The streets are littered with corpses covered with dark swollen growths all over their bodies. Sobs and wailing can be heard as men, women, and children mourn dead family and friends. There is a smell of burning corpses in the air.
Two dark clothed Grimm with bird-like faces or masks walk down a street of the dead. One wears a wide brimmed hat while the other wears a hood but has lines coming from his eyes like tears.

Kuro: By the Gods, Reaper...
Reaper: I know, Kuro...
The two Reapers pass by a block and look to see dozens of people hanging by lamp poles or trees in the block. Reaper doesn't seem phased while Kuro places a hand by the area a mouth would be.
Kuro: What the hell??!!
They see many of the dead have paper hanging on them reading, "Witch" or "Warlock". They were mostly Faunus with some humans too.
Reaper: They were likely murdered because of their race or because of religious affiliation. Humans have a tendency to cast blame at the innocent when they are scared.
The two then see a group of five humans walk around a corner restraining a female cat Faunus and holding some rope. They hear the Faunus screaming for help as the humans find a spot to hang her.
Reaper: Bloody hell...
The two Reapers walk towards the humans. One of them sees the Reapers and pulls a knife.
Thug: Oi, this don't concern ya Reapers! Move along!
Faunus: Please hel-
Thug 2: Shut yer gobber!
They gag the Faunus as tears fall from her eyes. The two Reapers silently stare at the thugs. They then look at the terrified girl.
Thug: What? She's just one of them animals anyway. Nobody'll miss 'er or any of these freaks.
Reaper and Kuro look at each other before summoning their scythes and quickly move to behead three of the thugs in front of them. The other two thugs stand there, completely stunned before the one holding the Faunus lets her go and runs while the other one lunges at Reaper, who quickly disarms the thug, grabs their knife and stabs them in the eye. The thug falls to the ground as the Reapers watch the last thug running down the street.
Reaper: Want to try the new Dust-powder pistol?
Kuro: Don't mind if I do.
Kuro raises his right arm towards the thug that's getting further away and a mechanical click is heard. A small two-shot pistol comes out of Kuro's sleeve and he aims it at the thug and fires a bullet at him. The bullet pierces through the thug's Aura like it was nothing and he falls to the ground with blood and brains seeping out of his head. Another mechanical click is heard as the pistol returns to Kuro's sleeve.
