Forced Conflicts
Comrades: Some treat them like precious friends while others may see them as nothing more than an extra hand. But no matter what, bonds are always created when you put a group of people together to work towards the same goal. These bonds can range from being temporary to extremely powerful. So powerful that their connection with that person can never be damaged or broken...even if that one person is trying to kill them.
For a whole hour... the gigantic mothership stayed there, hovering above Beacon.
For a whole hour...the enemy did nothing.
For a whole hour...it was silent.
...
Flying from above, the Atlesian Airships aimed their weapons at the enemy Mothership.
The airships were huge but compared to the Mothership, they looked like flies.
A loudspeaker on one of the airships turned on and the sound of a man's voice was heard throughout the entire academy:
"This is your last warning! You are illegally trespassing above Beacon grounds. Surrender or we will open fire!"
Their warning was met with silence.
Everyone waited even though it was clear as daylight that it wasn't going to be that easy.
...
No response.
Ironwood entered the main bridge room of one of the Airships.
After saluting him, a soldier asked, "What are your orders sir?"
Ironwood looked up at the enemy mothership. When entering, he had noticed that everyone in the room were more tensed than usual. He didn't blame them though. Just the sight of the enemy alone was enough to intimidate even the bravest soldiers.
"...Open fire." Ironwood finally ordered.
Missles and lasers rained down on the mothership.
They were merciless.
They had no idea what this enemy was capable of so they gave them everything they had.
Small air jets flew across the mothership, dropping bombs on its surface.
Each airship was equipped with hundreds of cannons, guns and missiles launcher. Each firing at a rapid rate.
After a few minutes, they ceased fire when their view of the enemy was completly covered in smoke.
Everyone waited anxiously for the smoke to clear.
Gasps of fear were heard throughout the airships as it was revealed that they had failed to deal even one point of damage to the mothership.
All eyes turned to look at Ironwood.
Breaking News!
Wearing a suit and tie, a man looked at the camera and reported.
"It's been an hour since the sudden appearance of the mysterious spaceship and despite the lack of action, panic spreads across all of Vale."
The TV then proceeds to show footage of the students of Beacon evacuating who are currently all in a state of panic. Goodwitch and Oobleck were seen, trying to calm down the students. It was every student for themselves as people wanted to get out no matter how much people they had to push over. There were at least 10-30 students trying to fit through doors that usually could hold the width of only 5.
"Students are currently evacuating the school in a state of panic. The Atlesian Fleet are doing everything they can, however, they have made no progress in trying to communicate or deal with with the unknown ship. It has yet to be confirmed whether this is a terrorist attack as nothing has happened just yet.
"Sir, the security system in one of the hallways of Beacon has been breached, " A soldier reported, "we suspect the enemy must finally be making a move."
Ironwood considered his options.
He remembered what Ozpin sad to him:
'Do try not to get in their way.'
"...Deploy the Atlesian Squadrons."
The soldier nodded before pressing a big blue button on his digital computer.
...
In an unknown location somewhere within the airships.
Light blue lights illuminated the room as Atlesian paladins and knights sprang into life.
Ruby dashed through the hallways using her semblance.
As if the mothership never existed, Ruby only focused on getting to the dorms.
She remembered that night when Mato and co got back.
Mato? Are you okay?
She was never going to forget the dead yet traumatized look in her eyes. She had never seen someone who had been through that much pain so she backed away from trying to comfort them...Ruby wanted to punch herself for that. Giant mothership or not, she should've been there for her. It didn't matter how many secrets she may be hiding but there were still friends...right?
Ruby stopped running and came to a smooth stop.
She had come across a T-junction in the hallway meaning she could go left or right but that wasn't what stopped.
Walking down the hallway, was an army full of hooded men. They didn't look friendly at the slightest.
One of them spotted Ruby and pointed at her causing her to freeze. The horde of men looked at Ruby and they all suddenly smiled sadistically.
Fear took over for a second in Ruby's heart. She was at a safe distance and she could easily run. But then she remembered that the way to Mato's dorm was in that direction.
Ruby saw them conversed with each other for a moment before unexpectedly...They all sprinted towards her.
Ruby prepared herself, she decided that she definitely wasn't going to leave Mato if people like them were here roaming Beacon.
Then, to Ruby's shock and horror, deadly weapons like axes, scythes and curved swords materialised out of nowhere in the hands of each hooded man. Ruby couldn't help but think that it was somehow similar to when Yuuki, Kirito and Asuna would materialise their weapons.
This created a problem: the hooded men were now armed and Ruby wasn't.
The hooded men stopped running. Ruby looked and flew her arms in front of her.
Crashing through the windows, a squadron of Atlestian Knights got in between the hooded men and Ruby.
One of the Knights looked at Ruby and said in a robotic tone, "Scanning...Identified Student: Ruby Rose." The robot gestured it's hand towards the opposite direction that Ruby wanted to go to, "please stand back and make your way to the evacuation area."
"No!" Ruby retaliated, she didn't why she bothered trying to reason with a robot, "I need to find-"
The robot's head was impaled by an arrow before Ruby could finish that sentence.
As the robot fell to the ground, Ruby looked at one of the hooded men who was holding a bow.
"So the evacuation area is that way huh?"
All the Atlesian Knights aimed their guns, "Halt! You are illegally trespassing on-"
They didn't listen. They raised their weapons and sprinted towards the robots.
The robots opened fire but were quickly losing in terms of battle skill. The hooded men were all swift and very skilled in terms of fighting which shock Ruby.
Shaking her head, Ruby decided to use this as a chance to get past while the Atlestians Knights distracted them.
Using her semblance, Ruby zoomed forward, running side to side to evade the enemy.
However, she didn't manage to get that far as she was easily spotted.
Four men swung their weapons while six others fired arrows forcing Ruby to jump back.
She was surrounded.
Ruby looked in shock as they had already wiped half of the Atlestian knights.
A smiling sadistic hooded figure holding a club made the first move and charged forward.
Relying purely on her semblance, Ruby jumped over the man to dodge. As she dodged, she noticed a strange tattoo of a coffin on the man's hand.
Three more aimed at Ruby.
Ruby moved to the side to dodge the first move and then made it so that the second man would accidentally hit the third.
Seven more circled Ruby and they all jumped at her.
Ruby just barely evaded four of them and stepped on the heads of two of them.
The last one aimed and suddenly his sword began glowing.
Ruby's eyes widened in shock. Once again, she couldn't help but notice how it was very similar to when Kirito's, Asuna's and Yuuki's weapons would glow every time before using a powerful attack.
Unfortunately, Ruby's shock threw her balance off as she slipped with the man's weapon just barely slipping his red cape.
She quickly tried to get back up but was punched hard straight in the stomach.
To add on to that, an arrow hit Ruby in the shoulder. Thanks to her semblance it wasn't fatal but it still hurt.
Ruby's head hit the floor. Before she could struggle, a heavy foot stomped on her back preventing her moving up.
She looked up. She saw a man smiling sadistically at her while threatening her with a bloody dagger. The man decided to scare Ruby by licking the blood off and it worked.
No matter how many times she's been in a near death experience, she was never going to get used to it. She had also never seen anyone who was so hungry for murder.
The man would later on regret trying to taunt Ruby as he was shot in the head by a laser. It seemed most of them had forgotten that the Atlestian Knights were still there.
The hooded men faced the last remaining robots but before making a move, a lockers came crashing through the ceiling and landed on one of the hooded men.
That alone left everyone flabbergasted except for Ruby.
The locker opened, revealing a sword and shield.
A man inspected the locker.
One of the Atlestian robots turned and looked, "Scanning...Identified Student: Jaune Arch."
Ruby gasped in relief.
Jaune appeared from behind and punched the guy hard in the face. He then grabbed his weapons and held his shield above his head.
"Scanning...Identified Student: Nora-"
The robot was shot in the head by an arrow before it finished.
Nora appeared from behind, jumped on Jaune's shield and with Jaune's support, launched herself high into the air.
Everyone looked up as Nora spun his hammer and smashed it on the ground, right in the middle of a group of hooded men.
"Next time, why don't you wait for us okay?"
Ruby looked up and smiled with more relief, "Weiss."
Weiss handed Ruby her Crescent Rose before, "You're the team leader you got that? You should take more responsibility."
More Atlestian Knights appeared.
Yang punched her gauntlets together.
Black slashed her ribbon into a handgun.
Ren pulled out both his automatic pistols.
Pyrrha aimed her rifle.
"Ruby! Go ahead!" Blake suggested.
"Are you sure? How about-"
"Don't worry sis!" Yang cracked his knuckles to intimidate the enemy, "Let us take care of these guys!"
"Out of all of us, you're the closest to Mato and her friends," Blake pointed out, "just go! Before the situation gets even more worst."
Ruby looked at Weiss for confirmation. When she nodded, Ruby hesitating for just a second...before nodding back.
"Cover me!"
Pyrrha and Ren aimed their guns and opened fire.
Weiss used her semblance to summon a glyph, giving Ruby a big boast.
Ruby literally flew across the hallway, over the army of hooded men while also shooting some of them out with her scythe.
Within seconds, she had reached the other side of the army of hooded men.
Wasting no time as soon as she landed, Ruby dashed forward but before exiting the hallway, she ran past one last guy who also had the tattoo on his bandaged hand.
They made eye contact for a second.
Ruby could tell that this one was different from the others. He wore a cloak like the others but he also wore a mask with red glowing eyes.
Their eye contact only lasted for a second as Ruby exited the field while praying that her friends will be okay.
One of the hooded men was about to chase after her but the man wearing the mask stopped him.
"It's not worth it, just focus on getting to the evacuating area."
The man turned around and looked at Team RWBY and JNPR who were still fighting his men.
Yang grinned as he saw him from a distance, "Hey guys! I think I found their leader."
Cocking his gun which somehow made an echoing noise, the ragged cloaked man slowly walked towards them as he breathed out actual steam from his mask.
Death Gun: Known as Red-Eyed XaXa in SAO, Death Gun is a member of the infamous guild "Laughing Coffin".
...
She didn't even stop for a second.
Ruby ran and ran.
All she could think about was her.
Combined with this mysterious invasion on Beacon, Ruby's worry had been times by at least a hundred.
Interrupting her thoughts, Ruby came to a smooth stop.
Panting for breath, Ruby didn't even think twice before placing her hand on the door handle of Mato's dorm.
...
"Everyone. Do you copy? Come in, this is Kotori. Has there been any movement."
"This is Yuri. Nothing has happened at my side so far. How about you Kirito?"
"No. But I just got news that there are enemies already inside."
"What?! How did they get inside?"
"Worry about that later. Right now, we need to send backup. It seems Ruby's and Jaune's team have already engaged in battle."
"Whose closest to that area?" Kirito asked.
"Our team is," Kotori volunteered, "I'll leave Neptune and Plutia here while I..."
"Kotori?"
Kotori suddenly went silent which worried both Yuri and Kirito.
"KOTORI! Kotori! Are you there?! Yuri what happened?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe they...JULIE!"
"Yuri? Yuri? What happened?"
"I'm not sure," Yuri replied, "Julie just fainted."
Yuri and Kirito could suddenly hear Neptune's voice.
"Umm guys! I got a problem! What do I do?!"
"Neptune? What exactly is happening over there."
"Don't ask me! Kotori and Yoshino just suddenly fainted!"
"You too?" Kirito stopped to think however it was hard to do that as he barely knew what was happening, "Yuri! Neptune! Check if they're alright! Try wake them up f you have to! This is no time to-"
"..."
"Yuri? Neptune? Are you there?! Do you copy!? Yuri!? Neptune?! Anyone?!"
Noticing Kirito's distress, Sinon looked away from her scope and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I've lost contact with all the other teams?"
"Well that's not good," Sinon commented. "what should we do about it?"
"Hmm...well it's too late to regroup now. But not being able to communicate with the others may prove to be very problematic. We won't know whether someone needs backup or not." Shinoa said, analyzing the situation, "...have Saturn and Takane left yet?"
"Not yet. Until the enemy seems occupied enough with us, they won't move."
"I see," Shinoa said as she contemplated their options, "...maybe we should-"
Shinoa fell to her knees as a sudden mysterious pain rushed through her entire body.
Kirito and Sinon instantly tensed in worry.
"Shinoa?! Are you okay?"
Kirito bent down and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Shinoa! What's wrong?"
Suddenly, the pain disappeared. Shinoa stood back up completly fine although the shock of the pain was still there.
Shinoa ignored them for a moment as she had to know what that pain was.
Under her breath, Kirito barely heard Shinoa talk to herself, "Shikama...what was that?"
Kirito and Sinon stopped. They remembered Shinoa always saying that name everytime she summoned the demon that she had a contract with.
Inside her head, Shinoa heard a voice.
"Seems like something inside you tried to forcefully make me possess you. But it seems that even with a forceful push, those walls you place around your heart refuse to break..."
Shinoa became even more confused as she didn't know what Shikama meant by 'something inside you'.
Shikama then said something that made Shinoa's heart almost stop, "although it seems your love interest wasn't so lucky."
Shinoa stood up, a bit hesitant to turn around.
"Shinoa, what's wrong?" Kirito asked.
"Where's Yu?" Shinoa asked.
"Yu? Oh well, you see, as soon as he heard that Team RWBY and JNPR were already engaged in battle, he instantly ran off to help them." Sinon explained.
Shinoa looked at both Sinon and Kirito with a sense of great urgency.
They had never seen Shinoa this worried before.
"We need to find him now!"
Before Kirito and Sinon could ask why, Shinoa sprinted off in a panick of hurry.
Neptune had no idea what to do.
No matter how violently she shook them, neither Yoshino nor Kotori would wake up.
"Geez, and to think you would always scold me for sleeping in." Neptune commented to herself.
Neptune then heard Plutia yawn, "OH NO! Plutia, not you too."
"Seeing those two is making me feel sleepy," Plutia gently laid down on the ground.
"Oh okay, nevermind, you're fine."
"G-ood...night..."
"Wait Plutia don't! Don't leave me alone! What am I suppose to-"
Plutia was already well into dreamland before Neptune could even finish.
"Wow, thanks team." Neptune pouted.
Neptune looked Plutia and then at Kotori and Yoshino.
She couldn't ask for help since her ear com wasn't working anymore and she wasn't sure whether leaving her stationed post was a good idea.
So with nothing left to do, Neptune chose what she thought was the smartest course of action.
Neptune grabbed Yoshino and shook her vilently, "YOSHINO! WAKE UP!"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Yoshino woke up in a strange situation.
She was sitting on a red comfy chair in the middle of...nowehere.
Everything was just black. Yoshino saw no floor, no ceiling, no walls...and no Yoshinon.
Just an endless black void with her sitting right in the middle of it.
"Hello, Yoshino."
Yoshino froze in dreaded fear. She looked forward and saw Jack sitting right in front of her on a black comfy chair.
Jack's posture was relaxed with his back leaning against the back of his chair while Yoshino's was extremely tensed.
"Nice to meet you. I must say, you're even more adorable up close."
Yoshino said nothing nor did she move. During her life on Earth back in her world, Yoshin had grown used to people calling her adorable but hearing it coming from Jack's mouth was something else.
"Aww, don't be like that," Jack's smile didn't help Yoshino's case at all, "this is the first time we've had a face to face conversation after all."
He was right. Yoshino wasn't the type to judge upon first meetings, Yoshinon was, but she did hear a lot of scary things about Jack. Not to mention, she saw the 'impact' he dealt to Mato and her friends.
Yoshinon wasn't with her. Shido wasn't with her. That alone was what Yoshino found the scariest about this situation.
"I'm telling you, don't worry, I would never take advantage of a young, naive little girl...that would be way too boring." Jack murmured the last bit so that Yoshino didn't hear.
"Look, let's make a promise," Jack punched his heart as if he was making an official oath, "if you I, Dimensional Rebel of Dark Tech: Jack, promise never to hurt Yoshino Hermit, that's you, ever! As long as I can move..." Jack lifted his pinky finger and offered it to Yoshino, "pinky promise?"
Yoshino had no idea what a pinky promise was...but her posture did relax a little as she found herself believing his words.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Julie woke up to the sound of a cartoon playing.
She opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed was the TV...she then noticed the flat black table with no legs in front of her...then the red comfy chair she was sitting on...and then, she finally noticed the black void of nothingness.
With no words or comment to describe her utter confusion, Julie looked back at the TV.
It was a cartoon about this blue cat chasing this mouse around a house. The cartoon was currently in the middle of a chase scene: Wherever room the cat and mouse went to, they always left a devastation of a mess.
After watching a minute of the cartoon, Julie wondered how the cat wasn't dead. There were multiple occasions where the cat ran into walls, had multiple heavy things to fall on top of it and at one point, the cat was impaled by an object in the most cartoonish way possible.
"Hahahahaha!"
Julie flinched.
"Hahahaha, oh don't you just love slapstick comedy!"
Julie looked forward and saw Jack sitting right in front of her on a black comfy chair.
Julie said absolutely nothing.
Jack chuckled at Julie's stoic reaction. He grabbed a glass cup and poured tea in it with his teapot, which had appeared out of nowhere.
He then offered it to Julie, "Would you like some tea?"
Julie looked at the cup of tea for a good amount of seconds. After Jack assured that it wasn't poisoned, Julie accepted it and took a sip.
Straight away, Julie could tell Jack wasn't lying about the tea not being poisoned.
It was just regular tea...tea that tasted really bitter.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Yu reached for his demonic sword but found it was not with him.
Jack just grinned in amusement as he leaned back on his comfy black chair, "Slow down, I didn't come here to fight."
"And why should I believe that?" Yu made sure to keep his distance as he knew too well about what Jack was capable of, "How do I know you're not here to kill me?"
"Now why would a person like me do something like that?" Jack asked.
Yu could barely believe that Jack had asked that question, "You're exactly the type of person who would do that."
"How do you know that's just a speculation."
"Speculation?..." With frustration slowly building up in him, Yu remembered the traumatized expression on Mato's and her friends' face when they returned to Beacon on that night, "You forcefully trapped us in this world. Brought enemies from other worlds here. You're invading Beacon right now. You hurt my family! How is that a speculation?"
"For your information," Jack interrupted, "you would've never met your so-called 'new family' if it weren't for me."
Yu flinched. No matter how he thought about it, what Jack said was technically true. He also noticed another fact, if Jack wanted to kill him, he would've done it a long time ago.
"However, I will not deny the other ones."
"...What do you want?"
"Oh nothing much, I just want to chat... that's all."
Yu looked at him with a skeptical look before slowly taking a seat.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"So Yoshino, how have you enjoyed your time here in the world of Remnant?" Jack began.
Yoshino thought about it, "...Umm...well, ...ah..."
Yoshino fidgeted in her seat. She was so scared at first by Jack's sudden appearance that she had completly that she was too shy at face to face conversation. Usually, Yoshinon did the talking and the only other person she had ever opened up to was Shido. Neither of them was here.
Yoshino jumped when she heard a flash of light. She looked and saw Jack holding a camera that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Sorry, that expression made your face look even more adorable just then." Jack apologies as he examined the photos he took.
Yoshino couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable with that.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"I have good teammates. This world is wonderful and full of things I've never seen and now Tooru is here." A single piece of Julie's hair moved when the name 'Tooru' was mentioned.
Jack chuckled, "You can thank me for that. I brought him here after all."
"We also had times where we suffered a lot," Julie added.
Jack laughed, "You can thank me for that as well. Anyways, so Julie, you came from a school called Kouryou Academy right?"
"Ja."
"And the twin swords you use are apparently a manifestation of your soul?"
"Ja."
"Fascinating."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Why are you doing this?" Yu asked, getting a bit impatient. He had rushed off to help Team RWBY and JNPR but then this happened.
"For fun."
"Exactly what part of this is fun?"
"Seeing all of you gather together of course. That's the whole point of a crossover!" Jack replied as if Yu had asked a very simple question.
Yu examined Jack as they conversed. Even up close, he couldn't see what Jack's face looked like besides his mouth. Anything above his mouth was covered by a black shadow from his hood.
"Couldn't you have done that without causing trouble and launching all those attacks."
"Yeah...but what's a story without conflict. Problems and hardships... they're indispensable to an interesting story. So I create them..." Jack replied with a smile and he gestured his hands towards himself, "that is the job of a villain after all."
Yu couldn't understand him at all.
He saw no motive or goal in Jack's actions. He had nothing to gain and certainly nothing to lose. So why? Was Jack really doing all this purely for fun?
If so, Yu realized that Jack's definition of the word 'fun' must be really morbid.
At this point, it didn't really matter though. His motives never mattered.
"We will stop you." Yu declared. His body was still tensed and ready to move.
"Of course you will...you are the good guys."
:::::::::::::::::::::::
"Oh my, it's almost time," Jack said clapping his hands together which made Yoshino flinch, "sorry I got too carried away with our chat."
Yoshino, with all the courage she could muster, asked, "T...T-time for...w-what?"
Jack smiled as he ignored the question, "Thank you Yoshino. I'm not lying when I say I enjoyed our little chat...even though you didn't say much, I still took a lot of photos. Which is going to make an interesting comparison."
Yoshino felt even more uncomfortable with that comment.
:::::::::::::
"Ah yes," Jack cheered as he pointed at the TV, "this is the best part."
Julie turned her head and looked at the TV.
Her eyes widened in shock as she dropped her cup of tea.
:::
Jack looked up at the sky, "It's beautiful isn't it?"
After throwing Jack one more skeptical look, Yu looked as well.
Within half a second, Yu's body relaxed as his thoughts were being clouded by what he saw in the sky.
In the sky, there was a giant floating trumpet.
::.
The TV was playing footage of the death of Julie's father. Footage that shouldn't even exist.
The worst part of it was that the footage was on reply.
Julie stood there like a frozen statue, staring.
In the reflection of Julie's eye, Jack could see was Julie's father died over and over and over...
Jack stood up and walked towards Julie. He leaned forward and whispered something into Julie's ears.
:..
Yu's demon, Asuramaru, appeared and tried to stop Yu from touching the trumpet but Jack summoned 30 chains to retrain him.
"Oh hi there." Jack greeted.
Asuramaru growled at Jack, "You bastard! What are trying to do!"
Jack just smiled, "Relax, I didn't come here to fight...I came here to see a fight."
...
"Y-y...Y-Yoshino."
Hearing a voice that wasn't Jack's, Yoshino jumped in shock. She slowly looked down.
It was Kotori.
To Yoshino's incredulous horror. Kotori was at the mercy of Jack's feet with a sword impaled through her chest.
From the looks of it, there was a large amount of gravity that was pushing Kotori down.
"R-Run..." Kotori said with the last remaining amount of her strength.
"Now, now. let's not ruin the moment, " Jack commented as he stabbed another red sword through Kotori's head.
Yoshino stared at Kotori and the amount of blood that was there, "W-why...y-you pr-promised."
"Oh don't worry, I still remember the promise we made," Jack said with a smile as he dug his sword deeper into Kotori's skull, "it's a promise I'll never break..."
Walking over Kotori's body, Jack approached Yoshino who was practically frozen with fear at this point.
Yoshino felt like fainting but for some reason, she couldn't. She was forced to witness every detail of this horror of a scene.
Jack leaned closer to Yoshino and raised his hand.
Yoshino braced herself however her eyes remained wide open.
She flinched with she felt Jack's hand...gently rub her on the head.
Yoshino felt even worst. When Shido did it to her, she always felt comforted and safe but now...she had never felt so scared.
"It's time to wake up now, Yoshino."
...
...
...
...
..
.
Plutia yawned happily.
She had a good night rest and was able to take a quick nap before the battle so she was in a pretty good mood.
After stretching her arms and yawning, Plutia opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a frozen Neptune flying towards her.
Neptune crashed into Plutia and the pair were harshly flung across the hallway until they made an explosive impact on the wall.
Combined with the wall debris that fell on top of them, the ice that Neptune was covered in shattered and a huge quantity of the shattered pieces ended up impaling Plutia's legs, arms, and chest.
A full second passed with no one making a move.
Everything went silent.
Silence...and then the first move was made:
Both Neptune's and Plutia's eyes flew open as they held their share crystals, the ones Jason gave them, tightly in their hands.
From beneath the debris, a bright light emerged.
Neptune's body began transforming. Clothes were replaced. Height was increased. Hair grew longer and changed color. Wings emerged from her back as Neptune became Purple Heart.
Plutia went through a similar transformation. Clothes, height, and hair all changed drastically with the additional wings. her face changed and she bit arose as Plutia became Iris Heart.
The two CPU Goddesses gracefully hovered above the ground as they both drew out their weapons.
Iris Heart was extremely angry, she slashed her whip, "And just when I was starting to feel good. Alright, who's going to get it this time-"
"Plutia, wait! They're-" Purple Heart tried to warn her but Iris didn't listen.
"Oh, I'm going to make them beg and scream for disrupting me. How dare they hurt-"
Iris Heart froze as soon as she saw who her opponents were.
Kotori and Yoshino...Slowly walking towards them in a menacing way.
They both looked very different.
Iris Heart & Purple Heart vs Inverse Kotori & Inverse Yoshino.
They found Yu...but he wasn't in a good position.
Kirito's and Sinon's mouth were wide open while Shinoa's stared in horror.
Yu was screaming.
Blood was bleeding from Yu's dark eyes.
His body was making inhuman, bone-cracking noises.
But the most disturbing detail was the massive black wing-like structures that were forcefully sprouting from his upper right shoulder.
It was a transformation that looked terrifying and extremely painful.
Shinoa instantly recognized this form. This was her second encounter with it after all.
Yuichiro's Seraph Form "King of Salt": The 2nd trumpet out of seven. A powerful angel that takes host in Yuichiro's body. Although extremely powerful, while Yu is in this form, he goes berserk and attempts to kill any human nearby. He displays no interest in vampires and recognizes no one.
Kirito drew out his weapon.
Sinon flew back to get into a good position for sniping.
Shinoa...just stared.
Team KSYS (3/4) vs Berserk Yuichiro
Kanade stood in front of Yuri, "Guard Skill: Distortion."
The gun in Yuri's hands shook, "J-Julie?"
A dark aura surrounded Julie's body. An aura that spoke nothing but bad news.
Julie raised her twin swords...and sprinted forward with speed that Kanade couldn't even see.
Curse of the Fang: A berserk form that Julie takes every time she is reminded about her father's death.
Julie swung her twin swords so fast that Yuri couldn't even see her arms anymore. She must've been swinging her swords 100 times per second.
For the very first time in Kanade's life, she saw her Distortion shield begin to crack.
Neither Kanade nor Yuri could tell or see what happened after Kanade's shield broke.
All they knew was now both of them were on the ground. Their clothes were torn and red deep cuts were all over their body.
They both looked at Julie who was preparing for a second attack.
It was then, Yuri's instincts kicked in.
She summoned a hang gun, aimed and fired.
Team SKYJ (2/4) vs Curse of the Fang
Jason's eyes widened in shock as he turned his head in the direction of Beacon.
He had sensed something unpleasant.
He then turned his head and glared at Jack, "What did you do?"
Jack just chuckled, "Oh nothing... I just thought it would better if we just skip to the main course."
Strength stopped and flew her arm in front of Yuu.
The twins looked forward.
They tensed and got ready for battle.
"So it seems they've finally begun their attack," Yuu commented as she raised her orge arms.
Strength turned all four of her orge arms into Gatlin guns as the hordes of enemies charged at them, "Here they come!"
It was at that hour where battles commenced all over Beacon.
Chaos struck.
Students ran.
Guns fired.
Debris fell.
...
Mato raised her arms in surrender.
The tip of Black's insane cannon lance was a center meter away from piercing Ruby's neck.
Even though she saw it coming, Ruby almost jumped in shock when Black was there.
But to be fair, Ruby did enter without knocking.
Despite sharing the same face as Mato's, Black intimidated Ruby to no end.
Black didn't say anything nor did she put down her weapon.
Now that Ruby thought about it, this was probably the first time she had interacted with Black.
Building up all her courage in a single gulp, Ruby said, "I need to talk with Mato...please."
Black's expression didn't move an inch as she stared right into Ruby's eyes.
Her eyes that glowed in the dark really did add onto Black's eerie factor.
To Ruby's heavenly relief, Black dropped her weapon and stepped aside.
There was a lot of noise coming from outside but Ruby ignored it. She basically dashed to Mato's side and looked.
She flinched.
It seemed Mato's mental condition was much worse than she had anticipated.
A/N End! My goodness, there's so much happening that it's hard to keep up and I'm the author for crying out loud.
Apologies if you find mistakes even though I said there would hardly be any since I started proofreading but I'm getting really stressed out with school assessments and once again, these chapters are taking too long.
But anyways, thank you so much for reading and thank you to those who are still keeping up.
So yeah...bye.
