Blue swiftly slides across the ground to reach Fria's downed side, his hand reaching into his pouch and bringing out a syringe, which he swiftly pops open and jabs into the bleeding woman's side.
"It's an adrenaline shot!" He calls out as the others gather up around him and the downed woman, both to check on her and guard her. "It'll buy us time, but we need to take her to the infirmary, and quick!"
The floor and ceiling shake as he finishes speaking, very likely due to the fight between Qrow and Sable up above, making Glynda swiftly and safely lift Fria's wounded body with her Semblance.
"I know the way!" Taiyang growls out and jumps towards one of the many tunnels that lead further into the stadium's interior. "Tony, with me! We'll clear the way forward-"
"There they are!" A shout coming from the entrance behind them cuts off Taiyang, dozens of armed people with combat gear and rifles pouring in without a care for the corpses littering the ground. "Grab the woman-"
Wilow flicks her wrist with a flare of her nostrils, her eyes downright murderous as her Aura and Semblance flare to life.
An enormous glowing platinum Glyph comes into existence right beside her, and out of it forms a massive Chimera-like beast.
The lion head growls lowly while the snake tail hisses, their predatory and glowing eyes instantly locking onto the now pale forces aiming their guns at the two Huntsmen teams.
"Tear them apart." Willow growls out before turning around as her Chimera roars, then pounces forward and into the midst of the now screaming and shooting soldiers.
None of them were Huntsmen, nor had Aura awakened.
So the beast was like a farmer walking through his wheat field with a scythe, cleaving through their numbers like it was nothing and leaving it's pearly white body covered in the blood and gore of it's flailing, screaming, shooting and escaping victims.
The teams ignore the carnage and swiftly follow after Taiyang and Anthony through the tunnels, with the duo running far ahead of them to intercept any incoming danger.
And as they ran, Glynda turns her heavy gaze towards Blue. "What…" She starts, then gulps when she remembers that gaze. "What happened with Raven?" The way she had been stared at after they fell through the ceiling.
It gave her the chills. It felt like a gaze alone could kill her, somehow.
Blue pales profusely at her question. "When everyone went… crazy…" He cuts himself off with a gulp as a shudder runs down his spine. "Raven was waiting in line to grab some food, and… she had a family in front of her."
"The five year old kid among the family lunged for her and… she took his head off by instinct."
Glynda's stomach drops and her face pales profusely.
"Oh gods…"
xxxXXXxxx
I killed a kid.
A fucking kid.
Took his head off with a swipe of my arm when he lunged for my throat by instinct.
Instincts I had to develop due to my fucking father throwing fuckers at me as I grew up, all aiming to rape and or kill me, all so to train me and keep me on guard.
The face on the mother… The way it went from confusion, then slowly morphed into horror… And her scream afterward, which was then cut off by her own husband sinking his teeth into her neck.
The humanoid Grimm snarls and pounces at me yet again, but to me… It's movements look oh so painfully slow.
And I am oh so fucking mad.
The only reason I didn't go after that blue haired bitch I can't remember the name off is because I'd have torn her apart within seconds.
Qrow is much better at playing with his victims and at holding back than me, so I let him have the cunt while I went after this durable son of a bitch.
Blood red Aura pours into my right hand, which I clench into a fist… Then hammer it into the beast's ribcage, caving it in and nearly punching it straight through his back.
Whatever the fuck this thing is hacks and vomits out copious amounts of blood, yet… A blackish Aura flickers around it's body, and somehow, it's injuries are swiftly healed just as I kick it away.
I sniff as the creature rolls across the ground, then watch as it swiftly gathers itself and stands back up, bloodied drool pouring down it's blackish jaw.
"What the fuck did that pale cunt do to you?" It roars and, yet again, pounces forward.
This time I meet his charge with my own, all of it's movements looking oh so sloppy and easy to break down.
My fist caves in it's skull and sends it flying like a missile down the middle of the arena, destroying all the trees and blasting any rock in it's path apart.
He's resilient, can take a beating, and seems to be part Grimm and part human. His Aura doesn't protect him, it just heals his wounds.
Yet… Is he getting stronger?
Is that how it overwhelmed and won against Ozpin?
It grows stronger the more damage it sustains?
Well now… That means he can take a good fucking beating!
I couldn't help but have a nearly feral grin spread across my face as that thought flashes across my mind.
Breathing in all that guilt and fury, I swiftly grab the handle of Omen before rushing forward.
This time, the ground below the beast shatters and caves in on his take-off, now quite a lot faster than before.
I switch to a Gravity Dust blade before I unsheathe my sword. It's very durable, plus it makes the swing quite a lot heavier.
Clawed fingers slash through the air and towards me, aiming for both my face and chest while I grab Omen with both of my hands.
Then side-step, seemingly rushing past the Humanoid Grimm creature and dodging his rough swipes- Omen's blunt blade hammers into his stomach with horrifying force, and the Gravity Dust lights up with a flicker of my Aura.
With a grunt and twist of my feet – which instantly dig into the ground from the push – I fully swing my arms like I am swinging a baseball bat.
The sheer strength I put behind the swing – and the pressurized blast from the Gravity Dust blade – utterly pulverize the ground below our feet as a roaring sonic boom echoes out.
The beast is hurled through the air, leaving behind a streak of condensed air as he flies into the bloodied and corpse filled stands, then flies through them, causing the part he smashed into to crumble alongside the roof.
The creature then keeps flying, straight into the city, then a seemingly tall office building.
Luckily, the whole city is very likely still empty, which explains how all those soldiers I didn't recognize that rushed us in the infirmary and opened fire on the civilians managed to get in.
The security was compromised, and Atlas probably still doesn't fully know what the fuck is going on down here, else it's forces would have already swarmed down by now.
Or they too are facing an attack of sorts.
Not that I give a fuck.
I sheathe Omen and bring up another Dust Blade. The same one I used against that Ancient Cenitaur in the forest.
It still quite a few uses left… Or one big one.
Breathing in, my Aura flickers and surges around my legs and feet before I rush forward then jump into the crumbled stands.
Before bending low and intensifying the Aura at the bottom of my feet, using that as a propelling force to make my jump hurl me high into the air.
The wind whips into my face as the side of the building I hurled the Humanoid Grimm into crumbles, his dust covered form becoming visible and his glowing blood-red eyes flicking up to my form.
With a howl of madness and swing of his arms, the ground below his feet collapses as he hurls himself towards me without a care.
A blinding white-hot glow fills the air, which instantly warps due to the rising immense heat coming from Omen.
I pour a tenth of my Aura within the Dust Blade, making it resemble the fucking Sun itself below I swing it downward.
A titanic wave of flames is unleashed as the Dust Blade shatters, the very building before me melting down before the wave of flames even smashes into it.
The Humanoid Grimm disappears from my sight as a massive explosion rocks and pushes me back, making me stumble in the air and have a messy landing.
An enormous tower of flames and black smoke fills the area where the building stood, naught but rubble and molten slag left of it.
I hope that didn't kill it-
A figure lands right beside me, turning the asphalt to powder as my eyes widen-
I lean back and dodge a swing that would have surely taken my head off otherwise, then step back to dodge another.
As I thought, it does grow stronger the more damage it takes.
Ozpin probably delivered a devastating blow to it, then let his guard down and was promptly either killed or literally disarmed by the creature.
Each swing of the Humanoid Grimm's massive arms makes the air whistle, showing just how much power each punch is packing.
I dodge another swing, my eyes flicking down to his left leg as he steps forward- Then take that opportunity to kick his kneecap in, making it snap and swiftly making the beast lose his balance.
My free arm reaches forward to grab his wrist, my feet once more digging into the ground below me as I exert as much force as I can to lift the fucker up and spin around.
Then spin some more before hurling his dumbass into the conflagration left behind by my Dust Blade.
I sheathe Omen and crack my knuckles as I breathe in. Using a sword now will be meaningless.
The fucker can just tank through my swings and get at me, so might as well throw hands.
I want to get up and personal so to vent, after all.
I breathe out as the beast's howls reach my ears yet again, all my suppressed anger and guilt at having taken that poor kid's life surging forth.
The veins all over my forearms bulge as the creature, now wreathed in flames, slams into the ground a few meters in front of me again.
A fucking kid, Salem.
"I wonder, can you fucking hear me?" I tilt my head as the howling creature charges at me.
My fist cracks his head to the side. "You'd probably be looking through the eyes of your new creations, wouldn't you, Salem?" I growl out before jumping back to dodge a wild swing as the creature straightens himself.
His body is much more resilient now. It's like he adapts to the damage he takes and becomes more durable.
"Of course you'd be, you pale skinned cunt." I swat away a swing from the Humanoid Grimm before hammering my fist against his throat, making it choke and step back.
"You, someone who had kids of her own, led to the death of who knows how many more." I duck below a swing, then uppercut the shit out of the Humanoid Grimm, lifting his ass a few feet off the ground.
My fist hammers into his guts with a resounding boom of air just as he lands, and I watch as the fucker keels over with a bloodied wheeze. "I usually wouldn't say this, but I'm so fucking mad, so who gives a shit." I wrap my right arm around the Grimm's neck, then kick his legs out and drop down.
His skull hammers into the asphalt below, and I swiftly jump back up and turn around, lifting my leg high in the air and pouring Aura into my heel before I hammer it down as an ax-kick right on the fucker's neck.
The street's asphalt crumbles and explodes from the ensuing blow, but I am not fucking satisfied.
Clearly stunned by the previous blow, the Humanoid Grimm doesn't react much as I lift his head up and I lean in where his ears should be. "I really fucking hope your kids suffered before they died, you twisted fucking whore." I whisper, then pause when the Grimm actually pauses, seemingly freezing in place.
Then, it happens.
The blood-red lines all over his body start glowing brightly, and the blackness enveloping him surges as his body swells up, a blackish miasma now pouring out of his bulging muscles.
Yet, I couldn't help but grin viciously at that. "Oh so you can hear me, you Grimm cock-sucking twat!" Hah! That's fucking amazing!
But my fury just keeps on burning more and more.
Insulting her isn't enough.
The now much bigger beast lets out a deafening roar, my eyes widening and arms rising to block the incoming blow that is too fast for me to dodge.
My Aura flares and flickers, pain exploding all over my arms as I'm sent hurling down the street and into another building.
"Ow…" I grunt out with a sniff, then get back up- Only to check when my back is slammed against the wall that stopped my momentum, a large clawed hand wrapped around my throat.
Despite that, I still stare into the beast's glowing eyes with a vicious grin. "What's wrong? Is the millennia old whore mad?" I can feel her anger through the Grimm's tightening grip around my neck. "I really wish your fucking brats could see and know what you've done up until now! Oh, their faces must be fucking amazing!" I cackle as the Grimm snarls with fury right in my face.
But before he can do anything I lift my legs up and twist my body, wrapping one behind his back and one behind the back of his head.
Then bend them with as much force I can muster, which ends up slamming the Grimm face first into the wall he's holding me against.
The slam against the wall makes his grip waver, which I capitalize on to twist out of his grip and flip around as he goes to push himself back, only for me to kick the back of his head and slam him back into the wall.
Just with greater force, of course.
"You must be so glad those little bitches died though…" I whistle out while rolling my shoulder, bringing the stunned Grimm to another pause. "Oh wait, you killed 'em! Like a fucking idiot!" I laugh as the Grimm's furious eyes flick to mine.
My laugh dies down and my face becomes downright murderous. "And then you have the fucking galls to act mad when insult 'em?" My chest rises as I take in a deep breath. "What a twisted, retarded and outright demented hypocrite you are."
The ground cracks as I rush forward.
My fist hammers into the Grimm's chest. "You have no fucking right to get mad for 'em!" I snap his left kneecap with a kick. "If you want to die so fucking bad, then find another way that doesn't involve innocent children!" An uppercut staggers the Grimm back against the wall.
"But I bet this whole shit was just a ruse! You killed your kids on purpose, because you've been a twisted fucking cunt since day one!"
The blood red lines along the Grimm's body light up, and a furious voice echoes forth like the wrath of a God.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
I snarl as my Aura flares a thousand fold as I draw my fist back. "YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!" My Aura disappears, and glowing blood-red lines appear all over my skin, filling me with immense heat and strength.
My fist sinks into the Grimm's guts, and an immense wave of force is unleashed forth.
The entire building I was in is obliterated as if a bomb went off right inside it, the blast released by my punch tearing through buildings and asphalt for dozens of meters.
I'm so fucking mad that I don't give a fuck about unlocking my Semblance.
I can feel it setting my blood on fire. I can feel it flow oh so much faster. My heartbeat was so quick that I can't even tell if it's beating in the first place.
The blood-red lines on my skin light up with greater light as I grit my teeth, my eyes locking on the figure that stands up from the rubble, now even bigger and bulkier than before.
Furious glowing eyes land on me, and Salem's echo-like voice reaches my ears. "I'll make you regret everything you said 'till now…" She growls out viciously, seemingly having taken control over her puppet.
I give her vicious smile and the middle finger. "Like you made your mini-cunts regret siding with their daddy?"
My response to her screech of fury is a jubilant cackle.
A.N. I really liked writing all the shit-talk. I can be very foul-mouthed when I want- Well, I am always foul-mouthed… Heh.
Hope y'all have enjoyed this chapter, but I also have some bad news!
Next chapter will be the last – not the last chapter of the fic – because the story will go on HIATUS.
Reason? There are two more Arcs left… But I do not know what to do with the next one – and no, please don't suggest anything – so I am taking a break to think about it.
I've been forcing myself to write this fic for months even when my writing juice for it dried up because of the commissions, and the burn out finally showed itself when I spent months planning for the next arc and coming up with nothing.
For those that like this fic, am really sorry. I promise I'll come back to it in the future.
Until then, await the next chapter and enjoy this current one!
Toodles!
