In the dead of night in Atlas, Adam Taurus and the White Fang marched on the Schnee Manor. It was a silent trip. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of their collective marching.  As they got closer to the Schnee Manor, Adam could see the destruction that he would unleash on the Schnees. In his mind, the Schnee Family represented the very ideals of humanity in which he hated. It was the Schnees who had Faunus toil in the Dust Mines as cheap labor. It was the Schnees who treated the Faunus worse than animals. And on a personal reason, it was the Schnees who branded him. Adam soon turned to his forces. 

Adam: The time has come. In that manor lies the Schnee Family: the architects of the constant misery the Faunus endure! To them, we're nothing more than mindless animals who's sole purpose is to work to death in their mines. They think themselves untouchable. We will show them just how wrong they are. 

At the front of the massive White Fang army was the Sword Of The Faunus. They raised their weapons in salute to Adam Taurus. The rest of the White Fang did the same. 

Adam: Tonight, the fall of the Schnees is at hand. A ring of Faunus vengeance shall encircle them. We will storm the manor and unleash our fury! Do not kill the Schnees. I want them all brought to me alive. I want the world to see what happens to enemies of the Faunus. Surround the manor. I want no one to escape. 

As Adam gave his orders, a legion of White Fang Troopers began to surround the manor. Those that remained, Adam raised his sword. 

Adam: The time has come for us to unleash our fury on the Schnees! Show the world the power of the White Fang Empire! 

HK-47: Statement: This is going to be fun. Master!

Adam: HK, kill any who stand in your way, but leave the Schnees alive. 

HK-47: Commentary: Understood, Master. The Schnee Meatbags will be brought to you alive. I'll kill anyone who tries to disobey that order. 

With that, Adam gave the order and the White Fang began to storm the Schnee Manor. In his office, Jacques Schnee hears a commotion. His youngest son Whitley barges in the room. 

Jacques: What the devil is going on out there?! I specifically asked for peace and quiet!

Whitley: Father! We're....we're under attack!

Jacques: What?! Preposterous! 

Jacques then looks out the window of his office and see his security detail being overrun by White Fang troopers. In that moment, Jacques was stricken with fear. Meanwhile, Adam and HK-47 killed their way through the security detail as well as the manor staff. 

Adam: Show no mercy! 

HK-47 gleefully shot down anyone who tried to run away. Meanwhile, Klein was taking Whitley to Willow Schnee's private room. As the two entered Willow's room, the Schnee Matriarch was confused. 

Willow: I heard a commotion. What's going on? 

Whitley: We're under attack, Mother! The White Fang is here!

Klein: Not to worry! I know a way for us to escape!

Before Klein could put his plan into action, the invaders began to break down the door into Willow's room. Blaster shots were heard as HK-47 kicked down the door. HK-47 shot at the ceiling as a squadron of White Fang troopers 

HK-47: Interjection: Stop right where you are, meatbag!

Without hesitation, Klein attacked several members of the White Fang in an attempt to buy time for Willow and Whitley to make their escape. It didn't last long as when Klein moved to attack HK-47, the assassin droid proceeds to shoot Klein in the head, killing him. This scene horrifies the two Schnees as HK-47 aims his blaster rifle at them. 

HK-47: Statement: I am under strict orders from the Master to bring you in alive. If you attempt to run, I will shoot your legs. 

With that, Whitley and Willow had become prisoners of the White Fang. Meanwhile, Jacques was trying to find a away to escape the Schnee Manor. He quickly saw that the Schnee Manor was blocked off with no way out. When he heard footsteps heading into his office, he hides in a hidden compartment. Just as he hides, Adam and a group of White Fang troopers enter the office. 

Adam: Did you find Jacques Schnee? 

White Fang Trooper: No sir. We've just received word that two of the Schnees have been captured. We have full control of the Manor. 

Adam: Good. Round the remaining staff and guards. Once you do, execute them. 

The White Fang troopers then leave as Adam enters the office. He readies his sword as he looks around. During his search, he hears a faint sound coming from the floorboards. Without hesitation, Adam breaks through the hidden door and pulls a whimpering Jacques Schnee out. 

Adam: Jacques Schnee. We meet at last. 

Jacques: Get your hands off of me, you animal! 

Adam felt enraged by Jacques's words. However, he kept his composure. 

Adam: Your time has come, Jacques Schnee. The time has come for you and your family to face judgement. 

Adam soon claimed his prize. He now had the Schnee Family as his prisoners. With that, the White Fang Empire's attack on the Schnee Manor was an overwhelming victory. Now with the Schnee Family as his prisoners, Adam Taurus prepared to make an example out of them in front of the entire world.
