Hey there Kaiju of all kinds! And welcome back to Monsters Among us!
Now I would've gotten this done earlier but I had to work on the weekend, so this was unavoidable. Anyway, this chapter might be short due to the little bit of a rush to get this done. Now the fight will have a reason to it in the story as to why this chapter is shorter than the rest.
So I hope you enjoy the chapter and what I have next will be a lot better and a bit longer.
So Enjoy!
Chapter 4 Round 3 Cat VS Kaiju
[Now Playing-Take it out on me-Thousand Foot Krutch]
"Round 3, Blake Belladonna VS Zak Jaeger…" Glynda announced as Blake and I got into position. From what I can see from looking at her, Blake's eyes are not human looking. Meaning she must be a Faunus, if the smell of Cat was any dead giveaway. Her weapon looked like a cleaver blade of sorts, the gun part was clear since I could see a pistol magazine at the bottom of the handle of the weapon, and the ribbon looks like it must be apparent as well. "Ready…" I heard Ms Goodwitch call as I clenched my fists.
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know anymore
Thought I had
Thought I had it under control
"Set…" Was the second calling, and I could tell Blake was more than ready to face me. But what she doesn't know is that she's facing a Kaiju in disguise. Just waiting for the next call to be declared and it will begin. Let's see how good she is.
Hear my voice, here it goes
Hear it louder than most
Here it goes, here it goes
(1 2 3 4)
"FIGHT!"
As soon as Glynda said that Blake and I dashed at each other.
It's not worth it
It's not workin'
You wanted it to be picture perfect
It's not over,
You don't have to throw it away.
I went for her blade but my hand phased through it and I was struck in the back, I spun around to see her with her weapon in two forms, having the cleaver in one hand in a reverse grip and the other was a Katana crossed with a handgun. Blake dashed at me again and went on the defensive and waited till she got close and went for a kick to the stomach but the result was the same and I was slashed across the chest this time.
However when I spun around I tried to hit her with a back-fist but the result repeated itself again and I was slashed across the side. When Blake got some range on me she fired per pistol at me and I ran towards her while protecting my face from the bullets since they merely bounced off my skin.
So scream if you wanna, shout if you need
Just let it go (take it out on me)
Fight if you need to, smash if it helps you
Get control (take it out on me)
So scream if you wanna, shout if you need
Just let it go (take it out on me)
Fight if you need to, smash if it helps you
Get control
As I was close I slid on the ground with my momentum and tried to kick her legs so she'd lose balance but it was the same result like the first 3 times and got struck in the chest as I saw Blake flip over me. As my slide came to a stop I got to my feet and looked at her from across the field. With limited ranged attacks in my current form I can't do much about it since I'm trying to hide my Kaiju traits from everyone here.
'Man I wish she'd hold still'. I mentally groaned as I then saw the Katana part her weapon shift into a pistol again and she flung it at me and she was holding onto the ribbon. Blake Yanked it back and the gun fired and shielded my face just in case, I then felt the pistol firing at several parts of my body at the same time.
You try to move, try to move
But you don't wanna lose
So afraid, so afraid
You don't want it to fade
Hear my voice, here it goes
Hear it louder than most
Let it go, let it (1 2 3 4)
I took a risk and slammed the ground below me and the shockwave raced at Blake who saw this coming but gave me the window to race in her direction and I managed to get a shoulder barge into her sending her across the field knocking a quarter of her aura off. However Blake was quick to recover and she fired her pistol at me again but it was going in full auto, peppering my aura quickly if I didn't finish this soon.
It's not worth it
It's not workin'
You wanted it to be picture perfect
It's not over,
You don't have to throw it away.
I raced towards Blake again but I slammed the ground at her feet sending her in the air but she used her clone to get extra momentum for a swing with her cleaver. It came into contact with me but it was stopped by my hand, the same thing I had done to Ruby and Weiss. I spun around a few times and tossed her across the arena, I quickly picked up a piece of rubble and tossed it at her while she was airborne and struck her hard depleting nearly all her aura she had a quarter of it left.
So scream if you wanna, shout if you need
Just let it go (take it out on me)
Fight if you need to, smash if it helps you
Get control (take it out on me)
So scream if you wanna, shout if you need
Just let it go (take it out on me)
Fight if you need to, smash if it helps you
Get control
With the beating she took she struggled to get up but still managed to stand. I slammed the ground below me and the shockwave travelled in her direction lifting her up in the air once more and I then tossed another piece of rubble at her. However she saw it coming and fired her pistol at me again dropping my aura halfway. When she was near the ground I raced towards her and kicked her in the stomach finishing the fight for good.
[End Track]
"Zak Jaeger is the winner!" Glynda announced and the crowd cheered again for my success for beating 3 people in a team without a rest. I walked over to Blake and offered her a hand. She smiled and accepted it and I pulled her up.
"I'll admit Blake, you're hard to hit when you're on the move. You got me good a few times". I stated as I rolled my shoulders from all the bullets I had taken today.
"Well, at least I managed soften you up for my partner. But still, you won fair and square". She replied.
"I was wondering, how come with the amount of damage I was doing was so much?" I asked her.
"I don't have as much aura as the other in my team. But with I make up for it with the speed, agility and damage I can do up close". She explained giving me a clear reason why. Blake's a bit of a glass cannon, she can do a good amount of damage but she can't take too many hits as her teammates can, it explains a lot actually.
"Well that clears it up perfectly". I said as we then walked up to Goodwitch and the rest of Blake's team. Goodwitch looked at me with a raised brow. "Is there a problem Miss Goodwitch?" I asked, and she pointed towards the ring and I saw how much destruction I caused with my sheer strength. "Oh, heh. My bad". I said with an awkward smile which made her sigh before I saw all the pieces were being put back into place in the ring, a few moments later the ring was clean and fixed. As if nothing ever happened to it in the first place.
"Zak, I understand the type of fighting methods you use. But at least try to use some restraint when you spar with other students". She advised to me as she pushed her glasses upward.
"Well, considering who my last opponent is…I really can't promise anything Miss Goodwitch". I said honestly as I referred to Yang and the possible destruction that will follow with the two us us being put in the ring.
"I guess you are right". She said to me.
"After the fighting you gave to the rest of my team, I'm already fired up and ready whenever you are". Yang said as she cracked her knuckles which made me smirk. But Miss Goodwitch came in and interrupted before I can reply.
"Miss Xiao Long, Zak may need some time to recover from his last three fights with your team. It wouldn't be fair if-," "It's fine". I interrupted her. "I can go one more round, besides. It'll be a good test for me". I stated which shocked team RWBY and the two teachers here.
"Zak are you sure? My sister punches hard and has enough strength to clobber an Ursa Major without breaking a sweat". Ruby asked me in concern with her knowing her sister the best and her fighting style.
"I'm Sure, I've fought tough opponents before. My mother and God Father were just two from the top of my head". I answered, I then looked at Yang. "I'm good to go if you are Yang". I smiled as she then walked into the arena and I followed her. We then took positions at each end and got ready.
(With Team RWBY)
As the two combatants entered the ring Ruby was cheering for her sister and Weiss observed the two fighters and knew there was going to be utter chaos when the fight begins. However Blake observed Zak closely and noticed something was off about him…all the while trying not to stare at his toned figure at the same time.
When she fought him he was able to adapt extremely quickly and catch Weiss's Ruby's and her attack with his bare hands without receiving any damage at all. Something like that is extremely hard to do for even veteran Huntsman and Huntresses, but for him to do it flawlessly did stick out for her.
"Is something wrong Blake?" Her thoughts was brought back to reality as Weiss got her attention.
"I'm fine Weiss, it's just Zak…there's something about him that I can't put my finger on". She said to the Heiress. "His scent is…nothing I'm familiar with, I would know if he was a Faunus in disguise, it's like he's a Faunas but at the same time he isn't…I don't know how to describe it". She explained as this got Weiss thinking too.
"What should we do then? Is he part of the White Fang or?" Weiss asked treading lightly on the subject.
"No, I would've recognised him if that were the case". Blake answered. "I think we should keep an eye on him for the time being".
"Well we've been doing a good job at it so far, because with the sheer power he has and with Yang as his opponent. It's clear there might not be a sparring ring left when their finished punching each other". Weiss Stated as a matter of fact.
Blake nodded in response and turned her attention back to the fight which will begin now. However she was still thinking what Zak is hiding and who he is.
(Arena)
"Ready Yang?" I called towards her. And her answer was her weapons activated on her arms, bracelets turning into gauntlets and cocking them. 'Wait, are those SHOTGUNS?!' I screamed mentally in surprise and in all honesty it sums up how Yang is able to hit as hard as Ruby says. 'She uses shotguns in her gauntlets and punches with them at her target doing tremendous damage. Not sure if I want to be on the receiving end'. I thought to myself.
"The Fourth and final round, Zak Jaeger VS Yang Xiao Long…" Glynda announced as I saw everyone was at the edge of their seats for this fight.
"Let's put on a show shall we?" Yang called over to me in which she was smirking. I smirked back and cracked my neck in preparation.
"Well let's not disappoint shall we?" I called back and we both got into a fighting stance ready for whatever comes each other's way.
This is gonna be fun.
3 Down 1 to go!
Now Blake's fight had a reason to it. I believe that Blake is a the Glass cannon of Team RWBY, being able to do a good amount of damage, being very agile and using hit and run tactics on an enemy, like doing damage up close and being able to escape without a scratch. However she can't take too many hits other wise she'd be in trouble. So there's my reasoning.
Next chapter will be Zak VS Yang, and it's gonna be an utter slugfest! Two strong fighters are definitely gonna tear up the ring when the fight starts. Quite laterally now that I think about it.
So I hope you enjoyed the chapter and be sure to leave me you're thoughts on the story so far and I apologise if I'm dragging these recent chapters out but I wanted each chapter a fight with each RWBY member. But be sure to leave me your thoughts on the story, a bit of feedback can go along way.
So until then, I'll see ya next time!
Cronus Prime Out!
