*We've got a noise complaint at Bartholomew Blvd. Anyone copy?*
"Roger that, this is squad car 46. We are in route, I repeat we are in route. Over." replies officer James. "You heard the lady, Will" he said to a bear faunus sitting in the driving seat.
20 minute drive later
Two officers took their weapons out and proceeded to investigate. One of them took out his flashlight and saw a bat-shaped shrunken embedded on the wall. The officers put the object in a bag to take it as evidence for further investigation. As they walked inside, they heard whimpers and soft crying nearby. Turning the corner, they saw people in a cell with tears in their eyes. The cops noticed that ALL of them were Faunus with bruises, cuts and even parts of their ears, tails or horns cut off. One cop tried to calm them down.
"It's okay. We're gonna get you out of here.", he said in the calmest way he can. He opened the cell door, but a female dog Faunus held the door back, surprising the cops. Stuttering, she made out, "It's still here. It saved us.". He was about to ask the woman what 'it' was until...
*CRASH*
"AHHHHHH!", cried out a voice above them startling the cops and frightening the Faunus. Another spoke up, "It was huge! It had wings and its voice was inhuman!", he exclaimed. Slowly, the police officers made their way upstairs. Both split up to find the source of the voice. As they searched, one officer found a man with short black hair and a small beard cuffed up in a ventilation shaft with bruises on his face. He stepped closer to the man...
... until he felt a presence next to him. Slowly, he turned to his right and saw it. It was a figure with a black cape and grey flexible armor perched up on the wall. On it's chest was a symbol of a bat and had a gold belt around his waist. Frantically, he took out his pistol and fired at the figure. The figure was fast and dodged every shot the officer made. It disappeared through the ceiling, but the cop was scared out of his mind and pointed his gun at every place that made the slightest noise. In the doorway, he saw another figure and shot it as well, however it was actually his partner at said doorway. Luckily he didn't get him.
"WILL! WHAT THE HELL?!", yelled the angry James at his partner. Will exclaimed, "Did you see it? Did you see it James?!". Still enraged, Will scolded, "See what?! You almost blew my face off!". The two officers took a small breather until they both calmed down and Joel was able to explain the situation. Will said that he didn't see the figure but he did hear the sound of flapping fabric when James was shooting. Eventually, they went back to the handcuffed man. As they were examining him, the cops noticed something brutal.
"Oh my god," said James before continuing...
"... he branded him.". Indeed, the man was branded with a bat shaped burn on his upper left shoulder
What they didn't notice was the creature returning to the scene, congratulating it's self then leaving once more.
