Tower

Before leaving, Aegis visited Sienna who after promising her he would finally claim her as his after he returned, relented and released Aegis from her crushing hug where she didn't stop rubbing her body against Aegis...

Thus telling Aegis of new signs of progress on multiple projects, even if Aegis could immediately see or know what kind of projects and their progress is with his neural implant, Aegis preferred a more organic and personal touch, especially when he could visit Sienna who growled like a feline beast in heat every time he visited...

Plus, Aegis knew that PR-wise, his visits were seen in a good light by his subjects, after all, not many liked King's who hid behind walls...

The Sentinel Tower, a new Sentinel Headquarters, as no longer they could use just normal Sentinel bases, as the personnel, logistics and protection needed for most important Sentinel fortress were needed to be added...

The Sentinel Tower still calmly rested on the ground, but in case of need, it could use its gravitational generators to fly into skies or even to space as it was entirely protected by both atmospheric and hard-light shields...

That said, the Sentinel Tower was built with the full-scale space war in mind as it was a devasting weapon in both atmospheres and outside of it in the space, having multiple missile silos from all of the kinds, nuclear, fusion, and even rare anti-matter, it could house ten heavy frigates, and two hundred new fighter prototypes that were build for space battle only, it had thousand construction drones, with another two thousand's of battle drones under Album's direct control, who had her own server inside of the Sentinel Tower, no need to say about the numerous defense system arrays of laser towers, to rail-gun towers, and wielding two Primis class super lasers and one super rail-gun, with numerous shield generators in each sector...

The Sentinel Tower was, is and probably by for a long time second biggest thing that was built by Solitas, just after Atlas, as the resource and personnel it took to just operate were enormous, but Aegis wanted for Sentinel headquarters to by a symbol of strength and might, and this was the result...

Normally Aegis wouldn't be so invested in such endeavor, but the Demon invasion showed him a need for such a thing, making Aegis sigh in relief that he let Album build it...

The sole existence of Sentinel Tower was a war deterrent, a show of might and wealth of Solitas, plus the moral rise would by astronomical once it will go public, Aegis already could hear someone call it second Atlas, as it was just as big, but where Atlas was a city for civilians, the Sentinel Tower would by a military headquarters of Solitas kingdom...

And Aegis wanted for it to by in the skies before he leaves, wishing for Solitas, for his family to be fully protected...

"Hey Weiss?"

"Hm? What it is Ruby?"

Weiss asked her partner and friend.

"Arent you... Kind of cold to Aegis?"

"This again?"

Weiss sighed as she looked at her worried partner, as the topic of Aegis Schnee once again flowed out...

"Yea, sorry, I just... He is, well a good, and kind..."

Ruby said as she frowned herself.

"Does it to do something with the fact he acts as a loving brother to your younger self?"

"...No..."

"Of course not."

Weiss snorted, not believing Ruby even one word as she saw Ruby look away, Weiss sighed...

"I don't... I don't dislike him..."

"No?"

"Of course not you dolt! I just..."

Weiss frowned as the reason once again rose in her heart, making her frown on both herself and the very idea of feeling such a thing...

Weiss didn't want to acknowledge the fact that the sole reason she was so antsy around Aegis, the big brother of her alternate self, was because she was jeleaous...

She was jealous of the fact he was so kind, that he protected his little sister, that he showed so much love, that he changed the entire family for the better, that he cleared SDC name, that he was so successful...

And most of all, she was antsy of the love he so much radiated around them, making them all feel accepted and loved, something Weiss was not accustomed to, yes she got that from her team, but this was Schnee family, it was so different from the cold reality Weiss was so accustomed to...

And even more, scared she was of the fact that she feared she would soon feel the same love her alternate feels...

"Just... Just let it by Ruby, I don't want to speak about it."

"...Ok... Well, what do you want to speak about?"

Ruby said as she relented in changing topic, as she herself started to feel uncomfortable when she thought about Aegis who seemed to be the wonderful big brother she always wished for, yes Yang was a good big sister, but Aegis was something different...

"Maybe about the fact someone other than Ren is missing?"

Blake said as both Ruby and Weiss shot up and looked in BLake's direction in alarm.

"Really? You really forget that im there?"

Blake asked as she looked at the duo, her ear twitching in annoyance...

"He-hey Blake, how much you h-heard?"

"How much I didn't hear you mean?"

"Eeehhh..."

Ruby made a whining sound as Weiss sighed into her hands, still her head whipped to Blake.

"Jaune isn't there, we know..."

Weiss said as it was one of the first things they looked at when they arrived at Beacon.

"Yes, and now I finally know why."

Blake said as she threw her Scroll at Weiss who caught it with the grace of lady...

"Be careful with it, you brute! This thing cost lien!"

"Nah, it doesn't, Aegis gave it to us."

"Yes but it still cost!"

"Not for Schnee and their friends."

Blake smirked as Weiss's fingers twitched.

"Ohh? And how do you know that?"

"Well, Aegis gave me one of his cards, saying that I can buy anything that catches my eye."

"WhAT?!"

Ruby shot up, as she looked at Blake with a gaping mouth, and Weiss wasn't so different.

"You cant! T-thats Schnee money!"

"Nuh uh, I can, he said so, plus..."

Blake said, but stopped herself, no need to tell them that Aegis gave it to her once he saw how much in love she is with tuna, saying that she can buy all tuna in the world, but need to divide with younger Blake, something Blake didn't mind...

"You--! No! I refuse to speak about this, let see what you found."

Weiss said through gritted teeth as she looked at the image on the scroll and the text above it, gasping in shock, as Ruby joined her and looked, just to release a laugh.

"Oh, oh my gosh!"

Ruby laughed in hilarity as she saw the text.

"Champion of League of Huntsmen! Jaune Arc from Arc team!"

"H-he became player!"

"It's called a gamer."

Weiss said as she too couldn't tremble as tears strolled her face at the hilarity...

Blake just shook her head...
