An: This will be the last chapter for this story. I'm thinking of rewriting it with this as a base but a lot earlier in the story, like 3-5 years before RWBY vol.1.

After the day of Dance 6:00 am

My team and I headed to the of the 'Haven' team that Cinder was on. We all were set with our 'Combat wear', Jonathan was using an M-16 for now, and Scarlet was using her Uzis.

I was at the front of the group and I saw the door handle glow a reddish. "Trap," I said in surprise as everyone jumped away from the door as it exploded. I felt heat hit my left leg.

"I was wondering when you'd show up," Cinder said as her visible eye started to glow.

"A BOSS FIGHT, it had to be a boss fight," Francisco said in despair as he got up.

"Shut up, and remember your 'training'," I told him as I grinned

Jonathan, as the farthest from the door, started to fire dust rounds at her. With his cover fire, we got up and jumped into the fight. Then her two lackeys jumped in and miss. Green was fighting Scarlet while the asshole, that I fought earlier this week, jumped to fight Brian.

Brian was stuck with blocking the kicks of the jackass as Scarlet was using her Uzi on the Emerald and she was missing her shots. And the Mastermind had some kind of shield around her, which was annoying as hell and different than aura.

"Switch ammo, use the good stuff," I yelled as I gave my gun a new mag filled with our bullets, not dust rounds.

Cinder threw explosive dusts at us causing everyone to be thrown out of the building, including her buddies. I got up and saw that Mercury was the first on his feet and dazed, like everyone. I aim and fired at him, hitting him on the shoulder, stomach, and his left leg. I smiled as his aura didn't help him after the blast.

I scanned around for a quick second. I saw Brian as he was nursing his right shoulder, Jonathan wasn't getting up due to a bloody leg, Scarlet had some wounds from the fall but relatively fine, and Francisco was nearest to me. I went to him and nudged his shoulder a bit but received no response, and then I noticed the small pool of blood coming from his head. I quickly checked his pulse and found none. I was pissed and saw the glowing bitch laughing. That angered me even more.

I started to glow blue and blindly rushed towards Cinder. I was beyond the point to be stopped as I could faintly hear someone yelling.

Brian's POV

Once I got back up I saw Scarlet on top of, and cuffing, the green haired girl while Jonathan had a gun pointed at her head as he laid on the ground.

We all stopped and turned to the sound of a rageful yell. Luis had yelled and was glowing blue. He charged at cinder as she threw more of those explosives at him. He swiped to his left, as glowing blue claws surrounded his hands, and missed the mark. Luis seemed to ignore that he was missing; he was just determined to hurt Cinder. Cinder was just mocking him as he missed every hit.

The staff got here and saw Luis fighting Cinder, but Miss Goodwitch was shocked as she stared at cinder. "Is something wrong Miss Goodwitch," I asked.

"I need to get The Headmaster," Was her only response as she retreated.

Luis's POV

Even in anger, I was always able to make choices to avoid conflict. I was barely able to tell what was happening, and what I could tell was that I was too slow. I started thinking 'I need more speed' and ran to Cinder. I then suddenly appeared in front of her. We both looked shocked, but I was already mid swing for ether one to do anything.

The force from the punch threw her on her back. I became relentless as I got on her and began punching her, getting the upper hand. She blew me back after some 13 or so punches and pulled out the metal ball that brought us here. I was shocked out of my anger, but suddenly someone shot Cinder's hand.

Ruby had shot her and once the ball hit the floor it started to make a swirling noise again. Brian and Scarlet grabbed John by the shoulder straps on the armor and ran as they dragged him away. I yelled to the people, who I finally noticed, that were around us to run. I grabbed the ball and shoulder charged Cinder. Making her face bloody and I turned her over. Still driven by anger, I looked into her eyes and slammed the ball on her chest, knocking the wind out of her. The ball went off, but instead of the lightning show like last time, blowing up taking Cinders midsection and my right hand up to my elbow. A light show happened that went up to the air and back down heading to the headmaster's tower before I passed out.

1 year later

After months of therapy, I finally get out of the hospital along with John and we go see the final resting place of our friend. We then meet up with Brian and Scarlet. Brian states that we're stranded here forever as the ball wasn't salvageable or repairable. He also reminded us we needed money.

"Well, I guess we should start doing shit," I said as I looked at my metallic arm.

AN: this is the last chapter for the original story. I will be remaking this story with less plot bunnies.
