Cold As Ice: RWBY

War of Minds

The plane landed in a field a couple miles away from the camp. "You think they saw us?" asked Ruby. Qrow stepped out of the plane and ruffled her hair. "Most definitely kid," he said, "We aren't dealing with amateurs here." He turned to the rest of the group. "Now, don't get cocky just because you have all this fancy gear and weapons," Qrow warned, "Never let your guard down." Zayne got out a pair of magnetic handcuffs. "So I just slap these onto our fearless leader and we're good to go?" he asked. Yuuto shook his head. "I wouldn't underestimate him," he said, "Remember, he is a trained killer now; he won't hold back, so you shouldn't either." The group all nodded in agreement. "Let's move out then," said Ezra. The two teams started to move for the camp. 

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I crossed my arms in front of me and closed my eyes as I searched for their auras. "They're getting closer," I whispered. A few seconds later, I saw the two teams appear out of the forest. I cracked my neck and walked forward to meet them. We met in the middle of the clearing, the two groups forming a circle around me. "So, we gonna do this or what?" I asked. The one called 'Zayne' threw the first punch. I grabbed his fist and forced him to his knees. I pulled my arm back, formed a fist and smashed it into his face. "First one down?" I taunted. He groaned and struggled to get up. I put my foot on his back and held him down. The rest of the group rushed me at once. I blocked their hits and drew my weapon. I flipped it to the side that held a blade and swung it in a wide arc around me, giving me some space. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an older man I didn't recognize run into the camp. "Let him rescue Blake," I thought. I turned back to the group. "I'll enjoy this a lot more." They all drew their respective weapons and attacked. I parried an enormous scythe and a rapier; kicking their wielders in the chest and slashing, forcing them to back up. I ducked under a fiery kick and grabbed the leg, lifting Yuuto over my head and sending him crashing into the ground. Ezra stepped forward and drew her katana, swiping and stabbing. I blocked all her attacks with ease and blasted her away into the air. I leaped after her and grabbed her arm. I spun once and threw her back into the ground. I landed on her, smashing her further into the ground and rolled, blasting at the remaining opponents. "Two down, three to go," I thought. I faced Yuuto, Ruby and Weiss. 

I transformed my weapon into a fully fledged blade, four feet of razor sharp steel. Yuuto sent four fireballs in my direction, but I used my blade to absorb the fire, turning my blade red hot. I ran towards them and Ruby rushed to meet me. I blocked her scythe's swipe and ducked under her sniper's shot. I attempted to slice her weapon in half, but she parried my blow and shot me in the chest, sending me flying and making me lose my grip on my weapon. I growled in frustration. I drew my knife and beckoned for her to come get me. As expected, Ruby aimed Crescent Rose behind her and fires off a shot, flying towards me. I side stepped and slashed at her as she went past. I thought I drew blood, but it was just her cape. I felt something slam into my back and turned to see Yuuto throwing fire at me. I started to walk towards him but someone grabbed me from behind. It was Zayne! "Do it now Weiss!" he yelled. I pulled him off my back and slammed him into the ground. I felt ice start to crawl up my legs and onto my chest. I broke free, but Ezra, who had also gotten up, grabbed me from behind and lifted me above her head. "Down you go!" she yelled. She smashed me into the ground with a lot more force than I expected, stunning me. I felt someone pull my arms behind me and cuff them. "Got him!" yelled Ezra. I kicked her in the face and leaped to my feet. I smashed my foot into her chest and kicked her in the head as she went down. Weiss appeared in front of me and ducked under my kick. She stabbed her rapier into my chest and ice appeared immediately, immobilizing me. I struggled, but couldn't break free. "Ryan is dead!" I yelled. "All that is left is Omega!" The ice enveloped my head and my helmet, blocking my view of Weiss. "I will be free," I vowed silently. "And when I am free, you will all wish you killed me."
