Chapter 2: Investigations
Note: Well, it seems quite a lot of people are liking this story though only some voiced their comments on it so I guess I'll continue the story as we planned.
Unless anyone here has anything else in mind to add to the current storyline.
——
Two figures walk, one walking while the other was being carried, through the stone brick tunnel into a large circular field of the sixth floor colosseum.
inside the field is where a skeletal creature with a dense body structure was clad in blackish purple ornamental robes with a hood over its bony head.
Momonga the Necromancer.
The Skeletal Necromancer held out his right bony hand towards a straw dummy "Fireball" the undead mage called out his spell, a reddish orange ball of fire was conjured in his hand then hurled it towards the straw dummy which exploded into a blaze of glory.
"Hm, it seems fire spells have the continuous fire damage stat. Write that down Demiurge" Momonga called out to the next figure who was standing relatively close to the undead mage.
The figure was a demon that appears to be a man, his form was rather darkish brown skin tone and his body lean looking though underneath the clothing the creature was certainly more toned and buff then he appears, he wears a red striped suit that has a dragon-like tail protruding from the behind.
The man's eyes were covered by a pair of round shaped glasses that hid said eyes kinda like one way glass, his hair was a chocolate brown spiky and defied gravity going upwards.
Overall, the dragon tailed man looked incredibly professional, "Understood Lord Momonga" Demiurge said as he wrote down notes on Momonga's combat test.
The Overlord Undead looked over towards one of the few entrances of the colosseum to find a man in a black hoodie with a golden multi colored sash on the right bicep, and blue jeans with a holster on the belt made to hold a sleek black colored book with no pattern or design.
The hoodie man was carrying a small pink haired young woman in a blanket that is covering her modesty, like she had any, the slime woman looked over and shouted out in her usual high pitched voice "Hi Momonga-Onii-Chan!" Her voice made the skeleton man chuckle slightly.
"I see that you're testing yourself Momonga, I assume you've understood our situation" Jaune called out to the skeleton 'co'-leader.
The dark robed necromancer nodded at the blonde angel "We still must be cautious, we don't know much about our situation nor do we know if other players aside from us. Now then Jaune, Touch Me had informed me that you will be heading the investigation to the north. I appreciate it, it allows us to focus on other things" The undead mage said, to which Jaune gave a slight nod of his gratitude.
"It's fine but I will need two of the floor guardians to watch my back just in case we get attacked during my investigation, and on the subject, I need you to send a few scouts to the village in the south but don't make contact with them. I don't trust you idiots on making a good first impression of our home" Jaune explained his need for the floor guardians and the reason that they have eyes trained on the southern village.
Momonga touched his bony chin with his thin skeletal fingers to think then nodded "I understand, it's better to be safe than sorry if the south village does harbor any warriors to best us. A good idea to keep Nazarick protected while keeping our eyes on them but I assume you will be opening talks with them sometime soon?".
Jaune simply gave a nod before his attention drew to the slime woman who got out from the blonde angel's grasp "Momonga-Onii-Chan! Where's Aura and Mare? I want to begin with my task to learn and understand the NPCs, I want to start with my own creations first"
"The gigantic tree, they wished to wait for you before they received any orders." The skeleton responded to which Buku gave a nod to him.
"Thanks, I remember stuffing Aura's closet with a godless amount of dresses so at least I can get something to wear so bye!" The slime woman exclaimed before pitter pattering away out of the arena leaving the skeleton, demon and angel.
Jaune watched the love of his life go before returning his gaze back to the necromancer "Back to business, I need two floor guardians to watch my back while I investigate the excavation site"
"Right, shall I recommend two or do you already have two in mind? I must ask that you don't request Victim, earlier, I've sent Yuri Alpha to 'investigate' the eighth floor so it's essentially under lockdown until she's completed her search, so until then, Victim must remain on the floor" Momonga informed the blonde angel of the situation involving one of the floor guardians, the strongest created NPCs of the guild.
Jaune seemed to nod at the situation, Momonga was always the best one to call on when it comes to managing large groups and defending the great tomb.
While in contrast, Jaune was a tactical genius when commanding armies against enemies of the guild or fighting alone.
The blonde man was a solo player, not that he didn't join guilds because he certainly was in a guild aka Ainz Ooal Gown, no Jaune Arc was a lone wolf when playing the game primarily because with his humanoid looks which made him less likely to be attacked by humans or humanoid players but if he did, jaune's divine based magic build made him an absolute threat against a lot of these players since quite a lot possessed high negative karma value but to neutral or good players, they still get demolished.
Jaune was a powerful foe in terms of divine magic and destruction magic especially since outside of the normal spells learned which counted to his max number of spells, divine or faith based spells were ones that didn't get counted due to the blonde angel's racial skill as a seraph.
"Albedo and Shalltear will be needed for my protection, if need to I can summon some angels for additional protection but I would feel safe with them" Jaune requested the named Ultimate Shield and Ultimate Spear of the guild, they were easier to handle in terms of combat since the known thirsty succubus had the highest defense stat of all the NPCs with the resident vampire having the highest overall stats out of all the NPCs.
They made some of the best fighters in times of invasion, too bad the invasion force only managed to reach the eighth floor.
The blonde man was actually excited to fight against the invaders only to learn that they were defeated two floors early so that was a disappointment for the blonde angel.
Momonga gave a nod to him "Good choice Jaune, and good luck with the investigation. If you find anything then message it back to us" The skeleton said.
Jaune gave a nod as he turned around "It will be fine Momonga, not like I can't handle it. Tell Albedo and Shalltear to meet me at the site"
"Understood, Just be careful...I'd rather not hear Buku's constant complaints that I don't worry enough about everyone's safety" Momonga gave a tired chuckle along with Jaune as both knew very well that Bukubukuchagama always worried for everyone even Touch Me, though he wouldn't need it since he was considered the strongest warrior of the guild.
Being a world champion was like that.
Jaune gave a small smile to the bony creature before looking at the other stadium's occupant "Demiurge?" The angel called out to the mischievous demon.
The creature twitches into action at his name being called by another supreme being "Yes Lord Jaune?" The glasses demon spoke up as he mentally prepped to do the blonde man's bidding.
"Get a few of the maids to start cleaning my room, I'll be exhausted and needing a nap when I return" Jaune said.
Demiurge looked down to turn to a new page to write down his orders from the man "Understood, Lord Jaune, it will be done before you return" The suited creature responded to the order with his usual pleasing grin.
Jaune nodded then started to raise his right hand where five separate rings were located and was about to utilize the embedded skill from one of them until Momonga raised his hand in a rush.
"Wait! Jaune I need to ask you for something first!" Momonga spoke out in a hurry, Jaune slowly lowered his hand showing that he was willing to listen to his friends request, Momonga coughed into his hand, not sure if that was needed, then spoke up "Before you leave, I need you to utilize one of your class skills to see if it's power has also transferred with us, as you've seen earlier, I can access my tier magic and I got Touch Me to utilize one of his class skills so i want to know if we can rely on our racial abilities as well"
Jaune raised an eyebrow at the request but also wondered if he could access some of his racial skills, if he could then Jaune would be unchanged since outside of his ten rings, Jaune focused entirely on his racial and job skills along with his divine magic 'Hm, I'm curious to see if I could do it too so I don't need to worry if I'm weakened or not' "Fine, Any particularly skill you want or dealer's choice?"
"Dealer's Choice" Momonga said as he didn't care what racial ability Jaune would use to test.
Jaune seemed to nod then looked down as he started to think what sort of skill should he use, quite a few were incredibly dangerous to Momonga and to Demiurge so they run the risk of being extremely hurt so that cuts out over half the usable skills and the passive running skills aren't reliable for the test which leaves only a few to decide from.
"Summon Low Tier Angel: Principality Observation" Jaune casted one of the few summoning skills granted to his race.
A creature is summoned in a flash of brilliant blue, This angel is embodied in armor with a long robe covering up its legs.
It wields a huge mace made of divine power and equips a round shield with an image of the sun on its left arm, the Angel has four wings instead of two as seen with a lower tier of angel called Archangel Flame.
Momonga admired the floating angel wielding its golden colored hammer "Incredible, I can feel the angel's holy presence from here. And it's a skill born angel rather then formed from magic so it's power and level is based on Jaune's racial levels rather then the set level when used with magic thus making skill based summons superior to magic ones, almost akin to pop monsters summoned by books"
Demiurge also kept an eye on the hovering angel also feeling the very power it emanated, the demon had remembered his creator talking to himself about the power of a skill summoning being a more pain in the ass to fight then magical summons "Indeed, If I were to fight it then it would prove to be quite the opponent that I feel that I wouldn't be confident in obtaining victory"
Jaune quickly dispelled the angel with ease "Well I guess that all of our abilities had transferred with us. Anyway, I need to get going now, don't forget to inform Albedo and Shalltear of their assignment" Jaune said then raising his right hand once more before disappearing into a flash of blue light, leaving the area with the teleportation skill from the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown, one of ten rings that Jaune had on his hands.
-Location: 4 Miles North of the Great Tomb of Nazarick-
A blonde man suddenly appears in a grassy field in a flash of blue several miles north of the subterranean guild base.
Jaune breathed in the fresh air of the new world then exhaling with ease, closing his blue eyes as to think to himself of his situation 'The air is cleaner here so I guess this world isn't as industrially built as my old world, that's good then, the inhabitants if any aren't choking on their own filth' Jaune's face contorted into irritation then opening his eyes showcasing a brief moment of rage then calming down as his shoves his hand back into a spiraling black portal to regrab the flask of infinite whiskey.
The angel takes a sip of the alcohol as he starts to walk across the field while thinking about everything other than his assigned task to investigate an excavation site 'Ok, Let's clarify; I have my magic which after seeing Momonga do it, I have my racial skills but until I can gain a far clearer picture, I need to stay away from quite a few of my high tier skills like my Prismatic Beam, Holy Gift and especially my Permanency skill at least until the picture is clear and an objective has been made'.
Jaune stopped as he had thoughtlessly walked quite a while until he reached what appeared to be a massive dig site, the blonde man looked into the hole to find high tech digging vehicles, forklifts, a few cars of various models, several shipping containers that is filled to the brim with crystals of numerous colors, a massive modern like building in the middle that the blonde man instantly figured was the main dig site headquarters with the last point of interest being a major hole doing deeper into the planet's crust.
'Ok, modern machinery indicates that this world is more advanced, possibly as advanced as earth perhaps even more? Why are those shipping containers filled with bright colored crystals? That doesn't seem practical at all, what would be the point of this amount of precious jewels? Are they cheaper here due to the plentiful amount? I need to get a closer look and also examine the main building before taking a look inside the cave to see if we can restart the mining process for metals and jewels, at least then we don't need to rely on the treasury this early one' Jaune thinks to himself about his plan to investigate however he stopped when he felt a presence behind him and a surge of magical energy.
The Angel Caster turned his head towards a spiral black portal that is formed from the magic spell 'Gate' which allows for group travel, Gate is a highly sought spell since it's the highest tier in teleportation and gaining it as a spell is considered a great achievement while many others who aren't mages settle with trying to obtain such a spell from magical scrolls, items from Yggdrasil.
A figure passed through the portal which was coated in full plated black female armor and wielding a pitch black great battle axe, she had a helmet on to cover her facial features but the horns and glowing yellow eyes were a dead give away to who they belonged to.
Albedo, a woman who was built to be the supervisor to the floor guardians as an overseer.
The Succubus Woman was the perfect defender as hardly most could penetrate her defenses or fail as they tried.
The pitch black armored succubus bowed slightly and placed her left free fist onto her right breast plate as to greet someone far above her position "I apologize for my lateness Lord Jaune, if you wish for punishment then I will humbly accept when we return" she exclaimed though shook slightly what Jaune could very well see was excitement.
Jaune had read through the floor guardians backgrounds as a way to pass time when a scheduled raid was about to happen and everyone was getting situated, he knew Albedo would be the one to gain pleasure through punishments "No, it's fine Albedo, I got here just now myself but is Shalltear with you?"
"Yes Milord! Right here!" A secondary voice called out as a second figure comes through the portal before said portal.
The second figure was shorter than Albedo but she was wearing crimson red armor with two pairs on the back, the woman was carrying a sleek red lance with what looked like a container compartment.
The spuit lance was a divine rarity item that the girl's, Shalltear as her name is, creator had given her which allows the vampire woman to obtain HP from every successful hit, it was a terrifying weapon when fighting against melee warriors who has no choice but to fight up close.
The woman's face, since it wasn't hidden from a faceplate helmet, was a traditional knight's helmet that exposed her face. It was pale, really really pale, almost pure white with a pair of crimson red slit eyes best given to a vampire.
Shalltear was indeed very beautiful but her beauty is a mere observation from the blonde man and wouldn't dare try to make a move because he knew he would get killed from a combo of one pissed off slime woman and two equally pissed off guild friends.
"Good, you both arrived. Now I'll recap the mission parameters, we are to investigate the dig site and if it's in good condition then there's a possibility that we may be able to restart the mining process to bring back valuable materials for Nazarick, the main priority of the investigation is to learn of our location and any possible threats. Are we clear?" Jaune informed them of what they would be doing on the site.
"Understood My Lord" Albedo responded.
"Of course Lord Jaune" Shalltear also responded, Jaune giving a nod to both of them before turning his back to the two powerful NPCs and taking a swig of his demonic pentagram flask.
"Good, let's get going. I want to return before dinner" Jaune exclaimed before the three descended down into the rocky den.
The three splits up to better cover ground and to see if anything was left behind by whoever began the mining operation, The blonde hoodie man was located in front of the open shipping container trying to get a closer look at the jewels which wasn't traditional gems like rubies or diamonds but neon colored crystals.
The angelic caster grabs one of the glowing crystals to get a closer look at them 'Such a strange item, it looks like they are just glowing crystals but I can sense the power contained, like sealing crystals but where have I seen these crystal types before? They look like they came from Yggdrasil but at the same time, they feel unnatural even in terms of magic so maybe I should have Shalltear take a large helping of these crystals for Momonga to experiment with to see what type of item we are dealing with and if usable, how we can use them for the guild's benefit'
As Jaune was thinking about the prospects of the glowing crystals, he turned to start walking to the main building though he looked over to the right to see what the girls were doing.
Albedo was located close to the massive dug in hole while rummaging through the numerous crates, throwing out mining equipment, lamps, mysterious liquid canisters that Jaune felt power from and oil didn't grant that type of reaction so the blonde man looked uneasy that if the succubus knight is gonna accidentally cause an explosive chain reaction with how rough she's handling the explosive material.
Jaune's blue eyes landed onto Shalltear who was half a body deep into a Zentaro Model car after ripping off the driver's door which is now located on the ground as if a bear just torn through it, not an untrue comparison given the red suited woman's rep after all.
Now returning back to his intended action, Jaune walks up to the main door to the HQ and tries to open it only to feel the door handle click indicating that it was locked 'Ok, this gives a new theory. Someone either locked it before leaving the last time but that doesn't make sense on leaving all this heavy machinery and the crystals so the only possible explanation is that the mines were attacked while it was still in use which meant someone or people locked themselves inside the building as a form of protection' That theory was far more possible but that still didn't settle the blonde angel down at all.
Meaning the mines were in a position of constant threat which also means conjuring a force of either undead or angelic for protection purposes in addition to an undead labor force for mining "This is starting to give me a heada-" Jaune mutters to himself before a loud booming noise is heard at the other end of the dig site.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!*
Jaune hastily turned around while a whitish aura began to surround himself in prep for a battle, it was the Hope Aura V Skill which allowed the user to gain major buffs to all stats, including resistances, while also slowly regenerates the health of any being in the vicinity and automatically dispels low to mid tier malignant effects for a duration of 30 Minutes with a cool down of an hour.
The cause of the explosion was that Albedo who smashed into a crate had pulled out a red colored jerry can and tossed it towards the mine's opening however it exploded in a blast of fire once it made contact with the ground for whatever reason "Sorry!"
The black knight woman shouted as her glowing yellow dots looked over to Jaune to which the blonde man just stared in annoyance as his white aura disappeared indicating early release.
Jaune turned his attention back to the door returning back to his original thoughts 'No then, how to open this door, Shit, I could use the All Lock Opening Chime item in my item box but it's a one use item and I don't believe I can repurchase it from the cash item shop' The angelic caster kneeled down to the locked handle getting a closer look to it.
"Ah Ha! Items up for looting!" A loud noise is heard prompting the blonde man to look over to find Shalltear getting out of the car holding up what looked like a very beautiful and expensive gold diamond ring "Lord Jaune! May I take this ring?" She called for the holy caster.
Jaune raised an eyebrow unsure of what the vampiric lance woman needed a diamond ring for, possibly just to have via right looting "Very well! so long as you don't loot anything that isn't critical to the investigation or brings danger to our home!" He shouted to the vampire woman.
Shalltear gave a grin before returning to looting which she walked over to another car of a model that Jaune doesn't know, ripping off the door to the driver's side like she has done to the Zentaro.
Again, returning to the locked door, Jaune starts thinking of ways to open the door because a quick look at it while they were descending earlier produced no visuals of windows so a lot of this is starting to showcase that the blonde caster may need to use his one use item.
"Damn it all, well no point bitching about it because I had to use it, I got the chime item because I wanted an easy time picking lots but I should've had the foresight to buy a dozen of them at the time instead of one" Jaune shoves his hand back into a spiral black portal and pulled out a hand held bell with a green tint, this was the Chime of Opening, a cash item that allows one to open a locked door or container that isn't a players item box or inventory but it's only one use and will disappear after use.
*Ring* *Ring*
The blonde man rang the bell which pulsates in a glowing green energy that sprung forth from the bell and hitting the door with a subtle 'click' hearing meaning that it was opened from the mystical energy, the bell itself soon turned into sand and fell the ground after its use which showed that its flavor text as a one use item.
The magic caster gets off his one knee to push open the door which it does with no clicking stopping him, the door opens as intended showcasing a rather dusty looking office area with a strangely familiar gear like insignia that also has a strange staff on it 'That banner looks familiar, why does it seem like i've seen it before' Jaune thought to himself as he entered the room entirely.
Numerous desks were around with numerous papers scattered, turned off computers that again looked familiar yet it didn't appear the same back on earth so they were different models then in earth, Jaune walked slowly getting a feel of the area until he witnessed four bleach white skeletons huddled in the corner with no hint of recent decay.
'Hmm, those skeletons look like they've been there for years so how long has this site remained untouched? And for how long because I find it hard to believe no one would come around after the attack to either restart the project or strip the place of its metals and crystals' Jaune thinks to himself before walking towards the back of the temp base to look at the foreman's desk.
As with the other desks, papers is located all over the desk haphazardly like someone was trying to leave in an immediate hurry which would contribute to a sudden attack but one piece of paper had showcased the date, Jaune grabs the paper to see the worlds recorded date '2065' which again felt highly familiar to the blonde caster but he couldn't place the date with anything in his memory especially since Yggdrasil was shut down in 2138AD.
The blue eyed man snapped his eyes towards behind the desk where an old fax machine was located with a piece of paper on it, so he walked around the desk to reach the paper and started reading it.
'Dear, Foreman of Site #212
'We have lost the Human-Faunus War, those disgusting animals had beaten us and quite handedly too so we are forced to give them Menagerie so when you receive this fax, you are to move all the dust that you have mind so far, evacuate all Atlasian personnel from the site and destroy the mines so we don't allow the Faunus to have access to it.
'Extreme as it may be, The Council refuses to accept that we had lost to them, Vale, Mistral and Vacuo may accept their loss but we of Atlas refuses to allow those savages to claim such victory so for the next few months before the elections in 2026.
'Signed, General Gold'
Jaune gripped the paper nearly crumbling it from his increasing strength before slowly letting his enhanced strength to go then chuckled slight speaking quietly to himself "It's no wonder 2065 sounded very very familiar, This site was being hosted by the first collaboration with the Atlas Military and the SDC 10 years prior of the Human-Faunus War, the village of Demi Humans is the main settlement of Menagerie and the most possible theory was that Grimm attacked the sight some time.
However there were rumors that a dig site somewhere was attacked by a large war party of Grimm, monsters formed from negativity.
Jaune sighed as he ran his right hand through his hair groaning slightly "Ughhh, I'm not drunk enough to deal with this bullshit.."
*BOOOM*
Another explosion was heard which the blonde man was fully ready to ignore considering what had happened a sometime prior only to hear "By the gods!! What is that!?" Now that sounded like something the Angelic Caster should look into.
Jaune swiftly turned and run out of the building to see Albedo get launched into the rocky side, embedded into it like a piece of modern art while Shalltear slashed the blunt end of her lance against a wooden club.
The creature wielding the wooden club was vastly physically superior, if those muscles weren't for show, the vampiric princess groaned as she got knocked backwards sending her skidding back several meters from the heavy clash.
Jaune took an observing gaze of the creature, it was humanoid in nature which was clear enough but it's skin was pitch black though it was bulging with strong muscles that would get Jaune to feel self conscious of his physique if it wasn't for the fact that is girlfriend constantly said that she would still love him even if he had a paper bag over his head.
The creature's head was obviously featureless except for the sole glowing yellow that seemed to pierce into the soul of the gazer.
This was called a Grotesque Titan, an A-Class Grimm that requires a team of huntsman and huntresses to take out due to the creatures humanoid physique and it's uncanny ability to learn during battle, it's one of the more dangerous Grimm that roams the world of remnant.
Jaune groaned a bit "Home Sweet Home..." he said, obviously displeased.
-Location: Underneath Menagerie, White Fang Main HQ, Throne of the High Leader-
Within a village populated by Demi Human Creatures called 'Faunus' though more appropriately underneath the major continental settlement is where an extremist cell of faunus named 'The White Fang' was located.
Inside what looked like an old royalistic throne room is where a woman with mocha dark skin, her outfit consisted of a skin tight uniform with red like sashes.
The woman's cat-like ears flattened when she stared down at a picture of what looked like a very well kept crypt yet her forces, The White Fang, would've notified her of the crypt's existence.
Even Ghira Belladonna, former leader of the white fang and the current governor of Menagerie, would've noticed that some crypt was off in the distance miles away from the village.
"Is this right?" Sienna said as her golden eyes moved upwards to stare at the two men both dressed similarly like herself, however both having hoods with dog-like ears poking through them.
"Yes, our scouts found this crypt this morning and there is no possible explanation on how it got there because we referenced this to scouting photos dating back ten years and no instance where this building was located so we are entirely unsure of how it got there but my brother thinks it's an Atlas plot to set up a base but that's an idiotic idea so we brought this to you instead of sending a war party out there" The male on the right explained the situation in the photo and possible ideas to address it.
Sienna Khan looked at the photo even deeper to see if it would reveal any information not already present before signing "For the meantime, keep watch of the crypt, if people are going in and out of it then inform Ghira about it and raise the villages alert since there isn't much we can do with this because that bitch Kali is somehow going to spin this saying we didn't cover all our bases and make us look like incompetent"
The brothers gave a nod before walking away from the throne and table, Sienna sighed as she slumped over looking down at the photo curious "This crypts appearance may be some bad omen, what are the odds of it appearing after Adam contacted me with a proposal from some woman named Cinder Fall" She sighed obviously worn out from everything.
-Location: Vale, Beacon Academy, Headmasters Office-
"Are you serious Qrow? You have to be absolutely sure because I'm not gambling the Vytal Treaty Accord and international sovereignty based on a hunch" A man with silver hair, unique black shades and a full piece green suit was sitting behind a clear glass desk while the office itself was made to appear as the inside of a clock tower with an edgy theme of 'Time has no meaning to me', a lot of the students of beacon often joke about that much to the amusement of the current headmaster.
The second figure was an older man, no older than the silver man, in a grey like shirt with a crimson red tattered cape attached, his pants was deep black and a retracted great sword attached to his back hip "Yes Ozzy, my informant in Menagerie had told me about the sudden appearance of what looked like a crypt 10 miles north of the Menagerie Main Settlement, I was planning on scouting it out myself since I've gotten wind but-" The man named Qrow stopped talking as he pulled out another physical photo and placed it onto the mans clear glass desk.
The Photo is rather blurry due to the camera work being shoddy due to the contents but what the silver haired headmaster could see was four, no five undead humanoid skeletons standing around with a basic looking shield and sword combo.
"At first when I talked to him, I was incredibly skeptical about the legitimacy of the photos or even the concept of reanimated skeletons but he reassured that it was real and this never happened even when Menagerie first settled there 40 years ago, I'm not sure if this is Salem's work or not" Qrow gave his thoughts on the new mysterious crypt sightings and the knowledge that skeletons were coming back to life.
Ozpin groans as he took off his glasses to rub his face as this coming up now on top of the dust robberies and the information that Salem was making her move once again was taking a toll again "No I think this is a completely separate matter, Salem while powerful in her magic, she was never one for necromancy especially now since she had Grimm to do her bidding instead of the dead so learning to raise the dead is counter productive"
Qrow seemed to nod slightly to the man who would know his own mortal enemy/ex-wife the most "Right, but should we look into this? It can't be a coincidence especially with everything happening on now"
"Unfortunately, we will have to classify this event as circumstantial because the dust robberies and White Fang terrorist attacks are happening here in Vale, not out in Menagerie so the council won't allow us to drop some huntsman to investigate, it's going to violate Menagerie's independent sovereignty" Ozpin said as he returned his glass back onto his face.
"Besides Qrow, we must keep our attention on the homefront then abroad, Salem's pawns are here, not over there" The old wizard said.
-Location: Atlas, General Ironwood's Office-
Inside what appears to be a futuristic looking office of a high ranking military individual, inside the office is where an older man wearing a pure white militant uniform was typing away on a dust top computer with 100 characters per minute but he stopped when the door to his office opened suddenly.
Another person walks into the room clothed with a very similar uniform that the man was wearing though fitted for a smaller and younger woman with her white hair tied into a bun "General Ironwood, Specialist Schnee reported in!" She announced herself and gave a salute with her free right hand.
"At ease, something must've come up if you didn't knock on the door as you usually do. What happened?" The General spoke as his specialist always knocked on his door to ask for permission but to barge in suddenly only happens when something REALLY concerning has occurred.
"It's something that needs to be looked into sir, we've done an environmental sweep of the ocean near Menagerie to find certain aquatic grimm for extermination but they took a photo of something else that seemed highly concerning" The schnee soldier explained then handing a file from underneath her left arm towards the military general.
Ironwood took the file swiftly then looked inside its contents which were numerous photos containing walking undead skeletons standing on the beaches, two were gutting a Beowulf with ease, but overall they are remaining in position in a guard like way.
One of the photos also contained the sight of a white tinted crypt that suddenly appeared while the next photo was the exact same place yet it had no crypt and the photo was taken the night before "This is quite odd, I don't believe the Faunus on Menagerie could have done this nor is there a semblance that is capable of conjuring or controlling the dead" Ironwood gave his thoughts on the photos.
"Should we do something sir? The coincidence of this happening alongside the dust robberies and White Fang attacks in vale is far too closely connected" The woman said.
The General stroked his chin lightly as while he looked at this from a logical standpoint, he could send a few of the ace ops to investigate the dead and the crypt but that would cause an international incident and violate Menagerie independent sovereignty, unless they had probable cause to send them.
Until a thought occurs of the General "Specialist Schnee, didn't Atlas have a mining collaboration operation on Menagerie with the SDC 10 Years before the Human-Faunus War?" James asked Winter Schnee which she looked down to think then nodded.
"Yes sir, My grandfather was in charge of the operation overseas but with the end of the Human-Faunus War, a missive was sent to them to recall them before we gave the continent to the Faunus Army however we've received none of the workers or minors nor the final shipment of dust that they were mining for" Winter answered ironwoods question.
James seemed to nod at her then spoke up for his possible plan "Well, we can probably use that argument to send in the Ace-Ops for investigation, we would only need to give our reason to the Menagerie Governor before we can conduct the investigation. Send the orders to Specialist Ebi and have him and his squad prep for deployment" James gave his orders to which Winter nodded then swiftly turned and left the office.
James leaned back into his seat muttering "Could Salem be making her move?.."
——
Now someone might point out an inconsistency on the amount of spells that Jaune has and this was before I found this out after intense and deep research.
Jaunes racial class has the capacity to allow Jaune to learn, in theory, an infinite amount of divine based spells which doesn't count towards his total spell list so essentially he could have dozens of divine spells and it wouldn't count to his total max spells learned.
So that was fun to learn :D
