Chapter 23: A Genius's Entrance!
So last time Liam and Neo went shopping with Kaida to get her new clothes. On their way they ran into Coco in the clothing store and caught Weiss and Blake going on a date! What awaits Liam next?
Liam just got finished putting all of Kaida's new clothes in her dresser that they bought for her yesterday. After that was done he went out to the living room where Neo was currently taking care of Kaida. "Well that takes care of the clothes, now we just need to sit back and relax." Liam said as he fell back onto the couch with a sigh of relief. "Don't forget the school dance is coming up soon! We need to get our outfits for the big day!" Neo's sign types out as Liam rolled his eyes at his girlfriend's excitement. "Oh come on Ice Cream Cone, you just want us to show off on the dance floor like we did last year." Liam said in a teasing tone as he smiled at Neo.
Neo stuck her tongue out at Liam before turning her attention back to Kaida. "Hey Liam, did Ozpin say anything about robots coming to our dorm?" Zane asked his best friend as he stared out the window of their dorm. "Zane what kind of crazy joke are you trying to make?" Liam said as he walked up to his best friend before turning to look out the window only to see an army of robots marching towards their dorm.
"Looks like Ironwood wants to talk, what you say we go greet them Zane?" Liam asked as he and Zane made their way out the front door. "Neo stay inside and make sure Kaida stays safe, Zane and I need to go deal with a certain general." Liam said as his girlfriend nodded in response. Liam and Zane matched up to the approaching army before stopping right in front of them.
"General, I see you brought some tin cans with you this time. What can I do for you today?" Liam asked in a calm tone, but was seething with anger underneath his calm facade. "Hand over the asset, unless you want this to get ugly." Ironwood ordered as his soldiers jumped into the trees around them while others surrounded them on the ground. "Ironwood we've already been over this, I'm not handing over my daughter to you An your screwed up military school." Liam stated as he tried to be as civilized as possible. Liam also noticed that Winter seemed to be uncomfortable for some strange reason, which had him worried.
"Honestly why you would want that beast as a child is beyond me." Liam felt his blood start to boil as he turned to see probably the most disgusting human being in all of Remnant, Jacques Schnee and his son Whitley.
"You wanna repeat that you slimy white snake?" Liam asked as he summoned Way to the Dawn and Zane summoned the Kingdom Key. "Oh how brutish, is violence all you two are capable of?" Whitley said with a haughty laugh as he smirked at the two. "Liam hold me back before I kill him!" Zane growled as he used every bit of strength to resist beating the little runt to a bloody pulp. "Whitley you should know better then to anger people, especially those who are stronger then you." A feminine voice added as Liam took notice of Willow Schnee.
"Oh please mother what could these brutes possibly do against the might of the Atlas Military?" Whitely said in his same snobby tone from earlier. "You do know that Master Yen Sid will here about this, right Ironwood?" Liam said in hopes of diffusing the situation without violence. "Ozpin and that Wizard are to old and blind to see the bigger picture. So hand over the girl." Ironwood said as he prepared to give the order to fire on the Keyblade Wielders. Liam looked over at Zane, who simply nodded to let Liam know he had his back.
"Ironwood, I'm giving you one chance to walk away peacefully. Believe me your making a terrible mistake." Liam said as he tried to give the general one chance to walk away. "Fire!" Ironwood ordered as the hundred robots started firing from all directions. Liam and Zane began to deflect all of the laser shots right back at the robot army destroying them in the process.
In less then a minute every robot soldier was destroyed, while Liam and Zane were completely unharmed. "What was that about us not being able to stand up to the night of the Atlas Military?" Zane said as he gave Whitley a smug grin.
"So are you willing to give up on this pointless endeavor? Zane and I have gone toe to toe with the members of Organization 13 multiple times." Liam said as he waited for the General to admit defeat. "Father what is the meaning of this?!" Everyone turned to see both Weiss and Blake approach the two groups. "Weiss stay out of this, we're here to obtain that dragon." Jacques said in a rather frustrated tone as he glared at his other daughter. "Sister are you mingling with Faunus? How disgusting! Honestly you call yourself a Schnee." Whitley said in disgust as he glared at Weiss.
Weiss looked down as she tried to keep herself from breaking down as Blake tried to comfort her. "Honestly we come here to get a filthy animal and my daughter is mingling with filthy animals! General can we finish up already?" Jacques said in an aggravated tone as Ironwood pulled out his scroll and pressed a button. Two larger robots fell out of the sky in front of Liam and Zane.
"So your master plan to defeat us are two bigger tin cans?" Zane asked in confusion as he looked at the two machines with an unimpressed look on his face. "The Paladins are the most advanced models the Atlas Military has at it's disposal! Don't think this will be easy boy!" Ironwood roared as he ordered the Paladins to attack. Zane channeled his energy as his outfit turned yellow and he summoned the Keyblade Oblivion, which he levitated with his other hand.
Liam switched to Obsidian Vanguard as he and Zane rushed towards one of the Paladins. Zane shot Oblivion at the Paladin's gun arms, which he cut in half before stabbing Oblivion into the head module. Zane then bounced off the robot's leg before slashing the robot clean in half with the Kingdom Key. The Paladin exploded as Zane undid Master Form before giving Ironwood a smug grin. Liam dodged the Paladin's gunfire before sinking into the robot's shadow.
Liam shot out of shadow before slashing the torso of the robot, which sent it skidding backwards. Liam changed Obsidian Vanguard into it's gauntlet form as he spun the living Spike ball around at high speeds. The living Spike ball slammed into the side of the Paladin before it began to devour the robot. After the Spike ball was finished eating, Liam turn his weapon back into it's Keyblade form before facing Ironwood. "Do you give up now?" Liam asked in a very unamused tone as he waited for Ironwood to finally call it quits. Instead of giving up, Ironwood had more of the soldier robots be dropped form his ship to continue the fight.
Before Liam and Zane could even get ready to attack the robot soldiers point their guns at the General and the Schnees. "General what is the meaning of this?!" Jacques demanded as he looked around at the soldiers that were now on the Keyblade wielder's side. "I don't know my control is being completely denied!" Ironwood shouted in frustration as he fiddled with his scroll. "That would be my doing Ironwood." Everyone turned to see a man that was probably only a year younger then Winter with white hair and glasses step out of the forest.
The man was in a black trench coat with white cargo pants that are tucked into his black combat boots. The man was also typing on a keyboard gauntlet that had a holographic screen. "W-William?! Is that you?" Willow asked in disbelief at the sight of her eldest son that disappeared years ago. "Hello mother, sad to see you let this imbecile walk all over you like when we were younger." William said in a monotone voice as he give Jacques a sideways glance. "What is the meaning of this William?! You disappear from Atlas's science devision four years ago and now you pull this stunt?!" Ironwood bellowed in rage at the former Atlas Scientist.
"Come now General, all you had me do was design weapons for your military. You know I have never been a fan of violence. So I decided to use my intellect to support Master Yen Sid and those chosen by Keyblades." William said calmly as he finished typing on his keyboard gauntlet. "William as your father I order you to stop this nonsense!" Jacques ordered his eldest son, who simply laughed at him. "Sorry to say father, but you an Ironwood will no longer have any power. You see I've been planning to take both of you down for years. Now I can finally do just that." William said as he finally cracked a smile, which scared the two men.
William blew up the size of his holographic screen, which showed a news report that revealed the many atrocities committed by Jacques towards the Faunus people and Ironwood and his military's sick experiments. "I've talked to the world powers and they have handed over both the Schnee Dust company and Atlas Military to me. So as of right now both of you are relieved of your positions." William said with a triumphant smile as both Ironwood and Jacques boiled with rage.
Ironwood pressed a button on his scroll which self destructed all of the soldiers. "Winter kill William!" Ironwood ordered as Winter froze. "Winter as a member of the Schnee Family you will kill him!" Jacques screamed as he also glared at his daughter. Winter instead walked over to Liam and Zane and stood by them. "Your no longer my Superior, William is so if you two would kindly turn yourselves in." Winter said as she finally cracked a smile of her own. Jacques then turned towards Weiss as a grin spread across his face.
"Weiss if you kill William, you will be the next heir to the company!" Jacques said as he was confident that he had finally won. Weiss walks next to her sister. "I'm sick of you father-no Jacques. I'm done listening to you! I'm going to live my life how I want to from now on!" Weiss shouted as she held Blake's hand. Suddenly a light shined from Weiss's chest before it flew towards Liam and landed in his hand. The light took the form of yet another Keyblade.
"W-What just happened?!" Weiss said in slight fear at the sight of the new weapon in Liam's hand. "This is the Keyblade born from the honesty that you finally set free from your heart. This Keyblade's name is Waltzing White!" Liam said as he gave the Keyblade a few practice swings. "Give up Ironwood, the game is over and you've lost!" William said as he stepped forward. "I will not accept this!!!" Ironwood shouted as he was engulfed in dark energy.
"William is Ironwood turning into what I think he's turning into?!" Zane said as he looked at Chip and Dale's assistant with worry. "Yes it appears that the darkness in Ironwood's heart has reached it's limit, he's turning into a Heartless." William said as the dark energy finally cleared to reveal a large crab like monster with cannons on it's back.
"Zane protect William and the dorm, Weiss, you and Blake protect Jacques, Whitley, and Willow. Winter you willing to back me up against this crab?" Liam asked the eldest Schnee child. "I've wanted to knock Ironwood down a few pegs for quite some time now." Winter said as she drew her sword and followed Liam into battle against the crab Heartless. Winter summoned glyphs to jump into the air and land on the back of the castle like shell. Winter began fighting the Heartless soldiers manning the cannons on the shell of the crab Heartless.
Liam dodged the cannon fire while Winter continued to take out the Heartless Soldiers. Liam struck the claws of the crab in order to weaken the Heartless further. Eventually Liam was able to cut off one of the Crab Heartless's left claw, causing it to screech in pain. "One down, one to go." Liam said as he jumped back to avoid the other claw of the giant fortress crab. Liam dunk into the shadows once again before jumping out and cutting off the other claw. The Crab Fortress screeched in pain before violently shaking it's shell.
Winter lost her balance and began to fall off the shell and towards the ground. "Winter!" Both Weiss and Willow screamed in fear at the sight of their sister/daughter fall to the ground. Before the eldest Schnee could hit the ground, a small drone caught Winter with a tractor beam. The drone then flew Winter to the ground next to William who smiled at his older sister. "You did well Winter, but why don't we let Liam handle the rest of this fight?" William said as he gently patted his older sister on the back. The group then turned to watch Liam finish off the giant crab.
The Heartless soldiers reappeared on the shell of the Crab Fortress and the monster crawled back into it's shell. The Soldiers began firing on Liam who dodged the explosions before once again sinking into the shadows. Liam then jumped out of the shadow underneath the shell of the Heartless, causing the monster to spin on the top of it's shell wildly. Suddenly Waltzing White transformed into an elegant bow that had the snowflake with the different dust color decorations as the point where the arrow is shot out of. A bowstring made of energy forms as Liam takes aim.
A large blue energy arrow formed in hole as Liam pulled back the string. "Subzero Sniper!" Liam shouted as he fired the arrow into the crab's fragile underside, which caused the monster to explode. The Heartless dispersed, leaving behind Ironwood's collapsed body. William immediately handcuffed Ironwood, Jacques, and Whitley before anything else could get out of hand. "How could you betray your family like this William?" Jacques asked in complete disgust at his son's actions. "We were never a family in your eyes Jacques, just a tool to get ahead in the world." William said as he led the three of them away.
Liam disbanded Waltzing White before turning to face the rest of the group to rejoin them. "Well it's gonna take William some time to put those three in lockup. So let's head inside and relax after all the excitement while we wait." Liam said as he led the group back towards the team KNDM dormitory so they could relax after all of the action. Liam looked over his shoulder to see that Blake was still tightly holding Weiss's hand as the two of them had blushes on their faces. Liam couldn't help but smile at how Weiss was finally living her life the way we she wanted to instead of by her father's standards.
So that is who William is! He was able to completely shutdown both Ironwood and Jacques. Although the real question is how did he do it? Also think of the new Keyblade that Liam got in this chapter is like an optional Keyblade that you have to go out of your way to obtain. What plans does William have for the Atlas Military and the Schnee Dust Company? How will he approach his sisters and mother? Find out in the next chapter of RWBY: Let Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
