Sorry for my bad english.
Miles run around the forest of Arcadia, searching for more invaders who were trying invade his kingdom. His white eyes scanned around the dead woods for anything alive moving, but only spotted animals. Once he notice that he wouldn't find the soldier, he decide to come back to his squad and share the bad news. But when he turn around, he saw a different type of tree.
The tree bark was completely black and the leafs were purple. Something that is not very common in Remnant. He walk closer of the strange tree, curious about her, then came direct on his face.
-What the hell?! -He shout when some black water came from inside of the tree. -How the hell? -He asked looking at himself, unsure of what happened. How come have so much water inside of that tree?And why that water was smelling strange? -Is better to me wash this off.
He start to leave without know that this event of his life would change all the history that Remnant once know.
Atlas
Military laboratory
The window on the room was the only view Crimson have from the world outside. He wanted to leave, look to the world that he made to protect. But again, his superiors ordered to him not leave the laboratory. His younger sister was in Vale right now, experiencing be sociable, talking with normal persons. Something that he never did before, despite being older than Penny.
-I don't understand.
Was all he could say. Such a high intelect and yet, he is not able to discover why he have to be stuck on the laboratory.
-Crimson. -Doctor Polendina enter on his room. -What are you doing out of the pod?
-Just thinking.
-You are thinking a lot lately. Something is bothering you?
-You know what is bothering me, doctor Polendina. -Of course. He want to leave, but he is not allowed. -Yet is strange you asking what is wrong when you know what is.
-I just thought that you was out of that. You are very curious, you know?
-Yes, i know. -He look back to the window. -But not make sense build me only to be stuck here.
-Crimson. -Polendina called and his "son" look at him. -You was made with the purpose of protect Remnant. When the day come and the folks of the four kingdons need help, you will be there to help them. -He put a hand on his shoulder. -I only ask to you to be more patient.
Crimson heard him say that since he start to want to walk around the world, but he nodded. He needed to trust on the man who was responsable from his existence.
Beacon
Ballroom
The Dance was going good for the apprentice.
Ceodore was having no problem in ignore the stares of his classmates while dancing with his partner. Yang was dancing with her parnter and was ignoring him, then aSun appeared and asked to Yang if he could have Blake for the next dance, and since she need to receive the students, she leave her partner with the monkey boy and keep with her duty for the night. Ceodore didn't saw Ruby around, maybe because she was a socially akward girl, so she must be walking around to find something to do or leave without her team notice. His attention was back to his parnter who was with a big smile on her face.
-I'm assume that you are having fun?
-Of course i am.
-Glad to her that.
-Ceodore, this is not only about this night, right?
-What do you mean?
-I can tell by the way you are talking. Something is bothering you. -He wanted to say that was nothing, but found no words to lie to her. -It is about what your miasma did to me? -He stopped to dance and averted his gaze from her. -Ceodore, i told to you, it is fine. I know that you didn't mean to... harm my aura.
-I know. It just... how are you feeling?
-I'm fine. Why are you asking?
-I tell you later. For now, lets have some fun okay? And wait a second please. -Ceodore let go of Pyrrha and walk on the direction of the tables where Weiss was trying too make a flower stand upright, with no success. -Allow me?
Weiss heard him ask, then he put a hand on the flower and used his semblance, a second later, the flower was standing straight.
-Thank you Ceodore.
-No problem.
-That is a really useful semblance you have.
-Do you think?
-Of course. In the middle of a battle field, you can cure any wounded comrade.
Not far from them, the general could help but look to the apprentice. After everything he revelead about the miasma will be useful to the top scientists of Atlas discover how treat this infection. Even find a cure. But the reason of his look was the Cedore's father.
-You seems a little distracted James. -Ozpin asked coming closer. -Something is bothering you?
James look to his watch. He still have some time before check the tower.
-Oz, there's something that i need to tell you.
This make Ozpin raise a eyebrown.
Courtyard
Ruby just wanted some fresh air, then she saw running on the rooftops a figure dressed in black. She decide to follow the figure who lead her to the CCT tower and she found some soldiers of Atlas knocked down on the floor. Seeing that some trouble was happening, she called her locker and got ready her weapon.
Ballroom
Nothing could prepare Ozpin for what Ironwood told to him.
-All this time, his body... was in Atlas. -Ozpin said.
-I can't believe that Dragoon would go that far. -Glynda whispered.
-I'm shocked too. I'm curious too of why did Dragoon never told me about that.
-What you plan to do with that information, James?
-I only discover that Atlas have his body, but have nothing on the localization on the files. I will make more researches to try discover who is with his body and why keep secreta about this.
-Ozpin. -Glynda called. -What about Ceodore?
-What about him? -Asked James.
-We gonna keep secret of this from him?
The gears on Ozpin's mind start to move.
CCT Tower
The operation was simple than Cinder thought would be. If those mans are the best that Atlas has to offer, so take both academies will be no problem. Her thoughts weere interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Ruby walk to inside of the room. Her heels make sound by each step.
-Hello? -She asked, Crecent Rose armed in case she need. She stumbled a little because of her shoes, then stopped to look around. -Is anyone there? -She start to walk again. -Hello? -Cinder decide to have some entertainiment and stopped hiding. Ruby look to the figure who appeared wearing a mask. -Excuse know, it's not a masquerade party, so why don't you take off that-
She stopped the talk when the intruder threw some dust on the air, creating ice thorns and send on Ruby's direction. She use her scyth to defened herself and give some shoots against the intruder who easily block with her bare hand. From nothing, she evokes two sword. Ruby give a shot with her scyth to throw herself against the intruder and try a attack, the intruder dodge giving some jumps back and in midair she put both swords together and make a bow with three arrows pointing to Ruby. The shots creat a little explosion when hit the floor, makin Ruby back off a little.
Seemed that a battle was about to happen, but a girlshy scream cut out the scene. Ruby look to the direction to where the scream came from, giving to the intruder the chance she needed. When Ruby look back at her, she dissapeared. She walk to the elevator and got down to see what was going on.
Courtyard
Ceodore and Pyrrha run to where the scream came from and saw a crowd looking at something. Then both come closer and saw one of their classmates wounded and full of cuts on his body. His weapon lying on his side and blood coming from his mouth and a big on his eye. More students reunited to see. Some girls putting her hands on the mouths in shock and some guys not believing in what they saw. The crowd open space for the teachers walk.
-Who is the responsable for this?!
Demanded Goodwitch. Her eyes burning in anger. Port eyebrows frowning like none of the students ever see. Oobleck's fist were closed and shaking in fury. Fernando and Peach weren't different from them. Ozpin look around like was looking for someone among his students, hoping to find the responsable. Ceodore walk ahead to use his semblance, but was stopped by Goodwitch who kneeled to the wounded student and put a hand on his chest. From her hand start to come her purple aura like sonic waves. Slowly, the wounds start to close and the bleeds stopped.
-She can cure too? -Ceodore thought.
-I did what i could. Let's take him to the infirmary.
Fernando raise his hand, his blue aura start to appear and the wounded student start to float in front of everyone.
-Gravity. -Weiss thought.
Fernando start to move him away from the crowd. Probably was taking him to the infirmary like Glynda asked.
The teachers followed while everyone was whispering about what happened. Ceodore wanted to his partner enjoy the night, but this have just to happen.
-Oh my. -He heard a voice spoke behind him. -Who would do that? -Cinder asked.
-I don't kno-ooooooooowww. -He stammered when saw Cinder with the black dress. He cough to talk properly. -But this cut the clime for the party.
-So bad. I was hoping that i could have a dance with you tonight.
-Maybe later. But who could have do that right in time of the party?
-Whatever did that, make it quickly, so he could leave without nobody see him.
-You are very inteligent.
-Thank you. Now, excuse me, i have to go back to my companion.
-You came with a companion and yet, you wanted a dance with me?
-He is just my teammate. Have nothing to worry about.
-See you later then.
-Until later, Ceodore, and i still want a dance. -Cinder spoke, then walk back to her teammates, her face showing curiosity. -Can any of you explain what happened here?
-As you saw, one of his students was attacked. -Emerald awsered. -One of the girls found him unconscious while you was "busy".
-We should worry about this? -Asked Mercury. -They could keep a eye open from now one.
-If the soldiers who gonna patrol are like the ones from the tower, so surely we don't have nothing to worry about.
-So what now? -Asked Mercury.
Cinder look around to students walking back to the ballroom to try enjoy the rest of the night.
-Let's try go back and have fun. After all, it is a party, right?
Far away from the courtyard. A figure wearing a white armor look to the crowd walking back to the ballroom.
-I should be careful to not make a scene while he is surrounded by some many civilians, if all the teachers caught me, i would have come here in vain. -His vision caught the figure of the apprentice and his face frowned. -Soon Thanatos, soon. -The white knight spoke.
*Flashback*
Once the student done with the bathroom business, he start to walk back to the ballroom, but notice something strange ahead.
-Hey dude. -He called. -This isn't a fantasy party. -He spoke because saw the guy wearing a helmet. -Or you just don't come to the party?
-Where is the apprentice?
-Why the hell i would know?
The knight grabbed the student by the throat.
-Where he is?! -He shout in a angered tone.
He kicked the knight and called his locker, grabbed his shotgun and aimed on the armored guy.
-What the hell is wrong with you?!
-If i have to make you say by force, so be it. -The knight drew his old sword. -Let's dance.
End of the chapter. The last episode of RWBY give some feels, huh? Anyway, if you saw the parts showing the Miles and Ceodore past yes i am still calling him Ceodore can make a idea who is this white knight.
When come to secrets, you have to be careful to this secret not affect everyone around you, but the new secret that Ironwood discovered can cause some troubles. Ozpin will reveal to Ceodore about his father? If i make him like the original show, probably not *cough*. I will warn already that miasma has nothing to do with Salem or with whatever the plot will go.
I can't think in nothing more to say. See you next time.
