Disasterous result(2)

"RUN JAMES!" ozpin yelled before putting up a greenish glowing barrier , just in time too as cinder flooded the area with fire putting the power of a maiden on full display. ironwood wasted no time fleeing through the escape tunnel while ozpin held back cinder. the man knew that unlike ozpin if he died there was no coming back for him. "she told me so much about you , how you would likely act during a panic , everything. using that information i painstakingly crafted a plan to take beacon from you , though admittedly there were some rather irritating setbacks thanks to that man you had teaching seemingly on the spur of the moment." cinder monologued.

Like most villains cinder just couldn't help gloating once she was sure she had the upper hand much to ozpin's irritation. you have to understand that over the centuries ozpin had been dealing with people just like cinder who all monologued for no other purpose than to hear their own voices. the sheer amount of times he had been in a position to suffer from others monologuing was enough that it had gotten old quickly. if it wasn't for the fact he needed to give ironwood enough time to get to safety ozpin would have likely just let the flames kill him so he didn't have to listen to it.

Once ozpin was sure ironwood was out of reach he allowed his shield to drop and the flames wash over him briefly before turning him into ash. cinder was left speechless at how little ozpin had fought to remain alive and didn't even realize that he had basically killed himself just so she would shut up. for most this wouldn't be an option but since ozpin knew he would simply return between three and for weeks from now in a new body he didn't mind at all.

Cinder just shrugged off the strangeness of his death as her simply overpowering him before using her new powers to fly up the elevator shaft in order to welcome the ancient wyvern to beacon. during all of this leon was learning the hard way why it was so hard to kill ancient titans like this one. each slash with his weapon in scythe form or bullet in rifle form barely penetrated the dense hide proving to be little more than an irritation for the beast.

The only thing that worked fairly well was the hellfire leon used with his attacks that now covered the entire wyvern. the magical fire would only ever stop burning if leon could not afford to feed it an energy of some type making the minor damage start to add up over time. even though as a grim the wyvern wasn't very smart it could still realize this fact and work to fix it. the beast had chosen to ignore genesis entirely in favor of ending the only thing actually endangering it's life , leon. 'OH SHIT!' leon thought before rakuraiing away as the beast moved surprisingly quickly to snap it's jaws at him from behind like a snake.

'Thank god for this ability' leon thought with his back covered in cold sweat at how close he had gotten to getting eaten. leon had no doubt that if any other type of grim were to eat him somehow he could survive long enough to cut his way out. but even hellfire did little to this wyvern so he would definitely want to avoid such a fate in this case. the wyvern looked slightly confused why it's sneak attack failed but went for another attack almost instantly afterwards.

This time the wyvern opened it's mouth and leon got all of a second to flap his wings in order to dodge to the side before a massive gout of flame scorched his previous position. leon thought he was going to be able to slowly wear the beast down to nothing but that changed when the spiked tail of the wyvern suddenly slammed into him and impaled him before sending his body flying in multiple pieces with his head smashing into the ground knocking him out. this sealed the fate of beacon to be overrun with grim , for now.
