Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Tiger and Cat. Enjoy the 1300-word chapter. I down own Rwby, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(White Fang, secret base island off Menagerie.)
Mauve watched the 3 other Bullheads skim over the water as they began to land at their fallback base as he turned to Sienna as he jumped out of the Bullhead and held out his hand for her to take as he helped her out.
"Adam doesn't know about this base, Mauve, we're be safe for now."
Sienna said as Mauve and her began to walk past the dozens of White Fang loyalist solders as they kneeled for their leader like knights before a queen as she walked past them and into the building.
Mauve regarded the base, Sienna had chosen to make a castle that once belong to Humans during the war with humans, banners from the ancient Faunus before them still hung and Sienna had only ordered the castle restored when the Fang had found it as to not erase the value of history the castle had.
'Adam doesn't know about this place because he doesn't care about our history, he only cares about growing his power and lording over humans.'
Mauve thought as he and Sienna reached the castle's war room as Sienna took her seat at the head of a massive marble table with the White Fang's first symbol white they had never removed due to the Fang's other concerns.
Mauve saw the other Faunus siting in the other seats as Sienna sat down, she acknowledged them by their first names.
"Cobalt: Commander of my Atlas cell, Sangria: leader of the Mistral branch…. I see my other lieutenants haven't arrived yet…"
Sienna said as she looked at the two Faunus at the table as they looked at their leader with Mauve standing by her side, as if daring them to try and attempt what Adam had tried.
Mauve looked at Cobalt and Sangria. Cobalt wore heavy armor which was painted white with a red hood and black gloves and wore a mask made from a Beowolf, he nodded silently as he turned to look at Sangria who wore red robes and a white dress and high heel boots with a cloak covering her head, she wore a Deathstalker mask as she bowed.
"Your grace."
She said as Sienna pulled Tigris Purpuram from its sheath and examined the dagger as she spoke.
"I assume both of you know why I called you've both here…. You two are part of my inner circle like Mauve is…"
Sienna said as her fangs showed in anger as the two nodded.
"Taurus overstepped his power and tried to kill you… We are aware, we will find him and kill him, your grace."
Cobalt said as Sienna rolled her eyes before shaking her head.
"No, we move against Adam now, we'd still have to deal with the army of traitors he has…. Plus, I will end Adam's life personally… But since Adam has betrayed me, I require a new second in command…"
Sienna said as she looked at Cobalt and Sangria as she smirked as they opened their mouths to speak.
"No, it will not be you, I am happy for your loyalty… But for now, I'd rather promote someone who I know wont stab me in the back…. Mauve will be my new Lieutenant, Cobalt, Sangria… You will obey his orders for now… We're speak again in 2 hours and then I'll explain our next move against Adam... Your both dismissed for now… As are your honor guards."
Sienna said as Cobalt and Sangria looked at each other before bowing and getting up to leave as their soldiers and Sienna's loyalists escorted them out as well.
"Mauve, you can relax now, their gone…. Besides, I know your only acting that way to keep me safe.
Sienna said with a smile as Mauve relaxed before putting his armored hands to his head and pulling off the Nevermore mask as Sienna turned to see the Jade eyes and black hair of one of her best friends, Mauve placed his mask on the table as he cracked his neck before speaking.
"You know, Sienna, I haven't had this interesting a life since Haven academy…. Not that its anything new."
Mauve said as he smiled as Sienna as she nodded, glad to be able to relax for a few minutes since Adam had tried to kill her as she placed Tigris Purpuram back in her holster.
"This isn't the first time someone has tried to dethrone me…. But Adam has the support of most of the Fang, Mauve…. We're going to have to turn to… 'Them' for help."
Sienna said as Mauve's Faunus ears twitched before he spoke up.
"Great, my sister is already mad at me…. And some of Adam's spies are with them… Meaning Adam will know where we went as soon as we get there."
Mauve said as Sienna tilted her head before cracking it as she spoke up.
"Mauve, we don't have a choice, as much as I hate to admit it, innocent people are going to get hurt if we go against Adam directly… Besides, I've heard that some of the people of Menagerie have been trying to reach out to me before Adam's coup…. I'm going to give our fellow Faunus an answer."
Sienna said as Mauve bowed before her.
"You know I've got your back, Sienna... But if Adam finds out where you are, he'll try and assassinate you publicly… You've said it yourself, being your spy is one of my duties… Besides, I know who your trying to contact personally… Save your power for the coming war, Sienna."
Mauve said as Siena nodded as she stood up from her chair before speaking.
"I'll send you with a small platoon of our soldiers, Mauve. I'll be coming there when I know that it's safe… I'll wait on the edge of the village."
Sienna ordered as Mauve nodded as he placed his mask back on his head before he started to walk out of the room as Sienna looked at the old Faunus banners.
"Yeah, be safe, Mauve…"
Sienna said as she stood up and started to walk towards the castle's throne room so she could talk to her other lieutenants once again.
(White Fang base, airfield.)
Mauve stood before 15 White Fang soldiers as they strapped rifles to their backs and pistols and swords to their waists as Mauve spoke up.
"Our mission is to travel to Menagerie and go to the village of Kuo Kuana…. Keep your eyes out for Adam's loyalists, Adam will probably have a few spies in the village… Leave negotiations to me and no violence unless I tell you to, understood?"
Mauve asked as the White Fang soldiers nodded as Mauve turned and led them to 3 Bullheads as Mauve stood in the troop bay as 4 of the White Fang soldiers climbed in.
1 soldier of the groups each piloted the VTOLs as the other 4 stood in the troop bay as the 3 Bullheads lifted into the air as they hit their engines and started to fly.
"You know where to go?"
Mauve asked the pilot as he nodded before he spoke up.
"Yes sir, we know where Kuo Kuana is, the high leader ordered us to wait on the outskirts of the village… We aren't exactly welcome…"
The pilot said as the Bullheads skimmed over the waves and continued to fly towards the village.
"Tell me when we're approaching the village."
Mauve said as he moved back to the troop bay as the VTOLs flew over the desert as they made their way towards the village as Mauve closed his eyes before thinking.
'This is going to be interesting…'
The White Fang lieutenant thought.
Author Notes
Ok, I saw the latest episode, and it gave me a few ideas for how the story could go. The next chapter will be Mauve speaking to the White Fang's previous leaders…. If you guys don't know who Mauve is… Next chapter will explain it. Next chapter will be on Tuesday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
