Cinder knew very well what her mistress expected of her. That said, she didn't expect to pose as an Academy student to infiltrate Beacon, but you had to do what you had to do. But what was truly important in infiltration was not being discovered. She was sure that they haven't been caught yet by pure luck on their part- mostly by avoiding that man every chance they could get.
Cinder shook her head; she couldn't let thoughts like those distract her from her mission: mainly infiltrating Beacon's CCT Town to plant a virus. She smiled, oh how she enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. She jumped across another gap in between Beacon's buildings, passing by the ballroom. Oh, she hoped that no-one saw her. It would put a serious wrench in the plans if someone saw her.
She jumped across another gap, heading towards the tower. Making short work of the guards outside- she made sure they were just knocked out, not killed- she made her way in. Taking out the guards with practiced ease, she pressed the 'up' button on the elevator. It didn't take long as the doors opened just half a second later, revealing two more guards. She smiled at them and walked in, already plans to take them out popping into her mind.
But all of those plans flew out the window when the doors failed to shut. Both she and the guards frowned, which became confusion as an armored figure came into view. "Sorry for that, I didn't want to take the next elevator, which might've taken even longer," he, for it was clearly a male by the voice, apologized. He took away the… thing… that blocked the doors and stood beside Cinder.
The doors closed and the man sprang into action, hitting the guard behind him on the neck with his hand, knocking him out quickly. The other guard barely had time to react before Cinder took him out of the equation. She noticed his scroll open on the ground. Picking it up, she noticed it was open to the network connection page, "Ooh, this might be useful."
The man looked over her shoulder and nodded, "Yes, quite."
Cinder couldn't take it anymore, "Who are you?" she asked him.
He chuckled behind his mask, "It's simple, Cinder Fall: I'm here to help you."
"Help me? I don't need help."
"Says the woman who has two lackeys with her all the time. Speaking of them, where are they?"
"They're down at the ball. Now, why are you here?"
"I said that already: I'm here to help you."
Cinder snarled, she wasn't used to being led around in circles with words. "No, who are you?"
The elevator dinged and he moved out, bowing as he did so. "I'm the Black Knight, Ms. Fall."
"Never heard of you." Cinder pulled out her own Scroll and pulled up where the virus was being held.
"Of course you haven't, I'm relatively new here." He waved his hand and a sword appeared in it, and a shield folded out of his armor, covering his lower left arm.
"'Relatively'?" Cinder asked, planting her Scroll on the front desk. She felt a thrill of satisfaction when the chess piece on her own scroll appeared on the other computers.
"I've only been here for two years- this is going to be my third year." His head snapped towards the elevator. "Someone's coming. Hide, quickly, Cinder."
Cinder nodded and hid, not wanting to be discovered. The elevator dinged and opened, a voice floated towards them, "If that is all, Miss Rose, then we must be. . ." the voice trailed off as the owner saw Black Knight. "Miss Rose, I suggest that you move towards the sidelines. I wouldn't want you to get hurt." The owner of the voice ordered. The man, who was wearing off-white armor, waved his own arm and produced a white light which revealed a sword. The Infinity Blade.
Black Knight snarled, "So, we meet again, Raidriar."
"I'm afraid I have no idea who you are, sir. But I do know whose armor that is: Ausar the Vile's."
"Oh, come on, we were doing something!"
"Oh? Roleplay, then? Very well." Raidriar nodded, then grasped the shield on his back, "It seems we must fight either way, though."
Black Knight nodded, readying his own sword and shield, "So it seems."
They rushed each other and clashed blades, sending a loud 'clang' throughout the tower. They disengaged, then started circling each other. Cinder, who was hiding under a desk, slowly moved up and grabbed her Scroll. Being careful not to be seen, she made her way towards the window, only for a shout to stall her progress.
Looking that way, she saw the 'Miss Rose' from before- it was the little bint that she fought months ago- and she was looking her way. Scowling at being found out, she jumped over the blade that was swung at her and flipped back towards the window. Creating two obsidian blades, she blocked the next swing of the scythe and broke the window with the other blade. Creating a dagger in her off hand, she threw it at the girl, who blocked it, and jumped out the window.
Black Knight grinned underneath his helmet, "Well, Raidriar, it was nice catching up, but I'm afraid I must go now. Blinding Light!" he yelled and a concussive blast of white light disorientated both Raidriar and Rose, leaving him ample time to escape.
Raidriar scowled under his helmet once the light cleared. "Darn. And here I was hoping to find out who he was." Shaking his head, he looked at Ruby. "Well, Miss Rose, it was nice meeting you, but I am afraid I must leave now."
"Wait, why?" she asked, collapsing her scythe into its compact form.
"I must not be seen by most others. Besides, I like being mysterious, it gives me something to do." he bowed. "Farewell, Miss Rose." Straightening up, he tapped his gauntlet and burst into a wreath of flames.
Ruby stared at the spot where he disappeared from, ashes floating down. "Wh- what?"
Just then, the elevator dinged and opened up, revealing General Ironwood in the elevator. Moving out of the elevator, he asked, "What happened?"
Taking a deep breath, Ruby started recounting what happened from when she was in the ball to when Raidriar left.
