Once more, familiar surroundings registered in Winter's vision as her Bullhead neared the Foundry. She could see the fluttering Wayland Flag, the tall smoking furnaces, the marble and concrete facade of the Wayland factory. Winter had to admit to herself that she felt excitement at her assignment. Why should she not when she could witness the birth of new and wonderful weapons that would contribute to the defense of Atlas?
She said her goodbyes to her unit. The s...

In the end, they both failed to make a compromise.
Yeaman sighed, sinking into his seat as his car drove through the streets of Atlas. Ironwood was incredibly stubborn and refused to budge. He did not need to be a political genius to recognize that if the general refused to compromise with him, everything that they had worked so hard for would be for nothing. His family had already distanced themselves from him and his friends were slowly dwindling, fully aware o...

Mechs. Mechs. Mechs.
I have to admit that I didn't really like mechs. Sure, they were cool and all but I liked tanks more. However, Remnant was not a place for tanks and Ironwood did not ask for them. Like the bullhead with its VTOL capability, the mech made sense to use in Remnant. Outside of the big city, there were no roads that could allow for swift deployment. Sure, tanks could cross country just fine on flat lands and mow down a tree or two but the scale of...

In Arc 2, a Schnee will get clapped. Who would you prefer to see getting clapped first?
I am asking this question to know the priority of clapping.
To be more specific: Winter is just going to be plain vanilla with Alex. With Willow, papa Wayland pays respect to the Wayland myth and steals Willow (We are cucking Jacques Schnee)

"Mayday! Mayday! This is CB1525! We are under attack! Requesting immediate assistance at Grid 241-" The pilot's words died down as a thick Nevermore feather slammed into the Bullhead's bow, spearing him through his chest. He died immediately, eyes still intense and focused as he slumped. The Bullhead swerved downwards, engines screeching as air sucked in through flaming parts. Florianne grit her teeth as she rushed forwards and slammed through the metal doors, aura and adrena...

Willow Schnee glanced at herself in the mirror, her legs crossed as numerous hands went ahead brushing her hair, adjusting her clothes, and preparing her for her first public debut as temporary CEO of the Schnee Dust Company. The make-up artists had done their best to return her to life and vibrancy; their mastery of their arts evident with how life-like her face was now. Gone was the shadow under her eyes, the listlessness of a woman that had given up on life.

Tobias Frick had been an engineer for Royal and Imperial for a good ten years. Yet despite his time working there, the Waylands never ceased to amaze him with every item they would forge. There was a reason why only Mantle wielded guns during the Great War, its invention made possible because of Mantle's last Emperor requesting a weapon that would allow them to engage the enemy at a distance.
The Wayland bloodline had to be blessed for the semblance they ha...

General Ironwood sat on his seat, arms crossed, as his mind debated. The noise of the bullhead's engines did not register to him as he mulled.
It had been weeks since the Miracle of the 33, as the pundits had put it, and what a miracle it was. By all rights, the miners should have all been dead either crushed by rubble or just wholesale starved from the experience. Be it the will of the Brother-Gods or just fate, they did not. They were all dug from the pit they were trapped i...

Jackson yawned as he took a step outside his home. As his eyes adjusted, the first thing he saw was the watchtower erected on the edge of his town. It was not a difficult sight to miss as a ring of them surrounded his frontier village, alongside other fortifications and preparations. Outsiders and newcomers from the cities were usually shocked in seeing such things, decrying it as militarism but their complaints usually were quieted when the Grimm would come and the town woul...

The room was sterile white. While it was sufficiently decorated, it was clean and bereft of any color or life, much like the man seated behind the clear glass window that separated him from freedom and bondage.
Councillor Geyer, Yeaman, and General Ironwood all voted to have him arrested. The other two were powerless to stop it. Instead of running away, he had given himself easily. Winter did not know why her father did not flee but she figured he was that suicidal enough t...

Qrow had to admit, he had fought in high-intensity battles before. Some against fellow humans, others against Grimm. But fighting a battle alongside crazy Frontier boonies, Atlesian marines, the remnants of Mistral's old army in the middle of the freezing cold while they were trying to get faunus miners out of the dirt was something so ridiculous, only a movie studio could of think that.
But life had a funny way of imitating art.
Harbinger had seen use in their sector at least. In...

"Miss Emerald! Where are you?" the voice of the lady echoed in the halls. Emerald Sustrai said nothing, hiding behind a marble column as the maid staked through the hallways carrying a dress in hand. Emerald did not like that dress. It was far too pink for her tastes and girly. The lady was annoying too. Always fussing over her as if she was made of glass.
It had been days since she had been a scared little girl in the streets of Vale. And now, she was a scared little girl in ...

Laughs echoed around the table.
Georg Yeaman tried his best to ignore it but that and the drowning music being played by the live band made it hard. Instead, he glanced down at his soup, noting its richness and taste. The day had turned to night and most had already went home. General Conrad had decided to invite him, Councillor Ferdinand, and Jacques Schnee to his manor for dinner. Geyer was invited but the eccentric woman had turned it down to go home. And by h...

The man before was scared, that was easy to see.
Wilhelm Yeaman was well into his middle-age, his face was sagging and his hair combed neatly. His voice was soft, like a whisper and his eyes was just as soft as well.
"I...I hate it too, Councillor Geyer. This...this disaster," Yeaman whispered. His accent was aristocratic, genteel.
"Yet you hesitate," Florianne pointed out, sitting across his desk. They were in his office now, two glasse...

"Absolutely not," Jacques Schnee said flatly.
Winter should have expected that considering the absence of morality in the body of the man she called her father. In a ordinary day, she wouldn't have found the strength to stand up against him but now, it was different. She was going to press on. She had seen the TV announcement Alexander had made about a rescue attempt. Even despite the doubt within Winter's mind about the possibility of any survivors in t...

In the end, Cheng agreed to my proposal with the caveat that she be allowed to leave service to reclaim her throne. I had no qualms with that as I wanted her Silver Shields to be the first generation of a army I was envisioning to build. Their skills and training would have been institutionalized by then and there really wasn't no reason for me to keep most of them by then. Speaking of institutions, selling their services to others wouldn't be a hard sell.
They h...

She was ushered to corporate immediately. As soon as the news had hit, the gangly men in suits had arrived to take her and the Academy had far more important things to do than stop them.
Winter Schnee glanced out, her face impassive as she watched the protesters standing outside the SDC HQ, placards in hands and impassioned shouts leaving their lips before rows of riot-police watching them. Across from her, an SDC representative watched the crowds as well and sho...

An hour ago, Emerald feared she was going to be surrendered to the police for stealing. Now, she was trying her best to look presentable in a room she could have only dreamt about in her wildest dreams. Seated on a fine fluffy chair, she winced as the fluffy hat man spoke with the red eyes man.
"You know, boy. When people of your caliber go to amuse themselves, they go and buy cute souvenirs from the little shops. Not pick up street urchins," he spoke. Emerald di...

In one second, I was at Atlas and in the next, on a flight to Vale.
Vale was a interesting place. At the end of the Great War, the Kingdom was arguably the strongest power left in Remnant. Mantle's armies were spent, Mistral was engulfed with chaos as its Imperial Dynasty found itself struggling to deal with its own rebelling citizens. Vacuo was on the winning team but its king had died, the members of its royal family scattered and its armies and economy near go...

Leon sat back on his chair, content. His wife made the best lasagna on Remnant and he was willing to fight anyone that said otherwise.
The family dinner went well. Thanks to R&I keeping him and his fellow workers, they wouldn't starve. A chill ran up his spine as he thought of that. The SDC struggling to repair their rail lines was really starting to hit the market. While he and his wife shopped, it wasn't hard to notice a spike in groceries. Food wa...

The test revealed to me certain things that arm-chairing wouldn’t. The average Remnanite would withstand stuff that a normal fella from good ol’ Terra wouldn’t and hence I could go a little bit bigger in caliber.
I tapped against the table, my eyes glancing towards the FAL copy laying on it. The 7.62 performed adequately against common Grimm albeit it would take a couple of shots to take one down. It was a fair play, to be frank, considering the average Grimm was a large...

"Who are you?" the Buyer's voice broke through the silence. Rifles had been raised all around at the unseen speaker. He bid them all to lower it as the accented voice spoke up.
"As I said, I am Dr Heinrich Beck, the one in charge of this facility. You know who I am but I do not know you," the man replied, a tinge of amusement in his tone. He could see them from somewhere but there were no visible cameras. Hidden ones were the most likely one, thoug...

The clopping of horse-hooves neared him. The clopping stopped as the rider halted.
"My lords, all damages have been accounted for. A few hundred men are dead or injured. Only a few with the enemy," the rider reported. All around, teams of soldiers moved to put out fires, tear down banners and repair fallen structures. Balgruuf nodded and bid the man to take his leave. There was one final salute before the rider rode off. Behind him, Ulfric spurred his horse forwa...

The group continued their advance through the orange mist, weapons always at the ready and with the Buyer at the lead. They stopped every now and then, stumbling corpses shambling towards them with glass eyes and rotten flesh falling from them. They were dispatched quickly, falling on the ground with unceremonious thuds and coin-sized holes in their heads. The anxiety which had gripped Jacky steadily lowered as they made progress. The sight of fallen infected and the skill of the B...

"Should we help him?" asked Iscariot, his trigger-finger itching to fire his weapon.
The wagon shuddered as the Leman Russ erupted in a brilliant display of orange-red light, the cries of the traitors mixed with gunshots and even more explosions. Talia's lips went thin as she went back to sit on her side of the wagon. She gave Iscariot a knowing look.
''Are you sure that our help would be needed even?" she asked dryly. A loud clang ech...

12H sits by him, grasping at his shoulder and looking lost on how to assist him. She decides not to say anything and just listens to Maxwell cry his eyes out. There is a shake as A2 slams a closed fist against the side of a building. Concrete groans and dust billows up as the Attacker model buries her fist into it...
