Hello everybody! I am The Burning Ruler and I am back with Chapter 7 of Team BAWM. I really like the way this story is going and I hope you guys do as well. On to the story!
Chapter 7: Elemental Rage
The team woke up to a knocking on the door at five in the morning.
"Who could that be?" asked Falcon getting up and opening the door to see Ozpin there.
"Hello Falcon. I am sorry to disturb you and your team at this hour but a package has just arrived from your mother." Said Ozpin, handing him a box.
"Oh. Thank you Headmaster." Said Falcon, closing the door.
"Aw. A present from your mommy." Said Carnel with a smile.
"Shut up Carnel." Said Falcon opening the box. Digging around inside it he pulled out a small box with a golden bow on it.
"Wait. I forgot this at home." Said Falcon smiling.
"How?" asked Alicia.
"No idea." Said Falcon.
"What's in it?" asked Crys.
"No clue. I just found this box in a safe in our basement back home. I had decided that I wouldn't open it until I made it to beacon." said Falcon.
"Well? You are at beacon, let's see what's in it." Said Carnel.
"Alright then." Said Falcon taking off the bow and lifting the lid off the box. "It's a revolver." Said Falcon, pulling the gun out. It had a polished silver barrel, a rubber grip and a full cylinder.
"Huh. The bullets are different colours." Said Falcon. Everyone took a look at the bullets inside to see they were all the colours of dust.
"Weird, but hey. Now you have a weapon you can use from a range Falcon." Said Alicia.
Falcon was about to talk when Carnel spoke up. "Hey Falcon. Can I see that gun for a sec?" asked Carnel.
"Sure." Said Falcon handing Carnel the gun.
Carnel looked over the gun for a few seconds before he got a shocked expression on his face. He snapped his fingers, opened a rift and reached in, pulling out a book. Looking over Carnel's shoulder, Falcon saw every page had a picture of a gun on it. He started flipping through the book, occasionally looking back to the gun before he stopped and compared the gun to one in the book.
"Oh my god…" said Carnel handing the gun back to Falcon.
"What is it Carnel?" asked Alicia.
"That gun… is a Slayer of All…" said Carnel.
"A what?" asked Falcon.
"The Slayer of All is a legendarily powerful gun. Only ten were ever created, but they were deemed too dangerous for mankind, and were destined to be destroyed. However, despite ten being created, only nine were destroyed. One was stolen. That one." Said Carnel.
"So, how did it end up in our basement?" asked Falcon.
"I can only imagine someone in your family was the one who stole it." Said Crys.
"Our dad. It had to have been him." Said Alicia.
"Makes sense. So Carnel. You said these "Slayers of All" were powerful. How powerful?" asked Falcon.
"No idea, but we can head into the Emerald Forest to test it out." Said Carnel.
"Sure, but later. It is currently five in the morning, and I still want to see what Crys was talking about.
"Right. Let's try to get some more sleep." Said Carnel.
"Good night again." Said Alicia as everyone went back to sleep.
Alicia, Crys and Carnel woke up again, to see Falcon still asleep.
Alicia smiled and formed ice water in her hand again.
"This again Alicia?" asked Crys.
"Always." Said Alicia, letting go. However, Falcon's eyes shot open and he held up his metal brick, formed into a curve. The water then landed in the curve and was sent right back to Alicia, dousing her instead.
"AH COLD!" yelled Alicia
"HA! PAYBACK!" said Falcon, getting up.
"That was not funny Falcon." Said Alicia.
"It was to me." Said Falcon, getting ready quickly, as Alicia dried off.
"Alright. Let's get to the cafeteria and see what Crys did." Said Carnel
"Agreed." Said Falcon.
Crys smiled as they got there to see that Velvet was sitting with Team RWBY and Team JNPR. She looked around to see Cardin looking at them. Crys glared back at him, holding up a finger and making it glow, scaring Cardin, and causing him to get up and walk over.
"What did you do Crys?" asked Carnel, seeing that Cardin was coming over.
"You'll see." Said Crys as Cardin got there.
Velvet noticed this and shrunk back in her seat.
"Relax. I'm not here to do anything. I'm here to apologize for what I did to you. You and Jaune." Said Cardin, looking at Crys who pointed down. Cardin swallowed his pride and got on his knees. He bowed low to Velvet and Jaune, causing the whole table to become surprised.
Cardin then began speaking. "I am truly sorry for everything that I have put the two of you through. I have no excuse for what I have done. If you cannot forgive me, I would not blame you in the slightest, however, I hope you can at least accept my humble apology." Said Cardin, not raising his head.
Everyone at the table was still in shock, before Velvet spoke. "Well, Cardin, I can see that you are truly sorry. So I can accept your apology, but I do not forgive you." Said Velvet.
"I'm with her. Apology accepted, but I still don't forgive you." Said Jaune.
"That's all I can ask." Said Cardin, standing up and leaving.
"What did you do to cause that?" asked Falcon.
"Threated to permanently blind him." Said Crys, smiling.
"Nice." Said Carnel.
Team BAWM got up and got some food before returning to their table and eating.
"Hey Falcon. You wanna head out and test that gun?" asked Carnel after they finished.
"I'm down." Said Falcon, getting ready to head out.
"Either of you want come along?" asked Carnel.
"I think I'm gonna hang out around campus with everyone else." Said Crys.
"You want some company?" asked Alicia.
"Sure." Said Crys.
"Alright then. Come on man. Let's get going." Said Falcon, ready to go.
Carnel walked out with Falcon and they went straight to the airships. They boarded one that was heading to town. As they walked through town Falcon was looking around, for an ammo shop.
"I know a good ammo shop nearby. Don't worry about that yet." Said Carnel, already figuring out what Falcon was looking for.
"Good to know." Said Falcon as they got to the edge of the forest. "Here we go." Said Falcon, forming a katana in one hand, and holding the gun in his other hand. Falcon and Carnel walked through the forest until they spotted a beowolf.
"Ok. Let's see what this can do." Said Falcon holding the gun in front of him and pulling the trigger. The gun kicked back a tremendous amount as the bullet left the gun. The bullet entered the Beowolf's head before exploding inside of it, killing the Beowolf.
Carnel and Falcon were in shock. "Holy…" started Falcon.
"… Shit." Finished Carnel.
"This gun is fucking awesome!" said Falcon.
"But, why did the bullet explode?" asked Carnel.
"That bullet was red. Fire dust." Said Falcon.
"There's another Beowolf." Said Carnel, pointing.
Falcon shot the other Beowolf, and when the bullet struck it, the Beowolf froze solid.
"Ice bullet." Said Falcon.
"What's next?" asked Carnel.
Falcon checked the next bullet. "Looks like, Gravity." Said Falcon.
"Shoot the frozen one." Said Carnel.
Falcon fired at the frozen Beowolf, launching it backwards and causing it to shatter against a tree.
"I love this gun." Said Falcon.
"What else you got?" asked Carnel.
"An electricity bullet, another fire bullet and another ice bullet." Said Falcon.
"There's a couple Ursa coming. Try out the electricity one." Said Carnel.
Falcon shot one of the Ursa, and the electricity chained to the other one, killing them both, just as a boarbatusk started charging them.
Falcon panicked and shot the boarbatusk. Surprisingly, the bullet pierced the Boarbatusks armor before exploding inside of it.
"How is that even possible?" asked Falcon sincerely confused.
"I told you the slayer of all was legendarily powerful." Said Carnel.
"You did say that." Said Falcon as the two walked out of the forest.
As they were walking back to beacon, Falcon got a message. He took out his scroll.
"Hm? A message from Alicia. Let's see. 'Hurry back to beacon. I need your opinion on something.' What could it be?" asked Falcon.
Carnel just shrugged, but they hurried back to beacon. When they landed Crys was waiting there for them. Crys brought them to the training room. When they got there the first thing they saw was Cardin's arms and legs iced to the wall.
"What did that moron do this time?" asked Falcon, shaking his head.
"Tried to feel up Blake. Without her consent." Said Crys.
"So, attempted sexual harassment then. Are you just and idiot, or do you have no memory whatsoever?" asked Falcon, looking at Cardin.
Cardin refused to answer.
"Fine. So, why is he iced to the wall?" asked Falcon.
"Alicia wants her turn." Said Crys, pointing to Alicia. She was clearly angry, and there were small bolts of electricity jolting around her body, and she was twitching, presumably from the electricity.
"Is that what you needed my opinion on?" asked Falcon.
"Yeah. How hard should I go?" asked Alicia.
"I say go full elemental rage." Said Falcon.
"You sure about that?" asked Alicia.
"Yeah. It's been a while since you let loose. Go for it." Said Falcon, standing with the others.
Alicia smiled before flexing her hands a bit and approaching Cardin. "You really are an idiot. You would think that after the first attack, you would learn, but you didn't. Three times. You have been attacked three separate times, but you still haven't learned. But I think I may know why. You don't have any scars to remind you. How about we fix that?" asked Alicia, heating her hand up. She lifted his shirt up and pressed her hand to his stomach, burning it.
Cardin began screaming in pain.
"Oh shut up." Said Alicia, icing his mouth over before pressing her hand back to his stomach.
Cardin started to scream once again, but it was muffled by the ice over his mouth.
Alicia pulled her hand back, seeing the deep burn on Cardin's stomach. "There's scar number one." Said Alicia. She then used the water in Cardin's body to force him to bend over. She lifted up the back of his shirt and formed embers all over it.
"How are there glowing embers on his back, but they aren't burning him at all?" asked Crys.
"Oh, I'm forcing all the air away from them. Blake. Do you think he has suffered enough?" asked Alicia.
"Hell no." said Blake without any hesitation.
"Alright." said Alicia, forcing air onto the embers, burning Cardin's back.
Cardin began screaming again, but it was still barely audible.
Alicia put both her hands on Cardin's head, sending small jolts of electricity through his body, evidenced by the random twitches in his limbs, and the fact that his mouth seemed to be paralyzed.
"Alright. Now, the only element I haven't used is earth. How about this?" asked Alicia, forming a huge pillar of stone. She was about to swing it at Cardin before Falcon spoke up.
"You know his aura is just going to block that right." Said Falcon
"Good point." Said Alicia, making the stone pillar disappear.
"What if you had something that went through aura?" asked Carnel, snapping his fingers and opening a rift.
"Are you suggesting…" Falcon trailed off.
Carnel pulled out Honey Badger before closing the rift again. "Here Alicia, how about you take a swing at it." said Carnel, tossing Honey Badger to her.
"This'll work. How many swings I get?" asked Alicia.
"How many do you want?" asked Carnel.
"I got it. Cardin. You have a lot of new scars, but to make sure you remember this, you need to feel a lot of pain, and there is one sure fire way to make sure you feel pain." Said Alicia.
Alicia took a few practice swings before nodding. She pointed the bat downwards before saying "Batter up." She then swung the bat as if it was a golf club, making it collide with Cardin's crotch, Cardin's eyes widened and there were tears visibly forming in his eyes.
Carnel and Falcon immediately cringed. "Oh god! What the fuck Alicia?!" asked Carnel, covering his crotch.
Alicia just smiled and swung again.
"God stop this madness!" said Falcon.
Alicia seemed to think before speaking. "One more." Said Alicia, swinging again.
"Stop!" yelled Falcon.
"Alright. He won't forget this anytime soon." Said Alicia, unfreezing Cardin's arms, legs, and mouth causing him to fall over.
"Alright. I think he learned his lesson." Said Alicia, giving Honey Badger back to Carnel. "Thanks for letting me borrow this."
"Um sure. Anytime." Said Carnel, snapping his fingers, putting it back into his rift and closing it.
Crys left along with team RWBY. Carnel and Falcon were about to leave, but Carnel shouted back to Cardin.
"If you need some painkillers, hit me up." Said Carnel before leaving with Falcon.
"I did not expect that." Said Falcon.
"At least maybe now he'll get the point." Said Carnel.
"One can only hope." Said Falcon.
"It's getting pretty late." Said Carnel.
"Yeah. Let's head back to the room." Said Falcon.
Once they got back Falcon pulled out a book and sat on his bed, while Carnel layed down on his. Not long afterwards, Alicia and Crys showed up.
"Alicia. You are twisted." said Carnel.
Alicia just shrugged. "He set me off. I retaliated. That's all." Said Alicia, sitting on her bed as well.
"Hell of a way to retaliate." Said Falcon.
"You said let it all out, I let it all out." Said Alicia.
"Alright. Fair enough." Said Falcon.
