Chapter 7

Beacon, Ozpin POV

I found out yesterday that y/n had gone neutral when team RWBY rushed into my office and reported their encounter with the White Fang. At least he didn't join Salem but he could be a major threat to my plans. What to do... What to do... so much wasted potential. I then take a sip out of my bottomless coffee mug.

y/n POV

It seems like the brutal slaughter at the White Fang warehouse made it onto the news, it seems like nobody knows who did it, good for me then. I have learnt more about the speaking style of this new world so people won't be as suspicious, but I am sure if Ozpin wanted to, he could just frame me for something I didn't do or just report that it was me who murdered the White Fang recruits. I also need a place to stay but I don't have any money, guess I should become a mercenary of some sort to earn money. Maybe this 'Junior's Bar' can help me find contracts...

3rd person POV

y/n walks past the goon at the front of the bar without any trouble. As he enters the bar, everyone turns and look and him because of his unique attire. y/n then proceeds to sit at the counter, ordering a drink even though he can't get drunk because he's undead. A man in a suit with a red tie gives him a drink.

???:"I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

y/n:"Yes."

???:"Well, I'm Junior, the owner of the bar. Nice to meet you."

y/n:"Likewise."

Junior:"Your clothing choices certainly are... interesting."

y/n:"I'll take that as a compliment."

...

y/n:"I heard that you give out contracts to mercenaries."

Junior:"Yes I do."

y/n:"Do you have any available?"

Junior:"Yes but I don't think you can handle it."

y/n:"I think you would find me very capable."

Junior:"I would like a demonstration of your power then."

y/n:"Fine."

Junior then leads y/n to the back of the bar and into a small arena with other mercenaries relaxing.

Junior:"Anyone in particular you want to fight?"

y/n POV

You extend your senses and search for traces of the abyss on the mercenaries, fortunately, there seems to be one with heavy traces of the abyss. He has black armor that seems to have a lot of technology integrated in it and had a futuristic look. His whole body was covered in armor, however the joints were less protected. His helmet seems to have a large orange visor on it to help him analyze information. Seems like an easy foe although he does have a large arsenal of guns.

Junior:"Seems like your out of luck kid, he's the top mercenary here, you sure you want to fight him? By the way he only fights in death matches.

You nod. You then get into the arena and did your salute. Your opponent grabs his guns and walks into the arena. The crowd cheers for him loudly. You ignored the cheering and got ready while he turned off the safety on all his guns.

Junior:"Ready?"

You nod while your opponent shouts:"READY!"

Junior:"3,2,1,FIGHT!"

You dashed towards him but before you could attack he fired his gun at you, making you stop and slice apart the bullets. He then took out a handle that somehow turned into a glowing blue sword. Huh, weapons get weirder and weirder everyday. Our swords lock together, he then pulls out a pistol and shoot me, however I skillfully deflect the bullets with my dagger. I then did a back flip so the distance between us would be further. However, this will give the opponent an advantage since I do not have any long ranged weapons. I looked towards my dagger and got an idea. I aimed and threw the dagger at my opponent, he dodged the dagger but he failed to see me dashing towards him. I did a large horizontal slash at his less heavily armored abdomen. The Farron's Greatsword hit its mark but it only did a scratch to his armor. I was surprised by this. He then took out a newly loaded pistol and shot me in the head. I fell over on the ground, lifeless.

Junior:"Well, seems like our top mercenary had won again."

Everyone started to celebrate but was stopped when they heard some wind and fire. I smirked as I rose up from the dead. Everyone was surprised, even my opponent. I used this opportunity to dash towards him with my sword near the ground, he was caught off guard because my speed was much faster than before. A wall of flames then erupted from the ground where I was before, slightly burning my opponent. I thrust my sword towards my opponent's visor, the sword hit. For a moment, nothing happened, until a small crack was heard. His visor had cracks on it. I then proceed to put more force into my sword and the visor shattered, exposing my opponent's face. I then slash his face with my dagger and impale him with my sword. My sword came out of his back. I decided that his death should be more violent so I raised my sword up. Cutting and burning his lifeless body. The upper part of his body was sliced in half, I then did a large horizontal slash and detached his lower body, making him rest in pieces.

Junior:"W-winner is the kid."

Everyone looked at me in awe, nobody had ever defeated my opponent. I listened to some of the conversations, apparently he is called Master Chief. Huh? What a weird name. Whatever, he had traces of the abyss on him so he was eliminated. I still don't know why the abyss exists here too, in another dimension.

Junior:"So um what would you like to be called?"He said, obviously not recovered from the shock of the best mercenary dying and me coming back to life.

"Call us Abyss Watchers, Farron's Undead Legion."

Junior:"You want people to call you a multiple? Okay, I won't question it."

He then went to the ranking board and took down the banner of Master Chief and told his goons to make a banner of me and put it at first place when they finish it. 

I then take out my scroll and search for Master Chief, maybe there are bounties on his head. I found that the police department is offering 5 million lien for the capture of Master Chief, dead or alive. I then put his corpse in a body bag and dragged him all the way to the nearest police station. People were giving me weird looks and snickering at my hat. However I ignore them and continue dragging. It took a long time to reach the police station. Thank Artorias I was finally here, the armor is heavy as fuck! How does he even move in that. As i dragged the body bag inside the police station, the policemen inside all took out their firearms and pointed them at me, seeing how I am dragging a body bag. I raised both my hands.

"I'm here for Master Chief's bounty."

Policeman 1:"Where's the proof?"

I point to the body bag. They looked at each other and sent one of them to unzip the body bag. The officer vomited at the sight then fainted in a puddle of his vomit. Inside the bag was the 3 parts of Master Chief's corpse with the armor still on and organs falling out of the holes. The inside of the body bag is blood red and most of the body is charred.

"Now give me my money and I'll be on my way."

They then transferred the lien to my scroll. The news was going crazy about how the famous and ruthless mercenary Master Chief died by the hands of the Abyss Watchers, Farron's Undead Legion.

Meanwhile at Beacon

Ruby:"WHAT? HOW COULD SOMEONE DEFEAT MASTER CHIEF? HE'S LIKE SUPER STRONG AND STUFF!"

Weiss:"Calm down, why are you so surprised about a famous mercenary getting killed anyways, if anything it's one bad guy dead."

Blake:"Why does Farron's Undead Legion sound familiar? Where did we hear it before?"

Yang:"I'm sure it's nothing, we can figure it out later."
