The screen began to bubble and boil as the familiar silver door rose from it's depths, the thick purple chains corroding and breaking apart as the door opened up and bathed everything in dark purple.
From the tainted light, came a single red eye that glared at the screen before the door slammed shut and everything became static, a crumbling rose symbol appearing every so often as the title began to form.
The Ruinverse: Chapter Forty One, Spiked Coffee.
Xxxxxxx
-Remnant, Sanus, Vale, Beacon Academy-
Smoke…so much smoke billowed into the sky as the once great castle known as Beacon burned to the ground, several black 'spots' dotting the ground like mold.
The screams of survivors were cut out every few seconds by a loud childish yet maniacal laugh as the sun began to be blotted out by the smoke.
It was chaos.
And Cardin Winchester, currently still in the castle and trying to get the flames off his school uniform, was the cause of it all….well, sort of.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! AH!" he panted while coughing every few seconds, the smoke restricting his lungs as he felt his skin burning from the hot embers. 'SHIT SHIT SHIT!'
Now for those that are wondering, why is Beacon burning and why is Cardin Winchester considered the sorta cause of it?
Well…..it started as a prank, a simple bragging between teammates. All under the premise of 'seeing what would happen' to the 'loon' of Beacon if his favorite drink was contaminated.
Contaminated by what you might be asking?
Three words. Rapier Wasp venom.
"Ah! Ah! AH! COUGH!" Cardin coughed while trying to find a way out of the burning building, his vision obscured by orange and black hues. "COUGH…w-where is the exit!? COUGH!"
CRASH!
Broken beams of flaming wood fell on the ground as the former leader of Team CRDL ran around like a chicken missing it's head, terrified and alone.
All the while the maniacal laughter became closer and louder with every step the teen took.
'SHIT! I need to get out of here, NOW!' he thought before seeing the main entrance way in the distance, the sweet smell of fresh air giving a momentary relief from the suffocating smoke. "Y-YE-COUGH!"
But as he ran towards the safety of the outside world.
BAM!
Something hit him across the back, causing Cardin to tumble out of the burning building and hit the statue's base with a heavy thud.
"GAH!" he cried out while blood dripped from his forehead, a deep gash having formed from the collision as a loud 'ZIP' like sound rang in his ears.
ZZZZIP!
ZZZZZZIP!
ZIIIP!
"Ow….fuck-"
"Hahahaha!" chuckled the maniacal voice as Cardin's heart stopped momentarily in fear.
"Nononononononono! Not him!" the student panted with fear as he turned his head and saw the assailant that destroyed Vale's only Huntsmen Academy.
That being a tall pale skinned man with short messy semi spiked green hair, brown eyes, opaque round glasses, wearing a disheveled white long sleeved shirt, a slack yellow tie, dark green pants and brownish black shoes, whose hands were covered in blood as he held his weapon, a flamethrowing club, in his left hand and was grinning with childish sadism.
This was Doctor Oobleck…and he was the result of Cardin's 'prank'.
As Cardin tried to get up, he noticed the doctor wasn't in his original position-
BAM!
And instead was right next to him as he smacked him across the face with the club.
"AH!"
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
In quick bursts of pure speed, the doctor kept on smacking the student across the face, breaking some of his teeth in the process as the green haired man laughed.
"Isn't this fun? I'm doing a hole in the one!"
BAM!
BAM!
"AH!"
"No! You were supposed to go baaa! Bad sheep! Bad!" he yelled while slamming the club into Cardin's chest, breaking his ribs slightly in the process. "No sheepdogs for you!"
Cardin panted heavily before seeing the doctor's right hand grabbing his shirt and grinned.
"My name is Bartholomew Oobleck and." he said before throwing the boy upwards and slammed the club against his skull.
CRACK!
"I." the man said before quickly picking Cardin up with the tip of his club and began spinning around like a top. "Hate!"
"AAAAAHHH!" the student screamed before getting sent flying into the air once more, part of his skull caving in from the previous attack as the club transformed into a flamethrower.
WOOOOOOOSH!
"WHISKIES!"
And in an instant, the body of one Cardin Winchester was set ablaze, his body screaming in pain as he crashed to the ground, rolling a little in pain before Oobleck, his weapon now in it's club form, slammed the butt end of the weapon into his skull.
BAM!
Instantly crushing the bone and brain into itty bitty pieces as Oobleck smiled with twisted delight.
"That was fun! Like after parties…but without the after." he chuckled before seeing several more students trying to run out of the burning castle. "Ooooh! More Grimm tidings!"
And in a flash, the man vanished and appeared near a student's left side, the club colliding with the skull as everything went black.
"BOOBIE ARE BIRDS!"

Semblance(s): Unknown.
Bio: In this timeline, Cardin Winchester, in a moment of brash arrogance and stupidity, aka bragging to his team about his own skills, he decided that Doctor Oobleck's voice was way too annoying and kept giving him grief. Thus, he decided to spike the man's coffee to see the results, not realizing that the drug he used, the deadly venom of a Rapier Wasp, while yes it could knock out a full-grown adult in small doses, in a large amount and deluded in caffeinated grounded coffee bean extract, can cause a person to enter a hyperaggressive high that, depending on the person, could either last a few seconds or an entire day. The latter occurred as Doctor Oobleck began massacring the students and staff with his increased speed, burning Beacon to the ground as his mannerisms began to reflect that of a strangely familiar voice, one only seen in the RvBverse. Upon 'waking' from the drug induced high, Doctor Oobleck became remorseful of his actions and decided to hide away from the world, feeling like he did nothing but destroy the lives of thousands, as the world, without it's Huntsmen, started to decline, the population seeing Huntsmen as evil and began persecuting them in fear of them causing a massacre like Doctor Oobleck. In summary…don't drink spiked coffee kids, it leads to terrible things.
