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?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CW20A7tBm
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCch6JOhDvU
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQosfE3oLy
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ6uQay3IZ
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?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGmKTDj3IG
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs0miQ25Mq
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JQMvveoI4
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFJMu7rmRB
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlXpeA6jkL
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V5OKx1xlg
"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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjlNsy7pEz
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNkSntCbv
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mDLMFa2N7
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn0NK0ME4K
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2YDHBi9XH
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH3incdbLa
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZccbEdBYD
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLJil02YPj
"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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KFsnxpK1j
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDIPbDu2La
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIWcChuTbP
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAd80VZhwU
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWx974m0of
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1si3XaBfXS
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj3I14k9bQ
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJAuhrE1uH
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD6RIUGrzD
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYlxaohyIy
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrsoeyZ22
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dwT5nWUeI
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xMyNsXux5
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9VRBFzrDh
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhA2a2Yl08
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKpRHn3DmS
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx11JRlXmP
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIn0cBOWdh
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUGMXcPR0P
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W7vVDTlJa
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYq43XrS9
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnMLyrf55p
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKYxVFweJR
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVXgHDvtZK
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?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXsboY3c48
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXInbQBFNE6
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmf7PQNo0
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF1I2sPYX8
"What are you doing here?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgopnAuHtuz
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOaiNdrc72
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV6ZnIOdVB
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCOpDE04B
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwKO7hibcS
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstYwUqwG1A
"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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4GVux5wnc
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44hxwdYPB
"Who?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBZ9f7cS2
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDLHx0DMiP
"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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1COpba5o0s
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrj7sdttvT
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNtII1keeJ
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa1N4ay4vu
"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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyTsg7BBDJ
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU50YFMCrvB
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Vz5MGKXN
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tOJ9hldIn
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53fVP7uY1A
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiKj01uBcC
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfEJuw1d66
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUyqfP0qkn
"Why should I leave?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZs9ff4KYC
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuB1bSAn7y
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiFdsh9lUn
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAceQ8QKNX
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61mDW9I8tS
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RzIEo832s
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX3X62uSXV
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwyDnb4JSQ
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcidJwrYfy
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RK9PbwNuJ
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfiQWBiYQh
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgFPUqqkzO
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmURgzbTFr
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3okJ2uaGcH
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?1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLxOxrNgCH

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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ4kF9hjU4
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJFsUmplMU
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMKLewBspI
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKx0hgSog
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. "1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvURwpHIoxS
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojX7zCrK4U
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHzsNY2jQQ
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFDiyiRFE
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8463Rskqe
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiRLLZAyjw
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GwXdwGxuD
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI6T2JQGBT
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QcdGliLza
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfzFjvm1LH
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpoFrxaPn6
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kOD3iPJHC
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1YGvPATiH
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqp64cRkh
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?!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDV66z1yzF
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4Sq9rhHU
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tjCuRnMxk
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfURcscJwU
"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?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBwPZ79WN0
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYxEDX4L7G
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV47qaYlhg
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tGaLmi6G
"I wasn't told of any military police units."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSmuKnUgBa
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ486CYxxMLD
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcGDuj9hqw
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9RRAmwnHc
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-"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUq4eju6SF
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw60i4xmyT
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUJziXADlq
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4mLmrbHoX
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDW6WnbRmt
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmAoRkE1hH
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGgE10aHmh
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtj8br6IcV
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe1dPRYDdL
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ZWIZlVEe
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW2mAa6WVI
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsnkYd7zUi
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCph6Yg43BJ
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmcFEoK9VF
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMqQ9TqCZF
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxajIs2d1qx
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnN826WvbR
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsEevPyAtc
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKMtzUz0HQ
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkpq6nuUTV
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOaq6pjaMG
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZFV7x7Bf
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk07NDtzTDL
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKEPvMMfV0
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkRrWsTNuK
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs770sst1zh
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuX2L6qNeg
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsczTBUsdtk
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNoV7cDp5
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lojvhVI5r
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB9OJJlb4Q
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFuDmnOpuB
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEaHqDWLHe
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfNMQ32cdC
All of the American officers stared at him.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMCh2FuMSj
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa61osd0PE
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tTgoFEhgn
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKBB5Ct7yy
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFctxlqTlj
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4im6iWKuQN
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgg2YcZnbH
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNex7X5r4oY
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4Cq8Iz3G
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEHStu5RB8
"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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDbnAlwCa4

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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2jB158t7
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sioyIhSMD
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUPDSdg00e
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomOwOCyeXt
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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFGeG7kfWt
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1fp2qrPR3
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFNpHNjOXm
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LTJltp73c
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChGPqCsTqH
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5iUWxZDNo
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY6sIp4KMe
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmxagiqKuE
"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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJLb5RtDtE
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSKb2lb8h
"Even though it is all in vain?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP5OV6iz6d

1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1b9XLl4Wh
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2INvozyXM
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptwav3gLyb
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zqJ4rViLw
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3VnWphT8M
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA4dx3coBX
1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0GtPVo1kd
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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwSlLTF7wa

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."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqgdncb7kX

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.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vC1KYTGQw

Sauer closed his gaze before he felt a teardrop drip from the crevice off his eyes. "But you must." He squeezed Cinder close before he released her out of his arms. "Now go." Immediately, he reached down into his pockets for a handkerchief before he watched his daughter rise from her seat and walk away from him without a glance towards him.1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiCPYpbcSu

After clearing his face from his tears, the man waited as he regained his composure while the sight of his daughter grew smaller and smaller as she continued the distance. "Goodbye, Cinder." The voices of men were close by. "T'is is the burden for us monsters."1003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQKLsWV754
