New Challenger

He could taste the discomfort in the air.

Shielding himself in the shadows, he watched as the men and women below him moved around, some standing guard while others moved around boxes of either ammunitions or files.

Booooooring.

But, the fact that half of them were keeping their eyes out for something to come along and try to fuck up their night made him practically giddy with excitement. He could practically feel their eagerness to pull their triggers at whoever killed all of their buddies last night.

Too bad they wouldn't do them any good.

Silently snaking his way across the rooftop, he leaped over the edge before landing without a sound on the alleyway below. Still remaining in the shadows, he crept up behind two guards as they looked over their comrades while they worked.

He grinned like a jackal at the fact that he wasn't even a few centimeters away from the animal-like duo, and yet even with their so called 'heightened senses', they had no idea he was right there.

"So I'm gonna ask the obvious question." The guard on the right asked. He was a tall male with chiseled features, a strong jaw and long blond hair. He also had a pair of blonde ferret ears sticking out from the top of his helmet. "Does anyone know what the hell killed our guys last night over on the Charter district?"

"Nope, not a clue." the other guard answered, a girl at about the age of twenty with short black hair and a pair of dog ears sticking out from her head. "All we know is that it wasn't human."

He couldn't help but let out a soundless chuckle from the irony of their words.

Human? They speak as if they were people themselves. He didn't know much of this world, but he did know that these things in front of him were called 'Faunus'.

To him, it looked like God didn't pull out of Mother Nature fast enough or something.

"Some sort of Grimm?" The blond man-thing asked. "We've had groups of Grimm attack our guys before."

"Yeah, but that's off in our bases that aren't in cities." The girl said with a bit of irritation. "Besides, if it were Grimm, then they probably would have been seen by others, or at least gave our guys enough time to call for backup. Whoever, or whatever it was, they did it fast enough where most of them didn't even have time to call for reinforcements."

"Okay, so not Grimm, and a really fast attack." The blond seemed to mull it over. "So what, you think it was some organized gang?"

"That's all that I can think off." The girl said as she scratched her chin in thought. "But I can't think of anyone crazy enough to attack the White Fang."

Aaaaaaaand here's his cue.

"Well, I don't know about you shit heads," He said to gain the two guard's attention as he placed a hand against his chest and grinned. "But I believe I qualify as pretty fucking crazy."

Satisfaction came over him like a flame as he saw the two guards reel back in both surprise and horror from his presence. The girl raised her rifle up to shoot at him, but he didn't give her a chance as he whipped his braid forward and grabbed the gun before he lunged forward and kicked the girl in the face hard enough to crack her mask as she was sent into the wall.

The blonde also tried to attack him, but instead only had a sword strapped to his hip, which he now tried to pull out. Still holding on to the girl's gun, he whipped that at the man's face as he walked over to him. The guy had managed to get his sword out, however, and tried to swing it at the blue braid that was trying to beat him to death.

Much to his surprise, his blade clanged against it as if it were metal and sent a jolt of pain up his arm.

As the blonde faunus slid to the ground, he watched helplessly as the...Thing that had snuck up on them turn his attention to his fellow White Fang member and loomed over her as he reached down with one braid and wrapped it around her throat.

Lifting her about three feet in the air, the blonde faunus watched as the girl started to thrash around in his grasp as she started to choke.

"Awww, practicing the noises you were gonna make for your boyfriend over there?" He asked as he brought the girl inches from his face as she thrashed around.

The girl tried to say something, but her airways were currently being squeezed with the force of a gorilla.

"L-Let her go!" The man tried to yell, but it came out as hardly more than a small squeak.

The Thing's head whipped around to him, it's grin stretching to almost impossible lengths.

"What was that?" He asked with sick glee as he started walking up to the blond faunus. "I couldn't hear it over the sound of you being a bitch!"

Holding his hand up, he then jabbed forward and slammed his palm into the White Fang member's face. But, before he could hit the wall, another one of the braids shot behind him and smacked him with it back towards him.

Right before he roundhouse kicked the faunus in the head hard enough to obliterate his skull into red mush and liquid with a loud crack!

Flinching from the loud noise, he looked over to the opening of the alleyway with a slight frown.

Looked like this was his cue to leave.

Hearing the other gang members shouting in alarm nearby, he jumped over to the end of the alleyway and onto the wall, the female White Fang member still held by the throat with his braid as he used his hands and feet to crawl up the side of the wall before other animal people could find him.

Reaching the rooftop, he didn't stop there, instead continuing to get away as he sprinted from rooftop to rooftop as he heard the questioning murmurs to shouts of alarm.

He guessed they had probably found the body.

As he leaped over a twenty foot gap, he had to fight the urge to go back down there and rip those other animals a new one. He had stopped for a second today when he spotted the news reports of a large scale massacre on the animal-people's gang.

Even if his first run hadn't made it onto news, he still wasn't about to let some new-guy asshole try and copy him.

He'd let this be for now. He was still full from that orange haired punk he had found wandering about earlier.

But as he looked over to the girl who was still his captive, he felt as though he still had enough space left for this one.

A few seconds later, when they were half way across the city, he stopped moving before bringing the girl up to his face, who was still conscious.

"Well, I don't normally like to eat out on the first date…" He said with a smile as he slammed the girl down on the ground. Walking up to her and taking off her mask with his hands, he was glad to see the fear in his eyes.

He could practically taste it.

"But I think i'll make an exception for you, baby doll." he licked his lips in anticipation as he threw the helmet over his shoulder.

The last thing she would ever see is the strange human-like creature's jaw unhinging to impossible lengths as it snapped forward.
