Hunter in the Wild

Chapter 13

First came that kid Russel, Crota had me sheath the knife then grab his fist out of the air and stare him down.  I twisted his arm as he stood there and he fell to one knee.  My body then released his hand and kicked him across the room.  Crota then focused on Sky Lark.  He tried to kick me, but Crota saw it coming.  He shade stepped out of the way and Sky stumbled due to the unexpected landing.  Crota rolled back towards him and tackled Sky.  During the roll, our arms had come around his torso.  So once we stood up we performed a near perfect suplex.

I smirked on the inside.  Two down, two left.

Dove was the next one to challenge us.  He and I were locked in a fist fight.  He threw a punch, I dodged.  I threw one and he countered it.  It was an even fight… until Crota had had his fun.  He kicked Dove’s legs out from under him and he went down.  On the way down Crota punched him downward, causing the floor to crack.  He then kicked him into the pile that held the other two.

Finally, Cardin was the only one left standing from the original four.

Crota didn't move.  Our breathing was steady.  The crowd had now formed a ring around us, creating a makeshift arena.  Cardin was trying to figure out what to do, Crota remained still.  I remained still.

“Crota,” I said in our head.

“Yes Guardian?” he replied.

“Let me take this one, just give me strength.”

“As you wish, relinquishing control now.”

I felt my weight return to my consciousness.  I cracked my knuckles and popped my neck.  They felt stiff, but weren't.

“What are you waiting for?” I asked.  “Scared?”

“No,” Cardin replied.

I let out an evil smirk and looked him dead in the eyes “You should be.”

I then charged him, tackling him and pinning him to the ground.  I maneuvered on one of my hands and put my knees to his shoulders.  Pinning him completely, I took my knife out and raised it up.  There was fear in his eyes.  I brought it down with full force.  It struck right above his shoulder.  Not even a centimeter away.

“Now I want you to listen good,” I whispered “You will not touch her again.  If you do, it will be to pat her on the back for a job well done.  If I find out you bully her again.  I will cut off your manhood.  Am I clear?”

He nodded frantically.

I smirked and pulled the knife out of the ground.  After sliding it into the sheath I punched him in the face.  Would have left a bruise would it not had been for his Aura.

I then stood up and looked around.  Everyone was in awe, except for Noah.  He was relieved.

The crowd started to fan out and Blake appeared next to me.

“That was really nice,” she said putting an arm around me “What you did for Velvet.”

I smirked and ruffled her hair “just what a Guardian does.”

She smiled and shook her head.  I then felt my Scroll vibrate.  I pulled it out and noticed I had a message from Glynda.  It read “Ozpin’s office.  NOW!”

I sighed and looked at Blake.  “I'll be back, probably gonna get yelled at.”

“Don't do something stupid,” was her reply with a peck on the cheek.

I smiled, nodded, and was off.  I made quick work of getting there, didn't wanna piss them off any more than they already were.  When the elevator reached the top, it opened immediately, revealing Glynda and Ozpin looking out of the window.  I stepped in and Glynda faced me.
