Breaking Dawn Part II
Alice was led over to the three Volturi masters so that Aro could see the future revelation of Renesmee. Felix made sure to give Jasper a good slap for good measure. Aro paused as he went through Alice's memory of the future vision she had seen.
"Now you know. That's your future," she said angrily.
Aro looked at the other two masters and considered that thoughtfully. "What did you see?" Caius demanded.
"Restrain her," Aro ordered. Immediately Volturi witnesses restrained both Jasper and Alice. "Let us see if the future is still the same if I threaten Jasper's life," Aro said.
"What do you mean?" Alice asked stunned.
"You may be trying to trick me. Show me a different future or Jasper here dies," Aro ordered.
"The future cannot be changed like that," Alice shouted at him.
"We'll see," Aro said and then nodded to Felix and Dimitri. Jasper was sent to his knees and his head was in a position to be torn off.
Aro then took Alice's hand and looked into her memories. "It seems whatever we do Jasper dies," Aro smirked.
"Stop playing around Aro," Marcus muttered.
"My brothers I have received a vision that if we fight this assembled battalion we will lose. They will lose some but we will all perish in the fight," Aro said.
"Impossible!" Caius doubted.
"I'm afraid it's true. Even with Jasper's life threatened Alice had the same vision," Aro said.
"Finally," Marcus said pleased.
"Not all of us are willing to die like you Marcus," Caius said scornfully. "What do we do?"
"First I want to share with you the vision I received. It appears if I threaten Alice here Charlise will try to fight us all single-handedly and indeed I am the one to behead him," Aro said amused.
"That sounds positively foolish," Caius noted.
"It does however start the battle. I didn't know it until now but some of the assembled nomads have talents we could use. One can electrify by touch, the other can blind us, and another can control the elements. Bella is capable of using a shield that can extend beyond herself to the entire group eliminating our long distance fighters Jane and Alec," Aro explained.
"How can we be electrified? Aren't we made of stone?" Caius asked.
"Brother, I'm not sure what we're made of," Aro said uncertain.
"If Bella can use this shield to negate Jane and Alec we should concentrate our forces on killing her," Caius said.
"I agree but we should also destroy Edward as well for he can read our thoughts," Aro said. "He's probably reading them right now."
"What of the wolves?" Caius asked.
"They apparently come from a reservation near here. I think they would be more inclined to protect their reservation than this battlefield. Their love for their families is more than their love for Bella and the child," Aro said.
"Then we should out flank them by sending a group to the reservation. They will then be forced to leave the battlefield," Caius said.
"Or not in which case we have few people to fight with," Aro considered.
"We have superior numbers," Caius pointed out.
"Alright, I have made a decision," Aro said and then put his hands on Alice. Once he was done he came back to the group.
"There is a new future," Aro said to them. "If we attack the reservation and make it known we will be able to eliminate the larger pack of wolves from the battlefield. If we also target Bella and Edward specifically we will have a tactical advantage," Aro said.
"But will we win?" Caius asked.
"I'm afraid we will but we three will die," Aro said flatly.
"Finally," Marcus said softly.
"We need a better plan," Caius insisted.
"Perhaps we could trick them into sending over a small group and holding them hostage like before," Aro wondered.
"Go to hell!" Edward said from a distance.
"What is the range on him?" Caius asked.
"I'm not really sure," Aro said amazed.
"The shield however must have a range," Caius said.
"Indeed. Jane," Aro motioned.
Jane sent pain into both Jasper and Alice crippling them. Aro watched as the two shrieked in pain before him, and then motioned for Jane to stop. "It seems it doesn't go that far," Aro observed.
"Or maybe that's what they want us to think," Caius said suspiciously.
Aro nodded. "Jane."
The two shrieked in pain for a few more moments and then Alec covered them in black smoke so they wouldn't feel anything while they were held down. "So, the shield doesn't reach this far, but Jane can reach them," Aro considered.
"We must split the group in two so that Bella is too far away from the other group to shield them. Then send Alec and Jane to attack the undefended group from a distance. We will then only have to fight the smaller group," Caius reasoned.
Aro nodded in approval and then lifted Alice from the smoke. She looked freaked out but otherwise fine. Aro sensed the new future and then let go. Smoke then swarmed around her. "If we do this plan we will win but Marcus will die," Aro said.
"Finally," Marcus sighed.
"This is not acceptable. We are a trio, not a duet," Caius said displeased.
"Well, I could be the master and you could be the apprentice," Aro smirked.
Caius gave him a dirty look. "I have discovered something interesting," Aro said. "As long as her shield remains up it neutralizes the abilities of the other vampires."
Aro then turned to Jane. "Concentrate on Edward until I say."
Aro then said to Caius, "We will surround them with our first team of witnesses to keep them close together so that the shield keeps them all close together. Jane and Alec will remain here outside the perimeter. Jane and Alec won't be able to get through the shield but the shield itself will neutralize the abilities of the vampires inside the shield. If she lowers the shield they will be vulnerable to Jane and Alec outside the circle. The second team which will include us will fight them one on one and we will kill Edward and Bella first dropping the shield. Once the shield is dropped Jane and Alec will be able to overwhelm them. In addition, we will send a small team to go to the reservation to force some of the wolves to leave the battlefield. We will destroy them on another day," Aro detailed the plan.
"Will it work?" Caius asked with uncertainty.
Aro took Alice's hands and looked into her memories. Aro then eyed Marcus who was staring off into space bored. "Yes, I believe it will."
"Begin the attack," Caius grinned.
Original Breaking Dawn II
Shortly After the Events of Breaking Dawn
The Volturi masters sat in their thrones and thought about what had just occurred in Forks, Washington. "Now that I come to think about it that was a really silly confrontation," Aro remarked.
"There is nothing silly about an immortal child," Caius said disdainfully.
"What I mean brother is the manner in which Charlise presented the child to us. We were all of the opinion that they had created an immortal child," Aro said.
"So?" Caius asked.
"Well, we do have computers, internet, printers, and the most modern technology available to us here. And in my last correspondence with Charlise I did send him our email address," Aro said.
"What is your point Aro?" Marcus asked bored.
"Why didn't they send us pictures of the child as it grew older? Then we could have seen the child grow from an infant to a young girl," Aro said.
"Who is to say they couldn't have doctored the photos?" Caius said.
"They would only do such a thing if the child were an actual immortal child," Aro said. "Maybe next time we will give Charlise a phone call before we make another similar journey."
"Indeed, we could have heard the child as a small child and then heard her voice change as she grew," Caius remarked.
"I think the problem we have is we need better secretaries," Aro suggested.
