~~~Enemy HQ~~~
It's been a few days since the heist on the boat when they stole the equipment from Atlas. Things however seemed to have quiet down since then. Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, And neo been spending most of their time at Beacon Academy. A place they offered The Stranger to come back. Learning he did work there for a short time. He declined for obvious reasons. Reasons that Only Roman knew. And Roman had a plan for it, he just had to bide his time and wait for the perfect moment, Knowing that one slip could screw everything up. But he had to wait.
~~~Streets of Vale~~~
Meanwhile, The Stranger was at town square. Mostly hiding off the side as he watched a presentation of the tech they stole. Most importantly was the mech. He was having doubts. His new thing pendant was done. But he did feel like he should pay back his debt. It didn't feel right though, Almost as if they were waiting for something. He didn't trust any of them, granted he didn't trust anyone at Beacon either. As he was watching the presentation he noticed a few Familiar faces. One belonged to Ruby and the other is someone he didn't know yet she looked familiar. She was wearing a mint green dress with a beige blouse with Neon highlights, Orange Hair and Green eyes. With long black socks. He didn't recognize her and he still didn't know who she was or where he's seen her face before. He continued to ignore them and focus on the assembly.
Eventually he got bored and started walking away. He walked a good bit away. Eventually going into an Alleyway to have some time to be alone... or so he thought as he Seen a few recognizable faces run into the alleyway. He hid behind a corner of the wall and listened, He didn't hear much but he heard the voice of Ruby Rose, And he knew all too well that he couldn't avoid what was going to happen now.
Ruby eventually got out of that Dumpster she was thrown into no thanks to Penny, and was getting ready to leave when she heard a someone behind her clearing their throat. "I didn't take you for a dumpster diver." The Stranger said.
"Alfred... is that you?" Ruby asked upon hearing the voice.
"Maybe. It depends. Did you believe my name?" he replied.
"What are you doing here?" Ruby asked.
"Well. I was trying to hide. I figured the best place to hide was in town. Mostly because I wanted people thinking I left it," He answered as he leaned up against a wall. "But apparenly I'm a bad hider."
"You were gone for months..." Ruby said
"And someone found me." He interrupted. "And now you've found me."
"Oh..." Was all Ruby could say. Her mind was just fuming with questions that she was too afraid to ask. Meanwhile the Stranger heard something and started leaving. By the time Ruby has noticed. He was aready gone.
As he was walking away. He knew what he heard. He heard it before, a sound that he knew all too well. It wanted to contact him, It wanted to kill again, He just kept on walking and ignored it. Knowing that if it wanted to kill. It was gonna do what it can to get out.
He eventually arrived back at the Villians headquarters
"It's about time you showed up." Cinder said as she walked upon the catwalk.
"Went for a walk." The stranger said as he stood in the middle of the Warehouse.
"We have a job for you tonight. A bit last minute But Roman has requested that you and Neo meet him at a White Fang assembly tonight." Cinder said. The stranger was confused a bit by this. He knows Roman hates his guts and is afraid of him. So he knew this was weird and Roman has something planned for him. What it is he doesn't know.
"Where is it?" He asked.
~~~Empty Warehouse~~~
"Sorry I'm late." The Stranger said upon arriving at the warehouse. "Got caught up in I don't really give a fuck about you street, It was a nice place." The stranger said as he walked past Roman and Neo who were waiting for him too arrive.
"Good to know you have a sense of humor." Roman said sarcastically. "And you're not really late. It's going to start in a few minutes, Though I've been curious..." Roman said. looking at The Stranger. Whom in regards already knew what he wanted to ask.
"If you're thinking there is a way to control it, Than you're out of luck, Meditation didn't do shit to control it, Science didn't do shit to control it, Everything I tried to do never worked. The thing is just pure rage. Hellbent on death." The stranger said as he was watching from behind the scenes of what appears to be an orientation of some sorts of both new White Fang recruits as well as some current memebers. Some of which looked familiar to him.
"I see. well my next question. Do we have anything to worry about?" Roman asked. There wasn't much but there was some fear mixed with hope in his voice.
"I hope not." The stranger replied. Ten Minutes have passed and the ceremony is begining to which another member of the White Fang got up on stage and welcomed everyone before he went on to Introduce Roman. To which he and the Stranger walked out on stage to the Ire of the crowd. With someone asking the question. "What are humans doing here?"
"Glad you asked deary, Now I'll be the first to admit, Human's are the worst, Case and point. So I understand why you love to see us all locked away or better yet... Killed. BUT, before the claws come out I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy, The ones who control, the ones who pull all the strings, the dirty rotten humans that run our kingdoms, government, Military, and the Schools. They're all to blame for your lot in life." Roman responded to which he started to get cheers from the crowd. Excluding Blake and Sun who noticed a man who looked familiar in their eyes. "And they're all pests that need to be dealt with. Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around, no offense to any rodents are in the room." He said as he unveiled the mech that they stole. "As some of you may heard, this right here... is Atlas' newest lineup of defense against all the scary things in the world and thanks to my employer, we managed to snag a few before they uh... hit the shelves... Now many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation down in the south east. If you'd rather stay within the city That's fine. But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in This is the arsenal I can provide you... Any questions." Roman said to the crowd cheering him on to which he asked the new recruits to walk forward which most of them did... Until he and the Stranger noticed a couple that weren't and other members already were leaving the room. The Stranger got a bad feeling about this as Roman was looking at Blake and Sun and started to point his Cane at the Stranger.
"It's a sad thing. When you have to execute a plan a little too soon." Roman said as he shot the Stranger and launched him into a wall. Which caused it too crack as he fell onto the floor. The new recruits started panicking and trying to rush to someplace they could Hide as Blake and Sun realized who that is. and started coming up with an escape plan but it was too late. Neo snuck up behind him and stabbed him in the heart. Making the Stranger collapse. Before anyone knew. He started to turn, His frame getting larger once more, becoming 9'5 once more, His skin shedding off revealing Moldy green scales underneath, His mouth extending and his teeth grew sharper. His nails turning into claws. Tailbone becoming an actual tail, and his eyes bursting open as they were now Yellow. The members that were at the docks that day realized it now. Including the one who held the ceremony... This man was the beast they saw slaughter them. Blake had the idea to shoot out the lights but before she could. She made eye contact with the beast and made a sudden realization... It remembered her.
OH boy I love being a dick sometimes. HAHA oh boy. yep you guessed it. Another Cliffhanger, And just when things we're getting interesting too. I'm sorry but I gotta stay true to formula that RWBY has settled and that's always end every episode with a cliffhanger... Now regarding Neo... I know I can't really defend her but... Dude she's my waifu. Anyway, We're nearing the end of the BlazBlue/Grimm Eclipse Story arc to which (Don't judge me. I have ideas.) there will be a beach special. Then Volume 3. so enjoy.
