Distorted Remnant: A Remake of "Distorted Reality"

Chapter 44: Fooling The Schnee

*Y/n POV*

I sat across from Jacques Schnee, in front of a large table. He pulled out a bottle of whiskey, pouring two glasses.

"Forgive me, Duke," He said, "But in my old age, I seem to have forgotten all about your country."

I chuckled at that, and continued my facade.

"Do not worry, friend," I said, "Galileo is a small country off the coast of Mistral. We're not known for much, but we have a few famous hunters and our island is full of diamonds."

"Really?" He seemed interested, I have to keep him on the hook.

"Yes, our mines are overflowing with diamonds," I exaggerated, "It has made our country quite wealthy."

"That's sounds unbelievable."

"Oh trust me, it's true." I assured, "The problem is, we have no hunter academy and a limited military. The few hunters  we do have have very little ability to protect us."

"And that's why you want to make a deal with me?"

"Of course," I said, "You supply us with the necessary dust, and I will pay you any price!"

"Well, that sounds interesting," He said, "But let's discuss details."

"Absolutely."

*MewTwo POV*

I walked down the hall, peaking into doors and looking for the white haired girl. I heard something down the hall from me, and walked towards it.

"Winter, I have to get out of here!" Younger, fiercer voice.

"You can't, it's too dangerous." Older, calmer voice.

"Why not?!"

"Beacon has been destroyed. General Ironwood is in the hospital after being attacked by an unknown terrorist. Grimm activity is on the rise and hunters are at an all time low. You really think you should be going out there right now?"

'I mean, to be fair, Y/n caused those injuries.'

"Yes! My friends are still out there fighting! I need to help them!"

The other person sighed.

"I'm sorry Weiss, but it's not happening. You have to stay here, where it's safe."

I heard the other voice begin to leave the room, so I leaned against the wall, trying to stay inconspicuous.

A woman with white hair walked out of the room and down the hall, facing away from me.

She sighed deeply, "Weiss. She's so headstrong. I'm not going to be able to keep her here much longer."

She walked away, never turning towards me. I waited until she was far enough, and slipped into the room.

I walked in and saw Weiss, brushing her hair.

"Hey Weiss."

She turned around in surprise, almost throwing the brush at me.

"MewTwo!" She exclaimed, jumping up and hugging me, "What're you doing back here?"

I felt awkward, with her just hugging me, so I hugged back loosely.

"I came back to help Y/n and everyone else defeat Salem," I said, "Y/n is here with me. We came to get you."

"Y/n is here? Where?"

"He's distracting your dad," I said, "I don't think we have very long. Pack your stuff, we're getting out of here."

*Y/n POV*

Jacques burst out laughing, slapping his hand against the table, completely drunk.

"...and then I said, 'that's not a dust crystal!'" He joked.

I laughed along with him, taking a sip my whiskey.

I felt my scroll ring in my pocket, and saw that Weiss had texted me.

<This is MewTwo. I got Weiss. Let's go!>

<Alright. See you outside.>

I put my scroll away, and stood up.

"I'm sorry to cut our meeting short, but something has come up," I said, "Let's continue another day?"

"What? But we haven't even made a deal yet?"

"I know, but this is incredibly urgent."

I began to walk out the door, when suddenly, he said something.

"Hold on, I recognize you," He said, "You're that terrorist that Ironwood said he was attacked by! Guards!"

"Son of a..."

I dropped my facade and pulled out Ironwood's pistol, smacking him over the head. I grabbed the bottle of whiskey, and said.

"I'm taking this."

I walked out the door, and saw guards running down the hall towards me.

"Aw shit."

"Stop right there!"

I turned and sprinted down the hall, running towards the exit. I reached the foyer, where MewTwo and Weiss were coming from upstairs.

"Run Motherf*cker, run!"

I ran by Klein, and grabbed my coat out of his hands.

"Thanks Klein!" I yelled, "It's been wonderful!"

We ran out the building, throwing our coats on and taking off into the sky, MewTwo carrying Weiss.

I watched them, seeing Weiss huddle into MewTwo's chest.

"Woohoo!" I shouted, "I can't believe that worked!"

"Are you drunk again!?"

I took a swig out of the bottle.

"Yep!"
