Chapter 33
Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update, lots of things happened BUT here I am with a new fresh chapter for you! I also want to say that I will not be able to update my stories very often because is the tests period at my school
At the Mistral Secret Force hideout
Tatsumi was inside the conference room, he was sitting in front of a big table, beside him there was Esdeath and Mine and in front of him there was the man called Saturn with some of his subordinates. Tatsumi was happy knowing that he wasn't the only one fighting the corruption of the world.
"The first thing I want to say is that we are honored the meet the saviors of Vale" Saturn began to say "You saved a lot of people there"
Tatsumi smiled at him "The honor is ours. We didn't thought that here was somebody else fighting for the defenseless people. It was a pleasant surprise" he said with a sincere tone
Esdeath wanted to roll her eyes but she preferred to keep her stoic expression. She didn't considered herself a savior especially because she helped save the city only for Tatsumi and also for the joy of killing somebody again.
Mine's mind, in the meantime, was in another place. She didn't cared for the exchange of compliments especially since she didn't participated at the battle of Vale. She couldn't help but think at Mitsu, when she went out with the others to meet the MSF (Mistral Secret Force), she had to leave Mitsu with Blake's parents. Mine was really grateful to the two faunus but she wanted to stay with her daughter as much as possible.
In the other hand, Saturn was really glad that the New Empire Forces were there. In the recent time the activity of the White Fang is exponentially increased and he was worried about this.
Azure, who was sitting next to Saturn, wished to be somewhere else. He really didn't like meetings like this one, he wanted to go tease Regalia but in this moment she was looking for her sister.
Gray was trying to analyze the three members of NEF (New Empire Forces) but he couldn't get any impressions of them. The one that scared him the most, was the blue haired woman named Esdeath, she was hiding her killing intent but Gray knew that she was up to something
"Now we have to talk about the future course of action" Saturn said with a serious tone
Tatsumi made a serious expression and nodded "Yes, we have"
"The MSF are available to cooperate with the New Empire but I have to clarify some things" Saturn said and Tatsumi nodded "If you want to reunify the Remnant, you'll have to fight the council at some point and, in that regard, I am strongly against the idea of fighting my former comrades. You see before coming here I was in the Atlas army."
Tatsumi nodded "I understand, I wouldn't ask this much from you." He began to say "As you said, the conflict will be unavoidable and when the war will start many civilians will be in danger"
At this statement Saturn, Azure and Gray made a puzzled look and waited for the dragon emperor to continue
"That's why I want ask you to keep the civilians safe while we fight against the Council" Tatsumi stated. Azure and Gray were shocked while Saturn was pleased by the proposal.
"The voices on your count seems to be truthful" Saturn said with a genuine smile "I think that MSF and NEF are going to get along really well"
Tatsumi and Saturn shared the same satisfied look while Azure was a little confused by the situation
'Are we done here? I want to return to Mitsu' Mine thought as she glanced at the exit
Saying that Esdeath was bored by the meeting was an euphemism, she was trying to not fell asleep. Esdeath couldn't care less of these people but since it was important for Tatsumi, she decided to act interested at least.
Tatsumi knew how Esdeath was bored by this meeting. At the start he didn't want to make her participate but since the battle of Vale, she grew more and more famous and became one of the symbols of the New Empire.
"Now that we clarify this, we can move on other things…" Saturn said as he began to talk with Tatsumi
Meanwhile outside
Regalia was extremely happy at the idea of seeing of her sister again after all this time. She was running through the corridors of the hideout, looking for the vehicles hangar where the NEF soldiers were located. When she finally arrived , she began to ask to some soldiers where her sister was. She was also surprised seeing that the soldiers level was pretty high. She dismissed the thought when she finally saw ,in the crowd of soldiers, her sister's red hair. Regalia used her stealth skill lv 3 to jump on the red haired girl
"Pyrrha!" she yelled as she hugged her big sister "I missed you so much"
Pyrrha, who was completely unaware of Regalia's presence, was really surprised to see her little sister with the MSF "Regalia?! What are you doing here?"
Regalia giggled and continued to hug her sister "I'm working of course but right now as you can see I'm hugging you!"
Pyrrha began to pat Regalia's head "You are with the Mistral Secret Force"
Regalia broke the hug "Yes, I'm the leader of the Centaurs Warriors section specialized in close quarters combat and in healing" she said with an immense amount of pride
Jaune, who was standing right next to them, was dumbstruck. He had a shocked expression and somewhat scared since Regalia popped out the nowhere.
Regalia looked at the blonde boy and then to Pyrrha, she activated her semblance and saw something that shocked her "BOND LEVEL 10?! PYRRHA, YOU DIDN'T TOLD ME ANYTHING?!" She shouted shocked
Pyrrha blushed a little "I'm sorry! I didn't have time!"
"For a call?!" Regalia said as she puffed her cheeks
"I'm so sorry! I swear I was really busy with all that happened" Pyrrha replied
"Okay , but only because you survived an extremely dangerous battle and…OH DUST! YOU FOUGHT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BATTLE" Regalia said as she hugged Pyrrha again "Do you know how much I was scared?!" she added as some tears fell from her eyes
"I'm sorry for making you worry" Pyrrha said as hugged back her little sister "But it's okay I'm here"
Jaune looked at the two sisters and smiled. Suddenly Yang came closer
"Sooo who's the girl that is hugging Pyrrha" Yang asked with a curios tone
"Ehm….I'm not sure, I think she is Pyrrha's sister" Jaune said as he looked at the Nikos sisters
"Whoa! Pyrrha has a sister?! That's awesome" Yang said surprised
Regalia looked at the blonde boy and narrowed her eyes "So, who are you?"
Jaune gulped and made an awkward smile "I'm Jaune Arc, I'm…Pyrrha's boyfriend"
Regalia raised an eyebrow "You are a level 30? Pyrrha why are you with a low rank guy?"
"HEY I'M STILL TRAINING" Jaune complained but Regalia ignored him, waiting for her sister reply
"because I love him" Pyrrha replied
Regalia sighed and let go her sister "Fine…I bet you're hungry, let's get something to eat. We have a lot to talk about"
Pyrrha nodded and began to follow her sister with Jaune.
In Mistral streets
"Are you sure of this route?" Oscar asked at the man in front of him as he looked at a map of the city
"Oh for the love of god, can you please shut up for two seconds? I know where I'm going" Kuro Kaito replied with frustrated tone. The two of them were headed to the industrial zone, Kuro Kaito decided to take a shortcut but since then the boy who was with him began to ask if he was sure of this shortcut. At the start he didn't mind the boy questions but now he began to have an headache
"Oscar, you should stop asking if he's sure every five minutes" Ozpin said inside Oscar's head
"I know Ozpin , but this street isn't even in the map" Oscar complained
Kuro Kaito raised an eyebrow "Are you talking alone kiddo?"
"Just with the voice in my head" Oscar replied without thinking
"Ooookay then" The man replied 'Yay I'm travelling with a psychopath' he thought
At the NEF hideout
Hideaki was walking in the hallways of the New Empire Forces looking for Seryu. He just finished some tasks that both Saturn and Najenda had given to him and now he wanted to catch up with his friend. Finally, when he passed in front of the laboratory, he saw Seryu weaving her arms at him with a smile on her face
"Hide!" Seryu shouted she approached him "I was looking for you! Do you want go outside? I have many thing to tell you!"
Hideaki began to check his surroundings, looking for the little dog named Koro. Seryu noticed his behavior and giggled "don't worry , I left koro with doctor Stylish, it's just me and you"
The boy smirked and chuckled "Good, because I hate that dog!" then he took Seryu's hand and began to drag her outside "Let's go! I know the perfect place"
Seryu blushed a little even she was a little annoyed by the fact that Hideaki hated Koro
After a long walk the two arrived in a small square with an ice cream shop. Hideaki dragged Seryu inside and placed her in front of the various ice cream tastes.
"Gerome, One with strawberry and vanilla " Hideaki said with a cheeky smile
Seryu looked at him surprised "You still remember my favorite?" she asked
"Of course! I remember everything! Your favorite color, your favorite song" Hideaki began to say with pride in his voice while Seryu's blush grow more intense
The ice cream man named Gerome, handed Seryu's ice cream to Hideaki, who give it to Seryu "this one Is free" he said as he winked at Hideaki
Hideaki didn't know why Gerome winked at him but he paid him no mind "Let's go eat outside!" he said as he walked outside
Seryu followed him. The two sat outside and began to talk about their new life in this new world but suddenly all the happiness was taken away when Hideaki saw a familiar hooded man, he got up and unsheathed his sword
"You!" he yelled as he pointed the sword at the hooded man
the hooded man seemed to chuckled "Boy, I suggest you to find a cover" the man said and Oscar, who was behind him, went behind a wall
"I won't let you get away this time Kuro Kaito" Hideaki shouted as Seryu got up and took a defensive pose
Meanwhile at the White Fang Headquarters
Syura was looking at the map of Mistral, next to him there was Izou and Cosmina
"So what we are going to do?" Izou asked
"We'll attack the city" Syura replied with a grin
"The city? But Salem is only interested in the academy" Cosmina said as she put one hand on her chin
"No, we would be defeated in no time. If we attack the whole city, the New Empire would have to split up to protect they precious civilians" Syura replied "Salem will understand".
Then Dorothea entered the room with a smile "Syura-sama our soldiers have reached the three thousand units"
Syura began to laugh "Perfect keep going! We need more of them if we want to fight the New Empire! If necessary you can kidnap whoever you want! When we'll attack they will be hopeless!"
Dorothea nodded with a grin and left the room.
"This time we'll get what we want" Syura stated "And I'll do whatever it costs" he added as Izou and Cosmina nodded with a grin
