The Spider Of Remnant(Hiatus)

The Glenn Wall

~RAIN~

Staring out at the view of the city, General Ironwood stood watch as two figures walked up from behind.

"Trouble sleeping?" Glynda asked as he turned to see her and Aaron.

"Arm was acting up." Ironwood joked.

"General, I..." Aaron started before the general stopped him.

"You have nothing to be sorry about anything Aaron, I understand your reason for leaving, there are times even I wanted to escape from Atlas. I guess I should've looked into my choices than act." The general replied.

"You were the best soldier I ever had the pleasure of leading, now, I hope you to be the best Huntsmen I have the pleasure of fighting alongside." Ironwood finished.

"Thank you General." Aaron said before leaving.

"I've trusted him for years. We both have. I just... I can't help but feel like he's keeping us in the dark." Ironwood said to Glynda.

"Don't be ridiculous! You know very well that we are not the ones in the dark." Glynda retorted.

"That makes it worse! I refuse to believe that a man that I've trusted for so long would act so... passively." Ironwood laughed humorously.

"You're a good person, James. You've always done what you think is best for the people, even against strong protest. It's admirable. But it's high time you stopped talking about trust and started showing it. (Drops her hand as they stare into the distance together.) Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering." She finished.

~Team RWBY~

The full moon is shining over the ruined buildings of Mountain Glenn, and a lone Beowolf is searching through the rubble. It looks up briefly at the young girl who has it in her red crosshair scope, but Ruby lowers Crescent Rose and sighs in tiredness at she keeps lookout over the destruction. The rest of her team is lying down on their sleeping mats around the fire with weapons nearby, and Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck is higher up, slumped down against the wall next to the hole in the ceiling/floor. The three members of RWBY have their eyes closed, but Yang is the first to stop pretending.

"Blake, are you awake?" She asked

"Yeah." Was her response.

"Why do you think he asked us about being a Huntress? Like, what was he trying to say?" Yang replied.

"Maybe he was just curious." Blake offered.

"You think?"

"No." Blake replied.

"Weiss, are you awake?" Yang called out.

"Of course I'm awake! You two are talking. And I think he... When I said I wanted to honor my family's name, I meant it. But, it's not what you think. I'm not stupid. I'm fully aware of what my father has done with the Schnee Dust Company. Since he took control, our business has operated in a... moral gray area." Weiss said.

"That's putting it lightly." Blake pointed out.

"Which is why I feel the need to make things right. If I had taken a job in Atlas, it wouldn't have changed anything. My father was not the start of our name, and I refuse to let him be the end of it." Weiss proclaimed with determination.

"All my life, I fought for what I thought was right. I had a partner named Adam. More of a mentor, actually. He always assured me that what we were doing would make the world a better place. But of course, his idea of a perfect future turned out to be not perfect for everyone. I joined the Academy because I knew that Huntsmen and Huntresses were regarded as the most noble warriors in the world. Always fighting for good. But I never really thought past that. When I leave the Academy, what will I - how can I undo so many years of hate?" Blake asked.
