"At least I'll have a teammate this time?" I quietly say as I see both mine and Matt's name chalked up for a match. "So now we have six members? Weiss asked. "Seems like it." I reply as the random generator started. Then we were selected, and seeing the other two caused both Matt and I to gasp. "No... why them..." Matt muttered. "Why are Mercury and Emerald here!?" I exclaim.
"You two know them?" Ruby asked. "Yes... FUCK!" I shout punching the wall. The sound shot throughout the metal hallway. "They are members of the white fang... you need to tell the officials, else we WILL kill them." Matt said, drawing his knife. "Got it, you guys just try to survive." Yang said, before the team started leaving. "C'mon, Matt, let's get 'em." I say. He nods as we walk to the platform. We come eye to eye with them.
"Who'd thought you two would be here. Care to help? We could really use it." Emerald said, a smirk appearing. I quickly draw my weapon, and the building goes into lock down mode. "You've already been discovered. Now we just have to remove the trash." I say, preparing myself.
"Oh, can you do it? Can you kill?" Emerald asked, a smirk appearing. I point my sword at her, death in my eye. "You fuckers, you convinced me people were less than us. You convinced me it was alright to hurt them, you convinced me to kill! I am about to make sure you feel the pain all those I hurt felt. It's the least I can do to honor them. I'm going to kill you!" Matt shouts.
Mercury begins to laugh at Matt's outburst. Then, Matt charges him with a speed I never knew he had. Matt swings his knife towards Mercury's head, but misses. I find myself rushing toward Emerald. I hear a buzzer go off, but I dodge Emerald, swinging at her, connecting with her stomach, a large gash appearing. Then footsteps.
"Udai! Stop!" I hear someone shout and the sound of the bolt on a gun slamming shut. "Hands up!" Someone shouts. "What? Why are you?" I look back and both Emerald and Mercury are staring, horror stricken. I then had my arms yanked behind my back. "What the hell!?" I say as I get tossed to the ground. "We heard him say he was going to kill them. You are an accomplice. You will be tried in court." An officer says.
Then I feel some handcuffs put on my wrists. "What the hell?" I say as I get yanked up and escorted out of the arena. I see the rest of our team leaving. Their heads were hanging in shame.
"Matt... she got us..." I whispered, knowing full well both Mercury and Emerald were laughing at us. "Yeah... she fucking did.." He said. "Shut up." The officer escorting me said.
We were forced in a vehicle and taken to one of the many airships surrounding the arena. We had been forced into little pods, and I knew then, something was about to happen. The seat was not uncomfortable, yet, I couldn't get comfortable. Then I heard them, the sirens.
"Shit!" I exclaim as I kick at the door. "Let me out!" I shout, but my pleas had fallen on the wrong ears. The door slid open to reveal Roman Torchwick. "Oh no..." I mutter. "Oh yes, this is great!" He said, a sinister smile plastered on his face as Matt was led into view, Neo holding a blade to his back, and a collar around his neck. A slave collar, one you could only find in the black market. "You are going to help me, Udai, whether you want to, or not." He said, suddenly becoming very serious.
"Don't hurt him." I say, my gaze lowering. "Don't hurt him." Roman mocks. "I can't say I won't hurt him, but if you be a good little captive, he'll live." Roman finished.
"What do you want me to do..." I mutter. "We have huntsmen heading toward us right this moment. You will stop them, I don't care how, but you will stop them." He said. I lower my head. "Yes sir." I growl out. He then hands me Hope, and I knew, I could kill them here. But I also knew, Matt wouldn't make it out alive. "Get up, and head outside." He said, tossing me a headset. I put it on and nodded,heading toward the door, Matt being led away from me. 'I will find us a way out, I promise.' I thought to myself.
I make it outside to see a flash of red.
"Shit..." "Udai?"
"Roman, it's Ruby, you better get up here." I say into the headset quietly. "You're kidding, on our way." He said, irritation in his voice.
"Why are you here?" Ruby asks. "I could ask you the same question... why did it have to be you." I mutter. "Udai, what's going-" A shot cut her off. "Hello red, you are really good at getting in our business, aren't you." Roman said, moving beside me. "Udai..?" I look at her with a sense of helplessness, giving her a look of "help me".
She seemed to understand it. "You've forced him to help you, haven't you." Ruby asked her eyes lowering. "Ah, quite observant. But no, he's not forced to do anything. But I think he'd rather not live with the consequences of not helping us." Roman responded. Then Neo shot toward Ruby, managing to hit her. The hit knocked her off the ship. I see Neo walking toward her, her blade drawn, and I was sure a smirk was on her face.
Suddenly, her umbrella opened and she was flung from the ship. Ruby managed to climb back up. "You don't seem to get it, do you Red? We WILL win. Your little huntsmen are NOTHING." Roman said, pulling out his weapon. "But don't worry, I'll kill you-" Without warning, a nevermore had gotten the drop on him and managed to swallow him whole before leaving.
"Shit, Matt!" I said, running back in. "Udai, what's wrong with Matt?" Ruby asked catching up to me. "They collared him." I replied quickly as we rush down the hall. I open the door to the room I believed they took him into and saw him sitting at a chair, looking down. Ruby had disappeared from my view as I walked in.
I rush over quickly, pulling out my lock pick set I always have with me. "Hold on a sec Matt, I'll have you out in a sec," I say really quick.
I didn't know whether Roman had the transmitter on him, or if it was on the ship. I then heard a beeping. Matt looked at me. "No."
A blade shot out from collar, severing Matt's jugular. With the last bit of life he had in him, he used to hand me a paper and some dog tags, with blood dripping from under the collar. "Matt," I say, stunned.
"Udai!" Ruby said, walking in, before stopping suddenly. "M-matt?" She asked his lifeless body. I dropped my head as the tears began to flow. "FUCK!" I shout, both anger and sadness filling my voice. I look at the paper, and saw a name written on it. Reng Shuto.
And some more fresh writing. "The only person I killed."
"I...I'm more than a monster... than he ever was..." I mutter. I had believed that he had killed far more people than I had, but I never expected he had only killed one person. "Udai? What do you mean?" Ruby asked. "I...I killed...killed..." I stutter out, shocked. I fall to my knees, looking at the heap that used to be my brother. "He killed only one..."
"C'mon, Udai, we have to go.." Ruby said, obviously shocked at what I had said. I imagined she put two and two together. "I...I don't deserve to be on your team..." I mutter. "This is not the time! Get up!" She said, yanking me to my feet. I looked out the window and saw the ground heading toward us, or rather, we were heading toward it.
"Shit," I mutter. "Let's go!" Ruby said quickly. I put the paper and dog tags in my jacket. I also grab Matt's handgun he always carried, and put it with the tags. The weapon's name was Shine. I nodded as we headed back up.
I then felt the aircraft hit the ground, throwing me off my feet, and I began sliding towards a massive amount of flames. "No, no, no, no no no." I shouted trying to grab something, anything. I felt Ruby grab my hand. "Hold on!" She shouted as the ship shook. An explosion then tossed us from the wreckage. I landed on my back with a hard thud. "Agh! Fuck!" I say as I roll onto my side.
"Udai, are you okay?" Ruby asked, immediately rolling up the back of my shirt, checking for injuries. "You should just leave me..." I tell her. "No, you are a part of the team, Udai, I will not leave you," She told me. "Ok, you don't seem to have any permanent damage. C'mon, we have to find the rest of the team," She said, lifting me up. "Agh, fuck me," I say as I finally get to my own feet.
"Let's go," Ruby says, allowing me to lean on her. "Why? Why Ruby? I'm a murderer..." I say. "You can't change your past, but from what I've seen, that's not you today. You know the Udai I know? I know the one who said he wanted to help other people," She said.
"Besides, you're family. I won't leave a family member in need," She said as we walked back into the city. "Where's the evac?" I asked. "Probably near the landing pad, it's not far off. We shouldn't have any trouble getting there," She said.
"It's depressing, isn't it?" I ask about the crumbling buildings, and the smoke filling the air.
"Yeah, yeah it is," Ruby replied. We rounded a corner and saw the rest of our team. But two of them lay on the ground. As we got closer I saw Yang was missing an appendage. "Oh no..." I hear say as she let go of me.
I stumble but manage to remain on my feet. "Yang, oh fuck..." I say as I walk over. I see Blake on the ground, saying sorry over and over. "Who did this!?" I growl out. "Adam..." I hear Blake mumble the name. I heard it loud and clear. Adam, I knew exactly who it was. "I'm going to fucking kill him!" I shouted, suddenly not in pain anymore. I then heard Blake tell me not too. "That fucker has too far this time! Wait...why not?" I ask as what Blake had said hits me.
She looks shocked, as did both Ruby and Weiss. "He...he used to be my partner..."
"So we both have a mutual friend." I spit the word friend out. I then heard a scroll going off. "Jaune, what is it?" I hear Ruby ask. "Oh no... Guys, we have to help Pyhrra!" She said as the line cut off. "Where is she?" I ask, Ruby points to the tower. "What are we waiting for?" Wiess said, beginning to head that way. I look to Ruby and she nods. I begin following.
A Grimm jumped out in front of us, and I grab Shine and take aim. I single pull of the trigger and I hit the head, killing it. "Fuck out of my way!" I growl, as two more take it's place. Ruby jumps in front of us and does a spin with her scythe, killing both. We quickly make it to the tower, the destroyed remains of the academy giving me a small bit of sadness. Within seconds, Weiss had wards up the side of the tower. "You two go up, I'll stay behind," She said.
I nod as Ruby begins heading up. I then see the largest Grimm I have ever seen heading toward the tower. "Shit!" I shout as I begin my run up the side. I make it up to see Phyrra literally disintegrating. I then hear Ruby scream something along the lines of "No!"
Then, I see a flash of white. I quickly put up my arms to protect myself, but black out as the light hit. I open my eyes, and see a strange area. I scan my surroundings, which no longer appears to be the academy. But, a white field, which at first I believed to be snow. But upon closer inspection, I realized it was not ,in fact, snow. The leaves of the trees around the clearing were also white, the bark of said trees a shade of grey. I hear a roar, that sounded distant, but extremely close at the same time.
I go to grab Hope, but I don't find it. I turn around to see the gigantic creature that was attacking the academy. "Oh fuck..." I mutter as I prepare to run, but freeze as it lands in front of me. I quickly dodge as the Grimm slams it's hand down where I was just seconds ago. "Fuck...fuck fuck fuck." I say quickly.
I then see a beam of light on the ground, and something that seemed to be a hilt. I quickly rush to it, and grab it, but it disintegrates as I do. "No..." I say standing, defeated. I turn back to the Grimm and see a figure standing on the other side. I felt a parental aura coming from the figure. "Dad..?" I mutter reaching out to him realizing this must be a dream. I see light building in my hand. I close it slightly, and a scythe forms in my hand. The weight on it felt perfect.
The handle was perfectly straight, and white as the world I currently stood in. the blade on it was grey, a grey which could be found in real metals. Down the middle of the curved weapon's blade, was a light blue glow. Behind the blade, a barrel with a trigger near the black grip. The receiver for the magazine and firing mechanism also sported the white with light blue color scheme.
I look back to the Grimm which was now pacing around me. "You're going to die here." I say calmly. I swing the weapon around. It lets out another roar. I rush toward it and swing down, catching it's face, leaving a diagonal cut. I spin, activating a button which changed the barrel direction towards the back of the weapon instead of down the handle. I fire a round and the blade slices easily through the creature, causing it jump back, letting out a roar of pain.
I jump, firing off a shot, jetting me toward the creature yet again. I begin the spinning which both Ruby and I had mastered. Only I put far more power into it. I fire one more shot right before the blade hit. I tear through the creature, removing both legs. But, It managed to clip me in the stomach, leaving a red line on it.
"Ah!" I yelp out, surprised. It felt so real. It swung around, hitting me with it's wings, knocking me back. I hit the ground and slide a ways before rolling back to my feet. The beast, now airborne, just glared at me.
"You fucking want some!?" I shout at the creature, agitating it. It begins to attack, flying quickly toward me. I prepared as he grew closer. At the last second, I swing over my head, and down, firing a barrage of shots. The blade slammed into the Grimm, and through it's head. This knocked it to my side, and I followed along with it, spinning the scythe back around, and firing another barrage of shots. With all the power from the shots, I cleaved through its neck, causing it to seemingly ignite, and a rush of solid air flowing from it.
This caused me to put my arm up, and black out yet again.
