Roman turned around to look at me, clearly expecting me to have followed him and gave a cheery little wave as he hopped back over the lip of the roof and into the open side door of the ascending bullhead that I knew would be there waiting for him.

''Sorry Kid end of the line.'' He shouted over the sound of the raising bullhead as he reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a red dust crystal the size of an apple from inside.

Before he could throw the explosive rock at me I jumped off the rooftop and flew at the bullhead at full speed managing to get into the aircraft and knock the dust crystal of his hand with a disregarding swat of my hand.

From his point of view, I may as well have teleported.

No longer needing to hold back for Cinder to show up I punched Roman into the bullhead's opposite wall behind him, his body indenting itself into the metal structure of the ship, restraining him for the moment.

Turning around I finally faced my next target as she angrily stood up from the airship's pilot chair.

A fair-skinned young woman with long ashen black hair that covered her left eye. She wore a dark red, off-the-shoulders

v-neck mini dress with yellow designs that showcased her hourglass figure and served as her primary weapon thanks to its dust weaving.

If nothing else Cinder Fall was a beautiful woman on the outside. It was almost a shame that I had no interest in the woman nor did I have the patience to deal with her.

As she slowly made her way to me I could see her hands moving slightly at her sides, the soft glow of her drees letting me know that the femme fatale was preparing to create her dual blades, it seemed she didn't want to talk either.

"Whoa, Cindy you are looking great, love the dress it suits you way better than the hotel uniform ever did," I said to her with a fake smile.

The previously enraged look she had on her pretty face froze as she registered my comment, was it an asshole move to use the knowledge of her horrible life to unbalance and manipulate her so I could easily end the fight?

Most likely yes but I am a devil and if I wasn't above manipulating sweet Ruby Rose then I certainly wasn't going to lose any sleep by manipulating the bitch that killed one of my favourite characters in the show and attempted to kill my second favourite one.

Also, she was an evil piece of shit that was going to sell humanity itself to the queen of the Grimm, so doing this was just good karma.

Taking advantage of the fact that my opponent was distracted for a second, I extended my left hand to the wall and softly tapped the metal with my index finger.

From the spot I tapped a compressed crimson wave of demonic energy rippled outwards as the restrained application of my power of destruction travelled across the airship.

"What are you…" Before she could question him further Millicas blasted Cinder out of the bullhead with a ki blast.

The windshield behind her offered no resistance as the airship crumbled into nothingness around the three of them.

It was a shame to destroy the bullhead but I didn't have the time or ability to land it and letting the airship fall out of control in the middle of a residential area was plain irresponsible.

Seeing her smash against a light post across the street before falling to the ground I twisted around in the air searching for my second opponent, any leftover from the bullhead disappearing from existence.

Roman had fallen into the alleyway below after the destruction of the bullhead released him from his restrained position of being previously stuck into a metal wall.

Not wanting to deal with him any longer but not willing to outright kill him at this time I channelled my power of destruction into my right arm and slashed at the man below. No having tested this move before I hoped I didn't overdo it.

From my hand, a crimson-black crescent slash of energy flew through the air and reached the rising form of the thief ignoring his aura entirely and cutting both his legs from his body at the knees.

Ignoring Roman and his screams of pain after experiencing my knock-off Getsuga Tensou I twisted in the air and blasted the arrow that was coming my way with a ki blast. Good thing I didn't lower my guard.

Cinder, already on her feet, kept shooting more arrows at me as I flew at her while dodging them from side to side my speed quickly shortening the distance between us.

"Who are you?" she growled at me as she twisted her weapon, Midnight, in her hands shifting it from a bow to a set of dual blades and slashed at me once I touched down in front of her.

"Oh, you don't remember me, Cindy? I'm hurt did all those electric shocks mess with your memory."

I said sadly still using her traumatic childhood to attack the villain mentally while blocking her attacks with my hands.

"You!" she roared at me, more out of anger than recognition as my hand took hold of her blades after a couple of strikes and pulled her close.

Her blades started shining with heat as she attempted to use her semblance to force me to release my hold on the weapons.

Through considerable the temperature of the metal was not something I couldn't ignore easily thanks to my devilish constitution.

"But joining Salem of all people," I whispered in her ear as I moved even closer to her. "What would Rhodes think of you I he could see you now?."

Her eyes widened, and for a second she stopped cold at the mention of the dead huntsman.
