Chapter 1 - Prologue -SummerRise Falls
The flames burned around the fortress, orders coming from all directions both sides waging war on each other through the smoke, dust explosions illuminating the night sky. The moon was shining down on a scene of chaos. There were flashes of every colour, illuminating the buildings every few seconds, red flashes from burn were always accompanied by a scream.
"Char! What do we do?" a figure asked into his ear piece running up the steps inside the tower seeing the battle rage around him outside through the stained glass windows. His dark hair hung down over his face, which was obscured by a woolen skull mask. "Sir answer me!"
Looking up he saw a group ahead of him. The figure began to glow, channeling his aura he sent a wall of darkness crashing into them sending them flying many over the barrier of the stairs, speeding up he slammed into the last three soldiers who had been running ahead of him. Seeing their silhouettes fall over the barrier he knew they wouldn't survive the fall.
Bursting through the door at the top of the stairs the figure saw the grey haired individual his traditional suit replaced by an outfit for a battle, he looked tired and week standing at an opening in the wall but proud and strong at the same time. He was coordinating three attacks simultaneously while firing the fortress cannons and sending blasts from his tower.
"It's about time you got here Phoenix! I've seen what they're using on us and I'm afraid we will lose-"
"You can't mean that!"
"Yes I do!" the man named Char stated solemnly.
"I need you to live Phoenix. I'm sorry but only you will escape this way it could have been you and one more but I didn't have time to contact her before they captured her. She is still alive Phoenix but for now you must do what I ask you to. Go to Beacon find Ozpin you've seen him before, grey hair always drinking from a mug. Tell him "Char is gone. SummerRise has fallen." He will take care of you, continue learning please Phoenix and avenge all of us. We will keep fighting to give you time."
"But sir-"
"No Phoenix, just go now you have to. For the sake of everyone still alive you have to make it to Beacon."
Throwing open the window he yelled at him to leave again as the fortress shook again the intensity of the enemy's attack increasing. Looking at the sea below the tower past the cliff Phoenix ran past his leader and jumped out the window beginning his free fall down.
