Chapter 12: Preparations
P.O.V. [Name]
I sighed as I looked at Ozpin, he had called almost everyone to a wide open room and was currently looking at us. He hadn't even told us why he was doing this yet, so this has to be important. Ozpin then walked onto the stage holding a small remote and sighed as he pressed a red button and video began to play behind him.
When he did I saw a giant creature on the screen. It looked almost human except it was pitch black and had glowing red eyes and strange bone like armor that was covering it. It was massive, easily taller than almost every other known Grimm. The only thing that I knew of that came anywhere close to this thing's size is a grimm dragon.
Even worse it seemed like there were hundreds of different types of Grimm's running beside it. The camera then zoomed in and every time it took a step it would leave behind some strange black liquid that grimm would begin to form from adding to it's already massive army.
The video then cut to black and Ozpin began to speak into the microphone in front of him. "That is once of a few ancient grimm known as the colossus. It's on a direct path to Beacon with an army of Grimm. It will arrive in about three days," Ozpin said looking at the crowd.
"So we're going to fight that thing!" Someone in the crowd asked looking at Ozpin.
"That is correct," Ozpin said looking at him. What's he thinking? We can't defeat that thing! It's huge! There's no way we have any chance of defeating it. "However," He said gaining everyone's attention. "I realize that this is a lot to ask so this is a choice not an order. If you wish to leave Beacon and return home or peruse other ambitions then I will not stop you," He said looking at the crowd in front of him.
"So we don't have to fight?" The male asked looking at Ozpin.
"That is correct," He said looking at the male in front of him. The room was then filled with silence and Ozpin sighed as he looked at the crowd and once again began to speak. "I ask that all of you that plan to leave please do so as soon as possible. Several aircraft's have already made their way here so that the citizen of Vale can leave without losing their lives. They will stop coming the day before the colossus will arrive. I will hold no ill will towards those who decide to leave and those that chose should be ready to die," Ozpin said looking at everyone in front of him.
He was once again silent and I heard the door open and saw someone walk out of the room. When he did it seemed to cause an effect and several more began to leave the building. I guess I can't blame them if I wasn't the cause for all this I may actually leave myself.
"That is all I have to say to all of you. I will alert you all of the plan in two days so please gather here once again on that day at midnight," Ozpin said looking at the crowd, everyone was once again silent and he walked off the stage and everyone began to leave.
I then felt a hand touch mine and began to hold knowing that it was Pyrrha. I then looked at the red haired female beside me and smiled sadly at her. She returned the favor and I kissed her forehead. "I want to spend every minute before they get here with you," I said looking at her and she smiled and nodded.
We then began to walk out of the room and we turned down one of the halls. However when we did I saw Cardin and Dove talking to each other. I was about to walk away until I saw Cardin was holding something. It almost looked like an envelope. "Hey Dove, you're leaving right?" He asked looking at the male in front of him only to receive a nod in return.
"Can I ask a favor of you?" He asked and Dove looked at him a little confused. Cardin then held up the envelope he had been holding and looked at the male. "Can you give this to my mom?" Cardin asked looking at the male in front of him.
I then saw Velvet walking down the halls carrying something and she accidentally tripped and dropped what she was carrying. Cardin then looked down at her and sighed before leaning down and helping her pick it up.
"Here let me help," Cardin said as he began to pick the items in front of him and handing them to the female. I can't believe what I'm seeing Cardin's actually helping a faunus. "And," Cardin said as he handed her the last of what she had dropped. "Sorry for everything I've done," He said as he began to walk away. Dove then walked up to Cardin and looked at him.
"Everything alright? You didn't even call her a freak," Dove said looking at the male.
"Does it matter at this point? You heard Ozpin, chances are we're all going to die soon anyway. Human or faunus it doesn't matter when you're just going to be toren to pieces by something like that. So I don't see the point anymore," He said looking at the male in front of him.
"If you think you're going to die then why stay?" I asked looking at him a little confused.
"If I'm going to die I want to die a proud death. I want to know that my sacrifice meant something even if it was to such a small amount that it doesn't really matter," Cardin said looking at me.
I can't believe what I'm hearing, Cardin the male who rapidly bullied others was about to sacrifice himself. This side of him it's . . . it's a little scary . . . to see him so disheartened that he wrote a letter to his mom and actually began to apologize to those he had bullied.
Not that I can blame him, our situation is horrible to say the least. I then heard some clicking behind us and turned to see both Ozpin, Shemo along with Amelia walking towards us with their canes in their hand. "Are you two going to fight?" I asked looking at them.
"Indeed," Ozpin said looking at us
"No," Shemo, said looking at us. I looked at the elderly male when he said this and he sighed looking at us. "Let's just say I have other concerns. Things more important to me than saving Beacon," He said as he placed his hand behind Amelia. I nodded hearing this and the two walked away.
"Let's go it sounds like we don't have much time left," I looking at her and she nodded looking at me.
