Hey everyone! WELCOME to the seventeenth episode and the last Episode of the SIXTH VOLUME of RWBY: (Genius Gamer Shadow) Ex-Aid Reader x Ruby Rose, PART 4! The time has come, for our heroes to set foot on Atlas floors. So, to recap once again, I DO NOT OWN RWBY AND I DO NOT OWN KAMEN RIDER EX-AID!! RWBY is owned by RoosterTeeth and Kamen Rider is owned by Toei. So, now sit back, enjoy and LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!

3rd Person's POV:

A few hours later,

On the Manta, the group of heroes are flying through the night sky, making their way to Atlas along with Fortress Maximus following behind while being cloaked with its cloaking shields. 

Maria: We should be have just enough fuel to make it.

Maria said.

Ruby: Thanks, Ms. Calavera.

Ruby said.

Qrow: Hey, Ruby. You did great out there today, kid. Just don't go giving me a heart attack like that again.

Qrow said, about to fish out his flask to have a drink, but ultimately decides not to.

Then, Ruby hugs her uncle.

Ruby: I love you, too.

Ruby said.

Qrow smiles at his niece as she walks away to join her friends and her lover who's currently resting on his mother's lap.

Maria: You weren't half bad yourself today, Qrow.

Maria said.

Qrow smiled before sighing.

Qrow: I feel like they did all the heavy lifting.

Maria: But you were there to help when they asked for it, and you were there to catch them when they fell. Literally, if I recall.

Qrow: Thanks. You know, it was pretty incredible getting to see the Grimm Reaper in action.

Maria: Ha! You should have seen me when I was your age!

Maria said.

Qrow smiles as the two of them look out the cockpit's window to the night sky. After awhile, Qrow looked back at Shadow and Isolde.

Maria: Is something the matter?

Qrow: Yeah... I... have questions on how Icepop managed to get Isolde back to our World.... usually it is impossible after what she did but... he somehow did what no one else could.... beat the baddest enemy and bring her back....

Maria: His mother, I take it?

Qrow: .... yeah....

Maria: Well, the time will come when either she or he'll tell you. You'll just have to wait it out until he wakes up or she opens her mouth. Give them time.

Maria said.

Hearing this, Qrow nods at Maria's words.

In the back of the Manta, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Tenka, Blake, Mitchell and Hiro can be seen sitting together.

Weiss: I'm sorry you went through that nightmare. But I'm glad Yang and the others were there for you in time.

Weiss said.

Blake and Yang smiled before Yang takes Blake's hand, for Tenka and Mitchell to notice this, smiling at the site.

Yang: We're there for each other.

Yang said.

Blake turned and smiled at Yang after hearing her say that.

Nora: Took the words right out of my mouth.

Nora said.

Then, everyone looked at Ruby who's sitting with the sleeping Shadow as she noticed everyone looking at her, causing her to stand up while feeling nervous.

Ruby: Hey, stop it!

Ruby said.

Ren: You petrified a Leviathan.... after diving down the barrel of a cannon with Shadow and Brave!

Ren mentioned.

Ruby laughed nervously.

Ruby: Don't act like you all haven't done crazy stuff before! I mean, Oscar made a successful crash landing! He's a fourteen-year-old farm hand!

Jaune: That was seriously impressive.

Dylan & Jacob: Yeah, it is!

Brave: I would have to agree with that, I saw the whole thing.

Apollonir: nods

Blake: We'd have been stranded without you.

They praised.

Oscar: I... thanks, but... I've been meaning to tell you guys... I didn't land the ship on my own. Brave wasn't the only one who helped.... Ozpin kinda came in and helped out.

Oscar said.

Nora: Ozpin took control?!

Oscar: No, he guided me.... And then he was gone again....

Oscar said.

Yang: Does that mean he's been watching us this whole time?

Yang asked.

Oscar: I don't know, but.... it at least means he was looking out for us.

Oscar replied.

Everyone ponders this revelation before they hear Shadow waking up from his sleep to recuperate his strength, slowly standing up from lying on his mother's lap.

Everyone: Shadow!

They said as they stood in front of him after he got up.

Seeing Shadow standing up, his teammates and his lover went up for a hug, for Shadow to embrace them.

Ruby: I'm so glad you are okay.... I thought... we thought we lost you....

Tenka: yeah.... you had everyone at the edge of our seats and worried when we saw you unconscious. 

Pallad: But! The good news was... she came and saved you from sinking down into the waters below after the hard fight while you were out.

They said.

Shadow looked at his mom, for him to nod at what went on, recapping what went down before he went out cold. Then, his father came up to him, for Shadow's friends to step aside as he placed his hand on his shoulder.

Apollonir: You did something that no mere mortal or immortal could have done. You should be proud.

Shadow: Thanks, dad...

Apollonir: But, there is one question I need to know. How did you bring your mother back?

Apollonir ask.

Shadow: Well... the Gods of Light, Darkness and Order were about to transfer their powers out from me,.... but I didn't let them and made a bargain. They can have their powers back, ONLY if they give something back in return.

Haruto: And that would mean your mother?

Shadow: Correct.

Ren: Power reversal? That's-

Shadow: Yes. Once the reversal was complete, I was weakened for a moment. Gladly, a few hours of recuperation has paid off. But I wasn't expecting to almost drown until mom came...

Shadow explained.

Hearing this, Apollonir slowly walked up to his spouse and shed a tear.

Apollonir: I.... I...

Isolde: ssssshhhh.... it's okay, my Dragon. I'm here... thanks to our son...

Isolde said while consoling Apollonir as she embraced him.

Apollonir embraced back soon after.

Apollonir: You're... just as beautiful as the day you left us...

Apollonir said.

Isolde: .... I know.... wipe away the tears, my love.... i'm here now...

Isolde said, for Apollonir to wipe his tears away during the embrace.

While their embrace, Shadow stepped in as he too embraced them in a great big hug, smiling, for everyone to witness this to have smiles on their faces.

As the embrace was still going on, Qrow turned back to call everyone to see the view, when he saw a family embrace that he hasn't seen for a very long time. After a brief moment, he spoke up.

Qrow: Hey, if you've never seen Atlas in person before, you don't wanna miss this.

Qrow said.

Hearing this, the reunited family broke the embrace as the group walked up to the cockpit window.

Ruby: Is it weird that I'm sorta nervous?

Yang: No, I'll believe we've made it to Atlas when I see it.

Weiss: Well... believe it.

Tenka: As here we are.

Shadow: .... Atlas.

They said.

The Manta comes out of the clouds, and the floating city of Atlas is seen coming to view.

Rachel & Nora: Wow!

They said.

Maria: You know, you make the trip up to Atlas over and over, but you never get used to that view.

Maria said, when her prothetic eyes began to act up again.

Maria: Oh, come on!

Maria exclaimed.

Then, Shadow, Tenka and Ruby noticed Weiss leaning forward and has a nervous look on her face.

Ruby: Weiss? What is it?

Tenka: It looks like you have a hunch on something, do you?

Ruby and Tenka ask.

Everyone looks up to notice this, as well, turning to where Weiss is looking and  noticed above the city of Atlas many Atlas Warships.

Weiss: The Atlas Air Fleet.... I knew all of our ships were called back, but...

Qrow: They're set up like they're expecting an attack...

Qrow said.

Suddenly, the radio turns on.

Atlas Air Control (By via Radio): Manta 5-1, welcome home.

Air Control said.

----MEANWHILE----

At the Land of Darkness,

Mercury is looking out the window in the throne room, when Emerald walks in.

Emerald: Mercury... I wanted to...

Just as Emerald is about to continue, she suddenly notices Mercury's face has an expression of horror as he looks out the window. Emerald looks at Mercury's direction to see Salem down there at the black pool-like tar pit with a Beringel Grimm crawling out of the pool.

Emerald: What is she doing?

Emerald ask.

Down at the pits, a Beringel can be seen completely emerged from the pool pits, with Salem standing close by it. Then, they both witnessed their master use her magic on the Beringel as Nevermore Wings suddenly sprout out from its back. 

Getting used to its new appendages, the Beringel flew up to join many other Beringels which also have Nevermore Wings, as they await their master's orders.

Emerald and Mercury continued to watch in horror when a familiar voice spoke up.

Gemdeus Machina: There is an old saying, my friends.

Gemdeus Machina said.

The two teens turned to notice Gemdeus Machina and Hazel entering the room to stand next to them.

Gemdeus Machina: If you want something done right.... do it yourself.

Gemdeus Machina stated.

Salem looked up to her army of Grimm she has gathered, before turning around and using all of her magic on the black pool pits again, conjuring and summoning forth, an even more powerful Grimm.
