Sorry for not updating guys been busy trying to find a Beta reader and also hooked on Injustice 2 and finishing Batman Arkham Knight(Those side quests are something else man only 116% completed still gotta do riddler side quest) without further ado let's get into the chapter.
*The Land of Darkness*
The Land of Darkness was a barren wasteland, with rocky terrain and enormousGravity Dust Crystals sprouting from the ground. The sky is a dark red. Grimm spawning in large numbers but that's not the focus now the focus is the castle in the middle of it
The Evernight Castle
The Castle's color scheme consisted of different shades of violets, purples, reddish sky and black for shadows.The entire building was dimly lit and can only be illuminated by weak candles, the dark sky and sometimes the moon. It seemed to be built out of rock and purple crystal and decorated by smaller crystals and candles.
In the castle was a large room it resembled a conference room.The room features a crystal table surrounded by six wooden chairs and a throne
Sitting in the respective seats were four men and 3 women
The first man was a heavily and bandaged Tyrian
The second man was a tall middle-aged man with a slim build and slightly tanned skin. He had short black and gray hair as well as a thick mustache and eyebrows, and green eyes. He wore a grey overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt, and a black necktie. His pants were the same color as his overcoat. His yellow-buttoned undercoat and fingerless gloves matched his cordovan shoes, under which he wore yellow socks.
This man was Arthur Watts
The third Man was a was a tall and muscular middle-aged man. He was also unusually large and broad who stood 6'4". He had short brown hair, a beard and hazel eyes. His hairy arms had some large scars running up them, a result of using Dust infusions.
He wore a two-tone olive green coat over a black 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a large belt. His pants were black, with a pouch strapped to each pants leg, and his boots are brown with white fronts. Some of his scars near the edges of his sleeves are visible.
He was Hazel Reinhart
The final male was a pale, young man with gray eyes and gray hair, partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He wore a slate gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket that covers his upper body. He also wears a single notched belt with what appears to be a sash or bandana draped over it. Protecting his arms are a set ofrerebraces and Vambraces.
Mercury Black
Sitting opposite to him was young woman with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair is a light, mint-green with a straight fringe and bangs as well as two long locks on each side
She wears two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of strappy high-heeled pumps.her attire consisted of an intricate white top and an olive-colored crop top, on the back was an emblem of a gem.
Emerald Satsuri and she was currently fawning over the other woman next to her
a fair-skinned woman with ashen-black hair. Her hair was short, she wore a black mask that appears to be made of black glass over her missing left eye and the scarring from said injury extends into a slight x-shape over the bridge of her nose, as well as having deformed and degraded the tissue of her left ear.
She wears a long, dark red dress with one long, wide sleeve hiding her left arm. The edges of the collar and the opening for the right arm are gold-colored, and the upper chest and left sleeve are decorated with golden designs. The right side of her dress was open from the hip down with two gold-colored straps were made up of interwoven ropes connecting the front half to the back half of her thigh.On the right hip, the dress had a black rhombus-shaped gem set in a gold-colored metal of the same shape, with feathers of varying shades of blue extending from the bottom of it. On her right arm, she wore a long, gray glove, the top of which has a gold-colored metal ring with curvy branching extensions going up to her arm. Her right ear had a ring-shaped earring.
Cinder Fall
The final person in the room had a dagerous aura of anger,as her nails clench on the table creating spiderweb cracks the rest of people. Her skin is currently a deathly pallor, with jet black sclerae in her eyes, and glowing crimson irises that shined brightly. She had her hair in large bun with six offshoots wrapped together that also suspends several obsidian-colored ornaments.
she had dark purple veins that line her face and arms, and a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead. She wore a very long, short-sleeved black robe that obscures her feet, with its distinctive feature being a curved high collar with dark red trim bordering the outer edge of a narrow window exposing her bust in a vertical ellipsis resembling an eye, and completed with a long shawl emblazoned with three interconnected, maroon-colored vertical elliptic sigils resembling a trio of overseeing eyes above a series of maroon-colored diamond emblems. She also wore a ring resembling a beetle on her right middle finger, which now have longer fingernails with jet-black nail polish.
The Queen of Grimm Salem
And she was NOT happy Not.One.Bit
Why you may ask well Tyrian came back yesterday and collapsed from his injuries he just woke up a few hours ago and she held this meeting to know what happened to Tyrian's target she could've felt the individual's aura from her castle which meant their Aura reserves were absolutely Massive.Unfortunately she couldn't feel it anymore which meant two things:
1)He was dead
2)He's suppressing his Aura which in turn means he's now more difficult to track
She didn't doubt Tyrian's tracking and skill he could most definitely beat Cinder in a fight without her maiden powers and can still put up a good front with even if she used them.
So she was a bit suprised to hear that he was taken down with little to no difficulty but that suprised turn to being absolutely pissed off when he relayed a message the target sent
She didn't know why but hearing his name...Acnologia it sent a chill down her spine but it was overturned by her anger at being called a grimm slut.
She gritted her teeth together so hard her subordinates could most likely hear it. When was the last time she felt so angry? She couldn't recall
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself. She reopened them and addressed the inner circle
"We'll deal with this Acnologia at a later date he's suppressed his Aura I can no longer feel it so this means a new plan for now" she honestly can't wait to hear Acnologia beg on his knees for forgiveness it's been a long time since she herself killed someone
(Acnologia didn't know why but he suddenly burst out laughing causing Pamela to look at him like he's crazy)
She turn to Tyrian and Cinder "When your fully recovered I want you two to track the Spring Maiden down understood?"
The two mentioned nodded tho Tyrian's was more eager with a manic grin and his metal stinger wagging like a dog's tail
The dark mistress attention focused onto Hazel "I want you to go and negotiate with Adam Taurus, Watts says he killed the White Fang's previous leader Seinna Khan and that he's in power now that he runs the Fang having him on our side automatically has the Fang on our side" She then shrugged "That's a good amount if disposable pawn fighting for an admittedly admirable goal with a heavily flawed outlook"
The behemoth of a man nodded.
Salem then focused on Watts "I want you to get information on this...Acnologia I want relatives, birthdate, close friends anything understood?"
The mad scientist replied"It will be done my mistress" he promised.
Salem nodded satisfied then got up from her seat "That is all meeting adjourned"
She watched all of her minions get up and walk off to fulfill their given task she then walked toward one of the windows and stared outside it at the wasteland she couldn't help but reply the message the dragon sent her through the scorpion Faunus.
"Acnologia the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse is here"
Those words replayed in here head and everytime she feels an ice cold chill up her spine 'I'm so close to seeing everything he loves and this world shatter I will not let this new player ruin this I'll destroy him just like all the others before that dared to oppose me' her blood red eyes glowed as the screen cut to black
With Acnologia
Currently the Black Dragon was training Pamela in hand to hand combat
"Back straight,widen your stance a bit now sometimes if you want maximum damage without causing harm to yourself if you ever want to hit your enemy in the nose or face use your palm, like this" he instructed demonstrating while he talked
It's currently night Jaune decided it would be perfect to train her now that he gave her time to adjust her body to her Aura
Flashback
"For it is within danger that we overcome all fear and fuel our hearts with hope now march forward and protect thee"
Pamela's brown eyes widen as a powerful surge of energy overtook her body. If she had to describe it would be like being wrapped up in a warm blanket.
"There i've unlocked your Aura" he then gave the faunus a grin "I must say you have an exceptional amount brat almost as much as mine when I got my Aura unlocked"
End flashback
Pamela was glad to have Aura it healed the wounds she had gotten from training with the Black Dragon.He wasn't joking when he said training was going to be hell.
She glared at her teacher who was standing a few feet away from her
The Faunus let out a battle cry charging towards the former king who stood still with a nutreul expression with her fist cocked
It never landed unfortunately Jaune caught the fist and proceeded to judo flipped her hard on the ground.she lost the breath in her lungs with how hard the impact was.
She got up on her knees and coughed struggling to breath.
Jaune rushed over and patted her back a few times to help. After she regained her breath she got up and looked to the frowning Dragon
"Don't just rush in have a plan and don't make your attack so obvious" he simply said before going back to his position
The fox faunus signed he'd been like this all day since learning of Beacon's destruction, The White Fang attack, A student losing her arm and some red riding hood girl that used to be in a short coma.
Flashback
The Faunus was curious as to why her new teacher was going to Haven 'Did. he teach there or was he a close friend of the Headmaster' she didn't want to pry but her curiousity got the better of her.
"Umm Sensei may I ask why you're going to Haven?" She asked slowly and as innocently as possible
The former knight waved her off "Oh i'm just going to see some friends, although I do wander why they're not at Beacon." he hummed he still wondered about their journey to Haven can't they just have gotten bullhead? He had to suppress a shudder at the mention of the metal monstrosity. He always did suffer with air sickness when he was Jaune Arc, but now after being a dragonslayer they suffer with motion sickness even if it mean spinning around too much.
He inwardly groaned 'who would win in a fight an all powerful dragon who can destroy countries in one move or any moving vehicle' he hoped that becoming a dragon with all the years under his belt built up some kind of immunity towards the motion sickness.
He was pulled out of his inner complaints when he heard Pamela say something that filled him with dread.
"Wasn't Beacon destroyed?" She asked confused
That was all it took
The Faunus tilted her head when she saw Acnologia's whole form freeze then his body seem blurred and just like that he was right in front of her picking her up by the shoulder and leveled her eyes with his
"What. Do. You . Mean . Destroyed!" He all but screamed his Aura and Magic flaring wildly that seemed seemed to increase the weight of the surrounding area by a thousand.
Needless to say Pamela was utterly terrified "I-I saw o-on the news that Beacon w-was attacked b-b-by the White Fang some woman killed the H-headmaster and some blonde haired girl lost her arm to A-Adam Taurus and a girl that l-l-looks like little red riding hood was in a coma for a while but Beacon was destroyed at the end!" she quickly sputtered out as if her answer was the deciding factor if she lived or died.
Jaune saw the fear in her eyes he closed his own and took a deep breathe to calm himself the overwhelming Aura receded back into his body. Then he gently put down the girl, turned away and began walking but not without muttering a quick apology.
End Flashback
Pamela was brought out of her when she heard her teacher.
"Oi! Brat come over here" he ordered
The ginger scrambled to her feet and over to Acnologia. But he was holding some glowing orb in his hand
"Brat now that your Aura's unlocked i'm gonna move onto your other training...your Dragonslayer training" he declared
She tilted her head "What's a Dragonslayer?" It was a good question
The now bluenette sighed "It's magic" he said bluntly no need to beat around the bush with this.
The Faunus frowned "But magic doesn't exist" she argued
Now Jaune had a feeling this was coming he was quick to declare Pamela his Dragonslayer but he needed to know if Remnant produced Ethernano or something at least similar to it in order for her to actually use his magic.
Unlike her he was a Dragon now and therefore can naturally produce Etherion or eating normal food it converts to magic even sleeping relishes it.
So on the first night while the Faunus was asleep he got to experimenting mostly trying to absorb the air particles for any signs of magic and suprisingly it worked. There was something that Remnant produced that was similar to Ethernano particles. When he ate it was tasted almost akin to it but different but that left him a question.
If Remnant produced something akin to Ethernano then why hasn't someone discover magic or use it yet?
Fortunately he did have a few theories the most common being that the knowledge of magic was possibly lost in time. It was likely after all the discovery of dust they became less dependent on magic but that can't be the case because they would still use the destructive properties of magic to teach their armies and it should still be common knowledge.
Shaking his head out of the thought he spoken to Pamela "It does exist you remember when my hands were covered in blue flames while fighting that Paladin?" He asked and got a nod "Well that wasn't a semblance that was my magic specifically Dragonslayer magic a magic used to kill Dragons" he declared gaining gasp from the girl "I can use it i can also teach it to you the magic i'm about to give you is an extremely rare type i'm not just going to teach you any type of magic i'm going to teach you my magic" his lips curled into a toothy grin "My magic is the strongest in existence not only if you accept it will you have my magic but I will teach you to use it and be the strongest being on Remnant maybe even stronger than myself" his chest puffed out and he put the orb closer to the girl "Well? Do you accept my gift?"
The girl looked at the orb her heart pounding like drums this was it the next step not only will she have a semblance but also magic and as her teacher said the strongest magic it was too good to pass up.
Her eyes hardened as she met the Dragons eyes "Yes"
His grin widened and began to slowly push the orb into the girls chest "Be warned this is gonna hurt like hell"he warned
She was about to ask what he meant by that when suddenly her world exploded in pain as Acno shoved the entire orb in her chest in one move
She screamed to the high heavens as blue energy erupted from her body as a pillar of power surged toward the sky the roaring of a primal beast could be heard for miles.
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she began to fall forward unconscious
Acnologia quickly intercepted the girl catching her before she hit the ground
He looked at her unconscious form with a wide grin 'That was a massive amount of energy she released, this kid's gonna go far alright' his grin turned predatory 'I can't wait till she grows old enough to challenge me'
The next morning
Pamela got up with throbbing migraine with a groan she sat herself upright she looked around and saw that it was the mourning.
She didn't know why but she felt so much energy, so much vigor she felt like she could take on the world
"About time you woke up brat" an all to familiar voice said
She turned to see her teacher Acnologia looking at her he had in his hands a plate with eggs, beacon and bread and a mug of herbal tea that Boris had packed.
He handed her the plate of food and cup which she thanked him for and she began to enjoy her meal.
But something was wrong her hearing was sharper than usual she could hear a frog croaking deep within the forest.
that was strange
The same for her sight she looked around she could see every small insect crawling on the trees over 30 feet away.
Something was definitely wrong
She finally finished eating her meal and went drink the tea from the cup
Only to almost drop it by what she saw in the reflection. Her eyes widened as she got a good look at herself
Her eyes looked sharper brighter even,she had scale-like skin under her eyes.She looked around her body to see that it was on her arms as well,her finger nails were sharper claw like.
"You like your new look" Jaune mused finishing his own plate of food
She looked at him scared "W-what h-h-happened to me?" What did this man do to her.
"Relax this happens when you pass down Dragonslayer magic onto another person"he waved off "it sharpens their senses greatly and gives you dragon lungs for breath attacks, Dragon Scales to become resistant to magic and Dragon claws to attack with magic" the former king explained.
The newly dubbed Dragonslayer gaped at the information.
She chugged down her tea and jumped up from log she was sitting on
"Well what are we waiting for sensei let's test out my new magic!" She yelled ecstatic to try out her new abilities
Acno chuckled at his Dragonslayer's antics and put his plate down "Oh Alright I suppose i can teach you sonething" he then frowned "I'm only gonna teach you this one thing we have to get a move on I can teach you more tonight"
The Faunus nodded vigorously tail wagging with excitement.
He stood beside her and point out his right index finger towards a tree "I want you to picture that your finger is a gun" he instructed
Pamela copied her teacher's motions "Now take a deep breath" she did "Picture energy coursing through focus that energy at the tip of you finger annnnddd fire!" His tip of his finger produced a blue orb the size of a baseball that shot of like a lazer obliterating not just the tree he aimed for but almost a dozen other trees in it's path "That was an Ether blast" he said smugly putting his hand to his side
She gaped at the display of power
"Now you go" he he instructed
She looked nervous at first but her face hardened as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath once more and pictured the energy flowing into her finger a small blue orb produced from the tip of her finger and shot off like a bullet towards another tree and left a gaping hole in the middle of it
She opened her eyes and squealed at the results she did it sure it was way weaker than Acnologia's but she still did it.
The former knight gave a proud smile "heh nice one brat, tell you what later i'll teach you how to use a breath attack ok?"
She nodded excitedly she couldn't wait to learn more from her new teacher 'Maybe this won't be so bad after all'
Time skip to the Afternoon
It would be dark soon and it was time to set up camp.
"Oi! Brat get some wood for the fie while I lay down the sleeping bags" the Dragon instructed
"Hai Sensei!" She saluted and walked off to do what she was told
After 10 minutes of collecting some logs she turned to go back to camp happily she couldn't wait. Sensei promised another lesson tonight!
*Shriek*
An ugly banshee-like wail forced her to cover her two pair of ears dropping the fire wood to the floor 'Damnit my ears are more sensitive now which means loud noises hurt more'
Looking to the area the shriek came from and focused her hearing she could hear the clashing of metal and pained grunting coming from the east
'I should tell Sensei' she said internally before stopping 'But what if they die before he gets there' she stood there for a few seconds contemplating a choice but she then heard a pained scream coming from the direction.
Making up her mind the young Dragonslayer sprinted into the direction if the commotion
After a few seconds of sprinting she burst into a clearing and her eyes widened at the site of destroyed homes like a wasteland
The Faunus grimaced 'Kuroyuri' she knew this city Boris told her about a Grimm that invaded the city and tore it apart extremely easily.
"WAAAHH!" Something or more specifically someone crashed onto the ground near her and emitted a groan of pain
The person was a female no older than 16 her hair was short grown to her neck,black at the roots to red at the tips. She wore a white high-neck décolletage blouse with brown studded wristbands on the arms. She a black skirt with red tulle underneath, an overbust corset with red strip holding it in place.
She had two weapons one on the ground beside her and the other attach to her waist
The first was a large mechanical Scythe
The other looked liked a plain sword in a sheeth
The young fox quickly ran and hid behind oneof the ruined buildings
"Ruby!" Another voice called out she turned to see a woman that looked like a real life spartan
She wore a brown overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally, the young woman wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt.
There was a small circular bronze plate on her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bore herUnderneath her hair, she always wore a brown circlet adorned with a pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm.
She had elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. She was also equipped with a bronze bracer. Her high-heeled boots were brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves and reaching up to mid-calf.
Pamela gasped recognizing the girl immediately 'Pyrrha Nikos' she always looked up to her for how strong she was.
She had to other people next to her and they were fighting a bug Grimm
Another girl and a boy
The young man was snarling in anger
He had a long, sleeveless tailcoat with black and silver trimming. Under it, he wore a black, sleeveless turtleneck with red, tasseled ropes over the hips, pants that get tighter below the knees and calf-high open-toed sandals. From his middle finger to his biceps run gradient pink-to-black detached sleeves ending in metal armbands.
The last young woman had shoulder-length hair, she wore gloves and a white sleeveless turtleneck top a heart cut-out on the top has a diagonal cut through it. She also wore a short,white sleeve on her left arm. Over the shirt, she wore a open cropped, short-sleeved navy blue bomber jacket with a damaged print of her emblem visible on the back and pink stripes along the sleeves alongside pink buckled cuffs. and red lining on the collar. She had a pleated pink skirt with two wide belt loops for matching belt, the skirt has a white layered tulle and a knee-high pink socks just visible above her white calf-length boots with pink laces and black low heels, soles and toes.
Her face paled when she saw the Grimm monstrosity
It was a horse-like creature with an equine main body and a skinless humanoid creature that was fused with it. Its forelegs were shaped like claws and it had hooved hind legs that left a characteristic hoofprint. The humanoid body had long curved horns on its head, a mouth that looked almost sewn shut, and two long elastic arms each with two clawed fingers. On the back of the human torso were boney spikes along its spine and a variety of weapons from previous battles stuck in it.
A Nuckelavee
The Red huntress that crashed on the ground was unconscious
The group of huntsman were losing...badly
The raven haired boy charged the beast with an enraged roar only to be back handed into a nearby building.
Nikos and the ginger yelled in worry for their comrade
The champion unloaded a barrage of dust rounds at the imp body.
Unfortunately the abomination blocked them with both of its arms
It then let go another deafening roar resulting in Pamela and the two girls to cover their ears in pain.The grimm took this opportunity to butt the redhead with it's horse head
The ginger girl let out a weird battle cry and tried to smash the grimm from behind.
The monster however saw it coming and and used it's hind legs to kick her away most likely unconscious if the sickening crack had anything to say about it maybe some broken ribs.
The grimm horse huffed as the imp roared in victory. It then made it's way toward the caped girl planning to end her life
Pamela's body stiffened when it started getting closer to the girl her kind raced 'It's gonna kill her!' She needed to do some thing
But what can she do she just got her magic this morning and unlocked her Aura two days ago. Hell she can only do one thing and that's the Ether blast.
She looked back at the Grimm it's massive frame looming over the defenceless girl.
The young slayer's hands clenched into fists as she made up her mind.
She ran out of her cover and pointed her left index finger at the Grimm "Hey ugly over here!"
The Nuckelavee turned around but roared in pain as an Ether blast peirce its right shoulder leaving a gaping hole in it.
Enraged it charged at the Faunus and tried to hit the girl with it's elastic-like arm.
Pamela barley had time to dodge it. Rolling out of it's way got up and fired another Ether blast at the horse's side.
It was getting angrier this time it charged once more
Pamela didn't know a lot about the creatures of Grimm so she was sure that it would swing it's arms again
She was half right
Instead it waited for the Faunus to roll away then back handed her across the ruined city's ground.
It didn't stop as Pamela moaned in pure pain the horse used it's front legs to kick her stomach sending her flying once more
She coughed up some blood as her Aura attempted to heal her but was already low 'Damnit I thought my Aura would last longer...but then again I just got it unlocked so i guess it makes sense'she gritted her teeth as she got up
The Grimm glared at the girl before charging her once more
Thinking fast she shot an Ether blast at the horse monster's front knee destroying it and causing it to trip over itself.
She smirked in victory
But it was short lived the imp's elastic arm stretched to unbelievable proportions and hit her
She tried to block it but her Aura gave way and was sent tumbling to the ground.
She was going to die of that she was certain her left arm was now dislocated as she laid on the ground tears brimming in her eyes as the beast limped towards her
'I'm sorry sensei' she let her teacher down the only one who had believed in her. She closed her eyes and waited for death
'What are you doing stand up!' A voice yelled in the back of her head
The Faunus's eyes snapped opened"W-what?" Did she hear that right?
'I said stand up and fight are you just going to lay down and die like a worm!' The voice roared once more
"B-but my Aura's gone how will I-
The voice cut her off 'You still have magic don't you stand up and fight or are you going to cry like at the orphanage!'
The tears fell from her eyes
'You haven't changed all you can do it cry and give up Sensei was wrong to teach you!'
The mentioned made her snarl 'SHUT UP!'
'That's it! Use your anger stand up and face your enemy'
Play Fairy Tail OST- Dragonslayer
Pamela slowly got up her eyes covered by her hair
The Nuckelavee was getting closer it was time to end this fight
She did what her instincts told her to do
She took a deep breath
'Feel the energy course through you it belongs to you and you alone'
Wisps of blue energy entered and gathered in her mouth as her cheeks puffed out to an abnormal degree
'Now scream it at the top of your lungs let the Heaven's here you, shake the very foundation of the earth with your power and crush your enemy under you heel like the insect it is!'
"Arcane Dragons Roooaaaarrr!!!" A massive beam of blue energy shot from her mouth the faint roaring of dragons within and encased the Grimm which roared in pain. The beam didn't stop it destroyed everything within a kilometer.
The Faunus panted for breath as the dust cleared she saw the full extent of her work the Nuckelavee was gone, obliterated
A path of absolute destruction in it's place
She smiled as her conciousness was fading fast "Thank goodness I...did it" she closed her eyes and fell back
But a pair of arms caught her. It was Acnologia who bore an incredibly proud smile "Yes you did, I saw the whole thing you know" He took one last look at the destruction his Dragonslayer wrought"You did good brat you did good"
He looked around at the other unconscious bodies and sighed "I didn't want the reunion to be like this but it will have to do"
Just another day in the life of Jaune Arc
And that's chapter 6 y'all I worked really hard to try and make it longer I hoped you all liked it.
