~Third POV~
Somewhere inside the Forever Falls Forest where the White Fang base resides holds the cellar holding Albus as they talked to each other back and forth.
"Hey."
"Yeah?"
"You ever wonder why we're here?"
"It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night."
Both stared at each other in silence before one of them broke the ice looking at his philosophical friend weirdly, "… What?! I mean why are we out here, in this forest?"
"Oh. Uh... yeah."
"What was all that stuff about God?"
"Uh...hm? Nothing."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
*Rattle*
Before they could continue talking about the life of God they have their selves armed holding their handguns before one of them shrugs with little concern as he replied, "Eh. It must be the other guys. Guess they really are laying it think with the human – "
*SWOOSH*
*THUD*
That was before they were suddenly thrown away from the door crashing to them as Albus makes his appearance holding the daggers he got from Ruby on his sides as the rest of the White Fang held their guns in his direction.
Taking a sip of his water bottle from his inventory with them not noticing as he prepared himself with some Fire Dust on hand he replied to them, "Oh my I'm sorry folks but as you can see suddenly being kidnapped does not hold wonders for my mental health. Now then if you surrender and let me as well as my friends go – "
"Haha!"
However, before he could finish though Albus frowned at this shaking his head but also smirked at the scenario ahead of him acting like the fool, 'Oh I guess my poor acting skills worked lowering their guards down. The next part is going to be so easy then.'
Using his <Telekinesis> skill he began to use <Object Calling> and <Attraction Field> to focus on getting his targets in question…
"Ahh!"
"Fuck my gun!"
"Wait!"
"Give me back my panties!"
"PERVERT!"
*Crack*
*Swoosh*
Cracking the Steam Dust in his hands and activating thick steam covering Albus' actions he managed to rob the White Fang members of what he had on them. He knew that he can't go and slaughter them with Weiss and Blake captive as it might escalate things quickly.
So he went for the nonlethal option to go from here as it would yield better chances for himself in the process of how things went for him.
Yes, that was his aim to make them all disarmed and made them strip to the bare minimum of taking away everything they had on the clothes and weapons they all had as he called them to his hand.
And it also magically disappeared in the process while under the thick steam keeping his Inventory a secret as he began to produce an orange flame as he looked at his MAP, "No? Well, then I hope you Faunus folk have some sunscreen. Because today's forecast calls for the rain of fire."
*Brr*
"Whoa!"
"SHIT! RUN!"
Quickly running away quickly as the White Fang are naked with their identities wide open and unarmored bodies exposed only left them vulnerable to fire attacks as Albus began to quickly move his way around the whole camp.
Using his MAP he began to see where Weiss and Blake were as he saw them together in another place as he kept his pace going in as he saw hostiles on his map as he grabs a bunch of Fire Dust in hand, "I think my friends will forgive me if I happen to use some Dust to get out of this situation. Here you go you terrorist fucks! Have a taste of what happened to your past crimes!"
Throwing the Fire Dust in their direction he finally managed to see the doors leading to the cellar that was keeping Weiss and Blake captive as he continues to move forward reaching for the door and using his <Aero-Kinesis> and <Pyro-Kinesis> to ignite the Fire Dust as the White Fang grunts pale at this.
"Oh shit – "
*BOOM*
…
…
~Albus POV~
*BOOM*
Managing to enter just in time of the door with the large explosion distracting the goons I managed to enter inside the cellar room as I made sure to melt the door shutting using my <Pyro-kinesis> skill off for the time being and using my Melodic Mudgal to hold it in place.
If Roman wanted his weapon back that much he can have it destroyed and useful in holding them off.
Quickly entering the downstairs I managed to find a beaten-up Weiss and Blake with surprise on their faces as I looked surprised at their states, "I guess you two didn't have the easiest time to deal with those terrorists huh?"

< [Heiress to Schnee Company]
Weiss Schnee Lv.71 (1650/3350 HP)
As the heiress of the vastly influential Schnee Dust Company, which her father currently controls. However, due to the company's mistreatment of Faunus labor and the resulting escalating backlash targeted at both the company and her family by the Faunus Civil Rights Protest and the White Fang, her childhood upbringing was a "very difficult" one.

"ALBUS!"
Getting closer to them I then soon brought my Healing Potion (Low) as I remember this could heal them quickly but first, I used my <First Aid> to heal them quickly first bodily of any injuries as I spoke to them, "You two… seems to have been through a lot. Fuck those bastards didn't even relent harming the both of you… multiple signs of internal bleeding and possible bone fractures as well…"
These are really serious conditions their bodies are in and quite possibly soon in life-threatening if they aren't treated quickly.
Coughing I could see from Weiss's side as she coughed out blood with clear signs to her stomach as I can tell or at least guess thanks to the medical knowledge of the <First Aid> skill to help me direct the issue.
Continuing the conversation I began to clean the bruises up and path them up before using the Healing Potion (Low) on them as I asked about their items, "Tell me where is your scrolls or where are your guy's weapons?"
Blake managed to respond as she looked surprised at the effects of the medical first aid and my healing potion taking its effects, "No use they destroyed it when we were ambushed by the Apathy. Took us by surprise after that and beat us with an inch of our lives after that. Ow… but how did you heal our wounds and bruises this quickly – "
Interrupting her at the question since we have literally any or other better time than to talk about except possibly escaping, "Yeah how about we talk about this on hold till you guys properly recover and escape. Answers will be on hold till – "
"Till what?"
Sigh…
Can't get an easy way to get out before dealing with a mid-boss now, can I?
Glancing around as I see a burly man with wolf ears but a noticeable scar on his eye as it has the SDC logo on it as I replied calmly thinking to end the man, "And you are mister?"
<Observe>.
