Klein had brought much of the kitchen staff into the walk in freezer in the basement of the schnee manor. He had hidden 13 people in the freezer, most of them were faunus who's faces were never scene around the manor. He had told them to remain calm and to not panic. It was close for a moment when several strange grimm walked down the stairs, looked around and walked away. He continued to look out a crack in the door when whitley ran down into the basement looking panicked. He ended up stopping infront of the freezer  stopping to take a breath, Klein wrapped an arm around his arm and one on his mouth and pulled him into the freezer. Whitley was suprised as he was pulled in, whitley kicked out wildley and kicked a group of levers. 

The  leveres controlled the mixed red, dark orange, and yellow dust. The dust was forced into a gas form and sent through out the whole manor. The levers sent the gas dust through out the manor at a sped up rate, but due to the damage through out the manor, the pipes spread through released gas into various rooms. soon all of that gas found a source in witch to detonate.  A broken electrical wire was sparking in a room on the second floor and detonated. Over half of the manor went up in flames in the explosion and the shockwave was felt for over a mile. 

The freezer shook violently and everybody inside was tossed to the floor, all the forzen food and shelves falling onto them aswell. For several moments there was a rumble from outside and then nothing. Everyone waited for something to happen, After a few minutes the sound of stuff being moved was heard and the door opened.

When it finally opened a tall older male with singed clothing and white hair smiled at the group.

Nick Schnee: "Its safe to come out now, the grimm seem to have dissappeared." The group was stunned to say the least to see the former patriarch of the Schnee family standing before them.  He looked down to see Whitley and smiled. "I must say, I haven't properly met my grandkid yet."

MEANWHILE

Grimm yang was some distance away looking at the burning structure in the distance with a curious look on her face. She then looked to her right to see the Grimm winter laying on the ground in bad shape. She had lost an arm and both legs, The left side of her face was missing and was leaking black fluids. 

G-winter: "Did we do good, did we weaken Atlas?"

G-yang: " Yes, but not in the way we thought. The schnees are still alive, but we've removed several vital resources for Atlas and Mantal. From what Other grimm are talking about, a major blizzard is heading this way and its getting colder." She says as the distant clouds rolled in and a light snow started to fall. 

G- winter turned her head to a beowulf that sat down next to her and growled at the two of them. The two turned in its direction with a curious look on their faces. 

G-yang: "You sure thats what you saw?" The grimm growled again. "In that case, I will scout out the area. You will take My sister here and find a place for her to fix herself up."  the grimm then grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away. G-yang watched her sister leave before using a claw to cut her arm open and let a puddel form on the ground before stopping the flow of blood.  After saying a few muttered words she watched the black liquid form a round object that floated upwards. Soon she saw a red mist form inside and she knelt before the orb as her mother spoke to her.

G-salem: "yes darling?"

G-yang: "We have weakend the Schnee's, yet failed to kill the family. Winter suffered serious injuries due to an explosion and has been taken away to get fixed up. we belived that a coming snow storm will finish off those not prepared and weaken atlas more." A smile formed on Salems lips.

G-salem: "Excellent my dear, you failed to kill Willow, but have weakened Atlas so you will not be punished." She looked at her daughter and saw a look in her eyes. "You know something else don't you." G-yang winced a bit and spoke up again.

G-yang: "A unknown facility was spotted Far to the north, Our lookouts were not able to get closer due to the weather. But was seen with damage along the whole facility with a large concrete dome in the middle of it. Winter and a few more hordes will go after the facility after she recovers. I will stay here in atlas to finish its distruction.

SCHNEE MANOR

The Schnee family sat around the ruined parlor as servents gathered what supplies they could to survive the coming blizzard. Both willows, Whitley, and Nicholas sat by the fire place to talk about what had happened.

Willow: "Its all gone, We barley have enough food and burnable material to last the blizzard." She buried her face in her hands, whitley sat next to his mother trying to support her.

Willow 2.0: "We'll shelter in the remains of the basement to keep out of the wind. Anyword of assistance?" 

Nicholas: "Don't worry, I know a few secret areas that my grandfater had created. We still have the north western area of the manor left standing. I can find a few of his hidden passages if  its part of my universe." Just then Willow's scroll went off, she looked at the screen and saw it was an unknown number.

Willow: "Willow schnee" She sounded official  even though she was falling apart.

???: "I'm in need of assistance, We have many injured people here and plenty of supplies. we are located at (insert cordinits here) Come soon or people will start to die due to weather." The phone then died as the group went quiet.

Whitley: "Thats the location of a mine that father closed due to  lack of material." If people are gathering there, then its a good place to bring the people of Atlas and mantal." Nicholas then stood up and started to pace around as if trying to figure out what to due before turning around.

Nicholas: "In that case we shall gather all we can and ride or walk the 60 miles to the facility. Its our only chance at this point. From what I see, we have 4 days until the weather gets worse. So we will have to work fast." 

Willow: "I can ask klein and the other servents to gather huntsmen and civilians to gather our resources and get them ready to move." Slowly they formed a plan and got everything ready to move out, unaware of what lies ahead.
