In the weeks following the Fall of Beacon, the White Fang had established itself as the most feared organization in all of Remnant. Adam quickly becomes a popular leader among the White Fang even over the White Fang's leader, Sienna Khan. Inside the headquarters of the White Fang, Adam along with HK-47 meet with Sienna Khan. Sienna had grown weary of Adam in the last few weeks.

Sienna: Adam. I'm not going to repeat myself, so I want you to listen when I tell you that the White Fang will not attack Haven Academy.

Adam: High Leader Khan, I am begging you.

Sienna: You should beg for forgiveness and nothing else! The assault you led on Beacon was not the great victory you clearly think it was, and you should be more grateful your punishment was not more severe. You are a symbol for many in our organization, but that doesn't make you infallible.

HK-47 kept his eyes on Sienna and her guards while keeping his hands on his blaster rifle.

Adam: I was merely trying to follow your example, High Leader.

Sienna: And what example might that be?

Adam: Strength. Strength and unwavering conviction. The humans have seen that strength now.

Sienna: I was one of the first to suggest violence where violence was necessary. Peace bred complacency and acceptance of our place in the world. I will not allow humanity to push us down without pushing them back. But the destruction of the Huntsman Academies crosses a line! The loss of the CCT has brought global communication to a crawl! And the White Fang is more of a target now than ever before! You have justified humanity's campaign against us, and for what?! Empty promises from a group of humans? Humans we still know nothing about, and come and go as they please! These are not examples of strength, Adam. They are examples of your talents being diminished by shortsightedness!

At that point, HK-47 couldn't help but chuckle at Sienna's words.

HK-47: Interjection: Just more incompetent ramblings from a meatbag too stupid to finish the job. How you put up with this insufferable meatbag as leader is beyond me, Master.

Sienna: I suggest that you silence your pet droid, Adam. If your droid keeps talking like that, I'll have to have it broken down and sold for scrap.

HK-47: Mockery: I'd like to see you try, you incompetent meatbag. The likely hood of you turning me to scarp are not in your favor.

Sienna had never trusted HK-47. Adam halted HK-47 to stop.

Sienna: I'm starting to doubt that you fully comprehend what it is that I want. I want humanity to fear the Faunus, to know that we demand respect! I do not want to start a war with the humans that we cannot win!

Adam: We can win a war against the humans. The Faunus are the dominant species of this planet. We're better than humans. We have everything humans have and more. Humans shouldn't just fear the Faunus, they should serve the Faunus.

Sienna: I've had enough of this conversation for tonight. Guards, take them away.

The guards standing next to Sienna remain still.

Sienna: I said, take them away!

Adam: I will admit, Sienna, you were right about my popularity. My followers in Vale already see me as the true High Leader. And many here Mistral in feel the same.

As Adam said this, four armed White Fang members enter the room armed with weapons. It wasn't long before Sienna's guards draw their weapons on her. HK-47 aims his blaster rifle at Sienna.

HK-47: Warning: Don't move, meatbag.

Sienna: If you think I'll just step aside and follow beneath you and your pet droid, you're wrong.

Without warning, Adam impales Sienna with his sword. Shock fills her eyes as Adam spoke in Sienna's ears.

Adam: Thank you, Sienna. You were there when our people needed you, but they need me now. I'm sorry you couldn't see this through to the end.

Sienna makes an attempt to slash at Adam's neck with her claws, but Adam removes his weapon from Sienna. After that, Sienna collapsed on the floor as she writes in pain. Adam then gestures to HK-47. HK-47 walks over to the dying Sienna Khan and aimed his blaster rifle at her head.

HK-47: Statement: I have been looking forward to this, meatbag.

Without hesitation, HK-47 finishes off Sienna Khan with a shot to the head. Adam then turns to the White Fang guards.

Adam: Give our former leader a proper burial. All who were here tonight will claim that Sienna was murdered by a human Huntsman. Sienna Khan will become a martyr for our cause, her final act as High Leader.

The White Fang guards then take Sienna's body corpse out of the room, leaving Adam and HK-47 alone.

HK-47: Statement: Congratulations on your ascension, Master. I can already tell that you will make a far superior leader than that incompetent meatbag.

Adam then thought about Cinder and her master. He knew that they were a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Adam: I believe the time for us to separate from our human collaborators has has come.

HK-47: Statement: I couldn't agree more, Master. Shall we dispose of those insufferable meatbags?

Adam: Not yet, HK. We have much more pressing matters to attend to. But if they make their move, they will know the full wrath of the White Fang.

At that point, the White Fang was ready to establish itself as a movement free of outside interference. Now it was the time for the White Fang to be unleashed upon Remnant.
