RWBY belongs to Monty Oum
Chapter 3
In a high building in the city of vale were three man surrounded with nothing but pools of blood of more than 30 man, the windows of the floor they were had been completely destroyed revealing the view of the night with a full moon.
The 3 survivors were behind a protective barrier that would negate every kind of shot.
"With there is no way you can get us you bastard!" shouted one of the guys with no one in particular since they were the only one alive in floor.
"Guys really? A protective wall? Why don't you just answered my question and you can keep your heads intact…. Unlike your other friends" said a voice that sounded robotic thought all the room.
"Fuck you, we wont tell you sh-" one of the 3 now 2 couldn't complete the sentence as a bullet hole appeared all the way though his head.
"How?" asked one of the 2.
"That shot should have been impossible there is no way you could have made that kind of shot." Said the other one.
"Oh really, lets taste it with you now." Said the voice.
"Wait wait wait! We will tell you what you want."
"Good boy, now I want you to send me all the information on the vip list that you bastards have stored for today."
"How the hell do you e-" and then 2 became 1.
"I am losing my patience plus shouldn't I be the one making the questions? I am gonna send a number to your scroll, send everything there " said the voice as the last man scroll began to sound.
Not wasting any time the man did as such and begun the transfer.
"You do now that the orders had already been given correct, there is nothing you can do." Said the man as the transfer was completed.
"That is for me to decide, thanks for the info as promise I wont put a hole in your head." said the voice
the man stood up trebling in fear waiting for shot in his head but nothing happened.
"ha ha hahahahaha he kept his word fucking foo-" and then 1 was 0 but not from a gunshot but from an explosion not just in that floor but the whole building.
In a building a couple of blocks away was a man wearing a black cloak with an electronic mask on his face with a red glass (The mask of the prophet in crisis 3).
He looked at his scroll and began to saw the list.
"Well, it is gonna be one big long ass day" said man with the same robotic voice while looking at the list, and the last name of said list was a certain heiress.
It was 7:30 am according with the clock in the dinning hall of beacon academy.
Many of the student were still in bed except for a few and among those few were in a table a blonde wearing the uniform of beacon or at least only the pants and shoes since he was wearing a white button shirt and his signature jacket and wearing sun-glasses, also in the face table was a man with white-grey hair with a green scarf and sun glasses looking at the blonde in a serious manner and lastly but still important a little puppy sating on the table between the 2 looking at both with concern.
"I am gonna ask again, where are they Drake?" asked Ozpin as Drake just continues eating his pancakes which in his opinion were as good as always.
"I have no idea what you are talking about professor, you should taste this they are very good." Said Drake as he finished another one leaving a decent amount to lambert that began to eat happily.
Ozpin gave a sigh in frustration; he went to the cafeteria since the only coffee that wasn't decaf was there but still not good enough.
"Why are you up so early by the way, you don't have class until 9 if I not mistaken."
"Well, I had woken up every year since I had been helping in the academy at least at 5:30 am, I guess my body is just to it. But I also came here early because after I finished my breakfast, I was gonna go to your office."
"for what?" asked Ozpin while he drank from his mug.
"Since you said yesterday that you sent some huntsman to the cave and retrieve the contents, I was wondering if I could use some and the engineering room that is only available to 3th grade students."
"What are you gonna create this time?"
"Not for me but for lambert."
"Oh really and what might that be?"
"You are gonna have to wait and see professor." Said Drake as he patted lambert who had just finish his pancakes, he then noticed that his dog was looking at other side.
He looked at the direction Lambert was looking at to see RBY standing in the other side of the dinning hall, Ruby was waving his hands at him while the other 2 just looked at him as if trying to figure out something.
Drake retuned the greeting of Ruby waving his own hand making Ozpin turn back to see who was his apprentice greeting, Ruby noticed Ozpin and also greet him as did Yang and Blake, he turned to look back at Drake with a questioning look.
"What happened?" asked Ozpin noticing the looks Black and yellow were giving him.
Drake gave a sigh and stood up "Nothing important do not worry, about my petition"
Drake was interrupted at the tv in the dinning giving emergency new.
Both master and apprentice looked at the tv.
"The reports of autopsy of the bodies that were found in the building that exploded in the red district of vale, the dental record of the bodies confirmed that all of the bodies belonged to members of the 2nd must dangerous mafia family in vale, all of them except for one were already death before the explosion except for one, the cause of death of those bodies was a bullet that went though their heads.
In the morning after that incident there have been found several bodies with the same hole in their heads and burned bodies and counting, if anyone knows or heard about this please contact this number. "
"Drake." Drake turned to see a very serious Ozpin.
"I will grant your petition, but I suggest if you have something to do in the city you leave for another date." Said Ozpin as he also stood.
"Have a good day gentleman." Said Ozpin to both Drake and lambert.
'It has been a long time since he had that face, I have a bad feeling about this.' Thought Drake as he began to exit the library ignoring the 2 girls that were looking at him.
He headed to the library since he still had time to go there before he had class.
He entered and immediately went to the weapon development section, since he had been here several times, he already knew where to look for.
He picked a book about the construction of modern weapons since he just knew how to forge a singular type of weapon with only one function.
After the incident in the forest he had decided to give lambert his own weapon, one that would change size depending of the form lambert was, it could come handy, one never knew.
His thoughts were interrupted as he heard someone sitting next to him looking at him straight at his glasses.
"You know, it is not good to read with dark glasses."
Drake didn't turn to see who it was since he didn't want to made contact with her.
"What can I do for you miss Belladonna?" asked Drake still reading the book.
Blake frowned at the way he called her, such formality and coldness at the same time.
"I told you o drop the formalities." Said Blake in a soft voice as she sat looking at the table and putting her own book in the table.
"I am sorry, but I have decided to drop all familiarity with all of you since yesterday`s incident."
She looked back at him at that feeling sorry knowing that perhaps the words that were exchanged by the 4 were not the best especially since him had kept her secret.
"I am sorry ok, I know the way I no we approached was not the best but still we were curious not only did you beat an s-class Grimm by yourselve but also that your dog is- "
Drake closed his book with enough force to silence her.
"Miss Belladonna, do I need to remind you that we are in a library and must keep your voice down." Said Drake as lambert who was sleeping In the head-gear had woken up and landed in the table looking at Blake with puppy eyes, he got closer to her looking at her amber eyes.
"Listen, I do not see a monster, I see someone that helped us in the forest." Said Blake as she began to stroke lambert without fear.
Drake watched with his eyes at was happening in front of him.
"There is more that you want to ask isn't it?"
Blake looked at him in worry.
"You remind me to someone know and I care deeply, he always used a mask to cover his eyes, with time he began to change and became someone I could no longer recognize, yesterday in the hall I had the very same feeling I had with my friend."
She stopped petting lambert and looked at Drake who wasn't looking at her.
"He used the mask so that no one could see his eyes, full of the lack of emotions, only anger and hate, I don't want to see someone else going though the same."
She raised her hand to touch his face but he stood up and took his book.
"I am afraid I have to go miss Belladonna, you should go as well it is 8:05 we have class in less than an hour. Let`s go lambert." Said Drake as lambert raised his hand saying bye to Blake and then began to walk to the exit.
'if he keeps like that sooner or later he will break down.' Thought Blake still wondering why his aura changed of color.
Drake had exit the library and headed to his classroom, knowing full well that no one would be there.
"Lambert go to our room and avoid been seeing, I will get you later" said Drake petting his trusted friends and the he left.
Meanwhile in team rwby's room Yang sat in her bed while Ruby was in the bathroom thinking in the events that happened yesterday.
She felt anger every time she recalled the event, anger at Drake and herself for not controlling the situation as she should have.
'Why the hell did he had to react that way, if he didn't have anything to hide besides.' Those were the thought of Yang but she was more angry for the fact that he had run and fought that Grimm on he own.
Her thought were interrupted when she saw Blake entering the room with book in hand with a sad face.
"Wow, who did the author kill in that book that made you put such a face."
She just sat lay down in her bed looking at the ceiling.
"I met with Drake in the library."
Yang looked at Blake at that "What did he do?"
"Nothing, and that's the problem."
"huh?" asked Yang with confusion
"Haven't you notice that every conversation we have had with him, he is always giving everyone the coldshoulder. I tried to talk to him and help him but he just wont let anyone in."
"Maybe he is just insensitive?"
"But what could made someone be like that in such away."
Yang smiled at her partner "Don't worry the next time you are gonna try and talk with him I will go with you, and if he doesn't wants to listen then I will make him listen" said Yang smiling ass she punching het arms together.
Blake smiled at that, soon after Ruby came out of the bathroom ready to wake up Weiss who had been sleeping peacefully.
"hahahaha, of all the things you could have pull you choose his coffee."
Drake got to the classroom surprised to see professor port already in the classroom, he said that it was the first day he always got one hour before.
he told Drake that Bartholomew sends his thanks for the generous offer.
"He was the one that didn't took the precautions of the cave, qrow taught me that if a persons action brings you trouble you have to get back at said person."
Port just laughed harder at that comment, he calmed down and pulled something from his pocket.
"These are the keys for the engineering room ozpin said that he had left the material you asked would be there." Drake took the keys and gave a nod in appreciation.
He decided to cut the chat since student were arriving he went and sat in the final row of the classroom.
He saw as teams RWBY and JNPR entering the classroom in the last minute not paying much attention as he began to read again.
Professor port began with his famous speech of 'monstersss…. demonsss', he remembered the student in previous years repeating the speech.
Drake decided to focus in the book until Port asked out loud who wanted to prove if he or she was fitted to be a hunter he returned to the book knowing full well that neither Drake would raise his hand since he didn't any more attention nor will port call him since he already knew that Drake has what it takes to be a huntsman.
Drake heard Weiss Schnee saying she got what it takes, to which Port complimented her and told her to change in her combat outfit, she went out of the classroom while looking at Drake who was reading a book with no care of the world not seeing the face she was giving him.
Soon after that she returned to face the Grimm that was inside the cage, Drake closed his book and paid attention trying to figure out which Grimm would come out.
Soon after a boar looking Grimm came out charging at Weiss.
'Boarbatusks, very protected Grimm, fast and strong but very simple minded only charging at it`s pray, best way of elimination, hitting from below.' Thought Drake as he could ear Ruby shouting the same about his weakness, making Drake smile a little, that smile faded the moment he saw that Weiss decided not to listen to her.
It wasn't until she realized that she had no other choice she stabbed Myrtenaster on the ground creating an ice spike ending the Grimm immediately.
The professor congratulate her while she was panting in the ground, he ended the class earlier after that.
Not wasting any time he got out of the classroom going to his room to pick up his dog, not listening Blake calling for him.
"I promise I wont experiment of you." Said Drake changed in his usual attire to lambert, who by the way didn't like the idea of going to the engineer lab.
He turned a corner to see Weiss having an argument about Ruby being a terrible leader, Drake was about to step in when a very familiar silver cane appeared in front of him stopping him, he turned to Ozpin telling him to wait.
They both looked Weiss ending the conversation saying that Ozpin made a mistake, Drake didn't want to take her side but she did had a point about Ozpin making mistakes but this wasn't one of them.
They both got closer as lambert jumped in the Headgear and Ozpin got Ruby`s attention.
"Now that didn't seem to go very well."
She looked at both master and apprentice and asked "Is she right professor did you made a mistake."
Ozpin looked at Drake giving him the chance to answer.
"It is too soon to see if the decision he took was the correct one, Ruby this man next to me has done many mistakes since I have memory and more if we count the ones before that, but his decision making you leader it is still to be tested." Said Drake while patting Ruby`s head while giving her an small smile "The question is do you?"
this time it was Ozpin who decided speak.
"Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you are not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?" asked Ruby as she processed the words speaking by Ozpin.
"You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility Ruby, I advise you take some time to think about how you will uphold it." those were the final words of ozpin as he changed the topic looking at the book Drake had in hand.
"I see you are planning to make a new weapon." At that Ruby`s eyes widened with star in her eyes.
"Really what kind of weapon, another katana or a gun, a giant maze that becomes a rocket laucher-"
"Ruby calm down and breath" said Drake kindly as he eyed ozpin knowing full well he knew this would happen.
Ruby did as such and calmed down "What are you building, I thought you already had a nice set of blades" asked Ruby trying to hide her excitement.
"It is not for me, but for this guy." Said Drake poiting at Lambert who showed his head and greeted Ruby with a woof.
"Hey lambert, why a weapon for such a cutie?"
"One never knows this days Ruby we are in dangerous times." Said Drake
"Can I help, I built my crescent rose myself and I have a lot of experience on weapons."
"Sorry miss rose, but the equipment Drake is gonna use it is very fragile maybe for another time, plus don't you have some extra assignments as team leader."
Ruby`s eyes widened as she had forgotten about it and started running to her dorm saying goodbye in the way.
Ozpin tapped Drake`s shoulder getting his attention.
Walk with me, there is something I wanna speak with you while we go to the engineering lab.
Drake nodded as they walked down the hall not noticing that a certain white head looking at their way with a little pity
(a few minuts ago)
After Weiss had her little argument with Ruby she went to find professor port who was in one of the points where the city of vale could be seen from afar.
"Professor Port" said Weiss with a shy voice
"Oh miss Schnee, to what do I own this fine pleasure."
Said port as he turned around to see Weiss.
"I- I enjoyed your lecture." Said Weiss a little shy.
"Of course you did child you have the blood of a true huntress running in you."
"You really think so?"
"of course"
Weiss looked a little happy but wanted to ask something else.
"Something is troubling you, Dear girl, confess to me your strife!."
"Well…. I think I should have been the leader of team rwby."
Port looked at her for 2 seconds and said.
"That`s preposterous "
"excuse me?"
"I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!"
"So you accept his decision even after seeing hoe exceptional I am?"
"With all due respect your exceptional skill in the battlefield is only matched by your poor attitude."
"How dare you?" asked Weiss no longer in shy but angry voice
"My point exactly. I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted."
"That is not even remotely truth, and what about Drake, being the apprentice of Ozpin must have gotten also many things which would explain that attitude of his."
"Oh child how mistaken you are, that kid has no parents, no past, no origin, he has always worked hard on his own beating every challenge that has been thrown at him, but that is not the only thing about him that attitude of him is for many reasons, one of them losing the only woman he called mom, he didn't even call Ozpin dad and It was him who take Drake under his wing. So I suggest you let your pride cloud you judgment."
Weiss looked down at that, she has really never felt that kind of hard work for something; she looked right at her teacher who continued talking.
"So the outcome didn't fall in your favor, do you really believe that acting in such a manner will cause those in power reconsider their decision, So instead of fretting about what you don't have, savor what you do. Hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be, not the best leader, but the best person you can be." Said port ending his speech.
Weiss smiled at that, willing to change her attitude and help her team in the best way she could, she said her goodbyes to professor port and headed inside the academy just to listen another conversation.
"What did you mean by "Many mistakes since you have memory"? if I recall every deisicion I did for you except for maybe 4 were for the best. "
Drake just kept walking as always not letting his emotions show themselves, but behind the glasses his eye was twithching.
"Really? What about the time you told me that I had to build heaven and hell by myself and even get the materials alone, making me venture in the emerald forest alone."
"I never thought you will do it, you kept asking me when would you get your weapons and to make you stop thinking about it I said that, to be sincere you didn't have to much common sense then."
He looked at him and replied in an accusing voice "I was 6, not many kids have common sense in that age."
"Look at it in the bright side, haven't you do that, lambert wouldn't be here today."
'The worst part of all is that he is right.' Thought Drake as he petted lambert from behind his head.
"you aren't walking with me to remember good times. What is happening." Said Drake as he looked at the hall.
"Since this morning there has been a great number of deaths, all of them with same wound."
"Bullets hole though their head."
"Yes, but with this new bodies the never found neither a casket or the bullet in any of the scenes, all of the persons that had been found with that wound do not appear to have records or ids"
they both stopped in front of the lab.
"I was called to help in the investigation along with Glynda, I want you along with but peter and Bartholomew to do patrols in the night."
"Got it."
Ozpin gave an smile "Very well then, I will leave you and lambert to work in your project." Said ozpin as he left.
Both then entered the lab and set lambert in a table.
"So what will you feel confortable using?" asked Drake as he saw the confused face of lambert.
It was now nighttime in beacon, but Ozpin and Glynda had left and on the fountain area stood professors Port and Bartholomew along with Drake and lambert.
"Drake you take the dorm in the west, I will take the east ones, while professor port takes the classrooms in the campus." Said Bartholomew
"As always get your scrolls in hand in case of emergency." Said port.
Everyone nodded as parted their own ways, while walking Drake saw that it was getting cloudy and there was a gentle but a little cold breeze signaling that it was gonna rain soon.
Drake had worked in the laboratory until it was night time, he would need at least another full afternoon to finish it, he would have kept working on it but he had an obligation to attend right now.
He went to his dorm that he was supposed to take care and began to patrol everyfloor until he reached his own. He passed the doors of both team RWBY and JNPR wondering if Ozpin had put them in the same dorm as them in purpose.
'That`s an stupid question of course he did.'
He walked to his room for a moment and to take a can of coke from his fridge, he looked to see that he didn't have nearly anything in the fridge, he took a can and exited the room with lambert at his side, he opened his coke and began drinking while thinking something.
'let`s hope this situation is solve soon as much I hate to say it, I am gonna need to take an airship to vale soon, it is also been a while since I had bought any new book from Tukson, yeah I definitely need to go to vale soon.'
His chain of thoughts were interrupted when Lambert stopped in front of him.
He stopped drinking to see that in front of him stood Yang wearing her PJ looking at him with the same eyes Drake was looking at her.
"Miss Xiao Long, shouldn't you be in your room sleeping with the rest of your team."
"Well I was as matter of fact doing that, but then heard some footsteps in the hall at this time of the hour and as far as I know every student should have entered the dorm a while back, so I thought it was maybe a thief or a pervert trying to get the room of 4 beautiful girls" she said that last part with humor in her voice but then returned to her usual demeanor.
"The question here is, what are you doing here at this time of the night and armed none the least." She said as she saw the sheath of his katanas in his back.
"If you must know, miss goodwitch and professor Ozpin headed out of the academy along with another few members of the faculty, leaving me and other few watching over the school, believe me I would prefer to be sleeping."
They looked each other for a time like if they were having an staring contest even though one of the 2 was wearing glasses.
"I… I want to apology for what happened here yesterday." Said Yang looking down on the group in shame with a sad voice.
"It is just-"
"There is no need to explain miss Xiao long, it is not my place to know your personal pains, if you say you are sorry then that is enough." He was about to walk pass here but she kept talking.
"Why the hell do you need to be so cold to everyone?" said Yang raising her voice a little her eyes beginning to turn red.
Drake was about to just let it go and say and say to mind her own business when lambert begun barking at him and pointing in the direction of Yang room.
"Oh no" as soon as those words were said.
There was a loud bang coming from her room, Drake not wasting more time ran pass Yang, he turn the corner and saw that there was green smoke coming from the other side of the door, not taking any risk he created an white sphere that was hollowed in the inside.
He reached the door as Yang was running while shouting what was going on.
He kicked the door and threw the sphere while covering his nose, and taking cover with wall on the side he was on.
Inside the room the sphere had released a massive wind in the room dissing the smoke and sending everything in the room to hit the wall.
Drake looked in the room to see a complete disaster, papers flying around, he was surprised seeing bunk beds and even more that they had hold up, although they seemed rather dangerous, but there was not a sigh of RWB on the room and the remaining letter was looking around in the room.
Drake saw the window open and ran to it to see outside, it was dark but from affar it could be seen 5 man running to the outskirts of the campus and 3 of them had the remaining members in their shoulder.
Drake took his scroll to call the teacher but the only thing he saw was interference.
"The bastards are using a jammer."
"What the hell is going on?" he turned around to see Yang and the members of JNPR
"Go to campus and the dorm in the east side, professors port and Bartholomew should be guarding there." He said as he jumped from the window soon followed by lambert.
Yang took her ember celica and was about to jump the window.
"Do what he says, I am going with him." Said Yang as she jumped.
Drake had landed and soon after lambert deciding to change in his Grimm form and the hop on him.
He was about to run when he felt another person hopping on behind him, he turned to see it was Yang armed with hew weapons.
"I am going with you, you want it or not."
Drake just nodded patted lambert signaling to start running at high speed, not seeing that there was someone with a black cloak watching at them from the roof.
While running Yang decided it was the worst time to made a conversation.
"So it was truth, he really is a Grimm."
"Really miss Xiao Long, this is not the time to let your paranoia of him attacking you."
"Hey! I was just curious, can you really blame he is one of the things we came here to train and kill, plus the one of the paranoia is Weiss neither Blake nor me and we haven't told Ruby either. You know I am amazed that even in this situation you are so formal and cold."
"It is how I have been for the last 7 years, and just for your information I am altered but know how to hide, 3 student were taking on my watch no less."
Yang was surprised by that she was about to say something but lambert jumped high in the sky.
"They are right down on us, jump!" she did as such as she saw Drake unsheathing his blades and began to rotate them in circular manner pointing at the ground, 2 twister came from the blades making the man in the ground get knocked and losing contact with the ground making them fly high, he then putted back his blades in their sheat.
"You catch Ruby, I will take miss belladonna and miss Schnee" said Drake as he dived down catching Blake and then using one of the thugs as a platform and jumped to catch Weiss.
Yang saw Ruby and caught her without a problem the landing was a different story, she usually was good in those but with Ruby in her hands and considering that he jump lambert made was even higher that the launchers in the initiation she didn't know how she was gonna land.
Her thought were interrupted as she saw a cloud made of white energy, she landed there and the cloud took her to closer level to the ground.
She turned to see Drake who had his palm pointing in the direction she was, he then put it down making the cloud disappear."
'Smooth.' Thought Yang.
"Ya- Yang?" she looked to see Ruby who had her eyes open and noticed she was a little pale.
"It looks like the gas they inhaled affected their breathing only. Lambert!"
Lambert came and stood next to Drake while Yang got closer with Ruby, all 3 of them were awake but not in state to walk.
"The effects should wore of soon we-" Drake didn't finished the sentence as he felt a pinch on his neck followed from an "Ouch" from yang, he turned around and the 5 men one of then holding a sniper type of weaon standing at least 10M away.
"What the hell?" asked Yang as she fall on her knees and Drake was trying his best not to do the same.
"Lambert take care of them, I will be back soon." Said Drake as he began waling to where the 5 were.
"Look at that brat, trying to bear the effect of the paralyzer." Said the man as his partners laughed.
Neither of them so the sparks coming from his the palms of his hands.
Drake kept walking as the closed his palms and the connected both fist each with white sparks, the moment they touched all his body the sparks became more visible and began to run all over his body.
"What is he doing?" asked Yang trying to stand up without much luck.
"He is electrocuting himself to ignore the effects of the paralyzer." It was Weiss who answered trying to do the same as Yang.
Drake pulled out his swords as the man looked in fear and raised their firearms; Drake gave an slash in the air with X motion sending an strong way of wind charged with electricity at the 5 which resulted in cutting the firearms in various pieces, give small cut wounds and electrocute them as they fall to the ground.
Drake got close and stabbed the leg of one of them, making him scream in pain.
"What were you planning to do with them?"
"AAAHHHHHH FUCK Y-" Drake twisted his blade making him feel more pain.
"You know I still have one more blade and you another leg, you do know where I am going with this correct?"
"OK OK OK, WE WERE NOLY INTERESTED IN THE HEIRESS THE OTHER 2 WERE JUST AN INSURANCE."
'They were only interested in Weiss, not really surprised there, wait a second,' Thought Drake as he looked at the man.
"Insurance for what?"
the man haven't even opened his mouth, Drake saw as in the head of the man appeared a hole that went though all his crane making the sound of bone breaking and spatting a little of blood in Drake`s face making widen his eyes, he then heard the same bone breaking sound from the other 4.
Not wanting to look back at the other 4 he gave a jump back making him be 7M away from the girls.
He looked around to see the girls safe but with the same face of surprise as him, he then looked around to see who could have done it, but there was no one there besides them.
He began to walk where the girls were to go back to the academy when her eyes widened enough that it looked like their eyes were gonna jump from their faces.
"Going so soon?" Drake heard a robotic voice behind him; he turned around to see a man wearing a black cloak with big red goggles and a mask.
"You with them?" asked Drake knowing it was him who made those wounds, also the responsible for all the deaths in vale today.
"No I am on my own." Said the robotic voice as they began to circle each other Drake with blades in hand and the other took two guns of color white,, light purple and red, each one had 30 cm blades coming from behind the cannon, one was of a brownish-orange and the other sky blue.
They stopped circling each other as thunder could be heard in the sky.
"But there is another team here as well." Said the robotic voice.
The 4 girls looked at the staring contest, they noticed they had the same height, while Yang was using her semblance to burn the effect of the paralyzer.
The 4 saw as the Drake charged at the masked man while the other just raised his guns, they were surprised when they saw Drake went pass him and slashed the air time after time while the other figure just began to shot at the direction Drake was before.
"What the hell are they doing?" asked Weiss as she heard that lambert was growing, all of them looked at the eyes of the Grimm, they were full red but it could be notice how fast his eyes were moving.
"Lambert what is it?" said Blake trying to raise her hand to touch the dog but couldn't.
"Lambert?" asked Ruby as the girls of the 3 other girls widened, Ruby then noticed that in his neck was a familiar collar that said Beacon.
"Ruby now it is not the time I will explain later I promise" said Blake, as Ruby slowly nodded not believing what had she just found out.
They all looked back at what was happening in front of them, as they saw Drake slashing, jumping and running while the mask man was doing the same, all RWBY was starting to think that it was their minds playing tricks at them, that was until they saw them both stopped after a few seconds where there was only 2 persons there were now 2 persons and a lot of death bodies around them, all of them appeared out of nowhere.
"How?" asked Yang.
"It looked like they were using some kind of invisibility camouflage, that's why lambert's eyes were moving so fast, he could sense them." Said Blake to which lambert only nodded not losing sigh of Drake and the masked man.
"Well you are very good at sensing." Said the masked man as he spun at high speed with one of his guns raised just to meet Drake who had his blade already his neck while he himself had a blade in his neck.
"No, I am just good feeling the intent to kill." Said Drake not moving an inch and so did the masked man.
The both jumped back at the same time.
"you are also here for Weiss aren't you?" asked Drake whose whole body was telling him to be caregull.
The masked man just looked at Weiss and then at Drake.
"Of course, the reason all these guy`s are here is for here, whoever takes her to a certain individual will get paid enough money to stop working for 10 years."
"You are also the one that blew out that building and the one in a killing spree al the day, correct?"
He just nodded.
"But unlike abducting her, someone is paying me the double just to put a hole in her head."
He said as he raised his gun and pointed at Weiss, only to see lambert stood in the way growling at him. Making eyes widened for the death declaration and the fact that the Grimm was protecting her.
"Wow, a Grimm protecting a human, well there is a first for anything." He said as he pointed the gun at Drake.
"If there is something I enjoy more than a good paid is a good fight."
They began another stare contest, it was already beginning to rain, Drake still in the rain created an white energy wall above the girls so that they could not get wet and catch a cold.
"How nice of you." Said the man as he charged at Drake while spinning his guns at high velocity Drake doing the same with both blades in defense position, both weapons crashed with each other, Drake moved his head quickly to avoid shot of energy from the guns.
The girls examined the battle with carefully.
"Drake has a the disadvantage here, every time they clash the blades of both weapons, the guns will shot and hit Drake depending no matter their position, but not just that the velocity and the ability to spin the guns like that at stop them in the right moment for each blade to connect an attack scares me, I cant barely keep up with them." Said Ruby analyzing the fight with a little fear for his friend.
While Weiss looked at Ruby at her deduction, very well analyzed, she was indeed good analyzing her enemies, something good for a leader. Weiss would have complimented her because it was not the time.
Lambert sat in front of them not looking at the girls but the fight, he knew what Drake was planning just hoped it wouldn't end with him and a bullet in his head.
"You are very good at dodging, but why don't you do something else!" said the man as he stopped spinning the gun on his right arm in mid air and was about to slash Drake.
Drake had just stopped an incoming attack from the gun in the left hand and looked at to see that the gun with the blue blade was gonna slash him, but there was something different this time, the blade was glowing and it looked like he had put a lot of strength on it since his instincts were screaming him to block this one with both blades.
He raised both heaven and hell in X motion, the 3 blades clashed generating a massive shockwave that shocked the ground.
'Had I not used both blades, my arm would have been fractured.'
He didn't notice that the second gun was diagonal down to his left.
"Now I am disappointed."
*BANG!*
the gun fired releasing and energy beam that went straight to the right side of drakes head, more specifically his brain.
From the point of view of the girls in looked like that shot had hit Drake right in the head killing him, none of them said anything time had stopped for them.
But from another point of view there could be seen was Drake moving his head according with the distance between the contact of the beam and the head to the minimum moving to the left so fast that it looked as if the shot had connected, after he got of the trajectory of the beam, Drake took advantage of the momentum and made a 360 spin kick strong enough to sent the gunslinger flying.
Drake quickly stabbed both blades in the ground and turned to look in the direction the man was flying, he extended his arms as 2 white energy chains appeared from each hand that went and grabbed both guns, he quickly pulled the chains with the guns on the other side and threw them far away.
The masked man hit the ground hard and now he was beginning to stand up.
"You are incredible you know that, you are the second person that has ever disarmed me, but play time is over." He said as he began to walk to Drake.
"Yeah but not for me."
at that moment Drake took his blades and began to walk to the man, but something made him stop he stopped the eyes behind his glassed widened. He took both blades and began to spin them in circular motion.
"What is he doing, the guy is disarmed why isn't he at-" Yang`s words stopped as she saw something peculiar, the spinning blades looked like were making cotact with something, she was able to tell thanks to the rain, it looked like they were multiple splashes of water in the spinning motion.
"What the hell?" asked Blake noticing the same.
After a few moments there were no splashes and Drake stopped what he was doing.
"That's how you do it, you create small air bullets around you and shot them, at the beginning I thought it was those guns of yours, with a beam that can go though fresh skin but the hole of the cannon was to big, you used those air bullets to kill all those people, you have a perfect mastery of the wind, that is your semblance"
the figure just stopped and began to clap his hands.
"You are really something, you must have good eyes to see the bullets."
'in truth I see them perfectly clear, with or without rain since it looks like the energy around the guns it is almost as my energy manipulation, except his is the same color as his blue blade.'
"But you made a mistake." That caught everyone's attention
"You assumed that I only had mastery over wind, there you are mistaken."
Drake heard some noise from the side the threw the guns, he looked to see 2 earth pillars coming from the ground pushing the guns that then were envelop in air sphere that guide them to where their owner were.
Once in hands he stared at Drake "Play times over."
He used a high speed thrust, Drake was gonna do the same but something stopped him, the effect of the electrocution had wore of making him stood like a rock not being able to block the attack as he fall on his knees.
Drake just saw as the man passed him at high-speed making his eyes widened, he didn't cut him, the thing he cut were his glasses, the man walked next to him and saw his face, he looked at Drake for about 30 seconds and then said.
"Crimson eyes huh, nice." Said the man as he putted away his guns inside his cloak while Drake`s eyes were widened.
Drake had been so focused on his fight that he didn't notice that fact.
"17 minutes, that how long out fight took, yo-" the man was interrupted as he jumped back 2 meters away avoiding a very angry Yang getting wet in her PJ, she had finally burned every bit of the paralyzer.
"Blondie what the hell?"
"Shut up I am trying to help the dumbass behind me."
Drake ignored the comment "Yang…"
That made her eyes widened a little as she turned to see Drake straight at his crimson eyes for the first time.
"He had the chance to kill me right now but didn't, and with that cheap ability of his he could have killed all of you when he wanted, he is not who he says he is." Said Drake in calm voice, she notice he was struggling to talk
"Do not call my ability cheap." Said the man as he got closer to Drake ignoring Yang and taking him by the shoulder.
"Lets go and help your friends I will explain everything."
"Yeah we would like to know as well."
All 3 turned to see Professors Port, Bartholomew and team JNPR who were checking on the rest of team RWBY.
"You are late." Said Drake trying to sound angry.
They all walked under the white wall as the rain began to stop.
"First things first." Said the masked man as the he raised his palm pointing at the ground were RWB were sitting as the earth began to glow healing the effect of the gas. He did the same with Drake but without much of the same effect thanks to the battle and the constant electrocution in his system.
"Ok Dante you better start explaining now." said Drake comparing him to the character of one of the books he read about a gunslinger with a giant sword and a red coat.
"haha very funny, I am the responsible of my own acts, always hunting those who threat the sake of our world and getting rid of them permanently."
The eyes of Drake and the teachers widened.
"You are a maverick hunter." Said Drake as Weiss eye widened.
"Maverick hunter?" asked Ruby confused.
"A top secret organization that works as the shadow of the government, they eliminate those who are a threat for the whole remnant either by the order of the governments, by personal of contracts or on their own."
"You are well informed miss Schnee, but you made a mistake, we do not work under the governments, we help them from time to time and some times we fix their screws up, we eliminate threats that could damage remnant, for example something that could start another war. But we also take personal contract as always the objective is evil."
"Then all those man this morning?" asked Weiss
"Yes, let me explain from the beginning, 48 hours ago, we received information from a relievable source, someone had ordered the abduction of several VIP, the contract was giving to me for the delicacy of the situation, my investigation took me to one of the mafia families in vale" said the man as he took a deep breath.
"They had already sent the bounty for the VIP, and I didn't knew who they were targeting, so I decided to hit the head of the whole conflict first and then get the list of VIP, the list contained various important names along with names of team assigned for each name. Once I knew their names I took them down one by one before they even started the kidnapping."
"Hold it, so when one of man said they took the others as insurance, it was against you." Said Drake.
"Never kill an innocence that is one of our codes. Many of the names of the list where many prominent people, among them also your father and sister miss Schnee." Weiss widened at that.
"But then why start attacking Drake and saying you were here to kill Weiss?" Asked Blake.
"It has been a long time since I have got a challenge, I knew he was very skilled so I said that so he could fight seriously, it is a shame that the paralyzer had retaken it`s effect, I would have enjoyed keep fighting."
Drake smiled at the comment to surprise of everyone.
"I would have lost, you had more skills and experience than me." that surprised everyone even the teacher.
"We wont know until we fight next time, it is a shame thought it is the first and last time we fight to the death." Said the man as he began to walk away.
He turned around to see Drake "Your name is Drake correct?" he just nodded.
"Nice name." were his last words as he began to fly at high speed in the sky and disappeared in night.
"Lets go back the academy, we will talk about this there." Said professor port as he heard a loud sound from behind.
They all turned to see Drake lying in the wet ground.
Peter took him and put him in lambert.
"Take him to the academy and to his room, it has been a long night he deserves his rest he has earned it."
Lambert started running as they saw he entered back in the campus.
"I am the only seeing a dog like Grimm with Drake on his back?" asked Jaune who had just noticed the Grimm.
"We will talk about that for another day, lets go back." Said Bartholomew.
Ozpin sat in his office with his favorite coffee mug and his favorite coffee back.
But right now he was thinking in the events that happened today, but about everything the fight between Drake and the maverick hunter. He stood from his chair and stared at the view outside the window.
"Would you like some coffee?" asked Ozpin as he turned to see same masked hunter.
"Sorry I prefer something else, I come with a proposition."
AN: And that`s it what do you think, I am gonna tell the truth, I didn't expect to write over 8500 words, this just came out on it`s on.
The next chapter is gonna take a few days for my college since I have 3 project to prepare for this week, I will write whenever I can. By the way I really recommend reading RWBY: resolve it is really a good History in my opinion.
By the way the next chapter takes place in the timeskip before jaunedice.
I tried my best to be as descriptive as I could in that fight I hope you like it
Don't forget to comment.
Seeya!
