46 Chapter 39: Strongest Mother and Daughter Combo Part 1

An explosion resounded from a distance, Signifying that their fight Has truly began.

Four stretched her muscles and went on all fours like a cheetah eyeing it's prey...

"Let's begin!!!" She shouted as she leapt upwards, She lifted her enormous shield and tried to bash Cinder with it.

Cinder Levitated away from the danger, Four crashed down...

Creating a large crater on the ground.

She looked towards Cinder, "You can levitate!?"

Cinder gave her a smirk and formed multiple arrows Firing at Her.

She blocked the arrows, as the arrows hit her shield they were ground into dust.

She taunted Cinder, "Is this all you can do!?"

Cinder created balls of flame and fired it towards Three and Four.

Three was sent flying towards Four's shield.

*Crash*

"Uurrk! *Spits* You wench!! you'll pay for that!" Three shouted as she slowly stood up.

But Cinder ignored them and created more glass arrows aiming at them both, Emerald used her semblance to confuse them on which side the arrows were coming from.

They were barraged by arrows both imaginary and real, Four's Roar echoed and shattered the real glass arrows.

The arrows were turned into dust, They fell like tiny shard ashes.

Four mocked the power of Cinder.

"Hahahahahaha!! I'm gonna tear you into shreds!!!"

But Cinder has completed her objective, she pulled emerald towards her, and created a magic barrier.

She then made those tiny little shards explode.

*Boooom!!!!!*

The entire place was decimated.

In the middle of all the smoke and rubble, Three and Four were standing there, wounded in many places, but not enough to take them down...

"Three! Don't get in my way! I will take them both down!!"

Her sword and shield transformed into two Heavy gauntlets covered in spikes.

She jumped up and tried to punch Cinders magic bubble.

*Bam!

The bubble cracked from the pressure of her attack.

Emerald and Cinder we're surprised from the tenacity of the two.

"Not bad for a cannon fodder... But if that's the extent of your skills... then I don't even have to try..."

Cinder said as they descended and she undid her magic bubble.

Four grinned, and she charged towards Cinder.

She sent multiple punches towards Cinder, But Cinder dodged them one by one. She smirked as she calmly evaded her strikes.

After every evade cinder did she would summon arrows, and she held those arrows and stabbed it towards the wounds of Four.

But Fours muscles we're extremely tough, The glass shattered upon contact.

Cinder panicked as Four's unrelenting attacks were getting more and more ferocious.

The wind from her strikes alone were strong enough to blow her away, If it wasn't for her abundant amounts of aura. She would have long been sent flying.

Four knows the life or death factor in this battle, It was distance...

If she gets even a hit in, Cinder would topple down to the ground and she could crush her like paste.

Cinder gained some distance from Four as she turned the ground into slippery ice using her magic.

She fired her arrows towards Four, But the wind from her fists allowed her to interfere with Cinders arrows.

But as she redirected the arrows Cinder would detonate it almost immediately.

They were both suppressing each other's combat ability is what four thought.

But Cinder is stronger in close quarters combat...

Four then again tried to shorten their distance, She increased her speed, moving like an actual cheetah...

Cinder tried to predict where she would move next so she tried to fire her arrows in advance, detonating them upon impact.

Four increased her speed once more entirely focusing on dodging and decreasing the distance between the two of them.

Little does she know Cinder has been directing her where she wants four to go.

Four was only a meter away from her Target so she leaped the distance between Her and Cinders.

She Jabbed towards Cinders Direction, Cinder expecting this Jumped and stepped on Fours arm.

Emerald used her semblance to confuse Four, making her think that her target is still there.

Cinder Encased her arms with glass. Four noticed that The cinder she attacked was an illusion, and as she woke up from her stupor her hands were already encased in glass.

She tried to pull away but Cinder made spikes inside that dug through her skin, piercing it slowly.

"Shit! Let me go!! you coward!!"

Cinder laughed, "I think you're misunderstanding something here... this was never an one-on-one... this has always been a team fight."

Three tried to jump in, but emerald suddenly appeared beneath her and sent a kick towards her chin. Sending her flying backwards.

Countless red magic Circles appeared and surrounded Four.

Cinder clenched her fist and she detonated her magic and the glass shards all over the place.

*Boom Boom Boooom!!!!

*Roaaaaaaaar!!!!* a deafening roar echoed it was Four Half of her body was burning and some of her skin were torn to shreds.

Cinder spoke as she smirked towards Four. "I can't believe you fell for that again..."

Four ignored her taunts as she laughed madly.

"Hehehehehe, you really did a number on us... ain't I right three!"

Three pushed away the rubble, "Yeah... I never expected that a maiden was part of that fuckers Harem..."

Four laughed madly, *Whistles* "We're really at a disadvantage... we even don't have a semblance... what part of this is fair!?"

But despite all those words, and despite all of Fours injuries.

They were both calm and serene...

As if they were still holding back something.

Four's appearance slowly changed... she turned into a bipedal cheetah, She kinda looks like Haruki's Vànagandr form, except that only her front body was human, Her limbs, head and Back were all covered in Cheetah fur.

Cinder wondered how this was even possible...

"I thought you two don't have semblances?"

Four just laughed, "We don't it's as simple as that..."

Cinder shrugged her shoulders, "I haven't seen a faunus transform like that before..."

Three raised her eyebrows, "Like we said earlier, were homunculus not a fucking human, Were genetically engineered for Combat.

Mistress Aergia created us from scratch, then grew us like babies! Then she combined strands of DNA that fit together the missing blocks...

But this was a hard process, a lot of tests were conducted and a lot died just by being exposed to the Grimm or Faunus DNA."

Cinder was surprised, "Grimm? You combined with a Grimm? How?"

Three was overjoyed to talk about their mistress.

"Think of it like this, the parasitic Grimm... you can seal it to any part of your body and then absorb the life force of your target.

Mistress Aergia used it's trait to bond with other Grimm genes, successfully creating Us! but!! Only four of us were made...

She said only four of us were needed! She could have made an army! but she didn't...

She doesn't give a damn about world conquest, she only gives a damn about knowledge! and the attainments she could make!

That's what makes her great!!! She is the greatest amongst all the sinners! She's basically God to us!!!!"

Four nodded her head as three endlessly praised Aergia.

Cinder and Emerald were weirded out by this, they both thought, 'Is this what they call blind devotion? these crazy lunatics...'

Four grinned, Her face looking like an Apex predator about to pounce on an unsuspecting gazelle.

"Three for real this time, don't interrupt!"

Three sighed and shrugged her shoulders.

She went on all fours ready to dash anytime...

Cinder knew that Four was seriously aiming for their deaths.

She instantly summoned fiery- red Katanas, similar to Haruki's absolute demise.

Four immediately came attacking over the instant Cinder summoned her weapons.

Four wasn't crafty in her attacks, but her extraordinary speed resulted in greater impact behind her gauntlets.

Cinder noticed something different from her weapon.

Her whole arms were now covered in Golden Armor extending to her elbow, the weird thing about her weapons where they had tubes that emit wind.

Cinder was blown backwards, Four immediately gave chase.

Both parties fought at extremely high speeds.

Their silhouettes clashed all over the place.

One appeared like a predator chasing it's prey.

The other looked like a flame that burned everything it touched.

Cinder Copied How Haruki fought with absolute demise.

She wanted to show Four that Her speed is nothing compared to true skill, so instead of dodging she parried her extremely fast attacks.

Then as she parried off the last of Fours barrage, She noticed that she was staggering as she retreated.

She felt dizzy as if something was assaulting her senses.

She tried to ignore her light-headedness, She steadied her stance.

Four was smiling, "Finally took effect eh? it took longer than expected, you're a tougher fighter than you look."

Cinder tried to speak as violent nausea assaulted her senses.

"What was that attack!?"

Four shrugged her shoulders, "That was just basic science...

My attacks varied from strong and fast to just fast, creating different kinds of wind pressure...

Causing to make you a little dizzy or to rupture your ear drums!!! hahahahahaha! Mistress Aergia is such a genius! even us with out semblances could achieve this kind of power."

Cinder charged towards Four, Slashing towards her, She spun her blades trying to counteract her techniques.

Four just sent an unnatural punch that was extremely fast.

Cinder blocked this but she was sent backwards a few meters.

Her nose was slowly bleeding, "Huh? How!? I still have plenty more aura!"

Four laughed, "Aura? the fucks your aura going to do!? that's not considered an attack so you won't notice until it's too late! When it has assaulted your senses it's all over for you miss maiden!!"

Cinder clicked her tongue, "Tsk, That's an annoying weapon."

Four ushered Cinder to come at her.

Cinder Slashed towards Fours gauntlets, Four dodged the attacks instead of parrying them, for Cinder might detonate her swords once more.

Four's dodges slowly turned into a routine, turning into a pattern.

Four noticed this, Cinders attacks had a pattern towards it, Yet she continued the same dodging pattern because she might be leading her into a trap if she followed with a counter.

Clearly, this fight was of an extremely low standard, though not so on combat skills. both parties were pretty good fighters, although they were just doing the same thing over and over again.

Three wondered if they both were waiting for something.

The weaving killing intent emanating from the two suddenly disappeared, being replaced by silence.

A Dazzling Red flash suddenly shone out from the Void, Before Four toppled down to the ground, Having wounds that didn't exist before.

There was not the slightest bit of flashiness, nor there was any trace of killing Intent. It was the purest, most focused and simplest of moves.

Three was shocked, 'How did that happen!? How was that possible!!! She was doing the same moves over and over again!!! how can she get wounded all over the place!?' She thought to herself.

Cinder wiped the blood from her nose, and shook her head to erase the dizziness she was feeling.

"Hehehehehe... Surprised? Well it's simple really... from beginning till now I've never fought alone..."

Emerald waved her hands.

"Emerald used her semblance to assault your senses and made you think you're dodging my strikes... in actuality, I am adjusting my strikes minutely, giving them the right angle to wound you..."

Cinder clapped her Hands as if she remembered something.

"Oh yeah before I forget... There are tiny little shards inside the wounds of your fellow Homuncu-whatever... better remove it quickly before it blows up."

Three opened her eyes wide and dashed madly towards her direction, "You bi-"

Cinder interrupted her, "Whoops too late." She snapped her fingers and within an instant Four was covered in red magic circles.

*Boooooom!!!!!!

Cinder covered herself and emerald with a magic barrier...

Two shadows emanated from the explosion...

She was shakily crawling from the rubble.

Four's body was mangled into shreds...

Yet she was still standing, Grinning from ear to well whats left of her face...

She slowly transformed into a Grimm/Faunus Hybrid, leaving no trace of her humanity.

She looked like an alpha Beowulf... Spikes protruding out of every corner of her body, and her fur turned hard as steel, Her eyes glowed red...

She finally spoke...

"What's your names ladies? you are the first two to push me this far and transform..."

Their fight was about to come to an end...

Cinder and Emerald Looked at each other, smirking at what each other was thinking, because they were about to say the same thing.

"Cinder Kazama!!" "Emerald Kazama!!"
