Futility of Life

The Beast Within

The guards face started crumbling revealing the face of Adam Tarus "hello darling". he groaned his voice distorted "Adam is that you!?!!?" Blake yelled wanting some confirmation a sword suddenly appeared in his hands it was unmistakable that sword was wilt this definitely was Adam "Please kill me darling" he said again a bloody tear dripping down his face before his face started fixing itself to how it was before and he seemingly got repossessed Blake was too stunned to move "kill you with pleasure you son of a bitch!!!" Yang screamed running towards the man "Yang don't be an idiot!!!" Weiss yelled but it was too late as the girl wasn't listening she went in for a punch "too slow" the man groaned as he backhanded Yang the girl spit on the ground "is that all you got?" She scoffed before falling to the ground Adam stepped on her head "how pathetic you aren't worthy of my darling" he groaned kicking the girl in the head sending her flying into a nearby tree damnit I guess it's up to me now since Yang is so useless Weiss thought to herself looking at Blake "take Yang and get away from here you got it!!!" She yelled Blake just nodded running towards Yang "be careful" the faunus pleaded picking Yang up and dissapering into the forest

Weiss pov- I saw Blake dissappear into the shadows of the forest and sighed in relief "bold of you to tell darling to run do you want to die or something" Adam groaned stepping towards me "I'm not going to die here" I said with a confident tone to try to convince myself "You say that but you know full well that you can't win!!!!" He screamed he screamed running towards me he went in for a slash with wilt I barely dodged it thanks to my semblance he immediately went in with a barrage of slashes not giving me time to breath or think of a counter attack all I could do was dodge I was thrown off guard due to him suddenly thrusting his sword the sword stabbed into my chest barely missing my heart I coughed up blood getting it onto his arm as he pulled the sword out I stumbled falling to the ground dropping my Rapier in the process "you aren't going to die say that again to my face whore" Adam mockingly said pulling me up by my hair he looked me in the eyes and started talking again "you know I only didn't kill you with that attack because your pretty cute why don't you be my new darling?" He said with his voice more distorted than ever "to hell with that" I barely chocked out while coughing up more blood I picked my Rapier "I already love someone I'm willing to die for her sake" I yelled switching to red dust "let us burn in hell together you bastard" I scream throwing my Rapier at the ground creating a glyph that would engulf us both in flames he let go of me and jumped back before my attack could go off "you will die alone" he scoffed waiting for the fire to go off "fooled you" I coughed grabbing my Rapier "I won't die here I promise you that" I froze over the part he stabbed with ice so it would stop the bleeding "the real fight starts now" I coughed getting into a fighting stance "You're right the real fight does start now" said Blake coming out of the shadows "what are you doing back here? Didn't I tell you to run!?!?" I said in annoyance but she already had a response "you won't be able to keep you're promise to me if your dead so let's end this together" all could say to that was thank you.

Blake ran at Adam who ready himself to slash her as soon as she got close he then thought to himself Blake wouldn't do such a straightforward attack this must be a clone he thought letting down his guard Blake abruptly stopped allowing herself to slide to a hault she held her weapon by the ribbon and swung it letting hit Adam it barely cut into him but she did damage which made her smile Weiss immediately ran in and thrusted her Rapier immediately freezing Adam over Blake jumped over the girl and Adam and slashed his back repeatedly as Weiss sent a flurry of thrust his way stopping him from thawing out however Adam was able to force his sword hand to break out of the ice as he swung his sword towards the white haired girls neck thinking fast Blake stopped her assault swinging her blade in order cut of Adam's arm before he could kill the white haired maiden this gave Adam enough time to break out of the ice he ran and pulled his sword out of his lopped off arm he ran up to Weiss faster than the two girls could react he brought is sword down slashing the girls right eye reopening the wound the girl fell screaming in agony as she held her face covering her eye "I noticed you really care about this girl darling" growled Adam kicking Weiss to the ground "as payment for my arm I'll kill this girl" he maniacally laughed stomping on the girls head over and over again suddenly Adam felt a chilling aura freezing him in place he looked over and saw Blake with a shadowy aura "what the hell is this darling?" Adam yelled in confusion "this is your burial ground" Blake snarled getting on all fours Adam noticed her eyes were more cat like, her teeth had grown sharper and longer as well a her nails, and she had a tail made out of a shadowy aura "Darling what the hell is this? It's not your semblance is it?!?" Adam said with pure confusion. The girl only snarled and growled at him. Lunging forward, she went to slash him with her claws and Adam blocked with his sword, causing it to shatter. The faunus immediately tackled Adam to the ground and started slashing with her claws. Adam desperately punched the girl, trying to get her to stop. Blake dodged one of his punches before biting his arm, slowly tearing it off, but she was stopped before his arm fully came off by the white haired girl hugging her from behind. "Blake it's okay I'm fine". the girl said. "please this isn't the girl I know you aren't a beast please stop before you turn into something your not" She pleaded trying to snap her back to her senses Blake turned her focus from adam as she clawed at Weiss trying to make her let go of her "no matter what form you take I'm not letting go of you Blake because I love you" the girl whispered embracing her tighter her words finally reached the faunus she snapped back into reality turning around to hug Weiss back "did I hurt you?" The faunus said crying holding Weiss tight "No you could never hurt me" she whispered back Adam looked at the two and smiled "it seems like I don't have to worry about my darling after all." he chuckled coughing up blood in the process

Weiss- You know we're going to take you in and question you

Adam- yes that's fine. I have no interest in fighting anymore. Besides, the drug should have subsided. I'll lose if I keep fighting.

Weiss- I'll tie you up just in case you plan on running.

Weiss tied Adam to a nearby tree to immobilize him despite him saying he wasn't going anywhere with his injuries. Yang came out of the forest "what did I miss?" She panted, looking around "nothing at all", Weiss said, holding out her hand so she could pull Blake up off the ground. " Do you want me to carry you?" Blake asked Weiss shook her head "It doesn't look like nothing happened tell me the truth ice queen" Yang scoffed Weiss completely ignoring what she said "let's catch up to Ruby" Weiss said running inside the hideout still holding blakes hand "damn you ice queen" Yang spat running after them
