Team FLME: Volume 5

Phase Two

The opening ends to Fred, sitting down inside the bridge of the ship. At the helm is Llew and Ing piloting away from the temple. Leaning against the wall, Leia is holding onto her shoulder in pain as Eadwulf comes up with bandages and begins to bandage up her arm. In the back of the bridge, May and Ember are examining each other's wounds embracing one and a while.

Violet enters with Isaac, Bazaar and Amethyst. While the three professionals stand in the center, Violet walks over to Fred and examines a cut on his cheek. Isaac looks on in a stoic sense and turns to Llew.

Isaac: Next temple is in Vacuo. Take us into the capital.

Llew: Understood.

Ember: And like that you think we're ready for round two? We could barely handle round one!

Isaac: I never said we be heading strait for the temple. We're-

Out of no where, Isaac is punched in the face by Fred.

Violet: Whoa! Whoa!

Isaac: Fred, what the-

Fred: You knew didn't you?

Ing: Knew what?

Fred: (To Isaac, avoiding Ing's question) You knew mom and dad where murder by him? You knew all this time, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!

Isaac: ...Yeah, ok! Yeah I knew. I've knew ever since Ozpin told me about Onyx and the rest of them!

Fred: And you kept it from me? From us?

Isaac: Listen, Fred-I'm sorry, I-

Fred: For twelve years, Isaac! You know what I've want for twelve years?!

Isaac: What, Fred? What is it that you wanted?

Fred: To DIE!

Everyone steps back, shocked at Fred's revelation.

Fred: For years, I've wanted to avenge them. You let me live with that guilt for twelve years! Everyday, Isaac, everyday was another day of pain and suffering! You know what the best part about the day was? The first five seconds of everyday when I forget who I am. (Begins to tear up) But when I remember who I am, it's nothing but pain! Because I've had to live with that for years.

Isaac: You don't think I was infuriated?! Of course I was! Heck, I wanted to go out there and deal with it but Ozpin said-

Fred: Enough with the Ozpin crap! You couldn't think for yourself for once!!!

Isaac: Oh, yes! Because you never had a brother from the same parents, did you?! Oh wait, why am I complaining? They always favored you! You were everything they wanted in a son after all! So stoic and brash! Me, I was the runt of the litter! You think I wanted to become a huntsman to follow in mom and dad's footsteps?! NO! I did so I could prove myself! But no, that doesn't matter apparently since you are the center of the universe now!

Fred: I am NOT!

Isaac: They quit acting like it!

Ember: Hey!

Fred and Isaac: SHUT IT EMBER!!!

Isaac: You just assume I wasn't sad by their deaths!

Fred: You kept it from me!

Isaac: Yes, just like the maidens! And everything!

Fred: When were you gonna tell this?! After I graduated, during a "better" time?

Isaac: Well what would be better to you? Now?! Well here's the scoop, "Little Brother" Mom and Dad, are dead! Dead by a psychotic MAD MAN who will now come after you! Yes, that's what every SIX year old wants to hear!
