Chapter 177: The Crown (6)
~Jack POV~
"Thank you!!"
"To think we were treated like livestock for our Auras."
"He…. That monster did things to us… ahh…"
"I will never disobey mommy again…"
"That bastard touched us in ways he… he…"
"Thank you Hero of Remnant!"
"Were free!"
"We're free!"
"Hail the Future Foundation!"
"Hail Jack Nights for the Hero of Remnant!"
Gees…
These guys were really in trouble treated as literal slaves and sex slaves to that Jax bastard huh?
Ouch.
I can't even tell how they should go on about them then get help.
Luckily enough
They were thankful for the words of support but what they need is their families to comfort them.
Still though with those loyal of The Crown dealt with and Gillian Asturias caught no longer a threat with the Aura cuffs she's completely done for.
Also adding the fact, I showed her personally what happened to her 'allies' that wanted to bring back the ancient age or I would call dark age of theirs to Monarchy again which is a bad idea.
And to make matters worse they followed the words of a man child and very delusional insane man lead them all to death.
Sigh…
Shaking my head and helping out the people that were caught by The Crown the victims made sure to beat up Gillian with hollow blank eyes on her while the victims beat her up.
I made sure she was alive and healed after feeling the victims attempts for stealing their freewill and for those she treated as literal Aura batteries.
Although the idea of having living Aura batteries is appealing I think going with animals would be a lot more easier than people.
At least with a bunch of awakened Aura open pet animals would be more ideal to use
Really what's with people using people to absorb or stack their own powers?
Truly these people don't use other alternatives than just oh look how about we use people as a main battery source!
See?
Really dumb idea in practice when you lose and get the shit beaten into you when past victims enact their revenge on them.
Lucky or unlucky for Gillian I was left to safeguard her as I need her to take the fall on this along with confiscating all of their magic artifacts the foot soldiers and the Eyes of Grimm on the loyalist to The Crown out.
Glancing at my Scroll I saw the bars finally show up while I smiled at this.
Guess the clone I sent to fix it up managed to reconnect Vacuo with the rest of the world again allowing me to contact Ozpin on my Scroll placing it on my ear, "Hello? Mister Nights this is a rather surprising call from you? What can I do for you today."
Taking Gillian with me dragging her back to the Crown Bunker empty rooms with the victims freed and ate the food that 2B provided for them with the Capsules?
While I finally have a room and place to talk with Gillian beaten with hollow eyes gazing at me with a fire of anger at my direction.
Finally responding to Ozpin in a clear voice for him to hear I explain to Ozpin of the situation of what happened, "Ahem! Where do I even begin? I'll give you a detailed report of what happened later Ozpin but I'm giving you a summary of today's events…"
With that I began to report to Ozpin about what was happening in Vacuo and The Crown managing to get control of Shade Kingdom. Along with Theodore was brainwashed a few days or maybe weeks ago.
In the moment I wouldn't be sure how much info we lost and how much Salem gained about this.
And this is actually very concerning since Theo was the one to give out info.
If it was James then no issue but Theodore… well…
Think of him having the paranoia comparable to Batman or less than that supes paranoia about the unknown.
Out of all the Headmasters out of the four in the Kingdoms Theodore is by far the most cautious of them all even surpassing Ironwood surprisingly enough.
Headmaster Theodore as an actions, over words type of person, he also makes it a point to respect local authorities, declaring a school-wide curfew once Grimm Watch reports students conducting unofficial Huntsmen business after hours.
Despite this, Theodore is much more cautious than Ozpin or James Ironwood, referring to his fellow Headmasters as reckless. He puts his priority in protecting his students, making questionable choices for their sake as read in the books about him with the team shakeup and re-initiation to get them on equal footing.
His protective nature of the students goes so far to even conduct research on students from all other Academies, as shown by his introduction to Team CFVY, where he explains he had been making files on them since before the Vytal Festival.
Theodore makes it so that the students of Shade Academy are all rightfully powerful individually.
Perhaps that is actually something that could end up biting us in the ass.
I might have to check out Theodore research notes of the students of each Academies for my own personal info about future allies or enemies in the near future.
Next, I explain to Ozpin more about The Crown might've been an ally to Salem and was lucky for us to deal with them before they could cause some trouble, "Also I found the Eye of Grimm on few of the members loyal to Jax and Gillian. I think we got off lucky with The Crown picking the wrong enemy to face with taking them out as a deciding factor in Salem allies or plans for the foreseeable future."
After giving Ozpin my explanation taking in the info I gave before he finally sighs at this before he finally replies to me, "Sigh… at least we won't have to worry about them. Quite I'm surprised that Salem would do such action is… not favorable for her at all."
Laughing lightly at the old wizard response I explain to Ozpin that this event wasn't probably from Salem orders but their foolish leader Jax on the other hand, "Hahaha… Nah. Salem is way too cautious. It's probably more so due to Jax their former leader wanting to control me. Too greedy is what got them caught and members killed."
Gillian glares hatefully at me that promise pain.
Hmm…
Taking a look into her mind I took a quick peek to see how much her mind is affected by the whole situation.
Placing my gaze to her I used
Opening my mouth to her and their so-called dreams of ruling Vacuo then conquering Remnant was flawed from the start turning off my Scroll, "Oh shut up already. You and your shit stain of a brother are delusional of ever thinking of conquering Remnant. It was a childish dream when you thought of it so long as I draw breath. Your plan was meant to fail from start to finish. And that idiot trying to play pretend to Malik was a wannabe man child wanting death. And you're an even foolish sister for allowing him to think like that. He deserved to die."
Her eyes twitched while I sense her killing intent as her eyes widen in pure rage listening to her thoughts in rapid pace, 'I will kill him and all he loves…. KILL HIM! KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!! KILL HIM!!!! KILL HIM!!!!'
Yeah, she gone crazy now.
But…
Turning my eyes towards her with my hand over her head I might as well use the skill
Simple.
I don't need someone like her on the loose.
Using
[
Tell the truth and then take out your own life out of grief.
Sad but at least this won't connect me of taking her out.
When that was done with and knocking her out cold. I began to take Gillian away while see 2B and Koromaru helping the victims leave the area of the Wasteland by foot the sooner we won't be surrounded by Grimm.
Maybe Theodore would finally come with Bullheads to come and pick us up by then.
Actually…
I should've done that first.
At least I should take care of that and get everyone a ride back.
Opening up my Scroll I began to contact Theodore to call for help and pick up a group of people to get them back home.
Guess there are some work can't be done in a day.
Still, I think this was the best outcome for me because I won't have to worry about this group during the Fall of Beacon with Jax controlling allies to fight for him.
Best to get rid of the weed before it pollenates over to everything else.
