Ever since her arrival, she had to remain quiet and observant. She had to keep her guard up and not bring in suspicion from those who were living in this world and thanks to Doctor Sauer, he had gotten her far for quite some time. However, the soldiers who she had to encounter within the town were often asking her what did she do for the doctor as she would only have to shrug them off. A smile fell upon her face as she remembered how the Ice Queen acted before she broke down her mask for the rest of Team RWBY. Remnant, what was going on back in her world ever since she was defeated by her foe?942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPbWaLrhOo
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9k17i0qr9
Then she was brought back into reality when the shopkeeper had grabbed her attention. "Excuse me miss, but here is your groceries. They're all been accounted for." Stated the German manager behind the counter as he brought a paper bag to her. It was small, but she knew that the doctor had a liking to the chocolates. "That would be fifty-two Reichsmarks." He said in English, but his accent was present. "You're lucky, once the Americans start hear about chocolates, they would run me dry."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD030BfZ5aA
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvKJKUA3dR
Pyrrha smiled before handing him the money. "Its a good thing I got here first." She stated as the manager chuckled. "What is so funny?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgpk7NrKAz
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK89OsTXYAx
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrUiEZEM1J
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmO0yaHCpp
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGdXllIK2N
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfhcGXxELu
"Ja." The manager answered in his native tongue. "One of their officers went missing ever since his kameraden left him behind at the bar. The last person who last saw him was Mr. Burgstaller, so the MPs are investigating him if he had a hand in this."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX3kL0sdYw
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiou1IafCiL
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQfeWYGgJ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1EvNUgNdz
Then he shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know, his cousin was rumored to have been killed by the Americans during the Ardennes Offensive." The manager continued. "Maybe he wants revenge for Germany's second defeat against the Allies, but was too old to fight in this war."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3arSKmeP2h
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXj0v5OF1F
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofT8skWOSO
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFVlnnsLj
"Young lady, our country was humiliated in the Great War. Then the Americans, the British, and the French-they all just told us to pay for all of the damages both sides created." He stated. "I don't blame my government for trying to be a great country again, but I do blame Hitler and his war-like party for going to war for stupid reasons."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQW6eBDm9t
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3byMBH4HJ
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NzsJEPu79
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPhw2qkQeo
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKVT2kVz0
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQceoO11cw
Then Pyrrha turned away as she slipped out of the store as she saw a sight of military-grade vehicles driving past her as she took notice of the soldiers sitting in their seats as she saw their rifles slung over their shoulders. Trucks followed after as she saw dozens of men, clumped together to be transported to a designation she knew little of.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYM8OTwszW
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiZtfR3rjj
One of the men took notice of her and grabbed her attention. "Hey lass, what's with the bandage over your chest." He commented on her fresh wound.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ8Tlqer2s
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3awrg2YSbe
Her scar... the humiliating scar she received from that girl she could not defeat. She stared at the soldier who mentioned her with an icy glare.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYMeHnrVEX
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj96jsAmQVf
The reaction to her changed his expression as he brought himself back into his seat and returned to watching the convoy pass. Then there was a showcase of tanks as the first tank was heavier than the first, but it stopped its tracks from moving any further.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvsBkO81jZ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7bYBklcYu
The tank's hatch opened up with a man who wore a cap instead of a helmet as he gestured his hand to tell her to move along.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1bHFrtmO
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWTHB5I6TL
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcTyLEp3S8
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXcq7LhqCi
As the tanks proceeded to continue their journey, she was met with another woman dressed in black. Her dress exposed more of her legs until it reached above her knees. It brought the attention of many of the soldiers riding the tanks who whistled and waved for her attention; sadly, it was all for naught since she ignored their calls.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSVPCfu6Ze
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsGcFpdJJm
The woman who stood in front of her was familiar, very familiar indeed. Pyrrha knew who she was and tightened her grip on the doctor's bag as the last of the military convoy had finally left the street they stood on.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMXmJBWLCu
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupA6SMWNnn
Then they both confronted each other as the brunette smiled at her. "Hello Pyrrha Nikos." She began. "I see you are still alive after all of this time."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xn5CoEbtt
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JUtPFSsE5
Pyrrha gave a cold glare towards the lady in front of her. "Why are you here?" Came her demands. "Are you here to finish what you started?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt458Ks0Jh
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLzMqgAMYK
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa3VyeiM2L
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjDLchTnw
"What are you doing here?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl93pUW5cj1
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbvG5J2Trc
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rL4FEudG4
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9TdefEHKE
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bED7WOEV
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZmWqPgyFV
"Don't worry, I am not here to end you since this place nullifies my aura as well." Cinder stated. "Now to the matter of this offer. I will let you live if you do not return to Remnant, but if you try to return to stop me I will finish what we both started back at beacon." It could have been said that her eyes were burning. "However, I am not here for you, but for someone else."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJROkddowM
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36jBI77lNC
"Who?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtPrErIsQZ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1aR3sKIS
"This is a matter I have to discuss with Doctor Sauer. Don't follow me, it's very personal. If you do, I may drown this place in Grimm." Then Cinder began to walk past her as she continued her way down the street.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqfZkOOr5P
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3errTrXfuq
She watched her foe make her way before the voice of an older man stepped up. "Are you looking for me?" Turning her head behind her back, she was met with a stoic face of the doctor's who brought out a different side of his personality.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslOs0fu9vX
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW2yfA44E0
"I have and I have awaited to see you again." Cinder stated as Pyrrha stepped back to see two confront each other in the street.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog05w8BrDp
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg5ebkiRA4
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhmrsxXYch
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGwpuh0OY
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTabEO961Y5
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXlK5o8eWW
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFXnEM4SJ2
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFam5erHeAi
"Why should I leave?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNizsd4afd7
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXgStzlYfg
Then she was immediately met with the doctor's eyes. "Please, these are matters you won't understand." Honest eyes, it was almost as if he was pleading with her.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwd4dBmqQo
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEsLEPsGiH
Whatever business she had with Cinder, Pyrrha didn't like it. However, she did take Doctor Sauer's advice as he walked away from the duo in the street. With her attention focused on the road, she tried to hear out their conversation while she continued to leave them be. Between the clicking of her high-heels, she overhead their conversation.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB44PRx8CjK
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsXu5BNANR
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoNV8jTfGL
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEtuH9WqzN
Cinder returned with a seductive reply. "I'm here to recruit you." She stated. "We could change man's place on Remnant forever and possibly, here."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLeMOkWKRu
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHomXZPpRwd
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCoDJzleSU
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u0sGR0EJl
She didn't know how Cinder knew Doctor Sauer, even though he went missing nine years ago. Could it be that they knew one another beforehand? Before he ended up on Earth. How did she even get here in the first place? It was these thoughts which concerned Pyrrha the most about the doctor. They could possibly conspiring together, but how? Then the matter of the danger occurred to her. She mentioned about recruiting the doctor to work with her, but he mentioned something about a disagreement between Cinder and himself.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhurOYtDGCi
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlkehqOJEw
Some of Cinder's words echoed through her mind. "...I may drown this place in Grimm." The thought was terrifying, if she could bring the Grimm into a world where there was no auras or dust to protect the people of Earth from the soulless creatures. How could they defeat them?942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1paTZOra

After Johnny Vastano didn't report to Conti, everything went to hell. The Military Police told Monte Durante and his fellow officers that they were to remain in the command post until further notice... and it pissed him off. Durante knew that rules were there for a reason, but sometimes he hated them for getting in the way. Now that the Military Police were looking into his disappearance and didn't want any of the company commanders to get in the way of their investigation, especially Captain Durante and Fox Company. It was duly noted by the command structure that he was known for not going by the books and often not following regulations within the US Army, but don't understand the use of not having a command structure in situations like this. He could possibly find Johnny faster than these MPs could do since they could possibly piss of the people living in Lorch and the last thing they needed was to fight a war against a civilian population, just like how the Germans had to put up against the French, Polish, and the Dutch.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFGLVNQgIH
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZSX8e8Nuz
Sitting in his seat and looking at he map of Lorch and the surrounding area, Monte decided to bring a conversation. Then he looked to the youngest officer who led Baker Company. "Hey Bill, what do you plan to do after the war?" He asked. Ever since the Germans surrendered to the Soviets on one side and the Allies on the other, home was on everyone's mind. However, with Colonel Conti telling Monte and his fellow captains, it was difficult for anyone to not protest against the idea.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMBWyurnKF
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB8a7lzzVA
Captain Edwards came to him with two mugs of coffee as he placed on mug on the table for Durante. Then he leaned back on the table full of maps of Lorch. "I don't know." The officer answered as he looked down into his caffeinated drink. "I think I'll stick around for the Army for a few years. "942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47sRQ4TRNt
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutHiXoW6lj
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWROf3exww
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBt0AHalW0
He took a sip of his coffee before he added. "Yeah, though I doubt I'll get to see the stuff like what we did at the Ardennes." Both men chuckled in the command room as the officers almost forgot about the radio operators who were at their stations. "I remember you asked me to take out those command trucks back at Espeler and loot all of their weapons; though, I didn't mind the infrared assault rifles you gave to me."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQT61pljKk
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V5VwyGwou
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FZp66Inif
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVLzXTtCn3
Within their conversation, they almost forgot the third captain whose invaluable experience was almost forgot. "Yet, you boys decided that it was funny to steal those bazookas my men were using." Monte turned to his left to see the old man in his uniform sitting in the chair on the side of the room. "I should've hanged both of you by the balls for that stupid stunt." Then his beady eyes were aimed at CO of Fox Company. "I'm looking at you Durante."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYy4jOwxiV
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qXuRnrtRF
Then the captain shrugged his shoulders at the memory. "Well, it's not my fault that my men needed it more than you did." Monte replied. "You refused our request for anti-tank rockets every time." Derby muttered to himself in his southern ways.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWn7YZT3sM
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisslrm4VdT
The memories of himself arguing with Kurt had left a bad attitude for quite some time after the German war machine extended themselves from the frontlines. He couldn't blame the old man, he was a grizzled veteran from the Great War. The problem was, this wasn't the Great War. No one fought in trenches, tanks were quite common, and Army officers didn't send their men to the meat grinder. That being said, Monte hated being reminded of the Ardennes. Plenty of his Rangers died trying to hold places like Stavelot and St. Vith. All trying to hold the line and stem the tide through smaller tactics against the German forces from bringing in the big bad kitties from kicking Bill's ass.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ6KFlqKf4
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQXGdDBzkA
A familiar figure stormed the room with his red beret as the company commanders turned their heads to see the British officer. "Lads!" He shouted. "Where we're you when Colonel Conti was killed?!"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7drTY9ZHz
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy6Ks0uX7f
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIOcfIYKbJ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOrD9DpVX
"We found Colonel Conti and his staff killed on the side of the road before I returned back." Came his answer. "Why weren't you all with him?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6cQu6u4Y1
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YodZGscy
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8wDpCVAMg
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ovrK773FS
"I wasn't told of any military police units."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiFuaaXghQ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexxZW7mUIb
Then two more people entered the room, but this man was Blackmore's superior. Nearly in the same age-range as Kurt Derby were it not for his eyepatch on his left eye. The second man joining him was easily recognized since Monte knew he fought with him at Lorch, Captain Argall.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274axIPfUg
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiYtiv43o6
However, everyone's attention was trained on the British colonel in his officer's cap. "Major Blackmore, I think that's enough." He stated. "Everyone I am Colonel Strudwick, I serve the OSS and I've been in this section far too long to know that someone... has infiltrated this town. Someone who wants something of importance or someone by that matter." It was immediately noted that Colonel Blackmore was using a cane as he leaned on it for support. "I believe it is safe to assume that-"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjyGC148oP
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PWb8WKWo0
It was to their surprise that someone had penetrated this deep from the entrance of the mansion the command post was located. This time, Durante recognized the red-head girl who stopped at the doorway. "Doctor Sauer is in danger!" Pyrrha stated. Her mouth opened, but suddenly an MP ran up behind her and wrapped his arms around her mouth.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBxgTywSd1
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWMSaHDPKF
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm5zqmeRqg
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv2xdrtgyD
The MP was trying keep a grip on Pyrrha before she kicked him in the foot with her high-heels, but this time she smashed the back of her head into her assailant. The officers stepped forward, but the MPs helmet flew off as they all stopped in their tracks. The sight was very noticeable as Durante couldn't comprehend the fact that the MP who was struggling to handle the girl had wolf ears.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxPOBxJots
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8vTx5Jitu
Before the officers proceeded to pry his arms off of her, the disguised MP reached down for his holster. Suddenly, the captain of Fox Company saw the British colonel reach for his sidearm faster. The revolver discharged a shot as the man with the wolf ears became the weapon's victim with his hands loosening his grip on Pyrrha.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GOoL3hsOT
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iDdyxdAjG
Durante came forward to see to the need of the girl, but she raised her head and gestured him of little need for his assistance. Turning to the rest of the room, it was like the hole place froze.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXHYGMK5ZN
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmwCki874h
Immediately, the present caught up to everyone. "Alright lads." Colonel Strudwick began before turning to the radio operators and the officers. "Its clear that we need to alert everyone." His cold gaze was aimed at the radio operators. "You there, organize everyone in Lorch to investigate all of the MPs that are present." Then he added more orders to the rest of the officers. "Major Blackmore, disperse the lads to search the town and find the infiltrators."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw18AYEIEr7
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSOPRwGZCG
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjasDfNpxJ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4QpRUyuo6
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYpDrmOqM4
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbz1uHmf7s
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnqxyiFsBs
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pkWpktCfn
Strudwick turned around as he brought Durante over to the table full of maps covering Lorch. "Yes, I need all of you to create an encirclement around the town and comb from the outside to the inside." He suggested. "All of you come here." Soon Edwards and Derby came over to see his idea. "Captains, I'll inform Major Blackmore to move men from the west." His finger was aimed at Derby. "You're going to sweep in from the north and block their route to the vineyards."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEh2C7XFti
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1NdkIVUq0
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ZgMiddhM
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix8iTH5ffg
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ZC1YZJ81
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9sw815aE
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4TqDXW04v
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3sO5Zs72x
Then the last order of business was brought to Edwards. "Lad, I'm going to need you to act as a net for us. You will be blocking the infiltrators from any escape to the east. Kill them if you must, but try to obtain any prisoners."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQw60vcbNg
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk41e1tP8JK
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeWKmBMzSe
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CC6EYLTf2
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmB8IvtVha
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AXC5Bb55m
All of the American officers stared at him.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRvi6Xs9G0
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWjiWxrfyk
Colonel Strudwick sighed. "I work for the OSS, I'm sure you all should know that." Sounds of gunfire were heard outside as he rushed them. "Come lads, get to work! God isn't giving us much time to work with."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw33YUESTSg
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioUuc44qfl
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB6NyoDm1u
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTMgVzuyg
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrauRzSUD6
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpODLz4Ncm
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9miPoCQ9o2
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIcyydkWNf
"Got it." Replied Monte before turning to Pyrrha standing in the room. "Alright miss, stick with them they're the good sort." Then he ran through the hallways as he pulled out his sidearm.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUcguxMF6u

They were not far from Lorch. Rather, they were watching over it and Doctor Sauer hated moments when he had to meet Cinder like this. "I take you proceeded with Salem's plan?" He asked her. Both individuals were sitting on a bench as a tree acted as their shade.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggRde4yxFO
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLdwlPZ40J
Cinder watched the fighting from afar. "Yes. I have managed to get Ozpin out of the way." She stated as if she was amused by the memory. "He tried to stop the coming chaos which I shall bring."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTCOnIcrAv
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w6iKWy2BT
Doctor Sauer sighed. "It is a pity that you do not know Ozpin like I do. He has his ways to fight you and Salem indirectly." A great explosion erupted in the town as the volume of gunfire increased.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTJgaSMi3o
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrtKefrhRs
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsza9pWQUa
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnz0knEHaV
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ02Aeleja
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsLAFp0LXq
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorcLcHtgNZ
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7dW1qgVI
"Sometimes, they often find the courage to fight even when the odds are against them." He argued. "Especially when it feels like there is no hope."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VykJGbGiF
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQNOPvYLKn
"Even though it is all in vain?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfHDwUYNKC
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDax0xaYMU
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC25PUfLqKx
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotNqQNmfJO
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB6CGub9r1
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahzaKft0yo
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs5m67gXup
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5zJcd5YDT
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXW8POcdcd
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRD0mD7l77
Doctor Sauer paused for a moment. "Cinder, you know your mother and I will fight once more and my dedication to protecting man from her monsters has already been decided. So expect my return home."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoAQvujhDl
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI6QctsX5A
Cinder stopped watching the fighting before turning her sights on the man sitting beside her. "Father, I missed you." It was a long time since she last done this, but she gave her father a hug. "It is a pity that you and her have made your battle lines."942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqUUow00E
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfsDcDDQqX
The doctor returned the heart-warming gesture, his hand pressed on her arms while he kissed her silky hair. "I know, I know." His ears perked up when the sounds of engines were close and the shouting of men were nearby.942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtgEjyD0MZ
