The King of Steel (RWBY/ Ozpin SI): Chapter 16
🕑 Added 2025-03-20 08:14:42 +0000 UTCSienna Khan, the leader of the White Fang, kneeled on the floor and trembled uncontrollably along with the rest of her fellow subordinates as the woman sitting on the throne watched them with amusement.
Truly, the Faunus woman had made a terrible mistake when she joined hands with Tyrian Callows and Arthur Watts when they approached her with a deal to get rid of Ozpin.
It was only later on, as the months went by, did she realized the true extent of her new patron’s power.
A Queen of Grimm, destruction incarnate, the enemy of all life on this planet.
And Sienna had chosen to serve such a creature.
Truly, Sienna had made the biggest mistake of her life.
Tyrian Callows, the ever loyal dog of the Queen, bowed reverently and spoke up in the silence.
“My Goddess! How was your trip to Vale? Did you meet the parasite?”
For a split second, the shadows lengthened, and the howls of countless Grimm rang out in the air, expressing the rage of their queen, before everything returned to normal.
Tyrian immediately realized the error he had made and swiftly shut up as Salem glared at him lightly.
“The trip was indeed worthwhile, Tyrian, but there is one thing that you and the rest must learn.”
The range was instantly replaced with profound love and deep hatred of such intensity that Sienna could not help but feel stunned.
Given the way her fellow servants were reacting, she was not the only one who felt that way.
“You all will not call him a parasite any longer, because that is no longer his identity.”
Her smile stretched into a loving and hate-filled grin.
“The abomination of the Gods is gone. What we now face is the Emerald Wizard in his truest form. And we will face defeat if we are not careful from now on.”
Salem walked towards the windows of her castle in this land of darkness, watching the pools of Grimm produce the nightmarish monsters of her design at an accelerated rate.
“Tyrian, Scrap all out plots and indirect methods of control. Contact all our loyal subordinates across the kingdoms, and tell them to start destabilizing the mortal realm in any way possible. Anyone who fails to comply must die.”
“Your wish be done, my goddess!”
The insane man grinned and bowed before shooting out of the room at his full speed, salivating at the thought of a slaughter.
“Dr. Watts, I want as many Bullheads and Airships as you can get. Either buy them straight out, highjack them, steal them, I don’t care. I want a fleet of those things ready to transport my Grimm into the cities when they are ready. Also, you said you have backdoor access to the CCT network. Hack into those things and plunge the kingdoms into a communications blackout.”
She chuckled a little bit before speaking again.
“Knowing my husband and his resourcefulness, he will find a way to reverse any damage you do to the CCT very quickly, but it will still buy us time.”
“Get in contact with your agents in the Kingdoms and see what dear Ozma is up to. If you find any avenue to disrupt his work, do it.”
“Of course, my Queen.”
Arthur Watts walked out excitedly, feeling thrilled at the prospect of such challenging work levelled against him as a test of his intelligence by his Queen.
“Sienna”
Sienna Khan trembled as those baleful, beastly eyes stared at her.
Being the coward she was, she could do nothing but bow in deference as she was called out.
“Gather as many recruits as you can for the White Fang. I want your organization to become a proper military force within a year or two at most. When we begin our attack properly, your people will be the ones to smuggle our fleet of Grimm into the cities.”
“In the meanwhile, I want your people to act as our eyes and ears within the kingdoms. Any strange movement, any shipment larger than usual, any unmarked cargo. Anything out of the ordinary occurs, especially in Vale and near my Husband’s seat of power, I want to know about it.”
“Understood, my Queen.”
“Good. Get to it.”
Sienna quickly fled the room, terror and regret filling her very being as she could do nothing but watch as her prized organization that should have worked towards the good of all Faunus had now been turned into a glorified mercenary group.
With all the subordinates dismissed, the Queen of Grimm manifested a blood-red drink in her hands as she watched through the windows, chuckling to herself.
“Soon, my dear Ozma, I will bring you down along with your precious humans and faunus. But don’t worry. I won’t kill you this time around. No, I will make you watch as I use the relics to call those false gods and have them destroy us, body and soul. Only then can we finally be freed from our curse.”
“This, I promise you, my love.”
