Chapter 147 - Got a Light?

Magus: "Logan, thank you for getting here on such short notice." Magus spoke when he felt Logan and his family arrive.

Logan: "01 was very curt about getting here as soon as possible." Logan replied, slightly irritated at 01.

Magus: "She is who she is, sorry for her behavior." He sighed before looking at Glynda. "Glynda, it's good to meet you in the flesh finally. I just wish this was under better circumstances."

Glynda: "It's a pleasure." Glynda bowed her head as Dorothy waved from Glynda's arms.

.

This is their first meeting in the flesh since the times before were when Magus could not receive visitors. Now that plans were in motion, things were different.

.

Magus: "Shall we get right down to business?" Magus asked to which Logan and Glynda nodded while Glynda handed off Dorothy to 03 to watch her. "Right, as you both know, the plan is to replace the Brother Gods with another or more powerful god. IF things go as planned, I will take their place and govern this world with the help of the Goddess karma. If they don't, It all falls to pure luck on what will happen."

.

Logan understood what Magus wasn't saying, Glynda however was confused.

.

Glynda: "What's the full plan?" Glynda asked, completely confused.

Magus: "The full plan requires the use of the four Relics that the Brothers used to choose who shall remain when they wipe out all but 5% of sentient life. With the four relics that are in Logan's possession, we will be able to create a trap for the Brother Gods and contain them. From there, it will be up to me and the homunculi to subdue and neutralize the gods. That is the overall gist of the plan."

Glynda: "I see..." Glynda replied skeptically. "Without the details of this plan of yours, it seems skeptical at best.

Logan: "I understand where you're coming from, Hon." Logan spoke up.

Magus: "While your skepticism is warranted, this is far from worrisome." Magus placated her. "While simple, the plan will work. Using their own powers granted to cage them will work. Even more so after we've modified them to siphon their godly energy and mana."

.

Logan understood more than Glynda just because he's been around Oasis more than her. Oasis was built just to contain the Brother Gods and hold them tight. Each and every room was designed in such a way that the entire island that it was situated on was a prison. From the bedrooms to the workshops, and even the library they were standing in. Everything was prepared to imprison the Brother Gods.

.

Magus talked a bit more with the two of them before they left to go and situate themself in their new home for the next five months. 03, who was playing with Dorothy while they talked, lead the way to their room. From there, she left the three of them to unpack. Well two, Dorothy just took a nap while they worked. Once they were unpacked, Glynda wanted to learn more about magic so Logan lead her to 03's workshop. 03, when she was asked, was delighted to teach Glynda what she could. Logan left the two to do their thing while he sought out 02. After finding 02, Logan asked f there was anything that he could do for Magus and the plan.

.

02 told Logan that until they modified the last three remaining Relics, they couldn't really do anything. From there, Logan pulled the three Relics they didn't modify out of his [Inventory] and handed them to 02. 02 commented that he forgot that Logan had obtained them after 01 stole the Relic of Choice.

.

The first one he worked on of the three was the Relic of Knowledge. The relic was shaped like an intricate golden lamp with two curved handles that surround a blue orb. The first thing they did was destroy the enchantment that attracted Grimm to it. From there, 02 did his best to modify the enchantments without destroying them. It took several hours, even with Logan helping where he could. By the time it was done, it was night.

.

The second one they worked on was the Relic of Creation. The Relic took the shape of a golden ornamented staff with a blue spearhead-shaped crystal on top, it also features a smaller crystal on the bottom. From what Logan could remember from the show, it could create anything the user wished as long as they were detailed with it and it summoned a spirit called Ambrosius. There wasn't as much needed to modify this Relic as Grimm weren't attracted to it like the Relic of Knowledge.

.

They left the third one, the Relic of Destruction, for now as it was getting very late in the night, and neither 02 nor Logan had eaten anything. So with stomach rumbling and half-starved, 02 led Logan to the kitchen where the two fed themselves and called it a night. The morning of the next day arrived faster than Logan would have liked but he dealt with it like any sain person, with copious amounts of coffee.

.

The second day came and went with surprising speed. Logan and 02 continued to work on the last relic, it being the easiest one of them all since it ability was the opposite of the Relic of Creation. Its ability allowed it to destroy things down to the molecular level. Going so far as to erase things from existence if used properly.

.

Logan: 'Such a useful ability for cannon RWBY.' Logan thought as he stored it away. 'If cannon Ozpin knew about this ability, Salem wouldn't have been an issue.'

.

Logan shook his head to clear his thoughts as he continued to help 02 to modify the last relic.

.

[With Glynda]

.

Glynda knew she made a great decision and the worst one she ever made.

.

03 was a masterful teacher when it came to teaching magic, but she also was an extreme hands-on teacher. 03 taught her the most basic of spells and then had her master them to their fullest extent, being able to cast them with but a single thought. 03 was relentless as she went above and beyond to make sure Glynda could cast them as fast as the other homunculus. And this was in just the first day.

.

As the second day dawned, 03 all but dragged Glynda out of her and Logan's shared bed and had her casting spells long before the others were up. At around 8'oclock, 03 called it quits and had Glynda follow her to the kitchen. From there, 03 had Glynda cooking while using the spells she was taught. Forcing her to learn how to multi-task and cast at the same time. At around 10, 03 took pity on Glynda and cooked for her. Which took all of three minutes.

.

At first, Glynda was astonished at the speed at which 03 cooked the meal. The next thing she was amazed about was at the taste. It was a full-course breakfast and yet it was the best thing she had ever tasted. Logan's and her cooking didn't and couldn't hold a candle to the way 03 cooked.

.

Glynda: "How?" Glynda asked as she savored the taste.

03: "Simple, experience." 03 giggled, seeing the shocked look on Glynda's face.

Glynda: "Experience..." Glynda muttered, understanding just how long she had been at this. "It must have been lonely."

03: "Serina." 03 said with a smile, confusing Glynda: "My real name, when I was human, was Serina."

Glynda: "Why are you telling me this?" Glynda asked.

Serina: "Simple." Serina sighed. "There's a good chance that we won't be coming back after the battle. I want someone to remember me, the real me. Not some number."

Glynda: "I understand, Serina." Glynda smiled as she ate and once she was finished, she stood up. "Let's get back to work then. Shall we, Serina?"

.

Serina smiled and agreed.
