Chapter 1: Redemption

Urrg! A thick steel door opens revealing a maximum security prison beneath the Atlas Military Academy. Ozpin in his usual black suit attire, Glenda in her business attire, and General Ironwood in his military dress Greys walk through and stop at cell three four six.

"I don't know why you would want this piece of shit," Ironwood starts "but here we are."

"Everyone deserves redemption," Ozpin explains, "plus he might have some information on a key player's where about."

"Ozpin, I know your concern over Summer's disappearance is growing everyday but this is guy is terrible news," Glenda speaks up out of concern, "I mean he is wanted in all four kingdoms for thirteen counts of stealing, eighteen counts of breaking and entering, twenty counts of assault and three hundred and one counts of murder in each."

"I know all of this, but sometimes to combat fire you need fire," Ozpin further explains.

"But sometimes when you play with fire it burns you instead," a voice from behind the door interjected.

Ozpin smiles at what was said and nods to Ironwood.

"Open cell three four six!" Ironwood shouts.

Urrg! Another thick steel door opens up revealing a small cell and sixteen year old boy with midnight black hair and well toned muscular body, but it is eyes that define him. They are sky blue, blood red, jet black with silver separating the three colors and the iris from the pupil. His arms are chained to his chest with four chains attaching him to the wall. He also reeked puss and shit.

"Ozpin, Glenda Goodwitch, and General James Ironwood to what do I owe the pleasure?" The boy greeted, "I would stand and greet you properly and smell better but some here think of me as an animal."

The guards at the door gulped audibly.

"Well then why don't one of you unlock him and both of you leave us," Ozpin suggests.

One of the guards runs off leaving the other one to unlock and unchain him. The guard moves slowly because he was unsure of what was going to happen. The boy sees this and gives a quick smile.

"I know over three hundred different ways to kill a person," the boy explains in deadpan, "but that is irrelevant right now."

The guard hurries up and gets all the chains off of the boy and runs from the cell. The boy jumps off the bed and stretches out all his muscles and back. He grabs some soap, a towel, a rag, and a clean change of clothes and rushes off to the showers. An hour later he comes back all freshened up.

"Ahhh! That feels so much better," he says upon arriving back, "but where are my manners? Kiron Sivexen master assassin."

The three look at him for some time as they had no clue as to where he should go. That's when a woman with white hair came running up to them.

"Scheme what is it?" Ironwood asked.

"Prison riot on the lower floors and the guards are being overwhelmed by the numbers," She barely whispers due to being out of breath.

Kiron looks around and sees the railing. He runs and jumps over it and free falls to the lowest level where the riot is taking place. He sees the guards trying everything in their power to stop them from advancing further but to no avail. Kiron launched forward and slammed an open palm into the side of the first guy sending him into the wall. He then proceeded to engage the rest of the mob in hand to hand combat. After a good thirty minutes passed of the hundred and twenty rioters half were knocked out and badly bruised up. The other half was trembling in fear as they had never seen one man do that much damage to so many.

Ozpin walked down to the bottom floor and went straight to Kiron and looked him in the eye for a good minute.

"I have only one question for you," Ozpin spoke.

"And that is?" Kiron asked.

"Of all the people you killed and/or assaulted is any that you regret?" Ozpin asked of him.

"Only one and that is because I found out he was actually innocent," Kiron answered, "that brings me to my question. Why are you here?"

"I am here to offer you redemption, but only if you will accept it and work to earn it."

"What did you have in mind?"

Ozpin smiled at him and waves for him to follow him. As Kiron did he wondered what was about to happen and the next thing he knew he was on a shuttle to Beacon Academy to train to be a hunter. The only thing bugging him about this was that he was a year younger than most of the students but Ozpin said he needed him for a special assignment and that would require the disguise of being a student. So for now the Shadow must stay in the light until it was time.
