Chapter 8

More Months Later

I sat down reluctantly. Ever since two months ago, I had been assigned as Ruby's trainer. Mostly because Zephyr's horrible teaching skills, slightly Yang getting angry at Zephyr for 'sexualizing' Ruby. So thus, I had been forced to join them on a trip to Vale. The other mentors had been busy (lucky bastards) and left me alone. It was actually the first time any one of the Origin System Tenno had visited the city, so I knew I was going to get loads of weird looks. I crossed my arms and leaned back in my seat, trying to ignore an ecstatic Ruby shouting in my face.

"-you are going to love it! All of the weapon stores and stuff-"

"RUBY! FOR THE LOVE OF THE OROKIN, SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" I finally lost it, clutching my helmet. The entire ship shut up and looked at me.

"You practically dragged me here, without consent, while I am clearly upset. The least you could do is leave me alone," I continued in a softer tone. Some conversations started back up as we began flying. RWBY started talking to each other so that I couldn't hear. Ruby seemed upset, but she wasn't dragged into an unfamiliar and dangerous place with annoying people while only having four hours of sleep. Therefore, not a fuck is given this day.

"We're here," My thoughts were interrupted by one of my companions. I don't care who it was. If you were practically asleep right now, you wouldn't either.

I stepped outside and already started getting weird looks. I swear, every conversation immediately became about me. I kept my helmet on just in case any of the women here were those kinds of people. I didn't consider myself handsome, but Banshee always said I was. That could be just because she's my girlfriend, but I like to play it safe.

"Where do you want to go Volt?" Ruby asked me, clearly trying to make up for earlier.

"Bed."

"Whoa man, didn't know you were that kind of guy," Yang teased.

"You know, I'm too tired to care right now," I said flatly. Yang seemed disappointed with my lack of reaction, but nonetheless continued. I really didn't need to try to ignore her, I just stayed in my head. I took looks around without moving my helmet to survey the area and observe the people. I began running possible combat scenarios in my head to stay awake.

I remained my boring self, even when we entered that swimsuit store that Yang tried to embarrass me with. I thought it would be kind of funny seeing this fully armored and vigilant warrior in a women's swimwear shop. I didn't have my weapons (Except my Castanas and Nikana that I had in Void storage), but I didn't need them to look badass.

After a long period of time, we stopped at a café to get lunch. I took a quick nap in the seat. I wasn't hungry because of the long times I spent without food on invasions and survival missions. I was rudely awoken by the sound of screaming and shouting. I shot up from my seat and looked over to the source.

Apparently, there had been a protest going on down the street. I noticed several people with weapons emerging from the crowd and charging at many random people on the street. I sprang to action and pulled out my Nikana, blocking another sword strike. The attacker flinched in surprise, allowing me to kick him in the stomach and smack him on the back of the neck.

The terrorists weren't shocked for long, because some of the others began charging in a large group. I took out my Castanas and threw one into the center of the group, triggering it and electrocuting them all. I noticed one sneaking up on me with a knife. I whipped around and slashed his hand, causing him to drop the weapon and giving me an opening to crescent kick him in the face. Two charged me from opposite sides, but I just jumped straight up and scissor kicked them both in the face.

I switched to the offensive, lashing out at one terrorist as I landed, disarming him. I proceeded to do disarms and incapacitations in the most efficient way possible. People watched in fear and admiration as I eliminated my enemies. When I finished the last one, a mocking clap echoed behind me. I turned to see a large man with a metallic mask with red eyes. He also was wearing a white shirt that had a symbol of a wolf with three claw marks behind it.

"Hey, so the hero in spandex comes to save the day," The brute said in fake congratulation "too bad I'm here to break up the party". He pulled out a huge chain gun and began raining fire on me. I activated Speed and sprinted up a building, trying to get height on him. He started firing on the supports for the buildings, causing them to collapse behind me as I freeeran across the structures. I got to an angle where the sun would be in his eyes and jumped at him. His accuracy decreased a substantial amount, allowing me to tank the few shots I took. When I landed in front of him he tried to smack me in the face with his gun, but I caught it and injected a lethal amount of electricity into it. He twitched and spasmed before falling to the floor, most likely dead.

"Dare to provoke, dare to suffer," I whispered into his ear, just in case he was still alive.

I stood and observed the scene. There were bullet holes coating the street and surrounding buildings. Entire structures were collapsed or collapsing to the ground. Unconscious bodies littered the road. I got ready to fight at the sound of sirens closing in on my position. Three vehicles came around the corner with flashing red and blue lights. They had the letters VPD on the side.

"Freeze!" A man shouted, getting out of the car and pointing a pistol at me. I snickered at the sight of the puny firearm.

"No," I said simply, smirking.

"Put your hands up and weapons on the ground, or we will use lethal force!" Another commanded, assembling the men in a semicircle around me.

"…Try it. Try it and see what happens," I growled menacingly, putting on a wicked grin. The men started firing at me, only for the bullets to bounce of my shields and disintegrate. I just walked up to the man in the center, who shivered in fear. I pulled out my Nikana and slashed his chest, causing him to drop to the floor.

"Please state the nature of the medical emergency," I said calmly before walking off. I sat back at my seat and began drinking my tea that I had ordered earlier. RWBY just looked at me, dumbfounded.

"Wow, still hot. That deserves and extra tip," I pulled out a few lien, which I had been given to me by Hayden, and set it on the table.

"You attacked a police officer!" Weiss shouted after recovering from shock.

"A what?" I asked, confused.

"You know, like the guys that take you to jail when you break the law?" Yang tried to familiarize me with the concept.

"Sorry if I was born into a world of interplanetary war. The only thing I broke were bones and dreams," I said calmly. A nice hot cup of tea always helps me cool down. Kind of contradictory, but eh, whatever.

"Well this isn't your home. You can't do whatever you want-" Weiss began.

"Yes I can," I said quickly "just dangle some money in their face and put a gun to their head and you get what you want,"

"But bribery is illegal!" Ruby pointed out.

"A fully loaded Orgis and fifty thousand credits says otherwise," I smirked, knowing I won.

"What if someone here is stronger than you?" Blake commented from inside her book.

"I've killed two J-2000 Golems. Nothing is stronger than those things," I countered.

"What if I was stronger than that thing?" Yang asked in a challenging manner.

"What if there were no hypothetical questions?" I retorted, smiling "I win."

"Why do you assume that everything here is weaker than you? Certainly you would be at a disadvantage from that guess," Weiss asked, making me happy that Frost's training was working.

"I don't assume that everything is too weak. I just know when something is stronger or weaker than me. I developed that skill to be able to know when a strategy is useful," I remained defensive of my point. I can fight with words and weapons.

"Let's just go home. I'm tired of this," Yang sighed, defeated.

Unknown Location – 23:00

"Which one of those kids did you lose to now?" Torchwick sighed, leaning over a map that was laid out on a table.

"This wasn't someone I've seen before, assuming that it even was a person," A White Fang official tried to explain his defeat.

"Could it really have been that hard? Just shoot the damn thing and get on with it," Torchwick growled, starting to get annoyed.

"No, it moved lightning fast and was an expert at combat. It shot lightning out of its hands and ran on walls like there was no gravity. It knocked out all of my men in a matter of seconds!" The official complained.

"Listen up you idiot, I gave you all of the resources you would need to kill any person on this planet! If you can't, then that's just you being a shitty fighter! Get out of here and take your insane ramblings with you," Torchwick got up from the table, rounding on the man and getting in his face. The faunas mumbled a "yes sir" and exited the room. Roman sighed, frustrated.

"Oh Roman, don't punish him. He had some brilliant information," A voice echoed from around a large stack of boxes. Cinder rounded the corner, this time not accompanied by Emerald and Mercury.

"The man was crazy! What was I supposed to do?" The crime lord complained.

"Look at the facts," She said calmly, producing a scroll playing a video of the event from the news. Roman grinned at the part where it slashed the police officer.

"He clearly had some highly advanced weapons technology. Control has taken great interest in this. Now, we are tasked with tracking down this individual and any comrades, and stealing the technology for ourselves," Cinder pocketed the scroll and began walking away. Torchwick looked at his cane and imagined it shooting huge missiles.

"But we must be patient, this will not be a simple task."

Ooh, pointless cliffhanger. Sorry for the delayed release, I really started thinking about stuff for 'What I Always Wanted' and had a hard time coming up with ideas. Next chapter will be from Frost's perspective and will be about him and Weiss going to the Schnee mansion during a short time for a school break. I hope you enjoyed, and if you have read or are reading my other (active) story, that will be updating soon. Sorry for the short chapter, just due to the fact that I just wanted to get this plot point out of the way and make way for the next one. Also, woo! 1,000 views! Thanks a lot, it really is a huge milestone. Here's to 1,000 more! Anyway, that's enough rambling, I'll see you guys later. Necrorizah, out.
