A/N nearly a hundred votes *nosebleeds* OMG JSOWHDISHDOAJCNEOCJAOXJSOXI AND ALSO NEARLY 1K Views! I'll never understand why you guys like my sloppy writing.....btw, this chapter was inspired by Volume 3 of RWBY. Again, I do not own RWBY or any of their characters and plots. Just my own plots and characters that I have inserted and created.

Flint couldn't believe what he was hearing. The very idea being proposed before him.... It was outrageous. 


"You're having me do what!?" Flint shouted at Ozpin. Just yesterday he had been discharged from the hospital and now Ozpin was having him do the unthinkable. 

"You heard what I said, Flint." Ozpin said rhetorically. Glynda stood behind him, in the huge office room he had. She rolled her eyes, as if not believing this male standing before them was this stupid.

"I heard what you said, I just can't believe it!" Flint shouted, the anger rising in his voice. 

"It is the only option we have left, Flint."

"So your 'only option' is to nuke the city and kill hundreds of thousands of lives!?" Flint shouted again. Ozpin sensed that the male was about to be pushed over the edge, but he needed to know more. Everything they had worked for was about to be obliterated, and Flint was merely spouting words. Ozpin needed more than just words, he needed action.

"You misheard, Flint. We plan to nuke the area outside the walls, in an attempt to kill the horde of Grimm gathering. That hole you made whilst fighting Chronos was repaired, but a large Grimm has been spotted by our satellites. It's heading for the wall. The clock has been ticking for quite sometime and I fear that soon the ticking will stop, igniting the explosive." Ozpin responded, his eyes trained on Flint's, looking for anything. 

"Then send me to the wall. I'll kill them all." Flint said simply. Glynda let out a brief, loud laugh. 

"Ha! You think that you alone will be able to kill the horde? You think that you alone will be enough to stop the beast that terrifies Ozpin himself?" Glynda knew well what Ozpin was trying to do, but quite frankly she didn't like Flint. She never had. 

"You're doutbting him?" Chronos asked as he stood forward from his place against the wall. 

"I am not merely doubting, I know that he won't be able to!" Glynda shouted, her voice drawing Ozpin's attention. 

"Glynda." Ozpin warned, his eyes darting over to his flustered companion. Glynda merely glanced at him, then shook her head. 

"This is not up to debate, Flint. We WILL be launching that nuke, and as for the radiation that leaks from the nuke, we will have to just deal with that when it comes." Ozpin awaited Flint's response, the very act was dangerous in itself. If Flint decided to act, Ozpin would be dead with in the next hour. However, if he demonstrated what he needed to, Ozpin could finally drop his act. 

"If it's not up to debate, then you'll have to go through me." Flint said, red lightning appearing around him and orbiting him. Ozpin smiled to himself, his decision made. 


"Is that not enough, Ozpin?" Glynda asked her old friend, smiling to herself as her closed eyes pointed at the ground. 

"Yes, it's enough." Ozpin closed his eyes, the familiar story making its way to the tip of his tongue. He opened his eyes, seeing that Flint had calmed down somewhat. 


"Flint, have you ever heard of the old story, 'The Four Maidens'?"
