Heeeey, Heeeeeey! What's the matter with your feel right? Heeeeeey! Come and get your looooove! I love that song.
Wolf: I find your antics to be giving me a headache.
LucarioKid: Aww, are you just mad that you got busted in your stealth mission into Beacon?
Wolf: That was because of Borris and you know it.
LucarioKid: Riiiiight. Anyways, here we go.
Wolf waited and waited. He went over the files and found that the girl from his memories was in fact the same one on Blake's team. He found this interesting but knew he shouldn't get involved with them. She could give him some answers seeing as her dad was the one who owned the company that hired him. Maybe he could follow this lead after tonight. For now he would wait and learn everything on every student he could.
"And you believe this mechanical wolf to be one that you had your scientists create illegally seven years ago?" Ozpin asked Ironwood quizzically which caused the general to shake his head.
"Technically it was legal, but only a few people knew about it. But, yes I believe it to be the same one. It appears to have more upgrades and be longer then before but I am very certain it is the same one. Looking back on the videos it fought like it was supposed to and was also smart enough to know when it was beat, just like the AI would know."
Ozpin took a sip of coffee and kept his glare on the general. He looked down into his cup and chuckled.
"It's very smart for sure. It managed to come up behind me and knock me out." He looked at Ironwood and gave a cheeky grin.
"Do you have a plan for catching it or do you just plan on filling it with holes?" Ironwood started to pace in circles and rubbed his chin in thought.
"I am unsure. We have millions riding in that machine but it is extremely dangerous from what the soldiers footage showed us." This didn't answer Ozpin's question but he knew this was a hard decision for him.
"Incoming call from...The Schnee Dust Company." Ozpin swiped the screen on his desk and the call began.
"Hello Ozpin. Is Ironwood with you?" It was Weiss' father. Ironwood gave his regards to the owner of the Schnee Company and they started to listen.
"I would like to ask why I turn on the news to find that Beacon was attacked by a cybernetic wolf that bears a similar resemblance to the one I purchased all those years ago. The very one that disappeared when a shipment from one of my trains was stolen. Care to elaborate for me please?" Ironwood took a seat in a chair and let out a tired breath.
"We don't know that much ourselves but we do believe it is the same one we sold you." There was a pause before the other end gave out a sigh.
"I should have known something was wrong when we couldn't find that thing among the numerous defense droids that had been destroyed. Ironwood, I want you to get that thing found and captured."
"Very well. Can we expect the Schnee Dust Company to offer us some help on this hunt?"
"You have my full support. I will send twenty battle droids to Beacon at once. I will be down there within the next few hours to oversee this. Good day gentlemen." The call ended and Ozpin glared at the worried general.
"What's wrong?"
"That thing was a dangerous killing machine before we gave it to him. Now this thing has more upgrades and tricks to it's arsenal. I don't know if we will be able to salvage it without destroying a large amount of it."
"Then I suppose you do just that to prevent any loss of life in your hunt."
"It is most likely coming back to night. We'll set up a trap if you would permit us." Ozpin sighed and stood while staring closely at the general.
"You may but you keep my students out of this. If any of them get hurt you will not enjoy sitting in my office again." With that simple threat Ozpin decided to leave the general and take a stroll. He looked to the woods in the distance and could have sworn that for a moment he saw something moving in the distance.
"What have you done Ironwood?"
It was dark and about ten at night when Wolf made his move. He would enter the same way as the night before but he would stick to the inside of the buildings seeing as a large amount of men were watching the rooftops. Being inside would make moving slow and much more dangerous but if he was careful and utilized his new ball form he would be fine.
He landed on the roof and made his way to the side of the roof and looked down. He saw an open window and used his claws to climb down to it. He slowly peeked his head in and saw four sleeping figures. He crawled in and crept along the floor silently. He made it to the door and slowly opened it and exited. He was in a dark hallway that would have been confusing had he not mapped out his path and set a holo-graphic marker.
He walked to the left and was careful with where he stepped. He almost made it to the end when he heard a door openening. He rolled into a ball and went against the wall. The person was a girl. When she got closer Wolf saw she had large rabbit ears on the top of her head. She was walking through the dark perfectly and Wolf could have sworn her eyes were glowing a little. Wolf was sure she wouldn't see him and just pass him by.
She looked over at him and Wolf started to worry. How had she seen him? She knelt down and poked him. She tried to pick him up but Wolf knew he was too heavy.
"What are you?" Wolf knew he couldn't waste his time with her. He opened up and tackled her causing her to gasp quietly.
"Shhhhhh. I won't kill you." Wolf opened his mouth and stuck his tongue out. She started to panick and Wolf quickly stuck her neck and released a quick shock that knocked her unconscious. He grabbed her by her collar and drug her to the closest room and went to put her in. The door wouldn't open. Wolf released her and stood up to look at the pad.
Walking on his hind legs felt weird but at least he was able to see the pad now. It needed a scan or a code. Wolf saw a port hole and he put his plug to it. It was one similar to the one in the tower so it formed in a very short amount of time. He hacked the door easily and pushed the rabbit girl in. He closed the door and continued on his way.
He made it to the end of the first building and looked out the window at the end of the hall. He saw an open window on the other building so he backed up. He jumped between the two buildings and landed silently in another hallway.
"Last building Wolf. You're almost to the tower." Wolf could feel his goal getting closer but he knew he still had to be very careful. He reached the end of the hallway and found another window. He slowly opened it and saw the tower. He once more backed up and flew to the walls of the tower and started to run up it. He reached the window again and was happy to see the room was empty. The window he smashed through had been replaced which made Wolf wonder how skilled and fast these people could be.
Wolf grabbed a knife with his tail and cut a hole in the window and pushed the piece away while gently lowering it to avoid making any noise. He crawled in and made his way to the desk. He tapped it and chuckled to himself when it turned on. He plugged himself in and turned on his comms.
"I'm in." The others gave him cheers and he started to unlock all the information he could. He found information on Ironwood and just decripted basic information. The general was here in Beacon for a tournament it would seem. Wolf knew that made his job easier. Wolf made sure to get some information on these Grimm creatures as well.
He found a file on the Schnee Dust Company and started to decrypt it. That's when he heard the sound of the elevator door. Wolf disconnected and rolled into a ball under the desk. The man he had to attack from the night before sat in the chair. Wolf cursed himself for not setting up sensors first.
The man seemed to be shuffling through papers when he kicked Wolf. He looked under at the metal ball in confusion. Wolf turned to normal and tackled him, chair and all. Wolf looked closely at him and let out a low growl while opening his mouth.
"That won't be necessary." Wolf closed his mouth and looked at the green clad man with confusion. The man just gave Wolf a grin.
"Could you let me up?"
"How do I know you won't call for reinforcements?" The man continued giving his grin and shrugged.
"You don't. This is how people form bonds is by trusting people in risky situations." Wolf thought about it before hopping off the man. The man stood his chair up and took a seat.
"I'm professor Ozpin."
"Wolf." Wolf said cryptically and just turned back to the device but made sure to keep an eye on this Ozpin in case he tried anything. Ozpin just sat and watched the Wolf with interest while his files were torn through. He knew that his real important files were hiden away. Ozpin smiledbut felt a sting of remorse and eventually the screen turned red and locked Wolf out while sending an electric pulse out.
Ozpin was stunned when Wolf shrugged the shock off and just turned to Ozpin.
"What happened!?" Wolf growled at him darkly.
"A security measure in case someone did what you just did. It was supposed to either knock them unconscious or shut them down." Wolf ran to the hole in the window and started to squeeze through. He jumped down and landed quietly. He started to run when he was surrounded on every side.
"Not again."
"Well, you should have waited."
"Not now Kevin!" He saw lots of guns. There were three Bullheads. Thirty men and twenty battle droids. Wolf clicked his mask on causing a couple people to jump. He saw windows open and some students were looking down at him in wonder and confusion.
"Don't move or we will shoot you!" Wolf knew that voice and turned to see Ironwood staring at him. Wolf growled and started to walk towards him.
"You." Ironwood grinned and raised his hand causing some warning shots to be fired at Wolf's feet. Wolf stopped and just glared at the general.
"Someone wants to see you." He moved to the side and the man Wolf knew as Mr. Schnee stepped forward.
"It's been a while Lq-84i." Wolf growled, causing a few men to jump at the hatred in the growl.
"That is not my name!" Schnee seemed to be confused but brushed it off.
"Regardless. You can surrender and you won't be harmed. Then you can come back and work for me. Everything can go back to the way it was." Wolf glared at him and started to walk forward. Ironwood started to raise his hand but Schnee stopped him. Wolf stopped in front of the man and looked up at him. Schnee kneeled down and smiled at him.
"What do you say?" Wolf looked away and went to his comms and spoke so only those on the comms could hear him.
"Sunny. Did you install it?"
"Ya, why?" Wolf chuckled and turned back to Schnee.
"I'm my own master now." Wolf spun and kicked him away while returning to the center and letting out a loud howl. Wolf dropped a custom EMP made by Sunny that also worked as a flashbang that went off almost instantly that also wouldn't affect him. Wolf took off and bullets were shot sporadically and missed him by leaps and bounds as they were blinded. Wolf slammed his way though a man while knocking three others over.
Wolf saw one last droid in front of him and he just kicked it into the air and gave a lateral and vertical slash to it before continuing. He made it to the edge of the school when the three Bullheads opened fire on him. Wolf responded by rolling up and rolling forward quickly to avoid them. Wolf changed back and jumped into the air and threw knifes into the engines causing them to flare up and start to crash down to the ground.
Wolf brought his knifes back and made it into the forest and chuckled when he saw they hadn't given chase.
"That went much better."
"Not good, but better."
Schnee was furious to say the least. He went up to Ironwood and glared daggers at him.
"Why didn't he listen to me!?" Ironwood couldn't supply an answer so he just looked away grimacing. Ozpin's laughter could be heard and they turned to see him with his usual cane and mug.
"I knew he wouldn't just give up. He was looking for information. That means he wants to learn more about himself. He has tasted freedom and once someone tastes it, they don't ever want to give it up. He is no different."
"But it's a machine." Ozpin frowned at Ironwood before taking a long sip of his coffee. He raised his eyebrow.
"Is he?" Ozpin said and walked away.
"He's most certainly his own master now."
To say Weiss was having a bad day was to be under stating it. Her day was horrible. She had just learned that her dad was at Beacon and that the strange wolf she saw the night before had returned and angered her father. She had a strange feeling in the back of her head that she knew it from somewhere. When she saw it in the woods she couldn't place why it felt so familiar. So she went to her team for help.
"So you're telling me that you want to hunt this thing down when Ironwood and his goons got their asses beat by it two nights in a row?" Weiss turned to Ester and scoffed.
"Yes. Now who wants to join me?" Nobody answered at first. Ruby slowly raised her hand which caused Weiss to smile.
"Thank you Ruby. Anyone else?" Nobody. Weiss looked around and saw Velvet was even more quiet than usual. She kept looking around as if something was following her. It was rather wierd that she was found passed out in Jnpr's dorm with a strange mark on her neck. Nobody could answer the question.
"Velvet, how about you? Your ears could prove very useful." Velvet shook her head quickly. Coco patted her shoulder to calm her down.
"You ok?" Velvet nodded meaning she wasn't and that she also wasn't going to talk to anyone. Weiss just stood and walked away with Ruby in tow.
"I can't believe they don't want the chance to find and destroy this thing." Ruby just chuckled uneasily.
"Ester was right. This thing is very dangerous. We will want to be very careful. I thought you said I was the one who came up with dumb ideas?." Weiss wasn't paying attention and just started to walk into the forest. She knew about where it had gone last night and where they found it the night before. This of course didn't stop Ruby from questioning her if she knew where she was going. Weiss only called her a dunce and continued walking.
They came to a clearing and saw a red shimmering in the distance and went to investigate. Ruby closed her eyes and turned away while Weiss' eyes widened. It was blood. Lots of blood with chunks of what was once a person.
"Could the wolf have done this?" Ruby asked, still not looking at the disturbing sight.
"I think so. But, there may be Grimm nearby so be careful." As if on cue there was a loud rustle and they both drew their weapons. An Ursa Major flew out of the bushes and roared at them. It was joined by four more that were equally large.
"Weiss, let's get em." Weiss nodded her agreement to Ruby and used a glyph to send herself forward. She chambered red dust and stabbed the first Ursa in the chest which knocked it back into multiple trees with an explosion. It only got back up and roared at her.
Ruby shot multiple blasts from her sniper and they barely hurt the Ursas. She switched to rushing them and started to slash into them. One managed to get it's mouth around her cape and throw her away. Ruby slammed into a tree and started to see stars. Weiss rushed to defend her partner only to have three Ursa get in her way. The other two went to finish Ruby who was having trouble getting up.
Weiss watched as one raised its paw to smash her.
Wolf sat in the peace of the forest but was interupted and heard a loud explosion. The forest some where near his position. Wolf stood and rushed to the sound by using the tree tops to help him. He came to the clearing and saw five Ursa Majors. Three on Weiss and two on the injured Ruby. One raised its paw to smash her and Wolf jumped in to intervene.
Weiss cried out as the paw started to come down but was stopped. She heard a strange shout of exerstion and saw the wolf in front of Ruby using its chainsaw to stop the blow. The wolf pushed back and knocked the bears arm away. It then did a back flip and chopped the Ursa's arm off at the shoulder. The Ursa fell on its back while the other charged the wolf.
The wolf grabbed Ruby and moved her away to safety. It turned to the large Ursa and let out a loud howl and ran forward with speed that surprised Weiss. It rolled into a ball under the Ursa feet and opened up behind it and slashed its back multiple times.
The Ursa fell to its knees only to have the wolf jump on its back and stick the chainsaw into the lower back. It pulled up and split the Ursa in half above the waist. The armless Ursa recovered and rushed the metalic wolf. The wolf jumped away and ended up on the side with the missing arm and jumped towards it. It rolled into a ball and went inside the Ursa.
The Ursa stumbled and then let out shrieks of pain. A chainsaw burst out its stomach then started to move around its entire body leaving red stains in its wake. The chainsaw went back inside the Ursa and it stood panting for a few seconds. Then it was blown to multiple large bloody chunks that flew around the clearing leaving the wolf almost floating in the air in the spot the Ursa once stood.
The wolf landed and faced the last three Ursa who knew they were no match and retreated. The wolf let out a victorious howl before jumping into the shadows. Weiss was in disbelief at what she had just seen. The wolf that was supposedly evil came in and saved her and Ruby. Ruby!
Weiss ran to her leader who was still recovering from her lost discussion with the Ursa.
"Are you ok?" Ruby nodded and looked around.
"What happened?" Weiss looked to the shadows and swore she saw a pair of metalic red eyes looking at her. They disappeared and she let a smile come across her lips.
"I'm still trying to figure it out exactly but I have a general idea." Weiss help guide Ruby back to Beacon and could feel a glare on her the entire way back.
After Wolf killed the large bears he watched over the girls as they returned back to the school, making sure they didn't get into any more trouble. Once they reached school grounds he went back to the forest.
"Nice job with those things Wolf. You kept both of those girls alive."
"Only to have to kill another one." Wolf didn't like the idea but knew the other girl was dangerous and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Ya. We'll be here to help you the whole time man."
"Thank you Kevin." Wolf clicked his comms off and looked back to see Weiss staring at the forest. He watched and her gaze fell on him. He reared his head back and let out a final howl before heading into the darkness. He thought he saw a smile cross her lips but he wasn't completly sure. For now, he would wait. Then when the time came he would get his answers and kill Blake.
Weiss smiled as the wolf let out his howl and disappeared into the woods. She started to head back to her dorm but looked back one last time.
"It was nice to see you again...Wolf."
There y'all go. Wolf may be there to kill Blake but that doesn't mean he wants to kill the other students or let them get killed. Or that he really wants to kill Blake. He's a good guy who just so happens to be an expert at killing, hacking, stealth, and other brutal arts. He just sees Blake as a threat that needs to be dealt with.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Only one or two more chapters on this story and then it will carry over once I finish the backgrounds for the other Avatars. Is it bad that I was listening to Rules of Nature, I'm my own Master Now, and It Has to Be This Way while typing this?
I don't think so. Anyways, keep calm and may the Aura be with you.
