Reaper of Remnant Volume 3 (A RWBY Fanfiction)

*This chapter is brought to you by chibi Author asleep with his phone on his face*

Ruby: *comm* Ironwood's declaring martial law and abandoning Mantle! Salem is coming and he's going to use the Staff to move Atlas. If we don't stop him Mantle's going to be de--

Inside a flying Manta, Robyn Hill, Circe, and Qrow are looking at Clover, who is sitting beside a restrained Tyrian.

Robyn: Declaring martial law? We can not let him do this.

Clover: Ms. Hill, I'm sure the General understands the enormity of his--

Clover's Scroll makes a noise, and he brings it out to check it. The screen shows mugshots of Team RWBY, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Oscar, Reaper, Circe and Qrow. There is text above the mugshots, reading:

"!WANTED!
Detain on sight"

Clover puts his Scroll away, stands up with a sigh, and begins approaching Circe and Qrow, the latter whom grips the hilt of his weapon.

Qrow: Clover...

Robyn's Scroll vibrates, and she brings it out to see the same Wanted notification.

Clover: Qrow, Circe, you should know that I've been asked to bring you in.

Tyrian: *laughing* A free ride and a show!

Clover: There's also an alert out for Team RWBY's arrest.

Qrow: What? Has James lost his mind!?

Robyn: He's trying to stop anybody who might get in the way of this inhumane plan.

Robyn stands up from her seat and deploys her crossbow.

Robyn: Looks like he underestimated me. *aiming at Clover* Again.

Clover: Only Qrow and Circe are under arrest. After everything we've been through tonight please don't make me arrest you too.

Robyn clenches her teeth and glares at Clover, the bolt on her crossbow being pulled back against the string. In response, Clover draws his fishing rod.

Qrow: Cut it out! Both of you.

Circe: Let's all calm down.

Qrow: We're almost back to Atlas. Let's talk to James personally and--

Tyrian: It's taking a very long time for this show to get to the good part.

Qrow: Shut up.

Robyn: He's right. Let's get this over with.

Qrow: Robyn!

Robyn fires the bolt, but Clover casually blocks it with his fishing rod. She shifts her crossbow into bladed shield form and charges at Clover, but before she could strike him, a energy wall appears between them and she smacks right into it, knocking Robyn to the floor. They all look to see Circe standing near the pilot and Tyrian. Her eyes are emitting a reddish glow as her hands are enveloped with magical energy, her left hand being aimed at Qrow with the right being aimed at Robyn and Clover.

Circe: Enough!

Robyn: What are you doing?! He's trying to arrest you and Qrow!!

Circe: That's not important right now, in case you forgot, we have a murderer sitting right next to us that would love for a distraction like this!

Tyrian smirks psychotically.

Tyrian: You do have the intelligence of your mother. Goody!

He chuckles maniacally before Circe shoots him with a beam of magical energy that electrocutes him seemingly unconscious. Robyn stands back up while she, Clover, and Qrow look at her with somewhat terrified eyes.
