Cayde hastily enters the blacksmith's shop, which has five heaters on at the same time to combat the increasingly dropping temperature outside.
Blacksmith: Hey close the door before the cold gets in!
Gunslinger: *Grunt* Yeah I know!
He shuts and locks the door with hast and when the shop starts to warm up again, the Blacksmith immediately recognizes the armor his new customer is wearing.
Blacksmith: The Gunslinger? You're the last person I expected to see in this blizzard, you are a long way from the sand storms of Vacuo.
Gunslinger: Believe me, Griggs, I would not be in this frozen hell unless it was absolutely necessary.
Griggs: Well then, you want some new iron?
Gunslinger: Yeah, I need a rifle and a pistol that can fire armor-piercing rounds, both custom made.
Griggs: Yeah, I can do that but it will take a few hours.
Gunslinger: I can wait.
He sits in a chair and takes out his guitar and starts messing around with it, to pass the time.
Gunslinger: ~If I ever were to lose you...~
Flashback
Year 3
Day 180
Team STRQ Dorm
3rd Pov
The eight of them are playing a board game to take their minds off the pain going on in the City of Vale.
Cayde: Alright Sum Sum, it's your turn.
Summer: I roll a six and *Gasp* I win.
Anna: *Signing* AH, SO CLOSE!
Raven: Hah, board games were a great distraction Summer.
Summer: Yeah thanks.
Nick: I just wish we could help find that SOB instead of being stuck in lockdown.
Qrow: Well I heard that they tracked the killer to a warehouse at the docks.
Yuri: Hopefully, there is enough pain in the world.
Sum wanted to lighten the mood.
Summer: Already you ready for another round.
Everyone: Yeah!
Ozpin sits in his chair drinking his coffee, watching the late-night news with Goodwitch by his side.
News Anchor: Our top story tonight, the VPD has just found five more bodies near downtown Vale, the Police have refused to comment on this hideous crime, but our insider source said the bodies showed serious signs of amputation mutilation and even some cannibalism. They also said that the initials C.K. were carved onto the victim's skin, this is no doubt the work of the so-called, 'Carnage' killer whose body count has just reached the upper thirties, and the police still have no leads as of yet...
He clicks off the fed.
Ozpin: This is getting worse, with the news spreading fear the Grimm attacks will increase exponentially.
Goodwitch: Not to mention lives that have been lost along through this maniac's genocidal campaign, whoever this person is they seem to have no pattern they just kill without thought or reason, how are we supposed to catch someone we can even identify.
Ozpin: Hm.
Goodwitch: Ozpin...don't.
Ozpin: They have to learn to face dangerous people as well as the Grimm.
Goodwitch: Did you forget about the twelve hunters and huntresses we sent after this psychopath and the fact we had to cover up their deaths from the media.
Ozpin: I remember.
Goodwitch: Then what makes you think sending the students would be a good idea!?
Ozpin: All the hunters and huntresses we sent all worked as individuals, but if we send in a team, then maybe...
Goodwitch: NO! Even if that could work no student would willingly accept a possible suicide mission.
Ozpin: *Sigh* You're right, but we can't keep that lunatic around or that the Grimm will overrun the city, and that will give Salem the opportunity to take the relic.
Goodwitch: Then what do you suggest we do?
Ozpin thinks for a moment.
Ozpin: Hmm, if we claim that a hunter killed him, that would reduce the panic of the populous, that would give us time to find the real killer.
Goodwitch: And if he kills again?
Ozpin: I would expect you to depose of the body before the word gets out.
Goodwitch: Ozpin, if we do this and we don't find him quickly then, many more people could die.
Ozpin: I know, but we can't have the Grimm here, you know what will happen if Salem gets the relic.
Goodwitch: Are you willing to risk the lives of everyone in the city to keep it from her?
Ozpin: Yes, I am, and you know it's the best course of action available to us at this moment.
Goodwitch: ...
The Next Day
Wakefield Asylum
Mess Hall
A mountain of rotting courses are piled up on top of each other, and in the center of the room, a deranged man is cutting open his latest victim.
C.K: ~Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles, and warm woolen mittens. *Giggles* Brown paper bags tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things, ah I love this song.
Radio: We interrupt this program for an important announcement, we have confirmation that an unnamed hunter has killed the 'Carnage Killer' a half-hour ago.
C.K.: Huh?
Radio: Ozpin says that the citizens of Vale will have to live in fear no longer.
*Click*
C.K.: Heh, Alright Ozpin, I'll play your little game, come and find me if you can.
He opens up his victim and starts looking at the origins with drooling eyes.
C.K.: Pancrious, lungs, eyes, oh so much time but so few snacks.
He licks his lips as he is about to feast.
Present Day
In the frozen lakes a red cyborg crawls back onto land and stands up, breaking the ice that formed over his metal frame.
Manticore: Vibranium, I unaware anyone other than Steve Rogers possessed any.
He activates his database.
Manticore: Only one metal is strong enough to combat Vibranium.
He pulls up multiple files on his projection hologram on his left arm.
Manticore: Access the Weapon-X program.
