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?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL0nTRnzUt
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAeFuItKLu
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYLmRdDUy8
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEU0F7xaS
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?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ElAAhZXeD
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94X0Q4LdLm
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMttoPNqmN
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvBenVmOL
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntQkqUEyoC
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD6edhVDW8
"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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoLCYfffUU
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETQADLWNc7
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCEzOXqmRH
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5o9V9BPRh
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPtYJ2nhzv
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6vkHXOOzJ
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR8p9Km47S
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFoQ6hYlIB
"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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6N21LSSm
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDsa5GcD9
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42n6C5Vu4S
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvD7Ro0lbo
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasGyje8dt
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUI004QjVc
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiY9Xf2trS
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqbMoVUjrm
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntVxzQD9VT
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKbAQTi3ux
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqlMTdj4kf
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aRa6o5PA1
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVVvdmnkvy
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGICdy89Ule
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsL2NWnSzV
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvInimXw2Sg
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHjMXvcetE
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvAcnoJdFh
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygBw3xFzuu
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVy85g67mt
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p3mwBxG4s
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfwzXuyYU
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKiEoGtsLI
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqHtUU36TV
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?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyDmRRWWde
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Tox5LIkW
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8TEJfPnXg
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4lBIYJNhY
"What are you doing here?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFprrp33PiZ
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGio14yjvMR
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqojr3rw7WY
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQTlBEQQO0
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JUVRknmXF
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT67LFojsx4
"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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTZgcXsQYH
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGrOWdPTAP
"Who?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsrpJx5taE
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxsBUWwhCE
"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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdMyVwfgeh
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyrewO2YDQ
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYO5hmbn3p
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Sara4Oyj
"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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVsNSyErlj
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqhklIcJ0J
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYhITmWxDQ
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAatxpkILwk
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1h8TZIBN
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvUW2lyidh
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuz3bfeTlV
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yRahnugwm
"Why should I leave?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQLGzYGXDY
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2q7Du7L8
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1R9JLsUqp
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTL66sjdjl
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs1wkHD46a
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqubGIFwKb7
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvUqZzRi9K
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriH3jQqsYO
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcsWY9duMN
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjrydKNIl
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojyov0HxBH
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly3dqsr6wA
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7695vy3TwA
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkLYCGdq3O
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?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84wlB2gn5w

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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHlEtoS48G
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIxOj4efT2
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHSlXyJiwG
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAy6NdxdYD
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. "952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGaXiwLCnf
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3y38Li7dP
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo34hxfAm8
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS01MCSibT
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA08rcR9XYh
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0JcVsdDon
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjT0RdleEx
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WjXmhmpQp
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOetGouzcZB
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnFveAGCD0
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPwfGOE9W
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyLHicYQsQ
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBvIjSxJYt
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCVQSfIq3
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?!"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61IO5umC7w
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdof72Z8vWr
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zo9DTslWS
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSk6K5srgz
"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?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKAVmvJgVB
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtxAx5JSlG
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjTR9gR1PM
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTpZLSpp78
"I wasn't told of any military police units."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwnGzohCUw
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RyvhJNxOt
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKTI81cluR
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpLyswKYSn
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-"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3LXRClBcn
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoyDAQe1U6
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sTOO7yRbl
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NpKixPchG
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHGasVhBtq
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHq0tNPfga
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0nhRgT0E
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqfbgKC8CW
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8zccOJFy6
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xCTrh3Le
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38EdxYSWlf
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8avKqBtM8
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UVfaevavU
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ivKSfbEZP
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0rwYTWaZg
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk03Utzh0w
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRInMEKY2lO
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4K0BGi1jq
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sHjBRfChL
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq9CKd6rCc
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1eKkTuoKa
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmVugaXKJg
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKFx4CEUIw
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkh5gD3Azi
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwctLHAWdaf
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhHe7RI41
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr0oOgTKkk
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG2gkJHYvc
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYmDZ2M106
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO68uaU95xj
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW5XemzlMo
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7iFJffxfv
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vAtmMdl3g
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4gufmJCF
All of the American officers stared at him.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWOamb8VUC
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh51dgPkUf
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp6vJVi3Uh
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71hvaYBdy
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACFyN3sNqR
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLFeWBy33u
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Za3F2lZzi
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYmCOhSyLr
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNml2eaeydo
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQcGmU149G
"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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV46NMoRaW

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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonzaierMbL
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fwxYn318V
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwM6qW8AEu
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBN6YFjNO1
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa3U39Vh2h
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCDzm0gmFa
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2peWAbzxo
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLKlGqe9Gt
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswENFviBx2
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8upI3F3Yhj
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNxwYvWAGH
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOf3o6hxha
"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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3M4CdE0YR
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NB465dSmv
"Even though it is all in vain?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfvvT3t08b
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGEgkCV44L
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplH8lNCGcA
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dzcnxkCsW
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YW1ibUlcP
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOggTXIkmh
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QpyUO1mxb
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJZJcJnXx
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtczx2wdeN
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArCNjCgzTk
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Eullzb9S
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQPjhOO7ao
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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NbcxrXhyV
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirq076xQxK
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WLT3EANcw
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqB9KARMiK
