Chapter 7:The Movement
It was currently night time in Vale City as most people were asleep at this moment without much of a care in the world. However on the outskirts of the city one peson wasn't particular happy. Adam Tarrus leader of the White Fang and criminal is now wnated thoughout Remnant. He wasn't particular happy after he was taken down by Blake a month back. Along with leaving behind his friend Ollie to escape.
He was currently trying to come up with a new plan so those filthy humans would learn their place but so far he was getting nowhere with that. He wanted to try and rescue Ollie with some of their people. But it seems they were running out to use at their disposal.
"In my current situationif I don't get more men this'll all be for nothing. Those humans will just keep walking over us like were nothing but dirt. I need to rescue him."Adam scoffed as he brought a hand to his mask covering his eyes.
He remembered very much about what had happened to him. Being branded by the SDC with their initials scarring his left eye to the point he was almost blind in that eye. Along with meeting the one person who understood his goals. Both of them swore that day he would take revenge against not just the SDC bu the Schnee family themselves.
However without men he couldn't do much. Deciding to take a break he went outside of the small shack he'd set up and watched a few of his men unload a truck full of dust and weapons that was graciosuly donated by the SDC. But he heard about several people leaving for some reason.
He just wished his friend was here to provide him some of his wisdom. Even with the weapons he still only had a small army which even he wasn't dumb enough to go charginign in guns blazing at the frist sign. He needed a plan and quick if he was going to bring his and Ollies plan to fruition.
"Having trouble getting more troops Adam?"A female voice replied behind as he unsheathed his sword wilt from his scabbard Blush and swung it at the source. Before it could connect a kohpesh sword blocked it.
He saw not one but five people staring at him two females and three males and all but two of them were human. He looked at one clearly and relzied something.
"Ollie!"Adam said sheathing his sword rushing to his friend hugging him. But Ollie scoffed pushing him off him with Adam surrpsied.
"What are you?"adam asked surprised what his friend did.
"Sorry a little mad about your leaving me for dead"Ollie replied with venom in his words.
Adam looked down ashamed and clenched his fist then back at Ollie"My friend i'm sorry…..i've been trying to plan a rescue for the last week. But with the amount of men we have left we wouldn't be able to rescue you"Adam said to Ollie.
Ollie sighed thinking about his friend words carefully. But he didn't buy it he left him for dead and he didn't care. Instead he'll play his part to get his revenge against those humans and teach adam a lesson.
"Hmmm its fine my friend….but i've brought some help"Ollie said putting a hand on Adam shoulder motioning toward the others.
Adam looked closely at some of them and scoffed"Humans and one faunus…..the faunus proves more useful than those three pest!"Adam shouted but the female who was the leader laughed.
"My…my us that anyway to talk to the ones who rescued your friend. Where are your manners?"she simply said.
"How about I show you the…"before adam could finish the other girl then titled her head emitting something. Then Adam looked around relziing her was back in the SDC mines looking around. As he did he saw his parents getting executed in front of him as he had a look fo fear on his face. He breathed heavily at the sight backing up.
"Rosemary thats enough. You have his attention"the female ordered as the girl stopped nodding to her. Adam looked around scared as he breathed calming himself down. The female walked over to him facing him.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Bonnie Thantos. The girl here is Rosemary Kuchisake, hes Adder Tannin, and Scar 've come here with…..a business proposition for you"Bonnie replied almost seductively.
"We don't need help from you humans"Adam spat back at her as he looked at her.
"Adam you should listen shes giving us the chance of the lifetime"Ollie said putting his hand on adam shoulder.
"Listen to your friend you'd have the chance to get back at those who branded you all those years ago"She replied as Adam stood their silent. Then he looked at Bonnie with surprise then at Ollie.
"Did you tell her?"he questioned his friend who simply closed his eyes nodding.
"I'm sorry its the only way you will listen"Ollie replied
Bonnie chuckled as she walked toward him"yes and it seems to be working Adam Taurus. "She began as she then began to slowly circle him and Ollie. Moving her hands across their backs.
"Lke how you betrayed the original White Fang leader Sienna when she left it in your twos care to create this one. "Bonnie said now moving a hand to Adam right shoulder.
"Or the time you raided that village in the Anima causing grimm to attack them a year ago. "She added seductivly moving her hand now under his chin as he stood their almost hypntoized by her. While Ollie had his arm wrapped around him.
"Yes rember when SDC kidnapped me and you and put us to do their slave work in their mines. We were what….you twelve and me…..eleven. Before we both escaped after killing that human guarding us before we went to menagerie."Ollie added as soon Bonnie pulled away from them and Ollie released his arm around Adam.
"Alright you have my attention"he finally said as he relaxed his arms folding them.
Ollie and Bonnie smiled at this." apparently were running short on man power. What if I told you my rescuers here will get us more men but ones who are completely obedient and won't ask questions and run when it gets tough"Ollie replied
"I'd say how did you get access to them?"adam asked not completely convinced.
Bonnie opened a palm as Scar brought out his scroll and placed it into her palm. She then brought up what they meant and showed it to Adam.
"These are Atlas Elite Miltary Defense Force. All of them are programmed to obey any command given to them."Bonnie began.
"You want us to steal robots from them. Thats impossible with the man power we have"Adam said even he wasn't stupid enough to steal from the military again.
"oh you won't even have to lfit a finger. An…..employer of mine has transmitted the virus into their controls that will override them. After that you will have fearless, obieidant soldiers."Bonnie said
Adam now seemed intrigued by this but wanted to make sure"just how many are we talking about?"he questioned.
"In per ship. That not even including the other tech this virus will corrupt. Maybe even those paldains we stole newly improved"Ollie replied
"Then combined with your twos men Beacon will be overunned by both White Fang, Atlas soldiers and with any luck grimm. And two others who will help which makes a beautiful recipe for chaos."Bonnie replied as she grinned.
Adam then began to think for a moment before making a choice. He smirked as he came to his decision.
"I believe we have an agreement . "He said as Bonnie grin never left her face.
"good . I just want you, Ollie and your men to wait before attacking. We'll attack when the time is right. I'll call you when its time for you two to begin the atack"Bonnie replied as the four turnd around and walked away with their new partner grinning.
To adam it was finally take his revenge on those who wronged him. Along with his friend standing by his side to complete their goal they sought after for so long. All they had to do was now wait. But Ollie looked at his friend with hate it seems.
Morning returned to Beacon Academy as students were already up and ready to face the day ahead. Most of them were in morning study groups helping each other prepare for finals that are fastly approaching. Most of every team has separated into small study groups so they're not with there teammates all the time.
One such group was Onxyia helping out Cinder and Emerald helping them study. Rogue decided to help Mercury out with his studies since he found some of the subjects to be quite confusing. Yatsu and Fox surprisingly worked with Cardin group to help them with their studies.
Zane was paired up with Neo, Ruby, Yang and Blake so they get some studying done before the end of the month. The only ones left without a group was Eria and Weiss who grabbed some food first.
Weiss and Eria were walking over with their tray full of food trying to find a spot. But soon they noticed two people by themselves and one close by. The two were coco and velvet trying to help each other studied. Coco seemed to have some trouble while Velvet smiled happy to help her leader. While the other seemed to be a snake fauna leaning agains the wall near a their opportunity the two went over to join them.
"Good morning you two"Weiss greeted which caught the twos attention as they looked up from their spot.
"Oh morning Weiss,eria. Did you two sleep well?"Coco asked, trying to rack her brain around her notes.
"I sleep decent although on our way here i'm surprised too see two of your member studying with cardin group."Eria commented.
"Yeah a couple of them needed help on some subjects those two did pretty well in. "the bunny faunus replied
"At least hes trying to make up for all that stuff he pulled. Maybe some people can change"Weiss added then looked over at the snake faunus.
"Whos he?"Weiss asked with the three looking at him. Their sat a snake faunus with scales on his neck and he wore a mask around his mouth colroed black and green with gold lines.
"him…I think hes apart of Team BRAS."Coco answered lifting her shades down a little.
"Really why is he by himself?"Eria asked the two.
"I don't know, usually in the morning only one of them shows up for breakfast sometimes and its mostly him. "Velvet replied.
Weiss looked at him before getting up and walking over to him. As she did the snake faunus looked at his scroll. Then he shifted his gaze upward looking at Weiss making her way over to him. He clenched his fist as she walked over.
"Hello how are you today?"Weiss asked the boy.
"Fine….what do you want?"the snake faunus asked annoyed it seemed.
"I was wondering if you wanted to join us for our study session. You seemed lonely so.."weiss begun before the snake faunus stood up towering over her staring at her.
"Listen here princesssss I don't like your ssschnee at all. Leave me the hell alone or i'll make you regret it"The snake faunus said.
Weiss stepped back a little sadden by that and sighed"alright then sorry to bother you have a great day ummm…"Weiss begun before the snake faunus introduced himself.
"Adder Tannin now leave me alone"Adder replied as Weiss walked back to the sat back down a little hurt by the comments he made. But she understood why he made them because of her family reputation right now.
"You alright Weiss?"Velvet asked
Weiss sighed"yes…i'm guessing he has something against my family it seems"Weiss answered
"Hmm wouldn't be surrpsied in the hall Fox told me he saw an SDC mark on his arm while he was in the weight room one day. Seems he used to be a worker their"Coco added.
Weiss looked down a little, her father has ruined her entire family legacy that her grandfather built. She wishes he was still incharge maybe then their wouldn't be such harsh working condition now. Along with using faunus slaves as forced labor.
"Hey don't worrie about it maybe you can get to know him more…..their entire team is really mysterious. I've never seen their leader that much"Eria commented.
"Huh weird….maybe they like their privacy"Velvet added as they all ate their breakfast. Soon Ruby came zooming over with some kind of news she received.
"Oh Ruby this had better be good for interrupting our breakfast"Weiss warned threatening to bend her fork.
"Well I was told by Zane how were doing a little party for your sister. And I want your opinion?"Ruby asked
Weiss only sighed"about what?"weiss questioned wondering what Ruby was going to say.
"Chocolate or vanilla cake"ruby said which only seemed to confuse Weiss,Velvet and Coco. While Eria stood their thinking.
"Wait why are you doing this for her?"Coco asked
"Oh were doing it for our uncle….he died around this time. Zane suggested we throw a little party to remember all those we lost."Eria commented looking down smiling.
"Really….hmmm i'd say get a mix of both for everyone. They might not like certain flavors."Weiss replied.
"Great but when should we do it?"Ruby whispered to the group.
As the five thought for a second coco seemed to have an idea"what about doing it during the double round. Be a perfect opportunity for all of us to get together. Celebrate a little party and honor those before the lucky team goes to win the tournament"Coco suggested
"Thats not a bad idea actually….but I feel like we should tell my father about this maybe"Eria added
"Yeah but are you sure this is a good idea what if she freaks out"Velvet asked
"Thats the whole point of a surprise party, it may not be her birthday but maybe she'll be happy about honoring those we lost"ruby noted a little sad it seemed.
They all continued to eat their breakfast before a class bell rung causing the students to file out.
Classes continued as usual but instead Ozpin issued a half day so the students would get more time studying for exams coming up. However that wasn't the case for a particular blonde who he and his partner or should say girlfriend were training for the upcoming tournament.
Jaune was able to parry Pyrrha attac, but Pyrrha immediately reacted as she spun on her hell to block the attack with ehr shield as Jaune sword collided with it.
"Alright thats enough for the today"Pyrrha said as she smiled at him.
"You seemed to be really imrpvoing Jaune. To think you went from barely knoiwng how to hold a sword to able to even read my moves. I'm impressed"pyrrha replied sheathing her sword.
"Thanks Pyr"jaune said calling her by her nickname
"I would have to agree. Jaune seems to have improved ever since you've ben training him Pyrrha. We'll need that when the tournament comes."ren replied
Nora only chuckled"hey i'm sure we'll be fine! I mean we've got some of the toughest teams here at Beacon"Nora replied
"Which makes our school a target. Oyr opponents are going to give it their all in our battles when they fight a team from Beacon. Which is why we all need to be in tip top shape and be ready for anything whatever they throw our way"Pyrrha reminded.
"Yeah the other teams from the different schools are going to be tough and each have a different training program. So we need to prepare for anything"jaune added
"So that means more training then?"nora said
"Yes but try not to blow up the training field this time"ren added which only made Nora pout as she puffed up her cheek.
"That was one time! So I went a little overboard with my weapons big deal"nora replied
"That one time caused us having to fill holes all over the place."juane adding rembering having to fill in an extra large hole because of Noras grenade launcher.
"You can get pretty wild when your in combat Nora in which you need to know when the correct time to attack and when its good to pull back. Plus your very predictable"ren replied in which Nora only rubbed the back of her head nervously.
"Yeah….you got a point their"she agreed
"Alright we'll resume training tomorrow for now its best that we rest up and be ready for the final exams"juane said as his team disappeared for the day.
Then in the evening Eria and Weiss headed toward the weapon smithing class to talk to Eria father. However once they reached the room he was in their with Mulberry. Along with Rogue working at one of the weapon benchs.
"Are you kidding me…why is she here?"Weiss whispered
Eria sighed"she is always working on projects every year during this time. This must be from last year….it takes her mind off things"Eria answered
The two looked around the corner peeking in but as they did Jaki noticed them. Then he slowly sipped his coffee, placing it on the table walking over to the door. They hide behind it thinking he didn't see them.
"Did he see us?"Weiss asked
"I don't think so"Eria replied
"I did you two are terrible at hiding ''Jaki replied with the surprised backing up as he sat their in the doorway. Jaki laughed at the sight slightly then looked back at the room at Rogue and frowned.
"What can I do for you today?"he asked
"Ummm, we're planning on throwing a little party after the doubles match. We were wondering if you wanted to help us out. Its for…..Rogue"Weiss replied confusing the man.
"Why are you throwing a party for her? Your birthday is in the winter. The only thing during this month is…."jaki began then relzied what it meant.
"Your planning on doing a party to remember your uncle aren't you"Jaki asked with Eria and Weiss nodding.
"Yes along with any other people someone lost….we were curious if you could help us?"Eria asked.
Jaki looked inside the room who had just finished with her latest project. She smiled as she connected the two ends together. Then tossing it in her hands smiling but with a sadden look on her face.
Jaki then looked at the two girls then smiled"I'll gladly help…..it would be nice to do something like this." Jaki replied
"That's great I'm pretty sure she'll be happy were doing this"weiss added walking down the hall with Eria staying back. Jaki looked at his daughter who ahd a look of worrie on her face.
"What's wrong sweetie?"Jaki asked leaning agains tthe door frame.
Eria took a deep breath"i'm just nervous…..what if Rogue gets mad at us for doing this"Eria said
Jaki kneeled down a little placing a hand on his daughter shoulder"If anything happens i'll be right their to help alright"Jaki ressured his daughter as she smiled before walking down the hall to join Weiss. Jaki smiled then look back into the room with Mulberry examining Rogue new invention with wonder and intrigue. He smiled before returning to join them.
Meanwhile in another part of the school Ruby was waiting for Lazuli to meet her on any news her mother was still alive. She sat in a hallway kicking her legs in a chair waiting for her.
But then her scroll buzzed as Roman number came up on her scroll which confused her. But she immediately answered it.
"Hello"Ruby answered confused
"Hey Red. I know your waiting for my girl to deliver some good news. But she got caught up in something else so i'm here to deliver it."roman replied but his voice didn't sound like it was good.
"Did you find anything? Maybe a glimpse of hope"Ruby asked hoping their was something.
Roman sighed on the other end which sometimes is a sign it wasn't good.
"I'm sorry….Red but we thought we had something…but nothing turned up"roman said
Ruby looked disappointed that their wasn't a sign of her mother anywhere or if even her mother was alive
"Well…..at least you tried….thank you"ruby said sad.
"If it helps any…..i'm sure your mother is somewhere out their in Remnant….Ruby"roman replied confidently.
"That's the first time you called me by name instead of red"Ruby replied surrpsied
"Don't start Red. I've gotta go. Take care of yourself alright."Roman said.
"Yeah….you too"ruby added as she hung after talking with Roman she was still sad after hearing that he couldn't find her mother. She went to a wall slinging down it and leaned against it, sighing.
"You good their shorty?"a motherly voice asked. Ruby looked up to see a older Tiger faunus looking down on her.
"Yeah I'm okay …...just some stuff i've been thinking about"Ruby said getting up from the floor.
"I see. Thinking about what?"Nadia asked, trying to help the small girl.
"its ….something personal"Ruby added sadly trying to ignore the conversation.
However Nadia already could tell what she was feeling as the women had been through it already.
"You know I may be your combat instructor but that doesnt mean I can listen to your problems. I've been in your shoes tell me whats on your mind"Nadia replied as she took a spot next to her.
Ruby thought for a second before fidgeting bringing her point fingers together as if trying to come up with something to say. Ruby then sighed taking out the photo of her mom showing it to Nadia.
"Thats…..who I was looking for with the help of your friend"Ruby said as Nadia looked at her it hit her what she meant by while she held the photo.
"Oh so….you know, but i'm guessing you're fine with good old Ray"Nadia replied with Ruby nodding at her.
"Yeah…..he doesnt seem like a bad guy. He helped look for her"Ruby said pointing at the picture in Nadia hand.
Nadia lfited it up looking at the photo giving a small smile as she did
"You look like the psitting of her kid"Nadia replied
"Yeah…..but.."ruby started as she paused for a moment.
"Some say that shes dead…."Ruby finally said.
Nadia chuckled a little at this before giving the phot back to the young huntress"Really….and you believe them?"Nadia questioned
"I mean…..that what they told…"Ruby started but Nadia stopped her.
" what they you believe"Nadia replied which seemed to confuse the girl.
"What do you mean?"she questioend
"Do you really think your mother is dead? Or do you ebleive what other people tell you to believe?"Nadia asked
"I mean ….i want to believe that she's still out there alive somewhere but it's kind of hard to know for sure."ruby said unsure it seems.
"I understand that but if you believe that your mother is alive then you need to hold onto that belief and maybe one day you'll find her."Naida replied
"You really think so?"ruby asked
"I know so….believe me when I saw my boy dead years ago. I thought that it might have been some punks robbing the place and they kidnapped him. But soon enough I lost that hope a while ago."Nadia said, rubbing her metal arm.
"But what?"ruby asked, waiting for her to finish.
Nadia smiled a little thinking about something"That years later he came back to me alive….these last few days have been a blessing. And I believe the same thing will happen to you someday kid….don't lose hope"Nadia finished as the young huntress began to smile.
"Thank you for that Miss walker"Ruby said
"No problem and call me Nadia sweetie. Now you should get back to your dorm. "The tiger faunus said as she got up with a cracked being heard and she groaned.
"Do you need help?"ruby asked
"Nah i'm alright guess all those fights i've been in finally are getting to me. But i'll be fine"Nadia replied with Ruby smiling.
"Thank you for the talk. I really needed it."Ruby said feeling a bit better
"Your welcome kid"Nadia said but Ruby giggled.
"Call me Ruby Rose ma'am"Ruby reminded which made Nadia laugh.
"Oh i'll be sure to remeber that next time"Nadia said as the young huntresses ran back to her dorm smiling waving to the tiger faunus.
Nadia was glad she could help in some way to ease the young huntresses in distress. When she lost Zane years ago she lost hope after a couple years. But now shes happy that hes back but she wondered about something. Why would a women like that suddenly vanish and leave behind a girl like her? She hope something like that would be answered in due time.
It seems that adam has agreed to work with bonnie and her mysterious allies. While it also seems that everyone is studying the best they can right now for the exams. Ruby got a peptalk from a tiger which seemed to keep a small bit of hope still their. Thansk for reading
