Pyrrha Nikos, the Invincible girl, not so unbeatable once you found out her weakness.

" Have fun." Cinder said to me as I climbed out the window of our dorm and trailed down the fire escape. Now, I was able to go all out, no restrictions, no holding back and even better, NO HAIR DYE.

My red hair and blood-red eyes were in their full glory and I could happily wear my old outfit, every black decal and red accent was back to normal. What was better, Muramasa was back where it belonged, at my side as I got ready to slaughter my enemies.

Heaven and Earth, weren't horrible weapons so I opted to keep them on my back. As I hung from the fire escape I jumped two floors down onto another escape, once there I peered through the window, seeing a familiar blue-haired prick fixing his bow tie.

I shook my head before contemplating whether or not to kill him now. I decided against it and continued along my way, stealthily through Beacon until I came to where the dance was being held.

I cracked my knuckles and smiled evilly as I gripped Muramasa tightly poured my aura into it. This time, the red blade went up in black flames.


Yang, despite being injured still made a commitment to attend the dance she had helped organized so that's what she did.

She had healed up well enough and took solace in watching the smiles that came to everyone's face.

Everyone was paired up and slowly squaring away, dancing the night away with Ozpin watching his students enjoy each others company.

Yang still felt the dull burning sensation of the black flames but it was minor enough for her to push it into the pits of her mind.

" I'd say we've done a good job." Weiss said next to Yang who smiled at her.

" We just finished up what Team CFVY did."

Suddenly the doors of the ballroom exploded opening, sending some students to the ground and killing the music, black flames burning the wood to cinders.

Hellfire stepped through, holding his blade like a gladiator in triumph as he looked around and smirked.

" HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR THE NIGHT OF YOUR LIFES ! "


I looked around and smirked, until I saw the Headmaster step forward. My smirk faded but instead grew even wider, a fun fight was right in front of me.

" Oh fuck yes." I said as I drove my blade through the ground sending pillars of black flames through the ground and erupting around me and Ozpin, who looked at me in shock as he took off his glasses.

" I suppose you're the one attacked my students ? "

" Well I didn't kill them, so theirs that but yes. Wanna fight me."

I directed my flames at Ozpin, the pillars moving from the ground and they erupted at Ozpin who gripped his cane and spun it around, diverting the flames towards the roof, saving any students that would have been incinerated. They all quickly ran from the ballroom and exited, leaving me and Ozpin but I did not a familiar blonde hair.

" Attacking my students and interrupting their dance, this is an action I cannot allow." Ozpin said as he gripped his cane tightly, I could tell he was trying to keep his calm, something I was about to take away.

" Well too bad, cause you see I plan on burning this school to the ground but I got something important to do...SO SEE YA."

I drove Muramasa through the ground and set the entire room ablaze in black flame. My dark clothing provided me excellent camouflage to exit the room.


" He set the building on fire didn't he ? " Cinder asked Mercury and Emerald who both nodded slowly.

" And gave away his position ? " Cinder asked again, already knowing the answer because the smoke omitting from the ballroom buildings away.

Once again Emerald and Mercury nodded. Cinder sighed in annoyance at the answer.

" We're leaving, he'll deal with the rest."


Killing people was one thing and I was fine with it but killing people who could fight back was even better.

I peered over the roof, watching students equip their weapons as they scoured the grounds for me. I shook my head before I heard the door open behind me. I turned around quickly but I took one shot to the shoulder, knocking me over the edge of the building.

I looked around and adjusted myself and used Muramasa in its chain form to grip the fire escape and slowly descend to the ground before switching my weapon back to its sword form.

It took me only a second to realize that Pyrrha was the one who had shot me as she descended to the ground via the fire escape. I flexed my shoulder and was pleased to know that my aura had stopped the blow enough.

" Well saves me the trouble of trying to find you." I said to Pyrrha who raised her shield and weapon. Unlike her, I knew my opponents moves and that gave me a better advantage then she did.

" What are you doing here ? " Pyrrha questioned me as we circled each other though she was taking this fight more serious than me.

" Oh just stopping by, killing off a few students, maybe burn Beacon down, whatever comes first."

" ICE FLOWER ! "

Son of a WHORE!

I recognized that annoying voice and this time, Muramasa ignited in a black blaze as I incinerated the projectiles before they made contact.

Ruby, Weiss and Blake arrived behind Pyrrha along with Jaune and two students I didn't know. Instead of one of them attacking me, a kid with a mace leaped from over them and slammed down at me.

It was the most pathetic attempt of an attack I'd ever seen and I was offended that it was directed at me. The person who leaped at me was Cardin Winchester, school bully and now my most recent addition to the blood Muramasa had tasted.

I side-stepped his attack and easily stabbed him through the side, a massive gape in his armor allowed me to bring him down in one strike as he fell to his knees, clutching his wound. I raised Muramasa but-

" LADYBUG ! "

BITCH !

I turned quickly and delivered an elbow into Blake's stomach before taking her and swinging her into Ruby, sending them barreling into Jaune.

Pyrrha and some kid in a green outfit charged at me along with a girl with... A FREAKING SLEDGEHAMMER ?!

I rolled out the way but was batted sideways by the sledgehammer girl, who I remember was named Nora something. I recovered and was able to avoid a side swipe from Pyrrha's blade. I took step back only to feel ice blocking my path.

Bitch !

I ducked, avoiding Pyrrha taking my head as I tossed Muramasa into the air, Pyrrha followed it for a spilt second but it was enough for me to grab Heaven and quickly pull the trigger, sending me through the ice wall and Pyrrha into Jaune who had gotten up again.

I looked around and saw Muramasa, planted behind Pyrrha. Weiss sailed across the floor and pierced my shoulder. I grabbed her rapier and used my semblance to heat it to the point where she let go of it and I used that chance to impale her with Earth.

" WEISS ! "

I smirked happily as I pulled the trigger, sending her off the blade and onto the ground, a gaping gun-shot and blade wound bleeding heavily.

" One down, more trash-"

I stopped as Pyrrha's shield struck my mask, shattering it and bouncing back to her. I opened my eyes slowly and glared down the remained the students.

Ruby, Blake, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and the one in the green against just me. Six against 1, poor odds for them.

I heard a high-pitched whistling sound which was attributed with dust. I realized it only too late as I felt an explosion on my back, forcing me to my knees. The boy in the green was already across the ground and kicked me into the air, his aura sending me higher.

I saw Nora above me, her hammer swinging down ready to crush me.

Aw Damn

I fired Heaven at her, knocking her away from me but I was still in the air and the ground was closing fast. I braced myself as I crashed, HARD into the ground. I coughed up slight blood at the feeling.

I wearily forced myself up and was fired upon by the boy in green and Pyrrha. I remembered his name, Ren, as his bullets were blocked by my aura but Pyrrha's did some damage.

I fired Heaven at them, causing all of them to disperse and Muramasa to be shot into the air. I charged at them kicked off Pyrrha's shield, catching Muramasa as I touched back onto the ground. I sheathed Heaven back along with Earth and readied myself quickly.

Blake threw her weapon at me but I moved slightly and grabbed the ribbon, using my strength I swung her around completely, smacking her against Jaune and crashing them both into the statue nearby. I pulled again and Blake came sailing towards me, this time she was impaled through the stomach on Muramasa.

I looked at Ruby, who was shaking slightly at the knees at this action. To make my point, I ignited Muramasa, still impaled through Blake's stomach, earning a pained scream from her before I threw her to the side.

Ruby switched out the magazine of her weapon and crouched low to the ground. I tilted my head in curiosity before, she vanished in a red blur, a slash mark appearing at my waist. Another across my back.

She was easily faster than me, it wasn't rocket science. She could be stopped because she followed a pattern.

Tease it...There !

I left my back open as I closed my eyes and listened.

I flipped Muramasa around and slammed my hand into the ground, creating a floor of ice. Pyrrha, Ren and the now recovered Nora retreated away from the ice, but Ruby who was moving to fast too stop, slide across the ice and her face connected with my fist, the momentum sending her flipping through the air and crashing hard into the ground.

I panted heavily before taking a green dust crystal from my coat pocket and drained it, feeling my wounds close and some aura return to me until the crystal was empty. When it was, I threw it aside and focused and Pyrrha and the others.

" What are you ? " Pyrrha questioned me, her team all circling me.

" Oh just a person who wants to see you all dead, mainly you Nikos, you're a threat that can't be allowed to live. At least come die like a warrior, on feet...Or on your knees, as long as your dead I don't-"

Nora's grenade launcher hit me point blank in the chest, crashing me into the dorm buildings wall.

" Not...this shit again." I said as I pried myself from the wall and cracked my neck, getting knocked into the wall makes you stiff after a while.

" How did you use ice but also fire ? "

I smirked at Jaune while shaking my head at him. I charged at the four of them, rolling to avoid one of Nora's grenade rounds. I parried a slash from Ren as we crossed blades.

Behind me Jaune charged, his shield at the ready. I kicked off his shield, turned in mid-air and stabbed at Ren in one fluid motion. Ren barely avoided the strike as he locked Masamune between his gun's blades and flung it through the air.

He struck with his palms, enhanced with an aura shockwave, sending me sprawling back into Jaune, who turned me around bashed me with his shield.

I looked up and saw Nora lunging at me with her sledgehammer. I rolled my eyes and gathered black flames in my fist as I struck out with it, sending a wave of fire at Nora, who screamed in agony as she hit the ground behind me.

" NORA ! " Jaune and Ren yelled in unison as they both charged at me. I aimed my palms at both of them and sent out a wave of fire, not my black hellfire but regular fire that did enough damage, mainly to Ren who was sent flying back. I had intended to use black flames, meaning that I was reaching my limit, despite using my emergency healing dust crystal.

Jaune raised his shield and stopped the flames, he should have dropped it from the heat but instead he made it to me and bashed me with his shield again before stabbing at me. I caught his blade with my hands, I sent a wave of ice through the blade, freezing it completely including Jaune's sword hand. I ignited my fist and punched him to the ground, feeling fatigue begin to set in faster but I pushed on.

I heard the sound of Pyrrha throw her shield so I was prepared and grabbed Jaune to use him as a human shield to take the blow to the forehead for me.

" Spinny...disk..." Jaune said before I threw him to the ground.

" Thanks meat-shield." I said sarcastically to Jaune, whose hand was still frozen to his blade.

It was just my and Pyrrha finally. I slowly walked to Muramasa, Pyrrha aiming her now rifle at me. I retrieved my blade and flurried it thankfully, welcoming it back to its master. I swung it once, sending the blood of the others onto the pavement.

I stared down Pyrrha until I felt a sharp pain across my cheek and I saw a familiar knife land in front of me.

A familiar red bladed knife and the only person who could have had a knife like that landed next to Pyrrha.

" Well hello Sun." I said sarcastically as he brandished his staff at me.

" You..."

" Yes me. Well it's funny really I was just done talking to Blake. She's over..."

I stopped as I looked around, only seeing the blood stains they used to be at. All of them had simply vanished and I didn't even notice it. I looked at Sun and Pyrrha who smirked at me.

" Ok I'll bite, where the fuck did the bodies go ?


Ozpin dusted off his vest he looked at his students, each one wounded and waiting on death's door step. Luckily he had dealt with the black flames while Oobleck had retrieved the students without the enemy realizing it.

" Ozpin, shall I deal with this...monstrosity ? " Oobleck asked, taking a final sip of coffee.

Ozpin and Oobleck looked at each, old friends who had seen the worst together and still continued to do so.

" We'll deal with this monstrosity old friend." Ozpin said, already moving towards the door with Oobleck, leaving the nurses to attend to the wounded.


Sun and I traded knife blows, while I fended off him and Pyrrha at once.

Sun must have had a sense of honor, being willing to battle with only our knives like he had agreed when I first challenged him.

I spun knife and stabbed at Sun's abdomen. He was agile enough to jump onto my arm and back flip off it, kicking me in the chin in the same motion.

I staggered back and spat blood onto the ground before spinning around and kicking Pyrrha across the face. Luckily she was poised to strike so that gave me my much needed opening.

I parried an overhand slash from Pyrrha and quickly slashed her across her stomach, heating my blade to pass through her armor. I followed up and brought the blade down to her shoulder.

Sun drop kicked my exposed side, making me lose grip of my knife and leaving it planted in Pyrrha's shoulder as I staggered back.

Sun pulled the knife free and they aimed their weapons at me before I heard footsteps behind me.

I sighed in annoyance as I turned to see Ozpin and some teacher with green hair an comically large spectacles. I grabbed Heaven and Earth and attached them together, forming it's double-bladed gun-staff.

" Welcome back Ozzy, you wanna join the fun."

Ozpin looked at me with a deep frown as he aimed his cane, which doubled as a weapon, at me. The teacher with the green hair stepped forward as well, hands behind his back.

" You've done enough damage."

I smirked at them as I charged them, my blade connected with Ozpin's staff before I slashed at his waist, putting distance between us.

" I can't believe I get too-"

I felt a slash wound, deep but precise extend from my left hip to my right shoulder. I dropped my frown as I dropped to my knees. I coughed up more blood than I should have.

The teacher with the green hair stood behind me, Jaune's sword in his hand, drenched in blood...my blood. I didn't even see him...

I finally realized how the others disappeared, because this guy did it when I wasn't paying attention. I weakly placed my hand on my gash wound, the blood was there but I didn't know what to expect.

I was losing consciousness but not before I did what I was assigned to do.

I aimed my gun-staff weakly at Ozpin, before flipping it around. I pulled the trigger and I heard the sound off a person lose air at once.

" Pyrrha ! "

I smirked at the name being called in fear and distress. I was assigned to deal with her firsthand and I did that to the end.

Checkmate...bitch.

With that I felt my body grow weak and me lose consciousness completely.


Sun placed Pyrrha's head gently on his lap as he put pressure on the bullet wound through her chest. While he did that, Oobleck used a syringe on her, slowing her heart-rate, in trying to keep her alive.

Sun looked down at Orion, who was lying face first with his smug look on his face, despite being in a pool of his own blood.

Why
