Rwby: Child of Grimm: Volume 3 (complete)

Chapter 12: Fall

In an undisclosed location, a young, black haired boy is sedated and strapped tightly into an odd metal container as pieces of black armour are carefully attached to him. Around him, several heavily armed guards watch over the process undertaken by a group of lab assistants being instructed by the tall, brown haired man called Jorden.

[Jorden] "careful. We don't need a repeat of last time."

Beads of sweat form on the assistants' brows and the guards sweat fogs the visors of their helmets. As the boys black eyes begin to slowly open, his pale face is covered once more by the black helmet.

[Jorden] "alright, that should be working. Run the test just to be sure."

The lab workers scatter away to their safe stations and a large see through casing appears from the ground and ceiling completely encasing the boy.

[Jorden] "release the restraints."

Reluctantly, one of the workers flicks a switch, releasing the boy from his confined space and out into the encased area. The boy simply stands there, unmoving and seemingly unthinking while the lab staff nervously watch him like a caged animal that could break out at a moments notice.

[Jorden] "bring out the Banshee."

The same worker flicks a second switch opening an area of the ceiling before pressing a few more buttons, lowering in a cage made of the same material as the boys current habitat. The Grimm inside, with its pure black body and faceless head begins rapidly pressing itself against the glass as hard as it can in an attempt to escape its enclosure. Eventually, the cage hits the ground with a quiet thud and, with a nod from Jorden, the worker flicks one last switch opening the cage and releasing the so called Banshee. Twitching its head curiously at its new environment, it notices the boy, still as a statue. The Banshees head begins to split vertically, revealing the pure red inside.

[Jorden] "activate it."
[Worker] "r-right."

At the words of his instructor, the scared scientist flicks one more switch. The guards raise their weapons in fear as two green lights shine through the boys mask before he dashes at the Banshee, sending his fist through the Grimms open head he raises it off the ground with his arm impaled through its head as its body convulses and dissipates. The boy looks towards his captors with an animalistic hunger in his eyes, scanning the room before backing up when he notices the armoured figure leaning against the wall with a katana firmly strapped to his side, red eyes glowing with calm killing intent through his helmet.

[Jorden] "end."

When the terrified worker is unable to comply with his order, a female assistant with tied back purple hair and green, reptilian eyes pushes him out of the way and flicks the switch in his stead.

[Jorden] "Thank you, Viper."

The caged boys eyes dull as he returns to his statuesque position and Jorden turns to face the armoured figure in the corner.

[Jorden] "You can tell Crème that he'll be ready."

The figure simply nods and makes his way past the guards to the exit. Back at beacon, Sol sits idly rocking on his chair as a group of four consisting of the members of DMNG sit at the same table. Looking up and confirming the presence of the group, Sol is the first to speak.

[Sol] "so what did you guys want?"

The four look at each other, as if mentally asking who would be the first of them to ask the question that has been weighing on their minds since their preliminary battle against PUCE.
