HK-47: The White Fang's Assassin

Chapter Twenty Six - Creation

After broadcasting Ironwood's execution, Adam along with HK-47 and Samanya entered the elevator where it took them to the entrance to the Atlas Vault. As they stood before the entrance to the vault, they found that the door was sealed with no way if opening it. Using the intel retrieved by HK-47, Adam glances to Samanya.

Adam: Open the vault.

Without hesitation, Samanya used her Maiden Powers to open the door. As they enter the Vault, they found themselves on a stone platform. At the enter of the platform was a golden ornamented staff with a blue spearhead-shaped crystal on top. It also features a smaller crystal on the bottom.

HK-47: Observation: This item matches the description of the Relic of Creation.

As Adam cast his eyes on the Staff, he wondered about the nature of this item and why Ironwood fought so hard to keep it hidden. There was much that Adam didn't know, but one thing was clear. There was something happening behind the scenes. Whatever it was, Cinder and Ironwood were connected somehow. Cinder had sought to use the White Fang as pawns while Ironwood sought to destroy them to keep the Relic hidden. The assaults on Beacon and Haven as well as the revelation that these academies had these Relics of power hidden beneath them. Everything was connected somehow. As Adam walked towards the Staff, he realized that he had inadvertently stumbled into a shadow war waged between two factions. Despite this, this shadow war didn't matter. All that mattered was the cause. Anyone who stood in his way were enemies of the Faunus. Without hesitation, Adam grabbed the Staff. As he wielded the Staff, a muscular, blue-skinned figure takes form before them and flexes gratefully. 

Ambrosius: Ah! It seems someone has come to engage my creative wiles! All I'll say is it had better be worth it after my last project.

Adam: What manner of creature are you?

Ambrosius: You may call me Ambrosius. I am the spirit that resides in the Staff. 

HK-47: Query: Master, do you suggest this incorporeal meatbag is as susceptible to blaster fire as regular meatbags?

Adam: Hold your fire, HK. 

HK-47: Analysis: 98% probability that this incorporeal meatbag means us no harm. 2% probability that this incorporeal meatbag is simply looking for trouble and needs to be blasted. Though that may be wishful thinking on my part. 

As Adam approached Ambrosius, HK-47 and Samanya stood beside him. Ambrosius became curious about Adam. 

Adam: What is your purpose? 

Ambrosius: I create. I can build anything that you desire, but only if you can explain to him how. Like any craftsman, I'll need blueprints. But before we move forward, I feel that we need to go over the rules. 

Samanya: What rules? 

Ambrosius: It's against the rules for me to bring people back from dead. I cannot destroy, only create. And whatever you wish to be created, I need detailed plans of whatever it is that you wish to be built. 

It was at this moment that Adam realized that he had an opportunity on his hands. He was now in possession a something that could make the White Fang Empire even more powerful. Seeking counsel, he turns to HK-47. 

Adam: HK, if any of your previous masters had this power, what would they create with it?

As Adam asked HK-47 that question, the Assassin Droid immediately became interested as he went over his memory banks detailing his time with all his previous masters. 

HK-47: Answer: When I saw the personal assassin of Darth Revan, he commanded the full might of the Star Forge. 

Adam: The Star Forge? 

HK-47: Clarification: The Star Forge was a giant automated shipyard with the capabilities of creating the most powerful army of all time. I have the full detailed schematics downloaded into my memory banks. 

HK-47 then proceeds to tell Adam about the Star Forge. He tells the story of how Darth Revan used the power of the Star Forge to create the most powerful fleet the Galaxy had ever seen until it's destruction at Revan's hands. It was at that point that Adam knew what he would have Adam build. 

Adam: Ambrosius. I want you to create the Star Forge. 

Ambrosius: Interesting. Just know, I will give you exactly what you ask for and I don't want any complaining when it's not what you wanted.

Adam: HK-47 will give you the schematics. 

Ambrosius: Then it shall be done. Before I build this...Star Forge, I must warn you. The moment I begin building the Star Forge, my previous creation will be destroyed. 

Adam: And what was your last creation?

Ambrosius: The floating city of Atlas. 

As Ambrosius said this, Adam couldn't help but smile. In creating the Star Forge, Atlas would be destroyed. 

Adam: HK, send a transmission to all our forces. I want all White Fang forces evacuated. Any Faunus who wishes to join our cause, now is the time. 

HK-47: Compliance: Understood, Master. 

HK-47 then transmitted Adam's orders to all White Fang forces as well as the reprogrammed Atlesian Droids. After that, HK-47 gives Ambrosius the schematics of the Star Forge. As Ambrosius looks over the Star Forge schematics, he makes an expansive gesture, then makes some more hand movements, a bright glow emanating from his hands. Time freezes as Ambrosius creates the Star Forge. In the skies of Atlas, the Star Forge takes form as the energy that levitated the city of Atlas stops, causing the city to plummet to the ground. After the construction of the Star Forge, Adam Taurus along with HK-47 and Samanya exited the Vault with the Relic of Knowledge. As the city of Atlas plummeted to the ground, all White Fang forces evacuated from the city of Atlas. Joining them were thousands of Faunus refuges who flocked to the White Fang Empire. All White Fang forces gathered in the newly constructed Star Forge. Adam watched with a smile on his face as the city of Atlas crashes next to the city of Mantle. As the city of Atlas lay in ruins, the White Fang Empire now had the full power of the Star Forge at it's disposal.
