RWBY: Ironwood's Redo

Part 4: Prepare for battle.

Hey everyone! This is out last chapter before we get into some action! Also, i've decided that my version of Winter is gonna be a lot more emotional. It's not very fun to write a character that's like a brick wall with legs. So from now on, Winter will be a bit more like Weiss.

Ontop of that, the Chapter 3 vote is now over. I only got one comment but it was absolutely hilarious, so yes dear readers, at some point somebody will call Salem: Salami Mommy. Probably Ironwood. Since Cyrus was a huge simp and avid Lemon writer and reader. ^^

Enjoy!

After dealing with Neo, and ordering Winter to watch over her. Ironwood had made his way back to his office. Once he had arrived, he removed the Relic Of Knowledge from his drawer, sat it down and began inspecting it. He sighed and laid it down. Allowing it to float freely.

Ironwood: .... This is the one move i don't want to make. Sacrifice a pawn... To take aim at the Queen.

Ironwood pulls a scroll from another drawer and pulls up his contacts. He swipes down, before landing on Jacques Schnee. He looks back to the lamp, and prepares to say something. But he stops himself. He dials Jacques and inserts the scroll into his desk, which pulls up a holographic display. It rings a gew times, before displaying a very tired looking Jacques.

Jacques: James, it is 12:30. What could you possibly want at this time!?

Ironwood: Jacques, good to see you. I'm  calling to purchase a... Large quantity of dust from you. I'm sure with the Embargo, you'd love a good profit?

Jacques immediately straights up and smooths down his hair. He gets his usual business look and looks back into the screen.

Jacques: You want Dust? Well, considering that i haven't been able to export any, i have plently simply lying around. What type are you requesting?

Ironwood: Gravity.

Jacques looks away from the screen for a moment and begins typing something.
After he's done he looks back up and ushers for James to continue.

Jacques: Form?

Ironwood: Ground. Biggest canisters you can put them in.

Jacques scoffs and types some more. He shakes his head and once again looks into the screen

Jacques: We currently have an... 'Excess' of it right now. So there'll be plenty for whatever you need it for.

James leans back in his chair, and then gets a smirk. Earning a confused look from Jacques. He leans back and gets very close to the screen.

Ironwood: Good. I want all of it. Even what you're selling in dust shops. I want every speck of Gravity dust floating around MY Kingdom. You will recieve your payment after it is delivered. Does a few million Lien sound alright?.

Jaqcues almost has a heart attack at the price point. Not caring at all about recalling all Gravity dust in the Kingdom. He nods slowly and quickly types something.

Ironwood: I also want it before the Election. I expect that all the commotion would delay the shipments.

Jaqcues nods again and finshes typing. He looks back into the screen, and almost looks... Happy? He doesn't look right when he's happy.

Jacques: I'll begin recalls tonight. Shipments will begin tonight as well.

Ironwood: Great. Pleasure doing business with you. Also, before i hang up. I'm taking over one of your abandoned Mines out in the Tundra. I'm sure you won't mind?
