Hello, let's roll out with this chapter. On previous chapter, the preparation for invasion of army Brakada get started and Ozpin is depressed with all this situation. So let's begin.
City of Vale, Beacon, Ozpin Office.
Ozpin was sitting on chair and was looking at the scroll. After minutes he hear knocking to the door. "Come in."- Ozpin say. The door open and team JNPR show them self.
"You call us, Headmaster."- Pyrrha say.
"Yes, you know what situation we have?"- Ozpin ask while still looking at the scroll.
"Not really, the team RWBYN don't tell us anything, we only saw a whole Beacon was in mess."- Jaune respond.
"Well, I will tell you what is going on. We must gather as many men able to fight in max two days."- he say looking at them. They were confusion.
"We are at war."- Ozpin say slowly. They were shock. Jaune almost fall, Pyrrha catch him but she was as Jaune shock. Ren just was just looking while Nora act like always, she was smiling.
"I have task, for you. You will help Nermiya and Ruby find Roman Torchwick."-he say.
Pyrrha was angry.
"WHY! Why we need to find him!"- she shout. Ozpin look at her and say.
"Because we need any help we can get. According to calculations of Glynda Vale don't have a chance against the invasion. Especially a Beacon by it self. We send men to others kingdom to ask for help. One of the men who was sending was Merogard, a friend of Nermiya. He tell us about invasion."- Ozpin answer. They were confusion. Jaune get on his legs and say.
"I think Nermiya got a plan, she know more about them than us. We should trust her."- Jaune say. Pyrrha look at him and she try to say but she don't do that. Ren look at Jaune, and Nora was looking on everybody.
"Are... Are you sure about that?"-Pyrrha ask nervous.
"Yes, I know her a bit but I know she is good person."- Jaune say and smile to the team. Pyrrha blushed a little, Ren notice this and smile a little and Nora say loud.
"REN, Ren just smile!"
"Calm down Nora."- Ren say like nothing happen.
"Ehhhhhh..."-Nora was disappointed.
"Calm down both of you. Now, get ready for the mission I gave you. We don't have much time."- Ozpin say.
"Yes sir!"- They say and leave the room. After they leave, Ozpin again looked at the scroll about the information where probable Roman is hiding. Ozpin have bundle of nerves in his head.
RWBYN Dorm
The new dorm was bigger. A kitchen was look like normal a bedroom was bigger with four bead and one hanged like lair. It was build from marble. Nermiya but it for her gold she get from Merogard. In lair was bed, and little table. You could say that was a small room. Nermiya know there wasn't time to look at her new dorm. She went to the end of the lair. There was a little room for her equipment. Nermiya grab her swords and a spear. She look at the spear and she feel sad. Ruby when get ready look at Nermiya. She notice her sad face.
"Nermi are you alright?'- she ask nervous.
"Yes...Yes, I'm alright. I was just thinking about that, I need to kill my own people."- she say with tears in her eyes. Ruby hug her ans say.
"Don't worry, everything gonna be alright. You will convince them to don't fight with us. I will help you with this."- Ruby said quietly.
"Thanks, Ruby but I think this will be a hard-"- Nermiya stop because of knocking to the door. Nermiya quickly wiped the tears, and say "Come in."
The door open and team JNPR come in.
"Hey guys, what's up!?"- Ruby say with smile.
"Well, we are here to help you to find Torchwick."- Jaune say mixed with a smile.
"Ohh... Well Nermiya thought that I and her will do it. Ozpin must order you to help us, right?"- Ruby ask.
"Yes. But I don't like this idea."- Pyrrha say with little irritation.
"Oh Right."- Ruby shout suddenly. "You don't meet Nermiya right? Then let's do a proper introduction. Come here Nermiya."- Ruby call her. After second Nermiya. Jaune was not surprise but rest of her team were. Nermiya was now got not gray but black shard with red spots on the tail. She was wearing a chainmail, and on that plate armor. She also wearing a gold armlet with snakes. She was wearing her gold crown with a red gem in the middle. Her black straight hair was like deep night and her eyes was shining like pure gold. Pyrrha speechless, because of her beauty, Ren was impressed and Nora eyes were shining like sun.
"Wh...What are you looking at?"- Nermiya ask embarrassing.
"We-We-Well. You. Look beautiful."-Pyrrha say with nervous, and looking and ground with feel that she is worse.
"Well, thank I think."- She say with smile but then she turn serious, "Any way, I presume you will help us find Torchwick?"- Nermiya ask.
"We get that order from Ozpin so I don't think we have other choice."- Jaune say with smile.
"You have choice. You always can go help gather supplies, and help evacuate people from town."- Nermiya sat to JNPR.
Pyrrha finally overcame and kneel. Nermiya shocked look at Ruby and other but they were shock as well.
"I'm SORRY! I'm SORRY for thinking that you are stupid and crazy. I'm SORRY for thinking that you are responsibility for state we have now. I'm SORRY!"- she shout and hit her head in ground. Nermiya look at her with sad and with end of her tail, she touch Pyrrha head. Nermiya look in to eyes of Pyrrha and say.
"You don't need to apologize. I'm the one who should kneel not you. You're right. I'm responsibility for that state. Because of me the war is coming. You're right with that I'm crazy to seek help in someone like Torchwick."- Nermiya give sad smile with tears to Pyrrha and say "I hope you, and all of this Academy and maybe even this country will forgive me."-she say while crying and cover her face in hands. Ruby touch her head and say.
"You don't need to apologize as well. None need to. I will always be with you no matter what. I think rest of team RWBYN will agree if they will be here. I think team JNPR think in the same way."- Ruby say slowly and touching her hands. Nermiya show of her face wet from tears. She look at them, and saw smiles on their faces.
"Well, time to go, we don't have enough time to seat here and talk"- Ren say.
"Right. I think I know were we can find our target."- Nermiya say after she get calm.
