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?918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3PKgfSqPM
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg2PYYxZci
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3bJdozs7
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1VTeYdw1L
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?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiDBfrIenD
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve7uBUbVl1
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg9ELQo4dr
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgyESiuMxW
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXalLBxCpe
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzhDnyc9ly
"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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvwPL5e5Fy
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2JkF1vPCX
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bx2LYkYWc
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXUXC1dHv7
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5fztRfQFG
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK23C0rq5D
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdhpdnvbBR
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvfP4U1vU0
"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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBksz9iWkN
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUmYWuD99R
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWL6s9M5GU
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LjNWA87jB
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Kdi67rLU
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2sdzMXIB
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvd6FFVEF9
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevBdolr0H0
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKADFC5t4fn
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ0VKR99Vw
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtFz4L5DG
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP78gSdUHQ
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrBxfHNGmR
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXzrVFZHdw
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQh8XD4QET
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOVkFQDXd8
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHQatr8y7l
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtobDqoDL6
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHUV8ijLAY
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9pAdy5Ubf
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoap7FeRMXE
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXqTiNNZgR
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4QBjLlk3M
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgny7jYPV5
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?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiD9T71S4X
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzomjf7GpY9
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaiAJR0eMB
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3wtqF0V5t
"What are you doing here?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k9m14GuxH
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcyPCz1aeG
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1hZuK1yS1
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpK3Pjk71t
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItDo4TaBBS
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmVzq2Q29n
"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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZulZbs5Yq
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0By8TT2ES
"Who?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawaYhjYHeV
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtJNlDJGLa
"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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WfvGlHT5x
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfMwcZfNvO
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8xGbDY2Yo
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOgRn2q1hf
"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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhj0zRCHRD
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxedz4eCvR
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDLIp1F3G
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjarMs5RZEk
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHRGbrGj7K
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgNzTQviy3
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZq77BhQvW
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB2eiYVeJH
"Why should I leave?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vrJ45RqAb
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ppv7wtnpp
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3PTr0MAua
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLqS7VKFsx
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZltUxXyJcx
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0pgHsCZh
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3VLC8S98i
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5rlThIww
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosGX05vX6x
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ10Met14V
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOLehPwUQy
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOcBBWPyC
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1XmClh9Yc
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLAHl4Wbl
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?918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQcdzBtWGv

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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59vKYFcrGB
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkfnXI0P6Q
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z8sn3szkw
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOqFhITZ7I
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. "918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMPBCVypG7
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJAt4vJOxA
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpTbtzkv2p
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL65wK9e0S
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQ5lvfYPc
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq0i5UdLx2
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDuoZQ0c0f
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90M4zNrzCP
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoL4WdwmZK
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcpKJggqpA
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzXidLQTxY
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHzJa7qTz
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxLLEDkoc6
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoYMZfISbo
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?!"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLw9ChbyaK
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XRYYQROBB
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb71M2HLuf
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSFIt5vlaD
"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?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaNCtYILjj
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzPBpPC2Y0
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATs3yCBFXP
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxAnbwtv2Y
"I wasn't told of any military police units."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc38B5qP9w
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEWkYupBHg
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVI4tL60yx
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmTiP6C4pQ
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-"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLUqWbAkyK
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMSwzGiaX
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkIfSczto
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vYIIUpqh
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF4oEesHsu
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1IvIS2QNO
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXMvN0eYS
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t7u4nbDuo
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDshAg1Tc
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfBIQXtXe6
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv3czVufHI
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF6f4BnN01
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bEdQ8wDaO
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZOp8CoAhc
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v0m7WELeX
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTcL5Mlb68
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZRJqIcOVI
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi21hLhsLd
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBKt6IS07
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDrjfq1MGF
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIUOC3zBO3
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD50nzcaHV
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2N0Ec6PsZ
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVPpV5plSe
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1c9hcwhFg
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgU2gI0ddz
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7bsl9of5k
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBn4lmWKqE
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWM83IpKq
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1i9PEdXZV
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrsApux55b
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sIQDCSaks
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkuOFAszKi
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7cp2ToiV
All of the American officers stared at him.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1xYhfiKrw
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7E8f7e1bQ
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKDUAelffZ
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV7YCte1HV
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawUv6bGJuL
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYt9pVQ6aS
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYKohGp0CY
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJcNz32bAf
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79OwbYNGNc
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP63cwROir
"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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDlfbhHDuU

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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cpxjMzOaJ
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWJkAEhsqu
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaTlsICl74
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ZLXzkcTP
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.918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O3GvSNwd9
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU9j318Zbn
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGKLt464bp
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDTuTg89E
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDyj84dY5Z
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4TE8GOTyb
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysjn5PCz2c
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdFXuXrdYh
"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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYE5LWMXQC
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9Wzv9Ywu
"Even though it is all in vain?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O99KoUNp6
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdf5sgU1fk
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXIsNVGevi
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVy77QmMYc
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUeQnE7wP
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xq7TK2yXE
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAekOTpuOB
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX1PKRkq1p
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IksYbCjsc
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudqAMnJ7BV
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lYXGJ6vRy
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4tpQMcJEl
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."918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBIrrLmPHP
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEocqxOoEM1
