Chapter 64: RWBY Ice Queendom (12)
~Third POV~
Standing in the middle of Weiss Dream Fortress stood Jack rebelling against Negative Weiss with a confident smile on his face as Negative Weiss spoke to him coldly, "As expected from a Rebel. You will hide like rats but now the rebel leader I will pass your judgment. I don't need my sister for this!"
*Shiii*
Jack used <Observe> to tell that Weiss was using an ice-based attack as Jack openly mocks her with his arms opening up to her, "Well then come, Judge Judy! Better be sure the first attack makes it otherwise you will be in for a hell of a time!"
Negative Weiss merely glares at Jack as she waves her weapon pointing in the direction as Ice Dust used to fuel her <Glyphs> were launched at Jack.
Jack wasn't going to take that as he began to rush towards Weiss activating his combat skills and stacking each other to have a better edge as his fist shined of royal blue color powered up evident on his fist of his skills.
*PEW*
*PEW*
*PEW*
However, as the blast of Ice Dust energy beams aimed at Jack his item <Coat of Ice> activated as a white hue surrounded Jack as all the ice attacks were suddenly nullified not even getting close to Jack, to begin with.
"What – "
*BAM*
*BOOM*
That was as much as Negative Weiss would say before Jack managed to punch Negative Weiss on the face using all of <Aura>, <Aura Combat>, <Martial Arts Mastery>, <Unarmed Combat>, <Aura Amp>, and <Super STR>.
The impact of Jack's fist connecting to Negative Weiss's face made a sonic boom sound as it collided…
*SWOOSH*
*THUD*
*THUD*
*THUD*
Jack for his part was honestly surprised as he basically launched Negative Weiss through multiple buildings as he blinks and surprised himself, "Well… shit. I didn't think I was that strong…? Maybe investing in STR stats was the best -"
*Shiii*
Speaking too soon for Jack's own good he saw that <Glyphs> were surrounding him as he sighs seeing this as he spoke to himself, "Sigh... Welp. Spoke too, soon didn't I?"
*PEW*
*PEW*
*PEW*
Each <Glyphs> managed to shoot out beams of Ice Dust as his item <Coat of Ice> nullifies all Negative Weiss attacks.
However, that was when Jack notices they changed to orange as he began to use two of his coins to create decoys.
*Shiii*
*Shiii*
"You can't get me Ice Queen!"
"You can't get me Ice Queen!"
"You can't get me – "
*PEW*
*PEW*
That was when Jack saw the two decoys get destroyed as they took the brunt of the fire dust beams burning the decoys while Jack's sweat drops seeing them turn to white again, 'So that's how it feels to have a decoy die for you? Weird and cute as well in a form of a body pillow? I question Shion's form of decoy.'
While Jack was thinking to himself, he got himself to return his attention to the enemy as she comes out from the debris with a glare on her face seeing that her attacks of using Ice Dust became useless against Jack, "How…? How does a rebel like you deny my attacks and my judgment – "
*SWOOSH*
*CLANG*
Not taking chances of letting her speak Jack clashed his gauntlets with Negative Weiss Myrtenaster as sparks flew off from the impact Jack replied with a growl, "Grr… how about you shut up and let your friends save you already!"
*BOOM*
*Woosh*
Another sonic boom was made as the two clashed creating a shockwave between the two colliding weapons as Negative Weiss spoke out to Jack with evident hate in her voice, "You… it was because of you that I lost the chance to get what I wanted! The perfect way I dreamed of envisioning having a team! Of –"
*Swoosh*
Another quick jab to Negative Weiss's face as she avoided it with a parry of her weapon Jack reply with a frown on his face as he spoke, "Really? I knew you were entitled but fuck Weiss you really have some fucking issues to deal with. Especially with the prison, you have in your control."
"Grr…!"
Negative Weiss growled at that as both got distance from each other Negative Weiss raised her Myrtenaster up in the air as the twin pairs crossed energy forming a spiral of Fire Dust covered the weapon as she replied to Jack, "Of course, you wouldn't care commoner! Rebel! Filth! You don't understand anything I have gone through – "
Jack sees the attack coming towards him seeing as Negative Weiss prepares his attack, he used <Polarity> skill on Negative Weiss's weapon a black tint of energy surrounded the weapon completely unnoticed by Negative Weiss as she continues, "You don't know the feeling of those eyes judging me! You don't know what's like, to uphold a legend as my grandfather did! No! You would rather be one of those anti-human Faunus supporters to know the truth that all Faunus are all – Huh?"
Jack smirked as he used <Polarity> skill to bend her weapon tip downward launching the prepared attack back at Negative Weiss's direction as he spoke out confidently, "You activated my trap card… UNO REVERSO CARDO!"
*BOOM*
*CRACK*
Jack seeing the destruction that Negative Weiss's own attack caused the destruction of her own as she also took the brunt of the attack as she kneeled down panting as she spoke out, "What…? What the hell did you use Rebel…"
*Shiii*
Stopping her in place as Jack's <Aura Trapping> skill stopped Negative Weiss in place keeping his eyes on her as he spoke in a calmer tone, "I used my friend's skill or rather her semblance. The very same one that you view as a Goddess here. Pyrrha the very person you wanted on your side… she helped me defeat you."
Negative Weiss's eyes widen at this as she growls at him as Jack continues to speak in a civil manner to her, "Remember what I told you before Weiss Schnee? Remember what I said about the next head can't be a racist? But look at you now trapped like a rat glaring like the animal you and your father have done to many Faunus before you."
*Shiii*
Soon enough a <Glyph> appeared underneath Negative Weiss as she tried to escape using her teleportation <Glyph> but Jack easily dissolved that issue using <Telekinesis> forcing Negative Weiss to stay with him.
Negative Weiss seeing that she can't escape grits her teeth as Jack began to break Negative Weiss's notions of her views, "Listen here Weiss Schnee. Are you exactly like your father? Scum of the earth ruining the Schnee Name like how his ruining your grandfather Big – "
Her eyes filled with hate and rage directed towards Jack screeched out at him, "SHUT IT! YOU DON'T GET TO BESMIRCH MY GRANDFATHER'S NAME!!"
A screeching Negative Weiss said to Jack as he stopped Negative Weiss interrupted him as she spoke out to him in anger tears evident in her eyes making Jack speechless, "You don't know nothing! I never wanted to be anything like him! I'm trying to change this company for the better! You don't know anything! You don't understand the trials and tribulations of even getting to be here in Beacon! It was always a fight with my father in fear of him controlling my life and what I want trying to find my own path like how my Grandfather have done! Like Big Nicholas has done! Following in my grandpa's footsteps!"
Struggling to get free out of her restraints Jack pities Negative Weiss Schnee as he sighs out loud as he spoke out scaring her a bit of what he knows, "True. Maybe I don't even know but... I know enough. Your very mother an alcoholic abandoning her children to monsters like him. Whitely always trying to annoy you because deep down you know that he will be a pawn for Jacques's puppet next heir wanting his attention. Your older sister joining the military hardly enough time to bond leaving to your monster of a father to be in control? Tell me how wrong I am now?"
Negative Weiss's eyes dilated at hearing Jack's words as she knew for sure she never talked that much about her personal life but to him it was an open book.
That frightened her to her core knowing her true life.
Jack wasn't done yet as he saw Negative Weiss's words affecting her as she tried to understand how he knew as he spoke out with a defeated smile, "Don't worry I won't tell. How I got it? Semblance I have explains it. But my point still stands though and getting from the dream. You're afraid of any Faunus in here, but as the next head, you can't let your own fears shackle you. Especially can't let your father be in control."
Negative Weiss stood there in silence as Jack scratches the back of his head as he glances over to Ruby's side where her team is dealing with the Nightmare Weiss listens still, "But you are fortunate though…"
Turning around keeping Negative Weiss trapped in place lost in thought as Jack finishes up his words expresses a frown of disappointment on himself, "… You have some good friends looking after you through this all. Maybe one day they can help you. All will hopefully be explained after you wake so don't be an ice queen, please? I had my fill for the damn day... and I'm sorry..."
Jack sighs as the thorns of the Nightmare Grimm come close but can't get anywhere near them thanks to <Sword of Defiance> around as Jack makes sure Negative Weiss is out of the picture only looking down defeated struggling to break free...
But the feeling of forcing Weiss into this corner did make him feel like scum while thinking calmly to himself, 'And perhaps… sigh… I should really try to be better towards Weiss after hearing and seeing her like that. I hope to change my actions from now on…'
Taking out his Scroll Jack began to call Team RWBY to give them the news of keeping Negative Weiss restrained.
/////
Elsewhere inside the private rooms that held the Grimm Ruby, Blake, and Yang managed to finally arrive at the final destination Yang got a text from Jack as she read out loud, "Guys I have Negative Weiss grounded! She has to teleport <Glyphs> managed to hold her but doesn't know how long. End it quick."
When Yang finished saying that her eyes flashed as surprised as did the rest, but Blake was the first to reply as Ruby readies the relic, "Guess we don't have to worry about Weiss coming after us. With her tied up, we can handle the Grimm with ease."
*Shiii*
As the relic in Ruby's hands faded the door opens to reveal the path where the Nightmare is she readies her weapon as she spoke out to her team, "We made it this far we can't back down now! Jack gave us a chance to end this without interference we go and save Weiss! Ready Team RWBY!"
"Ready!"
*Bang*
Like that they all rushed towards the Grimm Nightmare as they saw the dress as they hack and slash their way towards the nightmare Ruby saw the light shown as she remembered what Jack said to her, '… to combat the Nightmare hiding underneath the shadows when the light of the dress is shown the shadow of the dreamer is where the Nightmare will hide… then does my weapon design to have the gun below…'
As the light shined on the three members Ruby's weapon began to fire off.
*Bang*
"Screeee!"
That was when a screeching sound from the Grimm was heard as she saw her own shadow that contained the Nightmare Grimm as Yang and Blakes had eyes on it as they began to shoot it down.
*Swoosh*
"Ruby!"
Before the bullets could reach it the Nightmare Grimm began to wrap Ruby in its thorns trying to rip her apart Ruby struggles a bit but also thinks at that moment as she glares at the Grimm, 'Ugh! I can't afford to fail now! Yang. Blake. Jack. And Weiss is counting on me to help them! I can't let this Grimm beat me…'
"Ruby hold on!"
"Ruby we are coming!"
Blake and Yang both rushed in to save Ruby as they try to get past the thorns produced by Nightmare Ruby saw her friend and sister trying to save her as the thorns around Ruby's limbs began to tug Ruby thought to herself as flickering lights surrounded her Silver Eyes, 'No… not after making it this far. It's my duty as a huntress to protect all I can. Yang… Blake… Jack… and Weiss… I can't give up when we are this close… I… won't… give… UP!'
*SHIII*
"What!"
"Ruby!"
"SCREEEE…!"
That was when a blinding silver light soon appeared surrounding everyone as the Grimm Nightmare was destroyed revealing its real form Ruby didn't hesitate to take the shoot, "Oh no you don't! I won't let you get away after harming my friends!"
*BANG*
As Ruby shot off from her rifle gun the Grimm Nightmare was soon destroyed leaving out of Weiss's Dream Ruby stands down as Yang and Blake looked at Ruby with an odd expression on their faces seeing the light show as Ruby talked to them confused, "What? Why are you guys looking at me weirdly?"
Blake and Yang were both confused as questions rises seeing Ruby use her <Silver Eyes> for the first time.
