Banesaw 6

>Things had been rough since leaving the White Fang
>Food was scarce, supplies were running low, and morale was nearly non-existent
>He had to do something to turn their fortunes around, but what?
>"Sir."
>He turned to see one of the eleven that had joined him
>"Yes?"
>"We've been sent a transmission requesting your presence at this location tonight. We don't know who it's from or how it got here."
>"Let me see it."
>He looked at the scroll the Faunus handed him
>Sure enough, there was no way of knowing who sent this, or why
>Maybe this is what he was looking for though
>"Tell the Captain's they're in charge. I'll go check this out myself."
>"Yes sir."
>The Faunus saluted before going off to inform his three superiors
>He turned and grabbed his chainsaw before slinging it on his back
>He looked at the mirror and saw his face the first time in what seemed like an eternity
>Since defecting from the White Fang, he stopped wearing his mask, but for this, he probably should
>He grabbed the mask off the counter and turned to leave
>He found the meeting spot just after the sun went down
>It was in an alley near the wall where the breach happened
>Most people had relocated further into Vale, so the area was basically deserted
>It was the perfect spot for a couple of wanted individuals to meet
>He stood in the alley and waited for what seemed like forever
>Thinking he felt a presence, he turned around
>There she was, standing at the end of the alley
>What was her name?
>Neo or something
>"So, it was you. What do you want?"
>She smiled at him, tilting her head slightly
>"... You want me to free Torchwick?"
>Her eyes, did they just change color?
>"What's in it for us? We're not with the White Fang anymore, so we don't take orders from you."
>He thought for a moment
>It was a tempting offer, enough supplies, food, and cash to last them well over a year
>"Alright. Fine. You don't have to beg. But. I want half of our payment right away."
>She grins before shattering
>He never understood what this girl's deal was
>Turning to leave, he stopped in his tracks
>There it was; crates of supplies and food, briefcases of cash
>Leave it to her
>He sat crouched on a hill overlooking an SDC refueling station in the Forever Fall Forest
>With him was his female captains and two other Faunus
>The other two captains had their own squads on two other hills around the base
>If their intel was correct, the Atlesian ship carrying Roman Torchwick was scheduled to land here any minute now
>Sure enough, the sound of the ship soon filled the skies
>He gave a signal as the transport came into view
>He looked through a pair of binoculars as the ship begins to land
>He looks around, then focuses on a door that opens
>Is that that Schnee bitch?
>Why was she here?
>His question was soon answered as Ironwood exits the ship and walks over to her
>They go inside as workers run about, hooking up fuel lines
>He gives the signal, and the three groups converge on the station
>The Faunus sneak through the forest before slowly moving through the station
>Workers find themselves looking down at blood seeping from their throats before they get dragged back to the forest
>After a few moments, the Faunus reemerge from the forest, dressed as the SDC workers
>They move through the station and board the transport
>Once on board, they quickly move through the hold, one of the Faunus plugging his scroll into a control panel
>"How long?"
>"10 seconds."
>The tension was thick as the group slowly spread out, though staying within earshot of each other
>"Main hold, cell 3A."
>He gave a signal and the two other teams made their way to the main hold
>His squad was staying behind to hold the door
>He wasn't sure when Ironwood would be back, or if that Schnee would be with him
>"You look nervous.. Sir.."
>He smiled softly to the Faunus
>"Excited is a better word."
>Oh how he'd love to fight that white bitch again
>This time, she wouldn't be as lucky to escape him
>His wish appeared to be granted, as the door to the complex slid open
>There she was, standing next to Ironwood
>He takes his chainsaw off his back and looks at his  captain then the other two Faunus
>"Keep Ironwood busy. You protect him. Don't lose connection. We need to keep the ship grounded until they get Torchwick."
>The Faunus nod as the general and Huntress begin approaching the ship, flanked by a pair of SDC guards
>Weiss draws her sword, noting a lack of workers refueling the ship
>"Something wrong?"
>"The workers are gone. Something's up."
>She flips backwards just as he lands in front of where she was, his chainsaw tearing into the ground where she just stood
>"You again!"
>She starts making a glyph, but he quickly closes the distance and swings his chainsaw at her
>His quick attack forces her to stop and block it with her sword
>The two SDC guards raise their weapons only to get quickly put down by the two Faunus
>One of them hangs back on the ship while the other jump in front of Ironwood, holding a sword between them
>"You're not going anywhere."
>Weiss quickly attempts a series of rapid stabs, but he lifts his chainsaw and blocks them easily
>He slashes his massive blade, sending her rapier aside before he quickly punches her stomach
>The force of the punch sends her skidding backwards and she loses her balance, falling over
>He quickly lunges, bringing his chainsaw down where she lay
>Narrowly rolling to the side, she stands just in time to duck and avoid getting decapitated by the spinning blade
>She flips backwards, landing softly and makes a glyph before he could react
>He moves to attack her, but finds himself frozen in place by her semblance
>She aims her sword at his neck and slides forward using her glyph, aiming to end his life
>An explosion occurs just in front of Weiss, forcing her to stop her attack
>Both of them turn to see Roman standing at the ship's exit, holding his cane pointed at her
>Neo was next to him
>Now how the hell did she get here?
>No matter
>The distraction was enough to free him from her magic, and he moved to bring his chainsaw down on her head when he heard a scream
>He turned just in time to see his captain get sent into a pile of crates near the refueling station's pump
>Ironwood was closing in on her, a wicked grin plastered on his face
>He broke away from his fight and charged him
>So caught up in his victory, the general didn't anticipate the tackle that sent him to the ground
>They two landed with a slam, and Ironwood didn't have time to gather himself before a fist came smashing into his face, knocking him out
>"Well, this is all good and well, but I suggest we get moving before their friends arrive."
>He turned to the source of the words only to find that Roman was watching him carefully
>He nodded, giving the hand signal the Faunus had been waiting for
>The quickly began their retreat into the forest, Roman and Neo with them
>He quickly moved over to the crates and lifted his captain onto his back, carrying his chainsaw with one hand as he made his escape
>Weiss quickly went over to Ironwood
>Thankfully, there would be no chase today
