RWBY-Pleasant

Chapter 6

Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company and huntress in training, walked down to the arena with as much pride as possible after watching her three closest friends get beat down one after the other.

The perpetrator was sat calmly in the centre watching her descend to face him, she did not know why but she felt an unfamiliar feeling settle in the pit of her stomach, something her father told her would be the down fall of any man.

Doubt.

She was beginning to doubt she could beat this man, her three friends, each capable huntress' in their own right had failed to defeat him, how was she going to defeat this man.

She looked behind her to the door where her friends were wheeled away on stretchers. No she thought I will beat him, for them.

She entered the ring drawing myrtenaster as she neared her target, Jason eyed her carefully seeming to watch her every move like a predator. Weiss stopped walking and looked Jason dead in the eyes Jason returned her icy stare and slowly a smile crept over his lips.

"I hope you're ready frosty knickers" and like that Weiss' doubt was replaced by anger. The claxon sounded and Weiss shot forward seeking to take the advantage but she slammed face first into a shadow wall. Who put that truck there, she thought groggily before realizing it was a wall of shadows. Suddenly Jason bursts through the wall running at her, as he reaches her he grabs her by the neck comes to a stop and chokeslams her to the ground. Weiss recovers quickly summoning a glyph to protect herself from the follow up attack she twirls and gets back to her feet. She observes her opponent more carefully. His shadows are just like my glyphs they can be used for offense, defense and maneuverability, how to counter him. Weiss decides to try and stay on the offensive. She noticed in the previous matches her friends were unable to maintain an offense. So with a flourish of her arm she summons a fire glyph where Jason is standing he back flips away from it as it explodes right into a black glyph that immobilizes him, finding himself unable to move Jason's expression turns confused before Weiss rushes forward thrusting Myrtenaster into his torso releasing him from the glyph and sending him flying backwards. She then summons another glyph this time a water glyph, a film of water appears in front Jason as he rushes Weiss he loses his footing slightly and fights to right himself he looks up to receive two boots to the face, Weiss then pushes off using the momentum to twirl around and land in a crouch shoving Myrtenaster into the ground sending ice cascading towards her opponent, unable to move in time Jason becomes incased in ice.

Smiling thinking she has the upper hand Weiss allows herself a moment to gloat.

"Is that all you've got?" this turns out to be a big mistake.

The ice gains a dark quality before it starts to shake and suddenly explodes in a shower of ice shards, Jason is stood their arms dangling at his sides his eyes burning crimson under his hood and behind him is a massive raven made entirely of shadows.

"WHAT THE-" Weiss cries before the shadow raven rushes towards her, too stunned to move she is unable to dodge the attack, the raven stream lines itself before slamming into colliding with Weiss and merging itself with her, Weiss looks down at herself seeing shadows course all over her body before they explode outwards in a wave of shadows causing serious damage to her aura, she knew instinctively that if she had not had her aura up that attack would have killed her. Suddenly feeling very weak Weiss collapses to her knees she feels a presence step in front of her, she looks up and sees Jason stood there, shadows gather in the air and with a gesture they shoot forward like a pillar of rock into Weiss' face, knocking the dust heiress unconscious.

Valkyrie felt icy fingers crawl down her spine when Jason unleashed that Raven attack, it was a deadly technique that causes serious internal damage, however when the infirmary staff move to take the heiress away, she is glad to hear there are no internal injuries. Valkyrie looks at Jason as he leaves the arena she makes her way down to him.

"You didn't hold back"

"Neither did they."

"They are kids training to be warriors, we are warriors trained from a young age to fight and if necessary to kill to help keep the world in peace."

"… My point still stands" Jason replied eventually, Valkyrie slapped him upside his head and they both left the arena.

Ruby felt her eyes open and looked around finding herself once again in beacon's infirmary. Damn it what happened? Ruby looked over to see Weiss, Yang and Blake start to come too as they all groggily sat up.

"Ahhh, what happened?"

"Don't know but did you catch where that train came from"

"Don't know but it got me too." That's when the doors opened and Valkyrie walked in, suddenly everything came back, the fight, the beating, and the pain.

"He won didn't he?" Ruby asked sulkily

"I did warn you guys"

"God damn it, how, how did he beat us? I've never lost before" Yang pouted

"I would wager a guess it would have something to do with this 'magic', he utilized it extremely effectively and he looks like he has experience fighting" said Blake thoughtfully

"11 years" the girls looked at Valkyrie curiously "I've known him eleven years and in those years he has fought, spirits, monsters, gods… and worse" Valkyrie thoughts turned to Darquesse before banishing such thoughts quickly.

"You can't be serious" challenged Weiss incredulously

"I am dead serious, he has fought monsters in caverns beneath my grand fathers house, he has fought vessels of gods known as the facesless ones, fought in a war between former brothers in arms, he even helped stop a darkness that I unleashed" said Valkyrie quietly

"What do you mean" asked Blake curiously, Valkyrie wonders if she should tell them, she looks them over.

"If I tell you guys do you promise not to tell anyone and not to judge?" they looked to each other and back at Val

"We promise to keep it a secret, as for judging you we will have to see what it is you want to tell us" Val nods and begins to talk

"It started when I was 15, psychics had-"

"Sorry who" questioned Ruby.

"They are a sect of sorcerers whose discipline allows them visions of the future"

"Oh"

"Anyway psychics all around the world had begun having visions of a sorceress named Darquesse, destroying the world-"

"Wait literally" questioned Yang.

"Yes, as in turn the world into a ball of cinder"

"Damn"

"Any who, after saving a stadium full of people I have a dream, which is more like a suppressed memory, It shows a fight I had when I first began magic when I was 12, I see a book called the book of names, which holds every person the three names of every person on Earth, fall to the floor and I glimpse my true name." seeing the girls confused faces Valkyrie explains

"Where we are from everyone has three names, their given name, given to them by their parents, this can be used by a skilled sorcerer to control someone. A taken name is a name a sorcerer takes to protect themselves from this. Then you have your true name, buried deep in your subconscious. If someone finds out what this is they can use it to have absolute control over your every decision and action, but if you discover your own true name you can use it to become extremely powerful because your true name is the source of your magic and knowing your true name is like going to the source." The girls look at Val with surprised expressions.

"My true name as it so happens, was Darquesse"

"So…wait… you were-"

"Destined to turn planet Earth into a floating ball of cindered rock" came a voice behind Val as Jason entered the conversation. The 4 girls of RWBY glared at him menacingly still angry about his attitude towards them and their loses in their matches, but deciding to stay quiet for now.

"After a while Skulduggery and I learned about this and we both vowed to help her overcome this, because we may have seen a vision of Darquesse destroying the world but the future is not set in stone, it can be changed."

"Yes so after a couple of crises where me and Jackass helped save the world-"

"HEY"

"And a few instances where Darquesse took control of my body, our sanctuary with the eventual help of a few others ended up in state of war with all the other sanctuaries in the world."

"During a mission to Africa, a continent in our world, Valkyrie was cornered by a load of witches and was about to be killed… Darquesse used this to get free"

"The war ended and Darquesse used the chaos afterwards to disappear and plot and plan, eventually we had a final show down in Roarhaven."

Jason clutched his sides and cried in pain as he was slammed into a wall, he summoned a wall of shadows to block the stream of energy Darquesse sent his way directly afterwards, he felt himself getting weak, he knew he wouldn't last much longer.

"Now then Jason, it has been fun, but I need to find little old Val and make myself whole again"

"Not… on… my… watch"

"Oh trying to play hero again are we, well what is it that Tanith says." Darquesse smirks at him but before she can speak Jason looks at her his eyes flashing crimson.

"Come and have a go if you think your hard enough." With that he launches himself at Darquesse his remaining gladius coming down in a diagonal arc, Darquesse merely steps out of the way before sending a wave of magic crashing into Jason. Howling in pain he is sent crashing into another building.

"Darquesse!" Someone shouts looking up Darquesse is forced to dodge a bolt of black lightning sent her way by Valkyrie Cain, Jason allows himself a small smile despite the situation, displaying his bloodied teeth to the world.

"If you want me I'm right here!"

"Val no run now-" Jason felt something crash into him and his world turn black

"After that I was out of the fight, I later learned that a group of psychics had managed to trick Darquesse into a dream like state where she destroyed everything and eventually she opened a portal to another dimension and left, the troubling thing is she did that in real life."

"That is… quite the tale" said Ruby slowly

"It is indeed but, now why are you here Jason, I thought you said you were going to our dorm room" the 5 girls direct their gaze to the lone boy.

"I was but I decided to drop by and see how these guys were doing, I need to know what condition you are in for what is to come."

"What do you mean?" asked Weiss suspiciously

"Me and Valkyrie have been talking and we have decided that tomorrow, you're training in the magical arts begins, we will discover your preferred discipline, and help you master it."

"But these lessons are not going to be free because you guys are going to teach us something in return."

"What would that be" asked Ruby

"You guys are going to help us train our Aura"

Somewhere in the forests of Vale a dark figure meditated as a small smile crept over their face.

"You may have tricked me once Valkyrie, but that won't happen again. Soon we will be one again, and this world will burn." The psychotic laughter of Darquesse echoed through the night.

Uh-Oh Darquesse is back, this is not going to end well. How will remnant deal with a world breaker like Darquesse, well you'll have to read on and find out.
