~Final Chapter: The Way Out~
As Margro says "Why did I fail to protect my leader?", she then quickly realizes the situation shes in. She has now entered a forest entirely unknown to her, hanging on a motorcycle several feet above trees. The thoughts ranged on how to get off the motorcycle to if Grimm would be around. So she decided to first prioritize on getting off the motorcycle.
At first, Margro thought that it could be easy to get off the motorcycle but realized of the branches that she was stuck in. So it came to her to get out of the branches. And that's when she heard the howls of beowolves and started to rush more faster and faster to where it became even more complicated. She finally got the tree branches taken off but fell with the motorcycle close to her falling as-well.
As she hit the ground, it was much more of a harder snow. And she screamed for a second. Margro then thought to get her weapon as she heard the beowolf sounds come closer and closer. She then started to walk slowly in the forest. She kept hearing sounds, footsteps, and howls coming louder and louder. As she walked; she thought it'd been at least a few hours since she got out of the tree. So she decided to rest, as she thought she was in the clear.
At that time, it was morning. And as she rested, she saw smoke not far from her. As she had reservations; she decided to take the risk and to go over there. As slow as she was walking, the smoke kept there. She then arrived to see a group of people. Unsure of attacking, Margro went up to the trees to examine. As she saw, they were Faunus citizens; with it ranging from small children to full adults.
Margro then decided to go down to approach them. And as with all things, the reaction of the group wasn't handled well. One of the citizens pulled a gun in-front of Margro. The individual said, "State your business. As I hope you-" The individual said to her realizing she was a faunus. And as soon as he realized it, the entire group did. "Are you the rescue?" The individual said. Margro then responded with, "What do you mean by that? As I am stranded trying to find a way to somewhere.."
As soon as Margro said that. The individual said to her, "..Tell us, why are you here." He held the gun right to her head. "Even if your Faunus, you can still be a White Fang, and we will not allow our children to be taken by then." Margro then said, "I have no affiliation with those scum. They are a bunch of misguided individuals putting our species to shame. So please, stop seeing me as a enemy. And more as.."
As Margro was wording her sentence, she was noticing a huge shadow was emerging from behind the camp. She paused, as the individual was still pulling his gun at her. "What, do you mean as more than.." He then turned back to see the shadow. And as the rest all did. The faunus individuals screamed to see it as a herd of Sinos, a species of Grimm that are akin to tigers with a herd of beowolf behind those.
The camp then grew in panic as a quarter of them, all children and mothers running from the forces. And as Margro was standing, watching the Grimm rampage, she was then tackled by the man that held her at gunpoint. He then said, "Are you out of your damned mind?!". As she was getting her thoughts together, she said; "You held me at Gunpoint, to then be in a situation where a camp is attacked by a entire herd of Grimm. What else could I do?"
They kept in hiding, as the Grimm was attacking those who defended the mothers and children. Margro said to him, "Let me help you. Sure, I was a member of the White Fang but we are on the same side. As I'm trying to find someone. Someone I help with." The man thought for a second but heard a scream that made his eyes open. He then said, "Fine. Just stay out of my way!" He then jumped as he unleashed his weapon onto the hordes of Grimm attacking the area that the scream happened.
As Margro decided, she helped cover those who were running as her aura was depleting more and more she used it. She made walls after walls of Ice to block the Grimm from taking those lives but as she depleted her aura, it started to take its toll. Margro then decided to take on the grimm head-
on to help aid those who attacked the Grimm. As she reached one of the other Sinos; the last bit of Aura she had was gone.
As she realized the Aura was gone, she realized that her weapon was for only so good. And started to run to find shelter. But as she kept running, she saw those who were falling to the Grimm and died in-front of her eyes. But she kept running. She then got attacked by a large group of beowolves and was then cornered. As she thought it could be the end, she had her weapon at the ready and started to fire.
As she started to fire, a object was falling from the sky, as it then multiplied to multiple objects. And as Margro was starting to run out of Ammo, she noticed these objects as she started to jump high in the trees. As she was at almost the tip of one of the trees; a beowolf snatched her leg as the two fell down. And as they fell, Margro tried to run once more but the massive amount of Grimm started to overwhelm her.
That was until the objects that were falling out of the sky landed to the forest. The grimm then looked at those objects. It was a Elysian Knight; as one of the machines said, "Hi." The grimm then attacked the knights as more started to fall. That was then when Margro realized that Atlas had kept track of her since the attack. Margro was then asked by one of the knights, "Margro Hunt, hop on the exoskeleton to get back to base." She was forced into doing it, as she had to replenish her aura and to regain strength. And as more and more Elysian Knights came crashing from the sky; she jumped on the Knight aiding her and went with the machine.
The machine then burst-ed, at a high speed. As it was traversing through the forest, Margro noticed the Knights slaughtering the Grimm, as it ranged from Ursa's now to the Beowolfs that were there. She also noticed the people that ran from the Grimm were being taken to Elysian transport ships. And as the knight was running to one of the transport ships, it stopped. "Take the ship, head back to Atlas for a new mission assignment. That is a order, Mrs. Hunt." As she could say something, the robot ran off, as the ship was about to go. So she entered, as it was heading back to the city, of Atlas.
As the day went by, in the city of Atlas; Margro arrived at the Communication center in Atlas. She was arrived by Winter Schnee in-front of the emergency entrance. "Good evening, Mrs. Hunt." Margro said, "Just call me Margro, Winter. Besides, I've had way too much for one day." Winter responded with, "Fine, Margro. Look; Ironwood wanted me to take you to him for an analysis. " Margro Responded with, "Analysis? What kind of Analysis?" Winter then responded with, "You'll know soon enough, Mrs. Hunt"
As Margro and Winter reached the top of the Communication Center. They were greeted by Elysian Soldiers. "Winter, mind if you and the freak get out of the elevator?" Margro responded with, "You don't have to call me-" "Understood." Winter says as she interrupted Margro. They both walked out of the elevator as the soldiers went in, to the front entrance. "Why though, we don't have to be called freaks." Margro said. Winter responded with, "Its understandable."
They enter the main hall, as Ironwood is looking out at the window. Winter goes to close the door as Margro walks in, observant of the colors of lighting. "I'm sorry," Margro said. "For not protecting Nao. I should of made sure he-" she then paused trying to find a excuse. She then noticed Ironwood starting to turn around. He said as he saw Margro, "I am more sorry for you. You tried all you can to get him back to the base nearby the house, and I respect that."
He walks around the room noticing the people represented. "You ever get the realization that even if you want to fight, you have to wait?" Ironwood asks to Margro. "..Sometimes..but that was before the White Fang changed its leaders." Margro says to him. Ironwood sees a folder at the table as Margro notices it as-well. "What will happen to me, Elena and Auro?" Margro says.
Ironwood then walks to the folder and grabs it. "If your worried of being charged, or being discharged; don't. I want you to consider this, as I'll come back to you tomorrow about it." He puts the folder and slides it to Margro. "Elenas already accepted it, and Auros saying that its a high probability he'll join as well."
She opens the folder as it entails a team of four, acting as a survey/Attack team to hunt down White Fang bases. "Its a plan where we can eradicate the forces of the White Fang. Its also now a plan to find where any hostage, including Nao is located." Ironwood says to Margro as she looks at them.
Margro keeps her eyes on the list of what it entails. She then says, "I'll do it. But, it will be on one condition and one condition only." Ironwood looks at her for a second, "What is it that you want. Is it money or..something else?" he asks to her. She then replys to him, "Its for if we find Nanto, I have the full ability to kill her." Ironwood walks around for a minute, "Is that all?" he says. Margro finally says, "Yes. I don't want money, just the ability to kill her and to find Nao."
Ironwood then looks at her, "Well then," he says. "I guess that's something to have." Ironwood then opens the screen keeping the Window from being seen. "I guess you have some time to train them, Margro." Ironwood says as he overlooks. He then asks Margro to leave as soon after, Winter approaches Ironwood. "Shall I go to Elena and let her know that Margros aboard?" She asks. Ironwood then says; "No. And, Winter, would you mind going to your father for now to tell him some of the dust trading successes?" He asks. Winter abides as he looks menacingly out into the distance.
Epilogue
As the days went on, Margro, Elena and Auro were recovering from the events that transpired at the manor. But the Recovery was led short as high test ratings showed they were ready to start training. And as the days became harder for them, they all had the thought of finding Nao, but for different reasons.
Auros was to just find him, in a form of military prescidence but to also find Nanto. But not for the reasons Margro wanted to find her. Margro had wanted to kill her for years, as a thorn in her side that doesn't seem to go out. But as with all things, it wasn't always that. Much like Margro and Auro, Elena wanted to find Nanto for something. But that was for having her only family left in a world full of technology and corruption. Those all lead to the testings.
And as Margro and Auro had to endure the Grimm, "NightWalker". Elena skimed past all that with strategies to not get injected with the grimms toxin thats concocted within the Grimm. With the testings all combined together; Elena showed the most potential out of them, causing her to become the team leader. She was also given the honor of calling her team a name, to which she called it; "M.E.A." Which she made it translated to "Meaningful. Equal. Allience" As they began missions to find and capture many White Fang strongholds.
As during this time, Nao was held as a Prisioner for the White Fang, which he was first shown to Roman as he and Nanto made a way to let Nao work forcefully within the White Fang. But he couldn't of been alone so Roman sent in another Prisioner, Arietta Hox.
And as they worked together, they made work within the blueprints that was stolen. And as Nao kept working on the project, he had hopes that someday, Elena, Margro, and Auro or anyone would find them and help them. And as Nao and Arietta worked, he reminded himself how far away they really are from Atlas..
And it was far away to the point of Mistral that he became so separated from his own world.
To Nao, he thought one thing was clear. That he'd eventually have the chance to see his young sister..and in a way, he will..
So, as one portion of this tale ends; the next begins. And as you encounter the next volume of Nao and Elenas stories; take note that Elena takes the lead, as I; Crimson will explain more of this next time of the storys of Remnants..Soo..
~Get ready, for Volume Two..resuming..NOW!~
