06x07 - The Grimm Reaper

[bunniefuu]

Stay close for fast.

Us.

But we can.

The sparrows. Born to fly. The mountain.

Take it back the.

And we'll catch the dream.

Would like the best.

This.

So.

So now you understand. I've got to get

the relic before it can be secured in Atlas.

It's the only way that Salem.

It's the only way we can accomplish our goal.

You are not the only one who wants Ruby dead.

But unfortunately, Salem does not feel the same way.

I've been instructed not to k*ll her. But you.

You have no such orders. You can do as you please.

Help me get to Atlas.

Help me find her. And the rest is up to you.

Well, that's a fancy trick now, innit?

Fried. It comes with a price, though. Love.

I don't think he realize who I am. Course I do.

You're the Grim Reaper.

The last s of your life.

Ha ha ha! Ha ha..

Ha ha! It was a close call.

I'll give you that. Ha ha ha.

You know, the only reason my master

wants you dead is because of your eyes.

But seeing as you ain't got them no more,

you might be able to convince me to spare your life.

Well, I respect that. Our fighter to the end.

But I wasn't.

I went into hiding soon after.

I can't believe it. You. You're the grim Reaper.

You were a legend, and then you disappeared.

How exactly does a legend just disappear?

You never used your name. Never showed your face.

Lots of us thought you were just laying low.

Eventually, we came to accept that you were probably dead.

But the story is about you. I based my w*apon off of yours.

I wanted to be as good as the Grim Reaper.

Well, I'm nothing but a disappointment. So you're well on your way.

How can you say that. Child, a hunter

is supposed to protect others to the bitter end?

But after I lost my eyes, I only ever looked after myself.

Even after my surgery, I was too afraid to fight.

Afraid someone would find me again. Finish what the others started.

You shouldn't aspire to be like me.

Especially when some of you are clearly stronger already.

It's comforting seeing that your generation seems

up to the task of inheriting this world.

I'm just sorry I didn't do more to leave it in better shape.

Well, maybe you can do something now.

Teach me to use my powers the way you did.

It's Sean. Huh? What? How? Hello, Ruby.

Oh. Thank you. I've been checking my scroll

for your signal since we made it

to the city. The city? Huh? Wait.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived in Argus.

Cute boy. Weezer. Oh. Come here. Are

you all okay? We were so worried.

It's been kind of a crazy trip.

That's an understatement. Wait, who's the old..

Lady? I'm so glad you're all safe. Seriously?

How did you guys. I am so regretting not catching.

Hey. I promise, didn't I? Yeah. You did.

It's good to see you guys.

It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

It's actually one of the largest non-capital

cities in all of remnant. No way.

Well, wait, wouldn't it be hard to settle

something this big away from the main kingdom?

Well, it was until mantle showed up. Whoa!

Early settlement. Attempts by Mistral didn't go well,

but colonists from mantle were able to help

them brave the cold climate and return

for goods at Saltus couldn't provide.

The two nations worked together to create

a hybrid city while it still falls under Mistral domain.

Atlas keeps a m*llitary presence here to help

keep the people safe and to keep

trade between the two nations steady. Well. Until recently.

Oh, we should probably start looking for a ship.

So where have you guys been staying? Uh. There you are.

Is that? Hey, Sal.

I can't believe I'm eating your sister.

I have so many questions. Oh, I..

Can give you the rundown later.

Will you guys knock it off? What?

I am not a baby. That is a baby.

Yes you are. Oh, look at your little face.

So, saffron, you're the only arc living here.

Yep. Move the second I could.

John and I are the only two living away from home.

I guess he just wanted to be like his big sis. I. Uh.

Uh, you didn't deny it or.

Everyone. This is my wife, terracotta.

Hey there. Nice to meet you. Why? Hello there.

Wow, quite a party. You weren't kidding,

hun. Could I get some help, please?

And you're sure it's all right if we stay with you?

Of course. We're happy to house huntsmen and huntresses.

You all risk so much to keep people like us safe.

It's the least we can do. Especially

for such an elite huntsman like yourself.

Although I will say I was surprised

to learn you had students helping you. Is that even legal?

Of course, think of it as an extended training mission.

Trust me, I was a professor. Even

went to the same academy as them.

And let me tell you, these kids

are way better than we were at their age.

Well, not better than me specifically, but a lot of students.

Shut up. There's food. Huh?

Oh. Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Hello. Is everything okay? Oh, yeah, it will be. Tara is

a technician for the town's relay tower.

Unfortunately, the m*llitary's radar system is also housed there.

Guess what's been on the Fritz lately.

And who's getting falsely blamed? Me.

So what's your plan for tomorrow? Well,

we're trying to make our way to Atlas.

We'll probably start with the m*llitary base.

So we kind of already tried that,

and it didn't go super great.

Come on. It couldn't be that bad.
