For those who haven't noticed, this is the 2nd chapter I've released today. So two chapter release today, be sure to read the other chapter and review if you can XD. You don't want to miss out on it!
Approximately 20 minutes before arrow shot. 2 hours later after being blasted off.
"Ugh..," moaned Jaune as he woke up. He looked around to see that he had somehow crashed through the skylight of an empty furniture showroom and onto what seemed to be a huge bed that was a bit too hard for his taste. Luckily there were only a few shards of glass in him, which he yanked out rather easily, but it could have been a comfier landing, especially considering a large crate of pillows had been right next to the bed.
"Talk about your luck," commented Othim, "If it wasn't for the soft landing, you'd have died."
"Indeed," said Aryz, "Are you alright? Do you feel anything wrong? You were unconscious for about 20 minutes. Not to mention you did fall through a rather hard pane of glass and hit some support beams on your way down."
"Just sore, not to mention a pounding headache," replied Jaune as he got back up. He forced himself off of the bed and onto the floor of the building and grabbed the edge of the bed to keep himself steady. His shield had somehow stayed on his back, as did his sword and sheath in his belt. He was bleeding lightly all around, as there were some bloodstains on his hoodie. He checked his Scroll just to see it was shattered.
"Damn, not again," groaned Jaune, "This is going to be a hassle. I can't even tell my friends I'm alright. Not to mention my aura's shot because of that stupid blast."
He quickly patched himself up before looking up, seeing Aryz's summarization of his landing had been accurate, and he was lucky the skylight was some years old and that apparently upon falling on the girders, he landed back first, letting his shield take the impact. Some nails had scratched his face and arms, though.
"Jaune. Remember the seeds from the cave back in Sanus?" asked Alaerth suddenly.
"Yeah, you guys wouldn't tell me what they do."
"For good reason," replied Ryo-Wo, "They are called Dragon Seeds. One of those seeds, once consumed, will fully restore your Aura. However, there are some side effects to using these seeds."
"Such as what?" Jaune asked carefully.
"Well, for one thing, your instincts will become more like a dragon, and you could make rather rash decisions," explained Andusk, "Emotions will get the better of you quite easily. You will feel pain like no other as your wounds heal. However, since we had you meditate for quite a bit over the years, you should be able to control yourself a little better. Another one is 12 hours after consumption, you will be unconscious for a good 48 hours to heal everything back up naturally. Not only that, but you're also using a bit of your life force to forcefully restore your Aura. So it does shorten your life a little,"
"The only problem is what happens after," grumbled Lung Wang.
"Bah, he can't complain about the last part," muttered Othim.
"For a lack of a better term, you will go into heat after the battle," grumbled Fafnir.
"What?" Jaune deadpanned.
"You will find it almost impossible not to find someone to bed with, whether it be your mate or not. All that fighting will accelerate your blood and internal body temperature to its highest. Diving into cold ocean water does not help, past Dragon Clan members have tried so," sighed Aryz.
"It is essential that you find your mate right after the battle," continued Lung Wang, "Seek out the one that is willing to bed with you. Most likely Pyrrha Nikos, Yang Xiao Long, or Blake Belladonna. They seem to be the one most willing to do so right now. If you do not, you may end up with someone you don't know. And I'm pretty sure from human perspectives that you want to lose your virginity to someone you love."
Jaune could only gulp at that last part before reaching into his bag behind him. It had miraculously survived. He quickly ate some food for energy and water before grabbing out the bag of seeds. He took one out and looked at it. It was red, like blood and dark blue vein-like roots going up to the tip, with a bit of yellow mixed in.
"These seeds can be used to grow more, but the requirements to do so is pretty demanding," commented Fafnir, "So make sure that if you do use it in the future, that you keep a few aside to regrow."
Jaune took a deep breath and ate it. Instantly, he felt rejuvenated. All his wounds were healing, his Aura reserves replenishing. At the same time, he felt his instincts going wild. His body temperature shot up. Jaune gasped out in pain as he fell to his knees, trying to control himself. He could feel his wounds burn as they healed as if someone was driving hot knives into them. His own nerves felt like someone was driving in needles into them. Quickly, he took a meditative stance, trying to calm himself down. While doing so, he decided it was time. So many things were happening right now. Were his friends all right? Were his mates safe? He would have to make sure the answer would be yes to all those, or there would be hell to pay. So he began to use the full immersion links, linking up to all seven dragons at once. It was rather risky, as he still hadn't properly even mastered 4 of them, but right now he needed every ounce of power he could get.
As he started to link up with each one of his dragons, he could feel himself almost losing control of himself within the swirl of power. And yet, he managed to stay anchored to himself. To not drown in its power.
"Interesting," commented Fafnir as he was linking up Jaune, trying to make sure he was still himself, as were all the other dragons., "I can sense Sun using my power. And it has become the catalyst in reviving a very old legend. I remember seeing the said legend. He was very powerful for just a mortal. Truly, he earned the title Great Sage, compatible with all those other so-called gods."
"I remember that," laughed Lung Wang, "He once tried to fight us dragons before. He did pretty well before he lost. But still, we recognized him as someone worthy of respect."
Jaune knew that they were doing this so to distract him from drowning in their power. Nineteen minutes later, he felt as though something was wrong. He had just successfully linked up with all his dragons. But the time it took was too long. His usual full immersion link with three dragons and below took him about 5 minutes. For it to take this long meant he still had ways to go. But he could feel phantom pains for some reason. His lower right arm tingled. His left hip felt irritated. His right shoulder itched. His head ached, although he contributed that to trying to link up with his dragons. Suddenly, he felt as though his chest had been shot. He opened his eyes at this. He couldn't breathe. He instinctively knew that his mates were in trouble. Jaune quickly stood up, expanding golden feathery wings, using Alaerth and Aryz. He flew up into the sky, looking around and noticed he was actually in Mt. Glenn. He had fallen quite far from Vale. He looked for Beacon tower and saw a Grimm dragon nesting there.
"That Grimm," growled Aryz, "I recognize that hatchling thief. To think it's still alive! That fake dragon must DIE!"
Jaune shivered at this. Aryz had always been the kind one, so to hear her like this was unsettling.
"Jaune, one of the golden rules for nesting mother dragons is... don't even think about stealing her eggs or babies. Aryz is one of the fiercest mothers, despite her kind attitude," said Lung Wang seriously.
Jaune nodded and flew towards the tower. He created a sonic boom as he did so. When he got to the tower, he felt Aura signatures he recognized and looked at them just to feel his heart stop. What he saw angered him, and also skyrocketed the rage of all the dragons.
Ruby, bleeding from her head.
Dew with her hand over her right shoulder to stem the bleeding.
Blake, with an injury to her left hip.
Weiss fighting her her life against a Mutant Boartusk.
Yang, missing her right arm.
Sun, wearing armor and dealing with a Mutant Beringel, but missing several pieces of his armor as well as bleeding.
Ren, fighting a Mutant Ursa with just his bare hands as he had ran out of bullets, and the blades on Stormflower broken.
Nora, dealing with a Mutant Beoyeti, slamming her hammer down at its body hoping to do some damage.
Junior slamming his bat at a Mutant Beowolf.
DSC and SSN were trying to fend off a pair of mutated King Taijitus that came late in the battle, both teams taking both heads, their clothes in disarray and badly hurt, with Onyx looking like he was going to faint from using too much aura on healing the injured in the medbay
His friends, trying to fight for their lives to save others. Junior's men, shooting and trying to dissuade other minor Grimm from joining.
His teachers, trying to deal with the Mutant Goliath and Deathstalker.
His sisters, fighting off Elite members of the White Fang, with Winter fighting a 2v1 against the White Fang Lieutenant and his lacky.
Taiyang, dealing with other Apha Grimm that had wandered in.
Qrow trying to murder a scorpion Faunus, who seemed to think it was just all a game.
Raven, with murderous rage, and yet completely in control, fighting Adam as he boasted that he would finish what he had done to Yang, and that she would meet the same fate as the red-headed bitch.
He noticed that Pyrrha wasn't amongst the crowd, and quickly looked around and found her at Beacon Tower.
His heart stopped at what he saw.
Pyrrha was kneeling at the tower… with an arrow to her chest.
As she kneeled there, looking into death's door, Jaune saw Cinder approaching her, with Emerald and Mercury watching, one recording what was happening, and the other just smirking.
He would not stand for this. He WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!
"That… woman..." growled Lung Wang.
"Is trying..." continued Ryo-Wo in fierce anger.
"To kill..." huffed Fafnir in rage.
"Your mate!" roared Othim.
"Show them..." scowled Andusk.
"What it means..." announced Alaerth in fury.
"To steal..." shouted Aryz with animosity.
"FROM A DRAGON! PUNISH HER FOR CAUSING ALL THIS PAIN TO YOUR MATES AND FRIENDS!" roared all seven dragons at once, their rage hitting past critical.
Jaune took a deep breath and roared in anger, letting it all go. Letting all his enemies know what they had just provoked. Just what they had just done. And to show them what will happen. He let his Aura fluctuate so everybody could feel it. Just what they were going to deal with. This was the roar of an ancient one whose anger had reached critical. The roar of someone who had seen someone commit a terrible crime against it. The roar of fury of a loved one being taken away. The roar of an angry dragon!
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Jaune's roar didn't even sound human anymore. Will his full immersion, it sounded like a dragon's roar.
Adam was getting ready to strike at Raven, who had drawn her multi Dust Sword, shifting her position so that her weapon seemed like she was dragging it on the ground. Her body was positioned so her right side was facing Adam.
Qrow and Tyrian were panting. Both had their Auras drained, but Qrow was still pushing on. For years, he had secretly searched for the one who killed his wife, Summer. And now he was right here in front of him. There was no way he was going to let this opportunity pass. Sure, Ruby and Yang might have questions for him, but it would be worth it to drag him to the grave, even at the cost of his own life. The girls were strong enough. They had Taiyang.
Suddenly, all the fighting stopped when they heard the roar. Even the Mutant Grimm stopped fighting in fear, as did the White Fang. For the other side, it was fearsome and yet protective. Ren could only smile as he looked up, knowing just who it was.
"Renny! Is that who I think it is?" asked Nora.
Ren smiled and nodded before saying "I knew you wouldn't die so easily," grinned Ren.
"Damn, and here I thought I yelled loud when I'm pissed," muttered Soul as half his face was covered in his semblances dark aura making him have a two faced look considering his aura was low.
"Ditto, only I don't think my vocal cords would handle trying to copy that roar, I'd go mute!" stated Coral, who's part of his mark was chipped off where you could see strands of Aqua colored hair and an orange colored eye on the right side of his face
"I swear if Sun knows what that Roar is as well, we're seriously gonna have to talk to him about not keeping secrets from his team!" Shouted Neptune as his goggles lenses were cracked, and his hair was a mess, his other two teammates couldn't help but agree before looking towards the sky shocked to see what was making that roar.
Dandy whose Afro had a hole in its side giving it a crescent moon like look considering the mutated King Taijiu could apparently spit acid in its mutated form, was huffing and puffy while having a sly grin "Seems you're more than meets the eye...heheh..show em how Groovy you really can be." Dandy said after looking up to the sky upon hearing the roar, as did the rest of his own team.
Everyone at the Beacon courtyard looked up to the source.
At Vale, in the safety zone, CRDL, CFVY and a few other teams were making sure the safety zone was safe, dealing with stray Grimm when they heard the roar. They saw the Grimm stop in fear. For once, the manifestation of fear had something to fear. Seeing the opportunity, they quickly wiped them out.
"What's making that roaring?" shivered Velvet, her ears bending down.
"Another Grimm monster!?" shrieked Russel.
"I do not know, but I can tell you this," answered Yatsuhashi, although his voice was also quivering, "The one who is doing it is furious. His anger threshold has burst open."
"Hold on, I'll take a look with my scope," said May, zooming in to whoever was roaring. She quickly found someone in the sky and zoomed in closer before her eye opened wide. "Holy crap. It's… it's J-"
Cinder had been ready to disperse Pyrrha into dust when she heard the roar. So did Emerald and Mercury, both of whom collapsed onto their knees in fear.
Cinder received the worst of it; she could feel all this anger while being directed in all of Vale, was concentrated on her.
She didn't know what was going on!
Whose anger could be affecting her like this?! She had the Fall Maiden's Power! She had a Grimm dragon on her side! She had been taught by Salem, the most powerful woman she ever met. And yet, all of this was dwarfed by this new player. She had awoken something far more ancient. The three of them looked in the same direction, to the source of the sound.
Pyrrha, who felt her life fading, could only smile. She knew who that was, and was thankful he was alive, and that he be able to continue his life. Her only regret was that she wouldn't be there to share it with him.
The Grimm dragon was terrified. It remembered in the past, how it provoked the real dragons. Of how it was forced to flee from their wrath in terror. That its own creator could do nothing but bow to their power.
"JAUNE!" shouted everyone who knew him and was his friend. They were relieved to see him alive. To seem him well ready to fight.
Vlad, who was awake, was glaring at Jaune. That pest would not die!
"Father, that's enough."
He turned to see Aurelian, looking tired.
"He has already stated that he is not interested in the Arc family. That he would deny he is related to the Arcs. There's no point in continuing this grudge."
Vlad merely sneered and looked away. That boy did not deserve so much power! He would bend Jaune under his will one way or another. He would have him father children before killing him, taking the power for the Arc clan!
Cinder gaped at the flying Jaune, who had yellow feathery wings now.
"How?! He's the angel and the devil!?" shouted Mercury.
Before anyone could respond, the Grimm dragon screeched and flew towards Jaune, hoping that this human was merely faking the dragon's energy signature. That it wasn't powerful enough. It had to squash the threat before it was too late.
"Watch out!" shouted Saffron in worry.
There really wasn't any need. Jaune's wings changed. He now had eight wings. Two red-scaled, two yellow scaled, two green feathery, one black scaled and one white scaled. All were smaller than his usual wing style, but still enabling him all the abilities of each Dragon King. His skin gave off what seemed to be a scaly look, with tints of blue and brown.
Jaune roared loudly once more before flying straight at the Grimm dragon, creating a sonic boom. The Grimm dragon didn't have time to react as Jaune, his fists glowing with immense power, punched it in the face, sending it flying into the Emerald Forest. Trees upheaved into the air as the Grimm Dragon slide on the ground.
Torchwick gaped at this display of power. Junior noticed before chuckling at him, catching his attention.
"I told you. I'm already on the winning side."
Torchwick could only mumble about his luck as he continued to watch, with Neo by his side, who was now awake, intrigued by the power Jaune had, she wondered if he was by chance hiring.
Jaune landed right behind Pyrrha after he punched the Grimm dragon. He spat at the sight of the creature struggling to recover. That Grimm was nothing like the dragons he was contracted with.
Cinder shook as she saw him, standing right there. She took a deep breath, hoping that somehow, she could seduce him to her side. Emerald had been scared so much that her Scroll was unintentionally recording everything, including Cinder's face.
"Hello, Jaune," purred Cinder, "It's good to s-"
She didn't get to finish as Jaune grabbed her head with his right hand. Cinder gasped, trying to remove his hand before channeling her Aura to throw a fire blast at him. Jaune had no plans to take it, and with a roar, lifted her up and threw out of the tower, flying like a meteorite, right towards where Adam was. He would take care of her later, along with Adam.
Emerald and Mercury could only gape at this. Cinder, their leader, a Fall Maiden, had just been tossed like a ragdoll. Mercury started to run forward, doing a jump kick at him. Jaune caught his leg and began to spin him like a rope,
"Stop! I'll hu URP!" shouted Mercury before he had to close his mouth in fear of hurling. Jaune then threw him right after Cinder.
Emerald quickly used her Semblance, make a hallucination that she was going left when in reality she was going right.
'Almost out of here,' thought Emerald when she noticed something that horrified her. Jaune was staring at her, not her hallucination.
'It's not working!?' screamed Emerald in her mind. Jaune slowly stepped towards her.
"Ummm, I can leave if you want!" stammered Emerald, "No need to throw me off like the other two. Right?"
"Sure you can," smiled Jaune, causing Emerald to lower her guard. He then disappeared from her sight. A second later, an uppercut from Jaune smashed into Emerald's jaw, sending her into the air. Jaune didn't stop there. He grabbed her legs and threw her away from the tower, right towards where he had thrown Mercury. Emerald's Scroll, which she had been holding, was launched up into the air as landed at one of the walls still standing, still recording and giving a perfect view of Pyrrha.
Jaune quickly ran over to Pyrrha, and knelt down next to her, taking her into his arms, gazing into her eyes in worry.
"Hang on. You'll be alright," whispered Jaune.
"Don't … lie," coughed Pyrrha, "I'm dying... I'm sorry I couldn't go on further... But promise me this... You'll remember me... And find someone who will take …. my marks. Don't leave your dragons hanging. Jaune, I… I love you…"
At this last sentence, she spat out blood. She could feel her life fading away. Her last thoughts were that at least she got to see Jaune.
"No," replied Jaune strongly, "You'll live through this. I promised I'd save you. And I'm not breaking it."
With a roar, his wings changed to Alaerth's wings, with brown scales on his body, and bit her on the left side of her chest, right where her heart was. At once, his Aura glowed around his body. Two colors glowed brilliantly, brown and yellow. The two colors merged, becoming bronze, and was slowly transferring from Jaune's body to Pyrrha's, causing her to twitch from a surge of Aura being poured into her body.
Cinder had landed in a newly made crater, just inches from Adam. She shook her head at the sudden throw. She had created a flaming barrier just before she crashed, so she was unharmed. She looked back to the tower to notice Mercury coming right towards the same location. Mercury had quickly adjusted himself and blasting as many shots as he could to kill the momentum. It was just barely that he managed to do it to a manageable level that he could just roll upon landing. After landing, he quickly went onto his knees and threw up.
As he got up, he was just in time to have Emerald crash into him, forming another crater beneath them.
"Owwww," groaned Mercury.
"Shut up," grunted Emerald as she got up. She had felt her Aura shatter after that impact. If it wasn't for Mercury acting as her cushion, she was sure there would've been much more severe injuries.
"Well, well. Not so mighty now are you?" taunted Adam, keeping his eye on Raven. For now, they were sitting at a stalemate, uncertain what to do now, "You couldn't even kill Ozpin."
"What are you talking about?" growled Cinder, "I left him crushed under tons of rocks."
"Then who is that?"
She turned to where Adam had pointed to see Ozpin quite alive, although heavily bandaged and protecting anyone injured with his barrier while Onyx kept on healing, even giving Ozpin an aura boost so he could keep the shield up more longer.
"Can't seem to kill anyone correctly," shrugged Tyrian nonchalantly, "Though I will admit, the girl should be good as dead."
The teachers of Beacon could only growl and look away in shame. They had failed to protect their students.
"I doubt it," grinned Junior, overhearing Tyrian, "Young master won't let her life end like this. In fact, look at the screen right now!"
They all did so, noticing that the broadcast was still on them. Emerald looked for her Scroll before remembering letting it go after being kicked.
They looked just in time to see Jaune biting onto Pyrrha's chest, where her heart was.
"What the hell is he doing?" shouted Leonidas. Was Jaune seriously love biting his daughter's breast as she was dying?! Jaune better have a good reason why because he will surely bring Tartarus to Jaune if he was just doing that just for his own pleasure!
"Wait, look carefully, brother," stated Hephaestus which quickly calmed Leonidas' rage that was building.
The Nikkos family looked closely at the broadcast and gasped.
"Is he nuts? Why is he giving her a love bite at this time!?" shouted Bolin.
"Wait, look at her chest!" gasped Coco.
Everyone watching the broadcast could only stare in awe at the miracle that was happening.
Pyrrha felt his Aura rushing into hers, mixing and growing. Jaune had his right hand on the arrow and was slowly pulling it out. As soon as it came out of her chest, the wound began to close and Jaune crushed the arrow into dust, so as not to be reminded of what happened. Then his right hand trailed down to her right ankle before touching it. He sent some Aura into that injury, destroying the shaft that was inside her ankle before her own Aura healed it. The fire Dust in her bloodstream faded away. Soon, Jaune pulled away from her chest. On her chest, was one bronze colored insignia of a dragon's head.
"Jaune?" gasped Pyrrha, feeling even better than before. She touched her chest and felt no wound. She looked down to it to see no hole. She saw on her upper left breast, right above her heart, was a tattoo of a dragon's head.
"You are mine, now and forever, just as I am yours. My mate. My goddess. Nobody will steal me from you ever again," whispered Jaune before hugging her.
Pyrrha immediately knew she had been given the Mate Mark and was happy. She had been wanting to receive one, but Jaune had been always noble and not push for it.
"Just as you are mine, I am yours, now and forever," whispered Pyrrha back, "I suppose we need to mate after you are done with this. Maybe tomorrow?"
"After I take care of things here," replied Jaune quietly, "I ate a special seed that restored my Aura, but apparently one of the side effects of it is that I'll go into a sexual frenzy. My whole body temperature rises and my instincts act out. To be honest, I'm starting to lose control of myself here. I mean, you only have a bra on your chest and… gods I want to just take you and ravish you right now. But there are people to be saved, and I need to make sure my other mates are safe, as well as my retainers."
"Then go," smiled Pyrrha before she gave him a brief kiss, "Show them what it means to provoke you, to attack us. After you're done, I'll be waiting with open arms."
Then, they both hear a loud shriek. The Grimm dragon had woken up and was charging towards them again, eager to take another shot. Pyrrha noticed the Scroll that Emerald had dropped and summoned it to her, quickly the pointed the camera to the Grimm dragon as Jaune walked forward a bit.
"I don't have time for this," grunted Jaune as he drew it, Crocea Mors. He quickly cut himself, putting some of his blood on the blade before spinning it in front of him. He stopped after spinning it four times, making the blade parallel to the ground, dragging two fingers across the blade. The blade started to shine brightly, and Jaune continued, swinging his blade around him once before raising it over his head, spinning it once more. He slammed the blade down into the floor after finishing his strange ritual, according to the people who saw it. Instantly, there were lines and ancient letters that came out from under his sword. They split off into different directions until they formed circles within circles, with various characters on four circles that were positioned in the North, West, East, and South positions. Four lights came out from each circle, rising up into the air, to the heavens above. A few seconds later, a black dot was coming down. It was getting bigger and bigger until it suddenly spread its black scaled wings for everyone to see. It was a dragon! It's jet black scales covering its body, though with its chest and belly covered with light brown scales. It looked down at the Grimm dragon in disgust. Pyrrha, who was in shock, was unintentionally broadcasting the dragon itself.
"Whoa," said Lung Wang in awe, "Didn't think you'd be able to summon him of all dragons."
'Who?' asked Jaune.
"That, young one, is arguably the strongest dragon in existence. Many dragons tend to use a specific element to fight. That is why each one of us has the title King, as the strongest dragons of that element. That dragon you summoned, though, is special. He was born without being able to use any elements. All his attacks were based off his Aura, and dealt with non-elemental damage," explained Aryz.
"When he was a hatchling, he was picked on for being so unusual. Over time, he grew in power, and found out something special," continued Fafnir.
"Just as we are kings of our elements, we do have some slight weaknesses. Lung Wang is a little weaker to water, as I am weaker to earth, and so forth," said Ryo-Wo, "He, however, does not share that weakness."
"Because he is non-elemental, he is not especially strong to any element, but nor is he weak to any element," stated Alaerth.
"Over time, he grew and challenged others until he was the indisputable top dragon of all dragons," grinned Andusk.
"As we are kings of an element, he is the king of all dragons," remarked Othim.
"His glorious name is Bahamut, King of Dragons!" roared all seven dragons.
Cinder was shocked to see Pyrrha suddenly fine again after that weird ritual Jaune had done. She was irritated that she had been denied two of her kills. When she heard the Grimm dragon screeching and coming for Jaune again, she grinned. She knew that punch was nothing more than a lucky shot, or rather she hoped.
However, everything changed when Jaune slammed the floor with his sword, drawing weird insignia. Then, from the heavens above, the true dragon appeared, ready to shred its enemies. The Grimm dragon actually stopped, trying to change its direction before fleeing for its life. The black dragon wasn't going to let it go so easily. It took a deep breath and roared to the heavens.
All of Remnant could hear it. They could feel its power!
At Salem's palace, they were watching the broadcast in awe before they heard its roar and felt its power.
"That's quite powerful," mused Watts. Suddenly he heard glass shatter behind him. He looked back to see Salem had dropped her wineglass, her hands quaking in... fear?
"Mi'lady?" asked Watts in concern. He had never seen her like this before. Nor did any of her people, and they were looking at her in concern.
"I-im-impossible!" stuttered Salem, her eyes shifting in fear, "The dragons are back!?"
"You know of these creatures?" asked Hazel.
Merlot was also interested. He had never actually seen a dragon in real life before. They were all in kid fairytale that was made up.
"The true rulers of Remnant," whispered Salem, "The ones that threatened to drive Grimm to extinction for one minor crime."
"If they were so powerful, how did they go extinct?" asked Merlot.
Salem shook her head, "They weren't driven extinct. They simply left because they felt like it was time for others to shine in Remnant. However, they left the accursed Dragon's Clan in Remnant, though I have done my best to stamp out all descendant of that dreadful clan. From A-Z, anything to kill them all, for they were my greatest threat. And now they're back."
"In that case, it might be prudent for Cinder and Tyrian to consider retreating now," mused Watts, "The only problem is, will they know to do so? And will they have the chance?"
Everyone watching the broadcast gaped at what Jaune had summoned. It was fearsome, it was powerful, and it was majestic. The epitome of a king.. or an emperor perhaps.
Bahamut flew right towards the Grimm dragon, grabbing its wings with his claws. The Grimm shrieked in fear, trying to escape. It had Grimm spawning from its wounds, trying to use them to distract Bahamut. He merely shrugged them off before flying up into the air with his prey. Then he dove back down, spiraling before letting go of the Grimm, pile-driving it into the ground. Bahamut landed, gazing at the Grimm dragon, that was trying to crawl away now. He growled as he took a few steps forward, grabbing the Grimm by its neck with his claws and tossing it up into the air. He took a deep breath, gathering power for all to see in his mouth. A huge ball started to form in front of him. The Grimm dragon finally managed to right itself before shrieking in fear at the ball of doom. It tried to fly away, but it was too late.
"MEGA FLARE!" roared Bahamut, and fired a beam of destructive energy right through the Grimm dragon, annihilating it completely. The beam went on for at least 5 seconds before Bahamut stopped it. He snorted after finishing the Grimm off before looking at Jaune directly.
"So. This is the newest member of the Dragon Clan," grunted Bahamut, talking directly to Jaune only, "I can sense... seven contracts to dragon kings. Intriguing. Nobody has had that many to such powerful dragons. And you've taken a Dragon seed for now, and I can feel your rage from earlier. Not to mention that blade you're using is amplifying your power. No wonder you were able to summon me. But take this as a warning. You are not worthy of summoning me yet. I only came out because I was interested of the newest Dragon Clan member, one that would bring the clan back into existence. That, and I personally wanted to deal with that fake dragon."
At that, Bahamut flew up into the skies and disappeared from sight. Everyone had been watching Bahamut easily rip apart the Grimm as Pyrrha had been recording the whole thing. It was at that point, the CCT's emergency power system failed and cut the broadcast, leaving the other major kingdoms and small villages in the dark.
"He's right," sighed Lung Wang, "Although you've gotten more powerful, it's only because of the Dragon seed and other influences that allowed you to summon him. We still need to up your training. I'm surprised Bahamut didn't ask you to sacrifice something in return. He must really have wanted to deal with that Grimm fake."
Jaune nodded before expanding his 8 wings. He reached into his bag before getting a blanket out, covering Pyrrha's body before picking her up bridal style. His instincts to take Pyrrha here and now were almost overcoming his sense of reason. The only thing standing him from doing so was that his other mates were in danger. He would not lose any of them. With a flap of his wings, he flew towards where all his friends were.
Everyone at the evacuation area just gaped at what just happened. The Grimm dragon, one that was supposed to have brought despair and destroy Beacon, as well as Vale itself, had just been annihilated by a being much bigger and stronger than it, and without any trouble! When it disappeared, Cinder and her faction could only breath a sigh of relief that it didn't turn to them. As they turned to face each other again, Cinder was already gathering power in her hands. She would make sure at least Ozpin died!
"Foolish old man. Just die already!" shouted Cinder as she sent a huge fireball towards him and the injured he was protecting, including the rest of Jaune's mates.
Ozpin quickly summoned all his Aura he had left to fortify his barrier. He swore he would not let anyone die anymore on his watch! As the fireball approached, Junior suddenly ran forward with his bat ready.
"Hei Xiong! What are you doing!?" shouted Ironwood.
"My job!" replied Junior as he lifted his bat, winding up as if ready to hit the fireball like a baseball. With a roar, he swung his bat at the fireball. To Cinder's shock, the fireball actually halted upon contact. But Junior was starting to give ground. His swing was being forced back, and he could feel his arms burning just for being close to the fire.
"Boss!" shouted his men.
"Uncle!" shouted Melanie and Militia, dealing with some Grimm. Adam had commanded the Mutant Grimm to attack again.
His white sleeves were burning up, leaving skin that was also turning red from the fire. Junior struggled, trying to bring more strength, but it wasn't enough. The fireball was starting to push him back further. Flickers of fire lashed at his face, leaving burn marks.
"C'mon Junior!" shouted Torchwick, "You told me you're on the winning side. Prove it to me!"
He looked at himself in shock for saying that, as did Neo.
Junior glanced back to see the wounded trying to drag themselves away while Onyx held up his shield ready just in case the fireball go through Junior and Ozpin's barrier, but there wasn't enough time. He looked to see Cinder grinning at what seemed to be her victory. Adam and Tyrian had tried to shoot Junior to distract him, but Qrow and Raven were preventing that. He looked up and saw Jaune closing in fast. He closed his eyes, 'At least young master is here. Everything will be fine, even if I die.'
At that, he remembered that Sun and Ren had proven themselves. Nora, the excitable girl, had gone stronger. He was blessed with the Dragon's Mark. And yet he hadn't proven himself worthy yet. Just providing information, and yet not defeating any of his enemies orprotectd someone. At this, his inner fire began to burn. He will prove himself. He will win this. HE WILL NOT LET JAUNE'S TRUST IN HIM BE IN VAIN!
With a roar and strength he didn't know, Junior began to shift the fireball back slowly. His Dragon's Mark on his right shoulder began to shine. Tendrils of fire wrapped around him, and yet it wasn't hurting him. They coalesced around his hands, but he didn't care.
"WOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" roared Junior.
With a final spurt, he finished his swing, batting the fireball away, right into the Mutant Goliath.
The Mutant Goliath roared in pain after being hit by a speeding fireball, collapsing onto the ground before dissolving away.
"Ha! Take that!" panted Junior, using his bat as support. He looked to see he now had gauntlets that burned with fire, and yet, never hurting him. Cinder responded in frustration with a stream of fire, aimed at Junior, but Jaune had made it. He dove down and smashed his foot down, up heaving stone to block the fire.
"Good job," grinned Jaune.
Junior could only weakly smile, "What took you so long?"
"I'll handle the rest. Make sure the private house is ready for me and Pyrrha after this fight," instructed Jaune. Junior looked over to Pyrrha and saw the dragon head on her chest, above her heart, and nodded. He wanted to question why do it right after the battle, but he figured there was a reason.
As Junior took Pyrrha to where RWBY, Dew, and anybody else injured, he stepped forward, glaring at his enemies. The Mutant Boartusk spun in place, gathering speed and fired itself towards Jaune.
"Look out!" shouted Nora in warning.
Jaune gazed at the spinning Boartusk before swinging his leg back.
"Wait, he's seriously not going to?" questioned Neptune.
Jaune kicked the spinning Boartusk like a soccer ball, sending it flying right into a Beoyeti. With a quick flick, he swung his sword at them, creating a blade beam made of fire and cutting right through them while burning the corpses. The Mutant Beringal charged at Jaune, screaming its battlecry as it winded up its fist and punched downwards at Jaune. However, before Jaune did anything, Sun jumped in and slammed the fist away with his staff.
"Can't let you have all the fun," grinned Sun. Ren and Nora walked forward, agreeing with the statement.
"It's our duty as your retainers to fight with you," added Ren. Jaune could only nod in reply.
"Day and Knight!" shouted Jaune, rushing forward at the Beringal. Sun ran forward with him, creating clones and firing them forward. Each clone hung on to Beringal's limb, preventing it from moving easily. Jaune stomped the ground, letting a pillar rise from behind him with Sun on it. Jaune dashed and sliced at the Beringal's legs. Sun slammed his staff onto the Beringal's head, causing it to fall to the ground. Jaune finished it off with a shotgun blast infused with the wind element, creating multiple holes in its head before it dissolved.
Several White Fang members and Grimm charged forward to attack them, hoping to do something, along with the Mutant Beowolf.
"Lightning wrath!" roared Jaune as he channeled electrical aura into his arms. He blasted it up into the air, right into where Nora was. She had already jumped into the air, putting her hammer in front of her. She felt the surge of electricity go through her body, empowering her. With a maniacal laugh, she spun towards the ground and slammed into the Mutant Beowolf into the ground with her hammer. Electricity sprouted forth from the hammer impact and shocked everyone around the Beowolf. Grimm faded away while White Fang members felt the shock going through their body, and unlike Nora, they didn't get a power boost from it.
At this point, the Mutant Deathstalker viewed Jaune as the biggest threat and quickly skittered towards him and plunged its stinger. Jaune's shield glowed white, and completely repelled the incoming stinger with his shield. Ren immediately followed up by jumping up, grabbing the stinger that was still in the air before plunging it down on its own head. The Deathstalker wailed and shook in pain. It tried to find Ren and Jaune, but they somehow suddenly disappeared from its sights. In reality, they were still in front of it, but Ren had activated his Semblance. It took awhile, but he was able to encompass any Grimm variants with his Semblance. Jaune put away his sword, and the two of them charged forward. With a strong step forward, the both of them punched the Deathstalker right in the center. They weren't done yet, though.
The two of them dashed forward again but split off. Jaune jumped high into the air, sprouting wings to fly up. As Ren took to the right side, Sun had appeared on the left side. They both ran forward, loading their leg with as much Aura as the could, and kicked the Deathstalker up. As the Deathstalker went up, Nora and Junior both jump and spun perpendicular to the ground. They slammed their weapon from under the Grimm, shooting it even higher. Cinder summoned ice crystals and fire them at Jaune, hoping to do something. Jaune moved his hands with grace and manipulated the ice crystals, guiding them in a Tai Chi fashion, and turning them to water, reshaping it until it was a sharpened arc and fired it at the Deathstalker, cutting it in half. He had originally been ready to dive down and stab the Deathstalker, but seeing as Cinder was trying to attack him, he might as well use her attack to help him instead.
As for the finale, he dove to the ground before punching the shadows of the Taijutus. The snake Grimm looked confused until shadow spikes slammed into their flanks from their own shadow.
"Now!" shouted Dandy as DSC and SSN finished off the Grimm while it was distracted. Sage cut off the white head while Dandy slammed his Disco ball into the black head, crushing it.
"Kill him!" shrieked Cinder, now utterly terrified. Just one man, with some minor help, had taken out most of the Mutant Grimm with ease, and Cinder now realized that Jaune had more power than she could imagine…
She quickly put on her special glove. It was a white glove with Salem's special insignia on the back of her hand, the same one used on Amber. Cinder had requested another one just in case. If she got the chance, then she would drain the boy of his power and add it to hers. The Mutant Ursa and Mercury immediately dashed forward, along with Emerald trying to provide backup. Immediately, Ironwood and Glynda ran forward to help.
Adam started towards him, but Raven blocked his path.
"That's it! Just die!" roared Adam as he got into his stance. Raven, using the same stance as before, started to run forward. Adam smirked as he saw her coming. This match was his. He drew out his blade, activating his Semblance Moonslice, aiming for Raven's head when something went wrong. His whole body was wracked in pain as he did it, and completely messed up his aim. Raven managed to duck under it before doing an upwards slash, slicing his right arm off.
Adam howled in pain as he felt the cut suddenly burn, freeze, electrocute, and be stabbed by what felt like thousands of tiny needles. As he slumped down onto his knees, Raven pointed her blade at his neck.
"You fool. You think I gave you those stab wounds for fun earlier?" stated Raven, "I know your style, and its weakness. Each stab wound I gave you plays a vital part in utilizing the style. The thighs for balance and power. Right shoulder for pulling. Hips for turning power. All which I disabled. And now.. you are just as armless as my..."
She saw two pieces of her hair fall off. Adam had managed to slice a bit of her hair.
"Oh boy," sighed Taiyang, "He's in trouble."
Yang then saw where her temper and protectiveness of her hair came from.
"You..." growled Raven, "You little bastard!"
"What?" gaped Adam, trying to figure out what was happening. Raven began slicing all over his body, causing him even more pain before she ended it with a dropkick towards Blake.
"That's for my hair!" shouted Raven. Yang could only chuckle as she saw just how much she had inherited from Raven.
Adam could only slowly crawl, seeing Blake stare at him with hate.
"Please," gasped Adam, "I did all of this for you, my love."
"No," replied Blake coldly, "You did this all for yourself and your perverted sense of justice. In reality, it was all about revenge. I was just a crutch for you to use, an excuse. I said it once, and I'll say it again. Goodbye."
At these final words, Adam succumbed to the darkness, his eyes dimming. Raven picked him up before tossing him to where they were keeping the prisoners. Some of the Atlas soldiers still remaining tied him up before stripping him of his weapon. They made sure he wouldn't die from his wounds.
They all turned around to see the final fight.
Alright, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Didn't think I'd actually get up past 1000 reviews when I woke up. Next chapter WILL be next week, uploaded on 6/26/2017 at probably somewhere at 10 am PCT. I do need the week to plot out what else I'm going to do. But feel free to leave a review still!
And now, for some random Omakes I made up!
Omake-Right before taking the seed
"In summary, you're about to be a Gary Stu character!" announced Othim.
"Who?" asked Jaune.
"Male counterpart of Mary Sue," replied Lung Wang, "You don't want to know."
"That goddess was almost invincible in her own territory," grumbled Aryz.
"Thankfully, once she's out of it, she's quite easy to deal with," added Fafnir.
Omake 2-A specific Goliath Herd
Far off from the city of Vale, where an invasion was taking place, a small group of Grimm Goliaths was not invading. A younger one looked to the leader before asking its question.
"Why are we not invading like the rest of them?" asked the young one, "We should be there trampling over humanity. We have been given the perfect chance! Even the Grimm dragon has woken up to invade!"
The leader merely gazed at the younger one before replying, "Because, there is the presence of the true dragons exists in that human city. We will not take that risk."
The young one pouted before yelling, "I doubt that was true! Just a bluff we sensed those months earlier!"
Some of the other Goliaths seemed to agree, and the young on was about to lead anyone who wanted to go with it to Vale when they all heard a roar. A presence washed over them, causing them all to shake. They looked to see Bahamut roaring in the skies, ready to fight. The Grimm dragon looked ready to piss itself before trying to flee. They then all witnessed Bahamut beating the crap outta it.
"That… is why we didn't invade," said the leader, "Would you rather face that or exist to fight another day?"
The young one didn't answer.
Anyone forget that small herd back a few chapters, the one I had Jaune scared? That's where they were lol!
On a side note, I'd like to thank UGX7, TheMischieviousPuppy, and Jauneforever as my betareaders. Couldn't have gotten these chapters out this fast.
