I do not own KHR or RWBY. Everything belongs to their respected owners.
Standing in the middle of a hallway where holes were riddled in the walls was Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Steam/smoke continued to rise from his clothing as he kept his eyes fixed on the White Fang soldiers. "Are you quite all right, Winter-sama?" Tsuna asked, not taking his gaze off of his opponents. Since they were indeed using Dying Will Flames, he did not want to risk being caught off-guard by a few Mist users.
Hearing her name, Winter blinked and quickly recovered from her thoughts. "Yes, I'm fine." She answered, poking her head out of her cover to see if the enemy was still around. But then it clicked in her head. "Wait, what are you doing here?! I thought I gave you orders to stay with Weiss!" She soon began to shout while standing up harshly.
"Yes, you did." Tsuna answered back as calm as he could, not bothering to hide the fact that he was wincing as the loud sounds entering his ears. He glanced over to Winter with only one eye due to needing to stay focused on the White Fang. "However, Ojou-sama's orders are above yours as it is her who I personally serve."
"Oy, we're still here you know!"
Both humans turned their attention back to the Faunus who surprisingly hadn't even pulled the trigger despite their distracted forms a few seconds ago. But judging how Tsuna had just cooked them with one large burst of flames, maybe they didn't want to risk anything and try to come up with a plan.
This however was an extremely bad call. "Ah, yes, we are both aware of that." Tsuna's eyes still held a polite look but those trained could see a bit of fire. "Winter-sama, would you mind trailing back to Ojou-sama's side? I think it would be much more comforting for her sister to be protecting her rather than her butler."
Winter nearly looked insulted at Tsuna's suggestion. She was a part of the Atlesian military! There was no way she would tuck her tail between her legs and run! She gritted her teeth together and breathed heavily. "I-!"
Before she could even start her sentence, the sound of several clicks entered her ear. Turning her head, she saw almost every single White Fang soldier lift their guns and begin to pull the triggers. Once more, a hail of colored fire rained upon them. With Winter being out in the open like this, she was at least guaranteed to be hit.
At least she would be if Tsunayoshi was not around.
Darkness covered Winter's vision as the warmth of a fire suddenly spread around her body. An arm was wrapped around her shoulder as well as some sort of clothing. The sound of gunfire though continued to be heard through the blinded vision. The female struggled to move, but the arm around her proved to be strong.
Finally, the sound of gun barrels stopped firing and the darkness was unveiled. Blinking, Winter slowly turned her head back and saw Tsuna wearing a giant cape with orange fire lining the edge. It was curious sight however as not a single hole was found riddled in the cape. Not even Tsuna had a scratch on him. In fact, his eyes were narrowed a bit and glowing orange.
"Winter-sama, please go to Ojou-sama's side. I honestly will be able to be much more focused knowing if she were in capable hands." Tsuna requested once more, this time a little gentler than before.
Growling, she knew that Tsunayoshi would be capable of taking care of this group of Faunus. But there were too many for him to take on alone! But still, there was the issue with Weiss. Even though General Ironwood was within sight distance, there was the other fact of numbers breaking into the room they were all hiding in. Out of all of those humans, only Weiss and the General had any actual combat experience and expertise.
Sheathing her weapon, her eyes narrowed while pointing a finger. "Fine, I'll at least have to radio in reinforcements for you. You better stay alive until this aftermath if over for your proper punishment for being out of order!"
Tsuna was mentally crying on the inside. He was just doing his job as a normal butler! Granted normal butlers are not former mafia-boss candidates but still! That was just unfair! "…Of course, Winter-sama." He nearly sighed as Winter ran off. But he soon regained his composure as he stared right back at the current group of White Fang soldiers. "Tell me, where did you get those Dying Will Flames?"
This however only made the White Fang laugh. Their short breaths of humor echoed through the hallways. The butler of the Schnee Dust Company however only remained standing in place. "Oh man, I can't believe you just straight up asked for that! So you are aware of these special flames as well?"
"I've had experiences with them." Tsuna admitted.
"Then you should know how deadly these things are." Another soldier seemed to grin as he presented his gun. But in his other hand was a normal sword that was ignited with yellow fire. "You must also be aware of the mafia then! If you are, then you should know not to mess around with the powerful Vongola!"
Tsuna nearly rolled his eyes at how incompetent these soldiers were. Did they not listen to his introduction? Then again, nobody ever listens to anybody. It's almost like how nobody reads signs. "So you are part of the Vongola family? How interesting." Tsuna stated, fixing his glove once more and having his hand light up with Sky flames. "Last time I remember, they were bringing the family back to their natural roots as vigilantes."
This got a bit of a stiff reaction. Apparently the idea of the mafia was new to Remnant. This probably meant that Earth and Remnant cultures or technology were maybe joining together with the underground world being first. The White Fang must not have expected to know about Dying Will Flames at first, but moving onto Tsuna's knowledge of the mafia and now Vongola made them uneasy.
"It was a lie! We're really from the Fastidioso family!" One of them said quickly, feeling chills down their spine from the sight of Sky flames.
"Shut up! We-we don't have to answer to a disgusting human like you!" Another soldier exclaimed, getting several loud agreements with that statement. Raising their guns once more, all of them began taking steps forward. "There's tons of us and only one of you! What are you going to do about that?!"
Well if they didn't want to do this the easy way, it looks like Tsuna was going to have to do this the mafia way. His eyes were covered by his bangs, but then a small uncharacteristic smirk grew on the brunette's face. "Tsunayoshi, if you may." At least he got answers that they weren't part of the Vongola family.
As Tsuna stepped off to the side it revealed more of the hallway behind him. But at the end however were two doors that were open a bit to reveal a giant, mounted machine gun set up with a tine seat and several levers. Attached to one of its functions was a small rope. With a pull, the cocking sound of the weapon being readied was heard. As the small pole jumped back to its original spot, it dragged alone a small infant sized boy with familiar clothing to Tsuna but only with a red collared shirt.
Landing right on the seat, a manic grin grew on the infants face as he set his sights on the startled group of White Fang soldiers. Grabbing two levers, he flipped up two secret compartments to reveal buttons and pressed them. A couple more barrels popped open and had a case full of missiles prepared at the same time.
"Hey bitches, I hear you love cannons!"

"Ugh, what is that racket?!"
One of the military officers scowled in annoyance as the sound of heavy gunfire was heard even from where all of the occupants of the room were taking shelter in. Who knows how long they all have been sitting in their room for? But there was one thing that was for sure. It was a long time!
Weiss meanwhile could not believe her eyes at the display to everyone but General Ironwood and her father. These were people of the military! Yet look at them, whining like children at the mere sound of gunfire! She almost felt insulted that these people were even in this room, let alone 'proud' members of the Atlesian military and personally accompanying General Ironwood.
The young heiress meanwhile was pacing around the room, thinking up of a small plan. They were all trapped in this room. But what would happen if some Faunus managed to get in? Their only line of defense was the General so far. But all the Faunus had to do was be extremely quick judging by the man's partially-large build. It was pretty obvious that the White Fang was after her and her father.
Speaking of her father, he was clearly out of the question as a person who could defend himself. So it pretty much led down to her and General Ironwood to be there to protect the occupants of the room. But how could she do that? The only way she could hope to enter combat with an enemy soldier right now was through several Dust crystals and vials that were on her person.
And she was just going to start learning unarmed combat after this meeting from Tsunayoshi as well!
Winter then suddenly barged in right through the door. Well, at least there was another bit of security. Now there were three fighters, one of them being ill-equipped. A loud explosion was then heard, but it was from a different part of the mansion.
Judging by the delay, Weiss figured out that it was not some sort of rocket launcher/s. Many were modeled to be able to fire many rockets at once throughout all of Remnant. Grenades were another possibility, but now more explosions came from all over the household.
Wait… all over the household?

Rushing through the gates and through the green lawns of the structure, many White Fang soldiers circled the vast building. Blurs of white and black trapped anybody trying to leave while slaughtering or taking many hostages among the vast amount of servants.
But the main focus was those outside of the building. Running across the green grass, one happened to be unlucky. Just as their foot hit the ground, there was a small click. Blinking, the soldier looked down to the ground and took a couple of seconds to think. "…Huh…" They breathed with interest. "Landmine…" They then nodded their heads. A couple more seconds passed when it finally clicked in their heads.
"Wait… landmines!"
A small pillar of orange fire exploded from under their feet, completely covering their body in flames. It only took a second later for the explosions to continue to be set off and causing the White Fang to panic.
"Landmines?!"
"Landmines!"
"Landmines!"
"Landmines!?"
"Landmines!"
"Holy shit, they planted landmines!"
"Who planted landmines?!"
KBT
In several parts of the household, six infants with different colored collared shirts were standing among unconscious bodies. Sadly, some of these bodies were corpses with the mixture of human and Faunus soldiers. The infant with the orange shirt closed his eyes and took a deep breath and was walking forward when he received a call from his scroll.
Beginning to walk to a certain destination, he brought out the device and held it to his ears. "Yes, Ojou-sama?" He asked.
"YOU PLANTED LANDMINES?! YOU FORCED ME TO DO BASIC EXERCISES WITH THOSE DEATH TRAPS SCATTERED AROUND MY FEET?! TSUNAYOSHI WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"
Tsuna could have sworn that his right ear was now deaf as he now had to bring the scroll to his left ear. "Ojou-sama, I can perfectly expla-… Ojou-sama?" Hearing the buzz of the speaker, he looked to the screen of the device and saw it display 'Call Ended'. Not even resisting the urge to sigh, he pocketed the scroll and made his way up the stairs.
By the time he made it up to the second floor, he managed to meet up with several more infants with similar looks but different colored shirts. "This is certainly a bit mess, is it not?" The orange-shirt asked.
"Bit of a mess is a light term." Purple-shirt grunted, brushing off his suit.
"Yeah, especially since you planted those landmines~." Indigo-shirt commented.
"I think the term is we, Tsuna. After all, we are all the same person." Blue shirt stated.
"Agreed!" Yellow-shirted exclaimed.
"Actually, this makes me wonder something…" The Tsuna in the red shirt had finally finished his trigger happy fest and walked up with the rest of them. "Aren't you one of the people that helps tend to the lawn and garden?"
A brief period of silence entered the conversation as this information began to sink in. But then the one in the green shirt immediately burst soon enough. "I don't want to do it!" He wailed.
"Well, it is our fault. It is also our responsibility to clean up this mansion as well due to our status." The orange shirt sighed. But his downward gaze turned back up and narrowed his eyes. Every other Tsuna seemed to react the same was as they all glowed and Tsuna was back to his normal size. "May I know who is there?"
Looking behind him, another person with a Grimm mask slowly took steps towards him. Judging by how this person was not wearing normal White Fang uniforms, she was probably one of the higher people. "Nobody you need to know about. Just allow me to pass through to the upper levels." She stated.
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that." Tsuna answered, giving his full attention to the female.
The Faunus slowly brought her hand up to a handle that was strapped to her back. "I was really hoping that it wouldn't come down to this." With extremely quick speeds, the Faunus dashed forward and managed to slash Tsuna several times before landing behind him.
"I can tell."
Sharply taking in a deep breath, she whipped her head around and saw that the boy was indeed harmed, but was still standing. Some sort of thin metal was attached and spreading across his entire body like an exoskeleton. With his gloves also ripped to shreds, it revealed more metal. But the back was the most interesting due to how that seemed to be where everything was connected with one giant plate of metal stuck on.
"You hesitated with that attack, purposely missing my vitals despite my proof of containing Aura." Tsuna continued as he flexed his fingers. The metal slowly began to take the color of orange as well. Flames burst to life. But the most curious thing about it was that they were condensing and shaping themselves. Eventually, it took on the shape of a katana.
Gripping the weapon in his hands, Tsuna's eyes flashed orange once more. This sight made the Faunus flinch and take several steps backwards. She shook like a leaf in a storm at the mere presence that rolled off of this boy. He felt so innocent at first, like a doe. But now it was like a proud and vicious lion.
"Don't worry, this won't be long."

Hearing the sounds coming from the ventilation above, the military sighed with relief.
But those trained in combat had a bad feeling about that sound. Weiss in particular due to there being a lack of several footsteps at once from above. Soon enough, a sneaky White Fang soldier fell from the ceiling and easily flipped himself off of the table.
Muttering to herself that Tsunayoshi was going to get a serious punishment for allowing this Faunus to pass through his guard, she immediately got herself ready as the Faunus had immediately went for her. General Ironwood and Winter both were ready to use their weapons, but they didn't want to risk hurting Weiss in the process.
Throwing a fist out to try and punch the Faunus, her opponent easily caught the fist a snickered at how weak she was. With her other fist thrown, the Faunus did the same thing only to hiss in pain.
Apparently, Weiss had hidden the sharp point of a Dust crystal within her hand and used it as a hidden weapon. Already annoyed, the White Fang member kneed Weiss right in the stomach and kicked the heiress to the ground.
She soon felt her hair tugged harshly at the top of her head. Her throat felt an arm choke her tightly while the cool metal of the barrel of a gun touched the tip of her head. Managing to even pull this off made the Faunus grin a bit with victory. "You all wouldn't want your cute little mistress to have breathing holes in her head, would you?"
The very taunt itself made General Ironwood and Winter both grit their teeth at how arrogant all of them were. The Faunus irritated them, but still had to be congratulated catching them all off-guard.
The creak of a door suddenly interrupted them though and ruined the tense mood. "Please pardon the intrusion." Tsuna stepped through the doors and bowed. Looking back up though, his big eyes grew even wider at the predicament Weiss was in.
Weiss surprised feeling at how the Faunus managed to sneak into the room and take her hostage immediately went away. It was sadly replaced by disgust. Not by how she was being held by a Faunus, but by how her butler looked. "Ugh, what a mess." The youngest heiress scowled. "Your clothes are completely ruined."
"It's because I took the time to be a counselor for a couple of minutes." Tsuna sighed, shocking all of the military people but Winter with the reveal of the exoskeleton on her body.
The butler soon began to take steps forward, but then it reminded them all that Weiss was a hostage. "Shut up! All of you! Stop right where you are! If- if you come any closer, I'll blow her head clean off! Even though there's Aura, I'm sure that a couple of these Dust rounds and my Flames will break through her flesh cleanly!"
This statement caused even more tension to spread through the entire crowd of people. What should they do? Whatever they thought about, each plan would risk Weiss dying immediately. There was no way that they would even lift a finger without even-
"Gao."
Everyone heard that sound… What kind of sound was that? Where did it even come from? Each head slowly craned towards the youngest heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. There she still sat, hair being pulled up with an arm choking her and a gun pointed to her head. Yet why did she have such a calm look on her face?
Weiss meanwhile kept her eyes trained on Tsunayoshi. "Gao." She repeated herself, imitating a young lion cub with a straight face.
Everyone, even the Faunus, was confused. Everyone except Tsunayoshi that is. That only caused the boy to smile with his eyes closed for nearly a second.
"Of course, Ojou-sama." He answered as an orange flame lit on his forehead.
No flames please!
