Remnant Vs The Underworld King
Mard Gear: He is from Natsu Dragneel's world and the founder of the Dark Guild Tartoros. He is an etherious, demons birthed from the book of Zeref. Even among the other demons, he was known as the "Underworld Kind" and the "Definite Demon"...For he had the strength to rightfully claim those titles as one of the strongest demons.
(FLASHBACK)
"So...why pick him?"
"Hmm?"
It was dark in the council meeting. Barely anything or anyone could be seen. Probably because no one really used this room. There was a small red light that illuminated the glass table but barely shined light on whoever sat on the chairs around it.
There were two individuals: Jack and Sing-love. The ones who used this room mostly for leisurely conversations.
"Mard Gear. Why bring him here?"
Jack looked at her with a neutral casual face and shrugged, "Thought it would be interesting...why you ask?"
"Just walked past him. Gave me a weird look... I don't like him."
"I thought you two would get along. After all, you both hate humans with a passion."
Sing-love remained silent. Jack stared, intrigued by her silent response. There was no further conversation after that.
(FLASHBACK ENDS)
Mard Gear, in his human form, walked towards the school. He was in a very awful mood as if a disgusting taste had constantly been dormant in his mouth. Choas was everywhere. Constant battles raged on between the enemy and the allies. Skeletons charged at police guards. It was difficult to hear anything among the constant gunfire and explosions.
The body of a defeated giant alien robot suddenly appeared above him and fell towards him. The demon didn't even look in that direction and swatted it away like it was a fly. A bullet hit Mard Geer in the forehead. He didn't flinch.
"Hmm? Thoes insects aren't dead? Humans here seems to be a bit more durable here. Is it because of that "aura" thing that Jack spoke off."
A whip wrapped around the demon's leg. Ashley pulled however Mard Gear didn't budge.
David appeared coming from the side with a body made of fire. A large flame ball had gathered in his hand and he smashed it directly on the demon's head causing an explosion with Mard Geer right in the centre of it.
Without seeing whether the attack did damage, Nathan summoned a barrage of floating metal shields with his semblance and threw them all towards the explosion.
David switched to his original form and fired a red dust arrow.
Nathan fired several lasers with his twin laser guns.
Allisa emptied all the bullets in her revolver.
Ashley wrapped her whip around a large piece of stone debris and threw it at their opponent.
Their combined attacks created a continuous onslaught for several seconds before they stopped. The smoke cleared slowly.
The four allies were all tensed. They were all injured already by their first encounter with this demon. They all had to ignore the pain of their wounds in order to stop this powerful individual from entering the school.
"How annoying."
They all looked in disbelief. The demon stood exactly where they had attacked him. His foot hadn't moved a single centre meter.
"So boring. I expected more from people from another universe."
"Another universe?" Nathan repeated in confusion, he attempted to stall for time to let their auras heal them a bit, "Who are you!? Why are you attacking Beacon? What's your purpose?"
However it didn't work as Mard Geer had no interest in talking to another human. He raised his hand towards Allisa.
Nathan's aura sensed immense danger. He stood in front of Allisa out of reflex with a shield.
Giant, green, thorny vines appeared from the ground and headed towards them at insane speeds. The thorns pierced through both Nathan's shield and chest-plate as if they were made of sand. The sharp thorns cut Nathan's already existing wounds, opening them further and increasing the pain.
"Nathan!"
"I'm fine! Keep fighting! We can't let him enter Beacon!"
Allisa quickly reloaded her revolver.
Nathan dashed towards Mard Geer. More thorns appeared. Ashley followed behind him and swiftly swung her whip, cutting any thorns that went near them.
David dove to the side to avoid a thorn and fired an ice arrow at the demon's hand, freezing it.
Allisa fired all eight bullets at a time. In the demon's eyes, the bullets moved slowly. He moved his head to evade but to his annoyance, the bullets mysteriously curved to hit him anyway. Even though Allisa's semblance prevented her from missing her target, to the Underworld King, her attacks were no different to the attacks of a pesky fly.
Nathan and Ashley reached where Mard Geer were. Changing his guns into twin swords, he swung them at the demon's head. Mard Geer yawned as he casually evaded every attack. Ashley slashed her whip, firing a laser slash. Mard Geer deflected it with his hand. Changing her whip into a sword, the female Huntress powerfully swung her weapon down on the demon's head. At the same time, Nathan swung his sword.
Mard Geer caught both attacks with his bare hands. A bullet hits him in the eye and an arrow gets him in the shoulder however neither attacks fazed the demon. Ashley and Nathan pushed their blades with all the might but Mard Geer's strength was beyond anything they had imagined.
The demon kicked Nathan in the stomach and then lifted Ashley into the air before smashing her into the ground. Before they could recover, thorns appeared from behind and pierced both Nathan and Ashley in the back. The wound was deep.
More vines wrapped around their necks, arms and legs, choking them. As if mocking them, Mard Geer raised both his hands towards their heads...and flicked them. This delivered a huge amount of force that knocked both of them out. Their eyes turned white, showing their unconsciousness as they slowly fell.
In a fit of anger, David touched the ground and turned into a body of stone. He jumped at the demon.
Allisa fired bullets at Mard Geer's eyes in hopes of at least blinding him for a few seconds.
It did not stop the thorns however as more appeared. They pierced and mobilised both David and Allisa. They were choked and strangled slowly to death. Mard Geer did not even look at them as this happened. Acting as if he had just crushed a bug.
Suddenly, a powerful purple hostile aura coloured the air with purple.
Everyone looked.
Ashley had woken up. The atmosphere radiated with horror and anxiety as her semblance ignited widely, even affecting her own teammates.
The Underworld King simply looked in diguist as Ashley glared daggers at him, "So revolting. Typical of humans."
A sword swiftly came towards the demon's head which was caught by two of his fingers.
The sword, still held by the demon's fingers, transformed into a whip. Attached to the whip were mini laser turrets that opened fire on the demon at point blank range. The demon king jumped back from the smoke, unscathed. Charging from the smoke was Ashley swinging her whip all her negative might.
Her attack slashed his check which left the demon both with a cut on his face and immensely agitated.
Vines emerged from the ground beneath Ashley's feet. They were all sliced swiftly by the huntress.
"This is beginning to annoy me."
The demon lifted his foot and smashed the ground while at the same time, summoning more vines to attack the huntress. Startled by this move, Ashley stepped back and sliced the incoming thorns. Ashley then charged towards the demon who in response, swiftly jumped back and clicked his fingers, activating his curse power.
"Prison Flower!"
A giant rose appeared between Ashley and Mard Geer. The rose had thorns which moved by itself and attacked Ashley. Slashing swiftly, Ashley sliced all the thorns and in one strong swing, sliced the entire flower in half.
The huntress quickly pursued the demon. Despite her injuries, Ashley picked up speed and swung faster with each swing.
The demon looked bored as he dodged and blocked with nothing but his quick movements and arms. Slowly, Ashley began slowing down. It allowed the demon to deliver a few hits on her, each hit feeling like the hit of a sledge hammer.
A thorn emerged from behind Ashley and pierced her through the back. Another thorn grabbed her sword. More vines appeared and began choking her. To finish it off, the demon jumped an inhuman height backwards and used his cursed power to summon another different rose, "Learn your place, human."
"Ashley!" David yelled.
Ashley's semblance began fading and David could move again.
The flower began glowing, which David's aura sensed to be extremely dangerous.
David's body suddenly disappeared and a vicious gust of wind blew in all directions. A bullet hit Mard Geer's eye. He blinked.
When he opened his eyes, he looked and saw David's leg which was made of air. David's leg swung down at Mard Geer's head.
"Wind Kick!"
At the same time his foot hit it's target, the flower engulfed the field in a huge explosion.
Seconds went by, the sound of chaotic battles was still present in the background.
The smoke cleared. Mard Geer stayed standing, completely unharmed. The four huntsmen were gone.
"Cowards."
Holding his book close to him, the demon walked towards the school.
"So what's a normal girl like you doing amongst all this chaos?"
Natalia Ellingsworth, the daughter of one of the huntsman trying to defend beacon, kneeled down with a heart that was beating fast from all the stress and fear. She didn't know what made her do such a crazy thing like going straight into the war that surrounded Beacon just to check if her dad was okay. After seeing the news, it felt like she was dragged here by her worry.
"T-thank you so much!" Natalia said to her saviour before she forgot, "My father-"
"Is here fighting? Not much you can do right now. You'll only put yourself in danger. You should get to safe-"
Nathalia's saviour stopped abruptly and looked in a certain direction as if sensing something dangerous.
Commander Steal approached the two girls with extra ally reinforcements.
"Chelsea!" Steal called as soon as he noticed them.
"Steel, great timing! Get this girl to safety please. I need to go."
"Wait!" Natalia called out as Chelsea began leaving, "My father, will he be okay?"
"You're father is doing his best. So make sure you do your best to survive for him."
Before Natalia could reply, Chelsea ran off.
Jaune looked around as they ran, "Where's Ruby again?"
"To look for Mato and her friends." Blake replied before turning back briefly to fire a few bullets.
Yang's expression didn't hide her unending concern, "We should look for her! She might be in trouble."
"Well if Mato and her friends are with her then she should be fine right?" Said Weiss, who was actually equally as concerned as Yang.
The white princess used glyphs to boost everyone forward.
"We're going to be in trouble ourselves if we don't run across any other allies." Sun stated.
"Everyone! On your left!"
Smashing through the windows were another horde of skeletons. Everyone jumped to right. Coco aimed her machine gun and allowed her bullets to rip through the skeletons.
They continued running away from the giant alien robots. The huge number of robots made it feel like they were being chased by a flood. The fact that they had injured to carry due to their previous battle with Death Gun made it even worse.
Their fatigue was slowly becoming iron weights on their body that was only getting heavier as each second passed. The distance between the retreating huntsmen and the enemy was decreasing.
It was at that point, Coco made a decision and stopped running abruptly. She turned around and faced the incoming horde of enemies.
"Coco! What are yo-"
"Don't argue with me! I'll hold them off! Go!" Coco ordered.
The enemies were quickly getting closer. Jaune made the quick decision to keep going, wishing Coco good luck and promising they'll come back with help.
Naturally, Coco's team stayed by their leader's side. Yatsuhashi raised his sword and cracked the ground opened in front of the alien robots. Coco changed her purse into a machine gun and let her bullets loose. Vevlet and Fox, even while injured, fought any robots that got across the crack, flew over or climbed the walls and ceilings to get to Coco.
While the enemy was immensely overwhelming, it did slow them down which allowed Team RWBY, JNPR and SSSN to gain some distance.
They ran and ran.
The sound of battle and destruction was present no matter how far they ran. One moment they're in middle of a fight between an Atlesian Paladin and a giant alien robot, next they see skeletons fighting Vale soldiers.
It seemed the chances of finding allies who would be able to help was decreasing by the minute.
There were lingering enemies that appeared in their way, but they swiftly took care of them without stopping.
Jaune was looking for a particular set of students who he knew were most likely fighting to protect Beacon as well. However it was difficult to spot them under all this Choas.
"Should we search outside? No, we would be running into both ally and enemy fire. But what if they're outside?" Jaune tried to think as they ran. It seemed the stress from when they fought Death Gun was only growing inside Jaune's mind.
He didn't know what to do besides run and run. But he didn't know how long until their legs give in. He had hoped they might be in the library, only to find that the library had been completely annihilated and was beyond recognition.
"Think Jaune. Thi-"
"JAUNE! Up ahead!" Pyrrha yelled.
"Is it them?"
"No."
In the distance, stood a mysterious young man. His dark purple hair was long and wavy. He wore a long black jacket and held a book that had the letters "END" on it.
"Everyone, that guy is bad news." Blake said seriously. Her instincts and aura were screaming at her like red alarms.
Another split second decision Jaune had to make as they ran towards this ominous individual.
"No ally would be wondering around alone at a time like this," Jaune quickly made the call, "Blake! Sun! We'll distract him! Everyone else run. We can't afford another fight that may drag out."
Jaune charged in, shield first and sword swinging second.
Sun and Blake jumped to both sides and fired bullets.
Sun and Blake were both Faunus with heightened senses meaning they should be able to get away and catch up with the others afterwards, Jaune thought.
Using her glyphs, Weiss boosted everyone, right past the individual. However she had to abruptly stop everyone with her glyphs when a wall of giant vines appeared in front of them.
Without even looking, the mysterious individual evaded every bullet fired at him and every swing Jaune threw at him. He then threw a punch at Jaune's sheild. The blow was so strong that Jaune felt the punch directly hit his chest through the shield.
More wall of vines appeared behind them and around the windows of the hallway. They were trapped.
"Is that all? I guess no matter where they come from, humans will always be pesky insects."
A dark aura radiated into the room. A powerful aura that made everyone else shiver. Everyone's aura was desperately telling them to run away from this person. Not that they could.
Jaune's and Blake's intuition was right: He was an enemy and a very powerful one.
"Who are you?!" Blake demanded, "Are you part of this attack?! Why are you doing all this?"
A smirk appeared on the demon's face as Blake's aggressiveness amused him, "No matter how loud an ant yells, Mard Geer couldn't possible hear it."
"ARGH!" Yang cried out with anger and red eyes, "WE'VE GOT NO TIME FOR THIS! I NEED TO FIND MY SISTER!"
"Yang wait!" cried her teamates but it was too late.
Yang launch herself at the demon with incredible speed. Speed that unfortunately looked slow in the demon's eyes.
Hoping to finish everything in one blow, Yang placed all her strength into one punch. Mard Geer caught it. With ease.
The smirked on his face angered Yang even more, but before she could attack again, Mard Geer punched her in the stomach. Blood spilled out of Yang's mouth as she was sent flying and crashing into the vine wall.
"YANG!"
Yang fell to the floor. She wasn't moving.
"Opps, is she dead already? Even with your aura shields, humans are as fragile as ever."
Jaune shook as he thought, "One hit? How can he- wait no, Yang was already fatigued from the previous fight and all the running. Maybe that's why...but still: ONE HIT?"
Vines emerged from the ground and attacked Weiss and Yang.
"The vines are moving by themselves! How?!" Pyrrha cried out.
"What kind of magic is that?!" Nora exclaimed.
"Oh I assure you, this is no magic." Mard Geer smirked.
Weiss summoned a glyph to shield her. The glyphs barely deflected the vines and it was taking all of her strength to maintain it. She slowly got pushed back towards the vine wall.
Ren and Nora ran to guard Yang's body. Slicing and smashing all vines that came close.
Blake, Neptune, Sun, Pyrrha and Jaune all charged forward. Sage and Scarlet were still injured so all they could do was provide cover by firing any vine that tried getting close.
Sun jumped over him.
Neptune blocked.
Blake threw a kick.
Jaune swung his sword.
Pyrrha fired at point blank range.
All of which, Mard Geer simply evaded.
"His playing with us." Jaune observed.
Sun's staff turned into nunchucks and guns and he swung, shot, swung, shot, still matching the timing of his teammate's attacks.
Mard Geer, despite Sun's swift monkey movements, still avoided each attack and even managed to deflect several bullets with his finger.
Blake managed to wrapped a ribbon around his leg but it didn't budge when she pulled.
Pyrrha and Jaune combined their sword and shield combo by timing their swings and blocks perfectly.
Neptune spun his trident before swinging it at his head. Mard Geer grabbed it with his hand and threw Neptune across the field.
Blake slipped past his blind spot and landed a sword on his shoulder. However the sword broke and failed to pierce his skin.
Blake and Sun attacked from behind and Jaune and Pyrrha attacked his front, shields first. Attacks from all four side were thrown at him, yet the demon continued playing with them. Occasionally hitting Blake in the shoulder, kicking Jaune's foot, stepping on Sun's tail and flicking Pyrrha's head.
The four were slowly losing and the demon looked as if he hadn't broken a sweat yet.
Predicting the flow of their movements, Mard Geer grabbed Sun's face and smashed him into the ground.
"Sun!" Blake cried out as she aimed a gun at the demon's head.
The demon picked up Sun and smashed her using Sun as if he was a baseball bat. The two Faunus were sent crashing into the thorny vine walls.
Pyrrha aimed her rifle. Mard Geer grabbed the tip of the rifle and blocked the bullet before it even left the gun. He ripped it out of Pyrrha's hand and threw it away.
A vine emerged and headed straight for Pyrrha's neck. Jaune jumped in and protected her with his shield. They both then jumped back.
"NORA! WEISS!" Jaune called.
"On it!" Weiss spun the chamber of her rapier and summoned a ball of ice.
Nora then pulled back her hammer and hit the ball of ice like a baseball towards the Underworld King. Neptune also got back up and fired a laser beam which combined with the ice ball. The ice ball left a trail of electric ice as it went towards Mard Geer.
A massive spinning sphere appeared in Mard Geer's hand. He fired an immense wooden beam.
"Dea Yggdrasil!"
The beam ripped through the electrical ice ball and towards Weiss, Nora and Neptune. Weiss tried to block with glyph while Neptune spun his trident rapidly to make an air sheild. However both were useless as Mard Geer's attack went through and exploded. The three of them cried out in pain!
"WEISS!/NORA!/Neptune!"
Red sprinted towards the demon.
Pyrrha threw her shield.
The demon moved his head to evade.
Ren dropped one of his guns and jumped to grab Pyrrha's shield in mid-air and then used the momentum to swing it at Mard Geer. The demon reacted swiftly and caught the shield with his hand.
He then threw Ren towards Pyrrha. Ren let go of the shield and did a few flips to soften his landing. Pyrrha dodged and caught her shield. They both approached Mard Geer and attacked.
Mard Geer blocked, evaded and blocked with nothing but his arms and excellent hand to hand combat skills.
He went for a punch when Pyrrha was opened. Jaune interffered and blocked with his sheild again. But once again, the punch was so powerful that it felt like a direct hit.
"What power. Each of his punches feels more powerful than a cannon ball."
Mard Geer then kicked the side of Jaune's head, almost knocking him out.
He then punched both Ren and Pyrrha in the stomach making them both cough out blood. To finish it off, with both his hands, he karate chopped both Ren and Pyrrha in the back of their neck, incredibly hard. The impact was enough to make both of them black out.
Jaune stood up again, his vision becoming blurry. He was the only one left.
"Is that it? The humans outside were more impressive than you."
Jaune gripped his sword. His entire team was just wiped out like they were ants.
"I'm bored of-"
"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Jaune screamed as he sprinted at Mard Geer, swinging his sword.
"Time to end this."
Multiple giant roses appeared on the field around everyone and began glowing. It didn't take a genius to realise what they were all going to do.
"Explosion."
"Everyone. I'm sorry." If Jaune was going down, he was at least going to go down with a fight.
He jumped at the demon and successfully slashed his chest.
But Mard Geer simply yawned.
With that, the entire area exploded. Before darkness, the last thing Jaune saw...was a rose.
Jaune opened his eyes. Very alive.
"Was it a dream?"
He got up and saw all the chaos around them still happening, he also saw everyone else lying on the ground, groaning in pain but still alive.
"No it wasn't. But then how-"
"I'm sorry I wasn't here early."
Jaune looked to see who had saved them.
Their saviour wore a familiar red hoodie which Jaune recognised but he sensed something different.
"You did a good job Jaune. I was able to pull everyone out since you distracted that demon with that last charge...Don't worry. Leave everything to me."
"Ruby? Is that you?"
The red hooded figure looked at Jaune with a smile, "Nope."
Meanwhile, back in the area where Mard Geer was.
"Are you just going to keep watching...White Rock Shooter?" The demon asked.
Sitting casually on top of a broken wall was Sing-love, holding her giant white scythe.
"What do you think of Jack?" She asked.
The demon was bewildered by the random question at a time like this but still answered, "He's an immature brat. Those dimensional powers he controls are wasted on a brat like him...don't you think so?"
"Not really. Unlike you I came here out of my own free will."
Mard Geer raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?...you...do you..."
It was silent for a few seconds. The demon thought about something for a moment as he observed Sing-love's expression.
"Do you really hate humans?" He finally asked.
That question triggered something strange in Sing-love. An emotion she didn't know she was capable of feeling: confused.
The white haired woman smiled, a bit annoyed, "I really don't like you."
Mard Geer widened his eyes in amusement, "Was that a challenge?"
The two villains radiated dangerous auras that shook the ground.
"Oh my, am I interrupting something?"
Sing-love and Mard Geer looked to see who had said that. A woman had entered the field. Sucking on a lollipop, she had pink hair, pale skin and wore vocalist like clothing with white sleeves.
"Here to avenge your comrades?" Mard Geer smirked.
"Stay out of this human." Sing-love glared.
"Sorry... but I can't do that." Chelsea replied.
White Rock Shooter vs The Underworld King vs The Most Wanted Criminal: Chelsea Gladstone
Sing-love reappeared behind Mard Geer and smashed him with her scythe.
The sudden powerful impact moved Mard Geer a step away from his original spot.
Chelsea transform into an armoured August Serena, the second most wanted criminal. She swings her sword so hard that it sends a dark powerful wind blade towards both Sing-love and Mard Geer.
They both evaded.
Giant thorns appear and attack both Chel-August and Sing-love. The ones near Sing-love were sliced instantly. Chel-August was strong and able to cut the thorns but she was slower than the vines. One of the vines grabbed her leg and threw her towards the ceiling.
Sing-love summoned her rock cannon and fired at Chel-August before flying towards Mard Geer to kick him. Mard Geer had swift movements but Sing-love seemed to exceed him in speed. Not to mention each of her attacks was as powerful as a cannon times by hundred.
However, the demon's body seem to be extremely durable as not even Sing-love's scythe could slice off his arm.
A rose appeared beneath Sing-love and exploded.
August's armour seemed to be enough to tank the shots from Sing-love. Still in the air near the ceiling, Chelsea transformed into Dr Frost, the fourth most wanted criminal and froze the entire lower section of the hallway.
Within seconds, the ice shattered into pieces. Vines emerged from the ice and threw themselves towards Chelsea. At the same time, Sing-love appeared behind Chelsea while she was still falling, and swung her scythe. Chelsea transformed into Ruby and turned into rose petals to barely evade, the scythe cutting off only a piece of Chel-Ruby's hair. .
The vines changed its target to Sing-love. The white haired alien chopped them all into pieces and summoned her rock cannon to fire several flaming rocks towards ground from the sky. The attack caused an explosion around Mard Geer, and destroyed any traces of ice. The explosion rivalled the explosion of Mard Geer's roses.
As expected, Mard Geer emerged from the smoke, completely unharmed. The demon blinked and suddenly a scythe met his face and he was sent flying, crashing into the wall which crumbled at the instant amount of force that was thrown at it.
White Rock Shooter stopped and looked, her right eye still burning a bright magenta flame.
When the smoke from the debris cleared, Mard Geer was seen siting on the debris, casually: one leg crossed over the other and his head resting on his hand.
The Alien Queen stared at the Underworld Kind who was still smirking.
"Is that all?" She said, "Are you sick or something?"
"Oh I was just wondering...Don't you have a final form? I believe you called it: EX-mode."
"How about you? I was told a bit about you so called Etherious Form."
"Well, you see I was waiting for you to use your final form first, then I could judge from there whether using my full power would be necessary or not."
Sing-love's eye twitched, as she gave the demon a hateful, sarcastic. smile, "What a coincidence."
Demonic exploding roses appeared beneath the queen and a rock cannon was aimed at the king. Explosions blew in all directions.
They clashed and charged at each other. As they charged at each other, their eyes looked to the side.
From the side, two knifes were thrown.
Mard Geer dodged. Sing-love caught it with two fingers.
Chelsea, who was now Debra Stalker, the fifth most wanted criminal, dived in towards them from below and was seen right between Mard Geer and Sing-love.
She reached out both her arms, "If I can just touch them once, my semblance will-"
The two inhuman beings sensed something and instinctively jumped back an incredible distance from her. Chel-Debra gritted her teeth and swiftly threw two knifes at each of her opponents. The knifes traveled as fast as bullets.
Sing-love dodged. Mard Geer caught them.
They had jumped an incredible distance away from Chelsea. Yet within another second, they were both right above her.
Sing-love swung her white sword while Mard Geer went for a point blank range Dea Yggdrasil with the intent of hitting both Chelsea and Sing-love.
Chelsea transformed into August and planned to tank it with August's indestructible armour.
The attacks made a hit.
Chel-August's armour was cracked, something only Black was able to do. She felt a sharp cold pain where Sing-love had sliced her.
However she could still move. In one smooth swift second, she transformed into Wolfheim, the third most wanted criminal, used his semblance to transform into a gorilla Grimm and threw a giant punch at Mard Geer. The demon blocked the fierce attack with sharp vines.
Sing-love jumped back and threw an air blade with his scythe, hitting both Mard Geer and Chelsea.
They were both sent flying. Mard Geer landed safety, however, the same couldn't be said about the wanted criminal as she crashed hard into a wall.
Chelsea reverted back into her original form, bleeding from multiple places.
She coughed viciously. A few hits and she was down. She had used all her most powerful transformations and still wasn't able to land a proper scratch on either opponents.
Mard Geer raised his hand to finish her with his vines but a flaming rock hit him in the face, interrupting his move.
The two powerful beings battled again, continuing as if Chelsea was never even part of the battle in the first place.
"These two are ridiculously strong!" Chelsea thought to herself, "And they both still haven't used all their strength? This is bad. Should I have just waited for those two to finish fighting and clean from there?...No...where's the honour in that?"
Another explosion and another clash. It seemed neither the Alien Queen or the Underworld King were showing any signs of being worn out. This battle was going to drag out and most likely destroy most of the field, if not, the whole school.
Suddenly they both stopped as they sensed something.
They looked and saw Chelsea who had transformed into Jaune.
Mard Geer sneered, "That human being? Of all your choices, you choose that sorry excuse of a breathing animal. He was-"
"You two..."
Mard Geer raised an eyebrow. Sing-love just stared.
"Really need to stop looking down on Remnant!"
Chel-Jaune's aura grew brightly and all of Chelsea's wounds suddenly healed.
The demon stared, slightly confused. The Jaune he fought wasn't able to do that when he fought him before, "Does that mean she can-"
Chel-Jaune sprinted forward which in their eyes seemed like suicide.
Continuing to underestimate her, Mard Geer sent vines while Sing-love fired a few flaming rocks at her before they both turned their attention to each other. Raising her shield, Chel-Jaune tanks Sing-love's flaming rocks before slicing the vines with her sword.
While Sing-love and Mard Geer were back to fighting each other, Chelsea transformed into Ruby Rose and began using her speed semblance to form a rose petal tornado around the two supernatural beings.
Mard Geer sent his giant thorns however they were sliced into pieces by the rose petals that acted like blades. Sing-love followed Chel-Ruby with her eyes. The mimicking criminal spun rapidly around them with the demon and alien right in the centre of it. She was reminded of Blanc's hammer tornado however it wasn't nearly as impressive...or so she thought.
Still in Ruby's form, Chelsea summoned Coco's machine gun and Nora's grenade launcher.
The tornado of petals swiftly turned into a red tornado filled with bullets and grenades, all aimed at Mard Geer and Sing-love.
The two individuals were still unaffected but both had different reaction: Mard Geer was unimpressed while Sing-love began taking interest, "So now she can combine the abilities she copies."
Mard Geer raised his hand to stop Chelsea which was abruptly smashed by a scythe. The white scythe then hooked onto the demon's shoulder. On the other side, a white sword went down on him; he grabbed it and held back Sing-love's immense strength. Vines emerged and wrapped around Sing-love's neck and arms, pulling her back.
"Why are you protecting that human?!"
"Sshh," Sing-love smiled, "I want to see what she does."
Chelsea reached the top of the tornado and turned into Weiss. Spinning the chamber of Weiss' rapier, a large ice boulder appeared. Stepping on the boulder and using glyphs to speed her up, Chelsea went around the boulder and wrapped it up using Blake's ribbons.
A large glyph appeared and out came a white giant bird. Turning into a red eyed Yang, Chelsea landed on the bird and grabbed the end of the ribbon that was attached to the boulder.
With one large cry of Yang's strength, Chelsea threw the boulder down the middle of the tornado towards Mard Geer and Sing-love.
With the white haired alien holding the demon back, the ice boulder collided into both of them and cracked the ground beneath them.
A second goes by and the ice boulder began cracking. Ice shards fly everywhere as Sing-love and a giant vine with Mard Geer on it went straight through the boulder and flew up towards Chelsea.
Pulling out Pyrrha's rifle, Chel-Yang flew down directly towards them while firing a few head shots. Sing-love was the first to reach Chelsea. She swung her white blade. Meeting her movements, Chelsea summoned Yatsuhashi's giant long sword and swung it with one arm, using the strength of Yang's semblance and gravity supporting her.
A large clang echoed through the field.
With her other arm, Chelsea also fired a shotgun shell at Mard Geer with Yang's gauntlet.
Mard Geer blocked with his arms and vines wrapped around the white bird Chel-Yang was riding and crushed it.
Chelsea transformed into Vevlet and hopped off the bird, while at the same time, evading Sing-love's rock cannon attack. She transformed into a Nora that had Yang's red eyes and Ruby's cape. Sing-love sliced her in half only to find that she had attacked an ice clone made by Blake's semblance.
Using Ruby's speed, Chel-Nora navigated swiftly past the attacking vines. With Ruby's ability boosting her speed and Yang boosting her strength, a hammer smashed into the demon's head. They both flew rapidly towards the ground with Sing-love following after them.
As they fell, the demon grabbed Chel-Nora's face as the ground was filled with thorny giant vines.
Sing-love raised her scythe.
Chelsea transformed into Ren, still holding the hammer that was pushing against Mard Geer. At the same time, she used David's and Nathan's semblance.
Nathan's to summons a shield.
David's to become a body made of the metal from the shield.
With Ren's aura and Nathan's shield, she blocked Sing-love attack from above.
Below she kept placing force into the hammer that pushed against Mard Geer's head despite the demon's hard iron grip on her face which would've been broken immediately by him if her face wasn't made of metal.
As a final touch, she used Ashley's semblance at full force. Ashley's negative aura radiated into both of them and the atmosphere. While it wasn't enough to freeze neither of her opponents, it was enough to slightly slow them down and make them flinch.
With that, they landed on the floor of sharp thorns with a boom that shook the field like a spaceship crash landing: Mard Geer first, Chelsea second and Sing-love third.
Smoke covered the entire area. It slowly faded as if revealing the results of a show.
Four large glyphs appeared in the sky and out came four giant white iron knights.
Two of the knights were sliced into pieces within seconds of their summoning and the other two were crushed at the mercy of giant vines.
The smoke cleared.
From the north of the area, Sing-love was seen smiling profusely, "Not bad human! Not bad at all!"
From the south of the area, Mard Geer was seen with a blank look, a bit disappointed with Sing-love's attitude, "To think you could be impressed by such primitive powers, White Rock Shooter."
In the centre, stood a bleeding Chel-Ren who still had Nora's hammer, Ruby's hood, Nathan's shield and Yang's red eyes, "Like I said...Stop looking down on Remnant!"
"Chelsea!"
From the East and West, huntsman and huntresses bursted into the field through the vine walls.
Team JNPR, RWBY and SSSN came from the east while Team CFVY, Nathan, David, Ashley and Allisa came from the west.
"We're here to help!" Nathan yelled.
"Look! Other huntsmen are here!" Jaune pointed out.
"It really is Chelsea! I thought she was arrested!" Weiss stared at said criminal with bewilderment.
"Glad you and your team are okay Coco." Sun said in relief.
"Ha! As if we would get beaten by a bunch of robots," Coco replied, "Although we did get some help."
Sing-love went silent.
"How did they all recover so quickly? Can their auras really heal that fast?" Mard Geer observed, "Hmph, its futile. You should've ran when you had the chance."
Multiple roses appeared all over the field and simultaneously exploded.
The explosion didn't even make Sing-love blinked. As for everyone else... none of the humans were hurt. Shields, a lot of them, were seen protecting everyone, all provided by Nathan and Chelsea. Along with that, Weiss had also used her glpyhs as an extra layer of protection.
Nathan raised his hand and all the shields floated up before they were all thrown at Mard Geer and Sing-love. Sing-love evaded each one. Mard Geer summoned a giant vine wall to protect him.
Air began blowing viciously. With David's kick, an air blade sliced the vine wall opened. This allowed, Yang, Ren, Nora, Pyrrha, Ashley to all enter and engaged with Mard Geer in close combat. From a distance, David shot with his bow, Coco fired with her machine gun and Weiss froze some of the vines.
Yatsuhashi swung his giant long sword at Sing-love. She blocked with her scythe. She moved her head just in time to avoid Fox's arm blade. From behind and her sides, Sage, Vevlet and Scarlet charged at her and attacked.
Jaune and David went to Chelsea with Sun, Allisa and Blake covering them.
"Chelsea! Are you ok?" Jaune asked with great concern. She was very injured.
"You guys actually came."
"Of course we did!" David replied, "As if we would leave a friend behind."
Sing-love heard that...and it left a foul taste in her mouth as it reminded her of the human who betrayed her, the one she used to love.
She disappeared from the huntsmen's sight. A large hard blow landed on both the back neck of Sage and Scarlet, knocking them out instantly. Fox was suddenly sent flying crashing into the wall by a scythe. Yatsuhashi blinked and a hand grabbed him, lifted him into the air and smashed him into the ground.
"Yatsu-"
A flaming eye glared at the bunny Faunus. Her animal instincts told her to run, Vevlet hopped an incredible height using the power of a bunny hop.
Vevlet shivered. Sing-love was right behind her, "She's too fas-"
The white haired woman kicked Vevlet down towards the ground. Sun jumped off a vine and caught the bunny girl before she hit the ground.
Jaune stared in absolute shock, "She took out five of us in an instant. Dealing with one strong enemy was already hard enough."
"Thank you everyone," Chelsea smiled as she placed her hand on the ground, "I'll leave that demon to you."
"Chelsea wait-"
Coco aimed her machine gun at Sing-love. Once again, the alien disappeared and reappeared behind the machine gun user. But before the alien queen could swing her sword, Sing-love saw a rose petal. A fist punched her in the stomach.
A ball of rose petals pushed Sing-love through the wall and out of the field into another area that was far away, leaving Mard Geer with all the huntsmen and huntresses from Remnant.
Sing-love was sent crashing through three sets of walls.
Ruby wasn't that strong the last time Sing-love checked which meant Chelsea had done one thing.
The alien queen stood up and looked.
In front of her was a woman who wore Ruby's red hood, held Crescent Rose but had a face that split into two different people. One side looked like half of Black Rock Shooter's face while the other side looked like half of Sing-love's face. Oddly enough, the two halves fit well together since Sing-love and Black practical looked identical besides their different hair and eye colour.
White Rock Shooter smiled with utter excitement as she forgot the previous mood, "INTERESTING HUMAN! VERY INTERESTING! I've always wanted to verse myself! HAHAHA! To think you had already met Black and Stella before this, what a small world."
"I'm sorry."
The alien queen flinched, "Hmm?"
"It must've really hurt...being betrayed by your beloved like that." Chelsea clutched her head, as if she had a large headache.
Sing-love stared, "So your semblance gives access to people's memories as welll...That's none of your business human."
Chel-Black/White's eyes began burning a blue and red flame as she activated Ashley's semblance to strike fear into Sing-love, not that it actually scared her.
"What's your name?" The alien queen asked.
"Chelsea Gladstone."
Sing-love grinned, "Very impressive. To be able to use such powerful skills all together, but I do wonder; if you had Black's power already, why didn't you use it before? Could it be...that you weren't confident you could use it effectively?"
"..." Chelsea's head began hurting.
"Tell me Chelsea," Sing-love said as she appeared behind Chelsea's back, "Can your human brain keep up?"
White Rock Shooter vs Chelsea Gladstone
Mard Geer...began having trouble dealing with these huntsmen and huntresses.
A shield hit his head. A staff hit his forehead. A rifle shot his shoulder. A sword sliced his knee. An arrow hit his chest. A trident stabbed his back.
Whenever he summoned vines, they were shot and sliced by Coco and David.
Whenever he evaded, another perfectly timed attack would hit him.
With the addition of Coco, David, Nathan, Ashley and Allisa, keeping track of everyone all at once was beginning to become difficult.
A revolver bullet hit the demon's eye, blinding him for a split second. In that split second, Yang was able to land a punch to his head. Mard Geer summoned a vine which got shot down by David's fire arrow. The demon threw a punch of his own. Nathan jumped in with a shield and blocked. Several floating shields from the sky fell towards the demon.
A wall of vines protected him. A rain of Coco's bullets ripped through that wall. Ashley swung her whip and wrapped it around his neck. Blake slid in and wrapped a strong black ribbon around his arm. Sun, with four of his clones, grabbed the demon's other arm and pulled.
With a body of metal, David helped Ashley pull.
Pyrrha fired at bullet at Mard Geer's head before sliding in to help Blake pull. Jaune joined Sun.
Together they pulled Mard Geer in three different directions.
More thorns appeared which were taken care of by Coco, Nathan, Weiss and Ren.
The vein on the demon's face became visible as he cried out. One of Neptune's laser beam hit him in the chest.
The demon yelled out in annoyance as he slowly broke free. Noticing this, they all let go and fire all their long range attacks on him, each landing a successful hit.
Nora used a grenade to fling herself towards the demon before hitting him with her hammer. The demon took a few steps back. He raised his arm as energy gathered in it, "Dea Yggdra-"
Yang dived in from below. Before the demon could fire, Yang delievered a powerful uppercut to his arm, changing the angle of the blast so that it aimed at the sky. This left the demon wide open. Yang took the chance and began rapidly barraging him with shotgun punches, hitting every place she could aim.
From behind, Ashley slashed her whip repeatedly, just as rapid as Yang's punches to Mard Geer's back.
"Annoying! You pest!"
Mard Geer spun around once with two fist, hitting both Ashley and Yang in the side of the head, almost knocking them out. He sent two thorns to finish them. Jaune swooped in with Pyrrha. Jaune deflected the vine with his shield, protecting Yang while Pyrrha did the same with Ashley. They both jumped towards the demon and slashed him, Pyrrha even managed to combo and shoot him twice in the chest.
David, Nathan, Sun and Neptune took this opportunity to jump in. Sun, with his two clones, shot, whacked and smacked the demon consecutively. Neptune spun his trident and landed a diagonal slash on the demon's back. Nathan smashed his shield on the demon's neck. This allowed everyone to retreat, allowing David to turn into a body of fire using fire dust and engulfing the demon is a large blast of fire, "FIRE BLAST!"
"Enough."
The demon swung his arm which was so powerful that it created a wind blade that instantly put out all the fire. From his expression, the demon was trying to stay calm yet it was clear he was very annoyed.
Vines emerged from everywhere, attacking everyone who was there.
Eight revolver bullets from Allisa, hit the Underworld King in the face. A vine appeared right around Allisa's leg and smashed her into a wall.
"That's not very nice." Said the sadistic huntress.
The demon threw a punch at Ashley who managed to cut down all the vines that attacked her. She blocked with his sword which took almost all her strength. Her sword turned into a whip which caused Mard Geer's fist to slip, allowing her to slash the demon several times. Yang appeared and delivered an upper cut straight up his chin. This annoyed the demon further. He evaded the two girls, Pyrrha's rifle bullet and Neptune's trident. He then combined and hit Ashley and Yang in the stomach, causing both of them to cough blood.
Seeing this, Jaune sprinted forward to save them with Pyrrha covering him. He ignored all the sharp thorns that drew his blood. He kept running, his bright aura shining brightly.
This caught the demon's attention as he remembered Chelsea. Jaune let out a war cry as he jumped at the demon. Mard Geer simply avoided by stepping to the side before kicking him hard in his hip.
Jaune gritted his teeth and ignored the pain that felt like he had just been hit by a cannon ball. He landed on his two feet and swung a sword at him.
The demon would simply parry and finish the man, however, he flinched when Yang raised her gauntlet and fired a shotgun shell at his face. Ashley also manage to stand back up and slash him from behind.
With that, Jaune's attack landed one last vertical cut down Mard Geer's front body.
Out of annoyance, Mard Geer reached out to Jaune's head, intending to crush his skull.
Blake suddenly appeared from behind Jaune and pulled him away. The demon changed targets and smashed Blake into pieces only to find out it was Blake's clone made of rock.
Yang fired shotgun shells behind her to get away, pulling Ashley, who had her whip wrapped around Yang's foot, along with her.
It was at that moment, Mard Geer noticed that all his thorns had stopped moving due to his focus on Jaune.
"WEISS! NOW!" Blake cried out, giving the signal as she secured Jaune.
From a distance, Weiss was seen gathering a huge amount of light blue dust into one condense ball of ice. Standing on that condense ball of ice dust was David, turning into a body made of ice.
Using one of her glyphs, Weiss fired the ice ball with David riding on it. As it flew towards the demon, David fused with the ice attack and it quadrupled in power.
Thinking nothing of it, the demon jumped to the side to simply evade it. However, the ice attack suddenly did a 90 degree turn as if David was able to drive the ice ball like a car.
Multiple walls of vines and thorns appeared in front of Mard Geer which were all ripped to shreds as the ice attack went through the vines and pieced through the demon's chest.
A small sharp pain jabbed the demon's chest.
"You little-"
"Now!" Jaune yelled.
Neptune aimed and fired his strongest laser beam.
Sun fired with his guns.
Coco used the last stream of bullets she had.
Yatsuhashi manage to stand back up and send a powerful ground pound.
Sage and Scarlet fired with their guns.
Nora launched as many grenade launchers as she could.
Ren emptied his automatic pistols.
Pyrrha fired with her rifle.
David threw another blast with all the remaining ice left in him.
Nathan gathered every shield on the field and threw them all at once.
Ashley gathered all her aura into her sword and fired a devastating dark purple air blade.
They all attacked at once and at the exact same time, they hit. The combined attacks hit every bit of the demon's body engulfing him in a large explosion. Nathan summoned another wall of shields to defend everyone.
The demon was sent flying across the field as the pain in his body grew a bit, "You...you humans are going to need a lot more than that to beat m-"
Sensing it with her aura, Yang sprinted forward despite her fatigue feeling like it was burning her from the inside.
"Yang! What are you doing!" Pyrrha called.
"He's not done! I can feel it! We have to finish him now!" Yang yelled back, "BLAKE!"
Yang jumped an incredible height. Blake instinctively followed and threw her ribbon which wrapped around Yang's hand. Blake then swiftly spun a few times before throwing Yang towards the demon.
There was a great distance between them and even with Blake's strong throw, Yang was losing height, however she was not worried as she trusted in her teammates. Weiss summoned a glyph to act as a platform for Yang. The yellow haired girl landed on it and used it to boost her towards the demon.
The Underworld King looked up and saw a fiery red eyed Yang right above him. She pulled back her fist and focused all her aura into her fist, leaving the rest of her body vulnerable. Thorny vines emerged from the ground and flew towards Yang, piercing her legs, back and shoulder.
Blood spilled out. It felt like her veins were about to burst. Yang gritted her teeth. Her fist shined a bright fiery aura. The demon saw fire in the woman's eyes.
"SMASH!"
BOOM!
Yang delivered a immensely powerful punch with 100 percent of her power and aura. It landed a critical hit as it sent to demon flying so far across the entire school of Beacon Academy. The punch was so powerful that it was heard everywhere from a great distance.
"G...good ridence."
Yang fell. Weiss and Blake were there to catch her.
"YANG!" The two girls cried as they caught her.
"I'm ok," Yang said as she let go of the girls and began limping, "all-allright, now we...have to...look for...for my sis-"
Yang fainted. Collapsed with no more energy. Her aura was weak but alive, slowly moving from her fist back to the rest of her body, healing her deep wounds very slowly. She was certainly going to be unconscious for a while.
"You think you've beaten me humans?"
At the crash sight, the demon was lying down where he landed.
"You humans have seen nothing..."
The demon's body began changing form.
"Etherious F-"
The demon stopped as he noticed something. As his body was transforming, it was also fading.
-o-o-
"If you are defeated here, you will be sent back to your world."
-o-o-
Mard Geer looked up at the sky at the mother ship, with an emotionless face, "Are you saying I lost, Jack? How narrow minded of you. Or perhaps...you don't want me interfering any further. Jack you spoilt immature brat. Even with that power, you're still a weak minded human."
The demon simply sighed as he faded into nothing.
They were silent. Saving up each breath and second of rest in case he came back.
But he didn't. Instead came Weiss and Blake carrying Yang with a relieved smile and thumbs up.
A sign of relief escaped from everyone. They had given everything they had and still almost lost. Many of them were either knocked out or too injured to move.
They're injured included Sage, Scarlet, Vevlet, Fox, Yatsuhashi, Allisa, Yang and Ashley had also collapsed out of exhaustion to take a nap. They fought someone who took out 8 out of 20 huntsmen, and they still didn't know a thing about the demon, who he was or what he was.
Jaune was about to rest when he suddenly remembered, "WAIT! How about C-"
Right on cue, an explosion was heard and someone crashed through the wall and landed right neat Jaune and David.
They both looked and gasped in shock, "CHELSEA!"
Laying unconscious on the ground was Chelsea who had injuries, deep wounds and cuts all over her body.
David and Jaune instantly went to her, "Chelsea! What happened?!"
As if answering their question, their auras felt another strong presence. They both looked up in horror.
Sitting on a broken wall was Sing-love, staring down on them.
They both took a defensive stance. The others who could still fight were about to assist but then suddenly they heard alien robots coming towards them.
Jaune nervously looked at Sing-love and the incoming enemies, "This is bad! This is bad! This is bad! We're all way too worn out, not to mention half of us are down. That white haired woman! She defeated Chelsea?! How are we suppose to beat...oh what do I do? What do I do?"
The alien queen shifted, causing the two huntsmen to flinch. She disappeared right in front of them. They prepared for her to appear again in front of them or behind...but she never did. She was simply gone.
"NATHAN! WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" David called.
David and Weiss used their last remaining ice crystals to make an ice wall but it wasn't going to hold out for long.
Jaune quickly forgot about Sing-love and paid more thought to the incoming enemies. Everyone had used up all their ammo and getting into melee fights with the robots would be dangerous under the state they were in.
"Everyone who can still stand, pick someone up and ru-"
The ice wall broke. They poured in. All the people who could stand pulled out their close range weapons, ready to defend their injured comrades.
But before they made contact with the horde, several rock cannons were fired and made a line of explosions that destroyed the front part of the horde. Jaune looked to see who it was. He was shocked to see Chelsea standing back up as Black, despite her injured state, "Chelsea are you sure you-"
"I know where the others are."
"Huh?"
"I saw them when I was fighting. Let's go, I'll lead the way."
"But they're probably scattered all over the school, how did you- wait, did you-"
Another huge explosion was heard. They all looked.
"What is it now?!" Jaune exclaimed.
But to his relief, it wasn't the enemy. It was an Atlesian Paladin and standing on top of it was another hunstman: Commander Steel.
"Yo Steel! Where have you been?!" David asked casually.
"My apologies for being late, it's quite chaotic outside."
The Atlesian Paladin aimed at the enemy alien robots and fired at them. A few Atlesian robots came in as well and began fighting.
Commander Steel jumped down. As he fell, his metal arm changed into a cannon and fired a missile at the enemies. He then went to check on Jaune and co, "Alright, you all need to get to safety."
"But we want to help defend!" Weiss complained.
"You've got too many injured. Prioritise them first. As students, you have done plenty. Now take this." Commander Steel used his semblance and swung his arm. Ammo, a lot it, appeared before all of them, "Reload and get out of-"
The ground shook. A giant alien enemy robot emerged from the horde and punched the Atlesian Paladin, causing the paladin to fall.
"GO! NOW!" Steel ordered, "I'll hold them off! You get to the evacuation!"
There was no time to argue, Jaune nodded and yelled out, "Alright quick everyone! Reload, pick someone up and follow Chelsea!"
Jaune looked at Chelsea, "Lead the way."
The criminal smiled back and nodded as she turned the other way, "LETS GO!"
