He rushed forward in a blur of black his shadow wreathed fist slamming into Blakes gut, she felt the air leave her lungs before she was lifted and thrown to the other side of the ring, she twisted and landed in a crouch and got into a fighting stance glaring at Jason as he turned to face her. Shadows were leaking from his hood shrouding his face in darkness, save for blood red eyes that glared at her, immediately Blake realized that Jason was like nothing she had ever faced before, and the realization may have come too late.

RWBY-Pleasant

Chapter 5

Blake felt a deep sense of dread settle in as Jason drew the twin gladius' from their sheaths at his hips, they were both pitch black, how fitting, thought Blake sarcastically she was about to rush forward and take him by surprise when Jason made a gesture and Blake felt something tug on her ankle, she looked down to see a tendril of shadows wrapped around it.

"What the… OH SHI-" Blake realized what was to happen just as she was yanked into the air before being slammed back down into the ground, hard.

A collective 'oooh' left the audience as the ground where Blake hit cracked, laying on her back Blake opened her eyes in time to see Jason reach down, lift her up and throw in the air, as she came back down, using the flat side of his blades, he slammed his Gladuis' into Blake's stomach sending her flying into the stall wall where a wall of shadows launched from Jason slammed into her, she peeled off the wall leaving a Blake shaped indent in her place.

Already her Aura was in the orange, and she hadn't even landed a blow. Standing slowly Blake regarded her opponent, she saw him disappear in a swirl of shadows, she looked around waiting for him to appear, she heard something behind her, she whirled around ready to confront him, only to receive a shadow wreathed roundhouse kick to the temple, she saw nothing but black after that.

Val cringed slightly as the kick slammed into Blake's head, she had been hit with one of those when Jason was unfortunately possessed by a remnant, it surprisingly didn't tickle, I need to work on my sarcasm again, she looked over to RWY and saw them with anger, shock and a little bit of fear in their eyes. Their team mate had been trounced, they were not taking that laying down.

Glynda who was refereeing the 'match' just looked on in shock at the beat down she had just witnessed, clearing her throat she motioned for a couple of doctors to take Blake to the infirmary, from what she had been told by Valkyrie of the power of Jason's shadow wreathed strikes internal injuries were likely.

She looked at her scroll to see who was fighting next then she cleared her throat.

"In 15 minutes we will have Miss Rose fight Mr Scythe" from where she was stood Glynda saw Ruby go slightly more pale than usual.

Jason just sat in the middle of the ring again allowing himself to relax a bit before facing the reaper, he heard someone approaching and looked up to see Val walking towards him, he stood up as she reached him.

"You know if you keep fighting like this you'll scare everyone away"

"A shame, I really wanted to fight some of the other students in this establishment" Val sighed

"I've said it once I'll say it again, you have a disturbing fixation with fighting."

"Miss Cain please leave the ring the next match is about to begin" came Goodwitch's voice.

Valkyrie nodded absentmindedly and gave Jason a light peck on the cheek

"For good luck" she said with a smile. Jason smiled as he stood up

"Ahhh that woman."

Ruby made her way to the ring as she watched Val make her way back to the stands. She gave the young woman a nod of acknowledgment which was returned, Ruby didn't know what to think of Valkyrie, on one hand she had put her in the hospital, on the other she was actually trying to make up for it. Jason on the other hand, well…

He had a lot of ground to make up.

Ruby reached the ring and Jason stood up drawing his dual gladius' again before settling into a stance, his knees bent, one sword held normally the other in a reverse grip, it was a new stance different to the one he assumed when fighting Blake. Ruby readied crescent rose as she observed Jason, she watched to see any muscle movement to indicate an attack, there was none when the attack came.

Jason's eyes went the same deep red they went when fighting Blake, then a tendril of shadow lanced towards Ruby swatting her off her feet. Ruby managed to get her feet under her and land in a crouch she looked up to see a gladius sailing towards her face ducking she twirled and lashed out with the scythe, the blunt side of the heavy weapon slamming into Jason's back, she smiled but that was immediately washed off by a wave of shadows exploding from his back and slamming into her face. Ruby was sent skidding across the ground before she came to a halt on her back she sat up rubbing her back before looking back at Jason, he waved his arm towards her and a hail of black arrows flew towards her, she darted away and the arrows lacerated where she was moments ago. Wondering what to do now she didn't notice the shadows whirl around next to her, she felt the fist to her jaw though. When she was able to get her senses back Jason grabbed her leg then single handedly lifted her into the air before slamming her into the floor face first, he then threw her into the wall. Ruby felt the air leave her lungs she heard a sound indicating her aura was low, she rushed forward hoping to catch him by surprise but when she swung her weapon it connected with nothing but air as Jason jumped over the scythe before kicking her in the temple and like Blake her world went black.

Yang could feel her blood pumping like liquid fire through her veins, Ruby, her sweet innocent little sister has just been absolutely annihilated by this ass hole. Her friend and partner Blake had been decimated barely 20 minutes before hand, she heard the announcement of the next match.

"Miss Xiao Long VS Mr Scythe" she grinned at the prospect of this fight, but deep down she couldn't shake the feeling in her gut, a feeling that was foreign to her.

Fear.

Jason didn't take notice of who he would fight next, he wanted to surprise himself. When he heard footsteps he looked up see Yang making her way to the ring she was eyeing Ruby who was being carted out on a stretcher to the infirmary again, Jason looked at Yang taking in her movements and actions, one thing was clear.

She, was, pissed.

Jason stood up and drew his Gladius.

"You're going to pay for what you did to my partner and sister you bastard" Yang spat as she readied Ember celica, Jason titled his head to the side and shrugged in a 'don't care' sought of way, further enraging the blond girl.

The claxon sounded and Yang shot forward like a cannon ball, Jason ducked the punch and blocked the uppercut rushing to meet his face, he the swept at Yang's legs sending her sprawling, she rolled away from the stomp that followed but not the boot that met her nose. There was a dry snapping sound as blood gushed from her broken nose, tears in her eyes Yang was a sitting duck as Jason's gladius' landed blow after blow against her aura, followed by a pillar of shadow upper cutting her into the air. Yang landed flat on her back, she got to her feet again her eyes now clear and her aura flared, her eyes glowing crimson and her hair looking like it was on fire. She raced forward to knock him out but he ducked and she felt a blade of shadows pass by her cheek, she turned to face him and saw several locks of golden hair on the ground. Time seemed to slow down as she realized what had happened.

"You…" Jason looked at her confused while the rest of the arena waited with bated breath.

"YOU MOTHER FUCKER" she roared and leapt at Jason closing the distance in the blink of an eye and slammed her fist into his face, Jason was sent sailing through the air and landed in a heap on the other end of the arena. He slowly rose and when he did he was chuckling, this rose in volume and pitch until it was a maniacal laugh that sent chills down the spines of every person in the room.

"So, you got me… I hope it was worth It." he said eventually once his chuckles had ceased. He rocketed forward like a bullet train the shadows coiling around him turning him into a human Javelin, said Javelin slammed into Yang and exploded in a wave of darkness, Yang was sent flying into the air she saw Jason disappear in a maelstrom of shadows, only to appear directly behind her and kick her in the back of the head with a shadow wreathed combat boot sending her face first into the arena floor, knocking her out.

Ozpin was sat in the stands watching the fights happen, he had guessed that both Jason and Valkyrie were versed in combat due to how they handled themselves in the forest, and how they acted around the school. But never did he imagine that even one of them would be this…Brutal. He was attacking and disabling his opponents without remorse or mercy, stopping only to set himself up for his next round of attacks, Ozpin found himself admiring the young man's skills and efficiency in battle.

He looked to his left and caught sight of Valkyrie cain, he had yet to truly see her fight but if what he had gleamed from her fight in the woods was any indication, she was just as deadly as her partner.

Weiss felt her eye twitch in anger, Blake, Ruby and now Yang had all been bested by this man, she felt her anger growing, this was not how it was meant to a happen, they were meant to show him the error of his ways, teach him a lesson in respect, instead he was beating them to a bloody pulp without even breaking a sweat. This scared Weiss. This meant he must have extensive battle experience to do this to them with the brutality and efficiency he was displaying. Weiss saw looked on as Yang was carted out on a stretcher and readied herself for the fight of her life.

So what do you think, I wanted to make this a two parter because, why not. Any who some of you may be 'how is he beating RWBY' so easily. Well don't forget that he has been with skulduggery and the gang since playing with fire, so therefore he has been with the during nearly all of their major fights plus whatever scuffles he got into before then, so he has a lot of experience to draw on from this. Plus necromancy is naturally powerful so that means he has a natural advantage with his discipline anyway.

Ruby: he is still OP

Me: yes for now, but everyone will soon catch up with him don't you worry.

Jason: yay… wait what?
