The New Rose

Chapter 27 - Moving Forward

It was quiet in the interrogation room, which included Ruby, Mira and their prisoner. They knew who the girl was, the DNA sample made that job very easy. The hard part was getting this girl to talk about her criminal organization and what they were planning. The girl wasn't stupid, she was in a country that couldn't care less about Faunus, so it was obvious that no matter what she would be staying in this prison. The intelligence unit needed information though, and Ruby would rather not ask Blake, so she started speaking.

"So, your name is Ilia Amitola correct? Says here that you have been spotted multiple times when it comes to White Fang sightings. Also says that you are from Menagerie, I've never been there before what's that like?" Ruby asked trying to ease the girl into talking.

"Oh, it's wonderful, all Faunus and no humans. What's not to love?" The girl now known as Ilia said with a smirk as both Ruby and Mira looked unamused.

"Oh God that sounds so gross, imagine all that fur everywhere…" Ruby said while shivering as Mira chuckled and Ilia glared at them.

"Why you-" Ilia started but Mira waved her off.

"Ok that's enough fun, let's get down to business. On this week's episode of "The White Fang is Insane", you and those other faunus planted bombs on a train in an underground passage. It's no doubt in our mind that those bombs were from Roman Torchwick, Ruby had caught him in the past stealing dust and we have other witnesses who can attest to that. You all did succeed in blowing up parts of the tunnel and bringing grimm, but that was fixed no problem. The only thing that blew up was your plan in your face, our question is what was your next plan after that?" Mira asked as she twirled her hair.

"I don't know, I hadn't received orders yet and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you people." Ilia said victoriously and the two detectives rolled their eyes.

"Oh please, the badge we recovered from your uniform shows that you are a valued member of the White Fang, so clearly you have the inside info. Even if you didn't receive orders, you probably have a good idea of what's going on or what to do after that train fiasco. So don't think you can bullshit with us." Ruby said coldly with a glare.

"Like I said, I don't know anything and it wouldn't matter if I did. Nothing you Atleasian bastards do will be enough to stop the White Fang. You all should just cower in fear and watch how we will gain our respect and bring fruition to our cause." Ilia said with a smirk that fell as Mira and Ruby laughed.

"Oh, that is rich, you think that we are actually scared of you and the White Fang? Sweetheart this is the result of you all's efforts to erase humanity!" Mira said in a dramatic voice as she tapped her tablet showing some pictures and showed it to Ilia.

Ilia looked at the tablet and her eyes widened with horror. It showed all of the recent attacks that the White Fang, and all of her brothers and sisters injured or dead bodies in each scene. Some were of the train attack today, she thought that the Atlesian soldier was lying when he said that she was the only survivor on the train. It had to be a joke right? Roman Torchwick survived so why didn't her brethren survive as well? Her thoughts were interrupted by the red-haired detective's irritating voice.

"You get it now, right? I know you guys think that you are some fearsome terror organization, but in reality you are just a group of faunus in over your head. Every time you do something, you guys are the ones who get hurt the most and some don't even come back. That's why four teenage girls and a licensed huntsman were able to take you down without much effort. None of you are skilled enough to make this impact you have going on in your mind, and you're just hurting yourselves. Well, actually one of you is skilled enough…" Ruby trailed off and Ilia scoffed before narrowing her eyes.
