The Cold Protocol (Male Sith Reader X Union Academy x Star Wars)

Chapter 120: Battle of Unity Part 2

Henry stood there in the headmaster's office with the weight of what he just did. He killed Ozpin, one of the dictators of Union. The core person responsible for the world's suffering is dead. Yes, he knows that Ozpin would reincarnate into a like minded soul, but he won't be able to rebuild the empire he led. Sure, he'll be an annoyance in the future, but he won't have the power he once had. Henry looked away from Ozpin's body and at the battle unfolding in the city. The Union Air Fleet is being pummeled by the CRS-Separatist Fleet. Various explosions erupt across the city as the battle is waged across it. He holsters his energy revolver as one of the UIB Agents walks up to him.

"What's next, sir?" The UIB Agent asked.

"We prepare to enact a final act." Henry said. "Order all UIB Agents to group up near the UIB Section of the academy."

"Yes, sir." The Agent said before getting onto comms to deliver this order.

Henry then moves towards the elevator with his Agents following him. Elsewhere in the Academy, Sirzechs was walking towards the edge of Union Academy in battle armor with a number of Royal Guards following him. As he reaches the edge of the Academy grounds, his wings appear on his back, and he grabs a special sword he commissioned. He was about to take off but one of the guards stepped closer to him.

"Sir, we've lost contact with Ozpin." The Royal Guard said.

"What?" Sirzechs asks, surprised to hear that.

"We've tried to inform Ozpin that you're joining the battle, but he hasn't responded." The Royal Guard said.

"What about Henry?" Sirzechs asked.

"He hasn't responded either." The Royal Guard said. "But the UIB is amassing its Agents around their section of the Academy."

This confused Sirzechs who began to theorize. Perhaps Henry is moving his forces to better protect sensitive material and information. But Ozpin going quiet? That's not normal. He usually responds immediately, it's standard protocol after all. So, something was up. Henry being quiet isn't unusual he does this sometimes when he's more focused on other more important things.

"Have you sent someone to check on Ozpin?" Sirzechs asked.

"We did, and we saw Henry leaving the elevator and UIB Agents guarding the entrance." The Royal guard said. "The UF Soldier we sent wouldn't be allowed to check on Ozpin."

"Henry's most likely making sure he stays safe." Sirzechs mumbles.

"I wouldn't be too sure, sir." The Royal Guard said.

"What do you mean?" Sirzechs asked.

"One of our Devils went up to check on him through the window, so they flew up there and saw Ozpin lying on the floor unresponsive." The Royal Guard said.

Sirzechs' eyes widened as he knew what this meant. Ozpin was dead. But how? The enemy couldn't have gotten into the Academy so easily during this attack. So, it had to be someone inside of the Academy to begin with. As he begins to think who it could be, it lands on Henry. But he wouldn't do that would he? He's loyal, he's the best they have. He would never betray them. Even if he did, Sirzechs is sure that Union's power would've prevented him from doing any damage.

"Sir?" The Royal Guard asked.

"Send as many Soldiers as we can spare to Henry." Sirzechs ordered.

"May I ask why?" The Royal Guard asked.

"I hate to imagine this, but I think Henry has betrayed Union." Sirzechs said.

Back with Henry, he reaches the UIB Section of the Academy and made his way to his office. When he went inside, he saw Benjamin waiting for him. The UIB's Second in Command walks over to the Director.
