around, keeping their guns pointed at the new entrance. He stood casually, letting out a tired sigh before stretching his arms. Cinder mimicked the action. He opened his eyes and spoke.
"Maybe you should be less concerned about me…"
I'd implore you to play "Fake" from the Naruto OST.
One man dropped.
Two men dropped.
Then it was three.
Multiple people began to fall to the ground, amassing panic all around. Even with the enhanced senses of some of the faunus, there was no way to know where these silent attackers were.
"And more concerned about who resides in your ranks." Shots were fired off in random directions as confusion spread. Few shots hit, and even fewer hit the correct person. For every one puff of smoke, about three people bled out. This wasn't good. Rock Lee took the chance to begin dwindling away at Cinder's forces.
He jumped high, clotheslining two people as he came down. He used their bodies as projectiles, throwing them around at oncoming gunmen. He dodged their bullets and began to let loose a series of kicks, spinning and jumping around with expertise far beyond his years. He made sure to not use his injured leg. They dogpiled on him in an attempt to slow him down, but he simply spun around, generating a powerful current. By the end of it, Cinder's men had been dwindled to less than half of their original number.
"How… how?! Everything was perfect!" Her aura flared up as she attempted to move, yet she could do no such thing.
"Jeez, so damn feisty. I don't know if I'll be able to keep this up for much longer…"
"Just hold on for a bit, Shikamaru! I have a plan!" Lee said as he weaved through the gunmen. Some of them didn't have aura, which was evident by the cracking of their bones as he struck. After rendering most of them useless, he began to run over to Cinder.
"Release it now!" Shikamaru released his Shadow Possession Jutsu, just before Rock Lee launched a devastating kick to her midsection.
Primary Lotus
He followed her closely as she sailed high into the air, binding her tightly with his bandages. They spun vertically, now facing downwards, before spiralling to the ground.
"Attack!" He yelled, jumping away prematurely. Shikamaru got to work. He began to weave hand-signs together, and the sound of rushing waves filled up the abandoned building.
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique
Water began to form within the building reaching a few meters in height. Cinder burned through her restraints, setting her sights on the newcomer.
"AAARRRRGHHH!" She yelled with inhuman fury, channeling her powers to eviscerate him. Just before she could release her power, the waves came crashing down, having reached their apex in height. She was completely submerged in water. There was no possible means of escape. All she could do was squirm and shake as she drowned in the flowing waters. Many unfortunate gunmen were swept up and flung about in the violent waters as they crashed into the walls, caving them in.
Rock Lee watched in awe at the sight, before quickly realising what it meant for him. He ran up the walls towards the exit, dragging Shikamaru with him as he ran.
The building almost fell in on itself before the water flowed out onto the docks, and into the sea. The commotion most definitely alerted quite a few people, but that was at the back of the two's minds. They escaped with haste, jumping over buildings as they tried to get as far away as possible. 'What was that?!' Rock Lee questioned in awe.
"The Great Waterfall Technique." He responded, panting."I used the water from the sea and groundwater to drown the place in a massive waterfall of sorts. Took lots of practice, but I realised I couldn't just laze around when I came here." He suddenly stopped, crouching down on a roof to catch his breath.
"That must have taken up a lot of Chakra. Should we rest a bit?" Rock Lee knelt down to help Shikamaru.
"I have an apartment, just east of here. We can rest there and discuss some things, like just who that woman was, and how you got here." Shikamaru got up, and began to travel in east, followed closely by Rock Lee.
- Ozpin's Office-
"Rock Lee" Walked into Ozpin's office, trying to act as naturally as possible. "Hello, Ozpin!" He barked out.
"Good day, Rock Lee. What brings you to my office?"
"I believe that I have found a lead on the White Fang. I am under the impression that it will be crucial to stopping their recent string of activity."
"I see."
"I would like to request a few days absence in order to do some digging of my own!"
"Mhm, mhm. Would you like any accompaniment?"
"No Oz, I'm fine." 'Shit!' The raised eyebrow all but confirmed that he had heard the slip up. A sudden pressure filled the room, causing "Rock Lee" to become even more nervous.
"Okay then. Just wait here while I input that on the system." Pushing a button on his desk, a laptop popped up out of it. He began to type while "Rock Lee" stood there nervously. After what seemed like an eternity, he finished. Pushing down a button, the laptop folded back into the desk.
"There will be a Bullhead waiting for you at the docking station. Just tell it where you want to be dropped off."
"Thank you!" The fake walked out of the room, a bit too hurriedly. After a few minutes, Ozpin began to speak to himself.
"Either something's really thrown him off, or I need to tighten my security. These people are making bold moves." He reached for his coffee, only to find his mug empty. He groaned, realising he'd have to buy some more. He rubbed his sleep-deprived eyes. 'Wherever you are right now, I hope you haven't had it too bad.'
AN: This chapter is really short, I know. But I have an important announcement to make.
I'm going to be going through the chapters and rewriting/adjusting them to make them a lot better. Just generally beefing them up, explaining a few points in more detail, adding in/removing stuff wherever I see fit, etc. I won't be posting a new chapter next week, but I will post one the week after.
15/06/19 - All the major changes should be about done.
