Chapter 25 Mountain Glenn, No breaks x Jedi

3rd person pov

General James Ironwood looking out from the landing docks of Beacon academy to the of vale at night, a few airships hovering over the lit-up buildings. Walking up from behind him was Glynda Goodwitch.

"Trouble sleeping?" Glynda asked Ironwood.

"Arm acting up." Ironwood replied gripping his shoulder with the other hand.

"Of course, so logically, you got out of bed, dressed yourself completely and decided to gaze menacingly out into the distance. What's wrong?" Glynda asked as she approaches all the way to Ironwoods side, then looked at him concerned.

"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.

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

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

"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. Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering." Glynda said as the both of them stared into the distance.

Mountain Glenn, 3rd person pov

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 Ruby who has it in her red crosshair scope, but Ruby just 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 Xiao Long is the first to stop pretending.

"Blake, are you awake?" Yang asked Blake

"Yeah." Blake replied."

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

"Maybe he was just curious." Blake replied

"You think?" Yang asked.

"No." Blake said

"Weiss, are you awake?" Yang asked Weiss.

"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 Schee Dust Company." Since he took control, our business has operated in a... moral gray area." Weiss replied

"That's putting it lightly." Blake said

"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 said.

"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.
