Remnant's Knightfall (Rwby X Bane Reader)

Volume 1.5/Part 3

Ironwood looked at the two sprawled out on the ground before looking at me with annoyance in his gaze.

"Care to explain to me what is happening Bane?"

"Simple, your specialist apparently doesn't know how to turn the other cheek towards an old drunkard."

He looked at me in confusion before I sighed and explained the meaning to him. With a glare directed at both of them he motioned for them to get up and turned to face me.

"We will discuss this later Winter, in the mean time Ozpin has urgent business with you two."

He said pointing to me and Qrow. I nodded and made my way towards the headmaster's office while Qrow trailed behind me every so often taking a sip from his flask.

As we arrived I saw Glynda and Winter in a heated arguement while Croc just stood nearby silently watching it all unfold. I walked over and stood next to him as he nodded in greeting.

"You and Glynda enjoy your little holiday?"

He grunted in annoyance and shook his head.

"Key word being little, what was supposed to be a week lasted only two and a half days due to a short notice. The woman spends more time at work than anywhere else I swear."

I patted his shoulder as we both walked towards the others.

"Keep your chin up big guy, things might change soon for you two. Who knows?"

He sighed and nodded as Winter left the room. As we stood in front of the desk Ozpin looked at me with a nod.

"Very well, now that that has been delt with. Qrow has something interesting to report. Someone has been disrupting comunications all over Atlas. We believe it to be a rouge huntsman."

The drunkard chuckled and shook his head.
"Well if so I've never seen anyone like them. Faster and stronger than any human of faunus should be. And with every sighting of this person they always vanish without a trace. Like chasing a damn ghost."

Ironwood nodded and placed his scroll on the desk before projecting a security feed onto the screen. The footage only lasted about thirty seconds but we saw a dark cloaked figure rip through a platoon of Atlas security guards before quickly vanishing off the screen.

"Qrow's right. This speed, agility, reflexes, it's almost impossible to move like that."

"Could the intruder be an android of some sort?"

"Unlikely, Atlas is the only one with the technical capabilities for that kind of robotics."

"No...."

All eyes turned towards me as I drew closer to the screen and zoomed in on the image. I could tell, those techniques and that fighting style. It was him.

"General Ironwood your assailant is without a doubt a human."

"How can you tell?"

"Because I've fought him before. I recognize his moves, and trust me when I say that all your troops won't be able to capture or contain this person."

Glynda was about to protest but Croc raised his hand to stop her.

"Bane's right, this guy is bad news.
And who knows if others are with him."

"Well then what do we do?"

He turned to look at the sceen showing batman taking them out with ease before continuing on his way.

"If you see him, shoot to kill"

Neo sat at the table inside the club slowly swirling her glass and watching the other patrons drinking at the bar or getting their groove on on the dance floor.

She sighed and took a sip of her glass  before hearing a small clacking sound. She opened her eyes and looked up in surprise as a bowl of ice cream was placed on her table.

"No neopolitain flavor I'm afraid. Still you do like strawberry, or so I'm told."

She looked up at the woman curiously. She had short black hair, brown eyes and wore a white skirt with a black leather jacket and fishnet stocking tucked away snuggly under her leather boots. Her face seemed friendly but something seemed off about her.

She's nervous, about what exactly?

As Neo gave her a once over her eyes were drawn to the black jewel pendant, shaped like a cat's head, hanging from the silver choker she wore.

Her hands tightened on the handle of her umbrella before calming down and picking up her scroll.

Play it cool for now.

I was just thinking about ordering this when you showed up, thank you.

At her words she seemed to visibly relax and she sat down across from her before smiling slightly.

"No problem, I've seen you eating it here before with the twins. Glad you like it."

So, you come here often?

She shrugged
"Not really, just whenever I feel like it. I spend a lot of my time working nowadays. What about you, you a regular?"

My boyfriend used to work here, him and the boss are good friends. So yeah, this is my usual place. Besides who says no to free drinks?

"Really? That must be nice....."

Neo held out her hand and the taller woman took it as she placed her scroll on the table.

The name's Neopolitain, but every one calls me Neo. Nice to meet you miss...?

"Kyle, Selina Kyle."

As she shook her hand Neo suddenly pulled her closer to her and in one fluid movement placed the tip of a blade against her jugular while pinning her arm in place.

Alright then Miss Kyle, let's get a few things straight. I know who you are, and Bane told me enough that I know you're bad news. So tell me why are you here?

Her eyes widened slightly before raising her hands in a non-threatening gesture.

"Ok....you got me. I realize how this might seem but you need to listen to me. What I'm about to say next is important, Bane's life depends on it."

I narrowed my eyes at her before releasing her arm and lowering, but not releasing the small blade.

I'm listening.
