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?910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiivXPErZt
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN66HNOXtM
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY8eo85xSL
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRf58eAQXh
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?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGEvx3olkU
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxjFMK7HjX
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu72QawTfWO
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1PFUEKSNM
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijQK43zos1
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNEQY9QeLX
"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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi6D7wxI3O
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilOkKpSdOJ
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsGEcU41Tm
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLPci58sbW
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokfxoBa60G
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Ac1bO0Bd
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XfQmwnejD
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTii3LZW5ll
"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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJvjPOwHha
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwnW0X6SHl
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5gnOro6kb
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJsa6IcG8S
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5fXNVfNIN
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqAzLs5qrt
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHDsqpkRNC
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8isET9oh9Q
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RtoCLQuJQ
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzIrO87Zb3
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzASZ2IE6j2
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsdrZPwMkn
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt0h7OPjIk
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnWc6x4ceb
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPLwXTi7eF
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJEMMi2DTV
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD4zYQGjeS
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ibjdXsHcw
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RLBKZXozT
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkaDR3QSYv
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIhqxSoqZC
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CncbTGk3R
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFdFpr2Sz
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxo5N4r5Me
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?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUVtrkvOxB
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHxrdgzoqc
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlR06XkoDs
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvepuuUrkw
"What are you doing here?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UlRFvFxrz
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMMyka15TU
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDLhDrZYm
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyTbslikvp
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2VqCYGov
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4neNjrVLlP
"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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPa72TuElO
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfZ0Yj9ejs
"Who?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4HsMwGnUr
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmzSjlfTG5
"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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBe6o0mrjH
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbCltEiHZe
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp1XM2Chpx
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOskMgXwt
"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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vmfqEsal9
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6RLc0GOWf
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZJz1b1iS5
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWQ2HakFyo
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgoRbwoGQ1
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuB8lFz8IE
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdlHy1by26
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdvDRZQLqX
"Why should I leave?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOvZXqmqgq
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNghnB4Mlw4
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2HptAdlM8
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hvsNa60RW
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSdONrexu
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDFv5Inj8K
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4NWeGopQo
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokKXiuzr6C
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG7lsTfq3a
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1kJWsPOQ6
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb627EGZfI
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwRwiuZY4X
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMDebHdL4s
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7X2GUfcdd
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?910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMASv86rEC

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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwx02nhYsv
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjXEQgIMiL
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzjR5kb8L3
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIMST5JB62
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. "910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXrGoFSID
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1epgzbjy6Z
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRbHksKqHs
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E8RwyTPvO
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzjpRSs7F5
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h4Y6LZorY
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGcHrkC2WW
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJ8flT14p
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOP9dXTeeD
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6LESQiHD
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr2ndPv6ro
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1jW4yfPju
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdfd88nXf6
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytquUoTGu7
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?!"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgAfhp3UI7
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTkbf510BW
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e97mIOjrP
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn4bBWbcnf
"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?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6izV6sX8v
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFtEZcjRgZ
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGNweK4Of
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgAxRCax24
"I wasn't told of any military police units."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbxKwoATEO
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqVDangnjJ
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ANaM7BQg
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8in5XVk9Q
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-"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXfUNrCvw
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH8sBYEvbT
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgnaizVqNG
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51eQMA1gKu
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3XAcaHAx8
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWTk2iklev
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoyrh3FZ9n
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT0RKqjRcH
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLDgd0EgEL
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IYhou73S2
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTAlfs8Xgg
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIBXrxg90v
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KUaCwegN
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlL3VNegdJ
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3k9fx68IX
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAzQX5jouY
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXTUypuwp
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDDBYDHfnj
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CgphZNs4B
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S9nOgvorz
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WK6TY7mDG
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8mcvbT34I
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsZO966nD2
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9RI9vb17x
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb9eYnKBmH
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JROl8AYhE
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1WBcCqEvJ
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCffcZxUQPg
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HslzNDpoC
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmbDu401do
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V0geuk4n7
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3BoKC7O88
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bt70xX4Xs
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvX0g4SDk1
All of the American officers stared at him.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9THL19Xvw
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYByTTzAOB
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw8v1SFTw1
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MbAadA5wC
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc8kkujUct
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXJS3M3DKs
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0gLgl8b2
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JrSP3wf5B
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUJFAYofwP
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLQNSmaCfI
"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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIiYeJXsih

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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQiRQ6qXJd
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYk2KH7Blq
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12FxCtEOxP
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVeKLJ8PL8
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyeFxEhyFF
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezRTMjdP4h
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGMl2luaZV
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSUicek4q
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2iPwaGFNk
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZahcf3sSf
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS1fXfdOxs
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7xTfxxhOu
"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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMAAwbTg2x
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTJbIMNYnv
"Even though it is all in vain?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmwslrtNc3
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yZ4Cvy9N
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB19XvKfKwd
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOhd52EVAu
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKy4gHrjYV
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIwfhj77K1
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fxgDsgpl
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyP6WVGl3p
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGZUaHGlgA
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonIrHlFEIU
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmVNabo4y
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoMYwUuo09
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."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6F9PI1qZN
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ1QTDSOBU
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.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Qi4RHX12
