Next Day

4 hours before the fall

Ironwood, team RWBY and I are now in the infirmary.

Ironwood: I'm sorry of what happened.

Yang: But he almost killed me while my arm is burning!

Yang said it with her right arm bandaged with blood stain came from the burn, on it.

Y/n: The video and millions of viewers said otherwise. They even wanted you to get back to the fight after you recovered.

Weiss: But Yang would never do that.

Ruby: Yeah!

Ironwood: You all seem good students and the staff here at Beacon are fully aware that you would never lash out the way you did. Under normal circumstances. But I believe, and hope this to be, nothing more than the result of stress and adrenaline.

Y/n: 'Say that to yourself.'

Ironwood: When you're out on the battlefield, your judgement can become clouded in an instant. Sometimes you see things that simply aren't there. Even after the fight has passed.

Yang: But I didn't-

Y/n: Yang! 

She stopped talking and everyone else is silenced including Ironwood.

Y/n: The only sad truth is when it comes to the people who watched it. Whether it was accident or not, it didn't matter for them. The whole world saw your condition. They're only matter is you get recovered. They're already drawing their own assumptions of it.

Blake: What does that mean?!

Ironwood: We're just getting there. But I'm here to tell you you'll be put on hold for now. We'll find you a new opponent, especially Mercury as well.

Blake: Wait, is it-

Ironwood: It means that match is invalid. We'll find you both a new opponent. Me and your teammate will talk about what happened yesterday.

They left and the whole team talked about what Y/n said about the citizens opinions and facts about it.

Yang: You guys believed me... right?

Ruby: Duh!

Weiss: You may be hotheaded, but not ruthless. 

Yang looks at Blake.

Yang: Blake?

Blake: I want to believe you.

Weiss: Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

Yang began to show tears a little bit 

Yang: Blake?

Blake is still thinking about what Y/n said.

Weiss: How can you say something like that? Yang would never lie to us!

Blake just looked at her reminiscing the old days.

Blake: I had someone very dear to me change. It wasn't in an instant, it was gradual... Little choices began to pile up. He told me not to worry. At first, they were accidents, then it was self-defense. Before long, even I began to think he was right. This is all just... very... familiar.

Yang's tears began to fall.

Blake: But you're not him. And you've never done anything like this before. So, I want to trust you. I will  trust you. But first, I need you to look me in the eyes and tell me he tried to attacked you then your arm starts to burn up. I need you to promise me that you regret having to do what you did.

Yang: *wipes her tears* I saw him tried to attack me. But I tried to fight back. But then my arm starts to ignite fire.

Blake then smirks and glanced at Yang.

Blake: Okay. Thank you.

Yang: I think, I'm gonna rest up.

They stand up and then left.

Blake: We'll get out of your hair.

They go at the hallway and closed the door, leaving her alone.

Weiss: *sighs* This is a mess.

Jaune suddenly opened the door and talked to them about her condition.

Jaune: Is Yang okay?

They saw that the team JNPR is worried about her condition.

Blake: She's doing the best she can. 

Ruby: I hear Mercury and his team rushed back to Haven to be with his family. So, until they land, no one can really question him about what happened.

Suddenly someone intervened.

???: I wouldn't believe that foul lie if I were you.

They saw Amber walking towards them. 

Weiss: It's you...

Ozpin's office

2 hours before the fall

Ozpin: So you're saying that we've all been deceived by three students of Beacon using illusion?

Y/n: Yep. And they put foul lies on all of us.

Ironwood: That's not possible! How did they compete in the tournament then?

Y/n: You know. The usual. Cover-ups, planning behind our backs, and planning to implant negativity on whole Remnant. Just like Qrow said, the queen has pawns.

Ironwood: Then we should act quickly!

Y/n: We can't. But I can. As of now, the messing I did to them made their focus to me, mostly. But their plan still continues.

Ozpin: What do you want to do now?

Y/n: *grins evily* Bully them and make them fear of who's their messing with. 

Ironwood and Ozpin can't help it but feel a weird look on his face.

Ironwood: Just how do you know and do this so well?

Y/n: It's just me being me. Bending the fates and destiny of every enemies and allies I saw.

Y/n just closed the door. 

Match

10 minutes before the fall

Ruby walks to her seat and saw Emerald.

Ruby: Emerald's here?

Ruby goes back into the place and felt weird out. But when she saw Mercury at the hallway.

Ruby: What are you doing? *clicks on her mind* No way!

Mercury: Polarity vs Metal. That could be bad.

Ruby tries to fight him but her weapon is not there.

Oobleck: It is now time to begin the randomization process for our next fight. The first contender is... Penny Polendina from Atlas! And her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!

Inside the match is about to start. Y/n then presses his ear pods.

Y/n: In position?

All Operatives: Yep.

Y/n: Starfall Team?

Starfall: Ready to go!

Y/n: Now... begin operation.

Penny is now battling against Pyrrha. Ruby against Mercury.

Ruby and Mercury is trading punch and kicks. When suddenly a massive scythe caught Mercury when he's using an axe kick to her head.

Mercury: AAAAH! 

He gets hit to the wall by a certain lord lava who used [Molten Scythes]. 

He then heard it talked.

???: Ruby, I'll take care of him. Go! See your friend in there.

Ruby didn't questioned as she uses her dash to save them.

Mercury: You're not getting away!

Mercury starts to run much faster to her but suddenly he gets by Thamuz and throws him to the wall again and again.

The battle gets intense. Emerald began to use illusion on her.

Pyrrha and Penny heard voices.

???/???: No more holding back! Show them why you're huntresses in this world!

They had their eyes narrowed and glowing Aura erupted on their bodies. Penny is green meanwhile Pyrrha is Nordic Gold.

Penny/Pyrrha: HAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Suddenly a great shockwave tremors the entire arena making the protective barrier for the audience seats break; disrupting Emerald's illusion as well.

Emerald: What's going on?!

???: Your downfalls, that's what.

???: You're not the only one who can use such unique skills, Emerald Sustrai!

When she looked back she saw a certain Elven Devil in the illusion.

Selena: Get her.

???: With pleasure...!

She then got bitten by the demon on the head, knocking her unconscious in reality. Selena then kicks her into the arena. 

Meanwhile they watched the spectacle and it revealed the combatants new forms.

Pyrrha: Let's finish this, Penny!

Penny: Yeah!

They both grinned and continues to battle all the while making everyone shock at what they saw, including Cinder who's watching on the sidelines.

Everyone can't see what the combatants attacks are. They move to places to places around the arena too fast. Trading blows to each other while grinning at the intense battle.

Y/n: *smirks*

Penny in V.E.N.O.M form uses the 2nd skill [Puppet-on-a-string] to try and take hold of Pyrrha in Valkyrie form but Pyrrha parried them all using [Spirit Combo] and Pyrrha engages Penny again. 

When Ruby reaches to the arena, she saw Penny and Pyrrha trading blows. She smiles and Mercury is giving in a surprise attack.

Ruby: Penny... She's alive! *tears of happiness*

Mercury: No! You bastards!!!

But suddenly his foot get caught  by Thamuz. Thamuz crushed his foot including the cloaking device inside it and throws him at the stage.

Penny and Pyrrha felt something incoming towards, they kicked the Mercury Black to the back and he got crashed to the wall.. Mercury tries to stand but when he sees Ruby without Thamuz.

Mercury: Who... are you..? *unconscious*

Everyone who were there saw the commotion. The camera zooms towards the unconscious two and the arena stage suddenly gets lowered. They began their doubts on why are they here.

Oobleck: Broadcast, what are you doing? Kill the feed! 

???: Something's wrong! We don't have control over the cams! We can't get control of it!

Oobleck: What? How is that possible?

Then a black queen piece activated.

Cinder: This is not a trage-

Then a static went whole out to the field. Outside, Cinder's phone suddenly breaks as she saw the static.

Everyone else saw this symbol on their screens.

???: We are what you may call Fate/Deniers, the Watch Dogs of your world. All of you who are watching right now. What you see here is one of the reasons why everyone keeps dying for no reason at all. Why the world we live is so twisted, full of contradictions.

Then they saw the cam focuses on two students knocked out to the ground.

???: Firstly, is the gray haired kid where I would bet in Haven right now, students are confused on who they are. Meet Mercury Black, a kicker, a killer, and a betrayer of Haven Academy. Now all of you would be asking why does a mysterious stranger student could kill a parent. Here's why...

The camera zooms closer to his legs and rendered it to HD.

???: Mercury doesn't have any legs at all. It was mechanized or rather, made of machine, customized with a compatible shotgun weapon system on it's hinds. 

The two teams shared a look, and Yang is hunching over her window sill listening to the revelation speech. She straightens and turns to Zwei as it barks to her.

Pyrrha: Let's call it a draw. We need to help the people here.

Penny: As you wish.

They both powered down a little bit.

???: Next one...

The camera zooms towards Emerald Sustrai.

???: Emerald Sustrai. The ones responsible for pickpocketing your stuff if ever encountered a pretty lady like her in the streets. An informant of her boss. Semblance, Illusion. To Pyrrha Nikos, good job on getting through her illusion. And finally...

It changed camera on the drone above the sky. It can see Cinder Fall's location. This got her mad and immediately throws the phone in anger. The whole world are now watching in this revelation. Ironwood began to rise from his seat and march towards to where he's going.

???: Cinder Fall. To anyone who knew her face, then gladly  you remembered but if you don't, here it is. A master of deception and a power hungry brat. These 3 are working to their highest boss of their group. They're not belong to Haven at all, because Haven is just an perfect alibi for their info about themselves. For now let's call their boss, Darkness. Darkness is the one responsible for turning on each other, spilling bloodshed for just what they believed in a lie. Also the one responsible for the Great War happened all those years ago. The stars who are now falling to the skies represents each kingdoms. United by my order, and hereby declare to the Darkness and the three individuals a competition and war against them!

Atlas soldiers keep firing while listening to the revelation message. As each individuals who met the  traitors got mad and prep their weapons for the upcoming war.

???: By the way, Fall of Beacon has erupted and as of now a massive army Grimm are on the way to Beacon. Security is jammed! Everyone who are civilians evac right away! Huntsmen and huntresses... Prepare you're weapons, semblances, and your will. Dedicate your hearts to the battle until the end!!!!!

Then the static goes off and an alert erupted to them.

A.I: Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: 9. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner.

The civilians panicked but then Ironwood came inside the commentator's table.

Ironwood: Ladies and gentlemen, please. There is no need for panic.

Suddenly a Nevermore is on the rooftop and trying to break in.

Sun: A Nevermore?!

Coco: *lowers her glasses* He's right! They're here!

Ren: He predicted it.

Meanwhile Ozpin watches the Vale blaring an alarm. Glynda and Qrow are now looking to Ozpin.

Qrow: Oz.

Ozpin: Get to the city!

Qrow: But-

Ozpin: NOW!

Qrow didn't say anything and glances at Glynda to help out. Mountain Glenn is now a pathway for a massive army of Grimm.

Meanwhile, Ironwood tries to call Ozpin.

Ironwood: Ozpin, the girl, I-I can explain.

Ozpin: It's Y/n. He knows about it and both of them got enhanced thanks to him. *gravely* Now, you brought your army to my kingdom, James. *slams the table* Now use it! 

Meanwhile at the airship

???: This is Blue 4. Blue's 2 and 3, fall into defensive position!

???: Roger! Blue 3, in position!

???: Blue 2, on the way.

???: Make it fast then!

The air space commander ends the call. But he didn't know that Blue Two was Neo. Neo is now on the way to Roman's cell. 

She opens the way and shows him the hat and cane. Neo raises a brow and indicated.

Neo: 'Let's go.'

Roman: Well... it's about time. 

Roman began to get into the helm and controls the ship. He fires the cannons towards the other two.

Roman: It's good to be back!

Meanwhile White Fang are in position including their leader.

Adam: Bring them to their knees!

As roars of Ursa erupted from the docking station. But then Ironwood and Ozpin looked through the window as they saw the skies, stars are falling.
