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?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUA0PNvjWo
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnbmrDs4Wq
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPCYbxAZLp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0KKMbly5b
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?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2429wZG5bi
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5xQTD1znm
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtEsqW0w0F
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt50YmJMtC
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1db38vdmj
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVEkRTveKD
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLvMJRjuma
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIfoxVPR6G
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbu0AHJNeI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRA57SJZDD
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbM5zurfbo
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2pZ6zmmBK
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncQt6Xd2P7
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4QXFDoGkg
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQemLYDQqpc
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafK4sYaIq0
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezkHbCjPAU
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlra0ZUej5
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5SgnPvPZq
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24yj9Qa79m
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkxgPavVp1
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCgkIULHw9
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxoT1oJL6g
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUVOdap5JF
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6MWFg9Vol
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xQXmgMQrc
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qo95iVhI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjzW1GvRmy
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHYEBKOfNy
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgTQ8Reg06
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEUeE4ejXx
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFB2i33gGd
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSRDfwepfC
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIt7ebqybs
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1IbY5Dgv3
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvNq8Xuta1
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyi1KLwITc
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfL6e2r1jn
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?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliGI98jKy3
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfK29FTnMl
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9dzLYixXP
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DRrAY4eEs
"What are you doing here?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXFBkzY2Ja
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAB2MGhebK
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGGnpmpmmL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5CPqroIox
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuqQeZcNHi
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHR1SR8xeF
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeKeXu4b7h
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfajsU7obi
"Who?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Xuoy5qqK
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fi4BdWt1K
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7QCRNgM4S
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CxfxbgXdp
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX8cYlUKV1
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6cWzdfjm7
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ybht917g8
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJDomUuoSD
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbcflFpPzM
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6jhE4e84V
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DXMSbLDrO
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3li7McJYnJ
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEKCHzNLfF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJMmrh6GXI
"Why should I leave?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwzswwIXEL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBwMOJVpNi
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjMJZYbVTR
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ByWLaY3JK
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBcHhCAcF0
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNq0b4cssD
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPGeduEWhX
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qXu5ZyMit
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL98bthybig
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6zmMJP2hY
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlXyVYo1Mx
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXRM0Ls9Le
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBamRIIYmP
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxcXsASOGD
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?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAMxxwEEiz

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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1dWT3APX9
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqzg1TqpEg
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYoaRC8GO
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuDzqVSTuq
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. "959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX58K3JTrcl
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHkU4zXIx8
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJxVfWGJp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLK9m5cKPq
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8alUiSGP
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoh4OnRdOa
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMpozDVWgF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYXR8W65tS
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOuiRWlXSE
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7aBzf89xe
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq5SHx1DAa
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJojNz8jGkI
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWwjHaF71D
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD1t9DUN3k
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?!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp56RAT6MVx
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWH09w1MbR
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTKkjrgGjL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31bergm2TX
"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?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJr79g90fw
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVI23Bqq0E
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvesL5JP0ry
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL9GYdAEck
"I wasn't told of any military police units."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBq86NnyMz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMtxmM98V
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFNXv53XLp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAHnO6i642
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-"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeMqH2dCc5
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2kcBPIUSP
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWkMGDdOhM
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08JYsJwufO
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cUmXUh92g
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXrquNT3d
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K0LkWPw7C
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmOh3wxmpD
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHYrzXX6E
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxJqB3wBjs
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDArgoHNviF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUM9IhYPZ
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgSFFdq9Zg
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZANl0sh607
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6lzzwPdAa
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH8q5kr4hh
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6MOtZPPvZ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJWiQkfetV
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnuVqBK2lz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlGAYyKMPF
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzhjG8wudW
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd8M5OWBN4
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWHrnfQwvi
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXieba8go5E
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv1VqTBUZd
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJOhEL6cl
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKwul2vwOn
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ6rrZ6N6l
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMMZIU1iyc
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJnY2X2l7
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fXOsyxCUw
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq79dHQNhtg
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1H2JJF0gk
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkFBb4v129
All of the American officers stared at him.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMeuF6EavE
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGsqFgUZ0U
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz9lTbiufj
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuoELa23pF
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNzhYmpGYB
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0KBd6TSdx
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33qrqk0Ozp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5LisnBGPQ
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxAxiasVD3
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3murjGvxsO
"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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbSHaMJl0

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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9FDO18L1m
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmfmGbQ4OS
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXY6x5735E
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXcORDzXi0
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcxbqjO15w
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0RuNHe08l
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeq0vAdfRl
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxICYng14
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjvOzdwX0i
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTzx3ic7x5
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1idgoW1JfL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc3xM8dUQ0
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAzuvuFYRx
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSsA4KDdYx
"Even though it is all in vain?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPZ6mV9Aao
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpROBcYTfRF
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhm5vAKLUI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHqDMcrL1
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYkUBofLM0
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF9OjIaB5p
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCw3AtdvgI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtyrodDieb
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiKp5fhYb8
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Eq4IizFg
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqARJh5kS3h
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jcpr3Lsg
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kFlHhl217
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqskbjuvrx
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOzTJraYT2
