After stealing the SDC Airships, Adam Taurus begins the journey to infiltrate Atlas. The journey was silent as he anticipates the battle ahead. To him, Atlas was the symbol of the cruelty of Humanity. Not only was it the home of the Atlesian Military who had been responsible for countless atrocities against the Faunus, but also the Schnee Dust Company where they profit off the pain and misery of the Faunus. Adam soon approaches HK-47 who was piloting the airship. 

Adam: How much farther to Atlas?

HK-47: Answer: We should be approaching Atlas very soon, Master. 

As HK-47 says this, the floating city of Atlas came into view. What he saw was a blockade of Atlesian Military Airships as well as a Hard-light Dust shields which protected the city. They were soon contacted by Atlas Command. 

Radio: This is Atlas Command. We have you on our screen now. Please identify. 

As Atlas Command contacts Adam's ship, HK-47 adjusts his vocabulator to match the SDC Captain's voice. 

HK-47: This is SDC Unit 421 requesting deactivation of the shields, over. 

Radio: SDC Unit 421 transmit to the clearance code for shield passage, over. 

HK-47: Transmission commencing. 

HK-47 then begins to transmit the clearance code he acquired from the SDC Captain. After transmitting the code, there was a moment of silence. The silence was soon broken by the radio. 

Radio: SDC Unit 421, deactivation of the shield shall commence immediately. Maintain your present course. 

With that, the shields were lowered and the White Fang were able to fly past the blockade. Once they entered Atlas, the shields were reactivated. 

HK-47: Statement: We have successfully infiltrated Atlas. The meatbags have no idea that we have just infiltrated their city. 

Adam: Good. Land us somewhere secluded. But don't draw too much attention to us. 

HK-47 continued to pilot the airship while the other one followed. Eventually, the two ships landed in the outskirts of the city. As the ships landed, Adam Taurus and HK-47 gathered the entirety of the White Fang outside the ships. The White Fang soldiers including the Sword Of The Faunus were in the heart of enemy territory. 

Adam: Faunus! The time has come for us to lay waste to our enemies! The rotten cancer of Humanity ravage the Faunus like a plague. The arrogance of their leaders is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. We will crush all those who dare to resist the will of the White Fang Empire! These animals raped and marauded the Faunus without mercy! We shall show none in return! They will soon know the unforgiving wrath of the Faunus! 

The proud members of the White Fang rallied behind their leader. They were in the heart of enemy territory surrounded by enemies. Despite being heavily outnumbered, they showed no sign of fear. 

Adam: We have lost many brave brothers and sisters in our struggle, but their sacrifice is not in vain. Atlas will soon feel our unforgiving wrath. We will show them the same cruelty as they have shown us! When we are done, Humanity's supremacy over us will be a forgotten memory.

As Adam rallies his troops, HK-47 begins analyzing the map of Atlas for all possible targets. He soon found one which he knew Adam would most enjoy. 

HK-47: Statement: Master, I believe I have found a target that you will most enjoy. 

HK-47 then shows Adam a holoprojection of the Schnee Manor. As Adam lays his eyes on the holoprojection, he saw a truly perfect target. Out of all the Humans in the world, it was the Schnees who he hated the most. It was the company that bore their name that used the Faunus as slave labor. He was branded their mark on his face. 

Adam: We have our first target! We will march on the Schnee Manor and burn it to the ground! We will slaughter anyone who dares stand in our way! But I have plans for the Schnee Family. Leave them to me. We will show the world the true power of the White Fang Empire! The Schnees believe themselves to be untouchable! But we will show them that no one is untouchable! We will show them that no one is above reprisal! For too long, the Schnees have used our brothers and sisters as slaves in their mines! They brutalize those who speak out against their cruelties! I know because I bear that scar! 

Adam then takes over his mask revealing the Schnee Dust Company logo branded on his face. The crowd was stunned as they had never seen their leader's face until now. To see that their leader had once been a slave only strengthened their resolve to see their leader's vision come to life. 

Adam: The hardships I endured as their slave have left me scarred, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. The time has come for the White Fang Empire to rise from the ashes of our enemies! Do not hesitate! Show no mercy! 

With that, the White Fang Empire began marching on the Schnee Manor. Adam Taurus proudly led the march as HK-47 marched by his master's side. For him, this was an opportunity to kill more meatbags. This attack on the Schnee Manor would send ripples not only across Atlas, but through all of Remnant. This invasion would startle all the major powers that rule Remnant. But none of that mattered to Adam.
