Sorry if this comes out extra later than normal, I was on a trip and didn't bring my laptop with me. Before I officially kick off my arc, I think now would be a great time for a fluff chapter.

Chapter cover- A man standing in the foreground, smiling as lightning strikes behind him.

Ch.14- Lighting is a fickle person

A few days have passed since our battle against the Rabia and her party, right now we know very little of them and they know of us. We'll deal with them as they come, right now we are still students and need to focus on our studies.

The day after the fight, me and Ruby told each other about what happened during our fights and any information we managed to gather. I told Ruby I was going to fill her in about some more information about our world, mainly surrounding the Chief Goddess and The Order.

"What's up Ruby?" Ersa spots Ruby walking over to her before she was about to do weight training, "Need something?"

"Yeah Ersa, Issia said she was going to tell me about your world. Do you know where she is?" Ruby asks Ersa where her sister is.

"She said, she was going to take a nap in our dorm, she's probably been knocked for a few hours at this point. So wake her up for us, but be careful." Ersa chimes in, knowing who Ruby would wake Issia.

"Sure. Thanks, Ersa." Ruby runs to our dorm as fast as she can, upon opening the door takes a look around before finding me asleep in my bed and under the covers.

Ruby tip-toes over to my bed trying her best not suddenly shock me, Nora tried to that to Ersa and she put her in a headlock almost knocking her out. Just as Ruby makes it to the side of my bed, I grab and throw her into bed with me.

"Ow, I guess this must be what Ersa warned me about." Ruby thinks she figured what Ersa meant about waking up Issia, but she's so wrong. Ruby tries to get me off her but I push her back down.

"Issia," Ruby starts to get uneasy as I keep pushing down when she tries to get me off her. I finally open my eyes and scan over Ruby before licking my lips.

"I'll have fun with you...your mana looks so delicious, corrupting you will be so much fun," I tell Ruby before moving my face in closer.

"Issia! Snap out of i-" I interrupt Ruby by stealing her first kiss, I can taste the sweetness of her mouth and I can even tell she had a Strawberry earlier. Breaking away from our little kiss reveals Ruby squirming and panting, the ecstasy from seeing her at her weakest is driving me wild. I decide it's time to go lower.

Using my free hand, I sneak it under Ruby's dress to get a feel of her body before going in for the kill, "Issia! Stop!" Ruby cries in one final plea and that wakes me allowing me to see what I'm doing to my best friend.

"Ruby?! Oh god, No!" I can easily piece together what I did and disgusted by what I did.

"I'm so sorry Ruby!" I blurt out before jumping out my bed and out of the room while hiding my face from what I did.

Elsewhere

"Alright, this is the place." A light-skinned man in his early twenties says appearing out of nowhere. His hair is short and messy making it look like he just got out of bed.

His clothes consist of a dark brown shirt, a light green pants with greaves attached to the bottom and covering his legs up to his knees on his belt are three swords hanging freely. His shoes are covered in steel plates

The man scratches the back of his head, "Now where's the hell is Beacon? The locals might know." The man then walks around looking for somebody who might know their way around.

The man walks around until he spots Roman, Neo and the White Fang looting a dust shop, "Excuse me," The man makes himself known to them, "I was wondering if you know where Beacon Academy is?" They all look at each other and wonder if the man is dumb, dense, obvious or just plain stupid.

"Someone shoot him!" Roman commands and one of the White Fang grunts fire at the man and hit him in the head, blowing off a part of him.

"Geeze, people are just getting dumber by the day." Roman chimes before ordering everyone to get back to work.

A sigh is heard and everyone slowly turns to the man's body, which hasn't fallen over yet, "Typically for me...every time I travel to a new place, someone tries to kill me." Roman's cigar falls out his mouth because in place of blood and guts is lightning and the man is still able to talk. The man's head reforms to reveal that he's smiling.

"What the hell are you?" Roman asks as everyone pulls their weapons.

"The name's Lisce Holdback, son of the Three Sword twins." Lisce properly introduces himself, promptly followed by Roman and Neo getting worried.

Lisce cracks his neck and tosses one of his swords behind himself then raising his hand which starts crackling with thunder, "Gigavolt Havoc." Then bring it down, taking out all the grunts in less than a second by electrifying the floor.

"Argg," Roman fires a flare at Lisce and he side-steps, but Roman extends his cane and grabs the flare. Lisce pulls out one of his swords to attack Roman, but Neo deflects the attack with her umbrella. Roman tosses his earlier flare at Lisce as he's still mid-attack, exploding right under him.

"So that what they meant by unique weapons." As the dust settles, Lisce is standing on top of the sword he threw out earlier, unharmed and seemingly laughing.

"Let me show you something," Lisce pulls out a metal rod from his pocket and holds between his hands channeling lightning all over his body, "I learned how to turn myself into a railgun."

Neo jumps in front Roman and opens her umbrella, "Alright it's ready." Lisce fires off the metal rod and on contact with the umbrella, the rod explodes, completely breaking Neo's guard leaving her open. Lisce flips over Neo and draws his swords again, unleashing a flurry of attack against Roman, even with his impressive defense, Roman is put against the ropes.

Neo jumps back into the fight about to stab Lisce in the side, he jumps the way and sensing Neo did something, he throws one of his swords shattering the illusion.

Lisce's body crackles with lightning once more, "Gigavolt Havoc: Seek and Destroy!" Lisce sends out three arcs of lightning as tall as himself, the arcs track down Roman and Neo before they can escape and stun them, Lisce jumps about to slam his sword down and is sudden in front the last arc, crushing it and finishing them off.

"Shoulda just told me where Beacon was, and I wouldn't have batted an eye." Lisce sheaths his swords, "But where is Beacon?" Roman fighting through his paralysis pointing to where Beacon is.

"Thanks. The paralysis should wear off in about...five or so minutes for you guys. You guys are lucky that I didn't get serious...by the way, those grunts might be out cold for a while."

Beacon Academy

"I can't believe what I almost did to Ruby." As the memories of almost turning and corrupting Ruby into a monster floods my mind, I just run faster and further trying to escape the moment until I bump into someone and fall to my back.

"Ouch," The person helps me up and I see Lisce standing in front of me, I break down crying and jump into his chest.

"Whoa, Issia! Issia, what happened?! Are the others ok?!" Big Bro comforts me in his arms while trying to see what happened to me.

I look up to him with tears and snot dripping down my face, "I almost c-corrupted R-Ruby." I mutter out before digging my head back into Bro's chest again.

A portal opens dropping Deandra and Ruby in front of us, "Issia, it wasn't your fault!" Ruby blurts out as she appears out the portal.

Bro strokes my head and then takes a deep breath, pulling me off in the process, "Look Issia...I know you're scared of your powers, but you need to take care of your problems, running away will never solve anything. The reason you attacked Ruby was that you were starved of mana, meaning you haven't been taking care of yourself properly." Bro tells me what caused the accident, Bro takes a wipe out from his pocket and uses it to clean my face.

"You know I don't like seeing you cry." Bro reminds me.

"Issia…" Ruby kneels in front of me, "I not may fully understand what you're going through but...I'm your best friend so let me try to understand, instead of running away."

"Don't try doing this alone, you have people who are willing to help you through your problems," Bro points to Deandra and Ruby, "So let them help you."

Ruby holds her arms out for me and I instantly jump into her arms and give her a great big hug, "I promise to never run away from you anymore, Ruby." I tell her.

"Glad to hear it."

Writer: Sorry for this coming out, so late I was away on a trip and didn't have my laptop on me, but I still hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Fun fact about Lisce, his name is an anagram of slice, and he's the whole reason I started writing this story in the first place.
