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?842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jKRnCYLsv
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5iadyldht
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y6c2jfJPW
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfFsUwbrbM
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?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpsproQzuQ
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52MBW3pvb
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM0lWsmpN0
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIauXUcLT0w
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXU2rTNP3b
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0oSIR0Kgo
"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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzdpejPepk
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeZNZcFO00
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4u7GQHXi
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld5znI7dL4
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoFTTRRFE
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bUfGUc15K
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxTSMssNe7
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYiVTONPu1
"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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt24AxmlEbQ
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxyKHCkA6G
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWhpRYp6Z
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOV7cl5VMg
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha9x9YevKN
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO73JZa0oB
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlEaYFUD9u
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyhLh93JT1
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv1PegjOcD
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3i3fWRrKx
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRAxHX4fDS
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtEoNnRtQm
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS3NqKOXMV
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPAUrOnX6T
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2yfKdqOCI
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaccdsdLcq
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFC4G8ITNf
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrDJie8VpX
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcrHuLt9uf
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJiMQP0JP
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY7ZlnSzIF
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3df5pxcrl
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Zv0tOTEv
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegbMHSjifE
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?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FhoGl8FXO
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wqX9dyejM
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdn8eeFUI
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgPOdN7OBm
"What are you doing here?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2naUra2o
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaENXbM4X4
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazYYr1dB2n
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKdqCDVlg9
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GAgliEAEx
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAPwTI1puw
"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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ4rSHx9B6
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIv1zf5H1d
"Who?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloWRBHnSgi
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkteA1jtiNH
"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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqCnR5k7Qu
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu7jgmggVL
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB9TF1cNQl
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLgCmC3hMP
"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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbydE7Obyf
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoGOqHhWac
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Z0tb1a7j
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPgD5drht
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcuhmsXfI9
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yK8kwZpie
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86XtHqPtU
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GWPVAVkRm
"Why should I leave?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUf01XuWGe
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ZuojJsCj
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNaKFKTlo9
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyWvNiIee8
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoEsEZLVaG
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuJBOJH1Oo
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLMi1OhM0l
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI6mv6NKWW
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdW3NBudPz
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE1EzuD7LC
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmN8BYn0qw
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx6rMUg9Jn
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWApToCdJvL
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36XCitzDhq
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?842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcitRX0hi0g

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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOYsIrbVb9
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76XWBe7aq
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppbSeaygVV
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVW34xG96G
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. "842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfTwdlnPuz
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3UGBwqs4o
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0H984ZpsB
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrEiHDui0G
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWOOBaOtoZ
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujsHLomOnR
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyGATVINy6
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsy9DzLBes
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxvX2ShZs
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOg0lhbM3W
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecSRNwEdRr
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9nLGJe7c0
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSKaGR4tW7
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FfGGh2YCt
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?!"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb689iysPt9
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yo1mmEFs0
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hq70iW0FV
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIxx5UC7Cw
"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?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7umPo4XKx
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUDeeqmDvi
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XrcKKHERs
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGcn8M1uZt
"I wasn't told of any military police units."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWidRr3TZMI
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNWimR4mBG
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhxqZ3vJyo
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy32gDAFz0i
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-"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJmledG43P
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQle9vzdc01
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhrX8AJQtj
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAGbM4Yh3k
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQpAJYReop
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97oAL9DVmF
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHsdeCCKFs
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPB67d3TQ
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wDu4LeRvp
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uXvJHtN8I
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFAxkgs359
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPfc8JRJyY
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglt2MkQmet
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBxFXOe9Mr
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJVlN6awqH
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYmZtssPWf
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ACkFOGHHF
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabVDHNwXI8
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjljwebIAnq
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kGsCjk4LU
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uCaUQYmR1
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWBwqInLWq
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXga15IOZTD
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkJJLUOoQE
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMfS4vwDEj
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM6OIiJ5vz
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFlJ1u4Yv
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqHDlxXI6N
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnueCkUOBZ
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yaTGn8TRP
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfLMwa0Jn0
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1wSQBHl1a
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WDCOWx5za
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKW6Mq8z4
All of the American officers stared at him.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpcJcD1J5u
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9zrd5ck5q
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP32lERr8Qs
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4I6ZrdAcn
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSt7JIv0LW
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGTBlLzIC
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjJx46YLR9
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvHx8gNYW1
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGt1Qm4Yhu
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMRD2xydoK
"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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ib5Tg2NAw

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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJUrfuGZj
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDYZFarvK9
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqyDKjb8T
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqgCKlV2P8
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.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAqi3FWU0J
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRyHrofgcW
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLm94sN9qF
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun3DyoMNvQ
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrybyJvMqk
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF2rfgWBI7
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTsR5B8dXm
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3iVCjaDZC
"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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJHKtbu8Pm
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0RZbpHYG3
"Even though it is all in vain?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDdrp9Uyi
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4LipyDfDS
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMYNmduH4n
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi02PbIe7M
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGkVT81CoL
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8P73YHeks
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR237loldDy
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRFdLlkVyc
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7B1cIE22q
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk755ILonNV
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR4BiugisZ
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxgpYRp8nZ
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."842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTdfYqOl0z
842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0dYSa9nYW
