You know I never cried from a games ending… okay only once and it was from the 'first wood war' (great (very hard) game) it's ending was so sad… especially when accounting that I was little at the time so it's message meant a lot to me.
Just Incase no the game isn't hard simply put it most people didn't know how to play it.
I totally didn't cry like a little bitch only some (a lot of) dust got stuck in my eyes.
I dislike whenever there's a happily ever after because there's always going to be something bad about life… but this games ending was so sad.
That's also why it's so memorable.
Now I just realized how ridiculous this is considering how the characters of that game looked…
You guys should see it as it's like 3 minutes but it gave me a stronger ending than most games for the past few years.
Someone Asked why there isn't a timeline or why the TIME SKIP are so unspecific… well the reason normally would be that the author was too lazy… but in RWBY well we know jackshit about the dates the only thing we know is the age of the main characters, oh and when that Great War 80 years ago happened… we don't even know what age Summer Rose was when she had Ruby…
I don't think we even know how many years there are in Beacon…
The most popular guess is that there are 4 years like in
This ain't mass effect or Harry Potter or any other series with huge amounts of thought placed into them, if I were to make a timeline I would have to guess literally every characters age, and many others things.
So short version is…
It's too hard
Long version is
Did Goodwitch teach STRQ, maybe she was in the same year, maybe Ozpin's new body was with them…
Doesn't help that everyone looks so damn young in this series.
Game:Aura increases your beauty by 4 out of 10.
Game:Aura decreases max beauty score from 10 to 6.
I mean let's be honest in RWBY we have yet to see one ugly person.
Who are the maidens how many of them have died in 80 years…
When did those idiots join Salem how old are they…
Watts has to be ancient I mean common his hair is graying a bit he's probably 99 years old by RWBY standards.
What was Salem doing for the past 80 years, she had humanity pushed back after the Great War, what was she doing in that time.
And many more basically… I would have to make up so many things that well how should I explain it the timeline could truly turn this fic into AU which I don't want to because then nobody will be able to have fun trying to predict the next chapters.
Half of the fun (at least for me) is theorizing what will happen next in the fics I read, if there are no rules or a story is AU with no timeline then its no fun if things happen with no reasonable or possible explanation.
Also Yangs more grabbing at straws I mean if you knew you had 1% chance that the rumor that your super father is still alive would you pass it up especially if said father was replaced by abusive drunkard… yea me neither I would grasp at that straw so hard that I'd try to quiet the voices in my own head saying…
'Why hasn't he come back before'
'Where was he'
Etc.
Also give Winter some slack after all this was all or nothing, Weiss used up all of her tricks on her and if there was a repeat Winter wouldn't get her ass whopped.
I mean think of this this way imagine you have a duel in a few minutes and you know the person you'll be fighting a guy who likes to tank hits, what you get is a rogue that dodges everything you throw at him, oh and this person always fought honorably before… now ehh.
Who you thought you would face=Jaune Arc
Who you faced=Roman Torchwick
In a straight fight Winter would have decimated Weiss no probs but in a fight where she lost almost half her Aura in the first 5 seconds and then got her world view of her little sister shattered as she fought like a savage.
Also Ironwoods specialists are getting more training just not hand to hand it'll be touched later on (hint:casualty Information or lack of it).
Adam is almost brainwashed like in the show except instead of "kill humans" he goes "kill enemies of the regime".
Trust me Marcus is cannon he ain't a new character… (psychotic giggles).
But don't worry if you don't know remember him, he had very, very little screen time and I'm not sure if I'm not the only person to use him to add to the story, no really unless I missed a fic from Coeur then I'm pretty sure he never wrote about him, and he (Coeur) is like RWBY Jesus.
It doesn't help that he's dead in cannon without Grievous there to save his life.
'Red trailer' will be explained this chapter just wait 2 minutes.
Also how many Vasilas in Vacuo do we know about…
The certain monkey Faunus will be kinda sub plot…
I can't wait to see someone connect the dots.
Rainbow dust issue
This is probably the most I'll go AU consciously though I'll give a hint it has something to do with dr Poledina's research.
Okay so many more things can go AU but that's because the series didn't end yet and we know nothing about certain subjects so I'll have to make things up.
And let's be honest Poledinas actions simply scream FNAF plot line to me.
Doctor Poledina:"I'll put you back together".
At least a small part of it.
I mean common if giving Atlesian knights Aura would have been easy do you think they would continue existing like in the show weak as hell getting cut cut in half.
So there has to be a deterrent, what if Penny is the doctors real daughter, after all to have a soul you have to be alive and a true existing object not a Grimm who act like demons who disappear after death.
Also Yangs going to be wearing her vol 2 outfit in this series because it looks cooler and matches with the fact that this is a darker version of Yang, the only difference being her pendant/necklace you know that thing on her neck being silver instead of purple, the same will apply to her fabric thingy…
I mean let's be honest Yang vol 1,3 outfit ain't got shit on Yangs vol 2, I was honestly hoping for its return with the way the show turned darker.
So this is finally it vol 1.
Ruby Rose POV
The first thing as I entered Vale was to put my cloak on its other side as it was actually red from one side and black from the other.
Summer memory:"the black is for operations during the night so that you'll be harder to spot and the red is for the city so that a car wouldn't hit you by accident during the night".
Ah Summer always caring for me even when she's not there.
I immediately noticed that Yang wasn't in our meeting place i simply ignored the fact and went to look up the newest weapon magazine…
If she's going to be irritated that she was waiting for me later then I'll simply tell her that she was late before me, after all treat people how you'd like to be treated.
As I entered my favorite shop in Vale I greeted the owner who looked like the most Mistralian man ever.
Some might think 'what do you mean most Mistralian' well because travel became so cheap more than half a century before there was a lot of moving around so now it's impossible to say who's from Mistral or from any of the other kingdoms.
Yang didn't know that there was some kind of stigma against Mistralian especially in Vale's hunter population, so when she introduced herself to class she made the mistake of saying that's she's a full blooded Mistralian, she also made the mistake in wording it so it sounded like she was some kind of Mistral supremacist.
Ah drunkle Qrow you should keep your mouth shut when you're drunk…
While most of Vale's civilians had an indifferent approach to Mistralians like to Faunus because no Mistralian troops fought on Vale's lands, but hunters were a different issue they practically made their own communities in the kingdoms, and many remembered the 100 Valean hunters who were KIA.
You generally don't forget losing fathers or mothers at the age of 7, or better yet awesome grandparents or any family members who'd you never meet.
So Yang was bullied by what basically was half of the class and when I accidentally introduced myself as her sister rumors spread far and wide and before long I was almost bullied but Yang pounced on the guy.
It seems that the bullying was indirect so Yang never knew who was creating unfortunate situations for her, this was her first finding of one of her bullies.
The reason it was indirect was because she was at the top of her class in terms of raw power and skill she brought to the table so much strength that people would all want her on her team conveniently forgetting about heir hidden hatred for her for the duration of team matches.
After all why let a little racial hatred get in the way of good grades.
As I was reading about the newest innovations made in machines of effectively eliminating problems (guns), I thought I heard someone talk to me but I ignored that feeling as I knew Yang didn't come to this shop she probably didn't know about it even, Hunters generally preferred having their own bullet shops.
Quote of the day was 'guns solve problems, if they don't solve all of them you need more guns'.
Ah advertisement, partially true and false at the same time.
Suddenly someone poked me on my shoulder, as I turned around hoping that I didn't somehow earn the ire of the shopowner I saw a man, what was peculiar was his outfit, he wore a black suit with a… Balaclava?
He pointed towards my headphones and made a vague gesture for me to take them off, I complied and I quickly scanned him and noticed the revolver and knife on his belt.
I've never seen or met anyone from the spy gang but he fit the description perfectly, I slowly took off my phones and asked slowly and carefully after all I didn't want to start a fight In the old mans shop.
"Is there a problem Mister?".
Spy gang grunt:"put your hands in the air".
"Are you robbing me?" I blinked honestly confused I mean people do tend to wear weird clothing but there is a difference between civilian and hunter clothing and that's not even taking fashion into account.
Spy gang grunt:"you're not the smartest of the bunch aren't ya".
"Oh" the same could be said about him… I mean who's stupid enough to attack a huntress, he didn't get to say anything else as I kicked him through the door landing on him, my first idea was through the window but I decided against it after all I'm not going to cause unnecessary collateral damage, and for some reason they kept the door open.
As I looked on him I was pleased when he was knocked unconscious I panicked a bit when I noticed he wasn't moving but it seems I hit him with the perfect amount of strength to knock him unconscious.
As I turned off my headphones I looked towards the shop and I saw 4 men coming out, except for one who was still inside the shop.
The men all looked the same except that one of them had a red color scheme unlike the others, he was the one still in the shop… he also had goggles?
Oh and he had some kind of heavy gauntlets that were silver in color, on those gauntlets were some kind of openings.
Goggle spy:"well, well, well Gentlemen a lady is here… chivalry is dead" at this he pointed at me "get her".
The three grunts took out their revolvers and knifes and didn't charge at me but instead they tried to surround me… that would have worked if I was a scared civilian not moving…
But I was a huntress.
I took out my crescent Rose and going for the closest man, he was surprised at my weapon (best weapon ever) and I quickly hit him with the side of my blade instead of cutting him because criminals usually don't unlock their henchmen's Aura's.
He was thrown aside and he tried to get up briefly but he wasn't able and he fell most likely unconscious, before I could turn around I felt 4 bullets hit me in the back, guessing by the amount of pain I estimate that 20 percent of my Aura just got eliminated.
20% while not a lot per say was concerning especially from 4 bullets as it meant that they had to be really sharp… sharp enough to cut skin, sharp enough to kill a normal person.
Before anything could impact me again i shot underneath myself using knock back to fly into the air, then I shot again and landed behind one of them, that person was promptly kicked with full force of a huntress.
While I don't look like much Aura is really helpful in storing strength inside of human muscles.
Then I shot using one of my 'anti human' rounds at the next person knocking him to the ground.
When I saw that none of them were moving I looked back and immediately noticed that goggle spy was standing there looking at me, he then pressed 2 buttons one on each gauntlet and then claws came out 10 of them 5 for each hand all of them were 10 inch (25cm) long.
Goggle spy:"well, well, well you've managed to beat 3 grunts color me impressed".
For some reason I didn't think he really was.
"Ow and you're supposed to be better" play the part of the overconfident cocky kid so that the opponent would become overconfident, a very great strategy.
The spy suddenly for no reason visible to me pressed the button on his gauntlets again and his claws retracted.
Goggle spy:"tell me do you think yourself a hero Red?".
For whatever reason I was feeling dread crippling up my spine at his 'casual' question.
"Yup, and you'll be behind bars in a hour" I replied sparkly as he reached for something behind him.
Goggle spy:"well it's time to decide what you value more" at this he took out what looked like a grenade "capturing the villain or saving the civilian" at this he threw it into the shop.
So i ran as quickly as I could to save the old man from death.
When I got into the shop I grabbed him and immediately threw myself with him on the ground, I was on top of him as a civilian most likely won't have Aura.
I hoped my Aura would withstand whatever explosion would go off…
I put my hands on my years and closed my eyes…
BAM
I opened them and blinked… I was pretty sure nothing impacted my Aura, when I got up the grenade was a opened shell.
I was a little drowsy in the head and I think I saw doubles but I dispelled whatever delusions came over me, normal grenades go boom and not whatever this sound was, it definitely wasn't a normal one, I immediately remembered that the bad guy was escaping and I ran outside.
I noticed on my way out that the shop looked like it did before meaning that the grenade was either useless or it wasn't it's job to do damage.
As I got out I saw that he was climbing a ladder on the side of the building and that he was almost on top.
I knew I wouldn't catch him in the traditional sense if I were to climb up the ladder so I took my sniper-scythe, and jumped and then pulled the trigger twice.
The knock back was strong enough to push me a meter over the building which allowed me to land.
As I ran after the surprisingly fast man we finally got to the end of the building, I saw that there a a lot of space there, meaning there was a main street which meant…
And he turned back towards me.
Goggle spy:"well, well, well…"
"Can you stop with the bloody wells already" I was exasperated at this point honestly why was he talking about wells he's a bad guy.
For some reason I was getting the feeling that he was being offended by something guessing by the way he moved after my interruption.
Goggle spy:"red you can't cut in on the villains monologue like that".
I blinked and then again did he think this was some kind of game?
Suddenly from the street behind him a bullhead rose to the air and he jumped on it.
I was shocked but not because it was a bullhead no if half of what I heard about them is true they shouldn't a have a problem getting a bullhead and old one of course not this majestic beast of death that was in front of me, I could clearly see through the black paint that this was one of the newer Atlesian models.
I'm pretty sure I could pierce the armor with my not so legal bullets but crashing the ship inside of the city… yea no thanks I want to be a hero not a killer.
Goggle Spy:"it's the end of the line Red!" He yelled as he threw another grenade at me.
I wasn't going to fall for that so I took aim at him just in time to realize this grenade was different from the one before.
I closed my eyes hoping that it won't be too powerful…
Boom
I felt nothing, no like really nothing I opened my eyes to see Ms Goodwitch standing in front of me her (snicker) weapon pointed at the bullhead with one of her dust tricks showing.
Honestly the weapon is pure genius it takes dust from everywhere around it (Goodwitch's clothes are infused with dust, specifically her cape) considering that guns are used practically by everyone she has made a weapon with unlimited ammo.
The empty shell on the ground now without dust was proof of that.
Considering also by the red/purple glow of the dust in the air and the fact I heard and explosion the google guy had a strong throw if she wasn't able to simply take all of the dust from the grenade and turn it into her dust shield.
The shield suddenly turned into 2 spear like constructs one red the other purple and they flew and hit the bullhead in the side, if this was a older model it would be rocketing from side to side but this bullhead took it like it was nothing.
The self proclaimed villain disappeared into the bullhead after those 2 hits, before the 2 dust spears could make another hit a figure came out, well coming out would be like calling a pistol a sniper rifle the figure was clouded in darkness the only thing I saw was her lower body which was clad in black clothing.
Before the spears could hit a fire wall appeared from nowhere, it destroyed 1/3 of the dust before Goodwitch stopped her attack run, Goodwitch then looked at me and nodded.
I took my Crescent Rose and started firing at the figure, the first shot hit something but the next was burned to ashes before it hit anything, still it got the Vital second Goodwitch needed to finish her assault and hit the bullhead again.
This time there was almost twice as much force as before as I saw Goodwitch adding more dust specifically from her cape.
The bullhead swayed a little and the person inside was shown, she was completely garbed in black with the only whiteness being a white skull on her gas mask, there were 2 small cylinders where the cheeks normally are, she also was wearing a hood.
Her gas mask had red lenses and for a second I thought I saw flames there but I decided it was a trick of the light as really what kind of semblance gives you fire on your eyes, plus she maybe he, had red lenses and I saw it's face for a second only, if you even call the persons mask a face.
Still I also noticed its arms were unnatural a bit, the figures body didn't move an inch after its hand took hold of something on the ship, those arms had to be really pumped full of Aura to not even move an inch.
The figure then did something unexpected she let go of whatever she was holding and pointed both of her arms at us…
Shoom
A stream of flames flew at me and Goodwitch, we dodged of course but still when we had the ship in our sights again it was already too far away to affect it in any meaningful way.
"I'm in trouble aren't I" I already knew the answer something about me not being ready or something, Goodwitch simply nodded.
Meanwhile
Normal POV
In a certain room 2 men were laying on a couch with bear bottles near them.
Goggle spy:"why were my men so incompetent today?" The man was wailing for the past hour.
The man was irritated 1 child should not be able to beat 3 spy gang members, even if she was a huntress in training.
Junior:"didn't ya know this is the new batch of recruits" at this he sighed "the old guys were sent to a place called 'Tartarus Facility' or something, don't know what it is since my clearance isn't high enough for that type of knowledge not even counting the fact that I'm on the frontline if you know what I mean, every second I can make a mistake and then I'd be caught and they'd want information, can't give what you don't have after all".
Goggle spy:"you know i think I recognize her from somewhere" said the man scratching his head, and ignoring his fellow criminal.
Junior:"did you know some punk as kid came today and wrecked my club".
Goggle spy:"really cause I though you simply liked hanging out with me" now listening because really who's stupid enough to attack THE CLUB.
Junior:"don't interrupt me ya twit" he sighed melodramatically "she wrecked my club after questioning me about Summer Rose".
Goggle spy:"why would she be asking questions about a person who lived way before her time?".
Junior"that's the best part she's a Dammed Branwen".
Goggle spy:"the kid survived the purge?".
Junior:"probably never set foot in Mistral since the MOSI is really good at finding them" he took a swig "bloody kid broke my nose and my 3 ribs".
Goggle spy:"getting beat up by little girls aren't we now?".
Junior:" first of all you too were beaten by a little girl…".
Goggle spy:"it's more of a strategic retreat" he interjected and added "second of all how was I supposed to know that my usual henchmen were replaced with newbies, while I was picking up a dust crystal from the floor I missed their fight" at this he huffed "all I saw was a god damn kid standing in the middle of 3 of my best men who could take on a huntress there on the bloody ground laying unconscious, in bloody seconds, of course I lost my nerve".
Junior:"yes anyway the kid's probably screwed over just like the rest of them with a fixation on strength" returning to the Branwen.
Goggle spy:"don't beat yourself over it you weren't trained to be a fighter, you're the brains of our operations in Vale".
Junior snorted like he heard the funniest thing in the world.
Junior:"we both know that's a fat lie the higher up is practically micro managing everything, I'm honestly thinking that his semblance is 'no need for sleep' cause no matter what time I call he is always up, very rarely does something happen wherever he his that has more priority than what's happening in Vale.
Back to Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose POV
Well this was an interesting experience I had to give a statement to the police about what happened so I told them everything I knew about the weaponry used and the now escaped suspects.
When the police said that they escaped Goodwitch's eyebrow twitched very hard sending me a message that the police force most likely let them go.
Now that I was alone with Goodwitch it came time for her 'how can you be so reckless' speech.
Glynda Goodwitch:"tell me do you even realize who you fought?".
I was getting a sinking feeling that it was someone important with the way she worded it.
Glynda Goodwitch:"don't answer I'll tell you it was spy CRA-b" at this she looked at me "he's a lieutenant in the spy gang" at this her glare became even more demonic somehow "who they are shouldn't be a mystery unless you were leaving under a rock" at this her glare still somehow intensified "which I know you weren't" at this she closed her eyes and took a deep breath "anyway Ozpin wants to talk to you about something right now".
I blinked the way that woman could change her mood (the pure speed) was astonishing to me, one second she's a Grimm demon and the next she's a teacher looking at a student.
We only had to wait 6 minutes before Ozpin finally arrived and sat at the table, and in that time I got bored… ugh really why couldn't we have talked about whatever he wanted to oh I don't know maybe at Beacon… oh my Monty.
Cookies!
I no longer cared that we were wasting time in here, I took a cookie and I started savoring it, only retards eat sweets as fast as possible, if you're poisoning yourself at least get the maximum amount of pleasure of it.
Ozpin:"miss Rose as you know you are 15 years old now.".
"Yes uhu" I said absentmindedly while continuing to eat my cookies.
Ozpin:"since your sister is starting Beacon officially, I decided that you too should attend classes as your fighting capabilities speak for themselves".
My heart stopped, the cookie almost fell out of my hand when the shock hit "yes" I was ecstatic sure I sometimes got to fight someone not my sister but those fights weren't usually great, sure sometimes I learned something new when I fought someone but other times I had done everything right, simply for them to have a cheaty semblance or be stronger in every aspect.
Finally I'll be able to attend classes even if I'll be 2 years younger than everybody else… FUCK.
Meanwhile
scientist POV
As the car entered another checkpoint, and I came deeper and deeper in to the facility I was in a very happy mood, it was a known fact that if you had 'morally questionable' experiments that you wanted to do you would go to Mistral.
I wanted to do experiments without Atlases 'moral superiority' on my back honestly they don't seem to understand that they can't afford it, and Mistral came along and said it would give me the funding.
Of course this wasn't the only reason I joined with them, they promised me knowledge so great they'd have to kill everybody associated with me to make sure the secrets wouldn't spill out into the world.
And the amount of guards and checkpoints I was seeing were very promising, this underground facility was titanic looking at the speed we were traveling and how long this was taking I could safely say that this facility was at minimum 3 kilometers long which is says a little about how many secrets and defenses are put here, the very possibilities are endless.
Suddenly the car stopped and the door opened I naturally came out and I saw many more guards standing under the walls and near doors.
The guards which on second thought wasn't surprising were all commando droids and I saw a few bone guards and veterans, this facility was a fortress.
As I walked 2 droids were flanking me, well I was more following them if anything.
Finally we came to a stop near a door, they took positions on the both sides of the door, I quickly came inside when it opened and was greeted with a sight of another scientist he to was dressed in a lab coat like me.
Senior Scientist:"so you're the new guy aren't ya?".
I was unsure if to answer this question for a second but then decided why not "yes".
Senior Scientist:"your file says that you want to learn about the Grimm does it not?".
"Yes it does" I answered remembering that that was what I wrote in it, really what's wrong with experimenting on the Grimm even if humans are needed for those experiments.
Senior Scientist:"Since you're new This'll explain to you how Grimm are made" at this a projector came down from the ceiling "if you have anymore questions I'll be back in an hour after the 'documentary' ends".
At this he walked out the same door and the projector came to life.
It showed a video feed of 4 MM walking in a cave, I could see they were all in the same place as the feeds were of the same cave with some minor differences when someone was father away from something.
As they were moving through the cave they entered a massive part of it almost room like in there was a hole in the middle with some kind of black goo, it really confused me why I was watching this when a figure emerged from the pool, the men looked at it a second before they opened fire with their rifles.
The figure was a Grimm.
That's where this video ended and a new one began, this time the black Grimm sludge like substance was in a laboratory since it was in some sort of room, and since it's a national secret it's obviously not a civilian building.
Then 4 people came in the Scientist from before, 2 MM and a man garbed in prisoner clothes, the soldiers were dragging him and he fought back as much as he could, though I was surprised that he was even trying those were Mistralian Marines I mean really what did he expect, for them to fall over?
They then pushed him to his knees and took out a knife…
My eyes widened when they slit his throat and he let out a gurgle as blood started to sip into the goo, the goo… assimilated or how normal people would say it turned the blood into more goo.
Of course you couldn't see this there was actually a weigh shown on the side and it increased a little bit not enough to see but enough to notice with the pressure plate shown on the sign which said that it(the pressure plate) was under the pool.
Then a Beowolve cam out and tried to kill the scientist before a Marine tackled it to the ground and started stabbing it with a knife.
The feed turned to another scene where instead of cutting the prisoner the Marines simply threw the man into the goo.
The man started screaming as he was being melted?
This time his entire body was assimilated into the goo, and you could see its size increase with the naked eye.
This time no Beowolve came out which surprised me a bit.
The next feed was with only 2 people and one of them was a Faunus I think it's a fox type, anyway the Faunus was torturing the prisoner and this time a few Beowolves came out just in time for marines to show up an kill them.
The feeds kept on coming and I saw many new experiments being shown with the goo, there were even charts that showed how many people in which ways had be killed for more Grimm to spawn, the ones that made the most Grimm were those where the prisoners felt the most pain and fear which now that I think about it was unsurprising.
Bigger pools of goo created bigger Grimm and the bigger the Grimm the more time it needed, for example while the Beowolve came out every 10 hours a Ursa came out every 20 hours from another Ursa making pool.
It was also fascinating that if you threw people in them they'd be fused into he goo enlarging it and quickening the making process.
After an hour of watching the most vile acts humanity could come up with the feed ended and the Senior Scientist entered.
Senior Scientist:"so any questions?".
"Actually just 1" at this I looked him in the eye "who are those prisoners" I was really concerned because I don't think that the regime would resort to kidnapping their own citizens… right?
Senior Scientist:"they're Branwen tribesmen" at this he had a devilish smile "finally got what they deserve".
"Weren't they all killed?" I asked suspiciously after all you could find anywhere the video of Regime battle droids slaughtering the Branwen.
Senior Scientist:"that's what we want the public to think, the droids guns have settings and they lowered the amount of dust used per shot until it wouldn't kill only knock them out, sure some of them died but a majority was simply knocked out and taken here" he sat down at a chair I didn't notice before and continued "why do you think Mistral is at the top when it comes to medical advancements?" After a dramatic at least to me pause he continued "it's because we've got human test subjects, testing on animals isn't as effective as some people think, you do realize that chocolate won't kill you like it will a dog don't you, some drugs work on animals while they don't work on people, others time it's the opposite the medicine works fine on people but doesn't on animals, to put it simply we don't miss medical advancements while those in Atlas do because they use animals to test their medicine".
Ahh one of those sad realities then.
Senior Scientist:"after all the Branwen did, you can think of it as them repaying humanity for all the wrongs they had committed before, after all without them we would have missed some medicine, consider my words as they'll makes you feel better about what you're going to be doing in this facility".
Salem POV
Scroll:"Beep".
I looked towards it Watts gave me one of humanities constructs so that we could communicate and so that he and Tyrian could inform me on the progress of his assignment.
"Tyrian have you accomplished the tasks I set before you?" I asked preparing for the worst possible news since it seems that's all that comes out of Mistral these days.
What the humans call Grimm whales are time consuming to replace, each takes about a decade to be created, since these Grimm ignored humans hunters ignored them, after all no attacks no problem.
Well Mistral didn't care about that a few years back they killed 1, which I ignored losing 1 of that type of Grimm isn't much but when they suddenly started pushing and the Grimm from the inner territories or how humans call them the Grimmlands were needed, then those whales started to disappear in unsustainable amounts considering how little Grimm wells have access to the sea.
Grimm whales were special because they could be filled with Grimm that then could enter through underground caves to the surface.
A genius idea if I say so myself they enter and leave through the mouth, or well whatever the humans would classify as a mouth.
Grievous found this out somehow and started hunting them into extinction in Mistrals surrounding waters which meant that all the Grimm in Mistral were made in Mistral, from the few Grimm wells remaining, well the ones still in nature I can feel them being taken somewhere and any Grimm that comes out only sees some kind of room.
They were generally killed very quickly upon being born so i knew nothing about their position only that they were somewhere in Mistral, for some unknown to me reasons they were increasing in size.
Not even my sea dragons can protect the whales efficiently as Mistral simply sent more underwater ships to blow up both types of the Grimm.
Tyrian Callows:"there's a problem"
"What is it" my irritation was reaching new heigh oh why did Grievous need to exist it was always me toying with humanity and their morality but now argh.
With grievous there always was a problem why can't he be like Ozpin who does nothing, some peace time would be nice.
Tyrian Callows:"we found the Fall maiden and fought her and we would have won but those damn Mistralian Marines started to appear, the maiden saw them as a greater threat and started an all out fire fight with them giving us time to make our escape, I would have fought longer but the kids Watt gave me reminded me that even if I were to kill the Maiden and the soldiers more would have come it that time surrounding us".
Damn Grievous to hell, not only did he stop me getting the fall maidens powers but hell also get it for himself, and just when Ozpin had no power to protect her in Mistral, such a opportunity given and taken away damn you Grievous.
"Get out of Mistral they most likely saw your face as such they'll be alert and they'll try to catch you".
Tyrian Callows:"but where too?".
At this I smiled as i remembered that there is a place where my plans were going according to plan "go to Vale and see if Watts needs you for anything".
Tyrian Callows:"very well my goddess".
"Before you leave did you accomplish did you do what I instructed you to with that rainbow dust crystal?".
Tyrian:"yes did what you told me to do with it, though I'm the one carrying it since the kids threw it away after supposedly hearing some kind of voices".
As Tyrian continued to complain about the kids Watts gave him I smiled viciously as I finally one upped the General.
Atlesian time
General Ironwood POV
"Is it true" I asked the scientist in front of me needing confirmation that in a few seconds I'd see the question that plagued me for years and that I always wanted answers too but never could find any.
Scientist:"yes it is, we found one droid on the Invisible hand, its memory wipe malfunctioned and we now know what happened to the 3 division".
"and what happened to them?" The only known information was that they were surrounded and then killed, though nobody knows how or where their bodies disappeared to as Atlesian Forces made a hole in Mistrals line to save them only to find nothing in the fort that the 3 division occupied.
Scientist:"here's a video of what happend it was a shock for me when I saw it so I'd recommend you sit down" at this he mentioned to the chair near me.
I complied and wondered what he was going to show me.
As the feed started to play on the screen I recognized the place as a hill outside of the 'ghost fort' as people came to call it, the droid who's eyes we were looking through had binoculars and was standing near a man dressed in a droid uniform.
Unknown man:"is everything ready?".
Droid:"yes the crews reported that they are ready to fire the fire load".
Unknown man:"fire" he waved his hand with a flourish.
The droid took out a medium ranged communicator used by the droid army and repeated the order.
For a second nothing happened and then there was thunder and rockets tens of them flew from behind the camera straight for the fort.
I knew something was wrong as I saw that fort personally it had no signs of heavy bombardment so something was fishy.
Then when the missiles hit they didn't explode.
There was some kind of commotion on the walls but the droids lenses didn't give a clear picture until it took the binoculars and looked.
There was some kind of red mist/gas in the fort and men were running around, some were grabbing their necks while others fell off the wall.
Shock then overcame me as I realized that I just witnessed the use of poison gas.
When the unknown man turned around I didn't recognize him for a second until his name hit me like a train.
The Red Baron
I never understood why he was called that in fact it wasn't a Atlesian given name only something his own men called him.
The reason I didn't recognize him was because half of his face was burned off I could see the muscles and the teeth.
The feed continued and we saw where the men were buried and the fact that it was also them who deleted all cameras and their audio hiding what transpired in the ghost fort.
Scientist:"we found the bodies while most of the 'poison gas' was gone already there still remains a trace of red dust".
"Bloody fire freak" I muttered to myself, well at least I now know to add some anti gas vents on the ships and new forts.
And end
'Why let a little racial hatred get in the way of good grades' this is from Extra History a YouTube channel which covers how everyone by the last line guessed it history.
Anyway I was watching the crusades again (this is where this quote idea comes from) and couldn't stop laughing as this was so well used.
Finally it's here first episode of Vol 1 with some additions, the first episodes were very short so I've decided to add some things since they are cannon and they were to be added, so might as well add to the short ones instead of making extra long chapters and short chapters.
If you're unsure about something (I might have worded something wrong) then pm and I'll explain as it's harder to put ideas into words then it is to think of them.
I wanted to get this chapter out before school begins so that I could live through that chaos that's always in the begging of the school year not having my thoughts being occupied by fanfics.
Other then that review
