Saeko, the Serene

[Credit goes to ME, bitches <3]

-Kamuro village: Mistral, Evening-

Within the remote village of Kamuro, a young woman was passing by. Though she had stayed there the last night, she quickly learned she was not welcome there. Not that she really took any offence to their sentiments or the cursing and rock throwing. It was something she was accustomed to by now.

"Eh.. ow?" She rubbed her head as a crying boy threw a rock at her.

It bounced off, her aura shimmering gold briefly as the rock harmlessly plopped to the ground. Glancing back at the boy, who was being pulled back by his Mother, she could only smile wryly before she carried on, leaving the village while popping her earphones on for the long trip.

"You can't go messing with the Kaburagi! I TOLD you this!! They're all human Grimm.. Beasts, all of them" The boy's Mother chastised him.

Unknown to her, the girl heard her. Her fists clenched but she sighed and untensed. Continuing on her way as she turned her music up. She often used music to control her emotions. It came in handy whenever the denizens of Mistral saw her unique golden eyes. The eyes that belonged to an infamous clan with dangerous semblances.

Semblances that are responsible for a lot of pain, collateral damage and death. There was a lot of death associated with the Kaburagi name. Dismissing the negative feelings that were brought up within her, she shuffled the music on her scroll and continued on her long walk to Vale.

-Hours later, night-

She had stuck to the main road that connected the towns and villages, the young woman knew that the bandit tribes of Mistral often set up checkpoints to get tolls from travelers and merchants. Though there was one tribe in particular that she didn't want to encounter. Unfortunately, it was exactly that tribe that ended up pulling up around her in motorcycles and beat down offroad vehicles.

Seeing over five dozen of them pull up around her, she gave them a flat glare. A greasy, blond man got off his bike and walked right up to her. He started talking with a smug, cocky smile but her earphones were still playing music, so everything he said wasn't heard by her.

"So whaddya... say..?" He finished asking, hearing the music from her earphones.

^"She was lookin' kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an 'L' on her foreheaaaad"^ His face scrunched as he waved in her face, trying to get her attention.

"Hey.. I'm talking to you!" He yelled, the bandits hearing the music get louder, as if to mock him.

^"Hey now! You're an all star! Get your game on, go plaaaay!"^ Hearing this, his anger peaked as he tried to grab her earphones.

She turned her body away, smirking at his failed attempt as her gold eyes shone in amusement. Gnashing his teeth, he kept trying to grab her earphones forcefully. The young woman kept sidestepping his attempts with a grin. Some of the bandits had to resist laughing at the fact that she was even doing it in rhythm to the song. He lunged, but she bent down as he flew over her, face down in the dirt.

That broke the camel's back. A few bandits started laughing at him while slapping their knees. He stood up and unholstered his hand cannon, making them shut up. Pointing it at the young woman, he growled as his facial features contorted in pure anger. Seeing him pull out his pistol, she shrugged and popped out the earphone.

^"And all that glitters is goooold! Only shootin' stars break the mooooold"^ Turning it off after the last lyrics, she cocked her brow at him.

"What's up, Greasey?" She asked the furious bandit.

"You know... what we fucking want" He hissed out in anger.

"Pussy? Afraid the only kind you could get is paid. I'm not selling, by the way. Money? Sure. If it'll get you all to go away" She replied with a shrug, only to get a pistol across her face.

Her head tilted slightly due to the force of the hit, she rubbed her jaw slowly and shot the bandit an annoyed glare.

"You think you're fuckin' funny, do you?" He rubbed his wrist and scowled.

"I try?" She responded with a shrug.

"The Boss wants you, Kaburagi" Cutting to the chase, he stated.

"Why should I care what Raven wants? My sister's in trouble thanks to that bitch" She responded with a still calm voice.

"Her fucking fault. All you Kaburagi have something fucked up in that semblance of yours" He responded, seeming a little shaken as he brought it up.

"Heh.." She retorted with a laugh.

"So? If you and Dommy Mommy know that, why seek me out? I'm no different" She responded, continuing her walk with a roll of her eyes.

"Raven knows. Why else would we be here with nearly a hundred guys?" He responded as she stopped in her tracks.

"Saeko. The 'serene' one? Ha! That's a helluva joke your mom played! You're the most savage one outta your clan since your founder. Raven wants that power. Now be a good monster and-" As he reached out for her arm, he froze.

Saeko turned her head back, glaring at him with dangerous slitted golden eyes. Her hand grabbing his shoulder felt so heavy to him. As if a Beowolf Alpha was pressing down on him. His feet sunk into the dirt steadily.

"Leave. Me. Alone" She warned, a promise hidden in her words as she continued walking.

The bandit, who broke out into a cold sweat, clenched his fists and teeth as he stood there. Hearing her footsteps as she walked away, as if each step was personally mocking him. Turning around, he fired his hand cannon at Saeko, emptying a full fire dust magazine into her. Though from the look of her golden aura flashing, he immediately recognized his mistake.

Saeko, being attacked by a bandit, responded appropriately. The bracelets on her wrists transformed and turned into gauntlets with large fire dust crystals inserted on the surface. She turned around and exhaled while staring up at the shattered moon. Hearing the gun cocking of the bandits, she took action.

Having her palms face behind her, she crouched and accelerated using the built in dust flamethrowers in the palms of the gauntlets. Accelerating at the perfect speed, she planted her foot into a bandit's temple before grabbing his leg. From there, she used him as a battering ram and started clubbing other bandits with him while they fired at her. Seeing as her human club 'broke' in several places, she tossed him aside, though he was still alive, only having numerous bones broken.

A larger, more muscular bandit came in swinging a greataxe/shotgun at her. She ducked the first swing and held up her gauntlets to block the next, though she slide back from the force and hit a motorcycle. Grunting in annoyance, she sidestepped a slam of the greataxe and brought her fist down into his head. Seeing him stagger back with his aura flickering, she accelerated using her gauntlet and reverse roundhouse kicked him across his face before tripping him up with a leg sweep and nailing him in the head with an elbow.

The Bandit who talked to her before grit his teeth before signaling everyone to go for kill-shots. Standard protocol for killing Huntsmen was to dump their magazines into them until they dropped dead. So several bandits followed orders and continually fired at Saeko before she could get to them next. Once the smoke cleared, they saw her on her knees with her hands on the ground. Caked in blood, she was breathing loudly.

"It didn't have to be this way. Guess you weren't so special. Finish her off, boys" The Bandit ordered while hiding his relief.

Then she stood up and all the bandits were overcome with dread. The blood on her wasn't hers. It was the bandits who were near her that were caught in the crossfire. Saeko now had a dark expression on her face. A grin slowly plastered on her face as the muscles on her body became evident. She stepped forward, reveling in their fear. The first bandit to fire was quickly sent flying ten meters away with a shattered sternum.

Saeko jumped up twenty meters and slammed her heel into the ground, creating a ten meter crater that sent the bandits and vehicles up into the air. As they fell toward Saeko, they saw the savage glee in her face as she reeled back and backhanded them all. Teeth and bones breaking and shattering from the impact of a single hit before bodies and scrap metal were sent flying, littering the ground.

The rest was a blur for the negotiating bandit. She leapt on them all like a wild animal, breaking bones and pummeling them all in a display of raw, beastly power and swiftness. There was no technique shown like before. It was as if they were fighting a Grimm. He hid behind a boulder until it got quiet.

Poking his head out, his entire face was grabbed by Saeko. He was pulled in by his head by Saeko, who only used one hand. Face to face with the Kaburagi, he tried to shoot, but she simply smacked away his gun and crushed the bones in his forearm.

"AAAAUUUUUGGGHH-" His scream muffled as she covered his mouth.

Saeko stared at her foe, hand twitching. As if she had an unbearable itch to squash the thing in front of her. To kill him in the most visually disturbing way possible.

~No.. I'm not fuckin' this up before I even start~ She looked up at the moon with a sigh and dropped him.

"You're lucky. I never killed any of your buddies. Make sure to tell that bitch, Raven that. Might not be for long though. Grimm. Anyway, don't fuckin' appear before me again. I'll shove someone's head up your ass next time, asswipe" Saeko mocked, her personality different from normal in her current state.

Spitting on the ground, she proceeded to just walk away, leaving the dumbfounded bandit there. All the while, a man with black hair and red eyes was recording the fight nearby on his scroll. Seeing the fight was over, he sighed and sent the video to his boss and friend.

-Beacon-

Glynda and Ozpin finished watching the video showing the incredible amount of violence and raw power. Glynda swallowed her shock and nervousness with a pale complexion before turning to Ozpin. The man in question wore an interested expression.

"No.." Glynda said.

"Yes" Ozpin retorted.

"She nearly killed FIFTY people!" She shouted in outrage.

"Almost. She has far better control of that dangerous Semblance. I have my team.. I'll tell Qrow to send her over" Ozpin texted on his scroll, much to Glynda's chagrin.

"What are you doing with students like these..?" Glynda asked, not sure if she wanted the answers.

"They're outstanding individuals, aren't they?" Ozpin asked, leaning back in his chair.

"No.. they're.." Glynda winced, hesitating to finish.

"Powerful?" Ozpin asked, brow raised.

Shaking her head, Glynda clarified.

"Monsters.."
