Wonder Woman 2017 Part 5
We meet the rest of the cast that will be helping Pyrrha.
Disclaimers: I own nothing
Jaune and Pyrrha finally arrive, well Pyrrha follows Jaune into the assembly hall, where an unruly group of men, military leaders, members of parliament, even Republic Officers too shout down at none other than Ozpin with his familiar Cane at his side. Pyrrha gazes across the hall like a tourist.
"Professor Ozpin?" Ruby said.
"He's addressed as Sir Ozpin", Hakaze said.
"Sir Ozpin huh?" Salem commented and looks at her former husband while her daughters stay close to her.
"I've seen this kind of talking in a war rooms many times", James remembers all that loud talk in a war room.
"Stay here", Jaune said and Pyrrha nods, but then she proceeds to follow Jaune down the aisle, running her hand across the rows of chairs, nodding and smiling to the dumfounded men starting at her which quiets them down and Ozpin can say his speech.
"Gentlemen! Atlas is a proud Kingdom who will never surrender wile align with the CIS. The only way to end this war and restore peace in Remnant is to negotiate an armistices", despite what Ozpin says, there are objections to that.
"The CIS won't accept that, even James Ironwood won't", Hakaze said and the audience can tell.
"Colonel", Jaune urgently whisper to Colonel Peter Port who turns in amaze to see Jaune alive.
Then Jaune nods toward the door and realize the room has gone silent, because everyone has their eyes on Pyrrha.
"Our only aum at this moment must be to achieve peace at any cost", Ozpin said while somewhat distracted by Pyrrha's presents in the war room, the crowd grumbles again about Pyrrha as much as Ozpin's rhetoric and Jaune leads Pyrrha outside.
"Gentlemen, I beg you please if you'll just hear me out", Ozpin said to everyone.
"Why will they not let him speak? He's talking peace", Pyrrha wonders and said that Ozpin is talking peace.
"That's why they won't let him speak", Jaune answers the question.
"But they want to stop this war, isn't that foolish? Are they all fools?" Pyrrha ask more questions.
"No, but most of them", Jaune answers, but some are really fools.
"Pyrrha's appearances did make everybody quiet and yet it's hard to achieve peace", Peter said but he's surprises to find himself as a Military Colonel.
"Well at least they hear me out", Ozpin said.
At the lobby, an agitated and embarrassed Colonel Port makes his way to Jaune and Pyrrha, glancing at others watching him. "Arc?! What the Remnant where you thinking bringing a woman into the council chamber?" Peter ask him while Pyrrha looks at Jaune indignant and he hold his hand up calming Pyrrha.
"Sorry sir, but the intel I've brought back is very time sensitive. We were attacked by Atlas Agents looking for it on the way here. One of Ilia's Notebooks, we need to get it to Cryptography and I need immediate audiences with the Generals and Officers of the Galactic Republic too.
"You don't rush here and the Cryptography takes time", Peter then gets interrupted by Ozpin.
"Captain Jaune Arc!" Opzin emerges from the auditorium, making us way over the threesome, some are weirded out by the way Ozpin is walking which made them wonder if has a bad leg.
"You got a bad leg sir?" Glynda ask him.
"Perhaps that's the main reason why I walk like that", Ozpin said, but later in the film they will all see something in mind.
"I'd heard you were lost on one of your missions, yet here you are. And you brought a friend", Ozpin smiles sweetly at Pyrrha who smile back noticing his cane.
"Our deepest apologies for the interruption sir", Peter apologies for that.
"Nonsenses, thanks to this young woman, the room was finally quiet enough for me to get a few words in", Ozpin had his chance to say some words thanks to Pyrrha.
"Sir Ozpin, at your service", Ozpin introduce himself to Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha, Princess of-", Pyrrha gets cut off by Jaune.
"Pyrrha Nikos, me and her work together, Pyrrha helped be get this notebook here, from Ilia's lab", Jaune presents the notebook to Ozpin who takes it, understanding the implications immediately.
"I guess it would be awkward or unbelievable if Pyrrha openly reveal she is a Princess of the Amazons", Jaune took a guess on how they are going to react if he allowed Pyrrha to reveal she is the Princess of the Amazons whatsoever.
"And knowledge of the Amazons are just a thing of the past as well", Ozpin said his point.
"Doctor Poison herself? My Oum", Ozpin then turns to Peter.
"I suggest we assemble the war cabinet so they can tell us more", Peter at first hesitates but nods, Jaune and Pyrrha are grateful for the assist.
"Looks like will know what's in that notebook", Winter said.
"And what secrets does it carry on it", James said next.
"Well we are going to see what James and Ilia are up to again", Hakaze for the coming scene.
We are back in another laboratory of Ilia that's located elsewhere, Ilia is trying more of her gas weapons. She turns a valve on it, adjusting the pressure, she screws the canister onto the side of a small glass chamber containing a gas mask. She locks the canister in place, then releases the gas into the chamber. James and Ilia watch as the new gas hisses in, creeping toward the gas mask, enveloping it. What happened next is the gas mask disintegrates with the gas cracks in the glass, wear on the straps, corrosive on the metal, this horrified most of the audiences after seeing what happened to the gas mask. What happened next is the glass chamber starts to crack as well.
"Congratulations, Doctor", James said as Ilia grins.
"Looks like Ilia has perfected the poison and anything that was supposed to protect anyone from anything hazards is going to be useless", Sienna said after seeing what the poison gas can do.
"Even Clone Trooper Armor won't help", Hakaze said that even Clone Trooper Armor are useless against it. "But Battle Droids are safe from it", Hakaze reveals that the gas is harmless against Battle Droids.
In the War Officer/Room later, Jaune, Pyrrha, Peter with Republic Supreme Leader Hakaze Kusaribe and some in the Vale War Cabinet crowd in a room, walls full of maps and photos of Ironwood and Ilia which some before Ilia got disfigured and the notebook, in the center is a terrain map. Pyrrha stands near the door watching, listening, she walks to the wall of photographs.
"Cryptographers had no luck. It seems like a mixture of 2 languages", Peter said that they can't translate what's on the notebook due to 2 different languages.
"2 languages shouldn't be a problem for Pyrrha", Nora knows that Pyrrha can translate any language.
"Amazon thing and stuff", Blake said.
"Then they can rely on her from translation", Ruby said while feeding on a cookie.
"Nice to see you on screen now Hakaze", Pyrrha said.
Pyrrha hones in on the photos of Ironwood, even examining the pins holding them to the board, then looks at the notes. "It's ancient Vacuo and Mistral", Pyrrha said which catches everyone's attention. "Surely someone else in this room knew that", Pyrrha said in sincere.
"And who is this woman?" Hakaze ask Jaune since she came in with him.
"She's my... secretary", Jaune said but the audiences finds that awkward, even Pyrrha on screen doesn't like being called one thanks to what she thought with Coco.
"Well telling everyone that I'm Amazon might be hard to believe", Pyrrha explains why Jaune would say she is his secretary
"So she speak ancient Vacuo and Mistral?" Hakaze ask if she can speak but she can thanks her Amazon attributes.
"She's very good", Jaune said.
"Well she can read it, let's hear what she is has to say", Peter said reluctant but practical and everyone agrees they let Pyrrha translated.
"Thank you", Pyrrha starts reading and translating what it says. "It's a formula for a new kind of mustard gas, hydrogen-based, instead of sulfur", Pyrrha translates many of it as she can.
"Gas masks would be useless against hydrogen", Peter said knowing the gas will eat right through their protected gas masks.
"They plan release this gas at the front", Pyrrha said but unsure what that means and Jaune gets alarm by that.
"Supreme Leader Hakaze, you have to find out where they're making this gas and burn it to the ground to destroy it", Jaune ask Hakaze to located and destroy it.
"Ironwood was last seen in CIS Control territory", Peter said which means something, "we can't be seen sending our Troops and Republic Troops when we can negotiated their surrender", Peter said knowing they can try to get Atlas to surrender which something that CIS will not do.
"Surrender? Atlas can do that but the CIS won't", James mentions the facts about Atlas and the CIS, one will surrender and the other won't.
"Even your counterpart isn't going to give up", Ozpin mentions but everyone believes James might be Ares.
"Sir, I saw this gas with my own eyes. All the men and Clone Troopers on the front line could die on all sides unless you stop them", Jaune protest but Peter isn't going to budge.
"That's what soldiers do Captain", Peter said much to Pyrrha's shock by the callousness, Ozpin looks at her apologetically and Hakaze feels the same. "What would you have us do?"
"Pull our troops and Republic Troops out of the front. Send me in with some support, I could take Ironwood and his operation down myself", Jaune suggest he goes in himself and finish it all.
"Are you insane? I can't get rogue elements this late into the game", Peter still won't allow it.
"But Colonel", but before Jaune can argue any further, Ozpin speaks up.
"Now more than ever, the armistice is of paramount importance, we must get it negotiated and signed by both Atlas and the CIS. That is the surest way on ending the war."
"You will do nothing Captain, that's final and an order", Peter said and it's final, Pyrrha on the other hand is expecting that Jaune will defy Peter Port just like she defied her mother.
"Yes I understand", well Jaune won't deify Peter which causes Pyrrha to blink in confusion, astonished and disappointed.
"Ah oh! Pyrrha is going to rant about this", Nora said after seeing where this is going.
"They don't get the fact someone like my counterpart isn't going for the armistice if he is really Ares, he will just unleashed the poison while everyone's guard is down", James said next, knowing the gas will be unleashed once everyone's guard is down and assuming his counterpart is really Ares.
"Please don't lose your temper Pyrrha", Pelina said to her daughter.
"At least let's hear what she has to say", Sam said to his wife.
"I don't", Pyrrha said and Jaune looks at her.
"I know it's confusing", Jaune but that's not what Pyrrha is ranting about.
"It's not confusing, it's unthinkable", Pyrrha is now ranting what she want to say now.
"You would sacrifice all those lives? Do they mean less than yours? Where I come from, high ranking officers don't hide in their offices like cowards. They fight alongside their soldiers and they with them on the battlefield!" Pyrrha rants everything that her home wouldn't do such a thing.
"Pyrrha enough", Jaune tries to get Pyrrha to calm down but not gonna happen.
"You should be ashamed! All of you!" Pyrrha then storms out in anger while Jaune and Ozpin exchanged a look before he follows Pyrrha.
"Perhaps Ozpin can help", Qrow said after seeing that exchanged look with him and Jaune.
"And what would he have in mind?" Glynda wonders what would Ozpin do to help.
"Maybe I give some help to Mr. Arc on helping him and Pyrrha deal with the poison and Ares", Ozpin took a guess.
"I agree with you on that, because in the case of Ares, he won't agree with the armistice", James said knowing they will have to go against orders when it comes to Ares.
"An Amazon like her isn't the type of person who would want to standby and do nothing", Adam commented while Hakaze glares at him.
"Pyrrha wait!" Jaune manage to catch up with her.
"That's your leader? How could he just say that? Believe that?" Pyrrha then points at Jaune, "and you! Was it your duty to simply give them that book? You didn't stand your ground! You didn't fight!"
"Because there was no chance of changing his mind!" Jaune said nothing will make them change their mind.
"This is Ares we are talking about! He isn't going to allow a negotiation or a surrender. Millions of people you talked about are all going to die and my people will be next!" Pyrrha retorts and reminds him, everyone agrees that Ares isn't going to stop.
"True, Ares is a the God of War and he isn't going to stop", Salem points out that Ares will never quit.
"Very true mistress", Cinder agrees with her.
"How can you call yourselves good men?!"
"Pyrrha, I'm a spy. That's what we do, now are you coming or not?" Jaune is talking taking matters on his hand which means stopping Ironwood, Ilia and preventing that gas from being unleashed.
"How do I know your not lying to me right now?" Pyrrha unconvinced which causes Jaune to get the Lasso of Truth and wrap it around his wrist and look right in her eyes.
"I'm taking you to the front", Jaune speaks the truth, "and we're probably going to die", Jaune speaks out more but was surprise by that last part, plus Pyrrha is completely skeptical.
"You have no faith in yourself", Pyrrha said, most in the audiences laugh at the comment.
"I'm sorry!"
"We are going anyway!" Jaune speaks that out, "this is a terrible idea", Jaune let go of the lasso and somewhat frustrated. "If we are going to get to the front on our own, we need reinforcements.
"Take matters on their own hands, well it needs to be done", Winter said knowing the villains really needs to be stopped.
"But they need help on this", Maria said that a companion is needed for this journey.
"Alright!" Ruby cheered.
"Easy Ruby, next up is Jaune and Pyrrha will meet up with the companions that will join them in their mission", Hakaze tells them the coming scenes.
Jaune and Pyrrha enters a shady pub, Pyrrha squints, she doesn't like the look of this place. Pyrrha follows Jaune into the seedy, dimly-lit pub, she gets a look at it's rough 'n tumble clientele and frowns.
"Pub? How do Jaune expect find the companions in a pub?" Winter wonders while stares at Qrow knowing this he would be and hang out most of the times.
"Because these companions would most of the times hang out in a pub", Hakaze answers her questions.
"These are the companions? Are these even good men?" Pyrrha ask not like taste of the pub.
"Relatively good", Jaune answer but Pyrrha doesn't get it.
Jaune and Pyrrha moves behind a group of officers, out slumming. One of them is Flynt Coal who busy speaking out some random things, "hey Flynt", Jaune says greets him and the officers leave.
"Oh, so I'm one of the companions in this", Flynt said knowing he will be joining them.
"But your not the only one", Neon said knowing there will be more than just him in it.
"Heya Jaune", Flynt greeted him before turning to Pyrrha.
"My goodness gracious, that's a work of art", Flynt commented about Pyrrha's beauty.
"Flynt?" Neon growl at him with jealously.
"It's just me on the screen Neon", Flynt tries to get Neon not be jealous at the scene.
"Flynt Coal isn't an Atlesian on this Universe."
"No he isn't", Hakaze answered James's question.
"Flynt, this is Pyrrha", Jaune introduce and yet Pyrrha studies the man with suspicion.
"Flynt's a top undercover man, he can speak many languages as you", Jaune said what Flynt can do
"He doesn't look that impressive", Pyrrha speaks an ancient Vacuo Language much to the surprise of the audiences.
"You do to me, Your eyes as soft as your smile", Flynt speaks ancient Vacuo too.
"And your eyes look like they want something", Pyrrha speaks ancient Mistral language next.
"I know ancient Mistral too, tricky girl." Flynt intrigue that Pyrrha knows ancient Mistral language too while he speaks that too.
"But can you recite Socrates in Amazon?" Pyrrha speaks her Amazon language but Flynt has no idea what she said, Pyrrha is unimpressed by that.
"Nah, I don't know Amazon language", Flynt commented that he doesn't understand Amazon tongue.
"That's because the outside doesn't know about the Amazons", Neon said to him.
"Oh good your done, where is Neptune?" Jaune's question is Flynt pointing at 2 men fighting, the huge guy beating the hell out of the smaller and younger man.
"At least Neptune is good with his fists", Pyrrha said thinking the big guy is Neptune.
"That's not Neptune", Jaune corrects her as the big delivers one last punch at Neptune to the face and he tumbles down on his back. "That's Neptune", Jaune said as the big guy walks away when Flynt, Jaune and Pyrrha gets to Neptune and help him up, Neptune gets back up on his feet and be cheerful.
"I've been humiliated", Neptune commented after seeing his counterpart go down like that.
"Ah don't worry Neptune, at least you still got back up", Weiss cheered him up, while Hakaze shuts Jacque up by glaring at him knowing he will not improve if Weiss in a relationship with Neptune.
"All right, Neptune?" Jaune ask as Neptune is deeply drunk after drinking whiskey.
"Jauney, may Oum put a flower on your head", Neptune said before making a drunk laugh, "hehehehehehehe!" Neptune in the audiences finds his counterpart not so amusing but others find him funny.
"What were you fighting about?" Pyrrha ask him what was the fighting all about.
"I mistook his drink for mine", Neptune answered, the big buy only pick a fight with him because he mistakes his drink for his, Pyrrha looks at Jaune and she is clearly concerned by his choice of companions
"We should all be concerned about the people we recruit", James said knowing everything needs concerned.
"Neptune is no fighter."
"Neptune is an expert marksman", Jaune said meaning he's a sharpshooter. "He shoots people", Jaune explains the meaning of that.
"From very far away", Flynt said another meaning.
"They never know what hit 'em", Neptune said but Pyrrha can see a darkness behind his polite smile.
"Oh so Neptune is a sharpshooter", Ruby said because she too is a sharpshooter too.
"Just like Ruby?"
'Yeah, Yang."
"How do you know who you kill if you can't see their faces?"
"I don't, better that way." Neptune never wants to see their faces anyway.
"My aunt warned me about men like you", Pyrrha said.
"Ain't the first time I heard that, lassie."
"You fight without honor", Pyrrha said but deep down, Neptune already knows that.
"Don't get paid for honor", Neptune said that honor doesn't come with the pay.
"Well people with Guns lacks any fight with honor", Winter mentions because the kind of soldiers is different then the ones who fight with honor using melee weapons.
"What's the job Arc?" Flynt ask what's the job then.
"2 days tops. we need supplies and passage to Solitas", Jaune explains to them what the job is.
"What's the going rate?" Neptune asked.
"Better pay good?" Flynt said that the pay better be good.
"We are dropping her off at the front", Jaune reveals that Pyrrha is going to the front with them.
"Dropping her off?" Flynt ask in confusion.
"No offense, but I don't wanna get killed helping a girl out of a ditch, ya know what I mean?" Neptune protest against the idea on bringing Pyrrha along with unaware of what she is truly capable of.
Then the big guy who punched Neptune returns with a EC-17 Hold-Out Blaster Pistol. "You got your friends", he aims at Neptune, "these are mine", but quickly Pyrrha steps in and grabs the big guy as if weighed nothing and tosses him across the room! Pyrrha also takes the EC-17 Hold-Out Pistol hands it to Jaune while the people around are wondering what was that.
"That's going to leave mark, and thanks for the save."
"Your welcome Neptune."
"And thank Amazon super strength!" Nora cheered tossing her empty drink up in the air that lands in the garbage.
"I'm both frightened and aroused", Flynt said after seeing what Pyrrha is capable of.
"When aren't you?" Neptune said as Coco shows up next.
"There they are. Hello all! Sorry, I'm late", Coco said until Ozpin shows up too.
"I assume you're here to stop us?" Jaune wonder if that's the main reason why Ozpin is here.
"No, nothing like that. Now nothing can jeopardize the armistice talks, but I also believe in insurance. I'm here to help you but unofficially of course. What's your plan?" Ozpin reveals that he will be helping them.
"That's good of Ozpin to give them aid", Tai said because everyone else won't and Ozpin will.
"Going against orders is sometimes very necessary like this one", James said knowing he would like to go against orders.
"Sometimes everyone needs to learn to make their own decisions, that's meaning of free will", Hakaze is referring to a certain 501st Clone Arc Trooper who said this some years ago during the First Clone Wars.
"If there are any more of that poison in other facilities, find it and destroy it along with Ironwood and Ilia", Jaune said what's his plan.
"Fine, Coco will run the mission out of my office, to allay suspicion", Ozpin said with Coco looking at him.
"Run the mission, sir?" Coco wonders what that means.
"It's enough for a few days", Ozpin said after giving them some slip of paper.
"Thank you sir", Jaune thanks.
Next they are a station in Vale where they will get their ride to Solitas. Pyrrha rakes herself into the throng, observing all the different of people hustling and bustling in the station. Everything here is weirdly jubilant and gung ho. 2 kids ride through the station on bicycles, a willful little girl runs away from her mother, nurses and women factory workers board the Republic Transport Ships, solemnly and purposefully.
Pyrrha takes in an array of Human and Faunus emotions, mothers crying, fathers proud, sons committed and brave, going off to war and fighting alongside Republic Clone Troopers. Girlfriends are swept passionately into their boyfriend's arms, dogs are cooped up and hugged goodbye. Pyrrha's eyes well as Jaune checks his watch.
"Yeah, many soldiers do have families of their own, but sometimes they never return because they are killed in action, but some due come back but lost something", Winter have seen this many times when soldiers due have families.
"Our transport leaves in a few minutes", Jaune said, but Pyrrha is engrossed with the joy around her.
Jaune looks around at what she's seeing, then back at her a beat longer than he would expect. Pyrrha watches a man and his daughter walk away from ice cream vendor, eating ice cream cone. Jaune notice this and ask this out of curiosity.
"Hungry?" Jaune ask and Pyrrha nods with a smile and Jaune buys 2 for them
"That's sweet of you Jaune", Pyrrha said and touches his cheek making him blush again.
"It's cold", Pyrrha said after examining it.
"It's ice cream", Jaune said and Pyrrha tastes it, it was the best thing she ever tasted in her life.
"It's wonderful", Pyrrha said and then turns to the ice cream vendor, "you should be very proud", Pyrrha said before Jaune pulls her away while the vendor is confused.
Eventually they found their ride to Solitas, it's a Republic Pelta-Class Frigate, Pyrrha watches as Soldiers from the other Kingdoms of Remnant and Republic Clone Troopers disembark from it. Pyrrha looks at them some of the Remnant Soldiers and Republic Clone Troopers, many of them look wounded, even some lost a limb, Pyrrha turns away when she can no longer in despair and takes Jaune's arm.
"Yeah some who survived a mission, they don't always come back with all of their limbs", James commented knowing everyone can lose something and then they don't back with them.
"Like yours?" Qrow ask and he talking about his cybernetic arm.
"Something like that", James answered.
"That ship is a Pelta-Class Frigate, they are usually Medical Ships", Hakaze tells what the Pelta-Class Frigate is and what role it has.
After landing in Solitas that's so far away from the Kingdom of Atlas, they keep walking until night approaches. Pyrrha and the team walk up to the campfire and meet a familiar monkey Faunus. "Your late", it was Sun Wukong.
"Sun!" Jaune and him embrace and then nods and smiles to Flynt and Neptune.
"Good to see you", Flynt said.
"Aye", Neptune said.
"So Sun is the last guy to join the team", Blake said.
"Yeah." Hakaze answer her, well Sun is a fighter too.
Sun looks at Pyrrha and for the first time in the world of men, a man looks at her square in the eye. "Who is this?" Sun and Pyrrha shakes hands.
"I'm Pyrrha", she introduce herself.
"Where did you find her?" Sun turns and ask Jaune.
"She found me", Jaune answer knowing Pyrrha saw him crashed during their first meeting.
"I plucked him from the sea", Pyrrha said while Jaune waves at her to stop while some snicker at this.
"It's a long story", Jaune said while Pyrrha looks at the pile of packages behind Sun, along with some Blasters.
"Vale tea for the Atlesians, Atlas beer for Vale", Jaune said what were those drinks.
"Oh", Qrow commented about the Beer of Atlas.
"Please Qrow", Raven is getting him to stop.
"Really Qrow?" Tai ask him about Atlas Beer.
"Goodness Qrow!" Summer muttered next while Ruby and Yang give him a smug look.
Later on that night, Neptune is fast asleep along with Jaune and Flynt around the fire. Sun is heating cans of food, lastly Pyrrha turns to the rumbling in the distances which is actually artillery fire.
"Strange thunder."
"Atlesians and CIS 77", Sun said but Pyrrha doesn't understand that. "Guns, big ones", Sun help her understand that all. "That's the front out there. The evening hate", Sun points out as he hands her a can of beans. She tries it, frowns. Not all the food here is good. Sun counts his money and Pyrrha eyes him warily.
"So, who do you fight for in this war?" Pyrrha ask Sun on whom does he fight for as the war drags on while he stuffs the money in his pocket.
"I don't", Sun answer that he doesn't fight for anyone.
"You're here for profit then."
"Nowhere better to be."
"Nowhere better to be than a war you don't take a side in?"
"I have nowhere else and no side left. The last war all those years ago, took everything from my people. We have nothing left. At least here, I'm free", Sun explains what's he doing here anyway.
"Who took that from your people?" Pyrrha ask causing Sun to wonder how could she not know about that, well Sun has no idea that she's an Amazon.
"The CIS did", Sun revealed that it was the CIS that did that.
"Okay sometime before against the current war, when the CIS invaded Menagerie, they stole a lot of stuff from the people of Menagerie, ultimate the CIS have been fended off thanks to the Republic", Hakaze the background to that.
"But they never got what they took back did they?" Sienna ask about it.
"Some but not all it."
Neptune interrupts them because he cries out from his nightmare and wakes both Jaune and Flynt up. Pyrrha reaches to him and tries to calm him down. Ultimately Neptune just pulls away from Pyrrha, Neptune gets up and grabs another beer then leaves.
"He sees ghosts", Sun explains what's up with Neptune.
"You afraid of ghosts?" Sun ask Neptune but he gives only a smug look and no answer.
"You're going to get cold here", Jaune puts a blanket around Pyrrha despite her protest.
"Still being sweet Jaune", Melissa Arc said to her son.
"I know there will be romance with Pyrrha and Jaune", Ruby took a guess about the coming romance but it's just not there yet.
"That's really going to happen but just not now", Hakaze answered.
Meanwhile, James and Ilia enters the Atlesian War council, well the Council turns out to be the same Atlas Council they all recognize. "You were absent at the council meeting General Ironwood."
"You've been negotiating the terms of the armistice", a frustrated James said to them.
"On behalf of CIS Supreme Leader Samon Kusaribe."
"But on your insistences", James accuse. "We can win easily, if only you had faith in me", the way James says it, he almost expects that everyone simply agree with him but no.
"We don't, there are shortages of food, medicine, ammunition that the CIS wouldn't give us. Every hour we delay costs 1000 of Atlesian lives", they speak out their excuses.
"1 attack and the war belongs to the Kingdom of Atlas and the CIS", James speaks again but gets cut off.
"We stand against you and your witch, Ironwood! 24 hours from now this war will end, it is over", well James knows he won't win the Council over.
"For all of you, it's over", James turns and leaves, but ultimately James nods to Ilia who then throws a gas canister and James throws a gas mask into the war room, James then shuts the door and lock it preventing anyone from escaping.
This frights and horrifies the audiences.
The men inside tried to get the gas mask but they fight over it while the gas spreads all around the room. Ilia looks into the window and pull away as the glass breaks which caused by the gas.
"The mask won't help them", Ilia warns the gas is just going to eat through the gas mask.
"But they don't know that", James commented and then cracks open that same capsule with that gas that gives him super strength. "It's time to stage our demonstration to CIS Supreme Leader Samon Kusaribe", James said to Ilia and then leave to show the poison gas to Samon Kusaribe.
"If he can't convince the Atlas Council he will just kill them and find others to follow him, because that's would Ares would do", James said in horror for his counterpart did, but still believes he's Ares.
"True, but CIS Supreme Leader Samon Kusaribe would follow all that", Hakaze said that Samon would do anything just for the CIS archive their goals
End
Coming up next, battle in the front.
Long time to get this one done.
