A/N: I do not own RWBY as it belongs to Roosterteeth and Monty Oum.

Gunfire was heard outside the village of Han'ei Suru. A figure in a dark blue trench coat hid behind a large tree as bullets soared past him. With a smirk on his face, he waited for a few seconds, until he heard clicking coming from the guns that were firing at him.

With the same smirk on his face, he said almost to himself, "Amateurs."

He then came out from behind the tree and took aim at his attackers. He fired, and three loud bangs came from his weapon, Carter Magnum, and the three figures all began to fall to the ground, motionless as blood began to come out from the wounds that had killed them. Smiling at his work, he began to make his way to the village at a fast pace. Once he had made his way to the village's entrance, he could see the work of his tribe clearly as buildings were lit ablaze and people were scattering, panicking as to the sudden attack on their village.

Flax Farron took in the scene and had an emotionless expression as he made his way to the center of the village. He the spotted a Dust Shop and made his way towards the small store. As expected, the place was completely deserted and most of the Dust remained untouched from the sudden attack he and his tribe of Bandits caused. Flax began to search the store, finding some Dust rounds he could use for later. Putting the rounds inside a small bag, he heard more screaming coming from outside and his assumptions were proven correct when he looked outside and saw a Beowolf run right past him.

Knowing that was his cue to leave, he immediately set out of the shop and ran towards the village exit, making sure to not be seen by any Grimm. He was almost to the exit, when a sudden villager rushed towards him. Flax managed to dodge out of the way and took in his would-be attacker. Clad out in heavy armor, Flax's opponent glared at him and aimed his machine gun right at Flax.

"You should've never attacked us, Bandit! This was a huge mistake and now, I am going to finish the infamous Branwen Bandit Tribe by myself! You hear that!"

'He's cocky and arrogant.' Flax said to himself 'And that will be his own downfall', and then activated his semblance and the rest of the heavy attackers' words were faded out as Flax focused on him and things began to slow down. Flax's eyes became more focused as the heavy attacker just kept on talking. Finally, after what seemed like a few minutes, Flax saw a crack within the heavy's right knee pad. Knowing this, Flax smirked again as he started to form a plan of attack, and he was amazed that the heavy didn't attack him yet.

Flax then started to run to the left, jumping to avoid the oncoming bullets of the heavy's machine gun. He fired a couple of rounds directly at him, distracting the heavy enough for him to boast out. While he was boasting, however, Flax took the opportunity to strike. He ran right at him and once he was in distance, he kicked the heavy right in the jaw, rolling to the right as the heavy tried to hit him with his machine gun. Flax finished the fight by firing three rounds right at the right knee pad, all three rounds going through it and subsequently going through the leg.

The heavy screamed in pain and fell to the floor, blood bursting out of his leg. Flax just shook his head and turned Carter Magnum into its sword form and began to stab and make quick work of the upcoming Grimm. Flax took off the helmet of the heavy and gave him a look of pity. "Sorry that it had to come down like this. Sometimes, you just have a stroke of bad luck, but really… the game was rigged from the start. The weak die, the strong survive."

With that, he began to walk towards the exit, leaving the heavy to bleed out, and saw a dark figure with a bird like Grimm mask waiting for him. The screams of the heavy to Flax lingered in his mind as he and the figure left by walking through a portal that the figure with the Grimm mask had created.

Hey guys, I'm finally back to writing about Team FIRE! Trust me, the time that I've spent away has allowed me to rethink and to fix any mistakes that needed changing. Also, I am completely redoing the series and I'm quite excited to start writing again. Expect some character changes from most of the brothers. Please don't forget to leave any constructive criticism as I am always looking for new ways to improve on my writing. Anyway, this has been ThePhoenix185, over an out!
