18 Tailed Beas (2/2)

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 smas.h.i.+ng 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 unleas.h.i.+ng 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 a.s.saulted 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.
