The group walks into the mansion, but Topaz can't help but feel that he's being watched. Turning around he scans the area looking for anything amiss. He begins to turn around when movement in the corner of his eye catches his attention. Topaz rushes away from the door, heading toward what he saw.
Weiss: "Topaz, where are you going?"
Not answering her, Topaz continues forwards, only stopping when something is thrown in his direction. A spear lands where he would have been had he not stopped and buries itself deep into the stone.
Topaz: "Finally decided to show yourself?"
Grandfather: "Silence boy! You have no right to be out here causing the trouble you have."
Topaz: "Me, causing trouble?"
Grandfather: "The tribe was perfect before you were born! Then you came along and ruined EVERYTHING!"
Topaz: "Keep trying to tell yourself that old man. You only think it was perfect because you stood at the top."
Grandfather: "I stood above the top, looking down on everyone, but then your father had to fall in love with that slut you call a mother-
BAM
In an instant Topaz was in his grandfather's face, throwing punch after punch at the man that dared to insult his mother. Jumping back after a few swings, Topaz's grandfather spits blood onto the ground and gives Topaz a bloody smile.
Grandfather: "Aww, does the little baby not like hearing his mother being insulted. Maybe after I kill you I find her and show her what a real man can do, all while your father watches unable to do anything. Then I'll find those girls you fancy and do the same to them."
Topaz takes a deep breathe and gives his grandfather the coldest glare he can manage. Topaz pulls out his spear and raises it towards his grandfather who does the same with his own. The tow lunge at each other thrusting and parrying each other over and over until Topaz disarms his grandfather. Aiming the tip of his spear at his grandfather's throat he looks down on him not saying a word.
Grandfather: "Not bad boy. But my new ally has given me an edge you couldn't ever imagine."
Reaching into his pocket, Topaz's grandfather pulls out a small flask and drinks its contents. He then cries out in pain and Topaz watches in horror as his grandfather's eyes burst and bleed all over his face. His grandfather shifts into his lion form and its fur goes darker and darker until it turns black. He lets off a cry letting the world know about him leaving his humanity behind. With a low thundering voice he talks to Topaz.
Grandfather: "This is power someone as pathetic as you could never hope to achieve. The might of a true Nemea in combination with the grimm's sheer ferocity. Nothing shall stand in my way. I shall look down on the world as I used to my tribe, and there isn't a thing you can do BOY."
Topaz prepares himself for a tough fight ahead, breathing calmly and keeping his senses on high alert. In a flash, his grandfather is in front of him with his front paw raised bringing his claws down. On sheer instinct alone, Topaz raises his left arm and blocks the strike, only to be forced to the ground and back. Standing up and checking his arm, he sees no wound and lets out a small breath he didn't realize he was holding. Refocusing on his grandfather, he rolls out of the way as something is spit towards him. He hears the liquid hit the ground behind him, and then a sizzling sound. Taking a quick look over his shoulder he sees the spot in which the liquid landed slowly being eaten away.
Topaz: "Really, your toxic personality now includes acid to spit?"
Grandfather: "Joke all you want boy, it'll be the last thing you do."
Topaz watches as his grandfather spits towards him once more, and then lunge towards him a short while after. Dodging the acid being spit his way, Topaz is then forced to cross his arms over his chest as his Grandfather headbutts him. Rolling back after the hit, Topaz slowly gets back to his feet.
Grandfather: "I may not be able to break your skin with my claws or teeth, but I can damn well burst some major organs instead. Muahaha."
Lunging forwards, Topaz sends his spear into his grandfather's right shoulder, only for it to harmlessly bounce off. Topaz is then thrown back as his grandfather begins his attack. Over and over Topaz is battered by his grandfather. Taking hit after hit in order to avoid the acid being spit his way.
Tera: 'Topaz, you need to calm down.'
Topaz: 'Tera?'
Tera: 'Yes, it is me child.'
Topaz: 'So, any advice on what to do. I'm getting my butt handed to me.'
Tera: 'Your grandfather has let grimm corrupt him. Focus your aura into your spear the next time you try attacking him.'
Topaz: 'What will that do? My spear is doing nothing to him.'
Tera: 'It isn't doing anything now, but you have silver eyes child. By pushing your aura into your spear, it will channel those powers into your weapon.'
Topaz: 'It's worth a shot I guess.'
Tera: 'Good, send your grandfather to us in the afterlife, we have some choice words for him here.'
Topaz shakes his head and focuses on his grandfather before him. Acid drips down the sides of his mouth, giving his teeth a glowing look. With a roar, Topaz's grandfather lunges at Topaz once more. Topaz rolls to his right, focuses his aura into his spear, and sends a slash into his grandfather's right shoulder. With a loud cry of pain, his grandfather falls to the ground dripping black blood. The wound itself bubbling, steam coming from it.
Grandfather: "You bastard! What did you do to me, it burns!"
Topaz: "I'm doing what must be done. This is goodbye… Grandfather."
Grandfather: "Noooo!"
With a last ditch effort, Topaz watches as his grandfather begins to spit acid into the air and ground, trying to catch Topaz with the toxic liquid. Dodging the acid, Topaz makes his way forwards, and eventually gets behind his grandfather. Raising his spear up, he closes his eyes, focuses his aura, and plunges the spear into his grandfather's heart.
Topaz: "May Tera, and the brothers have mercy on your soul Grandfather."
Taking a step back, Topaz stumbles and begins falling backwards, only to be stopped halfway down. Looking over his shoulder, Topaz sees Qrow and Yang holding him up.
Qrow: "Easy there kiddo, you've taken quite a beating. Let's get you inside to rest."
Yang: "Topaz, what was that?"
Looking back towards his grandfather, Topaz watches his remains slowly begin turning to black dust before his eyes.
Topaz: "That… That used to be my grandfather."
Yang: "WHAT!?"
Topaz: "He…-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Topaz's consciousness fades to black. After an unknown amount of time, Topaz feels something pulling his consciousness and decides to follow that feeling. Standing in an open field of long grass, Topaz can only look around in amazement of what's in front of him.
Tera: "Topaz, nice of you to finally join us."
Topaz: "My apologies Tera, I didn't realize I was making anyone wait."
?????: "You, boy! You shall show her the respect she deserves. Her name is sacred and must never be used."
Tera: "Silence Mouba, Topaz has every right to use my name."
Mouba: "Apologies your grace."
Topaz: "May I ask why I am here?"
Tera: "You are here child, to bear witness to your grandfather's trial."
Topaz: "Trial?"
Tera: "Yes. His trial of whether or not he will be allowed to join us in our sacred hunting grounds. Bring the accused forth."
Topaz turns to see two large men drag his grandfather in front of Tera. His grandfather's eyes go wide at the sight of both her and Topaz.
Grandfather: "You! Boy, what are you doing here?"
Tera: "I called him here. He has every right of being here."
Grandfather: "He has NO right! He's a mistake to the Nemea tribe!"
Tera: "ENOUGH!"
