The cloudy night skies suddenly became even more cloudy and its color became darker. Sounds of thunder began to crackle loudly from the clouds as lightning began to strike down.

Raven picked up her sword from the ground as her body generated a field of electricity that surrounded her, getting ready to take flight.

Her weapon was a long, single-edged, one-handed red sword of Katana-like design, and it had a trigger built into its hild with a cross-guard.

Jin actually liked the style of her sword, that's why he took it from her earlier to play with it. But it didn't take long for him to get bored of it as it wasn't as flashy as Mythic Edge. That's why he just threw it back to Raven, though he was aiming for her shoulders.

Using her powers as the Spring Maiden, Raven flew towards the flying Jin with an explosive speed and leaving a strong gust of wind. Her body was now surrounded with a field of electricity, as well as icicles and streaks of flames that danced around her.

She rapidly closed in on Jin as she letted out a battle cry.

"Gaaaahhh!"

Raven let out a roar as she thrusted her sword, that was imbued and charged up with powerful lightning, at Jin's chest.

"You insolent...!" Jin roared in anger, completely losing his calm and composed voice.

Him being sent flying away from an attack was a complete humiliation for him. He has never suffered such a thing before! Even if he didn't really feel any pain from the attack, he was actually sent flying!

Usually he would be the one that would send his enemies flying with a slap or a strike from him, but him experiencing being launched off the ground against his will was really a bad experience for him.

Jin furiously parried the strike with a strong slap! Raven was pushed backwards in a great distance by the force. She almost lost her grip on her sword because the slap was just too strong, and her right arm was now aching.

Jin then used his Aura to propel himself towards her with a loud boom. Raven almost panicked at his approach and she reached out her fiery hands and fired a torrent of flames.

Because of his monstrous Aura protection, this kind of attack was completely harmless for Jin. But he couldn't see well because of the flames so he used his right arm to block his face from the flames, though his body was completely unharmed.

He then created a frontal barrier made of Aura to block all the flames for him as he closed on to her. Now in range, Raven did a powerful slash at him, but Jin just parried the strike again with a back-hand slap! Making her left arm cramp from his brute strength.

Jin then made the barrier disappear with a spark and he closed in on her and attempted to make a grab for her throat, but he met some resistance along the way. Raven's fields of electricity and the circling icicles and flames functioned as a natural barrier for her.

But when they all made in contact with Jin, all of them were completely useless against as they couldn't do any harm. Even if Raven made them stronger and stronger, they absolutely couldn't do anything to Jin.

Especially the electric field, the field was actually being absorbed by Jin, only serving as food and nourishment his [Electrokinesis] semblance.

"Hnnmm!"

Raven furiously waved her arms and a powerful gale was unleashed at Jin. Jin used his arms to protect his eyes and he was blasted off, flying far away from her.

The gale didn't do any real harm on Jin, but its powerful force blasted him away. He wasn't on land, so couldn't hold himself down with that force.

"Even though I was just playing with you, but good work Raven, you got me. Hehe, Even though I'm not defeated, you still managed to find some ways to keep me back. But I'll come back, I definitely will." Jin muttered as his eyes letted out a moderate silver light.

'I'll just beat you up for being a douche both in the past and in future. I'll also kill a couple of your goons and then I'll leave....I swear, if you weren't my.....Aunt?...Second Mother? I don't know really. But still! If you weren't Yang's mother, I might as well kill you right now.' Jin thought to himself.

He spent some time falling to the skies until he was finally nearing the ground. He then scanned the environment below him for any creatures and....

"The Nineteen bandits that came with Raven is just a little North from me....Wait there's only fifteen now."

Jin then concentrated some Aura on his back and feet. And in the next second, he used the Aura to propel himself to crash down towards the bandit group's location.

(Insert Plane/Bomb crashing on high speeds SFX)

"Where are they? Where's the leader? Where's that man?" A bandit said while looking around.

"I don't know. We've heard sounds of fighting but they just disappeared." Another bandit said while turning his head from time to time.

Raven was originally moving with them until she just dashed off on her own. The rest of the bandits didn't have any choice but to catch up with her with their mundane running speed.

They actually arrived earlier at Jin and Raven's first meet-up location, but they only saw a few craters, some damaged rocks, a few cut-downed trees, burned grass, and slashed soil. And of course the now armless Vernal, which were already taken back to their camp with four escorters.

"They must've-...."

"Hey, you guys hear that?" Another bandit said in interruption as he began looking around before he looked up and the others followed.

Their eyes widened in shock as they saw a man with a creepy looking mask and black clothing flying towards them in a crashing matter, specifically to the bandit that interrupted his fellow bandit.

Jin had a dark smile underneath his mask as he grabbed the bandit's face as he crashed onto him.

"Flint!" The other bandits exclaimed in shock and worry.

The bandit was pummeled down to the ground while Jin was holding his face, he then immediately activated his [Aura Steal] and drained all of his Aura.

The other bandits watched in horror as their brother's body was slowly turning into a thin and deformed flesh bag. In less than three seconds, Jin managed do take all the bandit's Aura as he tossed away the deformed body.

Jin then turned his head to the surrounding bandits and his eyes flashed with a silver cruel light. He clenched his right fist as his body began to emit small amounts of red electricity.

"Food....All free food." He muttered.

"KILL HIM!"

Right after their fear came anger as a certain bandit roared and charged at Jin with a spear in hand. The others followed up with their own battle cry as they similarly rushed towards Jin with their own weapons in hand.

"You bastard! I'll kill you for what you did to Flint!"

"Son of a bitch! Prepare yourself!"

Jin raised an eye brow at their words as he thought, 'They sound like they are the good guys or something. Hehehe, now I am the bad guy? How ironic for a bunch of bandits.'

Jin turned into a blur and he disappeared at his location. Much to the bandits shock, he instantly appeared at the nearest bandit and grasped his head. The bandit didn't have any time to react at all as he just struggled instinctively while Jin raised him up to the air.

[Aura Steal]

The bandit's body was violently shaking as his body slowly became thin and deformed. The other incoming bandits saw the scene and they stopped before trembling in fear.

"W-w-hat...?"

"M-monster!"

Some bandits all said some words of terror with trembling voices as Jin tossed the thin and deformed body of their friend in front of their feet.

"Food, your all just free food. Although not much, but your still foods worth devouring." Jin said calmly while slowly walking towards them.

His tone then turned into that of a crazed and ravenous beast, "Hehehahahaha! GIVE ME YOUR AURA!"

.....

Raven crashed into the ground and she groaned in pain. Not from the impact, as she used some wind to lessen her fall, but from her arms being almost broken.

Jin's parries made the bones of her arms crack. When he slapped her sword off, she made sure she gripped her weapon tightly to not let go of it which also made some of the force to affect her arms.

She then putted her sword to the ground before healing her arms with Aura as she thought to herself.

'He's stronger, faster and better, basically above me in everything....The infamous Punisher....How come he's that powerful? Such a figure didn't reveal himself to the world in the past, so why reveal himself now?'

She then recalled at their conversation earlier, where The Punisher spoke of her true identity and many other information about her. Specially the feeling of anger in his voice when he spoke about her leaving her former lover and daughter without leaving any kind of reason.

Raven then removed her Grimm mask, revealing the troubled expression on her face. For some reason she was having some weird vibes at the man just because of his reaction to her story.

'Just....who are you...really...'

"NOOOO! PLEAASE!"

She was startled at the loud scream resonating in the forest, "What's happening?! Was that them?!"

Raven hurriedly putted on her mask and she grabbed her sword before dashing to the direction where the scream came from.

She ran through the forest with great speed as she closed in on the location. It only took a few seconds to reach the area and she was shocked at what she saw.

Raven was greeted with The Punisher holding her trembling tribe member in the neck. He was absorbing a yellow Aura light that was coming from the bandit as the poor man's body slowly turned thin and deformed.

After two seconds, The Punisher threw away the deformed corpse behind him. Surrounding him, was other thin and deformed corpses of the bandits. They all died in the most cruel and painful death.

Jin sensed already sensed Raven at the area and he turned his head to her, "Oh, glad your back in the party."

He letted out some composed chuckles before spreading his arms and continuing, "Like what I did to your 'family'? Don't worry, I made sure they screamed as they died painfully."

Raven trembled in anger as she glared at Jin underneath her mask. She then letted out a roar as she infused her sword with flames and threw herself at Jin with a loud boom.

"Idiot..."

Jin just casually grabbed her sword, completely stopping her attack. Raven struggled to get her sword out from his grip as she super-charged her sword with massive amounts of electricity. But Jin's hands didn't budge and was completely unharmed from her desperate attacks.

"You never learn do you."

The Punisher suddenly let go of her sword and he punched Raven at the face with great strength! Raven didn't have any time to react at the imperceptible punch and she was sent flying!

She then crashed into a nearby tree as pieces of her mask fell, revealing her bloodied beautiful face and eyes that released a dark red aura.

Raven was having trouble on getting up as she could hear ringing sounds inside her head. She was completely staggered at that strike. Her hands began shaking as he held her half of her body up from the ground while breathing rapidly.

'Am I going to die here?!' She thought as her heartbeat drastically increased, finally feeling true fear and despair.

"The strong live and the weak die, isn't that how you think Raven?" Jin said as he slowly approached her.

"He-he-he-he, I know you can do more Raven. Now get up, I'll give you three seconds. If you don't get up....then I'll make sure you die in a painful death." Jin threatened as red lightning began crackling around his arms.

"One."

Raven tried to stand up, but in the middle of doing so, was suddenly collapsed of the back pain she was feeling.

"Two."

Raven gritted her teeth as she ignored the ringing noises in her head and the blurring vision she was getting.

"Three."

'No! I don't want to!'

Raven hurriedly pulled out something in Sheath. She was also armed with a scabbard that has a rotary chamber filled with different types of Dust blades, reminiscent of the Dust vial chamber of Weiss' Myrtenaster.

She took out a black colored blade that had an unknown Dust property and she threw it at Jin's face.

Jin looked at the incoming strange black blade through his [Hyper Concentration] and he blurted out in bewilderment.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of desperate attack is this?"

Jin just scoffed at this pathetic attack and he just let it hit him. But something unexpected happened...

It broke...

His mask broke!

"What...."

That strange blade somehow penetrated through his Aura protection and broke his mask! Showing Jin's full hair and shocked face to the world!

Raven's eyes widened in shock at the scene before her. The first thing that she thought upon seeing The Punisher's face was one thing.

"Summer...."

Raven then continued in a trembling voice.

"A-re you....her ch-...."
