Chapter 16
Ruby
She was in shock, she didn't know it at the time, but she was. It was so bad that she didn't even notice Colin has wings. She just remembered that she had to get to someone, and professor Glynda just happened to be the closest. She ran to her and tried explaining what was happening "In the forest, Colin, Help." Was all she could get out. Glynda told her to get to Ozpin and ran into the forest towards where she had come from. She didn't know where Ozpin was, so she ran to his office. He was sitting in his chair drinking coffee. "She tried to get words out, but all that came out was tears. He stood up and walked over to her. "I need to know what happened." "Cardin took us and Colin got angry, and there was fire and screaming and they are in the forest." She said tears running down her face.
He got up and got his cane then walking into the elevator, bringing her with him. "Ruby, is Colin a threat." He asked seriously. Ruby snapped out of her haze and looked directly at Ozpin. "No never, he has a reason for what he is doing. He is very angry though. "She said. He nodded to himself and the doors opened. They quickly walked out into the main courtyard and turned towards where Ruby thought she had come from, when a gigantic explosion occurred. Then another only louder.
Colin
He was angry, again. But this time it was because professor Glynda had just tried to blow him up. But now that he thought about it he did look very bad, if you didn't have any background information. So his next decision was to incapacitate her so he could explain later, and continue his work. So he turned around and switched to thermal to see through the smoke. Professor Goodwitch was standing about 50 feet away, and she wasn't moving. So he walked, completely silently through the smoke towards her. When he was about 10 feet away he took up a karate stance and threw a punch. This punch was never going to connect, and no serious injury was intended. But what the punch did do was create a huge shockwave and very loud boom. Which hit Glynda like a bus sending her flying, it also completely cleared the smoke.
He nodded and wiped his hands off on what remained of his jeans, then he noticed. What the professor had been trying to do was keep the two idiots safe, because they were missing. He was also missing the fake skin on his cybernetics. He sighed and started walking towards where he assumed Glynda had landed. This was very easy due to the large amount of broken trees and snapped branches. After about a minute of walking he found her. She was in a battle stance, not a very good one. Colin had caused massive internal injuries, not that he meant to. But he did none the less, and he could see it. "Professor, you are in need of immediate medical attention, I apologize for my earlier behavior and promise not to touch the two children until you hear my story." He said stopping about 20 feet away.
She didn't move from her stance, so he went to the more direct option. "Sheila, set shields to 100%." He said walking towards Glynda. She threw all manner of projectiles and spells and explosions at him as he walked forward. He didn't stop, didn't even flinch as he was hit with a massive barrage of spells. The smoke cleared and he was still walking he grabbed her arm and she punched him right in the face. He didn't lose his grip or move but that did hurt. He grabbed her other arm and looked her right in the eyes. " I don't care how angry you are, you are going to die from internal bleeding if we don't do something now. So you are coming with me." He said unfolding his wings. "You are a monster." She spat at him. He said nothing and pulled her as close to him as possible, then took off. He made sure to pull enough G's to knock her out, so she didn't try to kill him while he was flying. He rocketed towards the school and was thinking about something very important. He was stopped midair, and Glynda was ripped from his grasp. He looked down and saw Ozpin, cane raised with Ruby and Glynda next to him. He curled into a ball and gathered the force around him, growing in power until it peaked and he quickly went spread eagle, the force exploding, throwing Ozpin off him. His wings went back to work keeping him about 150 feet in the air. "Hey, what's the big deal?" He shouted "You assaulted and killed my students, you need to come down here and have a very good explanation." Ozpin shouted back. Colin fully knew he could not be stopped, but he didn't want to lose their trust so he slowly descended.
"What did you do? You have wings? How are you alive? Are you a robot?" Ruby asked rapid fire. "I haven't done anything to those student except scare them. All of what I have done was an illusion, you will find all of them laying in a field about 300 yards from here." He said raising his hands in surrender. "The scenario that ruby and I experienced was simply that, a scenario." He said putting his hands down. Ozpin looked at him suspiciously. He pointed towards a clearing about 300 yards away. Then Glynda fainted. Colin was barely fast enough to catch her before she hit the ground.
"Go get the bunch of idiots, I will held her." Colin said as Ozpin turned and walked towards the clearing. He Looked over Glynda with scanner in his helmet, massive internal damage. He wouldn't be able to get her to a medic in time, he would have to do this himself. His wings unfolded to full length and his body and eyes glowed white. Hi took his hand and pressed it to her chest. Her body glowed white with his, and she relaxed. (In Glynda's mind) "Hello there professor." He said looking at the woman in white laying on the ground. "What are you doing here?" she asked in an angry voice standing up.
"I am going to heal you, but I have to have your permission first." "No, I would never accept anything from someone like you. Especially after your earlier actions" "If I don't you will die, and how do you think Ozpin will feel about that? Not even your best healer could save you." he said, while he raised a good point, she was still very angry at him by the looks of things. He had no other choice and he brought her back. (Back in the land of the living) Glynda woke with a start, "What are you doing? Get off of me." She shouted at him struggling to get away, but she didn't move far before she grimaced in pain. "You just came back from massive internal injuries, you aren't going anywhere anytime soon." He said picking her up bridal style. "Put me down." She said angrily. "Glynda calm down." Came Ozpins voice from behind Colin. "How are you ok with what he did?" Glynda asked outraged. "He didn't do anything wrong." Ozpin said pointing towards a bunch of medical personnel carrying the 8 student in question.
"What? How? I saw him kill them, he set them on fire!" She said indignantly. "It was all an illusion, none of it was real. Now we need to get you to the infirmary." Ozpin said in a calm tone. Colin nodded and carried her to the infirmary. When she was asleep Colin finally turned to ruby. "I have some explaining to do." He said "Yes" ruby responded. He nodded and followed her back to the dorm.
