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?944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThuC2ltUWD
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLdQGvOBkG
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV3yLYr6I1
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ZsQ92NOo
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?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDPlLbEG3z
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Rico5oiF
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkCZ9gTO4h
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWipQC06ncg
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wS19lCuV2
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIc0LgRVSE
"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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSxxPAEukp
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKXbvph0E
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDwYqP30kt
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCburLakDK
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuL686P8M3
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIgJqK4xRl
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VwXGk9R4m
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor96m9pW5x
"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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr9q9TCNNs
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIIEvfUJ8c
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq5LL6ZMop
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49kkaeOl27
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyFKAXa1Qf
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vH2T2CID2
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImyU2Kc2bU
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLc1KLLzIO
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHcGm92tzV
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5jwm1MbZH
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEal1gYOm1
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjTVmszBzv
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP9yFKe0sQ
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9LAe3VanD
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC5OEgKVDn
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9sZ4dewJu
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBHeMLx4dn
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xm976t1uu
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzi8ICFoU
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKepDCdMbYM
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrICm7dYM3P
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDIKLeCX8Y
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwyeE0h3fK
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiJdW5T2cP
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?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITxBvhM7cq
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBBGlRxUb4
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzIb8ySwp0
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ924ps9q8lX
"What are you doing here?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDfJ7DXaow
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8piqu9tEXn
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJCJRij5VQ
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD8ojXJImq
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSosedlVDIW
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn72nTKhw0l
"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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qN8DcpA9Q
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANAZF3g2Wh
"Who?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWaohm5153
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnHITWKlyc
"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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHPKaCEblp
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNjeLbUc9G
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ohMjaKBLq
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLLhvhqDOj
"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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIyLI2WrYX
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wTSPKDyCD
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimOocqjN1s
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznAVJG5o0e
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYZPKRmwH2
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GI7lqzSrs
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOu8SgNGru
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22eZndRhX
"Why should I leave?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ477Lajlax7
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzweV0M35V
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OrboDOGQy
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCgEFNFckv
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZSPpfpGNO
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIaM10oLOd
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpX0C2uswL
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDKjbzxJD7
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4LLkqYd9l
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxqTGtfAIm
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSikf7Frf3i
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZlq6rYGoH
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg8ffPY4hZ
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuCbGmEGFE
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?944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaAqkY2flZ

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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpzC0ES9Iw
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMX3zUffTV
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIZsvbNJhQ
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKj1TTJp0D
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. "944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfttcGBJ8XI
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQzxweAr6
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvXLoMgxSq
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrdiOOgR61
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Gf6AsUaP
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CHSHLUAqv
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKgInzQ8Ll
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQkJ1jq4iv
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5el7JcJZUX
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjJkAxvrfx
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ujn1AJOGs
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm5AAN9RWY
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd5Hl4S01x
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBworCckuyq
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?!"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZRrTXUrGx
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDbyJJsJdk
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpemZdCCK6
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosaZAytpE5
"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?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AbKDSPGVD
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmaNoGn6Nx
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYkm69DnqR
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpZSyGPCwU
"I wasn't told of any military police units."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFuEqamf2F
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChWfJkxobv
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lAKvjKdQD
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcL4OoxvG8
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-"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmqy1OkH3m
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Vl0ka2ZR
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMhlB2Y6xn
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh4CRqmx8Q
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBy13u3K8p
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDCwmOwd5e
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2eQQonEGg
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoY2FNGY3B
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHWD0G2JVa
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBezy0AgHgH
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeefJMe0NBU
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13kcN7XB0o
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9aTXRMu2e
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdZXB2pPjS
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8nNQPreiD
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMgHQnBgZ
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgNIPyk7Ez
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgAGSWODB
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqstpR2DUM
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG42eWNO7l
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMiTgcceR4
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAkl3StVFL
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM96Ej3sR1
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWwntfHPa
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesdHkeRTwE
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3SUGdvN9d
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsecXiBPcB
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWvhVDakbO
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5tZOZii9C
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiVksr4Vae
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5nkp2t5b0
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQNH8x22F5
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bxf14eMsd
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWaDQOcI8B
All of the American officers stared at him.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpI3qWBiCA
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSEHnpLfi
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRJGqlXb0K
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhX4ZxHfxd
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3URPtCgh
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmfsCsEmO1
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8xnix7r1o
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qzIaLmkgG
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2YwfyMlJz
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghvhUAV3Lf
"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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik936wXQnD

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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g53X92NHM
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxMlKpOzWq
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakD2iHyHaJ
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUa6DTowHc
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZeP1MKjoz
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3mBKKDG4N
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48fApLkNS0
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHMsbrfRlm
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvGoC6oBTS
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCwFBnPS0r
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStmSKnprDw
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqnZc4pC9
"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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWY7lzZUbC
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWY4BG4chj
"Even though it is all in vain?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB3KvAzRgY
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf6ICwuiwb
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqj9pv0K5F
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KovjbuOoB
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA4UkBmRun
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC06SugM75v
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQilTJLEHX
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYmnxqDADP
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDr3vFQlS8
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9qKikdeU
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz34F71GNe
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9gFpbyqWc
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."944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJVNQNAPI
944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxWCPw54oU
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.944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPkrLyl680
