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?733Please respect copyright.PENANAbApC9TmEXl
733Please respect copyright.PENANABMLS5sR1Cu
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAr92xTxmVbo
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9draw2WPx4
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?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAC951ku84yQ
733Please respect copyright.PENANAL7BlYUMdRK
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.733Please respect copyright.PENANAiM3ukznIg7
733Please respect copyright.PENANAf1Y4JDNPVa
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAOaGTe0H8CW
733Please respect copyright.PENANAfEumKPeFry
"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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAHBx44fvfbV
733Please respect copyright.PENANAhdE36w5GTo
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.733Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5eP9DwZ85
733Please respect copyright.PENANAM4xca0o7zg
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAHpm1I5ufUE
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkdWLDvyfU3
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."733Please respect copyright.PENANAf1y41F6xlF
733Please respect copyright.PENANAnGr2tsxRyd
"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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAi7ehIAQXAt
733Please respect copyright.PENANAogg0KbAO2D
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAWiorFd5qaH
733Please respect copyright.PENANAR6fYVykZeR
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.733Please respect copyright.PENANATMRSPLJF4w
733Please respect copyright.PENANAKKQToBOHW4
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANA1ItkbX8sDM
733Please respect copyright.PENANAjkJ9Vj1X1c
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAF91QeLM9j6
733Please respect copyright.PENANAfQD3MpTdrm
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAFiFtrOOxVi
733Please respect copyright.PENANAJuKem2NiJ3
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAiQpgZrsomi
733Please respect copyright.PENANAFhTAFxOhLX
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANANph9aq0Lri
733Please respect copyright.PENANAP5QTbg9voa
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.733Please respect copyright.PENANAj5qGB6kSDX
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9FcwBDtCOD
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAm7E9Sz3y0A
733Please respect copyright.PENANAcHQEF0xLLo
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANA49msWmewf2
733Please respect copyright.PENANAbVKBRpazBw
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xjr3rdE8F
733Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q5jKPFx6R
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?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAOTd3i40ZhM
733Please respect copyright.PENANA8NGNVsCw9d
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."733Please respect copyright.PENANAfQZHI1E01L
733Please respect copyright.PENANAf5MobOnR1L
"What are you doing here?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAu9jw8swfOB
733Please respect copyright.PENANAAp8zPtz5oL
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."733Please respect copyright.PENANAibsNDHcCFl
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0GFmJL37a0
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAa0JYnGzkW9
733Please respect copyright.PENANAJQrJa3nRox
"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."733Please respect copyright.PENANABAiwPdmiv5
733Please respect copyright.PENANAiwN8fkUUHB
"Who?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAu9TzqLaXiO
733Please respect copyright.PENANAz4BGVeZUCo
"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.733Please respect copyright.PENANA7xx8o1xKlz
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsRfgaptWYl
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAsUdcQ1mf1v
733Please respect copyright.PENANAq7LsaLmTmc
"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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAvta8AftzcA
733Please respect copyright.PENANAAuuX2lu0Fl
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.733Please respect copyright.PENANAFdGH2WxVyA
733Please respect copyright.PENANA1pW0eGGNsK
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAG3UXBE3RhE
733Please respect copyright.PENANAno2XlnmQdx
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."733Please respect copyright.PENANAz4ZMQqkYC8
733Please respect copyright.PENANAB1v3t56MLt
"Why should I leave?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAj8WlEtJoSr
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0kcTtaN5tD
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANANzYtqsw5an
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsLOmeHBy3X
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANANIApL468rH
733Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zupj6Uu7b
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."733Please respect copyright.PENANAaxdscayMPi
733Please respect copyright.PENANAuy8oZCyfNJ
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANA38BqwdIwCZ
733Please respect copyright.PENANAoKRnTw286O
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."733Please respect copyright.PENANATjoOa71ART
733Please respect copyright.PENANAog9bq4Gkaz
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAYUaEdSnbwY
733Please respect copyright.PENANARwqnZTyeuv
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?733Please respect copyright.PENANAPD7k5d0GsC

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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAqJJ0BEslDM
733Please respect copyright.PENANAddSfGiVEJN
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAUp1JH2c8oV
733Please respect copyright.PENANAo9pK5TvxSS
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. "733Please respect copyright.PENANAhsv4CocCI8
733Please respect copyright.PENANAjTmenLBxgP
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.733Please respect copyright.PENANAt7AHGSnUzy
733Please respect copyright.PENANAEyqPejLhuG
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANA82iaAZux14
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUPESJrbzbb
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."733Please respect copyright.PENANAXqGUuqGpkk
733Please respect copyright.PENANA3z9kQseVS1
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAWAft8y7YzH
733Please respect copyright.PENANA23U1g9iGEX
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAoWm8IVu6vO
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsDLRQchiXo
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANA8O7YZOJF5m
733Please respect copyright.PENANASbTAJ0o43P
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?!"733Please respect copyright.PENANAdU85bNdA85
733Please respect copyright.PENANAeDc3e5vr2d
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"733Please respect copyright.PENANAvGAMZwuNHG
733Please respect copyright.PENANAYdppUJv2hh
"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?"733Please respect copyright.PENANASMjJ9uNDWN
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUfh2eh2XlH
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.733Please respect copyright.PENANAJVLNmsvKWk
733Please respect copyright.PENANAT4E7RGg2A2
"I wasn't told of any military police units."733Please respect copyright.PENANAMBWRnqsmyk
733Please respect copyright.PENANAdSAI8NyE1r
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAkwpkpvzAwG
733Please respect copyright.PENANAy6U1XDs77X
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-"733Please respect copyright.PENANAQsR1UnXwiM
733Please respect copyright.PENANArO7234DweV
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAR28xqHAjBr
733Please respect copyright.PENANAKUHpYkH7wu
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.733Please respect copyright.PENANABfbwnKv3lw
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsxBi34ybxz
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAxHwrELAc3P
733Please respect copyright.PENANAJcougUb7LL
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAyeIr5Nx4kM
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMrFKx4uQmf
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAi4k9oiBzLR
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9MWPzU0F38
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAsZyXwfo23M
733Please respect copyright.PENANAND6ljCBYwF
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.733Please respect copyright.PENANAeRjExRmteI
733Please respect copyright.PENANAVUZBAUmvS8
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."733Please respect copyright.PENANAhKkhRRW8SG
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUqDg89IGBi
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."733Please respect copyright.PENANAN8hP5O7v7N
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyPGx4zkkPg
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAqjIVaDPej7
733Please respect copyright.PENANAQnOpbjZ2y5
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."733Please respect copyright.PENANAMJwxxQaUOb
733Please respect copyright.PENANAfCnI1EXvr0
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."733Please respect copyright.PENANAjs02cLZfyL
733Please respect copyright.PENANACOG4eRpFDm
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."733Please respect copyright.PENANAq5QQKCEbBz
733Please respect copyright.PENANAWS2HhbXNzt
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAPJEe4MXY1L
733Please respect copyright.PENANAzKWygztZHZ
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."733Please respect copyright.PENANARfHgseipoL
733Please respect copyright.PENANAYcwjnh3QVG
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."733Please respect copyright.PENANAIC3oOK2jxj
733Please respect copyright.PENANAXZYqkh0VHg
All of the American officers stared at him.733Please respect copyright.PENANABQnj36oHrd
733Please respect copyright.PENANAXEOKnyyin6
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAdbgzpHlrb8
733Please respect copyright.PENANAE0y9sWbRhI
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.733Please respect copyright.PENANAfu23Wl3kOZ
733Please respect copyright.PENANA09nl0tf7Iv
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."733Please respect copyright.PENANA72IvbyUe6X
733Please respect copyright.PENANAodGzR4UBX6
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."733Please respect copyright.PENANAzGPA36X6Ru
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsmjDxFSk05
"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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAPLqjFWvXAm
- - -
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAQ77yCHLufH
733Please respect copyright.PENANAQuJIMFEWiy
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAtiWsKekJ7a
733Please respect copyright.PENANAcNXaZyj3FD
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAPJFROgHdgH
733Please respect copyright.PENANA4n6Yxard0M
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."733Please respect copyright.PENANAscnM5wl75X
733Please respect copyright.PENANADioA9YPCd6
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."733Please respect copyright.PENANAJHOGZhQN1W
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5eEqQBK5AR
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."733Please respect copyright.PENANARuK6AGh9aW
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9KEOOQIsCQ
"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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAsHUduzGJDE
733Please respect copyright.PENANADyOxfRdzD0
"Even though it is all in vain?"733Please respect copyright.PENANA70c0MkgaCh
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0SIoDOuzqZ
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."733Please respect copyright.PENANAMc9D6MPUYj
733Please respect copyright.PENANAgU6mk7j4yI
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAMaN5zXXCXY
733Please respect copyright.PENANABNHjNOdj2Q
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."733Please respect copyright.PENANAVzDjQ8g1jX
733Please respect copyright.PENANA8dKJ7e19TF
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"733Please respect copyright.PENANAft7eKSZT6P
733Please respect copyright.PENANAiYr9fM2ezJ
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAG3lsG2omTo
733Please respect copyright.PENANAan8FXWn1FH
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."733Please respect copyright.PENANAAMrpRnWY5A
733Please respect copyright.PENANA7nungfWWMF
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.733Please respect copyright.PENANAftos1OKaIc
733Please respect copyright.PENANAlI1jI00cTE
"I don't want to leave you."733Please respect copyright.PENANAuxKuIQbCTX
733Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0PiqyDcVc
Sauer closed his gaze before he felt a teardrop drip from the crevice off his eyes. "But you must." He squeezed Cinder close before he released her out of his arms. "Now go." Immediately, he reached down into his pockets for a handkerchief before he watched his daughter rise from her seat and walk away from him without a glance towards him.733Please respect copyright.PENANAMKkbJwsW3J
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyZw6tfaTyl
"Goodbye father."733Please respect copyright.PENANAQ63udGHCPC
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsbWceL4bB2
After clearing his face from his tears, the man waited as he regained his composure while the sight of his daughter grew smaller and smaller as she continued the distance. "Goodbye, Cinder." The voices of men were close by. "T'is is the burden for us monsters."733Please respect copyright.PENANA9PU6G8ro4C
