A/N: WARNING! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ CHAPTER 1-9, DO SO NOW SO YOU'LL BE CAUGHT UP WITH THE STORY. DON'T WORRY I'LL WAIT...
... READ THE CHAPTER? ALRIGHT THEN LETS GET STARTED WITH THE ACTUAL AUTHOR'S NOTES!
As I said in Chapter 5, IT'S FINALLY FINISHED! Alright, I'll be straight with you guys on what really happened behind the delays.
Reasons why it was delayed:
1) God this was easily my biggest chapter by far; nearly 13K words! That warranted a delayed update until last Thursday, the chapter was very large with all its reveals and fights. Note: Yes I said "reveals" which means you will learn something new in this story's development.
2) So I said in reason one that it was delayed until Thursday, right? Well it turns out I started to feel sick around Wednesday and got worse overnight. Yeah, that forced me to hold off until now. *Sigh* Like I said before, Life just loves to throw a monkey wrench into my plans.
But enough about that. You guys want to get to the conclusion of the Volume 1 arc! Let me just leave you with a few warnings:
1) As I previously stated in the end of the previous chapter, Cooler's Subordinates AREN'T his Armored Squadron. Reasons why are included in the previous chapter's AN at the end.
2) Weiss will act a little OOC or a bit more closer to her Volume 4+ counter part (you decide).
3) If this chapter seems a bit weird, don't worry about it, I'm constantly looking to update previous chapters with improvements where needed. I just couldn't keep this from you guys any longer.

As the theme starts to build up to the first lyrics, several words appeared in a black background, stating:
Dragon of Beacon presents
Shortly after, the words and the black background faded to show a figure with a red cape and hood on a cliffside with the full moon above the person; their cape billowing in the wind and as it did, the end of their cape had rose petals flying out of it. The next shot revealed the figure to be a girl who was wearing black and red clothing beneath the hood and was kneeling in front of a gravestone.
They see you as small and helpless
They see you as just a child
As the lyrics began, the girl soon looked up to see that behind the grave was a figure wearing a white hood and cape whose billowing cape was turning into rose petals at the end and another girl with long raven colored hair, wearing a white shirt underneath her simple blue Gi with a matching blue skirt. However it was soon revealed that there was no one underneath the white hood and cape as if there was a ghost while the girl in blue was merely transparent.
Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild
The white hood and cape then faded away into rose petals while the girl in blue simply disappeared, floating past the girl in the red hood who continued to look at where the figures were. The final shot showed that the moon was also turning into rose petals before the screen went white.
Prepare for your greatest moment
On the first "Prepare", the red-hooded girl then dashed across the screen in a blur leaving behind rose petals, which in turn revealed the title of the series.
Dragon Ball RWBYverse
Prepare for your finest hour
On the second "prepare", the title faded away to show Weiss, who was currently under a spotlight.
The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower
The scene quickly changed to show Blake on a tree branch somewhere in the Forest of Forever Fall. Moments later she vanished but in her place was a white outline of a mask very familiar to her; once more the scene changed to show Yang looking at an image on her scroll before she looks up in determination. She was then seen revving up her motorcycle, Bumblebee, doing a quick 180 and leaving in hurry as she does a wheelie, leaving behind tire smoke causing the screen to fade to white.
We are lightning
As the next set of lyrics begin, a Nevermore flies over an army of various Grimm before the scene changes again on the lyric "lightning" to reveal Roman Torchwick with a bunch of black suited henchmen behind him before the scene caught fire as it faded away.
Straying from the thunder
We go through the fire to reveal a woman in red dress whose face is hidden by shadows with her Amber eyes clearly visible; she was flanked by four silhouettes. One was a young man, another a young woman, while another was of a taller muscular man, and the last being another young woman with some kind of staff.
Miracles of ancient wonder
The scene changed once more to reveal that the first girl from earlier was Ruby who was currently flanked by Weiss, Blake, and Yang and all of them were surrounded by Grimm while a large sphere of darkness hovered above them.
This will be the day we've waited for
As the first part of the chorus begins, Ruby turned around before she moved to block some kind of attack; the sphere of darkness crashed down from above, causing a powerful shockwave and forcing Weiss, Blake and Yang to dodge and move toward Ruby. The four quickly recovered before the girl in the blue Gi joined them, revealing herself to be Manami Aoi, as she dropped down from above and dashed toward the incoming darkness with the four girls quickly joining her.
This will be the day we open up the door
The scene then changed once again, showing a large statue in the middle of a courtyard which depicts a Huntsman and Huntress with a young man with blonde hair wearing some armor looking up at the statue.
I don't wanna hear your absolution
The young man was soon revealed to be Jaune before a hand was then placed on his shoulder before he looked to his left to see Pyrrha.
Hope you're ready for a revolution
The scene reveals Ren and Nora standing next to him before it changed once again.
Welcome to a world of new solutions
Welcome to a world of bloody evolution
The next scene started to pan out to reveal Professors Ozpin and Goodwitch on the bow of a transport class airship joined by Manami Aoi who is leaning on the safety rail.
In time
The shot then fades to show a black background with Ruby and her red rose emblem behind her, followed by Weiss brandishing her rapier, Myrtenaster, with her elegant snowflake emblem behind her.
Your heart will open minds
Next was Blake preparing to unsheathe her weapon, Gambol Shroud, with her black flower emblem behind her.
A story will be told
She was quickly followed by Yang and her burning heart emblem, finishing off with Manami opening her eyes as she stops meditating with her emblem of a blue four-star dragon ball behind her.
And victory is in a simple soul
The scene changes one last time to show the entrance of Beacon Academy with Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch in front of the doors; the camera pans outward to Jaune sheepishly scratching his head, Pyrrha with her weapon Miló on her shoulder, Nora being her carefree self with Ren close by. Yang was shown to be standing confidently and winking, Blake on guard with her hand on the handle on Gambol Shroud, and Weiss standing with her hand on Myrtenaster's guard. The final shot is of Ruby twirling Crescent Rose and Manami twirling her sword, R-Blade, before slamming it into the ground fading into a black background; in between the two girls and their weapons was once again the title of the series before completely fading to black.

Chapter 10: History's Cold Reminder! Black and White.
It's been a day and a half since Blake ran from Beacon Academy and met Sun, properly, for the first time; little did Blake know that the Saiyan of Remnant was keeping her eye on her during her time away from Beacon. Manami shadowed them for a while and kept close whenever they stopped so she could listen in on their conversations. Unfortunately, Blake had done nothing but kept quiet most of the time; right now, they were at a café, drinking tea while Manami was close by on the roof. Blake took a sip of her tea with Sun doing the same before she broke the silence, "So. You wanna know more about me."
Sun exclaimed as he threw his arms up, "Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks."
Blake then went from her neutral expression to an annoyed scowl, to which Sun comments, "Yeah! Like that."
The Saiyan, who was hopeful about learning something about the now revealed Cat Faunus, rolled her eyes at Sun's statement, thinking, "She's only giving you a weird look because you are being rude and blunt…"
Blake unknowingly mirrored Manami before asking, "Sun… are you familiar with the White Fang?"
The Monkey Faunus answers, "Of course! I don't think there's a faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks if you ask me."
Blake took another sip of her tea before she said, "I was… once a member of the White Fang."
Sun was drinking his tea as heard this, so once he processed this info bomb, his eyes widened in shock for a split-second before he started to cough in surprise. When he was done he repeated in shock, "Wait a minute, 'you' were a member of the White Fang?"
Blake began her explanation, "That's right. I was a member for most of my life. You could almost say I was born into it."
"Huh, so that's why she was passionate about the White Fang," Manami thought; but as Manami and Sun listened further to Blake's tale, they learned that it was only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Blake went on to say that even after the Faunus Rights Revolution, faunus everywhere were still met with discrimination and hate. The White Fang in turn, tried to make things better through peaceful solutions via rallies and boycotts, which Blake was a part of. But things got took a dark turn when the Cat Faunus explained that five years ago, one year before Manami disappeared, the leader stepped down and a more violent one took his place. Instead of rallies and boycotts, the new leader launched organized attacks on shops and companies that saw faunus as lesser beings. Because of this faunus were being treated like equals, but only out of fear. This eventually caused Blake to leave and try to make amends for her actions during her time in the White Fang. By the end of Blake's story, Manami had sympathies for Blake, but also held anger at actions of both the humans' actions and those of the faunus. Sun also had sympathies for Blake, but he was more composed, enough to ask Blake, "So… have you told your friends any of this?"
Manami took this as a cue to make her entrance; she hopped off the roof and descended. When she landed near the two, Blake was surprised while Sun smiled lightly; the Saiyan crossed her arms and answered the question for the Cat Faunus, "No, but she really should've before she got herself into this mess…"
Meanwhile on the otherside of Vale…
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang were walking down a street looking for Blake and Manami. Unfortunately, they were having no luck whatsoever.
"Blaaake! Ana!" Ruby shouted.
Yang followed her leader's example, "Sis!? Blaaake!?"
"Where are you guys!?" Ruby yelled.
"Blake!" Yang shouted one more time. Ruby on the other hand turned to Weiss and complained, "Urgh, Weiss you're not helping."
Weiss, however, was not listening as she was in deep thought, her head hung low; Ruby partner noticed this prompting her to place a hand on the Ice Queen's shoulder while asking, "Hey, Weiss, are you okay?"
The Schnee Heiress looked up at Ruby with eyes full of guilt, answering, "No, I'm not fine Ruby, your sister brought up evidence that I'm a poor huntress-in-training."
"What're you talking about? You're a great huntress-in-training!" Ruby respond.
Weiss was on the verge of tears; with a heavy heart, she counters "Am I Ruby? Because all I've done is spout racism and hatred toward the entire Faunus race, grouped them into one despicable category, and pushed away our teammate who turned out to be a Faunus!"
"Weiss…" Yang said, but couldn't find the words to comfort the poor girl.
The Schnee Heiress continued to vent as tears started dripping down her face, "It's like Manami said, Jaune's a better person and huntsman-in-training than I am. A Huntsman or Huntress should help others regardless of who they are because it is the right thing to do."
Ruby remained silent as listen to what her partner is saying; Weiss, now at her breaking point, shouted "If I can't learn to put aside my differences between me and the Faunus, then how am I supposed to help them and so many others in need!? How can I repair the rift I've created in our team!?"
It was here that Weiss broke down in tears, falling to her knees, showing a side that no one expected to see; Yang then walked up to the heiress, knelt down and hugged her, lending Weiss her shoulder to cry on. She then turned to Ruby and said in a motherly tone, "You go on ahead Ruby, I'll take care of Weiss."
Ruby nodded but still held a concerned look for her partner. As much as she wanted to help, this was Yang's territory; she knew better when it came to comforting people. With a sigh, she walked off to find both Manami and Blake; unfortunately, the results were still fruitless. After a few minutes, Ruby muttered to herself, "For the love of Oum, where are they?"
Just then a familiar voice from behind her asked, "Where are who?"
Ruby shrieked as she jumped, turning around to see who said that; instantly recognizing who it was, she yelled irritably, "Penny! Where did you come from!?"
"Hey Ruby, what are you up to?" the awkward orangette asked.
Ruby sighed, "I'm looking for Blake and my sister, Ana."
To which Penny replies, "Oh you mean the Faunus girl and the Saiyan."
"Yea- Wait…" Ruby replied but realized what Penny just said.
"What?" Penny asked, not realizing her blunder.
"How do you know that Ana is Saiyan? For that matter, how do you know what a Saiyan is?" Ruby questioned seriously.
"Uh… lucky guess?" Penny nervously answered, whilst shrugging before she hiccupped. Ruby raised an eyebrow at this; quickly changing the subject, the orangette asked, "Where's Weiss and Yang?"
To Ruby, this was raising many red flags; she knew that Penny was trying to hide something, but she left it alone, considering she had her own problems right now, and answered "They were helping me look for Blake and Ana, but Weiss needed to vent emotionally, and Yang is lending her shoulder to help."
"I see," Penny said then cheerfully added, "Well don't worry Ruby I won't rest until I find your teammate and sister."
Knowing that Penny will tag along anyways, the young Rose reluctantly agreed; at least she has someone helping in Weiss and Yang's absence…
Elsewhere in Vale…
Blake, Manami and Sun were walking down a street with Sun having his arms relaxing behind his head; they were in the midst of bringing their earlier discussion to a close. Blake said apologetically, "Sorry I didn't tell you guys that I was a Faunus, it kinda came with the territory that I was an ex-member of the White Fang."
Manami simply smiled and replies, "Hey don't worry about it. I was in your shoes remember? I had a secret of my own and I revealed how dangerous I am. Besides, I've seen cases of people being redeemed from their previous actions, I strongly believe that you can be too."
Blake returned that sentiment with a smile of her own. Unfortunately, that quickly went away as Blake raised an arm to her chin, saying, "Speaking of the White Fang, I still don't believe that they are behind the robberies. They've never needed that much dust before."
Manami thought about that question before asking, "What if they did?"
"What do you mean?" Blake asked.
"The only way to prove that they aren't the ones stealing Dust is to stakeout the most likely location for a Dust robbery or heist and wait for the perpetrators to strike," Manami answered before asking Sun, "Did you complete the other half of my favor?"
With a mischievous grin, the Monkey Faunus answered, "Yeah, I did. When I stowed-away on that ship, I heard a few of the sailors were talking about a huge Dust shipment coming in from Atlas. I looked at little into that piece of information and confirmed it was scheduled to arrive tonight."
Blake asked him, "How huge is the shipment?"
Sun spread his arms whilst saying, "'Huge'. Big Schnee Company freighter."
Manami nodded and said resolutely, "Then that's where we will go…"
Later, with Yang and Weiss…
Sometime had passed while Weiss cried her eyes out; Yang had led her to a nearby bench to sit on, so they were a bit more comfortable. Weiss however was still crying, albeit a lot less now; once she calmed down, Yang asked her, "You okay now?"
Weiss wiped her face before sniffling then answering, "I should be alright, but…"
"But what?" Yang asked.
Weiss sighed, "But how can I improve on my attitude and make up for my mistakes?"
After a few moments, Yang just laughed; Weiss raised an eyebrow at this and asked her, "What's so funny?"
Yang laughed a few more seconds before stopping; once she stopped laughing, the Buxom Blonde waved her hands in dismissive manner as she said, "Nothing it's just that you already have improved."
"What?" a confused Weiss asked.
Yang smiled as she explained, "I'll let you on a little secret that Ana taught Ruby and I, one that applies to practically everything you do in life. 'The first step to improving is acknowledging your mistakes; when you do, you've already started improve.' You've admitted your mistakes when you started to break down in tears in front of me and Ruby; so, by my sister's words, you've already started to become a better person."
Weiss was surprised at the blonde's words; she contemplated them for a bit before smiling. Seeing the heiress smile genuinely was a rare sight, but it was a welcome one as Yang thought, "Ana, you're wiser than I or Ruby would ever be… thank you for teaching me a few things…"
At the same time…
"So, Blake is your friend?" Penny asked, walking with Ruby, who sighed, "Yes, Penny."
"But you're mad at her?" The orangette asked.
"No, I'm not; and I don't think anyone is, not anymore anyways," Ruby replied.
"What do you mean?" The awkward girl asked.
"Weiss was irritated about the subject of the White Fang, who Blake defended; their argument revealed that she was not only a Faunus but that she might have been a member of the White Fang. This made Blake run off; Ana went after her but not before she gave Weiss a harsh lecture. I'm guessing that's why Weiss needed to emotionally vent. Anyways Blake has been missing since Friday."
"I see," Penny replied before adding, "I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things."
That soured Ruby's mood a bit; she looked a bit downcast as she said, "Me too…"
That evening at Vale's Docks…
Manami and Blake were currently staking out the docks on the roof of a warehouse; the Cat Faunus herself was prone while the Saiyan of Remnant was kneeling. The two watched the docks vigilantly and kept an eye on the now offloaded SDC cargo containers. Then the two heard a voice ask, "Did I miss anything?"
They turned behind them to see Sun carrying something in his arms. Manami answered, "No. The crates were just offloaded; now it's just a whole lot of waiting while they just sit there."
"Cool. I stole you guys some food," Sun said, handing a green apple to whoever would take it, which was nobody. Blake asked Sun with a raised brow, "Do you always break the law without a second thought?"
To which Sun retorts, "Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?"
This earned him a glare from the Cat Faunus followed by a very light punch to the arm from the Saiyan, making Sun drop the rest of the stolen fruit. He rubs his now throbbing arm and said with a pained expression, "Okay, too soon…"
Suddenly the sound of turbines rang in their ears and a gust of wind washed over them, not enough to send them flying, but just enough to cover their eyes and get their attention. The three looked to the source to see that a Bullhead flew in through the clouds and fog above, dropping its landing gear so it may land in the middle of the wide-open docks. Once it landed, the engines began to shut down, the side door flew open and the off ramp extended; a single masked soldier in a black and white uniform with a red insignia emblazoned on the back went down the ramp. The insignia depicted a blood red head of a wolf, baring its fangs with three scratch marks behind it. Unfortunately, Blake recognized the uniform's insignia immediately, uttering, "Oh no."
"Is that them?" Sun asked.
Blake hesitantly answered, "Yes. It's them."
More White Fang soldiers disembarked the Bullhead; the soldier with the rifle must have been one of the officers because he commanded, "Alright. Grab the tow cables."
As this was unfolding before their eyes, Manami asked, "You knew it was them, didn't you? You just didn't want to believe it."
Blake closed her eyes and sighed, "Yeah, I really didn't…"
Just then, a new voice shouted, "Hey! What's the hold up?"
Blake's eyes flew open as she and the others looked to the source of the voice. Another man had exited the Bullhead; he had slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. Black eyeliner traced his visible left eye. He wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band. He also held a cane in his right hand, one that had a light gray handle and steel grey finish with red accents. Apparently, he was the leader of this operation since he barked, "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment at the moment, sooo why don't you animals try to pick up the pace."
"What the? That's Roman Torchwick!" Manami exclaimed.
"This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a human. Especially not one like him," Blake added as she stood up and unsheathed Gambol Shroud's gun-tana.
Sun reached out to her and exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing!?"
But his cries fell on deaf ears as former White Fang member jumped down and ran for the only human in the group. Manami turned to Sun and said in commanding tone, "Sun, wait! Let's see how this plays out first, but be prepared to jump in after her once the fighting starts, I have a bad feeling about this."
"What about you?" Sun asked, reluctantly acquiescing to the Saiyan's request.
"I'll stay here and keep an eye out for any reinforcements after the fighting starts, if anyone shows up, I'll jump in and take care of it."
Meanwhile Blake managed sneak up behind Roman by using the crates to her advantage as cover. She peaked from behind her cover as Roman shouts to a WF soldier carrying a cable, "No you idiot! This isn't a leash!"
Blake made herself known by grabbing Torchwick, holding her blade to his neck. He exclaims, "What the-? Oh, for f-"
Blake quickly interrupts him as she announced, "Nobody move!"
Two nearby WF soldiers drew their weapons; one aimed his rifle at Blake while another pointed his sword toward her. Roman however was still surprisingly calm; he said to Blake, "Woah! Take it easy there little lady."
Two more WF grunts show up, another rifleman and a dual-wielding swordsman. Blake looked around to the men surrounding her before she reached for her bow and threw it off to reveal her cat ears. She addressed her former comrades, "Brothers of the White Fang. Why are you aiding this scum?"
This took the WF grunts off guard; they looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Torchwick however, answered for them, "Heh, oh kid. Didn't you get the memo?"
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked with a hint of venom.
"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together," Torchwick answered calmly.
Blake tightened her grip on Roman, pressing her gun-tana's blade to his neck with a bit more pressure and demanded, "Tell me what it is, or I'll put an end to your little operation."
Unfortunately, the sound of turbines filled her ears and gusts of wind enveloped them once more, forcing them to close their eyes for a bit. Torchwick opened them once more as he looked to the skies and smugly retorts, "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation."
Blake looked up in shock to see two more Bullheads approach the docks from inside the fog and surround them. Unfortunately for her, Torchwick noticed that she was distracted and that was all he needed to give her a nasty surprise; he pulled a secret trigger on his cane and fired a fire dust round at Blake's feet causing an explosion big enough to affect her but leave himself standing.
At the same time…
The sound of the explosion rang throughout the streets of Downtown Vale, catching the attention of a certain Red Reaper and awkward orangette. They turned around to see the smoke over the buildings, emanating from the docks. Ruby had a bad feeling about what this meant and uttered, "Oh no…"
Back at the Docks…
Blake was slowly getting up from that surprise attack, however Torchwick wasn't letting her rest; he took aim his gun-cane, appropriately named Melodic Cudgel, and fired another three rounds at Blake. The downed Cat Faunus quickly took notice and did a few combat rolls forward to avoid the shots and resulting explosions. The thieving orangette didn't let up his assault however and fired multiple shots in rapid succession; Blake did two backflips to avoid several rounds and their explosions before jumping off a shadow clone to avoid a direct hit and give herself enough momentum to keep moving and hide behind some cargo containers. As soon as she was out of sight, Roman walked toward her last known location and taunted, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty."
Roman however felt a banana peel land on his favorite hat; using his free left hand, he quickly removed the peel and looked for the one who tossed it only to look up in shock to see the soles of a certain Monkey Faunus's shoes falling towards him. Sun landed on Roman's face, knocking him on his back, and giving Sun enough room to do roll and flow into several front flips before he lands on his feet and turns back around to face Torchwick, demanding, "Leave her alone."
Sadly, the doors of one of the Bullheads opened to reveal more WF grunts, who jumped down behind Roman who was now back on his feet. Sun looks around to see that he more grunts had arrived and had him surrounded. He turned back to Torchwick who sarcastically comments, "You are not the Brightest Banana in the bunch are you kid?"
The surrounding grunts then charged at Sun, but they soon learned that he was not harmless as they thought. Sun gave a right hook to an approaching grunt, followed by back fist before he saw another soldier trying to slash at him with his sword, prompting him to spin left to avoid it and countered by smacking the guy across the face with his tail. Sun kept up the momentum of his spin, allowing him to roundhouse kick the grunt he countered and another one that tried to attack him from the side; using the last of his momentum he kicked off a WF dual-swordsman behind him and rolled to avoid another one that swung at him. From the momentum of his roll, he pulled out a collapsible staff from underneath the back of his white jacket and fully extended it by swinging it into another grunt that tried a frontal assault and knocked him out. The mischievous monkey then skillfully spun his staff around him, knocking down another two grunts attacking from behind before spinning his staff back around to hit a single grunt to his left not once, not twice, but three times. Sun then spun his staff vertically before slamming it to the ground, creating an aura powered shockwave and knocking down multiple WF attackers. As for the ones that weren't knocked down, the Monkey Faunus started breakdancing and tripped those poor fools up.
Meanwhile, Blake peaked back around her cover to see Sun finishing his breakdance as he popped up and kicked a WF swordsman, making him bend down; the mischievous monkey was not finished however as he backflipped onto the grunt's back, forcing the guy down on the ground before he flip-kicked off of him, sending the guy flying… right over Torchwick who ducked underneath the humanoid projectile. Angered at what he was witnessing, he engaged Sun and fired a single explosive round at him; Sun however, blocked the shot by spinning his staff in front of him, keeping him safe from the small explosion. Once the smoke dissipated, Blake jumped down in front of him and charged at the thieving orangette, proclaiming, "He's mine!"
She leaped at the thief, slashing downward with Gambol Shroud's sheath-cleaver; Roman blocked the attack and swung at her but missed since Blake ducked down. She then popped up with an upward slash, spinning around to block another swing with the gun-tana and flowing into double flip-slash, followed by a lunge right off a shadow clone mid-air, into another lunge by pushing off of another shadow clone, and a repeat of the same move two more times. Unfortunately, Roman blocked the last one and was about to hit Blake, but she back flipped off the last shadow clone to avoid it and moved to block another strike. Roman tried to punch her in the face, but Blake used another shadow clone to take the hit, back flipping once more, and blocked an overhead strike. She the tried to slash him with her cleaver but Roman parried it away; Blake kept momentum by going for an overhead slash which was blocked as well.
Unfortunately, with a quick sleight of hand, Roman jabbed at Blake's right side with Melodic Cudgel's handle, staggering Blake, and was quickly followed by an uppercut with the cane's staff. Not losing any momentum, Torchwick spun into an overhead smash, further staggering Blake, and then finished with another smash. However, Sun jumped in the second Blake was knocked back, starting with a flying kick to push Roman back; once Sun landed he separated his staff into two nunchakus, skillfully twirling the one in his right hand into the thieving orangette. Sadly, the weapon bounced off of Torchwick's Melodic Cudgel, prompting Sun to twist around the nunchaku around and fire the gun component; this was one half of Sun's weapon(s): Ruyi Bang. Roman however, somehow managed to block it at point-blank range; Sun pressed his attack by twirling Ruyi Bang back up into the thief's cane before twirling the sister gun-chaku, Jingu Bang, while firing it at the same time. Roman was skilled however and blocked the weapon while avoiding the shots, but Sun kept his flow going and switched to Ruyi Bang before attacking with both gun-chakus, twirling both of them around and firing their guns. Somehow, Torchwick managed to block all the melee attacks and avoided the shots, but he was left wide open for a lunge from Blake, knocking him back and onto his back.
As Roman slowly stood back up, he noticed a cargo container above his two Faunus attackers; Torchwick knew that his back-up was hiding amongst the containers, waiting for him to execute the back up plan. So, he subtly pressed a small panic button, hidden in his left glove, by squeezing it against his cane and activated a silent signal before he aimed his cane and fired. The explosive round soared until it hit the cables and latches that held the container; Blake and Sun looked up to see it falling on top of them; they were about to jump out of the way, but something was wrong… they couldn't move, not even a single muscle, as if something was keeping them still. Time slowed down as the container continued to fall, awaiting their inevitable deaths; fortunately for them their savior came in the form of a certain Saiyan warrior. Manami flew into the container with a literal Ki-enhanced flying kick, knocking it away from its would-be victims. When Torchwick saw this, he yelled in mix of rage and shock, "WHAT!?"
Manami finally dropped to the ground to check on Blake and Sun; the two were released from their paralysis once the surprise attack failed. She quickly asked, "You guys, okay?"
The two simply nodded, acknowledging that they're fine. Manami then turned to Roman with contempt.
"Where is your back up Roman? I know that they are the cause of my friends' paralysis," Manami venomously asked. The heroine of TokiToki city was not messing around, she knew what happened to Blake and Sun was not normal. But before Roman could even answer five figures in familiar battle armor had shown up; Manami's eyes grew wide as she immediately recognized them.
One of them was very similar in appearance to a human; he was tall and muscular, had shaggy orange hair, beady eyes, and a cleft chin. The man wore a scouter on his left eye, white battle armor, gloves and boots, with a short black jumpsuit underneath. he dropped down into a pose: his right leg was stretched out, putting his weight on his left leg. His right arm was at his stomach as if he's bowing and his left arm was stretched out into the air. The man then shouts his name, "Recoome!"
Next was a tall, bluish-purple skinned alien whose eyes had red irises and were pupil-less. He also has many small spots over his body. The alien was wearing the black variant of the battle armor, black jumpsuit leggings, and white gloves and boots. He dropped into a similar pose to Recoome's but in the opposite direction, shouting out his name, "Burter!"
The third was another alien who was also similar to human. His eyes had black irises, but his skin was bright red and his white hair went down to his hips. He wore the white variant of battle armor, had a black, sleeved jumpsuit but his legs exposed. He also had white gloves and boots as well as a scouter. Like his comrades before him he dropped into a pose, this time he was down with his left knee and right foot planted on the ground and had his arms raised in a V formation with his fingers outstretched and palms face down. He too shouted his name, "Jeice!"
The fourth was a short and round, green alien with four eyes: two humanoid eyes on his face and two larger ones on the side of his head. He was wearing the white battle armor variant with a full body jumpsuit, white gloves and boots; he doesn't have a scouter due to it not fitting his head's structure. He also dropped into a pose similar to Jeice, but his legs had flipped positions. He also shouted his name, "Guldo!"
The last was most likely the leader; He was a tall, purple humanoid alien. The top of his head displays prominent veins, similar to that of a human brain. Two black conical horns protrude from the top sides of his head. He wears a black variant of the Battle Armor that Frieza's forces wear, with lower side guards, black and white wrist bracers. He wears black underwear as his lower body armor. The alien then jumped, turning around, and landing with his legs in an upside-down V formation; he then bent down to make his face visible between the gap of his legs and had his hands next to his head as if he was going to do the jazz hands. He finally shouted his name, "Ginyu!"
Afterwards, they then shouted in quick succession in the exact same order they called their names.
"To-!"
"-ge-!"
"-ther!"
"We!"
"Are!"
They then joined together in one last pose. Ginyu faced forward, crouching down, and spreading his arms back and bent a little bit forward. Guldo was to his right, his right leg out-stretched and his weight on his left; he held his left fist near his face and had his right arm holding his left elbow. Recoome was behind Guldo, his back facing his opponents and doing a classic strong man pose with his right arm in the air and his left making a fist. Burter was next to him, bending forward with his arms outstretched in to the air behind him; his left leg was held in the air and stood perfectly on his right. Finally, Jeice stood in front of Burter, his legs in a similar position to Guldo but going in a different direction; Jeice was bending toward Guldo but his left arm was going straight up into the air and his right leveled with his face. They all shouted the name of their team in unison, "The Ginyu Force!"
When they were done, Blake, Sun and even Torchwick slumped forward, sweat-dropping at what they witnessed; as for Manami, she face-faulted at seeing these idiots do their poses again. The Saiyan was thinking as she recovered from her face-fault, "Urgh, these idiots again? While their teamwork is admirable along with the fact that they could give me a challenge under the assumption they were given a massive power boost, I could do without the poses"
Torchwick must have thought similarly because he flailed his arms and shouted, "Are poses and roll calls really necessary!?"
Ginyu chuckled, answering, "Yes, it is. It's our trademark fighting pose that signifies our teamwork."
Once again Torchwick sweat-dropped at the answer, and drawled out, "Rriiight…"
"Is that guy serious?" Blake asked Manami in a deadpan.
The Saiyan sighed, "Unfortunately… yes…"
Jeice suddenly asked, "Captain! How will we decide who fights who?"
Ginyu thought about it, but was then met with a low-powered Ki blast to the face. Once Ginyu recovered everyone turned to the source, seeing Manami with one arm aimed at them as she declared, "Sorry, but none of you five will touch a hair on the Faunus behind me. Besides they aren't on your level, you'll get bored within the first minute of the fight. So how about this: The Ginyu Force versus me, the Saiyan of Remnant!"
That got the attention of Frieza's elite team; Burter smirked, saying, "So you're the Saiyan our boss has heard so much about."
"This will be fun," Recoome remarked.
"We'll show you not to mess with the Ginyu Force!" Guldo shouted.
"You're going to regret saying that as well as attacking our captain," Jeice added.
"Well said team," Ginyu praised.
Blake and Sun were now worried for Manami; while Blake knew just how powerful her Saiyan friend is, she is worried that they might be too much for her. Sun was had the same thoughts but was more worried because he doesn't know much about Manami's strength. The former asked her Saiyan friend, "Are you sure about this?"
Not taking her eyes her eyes off of the Ginyu Force, the hero of TokiToki answered, "Yeah. I know these clowns the best; even though they're idiots, they are too powerful for you guys. No offence, but you guys were nearly taken out by Guldo and he is the weakest of the five; he was the reason you guys couldn't move away from that container."
"Damn," Sun commented.
"Yeah… but listen leave them to me, you take care Torchwick. Oh, and do me a favor take a few steps back." Manami commands.
They both nodded, especially Blake, knowing what was about to happen, doing what they were told and getting ready to attack Torchwick once Manami's fight begins. Said Saiyan kept her eyes on the five before her; after a few moments, Frieza's elite quickly charged their powers to max. The future warrior was a little surprised at their power: Guldo was a third of her max power while Recoome was a little over 65 percent. Burter and Jeice were about the same, being at nearly 70 percent of her power with Captain Ginyu being 90 percent of her full power. They all dropped into their fighting stances, staring down their opponent, waiting to see what move she will make. Manami quickly strategized, "I gotta take out Guldo and Recoome first. Guldo's psychic abilities will make him troublesome and Recoome's attacks leave him wide open; the less I have to deal with, the better. Ginyu will be next because of the body change technique followed by Jeice and Burter."
Manami suddenly gave off a guttural roar, flaring her clear white aura and raising her Ki to max from the very start with rocks floating into the air and gusts of strong winds emanating from her charge up, forcing Blake and Sun to hold on to something, anything to keep from being blown away. The Ginyu Force's massively improved scouters suddenly started beeping, seeing The Saiyan's power rising rapidly. They were visibly shocked, seeing the Saiyan's power topple theirs, and they had gained new level of power not too long ago. Manami soon stopped dropping into her fighting stance, this time with a smirk. Recoome was speechless and Burter was shaking as he read Manami's power level out loud, "P-Power level of 520,000,000,000!?"
"What!?" Guldo shouted.
Jeice added, "She's even stronger than the Captain!"
But Ginyu was not worried; he announced to the team, "Even so, she still doesn't stand a chance against us after we use our little… gift."
The Ginyu Force calmed down and took out a small capsule and pressed on its button; in a puff of smoke, a fruit similar to that of durian appeared which Manami recognized immediately, "The Fruit from the Tree of Might!?"
The elite team ate the fruit and almost immediately the effects took place; they all gained an aura of darkness with their eyes glowing a dark red hue. However the biggest difference was their power; Manami sensed their powers increase dramatically, currently up to three times their base power. She was currently thinking, "Well I guess its time to step up my game. I'll kill Recoome and Guldo straight out of the gate."
"Your move Saiyan!" Recoome mocked.
[Music Start – "Gallant" Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 OST]
Manami smirked and remarked, "You'll regret saying that! KAIO-KEN TIMES 3!"
Once more Manami's aura flared, this time being a powerful red aura; this action caused the Ginyu Force's scouters to beep a few times before breaking. They were surprised; that meant they were dealing with someone in a whole different league. However, they didn't even have time to react as Manami disappeared, materializing behind Guldo before kicking him into high into the air. Guldo was flailing around a few seconds before stopping himself; unfortunately for him, Manami appeared in front of him with her arms above her head, hands together charging Ki. Guldo didn't even last a full fifteen seconds into the fight as Manami fired the Ki blast, calling out…
"MASENKO!"
Guldo screamed in horrifying agony as the energy wave vaporized him; his teammates watched in pure shock, seeing that one of their members killed in mere seconds. However, that shock wore off for Recoome as he charged Manami with a Ki-Blast Thrust; the Saiyan merely "side-stepped," so to speak, flying a few feet to her side and dodged the attack. Recoome's attack flew off into space while he himself fumbled around in the air for a few seconds. Not wasting this opportunity, Manami punched him and sent Recoome flying; she quickly followed up by dashing past him and delivered a flying-kick to his face, sending the large Ginyu Force member toward the ground. He recovered mid-air, however, and began charging his Ki into his mouth, to which Manami immediately noticed.
"ERASER GUN!" Recoome shouted as he spewed a powerful pinkish-purple energy wave directly at the future warrior; she easily dodged it, leaving behind an afterimage; Manami reappeared in front of Recoome, who tried to punch her, but went through another afterimage. He looked around to see that he was surrounded by multiple afterimages; not knowing which one was the real Manami he decided to use his ultimate technique to finish her off. He begins to charge up, surrounding himself with a pinkish-purple aura, posing as he shouts, "Recoome… Ultra… Fighting…!"
He never finished his technique and its call-out as he felt agonizing pain from his stomach; Recoome looked down to see that he was elbowed in the stomach by Manami. To say that he was embarrassed is putting it mildly, remembering that he was defeated in the exact same way many years ago by Goku. He was about to fall to the ground in his unconscious state, but Manami quickly grabbed Recoome's wrist and whirled him around before throwing him further into the sky with with Goku's dragon toss. She brought her hands in front of her and quickly charged Ki between them; Manami fired her Ki blast as she calls out…
"LIGHT GRENADE!"
The Ki blast raced toward Recoome's unconscious form until it impacted him, causing a large explosion over the docks.
[Music End]
As Manami's Kaio-ken x3 fades away, everyone on the docks below was utterly speechless. For the Ginyu Force, they were shocked to see the Saiyan kill two of their members with ease, even after the power boost they were given. For Sun, he never thought he'd meet anyone as powerful as Manami, while Blake was not expecting her friend to kill those two; Blake was thinking, "Ana has a lot more explaining to do."
With his shock quickly turning into anger, Captain Ginyu announced, "Jeice! Burter! Time to eat the other four fruits we were each given!"
"Right!" the two subordinates acknowledged before following his command. The three then took out four capsules each, all of then revealed to be carrying Fruit from the Tree of Might; they quickly downed the four fruits, causing their power to skyrocket and dwarf Manami's Kaio-ken x3 power up. The hero of TokiToki quickly noticed this surge of power and thought, "Not good… I'm definitely going to have to ramp up the Kaio-ken to my highest sooner than I thought."
Unfortunately, she didn't have time to power-up as she heard…
"CRUSHER BALL!"
She noticed a large energy ball racing toward her. In response, the Saiyan quickly moved to avoid it, which was exactly what Burter wanted her to do; he appeared right behind her and let loose with rapid-fire kicks. Manami tried to block, but thanks to Burter's new level of power, Manami received more damage than she could block. Worse, Jeice joined in and gave machinegun-like punches to Manami as well; and if that wasn't enough, Ginyu appeared above them, the second they stopped attacking Manami before firing a Ki blast, shouting…
"MILKY CANNON!"
The Ki Blast exploded when it impacted against the Future Warrior and sent her back down into the far side of the docks, making a large crater on impact. When Sun and Blake saw this they were in shock, the latter prepared run to her shouting "ANA!"
Blake however pulled him back saying, "Sun no!"
Sun tried to argue, "But-!"
Blake however insisted, "But nothing! There's nothing we can do but go after Torchwick like she told us to. Anything else will achieve nothing; Manami and the people she's facing are in an entirely different league, far superior to all Huntsman. They'll kill you long before you even scratch them."
Sun contemplated her words before nodding. The two faced Torchwick across from them, who was currently engrossed in the spectacle before him until he heard Sun yell, "Hey buddy!"
He turned back to the two Faunus he tried to kill before with contempt. When they had his attention, Blake added, "We're not done with you yet!"
"But I'm done with you two!" he yelled as he charged them.
Meanwhile, Manami was slowly getting up; she had a few cuts and bruises from that attack. Even her 4-star Dragon-ball Gi had seen better days; the top portion of the robe is gone with the right side of the black undershirt ripped off, leaving only the wrist guard. The left side of the undershirt only had a few rips along the sleeve. As for the bottom portion of the robe that went behind her like a tail coat, the left side was completely torn to shreds; the leggings had a few rips and the boots had a few marks. Once she was on her feet she looked up from the crater to see the last three members of the Ginyu Force laughing at her. Burter mocked, "Looks like the Saiyan was nothing but bark after all."
"Yeah, she may have caught us off guard but she still can't hold a candle to us! Eh, Captain?" Jeice added.
"Right you are you two," Ginyu responds before asking, "What do you say to finishing her off?"
"Let's," The red and blue members of the Ginyu Force answered.
Unfortunately for them, Manami was now pissed and going for broke. She charged up, flaring her Kaio-ken aura once more with gale force winds rushing out and rubble around her not only floating into the air, but also disintegrating; the Ginyu Force noticed this and instantly paled, now knowing that the Saiyan was holding back by a lot. She announced, "I'm not done yet! I've still got plenty of tricks up my sleeve!"
[Music Start – "Challenger" Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 OST]
The Ginyu Force's apprehension grew when Manami shouted…
"KAIO-KEN TIMES 20!"
Not even a second after she yelled those words, she moved faster than they could react, disappearing then reappearing behind them. She sent all of them flying in directions with a single roundhouse kick. Manami quickly dashed toward Ginyu before hitting him with a barrage of punches and kicks; after throwing the last punch, the Saiyan of Remnant, fired a Ki blast while jumping away, sending Ginyu into the ocean water. She was not finished however as she locked on to Ginyu's Ki and unleashed a barrage of Ki blasts, shouting…
"DIE DIE MISSILE BARRAGE!"
21 Ki blasts raced into the water after the Captain; seconds later, 21 muffled explosions and flashes happened beneath the surface. Manami could still sense Ginyu's Ki, so naturally she was about to give chase; Burter and Jeice however, would not let her continue her assault on their beloved Captain Ginyu. The two appeared above her and fired a monsoon of red and blue Ki blasts; sadly for them, Manami was much more faster and powerful with the Kaio-ken x20. She quickly fired her own monsoon of Ki blasts in Jeice and Burter's general direction to counter their attack with many of her own blasts still left over, but none never touched either of the two. Seeing this, Jeice taunts, "You missed! Can you even aim you stupid monkey!?"
"Who said I was aiming for the both of you!? I was just cutting off any chance of escape!" Manami retorts.
Burter and Jeice looked around to see that the Ki blasts from earlier had stopped mid-air. Knowing what was about to happen next, Burter turns to Jeice and comments, "You jinxed it!"
Before the Red Magma could say anything, Manami willed the Ki blasts to converge on the two, shouting, "Take this! HELLZONE GRENADE!"
The Ki blast hit both Jeice and Burter from every direction, heavily damaging them in a large explosion; falling out of the smoke and onto the docks below were the unconscious bodies of Burter and Jeice. But before Manami could attack, Ginyu flew out from the water and fired multiple Ki blasts at Manami followed by a Full Power Energy Wave; the Saiyan of Remnant easily knocked the blasts away from her and the city before blocking the energy wave. When it dissipated, Manami Step-vanished multiple times toward Ginyu before reappearing behind him, kicking him sky high then Instant Transmission above him and slamming him back towards the ground next to Burter and Jeice. She quickly descends, landing on the docks several meters away from them and facing ocean, preparing a powerful wave attack by charging her right hand with Ki, glowing a Cyan hue. Jeice, Burter and Ginyu were slowly getting, noticing what Manami was preparing to finish their fight. They each channeled their remaining Ki into one final wave attack. The Future Warrior noticed this and comments, "Hmph, stubborn as always…"
A few more moments passed before the remaining three fired their energy waves, unleashing a large beam of yellow energy at the Saiyan and the city behind her. Manami answered with her own attack, calling out…
"FINAL SHINE ATTACK!"
An equally large, cyan energy beam collided with the Ginyu force's energy wave. The two beams struggled for dominance for several moments, however, the Ginyu Force's beam slowly began to overtake the Final Shine Attack; Manami smiled, knowing that she was still stronger, and poured even more power into her wave attack. The result was the Final Shine Attack swallowing their attack and the attackers themselves, disintegrating them. Like with the Final Flash, Manami had curved the energy wave into space where it shouldn't do anyone on Remnant harm.
[Music End]
On the other side of Vale…
Weiss and Yang were going as fast as they could toward the docks. When they saw the smoke coming from the docks they weren't too worried because it could mean anything. But when they heard consecutive explosions, saw energy beams in the sky, and felt a few gusts of wind, they booked it as best as they could because they knew that only one person was capable of those things. They just hoped that Manami and everyone she was protecting were okay.
Back at the docks…
As her Kaio-ken x20 was fading, Manami commented between heavy breaths, "Good riddance…"
She turned to regroup with Blake and Sun, however, pain was starting to set in a few seconds latter as her muscles started to become very sore, causing her to fall to her knees; the pain, both from Ginyu Force's counter attack and the Kaio-ken x20 did a number on her stamina… after all it had been quite a while since she had used the Kaio-ken at that level. She may have trained in base form many times in the gravity chamber to increase the multiplier with her highest being the x20, but that was before she achieved the Super Saiyan transformation. Because of the ridiculous stamina drain the Kaio-ken has on top of the fact that the Super Saiyan transformations are superior in strength, she just didn't pay attention to the technique as much, which in turn caused her conditioning to the Kaio-ken to deteriorate. That being said, Manami's unconditioned body using an out-of-practice Kaio-ken x20 on top of the damage she received is more than enough to drain her stamina by a lot. Along these lines, she thought, "Damn, maybe I should have practiced the Kaio-ken so I can get acclimated to ridiculous stamina drain. Too late to back out now, I guess…"
The Saiyan of Remnant stood back up, albeit struggling with pain, and moved in the direction of Torchwick, Sun and Blake's Ki signatures. However, once she rounded a few more cargo containers, Manami saw that Torchwick was standing over Sun with the muzzle of Melodic Cudgel aimed at the Monkey Faunus. He was about to pull the trigger when everyone heard, "Hey!"
The four then turned in the direction of the voice, seeing Ruby walking toward the edge of a rooftop and spinning Crescent Rose around before stabbing the blade onto the roof's ground. Roman sarcastically greets her, saying, "Oh hey Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?"
Manami however thought, "Ruby? What is she doing here?"
However that train of thought was interrupted when she saw Penny with her. Ruby then turned toward her to tell her to stay back and incidentally lets her guard down and Roman seized this opportunity to take a shot at her. Manami tried to move to Ruby, but only winced in pain when her body ached from the battle before. The young Rose turned around to see the shot too late and was sent back via an explosive round to the face; luckily her Aura negated the damage but the feeling of the explosion still hurt. As for Penny, she was now pissed seeing her new friend she walked to the edge, hearing Ruby yell, "Penny wait! Stop!"
However Penny merely smiled as she announced, "Don't worry Ruby! I'm combat-ready!"
Suddenly Penny's backpack opened up to reveal dozens of swords that were floating mid-air. With her swords following her, the orangette took a running start before leaping off the roof into the on-going battle below, sending several blades at the WF grunts and knocking them out; Penny landed between two more grunts then quickly did a few gestures with her arms, causing her blades to attack the grunt to her right to send him flying before coming back to snag the uniform of the grunt to her left, sending him careening into a cargo container and knocking him out. A few WF members tried to get the jump on Penny but said girl willed her blades to spin in front of her like a windmill, hitting the attackers and knocked them back; she quickly followed with a back flip, causing her blades to wrap around her like a bladed wheel and hit another grunt as if she hit him with an uppercut. When she landed on her feet, Penny threw her swords forward in a sawblade formation which plowed through a mob of WF grunts, scattering them through the air like leaves and knocking them out.
"Whoa!" Sun exclaimed as he witnessed this before he looked to the skies to see more Bullheads before running for cover. Good thing he did, because they started firing at Penny, who blocked the oncoming fire with her swords before two more swords flew out of her pack and latched on to the building behind her; the swords apparently were attached to her pack via a thin yet strong string, which pulled her back toward the building. Penny's swords followed her as she willed them to mecha-shift into gun form and placed them into a circular formation, as she herself dropped into a charging stance; she was on her right knee and her arms were outstretched in front of her. A green sphere of energy formed in the front of the guns before Penny pulled her arms back toward her as it shined brightly followed by Penny thrusting her arms forth in a double punch, causing multiple large green energy beams to shoot forward. Those beams sliced through the Bullheads like butter, causing the WF members to jump out before they crashed right into the waters below.
Ruby witnessed all this happen before her very eyes; while not the craziest thing she's seen thanks in part to her older Saiyan sister, the things that Penny is capable of are up there. Speaking of which, a Bullhead was about to try and escape with at least a single SDC cargo container, but Penny latched onto the Bullhead with her wire controlled swords and kept it from getting away. As she watched her newest friend do superhuman feats, Ruby mutters, "Woah. How is she doing that?"
As Penny held it down, the Bullhead increased the engine's power to no avail. Roman saw this and made his way to his own separate Bullhead, something that Manami noticed while doing her best to ignore the pain; meanwhile, Penny, with one last move, pulled the Bullhead down and forced it to crash into a pile of cargo containers. After everything he witnessed tonight, Torchwick comments, "These people just keep getting weirder!"
Torchwick's Bullhead was about to takeoff, but Manami rushed toward it in order to keep it grounded; however, she felt a surge of dark energy before being blasted by an energy wave into another pile of cargo containers. Penny, Sun, Ruby, and Blake all saw this happen and watched the Bullhead make its get away. Once again, Manami struggled to get up because of all the damage she received in her battle with the Ginyu Force. However all five of them heard someone laughing before a voice announced, "So this is the Saiyan that was giving my 'employers' trouble. How… pathetic."
They turned to the voice to see a man with a tail, has purple skin and white armor carapaces floating in mid air and top of that, he was generating on aura of darkness. Of course Manami recognized him and spoke his name, "Cooler!"
The now-named Cooler smirked announcing, "And it seems my reputation precedes me. Sadly while I do want to make you suffer, I always put business first before pleasure; I have a job to do after all… and that's to eliminate all threats to my employers' plans!"
Cooler then fired a powerful Ki blast at the docks, aiming to kill everyone there. Fortunately Manami still had enough strength to fight back as she intercepted the blast and held it back; Cooler smiled smugly, as he threw a much smaller yet still powerful Ki blast causing it to detonate in Manami's face, sending her crashing back onto the docks and creating yet another large crater, spew a large dust cloud around it. Seeing that Made Cooler arrogant saying, "Tch, what at disappointment…"
As Blake, Ruby, Sun, and Penny watched they were shocked. The members of RWBY knew that Manami was strong but to see someone pushing her back was a nightmare. Sun was just utterly speechless, not knowing the gravity of the situation; even Penny had no words after witnessing what just happened. The four of them plus Cooler thought the fight was over when gusts of wind picked up and they heard…
"KAIO-KEN TIMES 20!"
Suddenly a battered and bruised Manami, flaring her Kaio-ken aura once more, materialized in front of Cooler and hit him with a roundhouse kick and sent him flying, whilst chanting…
"Ka… Me…"
Manami didn't give Cooler time to breath as she rushed him and delivered a right uppercut, sending him higher into the sky as she still continued to chant the infamous words…
"Ha… Me…"
Cooler willed himself to stop just in time to look down and see Manami cup her hands to her side and charge a condensed ball of Ki very quickly before she thrusted them forward, firing the signature technique of Son Goku as she shouts…
"HAAAAAA!"
A massive azure energy wave raced into the sky, engulfing a surprised Cooler. Everyone below them shielded their eyes as even more gusts of wind surged around them on top of the bright blue light that emanated from the Future Warrior's Kamehameha Wave which could be seen for miles around. A few moments more and the energy wave dissipated, leaving only a pillar of smoke. Manami smiled, thanking the gods that she still had a supply of healing capsules; while she would prefer using a senzu bean, she doesn't want to rely solely on them, so she keeps a supply of healing capsules on hand. Unfortunately, that smile went away very quickly, as she senses Cooler's power rise rapidly; her fears were apparently sound as the smoke cleared to reveal Cooler in his final form. He grew in muscle mass and size. His white carapace also changed with the breast-plates shoulder pads becoming hoop-like in shape, while the white carapaces on his wrists change drastically, gaining dark-blue sections and procuring blade-like protrusions. The carapace he has on his head also changed, completely encasing his entire head except for his eyes, his mouth being covered behind something reminiscent of a visor, four spikes extend from his cranium and there is a large dark-blue section in the middle of his head.
"Not bad Saiyan trash, but this is where the fight ends," Cooler smugly said. Manami just scowled and charged Cooler once again, but was only met with a barrage of punches and kicks. On the last hit, Manami was sent flying away from him and toward the docks, but Cooler's counter attack is not done; he reappeared behind Manami, slammed her into a different direction before repeating the process two more times. The assault ended with Manami crashing into a nearby warehouse; Cooler materialized above it, gloating, "Any final words monkey?"
Manami realized that the only chance of beating Cooler was to transform; it doesn't matter right now that she's been hiding a few things from her friends and allies, but what does matter is that she works with them to bring down those that brought Cooler and the Ginyu Force here. Manami, as she picked herself up from the rubble, laughed as she retorts, "If you think our fight ends here then you are dead wrong. Emphasis on DEAD!"
The Hero of TokiToki then gave of bellowing roar, charging her power as much as she could; as her power rose, a blinding golden light surrounded her, forcing everyone at the docks to shield their eyes once more…
At the same time, somewhere nearby…
Weiss and Yang were almost to the docks; they rounded the corner to see their destination in sight, but when they did, they saw the docks in shambles; what's more is that a golden light was emanating from a destroyed warehouse. Weiss turned to Yang with concern and asked, "Do you think Ana's okay?"
Yang wasn't listening however because she knew what that golden light meant, Manami was transforming into a Super Saiyan; this frightened her, because if she transformed that means someone is strong enough to push her sister that far. However Yang was snapped out of her thoughts when Weiss put her hand on her shoulder. Yang said, "Come on! We need to go!"
She then ran to the docks with Weiss not to far behind, hoping that their friends and family were okay…
Back at the docks…
When the light died to a more tolerable level, everyone looked to see Manami transformed, floating above the rubble of the destroyed warehouse; physically, the only things that changed were her hair and her eyes. Her hair was now golden blonde instead of its usual raven-black and her eyes were now teal. As for her power, well its displayed through a powerful golden aura. Those at the docks were speechless at this revelation; Blake, Penny, and Sun were shocked to see that Manami could transform and on top of that they could feel her power roll off of her in waves. Ruby was in awe seeing her sister do this transformation once more, yet she could not help but feel frightened at how powerful the enemy was considering that Manami was pushed this far. Cooler however was still arrogant, saying, "So you do have the ability to become a Super Saiyan after all, unfortunately for you it won't be enough!"
Cooler charged at Manami again, throwing a punch right at her face; however she simply reached up and caught it without much effort. Manami retorts, "Won't know unless I try, besides I can't let a killer like you run rampant in timeline he doesn't belong!"
[Music Start – "Battle of Omega" by Hironobu Kageyama Dragon Ball Raging Blast OST]
Manami then kicked him sky high before she step-vanished and hit him with a hurricane of punches and kick; on the last hit she backflipped away, only to be followed by Cooler who tried to hit her with a tail sweep. The Super Saiyan however easily dodged it, leaving behind an afterimage and flowed into Vegeta's Finish Breaker technique, firing a barrage of Ki Blasts randomly in Cooler's direction. However, Cooler just tanked the attacks before he step-vanished and slammed her away and fired a Full Power Energy Blast Volley with all of blasts homing in on her. Manami however, quickly recovered and knocked all 18 away from her before she created a large ball of Ki; Cooler dashed toward Manami in an attempt to stop her, but she fired the blast at him whilst shouting…
"SUPER SPIRIT BALL!"
Cooler dodged the initial attack, still dashing toward Manami; however Manami redirected the Spirit Ball back at Cooler, knocking him off course and missed his chance to attack. Manami's Spirit Ball assault continued, hitting Cooler multiple times before it exploded on the final hit. From within the smoke however, Cooler fired a Full Power Energy Wave at Manami; unfortunately for the galactic warlord, countered with Ki blast of her own and called out…
"BIG BANG ATTACK!"
The two Ki attacks collided, struggling for dominance before they both exploded in a stalemate; Cooler, however, quickly dashed through the smoke and grabbed Manami by the neck before he gloats, "Most impressive display of power, Saiyan, but I'm still superior in power."
[Music Pause]
And Manami knew that he was right, but that was only because she held back too much in her earlier fights, weakening her and placing her in a corner. Cooler continued to gloat, "My employers for some reason feared you; I do not see why, you are just another monkey after all."
Cooler then tossed her back down to the docks, but before she even had a chance to recover, the warlord fired a beam at Manami keeping her from doing anything; he fired another finger blast at her causing an explosion and made her crashed back down onto the docks. Cooler then gathered a large amount of Ki condensing it into a ball above his right hand before it grew into a massive ball of energy. He announces, "Don't worry about the world, because my masters have plans for it. This blast will only wipe out this city!"
Ruby, Blake, Penny, and Sun were stunned at what Cooler said; Blake yelled out, "Is he really going throught with this!?"
"You mean wiping out an entire city!? I'm pretty sure all insane bad guys would do the same thing!" Sun answered.
"What the hell!?" A voice behind them shouted, they turned around to see both Weiss and Yang. "That monster is going to destroy all of Vale!?"
"We just said that!" Sun remarked.
"Ruby is Manami…?" Yang asked but didn't finished.
Ruby simply pointed to their sister, showing them that Manami was a Super Saiyan; she explains, "That monster up there was strong enough to force her to transform into a Super Saiyan!"
"Super Saiyan!?" Weiss and Blake yelled.
"Guys I think what's happening to Manami is more important," Penny pointed out; they all saw that as Manami stood up she was surrounded by a blue Aura, her soul reacting to this battle. Though the Super Saiyan didn't notice, the spirit of a warrior stood behind her; the man had hair that was reminiscent of a palm tree and he wore an orange gi with a blue undershirt, wrist bands, and boots. With the spirit following her every move, Manami took a final stand, even though Cooler was marginally stronger; she knew that it was do or die, because if she dies here no one will be able to stop Cooler's "masters." Once more, she charged up all the power she has for one more wave attack, cupping her hands to her side and chanting the infamous words…
"KA… ME…"
[Music Resume]
"It's too late for whatever attack you have! It will fail!" Cooler taunts. Manami ignored it however, continuing to concentrate her power into the infamous Turtle School technique…
"HA… ME…"
As he threw the Massive Ki blast at Manami, he shouts, "Out of my sight!"
At the same time, Manami fired the energy wave with the spirit of the warrior disappearing a few moments after, boosting her power as she yells…
"HAAAAA!"
The azure energy wave and the miniature red sun raced toward each other, colliding in a clash that would determine the fate of Vale. Surprised that this was a stalemate, Cooler yelled, "WHAT!?"
As for Manami, she dug deep and poured even more power into the Kamehameha Wave. The result was the azure energy wave punching through the Supernova, causing it to dissipate, and swallowed Cooler moments after; the tyrant screamed in pure agony as he was ripped apart at the molecular level.
[Music End]
When the Kamehameha wave dissipated, Manami fell to her knees before she dropped back to her base form, losing her golden aura as well as her eyes and hair returning to their onyx color. Right now she was battered, beaten, and bloodied from her consecutive fights; exhaustion was finally taking its toll on Manami, so much so that she didn't notice that everyone who witnessed the fight were approaching until she heard, "Ana!"
She looked to see all of Team RWBY along with Sun and Penny looking at her with concern. She gave them a pained smile and chuckled, "I look like hell, don't I?"
Most of them smiled, seeing that their friend and sister will be fine considering that she making a joke out of her condition. Blake and Weiss however had a few concerns, the latter deciding to voice them, "How could you be making a big joke out of this? The city was nearly destroyed! Not only that you received a lot of injuries!"
"But it wasn't, Weiss. Also did you forget that I saved an entire universe before today? And this isn't the worst thing I've been through; there are times where I nearly died during my time in the Time Patrol." Manami rebuts.
Weiss thought about what she said before admitting, "Okay you got me there…"
Manami noticed the way she hesitates and points out, "I take it that's not the only thing you wanted to see?"
The Schnee shook her head and answered, "You're words, although they did hurt, they rang true. I needed to change and after today's events it makes my problems seem a lot more smaller."
She then turned to Blake and said, "Blake, I apologize for everything I've said. It's just that I've my father had a rather… narrow point of view and raised me to be that way; I try to swallow my prideful ways but you can see how that turns out."
Blake smiled and reciprocated the same feeling, "I'm sorry as well, I was also out of line; I just hate it when the Faunus are targeted just because of what they are. I too was also raised in an… unhealthy environment; the founder of the White Fang, my father, wanted peace and equality between our two peoples but circumstances forced him to step down. That's why I care about this subject so much. Why I was hoping that the White Fang wasn't involved."
Then she felt a hand on her shoulder; when she turned to see who it was, she saw Yang smiling, "Well now you have us to help you with this mess."
Ruby then cheered, "Aw yeah! Team RWBY is back together!"
Manami smiled at her sister's antics but also at the fact they're growing up, slowly maturing into the Huntresses they were meant to be. However her smiled disappeared when Weiss announced, "However… there is still one more thing that needs to be taken care of…"
She then turned to Manami and helped her up, something that surprised up everyone, and then pulled one arm over her shoulder as well as wrapping her free arm around the Saiyan's waist before she said sternly, "You will explain what happened to you; from your transformation, to what you were fighting, and then finally who that man was that appeared next to you."
That caught Manami's attention, so she asked, "What man?"
Sun then explained, "When you were charging up that big blast, you were surrounded by blue aura right under your golden one; then a spirit of a man with palm-tree-like hair and an orange gi appeared right next to you."
Manami's eyes lit up in surprise at Sun's description, who then added, "I take it you know who that man is."
Manami nodded then said, "I'm sure you all want to know everything but let's wait until we meet with Ozpin. He does need to be informed of tonight."
Everyone nodded at this knowing that she was right. Ruby then looked around before she asked, "Hey where's Penny?"
They looked to around to see that she's gone, however Manami noticed what looked to be a limo from the corner of her eye and assumed that someone picked her up. The Saiyan of Remnant sighed, knowing that she and everyone with her are in for one hell of a battle… no a war. Manami thought, "I guess it's time to bring out everyone's potential sooner than I planned. On the plus side, however, I get to see some old friends very soon."
Headmaster's Office, Beacon Academy
Ozpin was watching a live feed of what was happening at the docks on his datapad, and even though he wore his usual stoic expression, he was frightened. Time Breakers, as Manami calls them, are here on Remnant and that would mean a whole new war was about to unfold, one that four kingdoms and the villages between had never seen the likes of before. His datapad beeped, indicating he received a message; he pressed the notification and saw it was from Qrow. It read, "Queen has pawns… and possibly a new ally…"
Ozpin quickly types and sends his message, "I know about the ally… our own queen engaged one of their pawns."
The headmaster just had one thought, "This war is about commence sooner than I expected."
Later, somewhere in Vale…
Roman Torchwick arrived at his base of operations, an abandoned warehouse, that he and some help appropriated it for he and his associate's purposes. He was carrying a single case of Dust, a reminder that his little heist at the docks had not gone according to plan. He placed it onto one of the empty tables nearby before sighing. Suddenly he heard a voice announce, "How very disappointing Roman."
The thief turned around after being startled; he chuckles, "Wasn't expecting to see you guys so soon."
A woman stepped out of the shadows. She had ashen-black hair and bright amber eyes, while her fingernails are painted dark red. She wears lipstick and violet eyeshadow. She also wears a dark-red, off-the-shoulders, v-neck mini dress with yellow designs. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip, at the top of an open portion of her dress. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees. While it isn't visible to Roman, there is a baseball diamond-shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her chest. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. She wears black shorts underneath her dress, as well as a black choker on her neck. She wears a gold loop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear. She has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes and a jeweled anklet on her right leg. On her upper back, in the keyhole of her dress, she has a black tattoo of what appears to be a pair of high heel shoes placed sole to sole, forming a heart shape inside. The woman remarks, "We were expecting… more from you."
Roman then adds nervously, "Hey, you were the ones who suggested working with those stupid mutts from the White Fang."
"And you will continue to do so," The woman said with authority as she created a fire in the palm of her left hand. She stepped closer to Roman, followed by four more associates. The first was a young man, he is appears to be a pale, well-built young man with gray eyes and hair that is partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He also wears a slate gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket, that covers his upper body. He also wears a single notched belt with what appears to be a sash or bandana draped over it. Protecting his arms are sets of rerebraces and vambraces. He wears black pants and a pair of combat boots to complete his outfit.
The Second was a young woman; she has medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair is a light, mint-green cut with a straight fringe and bangs, as well as two long locks on each side, in the back. She wears two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of high-heeled shoes. Her attire consisted of an intricate white top and a olive-colored shallow-cut crop top, on the back of which is her personal emblem. This emblem is in the shape of a cut gem, most likely referring to her name. She also wore a three-ring armband on her left arm and a string of beads near the same wrist. She also wears white pants and brown chaps that end at her calves and an overlong belt, twice-wrapped, where she keeps her weapons as well as a single pouch.
The third was a tall, muscular man; he was pale with blue skin and white hair, having a line on both cheeks that goes from the eyes until his jaw. Initially, he wears red clothing that covers all his body. Above it, he wears white armor with the symbol of the Time Breakers at the center of it and a brown strap around his neck. The man also wears cape-like pants covering his legs, leaving only a red pair of shoes to be visible. He also wears grey wristbands.
The fourth was another woman who had long white hair, light blue skin, and purple eyes. The left side of her hair is longer than the other and hangs in front of her chest. She has a golden infinity hair accessory that covers the back and both sides of her head. She wears gold earrings that resemble Potara's, earrings that are usually worn by Supreme Kais. She wears a red and black skin tight body suit that has a v shaped hole around her stomach, and has slits on the bottom half, exposing the bottom of her breasts. She wears a white open leg cape that is jagged at the bottom, and red and black high heels. She also carries a brown staff that has two golden points on each end.
The woman in the red mini-dress, then adds, "We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is a little cooperation…"
Time Vault, Age 853, Universe 13
Trunks was doing his duties as the Lead Time Patroller, keeping his eye on the scrolls of eternity for any major changes to history. After a few more minutes of doing so, he was about to leave to check on Akane; after all she did just tango with Fused Zamasu several days ago and she's still recovering. However that was put on hold as the Time Vault's communicator picked up a signal; Trunks ran back and answered, "Trunks here!"
"Hey Trunks, it's been awhile!" a familiar voice answered.
"Ana! Yeah, about six months. It's good to hear from you! How have you been?" Trunks replied cheerfully.
"To be honest with you, I've been better. And I wish I was contacting you under better circumstances," Manami said.
"Why? What's going on?" The half-Saiyan asked.
"The Ginyu Force and Cooler showed up. I fought them but I severely underestimated them and I nearly lost; worse they were given boosts in power that allowed them to challenge me at full power. Even Cooler was strong enough to hold his own when I was a Super Saiyan," Manami answered.
"What!? How is that possible? I've been keeping an eye on the Scrolls of Eternity. Nothing has changed," Trunks stated with worry.
"I don't know, but I do know one thing… I need help. 'Time Patrol' help…"
A/N: (0_0) ...Well that was a whole cluster of info bombs! You guys already know that Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury were bound to show up, but you weren't expecting to have some back up. It's a fools bet that you guys probably have an idea on who Demigra sent with them. It is a RWBY x Xenoverse crossover after all. Speaking of Back up... Yes, Trunks will be heading out to Remnant to help Manami, but sadly that won't happen until later, because the next several chapters are going into Volume 1.5 territory. What that mean? An original story arc, and a new character to be introduced! So look forward to that guys and gals. After all Manami hinted what it will involve at the end of the docks scene.
As for a certain scene with Manami's Aura activating... Yes that was her semblance activating. It will grow to be a powerful one but once she masters it, I'll give you its full capabilities. For now here is what Manami's semblance can do as of this chapter.
Semblance: Z-assist - At this stage, Manami's Semblance can only significantly boost her Ki Techniques. The more she trains with it however, the more powerful the boost will be and the more her semblance will evolve to become more powerful.
As promised here is a power level chart for chapters involving Major fights starting from the VERY beginning of the Volume 1 Arc for every character. (UPDATE: It's much cleaner now, however it no longer uses numbers due to the fact that the ambiguous number calculations are giving me a headache. Instead just a description of what kind of destruction they are capable of/what kind of damage they can take.)
