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?843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosB1DkCyuI
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULcBF3Tsps
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkvuckndGj
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZPx3upCPJ
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?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuJEPYIs5s
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOnqTXP9wj
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcixWh1Yhb
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo1w6tGa7g
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1fgkSHqUT
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJARRhgDx9
"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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6SXlunAAo
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYX0qzRRlJ
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FGhExCR6M
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0bkvCeD3a
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDEbuwwEw5
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYkgtGvoCC
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWldGxYnjj
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAybrgzDcP
"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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiq8Lj9FYQ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL43HymUKn6
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbcabbP6Lq
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDYsNJqApR
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyflLatB2R3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzf48uK7e2
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsvL8Y5xSD
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm2sm7Y6rI
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMPMxGPS9q
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikBfr9OIHm
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv4U1xyXCR
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspudB0WW5O
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqQzEhbPm
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qHvong8vu
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx74Fti3yJs
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6N4mTgKQo
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230yyC853Y
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gacbR8C4B
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkeQrnsomi
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxiG51cCrq
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPufqK8rZ5
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXPHS311pY
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmlybbUj9
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdMIw05VqE
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?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ct8lMAml3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwOC5JUuqb
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnd9dyMLvs
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzuaocaRXe
"What are you doing here?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpgMBeJo0
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGKPwYMGTZ
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGbQ74aDzf
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR7Qr3rw6Q
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs4oOAAQVZ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dSLUmDEhE
"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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8cnU80RUm
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJo84QUew9
"Who?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6xcfbIFXB
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUf9WnSYW6
"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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZsFMyollB
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTTmiUgMkz
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKaLtm1q9O
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5UlIJ5tLI
"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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMloi7gAuc
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIaD8tm3Px
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpgaCOmskJ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx50PoQ69jr
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZAansNK8D
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7BFiGAPX0
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjetb5ML9rw
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMMzKNbcf8
"Why should I leave?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxGo8N1933
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFLm0RkOPF
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbwp9TreVb
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBU1EdYI9h
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGousFyUZq
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacayPT0jc
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O7uQu8Csj
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyb4KIcgLK
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqBDavrem3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYRh89IMhx
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHssvoWbomQ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vR71hEnFm
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lsOHdzNOv
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7mmWWJx2s
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?843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCd3Dw0zym

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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbasDIyM0Y2
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTVPx8dcgz
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKDVSbnVCN
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UdyR1fNSe
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. "843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMe3KPh6nS
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe0LwMM0nz
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3YfZRLb1
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XxUrclSOn
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbatpotikyG
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUc6fZC7Qa
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbqMytkMBV
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2IJfoyG5W
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6vFA2K6Kp
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPj0fyoldD
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeNB2lbBt3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0JQfdA5Z9
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYzOK125Q
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOkMFkKZd7
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?!"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wwxgykYSk
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2x6JJfuzn
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u5VybUL8i
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaMUD89EON
"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?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARweNmB3oc
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sz1Sv2E5Y
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8SQR3kkG3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa2rhySzIE
"I wasn't told of any military police units."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKo0RpbgZG
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYRmRdyKhB
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBgnj1xAjN
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOSUhtntkB
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-"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz0zLDjMpA
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNBeMUIKXS
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaJNSvKPEr
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ibg6bLqn
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiekr57oQSc
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOa11FYZH6
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J4MHSOc47
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnN7hlMXUE
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCM7MplEgW
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXoGguQo7O
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeIeUaikBe
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVDhT1ttm4
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPiBV5o6OL
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsmyBMNGaf
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c25iDQ3mq
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa979OKiYmn
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpSJ18SAM0
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Ivsf5mET
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r5ZQDnqRy
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Psjy6AMhz
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW2PyqoQRb
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqt323BPwI
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUWWbijPE
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lN0mBvgt6
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe7cJxhee0
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Cwl8Tszx
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zaC7ukirs
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaogKa57bQ3
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdjpeCVfs3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMlFqwkHYt
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpl5kUAzgt
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cBCbO41SE
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZruPe1Tj35
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigp2VmXXNO
All of the American officers stared at him.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FbUudRf1y
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9StqhuDFS
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxJiS6e1o9
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC66FDI0Wg
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRxTkhvv5X
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr27Yxz9A7A
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZCIZZeXX
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7crYLRtF
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6pkySS9Gu
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwDQcz1XUQ
"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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2lzBTiyw

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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NE4M16P5G
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDwfIuFgwf
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWuZB9yZ8H
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEKOElbS1b
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.843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSsZMUisSi
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6bYRR5gHb
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvnUiwZBpo
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO0yWPo4ft
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhOfqa8Zu
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT5n2JuYqD
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhVQH3oLPe
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkh7l9hcqX
"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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp0BY5og1X
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXlKcBzSsa
"Even though it is all in vain?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9sYkxttK
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIwDZ4kd37
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6gtMuvFkW
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8QdWToL93
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo547QpScwU
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcMsu2GF3x
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslnFBhJfjS
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOdfaHmh11
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk9t8CgJKL
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v9G7CgJu3
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpoofQ1UNK
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkKZiKfno3
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."843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihkD6tE6Js
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AGsmLUYsU
