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?945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXdoUrQcbp
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TbJ3GcJ8l
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7e6E8F8eW
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6dPuM45Pd
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?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGZfU9dVW
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Q2ssYWSK
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmguFyu59
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEixEeZyLJk
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c9XeGCMdU
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdhlqnzUwZ
"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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JOk2MKTLA
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIuGIqXeCX
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm0MkYo8v9
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLDWLXt3zQ
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlbnheuGG6
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwZT8MqjoN
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP9wLF9D2K
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt7774nMma
"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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDvXlSphgE
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIDFc0ykF5
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVK2c8j5zP
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLarUcmv59
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RuAROKwVK
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey9gAequCz
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcMob4K8ve
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUHoidcCqV
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUN3Z6ZmrO
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ1YTU9wTm
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGFnPnAVon
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIF04gKYjC
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKfnWbqg76
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKhkNBx5uW
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG8SgqrOGK
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SgJknCckt
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV7V9ldCzM
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B0oCsj8a8
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiCQ39UqOW
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12sJrPIoIH
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMrO1dgsc
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJYPdHjUVv
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDsvNPOUZe
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0WRBMwIqw
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?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZenUdYaVJj
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9iESnTQUQ
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3qIbMlYf
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EWyQmycJQ
"What are you doing here?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJm2BkLxof
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihSzv5mhNY
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSbHsbWYtX
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80YoUDGxci
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCWcmwBIwy
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuFmeCMWL5
"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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuQCRUEpnf
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXGkVhg4DY
"Who?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfr2QAbb11
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHztXkBrbT
"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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LSwHW8jzw
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZ6Yu2wpo
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcki8kIvhIO
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU05Bq4K4Z
"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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLHNmfP8tM
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1elxhyB6U
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25qEwXVf27
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK12eBXfIr
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35eFR5BPMc
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFG2Exxpkz
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM5myCEYOG
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyRloTeTFM
"Why should I leave?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs7IrfMEKN
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgvuMONjhe
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ682UVvfhpo
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kIWSv8T8d
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdgrLXtu9G
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUlPCCArzx
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zq3cxa3rb
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcxHpIkA0Q
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYUQvm3Hp
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVlwWkg5oM
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiajpwkyRV
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjCDUYfQt
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUAynHmY3M
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86DHA1mBaU
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?945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p4RpajyhV

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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3kC6dExcT
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C6mtjzoL0
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4tCJADjpU
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo18a4af3V5
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. "945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBcteqAG7L
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4njlcPqiN
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGq1lAE5j7
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU1Zb1PRyy
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLN9LM18hh
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dz74i5ce1
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshiyC72gxS
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv52QTEgQg
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQFeUK1oLd
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnmN4nlZ7a
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KDND8exH9
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAyuGeqtCW
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS7IexAG6H
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkvWa00oXq
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?!"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkRjPCkdCU
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8pMZsdklZ
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYH0wcYh97
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT0pGdiTwB
"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?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprpHSfCrLK
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4qxnoa19h
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItNPDGnwP0
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFSKNsBdyB
"I wasn't told of any military police units."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4uECrE3f2
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNf7q7z5j
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqaGkWNtaH
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh1jc0nFnc
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-"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26kGs5DgQC
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcouopahZq1
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmj6l3BzOI
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDmC01cEKQ
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe5ACyR3z6
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjxOYyUlB
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMBk58dG0R
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b3u31bL1D
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt71BTYQSq
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiUsuuT3w8
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqeRk7SFpu
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gPmIcL4dX
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNHzyXJoO9
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPvMPfmj24
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcEtInMNLY
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEEXrbrBnc
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOK8m9V3vn
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OzakhnkFf
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOm6H9Ph35
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VSvhoU3LW
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDkn0MYQYD
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavJh5Gyq4V
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64uWRD1Vz
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQahjk9LsUs
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6NqGqeZ5v
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1jbdSO0ce
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgUG2N4oi8
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz05JgIcaj
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQmacxfpUC
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUFJGuIaBe
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEjdyJaljN
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOO5D7Hxwk
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa8DVnstnU
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4b7ZHDDxo
All of the American officers stared at him.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe58aVqxgX
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iXgxPZePq
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUG1ZPuNTv
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8CEEhei4V
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriEUMw7prP
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFsaPSdHuK
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcks9egeyis
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu9WyImKUv
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSezwVNnNK
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Z0rdX2hX
"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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0A12p0UVv

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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8AO1SQCaa
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XLTXeNlJ
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj2JplO8wf
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElebIo0YND
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.945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8YuZAUzC
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe473pnjXL
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8e1pPuncu
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTuPyz4Fz
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BWu2HWzkh
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hh2cLtfnP
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3o3H8C2L
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9k5CKHpd
"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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsngpYln2v
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XQhha4t7
"Even though it is all in vain?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQOgdNmiV
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zACZkHJh
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1duzHNTrdj
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ad6iDj76e
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CKccneqHs
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Dw6mgMFK
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyFLRPBYma
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnixXpqPFM
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHW8KHEUqe
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcANB4eueff
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oXznzVKRR
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGyvQpntS5
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."945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYwbQorA8C
945Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydpmFYMQt
