SCENE 10
Team RWBY. A special team of four girls that have proven time and again they were more than worthy of being Huntresses and beyond. Taking on special beings, defeating god-like entities, saving the universe. If anything, they've shown they can be the best. Able to take on most people if it came down to a fight. Naturally, against lesser foes they would be victorious.
"So this is what it's like to be winning!" Of course fate seems to deem heroes can't always have a clean victory. Let aside a jiffy one. Otherwise Blake wouldn't have been smashed into the nearby wall leaving behind a large crack. Junior for once not minding the destruction he made. Only happy he could finally bring the beat down on these annoyances.
"That victory won't last long tiny!" Ruby taunted the man as she rushed at him with her ever lovely Crescent Rose. Swinging the back end toward Junior's head to knock him out. Only for the man to turn to smoke.
"Sike!" From behind Ruby came Mysterio himself, having tricked Ruby with his illusions while the real Junior was handling Yang. Ruby quickly reacted by shooting the scythe at the ground to launch her in the air. Mysterio quickly grabbed her leg and swung her to the nearest wall. All the customers inside now running not wanting to get involved. Leaving only Team RWBY, Junior, Mysterio, Fiona, and Melissa being the only ones inside.
"Robots attack!" That and Juniors bought machines. The bots then began striking at Yang in hopes to wear her down. The blonde brawler of course wouldn't be beaten so easily. Her fists flying as she slammed them in the machines torsos easily breaking them.
"Hah! How'd you like that Junior!" Yang mocked him.
"Just fine kid." Though it would seem the robots were only a distraction. Junior having knelt down with his club/missile launcher now aimed at her. With a smile and a click of a button the missiles headed right at her.
"Tch!" Yang clicked her tongue as she ran right at the missiles avoiding them.
"Stay still!" Meanwhile, Weiss was having her own problems. Mainly with the new adversary that is Fiona. While nowhere near as fast as a certain blue hedgehog, the mobian fox proved to be quick on her feet and very agile. Dodging her rapier strikes while also hitting her now and then.
"What's the matter princess, can't hit me!?" Fiona taunted the heiress. Growling, Weiss slammed her rapier into the ground and sent a wave of ice at the mobian. Fiona could tell she probably couldn't avoid it.
"Fiona, catch!" Turning her head, Fiona then saw her new boss throw her the Iso-8 shard at her, catching it with one hand. Then feeling the rush of power that came with it.
"Interesting." She said focusing the energy into her. Then like Sonic, she curled herself into a ball and used a Iso-8 empowered spin dash, breaking through the ice and slamming her ball form into Weiss, knocking the air out of her.
Currently three individual fights were going on. Ruby vs Mysterio, Yang vs Junior, and Weiss vs Fiona. Leaving just two individuals left.
"Ugh." Standing up, Blake felt her aura recover the hit Junior gave he and then saw the current battles. "I better get in and help one of-?" Then she noticed on the bar is Melissa herself, the strange Grimm look alike girl. Who is….eating?
"..." Seeing as the girl isn't really doing anything, Blake figured she may as well leave her alone. Instead jumping to help her nearest friend.
"Take this Ruby. I'm gonna-Ow!" Mysterio instantly felt a bunch of bullets spraying at him. Blake having intervened stopping Mysterio's plans for Ruby.
"Thanks Blake!" Ruby said to her friend as she took this moment to her advantage. Swinging the scythe and slamming the blunt in into Mysterio's stomach. Of course she didn't stop there, because she then began spinning herself along with both Crescent Rose and Mysterio. The illusion master now feeling rather queasy.
"Oohhh-Stop-Stop it!" He commanded.
"Sure.' Ruby said as she then stopped, sending Mysterio flying straight to the battle going on between Yang, Blake, and Junior. The two double teaming against him making it a bit difficult for him to properly attack. Still, he did well having his guard up.
"So this is what it's like holding my ground." Junior said amazed by how easy it was to defend against the duo's attacks. Yangs usual strong punches unable to harm Juniors amplified aura thanks to the Iso-8 shard he had earlier. Blake also in the same position, forced to use her shadow clones to avoid a club to the face.
"Keep thinking that Junior. I'll take you down that high horse." Yang declared cockily ready to sock that smug look of him. She then saw Mysterio heading right at them and had a idea, looking at the cat faunus who nodded having the same idea. "Blake! Go for it!"
"Got it." Blake then appeared to Junior and used the ribbon part of her weapon to tied him up. His arms bound with him dropping his weapon. Using his immobile state Yang launched herself at him, her left arm held back then socked him extra hard on the face sending him flying as well. The club owner punched right onto Mysterio's own path, making the two crash into each other painfully.
"Ow…"
"This sucks." The two were now entangled unable to move for a bit. Junior now sporting a nasty bruise on his cheek which is slowly healing. The two were now out for the count leaving only Fiona herself. Who soon noticed her downed allies and saw all four members of Team RWBY against her.
"Oh you gotta be kidding me." She muttered to herself. Fiona is a extraordinary combatant, having trained quite well to the point she's better than a Huntress-in-Training. To bad these girls proved to be beyond that.
"Give it up furball." Yang commanded to the mobian, though wouldn't be upset if she fought back. Having a slight interest in fighting against her.
"You're outnumbered, give up." Weiss simply told her. "If you cooperate you might have a lesser sentence then those two."
"Tch!" Fiona had to admit, she didn't exactly like these odds and it is likely she would lose. But no way was she going to just give up just because these humans told her to. She still owed Junior a debt for taking her in and also had to much pride to just accept defeat so easily. So maybe she needed a game changer.
"Didn't want to do this, but may as well give you guys a few good bruises before I go." She said menacingly with a smile. Seeing that smile, the girls knew she wasn't giving in and raised their weapons. Expecting the unexpected. To bad what they witnessed next wasn't what they expected.
The Iso-8 shard in Fiona's hands began glowing brightly, then slowly fading as the light started being sucked out, the energy seemingly entering her body. Her veins glew a bright white as it absorbed the dimensional energy. Team RWBY then sensing not just the Iso-8 power, but also an aura. One that was being amplified quite a bit.
"Woah! What the heck is she doing!?" Mysterio asked his downed ally Junior.
"Oh that." He said already knowing what Fiona is doing. "She's absorbing the energy from the crystal shard. See, I unlocked her aura a while ago, and she gained a semblance a bit after. One that allows her to take in energy and use it to 'strengthen' her own body."
"She has a semblance!? No fair!" Mysterio whined seeing the cruelty of the world. "But, then why didn't she use this earlier?" He then asked.
"That, well, because after she finishes using that 'boosted' power, she becomes exhausted." Well, that did make some sense. Mysterio didn't know to much about semblances, but he heard that some can make a person exhausted depending on how much one uses it. Like Yang how even if she can double the damage, her body is still harmed and beaten when that happens. Had it not been for her recent training from other heroes, she may not have been able to stand as easily as she does now.
"In any case, get ready for a light show." Junior told Mysterio, as true to his words, the mobian fox started glowing a red aura that surrounded her body. Then..she vanished.
"Where'd she-" Weiss couldn't finish her sentence as Ruby then stood in front of her.
"Watch out!" She said raising Crescent Rose as a shield in a quick second. A nick of time to since from nowhere Fiona had attempted to slam her boot in Weiss's face, only stopped by Ruby's defense.
"Oh. A tracker are you." Fiona smirked as she then vanished again. Ruby quickly rushing to Blake's side once more defending against Fiona's attack. Though she could hear her beloved weapon make a slight noise as the force of impact Fiona made rattled Crescent Rose's interior.
Not wanting her friends to get hurt, Ruby then sped herself up with her own speed semblance leaving behind a trail of roses. The girls and two villains watching as the two fighters appeared and disappeared in quick succession. Their eyes barely able to see what they're doing.
"What's going on!?" Yang asked unsure what just happened with Fiona. Weiss of course had the answer to it as she tracked the two speedsters fighting.
"Looks like Fiona sped herself up with the Iso-8 crystal." She concluded as Fiona is indeed a lot more faster than she should have been. Most likely it's a semblance at work.
"Okay, but then how is Ruby even able to defend?" This time Blake answered.
"I heard from Quick Silver once how Speedsters can perceive the world a bit differently." She explained. "Ruby may not be as fast like Sonic or Quick Silver, but she's still able to perceive the world differently like them." Though it would seem Fiona had the greater speed as she soon began overcoming Ruby.
The young student unable to even hit her while Fiona gave her small but many strikes. "What's the matter kid, can't keep up?"
"Yeah right!" Ruby shouted as she tried speeding up further.
"That's right Ruby, show her who's boss!" Yang encouraged her sister.
"Show that girl why your the leader of Team RWBY!" Weiss joined in.
"Come on Ruby, do it!" Even Blake cheered for her.
"Such a good show." They then paused upon hearing Mysterio's voice and turned to face him. Only instead to face a giant club that slammed into them all sending them into the nearby pillar.
"Yeah baby!" Junior relished this rare chance of victory. He can't believe those morons let their guard down.
"Heyah!" Came a scream.
"Oh crap." Shame what Junior did is really the equivalent of kicking a violent dog, or in this case, a angry Yang. Who mercilessly punched Junior so hard he was out cold just like that. His unconscious body crashing into multiple tables with a few bone fractures here and there.
"Junior!" Fiona said noticing her boss being beaten down. This small distraction though served as a necessary part for Ruby to get the jump on her. Turning Crescent Rose into a rifle, she then inserted a strong Dust bullet in it and shot it out full force. Like Junior, she also went unconscious as she fell with a thud. Her powers now vanishing.
Leaving only one man left to face them.
"...sup…" The girls then began shooting at Mysterio, with many of the bullets hitting his body full force. "Ahhhh-Owww-Whyyyyyy!" Rather mercilessly to, Blake especially.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, Mysterio's own aura aides in healing him. Though since the girls weren't stopping any time soon, his healing is worth jack squat as he's still taking damage. Painful damage to be precise.
'Ah man, wh-ow!-what do-ow! I do! Ow! Ow! Ow!' No ideas really came to mind. Not like he could in these circumstances, his brain to filled up with pain to think of anything useful.
"This is it Mysterio!" Ruby shouted as she continued firing her bullets. "You, Junior, Fiona, and even that...girl(?) are coming with us." Girl? That's it!
"Melissa!" He shouted turning to face the girl, who by the way is still freaking eating despite the battle that had happened a while ago.
"Hm? Yeah?" She said so nonchalantly as if his current predicament wasn't worth mentioning.
"A little help!" The minute he said that the girls of RWBY soon narrowed their gaze at this Grimm girl. According to Blake the girl had been with Mysterio back at her home. Not to mention while younger with a few differences, this girl had similarities to Salem indicating she must be some form of human Grimm. Thus it was best to deal with her as quickly as possible.
"You guys take care of bubblehead! I'll handle Salem wannabe!" Yang told her teammates wanting to take out the risk factor quickly. Ignoring Weiss's cry that it was a bad idea. Yang rushing at the strange girl ready to knock her out before she became a problem.
Bang!
"Ugh!" Only for her to be launched into another pillar, entering a small daze.
"Um...I guess I'll help." Melissa said deciding to join reluctantly. Ruby, Weiss, and Blake stopping their attacks on Mysterio, to focused on how this strange girl actually punched Yang so easily.
"Guys, get ready to-" Ruby attempted to say something, but couldn't as with speed that rivaled an Olympian the Grimm girl was soon in front of them. Then she screeched.
"Scraaaa!" It wasn't so much as a ear splitting screech, but more so like a voice that seemed to just drain them. Suddenly feeling tired like their motivation for the battle was just lost.
"What...is this…?" Blake muttered before she and the others fell onto their knees.
"Oof!" Even Mysterio felt the screech affecting him. His will, his mind slowly entering a deep slumber. Like everything was just to tiring to do. The illusionist eyes closing wanting to just rest.
"I'm done." Only for Melissa to stop her will draining screech, allowing everyone to return to their senses. Though Team RWBY were still a bit out there, sleepyish. Melissa walking up to Mysterio and then slapping him wide awake.
"Ow!" That stung a little, but at least he's in a better position than those brats. 'In which I can probably torture them a bit.' He came here to relax, not fight. His thoughts now wondering what nightmare he can have them see.
"People are coming." Melissa then points outside where Mysterio then looks up seeing some people heading their way. Particularly people in blue indicating the police have arrived. Someone must have tipped them off. So much for vengeance.
"Tch! Come on Melissa, we're out of here." Grabbing the girl, Mysterio then used his illusions to make them disappear. For Team RWBY, they also left once they shook off the will draining effect and noticed the cops. Normally they would stay and have put Junior in jail, but sadly if one looked around, it would seem like they were the ones that caused trouble. Not to mention even if the police knew about Juniors dealings, they had no proof at all.
As such they reluctantly left before the cops came. Last thing they needed was to be held up by the police when trouble is looming around the corner. Leaving behind the unconscious Junior and Fiona. With the former who would soon wake up, be stuck in jail for an entire day talking, and then have to waste a lot of funds repairing his club again. Today wasn't his day.
Yep, stuck in jail won't be happy to anybody. Also, there was another reason Team RWBY had to leave. Because while they are heroes, and according to KingFrancisX they do have special passes that allow them to enter certain places, it's only when a crime scene is happening. As unless a crime is happening, teenage heroes like Team RWBY will be unallowed to enter certain age restricted places like Juniors clubs otherwise it'd be an abuse of their authority, even as D-Avengers. So you could say nobody really won anyway in this battle, more of a tie. Except Junior, he lost.
Also you all saw a glimpse of Melissa's power, who easily punched Yang without trying. As mentioned, Melissa is more or less a super Grimm that isn't like a normal one at all. She would definitely be a huge threat were it not for her inexperience and current personality. Hope you all enjoyed the fight, until next time.
