Y/N's POV

Still unsuspecting of my presence, I utilized my semblance and slowly slipped into the White Fang campsite. Bill followed closely after, I formed up near the crudely built fire and looked around. The nearby surrounding White Fang members immediately almost noticed me... murmurs of surprise and fear were felt all across the camp as the three of us made our way through the camp. The Faunus surrounded all of us, guns drawn. Bill prepared to defend himself with his dinky red katana.

Me: I want to speak to Adam Taurus.

I boast with a grim frown, though behind my mask of fear. Lies a man with a plan, with the next phase of my plan about to give way I need bodies, meat-shields, cannon fodder; for the final show...

The Red-haired bull Faunus alongside his trusted White Fang Lieutenant, stepped out. Their respective weapons either sheathed or down. in a non-hostile position. The bull Faunus stepped forward, his hands nearing his blade hilt.

Adam: If it isn't the famous Ace of Spades.

He gloated with a smirk, I snarled back.

Me: So you're the furry terrorist?

I responded, Adam scoffed back in disdain.

Adam: I'm a revolutionist, the White Fa-

Me: White Fang, Revolution, blah blah blah... Y'know Taurus. For someone whom has somehow garnered support from almost the whole damn Faunus population of Remnant. You have a knack for stating the very obvious.

I slyly stated, smiling like a 4 year old whom had just seen his favourite toy on a commercial.

Adam: Hmph, Humans, arrogant creatures... What makes you think I'd like to work with monsters like you.

Me: Because Adam, being a monster is what BOTH humans and Faunus are good for. Forget about what we both strive for in this 'modern' world, we are equal in the sense that we both used to be 'civilized'.

Adam released his sword and placed his hands onto his hips. He sighed regretfully, cracking his neck a bit to the left.

Adam: Alright Spade, you have my attention.

Me: You see, Adam...

I say, stepping towards him in confidence

Me: We are both rogues, per se. Disillusioned of the perfection of society.

Adam: But rouges who have different views...

Adam began, before I held up my finger. Stopping him from talking.

Me: Short speech right now... Rogues are people whom are radical, who want a change in the world. In a way, we are one in the same.

Adam: What are you saying? That we are one in the sa-

Me: Ah! Ta ta ta ta. Don't interrupt someone trying to make a point.

Adam: Hmm, then proceed.

Me: You are a rebel with a blank map. You have a start, a reason... but regretfully no destination.

Adam: We do have one idiot! The elimination of the human race!

Me: A truly barbaric and aimless mission, you say destruction of the entire human race. Even though you are terribly outgunned, in men, morals, and weapons. You are doing an impossible task of killing humans whom probably don't even care whether their friend is a Faunus or human. You thrive your organization on the principal that killing everything is always the answer.

Adam: It indeed is the only way!

Me: ... and that's where you're wrong my friend. There are other ways, to slowly leech off power to the humans... You could've become a politician, running for office. Creating more laws for Faunus whilst simultaneously taking away laws for humans unseen, put on a mask of kindness and equality while a split group slaughtered humans, deny that your White Fang was a part of it.

I continued as Adam, even though his look was hidden behind his cold mask. Was exceptionally less hostile, and more so a look of frustration.

Adam: I-I never really thought of those as eligible ways.

Me: To be honest I don't blame you... You're more of a muscle person. I'm more of the brains.

Adam, finally admitting he'a gone down the way of the brute. Heck I never fuckin' expected it in the long run. I walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Me: I feel you mate, really I do... Which is why I'm willing to make a deal with you.

Adam looked at me in confusion, I got him...

Me: I have the brains and the plans... You have the grunts and the brawn. What's say we team up?

Adam: What?

I smirked deviously, deciding to throw the odds a bit more in my favour.

Me: We team up, or I rush on over to General Ironwood...

I said, tilting my head to the right a bit.

Me:... And have him raze this entire shithole to the ground I can do this of course without you. But I need manpower... oh! Excuse my *AHEM* Politically Incorrect language, Faunus-power.

Adam's face grimaced, he knew there's no way out of this.

Adam: Fine then, you're a cruel man, Y/N L/N...

Later... Lilith's POV

Lilith: As a fellow human, I urge to you to take up arms against the White Fang! Shoot them down! Burn them! Maim them! Kill them! Do whatever it takes to blow these bastards to hell!

I cried, the whole damn crowd of Human Supremacists applauded and chanted for more. I cocked my hips and confidently smirked. Exactly as Y/N told me to do. Damn, a street fight between Human Supremacists and the White Fang. Never thought I's ever see it in my life.

It's gonna be a bloodbath...
