" Well how did it go ? "

" We've managed to counter-act the black flames but the primary effects, the intensive burns are still present but with their auras replenishing, they should be fine."

Sun and Jaune breathed a sigh of relief at the news. " How is Pyrrha doing ? "

The doctor looked at his clip-board and back to Jaune.

" As you know, the bullet narrowly missed her heart. She's alive but in critical condition and currently in unconscious but alive."

Jaune took some comfort in knowing she was alive, even as Sun put a brotherly hand on his shoulder, it still hide the fact that he thought he let his team down.

" They're alive at least. We can be grateful for that, and that Orion is being transferred to Atlas. He can be their problem now."

I had been beaten, humiliated and played, needless to say, I was feeling worse than words could describe. Having Ozpin sit across from me with two cups of coffee on the table was adding insult to my already wounded pride.

" What do you want ? I admit, I've been beaten but that doesn't mean you've won."

" Won what exactly ? Tell me, what is your driving force, what makes you want to do the things you do ? "

" Not this shit again."

Ozpin merely looked at me, as if awaiting my response. " Ok fine, I fight because I enjoy. because I enjoy crushing helpless little fools like your students."

" Really ? I see someone who has cast their lot with a force bent on the destruction of others, tell me what do you hope to accomplish. What are you running from ? "

" You know both you and the general are starting to piss me off even more."

" Well then, I can't say it's been a pleasure."

" Likewise."

The day was here, I was to be shipped off to Atlas and they wasted no risk this time. I was cuffed, and guarded heavily, not only by Atleasian guards, but also hunters from Atlas as well.

Before we boarded the airship, Ironwood, Goodwitch and Ozpin talking amongst themselves as Team RWBY, despite being in medical clothing, mainly Weiss and Blake, along with Team JNPR, minus Pyrrha, stopped in front of me.

" Come to say your goodbyes ? "

" Children, why are you here ? " Ironwood asked as both teams as he and the others two teachers arrived.

" Too see a nightmare end." Sun answered for everyone, and they all nodded in agreement.

" Sun, you of all people should realize, this isn't going to last. Whether you like to believe it or not."

With that two of my guards shoved me towards the waiting airship, " You've said enough."

I looked at the two teams and gave a sarcastic wave before the bay doors closed and that was the end of that.

" Well it seems that Orion is getting sent to Atlas." Mercury said with a hint of victory as Emerald handed over his earnings from their bet.

" God dammit Orion, when I actually need you to go berserk."

It felt like an hour but we were still within our way to Atlas. The huntsman and guards had taken to make sure I was secure but it didn't matter because they didn't know what I had up my sleeves literally.

Suddenly, we came to a stop and the bay doors opened as the guards left me in my cell.

" We're still in Vale's territory, we're just making a pit-stop, sit tight." A guard said before he disembarked and left me alone.

Oh this is too easy.

I reached into my sleeve and pulled a bobby pin, from inside my sleeve. I had taken a hint from Emerald and kept some just in case of something like this. I made sure I was alone before picking the lock to my cuffs.

When they were off, I felt my aura return in full and made sure my flames were ready. I incinerated the lock to my cell and kicked it open.

One of the huntsman wanted to take my weapons as a prize, like an asshole. I knew where he stored them on the ship and I didn't waste time re-equipping them, feeling more complete with them back.

I slowly unsheathed Muramasa, relieved that it was still like I had left it.

" Time to have some fun."

I didn't have to waste time as the pilot, raven haired female exited the cock-pit and stopped as she saw me.

This day just keeps getting better.

The guards of Atlas came back as they heard the scream of their pilot and they stopped at what they saw.

She bound by the wrist, gagged and was restrained by Orion's old handcuffs. The guards, 4 in total, spaced out, rifles drawn and looked around the airship.'

One moved to the pilot and cut her down, ungagged her and removed the handcuffs Orion, currently somewhere had escaped to.

" HE'S STILL HERE ! "

" Where ? "

Above, them Orion drew Muramasa slowly before striking. " Surprise Motherfucker ! "

Orion dropped down and quickly severed the first guards upper half to his lower half.

The others took notice and aimed their rifles at Orion who already on the move. He rolled out the way, skillfully avoiding gun fire as Muramasa broke into it's chain form and quickly used it to sever the second guard's head from his body and he quickly let Muramasa go as he continued to avoid gun fire.

The third guard took a step forward but was quickly frozen, having triggered a trap that Orion had set earlier. The last guard was skewered through the opening of his helmet by Orion's knife.

The pilot had ducked away to a corner of the airship and cowered in fear as Orion approached her, Muramasa freshly drenched in blood. He grabbed her by her collar before throwing her to the center of the airship and cuffed her again.

" Lucky for you, I don't know how to fly an airship but you do, so you can stay. I need to go have a word with a few over confident huntsman."

I drove Muramasa threw the first guards throat, silencing him. I opened the door to the supply depot and suddenly, four pairs of eyes.

I threw my knife, which planted firmly in the between the eyes of one. By the time the last three realized what was happening I was already on the move.

I closed the distance between us as I slid across a table, gripping two huntsman, freezing one and incinerating one respectively. The last one, the one that had personally taken my weapons, used my momentum and punched me in the chest with a weapon attached to his wrist.

I crashed into a few crates and got up as he his buckler changed into a wrist mounted-rail gun and took aim.

I rolled out the way at the last second as a laser like energy beam pierced the wall where I was located.

I charged at him again, this time using Heaven and Earth to deflect the laser, turns out it wasn't that powerful to get through certain metals in my weapon.

I closed the distance between us and twirled through the air, using Heaven and Earth combined to attack. The huntsman blocked the stabbing blow with his weapon and I had him where I wanted.

I pulled the trigger, Earth piercing through his defense and exiting his shoulder. He staggered back as his buckler changed into a gauntlet and he threw a weak punch at me, Earth doing more damage than I thought.

I casually caught his fist, and used my black flames to ignite it, causing metal to burn into his skin as the flames consumed his entire arm, his pained scream bringing back good memories to me.

He fell to the ground in pain and took the chance to drive Heaven through his throat and twisted the blade.

" Never touch my weapons."

I yanked them free as I broke Heaven and Earth back into their standard form and sheathed them. I found the one who I killed with my knife and I yanked it free from his skull before wiping the blood on his coat.

I looked around and saw a door which peeked my interest. I walked over to it and entered what appeared to be a laboratory of sorts. It had everything that a lab would have, examing table, test-tubes, and machines that I had no idea did what.

I listened intently as I heard the sounds of faint whimpering, and panicked breathing.

I followed the sounds and found a brown haired scientist, surprisingly she looked around age. She met my eyes and cowered back in fear as I crouched down next to her.

" Please ! Please ! Don-"

" Shut up. Why and what are you doing here ? "

She began taking slower breathes as she got up and motioned around her lab.

" I-I was doing research on some things. Some just normal studying of the plants and Grimm around here and..."

Her abrupt stop was all too suspicious. " And what ? "

" I-It's confidential-"

I stabbed Muramasa into the wall next to her, scaring her to hell as she caught her breath and sunk to the ground.

" If you want to live, you'll answer my question."

" I was doing research about semblances and finding a way to improve them ! " She quickly said, gripping her sides as she pleaded for her life again.

" I won't kill you, if you do what I say. Now, I could care less but if it's possible to actually enhance a semblance, I want to know."

" I-I published a paper about it when I was in college, I believe it's possible to enhance a semblance to higher means or even gain another semblance."

That was all I needed to here. I gripped her by the back of her neck and forced her to her feet so that we were near eye level, she was a slight bit shorter.

" You're coming with me. Get whatever is important to this whole project or whatever and be warned, I'm watching you."

She did as I instructed and plugged her scroll into a massive series of computers and I watched as files were downloaded onto her scroll. While that was happening she began muttering to herself as she looked through several tables of notes.

" Dear god, how long does this take ! "

" You can't rush science.." She said, obviously scared to even respond. She opened some weird machine that held several vials, each containing something that I didn't know and would never understand. She picked several up before setting them down in their respective places.

She opened several drawers and took several books from each, some having strange sigils and marks on their covers. She stuffed the books away in a bag and grabbed her scroll, and I took that as she was done.

I escorted her out the lab and she stopped in her tracks and gripped her stomach as she spied the bodies of the dead huntsman.

" Stay right here." I ordered her. I found the body of the huntsman from before and crouched down next to his body before taking the buckler-railgun from him. It was beaten up but it still worked none the less, and I could fix any damage that I had caused so it was no big deal.

" What's your name ? "

" I'm Veronica.." She said nervously. I pointed at the door and she took the hint to exit the building.

We made our way to the airship where I had also tied up the pilot again who saw me and Veronica. Veronica wasted no time dropping her bag and going to untie the pilot and un-gagging her.

I shook my head and grabbed Veronica as I placed her in my old cell.

" This is undignified ! "

" Would death be a better alternative ? "

That shut her up quickly as I cut the restraints from the pilot who quickly backed away from me.

" I said you would live if you get us back to Vale. I'm keeping my word until then, you do exactly as I say."

She fearfully nodded as I shoved her into the cock-pit and she wasted no time getting the ship going but stopped suddenly before looking at me.

" We're low on fuel...We might not make it ALL the way to Vale."

" How far could we get ? "

" Maybe as far as the less secluded forest."

" That's more than needed."

She looked at me hesitantly but listened never the less as the airship took to the sky and during this I opened my re-acquired scroll before sending a quick message to Cinder.

During the flight, I went to check on Veronica who was struggling to balance herself on the airship in flight.

" Give me your scroll."

" What ? "

" I didn't stutter." I made my point clear enough as she handed me her scroll through her cells bars and I took time to read through her research notes.

Cinder closed her scroll and smirked as she looked at Mercury and Emerald who were standing before her.

" Well, looks like Orion is finally free. He said he'll be here as soon as he can."

Mercury and Emerald both smirked at the knowledge. Orion had taken long enough and had compromised their position at Beacon, which was a thorn in their sides but he made up for it several times over.

Mainly instilling fear into the heart of Vale, and the academies, both of Vale and Atlas.

It was only a matter of time til all the pieces fell into place.
