Cardin runs from the scene as he shoots more rounds from his gun at the police officers who are getting in the way. An officer comes out of a cover and swings his sky hook at him, Cardin moves to the left and shoots the officer in the head. The boy picks up the sky hook from the dead officer and proceeds to run, he then goes behind the stage then a floating firework ship. More officer's jump down on him causing Cardin to take cover behinds a firework stand, the officer gives his partner covering fire as he activates a turret. Cardin gets out of cover and shoots the officer in the arm while the other in the back. The turret comes to life and turns around firing at him.

The boy looks at the ghost hovering over his hand, as it hovers over it, his hand glows green. The turret continues firing and he has no option.

"This better work like last time." Cardin spreads his hand wide while aiming it, the ghost flies towards the turret. The turret begins to glow green and turns around while firing at numerous policemen. He slowly gets off the platform, he see's the retreating policemen get shot by the turret. The policemen are then slaughtered by it, Cardin runs past dead corpses while trying not throw up. He see's another police barricade, the police notice him and begin firing at him. Cardin dodges the first shots while taking cover, he emerges out of cover and shoots the first one who is reloading his weapon.

"Bastard!" The second policemen cried, he raises his gun but Cardin shoots him in the head. Cardin runs through the opening leading to the restaurant, cops are seen retreating from him.

"The fireman is here! Were saved!" Cardin snorts.

"How scary..."Suddenly, he hears grumbling. A large flaming figure lands on the ground and gives off a fiery shock wave, its gets up in front of Cardin. The figure is wearing a padded suit that linked to an iron exoskeleton and flaming boilers attached to its back. On his face is a metallic mask that has glowing silts over them.

"Burn in the name of the prophet!" The fireman throws a fireball at him, Cardin shoots the fireball causing the flaming debris to burn him on the arm. He throws another round at him but Cardin dodges the hit again. Cardin fires his weapon again and it causes some damage to him, he continues to shoot the fireman at him, the shots remove the pads off him. The fireman's temper rises like the degree's on summer, it charges towards Cardin. The fireman swipes Cardin and sends him flying, the boy crawls away to safety and turns around to see the fireman charging at him again. It lifts him and tightens its grip on his neck, Cardin fires another round no effect. He is loosing air real badly as his vision begins to fade, he feels his throat burning as he raises his gun again, he finally lets go of the trigger.

Daddy!

His eye lids slowly shut as his eyes begin to roll over in pain, as a last act of defiance, the bully raises his hand and gives the finger. He shuts his eyes as the fireman tightens the grip, he aims his weapon at the fireman's chest. The gun discharges and hits the fireman in the flaming chest, the fireman coughs in pain, Cardin grabs a nearby shotgun from a dead police officer. The fireman raises its head, the shot tears the right upper part of his brain off. A slash of blood splatters over Cardin's cheek as he gives a grim and emotionless expression on him. He breathes heavily as he slowly walks to the fireman's corpse, he finds a bottle after scavenging his corpse. The bottle is glowing red and the bottle cap has a dragon on top of it, he opens the bottle cap, it appears to be the infernal embrace nostrum that (Infinite) Velvet mentioned.

"Bottoms up..."He drinks the nostrum and starts to cough smoke. Cardin looks at his hands, they are beginning to heat up, suddenly fire begins to erupt on them and he screams in terror. The burning stops and Cardin notices his hand has morphed into a more dragon-like appearance except flaming, similar to the fireman's hands. He slowly walks towards the restaurant while dragging the shotgun on the floor, unlike the standard Colombian shotgun, this seems to be a mixture of both. He enters the empty restaurant, he see's the Lutece's, the male is wiping a table while the the other is carrying a plate with vial of yellow substance in it.

"How did you-Never mind. Why are you following me?" Cardin asks.

"We came here first-" Robert replied

"-So why are you following us?" Rosalind continued. Cardin sighs and approaches Rosalind, he grabs the vial and drinks it, he feels a little bit sick.

"What was that?" He sickly asks.

""A magnetic shield." Rosalind answered. Cardin rolls his eyes and leaves the restaurant, as he leaves, he hears a speaker. The announcer is warning the citizens of Colombia that the false shepherd is on the loose and caused a mockery by shedding blood on the streets in the day of the anniversary of Colombia's secession. Cardin spots a crane and looks at his sky hook.

"Remember what Beacon taught you..." He jumps in the air, suddenly he is dragged towards the crane and his hook latches on to it. He spots another crane and jumps towards it, on the bottom of Cardin is two soldiers armed with machine guns, they look more like a mix between a grease gun and the triple R. Cardin shoots the first in the head while his partner turns around.

"Adam's down!" Cardin jumps towards him while raising his sky hook, he swings the sky hook at the soldiers face. The boy then picks up his machine gun and takes cover as one of the soldiers throw a smoke grenade. Cardin then crotches to cover himself in smoke, he slowly moves in the mist as soldiers pass by him. He finds cover and looks around him, as he moves to the entrance, another soldier passes by him. He holds still as a large group passes by, as the group leaves, he continues to move. The smoke clears right in front of him and he starts to run on the streets, he spots a building in front of the angel statue. The sign reads the fraternal order of the ravens. In front of him is a statue of a man wielding a flintlock pistol with an engraving on the bottom reading John Wilkes Booth.

Cardin walks around to see portraits of a man wearing a tall hat with devil horns which makes him uncomfortable, he goes upstairs to see a group of men wearing cloaks. He couldn't hear what the man on the stage is saying but there is crows flying over him like he was holy or something. Suddenly one of the cloaked men turn around with their eyes wide open.

"Its the false shepherd!" The man on the disappears into a flock of crows, the cloaked men pull out pistols and clubs, Cardin looks at his flaming hand and aims it at the men, he opens his hand and a wave of fire comes out of it, the men duck as the flames spread everywhere. Cardin then proceeds to shoot at them, they dodge his shots but only one was hit. A man runs up to the armed bully, Cardin swings his sky hook at his face, the man recovers from the blow and he raises his knife at Cardin, Cardin aims his gun...A click is only heard.

The man swings his knife but Cardin moves out of the way, he switches to his machine gun and fires it, the attacker falls to the ground with a lot of bullet holes. The men come out of cover and shoot at Cardin in the back. Suddenly, Cardin could feel something breaking, it was his shield that Lutece gave him. Cardin takes cover behind a pew while the attackers proceed to shoot at him, his shield repairs itself and he gets out of cover while firing his machine gun, the men are then eradicated by the machine gun. Cardin counts the corpses and realizes he's missing the crow, he stops while lowering his machine gun by barrel while wiping the blood from his face. He hears a scream of birds behind him and turns around to see of nothing.

He readies his machine gun again and reloads it, Cardin walks along the pews and racist portraits. Suddenly he feels something behind him again and he turns around to see a crow with a piece of bloody meat in its beak. Suddenly, a group of crows begin to form a large figure to reveal the man on the stage only this time he is armed to with a sword.

"You'll need more than that to take me down..." Cardin taunted. The man disintegrates into a flock of crows and they fly towards him, the flock reassembles again and the man swings his sword at Cardin, Cardin moves out of its path and shoots his machine gun at the man. The shots deflect from his coffin on his back as he turns around for cover, he disappears again. The man keeps phasing from left to right as Cardin fires his machine gun at him, he phases from his back this time but escalates into phasing in both sides. Cardin's gun runs out of ammo, he grabs another clip but the man appears in front of him and swings his sword at Cardin again, the blade grazes Cardin in the cheek causing him to aim his gun with only one hand, the man disappears again and he appears from Cardin's back and slashes him in the back.

Cardin falls on his knees with the crow man teleporting everywhere and scarring him with numerous swipes. He looks at the mans feet and endures the scarring, the crow man teleports in front of him again and Cardin grabs his feet and pulls him down. Cardin grabs the mans knife and stabs him in the arm, the man is unable to lift his hand because the knife is pinned through his hand and the floor. Cardin crawls up to him with his sky-hook while birds are pecking him in the back, he raises his sky hook and it slices through the man's face. The crows leave Cardin alone as he falls of the attackers body. Cardin's body now has pecks and slash marks along with bullet grazes.

Cardin then stabs his machine gun on the ground and uses it to lift himself up. He slumps a little as moves, in front of him is a first aid kit with a note on it.

Take your time. -Lutece.

Cardin opens the med kit and finds the stitches, he holds his breath as he rubs alcohol over the wounds. He holds his screams and proceeds to take the stitches. They stab his flesh like needles and it hurt like heck. He then injects morphine in him to help the pain. The boy looks at his stitched wounds and shrugs it off as a flesh wound. He goes outside, suddenly a large airship is parked in front of him, the soldiers come out of the airships and fire at him. He gets on a rail with his sky hook while firing his machine gun. He then gets off the rail once he is near the ships platform, suddenly a loud voice is heard.

"Stop firing!" The soldiers gasp.

"Its the prophet!" They all get on their knees and go into prayer position. Cardin enters the airship, he passes by praying soldiers.

"Cardin Winchester, veteran of the battle of fort Castle and no good killer of children and women..." Cardin looks at the screen to see a man that looks like him except with a large beard, a text is seen next to it reading Father Marius .

"I assume your Father Marius ?" Cardin asks.

"Indeed I am. I know why your here...Give us the girl and wipe away the debt! Our lamb will stay in Colombia, far away from your hands!" Cardin growls in response.

"Look I'm not here to wipe away a debt...Was there a debt?" Cardin's nose begins to bleed again as he begins to fizz up again.

"Oh crap, not again...Remember why your here...Remember why your here...Home, travel to Colombia and Rapture..." Cardin whispers to himself. H enters the ships cockpit and see's a praying nun. He tries to direct the airship into monument island but it won't move. Suddenly another small airship rises up in front of Cardin.

"God forgives all but I am only a prophet, so I don't give..."

"Amen!" Cardin turns around to see the woman lighting a torch, she sets herself on fire while there is gasoline nearby. Cardin runs from the fire as it eats the airship, he jumps on a nearby rail. The avoids falling debris and the rail leads him to monument island. He lands in front of the entrance.

RWBYverse

Dove punches Booker in the face, the man gets up but Sky kicks him. Next to him is Jaune restrained by Russel.

"Okay, since when did you act like an A-list good boy huh?" Sky kicks him again while laughing with the others. Booker gets up but Russel kicks him down.

"I don't know, maybe because being a racist asshole is last year?" Booker smiles at the bullies and gives Jaune an assuring smile. They begin to kick and punch him while he is grunting in pain. Suddenly a tear opens up.

"Hiding amongst children I see Comstock?" The bullies turn around to see Cornelius Slate, he armed with duel hand cannons. Slate scowls at Booker while aiming his guns at the bullies. They all start running away from Slate, something large appears from behind him, its a handyman but not just an ordinary handyman but Samuel Gerst.

"Slate..." The handyman picks up Jaune. While Booker cries out to him, Slate grabs Booker by the collar and punches him in the face.

"I know what you are...I saw the baptism and your name! Soldier!" Slate signals the handyman to kill Jaune.

"No, wait! Its me ya want Slate! Don't get Jaune involved!" The handyman puts down Jaune...And knocks him aside, sending him flying.

"Fuck! You war mongering son of a bitch! I'll kill you!" He repeats the same phrase as Slate punches him in the face. Pyrrha and Ruby look at Samuel walking towards Jaune.

"Oh no Jaune!" Pyrrha cried. Booker punches Slate off him and takes his guns, he points the weapon at Slate but runs away with the veteran shooting at him. He picks up a mud bomb from the ground and throws it at the handyman. Samuel turns around to see Booker wielding Slate's gun with Slate behind him aiming his gun behind Booker's head.

"I don't want to fight Samuel..."He puts away the gun.

"I know who am I and what I did...If this is what makes you happy, then leave Jaune out of this...and take me instead." The handyman and Slate get closer to Booker. He looks at the abomination.

"I'm sorry about Hattie..." The handyman roars in response and raises its hand. Suddenly a sniper round hits it.

"Leave our friends alone!" Ruby warned alongside Yang, Weiss and Blake who have just entered the area alongside Ren and Nora.

"Or will break your mechanical legs!" Samuel roars in reply, he charges towards team RWBY. The girls move out the way, Yang fires a swarm of shots at his back causing Samuel to turn around, he makes a swipe at Yang but she ducks down and makes another but she back flips over it. Blake fires gambol shroud at the mechanical man, the blade stabs in its back, she tugs the weapon causing Samuel to get pulled back slightly. Samuel charges at Blake and makes a lot of few quick swipes at her, Blake dodges all the swipes and slashes the large mechanical man in the chest, causing the fluid in its heart to slightly spill out. Blake continues to make quick swipes at the handyman until he makes another swipe and hits Blake.

The handyman approaches Blake but Ruby fires crescent rose at him. The handyman roars again and then tries to hit Ruby, Ruby gets on his hand then fires at his face. She makes a quick slash on his back, the slashes begin to speed up as Samuel blocks them. An explosion hits Samuel in the back and he turns around to see Nora.

"Yooohooo~ Over here!" She starts running as Samuel destroyed numerous tree's to get to her.

"Ren, now!" Ren jumps from a tree and slashes the handyman in the face with his weapon, storm flower. Nora fires a grenade at the handyman's face causing it to fall over in defeat.

Slate fires his gun at Booker but Booker dodges the shot and grabs Slate in the arm. Slate fires numerous shots but he misses as Booker tries to get the gun from him, Booker successfully gets the gun off Slate's hand. Slate pulls out a large knife and swings it towards Booker, Booker pulls out almace from his pocket and the knife collides with it. Booker swings the mace from to the right but Slate intercepts it and the two begin to clash. Booker swings the mace to the side but Slate ducks and rolls over and grabs Jaune's sword. Booker raises almace again but Slate trips him to the ground, Slate slams the sword on Booker but he blocks it with the mace's pole.

Booker kicks Slate off of him. The two continue to clash while Pyrrha helps Jaune up.

"Jaune we need to go now!" Jaune gets up armed with only his shield, he grabs Pyrrha's weapon.

"What are you-" Jaune runs towards the fighting Slate and Booker.

"Sorry!" Slate's sword collides with Bookers mace, he uses his strength and lifts the mace off of Booker's hand.

"Hey you old guy!" Slate turns around and runs towards Jaune while raising his sword. Pyrrha see's that Jaune has left himself completely open to Slate's attack, her hand begins to glow, just before Slate could stab him, Jaune's shield begins to glow and moves making a surprise defensive. Slate's sword collides with Jaune's shield, Jaune pushes his shield back up and swings his blade at Slate's chest. The angered and wounded veteran makes another charge at him, Slate raises the sword weakly and swipes the sword at Jaune but he blocks it again. Unknown to Jaune, Booker is behind him now wielding his almace.

"Get out of the way!" Jaune moves out of the way and Booker uppercuts Slate with the mace. Slate groans in pain, Booker grabs the third pistol holstered on Slate's leg. Pyrrha checks for a pulse on Slate.

"He's breathing. But out cold." Booker nudges Jaune, he approaches Pyrrha.

"Pyrrha..." Jaune look at Booker who nods at him, he sighs in response.

"I'm sorry I was a jerk! You were only trying to be be nice, and...I thought I was better off alone and learning on my own." Booker smiles at the two.

"Jaune! Its okay! Your team really misses their leader, wanna eat some pancakes Ren made after this?" Pyrrha begins to leave.

"Wait!" Pyrrha turns around.

"I know I don't deserve it after all that happened, but...would you still be willing to help me...Become a better fighter?" Pyrrha smiles in reply.

Booker pats Jaune on the back.

"Learn from the best kid." Pyyrha approaches the two.

"School roof, 7:00PM." Booker smiles, even though he's in another body, he feels like a kid again. Slate gets up again.

"Your not done yet DeWitt! Finish it!" He grabs the sword on the ground and throws it to Booker. Booker looks at the sword then to Slate.

"You know I-" Slate scuffs him off, he walks over to Slate. Booker knew Slate was a man who is always putting up a fight but deep down inside, he's a little frightened and he's quite sure that Slate thinks Vytal is another Colombia. Booker stabs the sword on the ground.

"Vytal is like Colombia Slate."

"The kids made you soft Booker! Soft!" Glynda enters the scene.

"What happened here?" She surrounds Slate in a containment glyph. Team RWBY drags the injured Samuel to Glynda causing her gasp, Booker pushes Blake out of the way.

"Stop doing it! Your treating a suffering man like a trophy!" Samuel breathes heavily and looks at Booker.

"Pocket..." Booker looks at Samuel's jacket pocket, he finds a voxophone and he knew what is meant.

"What is it?" Ruby worriedly asks.

"A voxophone sort of like what you guys call a tape recorder." Booker turns to Samuel.

"Want me to play it?" Samuel smiles at him and nods.

"...One final time..." Booker plays the voxophone, a woman's voice is heard.

"Samuel, when the spells of anger come, I want you to play this recording and remember that I am the proudest woman in Colombia to have been your wife. They said your soul was choked by fumes in that metal box, but this I do not believe. And we shall meet again, in that eternal shore-both of us whole and smiling. I love you. I love you. I love you." The recording ends as team RWBY looks on in pity and sorrow, Glynda sadly bows her head down. Samuel smiles in response and rolls over while looking at the sky, Booker looks at his gun then back to Samuel.

"Want me to-"

"...Yes." Samuel weakly replied. He gets on Samuel's chest and aims the gun at the handyman's chest. Glynda turns wide eyed.

"Mr Winchester-" The gun discharges at Samuel's chest, killing him. Booker throws the gun away while walking.

"Cardin..." Ruby looks on sorrowfully at him while he's walking.

Booker looks at the school view, he sorrowfully looks at the pistol he kept while Russel, Dove and Sky mutter behind him. They walk away as team RWBY arrives, Ruby see's Booker looking at the view.

"So...Nice view huh?"

"Yeah...Nice view..." He leaves.
