Rwby: a different View,
Due to the number of jumps of point of view I'm broken it down like like this
[locations]
(personal)
Grimm speak (translation)
This will make it simple to see who is in what and with that we will begin.
-chapter start-
[Vale]
[Roman torchwick's hideout] ( after returning from the Hunters heist)
To say Roman was giddy was an understatement. Once again he felt he had a loyal group of followers beside the mindless rabble of the fang under him. He felt confident to go on heists again and not just for cinder but possibly for himself.
He sauntered in chipper and pumped his fist and as dropped the bags and leaned on the table. " oh yea that was good!" He said as he turned around and Neo was there crossing her arms and eyebrows raised
" let me tell you I like those guys." He said before he met Neo's eyes
"Ok yes they did some stupid stuff but the thing is they got results!" He said as he spiked his cane down and caught it on the bounce back.
"Let me tell you for once I really feel confident to actually do a heist with then besides the white fang rabble." Roman said
Neo Rolled her eyes and pointed to herself
"Yes I get it your a nice integral peice but I need to keep you under the radar you go out so much more often than I do and your easer you're be tracked." Roman said
Neo roller her eyes and changed her form into a random women off the street.
"Aura can be traced to the user no matter who they look like." Roman deadpanned
Neo rolled her eyes and changed back to her normal form
Roman sighed and leaned back "well I don't know what to do now, it's gonna be at least 2 or so days until the SDC freighter comes from atlas. We have our recon team out there spotting the dock's for it...so we just sit and wait." He said
He looked down and saw Neo smiling slyly. As she changed her form again this time to something less public.
Roman held a blush and slithered his arm around her waist and pulled her into a kiss " I knew I liked you for something."
As they headed into the bedroom for some...alone time.
[cinder's hideout Vale]
Cinder, Mercury and Emerald sighed as they awaited word from Salem and from Roman about there new heist.
"So is there anything we're supposed to do other than train?" Mercury said as he kicked at a punching bag. While Emerald read a magazine
"As much as I hate to agree with the big dumb oaf, even I'm bored here." Emerald said
Cinder who was looking over her plans for the attack at beacon sighed at her "dumb" minons annoyance but refused to lash out.
"Ohh come on~let's just do something fun for once!" Mercury wined.
"Listen!" Cinder screeched making the two of them freeze in shock
"We are under orders to stay low until we have the time to strike. And we will obey!" Cinder said venting out her rage. Before she smerked in confidence and waltz over to Mercury.
"Unless of course. You wanna have a crack at Salem yourself?" She said
Mercury cracked and looked away
Seeing Mercury successful cowed Cinder returned to her work. As Emerald intervened
"C-come on Mercury lets spar." She said
Mercury nodded and followed
Seeing as she has a silent place to work now Cinder went back to look at the map and plot her assault.
Her plan at the moment includes the rundown train in mountain Glenn to smash into the center of Vale leading the Grimm into the city. And having the white fang who would be on the train in the Atlasean Paladins attack the civilians therefore blaming atlas for the attack, cutting off the most militant power and the best choice to stop Salem, then after that sever the remaining kingdom's leaving atlas alone to be crushed by the vast weight of the Grimm.
The perfect plan. Salem would be proud.
But for that to work she needed the dust for the dust bombs to lure the Grimm into the city. Plus and even more subtle, the stealing people from the streets In order to bring up the fear.
And many of them share views like Ozpin. So the less of them that are running around the better,
[Salems cathedral]
Salem was in her bed chamber in her cathedral thinking, plotting and planning, she knew if Ozma was able to get his plan rolling her plan would come to a catastrophic halt until he was taken care of, weather by death and rebirth. Or something else.
Salem sat on the edge of the bed and looked out of the window to see a storm brewing.
She sighed as she got up and went to see how everyone else was doing.
(Lab)
Salem walked through the lab and looked around at the computers, and test tubes?
Salem looked around and she saw several things that confused her beowolf fur, nails even a full head...and they were not disappearing,
Salem was angry, her children her firends used as tools for this assholes gain Salem was gonna know what was thinking and if she was not satisfied...give a taste of his own medicine.
Salem kicked the door into Dr. Watts lab making him jump from his computer
"Doctor...Watts…" Salem said patiently
"-oh oh my...lady Salem. I-my apologies I didn't know you wanted to see me." He said as he hurried to clean up his mess.
"It's is not that I wanted to see you doctor...it is the fact I've found something distasteful and I'm wondering why I was not informed of it?" Salem said trying her best to hold in her anger and magick.
"My lady...what are you talking about?" Arthur Watts asked as he stood up for all he knew he was of course being completely honest with Salem.
Only did Salem toss the beheaded Beowolf head on the table dripping with red fluid.
Arthur watts sighed disappointed "oh…" he said
"I'll ask you this one time Arthur...what was your goal...and why was I not informed of it?" She asked
Arthur watts shuddered as Salem raised a finger to his eye ready to rip it out in a second.
"My-my lady...my goal was to make stronger Grimm...a version more resistant to dust." Arthur said honestly as he knelt before her.
"Oh?" Salem asked as she leveled her hand waiting for more information.
"Yes it's true! After looking at the information of the battle of Students I felt it necessary." He said trying to get Salem to understand.
"Pick yourself up Arthur, don't grovel at my feet. And explain why you felt it necessary " Salem snapped as Arthur shot up like a rocket
"Well you see Lady Salem. After going through all the data, and what we've seen, the Grimm only weakness is the fact that dust is the only real way to kill them, the metal the huntsman use are dust infused, dust powers there cities, make barricades Grimm can't pass through. And bullets made of the right amount of dust can kill a grimm dead in one shot no matter where it hits. So if I could Eliminate the effects of dust on the Grimm, humanity would be helpless and our strike against Ozpin would be easy and be nearly unbeatable." Arthur said
"And the tests? What have the results given so far?" Salem asked eager for this report.
"The effects of dust on Grimm differ depending on the type of Grimm, and the combination of dust for example, and this has only been tested on beowolf's so I have no idea how much different it would be if say a sea dragon with the electric breath will effect it, but all in all the combination is a mix of fire and electric dust of a 1-3 mix kills most Grimm with one shot." Arthur said
"And you think you can negate this with these...new Grimm?" Salem asked
"I am unsure but I am hoping." Arthur said
"How do you propose to do this?" Salem asked
Arthur sighed. Well after a few tests I have figured that any dust that is implemented into a Grimm's system no matter how much will kill it if it enters the blood Stream or vital organs, so I can only see it as introducing the dust during the changing and breeding process this will cause the dust to be physically attached to the Grimm and if I'm correct able to use it to power it's own attacks.
"As well as negate the dust effects." Salem asked
Arthur nodded
Salem nodded " very well the only question I have left to ask is...why was I not informed of this?" Salem asked
Arthur sighed "due to the HEAVY amount of dust these tests require, and the fact you don't like to have dust interacting with the Grimm of this island I felt it appropriate to not tell you and if they did succeed then I would have told you, and would have accepted any consequences you wished to defy your wishes." Arthur said
Salem smiled. "Very...insightful of you Dr. Watts. Tell me, are you still in contact with other scientists from the project?" Salem asked
Arthur nodded "yes My lady. May I ask why?" Arthur wondered
"Send your research to Dr. Merlot via encrypted channel. Have him take the fall if he is discovered." Salem said
"Also a good jumping off point to the invasion of vale when we are ready, I understand Mistress it will be done." Arthur Watts said as Salem walked out of the lab,
Arthur watts watched her go with a sigh of relief he knew be barely got out of that encounter with his life and was sure she was not happy he will have to be very care going forward.
He got on the computer and found the contact he was looking for and started to message him
DW: hello can I speak to Melot please.
DM: oh hi you have seemed to breach my security system without my notice may I please know as to how you were able to gain entry to my system?"
DW: oh fine Doctor don't you know I don't breech my own system's even those I lend out…"
DM: ahh Anthony to what do I own the pleasure I have to talk to you I knew word of your demise was grossly understated. So tell me what rock are you hiding under now?"
DW: not much of a good hiding spot if I give out my address now is it?
DM: no guess not. To business then?
DW: yes to business...am I correct to assume you still find Grimm remarkable?
DM: oh oh oh my boy it's is easy to see that the Grimm are the perfect life form, a massive hive mind reaching from the age of antiquity for a race to last for such time can only assume either A it's evolved to be weed out the weak or it's started as the perfect life form. And seeing as he have codex's of that time that show the Grimm we have to assume the latter I just need to work on cracking it.
DW: ok ok melot thank you for that I have an idea that you can use to...get the ball rolling.
DM: ah you see thou my lab under Mountain Glenn was destroyed I was able to escape with my files but my pens and subjects were scattered, I have no doubt they are still down there but I have no way to reach them.
Arthur pulled away from the screen 'super powered Grimm still in the mountain Glenn tunnels...they might not be much but they may just help to sway the invasion…' he thought as we went back to typing
DW: am I to assume these all have tracking collars on them?"
DM: what do you take me for some half I'll breed collage dropout Of course they do!
DW: just making sure my firend anyways I have some of my research that I feel will enhance your research and perhaps give you a goal.
Files transferred…
DM: my my doctor this is stunning...I mean if I am to test this I will need complete privacy and on the run like this I don't think that...oh yes I have my own private island of the coast of vale. Yes...and I can easily extract the ore I need there… yes yes, thank you dear doctor I will take this and tell you as soo. As I start getting my lab functioning shall I update you on the progress?
DW: yes doctor please do I am highly fascinated with the results of the test.
DM: haha haha good boy I may show you yet why humanity isn't as superior as we seem.
End connection
Arthur watts sat back smiling "oh dear Merlot if only you knew." He said as he stood up and walked away
[Mountain Glen caves]
Dr Merlot sat in his camp as he looked at his data pad as he received the research from Dr. Watts
He stood up and laughed "good good finally now to get out of these caves and onto my island."
{a few days later}
(Roman torchwick)
In his hideout Roman torchwick watched on his scroll from a personal drone the off loading of the SDC dust. As he flipped the camera to see the other side of the dock being the Atlas shipment of Paladins.
Seeing the opening "alright boys...make a show!" He said
He watched as the boys did just that as half of them took the fire from the cops while the rest stole the Paladins and bailed. He noticed all of the AH crew were actually not distracting the police and only let the White fang rabble he ordered to help them cover them…
'Interesting letting the Fang take the fall so they can easily escape after hmm I'll have to take a plan from there book…' he thought as he looked to his half of the fang rabble.
"Tell me...how do you normally secure dust in containers like this?" He asked
[dock]
It was late at night as the bulkhead landed and the white fang filtered out the one leading the fang stayed on the ramp.
"Alright grab the tow cables!" He said as the other's ran off to grab the needed ropes to hold the containers.
After a while in the passages seat on the bullhead he looked out thinking it was time to go so the next craft could come in. Only to see they were still bickering about the rope.
"Argh idiots!" He growled as he grabbed his cane.
"Hey what's the holdup!" He said as he sauntered out and waved around. "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?" He said
As he walked out to see what's wrong as two members were arguing about the tow cables
"Alright come on give me the cable let me see?" He asked as he yanked the cable from the white fang members grasp and look at it before tossing it back
"No you idiot this isn't the leash!" He said when suddenly he felt a rush of air before he felt metal on his neck
"What the...oh for Fu-." He started
"NOBODY MOVE!" An almost feminine's voice said
Roman watched as the white fang members raised there wepons at him however he didn't trust them to be able to shoot there way outside of a barn so he spoke up.
"Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady." He said
Whatever she did must've been something because he noticed all the Fang members lowered there weapons
"BROTHERS OF THE WHITE FANG? why are you aiding this scum?"
Roman torchwick rolled his eyes 'oh great one of the traitor fang crap. I do not have tine for this.'
"Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?" Roman said
"What are you talking about?" The girl asked
"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!" Roman said
"Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation." The girl said as she pressed the blade closer to Romans neck. Which when he looked down noticed it was backwards. 'Are you fucking serious?!' He asked
He looked up at the rumble of the bulkhead ' fuck out of time!'
"I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation." He said
He felt the blade around his neck loosen as he smerked and he sent a blast to his feet freeing him of the girls grasp.
"WERE OUT OF TIME MOVE THE DUST TO THE BULLHEAD NOW AND SCRAMBLE!" He said as he looked up to see Black still Down from the explosion until she lept up and Dashed away as Roman fired at Blake
"Here kitty kitty…" he said until his hat was forced Down His head and an annoying voice screamed in his ear.
Roman ripped his hat off as a monkey fanuas stood between him and the girl.
"Leave her alone!" He said
Roman looked around and saw another bullhead dropping off White fang members all around him. As he stood anchored. 'Fucking idiotic kids.' Roman thought
"Your not exactly the brightest banana in the bunch are you kid?" Roman taunted
At that the Fang members charged at the monkey who ducked the attack and smacked him with the nunchucks. And kicks. He watched as his nunchucks turned into a staff which sent the members flying.
'Damn fanuas and enhanced senses.' Roman hissed as he ducked a flying white fang member he growled and raised his cane
He fires one shot at the monkey but doesn't connect as Sun leans out of the way giving Blake the change to strike from the shadow's
"He's mine!" She said as she slashed downwards but Roman parried it with his cane,
The girl jumped every which way but got angrier and angrier as she was unable to breech his defense's. He just took it laughing taunting her and having her break form in anger after a while he was successful and went for a punch.
It was a fake as the girl slid into shadows and went to retaliate but Roman was just able to block in time. And they went back at it. Fortunately he got a lucky shot at the girls side and he dam well capitalized on it.
He swung with no regard as she was unable to. Block so many strikes at such a speed as he hit the girl right on the top of her head as she fell to the ground by his feet. He lowered his cane to finish her off when the monkey comes back again and jump kicking Roman away
"Gah!" He cried as he was under a barrage of fire from The monkey and under that barrage was the combo of gun-chucks aimed at him.
And from under the barrage of The monkey which he was ready to retaliate when suddenly The girl charges and sends him flying back
He looks up and sees the notable distraction fires his cane at the rope sending the cargo container down to the dock he watch as the girl jumped behind and the monkey...well he was right in range.
'Finally we can get back on track-.' Roman thought as he was cut off
"Hey!" A voice he recognized and turned to see the girl in red there with the scythe in the roof
"Oh hello red! Isn't it past your bedtime?" He asked
He noticed that her attention was turned away from him 'that mistake will be your last kid.' He said as he aimed and fired. Sending her flying.
"NO!" The monkey kid screamed
He laughed evilly before he turned back to the monkey and aimed his cane back at him
"Now let's deal with you-." He said when suddenly his cane was shot out of his hand by a sword
"What the hell?!" He screamed as he dived to safety.
He looked up in time to see a ginger with a green dress and floating swords massacring his troop of fang.
He made his chance to escape to the bullhead which was able to have some dust
"These kids just keep getting weirder…" he said as he pulled the door down with his cane and flew off.
He looked and saw that in formation several other bullhead's with dust followed him. While he lost one shipment the rest was still a success. As he made it to his hideout.
He just hoped those bastards made it, he really liked those guys
(Hideout)
Roman torchwick dropped the bullhead and disconnected the crate from the underside nearby Neo watched smerking .
Roman walked out and threw the doors open and started to laugh
He walked in and came out with a case of powered dust and smiled
"This will be good dust to show off our employer for our weekly review…" he said as he looked up to Neo.
( a few days later)
Roman watched on the tv of the hideout as the news came on as expected the news of the dust heist was there. But what he also noted was 5 murders. The victim's were unknown but they were burned to ash and all valuables were stolen off them
Roman only had a glimps and he knew who it was the symbol was undeniable it was his new Firends those who were to steal the Paladins. And the cause wasn't hard to Suss out either.
Cinder…
She did this.
Roman growled he would get to the bottom of this. He was not happy.
[that night]
Roman walked into the unmarked open warehouse alone carrying the dust
He put the dust on the table and sighed sadly at the loss.
"How very disappointing, Roman."
Roman turned around suddenly when he hears the voice and their noisy entrance
"Whoa! Hehe... I wasn't expecting to see you guys so soon..." he said caught off guard
Cinder, Mercury and Emerald stood there. Mercury cracked his neck wanting action
"We were expecting... more from you." Cinder said
"Hey! You were the ones who suggested working with those stupid mutts from the White Fang." Roman said
"And you will continue to do so." Cinder said as she summons a fireball in her hand and steps out of the darkness with her two companions, a purple-haired man and mint-haired, tanned woman, eyes glowing gold
"We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is... a little cooperation." She smiled
"You know I would be fully willing to corporate if you wouldn't Kill my Firends!" Roman hissed
"Hey Tim?" A voice said from above?
"Yea Ryan?" Another voice said
"Did I hear that Roman torchwick himself calls us his firends?" Ryan asked
"I do believe." Tin said as they both jumped from the rafters to reveal both Ryan Haywood and Little TimTim. In black Kevlar body armor and military grade M16's
Battle Buddies!
Roman was shocked
"But y-your?" Roman was left speechless
"It was a dummy." Cinder pulled us out of a hotspot. TimTim explained.
Roman looked to Ryan "and the others?"
"In the safe in the wearhouse watching over the merch." He said
Roman laughed and smiled "I can't believe it I got pranked. Oh that's amazing. Well if there isn't anything else to do I will get going. Ryan Tim you wanna join me with more hiests?" Roman asked
"Sure man, we will pick up the others too." Ryan said
