Chapter 2
What did I say back then 'all in all a good reincarnation' Goddammit jinxing prick. I think to myself as I currently stare at an unconscious Weiss currently tied up in the back of what I assume to be those flying helicopter plane hybrids, bullheads I think they were called. I am also bound, but unlike Weiss, I woke up earlier, however I there seem to be some people back here with us so I haven't moved, so they should still think I am unconscious.
Now how did it all go wrong you may ask? Well it started a few hours ago. You see it is Weiss' 5th birthday, mine having been a month before. We were walking around Atlas' capital with a guard, because I promised Weiss that I would buy her anything she wanted, and she said she wanted me to spend the day deciding with her. While we were walking around, she was holding my arm giggling and suggesting this and that, basically we were just having some fun. When we turned the corner, following the guard into an alleyway the next thing I knew I was being knocked unconscious; luckily I had stayed awake enough to see the culprit.
"Explain why we don't just fuckin' kill these Schnees?" A tall, slightly skinny man asks, spitting on the ground as he stares back at us, clear disgust in his voice.
"The ransom money fuckface, why else do you think I haven't slit their fuckin' throats yet?" the guard from before says, his hands are tied, but it's clear he's a plant. He's probably there to calm us if we wake up, being a familiar face we believe we can trust.
Hearing their conversation I am currently jumping for joy, even if outwardly I look unconscious. If I had not been so secretive about my training, after realising how much Winter had to go through for pursuing her dream of going to the academy, these guys might have known I would know how to fight and keep a concealed knife on me at all times. Unluckily I haven't been able to unlock my aura, but from what I know, aura is typically unlocked by others, or through a time of extreme stress. But I've been practicing with weapons, and if anything from my previous world is to go by, I'm quite skilled. I may be best with swords because I have been using Winter's practise sword, I practiced with knives as well. At the very least I have technique down, even if I'm not physically as good as these guys so I might be able to get out of this, but if they have aura I am done for, I can only hope they wouldn't need to have guys with aura kidnap kids.
"You know what why do we need this fucker again, isn't he adopted or some shit?" Skin and bons had apparently been getting more and more agitated with just being near us as was getting up to kick us, before the guard rushed to grab him.
"Calm down Justin!" The guard shouts, grabbing him before he could connect with me.
"Calm down? How the fuck am I meant to calm down when these fuckers are whats wrong in th' world? How can you even stand being near them, they cut your fuckin' ears off!"
"Calm? You think I'm calm!" He shouts, pushing the man back so he collides with the seats on the other side. Taking a breath, he continues. "I'm waiting til the moment I can gut these fuckers like a fish and feed to the grimm, but we need to wait." He says, his teach grinding as he speaks clearly holding back his rage. Unlucky for them, they were already too loud.
"Iwa?" A sleepy Weiss asks, slowly sitting up, rubbing her eyes. A quick movement tells the guard got in his 'captor' position.
"Where are we?" She asks, slowly realising she doesn't recognise the environment. Panicking she notices the restraints on her wrist. "Where are we!" She shouts as she crawls over to me. "Ira! Ira wake up!" She shouts louder, pronouncing my name as she begins shaking me awake.
"hmm? Weiss?" I ask, putting on my best just woke up act, I perfected during my school days. "Why are we in a bullhead?"
The kids are waking up, Borus got into position just in time, the boy seems oddly calm, as if he woke up from an afternoon nap. Now that I see him, he while he looks similar to the girl, they don't look related. His eyes are sharp and bright red, almost shining, while his hair is more silvery grey than light blueishwhite, it has a slight lick up, just above his left eye, causing his forehead to be seen and the hair falls to the left and right of his left eye. The rest of his fringe falls flat, almost reaching his right eye, looking both refined and wild at the same time. The girl on the other hand, with the icy white hair and light blue eyes like all Schnee is already panicking, tears streaming down her face, enough for the both of 'em, she'll be fun to kill, I can already see the fear in her eyes. And I bet the boy'll crack if put on some pressure, maybe smack him around a bit.
"Shhhh. We don't want to make him mad; we don't know what he wants. We shouldn't draw attention to ourselves." Seems like Borus is playing the part.
Weiss slowly moves her gaze from Borus to the Ira, who puts his hand onto her head, ruffling her hair.
"It's fine, they probably just want to ransom us, don't worry I'm here Weiss."
(I need to keep Weiss calm.)
Hmm the boy is smarter than I thought, too bad he'll be dead when he realises what's really going to happen after we get the money.
"Oh? And what are you gonna do brat, or have you not realised your situation." I say, picking up my rifle and sword we were supplied with.
(What the hell is with this Thug A vibe with this guy?)
"Please they are just kids, leave them be. We will be quiet." Borus says, giving me a look. Too bad I don't feel like stopping, damn fucking Schnees.
"Shut the Fuck up." I say, pushing aside the kneeling Borus. "So kid, what the fuck are you going to do I say as I grab his chin to force him to look into my eyes.
Calm.
His eyes showed no hint of fear at all. Wait what is that he has….
"This."
Okay, he didn't have any aura, the knife went straight through his neck. It's odd, while in my old life I killed someone, it was only in self-defence, but I was haunted by it until myself died, every night I'd have nightmares about what happened. Now that I think about it, I haven't even thought about it since coming here. Even now, I don't feel anything seeing this man lie on the floor bleeding and dying. It's probably just the adrenaline.
"Wha..What did you do!" Shouts the guard, I never did catch his name.
"What did I do?" I ask innocently as I walk over to him. He backs away and comes to the metal side of the bullhead. "This." I say bluntly, plunging my knife towards his neck in the same fashion as before, not showing any motion before already moving my knife, thank you Bruce Lee and your non-telegraphed punch.
"Ira!" Weiss screams, has she just been pretending to mispronounce my name? I think as I look at her.
"Everything is alr…..
Dopahn!
"…..ight?"
What was that? I ask myself as a loud noise hurts my ears for a few seconds before I suddenly feel cold. Looking down, I realise I'm falling forward, managing to put my hands out before I fall, I feel something stinging on my left thigh.
Blood? Wait, why is there blood? Is that mine? Then I feel it, the pain of having a hole in my leg, apparently I was shot.
"Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit!" I repeatedly curse out as I look to the source. A man, no I guess Faunus would be more accurate to say as I look at him, a small, single antler that looks shaved down sits on his head, wearing some armour covering his upper chest.
"Oh? The kid had a weapon Bhahahah! Stupid fucks for not checking." He says as he taps the rifle on his shoulder, luckily I'm able to remain calm enough to realise it's a type of lever action carbine.
"Ira!" Weiss runs over to support me as I try to stand up, it's warm, I don't know how, but my body felt warmer when she came over. It felt weird, but it was nice, like having a bath after going your whole life showering.
I glare back at the man, who only further laughs, "its fine Weiss." I say, my tone seems a little more rough than usual, shocking the girl, though nothing too major.
"Oh scary look you got there kid, I think I might piss myself." The man says, pulling the lever of his gun as he walks over to us, still laughing.
"Leave us alone!" Weiss shouts, grabbing my knife and standing in front of me, glaring at the man who becomes serious for a second, glaring back.
"Oh you want to have a go?" He says setting his gun onto his right shoulder."Bhahah." He laughs again, annoying Weiss who runs at him.
BAM
Before she knows it he kicks her in the side, sending her against the chairs to the side, the dagger roles to just in front on me.
…..
I feel a surge of something warm run through me, only know it's on fire, as if my blood is boiling, as if begging me to release it as I stare daggers at the laughing man, who isn't even paying attention to me anymore, walking over and kicking the unconscious girl.
Then it happens.
Something within me just snaps, as if a dam had burst I ran, grabbing the dagger as I make a mad dash towards the man, my would not even registering, I see a some black circles make a path towards him, as I step on them I speed up, each one making me faster than the last, I tackle the man in the side, plunging the dagger into his side. We shoot forward a good meter or two and hit the door he came through. Yanking the dagger out I stab again, this time his neck, then his stomach. Again and again, again and again, until finally I stop. Getting up and running over to Weiss I check to make sure she is fine, she doesn't seem to have any external injuries, but her ribs could be broken she needs a hospital. Looking around I notice a door, running through it still grabbing my knife, not even sparing a glance for the now mangled flesh I see a cockpit, and another man driving. I feel my blood boil and press my knife against his jugular and say calmly,
"Where are we?"
"Huh?" He says, not even registering what is happening, before feeling the cold steel press harder against his throat drawing a drop of blood. "Vale, we are in Vale."
"Beacon, now." I say, my tone sharper and colder than the blade. Beacon is the academy for huntsmen, they should have the best doctors around for treating injuries.
Reaching Beacon, it looks exactly like how I remembered I think as I tell him to lower into the courtyard, we are already surrounded by students with their weapons drawn, should cause enough racket to get someone important to show up.
"Good." I say stabbing the man in the neck calmly, as if I was doing something normal.
Opening the back door, I rush to grab Weiss and carry her outside, luckily I have been training and have so much adrenaline running through me right now.
"DOCTOR! MEDIC! NURSE! ANYONE PLEASE HELP US!" I shout as loud as possible, shocking students which are basically trained killers. The sea parts and out comes a younger Ozpin, still carrying his coffee mug he is followed by a younger Glynda and a team of medics and some stretchers, why they were there, I don't know, but I didn't stop to think.
"She's been injured, maybe internal bleeding and broken ribs, please she needs assistance!" I plead as I gently set her on the stretcher.
"Don't worry young man; she will be healed before she even wakes up." He says calmly and softly before taking a sip of his coffee.
"Thank…" Before I could even finish, I had collapsed, as if hearing she would be fine made my adrenaline fuelled body collapse like a puppet that had its strings cut.
