Damian walked over to Jason when he called Team JADE over.

"Okay guys." Jason said. "Let's go."

"Wait." Damian said. "We can help more people if we split up."

"So, you want to split up?" Jason asked.

Ember nodded.

"We can save more people that way." Auburn said.

"Fine then." Jason said. "We will split up to cover more ground."

Team CFVY came up.

"So?" Coco asked. "What can we do to help?"

"We are Splitting up so we can help more people." Auburn said.

"I'll come with you." Coco said looking at Auburn

"No. Not that I don't enjoy our time together Coco, but we need to help as many people as possible."

"What if you need back up though?"

"I'll be fine Coco."

"But..."

Auburn walked up to Coco and kissed her on the lips. "I'll be fine Coco. I promise."

Damian looked away to give them some privacy.

Coco looked at Auburn. "Don't die then."

"I won't." Auburn said before looking in Damian's direction.

She walked up to him and took 'Crimson Storm' from her back and handed it to him. "Your debt to me has been repaid. You have shown that you have changed and won't be the same jack ass who embarrassed me last semester."

Damian took 'Crimson Storm' back and nodded at Auburn. "I won't disappoint you." He said sincerely.

You're on the edge, of giving up

Auburn looked from Damian to Jason.

You know I feel it too

Jason nodded at Auburn before she took off to help as many people as she could.

It won't be long because

Damian looked over at Jason before putting 'Crimson Storm' on his back. It felt good to have it back.

I'm with you

"Are you good?" Jason asked.

Bring the fire, bring the smoke

"Yeah." Damian said. "Go and do whatever an Alpha does."

Bring the rain

Jason nodded and ran out the south entrance of the arena leaving an indent in the ground.

We will bend, but we will never break

Damian took off out the west entrance. It wasn't long before he found a group of scared Children.

If we believe we can't lose

"Are you guys okay?" He asked.

Even mountains will move

"We got separated from our parents, and we don't know where they are."

It's my faith, it's my life

"I'll help you find them." Damian said. "Follow me."

This is our battle cry!

The kids hesitantly followed Damian towards the airships.

They can't take us down

"Halt." A robotic Atlas guard said.

If we stand our ground

"Get behind me." Damian said to the kids.

If we live if we die

The kids hid behind him, and he began whispering. "Jason. If you aren't busy, then I could use some help. I'm surrounded by Atlas guards, and need help getting some kids to an airship."

We will shout out, our battle cry

"Halt." The Atlas guard said.

Ohhhooohh

Three more Atlas guards came up to him.

Can you hear it?

Damian drew the 'Crimson Storm'. He looked at it. Auburn had taken really good care of it.

Ohhhooohh

"Halt." The Atlas guards said in unison.

Can you feel it?

There was a crack, and the guards were destroyed.

It seems like no one knows

"Thanks Jas..." Damian began but stopped. Jason was vibrating with rage. Something was wrong. "What's wrong?" Damian asked.

How you've been feeling

"Auburn... She's dead."

You're hiding all your hopes

"What!" Damian said in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Auburn was dead. "What happened?"

You've stopped believing

"Death Stalker."

It's not over, we're one step away

Damian felt like he'd been kicked in the chest. Auburn. Why Auburn? Why did it have to be Auburn? Why couldn't it have been him. Auburn was better than him. It should have been him.

We will bend, but we will never break

"Damian!" Jason said.

I believe we can't lose

"What?" Damian asked.

Even mountains will move

"We need to get these kids to an airship."

It's my faith, it's my life

Damian wiped a tear from his eye and nodded. "Let's go."

This is our battle cry!

The two hunters ran to the landing strip and got the kids loaded onto the ship.

They can't take us down

"You will be safe here." Damian said.

If we stand our ground

"Are you coming with us?" One of the girls asked.

If we live if we die

"No." Damian said. "I have to get others here so they can be safe."

We will shout out, our battle cry

"Oh. Okay."

Ohhhooohh

Damian and Jason walked away from the airship.

Can you hear it?

"Was it painless?" Damian asked in a low tone.

Ohhhooohh

"No. She was stabbed through the stomach by the Death Stalkers barb."

Can you feel it?

Damian let out what sounded like a growl and a sob.

Let it rise like a prayer in the night

"Let's go. I'm feeling vengeful."

Shout for love, shout for hope

Damian nodded. "Can I borrow your fighting style?"

Let 'em hear us!

"Yeah."

Ohhhooohh

Damian blinked and copied Jason's fighting style. "Whoa." He exclaimed when the thought of Auburns death caused him to get stronger than he normally got when borrowing Jason's Fighting Style. 'Did Jason get stronger?' He thought. "What is this power?" He asked.

Ohhhooohh

"When a Teammate is hurt, I get stronger. I adapted it into my fighting style after Shira's death. It's kind of mind over matter."

I believe we can't lose

"Good to know." Damian said. '…but not what I was talking about. Maybe it's just grief. I'll ask him after this is done.' "I'm going to see if anyone needs my help." Damian said running off.

Even mountains will move

"Hey." Jason called after him.

It's our faith, it's our life

"Yeah?" Damian called back.

This is our battle cry!

"Watch your back."

They can't take us down

Damian nodded before racing off feeling like he had been kicked in the heart.

If we stand our ground

He ran around Beacon killing Grimm and Atlas guards as he went along. He was powered by rage. Nothing would stop him.

If we live if we die

He ran around a corner and saw Pyrrha and Jaune. He noticed Pyrrha's body language. She was about to push Jaune... Into a Rocket Propelled Locker. He ran at them and jumped behind Jaune at the last second before being pushed into the locker.

We will shout out, our battle cry

He watched the two as he was launched into the air.

Ohhhooohh

When he landed, he looked around and saw Atlas guards everywhere. 'Here's where the fun begins.'

Can you hear it?
(Can you hear it?)


"Pyrrha?" Jaune said. "Why would you do that?"

"I can't lose you Jaune."

"and you think I can lose you?"

Pyrrha looked at Jaune.

"Pyrrha. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. I'm stronger, and Faster, and Braver. I can help you. I have been trained by you and Jason. I can stand by your side."

"You're right Jaune. You are stronger than when you started at Beacon. Let's go."

Pyrrha and Jaune ran to the elevator and Pyrrha used her Semblance to force the elevator up.

When the two got to Ozpins office they saw Cinder take her hand from someone and the person turned to dust before disappearing.

"NO!" Pyrrha yelled.

Jaune looked over at the Hammer on the floor. "NNOOO!" He sobbed.


Ohhhooohh

Damian looked at the Atlas Guards. "What are you waiting for!" He yelled.

Can you feel it?
(Can you feel it?)

"Halt." The Atlas guards said.

Ohhhooohh

Damian ran at the Atlas Guards, slicing off arms, legs, or heads.

Can you hear it?
(I can feel it)

"Halt."

Ohhhooohh

"Shut the hell up!" Damian yelled slicing through more Atlas Guards.

Can you feel it?

There were the sounds of guns charging up.

Can you feel it?

"Ah fu..."

Ohhhooohh

Damian was cut off as round after round hit him. His armor protected him. He was going to feel this in the morning. Then he felt something that was bad. The Atlas Guards increased the rate of fire, and he could feel his armor start to crack under the onslaught. He knew what was coming next, and he didn't like it. Then he felt the first-round pierce his skin followed by another and another until he no longer felt anything.

Ohhhooohh

There was a blinding flash of light and the sound of metal hitting the ground.

Ohhhooohh
Ohhhooohh


Jason looked at Damian. He had a feeling. "Hey." Jason called after him.

"Yeah?" Damian called back.

"Watch your back."

Damian nodded before racing off.

Jason ran off to help wherever he could.

He ran through Beacon killing Grimm and Atlas Guards and saving people in trouble. He was on auto pilot. He didn't even realize what he was doing.

He became surrounded by three Death Stalkers.

"JASON!" A voice yelled.

Jason turned to see a massive sword spinning towards him. He caught the sword by the handle and looked it over. It was heavy. So heavy that he needed to use both hands. He swung it cutting through the Death Stalkers faces. 'It's sharp. very sharp.' He looked at the side and saw a bolt. He pulled it back and saw a massive round in the barrel. He locked it, planted his feet, and pulled the trigger.

Twin furrows where left as he was forced back by the kickback of the 'Bunker Buster'.


Scott was fighting with the 'Bunker Buster' when he saw Jason staring down three Death Stalkers. "JASON!" He yelled throwing the 'Bunker Buster towards Jason. Best case scenario Jason could use the 'Bunker Buster'. Worst Case scenario Jason jumped over the massive blade.

Jason caught the blade and looked it over before cutting the Death Stalkers through the face, killing them.

Jason pulled the bolt back and loaded the 'Bunker Buster's' Cannon and pulled the trigger.

Jason couldn't handle the recoil and was pushed back creating furrows in the ground with his prosthetics.

Scott walked over to Jason and held his hand out to him. "You okay?"

Jason took Scott's hand and Scott helped him out of the furrows.

There was a blinding flash of light.

Jason heard Damian say "...ck" He took off and ran towards the light.


When Jason got to where the light was, he saw a black charred spot on the ground with 'Crimson Storm' and the 'Swing Slash' on the ground. Both were surrounded by Atlas Guards.

Jason dropped to his knees and ash flew into the air. Tears fell freely from his eyes. Damian and he didn't get along all the time, but he didn't want him dead. He picked up the Weapons off the ground.

"Halt." The Atlas Guards said.

The furnace in Jason's gut roared to life at full power. He let out an Alpha pulse that was heard all around Beacon. The rage in the pulse even affected the Grimm making them stop allowing the Hunters to get the drop on them when they recovered.

Jason moved so fast that the Atlas Guards couldn't track him as he sliced them to pieces with 'Crimson Storm'

"Die." Jason said with each strike. "Die!" He yelled. "DIE!" He roared until the last Atlas Guard was scrap metal.

Jason panted with rage. "Ironwood is dead!" He roared in outrage. "Do you hear me? He's Dead!"

Jason picked himself up off the ground. He had to keep going. People needed him. He couldn't mourn yet.

Jason walked around the corner. He saw White Fang members. He walked up to a dog Faunus and kicked him so hard he shattered the left side of his ribs. "Get out of my school!" He roared.

The dog Faunus fell to his knees and gasped for air.

"You should have stayed in bed." Jason said leaving the dog Faunus where he lay.

Jason walked through the mob of Faunus maiming any of them within his reach. He would leave them to die where they lay.

He heard Blake screaming, and followed her voice.


In the shopping District Yang ran at Adam Taurus because he was attacking Blake.

*Slice*

Yang's nerves screamed as they burned from the violation of her body. Her body went into shock.

"Her blood is on your hands Blake." Adam said.

There was the sound of something Swinging.

Adam pulled his Sword out of its sheath and blocked...

*Shatter*

Correction. He tried to block and failed to block Jason's leg, but his sword shattered from the impact.

Jason could smell fear radiating from Adam and Blake.

"HOW!" Adam yelled. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!"

Jason grabbed Adam by his throat and lifted him into the air.

Adam looked into amber, red eyes glowing through the helmet's triangular eye slits.

"Are you afraid of me now?" The voice coming from the helmet asked.

Adam tried to gain his composure, but he couldn't.

"I'm going to hunt you. I'm going to kill you. I will make you beg for death as I slowly rip everything that makes you, you away. I want to enjoy the hunt though. So, run. Hide. Cower. I want to enjoy hunting you." Jason threw Adam away before looking at Blake. "What?" He asked.

Blake picked up Yang and ran away from Jason.

Jason walked away until he saw a White Fang member with a giant chainsaw. He took two throwing knives from his prosthetics before throwing them at the White Fang member hitting the eye slits in his mask.

Jason walked over and picked up the chainsaw. He pulled the throwing knives from the White Fang members eyes and wiped them on the White Fang members vest and put them back into his prosthetics.

He walked into the night swinging the chainsaw at Grimm, White Fang, and Atlas Guards along the way.

AN: I'm sorry for killing off Damian. Who did Cinder kill? Will Jaune and Pyrrha be able to beat Cinder? All Questions that will be answered by the end of the Volume. Enjoy.
