Mama Yang Hero Academia-38
"I hear a lot of those security machines on the floor below us." Jiro said, her earphone jacks in the wall.
"Any sounds from above?" Ruby asked.
"No. It's should be clear." Jiro exclaimed.
"Let's go." Iida said, as they were running through the server room of the hundred and thirty eighth floor.
As they were continuing to make their way through the server room, but were stopped when a signal blared out, and the doors opened to reveal even more security sentries, ranging in the triple digits this time.
"A trap?" Iida asked.
"Damn it. We can't fight in here." Ruby stated.
"Why the hell not?" Mineta shouted.
"If any of these servers get damaged it could affect the Island's security system. The servers on the hundred thirtieth floor were one thing, they just maintain stabilization for the power core in it. But these maintain the entire Island's security grid, if one of these goes down, then the entire Island is vulnerable to attack, the island could even sink to the bottom of the ocean for all we know. We could try doing a manual reboot here, but we don't have the tools, and Momo has to conserve her lipids for battle." Ruby exclaimed.
"So what do we do?" Kaminari questioned as more drones came from the upper levels.
"Momo, Iida, Mineta, Kaminari." Ruby began. "You four stay here and guard the servers, hold off the sentries, and make sure none of the equipment in here gets damaged. Melissa, Uraraka, Scythe, Jack, and I will go and try to find a different route to the top."
"Are you sure about this strategy?" Iida inquired.
"We don't have much of a choice." Ruby said before the five of them ran off.
"Okay, let's hold them off." Momo said, creating an 18th century cannon. "Jiro, you take over the gun, while I make us some soft ammo."
"Roger that." Jiro said.
With Ruby and her group, they had managed to find a different route to the next level, running through the halls, to try and get to the top faster. Scythe had Igneel strung with an arrow knotted, ready to be pulled back and fired. There was a loud explosion that caught his attention, but Ruby just pulled it back.
"Scythe we can't stop. They'll be all right." Ruby said confidently.
"Run, if we get caught here, the Iida and the others did that for nothing." Uraraka added.
"Damn it." Scythe growled, running with them. "Be safe everyone."
"Through here." Melissa said, turning to a door, that lead out to the wind powered generators on the roof of a side building. "We can get up through that door by climbing the ladder."
"What is this?" Jack questioned.
"It's the wind power generator sweetie." Ruby said.
"Where's the door?" Scythe asked.
"It's an emergency exit we can enter to the top of the tower. Once we get through it'll only be a couple flights of stairs before we reach the control room." Melissa said.
"All the way up there?" Ruby questioned. "Thought it'd be lower, but it wouldn't be that simple, now would it?"
"But we have Ochako." Melissa said, turning to Uraraka, her body visibly shaking. "Your Quirk makes anything you touch weightless right? So this should be easy."
"Leave it to me." Uraraka said, with a confident nod. "I'm not gonna be able to do more than three people though."
"Scythe, Jack." Ruby said, getting them to look at her. "Hang on to Melissa, Uraraka is gonna use her Quirk to get you three up there, be sure that once you do, you'll be able to get to the control room. Do exactly as Melissa tells you, understand?"
"Aw, now isn't that sweet?" A familiar voice taking the five of them by surprise as two figures dropped down from one of the platforms with wind turbines and landed in front of the doorway the group just came from. They were both wearing the same gear as the villains from the party, but they looked around Ruby's size, well the one with the feminine form looked a few inches shorter than Ruby. "Too bad this is as far as either of you go though."
Out of reaction, the one who spoke jolted to the side, grabbing an arrow that flew at him, midair, and straightened out again.
"Nice try." He chuckled, only to see Scythe's face had a smile on it.
"Boom." Scythe said, before the arrow exploded, destroying part of the villains mask.
"Damn it you brat." He laughed. "That kinda hurt. But I otta thank you. I certainly wasn't looking forward to wearing that damn helmet longer than I had to."
Ruby's eyes narrows as the man removed the broken helmet, revealing the sickly white skin, combed back green hair, slick and shiny with hair gel, tied off in a ponytail at the base of his skull, and a never ending insane smile on his face. The troubling part was, his none of his skull was showing.
"Zombie King." Ruby growled.
"In the flesh. Though, I'm less Zombie more Prince of Crime, these days. Call me Joker." He smiled as he began removing the stuffy body gear. "Oh man, it feels so good to not have to forcefully take control away from Midoriya now that he's gone."
"What are you talking about?" Ruby asked.
"Before, when I first manifested, Midoriya and I were two consciences sharing one body, sort of like dual identity disorder, or Jekyll and Hide." Joker smiled. "But over the past three months, our consciences began merging. Two weeks ago, we became fully united, and I became the one in charge. To put that part to you simply, Midoriya is dead, his conscience was consumed by my raw nature, and I, became my own free man. Of course my body has undergone some changes. One of them being, I no longer have Zombie for my Quirk. Now, I'm just like the Nomu that attacked the USJ with us."
Joker had finished removing the body gear to show he was more defined, his muscles were larger, leaner, and his physique could be seen through the skin tight T-shirt he wore with the cargo pants and steel toed military boots.
"Though there's a few key differences between me and Nomu, as well as Monoma." Joker smiled. "One, I didn't have to get steroid enhancements to be able to sustain my strength, speed, shock absorption, and regeneration Quirks. My body can naturally handle all of them, because of who my father is. Two, I don't have the Nomu Disk in my neck like Monoma had, these Quirks were planted directly into me."
"Because of who your father is?" Ruby questioned as they slowly backed away.
"Scythe should be able to tell who my old man is, just from my scent." Joker smiled.
"His scent?" Scythe asked, catching a whiff before his eyes widened in shock, as his mind played back memories of a fight he had against Nana Shimura's ultimate enemy when he traveled back into the past. "No, it can't be, you're his son?"
"I am indeed." Joker said, his smile growing even bigger.
"Scythe who are you talking about?" Ruby inquired.
"All-for-One." Scythe said. "Midoriya is the child of All-for-One. That's why his body can handle so many Quirks without breaking. He's naturally built to handle them, just like his father."
"Oh, an' I believe you already know my partner Ms. Rose." Joker smiled as the villain standing beside him put her hands on her hips, and starting from her feet, the sound of broken glass clanging together could be heard, as a familiar Semblance made itself known to Ruby, showing the young woman hadn't been wearing a suit like that at all, revealing a very familiar face to Ruby.
The young woman stood there in an entirely different outfit than Ruby remembered seeing her in. The attire consisted of a brown jacket ending just below her shoulders and above her chest with pink trimmings on top and is pink on the inside; two brown belt shoulder straps, a gray scarf similar to a familiar Master Criminal's, a vest, gloves, a belt, pants, and heeled shoes of a matching white color. Her hair is also styled differently than she remembered. It is noticeably thicker than it was before with shorter bangs and the white streaks were missing, with a familiar black and red bowler hat on top of her head.
"Neo?" Ruby questioned.
"See, didn't I say she'd remember you?" Joker smiled, which Neo just rolled her eyes with a cheeky smile and a chuckle.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Ruby asked.
"Well, we were ordered by my old man to tail Wolfram's gang while David got back the data that had been stolen from him, well, more like locked away. He and Sam did plan this whole thing." Joker said cheekily, as Neo disappeared in a ripple of glass shards.
"What? No that can't be true." Melissa said.
"Sorry sugar-tits, but it is." Joker chuckled.
'Where did Neo go off to?' Ruby questioned. 'I can't smell her either. Did All-for-One, give her a camouflage Quirk?'
"OW." Scythe cried out, feeling someone smack him real hard on the back of the head. "That hurt." Scythe cried out, spinning around, swinging the bow as to try and hit the assailant, only to hit nothing, but something about Scythe's voice seemed different and familiar to Ruby.
"Wait hold on. Don't tell me." Ruby gasped noticing Scythe's hair was longer to, cat ears flat and tail twitching, as Scythe looked around in anger.
"Ahahahahahaha." Joker laughed as Neo appeared next to him on his other side, leaning on his shoulder with a smirk. "So you noticed huh? How 'his' voice is a bit higher in pitch again?"
"All-for-One…"
"That's right. While still a zombie, I needed human flesh to sustain me. Ochuna was one of my victims. But my old man took his Quirk, and put it away in storage for someone else to be able to use." Joker smiled as Neo tapped him on the head with her left hand with all five fingers, and his form became more feminine with curves to rival Ruby's and Melissa's. "Neo thought it might be fun to have the gender swapping Quirk. Might make for some useful pranks. My old man had no problem with giving it to her, I think he felt uncomfortable just having it in his possession even." Joker said, her voice higher in pitch. "To keep things fair, Neo's not gonna change me back into a man until the fight is over. But, she's never gonna turn Scythe back into a boy. Seems she's fated to be a girl forever."
"Uraraka now." Melissa shouted as Scythe and Jack hopped onto Melissa's back.
Uraraka grabbed all three of them, and pushed them off towards the emergency exit, floating higher into the air.
"Get back here." Joker shouted with a menacing grin, jumping to grab them, only for Ruby to appear in front of her, and slam the top of her head with an axe kick, sending her back to the ground, Ruby landing ten feet away from her. "Oh, you're asking for it now bitch." Joker laughed as she went to fight Ruby, while Neo made her way around the fight to charge at Uraraka.
"Not good." Uraraka said.
As Neo lunged to stab Uraraka with the blade coming out of her umbrella, she was pulled back as a metal bar came flying at her, and twisted around her, and landed on the ground in front of the feet of a familiar red head with magnetic control.
"DIE." Bakugo shouted flying to Ruby and Joker, slamming his open palm in the green haired girls face.
Ruby however could see pain in his eyes. Bakugo had heard Jokers explanation on Neo getting a gender swapping Quirk, and knew that the girl he just blasted away was someone he used to know. But she could also see the resolve in his eyes, to protect those he cared for. The force of the explosion Bakugo set off, sent Joker flying, and landed near the edge of the platform they were standing on.
"Ah Kacchan. So good for you to finally join us." Joker smiled, the burns on her face going away, with a flash of green aura, and the regeneration Quirk, something that deeply surprised Ruby.
"D-Izuku." Bakugo said looking at the person who used to be his friend. "I'm sorry. I never meant to actually push you to suicide." Bakugo stated. "I just… I thought if I discouraged you from trying to become a hero without a Quirk, I could keep you safe. You were and still are my childhood friend. Please, come back with us, and we can work things out between the police and heroes. An' maybe we could get you into U.A, you have power now, you can become a hero if you wanted to."
"He-ehehe-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Joker laughed manically clutching her head, though it was easy to see that there was pain in her eyes, as she staggered.
"What's going on with her?" Ruby questioned, before feeling a tap on her shoulder; she jumped when she turned to see Neo standing there, at her side, holding up an advanced upgraded scroll with a message on it. "I thought Pyrrha had you restrained.
"*Nope sorry, I used an Illusion to make Nikos think she caught, me.*" The first part of the message said. "*Midoriya is still inside Joker's mind. What you're seeing is the last remnants of Midoriya fighting back against Joker's control. There's a reason why the both of them were originally two minds in one body.*"
"Wait, why are you telling us this?" Bakugo questioned reading the message.
"*I like Midoriya a lot better than Joker. He treats me kindly.*" Neo typed. "*Anyway, Midoriya wasn't originally an only child. I hacked into Inko Midoriya's hospital records during the time of her pregnancy, and found she had actually been pregnant with twins. But one of the twins ate the other while still in the womb, which resulted in Joker being a part of Izuku's mind.*"
"Uh Katsuki, Ruby, you might wanna take a look at what's happening with Midoriya." Weiss shouted.
The three of them turned and gasped, as they literally saw Joker splitting apart like a cell dividing into two different cells. Before long, there were two female Midoriya's standing there on the platform, surprisingly, the clothes seemed to multiply as well.
As the one on the left began to regain her senses, the one on the right came rushing in and punched her counterpart in the face, knocking her more into the safe part of the ground. The one who assaulted her counterpart removed the hair tie, and smoothed out her hair, looking at her fallen counterpart with disdain.
"I'd been waiting a long time to do that to you Joker." She said, revealing she was Midoriya, as he skin regained its original light color.
"I thought I had devoured your subconscious." Joker said, picking herself up, using the blood on her mouth to make a smile on her face.
"You thought wrong." Midoriya sighed.
"What the hell is going on here?" Bakugo shouted.
"Dad might have added another Quirk to Joker's power by mistake." Midoriya said, backing up closer to them. "It was a Quirk that allowed for someone to use one a victim of Dual Identity Disorder to split the identities apart, freeing them of insanity, allowing the other identity for form their own life as the original's sibling. It's rendered useless now that we're split apart."
Neo flinched in pain as she reached to the back of her neck, and pulled off a Nomu Disk.
"Don't tell me that's what was giving you Ochuna's power." Ruby groaned.
"*It was unfortunately. Since I betrayed Joker, it self-destructed. I'm unable to reverse the Quirks effects now on both Scythe and Midoriya.*" Neo replied.
"We've got incoming." Todoroki shouted as more sentries came flooding around them.
"We've also got a bit of a problem." Uraraka called out. "Melissa, Jack, and Scythe just got blown away."
Todoroki turned to see this before removing his jacket and throwing it to the ground running to an area of the rooftop.
"Bakugo, get up there and aim the propeller at Xiao Long and the others. Quick." Todoroki shouted.
"Don't give me orders. Damn it." Bakugo shouted, using his explosions to send himself high into the air, and blow up a support pole for one of the propellers, aiming it at Scythe.
Todoroki extended out his left hand as he used the propeller to blow hot air at them while blasting the propeller blades with his flames. The action of this took Weiss by surprise, but she was happy to see he was accepting his left side.
'Shoto, you used your flame. Rei would be so proud of you if she could see this right now.' Weiss smiled.
"We're gonna hit the wall. Hang on." Melissa cried out.
"Time to see what these full gauntlets can really do." Scythe said, charging One-for-All into her right fist at fifty percent. "Lightning Goddess: SMASH."
As they approached the wall, Scythe threw her punch and creating a hole in the wall, leaving them with half of the flight of stairs to go. Thought after Uraraka had released her Quirk, both Scythe and Jack landed on top of Melissa.
"Scythe, Jack, are you both okay?" Melissa questioned as they got up, noticing Scythe still clutching her bow tightly.
"I think so." Jack said.
"I'm gonna be feeling that one in the morning." Scythe groaned as they sat up. "Are you okay Melissa?"
"I'm fine, just some scratches." Melissa said, raising her arm.
Scythe smiled, before her senses kicked in and she jumped forward, pushing Melissa and Jack out of the way, dodging the blade being swung down at them. Scythe got up and knotted an arrow, shooting it at the villain with a sword for an arm, but it was deflected, before he swung down on them again, only for his attack to be blocked by Jack pushing his blade back, with her own blades holding it there in the X-Formation.
"What is this?" He questioned. "None of you should have come here."
"Tell us why you villains are here, what do you want form the tower?" Jack questioned as Scythe regained her senses after hitting her head on the ground.
"You chose the wrong place to play hero kiddies." He said, his other arm turning into a blade as well, swinging it down at Jack.
Acting quickly, the young girl, used one of the blades to block the attack, but was knocked out of the hole in the wall, her blade catching into the ledge as
"Stop it." Melissa shouted grabbing him by the shoulders.
"Get out of the way." The villain said, smacking her with his blade, cutting her arm and knocking her away at the same time. "Little girls…"
The villain never got to finish that statement as he suddenly found himself backing up as Scythe smacked him as hard as she could across the face with Igneel.
"Stupid little brat. You want to die?" He questioned glaring at her.
Without giving a response, Scythe jumped through the air, and slammed her foot into his face knocking him back into the wall near the staircase, before she fired another arrow. As much as she hated the idea of it, Scythe needed to do something a little extreme to make sure he didn't follow them, and sent the arrow right through his shoulder, pinning him to the wall, as he shouted in pain, as it split his shoulder joint out of its socket. Scythe repeated this with the other shoulder, and shut her eyes, cringing at what she did as he passed out from the pain.
"Scythe, you okay?" Melissa asked as Jack was now safely back in the hall, and tying a handkerchief on Melissa's wound.
"I'll be fine." Scythe said, undoing Igneel, putting Sting and Rogue away. "C'mon, let's get going. We're almost to the top."
"Yeah." Melissa said.
As they passed the unconscious villain, Melissa looked at Scythe and had a bit of a worried expression on her face.
"Scythe, are you doing all right?" Melissa asked. "With being turned back into a girl I mean?"
"I figured this was bound to happen with my bad luck, so don't worry about it." Scythe said. "Though I could really use a wardrobe change right about now."
"Get them." A muffled voice shouted from the stairs, as machine guns went off.
Scythe motioned for Melissa and Jack to stay back, while she bounced off the walls, then ceiling, avoiding the bullets, before pushing off the ceiling, and slamming into one of the shooters, before jumping off him, and landing on the walls, then ground, punching the second shooter in the stomach sending him down the stairs into the wall, causing another indent in the concrete.
As they reached the top floor, Scythe and Jack lead the way, following Melissa's lead in finding the control room, while also stopping at every corner to see if there was any danger.
"Melissa, where's the control room located?" Scythe questioned.
"In front of the central elevator." Melissa explained.
As they looked around the corner closing in on the control room, Scythe and Jack spotted the vault, the only problem was, it was open.
"Someone's in there." Scythe said, as Melissa looked around the corner to see what was going on.
"Huh, Papa." Melissa gasped. 'Could what Joker said, really be true? Could Papa actually be behind this? No it can't be, it just can't; Papa would never do anything like that.'
"Sam's in there to." Scythe growled.
"It kinda looks like he's been beat to hell and back though." Jack said.
"Why's Papa up on the top floor though?" Melissa questioned.
"There's a slim possibility that what Joker said was true. But then again it could have been a bluff to get us disorganized, and start doubting one another. The villains probably brought him up here, because they needed something from him." Scythe exclaimed.
"We have to help him." Melissa said.
"Right." Scythe nodded.
"Agreed." Jack smiled.
As they approached the vault, Scythe saw that what they were doing was looking for a specific block in the vault, when the sound of a confirmation alert went off.
"I've unlocked it. Block 1147." David said. "Once we're done here, you are going to finish paying for all those years of creeping and stalking on my daughter."
'At least he knows the truth now.' Scythe thought.
"It's opening." Sam said, running to the block, and taking the case out with his uninjured arm, and opening it on the lid of the block. "You did it professor. Look everything is here, it's perfect."
'That doesn't sound like someone who's in a hostage crisis.' Scythe thought scowling a bit.
"Finally I've gotten it back." David said, marching up and taking the closed case away from Sam. "All my research, and they just took my device away from me. But now it's mine."
"Just like we planned." Sam said following him down the steps. "An' it looks like the villains are holding things down."
A mechanical whirl alerted them that they were not alone, and before they could react, the case was shot out of David's hands by an arrow, that penetrated the lid to one of the blocks. They starred at it in astonishment, before one word, in a voice they recognized drew their attention.
"Papa." Melissa said, her whole world shattering around her as a crow flew in and perched on the control panel of the vault.
'It must have flown in through the gaping hole in the wall I made a couple floors down.' Scythe thought, another arrow already knotted in the bowstring. 'The cleanup crew's gonna have a hard time keeping birds out while the wall is being repaired.'
"Melissa, no." David said, seeing them all standing there, a hurt and bewildered look on Melissa's face, while Jack and Scythe, both shared scowls of betrayal.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Sam questioned before he screamed as an arrow shot through his broken arm.
"Shut up Fatass Pedo." Scythe said knotting another arrow again.
"What does he mean that it's like you planned it?" Melissa questioned, slowly, walking towards him. "Don't tell me that, you're the one behind this. This was all you, just to steal something? No, it can't be true."
David couldn't bear the look in Melissa's eyes, but he couldn't bring himself to look away either.
"Yes it is." David said in a calm voice.
"So what Joker said outside was the truth." Scythe said, her arms shaking in not only anger but sadness. "Why. You're Grandpa Might's best friend, you're practically brothers. Why did you have to end up turning into a villain?"
"Papa, how could you?" Melissa questioned.
"You keep your mouth shut fatty, or the next arrow is going through your skull." Scythe said, stopping Sam from saying anything.
"The invention inside that briefcase." David said, pointing to the case Scythe shot an arrow through. "Can amplify someone's Quirk."
"That shouldn't be possible." Melissa said.
'A prototype that took us from our home would disagree with you on that.' Scythe thought.
"But it is. It's still being tested of course, but unlike with drugs, this device can enhance someone's Quirk without doing any damage to their body or brain." David explained. "Despite that, our sponsors pulled out of the project. Confiscating all our prototypes and research data. Then they demanded that the project be abandoned. They were worried that something like this would drastically alter the structure of our superhuman society. Fearing chaos, governments from different nations pressured me to end it. I had no choice but to do so. That's why we did this. It was originally Sam's idea, but I agreed to it none the less. We hired actors to play the part as villains, and they pretended to force us to break in and take it. It was agreed we have none of them army a single soul. An' we also agreed that after it was done, we would continue our research somewhere else in private, which meant fleeing the island."
"An' abandoning Melissa in the process right?" Jack questioned.
"If you actually had succeeded, then what? You'd have hurt Melissa far worse, than what you've already done to her now." Scythe added. "Grandpa Might would have taken her in as his own, but even he would never be able to forgive you for abandoning her."
"This doesn't make any sense." Melissa said. "The Papa I know and love would never act like a villain, no matter what. So why then, why?"
"I had to for All Might." David said. "You three probably aren't aware of this. But his Quirk is disappearing. However, if he uses the device in that briefcase, he'll be his old self. His abilities will be even stronger than they were, the #1 Hero, the Symbol of Peace, will get his strength and light back again. He can keep saving people just like he always has." Running to the case and grabbing it. "Please, please just let me hand this device over to All Might, there's no time to remake it. When he's better I don't care what kind of punishment I receive."
"WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?" Scythe shouted, entering her Argonaut form. "Who the hell do you think you are? Grandpa Might is the Symbol of Peace, yes. But he's also only human. He has his limits, and if his Quirk is disappearing, it's because he's pushed himself past those limits for far too long. He's not immortal, he's not invincible, and he's just like you and me. HE'S ONLY HUMAN GOD DAMN IT."
"There's also a hiccup with your plan." Jack stated.
"The villains aren't actors. They're real." Scythe stated. "They tried to kill us on the eightieth floor, they attacked up with robot sentries on floor one hundred thirty, and they even attacked us fifty floors down at the Wind Power generators. To top it off, one of the villains cut Melissa's arm with their Quirk."
"No what do you mean?" David asked turning to Sam. "The villains are fake, it's all supposed to be an act."
"Of course it was a performance." Wolfram said.
Scythe twisted around as the crow flew off the control panel and circled the room higher and higher, before firing off the arrow she had strung, only for Wolfram to catch it between his index and thumb with ease.
"But the real act was pretending we weren't criminals." Wolfram said, manipulating the metal in sparks of blue lightning, molding it like claw in his hand.
"You're the boss." Scythe shouted, turning Igneel back into Sting and Rogue, running towards him.
Wolfram stuck his freehand on the vault door, and with sparks of blue electricity, controlled the metal of the railing to wrap around her body, and slam her into the wall, before pinning her to it with metal restraints.
"Scythe." Melissa called out running to her.
Scythe reverted out of her Argonaut form to attempt an escape, but the metal quickly tightened around her, keeping her in place as she dropped Sting and Rogue.
"LET HER GO." Jack shouted charging at Wolfram.
Using the metal he had been molding, Wolfram had made a restraint, and sent it around Jack's foot, pinning her to the ground with the pressure.
"Children these days really have no respect for their elders." Wolfram sighed.
"Damn it." Scythe growled.
"You'd be smart not to resist." Wolfram said walking to the foot of the stairs where David and Sam were. "Sam, hand it over."
"Right, here you go." Sam said taking the case from David with his good arm, and running down the stairs to hand the case over to Wolfram.
"Sam you son of a bitch. I'll kill you." Scythe shouted as Melissa tried pulling the restraints off her.
"Sam, this was your plan? You were gonna hand it over all along?" David asked.
"You're the one who tricked me Professor." Sam said. "I've been your assistant for all these years, and you let them take our work. We could have had fame or fortune, but no. I deserve more. I need to be rewarded. Otherwise my entire carrier was a complete waste of time."
"He had no choice Dumbass." Scythe shouted. "It was either that, or risk losing his home, his license, his right to raise Melissa. You think he'd risk all that just to make a fortune off the device?"
"Hearing that, you can't really blame a loving father for choosing to do what's right for his daughter now can you?" Wolfram asked. "Here's the payment I promised you." He said, aiming his gun at Sam and shooting him in his good arm.
"No, why?" Sam questioned. "This isn't part of the plan."
"Is it not? That's strange, because it's always been a part of my plan after Neo showed me the footage of what you were doing, stalking the Professor's daughter like that." Wolfram said. "Honestly, I might be a villain, but even I wouldn't stalk and lust after a thirteen year old girl."
"I'm not gonna lie." Scythe said, as she stopped struggling in her restraints. "Hearing you say that, kinda gives me some respect for you."
"Thank you." Wolfram said. "But now it's time for Sam here to die."
Just as he's about to pull the trigger, Jack thinks of something she can do, before she realizes she had her speed. Using it in her eyes, she was able to time right when the bullet came out of the barrel of the gun, and threw one of her blade to deflect it, before the knife imbedded itself in the ground right between Sam's legs, nearly castrating him, the reality and scare of this caused him to faint as he pissed himself.
"I'm gonna need a new blade Scythe. I'm not touching that one ever again." Jack said in disgust.
"Cheeky little girl." Wolfram said. "As I said earlier, I would never lust after a child, but I'm not above killing them." He said, aiming the gun at her.
"NO." Scythe shouted.
Just before Wolfram pulled the trigger, a figure came falling from above in a flurry of crow feathers, and deflected the bullet, glaring at Wolfram with a look of disdain and anger.
"You keep away from her." He growled.
The newcomers face was rugged, as he has graying black, spiky hair, dull red eyes and slight stubble along his jawline. Along with a red, tattered cloak, he wears a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants and black dress shoes. He also wears a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right ring finger and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant. His bangs are pushed back, and is made to look like it is composed entirely of feathers.
"Uncle Qrow." Scythe shouted with a cheer and a smile.
"Looks like there was a pro who missed the party." Wolfram said.
"Jack." Melissa cried out.
"Stay back." Qrow shouted, before Wolfram smacked her away with the butt of his gun.
Scythe saw her fall to the ground, and pushed against her restraints, the lightning of One-for-All crackling around her as she pushed forward.
"Uncle Qrow, get Melissa and Sam out of here, David will follow you just go." Scythe shouted. "Get Melissa and David to the control center, and do a hard reboot of the security system, it'll free everyone trapped on the second floor."
"What about the two of you?" Qrow shouted.
"We'll be fine." Scythe smiled, making headway with pushing against her restraints. "After all, we are the daughters of Ruby Rose, and Yang Xiao Long." She smirked. 'I've never used One-for-All outside my Argonaut form, so I'm not sure if this will hurt or not. But I have to do something. I can't just sit back, and let him take the device. I am a hero in training, and I will stop him.'
Qrow looked to Jack with surprise in his eyes, but quickly dismissed it, deciding to ask another time.
"You're better keep your word Scythe." Qrow shouted grabbing Melissa by the wrist and using Harbinger's scythe form to pull Sam along the ground, not actually wanting to touch the man who pissed himself.
"Wait, what about Papa?" Melissa questioned.
"I'm right behind you." David said reaching to grab the case, before a gunshot resonated through the air, and he fell over his shoulder bleeding as the bullet went through, in and out.
"PAPA." Melissa shouted.
"Let's go, Scythe will get him out of there. I have to get you and tubby here to safety." Qrow said, dragging Melissa along. "Which way to the control center?"
"Trying to play the hero by stopping me from getting the device huh? It's a little late for that isn't it?" Wolfram asked, stomping his foot on David's back. "No matter what your reasons, you've dirtied your hands. Whether we're real villains or actors is irrelevant, you planned and committed an actual crime here. You're exactly the same as we are. You can no longer remain a respected scientist, or continue your research without shame. Your life is forever tainted by the darkness of villainy. An' if you wanna have any future at all, you'll mass produce this device so I can sell it."
Before Wolfram could hit David on the neck to knock him out, Jack threw another one of her knife at him, forcing him to drop David. Having that jolt of sensation run through him was what David needed to run to the control panel, and search for something. Jack had managed to escape her restraint, by using one of her blades to shatter the metal, since it was weaker than the blade, and was currently trying to keep Wolfram occupied until either Scythe got free, or one of the pro heroes showed up.
'I know what I did caused me to become a villain, it was wrong. What Scythe said, about All Might being only human made me realize, that I've been idolizing him as a God, instead of my best friend. My brother. So to make it up to her, I'm going to do what's right, and give her something to help her win.' David thought as he found the block he was looking for.
Running up the stairs as it opened, David grabbed the ball of metal, flinching as a bullet nearly hit him, as Wolfram was still trying to get him, but was having trouble keeping Jack away. Spotting Scythe pushing against her restraints, David knew he had to throw it, since he wouldn't be able to get past Wolfram.
"Scythe." David called out, pressing the button on the device as he threw it.
Just as Wolfram had knocked Jack away by hitting her with the butt of his gun, he saw the device flying overhead, and opening up, directing itself towards Scythe.
'This was based off of Melissa's Full Gauntlet schematics. I was saving it to show her the finished product on her birthday, but I don't have that luxury anymore, it'll take the shape of the wearer's most worn outfit after the computer inside the core does a quick data search through I-Island's security mainframe, before it burns out, and uses that outfit as its default form. Good luck Scythe.' David thought as Wolfram came up with the device in hand, and grabbed him by the shirt, before knocking him out. 'I leave the rest up to you.'
Just as Scythe freed her upper body from its restraints, the device latched onto her, and began spreading over her body, connecting with the full gauntlets already on her, but changing them to her size, and reinforcing them. The suit looked like her hero costume from that morning, when they first arrived to the island.
As Wolfram aimed his gun to fire his last shot at Jack as she stood up from where she landed, Scythe fully broke free, and embraced Jack in a hug, before a pillar of black and violet flames engulfed them both, then just as suddenly as it appeared, it vanished, and instead of two little girls standing there, Wolfram saw two young women, in the same attire the little girls had been wearing. Jack and Scythe both were in their mid to late teens, both their costumes had changed to fit their sizes.
Jack was on her feet, in a battle stance, with two of her four remaining blades in her hands, with her hair still in a ponytail at the base of her skull, but a little longer. Her body was as slim as Ruby's, with curves to match.
Scythe was crouching down on the ground in front of Jack, her eyes shut as if concentrating on something; her right leg stretched out, with her left leg bent. Her wings were spread out wide, on either side of Jack as to not block the view of her. Her left arm was behind her, as if reaching out for something like claws, while her right hand was planted firmly on the ground as black flames with violet tips danced around the duo, the light making them look twice as menacing as they should be.
"You've gone and done it now Wolfram." Scythe said with a guttural growl echoing out of her throat, her eyes snapping open, reptilian pupils as thin as they could go. "You've gone and awoken not one, but two dragons."
"Prepare to pay for your sins." Jack said with a smile, playfully licking the edge of her blade, without cutting her tongue.
