The 'Lone' Hero of Vale (RWBY & Link)

Previously on the 'Lone' Hero of Vale...

"I wanted to end all crime in the whole world... That's been my goal and was going to be official once I became a professional huntress which was my ultimate d-dream, but..." Ruby's voice starts to become weaker, she stops herself and her eyes begin to shake and well up with tears. The young huntress reaches with her right hand and grabs a hold of Link by his tunic, "D-dang it... Now I pass on my dreams and goals to you, L-link! So don't you dare not carry them out! O-okay?" Her eyes slowly close soon after these last words

"Miss Rose plunged into what she knew was a trap, to protect you?" Ironwood opens his eyes and stands up straight. "I will give her all the credit and props in the world, she is a huntress worthy of respect."

"Shut... Up!" Link mumbles with a weak tone as he painfully forces himself to pull Ruby away from himself, he softly lays her down on the cracked concrete, and her hand flop once again. "Y-you sick Atlas monsters killed Ruby... the same way you killed my best friend!"

"N-not good." Ironwood backs away despite not being in immediate danger. "But his aura was completely depleted and he was clearly out of energy earlier, what is going on?" He continues to back away as Link slowly ascends to his feet. "This criminal... just what the hell kind of power does he have?!"

Continuing: The City of Vale

"Grrrrr... COME HERE!"

Link's shouts with all his might, the rough tone and intensity in his voice stuns the Atlas General in place, along Coco and Velvet who are even more scared now than they were before. The furious huntsman in training takes off and charges full speed at the Atlas general, with every intention to kill him

"He's coming!" Ironwood, forced to hold his position, reaches for his gun and has little time to prepare the enemy

...

"I must not hold back!" Ironwood aims his revolver and fires not just one but three perfect shots, aiming directly at Link's chest. "I can't be reckless, whatever is going on with his face is probably something to stay away from, the rest of his body has not changed much, I should aim for anywhere else except the head in that case!"

"Grrrrr!" Link sprints right into the bullets and his aura easily blocks, repels, and sends the bullets straight into the ground as if they were nothing. "Is that all you have?! A gun and physicality?!"

"WHAT?! It didn't even come close, his aura repelled it completely and by a good couple of feet. This is not normal at all! A person's aura normally defends them right as they are about to be hit with an attack!" Ironwood's eyes widened when Link was right in his path. "S-so fast!"

"AHHH!" Link springs in the air, aiming and delivering a flying side kick...

...To an Atlesian Knight that steps in front of Link, consequently taking Ironwood's spot as the general gets away by sprinting past Link and the Atlesian Knight. The powerful flying side kick alone from Link is enough to knock its head off its shoulders, rendering the Knight useless

Link whips his head back, quickly scanning the area, looking at all the Atlesian Knights first before locating Ironwood hiding behind them

"Very well then!" Ironwood frowns and realizes he himself cannot land a direct shit, but maybe a volume of attacks will work. "Fire! And don't stop until he's down! Forget bringing him in alive!" The older man commands his machinery

All eighteen Atlesian Knights fire their guns at Link and easily make contact with the huntsman in training's body, which would be great for them, had his aura not blocked every single bullet and instead sent them flying back as if he were getting pebbles and specs of dust launched at him, not dangerous projectiles. Link reaches for the handle of his sword but does not bother to get in stance for maximum speed, power, or precision. The student simply keeps a straight face as the small triforce engraved in his left hand lights up brightly, along with all the designs around his sheath, shield, sword, and some of his clothes. In a quick flash, he is already past a row of Atlesian Knights, who had just reloaded their rifles. Link, with this sudden surge of power appears right in front of Ironwood, his arm is fully extended, sword drawn and held behind him, showing it has been swung, the second he looks up to stare daggers into the Atlas general, twelve Atlesian Knights cohesively split in half, leaving Ironwood with only six now
