Hello, one and all, and welcome to the last chapter of Time with a Sun Dragon. I did it, I finally did it, I finally made it to the end! It took nearly 2 months, but I did it! Sorry it took so long to get up, I had another long day.
Before I start, I want to say thank you to all of you who took the time to read my story. And a special shout out to all of you who followed, favorited, and reviewed, you know who you are. Y'all have been great, and I hope you will continue to support me in all my future stories.
Not too much else to say, so let's get this party started! (Or should I say, finished)
RWBY © Rooster Teeth/Monty Oum (R.I.P)
*immediately after Kogane blasts Salem*
*Yang's P.O.V*
I don't believe it. My son has the powers of the Golden Crow. I guess it does make sense, I, like dad, love to leave bruises on my enemies, and Pov always could cruise through time as he wanted. He's going to be so proud when he learns…
Oh wait. I still can't believe that he's gone. Why did he have to sacrifice himself for me? He had so much ahead of him. Why'd it have to be him? Why not me? I really hope Kogane and I can avenge Pov's death. Avenge him by killing Salem.
"This is not possible! Kill the child! Kill him, my pets!"
Oh no! Kogane will never stand a chance against that many Grimm! What do I do?
"Leave me alone!"
*Kogane shoots several golden shockwaves, knocking back and killing all Grimm near him, while only causing a breeze to the others*
I guess that works, but how will a three year old beat Salem? With help from his mother and her friends, that's how.
"Very well, then. I shall dispose of you myself, you annoying little brat!"
*3rd person P.O.V*
Salem flew towards the child as fast as she could, her evil silver eyes glowing in anger. Kogane closed his eyes and raised his little arms in self defense. Immediately, a golden barrier appeared between himself and Salem. The witch was once again, knocked back by the power.
"Damn you, child! You shall not make a fool out of me so easily!" Summer shouted.
She used her black magic powers to telekinetically grab a large piece of building debris and throw it at Kogane. He was hit by it, and was knocked back. Thanks to his aura, and the golden crow, he escaped death, but was still hurt. He cried out in pain, and that's when Yang decided to help her son out.
She left Povelitel's dead body and ran for Salem. Since she was preoccupied with Kogane, she did not see Yang run up to her until it was too late. Yang punched Summer in the face several times,
"I hope you like this drink of 'punch' I made!" Yang said.
She kept punching Salem until her hand was grabbed by the evil being.
"Ever since you were a child, you have been the bane of my existence." Salem said to Yang.
"Mommy!" Kogane shouted. He ran up to Summer and Yang, and started punching and kicking at Salem, who was unaffected. She then threw Yang back toward Povelitel's dead body, and focused her attention on Kogane again.
"Do you really think that will defeat me, little bitch?" Salem asked, while grabbing the child by the neck.
Kogane struggled in Salem's grip, until his fist turned to solid gold, and he punched her in the face. She immediately released him and he ran for his mother.
"Mommy! You 'k? Did da big meanie hur' you?" He asked.
"I'll be fine, baby. Look out!" Yang shouted.
Salem came for him again, intending to kill him viciously. Kogane shot another burst of energy at Summer, who used her silver eyed powers to shield herself. She flew into the air and readied another attack, aiming this one specifically at Yang. She had hoped that by killing her, Kogane's spirit would break, and killing him would be easier.
Salem sent black bolts of lightning from her fingers toward Yang, who grabbed Povelitel's body, as if forgetting he was dead. Kogane meanwhile, made a shield with his golden crow powers and used it to protect himself and his mother.
The shield immediately sent the dark lightning back to sender. Salem once again fell to the ground.
"So, you are stronger than I gave you credit for. You have a remarkable spirit, little one. And a fierce love for your family. But those will only take you so far."
Salem charged again, using her black magic to create a blade. Before she could hit Kogane, though, he turned into pure golden light. The light then split into several streams and went across the city. The streams then reformed themselves and the light vanished, leaving little Kogane.
Once Salem found him again, she launched a surprise attack on him. She used telekinesis to grab him and launch him into a destroyed building.
When he got back up, Kogane was crying from the pain, but somehow knew he had to keep going. He shot some more energy blasts at Salem, then started running.
Meanwhile, Summer was chasing after him. When she found him, she was at her wits end with the child. She made ready to end this, once and for all.
"I have had enough of your playing around, child! I am going to end you, right now. After you, the rest of humanity will burn."
She shot massive amounts of dark energy at him, as well as beams from her silver eyes. Kogane tried to defend himself, putting up a barrier of golden energy in self defense. He didn't know what else to do.
Unfortunately, due to the massive power being thrown his way, and the fact that he was so young, Kogane's golden barrier started to crack.
"Help me, mommy! Pwease!" The toddler shouted.
"Your mother cannot help you. Your father cannot help you. No one can help you. You have no one to help you child! Even with the power of the golden crow, you are weak compared to me. You have no one to call 'friend'." Salem taunted the child, while continuing to lay on the power.
All of a sudden, a voice came out of the kid's mouth, a voice that did not belong to him. It said,
"That's not true."
All of a sudden, a bright golden light enveloped the child. And it was growing, too. It eventually took the shape of a bird, a crow.
The Golden Crow of Time.
Salem stopped shooting at it and looked up in awe/horror. Then the crow spoke again.
"You have been allowed to roam free and destroy all of mankind for too long. I shall not let you get away with tarnishing all that is good and friendly in the world. Prepare for your destruction."
Salem tried to shoot the massive bird, but it was having no effect on him. The crow then swiped one of his wings in Salem's direction, making her fly back several hundred feet. When she got up, she tried destroying the crow again, but to no avail. The crow spread its massive wings, and closed them around Salem.
Once the crow spread its wings again Salem was on the ground, dead. She soon evaporated into dust like a Grimm.
The crow began to disappear, and in it's place was a little 3 year old boy, who quickly ran back to his mother as fast as his little legs could carry him.
*Yang's P.O.V*
I don't believe it. She's gone, she's really gone! Salem's dead! We can finally live in peace again. No more war, no more death. I'm so happy that's it's over. My son beat her, and he's alright.
"Mommy! I did it! I beated da bad guy!"
He's so strong, for such a little guy. So strong, like his father. I'm so proud of him.
"Yes, you did, kiddo. I'm so proud of you!"
*Yang hugs her son*
"But, daddy still no wa'e up?"
Oh no. Why, why did I have to be reminded of that? Pov's still dead. I fell like I'm going to cry again.
"I told you, Kogane, He's not going to wake up, ever again. I'm so sorry."
Now the kid really will have to grow up like I did, with only one parent. This is just what I was trying to avoid! It's not fair!
*both start crying again*
"Yang? Are you alright?"
Why her? Why is she here? Is mom only here to gloat over Pov being dead?
"Leave me alone, mom. I don't want to hear anything about how much you didn't like him."
"I wasn't going to, Yang. I wanted to say I'm sorry. He was a good man. I see that now. I think he's in a better place, though. Come on, Kogane. Let's give your mom some privacy, so she can say goodbye to your dad."
"*sniff* Ok, gwandma."
*Raven and Kogane walk away*
I'm so sorry, Pov. You didn't deserve to die because of me. Why did you have to push me out of the way? Why did you have to throw your life away because of me? Why did you leave? Don't you know how much I need you? How much our son needs you? Why did you leave us?! ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!
I'm talking to a dead body. I must be going insane. I'm just going to miss him too much. This isn't fair!
"Yang? How you holding up?"
Why is Mary here? Did she come to say goodbye to her old teammate? Who are those 3 women next to her? Can't they see I'm busy mourning?
"What the hell do you think, Mary? How do you think I'm 'holding up'?! Who are these 3?"
"I'm so sorry, Yang. He truly was a good man, he was my partner and teammate. I miss him too. Anyway, on an unrelated note, do you know the story of the seasons?"
Where the hell is Mary going with this?
"Yeah, the story of the maidens. So?"
"What if I told you that was real?"
"Yeah, I know. I was told. What's your point?"
She better be going somewhere with this. I'm a little busy mourning my husband.
"Right. Now what if I told you I recently became the Fall Maiden, and that these 3 are the other Maidens?"
"Get to the point!"
"Point being, once I got these maiden powers, I met up with the other 3 and we took out a multitude of Grimm. We all have extraordinary power, and we want to use it to give you a gift. A way to say thank you, for finally defeating that evil woman."
What kind of gift are they talking about? Do they really think this will make me feel better? Move on from Pov? It's too soon for that!
"Are you ready, girls?"
"Yes, Mary. Let's do it."
What are they doing? What kind of 'gift' is this? Just some random chanting?
Wait, what's happening to Pov's body? It's glowing. Now it's rising off the ground. What in the name of Monty Oum is going on?
*Povelitel's wounds start healing and he is put back on his feet. Then, his eyes open*
"Uhhh. What the hell happened to me?"
Is he… is he really? Oh Oum. He is. He is! HE IS!
HE'S ALIVE!
"Pov!"
*Yang hugs him tightly*
"Yang? What happened? Where am I? I thought I was dead."
"You were. You were, Pov. But these girls brought you back!"
"Mary? You did?"
"Yes, Povelitel. My friends and I managed to return your soul to your body. It was not yet your time to leave."
Thank Oum that they did. I got my man back. No way I'm gonna lose him again. I ain't ready to close that book. I wanna write so much more in that book. Share many more adventures.
"Thank you, Mary. I owe you, big time."
"Forget it, Povelitel. Why don't you catch up with Yang?"
"Don't mind if I do. So Yang, where's Salem? You kill her, little miss 'Golden Crow'?"
"Oh, I'm not the Golden Crow of Time, it turns out the real crow is…"
"DADDY!"
*Kogane hugs his father*
"…him, Pov."
"Really?"
"I beated da bad guy, daddy! It was fun!"
"Did you now? Way to go, kid."
I'm so happy to have my whole family back. No force is ever gonna split up this branch of the Vremeni family again.
"I'm glad to have you back, Pov. I got you, and 'very mini' here."
"Mommy, I no mini, I big!"
"She said the same thing to me when I was young, trust me, Kogane. You get used to it. Why don't you find Aunt Ruby? See if she's alright? I want to talk to your mom for a sec."
"'K, daddy."
I'm surprised he remembers when I called him 'very mini'. Oh well, I got someone else to tease with that nickname now. I got almost everything a girl could want.
*Povelitel's P.O.V*
My Oum, it feels good to be among the land of the living again. That whole death thing was really boring. I really don't plan on doing it again anytime soon.
"You glad to be back, Pov?"
Does Yang really have to ask that?
"Yeah, I'm not a real big fan of the whole 'death' thing. It was boring! At least I know life here won't be boring. Especially with you. With you, things are never boring. I don't know why, but you seem to attract some sort of weird adventure wherever you go."
"Must be my magnetic personality, Pov."
Sure, a magnet for trouble. That's what she attracts. Well, that, and me.
"I'm just glad it's all over with, Yang. I think our days fighting anything other than some more Grimm are pretty much done."
"Yep. I think you're right. We're done. Well, at least until Kogane starts dating."
Really, she's going to be that kind of parent? The kind that get all paranoid when their child starts growing up? Like my mother was to me?
"Hey, don't give me that look, Pov! 'Golden Crow of Time' or not, no girl is gonna get anywhere near my boy unless she proves she has what it takes to go up against me!"
"Groan."
And, that's a wrap! It's all over now!
Did you really think I would abandon my beloved OC like that? Or end this story with one of the main characters dead? Hell, no! It's like a Marvel movie, when someone dies, there's always a way to bring them back. No one stays dead. (except for Quicksilver, but I still think they may bring him back in a later movie.)
Besides, I think I still have one or two more plans for him. What does that mean? Here's what it means:
It means that I've got another story lined up.
Yes, I intend to start work on my next project very shortly. I won't say much, I want to keep most of it a surprise, but I will reveal this:
It will be centered around Ruby and a new OC. It will take place in the same universe as Time with a Sun Dragon. (As well as cross over with it at a few points) It will follow the same general formula, with half the story being set in the established RWBY canon, and the other half being made up by me. And lastly, I think the first chapter will be posted on Friday.
Once again, thank you very much for reading my story, and I hope to see you again on my future stories. Until next time, this is Needs a Better Username, signing off. Goodbye!
