Another Dimension Traveler - Volume 1 Chapter 125 125
(Leon POV)
The dance was pretty good. I also met Penny who’s with Ironwood. Me and Ruby tried to ask her to dance but the guards block us. Penny beg Ironwood to dance and he eventually gave in. Me, Ruby and Penny were having fun in the dance floor.
Ruby: “I need some fresh air. It feels stuffy in here. Be back in a sec.”
So me and Penny are all alone.
Leon: “How are you and your father?”
Penny: “I’m doing excellent except going to the bathroom. These human bodily fluids are a hassle sometimes.”
Leon: “Yeah, you’ll get used to it eventually.”
Penny: “No news about my father but the artificial organ are going smoothly. Nothing seems to be out of order for now.”
Leon: “Good. By the way, what were you and Ruby talk about after you left me with Weiss the other day?”
Penny: “Well, Ruby is my best friend so I told her all about me. That I’m a robot that turns into a human.”
Leon: “Did you tell her about me and how I help you turn into a human?”
Penny: “Nope, just the part turning a robot into human. I didn’t tell her about you involving the process.”
Leon: “Well I don’t really mind her telling about it.”
Penny: “Father said it wouldn’t be very wise to do that.”
I shrug and I saw Ozpin, Glynda and Ironwood at the distance. They are laughing at something until Ironwood saw me looking at him and then he looks at me and examines me. Then he just goes back chatting with the two.
Leon: “Alright. Does Ironwood know about me?”
Penny: “Yes. Father has no choice but to tell him about you. I’m sorry.”
Leon: “Don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter that he knows.”
What he gonna do? Imprison and dissect me? Well he can try.
Penny: “I better get going. It’s getting dark and father might be getting worried.”
Leon: “Alright. See yah Penny.”
Penny kiss on my face cheek and waves goodbye. I touch my face cheek and look at her. Does she have feelings for me? Nah, don’t want to assume anything. I walk outside and breathe the fresh air. I look around and I don’t see Ruby anywhere.
Leon: “Isn’t this the part where she’s going to fight Cinder?”
I teleport and disappear. I then reappear at the CCTS tower and saw Ruby taking her weapon from a pod.
Leon: “Ruby, what are you doing?”
Ruby: “Leon! I just saw someone in a black suit and went inside the tower. We need to investigate it.”
I nod and we dash towards the entrance. We saw lot of unconscious guards on the floor and we run towards the elevator. While inside the elevator, Ruby prepares her stance while I re-equip Beowulf. Yamato is too OP and I don’t want to accidentally kill Cinder. The elevator door opens and no one is on the premises.
Ruby: “Hello?”
Nobody answers. Ruby struggles to walk because of her heels. Even though I already change it to more comfortable, she still struggles to walk. I was about to tell her to just take it off but Cinder came out of her hiding place.
Ruby: “Excuse me. You know it’s not a masquerade party. So why don’t you take off that-”
Ruby didn’t finish her speech and Cinder summons a barrage of ice spikes. Ruby blocked it all and I dash towards Cinder and use downward punch at her. She evades and my fist hits the ground. A large crack appears under my fist. Ruby snipes Cinder but she block it all. I was going to uppercut but she flips and summons two daggers. Ruby zooms in and tries to do a vertical slash and again Cinder evades. I stomp the ground to make an earthquake. Ruby and Cinder losses their balance. I dash towards Cinder and punch her stomach. She gasps and flew in the air. Then she summon bow and arrows and tries to shoot me with it. Ruby gets her bearings and zooms in front of me. She blocks all the arrows. Cinder lands gracefully and me and Ruby were about to attack again but we heard the elevator door opens. We look back and see Ironwood at the elevator. I look back to where Cinder is and she’s gone. I look at Ironwood and he looks grimly.
Ironwood: “What happened?”
Ruby explains what happened and Ironwood is not happy about it. Ruby was scared and I pat her head and calm her down.
Leon: “Ironwood. We need to talk about this with Ozpin.”
Ironwood startled and then nods. He makes a phone call to Ozpin and he let us leave the premises. After we go out the tower, our scroll rings and notify us that we must meet Ozpin at the Beacon Tower tomorrow.
Ruby is nervous and anxious. I grab her waist and pull her closer. She got surprise and look at me.
Leon: “It’s going to be okay. We can handle it.”
I change my demeanor to more comfortable and Ruby relax and rest her head on my shoulder.
The next morning, we’re at the Beacon Tower and five of us is within the room. Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood, me and Ruby. Ironwood commends Ruby and me for the actions that we did. Ruby was happy that she got praise for it. Ozpin ask if there’s someone is with the infiltrator.
Leon: “No, she’s alone when we got there.”
Ruby explains about the infiltrator’s dress and the way she fights. Glynda recognize the pattern because it’s the same person that we fought during the dust robbery in the past. Ruby gave additional information about a hideout in the south east. I look at her and got confuse. She winks at me and I think she’s planning something. Ozpin smiles and let Ruby get back to her team and Ozpin requested me to stay for the time being. Ruby waves goodbye to all of us and she left the room.
Ozpin: “Is there anything you would like to add, Mr. Parker?”
Leon: “Sure.”
I open my scroll and portray 3 people and point my finger to Cinder’s portrait.
Leon: “She’s the perpetrator last night and these two are her companions.”
Ozpin: “Oh and how sure are you?”
Leon: “Because I know a lot.”
Ironwood: “And that’s your reason?”
Leon: “Didn’t Ozpin tell you about me? Like I know a lot of things like the maiden and the relics?”
Ironwood: “Yes. Well it’s hard to believe that there’s a human that lives in another dimension.”
Leon: “You can decide to believe me or not. The most important thing is that these 3 infiltrated the tower and I know the reason.”
Glynda: “The reason?”
Leon: “Information, Ironwood scroll, the Vytal Festival Tournament and make chaos at Beacon.”
Ironwood: “My scroll?”
Ozpin: “Tournament?”
Glynda: “Chaos at Beacon?”
I nod and told them.
Leon: “They put a virus inside the terminal to get Ironwood’s sensitive information. Such as using your soldier killing lives or that what they want to portray. They are going to use that to question her leadership and twist the information like killing the innocents. About the tournament, they can now control the tournament. They can now do decide who gets to fight who. She’s going to show the world the twisted information on how Ironwood kill innocent lives and creates chaos at Beacon.”
Everyone is shock. Everyone becomes paled when they heard about their plans.
Ozpin: “And how sure are you?”
Leon: “Trust me. This is the reason why Beacon fall.”
Ironwood: “This is absurd. If you knew this already, why didn’t you do something about it?”
I grin.
Leon: “I’ve already done that.”
(AC: Glynda already knows about the maiden and the relics except for Ozpin’s or Ozma’s past. So I won’t be talking about the Gods and Ozpin’s missions.)
