NEGOTIATIONS HAVE FAILED Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Menagerie: Kuo Kuana, Chieftain's House
A hour has passed, since Serafall, she started...negotiating...with the Chieftain of Kuo Kuana, Ghira Belladonna. And one of the higher ranking, representives of the White Fang, Adam Taurus. To say that the whole discussion, between these leaders was a joke, is to describe it mildly. Adam was challenging and aggressive in every turn. While Ghira was passive-aggressive, uncooperative, and clearly stubborn in his desire to get either the devils to stop with their actions on Menagerie... Or leave the island, now small continent. Kali, she'd tried to calm her husband, but Adam clear animosity and anger, didn't make things better for anyone. Serafall, she'd honestly felt sorry for Kali, as the cat faunus woman, she seems quite lovely in personality. But then in around 45th minute mark. Adam, he started insulting not only Ghira for being a cowardly traitor, but also did so to the devils present. He started adding his own hateful views, on humans and desires for bloody massacre, shine. Laharl and Serafall couldn't understand how a sweet, cool girl like Blake, ever got mixed with such a asshole. Laharl, he really likes that Adam's fate, ultimately ends in death. By Blake and her soon to be canon girlfriend, Yang Xiao Long. Regardless on what happens, Laharl, he'll make sure those two have a great future.
At the end. Once the meeting hit one hour, in the exact time. Both Serafall and Laharl have had enough. Serafall, she'd unleashed a cold aura of magic. As her power silenced the two men. She'd suggested to finish this argument, with a three-way match, between them and Laharl. Let them settle this, with the stronger of the three faction representatives, fighting it out. While Serafall is a good negotiator, she'd knew that there are times that action was needed, over words. And negotiate needs discussion not "children" throwing tantrums. Serafall even said all of this out loud, in a serious and calm manner. And as much as Kali wanted to defend her husband, Miss Leviathan was right about, what she'd said. Laharl, was okay beating these idiots, this also gave him a opportunity to "test" something. He returned Ghira his claws, and Adam, his katana with a rifle sheath. The three men went outside. Everyone was informed that everything will be settled in a three-way match between them. Standing in a triangular formation, able to see their opponents clearly. As they waited for someone else to signal the match to begin.
FACING OFF WITH THE FORMER HIGH LEADER & MAD BULL Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Menagerie: Kuo Kuana, Front of the Chieftain's House
Serafall, she'd decided to state some rules. Aside from fatalities, all is allowed with exception of outside interference. As Raven, she made a special magical barrier, preventing anyone from interfering with the match. Laharl called fort, his Vritra Zanbato, the appearance of a massive sword with gold edge, manifesting from purple flames and golden aura. Even behind the barrier, all the non-devils and prinnies, could feel a powerful, repressing force. Both Ghira and Adam could easily tell, that sword...whatever it is, it was dangerous, as Laharl got into his usual stance. Nero standing there, in a serious but smiling look, with her arms cross, she spoke, "This is a surprise. (Earning all that didn't knew Laharl, attention.) Praetor. He isn't in his usual, playing mood. Whichever made him mad, their good as dead, Umu." this caused worry for Kali and Blake, hoping Ghira wasn't going to be seriously hurt. Serafall, she chopped her right hand down, announcing the match to begin!! Before Ghira or Laharl moved, Adam struck first. Gripping his Wilt and in a iojutsu stance. He'd aimed at Laharl, but before he could draw his katana, for a quick draw slash at Laharl, the biggest threat... Adam, lost feeling in his right arm. Then pain surged through him, but before Adam could scream, cause Laharl, he used Blade Rush and cut off, and cartorized Adam's right arm. Obviously bypassing Adam's aura, with magic. Quickly following it up, by wrapping his scarf around Adam's neck.
Laharl, turned to Ghira and rushed in. Dragging a choking Adam by the neck, spinning Laharl tossed Adam with a powerful whiplash. Smashing the one-arm, bull faunus onto Ghira. Blasting both faunus, against the barrier's side. Ghira, he wasn't badly harmed, his aura tanked the blow from Laharl, tossing Adam at him. Ghira, threw the badly injured Adam off of him. Only when he'd stood back up, he was punched by Laharl. Shattering his aura, as Ghira was smashed against the barrier again, by Laharl's punch. Then Laharl spread, and stretched out, and wrap around both faunas. As Laharl said with a smirk, "This beatdown, is only starting." Laharl started to smash both faunus, into the barrier over and over. While everyone from either Adam or Ghira's side, watched in worry. As their leaders, are being utterly dominated, and beaten without mercy. Both faunus, are unquestionably the strongest in their individual group. But Laharl was showing that he is stronger, faster, and quite obviously more brutal than Ghira, or Adam.
As Laharl, he tossed away Adam at the other side of the barrier. He started focusing on Ghira now. Since Ghira is a idiot, that only after a huge amount of destruction, and disarray in the faunus, did he started to do anything. So it was better to beat this panther faunus, until he'd submits. Using Vritra Zanbato, to not only cause the most damage, but test if, someone is extensively hit by Vritra Zanbato. Would his dragons, devour the aura of a huntsman. So he used a few stacks of Flare-Up, causing his sword to ignite in greater amounts of cursed flames. As he slashed...lightly...Ghira, even when the Chieftain of Kuo Kuana, tried to fight back or guard. Ghira felt that his very soul was being burned. Then Laharl sweep his legs off the ground, and as he'd smashed onto the ground, Laharl stabbed him on the leg. Making Ghira scream in pain!! As Kali tried to rush over to her husband, but the barrier kept her out. Crying, as Laharl end his brutal assault, by stabbing Ghira in the shoulder. Allowing Vritra, Orochi, and Shenron to drain and consume the aura on a physical level, and not a spiritual sense.
Powerless and getting weaker by the passing moment. Ghira felt his aura and semblance, fade from him. Once Laharl sensed that Orochi, Shenron, and Vritra were satisfied, he pulled out Vritra Zanbato out of Ghira's shoulder. As the panther faunus was fully defeated and broken. Ghira, he felt it. Laharl, started to tell Ghira he is a embarrassment to warriors and protectors. His fear and tiredness over conflict, damned so many, his daughter amongst them. Cause of this Laharl, he'd took Ghira's power, and told him, "Don't interfere with things that aren't your business. Especially when you're a waste of space...and stop making you're family, suffer from your stubborness." Leaving Ghira there, pondering Laharl cruel...but truthful words. At the end. Laharl walked over to a barely conscious Adam Taurus. Once he was over the one-arm bull faunus, he stabbed his massive sword onto the back of Adam. Not deep enough to be fatal, but deep enough to sever the spine of Adam. Adam, he first felt a surge of pain, and then nothing...he couldn't move or feel anything from his body. Not even feeling his aura and semblance, being drained away from his body. Making Adam a cripple, and utterly weak. Once Vritra Zanbato completely drain everything from Adam, but that was still not enough.
As the last bit of power was devour by the Black Heavenly Dragon, Vritra Shenron no Orochi. Laharl, he'd used devil mind magic on Adam. With no magic, or in tact will, or strength to defense himself. Since Laharl, he didn't really knew if aura, protected from mental intrusions and alterations, it was better to strike, when this Mad Bull was utterly defenseless. As he'd made Adam confess everything, and more. At the moment that Laharl, pulled out Vritra Zanbato from Adam, he'd asked, "Hey bull boy. What were your plans for Neohaven and the White Fang, as a whole?" And Adam, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He'd confessed to many, many crimes. From instigating riots, false attacks, and reports of faunus abuse, only so he'd could satiate his need for blood. If things didn't turn in the favor of war or at least faunus victory, he'd would sacrifice or kill everyone. Including the weakest faunus, to fulfill his revenge. Which includes, all his followers, Neohaven, and even the High Leader if she'd proved to weak as well. When everyone, heard this...they were shocked, disgusted, and filled with hatred toward the bastard. Especially Blake. All the things, she'd once saw in Adam were lies, he was a monster, worst than any xenophobic bastard in Remnant!! Laharl rested his massive sword over his shoulder, walk over Adam and kicked him over to the White Fangs. Laharl, ordered them to leave. Taking Adam with them, but also tell Sienna Khan that if she'd wanted to talk with them, all she'd needed was to wait for Groudon to merge Menagerie with Anima. This shocked everyone, apart from the devils, as this was the next part of the Remnant colonization. The White Fang grunts, bowed to Laharl. And they picked up the broken, and crippled Adam, leaving to report to High Leader. Plus a certain chameleon girl, heard everything, and left to report first...
ADAM'S FATE Location the Anima, White Fang Main Headquarters: Throne Room
Days later. After Adam and Ghira were utterly dethrone and crushed by Laharl. Adam crippled, and basically condemned to eternal imprisonment, after Laharl used his magic to make Adam confess all his dark thoughts, ambitions, and madness. From Ilia report to Sienna Khan, to say that bengal tiger faunus, was enraged was putting things mildly. While she was impressed with the power of this young Laharl. She'd even smirked with a "special" look on her face, like a feral hunger... At least Laharl and this Serafall were opposed to negotiations, especially after all the damage that Adam caused. Speaking of the cripple bull. He was strapped to a chair, to keep him semi on his "feet". And just as Laharl promised, Adam he'd revealed everything. Sienna, she was angry. This bastard, who was quite possibly one of the most renowned, and most likely to ascend to higher position on the White Fang. Has cause irrefutable damage to their people. He'd revealed that he has killed, many faunus that have taken human partners, or birthed halfbloods, he has left small towns to suffer either bandit or grimm attacks, in order to instigate that faunus to join the White Fang. While their group welcomes all that wished to fight, they never would slaughter so many innocents. Even now. Many of Adam's former followers, were victims of his crimes. Losing a precious love one, and believing it was the humans fault. When reality it was vengeance obsessed monster.
Sienna Khan's judgement was swift. She'd believed that death was too good for this...beast!! He is too be punished, painfully and all his crimes revealed to their people. Plus his plans to join with some "fire witch" were abolished. As Adam, he'd admits that this woman, called Cinder. She'd would bring calamity, and major blowback on the white fang. So Sienna order all contact with this group to be ceased, and all Vale operatives and cells to return at once!! Everyone in the throne room, kneeled and did as she'd commanded. Taking the prisoner with them, as they left. That will be the last that Adam would ever be heard. Now alone. Sienna Khan, she'd thought of the other promise. That the Guardian Beast, Groudon will create more land, and united the two major continents of faunus kind into one. This was exciting, the future for their people was great, and prosperous. Her rule was secure, and a traitor revealed. So for now she'll try to secure Anima, pushing back their enemies and grimm. While relocating faunus into their land, this is all in preparation for when Neohaven joins the land with Menagerie. Their technology, would turn this nearly desolate desert, into a luscious oasis. Plus eliminate the grimm permanently. Already all the grimm at the southern, coastal regions of Anima were being taken out by drones, walkers, and even some peg-legged penguins, as that Sienna believes are called prinnies. She heard that some ports were being built, at that location. Making her quite joyful, along with benefitting all their brothers and sisters. She'd laughed in joy and excitement, eager to see what these devils do next.
