Chapter 51: Black and White (5)

~Third POV~

"Nobody move!"

The White Fang soldiers ready their guns and equip their swords in response as Roman spoke out, "Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady."

As the White Fang closes in on her, Blake uses her free hand to go for her bow and remove it, causing the ribbon to fall away as her Faunus ears are shown to the world, "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?"

The White Fang members lower their weapons a little at this development, unsure of what to do, when Roman laughs, "Hahaha! Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?"

Blake glares at Roman as if he was scum as she hissed in her breath, "What are you talking about?"

Roman replies with a smirk across his face as he replied to her much to her dismay, "The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!"

Blake demanded from Roman to spill about their plans as she raised her voice, "Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation."

*Swoosh*

*Woosh*

Suddenly, the air is filled with more turbines blowing the wind wildly around the holdup as Roman was looking up, "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation..."

Two more Bullheads are hovering above the heist, and as Blake watches in horror, Roman smiles and manages to fire his cane at Blake's feet, resulting in a large explosion.

*BOOM*

Elsewhere as Weiss and Yang tried looking for Blake and Ruby, they rested during the sunset near the clock tower.

As Weiss sat down on the stairs she began to talk to Yang about Ruby in a judgmental tone, "You spoil Ruby. That's why she's always showing off her abilities to get praise. Am I wrong Yang?"

Yang waves Weiss off agreeing with her as she replied to the Ice Queen waving her off, "Okay, fine. But why don't you stop bragging about being the perfect teammate, and actually think about what it means to be a friend?"

Hearing the news of a Dust Robbery the two huntresses-in-training managed to hear the news, "It's a Dust Robbery hurry!"

They both looked at each other and soon followed the police.

Blake, dazed but relatively unhurt on the ground, quickly rolls and runs out of the way of Roman's continued attacks, flaming missiles destroying cargo behind her as she flips and uses her semblance to dodge then retreats behind more containers.

Roman approaches slowly with his taunts towards Blake, "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty...—"

"Woohoo!"

That is when Roman got interrupted when a banana peel lands on his head, causing him to toss it aside and then look up and growl at the assailant's eyes widening as Sun leaps from the container above Roman and drops down on the criminal's face feet-first, rolling up and readying himself to fight.

"Leave her alone!"

"Make me Monkey boy!"

The Bullheads opened to let more White Fang members descend on the scene, standing by Roman as he gets up and surrounding Sun as he spoke, "You are not the brightest banana in the bunch, are you, kid?"

"He isn't but I am."

"Wait… that voice…"

*SWOOSH*

With that said, the White Fang charge at the monkey Faunus, but that was when Roman heard Jack's voice he recognized it as soon came a gust of wind that charges at the White Fang members as Jack used <Petal Burst> to run up carrying the wind behind to charge at the grunts as they were thrown to the shipments as Roman avoided it.

*Thud*

"Ahh!"

"Fuck!"

*Bam*

"Owww…!"

"Damn it!"

"Who attacked us!"

*Woosh*

Sun pulled out a collapsible red staff as Jack reassembles himself again next to him with his gauntlets Sun spoke to him, "Haha! Thanks for the save man. And cool Semblance. But mine is cooler Bro."

Getting into a fighter stance the White Fang grunts began to charge in at them as the both of them manages to dodge slashes and get some of the soldiers with their fists and kicks while Jack spoke, "You haven't seen anything yet. And look out around the fight – to your left Wukong!"

Sun quickly uses this to beat down on each opponent that nears him, felling each one in a single flaming blow when he twirls it around, even creating a scorching shockwave to beat the last of them.

Sun sees that more are coming as Jack cracks his fist as he began to smirk using <Telekinesis> as all of their weapons were forcibly taken they looked up in confusion Sun noticed with widening eyes as Jack spoke out, "Oh were you looking for these boys? Sorry, but do you have a Visa card? No? Then I'm afraid I need to confiscate them and thanks for your generosity."

*Swoosh*

All the weapons in the air soon all came towards Jack as he placed them all in his hands Jack activated <Deep Pockets> absorbing the matter into his soul expanding more items in the form of royal blue color particles as all the grunts now weaponless saw their weapons gone in an instant as Jack spoke, "Now then… who's up for a good old fashion fist fight?"

*Smack*

Smacking his fist together as sparks flew off from the gauntlets he wore Sun made a comment with a mild smile of surprise on his face, "Hey dude how about after this explain to me what the hell just happen? And why do you have two or more Semblances? Not that I'm complaining."

With the show, Jack managed to see visuals of his skills <Deep Pocket> leveling up.

And that wasn't the only thing he gained but also more EXP as the grunts are now fighting on equal footing with their fist.

Something Jack has a massive advantage to use his <Martial Arts Mastery> and <Unarmed Combat> to increase his level and his skills levels.

Roman on the other hand kept his eyes on Roman as he squinted his eyes at him as he gets closer in his direction, "Tch. To think I would be lucky to meet the punk who took my hat. I'll make sure to spill where he put it as that is more than a few years old but has sentimental value to me."

Clenching his fist, he went towards Jack, Sun, and Blake's direction.

Blake peers around the corner of the container to watch Sun jump around and beat another White Fang soldier, landing on his back and causing him to fly over in a random direction.

Jack was surrounded on all corners as he smirked as he turned grunts surrounding them encased in pure aura thanks to his <Aura Trapping> skill keeping them in place as he goes in for a single one shot to the balls for the guys or headshot to the girl Faunus's as they all groan in pain.

*Thud*

They soon all fell to the ground the guys holding their privates in withering pain and the girls were knocked out cold as Jack glances over at more coming his way as he sighed.

The crime boss growls in annoyance and aims his cane at Jack, firing a shot that Jack noticed as he used <Petal Burst> to avoid the attack entirely as the shot managed to create a small fire explosion.

*BOOM*

Avoiding that is when Blake leaps into the action as she growls at Roman, "No you're mine!"

*Woosh*

*Swoosh*

*Woosh*

*Shing*

*Clang*

Blake goes in close and becomes a blur of afterimages as she slashes both blades at Roman, who backs away and deflects each would-be blow with his cane at unbelievable speeds. Blake continues to dash, hop over, and slide around Roman to try and find a weak spot.

After finding one Blake rushes forward as Roman growls at her as he finally managed to make the first hit, "Sorry kitty but I'm afraid I have an appointment and a score to settle with the boy. So sorry but here's a prize!"

Finally landing narrowly landing a blow after using her Semblance Roman counterattacks with a smack of his cane to her in the face.

"What?!"

Surprised that he felt nothing it was when Roman thought to himself quickly, 'Wait… I only hit a clone. Then – '

Turning around quickly as he used his cane to block Blake's blade weapon with surprise on her face as he spoke, "Sorry kid but I'm way above your league. I have something you don't have at this stage…."

*SMACK*

"Ah…!"

Yelling in pain with a sudden leg sweep from Roman as he saw Blake land on her feet but noticeably wounded from the blow as her aura recovers her as he finished, "You lack the wisdom and intelligence of age sweetie. As well as style."

Blake merely growls at him as she rushed at Roman, "Grr…"

The two clash weapons again, then Torchwick jabs her in the side as he smirks as he spoke, "Sorry kitty but this ain't your time to play with the big kids. And time for you to know why."

*BAM*

"Ack!"

*Bam*

"Tch."

*Swoosh*

*Thud*

"Damn it!"

Roman began to land a few more hits on Blake until one final beating to the head with his cane causes her to go down as he casually walked toward her, "Like I said kitty this isn't your playground. And be like a cat and scram like the animal you are."

Just as Roman deals with one opponent his aura immediately detected someone coming.

Fast.

Swinging his can above intending to leave the finishing blow he immediately backed off as support as he backflipped away to avoid an incoming fist along with a gust of wind followed by Roman glaring his eyes at the target.

Jack reemerged from using <Petal Burst> returning to himself as he gets Blake up with a hand as his eyes glances at Roman as he spoke out pleased, "Well, well ain't you a sight for sore eyes? Not only would I get to deal with you for stealing my hat but also finish up killing the guy that made Tukson old boy scram free before I got to him."

Hearing the words of Roman Blake was reminded of a human that came to Tukson bookstore to help him out her eyes widen a bit surprised as she glances at Jack in a new light as she thought to herself, 'You're the human that came to warn Tukson! I guess this really is a small world after all. I have to thank him for saving a fellow Faunus Brother later.'

Blake shoved it down her head for the time being as her attention was on Roman.

They had a thief to catch as Jack on the other hand thought to himself with a grimaced expression on his face, 'Fuck. I don't remember Roman being this good or is it because of the show downplaying him? I guess this must be his real strength if he managed to play around with Blake easily. Now, this is troubling…'
