CHAPTER 24: COLLATERAL DAMAGE

I don't feel like m y s e l f .

"Hello Ruby!" Lavender said as he waved towards the hooded girl in red.

'The light..'

"What are you on about!?"

Ruby looked at Lavender in Confusion as he talked to himself.
"Jeez Lavender I wanted to say congratulations!" Ruby said as she put up hands in defense.

"Look what you did now.."

"Apologies Ruby, just straightening a few things out is all."

She then raised an eyebrow and let her eyes wander towards his weapon.
"So, what is it?" Ruby asked as she pointed at his fists, a sliver of blood dripping from the weapon as he shifted it back to it's original form.

"My problem solver's" Lavender said as he placed his cartridge into the gun, "it's a good thing I didn't have to
Use it."

Ruby then arched her eyebrows once more and watched Lavender put his weapon into it's neutral state and put it away.

"Y'know.." Lavender said while looking at Cardin's lackies crack their knuckles, "We can go one on one later if you want, give you a few tips and tricks on how to defend yourself.."

Lavender began to slur and quiet down when her blonde sister began to appear out of the crowd of people.
"She doesn't need to learn to protect herself buddy."
"There you are Yang!" Ruby said, "I was wondering where you disappeared to."

Yang then tossed her golden locks to the side of her head and began to run her long soft fingers through it.
"She's advanced" Yang said while looking Lavender straight in his eyes,
"Is that so Ruby?" Lavender said while putting his hands to his stomach.

"What's wrong Lavender?" Ruby said as Lavender covered his mouth, "you look a little sick."
"Excuse me!" Lavender said as he dashed past the two girls towards the double doors and into the stall bathroom.

"Wonder what was wrong with him?"
Yang said as she tossed her golden hair back once more and looked at Ruby confusingly.

"No idea."

The water ran loudly as Lavender put his dirty, blood stained hands in the cold water as three male voices echoed from outside the bathroom doors. The door opened quickly as Cardin's lackies walked into the bathroom and spotted lavender drying his hands.

One with a rather large, mint-colored Mohawk and raggy looking armor, the second with luscious brown hair and brown armor and finally the third one had long grey hair with an even darker grey armor set.

"Hey you!" One of the men yelled, "no one makes an idiot out of our team leader!"
He then put his hand on Lavenders shoulder attempting to move him but to his surprise, Lavender did not budge a single inch.

"Shut the door Russel" the man said As he turned around raised his fists, "Ok Dove"  Russel said as signaled his colleague to help him hold the door.

"Turn around you fuck!" He yelled as Lavender just stood in complete silence, looking away from the three men.

"You asked for it!" He then threw the first punch, missing as Lavender moved his head to avoid the attack.

Lavender then swiftly turned around and punched the man in the gut, watching as some of his blood came spilling out of his mouth.

He held his stomach in pain as Lavender picked him up by his Mohawk and slammed his head into the sink, breaking the corner and fracturing his skull.

"Dove!" yelled Russel as he let go of the door and began to attack Lavender head first. first throwing a right hook then a few jabs at Lavender's head, missing as Lavender swiftly moved back next to the black stalls.

Russel steadily became more and more angry as each punch he threw missed and Lavender just dodging without even breaking a sweat.

Lavender now running out of room in the bathroom put his arms up as Russel yelled in frustration and began to throw a flurry of punches at him, each making contact with Lavender's body.

Russel threw another punch, only to be caught by Lavender.
Russel looked at him in confusion as he began to headbutt him over and over until the blood covered at least most of his mouth.

The last man holding the door looked at Lavender in horror as he wiped the blood off of his forehead.

"Bring it on!" Lavender yelled as he put hands up.

"I think that'll be enough Mr. Munzell"

Ozpin then opened the bathroom door and walked in slowly, "It seems you left the rest of team CRDL incapacitated, I think they have learned their lessons."

Lavender put his hands down slowly as Ozpin opened the door for Glynda and let her take a look at the damage.

"Oh my.." Glynda said as she spotted the two unconscious bodies on the floor, each swimming in a small pool of blood.

"Ms. Glynda?" Ozpin said as he turned to her, she looked at her employer and back at the two bodies.
"Do be sure this is cleaned up before the period ends."

"We need this to be clean for the new students coming in the next thirty minutes."

"And as for Mr. Munzell" Ozpin sipped at his cup of hot coffee, "please have him cleaned up as well."

Lavender looked at him confused as he began to walk out of the bathroom, "Remember: we have a reputation to uphold."

Glynda pulled a wand out and waved it, watching as pieces of the sink came back together.
The blood raised from the two bodies and began to make a large, red bubble in the bathroom, quickly turning into a fine mist as she waved her wand once more.

'That could've gone better.'

"Shut it."

"Wash up and meet me in class in five, if you are late, you will have detention and the responsibility of carrying these students to the infirmary."

"Do I make myself clear Mr. Munzell?"
Glynda glared at Lavender as he turned towards the sink, "Yes Ms. Glynda!"

'I didn't have to babysit you this time!'

"Shut the hell up!" Lavender yelled in frustration, the last man was still standing next to the door, dumbfounded that he wasn't knocked out on the floor with the rest of his gang.

"Start moving or I'll just have to do the same thing to you." Lavender said as he walked over to the paper towels and began drying his hands.

He then ran out the door leaving Lavender to do his business once more.

"This isn't so bad, what do you think?"

'Well if your asking me, I think you did well introducing yourself to the class.'

"Lets just hope Xiaolong didn't recognize us." Lavender said as he took a few more paper towels and wet them, the blood stains on his face began to dissappear with each wipe.

'Last time we saw the bitch, we we're wearing the mask from that whitefang girl.'

'I doubt she recognized us.'

"Suppose your right." He said as he threw the towels in the trash.

'He is testing you.'

"Mmm had a feeling you'd say that, we can win, just be patient."

Lavender walked over the bodies and towards Glynda's class, the sounds of people chatting echoed through the halls.

'The Dawn has arrived..'
