Chapter XIX: The Stage is Set
Two Days Later...
We'd brought about 300 White Fang members with us. Thankfully they all feared me, since the ones who didn't were all killed off. We made our way to the dark lands where Salem resided. I had formulated a plan that could prove to be effective should it be able to work.
Amber: "(Y/N), the army is in place. Though how is it we get to Salem's castle?"
I ceased from practicing pull-ups for the intending conflict as I grabbed and hoisted a big bag of explosives onto my shoulder, holstering a revolver loaded with explosive rounds. Grabbing the deceased Adam Taurus' sword off of the ground, sheathing it behind my back.
(Y/N): "The White Fang forces will serve as a distraction, You, me, and Caine get behind the front line and get to Salem. A simple plan, but complex at the same time."
Amber nodded.
Amber: "You're bringing Caine with us becuase you don't think he'll work with the White Fang all that good right?"
She asks, before that annoying loudmouth walks over to us.
Caine: "Thank Oum you're getting me away from those freaks, perhaps you ain't so bad as you seem."
He came up from behind us, patting me on the back.
(Y/N): "Just do what you're told and I'm probably not going to secretly kill you while on the way there."
I said harshly, shrugging off his hand as I surveyed the battlefield and the path we would take around Salem's Grimm armies.
Caine: "...Um, yes sir..."
He said uncomfortably, grabbing his metallic bullwhip. Going to grab a few fire dust grenades and an SMG.
Lilith: "Hey, (Y/N)!"
Lilith called to me. I turned to see her jogging up to me, her lilac hair waving around more than it usually does, or is it just this a new animating engine?
Lilith: "I just wanted to say goodluck. If we don't make it out of this alive... I just wanted to say, you put me through a pretty exciting moment in my life and I'm happy for it. To work with you, has been the best five months of my life. I-I just don't want you to die."
She stuttered out the last part, stepping up to hug me. I felt surprised initially, before hugging her back.
(Y/N): "I love you too."
I responded, smirking a little bit as I gave her a small kiss. She smiled, before grabbing an assault rifle cocking it and giving me a joyous look.
Lilith: "Let's go kick some Grimm ass."
I nod, before heading off with Amber and Caine to finally cut the head off of this snake, and regrow a new one. The White Fang begin an aerial attack on the Grimm stationed to guard Salem's castle. There isn't much, as most of them are all across Remnant, trying so hard to use the already lost momentum from the Schnee Dust Company raid in order to try and overthrow the humans.
(Y/N): "Operation Nightingale has proceeded as planned, Amber still suspects nothing of me. This is almost too easy..."
Amber: "So, what's the plan when we get to Salem's castle?... Surely you have a plan Y/N. I'm honestly not able yo comprehend how the three of us are going to defeat her."
Caine: "You're just jealous that a human is more intelligent than you. We're proven to have bigger brainstems."
Amber: "That's not even the part that does the most thinking. Intelligence isn't defined by the size of the brain anyways, it's how you use it that counts."
(Y/N): "Clearly you're one of the dimmer humans."
Caine: "F***ot, I can think for myself."
(Y/N): "What's the square root of nine?"
Caine: "The root is the part of the tree that takes water out from the ground. DAD! I studied biology in highschool, I know how shit works. Plus roots aren't squares and there's no such thing as a tree called a 'nine'"
I scoff as we just silence ourselves for the rest of the journey as the Grimm sense nothing of us. I hope.
- Salem's POV -
Grimm-Jaune: It's a whole invasion, mistress! The Grimm forces stationed on defence are not enough for this.
Salem: "Send anything you can, these treacherous creatures will be dealt with."
Tenebris: "There's not much, but a counterattack can be made..."
She spoke, Jaune continued kneeling beside her as I waved my hand at them.
Salem: "Go now, deal with this insurgency."
Jaune and Tenebris: "Yes mistress."
As the pair of them left I sought to thinking a bit. To try and get some stress out of this nonsense situation out of my head.
Salem: "This is an odd move by (Y/N)... I knew he'd gotten to Taurus. But not that he'd actually be so daring as to try a full on frontal assault. Curious. That creation of mine really is an enigma even to me..."
(A/N: So, what did everyone think of RWBY Volume 6? Like it! Dislike it? Anyways, because of some PM questions I want to disclose this to everyone. Ace of Spades 3 is the final instalment of the trilogy. Maybe I'll do a character trailer for him sometime in the future similar to what Rooster Teeth did but other than that Ace of Spades is gonna be given the ending it deserves.)
