Weiss I'm so sorry. I should have listened to you. I knew one place. It was Roman's favorite place to go when he wasn't on a mission. The abandoned warehouse in the forest. It took a while to get there having to fight grim on the way there. I was tired. But, that wasn't gonna stop me from saving Weiss.

I put Crescent Rose into scyth form before cautiously walking up to the warehouse taking a peek inside. It was dark. There was one light on under the light was Weiss knocked out cold and tied to a chair. I threw instinct aside and followed my reaction. I ran up to her calling out her name hoping to wake her. "Weiss!" Just then a fire ball appeared from the corner of my eye. I did a jump back flip to get away landing on both of my feet and my hand sliding back.

"Well hello there little red." Just then all the lights came on. I followed the voice to the balcony to where Torchwick stood. "Let her go Torchwick." I said as calmly as I could standing up. "I can't do that. You had a mission to kill her and you refused. Who knew that Bloody Rose would go soft huh?" I gritted my teeth at the sound of my assassin name. Bloody Rose. Given to me for all the blood I spilled thanks to my weapon. "You know I've wanted to quit for a long time Torchwick. I became an emotionless piece of shit. Its thanks to Weiss I was able to feel again."

He inhaled his cigar smiling as he exhaled. "I'd like you to meet my new partner and the one who's gonna kill you both." Just then a woman wearing a red dress with a golden design walked to his side. "How exciting isn't it? She's new to the assassins. Her name is Cinder. Its my job to make sure her first kill doesn't get away." With that Cinder's dress lit up as another fireball was shot at me. I dodged it quickly turning Crescent Rose into gun form.

I pointed it at Cinder and made a few shots. She shielded each bullet using her aura. God dammit. Next thing I knew she threw some dust into the air turning them into ice crystals and shot them at me I was able to dodge a few until one caught my hood and I was stuck. I tugged on it but, it wouldn't budge. I was stuck. I closed my eyes waiting for my end. But, instead I heard bullets fired and metal clashing. I took a look and saw Yang along with Blake.

"What? How did you guts find me?" Yang fired a few more shots with her gauntlets before turning her head to me smiling. "The best thing about your semblance is the rose petals you leave behind." After her sentence finished she ran over to Weiss and untied her. Carrying her out of the warehouse away from harm. I turned my attention to Blake who was taking care of a few pretty skilled grunts.

I quickly turned my gaze to Torchwick who had his cane gun pointed at me. I yanked on my hood, ripping it and ran towards the balcony shooting at the chains and bars holding it up. Cinder and Torchwick came down putting them on equal ground with us. Yang came in like a wrecking ball and punched Cinder a few yards away catching her off guard. Torchwick turned his attention to me. "I guess that leaves you and me then huh?" I put myself into battle position only to see him run. "Coward!" I called as I chased him out of the warehouse.

"Coward? Me? No. I just don't like cramped spaces." He swung his can down on me I turned my gun back into a scyth at the last second and blocked it. I started swinging at him only to realize I was at a disadvantage in this close combat because of Cinder and the Grimm. I jumped back to get a better advantage but, within that last second I heard another gun fire. Followed by a warm feeling liquid coming from my abdomen area. I was shot.
