Team BAWM Chapter 5, a rwby fanfic

Ch. 5: Trap King

I do not own RWBY, RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P.) nor do I own any media that may appear in the story. I only own the OCs, Enjoy! Remember to Favorite, Follow, and leave a Review. This is Nightmare 6-4, throwing out the hottest collab with The Burning Ruler and RebelKira.

"Let's get some sleep." Falcon said as he threw himself into bed, Carnel stood by the door and looked at the room of beds and people but felt uneasy "Y'all go ahead, I'm going to go take a walk." Carnel said before he left the room, Falcon tried to remind him of the curfew, but he was already gone. Falcon looked over at the other beds and noticed that Crys was also gone "Oh well, I can only do so much." Falcon said as he opened his book and read to himself.

Carnel walked down the hall and exited the dorm, he made a beeline toward the air docks where an air ship was docked. He boarded the air ship and took it to Vale, as he was stepping off the pilot yelled to him "Hey, flights stop at 9pm." The pilot said, Carnel shot him a thumbs up as he walked down the boulevard. As Carnel walked down the street, he pulled out his 1911 and pulled back the slide to chamber a round before he put it back into his waist band.

Carnel pulled out his scroll and messaged Diam 'Aye bro, how are things there? You want to come out to Vale to rage for a bit, I got accepted to Beacon Academy. I was thinking of setting up shop here and rebuilding the distribution routes, I also think we should work with Third Street since they got us out gunned.' Carnel typed before he sent the message, he got a reply in a matter of minutes.

'Fo sho! I'll be there in a minute, that's dope shit about Beacon! I heard you can beat the shit out of people and not get arrested, we can't join Third Street, but we can make an alliance.' Diam said through the text. Carnel looked up as the wind started to blow and air crackled around him, a pool of blue liquid formed on the ground as a large man rose out of the ground. The man stared at Carnel intensely.

"Carnel, I have come for your soul!" The man said, Carnel laughed "Diam, you know I sold that shit a long time ago." Carnel said as he wrapped his arms around the man, the man gave Carnel a large bear hug. Diam let Carnel go and the dealer gasped for air "Shit, I forgot how tight your hugs are!" Carnel said as he gasped for air.

Diam laughed a hearty laugh "It is hard to believe that you are the feared Cerberus of The Undead of Atlas." Diam said as Carnel stood up straight and shook his head "Right, so we going to do this damn thing or what?" Diam asked, Carnel nodded "Yeah, let's go drop it on them." Carnel said as he led Diam into the rougher part of Vale.

Carnel and Diam walked into an old warehouse that was packed with people facing a stage with a single person on stage "Alright! Alright! Party people! We now taking all new comers! Who's got the balls to show what they got?!" The MC asked, the crowd looked at each other until Carnel and Diam raised their hands "We want in!" Carnel yelled, the crowd went silent as they made a path for Carnel and Diam.

The two men climbed up on stage and took the mics from the MC, Diam pump faked him off stage. "Yo! Give me a beat!" Carnel yelled into the mic, the DJ in back pressed the spacebar on his laptop, a heavy bass and rock beat came through the speakers as Carnel nodded his head with the tempo.

My Town – Hollywood Undead

Carnel/Diam: This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town!

Diam: Yo, flood the scene, hit the strip, get my fix Got some sniffles in the sack, run this town like a sprinter on the track Come on, lay back to attack in the 'Lac. We ain't cutting no slack, girl, what you know about that? I ain't trying to be your lover, but I gotta say that we can keep it undercover when you wanna play! Blazed up, smoked out, out of my mind We just cruise around my town all the time!

Carnel: When the sun goes down the stars come out like the ghosts of yesterday, so drink 'em down 'cause some things never change. Baby, sing it loud, we ain't gonna fuck around When the sun goes down let me hear you say!

Carnel/Diam: This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town!

Carnel: If the city never sleeps, then, fuck it, neither will I! You know we keep it thirty-deep and we're as high as the sky. You can watch us thirty-creep as we just ride, and we ride You can watch the Fiesta drop from one side to side, we're breaking the boulevard 'cause we get it better. If ever you need to find me, bitch, you can send me a letter! Forever drunk and disorderly off this vodka I'm pouring me Goddamn, man, I want it all, my city of glory!

Carnel/Diam: This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town!

Carnel: The streets you walk give you a reason! 'Cause it's all you got and that'll never change. So, keep singing that song and we can live forever! Pour a little out for the ones who passed away.

Carnel snatched a bottle from a guy in the crowd and pour it out on the stage.

Carnel/Diam: This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town! It's my town, it's my town, it's my town! This is my town!

The crowd cheered wildly as Carnel and Diam looked out over them, the MC came back up on stage "Alright! Give it for these two guys, who are you?" The MC asked the duo, Carnel and Diam looked at each other "I'm Cerberus and this is Hades." Carnel said, the crowd cheered wildly. "Alright, you think you got another in you?" The MC asked, Diam nodded "Hell yeah!" Diam yelled with enthusiasm. A heavy drum and guitar came through the speakers combined with some aspects of dubstep.

Usual Suspects – Hollywood Undead

Carnel: I think I've lost my mind. I think I've lost my mind. I think I've lost my mind. I think I've lost my mind.

Diam: Woke up one morning on the Sunset Strip with a half-smoked blunt and some blood on my lip. Hit up Loraine for that Mary Jane. Man, all she had left was Menage a Twang. Rolled in the Pink I picked up some Cuervo, walking sideways and I'm starting to swerve-o Last night was wild, blew my money at Jumbo's. Wine and dine, tig ol' bitties and bimbos. Hollywood rat pack, cans in my backpack, cruise through your valley and I'm snatching your snapbacks. Huffing on some paint and I think that I'm half-black. Roll another blunt and fuck it up over this track.

Carnel: I think I've lost my mind but I'm feeling so alive. What a pity, it's so pretty, looking through the bars and I see my city. I think I've lost my mind Yet I'm feeling so alive What a pity, it's so pretty Looking through the bars and I see my city.

Just then a man in a black hoodie walked up on stage with Carnel and Diam, he raised his own mic up.

Black Hoodie: If everybody gotta be everything they wanna be I don't think I'd see you bitches sitting right in front of me. You can tint the windows, packing up the pistols, this bitch was talking shit 'bout my Hollywood hits, so... You can come west but you'll never be West Coast. Doping on these motherfuckers deep in the DeSoto Oh no, tell me what you wanna be You could be anything but not another Three. I'm a holy roller, slow blunt smoker. The mask on the page of a wanted poster Look into my eyes and tell me what you see, the wickedness in you is the wickedness in me.

Carnel and Diam looked shocked at what they were seeing.

Black Hoodie: How did I let this happen? This life I can't get back from This fully loaded magnum, if you got some questions, ask 'em. I turned into a madman like Dahmer mixed with Manson. I'll take this song for ransom, make you scream my fucking anthem. I'm knocking at your door, I'm pacing back and forth. You better board up your windows 'cause I'mma start a war or maybe I'm just tripping, this weed has got me spinning Undead until I die so when I die you know I'm living!

Carnel's jaw mentally dropped as he figured out who the mystery person was.

Carnel: I think I've lost my mind. I think I've lost my mind. I think I've lost my mind. I think I've lost my mind.

All: I think I've lost my mind but I'm feeling so alive. (Diam: I think I've lost my mind!) (Black Hood: OH WHOA!) What a pity, it's so pretty, looking through the bars and I see my city. I think I've lost my mind but I'm feeling so alive. (Diam: I think I've lost my mind!) (Black Hood: OH WHOA!) What a pity, it's so pretty, looking through the bars and I see my city.

When the music ended, the crowd went ballistic, the MC was speechless "Who are you?! You guys have to be a band or something!" The MC yelled, Carnel laughed as the three got off stage. Carnel escorted the man in the black hoodie in to a blind spot.

"Alright, who are you?" Carnel asked as he pulled out his pistol, the man pulled his hood off "You gonna shoot ol' Red?" The man asked, Carnel put his pistol away and wrapped his arms around the man "Oh Red! We were wondering where you went!" Carnel said as he hugged his pusher. Red laughed "I was making a drop here when you told us to lie low, I heard you two up on stage and realized you were singing one of our anthems, so I jumped up on stage to give you a sign." Red said, Carnel sighed a sigh of relief.

"Well, this duo just turned into a trio." Diam said, Carnel looked at his Lt. and Sgt. while in thought "You want to go break up some trap houses?" Carnel asked the two, Diam and Red grinned "We thought you'd never ask." Red said as he pulled his hood back up.

Carnel and Diam followed Red out of the club and down the road, they then hooked a right down an alley way and moved out of sight. Carnel opened a Rift and pulled out two Mossberg 550s, he handed them to Diam and Red along with a box of shells each. He reached into the Rift and pulled out a black hoodie, a black ski mask, a black bandana, and a pair of black gloves. He zipped the hoodie up over his black shirt and pulled the black ski mask on over his head, he tied the bandana around the bottom half of his head to cover his mouth.

He pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on inside the ski mask, Diam pulled on his own black ski mask and black gloves while Red tied a bandana around his mouth and covered his nose.

Red guided them down the alley and across the street "Cops don't touch this part of town since they are dealing with the White Fang." Red said as he led them up to run down house, Carnel opened the Rift again and pulled out an AK-74, he pulled back the bolt and chambered a 7.62 x 39. Hardcore rap played from within the house as they approached the front door, Carnel held up three fingers and counted down silently until he reached zero.

Diam lifted his leg up and kicked in the door, the rap music was no longer muffled by the door when they ran in with their weapons raised.

Hey knock knock! Yeah I'm knockin on the bank do' Three hundred million dollars and I'm droppin off the cash flow. See ye ain't heard I hit a lick, now my money right. Spend it on the U-Haul, dippin on the turnpike! Call up my dogs! (dogs) Rag on my face! (face) Bodies gon' fall (fall) tell em it's Ace (Ace) If I catch a charge, nigga I'mma flee the state! Hit my niggas L.A. Reid and Khaled, watch me beat the case!

Four men jumped up and raised their pistols at the three undead "Break yo self, mother fucker!" Red yelled as he raised his Mossberg, Carnel raised his AK and pointed it at the men "We got you out gunned! Drop the straps and get filled!" Diam yelled, the four men were hesitant at first but Carnel spoke up "We're offering you mercy, hell we'll take over operations and bring you four on board, how does that sound?" Carnel asked as he extended an olive branch, the four men looked at each other and lowered their pistols.

"Good choice, this shit ain't worth losing your life." Carnel said as he walked toward the four men "Who do y'all trap for?" Carnel asked the four, one of them stepped forward "The Sanus Serpents." One of the men said with fear in their voice, Carnel raised his hand and had the two undead lower their weapons.

"Right, how far is their reach?" Carnel asked, the same man shook his hand "Only Vale, it's a small operation." The man said, Carnel pulled out his scroll and projected a map of Vale "Show me where." Carnel said, the man pointed to the industrial district of Vale. Carnel nodded and looked over his shoulder to Diam "Call Ghost up, tell him we got work for him." Carnel said, Diam nodded and pulled out his scroll to place the call.

"Right so I want you to contact the other Trap houses and let them know that they're under new management. I don't want this to get bloody but if it has to, we won't hesitate." Carnel said which caused Red to cock his Mossberg.

The man grabbed his scroll and sent out a mass text 'We're under new management.' The man typed but stopped "Wait, who are you with?" The man asked, Carnel chuckled "The Undead of Atlas." Carnel said which caused the man to go pale "Uh yes sir. Right away." The man said as he continued his text 'We're under new management of The Undead of Atlas.' He typed before pressing send.

Diam walked back over from the corner of the room "It's done. Ghost is moving in as we speak." Diam said, Carnel nodded as he looked at the product on the table "So what y'all pushing?" Carnel asked the new dealers, they looked at the table "Well we got weed, coke, pills, molly, crack, angel dust, PCP, heroin, and meth." The man said, Carnel nodded "Right well we don't fuck with meth so that shit stops here, same with heroin and PCP. We ain't trying to fuck people up that much, and a new rule is no selling to students unless it is just weed." Carnel said, implementing a new rule.

He stared at the four men "If I find out that anyone sold to students, I will come back and break that persons fingers slowly." Carnel said, the four men nodded as one sent out another mass text. Diam's scroll dinged before he opened it and read the message.

"Alright, he's done. We now control all of Vale and parts of Atlas. Congrats sir." Diam said as he put his scroll back into his pocket. Carnel reached out his hand to the four men "Welcome to the Undead. Dealers take a 30% cut." Carnel said which stunned the four new dealers, Carnel looked at their stunned faces "What did you make before?" He asked the four men, one cleared his throat "We only made 10% before." The man said which shocked Diam.

"Don't worry, Cerberus treats his people right and makes sure they're all good. He just asks that they don't harm anyone innocent, either violently or sexually, that they show him respect, that they don't betray him, and that if they are to do anything, they run it by him first." Red said as he explained the principles of The Undead.

"Right, we need to get your names." Carnel said as Diam pulled out his scroll to write down their names.

"I'm Ray, this is Cedric, third is Bones, and fourth is Stephon." Ray said as he introduced everyone, Carnel nodded "I'm Cerberus, this is Hades (Diam), and that is Belphegor (Red)." Carnel said as he introduced everyone, Carnel looked down at his scroll and saw the time "Alright, we got dip but meet at the industrial district this weekend for a formal introduction." Carnel said he picked up a pound of Blue Dream off the table, he turned around and led the others out of the house.

As they walked into the dark of the night, Carnel couldn't shake the feeling he was being followed "Man that seemed way too easy, I figured it would end in a blood bath like in Atlas we crushed that trap house." Red said laughing but Carnel didn't say anything, Diam looked at him "What's up?" Diam asked, Carnel pulled up his AK and spun around, he had the barrel pointed right at a woman's face.

"Crys, why the fuck is you out here? Get back to Beacon!" Carnel yelled at the woman as he lowered his rifle, she bolted past the three men into the night. Red looked at Carnel confused "Friend of yours?" Red asked confused, Carnel nodded his head "I forgot to tell you, but I got into Beacon, their headmaster said 'I had potential' I don't know what he was smoking but fuck, three hots and a cot. Shit, the place has got endless tail, too." Carnel said as he opened a rift and placed his AK inside along with the two Mossberg's.

"Alright, I'm going to head back to Beacon. I suggest you two make like a tree and get the fuck out of here." Carnel said as he started to walk away, Diam nodded as he snapped his fingers and a blue puddle formed around his feet. Red latched onto him "Harder daddy." Red said as he wrapped his arms around the LT. "Oh shut up!" Diam said as the two sunk into the ground and left Carnel alone in the street.

Carnel pulled his ski mask and bandana off along with the hoodie, he tossed the clothing into a Rift before he closed it again. He made his way to the air docks and boarded an air ship, he sat back against the wall as it took off into the sky. After flying for what felt like five minutes, the air ship landed and let Carnel off onto the Beacon campus. Carnel walked down a sidewalk and sat down on a bench in front of a statue, he snapped his fingers and opened a Rift, he reached in and pulled out a silver briefcase that he sat on his lap before he closed the Rift again.

He opened the case and pulled out a small glass pipe, a small grinder, and a small bag of weed, he placed a bud into the grinder and twisted it repeatedly. He took the lid off and packed the bowl tight, he reached into his pocket and fished out a lighter, he sparked the lighter and ignited the bowl, he ripped the bowl and held the smoke in before exhaling slowly. He slowly felt his body become weightless as the effects of the Blue Dream took effect, he felt his muscles relax as he put the bowl to his lips again and ripped another one before putting the smoke kit back into the Rift.

Carnel slowly walked back to his dorm building and sauntered down the hall, he turned the knob and walked inside the room. Alicia was fast asleep, Falcon was still reading, and Crys was missing, Carnel shrugged and walked over to his bed. When his body hit the bed, it felt like he had jumped onto a giant fluffy cloud, he quickly slipped into a deep sleep.

*The Next Day*

The light passed through the windows as the sun came over the horizon, Carnel pushed himself out of bed and onto the floor. He put his arms underneath him and assumed the push-up position, he did approximately thirty push-ups before he went to take a shower. He stepped out of the shower and rubbed the scar on his neck as he looked at himself in the mirror, he pulled on his boxers, gym shorts, and uniform pants before he opened the bathroom door.

He looked back at himself in the mirror once the steam cleared, he rubbed the scar again but this time with an audience. "How did you get that scar?" Alicia asked as she observed from outside the bathroom door along with Crys and Falcon. 'You too, Falcon?' Carnel thought to himself as he looked at his three teammates.

"I got my throat slit by a rival syndicate but luckily my boys had my back and were able to get me taken care of." Carnel said, Crys and Falcon cringed slightly at the new information while Alicia stared in amazement. Carnel pointed to his upper right arm where there was a large burn running up his arm "This is from a meth lab explosion, Meth is highly volatile and when cooked in what is called 'Shake n Bake' which involves putting the ingredients in a two-liter bottle and shaking it violently, if done incorrectly, it'll explode." Carnel explained as he pulled on his uniform shirt/suit thing.

Carnel snapped his fingers and opened a rift, he reached inside and pulled out a jar of hair gel; he popped the lid open and scooped some light-blue hair gel out, he mixed in his hand and ran it through his hair. He raked his hair back and spiked it up, he placed the jar back into the rift and snapped it closed.

Afterward, Carnel walked out of the bathroom and grabbed his stuff from the desk, he grabbed his necklace and put it around his neck. After a while, the team left for their classes; Port rambled on about what it takes to be a huntsman and asks who has what it takes to be a huntsman. Weiss raised her hand and Carnel immediately tuned out as he put his head on the desk and closed his eyes, after a while, he was jolted awake by Port clapping and Weiss walking back to the locker room. Port looked around the room "Does anyone else have what it takes?" Port asked, Falcon slow pushed his finger into Carnel's armpit which caused him to raise his arm as a reaction.

"Mr. Melone, come on down!" Port said with enthusiasm, Carnel glared at Falcon who looked around the room. Carnel stood up and walked down the staircase to the main floor, a caged Beowolf snarled from within a cage; Carnel snapped his fingers and opened a Rift. He reached in and pulled out a black AK-47 along with a pack of AP 7.62mm rounds, he loaded the banana clip before he put it into the AK and pulled back the bolt.

"Mr. Melone, are you not going to change?" Port asked confused but Carnel shook his head and gestured to the cage "Go." He said as he held his AK, Port brought the axe down on the lock and unleashed the Beowolf onto the main floor.

The Beowolf charged at Carnel who cracked it in the nose with the stock of the rifle, the Beowolf backed up as Carnel unloaded into its chest and dropped the Beowolf onto the ground, he jumped onto the Beowolf and snapped the stock into the Beowolf's throat until the class heard a snap. The Beowolf exploded into black smoke and dissipated, Weiss scoffed "What a savage, how did you even get in to this school?" She asked the dealer, Carnel opened his Rift and replaced the AK back into his Armory. He spun around and faced the girl in white "Well missy, I didn't train at a prestigious academy, I sold drugs in Atlas. I fought tooth and nail just to survive the night sometimes while you slept soundly in bed, I went whole weeks without food while you had a four-course meal. I got to where I am by clawing my way through and crash landing in the right forest." Carnel said, Weiss scoffed as Carnel started to walk away but stopped.

"Wait, your last name is Schnee right? Is your brother Whitely?" Carnel asked, Weiss looked at the man "Yeah, why?" She asked confused, Carnel chuckled "Whitley bought weed from me once!" Carnel said, laughing to himself as he walked back to his seat.

Alicia looked at Carnel "Did you really sell to her brother?" She asked curiously, Carnel chuckled lightly "Yeah but I sold his shake but told him it was hydroponics." Carnel said laughing to himself. The rest of class went by at a crawl, the next class was combat class and Carnel was looking forward to it.

*1 Hour Later*

Carnel sat in the back with Crys, Alicia, and Falcon as they watched Cardin beat down Jaune Arc "Man, it's hard to watch this." Alicia said as they watched Jaune take hit after hit, Carnel shook his head "I need to help this guy somehow." Carnel said to himself as Cardin delivered the final blow and reduced his aura below red, as Jaune is pushing himself back up, Cardin drives his knee into Jaune's gut "Cardin! That is enough! Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match. Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your Scroll during combat. Gauging your Aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?" Glynda said as she continued her lecture, Cardin walked away slowly but muttered a snarky remark "Speak for yourself." Cardin said as he walked back to the bleachers, Carnel stood up "What was that Cardin?! I couldn't hear you with all that cock in your mouth! Take that dick out and speak clearly!" Carnel yelled from the bleachers, Glynda shot him a death glare.

"Mr. Melone, watch your mouth!" Glynda yelled, Carnel looked at her "Nah, I'd rather watch yours." Carnel said with a wink, Glynda got even angrier "Why don't you shut up, criminal scum! Or I'll call Atlas PD on you." Cardin said holding up Carnel's mugshot.

"How the fuck did you get that?" Carnel asked in a deathly serious tone, Cardin shrugged "Does it matter? Why don't you go kill yourself, like your dad did after he killed your mom." Cardin said, that was it, that was the final straw.

"Miss Goodwitch, can I please beat Cardin's ass? If you do, I promise not to make any more sexual comments around you." Carnel said, with his fingers crossed behind his back. Glynda sighed "Very well, go get ready." Glynda said as Cardin took the floor.

Carnel walked into the locker room and opened his locker but found it empty "Oh that's right, I never loaded my locker up." Carnel said, mentally smacking himself. He snapped his fingers and opened a rift, but this time he only pulled out a large trunk.

He opened the lid and pulled out his gear which consisted of a pitch-black hoodie, black cargo pants, steel toe boots, and plated gloves. He tossed his uniform into the locker and pulled on the cargo pants, he strapped on the tactical belt that had a holster on it. He pulled on a black t-shirt before he put on the hoodie and zipped it up, he pulled on the gloves and tightened them around his wrists.

As he got ready, music cut through the speakers of the arena

Yeah, you know, technically I'm not even really supposed to be here right now. So, fuck it, might as well make the most of it (Amen, Amen) Yeah! Ha ha, feels good Guess I'm lucky Some of us don't get a second chance But I ain't blowin' this one Nah, man, ha ha Shit, I feel like I can do anything now.

Carnel grabbed a mask from the box and a long, metal object before he walked out of the locker room. He walked in step with the beat until the first verse started when he walked onto the arena floor.

It's a trap, fuck my last CD, the shit's in my trash I'll be goddamned if another rapper gets in my ass I hit the gas and I spit every rap as if it's my last You can die in the blink of an eye, so bat your eyelashes And keep winkin' and blowin' kisses 'Cause you're flirtin' with death I'm destroyin' your livelihood, I ain't just hurtin' your rep I catch a flow and get goin' No remorse I'm showin', ain't slowin' for no one. Knowin' there's nothin' you can do about it Zero in on the target like a marksman, the target is you I shut your lane down, took your spot, parked in it too Arsenic flow, lighter fluid saliva—what can you do?

Now guess who? (Hey!) Here's a clue (Hey!) He came to the ball in his wife beater, lost his Nike shoe. It's in your ass, (Hey!), he's in your ass He's all up in your psyche too Now, what's his name?

Carnel sat his steel bat down and let the tip hit the floor with a loud thud, he lifted his mask up and pulled it on over his head. The mask was all black with two large black devil horns that curved backwards, he pulled the hood over the back of his head before he picked his bat back up.

Glynda cleared her throat "Mr. Melone, can you please stop this?" She asked, agitated. Carnel pulled out his scroll and pressed pause. "Alright, buzz Killington." Carnel said as he slipped his scroll back into his pocket.

"Whenever you're ready, Mr. Melone." Glynda said, Carnel picked his metal bat up and gripped the handle, he tapped the wooden floor and tested his footing. He looked up at Glynda who was taken aback by the devil mask that he donned "Don't stop the fight, he needs to learn the hard way." Carnel said but Glynda just rolled her eyes.
"Ready when you are." Carnel said which caused Cardin to run at him and swing his mace sideways but Carnel countered it and grabbed the mace by the neck, he placed his foot on Cardin's chest and shoved him away, separating him from his mace. Carnel looked at the mace with interest "Hmm nice." Carnel said before he snapped his fingers and opened a rift, he tossed the mace into the rift and closed it again.

"Mr. Melone! Give Cardin his weapon back!" Glynda yelled but Carnel shrugged "There's no rule against it." Carnel said as he sprinted forward and cracked Cardin in the knee with his solid steel bat, the sound of bone breaking echoed throughout the arena as Cardin fell to the ground and cradled his leg in agony.

Carnel circled the downed man with the bat rested on his shoulder "Hmm this seems familiar, but I seem to remember you striking a certain man when he was DOWN!" Carnel yelled as he cracked Cardin in the side with his bat, the sound of ribs cracking echoed against the arena walls.

Cardin glanced up at the screen and saw that he still had 70% aura "What the hell?! Why does this hurt so much?!" Cardin asked as he writhed in agony, Carnel squatted down beside Cardin and examined his bat "Oh how? That's simple, this is my good friend Honey Badger, and Honey Badger doesn't give a fuck about what your Aura level is. It's special because it'll break your bones even if you have 100% Aura." Carnel said as he patted Cardin on the face.

"So, either you submit, or I beat your aura down, what will it be?" Carnel asked as he circled the downed bully, Cardin tried to speak but Carnel knelt down next to him and covered his mouth "Shhhh. Your silence speaks a thousand words." Carnel said as he shoved a bandana into Cardin's mouth.

Carnel stood up once again and faced the crowd "Alright, back to it." Carnel said as he slammed the bat down into Cardin's gut, the bully spit up blood that landed on the floor. Carnel looked up at the screen "60%, almost there, buddy." Carnel said as he brought the bat down again and again, Carnel stopped once his Aura hit 20%.

He snapped his fingers and opened a rift, he pulled the mace out and dropped on the floor before he walked back to the bleachers. Glynda stood there horrified by what she just witnessed "Mr. Melone, do you have no humanity?!" She asked, pissed off. Carnel pulled his mask off "Do you give sympathy for bullies and racists? Oh wait, you do cause you're the one who sent out my mugshot." Carnel said as he raised the picture of his mugshot and pointed to the bottom that read 'From the office of Glynda Goodwitch.'

Glynda sighed in anger as Dove helped Cardin up off the ground, Cardin dragged his right leg as Dove escorted the brute to the nurse's office. Carnel sat in the bleachers beside Falcon and Alicia while he cleaned the blood off of Honey Badger, Glynda walked into the middle of the room and addressed the class "Class is dismissed." Glynda said before she left for Ozpin's office.

Carnel stood up and made his way to the locker room, he got undressed and threw his gear back into the trunk before he slid it back into the Rift. He kept Honey Badger out of the trunk and placed it in the Rift freely, Carnel walked out of the locker room and rejoined his team along with Team RWBY and JNPR.

An orange haired girl ran up to Carnel "I love you! You actually broke his leg!" She said excitedly, a black-haired man grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away "Nora! Down girl." The man said to Nora, she whined "But Ren! His legs!" Nora said to Ren as they walked to the cafeteria. As Carnel walked toward the Cafeteria, a man with a green mohawk appeared behind Carnel "Melone, I got a bone to pick with you!" The man yelled, Carnel stopped and turned around.

"Oh, another toy for me to play with, I hope I don't break this one." Carnel said as he snapped his fingers and pulled Honey Badger from the Rift, he let it fall and clang against the concrete floor.

"Remember, Cardin was your toughest and he's recovering in the ICU." Carnel said as he spun his bat, Carnel ran forward and swung his bat but stopped two inches from the man's face as he was frozen with fear "Run home to momma, boy." Carnel said, the man turned and sprinted down the hall.

Carnel snapped his fingers and tossed Honey Badger back into the Rift before closing it again, Carnel rejoined his team in the Cafeteria. Carnel rested his back against the wall and sighed in relief, a woman in a brown beret walked up accompanied by Velvet "Man what happened to Cardin?" The woman in the beret asked as she addressed the table, Carnel raised his hand "Yo." He said nonchalantly as he rested his eyes.

The woman sauntered over to him and placed her hands on the table "Seems you know your way around a bone." The woman said which caused Carnel's eyes to shoot open, he looked over at her and looked her up and down. "Well, if you want I can give you some private lessons on how I got so good." Carnel said as he flirted back, she lowered her glasses "Well, I might just take you up on that offer." She said seductively, Ruby piped up "Can you show me too?" She asked but the whole table shut her down with a resounding "No!"

"I'm Coco." The woman said in a soft, sexy tone as she extended her hand. Carnel took her hand into his "I'm Carnel." Carnel said as he looked up into her dark glasses. "So, about that training, are you free now?" Coco asked, Carnel stood up "I'm always free." Carnel said as he followed her out of the cafeteria.

The three teams looked at each other confused "What the fuck just happened?" Ruby asked confused, but Yang looked at her "I'll tell you when you're older but damn am I jealous." Yang said which caused Alicia to blush as the thought rushed her head.

*Six Hours Later*

Carnel walked out of Coco's dorm room and pulled his shirt on over his scratched up back, he unscrewed the cap on a bottle of water and chugged it as he walked back to his dorm. He opened the door and tossed the now empty bottle into the trash can, Falcon was in bed reading his book while Alicia was on her scroll, Crys was gone yet again. "Hey Falcon, want go smoke up?" Carnel asked as he snapped his fingers and pulled out his kit, Falcon shook his head not looking up from his book.

"I will." Alicia said but Falcon cut her off "No you won't." Falcon said as he shut her down, Carnel shrugged and left the dorm to go outside.

Carnel walked out and sat down on the edge of Beacon and looked over the edge as his feet dangled over the edge, he opened the kit and pulled out his bowl. He smacked it against his hand and let the burnt bud fall, he opened the grinder and packed the bowl tight again. He fished his lighter out and put the bowl to lips, he sparked the lighter and ripped the bowl hard.

He held the smoke for quite a bit before he exhaled the smoke, he coughed a little before he ripped another one. "Is that all you do? Do drugs and have sex?" A female voice asked from behind him, he pulled himself away from the edge and stood up with his kit in his hand.

"Well Crys I'll have you know I also mug people." Carnel said sarcastically, Crys stared at him "So why were you out in that area last night?" Crys asked, Carnel ripped another bowl "I could ask you the same thing." Carnel said before he exhaled slowly.

"I asked you first." Crys said, Carnel shrugged "Fuck it, I was taking over a trap house and took over distribution for Vale. Now, why were you out there?" Carnel asked, Crys looked at the ground "Promise you won't say anything?" She asked nervously, Carnel outstretched his arms "Crys, I live by the code of the street. Snitches get stitches." Carnel said.

"Fine, I'm looking after two children who are living in this run-down house out that way." Crys said to the dealer, Carnel nodded as he understood "Hey, I got connections, so I can have that house fixed up and someone there to be their guardian as well as armed guards." Carnel said but Crys shook her head "Thanks, I'll keep it in mind, but I want to keep it under wraps for now." Crys said.

Carnel shrugged as he put his bowl away and tossed it back into the Rift. "So why do you smoke Marijuana?" Crys asked as the two walked back toward their dorms, Carnel put his hands behind his head "Well it helps me cope with my mind, I look fine on the outside but on the inside, I haunted by dark thoughts and suicidal thoughts." Carnel said which made Crys stop in her tracks, Carnel turned around and looked at her "What's up?" He asked, Crys walked up to him and grabbed his hand "Promise me that if things get bad, you'll come talk to me, Falcon, or Alicia first. Please, don't hurt yourself." Crys said as tears started to form in her eyes, Carnel chuckled as he wiped the tears from her cheeks "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything brash." Carnel said as he patted her on the head.

Crys wrapped her arms around Carnel's waist and hugged him tightly, Carnel rubbed her head lightly. Crys let go of Carnel and the two walked back to the dorm but Yang was waiting for him outside the dorm room "You. Me. Special Training." Yang said as she grabbed him by the arm, Carnel turned around and looked at Crys "See you in the morning, I guess." Carnel said before he was pulled into a dorm room.
