Hey, D211, I am here to just remind some haters that had somehow gotten to this chapter that Sasuke has done plenty of wrong things he would regret. For example, he abandoned two of the Team Kata members at the Kage Summit, and when it came too, was ready to kill Karin just to get to Danzo, and didn't even have a second thought. He also puts Sakura under Genjutsu and knocks her out, and he even apologized to her after the final fight between him and Naruto. I'm just saying, but still I will admit that you have a few points, so I'll give you that. Oh, and BTW, I will be counting the results of the poll tomorrow, and tomorrow will decide whether Sasuke will be shipped with Weiss, or Ruby, so hurry and get your votes in!. Anywho, enjoy!
Sasuke guessed that he looked intimidating right now. He hoped he did. Because on the inside, he felt like crap.
That skeletal susanoo had practically sucked out his chakra, and was unstable and hard to maintain
The drawbacks of using susanoo with only one mangekyou
Sasuke could only imagine what would happen if he had used the armored susanoo
Sasuke's chakra reserves had been drained, and only 60% remained, and the jutsu that Sasuke used before had barely even tugged on his chakra reserves, even though the chakra cost would have probably depleted Sasuke's chakra reserves had he been in his younger years
He would have to stay away from using Susanoo, which meant no playing around whenever opponents like these Maidens fire fireballs at him. And he was starting to get bored anyway.
The big man who had multiple dust crystals in him helped up Cinder, and Raven was next to him
"Forget about the brat! We need to get the Relic!" Raven shouted to Cinder
Sasuke looked around to see the traitor Leo had appeared at the bottom of the balcony that he stood upon earlier, which was held up by a statue of a women, and the headmaster had done something because Sasuke could hear something coming from the statue
Suddenly, the statue started sinking into the ground, and it formed an elevator
Cinder and Raven stood on the elevator as it started to descend downward, and the big man, whom Sasuke heard Cinder call Hazel, Vernal, Lionheart and a weakened Emerald covered the opening
Sasuke looked around, and saw his comrades by his side
Weiss, Jaune, Ren, Nora on his left
Ruby, Oscar, Qrow, and Yang on his right
Sasuke looked forward, and said, "I'll distract them, then I'll go down to the vault and stop the Maidens. The rest of you keep them busy."
Ruby looked at Sasuke as if he was crazy, and said, "But, you can't take two maidens by you-" then she remembered that he just did, then nodded
Oscar looked at Sasuke and said, "Ozpin wants to have a meeting when this is over."
Sasuke nodded, then looked forward, and said, "Alright, let's go."
Sasuke then dashed forward, and was about to throw a strong punch at Vernal when Hazel crossed his path with his arm and caught his fist, then swung him in the air and threw him, but Sasuke landed on his feet
"I should probably take him down first," Sasuke thought, "But he's strong, and it may take a few good hits to keep him down, so I may have to just get by him as quickly as possible."
Sasuke then heard a blast, and a shotgun blast went flying by him and hit Hazel square in the chest, getting him slightly off-balanced, and Sasuke dashed forward and and jumped up, landed on his shoulders, and used them for a launch pad as he jumped off of them and into the elevator shaft, and he started falling, and falling, and falling.
/
Ruby charged forward, boosting herself by firing sniper shots behind her, and she went towards Emerald, who had her sickles again, and Ruby brought Crescent Rose down with as much strength as she could.
Emerald crossed her sickles together and blocked the blow, and Qrow was behind her, and he hit Emerald with the butt of Harbinger, and Emerald's head pitched forward from the blow, and Ruby swung a kick to her side and sent her flying.
"Look out!" Qrow said as he went to her side, and using Harbinger, he blocked a attack from the giant Hazel
Hazel then used his other fist and bashed Qrow in the chest and knocked him away, electrocuting him while he was at it
"Hey! We aren't done yet!"
Hazel turned around to see Oscar, his Cane in his hand
Hazel roared in rage, and charged at the boy
Oscar rolled to the side, and swung his cane and hit Hazel in the chin, but Hazel quickly recovered, and swung a left hook, which Oscar ducked under, before jumping backward
Weiss and Jaune were in heated combat with Vernal
Jaune charged forward, shield up and sword drawn, and vernal jumped and landed on his head with one foot, then hopped off and made him faceplant into the ground, and she used her axes and brought them down against Weiss's Myternaster
Weiss stumbled backward from the attack but regains her footing, then she swept her Rapier in front of her, and a wall of ice formed
She then sinks the blade of Myternaster into the ground, and a giant glyph is summoned, and a white knight begins to climb out
Suddenly, Vernal burst from the wall, having slashed it apart, and the separated the knights head from it's shoulders before it fully came out
"Did you think I would make it easy?" Vernal asked
Weiss jumped backward again as Vernal slashed, and she was forced to back up
Jaune then charged at Vernal from behind, and Vernal saw him coming and jumped backward, dodging his slash, which ended up hitting Weiss, who attacked at the same time, and both of them ended up hitting each other, thankfully, their aura's protected them
"Watch it!" Weiss shouted
Jaune was about to reply when Vernal kicked him into the air, and Weiss began to make the summoning glyph again just to be elbowed in the side by Vernal, who then followed up with a strong knee to her stomach which sent Weiss flying, and the attack shattered her aura, and Vernal fired a shot that hit Weiss in her stomach, and blood began to seep out
"NO!" Jaune shouted
Meanwhile, Oscar was having trouble fight Hazel
Not only could the man seem to take so many hits, but Lionheart rained projectiles from his weapon, and it was hard to keep himself from getting hit without being hit by Hazel's giant fists
Oscar jumped up to avoid a strike from Hazel, when Lionheart shot him out of the sky, and Oscar fell to the ground
Suddenly, the fighters heard shouting and a commotion from outside the Academy, and they saw lights from outside.
Ruby looked at her sister Yang, and said, "Yang, go help out Sasuke."
Yang nodded, then ran towards the empty space where the elevator used to be and jumped down it
Meanwhile, in the vault
Sasuke had just made it to the bottom, camouflaged, and was there early enough to see the gates open, and see Cinder just try to backstab her own comrade
Raven stood in front of a red gate, that had giant trees with orange flowers above it, and they all stood on a singular bridge
Raven and Cinder were now locked in fierce combat, and Sasuke could see that Cinder's arm was just a black, slender, unwholly arm with claws now
Cinder stretched her grimm arm forward, and caught Raven by the neck and Raven's back hit the gate, and she struggled to break free
Suddenly, the Cinder's black arm started to pulse red, and Sasuke could see with his Sharingan that Cinder was attempting to pull the Maiden power out from Raven
Sasuke literally walked up to Cinder, uncovered himself, wound back his elbow, and bashed his fist into her face and sent her flying backward like a ragdoll
Sasuke looked at Raven who was had her hand on her neck, and she looked up to see Sasuke
Sasuke drew his Kusanagi, and pointed it at Raven
It would be better to kill her now, but then they wouldn't be able to get this so called 'Relic'
Sasuke sighed, before turning around to Cinder, who had gotten up
"Damn it, why are you here!? Why do you have to ruin everything!?" Cinder shouted
Sasuke walked forward, sheathing his Kusanagi
They were fighting on a bridge, and Sasuke was gonna throw Cinder off
Sasuke continued to march towards Cinder
Cinder shouted in anger, and rained down fireballs on him
Sasuke drew out his Kusanagi and deflected each and every projectile, all while steadily marching forward
Cinder made two swords of fire, and charged at Sasuke
Sasuke scoffed, and waited until Cinder drew closer, and with impeccable timing and speed, he reached his hand out and plucked Cinder out of the air by her neck
"You know, I'm starting to feel unimpressed with this world," Sasuke said, before he rammed a Chidori into her face, shattering her aura and sending her flying off the bridge, and Sasuke looked over to see her fall into the bottomless black abyss
Sasuke looked behind him to see Raven, who balked at him
"Open the vault. Now," Sasuke said sternly
Raven sneered at him, and said, "And why would I do that?"
Sasuke stepped forward, his Kusanagi gleaming, "Because if you don't, I'll make you."
Raven stepped back, then reluctantly nodded
She and Sasuke walked to the orange door, and Raven put her hand on it
Immediately, patterns that reminded Sasuke of Spring glowed blue on the door, and it opened, and behind it lied a sandy desert that reminded Sasuke of the Time-Space dimension that Kaguya had sent him to during his and Naruto's fight against her
Suddenly, they heard a thud, and they both turn to see Yang
Yang walked towards them, then looked at Raven and asked, "Why?"
Raven looked at her daughter, and said, "I warned you Yang. I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Qrow and Oz. So you can believe me when I say that this isn't personal
Yang then replied, "You opened the vault."
"Thanks to the chaos you and your friends caused upstairs," Raven replied, "I knew you could handle it. You're my daughter after all."
Yang finally got to the point, "Qrow and Oz told me how the Maiden powers are transferred. The girl you found. She would've had to trust you an awful lot if you were in her final thoughts."
"I'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed," Raven scoffed
Yang replies, "No, I'm starting to ask questions, like you said. Now tell me, what happened to the last Spring Maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness?"
Raven turned towards Yang and said, "What does it matter to you?"
Yang's eyes suddenly read disappointment, and she said, "I can already see the answer. It's all over you're face. How could you?!"
So. Raven killed the last Spring Maiden to gain power. Like how some Uchiha would kill someone close to them to gain power as well. She was in some ways, like Sasuke, but in many others, she was not.
Raven crossed her arms and said, "She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for this world! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did-"
"Wasn't personal?" Yang interrupted, suspicion in her voice
"Was mercy!" Raven finished
"Which is it mom? Are you merciful or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into this trap because you knew I could handle it, or because it meant you could get what you wanted?"
"It's not that simple," Raven said, "You don't know me, you don;t know what I've been through, the choices I had to make!"
"You're right. I don't know you. I only know the Raven that Dad told me about. She was troubled, and complicated, but she fought for what she believed in. Whether it was her team or her tribe! Did you kill her too!?"
Raven looked at Yang, and her eyes glowed with a red flame, "I've stared death in the face over and over again! And every time I spat into that face and survived because I'm strong enough to do what others won't!
Sasuke was about to interject when Yang interrupted him, "Oh, shut up. You don't know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself!"
Yang then clenched her fist, before pointing at Raven, "You may be powerful, but that doesn't make you strong."
"Who do you think you are, lecturing me!? Standing there and shaking like a scared little girl!"
"Yeah, I'm scared, but I'm still standing here!" Yang replied, and then walked up to her mother, "I'm not like you. I won't run. Which is why you're going to give me the Relic!"
"And why would I-" Raven started to ask when Sasuke let his chakra flare out
"Because if you don't, I will make you suffer until you do. But don't worry, it won't be personal," Sasuke said, "And if that isn't enough, the Relic will make you a target from now on."
Yang then followed up, "She'll come after you with everything she has. Or she'll come after me. And I'll be standing there, waiting for her."
Raven looked at her daughter, a saddened expression on her face, "You don't want to do this, Yang."
"Nope. But I'm gonna do it anyway," Yang then walked past her, adn towards the vault door.
Sasuke followed
"I'm sorry," they heard Raven say
"Yeah, I'm sorry too," Yang said, but when they turned around, the only thing left was ablack bird feather.
/
"That's enough! Just give up already!" Ruby shouted to her enemies
Everyone was exhausted, injured, and Weiss was barely holding on, and Jaune was attending to her. While everyone was fighting, Weiss had started to become enveloped in jaune's Aura, amplifying her own, and healing her. So Jaune's Semblance was healing.
And it turns out that the commotion outside turned out to be Blake with multiple Faunus warriors that was helping her stop the White Fang attack on Haven Academy.
Hazel, Emerald, Vernal, and a disabled Mercury stared back at her
"It's not over! Cinder will come back, and she'll have the Relic, and she will stop all of you!" Emerald replied
Suddenly, the elevator came back, and Sasuke and Yang stood on it, Yang holding the Relic in her hand
Suddenly, Emerald started to cry, and she fell onto her knees
The other two started to back up, Hazel dragging Mercury
"Emerald, we have to go," Mercury said
Emerald looked to Mercury, then to Yang
"Emerald!" Mercury shouted
Suddenly, in her rage, Emerald did one last thing
Suddenly, the room went dark, and a black mist appeared in the middle of the room, and a white, deathly pale women in a black outfit came out
It was giant, it's head almost hitting the roof
Sasuke was actually caught off guard for a second
"What is this?"
Sasuke activates his Sharingan, but the moment he did, it disappeared
Sasuke was a bit puzzled, and it seems that his comrades had broken out of whatever it was they saw as well
"What, what was that?" a new person said, a cat faunus
"That was an illusion. But an accurate one," Ozpin said, who had taken over Oscar sometime during the battle, "That was Salem."
Suddenly, three more people ran in, two of them hugging the cat faunus. One of them was a big man, the other was a woman. They resembled each other closely, and Sasuke assumed that was her family. The third one was a blonde monkey faunus.
"The police rounded up the White Fang members," the woman said
The big man then said, "Haven is safe. But it seems Adam has escaped."
"Don't worry," a voice said, and another person came out, and said, "He was the only one to escape tonight. And the White Fang that followed him? Well, they won't follow a leader who abandons them. He won't have help after this. He'll be all by himself. And the White Fang will be left divided."
Sasuke frowned
Who was this Adam person? And who were these new people?
The big man spoke, "We've been fighting amongst ourselves for too long. Perhaps it's time for a new brotherhood."
Sasuke ignored the family as they spoke, and Yang handed Qrow the Relic
"What happened?" Qrow asked
"I don't know, when I got there, Cinder was gone," Yang replied
Sasuke then said, "I got rid of her. She won't be bothering us."
Qrow nodded, and said to Yang, "And Raven?"
"Gone," Yang said
"Well, we're all glad that you're still here firecracker," Qrow said
Suddenly, Ruby collapsed onto her knees, and Weiss went to her side
"Are you okay?" Weiss asked
"I feel like I should be asking you guys that," Ruby replied
Yang sat down next to Ruby, and Blake walked up
"So, Blake, what are you doing here?" Ruby asked
"Well, I was actually going to ask you that question," Blake replied
"Well, it's long story," Ruby said
"Well, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here," Blake said
Ruby smiled, and said, "Well, that's all that matters. That we're all here together. Right?" Ruby then looked at Yang
Blake looked at Yang, who paused, then nodded and smiled, "Yeah."
Blake smiled back
Weiss held out her arm, and Blake came and they all four entered into a group hug
Qrow then walked to Oscar-Ozpin, who was on his knees and panting, and then Qrow said, "I don't know how we did it, but we got it Oz. We got the Relic."
Oscar nodded
"Hey, you okay?" Qrow asked
"I'm all right," Oscar said in his normal voice
Qrow looked at him like he turned into a toad, then asked, "Kid?"
"He's resting. Too much energy fighting." Oscar replied
"Hey, don't strain yourself!" Qrow said
"No! He had a message," Oscar said in a strained, tired voice
He then struggled and slowly said, "We need…to get the…..the lamp to…..Atlas."
He then gasped and fainted
Qrow caught him before he hit the ground and lowered him onto it
Qrow got up, and looked at the lamp, and it looked as if it were pulsing
Whew, finally gotten through season 5, and through all the blood, sweat, and tears, I have finally done it. And since I did finished Volume 5 today, I'm gonna give yall a bonus scene before I finish off. See ya, and enjoy!
Salem saw the boy fight through her jellyfish Grimm
Cinder didn't even stand a chance, not even with the Spring Maiden Raven Branwen by her side
The Jellyfish could camouflage, and Salem watched this very scene before her eyes.
The way he manipulated fire and electricity, the way he summoned that purple beast, and those eyes. Those red and black eyes
Suddenly, Salem remembered something
She had brought in an old prophetess to tell her how to get to Ozpin once again. Instead, the old woman said something else
It was almost a century ago, and she remembered only little bits of that time, but despite never remembering it until now, the memory of that time rang crystal clear in her head.
"When division is no more, and the battle is set, and a man will rise, one who's eyes brings darkness to one's soul
One not of thy shattered moon, but one of element lands. He is known as Wielder of Darkness, the one who betrays thine lightbringer and skilled in war
So powerful is he, so few can match thee, power of the sight so great, his body the vessel of powerful spirit
Once he is one with the Eye of Time and Space, forevermore you're coffin shall be fiery stone, a black moon,"
Salem had made sure she paid for not cooperating
There were a few things that matched this boy, but other things that were yet to be answered
Salem wondered
"Sasuke Uchiha. If he is the one, then I must begin countermeasures. It would not be very good to be defeated by a mere child."
Salem then wondered, "Who is Sasuke Uchiha?"
