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?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFj3KR3EtM
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vfvsOodbg
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UwVHsbUOO
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJl5qWzAS
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?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHRtnyaVeO
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EGS108ZVg
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6hlbR0fQe
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDnI2mf85Q
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ARTHeOGT
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizhCFPCGJJ
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkWAhbWCvQ
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE5Z4reoia
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8B27nmU1Q
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQjcNriRqN
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZCKUkB149
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVLRLG0oSB
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZSVDTmRhP
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJYNOE1rr
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPMIsbwvc
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21V5hj51Qo
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJlJBZFaCS
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MPtn5UWor
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yQ9whgIf0
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNNbLO2m2H
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS49VyWTCIa
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7aqx2I47E
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrRS5gLfd3
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO7gdNtONf
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYqv0P2w9l
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9NlqtmbJ4
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtI6STK0A
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSSiw19Vnm
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOPotl9Vqf
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QlHypyw5e
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedmgjj5oVJ
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5W32pDcWN
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxSgeTeb5D
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH6v8AIghK
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3w3gEA34M
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf5G9NgleC
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdZJ62WXdz
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEdDWaCfFB
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?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r2bdvdSY5
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZr6yt47X
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplBbfRXzm6
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbLMpvaf7i
"What are you doing here?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUPQyFQqeu
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiISPlrIut
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SvtyGMENQ
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoYUl30tWx
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeo77ymMVX
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmPAEhJWmW
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tAEWkAm5k
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy0rJhkB3d
"Who?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJks2ErNClt
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRZrc8gO08
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8rFlcBF4m
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DbCmYAIGy
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdYj294CYJ
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtybuXXtzg
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ly5D7eafb
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg5QHWD9tT
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykfQiPIyCy
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFHMIhx8ep
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGZ1VCBx5A
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwyaL4lk01
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTlM9ve73W
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HsIFIrKI0
"Why should I leave?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG1Ga0YcPd
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMleiWmqHut
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJAOJ1Vf34
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kbsmE4gnG
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl0FRbKpJp
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB5BUhZtFx
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ5UTJwQCp
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuWnGFyrnK
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESbyWQeoFC
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7zIg5pxxY
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsP70n7JAS
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRMWcULsXT
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVFBV7MsYJ
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhvQuKKGK7
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?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxyLO3nqtG

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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMCx6qWb1O
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67r8wLnB3
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCR42npFyv
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LNS81SsAP
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. "995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS517qIUnp
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NWOosH7Na
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3IxX9bLjF
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IQqovUsi7
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ETbxCcdrq
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxctb2lflBo
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GbXMD6zHi
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMIpUZ4AFl
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7EL3Mc9na
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUP1IrAjnW
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3lnpJ4IlY
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBHGd5uQby
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXxl0VwzNl
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXcRjFxzGl
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?!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDXph3T0cp
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLKGNIaOvc
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6a1Ztx2Ht
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lZGZQ73DW
"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?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIF8la2bMa
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTwmSPpFFI
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH3vugCKZB
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmoNNaLQfH
"I wasn't told of any military police units."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdeaDCDnJA
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLZ6aEihEn
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoYZmEFfbC
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ytr7NN8ac
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-"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCkGukwWF
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OElPflK2Z
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTndYNweLlu
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TG47eMN2k
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafzeCldqC2
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMgSJ7OJot
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdhL6TK5QE
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABOR72FxHT
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYGvRB1a8p
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMMM04uElo
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGzESaGQRZ
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ914GzJzayK
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRKJLk8kSz
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiDaYk0oiU
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeT40xJ3js
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsd6Zw7I0a
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSahR2k3Enb
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj4hYxDRdq
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidsU0Kj6Yl
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmBmMSv1AU
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7QVv5ssh
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9arhEiiPr
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKUupVN46a
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuLJ5jZKGo
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj9W3JLWJT
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRwWA8JVKl
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOLCgwDt1b
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxup2aLU4Bb
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhCwuMO1aP
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK2RbxWjKc
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5TRCy2W54
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYdCYQq79S
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq25qjzS6uf
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTM8uT7Jqr
All of the American officers stared at him.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XUogSDPS
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EUaPZZ49Z
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH274tGRzTq
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSkePHytBD
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTvYtgumty
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QiSjnbWWH
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxu2gpiRjX
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErdSyRj0B
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDNrVWb5d
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIr9S80R4D
"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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnJbXTcm8f

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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQMSxbGIg
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnXCupcC1E
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaDIo6IZBu
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65WHJVyj0R
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7id19eK2
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmmybhIuKa
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ex1TshM06
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajasT1CLDr
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomT9aKqrPU
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtTGZhH24w
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIUODN7OtK
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQiO2exYYe
"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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovOyuOKtJI
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSpRcYWih4
"Even though it is all in vain?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERoDuDKAEh

"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u1yIgVrCf
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3xvKTuVVi
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WriRoWRDG
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JhTEuNTRO
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVifXEQRLr
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNOqk2CKDM
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDb7wv7Xw
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDMXuBc51r
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i5XZ19wmb
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIvxqkUAdM
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."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusy2ivUO87
995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXImxEWPSb1
