05x03 - Unforeseen Complications

[bunniefuu]

Back to the fairy tale. Back to the show.

Back to the wall. And there's nowhere to go.

Hopeless and desperate. All pass it first.

Things looking bleak and about to get worse.

Helpless and there's no way to. Goals

are achievable. Phase one is dead.

Possible. And that's when you learn you've

been messing with God and in your primp.

And.

The whip over all. We need a miracle. We go.

Two wins away. Okay. They can bring back would.

We will enjoy. The world is far. The voice is the.

Are you ready? Yes, it won't be easy

for the people to hear, but the truth often isn't.

I know they'll do the right thing.

You got this?

Mean to us live and. Speaking to us in a..

State where former white faith leader.

And she's always a tough.

Thank you all for assembling here.

I wanted to take time to address

some of the rumors that have been circulating around our island.

I believe that it is important for the people

of this territory to understand the truth.

No matter how you feel about the human race,

I think we can all agree that the event,

now known as the Fall of Beacon was a tragedy.

A tragedy that will set both man and Faunus kind back.

While the main aggressor is still unknown.

We do have official confirmation that Adam Taurus,

the leader of a powerful splinter group working inside the White Fang,

was partially responsible for these att*cks.

His actions not only tarnished the reputation

of an organization originally created to bring

peace and equality to all, but to our entire race.

With each day that this man remains unpunished,

it becomes increasingly difficult to condemn those that look down upon us.

Recently, a spy from this same splinter

group set their sights on this very home.

My own daughter, Blake, and her friend

did their very best to apprehend this individual.

While they were unsuccessful after being physically assaulted and seriously injured.

They were successful in obtaining the assailant scroll.

With this, we have been able to ascertain

that Adam Taurus has plans to overthrow

the current leader of the White Fang,

Sienna Khan, and take over the reins himself.

His radical plans. Do not stop there.

The documents on this scroll proclaim his

next target to be Haven Academy and its attached CCTV tower.

Their plan is to strike on the last

full moon before the beginning of the fall

semester, roughly two months from today.

I have sent my swiftest messenger to the government of Mistral,

but I believe we have a greater responsibility.

My relationship with the White Fang has been an interesting one.

Years ago, I led the organization to help

try and create a world where I and every Faunus

who wished could walk alongside the human race.

And while I believe we made great strides toward this goal,

it was made clear to me that the people

both in and out of the White Fang wanted faster results.

So I stepped down and Sienna Khan was appointed as my successor.

It's true that I do not fully condone many of her methods.

What I do condone is what Sienna fights for.

The idea that the Faunus and humans are and should be.

Adam Taurus does not seem to have that goal in mind.

What he has done benefits no one but himself.

I think it's time that the fans

showed the world that we are equals.

Time that we snuff out this splinter

group and restore the White Fang to what it once was.

To do this, I think the answer is clear.

We must go to Haven and protect it at all costs.

Before we proceed any further, I'd like

to invite my daughter to come and share her story,

not only as a former member of the White Fang,

but also as a survivor of the fall of Beacon.

You can do this. Traders.

Cowards. After everything the humans have done

to us, everything they've put us through.

You're asking us to help them?

I know we haven't been treated fairly.

Where was their help when the dust

companies treated our people like slaves?

Where was their help when kingdoms hunted

Faunus just for being who they are.

Where was my help when my parents

were k*lled? In a dust mine? Where?

Young lady, progress takes patience and cooperation.

The Belladonna's are the worst kind of Faunus.

They want us to work with the same

people that are trying to hold us down.

If you truly, truly want to help your people,

now is the time to support Adam, not the Belladonna's.

He will bring about the future that you deserve.

And if you are unwilling to fight,

know that the White Fang will do it for you. Shut up!

After her.

Did he age backwards? He's possessed..

Or reincarnated. Oh, isn't it weird?

It is very weird. Yes. Okay, okay.

Let's all just take a second

and remember that this is very overwhelming for everyone.

Thanks.

Yeah. At. Sorry. It's just I've

never really met huntsmen and Huntresses before. Well.

We've never met a person with two

souls, so first time's all around.

Mm.

Not to break up the whole getting to know you game,

but we need to have a talk.

Mind showing us your little pilot trick, kid?

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Just so you know. I'll still be here.

It is so very good to see you.. Again, students.

Wait. What just happened? Professor Osbourne. Correct.

And though I may be the one

speaking, Oscar is still present mentally.

He's merely handed over the controls, so to speak.

Just don't make us do anything embarrassing.

I'm afraid this all must be very perplexing..

And alarming and bizarre and just really

kind of hard to believe overall.

It's good to see you children still have your sense of humor.

I know you've all been through tremendous hardship already.

I'm sorry. I mean, it's not your fault. It's all my fault.

I told you once.. That I'd made more mistakes than any man,

woman and child on this planet. And I wasn't exaggerating.

I'm cursed. For

thousands of years I have walked the surface of remnant living,

dying and reincarnating in the body of a like minded soul.

The professor asked.. Him. You

all met was not my first warn and clearly wasn't my last.

It's an extraordinarily strenuous process on everyone involved.

So who? What are you? I am the combination

of countless men who have spent their

lives trying to protect the people of remnant.

With every rebirth, my soul is eventually

merged with another and I am changed.

But my memories stay with me. This curse

was bestowed upon me by the gods

because I failed to stop seeing them in the past.

But we must stop her now.

And how do we do that? We start.

By ensuring the safety of the relic of knowledge.

Uh.

Well, well, well, look who's awake.

What? What's going on? Where am I?

You know, I never thought I'd see a Schnee in this camp.

For? No.

What do you want? Straight to the point. I like it.

We don't normally deal in trafficking people.

Not really worth our time. But once

we realized we had a Schnee, that changed.

You're going to ransom me back to my father, is that it?

probably do quite well around here.

I would never sink to your level.

Just keep quiet and cooperate, and you'll

be back in your mansion before you know it.

Don't make this complicated.

What's going to make this complicated is when

my sister finds out that I didn't make it to Mistral.

You know my sister, don't you? Winter Schnee,

special operative of the Atlas m*llitary.

She's in Mistral now, and when she hears I'm missing,

it won't take her long to find me. And you?

What's so.. Funny?

Oh, I don't know if it's more funny or sad,

but you're clearly out of the loop.

Your sister isn't in Mistral anymore? No.

Atlas personnel are in Mistral anymore.

General Ironwood closed the borders and recalled

all of his little troops in tin cans.

No one is coming to rescue you.

This is perfect. We were stuck at a dead end,

but now we can just take a little

cute boy Osbourne to Lionheart and have him set things straight.

Please don't call me that. We're not sure that's the best idea.

Uh huh. But I thought the headmasters.

All took their orders from you.

That was the intention. For lieutenants I can

trust, especially during times of reincarnation.

But Crowe told me about your meeting with Leonardo.

He isn't just behaving irrationally. He's disobeying

specific instructions I had left him.

Something's wrong. I don't want to jump to conclusions,

but I don't want to rule out any possibilities either.

No one outside of this room knows

that I have paired with Oscar,

and I think it may be best to keep it that way.

Play things close to the chest until we get a better hand.

Precisely. Now we have two steps ahead of us.

The first is enlisting the aid of more huntsmen.

But the Mystical Council.. Doesn't

own every huntsmen in the kingdom.

And I've been here enough times to know

where we can find some more. So long as they're trustworthy.

You can trust them to put up a good fight.

I'll throw together a list tonight.

Good luck with that.

After that, we can move on to step two.

What's step two?

Getting you four into fighting shape.

But we already know how to fight.

You can only fight so long as you have Crescent Rose,

but you're still lacking in hand-to-hand combat.

Well, yeah. Mr. Ark, I'm glad to hear you've improved,

but sorry to say, you've yet to unlock your semblance.

All of you still have a ways

to go before you're ready to pose

any real thr*at against Salem and her forces.

And though Oscar can give me temporary control,

he'll need to strengthen his body and his aura.

Wait, what? He'll inherit my muscle memory and time.

But practice will expedite the process.

But if curls out looking for huntsmen,

then who's going to teach us?

Well, I believe I was the headmaster of Beacon Academy.

We have approximately one month before classes resume at Haven.

If Salem were to plan an att*ck,

it would make sense that it occur prior to students return.

It's not much time, but it's better than nothing.

Just don't expect me to go easy on you. Ha ha ha.

Uh. You've got to be kidding me.
