3 of 4 not really much to say except damn 25 chapters. totally did not expect to get here. I was already excited for 10 15 and 20 but this is something totally different especially sine this is my first fanfiction. So I hopw you enjoy this 25th chapter( didn't really do anything special though.) and ginger, honestly I'm suprised it took 24 chapters before some one called me out on Mortal Kombat. I've been playing MKX since it came out and is quite frankly my favorite game of all time. So when I decided to start writing all of the fighting is based off of the mortal Kombat style. Well i'm going to stop this tangent about MKX and just let you enjoy the chapter.
King Artashir grumbled angrily as he stared at Kiefer's splattered remains all over the floor. "Such a nuisance." The king mumbled. "Are you alright father." His
daughter, Allister's sister, asked. "All Is well Waen. I expected rough resistance from these fools, but I never expected one of my top dynami to be taken out."
The King explained. "Well, It's not as if this wasn't a pyrrhic victory for them. That girl looks like she'll be down for some time." When said, hoping to cheer
her father up slightly. The King merely shifted his shoulders, readjusting the massive battle axe that he had sheather. Waen sighed and stepped towards the
rest of her team.
Allister paced back and forward, anxious to fight. Yang was currently being attended to by the rest of team RWBY and Allister was ready to go out and get
some revenge. Despite Allister's building rage, he still needed to wait for the rest of the matches to be completed. Kenneth was currently standing in the ring,
across from another large male who had introduced himself as An Vos. Anvos was holding a large short sword and a massive circular shield. Kenneth walked
around Anvos, twirling his blades, looking for and opening. "You submit yourself to your death. How honorable." Anvos mocked. "Well, I do owe some people
some favors, and this will get us even. But, you've got another thing coming if you think I'm just going to roll over and play dead." Kenneth retorted. "Oh I
don't think… I know." With that snide comment from Canvas, Canvas spun around. Kenneth immediately fell to his knees and lowered his back allowing the
shield that Anvos swung with to pass cleanly over his head. Kenneth restored himself to his feet just in time to use both swords in a cross block against
Anvos's. The two warriors pushed blades. Kenneth let up slightly, preparing for a massive shove. At the last second, Kenneth through both of his blades to the
side causing Anvos's thrust to fly by it's target. Kenneth spun around and began slashing at Anvos. All of Kenneth's hits, However, were being absorbed by the
massive shield that Anvos, had covered his body with. Kenneth stopped slashing with both swords yet instead only reduced to 1. Kenneth put the hilt of his
2nd blade in his mouth while he used his free hand to load some ice dust into the swords chamber. Kenneth grabbed his blade and fired a frost beam down at
Anvos's feet. Despite the floor becoming more and more slippery each moment, Anvos still managed to hold his ground. Anvos stomped the ground, cracking
all of the ice. Anvos's rushed forward at surprising speeds. Kenneth hadn't even registered what was happening until he felt the shield make contact with his
face, and pretty much the rest of his body. Kenneth landed harshly on the other side of the arena. Kenneth immediately righted himself and loaded some
lightning dust before sending out violent bolts of electricity from his swords. Anvos allowed the electricity to arc through his body while he laughed. Kenneth,
realizing how futile his actions were, stopped his attack and took on a more defensive stance with fully loaded ice dust. Anvos made his way towards Kenneth.
With each step, Anvos made sure to look Kenneth dead in the eyes. Once Anvos was in range his put his shield in front of him to block and began swinging out
with his sword. It took all of the energy Kenneth could muster just to parry the swings, forget a counter attack. Eventually, an opportunity appeared to
present itself. After one particularly hard swing, Anvos managed to knock himself off balance. Kenneth spun behind Anvos and was about to bring his blades
down on Anvos's back, when Anvos's leg kicked out, slamming into Kenneth's chest. Kenneth's back hit the ground. Kenneth swung his sword, knocking away
Anvos's shield as he got back to his feet. Kenneth's swing flew high as Anvos ducked his head down. Anvos turned and slashed across Kenneth's chest.
Kenneth pushed through the hit and managed to drag his blades across Anvos's side. Anvos turned and slammed the edge of his shield on Kenneth's nose.
Kenneth barely flinched as he began attacking again. Anvos used his sword to parry the flurry of slashes and stabs from Kenneth. "You've got skill." Anvos
complimented. "But, not enough to win you this day." Kivotos smirked as he just kept swinging. "I have lot more than skill. I have an obligation to this team. I
may not be nearly the man I'm replacing but I still owe them my best to get as close as possible." Kenneth responded. "Foolish." Anvos mocked as he turned
and and brought his shield down on Kenneth's collar bone, breaking it. Kenneth staggered back, breathing through the pain.
"Oh!" Zade sympathized as he watched the blow connect with Kenneth. "Shit I hope our replacement doesn't die on his first mission." Allister said. "No, That
won't happen." Blake said from behind them. Allister and Zade turned and looked at Blake, waiting for an explanation. "I can't explain it, but Kenneth seems
familiar. Can't remember from where though." Blake answered. "Well maybe we can find out if he lives." Zade suggested, looking back at the staggering
fighter.
Kenneth calmly analyzed Anvos as the massive dynami advanced upon him. Anvos took a swing. Kenneth tried to instinctively raise his sword to block,
however, when he tried Kenneth felt the broken part of hi collarbone threaten to pierce into his neck. Kenneth was forced to drop his bock as the sword dug
deep into his side. Anvos pulled back with his shield and tried to crush Kenneth's skull. Kenneth, unbelieving, jumped up and landed on the shield. Kenneth
pushed off the shield and shoved both blades in Anvos's mouth. "You need to cool off." Kenneth said as he began firing a constant beam of frost into Anvos's
mouth. Anvos's head began to be covered in frost and then ice. Kenneth pulled the blades out of Anvos's mouth and slammed his head against An Vos's.
Anvos head, weakened by the frost, shattered into tiny pieces. Kenneth stepped backwards, before flinching at the pain in his chest. Zade quickly teleported
to Kenneth and teleported them back over to the group.
King Artashir stared across the arena directly at Allister and master Kogua. The king stalked over towards his next competitor. "Do Not lose." He whispered
darkly in his subordinates ear. "Yes your majesty." The dynami responded frankly. The dynami stepped forward into the arena. The king turned towards his
daughter. "If he should lose this fight. You will go and annihilate your brother and any who stand in our way." The king commanded. "Of course father."
Allister's sister agreed.
Allister smirked as the king slowly became more enraged. Allister turned around to look back at his group. "Ok so this guy is getting mad. We need to piss him
off further. Who want that honor?" Allister asked with a laugh. Wordlessly Max walked out towards the arena and donned Titan. "Ha that metal monstrosity
cannot replace real muscle." the dynami facing Max called out. Max simply ignored the man. "Titan… Execute." Max raised his arms to face his opponent as
the containment dust built in to Titan began to take affect. 3 assault rifles popped out of each arm, 2 heavy machine guns detached from Titan's back and
aimed at the dynami. Titan's forearms also opened and released 2 miniguns. The entire room fell silent at the awesome display of raw firepower. The silence
was pierced by the sound of gunfire and shells hitting the floor. Max fucking unloaded into the dynami. The dynami tried to raise his shield to block the
incoming barrage. The shield maybe lasted him 15 seconds before the bullets began tearing through his flesh. In about 45 seconds the dynami was made of
more lead than flesh. Max re holstered his weapons and walked away. Allister and Zade burst out laughing while the rest of the group's jaw just fucking
dropped. "No aura. No problem." Max declared. King Artashir Roared in primal rage and began running across the room, a large battle axe drawn. Allister
drew his daibo and rushed out to meet the king.
From that point on it was a goddamned mosh pit. Martial artists and dynamis were fighting all over the arena. Master Kogua had had Kenneth and Yang
carried to safety and was currently directing the other warriors from the academy. Max was engaged with two dynami dynamis. Max launched a grenade at
one of the advancing dynami's. The grenade slipped past the dynami's defenses and directly impacted his face, blowing the skin off. As the Dynami fell dead,
MAx turned towards the other one. "Shit." Max grunted as the Dynami got in closer than expected and dropped a sword on Titan's head, leaving a pretty
sizable dent. Max pushed the dynami away and prepared to begin unloading rounds when a red blur rushed past him. The blur stopped right in front of the
dynami and transformed back into Ruby. With a yell Ruby brought her scythe across the dynami's chest, slicing through bone and opening his abdomen. Ruby looked sick as her enemies internal organs spill out. Ruby was so mesmerized by her own horrid handywork that she didn't even notice the Dynami who was
about to drop his sword on her. "Ruby!" MAx yelled as he tackled the dynami. Max scrambled to his knees and fired a shotgun round directly into the dynami's
brain. MAx rushed back over to Ruby who had once again become absorbed in staring at the blood on her scythe. "Ruby." Max called getting her attention. As
Ruby turned to face Max he noticed the tears in her eyes. "Are you ok." Max asked tenderly. "I-I'm sorry. I just wanted to get him to back off. I didn't think
that I would kill him." Ruby said, beginning to cry. "Rubes. Don't cry. I know this may be hard to accept at the current moment but, you did what you thought
was right." Max explained. "How is what id did right?" Ruby yelled, questioningly. Suddenly, Zade appeared right next to them. "Look I'm all for this lovely
comfort and shit. But, now is not the time." Zade yelled, as he disappeared again. The moment he disappeared a blade slammed into the spot where he was
standing. Zade reappeared above the dynami. Zade slammed his scythes into the man's shoulders and flipped, ripping his arms clean off. Zade landed
casually and ran off into the fray. Max turned back to Ruby. "We can talk later, but remember this. If you've killed someone protecting someone else, than
never regret it. You should never allow your fear to take a loved one from you." Max finished as he turned around, punching a Dynamic straight in the nose.
As Max continued fighting Ruby looked down at her hands. Ruby smiled to herself and grabbed crescent rose, before running off after Max.
Across the room Pyrrha and Jaune we fighting as one unit. One would step up and use their shield to deflect a blow while the other would move in and attack
with their sword. However, despite their best efforts, they could not fall the enemy in front of the them. The Dynami laughed as he used his large shield to
block another incoming assault from Jaune. The dynami lunged forward and slammed it's shield on Jaune. Jaune stumbled backwards and Pyrrha ran in to
take his place. The two exchanged sword strikes until the dynami reared back and kicked pyrrha in the stomach. As Pyrrha rolled back across the ground
Jaune again stood in front of her. Jaune and the Dynami exchanged blows furiously. Jaune was barely managing to stay standing under the force of the
dynami's blows. Suddenly, Pyrrha's shield flew right past Jaune's head and slammed into the throat of the dynami. The dynami staggered backwards, holding
its throat and gasping for breath. Pyrrha used her magnetism to call her shield back as she ran forward. Pyrrha jumped forwards and jammed her spear
shallowly in the dynami's chest. Pyrrha converted her spear into its rifle form, the barrel point blank againt the dynami. The dynami yelled in pain as Pyrrha
fired a shot that lodged itself firmly in the dynami's sternum. Pyrrha landed and converted her rifle to a sword. Pyrrha and Jaune ran forward. Both of them
slid behind the dynami, slicing the tendons in the dynami's knees. The Dynami fell still clutching it's chest in pain. The dynami roared in searing pain as both
Jaune and Pyrrha jammed their blades between his ribs, each sword piercing one of his lungs. The dynami fell forward on his chest and began gasping for air
as the blood began spilling into his lungs. Pyrrha and Jaune just watched as the dynami choked on his own blood. "Whew, got him." Jaune stated. Jaune
looked over to Pyrrha, she was obviously shaken up. "Hey, are you ok?" Jaune asked carefully. "I- i never thought death could be so painful." Pyrrha
answered. "I know, but there nothing we could do about it. He's our enemy." Jaune responded. "Well, you seem oddly ok with this." Pyrrha responded. "Maybe
i should spend less time with Darron, even when he gets back huh." Jaune suggested, laughing nervously. "That would explain it." Pyrrha laughed. "Are you
sure you're ok though?" Jaune asked. "I'm fine. Just stay near me, ok." Pyrrha requested. Jaune nodded and the two of them stood back to back, shields
raised, and swords ready.
Kenneth laid next to Yang at the back of the arena as everyone was busy fighting. Kenneth rolled over and slowly crawled over twoards his blades, Kenneth
grabbed his blades and inserted some fire dust. Kenneth used one hand to activate the dust, while the other hand undid the bandaging around the deep cut
on his side. Once the bandages were removed, and the blade was red hot, Kenneth jammed the blade into his wound. Kenneth bit down sharply on his arm,
drawing blood, to prevent him from screaming out in agony. Kenneth pulled the blade away to reveal that the wound had been completely cauterized. One of
the students from the academy noticed and ran over, "What are you doing?!" He asked incredulously. "Getting back to my team." Kenneth answerd sharply.
Kenneth sat up on his knees and pointed his other, cooler blade againt his neck. Kenneth began to dig the blade into the area around his neck. Kenneth
continued to dig, painfully, until her revealed the broked section of collarbone. Kenneth manuvered the bone untill it was realtivly lines up with the rest of the
bone. Kenneth then used his blade to send out a frost beam and coat the entire area with ice. The student looked at Kenneth as if her had grown a 2nd, or
100th, head. "What. It keeps it in place, stops the bleeding, and is much less useless than a cast." Kenneth grabbed his heated blade and jumped to his feet.
Upon doing so Kenneth started to get dizzy and wobbled slightly. The student held his arms out, in the event that Kenneth were to fall over. Kenneth managed
to right himself. "I'm good but thanks." Kenneth thanked the student. Kenneth took a tentatie step forward, and upon realizing that he could walk, took off
into a sprint twoards the battle, swords drawn and ready to rend flesh.
Blake and Weiss were both using their semblance to dash around one of the dynami when suddenly Kenneth jummped on the woman's abdomen and jam his
swords through her face. As the woman fell backwards, Kenneth used the momentum to roll off her and rush at the next opponent. Blake and Weiss just
stared at him crazily. "Why is it. That whenever we meet anybody while there in the room that person turns out to be totally insane?" Weiss asked. "I guess
they just attract that kind of person." Blake asnwered. "Kind of person. You mean Crazy and suicidal." Weiss asked, disbelievingly. "Well, more like loyal and
determined but that to." Blake agreed. Suddenly both girls got a bad feeling. The girls spun around and raised their blades just in time to stop a dynami
sword. Weiss conjured a glyph under the man's feet and he sped bacwards falling on his face. As Blake and Weiss rushed froward, a fist shot out and knocked
Black backwards. Weiss set up a number of glyphs around the dynami and he made his way back to his feet. Weiss began to dash from glyph to glyph, slicing
along the dynami's chest with each pass. Weiss's eyes widened with fear as she felt the man grab a hold, just barely, of her foot. The dynami slammed Weiss
to the ground. Weiss bounced across the ground, as a result of the impact. Blake rushed forward and jumped up, kicking the dynami in the face with both
feet. The man decided to try and hammerfist Blake on her way down. At the last second Blake used her semblance to shift away leaving a burning shadow
clone in her wake. The dynami began waving his hand frantically to quell the burning on his hand. In his distraction Blake, and Weiss both continued to slash
at his hard skin. This time, they were able to make some progress as numerous shallow cuts started to bleed down his chest and back. Weiss was about to
make another pass when Blake grabbed her arm. Blake leaned in and whisphered her plan to Weiss. Weiss nodded and ran directly under the dynami. Weiss
summoned a glyph and suddenly a large ice block surrounded the Dynami's legs trapping him in place. As the dynami struggled to free himself, Weiss and
Blake ran in front of and behind him. Weiss summoned a glyph above each of their heads. Both girls jumped up and placed their feet on the glyphs. Weiss
activated the glyphs, which sent the girls rocketing forward. Weiss and Blake both made contact with the dynami, their blades piercing directly through his
heart. The dynami coughed up blood as the two girls drew their blades out. Weiss and Blake looked at each other as the dynami fell lifeless to the ground.
"Well that was rather… unsatisfactory." Weiss stated. "No kidding. I've never been one to take lives." Blake agreed. "Hmph. Come with the territory I guess."
Weiss concluded. "You've got to do what you got to do." Blake said as the two girls suddenly found themselves attacked by yet another foe.
Ren took off after Allister as soon as he ran off to meet his father in combat, but was soon lost in the see of massive bodies that are the dynami. Ren dashed
between fights, being careful to avoid any unnecesary altercations. From behind he suddenly heard a large explosion. Ren spun around to find a dynami falling
to the ground, with a gaping hole in its chest. Standing behind the fallen warrior was Nora. "Awe, I broke it. These guys are no fun." Nora said. Ren chuckled
at Nora's unceasing positive attitude, even in such morbid situations. "Maybe you're just to fun." Ren encouraged his partner. "That makes TOTAL sense Ren.
I'm going to teach these guys a little thing or two about having fun." Nora declared. "You go do that." Ren agreed, as he watched his childhood friend race
after new enemies. Ren turned and was immediately kicked in the side. Ren tumbled across the floor before coming to a stop. Ren looked up to see Allister's
sister standing above him. "So, you thought you would be able to assist the little reject in killing his father, huh." Waen stated. "Shame I won't let you." Ren
stood up, unsheathed storm flower, and cocked its guns. "Then you must perish." ren stated simply. Both fighters readied themselves, daring the other to
attack first, and knowing that only one would survive.
