Chapter 9: the Turnabout Terror
(Note: I do not own RWBY, all rights to RWBY go to Rooster Teeth in honor of its creator, Monty Oum)
After the fall of Beacon I had been on a bit of a... personal mission of my own, one that leads to my reasons for taking summer missions. It would also appear that during the summer attending students are allowed to take solo mission so I would solo bounty mission to hunt down various gangs and criminals across Sanus, why bounty missions? You'll see in a moment. During the summer I had also been getting a bit of a... reputation among the criminal world, remember Qrow knowing of my title 'the Turnabout Terror,' yeah well that info got out to the students of the other 3 Academy's during the festival at such my reputation as the Turnabout Terror only continued in Shade but that named has become a fearsome name in the criminal world, and now it's time for my most recently accepted mission. I stand on top of a hill not too far from a group of White Fang members terrorizing 2 innocent human travelers in the grass field just outside of Forever Fall, and the ringleader of this small batch was... him! Adam Taurus. Since the White Fang were at the fall of Beacon and Blake confirmed that Adam was there then he has to have information on what I'm looking for. I walk down the hill and towards the Faunus while their not looking and kick one in the back causing him to stumble and grab one other person and they both fall. When they all notice me a simple Faunus with boar tusk in his face decides to introduce me before I can even speak.
Faunus: "The... the Turnabout Terror! It's Aidan! The student Huntsmen!" Now because of the fact we were changing schools I decided to change my outfit entirely. I still had my long hair and kept letting it loose but I no longer whore that armored green ninja suit, but rather I whore simple sweatpants and a dark green trench coat like Devil May Cry's Dante but like Sun I never whore a shirt underneath, I just let my chest and six pack stay bare.
Adam: "What?" I then draw my Twin Blades and bring down a few single gun users before swinging at Adam who just blocked my swings with his sword half way out of the sheath.
Aidan: "Sword Dance! Gale Blade!" That last strike kept our weapons connected for a few seconds before that Faunus that introduced me and a muscular Faunus with a giant chainsaw dropped down and I jumped back to dodge and now I'm surrounded by a circle of Faunus by I switched to my Scythe for a full circle swing that took them out, then there was ring of them in the air that jumped and coming down but I used an aerial Arte to take them out. "Lotus Flower!" I jumped in the air to where I was in the very center of the ring and swung my Scythe to where it hit them all and once I landed I wasn't expecting that Faunus that introduced me to come from behind and disarmed me of my Scythe and he was certainly excited but he wasn't expecting me to break out my Dual Guns, put them about 5 inches from his face, and hit him with a double charged shot. "Jackpot!" I shoot and it launched him a far distance, he's gonna feel that in the morning. Then that muscular Faunus came up and dropped down his chainsaw, I dodged out of the way and he did it again and after I dodged this time I drew out my own chainsaw, or more accurately a Broadsword with a chainsaw mechanism, I rose it upward to block him from slamming it down again and I activated the saw, both of our saws were going but his was only scratching the paint where mine eventually cut it clean in half and that knocked him to the ground and I slammed my Broadsword on him, saw still going, luckily his Aura was still pretty high to keep him alive but he will be out cold for awhile.
Adam: *sigh* "Why must these idiots always lose to a bunch of kids? Oh well, if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself!" He runs towards me drawing his sword for a slash, I dodge then swing close to the ground but he jumped over it and then I brought my Broadsword in front of me to block his sword, his sword is made of highly concentrated fire Dust so it's almost indestructible so my saw wasn't breaking it unlike the big guys saw but eventually break the hold we had and swing my Broadsword upward to launch him back and he landed on all fours and dropping his sword and sheath behind him, I start walking towards him but he starts using that silver tongue of his. "I'm surprised, I didn't think you'd be that strong. I guess this means the rumors of you killing 100 Grimm at once by yourself wasn't a lie after all." I could tell he was trying to stroke my ego and let my guard down but I wasn't falling for that, instead I just gave a frightening glare. "How now, don't look at me like that. How about you just take it easy..." He was trying to hide it but I could see he was reaching for his sword behind him. "Calm down and... DIE!" He tried swinging his sword upward but I was quick enough to do the with my Broadsword and hit him first which launched him upward and then he landed hard a short distance away from me and his sword stuck in the ground, I then broke out my Scythe and stuck it in the ground in front of him as a threat to scare him and keep him from moving while he was on all fours, all I needed was information on a single person that I know he is in cahoots with.
Aidan: "Do you know Cinder Fall?" That's who I'm hunting down.
Adam: "What did you say?"
Aidan: "She's a powerful fighter who fights with glass and fire Dust in her clothing, I know for a fact that she was the one who led the attack on Beacon. And since the White Fang was there and that there was full confirmation that you were there too, you have to be taking orders from her."
Adam: "You would be right about that but I haven't seen her since the fall of Beacon started. I do know that she fought someone at the top of the tower as there was a bunch of fire coming from the top, but hat white flash turned that giant Grimm to stone, how are so sure that she didn't turn to stone or even die from that flash."
Aidan: "Because the news showed that witness testimony said they saw a girl in a red dress and black hair but her left arm was missing and her lefts eye was a bloody mess, but regardless they saw this woman leave the Beacon courtyard alive. Those injuries that they said she had are most likely her only wounds from that flash, and that means she is still out there causing more trouble."
Adam: "Huh!? Oh come on now." He pushed my Scythe aside and stood up to speak face to face. "Don't tell me you actually believe some vague testimony like that. Like those type are ever reliable. So... you think you can go up against me, high ranking White Fang member Adam Taurus, and just walk away like nothing happene-" as he was talking I pulled my Dual Guns and point them at him.
Aidan: "How about we don't forget who still has their weapon in hand." I lower then and tell him to come on but he then grabs his sword and sheath and transforms the sheath into a rifle, shoots at me, I block with my bionic arm which leaves a smoke cloud in my face and as soon as it clears up he's gone but he left all his comrades here unconscious so I call the Vacuo police force to come and grab them. The airship arrives and they grab the unconscious bodies, that's when a leave and use my new bike to get back to Vacuo myself. Upon arriving I head back to my teams dorm room that the Headmaster had already assigned to us for us to stay before the next semester starts. Chris and Makayla had the same outfits as back at Beacon but Tyler made one change to his usual look: his hoody, it's still short sleeved but now it's red with the Vacuo symbol on it.
Chris: "Any luck?"
Aidan: "All I got was that the Adam Taurus was indeed taking orders from Cinder thus she had control over the White Fang but Adam believes that Cinder may or may not have died from that white flash and he is denying the possibility that she is alive from the witness testimony on the news, saying that it was vague and that those type were unreliable."
Makayla: "Speaking of Adam, where is he anyway?"
Aidan: *sigh* "Unfortunately, he got away after he answered my questions, and he left his lackeys behind so their all the police got."
Tyler: "Darn. I thought you would've gotten him this time. He definitely gave everyone the slip back at Vale."
Makayla: "It may not be long before he leaves Sanus entirely. I took a research mission last month and found that the White Fangs main headquarters near the Kingdom of Mistral which is all the way in the continent of Anima across the sea. It may not be long before he actually goes to Mistral to report in to his High Leader: Sienna Khan."
Chris: "And if he really is in cahoots with Cinder and Mistral is so close to White Fang headquarters, Haven Academy is most likely their next target due to the fact that Cinder and her team CMSN claimed to be from Haven in the first place."
Tyler: "But Haven's Headmaster is smarter than that to let corrupt people fool him into thinking their his students like that. The Headmaster is the only way they could've gotten into the tournament because they have to enlisted as official students of that Academy. So my question is: how did they fool him so easily?"
Aidan: "Well Ozpin and Ironwood didn't seem to notice their suspiciousness at all either, and now he's dead because of that. The local Huntsmen trying to clear out the Grimm in the school found Ozpin's body in the basement and they confirmed it to be Ozpin through forensics and made his death public knowledge on the news as well as that testimony on Cinder."
Makayla: "Then why don't we tell Shade's Headmaster that we wish to move to Haven instead?"
Chris: "Are you forgetting that are parents made us all promise to only go to Beacon or Shade because their both in the continent of Sanus? Our parents want to make sure they can get too us for visits or emergency's as quickly as possible."
Makayla: "Great!"
Aidan: "He's right though. It's not like their gonna let us go to Haven or Atlas now matter how much we try to convince them. Especially since they aren't particularly fond of using tons of money on traveling to other continents, It terms of large sums of money their just fine with using it on our schoolings." Seems like Makayla is the only one with thoughts on leaving the continent.
Tyler: "So what now?" Good question but theirs not exactly much we can do given the circumstances.
Aidan: "I think we should just drop it for now. I wonder how the members of teams RWBY and JNPR are doing right now?" Just then we got a letter through our door.
Tyler: "It's from someone named Taiyang... from the island of Patch?"
Makayla: "Isn't that where Yang said she and Ruby grew up?"
Aidan: "Yeah. What does the letter say?"
Tyler: "Let's see... 'Dear Team ATMC... my name is Taiyang Xiao Long, I am Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose's father. I heard from the girls that you guys were four of their best friends. Yang has been rather down lately so I thought you would like to come down to Patch for dinner tomorrow to help her out, that should give you enough time to get here. See you then... Taiyang.' A dinner invitation huh?"
Chris: "Well... it'd be rude not to accept and it would be nice to see Ruby and Yang again. I doubt we'll be seeing Weiss and Blake anytime soon."
Aidan: "I guess we should get a ship request ready." Well... at least we'll something good out of this summer.
