After the incident with the beowolves, Vladeks way through the forest went undisrupted and so the students had lost focus on the screen and started talking instead. "So, what do you think?" Jaune asked. "I´m not sure," Phyrra stated. "All we have seen so far, was his fight against the beowolves. He took them out pretty quick, but it could´ve been a lucky shot. If the rumours are true and professor Ozpin wants to make him the fifth member of a team, I would like to see more." "What more?" Weiss asked cold. "He was lucky and his landing was even worse than Jaunes. He´s just a big guy with a big weapon." Nora had already fallen asleep, while Ren focused on the screen. "Maybe he still has one or two surprises," he said calmly.
Without anything in his way, Vladek got to the ruins. He stopped a few steps away. "Well, this looks important." Before he could move further, he heard a sound, similar to the sound of a large bird. A bit away was a giant Nevermore, about half the size of the one team RWBY encountered. He looked at it bored. "A bird. Too easy." He pulled his weapon out and it started to transform. It took some seconds, but shortly after, he had some kind of cannon or rocket launcher in his hand. It appeared to be shoulder fired. Vladek aimed it at the Nevermore and pulled the trigger. It seemed, like nothing happened, except a small red light, like from a laser pointer appeared. But after three and a half seconds, a loud bang sounded and a giant red laser shot towards the Nevermore and straight through it, killing it instantly. Vladek started to laugh. "Think of it as a laser pointer, that points things... INTO OBLIVION!" He yelled the last two words, before walking into the ruins. He looked around, noticing the relics. "Huh, chess pieces? There has to be more." He stopped in the middle and started to think. "They have a hidden meaning. The knight for speed, rook for defense..." He started walking, looking at each of the chess pieces. But suddenly he stopped and picked a small, black piece from the floor. It was broken and had a long crack in the middle. "A black pawn. Broken, but still useful. A piece with a message. Once at the end, the pawn can become every other piece. Work until your heroes are your rivals. And at the end of the game, the kind and the pawn go back in the same box." Vladek put the piece in his pocket and turned around.
To face the biggest Deathstalker he had ever seen, only inches away. He immediately grapped his weapon and attacked. But his hits didn´t show any effect, the armor of the Deathstalker was to thick. Before Vladek got realize, he had no chance of injuring it, the Deathstalker hit him, smashing him right through a rock.
The students jumped up in shock. This guy had just killed a Nevermore without raising an eye and now he didn´t stood a chance against this Deathstalker. "We need to help him. He will be killed. No one can defeat such a Deathstalker alone," Yang shouted. Everyone looked at the screen, their eyes full of fear, all while the grimm kept throwing Vladek through the ruins. Ruby looked at Ozpin, as if she wanted to ask him for help. But he just focused on the screen. "Come on, Vladek. What are you waiting for? Unleash your semblance!"
The berserc slowly got up, spitting blood. He had his chin on his chest and the grimm got ready for the final attack. His right claw shot forward...
Only to be stopped by a single armored fist. The grimm attacked with his other claw, but Vladek stopped it with his other hand. The gems on his gauntlets were glowing in a bright red. He slowly raised his eyes, his face a masc of pure hate and anger. The Deathstalker treid to attack him with his tail, but a quick step back was enough to dodge. Now the opponents both had their arms full extended. The glowing got even stronger and Vladek let out a scream, no longer human, more like that of an insane animal. With one swift move, he ripped the Deathstalkers claws of, his enemy dropping dead.
It was dead silent in the auditorium. The students had just seen, how a injured person killed a giant Deathstalker with his bare hands. Not one single word was said, until Vladek finally stepped into the auditorium, handing Ozpin the chess piece. The headmaster greeted him with a warm smile. "Welcome, Vladek Svart. Now you´re a student of Beacon. I´ll give you a team, that´ll take care of you, until I know what to do with you." Vladek already turned around, ready to leave. Quiet enough, so only Ozpin could hear him, he said: "Don´t care. Do what you want, headmaster."
