RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum

General Ironwood sat in his quarters on his flagship mulling over the new faction involved in this grand game of possible doom. He sighed in remembering the glare the Lord of Chains Gate had thrown at him upon exiting the room. "Don't be too offended by Grimoire he can be quite aggressive when making a first impression." Ironwood was stunned, who was this man why was he in his quarters and how did he know about Grimoire, the pieces soon fell into place. "Your a vampyre?" It was more a statement then a question but the tone was still there. The massive faunus before him nodded. "Yes I am, to be precise I am Ashford Belladona, the Arch-Baron of Chains Gate or in more military terms I am Grimoires second in command." The general nodded. "I see, so if you wouldn't mind can you tell me why you're here?"

"I don't mind and as for the reason I am here, that is related to the fact that your forces have hampered the movement of our own forces. The only host of vampyres to reach us since the call went out earlier this week have been those from Atlas since well only the Atlesian ships are getting through with speed." Ironwood cringed at the hidden jab at his forces favoring the Atlesian civilians over others. "I understand, but you must also understand with the White Fang's movements and the Black Queen having Vampyres under her control you have to understand that I cannot simply let them stream in." Ashford groaned as he shook his head. "Well there is a possibility then that if the enemy acts soon they will be able to outnumber us in vampyres albeit they may be weak but they are still Vampyres and can cleave through your forces in scant hours, so for the sake of your troops and the Huntsmen and Huntresses in Beacon and Vale please open the gates or else there will be a great number of deaths possibly larger than the last time a battle of such magnitude took place in Vale." The General sat there thinking for a minute before he came to a conclusion. "If you send a group of Vampyres to identify the ship's your reinforcements are coming on then we can let them through although I also want to have the ability to communicate with the Lords." Ashford smiled and nodded. "I can agree to that and I will take the proposal to Lord Grimoire, also technically it's three Lords and the Lady of Atlas." Ironwood nodded as he leaned back into his chair while turning back to his work. "And General? A brief word of warning, The reason the Vampyres were made and formed into such a power on this world is due to Atlas and Mantle's mistakes prior to the war." With that Ashford vanished into a wall of smoke which vanished shortly after leaving a confused General behind.

Grimoire sat in a chair within RWBY dorm watching as an epic battle of power and skill took place before him. "YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME OLD MAN!" Grimoire watched the antics as Ruby and Qrow clashed again in the game that still perplexed the Vampyre with its colors and how the two Assassins on the screen moved. He chuckled internally as Qrow immediately beat Ruby who was shortly after launched from her sitting position by Yang. "Now where was I?" Qrow thought allowed. "You were telling us about your last mission!" Ruby stated obviously excited at the thought of hearing about the adventures of her uncle. "Right right, I'd come across a small village in the swamps of Minstrel and right off the bat I knew something wasn't right." Qrow began. "What were you doing there" Ruby asked. "I needed information tired after battling grimm along the way I started at the local inn, the place was crawling with lowlifes and thugs and even a few huntsmen I could only assume had been hired by less than reputable people for less than respectable jobs, and that's when it happened," Yang interrupted "What happened?" Qrow looked down, "I was defeated, by the mere sight, of the Innkeepers skirt length!" Yang threw a pillow at her uncle who easily caught it as he beat her in the game.

"You are the WORST!" Yang's exclamation was followed by the snickers of Qrow and Ruby but drowned out by the guffaws coming from Grimoire. Qrow looked back at the lord of Vampyres as he fell out of his chair only to land on a couch of shadows. "So uncle Qrow did ya get in trouble with Ozpin?" Ruby's questioned. "Nah, me and Oz go way back, we're cool." Qrow explained. "Heh cool for an old guy." Yang stated as Qrow leaned forward. "Not funny." He replied as Grimoire shot a glare at Yang from the chair he had returned to. "Hey so what are you doing here anyways? I thought dad said you would be gone for like ever?" Qrow turned his attention to the second round of the game as he answered. Grimoire however thought back to when he and Qrow exited the headmaster's office as Qrow began his explanation.

Qrow and Grimoire stood before the elevator while finishing their conversation. "So you want to find the public records and get into them so you can confirm your theory?" Grimoire nodded. "Her aura posses much of the same attributes of my brother, the only difference is her semblance which does remind me of my brothers wife, all I need to do is to confirm the last of it and then its her choice." Qrow nodded. "And what choice is that?" Grimoire looked over to him as the door opened. "The vampyres have been without a common leader for decades due to Thorns edict and last orders which still hold true until his descendant is found, the Vampyres had a King who lead them and Lords who followed his command, we have been without a monarch for over a hundred years and with this discovery many in Chains Gate and those others who have arrived have been calling for the new monarch to take over but have calmed with myself and Ozpin pointing out her still being a student." Qrow stared at Grimoire for several seconds as he pressed the button to the ground floor. "You think my niece is the heir to the Vampyres?" Grimoire nodded. "She may be young but from what I remember both my parents and his friends telling me Thorn behaved much the same as Ruby when he was her age." Qrow nodded. "I see, so have you told them yet?" Qrow asked. "No." The simple answer rung for a second as the doors opened showing both Ruby and Yang waiting in the hall. "Uncle Qrow! and Grimoire?" Yang and Ruby were surprised as the two stepped out of the elevator.

"Violence hasn't stopped since Romans capture, It stopped! Completely!, No White Fang activity anywhere around the city!" Grimoire groaned from his position. "Which has made finding that bugger Brutus and them that much harder even with our forces exterminating several hideouts on the outskirts of Vale." Qrow nodded. "You cut off the head of a King Taijutsu and now the other head is calling the shots something Ironwood can't get through that thick metal head of his." The two huntresses looked at each other. "You know the General?" Qrow nodded. "Hey I know everyone to some extent,remember you're talking to a member of the coolest team to have graduated Beacon." He pulled out a photo that had stains of a cup and droplets, Qrow looked back at Grimoire at this moment to see the Vampyre twitching slightly and murmuring to himself. "I have a number of inappropriate stories that I can tell you." He stopped when he saw Yang staring at the photo as he put it away. "But maybe some other time." he stated as he got up and made his way to the door. "I'm too old to be hanging out with a bunch of kids, it'll cramp my style, Look just remember that you've got a long way to go, don't think for a second means your done every day out there is worth a week in this place." He looked back at them. "You two you're going to go far but only if you keep learning, if you never stop moving forward." Shortly after that he left. The two Huntresses then noticed Grimoire had vanished to with the only evidence of being there was the fading shadows.

Tucson growled as he followed a pair of teen through the festival grounds and began approaching them before tapping their shoulders. "What do you wan-" Tucson grinned at Mercury as the mercenary shook in his boots Emerald looked just as afraid. "Hello you two! Good to see you again after you tried to kill me." The two of them made to run until Tucson grabbed their shoulders and they felt a great force pulsing through their minds as they fell down. "I see, well you better hope your boss is merciful." He stood up and called for help shouting that they had fallen suddenly from exhaustion to the Atlesian Knights who came by to retrieve them. Tucson watched as the medics picked the two up and go off to Beacons Medbay as he turned with a grim smile on his face. 'Cinder Fall eh? Well you better be ready you bitch You just lost two bishops and your next.'
