Chapter 2

[Unleash The [K]night]

"My life is a messed up choice of things. But I don't regret it. My blade is my weapon of mastery, my arms are my extensions and weapons. That's why no matter how many times I fall, or I lose my weapon… I'll rip and tear until it's done!"

Flashback by MIYAVI

Black Rebellion Redux

One year, since I accepted Qrow's apprenticeship he offered me. There was hell to learn, in the months Qrow had he took me on side missions from Ozpin. Those took months to complete, around two months tops, the rest he spent nailing me down with a training regime, and fighting him while drunk, never have I seen a man whip a sword so fast in my fucking life. Apparently, when Qrow unlocked my aura, he compared it to a mediocre amount, but heavily capable in regenerating itself, saying it was like a core of never ending energy, like my soul was an eternal fire, but in just thinking my soul is who I am, so it would be obvious what I can be described as: Stubborn my soul is like a stubborn flame that refuses to die out comparing me to a rarity of novelty.

I'm not sure if I should be happy or I should be stunned by this fact. I could compare my soul to the magical core of a dragon. In the third month, I kept up with my training while Qrow was gone, he was off saying it was important for him to go alone, I assume a main mission from Oz. Clearly, once I build enough trust with Qrow I'll admit my secret. I trust my reasoning for that drunk over anyone else is because he is actually the most sane person. Ozpin is delusionally fighting for good, Glynda along with Ironwood and Raven would outright tell it to their respective leaders. The reason why Qrow is because he is the closest thing to a family guy as humanly possible. I must admit, it feels good to think out my plans.

Fourth and Fifth months, I was met with surprise. So apparently, Qrow is learning to restrict his drinking pace by learning how to be a father like figure. Eh, I guess he could be considered a second dad. So I didn't know that, in all honesty, I learned how to use one advanced aura technique during my time alone, it was {Burst}. I was actually just wondering if flaring aura could be continuous…

(Flashback)

"Okay. Maybe I should make the stance a little more… movement ready?" I mumbled to himself as I stood here in the woods as I held up a stance my legs slightly spread out, the blade pointing a downward direction and away from the front, bending my knees into position, I looked in front of me and flared my aura, which resulted in a slight movement. I let it flare again, but frequently let it continue as I exuded more aura to fire up, it became more and more obvious that my posture was altered to being pushed forward, so I let it rip entirely, I lunged forward and to what I could only comprehend as super blitz speed, I crashed and broken down two trees while I launched myself…

{Flashback End}

Qrow came back to see me in bandages and I had to explain what happened, he took interest in the skill I used so I gave it a full name. {Aura Burst} since I was replicating the effects of Mana Burst from Fate/Stay Night, I have homage to it with it. Sixth, Seventh and Eighth, were about me learning how to use my sword and probably learning how to probably {Aura Burst}, flaring aura is not an easy thing, especially if you continuously do it, Qrow can manage it very easily due to his skills, but why did he take an interest- oh, more skills mean more advantages to have in battle… well shit, unfortunately for me I had to take a beating of a stick to get my posture and stance right for battle, it wasn't fun.

Finally it came around for the twelfth month. The entire year passed. I'm not sure how I survived. Qrow's training was brutal on my body, since I usually slacked off at home I had no muscle, which he had to build up while I was being trained. This was the end of the year test to see if I had improved my skill thanks to training, Qrow said he'd be half serious. I'm not going to make it out alive with ease.

"Kid, ya done writing yer stuff?" Qrow spoke in a slightly slurred accent, you can tell he is intoxicated, why? Well… let's say I had some fun making Qrow going to Atlas.

"Yeah, I'm done writing." I spoke up aloud, as I placed my pen down and closed my book, shoving it into a drawer, as I picked up the sheathed Void Eater and slung it to my back as I headed down stairs for this other house, Qrow brought, I convinced him others to stop relying on sleeping in others houses, at least for the time being. I assume he still sleeps in Taiyang's house and this is my own house at times.

Qrow and I were outside the house in a grassland field, conceding to the point that this was a test for my improvement. I'm not sure how this will turn out, I mean I haven't unlocked my semblance. So that's worrying…

"Alright kid, you know what's the deal here, so ready when you are." Qrow said as he went into his stance, holding Harbinger, that tri-Weapon of fuckery is scary for me. I unsheathed Void Eater, revealing the black blade in all its glory. As we started, well, I started off with a Big Bang, I rocketed forward using Aura Burst to do so, he met with an equally strong force not even using the aura technique I used. It just goes to show how serious he is taking me, half is half I'll get better over time to whoop his ass… I hope.

"Starting off strong, eh?" Qrow remarked as he swung Harbinger over my head, as I swung Void Eater to meet it halfway as I used my legs to kick the drunk only for him to slide away from the attack over all and pulling back his weapon as he started to shift into it's shotgun mode as he fired two rounds one of which I had to dodge and taking the other with pain.

"Fuck, ow ow ow." I muttered as I rubbed my shoulder, the place I was shot at. I focused my attention to Qrow as he was bulldozing right towards me, I had to meet him halfway, or— I swung my sword flaring the weapon mid swing as it activated the wind dust and gravity dust in the blade respectively creating a heavy blast of wind to emerge from the weapon's swinging arc. As Qrow used Harbinger to take the blow only to feel the weight of the actual swing, as he was pushed back heavily the earth under his feet gave way to marks from the knockback. I could only stare in awe. "First time for everything, right Qrow?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Didn't know that weapon could pack a heavy punch it's like I felt the real hit against Harbinger." Qrow replied with a smirk as I rushed forward activating Aura Burst as I sprung into the air and slammed down Void Eater as it met with Harbinger again, I was taken by surprise of what happened next as I felt a kick to my gut as I saw Qrow perform a high kick just to make me let go of my weapon… shit.

"Agh!" I landed on my feet as I held a hand over my stomach area. "Fuck that hurt." Now I was disarmed and wanting my sword back. This was the long game now. I didn't know any physical CQC, few I could rarely recall, boxing I know but against an expert with a weapon I'm screwed.

"What are you going to do without your weapon, Kid?" Qrow said as he stabbed Void Eater into the ground and spun Harbinger. I went into a sprinting stance as I flared my aura to life, my eyes focused on the prize at hand. My soul twitched at a moment's notice.

"I'll show you what I'm going to do!" I roared out as I let my hands go from the firm position. I could hear something… as if it was calling to me… Your foundation has been set… born of another world, your will is diamond, your soul is the dragon in slumber, as you said. Rip and Tear until it is done! It spoke as I roared out in a flash my body was layered with aural armor, I moved faster than I went when I was fighting Qrow, the next two seconds all Qrow said was a black blitz of a line as he moved out of the way timing his dodge perfectly. As I grabbed the sword from the ground and jumped up into the air. Qrow could see me clearly, he was surprised certainly, but he didn't think a transformation semblance would be like this.

This time my focus shifted as I flare my aura as I swung Void Eater during another blast of wind pressure as it slammed down on Harbinger's flat edge as I ended up on the ground, only to feel lightheaded, then a miragine, then I blacked out. "Kid? Kid!" Was all I heard when I began to black out. All I could feel after that was the cold earth and my confusion leaking out.

My eyes shot open from confusion, as I rose from my slumber I could feel something wasn't right, like I wasn't… what was the word… unaware anymore, I was relaxed. Looking at my hands, no change, chest? No change. I stood up and walked to the mirror, no facial changes either. Void Eater wasn't with me, I remembered that, I was focused on Void Eater.

"The dragon awoken from the slumber?" I muttered. The voice in the back of my mind, it sounded like… Arthur Pendragon. I double take to the mirror as I look at my body. I noticed a change, my aura. It's color shifted slightly, I knew it's color was black, pure black, but it's more akin to a night sky now.

"In...stall, Dragon." I muttered unconsciously as the command was responsive, as my aura flared to life as my arms covered in a layer of aura taking form as gauntlets, following up came a chestplate with white lines that followed around, pauldrons took shape at my shoulders as my legs were covered over with greaves, ending with a manifestation of a tail cloth of aura at the sides of holsters, with aural armor covering my sides, I finally focused back to my chest were I spotted a lone piece at the center of the chestplate and reaching to the bottom of the neck was my emblem. Finally what I saw was the mask for Saber Alter, the White lines were shown making an uprising from the bottom sides. It was immediately notice that I saw my aura leaking out like a fog, I felt stronger, faster my physical body was sturdy, my senses where upped to the ninth degree, I couldn't come to accept it, I went to grab Void Eater, as I slung it to the back as I looked at my entire figure now.

"Wow, I look edgy." I said with a small smile.

"That's an understatement, kid." I turned around to see the new voice in the room, it was Qrow. "Glad to see you're in control this time. Armor semblances I've seen but this one takes the cake. How do you feel?" He asked as I looked down at the armor and back to him.

"I feel… stronger. I'm okay, I don't have any headaches,I feel like I have a better sixth sense? I don't know but I feel more aware." I replied as I looked at the ground, as I concentrated as the armor and sword vanished. "Eh?" I thought as I feel my back lighten, turning around I saw my sword missing. "Shit!" I muttered.

"Ha! Guess your semblance takes anything you add on to it." Qrow said with a smile. "Got an idea to get it back?" I nodded.

"Include, Sword." I said aloud as Void Eater materialized in my right hand with it's sheath. "I think…" I said for a moment looking at the sword before dissipating it back into whatever it was. "I'll hold that on as a secret weapon, maybe I should get another sword for outside usage besides using my semblance." I remarked with a small smile.

"Kid, that is great and all but making another sword?" Qrow looked at me with a deadpan expression.

"... I'll include an engine?" I added with a shrug as I looked at him back.

"... Fair enough." He replied. "Come on, I know a guy who might help." Qrow started to walk out the room following after him with one thing in mind. "Yaaaas!" I shouted for victory.

Qrow: Alright, Kid. Imma have to stop you right there.

Qrow: Too many fucking swords.

Around Zero and Qrow are legitimately over hundreds of swords, including Lightsabers.

Zero: What about the bunker?

Qrow (Confused): What bunker?

Zero: We have a bunker.

Qrow: Since when!?

Zero showed a hole which seemed to be blown up, under a carpet.
