Disclaimer: Before I start this fanfic up again, I just want to let you all know that this a work of fiction, and if you don't like it leave now, for this is not a kid friendly story. It's a tale about righting the wrongs, it's based off of the crow, so be alarmed as the death's in no way affects RWBY, even if they happen to be your favorites, it's nothing personal but it's just me being me. I happen to enjoy RWBY and in no way mean to spite it's creators. Quite the opposite in fact it's because of Monty Oum that RWBY was even given life, and I immensely respect him and his legacy. I give credit where credit is do. My other inspiration comes in the form of the character of Eric Draven played in the movie the Crow by Brandon Lee, he has been quite influential on me written this fanfic. Even though both of these guys have left this world, they leave us some special legends, so enjoy and if you feel like commenting feel free to, a little word of advice please under no circumstance criticize this fanfic, keep your criticism constructive, not destructive if you do comment in a negative way, I will block you, no joke. We're here in the name of fun not to hate on each other.
Chapter Two: The Hunt Begins
The pit...
There's no worse place in all of Vale then the dive know simply as the Pit. It's a bar/night club and it just so happens to be a hangout for some of Remnants low lives. Here we meet up with Tyrian and his friends. Cinder is sitting at her usual spot, her legs crossed and she rests one hand on her cheek, in her other she holds a literal flame to which she created. Sitting besides her is her right hand girl/ lover Emerald, the very same starry eyed girl who obsesses over Cinder, with her white hair in pig tails and her green eyes, and dark skin. The great illusionist as she is know by her peers. In front of Cinder is her new recruit Mercury Black, he has sliver hair and is slender build, he retro fitted his own robot legs, he's young and naive. As usual Hazel is standing guard of his lady Cinder,he vowed to never let any one harm Cinder. Cinder only has those around that she deems to be trustworthy, even friends, though I wouldn't peg Cinder as having too many friends. The last member is Tyrian, although the conversion seems to be going rather one sided and Cinder doesn't seem particularly in the mood for a conversion.
Together the five of them form the Hell Fire Club, the name Cinder chose for herself, not to be confused with the other Hellfire club from the X-Men Hahahaha.
"Salem isn't very happy with you Tyrian, you know that she can be rather angry if the mood strikes her" Cinder said turning the flame on and off in her hand not keeping eye contact with Tyrian, he spoke nervously
"My lady, hmm you know how aim to serve thee, hm and Salem... what brings this about."
Cinder could sense just how nervous Tyrian was, now she could break him
"The girl with the silver eyes, Summer Rose, you weren't suppose to kill her, Just scare her some." Cinder said staring at him, his composer changed slightly and he had this nervous tick where he would laugh uncontrollably.
"Sorry, Cinder you know that once I start I..I can't stop, She was the best that I ever had,hahahaha, hm but she was weak" Tyrian said
Cinder wasn't amused by this and spoke
"You can do me one last favor" Cinder said
"Wait, last? What is it my lady" Tyrian asked
"You are being replaced by Mercury here, but you have you uses, Salem wants you to track down and bring the daughter of Summer Rose here before me, ALIVE! fail and well you know how Salem gets when people fail her."
"I wasn't aware of a daughter? Really, hmm" Tyrian said a wicked grimace spreading across his face
"You are not to fuck her Tyrian, understand, pull your dick out in front of her and I will burn it off, no joke, We needed Summer, and you went too far, Salem isn't as forgiving as I am." Cinder said
"I understand, My lady, and rest assured that I won't fail again, best regards to our queen, long live Salem." Tyrian said
"Long live Salem"...they all shouted in unison
"Now get going and don't you dare return here without the girl, I really don't know why Salem wants these silver eyed people but I don't question the wise leadership of the all powerful lady Salem, She is going to rule all of remnant, it's just a matter of time." Cinder said smiling
Tyrian had a fake smile which turned to a grin as he walked out the door of the Pit, he didn't look back, he couldn't look back, he knew what he had to do , and damn it, he wasn't going to fail a second time, he would die before that happened.
Qrow ran across the rooftops jumping and leaping like a comic book hero..or antihero.
His mind kept returning to that night, as if he couldn't put the past behind him, he needed to start tracking down these villains, but where were they, Tyrian was his starting point, he would make that freak talk..and then he was going to kill him. He was going to kill them all. Summer needed to be avenged, his tortured soul was brought back for one reason, to avenge the one that he secretly loved.
Vale was a large place but it wasn't nearly as large as Mantle the capital of Atlas, the kingdom to the
north. Qrow has visited Atlas numerous times at the request of Ozpin,when he and his friends had been a part of team STRQ, which was where he first met and fell in love with Summer, they worked together on several missions but he felt that his life was complete whenever she was around. However he continued to torture himself because he couldn't ever tell her how he felt, he missed his chance, she fell in love with Tai Yang Xiao Long and they eventually got married and had a daughter together Ruby. Tai and Qrow's sister Raven also had a child together, another girl Yang who's resemblance to Raven was uncanny, except instead of having black hair and red eyes like Raven, Yang had yellow hair and blue eyes,like her father Tai. But Tai didn't want Qrow hanging around the girls on account of his bad luck..pah if that was what it was, Qrow had never been happy a day in his life, except whenever Summer was around.
Tyrian stopped in a dark ally by a trashcan with a fire in it, he needed to warm his hands as it was getting cold, there definitely was a chill to the air.
"Geez, it's cold here tonight, Vale sucks" He said to himself
Qrow had done it, he had found Tyrian, and it was starting to come together.
Qrow didn't speak until he was already on Tyrian
"Jesus H. Christ, what the hell are you suppose to be, some sort of a clown?"Tryian said shocked
Qrow just stood there for a second freaking Tyrian out some more
"Look ass hat, I don't have any money, or drugs on me, man, what what do you want, say something freak"
Tryian was so scared he pissed his pants a little
Qrow laughed and finally he said a very odd thing
"Get Over here"
Laughing Qrow got closer to Tyrian almost in his personal space, Tyrian pulled out a knife and sliced Qrow, cutting his shirt open,blood poured out of his wound, then it instantly healed
"Fuck me? Are,are you some kind of ghost" Tryian said
Qrow just laughed then spoke
"I don't really know what I am"
"I do, your fucking dead..again"Tyrian said wildly swinging his knife
"Try harder!" Qrow said antagonizing Tyrian
Finally after a few minutes of Tyrian blindly swinging his knife until he was tired out, Qrow just stood there like a statue
"Ya know Tyrian, are finished shadow boxing?, cause we need to talk, so pay attention, I will talk slowly so that you can keep up." Qrow said
"Tell me a story, about a girl and a guy in aloft downtown, two years ago, her name was Summer Rose, she was a beautiful and talented young woman with great aspirations to better the world of Remnant, and you and your little gang of freaks barged in and murdered her..well you rapped her, then beat her while your friends just watched, and although I couldn't stop you then, I sure as hell will now, are you starting to get it Tyrian? Who are the others, NAMES, now talk" Qrow said grabbing Tyrian by his coat collar, his tail wildly moving behind him
"Yeah so what, I've killed a lot of people, I'm good at it too, she was going to be my mark, see I have a mark on my skin one for every victim that I have killed so far 121, hahaha, and yeah I do remember her, she was a good fuck, too bad that she died in such a pussy way" Tyrian said
"Wrong answer dirt bag" Qrow said grabbing Tyrian's knife out of his hand and stabbed him in his right shoulder, he screamed but Qrow didn't mind
Now Tyrian was pinned up against a dumpster and Qrow, he spoke
"Ok, ok I understand, the one you want is Cinder, Cinder Fall, she leads the Hell Fire Club"
"Cinder yeah, now I remember her, wait the hellfire club? Isn't someone going to sue you guys for using that name?" Qrow said
"Nah, it's alright that's a different hellfire club, no this one has only five members, Cinder is the leader, then her little bitch friend Emerald is second in command, the big bruiting guy is Hazel, and then there's the scrawny kid Mercury, and yours truly" Tyrian said
"Correction Tyrian, there are still four of them you die, now.." Qrow said
"What?" Tyrian said as Qrow slit his throat with Tyrian's other knife, the blood oozed out of his throat in a most gruesome fashion
As Tyrian twitched out his last breath, and the look of contortion on his face
Qrow said one more line
"Victims aren't we all"
"Hey nice jacket you got there, mind if I barrow it for a bit" Qrow said taking Tyrian's jacket and putting it on
"Like a glove,whoops I should have asked him how to find the others, oh well, heat of the moment I suppose,hmm someone around this hellhole has to know about this Hell Fire Club, geez how unoriginal." and Qrow disappeared again
A few minutes later the cops had shown up setting up another crime scene, Detective Marx was the lead investigator of the double homicide two years ago, he was almost certain that he knew who was responsible for this, he shook his head and after looking at Tyrian, with the same contorted look on his face he spoke
"Tyrian Coleus, serial rapist, murder, and down right psychopath, you could count yourself lucky if you never met this freak in a dark ally, whoever did this certainly had a motive, but who would kill a killer?"
"Detective you better have a look at this, look at the symbol behind the body, what do you think that it is" Neptune a junior detective said
"Some might call it gratify, I call it blood, it's a bird of some kind like a crow? Someone is tipping us off, letting us know that only the truly guilty are going to die, still it's rather unsettling, well tag em and bag em, there's nothing more to see here." Detective Marx said
Sun Wu Kong and Neptune the two Junior Detectives nodded at their Superior officer's request, they picked up Tyrian's corpse and placed in in a body bag, zipped up the bag and grabbed it placing it in the ambulance, they didn't joke as they knew that this was only the beginning and that there where going to be a lot more deaths before this was over.
A big black bird landed on the dumpster above the scene of the crime, as black as the night itself and it squawked letting everyone know that it was there and then it flew off again.
