Last chapter we saw that someone might be returning to old habots. But this time lets see how pyrrha is doing in belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, Au. hope you enjoy
Chapter 45:Secret Soilder
After the council meeting right now ironwood was lead to a separate room inside the building right now. It was a small meeting room with some comfy chairs to sit on along with others things in the mix. But right now sitting in the room with them was penny along with her best friend ciel. As the general had a tray of snacks and drinks deliveries to them.
Though they stayed silent for a bit while ciel took small bites of a sandwich in hand slowly. While she did soon enough at one point penny eyed one of the snadhwich. She didn't feel hunger but wanted to have something to eat. As she stared at it peitro noticed it
"Dear you can still eat normal food…though it may just be put into a…sort of storage device. Since your stomach was harmed"peitro said
"Oh…really um ok"penny shyly said taking a sandwich up biting into it. She coudln't really taste anything on it but chewed it then swallowed it wondering what other body parts got damaged during that day she had amnesia
The general sighed"pietro if this is something to do about your daughter what is it? Have you discovered that strange…development with her acting normal again"ironwood asked
"In a way yes sir. As you can see she acting like her normal self somewhat after the events in the lab. During that time pietro and me along with some others helped perform a emergency procedure on her. Which in turn rescued her from the brink of death"merlot stated
Penny sat their listening a little wondering if she shouldn't be listening to this as they cotninued to talk
"Ah yes the penny project….ironic that you named it on creating new androids that could generate a semblance. So the public believes with the events that happened during the fall"ironwood said but this made penny flinch a little right now
Which he noticed as she was shaking a little guessing she was troubled by that. Carmine reached over gently placing a hand on her shoulder making her flinch again but this time she looked down wrapping her arms around herself.
"James…lets not bring that up around her okay. She seems to be troubled from what happened to her that day"carmine said
"Why…becuase…because i was stabbed….by that thing"penny said quietly but they heard it as merlot shared a look with peitro shaking his time because now wasn't the time.
"I understand your afraid dear. But that is why where here today to talk to james about doing something for you right now"peitro said confusing the general but his interest was peeked
"Pietro if this is about trying to create an army of androids. It would be benefical but at the same time i rather not have several of them be hacked again. I'm having you and some others work on fixing that issue"ironwood replied
"Actually uh sir its quite the opposite….i wanted to see if you will allow my daughter to attend your academy"peitro said which caught him offguard right now
"Abosulely not. Because if i let her go their she may get herself or others hurt. No offense if watts and wolly are in atlas. She may get hacked by him since he was always a skilled hacker over the years"ironwood refused
But the man wasn;t giving up"oh so you won't let her do that but yet force her to be your tin soldier. "Peitro said but almost yelled it seems
This put the two at an awkward silence for a moment as he wanted to try and capture the previous grimm prisoner they had. But seeing what that grimm inside that boy looked like changed his tune about it now. Because ozpin must have known about that thing having silver eyes like those silver eyed warriors
"Pietro and i told you i'm sorry for that. But we needed to have someone fight and detain the subject. Even though it seems to be on our side now"ironwood said
Carmine scoffed"oh shut up you've always hated that child. What changed james…hmmm a change of heart. Bout time since you act like one of your own tin soldiers"she said coldly making him not react but he gave a heavy sigh
"Miss alcus i understand your anger toward me. But at the same time what would happen if she taken by the talon. If their in our kingdom we need to keep her safe at all cost"irownood said as they pointed something out
"Well thats why we move her to the academy. Plenty of huntsman and huntresses their along with that soldiers on sigh. You've move about twenty of artemis spartans onto the school to survey it and protect miss nikos"merlot said peeking penny interest hearing that name
As the girl tried to recall something from that discussion with her father and will. How they told her about most of the students she remembered during her time at beacon for the vytal festival even if she can't remember it
But that girl was someone that rose girl told her about on the times they caught each other at the festival. Along with that she had some articles displayed on her face again as they didn't see them but she did
To her shock it showed articles on that girl being among the dead during beacon fall. As she scanned the list of the dead seeing some of them on their. Along with articles on missing people along with bodies going missing as a message appeared
"Question him on this"the text read as she was getting a little nervous now
"Who are you? Are…are you one of the talon"she thought to speak to this strange text. But it was silence for a moment till it spoke again
"Talon? No i am…i don't have a name. I think i am the chip inside your head"the text read back stunning her thinking about this text for a moment. She didn't understand how computer and AI chips work. But how her father and the others acted this chip in her head evolved…it might be the reason her memories returned to her
"Okay we need to talk about this later okay"she thought as the text gave a thumps up to her as she looked toward their conversation
"She an acception. Without that parasite inside her shes safe from harming any of the students. I;ve tasked artemis soldier to guard her at all times just incase anything happens. "Ironwood argued
"But what about my daughter? You owe me james for forcing her to go out on the field when i warned you not to do it. She almost died becuase of your igronace!"peitro shouted surprisingly as they were at a stand still until she spoke up
"Why shouldn't i go to the academy? "Penny asked surprising them
"Exucse me miss poledina?"ironwood asked to make sure
"You heard me sir. Right now i don't even remember any of these so called functions that you've installed into my head. I don't know how to control anything in my body let alone fight. Because well…if my memory serves me right i did always want to become a huntress"penny said standing up straight with a condfient look
"I need training to hone and require my skills i lost fucnitoing my equipment. Because if i can't defend myself if these talon member come after me or my father. Then i'll be in enemie hands…which makes me an easy source of producing their own army of andorids"penny smartly said making him stunned
The general was at a loss for words right now hearing this. As she was right in a way that if she can't evend efend herself now. She may be an easier target instead of pyrrha for watts to snatch her up. He still hasn't heard back from some of his researcher on a shipping manifest for atlas research that was on the argus limit a while back
Sitting in complete silence for a moment the general took her words in then sighed at his answer
"Miss polidina….you…make a good argument their. Very well you are military property in a way even though you still have a human brain and heart. I will let you attend atlas academy on some conditions"ironwood said to their surprise as she nodded
"Anything sir"penny replied
"Conditon one is that your to not harm any of the students unless they harm someone else without warning. Condition two your to have daily and weekly checkup with your father along with doctor merlot. Codniton three..under no circumstances your too attack pyrrha nikos or the knight knwon as omega"he said making her flinch at that name confusing why he was protecting the one that stabbed her
But taking in these codntion for a moment thinking of actually being able to live her life. The girl nodded agreeing with them.
"That seems fine sir…but may i ask why i can't harm those two. Out of curiosity"penny asked as the general paused for a moment
"Your father can explain that to you in due time. But i need to run to check on the patrols along with making sure jacque doens't leave his mansion"ironwood said leaving them for now
But as they did penny was a little excited to be heading to the academy where her best friend lives.
Meanwhile at the academy right now pyrrha was wandering the halls still with the others. Because they needed to make a quick stop as mariana had to grab a case from the car she took to get here. It was maroon in color along with having gold lining it seeming to be a weapons case from the look of it
But as they where talking they were all talking well persia was mainly asking pyrrha about what she was up to back in beacon. Along with hearing about those two twin sisters and her team as well.
"So you got a team i know. Tell me about them please…please"persia begged as razma laughed slightly
"Oh my god all this girl has acted like for the last month is all shy. Now shes all giddy to see you"razma teased making the girl blush in embarrassment
"Hey solomon your one to talk miss i get giddy everytime i head to that club you work at"neon ratted out as the magician opened her mouth to talk but shut it as grinch tapped his chin
"Ah that why you seemed familiar. Your that girl who sings at the octopus right"grinch asked as she smiled
"Yep worked out a deal with the owner their. I asked her if i could sing their because its a passion of mine. Though she was against it at first but i begged her pretty much giving her a sample song of mine. She loved it because it reminded her of how her family is"razma said produly
But mariana laughed at that"You mean how i've heard that women is into some kinky things. Three partners is quite alot"she replied as pyrrha tail swayed around
"Oh wait didn't you come with us when we visited it"pyrrha said to hunter who stared at her because he didn't tell his moms about that. Then he looked toward his mom
As mariana was staring him down with daggers hearing her son went into that type of place. It was dead queit as she riased her hand as he closed his eyes tight expecting to be smacked. But instead she patted him on the head smiling
"Well look at you getting into clubs….i don't implore someone your age to sneak into that type of place. But your lucky its just a jazz club unlike the vest vices place"mariana said but grinch chuckled at that for a moment
'Oh man don't remind me about that place. We took the younglood out on a missions their during his birthday. Funniest crap ever"grinch said laughing
"Uhhh ramierz got his nose broken to make himself look like soem sleez ball. God….oh man i'm happy we succeed but yet its still around"sarah replied peeking the students interest
"Ohhh you have secret missions….can you tell us one please"neon begged but her partner pulled her back because of the main word being secret
"Neon they can't exactly say what they did…its a secret mission for a reason."flynt reminded as the cat faunus whined at that for a moment
"Hey shes alright kid we can't say much though….it was a night to remember. "Grinch replied
"Yeah but…tell me about your team please…i know those two where on one. But what about you"persia asked as the red head thought about her teammates for a moment then she started to talk about them for a bit
"Well uh their was one other girl on our team her name was nora valkyrie"she started
"Ahhh that chick…saw her riding an uras through the town during the fall. She was crazy…kinda dig it"flynt replied making pyrrha laugh slightly
"Thats nora for you, she did the same thing during initiation actually. Though she was always acting very dumb at times. But in reality i knew she was smart because she cared deeply for everyone of our friends. Especially ren my other teammate they actually knew each other for most of their lives actually"pyrrah said
"Really? That cool i'm guessing that guy was her partner"henry asked as he was right
'You are right….but well him and her actually lost their home long ago. Their both from kuroyuri a grimm known as a knuckleleeve destroyed it actually"pyrrha said peeking mariana interest recalling something she heard around
"Actually good news on that place…it been getting rebuilt by the branwhen tribe. Even heard rumor that qrow branwhen went through their with some random kids in his party."mariana said surprising them as pyrrha immediately guess who was with him maybe. They might have heard about havan attack….ruby might have which would make sense
"Huh thats nice but what about that guy"razma asked
'Ren was very calm and collected actually. He never seemed to get mad and him and nora knew each really well. His semblance was sort of like a cloaking field against grimm by calming people emotions. Though funny enough those two are well dating despite being partners"pyrrha answered
"Really? That would mean your leader was your partner….who was he?"persia asked intrigued
The girl opened her mouth to speak but paused for a moment. As the thought of jaune came to her mind right now. She started to recall what she did to him during the fall by shoving him into some locker. Sending him off while she knew she might die that day but never expected to come back from the grave
But she thought long and hard about him and her relationship. She fancied him the first day of beacon and thought he might just view her as the champion of sacnutm not the girl. But he didn't he wanted to know who the girl was….not the champion
This resulted in them noticing her becoming quiet as sarah tapped her on the shoulder startling her a little
"Heyya kid you good over here?"Sarah asked concerned
"You were spacing out for a bit what….you don't like talking about that guy or something"hunter asked but was corrected
"Nah rumor is i heard around in argus before i left how he dated her or whatever. How the champion of sanctum finally got conquered in the heart"flynt said as this made pyrrha white skin turn red in the face as her tail began to wag in a fluid motion
"Ohhhhhhhh that makes sense now"neon said as razma had to ruin it
"You guys do the nasty or something in the bed"razma bluntly asked making pyrrha blush even brighter because they never did anything like that that
"No! Why would you e-e-e-even ask something like that…i..i…i.."she stammtered into a stuttering mess as razma laughed slightly at that with persia puffing her cheek up bonking razma or well tried to but instead hit her in the boob
The magician grinned"try harder than that shortie"she said but then from above a fist came down bonking her on the head. Which was mariana who rolled her eyes at the girl
"Well i'm tall kid besides quit teasing each other about your love lifes. Besdies we should be getting their soon enough."mariana said
Maybe after five minutes soon enough all of them arrived in the training hall at that moment. While the others where used to it pyrrha wasn't. It looked alot bigger than beacon training field along with that bigger than the one she saw for the upperclassman. But noticed the holo projectors on the wall currently active
"What is this place?"pyrrha questioned
"This right here is a training hall for the academy. A little bigger than other place but its a great place to train for becoming a huntress"persia said happily
"What you've never been to something like this before?"neon asked
"Umm no not really we had something at beacon i think like this. But well…thing is i never got to use it. Upper classman only"pyrrha answer embarrassed a little
"Well now you got access to state of the art atlas training tech. You guys wanna check it out before we show you how it works"razma asked
"Sure because come to the console. Their are also emblem here that will simulate certain fighters some of them even on the ace ops"flynt replied walking over to a nearby console. Some of them crowded around it to see certain emblems on it right now. As their were some similar to some but foreign to most. As it showed a turtle shell, with a rabbit having electricity crackling around it, another was a vine, roots for another, their was also one of a four leaf clover their.
Some other noticeable ones was the schnee family crest their. But it had two of them actually one that had a helmet above it and the other with a officer sword. While their were some spartan helmets their with names or more like nicknames above them
"Who are all of these people…along with that their are two symbols for the schnee family"pyrrha questioned
"Oh those two would be nicholas and winter. The sword is for the good old ice queen of the barracks"sarah joked as it seemed winter had the same title as her sister which pyrrha found funny kinda.
"So what about these ones let me guess soldiers or whatever"hunter asked annoyed
"Yep a few of us are on here lets see we got….frostbite…harp….circus act….deadeye which is me"grinch said surprising some
"You guys all have little club nicknames or something"henry joked
"Oh we do because lets see who else we got on here…scarface our commander, stonewall and lastly….youngblood"sarah said hesitating on that one which flynt noticed finding that weird but soon enough they decided to get this show on the road
"So who wants to go first….not you two because you don't even have weapons"mariana said to her son and his bofyriend. Immediately stepping up to the plate was razma and neon as the two drew both their weapons as razma had some playing cards
Once they were on the field mariana ordered sarah and grinch to guard the entrance incase leah came back here for revenge apparently. Then she generated a field that shimmed into a dense jungle from the look of it.
Then she twisted another knob as it began their simualtution deciding to take it easy on them for now. She summoned about three uras their and a opponent which was winter schnee pixelzied which the two where caught off guard by staring her down. As she smiled at them
"Have fun with the former ice queen"mariana said kindly
The simulation soon began as the uras charged at the cat fuanus first. But immedialty she began to skate out of the way as she activated her skates
Neon cat dodged the strike as she pviitoed her hips twirling around the grimm smacking it in the hind legs making it roar form the stirk. Then it came right at her chasing her down as she skated toward a digituzed tree as she smiled once she got close to it. Neon lunged forward wrapping her arms around the thin trunk to launch herself back around. Using her momentum she hit the grimm sending it flying into some digitzed wooden spikes killing it as it turned int pixels.
With razma she was busy dealing with the two uras going after her but she lifted her sword. As she slashed at one of the beast as it passed her then the second swiped at her hitting her sending her back a bit. But she had other plan as she drew about four cards in her hands as the two grimm regorups to take her down at the same time
With a flick of her wirst she threw two cards into both of them as they kept charging at her. Then she raised her hand snapping her fingers as all four cards denaoted into a fiery explosion as they turned into pixels themsleves
Which left winter schnee who stepped forward waving her sword around pointing it at the two. As neon recalled her fight with weiss right now thinking of trying something as she started to skate forward to try and distracted her for razma. While razma dashed foward pressing a button on her sword
It started to morph into something else that being a long revolver with the deck of cards on the sdie of the barrel. As they all started to blink for a moment then ding slightly. As she fired off a few shots at the digitized winter.
But the copy of her experly blocked her shot as neon came in swining her glowsticks at her hitting her in the side. Though what the cat didn't expect was for winter to dodged razma gunfire again as two shots nailed neon in the back knocking her aura down by a little.
Though razma hesitated on seeing that as this resulted in her knocking neon out of the ring flat on her face. The cat faunus gornaed heavily as razma was distracted by that. Because next thing the copy of winter did was summon a air glyph launching a gust of wind into the girl as she went flying out of it as well
The simulation stopped but they all turned to see razma upside down partial up a wall. Then she fell down flat on her back groaning loudly
"Ughhhh you suck lady!"razma shouted
Mariana laughed slightly"come on i said i would take it easy….your lucky i wasn't out their or clover. Me and that guy where the best atlas had to offer"she cooed as flynt walked over helping his partner up to her feet as she sighed
"Fine we get it….your tougher than our combat teacher oh wait you are our combat teacher!"neon shouted making her grin at them
"Well with over with who wants to go next?"flynt asked as no one stepped up at first until persia raised her hand
"Oh…oh could me and pyrrha go"persia asked excited but the red head had a problem she didn't have a weapon actually
"I um…don't actually have a weapon…i lost it during the fall"pyrrha shyly said but that was when mariana pulled the case up placing it on a nearby table close by
"Thats not a problem. Had pietro make this for you yesterday wasn't hard since will help him out. Take a look kid"mariana said
This surprised her that they made her a weapon as pyrrha walked over to examine it. Carefully she placed her hands on the case slowing undoing the latches on the case. Once she opened she looked surprised on what was inside the case right now
Their inside the case right now where…perfect copies of her weapon milo and her shield akouo. This stunned her seeing these two again as she carefully picked up her shield staring at her relfeciton for a moment seeing her grimm face. But mariana noticed her stunned look
"Stunned kid….i thought hey this girl would like to have her gear. It wasn't hard for him to replicate it. Though be warn he added some modification to it"mariana said surrpsing her
"What type of modifcaiton?"pyrrha asked
Instead of telling her she showed her as she picked up akouo. Then pressed a button underneath the shield it collapsed back into something that being a golden bracer from the look of it. Though as she pressed another button she flipped it over
Their it revealed what seems to be a slot for a dust capusale along with a mount for a rifle.
"Pietro added a dust ignitor on this thing but it aint working yet. It sort of does but it may cause some damage…suggest you don't use your grimm arm right their for it. Your sword is still the same though"mariana explained
Finding the words hard to say pyrrha just smiled nodding thinking of thanking that man for doing this for her. Quickly she slipped on the bracer as it fit perfectly on her wirst while she held her sword in her other hand feeling like a piece of her was back
Quickly the two took the field at that moment as the two got out their respective weapons. While persia readied her katana with pyrrha riaisng her sword
Mariana thought of a fun little opponent to use on the two as she pressed the console actviaitng it selecting their oppoentn and field. As a snowy field was their battle ground.
Then the projector created something that being a singular opponent. That being the simon riley program but it was kneeling the ground with its katana buried in the snow infront of it like it was waiting. While strapped to his hips where a set of revovler with two dual dual falcata swords on his back
But he wore a tradtioanlly atlas spartan uniform but he wore a skull mask along with a set of sunglasses hiding his eyes. This confused them why she just summoned one random guy
"Uhhhh miss tortuga…who is this because you've never made us fight this program in class"persia questioned
'Yeah who is this guy….he looks weird"henry added
"Oh right meet one of my students in our little group of soldiers. Sergent riley aka simon riley aka youngblood. Aka the youngest to become a sergeant in the military…i suggest you be ready"mariana wanted as they got ready
"So…we have to fight a random special ops soldier…yeahhh"persia said nerovusly
"Just stick together if we can overwhelm it we can win"pyrrha replied as she nodded to her. Soon enough the women pressed a button for the simtulion to benign
"COMECNING BATTLE SIMULTATION"a mechanical voice said as immediately the soldier drew both dual swords dashing foward at them
While the two ready themselve for whoever it was going to attack. He first went for pyrrha bringing down both blades in her direction. But she blocked the strike with ease shoving them back right into persia who slashed at their opponent
Persia then tried to slash at him again but this time he flipped one sword backward. As he slashed at her a few time getting a good chunk of her aura down, then he spin kicked her back a few feet onto the ground as she rolled for a bit. This gave pyrrha the chance as she reeled her sword back slashing at him several times as he blocked her strikes occasionally.
But she was dealing massive damaged to her opponent though soon enough the opponent was having enough of their little fight. As he pushed her back but she blocked it with her shield as he slashed at her a few times but her shield protected her from his assault. Then persia dashed over returning the same spin kick to him launching him back knocking his swords out of his hands
Though as the two regrouped pyrrha noticed how the pixel opponent drew a pair of revolvers from his hip. But for some reason they looked familiar to her as she glanced at the katana in the ground as it also seemed familiar to her
Before she could question it aymore the oppone to began to fire off shot upon shot from his revolvers at the two. As they quickly doddged his strikes as pyrrha dashed forward raising her shield up to protect herself from the gunfire as it bounced off her shield
But with persia as she began to dash forward blocking off the shots with her katana. He noticed her being closer before switching target flicking a revler back launching himself forward. Before she could react he punched her in the face with his revolver hard. This sent her flying out of the ring as she landed hard on the ground groaning right now meaning she was out
Right as the soldier did that it was in the middle of trying to reload its weapons. But pyrrha used this oppportuntiy to reel her shiel back noticing something on it. That being a button that she assumed if she right would detach her shield
Pressing the button as she prayed it was what she hoped for. To her luck the shield came off the bracer launching itself forward straight into the hologram kncoking both its digititzed revolvers as they turned into pixels. The sheild then was return to her thanks to using her semblance
She clicked it back onto place as the soldier turned around staring her down as he walked over retrieving the katana. Then he brought it up taunting her by moitoing her to come at him. Pyrrha narrowed her gaze quickly switching to her weapon javelion form as she hucked it staight at him
Once she did he raised his katana deflecting the javalion dashing straight for her dragging it on the ground. While it came sprinting after her using her semblance she pulled back her weapon as it came straight for his head to nail him. But as it got closer the hologram then reeled his sword back throwing it at her
Right as he did the javelin hit him in the head as he disappeared into pixels. But the katana was still their just long enough to hit her knocking her slightly of the ring meaning she was out. But she still won by defeating her hologram
"BATTLE SIMULATION OVER"the mechanical voice said as the hologram projectors dsipepared
Taking a breath glad that fight was over feeling a little rusty right now not using her weapon. While persia got up up rubbing her sore back as they regroup with the others.
"Man that guy was tough…i can't believe hes an atlas graduate"persia said
"Hey were the best our kingdom has to offer besides most of us may join the military. Me…nah"razma said
"Yes though….that holo simulation was brutal. I didn't expect their to be ace ops or these soldiers in here. I can admit i am quite rusty"pyrrha admitted
"Well it is a complex system…i mean seriously i got my butt whooped by some of them"neon added
"Wells its a complex system who wants to…"mariana was stopped as her scroll began to ring right now
"Hold on one second i need to take this don't touch anything"mariana warned walking to a private room to take this. As they waited for her for a bit henry hummed tapping his chin which they all noticed
"Hen what are you thinking right now?"hunter questioned
"Well i mean….if thats one of your moms students. We should see how to beat her sometime because she'll try to spar with us. I wanna see if i could ask him for some help"henry said as some where all for it. He began to go throught the console putting up the data on the opponent the opponent right now. As they found him with several others
"Whoa general ironwood is on here…i didn't know he was in this"razma said surprised
"Along with lets see…huh raven and qrow branwhen. We've never faced them before"persia said
"Well from what yang and ruby told me about their team. They were pretty well known back in the day"pyrrha replied as henry dig some digging until finding something
"Here we go…one sergent riley. Codename youngblood joined the military…three years ago"henry said making some of them confused right now hearing that
'Uhh what? I get that some people go through basic in the military if they wanna join. But uh is it me or does that sound weird"neon pointed out
"Your not wrong…says here he was a graduate of atlas a few years ago. But i'm sure the upperclassman would have brought that up. Someone skilled like that would be brought up"persia added
Henry did some more digging pulling up his file but it just showed basic information their. Along with that it showed him wearing that same skull mask in the picture which was weird
"Okay…thats not creepy. Is the guy like some burn victim or something why would he wear that?"razma aksed as hunter shrugged his shoulder but seemed a little nervous
"Don't know he is one of the spartans. They do have to keep their identity secret surprised that artemis even told you"hunter added but pyrrha wanted to see something
"Could you pull up anything else because…i don't know why those weapons he used seemed simliar"pyrrha said as he typed of the console for a bit as neon watched out for the others as he found some articles
"Nothing on that but we got some articles and….holy crap. This guys a decorated soldier pretty much….twnety three confirmed missions with ace ops and spartan ops. Hes taken down three serial killers, rescued slaves…hostage heck even was their when holly and her family where held hostage"he said
"Wait that wilkins girl was held hostage?"pyrrha asked surprised
"Yeah holly…holly doesn't like talking about it. Don't bring it up with her okay"Razma said though what henry pulled up next was a surprise. That being a field report saying that he was last seen during the fall of beacon. Along with the words KIA and awol written on the report
"Okay….thats weird says here he went…awol. That he died in the line of duty"henry stated
"Bummer thought he'd be fun to ask questions on how to beat his mom"neon said
"Yeah beat the guy…whos…totally dead"hunter said backing up staring at the room his mom was in. this caught flynt attention wondering something as he took the console over then searched around it before finding an old combat log. Deciding to press it the projectors activated again which caught them by surprise
"What are you doing?"pyrrha asked
"I'm playing an old combat log…recent around the time when beacon semester started actually"flynt said scaring hunter right now as it showed the same man fighting some bots off right now destroying them with his katana. Which seemed normal enough
"Okay its just him fighting some bots…nothing interesting"razma said until suddenly enough a beowulf slashed at him making him stumble then something happened. As he growled as a organic skin covered him catching them offguard especially pyrrha. Because it looked exactly like zanes semblances
All of them where in shock as the hologram grabbed the beowulf by the arm tearing it off easily. Then it grabbed it by the throat slamming it down on the ground killing it laughing slightly. As he molted the armor off his body as they were stunned
"Thats the grimm guy! What the heck is he doing on this thing?!"neon shouted but didn't yell thankfully
"Uhhhh i don't know….uhhh yeah i can't process any of this right now"henry admitted
Though it showed him digging into a pouch trying to inject a syringe into his neck. But a goliath launched him back as the syringe was knocked out of his hands but disappeared into pixels. As it showed him on the ground panting heavily as he clutched his head in pain right now screaming curling up. Then the goliath disappeared as voice spoke in the video feed
"God dammit! I thought you told me he could control it"ironwood said appearing in the feed along with mariana their
"Hey not my fault you cranked this thing up a bunch…where the dumb syringe at"she said in the feed. But then it showed his body controting and cracking all of sudden as it showed several other soldier rushing it aiming stun baton at him. As soon it showed something pyrrha hasn't seen in a long time…zane in his monster form.
Which meant that what he meant by staying in atlas. Right as the creature swiped at them soon enough the feed was cut. They all turned around seeing mariana their with grinch and sarah by her side with anger in their eyes
"What did i tell you about touching things"mariana scolded
"We didn't touch it we uh….uhhhh…."neon couldnt' come up with a lie right now as marina sighed rubbing her eyes
"Well…guess thats out of the bag and i need to make sure you kiddies keep your trap shut"mariana said cracking her knuckles as hunter scoffed at her
"Mom…i'm not in the mood for you to mess with them. Just tell them about the stupid guy tried to make me hang out with. Annoyance more like it"hunter said surprising them he knew about that
"You..you…huh?!"henry shouted in surprise as mariana sighed shaking her head smiling.
"Okay i'm going to keep this very short. But before i talk if the general hears you all talking about this…ever…he'll lock you in jail. Then throw away the key for the rest of your lives. Got it"she warned presenting a knife as neon held her throat as they all nodded in agreement
"Good…good old simon riley aka zane graves. Who well had to find his training somewhere before heading off to beacon to find his family"mariana explained sitting down to their shock especially pyrrha hearing her friend was a soldier for atlas miltary
"Huh?!"flynt shouted surprised right now
"No scratch that….why is that even allowed?!"razma shouted as grinch shook his head
"Hey your lucky it was us that found you out. If baker or jules along with anyone else you'd be dead on the spot. But well…what else do you think a kid would do locked in a jail cell for eight years of his life"grinch said surprising the atlas students right now
"Wait…that..guy on the news…that part grimm…came from here?"flynt asked shocked
"He did…oh well more like found him in a screwed up lab. You see years ago my wife went missing. Thing is i get a message from her out of the blue saying that she being held in some lab. We breach it..secure the facility then ebi tells me how they left a subject behind"she paused staring at her hands sighing shaking her head
"Though….what we didnt expect was for one large grimm to come through. Dam thing almost killed bree…though i took it at the cost of both my limps here. But hey i don't mind because what i was told happen next. My wife comes in shoots it with some needle….then is turned into some little kid beaten and battered looking like some skeleton"mariana continued painting the picture for them
"Okay…but…is…is that why he never talked about himself at beacon? He was always so….closed up on himself. I guessed because of his amnesia"pyrha said as she was half right
"Half right kid….try living two years at the age of ten years old in a small cramped jail cell. Wags got stuck watching him everyday. Though one day when he says he wanted to become a huntsman to find his family. It was refused at first"sarah said
"But the mighty headmaster of beacon for some reason insisted on it. Saying he could prove useful…trained him for a year. Then he got sent on life and death missions at the age of fourteen. "She cotninued
"Whattttttttt"neon said surprised but in awe right now
"Okay our kingdom is messed up….who would have thought"razma joked
Grinch scoffed"oi it was either that or stay locked up all his life. Kid in the end found his family…though lucky that syringe keeps his grimm side under control along. Shame he labeled as a criminal now"grinch said seeming upset making them question that
"Wait…your sad that he helped started the fall?"henry stupidly asked making him growl at him as he fell back to the ground.
"Grinch sit down"mariana ordered as he growled sitting down as she cotninued
"Kid…my wife for the past eight years tried to remove all those mental suggestion in his head. But people with mind semblnaces are rare…luckily merlot removed all of them. And that it….now anymore questions"She asked
It was silence for a moment as pyrrha spoke up"okay…that…actually makes so much sense now. He did almost break cardin wrist after almos tearing velvet ears off. Though that resulted in her becoming apart of a polymary couple with onxyia"pyrrha said
"Best 100 lion i got…clove will never win his. Five partner aint gonna happen"sarah said
"Hey i could help i mean i kinda dig that sort of thing….i've got a thing for both teams"Razma seducitvly said making stare her down.
"No…god can we just go clean up because my brain hurts"persia admitted as they decided to get cleaned up from today shengains. But pyrrha learned something new about her friend right now wondering what other secrets their were here.
This chapter saw that pyrrha figured out her friends miltaristic background. Along with that her old weapons returned to her, I tried to think of an interesting new weapon for her. But i thought pietro would make an extact copy of her weapon with some modifcations. Thanks for reading!
