(EN) RWBY OC: Team KNRD (Volume 7)

Chapter 11: Aggressive Evening

(The next day, Narrator POV)

The riots that took place in Mantle last night have finally calmed down. The army made several arrests. Some were loaded into trucks, others waited on the street, sitting against the wall, or on the curb. The night made the news and Robyn Hill was interviewed.

"Although rioting in Mantle are finally under control, how does it feel to know that the majority of thosee involved were your supporters?" The diarist asks.

"I don't condone rioting, especially when our city is being denied aid for the hardships we've already had to go through. But Jacques Schnee's latest stunt is holding the city hostage for his own political gain. So I understand their anger, but ask that they show it not in the streets, but at the polls today." She responded.

"Boy, Night was right." Dragon sighed. Team KNRD and Emerald had just watched the news via Emerald's Scroll, and once again, Night had been right.

" This bastard still manages to get 30% of the vote. And still, it's not over." The young man sighed as he looked over his Scroll.

"With the mess he made, 30% is already a lot." Resare pointed out.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Emerald sighed. "It may be a guess, but... I think Schnee is getting outside help with his votes." The young woman says.

"Help? From whom? Salem?" Krystal asks her.

"I don't know... I haven't been kept informed about an attack on Atlas. But the murders at Mantle make me think that an associate of Salem is here." Emerald replies.

"What do you mean?" Resare asks her.

"Didn't you notice the commonality between all the victims? They were all stabbed in the heart, and a purple liquid was found." Emerald tells them.

"Poison?" Krystal asks.

"Venom." Dragon replies

"Is there anyone in Salem's group who can poison people?" Night asks his sister.

"Yes. His name is Tyrian Callows. He's a faunus with a scorpion's tail. He stings its opponents with his tail and leaves a deadly venom. The time before his victim dies varies depending on where they are stung and how deep the wound is." She replied. Dragon and Night exchanged a look before the faunus spoke.

"Well, if Night can handle his case..."

"Going after Cinder is one thing, but Tyrian's not the same. His tail and venom are his main weapons, and all it takes is for him to skin you and you're poisoned. This guy is a crazed psychopath, and that he managed to escape from a maximum security asylum on a remote island in Mistral just to commit various murders all over Anima already gives an idea of the picture." Emerald told him.

"We're still going to have to face him, sooner or later." Night told her.

"So, how about we send the soldiers and Ace-Ops to deal with him?" Dragon offers.

"What do you mean?" Krystal asks.

"We know Tyrian is in Mantle. We'll just have to search the city for him, and if we find him, we'll report his location to Ace-Ops. At 5, 6, or even 7 against 1, his chances of escaping are pretty slim." Dragon explains.

"I'll search the city, then." Night tells him.

"I'm coming too." Krystal asks.

"We're going to have to monitor the gathering place as well. If there's any crime to be committed, chances are he's going to be there." Emerald told them before she heard a knock on the door. It was Luka.
