Chapter 17: The Reveal Pt. 2
A bloodied Cinder was seen panting hard. Her battle with Amber led to the outside of Beacon.
Amber was unrelenting in her assault and didn't give her breathing space for one second.
How did she get her power back to full?! The angry and confused Cinder thought. No knowledge came in her head of anything or anyone being able to do that.
She knew she needed to figure something out because if she didn't, she could very well be dead soon.
She blocked another blaze of fire coming her way. She glanced down at the group below. Her eyes locked on Pyrrha.
An evil smirk formed on her face. She quickly dashed at Pyrrha and got her in a vice grip headlock.
Pyrrha started choking heavily.
'You let her go!' Amber angrily yelled at Cinder.
'Let her go, you coward!' Jaune got ready.
'And why would I do that?' A smirking Cinder said. 'I think I'd rather just kill her.' She laughed.
Cinder infused Fall Maiden power into her hand.
Cinder brought her hand back and was about to thrust it through Pyrrha.
'NOOO!' Amber screamed.
Pyrrha closed her eyes. I wish I had a chance to tell you, Sasuke…
Squelchh
Cinder eyes widened.
Instead of Pyrrha being in the intended spot. It was the guy from earlier.
Sasuke spit out globs of blood. He gave Pyrrha a weak smile. 'G-good you're o-okay.'
The now far away Pyrrha looked on in torment.
'A-as long as you're-' Coughs 'okay.'
Sasuke's head fell as his eyes closed.
'Hey guys what are y-' Team RWBY and Team JNPR ran up.
'sas-uke? SASUKE!' Ruby used her semblance to grab him and stop him from falling. Tears started falling down her eyes. 'N-no no no p-please wake up!' She shook him.
Jaune went beside Ruby and tears welled up in his eyes. 'B-Boss you c-can't die like this. Y-you were like a brother to me.'
A crying Pyrrha held one of his hands tightly. 'S-Sasuke t-tell me this is a clone because this can't be real r-right?'
Nora hugged Ren as she started crying. Ren looked on in dejection and sadness.
Yang got beside Pyrrha as tears fell from her eyes. 'C-c'mon S-Sasuke you can't just die on us like that. Nothing t-this small would kill you.'
A crying Blake rubbed her hand through his hair. 'N-not like this p-please..'
A despondent Weiss rubbed her back in comfort.
S-Sasuke n-no… A downcast Amber looked with sadness and sorrow.
[GAME OVER]

The real Sasuke stood on top of the Beacon tower and watched the interactions down below.
'I bet you feel like a horrible ass don't you Sasuke?' Chikara said.
Sasuke of course did feel very bad, but this was needed for him to experiment something.
When he did his knowledge search, he of course read the story of the silver eyed warriors. Ever since he met Ruby, he sensed this divine energy coming from her eyes. He figured she didn't know about it, but to unlock that energy it said that she had to focus on her loved one's and protecting them. Sasuke wasn't stupid and he would make it up to them later.
'Hahaha ain't that a delightful coincidence!' Cinder laughed. 'Now the rest o-
-ccCracKK-
Cinder got blown back by a ferocious punch to the face.
Ruby's fist was seen still held out. She lifted her head and glowing silver eyes glared at Cinder.
'You…youhave the nerve to laugh at him after you killed him.' Ruby looked at 'Sasuke's' dead body. She closed her eyes before glowering at Cinder. 'His death won't be in vain.'
A frightened Cinder looked in awe at the mythical silver eyes. W-When is it coming!? It should be now. Cinder thought with fearfulness.
ROARRR
The ground shook as everyone turned to see the Wyvern flying to their location at a fast pace.
Cinder sighed and smiled. 'And that is my call.' Cinder was about to disappear.
'NO!' Ruby's eyes glowed a flashing bright white color. After it happened, Ruby fell on the ground, passed out.
Cinder screamed in heavy amounts of pain as she quickly fled away.
Sasuke was about to jump into action.
'Leave this to them. Handle Cinder.' Chikara said.
Sasuke glanced down at them and nodded before disappearing in a lightning flash.
'Sooo what's the plan on handling the big ass Grimm dragon?' Yang asked.
Jaune glanced at Sasuke a last time before standing up. 'You all handle the Grimm and I will handle the Wyvern.' He said.
'B-but Jaune you can't do that all by yourself! It's suicide!' Pyrrha said.
'Sasuke would kill me if I let something happen to any of you Pyrrha. Don't worry about me, I will be fine. Take care of the Grimm alright?' Jaune gave a smile. Pyrrha didn't know what it was, but something in Jaune's eyes told her not to worry one bit.
'Make sure you come back intact. We will do as you wish.' Amber said. 'Everyone lets go!'
Everyone besides Jaune went to attack the spawning Grimm.
A sad smirk appeared on Jaune's face. Wish you were here to see this brother.
Jaune suddenly brought his Senju Chakra forth.
'Wood Release: Piercing Spikes!' Jaune yelled the technique.
Wooden spikes shot from both of Jaune's hands and pierced through the Wyvern's wings.
The Wyvern loudly screeched as it began to descend.
Jaune started sprinting at the descending Wyvern. He formed a sign.
'Multiple Wood Release: Clone technique!'
3 other clones started sprinting beside Jaune.
'You guys ready!?' Jaune yelled to the clones. The clones nodded.
'Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!' They yelled in unison.
Large wooden dragons wrapped around and bit down on sides of the Wyvern.
Jaune took out Crocea Mors and as the Wyvern descended, he slashed upwards.
'HAAA! Begone!' His sword sliced through its neck like butter. The other half of its body flopped on the ground. Ashes were seen as its life faded away. And that's that. A smirking Jaune thought.
-Cutscene-
An incapacitated Cinder was going as fast as she could to arrive at her destination. Salem is going to be upset at this. She thought with a grimace.
Her arm was gone, her voice was gone, and her eye was gone. She felt like a stuffed teddy bear that kids ripped open and tore apart.
'Where are you going?' A deep voice from right behind her said.
Before Cinder jumped back, she was turned around.
Sasuke had his Eternal Rinnegan activated. 'Allow me to borrow your mind for a second.'
Cinder screams were heard as Sasuke forcibly looked through her memories.
Sasuke then stopped. He could've used Human Path to look through her memories and then kill her, but he decided against it. She should consider herself lucky.
Now about this 'Salem' he deemed it would be rightful to send her a message of sorts. Sasuke grabbed Cinder by the scruff of her shirt.
'You tell Salem…Sasuke Uchiha is coming.' Sasuke gave her a cold and deadly smirk.
Cinder looked frightened. 'H-how are you s-still alive?' She somehow managed to whisper out.
'Just send her the message.' Sasuke dropped her unceremoniously and disappeared in a lightning flash.
Cinder looked shell shocked before finally leaving.
-Cutscene-
A now awakened Ruby held the 'dead' Sasuke's head in her arms and cried hard.
Jaune put a supporting hand on her shoulder. 'Yeah I miss him too Ruby.' Jaune looked downcast.
'Alright that's enough.'
Wait was that voice Sas-
The 'dead' Sasuke sneezed hard.
Everyone jumped away in alarm and panic.
'Wheww you guys don't know how long I've been holding that one in.' Sasuke's revealed clone stood up. 'How was the acting original? Oscar worthy perhaps?' The clone smiled expectantly.
'Shut up and dispel.' Sasuke said.
'Such a meanie bruh.' The clone fake pouted then poofed.
Sasuke turned towards the group.
'Hey.' He simply stated.
'SASSUKEE!'
Ruby, of course, was the first to hug him tight. 'D-don't scare me like that again.' She said with a big relieved smile.
Pyrrha jumped on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. 'I-I knew it had to be a clone. That attack was weak for you.' She subtly kissed him on the neck.
'Hol up before anyone else goes to Faunus boy..' Weiss started.
'What is it Weiss?' Blake said ready to also shower Sasuke with hugs.
'Faunus boy, the clone asked you a question about his so-called 'acting'…that means you had to be watching right?' A suspicious Weiss said.
'Oh shit…Run Sasuke.' Chikara said.
Ruby glared up at Sasuke. 'Is that true..Sasuke Uchiha?'
Sasuke felt a tiny feeling he hadn't felt in a long long time. He quietly gulped.
'S-sure.' Wait whoa hol up he was The Last Uchiha. The Hawk Faunus. A demigod. The Ten-Tailed Jinchuriki. This wouldn't scare him. What's the worst that could happen? Ahem. 'Yeah I did and so what?' He confidently said.
10 minutes later
Sasuke was seen laying on the ground with his hands clutching his very sore gonads. Chakra couldn't even save him from the beating the girls put on him. He heard Chikara in his head, laughing to death.
'Would've helped, but you kiinda deserved it boss, but it is nice to have you back.' Jaune said with slight pity.
'Can't deny that Sasuke.' Ren agreed.
Sasuke weakly flipped them off and they laughed.
Qrow was seen approaching with Taiyang and Ozpin.
'Is everyone okay?' He asked, looking each of them over.
'Uncle Qrow! Yes everyone is fine and dandy.' Ruby heard a groan. 'Well Sasuke's getting there.' She smiled innocently.
Qrow smirked. That's what I'm talking about Rubes. 'Well that's good. You guys managed the unimaginable today.'
'Yes I am extremely proud of you all and am glad you all are okay.' Ozpin said.
'Not trying to be rude, but Professor Ozpin where were you?' Yang bluntly asked him.
Ozpin adjusted his glasses. 'I had to handle an important task, but I am fine.'
Taiyang sighed. 'Luckily not much damage happened to Beacon because of you guys. It will only take Professor Goodwitch a few hours to repair.'
'What does that mean?' Jaune asked.
'It means you all can choose to stay at Beacon, or go home. For those of you who do stay, I have an urgent mission request.' Ozpin said.
'Ooohh that sounds fun!' Nora started getting excited.
Qrow helped Sasuke up. 'I heard you saved and took care of my niece. For that you are alright in my eyes Sasuke.' He gratefully said.
Before Sasuke could talk, he was lifted and engulfed in a hug.
'Yes! I am eternally grateful to you for protecting and taking care of my daughters.' Taiyang said with much thanks.
'Daaad stop it! You're embarrassing us!' Yang said, forcing him to put down Sasuke.
Sasuke looked bemused. 'Yeah anytime.' He replied to them.
'Well aren't you going to introduce us?' Taiyang said.
Ruby appeared by Sasuke's side. 'Dad this is Sasuke Uchiha and Sasuke, this is my Dad, Taiyang.'
'Well it is nice to meet you Sasuke and once again I give you my thanks.' Taiyang held his hand out.
Sasuke shook it. 'It's what I do.'
'You all can relax here in the meantime and decide on what you want to do. Amber, Qrow, and Taiyang, come, we have much to discuss.' Ozpin said.
Amber looked back. 'It was very nice meeting and fighting alongside you all today. I hope we can spar together one day.' She said with a big friendly smile. She then glanced at Sasuke and gave him a small nod.
Sasuke nodded back, knowing she would come by to talk to him later.
Amber then followed after the rest.
'I wonder what's the important mission Ozpin is talking about.' Pyrrha wondered aloud.
'Yeah we all do. Do you have any ideas about it Sasuke?' Blake asked.
'None at all.' Sasuke answered. If he could guess, it would be something in correlation to what's happened.
Penny and the teams walked up.
'Penny!' Ruby ran and gave her a hug. 'You're okay. Where have you been?'
'Hey there Ruby! I've just been helping people get to safety on safe Atlas ships and fighting the Grimm away too.' Penny hugged her back. Penny then turned her attention to Sasuke and walked to him.
'I-I died and you saved me…' A thankful Penny began.
'Yes I did. It was the only right thing to do.' Sasuke responded in a matter of fact tone.
plus 100 REP with Penny
plus 100 closeness with Penny
'Wait robots feel love too?' A baffled Chikara asked.
'W-well I appreciate you for it, Sasuke.' Penny hugged him tightly. 'T-thank you for being an amazing friend to me.'
Sasuke looked a little awkward, but still patted her back.
'Hey Sasuke right? The name's Coco and what you did back there was hella cool.' Coco said.
A blushing shy Velvet walked up next to her. 'Y-yeah you looked awesome Sasuke.'
'Sasuke I have to ask you something in private.' Jaune suddenly said.
Sasuke nodded and followed Jaune to a private space.
'Thank you for that, Jaune.' Sasuke sighed.
'Yeah I could tell you didn't like all the attention on you. Had to wing it for you.' Jaune smiled. 'I wish you would have seen my fight with the Wyvern.'
Sasuke proudly smirked. 'I did, through my clone's eyes and I must say, I'm impressed.' He said.
Jaune's eyes brightened. 'Really!?'
'Yes, I'm proud of how far you have come Jaune. Continue with the hard work.' Sasuke told him.
Jaune wiped a single tear. 'Y'know me Sasuke. All thanks to you and Pyrrha.' He held a fist out.
Sasuke's eyes slightly widened as he saw Naruto's fist in Jaune's place.
He closed his eyes and smirked. He fist bumped Jaune and they watched as the rest of Beacon was repaired.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke was back in his room. Beacon was fully repaired after a while, and when it was, he said his goodbyes to everyone. They protested him to stay, but he insisted that he was very tired, even though he wasn't a single bit.

[When these four relics are brought together, they can summon the God of Light and the God of Darkness.]
Now this has piqued Sasuke's interest to the maximum. So they actually do exist huh? All I have to do is get these four relics. Sasuke thought with intrigue.
Sasuke already knew of the relics because of Salem talking about them in Cinder's memories, but he doesn't recall her mentioning what they do when brought together.
He really wondered if one of them was close by and activated the ability.
A big circle on the right side of his vision popped up. A red location marker said that the relic was here at Beacon! From the looks of it, it seemed to be in some form of secret enclosure. Sasuke wanted to check it out immediately.
Sasuke summoned a Shadow Clone and nodded at it. The clone stayed in the room and Sasuke used his Lighting Shunshin to the enclosure.
Sasuke found himself in a bright rainbow colored room and he activated his RinneSharingan just in case.
He could see different flows of aura glowing through the walls.
He focused his attention forward and from what his eyes could see, it seemed to be some type of vault.
The vault was enclosed with powerful amounts of aura and-
'It seems to be some form of magic Sasuke.'
'Yes it does, but it shouldn't be a problem for you right Chikara?' Sasuke suggested.
Chikara grew eager. 'Whenever you're ready Sasuke.' Sasuke heard the smile in his tone.
Sasuke got prepared. 'Go Chikara!'
A Ten-Tailed Chakra infused hand grabbed the door of the vault and with little strength pulled it apart.
'Well that was easier than I thought it would be.' A disappointed Chikara said.
Sasuke walked through the opening of the vault and could see a glowing golden crown.
[Would you like to obtain the Relic of Choice?] [Yes]? or [No]?
Sasuke pressed yes.
[You now have the Relic of Choice!]
Sasuke knew it was time to head back and so he did. As he was leaving, he saw the vault disappear.
