Chapter 4 - Mansion Escape and Planning!
*The opening begins with the main characters Sora and Res standing on a world that has a blue ocean and an early evening blue sky with clouds. The theme 'Face my Fears' by Utada Hikaru begins to play.*
*Breath, should I take a deep? Faith, should I take a leap?*
*A new scene shows the vessel of the ancient Keyblade Foreteller Luxu who now goes by his new name Xigbar currently watching them via the Gazing Eye and flashing a smirk.*
*Taste, what a bittersweet! All my, all my life…*
*Meanwhile, Luxu's friends - Aced, Invi, Ira and Gula - make their mark on the alternate Realm of Light by keeping an eye on Sora and Res while setting up different tests for them to pass on new worlds.*
*Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears! (Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears!)*
*The next scene shows the alternate version of Kairi sharpening the corrupted version of Destiny's Embrace all the while looking at a picture of the boy that used to love before he betrayed them all. It made her angry and determined to kill him and avenge everyone that she cared about.*
*Oh, let me face, let me face, let me face my fears! (Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears!)*
*The music begins to pick up as Sora and Res are currently in the world of Remnant and preparing to attack the Heartless, Nobodies and Grimm who have come together. Both brandish their Keyblades and charge forward.*
*Won't be long, won't be long, I'm almost here! Watch me cry all my tears…*
*A new scene shows chess board pieces being flung into the air before two of them are caught by a gloved hand and twirled around its finger by a mysterious entity sitting on a throne of some kind.*
*Lose, soon I'll have nothing to… Space, I guess that's what I choose…*
*The entity places the pieces down on a chessboard along with two others - one of a goat head while the other of the corrupted version of Destiny's Embrace. He gave a chuckle as this scene comes to a close…*
*A mile, could you walk in my shoes? All your, all your life…*
*Meanwhile, Luxu and the Foretellers meet at an unknown location to discuss the recent events involving Sora and Res' movements around the alternate Realm of Light.*
*Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears! (Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears!)*
*Res and Sora arrive on a world of pirates where they assist in taking down a ghost/zombie monster known as LeChuck. The immortal menace attempts to use the Heartless to further his goals.*
*Oh, let me face, let me face, let me face my fears! (Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears!)*
*In a new world, the two children battle Heartless alongside a young boy who has a shield attached to his wrist and a raccoon-like human girl. All of them are standing side-by-side to protect each other.*
*Won't be long, won't be long, I'm almost here! Watch me cry all my tears!*
*The song picks up as the scene flashes to the real Realm of Light where the real Kairi is training by herself on some dummies and preparing for her journey to search for Sora.*
*Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears! Oh, let me face, let me face, let me face my fears!*
*The opening comes to a close as Sora and Res are preparing themselves for the fight against the alternate Kairi and Xigbar. Both are confident that they shall win no matter what.*
*Won't be long, won't be long, I'm almost here! Watch me cry all my tears…*
*Soon, the screen goes black as Sora and Res stand to attention wielding their Keyblades as the opening logo 'Out of this World!' appears. 'Face my Fears' ends.*
*Watch me cry all my tears…*
Two voices could be heard scolding - an older one and a young one. Res and Sora looked at one another before they peeked out through the small open crack to see what was going down:
It belonged to two individuals - a young woman who was somewhat around Sora and Res' ages along with an older man.
The young woman featured pale skin with her eyes depicting a pale blue color while her long white hair was completely pulled back into an off-center ponytail or braid on the right side and pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara.
A scar rang down vertically at her left eye and face while her clothes depicted her of rich nobility. It started with a short, glittering dress with a color gradation of gray blue to pale blue at the hem along with a sweetheart neckline and a white, tulle petticoat. Next was the white sash that was wrapped multiple times around her waist, over the outfit she wore a slightly sheer long-sleeved gray blue bolero fastened at the collar with a large sapphire broach that has three pendants dangling from it.
A mysterious snowflake-like crest in a white color was printed at the back with her shoes being a pair of gray blue wedge heels and the only pieces of jewelry that both teens saw were the sapphire drop earrings on both ears.
The older man featured fair skin and white, slicked-back hair like the young woman but there were two key differences - a large thick mustache and a pair of blue eyes that depicted coldness. His attire was a pure white double-breasted blazer with a red handkerchief in the breast pocket. Underneath, he wore a light-blue dress shirt, vest and a white clip-on tie printed with the same emblem on his shoes. A silver-colored ring was featured on his right hand.
Sora and Res weren't sure just yet… but something seemed off about the old guy. They both felt worried about the young woman in the room and it didn't help that the tall and dressed male individual was having a look of anger on his face.
"Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable! Do you have any idea how much your stunt cost us!? Me!? How could you, Weiss!?"
Weiss Schnee flinched at the scolding and angry tone of her father who was pacing back and forth. "I was just-"
"Don't! Do you have any idea what your reckless performance at the party has cost us!? Me!? Our reputation! Our…" Jacques Schnee sighed heavily and continued to pace back and forth in front of her.
To say that he was angry with her was an understanding - losing her temper, berating a member of the Atlas nobility, summoning a Schnee Family Glyph and attempting to attack said member though was the last straw! Because of her actions, now people will start to spread rumors that his own daughter had attacked Atlas nobility! James' words didn't help in the slightest… how dare he agree with her over the head of the SDC or the people that he was governing!
Weiss should be damned well lucky that he was around to save her because if she wasn't his daughter then he would gladly give her over to James and-
"I'm leaving." Weiss spoke as Jacques froze completely and turned to her with a bewildered look.
"Repeat yourself, NOW. Because I'm sure I didn't understand you the first time." Jacques sarcastically ordered her and dared to say that to his face again.
Weiss glared at him. "Let me make this simple so that an old man like you can understand - I want to leave… today. I have no intention of staying in Atlas. Certainly not with you or anyone else."
Jacques' fury reached an unquestionable point. "Young lady, I don't give a damn about what you want!"
"Well, too bad! I'm doing it!" Weiss crossed her arms and continued to glare at him.
"Listen to me, little lady! I am not letting you run away from this manor no matter what! You won't muddy the family name anymore with your actions and excuses! This is the Schnee Family, YOUR FAMILY NAME AND MINE, I advise you to remember it!"
Weiss scoffed and smiled. "Your family name? Ha! Last I checked, this is my legacy and not yours. You're the one who is dragging it through the mud."
Jacques had enough and Weiss didn't even sense it until it was too late. What she did feel was a red mark on her cheek as she flinched a bit. She couldn't believe it! Her own father had just slapped her… on the face! She was in pure disbelief!
Jacques had lost his look of anger and his face was now one of pure indifference. "No. You won't do anything. This behavior of yours is unacceptable. You will not be going anywhere without my permission, you will not do anything. You think escaping like your sister will make the family name stronger? You're clearly off the rails, young girl."
Weiss still rubbed her cheek but didn't stop the glare directed at her father. "I'm not off the rails, you bastard. I'm not going to waste my time being stuck in this absolute hellhole with you or any of the people of Atlas. The family name is mine to carry as a legacy and I'll do it as a Huntress!" She declared to see if her father would react.
To her disappointment, all he did was shake his head. "No. As per my order, you will remain here and be under my constant vigilance all day and night. You will not do anything without my consent or leave the manor unless I say so. You won't leave Atlas. Consider the position as heiress of the Schnee Dust Company revoked, little girl."
Weiss froze in horror… no, he couldn't do that! He can't revoke the title from her! If he remains as the SDC head, how is she supposed to fix and undo everything that her father had done?
"W-what!? You are insane! Who do you plan on giving the reign to the Dust Company!?" Weiss asked.
Jacques fixed his tie. "Whitley. Unlike you, he knows how to obey. He'll be the next head in the future. Just like how I revoked the company from your sister, I'll be doing it to you as well. Until you and I come to an agreement in the future, this is the current form of punishment."
With everything said on his mind, Jacques turned to leave as Weiss was in disbelief. "I'm your prisoner!?"
"In a way. You are my daughter but this tantrum of yours has gone on long enough. It's time to wake up and face reality, little brat. The trauma at Beacon was too much for you to handle… hence why you've graciously and acceptably handed all power to your brother. Wake up and accept your punishment." Jacques finished before opening the door.
However, to make sure that Weiss would attempt any stupid tricks, he walked over and picked up the case containing the rapier weapon known as Myrtenaster. "What are you doing!?" Weiss was shocked.
Her father paid no attention as he left the room; however the white-haired girl was determined to not let him snatch her one and only weapon so as to not feel entirely powerless. After leaving and closing the door to catch up to him, she didn't even see the dresser being opened with two teens exiting it.
(Sora and Reseliee's POV - Following Weiss' departure...)
"Finally… glad to be out of there." Res groaned as she stretched her arms along with Sora who was doing the same as her.
However, there was a huge frown on his face… a frown that was trying its best not to make way for a furious expression. Res noticed it and realized what he was thinking about.
"A massive punch to that prick for abusing that girl… Weiss, right?" Res asked.
Sora's response was a nod. "More than just a punch but… we can't just attack him. We could get arrested or something."
"Exactly… and I have a feeling that this household won't be of much help to us. But we can't just sit idly by and let that prick abuse her. Maybe the police can offer some help?" Res suggested.
That was a good idea although after some mild thinking, Sora spoke once more. "While that is a plausible suggestion, I don't think they'll be of any help… you heard what Weiss said: she doesn't want to be in Atlas. Based on what we heard and the hatred in her voice, this world won't be kind to us. Even if we go to the police, I doubt they'll pay attention to us."
Res crossed her arms and went into a deep silence. Sora had brought up a good point and despite having just arrived in this world, she didn't want to get in trouble with the authorities… even if she or he had minor knowledge of this world and its rules. Plus, given Weiss' words, it's safe to assume that the cops won't be of any use to them.
But what could they do? Try and find someone who'll listen to them? That would take way too long and who knows how much that abusive bastard will continue in his actions of hurting Weiss.
As Res continued to think, Sora placed a hand on her shoulder. "Maybe some fresh air and food will help us think better?" He suggested.
Res thought it over and gave a nod of approval. Plus, they had to leave quickly so as to not get caught by Weiss or her abusive father. It shouldn't be a challenge to escape from this place…
Using the window, Sora and Res managed to flee from the room and navigate through the courtyard while maintaining a stealth approach so as to not get caught. When they got to the front gates though…
"Aw, hell." Res swore when she saw that the exit was a bottomless pit down to… an ice mountain that was snowing. This was definitely not a good sign.
The shining city of Atlas was right in front of them… but they didn't have a vessel to take them. Unless they could somehow fly, it wouldn't be possible to get over there.
"Hmmm… I can get us there actually." Sora told her.
Res looked at him as if he were attempting a suicidal challenge. "Sora, you can't fly."
Sora flashed a grin. "What about my gliding ability?"
"Gliding ability? You can't- Oh… Oh, wait. I forgot… you can glide. But are you sure that we can glide all the way to the city? Seems a little… impossible."
Sora still kept his grin. "Nothing is impossible. In fact, I even have a backup gliding ability that I can share with you."
Her? Being able to glide? She'd be like freaking Superman or Batman… if he had powers like the native of Krypton. Jokes aside, if this worked then they would be able to reach the city of Atlas without any trouble.
Fishing out an orb from his pockets, Sora handed it to Res who examined it - it was colored in bright blue and depicted three lines in waves. Was this how the ability to glide was shown in the game? The brunette woman wasn't sure to be honest since they didn't have a lot of time to waste before they were caught.
"So, how do I accept it in order to use the gliding ability?" Res had actually wondered how Sora equipped his abilities outside of the game.
"Simple. Just smash and let it enter into your body… might be a little painful though." Sora warned.
Res nodded and then smashed the orb before feeling its power entering into her body and coursing through her veins. Then she felt a small dose of pain as she flinched before it subsided. "That was…"
"Unexpected?"
"Something like that… Can we leave now before we get caught?"
Sora nodded as he opened the gate before the two flew straight for the glowing and glistering city of Atlas…
(Some time later - the capital city of Atlas…)
Sitting at a café were Sora and Res who were trying to blend in with their surroundings and avoid the gazes of the other citizens that were passing them. Now they could understand why Weiss disliked this place… the people were the pure definition of rich snobs and assholes.
Res was trying her best not to charge and kick the living piss out of one of them. Their mannerisms, their dress codes, everything was making her blood boil in anger.
She then felt a hand being placed on her own as she looked up to see Sora who was smiling gently. "Pay them no mind and try to ignore them as best you can."
Res sighed heavily. "I can't help it. These Atlas snobs act like they own the world and everything. It just… it drives me completely insane!" She stated.
"I know but you have to keep your anger in check. The last thing we need is to get arrested for 'reckless assault'. You think it's affecting only you? I'm also angry but I tend to ignore them."
Res pinched the bridge of her nose and tried to quell her temper. "Easy for you to say with that outfit of yours… I almost wanted to punch that bitch for saying that I had a 'whore's skirt'."
A nasty incident that nearly escalated into a fight happened moments after the two landed safely on the capital was the numerous looks they received from the high society along with some nasty comments. Though Sora ignored them, some words pissed Res off. What really made her mad though was hearing that her clothes were considered slutty and that comment came from a trophy wife.
Res had sent a huge fist to her face but was dragged away quickly by Sora before the cops could chase them down. He had succeeded in calming her down and scolding her for making a scene which made her feel bad for letting her temper get the better of her. They both offered apologies and waited until the heat died down by hiding in a nearby alleyway. After a short amount of time had passed, they had left and made their way to the cafe in order to rest and relax along with planning their next move.
A waiter came by to get their orders but they requested two menus and some time in order to think on what they wanted. Then came a problem… how to pay for their food and beverages. Sora had lots of munny on him but would that type of currency be acceptable in Atlas was the question.
They ordered the cheapest thing on the menu and were left to their own devices. But to ensure that they wouldn't run into the same woman that Res nearly got into a complete fight with, they kept a constant vigilance.
"So, what do we do next?" Sora questioned.
Res shook her head and sighed. "Not certain. Like we can't exactly head for the police to accuse the old abusive prick without any concrete evidence. What about you?"
"I'm stumped as well. Ugh… we don't really have means of saving Weiss, do we?"
"Nothing. You know what I'm gonna suggest in order for us to help Weiss out of a jam."
Sora nodded and they both cursed themselves for not coming up with good ideas in order to help out the abused teenager. This was already turning out to be a-
"Pardon me. I apologize for butting into your conversation but I couldn't help overhear something about my younger sister." Both Sora and Res' faces became confused at whoever said that as they looked forward and saw a figure that screamed both: strict and severe, along with a face that was very familiar.
Standing in front of them was tall and fair-skinned young woman with slate-blue eyes, dark eyebrows and long white hair, which was tied back in a bun that was high on the left side of the back of her head, along with bangs along right side of her face and a small curled lock of hair down the left just above her shoulder.
Her attire was a white collared undershirt that came with a necktie which connected to her new brooch and a girdle underneath the lapels of her coat. She wore navy blue gloves and pants and sported a Dust pouch around her waist while her footwear was a set of dark blue thigh boots with a pair of red covering her feet on the inside.
The two definitely saw the resemblance to Weiss Schnee along with the 'young sister' comment that meant one thing: this was the older sibling to Weiss. But the stern look on her face screamed fear and anger embodied in one.
Before the two could say anything, the woman's glare increased as she pulled up a chair and sat down in front of them. "Now then, let me repeat myself: what do you both know about Weiss?"
Sora gulped a bit as did Res but then she spoke. "What do we know about her? How about asking you what the fuck is the matter with your family?" She yelled.
The woman was stunned for a moment only to resume glaring at the two. "You do realize that I'm a part of the Schnee Family and can sentence you both to juvenile hall ASAP per my rank as an Atlesian specialist."
Res rolled her eyes. "Typical. I guess the police don't really care about an abused child. They only care about their reputation."
The woman slammed her fist. "Our reputation!? Clearly you both have no idea how- Wait… what did you just say? An abused child…?" She paused and had to hear what they just told her again.
"Yes… your own sister, Weiss… abused at the hands of her father." Sora answered, straight to the point.
The woman's eyes depicted horror. "N-no… it can't be! You're both lying!" She protested.
"We were there… and we saw the old man slapping her and controlling her! Even with force, he locked her in her room and took away something from her!" Res stated.
The woman shook her head, shock depicting on her face, before she covered her mouth with her hand. Then she let out a massive sigh and turned to the two. "In that case, I owe you both an apology for startling you… my name is Winter Schnee, Atlesian specialist and a fellow servant of General James Ironwood. And you both are…?"
"Sora Hikari and my friend Reseliee or Res." Sora introduced himself.
Winter raised a brow at the girl's strange name. "That's an unusual name." She commented much to Res' embarrassment.
"It's… a nickname. But I'm not fond of using my real name. I prefer nicknames if that's alright."
Winter saw that there was no harm in that logic and decided to not pursue it… despite how weird her name sounded though. "Very well… Now then, you both saw my sister being abused by my father. Where exactly did you both see this if I might ask?"
Res and Sora both felt awkward in answering this question. "Well… in your sister's dresser."
Winter was taken aback. "In my… sister's wardrobe dresser? Wait… how does that make any sense? How did you both even find yourselves in my sister's room?"
"Well… that's… a long story." Sora answered.
Winter crossed her arms. "What are you both hiding?" She questioned them.
Res and Sora shared nervous glances. How would they be able to explain this one?
"Well… like Sora stated: it's a long story. The short version is we found ourselves in the wrong place."
"The wrong place…?" Winter raised a brow.
"Yes. We…" Sora cut himself off by sighing heavily and then speaking once more. "Let's just show her, Res. It's not like the world order or anything else is relevant anymore."
Res was taken aback. "You sure? Won't it be better if she didn't know much?"
"Don't know much…? You both are acting very suspicious right now."
Now it was Res' turn to let out a sigh before deciding on pushing logic out of the window. "Fuck it. Let's show her."
Winter was confused by their words. What exactly are they talking about at all? Wait, why are they standing up…?
Sora and Res pulled out both hands as light glowed around them. What Winter saw next astonished her. Two giant key-shaped swords formed in both teenagers' hands. Amazing!
"How… How is this possible!?" Winter asked incredulously. It looked almost like magic! But that couldn't be possible!
"This is a Keyblade. And the reason as to why we ended up in your sister's room by accident." Sora explained to the still flabbergasted Winter who was trying her best to take this all in.
She couldn't help but keep her eyes on the Keyblade. This was definitely a weapon that she had never seen before… and was sure that the General hadn't as well. Just who were these two…? Adventurers or something else?
Eventually, she recovered herself and could continue the conversation with them. "So… this Keyblade of yours… is the reason why you found yourselves in the Schnee Mansion?"
"Yes… the Keyblades can create special types of corridors and gateways that can lead to other places and worlds." Res explained.
"I see- Wait, other worlds? You mean that you both aren't from around here?" Winter asked incredulously once more as they both nodded.
Then Sora began recounting his adventuring tale - how he combatted the Heartless, fought bad guys, saved his friends and how he had to sacrifice himself for a loved one. As for Res, she explained that she had ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Once they were done with their tale, Winter was dumbfounded. "What the hell…"
Sora chuckled. "That's how my mother reacted as well when I told her everything."
"I see…" Winter closed her eyes to think about what she was just told. Sora and Res waited patiently for her response as their food and beverages arrived.
The waiter asked Winter what she would be having yet she declined the offer before resuming her line of silent thinking. After a few seconds, her lips opened. "After careful consideration, I've made my decision: regardless of how unusual and weird your tales are, I'll accept it."
"Wait, you believe us?" Sora asked with a confused look. Res was on the same page as her companion.
Winter shrugged. "I have no reason to suspect you both… and the fact that I hear no deception in your words. You're both being honest right now which is a good sign. Don't expect much though… I'm a high ranking member of the Atlas Military." She warned them not to overstep their boundaries.
"We're not planning to." Res assured.
Winter couldn't help but smirk. "We'll see… Now then, how exactly did the confrontation between my sister and my father go?" She asked in a serious tone.
Before they could explain, they asked Winter if she would mind if they ate. She didn't and they started gulping down their food while explaining the situation more clearly.
"To start off, we don't know much about what went down between your sister and father. We only had a glimpse at the moment when Weiss was trying to tell the old bastard that she had enough of Atlas and wishes to leave to continue her duty as a Huntress… whatever that means. Also, no offense for the 'bastard' comment." Res apologized.
To her surprise, Winter started to giggle. "My sister has the stones… and none taken since I'm not fond of Father as well. The only one who has is my younger brother Whitley but to be honest, he's like him - a tightass who doesn't care about the bigger picture. He might bear the family name… but he doesn't act like a proper Schnee."
Sora swallowed a piece of meat before he frowned. "I take it your family isn't a happy one, yes?"
Winter nodded, sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of her nose. "More than that - our father is a complete egotistical bastard who has destroyed the family and our company. Since you both are new to this… world… Perhaps a world lesson to help you understand better?"
Sora and Res both nodded with Winter beginning. "In the beginning, there was no Atlas. There was the city of Mantle - from your guess, you both noticed that we are in the air, yes? Well, if you look down - you'll see the city of Mantle. A long time ago, a group of settlers began traversing the frozen mountains in search for a new home… Unfortunately, the weather proved to be a problem for the local populace. Not only that… the Creatures of Grimm as well."
Res cut the young woman off before asking a question. "The Creatures of Grimm?"
Winter nodded. "Like these Heartless that you've told me about… unlike them however - they are monsters that are drawn to negativity. Nobody knows where they came from or how they were formed. The only way to survive one is to kill it before it can kill you. A warning to you both - make sure you don't get surrounded and keep your emotions in check. Anger, sadness and misery draw many to you… and in no time you'll be surrounded and in huge trouble."
The two teens both nodded at the advice before Winter continued. "In any event, the people of Mantle devised a much safer solution: they settled down and adapted to the harsh winter in order to survive."
Res whistled. "That's insane… didn't they have to deal with hypothermia, fevers and whatnot?" She questioned.
"It was a very hardened and painful experience for the Kingdom of Mantle. They adapted not because they were forced to remain but because they had to survive. That's all that there is." Winter explained.
"Quite a tale… I take it that there's more to this story than meets the eye?" Res questioned and Winter nodded.
"Indeed there is… but I'll save it for when we have better time. Let's focus on the immediate situation at hand - what exactly is your plan for getting my sister out?" Winter questioned.
Res sighed. "That's the tricky bit. We're not sure… The first thought on our mind was heading for the police and reporting the crime."
Winter shook her head. "That's a plausible idea… but I would calmly suggest that you don't waste your time. The Atlesian Police Department are extremely arrogant and have a high opinion of themselves. Even with proper evidence, it would take far too long for a case to be built." She explained.
Sora groaned. "Is everyone like that in Atlas…?"
His question made Winter give an ironic chuckle. "Everyone, Sora. Nearly everyone in Atlas has a high opinion of themselves. Only a small number of good people remain… like my little sister for example. Unlike the rest of my family, she wishes to restore the Schnee name to honor."
"A noble goal." Res commented and got a thankful nod from Winter.
"Indeed. In any event, don't waste time trying to ask the police for assistance. I have a better solution to resolve this situation."
"You have…?" Sora asked, surprised.
"Yes. Now as stated we can't exactly assault Father without any provocation… however, what if we were to obtain some proof in regards to… his business dealings?" She revealed and couldn't help but not stop the grin from appearing.
"His… business dealings? Wait, there's more to his character than simple abuse?" Res asked in a surprised tone.
"Of course. The things I can reveal about him and his character… it's not even funny or heartfelt. But let's stay on topic - the Atlas records have erased all traces of his dealings and various activities so we can't exactly see what he's been up to. However… I think that his office houses many of his dealings through the years."
It was at that point that Res realized where Winter was going with this. "I get it! We sneak into that office and gather the evidence ourselves which we'll use to arrest him!"
Winter couldn't help but smile once more. "You are a smart person, that's for sure. Just what I thought before you beat me to it. Not bad, Reseliee."
Sora also flashed a grin before he realized something. "What about your family? They'll be in the manor and we won't have a chance to sneak in so we can grab those documents."
Winter kept her smile. "I can handle them… and I'll make sure that you are given the time needed to gather the necessary items to build a strong case against him."
"Will it be enough though?" Sora asked.
Winter gave a nod in response. "If we gather all the evidence of his illegal actions, then yes. Trust me when I say that he won't be doing any type of damage once the case is over. I'm willing to bet that he'll be taken care of for a long time."
Sora and Res shared a glance… they didn't have a reason to distrust Winter but they weren't sure about the outcome of this plan. All they could do was trust her and see what would happen.
If it worked then they would be able to get Weiss out of her hellish home and off to freedom. But if it didn't… then Sora and Res would both be sent to prison. Plus, Winter might lose her job in the Atlas military and also be charged.
In the end, all they could do was rely on their hearts to guide them. The outcome would come very soon.
Author's Notes: And the next chapter of Out of this World comes to an end! Sorry about the huge writer's block - been busy with lectures, exams and just being bored. I'll be trying my best to continue doing updates along with writing the novel manuscript. Still in the beginning but slowly-slowly coming together. Hopefully I'll finish it one day and have it posted... Keep your fingers crossed!
And thus, Sora and Res have made their first step into the adventure of a Keyblade Wielder and have entered into the world of RWBY where I have special plans... especially for Cinder whom will suffer a fate worse than death. Hint: Power corrupts everyone and attracts the wrong type of crowd. You'll definitely enjoy it for those that truly hate her! He-he-he...
Speaking of RWBY, the third novel in the EC Myers has arrived and I'm gonna enjoy reading it. But sometimes I feel like we need a origin story about Summer, Raven or Glynda. Definitely a backstory being written by Myers should be interesting to read and review. Hopefully next year's upcoming title will be interesting - let's keep our fingers crossed!
Next time, karma hits Jacques Schnee and things will definitely turn out bad for him! He's not gonna be too happy when he gets arrested, I can tell you that much! Decided to also allow Winter to come to Mistral to see to the truth about some of the things in the RWBY history... it's only fair since Weiss did think she was going to see her sister in Volume 5.
Speaking of that, a lot of things might be changed since its been a long time in which I've seen Volume 5... stopped watching the series after 6 following the Vic fiasco and the fall of Rooster Teeth. Here's to hoping that we get more books before Rooster Teeth fails completely...
In any case, I leave you all with the reading of this chapter and I wish you adieu... until next time and enjoy the epic climax to how Res and Sora will help Weiss escape from her hellish home!
