RNBW Volume 3b Episode 7!
· The 11 Zodiac admins assemble in the ancient temple from several episodes before.
· Yuki, Cliff, Dusty, Buck, Maple, and Blaise are exhausted from prior battles.
· Adam and Narange are impatient as they arrange everyone into a circular formation around the centre of the temple. (Everyone stands above stone carvings with the Chinese character matching their respective Zodiac symbol on the stone ring in the centre, with the dragon symbol being in the centre instead of part of the ring)
· Beside all of them are large piles of the fire Dust that Adam, Rufus, and Narange stole prior.
· Rufus asks what all this is for, and Narange answers that the ritual requires them to channel the fire Dust energy through their bodies, but one single person doesn’t have the strength to do it without serious physical and mental deterioration.
· Concentrating, the Zodiac channel the Fire Dust energy into the dragon talisman placed in the centre of the circle.
· It travels into a chamber below that is completely frozen solid. A figure in the centre of the ice starts to stir.
· Elsewhere in Vacuo, William calls Ironwood to warn him about the Zodiac and send reinforcements, but Ironwood declines, saying things are too tense in Atlas to send any more troops.
· Disappointed, WCAPA catch sight of the Zodiac temple just as the earth starts to shake and orange+blue light shoots out of the temple.
· As the rumbling and light reach an incredible crescendo, it stops suddenly.
· The Zodiac admins look around, but only see that the centre of the temple has collapsed, revealing that that the chamber below is now full of boiling water.
· Adam calls the whole plan a bust until a figure slowly rises to the surface of the water.
· Narange tells the other admins to head out for the next phase of the plan, while he attends to this massive being.
· Referring to this horned figure as “my lord”, he tells them that the White Fang have located the sword and the tear that will lead their plan to fruition.
· WCAPA plan their next course of action, and Will comes up with an infiltration strategy.
· He pulls out a White Fang uniform he recovered from the manor earlier, and says he’ll sneak them in as fake prisoners.
· CAPA questions if Will can pass as a White Fang member until he takes his hat off.
· They’re shocked by this, but there’s also a bit of “yeah, that explains a lot” mixed in.
· Will is able to get CAPA into the temple, thanks to Aurelia signalling what the number password is to him.
· They get to a room where they can change into more uniforms(?) and start looking for Brandeis, as Will tells Aurelia to start scanning for clues.
· To their surprise, Brandeis greets them right around the corner.
· Just as she begins talking, Aurelia rolls her eyes and opens fire, blasting her back and revealing her to be a disguised Yuki again.
· Bitterly, Yuki signals the rest of the base to WCAPA’s presence.
· Will gives the signal and a large explosion rocks the base, diverting the attention of all the White Fang members inside.
· Nappa smugly strolls through the hole she made in the base with her new Spring Shoes.
· She takes down a few White Fang grunts but is stopped by Violet.
· The two engage in a very fast-paced, jump-filled fight.
· Nappa’s explosion frees Brandeis from the stasis chamber she was being held in.
· She weakly stumbles out, but soon after, notices an ancient scroll on a nearby desk with an intricate sword drawn on it.
· Narange hears the explosion and tells his master that he will deal with the problem.
