RWBY: Logan

Dark Agendas

Essex Corporation
Mister Sinister was in his office at his company as he looked over the notes of potential projects for the Essex Corporation. They had perfected both the cloning process and bringing semblances together into one body. There was one concept that had both telepathic and magnetic semblances which was called "Onslaught." There was another which was a potential upgrade for the failed Weapon XI. It was called "Sum." There were countless other projects but there was one thing. Mister Sinister knew that for those projects to work, he would the DNA of the huntsmen and huntresses from the Vytal Festival Tournament. His receptionist called, "Mr. Essex, there's a 'Salem' who wishes to call you." Mister Sinister replied, "Patch her in." A hologram of a woman in shadow appeared in Mister Sinister's office. "Nathaniel Essex," said the woman. "It is to my understanding that you threatened my apprentice. Is that true?" Mister Sinister replied boldly, "She destroyed a potential business upbringing and promised me that I will have new genetic material if the attack goes as planned." The woman nodded, "Of course, but she also tells me that you serve someone else. She said you described this master of yours, 'much powerful than Cinder, yourself, and myself'. Is that correct?" Mister Sinister said, "We have a shared alliance. I create the warriors he wishes for, and one day soon, destroy everything to make anew." The woman demanded, "Let me see your master." Mister Sinister scoffed, "Do you wish to make the same mistake your student made challenging me?" The woman frowned as Mister Sinister continued, "My master only chooses to talk to anyone he wishes. And as of right now, he wishes not to talk to you." The woman asked, "What did you mean when you said he was the 'first'?" Mister Sinister answered, "He was there at the beginning of time when he ruled all, and one day soon he will come to seize Remnant once again. If anyone crosses his or my path, including you, I will distinctive pleasure of collecting your blood samples after my master kills you without any regard or mercy." He shuts off the hologram before the woman could reply. A robed boy then enters his office and bowed down as he said, "The master requests your presence." Mister Sinister nods as he walked out of his office followed by the boy. Eventually they went inside an elevator and they went down to a secret compound of the company itself that none of the Essex Corp. employees never knew, not even the janitors.

The room looked like an ancient throne room. Mister Sinister and the robed boy kneeled down to an 8.5 foot tall being being hooked onto a mobile life support system. "What is it, my master?" asked Mister Sinister. "I have heard your conversation between you and the witch Salem you have told me about," said the being. "The wretch still is trapped in her fantasy of being the most powerful in all of Remnant. She has no idea." The being sighs as he summoned of a few monitors showing the Vytal Festival Tournament. "What is your order for me?" asked Mister Sinister. The being replied, "Participate in the attack on these heroes and collect their DNA. Then create my Horsemen and army as soon as my life support finishes its work." Mister Sinister nodded, "At once, my master." He turned to go inside the elevator as it went up back to the Essex Corporation.

Amity Colosseum
Logan sat down next to Ruby as he heard Port announced, "Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for! The one-on-one finals!" The crowd cheers wildly but Logan wasn't exactly in a frivolous mood. Since the call from Victor Creed and meeting his eldest brother Dog Logan, he hasn't smiled once. As much as Logan wanted to cheer for his girlfriend, he couldn't help but think about Victor's threat.

"I will look forward to breaking you so much it'll turn you into the runt you've always have been."

Port asked, "Barty, why don't you explain the rules?" Oobleck nodded, "Ah, it's quite simple, Peter. Instead of a bracket system, each round of the finals will be randomly determined immediately before the match takes place!" Port elaborated, "Much like any good hunt, there will be zero time to prepare!" Oobleck agreed, "Ah, yes, yes! Now, let's see who our first match will be!" Logan watched the roulette eventually spin until it stopped. "Yang Xiao Long and Mercury Black!" announced Oobleck. Ruby cheered, "Break a leg, sis!" Ruby looked at Logan as he began to clap until she was satisfied. Port asked, "Would all other combatants please leave the stage!" The lineup does so as Yang and Mercury prepare for their fight. Logan himself was starting to worry about his friends. What was going to happen? Where's Victor Creed going to strike? Even Logan was starting to doubt himself. I save the future from Sentinels but why I do I feel like something else is going on? thought Logan. Something is, and I can't help but wonder if Victor's a part of it. These thoughts were making Logan not pay attention to Yang and Mercury's match.

Victor smirked, "I was always better at this part than you." Logan retorted, "Yeah, the killing part?" Victor stated, "Day's gonna come, little brother. I won't be there help you." Logan walked away with Victor saying behind him, "Don't worry. You're just like me. You just don't know it yet."

Suddenly Logan was out of his thoughts as he suddenly saw Yang getting surrounded by Atlesian Knight-200 droids and two soldiers. "YANG!!!" yelled Logan. Without a moment to lose, Logan went running on his way to Yang.

Victor Creed was watching this on the TV at a bar as he took a drink and also drawing a smiley face on the table with his claws. The bartender noticed him as he asked, "You're not from around here, are ya?" Victor looked up to see him as he snickers and asked, "What gave me away?" The bartender only shrugged.
