RWBY: The Phantom Of Remnant
Chapter 18 - Tailed Beast
Blinded by rage, Magna released a piercing roar as his body slowly became engulfed in a bloody aura. He felt his conscious slowly becoming dim but did nothing to stop it. Hell, he even welcomed it.
He had just found his family. His mother's eyes were just healed. He had finally started living a normal life in this twisted world.
And yet… here these people were, trying to destroy everything he struggled to gain.
Just as the demon fox cloak started to engulf him, Magna received a set of new memories, containing one of the more dangerous transformation Naruto had.
Tailed-beast mode. Unlike the demon fox cloak, which is just his aura covering his body, this transformation forcefully enhances his body while granting him the ability to shapeshift and manipulate energy. However, the downside is that he will lose control of his body as it becomes driven by his instincts.
He literally felt a push in his mind as he felt like he was glued to a chair infront of a large TV, only being able to watch. A heavy burning sensation engulfed him as a cocoon of black aura slowly covered his body.
The people around him had already collapsed as most were just normal villagers that didn't awaken their semblances.
Just when they thought it was safe to leave, the cocoon burst open. What once was human was now replaced with a humanoid fox made from a bloody aura.
The fox slowly glared at the surrounding area before unleashing a roar unlike any other. The roar actually seemed to influence a person's emotional and mental state as people collapsed with foam and blood leaking from their mouths.
The ones unlucky enough to still be conscious were driven crazy as they started bashing their heads against the ground.
However, the fox never planned to give them mercy, even if they had fallen unconscious. Slowly, it gathered enough energy into it's hands and tail to form three giant and violently rotating blood-red rasengans.
Just as it was about to end the people infront of him, a barrage of bullets flew from one of the trees nearby, causing the two rasengans in his hands to explode.
The foxes eyes glared at the tree before extending its tail high into the sky and ruthlessly slamming down. As the dust settled, a figure slowly walked out, enraging the fox even more.
The figure, donning a grey coat while holding a huge sword, slowly said, "Hey kid, watch where you swing that thing. Might poke someone's eye out."
Slowly, cracks started to appeared on the foxes, no, on Magna's face before forming a mouth of jagged teeth. A voice that was a mix between Magna's and Kurama's slowly said, "…Qrow."
This caused Qrow to frown as he asked, "Do you know me, kid?"
A small growl escaped from Magna's mouth as he replied, "Know you? No. Heard of you? Yes."
Qrow's frown deepened as he stated, "Then you know that I can't let you kill all these people."
Suddenly, an eerie smile appeared on Magna's face as he snorted and said, "You can try."
Before anyone could react, Magna's tail appeared from under the ground behind Qrow and whipped straight towards him.
But who is Qrow? He's one of remnants greatest hunters. He didn't panic and raised his sword to guard the attack.
However, he grossly underestimated the force that attack held. Once Magna's tail made contact with his sword, Qrow was instantly sent flying.
Seeing this as his chance, Magna quickly created another rasengan to finish off the people around him, only for it to be shot and explode again.
Looking towards the direction he sent Qrow flying, he saw him standing in a pile of rubble with blood leaking down his mouth.
With a low growl, Magna lifted his arms for a second before smashing them down, embedding them deep into the ground.
Qrow became confused as nothing happened. Yet just as he was about to close the distance between them, a huge pair of crimson claws sprung out from the ground and grabbed his legs.
Magna easily dragged him into the ground all the way to his head. Seeing him struggle to even move, Magna decided that his next attack will definitely end it.
Slowly, Magna's tail curved until it was above his head. Orbs of red and blue began to appear and slowly gather into a dark purple orb.
Qrow struggled even fiercer as he could feel the danger radiation off of the purple orb.
'I can't let that attack complete!'
Gritting his teeth, Qrow forced his hand out from the ground and rapidly started firing at Magna. Qrow didn't stop until he unloaded the entire clip.
Magna didn't stop his attack but he couldn't let Qrow stop him either. Throwing Qrow to the tree he appeared from, Magna was just about to swallow the orb when his view was suddenly blocked by two pairs of wolf ears.
With their arms spread wide, Argo and Luna stood before him. Magna couldn't help but falter with his newly found family before him. Yet before he could stop himself, he felt his body tremble as he was forced to continue.
Waves of panic washed over him, helping Magna to forcefully gain more control of his body yet it still insisted on attacking. As his eyes quivered, Magna pleaded, "Argo… Luna… move… please… I can't control myself!"
Instead of backing down, both girls smiled as they said, "We believe in you…"
All the panic and anger he felt quickly faded away. Even though he couldn't stop himself from launching the attack, he managed to gain control of his arms.
Gritting his teeth, Magna used his arms and pulled his own head backwards until his mouth was facing the sky. His body suddenly expanded into a huge ball before unleashing a huge beam of pure energy from his mouth. The beam continued to grow in size the higher it got into the sky.
By the time the beam was fully spent, the clouds above the village were parted in a huge circle. Smoke and steam slowly exhaled from Magna's mouth as fatigue assaulted him.
Turns out, using the fake fox blast consumed half his aura reserves while it gathered the negative energy in the air to completely form the attack. Top that off with the repeated use of rasengan, Magna's aura is totally spent. Not to mention the mental fatigue from fighting for control of his body. Running on nothing but fumes, Magna's tailed beast cloak quickly disipitated, revealing Magna's body completely covered in extreme burns.
The last thing Magna heard before falling unconscious were the gasps and cries of Argo and Luna.
