5. The Grimm Queen
3RD PERSON POV
GOL: Salem has been acting up again right?
The two gods watched in their dragon forms, seeing Salem ordering the grimm around outside her fortress from their crystal ball.
GOD: Indeed. Did she really expect for us to grant her request to die when she collects the 4 relics?
GOL: Insolent.....*snort* She deserved everything she got.
They failed to notice a shadow behind them, a malicious aura filling the entire void except around the 2.
GOD: Brother....I'm getting bored of this world.
GOL:....I do not wish to destroy it, but I shall do what I c-
Y/N: REND
*SLICE*
Their bodies were sliced apart before they exploded into a shower of light. Dematerializing his scythe, Y/N holds his hand out, absorbing their essence into his body. Once he was done, Y/N sighs, feeling the energy surging through him before storing it somewhere within the universe.....and turns to the crystal ball.
Y/N: Ah.....Salem. *smile* Sorry for keeping you waiting. You're finally free now.
Later
Cinder: Milady is everything alright?
Salem: Everything's alright Cinder. I'm assuming the plans are going well for the grimm.
Cinder: Our fake IDs have been registered in Beacon. For now we are transfer Haven students.
Salem: Excellent Cinder. I know-
Hazel: Salem.
Salem turns, annoyed at the interruption as Hazel stood in the doorway.
Salem: Hazel....is there a good explanation for this?
Hazel: Someone wants to meet you....and he claims to know you.
Salem: Who could possibly want to meet me out he-
Y/N: *grin* Yo!
Salem's voice falters, seeing Y/N standing there in the doorway smiling while having 2 white wings out.
Y:N: You miss me?
Mercury:.....Who the fuck a-
Salem: Y/N!!!!
*THUD*
She shoots forward like a heat seeking missile tackling Y/N onto the floor. He chuckles, feeling her arms gripping him as he rubs the back of her head.
Y/N: *chuckle* Missed you too Salem.
He helps her up from the ground but finds her on the verge of tears though she had a rather cute expression on her face.
Salem: *teary* W-Why didn't you come back sooner?
Y/N: Sorry Salem....I tried to tell them but the gods wouldn't listen. I should've took action sooner....
Salem: I-It's alright.....
Y/N: Hah....at least you're alright after all these years...
He hugs her gently, feeling her breath breezing on his neck as she nuzzles against his body.
Salem: So...the gods are dead now.
Y/N: I made sure of it.
Salem:....*cuddle* Thank y-
Mercury: Uuuhhhhhh....am I missing something?
They both turn to find everyone staring at them shocked, confused, bamboozled, all of the above.
Mercury: I know you're Ozpin's ex.....but as this like your secret lover or something?
Y/N: *sigh* No we aren't.
Salem: *smile* 'At least not no-
Tyrian: *horrified* M-MY GODDESS! GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER YOU FILT-
*BAM*
Before he could strike at him within his arm blades, Y/N flicks his forehead and sends him crashing into the wall across the room with a shockwave, knocking him unconscious and planting his body into the rock and concrete.
Salem: Y/N I'm really sorry about his behavior. I-
Y/N: Don't be. He didn't know about me really.
Hazel:...Y/N...how do you know Salem?
Y/N: Let me see............
Later
Y/N: That's mostly all of it. Though I must say...100 years to wait for the gods to turn a blind eye was troublesome.
They all sat on the meeting table with Tyrian still unconscious but propped against the wall.
Cinder: So....you're eons old...and you're a God. But you used to be human?
Y/N: Yup.
Emerald: How strong are you compared to Salem?
Salem: *narrow* Emerald......*smile* just kidding. Y/N here is undeniably stronger than me. Even if I'm immortal he has many ways to permanently kill me.
Arthur: H-He does?!
Salem: Yes...but he'll never kill me.
Y/N: I won't. But....I'm curious about something.....Salem.
Salem: What is it Y/N?
Y/N: What's this...about White Fang invasion of Vale? What's this about grimm invasion of the 4 kingdoms?
He lists a bunch of plans, seeing the people in the room sweating as he practically revealed their plans.
Y/N: I'm curious.....what compelled you to do such a thing? Was it anger? Was it revenge? Was it..........Ozpin?
Hazel:.............Y-Yes.....
Y/N:....You know you can't hate someone for something not their fault...well sort of. And you. What compelled you to join Salem.
He snaps his head toward Emerald and Mercury, staring at them intently as they struggled to speak.
Mercury: W-Well you see I met Emerald and Cind-
Y/N: Cinder why did you join Salem?
Cinder: Um......
Y/N: So it was the power so that you won't face what you experienced in the past right?
Cinder: Wait what?
Y/N: I can read minds. A billion years into and I've already learned about every single piece of knowledge in a million universes.
Mercury: Wai- so you can....read minds?
Y/N: Yes.
Emerald: Can you make illusions.
Y/N: *materializes illusion of Ozpin* Yes I can.
Arthur: Can you generate electricity?
Y/N: *summons Mjohnir* Yes I can.
Hazel: Water?
Y/N: *waterbends* Yes I can.
Mercury: Give me a big weapo-
*THUD*
Y/N summons a massive 15 foot long sword before handing it to Mercury.
Mercury: *sweating* O-On second thought nevermind.
He dematerializes it and everyone keeps listing power after power, rambling on as Y/N demonstrates everything.
Y/N: Anything else?
Everyone:.........No.
Arthur: Salem....you're certain he's telling the truth?
Salem: *smile* I believe he is.
*WOOSH*
Y/N: And for proof I killed the gods.....
Everyone backs away, staring in horror at the visage of the two gods standing behind Y/N. His hands held two orbs of the color yellow and purple, brimming with an unstable energy before everything fades away and he puts his hands into his pocket.
Y/N: You felt that right?
Cinder: Y-Yeah...I-I feel it....
Y/N: Good. Cinder....may I talk with you?
Cinder: Now?
Salem: Go ahead Y/N.
Y/N: This will only take 15 minutes of your time. So come Cinder.
Nodding her head, she nervously gets up and with Y/N walks out the door, leaving the whole room quiet.
Arthur: So......about Y/N....
Salem: Let me tell you a fairytale......
Later
Salem: And that's it.......that's how I met Y/N.
The whole entire room was lost for words, not expecting what she said.
Mercury:.....Damn...that's one hell of a story.
Arthur:....Now everything makes sense...
Hazel: Salem....what about the relics? What about Ozp-
*THUD*
The door opens and Y/N and Cinder step inside the room again.
Emerald: C-Cinder. Did the conversation go well?
Cinder: *deep breath* It did go well Emerald. Thank you for asking.
She takes a seat, a bit relieved and a weight thrown off her chest as she looks at Y/N who also takes a seat next to Salem.
Y/N: Since I've......somewhat killed the gods, I would like to ask if I could have a day of your time...everyone.
Everyone: Of course.
Y/N: First order of business, let's retrieve all the relics and destroy them. There's no use for them anymore.
Mercury/Hazel: *spit* PPPFFFFTTT!!
Arthur chokes on his own saliva, hacking off as Cinder had a confused look on her face.
Cinder: No...use?
Y/N: Well the world can live without them right? Besides, the gods actually meant to kill humanity off with them.....so it's better to get rid of them.
Everyone: Oh.......
Y/N: I really only need Cinder and Salem for this. Is it ok if you all stay here?
Hazel: The vaults holding the relics can only be entered by a maiden.
Y/N: That's why I'm having Cinder coming.
Arthur: Are you saying...you can reason with Ironwood?
Y/N: I most certainly can. Though he might freak out a little....
Arthur: *chuckle* Freak out is an understatement.....but if milady trusts you this much then I shall trust you as well.
Hazel: Me too.
Emerald:......Me too.
Mercury: Eh why not? You seem like a cool guy.
Y/N: What about you Cinder?
Cinder:......I....*sigh* I will.
Y/N: Great........*grin* CALL
*WOOSH*
Later
Y/N: Ironwood.....I have a perfectly good explanation for this.
Ironwood: *wary* Like how Salem is behind you?
Y/N stood there at the entrance of the vault to find Ironwood alone. Taken aback by the sight of Salem and Cinder behind Y/N he points his gun at the 3 as Y/N stood in front of him.
Y/N: I just want access to the vault. The 4 relics are useless as of now, and I'd rather get rid of them now......but Atlas runs on the relic itself right?
Ironwood: I ADVISE YOU TO STAND BACK! AND WHO ARE YOU EVEN?
Y/N: Ironwood I'm not here to fi-
*BANG*
He catches a dust bullet shot from his gun, surprising him as he drops it to the floor.
Y/N: I can assure you I'm not here to do no harm. So is Salem or the other one.
Ironwood:......*wary* How am I so sure you won't do anything?!
Y/N: If they try anything........let's say I know a way to bypass her immortality......
Ignoring the gun pointed at him, he walks forward with Salem and Cinder to the door of the vault.
Y/N: Cinder..
Cinder: Can't you do it?
Y/N: If you want me to brute force through and explode the entire room outside then yeah.
Cinder nods her head before placing her hand onto the doorway of the vault.
Cinder:....And now.
*CREAK*
The door slowly slides open, revealing a crystal-like cavern that stretched hundreds of meters across. Holding his hand out, Y/N's arm glows bright blue as he searches for the relic.
RETRIEVE
*CLANK*
A staff suddenly collides with his hand and all of a sudden a blue visage shoots out from the staff. Groaning, the visage or spirit turns around only to freeze at the sight of Salem standing there.
Salem: Don't worry Ambrosius....I'm not here for you.
Y/N: But I am.
Ambrosius: M-My lord!
Y/N:...*sigh* Call me Y/N. I already have enough people calling me my lord.
Ambrosius: I apologize.....but I must insist. Why is it that you are here.....why now? And with Salem out of everyone?
Y/N: The gods are dead. There is no use for the 4 relics anymore.
He holds his hand out and a pile of broken stone, glass, metal land onto the floor. The remnants of the relics from Haven and Shade remained on the floor, broken into pieces.
Y/N: Jinn is doing quite well in the realm above. You sure you want to ascend to meet him?.....It's time you leave this planet once and for all.
Ambrosius:.......*nod* Just teleport me up the-
*WOOSH*
He disappears in a flash, leaving behind bright yellow particles that dissolve in the air. Turning he holds the staff out the handle beginning to glow purple as he tightens his grip.
Y/N:.....SHATTER
*SHATTER*
He swings the staff onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.
Y/N: βαρύτητα
*BOOM*
The rumbling of the room stops at Y/N's command. Satisfied, he turns to Salem and Cinder who watched him throughout the whole ordeal.
Y/N: 3 down....1 more to go.
Ironwood: *shock* Y-You destroyed t-the relics.....
Y/N: Your Atlas runs on my magic now. It will stay afloat as long as I want to....though I'll just keep it like this alright?
Ironwood: Wait.....he called you....my lord.
Y/N: Ambrosius? Yeah.....that's what he told me. I'm his new god after all, not like it matters that much. You're not angry at me for destroying the relic right?
Ironwood: Wha- OF COURSE I AM!
Y/N: I can assure you there's no use to them anymore. Everything will run smoothly even without them. So......
He places a hand on Salem and Cinder's shoulder and a magic circle appears under them.
Y/N: I bid you farewell.
*WOOSH*
Just as the alarm rung, they both disappear in a flash of purple, leaving Ironwood to stand there while dozens of huntsman and his Ace Ops rushed to the scene.
Harriet: Ironwood what's wrong?! Why is the vault open?
He turns, and slowly walks past her, unblinking. Pushing his way through the crowd, he heads to the window and looks outside, seeing Atlas floating as usual.
Ironwood:....Huh. So he is telling the truth....
Clover: Ironwood...is there something wrong?
Ironwood:......I don't know.
Later
Amber: *groan* What happened?
She gets up from the floor, not sure what happened. The last thing she could remember was Cinder's face staring at her as she was stealing her powers.
Amber: Wait....I'm back at Beacon? But I-
Y/N: Hey.
She turns to find Y/N standing there, looking at her.......while Salem and Cinder were behind her.
Y/N: Are you alright?
Amber: CINDER Y-
*GRAB*
He holds her in a chokehold, causing her to struggle around, thrashing as she tries to use her maiden powers.
Y/N: Calm your mind Amber. They're not here to do anything to you.
Amber: LIKE HELL!
Y/N: Just rest. You're too exhausted to even use your powers.
She struggles for a few more minutes before her body grows limp. Y/N settles her onto the bed as she looks up tiredly, not having the energy to get up at all.
Amber:......If you're here to steal my powers then do it.
Cinder: But we're not.
Amber:.......Really?
Cinder walks over to the infirmary bed, sitting on the chair next to her.
Cinder: I.....I don't know what to say....I don't believe I can make up for what I put you through....but sorry for trying to steal the Fall Maiden's power.
Amber:......Really? *angry* You think words like these can-
SLEEP
Her eyes roll to the back of her head before she immediately falls asleep.
Y/N: And she's asleep.
Salem: Y/N do you have the last relic?
He lifts the crown up for her to see.
Y/N: I have it here. And now......
*SHATTER*
The crown shatters under his grip. Spilling the fragments onto the floor, he suddenly hears a gasp from the door of the infirmary and turns...to find a familiar face.
Y/N: *smile* Hello Ozpin. Amber has her maiden powers back if you're wondering.
Ozpin:........Salem.
Salem: Ozma....
Ozpin: *wary* What is your business here?
Salem: To return the fall maiden and destroy the relics.
Y/N: Which....*points* I have. And the relic of destruction, creation, and knowledge. Though I freed Jinn and Ambrosius and ascended them to the realm above.
Cinder: Yes.
Y/N: Anyways we're done for now.......or do you two want to talk? We're a few hours early.....
Salem: We can talk later. No need for now....4 days at sunset in your tower....Ozma. Is that ok with you?
Ozpin:......Of course Salem......and Y/N.
Y/N: So you got the letter I sent you. I can assure you no one will get hurt or will there be any grimm attacks.
Ozpin: Of course. The safety of my students and citizens of Vale matter the most. Though......can I trust you?
Y/N holds his hand out, allowing for Ozpin to get a firm grip on it as they shook.
Y/N: You may Ozma. As long as I'm here nothing bad will happen. I can guarantee that.
Ozpin: Thank you.....*looks at clock* Oh....looks like I need to take my leave now. I shall see you later on the proposed date and time. For now, I bid you farewell.
He quietly gets up before leaving the infirmary, leaving the 3 in silence.
Y/N: He wasn't that welcoming to you....is that right?
Salem: I....*sigh* Yeah.
Y/N: Let's head back now Salem. There's a lot of free time on our hands.
She nods her head as Y/N summons another magic circle underneath and in a flash the 3 disappeared from Beacon, never to be seen again.
Until 4 days later of course.
Later
Salem: Y/N......you'll be back right?
They both stood in the balcony of the castle alone, with Y/N listening to Salem intently.
Y/N: *grin* I can be in multiple places at once. I have business to take care of here. Of course I'll visit you everyday!.....But...
He holds his hand out that was glowing green. Immediately a warm sensation can be felt on Salem's cold arms, a strange feeling so foreign to her as she looks at him while raising them up.
Salem: What is this?
Y/N: You can visit me in Teyvat anyway you want. Just say.....Archon Eternal and a portal will be made for you to my approximate location. But I have somewhere to be at the moment.....*sigh* So bye....
He turns around, making a portal yet as he was about to step through, Salem pulls him back-
*CRACK*
And crushes him into a hug. Sighing at how much effort she was putting, he hugs her too, rubbing the back of her head and back and hearing a quiet sigh escaping from her lips as she basks in his warmth.
Salem:....Thank you Y/N.
Y/N:.....*smile* Your welcome.....
*SMOOCH*
He gives her a gentle kiss against her forehead before pulling back to find her cheeks all red.
Y/N: Take care Salem. Stay safe.....*smile* and good luck.
He crosses through the portal. The portal closes just as his back foot passes and Salem turns, walking down the balcony and holding a hand to her face.
Salem: 'H-He kissed my forehead......Y-Y/N....the c-creato- AHEM! There's still business to take care of Salem! Y/N's the least of your concerns now!'
She shakes her head, clearing her thoughts before making her way into the castle, yet still remembering the past memories of Y/N years ago.
Salem: *smile* 'Things will be very interesting from now on.....'
Meanwhile Mercury, Emerald, Hazel, and Arthur were spying on Cinder, seeing her walk back and forth.
Cinder: *ponder* What is my goal.......what should I do?
Emerald: *whisper* Cut ties with the white fang.
Mercury: *whisper* We're the only reasons they're even able to accomplish somet-
Cinder: COME ON OUT THERE! WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY!
They all jump out of the bushes as an arrow was fired at them.
Arthur: I-I guess I'll be taking my leave no-
Cinder: YOU THINK YOU CAN SPY ON ME?!
Arthur: FUCK!
And now Arthur was left at the mercy of Cinder who whooped all their asses despite not having the maiden powers.
Y/N: *narrow* Why is there a houkai signature in Snezhnaya?
Next Chapter:
Snezhnaya
Honkai Invasion (1/2)
Annihilation (2/2)
The New Daughter
I already got a list of people to be in the harem and a list for worlds to visit. I am planning to get a certain someone from Honkai Impact as Y/N's adopted daughter. Any daughter or son recommendation?
I'm a little off writing this chapter but I promise the next ones will be better.
