Shock and Awe
The emblem of Atlesian Marine Corp spined around for a few seconds before it moved to upper left part of the screen as the map appeared in the view of the audience. It showed them the location from the previous mission as the camera zoomed itself down, now showing them green outlines of numerous buildings and the helicopter Penny and Winter had gotten into.
As it took off into the air, Commands voice spoke up, "Marines, we have a possible fix on Cinder Fall in the capital city. 1st Battalion is en route. Intel gathered by Beacon indicates that Cinder Fall may have a Menagerian warhead... Speed is critical. NEST teams have been deployed to the area. Force Recon and Wild Weasel units have taken out most of the air defenses but Cinder Fall's ground forces still pose a serious threat."
The camera showed them off a place which was told them to be Cinder's palace as the footage of her was broadcasting in a square on the left side of the screen, before it was joined by her bio, as it popped out down it. Then it zipped to show them some moving aircraft, speeding along the city.
"Looks like we're rollin' in with everything we got." Winter's voice ran in their ears, "We get Cinder Fall, we end this war, right here, right now. Lock and load, Marines!"
"I'm combat ready to end this war!" Penny said, saluting, earning chuckles from Ruby, Ironwood and Winter at her behaviour. Though, Ironwood's and Winter's were barely noticable.
"So this is the mission when they get Cinder." Adam stated.
"After kicking her ass since that chase after her began." Roman added.
"I doubt so. I already said that but my money is on that Sienna and her forces are going to burst in and save her ass." Coco said.
"I just hope nothing goes wrong for Penny and Winter." Ruby said.
The camera zoomed itself onto the Sea Knight helicopter in which Penny had taken off last mission, and the next thing the audience saw was Penny, sitting in front of a weapon that appeared to be some sort of a grenade launcher as she was overlooking other helicopters and tanks moving towards the Capital City.
''In formation. Approaching objective. 30 seconds." Outlaw Two-Five said.
''Outlaw, this is Deadly. We'll take out the big targets, mop up any troublemakers with the Mark 19." The guy who was simply called "Cobra Pilot" said. His voice was unknown for the audience, but B recognized this voice. It was the pilot from volume 5 that took Weiss out of Atlas.
As was saying those words, Penny doublechecked the grenade launcher she was going to use sooner or later, a familiar voice sounded in the ears of the audience, ''All callsigns, this is Overlord. We're seeing enemy armor on the bottom grove west of the river."
"Wait a second..." Goodwitch said.
"Is that?" Qrow added.
"Ozpin!" Hazel almost roared, gripping the edges of his seats in anger. The damage he made to the seat was quickly fixed as B raised his gauntlet, and one of the stones glowed yellow.
Ozpin simply ignored Hazel's cry, as he took a sip of coffee from his mug, interested to see the role his character is going to play in the story, "Hm, interesting."
A moment after they started flying along the bridge that lead into the city, the helicopters split up around the city, some of them firing at the bridge, taking out some of the enemy's forces on the ground. Penny followed their example and started shooting at everything on the ground. Starting with Cinder's soldiers that were retreating into the town, going to the armored vehicle who as B told the audience was named BMP.
When Penny had dealt with the BMP's next to the bridge, the helicopter headed into the town, Penny instantly spotting an anti-air gun on the roof of one of the buildings. It didn't took long until there was nothing left of it along with the man operating it. There were some people on the roofs of the buildings next to it, some of them firing an RPG at Penny's helicopter, or the ones who didn't had the launcher had to fire at them with their machine guns which of course didn't do much damage.
"Light armor, take it out, Polendina!" Outlaw Two-Five informed.
The next enemies that appeared in her view were another BMP's, two armored vehicles standing on some sort of square, as most of the ground forces seemed to be heading towards some for story building with a flag over it's entrance. There was a statue standing in front of it. Probably thinking it was funny or something like that, after taking care of the BMP, Penny fired a single shot at the statue, causing it to collapse all over the square.
''We got RPGs on rooftops." Outlaw Two-Five said.
Penny shifted her attention towards the roofs, noticing another anti-air gun. It didn't took long before it shared the same fate as the one she destroyed not that long ago. She moved her grenade launcher towards an oil truck as it was approached by another BMP. She fired a few grenades at the oil truck, and when it exploded, the BMP shared it's fate shorty after. There was also another anti-air gun on the roof next to it, but Penny took it out without any problem.
As the helicopter began moving back to the square it flied by just a second, Penny had a chance to see the other side and see if there are any enemies there. She was proven to be correct. Two BMP's coming her way, firing at her too. She got rid of them pretty quickly before shifting her attention towards the countless enemies on the buildings, some of them wielding rocket launchers, some of them don't. There was one gun on RPG that tried to take her down, but he missed the shot, unfortunely for him Penny didn't miss hers.
''Command this is Outlaw Two-Five. Infantry is making a run for it. We are clear to land." Outlaw Two-Five declared, as Penny was able to see several of Cinder's men retreating along the road, until they were taken out the helicopter that flied above their heads.
"Uh...Roger that. Ok. Bachelor Two-Seven, let's get those Abrams to the front..." Command said as the helicopter started to turn. Penny's eyes went to the BMP that was firing at her next to the BMP's she destroyed earlier. Two shoots were enough for it to join the other two.
"Hey, wasn't there only two just a moment ago?" Emerald asked.
"And they were both destroyed as I recall." Roman added.
"Where did it came from?" Neo asked, sending a questioning look to B who shrugged his shoulders.
"I dunno little Neo." B answered.
As Penny's helicopter was landing on the ground, Command continued, "...Outlaw, this is command, unload half your chalk and take the rest 2 klicks to the west. We need you to evac an advance team pinned down in the city.."
Two more helicopters landed on the ground, and marines got out of them. Penny watched how they began fighting with Cinder's soldiers in a flagged building as at tank rode through the car, completely crushing it. As another tank rode by, Penny's helicopter had taken off into the air.
"Oh, where are they going?" Jaune asked.
"Marines! Listen up! One of our forward recon teams has gotten pinned down and needs out help!" Winter declared.
"I think you have the answer." Ren said.
Penny watched how the marines battled with the people in flagged building, as her helicopter began taking off towards the place Winter just mentioned, as Cobra Pilot called out, flying past them, "Outlaw, this is Deadly. Returning to base to refit and refuel. You're on your own for now, 2-5.."
"I bet he is going to appear again once they'll be in danger." Sun stated.
As the helicopter flied above the hill, Penny saw some aicraft speed through the sky, as Command said, "Advance team is pinned down in a hot area. They are popping green smoke to indicate their position."
Penny glanced down to see a single man with an RPG on the building. A single shot was enough to take care of him, as Outlaw Two-Five said, " Roger we have a visual. Outlaw Two-Five out."
After those words were said, it wasn't too long before the helicopter landed on the ground. Penny finally took her hands of the grenade launcher as she along with other marines began to leave airship, with Winter telling them as she was the first one to get out, followed by Roycewicz, Lopez, Gaines and the others, "Watch for friendlies near the colored smoke. Let's get our boys evac'ed and get the hell out of here!"
As Penny ran out of the helicopter, she ran past one man who was waving his hand as the marines were moving out of the aircraft.
"Wait? Is that Klein?" Weiss asked, recognizing this man.
"Who's that?" Ruby raised her brow at her teammate and her sister.
"He's our butler. He's been loyal to our family for years." Winter said, smilling at the screen, along with her sister. She and Weiss were actually happy to see him because it was a while since they saw him, even though it was just on the screen.
Penny, Winter and the rest rushed into streets with their destination being a building from which green smoke was coming from, taking care of the three enemies that hadn't been in a cover the moment they saw them. Polendina took a cover behind a a bit of a small, as some part it was destroyed. She carefully leaned out and took out a man hiding behind a stony fence with simple shot to the head, before moving forward with the marines, taking out anyone in their path.
"Watch for friendlies near the green smoke on the second floor! Let's get our boys outta there! Move!" Winter shouted as Penny saw two enemies that were left outside rush into the building. Roycewicz, who walked by her side took care of one of them while the other one managed to get away.
The group of marines stopped by the entrance to the building, suspecting that some enemies were inside and their worries were proven to be correct as one of them popped out his head and his weapon from his cover behind a wall. Luckilly he didn't take out anyone from Penny's and Winter's squad. Penny pulled out a flash-bang grenade and threw it inside. At the sound of it exploading, she and the others rushed in the building, at first taking out enemies who weren't blinded by the explosion, then taking care of the enemies that were blinded.
''Hold your fire! Hold your fire! Friendlies up on the second floor! I repeat, we're up on the second floor!" They heard one marine shout from the second floor.
As Winter Penny rushed up the stairs, with Penny, Roycewicz, Lopez, Gaines and the others following her, she heard one of the marine ask her, "So you're our ride out of here?"
''We're it, Captain! Let's move out before they regroup!" Winter stated as Penny moved towards the hole in the wall, which was allowing her and the other to see very clearly what was going on outside. The first thing they saw were two enemy helicopters in the air, dropping off some Cinder's soldiers.
Unfortunely for them, but fortunely for the marines, a Cobra helicopter came by, shooting both of them down, before any enemies could even reach the ground, "Outlaw this is Deadly. Refueled and fully loaded. You guys miss me?"
Sun chuckled as he and Neptune shared a quick fist bump, "Knew it."
"Hell yeah!" Gaines could be heard yelling out in the background.
''Move out! Let's go! Let's go!" Winter shouted as Penny rushed through the hole and immediately took a cover behind a container with Lopez, while Winter, Roycewicz, Gaines and the rest were either on the ground with them, hiding behind a wall, or a pile of junk, or in the building, their attention focused on the enemies on the ground.
Penny and Lopez decided to focus their attention on the building from which the enemies were firing at. Penny looked over at him and Lopez gave her a quick nod before they moved out towards the building as more and more marines were joining them on the ground. She and Lopez rushed into the building, the first one stabbing the approaching enemy with a knife before going up the stairs. She used another flash-bang grenade, and upon hearing it exploading, she and Lopez rushed in, getting rid of the blinded enemies.
When the building was cleared out of any enemies, they rushed down the stairs to see other marines moving through the building, probably towards the LZ. They followed them and went through the alley that lead them to the LZ, all of them watching how the helicopter landed on the ground to take them and the marines they came here to rescue.
"Go! Go!" Winter said, as she, followed by the rest went inside of the Outlaw Two-Five.
"When are they going to get Cinder?" Yang asked.
"Perharps they're going to go after her, now." Blake answered.
"Polendina! Get back on the Mark 19!" Klein shouted to Penny as she did as she told to and got her hands on the grenade launcher again.
As the aircraft began taking off, they heard Command say, "Outlaw, be advised, we have a situation here, over."
''Go ahead Command, over." Outlaw Two-Five said.
"Team Six has located a possible nuclear device as Cinder Fall's palace to the west. NEST teams are on the way. Until the device is verified safe, all forces are to fall back to the east, over." Command informed.
B bit his lips, knowing what this meant as he heard Miltia say, one of the twins unaware what a nuclear device was,"All of them should retreat, just because someone saw a device?"
"I wonder what that is." Melanie said.
Junior rubbed his chin, "It may have been that package we saw back on the mission when they attacked that ship."
"Or something completely new." Neo stated.
As all of the aircrafts were making their way to the east, just as they were ordered to by their Command, an enemy rocket came out of nowhere, and worst of all, this time, it actually hit something.
"Something just had to happen during their retreat." Raven stated.
The tail rotor of the airship was burning, as he engine was struggling to to keep working despise the damage it just got as it's pilot called out, "We're hit we're hit! I've lost the tail rotor!''
After the airship hit one of the trees, it spinned out of control as it's pilot cried out, "Mayday mayday, this is Deadly, going in hard! We're going down!"
Just a second after the Cobra helicopter crashed on the ground, Outlaw Two-Five spoke up about the situation, "We have a Cobra down. I repeat, we have a Cobra down. Deadly this is Outlaw Two-Five, come in, over! Command, I have a visual on the crash site. I see small arms fire coming from the cockpit. Request permission to initiate search and rescue, over.''
''Copy 2-5, be advised, you will NOT be at a safe distance in the event that nuke goes off. Do you understand?" Command asked him.
"So, nuke is like a explosion, or something similiar to that?" Winter asked.
"If that is true then I don't understand why they're so worried about it. I doubt that there is an explosive that is able to destroy the entire city." Ironwood stated, to which Winter nodded her head in agreement.
"Roger that. We know what we're getting into." Outlaw Two-Five replied.
''All right 2-5, it's your call. Retrieve that pilot if you can. Out." Command said.
''Deadly, do you copy? What's your status, over?" Outlaw Two-Five asked.
"I don't understand. The first part of this mission was about saving an entire group of them, and now they are leaving them a chance if they should save a single man who is heavily outnumbered." Summer stated.
"This must be something about that nuclear device they mentioned earlier. They are really that afraid of it?" Tai asked.
The Cobra pilot coughed, the noises of him firing back at Cinder's soldiers could be heard in the background, as Outlaw Two-Five was landing on the ground, "I'm here!...Keating is KIA! Hostiles moving in fast! I sure could use some help down here!"
"Hold on, we're coming to ya." Outlaw Two-Five said as Penny got her hands off the grenade launcher and readied her M4A1.
Winter, Penny, Roycewicz, Lopez, Gaines and all other marines rushed out of the helicopter and headed towards the wounded Cobra Pilot, as Command told them, "Be advised, 2-5, hostiles advancing parallel southwest of your position towards the crash site."
''We got 90 seconds, Polendina! Get the pilot! NO ONE gets left behind!" Winter shouted.
"That's right! No one should be left behind!" Ruby shouted, pointing at the screen.
"That's right, friend Ruby!" Penny added.
Upon reaching the Cobra Pilot, Winter shouted, as she began to fire back at Cinder's soldiers firing at it, her squad doing the same, and there was actually no one going for the Cobra Pilot at this moment, "Polendina! Pull her out of there and get back to the LZ! We'll cover you go!"
Penny quickly moved towards the Cobra Pilot, who was helping the marines by firing at the enemies from his Mp5. She reached her hands out for him as she moved towards her, allowing her to grab and put him on his back. She began to move towards the Outlaw Two-Five as Winter and the rest followed shortly after, not forgetting to cover her.
"Lt. Schnee, this is Outlaw Two-Five, now would be a good time to get the hell outta here over." Outlaw Two-Five declared.
''Roger that we're on our way!" Winter assurred him.
Penny brings the Cobra Pilot to the helicopter while Winter and the team provided her cover from incoming enemy forces. She then set him down on a seat. The Cobra Pilot offered her a quick nod of his head as he drew out his MP5 to to fend off more insurgents. Penny turned around to hold off hostiles as the marines were quickly joining her, Klein and Cobra Pilot in the helicopter.
''Outlaw this is command. We have a probable nuclear threat at the capital. Proceed to the minimum safe distance until the all clear has been given by the NEST team." Command said.
"I'm really getting more worried about this nuke." Pyrrha stated.
"Why?" Nora asked her teammate.
"They sound so paronoid about it. They must have a good reason to be afraid of it." Pyrrha pointed out.
Winter, Roycewicz, Lopez and Gaines were the last ones left outside. All of them kneeling down and firing at the enemies, before the Schnee went into the aircraft, which was followed by Roycewicz. Lopez rised up too, and gave Gaines a quick pat on the shoulder, as the two of them made their way into aircraft.
"Go! Go!" Winter shouted as Outlaw began taking off into the air, Penny and Klein still firing at the enemies that had gathered around, trying to take them out until they disappeared from their view as the helicopter took out on full speed.
''Ladies and gentlemen this is your Captain speaking. We're in for some chop! Hang on! Jake gimme max power." Outlaw Two-Five said.
As Outlaw Two-Five was leaving this area, Penny and Klein who were in the front of the aircraft were able to see many other helicopters that hadn't left, yet, flying behind them.
''All Atlesian forces, be advised, we have a confirmed nuclear threat in the city. NEST teams are on site and attempting to disarm." Command repeated himself about the threat again.
"We know that already, dude!" Russel pointed out.
"They just can't stop repeating themselves, do they?" Coco asked.
"Apparently not." Mercury stated.
B sighed, knowing what is going to happen in the next few seconds, thinking to himself, "And here we go."
''I repeat, we have a confirmed nu..."
Suddenly, before the warning could be repeated, it was cut off by static as a explosion went off in the distance. Klein looked away and shielded his eyes with his other arm not holding his M9 pistol to avoid witnessing the flash of the detonation. When he finally took a glance at what was happening, all he could do was stare and disbelief at what had just happened. As the mushroom cloud began to rise into the air, the shock wave knocked down many helicopters and destroyed everything in its path.
"Wait what!" Neptune was the first one from the audience to speak up as the massive suprise at what just transpired overcame their bodies. He was quickly followed by other people in the audience, who just like him couldn't believe their eyes.
"Oh my gosh..." Velvet said, covering her mouth in shock.
"Holy crap!" Nora shouted as she put her hands on her head. The energetic orange haired girl who was cheering everytime when something exploded on the screen was now in a state of complete shock.
"Oh, shit!" Mercury shouted, his and Emerald's eyes widening in shock. Cinder seemed to be shocked as well, she was hoping that her character in this had something under her sleeve because so far not everything was going just as she wanted it to go, but this was far away from what she was excepting. It was just a second before she could feel a small smirk forming on her face.
"What the hell was that?!" Cardin shouted, he and his entire team staring in shock at the massive explosion on the screen.
"All those airships..." Pyrrha said.
"It's taking them down as if they were nothing." Fox observed with wide eyes at how the helicopters were dropping from sky like flies. He was excepting Cinder to have something under her sleeve, but something like that never crossed his mind.
"That was the nuke they mentioned earlier?!" Tai asked, cursing himself for asking why the marines afraid of this weapon.
"Everyone hang on!" Winter's voice shouting those words was the last thing the audience hear someone say as the shock wave reached Penny's and Winter's helicopter.
"Penny..." Ruby said in worry for her friend.
"Winter... Klein..." Weiss said in worry for her sister and butler.
Penny and Klein were knocked off their feet, and the latter one began to slide out of the helicopters ramp. Penny reached out and grabbed him by the hand, doing the best she could to pull him back in, but the force was too strong and his hand slipped. Klein got pulled out of the chopper. Penny then fell on her back and hung onto the seats until Outlaw Two-Five crashed, knocking her unconscious upon the impact.
B, having a chance to witness this scene many times before, turned around to the audience to witness their reaction to the nuclear explosion. Yang and Blake stared at the screen, neither of them having idea what to say, and when it came to Yang, it was actually something new. Ruby and Weiss stared at the screen, worried for Penny and Winter, the latter one was also worried for Klein as she watched him got pulled off the chopper by the impact. Coco removed her sunglasses from her eyes to make sure that it really happened. Qrow stared at the screen with wide eyes, as he dropped his flask in shock on the ground, spilling the liquor all over the floor as she was intending to take a sip in just a second before the explosion went off. Ironwood was just staring, unable to say anything, having no idea that an explosion like that was even possible. Arthur Watts had the same reaction as him. Penny's and Winter's went wide, neither of them having idea what happened to them. Sienna Khan rubbed her the back of her head, her expresion showing complete shock. Even Tyrian Callows sunk back in his chair, the crazy scorpion faunus was actually spechless about what happened, not having a chance to witness anything like that in his life before. As for Salem herself, well, he couldn't actually read her expression, as she probably seemed to have the most stoic expression from the audience at this moment.
The rest of the audience had pretty much the same reaction. They all just went silent, their eyes shot open, and some of them dropped their jaws in shock,
"Everyone. I present the nuclear explosion." B told them, gesturing towards the screen, pressing the button, starting next mission.
The aftermath of the explosion started with A.M.C emblem spinning around.
"Wait, it's not over, yet?" Roman asked.
"Now what?" Vernal asked.
The camera began to lower itself down on Vacuo, until the audience were able to see how the nuclear explosion was looking from the view of a bird.
"Something has happened." Lisa Lavender's voice was the first one to speak up.
She was followed by a few other voices, one of them saying, "What appears to be an explosion of an epic proportion..."
''Reports remain sketchy and unconfirmed at this time..."
''Damage appears to be total... to set off what appears to have been a nuclear explosion in her own country...''
''Maybe the start of something larger that on whether Cinder Fall was among the victims in what may have been a suicidal..."
''What I can see from the hotel here is a mushroom cloud, about 45 by..."
''...Continue to burn across a massive wasteland, that was once a capital for this thriving nation..."
Four list of the marines appeared on the screen, it was scrolling so fast that no one from the audience was able to read it.
"So many lives..." Ironwood said. He couldn't imagine himself losing so many soldiers in a matter of second. He wouldn't actually know what he'd do if something like that happened to him in real life.
One of the names suddenly lightened itself up in blue, this name was no other than Penny Polendina, as the screen went black just for a second.
Penny regained her consciousness, a few cough leaving her mouth as she was able to look around her. She was still in the helicopter, but unfortunely none of them marines she was with were there.
"Penny!" Ruby shouted, relieved that her friend was still alive, but this feeling was going to be short lived.
"She's alive." Jaune stated.
"That's good, right?" Nora asked.
"But what about Winter?" Weiss asked, growing more worried as her sister was nowhere to be seen.
"And the rest?" Pyrrha added.
Even though she was severely wounded by the crash, Penny found the strength in herself and started crawling her way out of the helicopter, as she could hear someone say in the radio, "Flash. NBC-1 Nuclear. Bravo - NB-0 6-2, 6-3-4. Charlie - 90 degree grid. Hotel - surface. Juliet - 90 seconds."
As she was reaching the exit, she could her some woman say, "Be advised, nuclear detonation detected, fallout predicted within a radius of 7.4 miles, epicenter located at N-G-0-5-8-6-8-0. Personnel within primary affected zone are ordered to commence immediate evacuation. Contamination centers are being established at this time, and they should be operational within 2 hours. Personnel are advised to be there, I am (static). Personnel with highly elevated levels are advised to seek medical attention at the first available opportunity. ''
The transmission ended, as Penny crawled out of the chopper, falling on the ground, letting out a grunt at the pain of the impact. It was when the audience was able to see what was going on outside. Buildings in front of her collapsed due to the explosion as the everything around looked like a tornado went through this place. A massive mushroom cloud was seen in distance.
"Oh my..." Summer said, putting her hands on her mouth, looking at the destruction caused by the nuke.
"So much destruction..." Ozpin observed, staring the destrucion on the screen in shock.
"And all of it caused by a single explosive?" Oobleck asked.
Penny found the strenght in herself again as she began to crawl along the road, passing by a face that the audience knew. The pilot Penny and her fellow marines saved just a moment ago was laying on the ground, gasping for a breath, a drops of blood leaving his mouth.
"Poor guy." Yatsuhashi whispered to himself, shaking his head.
"Why? They just saved him!" Velvet cried out at the view of the Cobra Pilot.
It was when another person appeared in the audience view. It was Winter. She was on her feet, walking, or rather stumbling forward herself.
"There's Winter!" Weiss shouted, looking relieved that her sister was still alive.
"She's also alive." Ruby said.
"But where's Klein?" Winter asked, there wasn't any sight of the butler around.
As if Winter had promted her, Penny slowly got herself back on her feet, even though she was stumbling, just like Winter and it was just a matter of time before she'll fall agan. She began walking towards the Schnee, walking past Roycewicz's lifeless body, not a breath leaving his lungs.
It was just a second before Winter collapsed on the ground. She started to crawl forward, coughing every second as she did so, until she just stopped. She didn't move anymore.
"What's wrong with her? Why did she stop?" Neptune asked.
Penny made her way over to now Winter's lifeless body, and stared at it, realizing one thing. Winter Schnee was gone.
"Winter..." Weiss said, feeling how tears formed in her eyes as she watched her sisters lifeless body on the screen. She didn't care if this was just a fictonal character that Winter had taken the place of. It was still her sister. A few tears actually went down her cheek as she could feel Pyrrha who sat on the left side of her put her around her, comfortingly. Winter would have done it if she was in her place, but she sat in another crowd.
"Specialist Schnee..." Ironwood whispered to himself, looking at how this version of his best specialist layed on the ground, dead.
It didn't took long before Penny joined Winter on the ground. She took a few steps forward, until she collapsed herself. She didn't stand up after that. Looking at the mushroom cloud was all she did.
"Penny..." Ruby sniffed for her friend, her sister wrapping her arm around her to comfort her.
It was the last thing that happened, before the mission ended, screen going to black.
"What were you saying to me?" Cinder instantly asked after the screen went to black, looking around everyone who told her how badly she was prepared for her war, actually sounding proud of what her character just did, "That I should have prepared myself better?"
"What?" Tai asked.
"You're actually proud of what your character just did?" Ghira asked, turning to Cinder, shocked that anyone would be actually proud of something like that. He'd feel ashamed, If would have been put in the place of the character that Cinder is playing, despise the fact that it would have been him just being put in a place of a fictional character.
The look he got from Cinder was the only reaction he had to get to know the answer.
"So, what do you think?" B asked them.
"That was just..." Raven said, trying to find the right word, and when she found one, it still couldn't tell what she felt after seeing the explosion, "Unexpecting."
"I'd never say that an explosion like that was possible." Goodwitch stated.
"You weren't kidding when you said we're going to wish that the bad things we saw during Lionheart's execution were all the bad things we saw." Ren stated. Yang was still comforting Ruby, who wasn't sniffing anymore.
"Oh, Ren. Just wait until we'll get to the sequel." B said, having a certain mission in his mind.
"I'm actually quite impressed by the scale of this explosion." Salem stated, knowing that she had seen something similiar in the past, remembering how the brothers got rid of the entire army she formed after convicing them to join them by showing that she's immortal in a matter of seconds. Not only that, she was the only human that was left at least it was until the brothers created a new world with both humans and faunus before leaving Remnant.
"Does the place from which you come from anything like that?" Ozpin asked him.
"It does." B confirmed with a nod of his head, crossing his arms, "We found a way how to use nuclear energy and weaponize it into a nuclear bombs. The bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima killed 66,000 people and injured 69,000. And for years afterwards, the effects of the radiaton was still killing people."
"That's horrible." Kali stated, horrified.
"Thankfully those weapons have been banned and we're working towards their elimination." B added.
"I can't wait until we'll get our hands on Cinder." Yang said.
"So do I." Weiss said, referring towards what happened to Winter.
B just nodded his head, knowing that they're going to get what they want in the next mission.
