Spells and Louds.
Chapter 657: The Remnants and the Crest.
(Amity Tower.)
Currently now, Amity Tower is high above the island of the Grimm and there is no need to fear the Grimm flyers from coming, the place has the same energy as the Xel'Naga Keystone and is keeping them away from the tower.
The whole place is still being modified and enhanced for anything that could transpire, and that means more resources are coming in and they too are safe from any threats from the Grimm on the island.
Professor Pietro Polendina is once again hard at work, making sure that all systems are running smoothly on the tower and Maria, is nowhere to be seen. Some have thought she is on the island and with a security and observation team checking on the local Grimm.
After all, she fought Grimm before and she knows a thing or two when it comes to those big beasts of death. But in the tower, we also have Luna, Sam and Gyro.
"Dude, this tower is still super wicked and awesome. But when the heck does this place become complete?" asked Luna.
Gyro smirks. "That is something I am not sure of, chances it'll be done when the time is right, and there is a whole lot of stuff to do in this place that makes things all the more complicated to handle. FutureTech is still adding new stuff to make sure Amity Tower doesn't go through the same ordeal as the last one from the Vytal Festival."
Sam and Luna recall that story, from the words of Professor Polendina and from Penny long ago. The whole event was shattered and turned a sunder when the Grimm struck and all because of Cinder and her associates, and the rogue White Fang who were led by Adam Taurus.
"I guess that sounds fair" said Luna. "We wouldn't want this thing to become the next disaster, and to cause so much mayhem. That was actually the first time Salem won and took down many things, but mostly the spirit of the folks from Vale."
"And that is never ever gonna happen again." They all see Prof. Polendina repairing one of the Protoss Probes, and then he lets it fly to continue the work. "When this tower does come back to remnant and is at full capacity, Salem and her allies will find it hard to take this one down."
"With the new systems and defenses, they won't be able to do anything to bring this tower down, and we can turn the tide of any attack Salem has in store, and we will avenge what we lost from not just Vale, but from everything that has happened since Salem struck."
"He's not wrong" said Gyro. They all look to the Guardian.
"The whole battle from Vale did so much damage both mentally and physically to everyone across Remnant, and thus the chains of destruction were set in motion and then made their way to the rest of Remnant, and that path went onward to Menagerie, Mistral and then Atlas and Mantle."
"The whole course was then set with lies and betrayal and it started when the rogue White Fang struck, followed by the supposed death of Sienna Khan, then came Lionel and his association with Salem and last but not least, the whole outbreak of chaos and attacks onto Mantle."
They all recall that one, General James Ironwood, being pushed to the brink of insanity and losing his focus on the bigger picture and risking so much for Atlas and not giving a damn about Mantle, and taking the relics for himself to save Remnant, when he was abandoning everything of life.
"Well, if Amity Tower is gonna go back to Remnant, then you can count on us to have your backs" said Luna. "Because we also want some revenge for what happened to Penny."
"We all have our sights locked onto the bastard who killed her, Cinder Fall" said Sam. "And we know that Pyrrha wants some of that action too."
Gyro nods. "Yes, that is true and not just to avenge Penny, but to also avenge the loss of team RWBY, along with Jaune and she's still on the road to reclaiming what was supposed to be granted to her, the powers of the Fall maiden."
Now that is something they haven't forgotten, just then Luna has a message and she checks who it's from and it's from her kid, Lincoln and so Sam goes over and checks what it has to say.
Lincoln: Mom, Katie Crest is here! I repeat, she's here and she's looking for you and from what we were told from Michelle Lewis, she isn't gonna leave until she speaks with you and the band. Sunset already called Sully and Mazzy, but we need you and Sam back here, now.
Luna and Sam didn't like the looks of this. They needed to go and deal with this before things turn sideways real fast.
"Well, it's been fun being here dudes, but we gotta get going." Luna and Sam jump off the tower and they ride on the back of Sindragosa and the Frost Wyrm picks up speed and heads back to Royal Woods.
Professor Polendina then goes back to work, and he sees an SCV arrives to inform him of the now completed transmitter tower, now the communications are online and long ranged.
Gyro looks to the island of the Creatures of Grimm, and then he recalls something. 'The device that Martin made, didn't save all the Grimm from the control of Salem, and that's because it was made with the same energy and essence of the keystone, and so it wasn't enough.'
'Perhaps if I reason with Artanis, the he could let us borrow the Xel'Naga Artifact and if we charge it to a point of such high degree, then we could be able to get thousands or more Grimm out of the control of Salem, now that sounds like a good victory to me. I just need to setup a meeting with the Hierarch.'
Then he sees the Tie Reaper Advanced coming, which only means one thing. "Hollow, what the hell does that Sith Lord want this time?" Gyro and Prof. Polendina then go to the main hangar and check on what business does Hollow seek.
But when Hollow comes out, he has a briefcase. "You guys need to see this."
(Spellman Estate.)
We go to Spellman Estate and we see the rest of the band, along with Luna looking to the woman who came to the house, Katie Crest and Chunk is with her as well.
Lincoln is also there, along with Michelle Lewis, Sunset Shimmer and Linka. The rest of the team and family are busy, even Jordan wanted to be there, but she had something else to do and that something else involved checking on her hive cluster in town.
They all didn't like the presence of this lady in the house, and Katie Crest doesn't seem to like Michelle Lewis either. "Alright, so let me cut to the chase on why I am here. Luna Spellman, and your band, I would like to have the rest of you become part of the summer rock tour around the country."
"Chunk here is locked, stocked and loaded for the whole event, and I have a band also ready for the whole thing, but we could really use another band and after what you guys did on stage last month…. Now that is something I wanna have on the tour, and you Luna Spellman can lead that band."
"Because while I manage everything needed for the whole gig, Chunk can lead the band that I assigned, and you can lead your band when the time comes to really shred on stage and show everyone just whose boss when it comes to rock and roll."
"And who knows, maybe you could become the next Mick Swagger, if I do recall you are the girl who idolized the legend and he is the sole reason why you have the musical talent. So, what do you say, Luna?"
Luna looks to the others and she gets up and they all talk to each other in the other room, and even Sunset Shimmer, Lincoln, Linka and Michelle Lewis join in. Their Pokémon remain on guard so Katie Crest doesn't listen in.
The woman gets up and wants to know what they're talking about, but then Chunk gets up. "Chester, what the heck are you doing?"
"Katie, I know you wanna talk to the band, but the best idea is to not get involved. Let them sort this out, and then they can tell ya what they think. Trying to snoop on them is just gonna make things worse, and if something does turn bad, then I warned ya."
Seeing no chance into knowing what they are going to talk about, she decides to stop and goes back to her seat, and so does Chunk. But then they see the group come back. "So, what's it gonna be Spellman?"
Luna and the others look to each other and nod. "We're gonna go with a no on the whole thing, dude."
Katie Crest's smile feels like it's been shattered and she chuckles. "Wait, wait. Hang on, I think I misheard you Luna, but did you just say no?"
Luna nods. "You heard me and I know you ain't deaf either. We're gonna go with a no on the whole thing, and that's final dude."
Katie Crest is confused. "Wait, what the heck? Why?! This is an opportunity of a lifetime and you can't just let it…"
Sam gets up. "We're not gonna be pawns in the little scheme of yours, and we're not gonna abandon our friends, family and loved ones just to make you stupid ass rich and famous, and we don't need to go through that when the whole of the realms has known who we are."
"Also, Sully and I see the whole music gig as a hobby we could do on occasions" said Mazzy. "We have our own plans for the future and it doesn't involve touring around the country."
"She has a point" said Sully. "Also, going on tour would mean we'd be making mistakes that would ruin ourselves and bring shame to a lot of the friends and family we know and love."
Luna gets up and she confronts the woman. "No matter what you say, or what you do or what crazy scheme you have in mind… No means no, and so I suggest you take it, unless you wanna provoke me."
Katie Crest then sees the glare from the teenager and the glares from everyone else and she knows she's outgunned and outnumbered, but she does take a small glance at Lincoln, and then she looks towards Luna in anger.
"Fine, be that way. You'll regret this Spellman!" She then takes her leave and then Chunk gets up.
"Well, that is your choice and I understand, I really do."
The others go towards Chunk. "Chunk the tour is your dream and we don't wanna take you away from it" said Luna. "But we just want you to be careful."
"She's right" said Sam. "Katie Crest might be up to something, and you and the band might be in the epicenter of the whole thing, and the one thing we don't want is you getting hurt from whatever plans she has made."
Michelle Lewis goes towards Chunk. "Here." She hands him a small device. "If she has something scheming, and you're in range of hearing the whole thing, turn this on and it'll send back the transmission and we can make sure she's stopped before she does anything."
Chunk nods and looks to everyone. "I know what to do gang, I am the roadie and have always been loyal to the folks I call friends, and I am not going to let that mad woman get away with anything she has planned. I got this mates."
They watch as Chunk leaves the house and gets into his own ride and he follows Katie Crest out of town, they all have a bad feeling about Katie Crest, and they know that deep down. She has something in store for them, and they have to be prepared for what is to come from that woman.
To be continued in the next chapter.
A/N: Katie Crest might have something up her sleeve, and we can only guess it might involve the one she cares for the most, and that would be her son, Lincoln. What the hell did Hollow have? No clue, but it could lead to a crossover. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
