But, if you want that other story with Jonathan Cobalt and his team to happen let me know through private message or add it too you or review.
POV: Ruby Rose
"It was always your fault. You killed her. Now I will let you know what it feels like." I shout in anger and rush forward. He swings his black bladed instrument of death right at my head. I plant my left leg between his and my right leg off to the side so I am standing perpendicular to him. I duck the swing and put my right hand on the ground. I put the majority of my weight on that very hand and swing my right foot through the air toward him. He ducks the strike, but I expected that. I use the momentum and pivot my left leg so I am standing and facing him. I swing my left hand, the one that has been used the least, and pummel his ear.
That strike sends him reeling. "Now is my chance at a weapon." As he falls back I grab the sword in the bottom half of his sheathe. Which happens to be his ivory colored one. Then I swing the murder pole toward him and he counters with the other.
I try to match him blow for blow but it is very difficult as he knows more about a Kodāch than I do. He swoops his blade in a downward arc that I don't have time to defend myself from. But he didn't hit me. In fact he hit my blade and it went flying through the air. He held the end of the sheathe that it goes in up into the air and presses a button and the blade lands into the sheathe.
"Ruby, I don't want to hurt you! Let me explain please." He tries desperately to lie to me. But I know the truth.
"Explain what?!" I shout. "Gonna give me the play by play?!" I lunge forward again. I may not know my way around a kodāchi but I'll beat his ass with my hands. He tries swinging directly for my throat, but I just activate my semblance and distort the wind around me, knocking him flat on his back. From there I jump onto him and place my knees on his arms and my left hand on the right side of his head. I pull my right hand to punch him, but when my fist should have connected it falls right through him. He stands up, right through me. "Right, his semblance."
Great. I'm sorta glad he used this. Now he has less aura and I can kill him easier. "Why Johnny?! Why did you kill my mother?! My poor innocent Mamma?!"
"I didn't! I walked in on that mess and you blamed it on me!" He shouts.
"Don't try to lie! You held the god damned murder weapon! Now I'll make you taste the vengeance I've had in store for you." I run at him again. This time when I throw my leg at his head I stop it dead right next to him and drop my leg on his shoulder. I lean my entire body back as he grabs that same leg. With my right on his shoulder and my hands on the ground I kick me off into his leg, which causes him to grunt in pain and fall. With my right leg free and my hands still on the ground I pivot my hand stand and curl my left leg in so I can swing my right toward his mid section. But again he activates his semblance and my leg crashes painfully into the hard asphalt below.
"Just give up Ruby! You won't land a hit." He says. "I am able to become intangible remember?"
"Yes I remember. But I also remember that you can only hold that for a few seconds at time. Then your aura is gone. That's why I'll never stop. Not until you are dead." "But he does have a point. If I can't hit him then I can't kill him. Maybe I have to move faster." That's when I kick my speed semblance into gear. I come stand in front of him in a split second and duck down placing my hands to the left of me and sweeping his legs out from under him. With my hands still on the ground I bend my arms and slalom my feet into his stomach, sending him up into the air. I jump above him using my semblance and am about to bash my foot into his chest, but I hear Weiss in the distance.
"Damn. Why now?" I let Jonathan fall to the floor. "You got lucky slime ball. But watch your back." I say with menace. "You had better leave." He gets up and starts to run. But he runs at me. "No no no, what do I do?! No one can see me use my hand to hand! I've been forbidden from showing others."
He swings his kodachi at me once again and this time I punch the flat of the black harbinger of death, sending it out of his hands. Then I activate my speed semblance and disappear leaving a outline of myself in rose petals in front of him.
Once he notices this he whips around only to meet my fist. I've knocked him all the way out. He hit the floor sleeping. A light snore echoing out. Just as Weiss walks down the alley. "Weiss, we need to go home. Now."
"I understand Ruby, but what about him?" She asks with clear fear. I look at him. As long as he lives he's a threat. I look around for the discarded sword. Finding it I slowly drag myself over to the blade. Once I kill him my life will be complete. I will have "...fulfilled my promise to Mamma."
"Ruby? What are you talking about?" I face palm as I realize I said that out loud.
"Nothing Weiss. You don't need to worry about it." I look at Johnny with hate in my silver pools. I'm no longer dragging my feet. I stride right up to him. "Now Jonathan. Time for you to reap what you sow." I lift his blade above my head. "An eye for an eye right you heartless ass. I hope he'll welcome you." I begin the blades deadly assault toward Jonathan's heart.
As the blade reaches half way another, smaller blade intercepts it. Knocking it from my hand. I look up and see a figure in a black hood on a roof. "The Reaper." "Hey you! Stay out of something you aren't part of. He deserves to die!" The Reaper just looks at me. Or at least I think he did. I can't tell. But he turns and runs the second a bullheads engine can be heard. I don't care. All I can see is red. I begin another grab for the weapon only to feel something soft press against me and a pair of familiar arms wrap around me. They belonged to my white haired and terrified girlfriend.
"Ruby, what's wrong? Why does he deserve to die? What could he have done to you? I can't stand too see you like this. You are not the cheerful redhead I fell in love with. Come back to me. Please."
