Random Trivia: Carmine Noir was originally going to be a mercenary who promised a dying Onyx that he would protect the Shard of the Riders.
Red and Onyx fly an airship.
"This airship is a piece of shit." Red rants, "That what it is! A piece of shit!"
Another airship flies nearby.
"We got a hostile scan on us." Onyx states, "'They got valuable cargo'."
Red looks around the ship.
"No I don't. I... I literally don't have valuable cargo. I don't have anything valuable on this... Whatever... Fuck you, let's do this." Red says.
Red's voice is filled with boredom. The airship systems shut down. Onyx and Red are in free fall. Red stays silent for a few seconds.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...!" Red yells.
The airship reactivates and Red pulls up. The airship systems deactivate again.
"I can't do this... I can't do this anymore..." Red says, "I don't wanna fly this ship anymore."
Red voice is filled with boredom again. He looks at the approaching ground.
"Is this the end of Red?" Red asks, still not caring about the danger.
The airship's system reactivate and Red pulls up. Some time later the airship shuts down again.
"I think you should just give up on it." Onyx suggests.
"Fuuuuuuu..." Red says.
Red grabs one of the pistols of Redemption's Edge and aims it at his chin.
"No!" Onyx says as he takes the gun.
Red starts to weakly attempt to take the weapon back. The airship reactivates again.
"Fuck this ship!" Red yells.
The airship shuts down again.
"He said fuck you too." Onyx jokes.
"Fuck this ship!" Red repeats, "Fucking piece of shi...!"
-Present Day-
Onyx modified Dark Sympathy's guard to be a dial for selecting Dust types. Onyx also removed the blades from the weapon. Onyx holster his swords on his bracers. Dark Vengeance was also given a dial for Dust type. While holstered, the dust selected on Dark Sympathy also affect Dark Vengeance. Onyx retired Alternative Retribution and Dead Redemption just like Redemption's Edge. Onyx, Light, and Team RWBY stand in a clearing in the Emerald Forest. Onyx faces against Light as Team RWBY spectate.
"Are you sure about this?" Ruby asks.
"I need to test the improvements." Onyx states.
"But retiring a weapon like that... seems wrong." Ruby says.
"Why?" Onyx asks.
"Weapons are an extension of ourselves. You can't just throw them away." Ruby states.
"My first weapon belonged to Rider, Redemption's Edge belonged to Red, Alternative Retribution belonged to the Rider, Dark Vengeance and Dark Sympathy belonged to Carmine Noir, Dead Retribution also belonged to Red." Onyx says.
"With the modifications that Schnee assisted me in creating, I finally have a weapon that truly is an extension of myself." Onyx states.
Ruby nods to show that she understands.
"Now... Whenever you're ready." Onyx says.
Light draws his blade and shield while Onyx crosses his arms and forms two ninjatÅ blades made of pure aura from Dark Sympathy which is still attached to Dark Vengeance. Onyx's aura was now black with a crimson glow. Onyx made Dark Sympathy able to channel his Rider abilities, allowing him to use them while not in the Shadow Zone.
"Woah..." Ruby reacts.
"I doubted it would work." Weiss states.
Onyx switches the right dial to Fire Dust and the left one to Ice Dust. This causes the blades to become fiery and crystalline, respectively. Onyx activates the blades on Dark Vengeance, having similar effects to that of Dark Sympathy.
"I won't be holding back." Light states.
Onyx dashes at Light with blinding speed. Light blocks Onyx's strike and forces him backwards. Light fires his Railgun at Onyx, who dodges by backflipping. Light charges at Onyx and swings his sword. Onyx leans backwards, avoiding the attack. Onyx jumps backwards to gain some distance.
"Good... Your reaction time is just like how it was when you were twelve." Light says.
"And that's a good thing?" Yang asks.
"My mental barriers slowed down my reaction time." Onyx says.
Onyx draws Dark Sympathy and charges at Light again. Light dodges by jumping over Onyx. Onyx backflips into the air and aura slashes at the combatant below. The Dust effect the slashes creating a fiery and icy wave. Light dematerializes into a ball of light to avoid the attack, re-materializing when the smoke from the slashes clear. Onyx reattaches Dark Sympathy to Dark Vengeance and fires an aura blast out of the bracer. Onyx hits a nearby tree.
"Woah...! Your aim is bad." Yang says.
"My hit/miss percentage is 99.99990005666786932." Onyx states.
"Um... What...?" Ruby reacts.
"I've only ever missed once, and that was when Night readjusted my aim with polarity." Onyx states.
"So why did you shoot the tree?" Ruby asks.
Onyx had shot the tree with an incendiary round, lighting the tree on fire.
"Flame's semblance." Onyx says.
Onyx crosses his arm and stands completely straight. He uses Flame's semblance to manipulate the fire to create a phoenix. Onyx maneuvers the phoenix behind him and floats into the air. Light gets into a defensive stance to prepare for Onyx's attack.. Onyx then spreads his arms out, forming a T with his body. Onyx launched himself at Light. Light blocks with his shield, but the resulting explosion knocks everyone down. Onyx is the first to rise, followed by Light, then Team RWBY.
"You didn't have to take down all of our aura with his you know!" Weiss says.
Onyx looks at his scroll. His own aura is completely depleted. Luckily the accelerated healing caused by the Shard of the Riders had been completed, so Onyx's arm didn't dissolve.
"Eternal Chaos." Onyx says.
"What?" Ruby says.
"That is what Flame called that move." Light states.
"It drains all my aura so it's purely intended as a finishing move." Onyx states.
"That seems... effective." Weiss says, "If you're trying to kill yourself!"
"It is also his strongest technique." Light states.
"That's why you've never seen me use it." Onyx says.
Onyx turns towards Light.
"You have abandoned your vow," Light states, "and as such, have broken the mental barriers locking your power."
Onyx looks at his bracers.
"It time I get moving." Onyx says.
Light nods and Onyx opens a portal. The portal is black with a crimson glow.
"Umbra is growing stronger." Onyx states.
"Then you must act quickly." Light says.
