Later on that night...

"Well?" Dr. Arthur Watts is holding a secret meeting with Hazel about convincing Sienna to have an alliance with Salem in the middle of the streets. Of course, Hazama, Tyrian, and Pyrrha, still wearing a black-hooded cloak, are also present.

"Sadly, she didn't accept the invitation," Hazel replied with arms crossed, looking disappointment. "It seems she's not going along with the 'rogue' part of the White Fang that Adam did."

"What does it matter?" Hazama commented with a grin on his face. "The invasion can still go on as planned, right?"

"Yes, it can still go as planned," Dr. Watts smirked from behind his mustache and noticed someone is approaching them. It is a man, or rather, a Faunus since he has a lion's tail. He has large light brown hair and red eyes. He wears a white buttoned-up long-sleeved shirt, white pants with a brown cloth around his waist, and black shoes. "Oh, and Hazama, allow me to introduce our spy from the inside. This is Professor Leo Lionheart, the headmaster of Haven Academy."

"Nice to meet you, then," Hazama politely shook the Faunus' hand. He noticed the fearful expression on his face, and he knows what is it about, so he decided to troll him about it. "I take fear has driven you mad."

"It's not like that!" Lionheart said defensively.

"I'm sure it's like that," Hazama flicked his nose with enjoyment. "There's no use hiding it."

"Anyway, let's discuss the plan for our invasion," Dr. Watts brushed off what he is doing to their spy. "Professor Lionheart..."

"Right," the Faunus regained his composure. "As far as we're concerned, the Grimm are coming here for the next two days. There is a fence that prevents them from coming here. Hazel, you will sabotage the fence when that day comes. Of course, this will not only unleash the Grimm into attacking Mistral, but also allowing the White Fang the same as well."

"And, any reports on that Adam Taurus character coming here?" Hazama asked.

"Oh, he'll be here soon," Dr. Watts puts a hand on his soldiers. "Meeting is over. Everyone is dismissed."

Everyone left the area, except for the two.

"Any ideas how can you inject that to her?" the doctor asked sinisterly about the glass cylinder filled Terumi's energy.

"Oh, I have an idea," Hazama responded with a smirk on his face while holding the item. "I never though I'd see him again."

"Who?"

"Ragna the Bloodedge. I know him. Terumi knew him. Anyway, as for the plan, we'll open a portal during the invasion and send him and his group of friends to Salem's domain. I'm sure they'll defeat her, and when that happens, Tyrian will get inject her with the energy. Then, BOOM! Terumi is back from the dead."

"Nice plan..." Dr. Watts commented thoroughly. "If I do say so myself..."

"Let's be sure that would happen," Hazama commented in return. "If it doesn't, we'll improvise."

"Also, about your slave..." the man pointed to Pyrrha.

"Oh, about her..." the green-haired man said his observations about her. "So far, so good. I got her to do atrocious under my command, mostly murder for example. She's aware of everything she did, and that's what I want because I want her to be in pain."

"It seems you're too excited for emotions like pain."

"Yup, ever since I felt pain for the first time," Hazama recalled his experience of how he got a hole from being stabbed by Trinity before taking his leave. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I got some allergies I wanted to get rid of."

"I don't get it, Hazama."

Ilia complained as she is guided by him to the hotel room where Blake is. Inside, she is sleeping next to Yang. How nice of a happy reunion between them. There's also Ragna, Ruby, Weiss, and Penny.

"Let me tell you something, my dear," Hazama touched her chin. "I'm allergic to cats, so whenever I go near that cat Faunus for a former friend, I'll be sneezing constantly."

"But you're doing fine when you fought her," Ilia pointed out.

"Just barely taking control of my allergy."

"I don't know."

The chameleon Faunus doesn't look so good that her hair is turning orange and her skin is turning purple (Author's Note: Just making it up for how her color changes when she hesitates). She is given a task from him to kill Blake, so that his allergy won't act up when he confronts the group. Sure, they're on different sides, but Ilia doesn't want to hurt her.

"So this is the feeling of hesitation," Hazama grinned at this. He opened his golden eyes before he grabs her throat with his left hand while threatening her with one of his knives held on his right hand. "Don't get any ideas, my dear. You're going to decide whose side are you on, eventually. I don't get why you won't hurt her, even if she left the White Fang, and I don't get why you still do what you do when she left. Also, I don't give a damn about Adam."

He lands a little cut on her face before dropping her to the ground.

"Your choice, Ilia. Your choice," he said before leaving the area.

It's up to Ilia to decide.

She entered the room quietly and of course, her color changed to blend in. She approached the bed where Blake and Yang are sleeping and raised the whip on their heads, intending to strike the former down. As she is about to do it, she felt like her conscience is telling her not to hurt her former friend. Even if the word 'former' is empathized, she couldn't do it, so she left the room with sorrow. With that, her hair turned blue and her skin turned green.

"Couldn't do it, huh?" Hazama spoke. "Fine, then," he raises his foot from the ground to stomp her head down to the ground. "No rush. I'll deal with this myself when the invasion comes or before the invasion comes."

He left the area, leaving Ilia crying with tears.

"Are you saying you remembered his 'will'?" Raven asked Rachel and Hayari as they're sitting in a firewood for the night.

"Yes, the will to go on," the formerly pigtailed girl responded with tears on her eyes.

"How about you, Hayari?" the dark-haired woman turned to her guide. "What's the promise you're going to fulfill by killing her?"

Author's Note: What do you think? I need help. Two things: 1.) about Ilia, and 2.) about Rachel and Hayari meeting Ragna. Will Rachel regain her memories and Hayari will know something about him. Comment, please.
