Chapter 10: Ruby vs. Emi
On their way to respond to their first quest outside of the guild, Ruby and her friends were attack by members of the dark guild known as Nightwing. Team RWBY had their back against the wall due to the dark wizards' magic. As the huntresses were on the edge of being defeated, they've unlocked a unique magic power inside of them.
Then a gold circle opened up underneath Yang and engulfs her in golden flames. Suzuki widens her eyes as Yang slowly got back to her feet. She couldn't move and fear filled her body. "What?! What the hell is this?!" She slowly started to back away from Yang.
"Ember Celica: Burning Fang!" Yang shouted, punching Suzuki in the gut with flaming fist. Suzuki yelled in pain as the golden flames engulfed her body and she was send crashing through a wall. The flame died down and revealed Suzuki lying on the ground unconscious.
"What the…" Kotori said shocked. "What's going on?!" Her eyes widen when the ice that covered Weiss shattered into pieces, releasing the heiress from her icy cocoon. "There's no way…" Then black snow started to surround itself around Weiss as the heiress looked at Kotori with a fierce glare on her face. Kotori's shocked expression turned into one of anger as she prepares attack again. "Ice Dragon's Roar!" Kotori fired another powerful stream of snow and ice at Weiss. This time, Weiss didn't dodge the attack but she stood her ground as she took the attack head on. Weiss opened her mouth and ate the snow and ice from the attack. "What?!" Kotori widen her eyes as her ice was being devoured by her opponent.
Weiss opened her mouth again and fired a blast of black ice and snow at Kotori. Kotori cried in pain as she hit by Weiss' attack. 'Impossible…she has that type of slayer magic. God Slayer Magic…' Kotori fell to the ground and loss consciousness.
'It's getting to harder to breathe.' Blake thought. 'I need to get out of here. I have to stop him.' Then Blake's body started to glow as well as her weapon. 'What the…what's going on?' The glow started to radiate outside of the air ball, getting Gray and Kono's attention.
"What's happening?" Kono questioned. The glow died down and the air ball was dispersed. Kono widen his eyes at what happened to his air ball and the person who destroyed it. It was the faunus that he tried to suffocate, Blake, but her attire and weapon are different that what she had before.
Kono's eyes widen as his air ball was destroyed and Blake's appearance changed. Blake's eye became more like a feline as a black tail appeared on her back. Her hair grew longer as the cat ears she hid under her bow spouted out. And her hands changed to that of animal claws. Kono's shocked expression changed back to a calm one. "My, my, what an unusual set of circumstances." He said. "I assume that is the Take Over magic I heard about."
'Is that Take Over magic?' Gray thought, looking at Blake. 'I've never anyone other than Mirajane, Elfman, and Lissanna used that type of magic.'
Blake looked down at her body and saw the changes to it. 'What happened to my body?' she thought. She put her hand on her head and noticed that her bow was gone. 'My bow…what happened to it?!'
"No matter…" Kono said, putting his blade near the last metal band on his arm and cut it off. "You won't live long enough to test it out. Now I'm at the level of a guild master! Prepare to feel a guild master's power!" He pointed his sword at the transformed faunus. "Gale Force… Canon de Presion!" Kono fired a powerful form of his Pressure Cannon at Blake, destroying the area behind her. The smoke cleared and the destroyed part of the forest but Blake was nowhere to be found. Kono started to laugh, thinking that he killed her. "Will you look at that?! I blew her away!"
"Not quite…" A familiar voice said, behind Kono. Kono looked behind his shoulder only to be punched in the face by the faunus and send crashing through a tree.
Emi disappear again as Ruby got back to her feet, trying to find the wizard. "Ok, where would she attack from?" Ruby said, looking around for Emi. Then Ruby felt something hit her in the back, "Behind…" Ruby looked behind her shoulder and hit something hit her right hip. "From the right…." She turned her right and something hit her back. "The left…" She turned to the left and felt something hitting her back again.
"It's useless. My speed can't be tracked by the human eye. Now take this, Twin Accel…Sound Palms!" Four magic circles opened up around Ruby and sound waves hit her all directions, creating an explosion. Emi appeared in front of the smoke with a smirk on her face. "Now do you see? There one man that can match speed. But from the look of things, I may have surpassed even him." The smoke cleared and revealed Ruby still on her feet but showing the damage that Emi's attack did on her. 'No way…she withstood all of that and is still standing?'
"I don't care how fast you are." Ruby said. "I don't care how strong to you are? I will defeat you. So until this battle is done, I won't fall until one of us is down for good." Emi looked at Ruby with widen eyes. Then a small chuckle escaped her lips and it turned to a full blown laugh. "What's so funny?"
"'Until one of us is down for good?'" Emi repeated. "What a bold declaration for a little girl like you, considering the state that you're in. And yet, you still think that you have a chance for defeating me. Well, let's change that shall we? Twin Acceleration!" Emi used her magic again and disappeared from Ruby's sight again. This time, Ruby didn't look around to find out where Emi would strike from. She closed her eyes, trying to sense where the wizard would attack from.
Ruby swung her scythe in front of her, thinking that she hit Emi but she hit an afterimage of the wizard. The real Emi appeared behind Ruby, ready to attack but she was hit by the pole of Ruby's scythe. 'What?!' Emi thought in shock. She tried to attack from another blind spot but Ruby quickly blocked it again. 'This is impossible! How is she keeping up with my Twin Acceleration?!' Emi looked at Ruby and that her eyes were closed. 'I get it. She couldn't follow me her eyes so she's using her other senses to find me. It's not going to be enough.'
"Twin Accel: Sound Palms!" Multiple Emis appeared around the red-hooded huntress, surrounding her. Ruby quickly used her semblance and disappeared in a flurry of rose petals as an explosion erupted. The smoke cleared and revealed that Ruby wasn't there anymore. Ruby appeared behind Emi and charged towards the wizards. Emi turned around only kicked in the face and stumbled back. Ruby pressed on the advantage and continued her charged.
"Now I got you!" Ruby shouted, swinging her scythe at Emi. As the point of the scythe touched Emi's body, a gray aura appeared around Emi and stopped the scythe from piercing her body. Ruby's eyes widen in shock. "W…What?! That's…"
Emi smirked as she put her palm near Ruby. "Sound Palm!" Ruby was pushed back several by the sound wave coming from her palm. "What's the matter? You look shocked about what just happened. That's surprising, considering where you and I come from."
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on, you haven't figured it out. How could a wizard like me use my aura to protect myself your attack? It's quite simple really. It's because I'm not from Earth Land. I'm from Remnant just like you and my semblance is sound."
