RWBY Volume 7: Chapter 9-As Above, So Below

All rights for RWBY go to Rooster Teeth.

This is a Fan based parody.

I will be using Italicization for people's inner thoughts.

Hints towards Whiterose and Bumblebee will continue in this chapter so enjoy.

Naomi and Rachel from the previous volume/chapters will be in this chapter.

A Few Minutes After The End Of Chapter 8*

Third Person POV*

Snow continues to fall from the night sky over Mantle, collecting on roads, sidewalks, and rooftops.

Pietro and Maria stand outside Pietro's clinic with the door open, allowing civilians to take shelter inside.

A woman asked, "What's going on? Is the heat off in Atlas too?".

A man said, "They wouldn't just turn the heat off...".

Pietro and Maria look at each other.

The man asked, "...Would they?".

Maria and Pietro look up at the City of Atlas, the underside of which is still lit up cyan and purple.

In Atlas*

In The Dining Room Of The Schnee Manor*

The Atlas councilmen continue to talk to Ironwood.

Camilla said, "General, since the day you were appointed Headmaster, there have been Atlesians who are skeptical of one man holding two Council seats.".

Ironwood said, "Yes, which is exactly why we have checks and balances.".

Sleet said, "We're supposed to, but lately you've been running roughshod all over them, making unilateral decisions without us.".

Ironwood said, "Councilman, I never intended--".

Sleet interrupted Ironwood and said, "What people intend and what they do aren't always the same, General.".

A butler walks into the room, stops at Jacques Schnee's side, and whispers to him.

Jacques hushily asked, "Hm? What? For how long?".

The butler whispers again and Jacques' eyes widen.

Jacques hushily asked, "My authorization? Check it again!".

The butler hurries out of the room, and Councilman Sleet looks at Jacques.

Sleet asked, "Councilman Schnee?".

Jacques tenses.

Jacques cleared his throat and said, "Um... Yes, I, uh... agree with everything, everything that was, uh, just said. No, uh, no further questions." and he adjusts his tie and gestures awkwardly.

Jacques quiets down, collecting himself, and Sleet, Camilla, and Robyn stare at him for a moment.

Robyn turned to Ironwood and asked, "I'm not quite done yet. You're afraid of something, General. Aren't you?".

Ironwood said, "I think that's pretty obvious, Miss Hill. I'm trying to prevent Atlas from becoming another Beacon, another Haven.".

While Robyn speaks, Jacques does not appear to be paying close attention.

Instead, Jacques clasps his hands in front of his face, then puts his left hand to his face.

Robyn asked, "Yet, you don't trust your own Council to help you? Operating in secret? These are the actions of somebody who's hiding something.".
