New chapter! I had a little more time than I originally thought. So anyway, I FINALLY DECIDED ON BLAISE'S SEMBLANCE! I just finally had it, I just decided on it. Anyway, stuff happens in this chapter, important stuff. Blaise almost loses it, and he likes noodles.
Enjoy
"What the hell do you mean he was just here?!" Lucia asked the cashier as she slammed his face onto the counter again.
"He left just before you came in," the cashier said while spitting out some blood. "Please can you just let me go?"
"Where did he go?" she asked him holding his face next to hers by his hair.
"You passed him on the way out."
'I didn't notice anything,' she thought as she let go of the cashier and walked around the counter. Opening up the trap door she jumped down into the basement and turned on the light. Sniffing the air she let her nose be the guide leading her to an empty mannequin. "Well this just got a lot harder," she said then climbed back up the ladder.
"What did he take?" the cashier asked while wiping some blood off the bridge of his nose.
"He took the assassination outfit. It is designed with special dust to make the wearer less noticeable by diverting anyone's gaze if he had the hood up," she explained then pulled out her longsword and held it next to the cashier's neck. "You're going to tell me everything he took, or one swift movement by Excalibur here and not even your aura will protect your little head."
"He just went down there, took the outfit, two swords, and a sniper rifle. That's all he did," the cashier answered in a rush.
"Fine," she said sheathing Excalibur then left the building in a rush. 'Either I find him fast or he'll never be found unless he wants to.'
Running down the path she had taken she ran towards the CCT since that was a central hub for people and the most likely place for an assassination to take place. Entering the plaza she saw a girl clad in white enter the CCT. Quickly looking at the buildings she didn't see Blaise on the roof so that meant two things: either he's not here, or he's already killed his target.
Nearing the docks Blaise passed by several people without them noticing him.
'Shouldn't they ask about a guy carrying a large sniper rifle, cutlasses, and pistols?' Blaise asked himself as he picked a White Fang mask out of one person's pocket and placed it on his face.
Entering the warehouse with the three claw marks Blaise walked into the middle of a large assembly of faunus still nobody noticing that he was carrying a large high caliber railgun sniper rifle.
"Now I know you all are waiting to find out who the White Fang has partnered with," the leader of the assembly said getting everyone's attention, "but we do have a second plan working for us involving one of our higher ups. Allow me introduce, Sedric Campione!" He gestured to the side of the stage where Sedric was standing and then he walked into the middle of the stage wearing his brown long coat waving at the faunus in the room.
"Hello current and possible future members of the White Fang," Sedric greeted looking over the crowd not noticing Blaise at all. "I am Sedric Campione, head of the scientific research branch of the White Fang. Now I know all of us here want to bring the humans down a peg, right?" He paused as most of the faunus in the room nodded. "Well I have a possible way to fight the humans, without fighting. All that I need is a busload or two of assistants to… help me with some experiments that were originally started with my older brother. So if you don't wish to be part of the fighting but still wish to help, you can load up onto the busses next thursday. Also this alternative provides a nice ocean view," he finished making several of the faunuses in the room nod considering the offer.
Looking over to his right Blaise saw two distinct people wearing WF masks. The first was a cat faunus with a cleaver on her back and a blonde monkey faunus.
"What are they doing here?" Blaise asked himself as he saw Sedric leave the stage. Dismissing that thought Blaise started to pass through the crowd the other faunuses only knowing of Blaise's presence by a slight push on their back.
Walking past the guards with ease Blaise followed his brother to the back of the warehouse where several of the White Fang members were loading a machine, scratch that, the machine, into the back of a semi truck.
"Come on, hurry up," Sedric told the WF members as he approached the truck, "We have to get this to the docks and loaded up before the police come by to investigate the ship."
"Hey, do you want this thing damaged?" one of the members asked, "Because that is what is going to happen if we go any faster."
"Oh shut up lieutenant," Sedric replied. "Just get this thing on the truck then drive it down to the docks. Then you can go and play with your little chainsaw."
"Watch yourself little doggie," the lieutenant told him as he pushed the final bit of the machine in the truck, "Or you might just play with the chainsaw later." He then turned to the other WF member. "Get in the truck, you're driving."
"Finally," Sedric said as the two WFs went into the truck, "Stupid cat."
"And you're a dumb dog," Blaise said finally getting Sedric's attention as Blaise put sedric into a headlock and dragged him into the automatic closing back of the truck.
"Hello Blaise," Sedric sarcastically greeted his little brother as he was trying to get Blaise's arm off of his neck. "How do you plan on getting out of this?"
"I plan on knocking you out and when we get to the docks, bringing you back to Beacon," Blaise explained as he gripped Sedric's neck tighter.
"Really? Not that good of a plan," Sedris said reaching into his coat and pulled out what appeared to be a railgun machine gun and aimed it at Blaise's chest, "but I think we should take this dispute outside." He pulled the trigger firing off three bullets throwing Blaise out of the truck's trailer forcing him to let go. Recomposing himself Sedric stuck his head out of the hole and looked down the highway not seeing his little brother.
"You know, I think we should take this outside," Blaise said from above Sedric as he reached down and grabbed Sedric by the collar and pulled him out of the hole.
"What the FUCK?!" Sedric shouted as he struggled against Blaise's grip. Then he turned around to see Blaise standing horizontal on the side of the trailer without even having to hold onto anything. "How are you doing that?"
"Science," Blaise replied as he threw Sedric onto the top of the trailer.
As Sedric stood up he aimed the machine gun at where Blaise was standing ready to fire. A couple of moments passed and Blaise didn't come onto the top.
"Looking for me?" Blaise asked from behind Sedric with both cutlasses ready to attack.
Before Blaise could strike with both swords Sedric unfurled his machine gun into a Zweihander with railguns on each side just fast enough to block Blaise's strike. Firing off a railgun shot at Blaise's feet Sedric quickly kicked his little brother off of the trailer and onto the hood of the car behind the trailer.
Pulling the sniper rifle off of his back Blaise aimed it at his brother and fired off a round that flew right by his ear. Jumping in the air Blaise aimed his feet at the back of the trailer and snapped his fingers causing his gravity boots to activate making him land on the back of the trailer. Snapping his fingers twice locking in the direction of gravity Blaise aimed the rifle behind him and turned it on high charge. Firing off a round Blaise flew up in the air making him fly forward so he could kick Sedric in the face. He then snapped his fingers once deactivating the gravity boots.
Holstering the rifle on his back Blaise pulled out his pistols firing off two rounds hitting Sedric in the chest sending him onto the windshield of the truck.
"GET UP HERE NOW!" Sedric shouted at the lieutenant making him roll his eyes under the mask.
"Now you get up here!" Blaise shouted at Sedric as he grabbed his brother and pulled him back onto the trailer.
Grabbing his Zweihander he swung at Blaise who easily dodged the strike and the blade cut into the trailer roof. Blaise was about to swing at Sedric but then he was hit in the back by a chainsaw blade throwing him closer to his brother.
"You stay the fuck out of this," Blaise said jumping in the air firing two pistol rounds hitting the lieutenant throwing him into the trailer. Landing back onto the trailer Blaise was hit by the Zweihander cutting his leg and cancelling his aura.
"Now it's getting interesting," Sedric said qiping Blaise's blood off of the blade, "Now how about a refresher." He then pressed one finger on the bloody rag and Blaise was thrown onto the roof of the trailer. "My semblance equals gravity increase, and this time you don't have a telekinetic friend here to save your ass."
"You're right," Blaise said then raised his hand against the increased gravity, "but I do have some new shoes." He snapped his fingers changing his personal gravity making him fly into Sedric's legs breaking his concentration allowing Blaise to stand up. "You know, I still need to pay you back for Joseph," Blaise said with his hands heating up as he picked up the cutlasses making black flames starting to form on the blade. "And this is a little for myself." Blaise then swung the first blade cutting off Sedric's right arm, then he swung the second cutting off Sedric's left leg with the black flames cauterizing both of the wounds preventing blood loss.
After Sedric stopped shouting in pain Blaise removed his hands covering his ears then walked over to his now crippled brother who was trying to breathe properly. "Come on, don't be a baby. This couldn't ever be as painful as dying," Blaise said as he grabbed his brother by the hair and pulled him up to his level. "Come on, you enjoy blowing off people's limbs, but when it is yours you suddenly don't like it."
"Fuck you," Sedric said as he punched Blaise with his left arm with enough strength to make him let go. As he hit the ground Sedric grabbed his Zweihander and fired off a round at Blaise who had just enough time to pull out his cutlasses to cross them in front of him to block the bullet sending him flying and breaking the blades.
Blaise was thrown off the highway making him hope he could focus his aura to protect him from the fall, but then he remembered that Sedric depleted it using the Zweihander.
"This is going to hurt," Blaise told himself as he approached the ground with his eyes closed, but then he hit another body cushioning his fall.
"Ow, what just happened," Neptune groaned as he looked at what landed on him. "Blaise?"
"Neptune?"
"What are you doing here?" they both asked in unison.
"Waaaahhh!" Sun shouted as he landed on the ground not far from where the two guys landed.
"Can you get off of me?" Neptune asked as Blaise stood up then pulled out his rifle to use as a crutch since his leg was injured.
"So what were you guys doing?" Blaise asked as Sun reached Neptune to help him up.
"Oh, you know, just hanging around with team RWBY," Sun explained where Blaise just simply nodded.
"Oh yeah, big robot further down the road," Neptune said where Blaise simply nodded again.
"So let me guess, White Fang?" Blaise asked as he layed down on the ground and aimed his sniper rifle down the highway and saw several cars being thrown in the air.
"Yeah."
"Big ass Atlasian robot."
"Yeah."
"Give me a second," Blaise said then saw the Atlasian Paladin fall off the highway. Aiming the rifle he pulled the trigger hitting the robot in mid air damaging the armor. "And we're good."
"Did you kill Torchwick?" Sun asked.
"No, I only damaged the armor making it a little easier for RWBY to destroy the Paladin," Blaise explained then stood back up and used the rifle as a crutch again.
"So why don't you just keep firing that gun until the battle is over?"
"Two reasons: I have faith that my girlfriend and her team will win, and my leg really hurts."
"Guys, please tell me I'm not hallucinating from blood loss and that there's a noodle stand over there," Blaise said as he pointed at A Simple Wok Noodle House.
"That's real Blaise," Neptune said.
"Ok, well I could really go for noodles," Blaise said walking over to the bar leaning the rifle against the bar as he sat down and ordered a noodle bowl.
"Blaise shouldn't we get you to a doctor?" Sun asked. "You did lose a lot of blood."
"You guys can go ahead, but I am getting some god damned noodles," Blaise said as the chef handed Blaise a bowl of noodles.
"Fine," Neptune said as he and Sun sat down on the stools and ordered food.
After a couple of minutes and several noodle bowls Neptune spoke up. "They're probably fine, right?"
"Probably," Sun replied.
"I wouldn't worry about it," Blaise said as he finished his fourth bowl.
"And who might you be?" Ozpin asked a girl who was wandering the Beacon courtyard in the middle of night wearing a Haven uniform with two cavalry swords and a pistol on her belt, and a longsword and a railgun shotgun crossing on her back.
"Ah!" she shouted jumping at the headmaster's sudden arrival causing her to grab onto a low tree branch making her black beret and sunglasses nearly fall off. "Do-do-don't do that."
"I'm sorry, but student's don't normally wander around the campus at night," Ozpin explained as the girl jumped down from the tree. "So who might you be?"
"L-L-L-Lucia," she barely said looking around.
"Well Lucia, the dorms for Haven students are down this path then it's the second building on the right," Ozpin told her.
"Th-thanks," Lucia said then ran down the path towards the Haven dorms.
There we go. Blaise's semblance. FIRE! Was it surprising since his name sounds close to blaze. I was considering making Blaise's semblance something with Ice so it would be a contrast... I still like that idea though. Maybe I'll add it in just because, or I'll make one of AQRS's semblances the ice thing. Well anyway,
Lucia is supposed to be a stereotypical internet web surfer. She is really shy, introverted, and socially awkward in normal situations, but when she assumes the New Moon persona she becomes a easily angered individual. She is completely normal when she hangs around with family, which is what is going to happen in the future. One last thing with Lucia, she's 19 so she's going to be a third year student.
Finally, I'm going to make up names for each of the OC character's weapons. I already have names for Lucia and Blaise's weapons, so if you wanna help me come up with other names for them you can put them in the reviews or something. PM? (I've never quite used that.)
Well, whatever. Have a good day,
