A/N: I know you guys said you wanted to see the Guardians soon, but I found someone a lot more fitting to throw into the mix, this being Mystral of course. The most crime ridden kingdoms in all of Remnant. So, here I present to you, the first appearance of the most badass anti hero to ever appear in the MCU!

As the four walked through Mystral, WBY couldn't help but notice that their leader made sure to wear her helmet. It was as if she was anticipating some sort of attack from Cinder of her associates. However, they just wrote it off as her taking the necessary precautions in case of attack. The death of Pyrrha had affected Ruby greatly, as the girl believed it was her fault she was shot by the arrow, and because of that, Pyrrha faced Cinder without help.

"Stop! Thief!" RWBY watched as a young man bolted in front of them, a local shopkeep not too far behind. Ruby stepped forward to intervene, but before she could, a loud gunshot rang out and the young man dropped.

Ruby's head snapped to the shooter. He was a tall, muscular man with a buzz cut and a five o'clock shadow. His face had a few cuts and bruises on it and his nose had obviously been broken on several occasions, maybe recently. He wore a long, black leather trench coat atop a ballistic vest with a white skull painted on the front. In his hands was a large rifle, but it wasn't pointed at anything. Even as he stared at Ruby, he didn't look remorseful about what he had done. He didn't look scared, he just looked pissed. Ruby could see it in his eyes that he was a man who truly had nothing left to lose.

She quickly raised her repulsor at him.

"Frank Castle, stand down!" She demanded. She had seen his files, all the horrible things he'd done, the people he'd killed. He was a wanted man, a vigilante. An anti hero. As soon as she raised her weapon, he raised his.

"I ain't goin' cause you no trouble if you leave me the fuck alone!" His voice was deep, and he had an obvious inner city accent. When he didn't speak, his lips pursed in a way that made it look like he had just eaten something really sour.

"You just killed a man." Ruby told him. "Over what? Small time thievery?"

"It's the principle of the matter!" He told her. His finger moved from the side of the gun to the trigger.

"Just put down the gun." Blake suddenly chimed in, and Frank looked around. He was surrounded, and he did not like these odds. He suddenly dropped his rifle and put his hands behind his head. Ruby began to slowly move in, to apprehend the man. But, once she got within arm's reach of him, he stuck something to her Arc Reactor, picked up his gun and booked it into a nearby alley.

Ruby looked down at her chest, and saw that Frank had planted an explosive onto her.

"After him!" She shouted to her teammates. She didn't want them present when that thing went off, who knew what it was capable of. It was too dangerous to try and fly away, as it could—

The bomb suddenly exploded, and Ruby was launched backwards, out of the armor. She landed face down a few feet away, and she laid there for a few seconds before attempting to get to her feet. But something violently pushed her back down. Had her ears not been ringing, Ruby would have heard the panicked cries of her sister, and the sound of a gun being cocked. But soon she did hear these things, and Frank spoke to her.

"I told you to leave me the hell alone." He told her. "You chose this. Not me. You threatened me. That's a crime! You're a criminal!" He wasn't trying to rationalize this to her, but rather to himself. The gun suddenly pressed deep into Ruby's skull, and Frank began shouting. "One more step! One more Goddamn step and I'll blow her fucking brains out!" He suddenly pulled Ruby to her feet, wrapped his arm around her throat and put the gun to the back of her head. Ruby could now see the crowd that had formed behind her teammates, behind the pieces of her armor. It hadn't survived the blast, or at least that's how it looked. Ruby knew she could easily put it back together if she could get all the pieces, that was if Frank didn't kill her first.

She heard Frank sigh and felt the gun move away from her head. He was about to let her—

There was a sudden spike of pain on the back of her head and her world went black.

A/N: That's right, I brought in the Punisher! I really couldn't help myself, I have to do a monologue in English and I got one from Daredevil, spoken by Jon Bernthal. The monologue made me realize just how interesting of a character he is. He doesn't feel remorse for what he does. He fucking loves it! And it makes sense, because of his family. He doesn't care whether he lives or dies, goes to prison or not, he just wants to see the world of crime burn. So, The Punisher will be the main Antagonist for now. I feel like Antagonist is a little bit of a stretch as well. And, while, he does match the definition of Antagonist, it just makes him seem like the bad guy. He's not. He's not a bad man, he just does bad things. And, if you wanna know what the monologue was, I'll put it in here.

"I ain't crazy! I'm not crazy. Okay? I know what I did. I know who I am. And I do not need your help. I'm smack-dab in the middle of my right goddamn mind, and any scumbag, any... any lowlife, any maggot piece of crap that I put down, I did it... because I liked it! Hell, I loved it! I'm sittin' here, I'm... I'm just itching. I'm itching to do it again. And you think... What, you think you're gonna send me to a nuthouse? Some doctor, they're gonna get me to stop from doing what I want to do? Well, that ain't happening! Not on my watch! You people, you call me the Punisher, ain't that right? The big bad Punisher. Well, here I am! You want it, you got it! I am the Punisher! I'm right here! You want it, I'll give it to you. And anybody who came here today to hear me whine, to hear me bear me beg? Well, you can kiss my ass! Do you hear me? I'm guilty."
