(Weeeellll, if you're all wondering why THIS chapter is the Volume 2 Finale, well it's rather simple. I'm going on a long trip to California for a while with some of my friends. I will not be able to write anything for the Equinox for at least 2 weeks. So rather than leaving you all with a cliffhanger and not finish up the Volume for over 2 weeks, I figured I should just combine the last two chapters into one mega chapter before going on my trip. And please excuse any grammar errors since I typed all of this in one night and it is very well over 4 am and I have a plane to catch at 6 so I'm not even gonna get any sleep. Welp peace ya'll)

Volume 2 Finale: Family Reunion/ A Warning.

You land with your squirming little sis in your arms. You sigh as you see your team approaching you, obviously incredibly confused.

Sophie:"Okay, we're on the ground so you can put me down now!" You place her down behind you as your team runs up to you

Yang:"(F)! Where have you been!?" Seems like they haven't noticed Sophie yet.

You:"Well I got a little uh...held up?" You say as you step aside as they all see Sophie. Zwei runs up to Sophie and barks excitingly at her

Jack:"Wait, Sophie?"

Sophie:"Oh, hey Jack!"

You:"Well guys, meet Sophie. She's basically Jack and I's adoptive little sister."

Weiss:"Nice to meet you, I'm Weiss."

Blake:"Blake."

Yang:"I'm Yang but...why is she here?"

You:"That's what I'm trying to figure out, turns out she's the person that was watching Team CFVY."

Oobleck:"Excuse me miss Sophie, why would you be out in a place as dangerous as this, alone?"

Sophie:"That's where things get complicated. I'll just say that some people wanted me to come out here so I can meet this 'Equinox' thingy." You all look at her before your team looks at you.

Yang:"Wait, didn't Jack mention that you were the Equinox after the dance?" They all stare at you now.

Sophie:"Hold up a second, YOU'RE the Equinox?" You nod

You:"But moving past that, we'll get all of this Equinox stuff outta the way later, where's Ruby?" You say as Jack visibly gets worried

Jack:"We don't know..."

Yang:"We were hoping you were with her. Zwei ran in and it seems like he's trying to take us to her."

You:"Well let's get a move on then."

(Later)

As the team continues to follow Zwei, you're running beside Jack and Sophie as you see Jack steadily becoming more worried.

You:"You worried?"

Jack:"Of course I am. My girl is out there alone with Grimm all around us and we're in White Fang territory!" You sigh.

You:"You don't need to worry about her so badly. We both have seen first hand just how capable our leader is."

Jack:"I know, but since the whole girlfriend thing, I'm just getting so riled. Because when we find out whoever or whatever took her, you can bet there's going to be some nasty consequences." You hear Sophie giggling which turns into slight laughter.

Sophie:"Hold up, Jack has a girlfriend?" She bursts out laughing "Next you'll tell me that (F) has one too." You both look at her condescendingly. As she raises an eyebrow "Wait, do you?" You nod "Woooooooow, never would've guessed girls would even talked to you, let alone want to be with you. That's priceless!" She bursts out laughing as her clothes have black markings again.

You:"You know, you've become waaaayyy sassier last I remember, where'd the sweet innocent you go?"

Sophie:"Think I kinda changed when I grabbed those two stupid blades. I'm either super nice or super sassy, depends." Her clothes change back to pure white. She's starting to seem kinda drained.

Jack:"Wait blades? And did your clothes just change?"

You/Sophie:"Long story."

Yang:"Ruby's Scythe!" Jack snaps his head over and bolts over to Zwei as Ruby's Scythe is on the ground next to a big hole in the ground. Jack picks it up as his hands slightly tremble with worry.

Blake:"Oh no..." Weiss approaches the hole in the ground and looks down at it.

Weiss:"Do you think she fell in?" Oobleck zooms over

Oobleck:"Fell!?" Oobleck looks around, not seeing the giant hole beneath him.

Weiss:"Down there..." She says while looking down into the hole.

Oobleck:"Oh my..." He gets up and looks like he's just realized something. "Of course...Of course, of course, of course!"

Blake:"What is it?!" Oobleck begins walking around

Oobleck:"How could I be so stupid!?"

Yang:"Doctor Oobleck, what's wrong?" Oobleck dashes over to Yang, stopping very close to her face.

Oobleck:"Mountain Glenn! Yes! An expansion of Vale that was inevitably destroyed by creatures of Grimm!" Oobleck zooms over to Blake getting close to her face. "Previously home to thousand of people!" He goes back to being in Yang's face "Working people, commuting to the city. The main city." He again goes to Blake "Developed a subway system to the inner city." Oobleck then rushes over to Weiss getting her face as well "Grimm attacks increase! Population in danger, now desperately searching for shelter!" He zooms over to you "City evacuates into metro tunnels" He zooms over to Jack."and what do they find!?" He zooms over to Zwei as well "The South-East Quadrant of Vale is known for wild forests and deep caves!"

Yang:"Doc, what are you saying?" Oobleck zooms back to Yang and grabs her shoulder

Oobleck:"My dear, we are not searching for an underground crime network. We're searching for an UNDERGROUND CRIME NETWORK!!!" Well...

Sophie:"Knew it!" You all look over at Sophie.

You:"You...knew?"

Sophie:"Well I saw White Fang coming through here while out on patrols, main reason as to why I stick to rooftops. But I always wondered where they would run off to."

Blake:"They've been working in caves?"

Oobleck:"Exactly. You see, Mountain Glenn was Vale's first serious attempt at expanding. It worked for a short period of time thanks to an aggressive perimeter defense and unique transportation. The city developed an elaborate subway system to carry citizens safely from the new territory into the main Kingdom. Sadly, without the many natural barriers Vale had to protect its borders, Mountain Glenn was doomed from the start. As the end drew near, the citizens of the territory made one last attempt at survival. They took shelter beneath the city, in massive caves that they had cleared out for the subway. And they had cut themselves off from the surface."

Yang:"A-an underground village?"

Oobleck:"In a matter of speaking, yes. A...A safe haven. Until...an explosion opened the mouth of another cavern...filled with subterranean Grimm." You look down sadly... that sounds horrifying. "After that...the Kingdom officially sealed off the tunnels, creating the world's largest tomb." Jack breaths in sharply, obviously worrying for Ruby "If Ruby is down there..." He takes out his coffee mug as it..turns into a bat...huh... "We must find her..." You nod as you look down back at Zwei as he barks at you all and runs off again. He stops behind a wall, lightly growling. You peak your head out of the corner to see two White Fang members keeping guard at a door. The rest of the group has appeared behind you, Jack recklessly bolts over to them with Sophie quickly following suit.

WF Member:"WHAT THE HELL-!?" The two guards are thrown off completely by surprise as Jack grabs one of them and wraps himself in lightning before shocking him as at the same time Sophie materialized one of her blades from the air before hitting him with the hilt of her blade. Sending him crashing into the door behind them. The door is burst open as you and the rest of the team look at them confused, seemingly due to their erratic behavior.

You:"Well, that's one way of dealing with the guards." You all slowly enter the underground city as you see multiple White Fang members beginning to look over to you all "Well Yang. Care to do the honors?" Yang smirks before doing her signature pose with her hair becoming lit up with fire.

Yang:"With pleasure!" she yells as she slams her fist into the ground causing the ground to burst upwards, blasting multiple White Fang into the air as a MASSIVE earthquake ensues.

It seems like the entire area is on high alert now as MANY White Fang and Torchwick members start rushing towards you and shooting at you. You glance over at Jack and Sophie as Jack forms Lightning around him as his Tempest materializes into his hands as Sophie calls forth her Lux and Nox blades as her jacket forms black patterns again, you begin to unsheathe your Kitsune as it shines brightly along with your Ring and clothes as your Kitsune is coated in bright unstable white flames. For a split second those vein-like cracks formed on your skin but immediately fade away as your clothes glow for a bit.

The White Fang and Torchwick members begin running at you all as you all dash at them. Jack seems to be quite pissed off with these guys as he wraps lightning around himself before becoming a bolt of lightning and blasting past most of the enemies coming at you as they all get electrocuted while getting knocked back. He seems to be searching for Ruby as he leaves you guys behind with immense speed. You notice that he's left quite the impression with them as your enemies are now all currently running away while shooting back at you all. You burst towards a group of them as you slam your Kitsune into the ground as a massive white explosion engulfs you and the surrounding White Fang/Torchwick members and they get blasted back.

As you guys continue running you can hear the fate voice of Jack and Torchwick. You all continue firing at the currently retreating forces before running onto train tracks and you see Torchwick, Ruby, and Jack. Torchwick is holding Jack in the air by his neck as Ruby jumps on top of Torchwick and forces Torchwick's hat to go over his eyes as Torchwick lets go of Jack, grabs Ruby and throws her down. Ruby and Jack dash over to you all

Torchwick:"Somebody kill them!" He raises his cane and his scope goes up as he fires repeatedly with White Fang members all shooting at them but luckily they all have terrible aim as they can easily evade the incoming fire. Torchwick bends his metal cane in frustration as he walks away saying something. You can't focus as a group of White Fang members aim at Ruby before being blasted away by one of Yang's homing shots. Ruby runs up to you all as Yang hugs Ruby in happiness and spins her around.

Yang:"Ruby!" She places her down as Ruby looks at Sophie for a bit, obviously wondering who she is.

Weiss:"Are you okay?" You look over at the train to see that it's starting to move.

Ruby:"I'm fine! I'm fine! But listen...Torchwick's got all sorts of weapons and robots down there."

You:"Uh...hey guys-?" You get interrupted by Blake.

Blake:"What?" The train's moving now.

Ruby:"Androids, mechs-they're all loaded up on the train cars."

Oobleck: "Ahhhh, that's ridiculous. These tunnels are sealed, the tracks lead to a dead-end."

Roman(Speakers): "Get to your places, we are leaving now!"You see that the train has started moving as the train moves towards the tunnels.

Yang: Well, it sounds like they're going somewhere."

Ruby:"Wait, We need backup. Let me call Jaune." She grabs her scroll and dials Jaune's number, only for it to not go through with a low signal notification popping up.

Ruby: "I can't get through!"

Weiss:"So, what do we do?"

Oobleck:"I believe we only have one option..." Ruby turns around facing the train.

Ruby:"We're stopping that train!" You nod at her as you all run at full speed towards the train.

Both Ruby and Jack speed onto the train. You use your Semblance to burst onto the train and see Sophie scrape her Lux blade against the ground as a bridge of light forms underneath the rest of the team and carry them onto the train. The team glances at her

Yang:"Thanks." You all divert your attention to see a White Fang member who seems to have seen most of this. He gets out his walkie-talkie.

WF Member:"I think they're on the tra-" He gets hit in the head with Oobleck's bat, knocking him out cold...though it seems like the other White Fang members still know you're on the train.

Oobleck:"Hurry, students! We must get to the front and stop this train!" You notice that Weiss is still holding the hatch which you came up from open...

Weiss:"Err... Professor?" Weiss points down into the hatch as Oobleck dashes over to her.

Oobleck:"Doctor..." He says in a annoyed manner

Weiss:"What's that?" All of Team RWBY looks at the device

Jack:"Obviously it's probably a waffle maker." You all glance at Jack in confusion.

Oobleck:"That my dear..." He points at it as he gets on his knees to get a better look at it. "Appears to be a bomb." All of team RWBY along with you jump back a bit.

Jack:"Well then, waffles of doom."

Sophie:"I don't know what scarier, the fact that we're all huddled around a bomb or how calm you were in pointing that out."

Ruby:"We've got baddies!" You look away from the bomb to see dozens of White Fang members climbing to the top of the train. Fun.

Oobleck:"Well, I didn't expect them to go-" Oobleck stops as you all hear a beeping sound and look down back at the bomb to see it blinking and beeping...well that ain't good. "-easy on us..." he says discouraged and quickly stands up and points his finger in the air "Time to go!" You with the rest of the group start running onto the next cart as Oobleck stops Blake

Oobleck"Blake! Detach the caboose! It will kill us all!"...A Caboose trying to kill teammates? Hmm, sounds familiar.

Blake:"On it!" Blake jumps down to detach the caboose as you all stand at the ready as your enemies begin to make your way towards you all "Huh!? It decoupled itself!" You all glance back surprised

Oobleck:"What?!" he says looking down to where Blake is.

Yang:"I guess he REALLY doesn't want us on this train." You feel like there's more to it then that as you look at the decoupled caboose and it lags behind and explodes.

Oobleck:"That's not good..." You look to see Ruby opening the hatch of this cart and...yet another bomb is inside it.

Ruby:"Uh, neither is this!"

Blake:"Another bomb?!" You've got a bad feeling about this... Oobleck looks back to where the detached caboose was and to the carts in front.

Oobleck:"No. No. No..." He mumbles to himself as he hops to the next cart and stops opens the hatch to see that there's one in there too... "They ALL have bombs!!" You hear the bomb activate and start beeping, the cart you and the others are on decouples itself forcing you and the others to run onto the next one. You all turn back to see the cart you were on fall behind

Yang:"This doesn't make sense!" You all look back as you see White Fang members walk over to you as more appear. You run past Oobleck as you hold your flaming Kitsune defensively as the rest of team RWBY along with Sophie ready their weapons in a defensive position.

As Team RWBY begins their assault on the incoming White Fang forces, Multiple White Fang members run at you as you swing your Kitsune with all your might as a wave of explosions burst from your Kitsune and blast back the incoming White Fang members, you feel your Ring telling you to duck which you instantly do so as you see a sword swing right over your head as you drive your foot backwards before grabbing his leg and swinging him around before explosively knocking him into other White Fang members. You look up to see 3 White Fang members jumping at you as you place your hang on the roof of the train as ice shoots up from the train and freeze them in mid-air. You look past the ice to see multiple White Fang members. You back up before surrounding yourself in explosions in a cyclone fashion as you burst through the ice and blast multiple White Fang off of the train.

You:"Oops...hope they live, ouch." You say while looking back and seeing maaannnyyy types of Grimm running after the train "Oh God now I just feel like a dick..." Oobleck notices you looking back in concern and does the same

Oobleck:"Oh, dear..." they seem to be pouring out from the holes from the explosions"He's leading Grimm to the city!"

Weiss" What?"

Oobleck:"It's the cars! They detach and explode, creating openings for the Grimm!"

Blake:"That's insane!" Another train car behind you detaches itself.

Oobleck:"We have to hurry! You six, go below and try to stop those bombs!"

Ruby:"What about us?"

Oobleck:"We're going to stop this train." He says while standing heroically

Ruby:"Yeah, I know. I said that earlier." You run off into the nearest hatch with Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jack, and Sophie and jump in it.

Yang:"I guess this is what we trained for."

Sophie:"Heh, 'train'ed, eh? Get it?" Jack groans as you and Yang smile smugly

Yang:"I like you." She says approvingly to Sophie. You see Weiss get out a magazine filled with Dust vials and hands it to Blake.

Weiss:"Here. This should help you." Blake grabs it and loads it in her Gambol Shroud. You begin running down the corridor and into the other carts.

You:"You know, I thought these carts would be filled to the brim with White Fang and Torchwick gang members but I guess not-" You all stop suddenly as you see your uh..ex...Neo..You simply freeze as Neo blows you a kiss and smiles at you while you frown at her.

You:"Neo..." Yang seems pissed off by that... "I'll keep her busy, you guys-" Yang places her hand up, stopping you.

Yang:"No...this is personal for me now too...You five go on ahead. This one's mine." You look over at Yang.

You:"...Yang I-"

Yang:"Just go!" She says while looking back with her red scarlet eyes...You look hesitant at first before you nod and you all run towards the next cart until Neo charges her attack only for her having to jump back as Yang fires her Ember Celica twice at her, giving you all the chance to evade her...the two of them begin to fight as you enter the next room......

Sophie:"Well uh...what happened there?"

You:"Well...my girlfriend is fighting my ex to put it bluntly..."

Sophie:"Jeez..."

You:"...Yeah." You say, you can't help but think that you should be with her for this.

Weiss:"Those feelings must have been building up in Yang for a while now considering how angry she was..."

Blake:"Well, I know you're worried (F). But we can't focus on that right now." You nod slowly

You:"You're right." You can only hope that she'll be okay...problem is that Neo isn't anyone like Yang has faced before in terms of combat style..., no, she'll be fine. She's your fiery love after all...

You enter the next cart as you all hear the sound of something metal dragging against the floor...you look up to see a White Fang Lieutenant as he's dragging a Chainsaw-type weapon against the ground, making your ears want to die with the grinding sound it's creating.

Weiss:"You four go on ahead!"

Blake:"Got it!" Weiss dashes up to the Lieutenant going to block before evading backwards as the Lieutenant slams his chainsaw into the ground to where she was standing.

You run into the next cart to see......

Somnus:"I never thought I had such DISGRACEFUL SONS!" He slams his foot on the ground in rage as the entire cart shakes violently. You all stop as you and Jack both freeze on the spot, terrified.

Blake:"W-wait...your guys's dad is Commander Somnus!?"

Somnus:"Ah, I see we have the Adam's little runaway love here as well." Blake face looks fierce in rage as he looks over at Sophie and smiles evilly as she freezes with fear. "And the little inferior runt I wanted you to kill long ago..." You grow angry as you step in front of Sophie protectively. "We have all the mistakes that the White Fang wants to get rid of in one room...must be my lucky day." He says while taking out his Thanatos and switches into two chained blades, the chains wrapping around his forearms, the blades beginning to heat up with a orange glow.

You:"Blake, keep going. We'll handle this!"

Blake:"But-!"

You:"GO!" You say while your body forms ice around your face and your Kitsune is coated in ice." She runs past as your father laughs.

Somnus:"Smart, wouldn't want to get a stranger to get involved in a family matter." Jack wraps himself in lightning and stands at the ready as Sophie's coat turns pitch black as she places her hood on, her body starting to form a very dark lavender aura around her as she looks on in rage, only wielding her Nox blade.

You all dash at him as all your blades clash against his. He laughs as he easily overtakes you all and slams you all back as his semblance upheaves the floor and forms razor sharp spikes around you all as they go to stab at you, you quickly blast your way out and see that Jack used his speed to get out, you look back to see the spikes around Sophie completely disintegrate. You feel your Ring reacting violently to her. You quickly coat yourself in ice as your father dashes at you with violent unrelenting strength as he clashes against your blade.

You:"So, you're planning to kill us!? What are you gonna even tell mom if you do!?" Somnus laughs

Somnus:"Oh, Stella? Once I tie up loose ends with you, I'll be sure to do the same with her!" You grow in fury as you hear the sizzling of the polar opposite blades crashing against each other as you fall on one knee trying your absolute hardest to not be overtaken. He slams his foot on the ground as his foot is covered in steel spikes from the train's floor as kicks you in the side as you cry out in pain as blood pours out from your side. You drop down as he swings down on your head. Jack quickly bolts in and kicks him back before becoming a bolt of lightning and knocking into him multiple times. You can feel your father's rage growing as he roars and whips around his scorpion tail and stabs Jack in the leg from the air.

You:"JACK!!!" You hear Jack cry out in pain as your father grabs him and slams him into the ground violently before kicking him away from him. He lies there, barely breathing as the venom courses through his body "YOU BASTARD!" You burst at him and fire a relentless wave of explosions into him as he covers himself with his wings that burst from his back. They smoke as he switches his fire chain blades to his axe as it gets coated in ice as he slams it into the ground as ice explodes from his axe and sends you flying back, you were frozen solid, which is frightening considering your Semblance. You begin to heat yourself up with your combustion.

Sophie(Distorted):"You're gonna pay for what you've done!!!" You can barely see Sophie blare at him, completely covered in an aura of black mist. Her eyes piercing through the black mist with a bright glowing gold color. As she unleashes a ferocious barrage of attacks with her Nox blade as she uses her blinding speed to hit him multiple times around him. Your father's incredibly tough skin is making sure her attacks aren't having much of an effect. She grabs him by the head and uses her force to bring her up over him and slam him ferociously into the ground as the cart shakes violently before slashing at him incredibly fast at a specific area in his chest. She blares back as she lands on the ground, feral-like as your father gets up, you see that his chest has a bloody X on it right before thrusting her Nox blade into your father's chest...she made that X to wear down the toughness of his skin before finishing the job......But your father simply laughs.

Somnus:"Now THAT!" He grabs the Nox blade in his chest before ripping it out and grabbing Sophie by the neck "Was impressive..." She struggles to breathe as you hear her gasping for air, her jacket returns to its white color and her dark aura fades. Your fury grows tremendously.

You:"LET GO OF HER, YOU BASTARD!" You say while bursting at him and axe kicking him explosively, he grabs your leg before slamming you into the ground.

Somnus:"There have been VERY few people who have actually drawn blood from my skin, I won't let another one live." He tightens his grip as you see your little sister's life fade from her eyes.

You feel your skin growing hot as your white vein cracks form and flare red and fade away as your clothes change from your regular color to fiery red. You get up with unstable white explosions emanating from your body, black ice forming on the ground beneath you. Your eyes flaring Lavender and Cosmic Blue. Your Ring burning incredibly bright.

You:"That's enough!!!!" You yell as your voice produces a shockwave. You take a step as you automatically appear in front of your 'father' and you grab the hand that's choking your little Sophie. You grip it as you hear his arm bone crack and break. He yells in pain as he immediately lets go of Sophie as she drops to the ground, unconscious. You see that you left severe 3rd degree burns on his arm, he tries to take a swing at you as you stomp your foot on the ground and black ice engulfs him, leaving his face uncovered. He shivers

Somnus:"W-when...t-t-the hell?" He says while shivering as the temperature in the room drops well below freezing. "You think this is enough to beat me!?" He yells as the ice begins to crack. You grab both Jack and Sophie incredibly fast as you place them both gently on the ground behind you. Somnus bursts through the ice as you roars ferociously as he dashes at you. You ready your fist as your fist glows with a fiery color, the potent flames surrounding your fist immediately evaporates the ice in the room. Your ring glows violently as your clothes flare red as he collides with your fist as a bright light engulfs you all.

(Later)

You wake up to see that...the train's wrecked? You're all collapsed on the side of the train, you look to see that the inside of the train's been completely scorched and half of the train seems to have exploded... you quickly look behind you worried and see that your siblings are just fine, passed out, but alive. Last thing you remember is colliding with your dad's fist...you look back to where you hit him, but that part of the train is gone, along with multiple other carts infront of it...seemed to have been blasted off, so have the most of the other carts in front of you...did...you just kill your dad?

You hear a siren outside as you get up and look outside to see that you're in Vale? You see debris of the train everywhere. You look to see shards of ice everywhere and Team RWBY, Zwei, Oobleck. You hear rumbling next to you as a King Taijitu emerges from a giant hole made from the train...They've made it into Vale.

You feel worn out as your body continuously trembles, your clothes are back to its normal color. You look back to Sophie and Jack and pick both of them up on your shoulders before dropping out of the train wreck and falling onto the ground next to Team RWBY.

Yang:"(F)!?" You all slowly begin to get up. You feel the pain in your torso now as the blood loss from the wound your loving father gave you as starting to make you drained.

You:"What happened?" Team RWBY looks at you as they have all readied their weapons as they're on a small platform. Completely surrounded by Grimm with a King Taijitu Grimm just flaring it's fangs. They all look at you, Jack and Sophie worried...they can clearly tell you've wasted all of your energy.

Yang:"(F)?"

You:"Yeah?"

Ruby:"Get yourselves outta here."

Jack:"Sorry sweetie, not leaving till this is over." He says while severely pale with the venom still running through his body. Sophie coughs violently

Sophie(Raspy):"Yea, I can totally go another round." She says while calling forth both her Lux and Nox blades, still coughing terribly.

Weiss:"Jeez, what happened to you guys?"

You/Jack:"Our dad happened."

You:"Now then, let's do this!" You say while bursting yourself high into the air before switching your Kitsune into dual-glaive mode, coating each with unstable flames and frost before flinging both into a large group of Grimm. Half of the Grimm are frozen solid while the other are incinerated by your blast as you burst yourself right onto the head of an Ursa and you bury it deep into the ground with ice shards flinging out from beneath the ground impaling multiple surrounding Grimm. You notice that all of Team RWBY has followed your example and have started battling the incoming Grimm. You see Sophie going ballistic as she's high in the air as multiple homing beams of light and dark tear through multiple Grimm. You not paying attention to what's happening around you, nearly got your head sliced by an Alpha Beowolf. Luckily Jack bolts past you and blasts through the Alpha Beowolf while being a bolt of lightning. He lands next to you as you both go back to back as multiple Grimm types surround you. Two of 'em being King Taijitu.

Jack:"What happened to dad?" He says as you yell

You:"Get down!" You switch your blade into 9-whip razor mode as you swing them around you as he immediately ducks down as it tears through multiple attacking Beowolves. They seem to be at bay now, waiting to strike. "Well I don't know, I collided with him and when I woke up he was gone." Jack quickly calls forth lightning to strike down multiple times around you both, taking out multiple Grimm.

Jack:"Wait...did you kill him?" He asks while looking at you, you look past him and fire an unstable fireball at a cocky Beowolf beginning to run at him that causes a massive explosion to take out dozens of Beowolves behind it.

You:"Look we'll talk about this later. We need to focus." He nods as your eyes turn Lavender and Cosmic Blue as your clothes turn red yet again as a flame barrier protects you both. Jack uses this to focus his Semblance as storm clouds form above you both as he nods at you as you take down the flame barrier and he bolts up into the clouds as torrents of lightning strike him as he is literally completely covered in lightning. You burst up to him as you grab his arm and blast him down and follow after him as you both slam into the ground and a massive thunder clap follows with an incredible blinding display of lightning blasts and massive pillars of flames bursting from the ground covering a massive radius wiping most of the Grimm surround you both. You look around to see that more Grimm just keep coming as a King Taijitu that was watching you all is going to strike at Ruby. Before you could even attempt to save her you hear the sound of something firing off, you look to where the sound was to see Nora? She's riding on her hammer just flying towards you all before grabbing it with both hands and flies at the King Taijitu

Nora:"Nora Smash!!!" She yells as she slams her hammer on the Grimm's head as it flies into the ground destroying the ground around it.

You:"Nice!" She smiles very big as the rest of Team JNPR appear behind her "Guessing you guys are here to join the party?" They quickly nod at you before Pyrrha speaks

Pyrrha:"Let's move!" She yells while raising her fist before everyone except Jaune dashes off to fight, who seems to have forgotten that he was the leader for a second there before dashing along with them. Your Ring warns you to dodge as you fling yourself to the side as the other King Taijitu slams its fangs into the ground. You engulf yourself with unstable flames but stop as you see Yang burst in and crush the King Taijitu into the ground, shattering its skull.

You:"Gotta admit! That was pretty hot." She smirks as you both go back to back as multiple Grimm begin to dash at you

Yang:"Baby you know it." She glances at you, she seems a bit distressed, maybe it might've been her fight with Neo...

You:"So how was fighting-" You move Yang to the side as you slam your fist into the ground as a gigantic trail of explosions blast back a giant wave of Grimm. Well your Combustion definitely seem more deadly with this red clothes mode of yours"-Neo?" You're gonna call this mode of your clothes Combustion mode. Makes sense doesn't it?

Yang:"She uh...kinda nearly killed me?" You look at her surprised as she pushes you to the side before firing multiple homing shots at incoming Beowolves as they get blasted away.

You:"Really?" You slam your foot into the ground as pillars of unstable fire shoot up in a linear path right into multiple waves of Grimm.

Yang:"Yeah...but I think my mom saved me?" You say while completely dropping your guard.

You:"What!?" You yell as Yang yells

Yang:"Watch out!" Yang knocks you out of the way before ramming her fist downwards to a Death Stalker that popped out of the ground with its stinger right next to your head. She buries the Death Stalker deep into the ground. "We'll talk about it later babe, along with other stuff we NEED to talk about."

You:"Am I in trouble?"

Yang:"No! Nothing like that! Just all this Equinox stuff is starting to frustrate me when I don't understand what's happening!" You nod "Hey, let's try Meteorstrike!" She yells while blasting a couple of Beowolves back

You:"Yaaaass!" You blast yourself upwards high into the air before causing rapid explosions at an angle to cause a Flame tornado to engulf you, Yang then jumps and uses the recoil from her Ember Celica to fly towards your flame tornado and her hair becomes fiery and send her fist rocketing into your tornado as the Tornado explodes into a massive Fiery Meteor with you and Yang inside it, again you feel your Ring burning against your skin as the Meteor's flames turn into a raging blue color. The meteor collides against a massive pack of Grimm as a humongous explosion covers the entirety of the Grimm around your area. Incinerating all of them on the spot. You both emerge from the massive crater left behind by your attack as Yang looks on happily

Yang:"Yes! We actually hit something with that!" She kisses you on the cheek quickly "Well seems like this area's clear, let's split up and search for more!" You nod as you both burst away from each other. You land on top of a building and see Jaune who uh...seems to be facing off against a larger than normal Ursa.

Jaune:"Oh-oh-okay, you're first, huh? Okay, no, that's fine. Totally fine, done this before, done this before..." he takes a deep breath before shouting and slices at the Ursa repeatedly. It stands there for a second before it falls down. Well damn! Good stuff Jaune.

You(In mind):"Nice job Jaune." You look around to see that Sun and Neptune have arrived...who show off their shiny junior detective badges...you can feel Jack's heart breaking knowing he cannot wear one of those.

Sun:"Nobody move! Junior detectives!"

Neptune:"We have badges so you know it's official." They are such dorks...then again you're a major dork as well soooo

You hear the roar of airships coming your way as you look up to see several Atlesian-class Dropships roar overhead along with General Ironwood's very own flagship which is rather massive. You've all stopped fighting to stare at the incoming fleet, you didn't even notice the Ursa that was about to strike at Ruby before it gets gunned down by a dropship's mini-gun. The Airships begin to drop dozens of the new Atlesian Knight-200 that you've been hearing about and they begin firing into the hoards of Grimm. You see Team ICRS absolutely tearing apart multiple hords of Grimm. Izunia stops and looks at you with anger as he notices your Lavender and Cosmic Blue eyes. You look and see Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald all emerge from the chaos as well, all of them seemingly perfectly fine and not surprised by this at all...you always felt off about themAll of a sudden a metal hand shoots up from one of the holes created by the train.

You(In mind):"Oh what now!?" You burst down back into the action again and raise your Kitsune as you see a damaged Paladin come out as your favorite pupper jumps out YAY! And immediately take out a nearby Beowolf. You feel relieved to see that he's okay...oh and Oobleck too you guess. You look up to see that a dropship is dropping off Professor Port and...YES TEAM CFVY, love those guysTeam CFVY lands on the ground and dashes off as Yatsuhashi walks behind as a pack of Grimm surround him, he takes out his massive Greatsword as he slams into the ground creating a devastating shockwave sending every Grimm around him flying. You look over to where the Rest of Team CFVY ran off to see that Fox and Velvet are repeatedly punching and kicking a Grimm as Fox looks to see an Spiked Ursa charging before unleashing a series of combos of slashes and kicks before sending the Ursa flying before it explodes sending the Ursa's spikes everywhere, taking out any Grimm near it. Well that was brutal you look to see Coco walk past Fox before giving him a pat on the butt you somehow forgot that Coco was like that. Maybe you should remember considering she was just a tad bit flirty with you when you sparred with her...and you're slightly ashamed to admit that you were just a bit flirty back with her...of course you weren't dating Yang at the time but Yang still wasn't too happy about that.

Coco:"Nice hustle, Fox. Good job." she walks up to a large Beowolf before she lowers her sunglasses so the Beowolf could see her eyes. "You just destroyed my favorite clothing store." She readjusts her sunglasses again so they're in place before she spits on the ground "Prepare to die." Never mess with a women's clothing store... Never. The Beowolf slices at her but its hand is immediately knocked out of the way by Coco swatting its hand seemingly effortlessly before kicking it in the crotch, as it falls to its knees. Coco leans down and looks at it in the eyes before swinging her bag back and slamming it into the Grimm's head. More Grimm charge at her as she effortlessly swats away all of them as Velvet grabs the box on her side...you're curious to see WHAT her weapon is...you've never seen it before. She's about to open it before Velvet raises her hand at her.

Coco:"Hey, come on, you just spent all the semester building that up. Don't waste it here." She then turns her bag into A GIANT FREAKIN' MINI-GUN WHICH YOU SOMEHOW FORGOT ABOUT As she slaughters every Grimm in the area as Giant Nevermores begin to fly in she directs her fire into the sky and tears them to shreds as their bodies fall to the ground....OH MY GOD THEY'RE SO GOD. DAMN. COOL!

You see that Oobleck and Port have regrouped and are sending massive fire down at incoming Grimm as Glynda Goodwitch comes storming up, looking absolutely livid as two Creeps run up behind her and jump at her. Which she flings away using her Riding Crop and her semblance. She walks up to the hole that the train made and using her Semblance she immediately closes the breach. The battle is over.

Later

After the last Grimm were wiped out you see that Emerald and Mercury have found Roman who...you don't know how he got there...you thought he was in the train...then again you were unconscious for a bit so you don't know. You regrouped with the rest of Team RWBY as you all are relieved that you were able to stop an entire underground crime network, well for now. You watch Roman being held by Mercury and Emerald as they push him towards an airship that will send him to his rightful jail cell...You smile smugly as you watch him go in.

Roman:"Oh, I can't believe that you caught me, you've really taught me the error of my ways." they push him towards an Atlesian Knight who grabs his arm. "He-hey, watch the hat!" Roman sees you and smiles "Heh, Somnus and I will be seeing you again real soon (F)..." You continue to glare at him, not even giving him the pleasure of a response. Though you do wonder what happened to your horrible excuse for a father... You'll need to check back in with your mom...Emerald and Mercury come towards you all smiling as you all smile back. Team JNPR also smiles with you all along with Team CFVY and Professors Port and Oobleck with Glenda at a...reasonable distance also enjoying this somewhat. You see Team ICRS starring at you, whispering to each other as they turn and walk away...You breathe out relieved...though tomorrow you know you're gonna be in pain.

You:"Hey, Sophie?"

Sophie:"Yeah?"

You:"What are you gonna do? Now that you're in Vale with us?"

Jack:"Live with us!"

You:"Don't think she can live in the dorms Jack..."

Jack:"Damn!"

Sophie:"I guess I can stay with Stella er...mom for a while considering I don't have anywhere to be if it's alright with her. I'll be sure to visit you guys often."

You:"Sounds like a plan!" You all smile at each other.

(Later/Landing Platform)

You all sit by the edge of Beacon's landing platform...you're not entirely sure why but the view's pretty good. Sophie bought Sea-salt ice cream for you all before talking into the...air yet again after doing so in a smug like manner. Anywho you're leaning against Yang as you have Sophie laying her head on your leg. Jack is resting his head against Ruby's shoulder...This is great...you're all eating from your ice cream while looking into the distance happily.

Yang: "Well, we did it."

Blake: "We did it."

Weiss: "If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm gonna be seriously disappointed."

Yang: Weiss, a two-headed snake literally crushed a bakery. I wouldn't count on it.

You:"Don't forget about the clothing store...Coco made that clear."

Yang:"Pssh like that'll help."

Ruby:"Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we still don't even know why they did this, or who that mystery girl was." Plus the Amalgamation...

Weiss:"Well, not every story has a neat and tidy ending."

Blake:"We might not have all the answers, but we do have a lot of dangerous people behind bars. And I think that's something we could be proud of."

Ruby: Yeah! And if anyone tries something like this again, we'll be there to stop them." Yang slowly lays down on your lap as she places her hands behind her head

Yang:"Yay, teamwork, camaraderie, good guys, go team, alright, good job... So, what now?"

Weiss:"I suggest training for the tournament, but I guess we have that covered at this point."

Blake:"So then..."

Ruby:"Uhh... Time for bed?"

Yang: "Please."

You:"That sounds like Heaven!"

Sophie:"I haven't slept in days!!!"

Blake:"Absolutely."

Weiss:"Yes."

Jack:"YYYYAAAAAAASSSSSSS!" He yells

Yang:"I'm going to sleep forever."She says while cuddling up next to you. You sigh happily......it seems like things are finally looking up in life....

(Later that night)

You look around in a completely black room...you hear scattered voices and screams around you as you look in front of you as flashes of Vale and Beacon destroyed...people screaming...Grimm all around you. In the center you see the Amalgamation

Amalgamation:"Your own personal Hell is arriving soon, Equinox." You see beneath him is Sophie, Jack, and your mom all on the ground. Not breathing...You wake up frantically as you look around as Yang wakes up suddenly

Yang:"(F)?" You're breathing heavily, and sweating heavily as well. You hug her as you tremble as she holds you tightly "I-it's alright (F)...it was just a dream..." You begin calming down as you bury your head in her shoulder "You're safe here in my arms..." You close your eyes as you both settle back to sleep as one final image of Yang being unconscious plagues your mind, Blake crying on the ground hurt while holding her hand just saying 'I'm sorry...' but before you could fully see what has happened to her...the image escapes from your mind...
