She did it.
She finally did it.
She finally defeats Cinder Fall, the one who caused the destruction of both Vale and Mistral.
She let herself leaned on the Crescent Rose handle, her eyes tired she think she could even fell asleep right now.
"So, you have defeated Cinder huh." A mysterious voice said. "Congratulation." A woman stands right in front of her.
Ruby quickly get herself on guard.
"Who are you?" Ruby asked this Grimm looking woman.
"Salem." The woman paused. "The one who orchestrated all of this." Her lips twitched upward, making a cruel smile. "Beautiful isn't it?" She spread her arms; behind her were the ruin of what once was Mistral.
"It's all according to my pla-Ugh!" Before she could complete her sentence, a long blade pierced the woman heart.
"Zwei!" Ruby shouted as Zwei pull the blade with his mouth and blood burst out of Salem chest.
"Wha-?" Salem could barely spoke a word as life slowly left her body.
"Bark! (TL: Pathetic.)" The dog look at Salem with Pity. "Woof! "You thought that everything goes the way you want did you? Too bad, it was all me! Zwei the second!)
"Zwei..." Ruby stared out at the horrifying revelation.
"Bar-(Tl: I am sorry Ruby, but it was all for my dre-)" Before Zwei could completed his bark a blade pierces his heart.
"Mr. Shopkeep!" Ruby screamed, this thing has become a little bit too bizzare for her.
"I have a name you know!" The shopkeep shouted before shaking his head. "Nevermind, once I finish my plan, every one of you will remember that my name is-ugh!" Before shopkeep could finish uttering his a spear made out of wood pierced his heart.
"Foolish shopkeeper, you were but part of my plan!"
"You are..." A realization appears on Ruby face. "Who are you?" Ruby titled her head.
"You have met me, in the Vytal festival." The thing simply answered.
"Oh, ooohhhhh, you are the tree that witstand Coco gun!" Ruby realized.
"Yes, all of this all for my plan of complete global s-" "Ruby!" Before the tree could finish, a voice called out to them from afar.
"Weiss, Jaune!" Ruby was relieved at the familiar faces.
"Ruby, what is that?" Weiss looked at the strange tree.
"That thing is the mastermind of all these, we must defeat them!" Ruby told her friend.
"Wait, I haven't finished my monologue yet!"
*Meanwhile in Beacon*
"Hahahahaha! I the crater was the last one standing!" The crater created from the explosion caused by Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose boasted.
"They won't suspect a crater like me would be the true mastermind behind all of these, now I can complete my plan of-"Before the crater could finish its monologue, a truckload of cement was poured into it.
On the driver seat of the cement truck, the sound of gloating can be heard.
"Haha, you thought you were the mastermind, but it was I Yang Xiao Long right arms!"
