Finally, after a month or so, chapter 19 is here, I know that you're upset, but you will know in the end. Anyways here it is.

Chapter 19: Punished

On a path through the woods, Team RNJR and Ben were moving forward with Ruby looking at a map. "Come on, guys! If we pick up the pace, we can hit the next town before sunset!"

"Assuming it's still there," Jaune commented

"Of course it'll be there. This one's supposed to be pretty big! Hee-gan...bayn-a." Ruby defended and struggled to say the name of the village

"Higanbana. It's a well-protected village with a popular inn." Ren stated.

"Which means, no camping in the rain!"

"See? Everything's going to be fine!"

Ben doesn't seem to agree with Ruby's comment about 'everything is fine' if he knew his luck "Nope, this means something will happen, I'm just sure."

Jaune sighed. "Me too. You know, we've had a lot of ups and downs. But things could be a lot worse. I really thought we'd see more Grimm".

"As did I."

"I guess our luck is finally turning around! To Higanbana!"

"To Higanbana!"

"To Higanban... ban-a!"

The scene changes to Team RNJR being viewed from above, a rocky outcropping just on the edge of the view.

A Beowolf stomps into view and growls at the four kids. Just as it is about to leap, it is stabbed through by Qrow. Three disintegrating bodies of other Beowolves are just behind him. A black raven caws from a tree branch on eye level with Qrow, catching his attention. He looks at it and it flies off, following RNJR.

Qrow scoffing. "Luck."

...

It's raining in the village of Higanbana. Through the window of an inn, the four kids are shown silently discussing with the proprietor. A backward zoom brings the visual out into the street, and through yet another window being viewed from the inside of a tavern. Qrow sits at a table, watching.

A waitress sets a glass with liquor and ice in front of him. Qrow confused by this as he didn't ask for a drink. "Oh, I didn't o—" "From the woman upstairs. Red eyes. Said you wouldn't mind bottom shelf." The Waitress interrupted him.

Qrow turns and looks up. An overhead shot shows the spacious lower level of the tavern and its several round tables, while the edge of a balcony is just visible. Qrow turns back. "Thanks."

"But I went ahead and gave you top. Lucky you." Waitress flirting and winking at Qrow. With a pleased smirk, Qrow watches the waitress as she walks away. After she is gone, he looks through the two windows to see no one visible in the lobby of the inn. "Yeah." He takes his glass and heads upstairs. Raven Branwen waits for him at one of the tables, her mask atop it.

"Hello, brother." Raven welcomed the Bad Luck Charm. Qrow stares at her from the top of the stairs for a moment before moving to her.

"Raven."

He pulls the chair that's beside her and drags it to a position across from her instead. With his hand on the back of the chair, he simply looks at her expectantly. Raven rolls her eyes and moves her mask to the side. Qrow sits down and began his chat. "So, what do you want?" Qrow asked. "A girl can't just catch up with her family?" Raven answered.

"She can, but you're not. Now how 'bout we get on with it?" He drinks a little from the glass. "Unless you plan on keeping these comin'," Qrow said setting the glass down.

"Does she have it?"

Qrow doesn't answer right away, instead of running his fingertip along the edge of his glass."Did you know Yang lost her arm?" Qrow asked.

"That's not—" "Rhetorical question, I know you know. It's just obnoxious that you'd bring up the family and then carry on like your own daughter doesn't exist." Qrow interrupted Raven with more teasing before she continues.

"I saved her," Raven said trying to defend herself.

Qrow raises a finger. "Once. Because that was your rule, right? Real "Mom of the Year" material, sis."

Raven leans forward and grabs Qrow by the forearm, stilling his sarcastic, nonchalant motions. The view slowly spins above their heads as she speaks intently to him. "I told you Beacon would fall and it did. I told you Ozpin would fail and he has. Now you tell me. Does. Salem. Have it?"

Qrow raised an eyebrow. "I thought you weren't interested in all of that."

"I just want to know what we are up against," Raven said with a serious tone.

"And which "we" are you referring to?" Qrow asked.

Raven glares and finally lets go of her brother and sits back down with a noise of disgust. "You should come back, Raven. The only way we'd beat her is by working together. All of us."

"You're the one who left. The tribe raised us, and you turned your back on them."

Qrow finished his glass. "They were killers and thieves." Raven getting angrier. "They were your family," Raven said trying to defend her tribe.

"You have a very skewed perception of that word," Qrow said teasing Raven. Until, Raven stood up, upset from him.

Raven puts a hand on her chest. "I lead our people now. And as a leader, I will do everything in my power to ensure our survival."

"Like what you did for the people of Shion?" Qrow commented

"The weak die, the strong live. Those are the rules."

"Well, you've certainly got someone strong on your side. I've seen the damage."

Raven turned away "We couldn't have known the Grimm would set in as quickly as they did."

"I'm not talking about the Grimm," Qrow said to Raven that Still not facing Qrow, Raven looks up, eyes widening slightly at his words. "And I'm not talking about you, either."

"If you don't know where the Relic is, then we have nothing left to talk about." As she reaches for her mask, Qrow grabs onto the top of it. "I don't know where the Spring Maiden is, either, but if you do, I need you to tell me."

"And why would I do that?" She asked pulling her mask out of Qrow's grasp.

"Because without her, we're all going to die," Qrow answered.

A moment of tense silence passes between them as a nearby lantern dies out. Raven scoffing at Qrow's answer. "And which "we" are you referring to? Besides you got a boy who wields a powerful watch that turned him into monsters or aliens as I heard from him, he might be the chance or the hope to beat Salem and I don't know what is he capable of after he suplex the Wyvern. Which why I see Ozpin used him as his ultimate weapon to beat Salem." She puts on her mask. "But again, I don't know if he knows how powerful Salem is but when the day I watch him fight Salem 'One on One' i will watch what is Tennyson really made of."

Qrow grimaces as Raven walks away. The sound of her sword getting unsheathed is heard and he looks up, unhappy. Raven walks into her red portal and disappears. There's the sound of breaking glass and a gasp. Qrow turns to see the waitress, trembling at the sight of Raven disappearing. She takes a cautious step backward as she looks sideways at Qrow.

Qrow gesturing to his glass. "Make this one a double."

...

Meanwhile at the inn, RNJR and Ben finally arrived to rest until the rain stops. Now, the five put their packages and sat on the beds.

Ruby yawned after a long trip. "Man! I can't believe we made this far of Mistral, we're getting close to Haven more and more. I hope so." The Red Reaper said.

Jaune took his armor off. "Yeah. Along the way, we did a lot of helping and fighting new Grimm plus we knew more about Anima's wildlife which is considered a bonus."

Nora however was jumping on her bed. "Luck seems to help us along the way, no very dangerous situations, most of the time was Grimm and Grimm and more Grimm."

Ben on the other hand doesn't feel right. "I don't know. The universe really likes to throw his worst on us every time someone or things feels right." Ben said because if he knows his luck, things can go bad to shit when things calm down, he was about to continue his point by telling stories but the universe says no as a blue light came in the room. "That's right Young Benjamin, you began to keep up with it." a familiar British voice came from the source of the light.

When the light came down a Prof. Paradox came out, JNR got their weapon and pointed to Paradox but Ben and Ruby stopped them. "Wow, guys calm down! That's Professor Paradox." Ben said trying to stop his teammates.

JNR lowered their weapons. "So, this is Paradox who came to you at Beacon and told Ben about he's a clone?" Ren asked which Ben and Ruby nodded.

Nora went to check out the time walker. "Huh. You're right when you described him but he doesn't seem old to me."

"Indeed Young Nora Valkyrie, I'm sorry for this sudden visit, I'm a busy man when it comes to protecting the timestream and the multiverse." Paradox said.

JNR got surprised that Paradox knows about Nora's name. Jaune raised his hand. "Wait! How do you-" "Well, I knew your names since the day I met you, or the day I will meet you" Paradox interrupted Jaune before he continues which took JNR's attention.

"Yeah. He does this stuff, you will get used to it once you go out with him." Ben shrugged his shoulder. "Anyway, Okay Paradox, what's with the sudden visit, i know that you didn't visit to drink some tea or tell us any stories, right."

"Indeed, Young Benjamin, I won't last too long because of how busy I'm, the thing is I came to warn you about the future outcomes." Paradox answered.

Ben sighed and RNJR began to worry from the word 'Future Outcomes'. "Just get with the warning, please."

Paradox smiled. "Well, the challenges in the future will become harder and more unpredictable, the hidden evil will rise slowly to put you down and everyone on their knees, but a lost soul will come to help you and guide you with these challenges, and finally the past of someone you know will come back to continue what he started to finish it once and for all, just remember that this is just the beginning of serious events of danger in the future, the way this world work will change everything. So, knowledge will be your best partner. That's it."

The five teens lost from what Paradox said 'Hidden evil, lost soul, knowledge is the best partner' all of it is confusing, it was a moment of dead silence until someone had to break it. "Say what now?" Nora asked confused.

"Yeah. It's his way to work, he won't spoil everything on us." Ben said rubbing his neck.

Paradox wants to make jokes but the time of course won't give him. "I wanted to stay more but the multiverse needs me to finish some jobs, just remember kids it won't be my last. See you later." With that, he puts his googles and gone in a flashlight.

The group know confused by the warning but it has to be important. "So, care to explain or doing something else," Ruby asked to break the silence.

...

The next day came and the group continued their long journey to Haven followed by Qrow who stayed in the bar next to the inn.

The waitress was cleaning the floor until. "Excuse me!" The Waitress glared up to be Tyrian standing in front of her licking his lips. "I was hoping you could... help me find someone," Tyrian said as he starts to laugh maniacally.

...

It is a cloudy day, and RNJR is following a mossy stone tile path through the wilderness. While walking, Nora Valkyrie stretches her arms up wide. "Another day, another adventure!" Nora said.

Beside her, Jaune Arc reads a map while Ruby Rose and Lie Ren continue alongside them. "What's on the agenda today?" Ruby asked.

"Walking!" Jaune simply answered.

"With a side of...?"

"Walking."

Ruby sighed. "Haven is a lot farther away than I thought."

Ben approached Ruby. "How long did you think this journey was going to take?"

"I don't know! I grew up in a small area; I've never been this far away from home! Also, you refused to turn into one of the aliens to reach faster!" Ruby answered and complained about Ben's stubbornness.

"I want to discover things without the need of the Omnitrix because (A) People won't panic when they see my aliens, (B) If the Omnitrix timed out in the middle of a fight, it will be a big problem depends on the situation, (C) I want to learn more about the nature of Remnant." Ben simply answered.

Ruby crossed her arms. "Gahh. I think you're right, just it would have been better."

"Right but... how long?" Jaune asked without leaving his sight from the map.

Ruby puts her finger to think. "Maybe like, uh... two weeks?"

Jaune looked up from the map to glare at her. "What?!"

"Okay, fine! Three or something!" She said not making eye contact. "Look, whatever." Ruby looks up again after a beat and notices something ahead. "Hey, what's that?"

Nora jumps onto a slightly fallen post of a fence to get a closer look at a wall and building ahead.

Jaune became confused. "That's... strange." He is checking the map to see any sign of the city "I didn't think we'd be hitting another village for a few days."

Nora was checking the city until she noticed the building. "Are those buildings... damaged?"

"We should search for survivors!" Jaune said dropping the map and all five go running into the village, with Nora leaping onto the wall and to a rooftop from there. They discover the town to be empty. Ruby lifts a fallen plank of wood to find only plant outgrowth underneath.

"Anything?" Ruby asked the others

"Nothing over here!"

"No one over here, either!"

"It almost seems like... the town was abandoned."

"The city looks like a ghost city."

Ruby looks around while the others go offscreen, feeling unease in the wind. "Hey, I think I found something!" Ruby turns to be Nora and rushes over. RNJR and Ben are looking at a town sign. Nora moves the ivy growing over it to the side to read what it says. "Oniyuri? Never heard of it."

"Me neither."

"I have."

The other four looked at him, with surprise on Nora and Ruby's faces.

"You might think of it as Anima's Mountain Glenn, had it never been completed. Years ago, the richest members of Mistral were unhappy with how the Kingdom was being run." As Ren speaks, there are wide shots showing the various unfinished buildings, disrepair, and neglect of the village. "Frustrated with the council, they pooled their resources together to build their own city, with their own laws. They hoped that one day, it could maybe even become its own Kingdom. Many thought it would be the future." Ren walks away from the other three. "I know my parents did."

"What happened?" The Red Reaper asked.

He brushes some dirt off of the stone border of a low wall to reveal claw marks. "What always happens." Ren simply answered

"The Grimm."

Ren tightens his hands into fists. "Not just any, one."

Ruby briefly faces Nora in confusion, but Nora doesn't move her concerned gaze away from Ren. Ruby turns back to him.

Ben crossed his arms. "So basically, we have a Grimm that's strong enough to destroy the village. Something tells me we might face him any moment." 'Is that what Paradox meant with the past is coming back or whatever he said yesterday? I feel like I have to keep my guard for the next days against that Grimm.'

Several small blackbirds take off from a tree outside Oniyuri's wall. They fly over the village and the five travelers. "Come on. Let's just get through here. This place gives me the creeps."Jaune said.

He turns and leaves, soon followed by Nora. Ren lingers for a moment for a few moments, seemingly in thought, then follows. Ruby is the last to move as she looks over the empty village. Leaves blow through behind her after she follows her friends.

...

As the five teens continue out of Oniyuri, Ren suddenly senses something. He puts out his hand to stop the other three, eyes closing as he focuses. Somewhere close by Tyrian Callows can be seen running. Ren draws his weapon. Ruby, Nora, and Jaune immediately follow suit. Ben prepared the Omnitrix. Tyrian soon leaps high over the wall to engage them in combat.

He immediately takes out his weapons in a seamless motion and laughing eagerly, moves to attack Ruby. Ren intervenes, StormFlower clashing with Tyrian's claw blades. Ren attempts to both kick and shoots Tyrian, but he dodges. The two have a couple more attacks and parries until Tyrian kicks Ren several feet away. Tyrian ran to Ben and caught his hand before he presses the Omnitrix and punched him in the guts and threw him with a kick.

Tyrian turns to go after Ruby again, who rushed forward with Crescent Rose to meet him. Tyrian uses his blades to block the scythe and kicks Ruby backward. She easily remains upright and they clash again. Tyrian manages to land a strike on Ruby's right arm, causing her to cry out at the pain and him to laugh. She's doesn't break stride however and leaps back to take a swing at him with her scythe. He dodges and then lands a moving blow against the body of Crescent Rose, causing a red shimmer to cross her Aura in the area of the strike.

Jaune steps in at that moment and Tyrian climbs onto his shield and grins at him. Nora rushes in with Magnhild, but Tyrian just leaps from Jaune's shield to her hammer and up through the top story of a narrow, rectangular building. Holding himself up with his feet on wooden frames to either side of him, Tyrian looks down at Team RNJR.

"We're not looking for a fight!" Jaune exclaimed.

"Who are you?" Ren asked

Tyrian leans forward, drops from the tower, does a front flip, and lands on his feet in front of them. "Who I am matters not to you." He points to Ren. "Or you." He points to Nora. "Or—" He cuts himself off and pauses. "Well... you do interest me." Pointing to Jaune which made him gasps nervously. "No, I only matter to you."

He points to Ruby and Ben, and the rest of RNJR turns to look at them. She tilts her head in confusion. "Us?" Ruby and Ben said.

Tyrian breaks down into laughter. "You, you haven't the slightest clue, do you? Oh, how exciting this must be." Tyrian stated.

"What do you want?" Ben asked

Tyrian begins acting dramatically in response to her tone of voice. "Oh, the rose has thorns! My little flower, I'm here to whisk you away with me! And give a little punishment to you, Benjamin."

"Well, what if she doesn't want to go with you?"

He stares for a moment with his lips scrunched up before answering. "Well, I'll take her."

Jaune walks over and stands between him and Ruby, his shield held in front of him. "We're not going to let you do that." Jaune defending.

Tyrian closes his eyes and inhales through his teeth. His eyes slowly open, and he happily growls a single word with a dark grin. "Good." Delighted that they're willing to fight, Tyrian moves fast to attack Jaune from behind.

"Jaune!" Ren deliberately shoots Jaune's shield so that the ricochet hits Tyrian. Tyrian covers his eyes with his arm and then cartwheels onto Jaune's shield, using his claw blades to spin in the air against it. Ruby steps in to face Tyrian on his descent, but he just kicks her to the side. She regains her ground by using Crescent Rose to steady herself. Jaune takes a swing with his sword at Tyrian, but he simply dodges and kicks him away as well.

Ben pressed the Omnitrix to become Spidermonkey and shoot a web from his tail, The Psycho caught it and pulled him, Spidermonkey used his legs to hit Tyrian but he blocked them. Soon, Spidermonkey used his upper hands to hit Tyrian, unfortunately, he caught them, Spidermonkey thought quickly and used his lower hands to hit Tyrian's guts, he succeeded and hit Tyrian uppercut and kicked him in the face making Tyrian back up, Spidermonkey charged but the Psycho used his queen servants and hit Spidermonkey and made a roundhouse kick to the face pushing Spidermonkey away.

His next move is to run toward Nora. From across the way, Ruby grins and shoots Nora with lightning Dust. It passes just over Tyrian's left shoulder, and he turns as he senses it. Nora gets knocked down when the bolt makes contact, dropping Magnhild in the process.

Mistaking the move for an error on Ruby's part, Tyrian gives Nora a baffled stare and laughs while Ren, Jaune, and Ruby simply watch and wait.

"Well, if that isn't ironic." The Psycho said sarcastically.

He senses something is up and loses his mirth. With a determined, satisfied grin, a now upright and supercharged Nora rushes Tyrian from behind, moving over his right shoulder and coming before him just in time to hit him with Magnhild. The blast from the contact has the other three covering their eyes from the backwash of dust and air, Jaune actually taking cover behind his shield.

The air clears to reveal a perfectly fine Tyrian in a crouch, using his now unveiled scorpion tail to block Magnhild. He giggles and curls his fingers at Nora. "Surprise." He kicks Nora twice in the face before leaping backward and upward onto a roof, leaving his coat behind.

As the teens are shocked by Tyrian's reveal. "He's... a Faunus," Ren said trying to process.

Ruby on the other hand stepped forward to understand. "What is this about? The White Fang? Roman Torchwick?" Ruby exclaimed.

Tyrian made some dramatic poses for the response. "Plastic soldiers and pawns. My heart and body belong only to our goddess!"

"Cinder..." Ruby said in a dark tone.

"Hmph, only in her wildest dreams. In case you don't know, Cinder is just an important piece for my goddess' big plan that she working on before you even born, kids."

Spidermonkey stopped for a second to understand. 'Wait! If Cinder as that creepy guy said is the important piece and worked for his goddess who is the mastermind and not Cinder! This planet has more than what he had.' Spidermonkey said in thought but cut down by Tyrian leaping back into the fray. He uses his tail to knock Crescent Rose down. Though surprised, Ruby doesn't lose her grip on it. The two both attack each other and miss until Tyrian kicks Ruby backward again.

Tyrian uses his tail to go after Ren before finally kicking him away and attacking Jaune next. He went quickly to Spidermonkey as Tyrian used his tail to hit Spidermonkey in the guts and face like a blur and kick him away, as ben landed the Omnitrix timed out.

A crow flies determinedly toward the fray while Tyrian kicks Jaune back and then Nora, and then Ren returns for more only to leap away again. Without missing a beat, Tyrian lets Ren be and goes after Ruby again. In quick succession, he delivers a right hook to her face and a left blow to her torso, causing red shimmers on her Aura on her head and chest respectively. He turns and swings his tail to knock her back into the air. She flies back several feet and he rushes forward to meet her before she lands. While Ruby's still midair, he kicks her right in the abdomen, causing a large red shimmer over her abdomen and hips.

The incoming crow turns into Qrow Branwen who keeps running forward after landing.

Ben stood up, feeling dizzy from the attack when he tried to see what's happening his eyes wide opened as Ruby got knocked by The Scorpion Faunus. He ran quickly to Ruby and activated the Omnitrix while Tyrian approaches Ruby on the ground and raises his stinger, his eyes turning a dark purple. Nora, who is comforting a fallen Ren, and Jaune both look on in horror. Laughing, Tyrian is about to strike with his scorpion tail. Ben became near both of them and pressed the dial for any transformation, a green flashlight came with it JNR eyes became wide from the transformation, the new transformation stood in front of Ruby taking the hit from the stinger, as the tail hit the body, a green flashlight came and got split to two figures, the figures take the appearance of a green humanoid frog with grey metallic eyebrows and green eyes. They wear a blue, black, and white jumpsuit covering all except for their arms and feet, as well as a grey and black mask. Finally the Omnitrix symbol on his back.

Qrow stopped when he saw Ben's new transformation which was odd, RNJR jaws dropped from the new alien while Tyrian looked confused from the weird robotic frog looking, then all of the sudden, the one on the right grabbed the tail of Tyrian pulling him and send to the Psycho Faunus a strong uppercut making him fly for a few seconds in the air and finally crash on the rooftop of the building, destroying it completely.

The one on the left opened his eyes and saw his clone's action and got excited. "A new alien! This is COOL! But why do you look familiar?" The one on the left asked. "That's because you visited that crowded planet called 'Ekoplekton' when you traveled with your cousin and friends, remember." The one on the right responded.

RNJR became more shocked, the transformation worked like Ditto and Echo Echo, yet it's different than them. With Ben, he Remembered that one time he visited that planet and scanned their D.N.A. But he didn't transform into one of them before this encounter.

Meanwhile Tyrian shooked his head from the hit he took from Ben's new transformation, he recovered quickly and jumped high catching RNJR and the shapeshifter attention. "Well! Well! Well! As I live and breathe. Benjamin Tennyson appeared with some fancy transformation never seen before What a happy event!" Tyrian exclaimed.

( Insert song: Bad Luck Charm by Jeff Williams. )

"Okay MR. Joker with a tail! Tell us Who are you? What is going on here? And Who is this queen you follow?" Ekoplektoid asked in an angry tone while Ruby tried to stand with her scythe.

"Of course I didn't tell you who I am. Well, my name is Tyrian, and my queen, Lady Salem is the one who planned for the attack on Beacon and will continue with the others if you didn't mind." Tyrian stated.

Now RNJR and Ben are shocked after this information, this Salem is the woman who used Cinder and her minions to infiltrate the Vytal festival and the C.C.T tower. "You're saying all of this planned by your damn queen or whatever you call her." Slapback 1 on the left exclaimed, "If that so, 'Slapback' will give some good punches as my message for her grace." Slapback 2 on the right continued.

There was a silence for a few seconds, mainly because the new alien's name called Slapback as RNJR and Tyrian were confused and chuckled at the name. "Ahh? Why the name Slapback?" Ruby asked because of how ridiculous the name.

Slapback looked to Ruby and back to Tyrian. "Don't worry. You will understand how this alien works once the action starts." Slapback 1 said.

Tyrian began to lose his patience from the talking. "I think we had enough talk now, don't you?" Tyrian commented on Slapback and crouched with his tail looks like a slingshot ready to go.

Slapbacks narrowed their eyes with the one on the right. "You took the words right out of your-" Slapback got interrupted by Tyrian's fast attack.

Tyrian rushes to Slapbacks before he can finish voicing the thought and the two begin fighting. Slapbacks blocks two strikes with their hands and jumped away from Tyrian, then Slapback 2 began the fight with him as he used punches to fight Tyrian who jumps trying to pierce Slapback 2 as he lands. Slapback 2 dodges then tried to punch but Tyrian back-flips away and rushes back in. The two clash as Tyrian goes flying, he comes to a stop digging his weapons into the ground. Slapback 1 approached him to attack with a roundhouse kick but he ducks to avoid an attack from Slapback 1 then leaps aside to dodge a coming punch from Slapback 1, then the Psycho Faunus tries to strike his back but it didn't seem to make him flench. Tyrian attacks again as Slapback 1 parries several thrusts of his tail with his forearm and ducks from the coming attack. Until he jumps high preparing his fist As Tyrian backed up from the downward strike which caused the building behind him to get cut in half gets by the shock-wave. Tyrian uses The Queen Servants' built-in guns to focus on damage with the shot. As Slapback 1 blocks the shots with hands in front of him which can make him uncomfortable, with Tyrian circles him firing a steady barrage, Ren and Nora join in, but Tyrian catches their sneak attack and dodges then easily knocks them away with his kicks. He moves to chase them as the two lands back near Jaune and Ruby, but Slapback 2 intervenes to hold him back.

As Slapback 2 holds Tyrian he looked behind him. "Can you make a small help, which is don't come closer," He said looking at his teammate and back to Tyrian. "As professionals have their standers." He continued until he punched Tyrian to back up.

Slapback 2 blocks a jab from Tyrian's tail then counters, Tyrian parries before retaliating with a slash followed by a kick. Slapback 1 joined and '2' carried '1' by his legs and began to swinging Slapback 1 like a sword, Tyrian used queen servants and began to slash, as the two clashing and dodging Tyrian and Slapback 2 weapons hit each other and make a shockwave from the colliding.

Behind RNJR were watching in awe, Ben transformed into a new alien called Slapback and do a crazy fight with Tyrian the crazy Faunus. "Wow! That's just wow!" Jaune commented. Ruby is amazed by the fight but she had an idea in her mind "Guys! I have an idea that can be a little bit brutal." Ruby said. JNR looked at Ruby with confusion. "Ruby? You realized that Ben said clearly he will take care of him." Nora stated.

"Well yes. But we can teach him a lesson while he focuses on Ben." Ruby explained with a small smile, which made JNR confused more.

Back to the fight. Tyrian manages to use his tail to Slapback 2 from one, throwing him away to the building. Tyrian prepared his stinger to poison Slapback. While he doesn't that Slapback's body is metallic but Slapback 2 dodged and punched Tyrian in the face. He groans in pain backing up before Slapback 2 lands a few more hits. With a dive kick, he manages to send Tyrian flying and start running to him, Tyrian used his tail to recover and engage in Slapback. The Ekoplektoid jumped at the last second above Tyrian to reach his other version. Slapback 1 stood up and helped '2' to reach the rooftop of the building. Tyrian returned to attack The Ekoplektoid but he jumped back on the head of the scorpion Faunus and grabbed his other version and in green flashlight they merged in one bigger Ekoplektoid, Tyrian followed him as their battle continues. They appear evenly matched until Slapback notices a damaged beam. He ran to it to trick which worked, Tyrian landed on it and Slapback jumped at the same time. In the air, Slapback was watching Tyrian fall in the crumble but the Faunus uses his tail to drag The Ekoplektoid down, too. As the two lands, the remaining roof collapses inward.

This is enough to make Ruby decide to no longer stay back and take another step in her idea. Staring at the dust cloud in concern she descends to street level. Just as she reaches the building, Slapback came out from the crashing out through the wall, his body bouncing. Until He split into two clones where Slapback 1 charged to Tyrian while '2' felt in the ground.

Tyrian comes out of the floating dust and grime inside the building, purple flickers moving across his body. As the two begin to strike again, Tyrian grabbed Slapbackwithout his attention and tossed '1' on '2', he thought that his idea of hitting the Slapback by the other. Unfortunately, this caused the two clones to split up into 4 small clones. The weight of the two small Slapbacks made Tyrian takes off his grip, Slapback 3 who came from Slapback 2 threw '4' to Tyrian's face, and with one punch it felt like he got hit by a giant hammer to the face straight to the remained of the building.

Tyrian felt the pain coming from the punch as well as his aura reached low levels. "What is this thing and how is he that strong?" Tyrian asked with frustration.

The Slapbacks stood up and stared at Tyrian. "Well Ekoplektoid splits up when they take enough damage, and their strength and weight became bigger the more they split up." Slapback 1 explained in a more high-pitched voice before they merged back to two clones which gained the attention of RNJR, Tyrian, and behind them Qrow who's watching the fight with awe on his face. 'An alien who got the power of splitting up to become shorter but better in his other stats, impressive alien to deal with the strong Grimm if you asked me.' Qrow thought before he focused on the fight again.

Tyrian became angry with his eyes changed to purple. "Split up or not, you will time out before you think you can beat me," Tyrian said sounded so sure.

Tyrian prepared to poison Slapback at the right moment until then he charged forward with queen servants, Slapback 1 threw '2' to Tyrian, The Psycho was quick to block the coming attack with his tail and threw it next to '1' who came and began to strike some hits but Tyrian parried the coming hits, '2' came back quickly and started to help '1'. The plan worked cause they landed few hits before they grab Tyrian's tail and jumped high in the air and slammed him hard to break his aura.

The Omnitrix to make beeping sounds before it timed out, returned to Ben. As he takes a look at what seemed the unconscious Faunus, he wasn't. Tyrian had some energy left, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and tried to use his tail to poison Ben.

Ben reacted fast enough to dodge the stinger and grabbed Tyrian's tail, stretching it out, and in a half of a second Ruby immediately cuts off the stinger from the rest of Tyrian's tail. It bounces, spurting purple liquid, to the ground. Tyrian reels back and cries out from the pain. Standing, he whirls to face Ruby, infuriated.

"You bitch!" Tyrian cursed from Ruby's action.

He takes a step or two forward but is off balance. Nora, Ren, and Jaune all move to block his path to Ruby and Ben.

Tyrian takes a few awkward steps, not engaging. "She'll forgive you," Tyrian said to himself with horror on his face and voice before he eventually ran away.

Qrow saw the scene look proudly as his niece cut Tyrian's tail but he focused back and turned into a bird before they see him.

"Who was that guy?"

"Who's that queen he meant?"

"What's exactly going on"

The five teens stayed silent for a moment before Ben cut the silence. "I don't know! Maybe that was Paradox's meaning about the hidden danger that nobody knows about." Ben said narrowing his eyes.

The End

AN: Okay, I'm very sorry for not uploading anything, it's my laziness who came back, and V8 of RWBY is here too, which is holy shit, things are getting crazy and with the mid-season break tomorrow I won't promise that I will upload anything in the almost 2 months break, because of school and exams, I will see what i can do. Another reason why this chapter wasn't here because of the laptop suddenly decided to crash and i had to rewrite the damn thing again.

I said before that I will use the reboot aliens, and here it is I used Slapback, it's one of many ideas I have in this story for future chapters.

The last thing is Chapter 7 of RWBY V8 cliffhanger should be a crazy one, I mean by making it something very crazy to make the people interested for the time, or no one wants to spend 2 months for nothing.
