Oh no the story is dead! *cries*

I binged this entire story today. One of the better fallout/rwby fanfictions out there that still gets updates. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Is Alex on team CVFY instead of Yatsuhashi?

What would the name be? Now?

Great chapter, supremacist are cowards by Nature so making a terrifing scenario is gonna cripple their resolve

Let’s be honest here the people of Remnant are not imaginative and this can be traced back to Ozpin and Salem. Similar to what happened to the imaginative, progressive and intelligent people in Attack on Titan and how they got targeted in the walls by the King for being killed or discredited or forced to join his faction precisely because they could have led people to progress more and eventually escape their confinement in the walls this was something that could not be allowed and the same goes with Ozpin and Salem. People who call those two parasites are right too because they have hindered mankind long enough. And they have no true excuse for their actions in hindering mankind from progressing or pursuing other fields like for example the Emperor did in Warhammer since the fields he wanted to be left alone should have been left alone like AI (the terrible revolt by those machines along with being corrupted by Chaos proves that) or deeper understanding of the Warp (falling for the temptations of Chaos like many have before), though he did make a mistake on not telling everyone about the Warp especially his sons. I believe I can confidently speak for a majority of people when I say we don’t want Salem killed but destroyed. I don't mean lobotomy or memory wipe or confining her. What is needed is to do something similar to what Raul Evans did to Cristiana Alcott in The Hero Who Seeks Revenge Shall Exterminate with Darkness manga. Raul wanted to have his revenge on those who wronged him and his friends and in regards to the revenge of Cristiana he knew that killing her would not fulfill getting his revenge on her since she was similar to Tyrian who also was not afraid of death but instead losing his purpose which if taken from him would leave the man a pathetic shell like Cristiana who also was not afraid of death and would gladly die to achieve her goal. So when that nutcase was burned at the stake and dying happy for what she proclaim was salvation he died and went to Hell to inflict not pain but agony and terror towards Cristiana and ultimately destroy Cristiana the saint rendering her just Cristiana the regular shameless woman. Take away what a villain wants most and what is their core belief then make them a mockery of who they once were is what will destroy them. Question is how to do this to Salem and one such idea I had that could happen is putting Salem into a video simulation of what she truly fears which I think is that her whole new dark identity of the Grimm Queen is and always was nothing and she was nothing but a pawn in a amusing game the two brothers have played on not just Remnant but so many other worlds. I have seen stories where things got so dark for the victims that madness was the escape of it all and similar to the song Joker made in the Killing Joke about going loony to be happy from all the pain of life is actually something that could work. Funny enough the computer and magic simulation idea to destroy but not kill Salem actually came from the Batman the brave and the bold episode Emperor Joker where Batman turned the tables on Joker by using his mind to show Joker as what he would be as average along with Batman Arkham Knight when Batman again used his mind to make Joker terrified of being forgotten which was the only thing he truly feared. Another idea is to do what was similar in Warhammer Eisenhorn The Magos there was a drug called the Torment that truly embodied "The truth will set you free." (John 8:32) While the truth can set someone free the problem is how painful it can be especially for someone who prefers the chains they either knowingly or unknowingly attach to themselves. Similar to the One Ring and how it could feel good to have it the reality was that the One Ring was more like a parasite rather than something beneficial to someone. To remove something (physical or mental) that has been apart of someone for so long like a lie (in this case what Salem thinks of herself as basically the herald of despair or at least the Grimm Queen) someone tells themselves for why they act how they act can be difficult since it has been apart of them for so long similar to what. Fallout and Warhammer and RWBY are universes where lies thrive because to face the truth which would require you to acknowledge what you are actually doing and how broken everything is and you trying to find a reason where none exist. Perhaps there will come a point in this story when someone probably Ironwood or Ozpin will be shown the complete truth regarding themselves and with no psychological armor and excuses to hide behind and then like Eisenhorn when he was under the influence of the Torment either break like others before him when faced with the truth or become stronger and have a greater clarity.

Solution to people like Salem is to use their strengths against them along with using true bonds and understanding which they do not have with anyone. While I do like the direct approach rather then beating around the bush I do enjoy stories that can employ mysteries and mind games where we the readers try to figure out the answer which this story and the universe it is based on is all about while still retaining the violent aspect so it’s a good blend between the two. In fact one such story involving a manga called Usogui was both a mystery mind game along with violent story which had the main character Baku Madarame repeatedly bet everything even his life but through his cunning, intelligence and his friends power win each time. This is something that Alex and some of those in this story have in common with being gamblers which as pointed out in Usogui in that story people who were not gamblers could never understand them. It’s for this reason why people like them are so dangerous. In fact there was a game that involved playing poker under water with limited air that Baku Madarame did with the secondary antagonist Vincent Lalo of the manga and this under water poker is tailor made to make even the likes of Ozpin and Salem fail because for all their pride and arrogance of their intelligence to try and figure out the answer the result of knowing the answer would ironically drag those who know deeper into the abyss of failure because to think of ideas rapidly is to consume air more as opposed to doing everything you can not to think of the answer to the gamble and risk things to chance and luck to conserve air while having faith that their partner knows them well enough to know what they want to do in the poker game with no communication or try communication and risk the other side learning what is being said. Something like this would be fitting to bring down those like Ozpin and Salem who are so arrogant only to be beat at not only their own game but fail because of them not being true gamblers and when faced with losing everything and the pressure goes to the extreme their true natures would be revealed which has happened in a way with Ozpin.

Sometimes the simplest answer or there being nothing at all is the correct corse of action similar to the Sherlock series where James Moriarty did something in a mystery story which was something I never saw in any other mystery based story which was that there was no grand plan or secret but so many people assumed there was which made the reveal so shocking and the threat of there being some secret that needed to be found out just as effective as if there had been some secret. Basically what I am saying is what a mastermind can use to great effect is having people be active in their game but if no one does that and refuses to play then there is no game. Of course there is a fine line between refusing to play the game you are in and refusing to play the game the mastermind wants but this is something that is hard for intelligent people to do which is to not react to the situation they are in and only focus on the here and now. Luckily though this is something that Alex can do as despite being intelligent he is not dumb like so many other people on Remnant.

who would say Alex helped Adam improve with his speech 100, new friend acquired

I love the frank west insert, he's such a silly little guy

Remember to drink water!

PLUH

This is Great. I love this chapter and I am looking forward to seeing what you write.

Really loved the dynamic between Alex and Adam

Nice chapter

IT RETURNS, and another good ass chapter. They made it to another Iron Crown base that is ready to be destroyed/slaughtered once again and it will be glorious. A new character arrives and I like Flax hoping to see more of him and they using invisibility to fuck em up. They hunted them down like the monsters they are and Alex being a good man once more frees the slaves with his kindness of a bloodied warrior and he moves forward once again. Adam going crazy and it shows how strong does with Aura and harsh training really is as he was able to deflect, block and cut down every bullet with ease and his enemies as well, wondering when Alex gonna get his Aura unlocked even though he might not need it because of the perks in fallout being quite strong themselves. Adam stumbled upon hell and he couldn't hold back beating the fucker to death and knowing his mother was taken like that I don't blame him at and Alex is the same as understood that pain all to well. That small talk between broken men I enjoyed that and they are now comrades in arms and not awkward around each other anymore. Alex and Adam saved a little girl and Adam giving me big brother vibes which is quite wholesome and the mask stays off and Alex healing people as well. Alex and Adam might not be friends(yet) but they have a deeper understanding of each other now and they are comrades and thus Alex continues his hunt on the Iron Crown, they must be eradicated.

lmao, didn't expect to do frank west appear in a rwby story, but that's that good shit.

Awesome work please continue the story it's amazing
