Chapter 6
Once Crimson and Ebony had landed making sure they place the plane on auto pilot they both got geared up they were bring submachine, some weird looking grenades, shotgun and three white crystals as well as a bag with some ropes in it Crimson thought about taking her chain weapon but decided to leave with that done they then climbing out of their plane looking around they could see they place was run down wildlife had taken it back over some building rusting away some windows were smashed in some roofs had collapsed vehicle rusting away while collecting a heavy amount of dust on them walking towards a huge building they hope was the right one.
Until Ebony stopped pulling out his submachine gun pointing to a warehouse building when his sister called out to him "hay what wrong?" she said to him seeing him just standing there.
As he looked more into the building slowly placing his gun away "nothing I thought I heard something" he said walking again.
...
A few hours into their walk they were making their way through the building carefully in case the place gave way they noticed the place was a mess paper, tables and other stuff littered the place either on the floor or just in the place they were meant to be the whole place was covered in dust even the air as they kept on walking Crimson noticed scratches on the wall "wonder what did this?" she question out loud as they kept on walking when they heard a banging noise quickly pulling out their weapons aiming at the direction it came from quickly and quietly rushing to a door that read mess hall opening the door slowly they walked in checking every corner and place seeing nothing the placed their weapons away and were about to leave when all of a sudden a small Grimm but still bigger than them quickly pulling out their weapons as it jumps in the air Crimson fires at it face while Ebony rushes behind it firing his shotgun to it back as it managed to pins Crimson to the ground Crimson lost her grip on her gun quickly trying to reach her knife while trying to keep it mouth at a distance.
Ebony drops his guns and pulls out his knife and rushes the thing tackling it off his sister to the ground and bring his knife down into it neck as it screams in pain Crimson then rushes bringing her knife through it skull killing it both then back up breathing a little "you... okay?" Ebony asked while breathing.
"yes I... am" she said pulling her knife out of it "what is that?" she asked looking over it dead body before it disappears.
"it looks like a Sphinx but smaller" he said looking over it as it finally disappeared grabbing his knife they both stopped as they hear more of those thing quickly grabbing their guns and rushing off down the corridor.
They kept running while shooting their weapons one protect the other while retreating through the place when they suddenly came to a huge place that looked like a huge factory with workbench all over the place tools and other thing and right above it was an office with a walkway and some stairs quickly rushing up the stair they saw more of those thing rushing into the room Crimson pulling one of those weird grenades out pulling it pin throwing it "get down!" she shouts to her brother both hitting the deck as a sudden huge heat white flash went of and the screaming of those Grimms they look up seeing their bodies all burned and was now dissolving away saying no time they ran into the office seeing the place just like the other and on the desk was the word "main director" placing some file cabin cover the door to keep it shut.
"look a safe this must be the place" Crimson said rushing to it "I'll try to hack into you look around the place" she said seeing him nodding.
Ebony walked around the place seeing a huge table with the map of the world on it and a whole bunch of arrows black and blue there were more black one than the blue looking closer he saw a colour code blue was the Wolf Empire the black were the Grimms "wow so we were losing the whole time!" he said out loud in shock his eyes then fell on a folder marked "top secret" picking it up he opened it and read it when all of a sudden his eyes shot wide open and his whole body just when cold.
Crimson finally managed to break into the safe and found the file marked "cleansing artillery" smiling to herself she grabbed it getting up seeing her brother just standing there looking shocked at a file he was holding walking over to him she look at the file and gasped at what she was reading "no this.. you know we don't have time for this let bring it show it to mum" she said placing the two folders in the bag as they then began moving the stuffs from the door walking out only to stop as there were more of those Grimms "shit!" she said.
Ebony then pulled out two of those of crystal things which explodes into a glyph and two pure white Sabyr Grimms appear "keep them here as long as you can!" he shouts to them both as they two rushed back into the office placing the cabin back against the door Ebony looked around seeing a window "there" he points to it.
Crimson rushed to a steel pillar and brought out the rope and wrapping the rope around it then smashed the window throwing the rope out the window "okay let go" she said while pulling a pin out of one of those grenades letting it go to the ground as they both jumped out the window just as the door was bashed in and those Grimms came running in only to be explode by that white heat bomb.
They both land on the ground looking around seeing the night sky had arrived they then quickly ran for the plane pulling out the last crystal and bringing another Sabyr as more of those Grimms came rushing out of different buildings as they open fire while their Grimm kept on attack them as they rushed to their plane.
"remote control start engine and launch" Crimson shouts out to a small device on her wrists as they saw their plane engine starting up and making it to lift in the air they jumped on a creature using it to give themselves a boost landing right in side of the plane on the floor breathing heavily and fast "well that... went well!" she said getting up.
"yes it did" Ebony said as well as he looked out of the plane seeing those Grimms all over the place "we will need to tell mum about this" he said heading to the pilot seat turning off it auto pilot.
"yes well come on lets head back we have an all night travel to get back to Vale but also let not hurry back stop some place safe to land and we can have a rest after that mission" she said seeing the night sky was now here with bright stars and the broken moon.
...
The next day Cerise was on board her ship when one of her crew screamed out to her "empress Grimms in the city!" he said.
"WHAT!" she shouts in shock as a screen came up showing team RWBY surrounded by the Grimms "send in the ground force get the other ship there as well but no vehicle and don't bring any of our light Grimms as well" she says to them as one of them jumped onto the radio.
...
Mean while team JNPR were heading on to a bullhead plane when all of a Sudden they heard an alarm going off in the city they looked around seeing those Wolf Empire soldiers rushing to their plane as well as one of their huge ships heading that way "come on guy's change of plans" Jaune says as they all got on to their plane.
...
Team RWBY were standing in the middle of a huge horde of Grimms when they got ready to fight they all looked up seeing one of wolf empire ships above them dropping some planes down as the girls then charged into the horde to help fight them.
...
Crimson and Ebony were nearing the city when they heard on the radio that Grimms were in the city as they placed the auto pilot back on they got ready with their weapons Crimson was bringing her chain weapon with a sword attached to the end of it "let do this!" she heard her brother saying in an exciting way smile to him while opening the door they saw the Grimms their soldiers and the students from that school all fighting the Grimms.
"okay let jump" she said as they both jumped out of the plane flying to the ground.
...
Ruby was about to kill this one Grimm when all of a sudden Crimson landed on top of it stabbing it with her knife and Ebony landed next to her "so how are thing?" she hears Crimson asking her.
"um not bad trying to save the city" she said still stunned by what she just saw.
...
"cool" Ebony said looking around the place seeing their troops fighting "let's go sister!" he shouts before rushing off with his two pistols in hand as Crimson shaken her head an amusing was while rushing off as well using her chain to slice one of the Grimms while dodging another one claw as her brother jumped over her hitting it with his two pistols killing it "now this is fun!" she hears him shouting she smile again.
"okay brother but keep a cool and calm head" she said to him calming him down as they charged another Grimm "I wonder were is Atlas?" she question herself looking to see no Atlas only then to see them finally arriving "oh speak of the devil" she said while swinging her chain to one pinning it to the ground then rushing it using her sword to slice into it face.
...
A few hours later the whole battle was done and once everything was cleaned up people were check for any injuries both Ebony and Crimson were kneeling down in front of their mother "mother we have two important files for you one of them is about the Cleansing Artillery" Crimson held that file out to her as she felt it leaving her hand.
"well done both of you" she said looking over it content "and what about this other one?" she asked seeing her son holding the other folder out to her taking it and opening it her eyes shot wide open "I see" she place both folders down on a desk "thank you my children no go and rest I am sure it been a long two days for you both" she says seeing them both walking away "captain" she says out seeing a female Faunus walking up to her.
"yes your empress" she says bowing her head to her.
Cerise then face a Faunus female "get on the radio and get me three more ships fully loaded to come here but keep them behind the mountain where they can't be seen I have a feeling that today wasn't just some accident" she says to her.
"yes yyor empress but what do you mean?" she asked her.
"Ozpin may have managed to fool the public saying that something went wrong and it was an accident but he doesn't fool me" she looks to the two folders in front of her "oh and send a messenger to get Miss Goodwitch I like to see her".
"of course your empress I get right on this" she said walking away.
Cerise walked up to a window looking out towards Beacon seeing one of her plane heading to the school as she look more at the tower "Ozpin you may be my great grandmother friend but even she knew not to trust you to the fullest we know you were hiding something but what we can't tell but I will not let you lead people blindly with half truths to their deaths" she walked off with the two folders in hand.
...
Glynda was in her office doing reports of what happened today when she heard a knock on the door "come in" she say hearing her door open looking up she saw it was one of those wolf empire soldiers walking in "yes!" she saying curiously.
"sorry for interrupting you but my empress wishes to see you on her ship" he says to her.
"why?!" again she was curious about this why her not Ozpin.
"I do not know I was only told to get you and bring you to our empress office" he said to her.
She felt that he wasn't hiding anything so her curiosity got the better of her and decidedly to go with him.
...
Once she arrived at Cerise office after being lead by a female human who wore a French style maid outfit seeing two her guards out side she was allowed in she looked around seeing the place had two leathers couches a desk with three chairs around it one being occupied by Cerise a huge window behind her "ah Miss Goodwitch please take a seat for there is nothing I must share with you" she said pointing to the chair in front of her.
Taking the seat and getting herself comfortable "I don't mean to be rude but what is going on why ask for me and not for Ozpin?" she asked her looking at the desk seeing only two folders.
"remember protocol!" she hears Cerise whispering out "I am sorry for this but how well do you know Ozpin?" she was caught off guard by that one.
"well I am apart of his inner circle I know about the two brothers and the maiden power along with his immortality why?" she then ask her.
"simple although he was a great friend to my great grandmother but my grandmother never fully trusted him she once told my mother never thrust a man you don't fully know we know you aren't the only ones who he once lead with this truth" she got up and walked to a cabinet open it to pour out to glasses of wine and walking back giving one to Glynda "you see he has lead many other like you into battle which ultimately was their doom and how that happened was when everything went bad he would stop giving out truth then telling lies to hid them then leaving the scene not really caring for his action" she paused to see her reaction to this.
"what do you mean how do you know?" she asked taking a sip of her glass.
"simple" she got up taking her glass with her and those two folders "follow me" she said opening the door with Goodwitch behind her.
...
They arrived at a huge room with a tall statue of a female wolf her head bowed down a covered up table and a curtain hanging on the wall the room had no windows it was covered in dust suggesting that this room wasn't used in a long time "you see when Ozpin came to us asking for our help we read more in to his little war we sent spy's and other thing out all of them came back to us with every information on who he had lead and who was dead from that group even though we joined his fight we even had a more motivated reason why we wanted to end it" she then walked up to a huge curtain pulling it down reveal about 100 names with pictures besides it and their status which all were marked with killed.
"who are they?" she asked shocked by the amount of names on that board.
"they were the ones who were in his inner circle they followed him and they all dead by Salem hand or by her little minions you see he tried it with us" she walked up to the covered up table and pulled the sheet off to reveal a map of the world with two colours of arrows one blue and one black there were more blacks and less blue one also there was a lot of paper on the table "you see the black one represent the Grimms the blue is ours before we went into hiding the war for us was turning bad at the beginning it was good Ozpin kept us updated on movement of the Grimms and where the relic were hidden or if they had been moved to different locations but then set back after set back we were losing Ozpin then kept giving us little information like when we asked about the location of the relic so we may provide enough troops to protect them he kept say it okay they are safe my great grandmother started to trust him less it got to a point were we had no choice to go into hiding" she stopped at that looking at the map in a sad way.
"okay so why tell me why not confront him?" she asked her as she tried to think on this.
"because before my mother passed away to the great promise land we made a plan to find his new inner circle group and see how much they know about the man and if our theory was right that he was still hiding some truth then we would interfere and tell them about him and what he has done to the last group we made a promise to not let more people who were being lead by him to die needlessly" she said pointing to the board of names.
"but still why tell me and not Ironwood as well?" she said crossing her arms.
"because we need people who we can trust you fit the bill so far as well as a few of those students we have seen Ironwood is more complicated I need to know I can trust him before letting him know all this, look you all are being lead to your doom we want to stop that please help us to do that we're not saying to dislike him we are asking you to be more vigilant around him tell us if he been acting weird or isn't like himself" she said almost as if she was begging her.
"and what about you" she said caring Cerise confused look "you said it yourself you have a more motivated reason why to end this war" she said seeing her looking at the two folders she had brought with them.
"because we have learned something that we had hoped that it wasn't real but turns out it is" she picked up one of the folders walking to her "and unlike him we don't want to keep those we have trust with in the dark this folder will explain why it important for us to end it more than now" she gave her the folder watching her reading the content in there when her eyes shot wide open.
"you mean this protocol can come into effect if the gods do return and see both Faunus and humans still devised then they will get you to...!" she couldn't think on that last part.
"yes it seem when our first empress seen the all mighty she-wolf she implanted a protocol in her brain as well as those who followed her we had theories about it but now it seems it true now I understand why these six sister ships we have were here why they were built and why there are only six now you see why we want to end their war before this happens so that way we won't use the six sister ships so please help us" she said to her with two hand together looking at her.
Glynda couldn't think on what she has just been told all this she knew Ozpin but now does she really now him looking at the board seeing all those names on there but what was this her fate as well to be lead by him only to die like them looking at Cerise "I... need to think on this" she says to her.
"of course I understand please take all the time you need my maid will show you out" she said pushing a button on her wrist and the door open to the same human woman in a French style maid outfit "please show Miss Goodwitch out to the hanger where a plan will be waiting".
"yes your empress" the woman spoke bowing her head leading the way.
Watching her leave the room Cerise looked over the board seeing those names "we will not let another name go up there I promise you all" she said leaving the room to head to her bed for the night.
