Chapter 15: Vengeance
She opened her beautiful milky brown eyes. 'W-where am I and w-who are you?' She asked him.
'My name is Sasuke Uchiha and you are at Beacon Academy. I saved you.' Sasuke said.
'I'm at Beacon? How did I get here?' She asked.
'I don't know exactly. Can you tell me your name and what all you remember?' Sasuke asked her.
'My name is Amber and I remember-' Amber closed her eyes then thought hard.
Her eyes then snapped open. 'I was attacked!' She yelled angrily and tried to get up. She got a sudden headache then groaned and sat back down.
'Easy now. You said you were attacked, by who?' Sasuke questioned her.
'It was 2 girls and one boy. The boy was silver-haired tall and mostly used his legs when he fought. One of the girls was green-haired, dark complexion, and had red eyes. The other girl was black-haired, had golden eyes, and used a type of glass semblance. She used this glove to steal my power.' Amber said lividly.
'That sounds awfully familiar.' Chikara said.
'It does, but could it really be them?' Sasuke mentally replied.
'It seems she only took half of your power.' Sasuke told her.
Amber tried feeling her power. 'Yes, it seems that way.' Amber looked at Sasuke. 'So what are we going to do?'
'You need to lay low for now. I found you in a pod in a lower part of Beacon. I don't know what you were in it for other than to keep you stabilized.' Sasuke said.
'They were going to transfer the rest of my power to someone else.' Amber said contemplating.
Ozpin of course told Amber about the pods once before. She just wondered why he didn't fully rehabilitate her. Probably thought I wasn't going to make it. She was, after all, considered a weak Fall Maiden because she didn't train like that. She will definitely rectify that mistake.
'That makes sense then. This whole thing will be figured out. Until then, you rest up. I have food in that bag over there.' Sasuke said.
'Thank you Sasuke. I especially thank you for s-saving me.' Amber said with a red tint and shy smile.
'Anytime Amber. I have to go now. ' Before Sasuke could leave.

Sasuke smirked, then closed the window and left.
Amber blushed lightly. He is very handsome. She thought before laying back down. She thought about the three that attacked her. 'I will make you all pay.' She whispered with vengeance.
-Cutscene-
Ruby was seen looking at a gravestone of her late mother, Summer Rose.
'Hey Mom. Sorry I haven't come by in a while. Things have been…well, things have been pretty busy. I haven't gotten kicked out of Beacon yet! So that's cool. I think being on a team with Yang helps. She's actually a great fighter! So are Weiss and Blake. They're my teammates! I made a bunch of new friends and some…odd teachers.' Ruby then turned red as a tomato and smiled a fervent smile.
'I-I've even met a great guy. He's saved me a bunch of times and he's really nice! I-I think I l-like him, like, like him like him, but right now we are great friends.' Ruby gave a cute smile thinking of Sasuke.
Ruby then heard a bark and saw her father and Zwei.
'Oh I have to go now! Dad's back! He's dropping me off at Beacon for the next tournament match before he goes on his next mission. Wish me luck!' Ruby then started to walk away. 'It was a great talk.'
-Cutscene-
Sasuke was fortunate enough that he didn't have to participate in the tournament because he was a one-man team. He could've used clones, but they of course didn't need to know that.
He watched as Team RWBY went against a team from Haven called Team ABRN.
It was mainly back and forth between the two teams, but Yang punched three of the members out simultaneously, ending the match.
'They have great teamwork.' Chikara said.
'Yeah they do.' Sasuke agreed.
'Annnd that's the match! Team RWBY wins!' Professor Port said.
'We did it?' Weiss started.
'WE DIID IT!' Said an exhilarated Ruby.
-Cutscene-
'Sooo Sasuke, how did we do?' Asked Ruby, eager to know his answer.
'You all did well. Great teamwork between each of you.' Sasuke said.
'Thanks Faunus boy, it's what Team RWBY does.' Weiss said.
'Although I would've liked to see you fight Sasuke.' Blake said.
'Yeah it would've been nice seeing you kick ass handsome.' Yang said.
'Swear! And I wish that too Sasuke, but too bad they can't d in the tournament.' Ruby's stomach then growled. 'Whew all that fighting got me hungry.' She said.
'C'mon I know just the place we can go.' Yang started walking then the group followed.
'Heyy might be hard to eat without this.' Said Emerald as she held Ruby's wallet.
Sasuke noticed she actually took the wallet instead of getting it off the ground.
'There she is.' Chikara said.
'Yeah she's the perfect description.' Sasuke mentally replied.
'Good to see you Ruby.' Emerald said.
'Thanks Emerald. Must've dropped it. Girl pockets are the worst.' Ruby said.
'And who's your sexy friend?' Emerald smirked as she looked Sasuke up and down.
Ruby scowled a bit. 'Hey! B-'
Yang put her hand over Ruby's mouth. 'His name is Sasuke. Sasuke, this is Emerald.'
Sasuke nodded towards her.
'A quiet one I see. Y'know what they say about them.' Emerald smiled seductively.
Ruby was seen fuming and screaming muffled obscenities.
'Ahem well Emerald, would you and your teammates like to get a bite to eat?' Weiss asked.
'Well how nice of you but my teammates are rather err introverted.' Emerald said. The group looked to see Mercury smelling a leather boot.
'That's the second one.' Said Chikara.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. 'Yes he is. There should be one more.' He mentally responded.
'What do you plan on doing Sasuke?' Chikara asked.
'I will let this game play out for right now to get a gist of their motives.' Sasuke answered.
'Well it was nice seeing you all. I will be taking my leave now. Bye sexy.' Emerald gave Sasuke a wink and smile.
Yang finally took her hands off Ruby's mouth.
'Swear when I get my hands on her.' A furious Ruby started.
'Yeaaah let's get a bite to eat.' Yang said.
The group went to a noodle stand and sat down.
Sasuke could see that Ruby was still bummed out. He secretly put his hand on hers and gave her a 'it's okay' look.
Ruby blushed and smiled sweetly at him. She squeezed his hand and whispered, 'thank you.'
'I'll have the usual please.' Said Yang.
A large bowl of noodles slid in front of her.
'I will have the same.' Ruby said.
A large bowl of noodles also slid in front of her.
'Do you perhaps have something with a little less sodium?' Weiss asked.
The caterer slid a large bowl of noodles in front of Weiss also.
Blake nodded towards him.
The caterer ran towards the back and came out and gave Blake noodles with fish on the top. Blake drooled at the sight.
'Do you all have tomato soup?' Sasuke asked.
'Eww why the tomato soup, handsome?' Yang gagged.
'Tomatoes are one of my favorite foods.' Sasuke said.
The man nodded and went to the back and came out with a big bowl of tomato soup.
Sasuke had to prevent himself from jumping in delight.
'Lunch on me.' Weiss said, handing the caterer her card.
'Awe Weiss, what's the occasion?' Yang asked.
'Consider it, thanks for getting me to the doubles round.' Weiss said.
The man scoffed and showed Weiss her card declined.
'What!? That was barely into my monthly allowance?' A confused Weiss said to herself.
'Maybe I can help.' Said Pyrrha, approaching with Team JNPR.
'Pyrrha!' Said the excited Rose.
'Awe you don't have to.' Yang said.
Blake quickly replied 'She could.'
'Well I think you all earned it after that battle.' A smiling Pyrrha said.
'Mind if we join you?' Asked Jaune
The group finished their food with haste.
Sasuke looked at his empty bowl with a small satisfied smile. That was almost close to Mother's.
He looked around and could see everyone was satisfied with their meals.
'Well we should be off.' Said Pyrrha.
'So you think you guys are ready?' Ruby asked.
'Of course. We have a world renowned fighter on our team, what's basically a ninja, and a massively improved Jaune! How can we lose?!' Nora said with confidence.
Jaune smiled as he heard Nora's compliment. All of his hard work was really paying off lately. He looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke nodded his head towards him. Jaune read his expression. 'Great job. Keep working hard.' His expression told him.
Jaune could only smile with gratitude.
Pyrrha saw the interaction and gave a proud smile. Thank you Sasuke. I'll make sure to make it up to you. She thought with appreciation.
'So yeah we're feeling pretty good.' Ren said.
'Don't fret if anything we should be looking toward a fight with actual guidelines and not err murder.' Pyrrha said.
'Yeah we all have faced way worse before.' Yang said.
Blake followed. 'Let's see. Grimm invasions, fighting an extremist, and destructive sociopath.'
'And that was all when we were in training! Imagine when we graduate.' An eager Ruby said.
Team JNPR please report to the battle grounds immediately.
'Well it's time.' Pyrrha said as Team JNPR walked off.
'Good luck!' Yelled Ruby after them.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke could see the improvements in Jaune's movement and swordsmanship. It lets him know Jaune has been working extremely hard on his own. He was just glad he didn't waste his time on him.
'Sasuke look.' Chikara said, directing Sasuke's attention across the stadium.
Sasuke could see Emerald, Mercury, and the black-haired woman watching the match.
'They're all here. I must let Amber know.' He mentally replied. Sasuke stood up from his seat.
'What's wrong Sasuke? Are you okay?' A concerned Ruby asked.
'Yeah I'll be back.' Sasuke used his Lightning Shunshin.
'Faunus boy better hurry up.' Said Weiss.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke arrived back in his room to see Amber….in a towel.
'AHHHH!' Amber screeched in fear.
'Oh shit my bad.' Sasuke quickly exited the room.
'Damn Sasuke, didn't know Jiraiya trained you in his ways.' Chikara chuckled.
'Shut up Chikara.' Sasuke said with a grimace.
'You can come in now Sasuke.' Amber said.
Sasuke walked in. 'My bad again. I didn't know you got out of the shower.'
A now fully clothed Amber blushed and smiled seductively. 'Y-You just surprised me Sasuke. I w-wouldn't mind you seeing me like that.'
Chikara whistled. 'My man Casanova Sasuke.'
'How can you even whistle?' A confused Sasuke mentally questioned.
'I have something to tell you.' Sasuke sat down on his bed.
'What is it Sasuke?' Amber sat down after him.
'Those people you described are at the tournament.' Sasuke bluntly said.
Amber immediately got up fiercely. 'What are we waiting for!? Let's kill them!' She seethed.
Sasuke stood up and put a calming hand on her shoulder. 'Not now. We have to play this out right.'
Amber calmed down a tad bit. 'B-But Sasuke we have to do something before they hurt anyone else.'
'Trust me I understand, but right now we must figure out their plans.' Sasuke said.
Amber took a couple deep breaths. 'Okay. What have you learned so far?'
'For right now, I know they are participating in the tournament. The silver-haired one, Mercury, has figured out one of the top student's semblance. I know it goes deeper than that.' Sasuke said.
Amber nodded. 'Yes, it has to. They are planning something.'
'We will be ready for whatever they have.' Sasuke said. 'Here let me help you. I want to restore your powers in full.'
'Wait you can do that?' A surprised Amber asked. 'Impossible.'
'Let me show you.' Sasuke put his hand near Amber's stomach. He activated his Eternal Rinnegan for a millisecond and used it to see her Fall Maiden power. I see. He thought.
His hand then glowed orange and the other half of the Fall Maiden power entered Amber.
Amber stared in shock. 'H-how?'
'One of my abilities. Anyways, what was your weapon?' Sasuke asked.
'I-It was an extendable staff with a wind dust crystal on one end and a fire dust crystal on the other.' Amber said, still shellshocked.
Sasuke used, Creation of All Things to create the weapon. 'Is this it?'
Amber's eyes widened. 'T-this is exactly it. How did you…' She said as she took the weapon.
'Another one of my abilities.' Sasuke said. 'Now that you are set, I have to take my leave. You stay here for now.' He said as he walked out.
Who exactly are you Sasuke? Amber thought with intrigue.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke walked to the courtyard because he knew the tournament was on a small hold for now.
He could see a crowd form around a fight.
Sasuke watched as a black-haired huntsman and white-haired huntress got into it.
Weapons were shot. Craters were formed,and pieces of Beacon were destroyed. He could tell they weren't going all the way out.
The short-lived battle ended when General Ironwood came and reprimanded the huntress. Who he assumed worked for him.
He heard Ruby yelling, so he walked toward her voice.
'Uncle Qrow! It's so good to see you! Did you miss me!?' Ruby latched on his arm.
'No.' Qrow smiled at her and rubbed her head.
'Ruby.' Sasuke called her, walking up.
'Ooo-' Ruby jumped down and grabbed Sasuke's hand. 'Uncle Qrow, meet Sasuke! Sasuke, my Uncle Qrow.'
Qrow narrowed his eyes. 'Sasuke huh?' He held his hand out. 'What business do you have with my niece?'
'Uncle Qrow! Sasuke's not like that!' Ruby chastised.
Sasuke shook his hand with an ironclad grip. 'Ruby and I are good friends.' He said.
Ruby's heart tinged a bit. I hope we can be more than that one day Sasuke. She thought longingly.
He is strong and didn't crack under pressure. Qrow thought. 'Oh is that right? Well you take good care of my niece or I'm coming for ya.'
Sasuke got the hint. He would do the same. Even if there was nothing Qrow could've done to him.
'Qrow, a word please.' Ozpin showed up and said.
'Well you guys I think I'm in trouble. Remember what I said, Sasuke.' Qrow walked off with Ozpin.
'Don't worry about him Sasuke. My Uncle tends to be overprotective sometimes.' The Rose said.
'It's alright. I understand.' Sasuke said.
'I can see where you get your quirkiness from.' Weiss said, approaching.
'You just mad cuz he kicked butt!' Ruby laughed.
'Eh whatever. Let's head back. The tournament is about to start again.' Weiss said.
The trio then left.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke watched as Mercury and Yang took the battlefield.
Many different battles happened already. Sasuke made sure to pay close attention to the one with Mercury and Emerald versus Coco and Yatsuhashi. He studied their moves and already had the imagery in his mind. He knew that Emerald had this illusionary semblance. It was nothing compared to his eyes. He saw through it clearly. Although it seemed it affected the person she aimed for. Like hallucinations if you will.
Yang and Weiss also had a battle against Flint and Neon. He thought they did pretty good, but as for the other team, roller skates in battle? That was bound to be a downfall sooner or later.
Penny absolutely decimated the members of Team CRDL with no difficulty.
'3,2,1 Fight!' He heard Professor Port yell.
Yang punched and Mercury kicked. It was a clash.
They separated and charged again.
Throughout the fight, it was mostly a stalemate until Yang used her semblance.
She punched Mercury hard in the stomach and he landed on the ground.
'The winner is Yang Xiao Long!' Professor Port said.
'Yeah you did it sis!' Ruby cheered.
'Way to go Yang!' Blake followed.
'Better luck next time.' Yang turned around.
'There's not going to be another next time Blondie.' Mercury said and charged a kick at Yang.
Sasuke's eyes sharpened as he looked across the stadium and could see Emerald using her semblance.
-POW!-
Yang shot Mercury in the leg.
The crowd booed and groaned.
'Yang Xiao Long stand down!' Said an Atlesian Knight.
'Wait huh?' A confused Yang said before looking at the billboard screen. She could see a different video from what happened in her eyes, play.
'That was a foul play.' Chikara said.
'Indeed it was. They want Yang disqualified, but for what reason?' Things just got more complicated.
'Do you feel that Sasuke?' Chikara said.
'Yeah I do.' Sasuke could sense many Grimm on the outside.
'We must go to Yang c'mon Sasuke!' Ruby said in a hurry.
Sasuke followed after her.
-Cutscene-
'I'm sorry, but you've left us with no choice.' Said General Ironwood.
'But he attacked me!' Yang pleaded her case.
'Video footage and millions of viewers say otherwise.' Ironwood said.
'But Yang would never do that!' Weiss persuaded.
'Yeah!' Ruby followed.
'The sad truth is whether it was an accident or an assault, it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student, so it's my job to inform you that you're disqualified.' Ironwood said then left.
Yang looked on in sadness and sorrow.
'Y-you guys believe me right?' A hopeful Yang said.
'Duh! You're hot-headed but not ruthless!' Weiss defended.
Yang looked at Sasuke. 'S-Sasuke?'
This was the first time Sasuke heard Yang call him his actual name. He knew this was serious for her. 'You would never attempt that if you didn't feel threatened.' Sasuke could've told them what had actually happened, but that would be blowing his cover. He didn't want them to hinder their plans.
Yang smiled sweetly at him. 'Thanks handsome.' She then turned towards Blake. 'Blake?'
'If Sasuke said you didn't do it then I'm positive you didn't.' Blake said. Even though Blake trusted Yang, she felt slightly iffy about the situation because of her knowing that people can change. Even the most innocent, but she knew she trusted Sasuke's judgment if anyone's.
'We should give her space. Let's go guys.' Blake said, starting to leave.
Sasuke was the last one leaving. He put his hand on Yang's shoulder. 'Keep your head up. You've done nothing wrong.' He nodded towards her.
Yang gave him a cute smile as he left. I appreciate you, Sasuke. She thought.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke found himself sitting on a bench outside. He just got done talking with Team RWBY and Team JNPR and told them he wanted some air. Now here he is.
He figured now would be a good time to look at his new abilities he obtained from his last quest.
[New abilities acquired!]:
[Nature's Will]: Unlike Sage Mode, the user does not have to be still and can draw natural energy at will for offense or defense.
[Faunus Mimicker]: Allows the user to take the appearance and use abilities of any Faunus.
[Semblance Giver]: Allows the user to grant another with more than one semblance.
Now these were great new abilities. Especially the nature one. With Remnant brimming with natural energy all around. It will prove very useful. He couldn't wait to test them.
Sasuke heard footsteps walking up to him. He watched as Pyrrha sat down beside him.
'Hey Sasuke. Enjoying your time?' She asked.
'Hn yeah it feels nice. Do you need something?' The Last Uchiha questioned.
Pyrrha looked down with a downcast look. 'Sasuke can I ask you something?'
Sasuke looked at her attentively. 'Go on.'
'What do you think about destiny?' She asked.
Sasuke contemplated the question. How many times has his destiny changed? He doesn't know the answer. Between Itachi, learning the truth, wanting to destroy the Leaf, then wanting to be Hokage, wanting a revolution and now, being in a new world. He decided that his destiny lies in his hands and was determined by him.
'Destiny..Destiny can be altered.' Sasuke started.
Pyrrha gave him a look. 'What do you mean Sasuke?'
'In the beginning, I went through my life with one purpose, one goal and went through everything to achieve it. When I eventually accomplished that goal, I felt nothing. Purposeless, and then my life changed once again.' Sasuke said.
Pyrrha looked at Sasuke with an intense gaze. 'It changed again?' She said.
Sasuke nodded. 'Yes. A different goal. My morals changed and me as a person changed entirely. Lemme tell you this. You create your own destiny. Whether it be good or bad is determined by your actions. Stay true to yourself and do good for others.' Sasuke finished.
[Pyrrha will remember that.]

plus 20 closeness with Pyrrha
'T-thank you very much Sasuke I needed that.' Pyrrha then gave Sasuke a tight hug. 'More than you know.'
Sasuke wasn't really used to receiving hugs, but he still rubbed her back in return. 'It's okay Pyrrha.' He said.
Pyrrha gave him a big loving smile. She tightly grabbed ahold of Sasuke's hand and laid her head on his shoulder. 'I-I have something to tell you.'
Pyrrha's touch was making Sasuke feel a long-lost feeling. Sasuke still kept himself together. 'What is it?' He asked.
Pyrrha took a breath. 'I L-'
'Oh shit I-I hope I'm not interrupting anything.' Said Jaune, walking up.
Pyrrha let out a disappointed sigh. 'No,not at all. I was beginning to take my leave.' Pyrrha stood up. 'I'll tell you, a different time Sasuke.' She whispered to him. She then left with Jaune.
'The cold Uchiha having feelings? What a surprise aha!' Chikara laughed.
'Not a chance.' Sasuke defended.
'Yeah right.' Sasuke could hear the smirk in his tone.
'Whatever.' Sasuke said as he left.
-Cutscene-
'Mercury what are you doing. You were hurt. What's going on?' A wary Ruby asked him
Ruby was beginning to watch the tournament until she saw Emerald. Going to question her, she caught Mercury. He blocked her path.
'Fighters, are you ready?!' Dr. Oobleck yelled.
Pyrrha and Penny got in their fighting stance.
'3,2,1…Begin!'
Penny used her array of swords and shot them at Pyrrha.
Pyrrha ducked under them and charged at Penny.
She slashed her spear at Penny, but Penny quickly retrieved her swords and blocked the attack.
She sliced and diced a barrage at Pyrrha. Pyrrha blocked them, but was hit back on the last slash.
It was mainly back and forth between the two until Pyrrha thrusted Penny back.
Penny quickly got back up and used her aura and charged at Pyrrha. She blew her back.
Penny brought her swords back behind her, ready to shoot them at Pyrrha again.
Emerald used her semblance with haste to make the swords seem as if they were millions of them.
Penny launched her swords at Pyrrha.
An overwhelmed Pyrrha quickly used her semblance. Penny's swords shot back at her about to rip her apart.
The wires wrapped around Penny.
-Crrrttttt!-
Penny fell dead on the ground as her body was in pieces.
Ruby saw the altercation happen and dropped on the ground and started crying in sorrow.
A woman's voice from the intercom started talking. 'This is no-
'You will pay…'The woman's voice stopped talking.
'You will pay for what you've done. You will pay for making Ruby cry.' Sasuke was seen. His eyes flashed red with his RinneSharingan. Bloodlust leaking from him. Sasuke knew he had to do something first.
He summoned the King of Hell with his Naraka Path.
People were heard exclaiming in shock, fear, and awe at seeing it.
Sasuke slightly relaxed as he grabbed the parts of Penny with care. He nodded at the King of Hell and it grabbed the parts with its tongue.
Everyone saw as it began chewing the parts and then after a bit it spit something out. The being disappeared.
Penny was seen. Healthy and rejuvenated.
'Penny!' Ruby and Pyrrha ran at her and hugged her.

'Ready when you are Sasuke.' An extremely eager Chikara said.
'Now! HAAAA!' Sasuke and Chikara's voices yelled in sync.
