"This is just amazing!" Weiss shouted. Quite happily. Rion was actually beginning to suspect something was wrong with her. However, a festival does sound nice.

"I've never been to one of these Human festivals before." Rion looked at them. "Could be fun." He smiled behind his mask.

"Well, it is the Vytal Festival." Yang smiled as she put a hand on her hip. As this was said, a banner was being hung up with 'Welcome to the Vytal Festival!' written in big letters.

"I've never seen you this happy about something Weiss." Ruby smiled, but raised an eyebrow in confusion right after. "It's actually creeping me out."

"The amount of organization put into the festival is marvelous!" Weiss shouted happily. Her teammates behind her lost their smiles.

"You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound extremely boring." Yang sighed.

"Quiet you!"

As the team walked through the city, they came across a trashed Dust shop. "So, you thinking the White Fang?" A police officer asked another. "I'm thinking we don't get payed enough." He replied.

Rion scanned the broken glass for any DNA. Perhaps one of the robbers cut himself. Sadly, no such luck. He soon looked up and saw a heat signature. It was rapid, but it was there. Almost as if it was... "Cloaked." Rion said aloud. RWBY all turned and looked at him.

"What are you talking about?" Weiss looked at him, and where he was facing. The cloaked figure turned to Rion and flashed its eyes yellow. Weiss saw this and stepped back slightly. "W-what was THAT?!" She shouted.

"A challenge!" Rion growled as he activated his cloak and lept to one of the adjacent buildings, climbing to the rooftops.

"Wait! Where are you going?!" Ruby shouted after Rion.

"Well, he said a challenge. So, he must be eager to face him. Whoever he is." Blake sighed.

On the rooftops of the City of Vale...

Rion stood on the same rooftop as the cloaked hunter, staying a distance before uncloaking. "Show yourself." Rion clicked. At this, the hunter turned and uncloaked.

Yes, he was a hunter like Rion. However, while he was dressed somewhat the same with the small skulls, the cloth and bits of metal, this Predator, had red dreadlocks and a black mask. Rion had heard about these particular hunters. They call themselves a clan of 'Super Predators'. To the more honorable clans however, they were known as 'Bad Bloods'. Rogue hunters, if seen should be killed on sight.

The Bad Blood roared in challenge. Rion roared back before the two charged at eachother. The two hunters clashed into eachother. Rion attacked by punching the Bad Blood in the stomach area. The Bad Blood responded by punching Rion across his mask and then slapping him with the back of his hand, sending him flying across the roof. Rion landed near the edge. He shook his head, getting his senses back before standing back up.

The two Predators circled eachother. The Bad Blood roaring at Rion, trying to scare him. Rion charged forward and put his shoulder into the Bad Blood's chest, sending them both flying off the rooftop and crashing into another building. Right in front of team RWBY's view.

"Um... was it just me, or did Rion just tackle another guy into a place?" Yang asked.

"Quick! We have to observe him!" Weiss declared as they ran to the now destroyed building.

The Bad Blood lifted the rubble off him as he stood up. Rion however, stood up slowly some of the rubble had hit him on his back when they crashed. The Bad Blood walked over and delivered a poweful kick, sending him out of the building and onto the streets.

Rion breathed out as he got back up. "Rion! What's going on?!" Ruby asked. As she said this, the Bad Blood jumped down and roared.

"What the hell is that?!" Yang shouted.

The Bad Blood clenched his fist as two long wristblades activated and he raised his arm. Rion activated his own wristblades before the Bad Blood's were stopped by a red scythe. The Bad Blood slowly looked to the disturbance. This was to be his undoing. Rion stood up and stabbed the Bad Blood with his wristblades. The Bad Blood roared in pain before dropping to his knees, looking at his blood.

Rion walked behind him, sheathing his wristblades before grabbing the sides of the Bad Blood's head. "Cetanu take you." He clicked before twisting the head violently, snapping the Bad Blood's neck. He watched as the Bad Blood fell to the ground, dead. All of team RWBY looked at him, fearful.

To them, Rion had just killed someone in cold blood. Ruby backed up a couple of steps. "Ruby. Wait! You don't understand!" He tried to say as she ran. Yang and Weiss gave him a cold glare before leaving to catch up to Ruby. Blake, gave a sorrowful look before running to catch up. Rion looked to the ground and gave a saddened growl.

"Stop right there!" A voice yelled at him. Rion perked up and turned to look. Three police cars had their lights flashing and multiple police officers aimed their weapons at him. Rion looked at them and up at a building behind him. He quickly activated his cloak and jumped up on one of the police cars, and jumped higher up to the building before making a run for it.

An hour passed...

"I KNEW something was up with him!" Weiss shouted.

"Guys, maybe we're missing something." Blake suggested.

Yang and Weiss looked in disbelief. "Did you see how he killed that guy?!" Yang nearly shouted as well.

"We have no idea if Rion attacked first! What if that guy threw the first punch?!" Blake shouted back.

Ruby however, was thinking something through, now that she got her mind straight. "Wait. Come to think of it. That guy was dressed quite like Rion wasn't he?" She asked.

The three other girls went silent.

At the same time, on a rooftop overlooking the city of Vale...

Rion was kneeling on the edge of the rooftop as he sighed and took off his mask. He really messed up this time. Not only had he killed a humanoid right in front of team RWBY. But he also broke one of the codes of honor. He had risked the exposure of the Yautja to the people of Remnant. When the Clan Elder finds out about this, disgrace and exile were all Rion could expect.

As Rion removed his mask, he noticed drops falling from his face and hitting the ground. He reached up and felt his face. He was... crying. For the first time in years. He was interrupted by his thoughts by a sound behind him. The girl from before, Neo, had shown up and was striding her way over, that familiar condiscending smirk on her face. Rion turned and dropped his mask on the ground, keeping his guard up.

Surprisingly though, Neo had no intention of harm against him. So what are her intentions?

"What do you want?" Rion asked.

She didn't answer, but he watched and remained wary as she walked closer to him...
