chapter 10: blood and lies

In the white fang hq, Adam was speaking to the current leader of the White Fang.

"Adam. I'm not going to repeat myself, so I want you to listen when I tell you that the White Fang will not attack Haven Academy," Sienna ordered.

"High Leader Khan, I am begging you," Adam said.

"You should beg for forgiveness and nothing else! The assault you led on Beacon was not the great victory you clearly think it was, and you should be more grateful your punishment was not more severe. You are a symbol for many in our organization, but that doesn't make you infallible," Sienna snapped back.

"I was merely trying to follow your example, High Leader," Adam said.

"And what example might that be?" Sienna asked.

"Strength. Strength and unwavering conviction. The humans have seen that strength now," Adam responded

"I was one of the first to suggest violence where violence was necessary. Peace bred complacency and acceptance of our place in the world. I will not allow humanity to push us down without pushing them back. But the destruction of the Huntsman Academies crosses a line! The loss of the CCT has brought global communication to a crawl! And the White Fang is more of a target now than ever before! You have justified humanity's campaign against us, and for what?! Empty promises from a group of humans? Humans we still know nothing about, and come and go as they please! These are not examples of strength, Adam. They are examples of your talents being diminished by shortsightedness!" Sienna said back.

"If you want to know more about the humans, then why not talk to group of them yourself?" Adam said as he then turned towards the entrance to the room, whereupon Hazel opened them, which Razor the tyger claw leader and his goons followed.

"about time you called us," Razor said as he withdrew his mantis blades.

Sienna eyed the newcomer and spoke,"what is this?" with authority.

"Relax, high leader," Razor said with a smirk, "Adam simply thought that a demonstration of our strength in numbers might help sway your opinion. After all, I am the leader of a gang of my own."

Sienna's eyes darkened as she gazed at the assembly before her.

"You should hear what they have to say," Adam said.

"This is grounds for execution!" Sienna delcared. 

"Ma'am, please. Nobody needs to die today," Hazel said before kneeling. "we just ask for a moment of your time."

"The longer you stay here, the less of a chance you have of leaving alive," Sienna said

As she said that Razor was laughing, "you hear that boys?" he said to his men, "she's threatening us."

Sienna sighed and sat back down, which Hazel raised again before continuing to speak.

"You don't like us. You have no reason to like us. But you don't have to like us to get the results you want," he said.

"I'm starting to doubt either of you fully comprehend what it is that I want. I want humanity to fear the Faunus, to know that we demand respect! I do not want to start a war with the humans that we cannot win!" Sienna spoke.

"That's where you're wrong," Adam said, "as to recent another gang has come to Remnant."

"they refer to themselves as Maelstrom," Razor said "they seem to be going around making trouble with your kind, betting having us with you would seem more... logical?"
