It was 10 in the morning. Tooru was walking down the stairs of his house.
He lives alone...well mostly. His girlfriend stays with him in his house. So they live alone together.
They live in the middle of some forest in Vale.
Tooru sold his penthouse after establishing a modern contemporary home.
He kind of predicted the shit that would go down in Vale after a year. So he made plans to move here.
He also needed the observatory too and an observatory on a penthouse was...well unusual. It would naturally draw attention to its owner.
Tooru sat down on his couch and grabbed the remote. He kind of expects the topics on the news today.
He turned it on. There was a reporter on the screen.
'Today in Vale, an Atleasian aircraft known as The Volatol was shot out of the sky. Authorities suspect that a gang was behind it.'
"Oh yeah...who were those guys? They said they had Atleasian friends who supplied them." Tooru thought back to his "encounter".
'But they cannot pinpoint which gang might be behind it. It is worrisome that there is a gang capable of shooting down drones 7.6 kilometres (25000 ft) up in the air.'
"Holy shit that's high! What kind of heat-seeking missiles do they have?" Tooru wondered in astonishment.
'Because of this Atlas has increased the ground units with huntsmen and huntresses supporting them. It will be a while before we can have our air superiority back.'
"And have them shoot it down again..."
'Speaking of Atlas, their ground and air units are spread thin due to terrorists in Atlas and Mantle.'
"Atlas is...fucked. I guess Mantle hasn't had enough vitamin D. They could just move the floating island... or they just can't. Fucking Ozpin and his ideas to create a floating island." Tooru agreed with the people of Mantle.
'Atlas also has their dust supply lines sabotaged by terrorists. Regardless, Atlas continues to use energy normally.'
"Huh? Their supply has been sabotaged and yet they continue to use energy?" Tooru wondered.
"Maybe they made a nuclear reactor? I mean, Ironwood did hear me explain the H bomb but...they have never heard of Uranium and I highly doubt they have Uranium 235." Tooru wondered.
"Meh, they probably have a shit ton of it." Tooru assumed.
Tooru switched the channel. He proceeded to watch the anime Remnant instead.
At Beacon Academy...
Ozpin was sitting in his office room waiting for team RWBY to arrive. Apparently, they have something important to report.
Ozpin has heard what happened at the mart. They found an unconscious woman at the site along with a man with a bullet hole in his head.
The doctors are currently treating her. They found out that those two were related.
The authorities are waiting for her to wake up so she can explain.
The elevator doors opened as he was staring outside.
He looked behind to see team RWBY.
"I heard that your mission went smoothly and that you have something important to report," Ozpin said.
"Yes, Professor Ozpin. It's regarding..." Ruby hesitated.
"The Wonder of U," Yang said as Ozpin was shocked. He didn't expect him.
'He's back!? But we're fine?' Ozpin thought confused.
"What!? Where?!" Ozpin asked with clear intention to pursue him.
But nothing happened and they were still somewhat not at ease.
"At the mart which was shot down by the gangsters," Blake informed.
"He also told us that he can't always keep the calamity flowing," Weiss informed.
"He can't?!" Ozpin exclaimed.
"But it was working when we confronted him," Ruby informed.
Ozpin banged his desk in anger. This! All of this was happening because of him!
"Professor Ozpin?" Ruby asked noticing his anger as he calmed down.
"Did he say why he was there?" Ozpin asked.
"He went there to get...sausages," Weiss explained uncomfortably.
"Sausages?" Ozpin asked confused.
"Yeah...he said he needs to eat," Yang explained.
'Why go to the mart to get sausages? Doesn't he have the Relic of Creation...? Don't tell me that he has lost it!?' Ozpin thought furiously.
"That's surprising...isn't it?" Said someone as they saw Salem standing in front of the elevator.
'When did she get here? I heard no elevator noise.' Blake wondered.
"Where did you come from?!" Ruby exclaimed.
"She was here by the elevator." Ozpin said knowing she flew in here.
"Oh, guess I didn't notice you there Mrs Ozpin..." Ruby said as Salem looked at her irritated.
"Girls, was that all?" Ozpin asked. They noticed he was quite serious about this so they took it seriously too.
"Y-Yes!" Ruby answered.
"Dismissed." Ozpin ordered as they walked to the elevator knowing he was going to have a serious conversation with his wife about this.
They left through the elevator.
"I seriously hate to pretend to be your wife..." Salem groaned.
"Fuck you! This!... This all is happening because of you!" Ozpin exclaimed.
"How many times do we have to argue about this!? This is all happening because you refused to rule the world with me!" Salem exclaimed.
"All of humanity would've worshipped us together! But noooo 'I am too good! I can't make them worship us, It's too selfish!'" Salem said as Ozpin looked at her annoyed.
"It was selfish enough, to begin with now, isn't it?! Who does that bright bastard thinks he is!? To give you the mission to 'Unite humanity or die by our judgement when you bring the relics together!'" Salem exclaimed.
"Salem, don't insult-"
"Or what Ozma!? What!? That mission of uniting humanity seems harder than ever now! Why should we worship that bastard!?" Salem exclaimed while starting to cry.
"He was the bastard that got forgotten! He was the one who cursed us both! He killed everyone with his brother in a blink! A BLINK OZMA!" Salem exclaimed as tears were forming in her eyes.
"He doesn't fucking care about us! He killed everything in a blink because he thinks he's so high that he can just...erase us!" Salem exclaimed as he could see some of her arguments.
"Then he gave you this mission with the reward of him returning and making everyone use magic! He thinks humanity isn't full without magic! Can you believe that!?" Salem exclaimed Ozpin was silent.
"Say something! There is nothing to say because I did speak the truth!" Salem exclaimed.
"I guess...you have a point..." Ozpin said depressingly knowing this is the consequence of his actions.
"As I said, this is your fault. If you want to finish that mission you have used all the methods you can or just abandon the mission." Salem said as Ozpin thought about it.
"Abandon the mission? After all of this!?" Ozpin exclaimed thinking about all the hard work he's done.
"Then use all the methods you can to win!" Salem exclaimed.
"Like what!?" Ozpin exclaimed.
"I don't know! Kill most of humanity and leave a quarter who will live united together! That's what I was doing." Salem suggested.
"That's just!... Wrong!" Ozpin exclaimed.
"You're either going to do the right thing or finish the mission." Salem said.
"Is there no other...way?" Ozpin asked.
"How about I try to be god again? If not then I am open to suggestions." Salem suggested.
Ozpin thought about his situation. He didn't know what to do. 'Maybe I should go back to square one.' Ozpin thought.
"How about we go back to...square one?" Ozpin suggested.
"Ozpin...the pools have been vaporized! Even if you bring those back...somehow, I won't jump in it again." Salem denied the suggestion.
"Maybe just bring the grimn back? After we get the Relic of Creation from him?" Ozpin suggested.
"And how do you suppose we can get it back from him? The man who brings calamity?" Salem asked.
"He said he cannot keep it up." Ozpin said.
"That's dangerous as a man who can often stop time as often as he likes, I believe it's called spamming?" Salem said.
"Even so! Our chances aren't zero. We can manage this." Ozpin said keeping hope.
Salem sighs and sits down at the table. "Ozpin ...he can make those bombs that kill immortals..." Salem warned.
"Including him. He wasn't there during the explosion." Ozpin
"And with that large radius...he won't be using it as he pleases." Salem understood what Ozpin was trying to say.
'But that's not the only thing he has...' Ozpin thought as he prepared to hunt down Wonder of U
'Nothing is stopping him from using it where he isn't and if he does...life will cease to exist.' Salem thought scared.
"We'll..." Salem hesitated.
"We'll hunt him down!" Ozpin exclaimed.
At Mount Glenn...
"Did you know that there are corpses of the infamous White Fang buried underneath here?" A gangster said as he explored the area with his homies.
"Really?" Another one asked.
"Yes. This place was one of their hideouts until they were buried by the city above." Liro said as he put down some crates.
"Wasn't the insides of this mountain hollowed in a way so that it won't fall?" Russell asked.
"Yes." Liro confirmed.
"Then how did it fall?" Russel asked as walked with crates in his hand.
"The ghostly inhabitants of this city buried them in anger!" A gangster joked.
"No. Someone did something with the foundation to make it fall." Liro said.
"Maybe someone blew it up?" A gangster asked.
"Or broke it with ice dust?" Another suggested.
"The cops couldn't confirm because the foundation is buried underneath too. What they have been able to confirm is that it wasn't blown up." Liro informed as he pointed at the rubble.
"So this is our hideout now?" A gangster asked.
"Temporarily until the deal takes place. The one we're here for in the first place." Liro informed.
"Oh yeah, the deal with Atlas." Russell said.
"Really?" A newbie asked confused.
"Not the kingdom but their so-called people." Liro said as he was still confused.
"The revolutionaries from Mantle. They're supplying us. They hate Atlas more than anyone." Russel cleared his confusion.
"We're making deals with terrorists?!" He asked afraid of terrorists.
"I don't know. While they may instil fear into the Atlas citizens, they haven't done anything to anyone else unlike some terrorist organisation." Liro said he sat down on a crate.
"The kid's got a point, boss. They are terrorists because they terrorise Atlas." Russel agreed as Liro got a cigar out.
"Can't disagree." Liro said lighting his cigars.
"How do they plan to beat Atlas? Because Atlas still has a shit ton of resources." Russel asked.
"Rumours are that Atlas has a bomb that can decimate anything in its huge radius." Liro said as his homies were confused.
"Isn't that what bombs do?" Russel asked.
"It has a radius of more than 3 kilometres." Liro smoked as his homies jolted up in surprise.
"Hol-hold on! If they have something that powerful why doesn't they use it to rule the world?" Russel asked confused.
"Maybe it costs more, rare resources or some other reason that they can't use it." Liro gave his thoughts.
"Maybe they aren't dicks and didn't want to kill everyone?" Another gangster suggested.
"Makes sense. How are they gonna live with their legacies being that they killed everyone?" Russel couldn't disagree.
"It's Atlas we're talking about. They'll exploit anyone to get what they want." Another gangster said.
"Then again, What do they want if they aren't assholes? Remember Jacques was killed in Atlas by Atlas." Liro said.
"That's just a conspiracy." Russel said.
"Regardless, they have morals and standards. We don't know for sure if they have the bomb or not." Liro said.
"Where did this rumour even emerge from?" Russel asked.
"Some scientists found out that they are responsible for the extinction of grimm. They spread rumours saying Atlas did this with a huge bomb." Liro explained.
"Is there any evidence to support their claims?" Russel asked curiosity.
"Their absence after they spread the rumours." Liro said as they were surprised.
"They went missing?" Russel asked as Liro nodded.
"Fuck..." Russel muttered.
Then Liro got a phone call and he picked it up.
"Hello" Liro said listening.
"Really!? How!?" Liro exclaimed as they were surprised.
"Tch. Be careful!" Liro exclaimed as he put the scroll down.
"What happened?" Russel asked curiosly.
"Our branch in Mistral has been wiped out." Liro informed.
"What!?" They all exclaimed confused.
"They were cut to pieces, Fruit Ninja style." Liro said irritated.
"Hold on...they were cut like the fruits on fruit ninja?" a gangster asked remembering his second favourite scroll game.
"Yes..." Liro said.
"What do we do then?" Russel asked.
"Nothing. Just make sure that we don't give away our location." Liro ordered.
'We'll hunt you down!'Liro exclaimed.
Alright guys, that's it for this chapter. Sorry for any spelling errors and please leave your reviews.
Oh and Tooru created Fruit Ninja with the relic and sold the copies.
