Rooster teeth owns RWBY, I own my own OCs


It has been five days since I sent Mara to train with Neo and things seemed to be looking up. Roman managed to pull off another successful dust heist and the news about the murdered Atlesian Lieutenant has gone down a considerable amount which bodes well for me. Now I just have to wait for my next contract and then I can earn my fill.

A loud knock at my door shook me out of my thoughts. "Enter" I commanded

My runner Esteban opened the door and entered as commanded holding a vanilla envelope. "You have new contracts pending Mistress" He stated. He has a good man but entirely too rigid around me sometimes.

"Who's the target?" I asked trying to keep the excitement out of my voice. I loved getting new contracts because then I earn money and I get to use my rifle. I've grown accustomed to calling it 'Serenity' due to the serene feeling that an assassin has right before they take the shot. I also like the rifle because I've modified it to ignore aura so anyone with an aura no matter how strong would be killed just as easily as someone without an unlocked aura.

"You have 3 targets Mistress. Target one: Marcus Lane, Captain, Atlas Special Forces. Target two: Lucy Trainer, civilian agitator and known terrorist. Target three: Jacques Schnee, CEO of the Schnee Dust Company. You have as long as you need and the payouts are 45,000 lien, 20,000 lien, and 500,000 lien respectively." Esteban stated in his near monotone 'debrief' voice. My eyes nearly bulged out of my socket at the price on the elder Schnee's head. Someone must have really wanted him dead if they're willing to pay that much.

"Perfect I will set out immediately, on a side note how is Mara doing?" I questioned to see if he had been keeping an eye on the newest potential recruit.

"She is doing exceptional mistress. Although I might say that Neo is having far too much fun with training this recruit. Possibly it is because Mara can stand a chance against an all-out fight against Neo. If that is all I have other duties to attend to mistress." Esteban said while walking out of my room and making sure to shut the door behind him. He was rather stoic for a deer faunus but it didn't really matter because he was definitely light on his feet.

"Alright" I thought to myself out loud. "Let's get this show on the road."


Dressed in my black assassin garb with a mask that resembled a skull I climbed up on top of the tree I was currently perched I was deep in unexplored territory in the forests far away from any kingdom but north of Vale. I was tracking Captain Marcus Lane and his squad of spec ops soldiers during one of their high-risk training ops. It was nighttime so my black clothing effectively rendered me near invisible and with a little help from one of my many semblances copied through my actual semblance I was silent as silent could be. My semblance was one that could effectively copy other people's semblances through direct contact, so that part is a passive semblance therefore it was always on and copying. So while I had one true semblance, I had hundreds of others as well making me a jack-of-all-trades.

Peering through my binoculars I saw the commando unit moving through the tree line to the south. They were about 200 yards out which was not a problem at all for someone of my skill with a rifle. There were four of them in total and they were on high alert due to grimm being in the area, which played right into my favor with the element of surprise.

Leveling my rifle towards the commandos I turned on the infrared part of my scope to make targeting at night easier and effectively making the targets four glowing balls of orange against a blue backdrop. I silently laughed to myself at the artistic nature of my thoughts and lined up the leader's head in my crosshairs. "Oh Captain my Captain" I whispered as I pulled the trigger. Instantly the captain's head snapped back as his brains showered the other three troopers.

I saw them milling about in shock and confusion as I made my way to escape. In the pitch dark of night there was no evidence I was there except the sweet smell of death and the roaring grimm that were instantly attracted to the fear and negativity that was radiating out of the remaining Special Forces troopers.

Vanishing I used another copied semblance to 'teleport' to my bullhead that was idly waiting nearby. With Luck this op would leave no survivors to tell the tale of what happened. Turning on my bullhead I plotted a course back to Vale so I could take out my second target and get paid. I still had yet to figure out how to kill the Schnee but that would be a plan for after my other two contracts, because my plan would have to be foolproof due to the fact that I had a one for one record of assignation contracts and successful contracts. A spotless record and I planned on keeping it that way.

Turning on the Autopilot I settled in for the flight back planning on catching a few Zs on the way.

Break

The bump on the landing startled me awake as I squinted my eyes as they tried to adjust to the sunlight streaming in through the windows. Checking my scroll for anything important I happened upon a news article about an atlas military tragedy.

Captain Marcus Lane was found dead by Atlas forces today in the grimm filled forests north of Vale. Lane was found next to the three other members of his squad after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. The rest of the squad was killed in a resulting grimm attack. Thanks to special efforts by Private First Class Jeremy Rucker, Atlesian troops were able to locate the team's distress beacon and return the bodies to the families for proper burials. The Captain was said to have been killed by the White Reaper in a blatant attack on Atlas itself. "We are well aware of the recent attacks on the Atlas Military and are doing everything in our power to stop this menace." Says Special Operations Commander Lie Ren. A follow up comment from his colleague Major Nora Valkyrie mentions that when they find the killer they will quote "Break their legs". That is all for the Atlas News

Well the good news was that they didn't know where I am. The bad news is that I pissed off the military's elite soldiers, I mean less elite than me and my elites but still not a force to be taken lightly. I'd have to deal with that later as I still had more contracts to fulfill. And the next one was a doozy.

The target was a faunus woman who had cut ties with the White Fang and became a lone extremist who racked up quite the following, which meant unfortunately for me she would always have a group of supporters. This contract was in my grey zone because this could cause many more tensions to strain with the faunus and human populations. But it needed to be done so I'd have to do this quietly.

After walking around for what seemed like hours I finally made it to the apartment of the faunus agitator and quietly slipped inside. While inside I noticed that the target took a wide variety of meds that weren't covered on her dossier.

"Take once every day at 2pm eh?" I whispered to myself. Looking at my watch I saw it was 1:30 so I would have to make this quick. Quickly unscrewing the cap on the bottle I added a little botulinum toxin to the pills and screwed the cap back on, the toxin would be more than enough for the poor woman as I had added 100 times the lethal dosage. Now all I had to do was wait.

"Yes the protest went without a hitch" I heard a woman say as the door to the apartment opened. "No the police never showed just like I predicted." She continued obviously talking into her scroll. I couldn't see her because I was hiding in the hall closet, camouflaged by my semblance so even if the door opened I wouldn't be spotted. Using my aura to enhance my hearing I continued to listen in on what Lucy had to say.

"Look Roger I have to take my meds now. You be a good little rabbit and don't screw anything up for me mkay?" she said in a rather condescending manner. "What a brat, what does it take for the humans to finally realize we are the superior race. Wait... w-what was in those things?" She shrieked as she started to choke to death on the floor. Exiting the closet I stared her in the eyes for her last moments and then and only then did she know true fear. The Reaper has struck, and she was on the receiving end.

Leaving the apartment without saying a word I picked up her scroll and locked the door. With Luck the body wouldn't be found until after the Schnee was dead.

"All in a day's work" I mumbled to myself as I vanished from the area.
