Question...
Should I open a Pat/reon?...
I mean I already have one... Still trying to figure out how to handle it...
The reason for that is due to writing is heavy lifting... And I need to support myself while doing this as a hobby (along I am doing animation within other software's like SFM/GMOD/Blender).
Heck, have my YouTube Channel starting some small short animations and funny TF2 Dubs!
But enough about that, more details will be talked at the bottom.
So enjoy this chapter!
Night luminates at the vast city from a distance, a city large enough to be shown like hills. There is a large body of water, separating the city and yet another land, a shipyard, quiet and desolated.
Then a black car comes in slow, yet hits onto the side of the ramp that is near the building. The radio plays out, a male voice speaks out. "It looks like the storm has passed, people of Vale. A season-high seven inches of rain last night. High winds and flooding in some areas, even left others stranded. City crews are still working this morning. They're trying to restore power to several areas in the boroughs. Good news is, today should be sunny with highs in the low 60s..."
During that, a car door opens with a creak sound, as a man with familiar dark hair, beard and his red eyes which are dull gets out with staggering motion. He immediately fell down and on all fours. His face is wounded with some dried blood stained on his face as he slowly gets up, placing his hand on his gut which is seemingly bleeding.
"Uncle Qrow?!" Ruby and Yang exclaimed as they first see this first viewed universe.
"The Vale City..." Blake mentioned the vast city.
"It looks way bigger..." Velvet added.
"Let me guess." Qrow assumes while he is slightly surprised this universe shows him. "This one is without the Grimm."
"You guessed it!" Khaos gives him a thumbs up from the back.
"To see a world without Grimm..." Glynda said.
"This is something we would have in our dreams." Ozpin added, while Cinder stared at him.
"But... What happened to him?" Ruby worried.
"You shall see, this world may look peaceful. It's not what you seemed..." Mobius stated.
Crawling near the ramp, his left arm is placed on the ramp, showing his head covered in fresh blood. He soon sits down, grunting in pain, before he slowly reaches out his small device, it opens a screen like a digital scroll as he watches a video of a beach, where there is a woman standing on the sand watching the small waves.
He watches, letting out shaky breaths due to his wounds, however maintains a calm look as the one in the video turns as she smiles, "What are you doing, Qrow?" She giggled as a male laugh occurred later.
"Looking at you." He replied with a blunt yet happy tone.
"Aw, come here." She replied as the video shows her and the man himself gives a kiss.
He slowly lies down due to the injuries as the adrenaline is fading. "Are you still filming?" All he can hear is her voice and chuckles are his response from the scroll, when he slowly blink. Then blinks become closed, neck is loose, head is resting on the ground, fingers lose. He lies down, silent.
Qrow blinks in response, "I have a wife?" He raised his voice a little.
Ironwood is even surprised, "I'm surprised he even gets a wife." He muttered.
Qrow heard him as he fake laughs, "Ha ha." He deadpanned as he looked at his 'wife'. "...I don't recognize her."
"Ahem." Khaos calls out.
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Qrow replied. "You guys like to put me in the corner during my day off."
"I think it's nice..." Ruby commented her compliment, Qrow gestured a 'thank you' to her.
Few Days Ago... Alarm clock beeps, 6:00 am, Qrow wakes up from bed, looking alright given this is the past as he turns off his clock. He turned and lay on the bed and sighed, before getting out.
Throughout the slightly good-looking house, he walks to the kitchen, not before glancing at photos of him and the woman either together or separate, looking so happy in contrast to his dull expression.
At the kitchen, reaches for a beer bottle but is subverted when he means to grab the coffee pot filled with coffee. Those drinking days are over, plus it is empty to begin with. He takes out a mug and pours it down, before taking a huge sip.
At the bathroom, Qrow can look at the memory, how his face looks completely drained off, he started to remember back to the old days. Him and the woman he loves. From having a dinner restaurant, to a kiss at the park, but that park was the night she suddenly collapsed. Then flashes constantly go on, the hospital walk, and watching her in bed, and the medical scans show... No life.
Next moment he is dressed up in his black suit, holding a jewelery bracelet, more memories brought up. He gave her during... "What's this?" Her voice echoes as a flash shown at the dinner night as Qrow gave her the bracelet.
"Just a simple anniversary gift." Qrow's voice echoes. Then, back to reality, he places it on the shelf next to the alarm clock now showing 8:00 am. Later, he's in his car, he turns to see the garage door open up, before driving off into the outside rain.
"...Did she?..." Ruby saw what happened.
"She didn't make it..." Yang replied.
"They seemed to be happy, what happened?" Velvet asked. "Did she catch a sickness?" No response.
Coco spoke up, "Hey, you are an all knowing guy, can't you at least explain this?" She asked.
Khaos intervenes. "On my wiki, it said she passed away from terminal illness. So good guess bunny girl!" He was happy.
"Way to make fun on this topic." Coco glares as Velvet looks off put by Khaos' happy tone.
"Sorry, I'm just like that." Khaos replied.
"You're being sarcastic." Fox added.
"Am I?..." Khaos asked.
"We get it." Winter responded, "You're inconsistent. You're making this guy the least annoying person I've seen." She glanced at Qrow.
"Mr. Branwen I am sorry for this event you see for yourself being in this situation." Penny affirms.
"Don't be... That's just technically another me." Qrow responded.
"But this must be part of your tragedy, to lose someone close." Penny explained. "What Mobius has said about the Multiverse..."
"Alright. No need to get talky all the time." Qrow interrupted, that Penny girl was already being sensitive to him, something he doesn't need. Ozpin, Ruby, Yang, Glynda, and James noticed he's being defensive, as if he doesn't want to open up much.
But Ozpin knows his semblance, misfortune... How much he regrets himself to the point negative emotions can occur, hence why he always does solo missions. Perhaps if this is his fate in other worlds, he could imagine what would happen if he saw himself, and what if they knew the truth?
Right Ozpin shook his mind, as Ruby spoke, "Uncle Qrow you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine, kiddo." Qrow replied. "Hey." He calls out to Mobius. "I may need a drink." Mobius accepted the request as the flask appeared for him in his hand. "Thanks." As he drinks it.
At a cemetery, a funeral is being hosted as the rain continues, everyone out there is holding and protected by black umbrellas. Qrow being the front watches the coffin descend while everyone around begins to leave with him staying behind as last. Then he leaves, as a certain someone watches from a small distance.
That someone reveals to be a man with green eyes and brown hair soon walks to where Qrow is going, and at the road, they meet. "Hey, Qrow." He gives a warm smile.
James and Winter recognized him, Clover Ebi, the leader of the Ace Ops, an associate in the Atlas Military. Much to their surprise he is in this universe. What is he doing here with Qrow?
"...Clover." Qrow replied. "It's been a while."
"My condolences." Clover nodded. "...How are you holding up?"
"...My luck has gone deep." Qrow stated. "...Why her?..."
"...There's no rhyme or reason to this life." Clover explained. "It's days like today scattered among the rest."
"Yeah..." Qrow muttered.
"But don't blame yourself." Clover advised. "It's not your luck, that'd be the reason."
"...What are you really doing here?" Qrow questioned.
"Just checking up on an old friend." Clover assured with a small smile, then it fades as he gives out his hand. "Goodbye Qrow." As Qrow in response, shakes hands and he goes off while Qrow himself remains standing, he turns to look at the cemetery.
"Me and this guy? Friends?" Qrow wondered aloud.
James thinks of this, Clover sure is friendly to anyone but is loyal. That has to do with his semblance, Fortune...
He looks at Qrow, as a close friend to Ozpin, he knows a thing about him, notably his semblance. If Clover and Qrow where to meet... He shook his head, as if that's gonna happen, Qrow would never attempt to socialize even given a chance.
Ruby smiles at Clover, "He's such a nice guy." She said to her uncle.
Inside his house at night, Qrow is staring at the window while other people are here. Time passes, everyone is gone while he picks up the last remaining glass cups. A doorbell rings, gaining his attention.
Door is opened and he sees a delivery person with an animal cage, and a truck that said: Kelvin Delivery Service. "Qrow Wick?"
"Yes." Qrow confirmed.
She hands him the notepad and pen, "Sign here, please." He takes the pen and signs off the paper, just as he is finished. "And the pen." He realized he took the pen.
"Sorry..." Qrow hands her back the pen.
She nodded, "Good night." She replied.
"Thanks." He said, as she walked off and drove off leaving the package.
Inside, he placed the animal cage, then went in front of it, and saw a wrapped up letter on top. He takes an unwarps it, open the envelope and begin reading, recognizing the words:
Her voice spoke through these words as he read, "Hi, Qrow, I'm sorry I can't be there for you. But you still need something, someone to love. So start with this. Because the car doesn't count. I love you, Qrow. This illness has loomed over us for a long time... And now that I have found my peace, find yours. Until that day, your best friend, Helen." That's the end.
Qrow lets a stutter breath, and covers his face with hand, gripping upon the letter. He tries to not burst out his emotions but he has to let out a slight grieve. It took a moment to even let out small tears and cover his eyes. After that, he takes a look inside, a Corgi with black-headed tricolor fur and grey eyes.
Slowly he opens the cage, letting the dog out, the dog lets out a happy bark. He picks up the corgi and checks his nametag... Zwei. "Zwei... Of course..." He muttered, he slowly smiled at the dog.
In the bedroom, Zwei is lying on the bed on his belly, Qrow in his small shirt and pants returns holding spare blankets and placing them on the floor. "Come on." He gestured to Zwei to be on the makeshift bed, but the dog simply lay there, staring at him. "...Alright."
Qrow picks Zwei up and places him on the makeshift bed, he goes in and looks at the dog who instantly accepts the bed. Then he turns off the lamp, the room is dark.
Everyone listens to the letter, it is a bittersweet for the majority except a few. (Hey it's me Khaos let's chant for #NoOneLikeCinder!) Now they figure out the name for this wife of the alternative Qrow, Helen...
"Uncle Qrow, I never seen you like this." Yang replied. "Feels odd..."
"You guys don't see him like this?" Pyrrha asked.
"Well, we don't see him much, outside of training..." Ruby nodded, but she noticed the dog reveal. "Wait... It's Zwei!" She exclaimed, Blake shifted back a bit from her seat seeing the dog again. "Wait, how come Helen has him?"
"Mulitverse." Weiss instantly said it, just so Khoas won't have to remind them again.
"You guys are getting to suspend your disbelief!" Khaos cheered.
"Yeah, but it's hard to think of this as a movie when this is literally real life." Sun mentioned.
"...But you aren't from real life." Khaos replied.
"Say what?" Neptune asked.
"...Nothing." Khaos whistled as Mobius stared at him.
It is morning, Qrow is sleeping until licking on his face stir him up seeing Zwei is the one responsible. "Okay, okay, I'm up..." He grunted as he turned and set off his alarm clock showing the same 6:00am.
He goes to the front door and opens as Zwei runs outside, ignoring the newspaper mail. "Hey..." Qrow calls out to see what he is doing, "Oh, right..." He takes the newspaper as Zwei returns inside leaving out something foreign on the grass yard.
"Ew." Nora remarked.
"Eh, that's just Zwei." Ruby replied, as she hopes that Qrow and Zwei are living a happy life.
"Hey, uncle?" Yang asked Qrow. "Thinking you can handle Zwei?"
"Pass." Qrow replied.
"But he and Oobleck did an amazing job at the breach!" Ruby mentioned the attack. Cinder, Mercury and Emerald glanced, thinking a dog from the screen managed to assist them on early stopping the attack?
"Saw that, kinda reckless what you did." Qrow remarked, he pointed his thumb at Glynda, recalling the repairing she had to do. Glynda silently nodded at this, at least he understands.
"Eh..." Ruby nervously chuckled. "I mean, not all are from us..."
"Shut it." Coco calls out, guessing Ruby to yelp and suddenly hides in her chair.
In the living room, Qrow puts his newspaper on the kitchen bench and gets another cup of coffee. He hears a whimper and turns to see Zwei sitting, tilting his head. Qrow then opens his shelf and takes out a cereal box. Now with two bowls, he pours the milk he placed on for Zwei who happily eats it, "We'll grab you some kibble, okay?" He said as he gave a pat on the dog as he then ate his own cereal.
Dressed with his outdoor clothes and grabbing his leather jacket and keys, Zwei follows him as he goes to his car. Zwei is at the front seat while Qrow checks on him before driving off.
At the dust station, Qrow is refueling his car with his arms crossed, waiting to be done, while Zwei is in the car standing on his hind legs watching through the window.
Then another car blasting music aloud arrives in the station, Qrow glances at them as they stopped and a bunch of men exit out of their vehicle. One is in formal wear while others in casual clothes, they are speaking and chuckling amongst each other, not much care for Qrow's care to listen to them fully as he checks up on his fuel.
"That is a nice ride." Yang commented when she saw the car driving off.
Qrow sees the other car and the men, "Something tells me, something bad is gonna happen." He mutttered.
The formal one enters the shop, while the one wearing his hooded jacket is taking a cigarette and begins smoking, until he looks up and gazes at Qrow's car.
He took off his cigarette before giving his compliment. "Nice ride." Qrow remained silent as he finished fueling his car. "Mustang. Boss 429." He said. "She's 70?"
"'69." Qrow answered.
"Ah. Beautiful car then." He smiled.
"Thanks..." Qrow replied as he was about to go in, the man placed his hands on the hood before asking...
"How much?" He spoke these words.
"What?" Qrow slightly perked up.
"How much for the car?" The man pointed the cig at his car.
"She's not for sale." Qrow responded as he got in the car.
Then the man walks in front of the open window and sees Zwei, "Oh, I love dogs, Corgi's are my type." He wooed Zwei. "You know..." He lets go of Zwei, "Everything's got a price, bitch." He mocked.
Qrow stares before giving his rebuttal, "Not this one, bitch." He replied.
The man raised his eyebrow, "Who the fuck you are-" But he is interrupted by the formal man who returned.
"What are you doing? Get back to the car." He demanded as the man walked away while glaring at Qrow. The formal man looks at him giving a small courtesy nod, "You have a good day sir." Then he leaves Qrow alone who then drives off while the two men stare at each other while the formal man leaves, the man remains staring at Qrow...
"Great, has that attitude." Emerald grunted, annoyed by this guy's mouth.
"I don't want him near..." Yang's eye twitched, not only at the man, but his uncanny approach especially to Zwei. Ruby nodded in agreement.
"Nice one." Coco meanwhile smirked as she complimented this alternative Qrow's response.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Yatsuhashi replied to Fox who nodded.
Near dusk, Qrow arrived at a wide field, the man at the gate saw him before letting the gates open, as he drives into the field revealing it to be an air hanger port.
At the hangers, the large doors open, tires screech, engine revs from the inside, as the car drives off with full speed.
Qrow on the wheel continues to drive and makes the car turn and stop. Not until he pressed the accelerator and makes a small left then hard right then manages to drift, avoiding these trucks. Then, he does it again, making a turn around on the right way. Lastly he drives straight at the trucks before he lets out a grunt and presses the brake stopping in front of the trunks barely touching it.
He sighs in frustration, as soon it's done.
Nothing is much to say, they soon see this is just a moment of venting his frustration. Yang does like how the car drives off, but she also understands.
Sun sets, Qrow is in bed, taking deep breaths as he looks at Zwei looking at him, not even laying on his bed. Knowing what this dog is thinking... "All right. Come on, then." Qrow assured him as the corgi went up on bed with him, soon the two lay down to sleep...
Later, Zwei barks as he gets out of bed, the lamp is still on as Qrow wakes up by the sudden barks. He gets up, thinking his dog needs to go outside as usual.
Walking downstairs the barking continues, he sees two hooded men standing there, before he can react... A bat swing smacked at the back of his head, knocking him down.
Ruby gasped by this. Pyrrha covers her mouth as the rest of them are witnessing this. Most of them are shocked and some have seen this coming. And those who do see it, and only most of them grimace.
Just his luck... Qrow stared at this, this is such a low blow.
On the ground, Qrow is then kicked down by the hooded man every kick puts him in pain. He walks back letting the other one holding the bat give a swing on the arm which Qrow yells in pain. The one tosses the bat at the other who gives a kick right at Qrow's face, as his nose and mouth is bleeding.
"Where are the car keys?!" The hooded man yells as others are breaking down cases and other glasses. Zwei is barking at these intruders. "And shut that fuckling dog up!" The man grew irritated by the dog's sounds, and chased him as Zwei tried to run away.
Qrow still hurts, his fuzzy view watches the man with the bat catch Zwei who is whimpering aloud, before he raises his bat... A loud metal smack. The sound is silenced, Zwei lies, not moving, not a single breath.
Then the one who killed the dog went back and pushed Qrow, now laying on the ground, then another thief arrived. "I found the keys."
Everyone else walks off, but not until one who killed Zwei unmasks himself in front of Qrow, revealing the same man from the dust station. "Sleep tight, bitch." He spat before delivering a punch knocking him out cold.
Time passes, Qrow regains consciousness, in front of his eyes, is Zwei's motionless body, blood trail is wet as he gets up. Now sitting, holding onto Zwei, he can only remain silent... His eyes are dull once more...
Outside, Qrow has finished a small grave as he placed his shovel, then placed his dog inside.
"NO!" Ruby yells as she sees the man who killed Zwei.
"That... BASTARD!" Yang's eyes change to red.
Velvet covered her face due to witnessing such beating, Coco tries to comfort, just like everyone, when he goes for the dog almost all are angry.
Even for things like Emerald and Mercury, that is a low blow for them. Cinder couldn't care much though. (#NoOneLikesCinder)
"They are inhumane..." Penny's happy tone disappeared.
"Sickos..." Sun is disgusted.
Qrow stares, even though he's getting angry, he manages to keep it to himself. He'll know a bunch of certain people in his team will be in rage seeing this.
"All because of the rejection..." Winter quietly scolded. Such a scumbag.
Alarm clock beeps showing 6:19, Qrow pressed the stop with the collar of his dog, and placed it next to where his wife's bracelet is.
Next thing, he is scrubbing the blood on the floor, every scrub, his past life, flashes...
His wife... His dog... By this man... He stopped, looking up with a cold stoned face, before deciding what he needed to do...
"Please, get them." Yang retained her red eyes as she spoke. Others nodded.
"Yeah, break their legs!" Nora yelled.
"For once, I agree!" Jaune added.
Qrow's car is driving radically, as it turns into the car workshop as hip hop music plays. At the camera feed, the man who stole the car waves at it, thus the gates opened.
The man wearing glasses and floppy ears is working on another car, turns to see the stolen car stopped as tires squeal. Music is stopped as the men exit out of the car, the one who killed the dog gets out first, happy. "I love this car!" He closes the door before going to him. "Yo, Perry! I want a new VIN number and some clean papers."
The man named Perry walks up to him, seeing the car as he stares at him, "Where'd you get that car?" He questioned him.
Qrow goes to his garage, finds his other car has its front window smashed as a bat remains sticking through the window. He sees that his car is gone.
Later a bus is travelling, as it stops Qrow walks out in his jacket but still wears his slight blood stained shirt. He turns and goes to the same workshop from before.
Inside, he's in, while everyone is working, he soon finds Perry drinking and sitting, leaving another stool for him as Qrow sits. "Is it here?" He simply asked.
Perry pours the liquor to his cup, before replying. "It was. Iosef Tarasov nicked it."
Back at the previous event, Perry questioned harsher, "I asked you where the hell did you get it?" He asked.
The man scoffed. "Who gives a shit?"
"Viggo's son?" Qrow recognized the surname.
"Viggo?..." Neptune hears the name.
"Not anyone we know..." Sun shrugged.
Blake glares at the man named Ioself, being a jerk, not helping the way he speaks to Perry, a faunus.
"Yeah..." Perry nodded as he took a sip as Qrow remained silent.
Back to the flashback, Perry then speaks, "Alright, you know what? Get out here. Get out of my shop." He demanded as he walked away.
"Did you just lose your shit, Perry?" Ioself smirked. "Because we own you." He pointed at the faunus.
Perry stopped and turned around. "What did you say to me?" He asked.
"Uh. We own you." He proudly stated.
"You don't own me." Perry seethed. "I work with your father. All right?" He sighed before asking something. "The owner of that car, did you kill him or what?"
"No." Ioself replied. "We sure as hell fucked up his dog. No offense." He laughs.
Perry perked up, "You fucked up his dog? That's what you did?" He said as he laughed but with eyes glaring at him. "That's crazy shit, man."
"Yeah-" Ioself immediately gets punched in the face, knocking him down by Perry. Then Ioself 's pal pulls out a pistol and aims at Perry at the head.
"Oh great..." Perry replied with an unfazed expression at this situation. "You're gonna come into my shop and pull a gun on me." Perry grabs the gun the man holds and pulls it directly at his forehead. "Well come on, do it. Or you can get the fuck out of my shop."
The formal man stops this and lowers the other's gun, Ioself with a bleeding nose gets up, "Viggo is not gonna like this." He stated.
"How do you know what Viggo likes or doesn't like?" Perry questioned him. "I'll tell you somethin' he's gonna understand." Before he walks off.
Ioself is about to had enough of him stopped by the man, "You should be on a fucking collar, animal shit!" He bellowed. "I guess we'll be takin' our business someplace else." They leave as Perry sighed from a distance, before closing the car hood.
"So he is that kind of guy..." Emerald is even more annoyed. " The type of guy who expects everything is for him due to being with a higher power."
"You know I don't stoop this low." Mercury responded to her, to which Emerald agreed.
Cinder scoffed, "He acts like he has all the power." She whispered. Pathetic beings, only power comes to those who'll do anything to get it.
"Deserved!" Nora liked how Perry punched him down, Ren assured, but he would agree to this.
"Such weakling..." Cinder muttered quietly.
"And he's a racist..." Blake muttered as Velvet got nervous by his words towards Perry.
"Yeah, more things to even hate about him right now." Yang replied.
"Hope Viggo regrets this." Sun remarked.
"Must be, the way Perry acted like this, maybe this guy isn't just a normal guy." Neptune acknowledged the view and looked at Qrow.
And now in the present, "So what are you gonna do?" Perry asked Qrow now he knows the story.
Qrow looks at his cup, picks it, and drinks the liquor, setting it down, "...I need a ride." He requested.
Now night time, Qrow drives off in a different muscle car and heads off to his home.
Back at the workshop, Perry is in a room, as then an old fashioned phone rings. He picks it up. "Perry speaking."
The call came from a man on top of the skyscraper, watching the large city of Vale. "I heard you struck my son." He said.
Perry, now aware this is Viggo, "Yes, sir, I did." He admits.
Viggo asked. "And may I ask why?"
"Well... Because he stole Qrow Wick's car, sir... And, uh, killed his dog." He stated.
Viggo turns back, "Oh." He replied before calling off, now realizing what his son has truly done.
Perry puts back the telephone, before he takes his cup and drinks.
"Yep, he screwed up." Sun confirmed.
"So it must be! This Qrow guy must be very important to garner such a reaction." Neptune exclaimed.
"Wick?" Ruby wondered about the name.
"Yeah..." Qrow added. "I get the Multiverse, but there's a reason why my surname is Wick?" He asked Mobius.
"Must be about your surname and its history, I don't know." Khaos speaks up.
"..." Qrow then immediately understood.
"Uncle Qrow?..." Ruby asked if he's okay.
"Yeah, he's right." Qrow replied.
"Nah, I'm always 50/50." Khaos gleamed.
"You are such a nuisance." Weiss remarked.
"Thank you!" Khaos beamed as Weiss shook her head.
Viggo goes down stairs and meets up with a man who walks up to him. "Viggo."
"Yeah?" He responded.
"They've agreed to your terms." He explains then Viggo nods, "It's not like you gave them much of a choice anyway though, right?" He asked rhetorically before looking around and whispering. "Congratulations." But Viggo is silent, leading him confused. "Sir?"
"...Have you seen my son?" Viggo asked.
Outside, Ioself leaves the car, checks himself in the window mirror before heading inside as his gang follows into the big building that is Viggo's house.
Now inside the house, Ioself is here with his father and the man beside. "How was your trip, kid?" Viggo asked as he poured down some liquor on the two cups.
"We won't be hearing from them anytime soon. Or ever." Ioself replied.
Viggo picks up the cups and walks up to his son's front, which even Ioself took small steps back at in his silence before his father gives him a cup as he takes it. The two clinked their glasses together, Ioself takes the drink while Viggo goes back and places the cup on the table.
"That's a nice jacket." Viggo goes back to Ioself.
"Thanks." He replied.
"Yeah..." Viggo then places his arm over at Ioself's shoulder before giving a punch right at his stomach. He goes back as Ioself kneels down puking slightly at the floor which disgusted Viggo. He picks up the napkin and tosses it to Ioself. "Clean it up."
"Huh, nice." Mercury smirked seeing how even Ioself's father kicked his ass.
"Guess this is how their relationship goes." Qrow acknowledged the relationship between the two.
"Explain how he goes." Ozpin replied. "To this end, the child is influenced by the parent, both aren't good people."
"Yeah... He's still shit." Coco murmured so Glynda doesn't reprimand her, but she didn't, this must be an agreement.
"Let's see what he is." Sun mentions Qrow due to this talk mentioning about him thanks to Neptune's assumption.
Ioself still gagged by the puke did as his father said as he wiped the liquid on the floor. The man watching says, "Should I go?" He asked.
"Stay." Viggo demanded as he took off his grey suit jacket revealing his red suit which he complied.
"What did I do?" Ioself questioned as his voice still quivered by the punch.
"You fucked up." Viggo replied as he rolled his red suit sleeves.
"We did what you asked. No one saw shit." Ioself stated.
Viggo then grabs his son to stand up. "I'm not talking about Mountain Glenn." He remarked.
"What then?" Ioself questioned. "About Perry's? So I stole a fucking car!"
Viggo in response, punched him in the gut. Even the man on guard winced at this. "Goodness Viggo..." He slightly walks back.
"You stay!" Viggo yelled at the man as he grunted in response. He speaks back to his son kneeling in pain as he looks up while Viggo unrolls his sleeves and wears his jacket, then took out a cup and pours some liquor. "It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to." He said.
"Who? That fucking nobody?!" Ioself exclaimed.
"...That fuckin' nobody... is Qrow Wick." Viggo seethed.
"You're right." Fox responded to Neptune.
"Here we go..." Neptune is ready to listen to what Viggo has to say.
Everyone now pays attention to what Viggo is saying. While hearing Viggo mentions Mt. Glenn knows this is a world without Grimm, and while watching how this world has no Grimm, thus no aura nor semblance.
At Qrow's home, he opens the door downstairs, in the basement. He holds his sledgehammer as he walks down, with deep steps...
Viggo begins his explanation, "He once was an associate of ours. They call him... Baba Yaga." He then takes a drink and leaves the bar counter.
Qrow pushes something big, leaving the floor wide clean, with a carpet laying here.
Isoelf gets up, "The boogeyman?" He asked.
Viggo replies. "Well, Qrow wasn't exactly the boogeyman..."
Qrow takes the carpet away... Then placed the head of the hammer on the concert floor...
"He was the one you sent to kill the fucking boogeyman." Viggo stated.
Qrow lifts his sledgehammer and swings it down on the floor, breaking it...
"...Oh." Ioself realized.
Viggo walks towards Isoelf. "Qrow... Is a man of focus..."
A hammer bangs again.
"Commitment..."
Bang...
"Sheer will."
Bang...
"Something you know very little about..." He and his son are near face to face. "I once saw him kill three men in a bar... With a pencil. With a fuckin'..."
Qrow grunts louder as he swings his hammer, breaking the concrete floor. Swing after swing, and multiple times...
"Pencil..." Viggo goes back and nearly intimidates the guard as his way of holding a pencil is used for killing. "Then suddenly one day he asked to leave. It's over a woman, of course." He said.
"The Baba Yaga..." Ozpin whispers those words.
"And the Boogeyman..." Glynda added.
"A man of focus, commitment, and sheer will..." James recalls Viggo's words. They are now hearing who this Qrow is capable of, an assassin.
"Killed three men, with a pencil..." Winter is bewildered by this.
"Huh..." Qrow thought of this version of him. Though this reminded the time when he and his sister Raven were in the Tribe, but more cruel, given this version of him is an assassin.
"Wow, that's kinda cool." Yang admitted. Ruby small nodded.
"Now this sounds like an action film." Sun recalls the film Try Hard.
"Oh, now you're getting it monkey boy!" Khaos joyed. "You're gonna enjoy this!"
Qrow sends the final hit, and puts away the hammer, kneels down to clear out the broken pieces of the floor.
"So I made a deal with him..." Viggo continues. "An impossible task that no one could have pulled off." He takes a small sip.
Qrow meanwhile continues digging through...
"The bodies he buried that day... Laid the foundation of what we are now." Viggo gestures to the house and room. "And then, my son... A few days after his wife died... You steal his car... And kill his fuckin' dog." He turns back.
Ioself quickly spoke up. "Father, I can make this right!"
"And how do you plan that?" Viggo asked as he was stopped by his word.
"By finishing what I started." Ioself stated.
Viggo is bewildered to hear this. "What the- Did he hear a fucking word I said?" He pointed and exclaimed towards his guard.
"Father, I can do this!" Ioself begged.
Viggo places his hand on his shoulder, then gives him a hug. "No... Son. Listen... Qrow will come for you... "
Qrow managed to clear out the debris revealing a large case, he opened it lifting the case lid...
"And you will do nothing... Because you can do nothing." Viggo whispered. "So get the fuck out of my sight..." With that, he lets go and Ioself immediately leaves.
Qrow sits then stands up as he looks inside the case, which is filled with pistols and its weapon accessories on the left and a lot of gold coins on the right.
"So that's the secret..." Neptune concluded. "And he gave it up for his loved one."
"Now it's gone and the only memory of her." Sun added. "I don't blame him and his anger."
Ozpin thinks of those words, he understands the grief and rage from this encounter, he'd seen this many times. (OMG we get it, us audiences don't need to get reminded!)
"Yeah, like those previous sunglasses that were broken by that stupid Grimm." Coco makes an example.
"Um, Coco, those can be replaced." Velvet replied.
"Doesn't feel exactly the same. But still, Mister Wick, go kick their ass." Coco gives a small but motivated cheer.
"And now he's begging." Mercury gives a mocking tone when Ioself pleads he can make things right. "That's funny." He chuckled at Viggo's reaction.
"Yeah, how so?" Emerald questioned Ioself's words. "Now he knows this guy is basically a figure that even threatens Viggo, what are the chances you are staying alive for?"
"Yeah, at this point, he should give up and not beg." Yang replied, her dark words make a look from Ruby, to which she agreed, but she wouldn't really say like that. But overall she would agree!
Cinder sees this, and agrees with Yang, this man is already an annoyance. At least Roman is a lot more capable and obedient, same with others, at least they can get to admit themselves.
"Go get them, Uncle..." Ruby whispers very softly. For Zwei and Helen.
Viggo opens his safe filled with coins and cash, but all he takes out is a small notebook. The guard is sitting as Viggo has his glasses on, having his scroll typing the number from the book he has opened.
Then an old telephone rings in the basement, Qrow picks it up and receives a call. "Hello Qrow..." Viggo's voice speaks out. He remains silent as Viggo speaks, "I heard about your wife, and I'm sorry. My condolences." He quickly mentions as he sighed. "It seems to be fate, or happenstance... Or just typical bad fuckin' luck caused our paths to cross once again."
Qrow is quiet, leaving Viggo to speak out. "Qrow, let us not resort to our baser instincts..." He advised. "And handle this like civilized men, to move on..." Qrow then calls out before Viggo could finish.
Viggo got the call off and removed the scroll from his ear as he sighed deeper and placed his hand on the table while he leaned down. "What'd he say?" The guard asked.
"...Enough." Viggo stated.
"Oh Gods..." The guard muttered.
He turns around to the guard, "Task a crew." Viggo ordered.
"How many?" He asked.
"How many do you have?" Viggo asked.
"He's not listening." Penny said after the call.
"All silence. Sounds about right." Sun replied.
"He's bringing it all." James is intrigued by this Qrow, seeing Viggo asked how many men the Guard has. "This is even more serious." But then again... No matter what Qrow is now, he is still the best Huntsman Ozpin has ever recruited.
"There won't be any negotiation, not when the bloodshed already started." Blake remarked as Pyrrha agreed.
At the shower, Qrow washes himself up. He turns as he turns off the water cap. Then later, he dresses up with black clothes, his suit, belt, pants...
Meanwhile Viggo is in his chair holding a glass cup of liquor as he whispers out a song, "Hurry fall asleep or The Boogeyman will come for you... From the swamp he will come... And take the children that don't behave..." He takes a drink as his expression shows worry leaking from his serious look. "The Boogeyman..."
Now Qrow is fully suit up in black attire. Outside his house, men wearing dark suits and head masks armed with pistols begin quietly infiltrating the house. Qrow turns back and holds his pistol.
They listened to the song, sung by Viggo as they watched twelve men armed and sneaking into the house. Coco admires the black suit, despite just a single color, she respects the look of it.
It begins... The slaughter is happening... For the men...
Inside, men with guns and flashlights begin searching for Qrow, just as they continue searching. Qrow sees them and is hiding at the side. Ready to strike...
Qrow comes out, shoots the man on the head, grabs the second's arm away and shoots the third at the gut, making him fall. Then he yanks second away, giving a quick shot at the head, before killing the third on the floor.
That body tumbled down the stairs, Qrow reacted another seeing and shot him in the head. He turns and makes a go as the other one arrives and immediately shoots but misses. Bullets hit the glass, shattered, as Qrow jumped off the stairs and shot the man that made him fall and a second shot to the head that killed him.
Qrow turns and sees the flashlight shining and goes in position, then the other comes out but he gets shot the moment he sees him. He walks slowly and backs himself on the wall, as he reloads his gun. Waiting, checking... A flashlight shined on his left.
Qrow raises his arms and smacks the man's gun off his hands. Then a smack on the head, but the man got up tries to push him, but Qrow uses the momentum and redirects him, hitting him at the shelf causing him to groan in pain. A quick knee jab, before Qrow grabs his arm and judo throws. While dragging and grabbing the man's arm, Qrow sees another light coming from below, he aims and kills him with a headshot before he can assist.
He then snaps the man's wrist as he groans in pain, before silencing him with a headshot. Qrow takes a small breather, as he looks for other men...
The rest continue looking through the house, Qrow crouches, sees them by the glass window that mirrors them. For the right moment, he ambushes them, shot the first guy at the shoulder, he jumps and grabs the man before using his weight to drag the injured man down, before quickly shoots the second as he makes the man roll down. Qrow then headshots the second then finishes the first.
He fires the third, but misses as the two get to cover which they are between a thin wall. Both turned and shot through the wall, but Qrow crouches down as the third didn't get shot while his misses from above.
Injured, he tries to fire but misses, Qrow goes for the opportunity, and smacks the third one in the head. A second swing is blocked, then he kicks him in the crotch which makes the third yell in pain. Qrow goes down and manages to toss him through the window, breaking it. Without letting a chance, Qrow reloads and shoots the man down.
He goes off finding the rest, he sees the light and quickly grabs the man's gun as he fired but missed. Now grabbing the arm, the goon pinned him in the wall headbutted him, a second came but Qrow used his gun and shot the second one.
The first knocked his gun out of his hand, but Qrow proceeded to grab and throw him over to the kitchen table and deliver a punch to his gut. He turns to see the second still hurt reach for the gun, but Qrow kicks it out, the second tries to fight back, but Qrow quickly hits him with jabs at the chest and gut then proceeds to judo throw him. The first tried to kick but was blocked as Qrow counterattacked, pulled him to the table, leaving his head out and he punched his head, with lethal force breaking his neck.
The second grabbed a knife from the kitchen, and attempted a swing. But Qrow dodges his swings, grabs his neck and pushes Qrow back to the hallway. But Qrow gained the advantage, and grabbed the man from behind avoiding his struggle and stabs from the knife to break free. Now grabbing the arm where he holds the knife.
He pushes the goon before uses his leg to make the second's leg slip down on the floor, and Qrow holding the guy's hand holding knife, both struggle as the man switch the his knife to his other arm, Qrow grabbed it, preventing the stab as he grabs the arm and manages to hold on the knife, he tries to stab the goon while he is stopping him.
Qrow grabs his face and pulls him down laying on the floor thus he goes on top pushing the knife down. Then he uses hard force and smacks down the knife managing to stab the goon as he screams after a few stabs, then the final grunt and swing, the knife is fully stabbed in killing the final goon.
They watch the action, and they are impressed, not the fight, what they saw is new, given their world they must be fast, agile, and powerful when facing opponents, especially Grimm.
Glynda sees Qrow's fighting style is a lot different to the one Qrow is, but she can see if he has the same personality, this would be something he would do.
"Nice one!" Yang complimented.
"Nice." Mercury liked how he utilized hand to hand combat.
"Effective. Every shot counts." Winter analyzed the fight, even the misses he did not miss an opportunity, and always ended them with headshots to kill them off. Not to mention the reaction, and aim, this is indeed professional skill.
Cinder agrees, how quickly he disposes of them with ease. So this must be the Baba Yaga, she would respect that.
"Woah, this is like Gun-Fu." Jaune remarked. "So this is like you guys with guns..." He looked at his team and other students.
"Yeah. That's Uncle Qrow..." Ruby replied with a smile, after all, he did teach her how to fight with her Crescent Rose.
"Yep." Those who are in Beacon nodded, Jaune now considered at least try something new... But for now, going with what he had is good enough.
"And we are told this isn't Mr. Wick's prime." Penny mentioned leading others to even more respect his fighting style.
Qrow slowly catches his breath, due to his retirement from action. Then a doorbell rings as he looks up. The door shows a figure through the window and some red flashing, Qrow holding his gun behind his back, he walks there and opens the door, showing the police officer outside.
"Evening Qrow." The officer greeted him.
"Evening Burnie." Qrow replied. "Noise complaint?" He asked.
"Noise complaint." Burnie nods as he sees the dead body that Qrow has killed which Qrow glances at it as well. "You, uh, workin' again?..." He asked as he took of his police cap.
"Nah, just sortin' some stuff out." Qrow casually replied.
Burnie nodded once more, "Ah, well... I'll leave you be then." He walks off. "Good night, Qrow."
"Good night, Burnie." Qrow replied.
"The cop is not concerned by this." Weiss is surprised to see this.
"It seems not only Qrow Wick is known by Viggo..." Blake acknowledged this exchange.
Then they recall Mobius' words, 'You shall see, this world may look peaceful. It's not what you seemed...', so they now know this peaceful world isn't what it is...
Back at the basement, Qrow sits down, he picks up the phone dialing the number as he waits for a received call. Just then, he got it. "This is Wick." He stated, a moment a mumbled response occurred, "Yes, Qrow Wick. That's right. I'd like to make a dinner reservation for 12." After the call, he then takes out the gold coins and places them on the desk, dropping them one by one. Then he grabs the coins and walks out.
The front door opens revealing a group of men waiting with a truck. The leading man, who is shorter than the other two who are taller and bulky, took off his hat and smiled, "Good to see you, Qrow." He greeted him.
"Hey, Joel." Qrow replied. Then Joel enters in while his group walks in carrying cleaning equipment.
"You look good." Joel complimented. "And here I'd feared you'd left all this behind." As he goes to his group, putting his hat on, while Qrow watches.
The men begin to unwarp everything, they begin dragging the corpses and cleaning the broken pieces and blood. Some of them begin cleaning the windows, sweeping the floor, mop the floor. Then the others wrap the bodies with plastic wrap and in large bags, before carrying them and tossing them into the back of the truck.
Weiss grimace by this, and the fact by this... "So, there's a service doing this?"
"It seems so..." Pyrrha acknowledged. "To think, a service like this during his past work."
"Like a... A world of assassins?" Sun suggested.
"You're not too far off..." Blake replied. "They seemed to use a different currency."
"And they are happy to see him back..." Ruby pointed out.
Ren explains. "Must be because he is this famous, this service enjoys the work he gives them. And the amount of coins he has means he pays them well."
"Great. Now we know. This world is already fucked up." Coco rolled her eyes after hearing this.
Now placing the last body, the crew walked out while Qrow and Joel are the last ones exiting out near the front door, "Will I be hearin' from you anytime soon?" Joel asked.
Qrow hands him the gold coins, "Good-bye, Joel." He responded.
Joel nodded. "Qrow." And then, he walks while the man closes the trunk of the truck. Then they leave.
Nothing to say, this is what they learned, the world without Grimm can lead the only remaining enemy... Themselves, seeing how Qrow is a legendary figure within some mafia/assassin world. They watched his grimace and grief much before Qrow's slight annoyance when recalling this to his own.
Now they see his next course of action, now he's back to his old skills.
