Unleashed
For their defiance, the mortals had to be punished. Their disobedience and reckless disregard for the gods could no longer be tolerated. The only question now was what punishment the gods would inflict.
Cinder had suggested they rain fire from the sky and boil away the oceans.
Nora had threatened to unleash endless storms upon the world.
And Weiss had prepared enormous stacks of impossible to complete paperwork that would bury the mortal world in bureaucratic red tape so horrifying it would result in the deaths of all who looked upon it.
However, it was Ruby, better known as Death, who came up with the most terrifying punishment of all.
"Yes…" Death growled. "We will unleash… the corgi."

A normal corgi was cute.
A corgi that was ten miles tall and breathed fire was not so cute.
Towering over his surroundings, Zwei crushed the mortal city underfoot and unleashed seemingly endless clouds of flame. Mortals ran in all directions, but it was pointless. He was the Watchdog of the Abyss, and he had been given strict orders. There would be no mercy, and there would be no escape.
With each step he took, the ground turned to lava. Ash rained down from the sky, and every bark unleashed a hurricane. Shadows spilled off his dark fur and tumbled to the ground below before rising as monstrous, hungry spirits. His gaze set mortals ablaze, and his growl called bolts of lightning down from the sky.

"You know," Death said, watching as Zwei rolled around in his sleep and flailed his legs. "I kind of wonder what he's dreaming about."
"Who knows." Weiss glanced up from her paperwork. "Probably food."

Author's Notes
Heh. The mortal world is lucky that Zwei is such a happy-go-luck guy. As the Watchdog of the Abyss, he is one of the most powerful Divine Beasts in existence, so he is more than capable of annihilating the mortal world. Thankfully, that's not likely to happen since Death, of all the gods, is probably the last one to advocate wiping out mortals. Of course, that doesn't stop Zwei from dreaming about it from time to time.
Oh, and a reminder of why Tumblr can be an awful place. For saying that the plot of RWBY became a disaster zone later on, someone said I was (and I'm quoting here) an "LGBT+phobic right-wing misogynistic incel shitlords." Yes. Me. I didn't like the plot of RWBY later, so I am apparently someone who hates LGBT+ people. I'm also a misogynist. Oh, and they threw in the incel insult a bit later too.
The funny thing is that when I confronted them about it (before eventually blocking them), they insisted that it didn't matter what I said. All that mattered was that I didn't like the RWBY plot, so I had to be an evil monster. When I pointed out all the ways that was obviously false and that this is why people call the RWBY fandom toxic, they said I was throwing myself a pity party. Sigh. This is why I miss the Fangrai (Fang x Lightning fandom). That was one chill fandom.
