(A/N): Alright, Dark Siders, Light Siders, and everything in between. It's time to EXECUTE CHAPTER 66!!!


3rd. Person POV

Ironwood on PA speaker: Citizens of Mantle. Following the most recent Grimm attack, a temporary prohibition of assembly is now in effect. There are to be no public gatherings of any kind. Please conduct your business and return to your homes before curfew. This is for your own safety.

Ruby POV

Ironwood slammed his fist on his desk.

Ironwood: This is the worst case scenario! More people are dead, Penny's been framed, and somehow Jacques Schnee is sitting on the council!

Clover: That was the second shipment for Amity that was hit today. It seems election night was the last push Robyn needed to go from hometown hero to full-on vigilante.

Just then, (Y/N), Blake, Yang, and Vega burst into the room.

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) furious: What the hell happened out there?

Vega equally furious: How did everything manage to go hell in the span of one night?

Qrow: Penny's on the chopping block and Jacques is on the council. As you can guess, not... good...

Winter: I'm afraid the problem is more complicated than that.

Ironwood let out a frustrated sigh.

Ironwood: It seems Robyn has emboldened our suppliers in Mantle. They're refusing to sell us provisions until the city is adequately repaired. With Robyn redistributing the goods her team has stolen, the Amity Project is completely stalled.

Ruby: But we're so close. There has to be some way we can finish the tower.

Winter: There is... declaring martial law.

There was a pause after that. The atmosphere in the room was tense as we waited for Ironwood to respond.

Nora: You're not actually considering that, are you?

Ironwood: What's more important? Establishing communications, unite the world? Or appeasing a few city blocks?

Nora: Don't make it sound trivial when you know it isn't. You keep talking about how we just need a little more time, but you're not the one having to struggle.

Ironwood: We have all had to make sacrifices for the greater good. Mantle has had to bear a lot of the burden, yes. But-

Nora: They're bearing all of it! The longer this waiting game goes on, the harder each day gets for people down there and now you want to send in more soldiers? You can't force people to fall in line. If you do that, you'll just be trading all of these problems for the grimm.

Now the atmosphere was even more tense than it had been before. The atmosphere was broken slightly by Ironwood sitting down at his desk, appearing to be collecting his thoughts.

Ruby: Please General Ironwood. Squeezing Mantle this way... that kind of division plays right into Salem's hands. That's why Tyrian is here framing you.

Clover: Right, the reason we called you here in the first place. You're sure this was the man you saw?

His scroll projected a hologram showing who I could only guess was Tyrian.

Winter: Tyrian Callows was accused of murders all across Anima. A homicidal maniac who escaped justice when his prison transport was attacked by grimm. After that, he was never seen again.
