For the next week watts and Tyrian left the shadowlands to look for clues and connections regarding the remnant reaper, red baron, and where cole's body disappeared to.
watts was already calling his connections In the four kingdoms to dig anything up but the only -although quick growing cold connections those two had were their multicolored lighting capabilities and body type but not much else.
"Maybe I should focus on the boy first and go from there" watts concluded folding up his nap of mistral and grabbed a paper cup of coffee and capped it to go.
"how long is this going to take watts, I want to get to the fun part" Tyrian complained flicking his tail around in irritation.
Watts sat at a desk overlooking the few files he had on hand.
Letting out a quiet breath of relief after a symphony of cackling rang out from his neck and back he said "when we run into trouble or when I need you to cause a distraction; discretion is my forte not yours"
Tyrian responded with a groan of disappointment and began more murder fantasies while watts went back to finding more about reaper and possible connections to the murders he's racked up and coles disappearance.
"you must admit it Tyrian" he began standing up from his seat and tossed a news article to the scorpion. "he may very well had killed more people than you my did"
"Oh yes this may be true...but-" Tyrian stopped to jump to his feet slicing the paper to ribbons "does he feel the same way I do when blades separate flesh from bone like I do?" he giggled and hugged himself trying to contain himself. "Or the absolute thrill of blood spray on the walls and the warmth when they bleed on his face?"
"I doubt it" he replied grabbing his phone and placed a call walking out the door but turned to Tyrian "try to be good and stay out of trouble"
"no promises!" he psychotically giggled watching the man leave the room and began belting out a terrifying laugh that echoed throughout the building.
He never understood the man but watts was content in letting him do as he please as long as he didn't cause too much trouble or got in his way.
"I'm out on business what do you need flog" he asked caressing one of his many rings.
"I found a connection like you asked but you wont believe it unless I show you; there's a house near the red sign east of you follow it down the alleyway and lift the middle pothole cover of the five currently there" the line went dead and his curiosity was officially peaked so he took the route he was told of and true to the instructions he found the middle cover was a cylindrical tube that had appeared to have just been built with the latter as proof of that.
"good to know I don't need Tyrian for this part" he mused climbing down the shaft.
Dress shoes gently touched fine white marble tiles as watts took in his surroundings and saw a coded door and a fingerprint analyzer above the key pad
bzzt bzzt*
He pulled out his phone and read a message that said "enter the code 3-15-12-5 and it'll let you in without the rest of the security credentials"
Doing as instructed the doors opened to an elevator about six feet in diameter and twelve feet high. "welcome to my humble abode dr.watts" an old friend's voice said as the elevator took him even further underground.
riding the box down he opened his phone and read a message from Tyrian "I got bored and went for a walk, I'll bring you a souvenir XD"
he rolled his eyes and sent his reply "keep it, im not a fan of organs or bone splinters" he knew Tyrian was bound to get bored but not this quickly and frankly he was too busy to care 'the queen wants disorder and he delivers with gusto' he chuckled at the thought as the doors opened with a gentle *ding* and walked the many steel grey halls lined with large red and white droids and took note of the large tanks containing grimm remains or full bodies of each shadow common and rare alike.
"I hope you don't mind the scenic route doctor, im quite proud of my work"
Lining the many corridors were samples and remains of his experiments or some of the many experiments that were still being worked on.
a humanoid grimm that looked to have had its chest blown out from the inside. It had horns like a mohawk, rough skin like stone, missing fingers and parts of its legs and toes.
a feline grimm roughly resembling a sabretooth tiger half its tail rotted off four purple eyes and six muscular legs.
Dire wolf grimm nicknamed: black bog for its ability to create slick pools of grey tar that turned into a smoke making the recipients hallucinate the worst and intensified the longer they were exposed
Next were tubes containing wyrms large serpentine grimm that created tunnels deep underground they had bone plating all over its body with fin-like blades lining its body.
Watts wondered how and why merlot loved shadow as much as he showed in his work, but then again he was no better.
All types of gimm he'd seen before but the corridor that caught his attention with surprise was marked as "project: Sigma Knight" and stopped in his tracks to look at the map he'd gotten from upstairs.
With a calm 'hmph' he called out still standing there "merlot old friend, why is this corridor congruent with your office?"
Of course watts walked in as he'd asked but it didn't make the nausea any harder to force down. He'd watched salem created, tear apart, and rearrange shadow bodies and
thiscorridormade him squeamish?
Gods this was a new one. But slowly understood as he thought more about it.
"oh good, I was afraid you wouldn't have asked about that, I lost many clones to the instability of cole Foster's biology and finding out that he is Faunas, human, and part shadow was almost impossible to replicate so I had to clone him by creating a robot capable of carrying a child and uhmm...grow the clone naturally but used the grimm's essence to speed up the growth rate, and this corridor is the result of that...unfortunately I have yet to create a successful clone of him"
Watts froze at those last words and looked around realizing the clones were warped, deformed, and many labeled as defective. The sheer amount of their deformed bodies were absolutely staggering.
Merlot was an intelligent man but lying was unfortunately one of his weakest points but made up for it with his influence on the creations he'd made. A successful clone of cole was made but something about this slip of the mind made watts suspicious of him.
"then why haven't you fed these defections to her grace's pets she supplies you with for your tests?" watts inquired as he took a look at a clone with half his face missing, his left leg rotted off and right arm grown too small. "I'm sure these tanks could be cleaned out and repurposed"
Merlot took this as a surprise and replied joyfully "ah good eye old friend, you see its as simple as reusing the healthy parts of the other clones to aid the defective ones"
Watts let out a chuckle and said "reduce the waste, reuse the healthy parts, and recycle the bodies to your pets, oh by the gods that's simply brilliant merlot" he had to admit it was brilliant but it was no worse than what he did with his robotic career. "the only problem I am fighting is that the original is uncloneable...I've seen a challenge through grimm and replicated a few of them, completely changed its composition and even gifted them with types of dust crystals, but this...freak of a specimen's DNA is too complex I just can't clone him!"
Watts gave another pause when he saw a septic tank with its front shattered on the ground, glass littered all around a pool of red slime and saline fluid with an odd brown red gel that reeked of blood and infected rotting flesh.
With a tired sigh he added "nor can his DNA be decoded; grimm, human and Faunas are difficult to decode and clone but there's something about specimen sigma that makes it too difficult, hell almost impossible."
Watts huffed a deep breath and strolled over to the door at the far end of the corridor into what he assumed was merlot's since then and was furiously typing on his desktop for a moment and let out a happy hum looking up.
"did you find my little side project...enlightening Arthur?"
Watts sat down at a small coffee table waving him over as a professional courtesy, but merlot stayed at his desk and grabbed a pair of drinking glasses and a bottle of Mistralian whiskey.
"please come join me doctor, I've been on my feet all day, you understand don't you?" watts asked straightening his coat.
Hesitant merlot joined him with the drinks and went right to the point "doc- Jameson, I'd like to know about project sigma. You were supposed to be monitoring your...creations yes?"
Merlot nodded giving watts a glass of whiskey and both took a sip.
"Arthur I understand that her grace asks of me and I have been generous to give her everything she's wanted but-" he began but couldn't find it in him to keep going.
"Jameson, I assure you I haven't the foggiest of whatever it is that you are talking about" he commented taking a long sip of the whiskey enjoying the flavor.
"maybe I should just show you" he replied handing him a file with SIGMA on the front in big bright red ink. He read note after note and sped up as he flipped through everything and froze at salem's personal writing in cursive written with blood.
Dear jameson merlot,
this may come as a surprise to you but I have a favor I need from you concerning your...unorthodox levels of interest you have in my grimm, as such this requires total and complete discrepancy from you no matter the cost NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO HEAR OFT HIS. The contents of this favor have been given to you by me personally, he's alive and is able to carry myessence but is far too...reluctant to kill mercilessly. so i need him recreated and sent to me for the final touches. I don't need to stress the importance enough.
Sincerely, S.
Watts looked up from the letter and calmly gave the entire file back already looking for a careful approach to this topic. But how does one ask 'does salem want kids' delicately?
"she asked me to truly perform the impossible here watts"
He said already knowing what he needed to know but nothing else and merlot was only as talented as the quality or the type of project he was working on.
"but, why the valentine boy; his sister is still thriving and controlled the smoke that grimm create when they perish, wouldn't she be a better candidate?"
Jameson shifted in his seat as he drained his glass and filled it almost completely "because she isn't alive watts" This gave him pause to ponder for a moment until he said "she may have been exposed to salem's divine essence but...she's a bodiless soul linked to her twin brother like an astral cord, or that's what she herself named it as. But my point is that-"
"she is alive because cole unknowingly had absorbed her bio-electrical energy and her aura, and kept her alive by accident?"
Merlot got up and pressed a button on his phone excitedly "yes, precisely. Cole accidentally created a link to her soul and trapped her here with him and due to him absorbing her bio-electrical energy he also gained her eye, and the biology complex enough to maintain homeostasis with the grimm essence and made it his own, in short cole's clone is going to become a synthetic grimm knight" he ended his explanation by throwing his arms open revealing the same broken tube and watched in horror as the same saline fluid and red brown jelly hit the floor and slide down the tube and wall.
"wh-what!? What's the meaning of this?! Where's subject sigma." He shook and stumbled watching in horror as watts walked past him touching cole's tube "I was meaning to ask about this; nothing like the present as they say"
Merlot shook and trembled in his boots as he stood there petrified at the tubes state unable to speak let alone breath properly.
"w-watts I didn't-" he stopped when watts held up his hand silencing the pudgy man.
He paced the office for almost twenty minutes trying to think about what his next twenty moves were and all seemed to get him to the same place; behind schedule with salem's prize.
Finally watts grabbed the bottle and drained what little he saw was left and growled at the burn in his throat and pulled out his phone showing him a picture of a man know as red baron.
"does this man mean anything to you and your side project for salem?"
Merlot looked over the pictures and videos taken of a man named the red baron breaking sigma out of the tube thinking he had cole and ran for it. against his better nature hurled the phone across the room then proceeded to trash his own office
"THAT BASTARD! How'd he get past my security and steal sigma?!"
"doctor, you mean to say that 'the reaper' is project sigma; does salem want to create children with...with
that?!"
Turning to his old friend merlot giving him the 'seriously?' look and said "of course she doesn't!" he pushed past him and brought out a recorder and sighed "this is why she wants sigma" before he pushed play.
"this is doctor Jameson merlot, and here with me is lady salem of the shadowlands *two seconds of static* igma project is still in development but may I ask why you wish to have sigma cloned your grace, uhm, i mean you have all the power, and influence you could ever want I just-" he was cut off by her sigh and spoke calmly "I will be honest with you doctor, I wish to know what its like to love someone who shares my ambitious interests, and what better way than to bring me a man who went through hell and still loves even the smallest shards of remnant *static*...and I wish to-"
static cuts in ending the recording*
Both men stood there waiting for the rest but it didn't come. Merlot put the recording away and sat at his desk not caring for the repercussions of revealing her secrets would bring.
"I hope that helps you in your search for sigma" he said giving watts a revolver containing a single bullet and added "just make it quick"
As watts grabbed the gun he chuckled and said "im not going to kill you and I doubt her majesty would be pleased with me if I did" he still took the gun but took the bullet out and put it in his pocket fishing out a syringe and put it on the desk, inside was murky red and was the size of a 20mm sniper round.
"this is my payment for sigma, hope you do beautiful things with it doctor" he said walking out of the office calmly calling Tyrian but the line went dead after a few rings. "he's still out playing?!" he sighed annoyed with the man as he found the elevator and took it back the way he came.
Tyrian's mind was traveling a mile a minute and his heart was thumping in his chest, adding to the psychotic glee in his eyes took off as he chased a man through the streets weaponless but not defenseless.
Tyrian loooooved killing people; the rush of chasing them down, the satisfaction of stabbing them with his tail, the euphoria of watching the life fade oh so slowly from their eyes, and the pool of blood they were soaked in made his soul leap around in joy. Right now was no different but this time was because someone picked his pockets and stole the bag of his queen's hair thinking it was gold so his murderer tendency overpowered him with irrational rage.
The boy finally made a mistake of rounding a corner and his attempt got rewarded with his tail scratching his arm dropping the bag. Tyrian caught the small pouch and lunged onto the boy and stabbed him in the shoulder injecting more poison in him, watching his own reflection fade in his eyes and stood up laughing like a madman and started vigorously stabbing his new friend over and over until his body leaked more poison than he did blood.
"that's enough Tyrian" a voice said behind him giving him pause to ponder his next move.
"you had your fun and I got what I needed, now follow me we'll eat and rest until tomorrow; reaper just got easier to track" Tyrian followed watts back to their temporary place with some disappointment but forgot it in favor of wondering what he found out.
By the time they both got back to the apartment Tyrian stepped in the door opting to sit on the couch and opened his phone to stare at the pictures he took of his kills and stopped on pictures of reaper's death toll; screenshots showing the different news reports of his assassinations, but looking at them he growled angrily gritting his teeth and ended up cracking the device. 'I've slaughtered scores of men, women, and children and this guy gets more attention than ever before and I get forgotten!?' he thought as watts set a bowl of meat, red beans, and meat slathered in a light beige cream.
"you should stop getting worked up over a child Tyrian; salem wont be pleased with you if he dies" he said turning on the TV with the news covering the same crap about Jacque schnee's murder.
"-ound dead in his own home, murdered by the infamous remnant reaper, who's kill streak rivaling the likes of Tyrian marrow. But what we find odd is that this remnant reaper writes very personal and cryptic poems of death, we're all asking the desperate question: will remnant find a way to be rid of him or are we all a target. But there are still reports of people who say that the reaper is just doing what is best for remnant" a channel change and it was another news covering him too.
"the remnant reaper targeted and killed corrupt politicians and council members guilty of slanderous deeds that were released the day of their murder. The question we're all asking ourselves is 'are we safe with this monster running around and will he ever stop? This is CCTV signing off; next up weather conditions worsening near the dragon archipelago and north of vacuo, are they in for an early monsoon or is it just a brief storm to pass, more on this after a short break"
"I think I'll go to bed, playtime makes me tired" Tyrian complained taking a few steps towards the hall when watts stopped him.
"change out of those bloody clothes and clean yourself up, we have a busy day tomorrow, I refuse to leave more evidence of the 'games' you play"
Tyrian looked back at him and smirked "will I get to have fun tomorrow?"
"Not a chance"
vale cental hospital*
"three puncture wounds, major blood loss; two transfusions needed from one jaune arc who's donations failed to have saved the lives of the patient and her unborn child. Death came slow due to lack of oxygen and loss of blood but otherwise could've been saved if..." ozpin said trailing off setting down the copy report from the hospital grimly rubbing his hands over fatigued eyes and had a heavy heart regretting not getting there sooner.
"professor, we found jaune had broken into Pyrrha's hospital room, police want to see you about it" Ruby said flatly it was a shock to hear about Pyrrha and her child almost died but what ozpin wasn't shocked about was that jaune had not only saved Pyrrha but refused to leave her side and it was noble on his part.
"thank you ms.branwen" he said standing to join her down the elevator in silence.
Just as they got halfway down he clicked the shutdown button stopping the ride and said bluntly "I need to know what happened"
She gave him a quizzical look and opened her mouth but was cut off "I don't want the same report I read on your failed mission I want your side of things; you've been far too calm and quiet with this investigation ms.branwen so I'll ask this differently, why didn't you report that the reaper was hunting you and your team sooner" his voice was controlled and flat but the disappointment was evident in his words and demeanor.
for ambiance listen to brighter side of grey by five finger death punch
"head- ozpin...our phones had no service when we crashed; all we could do was lay low until we could find a way to contact someone" Ruby explained feeling a bit uncomfortable with him at the moment.
Pressing the button to turn the elevator back on they rode the rest of the way down and just before the doors opened he said "you and the others are to stay on beacon grounds until reaper is taken care of...for now just do what you can to help your family and friends; please don't be too hard on them, and you may not know this but you need them as much as they need you. Family is more that the water of the womb, remember that."
She gave him a nod running off to her room where the rest of her friends were staying to talk to them 'I have a lot to apologize for' she sighed as she turned into a swarm of pedals flying into her window and froze at the sudden chill she got entering her room.
The ac was on and running on high, she looked over everyone and saw yang quietly crying on her bed, ren and nora were at the table near the little kitchen talking over pancakes, and ciri could be heard sobbing in the shower; she broke down and had been in there for a while.
Regardless of being a teacher ciri broke to losing pyrrha under her guard and geralt hadn't heard anything yet, so admittedly she'd been terrified and cried and screamed so intensly she had teleported in team rwby's bathroom and no one bothered moving her.
Ignoring it, ruby went to her bed and heard weiss sit at her desk, put on some music and grabbed a pencil sitting on a piece of paper and began to draw something while letting the world bleed out leaving her alone in her world as she deftly drew on the page.
After about three or so hours Ruby had been sobbing but reigned it in, then wiped her tears away slowly making her way over to weiss and froze when she saw her nearly finished drawing and vividly portrayed cole sleeping next to Weiss who was on the floor petting him and a sleeping zwei in his arms head on her lap, sun was over Blake's head cheering at the tv, jaune was on the floor wrestling with Pyrrha brightly smiling. yang, Ruby, Qrow and her uncle tai were all playing a video game of some sort and then there was nora and ren sitting on a beanbag chair watching them play eating a plate of cookies happily cheering with all her heart. along the entire page was an area where scribbles were made by a shaking hand that seemed unreadable.
Leaning in ruby noticed weiss' tears soaking the paper as she stopped drawing due to how badly she'd been shaking trying to stop herself from crying any longer but failing. What made her heart break was the title written in jagged calligraphy: best day ever.
Ruby stayed quiet for once and hugged weiss in her arms. and soon enough yang and the others closed in for a group hug not caring for the fact that yang and ciri were in their pajamas soaking wet.
nora and ren were syrup stained and crying themselves. after a moment Ruby burst into tears and said, "I failed you guys, a sister, a friend, and a leader are supposed to be better than this but I was none of those things, i hurt and scorned you all and i-"
Yang let go of her and interrupted her rant "Ruby, it's okay We all messed up" she wiped her sister's tears away and continued "I messed up, you were angry with us, and we lost Pyrrha...but remember what Qrow said at cole's funeral?"
Ruby shook her head letting more heavy tears fall on her lap, "sometimes bad things just happen, things like death happen and we cant stop it from coming." She looked up at yang and she continued "we all hurt cole, you were right to do what you did, but that doesn't mean we made it any better for you; summer wouldn't fault you for being angry for losing him"
Ren put a hand on her shoulder and said "I don't know where we go from here but I do know that we will be here for you; family sticks together through hell and back again right?"
More tears fell from her eyes as she choked back sobs and hugged him "you- you guys, im so so sorry..." she trailed off sobbing her heart out letting out all of her emotions until they all eventually fell asleep on the ground yang holding Ruby and weiss. ren held nora in his lap sleeping.
Ciri gave up on discretion and teleported to her room designated to her as a teacher and didn't bother getting dressed or dry off as she went to bed and cried to sleep. "I failed as a teacher...I failed you geralt"
Everyone cried out their hearts and soon enough decided on a cuddle pile to comfort each other.
if the song is still playing I'm sorry but it's the best I could think of to evoke emotion with my story for flair
valeian police department*
Jaune sat in the interrogation room cuffed to the chair staring into the room silent and unresponsive. on the other side of the glass stood a detective and ozpin, Both watched jaune sit there not making a sound as he shook hiccupping silently ignoring the world around him.
"we found him sleeping in ms.nikos' hospital room and when we found out who he was we had him arrested and had you called" he explained handing oz a cup of coffee and took a long sip of his letting out a stifled yawn.
"I don't believe he deserves to be arrested for visiting his loved one in her time of need, don't you agree detective?" he asked strolling towards the door but the detective stopped him.
"he hasn't spoken since we found him, I doubt you'll have much better luck"
Ozpin simply hummed and left the room to speak to his student but to his chagrin jaune didn't so much as flinch when oz walked in holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a key in the other.
Before he sat down oz put a third chair under the door knob and uncuffed jaune speaking softly "jaune, I'm going to be blunt and confess something to you"
This got a rouse out of him and looked into ozpin's eyes and held his gaze for a moment before spacing out again. "when Glynda was hospitalized in the breach I abused my power as headmaster to stay by her side until she got better so I don't blame you for wanting to be with Pyrrha"
Uttering her name broke something in jaune and struck him out of pure rage on the old man's face, his headmaster no less. Lifting him against the one way window he growled in his face "don't you dare speak her name you manipulative, conniving, fucking snake" he darkly spoke as his eyes shine with tears streaming down his face, "you knew full well what we'd have encountered out there and you let. It. happen. You, headmaster ozpin knew we were being targeted by the remnant reaper and you didn't so much as send someone with us" he seethed throwing ozpin onto the table "cinder started this out in the open with the breach, cole went rouge, ironwood let that bastard leave imprisonment, Mr and Ms rivia betrayed you and your inner circle, reaper killed my best friend and took not only my girlfriend but also my unborn baby to make me suffer for mistakes I made against someone else, and now im in this room because I refused to leave her side?! You all have no Idea how hard im taking this!"
letting his rage simmer for a few seconds he watched ozpin rise to his feet and straightened his outfit up dusting himself off "I believed you and the others would be able to handle him with rayla when she joined in but I overestimated you all, but I understand your in pain and using me as your emotional yhrashing bag helps i get it i know how painful it is to lose people...and now Pyrrha is gone; Let me make it right"
jaune lashed out against him jumping over the table punching him in the cheek as hard as he could but quickly found himself against the wall face first with his arm behind him and ozpin pinning him to it.
"I will forgive you for trying if you just calm down and think this through" he said pushing him to stand on his toes. "I've made more mistakes than you could possibly imagine but remember who your in here with; your not the first to go through hardships so just calm your senses and take a breath"
Just as ozpin released jaune the door to the room burst open revealing four cops pointing Tasers at the duo. "FREEZE, PUT EM UP NOW!" the detective snapped.
"stand down officers, he's my student and therefore my responsibility; I'll pay the fine and replace the chairs and table now let us out" he said standing in front of jaune protectively.
Taking his word they awkwardly left the room with jaune by the arm and walked him right out the front door glaring at them as if to warn them if they did anything stupid.
As jaune felt he felt ashamed for what he did and felt worse realizing that ozpin bailed him out of jail and had Glynda driving them to the hospital. He jumped to a conclusion that ozpin was to blame when it wasn't, and making things worse was a fools choice and helped no one in the long run.
Both men made it outside to a rain soaked parking lot when Glynda stopped the car in the front and approached him after getting out and opened his door helping him out the backseat. "jaune, please don't take actions like that against your headmaster again. you aren't the only one suffering" she said gently hugging him and walked him inside to Pyrrha's room and asked "do you need anything" standing with him at the door, he wiped his eyes and walked in towards her bed and lied down with her not uttering a word and began to cry in her shoulder. 'love is so easily taken from those trying to survive in this world' she thought walking out towards ozpin's car joining him back to beacon tower.
"I love you Pyrrha nikos" jaune whispered kissing her lips and softly as possible before going to sleep.
"How many more students have to get hurt for us to act oz!?" Qrow's younger words echoed in his head as he started the
car driving back to beacon.
Ozpin's grip tightened around his steering wheel feeling frustrated and guilty for everything that he had done and realized there was some truth to everyone's words when they had yelled at him.
"looks like I need to make things right" he said parking his car and tossed the keys to Glynda ignoring her calls to clear his head.
Soon after Glynda drove off a dark figure slammed into the road of the freeway from above and quickly shining a bright red bolt the figure's hand shot a red ball of crackling energy that struck the hood killing the engine and setting it aflame.
As it flipped upside-down the figure stepped aside watching it spin and slide to a stop a few meters away. Thankfully Glynda was unharmed but a little shaken from the crash.
Looking around she spotted the boots of her assailant and blew the door off and threw herself out of the way of another incoming bolt that sailed over her head sizzling in the asphalt.
Thinking on her feet she used her semblance to grab hold of her attacker but gasped seeing her restricting ozpin who stood there struggling to move "Glynda ...what's wrong with...you its me- ozpin, let go argh!"
Hardening her gaze she strolled over to him and said "if you are ozpin then tell me something only he'd know!"
Her 'grip' on him tightened around his body as he coughed and groaned against the strain "f-for your 28th birth...day I gave you... a deathstalker's stinger, -ACK...but y-you got angry with me and threw...me out your window, and when your parents met me they called the cops...and i... gaaaahhh- told them I didn't know-" falling face first to the ground Glynda grabbed him and threw him aside just as she was sent barreling into a truck from behind with an audible crack without a chance to scream out while hitting the ground knocked her out.
"Glynda, no!" oz cried out running towards the figure and jumped to kick the mystery man, but as soon as he got close oz got shot in the chest so hard it knocked him off the bridge. as soon as he went over the ledge a bright red bolt struck him in the chest and burned a hole straight through,
Whatever happened after, ozpin couldn't remember nor did he have time to. All he'd seen was a flash of red and everything went black.
"both targets are taken care of; moving in to confirm kill" the armored figure said. "Unfortunately the woman escaped"
