Office Room, Perseus Corporation

Perseus Corporation, the private industry corporation and private military corporation that has contracted from a unitary federal state. It was built by American-Faunus Home Defenders after they successfully defeat rogue states from harming more innocent people, both humans and faunus. They begin to establish the PMC to have their own both private industrial and military to make great use for this nation. Not only did they industrialize the gears and equipment for the military, they also recruited most of the faunus and a few humans to be part of PMC calling it Perseus Corporation, a name after the slayer of the Gorgon Medusa and the rescuer of Andromeda from a sea monster.

In the office, a middle-aged white bearded male lion faunus sits on the chair looking at the view through the window. That man is Liones White and he is a CEO of this PMC. He held a glass of wine as he drank it and watched his company getting richer than ever. He also has private mining sites to gain natural resources for his company. As he continued watching through the window, someone was calling him on the telephone so he picked it up and said.

Liones: Yes?

Perseus secretary: Mr. White, we receive news from the unit in Mistral. They successfully rescue the faunus from SDC mining sites. We also report from other units they save the slaves at the boat across the water headed to Mistral.

Liones: Excellent work! Tell them to continue their work and once they return, give them a leverage salary as reward.

Perseus secretary: Understood, sir.

She ended the call and he returned looking at the view. Then he got in contact with a holographic computer so he answered it and saw UFA Secretary of Defense, Charles Dofflin, an American-African middle aged man wearing eyeglasses looking at him on the screen. He says to him.

Charles (holographic): Hello, Mr. White. I see the report that it was successful?

Liones: Yes. Very successful. You and I have made a great corporation together ever since I established my private military company as well as a private industrial company to produce things for the nation's economy.

Charles (holographic): I never forget that. After all, you are both a veteran and leader of the American-Faunus Home Defender Organization to lead against the CAR rogue nation.

Liones remembered that war when he was a young man leading the organization to fight against the CAR army. He sees many good men and women of both humans and faunus die in the war by the hands of CAR soldiers and he is willing to erase racism from the face of the world. When the civil war was over, he went to establish the PMC organization to become more powerful than Remnantians on the other side of the world. He has signed the contract to the unitary federal state to keep his company active and they will cooperate with them whenever they are needed for missions.

Liones: Yes... I still remember how many good men and women of my lead died fighting against CAR that tried to secede from the federation because we, faunus, now the citizens in this land. Thankfully, we won.

Charles (holographic): Indeed. But remember Liones, you're not the only one fought in the civil war. Besides, I was there too.

Liones: Yeah. I remember you were once a commander leading to the battle against them and then they decided to put you there in the position for promotion.

Charles (holographic): I did to protect the constitution of civil rights, freedom and liberty for all of the people. I did my duty.

Liones: So do we. So anyways, back to the topic, what is it you want to ask me?

Charles (holographic): Right... *Ahem* There is a strange activity in the area called MT. Glenn. It was once owned by Vale, but it was abandoned to ruin by Grimms. I've sent my special team unit there, but no one responded and I fear something will happen to them...

Liones: Which is why you call me for service.

Charles (holographic): Yes. The Joint Chief of Staff has trusted your corporation to deal with this stuff without losing their men to the field so they allowed Perseus Corporation to be handed over their operation. I would like to find out what's happening there and put a stop to it.

Liones: I understand.

Charles (holographic): Good. Just give us a report of what you have found once you finish investigating the missing special team unit.

He nodded.

Liones: Of course.

He turned off the holographic screen and ready his men to prepare to take a special operation mission to Mt. Gleen to investigate the missing special team and find and eliminate the source.

UFMC Florida Military Base

After the mission, Lily Long returned to the base in Florida to do some warm-up. She remove Patriot suit and wore gym clothing and headed to the gym room.

She goes to the treadmill to exercise her legs so she can run faster when she needs to for a mission. Then she went to try the barbell bench as she lifted the barbell upward to increase her muscle to gain much strength. After she finishes lifting the barbell, she's sitting on the bench, wiping away her forehead with a towel. Then there's three people entering the room wearing black t-shirts and green military jean pants.

The first person is a 28-years old man named Mark Edwards. An American man wishes to join the military because he is inspired to fight like Grimms or anyone else he is willing to fight, but the real reason is to get the girls to attract him with his... flexible muscle body. Which is really annoying. Nevertheless, his skills have improved since the training. She met him when they were doing some training together and then they made friends and then he became part of her unit.

The second person is a yellow short blonde wolf faunus named Claire Bohen Beaufort. A female wolf faunus born in the state of Quebec living in a luxury home. She has a French father of a military man and a French Canadian mother of a medical doctor in her family. Ever since she was a young girl, she has seen a civil war between the United Federation and C.A.R. She goes to help the wounded people with the help of her mother and her assistants. When a group of CAR armed thugs have secretly come to her hometown, she goes to defend her people with her life then a group of Patriot specialists come and eliminate the enemy group. She admires Patriots like they were her hero and hopefully one day she can be one of them. When she grew up, she went to medical academy to study, then she joined the military academy after graduating. She receives her semblance called healing allowing to heal the wounds with the touch of her hands. Since Patriot Specialists require the best fighter whether they have semblance or not, she accepted the program. She is now a field medic specialist to give medical aid for fellow patriots. Lily met her in the canteen and they ate together and had girly conversation. She joined her unit to help her comrades in medical needs.

And lastly, a third person is Diego Santiago Hernandez. A Mexican man with the same age as Mark Edwards, he is like other Patriot Specialists. But unlike them, his skills come from hacking, analyzing, technician, and anything else he can specialize in. He is the best learner that has been studying his whole life. Though he's being bullied in his school for being a nerd, he never gives up. When he graduated, his skills were heard from the government, mainly the Patriot Program Academy. They invited him to join the Patriot Program, and he just accepted the offer. Now, he has become a field specialist who has the skills to support the comrades when he needs to be strategic and analyze anything against the enemy. Lily met him when she studied the analysis of finding the weak points of different types of Grimms and she was with Diego. Then, they become friends and offer him to join her unit, which he accepts.

The three of them stepped in the room to see Lily finished using gym equipment to exercise her body.

Mark: Well, well, it seems our leader here is doing some exercise. Got some abs on you?

Lily: Mark, if you are going to flirt with a regiment leader, I suppose you should not do it otherwise you will be sent to the detention center.

Mark: Come on, girl. I was joking.

Claire: I highly doubt that. Anyways, the village is saved and Perseus Corporation will take over it.

Diego: Yes. It's a shame we can't have military service to stay there. It would be well-protected.

Lily: You know my father said the military armed forces must not be involved in other continents.

Diego: Which we were involved in.

Lily: It was ordered by HIGHCOM. You know that, right?

Diego: Yes. Never forget that.

She said, finishing using a face towel on her face.

Lily: So I see you guys are coming for exercise with me?

Mark: Nope. I did that yesterday so I could need a break like today.

Claire: We just come here to see what you are doing. But we know the answer.

Lily chuckles.

Lily: Yeah... Since we succeed in saving the lives of people in the village, no one gets hurt.

Diego: Except the village militias.

Lily: *sigh* Thanks for mentioning that.

Diego: Oh... Sorry for bringing it up.

Claire: Don't blame yourself. We are too late saving the militias, but at least we save the villagers.

Lily: Yeah... Thanks, Claire.

She brings up a smile at her friend.

Claire: It's what I do. Always support the people you care about.

The girls chuckled. Then a familiar face came into the room as she spoke.

Veronica: Hi Lily.

Lily: Big sister!

She goes to hug her in full embrace then she releases her.

Lily: What are you doing here? Should you be, like, I don't know, plans or stuff?

Veronica: The others will handle that. I've come here for two reasons. One, I like to see how my sis doing after successfully completing the mission.

Claire: The villagers are safe. The remaining White Fangs were taken into custody. Perseus will take care of it.

Veronica: Good to hear.

Claire: Thank you, Generale.

Veronica: Second, we have another mission and it's a diplomacy mission.

Mark: Diplomacy mission? Lame...

Diego: It's not lame. Diplomacy is very important to make good relations to foreign nations.

Claire: Speaking of foreign nations, are we going to Vale or other kingdoms for diplomacy? Are we revealing right now?

Veronica: No. But there is one continent that isn't a kingdom nor being recognized as a nation.

She shows a holographic screen using an arm device. The screen shows a small continent below the Mistral continent.

Veronica: What you see is called Menagerie. If you know about Menagerie, it is land for a faunus safe haven.

Diego: According to my research, Menagerie has the largest settlement fit for faunus populations. The people of the kingdoms granted them equal rights for participation in the Remnant Great War, in reward, they gave them an island to live on. But in reality, it was used to push them in confinement. To the Faunus, it was a slap to the face as two-thirds of Menagerie is a desert that is uninhabitable due to dangerous wildlife.

Lily: So much for "equal rights." Those bastards...

She bittered at Human Remnantians to give them false promises of equal rights and use this for pushing them in confinement.

Diego: Faunus is revolted by what is known as the Faunus Rights Revolution and they successfully won, preventing them from confinement in Menagerie.

Claire: But despite that victory, currently Faunus racism and discrimination still occured and most goes there while some join the White Fang.

Veronica: And that is why I asked my father, the president, to have a diplomatic mission to Menagerie, hoping to make them our ally. Also, we can help them to turn a faunus settlement into a nation.

Lily: That seems like a good plan.

Mark: If they are on our side, we could establish the base there. Not only that, we could establish their own self-defense force.

Veronica: That's correct.

Lily: When will we leave?

Veronica: Tomorrow. Right now, we are taking a break today.

Mark: Nice!

Veronica: Anything else you want to add?

Claire: No ma'am.

Veronica: Then we're done here.

...

Veronica and Lily are riding in the car as they enter the White House. They meet up with their parents as they give them a full embrace. Then, they have dinner tonight and they eat together. While they are having dinner, their mother asks them.

Kasey: How's your work, Veronica, Lily?

Lily: It's fine. I just finished the missions more than I can ever count.

Veronica: So do I. Being a general-

Lily: Three stars general.

Veronica: *sigh* Being a three star general, I am working on the preparation of the StarFleet event as you wished, father.

Long: That's great! I hope your preparation will be a successful special event for people to continue to motivate this nation.

Lily: Yeah, big sister! I can't wait for how hard you are trying to prepare.

Veronica: Oh it's nothing...

She scratches the back of her hair.

Veronica: I did for all of us, and the people of this nation. I mean, this land was one of the surviving Great Catastrophes left on Earth. If this land didn't exist, we wouldn't have the happy family we have always wanted.

Her mother held her hand.

Kasey: Aww... Even if we weren't your biological parents, we always love you so much in our hearts.

Long: So do I. You make me proud, daughter. I wish my best friend would see you grow up.

Veronica: Yeah... I wish my parents would see me above heaven. They are really proud of me.

Lily: Okay! Enough talk! Let's eat! I can't wait to go visit Menagerie tomorrow. It has been so long since we isolated ourselves from the world, well, except we have starfleet that reach to space and have settled up there to start colonizing.

Veronica: She's right. I may have seen outside the UFA before, but I really like to go out there without being secrecy.

Long nodded.

Kasey: Alright, let's finish this dinner and we will all go to sleep.

After they finished eating dinner, they went to their rooms to sleep. The Long sisters changed their clothes to pajamas and went to their beds. Lily just said to her stepsister before she could sleep.

Lily: Hey big sis?

Veronica: Hm?

Lily: Do you think we'll change this world for the better? It would be different than before.

Her step sister gave her a smile.

Veronica: I'm sure of it. Hopefully, in this world we will change things for the better. After all...

She turned her head at her sister.

Veronica: It will be the first time visiting a foreign land to make good relations between our race.

Lily happily smiles at her.

Lily: Yeah. Well, good night!

Veronica: Good night, you too.

They went to sleep together peacefully.
