Chapter 47: Birthday Week, New Arms; Part 2; Cinder Fall; False Maiden

It's been a week since (F/N) turned Adam into Wilt and Blush and made Sienna her second girlfriend.

Here we see Sienna in (F/N)'s house with the others.

Paulina: So (F/N) made the first weapon and in the process she's your second girlfriend?

Sienna: Yep, and don't worry I haven't tried anything to her. Oh and happy birth-week.

Paulina: Thank you. Hm I hope (F/N) is doing okay.

Sienna: She'll be okay, she's quite the impressive warrior, I can see why you love her.

Paulina: I sure do. But remember I'm in charge of this relationship, understood?

Sienna: Yes ma'am, so tell me about yourself Kim.

Paulina: Alright. I'm sure (F/N) is doing okay.

The camera panned over to the others who are still surprised that Sienna came from another planet.

Sam: So this is weird right?

Tucker: More weirder than what we usually do.

Danny: An actual girl from another planet, that is so cool!

Paulina: *To Sienna* He wants to be an astronaut.

Sienna: I see. Well it's important to have dreams.

Meanwhile back on Remnant, we see Pyrrha is still in shock that she's alive.

Meanwhile back on Remnant, we see Pyrrha is still in shock that she's alive.

Pyrrha: H-how am I alive?! How am I here?!

(F/N): Woah, woah, easy calm down. Okay, now what was the last thing you remember?

Pyrrha: *Takes a deep breath and exhales* The last I remember was fighting Cinder and…

(F/N): She shot an arrow through your chest?

Pyrrha: Yes…

(F/N): Hm, guess you must have had a boyfriend right?

Pyrrha: W-well I wouldn't say that but I-I trained him and- *sees the look (F/N) is giving her* Fine he was gonna be but-

(F/N): The arrow?

Pyrrha: Yes. So does that mean…

(F/N): Cinder is now the fall maiden, yes she is.

Pyrrha: Well that's just great.

(F/N): Too bad it was all Ozpin's fault in the first place.

Pyrrha: What do you mean?

(F/N): You'll learn in time, for now, my target is coming.

Pyrrha: And you need my help?

(F/N): You were the one who fought her before.  *Snaps fingers and summons Miló and Akoúo̱* You're gonna need these if your gonna duke it out, *pulls out a Ursa mask* And this, so you don't freak your friends.

Pyrrha: Thank you, but I never caught your name.

(F/N): (F/N) Fresa Romero, the famous weapons smith.

Pyrrha: Nice to meet you too. But why do you want Cinder?

(F/N): *Pulls out Midnight* It's for these, I need her soul to power these swords. It's for my client.

Pyrrha: I see. *Examines Milo and Akouo* Impressive work, just before.

(F/N): Yeah, but with one little feature to them.

Milo then glowed yellow as it shot lightning at a tree.

Pyrrha: You made them dust compatible?!

(F/N): Not exactly.

(F/N) explained to Pyrrha how she embedded the souls of Achilles and Zeus into her weapons, making them god-like and why she wanted Cinder.

Pyrrha: So that's why my weapons feel stronger.

(F/N): Exactly. Now hold still.

We then see (F/N) hold Pyrrha's hand as Pyrrha started glowing and then it died down.

Pyrrha: Woah, I feel energized. Did you-

(F/N): Give you a set of my powers, yep.

Pyrrha: Amazing. What's our next step?

(F/N): For now, we wait… So did you and this Jaune get it on?

Pyrrha: *Blushes redder than her hair* (F/N)!

(F/N): Whaat? It's a normal question, I fucked a lot of girls before I met Kim and Sienna. Did you at least use milo as a dildo? Or a one time fling with a girl?

Pyrrha: *Blushes* …I used the hilt once when no one was around because I was frustrated. Training my leader who faked his way to Beacon was hard okay?

(F/N): Hey there's no shame in using a weapon like a sex toy. Now here's my plan for tomorrow…

Time skip- (Volume 5 Ep13 Downfall and Episode 14 Haven's Fate)

Here we see After the opening, Ruby and Yang are shown facing off against Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black. The sisters switch positions and leap forward to take on their opponents. Yang knocks into Emerald while Ruby takes on Mercury. He uses Talaria to kick Crescent Rose out of her hands.

Mercury: *sarcastically* Uh oh, what're you gonna do now?

Mercury tries to throw a left cross, but gets pinned to the wall by Milo as everyone sees it's Pyrrha, (But they don't know it's her because of the mask).

Pyrrha: Whatever it takes to shut you up. *Uses her semblance to grab Crescent Rose and gives it to Ruby* Here.

Ruby: *Takes her weapon* Uhh, thanks, who are you?

Pyrrha: A friend here to help.

Meanwhile, Nora  is seen holding Magnhild up defensively protecting Jaune, who is still healing Weiss.

Nora: You guys doing okay?

Jaune: I- I think so. She's coming to. I just wish this would go faster.

Nora: How about you don't complain and just be thankful you unlocked your Semblance when you did.

Jaune: My Semblance?

Nora: How else do you think you're healing her, dummy?

Jaune stares back at her in disbelief before looking back down at Weiss.

Jaune: No. I don't think I'm healing her. Our Aura heals our bodies. It feels... it feels more like I'm using my Aura to amplify hers!

Nora: Wait, aren't you worried about running out?

Jaune: Pyrrha once told me I've got a lot of it. I still believe her.

Suddenly, Weiss opens up her eyes, stirring.

Weiss: Jaune?

Nora smiles before standing guard again. Meanwhile, Lie Ren is seen taking on Hazel Rainart, who punches the former back into the wall. Hazel then launches an electrical charge from his lightning-Dust enhanced arm, electrocuting Ren, causing him to scream in pain before falling to the ground.

Nora: REN!

Jaune: Go! I've got her!

Nora nods at him before proceeding forward.

Weiss: Jaune... What's happening?

Jaune: You took a heavy hit, you need to stay with me while the others fight.

Weiss: That's... *sighs* ... annoying.

Jaune: *smiling* Heh, good to have you back, Weiss.

Meanwhile, Qrow is seen getting knocked back into the wall and then falls to the ground next to the downed Ren, who struggles to get back up as well. Oscar Pine uses The Long Memory to block flaming rocks being fired from Stalwart as Pyrrha jumps in and shoulder charges Lionheart. Hazel charges forward and punches Oscar several feet back.

Hazel: Hiding behind the face of a child? A monster like you must be stopped!!

Nora charges at Hazel with a loud battle cry. She leaps into the air, but Hazel catches Magnhild and slams Nora into the ground. Hazel then grabs Nora's head, electrocuting her with his lightning Dust-enhanced arms. She screams out in pain.

Hazel: How many more children must die for you?!

Suddenly, Nora grabs Hazel's wrist.

Hazel: Huh?

Nora, inadvertently enhanced by Hazel's electricity thanks to her Semblance, stands back up and flips him over her shoulder. He rolls back several feet away. Nora then holds Magnhild up defensively, before Ozpin gets her attention.

Ozpin: *to Nora and Pyrrha* His Semblance... he can block out pain. It's how he is able to handle injecting so much Dust into his body.

Nora stares back at Hazel, who stands back up.

Nora: *darkly* I don't need him to hurt...

Hazel screams and charges forward again.

Nora: I just need him to GO DOWN!!

As Hazel nears her, Nora preps to swing Magnhild. She then swings her hammer right into Hazel's chest, her counterattack launching him through the wall and outside onto Haven Academy's quad. Adam Taurus and White Fang soldiers look on.

White Fang Soldier: *to Adam* What's going on in there?

Hazel: None of your concern...

Adam and his followers stare in amazement as they watch Hazel get back up. He then takes out a pair of red Dust crystals and stabs them into his arms. He lets out another roar as Ruby watches from inside the building. She then looks back to her friends and allies, all of them looking tired and worn out from the battle they've endured.

Adam: Stay focused! Our friends are almost done here.

Adam and his followers get back to work, but then they hear a voice call out to him.

Blake: ADAM!!

They all look up and see Blake Belladonna standing proudly on top of the roof of a nearby building.

Adam: Blake?

Hazel: Who is that?

Blake: Stand down!

The White Fang soldiers aim their firearms at her.

Adam: Wait! (putting his hands up as the White Fang soldiers stand down, before laughing evilly) To think that I went through so much trouble to find you, only to have you deliver yourself to me.

Blake: This isn't what's right for the Faunus! Stop what you're doing and we can end this peacefully.

Adam: You're wrong, Blake, and you can't stop us.

Blake: No, I can't. Not by myself.

Sun: That's why she didn't come alone!

Adam and his followers turn to the left in surprise, seeing Sun Wukong standing in front of a massive legion of Faunus all armed with blunt weapons, their shields bearing the old White Fang symbol.

Adam: What?!

White Fang Soldier: Who's there?

They then turn to the right, and see Ghira Belladonna leading another massive legion of Faunus.

Ghira: Your brothers and sisters.

One of the White Fang Soldiers lowers his weapon, recognizing one of the Faunus in the crowd.

White Fang Soldier: M-- Mata?

Mata is seen in the crowd holding a club and shield.

Mata: (pleading) Please... stop this...

Adam and his followers look all around them assessing the situation.

Adam: Make no mistake, brothers! These are our enemies! And we will not let them ruin--

Suddenly, Adam is interrupted when a Mistral airship shines its searchlight down on Adam and his group. The Mistral police captain is seen on the airship with Kali Belladonna.

Mistral Police Captain: *over P.A.* Adam Taurus, this is the Mistral Police Force! Lower your weapons and surrender peacefully.

More Mistral airships arrive. Back inside, Ruby knocks Emerald back a few feet. Emerald then hears the sounds of the Mistral airships as their searchlights shine through the windows. Everyone stops what they are doing. Weiss leans up as Jaune continues healing her.

Weiss: What's happening?

Jaune: I'm not sure. How are you feeling?

Weiss: *sitting back up* Better. *Weiss activates a summoning Glyph in her hand* Much better. Keep it up.

Back outside, Blake lands to the ground from the roof.

Adam: How?! How did you do this?!!

Blake: Adam, it's over.

Adam looks around as the crowds of Menagerie Faunus get closer to him and his group. He then pulls out a detonator.

Adam: Then it's over for all of us.

Female White Fang Soldier: Hey wait!

Adam's followers hold up their arms as they brace for the impending explosion. Adam presses the button, but nothing happens.

Adam: Huh?

He presses the detonator button a few more times, nothing happens.

White Fang Soldier: What are you doing? Trying to get us all killed?!

Suddenly, Adam grabs his collar.

Adam: *enraged* I am making humanity pay for WHAT THEY'VE DONE!!

Adam let's go and pushes the White Fang soldier back when Blake speaks.

Blake: We sent someone over to confirm your explosives, and once we did, she disarmed them.

Ilia Amitola walks out from around the tower, dropping her black camouflage as she holds the wires in her hand that disabled the bombs. Adam seethes, realizing that the situation is no longer in his favor.

Adam: *turning to Hazel* What do we do?!

Hazel: *cracking his knuckles* This... is your business. Not mine. Fix it.

Adam just glares back at him before turning to Blake.

Blake: I told you, Adam. It's over...

Adam, not having any of it, yells out in frustration and charges forward toward Blake. He takes out Wilt from Blush to slash at her, but Blake uses her Semblance to get out of the way and she knocks him down by balling her fists together and hitting his back. Adam falls to the ground on his knees, before yelling out to his followers.

Adam: KILL THEM!!!

Adam gets punched as he sees Pyrrha (in the Ursa mask) towering over him.

Pyrrha: (F/N) was right, you are an edgelord.

Enraged Adam got up and tried to punch Pyrrha but she dodged it and kicked him in the shins as she leaped next to Blake.

And thus, the battle between both Faunus groups begins. The White Fang soldiers draw their weapons and attempt to fire at the Mistral airships.

Sun leaps around twirling Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in its staff form, landing on one's shoulders to shoot them.

A Faunus with a club battles one soldier, while Ilia fights two more with Lightning Lash.

Sun knocks another down before shooting at a second, nearby a horned Faunus strikes her opponent and drives them back.

Hazel observes the situation in front of him but is then suddenly impaled by a white, glowing stinger. He is then pulled back inside the building and sits up to see that Weiss is back on her feet with a summoned Queen Lancer flying above her. As she prepares to fight again, she gasps as she notices someone entering the building. Yang and Ruby look back as well and gasp when they see Blake, her eyes widening as she sees all of her teammates in the same place.

Blake: Yang?

Yang stares back at her in disbelief, before her sister snaps her out of her trance.

Ruby: Yang! Go! *pointing in the direction of the vault entrance*

Yang runs forward. Emerald and Mercury try to stop her.

Emerald: No!

Emerald tries to stop Yang, but fails to and falls to the ground. Mercury grabs her prosthetic arm. Yang's eyes briefly turn red before turning back to normal.

She detaches her arm and continues forward, causing Mercury to lose his balance for a bit. She jumps down the hole leading to the vault.

Emerald and Mercury attempt to give chase, but they are stopped by an ice wall that suddenly appears in front of them. They turn around and see Weiss with her Queen Lancer summon as she prepares to fight the both of them as they get pinned by Pyrrha by her polarity.

Emerald: Who is this girl?!

Jaune watches from his position and smiles. Ruby then turns back around to look at Blake, and both nod at each other as the cat Faunus goes back outside to join the battle.

Back down in the vault, Cinder Fall looks to the motionless Vernal.

Cinder: Vernal was a decoy the whole time. *turning her attention back to Raven Branwen* The last Spring Maiden must've trusted you a great deal before she died. I bet that was a mistake...

Raven growls and shoots Omen out of her hilt, and the two Maidens begin their battle against each other. They strike at each other with a flurry of vicious sword strikes. The two eventually clash, the strike breaking her weapon and the shrapnel hurting her Grimm arm. She holds her arm in pain.

Raven: Aura can't protect your arm, it's Grimm.

Cinder pulls the shrapnel out of her arm and faces Raven again.

Raven: You turned yourself into a monster just for power.

Cinder: *conjuring another weapon while glaring* Look who's talking...

The two proceed forward to clash again. During their bout, Raven quickly switches between the various colored blades in her hilt to counter Cinder's various weapons that she conjures. As their battle intensifies, Cinder conjures a giant flaming sword while Raven uses her Maiden powers to create a massive ice sword. Their clash creates a massive shockwave that shakes the cavern, with the combatants above ground also feeling the tremors. Due to their battle, the giant stalactites hanging from above start to drop. Both Maidens jump back to dodge out of the way. As Raven prepares for her next strike, Cinder's Grimm arm elongates through the dust and grabs Raven's neck. As the Grimm arm slowly drains her powers, Raven notices something and smirks. She sends out a frost-like attack from her palm and freezes Cinder's feet in place as more boulders from the cave in crash down on her. Raven, now free from her grip, does a massive leap into the air and lands on top of one of the falling stalactites. She looks down and notices Cinder survived the cave in, using her fire powers to fly up to her. The two fight their way around the falling stalactites. Eventually, the stalactites land back on the ground, and both Maidens are on their knees, panting in exhaustion while their Auras shimmer as they are about to break.

Raven: (standing back up) Had enough yet?

Cinder: Shut up!

Raven: If you were stronger or more clever, then maybe... you'd remember to watch your back!

Cinder glares at her, wondering what the Spring Maiden is talking about, but then gasps as she looks behind her. She notices the dying Vernal aiming one of her weapons at her and fires. Cinder blocks the attack, as Raven was about to strike until (F/N) rushed in and grabbed Cinder as she then upper cutted with Gilgamesh so hard she went back up to Havan in the room where everyone saw her.

Raven: What the- who are you?!

(F/N): No one you need to know.

(F/N) then used some of her energy as she brought Vernal back to life and healed her wound.

Vernal: *Gasps* I'm alive? H-how?!

(F/N): You're welcome.

(F/N) teleported to where Cinder was, leaving Raven and Vernal in confusion.

Vernal: Who was that?

Meanwhile we see (F/N) on the other side of the room and Cinder too.

(F/N): The infamous Cinder, so nice to finally meet you.

Cinder: Not that I'm grateful but who are you?

(F/N): Someone you should be very scared of.

Cinder: Like I'm gonna be scared of a  possum child.

(F/N): I'm not a possum!

(F/N) then levitated everyone, except for Pyrrha as she forced them all to take a seat, as Pyrrha walked by her side.

Blake: Who are they?

Weiss: I don't know, but thank oum they're on our side. I think.

Ruby: We don't know anything about these guys. But why does she look like a possum?

(F/N): *Off-screen* I'm not a possum!

Cinder: So you want the power of the maidens too huh?

(F/N) chuckles then started laughing which confused everyone, except Pyrrha.

(F/N): Oho, that's-that's *laughs* Ahhh, why the hell would I want your powers, when I could do this.

(F/N) raised her foot and stomped, shaking the entire planet as everyone felt it and was surprised by this.

Mercury: Wh-what the hell?

Emerald: *in shock* …She's stronger than Cinder.

Cinder: *in her head* She's beyond a maiden, if I have her power…

(F/N): *Pulls out Midnight* And I want you, because I need your soul for my weapon.

Cinder: And you want me to fight you.

(F/N): *Chuckles* Oh no no,  you got it all wrong, I'm not the one you're gonna be fighting, you're gonna be fighting an old "friend" of yours.

Everyone was confused by what (F/N) meant by that.

Cinder: Then who am I gonna fight?

(F/N): *To Pyrrha* Do it.

Pyrrha then took off her mask as everyone was shocked to see her alive.

Pyrrha: Hello again.

Ozpin: M-Ms. Nikos?

JNR and RWB: Pyrrha?!

Emerald: *in shock* No…way…

Mercury: Th-that's impossible!

Cinder: How?! I killed her!

(F/N): Well she's back now. Pyrrha, you know what to do.

Pyrrha nods, as she unsheathes Milo and Akuou and charges at Cinder as They strike at each other with a flurry of vicious sword strikes. The two eventually clash, the strike breaking her weapon and the burning shrapnel hurting her Grimm arm. She holds her arm in pain.

Pyrrha: A Grimm arm? You know aura can't protect your arm.

Cinder pulls the shrapnel out of her arm and faces Pyrrha again.

Pyrrha: You turned yourself into a monster and for what? For power?

Cinder: Shut up!

The two proceed forward to clash again. During their bout, Pyrrha quickly switches between the various colored blades in her hilt to counter Cinder's various weapons that she conjures.

As their battle intensifies, Cinder conjures a giant flaming sword while Pyrrha uses her new powers (thanks to (F/N) ) to create a massive ice sword.

Their clash creates a massive shockwave that shakes the cavern, with the combatants above ground also feeling the tremors. Due to their battle, the giant ceiling beams hanging from above start to drop. Both Cinder and Pyrrha jump back to dodge out of the way.

As Pyrrha prepares for her next strike, Cinder's Grimm arm elongates through the dust and grabs Pyrrha's neck. As the Grimm arm slowly drains her powers, Pyrrha notices something and smirks. She sends out a frost-like attack from her palm and freezes Cinder's feet in place as Pyrrha summons more boulders and makes them crash down on Cinder.

Pyrrha, now free from her grip, makes a massive leap into the air and lands on top of one of the stalactites summoned by (F/N).

She looks down and notices Cinder survived the cave in, using her fire powers to fly up to her. The two fight their way around the falling debris.

Eventually, the stalactites land back on the ground, and both Cinder and Pyrrha are on their knees, panting in exhaustion while their Auras shimmer as they are about to break but Pyrrha's aura heals up.

Pyrrha: *Standing back up* Had enough yet?

Cinder: Shut up!

Pyrrha: If you were stronger or more clever, then maybe.. you'd remember to watch your back!

Cinder glares at her, wondering what the Invincible Warrior is talking about, until she was stabbed by (F/N) Rebellion as her body glowed amber and she became Midnight as (F/N) took them.

(F/N): Huh, neat.

Meanwhile we see Raven is confronted by Yang.

Raven: I warned you, Yang. I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Qrow and Oz. So you can believe me when I say this wasn't personal.

Yang: (glaring) You opened the vault.

Raven: Thanks to the chaos you and your friends caused upstairs. I knew you could handle it. You're my daughter after all.

Yang: Qrow and Oz told me how the Maiden powers are transferred. The girl you found... she would've had to have trusted you if you were in her final thoughts - cared about you a lot.

Raven: I'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed.

Yang: No, I'm starting to ask questions like you said. So tell me... what happened to the last Spring Maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness?

Raven: What does it matter to you?

Yang: (eyes widening) I can already see the answer. It's all over your face. How could you?!

Raven: She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for this world! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did--

Yang: (quoting her mother) "Wasn't personal."

Raven: It was mercy!

Yang: Which is it, mom? Are you merciful, or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into that trap because you knew I could handle it, or because it meant you could get what you wanted?!

Raven: It's not that simple. You don't know me, you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make!

Yang: You're right. I don't know you. I only know the Raven dad told me about. She was troubled, and complicated, but she fought for what she believed in, whether it was her team or her tribe! Did you kill her too?

Raven eyes widen and looks away, before turning back to face her daughter again.

Raven: I've stared death in the face over and over again! (in her anger, her Maiden powers activate) And every time I've spat in that face and survived, because I'm strong enough to do what others won't!!

Yang: Oh, shut up!! You don't know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself!! *she balls her hand into a fist which shakes before pointing at Raven* You might be powerful, but that doesn't make you strong.

Raven: *enraged* Who do you think you are, lecturing me?! Standing there, shaking like a scared little girl?!

Clone (F/N): *Appears beside Yang* Blondie is right, she has more cajones than you do, you prissy little bird.

Yang: Ah! Y-Your that girl!

Clone (F/N): Yeah, (F/N) nice to meet you.  And like I said, your kid's right Raven,  she's scared, and you're not strong, you're a coward.

Yang:  (F/N) is right, I'm scared. But I'm still standing here! *begins approaching Raven* I'm not like you, I won't run, which is why you're going to give me the Relic.

Raven: And why would I--

Clone (F/N): Because you're afraid of Salem ya dumb bitch!!!

Yang: And if you thought having Maiden powers put a target on your back, imagine what she'll do when she finds out you have a Relic. *Raven turns away, seething* She'll come after you with everything she has. *Raven's expression then turns solemn* Or she can come after me. *Raven's eyes widen when she hears her daughter say that, before turning back to her.* And I'll be standing there, waiting for her.

After a tense moment, Raven deactivates her Maiden powers.

Raven: *somber* You don't want to do this, Yang.

Clone (F/N): She doesn't, but she has to.

Yang: Yeah, I'm gonna do it anyways

Vernal: They're  right, you used me as cannon fodder, and for what? Just to show you're stronger? You're not some big shot huntress Raven, you're a coward.

Yang walks forward, bumping her mother out of the way as she passes her. Raven looks down before turning to see her daughter approach the Relic chamber. A tear drips from Raven's eye.

Raven: I... *holding her arm as tears well up in her eyes* I'm sorry...

Tears well up in Yang's eyes as well.

Yang: Yeah... Me too.

Yang then hears the sound of one of Raven's portals as well as the sound of flapping wings from behind her. She looks behind her and sees a black feather fall gently to the ground. Yang then proceeds forward and enters the Relic chamber.

She approaches the Relic of Knowledge - an ornate, gold and cyan lamp - as it rests on the stone pedestal. Yang grabs the Relic by its handle, and small, indistinct whispers can be heard when near it. Tears then stream from Yang's eyes, before she falls to her knees as she breaks down crying as Clone (F/N) and Vernal comforted her.

Clone (F/N): You got what you came here for. And so did I too.

Yang: *sniffes* What do you mean?

Clone (F/N): You'll find out.

Back above ground, Lionheart bursts into his office and runs behind his desk, frantically opening drawers trying to look for something. Suddenly, he hears ominous clicking noises, and looks up to notice a Seer floating menacingly in front of his desk. A familiar voice comes from it.

Salem: And where might you be going?

Lionheart: *stammering* Uh, your grace! *nervously chuckling* I was just looking for something.

Salem: Leonardo, do you have something you wish to tell me?

Lionheart doesn't say anything for a bit, before telling Salem his response.

Lionheart: It was Cinder! She altered the plan! Huntsmen showed up here! Qrow! Several students, one with the Silver Eyes! The White Fang attack was stopped! *stammering* I don't know if they'll be able to recover the Relic… *beat* Your grace, I can still be of assistance!! If I leave now, I-- I can avoid the authorities and come find you, I'll do whatever it takes! *another beat* Your grace?

Out of options, Lionheart aims his weapon at the Seer, but it uses one of its tentacles to knock it off his wrist. Lionheart tries to run, but the Seer wraps one of its tentacles around Lionheart's ankle, causing him to trip and fall.

Lionheart: *begging pathetically* Please, ma'am! I'll do anything! I can still be useful!!

The Seer aims its sharp tentacles at Lionheart. He tries to crawl away, but more tentacles wrap around his body.

Lionheart: Please!! PLEEEAAASE!!!!

Despite his pleas, Lionheart is dragged towards the Seer offscreen. The sound of a stab can be heard.

Lionheart: *weakly* Please...

Lionheart's dying breath can be heard as another stab is heard as well.

In the Land of Darkness, Salem herself stares at the Seer in front of her on the table, leaning her head on her hand in disappointment.

Salem: Coward…

Salem then feels the shake which surprises her.

Salem: What was that?

Back at Haven, Oscar is seen bracing himself on his cane near an exhausted Qrow while Ruby and her friends hold off their opponents, who are all exhausted as well.

Ruby: That's enough! Just give up.

Mercury snarls and yells in frustration, slamming his fist into the ground.

(F/N): Now to finish the job.

Everyone sees black and orange tendrils come out of the sword as they latch onto Cinder.

Cinder: *Being grabbed* Wh-what are you doing!? Stop! No! How dare you do this to me!? This will not stand!!  AHHHHHH…!!!

Everyone sees Cinder get dragged into Midnight as Cinder's emblem appears on them and glows orange which shocked everyone.

Qrow: Woah…

Everyone then sees the platform leading to the vault is heard coming back up. Everyone stares as Yang and Vernal come back up with the Relic of Knowledge in Yang's hand. All of Yang's friends look up to her and smile.

Ruby: Yang…

Hazel seethes while tears stream from Emerald's eyes. Yang smiles back down to her friends and shares a brief glance with Blake, who looks down for a bit before looking back up to her. Emerald falls to her knees and begins to sob. Mercury and Hazel slowly back away.

Mercury: Emerald, get up, we need to go.

Emerald shakes her head and remains stationary.

Mercury: Emerald!

Emerald looks around as her breathing gets frantic. She holds her head and lets out a loud scream, activating her Semblance. Suddenly, the room turns dark as black smoke rises from the ground nearby.

From it, a giant effigy of Salem, limbs bent and deformed, towers above everyone in the room.

The giant Salem opens her eyes, and lets out an ear-piercing scream as it swoops down over everyone.

The screen goes black for a moment. Afterwards, everything returns to normal,

Ruby shakes in fear as she comes to terms with what she had just witnessed. Everyone in the room is still present, with the exception of Emerald, Mercury and Hazel, who have disappeared.

Blake: Wha-- what was that?

Ozpin: An illusion. But an accurate one. That... was Salem.

(F/N): …Well that was a thing.

Outside, Hazel is seen running and carrying an unconscious Emerald over his shoulder, with Mercury following not too far behind him. Up in the tree branches, Adam watches his allies run, before he too leaves.

Back at Haven, Blake sighs in relief now that the battle is over, before she hears the sounds of her parents and Sun run into the great hall. The Belladonnas share a hug together while Sun looks on.

Kali: The police rounded up the remaining White Fang members. Haven is safe.

Ghira: Unfortunately, it appears that Adam escaped.

They all look down.

Ilia: It's okay. *walking into the building* He was the only one to escape tonight. Those in the White Fang that followed him? Won't support a leader that abandons his people. He won't have their help after this. He'll have no one at all. And the White Fang will be left divided.

Ghira: We've been fighting amongst ourselves for too long. Perhaps it's time for a new brotherhood. A new family for Faunus truly working towards a better world.

Kali: And they'll need a new leader.

Ghira nods in acknowledgement. Sun peeks behind Ghira and notices his old friends from Beacon, waving to them. He then wraps his tail around Blake to turn her around and have her see her old friends too. She slowly walks towards them nervously while Sun and her parents smile. Yang walks down the stairs and hands the Relic to her uncle.

Qrow: What happened?

Yang: I don't know exactly. When I got down there, Cinder was gone, and Vernal was somehow alive.

Vernal: Hey.

Qrow: You didn't follow my sister?

Vernal: She used me as a human shield, what do you think?

Qrow: Fair enough.

Qrow: Well, we're all glad you're still here, firecracker. *placing an assuring hand on her shoulder*

Suddenly, Ruby groans and falls to her knees. Weiss catches her.

Weiss: Are you okay?

Ruby: *sighing* I feel like I should be asking you guys.

They both look up to see Blake approaching them. Yang walks over and drops to her sister's side.

Ruby: So Blake, what're you doing here?

Blake: I... I was gonna ask you three the same thing.

Ruby, Weiss, and Yang, share glances with each other.

Ruby: That's... a looooong story.

Blake: Well... I'm not going anywhere.

Ruby: That's all that matters. *giggling* That we're all here together. Right?

Ruby looks to Yang as she says that. Blake briefly looks away with a sorrowful expression on her face. Yang looks up at her and smiles.

Yang: Yeah.

Blake looks back over to them and smiles. Weiss offers a hand out to her, and the cat Faunus eagerly joins in to Team RWBY's first group hug after a long time of being apart. The four girls embrace each other while their friends look on smiling.

Qrow, still holding the Relic, then approaches a panting Oscar, who is kneeling on the ground.

Qrow: I don't know how, but we did it, Oz. You okay?

Oscar: I'm alright.

Qrow: Kid?

Oscar: He's resting. Too much energy fighting.

Qrow: Hey, don't strain yourself!

Oscar: No! He had... a message… *taking a few more pants* We must... get the Lamp to... Atlas.

Oscar groans and falls, but Qrow catches him. He lays the exhausted farm boy on the ground and looks over as Team RWBY and Pyrrha finish their embrace.

Qrow then stands back up, and looks to the Relic he holds in his hand. The lamp is seen glowing brightly as the indistinct whispers are heard again.

(F/N): Well this is a happy moment, so I'll be, *is met by Weiss's Myrtenaster* Woah…

Weiss: Now would be a good time for an explanation.

(F/N): Wow, nice rapier, but…

(F/N) pulls out her demonic Myrtenaster and points at Weiss much to everyone's shock.

(F/N): Mine is better.

Weiss: Okay enough! Who are you? Or what are you?

(F/N): *While walking around Weiss* I'm just an innocent little girl lost in Wonderland, suffering at the hands of the queen's trumped-up troops!

Qrow: *Sarcastically* Cute, but talk, who are you? And what did you do with Cinder?

(F/N): Okay my name is (F/N) Bianca Redgrave, I come from Earth, and I turned Cinder into a devil arm, which is the  manifestation of a defeated Demon's soul or power. Or in this case, an evil person's soul.

Ozpin: I see, and what are you doing here on Remnant?

(F/N): My girlfriend wants new weapons and it just so happens that your planet has some bad people, and I'm helping by getting rid of them.

Everyone (Except for Oz): What?!

Yang: You're saying… you're from another planet?

Weiss: Why is that hard to believe?

(F/N): You all have superpowers that would be considered impossible where I'm from  *points to Blake*she has cat ears, *points to Ozpin* And he has two souls. Why is that so hard to believe?

Yang: Fair enough.

Nora: *To Ren and Jaune* Is it weird that this (F/N) girl sounds like Yang?

Juane: You noticed it too?

Ozpin: So that is your mission?

(F/N): Yep, making weapons for my girlfriend.

Ruby: You make weapons?!

Weiss: Ruby come on, like (F/N) could make a weapon.

(F/N): Hey I did, and this is my first one I call Tarus, *pulls out wilt and Blush*.

Blake: That's- how did you get Adam's weapon?

(F/N): I kicked his ass, and took him down with his weapon and embedded his own soul into it.

Qrow: You're joking right?

In response, (F/N) activated Moonslice and sliced that pillar as it split in half as everyone was shocked to see (F/N) used Adam's semblance.

Yang: Dang…

(F/N): Does that answer your question?

Qrow: Yeah his soul is definitely in there.

Ruby: And I'm guessing you did the same to Cinder huh?

(F/N): Yep and I got what I wanted, *Raises Midnight*

Blake: And you were the one who bought back Pyrrha and Vernal?

(F/N): Yes I did.

Ren: But why?

(F/N): Because those two are nice together, that and Nikos needed to be with her man.

Pyrrha: *Blushes* (F/N)!

(F/N): Hey you know it's true.

Qrow: Eh, that's understandable.

Jaune: Well the important thing is, Pyrrha is back.

Ozpin: Yes, now (F/N) can you-

(F/N): I'm not gonna transfer the maiden powers to Pyrrha alright? You already have that relic-thing, do you really want an even bigger target on your back?

Qrow: Kid makes a good point.

Ozpin: But-

(F/N): No, buts. You got what you wanted, I got what I wanted. Pyrrha I trust you'll be in good hands then right?

Pyrrha: Yes, and thank you for bringing me back.

(F/N): Anytime.

Vernal: And me too.

Ruby: So you're coming with us?

Vernal: Oh hell no, after what just happened I am not going with you guys, this is your mission not mine.

(F/N): Then how would you like to come to Earth, there's no Grimm there.

Vernal: Hmm, alright I'm in.

(F/N): Cool.

In a flash of light (F/N) sent Vernal to earth at Kim's house.

Weiss: Where did you send her?

(F/N): Somewhere safe.

Ruby: So what are you gonna do now?

(F/N): Gonna get a jump on my next target.

Yang: Oh? And who's that?

(F/N): James Ironwood.

Everyone: What?!

Weiss: But why? He's an ally, why would you turn him into a weapon?

(F/N): *Was* an ally, now if you excuse me, I got business to do *summons a red glyph goes on it*

(F/N) then leaves, as everyone was surprised by this.

Ruby: You think we'll see her again?

Weiss: We'll see Ruby, we'll see.

Blake: So is no one gonna point out that she sounded exactly like Yang?

The camera then fades to black as the portal closes.
