RWBY: Path Of Blood 17 Chapter 16: You Really Piss Me Off Part 1

He was exhausted by the ineffectual fight of terrorizing the p.a.w.ns of Giants.

Character is revealed through choice. Who would he blame for all the suffering he saw throughout his countless battles... A thief?, A murderer? or the World leader... This one decision reveals true motive. Ask yourself on that self serving dark ledge you stand upon... Who would you kill?

Haruki looked at the pale moonlight... It was finally time to confront Team RWBY on that warehouse. So he sent a message to Blake, saying that they need to prevent Roman Torchwick from shipping the dust. She needs to go with her whole team. He said that he won't let any of them get hurt.

He also reported to Ozpin on what's about to go down. He told him that let him handle this... that none of them would get hurt... that bad.

Neo was worried about Roman but she knew Roman was too far gone the road... But she wanted him to be safe at least. so it's better if he gets arrested instead. (Be safe Haru... and please don't be reckless...) Haruki patted her in the head... "Don't worry Neo you are needed elsewhere... and besides Romans not that weak, he can handle himself."

Haruki arrived at the warehouse... Roman exasperatedly looked at Haruki. "Must be nice all you had to do is sit on your a.s.s all night... while I do the heavy lifting..." Haruki shrugs his shoulders. "I got stabbed for f.u.c.ks sake, while you and your boys ran, I staggered as I returned back to beacon." Roman then lights his cigar and says. "Suck it up princess... Put on your work face, this is the second to the last shipment of dust we had to send back to her..." Haruki leaned on a container looking at the roof he saw Team RWBY on the roof.

Back at Beacon before they went to The warehouse... Blake told the others about the ma.s.sive shipment Romans about to do. Yang asked her where she got the info... "An informant... don't worry we can trust him." Weiss dubiously looked at Blake and said "Is he part of the white fang?" Blake shook her head. Weiss then stood up. "Let's go... After all my father's dust shipments is on the line... I will help you Blake." The four agreed to sneak out tonight and go investigate the warehouse. "Ruby , what are you looking so serious for?" Yang asked. "I think the guy who beat us will be there..."

When they arrived they saw Haruki in his disguise leaning on a container. "Is he the guy?" Weiss asked as she observed Haruki. "He looks quite strong." Yang added "I really can't wait to battle him."

Yang jumped down. "Hey! I heard you did a number on my sister..." Still leaning on the container Haruki spoke. "Well me and Red have a complicated history..." Blake stopped Yang and whispered "What are you doing he's the informant!" Yang then answered back. "I know I just want to test his skills." Weiss face palmed for they have now been discovered by Roman and co. "Great job Yang... Way to go blow our cover..." Weiss said, clearly exasperated.

"Well if it isn't red and friends! You young gals sure are hard to kill!" Roman appeared praising their bravery. "You girls clearly don't know what your doing." He then looked at the white fang members. "Kill them..." Blake then removed her ribbon and shouted. "Wait! Brothers of the white fang, Why are you working for this kind of sc.u.m!?" Roman laughed "you again little missy... *Sigh Didn't you get the memo? Me and the white fang are going in on a joint business..." Blake then pointed a sword at Roman. "Tell me where is Adam... or I'll put an end into your little operation." Then someone from the top of the containers spoke... "I wouldn't exactly call it little."

The shadowy figure jumped down and revealed himself to be Adam Taurus. "How have you been, my love?" Blake was shocked for Adam was really here... she looked at Haruki for help, but he was just as shocked as she was. "What are you doing here!? Do you really think this is the way things are done?" Adam shrugs. "Well, I found out that working with these guys is the most beneficial to our cause..." Blake then said "Are you joking?" Adam unsheathed his blade and asked "Is it funny?" Blake angrily told him "When I signed up to the white fang, it was different... you were different... do you even remember those days?"

Adam then slashed towards Blake but Ruby and Weiss both blocked him. "This is how it's supposed to be Blake... Humans need to fear us! The revolution won't be stopped!" Haruki then unsheathed his sword, Adam looked at him and said "Don't join in... I can handle this myself." Haruki then ordered the white fang to attack them.

As Team RWBY were fighting the white fang, Haruki then went near Adam and asked "What are you doing here? By showing up you're only making this more complicated..." Adam then drew his blade and pointed at Haruki "I told you not to interfere..." Haruki then said "I don't work for you..." Roman sensing that s.h.i.t's about to go down... "Uhh Haruki was just making this less complicated, so why don't we all calm down and focus on the mission?" But he was ignored by Adam and Haruki.

"You know Kaz... I always Hated your guts..." Haruki smirked "What a coincidence! I hate your self-righteous bulls.h.i.t kind of belief too." Adam charged towards Haruki slashing towards him. He parried all of Adams attacks softly so he wouldn't charge up wilt and blush. "What part of Humans are sc.u.m don't you get Kaz? Always spewing bulls.h.i.t that if you accept them they will accept us... " He was p.i.s.sed at Haruki for being such a hypocrite. "Didn't you kill your fair share of people?" Haruki sent a punch towards Adam hitting him square in the face. "There is a better way Adam!"

They both jumped up at the containers. Fighting under the pale moonlight. Haruki then said. "you may delude yourself into a more n.o.ble veneer, but you share one primary goal with humans... Survival." Adam kicked him in the stomach, and jumped up to slash downwards. "However, when in service to a greater cause, killing can be n.o.ble!" Haruki instantly refuted "Do you even hear yourself!?"

He Blocked another flurry of attacks and rolled towards Adam and tackled him. They both let go of their blades and started a fist fight. He landed a blow to Adams solar plexus, staggering him. Haruki then said... "It is a stark truth... Some people deserve to die... but when you take genocide into account, then what is the difference between you and the ones you are fighting against!?"

Adam then slowly stood up as he spit out blood. "The world respects those who can protect themselves." This angered Haruki even more, He saw his past self in adam... when he was fueled with rage and hatred towards humans... he never thought revenge could cost him so dearly... that's why he can't stand someone walking the same path he did. It never ends well. it only ends in tragedy and despair.

Hitting back, Adam told Haruki. "The only great thing about humans is their ability to know their own wretchedness..." The two slowly backed out of each other to pick up their weapons. "Though you might deny war... You cannot deny the benefits from it. HUMANS LOVE WAR!!!"

Adam slammed down his blade cutting the huge container in half, Haruki then slashed everywhere cutting up debris, using the debris as his platform. Adam then did the same clashing their swords as they moved from platform to platform...

"The greatest sin off all is that they don't even realize it! As they sit atop on their glorified authority thinking it's for the greater good... What the f.u.c.k about us!? do we just have to sit by? to get used like some common goods to fight for their meaningless wars!?"

Haruki then used lightning form and kicked adam to send him flying towards the middle of the fight between the white fang and Team RWBY...
