Hey guys, I'm back! I'm so sorry that I have not posted anything in almost a month, but with finals and graduation e.e I have had my hands full keeping my final credit high enough to get my diploma. I managed to pass my finals and I get my diploma on Sunday so now I have time to give you guys a chapter, but I don't know how long it will be since it's been so long. Anyways, lets get to it!
...
Gathering the Team Leaders into Ozpin's office was no small feat but was made possible somehow with enough room to not crush everyone. It more then likely was the fact that none of the first years were here, since they had only just got their own teams. Tai found himself between Jaune and Ruby, the three having come from the arena just an hour before the students were crammed into the Headmaster's office.
The Headmaster in question was standing at the front of the office with his ever present assistant and fellow professor, Glynda Goodwitch, at his side, how they kept their love life from the rest of the student body was beyond Tai. The gray haired man tapped his cane of the floor to silence the quiet murmurs in the room before he began to speak himself.
"Students, You may be wondering why I have called all Team Leaders from Second Year and up to my office..." He looked around, noting that most of the teenagers did seem a bit confused. "I will state this now...what you are about to say might be disturbing to you, most of all to our faunas students, but you must be made aware of what is going on at this moment." He turned to Glynda who nods and walks of to the side as a screen lowered and the lights dimmed. "Nearly a Hour ago, the Vale Military had found one of the White Fang hideouts in the wilderness bordering the Kingdom of Vale. What they found was...surprising." With a signal to Gylnda, the professor began to play the video.
On screen was what was clearly a film from a some sort of portable camera that was given to soldiers for scouting and recon. The screen bounced and shook as the holder was trying to line it up. The scene finally came into focus, and by the sounds a few of the students made, it was as disturbing as Ozpin said. Even Tai felt his blood run cold as the screen flickered with the unfolding carnage.
It looked like the White Fang was turning on itself, Faunas clad in black were attack white White clad bothers, and it was clear the Black dressed ones were winning. The men filming mad murmured comments as a group of noncombatants were running away, only to be cut down by the black uniformed ones. If the White Fang was considered a Terrorist group, these guys took it farther. The black clad faunas were clearly better trained, better equipped and were not afraid to slaughter what was in their path.
Tai let his eyes run over the view on screen as he tried to gauge what was going on.
"Seems like something went wrong?" Crimson spoke inside his head, of course it would add it's opinion.
"Hush" Tai thought to himself...Crimson...whatever. He looked at the screen until he saw something that chilled him to his core, made his eyes go as wide as saucers and his breath to catch in his throat.
"Oh that's not good..." Crimson mumbled.
On the screen was a male in black and red, swinging around what seemed to be a sword of some type, but Tai was not looking at that, he was looking at the mans face...he had the mask.
Tai turned and shoved his way through the crowd that blocked the door, not caring for the complaints that came as his feet skid on the polished floor of the hall before he bolted own it, not having a plan were to go yet but on one thought on his mind.
Why did they have that mask?!
He had some calls to make once he was alone...
...
Like I said, I had no real plan on the length of the chapter, but I wanted to get this out...a new sect of Faunas has surfaced and seem to be slaughtering the White Fang. Maybe they will be explained in the next chapter, or maybe they vanish till they strike again...we will see, till then Arrix out!
