Chapter 15

"We could've ruled over Remnant, Nemesis. Why did you have to turn your back towards Salem!?" said Cinder as she started to throw fireballs towards.


While she was throwing those fireballs, Nemesis was dodging the attacks with ease. At one point, Cider created a very large fireball and threw it at him. Nemesis didn't had time to dodge so he embraced himself for the impact. The impact cause a lot of smoke to cover the area.

Cinder started to smile, thinking that she won the fight. But she soon turned pale as she noticed two glowing red eyes through smoke.


"You wish to know 'why' I killed the crazy which lady, right, fake maiden?" Nemesis asked in a serious tone.


Cinder started to shake a bit as she could feel the killing intend of the masked lunatic.


"Well, that's because you sometimes you have to go through darkness to get to the light. And besides, with her dead, Nemesis got his full power back. Essentially, They broke the wrong parts of Nemesis. They broke my wings and forgot Nemesis had claws," said Nemesis.


Suddenly, nemesis started to float into the air, and Cinder could feel the power that's radiating from him.


"Fake maiden, you're going to pay for your actions," said Nemesis in a sinister tone.


Before Cinder could react, Nemesis casted an ice bolt towards her. The ice bolt is big ball of spiked ice and some of the ice shards flew out of it. Some of the ice shards managed to hit Cinder, but before the core of the ice bolt hit her, she managed to create a fire barrier in front of her. While Cinder was busy defending herself, she didn't noticed that Nemesis teleported behind Cinder and prepared his next attack.


"If you weren't such a megalomaniac, this wouldn't have happened, fake maiden," said Nemesis as he lift his arm up to Cinder.


Cinder quickly turned around, only to met with a couple of fire balls and send her back, damaging her aura greatly. Cinder looks up in anger as she creates two glass swords and charged towards him. Once she was close to Nemesis, he disappeared. Cider looked around and saw that she was surrounded by three copies of Nemesis. She looks on the ground and saw a glyph forming under her. She tried to react quickly and stab the glyph, but before her swords reached the ground, a dark blue wyvern came out of it, tackling her, damaging her aura even more.

Cinder did a sort of flamethrower attack to get rid of the wyvern, as well as the Nemesis clones. As all the flames died done, Cinder was breathing heavily from her beatings and using so much power. She looks around cautiously to see find Nemesis. Suddenly she was struck by lightning, causing her to loose an arm and completely shattering her aura.

Cinder was now on the floor, completely in pain from all of Nemesis attacks. She wasn't able to move, but she could hear the footsteps coming towards her.


"Things didn't have to like this, fake maiden," said Nemesis in a serious tone.2

"Fuck... Off..." Cinder managed to respond.

"There's no need for such harse words. Now, I do need something from you, and Nemesis does not know how it's going to feel, but Nemesis doesn't care," he said in almost a carefree tone.

"Nice lady, some assistance is required here!" said Nemesis.

"Coming right up," said Summer, walking towards him, away from the beaten Taiyang.

"Alright, Nemesis want to ask a favour if that's possible," he asked.

"It's the least I can do after you gave my sight somewhat back," said Summer.

"Alright. Basically, Nemesis wants you to be the Fall Maiden temporarily, until we're back at Beacon," he explained.


Upon hearing this, Cinder started to panic but due to her wounds, she can't do much anymore.


"Y-you can't d-d-do t-that! I-It's impossible" Cinder managed to say.


Ignoring Cinder's desperate cries, Nemesis started to explain what Summer needed to do.


"All that you need to do is to put your hand between Nemesis's hand and fake maiden's body. The power should flow into you," he explained.

"Alright, let's do this," said Summer in a serious tone.


Cinder tried to crawl away, but she got frozen in place thanks to Nemesis. And to ensure that she can't do anything else, Summer decided to pull out her obsidian knife and stabbed Cinder in her hand.

While Cinder was on the ground in pain, Nemesis put his above her and Summer put her hand in between the two of them. Cinder started to scream even harder as she feels her powers being ripped away from her and started to transfer towards Summer. Although Cinder was pain, wasn't feeling well either since the process started and started to glow. Moments later, the ritual was over and Summer fell to her knees.


"Cinder!" Emerald screamed in the distance.


She weakly stands up and tries to help Cinder.


"Qrow, Raven," Summer called for their attention.


The twins started to run towards Summer, and once near her, they help her stand up.


"I... I need you two to get everyone out of here. Things... are going to be ugly," said Summer.


Qrow quickly caught on what she meant, while Raven looked shocked by what she just said.


"What are you talking about!?" Raven asked in an irritated tone.

"Trust me, Raven. You do not want to see this side of Summer. Besides, we need to get the girls to safety," Qrow explained in a serious tone.


Before Raven could question why, they heard the sounds of breaking bones. They look at Summer and saw that her spine has grown longer than her body and it was starting to grow out of the body itself, while her skin was starting to turn black with red and white veins.


"Raven, go to the kids and open a portal, now!" said Qrow.


This time, she listened to her brother and ran towards the rest of the group, except for Nemesis. But before Qrow followed his sister, he wanted to make sure that his wife is going to be okay.


"Summer, are you going to be alright?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"Y-y-yeah. But I... don't t-think th-the rest is g-going to sur...vive," said Summer as her body started to twisted, crack and slowly split apart, all the while grunting in pain.

"Qrow..., go t-take care of our da-daughters, alright? I'll... see you back at B-Beacon," she said.

"Sure dear. Nemesis, you better bring her back after this," said Qrow in a serious tone.

"Of course, bird man. No need to worry," said Nemesis.

"Alright, see back at Beacon," said Qrow, running towards the rest of the group.


Tenzu backed up a bit as he saw Qrow quickly approaching. He kneels down and lifts Ruby up, and Tenzu did the same with Yang.


"Alright Raven, open the portal," Qrow commanded.


She nodded and created a portal with her katana that lead to Beacon and once everyone was through, she closed the portal.


"Wait! Were forgetting about Summer and the hooded guy!" said Weiss.

"Those two are going to be fine. Believe me, you don't want to be in the same room with them for what they are about to do. Now hurry! We need to go to the medical wing!" said Qrow, running towards the entrance of the academy.


A/N: hi everyone, I want to say I'm sorry that these last couple of chapters took so long to come out. I've been busy lately, but good thing is (or bad thing, depending how you look at it) that maybe the next chapter is the last. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story!
