After the battle of Vale, some of city were destroyed, the debris are all over the streets. But they will rebuild it soon enough. The GDI forces helping Vale citizens to clean up the mess of the city. They patrolling around the city to make sure any Grimms left behind will be eliminated. Atlas was humiliated when they tried to defend Vale to show them how protection they are, only to see their own robots turn against them and Nod invaders are taking out most of infantries and aircraft so swiftly. Atlas has no chance against the brotherhood compare to the GDI. Speaking of GDI, they set up the medical tents to attended any civilians who are injured during the battle. The bulldogs, APCs, conductors, and spartan tanks are patrolling the street, in case there's more incoming Nod forces or Grimms appeared in the city. The peacekeepers, adding with riflemen squads, zone troopers, zone lancers, zone enforcers, and zone raiders are patrolling the area to make sure no one will take someone's life after the battle, they also guarding the medical tents to make sure the injuries will be protected. The GDI kodiak ships now control the sky better than Atlas because of what happened to one of the atlesian airships being hijacked by Nods. Mia takes charge of 8th zone raiders and they will patrol the area to make sure they aren't threats around. Peter and Mia are at a ruined building to be used as a garrison to see anything in the distance with a sniper scope. The doctors and nurses, which are both humans and faunus, are doing they can to save the others. The other civilians who aren't injured must stay in a refugee camps for their safety. They give them food and drinks to treat them well.

In the meantime, the GDI soldiers able to arrest some surrendering Nod soldiers who are left behind and they were taken to prison at GDI colonize prison. The vale councilors were, unfortunately, died during the battle by either Grimms or Nod invaders, they replace them with the new councilors where they have plans to make a good relation between Vale and GDI. Things in Vale are doing fine as they are able to survive the battle from the invaders such as the brotherhood of nods. As for Roman and Neo, they will support the GDI soldiers to hunt down remaining enemy forces within the city.

...

At GDI mountain Glenn base, they manage to prevent any of them to enter the kingdom however they just miss the other horde that is able to sneak past them for a distraction. 3 kodiak ships are surrounding on the top of the mountain to make sure a Grimm dragon inside a mountain won't awake. More troops and vehicles came to the place as they set up more defenses within the perimeter so they won't fail it again.

...

At Beacon Academy, the GDI soldiers are cleaning up the mess outside the school. They carrying all different kinds of bodies and put them into the body bags. For GDI soldiers who are fell in battle will take them back to GDI colonize nation to give them a better burial and tell their families that they serve bravery for the remnant's sake. The soldiers are patrolling the area to check to see any white fangs or Nod soldiers that are left behind will be arrested for their crimes. They sent drop pods to deploy wolverines to support the infantries. Seeing them coming in the academy, the students are awe to see fascinating mech walkers and weapons that can defeat everything using firepowers instead of using dust.

At a medical tent, Blake is laying on a bed as the machine making a beeping sound for her stable. The doctors do anything they can to keep her alive from dying.

At outside, Ruby and her teammates, including Penny are waiting for the doctor to report them about their friend. A doctor came out a tent as he tell them a good news.

GDI doctor: Everyone, I have good news.

Ruby: Really? Then tell us!

GDI doctor: You friend will be recovered soon. She will be fine in no time.

They are relief that Blake is okay. Then, Jaune and Robert came to see them as they walk towards them and they said.

Jaune: What happened?

Yang: Jaune, Blake got stabbed by a red bull hair faunus guy.

Robert: Sounds like Adam is here. Probably he and his followers came to invade this school while we have trouble time with our enemy.

Penny: At least, it's over right?

Jaune: Yes. But it was only a beginning. I fear we're going to war against our enemy. But we need to know where did they come from.

Robert: For what they sure, they have some kind of warp gate that can go to another world like this one.

Weiss: That's a kind of theory.

Penny: So now what?

Jaune: Now, I have got important things to do by going to menagerie to meet the chieftain in person. I'll leave Lt. Robert here to make sure everyone here is okay.

Ruby: We won't let you down Ja– I mean, sir!

Jaune: I know you will, Ruby. So long and tell Pyrrha that I'm leaving Vale today.

He said as he went to his air transport to the menagerie. Before he left, they see Gen. Ironwood along with two atlesian soldiers walking towards them. Then, he said to Penny which he's not happy about it for a reason.

Ironwood: Penny, why did you jump out the dropship before we take off!

Penny: General, I'm not just going to leave my friends to fight dangerous enemies that we never face before. That's why I'm jumping out of the aircraft for a good reason.

Ironwood: A reason is that you disobey orders from a general of Atlas. You know your father would be afraid if something bad happens to you. I'm taking you back to Atlas.

Penny: What! No!

Ironwood: Penny, don't make me feel hard on y-

He was about to grab her arm when Ruby and her teammates, especially Jaune and Robert, go to her and protect her from him. Ironwood was shocked to see them protecting her from him. Jaune said to him.

Jaune: Gen. Ironwood, you should know that you're threatening her. She did a good job fighting for her friends rather than leaving them to die.

Ironwood: But she dis-

Jaune: Nonetheless, she wants her own free will where no one just keeping an eye on her like babysitting her. My agent reports that you sent your spies to keep on her if she's gone rogue.

Weiss: What?

Yang: Penny will be gone rogue? What's that suppose to mean?

Ruby feels like something that Atlas would regret if Ironwood is going to war on GDI. She fear that Penny is an android and not a human. Her friend would have a memory erase. She doesn't want to lose her friend that doesn't have experience with other stuff than being a weapon. Jaune continue said to him.

Jaune: Did I tell you that Penny isn't a human. Well, I'll tell you. She's an android.

Yang and Weiss are shocked that Penny isn't a human being. Penny is also shocked that he knows about her secrets. Ironwood just shocked by how he knows about Penny secrets so he said to him.

Ironwood: How–

Jaune: When we come to this world, we need to know about the details about this unknown planet. You already know I'm the only human that comes from this world that once my home. I also told Sara to find out about your Atlas little secrets.

Ironwood: Your AI hacked into the system?!

Jaune: I figure it out that you're planning to create more robots just so your human soldiers will not be harm on the battlefield without sacrifice in honor. I also learn that you create Penny is because she can be useful against the enemy but you fear she will go rogue so you decided to sent your soldiers and spies to keep an eye on her.

Robert: Which you are messed up for what you did.

Ironwood: How dare you hacking into the system of Atlas! That is an act of crime!

Jaune: Oh yeah? Tell me about this, why you create her in the first place? Well, I'll tell you why it's because you wanted her to be your weapon just so you can impress your reputation.

Ironwood: Why you-

Jaune: Don't be act like that, general. You want to keep her as a prototype just so she will remain as weaponize android. Not only you keeping eye on her, but also you don't want to have her own free will. Penny may be a robot, but deep inside, she's just like everyone else. A human being...

To her response, Penny was surprised by Jaune to inspire his brave words towards Ironwood. She feels like he was right. She wanted to have her own free will so she can have her new friends and explore the world. Ironwood clenched his teeth as he was so angry because he knows about the secret project and hacking the system which is impossible for anyone to hack the terminal. He said to him.

Ironwood: Now listen here, you should be reminded that you make a fake transcript so you can be part of huntsmen. Maybe you should have left the academy in the first place!

After he said to Jaune, a few of swords appeared out of nowhere transform into guns as they pointing at him. Two atlesian soldiers are aiming the rifles at the swords. Ironwood doesn't know what's going on until he saw Penny is the one who did summon her swords. She stepped forward as she said.

Penny: Ironwood, you shouldn't have say that to Ruby's friend.

Ironwood: What are you doing, Penny?! Do you know who I am!

Penny: I do. But he was right. I want my free will. I want to be with my friends like Ruby. She knows I'm not a real girl but she saw me as a real human and she promises to keep a secret for me.

Yang: Sis, you knew she's not a human girl?

Ruby: Uhhh... Yeah?

Penny: You sent your soldiers to keep an eye for me so I can't do anything freely. But now, I think it's time to do what I must have done in a long time ago.

Ironwood: No. You don't mean...

Penny looks at Jaune as she was going to say to him.

Penny: Um sir, can I join you? Can I come to your colonize nation?

Ironwood: Penny, no!

Jaune was really happy that she chose to be free rather than being a weapon for a fascist kingdom. So he replied.

Jaune: You will welcome to join us. We'll take you to my nation and have your new home.

Penny: Also, I want my chip from my head to be removed.

Jaune: Very well then...

He then looks back at Ironwood with his serious expression as he said.

Jaune: You should let her free, general. Because you won't escape from her.

Ruby came along as she draws out her scythe and she said to him.

Ruby: Yeah! Let her go right now!

Ironwood was pissed to see that coming. He's about to attack them but with swords surrounds him, he won't stand a chance. So he decided to accept it. Jaune was smirk then he asked Penny to stand down. She nodded as she put her swords away. Afterward, Ironwood and his two soldiers are walking away without saying a word. Once it's done, he looks at her and he said.

Jaune: You did a great job to stand up like a brave girl you are.

Penny: T-Thank you, sir.

Jaune: Please, call me Jaune from now on. My men will take you to my nation once we're done here. For now, you will be with your friends. Is that understood?

Penny: Of course.

Jaune: Good. Have a nice day.

He said before he went somewhere else. After that, Penny turns around to others as Yang and Weiss still surprised to see a friend is an android, but unlike AK-200s she is capable of having an aura and she has a soul to be a human just like the others. Then, Yang said to her.

Yang: So... You're a robot.

Penny: That's right.

Yang: I guess that explains how weird acting you are before. Well, it doesn't matter now since you're a friend of my sister then I'm okay with it.

Weiss: I should agree with her.

Robert: No matter you're an android or not. The GDI will accept you as human being.

Ruby rushed to her as she hugged her with happiness.

Penny: T-Thank you, everyone. This means to me so much.

Ruby: That's what friends to, Penny.

Robert: And don't worry about your secrets. We just consider this information as classified so no one will know who you really are.

Penny nodded as she agree to his statement. She knew that if everyone except GDI knows about her secret then they might have an opportunity to hack into her system and turn against the people she loves so much. Afterward, Ruby, Penny, Robert, Yang, and Weiss will remain at the medical tent to wait for their friend's recovery.

...

Jaune is riding on V-35 ox through the sky as he going to the desert region of menagerie to land there. Once he's arrived in the base, his transport landing on combat support airfield then he went out of his transport as he goes to the building where his friend is waiting for him. When he's in the building, the GDI soldiers and personnel from both faunus and humans to give him a salute for his presence. Jaune salutes them back then they went back to work. He walked towards his best friend, Mark Havelyn as he's too busying looking at a map on hologram computer until he turns around to see his best friend and a leader here in his place. He smiled as he said to him.

Mark: Jaune! It's nice to see you again.

They both shake hands together.

Mark: How's the battle?

Jaune: Shit as always, Mark. The neo brotherhood giving us a hard time to finish it. Luckily, I call Sara about Nod's appearance in the colosseum before that happens.

Mark: I heard you. I just saw the news and those bastards did send everything they got to destroy a kingdom. Not to mention that white fangs are involved at beacon academy.

Jaune: Yeah. I just learn Adam is leading his followers to attack the school which I wanted to destroy it but I'm no better than white fangs or the neo brotherhood.

Mark: Indeed. So anyway, your transport is ready for you.

Jaune: Thanks.

He turns around and walks towards the door just before he has something to tell him so he said.

Jaune: By the way, I have something on my mind.

Mark: And that is?

Jaune: Since I establish a military when we're in the remnant, I certainly need a general and we don't have a  general of GDI.

Mark: So who would might be?

Jaune: It's obviously... You.

Mark: What?!

He surprised that he appoints him as a first general of the GDI colonization nation. Then, he replied.

Mark: But sir! I'm-

Jaune: You lead your army with bravery and honor during the third Tiberium war against both brotherhood of Nod and the Scrin. You fought for the GDI and the humanity. So that's why I'm appointed you as a first general of GDI colonize nation. Will you accept it?

Mark had lost his words that his best friend is making him a general. He clear his throat and he replied.

Mark: Yes sir. I accept to be a rank of general. I won't disappoint you.

Jaune: I hope you won't fail us. Anyway, see you later.

He said before he leaves the room and Mark is happy to be a general of GDI colonize nation. He went back to work to make sure his army is ready for a fight.

Jaune is getting in his transport as APC enters the tunnel and goes to the menagerie. Once he's outside of the other side of the tunnel, he can see the village are having okay with GDI. They have seen them as savior to defend the people they love so much. As he reach outside of the big house, he gets out of the vehicle and then he goes to the door and he proceeds it by knocking the door. The door opens to see a female cat faunus as she was surprised to see him here. She said to him.

Kali: Oh! It's was nice to meet you here

Jaune: It is. So you must be Blake's mother, correct?

Kali: Oh yes. I'm Kali Belladonna. And like I said, it's was nice to meet you.

They both shake their hands.

Jaune: So... Is your husband here?

Kali: He's here. Please, come in.

She said as she let him enter the place. Jaune goes into the place as Kari closes the door behind him. He went to sit down on the pillow and Kari said to him.

Kali: I'll get a tea for you.

Jaune: Much obliged.

She went to the kitchen to get the tea for her guest. While he was waiting for a tea, he notices Ghira came to the room when he was surprised to see him here to his place. He said to him.

Ghira: Ah! Jaune Arc, leader of GDI colonize the nation. It was pleasure to meet you.

Jaune: The pleasure is mine, chieftain.

Ghira: Please, call me Ghira.

He takes a sit on the pillow and then he said.

Ghira: What brings you here in menagerie? I've already been told by your ambassador.

Jaune: Well, I come to inform you and your wife that your homeland is in danger.

Ghira: Danger? What do you mean?

Before he say anything, Kari came back holding a big plate with teapot and a three tea cups on it. She place it on the table as she joins them. She said to them as she pours a teapot to her teacup.

Kali: So what did you two discuss about?

Ghira: Well dear, our friend here saying menagerie is in danger.

Kali: What?

She was a bit of shocked of what her husband said. But she didn't get a clue of that meaning. Jaune explains to them.

Jaune: If you two didn't notice that the kingdom of Vale is under attack by our enemy, Nod separatists.

Ghira and Kali: What?!

Kali: You're saying, they arrive in this world just like you and your men?!

Jaune: Yes. But we don't know how they came to this world. But I have a theory that they have a portal that can go to other worlds. Not to mention, they attacking the CCT tower.

Kali: They did what?!

Ghira: But why would they wanna to destroy that tower? It's the only way to communicate with other kingdoms.

Jaune: Is that so? Maybe they're planning to cut off the communication so there might be chaos throughout the world. But we're able to stop them before that happen.

They both relieved his army are able to stop them. But Jaune have to say more to them.

Jaune: But I have to tell you something– It's about your daughter, Blake.

Ghira just spit on the tea as he heard about his daughter. Kali's eyes are wide open as she was worried of something to happen to her so she asked him.

Kali: What happen to our daughter?! Tell me!

Jaune: Well... How can I explain this. She was being stabbed by none other than Adam himself.

Ghira: What!

He shouted in anger about Adam who is arrogant but a strong second command of the white fang. Jaune said.

Jaune: Don't worry about your daughter. She will be recovered soon.

Kali: Oh oum... I hope my baby girl is alright.

Ghira: Mr. Arc-

Jaune: Please, call me Jaune.

Ghira: *ahem* Mr. Jaune, is that true that the white fang is led by Adam and attack on Vale?

Jaune: They only appeared in the beacon academy just before Nod forces came and attack everyone.

Ghira: I see... So what are you going to do now?

Jaune: Now... I say I'm going to war against our enemy, the brotherhood. They're a much threat than the grimms, white fangs, bandits, and even Atlas that will go to war against us soon.

Kali: I hope it won't happen soon enough. Um, can we see our baby girl at beacon academy?

Jaune: Of course.

After that, the three of them went out of the place and enters the APC as it went back to the tunnel. Then, they ride on V-35 ox at the combat support airfield as they going back to the kingdom of Vale.

...

Joseph POV

I just inform that the village is under attack by bandits which I hate the most so much. They always break the laws, raided on each poor villages, and killing the innocent lives. They will pay for their crimes. So I decided to sent my forces to attack on bandit camps. I'm on the V-35 ox with my men, of course. The ground troops along with vehicles will knock their door down and attack them and if they consider to surrender then we'll take them to custody. We reach to the location as hammerheads and hurricanes surrounding the bandit camp so they won't escape that easily.

At the ground, a mammoth tank open fires at the gate and it was destroyed so my ground forces are coming inside the camp filled with bandits trying to be brave but they seeing my men are ready to fight so badly they just piss their pants on. My transport landing at outside of the camp and I join them inside the camp so I raise my blaster cannon at them and I shouted.

Joseph: In the name of GDI, you are all under arrest for raiding the village and killing the villagers. If you really want to live then put your hands up!

???: Don't listen them!

I just heard a voice of the woman when she came out of the tent. For what I know, she must be the leader of this clan. My men and I keep pointing at them as I said to their leader.

Joseph: You must be the leader.

Raven: Yes. So what brings you here?

Joseph: I come here for you and your bandits to take you all into custody for your crimes.

Raven: Our crimes?

Joseph: By raiding the village and killing the innocents.

Raven: That's because the weak dies and the strong lives.

Joseph: I don't give a bullshit about that. We are the protectors of the innocent and you will pay for their lives you took.

Raven: I have enough about this. Attack!

The bandits are response by firing their guns at us but we wearing zone armors so they can't penetrate through it. They make a big mistake. So I ordered hurricanes and hammerheads to fire at them. They're response by firing the miniguns at them as some of them were mow down into pieces. The hammerheads fires the rockets at the establishments as it went explodes into the pieces, along with some bandits that are unlucky to dodge it very quickly. Once it's done, we went pointing our guns at her and the remains of bandits as I said.

Joseph: Like I said, surrender now.

Raven was shocked of what she was witness of the might of GDI. With her hesitation, she decided to run away by transforming into a bird, leaving her tribe behind. Unfortunately, her wing got shot by a sniper as her bird form crashed into the ground and transform back into a human. She was about to use her spring maiden power to attack them but she was too hesitation to see them killing her fellow bandits and she was shot. The riflemen squads and zone enforcers surround her and then, they take her into the custody. As for her bandits, I ordered my men to take them into the custody as well. I also ordered a mammoth tank to destroy the establishment so there won't be bandits anymore. Once it was done, I went back to V-35 ox and flew back to my base. While I'm heading to my base, one of my men said to me.

GDI Rifleman: Did you see that, sir? That she can transform into a raven?

Joseph: Yeah. I just saw it. Besides, this is a strange world, after all. Don't we think?

GDI Rifleman: Yes sir.

He said before he went to talk to his friends. Well, my work here is done. The villages within the Mistral are no longer be afraid from the bandits as we remove them from this world for good. As for bandit leader, she will be happy in her cell for a long time.

...

Blake slowly open her eyes to see a doctor is checking her blood sample on the bottle when he notice her awake so he said to her.

GDI doctor: Ah! You're awake. You are lucky to be alive, Ms. Belladonna.

He place her blood sample on the table as he said to her.

GDI doctor: How are you feeling?

Blake: I'm fine.

GDI doctor: Good. I'll get your friends at outside. Wait here.

He went out of the tent to tell her friends about a good news. Blake look around for a bit until her friends came through with their happy smiles. Ruby said to her first.

Ruby: Blake, Blake, Blake! Are you alright?

Blake: I-

Yang: Did he get to you? I swear, I will have my hands on him!

Weiss: Yang, you need to calm down for a bit.

Blake: Guys, I'm fine. I just need a lay down for a while.

Weiss: That's good.

Blake: Wait. Where's Penny?

Ruby: Oh! She told us she will be going to GDI colonize nation for upgrades.

Blake: Upgrades? What do you mean?

Yang: There's something we want to tell you about Penny. But before that, there's someone wanna to see you.

She said. Just then, two faunus came to inside the medical tent that makes Blake surprised to see them for some time. Her mother went to her daughter as she place her hand and she said.

Kali: Oh baby girl! You're alright.

Blake: Mom. Dad. You're here?

Ghira: Yes. Jaune told me of what happen to you here, but I'm so glad you are okay.

Blake: Dad, I'm fine. I'm not hurt.

Ghira: Of course, you do...

Her parents hugging her but carefully avoid hurting her on her injury. A doctor came in as he said to them.

GDI doctor: Excuse me, everyone?

Ghira: Yes?

GDI doctor: I'm going to tell you that she will be getting out of the bed once I finish checking on her. Is it alright for you guys to go outside?

Ghira: Oh, of course. Everyone, I think it's time for us to give her time to recovery for a moment.

Ruby: Aww... Really?

Weiss: It's doctor orders, Ruby. You must listen.

She said. Ruby nodded and she said to Blake.

Ruby: We'll come back later.

Blake nodded with her smile at her for her reply. Her mother said to her.

Kali: I hope you will be okay. I just don't want to see you hurt.

Blake: Mom, I'm grown up and a huntress. I'll be fine now.

Kali: Okay. Goodbye.

She said as she kiss on her forehead. They went out of the medical tent to let her be recover on her bed and a doctor will check on her.

...

Ironwood just came back from Vale as he walking in the halls with her specialist, Winter, as they going to the laboratory. He was mad because Vale is accepting GDI to be a better security in case, the brotherhood is coming to attack again and Penny is taking side to GDI led by Jaune Arc. He also remembers to the new Vale councilors when he visit there for a discussion.

* Flashback*

Ironwood: Everyone, I'm assure you that military of Atlas will be stronger in each days to defend this kingdom. I'm sure-

Vale councilor 1: Enough with your excuses, Gen. Ironwood! You failed to prevent the incident by making sure one of your ship isn't hijacking by these new terrorist called the brotherhood of Nod!

Vale councilor 2: Not only that, your androids just turn against us! We have few witnesses that they're join fighting with the brotherhood.

Ironwood: But I-

Vale councilor 3: Enough! We decided that your military is no longer guarantee to the safety of our kingdom. We also heard our people to let GDI be our security from now on. They did excellent work to track down the criminals and our terrorist such as the white fang and they also fight for the people.

Ironwood: B-But councilors, have you forgotten that we're the ones have give you a dust resources.

Vale councilor 2: We have found another way to delivery the dust resources and that would be Future Dust Industry from GDI colonize nation. We spoke to him that he allows for dust trade between a nation and our kingdom.

Vale councilor 1: Is there anything more you would like to say?

Ironwood: No sir...

Vale councilor: Then, that will be all...

* Flashback end*

He couldn't believe of what just happen in that day. Things change for him as he was so frustrated about this situation. As they're walking, Winter goes to him and she said.

Winter: Sir, are you alright?

Ironwood: I– * sigh* I'm alright. Just needed to calm my nerves.

Winter: Okay sir.

She said. They reach the door as it opens to enter a laboratory they see scientists are doing some projects on weapons who are ordered by the councilors to make a more firepowers. Ironwood and Winter walked towards a head scientist named Dr. William
Polendina, he was working on a new weapon when he notice someone is coming for him so he turn around to see them here. He said to them.

Polendina: Gen. Ironwood and Lt. Schnee, how may I help you?

Ironwood: I'm come here for your work, Dr. Polendina. I'm sure you have finish it yet?

Polendina: Of course.

He grabbed a new weapon and show it to him as he said.

Polendina: I introduce you to a new weapon called repeater rifle. This weapon can shoot multiple times than a plasma rifle. Any older grimms can be penetrate through the armors.

Winter: Hmm... Interested.

Ironwood: Does it kills Nod robots?

Polendina: Well, I, it depends whether it can penetrate it or not. We'll have to give it away to atlesian sold-

Ironwood: Give it away to AK-200s.

He said. Dr. Polendina was a bit of shocked of what he's saying. So he replied.

Polendina: What?

Ironwood: The AK-200s are much capable than regular soldiers. They will replace the rifles to this weapon of yours. We need to make sure no every human soldiers will died on the battlefield if we're up against grimms, white fangs, the brotherhood of nod, or even GDI if the councilors decided to going to war against them.

He was shocked even more as he was talking insane. He won't believe that Atlas will going to war against GDI if he provoke them. Winter is also shocked that there could be hundreds or thousands casualties in remnant, even for human soldiers that lost their lives in this pointless war. She question herself to see her general is getting grudge on GDI, just for jealously. Ironwood isn't kidding that he will show the world the kingdom of Atlas will see them as a true protectors of remnant and not to the GDI. Then, he said.

Ironwood: Is that understood, Dr. Polendina?

Polendina: Of course.

Ironwood: Good. Lt. Schnee, let's go.

He said to his lieutenant.

Winter:  Sir, may I stay here for a while. I have need to observe these new design weapons. You know, if some of them were jammed.

He take a few seconds until he replied.

Ironwood: Very well. Just meet me at the office once you're done.

Winter: Understood.

She gives him a salute and then he left the room to do other work. Afterwards, she look at him and she said.

Winter: I don't feel like it.

Polendina: Me too. But we have to follow orders, Lt. Schnee. The world is being threat by this new enemy such as the brotherhood of nod. I hope my daughter is safe.

Winter: Um, there's something I want to tell you.

Polendina: What is it?

She take some time to clear her throat and then she said.

Winter: Your daughter... She's siding with GDI.

Polendina: What?!

Winter: From what I heard to Gen. Ironwood, she wanted a free will for her life by removing her chip preventing us to control her.

Polendina: Hmm...

Winter: Doctor, we should do something before it will happen soon. We have to bring her back here. She's the only one that can stop anyone who are against not only Atlas, but also the other kingdoms.

Polendina: Winter... I'll be the one to decision. Not yours.

Winter: What?

Polendina: Listen, I create her to not only to become a first android with aura but also, I wanted to have a child of my own. Whether she decided to be live like any people or not. It's up to me to decide her decision.

He said. Winter just lost her words for what he just saying. Without say anything, she decided to leave the room to meet Ironwood at the office. Polendina just sigh as he was stressful in this difficult time. He went back to work to continue making more new weapons just for atlesian knight only.

...

Nod scientists continually doing a research about mysterious power of a young girl inside a life supply pod floating on the water inside. Shizaku just sitting there on a chair keep staring at her inside a pod. He question himself of what special about her. The answer is unknown. A scientist come to him as he said.

Nod scientist: Sir, the readings is stable but...

Shizaku: But what?

Nod scientist: Well... We have a theory that if she dies, her power will come out from a host and went to find another person randomly to wield it. But it can holds a power only for a woman.

Shizaku: A woman...

Then, he got a call on his earpiece so he answer it.

Shizaku: Yes?

Gideon (radio chatter): Come to my office immediately.

Shizaku: Understood.

He stands up from his chair and push aside a scientist as he went out the room to meet up Gideon at his office.

When he reach to the room, he notice three people that he recognize them before. They turn their faces around at him to reveal Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury are here in Nod territory. His eyes turns red as blood as he feel hatred grows on him.

Shizaku: You...

He pulled out his katana quickly and leap forwards as he goes to attack them until he heard Gideon said to him.

Gideon: Halt! Executor!

He responded by stopping himself from killing them and halt the attack. Emerald and Mercury gives a chills to never mess with him. But Cinder isn't afraid as she was amaze to see a similar to Adam except he's very calm, yet he'll always goes to kill his enemy. Gideon continue said to his executor.

Gideon: You must restrain yourself, executor. These three will explain themselves of why they found a way here to our land.

He quickly nodded as he putting his katana back to the cover, but he holds a handle if he was ordered to kill them quickly. Once it's done, Cinder turn her face at him and she said.

Cinder: Sorry for trespassing your territory. But, as you can see, you stole something for me.

Gideon: And that is?

Cinder: A fall maiden. A girl from underneath the school. The one has a power within her.

Gideon: Fall maiden. So that's what you call her. She's the only one that has a power within her.

Cinder just chuckles a bit and then she said to him.

Cinder: Oh sorry, Gideon. But she's not the only maiden live in this world.

Gideon; There's more maiden like her.

Cinder: Close enough. There are four maidens with each different abilities: Winter, Fall, Spring, and Summer. They are capable to be use against anything or anyone that you won't imagine.

Gideon is getting interested about maiden powers. It gives him an idea so he asked her.

Gideon: Can you show me the maiden power, Mrs...?

Cinder: Cinder Fall. If it's demonstration you want. Then here...

She raise her one hand as a fire appears on it. Gideon is surprised of what he seen the fire from her hand. He has no words about it. Cinder clenched it as she put out a fire and then, she said.

Cinder: There. Now you know the power of the maidens. I was able to take half of the power of Fall maiden. I was suppose to steal more power from her at underneath the school until your men just take her away from me. Now since we're here, I would like you to give me that girl so I can have a full power of Fall maiden and I will complete my mission.

Gideon: Hmm... Interested. But I'm guessing is what really brings you here for? My brothers and sisters have other things to do here.

Cinder: You read my mind... Very well. My mistress is interested to your advance weapons which is greater than Atlas.

Gideon: Who is this mistress?

Cinder: Her name is Salem. She's the one who create the grimms in the first place. She wanted to turn this world into a chaos spreading throughout lands with grimms. She wanted to make an alliance with you.

Gideon: An alliance?

He suddenly laughed as Cinder and her goons are confused of him. He stopped laughing and he said.

Gideon: I'm afraid... I can't do that.

Emerald: What?

Cinder: Why not?

Gideon: As you know, the brotherhood isn't about destroying the world or make ally with heathens such as you. It's about to bring peace by power.

Mercury: Peace by power? What the hell suppose to mean by that?

Gideon: I'm referred to bring fear to the people so they will have no choice but surrender their hopes and dreams. Our cause is to destroy things we really hate so much in order to have peace to end the war. That is why we always say to these words: Peace. Through. Power.

Mercury: I don't get it.

Gideon: Then that is why... You three are nonbelievers. And nonbelievers must be remove.

He said as he press a button. A door opens to see confessors coming through the room and surrounds them. Shizaku quickly pulled out his weapon to join them as well. Three of them are surrounded as there's no way to escape.

Emerald: I can't believe we fell into a trap!

Mercury: Hehehe... They aren't look tough.

Emerald: Not with him.

She said as she referring to Shizaku as he ready to attack soon. Mercury lost his pride that she was right.

Cinder: Gideon, you must be mistaken that I have a half of fall maiden powers to take you all down so easily.

Gideon: Perhaps so... But let's see if you against my executor. Shizaku!

Shizaku nodded as he stepped forward to fight her. The confessors stepped back to let both of them fight each other. Emerald and Mercury are also stepped back to let Cinder handle it. The battle begins when Shizaku jump forward to attack her. Cinder summon her double swords to block it. She swing her swords at him but he also block it. She raise her sword then goes strike at him but she was caught off guard when he grabbed her wrist tightly, force her hand to let go of her sword. He kicked on her stomach to push her away from him. She manage to stand as she feel angry of he able to take advantage her. So she decided to use her maiden power as she is floating on air, she used her magic as she fires at him. He able to dodge quickly with his semblance then he dash towards her as he jumps and kick at the right side, she was dropped on the floor as she hit on the floor so hard, she struggles to get up as she summon her bow and arrow to aim at him. But he grabbed her weapon and toss it away. He stomp on her stomach with his foot as she was scream in pain. Emerald covered her mouth with her hands as she was shocked to see him beaten her mistress. Then, he started to beat her face with his barehands in multiple times. Emerald goes to intervene only she was being stopped by confessors raising their weapons at her. Mercury didn't do anything as he watch Cinder being beaten up by Shizaku. He keep hitting her face with his fists until Gideon said to him.

Gideon: Stop.

To his response, he remove his foot on her and step back to see her being beaten on the ground. Her face has bruises all over it. Emerald and Mercury can't believe Cinder is defeated. Once it's over, Gideon order his confessors to take them to the cells. As for Cinder, she will be taking to a special cell to prevent her using a half fall maiden power against the brotherhood. When they're taking away, Shizaku put his katana back to the cover. He takes a breath in and out to calm his nerves. Then, he said to him.

Shizaku: I hope you satisfy about it. She could have a chance to kill me if she was so smart.

Gideon: Now we know she wasn't smart after all. So, this maiden is actually be useful for the brotherhood. A better brotherhood than heretic Kane he create it.

Shizaku: So what now?

He lean back to his chair to feel relax a bit. He continue said.

Gideon: We'll continue attacking on each kingdoms, especially the GDI.

Shizaku: Yes. I hope they won't find our gateway. If they reach here...

Gideon: They will contact to their superiors from our world to get a location of our base and they will destroy everything we have accomplished.

Shizaku: It won't that happen, prophet. Our legacy will be continue forward for the victory. We will prevail.

He said. He went out the room to do other things, leaving to him to do other things as well.

Penny POV

I was in GDI colonize nation as I went to the room to get my chips be removed from being controlled by Atlas. I couldn't believe that I just let out my swords to threat Gen. Ironwood like that. I feel... guilty. But he's trying to take me away from my friends and almost say insults to the leader of GDI. Well, I guess it's worth it. After they able to remove my chips, they told me there's someone is calling on the computer so they escort me to the room where I get the answer from a caller. And to be honest, I'm not familiar to this technology in my entire life so I ask a guard to help me to answer the call. He accepted and press a call button as the screen turns on to reveal my father is calling me. He said to me.

Polendina (on screen): Oh, hello daughter. How are you?

Penny: I'm fine.

Before I say anything to him, I turn my face to them as I tell them.

Penny: Can you two leave us, please.

Two guards are responded by leaving the room. Once they're left, I went look back at my father as I said.

Penny: Is everything alright there?

Polendina (on screen): Tell me, is it true? Is it true you're siding with GDI and having to remove your chip to prevent us control you?

Penny: *sigh* Yes... But this is what I wanted for so long. I know you create me for your own child, but Gen. Ironwood wanted something more. He wanted me to be a combat android that has auras and blend in the society so the enemy won't see me as android. But that's not what I want for my life I wanted to be free. Free to do anything than fighting in everyday. I want to have new friends like Ruby who saw me as a real human. She tells me I have a soul on inside of me. Gen. Ironwood didn't see me that way. So that's why, I decided to side with GDI so I can be free and doing other stuff while I'll helping them to win the fight. So please, father. Don't get mad at me...

I said. I lowered my head to feel if he disagree of me. But then, he said to me.

Polendina (on screen): My daughter, I would never mad at you.

I raise my head at my father on the screen as I was surprised of his words towards me.

Polendina (on screen): You... You are a most precious thing that I ever have a child of my own. You know, my wife and I wanted have a child someday so we can be a family. But it seems it's not that possible. She died from illness, along with unborn child. I was so depressed that I wanted to kill myself. But I have another way. That's why I create you, Penny. To have a child as my own. You are my daughter, and I won't never mad at you for my life. I'm just worried if something bad happen to you, but you able to defend yourself and you also helping your new friends to defend themselves as well. Penny, I wish I can be with you right now. But it seems Gen. Ironwood needed my skills to making more of these things here. I hope you understand.

He said. I slowly walking towards a screen and place my hand on it to show my father how I truly love him so much. Even though I was made for first android with aura, but it won't stop me from keeping going. Penny... I'm glad you're safe there. This is your chance to have a new life there. I'm so proud to see you joyful.

Penny: Father... Thank you for accepting it.

My father on the screen nodded me.

Polendina (on screen): We will see each other again, Penny. Be careful out there.

Penny: I will.

Polendina (on screen): Good. Goodbye, Penny.

He ended the call as the screen goes black. I was so happy he accepted my wish. I hope he wil come and decided to live with me here in GDI colonize nation. I went out the room to do other stuff here in this country.

Jaune POV

When I came back from menagerie, I still wearing my combat suit as I walked towards a canteen which it will repair soon. I can see some holes on the roof and some of the walls. As I enter the building, I see my every doctors and nurses are doing the best to keep people alive when they're attacked by grimms, white fangs, rogue atlas robots, and even the brotherhood. I see some of beacon students who are injured in the battle of Vale, I would want them to die for did to me before I arriving in earth. But I'm no better than the brotherhood. I swear an oath that GDI is always helping people to show them how truly protectors we are. As I walking pass them, I could see Cardin is on an operation best with injuries on him. Man, he really deserve it anyway, I don't care about him for what he did to me. I keep walking pass through them until I saw Ozpin looking around his students to see if they are okay when he notice me as I walk towards him. Ozpin said to me.

Ozpin: You did a good work to defend this kingdom, Mr. Arc.

Jaune: I did what I can to save the others. Although some of my men are dead but their sacrifice won't go in vain.

Ozpin: Yes. I'm so sorry to heard that. It's too much for you to burden.

Jaune: War always lose people you really trying to protect.

Ozpin: Yes, indeed. Anyway, your soldiers here in my school able to protect my students from your enemy despite what they did to you.

Jaune: Well, if I didn't sent my men here, they will be good as dead. But I have an oath to protect people from danger. But anyway, I'm going to occupy this kingdom for a while and the councils agrees it since Nod have invade here without a warning. We just to make sure they won't leave their crimes unpunished. Your huntsmen will need to keep away from them for they have same weapons as we do.

Ozpin: I understand... Mr. Arc, I need you to follow me privately.

Jaune: Sure.

I said. I follow him and we reach to the elevator as the doors opens and we went in. I thought we're going to his office but it seems he has something else. The elevator goes down as we waiting to reach a bottom floor. I'm wonder of what's he going to say to me when we get there. It stopped as the doors opens and we leave the elevator before elevator closed it behind us. We walking through a halls to see nothing but only the torches hanging on the side of the wall. Then, we reach to the dead end, there's a machine which it was destroyed for some unknown reason. Ozpin said to me.

Ozpin: Okay. Here we can talk.

Jaune: Mr. Ozpin, what is this place?

I notice he just sighed as he replied.

Ozpin: Tell me, do you read a fairy tale about the legend of the maidens?

Jaune: Umm... I think I have heard of that story before, when I was a young my mother read it for me.

Ozpin: Do you know who are four maidens?

Jaune: Winter, Summer, Spring, and Fall.

Ozpin: That's correct.

Jaune: Ozpin, what is this to do with fairy tale?

Ozpin: Well, between you and I, you may know that fairy tale is real.

Jaune: What?

Ozpin: Believe me, Mr. Arc. The maidens and magic are exist. The reason is that some people wanted to obtain that power for destruction and chaos. So my colleagues and I decided to make a story tale so the people will believe it was a myth, giving time for the maidens to blend in the society.

Jaune: Hold on. Who are your colleagues?

Ozpin: Myself, Qrow, Glynda, and even Ironwood.

Jaune: Is that why Ironwood brought to his army here in the first place?

Ozpin: Yes. But Ironwood make it much worse than I thought. Taking advantage by your enemy that could destroy this kingdom into a ruins. But it seems now we're safe thanks to you.

Jaune: Okay. But tell me, what is that machine is about for?

Ozpin: That machine... Well, let me explain to you. Not long ago, I have a report from Qrow she was being attacked by three people and I know what you're refer to?

Jaune: Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury.

Ozpin: Exactly. But it become new to me when I heard someone has stealing half of her power. She was going to steal a lot of power when Qrow came and save her just in time.

Jaune: But something happen to her, is it?

Ozpin: I'm afraid so. Her body is weaken. Her health is unstable that could leads to death. Fortunately, Ironwood invented this machine to keep her alive and stable. It also transfer a power to another person who is chosen to be responsibility.

Jaune: Wait. Transfer a power to another person? Why would you do that. Should let a power decide itself to pick a worthy person?

Ozpin: Actually, when a maiden dies, a power will spread throughout the world to find a young woman to obtain it. It will be possible of which woman are chosen to be a next maiden. Before this incident happen, we're almost running out of time. I fear something evil that will come here soon.

Jaune: Then tell me, who will be a next maiden?

Ozpin: I've already chose someone who is capable of handling a responsibility to have a maiden power.

Jaune: Who is it?

Ozpin: Pyrrha Nikos.

My eyes are shocked when he said Pyrrha is a next maiden. I can't believe it! I feel boiling on me ready to beat a crap on him for using Pyrrha to be a next maiden. She can't handle a much kind of power. She will be crushed if she accept it. I grabbed his collars and raise him up to the air. I angrily said to him.

Jaune: Why would you want Pyrrha to be a next maiden! Why!

Ozpin: Mr. Arc, try to under-

Jaune: You're not asking my question!

Ozpin: *sigh* I choose her because she was worthy to be a next guardian to protect from evil.

Jaune: I'm not allow it! You hear me, I'm not allow it! She's too much to bear that kind of power! She will lose her mind so I won't accept your decision. Do you understood?!

Ozpin: ... Yes...

After that, I let go of him as he dropped on the floor. He's getting up on his feet and his cane. I asked him a question.

Jaune: Tell me, what is a reason you brought me here?

Ozpin: Well... A maiden we brought her here is a Fall maiden. And like I said, her half of powers is stolen and she feels unstable. While you busying defending the city against your enemy, they somehow manage to infiltrate here in underneath the school. They took her away and never seen them again. That is, I found a hole when I come here to check if she's okay.

Jaune: A hole?

I said. Ozpin went back to the hall to find the hole so I follow him then we both found a big hole which destroys the floor.

Ozpin: What you can see here, they already came here just a few minutes ago. I don't know how they able to dig underground for so long but they have some vehicle to drill through underground.

Jaune: I'm guessing it's a reckoner.

Ozpin: Reckoner?

Jaune: Nod used reckoner to carry troops to the battle and they can drill underground so we can't see them coming. What you're saying is true then I have to be prepared.

I said as I walked towards the elevator to make prepare for my army. But before that, I turn around at him and I said.

Jaune: Mr. Ozpin.

Ozpin: Yes?

Jaune: When I'll get that maiden back, I make sure she will keep her powers and she will stay at my country with a fair treatment. I don't want to hear about this again. Is that understood?

Ozpin: I... I understand.

Jaune: Good. Also, don't choose Pyrrha. I don't want to see her soul be crumble. Goodbye.

I said as I went forward to the elevator as I press a up button and I enter it before the doors close it together.
