The Way Home, Male reader x Yang Xiao Long volume 5

Downfall

Mercury: (grinning) than I guess I'll have to kill you again

And with that several duplicates of Mercury charge at Y/n, but he is able to fight Mercury almost as if there were one of him.

Mercury: how are you doing this?

Y/n: you can trick an eye, but not a drone.

And with that he dives forward at the panting Mercury and punches him into a wall, he then follows this up by slashing him across the chest several times and kicking him in the head finally breaking his aura.

Y/n: stay down

He then turns to see a frightened Emerald looking back at him while Yang watches in awe.

Meanwhile, Nora Valkyrie is seen holding Magnhild up defensively protecting Jaune Arc, who is still healing Weiss Schnee.

Nora: You guys doing okay?

Jaune: I- I think so. She's coming to. I just wish this would go faster.

Nora: How about you don't complain and just be thankful you unlocked your Semblance when you did.

Jaune: My Semblance?

Nora: How else do you think you're healing her, dummy?

Jaune stares back at her in disbelief before looking back down at Weiss.

Jaune: No. I don't think I'm healing her. Our Aura heals our bodies. It feels... it feels more like I'm using my Aura to amplify hers!

Nora: Wait, aren't you worried about running out?

Jaune: Pyrrha once told me I've got a lot of it. I still believe her.

Suddenly, Weiss opens up her eyes, stirring.

Weiss: Jaune?

Nora smiles before standing guard again. Meanwhile, Lie Ren is seen taking on Hazel Rainart, who punches the former back into the wall. Hazel then launches an electrical charge from his lightning-Dust enhanced arm, electrocuting Ren, causing him to scream in pain before falling to the ground.

Nora: REN!

Jaune: Go! I've got her!

Nora nods at him before proceeding forward.

Weiss: Jaune... what's happening?

Jaune: You took a heavy hit, you need to stay with me while the others fight.

Weiss: That's... (sighs) ... annoying.

Jaune: (smiling) Heh, good to have you back, Weiss.

Meanwhile, Qrow Branwen is seen getting knocked back into the wall and then falls to the ground next to the downed Ren, who struggles to get back up as well. Oscar Pine uses The Long Memory to block flaming rocks being fired from Stalwart. Hazel charges forward and punches Oscar several feet back.

Hazel: Hiding behind the face of a child? A monster like you must be stopped!!

Nora charges at Hazel with a loud battle cry. She leaps into the air, but Hazel catches Magnhild and slams Nora into the ground. Hazel then grabs Nora's head, electrocuting her with his lightning Dust-enhanced arms. She screams out in pain.

Hazel: How many more children must die for you?!

Suddenly, Nora grabs Hazel's wrist.

Hazel: Huh?

Nora, inadvertently enhanced by Hazel's electricity thanks to her Semblance, stands back up and flips him over her shoulder. He rolls back several feet away. Nora then holds Magnhild up defensively, before Ozpin gets her attention.
