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?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfOFfhlXT2
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKXqJikf9G
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XMNgNTB2
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf56fpinluz
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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaednmTBnig
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EXZUMRsXD
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Z9TenUrD
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe79HW7JEG
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh6tgpldPv
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ylPFql2o
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0PFahf8aa
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5M5nmJ1h4
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeeyNFJpvH
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd2SASadQf
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4DreVose1
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OrRKUW2Yu
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VlX2P02vy
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIqXY2O8xO
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcfJj7td1e
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKqA1KqbOY
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWrLkJOA6a
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPmj3TzSGp
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWwvXcLovb
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mkMqkS7u8
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarinvQFATd
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpZ5k8Y74R
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjkp258QD
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx0i4vUzPh
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHSt8Ae7Gl
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF8ltaNmP4
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC4XtiokpR
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnZ1MYdH6R
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfGNXYT0k7
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyS0Uiw1KS
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkMgUZjIEU
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JmOtbiREk
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrSjePoyqY
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsccONScb1V
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIgs7OvVf8
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0txR0K3eT8
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGrDroN5Hh
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDmesbUT53
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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOnOvNjmvG
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCRyWrVf3Q
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3nsbUd1T4
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOg32raFtT
"What are you doing here?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcED8BRPAI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpe0wuysHb
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eyU0RQocl
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGn4Ihd6yq
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOXFSQrRf1
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuHSOVsyC
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMDyvwB879
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cv41VHg1f
"Who?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TT7YER1Mi
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZ1p82uYH
"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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N9tGHX1rg
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDcOB0zpst
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMrrETICZ7
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7SVm93mN2
"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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HkMjz0WXo
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE7RmYfw5E
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WoESteWJ6
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XRufIgadG
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtgNSMekRf
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyNO25aFCV
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4btuGzC3f
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarCmL2eKx1
"Why should I leave?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdeeQf7ip
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH3iAn7Q2D
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrW9mV8C6z
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTCYMqzYn
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6I0cWecaY
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYFtBrVvNT
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrJO2Kc903
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFYVdjNAVp
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQMZFQASH8
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuQ4IBsi2
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxALOe7rec
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxXKz6zXEj
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1yPSwnBYc
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva2ttTLNkb
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?964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7xpOfQZ92

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx8mNNHmck
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq3s99YRdu
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsoxo2x8v
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfL4LYb4S
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. "964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaP2SGUqyL
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPl6aGPHDS
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYHOI8pda0
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZUF4GwO2A
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2DHU6IO5D
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmB6WD7psw
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnfMoFJeWZ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr7iDLj3Hd
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOnhTpS9r3
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgGbInH33Q
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUT3vgnJg
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytYUpLud89
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWjl4OKMTs
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpvyOuBoZ
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?!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULV7lueLck
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUVQNkCD8f
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6xIMQ2c6n
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzDkcptM5v
"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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJr2IoUtIY
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmg4x1rFd6
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYkMM6zWpG
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKV9vX8ri5
"I wasn't told of any military police units."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u7FnbYY8e
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLe98lBLjY
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViQ5IyrWD0
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV8S1jvDNv
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-"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GC4waPOuC
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXaXPSiaI
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEfprb5Wkq
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JrNPxNWWv
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FPxTvCnmL
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrgWYZFUSw
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXP7AkFD4S
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr8sAbcHcb
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9xrwkfwBB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsAo4vOJY9
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb2MHvhKpr
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSA7tEFrMo
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRagaASex1
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODH5V3O9Nx
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnmXMyri5x
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzIOCNRI6a
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiP1EOD0G4
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHZKKyyAa
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoV7Fp3gk
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkVscb5OcW
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzPtZnv49
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEy2Wlkp8p
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSqCPP0Ob7
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKzCW72Y07
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML43NoT1uL
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Npod07SC
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeOsBBCVti
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDzsJZRPK
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22kRegYgmk
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYOdr0q8K9
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxaGqicETP
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFR0pti16C
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0AZmnPZ4v
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos82AiGfbo
All of the American officers stared at him.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLWJqdklNB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfOpRbLWMA
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rzBSP1Noe
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRLo9ODKRJ
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqpg5zYB5S
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXooduIbFfL
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2g3igyard
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH025tzFLo
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF4MN90RgI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp3jrDefq1
"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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFH4IwLL9

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIAdxzYdAe
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxmhdju5Ek
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHYwOptQzs
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk4o8TTMTJ
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtCNj5GgP2
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pBJnS1AUk
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlW2pcjzSq
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeoFU38RJS
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDdvMkM0fi
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCET3Zdkyy
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX703mHSPu
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTwMQdpvwU
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN6UW696CS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJd9w7ROTd
"Even though it is all in vain?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQcoqbQwVS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkuTUoliG7
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtHM9EljuX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHwivB49UQ
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBzp6rWNcg
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlQtYsSLv3
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiliDeL6GFG
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HTI6fO8h1
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7lyCoAxGh
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0TfRg2Z9f
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcXEqIPJaM
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaKUTcRxIt
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuMRYbpyMc
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXn4ttutKY
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEpF16tf4d
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeoscLGd1o
