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?974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2qAdfTdzI
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJHMhVYrY
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJyqWCwZOz
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawusg2zumy
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?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa4wdFl9YV
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NYxzcsMv7
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjwnhUeBi
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePOKsfPr2f
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSnCVgddID
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELpBjMXm9f
"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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzdKqiQBMU
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8juC4p59WF
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xzCoVCSr2
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5am03faXz
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPVMhQLm8
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6bh9V5hEC
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvJ6GCKNv
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4f5Q8OOOv
"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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwpoyiD2o7
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O7x7xQEhW
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIO4flvBme
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHkcNHUk5W
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJWkCVoqXa
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjBNiVPgYt
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMSv9469uR
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpTeVcm9gq
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhJA0JDtva
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86Sdl6v9N
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDWlAngPnq
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JZnogOTk0
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcCqDW92mV
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGxCh4ur7G
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVB8nYOjDC
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6MNYdS9Bx
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F4dxXkjng
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjFxv65Nmr
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN0JVKYnbj
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFVNAQYIfJ
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl2ziuwExE
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoJBAziGvE
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4erm7gWOPz
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo7rtPESQD
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?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyinCKMnQZy
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJEUhOshYU
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3SXn2PfZl
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhUthOEfwh
"What are you doing here?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqakFRSZyiY
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19nBlWj5jz
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6UvebMOpF
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldrN45torf
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQgiF2VEpi
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4j3WzlPrs
"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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqA64OmAdV
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJKfQTny7L
"Who?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGuIiWmml7
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0jXT76XTo
"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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjq7rHq8Wm
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDxJWGVFLq
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6HdBfQRtu
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK5HutbIiU
"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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcwRvBuuwb
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzovyzZb8Oo
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOT1PRI5Y1
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdftt58O6c
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn5jhQP2iB
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpSzuXTljY
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIkcXIKaGe
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZct3xrKV2
"Why should I leave?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvAzbqUJ9Y
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn3VIrDxOx
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBDxdegK0c
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybooZL1Xaa
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEeZTyRPj2
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeey2acsWc
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8aJpPo4Ev
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM60mBXqXSV
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKwbYnimOZ
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6pnuneii2
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdg3V7E6oQ
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMsGGVkBDM
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kBaIG8VLY
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i7xEZwQoB
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?974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D23haiUPr

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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEbTSgUMVg
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxXn0baiwu
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LujmKa6BT
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81rWsGyBhK
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. "974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnUTXz31nt
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RhoLEavnX
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcVoO0F1on
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHjxuBf7I
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ801jXmWnxP
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElPG1ZPMGe
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9H9Sb8tHE
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmJivPu9yF
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkKaamf0cA
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC002h7MGf
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGIoC5clOX
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAppK234Rn
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh7keDl95H
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0ThYTWQ9
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?!"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8usCPHhz
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4TVFx7LY0
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuv3OaWs8s
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpi0q28WRC
"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?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g4W0LDY83
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKuQYVU4Y
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Pid6RjeN
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXw8e07qMT
"I wasn't told of any military police units."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5RwW7GTi
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uV9mqwNXJ
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe55IANpz2
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5fs33ECrE
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-"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMJR7mhYIh
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhzE5k6dGv
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP6h9WA4UJ
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQskNCu1nDH
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUnDuObxyO
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlgbdDpftS
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a7OrQ3TSm
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0sRMXni5
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy8o7vrFN3
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6dxa4atMc
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPaNpE8k3E
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVueH2D4t7
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWB5qFlvj7
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTe6DrFXtp
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX3jV34Uta
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKZA3aA0Jf
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD0EtAO4TD
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSQm236778
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36bA5qhpLa
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gAEZOfC72
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJxaTppgm4
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97G41XFhU
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi8NJXf9ex
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu9hErvnCH
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwarDyUn2p
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32LItSAHRx
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4n0XlI49U
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv56hfXe44
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJOWFPQ3ma
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ibh61JkPs
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1smyEsVOl
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaNXDLnBmu
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfcqZFIAgs
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rNXHOQ70
All of the American officers stared at him.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ51KjXwjtr
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI1WXMXmvY
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjnBEHPYnR
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSj08Cj6Hn
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzldZMVQB33
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3VdMfiFCF
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tHGLc7AF
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN0QuI7Tsj
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wJZoXP5Qv
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnEFbK8YmQ
"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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P4vAfkcCb

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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxt236jT7Y
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgk366Lg4x
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWea9w6MrgI
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS3tnLucyP
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.974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Ie2oN9du
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhMr0U5GYl
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYsyXKdCTq
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9b6dXk7Z5
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLIsAU0EH
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM1xKul56o
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhP0sk8KXg
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LMeXVLmyZ
"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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUbntQk4S
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmEKDiY7tS
"Even though it is all in vain?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX9BQz7g58
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1hfmafW7b
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQWed2L2dJ
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6C7DDDfsG
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHiQDA9EtB
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtarDTQa1Pa
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlARHyCOGDS
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvpjOgflLC
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguOC9kCgVf
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGvBaatGL3
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuP2Reif48
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjTN4VAROT
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."974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51QDZexwt
974Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWhi3bkylv
