After about a week, I was back to normal and even better than before, feeling stronger than before and because of that, I felt more than capable of dealing with anything.
I could have walked into Beacon and have been done with everything, but I wanted to test myself first and to do that, I needed to get the attention of Beacon.
Luckily, Cinder had learned that students from Beacon were away on missions at the moment so I could take a whole team down and leave a nice thank you notice.
Which led to me camping above Team CRDL.
It's good to be back.
I dusted my hands off and whistled at my work. All that was left was to finish up my little project.
I took Cardin's scroll and set out a distress signal before tossing it aside near Sky's body.
I looked and saw Cardin was still twitching slightly, so I wasted no time putting my foot on his throat before I heard a satisfying crack.
" Man, you were always a complete tool, who let you become a huntsman anyway."
" Team CRDL sent out a distress signal ? " Blake asked as she and her team moved through the rugged landscape of the Emerald Forest.
" Looks like the bully needs rescuing-" Yang stopped herself mid-sentence, as they came across Team CRDL or what they were now.
Their bodies were scattered, and there was blood everywhere. Dove was slumped against a tree, his sword directly piercing where his heart should be. The blood was still dripping.
Russell was frozen to the branches of another tree by his arms, blood dripping from his arms and everywhere else. Ice shards were piercing through his arms and one was cleanly passing through his chest.
Sky was run through with is halberd, broken in two and both pinning him to another tree. The front end was cleaving through his neck while the back end was piercing his torso.
Cardin was laying face first in blood, and it didn't take a genius to figure out who's blood it was.
Yang brought Ruby close to hide her from the sight. Weiss gagged slightly, and even Blake, who was used to seeing death, was disturbed at the sight.
Blake cautiously moved forward, trying her best to avoid the bloodied area all together.
" Blake..."
Blake ignored Weiss' call as she approached Cardin's body.
Maybe, just maybe...
Blake crouched down next to him and placed to her fingers on his neck, but lurched backwards quickly.
Cold, he was cold, lifeless, Dead.
" No one, not even Cardin deserved this..."
Blake searched turned Cardin over and gasped in shock as she scuttled away, fear gripping her.
" That symbol..."
The other slowly approached, seeing two burning longswords, that symbol burned into Cardin's chest. All of them new who that belonged to.
" No..no way..."
Ozpin was with Glynda, and Ironwood as they received a message from an unknown signal.
As the video began to play, it was that of a familiar face.
" What's up assholes ! "
Orion, having pre-recorded a message, was standing in the middle of the tortured Team CRDL.
" In case you all were wondering, I'm back in Vale, or rather I never actually left. And to show my...' appreciation. I got a team to help me out."
As he said that, he turned the camera to show Team CRDL and Ozpin and Glynda were horrified at the sight.
Orion did a double take and even went as far as to do a double take on their bodies before turning the camera back to him.
" Man, I don't know what's worse, the fact that they were trying to become Huntsman or the fact that you let them in your academy, Ozpin."
Ozpin tightened the grip on his cane as his aura began to flare slightly.
" Oh and Miss Goodwitch, how can I forget about what you did," Orion lifted his shirt to reveal a deep scar on his chest, Glynda remembering that she was the one who caused it, " I made sure at least one of them knew how that felt."
Orion turned the camera back to reveal Russell, hanging and impaled.
" Good times. Oh and General, dear dear Ironwood, I haven't forgotten the whole shipping me to Atlas thing. Don't worry, you're next. Oh and bye the time you all get this, someone is going to come barging into your office about say something about the Team right about now. "
As the video ended, Team RWBY barged in as Orion had predicted, looking horrified and disgusted.
" Professor Ozpin ! Team CRDL we-"
" We know...We know, Ms, Rose."
" Man that wasn't even fun, but at least I got a chance to test this thing out."
The blade on my bracer retracted quickly as the bracer changed into it's bracelet form. I kicked my feet up and decided to doze off.
My nap didn't last long as I heard a knock at my door.
I reluctantly got up and answered it, too see Veronica standing in front of me.
" I-I was told to give a check after your-"
" Just make it quick..."
" I..Just...Cardin.."
Jaune couldn't even form the words as the airship landed and medics came off, carrying the bodies of Team CRDL.
Sun, next to Jaune, clenched his fist in anger a golden aura violently wisped around his fist.
" I...We got rid of him...How ? "
Neptune put a hand on Sun's shoulder before starting, " I don't know man, I just don't know."
" Why..."
" He's...he's just a monster, and this proves it.." Yang added, trying to tear away from the medics taking Team CRDL away.
Jaune and Sun were the first ones to break away from the group in horror, disgust and fear, anger being the primary factor.
" We can't let him get away with this..." Jaune said to Sun, who nodded slowly.
" We're ending this."
I casually sent aura through Muramasa and watched as it ignited in a mixture of blue and black flames.
Cinder gave me orders to not do anything else, orders that were killing me inside but I followed them regardless. I owed Cinder my life so this meant nothing.
As I waited, I devised new ways to use my Novafire, and several ideas came to mind, and all them I wanted to try but not yet.
If I knew my enemies well enough, especially Sun, it was that they couldn't stand by when things like this were happening, including someone they hate dying. That was their weakness, they lacked resolve to kill.
They could hate me with everything they had, but they couldn't or wouldn't actually kill me, but maybe this little event would give them the push they need, then we'd see who lacked what.
The flames on Muramasa ceased as I reeled back my aura before sitting in the middle of my room.
" I hate waiting."
