I have nothing better to do anyway so, how about we bring in the rest of the cast into the mix, huh? Where were we? Ah, we were about to watch a fight so Ladies and gents, grab your popcorn, sit down, and relax, let's get going. Take note again that as usual, Akuma and Asura are voiced in Japanese
The Forest, with Akuma and Asura
The Master of the Fist and the Deity of Rage looked upon the new creatures, not resembling anyone or anything they have seen before. The wolves slowly circled their supposed 'prey', waiting for the right moment to pounce.
Akuma sensed something unusual about these creatures. They emitted an aura, a specific feeling that he was in no way, a stranger to. This was the killing intent they emitted, though not the Satsui no Hado, it was eerily similar to it.
Asura on the other hand was simply annoyed at the fact that the wolves had interrupted one of his most interesting fights, an irritation shared by his opponent. His new goal was to annihilate the creatures so that he could go back to fighting the Master of The Fist. The two warriors were focused on the wolves that they failed to notice the airborne vehicle hovering above them, but not close to them.
The wolves decided that it was time to strike and one of them lunged for Asura. Asura saw the attack and caught the beowolf mid-air with a right punch to the skull of the beowolf, shattering the bone mask and crushing its skull, killing it. Another wolf lunged straight at Akuma but Akuma sidestepped the wolf, turned around, and deliver a medium Goshoryuken uppercut to the chin of the wolf, and he punched right through the mask and the skull. Pulling his hand out almost immediately, he cupped his hands to follow up with a Gohadoken (appearing now as a red fireball the size of an average soccer ball) to another wolf that was still contemplating attacking him.
Asura, on the other hand, lunged at superhuman speed appearing as a blur to the grimm and spectators, head first into the group he was facing with his fist cocked back. On reaching his targets, he delivered a crushing blow to the gut of a beowolf and followed up with a kick to another, knocking it into a nearby tree. The remaining beowolves saw his form as another call to attack and another beowolf lunged towards the Rage Deity, only for it to get dodged, and punched in the head sending it flying off the neck of the beowolf grimm and killing it. He quickly lunged and grabbed the head of a beowolf , jumping high into the air and throwing it down with a loud shout before pointing his palm towards the creatures and firing a multitude of red mantra energy blasts towards the grimm.
On the other end of the clearing, Akuma can be seen staring into the red eyes of the second half of the pack. He had chosen to take a rather energy-saving approach as he also planned to continue fighting the God of Rage after dealing with the interruption. The grimm began to come at him, all at once in an attempt to kill him but he did not move or show any sign of fear. Once they had gotten close enough, he changed his stance, his upper body now facing sideways. With a grunt, he spun and hit a beowolves with a Hurricane Kick, sending the beowolf flying into another beowolf and crushing both against a tree. The remaining beowolves progressed and one lunged directly at him, a very bad idea. Akuma dodged the beowolf and hit it with a right hook to the chin, quickly following up with a heavy punch to the gut of the beowolf, crushing its insides and killing it.
'So much killing intent and you end up being weaklings, hmph', Akuma thought, severely disappointed by the fact that despite the beasts possessing killing intent and feral-like instincts, they could still not come even remotely close to being a challenge to either him or Asura.
His body flashed red as he sprinted past the pack of beowolves, delivering very quick, strong and precise killing blows to a few of them. A right hook to the gut of one, followed by a swift heavy kick to the neck of another, sending it into three more beowolves and effectively killing them off. He cupped his palms once more and another orb of purple energy began to form in between his cupped palms
"MESSATSU GOHADOKEN!" He yelled as he released the EX projectile towards the charging beowolves. The projectile barreled towards the grimm a bit slower than the first one but as soon as it made an impact with the head of a beowolf, it exploded, claiming the lives of about ten beowolves and sending a loud booming sound into the forest
"Pathetic creatures! I will show you….the true meaning of pain!", Akuma yelled as he dodged another beowolf and flashed red for a moment, using the Ashura Senku to phase through the beowolf attacks before flipping into the air and landing in the middle of the pack. He raised his right hand towards the sky as an orb of crimson red energy began to gather atop his palm.
POV Change: Ruby Rose, 3 Minutes Ago
All the students in the bullhead sat perfectly still, shocked at what the Vale News Network was broadcasting. The two men were fighting and annihilating the beowolves with such strength and speed that not even a veteran huntsman could muster.
"Those guys are….AWESOME!", Yang said as she watched the two fight off the grimm
"Yeah, they are, but what just kind of semblances do these two have?" Blake asked
"Well, the red-haired man did just throw a literal exploding fireball, so his semblance might be fire", Ruby replied
"No kidding. That looked painful, but it sure was cool", Nora stated with practical stars in her eyes
"And as for the other one, he seems to possess a lot of strength, so that might be his?" Phyrra said, "What do you think, Jaune?"
Said blond boy just sat still, watching the fight with so much interest but looked up at the mention of his name and bluntly replied "I agree with you Pyrrha", before looking back at his scroll
"It doesn't matter. All that matters is that those two are destroying the forest and causing a lot of damage to…..", Weiss said before being interrupted by Nora
"He just went right through them!" She yelled
"Don't interrupt me, you….what did you say?" Weiss asked
"It seems like he just phased right through the grimm", Ren replied, affirming Nora's statement
"Also, what did he say", I asked
"It resembles the language the ancient Mistrilian people used to communicate" Ren stated, answering our questions
"Whatever he said, it must definitely mean something awesome", Nora said
"WOW!" Yang exclaimed as she watched Asura fire the barrage of mantra blasts while airborne, nailing every single beowolf below and annihilating them quickly.
"He can fire energy blasts as well, that's totally AWESOME", Yang and Nora said the last part simultaneously.
"So that rules out our guesses of their semblances", Pyrrha said, dispersing their guesses
"Whatever their semblances are, they sure are strong",
"What's that in his palm?" Weiss asked.
The other students and I watched in awe as the energy orb in the red-haired man's hand started off as a twinkle, then increase to the size of a tennis ball, then increased in energy concentration as the color changed from a dull red to a brighter and more radiant purple. The weird-looking lion man stood in the center of almost fifty beowolves while his partner assumed a combat stance facing a little above forty. We thought that they had been overrun and they were using last-resort attacks to defend themselves.
It…was the opposite. Our thoughts were interrupted by the bullhead pilot, announcing that we were very close to the site and had landed since closing in further could lead to damage dealt to the vehicle. We got off, led by Professor Goodwitch, and began our short jog toward the scene.
We could hear the thuds that sounded when their punches or kicks had found their marks from the attacks, accompanied by the painful howls and whimpers that escaped the beowolves before they died
Perspective: Asura and Akuma w/Lisa Lavender
The Self-Proclaimed Master of The Fist and the Wrath Deity continued to utterly annihilate the beasts, showing no signs of struggling in any way. They viewed the grimm as pests, interruptions to their main goal- Obtaining victory in their long battle. In mere seconds, they had destroyed the first pack of almost eighty beowolves only for the dead ones to get replaced by more in its place. Asura, having just about enough of the creatures let out a battle cry. Filled with rage beyond measure, he literally began to emit more energy, bound on obliterating them quickly. Four more arms suddenly emerged from his back and he began emitting even more red Mantra energy, fueled by his anger for being interrupted from a friendly but interesting battle by nothing more than weak creatures of darkness.
"Dark creatures my ass! You will DIE", Asura yelled as he assumed and settled into another form, a total of six arms emerging from his torso, all covered in gold and wielding glove-like gauntlets. This was Six-Armed Vajra Asura.
He charged once again with a loud battle cry, faster than his normal speed which was already pretty fast, and slammed his fists into different beowolves, punching his way through them. He'd punch one in the head, crushing it, before following up with several attacks that basically one-shot and crushed the remaining grimm. With no given time to react, the beowolves fell like flies in a matter of seconds and all that remained were the fading corpses that lay at the feet of the demigod
"This is simply amazing. The strangers seem to be clearing out the grimm with such ferocity that no huntsman or even grimm has ever displayed!", Lisa stated into the microphone as she observed and did her best to describe how Asura and Akuma were obliterating the grimm
"The man with the golden arms seems to have grown…. more arms. Could this be his ace in the hole or just another trick up his sleeve?" She asked no one in particular.
Said 'man with golden arms' turned around to face his opponent, expecting him to have been done with the creatures swarming him
"And the fanged stranger also seems to be….." Lisa said but she was cut off by Akuma's voice echoing through the forest, calling out the name of one of his most devastating Rage Arts
"KONGOU KOKURETSU ZAN!"
Akuma quickly brought his open palm to meet the ground, along with the seemingly minuscule orb of energy in his hand. As soon as the orb made contact with the ground, a miniature earthquake occurred, shaking a portion of the Emerald Forest down to Beacon and Vale. The people in Vale and at Beacon were inconvenienced by the unexpected earthquake and most made complaints or comments, all along the lines of
"How did this happen?", "Isn't that enough for a day?", "First a meteor, then an earthquake"
What happened next shocked every single person as a large pillar of crimson red energy erupted from the ground where Akuma had hit, destroying everything, grimm, and vegetation in a one-mile radius as well as leaving a huge crater of destruction in its wake. The heat could be felt from a little distance away and inscribed boldly in the evening sky was the Kanji '天' large where everyone could see it.
The force of the impact was felt by the Beacon Teams and their Professor, who created a shield to protect them but failed as the shield broke and sent them flying back, landing on their butts and temporarily knocking them down.
"He's gonna get it now", Yang said in anger as she and her teammates got back up, her eyes turning from lilac to red and her hair igniting into flames as she was set to fight whoever did that.
As for who felt the impact the most, the energy from the geyser had made an impact on Lisa's bullhead, sending it spiraling out of control. Lisa and her cameraman had little time to react to the attack as they both fell off the edge of the bullhead, sending them plummeting towards the ground at a high speed from a lethal height.
Lisa and her cameraman screamed as they headed for their deaths. They truly believed that their time had come. Ruby and her team caught sight of them falling from the sky and decided to help them first before apprehending the two strangers
"Big sis, we gotta help them first", Ruby replied before dashing off to help Lisa
"Besides, fighting someone who can do, THAT, is a bad idea, you dolt", Weiss said in an attempt to discourage Yang but it didn't work.
At this moment, team JNPR, who took the brunt of the force got up. Pyrrha and Weiss followed behind Blake and Yang to help Ruby with Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Goodwitch following a little farther behind.
Ruby used her semblance to dash up a tree, leaving a trail of rose petals and reaching the top in virtually no time. She waited for a while and when Lisa got in range, she activated her semblance and jumped toward Lisa to catch her
Asura looked upwards just in time to sight the falling Lisa. Sure, he loved fighting. Granted, the damage was going to be done, but this? He did not agree with. No innocent had to die due to their fighting. Asura decided to take responsibility for Akuma's move and he leaped towards Lisa at an inhuman speed, catching sight of….
'WAIT A DAMN MINUTE', He thought as he flew towards Lisa
"Is that a… little girl? I'll deal with that later", He muttered to himself
As Ruby was about to make contact and catch Lisa mid-fall, a red and gold blur passed above her, catching both Lisa and her while Blake swung and with the aid of her weapon, managed to catch the cameraman. Asura landed in front of Akuma, whose kanji had faded from his back.
"Messatsu!", He called out from the middle of the destruction crate
Asura laid Lisa, who was unconscious from shock, and carefully set Ruby down. Ruby opened her eyes to look at her unorthodox savior before finding herself staring straight into a pair of white eyes. At this moment, Goodwitch and the rest arrived on the scene to see Asura kneeling in front of an unconscious Lisa and staring Ruby directly in the eyes. In front of them was the red-haired, fanged man with his arms crossed, witnessing the entire ordeal
"Mithra?" Asura asked in shock realizing how much Ruby looked like his kidnapped daughter, even sharing some traits with her and even him, the hairline, his silver eyes, and the damn face, looked nearly alike.
'If only she had a little longer hair', Asura thought to himself as he remembered his daughter but he was broken out of his thoughts by the sound of a girl yelling at him
"You there, what are you doing to my sis?", Yang yelled at Asura
"Calm down, Yang", Blake said from beside Ruby
"When a brute such as him," Weiss said pointing at Asura "is holding her hostage?" Weiss asked, clearly displaying her hostility towards Asura
Asura could read from their demeanors and behaviors that he presented the worst possible image of himself. 'Not a good start coming back', He thought
Yang rushed Asura but was held back by her team and JNPR.
"I'm gonna crush him", she yelled
"He hasn't done anything to Ruby so that can wait for now", Pyrrha replied, trying to talk some sense into Yang. It seemed to have worked for now.
Goodwitch stepped forward towards Asura
"I am terribly sorry for my student's acts towards you and I apologize for her actions," Goodwitch said to Asura
Asura did not know what she spoke of but since he didn't want to be hated by mortals he had to protect, he spoke
"Fear not. I am General Asura of Gaea. Whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?" Asura asked for their names. Not like it meant anything but to at least prevent hostility
Nobody understood what he said. He spoke in a language alien to everyone. Asura could see the confused looks on their faces except for Ren, who took it as an ancient Mistrilian Language.
"Lie Ren, nice to meet you Mr. Asura" Ren answered in Japanese, which Asura understood
Ren explained to them that he told them his name, Asura and he had asked for their names. In response, they took turns introducing themselve
"Hi, I'm Ruby Rose," Ruby said, now standing next to Asura
"Weiss Schnee. A pleasure to meet you", Weiss said, giving a little bow but still suspicious of the man with six arms
"Blake Belladonna" Blake introduced herself
"How on Remnant do you use six hands?" Yang asked
"YANG!" Weiss yelled and elbowed her partner
"I'm just asking, Weiss Cream", Yang stated "I'm Yang Xiao Long" She finally said, introducing herself
"Pyrrha Nikos", Pyrrha said as she looked at Asura, who returned with a quick glance of his own
The hyperactive girl announced herself with so much energy, "I'm Noraa", She yelled. Asura could tell that this girl was probably a thorn in their asses and the face of the boy next to her told the same story.
"The name's Jaune Arc," Jaune said with the most sarcastic fake smile he could muster but the Rage Deity saw right through his façade.
"Glynda Goodwitch", Glynda finally replied, still clearly suspicious of the man
Asura thought of these names as the weirdest he had heard in all his years but put away that thought as quickly as it came. Asura also quickly took note of the weird weapons they all had.
'A sword, spear, and katana, I understand but a damn Scythe?' he thought
He glanced around and took note of the people whose names he would find it hard to commit to memory, Maybe except Ren's
'Wait, Aren't I forgetting something?' he thought, as if on cue…..
"Rage God, I grow tired of this! Return so that we may continue our long overdue battle"
Akuma only stared at the events and allowed them to unfold while processing his thoughts. After waiting for half a minute, which he used to piece his mind back together from the strange pathetic creatures, and the weird events, not that he hadn't seen stranger, he called out to Asura.
"That's what I forgot" Asura muttered to himself
Asura gestured to them to step back. He took one last look at Ruby and couldn't help but think about his daughter.
'This one is for you' Asura thought, dedicating the final part of his bout to his wife and daughter, whom Ruby had reminded him of
He and Akuma stepped to the side, away from the people as they both assumed their combat stances. Akuma began emitting a crimson red energy which slowly turned purple. The pebbles around him violently shook and then cracked as his hair turned from red to white. He had transformed into his second form, Shin Akuma
"May the best one win!" Asura yelled, his face returning to its regular angry demeanor
Akuma grunted in response as his Kanji flashed on his back once more.
Two Days and this is all I could muster up. In all honesty, I have no idea what would happen with this, I'm freestyling so yeah! Asura and Akuma are about to go again and this time, they're gonna do it to the best of their limited prowess. Stay tuned for Ch.4
