It's been a few days. Alfred has been all over the town. Through alleyways completely filled with the kinds of people who would normally be avoided. He didn't care. He was already walking still. Every night was sleepless since he normally doesn't sleep. He kept walking, No general direction as he was lost in thought. He saw some familiar faces, Didn't bother saying Hi as Blake attempted to stop him. He attempted to ignore her plea until Sun stopped him.
"Listen, I'd rather not get involved with whatever your planning. I don't care." Alfred Replied in annoyance. Knowing that whatever they're up too probably isn't that worth it. Not in his eyes.
"But we need your help. I know you don't like people but we really need you." Blake pleaded. Knowing what this guy is capable of from what Yang told her and that day in the cafeteria when he confronted Cardin.
"Like I said. I don't give a shit. Go bother someone else with whatever Bullshit your up too." Alfred replied as he went to walk away before Sun pushed him. Earning him a growl. Sun was a bit intimidated by it but thought he had him figure it out.
"You're a faunus aren't you.." Sun said, Making Alfred sigh in defeat. "I wish I was. I'll think about it. Just tell me the location and you'll know if I made my mind or not."
Blake started "It's at the docks-" Before Alfred interrupted her by shoving Sun out of his way. Continuing his walk. Not confirming he'll be there or not. Making it not likely he'll even help them... In their eyes that is.
Alfred continued his walk, Almost entering the club at some point standing outside. Making the bouncer sweat bullets as he just tries to play cool. Even some of the guests that wait outside are nervous at his presense. Alfred just turned and walked away. Making up his mind. At least maybe preventing whatever is gonna happen at the docks. He knows Blake seemed passionate about it. Maybe it's because she wants to stop racsim or whatever bullshit. But he felt like he needed to try to do something. Because even though he carries a curse. He did get a new life, A second chance, May as well make the most of it.
He walked to the docks. Seeing things already going sideways for Blake and Sun as they are Already outnumbered by what appears to be the White Fang he's heard about. He wasn't a big fan for their cause. Mainly because it was a blind attempt to end something that can never truly end in his eyes. Anyway It was time for him to attempt to make sure this ends peacefully.
Alfred cleared his throat loudly to get everyone's attention. It worked as all eyes were now on him. "I'm not even gonna fucking ask what the hell is going on here." He said as he walked into them. Several White Fang members had their guns pointed at him as well as Blake and Sun.
"What's going is that I found a few Business Accomplances to help me out in my endeavors." Roman replied as he approached Alfred. "How did I know you were involved. Leading a bunch of blind mice into something that's clearly not gonna get them any favors in their effort."
"And how, Please tell, Do you know that." Roman taunted as he placed his Cane in front of him.
"Because I know for a fucking fact that Terrorism makes shit worse when it comes to bullshit like racism. If you ask me. It'll never truly end. It'll always exist no matter what you fucking do. You act a little nice. People will hate you. You act like pricks, People will hate you. It's a never ending cycle of one thing after another." Alfred replied as some of the members of the White Fang lowered their weapons slightly.
"Well. That may be what you think. But I see a different way. Us humans are trash. Sometimes we need to be taught a lesson in what's right. Ending this cycle once and for all." Roman said as he pointed the cane at Alfred.
"Shoot me. It'll be the biggest mistake of you're life." Alfred replied as he walked closer to Roman. Standing at the cane's end.
"I see it as removing a thorn from my side." Roman replied as he pulled the trigger on Alfred. Sending him flying into across the docks and crashing into a container. He was heavily burned by it and in clear pain. But doing what he can to prevent it. Not wanting to give up the fight within him as they were all fighting. He eventually got up. Still resisting as his body was rapidly healing. He looked up to they were fighting each other. With Blake and Sun trying their best to protect him as he noticed a white fang member pointing a rifle in his direction. He knew he lost... So he gave in to the beast and collapsed.
Seconds later. Claws started forming out of his fingers as his teeth became sharper,His body growing in size beyond his 6'8 frame, his skin shedded off, revealing moldy green scales, his clothes began to tear as his feet became longer and more dragon like, His eyes were clenched shut this whole process. But they burst open a lizard like yellow as his jaws were being extended to that of a lizard, His tail bone growing out forming an actual tail. He stood up but it was no longer Alfred, Now standing at 9'5 His clothes practically fell off his body as they were now shreds. The White fang were the first to notice as they froze in fear. Causing Blake and Sun to turn around in fright, The one they were protecting was no longer there. But a giant Dragon of sorts as he surveyed the situation.
"A-A-Alfred." Blake stuttered in fear. THe beast glanced in her direction as it let out a mighty roar. Similar to that of a dragon before charging at all of them. Blake and Sun barely got out the way as He lunged at them. The white fang got over the initial shock as they opened fire on the new target. The bullets had no affect however as the bounced off his skin as he started charging at them. Grabbing one of them who wasn't able to move away in time. His grip was so strong it snapped his neck immediately. The white fang faunus was now limp as he was tossed aside as the beast charged at another member. It didn't take long for it to reach them. Grabbing them with his large hand as it crushed his ribs. The faunus pleading for help as he was now looking death in the eyes... This thing was not human. Not in the slightest sense of the word as the beast bit his head clean off before dropping the headless corpse and spitting out the head. It's goal was simple to everyone there at this point. KILL EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
"Why can't I ever get any good men to do things right around... here" Roman said as he now saw the beast. The beast looked over in his direction and gave him a deathly glare as it started to turn towards him. Roman reacted by shooting at the beast with his Cane. It did nothing but piss it off as growled loudly at him. White fang members shot at it with Rifles. Saving Roman in time as it was now distracted by them. It charged at them at a frightening speed as it closed the gap in seconds. Slashing one of them in 2 with his claws alone. Backhanding another across the docks and into the ocean. The last remaining members were frozen in fear as the beast slowly approached them. taking it's time it seems as the beast had it's prey right where it wanted it, helpless.
Blake then appeared as she kicked the beast off course. Making it stumble a bit. But more so, pissing it off. The beast looked at her with fury in it's eyes as it charged at her. As the beast reached her. It slashed at her with it's claws only for the body to disappear. This confused him slightly as Sun came in and started shooting at with Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, getting the beast's attention as the shots had no affect. The beast quickly closing the distance as Sun summoned his semblance to keep it distracted as it was now slashing and biting at them. The beast took them out quickly as it's attention returned to Sun. It was about to charge at them only for a flury of swords to send it flying. Penny then flew in as she was now combat ready alongside Ruby.
"What is that thing?!" RUby asked in surprise.
"That thing... Was Alfred." Blake replied as she appeared along side Ruby, Penny, and Sun.
The beast recovered from this attack. More pissed than ever as it got up quickly and started charging. Ruby and the others split up. With Penny taking his left flank and Blake taking his right. The beast snarled as Blake used Gambol Shroud to provide cover for Penny as she was getting ready for her beam attack. The strategy worked a little too well as it was no Chasing Blake. Not letting her semblance distract it from it's main goal. Ruby barely intercepted as she slashed at it with Crescent Rose. The beast got up and was about to strike at Ruby before it froze in shock. Sun found the remains of Alfred's clothes as Penny got her beam ready and was now looking for her target. Sun as he got into position at what remains of Alfred's clothing and noticed what appears to be a small pendant.
The beast reached out it's hand towards Ruby but before it could do anything. Penny shot her beam attack at it Knocking it out cold. Forcing it to slowly turn back into Alfred.
Yang and Weiss got there. Weiss explaining to Blake that she doesn't care if she's a faunus or not. Before that. Penny ran off suddenly with no explanation. Before sun shouted out to them. Telling everyone that he found something. He showed them the Pendant he found. He opened the pendant and revealed a small painting of a little girl. Blonde Hair and Brown eyes, But what caught everyone's attention. Was that the little girl. Looked like Ruby.
This was definitely one of the hardest chapters I ever wrote. I didn't want to mess up anything. I know it should've been done and released last week but... CHristmas and stuff. Can't exactly ignore that. Anyway Hope you enjoyed. Next week. Hopefully. Ferrets first tag battle.
