(Chapter 1)
Salem's Cathreadral:
Salem sat in her chamber, thinking, she had moved here after the kingdom of Atlas had been established, the floating city with the Mobile, flotilla, while human creativity was perhaps the Greatest assets of the God's gifted to humanity, it was also there glaring weakness,
Atlas,
General Ironwood,
Her previous allies had been dead for a while she would need new ones, and already she had one messanger who she could recruit more to her will,
"Donovan.." Salem called as by the door an aging. Man with a cane came by limping, much of his body had been replaced with cybernetics but this caused him to be top heavy,
"Yes lady Salem." He Said as he gasped in pain from the little exertion he gave to his body,
"I need you to go and find us some new allies, with the death of Grey, and Hound. We will need new replacements." She said
Donovan wasn't stupid he knew he had given the last bit he could to his firend, and she would not need him anymore,
"Yes Lady Salem, tell me, is there anyone you have in mind for my replacement?" He asked
Salem shut her eyes in sadness, as contrary to belief she did have feeling after the Grimm took control of her body, and not only that she loved her friends she had. And each time one of the people that had failed her has died she swore not only revenge but of course vengeance for those she got to know,
Salem sighed
"Donovan, take one person from each of the kingdoms I will give you your discretion as to whom." Salem Said
"Understood my lady, and for what it's worth...I'm sorr-.
"Stop." Salem cut her off, making Donovan pause
Salem turned to him revealing the tears in her eyes
"You did not fail me, you are, and will always be my firend, If anything I'm sorry, I didn't end this in time to see the world you wanted, please find us more friends, remember Ozma doesn't have friends he has pawns, none of them know his secrets, and none of them know my husband as I do. Please go Donovan…" Salem Said
Donovan nodded and left the room
Salem sitting on her bed growled and punched the desk breaking it, as she screamed.
"Arrgh!"
(Beacon) [Ozpin's office]
Ozpin turned away from the door looking out the window, as he stirred his coffee,
By his side was his deputy headmistress Glynda goodwitch, who remained silent,
"You know she was too young and too rash for that mission Ozpin." She said
"What's done is done Glynda…" Ozpin Said with a cold tone,
Glynda was shocked with the coldness of his voice sighed as she turned to the door "then I hope you get what's coming to you." She said
"I will be in my office grading papers," she said as she went to the elevator and found the hulking mass of Hazel Reinhardt in the door
"Glynda…" Hazel Said
"Mr Reinhardt, I was just going… the headmaster is waiting for you." Glynda Said Hazel nodded and let her pass as he came into the room and sat down in a chair.
"Mr Reinhardt...it has come to my attention that due to a training accident your sister Gretchen Reinhardt has been killed along with her team,
Hazels eyes widened in shock and his heart stopped
'No…' he asked
(Atlas) [Military R&D department]
Dr Arthur Watts was working on a holotable, scores of notes around him, papers and plans thrown aside as a tall tower stood on the screen with the looks of it being simple and easy to build, and over a wide array of them could keep a constant flow of communications even if a major CCTV tower was destroyed. Although the idea of such an attack was widely considered impossible Dr. Watts was a man of failsafes, he would have to be able to fall back even if he didn't get funding.
"Doctor Watts, General Ironwood would like you to see him." A intercom intern Said Doctor Watts sighed as he transferred all his papers and research into his scroll and made a backup of it, on his personal device,
"Understood tell the General I'm on my way." he said as he left the lab, and turned off the light.
Watts walked the halls and found many of the other more experienced Scientist eyeballing him with contempt, many of them had been there for Nearly 50 years and yet Dr Authur Watts has gotten more fame and recognition in 20 years then anyone else would have in there life,
With his name being printed next to the famed Dr Merlot, and Jacease Schnee, and while the fact his Androids he created were used by both companies it also helped he was a major friend with both although with the death of Dr. Merlot his own two customers were The schnee's and the Military. But he was also a smart businessman,
Dr Watts entered the headmasters office and looked around, and General Ironwood was groaning as he favored his right arm,
"I've come as you wish of me General." Watts Said
General Ironwood sat up, his pain replaced with a smile although in the back of his eyes Watts could still tell the pain was still there.
"Arthur." James Ironwood Said as he motioned to take a seat,
Dr Watts did so and after making sure no one else could hear he leaned forward and whispered
"How is the replacement holding you for you?" He asked
Ironwood snapped a quick glare at him before he pressed a button and the door behind him shut, and locked itself,
General Ironwood sighed "the Metal Arm amd leg you've given me has been a major help thanks to you." He Said
Arthur Watts could sense a but coming,
Fortunately he didn't have to wait as Ironwood rolled his sholder.
"Unfortunately it is a little Tight." He said
Arthur Watts nodded, "I apologize would you like me to make some adjustments?" He asked as he went to get up,
Ironwood held his hand to keep him sitting, "there is no need Watts, that is not why I called for you." He said
"What then has called me to see you Sir?" Arthur asked
"Unfortunately it's has to do with a scandal that has popped up." Ironwood Said as he pressed a button and the screen lit up with a newspaper
"Legend Atlas Scientist Tortures 18 year old girl for Computer AI."
Arthur Watts was shocked and appalled,
"General Ironwood this is absurd you were with me when we did the testing for the new Generations of computer AI you know I brought no humans into this!" Arthur Watts Said
General ironwood sighed
"Yes I do my friend, unfortunately, we cannot tell who published this, and I'm afraid I cannot stop an investigation of all your work." James Ironwood Said
Arthur Watts took a deep breath,
"All my work?" He asked
"Yes Arthur, even the stuff that I allowed that would be immoral, I'm sorry my friend but the council have ordered a supoena, my hands are tied." He said
"I understand...then I will pack my things I highly doubt you can have me still employed as your service, my only wish is that you please give my research to someone capable." He Said
"I will deliver it personally to them you have my word." He said
Arthur Watts nodded and left the office
As he went to the lab he found many of the Scientist snickering at him as he walked past, while before he would have his head held high he was now a disgrace.
As he entered his lab and turned the light on he found the lab trashed, files spilled, papers ripped up, it appears the room was used for military training practice not as a research lab,
Dr Watts growled as he packed up all he could and took his leave, stuffing the papers that were legible in his briefcase and headed out.
Unfortunately as he went to head out two atlas Security Guards went to enter,
"Dr, Arthur Watts, by the orders of General James Ironwood you are to come with us to see him." The first guard said
"I just finished speaking with him, what has changed that the General would need to speak to me so urgently?" Watts asked
The guard's looked to each other
Arthur watts noticed they were tense and were slowly reaching for there guns
In an act of self preservation and a move that saved his life he shut the door of his lab and locked it as two shots were fired and hit the door.
" damn it!" The guards said
Arthur watts vaulted over the table and opened a drawer and after tossing out the junk in it and pocketing a hard drive of all his backups he found the single Atlas Pistol he kept hidden as he smacked in a clip he looked up as the door exploded
" fan out. Find him, take him alive if possible, dead if no other option." The guard said as they filed into the room with breach and clear tactic's
Watts sighed and against his best judgement he dropped the pistol and raised his hands up
" wait...I surrender." He said
The atlas guards looked at each other and after handcuffing Watts they escorted him to the landing pad
As he stood over the edge of the platform he looked to see the Androids he created and not even out of testing the Atlesian Knight 200 model was the one escorting him
He smiled perfect he can take control of them and flee into obscurity.
As he waited he looked to see several Manta's and drop ships flying around
" well it looks like you've set up a seclusion zone…" he said as one of the guards nudged him
" quiet." He said as Watts looked over to see a Manta coming into descant
As it landed Arthur watts was pushed forward nudged by the officers
After the forth push he was on the ramp and made a show by moving in such a way that the cuffs slipped the sensor unlocking them as he used him momentum to run too the edge and turn around on the edge and gave a cheeky smile as he fell off the edge
The guards ran over to the edge as they looked down but didn't see him as they sighed and walked away.
Unaware of them Arthur watts hug from the edge of the platform. He growled as the ships passed by as business as usual.
' I need to get down to mantle I can't stay in the city or on this continent…' he said to himself as he started to climb
( Vacuo)
The streets of Vacuo there is only one rule the strong survive
" hey get back here!" A man called as a fanus ran around the corner clutching a loaf of Bread as big as he was
" god damn thief?" The shopkeepers said
The faunas Weaved around people and as he looked ahead he noticed armed guards trying to block his path, the guy smiled sadistily and the brown belt he wore around his waist was revealed to be a scorpion tail.
The guy slammed his tail on the ground and lifted his feet and kicked 2 guards down allowing him to run past
Off to the side of the street a man looked past his hood as the fanuas ran Away.
The man broke the crowd and followed him into the ally.
After a day of hunting he found the fanuas hunched behind a dumpster.
He looked up and growled as he pulled himself away
" what do you want?" He growled
" you seem quite skillful with yourself have you lived on the street long?"
The fanuas laughed "he's no where to go...they say thing's...he's not right in head, creep, insane!
Tyrian Callows says he's not insane, just that no one else around is either...hehehehehe…
The man nodded and lowered his hood. And Tyrian gasped " you…" he said as he stood up and circled around him, " are you...a profit?" He asked
The man raised an eyebrow at him. " I wouldn't take Tryian Callows to be religious…"
In response Tryian hunched over and laughed " Heheheh HAHAHA! They...they think the poison...poison warped his mind… but Tryian knows...magick is real." He said
Unfazed the man smiled " really?" He said Tryian nodded eagerly.
" well good because it is real. And I happen to work for a person who happens to make magick…" he said
Tryian gasped as he reeled back " do you work for a goddess?" Tryian asked the man nodded.
"And she wants too see you." He said as he stood up and headed out
" just...one question...what is your name?" He asked
" my name is Donovan." He said as they headed out.
On the sea ship heading out Tryian and Donovan stood by the railing
"Tell me how many servants did our goddess have?" Tryian asked looking out to the ocean
" none…" Donovan said making Tryian scoff " some goddess then…" he said only to find a hand clutching his neck by the old man with iron strength
" gah…" Tryian gasped
" listen here bud, I've been in our lady's service since I found her at the age of 10, Salem doesn't have servants...she has allies...and if your lucky...she may even consider you a friend." Donovan said in sadness
Tryian didn't say anything for a while just stayed there, finally Donovan released his hand making Tryian fall back only for Donovan to grab his shirt and hoist him up again.
" now we must go off the radar no scroll's no nothing ok?" Donovan said
He looked behind him to see Tryian gone
Donovan huffed as he too vanished…
