Coming to a stop, Blake turned to me as I shivered. "Are you okay?" She asked, with me looking at the doors to Haven Academy. "You're not cold, are you?" She asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Not physically, but something is inside, something that feels... familiar, dark even." I said as I placed a hand over my heart. "I don't know why, but I will have to go in, I'm needed in there." I said as I held my hand out to her. "I'll take the saber with me, something tells me I need too." I said, with her nodding and placing it in my hand.
"I'll handle Adam and the others. You're going to sneak in?" Blake asked, where a large man flew through the wall and outside onto Haven Academy's quad in front of Adam Taurus and White Fang soldiers look on.
'This is my chance.' I thought as I ran past Blake, taking the long way around. Reaching the hole in the wall, I stepped in, looking at everyone. I could see Ruby and Yang fighting Emerald and Mercury. Jaune and Nora were with Weiss, who was getting up and a man with a torn red cape helping a boy to his feet.
Weiss was the first to look in my direction, where I placed the saber hilt on my hip. "Dakota?" She said, with Jaune and Nora looking at me as Ren stood shocked. Looking around, I trued to find the source of this feeling.
"We're seeing this... right?" Jaune said as he and Weiss stood up, with me looking up as someone flew at me. Holding my hand out to them, they did the same thing, with both of us getting pushed away from the other. Getting pushed outside, I hit someone. Looking back, I saw I had bumped into the large man, with him backing up as I hit him. Feeling both sabers get pulled, I grabbed one of them just before it was pulled away.
Seeing a stinger coming at me, I moved out of the way and watched as it wrapped around the larger man before he was pulled back in. Looking at the person who pulled my saber away, they held it in their hand, then ignited it. Even with their cloak I could not see their face.
"You know." They said as they held it in a reverse grip much like my own style. "Red was always my color, Brother!" They yelled as they charged at me, with me doing the same, igniting my saber. Jumping, I slashed down at them, with them blocking it.
Using the momentum, I pushed past them and turned to slash, but they blocked it without looking back at me. They slowly turned to face me, pushing me deeper into the academy. They tossed me to the side, where I hit the wall. Looking up, I saw them slashing at me from above, with me moving aside. Slashing up, they blocked it again. They pushed me with the force, with me rolling down a hall. Standing up, I watched as they entered the hall, held their hand up and shattered the lights, with the only visibility we had being our lightsabers, and theirs gave off more light than mine.
I blocked his slash, with her looking my saber over as they kept walking forward, pushing me back with little to no problem. "So, you found one of them?" He said, confusing me on what he was talking about. "No, it chose you." He said as he shoved me away, even knocking my saber out of my hands.
They pulled it towards them while slashing at me, where I blocked his attack by pushing against the saber attack with the force, holding them in place. Pushing them back, they flipped in the air and landed on their feet, impressing me at their skill. They then laughed as they turned off their saber, with me looking around and preparing for an attack.
Closing my eyes, I could feel them getting further away, with me looking deeper into the hall and knowing that they were leading me away. Looking back at where the others were, I followed after them, knowing that they were able to hold off the fight without me.
Walking down the dark hall, I could hear them laughing. "I know who you are. Yet you know nothing of me. We are of opposite sides of a coin, you and I. One of the light, one of the dark. Oh, Dearest Brother, you have no idea of the powers you are tampering with. You only think you do." They said as I reached a cracked open door, with me pushing it open to show a class room, where all of the desks were thrown against the walls, leaving a large open space for our fight.
He was standing there, watching me as I walked in. They held the saber up, then tried turning it on, but nothing happened. They then hooked itnon their hip, looking at me. 'I guess they were right, it chose me.' I thought as I walked around the room, keeping my eyes on them. They then threw their hand at me, with lightning shooting from their finger tips. I held my hand up, blocking it with the force, preventing it from getting closer to me.
"Impressive." They said as they threw their other hand out at me, with me blocking both lightning strikes. Knowing that I wasn't going to get anywhere, I moved aside and pulled my saber back, with them activating the red one. Walking up to them, they slashed at me, but when I blocked it they slashed at my back, where I moved my saver to block it and punch them in the face.
Moving aside, I narrowly dodged a lightning strike. Using my speed, I jumped towards the ceiling and dived at them. They held me in the air and then tossed me through the wall, and then the next, leading me outside. Getting up, I looked at the hole and saw the desks were bending to their will, forming sharp points with the metal.
Getting a bad feeling, I held my hands up and blocked the metal spikes, but not all of them as I was stabbed in the gut with one. It wasn't deep, but it was enough to pierce a good bit of skin. Dropping the metal spikes, I grabbed the kne that was logged in my gut and pulled it out. "Doesn't feel too good, does it?" They taunted, where a light was shined down on me. Looking up, I saw the Mistral Police was aiming their light on me.
Standing up, I ignited my lightsaber again, where they held their hand out and pulled it. Keeping a firm grip on it, I pulled back, where they started pulling me closer, but I kept pulling back. Getting my legs pulled out from beneath me, I fell back onto my hand and pulled back on my lightsaber as they tried taking it. They jerked their hand to the left, then the right, with the saber following their hands movements, but I held firm. They pulled back, with me getting pulled to my feet and pulled against them.
Deciding against pulling, I jumped towards them. They blocked my stike and pushed me back, with us trading blow for blow, blocking eachothers attacks. They spun me around and slahsed at my back, but I blocked their attack, only for them to kick me away. Rolling to the side, they slashed at me, where I them pushed her towards the wall, but they fought against the push.
Locking blades with them, I pushed our sabers to the ground and wrapped myself around their back, where I held the saber at their neck. They blocked it with their own, head butting me away. Pushing them against the wall, I charged at them, with me locking blades with them once more. I forced their weapon up, with me getting in their face.
"Who the hell are you!?" I questioned, where they started force choking me. They pushed me back, where I rolled on the ground for a bit until I reached the stairs that lead down to the gates of Haven Academy. Standing up, my eyes widened as they dropped kicked me in the chest, knocking me down the stairs.
Reaching the bottom, I gasped for air as the wind was knocked out of me. Looking up, I saw that they had jumped down, with my eyes widening as they stabbed me in the side of my stomach, the same place where I had been stabbed by the metal spike.
They leaned down, removing their hood to show my face, only cuts and gray skin, with yellow eyes. "You want to know who I am?" They said as they pulled back. "Well, Dearest Brother... I'm your sister, trapped in this shell of a body that is yours!" They said as they turned their saber off and got up, looking down at me. "I don't know what morher and father were thinking, naming you the chosen one... you're weak!" He, no, SHE said, walking back up the stairs, leaving me there to die.
POV Rika
Walking back into the room with all the fightning, I held my hand up and stopped everyone in their tracks. Seeing that Yang was missing, I narrowed my eyes at this. Seeing at the entrance was still opened, I started walking towards it. "Who are you?" Oscar, no, Ozpin questioned, having to fight to speak.
"The True Chosen One." I said as I jumped down to give chase after Yang, as she was going to get what I came for.
Later
Landing at the bottom, I saw Yang walking towards me, only to stop once I activated my lightsaber. Seeing her hide the Relic behind her, I held my hand out. "Give it to me!" I ordered, with her narrowing her eyes at me.
"I don't know who you are, but you wont get your hands on this!" She said as she backed up. Seeing her running towards the edge, I pulled her legs out from under her, tripping her. Pulling the Relic out of her hand, I caught it. "NO!?" Yang yelled as she shot at me.
"JINN!?" I yelled, with time stopping. The blast of her weapon inches from my face.
"You called, Master Rika?" A blue Genie like a woman said as she appeared before me, kneeling.
"You know of the Rules, three questions every thousand years, or was it hundred of years?" I said, before I dismissed her before she could answer. "I don't care for your answer!" I said as I walked around her. "My true body is long gone, and as a servent of the Feichko clan, you know better than to follow that rule of yours." I said as I placed the saber at the Relic. "If this is destroyed, so are you." I said as I stood behind her.
"The Feichko Clan can ask as many questions as they want." Jinn said as she kept her head low. "Ask and I shall answer." She said, making me smirk at her words.
"My first question, who do I get to join me in over throwing Salem's Rule?" I asked, with Jinn waving her hand, with a mist building up around me, showing two figures.
"The path that you have chosen to go down, will require you to gather just two members. Cinder, the Fall Maiden, and Neo, your brothers ex lover." She said as I looked them over, then looked around and didnt see either Raven nor Cinder. Vernal was here, though she was dead.
"Where is Cinder?" I questioned, with Jinn pointing over the edge of the cliff.
"There is a source of water below. The one known as Raven has frozen her." She said, with me nodding as I walked over and looked down into the abyss.
"And Neo?" I asked, looking back at her.
"Neo is in Mistral. You may find her by letting Cinder do as she pleases when she wakes up." She said, with me nodding as I would follow Cinder from the darkness until Neo showed us.
"How do I get the other lightsaber? How do I get through that god forsaken door in Atlas?" I asked, with Jinn shaking her head.
"You cannot open the path, and you never enter." She said, making me tisk in annoyance.
"Fine. How do I kill Salem?" I asked as I walked in front of her.
"You cannot." She said, pissing me off.
"How do I beat her!?" I yelled as there had to be a way.
"You cannot." She said, shocking me.
"Who is the chosen one? The one to kill Salem, to end this war?" I asked, hoping that she wouldn't say who I thought she would.
"Your brother, Dakota, thought as of now, he is not ready." She said, shocking me.
"I killed him, I stabbed him!?" I yelled as I lifted her up with the force, with her looking down at me from her position.
"Yes, you did, but the moment you walked away the Atlas Police arrived and treated him for medical care." Jinn informed, with me gritting my teeth.
"Fine." I said as I let her go, looking at my hand. "Do I return to the body that I once had, before being burned by Cinder?" I asked, with her looking up at me.
"Yes." She said, where I could feel hope rising from inside my heart.
"How?" I asked, wanting to know how to return to my body.
"During the fall of Atlas, you and Dakota fight. Your fight leads to your loss, and due to this you pull your brother down with you. There, you are then greeted with the presence of Jaune, who takes you prisoner, until he is sent back in time. You travel alone and due to your hunder and thirst, you eat a magical leaf that allowed you to take the opportunity to return to your former self." Jinn informed, with me crossing my arms.
"Sounds like some childs story." I said, closing my eyes.Fine, that is all I wish to know." I said as I put my saver away, but stopped before I did. "There was a bed time story my father told me of once. It was of a Mother, Father, and their two kids, the Daughter and the Son. The Father was balance, and could not side with their daughter nor son. Their Son was pure evil, but could not oppose the Daughter nor father. The Daughter was the purest of them all, and could not harm the father nor son. The mother, a being corrupted beyond belife, tried to kill them out of insanity. The father, daughter, and son were forced to get rid of the mother, but the force was not strong enough to defeat the mother, only push her back." I said, remembering the story. "Is the mother in that story, Salem?" I asked, with Jinn shaking her head.
"No, Salem is not the mother in that story." She said as the mist formed a image of a grotesque woman, her hair white like Weiss, her mouth was a large row of sharp teeth, and tendrils forming out of her body. "The woman you speak of in that story, is known as Abeloth, also known as the Bringer of Chaos. She was part of the Ones, a family of powerful Force-wielders, who your family dubbed the father, the son, and the daughter." She said as they appeaeed as well. "She was mortal, unlike her "family", and in an attempt to hold onto the life she so loved, she did the forbidden - she drank from the Font of Power and bathed in the Pool of Knowledge. Her actions corrupted her, transforming her into the twisted, immortal entity known as Abeloth today, and was eventually sealed away by her own family." She informed, with me narrowing my eyes at this.
"If Salem and Abeloth were to fight, who would come out on top?" I asked as I needed to know who was the biggest threat.
"Abeloth, as Salem would not be able to harm her." She said, shocking me.
"How do I kill Abeloth?" I aksed, narrowing my eyes at her.
"You cannot." She said, shocking me.
"How do I defeat her!? She was sealed away, HOW!?" I yelled, with her shaking her head.
"You cannot defeat, nor seal her away, for she is already sealed and wont be unsealed for another ten thousand years from now." She said, making me sigh in relief as that was one thing I would not have to deal with.
"You may go." I said, with Jinn vanishing as the blast that Yang fired hitting the wall. "I forgot about you." I said as Yang looked shocked as I was no longer standing where she fired. Tossing the relic at her, it landed at her feet. "I got my answers, I no longer need it." I said as I jumped off the side, diving towards the bottom.
