All right so I have some things to explain. This chapter is written slightly differently than the previous. I feel that this way of writing is much easier for me, I also think it yields better grammar. Also…I can technically fit less into each chapter. I hope this way will make things more clear and will also make plot points more understandable. After reading this chapter ask you self this, "Self do I understand what's going to happen?" If the answer is yes then I shall continue this new and improved writing style. Also apologies for this chapter being a little short.
Roman Torchwick stood on the upraised plinth and tapped his cane between his feet. Every three seconds a tap, Roman wasn't an impatient man, but having been told to meet someone where he was standing; the person requesting his presence hadn't show up yet. "How long has it been?" Roman yelled to his left, a goon stood there. The goon looked at the timepiece he pulled out of his pocket and said, "It has been five hours sir. You are incredibly patient."
"I've reached my limit, hunt him down…no. I fear the man who requested my presence really wants my death, stay with me just in case and send for some men." Roman ordered.
"And what should I have the men do, sir?" The goon asked.
"Ah, well let's see…oh I don't know, maybe kill the man forcing me to wait five hours, and for what? Nothing!" Spit almost flew out of Roman's mouth as he yelled, but sopping he turned back the way he had been facing and saw something peculiar. A coach attached to a horse was approaching. 'Odd method of transport, then again this madman is…well a madman.'
"I think I know why sir that the man has taken so long, he traveled by carriage." The goon said kind of stating the obviously.
"Yes I you haven't noticed what I want from him is vital, and I must have it. I think he had spies watching me to see if I would leave, but I will not! What's mine is mine, and I will not move from this area until I have it!" Roman said striding up to the carriage. The horse upon Roman's approach reared up and slashed the air with its hooves; Roman felled the animal with a hot bolt of fire dust from his cane. After sliding the reticule back in, and the bottom of the can sliding back in Roman approached the carriage. Before he could get to it however the door flew open and a distraught man stumbled out yelling, "It's impossible! You could not have waited this long, nothing is this precious to a man?"
"And with that statement I know you belong in the insane asylum called hell!" With those words Roman drove his cane into the man's face, cracking his skull and dealing a deadly strike. As the man slumped over dead, Roman stepped to the open door of the carriage and pulled out the one, the one thing that he had been searching for. A woman whose name would user in a war so terrible that most humans wouldn't survive. But, and Roman hopped that when he delivered Katharine Chaos, that Grimm would be satisfied and spare the Faunus and slay the humans.
Roman knew that the deal he had struck with Grimm had rather been like striking a deal with the devil, this only meant one thing; that Grimm would spare the Faunus while leaving the humans dead. 'That deal will only work if I get Katharine to Grimm in time, that damn bastard gave me a deadline and I'm on the others side of Remenant! Grimm asked me to deliver Chaos to the place where his army will pour forth from his realm.' Roman thought this while he carried the woman slung over his shoulder.
The goon approached and Roman handed her off to him, when the grunt slung Chaos over his shoulder he nearly fell over. But he righted himself almost immediately, clearly signaling to Roman that he was only surprised at Chaos's weight. "Sir, is she supposed to be this heavy?"
"Oh but of course, Chaos is a busty woman! Those extra curves don't weight anything now hurry up! I need to get inside and away from the natives, those damned savages will tear both of us apart once they realized we've stolen their 'princess' and murdered their 'chief'. I mean for the love of…they're both slaves!" Roman huffed as he walked through the door into a garage. "Here put her in the coffin inside the Hearse but keep the coffin lid open! We want Chaos alive once we deliver her to Grimm."
It took a bit of finesse but the goon eventually got Chaos in the coffin on her back with her arms crossed hands tucked into her elbows. Roman then snuck up behind the goon and blew his brains out all over the ground behind the Hearse. "Sorry, oh wait I'm not. I knew you weren't a Faunus. Did you think you could fool me! Damn spy…but I'm glad I took you with me." Roman said to himself referring to the dead human behind him as he drove the Hearse away. "This way no one will know what I've done, except Grimm. That lovely fellow seems to just love collecting the souls of the recently deceased and collecting their last memories. Well ha! I've given Grimm, not one but two souls to glean the information that I now have his precious Chaos captive."
Roman leaned out of the window and shouted up at the sky, "You hear me Grimm? I have your Chaos!" Roman chuckled and drove all the way to the White Fang convoy, which escorted him to a secluded town built near a dust mine. Thanks to the experimental lab in the town, and the wealth of dust at hand Roman was able to procure enough energy dust to power a stolen cargo plane; the stolen energy wouldn't be enough to land properly once Roman and his entourage of White Fang members got back to the continent where the city of Vale resided.
Roman planned to crash the plain on the new Beacon rebuilding sight, thanks to his network of Faunus spies with traits less noticeable so they could blend in with humans better, Roman knew that the rebuilding of Beacon was under threat of being halted. Roman discerned from the fact that the project was continuing that Ozpin, the current headmaster there, had struck some sort of deal. Roman suspected…no he knew that he reason people didn't want Beacon rebuilt was because of the dangers woven into it's most recent history. Roman planned to remind everyone why they shouldn't let Beacon to be rebuilt by crashing the plane into the town nearest where Beacon was being rebuilt.
Roman turned to Cinder sitting next to him and commented, "Won't it be wonderful? All those humans dead, and who will they blame?"
Cinder sighed and said, "They will blame the Faunus."
"Which will then give us plenty of reason to declare all out war…oh yes Cinder it will be the second Great War and it will be fought between the Faunus and the Humans!" Roman affirmed…however little did roman know that the war wouldn't be between just the humans and Faunus, Grimm's forces would also join in attempting to slaughter both races while they were fighting amongst each other.
