Chapter 7
It been a few days now and Glynda was walking about still trying to wrap her head around what she was told when something hits her along the way "the empress said they have more motivated reason to end this so there must be more reason and why" she thought to herself while she was walking she saw Cerise sitting outside surrounded by four of her guards and that same maid with her she was drinking tea when she walked up to her "your empress when you said about ending this war I just thought of something there more reason why you want to end this isn't there?" she said determined to get the answer.
Seeing her placing her cup down closing her eyes in a sad way seeing a tear drop down "yes there is" seeing her looking up to her wiping away the tear "do you know how hard it to tell the loved one that their family has been killed in battle" she shaken her head "well it hard every day I get the reports in about my fellow soldiers who I have came to care for so much was killed by the Grimms and every time I write a letter to their loved one delivering it to them seeing them brake down in tears makes me hurt as well I care for my people and my empire I hate seeing them both being hurt because of this war so I came to a conclusion to end it one way or another to stop this mass killing to end the suffering of my people" she watched the empress saying with tears which toured at her heart seeing her talking about how she wanted to end this fight and why.
"I see I made up my mind and I will help you but I need to trust you now if you will excuse me I have get the arena ready today for the first fight" she said to the empress then walking away.
"I meant it when I said it I will not keep you in the dark about any thing that why I am saying this to you I brought an extra 3 ship here in case anything happens they will stay out of sight" she stopped upon hearing that looking to her then continued to walk away.
...
Cerise watched her walking away smiling to herself "good I have some allies who I can trust now" she said to herself then seeing Weiss walking up to her "well here goes nothing" she said taking a deep breath "well hello Weiss how thing been?" she asked with a smile to her face.
"thing have been crazy" she hears her saying while taking a seat as her maid poured out a cup of tea for her "and how are you?" she hears her asking.
"I have been fine in fact there something I must tell you" she paused seeing her reaction as it was a concerned look "you know that one part of the family you have been asking but never got an answer" she saw her nodding slowly "well it because that I am related to you" she saw her gasping in shock.
...
Weiss was shocked like this had to be a cruel joke or something "no that can't be where the proof?" she asked her seeing her pointing to the maid who was now holding an old looking book watching as Cerise taken it opening it to a page pulling out a picture and giving to her.
"you told me you found a picture of a man and that the man you kept asking about" Weiss looked at it while listening to her seeing the man as it was the same man "well he is my great grandfather who left your family as they never like him being in loved with my great grandmother he left your family to be with her back at our empire now sadly they both rest in the promise land of the almighty she-wolf" Weiss listened as her mind was going through all this when something hits her looking up to her.
"there one thing missing in my family we can make glyphs only the female though" she said to her seeing her placing the cup down and holding out a hand as a white glyph appeared on her hand now shocked again about this looking at the picture again "then that must mean!" she said to herself.
"look I know this is a big shock to you trust me I know how you are feeling when I was told about this I was shocked by it as well please take the time" she hears her saying.
"what does this make you to me?" she asked her looking to her.
"well it make me your auntie along with your sister and brother" Weiss was in deep thought about this standing up from her chair facing the empress.
"I need to think" she said leaving with the picture in her hand walking away in a hurry to her room.
...
Cerise couldn't blame her for rushing off like this as she looked back at the book with more pictures on it of their family sigh in a sad way she gave the book back to her maid who went away with it "I hope we can be a family Weiss please" she thought to herself looking at the direction she went off in.
...
Later that day Cerise was sitting by her children watching team RWBY fights "so have you pick out your opponents yet?" she asked them both.
"yes we have" she hears Crimson saying as they Studiedly watched the fight taking in their moves and fighting formations "it seems they fight well together but they are Predictably I spotted Yang using her semblance a few times and Ruby need to keep her guards up more" Crimson said as they watched the ending as Ruby was jumping up and down for joy.
"yes sister indeed but now how about a trip to the market area before the next fight?" Ebony said getting up off his seat.
"sure mother you want to come?" Cerise looked to them both with a smile.
"no thank you, you go on and enjoy yourself I have some work to do" she said walking off leaving her children alone to wonder off.
...
Ruby was hungry along with her team as they sat at a food stall she noticed they were a lot more wolf soldiers around who didn't wore the armour but had combat trousers and combat jackets with a belt with a few pouches on they held what she assumes is an assault rifle on but it had a glowing light to it just then team JNPR came walking up to them talking about their fight when they heard a female voice call out to them "hay team RWBY great fight I must say you might even give us a run for our money if we pick you to fight us!" Crimson said enthusiastic while taking a seat next to Blake along with her brother.
Really wow by the way who have you picked for this special fight?" Jaune asked taking his bowlers of noodles.
"ah that would spoil the fun now my dear boy let just say it will be a surprise to the combatants who will fight us two" she said smile to Pyrrha seeing her face turn red.
"so how thing been with you two?" Ruby asked while tucking into her food.
"not bad mother been great but something been bothering her don't know what it is but I guess we will never find out" Ebony said sitting with no food.
"by the way why are you not eating?" Ruby asked as she felt it was the right time to ask now.
"well you see I am not a real person" he said a little shy while smiling.
"what!" both teams screamed out loud looking to him.
"look okay here it the story" Crimson then went to explain about who he is and what happen on their life.
...
A couple of minutes later and with full belly they all couldn't believe what they had been told about him "man I am sorry to hear that" Jaune said to them.
"don't be sorry for in the wolf army it a noble cause to die to protecting the innocent I am sure the real me is happily up in the promise land watching down on us all" Ebony said as they then heard an announcement about team JNPR to get to the stage.
Well good luck" both Crimson and Ebony said to them holding a thumbs up at them seeing them walking off.
...
They all were back in their seat watching team JNPR fight and once again Crimson and Ebony were both studying the team fighting style "you know they really should have taken care of that sniper first" Ebony said watching the team running behind some rocks.
"yes we would've called in our gunship by now to level the place" Crimson said as she watched how Jaune gave each of them orders.
"yes well not everyone has an army who can come to the rescue" they both heard their mother saying to them "remember sometime you can't always rely on the army being there all the time" they hears while watching how Nora managed to get the snipe to leave the tress then pounding the ground which made the other to fly next to the snipe girl but all of a sudden they all stopped fighting and were taking about teams attack names only to see Nora grinning and hitting them all which caused them to hit the force field hard.
"oh that going to hurt in the morning isn't it?" Ebony said watching as medic rushed up to them.
"yes brother it will now let see the next fight" Crimson said as the next fighter all walked up onto the platform watching the scene had changed and the match began Crimson gasp at how quick the one boy rushed to the enemy side to gain the higher ground "hmm we need to keep an eye on him" she said watched the rest of the fight.
...
A few minutes later after watching the fight "well guess we will have to stay out of water when he has is electric weapon on him" Ebony said as they got up walking off along with their mother.
"yes indeed but if we can use the water to our advantage then it will be an easy fight" Crimson said smiling away at the thought.
"now, now you two you both know it better not to use something against your opponent that they are afraid of no matter the advantages you will gain other wise it won't be a fair fight now, come now one of my soldiers tells me an Atlas ship is landing soon" she said walking of to the landing sight.
...
When they three arrived at the place they saw a man talking to a woman and a bunch of those Atlas robots Cerise saw one of her guards were about to make a move only for her to stop them as she listened into their talks about Ironwood turning his back on Ozpin and how the Atlas military is a bunch of sell outs she watched as they both then got into a fight.
...
She was enjoying this fight but it came to an end when she spotted Ironwood marching up to them nodding to her guards who all rushed up to them both surrounding them with their lancer aimed at them as Ironwood had stopped the fight.
Ebony saw Penny behind him "hay Penny how things?" he asked her while they left others to talk away.
"not bad" she hugged into him giving him a small kiss on the cheek "why didn't your mum stop this fight then only to allow her guards to surround them now?" she asked him.
"I have no idea Penny" he said watching his mother who walked up to Ironwood.
...
Cerise walked up to Ironwood to have a word with him "Ironwood it seems even your" she looked to the woman "soldier isn't as well discipline as I thought" she said looking back to him "your lucky I wasn't hurt in her little fight or my guards would have done something different".
"I am sorry your empress please except my apology for her behaviour I hope this wouldn't ruin our chances to become friends in the future?" he asked with hope still on them sharing their tech.
"well seeing as I had to employ my guards to stop them" she points to the six of her guards who were still aiming their lancer at them "but I now have to think on weather to arrest her for endangering me and the lives of the students here" she said seeing his eyes shot wide open.
"please it was just a misunderstanding I swear I wouldn't put the lives o..." Winter was cut of by her.
"I know but still I will over look this but next time I might not be so kind" she turned around to see Ozpin and Glynda was approaching them "and Ironwood this will not ruin you chance of us becoming friends" she said seeing him relief of that bit as Ozpin then stated to talk.
Walking pass Ozpin "I will see you in your office" she said walking on with two of her children and her guards now following behind her.
...
They all were now in his office watching that woman walking up and down arguing about that man and how he is drunk when he mentioned about their enemy was here which shocked her "wait why wasn't I informed of this!" Cerise said sounding angry at this.
"we are sorry but I thought it was best not to worry you" Ozpin said shacking his head.
"that our empress yo...!" Crimson shouts out bring her sword out to him.
"stop!" Cerise shouts to her seeing her backing off placing her sword away while bowing her head to her now looking to Ozpin "Ozpin I will allow this one Misshapen to slip by but don't keep me out of the loop ever again!" she said walking to the lift she pushes a few buttons on her wrist then seeing one of their small bot at the window smiling to herself as she went into the lift with the others as the doors closed she punched the a wall in an angry breathing way "dam him I knew he was hiding something I am sure he is hiding more!" she said angry about this.
"what should we do about this infiltrator mum?" Ebony asked her.
"nothing yet we don't who they are so we will wait for now just keep an eye out for any suspicious activity" she said as they door open and walking off.
"so how did it go with Weiss?" Crimson asked while feeling sorry for her actions back there.
"well I told her but she need time to process this so I hope she will accept it" she said looking up at the night sky "plus it was nice to see Winter now" looking back at her children "now then it time for bed so head on up and sleep for your round will be starting tomorrow" she said seeing them nodding and walking off to their room as she then walked off to her ship for the night.
...
Meanwhile Cinder was looking over the plan she was still worried about that wolf empire interfering as she made contact with her mistress "ha Cinder what news do you bring?" she hears her asking.
"well everything seems to be going to the plan but the only problem I have is those two children from the wolf empire their fight is tomorrow and I can't chose who they fight because they are the ones who are choosing so meaning if they chose us we could be out of the fight!" she said worried about giving her this news.
"do not worry if that happens then so be it but I am more concerned on why they chose to come out of hiding now" she paused for a moment "no matter all it matters now is we stick to the plan" she said cutting off the communications leaving Cinder alone and worried about them being picked by those to children.
