I was standing at the cliffside just waiting for Ruby and the others. The past few nights were pretty wild. Blake ran away, turns out she was a Faunus that was part of the White Fang, we fought Roman and some church dudes at the port, and my demon secret was revealed.

"Damn, hope they don't get mad at Tai or Qrow for always knowing."

Ruby:"Hey (Y/n)!"

They finally arrived with their combat gear on.

"Well girls, allow me to be your tour guide on this journey."

Yang:"Alright. Better show us the best sights or I'll leave you a one star review."

Blake:"(Y/n), are you sure about this?"

"Well, the secret had to come out sooner or later."

Weiss:"Let's just hurry and get this over with."

"You got it."

I slid down the side of the cliff and they followed suit. We began trekking through the forest as we cut down Grimm left and right. We kept going until I saw a green mist swirling around the base of some trees.

"Stop."

I held my hand up and they stood behind me as figures appeared from the green mist.

Ruby:"No way! Are those really demons?!"

Yang:"I can't believe they're lurking around the forest."

"Yeah. Ozpin asked me to kill any that show up or ones that try and get close to our fellow students."

Weiss:"They don't look like much compared to that demon from the diner."

"You'd be right about that, but still, these guys are far worse than Grimm. They'll hunt down the guilty or the innocent. There's plenty of different demons. The ones before us are simply lesser demons."

Blake:"What's a greater demon like?"

"Don't know. I've only ever fought the low tiers."

I grabbed Alastor and watched it crackle with lightning. The demons moaned and got their weapons ready. I thrusted Alastor and a blast of lightning hit one and it turned to liquid.

Yang:"What just happened?"

"I killed it. Some turn to dust, others to sand, and this bunch turns to liquid."

I ran at the others and sliced them down in an instant. The mist dissipated and the girls just looked at me in awe.

Ruby:"Wait, so you've been fighting demons all this time?"

"Started at 12 years old. I held a bit of fear in me, but I had to stay strong and eventually I got over my fears."

Yang:"I can't believe this..."
