Location: Alternate Remnant
The heavily fortified gates of Atlas opened up and the guards stood aside, saluting the newly welcomed visitor.
Yoru smirked to herself as she walked past the rows of saluting soldiers heralding her arrival. It felt good to be appreciated here. Even if she wasn't in charge, as the sister of the ice queen she was given just as much privilege to enter without so much as a body search. As much as she despised not being considered the number one here, the respect was nonetheless appreciated.
The guards allowed her to enter through the castle and left once she told them she could handle the rest by herself. She moved up the stairs until she got to her destination.
Her sister's study.
She opened the door, almost expecting the Ice Queen herself to be there. But she found the study empty. It was a harrowing feeling entering it without Weiss there. It had been kept in pristine condition in the months that she had disappeared.
"Why are we here and not looking for them?" Asa asked her.
She saw the spiritual form of the one she shared a body with standing beside her as she entered the study. "We need a base of operations. This place is perfect" Yoru replied.
"This is not what father tasked us with" Asa pointed out to her.
"I know!" Yoru shouted angrily as she lunged towards the spiritual form of her symbiotic body owner, only to watch it evaporate it into nothing. Grunting, Yoru walked around the study before reaching the desk. There was not much on it, owning to the fact how little it had been used in the last few months with her sister's predicament.
She saw a photo frame and picked it up. Listed in it was a picture of her sister Weiss, alongside baby Kara and their father Thanos happily posing for a picture.
Yoru sniffed in contempt looking at it "father's favorite huh…." She said before angrily smashing the framed photo to the floor in pieces. She let out an earsplitting scream of anger, engulfing the entire study into it. All the while the spiritual manifestation of Asa stood back silently watching the War Devil throw what was to her the equivalent of massive temper tantrum.
White Fang Camp:
After sitting around the table for a day, Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha and Adam had been discussing ways to deal with the otherworldly presence that had appeared and had now presumably already made its way to Atlas.
Weiss barely slept a wink. Her mind wondering around and about every worry she could imagine. About Yoru being here and having Atlas's entire arsenal at her disposal, she worried about her friends, Ruby and Yang…
And most frequently she thought about Jaune and little Kara. She knew Kara was safe with the remainder of the team but Jaune…she had no idea what happened to him. Was he saved from being sucked into that prison or did he end up getting stuck…
She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts. Now was not the time to worry, worry wouldn't help anyone they needed to figure out what to do right now.
"I got it!" Adam spoke up suddenly.
Everyone in the room perked up as Adam began pacing back and forth mumbling "it's risky" and "it could work but…"
"Darling what have you come up with?" Pyrrha asked her husband.
"Well it's a crazy idea but it might just work. But it's going to require a lot of guts and well…a lot of acting skills."
"What are you talking about?" Weiss asked a little more than curiously.
Adam huffed before saying "we're going to infiltrate Atlas," he said, making everyone in the room look at him as if he went crazy "more specifically. You are going to infiltrate Atlas" he finished before pointing a finger at a dumbfounded Weiss.
