Vader stood there as Adam let out a laugh.

Adam: Surrender?! To you?! Please! we have you outnumbered 100 to 1!

Vader: I like those odds.

Adam raised his hand and a white fang member stepped out from behind a tree. A large man about as tall as Vader walked towards him, revving a chainsaw in his hands.

The white fang brute stepped forward. Gripping the chainsaw in both hands, He scoffed and rested it on his shoulder.

Brute: It would be an honor to kill a huntsman.

The Brute moved slowly, still having the chainsaw on his shoulder. Vader smirked and called on the force, He reached out, and turned the chainsaw on.

The brute screamed in pain, trying to move it off his shoulder. Vader lifted his hand and moved the chain saw using the force, though it was much slower than a lightsaber, the chainsaw cut through the aura of the brute, and eventually, his flesh.

With one swift motion, Vader made the chainsaw slash through the body. The brute stopped screaming, his torso fell backward, while the rest of him fell forwards.

The chainsaw fell to the side, still running. Blood spewed everywhere from the separated brute, a few white fang members gasped at this while Vader merely scoffed.

Vader: I expected you to have more competent troops, but, I assumed wrong.

Adam scowled as Blake gasped and clutched her mouth, both Adam and Blake thought this man died due to his own incompetence, not because of Vader.

Adam quickly overcoming the carnage he just witnessed, he raised his arm signifying his men to attack.

Qrow Branwen perched on a tree far enough away where he wouldn't be harmed, but close enough where he could observe what was happening. Still in bird form, he watched as the mysterious man confronted the white fang leader.

Qrow watched in shock as the brute killed himself with his own chainsaw, but suspected fowl play.

As Qrow watched, each white fang member drew their weapons on the man, he debated jumping down to help, but decided against it. There were too many of them.

As Adam lowered his hand each white fang memeber opened fire, blasting their guns at the man, only for them to bounce off an invisible barrier.

Qrow was just as stunned as the ones firing the guns, each person lowered their guns trying to reload.

Vader: Fools.

Vader deactivated his lightsaber and clipped it back to his belt, calling on his emotions, he focused on the force, the nearby tree's rattling.

Vader let out a yell, as he used a move known as force maelstrom. Tree's circled around Vader smacking the white fang into the air being swept up in twister formed using the force.

Adam realizing the threat dashed backwards along with Blake, he felt the pull of the twister, reacting, he stabbed his blade into the dirt, trying not to fly into the rapidly growing twister. Blake tried the same move but her blade became unlatched, quickly thinking, Adam grabbed the whip holding onto Blake.

Red lighting flashed around the growing storm, frying the unlucky white fang members caught inside. The maelstrom reached such powers, the nearby train cars began creaking, several uncoupling and falling off the the rails. They began sliding towards the maelstrom before being lifted into the air.

Vader felt the power rushing through him before cutting the maelstrom all together. The twister disappearing.

Feeling the pull of the storm stop, Adam fell to the ground alongside Blake, he stood and removed the sword from the ground.

________________________________________________________________________________

Blake was angry, she didn't know why recently she began questioning the motives of the white fang, she wanted Faunus equality, but at what cost?

The only reason this man was provoked was that the white fang group of the surrounding area had captured girls and were using them as playthings, for all they know, it could have been his own children!

If the white fang resorted to such actions, were they any better than the humans mistreating them.

Blake stood up and looked up at the incoming shadow, gasping in surprise, she pushed Adam out of the way, before diving to the side.

The train car made a loud crash as it collided with the ground they were once standing on, forming a small crater.

Blake hopped up to her feet, running to the other side of the train car. Seeing Adam was fine she relaxed slightly, before slapping his face. Adam stumbled back in shock before turning back to face Blake.

Adam: What was that for?!

Blake: You should know why! You're being a complete moron! The only reason we're here is that you want to avenge those rapists and murders! those things that they did can't be justified! How are we supposed o gain the respect of humans, when we act worse than them?!

Adam didn't respond, processing what she just said. Before exploding with rage and grabbing her by the neck, and lifting her off the ground.

Adam: Listen here, "my love" you always were delusional about peace with humans and Faunus, you should know by now that peace isn't an option! If we want true equality, we'll have to take it by force.

Adam: If you can't see that anymore. Then you have no place with us.

Blake tried to break out of his grasp but watched in horror as he grabbed the hilt of his sword. She closed her eyes waiting for the sharp pain of the sword.

________________________________________________________________________________

Vader stepped outside of his force bubble, there was a small circle where he was once standing. Where nature had not been affected by the maelstrom.

Vader examined the surrounding area, tree's had been torn from the ground, train cars were off the rails and littered about, a result of the powerful maelstrom. As Vader examined the damage, his attention was drawn to the sound of shouting.

Looking out towards a clearing, Vader saw the leader of the white fang fighting with the girl he had seen earlier, he questioned this. Vader had sensed a bond between them, but it was obvious their bond was breaking.

Vader watched as the red-haired boy lifted her up by the neck, knowing he should react, Vader, reached out with the force, gripping the boy's neck.

The boy dropped the girl out of shock and grabbed his neck. Trying to release the pressure being applied by Vader.

Vader slowly lifted Adam with the force, applying more pressure to his neck. Throwing him to the side, Vader watched as the girl's face turned to shock, flipping her head back and forth from himself to the boy.

Vader took a step forwards toward the girl, watching her react in fear. She scooted backward, till her back was touching the train car. Vader was about to continue walking towards her, until he turned, activating his lightsaber and blocking Adam's blade.

Adam was seething with rage, staring into Vader's cold, emotionless helmet. He pushed with his blade and dashed backward getting into a taunting pose.

Adam: Do you know who you are attacking Vader?(raises sword) You fight the leader of the White fang! You'll be lucky to escape this fight unscathe - !

Vader made a pulling motion with his hand, Adam's mask flew off his face and into the hand of Vader's.

Vader: You design masks after the very things that would kill you?

Vader looked up at Adam and saw the reason why he wore a mask. Adam had been branded on his face, he obviously hid it out of shame. Vader smiled, he had discovered his enemy's weakness. Using his hand, he crushed the mask, dropping it to the ground before stepping on it.

Adam growled out of fury, before launching towards Vader. Drawing his sword he aimed it to stab at the machine console at Vader's chest. Simply raising his hand, Vader froze Adam mid-dash, The blade mere inches from Vader's chest.

Adam struggled to move, unable to due to Vader. He raised his lightsaber, Adam breaking free just in time to block the blade. Adam's blade slowly beginning to heat up due to the pressure being applied.

Adam looked at Vader, His crimson blade lighting up the black helmet. His mechanical breathing the only noise heard besides the lightsaber slowly eating through the blade.

Vader began applying pressure, Adam fell to one knee, grunting in pain. Using his speed Adam dashed out of the fight to gather his bearings but didn't find the time as Vader dashed right in front of him. Know his blade was damaged, Adam had to dodge all of the attacks of Vader while simultaneously retreating.

After dodging another swipe Adam dashed backward trying to put some distance between him and Vader. Vader simply raised his hand, the force gathering all of the surrounding debris. Adam stared in awe, as trees, boulders, even white fang corpses began being lifted off the ground.

Adam dodged to the left of an incoming tree, lodging itself deep into the ground. Adam called on his speed, as he had to jump from one obstacle to another, trying to dodge the incoming debris.

Vader observed his enemy, he was certainly fast, but he was faster. Using the force, Vader began lifting the already thrown debris. Increasing the speed at which it was thrown. Vader smiled as he saw Adam colliding with a tree, sending him flying back towards Vader.

Adam got to his feet, gripping his chest in pain. Seeing Vader still had his hand raised, Adam dashed forward, pulling his sword out of the scabbard, slashed in a diagonal arc, he felt his blade collide with something. Stopping behind Vader, he smiled and went to sheath the blade, only to find that most of the blade was gone.

He quickly looked at Vader, who slowly began to turn around. His lightsaber was raised, using his other hand, he held the rest of Adam's sword using the force. Adam tried to get away, but felt a sharp pain in his calf, screaming, he looked down, only to see his own blade stabbed in his leg.

Trying to crawl away, he heard Vader's breathing near closer, and closer. He turned seeing a gloved hand extended towards him, feeling a sharp pain in his head, he began to scream. Memories began resurfacing in his mind, his time at Atlas when he became the leader of the white fang, all the hatred he felt towards humans. Gripping his head, his screams became louder, and louder, till it stopped, Adam Taurus fell over sideways, unconscious.

________________________________________________________________________________

Vader removed his hand from Adam's mind, then swiped sideways, knocking the Faunus unconscious. Turning, he saw Blake, that was the girl's name, still up against the train car.

He began walking towards her, her letting out a terrified shout, trying to crawl away, only to find the train car in the way. She stared in horror as Vader slowly stepped towards her, she raised her arm's covering her face.

Vader deactivated his lightsaber, and clipped it on his belt, kneeling down he offered his hand to a still terrified Blake, She removed her arm from her face, and looked wearily at Vader, before taking his hand.

Vader stood up, helping her as well. He towered over her, she stared in bewilderment, Vader simply bowed.

Vader: Blake Belladona.

Blake stared in amazement, at the man, how did he know her name? Why was he being so kind to her? What is he?

Vader turned and stretched out his hand, Blakes weapon twitched on the ground, before flying to Vader's hand, turning he handed the weapon back to Blake.

Vader: I believe this is yours.

Blake took the weapon from Vader's hand, and attached it to her back, she continued to stare at him as he turned to leave.

Blake: Wait! Why are you letting me go?

Vader stopped and turned back to face the Faunus girl.

Vader: (pointing to Adam) I saw into his mind, I saw how he abused you, and how you didn't like the idea of the white fang being a terrorist group. So I believe you earned yourself a second chance.

Vader turned and pointed at the relatively undamaged train.

Vader: The train is still functioning, take it to the nearest town, there you can find help.

Blake: B-But, it's off the rails! How will I be able to use i -?

Blake watched in amazement, as Vader lifted the train using his hand, and placed it back on the rails.

Blake: T-Thank you.

Vader only bowed, as he watched her run toward's the train, she turned and waved at him. Vader, smiling under his helmet, waved back. Before turning and continuing on his walk.

________________________________________________________________________________

Vader continued to walk towards a train car until he heard the train powering on. Turning around he watched as the train sped off down the tracks.

Smiling he turned around only to stop when he felt a presence approach them.

Vader: Reveal yourself, Qrow Branwen.

Vader watched as the nearby bird flew towards him, and with a puff of smoke, turned into a human.

The human wore a white shirt, had blackish-grey hair, and black pants. On his back was a sword, but Vader knew it could change into a scythe or a gun.

Qrow: hey there, Vader was it? Nice to finally meet you in person.

Qrow said before removing a flask from his jacket, he took a swig and placed it back inside. Needing the confidence to face Vader.

Vader: you have been following me, why?

Qrow simply shrugged his shoulders at this.

Qrow: I was tasked with following you. Then to report back.

Vader: Ah, yes report to your master Ozpin.

Qrow was taken aback by this immediately tensing and reaching for his weapon.

Qrow: how do you know that?

Vader with a flick of his hand sent Qrow's weapon flying from his back, impaling it into the ground.

Vader: I fought your sister, and acquired the information from her.

Qrow: so you're one of her bandits huh? Is that it?

Vader simply scoffed at this before walking again.

Qrow: hey! We aren't done talking!

Qrow ran after Vader, picking his weapon up and changing it to gun form.

Qrow: are you, or are you not a member of the Branwen tribe?

Vader: please, I would never stoop as low to work alongside bandits.

Qrow considered this for a minute before putting his weapon back on his back. He continued to follow Vader as he approached a train car.

Vader: you are in luck Qrow, I wish to meet your master.

Qrow questioned this, Vader wanted to meet Ozpin, for what reason? Did he want to help, or was he an agent of Salem? Qrow came to a decision, and he could tell Ozpin ahead of time so that Vader could meet the entire group. As a precaution in case, he was an agent of Salem.

Qrow: how do figure you'll get to Beacon? It's still a good walk from here. A few days at most.

Vader didn't reply, he stopped in front of a train car.

Motioning with his hand, the walls of the train car were torn off and thrown to the side, Qrow had to duck as one flew over his head, standing back up, he saw why Vader wanted this train car.

Inside the now torn open train car was a bullhead, with this Vader could make excellent time towards Beacon. Considering his options Qrow decided to go with him.

Qrow: do you know how to fly a bullhead?

Vader didn't respond, technically he didn't know, but assumed it was similar to a starfighter in some way.

Vader: I can fly anything.

Vader climbed through the bullhead, towards the cockpit. Sitting down in the pilot's chair, Vader stared at the control panel, feeling the familiarity. It certainly wasn't a Jedi starfighter, but it would have to do.

Qrow watched in amazement as the bullhead powered on, The thrusters hummed before lifting it almost completely off the ground. Qrow, snapping out of his trance, hopped into the bullhead before it took off.

As Vader eased the control stick forward, Qrow walked up and sat next to him in the co-pilot's seat, Vader questioned why he was following him, was he keeping an eye on him for his master? Allying himself with Vader so maybe he could kill Ozpin? The possibilities were endless.

Vader: Input the coordinates of Beacon.

Qrow pushed a few buttons on the console. The result was a screen turning on, showing a direct path to Beacon. Vader pushed the autopilot button and got up from the chair. Turning around Vader stepped towards the passenger room, wishing to be alone.

Qrow: Where are you going?

Vader: I am going to (presses a button, that opens a door) meditate. (closes the door)

Qrow stared at the door for a few minutes, seeing if Vader would return, satisfied he pulled a scroll out of his pocket, and pressed the call button.

Qrow: Hey Oz? It's Qrow, here's the update you've been wanting.

Vader moved towards the middle of the room, surrounded by seats, he sat cross-legged, removing his helmet, and let the force flow through him.

Vader attempted to meditate like a Jedi again, letting all of his emotions go, feeling peace. As he opened his eyes he saw a blue figure stand before him.

Obi-wan: Hello there.

Vader: General Kenobi.

Vader said this, as instead of being the same old man that lived on Tatooine for 20 years, this Obi-wan was about the same age Vader was when he was fighting in the clone wars.

Vader: (smiling) It is good to see you, old friend.

Obi-wan: yes it is, Anakin

Vader stood, he was still a good few inches taller than Obi-wan.

Obi-wan: Do you know how you arrived here, Anakin?

Vader: I do not know, master. (Vader said shaking his head)

Vader: I remember dying on the death star, the funeral pyre on Endor, then being transported to here. Whatever the force did certainly healed me, I have almost all of my limbs back, and no burn marks on my body whatsoever.

Obi-wan: The force certainly works in mysterious ways.

Vader: Indeed.

The old friends then took seats facing each other, catching up, and laughing while reminiscing about old memories, As they neared the end of their conversation Vader suddenly became very serious. Standing up, he called his helmet to him using the force. Putting it on his voice became mechanical, alongside the breathing.

Vader: It was nice to catch up, old friend, but I sense a disturbance, something is about to happen.

Obi-wan: Very well, may the force be with you Anakin.

Vader: And you as well, master.

Vader watched as the force ghost dissipated, smiling, he turned and opened the door. Seeing Qrow passed out in the co-pilot's chair, flask in hand. Vader sat in the pilot's chair, as an alarm started to sound, waking Qrow from his slumber.

A red light flashed, as Vader deactivated the autopilot and took control.

???: Unmarked bullhead, identify yourself, or we will open fire!

Qrow groaned and leaned forward, about to turn on the comm channel. when Vader stopped him.

Vader: The white fang disabled the comm function, we will not be able to communicate with them.

Qrow: So...What do we do then?

Vader: Strap yourself in.

Qrow: What fo - whoa!

Vader moved the flight stick, making the bullhead dive towards the ground Qrow flew out of his chair, due to him not wearing the pilot's safety harness.
