White Fang Secret Train (Morning)
"Oh, still feisty. So, what are we gonna do now?" Torchwick asked, still trapped by Ivy and Blake. He turned his head to look at the faunus. "Do you really think a little bow on top of your head will make people forget what you were? What you've done?"
"Ivy, go on ahead. I'll keep him busy." Blake said, an angered look on her face.
"Got it." the Maiden said, walking toward the door. Suddenly, she held her chest in pain as she fell onto her knees. A golden aura surrounded her before shattering, turning into particles of light that shot backwards to where the group originally came in from.
"What the hell was that?" Blake asked, turning to her friend while still keeping her weapon at Torchwick's throat.
"Dominic." Ivy said, breathing heavily from the withdrawal of power. "He's fighting someone."
White Fang Secret Train (Morning)
Raven knew who she was facing. She just didn't expect him to be so strong.
Dominic had burned his way through the metal walls of the train once he sensed the woman's presence. The sclera in his working eye turned pitch-black, and it's iris started glowing crimson. With a feral scream, he lunged at Raven like a wild animal. She had no time to react as a clawed hand tore into her Aura, sending her flying out the cabin through the back door. The bandit used the sheath of her weapon to take the brunt of the impact with the tracks as she tumbled on the ground. With a snarl, Dominic jumped out of the door as well to continue the battle.
"I know you have Ivy." Raven said.
"And I know you only want her power." Dominic shot back, his voice becoming a mere imitation of what a human should sound like. "Don't bother. She's under my protection. If you want to kill her, you'll have to kill me first."
"Who's the faunus who led her to you? And why does he follow you?" Raven asked, remembering the young man that attacked her.
"Shadow and I have quite a bit in common. Our lives were both ruined by your tribe." the blonde explained. "A few years back, you raided a small village near the coast of Anima. When you were done, you left them to be ravaged by Grimm. Only one survivor was left."
"Your little friend." the woman deduced.
"He and I came to an agreement. He would take Ivy away from you, and I would restrict your power over her with my semblance so you'd be forced to come here physically." Opening his hand, Scarlet Showstopper appeared in Dominic's grip. Though, it's red color had darkened, and the blade was serrated now. "Once you got here, I'd finish you off."
"You really think you can kill me?" Raven asked.
"It's not a thought. It's inevitable." Dominic raised his sword, then slashed at the empty air in front of him hundreds of times in quick succession, sending a barrage of Sword Beams at the Branwen. Raven had no time to counter, and was launched backwards 50 meters from the explosion. A fierce expression on her face, she opened a portal to try and escape. "Bad move. TIME BREAK!"
Once again, time was stopped. Raven was stuck just out of reach from her portal. Dominic walked over to her, punched her as hard as he could in the gut, then let time resume. Out of seemingly nowhere, a bone-breaking pain burned through Raven's body. She looked up at the blonde, who was smiling as he stood over her.
"Pathetic." Dominic said as he crushed Raven's arm with his foot. "You always say the strong survive and the weak die, right? Let's see if you have at least enough self-respect to live up to that standard." The pyromancer lowered his palm to the bandit's face, preparing to unleash an explosion of flames.
Before he could, Raven used her free hand to grab her weapon and sliced through Dominic's elbow, severing it.
White Fang Secret Train (Morning)
Connor, enshrouded by dark magic, blasted the White Fang member with a stream of black lightning from his staff. "You're in my way." the Sorcerer said blankly to the faunus. "If you allow me to proceed to the next room, no further harm will come to your being."
"Screw off. I'm not letting you or you stupid sister leave this room in anything but a body bag." the man growled, making Connor sigh. The Schnee put Weiss down. Seconds later, her body glowed in a rainbow of colors before vanishing. "Where'd she go?"
"Someplace where our conflict won't disturb her." Connor replied simply. He then raised his staff toward his opponent, shooting another beam of lightning. The White Fang member took the attack, using his fists as a shield. The power of the magic attack was too strong, though. It corroded his Aura like rust on metal.
"AGH!" he cried as the lightning dissipated. "What the hell are you?" he asked. His semblance had never been challenged in terms of strength by anyone except Sienna Khan herself. For a kid to accomplish that...
"I have bore many titles in the past. Prodigy, Sorcerer, Outcast, Pariah, Knight, Martyr." Connor said as shadows took over the entire room, covering everything in darkness. Red markings carved themselves into his forehead, and his sclera turned dark purple. "But the only thing you need to know is that anyone who opposes my family, friend or foe, must face the consequences. Now, PLEASE DISAPPEAR FOREVER!"
The metal walls and ceiling shattered, but instead of the rocky tunnel the train was rushing through, the outside appeared as a night sky littered with stars and planets. A handful of the celestial bodies transformed into glowing pink spears with hearts at the pommel. The Heart Spears all pointed at the White Fang member, then shot at him like comets. The faunus tried using his semblance as a shield again, this time succeeding in deflecting Connor's magic.
The boy began smirking as he launched another barrage of Heart Spears. He was so engaged in the fight, that he barely noticed the frozen over planet in the distance.
