Yeah, this is gonna get even more bloody than the last version.
Last time on The RPG Hunter
Aaron summoned Ifrit again and defeated Cardin in a fight, showing that his power is unlike anyone else's.
The Gamer had just found out about Ruby and his sister being kidnapped, which leads to the question of who would kidnap them?
What will happen this chapter? Find out now!
[Play Opening One]
Aaron was currently still standing in the doorway in shock at the news Weiss and Billy had told him, he then got a serious look on his face. He knew now was not the time to stand there and do nothing.
Now... was the time for some action.
"Weiss, Billy, where are they?" He asked in a serious tone
"In a warehouse, CRDL were the ones that took them. They requested you, you have to save them or else they'll kill her." Weiss explained with a slightly afraid look
"I... don't know why they would do this." Billy said, clenching his fists
Aaron nodded, he then focused his magic, he was now in his normal outfit but didn't decide to wear the armor for some strange reason, he grabbed his sword and backup weapon and looked at Weiss along with Billy.
He needs to go out and do this quickly, since their team leaders weren't around... he'll have to give a few commands.
"Weiss, an hour after I leave, I need you to go get the rest of your team, my team, team JNPR, the rest of team DECK, Marie and Glynda. Have them get to the warehouse that I'm going to. Billy, I need you to go find out where Ruby and Dani are being held while I handle Team CRDL. There's no way that they'd be dumb enough to keep them in the same location as they are. Got that?" Aaron said/asked
"Yes, I do." Weiss said with a nod
"I understand, those bastards are gonna get a beating if I get mah hands on them." Billy said pounding his hand into his fist
"Good, now if you excuse me. I have to go save some people that I care about." Aaron said
He then used his magic and teleported to the warehouse, he stood in front of it. He frowned at the sight of it, he was angry. Very Angry, those sons of bitches kidnapped the person he loved and his sister.
They had decided to mess with the people he cares about... well... he's gonna show them exactly what happens when they pull shit like this to hurt him in revenge.
'I swear to the Gods themselves, this is going to be destroyed if something happened to Ruby and god forbid my sister.' Aaron thought angrily and with clenched fists
He then walked in, keeping his gun up as he looked around the area carefully. He didn't see anybody except two shadowy figures on the ground. He lowered his gun and his eyes widened. He faintly saw ropes around them, his vision isn't exactly the greatest. Especially considering the fact that he just woke up and the lights were dim enough to cover them in shadow.
He then ran over and crouched near them, he lightly shook them out of concern. He doesn't know if it's Ruby and Dani or not... he wouldn't put it past Team CRDL to kidnap some more people as a part of their schemes.
Gods those guys suck... they're even worse then they were in the show. Which was something he didn't exactly want to deal with.
"You two okay?" Aaron asked concerned
He turned them over, it was some dummies. Aaron looked at this confused, they weren't... real? They looked a bit realistic, he then remembered reading about some kind of drug that, when put into the air, would alter perception slightly.
This didn't fall into the parameters of Gamer's Mind as it got rid of illusions, not slight altercation of Perception.
"What the?" He asked himself softly
Aaron was, of course shocked at this information he processed. Who had set these up anyways for Team CRDL? This seems... oddly professional work, even for them. He didn't exactly think they'd be capable of doing this kind of thing, especially with their grades.
He was then dragged away from the dummy's, he was kicked in the face. Aaron looked up to see two of Cardin's teammates, they then restrained him, Cardin then came out of the shadows, he had an evil and dark grin.
Something that indicated he clearly intended all of this.
"Hello, freak." Cardin said evilly
Aaron had his head down and he was starting to shake slightly. Not in fear or sadness... but in anger
"Why." Aaron said softly
"Why what?" Cardin asked with a smug expression
Aaron then lifted his head, his eyes glowing slightly which was due to the magic reacting inside him. Something he had discovered a couple of years earlier when his Magic power grew more and more as he leveled up.
It was interesting... and pretty cool in his opinion but that doesn't matter... he has questions... lots of questions.
"Why would you take them!" Aaron yelled angrily
Cardin then started to smirk evilly which unnerved the Gamer slightly, he wasn't exactly expecting that sort of expression to come from that face.
"The reason I took her?" He asked mockingly
Cardin started to chuckle in an amused manner as if he had heard a very funny oke, causing Aaron to glare even more.
"Because they are important to you, and that's all we need to do. Besides, after a week, I think we're gonna have a 'fun' time with her and maybe with your sister too." Cardin explained with an evil smile
As soon as Aaron heard this, his eyes went wide, his eyes started to turn blood red while they were the size of a pin. The images flashing between his eyes of Ruby and his sister crying while being mistreated.
Flashes of their bodies bruises and beaten with men all around them, hearing their screeches of pain. Hearing their cries... it... it began to well up inside him.
When you will learn...
Aaron's eyes widened slightly at this voice inside his head, where was it coming from?
When will you learn that in this world... you have to fight, fight those who oppose you and never give up, and don't let the people you care about get hurt by others wishing to hurt you.
It... it was definitely right, he should have noticed that obvious little fact. This wasn't a game... this was all real... and he can't afford to lose. He can't afford to lose the people he cares about
The girl you love and the sister you have are in danger... because you didn't let loose hard enough, you didn't get ANGRY enough. You didn't TRY hard enough!
A dark aura came over him as his anger grew more and more, unnoticed by a laughing Cardin or any of his teammates.
What will you do to protect those you love?
The energy within him cascaded and exploded, it built up and cascading then exploding a second later. This kept going and happened over and over, causing him to breathe deeply at the influx of power going through him.
It kept cascading, morphing, and changing. Going through his veins, he felt... more and more powerful as time went by.
What will you become?
He clenched his hands into fists as his eyes slowly began to turn red with a deep guttural growl, making him seem more like a beast then a Faunas.
What will you do to survive?
His eyes grew feral as they were completely red, something was ready inside him.. and it was dying to get out and cause some mayhem.
What will you take from them...
The Gamer continued to shake from anger as an answer came from deep inside him as a response to all those questions that were asked.
Everything
"...No." He said shaking in anger
Aaron then blasted Cardin's teammates, who were restraining him, away from him as he stood up. He was still looking down, and that dark aura was starting to go stronger around him.
Memories of the pain he and his sister had to grow through since they were different from other kids flashed by him among various other memories and events he's had to go through.
"NO!" Aaron yelled out again
He was now surrounded by a thick dark aura, he looked back at Cardin with his blood-red eyes that were now glowing ominously in the darkness around him. Fear began to grow inside Team CRDL, replacing the cockiness they had before.
Good.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Aaron kept yelling
The ground started to crack under him, Cardin and his team look at him terrified of the power that was growing around him. His body producing some sort of dark bioelectricity, his DNA teeth growing sharper and sharper then they were before.
"DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING HURT THEM!" Aaron yelled angrily
Aaron then started to transform, instead of his Red Mage form, this form was different. Much more different, whereas the Red Mage form was mythical in nature... this one was darker and more sinister then before.
He was wearing black armor which was more dragon-like in nature, his helmet covered his head except for his eyes which shone through with a piercing glare, his sword was black and slightly larger in width, his left arm was still dragon-like but now had darkness flowing out of it in waves and if it was quiet enough you could hear it express your fears and how you will die because of them.
Aaron looked at Cardin with a look that could strike fear in a Grimm in half a second, that fear was crushing. He was now a Dark Dragoon, something born from hatred and darkness in one's heart.
Something perfect... to deal with someone like Cardin.
"YOU!" The Gamer yelled, his voice now distorted and nearly unrecognizable
Cardin took a couple of steps back, he then frowned angrily and pulled out his weapon, he looked at his teammates whom were shaking in fear at what they just saw. Someone they thought was easily beatable... now turned into some sort of demon thing.
What the hell was he actually!?
"We're gonna kill this freak once and for all, so get up!" Cardin yelled
His teammates saw what happened, and instead of helping Cardin, they merely said this in response to his clearly brilliant idea.
"FUCK THAT!" They said
They then tried to leave the warehouse, but instead, they were knocked out and fell to the ground with loud thuds. Their bodies having a dark aura coming off of them.
Aaron looked at them with a dark and harsh glare, feeling the fear even in their sleep.
"You aren't getting out of this." He whispered angrily
Aaron then looked back at Cardin, his red eyes looking right through his tough-guy facade. He knew that under all of that... was a scared child... a child that was spoiled rotten and felt like he could do anything he wanted.
No longer was that child going to throw a temper tantrum and get what they wanted... they were going to get the punishment they deserve.
Right here... and right now.
"They'll be spared my wrath, for they were following your orders. You, however, will not. You orchestrated this event... and you will learn what I'm going to do to you... so in other words." Aaron explained
He then pointed his metal finger at Cardin as the dark aura around him intensified and grew in power.
"I'm gonna fucking kill you, you son of a bitch." Aaron hoarsely
Cardin then steeled himself which Aaron just looked right through, he wasn't messing around anymore. This Winchester was gonna put a beast in their place even if it killed them.
"So what if you transformed, I'll still kill you like the dog you are." Cardin said
"And that's why no one will ever love you, NOW I'M GONNA SEND YOU TO GREAT BEYOND!" Aaron said/yelled
[Play Vim and Vigor Kingdom Hearts 2]
Aaron teleported behind Cardin and knocked him forward using the butt of his sword, hitting him into the wall with various cracks all around. Cardin got out of the wall, shaking off the bits of concrete, and charged at Aaron, Aaron stood there with his weapon drawn, glaring at the brat in front of him.
Cardin tried to hit him but it was either blocked or dodged, he then slapped him across the room. Sending him sliding across the ground with his weapon dropping nearby him.
Aaron then ran with blinding speed and picked up Cardin before he could pick up his weapon and continue fighting, he then threw him into the air.
He pointed his blade at him with red energy gathering at the tip.
"Explosion!" Aaron yelled
A loud explosion then burst through the air hitting Carding, sending him back to the ground, as soon as he got back up. The Gamer did multiple slashes across him, he then punched him in the face.
He then stuck his sword in the ground, he then ran at Cardin and punched him in multiple areas, he then kicked Cardin where the sun don't shine causing him to scream at a high pitch. A few people winced at this as they were walking by the warehouse, having a feeling that they knew what was going on.
Aaron then punched him into the ground, he then picked up Cardin by then neck using his left arm. The brat looked down at the Gamer in fear, the darkness in the Gamer's arm started to go into the wannabe-Huntsman.
"Prepare for your WORST NIGHTMARES!" He yelled, his eyes shining brightly with energy
Cardin was then consumed by darkness, he was screaming bloody murder as all of his worst fears and nightmares went across his vision, Aaron then retracted the darkness a few moments afterward.
The brat looked at him with pleading eyes with the Gamer merely glaring at him in anger and fury.
"Please spare me."
Aaron then glared even more than he did earlier, he shook his head slowly which caused his armor to clink around eerily.
"You had caused your own mess, now pay for the toll for messing with the people that I care deeply about, that I love." Aaron said holding Cardin close so he can only hear it
He then threw him through the roof, Aaron then sprouted wings made of darkness from his back and flew through the hole that he made. Aaron then summoned his sword, he slashed the Wannabe-Huntsman all over as fast as he possibly could with anger and hatred in his heart.
He punched Cardin back down, he then flew at Cardin. He punched him all over his body again, he kept doing it, even going underground for the most part. He then kicked him back up to the surface and teleported up were his sword was, Aaron then stuck his palm out with purple energy gathering in his hand.
"DARK BLAST!" He boomed
He then fired a huge purple beam at Cardin, at this point in the fight, Cardin was near empty on his Aura, Aaron then landed with the most venomous look ever seen. He walked slowly to the brat in front of him with his armor yet again clinking eerily around them.
Weiss along with the people she gathered arrived then arrived and saw Aaron in his new form. Haruko was looking at him in fear as he saw him walking slowly.
He picked up the Racist Leader again, he then punched him in the face one last time. It had knocked him out, it also gave him a bruise. He then glared down at his unconscious body.
[End Music]
Aaron was still in his new form, he picked up Cardin by the collar and slapped him awake. Cardin looked at him in fear, his eyes piercing his soul. He was hoping for this to be over by now.
"Where the hell are they?" He growled
"I'm.. not... going.. to.. tell... you... freak." He said, trying to spite him
"Wrong answer." Aaron said annoyed
He then slammed him into the ground, Cardin now had a bloody nose as the Gamer held him by the collar tightly with a glare.
"Now, tell me what I want. Where. The hell. Are they?" Aaron asked angrily
"Fuck... you." Cardin said, again, trying to spite him
Aaron just slammed him into the wall in response, the wannabe-Huntsman now had a broken arm which made him cry out slightly in pain. It was at this point, he realized that he might actually die if he doesn't tell what happened.
"You're gonna tell me where they are, even if it means beating you to near death. So, I'll ask again." Aaron said with a growl
He then brought Cardin close to his face, his eyes full of rage that pierced Cardin's very soul.
"Where the hell are they?" Aaron asked
Cardin saw the rage in his eyes, he knew that he would kill him to save them. That much was obvious. Cardin finally broke and just said this afraid of Aaron.
"Fine fine, I'll tell you! They're in a warehouse down a couple of streets, I told the White Fang that they could have them for money! Some of them were apparently in that business and I excepted since I hated you so much!"
Aaron's eyes widened, he then threw Cardin to the ground which broke some of his bones. The Gamer walked past him, not before looking at him as he stopped for a moment.
"If they are dead or worse, wanting to die by the time I get to them. I'm going to make sure you die a painful death, got that?" He said/asked
Cardin didn't say anything, accepting that as a yes, he had walked away. Getting to the other', this new form made them slightly afraid and more then unnerved. Aaron looked at his mom, nodding slightly.
"We have to go down a couple of streets, that's where they are. Professors, please deal with Cardin. Me and everyone else will go after them. Teams, follow me." Aaron said
He sprouted wings of darkness and flew into the sky, the others running after them while his mom and Glynda stayed to deal with the kidnappers. Aaron flew a couple of streets over, he walked in to see a bunch of White Fang members getting ready.
Ruby had her cape off while Dani tried to stop them from doing anything else, they saw Aaron and fired at him. Not recognizing him underneath the armor he wore
Unluckily for them, his armor just stopped the bullets which caused them to bounce off. He merely snapped his fingers, pillars of dark fire engulfed the White Fang members. he then kept walking towards them, the others arriving to fend off other White Fang members despite some of them being severely weakened and most likely not need any real fighting.
He then untied them, which caused them to look at Aaron, not knowing it was him since again the armor covered his features.
"Who are you?" Ruby asked
"It's me Ruby." Aaron said
Ruby realized it was him along with Dani, the transformation ended as motes of darkness came off his body with the armor disappearing. His eyes turned slowly back to blue, he then started to have tears go down his face.
He stabbed his sword in the center of the warehouse, deciding to leave it behind... he didn't want this to happen... so he's giving up... he's not gonna continue this path anymore.
He knows that he has to save people but... at the cost of them getting hurt? He can't... he won't risk that just to save the world... it wouldn't be right to allow that.
"A-Aaron! Where are you going?" Dani asked
"I... I... I have to go." Aaron said with a broken voice
He ran out of the warehouse, he looked up at the rising sun as he did as the Team's he summoned to help looked at him confused as to why he was leaving.
He stopped looked back at the others, he gave off a sad vibe. Haruko tried to reach out to him, but Aaron shook his head with a shadow over it.
"I should leave, I've... I've done enough harm... don't look for me...okay?" Aaron said with tears in his eyes while holding his mouth
He continued to run away, Cardin and his team being held by Glynda along with Aaron's mother. Cardin's teammates looked at Cardin with a glare, Cardin just looked ashamed
"Why were you our leader again?" One of them asked
"Yeah, you just had to kidnap Ruby and Dani, we went along with it out of fear. Now we realize that you really are a terrible person, a person who's selfish and cruel. We wanted to be heroes like you told us, but you just wanted to be vain and be exactly like your Father. I'm pretty sure there was a good reason that he got jailed in the first fucking place. Hope you're happy with yourself." Another one of his teammates said
"My mom and Dad actually respected Faunas and I did a little. I apologized to the people we bullied, and honestly... I kind of wanted to stop hurting people. But no, I wanted to go with you since you were the tough guy. The big man on Campus. Why did I think to fucking follow you, I'm dropping out... and I'm becoming what my parents wanted me to be. A person who helps Faunas... like I originally dreamed" Sky said
"I wanted to be a musician, I love music then fighting." The person who questioned Cardin's said
"I wanted to bake for a living, I loved cooking with my mother. I stopped because of you because you thought it was girly shit!" The honest member said
Cardin looked down, he started to feel a bit ashamed. He... really did lose himself huh? He was slapped in the face by Ruby, who currently had tears in her eyes.
"You chased away one of the nicest people ever, I hope your happy you JERK!" Ruby yelled
She then started to beat up Cardin, who couldn't put up a fight after that brutal beating he was given along with being restrained, Yang put a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
Cardin fell to the ground a few moments later, he couldn't stand anymore at this point.
"Ruby, stop." She said
Ruby looked at her in anger, she was just concerned. She wasn't one to talk about controlling her anger... but even she knew that anger won't help right now.
"It won't bring him back here, Cardin's had enough." Yang said softly
Ruby then got back up, and walked away with her head in her hands. The blonde looked down at Cardin and glared, her eyes turning red for a moment.
"You really had to do that didn't you? Ya know, I would have beaten you up for kidnapping Ruby but it seems Aaron already did that for me." Yang said angrily
She then left, afterward, Blake then walked up to Cardin as he got back up. She was super pissed off seeing as she was glaring at him heavily.
"You just had to do that." She said
"I wanted to-"
"To what, get revenge for some petty fight? To get revenge for him winning against you? Or was it because he was a Faunas and he was better than you at a lot of things?" Blake asked angrily
Cardin looked down in shame, the Faunas simply glared as she left. Glynda looked at him and she was pissed. Marie was even more pissed as this little shit just chased away her son, which she still was concerned about even after finding out he was alive.
After all, dying can affect a person's mental state... that much she's learned from books among other things
"After what you did or at least attempted to do, you gonna be expelled for this." Glynda said
"Not just expelled but also going to jail. What you attempted was Sex Trafficking... which is punishable by death in Vale. You'll be lucky to even see the light of day, punk." Marie said
Cardin was then set down and followed Glynda, his teammates walking over.
"So what do we do know?" They asked
"You can either continue going to the school without a leader or leave and pursue your career's... let it be known that you'll be giving witness testimonies after all of this" Glynda said
Cardin's teammates then followed along to tell Ozpin that they were gonna stop trying to do something they don't love, TAC just glared at them.
"He's worse than the Grimm." Arian spat
"You're right about that." Amber said darkly
Haruko was silent, she just stood there, staring. Arian looked at her concerned, he tried to put a hand on her shoulder but she walked away before he could. She just ran out of the warehouse, and in the same direction as Aaron.
The silver-haired boy looked at Aaron's sword which was still in the ground. Jaune ran over and picked it up, he looked at it, a tear fell on it as Dani was looking at it near him.
She looked at Jaune, tears flooding her eyes.
"I don't want to lose him again." Dani said softly
He then walked over to Ruby and handed it to her. Ruby grabbed it, the sword had a weight to it but she could handle it as Crescent Rose was heavier. But... it felt a little heavier... because of the emotion it was charged with a few moments earlier.
It was used to save her from a terrible event... and sparked the Gamer's anger to a serious point.
"You should keep it for when he comes back, he's gonna need it." Jaune said
"Thanks." Ruby said quietly
"Your welcome." Jaune said
He walked back to his team, Nora was even a bit down, Lie Ren had a blank look but if you looked into his eyes, he was angry. Pyrrha looked ashamed for some odd reason.
"We should have known what was going on." Pyrrha said softly
"It's not your fault, it's nobody's fault except Cardin's." Jaune said with a sigh
The blonde then turned around, he started to walk away towards where Aaron left which made his teammates confused.
"Where are you going Jaune?" Pyrrha asked confused
"To look for Aaron, he's hurting inside right now. I need to help him before it's too late." Jaune said
Jaune then left the warehouse, everyone else looking on in sadness, Ruby and Dani decided to go with him. She looked at her team, they simply nodded along with Dani's. She ran over to Jaune, they nodded and walked out together.
Ellie was just looking down, she didn't say anything. Cody hugged her, he rubbed her back.
"Don't worry, Aaron's gonna be back." He said
"I... wish that didn't happen." Ellie said
Billy was just, silent. He looked like he shut himself off from everything, all emotion and thought. He just simply walked silently into the warehouse, he saw all of the dead White Fang members. He saw a piece of paper on the ground, it had a list of what they were gonna do to Ruby and Dani.
All the acts that they were going to commit, especially after selling her off as a slave.
He glared at it with disgust, bastards is what he thought.
Meanwhile with Aaron
Aaron was currently on top of an old ruined building, he sighed softly to himself.
"I shouldn't have fought him... I should have... walked away." He said
He looked over at the city, the winding blowing silently.
"I should have known better."

Next time on The RPG Hunter
"Aaron, you were trying to save me!" Ruby said with tears in his eyes
"ME ALSO, YOU DID EXACTLY THAT! JUST PLEASE, COME BACK ALREADY!" Dani yelled
"I don't want to hurt you! The both of you!" Aaron yelled with tears in his eyes
"WHY?!" Ruby asked confused
"Because I'm in love with you RUBY!" Aaron admitted
"What?" Ruby asked shocked
"I... I didn't know he was." Dani said shocked
Welp... I've made this scene a little bit better I think but let me know what you guys think about it? Did I do better? Worse? Somehow the same exact quality?
I'd love to hear your guy's criticism about this.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
