Team FLME Volume 8

Tails Tied

After the opening, Ember is seen with Leia and May with some Burns Security forces. The three of them seem to be coordinating a future attack run as Mason steps out from the Academy's entrance to see them. He sighs and walks over to them. As they are working, May glances back and sees Mason walking towards them. She lightly tabs Ember and Leia as they turn around too to face Mason. They stand at attention as Mason sighs and walks up to meet them face to face.

Ember: Sir.

Mason: Enough of that. I'm going out there for this one.

May: You're calling our mission off?

Mason: You kids need a break. Besides, it's been awhile since I was out in the field. Get rested and relax for the day. Oh..and Theodore did want to speak to you three. Violet too.

Leia: And the real reason comes out.

Mason: It's a quick talk. Nothing more. Besides, if I don't take the Wolves out for a fight, they get rowdy.

Ember sighed and walked back to the Academy with May quickly joining him. Leia watches as some Wolf Tribe Ships take off and Mason too. She then walks back to the Academy's doors and joins her teammates outside of Theodore's office. The three turn to one another and nod a bit and walk inside. In the office is Apatite, Amethyst and Violet all standing together with Theodore at his desk. The three walk over and join Violet on the couch in front of the headmaster's desk.

Ember: Problem?

Theodore: Yes and no.

Leia: (Whispers to Violet) What's happening?

Violet: (Whispering back) No idea. He wouldn't talk till now.

Theodore: (Clears throat) Now then. Ever since you arrived in the capitol four months ago, you had held a theory that somewhere in Exanimum Fields lies an external fortress meant to house our enemies for their invasion of Vacuo. Do you still believe this to be true?

Ember looks over to Leia and May. They nod and Ember looks back at the headmaster.

Ember: Yes, sir.

Theodore: Good. Because your hypothesis has been proven fact.

Theodore places some pictures onto his desk and Ember and Violet grab them. They are images of Fort Frollo in all of its glory along with images of the Fusion Cannons.

Theodore: Grimm Activity in the area had skyrocketed in the last month, so I sent the remnants of Team RBIE out to investigate. Low and behold, they were able to locate the fortress along with the horde upon horde of Grimm there. I currently have those three still on recon, and so far, it has paid off. The three have been able to locate structural weak points.

Theodore points to three circles within the images. Leia nods and looks over them as well.

Leia: A couple of BIC explosives could probably do enough damage to these points. Assuming they don't get reinforced within the next month. And you're telling us this because...?

Apatite: Because the Council has elected that we take action. Today is the last day for military strikes for the next month.

Violet: Pulling assaults on an already dwindling army isn't a good plan. We need to-

Theodore: There isn't an army to attack.

Ember: What?

Theodore: RBIE has reported that all Ombre Army troopers have been pulled out of the Vacuo. Up until the Green Mountains there is little to no military occupation at all. It's just Grimm. Which means, we have time. Time to prepare and to assemble our forces.
