Chapter 7: The Fall of Beacon

(3rd Person POV)

Ruby tried to reach for Crescent Rose but realized she didn't have it. So she pulled out her scroll and tried to call for help but Mercury destroyed it.

Mercury: Let's just keep this between us friends, shall we

Olympia quickly stepped in front of Ruby in a defensive manor.

Olympia: Ruby! Go! Stop the match!

Ruby: Right!

Using her Petal Burst, Ruby blitzed right past Mercury, who attempted to stop her, only to be kicked in the face by Olympia, whose expression clearly showed hate for the silver haired assassin.

Mercury: What are you gonna do without your buddies, Princess?

Olympia: Who said I needed them to fight?

ACT I: THE FALL'S BEGINNING

Mercury sprinted towards Olympia, who got into a battle stance with her moth wings flared up, showing off aggression. He lunged a kick at her, only for Olympia to sidestep out of the way and do a back-flip, kicking Mercury in the chin, causing him to stumble back; Olympia was more known as the support type along with Cassie in the team, but it didn't mean she could do damage. Despite preferring to play the support role, Olympia can go toe to toe in a battle and keep up, even in hand to hand combat. So she was having no problems keeping up with Mercury. Mercury shot a Dust round at Olympia, who blocked with her right wing before spin kicking Mercury away from her. Unfortunately for him, as soon as he refocused on her, Olympia had already fired off her >Sparkling Payload< at him, knocking him out and shattering his Aura. Olympia glared at him one last time before flying after Ruby. But as she did, she heard shocked gasps, which only triggered her to hurry up.

When she finally found Ruby, she was on her knees, with a look of disbelief and horror. Olympia was about to ask about what happened, until she saw it... Pyrrha standing in front of Penny... Well what was left of her... Penny had been ripped to pieces, literally... showing off all her wiring...

Port: No!

Ruby: Penny...

Ruby couldn't hold back her tears and began to sob miserably... Olympia, nearly fell over as her eyes burned from the tears falling from them...

Olympia: I... I failed... No...

Maina and Miana had quickly met up with their Princess.

Miana: We're sorry Princess... We were too late...

Olympia: ...

Maina: Princess...?

Oobleck: Broadcast! What are you doing!? Kill the feed!

Broadcast: Something's wrong! We don't have control over the cameras! We can't even stop the broadcast!

Oobleck: What!? How is that possible!?

Suddenly, the screens changed to bright red with a black queen emblem as woman voice began speaking...

Woman: This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim you to be our guardians, but are, in reality, nothing more than men.

Olympia's thoughts: That voice... Isn't it... Cinder...?

Cinder: Our Academies' Headmasters wield more power than most armies, and one was audacious enough to control both. They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet, what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference. And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First a dismemberment, now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy, yet I have witnessed neither. Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the Tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded the streets. Or perhaps this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied and unsuspecting Kingdom with armed forces. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong, but I know the existence of peace is fragile and the leaders of our Kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves. As someone who hails from Mistral, I can assure you the situation there is... equally undesirable. Our Kingdoms are on the brink of war, yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark. So I ask you, when the first shots are fired... who do you think you can trust?

The screens in the arena turned to static before a loud siren began blaring.

Announcement: Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: Nine. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner.

Ironwood attempts to calm everyone down.

Ironwood: Ladies and Gentlemen, please. There is no need for panic.

As he said that, a Giant Nevermore landed on the aerial Hard-light barrier of the Colosseum. Ozpin, in his office gripped his cane tightly as Qrow and Glynda entered his office.

Qrow: Oz!

Ozpin: Get to the city! NOW!

The two shared a glance before rushing towards the elevator. Then Ironwood began calling Ozpin.

Ironwood: Ozpin... the girl... I-I can explain!

Ozpin: You brought your army to my Kingdom, James. Use it!

In the Hospital Lazarus at, Weiss and the Nurse watched the live feed from the television in Lazarus' room with shocked and horrified expressions.

Nurse: Oh dear...

Weiss: Penny...

Weiss gripped Myrtenaster tightly before looking at the still dormant Lazarus... then back at the nurse.

Weiss: Miss. Can you watch over him?

Nurse: I can, but what about you?

Weiss got up with a determined expression.

Weiss: I'm going to do my job.

She dropped her determined expression, replacing it with a softer one before looking at her lover in the bed before hovering over him.

Weiss: I'll come back to you, Laz. I love you.

She planted a kiss on his forehead before rushing out of the hospital, but at the same time, her Scroll began to ring. When she answered it, she was put into a group call with Blake, Yang and Olympia.

Weiss: You guys just saw what happened right!?

Cassie: Of course we did! Blake and I are in the fairgrounds and it's a literal shit show over here!

Blake: Yang! Are you there!?

Yang: I'm here with Cassandra and we're fine! Where's Ruby and Olympia!?

Miana: Maina and I are with them right now. We're in the Colosseum. Their alright but...

Maina: They both saw that robo-girl get ripped to shreds and aren't in the best state right now. But physically, their fine.

Yang: Cassandra and I are heading towards the docks near the courtyard! The White Fang are releasing Grimm into the school!

Cassie: What the fu-

Blake: The White Fang's here!?

There was then the sound of glass shattering and multiple Grimm growling on Yang's side followed up a couple of gunshots, most likely from her Ember Celica. Then the sound of lasers being fired off and Grimm flesh being ripped apart, with the aggressive yelling from Cassandra.

Blake: Yang!? Cassandra!?

Yang: We gotta go!

Yang quickly hung up her side of the call.

Cassie: Weiss, where are you right now!?

Weiss: I'm hurrying to the docks of the school from the hospital! I see so many Grimm... Way more than those from the breech!

Cassie: Damn...

Blake: Alright. Cassie and I will go meet up with you there.

Weiss: Got it!

Cassie: Miana, Maina. Take care of Ruby and Olympia, please.

Miana and Maina: Right!

With that settled, the group call was ended. Back within the the Colosseum, the Nevermore was still trying to break through the barrier.

Sun: A Nevermore!?

Coco: How did it get past the Kingdom's defenses!?

Ren: It wasn't alone.

As multiple people ran past Ruby, Olympia, Maina and Miana, the Nevermore continued to stomp and peck at the Barrier.

Announcement: Safety Barriers Failing.

The Colosseum shook as Pyrrha just stayed there, kneeling and looking at Penny in horror as Jaune tried to call out to her.

Jaune: Pyrrha! Pyrrha, that thing's going to break in! You've gotta move!

Pyrrha didn't respond and just kept looking at Pyrrha. Jaune looked up to see the Nevermore flying up into the air and charging toward the barrier so he jumped over the wall and began bolting towards Pyrrha.

Nora: Jaune!

The Nevermore finally broke through the barrier and landed in front of Pyrrha, knocking both her and Jaune back.

Jaune: Pyrrha! Please snap out of it!

Maina: That dumbass is gonna get himself killed!

Before the Nevermore had a chance to snack on Pyrrha however, a red blur rushed in front of her, stabbing one of Penny's swords into the chest of the Nevermore; it was Ruby and she was NOT happy.

Pyrrha: Ruby...?

Ruby: LEAVE HER ALONE!

The Nevermore screeched and tried to charge them but suddenly, multiple lockers landed on it and pinned it to the ground. When they all settled, they opened to reveal the weapons of the tournament combatants. They all stood on the Nevermore, holding their Weapons, Team ABRN, BRNZ, CFVY, FNKI, SSSN, Ichigo and Keqing. The Nevermore slowly began to get up, triggering Nora to jumped into the air and slammed its head with Magnhild. Then Arslan grabbed Yatsuhashi and jumped into the air while Sage also leaped into the air. Arslan then threw Yatsuhashi at the Nevermore as Sage began descending; the two great swords wielders spinning their swords as the beheaded the Nevermore. Pyrrha had to muster up the courage to look at Ruby...

Pyrrha: Ruby I...

She struggled to talk as she looked at the piece of Penny's cloth and cried even more.

Penny: I'm so sorry.

Ruby: Me too... But it wasn't your fault.

Jaune began to walk over to Pyrrha, holding her Miló and Akoúo.

Jaune: That's right. Whoever was on that microphone... they're the ones that did this. And we have to make sure they don't take anyone else.

Pyrrha slowly stood and hesitantly reached for her weapons but gained a look of determination before taking them. They then looked at the Huntsmen and Huntresses that have assembled in the center of the Arena before the moment was ruined by the screeches of more Grimm, more specifically...

Ren: Griffons.

Neptune: Anyone got a plan of attack?

Before any of the Griffons that showed up had a chance to even move, they were engulfed by massive blue beams of energy that vaporized them, instantly... Everyone looked on in shock, but Sun immediately knew who did that...

Sun: Olympia!

He was right, as Olympia had used her >Sparkling Payload< at maximum power, which managed to vaporize the Grimm in one shot. But what, everyone noticed the most, was her expression... Gone was the normally innocent and happy-go-lucky Princess of the Houtua Tribe... and replacing her, was a Princess with a dangerous glare of determination and anger... the latter of which was VERY rare for Olympia...

Olympia: We take the fight to them. That is our plan.

She said as gripped her Goddess Stingers tightly. She then took out her scroll before tossing it to Ruby.

Olympia: Ruby, catch!

Ruby caught it and immediately called in her Crescent Rose, which arrived via rocket propelled locker. Before she could get to it though, a Griffon landed on it and was about to attack but it was suddenly shot off. The students turned around to see Professor Port and Oobleck, both with their weapons.

Port: Students I think it would be best for you to leave.

Ruby: But we did a-

Oobleck: Ms. Rose! This day will surly go down in Remnant's history. I'd prefer it if my students could live to tell about it.

Ruby hesitated for a while before nodding and striking a pose with Crescent Rose, while pointing at the exit.

Ruby: Let's go!

Everyone began to run past Ruby as Velvet snapped a picture of her.

Coco: Velvet!

She ran off to be with her team as Ruby, Olympia, Maina and Miana followed in suit. They all ended up in the docking bay of Amity, where they saw Ironwood, who had just put a bullet in a Grimm's head.

Ruby: What's going on!?

Ironwood: Grimm are crawling all over the city. They White Fang's invaded Beacon and to make matters worse, some... vagabond has seized one of my ships. Until we regain command, the skies are out of our control. So I'm...

He interrupted himself by shooting a Grimm that was creeping behind them.

Ironwood: ...going to take it back.

Jaune: What should we do?

Ironwood: You have two choices. Defend your Kingdom and your school... or save yourselves. No one will fault you if you leave.

He then quickly looked at Olympia, who got on the defensive but was taken aback from what he said next...

Ironwood: Princess... I would like for us to put aside our differences right now so we can protect Beacon, together. And... Tell, Cassie and Cassandra, that I'm sorry...

She was shocked, but she smiled at him.

Olympia: Will do.

Ironwood sighed from what it looked, like relief before entering his ship.

Ironwood: Let's move out!

His ship quickly took off towards the rouge Atlesian Airship.

Sun: I mean... come on!

Jaune: We can take a ship to Beacon.

They all moved over to a ship and boarded it. The ship slowly began to leave when suddenly, the occupants witnessed the sight of Ironwood's ship getting shot down by some unknown Purple beam, which was followed up by an unsettling and dark roar that caused Olympia's eyes to widen...

Olympia's thoughts: That Roar...

Before anything else could happen, Ruby ran out of the back of the ship.

Sun: Ruby!

Olympia watched as she went before remembering how Ironwood got shot down. She clenched her fists and sighed before turning to her twin priestesses.

Olympia: Maina... Miana... This... is my final command... Protect my friends and Beacon to the very end.

The twins looked at each other shocked at the tone she took before looking at their Princess.

Maina and Miana: Yes ma'am.

Sun, who overheard, went over to Olympia immediately.

Sun: Olympia what are you doing!?

Olympia: I think I know what shot down Ironwood... A Guardian Beast that can Rival mine... I have to go stop them...

Sun wanted to protest, but he knew that in a battle between two Guardian Beasts, he'd just be in the way...

Sun: Will you be alright?

Sun expected an answer, but was shocked to hear his answer......... Complete Silence...

Sun: No... No! You can't! Not with that answer, Olympia-

Sun was quickly silenced by Olympia pressing her lips against his, earning them surprised sounds from the others in the ship. Olympia deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck as Sun had no idea what to do in the moment. She then pulled away from him, a thin line of saliva keeping them connected before she gave him one of her signature innocent smiles.

Olympia: Thank you, Sun... For everything you did...

Tears fell down her eyes as she looked at him before...

"Bye-Bye..."

She quickly flew out of the ship, as she faintly heard Sun calling out to her. As she dived towards the area, the beam came from, the thought as a tear fell from her eye...

Olympia's thoughts: I won't lose another home again...!

**********************************

In the City, Qrow and Glynda were easily fighting through the Grimm with the help of the Atlesian Knights but suddenly, the knights' visors turned red and they turned on them.

Glynda: What!?

**********************************

Blake and Cassie had made their way to the courtyard of Beacon, where they saw Weiss, fighting off some Grimm.

Blake: Weiss!

Weiss turned around, to see Cassie and Blake running up to her. She was about to greet them, before Cassie launched San at her, who fired off a >Gravity Beam< at an Atlesian Knight that was aiming their gun at her. As they regrouped, they were surrounded by Atlesian Knights.

Cassie: Tsk... Ironwood...

Blake: I don't think this was him! Their visors, are red this time.

Weiss: That doesn't matter right now!

Cassie: Right! Let's send them back to the scrap heap!

The three charged at the Atlesian Knights, with Weiss and Blake taking point and slashing through them as Cassie hung in the back, providing support with Ni and San. As they pushed through the Grimm and the Atlesian Knights, Cassie heard King Ghidorah roaring within her mind.

Cassie: Ghidorah?? What is it??

*ROAR*

Cassie's eyes widened from shock...

Cassie: Wait... he's here!? And Olympia went after him!?

Blake: Cassie what is it!?

Cassie: Olympia's in trouble! I'm going to save her!

Cassie spread open her wings before taking to the skies but Blake called out to her.

Blake: Don't die on me! I love you!

Cassie smiled back at her.

Cassie: I won't and I love you too!

When she flew off, Blake and Weiss split off, with Blake running towards the right. As Blake got closer to the cafeteria, taking out Grimm along the way, her eyes widen as she saw someone in it... a Man with red hair, Bull horns, a Grimm Mask and he was holding a Katana and sheath...

Blake: ...No... A-Adam...?

Adam: *smiles* Hello, my darling.

**********************************

With Yang and Cassandra, they was taking out a bunch of Grimm with Zwei running alongside them when suddenly, the entire place shook violently. Qrow and Glynda felt it from the city and looked to a mountain which began to crack... Then, the mountain shattered, releasing a massive Dragon Grimm which began to fly towards the school, with green flames shooting out of its nostrils...

**********************************

ACT II: THE FALL'S CLIMAX

(3rd Person POV)

As the place shook violently from the massive Dragon awakening, Lazarus' nurse, kept watching the destruction of Beacon from the live feed. But suddenly, her attention was grabbed by a loud roar from within the room.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

She turned around, only to be beyond shocked at the sight of him...

Nurse: You...!

In his Hybrid form, with his blowing blue dorsal fins on his back, his massive tail and the glowing ring pattern on his horns... His eyes flashed between gold and blue... He has reawakened...


LAZARUS

Lazarus/Azealia: Long Live the King.

**********************************

Olympia had ended up on the outskirts of Beacon, but immediately after she arrived, two purple beams of energy shot right past her. She turned around, only to be shocked at the person who stood before her... It was a female... She had long white hair, pointed ears and two onyx colored horns on her head, like Lazarus, but unlike him, her eyes were a blood red instead of the brilliant gold. She wore a black, silver and purple sleeveless battle dress with black thigh-highs... But what shocked her the most... were the massive Black and Red Moth-like wings on her back...

Girl: Princess Olympia Mosura... The current carrier of the blood of Mothra...the archenemy of my Guardian Beast...

Suddenly, the girl began to smile wickedly...

Girl: Perfect... I finally will have the chance... TO DESTROY YOU!

She erupted in dark red energy as she shouted the name, Olympia was hoping to not hear...

"BATTRA!"

*ROAR!*

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A massive black and red demonic-like moth erupted from the ground behind her, transforming her into a new form. Her white hair had turned a dark red as she gained a head crest with a prominent horn. She wore a revealing skin-tight, demonic-like armor, showing off her stomach and thighs as her eyes glowed their red color, but this time with a hint of purple.

Seeing as there was no other option, Olympia gritted her teeth before calling forth her Guardian Beast.

"MOTHRA!"

*ROAR!*

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The godlike Guardian Beast erupted from behind her as she flew up into the air, transforming into her Hybrid form. The girl quickly followed her into the sky before the two faced each other, with the ruins of Beacon Academy behind them...

Girl: I've waited for this moment... Remember this face, Princess Olympia, as I, Seraphim Branwen, will bring you to your maker!

Olympia's thoughts: Branwen...? Isn't that Qrow's last... name...?

Seraphim held out her arm as her blood trickled down her fingers, before forming and solidifying into a large Scythe of blood; this was her Semblance, Blood Harbinger.

She pointed her Scythe at Olympia

Seraphim: Let's go!

Olympia: Hyah!

They two blitzed towards each other, clashing their weapons together which created powerful shockwaves within the sky as sparks flew all over the place. Olympia, was no doubt, a formidable close ranged fighter, however, Seraphim seemed completely out of her league. If she had to summarize it, fight Seraphim would be like fighting Lazarus, if he could fly. So, she knew she wasn't going to win in a brawl. Seraphim made a horizontal slash at Olympia, who dodged it by back-flipping away before she began flying away from Seraphim.

Seraphim: Running won't save you!

Seraphim shouted as she chased after Olympia, this time her eyes began to glow a deep purple before she unleashed her >Prism Beams< at the divine moth-hybrid, who managed to narrowly dodge them.

**********************************

In the city, Qrow and Glynda continued to take out multiple Atlesian Knights until someone suddenly shot them all down; it was Ironwood and his clothing was mostly ripped away, revealing his metal components. He finally Pistol whipped a few before addressing his fellow Huntsmen.

Ironwood: This area is secure. We need to-

He was suddenly interrupted by Qrow holding down the trigger of his Harbinger, causing the gears to turn in it and for its blade to curve upwards and handle to extend, revealing its Scythe form.

Ironwood: Qrow! This isn't my doing!

Qrow ignored him and ran at him with a serious expression. Ironwood turned his revolver around and got ready to fight but Qrow jumped up into the air and was seemingly aiming for something else. Ironwood turned around to see that Qrow was charging a Griffon. Once up close, Qrow sliced the Griffon in half and looked back at Ironwood.

Qrow: Hmph. You idiot. I know you didn't do this.

Ironwood sighed as Glynda walked up to him, resting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Qrow: So what now?

Ironwood immediately returned to his normal stance.

Ironwood: Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines, and that enormous Grimm seems to be fixated on the school. Glynda! Form up with the local Huntsmen and establish a safe zone here in Vale. We need to evacuate Beacon. Qrow, I'm leaving that to you and my men. I still need to get to my ship.

And just then, they looked up to see the airship crash landing into Vale.

Qrow: Won't be much of a walk.

**********************************

With the rogue ship destroyed, all the Atlesian Knights deactivated. With Weiss and the other teams, a paladin that was running at them, suddenly shut off and fell over. Weiss hunched over and began to pant heavily.

Maina: Eh, that went better than expected.

???: Weiss!

She looked up to see Yang and Cassandra running towards her.

Yang: You're okay! Have you heard from Ruby!?

She just shook her head in denial.

Yang: What about Blake?

Weiss: She went after an Alpha... for the White Fang. *points towards the Cafeteria*

Just then, Cassandra's scroll began beeping. She took it out, only to see a message from Ozpin, that read... "Hurry! It's time!". Cassandra looked at Yang.

Cassandra telepathically: Ozpin needs me. I gotta go.

Yang: Alright. I'll go after Blake. Weiss, meet up with Ruby.

Weiss just tiredly gave a thumbs up. Cassandra was about to get going before Yang suddenly grabbed her.

Yang: Don't think your leaving without giving me one of these.

Yang immediately smashed her lips against Cassandra's, catching her off guard but she quickly melted into it and kissed back with equal force. When the two separated, Yang, while blushing, put her hands on Cassandra's shoulders.

Yang: Please... Come back alive.

Cassandra smirked and winked with a thumbs up, before the two separated, with Yang running towards the cafeteria and Cassandra, towards Beacon Tower.

**********************************

Olympia: Hyah!!!

Olympia yelled as she fired off her >Antenna Rays< at Seraphim, who redirected the beams with her Blood Scythe before firing off her >Prism Beams<. Olympia managed to block them with her Goddess Stingers, but suddenly, both blades began to crack...

Olympia's thoughts: No! She's... too... strong!

Just then, Seraphim ended her assault and charged Olympia, swinging her Blood Scythe at her with a yell. Olympia attempted to block with her right blade, but as soon as they made contact, her blade shattered completely... before the scythe blade made contact with Olympia's chest, causing her Aura to shimmer violently as she screamed in pain...

**********************************

Down in the vault, Ozpin, Pyrrha and Jaune, who followed them, began booking it down the hallway.

Jaune: What is this place?

Pyrrha: It's... a type of vault.

Jaune: You've... been here before?

Pyrrha didn't respond but just looked away.

Jaune: What would this school need to... hide...?

When they arrived at the pods, there Jaune saw Amber for the first time...

Jaune: What...? Who...?

Pyrrha: Jaune...

Ozpin: Pyrrha. Get to the pods.

She took another look at Jaune before running over to the pod.

Ozpin: Mr. Arc, if you'd like to help, you can stand guard here.

Jaune complied with his request and raised his shield. Ozpin began to press some buttons on the console, linking the two pods together.

Pyrrha: What do we do now?

Ozpin: *sigh* 'We' do nothing. You, Ms. Nikos, has a choice to make.

Pyrrha: What about Kaliyah?

Ozpin: We can't wait any longer. You have to make your choice carefully now.

Pyrrha looked at the pod, before looking at Jaune... Then she remembered her sister, Cassandra... A tear ran down her eye before she quickly wiped it away and entered to pod.

**********************************

Blake and Adam were still dueling with the latter clearly having the upper hand.

Adam: This could have been our day! Can't you see that!?

Blake: I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted peace!

Blake then converted her Gambol Shroud to its SMG mode and attempted to shoot Adam, but he absorbed it with Wilt and Blush, causing it, his hair and the red on his shirt to glow.

Adam: What you want is impossible!

Adam then slapped her, causing her to fall to the ground.

Adam: But I understand, because I all I want... is you Blake. And as I set out upon this world and deliver justice mankind so greatly deserves... I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love.

Yang: Blake!

Blake and Adam looked over to see, Yang shooting some White Fang Members with Ember Celica.

Yang: Where are you!?

Adam then smirked at Blake to her horror.

Adam: Starting with her.

**********************************

Olympia desperately rushed at Seraphim, attempting to strike her with her remaining Goddess Stinger, but the Battra-Hybrid knocked it out of her hand with the blunt end of her Blood Scythe, before knocking her back.

Olympia's thoughts: No... I won't... Give up yet!

She thought as she used the remainder of her Aura to activate her Semblance, Mothra's Scales as she flew back towards Seraphim, now with her wings shedding their reflective scales. Seraphim attempted to fire off her >Prism Beams< at Olympia, only to have them ricochet off of the scales and make contact with herself, knocking her back. Seraphim growled as Olympia began using her >Cantaloupe Lightning Arcs<, striking Seraphim with orange colored lightning bolts from her wings as the scales formed a type of barrier around her, stunning her indefinitely.

Seraphim: That's enough!

Having enough, Seraphim spread her wings open, creating a large gust of wind that interrupted Olympia, before she made a strike with her Blood Scythe that made contact with Olympia's back, causing her to scream in pain, her Aura to break and for her to be forced out of her Hybrid form...

Olympia's thoughts:  I... Argh! I can't win! I need to...!

Olympia began fleeing by flying away from Seraphim, but unfortunately for her, Seraphim was right on her tail... and with one swing of her scythe... Olympia cried out in pain as the tip of her left wing, was separated from the rest of it... The pained roar of Mothra along with Olympia's pained cries echoed throughout the area as she crash landed...

Seraphim grinned as she hovered in front of Olympia.

Seraphim: It's the end of the line, for you, Princess. Say Goodnight-

???: BACK OFF!!!

Before Seraphim could deliver the final blow, two similar Golden Dragon whips collided with her, causing her to skid back; Cassie had arrived him her Hybrid form but Olympia had a horrified expression on her face.

Olympia: C-Cassie...!?

Cassie: STAY AWAY FROM HER, BATTRA!

Seraphim just glared daggers at the Ghidorah-Hybrid before rushing at her and engaging in a brutal clash.

**********************************

Ozpin franticly prepared the pods as the place shook with the sound of an explosion. That only triggered him to get more frantic, as he knew, she was on her way...

Ozpin: Are you ready?

Pyrrha looked at the old wizard, before nodding.

Ozpin: I... I need to here you say it.

Pyrrha: Yes.

Ozpin: Thank you Ms. Nikos.

He pressed a couple of buttons before Amber's pod rose up and she began to glow orange. The orange energy then began to get transferred through the tubes and to Pyrrha who began to scream in pain and agony.

Jaune: Pyrrha!

Ozpin: I'm... so sorry...

Just then, a black glass arrow was shot towards Amber's pod and broke through the glass, piercing her heart... Ozpin and Jaune turned around to see Cinder...

**********************************

As Cassandra was hurrying to Beacon tower, she suddenly stopped and gripped her chest tightly as she grunted in pain... But she had a feeling she knew why...

Cassandra's thoughts: Amber...

**********************************

Adam then unsheathed Wilt and stabbed Blake in her abdomen, causing her to scream in pain, gaining Yang's attention.

Yang: Huh? Get away from her!

Blake: No... Please...

Adam just smirked, enraging Yang and causing her to activate her semblance, Burn. She screamed in anger and charged Adam only for him to glow red and using his Semblance, Moonslice, slice right through Yang's Aura and right through her right arm...

**********************************

Even thought Cassie was strong, all of the fighting and flying she's done prior had left her a bit exhausted, so she was faltering... BADLY. With a yell, Cassie and Seraphim charged at each other one last time before striking and ending up on the other side of each other... but unfortunately, Cassie's cried out in pain as her Aura shattered and she was forced out of her Hybrid form... She fell to the ground, with Ni and San roaring in defeat as they disappeared... Cassie struggled to stand as Seraphim descended to her level, before her eyes began to glow a purple color...

Seraphim: You're gonna pay for interfering...

**********************************

Amber continued to gasp for air before she fell limp, her heart monitor flat-lining...

**********************************

Yang's body unconsciously fell on to the ground as Blake watched in horror...

**********************************

Pyrrha was desperately trying to break out of the pod, seeing Cinder here and Amber dead. An orange orb of energy sprouted from Amber's body and went into Cinder's, causing her eyes to glow orange and for her to start hovering in the air. Jaune attempted to charge her.

Ozpin: Stay back!

But it was too late as Cinder erupted in fiery energy, sending Jaune flying back.

Pyrrha: JAUNE!!!

Pyrrha managed to use her Semblance of Polarity to force the door on the pod off its hinges and at Cinder how reflected it. Pyrrha then grabbed her weapons and got ready to charge Cinder but Ozpin quickly stopped her.

Ozpin: Take Jaune and get out of here! Find Glynda, Ironwood, Qrow! Bring them here right away! The tower cannot fall!

Pyrrha: But I can help!

Ozpin: You'll only get in the way.

Pyrrha reluctantly ran over to Jaune and helped him up. The two began to run out of the Vault while Cinder watched.

**********************************

Seraphim: Say goodbye!

Cassie shut her eyes as she prepared to feel the burning sensation of Seraphim's >Prism Beams< but... what she didn't expect to hear... was a pained cry... She reopened her eyes... only to be shocked beyond belief... Olympia... stood in front of her... with her arms out in a protective manor... as Seraphim's >Prism Beams< made contact with her...

Cassie: ...O-Olympia...?

Her voice trembled as the Princess looked at her teammate... one last time as flames engulfed her wings and body... She gave her... one last smiles as the tears falling down her face, evaporated into nothing...

"I'm... Sorry..."

With one final cry of Mothra sounding throughout the area, Olympia disintegrated.. into golden dust powder... All that's remaining, was her one Goddess Stinger sword...

Tears streamed down Cassie's face as she had just watched her teammate... the optimist of Team LCOC... be reduced to dust... right in front of her...

Cassie: O-O......... O-OLYMPIA!!!!!!!!!

Cassie just remained there as she screamed and cried... Seraphim gave her the coldest of death stares before her eyes began to glow purple again. She was about to end the Ghidorah-Hybrid, before she sensed something, and looked back at Beacon tower... She sighed as she began to fly up into the air...

Seraphim: You're lucky I have to go now. But know this, next time you won't be so lucky, Ghidorah.

And with that, she flew away, leaving the distraught Cassie to grip Olympia's remaining sword tightly as she cried uncontrollably into the Grimm Infested sky...

**********************************

Adam slowly walked over to the unconscious Yang, whipping the blood off of his blade before Blake stumbled her way to her fallen partner.

Adam: Why must you hurt me Blake?

Blake said nothing but showed that she was determined to protect Yang. Adam raise his Wilt and was about to strike down on Blake but suddenly, a long black tail slammed into his side, sending him flying back. Blake looked up, only to be shocked... on who stood in front of her...

Blake: ...L-Lazarus...?

Lazarus, now in his Hybrid form, gripped Iblis and Mephiles tightly as he stared down Adam.

Adam: You...

Lazarus: Blake. Take Yang and get out of here. I'll hold him off.

Blake: What!? You can't fight him! Not even in your Hybrid Form! He's too-

Lazarus: BLAKE!

Blake was taken aback by the sudden increase in volume in his voice. He looked at her, with his golden eyes... He shot her a smile before handing her a small black box...

Lazarus: Tell Weiss... that, I love her too.

Blake's eyes became stained with tears as he realized what he was implying... But she knew she couldn't stop him... So, with the box in hand, Blake got back up and ran out of the cafeteria with the unconscious Yang... Lazarus watched them go before glaring back at Adam.

Adam: So you're the Infamous Vampire that escaped the S.D.C Mines... You know, with your abilities, our forces would be unstoppable.

Lazarus: Hmph. Don't waste your breath trying to talk me into joining The White Fang. I never did and never will support in your methods.

Adam: Then you'll die alongside the Humans in their Extinction!

Adam gripped Wilt as he got into a stance, while Lazarus stood there, motionless...

Lazarus in mind: Mom...

Azealia in mind: I know son...

His dorsal fins began flashing a brilliant blue energy as his eyes changed to blue before he got into a stance.

Lazarus/Azealia: We will bring an end to you, no matter the cost, Adam!

To be Continued...
