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?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBXdIrQWmV
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc6PN4gUHD
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE01ZR67nk
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZa2wjH0Vp
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?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGQzPQLAXg
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOB0kcXLna
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsujPUuGRK
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWb3h4X4jq
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdllvror7PU
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOeipoPgXi
"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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrY6ifLPN4
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHBihhbZtT
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit6VXHTSvF
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdWRamoElo
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNdUyeXKpx
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULsUyCRc0a
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gbFhgEhj0
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ00KrnMz02
"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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapJLlqCNt4
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDNquJeRN1
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fwd0yiYwp
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqzflPce0p
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohMwLY7Ejt
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtYi1WlzU
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AHmnPFZa3
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGgY8E4kSK
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8N0voran5
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe3XkyglX9
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYwLUQZUj4
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL40J3vtEg
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsAQV8j3Xg
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OhWLswzmo
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKjZTRlY3H
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4qSWyeire
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ph2bZpiru
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR47PcXyEqs
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyPPZKbxO3
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8VE8LeJhB
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFqRhHSxu0
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5VhHigAzL
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTmR70alVI
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdFzjZ4x2N
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?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA2OvsTVcj
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNh75TrEeG
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSySxUqU8n
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgUExrBndW
"What are you doing here?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HZbmJMatt
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wjRk8YJTV
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQAdcceMeM
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6mvRrRylu
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv9zlOPfmt
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB6d7NK6sd
"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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWRTGg3tMu
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84RIiWZuXT
"Who?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVRuQeWeyD
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqPkZOJs2v
"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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS1pjzxJCE
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mt8jxT2LE
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilAjJRJ3p9
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIpQyO0uBq
"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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXAKtzZj6I
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltNjGlREaR
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf2HXnW7qa
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhkTtfZnsM
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij1CRYBxwl
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCayQS1fr
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfMVzHeNlD
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35BJ1hENF6
"Why should I leave?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf98N9A3UT
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeDREVOmFz
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoAoMBwsmU
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXMliPCVPZ
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBlCgOMLzg
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQgBJLGlfD
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu4MRJ0bBP
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4k6kV8y1S
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxPx9Q3V3l
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsXUFd5lSe
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK1oXtmzCn
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeIIWWEEUZ
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZzhWao335
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7luukhLJa
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?977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqhxZaxwps

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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLEwNs9m56
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajvucoelRR
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nCsMOTr3C
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJVPvfiIrk
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. "977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIYxIjcoS0
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QihQjncV
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Jfilud2d
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv0ZKNaV0w
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3EfW0eRdE
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0ZZUhik2w
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1EhBiXneR
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5gGDdbZk
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37QwZdVGgi
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fuqzWmF1c
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvi8tBiPns
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSoVnJUxo
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAThcV9lVDx
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qsZ52MleU
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?!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7RdlZrSEY
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFupn3yiFOe
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGVnZylljL
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIEOIWV4td
"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?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWfx30Awsk
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABdBRNS4f
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnBQif0LAp
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzannRQUwwf
"I wasn't told of any military police units."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ41aX53Yy
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQHveUI17C
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8MFqak6M8
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwWWrisznN
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-"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR5bb3UqAX
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SLLZjWU2s
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHr9EN52xZ
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNNj4A6Sgh
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr8bUSsZsn
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp5NTyjuzE
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHh0kTmrFW
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3B2WQFFdk
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiummanUNL7
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxt3BY4bwq
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWozuZhvl1c
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYmv0xLRx1
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsAgGPLDtL
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ziAW81Gl
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoSkVAslDy
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoq3JBhZZw
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL5jHlOSPh
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUTxmjrPh
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYOdnqove8
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZokTWyj4HF
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhpV1f9qyq
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ZWmFM9pb
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IcVN2bvZR
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QgBR6EZs0
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenJj3xrpWf
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjB0s9PdSu
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdYyi9dkCA
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8i6pYcC2Y
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxI5pQ7Pfl
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OkWG3RsyS
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkLnuOlRjr
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1e9SLj2P
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sye78n8Rp
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrioRxerrF
All of the American officers stared at him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC7Bs2qBmw
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVDoU8EHO2
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHTUeMOctq
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P481SdYVy
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe86lHCt5fE
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41CwVkotVR
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B5qvwCgli
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUSKaEt2xe
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlz7mfTB1T
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwNHvdwzsP
"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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSio0YWGmD

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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskjrjRXMQV
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYxM1LGPd
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MpE5iJA6G
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4S25CspKc
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgIX27UtXn
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxTkLbDQY7
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN0Ui4q5gr
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeppEUdEvRE
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHar3waPq7s
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0fKQNxvzd
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHi1UK7BNG
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q6zDrAl9W
"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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aHTDEm4XF
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspShf11ypJ
"Even though it is all in vain?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeAM8b7xxq

"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcCDn1LecN
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxXprfFqAp
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7yoLI7X2K
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKjlNv4FSA
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjruUv2mSc
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawHHnZZYzx
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSPusGlGOf
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1llT8wZsB1
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P95tojlRI
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbg51DDkcB
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."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0rL7U6Ft1
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGFYDDk75c
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.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc06EndkX8
