Escape From Remnant: A Tarkov X RWBY Crossover

Chapter 25: All Roads Lead To Ozpin

"James James James..." Ozpin mutters in absolute disappointment to the man standing directly across from him. "What did I tell you about letting your soldiers loose again?" He stated in absolute disappointment, Ironwood's face one of a person who knows there was no way out.

"Yes...I- I understand...this is a mistake that will be corrected immediately." The general lamented, a mistake of this proportions was not to be taken lightly and frankly it would take outside intervention if this day wasn't to end with Atlesian forces being driven out of Vale.

Ozpin sighs looking down at his table and shaking his head lightly. "At best this will be seen as a mere case of police brutality...at worst...it will be a outright violation of Valean sovereignty. You'd be lucky that they don't call for every Atlesian soldier to leave immediately." Well that was oddly specific was what Ironwood thought to himself, someone must've proposed that in the council already.

"Let me guess..."

"Councilman Schwarb Schwarze tried to submit a proposal just like that...fortunately Radzig Dvorce the Yellow and his coalition managed to shoot it down." Now finally some good news today amongst all the doom and gloom of his current predicament.

"I'll have to repay him someday..."

"But don't think that your still scot free from the council!" Ozpin points his finger at Ironwood wagging it to put down his point.

"Schwarb's nationalist movement is gaining traction because of this!" He continued.

"Rest assured old friend, I will make sure this never happens again..."

This was when Ironwood remembered something he wanted to ask his friend. During the clean up he encountered 2 men falsely imprisoned after defending themselves against power hungry soldiers abusing their powers. The helmet cam footage only solidified that these men who were Ozpin's 2 new staff were not normal people.

"Ozpin if I may ask a question?" Ironwood leans forward, his elbows now resting on Ozpin's desk.

"I looked at the camera footage for one of the incidents and your men seemed to be...involved." He finished asking.

"Ah yes, 2 out of the 4 complained to me about the incident." He sensed the thought lingering in his mind, a doubt about the authenticity of the 4 new men.

"What did you think I was lying?" He finished off.

"No no...I mean I had my doubts..."

"I'll be honest, if the roles were reversed I would've found the idea of 4 men, 1 of them having silver eyes, appearing and saying they're of a different world would be hard to believe at first."

"Ozpin I want to ask you for something, I wish to learn from these men. They seem to know what they are doing and the Atlesian military needs outsider experience. This could be a opportunity for us to strengthen the defence of remnant against non Grimm threats." He proposed recalling the lighting fast speed at which the 2 of them uncovered the weakness of the Atlesian standard infantry kit and exploited it. Atlas with its title of being the single kingdom to have a military left in the world was probably already far behind what could've been military tactics had the world not stagnate into a loose network of huntsmen teams and persons all over the world.

"How do you propose that then?" The wrench he threw immediately put a block on Ironwood's plan. "These men aren't propelled by morals or good nature James, they usually have money or survival on their minds." Ozpin explained.

Ironwood scratched his chin thinking of what could convince them. Obviously Ozpin was open to the idea, if he were not the man would be protesting his proposal on front of him right now.

"I guess I could offer a cash bonus to any of them, maybe aim for just 1 or 2 to go on a training mission with Atlesian forces."

"I suppose I could ask, but your handling this. The VPD nearly broke the bank trying to hire these men twice..."

"Very well it is settled, I will draft up the proposal and forward it to you as soon as possible." He reaches his arm out for a hand shake, Ozpin accepts grasping the general's firm grip on his palm. A smile inched across his features.
