Because of her I'm clinging to my umbrella and floating down from the atlas airship. The plan had been simple, hijack the ship, shoot down the others, and take over the Atlas robot army. Easy enough, but then red came out of no where and screwed everything up. I hope Roman can handle her, what am I saying of course he can. I hit the ground with a thud and look around at the carnage. People running scared with robots and Grimm alike attacking them. Man, the fall of Vale and Beacon Academy has been fun, hopefully Roman and I can take over after all is said and done. I pull out my scroll and text Roman./span/p

I thought the Grimm would not attack us, Cinder said her boss had control over them, she said we would be safe. Oh no, if Grimm are attacking me then they must be attacking Roman as well.

I run through the streets until I come across a civilian evacuation ship. I run over and the guards don't turn around until it is too late. I kick one hard across the face and use my umbrella to hit the other in the stomach, she had enough time to engage her aura so I uppercut her with the umbrella as well. She recovers and throws a punch at me. I side step it which causes her to fall to the floor. With her on the ground I hit her one last time and she is down for good. With both guards down, I politely smile at the scared people before pointing off of the ship, they don't move.

The pedestrians finally get the picture and run off the ship. I climb into the pilot seat and try to remember all the things Roman taught me. My feet barely reach the pedals of the transport vehicle but with some struggle I am able to start up the ship. I take off and fly towards the burning Atlas airship. I land on the deck and jump out of the transport vehicle. I step onto the roof of the airship and find it in burning tatters. Griffins are flying all around the ship and they are tearing it to pieces. It is almost like the Griffins are targeting the ship, like they are being told to destroy it specifically. I run towards the place Roman and I faced off against little red. When I reach the spot, there is no one in sight. I look around for anything that might hint at Roman's survival and I see a ting of red out of the corner of my eye. I turn and see a bit of Roman's hat sticking out from under some wreckage. With all my might I lift the wreckage and pull out Roman's bowler hat. It has blood splattered all over it. Tears well up in my eyes and I silently weep. I pull the hat close to my chest and cry as the flagship crashes into the city./span/p

I mumble as sit up in stomach acid. Before I can move or do anything it feels like whatever ate me is launched into something. The force knocks me against a wall, I slowly get back to my feet inside the creature. I put my hands on my head and find my hat gone, replaced by blood. ''well shit that can't be good, I need to get the hell out of here.'' I say as I realize that my aura is the only thing keeping me alive. This stomach acid should have melted me but because of my aura I am okay, but it won't last forever. I reach for my cane but I don't find it on my side. "shit where is it?" I mumble as I reach into the liquid I'm standing in. I feel around in the disgusting pool until I come across something hard, I pull it out of the liquid but it isn't my cane it is just a bone shard. ''disgusting.'' I say as I roll my eyes. I stab into the side of whatever ate me and cut back and forth. The creature roars in pain, hmm sounds like a Grimm. It moves in a way that knocks me away from the wall. I swim back over and continue to cut until the creature falls still leaving me an easy way out of the creature. I cut my way out and find myself in the street of vale surrounded by huntsmen and students, they all point their weapons at me as I slide myself out of the Grimm's belly./span/p

Three huntsmen and huntresses are running straight towards me. Maybe it is time for a strategic retreat. I throw the bone at one of them before I turn and run in the opposite direction. Where the Grimm used to be standing is now just dust and something else. I reach to the ground and pick up my cane. As I run I wipe all the remains of the Grimm off of it. I pull out my scroll and find that it is partly melted, I guess stomach acid will do that. I toss the scroll and turn down an alley. I run down it but I'm stopped when a giant Mammoth Grimm blocks my exit. I turn to run back and find the huntsmen running towards me./span/p

I roll forward and just miss being crushed by a massive hoof. The Mammoth starts to chase me but one of those stupid huntsmen shoots it in the back. It turns around and starts to fight them leaving me my get away. The Atlas airship I was on is no longer in the sky but I see the smoke from its crash site. I run towards it hoping I can find someone there. we need to regroup and get out of here our job is done. If only Red hadn't caused Neo to be blown away. Now I have to stick my neck out and find her. After a considerable amount of time and several dead Grimm, robots, and civilians I finally make it to the airship. My aura is totally depleted, now I really am risking everything for her. nothing stands out in the crash and I'm left worrying still, wait a second. Neo should still have her scroll on her! I can just steal one off some poor sap and confirm her location. I turn around and walk out of the wreckage, I walk into a restaurant to find several citizens inside./span/p

I look at all the carnage going on and quickly dial Neo's number. After a long pause someone picks up on the other end./span/p

I say as I turn back around and run towards the Mammoth. Man, I thought these Grimm wouldn't attack us, but these guys seem to be targeting me! I roll forward and just miss being crushed by a massive hoof. The Mammoth starts to chase me but one of those stupid huntsmen shoots it in the back. It turns around and starts to fight them leaving me my get away. The Atlas airship I was on is no longer in the sky but I see the smoke from its crash site. I run towards it hoping I can find someone there. we need to regroup and get out of here our job is done. If only Red hadn't caused Neo to be blown away. Now I have to stick my neck out and find her. After a considerable amount of time and several dead Grimm, robots, and civilians I finally make it to the airship. My aura is totally depleted, now I really am risking everything for her. nothing stands out in the crash and I'm left worrying still, wait a second. Neo should still have her scroll on her! I can just steal one off some poor sap and confirm her location. I turn around and walk out of the wreckage, I walk into a restaurant to find several citizens inside./span/p

I say as I launch the end of my cane into the man's face. He drops to the ground his nose bleeding. ''now let me repeat myself, I need a scroll!" this time several people at the same time try to give me their scrolls, I take the most expensive looking one and walk out of the shop. I look at all the carnage going on and quickly dial Neo's number. After a long pause someone picks up on the other end./span/p

I ask as I walk down the street. I duck to avoid a broken robot hitting me, and I stop to let a couple Grimm run past. No one answers me so I know it is Neo. "ah good to hear you not talking. We need to regroup, a lot of shit happened after you flew away. Meet me at the corner of Griffin street.'' As I finish talking actual Griffons land on the street. ''and be quick!"/span/p

I smile up him, and I'm happy at the thought of being top crime bosses in the whole city of Vale. Being head of the underground with Roman is something I could get behind./span/p
