(raven POV)
I teleported to qrows location which was on top of a tree a few miles from Ruby's location as he had his eyes closed and relaxing on it without a care in the world
"huh why are you here" he asked without opening his eyes as he yawned
"that child is she truly Summer and Tais daughter"
"yes"
"but Summer had zero love for Tai and if I know her she would never sleep with anyone she had no love for so" I said as he just sighed
"true she would never do such a thing and the only reason she moved in with Tai was be
because you decided to abandon your only child for people who throw us away as if we were trash" he said calmly even if he was angry he was able to control himself
"I had no choice in the matter she was weak and mother and father had seen it fit to do so as it was a test to make us stronger" I said proudly but there was a slight ache in my heart
"haha you still believe that, no those monsters had no love for us, they would torture us if we weren't able to reach there impossible high standards" he said as he stretched he's body
"like you are doing with the child" I said with a smile
"please I know ruby's limits and I know what motivates her to be stronger" he said as he opened his eyes to look at me "this is nothing to her"
"what do you mean nothing for her you throw a 11 year old child into one of the most dangerous forests in Vale"
"I mean unlike our shitty parents I've trained her to the point that she can walk out of the forest without even getting notice by the grim or bandits oh you may want to tell your family to not attack her as she will kill them" he said laughing a little
"there your family to qrow they raised us and they would gladly accept you back" I said as he laughed almost falling off
"hahaha I thought I had severed all ties with them I mean I did kill most of them and your beloved mother and father or did you forget" he said as he didn't even look at me as a memory of that night come back to me as rage took over as unsheathe my blade as I aimed for his head
*clink*as he blocked my blade with his own
"so it was you, you killed mother and father" I said as I tried to push forward
"yes and you know exactly why I did so you where there weren't you. You remember what they said right that weakness was not allowed in our family and while you agreed I didn't and chose to leave, but leave was not allowed and to set an example they took my heart so I took there lives, so I'll say this once and only once raven if you even dare to touch a hair on rubys head I will kill you and I don't care if you have the maidens power" he said as he pushed my blade away and aimed his at my neck
"how did you" I asked confused on how he knew about that 'I've told no one about that how does he'
"I'm not an idiot I saw you reaction to ruby's power and I know for a fact that only grim and people that have some sort of magic power can see it and because of the why you acted when ruby killed those Ursas after that I had all the information I needed" he said as he took a sip from his flask and went back to relaxing on the tree 'I see so he know about me well there goes my ace in the hole when I need to fight him..... Wait his heart.... Wasn't that...'
"your heart?"
"huh" he said not even opening his eyes
"it was summer wasn't it" I said as I connected all the dots 'it all makes sense now even the time we still a team qrow and summer always looked at each other with those eyes Tai gave me and they behavior alwayed changed when they we're with each'
"...." he kept quiet as he opened his eyes and looked at me
"and if that's true than that means that Ruby is your child not Tais yours, no wonder you care for her so much"
*creak*as the branch we were standing on broke as we fall to the ground but i land safely as qrow had stabbed his sword into the trees the second we heard the creak
"true ruby is my child and I'm pretty sure she knows that Tai is not" he said as he had a smile on his face as he drank
"huh and you call me the worst parent but your just the same as me" I said as he spat everything out
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHABABAHAHHAHAHAHA" as he fall from his sword "did you just say that we were the same with a straight face!" he said as he look at me
"yes"
"hahaha good joke raven" he said as stood up and punched the tree as his sword fall on his hand and he placed it back into his back
"I wasn't joke" I said 'fucking idiot'
"wait your serious" he said as I nodded "I see so your stay with your band of idiots has also made you dumbass I feel so sorry for you sis" he said with a fake tear 'I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him' I said as I took out my sword but it jammed halfway
"huh it's been a while since my semblance affected someone else" he whispered as he looked at me "but to be honest sis what's my semblance" he said 'I see you point' I thought as I understood his reasoning behind not seeing or even getting close to his daughter
"I understand that but why are you so close to her if your semblance will just end up hurting her"
"well that the thing, it doesn't, I discovered a months after her like change that my semblance doesn't work her unless I actually try but even if I did her awareness is extremely high and her speed puts her on her own level as you have seen" he said as I could understand what he was talking about 'the child is very fast for somebody her age what am I talking about she's fast for hunters and huntress' I thought as I sighed as I'm pretty sure she could run circles around me and I would not be able to do anything about it
"does she know that you are her father"
"I have no idea but she is a very smart girl I'm sure she will figure it out soon or later I'll just say it was a test if she figures it out hahaha" he said as he laughed and turned into a bird and flew to another tree branch as I followed him as I transformed back
"what are these test that you two have been talking about anyways"
"oh the test to be honest its for her to get familiar with her abilities to be honest and to give a taste of the life of a huntress"
"really what if she is kill by grim or a bandit have you thought about that"
"yes I have and unless she fight someone like us she's good and ruby is what I like to call the grimms natural predator as you have already seen" he said proudly
"true she did kill a pack of Ursas like they were nothing and before that they seemed scared when she activated her power was that her" I said thinking back
"yep"
"so what's the point if she has all this power what's the point of any of this couldn't she just scare off any grim that comes close to her and fight anyone weaker then us what's the point!" I asked in confusion 'why would she do any of this what's her drive'
"I told you already didn't I, it's mainly to test herself and learn how to hold back and she most probably stop using her powers the moment you left"
"why would she do that?"
"she see it as her test and no one else's"
"that why she constantly on my ass about leaving"
"yes and if you where someone else she wouldn't have asked a second time"
"and why is that"
"there would been no point to it she knows that you're stronger than her and fighting you would have been a losing battle, so unnecessary waste of energy and ignoring you was the best option for her" he said as my eyebrow twitched but I calmed down
"I see so what are you going to do now" I said as I see the sun setting
"nothing I'm going to wait for her to leave this part of the forest" he said
"huh she's been in there for a while now shouldn't you go check if she's fine" I said as he looked up with a thoughtful face holding his chin up
"huh your right" he said as he got up "hy raven what was in that ship"
"some dead soldiers and weapons but nothing else" I said as he sat back down
"oh.... don't worry about her she's probably making a weapon of mass destruction or something like that" he said as if that was an everyday thing for him
"are you sure it's okay to leave her with all those weapons"
"probably not but that not our problem just the person she aims at but anyways" he said
"what"
"why are you still here don't you have a group of idiots to lead or something else instead of stalking a kid" he said looking at me as if I was some kind of stalker
"huh you know what I don't even care anymore and the group of idiots you are talking about are my people and I would like for you to treat them with respect" I said as I see him picking his ears
"huh did you say something"
"no I didn't say anything, nothing at all" I said as I calmed myself down "but they know that I'll be out for a while as I want to scout out the ships that crashed a week ago but I unfortunately found a girl that dropped from the sky as she went on to find the thing I spent a week looking for in less than a hour"
"yeah don't feel bad about it her eyes are just random bullshit it's best to just not ask about them"
"okay anyway are you going to sleep here all night"
"yep"
"well see you tomorrow then" I said as I opened a portal to Vernal
*the next day*
(Mc POV)
I got up in the morning as I usually do as I want to the and want to the work station I used to make my new baby's Sever and Domination as I want to get one of the bags as I grabbed a few cores and food as I left the ship
"wait I can't let some idiot get there hands on any military grade weapons" after that I made the ships into bomb and left 'okay from were I dropped and the director the ship was came from Vale should be a few km that way and it should take me a few days' I thought as I began moving but after a while I felt eyes on me as I looked at the direction I saw a raven a few trees behind me as I draw Sever and fired as the blast went through a few trees as it hit just above the raven
"tch I missed I knew I should have at least practiced using these and the kick Sever has is a lot almost broke my arm but know healing" I said as I turned to the bird "I know its you come out it really irritating having you stalk me" I said as raven came out of the bushs
"you know you could have killed me if you aimed a little lower" she said as she looked at me as I placed Sever back with Domination in there holster on my lower back
"huh don't blame me just because you suck at hiding at least uncle qrow made an effort while you just turned into a bird and stood on a tree.....tch no stars for you" I said as I crossed my arms as her eye twitched a little
"so you know qrows here"
"yes his somewhere out of my range also can you leave and go back to what uncle qrow calls a band of idiots" I said as that got to her as her body shock with rage
"I'm going to ignore what you just said and no I'm not going anywhere and there is nothing you can do" she said with a lot of confidence 'I see so she spoke with qrow that fine I can still annoy you ass'
"huh I can still shoot you but that would turn into a full on fight so you can follow me but don't help or offer me any advice I don't want it or need it"
"that's rude don't you think"
"you opinion has been heard and ignored" I said as I continued on my walk back to Vale
"huh I think I'm a good distance away" I said as I took out a remote and pressed a button
"what's that fo-"
*BOOOOOOOOOOM *
"what was that"
"the ship what did you think I was going to do leave a ship full of highly dangerous weapons to some idiot to find" I said as he eye twitched
"I've been looking for those ships for the past week and you just blow it up"
"now you know how I feel when I ask you to leave and you refuse too" I said as she was about to say something "like do you know how long I've been waiting for a solo mission and you decide to pop up and refuse to leave" I said to her a little pissed as I took out Domination aim it to my side fired about seven shots killing seven grimm what where coming to us 'Domination is better but she still a little off with the speed, but I've got time to fix it'
"that not the same thing but it doesn't matter now because I'm going to be by your side for the rest of the trip" she said 'do you really think I care that much.... Well I do but your shitty threats are nothing to me'
"whatever just don't get in my line of fire because I will shoot you without any mercy and stop having your little tantrums we don't want the whole grim population after you cause I will leave you here to fight alone" I said simply 'and I mean every word'
After I said that we walked in silence for an hour as we had made it out of grim territory and into bandit territory but the minutes we took a step I felt eyes on us 'huh depending on what they say or try well determined if they live or die' I thought as raven had disappeared as a group of six people with two females and four man
"well look what we have here guys a little girl out in the woods alone" one of the bigger guys in the group said as he was about six times my size
"yeah little girl come with us well take good care of you as we have done to all the little boys and girls that come with us" one of the girls said they with a very disgusting smile on her face 'so they are pedophiles and also there breathe small of blood, I haven't seen any animals so humans blood meaning cannibals'
"that right little girl come here and we can save you from-" she was cut off as I shoot her in the stomach breaking her spin with Domination but at a lower setting as it would not kill her and thanks to aura she would survive but won't be able to move any time soon
"oh would you look at that my hand slipped" I said as I walked closer to them as I took out Sever as I spun both guns around I my hand and aimed them at the remaining cannibals "you will all die here" I said as I unload Domination on them as they tried to surround me but I let it happen since I wasn't aiming
for them
"I will make sure your least moments are filled with pain and suffering girl" one of the guys said as he charged at he with a new sword ready to swing at my head but I ducked aimed for his knee
"hy how's your knees" I said as I blow of both his legs off with the Sever
"Ahhhhhhhhhh" he screamed out as he fall on the ground as he had lost both his legs
"you you bitch I will kill you everyone rush her" the big guy said as they all charged at me from all sides as I just stood there as they came in to strike I used my phase ability as they attack each other as I jumped into the air and shot them all Severing there arms and legs as they screamed out in pain 'huh they are so annoying' I thought as I dragged them all by their hair to one spot
"huh you know whats going to happen now, is that I'm going to ask you questions and I want them answered cause your live may depend on it, do you all understand" I said as I jumped on a tree and pointed Domination at them
"fuck you bitchAhhjhhj" he was cut of as I removed his other arm
"now there are six of you so killing five and torturing one to get what I want is no problem for me, now how do you work for, do you have a tribe, what do you do and what was this about children oh and I would answer fast as I hate waiting" I said waving my gun
"we work for Aquamarine"
"she our leader of our tribe the red snake"
"we steal raid kill and eat people"
"we take the children to the camp where they are given to our groups to have fun with and if they are not strong enough they are killed" the all told me different parts of what I ask without any shame but pride all of them 'I should kill them all but I did say I wasn't going to kill them if they gave me the information I wanted'
"know final question where can I find your camp and are there any kids there" I asked from the tree as they would not answer so
"fine then if that's how you want to play it" as I took out Sever and shot them all the guys in the dicks and the girls on the arms removing them completely "did you think I was play when I said that I would kill you if you didn't answer me now tell me were the fuck is the camp and are there any children!" I shouted
"IT DO EAST FROM HERE PLEASE DON'T KILL US"
"THAT RIGHT THERE ARE SOME CHILDREN THERE" the two girls shouted
"thank you but you are still have to die"
"WHAT I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT GOING TO KILL US"
"oh I'm not going to kill you but they will" I said as a pack of Beowolves came out of the forest as the walked close to them but since they had no arms and legs they could do nothing
"I hope you all feel the pain of all your victims you disgusting creatures" I said as I want to the location where I was told the tribe is as screams could be heard and people being for help 'huh I don't want my first kill to be these weaklings but I will have to kill in order to save' I thought as the screams stopped 'I really need so noise canceling headphones maybe I'll make a pair when I get home and at least in a few days I'll be going to signal in a few weeks and from the way yang behaves I'm better off alone and I could properly kill most of them' I said as raven landed in front of me
"where are you going"
"to destroy a tribe" I said simply
"you can't do that not like this you can't just kill everyone you think is bad what would your mother say if she saw you doing all this you need to calm down and think about this" she said as paused for a second
"yes I can, she would be proud that I'm saving children from pedophile and I'm perfectly calm I have even thought of a way to kill them all and make them suffer too, now get out of my way" I said as my eyes glowed with silver and red
"I won't let you go down this road.... Killing a person is much worse than killing grim I won't move" she said drawing her sword
"move out of my way"
"no I've done a lot of things in my life that I deeply regret but I won't let summer's child mascara a tribe" she said aiming it at me
"uuuuuhhhhh do you have anyway of stopping my phase ability" I asked as I looked as her as she froze 'hehe idiot' I thought as I walked through her sword then her as if she was not there as I continued and as I got to the camp it was so disgusting there were bones, organs and blood every were as there were also cells with children from different ages 'there they are' but as I looked closer I saw no life in there eyes as years of abuse has probably caused them to loss hope and there are now waiting on death
"I wish I came sooner" I said as I flash stepped in front of the cells
"hy can any of you hear me I'm going to get you out okay" I said as I shoot the cell open but non of them come out nor did they move
"I see I'm sorry but at least this way you can all find peace" I said as I took out Domination and shoot them all in the head as tears come down my eyes 'I hate this feeling I hate it so much the feeling of failure but there was nothing I could do' I said as I zoomed around the camp getting all the fire dust crystal and a few other things as I also scout the area for anymore of them but found non as I want back the tree I was at as raven landed in front of me but I was to busy with making bombs with my speed
"what are you doing with all those"
"making bombs or in this case body combustion bomb I'm going to burn them alive" I said not stopping
"what about the children what happened to the"
"... There was no saving them as they where to far gone so I had to put them out of there own good"
"I see so you first kill were children like you"
"yes but I see at saving them like when one put down the beloved dog to end its suffering I did the same things... Done" I said as I took all the bombs and used my semblance to place the bomb in everyone's pockets except the chief of the tribe and after I was done I want to one of the trees so I can get a proper view but it was uncovered so they could see as I placed one hand in my pocket a touching the remote
"who's that"
"oh its another child that has come to play"
"it's my turn to have this one leave before I make" as they began to argue with each other I just stood there but as I did two of them had decided to attack me as they jumped in front of me but got shot with in seconds as there bodies fall the others stopped and looked at me as I placed Domination back on my back
"I see that I got all you attention my name is... No that would be dumn hmmmm just call me REAPER and as the name suggests I have come to reaper all you soul, so I just would like to say" I raised my hand up as I snapped my fingers "BURN"
"was that supposed to scare-" he could finish as he was covered in flame, then the next then the next 'I made them to go of one by one this way I can end them all but still install as much fear, pain, and suffering as I can' I thought as one of them ran to the big tent but as soon as she got in she burst into flame as the chief come out in a hurry as was a blue haired slim female who is half naked and with a battle axe in hand
"what is going one here, what is happening to my man" she said as she watched all of them burn
"that would be my doing" I said as I jumped down from the tree as I walk toward her
"you did this little girl.... So what do you want money, power, revenge" she asked as she lead on her axe
"non of the above but you head for all you've done" I said in a bored tone and my hands in my pockets
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHABABAHAHHAHAHAHA you think that a little girl like you can do anything to me!" she laughed as she took out her axe and changed at me 'she's slow but I'm sure that she strong how I don't know so best option is to not get hit' I thought as she swung downwords as the axe got closer I side stepped and used Domination to her knee caps as I kicked the back of her knee then her face to make her fall backwards as I jumped on her chest aimed at her neck and processed to unload 20 shoots into her neck but since I depowered Domination to make the fight longer and the fact that her semblance turn her body into metal getting through was a problem for my depowered baby but as I was shooting she somehow managed to grabbed my leg and threw me ate full strength towards as tree 'I see so she is weaker than uncle qrow since he has thrown me is way harder... Huh I think last time he did I broke through six trees I managed to stop myself' I thought as I righten myself mid air and land on the tree feet first then flash stepped next to her and before she could react I shoot off her arm as she dropped her axe and kicked her in the face with an aura enhanced kick to the ribs as she flew to the other side of the camp as I took her axe 'light then I thought' as I flashed to her as she slowly got up as she vomited out blood
"tch tch tch what happened to all that confidence you had a minute age" I said as I leaned on her axe as she got back up "I've decided that I'm going to kill you with your own weapon" I said as I disappeared and she quickly turned her whole body into metal 'you really think that going to save you'
*Clang* a sound that was made as she fall forward as she was hit in the neck as a rush of wind and rose passed
*Clang* another strike but this time with more power as a of wind and rose formed around her
*Clang*
"show yourself and fight me like a true warrior" she shouted as she felt a deep cut on her neck as she used her hands to cover her but I used Sever at full power to remove them as I carried on and after a few hundred times the cut got bigger buts she was still alive 'huh so it the same power as colossus' but that doesn't matter' I thought as I doubled my effort
*Clang*
"wait please don't do this I was only doing it to survive" she bagged 'lies'
*Clang*
"I'll give you anything, anything you want just please stop"
*Clang* as her head want flying from her body but she was still alive at least for a while as I walked up to her a placed her in the cell they kept the children as she cured my name so I throw her in there as she landed face first on the floor and since there was no bathroom... You get the point 'now to wait for her to die don't need her come back in the future because of some bullshit' I thought as I waited for a few minutes be
before she depleted her aura and her semblance gave out but not before
"I will kill you one day" she said before getting shot with a darkness charged gun destroying her soul
"yeah no you won't" I said as I used my speed to make graves for the children and burnt the camp to the ground 'huh and so we continue'
