RWBY: The Black Reaper

In team RWBY room, Blake was reading one of her books while Yang listening to music when Weiss stormed in with Ruby behind her.

" I still can't believe it. He is a sc.u.m ... NO! The worst of the sc.u.ms" Weiss screamed

" But you heard them, it wasn't his fault … Completely " Ruby tried to defend Mesa

" IT IS !!!" Weiss replied in anger

" What are you two talking about? " Yang asked. Blake continued to read in her book but was listening to Ruby

" Well ….. " Ruby started to recall what the saw and heard. At first Yang started laughing at Mesa's actions. However, once Ruby spoke about their relation and meeting circ.u.mstances, Yang stopped laughing while Blake dropped her book and stared at Ruby. The more Ruby talked the weirder Yang and Blake looks became.

" ….. And that's it " Ruby finished her story

" umm… eerr …. I'm not sure how to feel about it. From what you said, it seems Mesa was a reverse r.a.p.ed victim " Yang said with awkward face.

" I think he is just a perverted playboy. What was he doing in a bar in the first place. He is not old enough to enter a bar " Blake commented

" Playboy?? He is worse than that. He is a sc.u.m. After everything he did to my sister, he acted as if he was the victim and humiliated her " Weiss was angry for her sister

" Well, your sister is the one who assaulted him. So I think he is not at fault, not complete fault at least " Yang joined the defending camp with Ruby

" Do you believe anyone can force him to do anything? If he truly wanted, he could stopped the whole incident but he didn't " Blake joined the condemning camp

"Yes!! He made use of my sister drunken state. Beside he admitted stealing from Atlas military, he stole a very important and expensive metal " Weiss said

" In a way, he is worse than the current White Fang " Blake added

" But he was drunk like your sister, you can't blame him. Also, your White Fang steal and kill the innocents, Mesa only stole. It is wrong but you can't compare them "

" Can't compare them? HE KILLED MANY PEOPLE AND CAUSED TENS OTHERS TO DIE BY HIS WORDS!! HE IS A VILLIAN, HE IS WORSE THE ROMAN " Blake was shouting at the end

" HE KILLED TERRORISTS NOT THE INNOCENTS " Yang defended fiercely as her eyes turned red

" STOP!! " It was Ruby turn to scream. The other three looked at her, Ruby was tearing as she said " We are a team, we shouldn't be fighting like this. Mesa made mistakes and a lot of them, but he similarly did good deeds, he protected us and helped us in time of need. He is our friend, and it is our job to help him be a better person. Blake you alway defend The White Fang saying they are misguided and oppressed, but did you think what Mesa has to go through to become like this? You heard him talking about his brothers, he had to go through a lot of hardsh.i.p.s. Weiss, you are blaming him for something your sister initiated, both of them in wrong, you should help them fix their mistakes "

The three girls looked at each other, Yang was the first to speak " Look! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. But I let the anger take control of me "

Blake smiled at her " I'm sorry too ". She then hugged Yang. The two looked at Weiss who in return scowled a little before saying " Okay, I'm sorry "

Ruby laughed and jumped hugging Weiss. The four girls hugged each other, Yang suddenly spoke " Wait!! What about Pyrrha? Does she know? "

The girls froze. Ruby asked " Pyrrha broke up with Mesa. This shouldn't be a problem right ?"

Weiss answered " Mesa broke up with her to be exact and it will be a problem. Pyrrha always having a sad look when she look at Mesa. She still have hope to be with Mesa again, but that bastard is like dense log, he haven't even spared her a look the whole time"

Blake replied " When I look at him, I wonder if he is just that kind of sc.u.m or is he to dense to notice Pyrrha. But I believe it's the former "

Yang added " I think it's his way to show his anger. I don't prove it, but I'm not sure how to react to it. So I just hoped everything will turn right on it's own "

Ruby asked again " What should we do then ? Should we tell her ?"

Blake answered " We should to. She shouldn't be left in the dark regarding this. The longer the worse it will get. I doubt Mesa will ever say anything and if he did, he will probably do it bluntly without any care "

" Let's tell her, but try to put it nicely. We don't want to hurt her " Yang said

" no matter how you put it, it will be hard for her " Blake said

The 4 girls felt sorry for their spartan friends

In Ozpin's office, Ozpin just finished telling Qrow about Mesa and his deeds. Qrow kept laughing " No offense Oz, but a child made you look like a complete clumsy headmaster "

Ozpin replied " I wouldn't count him as a child. Mesa is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. I know he doesn't like me for some reason and he will use any chance he get to annoy me. I'm fine with it as long as he doesn't decide to join the queen. The queen will do anything to get him or any of his brothers to work for her "

Qrow turned serious upon hearing Ozpin mentioning the queen " Do you think he will join her? "

Ozpin replied " It is possible, Mesa is an unstable factor. I won't be surprised if he suddenly decided to join her or if he joined us. He does what he want regardless of term of evil and good. In my opinion, the reason Mesa still her in Beacon is his adoptive sisters. He might have bonded with his team, but he doesn't view them in great importance like Ruby and Yang. When Mesa wanted to kill me, it was Ruby who stopped him and only by words. When Mesa killed people, it was because Ruby and Yang got involved in something he considered dangerous, he even broke with his girlfriend as result and didn't show remorse, guilt or sadness. That kind of personality is really dangerous. If he thought joining the queen is fun, he might join her. He will avoid any actions which will harm Ruby and Yang. But he won't hesitate much about killing and harming anyone else. Mesa doesn't have a moral restrictions and that's why I'm worried "

" So you are avoiding angering him by receiving all of his pranks and insults with lowered head so he won't be pushed toward the queen or take the least interest in her side. And my two nieces are your ticket to keep Mesa in check. I don't like this Oz, you are using Yang and Ruby, it might be indirect but it is still using " Qrow didn't like Ozpin way of handling Mesa

" True, but I don't wish to use them. Just by being here, they are doing a good deed. I will not inform them about anything if it is not absolutely necessary. Beside with Mesa around, do you believe anyone can harm them? Mesa will probably kill any threat from a mile away " Ozpin assured Qrow

" I hope you are right. Also, I would like to meet this Centos or whatever Reaper he calls himself. He gave my nieces quite the trauma and I want to give him some pay back " Qrow waved his fist

Ozpin shook his head " Try to avoid him as much as possible. Don't engage with that guy in fights. He is assumably as strong as Mesa, but deadlier and more bloodthirsty. I didn't tell you this before. But Glynda was there when they encountered him, Glynda couldn't fight back at all. She called him a monster, if not for Mesa's arrival. Glynda and all the student would have been killed. " Ozpin clenched his fist remembering Glynda description of Centos

Ozpin closed his eyes before he continued " The worst part, there is a third monster who is capable to brainwash and manipulate people to a terrifying degree. Mesa said they don't have a way to contact each other, but I'm sure he is lying. These three are in contact and know each other moves. I'm sure they have some kind of mutual understanding to not intervene with each other actions. This is the point that scares me the most, if these three work together, what could we do against them?"

Qrow drank wine from his flask then said " So Mesa is basically the reason why the other two didn't come here or cause major trouble in Vale? "

Ozpin nodded and said " I hoped that as long as Mesa is here, The other two won't join the queen side. However, I have a feeling that we are missing something regarding this whole mess "

Qrow nodded in understanding, when the door opened. Glynda walked in alongside Ironwood. Qrow asked Ironwood " How is the ice bride ?"

James replied " I have no time for your untasty and imm.a.t.u.r.e jokes Qrow "

Ozpin sighed " I hope miss Schnee is okay? "

Qrow commented " You mean lady Uchiha " which earned him angry glares from Glynda and Ironwood. Ironwood said " She is okay "

Ozpin nodded and continued " Regarding the festival security …."

In the same room, Mesa was leaning to the wall and listening to the discussion. He was using his << Limbo Hengoku >> to avoid Detection.

Mesa thought [ They are really stupid. The security filled with holes and distribution of soldiers and huntsmen make the response ineffective and slow. And how come they forgot about the control tower incident. Someone sneaked into a prohibited and secure location. Shouldn't they wonder why? Seriously, it is a f.u.c.k.i.n.g control location, it was in the f.u.c.k.i.n.g name… Central Control Tower. How come they didn't consider the possibility of being hacked? No wonder Beacon fell in the show. They are the rivals of the monkeys in the intelligence department ]

Mesa continued to listen and insult them in his mind

In NPR portion room, Team RWBY sat in front of NPR portion.

" Are you guys okay? You have been sitting like this for 5 minutes " Pyrrha asked with a concerned voice

" We are not sure how to start this. It is about Mesa " Yang said awkwardly

" About Mesa ?? " Pyrrha / Nora / Ren

Now that they sat in front of them, team RWBY understood it wasn't as easy as they believe it to be. They didn't know how to start talking. They needed to think more thoroughly

" Today, my sister arrived to Vale and she met Mesa. It turned out the two knew each other from before " Weiss said

" So? " Ren was confused, so were the other two

Weiss continued " A little over a year ago, Mesa met my sister in a bar in one of the hotels. They got drunk together and …. They went to one of the rooms and did the deed between men and women "

Weiss face was red by this point. The three were shocked especially Pyrrha, she knew she wasn't Mesa's first but she didn't expect it to be Weiss's sister. Pyrrha thoughts were correct if one didn't count Mesa's previous life.

Weiss collected herself and dropped the bomb " During that night, My sister forced Mesa to sign Marriage forms. They are basically married "

Pyrrha's eyes widened, she felt her heart stop beating. She sutterted " M-Marr..ied ?"

Weiss replied " Yes "

Pyrrha felt like something stabbed her heart, she felt pain and sadness. She thought back to every action Mesa did with her. He dated her, when she got angry with him. He broke up immediately without hesitation. He obviously didn't show any remorse or care about her later. She thought he is taking revenge on her, she thought there was a hope to fix what her words broke, but now? he didn't love her from the very beginning, there was nothing to fix from the very beginning. He considered her as a toy for his enjoyment, a toy he disregarded once disobeyed him.

Pyrrha was loyal and generous, she would put her friends needs ahead of her. When she fell in love, she gave her all for her lover. Only to find she was being used and tricked. She didn't hate Mesa for tricking her, but she hated herself to allow her feelings to guide her like this.

The first person she loved turned out to be a perverted psycho. The second one is a lier and sc.u.m. The more Pyrrha thought about her life the colder her heart become. Maybe she was meant to be alone for the entirety of her life.

" Pyrrha, you okay? " Nora's voice woke up Pyrrha from her thoughts

" Y-Yes, I'm okay …. Sorry, I would like to stay alone for a while " Pyrrha said then left the room

Her friends felt sad for her. She didn't deserve to suffer like this. Yang eyes turned red as she said " Now, I feel like beating the shit out of Mesa "

Nora added " I want to break the bastard legs "

The rest didn't comment on this but their thoughts were similar.
