For the next month, Bruce has been searching for all known information of Neo and the masked woman non stop. He has been in a fury with anyone. When Cardin picked on him about the team missing, He broke his arm in ten places. He has tracked them down to a shipment being moved in Minstrel.

Right now

Driver 2: "OH NO"

The Tumbler plows straight into the second and drags it away from his main target.

Driver 1: "OH, FUCK! Boss, what do we do?!"

'Roman': "Keep going"

He knocks on the horn to signal the men in the trailer. The Tumbler spins around to rejoin the pursuit. Batman gets close and prepares to stop the truck. He toggles the afterburner. As he is about to hit the truck, the back of the trailer opens, revealing a thug holding an RPG. He fire and hits the back of the Tumbler. The rear of the Batmobile explodes.

Thugs: "We got him!" "We ain't afraid."

'Roman' doesn't react to this at all and watches cars pass by. Batman wrestles the pod controls, spinning on the gyro. The Tumbler flips over to come to rest in a smoking heap. The front end intact, rear wheels scattered across the roadway. A small crowd gathers. Batman adjusts his position. Hits a button.

Batcomputer: "Damage catastrophic. Initiate eject and self-destruct. Fully synced to batwave."

Arm guards grab Batman's forearms as explosive bolts fire all around the pod.

Batcomputer: "Goodbye."

The crowd jumps as panels of the front of the car blow out. The crowd stares, open-mouthed, as Batman emerges, hoisted up and out of the flaming car. The Bat-pod shoots forward, bursting free as the Batmobile detonates, dying in a explosion. Batman's cape sucks together, forming a tight pack on his shoulders, clear of the rear tire of the bat-pod. A man in his car stares through his rear-view mirror, transfixed, as the bat-pod tears past. He yelps as the bat-pod smashes the wing mirror from his car. Batman accelerates, oblivious to the amount of cleaved wing mirrors as the bat-pod razors through traffic. He crosses a busy intersection and turns off the crowded lower level street squeezes his triggers- blasting at parked cars, cannoning a path for the pod. The Bat-Pod shoots its machine guns through the glass doors and races through a mall. Civilians screaming and diving out of the way.

Thug: "Boss?"

'Roman' looks ahead to see the Bat-pod emerge from an alley in a cloud of fire, skidding Sideways Impossibly and races towards them. The Bat-pod races straight at 'Romans' truck and fires a harpoon at Romans truck. It impacts low, below the bumper.

Driver: "He missed!"

Batman swerves past Romans truck, slalom's, wrapping the cables around a lamp post, spinning to a halt to watch.

Roman: (looking back) "Oh no."

The cable goes taut, ripping one post from its foundation. The truck's front wheels catch, flipping it end over end. Roman crawls from the wreckage and looks up to see Batman towering over him.

Roman: "Heh, did you think I was the real one, kiddo?"

He is picked up the faker and held him up by his collar.

Batman: "You are going to tell me where your boss is. Or, I will break you without a second thought."

FR: (spits) "Kiss my ass, Junior."

Batman throws him on the ground and puts his foot on his chest, so he cannot get back up. He begins to press buttons on his gauntlet, bringing up controls.

FR: "W-what are you doing?"

He look to his left to see the batpod slowly driving to his head.

FR: "Oh god. (the front wheel presses against his head and the engine reeves) AAAGGGHHH!

STOP, STOP, STOP! OKAY, OKAY!"(The batpod backs off)

Batman: "ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY!"

FR: "They took these four girls a month ago. We haven't done anything to them that I know of. (The batpod returns to his face and shoots it machine guns by his head, getting closer with each shot) NO, NO, NO, NO, NOO! I'LL TELL!"

Batman: "WHERE IS HE KEEPING THEM?!"

FR: "They are being held in a warehouse in Vale. They sent me here to keep you distracted. There is going to be a shipment from the eastern docks tomorrow at nine o'clock"

Batman: "Thank you."

He knocks the man out before turning around and leaving, ready to end this.

In a dark room

Ruby wakes up to see the rest of his team tied to chairs. Over the past month, they have been in these chairs and have not moved, aura depleting gas has been continuously pumped into the room. Other than that, they have had no harm done against them, but it could happen at any time. Every day at noon, a soldier comes in and feeds them. Ruby has been silently reminding herself about Bruce's promise to her.

Ruby: (Whispering) "He will come, he promised he would."

She says this a couple of more time until yang has had enough.

Yang: "FORGET ABOUT BRUCE! HE ISN'T COMING. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT US!"

Blake: (Sharply) "How can you say that? Bruce is our friend, of course he cares."

Yang: "Then where was he when we got kidnapped?"

Mini flashback

Blake P.O.V

One month ago

Bruce: "I have to leave."

Blake: "Why?"

Sun: "Where do you have to go?"

Bruce: "Beacon, Ozpin needs me."

He runs away from the pair, leaving a sad looking Blake and a confused Sun.

Mini Flashback over

Blake did not answer.

Yang: "That's what I thought."

The door opens, revealing Roman and four soldiers behind him.

Roman: "Show time ladies."

The next day,

Bruce is in the batcave, preparing for the next two hours.

Ozpin: "Bruce! Where have you been?"

Bruce: "Where have I been? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

He turns violently towards Ozpin, who is surprised at the outburst.

Ozpin: "You have not been here for over a month and have the nerve to yell at me."

Bruce: "Your god damn right I do. Four of my friends have gone missing and you sit behind that damn desk the whole time, overdosing on coffee!"

Ozpin looks him directly in his eyes and is shocked to see a small spark in them.

Ozpin: 'Oh, no.' "Bruce, I am sorry, but you must not go out there. You have not slept or eaten in a month, you are dehydrated, malnutrition and only functioning because of your aura. You could die tonight."

CRASH

Ozpin goes flying across the room when Bruce punches him in the face. He looks up in astonishment and sees Bruce walking towards the cliff.

Bruce: "Then get ready for a funeral."

He puts in the cowl and leaps right into the batmobile (BVS) and drives off into the tunnels, leaving Ozpin to himself. He gets up from the ground, takes out his scroll and calls Glynda.

Glynda: "Hello?"

Ozpin: "Glynda, I will send you the coordinates of the Batman and team RWBY soon. Get ready to intercept. I will meet you there."

He hangs up without hearing her reply. He takes out the picture of Martha and holds it with a shaky hand.

Ozpin: "He could do it tonight, and I could lose him forever. Please, keep your path, Bruce."

Docks, nine o'clock

Thug: "Alright, we finished loading."

Thug 2: "Let's get this to the warehouse."

Driver: "What about the Batman?"

Thug: "Don't worry about it he is all the way in mistral."

Batman is overlooking the east docks from a building, listening to this conversation. He takes two big block of metal from his belt and connects them. they transform into a rifle of the sort. He takes aim at the truck and pulls the trigger. On the side of the truck, a tracker attaches and starts to blink off and on. Batman puts the rifle away and leaps off the roof.

One of the thugs is looking at himself in the side mirror. Suddenly, a blinding light shines at him and starts to come closer.

Thug: "GET OUT! GO! GO! GO! GO! "

SMASH.

The car starts to flip and lands up side down. After the sound of this goes off, all the other start to drive, shortly followed by the Batman.

Driver: "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"

Thug: "THAT'S THE BAT'S CAR! HE'S AFTER US! GET RID OF HIM!"

Driver: "I'M TRYING!"

Batman notices the change in speed, narrows his eyes and floors the trunk of the car infront of Batman rips off revealing a man with a minigun. He raises his minigun and opens fire on the Batmobile, but the bullets simply ricochet off the windshield as if they were firecrackers. Batman grabs a joystick in the car and pulls the trigger on it, activating the machine guns on the hood of the car. The bullets tear through the car.

Thug: "AAAHHHHHH!"

The batmobile demolishes the car. He has committed his first kill(s) and only drives faster to get the rest.

Thug: "ITS INDESTRUCTABLE!"

Thug: "Oh god! This is bad. We need to get out of here now!"

Thug: "We are almost there, just keep going. (He pulls out a radio) BRING THE TRUCK!"

As they pass a certain point, a gasoline truck drives into Batman's path. He shoot off a couple of bullets and activates the afterburners. The truck blows up, and Batman blows through a building. He drives up the floors to keep his pursuit.

Thug: "(Looking around)Did we lose him?"

Thug: "Yeah, I think we're in the clear."

But as soon as he says it there comes a monstrous roar in the distance. Like a demon screeching into the night. The two thugs turn wildly attempting to determine what direction it came from.

The batmobile crashes through a building and destroys the tops of the truck. It lands and spins out, giving the thugs a chance go make some distance.

Thug: "There it is! Stop the truck."

They come to a screeching stop and jump out of the truck in a mad sprint towards the building. They hear the roaring of the Batmobiles engine on the distance. They enter and run all the way to the third floor before hearing the second floor windows breaking.

Batman looks through his detective vision to see team RWBY in a circle in the middle room two floors above him. Before he can feel relief, one of the men slap Yang hard for trying to headbut him. Batman's anger pushes so hard that he loses conscious, but his body does not fall. It starts to move on its own. The batwave mentions body temperature rising, but the words fall to deaf ears. The edge of the cowl start to melt, but the most shocking part of it.

His eyes are on fire.

the men finally get to the top floor and shut the door.

Leader: "What are you two moving so fast?"

Thug: "The bat is here."

The men begin to barricade the door and gather arms. The girls themselves get worried about what will happen. Suddenly a Tower of fire explodes from underneath them, making them scream. The thugs turn around to see each of the four being thrown into each corner. Out of the tower, comes little pieces that attach to their guns. The fire stops as the guns explode, one by one. One man who was able to save his gun, starts to shoot down the whole, thinking that Batman is still down there. The truth is revealed to him by a flaming grapple rope through the thigh.

Thug: "AHH! IT BURNS."

He is holsted upside down. Batman finally shows himself by landing on one of the unexpecting Thugs. He smack his head down and brings his arms up, burning his arms, and fires at the rst of the thugs who jump out of the way. Team RWBY pull their heads down to avoid being shot. Batman then throws the man away, reloads his grapple gun and turns to a man who has his pistol ready to fire. he shoots the grapple and it impale the man's shoulder, creating a fiery hole. Batman pulls back, drawing the man towards him and give him a literal flame fist. You can hear the man's entire ribcage break upon impact. He is sent soaring into the hole in the floor.

A man comes out of a room with a grenade as Batman pulls out a batarang, which is completely covered in flames seconds after it is taken out. he throw it at a thug, still shocked by his entrance. The blade pierces his chest and impales the Blake as he falls down, lifeless.

Weiss: "BEHIND YOU!"

He turns around to see the man with the grenade. he kicks the man hanging upside down off of the grapple rope. They both land in the room the man came out of. Not a second later, the grenade goes off as Batman goes through different members. He gives the last man a brutal uppercut before dodging the blade of a new thug. On his third swing, Batman grabs him by his chest, his fingers melting their way into the thug's chest, and picks him up. He slams him into the ground. When he impacts, Batman's hand goes straight through his chest.

Team RWBY watches in horror as Batman tears through each member. This is the first time anyone has seen him kill.

Thugs on the other side of the room fire their pistols until they run out of bullets, then they drop their guns and pull out blades. Batman runs to that side of the room. He vaults over box, while in mid air, he shoots the grapple at the box and throws it across the way. Everyone but one thug gets out of the way in time. The unlucky thugs head impacts against the wall, knocking him out. One of the thugs reload his gun and fires at the Batman, knocking the grapple gun out of his hand. A stray bullet hits the side of his neck. If you look closely, you can see the mask has become loose from that.

Batman gets up and charges at the four remaining. He punches one in the stomach and holds on, punches one in the ribs before going back to the first guy with a punch to the face. He receives a slash to the back of the neck, but it reflects off of the armor. Batman the punches a different man in the face fiercely, blocks another knife slash, and headbuts the last man. He elbows the first man off of his feet, then blocks two slashes with his gauntlet blades. The last man swings, but he catches the arm, burning the skin in the process and elbows the third guy in the face as well. Batman comes back, partially breaks the last mans arm and kicks out the third mans leg. He grabs the third guy's arm, giving him the same treatment the last, and blocks the third guys slash. He then spartan kicks him across the room and stabs the third guys leg with his own blade, uppercuts the second guy and straight punches the first. He turns, his fist covered in flames, and punches the guy into the floor boards leaving a fist shaped half hole in his head. The third guy rushes, but it placed face first into the floor. Batman then starts to repeatedly punch him with his flame fists, until he is shot in the back of the head.

Time slows down for Yang and Blake as the cowl flies off of Batman's head revealing Bruce, who look tired and hungry. His fire eyes seem to be illuminating the room. Everything starts to connect in their heads as they see this.

Yang/Blake: 'Bruce is Batman!/'

The man shoots again, but the bullet is reflected by some sort of forcefield. (You know what I mean) Bruce then turns around and grabs wrestles the man for the gun, but settles with just throwing him over his shoulder and breaking his arm on his leg.

Ruby/Blake/Yang: "Watch out!" "Behind you!" "LOOK OUT!"

They yell, but are unheard over the man's screaming. One punches him in the face with a fist of rocks(they still have aura), and the other grabs him by the cape to pull him. Bruce start to crawl backwards as he block the two's attacks. Blade against gauntlet, rocks against fire. He does this until he decides to attack the man with the blade with his forearm, leaving three holes in him. He moves to hit the second, but his kick by a rock covered foot and stabbed in the shoulder. This causes him writhe in pain and the girls to look in sadness and fear.

Bruce's eyes seem to glow silver, before the fire around them doubles. He kicks the man with the earth semblance with a fire covered foot, sending him across the room in a fireball, then does a handstand to knee the man who stabbed him in the face. He stand in a crouch before turning to said man. He walks to him, pins him to the wall and stabs him and stabs him with a knife made completely of flames. Bruce then turn sharply, takes the blade out his shoulder and throws it at a boulder being hauled in his direction. The two meet and explode on impact. He looks past the dust to see the last guy leaning against the wall, his leg is bleeding profusely as he stares at Bruce, who narrows his eye. He turns into a cloud of bats what rush at him.

last guy: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Glynda is waiting for Ozpin in front out the building that matches the coordinates he gave her. She has noticed the Batmobile, but is focused more on Ozpin's arrival.

Glynda: "Ozpin, where are you?"

As she says this, a bull head come into view and lands. The side door opens, revealing Ozpin who starts running towards the building.

Glynda: "What took you so long?"

Ozpin doesn't answer and keeps going. Glynda looks at his back before chasing to catch up with him.

The pair go up the stair. They see the window on the second floor has been broken in from the outside. Before they reach the fourth floor, they here crying. When they reach, they look in horror at the room.

There are dead bodies everywhere. Different things are on fire. The freshest body has been literally ripped in half. The Batman's cowl is lying on the ground. Glynda walks towards the cowl and lifts it up with her semblance so her fingerprints aren't on it.

Glynda: "What do you think happened to him Ozpin? (No response) Ozpin?"

She turns to see him looking at something. She follows his eyes to see Team RWBY hugging the kneeling form of Bruce in the batsuit in the middle of the seat. His eyes are glowing silver and on fire as he cries. His forearms and hands are red with blood. He is looking at Ozpin solemnly before looking at me.

Bruce: "I-I'm Sorry."

Glynda can only look at the broken boy in front of her.

Ozpin: 'Bruce.'

He sheds a single tear, that makes him look down and cry harder.

I'm sorry.
