Chapter 3

The next day I leaned on the wall by team RWBY's room hearing their little plan I quickly sent a message to my team telling them my own plan.

"Ice and I will attend one of these White Fang meetings, Neo you'll take Naniele to meet Junior, Follow Yang do not give yourselves away, stealth is key." I told them when I had returned to the room.

"So, any idea what we'd do once we get there?" Ice smirked I only rolled my eyes.

"Atlas has brought along some new mechs…I bet a few have already been stolen." I chuckled he smirked.

"I see so when do we head out?" Ice asked.

"Night fall." I replied we then sat around the room and waited.

The sun was starting to go down a few hours later Ice and I headed through Vale carefully tailing Blake and Sun keeping to high grounds to avoid being spotted.

Once those two had entered we appeared by the door man who handed us a blank White Fang mask each we quickly placed them on and entered.

I could barely see out of the damned slits in the mask how regular members can stand wearing these things every day is beyond me.

"New recruits? Keep to the right." A member pointed leading us to a huge room, Ice and I stood back slightly intimidated by the amount of Faunus here.

"Thank you all for coming." Called the lieutenant I was shocked how huge he was in person.

"For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours. I can assure you that he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for, for so long." He yelled my eyes flicked around and fell upon Torchwick.

"Thank you, thank you, please hold your applause." Torchwick smiled.

"What's a human doing here?" A Faunus at the front of the crowd cried.

"I'm glad you asked Deer-y." I scoffed at that.

"Talk about being racist." I whispered Ice only chuckled.

"Now I'll be first to admit: Humans… are the worst." He said.

"Yeah no shit!" I yelled gaining a few encouraging calls.

"Case and point- So I understand why you would love to see us all locked away or better yet… killed! But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy… The ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty rotten humans that run our kingdoms. Government…Military…Even the schools! They're all to blame for your lot in life." He called gaining a few encouraging replies."

"How long is he going to be talking this shit?" Ice asked I just shrugged.

"And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around…No offence to any rodents in the room." He said quickly.

He then snapped his fingers and the sheet behind him came down and the crowd applaud at the sight of the Atlesian Paladin-290 mech… it even had the White Fang mark painted on its shoulder. That thing is bigger than I thought it would be…looks live I've bitten off more than I can chew again.

"As some of you may know, this right here," He gave the robot a quick tap. "Is Atlas' newest defence against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my "employer", we've managed the snag a few before they, uh, "hit the shelves". Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine…But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?" He smirked I bared my teeth, he did have quite a convincing reasoning…NO BAD BRAIN!

"Will all new recruits, please come forward!" The Lieutenant called out Faunus started to move but I was in no mood today to join them.

I pulled off my White Fang mask and pulled up my normal facemask before giving a battle cry and leaping for Torchwick, the linen wrapping on my arm coming undone the White Fang gasped at the sight of my paw, the way the crack like blood veins glowed bright orange/red. I then saw a shadow leap from behind the mech and threw a bear trap at me.

The teeth bit into my ribs Snare stood beside Roman with a wicked grin on her cracked unfinished face.

"You Traitor." She hissed her forked tongue flickering at the air I twisted and used my claws to cut the chain.

Torchwick got into the mech.

"TIME TO GO!" I yelled running for the exit, Ice, Sun and Blake followed close behind as we escaped through a window while Roman smashed through the wall.

"Silver? What the hell?" Blake yelled as she caught up with me.

"Not now Blake!" I snarled as we ran down the street.

"Call for backup!" Ice snapped as he shot fireballs at the mech to slow it down Blake pulled out her scroll.

"Everyone! If you can hear me, we need back-" She started.

"HELP!" Sun and I yelled at the top of our lungs he then snatched Blake's scroll out of her hand.

"Big robot! And it's big! Really big!" He cried as we kept running I felt the amount of adrenalin run through my veins.

I checked over my shoulder and saw two other figures on the robot. One was a demon with huge fangs so that it's mouth didn't close properly and ox like horns sticking out of its head, it's companion being a huge skeleton with large bull like horns and messy black hair that was still somehow clinging to its skull.

"Not to mention three of my demons!" I yelled.

"That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like, it didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something! HURRY!" Sun yelled as we continued to run.

He leapt onto a busy highway Ice and I landed on a truck, I was struggling to catch my breath.

"No time to stop." I panted as the Paladin appeared knocking cars out of the way.

"Why does your team always get involved?" Blake yelled as we hopped from car to car.

"I'll explain later." I snapped seeing Weiss drop down and create an ice rink the Paladin slipped and tumbled down below the highway Snare had caught Ice by the leg and dragged him down with them I leapt down and cut the chain.

Snare grinned at me Skull growled and Ox roared.

"Ice now would be the best time!" I yelled.

"I'm on it!" He snapped back his stripes emitting the flames that drove Snare and Skull away.

Of course, the failsafe! Most of the unfinished or scrapped beings fear fire the only acceptation being Ox, Snare released her grip on her weapon and Skull backed away.

"Okay…this should be fun… Neo Naniele you two take Ox, he's the one with the huge teeth, Ice you take Snare I'll get Skull…" I growled launching myself at the 8ft skeleton.

Skull roared in hate when I crashed into his rib cage only brute force would work against it.

It took about five minutes for our fight to go to hell… Snare had caught Naniele and Neo, Ice tried to help but had a fireproof net thrown over him, Skull had his hands wrapped around my neck cutting off my air supply I looked over and saw Ox crushing Yang in a bear hug.

You know I shouldn't be mad but you have seriously fucked this up

"Who the fuck?" I thought.

Newsflash kid I'm one of the stronger shadow people... We made a deal didn't we? We give you the power we seek and in return you spill blood either yours or your enemy's, look you fucked up, big time so I'm gonna have to give your this drug a little earlier than we wanted to, think of it as a mixture, it's another personality so yeah you'll have to deal with more voices. It's green just to warn you, an even mix of logic thinking and your wolven instincts. Now them

ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW THEM OR WHAT?

Oh yeah…welp time to show these lot who the REAL PREDATOR IS!

I slid my legs up and planted my feet on the ribs of Skull and shot him off I quickly got to my feet and yelled.

"Listen up! You three have gotten on my final nerve…" The rest of my sentence was cut off with a deep snarl. I went down into a crouch as a green ghostly light wrapped around me, hoisting me a little off the ground as my spectral formed around me creating a giant glowing wolf. I howled and charged snatching up Ox and ripping him in half. I turned my head to Snare, she threw as many traps as she could at me but they were useless against this new spectral mainly due to them just flying straight through it.

I ripped her arms off and crushed her head under my paws. Skull gave a shrill shriek as it tried to retreat only Ice, now free from the net, grabbed him by the horns and burned the beast to ashes. I turned to Torchwick and charged, I slammed head first into the mech, sending it tumbling across the ground, shattering through the mechanics and armour plating. I had spent all my energy just holding this spectral together, as it faded I was there on my hands and knees panting, my vision fading in and out.

"And I just got this thing cleaned." Torchwick complained brushing his suit clean of dust.

Torchwick was suddenly in the airship and called out.

"Ladies, Gentleman, Traitor, Ice Queen, Werewolf."

"Hey!" Weiss yelled at him.

"Always a pleasure." I raised my gun and tried to aim a shot but my hand was shaking far too much I fell to the ground, I felt too weak to hold my eyes open.

I could only just feel someone picking me up and then it was just black and numb…
