It's been a week since (F/N) and the others fought ITuckerwood and won, turning the former general into his weapon, Due Process.

Here on Earth it was Paulina's birthday and (F/N)'s birthday too as we see the trio come into the house.

Danny: Hey Paulina, happy birthday!

Tucker: Happy birthday girl!

Sam: I only came here because they forced me too.

Sienna and Vernal: Happy birthday Paulina.

Paulina: Thanks everyone, but it won't be the same without (F/N).

Sam: Speaking of which, what is she doing out there?

Danny: Hopefully kicking alien butt, and winning.

Tucker: I'm sure she's doing fine, so when's the party.

Paulina: Tucker please now's not the time for parties, but if you must know it's gonna be at the country club where my last birthday was, minus the movie monsters.

Sam: You're not gonna let that go?

Paulina: You almost got me killed on my birthday! What do you think?!

Sam: *Backs Up* Okay, okay.

Vernal: Oum, you are one messed up teenager.

Sienna: And I thought discrimination was bad.

Danny: I sure hope (F/N) knows what she's doing.

Meanwhile back on Remnant, we see a portal open under Atlas Academy in the chambers as we see (F/N) and the team come out of it.

(F/N): Alright it's the moment we've all been waiting for.

Hazel: What moment?

(F/N): The moment where we take down Salem, duh.

Amber: And do you have a plan on how to take down Salem?

Hazel: It's impossible to take her down, nothing can stop her.

(F/N): Nothing except yours truly and Summer.

Hazel: Why would, *remembers* Oh, silver eyes.

(F/N): Exactly.

Clover: And do we have a plan?

(F/N): Yeah, kick her ass, turn her into a weapon, boom, simple.

Amber: So, winging it then?

(F/N): Pretty much.

Summer: But is there an actual plan?

(F/N): Okay yes, there is, we just let the events play out like they originally do. And when the time is right, we crush them.

Clover: Hm, sounds good to me.

Hazel: Agreed.

Timeskip- (Volume 8 Episode 14: The Final Word)

Here in the pocket dimension, Cinder Fall and Penny Polendina fly at each other, using their respective Maiden powers to clash. They fly around as people continue to run towards the portal leading to Vacuo.

Cinder launches a fireball hitting Penny in the back. She then tries to use her Grimm arm to grab Penny, but a Queen Lancer summoned by Weiss Schnee is shown to fly by and get Penny out of the way. Nora and Pyrrha watch the crowd of people running for the Vacuo portal.

Jaune: Priority one.

Nora looks back to her leader and they exchange nods, continuing with the evacuation.

Back on the Queen Lancer summon...

Penny: Weiss, all she ever wanted was the Maiden power. I can buy you all time.

Weiss: But, Penny...

Suddenly, Weiss is struck in the back by a fireball, causing her Queen Lancer summon to disappear. They fall onto one of the platforms, both of their Auras flicker. Cinder lands nearby and smirks evilly. Penny gasps as Cinder looks to Weiss, the Staff of Creation next to her. Penny suddenly gets up and blocks her path.

Penny: I'm right here! I'm what you want!

Cinder: I want it all...

Cinder launches herself forward, but suddenly is kicked in the face by Blake Belladonna, pushed back some distance away from them. Blake then looks to Weiss.

Blake: Get up!

Weiss does so, grabbing Myrtenaster and the Staff. She then runs off as Blake and Penny face Cinder, their weapons at the ready.

On the Atlas cargo ship carrying the bomb, Qrow Branwen and Harriet Bree continue their fight. Harriet kicks Qrow into the wall, who groans in pain.

Qrow: You're making a mistake, Harriet! What happened to Clover, I blame--

Harriet: *growls* Shut up ALREADY!!

Harriet then turns around and uses her speed Semblance to cut the straps holding the bomb in place, and then jumping to tilt the airship. The bomb starts to slide towards the open cargo door, and Qrow jumps in fTuckert of it, trying to hold it in place.

Harriet: Get out of the way!

Suddenly, the ship jolts. Qrow and Harriet look behind them, and notice the other cargo ship being piloted by Robyn Hill behind them. Vine Zeki uses his Semblance to hold Harriet's ship in place, being supported by Elm Ederne, using her Semblance to hold them both on top the ship they're on.

Elm: Hare, please! Don't do this! They're still evacuating in Mantle!

Harriet: Why can't you just let me do my job?!

Elm: Because you're our friend! And we won't let you go through with this!

Harriet is taken aback and lowers her head upon hearing these words. The bomb begins to slide forward more, and Qrow shoved out of its way.

Qrow: No!

Qrow takes out Clover's pin and closes his eyes somberly. The Ace Ops watch in shock as the bomb begins to near the edge of the ramp. Suddenly, it stops, and Qrow and the Ace Ops breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the screen on the bomb says, "INITIATE COUNTDOWN" with the prompt for "YES" being highlighted. Qrow and Harriet look at each other in disbelief.

Back at Atlas Central Command, Arthur Watts smirks after pressing the button for the bomb.

Back in the pocket dimension, Ruby Rose continues to fight Neopolitan. Neo eventually kicks Ruby to the ground, causing her Aura to flicker. Neo slowly approaches Ruby threateningly.

Weiss: Leave her alone!

Weiss slides in using her glyphs, using the Staff to knock Neo through a portal. Cinder notices this, and angrily launches flame torrents to hold back Penny and Blake. Cinder than kicks Blake off the platform.

Penny: Blake! *flies towards Blake*

Meanwhile, Weiss helps Ruby back up.

Weiss: Come on, we have to do this for Yang.

Cinder smirks. The ground begins to glow beneath Ruby and Weiss. The latter notices this and pushes Ruby back, simultaneously shoving the Staff into her hands.

Ruby: No!

An explosion goes off, knocking Ruby back. Weiss is launched up into the air before landing hard on the ground, her Aura breaking in the process. Suddenly, Neo reappears. She trades blows with Ruby, managing to snatch away the Staff as she knocks her off the platform. Ruby manages to land on one of the walkways, but helplessly watches Crescent Rose slide over the edge.

Ruby: No!!

Ruby watches her weapon fall into the abyss. She looks back to Neo, who glares back at her.

Ruby watches her weapon fall into the abyss. She looks back to Neo, who glares back at her.

On the cargo ship, the bomb starts to count down thirty seconds.

Qrow: The autopilot's locked! We gotta go!

Harriet: (falling to her knees) There's no time to make it out of the blast range... I've... killed us all... I'm sorry...

Vine uses his Semblance to reach the ship, and then uses it again to place Harriet in Elm's arms. Vine looks to bomb and ponders.

Elm: No... you can't!

Vine: (smiling sadly) I can... if it means saving all my friends.

Harriet realizes what Vine is about to do.

Harriet: NO!!!

Harriet tries to reach out for Vine, as Elm takes her inside Robyn's ship. Qrow and Vine solemnly acknowledge each other, before Qrow jumps out from the ship and transforms into his corvid form to fly away. Vine uses his Semblance, creating a barrier around the ship as the bomb continues to count down. The timer goes off, and the contained explosion causes the Vine's Aura barrier to disappear. A cloud of smoke is left in its wake as Robyn, Elm and Harriet look on sadly. Robyn begins to fly the ship away from Atlas.

Back in the pocket dimension...

Ruby: Whatever you wanted...

Ruby looks over her shoulder as she nears the edge of the walkway, before facing Neo again.

Ruby: I hope it was worth it.

Ruby spreads her arms wide, offering herself as a target. Neo extends Hush's blade as she prepares to go for the kill. She lunges, but Ruby deliberately falls backward before the blade can hit her; she then uses her Semblance to circle under the path, come up behind Neo and knock her over the edge, disarming her in the process. Ruby tries to catch the Staff, but Cinder launches a fire blast into her back, breaking her Aura and knocking her off the path. Ruby catches onto Neo's ankle, the former hanging from the edge of the path. Cinder grabs the Staff and approaches them. Neo reaches out to her, but Cinder's Grimm arm reaches past, grabbing the Lamp from Neo's belt.

Cinder: You should have never threatened me...

Neo looks up at her in anger as Cinder kicks Hush over the edge, into the abyss. Cinder's smirk turns to a glare as she looks from Neo to Ruby.

Cinder: And you... *Ruby tries to activate her Silver Eyes* should have never been born...

Cinder uses the Staff to smash Neo's hand, causing her to lose her grip and fall. Ruby starts to fall with her.

Blake & Penny: RUBY!!!

Penny flies in carrying Blake. Blake is thrown forward as Penny is knocked back by Cinder's fireball. Blake manages to grab Ruby. She uses Gambol Shroud to hook onto the platform. The two try to swing back up, but Cinder launches another fire jet that burns through Gambol Shroud's ribbon. Ruby and Blake fall and disappear into the abyss. Penny looks on, distraught.

Penny: No!

Cinder prepares to attack Penny again, but is struck by Dust rounds.

Weiss: Get back!!

Weiss holds Gambol Shroud in its pistol form, firing shots at Cinder as tears stream down her face. Jaune parachutes to Nora.

Jaune: May, Joanna, any Huntsmen that went through that gate, bring 'em here!

They shake hands as Nora heads through the Vacuo portal. Weiss is seen getting knocked back as Cinder hovers above her.

Cinder: It figures that a Schnee would be the last one standing, letting all her friends die first.

Cinder spews a fire breath attack, but Penny flies in and blocks the attack with her Maiden swords.

Penny: You wouldn't know anything about friends...

Cinder tries to attack again, but Jaune arrives and knocks her back using the gravity Dust in Crocea Mors' shield. Jaune, Penny, and Weiss (dual wielding Myrtenaster and Gambol Shroud's katana), ready themselves to face Cinder again. Cinder gets back up, but suddenly her Grimm arm starts to act up.

Cinder: She's back...

Cinder creates a shockwave to knock the trio of teens back, and then launches two flame swords that Penny blocks easily. Suddenly, Cinder creates flames in a V shape, separating Jaune, Penny and Weiss. Penny looks to her friends, but suddenly screams out in pain. She looks down and notices Cinder's Grimm arm impaling her chest and starting to drain her Maiden powers. Penny notices Weiss jumping in to fight Cinder again before falling over. She starts to lose consciousness from blood loss. Jaune comes into her view.

Jaune: Penny! Hold on! (activates his Semblance to boost Penny's Aura) My Semblance--

Penny: No... there's not enough time to heal me...

Jaune notices Weiss and Cinder still fighting behind him.

Penny: She can't get the Staff and the power... but there is something you can do...

Jaune: *taken aback* I don't know where the others are, but... Weiss will give us time!

The scenes intercut between the two Schnee sisters fighting their respective battles: Weiss against Cinder and Winter against ITuckerwood.

Penny: Let me choose... this one thing... trust me...!

As the Schnee sisters continue their battles, Jaune draws his sword, his tormented expression reflected on the blade. Cinder knocks away Gambol Shroud and Weiss watches it fall into the abyss, before being knocked to the ground by Cinder.

In the Atlas Vault, ITuckerwood lands a devastating blow on Winter, causing her Aura to dissipate.

Cinder prepares to finish Weiss, but freezes when she hears Jaune scream out in anguish, her expression shocked. Jaune is seen standing over Penny's body as his tears drip to the floor. Her blood drips from his crimson-stained blade. The scene fades to white.

In a white space, Penny taps her toes patiently. She then smiles as she notices someone.

Penny: (saluting) Salutations! You made it!

Winter is seen entering the white space.

Winter: Where...? What is this?

Penny: I thought of you... and here we are.

Winter: (gasps in realization) Oh, Penny...

Penny: It seemed fitting that it should be you. It was your power after all.

Winter: No, Penny. You were always the real Maiden at heart. I was just a machine... just... following orders.

Penny takes Winter's hands.

Penny: You were my friend.

Aura is shown as Penny transfers the Maiden powers to Winter.

Winter: *smiling* Thank you... for trusting me with this. When you're... gone...

Penny: I won't be gone, I'll be part of you.

Winter: *sobbing* Good. I'm glad.

Penny smiles one last time as she fades into light.

Back in the Atlas Vault.

ITuckerwood: So... the destiny I chose for you has arrived.

Winter gets back up.

Winter: You chose nothing.

Winter starts to levitate in the air, her weapons by her side.

Winter: This...was a gift.

She opens her eyes, blue Maiden flames coming from them. ITuckerwood looks on in shock. He fires another blast from his cannon, but Winter easily deflects it with an ice shield. The blast ricochets back at ITuckerwood, leaving a large smoke cloud on his position. Winter turns and flies into the portal.

Back in the pocket dimension, Cinder angrily launches herself forward to Jaune. He pushes her back with gravity Dust. She conjures a flaming sword and charges Jaune again. Jaune extends Crocea Mors to parry her swing, but the force of Cinder's attack shatters his blade. Jaune looks at his broken weapon in shock, before he is knocked to the ground. Cinder advances on him, looking enraged.

Cinder: Where did it go?!

Suddenly, a blue blast hits Cinder. She angrily looks for where the blast came from, and sees Winter floating above her. The two Maidens clash in midair, exchanging blows of magic and swords. Winter activates a glyph summoning a flock of small Nevermores. Cinder conjures more flaming swords and launches them at the Summons, destroying some of them. However, the rest get through and surround Cinder, attacking her from all sides. Cinder creates a large fireball to free herself from the flock.

Meanwhile, Jaune helps Weiss get away from the battle toward the gate to Vacuo. As the Maidens clash again, Winter snatches the Staff away from Cinder, but is struck and drops it onto the path. Cinder notices Weiss and Jaune getting away, grins savagely, and launches a fireball at them. Jaune throws his Hard-Light shield grenade to block the attack but they are both knocked back. Horrified, Winter flies toward them at high speed as the ground under them begins to glow.

Winter: No...

Cinder balls her hand into a fist, causing the ground beneath Jaune and Weiss to explode. Jaune's Aura dissipates as Weiss is launched over the edge.

Winter: (voice breaking) WEISS!!!

Winter watches helplessly as her younger sister fall into the abyss. Jaune gets back up as Winter levitates onto the walkway. She falls to her knees and cries, slamming her fist on the ground in grief. Her eyes narrow in anger as she stares up at Cinder, who has retrieved the Staff. Suddenly, the pocket dimension shakes as an enraged female scream is heard, distracting all three of them.

Jaune: We need to go... Now.

Winter: (glares at Cinder one last time) You... are going to pay... for everything you've done!

Winter and Jaune begin to retreat, and Cinder does the same, now having both the Staff and Lamp in her possession. Cinder exits through one of the portals leading to Atlas, and the walkways start to disappear. Jaune runs as fast as he can to the Vacuo portal. Winter notices this and tries to turn back for him, but is unable to stop herself as she passes through the gate. Jaune tries to jump for it as the path gives way beneath him, but the portal disappears and he falls into the abyss as well.

In Vacuo, Nora and Pyrrha desperately bangs on the portal, unable to go back through due to it being one way.

Atlas and Mantle civilians scream as they are attacked by Ravagers. Emerald Sustrai, Oscar Pine, and Lie Ren do their best to fight them off.

The horde of Grimm approaches them, but they get blown away. The quartet and the civilians notice Winter, using her newly-christened Maiden powers to levitate in the air. She notices her mother Willow, her brother Whitley, and Klein Sieben in the crowd, and tears stream from her eyes. The roar of Grimm gets her attention. She notices the horde of Ravagers and Sulfur Fish approaching. Winter screams out and prepares to take them all on...

Back in the Vault, ITuckerwood regains consciousness as he hears footsteps approaching him. Cinder walks down the stairs with a smirk on her face, carrying both Relics. As she looks up, her expression changes to fear. A black cloud of smoke sweeps down the elevator shaft, then circles around Cinder.

Cinder: I... I failed you again, master. They used the Staff to save thousands. Before our allies fell, Neopolitan... killed Ruby. (ITuckerwood looks up, gritting his teeth) And before Ruby and her teammates fell, they used the Lamp's final question.

The smoke swirls together in fTuckert of Cinder, materializing into Salem herself. Her eyes narrow as she listens to Cinder's words.

Cinder: I couldn't stop them! I couldn't even stop the Maiden from escaping without putting the Relics in jeopardy... I'm... I'm sorry...

Cinder kneels before Salem, presenting the Lamp and Staff to her. After a pause, Salem leans down.

Salem: In pursuit of a new world... (takes the Relics from Cinder) No cost is too great. You've done well, Cinder. Our work here is done.

Salem begins to walk away; Cinder follows, smirking. ITuckerwood, unable to get up, helplessly watches them pass him. He notices the white Due Process, and begins crawling towards it.

Salem: You said they used the Staff. I assume you rid the world of their creation. (glances back at Cinder) What did you create in its stead?

Atlas Central Command is shown engulfed in flames and smoke.

Cinder: (voiceover) I merely added more flames, to the fires of Atlas.

Through the glass, Watts is seen trying to break out by swinging a chair against the window. He screams out in desperation as the flames continue to spread...

Salem merely smiles. ITuckerwood tries to aim his revolver at them. On hearing the sound of its hammer, Cinder glances back at him and smirks.

Cinder: And that's... checkmate.

Cinder activates her Maiden powers and flies away. ITuckerwood sadly lowers his head as he accepts his fate until he hears a voice.

??? (F/N): Christ, you are dumb.

The three of them turned to see (F/N), armed with Due Process casually twirling them.

Salem: And... who are you?

(F/N): The girl who's about to put you of your damn misery. But before I do, how is it that you're the most powerful being on Remnant, yet you're not the smartest?

Cinder: *ignites* You watch your mouth you- *Salem stops her*

Salem: Explain.

(F/N): While you were healing, your little lacky did an oopsie. But rather than telling you, why don't I just show you.

(F/N) then summons a glyph that shows the past.

Watts: Neapolitan, was it? Now isn't the time to hold grudges.

Cinder steps into view, holding up her Grimm arm to quiet him. Neapolitan shifts the umbrella to point at her instead.

Cinder: No, she's right to be angry. I know I haven't upheld my end of the bargain. I'm... sorry.

Cinder places a hand over her chest, appearing to be remorseful. Neapolitan narrows her eyes, but lowers her umbrella, crossing her arms.

Cinder: I will get you Ruby Rose today. But to do that, I need to ask the lamp a question.

Cinder holds out her hand expectantly toward Neopolitan as Watts rolls his eyes and sighs. After a pause, Neapolitan takes her former employer's bowler hat from her head and produces the Relic of Knowledge from inside it. It quickly grows to its full size as she dons her hat.

With a satisfied smirk, Cinder steps forward, grabbing the Lamp's handle loop. After a tense moment of hesitation, Neapolitan lets go.

Cinder: Jinn.

The spirit has one eyebrow cocked as she regards the trio.

Jinn (Past): You have a question for me?

Cinder (Past): I do.

As she steps forward, Watts stares slack-jawed at Jinn while Neapolitan fixes her gaze on Cinder.

Cinder (Past): What have Ruby and her teammates planned?

Jinn's eyes widen momentarily, before she furrows her brow in regret. Then, in a swirl of cyan smoke, the alleyway is replaced by a viewing of the group's discussions at Schnee Manor. The teens sit on the manor grounds just after Jaune had boosted Penny's Aura.

Jaune (Past): We've been so worried about keeping the Vault closed that... we've never considered using what's inside.

Oscar (Past): The Staff of Creation.

Ruby (Past): Maybe we can use it to save Penny and get everyone in Atlas and Mantle back to safety.

Cinder walks around the group with a self-satisfied smile, but her expression falls upon catching sight of Emerald. As she frowns, the scene changes again. This time, the team is in the Schnee Manor dining room.

Ruby (Past): After you guys broadcast the evac procedure, you'll walk through the portal at the CCT Center. And when we're done in the Vault, we'll take Penny and the Staff.

Cinder watches the discussions unfold, Watts and Neopolitan at her sides.

Cinder: You tore this Kingdom apart with nothing but your intellect. How about we finish what you started?

After watching this, Salem was enraged but still had that calm look on her face as Cinder's eyes widened in shock, knowing her secret was exposed.

Cinder: M-master I- *feels her grimm arm twitching and screams in pain* AHHHHHH!!!!

Salem: You... wasted... my question.

Salem was about to backhand Cinder but it was grabbed by (F/N) as she kicked her back to the wall.

Cinder: Wh-What?

(F/N): Your welcome.

(F/N) then took Cinder somewhere safe and stopped the bomb.

Cinder: You... you ruined everything!

(F/N): Like your one to talk Ms. I killed my abusive family in cold blood.

Cinder then tries to stab (F/N) but she grabs her wrist and slams her on the ground as Cinder grabs her with her grimm arm but immediately lets go and screams in pain holding her grimm arm.

Cinder: Impossible! How?!

(F/N): Your aura can't protect your arm, it doesn't have a soul and my plus, I'm immune so your dinky arm is useless like Salem.

Cinder: Don't you dare talk about my master! She will-

*Smack!*

Cinder was backhanded by (F/N) as she fell to the ground feeling her aura fizzle.

(F/N): Do you honestly believe she actually cares about you? She's treating you just like how you treated Emerald.

Cinder: Emerald was an ally, now she's a traiter!

(F/N): And good reason too, she was the only person that gave a shit about you, but you brushed it aside like it was nothing. And for the record, I know everything about you.

Cinder: You don't know anything about me.

(F/N): Oh really? Does the name Rhode ring a bell? Or does the place Glass Unicorn sound familiar to you.

Cinder: *Eyes widen in shock* H-how did you-

(F/N): Like I said, I know everything, even what he said to you, which was an I quote, "But hurting them isn't going to make your life any better. You can run, but you're gonna be running for the rest of your life. Or, you could find another way to handle it." Unquote.

Cinder then summons a sword and was about to kill (F/N) until an image of Rhode appeared as she gasped in shock and eventually she fell down as the sword disappeared as she started to cry.

Cinder: *while weeping* He helped me... he helped me from my abusive family... and-and I- *cries more* oh oum what have I done?!

(F/N): *Goes to Cinder and hugs there* It's okay.

Cinder: *Sniffles* I don't understand, why did you save me? After everything I've done?

(F/N): Rhodes saw you as a good person, figured why not me.

Cinder could only look down in shame.

(F/N): You hurt so many people in your life, just for power. Do you honestly believe by hurting them is gonna make you stTuckerger? It's not, hurting them isn't going to make your life any better. You can run, but you're gonna be running for the rest of your life....

Cinder could feel the guilt on her conscience as (F/N) helped her up.

(F/N): ...Or, you could find another way to handle it. Make things right.

Cinder: But, I want to be stTuckerger, I want more power.

(F/N): More power, is that you talking? Or is that Salem asking for more power?

Cinder: But this is-

(F/N): This isn't what you wanted? Was it? You just wanted to escape your family, be better, if anything, you wanted a family, a family that treated you like a normal person instead of a slave.

Cinder: ...Yes. That's what I wanted... and Salem she-

(F/N): Manipulated you, used you for her own personal gain, just like you did with Neo.

Cinder: Yes she did... and I'm no better than her.

(F/N): True, but now you make things right.

Cinder: How?

(F/N): By kicking Salem's ass.

Cinder: That's impossible, Salem is the Grimm queen, she's invulnerabile.

(F/N): Lady, I deal with the impossible and so do them.

Cinder: Them?

We then see the others come out of the shadows as Hazel and Amber take off their masks.

Cinder: How... how are they-

(F/N): Bought them back to life.

Amber: Well, nice to see the girl that took my powers again.

Cinder: Uh... yeah... sorry about that. I may have deserved losing my arm and my eye for it

Amber: *Ignited her maiden powers* You totally deserved it!

(F/N): Easy Amber, she was manipulated just like Hazel and Clover were.

Hazel: It's true.

Clover: ITuckerwood was running out of options. I figured he would have done this.

Amber: *Sighs* So we're letting her join us? After the first time you killed her?

(F/N): Look, she's been through a lot. The least we could do is help her walk the right path okay?

Amber: Hmmm, okay. But if she tries anything I will burn her ass off.

(F/N): Yeah whatever helps you get off at night.

Just then we see a magic blast coming to (F/N) as she casually blocked it as everyone saw it was Salem along with Mercury and Tyrian.

(F/N): Oh look, the fugly witch and her two flying monkeys.

Cinder: *Stiffed a laugh*

Tyrian: How dare you?! The queen is the most beautiful being on Remnant!!

(F/N): Bitch, I met strippers way better looking than her, and you, well you're just bat shit crazy who has a fetish of getting dominated by someone more powerful than you, bet she even pegs you in bed huh?

Enraged by this, Tyrian then charges at (F/N) as she casually blocks all the hits and bullets that the scorpion faunus was giving her as he then tried to sting her with his prosthetic tail but (F/N) grabs it.

(F/N): A robotic scorpion tail? Heh, guess someone is compensating for something.

Then in one fluid motion (F/N) teared Tyrian's tail off as he screamed in pain as poison and blood dripped from the reopened wound.

Tyrian: Gahhhh!!! Y-you bitch!

(F/N): Eh, I've been called worse.

Tyrian then tries to punch (F/N) but she was quicker as she then punched her fist through his aura then grabbed his heart which surprised Mercury.

(F/N): Pathetic.

(F/N) then took her hand out as she saw Tyrian's heart was in her hand as she looked to see the scorpion faunus was breathing heavily as he fell to the ground and crawled to Salem and Mercury as he backed up in disgust and fear.

Tyrian: M-mi-mi.... Gah... *gasps one more breath and dies*.

(F/N): *Tosses the heart aside* Alright, who's next?

Mercury then tries to attack Cinder but she blocks it and kicks him back.

Mercury: So this is what you're gonna do now? First Emerald, now you, you've fallen Cinder.

Cinder: True, but that doesn't mean I can get back up.

Mercury then goes to kick Cinder again only to stumble when he feels someone grab his leg.

(F/N): Hi there.

(F/N) tosses Mercury as he slammed into a wall as he got back up and charged (F/N) and roundhouse kicked her in the face knocking her sunglasses off.

Mercury: *mocking* Uh-oh, your glasses broke, what will you do now?

(F/N): *turns to face Mercury* Like how your dead dad took your semblance?

Mercury's eyes widened in shock.

Mercury: H-how do you-

(F/N): I know everything about you Mercy, the reason you got robo legs, why you have no semblance, why your mom left your dad. But let's face it, at the end of the day, you're just some sad guy wearing a mask of negativity who plays it off like it's nothing.

Enraged by this, Mercury tries to punch (F/N) but she catches his fist and in one fluid motion she rips his arm off.

Mercury: *in pain* Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!! Y-y-you bitch!

(F/N): *chuckles* An arm for an arm. Now you know how Yang feels. Dis-armed.

Mercury then tries to punch (F/N) again but once again she rips the other arm off making him scream and riving in agony and pain.

(F/N): Now your dis-armed *laughs* oh man, oh I slay me.

Mercury: Y-y-your you're insane!

(F/N): Not as insane as you think.

Mercury then tries to kick (F/N) but she rips off the prosthetic leg as Mercury falls back as (F/N) does the same to the other leg as she walks to the armless and legless Mercury as his eyes hold fear knowing he was already killed and not by Salem.

Mercury: Pl-pl-please, mercy I-I I'm sorry please let me live!

(F/N): *holds out Due Process* Hmm, let me think...

*Bang!*

Mercury was shot as he died armless and legless.

(F/N): *Smiles* ...Nope. *Sees Salem* Uh-oh, all alone.

Salem: You may have killed them, but I still have the *feels that the relics aren't with her* What?

(F/N): *Holds out the Relic of Knowledge and Creation* Hehehehe, looking for these?

Salem: How in the world did you-.

(F/N): Back in the vault, when I punched you.

Salem could only glare in anger.

Salem: Cinder... get the relics.

Cinder: *Sees (F/N)'s reassuring look* *to Salem* No.

Salem: What?

Cinder: I said no, I'm not going to listen to someone who uses people for their own gain... like I did... but starting now, it won't happen.

Salem: You disappoint me...

Salem concentrates as Cinder winced but didn't feel the pain.

Salem: Impossible.

(F/N): Actually it's possible, I enchanted her arm so that she has full control over it, *takes her sunglasses and puts them back on* you on the other hand, not so much.

Salem: Why you insolent little-

(F/N): I'm not your dating life alright.

Salem gets angry as she launches herself at (F/N) as (F/N) snapped her fingers and froze her in time.

Cinder: Wha- how did you do that?

(F/N): They don't call me a devil hunter for nothing. *Boops Salem so that her head is unfrozen* But Salem, do you really want to fight in some barren city with no people?

Salem: ...Explain.

(F/N): How about we battle in an arena, *holds the staff of creations* of my own creation.

Salem: Very well.

(F/N): Awesome, *to the staff* Ambrosius.

In a puff of blue mist and light we see Ambrosius appear as time stopped around (F/N).

Ambrosius: Yeah, yeah, what do you- *sees (F/N) and gasps in shock* Oh my oum, Y-y-your her aren't you? Dante's kid.

(F/N): Yes, that's me. I need you to do some work for me.

Ambrosius: Hmm, alright well what do you want? And please don't say a floating city, so unoriginal.

(F/N): It's a floating coliseum the size of Atlas, and broadcasts it to a planet called Earth, in a town called Middleton, use the floating city as your material.

Ambrosius: Ooh not bad kid, but I am gonna need some *(F/N) shows him the blueprints to the coliseum and the details* Details, wow not bad.

(F/N): I'm always detailed with my art. Now then, make with the coliseum avatar.

Ambrosius: Alright, alright.

With a snap of a finger we see (F/N) and everyone in the coliseum, which was the size of Atlas.

Meanwhile back in Amity Park we see everyone getting the party ready.

Tucker: Soo a bandit huh?

Vernal: Don't even think about it.

Tucker: Oh come on, even alien chicks too?!

Sienna: I hope (F/N) knows what she's doing.

Paulina: She is, she always does.

In a flash of light we see Paulina, Sienna, Vernal, and Tucker are teleported as they land on a seat, as they see RWBY, Jeanne, Maria, Piatro JNPR, Oscar, Glynda, Qrow, Robyn, Raven, Summer(With disguise), Willow, Whitley, Winter, Penny, Cinder, Emerald, Neo, and the Ace Ops in the seats.

Sam: What the?!

Danny: Where are we?!

Sienna: Remnant.

Paulina: The planet you used to live on?

Vernal: Yep.

Tucker: But how is that possible?

(F/N): *on screen* Hey everyone!

Everyone then sees it (F/N) alongside Dante, Nero, Summer, Vergil and Hazel.

Harriet: How is this possible?

Elm: It's not.

Lady: When she's half demon anything is possible.

Harriet: Wow... only if Clover was here.

Clover: *Takes his mask off* Someone say my name?

Vine: Hey.

Harriet: *Sees Clover* Clover?! Vine?! But-but how?

Clover: You can thank Bianca, she brought us back.

Ruby: I knew she wouldn't let us down.

Penny: There was a 90 percent chance this would happen and that (F/N) would make this using the staff.

Jaune: Penny?! Bu...but how?! I-

Penny: I think (F/N) is responsible for that.

Weiss: (F/N) did this?

(F/N): *onscreen* You bet your ass I did.

Yang: And the coliseum?

(F/N): *onscreen* Oh the staff of creations, let's you make anything you want.

Nero: Nice relic, *sees Salem* So who's this ugly prick?

(F/N): Salem, the big bad of this planet. Apparently the gods here cursed her to be immortal and now's taking it out on everyone.

Summer: It's true.

Nero: Well we can't have that can we?

(F/N): No, we can't.

We then see (F/N) and Nero arm their guns with (F/N) using Noire and Blanche and Nero using Blue Rose.

From the sidelines, everyone saw what was gonna happen.

Tucker: Oh man this is gonna be awesome!

Sam: *Sees Weiss's hair* Woah, you dye your hair too?

Weiss: No, this is my natural hair color. And, I think introductions are in order, I'm Weiss Schnee heiress err former heiress of the Schnee dust company.

Tucker: Dust?

Danny: What's so royal about dirt?

Clone (F/N): Not that kind of dust, on this planet, Dust is an energy source on this planet and it comes in different elements.

Paulina : Huh neat.

Ruby: *Sees Paulina * Hey you must be (F/N)'s girlfriend, it's nice to meet you.

Paulina: You too, Paulina Sanchez.

Ruby: Ruby Rose, and this my sister Yang.

Yang: Sup.

Paulina: You two are sisters?

Sam: You two don't look related

Yang: We're half sisters. We have different moms.

Paulina: Oh right, *holds out her hand* Well it's nice to- *sees Yang's robot arm* woah uh, hand robot!

Yang: Oh heh yeah, I got this when a crazy guy sliced my arm off and Atlas sent me a robot arm.

Tucker: Woah awesome. Uh not the-the arm slicing, the robot arm is cool.

Yang: Heh thanks.

Ruby: So are you like a huntress on Earth?

Paulina: Uh, something like that, I'm a devil hunter.

Raven: Great, it looks like (F/N) and her friend just signed their death warrant.

Weiss: They know what they're doing. *To Winter* Right?

Winter: I honestly don't know. We barely know anything about (F/N), but she holds powers far beyond any maiden or even Salem.

Vernal: No kidding.

Meanwhile we see (F/N) and Nero Shooting at Salem as she blasts magic at the two making them dodge as (F/N) senda a infernal punch driving Salem back.

Salem: Do you think you can defeat me? Defeat my power?! I am invincible!

Nero: *Points at Salem* You should come to realize that no one is invincible.

(F/N): You're wasting your time, buddy. *To the others* I think she needs to learn the hard way.

We then see (F/N) and the others all charge at Salem ready to kick her ass.

Back to the sidelines.

Ruby: *While watching the fight* Come on you two!

Yang: Kick her butt!

Raven: Salem can't be killed, it's impossible

Paulina: It's never impossible, anything (F/N) can't do, she can do, no matter how difficult it is.

Raven: You're delusional, you know that?

Yang: Coming from the spring maiden who ran away-

Vernal: -And used me as a human shield.

Yang and Vernal: Were not surprised.

Raven could only look down in guilt.

Paulina: Abandoned by your mom?

Yang: How did you know?

Paulina: Lucky guess.

Meanwhile we see (F/N) and Bayonetta fighting back Salem as we see the Grimm Queen knocked back.

(F/N): *strike a pose* ARGEDCO!

(F/N) summon Labolas as they charge at Salem only for her to blast them away.

(F/N): *Strike a pose* CANILU!

We then see (F/N) summon Hydra as it wrapped around Salem squeezing her in a death grip tighter and tighter only for Salem to break out with ease as she tried to attack them but Summer got in the way and slashed Salem back making her take a knee.

Salem: Insolence!

(F/N): Yeah that was my back up plan.

Bayonetta: *chuckles* Impressive as always (F/N).

(F/N): Thanks sis.

Salem: You have no idea what my life was like, what any of his lives were like. You're just a human, a human who will be just like him, and when he is gone, I will re-create the world in my image!

(F/N): In the words of a Lumen Sage, Humans need not be told what their will shall be. We can create our world with our own eyes!

Salem: An indulgent statement of human folly. Do you have any idea how much turmoil and confusion you have created?

(F/N): We may not see our next step. We may stumble. We may fall off the path. But we always move forward. That is the power of man. Sister, shall we illustrate?

Bayonetta: Let's rock. *To Summer* And you?

Summer: This is payback.

We then see the trio charge at Salem as they begin to fight her back.

In the stands.

Ruby: Payback?

Weiss: For what?

Qrow: Don't know, but something about her seems... familiar.

Back with the trio we see them all kick Salem back as she was dazed.

Bayonetta: (F/N) if you're gonna do semi-performance now's your chance!

(F/N): Right.

(F/N) then telekinetically lifted Salem in the air as (F/N) focused and Salem started shifting from her past self to her present self for a few seconds as (F/N) then split Salem into two, one good and one evil as (F/N) sent Salem (Good) to the stands.

In the stands.

We see Salem (Good) fall onto Raven which caught everyone by surprise.

Raven: Ah! What the hell?!

Blake: Is... is that Salem?

Pyrrha: I think so.

Nora: But she's not all grimm-ey.

Sam: I don't think grimm-ey is a word.

Ozpin: (F/N) must have split her.

Yang: She can do that?

Ozpin: Apparently so.

Salem (Good): *Wakes up* Wha- where am I? This isn't the tower.

Raven: *Muffled* Get off of me!

Salem (Good): Oh *gets up* Apologies.

Raven: Thanks *Reddies her Odachi* now then-

Qrow: Woah, woah what are you doing?!

Raven: It's-

Yang: It's not Salem, well it is but not her evil self.

Raven: Yang, stand aside so I can-

Raven was cut off when Paulina blasted her sword out of her hand.

Paulina: You heard her, she's good.

Raven: Who in the world do you think are?! *Tries active maiden name but can't* What? What's going on?

Tucker: *Gets hit with a paper note* Ow, hey a note, *reads it* "Did I forget to mention anyone in the sidelines has their semblance and/or maiden powers negated for as long as the fight lasts ".

Raven groaned and reluctantly sat back down.

Back with the trio, they see Salem(Evil) feeling half power.

Salem (Evil): What... did... you... do?! My power!

(F/N): I separated you from your past self, you may be immortal and powerful, but all you are is a walking temper tantrum who took all her anger out on everyone she ever met.

Salem (Evil): No!!

Bayonetta: Now she looks even more hideous than before.

(F/N): Got that right.

Summer: *Chuckles*

Salem (Evil): And what are you laughing at?

Summer: Oh nothing, this is just like last time.

Salem (Evil): Last time? I don't even know you!

Summer: Well then, let me jog your memory.

Summer then took her mask off as her hair turned back to it's normal color as everyone gasped in shock.

Yang: Is... is that...?

Ruby: Mom...?

Raven: Th-that's impossible! H-how-

Oscar: More of (F/N)'s doing.

Back with the trio and Salem (Evil) was shocked to see Summer is alive.

Salem (Evil): You...

Summer: Yeah, me.

(F/N): You want to take this one?

Summer: Yep.

We then see Summer charge and slash at Salem (Evil), as the Grimm Queen tried to defend herself but couldn't.

Summer: Look me in the eyes tell me, do I look dead to you?

Summer then activated her silver eyes as Salem blocked it but her hands turned into stone as (F/N) shot them making the grimm queen scream in pain.

Salem: Ahhhhh!!!

Summer: Now your dis-armed.

Yang: Hah!

Salem: It cannot be! You cannot...

(F/N) then pulls out Noire and Blanche as she gets prepared to shoot Salem.

Salem: *Sees what (F/N) is gonna do* .... DIE!

Salem summons a shadow hand and smacks Noire out of her hand but Nero catches as he and (F/N) point the guns at Salem.

Nero: I will try it your way for once.

(F/N): You remember what our dads always say?

Salem: DON'T DO IT!

Both devil hunters stand together with Nero pointing Noire horizontally and (F/N) pointing Blanche vertically and they both say one word before they fire their guns.

(F/N) and Nero: JACKPOT!

Both of them fired a combined blast as it hit Salem square in the chest.

Salem: *Dying* I... am... the Grimm Queen...!!

Nero: Not very classy for someone's dying words. *Gives (F/N) her gun back*

Salem glowed red as her body turned into a black orb as a great sword dropped on the floor which was around 5.5 ft long, this was Salem's War as (F/N) went over and picked it up.

(F/N): It's... done...! Haaah...!

(F/N) then falls back from exhaustion as Paulina rushed to her and caught her as everyone joined her.

Paulina: Hey babe.

(F/N): Hey sweetie, sorry for the wait. And your birthday party.

Paulina: *While supporting (F/N)* It's okay, it was worth the wait.

(F/N): And thanks to the help of my cousin and Summer.

Nero: You're welcome to, possum.

(F/N): I would shoot a round in your ass if I wasn't so tired.

Raven went to Summer to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Raven: *Sees Summer* Summer...?

Summer: Hey Raven, Qrow how's it going?

The two bird siblings pulled Summer for a group hug.

Qrow: Great, now that you're here.

Raven: You son of a bitch, why didn't you tell us you were alive.

Summer: Well-

Raven: And don't say, "Because you never asked"

Summer: But you didn't ask.

Raven: Dang it.

Ruby: Mom...? Is that really you?

Summer: Hi Ruby, Yang.

The two half sisters joined the hug too as Ruby teared up.

Ruby: I-I don't understand, how are you back, Salem she-

Summer: You can thank your new friend for that.

Ruby: (F/N)? You brought our mom back to life?

(F/N): Yeah... couldn't let you and your sister be motherless. Plus I kinda needed Summer's help soo... yeah no need to thank me.

Yang: Well thanks, for everything.

Nora: Yeah if it wasn't for we'd be up to our necks in Grimm, of course we wouldn't have necks but you get the idea.

Jaune: And thanks for bringing Pyrrha back.

Pyrrha: Hello again.

(F/N): Anytime. Oh and Paulina, I got those weapons you wanted.

Paulina: Thanks (F/N), but you did a lot for this planet. I don't know if I can-

(F/N): Due Process can combine into a two handed cannon~.

Paulina: Sold!

Sam: Oh brother.

Summer: Well I really loved the sniper scythe with one eye you showed me, that thing is awesome!

Ruby: A sniper scythe with an eye , oh so cool!

Weiss: Oh oum there's two of them now.

Sam: You deal with this too?

Weiss: Unfortunately.

Sam: I feel your pain Weiss.

Ozpin: *Examines Salem's War* Is she... well the evil half... in there?

(F/N): Yeah she is, she won't be turning back for a long time.

Salem: Thank you, and to everyone else... I... I'm sorry...If I didn't beg the brothers... or got any of you wrapped up in this mess I...

(F/N): Hey relax, you did it because you cared about your ex-husband, love makes you do crazy things... even if it turned you batshit crazy. Oh and fwi, your "gods" aren't really gods.

Salem: *Smiles* Thank you, Bianca.

(F/N): Anytime.

Nora: So what do we do now?

(F/N): Well with Ironwood dead, and Weiss's dad dead, Someone's gotta be in charge of Atlas Academy and be the heir to the company.

Weiss: Guessing that's where we come in?

(F/N): Yep.

Jaune: And the rest of Atlas? *Gets hit by the relic of creation* Ow!

(F/N): Rebuild.

*Remembers something* Oh right, hang on.

(F/N) then touches Yang's robot arm as it glows and turns normal again with the robot arm now being a gauntlet.

Yang: Woah, my arm, I- thanks (F/N).

(F/N): Anytime.

Pyrrha: Will we ever see you again?

(F/N): Maybe another time. But in case you all wanna go to Earth.

(F/N) snapped her fingers as bracelets with different emblems of each huntsman and huntress appear on their wrists, even Paulina, Sam, Tucker, and Danny,

(F/N): You can use these, they're teleporters, just say the location and you'll be there or if your mute, think of the location or person and you'll be in that place where the person is, but not in their room or anything just in the place in general.

Weiss: Impressive.

Blake: Not bad (F/N).

(F/N): Thanks. Yo Hazel you wanna go to Earth?

Hazel: Of course.

Vernal: Then let's go.

Timeskip.

After some goodbyes, we see (F/N), Paulina, Sienna and Vernal are at the country club where the party was happening.

Paulina: Man what a day.

(F/N): Four weeks to be specific.

Vernal: Yeah, heh, you did a lot of good Bianca.

(F/N): Yeah I did. But with that said, let's party!

Everyone then celebrated and partied to their heart's content as the camera fades to black.

Next: Chapter 50: Day After Birthday.
