Soulless life

Business Opportunity

Phoenix P.O.V

Phoenix: It's a business proposition. As you probably heard what Weiss and I were talking about.

Blake: It was about the titanium deposits, right?

Phoenix: Yes, in fact I want to give the Faunus a chance to make their life better.

Blake: How do you plan on achieving said goal?

Phoenix: Well... I want to develop Menagerie. I want to use the uninhabited area to build multiple businesses.

I see Blake smile in excitement and start listen closely but then I ask her.

Phoenix: So, Blake is there a way to get hold of your dad since he is the leader of the faunus, I feel I'll need to talk to him, so we can go over the details?

Blake then looks and me surprised at what I said the with a questioning look then asks.

Blake: Phoenix, how did you know that? After all I never said that I was the daughter of the Faunus leader.

I smile at her for a moment then answer her question.

Phoenix: Well after coming here and meeting Ironwood I did some research on who I should know, and I stumbled onto your father's info and that's when I thought of my idea. I know Faunus don't feel like they get treated right, so I want to change that. So, can we set up a meeting with your father, of course you can come as well.

Blake: Yes, I'll get hold of him now when will be the best time for the meeting since it will take us a few days to arrive there.

Phoenix: Let's hold it in five days I still need to complete Pyrrha's armour and weapons. Oh! And it won't take a few days to get there, more like few hours after we get to Sanctum.

Blake: Oh! Um... ok then well I'll call my dad how should I pitch it to him.

Phoenix: Say that it will end Atlas.

And with that I leave to continue Pyrrha's weapon.

Pyrrha P.O.V

It has been a few days since Phoenix told me that it would take few days until it was finished. Right now, I'm heading towards his forge now as he said he finished the upgrades he made to it. When I arrive, I see Ruby standing next to Phoenix looking very excited, I then see her holding a slightly larger Crescent Rose. When Ruby sees me, she rushes over to me and gives me a big hug which I return as she speaks quickly.

Ruby: Hi Pyrrha you are really going to like the upgrades we made to your everything then once you're done looking at it you should go with Phoenix to Menagerie... oh, oops sorry Phoenix.

I then look at phoenix shaking his head and smiles then says.

Phoenix: it's fine Ruby she would find out sooner or later but if she wants to she can come with us. It would also be an appropriate time to show then the technology I'll be bringing their island. So, shall we get started?

Pyrrha: To be honest, Ruby I'd love to know what was upgraded on Crescent Rose.

Ruby: Oh, well first we made it out of titanium and made its reach longer. Secondly, I wanted to be able to hit targets at farther distances, so we added more power to the gun, we also gave it a better scope, so I can see things better now. With just those two upgrade I can now hit things about two kilometres away from me. That's all the upgrades I wanted done to Crescent Rose although I know Phoenix wanted to do more to it, I just felt like this is all I needed. Oh!... but he did give it the ability to camouflage me and the gun when in cover.

I smile at her excitement as it always makes me happy to see. I then walk over to Phoenix and wait to see what he did for Miló and Akoúo̱. When Phoenix hands me my weapons I can already feel that the weight difference was amazing, but I wonder what he has done to improve on it.

Phoenix: I'm not going to go into the obvious since you know I upgraded its weight. Milo's melee forms are longer and if needed can turn into a double ended javelin, gun mode deals more damage, larger clip and shoots twice as fast but with reduced recoil. Next is your shield, I had to think outside the box with this upgrade. I made two upgrades to it other than making it out of Sanctum, first I give it a sharper edge so that when thrown it will go more than just stun your opponent. The second of the two upgrades are giving Akoúo to expand in size by giving it another five centimetres of radius.

As I stare in amazement of the upgrades he has thought of that perfectly fit my needs he hands me my breastplate then explains to me what he has done to it.

Phoenix: lastly is your breastplate, I didn't do much to it except that it can now transform into a battle outfit that will cover most of your body. To activate it all you need to do is wear it over or under your clothes and it will transform when you think of it transforming.

I bring the breastplate to my chest, when it touches my chest transforms into my original over-bust corset and wraps itself around me. I was surprised at first but so focused on getting it to transform, then all the sudden I could feel it activate and change around me. I look down at it and see it start to cover my legs then my arms before stopping. I then look at Phoenix and a extremely excited Ruby and smile at them, I then see Loyalty walk over with a mirror and when I see myself in the mirror what I saw was amazing.

Phoenix: You look fantastic, it turned out better than I imaged. To be honest I didn't think you would look this beautiful, what do you think Ruby?

I then look at the two of them as Ruby starts to speak.

Ruby: I think you look gorgeous Pyrrha, I knew you would look stunning in this, but you look way to good in it.

I smile at her before looking towards Phoenix again and asking something that was on my mind.

Pyrrha: Why would you use your precious materials to make something this amazing just for me, when haven't known each other very long but you made me this, so why?

I see his emotional change at my question which made me slightly worried that I asked something inappropriate, but before I go to apologize he speaks up.

Phoenix: The reason I made this for you hmm... Well firstly I have never made a suit for someone other than myself, so this was a first for me. Secondly you are the most combat ready out of them, so I wanted you to have something to help you when in combat. And lastly the most important reason is that your one of my first friends, you guys are the first people to except a monster like me, so this is a thank you gift from me to you. Oh, there is one more thing I need to give you.

He then hands me my circlet headpiece to which I put on my head. When I do I can hear him talk to me without his lips moving.

Phoenix: The headpiece is a communication device that allows us to talk without others hearing it. This is just in case we encounter any unexpected problems. You happy with the upgrades?

Pyrrha: I'm extremely grateful for all that you have done for us Phoenix, I'm very pleased with what you made for me. Saying all that I'm sorry for all the trouble you went through making these.

Phoenix: you don't need to say sorry for this I was glad to do this for you guys. But if you still feel bad then come with me tomorrow to Menagerie.

We were then interrupted by Ruby, just before I was about to answer.

Ruby: Guys I'm not able to hear what you're saying so please talk normally.

Phoenix: Oh! Yer, sorry about that Ruby don't worry I'll make you all one soon. Anyway, Pyrrha what do you say to coming with me tomorrow?

Pyrrha: I'd be glad to come with you; how long will we be gone for?

Phoenix: We will be gone for about four days so pack enough clothes, also I'll let Professor Ozpin know that you're coming with us.

Pyrrha: who is coming with us?

Phoenix: Hmm? Oh, well us of course, also Blake since she will be showing me the way and lastly Glynda will be coming. I thought she could do with a change of scenery, so I invited her. You will need to be ready and at the hanger by eight tomorrow morning. Now I'll walk you two out as I still have things to prepare.

When Phoenix walked us out I started to wonder what his relationship is with Ms Goodwitch, but I'll just have to wait as see for myself tomorrow.
