I've watched the Titanfall trailer at least 20 times (Who hasn't) and decided it would be time for Demon to get some upgrades... even though he doesn't need them... he's already too badass... but then again... NOTHING IS BADASS ENOUGH!

Chapter 13:

After a very painful meeting with the others, Demon was honestly surprised he wasn't being brought back to Beacon in a body bag. He had been able to outrun the others pretty easily given his pilot training and being in the middle of a city, but eventually Pyrrha had grabbed a trashcan lid and managed to throw it and hit him mid-jump, causing him to fall in his plight to escape certain doom. Yang had almost stayed true to her word about breaking his legs, being continuously urged on by Nora, but settled for just knocking him out. He had been taken back to Beacon and managed to sleep through the entire night before waking up early in the morning. He found he was dumped hastily on the bed, not at all comfortable, and he had a massive headache. He quietly got out of bed and looked over at the other two humans. Kira and Rosaline were both sleeping peacefully, smiles of content strewn on their faces. His thoughts were interrupted by a foreign voice in his head.

"Just a knife to the throat and their lives will end…"

Demon was distressed at the strange voice invading his head. He had only heard this voice once before… and after he did… nothing survived. He punched himself in the head, trying to right whatever was happening.

Hmmm… that was an extremely 'Yang' thing to do…

He waited for a few more minutes in bed, seeing if the voice would re-emerge once again. He held his wingman to his throat, not taking any chances if the voice took over like last time. Growing tired of waiting after a short while he checked the time. 7.45am. Quickly setting a waypoint on his HUD, he made his way to the training grounds.

He made it there and began doing his usual training routine. 100 push-ups, 100 one-handed push-ups for both arms, 200 sit-ups and finally 100 pull-ups on the bar. After completing his routine, he was thoroughly sweating in his armour, a downside of the badass coat being that it made it extremely hot. He righted this problem by taking it off, obviously, and began his workout again. Instead of doing the normal this time, he just went over and began kickboxing a punching bag. He gave it a good beating before he grew tired again and just kicked a hole straight through the bag.

"Overkill much?" came a voice from a couple of metres away. Demon turned and saw Yang was setting up to begin bench-pressing about 500kg.

"Nah… I'll pay for it late… and can you seriously believe you can lift that weight?"

She replied by simply picking it up with one arm and twirling it around a bit.

"Ok, forget I ever asked…"

"So… what are you doing up so early?"

"Well, considering I got an early sleep thanks to you, I decided that I should probably train a bit so that I at least stand a chance against one of you guys."

"Hey! You stand a chance!"

He tilted his head a bit.

"Ok… so I guess we would destroy you in a fight"

He nodded before bringing up another punching bag and began boxing with it. After a few minutes, he heard a bell off to his left. He turned to see Yang standing in the middle of a boxing ring, taunting him to join. He shook his head and jumped into the ring, Yang beginning to smirk.

"I'll go easy on you, tough guy…"

"Bring it on…"

Yang charged at him and began by throwing a wild right hook. Demon quickly sidestepped this and took the opportunity to jab Yang in the gut. She looked a bit bewildered that someone had managed to land a hit on her but she just continued to smile at the challenge. She relaunched her attacks, her hair now glowing a faint gold, while Demon was furiously having to parry attacks away. He knew that if he even tried to block a strike he would end up with a broken limb… so he just settled with having to dodge every attack. As they fought, Yang was smiling the whole time, showing that she was indeed going easy on him. After taking several hits all over his body he eventually he managed to assess her fight patterns and, after waiting for the right moment, he attacked suddenly after parrying a jab to the gut, managing to kick Yang straight in the kneecap with an exoskeleton enhanced boot. She was totally unprepared for the attack and was sent into the side of the ring. Demon just stood where he was, slightly jogging as he did, watching as Yang collected herself from the attack.

"That's cheating!"

"When were rules specified?"

"I guess you're right…" she said as she held out her two arms and suddenly her two gauntlets flew out of nowhere and attached themselves to her arms. He looked and saw the rest of team RWBY at the sides of the ring, Blake and Weiss were the ones who threw Ember Celica.

"We still haven't got you back for ditching us in the city…" deadpanned Yang, smashing her fists together.

"You knocked me out!"

"Yes… and I said I would break your legs!... I just didn't want to do it with a crowd…"

"OH COME ON!" shouted Demon as he jumped out of the arena, knocking over Weiss as he did, grabbed his coat and began sprinting out of the training area, team RWBY in tow. He turned on his parkour kit and began wall-running to gain more momentum. As he did, he heard two shotgun blasts and turned to see Yang flying towards him, hair now in a full blaze of gold.

You have got to be kidding me…

He jumped off the wall, narrowly avoiding the golden missile that slammed into it barely a second later, causing a large crater where she landed. He didn't have any time to rest as a swirling white glyph appeared beneath him.

NOPE!

He sidestepped while running and missed being turned into an ice cube, courtesy of Weiss, although Ruby accidentally managed to step into it and caught her foot in a block of ice. He managed to make it into the wide courtyard of the academy, the massive fountain dominating his view. He sprinted towards it, finding it to be the only source of cover he could find. As he did he heard the air behind him moving. In a moment he dived onto his knees, activating his parkour kit to keep momentum, and avoided being caught by Gambol Shroud's ribbon. Just as he thought he had avoided the threat, the pistol on the end of the ribbon fired and the gun swept back around.

SHIT!

He had to grab his knife with his off hand, due to hi still holding his coat in his right, and deflect the blade before it lodged itself in his chest, managing to knock it off its course. He continued to the fountain and stopped just in front of it, turning to see the entirety of team RWBY standing with weapons raised.

"Ok, how about you give up now and you won't have to run anymore and we'll only break your legs… it's a win, win situation"

"I GET MY LEGS BROKEN!"

"Exactly… that's a win for me…"

He quickly attached his coat and looked behind the girls, smiling at what he saw.

"Ok girls… I'll go with you if you can hit me!" taunted Demon, tapping on the side of his cheek as he did.

Yang immediately took the opportunity to rush forward and go to punch him. Just as her fist was an inch from his face, she heard a voice behind her that made her stop.

"MISS XIAO LONG!" came the voice of Miss Goodwich from behind her teammates.

All of team RWBY jumped back at the sudden interference and Yang's face drooped.

"Yes miss?" asked Yang, stepping back from the smug Demon.

"May you inform me as to why you were chasing Mr Demon here and why I was receiving complaints about shotgun blasts?"

She was about to reply but was stopped by Miss Goodwich holding up a finger.

"Let me guess… he started it…"

Yang looked down in defeat, grumbling some excuses about how it was.

"Well… you might want to not go destroying campus property again, especially when you could be going up against him today in class…"

Yang raised her eyebrows at this comment.

"We don't have combat class today Miss."

"Well, if you had bothered to check the schedule that was emailed to your scroll, you will find that all classes this week have been cancelled so that qualifying for the Vytal Festival can take place."

All the members of team RWBY fist bumped into the air.

"But that still does not excuse you from trying to kill Mr Demon…"

"We were only trying to break his legs!" retorted Yang, only earning another scowl from Goodwich.

"Remember class is in 10 minutes…" scolded Goodwich before she waved her wand and all the ruined areas were put back in place. Before Demon could face the wrath of an angry team RWBY he activated his cloak and went off back to his pod. He opened the door and was greeted by Vanessa in a MARVN still hunched over his workbench. As he closed the door behind him and a wide smile emoji greeted him.

"SIR! IT'S AMAZING!"

"Ok Vanessa… calm down. What happened?"

"Well… I built everything from your plans bar one and they worked with 145% efficiency from what was proposed!"

"So I get even more badass gear?"

"Yup…"

"Yay for me… so hand em over…"

Vanessa hesitantly pulled out a few things from a box she had at the side of the bench and handed them to Demon. He looked them over before nodding in approval. Vanessa wasn't done yet as she walked over to the weapons rack and pulled off a rather large looking rocket launcher. Demon's eyes watered as he saw the tool of destruction put before him and he hastily looked it over.

"Now Sir, go easy with it… I've only been able to produce 3 cartridges for it"

"Well Vanessa… you have authorization to control all available spectres, other than the one Sid is using, so that you can begin mass-production"

"Sir… some of the materials are unavailable in this world…"

"And what would they be?"

"Well… the uranium needed for those rocket launcher cartridges is one…"

"You'll find some on the Atlas…"

"What?"

Demon just casually walked over to his other Atlas titan and climbed up so he was above the storage pack. He reached in and fumbled around for a while before pulling out a large case with a radioactive symbol on it. He checked it down to Vanessa and she scrambled to reach it before it hit the ground, just barely making it. She carefully set it down on the table and opened it, revealing several glowing rods of uranium.

"How did you…"

"Well… you'd be surprised what you find in the deactivated core of damaged Titans"

She just made a weird mechanical groaning noise before activating the other spectres on the rack. They all jumped down and began an assembly line to begin making everything. He smiled and bit Vanessa adue before grabbing all his new gear, attaching it to the straps on his armour, and walked to class hefting his new rocket launcher on his back…

So… I'm going to fight them… just have to make sure I have a… technological advantage…

He smiled as he thought of the sheer destruction he could cause with this baby…

They won't know what hit them…
