CHAPTER TWO

The Major's Origin

RWBY reacts to: The Hellsing "I want war" speech (OVA)

"So," Says the Major, with the trademark grin he always has "before we begin, I have a question. Do you have any idea where I came from, or who I was based on?"

"You have told us pretty much the bare-minimum amount of information here. Also based? I was under the impression that you were some sort of deity." says Glynda, slightly confused.

"My dear, if I was a deity pinnaple on pizza would cease to exist. But no, I am not a deity, I am a normal mortal just with extraordinary power. My…. God my creator… based me on someone from fiction who was insane, more insane than I could ever dream of." The Major said, struggling for the first time to put something into words "The man he based me on was from fiction, but now I am real and my entire appearance would resemble that man. He was not as fun as me, he loved only one thing. That thing was war. I love war as well, but I have learned to love other things as well. He only had war, and in a sense war only had. That is what we will be watching. My speech to my troops, played by you people."

Ruby, sitting next to Torchwick and Yang respectively asked "That's a lot to take in, how does the screen even work? And why even show us your origin?"

The Major replied with "Because I gave a speech that would make Salem herself tremble." This got the three who knew about Salem's attention "Anyways, on with the show!" He presses play on his remote.

The screen comes to life and begins with that old black and white 10, 9, 8, 7 countdown. When the screen comes to life we see Cinder fall smiling and when it pans out, the audience sees her in the major's outfit.

"My friends," Cinder says "It has often be said that I like war. My friends I like war-no, friends, I love war!"

Ironwood and Ozpin gave the screen a look that would kill a Goliath. Roman and Neo did the same, but that was mostly because it reminded them that their former employer was still out there.

We see the camera pan to show an army of White Fang soldiers at attention. We see the White Fang logo in the back of the area with a wolf on top.

Now it was Blake's turn to glare. She finally had gotten over her former feelings for Adam, and this just reminded her of it.

"I love holocausts, I love blitzkriegs, I love defensive lines, I love sieges, charges, I love mop-up operations, and retreats" while Cinder is saying all of this, the camera pans so we can see the back of Emerald, Mercury, Cinder, Hazel, and Neo respectively.

Ruby was going to ask Torchwick why Neo was with the group, but she saw Torchwick frantically looking for his lighter and decided it was a question for later.

"Wars across prairies, in streets, in trenches, in grasslands, in frozen tundras, through deserts, on the sea, in the air, I love every act of war that can occur upon Remnant"

Both of the teams were scared of Cinder now. The way she seemed to be happy about seeing people die in war. They fought the Grimm, and that was terrifying enough. Fighting other humans to death on a mass scale? That was a horrifying concept.

The camera switches to show some Faunus working on some machines. "I love blasting the enemy to smithereens with artillery salvos that thunder across the line of battle." Says Cinder, still in that psychotic voice.

"My heart leaps with joy whenever a soldier is tossed high into the air and cut to pieces by well-placed sniper rounds." The camera cuts to show a close up of Cinder's face "And there is nothing like a tank operator using a Tiger eight eight to destroy enemy tanks. And the feeling that comes when a soldier runs screaming from his blazing tank only to be mowed down by heavy machine-gun fire is such an exquisite feeling." The camera shows some White Fang members on standby "Like when ranks of infantry brandish their bayonets rushing into the enemy line. It moves me deep within my heart to watch a fresh recruit stabbing over and over into the bloated chest of a long-dead enemy."

Glynda just could not believe what she was hearing. Not even Salem herself would say these monstrous things. How can one person enjoy seeing so many deaths?

"The sight of deserters being strung up from a street lamp is an irresistible pleasure. And there is nothing more arousing, than the sounds made by prisoners of war dropping like flies, screaming in agony as they are mowed down by ear-piercing schmeissers!"

"When a band of pitiful resistance fighters makes their final stand with nothing but small arms, only to have their city smashed to atoms block by block by 4.8-ton bombshells! I'm in ecstasy"

Now everyone was grossed out, especially Roman, because he had to deal with Cinder trying to seduce him when it was clear he was not interested. Why she even felt the need to seduce him he was still trying to figure out. He was scared of her, all you really need to control someone is fear.

"I love it when my forces are ravaged by an Atlas armored division. It's so sad to see towns and villages that were supposed to be defended at all costs, being laid to waste, their women and children being raped, and killed. I love to be squashed under the heel of the Vale and Mistrial war machines. The humiliation, as my men crawl around like vermin, ducking for cover to get away from the bullheads flying above."

"Gentlemen… All I ask for is war, a war so grand as to make Hellitself tremble. Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers and sisters in arms, what is it that you really want? Do you wish for further war like I do?" Cinder starts to raise "Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron, and lightning, and fire?" Cinder begins to yell "Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest, leaving not even ravens to scavenge, from Remnant?" The White Fang soldiers salute and began to chant "War! War! War!"

"...Very well. Then war is what you shall have. We are a clenched fist, ready to strike down all who oppose us, with our might."

Everyone was scared now. Not really of Cinder, but of all of the men and women who started to chant. They looked just as excited for war as Cinder is. So many people ready to kill as many as possible.

"But… After enduring over half a century wallowing in the darkness, for us, a simple 'Ordinary' war will no longer be sufficient." Cinder throws out her arm. "WE NEED A MASSIVE WAR! A WAR BEYOND ANY OTHER THAT MAN'S HISTORY HAS EVER KNOWN!"

"We are but a single battalion… The remnants of a defeated army numbering less than one thousand strong. However, I believe that each of you old warriors is equal to a thousand of their sickly, soft, children! We represent a force that could easily defeat an army of a million and one men!"

Ironwood begins to wonder what makes her so confident that one thousand men could defeat the armies of Vale and Atlas.

"It is time for them to awake the ones who sent us screaming us into oblivion, and who now lie sleeping. Let's drag them out of the bed by the hair, and remind them of what we are! We will remind them what it feels like to live in fear. We will remind them the sound our jackboots make against their throats."

The camera cuts to a shot of Ozpin in a priests uniform looking at the red moon. His eyes narrow at the sight.

Ozpin is surprised by this turn of events "Why am I a priest?"

The Major replies with "You are not just any priest. You are the paladin, Oscar P. Ozpin, the Grimm hunter. You are the churches secret weapon against the monsters of the night."

Ozpin looks into his coffee cup for a moment, possibly thinking about what being a priest would be like. After a moment, he shrugs and looks back to the screen.

"We will remind them, that there are more things between Heaven and Hell than are dreamt in their philosophy."

A White Fang member looks out the window of the Bullhead they are on and says "It's Atlas! We see the lights of Atlas!" We then cut to a scene of two councilmen discussing something, and then we see Goodwitch sitting with Raven by her side.

"Wait, slow down, Raven is working with me?" Goodwitch asks

"Glynda, she doesn't work with you, she works for you." the Major says.

"Our kampfgruppe of one thousand half Grimm soldiers is going to burn this world down to ash." Cinder says with excitement in her voice "Yes, my friends! Soon, Europe's charred remains will illuminate the night sky!"

The camera cuts to a shot of Ruby and Roman looking at the blood-red moon. Roman looks like a mercenary and Ruby is in the same uniform.

Yang says "Aww, look at my sister and her boyfriend being together." Blushes, blushes everywhere from Ruby "I wonder what your job is? Hey, Major! What does my sister do in the story?"

The Major says "They both work for Glynda Goodwitch in the Goodwitch organization. Ruby actually has a master, and her master is Qrow. I don't want to spoil too much in case we see this later."

"I have brought you all back just as I promised I would. Back to our favorite battlefield. Back to our beloved war!" Cinder yells

All of the soldiers salute Cinder as their Battalion Commander

"...At last, the sea lion has crossed the ocean and is heading up the hill. Attention, all soldiers of the Millenium Battalion! This is a message from your commander." Cinder says. The screen begins to fade out.

"...Friends...Let's bring them hell."

The screen shuts off as the Major presses a button on the remote and the screen shuts off. The members of the audience are in shock of just how brutal Cinder was. Then they realized something, this Major was based on that Major. They looked towards where the Major was just moments before, but he was gone, presumably to look for another members of the audience thanked Oum that they were still alive.
