Chapter 90: RWBY: Grimm Eclipse (9)

~Jack POV~

Temporarily while my clones train in the real world I'm in my <Image Training> again while I see my opponent this time against Shion looking at him because this time I will be the one to win this.

Having fought and practiced in my <Image Training> this time with the surroundings taking place in Weiss's dream world.

<Fusion>.

[Ding!]

[Notice of Higher level Than the player!]

[Adjustments are modified…]

[-Fusion Conditions-

Description: Shion the Dream Hunter of Remnant as main profession is to hunt down Grimm-like Parasites that invade the Hunter or Citizens' hearts by using his Semblance <Dream> to help them in need. You must be able to defeat Shion with 5 skills or less (Passive Skills don't count).]

Ok since I have to defeat with 5 skills or less and thankfully, I can use my Passive Skill ok but which active ones should I get to choose to fight?

I should only focus on the following skills for me to use, <Aura>, <Shadow Clone>, <Aura Ball>, <Glyphs>, and finally <Polarity>.

And just to be on the safe side I should really go ahead and boost my stats maybe it's about time I boost my INT with <Mechanical King> and <Technopathy> in my skill list it's about time I increase my knowledge.

STR is important but with the sudden info of knowledge with those two skills, I should probably get to work on creating some androids similar to Penny to help safeguard my own private island.

Also, add a bit of LUCK into it finally making it an excellent 50 and getting another passive skill for me to use. Hopefully, it would be something good.

Yeah… maybe…

Now then time to add those stat points.

<Super LUCK> (Passive) Lv. MAX

Description: This passive skill can be unlocked once reached 50 stats in LUCK. This passive skill allows normal things to always seem to end up well for the user. This skill protects the user from Minor Misfortune.

----

Cool having the ability to block bad luck even if it's a small amount thank god for that.

Now then…

Turning my attention towards the copy of Shion I began to use my <Shadow Clone> creating four wasting about 2000 AP while we all nodded.

Good.

Next, we all waited so that I can refuel and begin my incantation like a certain bone daddy sitting up all my passive buffs while in the process did my clones before we truly begin the raid boss challenge.

*Shiii*

Each of us began to charge up as we all looked at each with a simple nod.

Time for action.

*Woosh*

Rushing towards the copy of Shion signaling all of our clones to rush in was when it activated Shion to go on the attack using his dreamcatcher weapon as he manipulated the strings of them to launch towards us!

*Woosh*

Nope!

Avoiding the strings coming after all of us two of my clones began to use <Aura Ball> on each palm of their hands rushing towards Shion from the sides while I and two of my clones began to attack.

*Pew*

While two aura balls rushed at Shion he used his Dreamcatcher strings to repel the aura balls using the gravity-infused strings knocking them back and moving away from the attack form backfiring but…

*Bam*

*Woosh*

One of my clones launched a palm strike towards Shion but moved away quickly enough but soon entrapped the clone crushing him in place while my clone struggles to get free while I grimace at the scene.

No, I have to get used to this level of fighting even if I'm the one outpowered here, <Observe>.

Using <Observe> closely at Shion I manage to see his stats while I play being cautious against the guy.

Name: Shion Zaiden

Class: Huntsman

Race: Human

Semblance: <Dream>

Level: 150

HP: 2500/2500

AP: 35,000/35,000

STR: 130

AGI: 130

VIT: 100

INT: 150

WIS: 125

LUCK: 1

----

Hmm…

Pretty strong but I'm just stronger than Shion in terms of skills and versatility since Shion can't use his Semblance for combat but his just as skilled at handling a group of people. Just what I expect from a Huntsman that graduated from Beacon Academy.

*Shiii*

Using <Glyph> to capture Shion's weapon Dreamcatcher I began to pull it to my glyph by using its attraction function forcing it to come to me but instead, my eyes widen and instead of getting his weapon he comes to me instead.

Shit!

*Bam*

"Ack…!"

Feeling the increased speed motion of Shion's blunt attack with his staff forcing me to spit out my saliva next followed by an aura-powered kick to the gut feeling the pain forcing me to fly out.

*Fwoosh*

Getting kicked out and feeling the pain in my gut I used <Glyph> to stop my flying crash course around using it as my platform stopping myself from feeling the blood trickle down my lips, "Fuck… that hurt like hell. Getting hit by staff at high speeds and a kick to the gut. Still…"

While Shion was stuck getting to me my clones began to fight back dbz style avoiding attacks and landing some of them while I prepare to attack back beginning to use <Aura Ball> of my own forming in my hands.

I need… more…

Keep focusing more on my aura ball some more – idea!

My clones are focusing Shion on one place while I began to use rows of <Glyphs> activating their natural repulsion ability but for what I have in mind. However, I have them all lined up with each <Glyph> at the ready with their repulsion ability at the watchful waiting for the chance to launch my aura ball at extreme speeds.

Like a sniper-sized cannon ball.

Keeping my eyes calm at the target I gave my clones the command to pin Shion down, "Go my clones! Keep Shion down by using your own bodies if you must!"

"Roger!"

All my clones agreed as they rushed towards Shion with two being trapped by his gravity strings but the other two managed to get in close enough using their own bodies hugging his legs to not move and the other getting behind pulling a Goku holding Raditz while they nodded so that I can take the shot.

Bang.

*PEW*

The aura ball used entered the <Glyphs> each having the repulsion power increasing my aura ball speed as it passes through multiple of them gathering greater speed till it finally reached the final glyph.

*BOOM*

While the final aura ball was launched at Shion with incredible speeds leaving Shion's eyes to widen leaving no choice but to guard against it.

*KABOOM*

When it made contact with the aura ball a large explosion soon appeared but Shion managed to live through it making me frown seeing his aura flicker in and out meaning he lost a large amount of Aura because of the attack.

I can confirm this by glancing at his AP going down quite a bit in the 10,000s as he was left wide open to the attack with his body healing up.

Moving my <Glyphs> around I began to change them to attraction forcing Shion to come towards me while I made the other Glyphs, I have left into smaller versions of them on my fist ready to end it with one punch.

Remembering a certain vigilante having Attraction and Repulsion I got the idea to use his technique while Shion was forced to come here while the time limit for my <Glyphs> is coming to its end.

Twirling my fist and my body motion in one hit I began to follow the path making a punching position made when my fist passed through the repulsing <Glyphs> to Shion's body trying to escape this attack.

"Whew…"

*Woosh*

*KABOOM*

My fist made contact with Shion when he suddenly now has a hole portion of his upper body his eyes fleeting as his aura finally broke from my punch.

*BAM*

Using the <Glyphs> natural ability to project repulsion fields on any point of its circle, I used it to project four <Glyphs> on my knuckles, weaponizing them to allow for explosively dangerous punches of repulsion.

The destructive power of this technique allows me to easily blow a large hole through a building and in this case blow a hole into my enemies like Shion. Even though Huntsman and Huntress can survive long falls to the ground not everyone is built for that and neither is their aura.

[You gain 150 EXP]

[You gain Gravity Dust (High) in <Deep Pockets>!]

[You gain 1,000 Lien in <Deep Pockets!]

[Ding!]

[-You have met the conditions-]

[-Which skill would you like to copy from Shion Zaiden-

-String Mastery Lv.1

-Dream Lv.1

-Martial Arts Mastery Lv.1

-Dust Mastery Lv.1

…]

I choose <Dream> because I want to see if I should fuse it with <Image Training>.

[Ding!]

[You have successfully copied the skill <Dream>!]

Skill list.

-----

<Dream> (Active) Lv.1 Exp: 0/100%

AP Cost: Varies

Description: This skill allows the user to send the hearts of others into a sleeper's dream or themselves if they made a connection to the target. However, there is a limit to how many times it can be done on a target.

They can only send lucid dreamers back to the victim's dreamscape up to three times which they encounter in the dream world where the power of imagination is up to the target control.

----

Perfect.

With this and fusing it with <Image Training> this could allow me to bypass my <Image Training> of meeting people allowing me to choose to fight different people and with my <Fusion> skill allowing me to copy their skills all of this will be possible.

At least I hope it does so.

But after I get out of here first.

Hmm…

Although I should start looking into a way to recover my skills first…

~Third POV~

After ending the call with Jack Penny began to go towards her home for the day when she received a call from her father happily talking to herself, "Yes everything has been grand friend! Oh! Sorry friend but my father called in for something important I'll call back later. Have a good day friend!"

*Beep*

Finishing up on Jack calling Penny filling her with happiness as she began to talk to herself walking back to her father's home in Mantle, "Oh boy! My dad is so going to be happy about this! I wonder why he called me?"

Opening up her Scroll Penny began to answer but then what happens next seems to stop her in her tracks hearing her father in distress, "Penny! Run away from here dear! Mantle… Atlas… they are not safe! Save yourself before – BOOM! Ah! No, stay away from me you – AHHH! RUN PENNY!!!! BEFORE THEY – Click!"

Penny's eyes shifted to the turned-off screen on her father Pietro's end as worry for the first time filled the android as she began to run towards her home with a worried expression, "No… Father hang on! I'm combat – "

"STAY!"

*Stiff*

Suddenly before Penny could finish; she was suddenly frozen out of nowhere when the person responsible soon comes out of the shadows revealing himself to her along with soldiers coming from the background.

Soon the figures appear to be a young male Faunus with long greenish-black hair tied in a bun and blue eyes. His trait is a dark gray canine tail.

He wears an Atlesian Specialist uniform that consists of a white double-breasted coat with silver buttons, dark blue accents, collar, shoulder flaps with matching cuffs that have two silver buttons. The coat's tail splits, allowing the Faunus tail to move freely.

He has a dark blue belt with a silver buckle around his waist with a dark blue pouch on the right side. He has a red ascot tied around his neck. Marrow wears a red shirt under his coat. He wears dark blue trousers tucked into his black knee-high boots.

This Faunus is Marrow Amin a rookie member of the Ace Operatives Specialists. Marrow's Semblance, Freeze, allows him to stop an enemy's movements as he spoke out 'stay' at Penny forcing her to be in place.

However, there appears to be a bone-like mask covering him as General Ironwood soon comes out with the same bone mask covering him nearing Penny, "Our lord Starro would use you android for his greater purpose. While you can't be controlled normally… we have our means to make you loyal… all for Starro… Take her away for reprogramming."

"Yes… sir…"

Soon enough Marrow began to follow suit while soldiers are carrying Penny stopping her in place with Ironwood talking through his Scroll, "Schnee… has the doctor come to our side… our Starro side…"

A cold voice was heard from the other end responding to the mind-controlled Genera, "Yes… sir… after one of our Master Spawns attached to his face he no longer resisted. Will make the perfect weapon for our Lord sir…"

*Click*

Ending the call Ironwood neon color eyes darted to Penny as her eyes moved worriedly of what was to come…
