Ch.10 Week Off Canceled We Have a Tournament
Raine let out a yawn as he walked towards the giant ass stadium the Vytal Festival Tournament was being held in. Taking a glance at his watch Raine let out a sigh. It had only been two days since Ozpin canceled the week off. He had forgotten about the tournament due to the whole Kreg incident and who could blame him. Anyways Ironwood had pulled a few strings and made it to where Raine was going to compete in the Tournament as a one man team. Raine didn't really have a choice in the matter. Ironwood simply told him that he was going to participate no matter what. To make matters worse Raine had no weapons on him at the moment he had sent his pistols to a friend for some upgrades since his other weapons had been destroyed. Boarding the little hover craft that would take him to the entrance of the stadium. Raine went over the order of the tournament fights in his head. First team RWBY would fight then the team that has that Cinder chick on it. Followed by team JNPR then team SSSN and finally Drake would fight. Walking into the bleachers after getting off the craft Drake saw Ruby and the girls match start. To say the least the fight was pretty epic but Drake wasn't really paying attention. The next two matches seemed to go by in a blur until finally it was Drake's turn to fight. Walking out into the center of the stadium Drake watched as his opponents approached. Professor Oobleck voice came over the speakers "Ok! Next up is Raine Blueblood a one man team who is going up against team DUSK consisting of Daphne Sky, Ulric Johnson, Silica Sanders, Kyle West. Now let the match begin!"
As soon as the signal was given the holographic randomizes came up. Raine's side of the field was chosen to be dense forest while the opposite side was mountain. The other team came at him all at once. Raine dodged most of their attacks but Ulric got in a lucky shot with his giant ass hammer. Raine went flying towards the mountains. Crashing into the side of one Raine let out a moan before pushing himself up. Silica was already onto of him with her teammates close behind. She was ready to attack him with her spike brass knuckles but Raine grabbed her face. He lifted Silica off the ground and with a swing off his arm sent his downwards into the rocky surface. Following that Raine delivered a swift kick into her gut sending her flying into her teammates. As the three others tumbled backwards by Silica's body a chime went off letting everyone know that Silica was out of aura and was out of the match. Before Silica left she gave her brass knuckles to Daphne who combine them with her twin swords to make them well swords with brass knuckle handles. Anyways Daphne seemed to be hanging back while the other two came at Raine with full force. Ulric's hammer turned into a battleaxe and he started swinging at Raine. While Kyle had a spear but the head of it was made up of three different type of dust crystal melded together was shooting fucking lighting bolts at him. Raine was backed up into a corner with a mountain at his back and two guys with weapons in front of him. As Ulric swung at him to deliver a blow Raine quickly slid to his knees and went under the hammer and between Ulric's legs. Sprinting full force at Kyle Raine stretched out his right arm and closed lined him. Picking up the winded man above his head Raine brought him back down slamming Kyle's back into his knee. After of which Raine quickly spun around and used poor Kyle as a human shield against Ulric's attack. The chime went off followed by a comment from Oobleck about friendly fire. Raine jumped back from Ulric who changed his axe back into hammer form. While Kyle's spear floated over to Daphne who clipped his swords onto each side of the spear head. She had an eerie smile on her face but Raine couldn't focus on that as Ulric brought his hammer to the ground with a might whack. The ground started to shack and all of a sudden spikes started to sprout up from it heading in Raine's direction at a quick pace. Barely dodging the spikes Raine wasn't able to counter the hammer attack that slammed into his face. Everything went upside down as Raine flipped through the air a couple time before crashing into the forest. Ulric charged into the woods to find him and finish him off. The board showing the aura levels showed Ulric at twenty-five, Daphne at ninety, and Raine at a eighty even after all of the attacks he's taken. This little fact caught Cinder's eye as she watched from the bleachers.
Ulric was lost currently not being able to see anything but grass and trees. Until Raine uprooted a tree and used it as a club to send Ulric flying depleting the last of his aura. Raine bent down to pick up the hammer but it went flying out of his reach. Chasing after it Raine came to the center of the stadium where Daphne was standing. She had inserted the spear/sword contraption into the hilt of the hammer which was now in axe form. So on on end she had a dust spear with two swords on each side of it and on the other side a giant war axe. Pointing the spear end at Raine, Daphne fired a huge beam of lighting. Diving to the side Raine watched as the beam obliterated an entire mountain to dust. Raine quickly realized that the swords acted as some kind of conductors amplifying the dust spear attacks. Rushing Daphne, Raine quickly landed a couple of punched but she whacked him with the axe sending him stumbling backwards. Sadly Raine wasn't able to recover his footing fast enough and Daphne unleashed a beam of fire and lighting towards him. The attack landed home sending Raine flying through three mountains before he landed on the ground and rolled near the edge of the arena. Getting up Raine had made decided to use his dust abilities seeing as that attack had taken his aura levels from eighty to thirty in one hit. Daphne landed in front of Raine and said "Well looks like I win." She slammed the axe part of her weapon into the ground. A column of rock came up from Raine's feet. His fist a lit with fire and he crashed them into the pillar shattering it into pieces. While he was detracted Daphne fired off another laser of dust at him. Daphne's cocky smirk didn't stay on her face seeing as Raine had deflected her attack away from him and into the wall of the stadium. Before anything else could happen Raine sprinted in front of her, grabbing her shoulders, pulling her chest down into an ice spiked knee. Raine then picked her up by the throat and flung her as hard as he could towards the wall of the stadium. While she was in mid flight Raine picked her weapon up and fired a beam of energy at her. The beam hit her mid flight driving her into the wall faster than anyone could see.
The chime went off acknowledging that team DUSK was beaten. "Well that was one hell of a fight! Don't you think Port!?" Oobleck asked his co-announcer
"That was quite a fight indeed. Raine took the full blunt force of one of the strongest dust weapons in this tournament. If that attack had hit anyone else they would have been gravely damaged." Port responded.
"Anyways that is it for the fights for today! Come back tomorrow to see the next stage of the Vytal Festival Tournament!" Oobleck announced as everyone began to leave.
Raine left the stadium to get some food. He was sitting at a bench chowing on a hamburger when Cinder and her underlings approached him. Watching them out of the corner of his eye.
"So what are you?" Cinder asked sitting down next to him.
"What do you mean?" Raine inquired
"Well you were able to take that beam of pure dust energy and walk it off along with the fact that you were able to generate fire and ice with out he use of dust crystals." Cinder stated
"Oh that! Well I'm a freak of nature. If that helps." Raine responded
"What do mean by freak of nature?" Emerald asked this time
Sighing Raine got up and said as he walked away "I'm just a freak of nature. If you really want to know go ask your friends on team RWBY they'll tell you." With that Raine was gone. He disappeared into the crowd of people coming to congratulate the teams who won.
"Neo and I will advance to the two versus two rounds. I want to see what this Raine character can do up close in personal. While we do that Emerald, you and Mercury will talk to the members of RWBY and find out what Raine Blueblood is." Cinder said completely unaware of what happened a couple days ago since her and her team were busy robbing a military facility when Kreg took over Beacon.
Raine walked over to where team RWBY and JNPR were sitting. They were some what surrounded by fans. Believe it not people were actual asking for autographs. Raine chuckled this was quite a sight to behold. Yang had a smug look on her face, Ruby was shy as hell mumbling and stuttering to answer question after question. Weiss just seemed pissed off and annoyed, and Blake was reading a book ignoring everyone. While Jaune had a smirk on his face boasting about the win, Nora was going on about pancakes to everyone, Ren just gave simple answers to the questions people were asking him, and Pyrrha was simply used to this type of situation. Raine sat down next to Yang trying to blend in as just a customer of the food station that they were seated at. That was until Weiss saw him and pointed at him saying "Look it's Raine Blueblood the guy who beat team DUSK all by himself!"
"You ratted me out you traitor!" Raine shouted at Weiss as he was swarmed by people.
"Weiss that was kind of mean don't you think?" Ruby inquired as Raine tried to get away from the clutches of the horde of people.
"Nope. Not at all." Weiss answered calmly enjoying the peace of not having anyone bother her.
Raine took off for a place to hide since it was getting pretty crowded with all those people surrounding him. Sighing Raine sat down under a tree near the festival grounds. He was out of site. Hidden from anyone who wanted to bother him. A couple people were one thing but a whole crowd of jazzed up fans who were trying to grab him were a different matter.
"Having trouble?" A voice asked him
Looking up Raine saw a girl wearing a purple cloak over a t-shirt and a regular pair of jeans. Standing up Raine prepared himself for whatever might come next.
"Who are you?" He asked
"I'm Alice the girl you killed." She responded
Raine's eyes shot open. "How the hell are you ever alive!? I literally ripped your chest open!" He yelled shocked by this turn of events.
"Well you see you only killed an after image of me. You see when I turned back time before you killed Kreg I left the me from the time line where you killed Kreg as a decoy just encase you came after me." Alice said
"Then why not turn back time again and again until Kreg won?" Raine asked
"Besides being able to fast forward and rewind time. I can also see the possible outcomes for every move anyone makes. So I can see multiple possible futures all at the same time. I looked but there was no future where Kreg beat you. He simply wasn't strong enough. So now that you have killed him you are my master now." Alice answered
"What master?" Raine questioned
"Yes. Whoever kills my previous master becomes my new master but first they must go through five tests to see if they are worthy." Alice said
"Ok. So what are the tests?" Raine asked
Alice put her hand on Raine's shoulder and before he knew it they had teleported to a pure white room.
"Ok two questions. One where are we? Two what are you?" Raine asked looking around.
"We are at the cross roads of time. You see the tests require you to survive in different timelines." Alice answered as she waved her hand making a door appear. She pulled Raine over to it. "In this timeline Creatures of Grimm never existed nether does dust. In this world there are no monsters except people. You see in this timeline the rich own the poor as slaves. This is your first test survive this world for five days and you shall complete test one. As for your second question I am a god of time"
"What about my timeline what going to happen there?" Raine asked as Alice opened the door and started to push him into it.
"When you have completed the tests you shall be returned to the very moment we left." Alice responded pushing Raine through the open door.
There was a blinding white light as Raine when through the door. As he came out on the other side he felt the slash of a whip strike his back and he heard a loud voice boom over an intercom.
"Alright slaves line up! Today we have four very rich families coming to choice slaves for their daughters birthdays and you lot are the items on the market so line up and look pretty!
Looking around Raine saw that he was in a dirty warehouse along with multiple other people. Unlike him though they were dressed in rags. Raine was then forcefully pushed into line by a guard who was screaming at him to get moving not noticing that Raine was dressed in a red t-shirt and black jeans not rags like the rest of the people in the line. "Great! Good job Raine you killed Kreg and now you are in a timeline where the poor are slaves to the rich so you can past a test to see if you are worthy to control a god of time! Fucking perfect!. Raine thought but his thoughts were interrupted as the doors to the entrance opened and walked in four very familiar faces along with their families. The last thought to enter Raine's mind as the four families walked in was "Oh fuck me!"
Ok I feel like this got kinda of random near the end and I have no excuse if it did. Anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Maniac out!
