Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale.)
Azul put both bullets down on Ironwood's desk as the general looked them over.
"Whoever this is, they're using the festival for something. I only won because the lights were off, and they didn't know I was a Faunus." Ironwood walked to the window, mulling over Azul's words while the Faunus crossed his arms and sighed.
"If we stop the entire tournament, people will worry and panic. Anger would draw the Grimm in just as much as fear would." Ironwood stated, Azul sighed. He hummed and rubbed at his ears.
"I still don't think it's a good idea to have Roman aboard, General. He might just be a criminal, but I doubt a small-time thief would come up with the idea to help the White Fang craft Dust bombs, load up a train, and then drive those bombs into Vale. He wouldn't be benefited by drawing more attention to him if he was trying to profit from it." Azul sharpened his nails, looking into the claws like a predator would. He growled before Ironwood put a hand on his shoulder.
"Roman is being kept under guard and I'm planning to ship him to Vacuo. I'm not putting him in a position to take over the ship if he breaks out. Azul, I know your mad whoever is behind this is still in the shadows." Ironwood said, Azul frowned under his scarf.
"I've dealt with people like Roman before, sir. Their bullies, too scared to fight someone who can hit back. I doubt whoever was behind the bombing is going to wait for you to hit back. they're watching the military and anyone who can stop them." Azul walked to the window after this, he tapped a claw at one of the bullets.
"I know this bullet, it's from Mistral, my dad used to tell me about all the shady people there. I'm not going to act like I'm more experienced… I'm a teen, I do things like blush when my girlfriend flirts with me, and I enjoy upgrading my weapon… You need a wild card if you're going to stand a chance." Azul said, Ironwood brought a hand to his chin as if considering the idea for a moment.
"I'm going to make a call… Azul, I have another mission for you, I want you to go and make sure that the tower is still ok. I'm still having the virus you captured analyzed by one of my best scientists look over it… But if the tower goes down, I'm sure you are aware of what would happen." Ironwood ordered, Azul said nothing before nodding.
"I'll make sure it gets done… Just one thing? I wish for you to keep Ruby in on this, she's the one who helped me stop the train and my girlfriend is one of the only people I can put all my trust in. you bring Ruby in? whoever is behind this is going down." Azul said before he walked to the door and opened it.
"I'll keep it on the table, I need to make a call. Your girlfriend will be fine, Azul." Ironwood walked to the window after that, there was nothing at the moment to be said.
He exited the room before Ironwood turned back to the window.
"Summer, you and Qrow certainly raised a different daughter than what Oz told me about." The general patted the desk before he uncorked a flask before he started to drink from it.
He sighed and swirled whatever was in it and then went to call in the reinforcements. He could already guess what would happen.
"If they want a war? I'll give them a war." He stated before he picked up his scroll and he rolled his eyes at the coming war.
Wars required sacrifices, it required people willing to do what had to be done if they were going to win. Ozpin trained warriors, not soldiers and he doubted they could make hard choices if required.
(With Azul)
Azul hummed while he rolled his wrist and then he marched down the ramp as the Bullhead flew off and then turned and rushed away, using his semblance to rush towards the CCTS tower.
He sighed and thought of Ruby, if she was busy at the moment, he'd fill her in. Azul wanted his girlfriend to be in on the loop of things.
He questioned who would be behind it before he rolled his eyes and then marched off to get to the tower.
If they lost it, they'd be cut off from the rest of the kingdom and he couldn't afford to allow them to get away with that.
He sighed and then leaped over a car before speeding towards the tower once again. He cracked his neck and sighed at the slight pain in his neck.
He entered the tower a minute later.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I'm sorry this chapter is different than what I said. I also want to point out the Fall of Beacon isn't going to happen in the story. The next chapter will of course be next Monday and show Azul meeting with Ruby again and them going on a date. until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: The Raven story is in 2 weeks; the Willow story will be on Saturday or so and the Penny story is going to be 800 words or so next chapter.
