7:35pm, Somewhere in Argus, at the waterfall.
Adam still lie on the ground unconscious...
"Gah!" - Adam's eye open wide as he get up immediately. He's looking around, realize that it was night time, then he hold his head as he remember why he's here. He did remember he's here to kill Blake, then he got accidentally knock out by Drake, but then...
"brother." - A voice echoed inside his mind. Then Adam slam his fist to the ground, gritted his teeth in frustrated.
"That armored bastard knock me out, i don't know who he is. But i will kill him, and then Blake!" - Adam muttered angrily.
Meanwhile, in Mantle. A group of Atlas soldiers was rushing in, as if they were looking for something... or someone?
"It landed over there, let's go!" - one soldier order the others to followed. Little did they know that Ace just peak his head out of a nearby alley. He looking around until...
"Alright, we're good. Let's go." - Ace whispered and head gestured. As he finally left, RWBY, JNR, LTR, Qrow, Oscar and Maria also come out of the alley. As they were walking through the street of Mantle, they saw just how awful the place is.
"Jeez, this place looks like it have seen better days." - Lucia said.
"Pop said that because of their lost at "The Great War". The people of Mantle needed a sign of a brighter future, and Atlas was born in order to answer that." - Ace explained. While they were walking, Raul who was in the back of the group suddenly hear a whirring sound from his right, he turn back to see it was a drone. It's camera eye was looking at his face.
"Tch, go home." - Raul shooed the drone as he keep walking. But the drone following him, so he decided to stop.
"What do you want?" - Raul asked in annoyment as well as leaning toward it. Suddenly... *Click!* the drone take a photo with a bright flash causing Raul to recoil in surprise as he cover his eyes with his hands. Then he growl in frustrated.
"Man, fuck you!" - Raul exclaimed as he kick the drone out of the street, that's when a truck came out of nowhere and run the drone over. Raul look back to see everyone is looking at him.
"What? That thing is messing with me, ok?" - Raul reasoned. The others just resume walking as Raul follow them.
"For the most greatest and the most advance Kingdom, they didn't get much appreciate from the people." - Oscar said.
"That because as you just saw, they're increasing security. Which makes the people of Mantle feels like one sigh or sneeze and they're in trouble. But then again, after what happened to Beacon and stuff, can you blame Atlas for that?" - Ace asked. That's when the big screen show a news of Drake's fight against the Ahuizolt, with the letters down was: Who is the vigilante?
"Well would you look at that? You're famous, big guy." - Qrow said. That's when the truck transporting a bunch of Faunus Dust's mine workers passing by.
"Is that?" - Raul asked.
"Yes." - Ace answered.
"Greatest Kingdom, i'm not sure if it's sound right anymore..." - Blake sighed.
"Yeah?" - suddenly two drunken man came out of nowhere approach them.
"You don't like it here? There's plenty of space out in the tundra!" - One of the drunken man said.
Blake: "*sigh* sorry, i didn't mean to.."
"Atlas is the greatest kingdom, alright?!" - He barked.
"Hey! if you don't.." - Raul growled as he was about to approach the man but Blake put her hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"We can't cause a scene here." - Blake said quietly.
"The embargo...The embargo's got us in a rough patch. But it'll blow over, you'll see." - his drink buddy said.
"We try to help the other kingdoms, and this is what happened? I'll say let'em rot!" - the drunken man exclaimed. Not noticing that Ace was gritting his teeth.
"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to insult you.." - Blake apologized. The drunken man spit on the ground.
"Stupid Faunus like you wouldn't unders- Agh!" - Suddenly, Ace approach him and grabbed him by the throat then lift him up which makes the others including Blake and Raul surprised.
"Ack! W-what the hell, man?! I said 'stupid Faunus,' n-not you!" - The drunken man explained as he struggle to breathe.
"Faunus or not, you're not insulting my friends, you hear me, you rude drunken basterd?" - Ace threatened.
"Hey! Let him go right now or i swear will-Ack!" - his drink buddy approached as he threaten Ace, but also ended up like his friend.
"Ace, Ace! Let them go, you're gonna kill them at this point." - Blake told him.
"She's right, Boss. Beside, they're drunked. It's not like they're mean it or anything." - Raul said. But Ace doesn't loosen his grip at all.
"Okay! Okay! We're sorry! Agh! Very sorry! We're dumb, alright?!" - The drunken man apologized.
"You two dumb?" - Ace asked sternly.
"Yes! We're dumb! We're dumb! We're sorry, okay?!" - The drink buddy plead. A moment of silence then Ace finally loosen his grip, release both of the wasted men.
"Very well, i'll forgive you two since my friends hold no grudges against you, and since i had a strict policy of no killing. However..." then Ace look at Lucia then doing the head gesture, telling her to approach the pair of drunken men.
"We're not going to let you two go unpunished." - Ace said, his eyes shadowed and he cracked his knuckle which makes one of the drunken men worried.
"Wha-what are you doing?" - one of the drunken man asked. Ace and Lucia make both of them face each other. Then the siblings gave both of the drunken men a wedgie which not just make them screech in pain but also make RWBY, JNR, Tanya, Raul, Maria, Oscar and Qrow winced at the sight. But that's not all, The siblings also covered the drunken men's heads with their own undies then basketball threw them into the dumpster. Ace and Lucia then share a double fist bump.
"All right, let's dipped." - Lucia said as she and the others runaway out of there, leaving the two drunken men in a very awkward situation. As they're finally ran far enough, Ace look at Raul and then Blake, there were silence for a moment until suddenly Ace wheezing, his wheeze was contagious enough to make Raul and Blake can't help but wheeze too. The wheeze soon turn into a full blown laughter, Raul and Ace laugh so hard they have to hold on to each others to prevent themselves from falling.
"Hahahahahaaaa!! That's our boss! You're al-haha-ways had such an excellent resolves!" - Raul said between his laugh.
"Too bad i can't take a picture of them in the bin with their arses up in the air, i guarantee we would've died by the sight." - Ace said.
"Pff!" Blake snorted at this, and then...
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" - They're all laugh hysterically. It took a few moments later for them to calm down.
"*sigh* okay, i have to admit. What you did back there was pretty satisfying, and you didn't cross the line too. Thanks, Ace." - Blake said as she wipe her tears.
"You're absolutely welcome, Blake." - Ace smiled.
"Well, i'm glad you guys are having fun but, can we go now?" - Qrow asked. They continue walking until they reach a house that has a green medic cross sign. Once they headed inside, they saw an elderly man who was behind the desk, looking for something in the drawer until Maria clear her throat to caught his attention.
"It's good to see you again, old friend." - Maria said.
"Ah yes, yes. Have we met?" - the elderly man asked as he pushing the stack of papers aside.
"Cybernetic optical implants. You adjust them, every ten years or so?" - Maria reminded him as she pointing to her prosthetic eyes. The elderly man stare at her for a bit until...
"Maria!" - he exclaim happily, hands throw into the air. Then the chair that he sitting on start to move around the desk, revealing to be a special made chair that has mechanical legs on.
"Yes. With the cybernetic optical implants! Oh wow! Has it been that long already?" - he laughed as he lead Maria to the examination table.
"Ah, i know. I aged like a fine wine. Would've been here sooner if i hadn't run into these jokers. At that time, i thought they might need my guidance while fighting the little old Sphinx." - Maria said, Raul scoffed as he heard that.
"Oh, did they?" - the elderly man asked.
"No, no. They had much more complicated issues." - Maria said.
"*ahem* and this is?" - Qrow asked.
"So impatient. I didn't think i need to introduce one of Atlas's finest minds." - Maria complained.
"Working in a place like this?" - Yang asked. That's when a ceiling tile fell to the floor which startled Ace.
"Fookin 'ell!" - Ace cursed, but soon realized what he said.
"sorry Rube." - Ace apologized.
"No problem." - Ruby said.
"He likes to keep a low profile. Something i've come to realize none of you know anything about." - Maria explained.
"Well, i understand that. Because my father does that as well." - Ace said, which caught the elderly man attention.
"Wait, your father.. He's also stay low as well?" - he asked.
"Yes." - Ace replied.
"Is he from here?" - The elderly man asked.
"Yes." - Ace replied.
"What does he do back then?" - The elderly man asked once more.
"He's a scientist, like you." - Ace said. The elderly man thinking with his hand on his chin, then...
"what's your name, young man?"
"Artemus. Akira Artemus. You can call me Ace." - That's when the elderly man had a realization expression on his face.
"But, i thought he only had a daughter." - he said. Then Lucia came in, put her hand on her little brother's shoulder.
"Well, he's adopted. Daddy found him and save him , after that he became a part of our family... Wait, is that mean..." - Lucia then look at her brother.
"YOU KNOW POP/DADDY TOO?!" Both of them exclaimed.
"Why yes! *laugh* Benjamin Artemus, he is one of my colleagues and also a close friend of mine. Unfortunately he left Atlas before i do, so i lost contact with him since then. Such a shame, he really had a gift." - The elderly man said.
Ace: "Well, it such an honor that you know our pop. Doctor.. um.."
"Pietro, call me Pietro." - he introduced.
"Finest heart, too. This pharmacy is just where he volunteers when he's not building the future of Atlas alongside Ironwood, up in the clouds." - Maria said.
"Oh, it's stuffy up there. Down here, I get to help the locals and have a little fun. I'm currently working on shoes that make you dance. Wanna try 'em on?" - Pietro asked.
"YES!" - Nora said excitedly, before being stopped by Yang.
"Before we get to that, we were wondering if you could help us. We came to Atlas hoping to talk to general Ironwood, but um…" - Yang explained but stopped midway.
"What exactly has been happening here?" - Blake asked.
"*cough* Well, the Fall of Beacon took a toll on all of us. James was no different. I couldn't tell you exactly what it was he saw there, but it changed him. He's…"
"He's scared." - Qrow guessed.
"Paranoid would be the more appropriate term. You have to understand, it wasn't just the Grimm. Someone completely dismantled Atlas security code, made it their play-thing, and made us look like traitors to some and buffoons to everyone else. Whoever managed to do that is either a genius or one of our own. I fear the answer may be both, and so does the general." - Pietro said.
"Maybe Atlas isn't as safe as we thought." - Ren said worriedly.
"After we came all this way, we can't just leave, can we?" - Oscar said positively.
"How does the council feel about all of this? Or Winter Schnee? Do you know anything about her?" - Weiss asked.
"Well, the council's so scared, they'll agree to whatever he wants. Though, some representatives from Mantle… Wait, you're… You're Weiss Schnee!" - Pietro realized which make Weiss gasps and steps back, her friends looking nervous.
"Wait, what was it that you were trying to say about Mantle?" - Yang asked, as she revealed her prosthetic arm. which Pietro noticed.
"You painted it." - he said as he having a look at her prosthetic arm.
"What?" - Yang pull her arm back, confused.
"Is everything okay?" - Ruby asked.
"You're team RWBY!" - Pietro said in realization. The RWBY girls look at each other in confusion.
"You know us?!" - Ruby asked.
"You know them?!" - Ace asked.
"Oh, what a wonderful day! First i met the person that i have to adjust her eyes every ten years, then i've met the children of my former colleague, now i've met the team of huntresses whom my daughter always talk about!" - Pietro exclaim happily.
"Your... Daughter?" - Ruby questioned. That's when they heard screaming voices outside. Once they headed outside, they saw every street lamps has turn red as people screaming while running away.
"I guess the city defenses aren't doing much." - Oscar said.
"Why am i not surprise about that?" - Raul unimpressed. Suddenly they heard a growling noises down the street, then one, two Atlesian Knights got throw to the ground completely broken. The other three tries to shoot back a bunch of sabertooth Grimms a.k.a Sabyrs, but end up got destroyed.
"Get ready everyone, we're not come here to die." - Ace said as he get to his fighting stance while the others pulled out their weapons.
Once the bunch of Sabyrs head toward them, Yang use her gauntlet charge in first, then Ren followed, Nora use Jaune's shield as a trampoline (sort of) to launch herself. Yang had uppercut one of the Sabyrs, Ren also slice the other, Nora whack one Sabyr flew straight to Raul who use his rocket launcherspike club weapon to strike it hard. Qrow slices two Sabyrs in half, leans back to dodge a third one that was about to attack him. Then he transforms his Harbinger into scythe mode and uses it to hook the Grimm as it makes another attempt to tackle him which killing it. As he finishes spinning his scythe, he stick his Harbinger into the ground and punches then uppercuts another Sabyr into the air. Then kicks Harbinger upward, catches it, straightens the blade, and impales the Sabyr.
One of the Sabyrs was had it attention toward Oscar, Oscar readied his Long Memory and run toward it as the Grimm does the same. Suddenly it got punched so hard that the x-ray show it's skull got cracked makes it flew into one of the house, turns out it was Ace who helped him, Oscar noticed that Ace's arm that he use to punched the Grimm with was covered in armor plate which only appear when he fully transform into Drake.
"So you can summon one part of the armor?" - Oscar asked.
"Yup, it help me saving strength but also delivered the same impact." - Ace said as he have a look at his armored arm. Oscar smile but his smile soon turn into shock.
"Look out!" - Oscar shouted.
"I got it." - Ace simply answered. Then he lean his head to his left, at the same time a bullet flew past his head which he dodge killed a Grimm that was leap toward him from behind. Oscar turn back to see Ruby who eject the brass from her Crescent Rose before use her Semblance to dash and slay the other Grimms.
Weiss succeeded cut down one Grimm, as the other 4 Grimms running towards her, she created the black glyph with her Myrtenaster to keep them dangling in the air. Right at that moment, Ren and Tanya took the chance as they both ran towards and slice those defenseless Grimms together. Yang was busy taken down a Grimm that she didn't realize there was one coming right behind her, luckily it got killed by a gunshot. Yang turn back to see that Lucia got her covered.
"I could've take him." - Blake said as she walk toward Lucia.
"Yeah well, better luck next time." - Lucia reply.
"LOOK OUT!" - Lucia shouted, Blake turn back to see a Sabyr that was lunge toward her. All of the sudden, a green-color beam slice it in two, Ace also witness the beam taking down every Sabyr until the last one. The red light in the area soon turn back to blue show that the situation has been sorted, the groups turn back to see the person who shot the green beam slowly landing. It was a girl, her outfit was an olive green dress and she has a long orange hair that has a black bow tie. Ruby soon realize who she is as she exclaim " Penny!"
"Wait, Penny?" - Ace wondered. At that time, Pietro and Maria has join them.
"Darling, why don't you say hello to your friends?" - Pietro said. Penny turns to look, and once she saw Ruby, she gasp with her eye shine in joy, Ruby was also smile back. That was when Penny leans forward a little.
"Sal..." this makes Ruby confused, but Ace realized that he is standing right in Penny's runway so he decided to take a few steps back.
"U..." Once Ruby saw that Ace is taking step back and Penny is lowers her knee, she realized what's about to happen
"Oh no..." - Ruby muttered.
"TATIONS!!" - Penny leap forward as she activated her jets that makes her fly towards Ruby, who flailing her arms and screams with wide eyes. Ace wince and close his eyes when he heard sound of collision. Ruby groans in pain with her eyes twirling as Penny pops back up onto her feet.
"It is such a pleasure to see you all again!" - Penny said.
"So you're Penny? But i thought Ruby said that you.." - Ace was about to ask until Pietro cut in.
"Died? I guess, in a manner of speaking, she did. But we were able to recover her core from Amity Arena once it had made its way back to Atlas. It took me some time, but everything gone well" - Pietro explained.
"I am good as new! Better, even! And now i'm the official protector of the city!" - Penny said gleefully.
"That's my girl. We're not going to let a little ripping to shreds stop us, are we?" - Pietro laugh then suddenly cough.
"Dr. Polendina?" - Ace ask worried. But Pietro just shake his hand and said: "I'm fine, just some elderly sickness." Ruby got up and hug Penny.
"I'm so glad you're ok. I thought i lost you back then." - She said tearfully.
"Same here, friend Ruby. Same here." - Penny hug back.
"D'aww, it so cute!" - Lucia coo'ed while clutches her face.
"This is... strangely wholesome." - Weiss said as Blake finished her sentence.
"Sound like Penny to me." - Yang said.
"Let's talk more once we get inside, i can't wait to hear.." - as Penny was talking to Ruby to make up their lost times, Ace sense something danger behind him.
"Get away!" - Ace shouted. As some several bolases wrap and tied team RWBY, JNR, Oscar and Qrow, but team ALTR was able to cart-wheel dodge so they didn't get caught. That's when five people in Atlas uniform come out and surround the group. As they saw team ALTR was still remain free, they pull out their sidearms and demand them to drop their weapons. Ace and his team are unfaze at this and in their defensive pose when suddenly...
"Ah ah ah, i wouldn't do that if i were you folks." - a female voice. Ace turn back to see a uniform clad lady, with torquoise hair tied into ponytail.
"My team are not the kind you want to mess with. Unless you want to do this the hard way, i suggest you drop your weapons, please." - The torquoise hair demanded. Ace took his Gensomaru out of his belt, raise it up and... *Clang!* drop it to the ground.
"The hell, boss?!" - Raul shocked.
"Just do as i do, i do not want troubles with authorities." - Ace said with his hands up. And so the rest of his teams had no choice but to drop their weapons and raise their hands. The other five soldiers approach them and handcuff them.
"Thank you for your cooperation, sugar." - the torquoise hair lady thanked and then winked, Ace eye rolled at this. Then she approach where the Relic of Knowledge dropped and pick it up.
"Nice work, team." - she said to her team, before gesture them to drag the groups along. At that moments, Pietro arrived.
"What's going on here? What are the Ace-Ops even doing down here in Mantle?" - Pietro ask furiously.
"Ace-ops?" - Ruby & Ace wondered.
"Oh hi, Doctor. Good to see you. We heard a report of an unauthorized ship making an unauthorized landing, followed by an unauthorized use of weapons by unlicensed Hunter." - Torquoise lady answered.
"Not all of us are unlicensed, miss." - Ace said mockingly which result to have a pistol whip on his face by one of the soldier that was hold him in custody.
"Shut it." - the female soldier that had yellow mohawk hairstyle warned.
"If we could just talk this out-" - Pietro pleaded.
"Oh worry not, Doctor. They'll be able to talk this out once they get to Atlas. Team! Load them in and let's go!" - Torquoise lady ordered as she twirling the Relic of Knowledge.
Now team RWBY, JNR, ALTR, Oscar and Qrow are in the vanship with their cuffed on.
"What exactly your plan there, you numbnut?" - Yang ask Ace.
"Well, i just thinking maybe we can like. Tell them to let us meet their boss and then we can explain them why we here and the reason of all the trouble we make just to come here? Like, it's not that hard right?" - Ace explained with a sheepish smile, then he got stomped in the face by Yang.
"Why?! What did i do this time?!" - Ace ask confusely.
"What did you do? You always preaching about the whole hero thingy and now you're here, raise the white flag out of nowhere. If we ended up like that again, would you do the same? Huh?! Would you!?" - Yang exclaim angrily while stomping him nonstop, Ace desperately try to block her attack with his cuffed hands. Seeing this, 2 Atlesian Knight come up and stop them.
"Convicts, no fighting on the ship." - 1 A.K said as it use it arms to hold her down while the other do the same to Ace.
"My, your girlfriend are feisty. My condolence to you, prince." - the Torquoise lady joked as her team snickered.
"Yang, Ace got a point. Things had gone this way, all we can do now is wait until General or Winter come for us." - Weiss assure her blonde teammate.
8:20pm, Atlas Academy.
While RWBY, JNPR, ALTR, Qrow & Oscar was being escorted with their hands cuffed.
"I swear if i had to sit through another council meeting like that again.." - they were greeted by General Ironwood, Winter & Penny in front of them which the three also noticed.
"Weiss?" - Winter ask in surprised.
"Winter" - Weiss said in relief.
"uhh, care to help us out with this?" - Nora asked, raising her cuffed hands. Winter then throw a menacing glare at the soldiers who escort the group.
"You have 15 seconds to take those off before i start hurting you." - Winter said sternly. The soldiers then hurriedly uncuff & apologizing profusely to the group.
few minutes later, in General Ironwood's office.
"You what?!" - Winter exclaimed.
"Yup, you heard right, hehe..." - Ruby laugh sheepishly.
"Do you know what could've happened if things gone wrong, what if you got shot do-" - Winter berate the group but then got interrupted when Weiss hug her.
"I'm sorry i've made you worry, sister. But we did what we have to." - Weiss said softly. Winter start to cool down and hug her sister as well.
"I.. suppose i can understand that." - Winter smile. Then return to her stern self in a second. "But still, that is reckless. I cannot believe you let this happened, Qrow."
"Hey, try stopping these kids when they have their minds set on something and see what it likes. Plus, it was my old student who came up with the idea." - Qrow said while Ace scratching his head, Winter didn't look amuse, but then...
"Speaking of which, who are you? I don't think i've seen you before." - Winter asked.
"Ah, allow me. My name is Akira Artemus, but you can call me Ace. And these 3 are my teammates: Lucia, Tanya & Raul. We're team ALTR." - Ace introduced.
"Artemus huh? Are you happened to be Benjamin Artemus's relatives?" - Ironwood asked.
"Well sir, not just relatives. But we are his children, with Ace is his god-son." - Lucia said as she ruffling Ace hair.
"Again, sis. Stop messing with me hair!" - Ace groaned.
"Also, i heard a report that there are one armored humanoid who was involved in your, *sigh* stolen ship incident. Who could that be?" - Ironwood asked. Then all of the sudden, RWBY, JNR, Qrow, Oscar & LTR are all point their fingers at Ace.
"Wow, way to rat me out, lads." - Ace said in sarcasm. Ironwood observe Ace for a bit then said:" You don't look like him."
"Because i am not in my suit mode now, Sir. I can show you if you want." - Ace said.
"Actually, do that once the Ace Ops are present since they are eager to see. Now, i'm sure that you've going through all the trouble to come here for a reason, yes?" - Ironwood asked.
*After a few minutes of topic about the Relics, Winter Maiden, etc.*
"I know how this all looks. Recalling my military? The embargo? I probably don't seem the most trustworthy right now?" - Ironwood said.
"Then why continue it? You know it only make the people of Mantle hate you more." - Ace asked.
"I know, but to make sure that Salem couldn't infitrate Atlas, it's a price i'm willing to pay." - Ironwood said, eye shadowed. Then he show the group the plan to make the Amity Colosseum into a certain satellite. While Qrow & Ironwood are discussing, Ace quietly ask Ruby if he should tell them about Ozpin & the fact that, oh i don't know, Salem is frickin IMMORTAL?! But Ruby just shook her head and said: "Ozpin, maybe. But not Salem, i don't want to stress the general anymore."
"still..." - Ace wondered.
"Without Ozpin to guide us, all i can do is use my best judgement." - Ironwood said, then realize Oscar was acting funny. "What is it?" - he asked.
"I should told you, Oscar... is the next Ozpin." - Qrow said.
"Oz, i'm so glad you're here. I didn't think yo-" - Ironwood smile but Oscar interrupt him, said that he is gone for a moment.
"Well, that's not normal." - Ironwood said, dissapointed.
"He did told us about the Relics of Knowledge that can answer 3 questions. But they were all used." - Ruby said, Yang & Blake can only look at each other while Ace sighed.
*Another few moments of conversation later...*
RWBY, JNR, ALTR, Qrow & Oscar are now met up with the Ace Ops. Along with Penny who was showing them around the campus.
"Again, sorry for the "misunderstood" back there, Ace." - The torquoise lady apologized.
"I understand, you were following your order. Plus it's under the bridge now, i'm looking forward to work with you, Tortuga." - Ace said.
"Also, since we're at the stadium. Care to show us that you weren't lying?" - the mohawk asked.
"Harriet, come on now." - Tortuga said.
"Alright." - Ace then pull out the Tendo Orb, attach it to the Riser and...
"Armorize!" - transformed into Drake. The Ace Ops was completely in awe, same goes to Ironwood, Winter & Penny.
"So, you believe me now?" - Drake asked. Then Penny came to him.
"Sensational! I've never thought people like you exist!" - Penny cheered. Then one of the Ace Ops member who was a dog-Faunus also approach him.
"This is incredible, and it's actual metal instead of spandex. It's like you came out of a T.V show or something." - The Faunus admired.
"Tsk, show off." - Harriet growled.
"Come now, this is not a competition." - the soldier who look like a monk said.
"Hehe, Marrow was always kind of a dork. Seeing this must have makea him feels like his childhood dreams come true." - a buff-looking female soldier chuckled.
"Today was a lucky day, isn't it?" - a soldier with a clover badge said.
"Seems like it." - Tortuga said. Qrow and Ironwood look from afar with a smile on their faces.
"Qrow, i meant it when i said that it's good to see you again." - Ironwood said.
"Um, thanks." - Qrow thanked in surprise.
Mantle, 10:00pm.
it was now rainy, a hooded figure could see walking down the street, the hooded man was walking the same path with the other man who had a ponytail blonde hair wearing some sort of old looking outfit. He collide with the hooded man which cause himself to landed with his butt.
" Hey watch it! I know it's rain and all but i was in front of you." - the ponytail man said.
"Caleb Forest, i presume?" - The hooded man asked.
"What?" - The man now named Forest confused.
"Are you Caleb Forest?" - The hooded man ask once more.
"um, y-yes?" - Forest answered.
"I got some deal for you. But i need you to come with me." - The hooded man offer his hand to help Forest get up, Forest took his hand. Once he get up, he got a close look at the hooded man face. Well, not really because he was wearing a skull mask Cyberpunk style.
End Chapter 9.
Can't believe it's been 2 years since i last update this fanfic, but i am here now.
