Just before anyone could leave the gate entrance, the marines heard a familiar voice.

"They're over here!" Looking in the direction of the voice, the marines saw Teams RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY running towards them with their weapons at the ready.

"There you guys are! We've been looking all over... for..." Weiss spoke but slowly stopped. Now that they were up close, they saw that there were dozens of bodies everywhere, with the marines absolutely drenched in blood and their eyes bloodshot red. "Did you guys do all this?"

Much to their relief, their eyes began turning back to normal, though they still did not look very happy to see them. "Yes. Though what are you guys doing here? It's not safe." Pavel asked, his tone cold but eerie calm.

"We came here to help. Ozpin told us to go looking for you when he saw you leaving your small base a few hours ago." Coco responded getting annoyed and angered looks from the marines.

"We appreciate the gesture guys, but as you can see, we've already handled it. The situation is completely under control." Pavel said hiding his annoyance very well.

Ruby tho, spoke her mind looking behind them, "Under control?! You killed all these people!!!"

David looked at a corpse with her brain matter on the ground, "So we did. Shame really."

"Why did you guys kill them!? They're just misguided!" Blake yelled at them.

Anthony and David tired of this bullshit with Blake and her views on the White Fang. Forcefully drags her to a certain location. The rest followed.

The two dragged her over to the bodies of the kids that were executed. Everyone's eyes widened at what they were seeing.

"Does this look misguided to you? Because from we're seeing this is far from misguided. Hell, different from misguided." David said.

Blake started tearing up at the sight in front of her, "Wha-What is this?"

"A harsh reality. This is the true reality of the White Fang under Adam's leadership. Or would our special asswipe tell her the truth." Anthony said grabbing the White Fang Officer who was bleeding from his knees.

"I killed them." He said with fear and pain.

Blake was a sobbing mess, "WHY?!"

So was Ruby, "How could you do this to innocent children?!"

"Because you human scum are responsible for all our suffering!!! We Faunus are the superior species of this planet, not you!!! Humanity should be serving us, and if we have to kill anyone that gets in our way to see that goal come true, so be-!" Anthony stomped on his leg breaking it, "AAAHHH!! MY LEG!!"

Blake just couldn't take it anymore. Faced with some reality of the situation, she fell to her knees and started crying, all while being comforted by her team. "How? How could the White Fang have fallen THIS far?"

David answered for her, "Sienna Khan, when she toke over the White Fang, she should have been tough on the "no killing without a very good reason", instead she has done more harm to not only the White Fang, but to the Faunus, by allowing the extremists like Adam to have a free hand to do whatever they wanted. But in her defense, I don't think she was fully aware of all the things Adam was doing. If she did, I'm sure she would have put a stop to it, one way or another."

The atmosphere was heavy with tension and grief as Team RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY absorbed the harsh reality laid bare before them. The sight of the lifeless children hit them hard, shattering any illusions they might have held about the White Fang's current state.
