Salem

(Y/N) POV

"Done," I say as I hold up the scanner I just finished. I turn it on and a red dot shows up. I find the blue dot telling me where I am, and I look for the closet red one....looks like 1 km away

I slowly walk toward it as I sneak around.

I see a Grimm, not sure if I should be happy and glad that the device works, or scared because I have no weapons. I slowly walk back to the house, and lucky the Grimm didn't notice.

"Ok, time to connect it to a more powerful Receiver," I mutter to myself as I walk into the Eagle.

"Lizart, can our comm unit be used for this?" I ask

"Why are you asking me?" She asks

"I don't know, maybe you know," I say as I make my way to the Engine room

"Well I certainly do not," She says as I find the main computer of the aircraft. I start carefully moving wires around until I can find the comm unit. I study the motherboard and pull apart the device I made just to grab the chip that makes the magic work

I inserted it into a slot in the comms and sure enough, it fits like a glove.

"Now, let's see if this works?" I ask myself as I use my semblance to see what the comms are picking up.

Sure enough, I can see the red dot 1 km away and much more. Since it's able to track signals and receive them. I can't see a clear image of my environment. It's more as if all I can see is darkness but with some signals and red dots. I find huge clusters of red dots.

All this, just to find Salem. I'm sure she will be surrounded by Grimm, that's the only reason why I built this device....to find Salem

I continue studying the clusters of red dots. I finally settle on one...this one must be where Salem is.

I waste no time. I stop using my semblance and I enter the house

"Summer," I call out

"In the kitchen," she says as I follow her voice

"What's up?" She asks as I enter the room

"I found Salem," I say as she turns around

"Where!" She asks

"She's on the move, We can get her if I move now," I say

"I'm coming," Summer says as she wraps up what she was doing

"No, you can't, I need to know you'll be safe or else I'll be distracted...and the safest place is here," I tell her as she looks at me with lost eyes

"Are you leaving again? Like the last time!" She yells in anger as her eyes get watery

"No, it's not lik--," I begin

"No! You're not leaving if you're not coming back!" She yells as tears start streaming down her face

"Do you know, how much it hurt to watch Ruby grow up without you by my side?" She asks as she looks at me with desperate eyes

"No, but I do know how it feels knowing that my daughter grew up without me," I say with my flare in my voice

"But, watching her grew up more is not worth her life. Salem wants her dead! I don't know why. But she does. If we don't do this, it will only get worse...I'd love for you to come with me. But if something happens. Ruby would only be losing one of us...not two," I say as my own eyes tear up

Summer sobs in front of me. I caused this. It's my fault. My heart hurts seeing her so sad.

"How'd you think she would feel if during her wedding she didn't have her father walking her down that aisle," Summer cries

"And how about her kids. She won't have her father for support...she'll miss it all," Summer says as she looks up at me

"So you better come back," she says as she hugs me tight. I hug her back

"I promise," I say as I frown. I'm not sure if I can keep that promise...

"Be safe," Summer says as she lets go

"I will," I say as I leave the house

"It's time," I tell Lizart

"You remember our talk a few years ago?" She asks

"Of course I do....we are gonna blow her to bits," I say as I enter the Eagle and then straight to my room. I open the closet and there it is. A bomb. A bomb powerful enough to flatten the tallest mountain range.

I walk to the cockpit and fire up the engines. I let them warm up. I look at the house one last time.

"See ya later," I say as even I fail to convince myself. Once this bomb goes off, nothing within a 20 km radius will survive...but it's a small price to pay to kill Salem

I launch the Eagle and start making my way to Salem at full speed

Summer POV

I stand in the kitchen in silence.

"You better come back," I say as I hold back tears

"I'm not losing you again," I mutter as I walk to my room

"Ruby!?" I call out for her as I walk into the room

I see nothing

"Must be in the bathroom," I say as I walk to it. The door was wide open and the lights were off.

"Where is she?" I think as I walk around the whole house. Then it clicked

When I was talking with (Y/N), I did yell pretty loud...maybe Ruby heard it....which means she could be...

(Y/N) POV

10 minutes until I'm face to face with the women we all hate. Salem will not live past this day...I will make sure of it.

"Um, dad?"

Wow, I'm already imagining Ruby

"Dad?"

I'm seriously gonna miss her

"Dad?" I feel a touch on my shoulder and I look behind me.

"I'm seeing things now," I say as I see Ruby

"No, I'm real," She says

"Everyone says that," I say as I look away...and then look back. Ruby is still there

"You're here aren't you," I say

"Yep," she says as I resist the urge to yell

I was about to tell her to get out. But I was interrupted

The Eagle suddenly gets hit. We both fall as I make my way to controls again. As expected. Hundreds of thousands of Grimm are here. And a lot of flying ones

"I got a few new presents for you," I say as I activate the weapons. Guns start firing, everyone, not a single Grimm can even touch me.

Now...for Salem I say as I look at the middle...and sure enough, a person was standing there looking at me in the distance. I speed toward her

Once all the flying Grimm were dead, I focus the fire power on the front guns as I point the noise right at her. She uses the Grimm as a meat shield as I get closer

"Die you bitch!" I yell as I noise dive right into her. The Eagle starts doing flips as we rip into the dirt. Finally, we stop and I open the hatch. The Grimm hasn't touched us. Instead, they left a straight line to Salem

"Foolish boy," she says

"Corpses shouldn't talk," I say

"I agree," she says as she disappears. I look into the crowd of Grimm...nothing

"Behind you boy," She says as she grabs me by the neck

"You shoulda stayed out in the sea," she says as she strangles me

"Lizart, fly Ruby out," I say in my head

"I'm afraid, the young lady has your back," Lizart says

"Let him down!" Ruby yells as Salem looks at her

"How bold," she mutters as Ruby looks at her

"Run," I barely say

"No," Ruby yells. My vision starts getting dark

"Well, looks your father is about to die...for the second time," Salem says as I completely blackout

Ruby. Run... please...
