(Author's Note)
What is up my good readers! 0n3dgeGaming here, and welcome to another chapter of ReBirth: Hunter!
It will now be at this point that some… plot points from ReBirth: Guardians come into play… The plot points from the newer chapters (IE: Chapter 15 onwards)
SO! Without holding onto the mess of ideas this chapter will end up being, let's begin.
The arena around us started to shift into it's respective battle ground, the two areas where our team's home field would be gaining different terrain and other things.
On our side, we gained an industrial area, kind of like that of what mountain glenn was like now.
As for Team DMC5, their side of the playing field ended up as a fiery landscape, in retrospect, it kinda looked like what we depict as hell.
"Well then… I feel right at home." Said G1, smirking as he unlatched the holsters for his guns 'Fame and Infamy'.
"I wish I could say the same…" I said, drawing Guardians Glave.
I turned to my team.
"Alex, support us with covering fire and health and shield boosts, your sleep darts won't do us any good against G1. Tehg, you take care of Tamazaki and Storm, you should be able to take them both if you know what you're doing. And remember to rewind only when your aura gets into the yellow." I said. "Plutia, take care of Johnny, transform if you have to, but keep the pressure on him. Then take him out with your berserk phase."
The rest of my team looked at me before Alex spoke out.
"As much as the plan works… I'm not Ana, and you've been playing too much Overwatch." Said Alex.
"And since when could I rewind time?!" Asked Tehg.
"Sorry, my mistake. I was confused by your accent. It sounds british." I said.
"I don't have an accent!" Said Tehg.
"You don't but your main story's Author does." I said.
"So are we going to do this or…?" Asked Johnny.
I turned around.
"Alex, keep Tehg protected, provide covering fire when necessary. Tehg, use your rapier. Try to get Tamazaki and Storm out of the fight as quickly as possible. Plutia… same as before." I said, activating my sword, giving everyone a damage boost, a shield, and a speed boost. "I got Hellspawn over there."
"Got it!" Was my team's response, as they raced off to their respective locations.
I started walking to the centre, sheathing my sword on my back again. G1 turning around from his teams pow-wow and also walking forwards.
We stopped at the centre, a foot or two apart. I was slightly shorter than G1 by 3 inches, which still made me resort to looking up at him, if only slightly.
"So… you ready?" He asked me.
"...Bring it." I said.
The stadiums buzzer rang out, signaling we could begin.
(Play Drowning - Natewantstobattle)
A shockwave of energy rippled across the arena, the shields around the soon to be devastated battleground were covered in dust for a few seconds before being cleared to show the image of me and G1 still… standing there.
Tamazaki and Storm were trading blows with Tehg, who was having slight trouble keeping up with the two opponents.
Johnny and Plutia were going at it hard. Both unnervingly into it.
Alex was up on the most stable looking ruined building, holding her DMR in her hand as she kept on covering fire for Tehg.
Me and G1 just stood in the middle of the chaos that was our teammates in heated battle. Our eyes firmly locked onto each other.
(With Tehg and Alex)
Tehg dropped down, avoiding a punch from Tamazaki and swinging his battle axe at Storm.
"Alex I could use some help now!" Shouted Tehg.
"I know I know!" Alex responded over their earpieces. "Also, please try not to yell, we do have earpieces for a reason you know."
"Don't care, need a power boost!" He said, flipping over Storm's attack.
Alex smirked, pulling the bolt on the side of her rifle back, before loading a special bullet through the top of the rifle. She then pushed the bolt forward, loading the projectile.
"I got ya…" She said, aiming at Tehg, before firing the projectile at Tehg.
Tehg felt the bullet pierce his back, before feeling a boost in speed occur.
"This just got fun." Said Tehg, before transforming his battle axe into his rapier.
(With Plutia)
Plutia ducked under one of Johnny's swings, rolling to the side before swinging her plushie at Johnny.
The impact of the doll sent Johnny back a fair bit.
"What the hell is that plush made out of!?" He exclaimed.
Plutia just smiled.
"I have no idea…" She responded slowly.
(Meanwhile)
Me and G1 just stood there, staring at each other.
"...So who do you think-?"
G1 was interrupted due to the intercom speaker informing us of things.
'Alex and Storm has been eliminated!'
"...Them?" I asked, shrugging.
(With Tehg)
Tehg grabbed Tamazaki's punch, before delivering one of his own. Tamazaki skidded to a stop before looking behind him to see a crater filled with lava.
"Eugh…" Was what Tamazaki responded to this new information.
Tehg ran at Tamazaki, thrusting his rapier at the APL.
Tamazaki swatted the weapon away before kicking Tehg away.
"START!" Shouted Tamazaki.
A column of light surrounded him as he was soon in his APL form.
"Just my luck…" Said Tehg, before getting ready again.
(With Plutia)
"*SIGH*... I'm getting bored of this." Said Plutia.
"Same… wanna go all out?" Asked Johnny.
"Can I? Yay!"
A column of light surrounded Plutia before Iris Heart emerged, her weapon changing into her whip-sword thing.
"You need to be taught a lesson!" She shouted, swinging her sword.
Johnny smirked.
"Bring it." He said, before powering up and going super saiyan.
Off in the bleachers you could hear Yang yell 'That's my thing!'.
"So… am I the only one confused about the transformations?" Asked Weiss looking at the battle in front of her.
"I don't think you are… but I'm pretty sure we don't care right now." Said Yang.
Tehg slashed at Tamazaki, continuing his assault.
Tamazaki knocked Tehg back, however during so he was also knocked back.
They kept up a defensive position, circling around each other.
"Honors Edge!" Shouted Tehg, his sword being engulfed by flames and a torrent of water.
"Rising Fury!" Shouted Tamazaki, rushing Tehg.
The two exchanged blows, before their last attack sent both a fair distance apart, a buzzer going off showing they had both depleted their aura.
(Meanwhile)
"Welp, Tamazaki and Tehg are out." I said, pulling out my scroll.
"...This is boring." Said G1.
(With Iris Heart)
Iris Heart slashed at Johnny, her sword detaching into a whip as the weapon tied around johnny.
Johnny forced himself out of the hold he was in and looked at Iris Heart.
Johnny then pulled out the famed 'Canadia Hammer', which looked like a canadian themed version of Nora's hammer.
Johnny swung his hammer at Iris Heart, electricity ran through it as it impacted anything.
Iris Heart smirked before grabbing onto Johnny and flew into the shielding around the arena.
'Plutia and Johnny have been eliminated.'
It was at this moment that another cloud of dust hit the shields around the arena. When it cleared all could be seen was a flat landscape.
In the centre was me and G1, our swords collided and sparks ready to fly.
(Change Music: Hell to pay - Miracle of sound)
We exchanged blows, our eyes locked firmly on each other the entire time.
I ducked under one of G1's slashes, before hitting him on the head with my sword. He just looked at me with some 'are you kidding me?' eyes.
"...Imma back away slowly now…" I said, walking backwards.
G1 rushed me, Rebellion clashing with my sword.
I pulled out my magnum, firing a few shots into his skull.
He brushed them off before knocking me back.
I get up just in time to see G1 jump over me, firing Fame and Infamy mid flip.
I respond with some shots of my own, before pulling out Guardians Glave and upping my speed.
I dodge one of his attacks, responding to the act with one of my own.
"Blinking Decapitation!" I shouted, blinking under G1 and using the ground to push me into the air, swinging my sword at his neck.
I fly away from him, my attack being dodged easily.
"You know… I wasn't sure what to expect." said G1, smirking.
I stood up, before pulling a combat knife from its sheath on my left shoulder.
I turned around, jabbing at G1 with the knife. He just seems to brush it off as he tries to hit me with his weapon.
I blink behind him before throwing my knife at his head. He just turns around and stares at me, the knife stopping mere inches in front of him, suspended in the air.
"...Since when could you do that…?" I asked, dropping my guard.
"I dunno." he said, before I felt a strong headache and ended up flying forwards towards G1, who responded with a kick to the face.
I fell to the ground, my face hurting more than it should. I shakily stood up, before slowing time as I felt the headache kick in.
I saw G1 look at me for a sec, before smirking and running at me.
I cracked my neck, running at him as well.
Our swords clashed together, sparks flying off our blades.
"Nice trick, but quicksilver won't help you anymore." I said, kicking G1 away.
Time returned to normal as I continued my assault, my speed boost running out.
"Jackpot." said G1, disappearing before a vision occurred showing his next move.
I blocked his attack, my sword being held in a backhanded way.
I flipped my weapon into the air, before grabbing it and swinging it at G1's face.
He took the hit, before knocking my sword a ways away.
G1 smirked before activating his Devil Trigger.
"Bring it pal." He said, taunting me.
'Let's give him a warm welcome.' a voice in my head spoke, I nodded before my arms broke down into tendrils and Transformed into Claws.
G1 stared at me. "Well that's new…"
I growled, lunging at the Nephilim.
I swung my claws at him, mainly hitting the open air.
He jumped back, unloading a clip from Fame and Infamy in my general direction.
...did I mention those guns have a bottomless clip?
The tendrils that was currently my left arm reformed into a shield, blocking the oncoming fire.
G1 stopped firing at me, before pulling out Rebellion and running at me.
My right arm reformed into a giant blade, I swatted away Rebellion with my shield and swung at him with the blade.
The attack sent G1 back a bit, he stood up and gripped Rebellion.
My arms reformed, I pulled out my M6 and continued my assault.
G1 sliced the bullets in half before they made contact, the shells hitting the floor.
I put away the M6 before pressing a button on my coat, a strap holding capsules connected around my chest.
"And what might that be for?" Asked G1.
"This." I responded, before pulling something out from off camera.
"...How did you…?"
"Magic satchel." I said.
I grasped onto the large grip of the gun, my left hand holding onto the bottom of the weapon.
"You DO realize what that is, right?" Asked G1 in shock. "Where did you even get that!?"
"...A friend." I said, before the top of the gun opened and I tossed one of the capsules in, the gun starting to glow a sickly green.
Energy started to form at the front of the gun, I aimed at G1, his face one of worry.
"G1… Meet the BFG." I said, pulling the trigger.
The condensed ball of energy launched out the gun. G1 quickly swapped his weapon for a katana known as Yamato.
G1 slashed the open air, a portal to a fiery hellscape which I can say for sure looked like the hell from DOOM opened up.
The shot entered the rift, the full might of the weapon obliterating the demons running for the opening.
The rift closed, G1 looking tired.
The BFG transformed into a sword and a shield, I swung them at G1 in rapid succession.
As my last attack landed, a buzzer rang out signaling that G1 had entered the red.
'Steven aura has entered the red! This means that the winners today are Team BAPT!' I heard Port's voice over the speakers. I dropped my weapons in relief as I fell onto my back.
"...I'm done for today." I said, closing my eyes.
(Stop Music)
"That was great guys!" Said Ruby.
"Thanks! That… that was a lot more challenging than I thought it was going to be." Responded Alex, scratching the back of her head.
"Where's Bryce?" Asked Yang.
"He's resting in his room." Said Plutia.
"Alright, because I have a few questions for you guys!" Said Weiss.
"It's about the transformations isn't it?" Asked someone to our right.
"Tamazaki!" Said Tehg. "When did you get here?"
"I think you mean we?" Said Johnny, walking in with Storm.
"...You guys were great out there!" Said Pyrrha.
"Thanks, though I think you all are curious about our.. Transformations." Said Storm.
"Yeah, I'd also like to ask about your weapon!" Nora pointed at Johnny.
"I'd think Ruby would be the one to ask about that first, but surprisingly it's Nora of all people…" Said Tehg.
"This is my trusty Canadia Hammer!" Said Johnny, boasting.
"Ooh…" Both Nora and Ruby said in awe.
"There you go." Said Alex.
"I don't really think Boasting is something you do, Johnny." Said Storm.
"Whatever man, that was a good battle though." Said Johnny, putting away the Canadia Hammer.
"Speaking of… where's Steven?" Asked Jaune.
"G1's currently with Bryce, they're having a conversation about things." Said Tamazaki.
"Let's give them a visit!" Said Yang.
"OH! Right, Ruby put these on." Said Johnny.
"Why?" Asked the girl as she was handed a pair of sunglasses that looked similarly like a pair that a certain team leader wears… I have the weirdest craving for coffee… that's weird.
"G1 wanted to see if this works." Said Johnny.
"Alright…" Said the girl in uncertainty.
"To the Dorms!" Shouted Johnny, running off.
"...What's with him?" Asked Blake.
"So say this again, you got all… prototype-y after being tortured by Cinder and the White Fang?" Asked G1.
"I'd prefer not to talk about it. I don't want to deal with my version of Nam flashbacks." I said, looking down at my cup of Coffee.
"Still though-" Started G1.
"*BLEH* I forgot I hated coffee…" I said, spitting a mouthful of coffee back into the mug from whence it came.
"Anyways, after the whole… adventure you and me had that one time went down-" Began G1, before being interrupted again.
"We're back!" I heard Plutia shout out.
"Hi…" I responded, yawning afterwards.
"I thought talking tired was Plutia's thing?" Asked Tamazaki.
"Oh hey guys." Said G1. "Johnny, did you do what I asked?"
"Ye." He responded.
It was at this moment Teams RWBY and JNPR walked in, I tensed up at the thought of Ruby before… raising an eyebrow at the sight in front of me.
"So… can I ask why you guy stole Coco's shades?" I asked. "And why RUBY is wearing them."
"We didn't steal them!" Said Johnny. "G1 did."
I turned a glance at the man in red. G1 was currently opening a flask and started to chug the contents.
"Whatever…" I sighed. "So, what are you all doing here?"
"Well, we came to congratulate you guys!" Said Ruby.
"...Tehg, I think I'm crazy." I said.
"Why's that?"
"Because she's a lot less… unnerving than normal." I said, walking in front of her.
I stood in front of the girl, my 6'1 inches towering over her 5'2 inches.
Johnny looked at our staring contest, before lifting the shades off of Ruby.
I quickly blinked behind a chair, peaking out.
Johnny placed the shades back down, my form slowly stepping out of my hiding place.
Johnny then proceeded to lift them up again, a troll face etched into his features.
"Can you stop!?" I exclaimed, Watching as Ruby just placed the shades back on.
"So… that's weird." said Yang.
"Tell me about it." said Nomia.
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. leave a Review if you wish, it helps me better my writing, and I'll see you all, next time.
