Glades wipes away the tears from her eyes and goes outside of the dorm, today is combat overview which means that the students will have to fight on stage to test their skills and abilities. So far the leader board is Cardin on fourth place, Ener on third, Jaune on the second and Ruby on first. If they keep up their progress, they'll be chosen to represent Beacon in the tournaments along with their teams. There is also a point system too, Norris scored over seven-thousand, Ryka has six-thousand and Glades has eight-thousand. Similar to the leaders, the team members will join him/her if they have a high score. If not, the leader will be assigned to an all-leader team consisting of the four people on the leader board.
The stakes are more higher because instead of fighting two or one student: Its three versus one. Glades then spots Ener and his mother on the side of the stage, they appear to be talking to each other about something.
"Mom, please I could do this!" Ener begged.
"Look son, you'll be facing the toughest students on the leader board." Glynda explains.
"Toughest? Is Jaune, Cardin and Ren. What's so tough about them? One is easy, the second is medium while final is hard." Glynda sighs at her sons comment.
Years ago in East point (BTW, he's 7 years old at this time)
Glynda runs across the streets leading to mocking jay academy as it burns in the distance by the once peaceful organization known as the white-fang. Glynda didn't believe that they would do this but after witnessing the riots and the public executions of children of hunters. The reason of targeting the children is because they saw them as symbols of oppression along with the rest of the hunters.
She continues running pass by a crowd of Faunus rioters who have just broken through the police barricade. The huntress ignores them and continues running pass by, they begin to pursue her. She looks up to another roof top to see Adam retreating from them, the organization saw him as a traitor. A member pounces towards him but slices him in half then looks down to see Glynda.
"Where are you going?! Run!" Glynda casts a barrier glyph to block out the rioters.
"I can't! My son is still in the school!" Adam gasps and nods to Glynda, he activates his communicator to see if there are any available hunters in the area. A call interrupts the process and its from Cinder.
"Adam, we need you at the barrier with Glynda!" She ordered.
Adam nods at Cinder's command.
"Roger but Glynda isn't coming." He replied.
"What?! Why?!"
"Ener's still at the school and she needs to find him." Cinder gasps.
"Glynda, you better find him quick because the whole city is burning." Adam warned, Glynda nods at his warning. The Faunus hunter leaps towards another rooftop leading to the evacuation zone. The city around her is going to hell but she didn't care, as long as he son is safe. She hated to admit it but Glynda hated him when she first took him in under her wing because she kind of hated children but as the years went by, she grew an attachment to him. At first he annoyed her but she realized that Ener's just a child who just needs love and Glynda never gave him it, she cared about him of course but never loved him.
Maybe that's the reason why he's always silent when he's with me...
She finally reaches the school and casts a water glyph, the glyph washes the school. Glynda breaks down the door and searches the area for him, she rumages through the ash-covered books causing her clothes to become dirty. A a piece of wood falls on her but she dodges, the wood hits her arm instead. Glynda slowly limps through the halls still looking for the boy. She hears a scream in the halls.
"Get off me!"
She sprints towards the sound but falls on another pile of debris, Glynda furiously limps towards the source of the sound. She looks over a balcony to see Ener and Blake being picked on by a white fang member, she always knew that Blake is a member of the organization and always saw her in the front of every protest.
"Please, he's my friend! I'll...I'll execute him myself." The white fang soldier nods to Blake and gives her gambol shroud, Ener slowly backs up against the wall as she points the blade against his throat.
"I'm giving her more time." Blake warned, right before the white fang soldier came, she slightly turned her back to see Glynda. She quickly jumps off the balcony and casts a burst glyph. The glyph forms and fires a surge of energy at the white fang soldier, Glynda almost falls to the ground.
"Mom!" Ener cried, he tries to help her out but she moves away from him.
"I'm alright..." The three leave the area but the riot catches up to her, Glynda casts a shield barrier to cover them but it isn't enough. The shield breaks and the crowd continues throwing objects at them, a rioter throws a brick at Ener but it misses him.
"Brothers of the white fang, please stop this madness! Your hurting a mother and child-" A rioter pushes Blake away then proceeds to attack Glynda and Ener, she casts another shield.
"Ener, remember that song I always sang to you when your sad?" He nods to her.
"Cover your eyes and ears...and sing it please." Ener closes his eyes and covers his ears, Glynda opens the barrier and casts a wave of purple streaks.
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a breaking from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't like to get away
Where everybody knows your name...
Someone taps on his shoulder and opens his eyes to see Blake doing the same thing he's doing, in front of him is Cinder. Ozpin taps Blake causing her to open her eyes too.
"Its alright kid, your in good hands." Cinder assured.
"Where...Where is my mom?" Roman enters the scene.
"She's alight, just got some minor injuries but she's fine." He gets out of the room to discover that he was in a medical tent.
"How did we get here?" Cinder walks from behind him.
"I levitated you and your friend here." The fire huntress explained.
Glynda looks down at the her son and still knew that he's still the child who she saved from the white-fang. The woman knew that he was trained but what if he messes up and looses again? What if he never fought a human before? Is he ready for this? She looks at him again then back to the people fighting he's going to fight. She shuts her eyes tight and looks back at him.
"Okay." Ener enters the stage with the crowd clapping towards him, Cardin readies his mace while Jaune draws his sword and Ren loads his storm flower SMG's. Cardin aims his mace at the blonde with Jaune and Ren coming from behind him.
"Alright guys, here's the plan..." Jaune runs towards him but Ener gets out of the way and trips him with the blade. The boy turns around to swing his sward towards him Ener tilts his weapons blade and blocks it, he trips Jaune again then whacks him in the face with the swords handle, sending him flying towards Cardin and Ren.
"Annnnd get yourself hurt. Alright Ren, its only you and me-" Ren runs towards him and raises his weapons claws, Ener kicks him while he is running then punches him in the face and ends up like Jaune.
"What the matter? Am I the only one that talks?" Cardin whined.
"I don't think talking is your problem." Ener kicks Cardin in the stomach and dodges Ren and Jaune as they try to get the jump on him. He moves out of the way as they swing a few hits on him. Jaune swings his sword causing the Ener to flinch and Ren jump kicks him in the face, he is sent spinning because of the impact but regains focus and lands. Ener then combines his two weapons, He switches violence into its pistol form then places ultra on it. Another blade sticks out of the side and the two combine into its claymore sword form.
Ener jumps towards them but he misses Ren as he swings his weapon to the left, Ren moves to the right and Ener tries to uppercut him but misses again. The blond boy then swings the large sword into the left but Ren ducks down, Ener kicks Ren. Ren fires his weapon but Ener uppercuts the bullets with the weapon, the boy fires his weapon again but Ener dashes and dodges the shots while deflecting them. Ener leaps in the air with the large sword stabs it on the ground behind Ren as he lands. Ener then grabs Ren by the foot as Jaune runs towards him, the blonde swings Ren towards Jaune causing the two to be sent flying. Cardin gets up while still dazed but Ener simply pushes him away with only a poke and a-
"Boop." The boy falls on the ground while Ren gets up and stutters then falls on the ground as he tries to fight him.
"I guess I was wrong then..." Glynda said while she see's her son walking away.
The mysterious boy puts down his telescope and gets on a radio, on his back is the white fang symbol.
"Mission is a go."
Glades comes up to the stage, she is facing Blake and Nora. Over the weeks she got along with Nora and admired her weapon of choice, Blake is a person of mystery of course. Glades then shifts her weapon into its staff/halberd form as she enters the stage, she is the heavy hitter of her team and is pretty difficult to beat at the same time. Nora runs towards her and makes a swipe from the left, Glades jumps over the hammer and back flips behind her. The tall girl then throws a blow at Nora, Blake runs towards her and makes a quick swipe but Glades catches with her arm, the Faunus then throws another swipe but Glades blocks it again and grabs Blake by the throat. A sniper shot is heard and she drops Blake.
In the crowd is a group of people wearing high tech gear and they appear to be women, the first is wearing a skin tight leather suit and has some kind of helmet on her head with tentacle-like appendages. The tentacle stretches out to the other students and flings them while another destroys the ceiling to reveal a woman wearing a set of large mechanical wings with a jet pack on them, on her legs is crow-like landing gear and is wielding a MGL-140 grenade launcher. Another breaks down the door and wears a wolf-like mech suit, she appears to sound like she is crying and howling but is unknown if its human or not because of the faceplate that only has one singular optic. The next gets down from a rappelling line from the ceiling breach, he is wearing goggles with black lenses and a mouth mask, the tentacle woman gives him an AAC honey badger with a ACOG sight on it.
"Find the boy." He ordered, Glades notices his accent but shakes her head. The girl jumps off the stage then fires at the masked boy, he avoids the shots and holsters. Glades swings her weapon at him but he ducks down and pulls out his knife. Glades tilts her weapon from side to side as the soldier swings his knife, she
swings forward the side of the weapon causing the soldier to deflect the swings with his knife. She then swings her weapon at him but he throws his knife in the air and ducks, he grabs the knife and swings at her face but she dodges it. The boy aims his honey badger at her and fires at Glades, she dodges the shots and swings her weapon in its halberd form. The weapon smacks the soldiers mask away to reveal that he has blue eyes like Glades and at the same time...Has his face.
"Kiril? Kiril Glasnost?" She gasps, the soldier growls in response.
"Who's Kiril?" He replied. The women attack her next causing Glades to retreat, the octopus woman cloaks herself as Glades continue to fall back. The tentacles grab Glades by the leg and throws her to the side but the tall girl lands and runs on the wall while she fires her wrist machine gun while maniacally, Norris throws a turret at the group but the wolf-like mech girl quickly trashes it by lunging towards the firing machine without ease. The mech-wolf girl howls in sorrow as she uses her tail to grab the technician but he dodges it and fires at her, she dashes towards her as the rounds deflect from her armor and rams Norris in the stomach. Velvet casts another shield around him and he retreats too.
"RAGE! SHOW ME YOUR RAGE!" Blared the screaming raven-girl as she fires her grenade launcher at Ryka who slices them apart as she leaps towards them, the raven girl grabs her by the throat while flying and throws her into the wall.
"LAUGH WITH ME!" The octopus screamed while laughing and grabbing objects to look for Ener, he comes out underneath the stage with Blake and the two slasher in the head where the tentacles are. She laughs again at the boy and Blake at the same time causing the pair to raises their eyebrows.
"I'M QUITE SURE THE WHITE FANG WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU BACK! AND WE COULD USE A NEW MEMBER AT THE SAME TIME!" She laughed. The girl commands her tentacles to stretch towards them, Ener dodges the large appendages by jumping over them while another heads towards the boy but he ends up surfing on it and raises ultra and violence towards her. The raven girl flies towards Ener and grabs him by the collar with Blake still fighting the octopus girl, she flips over to the side as the tentacles slide towards her from the right while firing gambol shroud in its gun form.
Blake quickly dashes towards her and slashes from the left then the right as she moves and makes shadow decoys at the same time. She then switches her weapon to its swords mode, Blake makes a swipe at her but the assassin blocks it with her tentacles making Blake to an uppercut at with the same results. The octopus girl grabs her by the throat and continues to crush it. She drops her once team RWBY regroups from the confusion and begin firing at the assassins.
The raven girl meanwhile picks up Ryka and looks into her eyes.
"Shark...You traitor..." She hissed.
Flashback
Ryka is hit by a prod as she its forced to walk along the line of children that were abducted by the white fang for unknown purposes, she placed in line with a dark haired girl and a grey-silver haired one along with a brown haired girl. She looks around the place to hear children crying out to their mothers and fathers while some are heard being lobotomized or experimented on. Ryka is forced to go with the girls to a some kind of...Killing floor that contained rats, the soldiers give them knives.
"What your name?" She asks the silver haired one.
"N-name?" The silver-haired one turns around to her.
"Yeah, you have a name right?" The girl begins to laugh at Ryka's question and ignores her and stabs one of the rats with a knife.
"WHAT ARE NAMES?! SOME TYPE OF TOILET?! HAHAHA!" Ryka back away from her as she continues to stab the rats without mercy, she bumps into the dark haired girl and turns around.
"What do you think your doing?" She angrily asks.
"I'm just asking who you are..." The dark haired one stops stabbing the rats.
"Her names is Octus, the other is Lupo and my name is Karasu. Now buzz off..." Karasu turns away and continues to stab the rats angrily, Ryka places her hand on her shoulder.
"I SAID BUZZ OFF!" She tries to swipe Ryka with the knife.
"I-I just wanted to make some friends before my Mommy could save me..." Lupo stops and turns around her, tear marks are seen on her face but her long hair is covering it.
"Save you? Don't you understand?" Ryka turns to Lupo.
"What?" Ryka asks.
"They've abandoned you..." The girl cries again and turns to stabbing the rats.
"Kara?" Ryka asks as the girl from her past returns in an unrecognizable form with many other of her old friends from the past, Karasu removes her helmet and looks at her with a face of pure anger. The memories of the facility came back to Ryka's head, the memories of the madness and insanity from there causing her to become insane. She could barely remember the names they gave her...Prowling shark, a name that she could use to become their assassins. The white-fang took many things from her but the greatest sin of all is taking persons name and identity then warping it into something else more unrecognizable. The girl could barely remember her last name...Something that may have been Fall.
"Ryka..." She growls but it turns into a whimper then tears of joy as she embraces her.
"Please come back! You don't belong to Beacon!" She begged.
"Kara please! Beacon is the only place where I'm free!" Ryka replied to Karasu.
"No! No! Ryka, the white-fang are good people and they'll forgive you once you come back..." She lets go of her embrace.
"Kara...I can't..." Ryka turns around.
"Why?" Karasu sorrowfully asks.
"Because the white-fang are liars and murders, they give the Faunus a bad name and use those...Stuff you have to kill innocents! I'm telling you to quit! You guys could be a team that can't be used as weapons..." Ryka reaches her hand out to Karasu but she slaps it off.
"Kara, I know your scared by them but they won't hurt you once your in Beacon...You just need to take one step at a time." Karasu then shakes her head in disagreement, if one of their own disobeys orders the white-fang will do...horrid things to her. They often beat her or tortured her but the most common of all was when they violated her but she managed to block out the pain by her anger and became a raging raven by then.
"I trusted you..." She hissed as her mask flips on again and her wings rise from her back. The hunters infiltrate the stage and fire at the strike team, a bullhead jet lands in above the hole. Each of the team then hop on the latter and the jet flies off.
Team ENRG look over at the retreating bullhead jet as it moves to the North, Norris checks his HUD to see where its heading.
"Its heading too...The coastal plains." Ryka pulls out her dual shotgun/kukri knives and walks to the docking station.
"Where are you going?" Ener asks.
"Ener...There's a lot of things you don't know about me but those were my friends who you attacked by. Friends that I abandoned long time ago then suddenly came back to attack this school." The group looks at each other in worry.
"I'm going after the white fang."
