The Jaune Multiverse

20: Jaune the Ultimate Lifeform 1

Blake: is that how you met my dad?

John: yes I taught the Faunus forces guerrilla tactics to overcome larger armies during the Faunus Wars.

Ghira: I remember those days, you are a great teacher old friend.

John: no I'm not I couldn't even teach my son.

Cath: there there.

As she pats his back

Winter: don't you mean a puppet? By the way we're going if this Relic is going to create a living thing by my understanding it must go through the process of growth that we all are subjected too.

He puts a hand on her shoulder

Ironwood: I know what your thinking, but if it's one life to save thousands then I'll be gladly be the monster and take that life. No matter what it takes we will protect Atlas.

Winter: we are not gods to decide who lives or dies, General even if we are leaders we can't just decide to condemn someone to death without a chance.

Qrow: can't believe this but I agree with Ice Queen here Jimmy, we are not Judge, Jury and Executioner.

Tyrian: speak for yourself you dusty old bird.

Qrow and Clover glared at him for some reason

He turns and moves towards the landing pad as a familiar old man steps out

Ironwood: Pietro.....

Pietro: Ironwood, this is not right. We have no right to be acting like gods!

Ironwood: I'm not trying to be like them, after the stories Ozpin shared about them being manipulators I would rather be myself.

Let's proceed to the vault, the Winter Maiden is on her way there with her escorts.

Pietro: if I may ask why did you take miss Schnee with you?

Ironwood: I'm not gonna be around forever.

Pietro: your grooming her to be your successor?

Winter: I pass.

Whitley: that was fast.

Willow: with what this Alternate version of James did it's a dumb decision no to pass.

Klein: well said.

Ironwood just nods as Pietro was secretly disgusted he's taking the lives of children and young ones to ensure Atlas security?

If he's willing to create child soldiers there's no reason to doubt that life doesn't weigh anything to him as long as Atlas' future is secure

Oobleck: good man that Polendina.

Watts: tch!

Later

Atlas Relic Vault

Ironwood: if you would kindly miss.

Winter Maiden: yes sir.

She then opens the vault as she was dismissed and He, Winter and Pietro enters

Winter: that staff is the reason why Atlas is floating?

Ironwood: yes....but let's get down to business.

He touched the staff as a spirit was released and he greets them

Ambrose: greetings, what is it that you require of me?

Ironwood: I wish to make the Ultimate Lifeform.
