Chapter 7: Tuffle's Revenge
Last time our hero stopped an attack on Vale by an unknown robot, this robot was stronger than Jason could imagine and was beaten to near-death after turning its attention to him, calling him a Saiyan. However, our hero managed to power up even further with unknown power and defeat the robot. Who made the robot, and what do they want with Jason? Find out now!
It was the last day before the trip, and everyone on Team JADE was exhausted haven trained for the past three days straight. Jason decided since they didn't have any classes on those days, he would call up Mura and tell him about the situation.
"Yes, this is an alarming situation. If you would like, I can have Kai bring you and your team here to train." Mura began.
"I believe it would help a lot even though we can't teach the other two members, Ki," Mura suggested over the scroll.
They immediately accepted the offer and began their training at the top of the mountain. Jason and Evan were doing their usual training breaking very little sweat while Damian and Alex were gasping for air next to them.
"How the hell did you guys train like this up here? There is no air here!" Alex complained as he fell on his back.
"Well, we got used to it, which made our stamina greater, and now we can fight with little amounts of air," Evan explained as he did one-handed handstand push-ups.
"Wow, no wonder you guys got so strong you trained here for years and trained like this, it's crazy," Damian said, wiping the sweat off his brow.
"Well, we did something a little different for the first year of training, but basically yeah," Jason said as he meditated.
"Really, what kind of training did you guys do?" Asked Alex. Both Jason and Evan's eyes went dark and said, "Rule one of Kai's training."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Damian asked.
"Rule two of Kai's training." They said simultaneously.
"Are you guys, okay?" Alex asked as he felt a sudden movement behind him.
"You heard them maggots, so let it go, now come with me. I have prepared for dinner." Kai said as he appeared behind Damian and Alex.
"What the hell, how did you do that!" Damian asked, jumping back.
"Same way he got us here now come on, let's go and eat before Jason eats all the food," Evan said, getting on his feet.
"Hey, I wouldn't eat all the food!" Jason complained as they walked to the dining hall.
"Living here with you for four years, say otherwise," Evan said as they reached the dining hall. After dinner, they decided to head back to Beacon to get ready for the field trip the next day.
"It was good to see you two again. I'm glad that you both managed to make many friends. I'm sure your mother would be very proud of you, Jason." Mura said as Team JADE got ready to leave.
"It was good to see you too, master. I hope we can see you again soon. And thank you, I think she would be too." Jason replied with a smile on his face.
"Well, you and your friends are always welcome. Just remember to not tell the others about Ki unless necessary understood." Mura ordered with a stern look.
"We understand, sir," Evan said.
"Good now, if this robot ever comes back or you find out anything else about it, I would like you to tell me so that I can help however I can," Mura said.
"Of course." Jason and Evan said simultaneously as Kai teleported Team JADE back to Beacon. Mura sighed as he was left alone.
"I feel that the time will come that Ozpin or I must tell Jason of his origins. I hope that the boy can understand why we hid it from him and accept that he is not from Remnant." Mura thought as he looked at the sunset. As the boys got back to their room, they collapsed on their respective beds.
"After all that training being able to relax for the next couple of days is going to be great," Damian said.
"Yeah, you said it." Alex agreed as they all fell asleep.
The next morning everyone gathered in the bullhead landing to go to the trip, and as Team JADE arrived, they were approached by Teams RWBY and JNPR minus a Jaune.
"Hey, guys, where have you been? You seemed to just disappear three days ago?" Yang asked.
"Oh yeah, we didn't have time to tell you guys, but we went on a small training trip," Jason answered.
"Wait, you guys went training without us?!" Nora asked, getting in all of their faces.
"Sorry, it was a last-minute plan we couldn't ask you," Damian responded nervously.
"Well, I hope your training was beneficial," Weiss said.
"Thanks, I think it was," Jason smiled.
"Where's Jaune, don't tell me he is still hanging out with Cardin?" Evan asked as he looked around for him.
"Yes, sadly, he has been avoiding us for the past couple of days," Pyrrha answered.
"What the hell is going on with them? Jaune has been acting weird for the past couple of weeks." Alex inquired.
"Whatever it is, I am sure he can handle it," Pyrrha huffed coldly, turning around.
"Wow, she still seems angry at Jaune. What happened?" Jason thought as the group turned to Glynda.
"Okay, class, today, we will be going to Forever Fall forest for a trip. however, there have been a few changes." Glynda began to explain.
"You see, due to the trip being pushed back, Professor Peach doesn't need as much sap, so we will also be going on another trip." Glynda began.
"We shall go to the Mirror Mountains with Professor Oobleck to learn about the history of the area." Glynda finished getting the attention of everyone.
"Aw, man Professor Oobleck that means there is going to be a long lecture that I can't hear him say," Ruby complained as they all got onto an airship.
"Wait, what are the Mirror Mountains?" Jason asked, having never heard of such a thing.
"You really never heard of the Mirror Mountains?!" Weiss asked, getting everyone's attention.
"Actually, I never heard of it either," Ruby admitted, a little embarrassed.
"Well, you see, the Mirror Mountains are these two beautiful twin mountains with the world's largest amount of natural ice dust deposits that are on the surface." Weiss began.
"The reason it has the name Mirror Mountains is that during the nighttime, it is said that the mountains reflect and magnify the moonlight in a beautiful array," Weiss explained.
"Because it's a natural wonder, no one is allowed to mine the dust inside," Weiss added.
"Wow, that sounds amazing," Ruby said, intrigued by the thought of the mountains.
"I wonder how bright it can get." Evan wondered aloud as they entered the airship.
As they got to the forest, they were told that each pair of partners will collect one jar of sap for Professor Peach. Everyone split up and started to gather the sap. However, Jaune was pulled aside by Cardin, who looked like he was up to something.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Cardin is definitely planning something." Jason thought as he sensed where Cardin was taking Jaune. Sadly they were out of earshot. Jason went to help Jaune, but Evan stopped him.
"Leave it to Jaune. We can't help them with everything. The first step to help him is for him to admit he needs help. That and to find his real strength." Evan spoke.
"Since when did you speak wisdom like that?" Jason questioned.
"The same time you gave Weiss that lecture," Evan replied, having been told by Jason the talk he had with Weiss.
"You looked up some quotes on the internet to use, didn't you?" Jason accused.
"NO!" Evan defended having been found out.
When he and Evan finished collecting the sap, Jason focused more on what was happening with Jaune and Cardin. His eyes widened when he sensed that Cardin and his goons were going to beat up Jaune. However, as he sensed the fight began, he felt Jaune's aura exploded with power then die back down.
"What was that? I didn't know Jaune had that much aura." Jason thought as he stood in place.
Suddenly he felt a dark presence near the group meaning a Grimm had come to attack them. Soon Cardin's teammates came running toward them, scared like children.
"Ursa, Ursa!" They yelled. As a loud roar rang through the forest.
"That's not good Jaune is over there!" Jason stated, getting Pyrrha's attention.
"Jaune is where the Ursa is, are you sure?!" She asked, looking concerned.
Jason thought for a moment about what to say. Mura never said he couldn't tell his friends about his Ki sensing ability, so he saw no reason to hide it from them.
"I can sense life energy, and right now, Jaune is next to Cardin in the direction Cardin's teammates came from. Plus, I feel death from that direction." Jason explained.
"Wait, Grimm, have no life energy. How can you tell the Grimm is there?" Weiss asked, looking confused.
" I wouldn't say I can sense it just the telltale chill that runs down one's spine when a predator is close by," Jason explained as the group got together.
"Yang, you and Blake go get Professor Goodwitch," Ruby ordered as Pyrrha ordered Ren and Nora to go with them.
"Alex, Damian see if you can get Cardin's teammates to calm their asses down, we don't want more Grimm to come," Jason ordered.
The remaining members of the group went to go help Jaune and Cardin, running as fast as they could. When they arrived on the scene, the Ursa was on top of Cardin. Cardin tried to crawl away from the dark creature.
As the Ursa threw its claws down to kill Cardin, it was intercepted by Jaune's shield, who guarded the boy. Jason and the others were about to go help but were stopped by Pyrrha.
"Wait," Pyrrha said.
"Wait?! Why they're in danger, we need to help?!" Ruby asked, confused at the odd request.
"Just watch," Pyrrha replied as everyone looked on at the fight.
The Ursa was being pushed back slightly by Jaune, who dodged its attacks that it threw at him and enduring any hits that landed. Even when Jaune was put down, he got back up and attacked the Ursa once again.
"He's not doing too bad, but still, he won't last much longer." Jason thought as he fought the urge to join the fight with every fiber of his being.
Suddenly both Jaune and the Ursa charged in to make one final blow, and during this, Jason saw that Jaune put his shield to low. But then he felt Pyrrha activate her semblance, pulling Jaune's shield up to block the Ursa's attack.
He crouched down from the attack then got up fast, swinging his sword with all his strength cutting off the head of the Ursa. The blonde knight was shocked at his victory, almost celebrating before realizing his exhaustion, so instead, he sat down.
"What did you do?" Ruby asked, having noticed that Pyrrha intervened in the fight.
"How did you…" Weiss began to ask as Pyrrha interrupted her to answer.
"Polarity. I can control the magnetism. It's my semblance." Pyrrha answered.
"Called it!" Jason said with glee getting the attention of the others.
"Still kind of cheap to help Jaune like that. But on the other hand, this might encourage him to get stronger." Jason thought.
"What are you talking about? You just saw it like the rest of us?" Weiss asked, looking confused.
"Oh, right, well, I noticed it during our fight in the Mistral Tournament last year," Jason answered, rubbing the back of his head.
"Yes, I guess you did. I forgot about that. I was shocked when you put two and two together," Pyrrha said while turning to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" Asked Weiss.
"Yeah, we got to tell them what happened," Ruby said as Pyrrha turned back around.
"We could. But I think they need this to stay between us." She said, continuing to leave afterward.
"Yeah, think what this will do for his confidence," Jason added, following Pyrrha. The rest soon did the same. As they all returned to the rest of the group.
Everyone prepared to get on an airship to head to the Mirror Mountains.
Before they did so, Glynda was punishing Cardin and his team for their actions. Much to the delight of many of the students there, they would be sent back to Beacon for detention. Unknown to the students or the professor, they were being watched by a small robotic device.
"Well, seems like my opportunity has come to kill the Saiyan. When he goes to this Mirror Mountains, he will be far enough from Vale that reinforcements cannot come in time to save him." Said the unnamed Tuffle as he got up from his chair.
"Now that it's complete, my android shall kill the Saiyan with ease. If those friends of his try to interfere, then they will be collateral damage. Even so, anyone who associates themselves with Saiyan scum shall die just the same." He continued saying as he walked over to a table with a body on it.
"It's time to begin my revenge." He smiled as he turned on the robot.
Mirror Mountains…
"Hello, students. I hope you are as excited to be here and learn about the mountains as I am." Doctor Oobleck greeted, running around everyone.
This caused everyone to groan. While they did like the fact that they would see the mountains, no one liked the fact that they would have to try and process everything that Oobleck was saying during this time.
"Well then, let's get started. We will explore the mountains learning about its history while small collect samples we've been allotted to take back with us." Oobleck began.
"Once we are done, we will come back here at dusk to look at the lights of the mountain," Oobleck said as he guided the students, and Glynda, into the mountains.
For the next three hours, they all went up and down the mountains collecting several samples from the bottom and top of the mountain as Oobleck explained its history and why they needed to get the samples.
"You see, the dust here is highly concentrated more so than any other, and we want to know why. So we must compare the dust from the bottom of the mountains to the top to see what they were like when the mountains first emerged and how they are now," Oobleck explained as everyone went down the side of the right mountain.
Once everyone was at the bottom, they all were gasping for air due to exhaustion. All except for the two teachers and Jason and Evan.
"Seriously, how are you two not exhausted?" Asked Blake, who stared at them in disbelief.
"We had to go up a mountain much larger than these, so this is nothing to us," Evan responded, crossing his arms.
Blake knew not to ask further. She understood once she finally recognized the two boys that they were much stronger than normal people their age. Especially when she first met them when she was in the White Fang.
Thinking on this, she hoped that neither would ever recognize her back for that but didn't worry too much about it, seeing as they never saw her face.
"Looks like we finished with an hour to spare. You all can go and rest up before the sunsets. In one hour, meet back here understood." Ordered Doctor Oobleck receiving several groans and cries of exhaustion as an answer as everyone went to eat.
"I thought that would never end." Ruby moaned as she fell onto her back.
"Yeah, that was worse than having to fight that Ursa." Jaune agreed, falling onto his butt.
They all began to talk with each other eating the food they had packed for the trip laughing as they enjoyed their time. However, Jason stopped what he was doing when he heard an odd humming noise coming from nearby.
"What the heck is that noise? I've never heard such a thing before?" Jason asked, confusing his friends and teammates.
"What are you talking about? There's no noise." Yang questioned with the others agreeing.
"Are you guys sure I can hear it plain as day, and I think it's getting louder?" Jason replied as he got up.
"Jason, are you okay there isn't any noise?" Ruby asked with concern.
"Yeah, dude, maybe you ate something bad," Evan suggested with equal concern placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. Jason was confused at what they said. He could clearly hear a humming noise, but apparently, it was just him.
"Have I gone mad? Maybe I should go and rest or something." Jason thought as he looked down. But the noise ceased to stop, and it grew louder and louder.
"Maybe you're right, but that noise is way to clear to be some sort of hallucination." Jason pointed out, looking over toward where he can hear the noise.
"Maybe it's something only a Faunus can hear," Alex suggested as he and the rest of the group got up.
"No, I don't think so," Blake argued with certainty.
"How would you know?" Alex asked, causing Blake's eyes to widen.
"I don't, but I don't think there would be such a thing that could make a noise like that here," Blake answered almost panic-like.
"Yeah, but still I…I need to check it out. I don't know how to explain it, but I need to find out what it is," Jason said as he walked in the direction where the noise came from.
"Wait, we don't even know if the noise is real. I think we should talk to one of the professors first before you do anything rash." Weiss pointed out as Jason began to leave. However, her words fell on deaf ears as Jason continued forward. In fact, he picked up the pace.
"Damn, looks like there's no convincing him how about half of us go after him while the other half goes to talk to the professors." Evan planned as he ran to catch up with Jason.
Everyone agreed, and so the group split up. Ruby, Blake, Pyrrha, Ren, and Damian followed Evan to chase after Jason while the rest went to tell the situation to the teachers. As they caught up with Jason, he had stopped in the middle of a field.
"It's here. It's coming from here, but what's making it?!" Jason questioned, looking around furiously.
"Dude, you need to calm down and stop, there is no noise even here, I still don't hear anything!" Evan yelled as he grabbed onto Jason.
"But I can still hear it. It's coming from right…." Jason began before he trailed off.
"What, what is it?" Ren asked as the others got to Jason.
"It stopped, the noise is gone, but why?" Jason wondered. Suddenly he and Evan sensed a new presence from overhead when a voice came out.
"The reason it stopped was that it was done serving its purpose leading you here." An Unknown voice proclaimed as everyone turned to look up. Everyone saw an old man with gray skin and matching hair who wore a lab coat like clothing was hovering in the air looking down upon him.
"Who the hell are you, and what do you want?" Evan asked as the man slowly came down until he hovered over the tops of the trees.
"I am Talon, the last remaining Tuffle scientist in the universe human, and my business here is none of your concern unless you wish to stay by the Saiyan," Talon answered, confusing the group.
"There's that word again. What does it mean?" Pyrrha asked.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked Talon, who looked annoyed.
"I mean the monkey if you value your lives, leave him to die here or perish along with him," Talon answered, shocking the group.
"What are you talking about? What the hell is a Saiyan? I am a faunus, and what did I ever do to you for you to want to kill me?!" Jason yelled, angered by the man's words.
"Has anyone ever told you to say one question at a time monkey, of course, you're a Saiyan. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here." Talon answered, only giving more confusion to the group.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Asked Jason again.
"The sound you heard earlier is specifically designed to attract your kind. Only a Saiyan can hear it, and I'm sure you already know no one else could hear it," Talon answered, causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock.
"Now, as to why I want to kill you. It's not that you personally did anything to me, but what your ancestors have done." Talon began.
"I am from a race known as the Tuffles, and I am the last of my kind. All due to the actions of your kind. My race was once a peaceful one that excelled at science on my homeworld Planet Plant." Talon began.
"That is until you vermin came when you arrived to decimate my people slaughtering everyone, woman, and children included until no one, but I was left when I escaped," Talon explained further, adding to the shock of the group.
"What are you talking about? You're talking like you, and I are aliens! I would know if I was an alien, and there is no way that I could be related to anyone that would slaughter innocent people." Jason yelled back, his anger building up even more.
"YOU ARE A SAIYAN MONKEY DECEDENT OF THE PEOPLE WHO SLAUGHTERED MY KIND. YOUR ANCESTRY IS ONE THAT IS SOAKED IN THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT. SAIYANS ARE THE CONQUER OF WORLDS THEY SLAUGHTER THE INHABITANTS OF PLANETS AND SELL THE PLANET OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, EVEN YOU WERE MOST LIKELY SENT TO THIS PLANET TO DO SO THE REASON YOU HAVEN'T IS BEYOND ME BUT EVEN SO, YOU SHALL DIE HERE FILTH!" Talon screamed as his anger burst.
Soon an unknown figure flew from the sky and hit the ground, causing dust to surround the group. "Oh, great now what?!" Evan questioned as everyone looked at the center of the impact. At the center was a man with skin similar to Talon's. However, he had several red lines scattered around his body.
"This is my ultimate creation making the android you fought a few weeks ago look like a children's toy in comparison. It adapts to your strength, and it will learn from this battle and get even stronger!" Talon declared as he landed next to his creation.
"It was you. You're the one that sent the robot to attack Vale!" Ruby claimed, glaring at Talon in the eyes.
"Yes, and I just so happened to be lucky enough to send it where the Saiyan was. I was surprised that it almost killed you but even more surprised by your sudden power-up. But now this model Shu is ten times stronger SO NOW PERISH!" Talon yelled as the android charged at the group.
It was countered by Jason, who slid under and kicked it straight up.
"Let me tell you one thing, pal, my name is Jason Shin, and I am nothing like these Saiyans you've you described, so if your so adamant on killing me, then bring it on because I'm not backing down and I won't let you hurt anyone else!" Jason declared as he dodged the androids attack from above.
"Your delusions don't concern me, Saiyan just perish!" Talon yelled back as a bullet went right by his head. Ruby cocked her Crescent Rose as she had just fired a round at Talon
"Well, you're gonna have to fight with us as well as him if you want to accomplish that!" She stated as everyone else brought out their weapons.
"Defending a Saiyan, well, if that's the case, then you'll die with him!" Talon shouted. The android then shoved back Jason as it fired an energy blast at the group, which shocked them seeing the attack.
However, it was intercepted by Evan, who fought back with his own blast. He struggled with the attack trying to hold it back, but he was losing ground. He eventually knew he couldn't stop it, so he redirected it into the sky. In the distance with the others, they stopped at the sight of the energy blast in the sky.
"That is new. I have never seen anything like that." Oobleck pointed out, adjusting his glasses.
"We need to call Ozpin. This seems to be more serious than we thought." Glynda suggested as they continued on. Back in the fight, everyone save a few were shocked at Evan's display of power.
"Listen, this thing is too strong for you guys. Leave it to Jason and I. Only we can block or counter those kinds of attacks." Evan requested, looking back at the others.
"He's right. We would only get in the way. Let's focus on the old man." Damian agreed. The others nodded and looked at Talon, ready to fight.
"If you think you can fight me, you're poorly mistaken, I may look old, but I have upgraded my own body to fight a Saiyan as well." Talon declared as he started to float in the air. Talon then shot several small laser Ki blasts in their direction, causing everyone to jump away.
"Great, this guy can shoot lasers too!" Damian complained, bringing up his sword.
"Well, I may not be able to shoot lasers, but I can do something similar!" Damian shouted as his sword began to glow.
He yelled with a loud roar as he sliced the air in front of him send an energy blade at Talon. However, Talon quickly countered with his own energy and continued to blast several energy blasts.
"Damn well, that didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?" Damian asked, with no one able to answer.
"I've got one." A voice spoke as two people suddenly appeared in front of the small group. Mura and Kai appeared in battle attire in front of the group.
"I will counter his blasts, and you all can go in for the attack," Mura informed as he gripped his staff tighter.
"Who are you?" Blake asked, surprised at the sudden appearance of the two.
"I am Evan and Jason's master. I am Mura, and this is their trainer Kai, although I doubt he will stay to help." Mura answered.
"Bitch you know it," Kai replied as he disappeared.
"Well, it's good to see you, sir. I didn't think I would see you again so soon." Damian greeted, looking happy for his appearance.
"But how did you know to come?" Damian asked.
"Evan messaged me the situation, and I immediately got ready. Now enough talk, we must fight," Mura answered, charging at Talon.
"Let's see how long you can last human," Talon said, shooting at Mura, who countered with his own Ki blasts.
The others soon got out of their shocked states and charged at Talon looking for an opening to attack. Jason looked over as he and Evan double-teamed the android.
"How the hell did you get the time to message Mura?" Jason asked his friend as he bent backward, dodging an attack.
"I had plenty of time when you and that Talon guy were arguing. I mean seriously, if he is smart enough to make a robot like this, then why not just have it sneak attack us while we were distracted by the conversation." Evan answered, back-flipping to dodge an attack.
"Well, let's be glad he didn't," Jason replied.
He proceeded to throw a punch at the android only for it to duck under it and knee him in the gut with frightening speed and strength. Evan went to hit it off, but his punch went through it, and it disappeared.
"The afterimage technique!" Evan gasped, surprised at the sudden speed. Then it reappeared behind him, hitting Evan in the back of the head, making him go to the ground.
"Shit, this thing is strong!" Evan cursed as he got up.
"Yeah, that old man wasn't kidding. This thing is stronger than the last one. We can't hold back, Evan. Even though our friends are here, we can't let this thing hurt anyone." Jason pointed out, charging to full power.
"Right behind you!" Evan replied while he too charged to full power.
They then charged at the android who blocked most of their attacks, but the two landed very few strikes. Then the two jumped back and blasted the android with a Twin Flare only for it to be countered by the android's own attack.
Even though Jason and Evan used a combined attack, they still struggled against the android's strength, but they kept their ground. Soon the blast blew up, and both beams ceased. Once the attacks disappeared, the android then flew into the air and circled the two fighters.
"Wait, this thing can fly! That's unfair!" Evan complained, annoyed at the android's abilities.
"Wait, it can fly, but it has no thrusters! Plus, earlier, Talon was flying as well. What if they used Ki to fly?" Jason questioned.
"Are you sure?" Evan asked.
"Not entirely, but it's worth a shot once this is over," Jason responded as the android descended upon them.
The two split away, blasting the android with Ki. However, it looked unfazed by the attack. It stopped and turned to Evan, charging at him with Ki in his hands.
"Crap," Evan said as he jumped away to avoid the attack, but with the android flying, it did little to prevent it.
Jason chased after it shooting several blasts at the android only to do no damage upon impact. It finally reached Evan and slammed the Ki blast into Evan's stomach, exploding on impact and sending Evan flying away.
"No!" Jason yelled, getting angrier and went to attack the android.
Back with Mura and the others, they were fairing much better, Mura and Talon seemed equally matched with their Ki abilities, and Talon had suffered many attacks from the others.
Ruby used her Crescent Rose to maneuver around Talon until she shot a round sending herself straight up and spinning around to attack. Talon blasted Ki at Ruby only for it to be knocked away by Mura's own blast, letting Ruby's attack land slicing Talon's chest.
"RRrrraggghhh!" Talon screamed in pain.
However, before he could recover, Damian and Blake came from behind him, landing two more powerful attacks in his back. Talon landed on the ground, his blood pooling as he bled out.
"Well, it seems your overconfidence was your downfall." Ren pointed out as he and the others circled Talon now defeated.
"If it wasn't for that man, none of you would be alive right now." Talon hissed as he looked up at the group.
"You don't know that for sure, Talon was it? These kids may have found a way to defeat you if I have never shown up. Your hatred and rage have blinded you. If you wish for peace, then give up on this hatred that you have for my student and his kind." Mura advised as he stood over the fallen Tuffle.
"Never, I will never forgive the Saiyans for what they have done. Even if I die, my plan will still come to fruition, my creation is far stronger than I am and will kill you all with ease." Talon swore.
"What kind of plan do you have if you plan to kill an entire species on your own?" Ren asked.
"You have already seen it. I lead the Saiyan here with a high-frequency sound that only Saiyans can hear to have my creation kill him." Talon began.
"But now afterward, it will spread throughout the universe, gathering all the Saiyans to this planet to die. I have spent years planning this when I found this planet, I knew it was perfect when I saw it." Talon explained.
"What do you mean why is Remnant the perfect planet for your evil?" Pyrrha asked the Tuffle, angry at his actions.
"This planet's moon is shattered, and as long as there is no moon or blutz waves around, then the Saiyans can never use their full power by going into the Oozaru transformation!" Talon started.
"My plan is full proof, and all the Saiyans will die!" Talon proclaimed as he laughed aloud.
"What does he mean, Oozaru transformation?" Ruby wondered.
"Now, Shu, kill them all with the Saiyan, leave no one alive!" Talon ordered, causing everyone to jump, seeing the android shoot several blasts at them. Before it could reach through, Jason blocked the blast and redirected it into the sky.
"Looks like you guys finished your fight already. That's good." Jason said as he looked back at his friends.
However, all they could see was Jason's battered and beaten body, his clothes were torn, his entire shirt was gone, and his pants torn. He was bloody all over and looked exhausted.
"Jason, are you okay?!" Ruby asked, concern on her face.
"Yeah, you look like you've been through hell!" Damian added with equal concern.
"Of course, he has my creation shall kill him, and the rest of you soon. It has still yet to show it's full power!" Talon smiled while on the ground.
The android charged at them but was intercepted by Evan shooting a blast from its left side. Evan looked in even worse condition than Jason. His clothes were just as damaged, and his wounds were worse than Jason's. The fact that he was even standing was nothing short of a miracle.
"I don't believe it, it's so strong that some of the strongest people I know can't beat it!" Damian gasped, looking concerned. Before the android could throw another attack at them, two arrows infused with energy hit the android but barely did any damage.
"Looks like you guys need help." Alex pointed out as he got everyone's attention. Looking over, they saw the rest of the students on the trip, along with the teachers, had finally arrived.
"What's going on here?!" Glynda questioned as she and the others arrived.
"Well, reinforcements have come for you, but it matters not, you shall all die the same!" Talon screamed.
The android started attacking once again, first going towards Jason, who barely held his ground until he was kicked away. As this happened, the teams rejoined each other to figure out the situation.
"Ruby, are you okay? What's going on?" Yang asked as she hugged Ruby.
"Well, this crazy old guy made that robot, then he said he wanted revenge and is going to kill Jason because of something about plants and the killing of." Ruby began getting skeptical looks from her friends.
"I'm going to assume a majority of that was wrong." Weiss sighed.
"That man claims to be from another planet and that his people were slaughtered by Jason's ancestors who are also aliens apparently and wants to kill Jason for it," Blake explained, catching everyone up.
"Aliens?! You can't be serious!" Weiss denied not fully believing what she was told.
"Whether or not it's true, the is a man here who looks to hurt one of our students, and we cannot let that happen," Glynda stated, getting ready for a fight. Everyone seemed ready for battle but was blocked by Mura.
"I know that you all are eager to fight the android, but you all would just get in the way. Just stay back and let us fight. You can shoot the android from the distance if you want to help." Mura advised. He got several nods from the students, but the professors still got up.
"Sorry, but we are teachers at Beacon. If one of our students is in danger, then we must help." Oobleck declared, getting out his weapon.
"Very well, then let us fight!" Mura replied as he charged into the battle, followed by Oobleck and Glynda.
"We can't just sit here and do nothing. I vote we look for an opening and fight!" Yang said, slamming her fists together.
"Yeah!" Ruby agreed.
"I think that is a bad idea, but I know you'll just do it anyway," Weiss commented, bringing out her weapon.
"Oh yeah, let's break this robot!" Nora smiled. The android was currently throwing Jason through nearby trees. Before it could continue with its attack, it was blasted in the back by Mura.
Then Glynda used her semblance to take the remains of the trees and slam it into the droid, followed by Oobleck shooting several fireballs from his weapon. However, this barrage of attacks was useless as the android came out unscathed and went in for a counterattack.
It punched at Mura, but he managed to block in with his staff, but it was broken in half during the process. It then kicked Mura in the gut sending him flying away. Afterward, it turned its attention to Glynda and Oobleck, and it attacked them with incredible speed knocking them both away, putting them almost out of commission.
"Now!" Ruby yelled as the group all charged at the android. Yang punched it in the face knocking it back a bit, followed by Blake jumping over her and slicing it several times.
Before it could recover, Nora came slamming her hammer into its chest, sending it flying away. However, it was stopped by Pyrrha's semblance as she pulled it back in. Ruby then shot forward with her semblance and slice right at the android's stomach and going and flew past it once she hit her target, she then landed on one of Weiss's glyphs, sending her back at the android, hitting it in the back.
Ren and Pyrrha shot several bullets at it once it hit the ground, and Jaune sliced it up once it got up. Damian and Alex threw several blasts of their semblances at the droid, Damian with his blades and Alex with his piercing arrows.
Once the dust settled, everyone felt satisfied with their work until the android stood back up entirely unharmed. It charged at them, hitting both Ruby and Weiss in the stomach, sending them flying away. This angered Yang, who attacked the android, but her punch was blocked as it grabbed her first and slammed its knee into her stomach and threw her into Nora, who tried to sneak attack.
Blake and Damian went in and sliced at the droid several times, but their attacks were easily dodged by it, and it jumped up and kicked them away. Pyrrha attempted to hold it at bay with her semblance, but it let out a massive burst of energy, interrupting her concentration, which it used to attack her hitting her with a ball of Ki, injuring her.
It then turned to the rest and fired several Ki blasts at them, which they all barely dodged, and before it could go in for an attack, Jason and Evan appeared behind it and slammed their fists into it, knocking it down. The android spun around and grabbed onto their heads and flew over to the trees slamming them into several before letting go.
Jason and Evan gasped for air as they could barely move through the pain. Jason looked up toward his friends, who were severely injured by the droid. It seemed that they all were in too much pain to move. Their aura was drained, and they were unable to get away from the impending attack.
"Damn, this thing is too strong, we haven't even scratched it yet. What are we going to do?" Jason questioned as he looked on in horror.
The android began to walk over to his friends, seemingly going in for the kill. Jason looked on as he could do nothing. All of his strength was gone as he could not move.
"No, this is like last time I am down and can't do anything, I have to get up and fight!" Jason thought as he struggled to get up.
He remembered what had happened last time when he heard that mysterious voice, he still couldn't remember what it was saying, but he remembered how he felt. Rage and savagery as if he was going to his base, primal instincts. With that came power. He knew that if he could somehow call on that power, he could fight again.
"I just need to get up and fight! I need to protect my friends! I WILL NOT LOSE!" Jason thought as in his mind an image of a giant ape appeared roaring.
Soon his eyes turned orange as his muscles grew larger while his hair rose slightly, and his power overflowed, allowing him to get up. Ruby and Weiss had finally got up and was helping the others up when they noticed the android coming at them with Ki in its fist.
"What are we going to do? I don't have the strength to move us all with my glyphs?" Weiss asked in a panic seeing the droid getting closer.
"You need to run students while your teachers distract it," Glynda ordered as she and Oobleck got in front of them.
"But, Professor, it will kill you!" Damian pointed out as he got up.
"We know, but it is our duty as teachers to protect our students, and we shall now go before it's too late." Oobleck requested as the droid came in for the attack.
However, before it could attack, a loud roar came from behind it as Jason charged with immense speed slamming into the android, sending it flying away.
"I WILL NOT LET YOU WIN!" Jason screamed as he flew over towards the android, blasting it several times with Ki. This time instead of coming back unharmed, the android actually got damaged from Jason's attack.
"What the…? Where did that strength come from? He wasn't that strong a second ago?!" Yang asked as she leaned on Blake's shoulder.
"Impossible, what is this power?! Is this what allowed him to beat my prototype?!" Talon questioned as he looked on at the battle.
"From the analysis I am getting from Shu, this Saiyan is bringing out the power of the Oozaru without transforming! That's impossible, this can't be happening!" Talon thought his anger building.
Jason continued to hit the android with a barrage of punches sending it flying backward. He then grabbed its leg and spun it around into the ground blasting it with a Buster Flare.
"Not so tough now are you, you piece of scrap metal!" Jason yelled, his voice sounding wilder.
His anger was at its peak, and he could barely control his actions. It took everything he had not to lose control and go feral in a sense. The android was now severely damaged as Jason completely overpowered the robot.
"I never thought I would have to use this function, but I have no other choice. If I want to live and kill this Saiyan brat, I must do it!" Talon thought.
"Shu execute order sixty-six!" Talon yelled, getting everyone's attention.
The android then flew away from Jason, who chased after it towards Talon. However, he could not catch up to it as it flew. When it reached Talon, it threw its fist into Talon's chest, and a bright light flashed, blinding everyone there.
When the light died down, Talon was no longer there. Instead, the android stood fully repaired but now had long white hair and stood a foot taller. It turned around, showing its face was now that of Talon's but much younger.
"Now then you pushed me to this, I never thought I would have to use this function on you, but I was left no choice. With your sudden power-up, my creation has no time to adjust." Talon began.
"I am now one with my creation and have grown even stronger because of it, so now Saiyan YOU SHALL DIE!" Talon declared as he charged at Jason.
Jason charged right on back, and both threw a punch that collided, sending shock-waves throughout the area. Both kept attacking each other with several barrages of attacks moving at high speeds around the forest. Everyone stared in awe at the whole situation, unable to comprehend what the battle had turned into.
"What is this? What is going on? How are they so strong and shooting lasers?" Blake asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"This is the power of Ki, young lady," Mura responded, getting everyone's attention as he walked up with an unconscious Evan on his back.
"This is a lost art of energy use. I cannot get into the specifics at the moment, but know that Ki is what makes them so strong." Mura explained, stunning the group.
"Such a power like this actually exists in this world?" Weiss asked, looking back at the fight. Jason and Talon were still trading blows until both jumped back
"BUSTER FLARE!" Jason screamed as he unleashed his beam with Talon countering with his own.
"INCINERATION CANNON!" Talon screamed, letting out his beams. The two beams collided and stood in equilibrium, neither moving an inch.
"It seems they are both equal in power," Mura stated as he looked on at the battle.
"We have to do something!" Ruby said, not wanting to stand and watch her friend fight alone.
"We cannot do anything sadly. Not even I can help him anymore. They both have reached a level of strength that is well beyond my own or anyone else's here." Mura replied, stopping Ruby from recklessly joining the fight.
"All we can do now is watch." Mura finished as the fight continued.
The beam battle continued as Jason grew angrier, this guy had come to kill him and hurt his friends all because of his crazy stories, and he was not going to let it continue. Jason poured more energy into his blast, pushing Talon's back at him.
"Damn, his power is still growing these damn Saiyans and their battle prowess, their powers grow the angrier they get. But this battle is far from over." Talon thought as he looked back over at the rest of the group that had gathered and smiled an evil smile.
Talon turned off his blast, allowing Jason's blast to come right at him. He then redirected the attack to go towards everyone else, much to the horror of Jason.
"NOOO!" Jason yelled as he rushed over to them.
The others looked on in terror as the massive beam came towards them. Until Jason jumped in front of them and took the attack in their place. When the smoke cleared, Jason was severely injured, the orange in his eyes dying out.
"Well, well, I have to say you are the first Saiyan I have ever seen to ever risk his own life for others, but it seems that it worked in my favor when I redirected that attack of yours at your friends," Talon smirked.
"I do have to acknowledge you though you have surpassed my data and analysis in terms of strength, I shall remember you from now on when I kill the rest of the Saiyans, Jason Shin, was it?" Talon continued.
"But now, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!" Talon declared.
He proceeded to charge at Jason, and before anyone could react, he was in front of them, and he blasted Jason in the chest, sending him flying towards the Mirror Mountains. Now Talon was alone with the others who were unable to fight back due to his overwhelming strength.
"Well, it took longer than I first expected, but now the deed is done. So now it's your turn." Talon smiled as he turned to the others. Before he could do anything, a light shown down upon them. Looking up, everyone saw a massive airship above them.
"That's an Atlas ship!" Weiss gasped, smiling that reinforcements had arrived.
"Guess Ozpin told the situation to Ironwood when we called him, he must have sent a ship ahead of time before he came to Vale for the Vytal Festival." Glynda theorized, looking at the ship.
Soon several robotic soldiers came down from the ship, weapons aimed at Talon, then Ozpin came from a bullhead that landed nearby.
"More robots great." Jaune sighed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Arc, these are made to protect the people. More importantly, are you, students, okay?" Ozpin asked as he up to the group from a nearby dropship.
"Some need immediate medical attention and others just some rest," Glynda answered.
"These robots of yours won't stop him," Mura said as he looked at Talon, who was surrounded by the Atlas robots.
"Mura, it's good to see you." Ozpin greeted as he looked over at his old friend.
"You as well, old friend," Mura replied, turning around.
"Well, you should know, Mura, that these are top of the line Atlas creations, the Atlesian Knights. I was told by Ironwood that they can handle anything," Ozpin assured.
"Even so, they are ants under this man's boot," Mura stated as he turned around.
Talon smiled and laughed aloud at the sight. "Do you think these toys are enough to stop me think again, fools!" Talon yelled as he unleashed a powerful burst of energy, destroying every Knight that surrounded him.
"Told you so," Mura said.
"Now, what do we do?!" Pyrrha asked, concerned at what they could even do now.
"Well, there are more of those where that came from, so that should keep him busy," Ozpin answered.
"For now, come with us on the bullhead so we can get you all out of here," Ozpin advised.
"But what about Jason? He was thrown over towards the mountains. He could be hurt?!" Jaune asked, concerned for his friend.
"We'll pick him up on the way now, let's go. We don't have much time." Ozpin answered as Talon continued to destroy every Atlesian Knight that attacked him.
Over with Jason, he laid barely conscious as he bled out, he could only feel massive amounts of pain as he looked into the distance. Jason wished he could keep fighting, but he knew that in his condition, that was impossible.
"This is it then, this is how it ends. I just hope that the others got to safety so that Talon can't hurt them." Jason thought as he looked at the several dust crystal deposits in the mountain.
Each one was lit up brightly with moonlight that magnified with each one it passed through. Soon highly concentrated moonlight was shining on top of Jason, and he felt his senses fade away.
He no longer felt any pain, he no longer could see anything other than the moonlight, and now he could only hear the sound of his heartbeat.
Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump was all he heard for several minutes until his vision turned deep red, and his consciousness disappeared.
Ruby looked on at the state of her friends, most being very injured with a frown on her face. How could this happen? Why did a trip that was supposed be fun end up like this, with most of her friends, including herself, injured, and one that might be dead? She was soon taken out of her thoughts when the ship they were in suddenly shook.
"What was that?!" She asked as everyone looked around soon, they looked out front to see Talon flying in front of the ship smiling.
"Did you think you could just get away from me that easily? I told you that you shall die, and I intend to keep my word." Talon snickered as he charged up a Ki attack.
He fired the Ki blast hitting the ship and sending it flying down. However, no one was hurt as the bullhead crashed into the ground. Everyone slowly crawled out of the bullhead as Talon floated down to their level.
"Now, there is nowhere to run, so perish!" Talon yelled as he prepared another Ki attack. But before he could attack, the ground shook violently as a deafening roar was heard from the distance. Everyone covered their ears from the deafening roar.
"Now, what's happening!?" Weiss questioned, annoyed that everything was going bad.
"No, it can't be! There shouldn't be enough blutz waves for him to transform!" Talon yelled as he turned around. Soon everyone else looked in the same direction as their eyes widened in terror.
"No way, what is that?!" Jaune asked.
"That's not even a Grimm is that thing here to wreak havoc as well?!" Ren added, looking terrified.
At the mountain stood a thirty-meter-tall ape that was hitting its chest. When it stopped, it looked straight at them and began to run over faster than one might imagine. Talon attacked the ape with a massive Ki blast holding it back, but the ape pushed through slowly and grabbed onto Talon, crushing him with its overwhelming strength.
"Ahhhhhh!" he yelled in pain as the ape crushed him. It took all of his strength, but Talon managed to free himself from the ape's grasp.
"I don't know how you managed to turn into an Oozaru, but your fate will be the same as before!" Talon yelled, flying around the ape, blasting it several times.
The ape was pushed away from the attacks but stayed upright, then it swung its left-hand smacking Talon out of the air. When he hit the ground, the ape hit its chest again and jumped a few times before it shot a beam of energy from its mouth, blowing Talon apart. Talon flew away and landed next to the group, now only a torso and shutting down.
"No, not like this. I won't be defeated like this by the hand of a filthy Saiyan." Talon muttered as his body sparked.
"Well, looks like you failed, now tell us what that thing is?!" Damian demanded, grabbing onto Talon. As this happened, Evan slowly regained consciousness and got up, surveying the current situation until his eyes laid on the ape in front of him.
"What the hell is that thing?!" Evan asked, shocked at the sight.
"We're figuring that out now," Damian answered as he held up Talon.
"Now fess up, what is that thing?!" Damian demanded again as Talon merely laughed.
"That's your Saiyan friend, fool. He managed to get enough blutz waves to obtain his people's Oozaru form. It is this form that made the Saiyan race such proficient exterminators." Talon explained smugly as he reveled in the reactions he received from the people in front of him.
"You're lying. There is no way that monster is Jason. Look at that thing. It's destroying everything in its path!" Evan yelled as he walked up to Talon. Soon everyone turned around when the ape roared once again, this time directed at the group.
"Wait, don't tell me it's going to attack us?!" Weiss asked, concerned.
"I doesn't look as if Mr. Shin is conscious of his actions currently, Ms. Schnee, but for now, we need to leave." Ozpin pointed out.
"You'll never manage to get away in time. He has gone feral and will destroy anything in its way and kill anything it sees." Talon laughed.
"Then how do we turn him back?!" Evan asked, getting angry.
"Why should I tell you this is the perfect situation for me? I may have failed to kill the Saiyan, but now he will kill his own friends and several innocent people. He will suffer knowing that he killed all of you, and that will be good enough for me, hahahahaha!" Talon proclaimed as he laughed away until his body died out, and he died.
"Damn it, what now?!" Alex asked as everyone looked at the incoming ape. Evan's eyes then widened when he got an idea, he didn't like it, but he felt like he had no other choice.
"I think I have an idea," Evan said, getting everyone's attention.
"You have an idea, what is it?" Yang asked.
"I didn't want to tell you all this because Jason is embarrassed about it, but he once told me that his tail was his weakness that whenever someone grabbed it, all of his strength would be drained, and he would feel immense pain. So maybe if we hit his tail with enough force, he will collapse and maybe even turn back to normal." Evan explained.
"But we're all exhausted. How are we supposed to do that?" Blake asked as the Oozaru got closer.
"We need to make a combined attack, Damian. If I infuse your sword with some Ki, can you use it along with your semblance to hit the tail?" Evan asked, looking at Damian.
"I don't see why not, but what if we accidentally cut off his tail?" Damian inquired, causing everyone to pause for a moment.
"I want to say he wouldn't mind because we're preventing him from hurting innocent people, but I don't know if he would be okay with it. Either way, it's a would be a gamble," Evan answered, trying to figure out what his friend would want.
"We can't just cut off his tail! It would ruin his identity as a Faunus." Blake argued, getting everyone's attention.
"I know, but we may not have a choice. Besides, according to this freak, he isn't even a faunus, or maybe he's lying…whatever it's our only choice!" Evan asserted.
"Do it," Mura said as everyone turned to him.
"He's not one to hold a grudge. I'm sure he would forgive you." Mura added.
Evan nodded, knowing that Mura was right. Soon everyone scattered as fast as they could as the Oozaru arrived. Damian and Evan moved behind the creature and prepared to attack. Damian held his sword with two hands behind his head as Evan held onto the blade infusing it with Ki.
"Okay, are you ready?" Evan asked with Damian giving a short nod so that he wouldn't lose concentration.
"Alright now!" Evan yelled, letting go of the blade.
Damian swung his sword sending a Ki charged attack of his semblance at the Oozaru, soon it made contact, and the tail was sliced clean off. As its tail fell, the Oozaru roared in pain as it slowly shrunk down back into Jason.
"It worked!" Evan exclaimed as he and Damian ran to check on Jason. They regrouped with everyone else as they went to Jason.
"Looks like you guys were right. He's back to normal." Yang said as they walked over to were Jason was.
"Yeah, I just hope he's not a serious danger." Evan agreed as they got to Jason. Thankfully Jason was not harmed. However, his clothes were all gone.
"Okay, he's fine but naked. Whoever doesn't want to see this look away." Damian announced as he tried to find something to cover Jason.
Everyone avoided looking while some of the girls sneaked a quick peek except Ruby, whose eyes were covered by Yang. Ozpin and the other professors came up soon after with another drop-ship and brought a blanket and stretcher for Jason. They all got on the drop-ship and was later brought back to Beacon to recover.
Decimation, the one word that could explain the events of that day. What will happen to our hero now that he has learned of his past so suddenly? What will his friends think of him? All this and more next time!
Author's Note:
Wow, this was my favorite chapter yet to write with the longest fight scene that I had to write. I hope you all enjoyed it, so from now on, I plan on updating this fic a lot less frequently. I will probably wait a week or two between updating this now that I have many chapters already uploaded. See you next time.
