Chapter 178: The Crown (7)
~Theodore POV~
*Swoosh*
*Thud*
Finally.
We finally managed to get up and work on helping Jack Nights when we managed to get our wits together.
It was shameful of us to let our guard down.
And even more, the enemy of the Vacuo Kingdom terrorist group known as The Crown was dealt with in a flash against three people.
Well…
More like one teen, android, and dog against a whole army worth of Kingdom warriors…
No really, I thought they would run or worse turn but yet…
They once more prove the mantle they wear on their shoulders being the Heroes of Remnant once more time and time again even now.
Honestly is quite scary actually considering the idea now.
They managed to topple down a whole army worth of people on their own and won in the process.
I have to say Vacuo as a whole would no doubt show their gratitude towards Jack Nights and his following family for years to come or those that will since he demonstrated great strength to everyone and how he and his party members single-handedly saved everyone from being slaves to that bastard Jax.
*BAM*
Slamming my fist on the nearby wall of the Bullhead makes my blood boil in rage when I get that piece of shit in my hands – no.
Calming myself again I already received the reports from Jack Nights himself that they managed to deal with everything and dealt with any members of The Crown correctly and only took one alive.
The one in charge gave me full detailed reasoning of why he killed the rest.
I personally didn't care much he killed those that betrayed our very birth lands but at least it will be something to appease the citizens greatly for his reasoning but also his judgment to take out a threat before it becomes too much.
Unlike Vale and Atlas, we of Vacuo and also Mistral take care of what needs to be done.
Yet having something like who they were and why they attempted to control a Kingdom without anyone knowing is bad enough since it happens once before with that alien god thing a few months back.
No need for a fucking repeat.
Although I swear that boy seems to always have troubles against people that uses his mind to attack others.
My instinct tells me he has bad luck at best.
Much like a certain bird, I know but that's beside the point.
Once our Bullheads made it to the dangerous parts of Vacuo, we finally the victims in this mess with their eyes at us coming down helping them return home as soon as possible in trying times.
Sigh…
Shaking my head at this I see the majority of these kids coming back with resentment but also anger directed at I and Rumpole but I wouldn't blame them either.
We were weak to protect them and let this nasty pest fester before it was too late.
In a way, it was a wake-up call for Rumpole and I that we needed our students to be more prepared but otherwise, most won't take us seriously after this.
"Hey everyone just stop, with the glaring and go already!"
Yelling at the groups staring at us was the young man himself with him speaking up for us as he spoke to the crowd, "Come on everyone you have to know that the Headmaster and his assistant couldn't do much against a large number of you guys. You forget that they are human and fragile like everyone else. If you want to complain about being brainwashed it was your fault for getting caught being weak. So be better for the next time. I thought Vacuo was supposed to be where the strong can stay and the weak fuck off or am I just wrong? Hmm…?"
Everyone clicked their teeth at that remark and went for their weak points of them.
With that everyone merely kept to themselves not wanting to complain or anything holding their pride to themselves for being weak.
If there is one thing to put a Vacuan in their place, then it would be very effective to go for their weak points.
Also known as their pride to be strong and live in Vacuo.
Just having someone point it out like this would grate them with anger towards Jack instead of us.
It's ashamed to admit that we had to get his help by acting like the bad guy trying to save our reputation.
Still, at least Rumpole and I can salvage the situation at hand and better prepare our students for the coming Vytal Festival coming soon.
At least they will be able to focus on their failure of being brainwashed into the determination of wanting to improve themselves to never become slaves ever again.
Sigh…
I swear I don't know to be impressed by Jack Nights' way of creating an alternative means of saving my face or really good to piss off and making enemies in the process.
Even some mumbled under their breaths wishing to pay back Jack in the Vytal Tournament making a lot of enemies or rivals in the process.
Surely that lit a fire in their eyes.
Which it was good or bad is yet to be seen.
Either way, everyone soon follows inside the Bullhead while I see Jack coming over and talking to us in a polite tone, "Hello Headmaster Theodore. A real pleasure to meet you without the whole brainwashing thing happening. Like seriously what is the luck dealing with that kind of scenario of some wannabe wanting to take over the world right?"
Laughing at how relaxed Jack Nights is being I couldn't help but agree to that with me shaking his hand, "Hahaha! I got to say you have shitty luck that's what! But anyway, I can't help but thank you for saving the Vacuo Kingdom from this disaster and nipping it in the bud before it becomes a major issue."
He sighs at this as he began to carry over one of the persons in charge of the whole thing with a blank look of surrender on her face with Jack explaining things for me, "This here is the Queen of The Crown. I dealt with their loyalist that is now dead. She's the only one left to take the fall with everyone being too fanatic about their cause. Shut her up when she viewed her dead allies siding with 'The Queen' that Ozpin has been fighting."
Ah…
Giving the lass tied up with a cold stare and Jack's hints I get the clearer picture now.
Clenching my fist listening and giving intel to the enemy…
I could only grit my teeth that all the valuable info I had saved in my Headmaster's Office I recall handing them over to the one Ozpin forewarned us a few months back of a Cinder getting all details of the students.
And to bite myself at this was the mere fact that I also not only gathered info of the students here in Vacuo but to the rest of the Kingdoms as a precaution and yet… that precaution I had been going to bite me in the ass.
Shit…
My thoughts were soon interrupted when Jack soon began to leave me alone with the lass yawning not realizing the seriousness of what was going on, "Ahh… So, then Headmaster Theodore if you don't mind me and my party members are going to rest a bit before we have our business with the Vacuo Trade Company. When that's done with, I'll meet up with you and the rest of the Headmasters to discuss how to proceed forward after this point. Till then ciao Theo."
Sigh…
Rubbing my hands over my face I feel like I'm going to have given a long explanation to my fellow Headmasters of my fuck up.
Just perfect.
I'm just as paranoid or worse than Irondick…
Actually… I'm not dumb enough to mess with Jack since Tinman tried to break into the boy products only to reveal some very funny entertainment of this SMG4 mocking and showing how Atlas badly picked the wrong guy.
At least I'm not Ironwood bad at making an easy target for Jack Night's ire.
Still, I managed to subscribe to see more 'Mario What if' on Atlas activities tormenting them on a weekly basis.
It became Vacuo's best entertainment on Atlas suffering from them.

~Gillian POV~
I will kill him.
That bastard that killed my brother and his goal.
He didn't give him the death of a warrior but of a coward like we were insects.
All that we worked towards and my brother's life dream… why did someone like HIM have to be born in this world.
I'm already detained in the Vacuo Kingdom Shade Academy.
Lost all the family names of my father.
Disowned for the uprising against the Kingdom of Vacuo.
Brought total subjugation to all my fellow Vacuans by force.
Brought forth change at last with The Queen of Grimm helping to further my brother's dream.
All was right in the world if we waited a bit longer till the Vytal Festival…
We were too greedy. The promising taste of victory was just within our grasp and our perfect means to control one of the most influential and powerful people in this world at our fingertips.
We had all but prepared to use our slaves to all commit suicide the moment we receive words from Xanthe or Theodore about capturing the party of interest.
Or in the event they fail under a set hour we bring back a broadcast of the CCT to voice out to the Hero of Remnant Jack Nights to not surrender to The Crown rule we will kill off the entirety of the Kingdom of Vacuo.
I bluff sure if the plan fell through and yet…
Jack Nights ended us as if we were like nothing.
Only a few seconds passed when Theodore and Xanthe were about to capture him or warn us only for a few seconds to pass later when I learned everyone loyal of their own free will died instantly.
Only a few seconds what brought The Crown to our knees…
So long as I stand alive I – huh?
Suddenly standing up and trying to voice out what was happening my own body soon got to a nearby wall –
*BAM*
AH!
*BAM*
I internally screamed in pain as I had no control over my body as it continues to slam again and again onto the wall over and over again feeling my skull ache in pain while I try to get away and call for help!
*BAM*
Anyone!
*BAM*
That man you all trust is a lie!
*BAM*
His no hero…
*BAM*
HIS A MONS –
*BAM*
*THUD*
*SPLAS*
