A/N: Yeah, so that was a thing, right? Have fun! Also, don't worry, I will continue my other story once this ends. I just felt like taking a break to write from a sadistic, blood thirsty point of view.
[Mercury]
Cinder's corpse is sprawled in front of those of us who are left. That being myself, Emerald, and our new leader Mitch.
"As you may have noticed, Cinder is in no condition at all to lead in the foreseeable future, so I believe that it is now my time to take the lead," Mitch declares.
"And if we don't want to work under you?" Emerald asks.
"Well now that depends. If you simply leave, the door is wide open, but if you do, the second you do something to impede me or the White Fang, Cinder won't be the only dead whore on this carpet," He says, "However, should you choose to stay, I'll double your pay. It appeared Cinder was hoarding lots of money."
I can't help but smirk at Mitch's confidence. It was obvious that he had both the brains and the brawn to back up his arrogance, but it was still very amusing.
"Well if that's all the news for today, do you mind if I go back to my bunk?" I ask.
"I suppose I'm staying too," Emerald says, almost pouting before following me.
[Mitch]
I have some of the White Fang grunts dispose of Cinder's half naked corpse, and I return to planning. Since the 'incident' with the train crash, Ozpin, Beacon's headmaster has been forced to step down for the duration of the Vytal festival. Oh the mistake those fools have made forcing him down. He might've been able to stop me, but with him gone, I will face very little opposition when I lay siege to the school. But first, I must strike fear into the hearts of my foes. Acts of terror and power shall weaken my foes, effectively cancelling the Vytal festival, and at the same time giving the military complete control of Vale.
My plans laid out, it is now time to execute phase four.
[Emerald]
I walk into the movie theatre. Mitch has given the go ahead to begin our reign of terror. I am followed in by an entourage of White Fang members.
"It seems as though you dislike serving faunus in this establishment. Is there any truth to this?" I ask the ticket man cockily.
"I-I-I-It's not my choice! I could get fired if I let them in!" He yells.
"There's always a choice," I say, then, turning to the White Fang soldiers I say, "tear the place down."
The White Fang members pull out explosive charges, which they then begin placing throughout the building. The chaos of people running and screaming is music to my ears. Anarchy is a great thing for the short time that it lasts. I walk out of the theatre, and the explosives are detonated. The entire building collapses upon itself, sending plumes of smoke into the sky. Hopefully that's enough smoke to signal Mercury.
I hear police sirens and the whirring of helicopters, and before the smoke clears, I vanish into the sewers.
[Mercury]
Plumes of smoke fill the sky in the distance, and I take it that that's my cue. The building I stand before is an apartment building with a dust shop on the ground floor. Both the apartments and the dust shop are known to detest and refuse to serve faunus. Which is why the White Fang are so willing to follow the plan. I walk into the dust shop. The place is full of the stuff. Perfect. The owner is an adult man, no older than his 30's. And he would soon meet his end.
"The White Fang sends their regards," I say, and one of the White Fang members behind me fires his weapon into one of the dust crystals.
The entire room explodes, and the apartment complex above it comes crashing down. I watch as plumes of smoke rise around the destroyed building. I smile at a job well done and another payday earned before painting the White Fang logo near the wreckage and disappearing into the sewers.
[Mitch]
Distant smoke lets me know that Mercury and Emerald have done their part, and the majority of the police force should be focusing on the two destroyed buildings. Now it's time for a jailbreak. I stand outside the gate to the prison where Roman is being held and approach the guard.
"Hello, I would like to visit one of the inmates here," I say to the man.
"Sir, this is a high security prison for extremely dangerous criminals, we can't let you in here," he says, irritated by my question.
"Eh, worth a shot," I mutter under my breath and I draw my weapon. I quickly squeeze of two shots, killing the guard before he has the chance to hit the alarm button at his station.
I drag his corpse out of view and disguise myself as him, and make sure to keep his pager on me, just in case someone calls to check in. I press the button in the booth to open the gates, and I walk into the prison grounds, the gates closing behind me. I walk into the prison, avoiding eye contact with the guards, and walk into the elevator. Scanning my (the dead guard's) card in front of the scanner, I am granted access to the top floor of the prison.
Once the elevator comes to a stop, I walk down the hallway, looking for some sort of list, showing which prisoner was contained in which cell. Each cell on this floor was practically solitary confinement, so I suppose that the best way to check would be to find the floor's security room.
Once I find said room, I sneak up behind the man watching them and slit his throat with the knife end of my weapon. His blood spills over my hands, warm to the touch, and it soaks through the sleeves of my uniform. Oh well, I wasn't staying incognito much longer anyway.
I scan through the cameras until I find Roman's cell. Cell number 14-34B. I walk to cell block B, cell 34, and open the door.
"Oh, so Cinder couldn't possibly be bothered to rescue me herself?" Roman asks as the door opens, snarky as ever.
"Well, it appears there's been a change in plans," I say to him, "Neither Cinder nor Neo are with us any longer. I'm in charge now, and you'll help me, or you'll die."
"As long as I'm getting paid, I don't give a fuck who I'm spreading anarchy for," Roman says with a shrug.
I lead him to the elevator of the prison, taking him back down. Cameras and guards spot us almost immediately, and alarms start blaring throughout the prison. Time to fight our way out of here. The elevator door opens, and several guards with spears and shotguns wait for us. I draw my weapon and squeeze off several rounds in quick succession, either stunning or killing the guards in their path.
We break through that crowd, and I take cover behind a wall as more men come charging down the cell block. Using my cover, I blind fire several shots down the hall. It's packed with so many guards that I can hear a guard cry out in pain every time I pull the trigger. A man comes charging down close to me, and I extend the knife on my weapon into a sword, and behead the man, using his momentum against him.
With my weapon now in full melee mode, I charge into the crowd of guards, jump, kick off the wall, and land in the center, bringing my blade down as hard as I can. Fire erupts in an almost flower-like formation, setting fire to the guards in the area. The satisfying smell of burning flesh fills my nostrils. It wouldn't be long before they began sending in whatever military forces that weren't occupied with Emerald and Mercury, so I grab Roman and rush for the exit, where I throw off my shirt and spread my wings.
With Roman's arm in my grasp I flap my wings and take to the sky. Roman's screaming below me is very funny, and I can't help but laugh at his fear of heights. Now we would go through a series of checkpoints that I set up before hand until we're sure the cops are off of our trail.
[Emerald]
Mitch walks through the door of our safehouse, Roman in tow. The guy may be a complete sadistic asshole, but no matter what you say, he was smart, and he was efficient. Any goal that he had, he would reach, no matter how many corpses he would have to leave behind him. I both hate and admire him. I admire his intelligence and his power, but I can't help but hate his commanding and arrogant attitude.
I turn on the TV to look at the news. Sure enough, it's filled with stories of the death and destruction caused by our attacks. And just as planned, people are questioning whether or not to continue with the Vytal festival. If Mitch's plan goes according to plan, and I have full faith that it will, then the festival be cancelled, and the city will be reduced to a state of panic. However, hunters and huntresses would still be sent on missions outside of the city, and protection, without Ozpin in command, would be left to the military robots.
I can hear Mitch explaining recent events to Roman, and I can hear Roman's snarky comments. I'd been under the impression that Roman had loved Cinder. I mean, we all did at one point or another, but he seemed as though he'd never gotten over her. But now here he is, acting as though he never gave a shit in the first place. Curious.
[Mercury]
Days have passed since Mitch broke our Roman, and the White Fang have been continuously attacking stores and establishments that wouldn't serve faunus. As long as they thought equality was our goal, they would do anything we asked them to do. No, while the White Fang is causing chaos in the city, my mission is to infiltrate the military control station. Using an outfit and ID card that I don't even want to know how Mitch got, I walk right on into the building.
My disguise effectively makes me seem as though I am one of the supervisors for the robotic army of the city. I take the elevator up to my 'post', the control station. I approach the main control terminal and flip a switch on the forearm guard of my armor that wirelessly uploads a loop to the cameras in the room. I then attach a bug onto the terminal and begin walking out. The bug is untraceable, and nearly impossible to see. So I simply walk out of the military base, under the guise of having to take a call, get into a car, and drive through our series of checkpoints and vehicle changes until I reach the safehouse. The city's most important line of defense is now under our command.
[Mitch]
Mercury has given me wireless control of the city's defenses, and the White Fang's constant attacks have resulted in the cancellation of the Vytal festival. Perfect. It's finally time to execute the fifth and final phase of my plan for Vale; Hostile Takeover.
