(SLOW UPDATES) The Best of Atlas (Male Reader x Rwby Harem)

Chapter 17

(Y/N) Pov

Viper's Venom Officer: "Y-You'll never stop the White Fang! We'll only come back stronger!" He squeaked out as he reached for his weapon.

Before he could bring his weapon out completely I closed the distance, slicing his arm and lifting him up in the air by his neck. 

(Y/N): "Brave words coming from a dead man." With that I morphed my other arm into a spike, stabbing him through the heart. I threw his body over to where the rest of the group was still tied up. "YOUR LIVES END TODAY COWARDS!!!" 

I chased down the rest of the Vipers as they desperately tried to outrun me, it was all in vain. One by one I tore them all apart. Stabbing and slicing, leaving them as bloody piles in the snow like they did to my brothers. 

I flung another corpse into the snow as I let out a roar that echoed through the mountains, looking forward I spotted the last parasite. I charged at him, smiling as I noticed him looking back in fear, trying to run faster. 

I reached him and knocked him to the ground. I sliced his back as he tried to crawl away, he made no other attempts to fight or escape. He just covered his head and cried. 

Viper's Venom Grunt: "Please...Mercy." His words only made me angrier.

(Y/N): "Mercy? Mercy!" I spun him around so he was now facing me but kept him pinned to the ground with my arm. "Where was the mercy for Echo-2? The scientists? My friends?!" He stuttered trying to come up with an answer. 

Viper's Venom Grunt: "I-I'm sorry! Pl-Please!" I raised my hand ready to end his life, but stopped myself before I could.

Remember what you told yourself... remember what you don't want to become. 

Control it.

I deactivated my semblance, still looking down at him in my normal form. Hmm... a messenger may get the point across. I knelt down to his level. 

(Y/N): "You're going to go back to whoever is in charge of you and tell them exactly what happened here." He was still breathing heavily as he listened to what I was saying. "Tell them that night is falling once again, the shadow is back." His eyes widened as he fully processed what that meant.

Viper's Venom Grunt: "I can't get all the way back there in my condition!" He struggled to stand up. "I'll be torn apar-" He stopped as I pulled out my other dagger that I had kept hidden. 

(Y/N): "You can take your chances with the Ice Fiends and Morticians, or I can kill you right here." He put his hands up and looked back at the mountains around us then at me as if trying to decide. "Slither home little snake." With that he began jogging away from me.

I waited for him to disappear over the horizon before I walked back to the base. As the adrenaline of battle wore off I realized I had never untied the rest of my group. 

I turned the corner,surprised, to see my group untied. Echo team were sitting around the body of Echo-2 while team RWBY and CFVY were quietly sitting with each other. The only one by herself was Quill, so I walked up to her. 

(Y/N): "How'd you guys get untied?" She didn't even flinch at the sound of my voice as she took another swig from her flask. 

Quill: "One of your Atlas guys got the keys of the dead asshole you threw at us." She gestured towards Echo team. "The first thing they did is run over to him. They haven't left his side since." 

Echo-1 was holding Echo-2 in his arms while the others knelt around them. 

Quill: "Before you go and talk to them, I just want to say... thanks." I looked at Quill confused. "I may be a drunk but I'm far from emotionless." As if to prove her point she took another swig. "You saved my nieces... You saved me... Winter really got herself a good one." We both chuckled a little at the last part.
