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?935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPw9u4HFBh
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcvODIxfUr
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi2UaBYtLr
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRnlKn3bfp
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?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RTgNlt94
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sWxhZhEA4
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJHa5S6HKB
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gJmiZ4z2V
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvbXFHG05f
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrWVUR388i
"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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90fJDI5aQR
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IJpHYG8NR
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmpnB0keOL
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZI7inSxY8
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQCuFs5hk
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG03QVeVW2p
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ160ctnRgZS
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31zvaza6yN
"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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs8vcHqVEV
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1upZeCdVY
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWwMhjyrOM
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDAiwuYZ1h
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzQaGJBKKo
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUixJztdsjl
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGSY7YdFzh
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8PZsUkWZl
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69zgZMkWh8
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy3lk6bzRz
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vvzU4e0VI
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30IDsdf2T
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oHGi9SG4r
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHRzwpdBFb
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7nAJvaZaq
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2yF5XLB9R
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbbgMKWThS
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA7iUkPrDs
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqf8FOg1yi
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8ybbyOWDS
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc7ewCY3bU
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPAF7hN66C
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNlI47lVO
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHb4ThtHLf
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?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLEbLzXsAI
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHV1pGXXJM
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQKpOm1Rcy
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq27L4bWkq
"What are you doing here?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTVqKKtuq
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5yeNORfbX
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFPYNfZOLj
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJLPceE3fN
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilqsUcMWS3
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQa2Z0SBt4
"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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBqNthwwYz
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66oIJIswzB
"Who?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR3ol0VSqA
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENuouutmFD
"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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPltdQOoyg
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua64fvz9ko
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ25lHejsO
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8OFaYnyui
"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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T1XxvoPhQ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XiaLZ2YLi
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQowtorjedL
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtWPdZMnU2
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGcJ6VjWOs
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTyGmmiZgW
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIqGd71dcj
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwTEeTneDr
"Why should I leave?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3DVN2y6Di
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ABEtHFNG
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rpAUWLIY9
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyiomgpODU
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcS6AMpRzx
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcKPGbv8lf
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4JeXplmez
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMOvbkg4mT
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaSMHpBGyB
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsifEEjiUqV
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ70NNUXE5
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UeS75m0rw
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ga7KFDM5A
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABjWxcxADu
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?935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGW79WfW2a

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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDo69xhz9i
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7F0OHeDJw
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zi3UQM1C2
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYro9lIuJn
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. "935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SzoCZc1Yi
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vcQntGdfe
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPi9iiZsVR
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwyfoecl1a
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCXG8Ljz1v
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt3B1z3Oea
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbb8N1WAtH
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rHOH6vP5z
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgv2GAFzV6
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe96A0yE1UT
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nq5rBeh7Y
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFDS55hZ4S
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEFEtDJgAO
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3bkdaHJvF
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?!"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyWunK0NFI
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYsBFcFF2
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKUJDKcCG5
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRrMpxPRk9
"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?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms6U135M45
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct8baoogFG
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96k6xJXve
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaxwSABwuQ
"I wasn't told of any military police units."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdx4d6MaID
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WS75mjDxU
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0sNxm9WE5
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnBX6uX2V1
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-"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO82VvUwOmn
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF4ZoNn2ae
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpEpuxUljK
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkOaYEqNxq
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEdIg0crVj
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9ahPcq3Xu
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CGYNquOV9
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBox3uqfP1
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7xWM5UFWn
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPz4iC55Hi
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIO62xzhxU
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYi0spOZdz
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0mgR9s9pz
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdkYZQ94Sm
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroIvIpkIFv
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfIP4jIIWK
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXbMKhM7Ah
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT2qvg9C9Q
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1B7DGIBw
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUjsIt5oIJ
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcCcZhlI2y
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRw3SnpYdq
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6pQjxEXH9
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5r7lD6Yn0
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8B4wRWjx
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQzw1Co8FX
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzpcwKsZB
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BD0UtBUy
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVouFcOQWwN
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs6tQRdaPp
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHTla5agei
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYDjzGmlO
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH1RHWywMQ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bz1J75fqr
All of the American officers stared at him.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65gXLWHZV3
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIQfj8zpen
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIEED5K8Wp
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekzdhqViOZ
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWTXmYto0B
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuweM8FFMf
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0azsQ9KIwA
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdhPwEdJrN
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfqB1k9UjG
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitj4NOREF9
"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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3iehN54jV

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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5bthMlSD3
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZpoB4hmd
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxETrKYAUuT
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBu0QZaSt5
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.935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTBCx0HuTv
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD7tEup724
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QiW2UaLQ8
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB0YlNz4ec
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYsqYAlOcU
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAmZXGcZBl
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vmgShOSDF
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWtVbFCrpd
"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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ4Hd2FnmI
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyYglWetTL
"Even though it is all in vain?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7zuOUnEn9
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBPLpFqs29
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LnI0OQos
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZRTCBpmHT
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqHGmEHftF
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXjlAjuZPM
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwyxg8CbH4
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2oY0EWnfU
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnRBMz8WqB
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZCp1UEG21
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNLgtWKqrN
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhdXvG7eS6
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."935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0LNHddnHQ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzZRmXGggA
