Chapter 4 – These are some very odd Faunus?
Adam strolled across the stage, his arms behind his backs as he addressed the roaring crowd. He looked out in arrogance at the surrounding people knowing they were all here to join their cause in bringing humanity to its knees. The field just outside the walls of the major city was a perfect place to hold this recruitment.
Adam waved an arm out dramatically, gesturing as though to the whole world.
"have we not suffered enough at the hands of humans? Too long how we sat by silently as our brothers and sisters have died around us due to human hands, no longer!"
The large crowd cheered in response, caught in the atmosphere that Adam had created with his ongoing speech.
Adam smirked, more recruits were always necessary if he was to make all those pesky humans suffer and once all these fools joined up, it would be impossible for them to leave unless they wanted to wind up dead. It had been a while since his last performance and was pleased to see he hadn't lost his touch.
Waving his hand towards his men they began to wheel out a large crate, his special surprise that would be the nail he needed to have a large portion of the Faunus won over to his side.
"we need to not just fight these humans but to destroy them will everything we have with the same mercy that they've shown us. Ladies and gentlemen, behold just one of our latest weapons the laser rifle mark 2!"
People whispered in excitement as the bizarre weapon, made of coils and tubes the weapon was extremely large to carry and had Adam lurching to one side.
Pointing the gun to the sky, Adam readied myself for the recall before pressing the trigger. A single orange stream of energy was shot out into the sky, electricity crackled in an impressive display of power. Unable to withstand the recoil any longer Adam stopped firing and lowered the weapon as he tried to regain his breath.
The crowd cheered as was expected from such a display and Adam raised his fist in celebration along with the rest of the Faunus.
"now who wants a go at trying our new toy?"
Adam scanned the sea of hands, he needed to pick someone who would represent the faunas the most in this final demonstration. A turtle faunas maybe? They tend to have more physical features than most of there kind…. How about…. Ah now there 2 would be perfect.
"you two there, why don't you have a go at this"
Pulling themselves onto the stage the two rabbids clumsily made there way over to where Adam was. Waving at the crowd as they went, they grinned madly at the crowd's cheers.
Raising an eyebrow Adam looked at the daft creatures in amusement.
What kind of faunas where these supposed to be? They where far too short and cuddly to be of any use to him as soldiers, though from the puppy eyes they were getting from the crowd that might work in his favour still.
Trying to keep up appearances Adam gave a strained grin and tried to help the poor rabbids.
"now just hold the gun and aim. All you have to do is pull that trigger ok?"
The two rabbids jumped around in excitement "bweh bweh!"
Taking a deep breath, Adam clenched his fists.
"Eh, yes, now the gun please?"
Looking at the forgotten gun both rabbids raised there arms and begun to lift the weapon with great difficulty. Wobbling and forth the rabbids kept getting crushed underneath it to the amusement of the crowd.
" bweeeeeh!" "hahahahahaahha"
Adam almost fed up with there shenanigans marched on over "listen here I am leader of the Faunus and I expect you to take this more….. wait no stop don't!"
Oh no oh no oh no, Adam rushed to grab the gun.
The stupid rabbids had aimed the gun at the ground. "Bweh bweh, BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH"
The rabbids were lifted 100 ft into the air screaming as they went, which would have been fine if not for the laser. As the rabbids wiggled around the laser blasted its way into the crowd, people screamed in panic.
People dived out of the way as it nearly sliced them in half.
"AAAAAAAAAGGHHHH"
Cars, equipment and the surrounding area were all quickly cut in half and set on fire, Adams men hid behind whatever they could find, and the crowd ran for there lives dispersing into the streets.
"Damn you! You've ruined a perfectly good recruitment opportunity as well as my reputation!" Adam raised his sword
"Shoot them down already!"
Rounds of ammo ricocheted off the gun and the two rabbids screamed in terror. Slamming there hand against the weapon the two rabbids looked for anything to make the thing stop.
BEEP
"BWEEEEEEHHHH BWEEEEEH"
The laser end began to heat up before exploding in a cloud of flames. The rabbids shot up like rockets right past the incoming airship.
….
…
"Well Adam, I came here to see your progress, but I didn't except it to go so well. Look at all these new soldiers you were telling me about"
….
…..
"Cinder… shut up… I just…. Need few moments… to get over the fact that those TWO RABBIDS DESTROYED EVERYTHING!"
Collapsing onto the what was left of the stage, Adam stared blankly at the surrounding destruction.
Cinder looked at the destruction more critically, if the rumours were as true as they say these rabbids could cause the mayhem she definitely wanted. Cinder grinned evilly at the idea.

Hey know its been a while since last chapter but have been busy with work. Should be much higher update once April starts though. I thought it'd be interesting to see what Adam would think of them and I'm planning on using Torchwick for next chapter due to Cinders interest. If you got any ideas or improvements just mention them and ill look into it.
