A Rose, Drowned Under A Sea Of Hate... A Bioshock X RWBY story

Chapter 6

The two teams and shadow of a man stared at each other, no one making a word as the all stared in disbelief while Omega's lights went back to a dim yellow.

Yang: "How do you know my name?" she asked, her eyes squinted in suspicion.

Omega himself had no clue as to why he knew this person's name, it and one other word had been cemented into his head for as long as he could remember.

Omega: "I... can't remember..." he said as he clutched his head, a burning sensation behind his eyes, a memory trying to get loose...

Yang: "What do you mean you 'can't remember'?" she asked, starting to lose her patience as her head wasn't completely in the game today.

Omega: "I just... can't..." he stated glumly, the burning sensation becoming even worse "Memories... gone..." he stated as he looked down at his hands "Normal life... taken..." he continued.

While they were talking, Cardin had recovered and was beginning to move behind Omega to try and hit him from behind while several Atlas gunships circled round, waiting for the order to fire...

Omega: "Identity... stolen..." he stated as his hands fell back to his sides and he gave out a metallic sigh "Remember... very little..."

Jaune: "Wait... someone, did that to you?" he asked as he gestured to the metallic suit that covered Omega.

Omega: "Yes..." he stated, his hands clenching in anger "Left to die... at the bottom of... the ocean..." he sighed as his hands unclenched.

Cardin: "HEY METAL MAN!" he called out as he swung his mace directly at Omega, crashing it into his helmet, cracking the visor and jarring the helmet loose, while sending him back several metres.

Cardin: "WHO'S THE BIG MAN NOW?!" he laughed as he looked at Omega's steadily rising form, his lights switching back to a murderous red as he stared down Cardin, his drill starting to rev up and groan.

Ozpin, having watched the entire battle this far and having helped Eleanor and Delta to safety, saw the danger and tried to warn Cardin.

Ozpin: "Mr Winchester, get out of there!" he yelled at the student as Cardin simply readied his mace.

Cardin: "Come to Cardin..." he smirked as Omega roared in rage and charged straight at Cardin, much to team JNPR and RWBY's bewilderment.

When Omega came into range, Cardin swung his mace vertically at him, only for Omega to block it with his left hand, and ramming his spinning drill straight into Cardin's midsection, tearing away what remained of his aura.

Cardin shoved Omega back before quickly unleashing several quick hits on his helmet, slightly denting it and cracking the pressure seal on it.

Omega simply stood there and took the hits, waiting for Cardin to tire himself out...

After several hits, Cardin was exhausted, his earlier injuries and lack of aura taking their toll on him.

Cardin: (Tired) "Come on, big man..." he panted, standing up straight "Give it your best shot..." he said smugly, thinking that Omega would run away scared like all the others he had bullied.

Omega simply stared at him for several seconds, a confused look forming on Cardin's face...

Before Omega simply backhanded him into a nearby wall.

As Cardin slowly got up from the ground, groaning and coughing, Omega slowly advanced, blue electricity sparking from his hand. As Cardin stood up and tried to charge at Omega with his fists, Omega simply shocked him with the Electro Bolt, sending him into a shaking spasm without his aura.

Cardin, collapsed onto the ground, steaming and twitching violently at the aftermath of the electrical surge through his body. Omega stood over the teen for a second before grabbing him by the throat and bringing him up to his cracked visor.

Cardin: "Y-y-you f-f-f-f-freak..." he gasped as Omega tightened his grip around his neck.

Omega growled lowly as he revved up his drill again and Cardin's eyes went wide as he realised what was about to happen.

Cardin: "NO! PLEASE, DO-" he was cut off, literally, as Omega buried the drill deep into his stomach, blood, broken bones and shredded internal organs painting the ground a bright crimson red as his voice was replaced with a gurgle as blood began to make its way up his throat and out of his mouth and nose.

Omega pulled his drill out of the now lifeless corpse and examined it, before the lower half snapped off and fell to the ground with a sickening SPLAT! 

Atlas Gunship pilot: "Friendly down! All units' weapons free, take him down!" the command echoed through the ship's radios, as well as Omega's.

Omega quickly dropped the other half of what used to be Cardin, and bolted down the street just as the gunships opened fire, surprising everyone with his sudden burst of speed.

Omega, freed from his bloodlust, started to wonder how he was going to escape his pursuers and get out of the city, when a image of a large mechanical gate came to mind, with several caravans and traders moving through it into the city.

Omega: 'Time to leave...' he thought as he cut around a corner and started to head through the highway...

Meanwhile, the hooded figure continued to watch from a distance, bringing a hand to their chin.

???: "Yes, he'll do nicely..." they smirked before disappearing in a flash of light...
