Spectre: In all honestly, I am a fan of reaction fics, and it inspired me to take a shot at this. So without further ado, let's begin.
Inspiration: Mortal Kombat 11 (Hey, it's one of my favourite franchises)
Chapter 1: Brutality at Finest
Team RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, STRQ, Ozpin and his order, Salem, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury was teleported to the Dark Void and with no way out. As did many members of their family and friends. Ruby had a tearful reunion with Summer, Yang arguing with Raven, etc. But Ozpin is currently looking with distate at the individual he was eyeing right now.
"Salem" Ozpin said to his arch-rival..
"Ozpin" Salem replied to her ex-lover.
"That's Salem?" Qrow said looking at the Grimm Queen.
"Yes it she is, Qrow" Ozpin said and was ready to attack the Grimm Queen but Cinder and her entourage stood in front of them.
"I won't do that if I were you" Cinder said, raising her weapon towards them.
"She's right Ozpin, I don't know why and I even here, But I hope it's really important" Salem said.
"Ozpin!, We can't listen to her!?" Glynda shouted at Ozpin but the man remained a calm exterior though he is also cautious at this one.
"Glynda, We will go along with her, Just this once, besides I think she also had the same mindscape as I" Ozpin said to her, clearly understanding their situation.
"I still don't even know why are we even here" Mercury wondered as he scratched his head.
"Shut up, Mercury" Emerald scolded to her silver-haired temmate.
"Or what?" Mercury snarkily asked.
"Silence! Both of you!" Cinder reprimanded as the two immediatley stan down.
"Now that everyone is here, we may begin" A new voice spoke, alarming the others.
"Who said that?" Weiss asked.
"Show yourself!" Yang said readying her weapons.
"Right behind you" A figure appeared behind the two. The man is of average height, had black hair with several bangs framing his face and had blue eyes. He wears what seemed to be a suit, but lacking the tie and he held what seemed to be a watch. All in all, he seemed handsome. (Imagine him being Zack Fair in the part one of Crisis Core wearing Reno's outfit)
"I'm not much of a namer but just call me Flit", the individual, now known as Flit said to them.
"Okay?, Mr. Flit, why are we here then?" Summer asked the individual.
"I was kinda bored at this time, being the watcher of several universes , So I brought all of you guys here to watch ourselves over there" Flit said pointing everyone.
"Us?" Jaune asked the man, identified as Flit.
"At this point, we are going to view versions of ourselves in a different universe, to which you could be the hero or the bad guy vice versa. Since this is the multiverse, results vary.", he explained to them.
"Sounds cool and all, but is there any food in here?", Mercury asked Flit, wanting to enjoy a snack while watching.
"Just imagine the food in your minds and it'll appear", Flit explained to them. Nora and Ruby wasted no time as they closed their eyes and concentrated, and suddenly, two plates of pancakes and cookies with Strawberry milkshakes appeared in front of them, with the two cheering in glee.
"Guess that works", Mercury noted, taking a bite of his nachos.
"So anyway, let us view the first universe", Flit said as the screen flashed before them.
It was a night at a valley, nothing much to be seen until a wider view shows a quarry below, guarded by black and white metallic beings who stood guard.
Ironwood and Winter were impressed at the creativity and manufacturing, and Penny begins to take notes. "I have to say, their designs are impressive", Ironwood noted.
Then the screen showsa blond man with signs of facial hair, wearing what seemed to be that of an armored blue ninja, with a jagged scar in his right eye and is currently using a telescope to observe the temple from a cliff.
"Is that Jaune!?" Ruby shouted at the screen shock to see her friend wearing an impressive ninja outfit over his hoodie and armor. Even Blake was marveled on his appearance and took notes for her own work.
"Damn... he's been hitting the gym lately" Yang complimented with lust as she observed the exposed parts of his outfit, particularly underneath the blue tunic.
"Ms. Xiao-Long, please behave yourself!" Glynda said to her student... but she also can't deny the fact that her student is vey handsome at this one.
Phyrra was struck silent at his appearance, he seemed to be a seasoned veteran with experience from the field, and adding to his looks caused blood to come out of her nose, seeing her crush to be a hot stud.
As Jaune observed the quarry below, another man appeared behind him. He was wearing a similar outfit like Jaune but in a yellow color-scheme. His hair was also tied to a ponytail and he slowly approached the blue-clad ninja with his katana unsheathed.
"Ren?!" Nora shouted in shock on how her best friend is looking so awesome while the others are also awed at his appearance.
Ren was looking at the screen in silence. While he could say that he is impressed at his portrayal, he can see signs that his alternate self seemed to have signs of vengeance that he chose to cast aside when he saw his facial expressions.
"I'll say, Ren you and Vomit Boy look good being ninjas and I think yellow looks good on you", Yang complimented at Ren, causing Nora growl at her, saying that Ren is hers alone.
"But why does it look like that Ren is trying to ambush Jaune?", Weiss asked as the others looked at each other worriedly.
As Ren walked closer, Jaune sensed his appearance from behind, and he quickly turned to see Ren with his katana raised.
"Your hearing is failing, Sub-Zero" Ren berated to his comrade as Jaune calmed down at his surprise appearance.
"I recognized your footsteps, Ren" Jaune replied to him where the yellow-clad ninja unsheathed his katana and focused back to the quarry.
"Why is Ren calling Jaune "Sub-Zero?" Ruby asked, clearly confused on why the other Ren is calling him that nickname.
"I'm guessing that's his nickname and I say it's a cool one" Weiss replied with jealousy that Jaune has a cool nickname.
"Aww! Is little Ice Princess sad that she didn't get a good nickname?" Yang teased to her teammate, only to be whacked with a scroll on n the head by the heiress.
"Shut it Xiao-Long!" Weiss retorted.
"Where's Sektor? I will not let him threaten my clan again" Ren asked to the blue-clad ninja.
"Ren has a clan here?", Nora asked to Flit as the man turned to explain.
"Ren was once a married man with a child, being one of the best members of the Shirai Ryu, being feared and respected as a result.", Flit replied as the others were impressed at the declaration. "But that is until the Lin Kuei Grandmaster and Sektor conspired with an evil sorcerer to murder his entire family and clan, while Sub-Zero murdered Ren during a mission."
The others were clearly shocked at what Flit said, they were awed by the fact that the ever-silent Ren was married and was a respected figure who was murdered but Nora was outraged at this. "So you're saying Jaune killed Ren?!"
"Not exactly", Flit replied. "But I'll explain the details soon after".
Ren raised an eyebrow, if his alternate self was murdered, then how is he alive here?
The Blue-clad ninja turned to explain, "The old Cyber Lin Kuei factory was defunct, Buried beneath this Quarry... Until the time disruption, Now Sektor's returned and reactivated it, He's building an army by processing warriors kidnapped from my temple" Jaune said to Ren with hatred in his eyes, largely directed to the said individual.
"He's kidnapped warriors from other Jaune's Temple? Why is that?" Nora asked.
"It will be explained shortly, Ms. Valkyrie", Flit replied as they returned their focus on the screen. While a certain Atlesian scientist rubbed his moustache in deep thought and intrigue.
"Interesting... turning other people into living weapons would prove to be a vital asset to our cause..." Watts one of Salem's followers remarked.
"I can see why you need me" Ren noted, agreeing on his comrade's intentions as they watch the possible entrances at the quarry.
"We can enter through that Tunnel, but a frontal assault would be.." Jaune pointed out with the plan.
"Bloody" Ren finished, seeing the number of Cyborgs guarding that portion.
"Needlessly dangerous, There's another entrance less populated-" Jaune explained as he hands his telescope to Ren where the yellow-clad ninja turned to see another entrance at another side.
"And the rest of your plan?" the yellow-clad ninja asked.
"We get help from the inside..." Jaune said as they went down from the cliff.
"Man! They should have gone to the front entrance and fight all of those robots!" Yang whined, wanting to see those two engage the Cyborgs in a fight.
"He doesn't want to charge in, besides we haven't seen the total number of them and it would likely be a bummer if they actually wiped out the entire force already", Weiss reasoned out.
Then the screen shows a lone Cyborg standing guard, that is when Jaune and Ren sneaked up behind it and ambushed it by brutally stabbing it multiple times from behind and proceded go into the tunnels behind them.
"Wow, brutality much?", Mercury remarked, impressed on how these two did their job at the screen.
The screen then shows what seems to be a factory and human body parts is laying in the ground in front of Jaune and Ren, who were clearly disgusted at the sight. Jaune then noticed a medallion on the ground... It was engraved with the Lin Kuei symbol, confirming his worst fears as a look of regret and sadness shifted on Jaune's emotions.
"We'll avenge your clan" Ren assured him and that is when alarms went on and both him and Jaune rushed over to find cover from a testing tube.
"I think I'm going to be sick" Weiss snarked, covering her mouth and trying her best not to vomit the morbid sight.
Soon enough, at the othet side of the room shows two figures, one is clearly a full Cyborg, but in a yellow-color scheme unlike the rest, while the other one look human enough but has a hood that covers her head and a mask, and at her hands hold what seems to be a testing tube.
A machine activates where it carries an unconcious man, before he was brutally bisected and his brain and spine extracted to be inserted into the empty armors.
That is when Weiss begins to vomit at the sight, with some others doing the same. With a flick of his hand, Flit managed to summon a few vomitting bins for them to unload.
"That is just sick" Velvet said in horror.
"I'm not sure that Ruby is ready for this" Summer said as she looks at her daughter with concern.
"She has to one day, it's time that she has to know what the world is really like" Qrow said to her, to which Taiyanf just sighed in response.
"Cyrax is your inside man?" Ren asked his comrade as the blue-clad ninja nodded.
"He was converted against his will, If we disable the behavior inhibitors that control him..." Jaune said as they looked at the yellow cyborg.
"He will turn on Sektor" Ren finished, knowing their plan as a whole.
"All Cyber Lin Kuei are linked to a common network, Cyrax can shut them down from within" Jaune explains to him the plan as Ren nodded.
"Who is the woman?" Ren asked him, not recognizing the individual.
"I don't know, focus on Cyrax he's the key" Jaune said as Ren nodded, slowly making their move silently but efficiently.
"I somehow doubt that he would want to help somehow." Weiss said to him.
"We require additional candidates for cyberization" Cyrax inquired to the woman whose voice laced by confidence and arrogance.
"Wait...he sounds like Russel Thrush!", Ruby called out as the other students nodded at confirmation.
"Who?", Winter asked.
"He is one of Cardin's friends, a fellow bully at the sorts", Glynda noted before turning to Flit. "Can you explain their nature here?"
Flit explained, "Russel, known by the codename Cyrax in this universe, is a loyal member of the Lin Kuei and partner to Sektor, who was the Lin Kuei Grandmaster's son. While the heir and the others were in favour of the Grandmaster's program in turning their assassins into Cyborgs, Cyrax and a few others were adamant in keeping their bodies and freewill but he was captured and was forcefully turned into a Cyborg"
Many members of the audience were clearly shocked. Being forced to be a slave while being robbed of your own mind and body was a horrid circumstance and being turned into a machine is worse. Ironwood gritted his teeth in anger, hating the idea in turning their own soldiers into literal weapons, as did Ozpin and Glynda. He could only imagine someone like Watts would be capable of such despicable methods.
"Once delivered, How long before the next generation is ready?" The woman said before she was blasted by an ice beam by Jaune, who slidded towards them.
"Awesome!" Ruby and Nora shouted on the semblance that other Jaune wielded.
"That's impossible!" Weiss said in disbelief at the screen as she thought that her family is the only one capable on using ice.
"Alternate universe means alternate possibilities, Ms. Schnee", Flit said to her.
Cyrax was clearly alarmed as he looked at Jaune and tries to run up to him, but was stopped and has both of his arms up by Ren, who teleported in a burst of flames.
"Ren has a fire Semblance?!" Nora asked in shock and awe, wanting to know how did her best friend has that power.
Cinder raise in eyebrow, clearly impressed on the green member of the JNPR has a Fire Semblance. She would be having the Fall Maiden's power soon... But won't mind if adding his Semblance to her own too.
The woman inside of the ice broke free and turns to Jaune and Ren. Her body was almost entirely mechanical, save for her head. Her white hair sports a pixie cut and the lower half of her face is covered by a silver and blue mask. Her eyes betrayed no emotion as she looked at Jaune with hatred.
"Weiss! It's you on the big-screen!", Ruby called out, though disappointed that her best friend is clearly a villain on this one.
"Talk about a bad hair day, Ice Queen!", Yang teased as Weiss was clearly irked at her appearance. She would never ask for a haircut like that and she could only glare at her sister, who was holding her laughter on her sister's haircut.
"Frost!" Jaune called out to her as Frost use her cryomancy on the ground, forcing Ren to let go of Cyrax in order to avoid the ice.
"And look, you also got a nickname!", Yang called out.
"It seems your semblance became more advanced at this one, Ms. Schnee", Ozpin complimented.
"I gave you a home, I was your mentor! Yet after all this, you ally yourself to Sektor? He corrupted the Lin Kuei!" Jaune berated to his former student.
"What does he mean?", Blake asked Flit.
"Weiss, or Frost in this universe, was an orphan. Like Jaune here, she is a Cryomancer where he took her under his wing. But overtime, her arrogance and her jealousy to her master caused her to take a different path in life", Flit explained as the rest of Team RWBY were in shock. They know that Weiss took pride as an heiress but she wouldn't go that far in betraying the only man who took care of her and turning her felllow classmates into Cyborgs. She is more than that.
Weiss felt a hand placed on her shoulder, with Winter giving her a warm smile. "You are not her, Weiss. You can do better", she called out. The younger Schnee could only smile in response for her sister's encouragement.
"No! You corrupted our clan when you made peace with this Shirai Ryu filth!", Frost spat as she glared at Ren. "With Salem's help, I will restore the Lin Kuei's Honor!"
"Keep Cyrax alive, We need him" Jaune ordered to Ren and the yellow-clad ninja engaged the cyborg in combat while Jaune is walking in front of Frost, ready to end her venture here and now. "There's no future in which you are fit to lead the Lin Kuei!" Jaune berated to her as she went to a fighting stance.
"You always doubted me Sub-Zero, Held me back Salem sees my true potential!" Frost spat then goes into her stance and Jaune does the same.
"Finally! Were about to see a fight scene!" Yang cheered as she was getting bored on watch talking and talking all day. Ruby and Blake were estatic to see on how two ninja would fight, with ice powers.
"Shut it Xiao-Long, Were trying to watch!" Weiss retorted.
"Girls! Calm yourselves!" Glynda scolded to them, making both of them just sigh and went back on the screen.
Jaune jumped where he threw an ice axe towards his former pupil, where Frost managed to slice it using a Kori blade. Jaune slidded towards her where she managed to jump away from her direction before she blasted Jaune with a beam of ice to which the Cryomancer countered with his own. Jumping towards Jaune, Frost landed a knee on her former mentor before she formed two blades on her wrist and spun around with her mechanical body to which Jaune managed to back away and landed an ice beam towards her, freezing her.
Sliding towards her, Jaune slidded towards her where he caught her off-balance and held her leg, where he threw her at an ice wall before delivering a powerful punch, breaking the wall as a result.
"Nice moves, Vomit Boy!", Yang cheered on. As much as she wanted Weiss to win, her role as a villain placed a position that she needed to lose.
Getting up and growling at him, Frost slidded towards Jaune and grabbed him, where she stabbed him with a makeshift drill before punching him in the face repeatedly then throwing him off the ledge. She then charged towards him where she formed an ice scythe and landed a few blows on Jaune before freezing him then kicking him away.
"Well, Karma's a bitch", Mercury said with humour.
Frost then teleported in a flurry of ice towards her former mentor where Jaune ancitipated this and created an ice clone where Frost froze in contact. Jaune then formed two large ice axes where he stabbed Frost with them on the waist before push-kicking her aside. Jaune then formed another ice axe where he stabbed in on her mechanical body before heaving her away, with blood appearing as a result. And it had knocked her unconcious right after.
"You deceive yourself, Frost" he said, looking down in regret on how far his student had fallen. He then went to help Ren against Cyrax.
"This universe is really brutal", Glynda noted, clearly disgusted on the scene.
"This universe is famous for its brutality and carnage, there is much more to be seen and it's way worse than that", Flit said to the audience.
Weiss could only sigh in relief as her alternate self was defeated, not wanting to even look at het after doing such extreme methods.
Ren and Cyrax were fighting as Cyrax tried to use his buzzsaw on Ren but was kicked away by the yellow-clad ninja, causing him to go over to the rest of the Cyber Lin Kuei's cyborgs and activated them.
"The upgrade, Cyrax is this Salem's doing?" Jaune said to his comrade as the yellow cyborgs and compatriots walked towards him
"To better serve her Sub-Zero, We defend Salem as she re-writes history" Cyrax said emotionlessly as they neared the duo.
"So your nothing but pawns?" Ren snarled at the cyborg.
"Wait... History? What is he talking about?", Ruby asked, confused on Cyrax last question.
"In this universe, Salem is the Time Keeper or the Goddess of Time, where she manipulates the flow of time and the past, present and future as she see fit. After seeing her son being defeated by the Thunder God, she sought to restore balance in the timelines by creating a New Era under her own supervision, with the Cyborgs serving as one of her footsoldiers. Among her closest allies and followers are the Emperor and Empress of the Netherrealm, AKA Hell or the Underworld", Flit explained as the audience was struck silent at this goddess of time.
Ozpin was astonished. He could not imagine just how powerful Salem truly is here. She is already strong at their world, to the point where he couldn't even match her on his own and the thought of her possessing that kind of power and the nature of her allies are a sheer horror to be said.
Salem proudly smirked at her alternate self. With that kind of power, she can simply erase anyone in existence and can re-write the world as she saw fit, now of only she were in that position. Cinder and the rest of Salem's followers present were awed at her alternate self, wanting to know how they functioned here.
"We act to serve the Lin Kuei's glory in the New Era" Cyrax said and the Cyber Lin Kuei surrounded Jaune and Ren as the two went to a fighting stance.
"I'll deal with Cyrax" Ren said leaving Jaune handle the Cyber Lin Kuei with his Ice Semblance.
"Finally! We're about to see Ren to fight!", Nora cheered, and was now happy that Ren is going to have some screentime in fighting. Cinder and the others were curious on how the other Lie Ren is going to fight with his Fire Semblance
"You will be forced to serve" Cyrax said to him as he approached the yellow-clad ninja.
"I've been down to that road Cyrax, Never again" Ren replied as he pulled out a kunai on his right hand and went to a fighting stance.
Ren teleports towards Cyrax where he delivered a hellfire-infused front-flip kick on the head before teleporting back to launch his kunai as a harpoon, shouting, "GET OVER HERE!", in a demonic voice as the kunai struck Cyrax's chest before he was elbowed right at the face. Using this opportunity, Ren landed a few front kicks before using his katana to slash Cyrax a few times at the chest before back-flip kicking him away.
"Just how powerful is Ren here?", Ruby asked Flit, clearly awed at his skill in using his semblance and his own martial arts skill.
"Roughly at an equal to Jaune at this universe. When he was murdered, he was ressurected as a vengeance-obsessed Hellfire Spectre by an evil sorcerer, who became his slave to serve him while promising him revenge to those who murdered his clan.", Flit explained to them, as Ironwood and Ozpin were disgusted at the thought of using the dead as their tools while Salem thinks about finding the secrets of necromancy for her schemes. "But luckily enough, his humanity was later restored by the Thunder God and he rebuilt his clan, while accepting the fact that he won't get his family back no matter what, and it was for the better at the long run".
Everyone was saddenned at the fact that Ren once had a family. Accepting losses is not entirely an easy feat and they can tell that Ren here went through hell and over at this one.
Nora held Ren's hand and assured him, "I'll be with you, always". He could only smile at her encouraging words as they continued to fight on the screen.
Cyrax then teleported behind Ren where he hit him using a grenade before it exploded, causing Ren to go into mid-air before the Cyborg caught him and threw him headfirst onto the ground. Ren groaned in pain before he narrowly avoided a slash from a buzzsaw as he rolled away. Standing up once more, Cyrax launched his plasma-net and a grenade but Ren extended his harpoon and twirled it to destroy the incoming projectiles.
"Awesome!", Ruby cheered out with stars at her eyes, wanting to know how Ren used a simple harpoon as a makeshift shield.
Cinder was impressed. She has pyromantic powers, and she would want to figure out how to use it the way he did
As the grenade exploded, Ren was surprised when Cyrax teleported behind him where he exploded a grenade point blank, sending Ren into the air once more. Cyrax delivered a brutal front-kick on Ren's spine before piledriving him onto the ground.
"I gotta try those moves sometime!", Yang called out at Cyrax's move, seeing how awesome and brutal it is.
"Ren!", Nora called out. "Hang on!"
"It's not over yet", Jaune said, having confidence that his teammate will find a way to turn things to his favour.
Getting up, Ren teleported in a burst of flames where he landed a few jabs on Cyrax's torso where he kicked him away before using his harpoon again to catch him and pull him away again once more. That is when Ren delivered a brutal punch on Cyrax's gut where he delivered a powerful punch on his face, knocking him over as Ren went over him and delivered a harsh stomp at his chest, rendering him unconcious.
"No one should be a slave" Ren said, looking down at the cyborg before turning to rejoin Jaune, who took down the other machines.
"That was awesome!" Nora cheered out that Ren managed to best his opponent in combat.
"It really is", Blake seconded, awed at the sight of Ren using his harpoons masterfully. As did Ruby.
"Amazing" Cinder silently remarked as a small smile grew on her face
"Interesting" Ozpin was also pleased that Mr. Ren used his semblance to its full potential.
Jaune went over to Cyrax where he used his cryomancy on Cyrax's back and open his panel where his inhibitors were located
"Hurry, before we face more Cyber Lin Kuei" Ren said to his comrade.
"He'll need a moment to initialize" Jaune replied as he worked around on Cyrax's body
Then out of nowhere, invisible punches landed Ren, who grunted in pain as he and Jaune stood guard on their new adversary.
"What in the world?!" Nora called out at the screen.
"Sektor? Show yourself!" Jaune called out but instead what he got was much worst as he shadow-clad ninja teleported in front of them.
"Recognize me, little brother?" the figure asked to Jaune, who looked at him with disbelief.
"Little brother?" Most of the people in the room wondered if Jaune any.
"I don't remember having a brother" Jaune said that because the figure in the screen is a man rather than a woman.
"As do I" Jonathan Arc finally decides to speak, remembering his siblings to be his sisters instead.
Elena Arc agreeds with her family, It would been nice to have another son in the family... But this so called "Son" in the screen is pure evil.
Salem was beginning to take in interest on the dark individual, clearly turned on on the amount of darkness that he wields. 'My ideal assassin', she thought to herself.
"In this universe, Saphron is a man and her name being Johann. She or he, in this universe, is the Sub-Zero before Jaune", Flit explained to them.
"He was the one who murdered Ren?", Nora asked, remembering Ren's misfortunes earlier.
"Yes, but Ren returned the favour soon after as a spectre and that is when the Necromancer ressurected him as an evil Dark Ninja as his slave as well", Flit finished to them as the Arc family members present were shocked at this.
"Johann?!" Jaune called out in astonishment and disbelief.
"Yes, It is I" the black-clad ninja replied as he revealed himself.
"You were killed, swallowed in a storm of souls" Ren called out.
"Watts's creations do not die easily, Salem offers me a new clan to lead. It's shadow will darken the realms" the Dark Wraith then summon his own Shadow over to his right where they both took a fighting stance.
"Leave Johann to me" Jaune said then goes over to the dark ninja.
"You always mimicked me, But you make a poor Grandmaster" Johann mocked the younger sibling of the two as they stood tense.
"I uphold the Lin Kuei principles I thought you shared" Jaune shot back as he went to his fighting stance once more.
"Brother against brother" Ozpin remembers that the two brothers sometimes face themselves to prove who's stronger
"This is so mess up" Yang don't want to even look like this universe's Saphron right now just to fight Ruby.
Jaune launched a fist against Johanne where the Dark Wraith parried defensively with his wrist before countering with an upward kick as Jaune jumped away, but failed to notice a shadow revealing Saibot, below him where it kicked him mid air in the ribs that knocked him off balance. The blue-clad ninja skid away before he sensed Johann attempting to grab him from behind which he quickly formed an ice dagger to stab his lower torso and kicked him away.
Johanne then teleported in a dark portal where he gave Jaune an uppercut before his shadow grabbed him and tossed him in the ground in a hardened fashion. Reacting quickly, Jaune backflipped as Johann attempted to stomp him as he landed towards him. Teleporting behind the Dark Wraith, Jaune delivered a roundhouse kick before launching an ice ball towards him.
Johann froze upon contact before Jaune delivering three quick jabs on the wraith's head then kicking him away. Johann groaned in pain as he sunk to the ground where the blue-clad ninja failed to sense him from behind where Johann slashed him with a sickle on his left waist before using his shadow to pin him down and punch him three times in the face before dispelling.
Before Jaune could react as he stood, Saibot managed to grab him from behind where Johann delivered a hard punch on Jaune's face, breaking his mask as a result, before a knee hit him in the back as it nearly broke his spine. Johann then kicked Jaune in the stomach where he violently vomitted as a result before the Dark Wraith let him go.
"Now you guys know I call him Vomit Boy!", Yang teased as a few chuckled while Jaune groaned in despair.
Feigning defeat, Jaune lowered his guard as Johann appeared to deliver the finishing move but not before Jaune delivered an ice-augmented uppercut that caught him off guard. As he did, Jaune caught Johann where he grabbed him before stabbing him with an ice dagger multiple times before lodging the dagger on his chest.
Using this opportunity, Jaune encased himself with ice as he charged at Johann, crushing an ice ball in his stomach before delivering a skull-bashing headbutt, knocking the Dark Wraith unconcious.
"We share blood, We are not brothers" Jaune said, looking down at him as he and Ren went over to the downed Cyrax.
"That was brutal...", Jaune called out, not wanting to imagine himself pulling those moves on Saphron.
"Looks like you were ahead of him after all!", Yang teased as the others groaned at her pun.
Cyrax is once again activated and noticed a hand reach out for him, it was from Jaune and he took it, then once he got up he notice the changes from his body and clearly horrified from it.
"No, He ripped out my heart, made me a machine" Cyrax recounted on his capture by Sektor, who and made him a machine.
Ironwood wrote down on not forcing anyone to go on a program like this. The others grimaced on the misfortune Russel had in this universe, even if he is a bully.
"Looks like Russel somehow regained his humanity" Ruby said, seeing that at least a fragment of Russel's humanity remained on his mechanical body.
"Your soul is intact Cyrax, Trust me I speak from experience" Jaune assured him.
"Did Jaune...also became a Cyborg?", Phyrra asked, startled to what he had said.
"Yes. Sektor and Cyrax managed to abduct him before he could kill Ren out of revenge for his brother and he also underwent the same process but he was killed and his human form was restored by the necromancer but his own humanity was restored by the Thunder God.", Flit explained.
Phyrra could only grip Jaune's hand, now wanting to protect him at all times.
"Jaune, Is that you? You look so old... and Scorpion?" Cyrax asked was shocked to see Ren and Jaune.
"So Scorpion is his nickname, sounds awesome", Blake remarked as the others nodded.
"We'll explain later, For now, know that we share a same goal the Cyber Lin Kuei's destruction" Ren explained to the cyborg.
"We need your help, Cyrax" Jaune asked him where Cyrax thought for a moment before answering.
"I can disable their communications network, It'll shut down this factory and every Lin Kuei connected to it" Cyrax explained, wanting to aid those two in destroying the very thing he was. Then rockets homed over them but Cyrax stood guard as he destroys them with his Advanced Net.
"What the-", Yang called out.
"Frost warned me that you two becomes allies, I did not think you're capable of such dishonor, Sub-Zero" Sektor said as he revealed himself to the trio.
"Wait, that voice...Cardin?", Blake wondered as Flit nodded. "Cardin here is the son of the Lin Kuei Grandmaster and was the most enthusiastic in partaking at the Cyber Initiative and is in charge of the whole operation", he explained to them.
The others wondered if Cardin was capable on doing such a thing to his associates. Him being a bully is bad enough but a psychopath, even worse.
Ironwood again took notes, Sektor is a upgrade version of the Cyber system, If he can get his hands on the schematics...
"I'll stop Sektor, Help Cyrax" Ren said to Jaune as he and Cyrax turned to find a way ti disable the entire factory.
Sektor then turned to use his flamethrower on Ren's chest, but Ren simply took the blow like he was immune of the flames.
Cinder wonders that if she can do the same with when she get's the full Fall Maidens power.
"Amazing...", Ruby lamented as the others nodded
"Gotta say, kid's a badass at this one", Roman complimented.
"You started this Fire" Ren mocked the red Cyborg as the latter turned off his flamethrower, seeing it to be useless.
"Selling out your clan so Watts would slaughter mine" Ren accused to Sektor as the two stood tense at one another.
"He should have killed you as he promise, Now I finish what he could not" Sektor declared as he went to a fighting stance.
Sektor lunged at Ren with a teleport uppercut, but the former Spectre dodged and countered with a hellfire kick on the Cyborg's torso. Disappearing in a burst of hellfire, Hasashi landed two quick jabs. Once in the back and second in the chest. Sektor countered with a palm strike as it forced Ren to skid away as he teleported behind him to deliver three swift kicks before sweeping him. Before the cyborg could stomp Ren, he teleported out of the way before the cyborg stomp him, creating a crater as he did.
Sektor shot a missile at Ren who used his katana to slice the projecticle and exploded behind him. Ren soon regained his footing and lunged a harpoon as he shouted "GET OVER HERE!" , where the kunai stabbed Sektor in the chest as he aggresively pulled before kneeing him on the head. Sektor regained his footing as he teleport uppercut Ren before jumped into the air and violently threw his enemy on the ground below them.
Sektor, who was now getting frustrated and wanting to kill the Shirai Ryu dog, shot a powerful rocket at Ren, who twirled his chains against hit. The projectile hit the twirling vortex as it exploded. Using this to his advantage amidst the smoke, Sektor again launched another missile at Ren, who did not expect the attack, to which he was knocked mid-air before Sektor performed a brutal teleport uppercut, his fist brutally connecting with Ren's chin, before he followed up with a brutal palm strike to his back.
Ren regained his footing, but knew that this fight truly wasn't over. He had to win against his old enemy and he allowed his rage to increase as a means to eliminate the red-clad cyborg that was also responsible for his suffering. Ren knew that the Lin Kuei he was facing wouldn't go down without a fight, so he would put all of his willpower into this fight.
Getting up off the ground, Ren teleported against Sektor where he delivered a a jab from behind and three on the torso. Teleporting in front of him, Ren pulled out two of his Katanas to deliver two brutal slashes on Sektor's torso before using his kunai to stab both of Sektor's eyes before kicking him away with the kunai still lodged. Pulling him back, Ren kicked the kunai lodged on Sektor's head to further stab the sharp object before setting him down on the ground. And the Red Cyborg was knocked out unconcious.
"For Nora and Satoshi" Ren prayed and hope that his wife and chid listens to him from the afterlife as he went to Cyrax and Jaune.
Nora blushed that her other and Ren were marriedbut was saddened that she died with her child.
Ren was saddened at this, making him want to protect Nora even more.
Cyrax manage to get into the Cyber mainframe where he opened the panel "I'm in, I'll reformat the system drives and shut us all down, Goodbye Jaune" Cyrax said to him.
"It is not the end, I will find a way to restore you, Anything is possible Ren and I are living proof" Jaune said to his comrade.
"Please, don't bring me back as a machine I can't live like this" Cyrax asked.
"He will be a perfect test subject" When this is all over, Watts is going to find parts and make Cyber warriors for Lady Salem.
""Machine or Man, You have a warrior's soul, As long I am Grandmaster the Lin Kuei will welcome you" Jaune declared to him.
"Then until we meet again" Both Jaune and Cyrax shook their hands with one another. Cyrax opened a wall panel, inside were cables to the Cyber System and he pulls the plug out causing him and other Cyber Lin Kuei's to shut down and Jaune and Ren escape with Cyrax's body while the villains also escaped the area. The screen fades to black soon after.
"So how was it?", Flit asked.
"Brutal but awesome!", Yang cheered as the others also wanted to see more of this some time. "Can we see more of this?"
"In time. Take a break, next one will be a military-esque one", Flit replied as they went to stretch their legs.
'Military-esque, interesting', Ironwood and Winter wondered.
AN:That's a wrap, but can you guess what would be the next? Updates will come in a slow pace at this time.
I actually blended MK9 playstyles to that of MK11 to make X-Ray's or Fatal Blows non-fatal.
