RWBY: Fireborn

Chapter 13 - Dirty Deeds

Logan: "SIX FREAKING HOURS!" Logan shouted as he had finally cracked the Ice covered boulder and shaped the gemstone dust that was inside it.

The gemstone was a sapphire in shape, but its appearance was something out of this world. While similar in size to the 'Dragon's Fire', the sapphire was a cold beauty. The surface was an metallic icy blue sheen. Inside had an wolf standing while howling at the moon. Around it appeared to be an arctic mist blowing around it in a constant cycle, almost as if a snow-storm was raging around the wolf.

Logan: 'If it took this long for the ice, and five hours for the fire one... I'LL BE HERE FOR DAYS!....wait...System?'

{Yes, Host?}

Logan: 'Could I just take the boulders into my [Void Storage] and have you process them?'

{No. As they are too powerful for you to currently do that. Plus from my scanning, these would take at least several days to chip pieces off if Host could.}

Logan: 'Well, at least it was worth a shot. Now for a name for this one. Hmm, I gave 'Dragon's fire' its name due to its characteristics. This has a wolf, so... 'Fenrir's Heart' feels right. The wolf motif gives it a unparalleled look to other sapphires and complements the name. Next, lets go with the gravity one. I have a feeling that's going to be the hardest. System, please notify me if I come a crossed another, please.'

{Acknowledged}

Logan: 'Thank you. Now I believe it was east of here and not to far from a cave as well."

Logan walked east, away from a massive pile of ice that surrounded him. The time he spent chipping away at the boulder and ice was clear as day to see. As Logan walked, the valley was quite around him, as if not to disturb him as he walked. It was peaceful. Though soon it was disrupted by a ringing noise that came from Logan's pocket. Sighing, Logan took out his phone to see who it was.

Logan: "Hello, Dad. What's up?"

Azrael: "Logan! Hey, there was an incident at Kuo Kuana. I'm here with Sophia, Ghira, and Sienna. A few Faunus that had aligned with some smugglers tried to take quite a bit of weapons and supplies to the remains of the 'White Fang Terrorist Group'. The thing is, they were hired by Roman Torchwick. Problem is that they said that their broker was someone named... 'Kenny', most likely an alias. The broker will only deal with one of them personally. The rest have to deal with a middle man. We have the one that will deal with the broker face-to-face. The issue is that it's a kid."

Logan: "A kid?"

Azrael: "Yes, a kid. And the worst part? He's your age and can pass for you if the hair color was the same."

Logan: "Let me guess. You want me to pose as this kid and try to learn their plans. Anything else?"

Azrael: "Close, we need you to meet the broker and receive the payment. A team of the 'Black Fangs' will be waiting once you do. Afterwards, your job will be to help disable any and all guards the broker has with them. Then you are to come back. No more. No less. And no buts. Am I clear?"

Logan: "Mom right behind you?"

Azrael: "Logan, as mush as I trust you, not funny. Believe it or not, Sophia was the one who thought of this. Everyone was surprised when she did. After explaining her plan, needless to say we were surprised. It's feasible and will work without a hitch."

Logan: "Fine. I'll-"

[Mission Start!]

Azrael: "Logan?"

Logan: "Sorry, call you back in a bit. Bye"

[Mission: Defeat all Ursas in 5 minutes. Reward: Mystery Create] {Time Remaining: 4:55}

Logan: 'This will be quick.'

Logan took a glance at the bow in his hands and happily noticed that he could select which arrow he wanted to use from the game series. Selecting the air-burst heads, Logan drew the bow on low weight and fired into the crowd of Ursas. On impact, the arrow exploded and took out 5 with ease. Letting loose 4 more killed all but the Alpha Ursa. Logan then switched to the super-thermite and stuck an arrow to its head. Logan watched as the Ursa swung its arms in vain as it tried to swat away the arrow that was mysteriously beeping. After a louder then normal beep, the arrow exploded and took out half of the Ursa's body.

[Mission Clear! Time Remaining: 4:38] [Despising rewards]

As Logan wonder what the mystery create could contain, he remembered that he cut off his father mid-call. As he was wondering what to say to him so that he doesn't get annoyed, a wooden create appeared before him.

Logan: 'System, what is this?'

[Answer. The create before Host is the mystery create from the mission. Due to its nature, it can't be stored in Host's {Void Storage}. It then appeared before Host.]

Logan: 'Good to know. Next time any reward is like this, please wait until I'm alone to hand it out. I rather not have to explain this to anyone who sees it.'

[Acknowledged.]

Logan: 'Now, lets see what's so special about this create.'

Logan gingerly approach the create as if it were a bomb about to go off. After examining five of its sides carefully, Logan found nothing out of the ordinary with it. Shaking his head and sighing to himself, Logan said.

Logan: 'What am I doing? It's not like it will exploded on me is it?!?'

[....Most Likely....]

Logan: 'I'm gonna pretend that I didn't hear that message. Well, time to nut up or shut up.'

Logan took a step back from the create. Taking a strong step forward, Logan kicked the top of the create as hard as he could. The result was that the create broke like it belonged in a old game as it shattered with large chunks missing. Once the debris was settled, Logan received a notification.

[Congratulations Host for receiving the following: Black Orchid]

[Black Orchid: A unique nodachi with a smoky grey and black coloring. Average for a nodachi's length, it's unique feature is that when swung, a thin trail of smoke will be left in its wake. Practiced users can use this to their advantage when fighting more then one opponent. When aura is injected into the blade through the handle, a smoke cloud appears that only obscures those inside of it with the exception of the wielder.]

Logan: 'Huh.... Neat. Though I'm no weeb, I can appreciate a good blade. More over, its ability is very powerful. If used right, its perfect for a ȧssassin. Maybe I can give it to Blake? After all, she was once a ȧssassin before I changed the outcome of the 'White Fang'. With her semblance, this would support her immensely. Heck, if she practices her semblance more, she should be able to make a solid clone that can fight with her. Just like that orange kid from that one silly ninja anime.'

Logan: "Crap! Dad! I forgot about him!" Logan shouted to himself as he hurriedly called his father back. "... Hey dad! I'm back!

Azrael: "Logan!?! What happened?!"

Logan: "Sorry! An Ursa came from nowhere and attacked me. I had to cut the call due to its size and speed."

Azrael: "I see...*Sigh* Logan, do me a favor will ya? As much as I trust ya, please don't give me a heart -attack. I already have enough to worry about with Ava and Eva. Sophia was starting to freakout when you cut the call so suddenly. Ghira and Sienna trust ya enough to handle yourself if it involves Grimm, but Sophia, she worries for your safety."

Logan: "I know, and I'll try my best. But, the world is an unpredictable place. Who knows what it will throw at you or me?"

Azrael: "He he... You know, sometimes I wonder how old you truly are. At times you speak wise words, wise beyond your years."

Logan: "I'm about to be 11. All I did different was I listened to what is said. From there, I figured it out on my own. All I can say is, 'I am me and me alone, and I will follow my own path'."

From his scroll, Logan could hear a hearty, deep-bellied laugh coming from his father. Soon followed by a smacking sound. A smile slowly spread onto his face as he could hear his mother reprimanded his father for laughing without telling them what happened. Logan got a chuckle out of his parents behavior.

Logan: "I'll be there in a bit. I'll have to stop by a stream to get cleaned up somewhat. See you soon."

Azrael: "No problem I'll let them know. *Whisper* Just make sure that what you've found is hidden, okay? *Whisper*"

Logan: "Will do, bye."

Logan began to weave through the few trees that littered the valley. Soon breaking out of the valley with speed. Once Logan entered the woods that hid the valley, he began again to weave through the trees but at a faster rate, nearly to the point that one would loose track of him if they weren't on guard or watching. Left, Left, Right, Left. Logan moved as if he was being tailed by someone or thing. After travailing for a few minutes, Logan activated his [Aura Pulse] and disappeared. Quickly doubling back, Logan hid to see if what he saw was true. To see if one of the Branwen twins were glowing him.

Logan: 'If one of them are, what happens next depends on which one. If it's Raven, best to run away. I can't take her now, I'm far too weak. It it's Qrow, I might have a chance to talk with him. See if he knows about that Grimm Lord or not. And if I can, see if he could talk with Ozpin about admitting me once I leave Menagerie to do some 'WET Work'. I know that I'm gonna need to have Ozpin on my side if I want to change the outcome of this world.'

Logan waited for a few minutes even after his [Aura Pulse] wore off. Minutes ticked by as Logan waited in a bush, waiting to see if anyone was following him. Nearly 15 minutes past before Logan heard a rustle of a bush nearby. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, and one thought went through his head.

Logan: '....Shit....'

???: "Boo."

Logan: "Shit!"

Hey guys! Sorry about the late release, I was finishing the chapter up and hit save but didn't publish for some reason. Most likely due to be being tired from the working trip I was on. I'm sorry for that and hope you enjoy the chapter!
