Remnant's Jedi Order (RWBY x Star Wars) (Jedi Male Reader Insert)

Back Into the Open

(A/N): OH SHIT! IT'S CHAPTER 69 BABY! LET'S GOOOOO!

 Camilla: General, since the day you were appointed Headmaster, there have been Atlesians who are skeptical of one man holding two council seats.

Ironwood: Yes, which is exactly why we have checks and balances.

Sleet: We're supposed to, but lately you've been running roughshod over them, making unilateral decisions without us.

Ironwood: Councilman, I never intended-

Sleet: What people intended and what people do aren't always the same, general.

While this was happening, a butler came in and quietly spoke with Jacques. Jacques seemed surprised by whatever he said. This seemed to get their attention.

Sleet: Councilman Schnee?

Jacques: Uh- Yes, I agree with everything, everything that was just said. No, uh, no further questions.

Robyn: I'm not quite done yet. You're afraid of something, General. Aren't you?

Ironwood: I think that's pretty obvious, Miss Hill. I'm trying to prevent Atlas from becoming another Beacon, another Haven.

Robyn: Yet you don't trust your own council to help you? Operating in secret? These are the actions of somebody who's hiding something.

Ironwood: I'm not hiding anything.

Robyn: Then let's put it to the test then.

Robyn got up from her seat and walked towards the general.

Robyn: You're all aware of my semblance. Let's settle it here and now, General Ironwood.

She extended her hand out to him. He did not take it.

Robyn: Here and now.

Before Ironwood could respond, the door flung open.

Weiss: Wait!

They all looked to see Weiss in the doorway.

Weiss: You've got the wrong man on trial... I know who's been framing Ironwood, who rigged the election, and my father does too... he's been working with him.

She placed the scroll on the table and it projected a video of Jacques and Watts speaking.

Camilla: Is that Arthur Watts?

Sleet: That's impossible! Doctor Watts died in the Paladin incident years ago!

Jacques: Wha- What is this?

Ironwood glared at Jacques and stood up.

Ironwood: Play it.

Weiss nodded and played the recording.

On the recording

Jacques: That bastard is costing me more money every day with this embargo. I'd lay off every employee in Mantle if I wasn't trying to get their damn votes for this council seat!

Watts: What if I said you could have your cake... and eat it too?

Jacques: What did you have in mind?

Watts: James Ironwood never recognized my genius. After everything I gave him, he still disgraced me. I simply wish to return the favor.

Jacques: What's in it for me?

Watts: A seat on the council. All I need is your login credentials to the Atlas network. You promise to make Ironwood's life a waking nightmare, and I will guarantee you victory at the polls by giving the voters down in Mantle a little... digital push, if you will.
