[No One Pov]

After the battle of White Fangs Compound, and the rescue of Willow Schnee, Jason and Neo were heading back to Pandora, with a White Fang Lieutenant.

Apparently, the White Fang Lieutenant was a Wolf Faunus named Alex, and a recently promoted Lieutenant to serve under White Fang Commander named Jacks, who was a Bear Faunus.

[Alex]

[Jacks]

White Fang Commander Jacks was a man of Honor, Pride and Dignity, he believed in fighting an opponent on equal level.

White Fang Lieutenant Alex was only promoted for a month, before becoming under White Fang Commander Jack's command.

Also, Alex was one of a few faunus who didn't agree with Adam's ideals of Faunus Superiority, but never openly goes against it in fear of being killed.

Alex was pressured to join the White Fangs and most hated it due to being under the command of someone, who believes in Adam's cause for Superiority.

But now, Alex was considered to be KIA to the White Fangs and free as he was happy for once in his life.

The Warthog was beginning to approach the gates of Pandora as they looked to see the White Fang Lieutenant Alex, immediately pointing their guns at him

Jason: Hold your fire! He is with us! He surrendered to us!

Guard: Ok then. open the gates! Let them through!

The gates were beginning to open as the Warthog started to move in and through the gates, until they were through and speeding towards Pandora.

Then, within a few minutes, they arrived at the transport site, where Shiranui and Pandora's guards were waiting for them.

Shiranui: Willow Schnee. I'm glad to see you made it safely.

Willow: Indeed. so amI. I like to thank these two for saving me.

Jason: Of course Ms Schnee.

Shiranui: And you must be the White Fang Lieutenant.

Alex: Yes. I am. But please. Call me Alex. I don't want to be a White Fang Anymore.

Shiranui: I understand. Please note that you will be watched for any activities.

Alex: Understood Ma'am. I'll obey all of your people's commands.

Shiranui: Good. Then, why don't we head back to the guild?

Jason: Of course.

Shiranui, Jason, Neo, Willow and Alex walk to the Guild as some of Pandora's guards follow them, watching over Alex for the time being.

They then arrived at the guild and went straight to the office, where they all entered and sat down.

Shiranui: So Willow. We suspected that Your husband...

Willow: Ex-Husband. I divorced when I left Atlas.

Shiranui: Then, Ex-Husband, Jacques Schnee, has something to do with how you were kidnapped.

Willow: Indeed. He is definitely involved. the White Fang Commander, I mean Jacks, told me that Jacques contacted them and made a deal with them. They would seize all operations against the SDC. And in return, they would have me. Me, divorcing Jacques and leaving Atlas, as all he needed.

Jason: That's just horrible. and completely Unacceptable. and I thought Weiss was bad enough.

Willow: You know Weiss?

Jason: Yeah. Im Jason Lynch. Student of UA. Unfortunately, your daughter is my Bully and Ex-Girlfriend.

Willow: Oh my god. I am so sorry. I would understand if you have a distrust towards me. being Weiss's mother.

Jason: No. I don't. It is not your fault that Weiss became my bully and ex. She chose her path and she'll have to live with it.

Alex: Ms Schnee. I mean, Willow. Allow me to officially apologize to you again. For pointing a gun at your head.

Willow: Like I said before. I don't blame you Alex. You were a soldier following orders.

Shiranui: Alex. What was the plan to deal with Willow?

Alex: Jacks was planning to send Willow over to Adam Taurus. However, I started to doubt if that was a good idea at all.

Neo[Speaker]: Knowing Adam's hatred for humans. He would most like kill Willow on the spot the moment he learns that she's a Schnee.

Alex: Yeah. That is what concerned me. And honestly, I didn't trust Jacques' words. I mean, I expected some kind of response for Atlas. Or even UA.

Jason: It's probably because he didn't tell anyone.

Willow: You're right about that. He doesn't care about anything, but his Schnee Dust Company. He would sell out our entire family just to protect his company and money.

Shiranui: Tch. Scumbag. Well, You have a place here for yourself Willow. If you still like to join Pandora.

Willow[Nods]: Yes. I do. I still like to join Pandora. I don't want to be in the same room with that bastard Jacques. Nor Weiss.

Shiranui: Then, welcome to Pandora. Willow. Here.

Shiranui then handed Willow some cash. [$10,000]

Shiranui: That should be enough for a couple of days until you'll be ready to live on your own.

Willow: Thank you.

Willow then gets up, shakes Shiranui's hand, before walking out of the office.

Shiranui: So Alex. You decided to surrender and join Pandora?

Alex: Yes. I have. Neo told me that I would have a chance for Redemption. The Chance at a New Life.

Shiranui: Indeed. You would be given the Chance for Redemption. But due to being a Former White Fang, you would be watched for the time being.

Alex: I understand Ma'am.

Shiranui: Good. Also, would you like to join the Pandora Mercenaries Guild? This could be your chance to prove yourself and get your Redemption.

Alex: If I could. Then who would I be paired with?

Jason: You could join me and Neo.

Alex: R-Really?

Neo[Speaker]: Yeah. Since We're all new. Jason is a Suspended Student of UA. I am a Former Villain. And so are you. A former White Fang Lieutenant.

Alex[Nod]: Thank you. and I accept. I'll join the Pandora Mercenaries Guild.

Shiranui: Splendid. I hope to see the three of us real soon. Oh, Neo. Jason. here.

Shiranui then hands both Jason and Neo something as it was their Pandora Mercenaries Guild License, both Rank D.

Shiranui: I'll get started with creating Pandora Mercenaries Guild License for Alex.

Jason: Thank you Shiranui.

Jason, Neo and Alex walked out of the office and out of the Pandora Mercenaries Guild.

Alex: So, where are we going?

Jason: Well, we're heading back to Tin Traveler Lounge to drop off our gear.

Neo[Speaker]: You want to come?

Alex: Yeah. I do. Thank you.

Jason: Of course.

Jason, Neo and Alex started walking the streets of Pandora, heading in the direction of the Tin Traveler Lounge.

Along the way, Alex could see the stares and glares that were directed at him, people started to know he's a former White Fang Lieutenant.

Jason: It's Ok Alex. You'll get your chance to prove yourself.

Alex: I hope that I can.

Neo[Speaker]: You shall. In time.

The trio arrived at the Tin Traveler Lounge as they entered, and Sammy greeted them.

Sammy: Oh Jason. Neo. You're back. How is the mission?

Jason: Successful. Willow is safe and here in Pandora.

Sammy: That's great. And you must be the former White Fang Lieutenant.

Alex: Indeed sir. I am.

Sammy: Hey. No need for formalities. I have no problem with you.

Jason: We're going to get changed. We'll be back.

Alex: Ok.

Jason and Neo went to the secret room to get changed out of the armor and equipment.

Sammy: So. Do you drink?

Alex: Not much. but something light I guess.

Sammy: Cool. I have the thing. On the house.

Sammy hands Alex a cup, who then drinks it and loosen up a bit.

Sammy: Good right?

Alex: Yeah. Very.

Sammy: Why did you join the White Fangs? You look like you made a bad choice?

Alex: In a way, I did. I never wanted to join the White fangs. But I was pressured to join by brutes. Loyalest of Adam Taurus.

Sammy: I see. Damn. that rough.

Alex: Yeah. Tell me about it. I was forced to join the White Fangs. And I was only promoted a month ago. I didn't even follow Adam's ideals for Faunus Supremacy. I just couldn't. I only stayed to survive.

Sammy: You did what you could to survive. I respect that.

Alex: Yeah. I was scared of Adam. I mean, after what he did to Sienna and Eve, How couldn't I?

Sammy: Wait. Sienna and Eve? as in Sienna Khan? and Eve Taurus?

Alex: Yep. The very same.

Sammy: What did he do?

Alex: To Overthrown Sienna Khan and took command over all of the White Fangs. Eve helped Sienna escape death by Adam's hands. And now, they were both branded as Traitors. Ordered to be killed on sight.

Sammy: Jesus. I see why. Which means there's probably more defectors like you.

Alex: Probably. But too scared to desert the White Fangs.

Sammy: Yeah. That makes sense.

???: We're back.

Sammy and Alex turned to see Jason and Neo heading towards them, without their combat armor.

Sammy: So Jason. Neo. Anything?

Jason: Smirfoff Ice.

Neo: [Vodka soda.]

Sammy: Cool. Give me a second.

Alex: Wait. Neo's mute?

Jason: Yeah. She is. She was only able to speak due to the suit. It was connected to her mind.

Alex: Ok then.

Sammy: Ok guys. here you go.

Jason and Neo got their drinks, before holding them up.

Jason: Cheers to Alex. Welcome to Pandora. And this time.

Alex/Neo/Sammy: Cheers. / [Cheers.]

Then, they drank at the same time, as Alex felt happy to be at Pandora and with Jason, Neo and Sammy.
