Remnant Viking

Chapter 23: Can I make a Call?

It's been a few months since the Fall of Vale and Beacon. Another city dead and this time it wasn't on the Heralds. For the most part. Okay we had a hand in it but it's in the title after all. Heralds of Slaughter? Peace was never an option. It took time to find the total casualties for Atlas to figure out. Ironwood lost his two airships and nearly 200 men and women on the ground. Cascade came out just fine at least. Ironwood is now using it as the new flagship of Atlas. Vanders is happy. I suffered no Viking or Grunt loss as well. Storm 5-5 almost got taken out by a two headed snake, but his wing saved him. That Dragon however was the greatest source of headache for me. It took nearly twenty Lanzers and kept flying! Apparently, Ruby turned it to stone thanks to her silver eyes. This world is stupid at times. Oh, and the civilian casualties? No clue. Not my Problem.

Thinking of team RWBY makes me angry or worried. Ruby disappeared soon after the battle. Weiss was making her way back to Atlas but has gone silent nearly two weeks ago. Yang....Well, she is at Patch or something. Her actions make me angry but at the same time I get it. Her home city is now just rubble and ash. I'm also the one who gave the order to do so. I can understand her rage and anger. Never knew how she lost her arm, but my appearance was the last thing she needed. It still hurts though.... Even Now. The last member Blake, however. No one knew anything. She is either dead or missing. Either she lost her scroll or its destroyed cause I can't get anything by calling/texting. I just hope that the girls will be okay. Also heard that Pyrrha is dead. For some reason, I feel disappointed. Thought she was better than that. Least Jaune didn't get her killed. Wonder if he is still alive?

--------------One Month Later-------------

*Weiss Pov*

Weiss: "Well. Aren't you my gallant hero."

Yang: "Okay so it didn't work out. Least I tried princess!"

Weiss: "I rather you succeeded than try."

Yang scoffed at me and turn her back on me. How helpful. I've stuck in this stupid bandit camp for weeks now!! FOR WEEKS!!!! 

First Vale and Beacon fell. Then Ruby just wanders off somewhere. Blake was nowhere to be found! I trusted her eventually.... Guess I was wrong to do so. Yang went through hell though. She fought and lost her arm to that Adam cretin. Least she has that new bionic arm now. She also watched Pyrrha die in front of her and to top it all off with bow. She beat the shit out of Crimson and probably made him an enemy to OUR TEAM!!! Probably. I sigh in defeat and then someone enters our tent/prison.

Raven: "So have you thought of my offer yet?"

Weiss: "No."

Raven: "Ever stubborn, aren't you? How about you daughter of mine?"

Yang: "Don't call yourself my mother. Only thing you ever taught me was how to be a shit mother. Took that lesson to heart."

Raven: "I told you why already."

Yang: "And I told you to fuck off. But we can't get what we want now can we?"

The mother and daughter started their usual glare contest. How I wish I can get out of here already. Then an Idea popped into my head.

Weiss: "You know what. Fine. Give me a scroll."

Raven raised an eyebrow at me.

Raven: "So you can convince your father to give us dust, money and weapons now?"

Weiss: "I can be persuasive. So, you gonna give me a scroll or not?"

She gave me one and I grinned. I won't call my father. But I do remember His Number. I doubt Yang will mind. One she can make amends and Two.
