3RD PERSON POV MORNING

Y/N: Ozpin...........

Despite the protests of team STRQ and the representatives from Atlas, Team Y/N, JNPR, CVFY, and RWBY all barged into Ozpin's office as BBQ hands out the listening device.

Ozpin: I'm assuming you all are not going to leave until you get some answers.

Everyone: No.

Ozpin: Is there an-

Everyone: No.

Y/N: You will tell us now.

Ozpin: *sigh* Very well then.

Later

Ruby: You're telling me that all those people hunting the grimm and dying is a result of a break-up?

Ozpin: Well not r-

Revy: *sigh* Of course it is old man. You really dragged all these people into a literal war.

Ozpin tries to retort but everyone kept arguing with him until Y/N claps, making a shockwave that silenced everyone.

Y/N: Can we please be civil about this? Sure Ozpin has made many mistakes but it's all in the past. The only thing we can do is to prevent this from happening.

Revy: Hate to break it to you...but he's right.

Ren: I guess....*sigh* Fine.

Coco: Alright professor.....what are we doing?

They all reluctantly stop arguing before turning to Ozpin.

Ruby: What are we waiting for? Let's listen to it!

Later

Ruby: *blank* So they're collecting all the dust supplies from Vale.

Velvet: Sabotaging the Vytal Festival to attract the grimm.

Blake: Leading a White Fang attack onto Beacon.

Ironwood: Stealing the maiden's powers and relics.

Pyrrha: Awakening the dragon grimm.

Ozpin: She plans to collect all the relics and destroy humanity. Except she seems to be doing it at a faster pace than I expected.

Ozpin rubs his head trying to think of a solution as everyone was worried that time is running out.

Y/N: I think I have a solution.

Everyone: Huh?

Everyone looked right at Y/N as he walked right to Ozpin.

Ozpin: And do tell how you will prevent the white fang from attacking, Beacon from being destroyed, and Salem from destroying humanity in one go?

Y/N: Simple really.

Y/N then pulls out what seemed to be a halo, surprising his friends.

Bernadette: Hold up.

Hank: Y/N how the hell did you get that? The Auditor doesn't just let anyone take his stuff.

Y/N: Well......

Flashback

Y/N: Uh hey black candle can I borrow that halo?

Auditor:.........No?

Y/N: *takes halo* Thanks.

*WOOSH*

Auditor: Meh. I can just make another one.

Flashback End

Y/N: Well I just borrowed it.

Hank:.........You mad lad.

Ironwood: *confused* What's so special about this....glowing halo?

Y/N: Well let's just say that you can literally manipulate reality with it and a bunch of other things along with the device inside my head.

Ruby: So it's like a special weapon of sorts?

Y/N: Exactly.

Jaune: *panic* How are we going to stop this all from happening? It's like the whole world is going to end in 2 months!

Yang: Isn't it obvious?

Everyone: We strike first.

Timeskip 1 month

Cinder couldn't put her finger to it, but every time she and her associates go to class every day, she would always feel like many eyes are staring right at her every minute.

Cinder: 'Why are they staring? I didn't do anything.....or did they find out? No, of course not! I've prepared everything to make sure I don't get caught! I'm Cinder the fall maiden for Oum's sake! Before they know it, I'll be standing above their corpses!'

Later

Blake: *furrow* What are they planning.........

Blake is currently crouching on top of a building, watching the white fang grunts carrying crates around with the infamous Roman Torchwick directing them.

Roman: Cmon Cmon! We're on a schedule now so why don't you animals pick up the pace?!

Blake: *narrow* 'Why is he here again? Wasn't their operation busted already?' Should I interfere?..........Hmmmm.....

Y/N: You should.

Blake: *scream* WH- MMMMM!

Y/N covers Blake's mouth with his hand and pins her onto the ground of the rooftop as a white fang grunt looks up the warehouse.

WF Grunt: Did you hear that?

Roman peaks at the warehouse and sees a sliver of a certain ear popping out of the edge.

Roman: Hmmm......Not really. Carry on!

The grunt looks away as he continues his job of carrying the crates. On the rooftop, Y/N lets go of Blake as he lays onto his back.

Y/N: Are you trying to get yourself caught?!

Blake: *grit* No, you should've warned me! What are doing here by the way?

Y/N: I'm doing some reconnaissance that's all. I got this on the way here in case I got hungry.

Y/N offers Blake some homemade fish sticks which she eagerly took and bit into it right away.

Blake: *munch* Mmm....Tis good. *munch* Thanks.

Y/N: Your welcome.

Y/N: So what are we looking at exactly?

Blake: *sigh* The white fang working with Torchwick.

Y/N: Didn't you use to work for them?

Blake backs away, shocked as Y/N stares at her.

Blake: How did you know that?!

Y/N: Hank hacked into the Beacon database. I already knew about it when I got into Beacon.

Blake: Seriously?

Y/N: Yeah.

Blake: 'He doesn't judge me for being a former white fang member huh.'

Y/N then pulls out his scroll, pressing a few buttons as Blake watches.

Blake: What are you doing?

Y/N: Calling someone.

*BEEP*

Y/N: Hey Roman!

Blake: 'HUH?!'

Roman: Y/N how's it going my guy?

Y/N: Pretty good. What about you?

Roman: Doing well! Me and Neo have been well off ever since we made that deal.

Y/N: So, has there been any word on Cinder?

Roman: I'm still collecting dust like usual but she's gonna come here really soon.

Y/N: Great. That's all I need to know. Do what you got to do and send the report to Ozpin alright?

Roman: Yup.

Roman: Are you up on the roof with the kitty?

Blake flinches at this but Y/N reassures her.

Y/N: Yeah.

Roman: Great. I got to go now so see you soon.

Y/N: You too.

*beep*

Y/N stores his scroll away as he turns to Blake.

Y/N: What?

Blake: What the hell was that?!

Y/N: Just a deal I made with him. He continues to do what he does and report whatever he finds out about Cinder and the grand scheme. In return Ozpin and I protect him legally and if he's in trouble. I can be very persuasive you know.

Blake: I-

Y/N: Shhhhh.....Don't worry. It'll work ou-

*VVRROOOOMMM*

A bullhead can be seen approaching from the port. Quickly turning to Blake, Y/N pats her head, rubbing her ears as she purrs.

Y/N: Can I trust you Blake?

Blake: *purr* You can trust me.

Y/N: Contact Ozpin. Tell him that the queen and pawns are here. Go now though.

Blake: Got it. Are you staying here?

Y/N: Yeah. Just stay low though Blake. I'll close in on this position.

Mind

Y/N: Guys come to the port in Vale.

Hank: Why? I'm in the arcade with BBQ right now.

Y/N: We're gonna stop like almost the entirety of the witch's plans here and now.

Revy: Her underlings?

Y/N: Yeah.

Revy: On my way then.

BBQ: Me too.

Bernadette: I'm coming.

Velvet: huh?! So we're just going to capture them?!

Y/N: Yeah and like 500 white fang grunts incoming.

Velvet: I-I contacted team RWBY, JNPR, and my team. Everyone else is busy.

Y/N: Get here quick so this won't be so troublesome for me.

Velvet: Ok!

Y/N: I'm ending this call now.

Mind end

Y/N lays on the edge of the roof with Blake running away, watching as Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury walk out of the bullhead and into the warehouse.

Y/N: 'Let's see what's up.'

Inside

Roman was just looking at a map on a wall figuring out where to go next when he heard the elevator buzz. Turning around, he finds Cinder walking towards him as Mercury and Emerald guard the elevator.

Roman: Hey Cinder! How's it going?

Cinder: Roman, stop collecting the dust. Your service is no longer needed now.

Roman: I-I see. I'll be on my way-ACK!

*BAM*

Roman was thrown to the side of the building as he shakingly gets up.

Roman: *cough* W-What was that for?!

Emerald: You didn't think we saw you purchasing tickets to Vacuo to escape now are you?

Mercury: We took it upon ourselves to come and kill you but Cinder here wants to do the honors.

Roman: *chuckle* Hold on let's talk about this!

Cinder in response forms a fireball as she aims at Roman.

Cinder: *smirk* No. Any last words?

Roman: *smirk* Hmm.....alright then.

Roman then gave the middle finger causing Emerald and Mercury to snicker.

Emerald: Well he tried.

Cinder: *sigh* Goodbye Roman.

Cinder fires as Roman raises his cane to defend himsel-

*THUD*

Part of the ceiling collapses down in front of Roman as the fireball makes impact, blowing up the entire wall and revealing the outside world.

Cinder: It's done. Let's leave now.

Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury all walked back to the elevator satisfied that their job has been done.

Y/N: Are you sure about that?

Cinder quickly turned around to see Y/N crossing his arms, indicating that he shielded Roman while the latter ran away.

Cinder/Emerald/Mercury: *shock* YOU?!

Y/N: Fancy meeting you here by the way.

Mercury: How did you know this place?!

Y/N: *smirk* Roman sends his regards.

Mercury: THAT LITTLE-

Cinder: It's a shame.

Cinder begins walking towards Y/N as she lets out flames from her body.

Cinder: I was hoping to leave you alive for later but looks like I'm going to have to kill you.

Y/N: Well no you can't.

Cinder: Why not?

Y/N: Let me just say this bluntly. I already know your plan from a month ago.

Cinder: *arrogant* Hmph! Me talking to my associates in class?

Y/N: No, your plan with the maidens, destroying Beacon, collecting relics and serving the witch.

Cinder:..............

Y/N: And since I discovered this plan long ago, who did I tell?

Cinder: *scoff* What Ozpin?

Y/N: Yes, and also team RWBY, JNPR, CVFY, Ironwood, STRQ, and my friends. We also happen to have the spring AND winter maiden in Beacon and the main force of Atlas in Beacon. And by the way, I already called them all to come here too so you can't really run anymore.

Cinder: WHAT?!

Mercury/Emerald: 'SHIT!'

Y/N: What about you, false maiden? You only have half the power. What's are you going to do about the maidens coming huh? I suggest you surrender if you don't want to face the consequences later. Or are you just a sore loser?

*WOOSH*

He narrowly dodges a fireball as Cinder's body combusts into flames.

Cinder: YOU....I'LL NEVER! YOU MAY HAVE OZPIN, ATLAS, OR WHATEVER BUT I HAVE SALEM! I WILL NOT LET ANYTHING GET IN MY WAY! EVEN IF I HAVE TO SACRIFICE MY TEAMMATES I'LL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO RISE TO THE TOP OF THIS WORLD!

Horrified by the revelation, Mercury and Emerald backed away and quickly escaped through the elevator as Cinder fails to notice.

Y/N: Really?

Y/N: *yawn* Bitch I don't even give a fuck.

Cinder: AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Cinder screams in fury as she dashed towards Y/N, leaving a trail of fire as they begin the fight.

Elsewhere

Blake: *huff* Why are there so many of them?

After contacting Ozpin about Y/N's message she tries to make her way to Beacon only for her to be surrounded by the white fang.

WF 2: There's nowhere to run Belladonna!

Blake knocks out another grunt as she jumps onto a roof when she was suddenly knocked midair down onto the street.

Blake: Ugh...what happened?

???: Go. Leave her to me.

Blake: huh? A-Adam?!

Adam: Hello my darling.

Meanwhile

It's clear that Y/N isn't taking Cinder seriously as he headbutts her fist earning a shout of pain before backhanding her into a cargo crate.

Y/N: *yawn* Cmon Cinder is that the best you got? Fucking fall maiden my ass.

Cinder: *grit* SHUT UP!

*BOOM*

Y/N tilts his head narrowly dodging a fire blast before thrusting his hip and-

*BOOM*

Sends her flying through several concrete walls. She quickly gets up and accelerates towards Y/N in a fury rage as he leans back to deliver a devastating uppercut, creating a shockwave that blew the cargo crates away and sends her straight up into the sky. Jump onin y up, Y/N meets her head on as he kicks the air sending them higher up. Cinder forms two glass blades and swipes at Y/N in an X formati-

*SHATTER*

Cinder: IMPOSSIBLE!

Y/N: I'm really bored right now so I'm gonna end this quickly alright?

He grabs onto Cinder and begins spinning around and around.

Cinder: NO!

Low on aura already with little experience with her maiden powers, Cinder covers herself in fire in a desperate attempt to burn and get Y/N off of her, though the chad Y/N didn't give a fuck and begins to spin himself with Cinder around and around at a faster speed.

Y/N: And here we GOOOOO!!!!!

*BOOM*

Chunks of landmass were uplifted as all windows explode. The shockwave blew the cargo crates into the sky as nearby buildings were destroyed. At the center of the destruction, Y/N can be seen looking at the unconscious body of Cinder before stepping off of her.

Y/N: *frown* 'How disappointing.'

Ozpin: It looks like you didn't need our help after all.

Y/N turns around to find Ozpin, Ironwood, Winter, and Team STRQ standing there.

Y/N: Oh hey headmaster.

Raven: So it seems that this is the other half fall maiden huh. Leave her to us now.

Y/N: Ok I'll jus-

Cinder: RRAAAHH-

*BAM*

Y/N chops Cinder on the neck knocking her out as she drops like a sack of potatoes.

Y/N: And that takes care of that. I'll be on my way then!

Qrow: Kid wai-

*WOOSH*

Y/N jumps onto the warehouse roof before flying away.

Tai: Let's just get her body to Beacon.

Meanwhile

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

Adam: What you want is impossible!

Using his sword, he knocks Blake's weapon away before backhanding her into a wall.

Adam: But I understand because all I want is you, Blake.

Blake lunges for her weapon only to get kicked into the wall again. Gasping in pain, she could only stand on her wobbly feet as Adam slowly walks towards her with his weapon in hand.

Adam: And as I set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind so greatly deserves, I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love.

*STAB*

Adam thrusts his weapon as Blake raises her hands expecting the worst only to find Y/N standing in front of her with a blade through his chest.

Blake: *scared* Y-Y/N NO!

Adam: Is this your friend? *frown* Why must you stoop so low to interact with a filthy huma-

*CHOP*

Adam shot to the ground, knocked unconscious as his body formed a crater at Y/N's feet.

Y/N: Ah, this feels nostalgic.

*SHINK*

Using his hands, Y/N pulls the blade out of his chest, the red tint under the sun as he inspects it.

Y/N: Not bad.........Hey Blake are you alright?

Y/N rubs the top of her head, a worried look on his face.

Blake: Y-Yeah. Thanks by the way. 'Don't purr...cmon don't do it.'

She points to Adam who was still imprinted on the ground.

Blake: Should we do something about *purr* Um.......Adam though?

Y/N: Your crazy stalker? Tie him up to keep him still until the police arrive.

Just like that, Y/N drags Adam out of the rubble and ties him up with chains, leaving him hanging onto the streetlight and taking his sword as he and Blake ran off to meet the others.

Later

Hank: Yeah buddy! ALL OF YOU COME AT ME!

*BOOM*

Hank throws an entire cargo crate knocking out a few dozen grunts as he fought his way through the crowd.

Hank: BBQ be my sword!

BBQ: On it!

Holding BBQ by the feet, Hank engages a rather large grunt with a great sword, whacking and pecking him with BBQ over and over again as the grunt fruitlessly tries to fight back.

WF: *whack* HEY! *whack* STOP IT! *whack* *whack* OW! *whack* WHY CAN'T I HIT YOU?! *whack* WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CHICKEN EVEN MADE OF?!

BBQ: My beak is as strong as the sharpest swords in the world! You will never dream of defeating me with that puny weapon!

WF: WHY YOU- *BAM*

The grunts head was smashed into the pavement as Hank continues to wield BBQ.

BBQ: Onward my friend! I got your back!

Hank: THANKS!

WF grunts: 'Have mercy...'

*BAM*

At another location

*BANG*

Revy: Fuck! They just keep on coming!

Pulling out a fire dust crystal, Revy throws it into the crowd of grunts and shoots it, creating an explosion that knocks a dozen of them off their feet.

Revy: *whistle* This dust sure is useful for crowd control though.

Bernadette: Focus Revy!

Using the leverage of her wings, Bernadette pins several grunts onto the wall with glass shards before ducking under a blade and spin-kicking the burly Faunus into a pillar. Using an extended glass pole, she knocks 30 grunts off their feet before dancing her away through them, knocking them all out with a kick to the head.

Revy: *whistle* Girl you got some sweet moves with those legs.

Bernadette: Thanks. I prefer to be somewhere else though.

Revy: You want to hang out with Y/N? You better have invited me.

Bernadette: Of course! Who woul-

*BOOM*

An Atlesian Paladin barrels down the wall as it charges right at Bernadette.

Revy: WATCH OU-

*BAM*

Y/N rams straight into the paladin dislocating its leg as Blake ties its legs together with a ribbon. The paladin falls backwards, losing all motor control as it shuts down.

Revy: Y/N you fucking idiot I was looking for your ass all day!

Y/N: I was looking around for enemy activities.

Bernadette: *worry* Please tell us where you're heading next time....

Y/N: *rubs head* Sorry.

They then notice Blake right besides Y/N as Revy chokeholds him to no avail.

Revy: She's with you?

Y/N: I found her on top of a warehouse. Where's everyone else?

Bernadette: We splitted up and that's when we got attacked.

Revy: I called Hank and about 3 others. The white fang got their hands full. *mumble* Fucking terorrists.

Blake's ears drop down as she gazes sadly upon the unconscious white fang members.

Revy: Oh shi- I didn't mean to call yo-

Blake: No no it's fine. I just that......*sad* I just wished things wouldn't end up like this.

Y/N: They made their choice and foresaw the consequences. Now come along, we got some people to catch up with.

Later

*BAM*

Battling paladins turned out to be a disaster. Yatsuhashi was punched by a paladin into team RWBY, knocking them back. Team JNPR also tried to no avail as they were knocked back as well.

Ren: This is bad!

Coco: 'Let's see what bun bun is made of.' Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!

Velvet: Yes Coco!

Expecting Velvet to pull out her camera from her pack, they didn't expect her to pull out a HF blade and unsheath it.

Coco: *confused* Wait bun bun don't you use Anesidora anymore?

Velvet: It helps to have a weapon you can use without having to switch every 15 seconds. I use this sword to be more efficient and use my semblance to its fullest.

Impressed by her answer, Coco walks back behind Velvet but not before patting her back from behind.

Coco: Go get them.

Weiss: What are you doing? She's going to get hurt!

Coco: I trust my bun bun Schnee. Just watch.

Twirling her katana, Velvet holds out her sword pointing it to the paladins as both sides stood still.

Paladin count: 20

Velvet: Let's dance.

*BOOM*

Velvet suddenly disappears from view as everyone including the paladins froze, confused and wondering where Velvet is.

*SHINK*

Two paladins suddenly fell backwards, their two halves separating as Velvet stood behind them menacingly.

Velvet: Is that all you got?

Paladin count: 18

*RATATATATATATATA*

Several paladins began firing their guns at Velvet who in return either deflected or sliced every single bullet as she sprints to them.

*BOOM*

*SLICE*

Running off a platform, Velvet kicks a paladin, immediately caving in its head in before jumping off of it and slicing through 5 paladins at once.

Paladin count: 12

Everyone's reaction to the impending massacre was priceless. Team CVFY, RWBY, and JNPR struggled against 3 paladins yet Velvet already defeated 8 of them and they watched as she dealt with them easily.

Pyrrha: *amazed* 'She's strong! Much stronger than before! Do I stand a chance against her?'

Ren: 'She seems faster, stronger, and more skilled than before. I have to admit I don't stand a chance. I need to train more!'

Ruby: *drool* 'So cool! So strong! Her sword is like Y/N's. I want to see all his weapons~'

Yang: 'She's strong with her kicks. What about her punches?'

*BOOM*

A paladin throws a haymaker as Velvet dodges and delivers a right overhand shattering its left leg joint. It wobbles for a bit before falling down as Velvet finishes it off with a straight punch through its head, ripping out some wires and circuits and throwing them to the side.

Yang: *grin* 'Heh...I don't mind sparring with her~'

Paladin count: 11

While everyone looks in awe, Coco looks at Velvet's brutality with shock but also a hint of worry.

Coco: 'What happened when you were gone? How did you get this strong?'

Continuing the onslaught, Velvet circles around the paladins, cutting down 2 more before jumping onto a paladin and swinging her sword.

Velvet: 'Whirlwind blade.'

*SLICE*

A circular shockwave tore through 5 other paladins and chopped nearby buildings into 2.

Paladin count: 4

*BAM*

Jumping up, she delivers an axe kick onto the paladin beneath her feet, caving its head in and crushing it to the ground.

Paladin count: 3

Paladin #10: Initiating launching sequence.

While Velvet was occupied with 2 other paladins, she fails to notice the 4th one as it sneaks up behind her, revealing its missile launcher.

Paladin #10: Fire.

Coco: VELVET WATCH OU-

*SHINK*

Velvet flips backwards and slices the missile head in half as it explodes onto the unfortunate 2. The Paladin prepares to charge when Velvet suddenly appears in front of it.

Velvet: Eviscerate

*SLICE*

The Paladin falls forward into 300 different pieces as Velvet sheaths her sword.

Paladin count: 0

*CLANG*

Drawing her sword out again, Velvet was barely able to block a massive fist as she skids backwards and crashes into the wall behind her. A massive paladin 5 times the normal size looms above Velvet as it raises its metal foot.

Coco: Velvet! YOU LITTLE-

*RATATATATATATATA*

Everyone got out their guns as they shot at the supersized mech with no effect. They luckily distracted the Paladin though as it turns and starts to walk to the-

*SLICE*

It's left leg detaches at the joint as Velvet recovers and kicks it in. Using the distraction, Velvet runs back to her pack and pulls out a second sword.

Coco: Bun bun what are you doing?

Velvet: *annoyed* Tch. Ending this quickly.

Throwing both sheaths to the ground, Velvet begins to run to the Paladin as it fires missiles from its arms.

Using the missiles as leverage, Velvet quickly jumps onto the paladin's arm and quickly-

*SLICE*

Slices through it like Swiss cheese. With one final burst, Velvet leaps into the air and with one swing-

*SLICE*

Velvet: And stay down.

*THUD*

She cleaves through the Paladin entirely. Landing onto the ground, Velvet sheathes her swords and walks back to her team as the two half's of the big Paladin explode from behind.

Velvet: *happy* How did I do Coco?

Everyone was rather surprised by the quick change in mood as Coco pats Velvet.

Coco: *smirk* You exceeded my expectations. If I didn't know any better I would say you can take us all on.

Velvet: *happy* Thanks.

Nora: HOLY SHIT!

Velvet was bombarded with praise and acknowledgement for her strength and skill, although it was a bit overwhelming.

Ruby: What's your weapon?! Let me see it!

Yang: You gotta let me spare with you sometimes!

Everyone: How did you get so strong?!

Velvet: *fluster* I-uh.......uh..

Coco: Everyone give her some space! You all are overwhelming Velvet here!

Everyone: Sorry.

Velvet: No it's fine! It's just that I-

*SSSSCCCRRREEEEE*

A grimm dragon can be seen howling and flying towards the grou-

*BOOM*

Its head explodes as its body careens into the ocean. Surprised, they turn to the top of a building only to find Roman holding a massive railgun.

Ruby: ROMAN?!

Roman: *smirk* Hello Red.

Weiss: *glare* What do you want with us criminal?! You were already working with Cinder!

Roman: Actually..I'm not working for Cinder.

Just then, Y/N peers over the rooftop along with Hank, BBQ, Bernadette, Blake, and Revy.

Yang: Blake! What are you doing?!

Later

This is a Timeskip. Everyone finds out Roman has been working for Ozpin and Y/N after striking a deal and is left alone along with Neo much to the chagrin of Ironwood and team RWBY.

So far Cinder as been captured and Emerald and Mercury turned themselves in but were freed on a deal with Ozpin. Word reaches Y/N that Adam has died from unknown reasons. Ironwood spent a whole week trying to clean up the mess of hijacked atlesian technology. The white fang is in shambles with words reaching Sienna on what Adam has done and she promises to fix it.

Salem and her remaining inner circle still have no idea of what happened.

Now everything is good for now. Allies have been made and tensions have been relieved. Everyone is happy and not worried.

Is everyone really happy though?
