Ch 254: Rocke Torchwick
"So, am I gonna meet my new godson anytime soon?" Kyra asks Roman
"Sure, let's head downstairs. we plan on staying here in Menagerie from now on, they know I work for Stark industries the last thing I want is atlas soldiers storming my home. I may be strong enough to take on a battalion of paladins, but you know how hard it is to protect the people you love." Roman says
"True although I can defend them when I started to think of kids I made this I decided to move here and start building this country as a central power," Kyra says
"Right that somehow upset the balance," Roman says
"To think Cardin managed to live and get to Atlas..." Kyra says as they walk into the elevator.
"Right, I tried my hardest to hinder him," Jarvis says over the speakers.
"So, I guess the atlas council started preparing for war ever since I embarrassed them in the fall of Vale," Kyra says having shut down their robots. Guess they didn't know they were hacked and compromised beforehand.
"That was a good job," Roman says remembering getting a laugh out of Kyra interrupting Cinder.
"... Jarvis! find emerald and Mercury!" Kyra shouts wanting to see if they have anything to do with this.
"Right, I will check on all of our old enemies," Jarvis says
The elevator door opens.
"Neo, How are you doing?" Kyra asks the woman who is still rather short sadly.
"I'm doing great," Neo says holding a toddler
"So is this him?" Kyra asks
"Meet Rocke," Neo says
"Are all of your kids going to be named after icecream?" Kyra asks
"You can't blame me my naming sense is horrible," Torchwick says
"So I don't mean to be rude but neither of you has aged a day in the past few years," Kyra says
"Ah, right I'm like Ban, and Neo well..." Roman says before he opens a hidden spot on his cane and a small red stone is seen.
"Hmm, usually this thing is made of either a ton of blood and vitality or pure souls, yet this one is pure magic. That's quite interesting." Kyra says looking at the philosopher's stone.
"Yep, I was gonna offer you a chance to join my familia because that's how my wives haven't aged." Kyra says
"Really? I thought that just made their growth easier and didn't stop them from aging." Roman says having seen danmachi.
"Where is Caramel?" Kyra asks
"Harriet popped in and grabbed her." Roman says
"Quite literally," Neo says with a nod
Kyra just sighs "I will talk to her about etiquette when it comes to teleporting... I wonder how she knew Caramel was here.
"I found Mercury and Emerald, they seemed to have settled down in Vacuo and had a family. Adam Taurus is still dead but he's listed as missing in police data servers, Arthur Watts is still at large. Also ma'am the project is done." Jarvis says
"Great and the power armor?" Kyra asks
"The factory is producing them," Jarvis says
"Great select a few mechanically inclined pilots for them along with some skilled ones. Find some people who can be trained to fly verta birds." Kyra says wanting some people in their force who can repair them while having some people who are skilled in them to fight.
"What's going on?" Roman asks
"Prydwin," Kyra says
"No way, that's awesome!" Roman shouts
"We need something to transport the invasion force," Kyra says knowing they will need to end atlas.
"Ma'am the strategic bombings have been completed and you should have a few years to get our forces ready," Jarvis says
"It's not weapons we are lacking but people qualified to use them," Kyra says wanting soldiers to fight rather than using hunters. Hunters are different and needed to defend the country from Grimm and help the Commission on the other side of the portal. They are a specialized force and are worth too much to lose to robots.
"Jarvis you said we have 750 F-22s how many pilots?" Kyra asks
"500 on reserve," Jarvis says
"Atlas is openly preparing for war we might as well do the same," Kyra says sadly
