Chapter 43: Unforgivable

The war was still going on, Atlas fighting against a on coming horde of Grimm. The plan to blow up the Monstra from the inside was still being set in motion, but there was something that was sitting well with one person.

"So that's where she's been hiding." Sera said as she threw her White Fang emblem to the ground. "I'll make sure she pays for what she's done."

Sera Lykios, a former White Fang member, she had followed Adam into countless battles. But after finding out what happened to him and the Fang, angered her. She had no where to turn, expect for murdering the person who killed Adam and the Fang.

Sera clinched her fist as her silver eyes glared at the Monstra, she took out a pair of binoculars looking through it. She could see a airship flying from the side of the Monstra, assuming who it was she put the binoculars away. "That's gotta be her, there's no doubt about it.."

Inside the Monstra, Salem had put Draken, Jaune and Ren in a empty room. She glanced over to see Oscar still there, she had a small smirk on her face as she turned to look at the three. "You've wanted to save him..well here he is, but you don't seem to be in much shape of escaping anytime."

Salem walked out of the room, Oscar looked over at them as he noticed Yang wasn't with them. "Ozpin....I don't see Yang."

"Hmm, this is troublesome..." Ozpin said with a slight worried tone. "We can't get any answers out of those three, they're out...meaning."

"Meaning someone must've beat them." Oscar said fearing that he answered his and Ozpin's wondering question. "Oh....oh dear.....I think we've answered our own question...."

Ozpin was silent for a moment. "I fear as much...."

Sera had followed the airship as the war was keeping Winter and the others busy. Suddenly, it started to rain, but something was off about this rain. Sera glanced around as she watched the rain fall, looking at snow a few feet in front of her melt.

"Acid rain? Since when?" Sera questioned as she hid away from getting burned by the acid rain. She noticed Scarlet and Neo get out of the airship, her eyes were starting to glow as she saw Scarlet. "I knew it.."

Scarlet stopped as she looked up at the prisoner ship. "Only way in, is up." She looks at Neo. "Wait here."

Neo nods as she scans around the area, however Sera took Vulpus out, she pointed it at their direction as she turned Vulpus into it's mini gun form, she locked and loaded dust bullets in as she had them in her sights.

Before Scarlet could fly up to the ship, Sera yelled and pulled the trigger firing at the two. Dust bullets were flying everywhere as they flew towards and past Neo and Scarlet. "You'll pay for what you've done to the Fang!!!"

Time came to a complete stop as Scarlet had used her semblance, she glared over to where the bullets were coming from. She couldn't see Sera from where they were at, but she scanned the area regardless, she blinked letting time flow it's normal pace. "Where are you? Pesky faunus...show yourself."

Sera stopped firing as she gritted her teeth. She knew if those two were to approach her, the acid rain would eat away at their flesh. Sera had no idea Scarlet was immortal, so being blinded with anger and vengeance. She revved Vulpus back up as she started to fire more dust bullets at them.

Scarlet glances to Neo. "Be a doll and take care of the pain..." She started to float into the air as her eyes glowed with the Fall Maiden powers. The palm of her hand lit up with a fire ball as she flew up towards the ship.

Neo nodded her head a little as she smirked, looking towards the direction the bullets were coming from.

~~~

Sera scoffed as she watched Scarlet fly up to the ship. "Tch, she's getting away...wait...that glow..it can't be.." She was too focused on what Scarlet was doing and didn't notice Neo coming.

Thunder crashed down as lightning struck, Neo skipped her way over to where she assumed Sera was at. Scarlet threw the fire ball at the side of the prisoner ship making a massive hole in the side of it, she flew in as she stepped onto the floor.

Watts sat there in rubble as he looked to see what caused that explosion. "You..."

Scarlet snickered. "Hello doctor, it's time we had a little talk.." She lifted him up to his feet as she saw the door open.

Three or four guards rushed in guns aimed at Scarlet. "There she is!"

"Ara ara." Scarlet said as she pointed her flintlock at them. "There's who?" She grins and pulled the trigger getting a head shot on them all. She grabbed Watts and flew out of the ship, heading down towards the ground.

Neo clashed with Sera as Sera activated her semblance, turning her body silver. It was like a metal casing to protect her skin, but it boosted her strength. She managed to block Neo's attacks, and punched the mute in the face sending her flying back. Neo crashed into some rocks but shattered as it was a glass clone of her, Sera glanced around for the real Neo as she didn't see her anywhere. "I need to stop...I'm already getting headache and my nose is starting to bleed."

Scarlet flew down while holding Watts, since he well...couldn't fly without help. Neo looked up seeing them coming down, she had made sure that Sera was distracted long enough so she wouldn't notice what Scarlet had done.

"Neo, prepare our ship." Scarlet said as she landed on the ground with Watts. "We're going to go pay Ironwood a little visit."

"The General?" Watts asked. "Why would.....ah yes, right..I've been stuck in a cell I forgot what we were doing." He looked over to the airship that Neo had ready to go.

"Neo." Scarlet said as she stepped into the airship. "Did you take care of our problem?"

Neo nodded as she smirked, Watts gotten on next as Neo piloted the airship upwards. Sera took notice of this as she aimed Vulpus at the airship. "Not on my watch...you're not leaving my sights!" She pulled the trigger once more, but was out. "What? Out already?" Her head was still spinning but she did stop her nose from bleeding however.

The airship took off towards Atlas, Sera watched it fly of. Deciding to follow, in hopes she'd catch Scarlet off guard and end her before anything else happens.
