Student of a Sin

Volume 6: Chapter 10

Everyone is seen sitting around a table as they look at numerous sheets of paper with different plans written on them.

Fire: So, I'll let you lot choose. After all, they mostly involve you anyway.

Nora: I like this one.

Nora holds a paper that simply says "ATTACK" on it.

Ren: No Nora, we need to be sneaky about this.

Nora: Awww.

Flae: I like it, but we shouldn't do that.

Jaune: Flae and Ren's right. We can't just attack them and hope we get a ship.

Weiss: Even if we get a ship, we will be shot out the sky before we know it.

Ruby looks at one of the sheets examining the plan as Andrew notices something with the plans.

Andrew: Where is the one where we use the TARDIS to get there?

Fire: You see... I kind of lost it.

Andrew: Wha- how? Why?

Fire: Doesn't matter, she'll come back.

Andrew looks as if he is going to yell at Fire only for Ruby to pull at his shoulder.

Ruby: While we were at the farm, you said that you would explain how once they get what they want, they will leave Salem and her crew.

Yang: And how did they even get here?

Fire: Seems like you know how to ask questions. (Yang gives off a slight smirk) Let's start with the who they are... The Six Knights of Black are a group of individuals that were contenders for the ten commandments. They were supposed to get in, but the leader of the commandments rejected them which caused them to band together in the first place. They ended up becoming a wild card that not even the demon king wanted, so he abandoned them and left them to their own devices. Which ended up being a mistake. They started fights in area's that the demon king didn't want, worsening situations and creating new problems for both sides. The demon king eventually had enough and trapped them and all who followed them and sent them into the sky only to watch Britannia from above.

Blake: So how did they get here?

Fire: Well, I can only make assumptions here. But my guess is that demon king didn't get the trap right and sent them off hurtling into space only to arrive here on Remnant... but even I think there is more going on than we think.

Jaune: What do you mean?

Fire: The moment the demon king was defeated the Six Knights of Black were released, if that's not connected, then it's one hell of a coincidence.

Everyone goes silent for a second

Fire: But how they got here isn't what I'm concerned about right now, all that matters is that they are here and helping Salem to gain something. And that's more than enough for me to get involved... so Ruby, do you want to go with that plan?

Everyone looks at Ruby still holding the paper from before.

Ruby: Yeah.

Fire: Alright then, I'll let you lot go over it ready for tomorrow?

(Time skip: Next day)

Daytime in Argus. At the Atlesian Military Base, various soldiers and guards work on their jobs. Weiss is walking with Caroline and Saphron, who is holding her son Adrian in her arm. They are also escorted by the two Nubuck Guards. Weiss drags a large luggage case behind her.

Cordovin: Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending... (with disdain) Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart.
