Chapter 19
Cerise was busy shouting out orders to her army when suddenly she heard Ironwood talking making everyone to stay quiet she listened to him talking about Salem and the Grimms, about the communications tower she was pleased with him now telling everyone about this she went back to her crew when some one shouted out to her "your empress a huge wave of Grimms heading to the hospital evacuation point!" she gasped in worry "get my son on the radio!" she demanded out to him.
...
Ebony was busy with the evacuation when he was told his mother wanted him as he picked up the radio "mother" he said.
"son a huge wave of Grimms heading your way how is the evacuation going?" he looked around seeing there were still lots of civilians being helped into the plane.
"there are still lot of civilians if the Grimms are coming here then I suggest we move it to the landing pad on the hospital roof while we try to defend this point as long as possible" he said feeling this could his and these troops last stand.
He heard his mother sigh "okay son I send some light Grimms to you and please be careful I can't lose you again" he smiled at this.
"don't worry mum I know" he said cutting the line and rushed to get everyone into the hospital to it roof.
...
Crimson over heard the conversation with her brother and her mother looking around she saw Nora keeping people calm as possible "you there!" she shouts to one of her troops who saluted her way "gather 5 walker tanks and some troops we heading to the hospital to help them" she demanded to the trooper who nodded and rushed off to follow those orders.
...
Ruby was with an ace ops when they suddenly felt the ground shaking looking in the direction they had to go they saw an empire track tank driving backwards with it gun firing at something they gasp in shock when they saw another empire tank landed on top of it crushing both tanks and a huge elephant Grimm coming round the corner she couldn't make out if any of the tank crew are alive yet but she knew she had to deal with this Grimm first.
...
Once she and the other dealt with the Grimm the three of them smiled when Ruby saw the two crushed tanks one of it gun aimed for them quickly she grabbed onto the other two and made them hit the ground just a shell passed by them looking behind her she gasped at seeing a Griffin Grimm was almost on them only to be killed by the tank.
She looked back to the two tanks and saw with horror the bottom tank gun finally giving in and dropped to the ground quickly they three rushed to the tanks and tore into wherever they could.
Once they managed to open the armour up they were shock to see both tank crews were dead only the gunner who fired the gun slowly dying "gi...ve...thi...to...my...team...!" they heard her saying weakly holding a piece of paper out to them as Ruby grabbed it they saw her body went still and her breathing was no more looking at the paper she saw the word "to my beloved lover" she felt Penny hand on her shoulders.
"come on we still need to get these people to safety!" she hears her saying in a sad tone as she nodded to her and walked away from the tanks.
...
A woman with her child was at the hospital evacuation as she noticed they were being ushered into the hospital looking around she caught one of the soldiers attention "excuse me what going on?" she asked with fear in her voice.
"we have reports of a huge wave of Grimms heading our way so we are getting you all out by the roof while we will try to hold them off long as possible" she gasped in shock as now knew and understood what they were doing as she smiled to him and walked off into the building.
...
Ebony had just finished getting the last civilians into the hospital he saw more troops landing and the door open to reveal light Grimms were there thanking his mother for the extra support he suddenly heard "GRIMMS!" from one of his soldiers screaming out as he rushed to the first wall he saw the huge wave of them all different types of them "well let do this!" he shouted out making them cheer out and getting their weapons ready as they then opened fire.
...
Crimson was in an armoured vehicle with the Winter pack and a few extra soldiers as they were smashing their way through the streets worried about her brother "commander take a look!" she face the drive at the front looking through the window she gasped in horror seeing the hospital was a total mess their tanks were no longer moving troops on the ground dead and a huge amount of Grimms trying to get into the hospital.
Not waiting a second later "get in there and kill them" she said hearing the soldiers all shouting out enthusiastically as they rushed out the back of the vehicle and started to clear the area.
...
It been an hour now and Ebony and the others were now inside the hospital after they had to pull back the civilians were gone but they couldn't get out the Grimms were forcing their way into the hospital he looked around seeing the soldiers were prepared to use anything as cover as they were ready to fight in the building, when suddenly they heard a huge explosion and gun fire from out side looking out through the window he smiled as he saw it was his sister with reinforcement and the Grimms rushing away they opened the door and Ebony rushed to his sister "sister!" he said hugging in to her as he felt her hugging back.
"Great timing I say" he smiled when he heard her saying that as he nodded to her.
...
Cerise smiled when she heard her daughter had managed to get to the hospital but was suddenly shocked when she heard Ruby over the communications shouting about Ironwood enforcing Marshall law and was abandoning the evacuation "WHAT!" she screamed out in anger "GET ME IRONWOOD NOW!" she screamed at the top of her lungs making the crew fear of her just then she heard Ironwood on the line.
"your empr...!" she cuts him off before he could say anything.
"what is this I am hearing your enforcing Marshall law" she said keeping her anger hidden.
"I have no choice" she shaken her head at this.
"no there are always a choice Ironwood I am telling you right now don't do this or else you will make me do something I don't want to do" she said hoping he changed his mind.
"I am sorry but I am doing it this way" she closed her eyes at this.
"then I am sorry as well Ironwood you have just made an enemy out of me" she looked up to her crew who all know what she meant "all forces Atlas is now a hostile protocol Clear Tyranny is in effect!" she said with sadness in her voice as she watched in sadness as her ships guns turned to facing the Atlas fleet who had begun to fire on her ships while her ships opened fire on them "get the sister ship in here now" she said to a crew member who got onto a radio.
"your empress a huge air born Grimms in the area!" she faced the crew member who shouted out to her.
"heading?" she asked him "right here!" she only heard just before she looked to the window to see huge numbers of Griffin's Grimms rushing to her ship and rammed into the bridge.
...
Crimson and Ebony was shocked by their mother telling them that Atlas was now an enemy but before they could do anything they looked up and saw their mother ship and a huge number of Griffin's Grimms ramming into the ship they watched in horror as they saw the bridge was suddenly engulfed with flames "NO!" Crimson screamed out in horror as her brother held her up and climbed her into a plane along with him, Sienna pack and their Winter pack.
"sister stay with me she might still be alive" she looked to her brother and nodded with tears.
...
On board the sister ship they were given the order to get to the city as the crew fired up their engines along with the other fleet as they made their way to the city.
...
Cerise was just coming around seeing her bridge was a total wreck fire was everywhere and some other crew members were rushing in to the bridge to help the injured crew up to get them to the infirmary as she herself was help up "your empress we need to get you to the infirmary" she shaken her head.
"no get me to the secondary bridge I need to keep command of this situation" she said as she walked away with the crew helping her along the way.
...
Ironwood was shocked to see that this empress was now turning her guns against his fleet he watched in shock as her ships pounded into his ships as they were doing much damage he did ordered his fleet to attack back shaking his head he walked off to the vault where the relic was being kept.
...
Crimson and Ebony were please to hear that their mother was safe and alive which brought them to calm down when both of them noticed the old lady and the old man walking down in the street landing their plane and helping them in "where are you two going?" Ebony asked them.
"to the Academy to see what going on, why is you mother fighting the fleet?" both of them looked at each other nodding.
"Ironwood has placed a Marshall law on which in turn enforced our mother to play protocol clear Tyranny which means anyone who is helping Ironwood is an enemy" Crimson said as they felt their plane moving to the Academy.
...
Cerise was now standing on another bridge they call the secondary bridge which was located under the ship keeping it safe it wasn't big but it had the important equipment there need to keep the ship fighting "where is my children and Sienna pack?" she asked as a medical staff was attending to her wounds.
"they are all on a transport plane heading to the Academy to rescue Ruby and the others" she nodded thinking about this "okay get Sienna Khan pack into the Academy and to locate the Winter maiden" she said to a trooper who rushed off.
...
Yang was fighting the ACE ops when she saw Blake being held but before anything could happen they all stopped when they saw a missile hitting the roof causing a huge whole in the roof to open up everyone gasp when they saw the Atlas fleet being beaten by the empire ships "see I knew they were our enemies!" she hears one of the Ace ops shouting out as they went back to fighting.
...
Crimson and Ebony landed and help both the old couple off and followed them but not before they all noticed more of their ships have arrived and the biggest one as well that had several different size rings in the middle of it "oh no she brought one of the sister's ships" Crimson said worried about this.
"what does it do?" she hears the old man asking.
"they are our solution to Uniting the world together one of them can destroy a whole city two of them a Kingdom but all six of them placed at certain locations can kill the whole planet" Ebony said watching as it made it way to their mother group of ships.
"come on we need to get moving" Crimson said as they rushed of in one direction while the Winter pack stayed to keep the plane safe as Sienna pack heading in a different location both Crimson and Ebony knew why.
...
As they were rushing through the building they could hear Ruby talking rushing around the corner they all stopped and saw the ACE ops were all tied up and knocked out "cool you fought them" Ebony said impressed by this.
"come on we have our plane waiting to go we'll just leave them here" Crimson said keeping everyone on track and not too distracted by this.
"wait your mum my auntie is fighting Atlas why?" they heard Weiss asking them.
"it not our fault nor our mother it because we have protocols in place which means if certain people do certain thing it in turns forces us to use them like this Marshall law which has made our mother to enact the Clear Tyranny please we will explain everything better once we are out of here" Crimson said as they saw Weiss sigh and nodded to them as they rushed off.
...
Cerise watched in sadness of the battle that raged on seeing her ships and soldiers all fighting or dying "I want a full retreat!" she said catching everyone attention on the bridge.
"um... where to?" she hears one asking unsure about this.
"I don't care where just tell them to evacuate the city get out and head anywhere but here same with the ships" she said taking a seat and felling exhausted by this as she watched the crew rushed to do that.
...
Sienna Khan was nearing the room when they bashed the door down they saw a huge winter blizzard as they all walked into the room and looking around the place when suddenly it calmed down the wind had stopped and it wasn't as cold looking they could see Penny talking to an old woman walking up to the pair they heard them talking about something.
...
Everyone on the transport plane heard Cerise ordering a full on retreat from Atlas with no location to head to they all saw their ships starting to head away and saw a huge ground vehicle's all driving away from the city when they stopped to pick up Jaune and the others Crimson rushed to him and embraced him into a hug as she saw her brother closing the door and then plane moving off.
...
They arrived at what they could see was a huge ice wall Yang opened the door as they saw Ruby, Weiss, Penny and Sienna pack all climbing into the plane Ebony went up to Penny and gave her a hug as they felt the plane moving away.
...
Cerise watched as her ships all went in different directions she couldn't tell who was still alive or missing yet but right now she need to get her army away from here and quickly when one of her crew caught her attention "your empress something big is coming our way" she looked out the window and a dark cloud and out came a huge Grimm she could just make out Salem standing on top of it "get us out of here now!" she screamed demanded her ship to quickly get out "my children please be alright wherever you two are!" she said to herself worried for them both.
...
Everyone on the plane watching with fear as a huge Grimm was moving to Atlas with what they could see Salem herself standing on top of it and all their own ships making a quick get away "pilot get us out of here now!" Crimson shouted to the front as they all felt the plane moving away as quickly as it could leaving behind Atlas.
