A Second Chance In Remnant

After several hours I finally finished the other weapon I have been planning to make. It was a polearm known as a glaive but there are some differences to it. For starters, the handle was 5 feet in length and had a wide guard from one end to the other that divide the handle into 3 sections. This made the glaive at least 2 to 3 times heavier than it already is and each of the sections has a long trigger equipped to it.

While the weight would take some getting used to I was pleased with it because it had 3 other forms it could transform into and it was durable enough to fully withstand my semblance Echo Tremor. I activated its first transformation and the guard expanded making it turn into a riot shield allowing me to use Devil Rose for range combat behind some sufficient protection. I then went to its next form the riot shield then shrunk and shifted into a massive single edge greatsword known as a horse-slayer.

While I was expecting a greatsword from the data I have analyzed, I was expecting one this large because it is large enough to cleave a horse and its rider in one fell swoop. I can't help but wonder if my use of giant weapons has anything to do with this choice from the data but I will stick with it. I switched it to its final transformation the blade went back into the guard and the opposite end of the glaive extended revealing a cannon-like extension.

While I call it a cannon it does not use any ammunition but my shockwaves rather. This is to help focus my shockwaves in a single direction but while it does that it won't extend the range of them but will make it less likely to cause friendly-fire when I am in a team or a confined space because my shockwaves are indiscriminate. I had it shift back to its glaive form and started to wonder what to call it and what I came up with was Thunderous Roar due to it being the opposite of subtle and the brutal fighting style I have in mind for it.

I decided to call it a night and asked Penny who was watching me work.

Silva: Hey Penny, ready to head home?

Penny: Certainly Silva, and might I say that weapon you made is an impressive piece of work.

Silva: Thanks.

As we head out of the weapon store the owner wished us good night as I escorted Penny back to Pietro's clinic. I yawned feeling tired and took out my scroll to see the detail Sienna sent me. As I browse through it Penny asked me.

Penny: Silva, do truly intend on helping the White Fang?

I stopped in surprise and asked in return.

Penny: All of it actually because Father installed into me some highly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e sensors for a variety of purposes.

I sighed and told her the truth without holding anything back after dragging her out of sight for privacy.

Silva: Penny, while I do have negative views on the White Fang they do some good here and there. Like freeing Faunus from slave labor which I wholeheartedly approve of and helping them out where they can even if I think they're stupid for attacking businesses that refuse to serve Faunus because ultimately those businesses are losing out in additional revenue. So to answer your question I do intend on helping them free Faunus from slavery but nothing else...

Penny looked at me with a serious expression for a few moments and asked.

Penny: Can I help?

My eyes widen in surprise but I told her deflecting her question.

Silva: Let's talk to your father first because Atlas will react negatively to the White Fang regardless of what they do...

I dropped Penny off at Pietro's and he still wasn't home so I decided to head to back to my apartment to fine-tune my weapons. Time flew by and night followed after sunset. My heavy eyes and tired body beckoned me to bed and thus I slept till morning thinking about the large scale operation that the White Fang has planned 2 months from now.

Penny POV

After Silva dropped me off at Father's clinic I looked at the teddy bear and classes Silva got me. I felt an emotion that I think is happiness but I am still new to this world Father brought me in and I still don't quite understand what it means to be a person. As I reviewed my memories of today I wonder about the organization that Silva came into contract with, the White Fang.

My data banks show me that the White Fang was originally was a peaceful organization but underwent a change a few years back to becoming terrorists. While they have done a lot of harm to people mostly racist people I think back to Silva's point of them doing some good. Father taught me to judge people by their actions, not their appearances, and while I do agree with freeing those poor Faunus from slavery I can't agree with their other actions.

I hope Father comes home soon because I am not only unsure what to do plus his sandwich is getting a little soggy.

Silva POV

After feeding Qrow again for breakfast I spent most of the fine-tuning Devil Rose and Quatro Savagery for the day because my fight with Rory is coming up soon. As I busy myself and got a call on my scroll in the afternoon. I check to see who is calling me and it was Pyrrha. I answered her call.

Silva: Hey Pyrrha what can I do for you today?

Pyrrha stayed silent for a moment or 2 and finally spoke.

Pyrrha: Can we meet in person?

Silva: Sure I will open a portal and head to you...

I hung up and took in a deep breath and readied myself as much as I could for whatever answer Pyrrha has to my bloodstained path. I felt both dread and hope as I open a portal to her and walked through it. My surroundings soon revealed the park in Argus and Pyrrha was standing waiting for me with an uncomfortable look on her face which filled me with worry. I stood before her and we stared into each other's eyes for a few moments.

Pyrrha: I've been thinking about what you told me... While I realize that with me becoming a Huntress in the future I might... Need to end another's life at one point to do my duty...

Hearing her made me a little hopeful but I waited for her to finish first.

Pyrrha: However, I can not and will not approve of what you did for whatever reason...

As I was full of fear of her answer she then said.

Pyrrha: I think we should break up...

I opened my mouth but closed it before I say something I might regret and Pyrrha continued.

Pyrrha: I'm sorry Silva but I just can't accept that you may have no other choice in the matter but I can't help but think I would have done things differently than you...

My heart feels like it was stabbed with every word she said and a rush of several emotions hit me. Sadness, sorrow, rage, despair, and several others filled me. Taking a moment to take a breath I chose my next words with a sense of finality because I know from seeing her she is decisive in this.

Silva: Goodbye Pyrrha... I love you...

Pyrrha POV

I was expecting anger may be an explanation of his actions or even some begging not end it like this... But a quiet and solemn acceptance of my decision didn't even cross my mind. As Silva left I felt that maybe I should have given him a chance instead. However, I made my choice but I can't help but wonder why my heart is in so much pain. I felt my eyes get hot and blurry then I started to cry.

I just realized that I did... No, that I still love him dearly but I can't just up and say I change my mind to him after I just broke up with him. I was more lost than I ever felt in my life at what to do next and I just let my tears flow until they stopped.

Silva POV

I am currently atop a lone mountain in Solitas as the cold froze my tears on my face. I never understood why other guys make it a big deal not to cry at all when feeling down after all it is better to let it out than to bottle it up. Bottling one's emotions is harmful both mentally and even physically so I just stay alone atop of this mountain away from people till I can sort out my emotions.

I sigh thinking about my break up with Pyrrha and a twisted part of me is glad I am in pain over but I'm no m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. The reason is for that is because is that this hurt tells me I was serious about Pyrrha and I wasn't treating my relationsh.i.p.s as a game or as not real due to me viewing a small part of this world behind a screen. As I let my emotions run their course I soon heard a growl behind me.

I looked to see a group of Beowolfs start surrounding me and I just felt pure rage because all I want right now is to be alone. I unleashed a massive shockwave in every direction destroying the creatures of Grimm. With them gone I took a seat and let out my emotions losing track of time...

( A great deal of time later.)

I was still sitting atop the mountain but I felt than before after letting everything out but I still felt sadness over the breakup. My scroll went off and I got some coordinates from Rory meaning it is time for our fight. I made a quick trip to my apartment to get ready and clean up.

It is finally time... I look over the forces I amassed during this week with a smile feeling assured in my victory. Over a hundred of the latest model of the Atlesian Knight infantry robot, several of Arthur Watts's Paladins, Spider Mines, and Turrets. As I wait for Silva to arrive Arthur came up to me and asked once again.

Arthur: So where is this so-called great warrior you have been telling me about that can give me some invaluable combat data for the Paladin project?

Rory: Don't worry he will show and you will get your data so be patient.

Arthur huffed arrogantly and walked off to check his Atlesian Paladins before Silva shows up. I invested in his project because it seemed the most practical out of the other projects. After all, his Paladins can not only be piloted but be equipped with an AI to combat large Grimm. I was looking forward to claiming Silva as my own and the fun that will soon follow.

The thought brought a smile to my lips and soon a portal opened and Silva walked through it. I look towards him and noticed that he was off for some reason but I couldn't put my finger on it... Whatever it just tilts the odds further in my favor than it already is.

Silva POV

I look over the battlefield that Rory has prepared for our fight and it looks like she spared no expense at the tin soldiers she has prepared. While my emotions are still in a bit of turmoil I made a choice not to use my semblance on a large scale to end this fight in one blow. I could have used my magic to supercharge a shockwave to destroy them in a single move. However, I felt the need to hit something, and Rory just generously provide several targets for me to vent on.

I looked over at her and asked.

Silva: Are you ready?

Rory: Ready for you to become mine and only mine.

I noticed someone come up to us and it was Arthur Watts. Watts is a tall middle-aged man with a slim build and slightly tanned skin. He has short black and gray hair as well as a thick mustache and eyebrows, and green eyes. He was wearing a heavy lab coat over a yellow turtle neck and light gray pants. I quickly used my magic to copy all his knowledge into my mind when I saw him and was pleased with what I got. With Arthur's know-how, I can further advance Lucifer's body for when I build it with Pietro. Arthur spoke out in a slightly condensing tone.

Arthur: Is this the one you have been telling me about Ms.Eis? I was expecting someone bigger with all the information you have been providing me.

Rory: Yes this is him and I suggest that you move to a safe distance so that you don't get caught up in the crossfire.

He quickly got the message and left immediately the Atlesian Knights surrounded me along with the Paladins. Rory leaped into the air away from me and was probably waiting to tire myself out before landing the finishing blow herself. I took out Thunderous Roar and had it shifted to its sword form as a Paladin charged at me. The large robot punched at me and I sidestep then sliced off its arm.

I proceed to slash at the joints of its legs bring it down and I finished it by stabbing at the c.o.c.kpit destroying its robotic pilot. The Atlesian nights opened fired on me and I switched my weapon into its riot shield form then grabbed Devil Rose. I held Devil Rose's trigger charging it then fired into the crowd of robots. The shot pierced through 3 Knights in the c.h.e.s.t area causing them to explode knocking down the other around them.

I charged at the ones still standing and crashed into them with my shield then shifted my weapon into its glaive form. I one fell swoop I beheaded 5 of the Knights making them fall and a Spider Mine came at me. Using the cannon form of Thunderous Roar I fired a focused shockwave at it causing it to explode and I fired again at the Atlesian Paladin charging in the legs making it trip. I charged at the downed robot and thrust the glaive form of my weapon into it.

Another Paladin started to fire its weapons on to me and I used the riot shield form then charged at it. I slammed into its leg knocking it back and I leaped on top of it and shield bashed the c.o.c.kpit crushing it. Using my riot shield I blocked the incoming fire from the Knights and thought to myself with a smile that I have plenty of targets left to vent on.

Arthur POV

Are you kidding me... Is my honest thought at that young man tearing through not only the Atlesian Knight bots but my Paladins as well. Seeing all my work reduced to scrap metal under that young man's offensive made me review on how to improve the Paladins against strong infantry forces. As numerous idea floats around my mind at possible modules and weaponry to include in the next redesign of my Paladin project.

I continue to observe the fight and admire the lad's ability to overcome numbers as he destroys everything in his path with impressive efficiency. I noticed that his weapon has a cannon form but no ammunition from what I have seen and yet it fires something that can destroy whatever it is pointed to. I closely observe his weapon to better understand how it works because I can't find the logic of how that cannon works.

Silva POV

I finished off the last Paladin with a thrust of my glaive and my breath was haggard from fighting off those robots and turrets. I heard someone clapping and I looked towards the source. Rory was clapping looking impressed then said amused.

Rory: My, my, you certainly do impress Darling but it is time to end this and make you mine.

Rory conjured a massive wave of ice coming at me with incredible speed for its size as it stood 20 feet tall. I took out Devil Rose and aimed at Rory behind the glacier. There is one major advantage to my new gun and that is that it is far easier to infuse my shots with my vibrations. As I fired Devil Rose my shot pierced through the ice and hit Rory on the left shoulder thanks to my sonar acting as an aiming assist.

I switched to Thunderous Roar's riot shield form and charged at the wave of ice. I run my semblance through it and slammed through the ice. I soon appeared on the other side in front of Rory much to her surprise with her shoulder bleeding. I then shifted to my weapons sword form and slashed her. Rory leaped away from me and used her sword-whip in its whip form to hit me. I raised my weapon overhead and hit the ground causing dust to rise and limit visibility.

Still able to see Rory just fine with my sonar I hit her with my sword and sent her flying. Causing her aura to break under my assault. I walked over to her and said.

Silva: Do you yield Rory...

Rory had a look of unwillingness on her face but she sighed and replied looking defeated.

Rory: I yield.

I felt relieved that she gave up and didn't push the matter. I then asked her.

Silva: Do you remember what I get if I win?

Rory: Name it...

I took in a deep breath and told her what I wanted.

Silva: Rory Eis become mine... And I don't mean I won't give up my other relationsh.i.p.s for you and you need to accept that I will have multiply women in my life.

Rory just looked at me with a blank look and I waved my hand in front of her to get her back to reality. She snapped out of her stupor and replied with an annoyed look.

Rory: Fine... However, I won't approve of just any girl you hear me otherwise we will have a problem.

I sighed thinking that this the best I can hope for now until I can change her mind.
