(y/n) POV

We made it more than half way up the tower before we broke through a window to a floor that was relatively close to mom's office. "We'll...have to...walk the rest of the way." I said as I tried to catch my breath, "You did your best (y/n) and that's all we can ask of you." Summer said sweetly, "No I needed to do better! If we're too late it will be my fault that Vanessa is dead!" I said as I got up and walked over to the stairs.

We ran up to mom's office it only took us about ten minutes to reach our destination. When we tried to open the door it was locked. Qrow cut down the door and Summer drew her new weapon.

"Where did you get that thing?" I asked, "Well my old scythe was unfortunately destroyed in battle so Qrow helped me make this one. It's gonna take a while for me to get a handle on using it's sword mode, but I think it'll be fine." Summer said as she switched it from its sword mod to its scythe mode. "Shine bright and pierce the darkness, Shiryu." I said as a scythe formed in my hands. It was vastly different from the scythe I remembered.

"Master, since the last time you wielded me your skills have vastly improved. This new released from is a reflection of your new skills." White Shiryu said in my mind, "Alright let's go save Vanessa." I said as we entered the office.

"Such a lovely view from all the way up here don't you think?" Jeremy asked, "COMPUTER EXECUTE PROTOCOL EPSILON! AUTHORIZATION CODE REAPER!" I yelled, "Authorization code accepted, now activating protocol Epsilon." The computer said, panels in the ceiling opened and turrets filled the space. In total there were about twenty fully automatic turrets all aimed at Jeremy. "And why does your mom have something like this?!" Qrow asked, "Ohh just incase you decided that while she was out that you would take charge of Vale." I said as I walked behind the desk, "Let's have a little talk Jeremy." I said as I roundhouse kicked him over the desk. All the turrets stayed aimed at him, I took a seat behind mom's desk and took hold of the gun she kept hidden underneath the desk, "Take a seat." I said as I dropped my scythe, he took a seat just as I instructed, " Here's what's going to happen, you're going to give me the antidote." I said sternly, "And if I refuse?" He asked, I snapped my fingers and one of the turrets fired off a shot that just barely missed hitting him in the head, "Does that answer your question." I said, "Alright, alright you've made your point, I'll give you the antidote on one condition." He said, "You're in no position to be making demands right now!" I said, "Oh but I am, you see I have what you want and need, and you have my Goddess. You give me Cinder Fall and I'll give you the antidote." He said as he pulled out a syringe filled with the antidote, "That's the antidote?" I asked, "Yes it is and I suggest that you give me what I want." He said, I flash stepped behind him and took the antidote, "Great I just wanted to be sure." I said as I placed the gun against his head and shot him point blank. "I'm sorry you all had to see that." I said in shame, "Umm (y/n) turn around!" Ava said in shock, "What I would think by now we've all seen a dead... body." I said as I turned around and saw a woman sitting on mom's desk.

"Oh." I said, she got up and walked over to my scythe and picked it up, "What a beautiful blade." She said softly, "W...who are you?" I asked, "Oh how rude of me, I am the demon Astaroth, I am one of the three chaos demons." She said calmly, "Ok and I'm guessing that you're going to kill us for what I did to Jeremy?" I said, she began to laugh, "Oh my dear boy while what happened to my former master is regrettable it wasn't a significant loss to say the least. No what I want is you." She said as she pointed my scythe at me, "Why me?" I asked, "Because in a matter of seconds you fulfilled the pact I had with that fool five times over, there are very few who can say that they received a demonic pact with a demon that willingly subjected themselves." She said as she walked closer to me, "If I accepted you then what happens?" I asked, "Then you would be able to wield my powers and summon me to your side whenever you want or need me." She said calmly, "You were close to Jeremy right, so you would have valuable information correct?" I asked, "That is correct. While there is little information I can actually give you what I can may surely be of use to you." She said, "Great then that settles it I'll accept you." I said, "That is wonderful to hear, but I would like to forge our pact in private." She said, I looked back at Qrow and the others, "I'll be alright can you give us a minute." I said, Ava nodded and dragged Qrow and Summer away.

"Ok what happens now?" I asked, Astaroth grabbed the blade of my scythe and dragged her hand along it, "Now you." She said as she handed me the blade. I sighed and cut my hand on the blade, suddenly she grabbed my hand with the hand she had cut, "Now my blood shall mix with yours and my emblem shall appear somewhere on your body as a testament to our pact." She said as she turned into black flames and disappeared. "So how'd it go?" Qrow asked, I suddenly felt an intense burning sensation on my left arm, I quickly took off my shirt a found a strange new tattoo.

"Eve is gonna kill me for this." I said, "But it was worth it. Now we have a way to find what Jeremy's plans were." I said, "If you wanted to know, you should have just asked." Jeremy said as he got up from the floor. "Good god! IS THAT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN I COME BACK FROM THE DEAD?!" I shouted, "Yeah kinda." Qrow said, "Master don't let your guard down he is more powerful than ever now that he had merged his soul with another demon he had a pact with, Murmur the melodic demon." Astaroth said as she reappeared by my side wielding a large sword.

"So Astaroth you have betrayed me. No matter I'll just kill you and your new master and be done with it." He said as he turned to face us, his eyes were pitch black, he had black vanes all over his face like Salem when she didn't use her magic to change her appearance, his once brown hair spiked back and was tainted black. "Your soul has been tainted, allow me to cleans it!" I said as my scythe changed into the black Shiryu's dragon sword form, "Master I have a gift for you." Astaroth said as she held out her right hand and in a blaze of black flames a sword appeared.

"This is the Dark Excalibur, the most powerful weapon a pact holder can ever hope to wield." She said as she handed it to me, "It's nice and heavy, I like it. But I feel like I need to get into proper demonic attire in order to properly wield this blade." I said, "Overboost." I said calmly as I was surrounded by black flames and changed into my demon form. "Very impressive (y/n), but ultimately pointless." He said, "Qrow get this to Vanessa!" I said as I tossed him the antidote, "Astaroth your with me." I said as I rushed at Jeremy and grabbed him by his face and broke through the back window, I threw him as hard as I could at the ground. I flew down after him as he crashed into the ground, "WHAT WAS THAT?!" I heard Eve yell, "IT WAS A SOON TO BE A VERY DEAD MAN MY LOVE!" I yelled as I spiraled into the crater Jeremy made on impact. "Good you blocked it this would be very boring if I killed you that easily again." I said menacingly.

Qrow POV

"So Qrow how do you plan on getting that antidote back to the church?" Summer asked, "Like this." I said as I jumped out the broken window and as I fell I changed into a crow and flew to the church.
