Crimson was walking around the White Fang's secret hide out under Mt. Glenn. He wore a White Fang mask to conceal his identity. It covered his entire face (like the White Fang lieutenant's), only allowing for his blood red hair to show. He had let it grow out down to his shoulders since he was 'recruited' by Cinder. The White Fang members had heard from others about Crimson, and they tried to stay away from him at all times.
An distant explosion got Crimson's attention. The sounds of fighting coming from the back of the train was slowly growing.
"Everyone get ready we are leaving now!" Roman Torchwick's voice boomed over the loud speakers. Crimson hopped on the train as it began to move.
"What's going on?" Crimson found a White Fang member who had come from the train car behind his.
"Four Huntresses and a Huntsman found us. They might be on the train." Crimson smiled under his mask.
"Go tell Roman that I'll deal with the Huntresses." The White Fang member nodded and ran off to the next car. Crimson readied his sword for them. He was ready, Cinder had taught him more than Beacon ever had. If his hypothesis was correct it would be a group of first year students. They would be easy to take down, especially due to his semblance.

Yang, Blake, and Weiss hopped down into a train car. The some-what lit room allowed them to see just enough to see the other end of the car.
"I guess this is what we trained for." Yang readied her gauntlets.
"Here this should help you." Weiss handed Blake a clip of dust rounds. She took it and loaded the clip into Gambol Shroud.
They began to walk forward when the door on the other side opened up. Crimson stepped out drawing his sword with a metal ringing.
"Well, well, well. It looks like it's my lucky day, a group of first years. Though where is your leader, where is Ruby?" His mask muffled his voice so that they couldn't tell who it was.
"We can take him." Yang got into her fighting stance. So did Weiss and Blake.
"You would think." Crimson activated the wind dust in his sword making it swing faster and lighter. He lunged at Yang.
Weiss rushed him and blocked his attack. Crimson's sword was just inches away from Weiss' face. Crimson switched to fire dust causing the blade to burst into flames forcing Weiss to push him back.
She went to use a speed glyph, but she couldn't. Crimson formed a gravity glyph under Weiss sending her into the roof of the train car.
Yang and Blake went after him. Crimson created a speed glyph under Yang sending her to the other side of the car. He slashed at Blake hitting a clone. He pulled out a rope dart and threw it at Blake. It was made of the same Dust infused metal as his sword.
Blake not expecting the dart didn't doge. It hit her in the side just barely sticking into her side. It began to glow white then stopped. The dart was yanked out and she was sent flying backwards with a speed glyph.
Yang went to punch Crimson in the back. She tripped a little when the attacker vanished like Blake did. It was one of the many tricks Cinder had taught Crimson. He could steal as many semblances as he needed.
He activated an glyph under Yang's feet and activated the ice dust in his sword freezing her in place. Weiss got back up activated the ice cylinder on her rapier and stabbed the floor of the train sending ice in Crimson's direction. Her attack hit another clone as Crimson rushed over to Weiss.
He activated the earth dust making the blade of mejeærsker longer and tougher. He brought the sword down on Weiss. She paired the attack sending the blade and sparks into the ground. Crimson activated the wind and earth dust to making the blade longer and faster.
He swung it across her midsection. She barely had time to blocked it. With a loud clang the two swords collided. She was struggling against the force of Crimson's attack. Blake got up and rushed Crimson.
He dogged out of the way leaving a clone. Blake slammed into Weiss knocking them both on the ground. Crimson threw his dart at Yang who was trying to break free of the ice.
She let out a cry of pain as the dart pierced her aura. Crimson now had all three of their semblances, they were all completely defenseless.
Blake ran at Crimson and slashed at his back. He dogged the attack and using Yang's semblance, punched Blake in the side sending her flying into the wall.
Crimson walked over to where Yang stood frozen. He froze the rest of her up to her hands so that she couldn't move. He sheathed his sword then lifted her head up with his hand and looked into he lilac eyes.
"You're not as tough as your friend was. What was his name, ah yes Crimson." she tried to break free to get at him.
"You killed him!" Crimson began to laugh. He stepped back and pulled out his sword.
"This was his blade was it not?" Yang over looked the sword, and sure enough it was Crimson's
"You stole it from his dead body!" The ice was beginning to crack at Yang's attempts to break free.
"You know he didn't like you the way you liked him. In fact he told me that he hated you, and he wished that he never met you." Crimson pointed his sword at Yang. His idea was working perfectly.
"No you're wrong! Crimson was my friend and I will avenge his death!" She spat at him. Crimson smiled underneath his mask. Now was the time.
"You know Yang, you're not going to stop this train. None of you are," He noticed that Weiss and Blake were getting up. "Though this whole thing is a waste of my time." He removed the mask to reveal his face.
Yang started to form tears in her eyes staring into the old blood red eyes. Weiss and Blake stopped noticing who it was.
"Good bye Yang." Crimson brought mejeærsker to his side. Activating the wind dust he thrusted the blade into Yang's abdomen. Red blood began to trickle out of the wound down the sword. Weiss and Blake went to go help Yang but were sent back by a gravity glyph.
When they looked up Crimson was gone and Yang was bleeding profusely from her stomach.

Crimson walked to the front of the train putting his mask back on before entering the engine.
"The huntresses have been taken care of Roman." The orange haired criminal turned around to look at the boy.
"Thank you Crimson. At least you get actual work done unlike those other two hooligans that Cinder has." Crimson bowed. He looked to the front of the train to see the door of the tunnel closing fast.
"Let the fun begin." He smiled under his mask ready for what would happen next.
