After his defeat by Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, Adam Taurus struggles to avoid drowning before he musters up the last of his energy to swim up at a nearby patch of land. The bleeding from his injuries becomes heavier as he lies down. He quickly unzips the pocket on his chest to acquire the Scroll inside.
An unknown pale skinned man is sitting on Adam's former repaired throne, sharpening one of two red bladed Scimitar like swords with a medium sized piece of rock.
The man bears a resemblance to Adam with several differences. His brown and red hair is styled similar to Adam's except it is slightly longer, and it spikes forwards instead of backwards. He has dark blue eyes, and his facial features are also sharper and more mature, and while he is built similarly to Adam, he is much taller and has a more muscular appearance. He also possesses two horns, one on each side of his head, however his are longer and slightly more curved. He also has a large scar running down his left arm.
His attire consists of a red V neck sleeveless shirt with a black and white wilting rose emblem on the back over a white floral design. Along with black pants, black wristbands, grey knee pads, a silver U link necklace, black shoes with red soles, and a black fingerless glove on his right hand with more red emblems on their forehand.
The man's Scroll then begins to buzz in his left pocket. Visibly displeased, he sets down his sword and rock to answer.
"Hello" Said the man in a deep voice
"Stier, thank god, i was attacked by two female Huntresses. Their names are Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, you have to help me." Adam said coughing up blood in the background.
"Adam what's going on, what the hell are you talking about?"
"They are both heading to Atlas, they're not alone either. There are others with them." Adam said before starting to make gurgling sounds.
"Atlas, is this some kind of joke?"
"I'm transferring everything on my Scroll to yours brother, you have to finish my work." Adam said as his scroll goes silent.
"Adam, Adam pick up, where are you?" Stier said to no response.
He then sheaths his swords before rising off the throne chair, walking to the door.
"Damn you Adam, so now once again i have to clean up your mess." Stier said internally
Several days after his bullhead takes flight, Stier reviews the data sent to him by his late brother. He notices two of the girls resemble the ones Adam had told him about.
"These students must be who killed my brother." Stier thought, walking towards the male White Fang Pilot.
"Why hello Lieutenant Crowder have we arrived at Argus yet?" Stier asked
"In a few short minutes sir we'll be there." Crowder said
"Excellent" Steir replied as he starts to walk off.
"Wait a moment master there was something I wanted to ask you." Crowder said
"Very well, what is it?" Stier said leaning against the wall.
"I've always wondered, why did you and former High Leader Adam join the White Fang?" Crowder said
"The same reason anyone else joined i suppose. To fight back against our oppressors, to have some sense of purpose in this world." Stier said
"That's it?" Crowder said
"It's exactly it, the bastard humans have been the apex predators for far too long. Now the Faunus shall rise, and the traitors like Ghira will perish." Stier said.
As he motions to leave, he hears several beeps from the ship's control pad.
"Master, I believe we've arrived at Argus." Crowder said
"Huh that was fast, now let's get to the sight of Adam's distress call immediately." Stier said
The ship then sets down near a river in the very forest where Adam's battle took place. Stier along with Crowder and 3 other White Fang soldiers depart the aircraft.
"Alright everyone spread out and look for the body. Check everywhere in this damn forest." Stier ordered
"SIR YES SIR!" Yelled the soldiers as they enter the forest.
"Crowder you stay with me we're going to search around the creek." Stier said
As they spend nearly ten minutes searching for the body, Stier and Crowder are welcomed with a horrid, godawful stench.
"My God what is that putrid smell?" Stier said covering his mouth.
"Its coming from that area by the creek." Crowder said pointing at a pile of rocks.
As they follow the smell they are both welcomed by a grisly sight. Adam Taurus's body lying dead on the ground, decomposition already beginning to take its toll, particularly in the area with his branded eye. His body is also being partly eaten by several crabs.
"Well brother i warned you this would happen." Stier thought
"Jesus H Christ" Crowder said
"All units in the forest, report back to the ship immediately. We've found the body." Stier said
"Who would've thought his obsession with the deserter would've did him in." Crowder said
Stier doesn't reply as he walks back to the ship with the White Fang soldiers carrying his brother's body on a stretcher. He valiantly tries to contain his tears when he looks at him.
After they take off Stier is once more sharpening his swords while looking at a picture of Team RWBY from Adam on his Scroll.
"Hm, the white haired one looks familiar, and that Blake girl must've been the deserter that Adam talked about. But who is that yellow haired one? I know I've seen her face once before but where?." Stier said subconsciously
"High Leader Stier, now that we have the body where are we going next?" Crowder asked from the pilot room
"First we're going back to base to give my brother a proper burial. Then afterward I am departing to Atlas immediately no questions asked." Stier said
"But wouldn't it be wiser to stay and fix the White Fang? we are already falling apart as it is." Crowder said
"Don't worry about that" Stier said, smirking
