Last chapter saw the group arriving in atlas and running into several grimm knights. But now they might be meeting with one thats in belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. hope you enjoy
Chapter 2:Discussing Ideas
All of them stayed completely still right now on what they just saw. That being the wyvern knight killing maya by ripping her chimera out of her back. But they were all of the defensive right now as qrow stepped forward with his scythe at the ready
"Alright lady your out numbered…don't know what your name is. But killing your own aint gonna make us trust you"qrow warned as to their shock she did something
Dracona placed both her weapons on the ground before putting her hands up. Then she presented herself in a surrendering position to not be viewed as a threat to their complet shock
They stood in silence for a moment as carmine along with peitro and penny came outside. As the women sighed in relief to see her okay
"So james sent you here to meet up with them. But uh…."carmine paused seeing maya on the ground before walking over spitting on her corpse disrepecting it as she huffed loudly
"You dealt with one of arthur volunteers…..that another one dead. "She added
Dracona chuckled slightly"yes though…i noticed lec and wu here…i couldn't grab them"She said in a normal tone shocking them even more as summer stepped forward hurt her friend got away but wanted to see something
"Wait a minute…you…you aren't attacking anyone. Why aren;t you attacking anyone?"summer questioned as the hybrid followed her voice before giving a chuckle toward her as she put her hands down
"This is quite a surprise…the women i was forced to hunt down. Now out of hiding…though as for why i'm normal"Dracona said deciding to show them
Reaching up this made them on edge but she was just removing her helmet. Planting her hands on the side she started to remove it as it showed her face. All of them where in complete shock right now seeing her eyes
Because her eyes werne't the color of crimson right now instead they were light charcoal black. Her real eye color
This made zephyra gasp slightly as nora went wide eyed seeing this women act normal right now giving her and ren hope that they could save wu. While zane stared in shock right now seeing that women face
As a painful headache went off in his head as he cried falling to his knees right now
"Hey you okay?"perun asked concerned as he panted heavily as a flash went off in his head showing someone in a tube labeld epsilon. But as the headache stopped he had tears slowly starting to stream down his face in shock right now.
Though as he started to slowly come back to reality a shadow loomed over him. He slowly looked up to see the wyvern hybrid staring at him with a stunned look. Before suddenly she hugged him as her wings flapped for a moment as they settled. The women had a small smile on her face
"So…the brat that diego watch out for is alive. Along with being quite normal"dracona said separating as he slowly stood up with a stunned look unable to talk right now
Summer was shocked herself"You…you…your normal? How are you…i…the…how?"she asked stunned
"Oh we can answer all those questions inside if you want. "Pietro said but marina noticed something
"Correction we are not look whos arriving right now"mariana said pointing something out
As right now about four atlas APCS drove toward them as they all skitted to a halt. Then the passenger quickly exited to reveal atlas spartans coming out on the scene all of them with weapons drawn appraoching them. Along with a few atlas police airships landing down infront of them as well.
But from one of them out stepped atlas own ace operatives. The first to step out was clover while behind him by his side was elm on his left with vine on his right. Along with marrow being on elm left and lastly hairett was on vine right side. They all where shocked as stepping forward also was none other than miller cho issuing out orders
"Outlaw 2-3, 2-7 song with phantom 1-3 and 1-5 get those three soldiers loaded up for a proper transport. Lord know they deserve it"miller ordered as the four nodded walking over grabbing some stretchers tending to the three dead atlas soilder bodie with respect
Though as they approached clover laughed for a moment"Well i'll be an uras uncle. Here we are to welcome you to atlas and….well seems you ran into some trouble"he said
"Along with encotunering miss. Violet"vine simply added
As right now dracona wings started to fold into her as she raised her hands with two spartans placing her in handcuffs. While they did that immediately before some knew it one of the soldier rifle bashed adam into the ground
The bull faunus groaned laying on his side before a spartan got ontop of him. Then forced him onto his back producing a pair of handcuffs slapping them on him as they laughed
"Seems we caught ourselves a dam terroist….man i don't understand why the council wants you alive"baker said in disgust as before zane knew it he was bashed across the jaw sending him to the dirt as he groaned
As none other than jules was their as she forced his hands before placing cuffs on him as well. This anger alot of them how their treating the two right now
"Hey! What the hell do you think your doing man?"perun shouted as the women scoffed at him
"Doing my job…well if it isn't the freak of nature. Always knew you where a dam…killer miss me"jules said as he growled at her recalling her
"Go fuck yourself jules…oh wait no one will miss i got a STD from having sex with her commanding ofi–"he was stopped as she pistol whiped him which caused soemone to growl at her being dawn. The grimm pet despite the cold started to shift her appearance into a large wolf like beast catching them off guard
The soldier riased their weapons at the grimm as it snarled stepping toward jules. As dawn picked her up easily by the shirt holding her in the air growling at her as the women swayed around calling out for help
"Shoot this dam thing! Its trying to eat me!"she shotued out but nadia walked forward hwislting to it
"Heel! "Nadia shouted as the grimm pet as it did before sitting all four whining as dawn still held the women by her shirt as she kept grunting trying to break free. The other were processing this as elm walked over helping the hybrid up to his feet but grabbed him by the arm staring at soem close by
"Play along right now. Their are cvilians here that may be watching gotta make it look good"elm whispered but they heard it nodding though right now with them marrow laughed slightly for a moment
"Oh man i um…uh…hey uh lady mind putting down our….teammate"marrow said but in air quotes on being her teammates. The tiger stared at him sighing before staring at the grimm whsilting to let her go. Dawn did as jule fell on the ground covered in spit growling right now
As the grimm pet shifted back into its true form. Before wiggling over up to the nearest person leg that being neo. The grimm pet whined and cried from the cold as some kept their act today
"Alright everyone load up….were heading off to meet the general. Some of you will need to ride together in the airships right now. Come on"clover ordered as they did just that
As loading into one of them was clover who rode with team RWBY, JNPR, qrow and summer joining them. With perun, zephyra, adam,lazuli,falk. miyuki joining them in their airship. With a couple of the spartans joining them in the ship. As for the second one held nadia, team ZERO, cardin, velvet,may, neo, emerald, mercury ,yumi. Eden, carmine, miller with asani as well. With a few spartans who where familiar to some.
The rest took some of the APCS to join them as they began to fly off toward atlas academy right now. Once they took off maybe after twenty minutes of flying eden looked out the window seeing several police airships flying around mantle then turned to the others
As right now undoing someone restraints was miller who seemed annoyed
"Sorry about that kid….unforutnaly baker and jules where with us. Few of the other who despise your guts where their too. Told them to let ace ops handle taking you"miller said as the hybrid rubbed his wrist then his jaw sighing
"Expected…though what i wouldn't give to punch her in the jaw again. Maybe break her wrist for being a jerk to civis"zane said getting comfortbale for now it seems as a couple spartan chuckled with one of them being jenkins and the other being merle. Who was in his spartan attire but kept avoiding his gaze the entire time right now
As other stared him down for a moment as eria rolled her eyes
"Of course your friends with them….before you ask your other soldier buddys filled us in on what happens if we talk"Eria coldly said
"Oh so we don't gotta threaten you thank god….be annoying to do that crap again right now"jenkin said as also with them was hariett who chucked for a moment shaking her head
"Yeah well glad to see you kids doing okay. Though got word from winter that her and the others will meet us at the academy. Their already their waiting for us"hariett said
"Thats great….so great"may said with a force smile because they must know what happened to the others. As they might need to tell them when they arrive to the jail. While they did dawn started to warm herself up right now
As the grimm pet was cooing and wriggling around on neo lap waving its little legs. The spartans stared at it as miller snickered at that
"Awww is that the grimm you can control kid. You can control a giant ball of snot….cute"miller cooed teasignly not seeming like some tough grunt as the pilot who were pilots began to laugh at that. While hariett chuckled even as he frowned then grinned at him
"Okay….least i didn't wear a dress to his wedding. You and winchester could be in a club…with professor port"zane cheekly said making the man blush at that as they stayed silent for a moment before rogue bursted into laughter holding her stomach as they laughed at that
Though cardin felt moritfed right now with miller right now sharing a common embarrassing moment right now
"Oh..oh are you serious man?"jenkins questioned making the boy blush as his grifliend shrugged her shoulder
"So what my boyfriend wore a dress as a punishment least i didn't run down a hall almost naked. Along with now having four girlfiend who are her…her…her..and lastly her"yumi ratted those five out making them all blush right now.
With onxyia tail beginning to wag like crazy as may slowly turned away from them. As velvet whined pulling her ears over her face with eden groaning loudly covering her face. Which made the soldier start to laugh or give threat
"Hey kid you suck for that! I lost 500 lien betting on you only getting one….i have to pay wukong now!"a pilot shouted up front
"Ohhh right yeah you suck for that kid. Because now i had to pay five of the spartans for my bet. Thinking you were into dudes"jenkin said in complete annoyance as carmine chuckled at that
"Well i uh….yes this is by far very strange. Though still you should all make introductions right now"carmine said as miller cracked his back then rolled his shoulder giving a salute to the group
"Well if i gotta say my name again. Names miller cho or by my rank captain cho, along with my nickname since my face is messed up scarface"miller said confusing them for a moment
"What you messed up or something under that mask"nadia joked as the man removed his mask to reveal his scarred face as the women retracted her statement right now
"Ughhh that look like it hurt alot"rogue commented
"Oh it did but hey i'm still kicking thanks to someone."miller siad meaning the the hybrid. But then the man frantically grabbed his scroll trying to do something but carmine snatched it up pocketing it as he whined
"Come on i wanna tell her…please…please….please"miller begged right now as the women stared him down
"We don't need you being gushy over your daughter right now. She can say hi when you and diaz have a talk with her. Because she'll let it slip like she did like last time and almost got in trouble. Hunter cover for her lcukily"carmine stated
"Uhhh who is he talking about right now?"onxyia questioned making the soldiers in the ship stare at her for a moment. As they didn't like the staring their getting but then merle spoke up
"Huh so you got dual traits too…funny that what like….three i've met in my life…wait no four""merle said as this was a shock to her as miller looked surprised chcukling
"Well isn't this cute….you bagged a girl with dual traits just like my little girl. Awww this is cute"he cooed teasing him as he growled going into his porlwer form as his tail whipped around pointing the bladed tip at his face
"Cho…i swear to god if you embarrass me right now your going to get that smug look torn off your face"he snarled snapping his jaw as carmine was amazed to see him remsbel a beowulf with merle interest being peeked.
But may bonked him on the head making him molt it as she rolled her one good eye
"Shut up….okay we get it you know them. Because bun over here looks she on the verge of tears. Look at her camera"may pointed out as velvet was holding her camera that she spent so much time on making right now as she had tears starting to form
"I spent so much time on it…now…now its desotry"velvet said about to start crying which dawn sensed. As the grimm pet shifted its appearance into small little bear cub with black fur with a white mask. Then it crawled its way over to her roaring a little
The rabbit picked her up hugging her to comfort her for the tragic demise of her camera. As the rabbit was upset since she spent so much time making her camera and now she'll have to spend a long time fixing it now.
"Oh….man that sucks hey maybe we could all chip in and fix it. I mean the parts for atlas have to be here. Along with fixing remorse"rogue said
"Correction you mean remorse and these two"jenkin said pulling up mercy revealing them to be desotyred with the metal warped down close to the handle catching her offguard they were desotyred
"Thats just great our gear got busted….i hate this place already now"Cardin commneted
"Come on it can't be that bad. I mean…could be in prison right now"nadia said as they stared at her for saying that. As eria began to pound her fist onto the women several times
"You idiot! You probably just jixned us and now where heading to some blacks ops prison!"eria shotued in complete annoyance to other amusement right now. Though as they sat in the airship right now miller started to clear his throat a bunch of times.
"Hey you good over here got a frog suck in your throat or someting?"cardin asked as he cleared his throat again confusing them
"Okay are you sick or something if you need a throat lasauge their might be one in my pouch"velvet said as they stared at her
"Do you really have that in your pouches"eria questioned as the rabbit nodded
"Someone has to carry the medical suppiles in our group"velvet replied but miller cleared his throat again before jabbing merle in the side as he winced at that
"Cho what the hell man"merle replied as other backed him up
"Ohhhh we don't know mr i've been a complete a-hole for the last eight years"jenkins rudely said confusing them
"Yeah mr. i lied to a little kid for eight years…that guy"miller said pointing at the hybrid in their airship as zane felt very confused
'Huh?"he replied
Though the soldier sighed as he did something right now activating his semblance. Before suddenly a dark green organic material crawled up his body to their shock right now. As it covered his entire appernace while his arms soon had something emerged where his elbows where. That being a pair of sharp claws resembling a pair of praying mantis claws. As his face slightly morphed to reveal a pilot helemt in place with the deep blue visor
They where silent for a moment as their jaws all dropped seeing this right now.
"Uhhhh what the heck this guy just activated your semblance"neo sighed as some translated for her real quick.
"Oh um well uh…um my last name was richards but my real name is uh merle….graves"merle hesitated staring at his family member right now who stared him down. As zane was stunned seeing A. a soldier he knew and talked to be his family. B. he was pissed off
Zane roared in rage jumping ontop of the man beginning to shake him all over the place right now
"You prick! I always kept saying how i wanted to meet my family…..but you where right next to me the entrie time! What the fuck! You are a compelte prick!"he shouted in rage shaking him as the man felt dizzy before miller pushed him off as the hybrid stared at his actually family molting his armor off shaking his head
"Jerk of the year award goes to this guy. Man your a prick"mercury commented
"I agree….what type of person just lies to their own family. What you gonna tell us their are more of you here"may joked as she was half right
"Uhhhhh actually yeah….their would be uh cousin pana along with her family. Theirs mine…and ryker….choka….fin…thompson….darly who is my younger brother….amilee…uhhh who else. How many of us are their…oh right like thirty four of us here"merle said making them all stare him down as nadia reached over bonking him on the head as he winced heavily
"Oh so his other aunt is here….but lets all get comfy. Because i need to prepare when we meet the mighty jimmy ironwood"nadia said with sarcasm as they laughed for a bit having some casually conversation to pass the time.
But they hoped the others are having a better time, though right now the soldiers kept staring down adam the entire time. As he was still in his handcuffs right now as lazuli kept very close to him. While ruby stared out the window amazed by the sight of the kingdom
"Ummm mr…um…uh"ruby didn't know his name
"Kid names clover ebi…surprised your uncle here didn't tell me about you. The opposite of his bad luck"Clover said cokingly as qrow rolled his eyes
"My luck isn't that bad"qrow said leaning back but this resulted in him hitting his head on a metal bar behind him. Then he stared at clover with a look as he scoffed at him for even that look
"Ha! Guess he;s got you their uncle…though oh boy should we just say it"yang commented making them confused
"That would be what blondie"a spartan asked
"Oh you mean how in reality that ruby father technically would be him along with her mom. Since the two of them lied to her to protect her from his bad luck. Along with them being husband and wife"nora quickly said with a grin
This made them pause for a moment as even the co pilot upfront over heard that confused. With clover having a puzzled face staring at qrow who looked uanmzued along with summer as he saw the similarities.
"Well….here i thought your sister was in a little polymary relationship. But instead you aint…though someone owes me some lien"clover said as close by was sarah who scoffed at him
"Never gonna happen ebi….i already owe bon. though…."She paused staring at falk which they noticed confused
"Why are you staring at weiss boyfriend?"perun questioned making them silent for a moment as the heiress went flush red at her tail wagged under her coat. While falk blushed before staring at the women before groanign
"Nooooo! Get me out of here right now i don't wanna be trapped in here with her"he groaned loudly as the women laughed that he recognized her
"Awww but your my big brother only son. I wonder if pyke was telling the truth when he got back….but you bagged the heiress to the schnee throne"Sarah cooed pulling her mask up reaching over poking her nephew in the face
"Do you let all your military soilders do this"zephyra asked annoyed
"Eh let her mess with her nephew for a bit. God know the general probably already contacted your mom kid. Winter should be waiting for us at the academy"Clover said peeking some of their interest right now
"Wait…where going to atlas academy?"jaune questioned excited actually
"Ohhhh that will be fun. We haven't visited shade academy which is next on our list"nora added excited but internally clover laugh because their was alot more at that academy than the general. But he swapped glances toward tarrus for a moment staring him down
"So….the big bad terroist leader of the white fang. Better pray the general doesn't lock you up in a damp cell with no light source"he warned but that made some of them speak up
"Actually i'm pretty sure you won't do that. Because….he was very beneficial in the defence of havan academy"weiss commented annoyed now
"Yeah besides i owe the guy for saving my butt back in the anima. Well after i uh….put the wendigo down"yang added making some impressed hearing that as blake crossed her arms staring the soldier down for her old friend
"Along with that hes put down a grimm knight who…welll….ummm…"she paused as her ears flopped slightly as clover glanced at qrow. As the man soften his gaze with a slight glare across his face
"Yeah….i might punch james when i get their. Didn't tell me my friend when i was kid was one of them. Her own daughter watched her die….again"qrow said with venom as to some surprise the man soften hsi gaze sighing rubbing his eyes
"Dam….doc knows about that but will be heartbroken. Though be prepared for when we arrive okay. Where here"clover said as they arrived at their destination
The airships where landing with their passenger all stepping off right now. As already waiting for them was winter with her gorup. While emei was holding her son bazz close in her arms eyeing the soldiers around her scared right now. With carmen standing away from whitley as a precaution. But their was bonnet sitting on the airship they where on looking at the ground. With paddy by her side as their was also artemis who greet them
"Well its nice to see you all arrive right now. Though i'm artemis cherry commanding officer of our special regiment. Which we can inform you later on"artemis politely introduced
"Don't worry commander seems bon and the other told them already. Save you the trouble"miller said with a salute as the women shook her head sighing as she had questions on that
"Actually on the remainder of your unit. Where is harper, alexa, jill, nate along with jamal. I though this made them all quiet right now on the fate of those soldiers right now
"Yeah where the heck is harp…i owe him money for that bet him and wukong over here made"jenkin asked
Hariett then looked over at her girlfriend but noticed something. That being bonnet holding something close to her chest as she stared at the airship. Walking over she took a closer look inside before going wide eyed at the amount of caskets inside right now. Their where about eight as she shook her head
"No…no…bon…bon…why are their eight caskets in the ship?"hariett questioned getting their attention as artemis slightly went wide eyed. Immediately some of the spartans walked over going wide eyed them as some of them rushed inside of
The others watched as they began to bring them out with some gravity dust devices attached to them. They hovered them out as they set them out which just made alot of the soldiers here freeze in place right now. Marrow looked at the casket in shock right now
"Bon….bon what the hell…this better be one of your jokes. I'm not laughing…this isn't funny"marrow growled at his tail thrashed with tears slowly breaking through
The dual traited fuanus shook right now slowly bringing up what she had in her hands. That being about six dog tags in her hand as it completely stunned them right now. Immediately sarah dropped her weapon to the ground as she hugged herself
"No…no…no"she said over and over again sliding down hugging herself right now. With a few of the spartans looking stunned surprising blake noticing some on the verge of tears wondering if most atleisna aren't so heartless.
Marrow walked over taking the dog tags in hand as he just heard his old bunkmate from his days training in the military is gone. Along with that he died as he stood their staring at them as tears slowly formed in his eyes.
One began to slide down his chek as he growled clenching his fist before punching a nearby wall hard. It shocked them that was his reaction as he felt immense pain but he didn't care as he stared at his bloody knuckles seething in absolute rage right now as he punched the wall again with his other hand harder. As he began to punch it in rage.
"God dammit…dammit….dammit…dammit!"marrow shouted punching the wall even hardener as he winced in pain as blood dripped from his hands.
"Amin calm down now!"miller shouted but as he placed hand on his shoulder he threw it off socking him in the face sending him to the dirt
"Fuck you! I just heard my dam best friend i knew since i was a kid is dead!"marrow shouted with tears running down his face right now. Immediately clover forced him to sit down before handing him off to elm who sat down next to him hugging him
The man sighed rubbing his eyes shaking his head"schnee….what the hell happened. What happened to them"he asked as it got quiet for a moment as she looked away
"We….we recovered hargreaves body like requested. Then when we were on the move unfortunately we ran into the manticore knight. On the argus limit jill…lost her life due to her injuries. Then it was nate who died from the cold. After that…from what i…uh heard"winter paused swallowing hard as she continued
"That uh….the faunus known as ollie weaver threw alexa off a radio tower. Then jamal had his neck snapped by the subject beta. After that it would be harper…he…managed to kill the subject but at the cost of his life. But it didn't matter since he would be dead within a week"she finsihed but this cuaght them offguard
"Schnee…schnee what the hell do you mean by him being dead within a week?"miller asked with tears on his face as bonnet sniffed with hariett consoling her right now as the faunus choked on a sob.
Paddy sighed"harper lied about his visit to the doctor. The poor bastard had lung cancer…he…"he paused which caught them offguard causing marrow to break down crying to their surprise seeing these harden soldier acting like this
Mariana as their looking away sighing"artemis i'll talk to james….calm them down now. God guess where having a funeral this week"she said as the commander nodded leaving all the soldiers outside.
Once inside they took an elevator up as they waited for a while to arrive. As after some time they arrived at a hallaway with guards their on standby. But they walked down the hallway toward the headmaster office as he seemed to be talking to someone
"That could have gone better. If we have to go through another council meeting like that. I'll cut my ears off"a female voice said on the other side
"Agreed. Though i'm sure that mrs. schnee will be happy to hear her children as here safe and sound"a male but familiar voice spoke up
But then the doors to the office was opened as it revealed some familiar face. Already their was penny sitting in a chair along with a certain doctor also known as merlot. Their was also robyn hill of all people here with pietro. Lastly their was also james ironwood but he wore something different
That being he wore a blue collared shirt and red tie along with a white coat with dark blue cuffs, dark blue and red accents and silver buttons. He wore a white long sleeved double breasted jacket over the shirt, with two dark bleu belts one across this chest, the other around his waist. He also sported dark blue pants tucked into a pair of dark blue calf high boots with red lining and large cuffs alongside silver steel toe and heel palting. He also sported a pair of white gloves
"Well well look what the cat dragged in"robyn joked seeing the detective who stared at her
"The hell are you doing here hill?"nancy asked as the women hands shimmered for a moment confusing them
"Uhhh why did you do that with your hand?"neo sighed but realzied they might not understand her. Though merlot chcukeld stepping forward because he knew ASL
"Ah young lady its quite simply. Miss hill here has a very unique semblance because hers tell if someone is lying or not. Main reason she joined us today is for well to see what his itnentions are."merlot said surprising them
Without a word adam walked forward still in cuffs as he offered a hand to the women staring her down
"Lets get this over with if you plan to put me in a prison cell or excute me. I rather it be quick"Adam said not even phazed by it. Robyn slightly taken aback by his words as she grasped in hand as her aura shimmered around her right now. As they stayed silent for a moment she thought of a question
"Why did you assist in the defence of havan academy? Along with that rumors went around of you leaving the fang. You here to cause us trouble since you had the chance to kill three schnee"robyn said as the bull faunus thought his answer carefully as he sighed
"I left the fang on my own accord. After i heard my…ollie give an order out to execute anyone who left. It bothered me so after the fall of beacon i left and stayed in the anima for a month in isolation. Along the way i ran into some of them when their ship crashed. After that we arrived at the branwhen camp and…"he paused for a moment exhaling
"I had to put a women out of her misery…the lancer knight right infront of her own daughter"he continued as his hand shimmered green shocking them right now as carmine looked down upset with her wife consoling her as merlot looked frustrated right now
"What about havan? Why are you here?"robyn asked again as he stayed silent giving her his answer
"I…wanted to stop the people invovled in the attack on havan. Along with dismantling the white fang and bringing up a new age for the faunus people. I….regret my actions deeply and if i need to pay for my crimes so be it. You can lock me up…put me on some public execution if you want. But I want to help put a stop to the people involved in the attacks on the academies. To make up for my sins"he finished
As they waited for the verdict on her semblance it just kept glowing bright green the entire time. This shocked her epesiclaly the others in the room as even the general himself was surprised. They waited for the verdict as the man collapsed his hands together
"You know. I'd like nothing more than to just execute you right here and now"ironwood said pausing standing up making them nervous. But the man instead produced a key unlocking the faunus handcuffs to his shock as he returned to his desk
"James….you good? Your acting pretty weird right now"qrow pointed out as the general sat back down staring at him with a serious look
"I'm quite alright qrow. Though from what i'm gathering we have a potential allie right now. I've discussed it before with the other council members on what to do when you arrive here along with subject omega. But seems that coucnilwomen hill can vouched for you wanting to turn over a new leaf right now"ironwood said to their surprise
"For once i agree with you….god dam…i'm stumped. So where is this grimm that has silver eyes"robyn asked surprising them that she knew about that
"Wait…she knows?"winter questioend surprised as the general nodded
"Along with the rest of the council. Since the kind doctor here revealed what it was. I'd like to…talk to it"ironwood said as zane stepped forward but he stayed silent staring him down as he spoke up
"I aint letting that little parasite take control right now. Hes pissed me off right now"zane growled srurpsing them for a moment
"Excuse me…last time when i saw you. You two where quite well together"merlot qeustioned as a voice spoke in his head
"Kid just give me control….makes this hell of a lot easier"bane said in his head as he thought about it scoffing
"Fine…take control…try anything else and i'll dig you out of my spine myself. "Zane spat as soon enough he felt the tendrils around his brain. Then he closed his eyes before opening them to reveal crimson making the general placed his revolver on the table keeping an eye on him. With robyn surprised as bane examiend his hand for a moment but noticed the other staring him down
"What? Why are you glaring at me?"bane smugly asked
"Ohhh i don't know mr i tried to make my boyfriend kill someone."Velvet rudely said making carmine stare at the parasite inside the boy as she even narrowed her gaze
"Excuse me? Did…did you force a child to kill someone you little…i knew you where trouble. All of you dam chimera are"carmine said with venom as bane rolled his eyes at her scoffing
"I have a name….its bane. Even though my host killed tau and that new one. Unfortunatly good old beta didn't die by my hands….i wanted to teach him and the rest of them a lesson"bane said but this made the general stay silent for a moment hearing another one of the knights of grimm where dead. The officer stood up with a surprised look
"Another one is dead?"ironwood asked
"Ummm uh…um t-two…i…um…ollie weaver…became one and i um….ki…"onxyia didn't finish as blake conosled her right now as the wolf felt disgusted for some reason for killing him. But ironwood walked over behind the hybrid as he hesaintly lifted his shirt up.
As it revealed his back with the other staring in shock. Because right their on a grimm where a pair of silver eyes as it hissed at them
"Okay thats not nasty….ughhh that grimm looks ugly. Any other news you wanna share with us"robyn asked
"Well we have impotant for james…becauses it's…nice to see you again after a long time"Summer said stepping forward as the general looked surprised to see her right now in the flesh actually. Merlot looked stunned himself as robyn was surprised. The man stared at her for a moment as he smiled
"Its nice to see you again as well miss rose. Though seems the good doctors theory was correct on it being harmless…it seems. Seems that why ozpin wanted you alive of course he knew. He always did"ironwood said suddenly as bane released control for his host to be nice
But qrow went wide eyed sharing a look with winter who was surprised herself
"Wait…james they….do they know?"winter asked as her commanding officer nodded
"Of course i did. If we needed to have a plan after the successful rescue of two people infested by those parasite. Thanks to peitro and merlot developing collars to nullify the parasites influence inside their head"ironwood said as maria hummed with a hopeful gaze
"So…you mean my old student wu can be normal?"maria questioned
Merlot blinked for a moment"you knew wu shui"he asked as he noticed summer who had a hopeful gaze as the man figured out they knew him
"Ah so you know of him….if you've seen miss violet. She is quiet docile now…right now where working on figuring out a way to find any weakness in the grimm knights. Along with rescuing the captives"merlot explained
"Wait…you can save wu?"nora asked excited but slinked down speaking out of turn as ironwood continued
"I can see some of you know him. But i needed people i trusted and well my ace ops know about this. Along with the good doctors along with miss hill here. Because unlike some of the council i rather not let them know not even macvtasih or artemis knows about this. Keep it between us. Because…"he paused eyeing something
That being the relic on ruby hip as she held it close to her right now
"What about the atlas relic?"She asked
"The staff of creation is safely hidden in the vault. Along with the key being in our possession"ironwood said walking over to the bookshelf activaitng the same mechanism. As it opened to their shock as he stepped inside emerging with something. That being the snowflake kept in a glass case
Though as he brought it out something happened in miyuki right now. As her maiden power activated with two bright blue flames covering her eyes revealing who she was. The general immediately noticed her eyes as did everyone elese. But he also stared at qrow who chuckled
"Yeah uhh found someone to help us open the fault"qrow said in confidence as the general seemed very happy right now
'And now today you've made me happy. Shocker but i'm sure you've seen what we've done now"ironwood said
"You mean recalling the military. Along with an emabrgo and now a curfew. What the heck is going on sir? Why are you doing this"winter questioned as robyn scoffed
"Because we got those talon mercs inside the borders. We established the curfew to protect my people…the people of mantle don't have the luxury of being safe from those grimm attacks. But hearing more are dead means where winning"robyn said in confience
"Yes and since you all may know of salem existence. I need you to trust us that we have a plan"ironwood said pressing a button. Shutters came down on the windows darkenignt he room. As in the center the floor bearing the atlas emblem began to rise up as some stepped off it. Then the emblem turned into a table
"Ozpin believe the best way to fight salem was do it in secret. Weather that is the right choice or not isnt for me to say. But we need a new approach"he started
"What exactly do you suggest?"summer aksed then he pressed a button on a remote as it dsiaplyed something amity colosseum which hovered above the table
"Wait amity colosseum…why are you sowing us this?"zephyr asked
"Because when beacon fell and everyone on remnant lost contact with one another. Because of th…"he paused on his words staring at the hybrid in the room who looked away
"Already feel guilty for what i did…shocker i didn't just blow my dam brains out that day. Yeah"he said in a bleak tone still mad at bane. But carmine smacked him upside the head as he rubbed the spot she hit
"Where talking about that at some point. But i've discussed it with james along with peitro, merlot and will. We've need to gather everyone we can for something that brings everyone together"Carmine said as the hologram then showed the colosseum with an antenna on it
"We plan to replace beacon tower. But now just building a new tower for beacon but to re-establish global communication without the use of deep range transmitters. We plan to launch it high enough so grimm can't reach it if we even lose more towers"merlot expertly explained
"Thats…amazing"eria commented
"Yeah….wait a minute then why bring your entire military here. Because if their all here why?"yumi questioned
"Becasue we plan to tell the world about salem"ironwood announced stunning them right now upon hearing that. As something inside summer snap as she walked forward grabbign him by the collar bringing him down
"Are you mad! Are you planning to use that blasted cololseeum to make a message known to everyone! That…that witch exist! No one should know about her…no on!"summer shouted in rage as her eyes flashed sliver slightly scaring some but qrow walked over gently taking her off him to calm down as others had opinion
"Okay no offense are you insane?"cardin question
"Hes right because….that many grimm would overwhelm the place"rogue agreed with but they actually had a plan
"Which is why we plan to retrofit atlas to support the people of mantle as well. Because me and him talked, well when we do it we plan to evacuate the citizens of atlas here with the use of the relic"robyn said surprising them right now
"Wait…as in…your going to leave…people behind so you can save your own kingdom"emerlad rudely asked
"No…no. Look if we want to make this work…you have the relic of knowledge. Which means we need the remaining two. We could…build a defense in vacuo and take the two relics before they do anything with them"carmine replied surprising them as they actually had the same plan
"Well…great mind think alike. We…actually already are doing that…we told several others to prepare vacuo for an attack. Because before we continue….we saw a new bulletin on someone"henry said as the general got quiet for a moment before robyn chuckled into a laugh for a moment
"Oh my god willow blew up on him….oh…uh…though uh…"She paused staring at whiley and weiss as the heiress sighed rubbing her arms
"So….everyone knows their going to be divorced. I'm happy now"weiss said with a smile
"You know what we can discuss that later….because oh boy this is a bombshell"mairna added
"Yes though….oz did spend his life hiding his secrets. His many lives"qrow added
"Well wihtout him here to guide us all i can do is have my best judgement. Along with meeting some old allies of his….someone your familiar with "ironwood siad surprising them that he met some gravekeepers heres
"You…you met the gravekeepers?"may asked to their surprise they've met them
"Oh so you've met them before….because well i…surprised to see your semblance be inherited. Along with hearing your something known as an archangel kid"mariana said as he frowned at they know that. Though qrow stared at oscar for a moment which ironwood noticed but noticed the cane on his hip going wid eyed
"Oz? Your…your alive?"ironwood asked stunning them as he approached him getting on his level right now
"Old friend your….you've reincarnated we.."he was stopped
"No…he…hes sort of gone right now at the moment"oscar said as the general smile fades
"What do you mean by gone? That shouldn't happen what–"he was stopped
"We…we got in a fight with him well him and…after a train crash he was just gone. We asked him some questions though"ruby said
"That…might be the worst news i heard yet along with the best. But did you learn something from him"he asked
'That the lamp only got one question left…we don't know the password. Blame me for being an idiot…seems my family hated his guts since…the wendigo was my ancestor. He was the first grimm hybrid..she turned him into a monster…she planned to do it to me"zane answered
This made the general sigh rubbing his face"its…fine it seems i was too brash on my decisions long ago. That why he wanted you alive…though we at least have you oscar along with the maiden. Your all safe in atlas we can work together to maybe bring him back. "Ironwood said
"I uh thank you sir i mean general i mea uh…"oscar awkwardly stopped. Then he eyed the relic with ruby announcing something
"Miss rose i suggest you keep a hold of that for the time being. Though we need to work together to fight salem. Though miss hill take them out and have them shown to their quarters please"ironwood said as she smiled nodding to him as they left the man to his vices. As he inhaled deeply hoping for the best right now
With that we close off the chapter with the general having the same plan in cannon. Though i'm saving my twist instead of him just turning bad. You'll have to see near the end of this volume. Thanks for reading!
