Chapter 194 - 188 - Fear Tactics

Shallot was thinking about what to do. Just beating the civilians wouldn't do much but keep the time going. What he needed to do was find out who was the one responsible. He would like to get some more answers out of the chameleon Faunus but it didn't seem like she lost any reasoning that she had that was left.

"Ruby. I want you to go and tell the others to apprehend all of the ones with red robes on and leave them in good enough shape so that they can talk. We need to get information about the person that is causing everything." Shallot said while looking at Ruby.

"Got it, Honey!" Ruby said while turning into rose petals and dashing out of the hole in the wall.

"I'm also going to be leaving to get a fly view to pick off anyone that may be causing the issues. Try not to get yourself killed again headmaster. You surviving the first time probably used all your luck." Shallot said while walking toward the hole in the wall.

Shallot jumped out of the hole a flew toward the city.

"So you can take over others' bodies?" Dr. Oobleck said while looking at Ozpin.

'I need to do some explaining now thanks to Shallot and his AI. Never thought that information about me would be in the hands of others. I need to find out what other information is also known.

Some things are better not known.' Ozpin thought to himself.

"I'll explain that to you. I have already told Qrow and a couple of others. I haven't told the rest of the teachers because it wasn't important." Ozpin said while getting ready to tell him the information that he has already told the others.

'No point keeping everything about me a secret since Salem has already been stopped by Shallot. I still want to know what he has down with her though.' Ozpin thought to himself before explaining things to Oobleck with Qrow nodding and agreeing to verify things for him.

Shallot was flying overhead and was arriving at the city. He stopped and had to think about something.

"If they managed to get past Qrow and kill Ozpin once could they do it again?" Shallot said to himself.

Shallot shrugged his shoulders. It wasn't his job to babysit the headmaster. If he couldn't stay alive after that then it wasn't his problem. He only talked to Ozpin a handful of times and he wasn't that close to him. He wouldn't be some guardian angel for him.

What he needed to do was find out where the person that was controlling everyone was.

Shallot closed his eyes and tried to feel for the largest amounts of ki. He sensed three ki signatures which were larger than the rest.

"That should be Summer, Weiss, and Yang. The smaller amount close to them should be Taiyang.

There are four ki signatures that are higher than Taiyang's but lower than the girls. I'll start there." Shallot said to himself before flying toward the ki signatures he felt.

Ruby was flying in the air above where everyone was at when a bullet was shot in her direction.

Ruby leaned her head to the side dodging the bullet easily. Ruby had realized that the stronger she becomes the better her perception was. A bullet wasn't an issue anymore as it seemed as if it was in slow motion.

Ruby turned to look where the bullet came from and saw that it was fired from someone in a red robe standing on a building. They had a hood on their head instead of the red hat like the other ones she had seen in the crowd.

Ruby flew in that direction to see that the person tried to escape. It was useless however as Ruby was leagues faster than then. With a flurry of petals her speed kicked up immensely and she was in front of the robed sniper in the next second.

The robed person placed their hands on the building and the concrete from the building started to bend and move. They were making a dome around themselves to try to protect themselves.

Ruby appeared behind the robed figure and tapped on their shoulder. They turned around to see a skirt and a knee in their face.

*POW

Ruby's knee struck their face and she could feel something breaking under her knee. She also heard a light snap coming from the person's face. The person's aura had shattered in the first hit.

"Oops, forgot to hold back enough. I thought that since you all could use ki you would be fine." Ruby said tilting her head a bit at the person.

"You bitch!" A nasal voice sounded from the hood.

Ruby eyebrow scrunched hearing that before sending a kick to their side. The top of her left foot smashed into their right arm.

"Awww!!!" The robed person cried out hearing their arm break.

The person grabbed their right arm with their left arm and knew that it was shattered.

"Can you repeat that?" Ruby said while smiling at the person.

~~~

Shallot flew down into a group of 4 robed individuals.

"So, how's your's life insurance?" Shallot asked next to one of them.

The person turned and saw that it was Shallot. Their face went pale seeing him. There was one order that they were given. If they saw the monkey Faunus with long hair flee on sight and regroup.

The person was about to try to turn and run when Shallot's hand stretched out and grabbed their throat.

"Now, I have some questions for you. Have you heard about our lord and savior Cthulhu?" Shallot said while smiling at the person.

Shallot's red eyes staring at him. Shallot's ki was washing over him making him think that he was being pressed down by weights while still being lifted.

"You're going to tell me where the person that is controlling everyone is and you're going to do it out of the kindness of your heart. If you don't have a kind heart I'll have to take the heart you have."

Shallot said while the person in his hands pissed himself.
