"Good, you're here." I walk forward in a hurry to see General Ironwood, Professor Glynda, and a guy with red cape and a sword on his back
"She looks normal, when you said alien I figured she'd look like one of those on films..." He says as we enter the elevator and I stand straight
"Hello sir, I am Mathilde Loisel from Japan and I'm an Ajin." I introduce myself seeing that he knew the information about me being not from here
"Yeah yeah, I had the gist of what you are...hearing how you'd put your endless life for us you'd make a pretty good job better than I could if you know your stuff with a weapon againts our stuff on this world." He says then taking out a flask drinking infront of me
"The names Qrow...try not to stab us in the back..." I see he is a local drunk...
"I'll be happy to learn from in the sole purpose of defending this world to get back to mine..." I say
"Alright Alright, just drop the formal act...god did James make you into one of his men?" He glares at the General and he glared back
"We have brought you here in a sense...to calm our nominatee and also to see the Maiden yourself..." Professor Glynda says and I nod
"The candidate for the Fall Maiden..." I mutter then the elevator opens and I stop myself to gasp seeing Phyrra
"Sorry we're late." The General says as I follow behind but still looking at Phyrra
"Wait-!What is this?! Who are you?" Phyrra asks the Headmaster
And I look to him saving all of my comments about this for later since I am also partially blind to this
"You know who we are...we are still the same Headmasters, Professors, and Friend you met..when you arrived at Beacon"
"Except we've got a little part time job..." Qrow says
"We are the protectors of this world, and we need your help..." Headmaster Ozpin says
While I just look at Phyrra for what she has to say,
I'm not really sure why they brought me here to simply calm her down, but as someone she knows to appear in a group like this
No wonder she'd be confused...making me feel what I was arriving here,
I have her stand beside me in the elevator but not look at her while she looks at me
"...Where are we going...?" She asks to me
"The Vault...under the school." The Headmaster replied for me
The adults walked forward as I look infront of me
"Y-you haven't been here too...?" Phyrra asks me then I look at her then smiled
"You'll understand more about me...Once we see what they wanted to show us." I say making her go forward as I follow behind
"I'm sure you must have questions..." Professor Glynda says waiting for us as I looked around
"Maybe one..or two..." Phyrra says
"...You said I was next in line to accept the Fall Maidens power, but what did you mean by that?" She asks
I've listened through their discussions as I looked around, the place also seemed to be a storage for medical purposes seeing parts of machines here and there.
While hearing about the rules of how a Maiden is chosen, I also look around and discovering that the exit is only the elevator which was also the only entrance
"Listen, we can give more of the details once we know that you are with us...for now all you have to know is that one of the Maidens were attacked, and for the first time in history...Part of her power got stolen..." Qrow says as I parted back with the group after picking up a certain staff
Professor Glynda then placed a hand to the staff taking it away from my hands using her semblance and placing it infront of us leaned to the machine
"Is that..." Phyrra looks closer
"The Current Fall Maiden...Amber.." the Headmaster sighs as I also look closer then to the machine
"This machine...it's stabilizing her..." I say looking at the Vitals on the monitors
"But these are too low to be normal if kept for long..." I mutter then see that Phyrra was looking at me
I'm in no position to be against of your decisions...but I also don't want my friends to be involved
"We dont know when she passes...or where will her power go..." General Ironwood says as I move back looking at Phyrra facing Amber
"To her assailant..." she understood
"And that would not go well...for any of us, this situation had never happened in history..." The Headmaster turns to Phyrra
I look behind the machine to where could the Relic be from my understanding.
"...If all of this is true...Why keep it a secret?! If this girl is truly important and if we are on the brink of war! Why not tell anyone?!" Phyrra looks at us and I step forward
"Phyrra...power like this beyond your worlds common knowledge, will either show humanity's true colors and do wrong...doing that would be playing along our enemies hands, it'll just bring chaos than peace and understanding..."I say
"Trust me...I know...and I've been through your thought in question." Most of Humanity are trash and will leave us to become Test Subjects like lab rats
"The fear...the divide, the never ending conflict to those who will be titled unfortunate to have a power such as a Maiden, will not be safe...it will only make an enemy for the future." I say looking at Amber
"And from we understand...it used to be common knowledge, the Existence of Maidens..." Professor Glynda says
"How do you think Legends get made up? Even the craziest ones come from somewhere.." Qrow drinks more on his flask
"Our group is made to protect Mankind, and the Maidens...and Anomalies..." Professor Glynda says placing a hand to my shoulder
"As Miss Loisel had said, panic will bring creatures past the history before the Maidens were maid. Which is why-"
"I'll do it." Phyrra cuts the Headmaster off as I clenched my fist
"If you believe that this will help protect humanity...then I will become your Fall Maiden..." Phyrra says facing us
But we were all too quiet for her sudden decision,
Unlike me, Phyrra have a decision to walk away and live a peaceful life than fight with us...a true choice
"That was what you wanted me to say, wasn't it?" She asks
"It is but-! It's not that simple given of Amber's condition, you wont be able to inherit her powers naturally...However, General Ironwood believes he has a solution." The Headmaster turns to him
"In many years, Atlas has made studies of Aura and even through distraught methods, but we believe that we've found a way to capture it..." He says and I look at him
"Capture it...then cram it into something else, or for your case..." Qrow says pointing at Phyrra
"Thats!"
"Classified."
"Wrong!"
I sigh at the discovery of human experiment still existing on a world like this
"The feeling is mutual. But desperate times calls for desperate measures..." Professor Glynda says
"And these are indeed desperate measures...We can't give Amber's powers to you but we can give you what the powers are bound to..." the Headmaster says and I look at Phyrra then places a hand to her shoulder
"Don't worry...I'll make sure the transfer will be a success for you." I tell her then she moves away from me
"Her Aura, her life will become intertwined with you...the question is..."
"What is that gonna do to you? That is where this immortal comes to play...she's experienced with experiments done on her." Qrow points to me
"You have an important decision to make infront of you Miss Nikkos..." Headmaster Ozpin says
"Give us until the Festival is over, then we will need your answer..." he continued
But Phyrra looks at me and shakes her head to no
I also wonder if the General had planned for this to happen knowing how much I care about my friends...
_______________
The Finals rounds finally starts as stay on standby with the medics,
I look at Phyrra and she looks visibly bothered...
Then I turn when a hand was placed on my shoulder to see Cinder
"Oh hey, congratulations on getting to the finals with your team." I say and she smiles
"Thank you, we've worked really hard to get here especially Mercury." She says standing beside me as Mercury and Yang are chosen to fight first
"I can see that, but Yang works hard too.. so don't get your hopes too high" I smile watching the fight go
If that were me, my head would have been blown on live TV
"Are you allowed to walk with me? Or are you busy?" Cinder says and I look to her
"Well I guess I could use a 30 minute break, plus most of the staff are leaving since this is the last fight..." I look around to see if I could find Miss Peach
"Sure, why not." I say and changed to my civilian clothing then my blue cardigan
"Where's Emerald and your teammate? Are they at the bleachers?" I ask as Cinder nods
"I'm sorry they still haven't warmed up to you, but they mean well" She says and I wave my hands
"No! No! I-... It's not easy what you guys are going through... and for what I did will need me to live longer and make up for the wrongs I did..." I say as we walk
"Is your power truly uncontrollable? You've been able to have it work well with you on the battlefield." She says and I smile
Right she knows of my Immortality...
"She usually only moves when she feels that we're threatened...or to those that I don't feel safe towards but at times she has her own way to do things..." I say then I look up
"So far I can only get her to come out 3 times...with how much I die unlike me she cant reset" I say placing my hands on my pockets
"I'm confused, you haven't told us about to the General or the Headmasters...why is that?" Cinder asks
"...What I've done...is something they've dealt with already...but you guys are different...you actually make me know that what I've done was wrong even though it was out of my control...That is why I will do what I can to help you." I say
"It's not that what they're doing is wrong, I just... need a reality check sometimes." I say putting my hands on my pocket
"You don't think you can trust them?" Cinder asks me
"N-no! I do trust them, I trust them with my life...I... I need to learn on how to fix my own problems...they've held my hand more than enough...and I'm grateful for them." I say then I gasp and stop Cinder
"What is it?" She asks
I look infront of me and see Adam with a group of the White Fang infront of us,
"Run...WE HAVE TO RUN-" I have Cinder run infront of me then I notice that I feel dizzy
Damnit they got me-
As I fell to the ground I pretend to be knocked out cold when I've stabbed myself quick enough to reset then I kick down the one infront of me and knocked him
But he grabbed my hair and headbutted me and shot me with another tranq forcing me to reset myself again.
I use my scream to freeze them and sigh in relief
Once I got up I got shot on my leg and see the White Fang members now surround me with Guns
"Damnit! FRO COME OUT!" I force her out and gasp when she started violently attacking them
"No! Just knock them out! Fro stop!" I say and I'm shot with a traq again making me reset myself
I glare at the one who shoot me and ready my knife and ran at them piercing his chest
"Remove this knife then you die..." I say taking his gun and resetting myself
I gasp when Fro had killed civilians
Wait civilians.....?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"H-help..." I turn behind me to see it being an Atlas Personel
Wait what....?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"MATHILDE LOISEL! I ADVISE YOU TO STAND DOWN!" I drop the weapon and fell to my knees
What happened...
What did I do....?
What did I just do...
"Penny..." I look at her aiming her blades at me as she finishes Fro
"Penny what happened." I stand then gets shot by a traq from an Atlas Personel
What did I just see....
All of those White Fang Members...
They were there weren't they?
No...
I look at the bodies of the people Fro killed when they were a group of White Fang members...
"How could I have done this..." I mutter falling on the floor
Whatever it is that I've seen....
It doesn't change the fact that I've murdered people again...
"We will take you away. Please comply for the safety of others." Penny tells me while cuffing me as I pass out
