1. Who teaches Hero

Rwby graduation.

Hey guys and this is my next kinda off story, 3 years after the death of Salem, Ruby and her team goes to graduate from beacon, but something is amiss, rewrite and a bit more cannon, now.

Also side note, I wrote a scene of Ozpin fighting with a cane and wrote it as if I were fencing so I will give you the key so you remember it, 1,2 ( both legs Prime is the action and guard usually used to draw a sword as such the left hip, ( usually fencing was right handed) 2 is the other leg, above that is 3/4, 3 is basic enguard and as such stand right above 2, 4 is across the body protecting the heart, and finally there's 5 the head which is an overhead parry, amd that's all you need to know, amd seeing how useful these will be I will most likely being using these to convey fight scenes, I'll put in parentheses the exact hit and where but just so you get confused and I don't write them down, now onto the story,

—-

Ruby stood on the Main Street of Beacon Academy, infront of the statue, or what was the proud statue, the statue has long withered and collapsed. However noticeable features stiles stayed the Beowlf under the rock and the Axe manely although the women's head was by the foot of the statue in the water, and no one bothered to move it.

Standing in front of the statue was 7 people, the front women at the age of 25. wore a red Torn cloak, and had an Arm in a temporary cast. On her back was two , This was The now Famous Ruby rose, Leader of the Human Fighting force against the Grimm and the White Fang, at least to th public's Eyes she had a tone of more darker allies in the underworld, standing next to her was The 27 year old, Weiss Schnee, The now CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, and besides her was Blake Belladonna the exleader of the reforged (Pure) White fang, which was retired due to Equal rights had been achieved. And the last one standing next to Blake is the famous Yang Xiao Long, with her Metal Arm, as well as standing on the other side of Ruby Rose was The remains of Team JNPR. With Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren. These were the front runners of the war with Salem the faces of peace and although they carried them selves like Huntmen and huntresses they wernt actually...but that changed today.

[ Beacon CCTV tower/ Ozpin's office.]

Glynda Goodwitch stood next to Oscar Pine: the new incarnation of Ozpin, who as well grew up. "Looks like Team RWBY is here." Oscar said, ' did you expect them not to?' The voice Inside of his head said. Oscar shook his head. " still talking?" Glynda asked as he set down the coffee " I'm not sure that I will ever fully be able to reach the sinergy as I did with my previous body...but this is close enough." He said as he reached out for his coffee. " any news on the outer walls or other kingdom matter?" Ozpin asked. "Nothing...But the with the Grimm gone we can actually focus of expanding Humanity amd solidifying our holds here." Glynda said "no the Grimm aren't gone yet." Oscar said. Glynda quirked her eyebrows "how do you know?" She asked "I'm still here." Oscar said Glynda was about to question when Ozpin cut her off. "Prepare for the Team's arrival I think a heros welcome should be honored for there service." He said " very well headmaster." Glynda said as she stepped out,

' I don't know what your desiples are planning, but we will stop you...we did so once...we can do it again.' Oscar said as he took a sip of his coffee.

[ Team RWBY+ JNR]

"Ruby are you sure you want to do this?" Jaune asked, " the world already sees us as hero's I mean we will follow you, you lead us to victory, and for that we vow our life to you." Nora said. Ruby huffed. "Unfortunately I cannot live in a world such as this...years of the battle field has isolated me... I fear I will only be a threat if i was to 'settle down.'" Ruby huffed sadly she looked back. "However you don't need to join me, you all have other things you could do." Ruby said "well the SDC hasn't had many sales this year but I'm able to micro manage the funds and company from away." Weiss said, "there's no need for the White fang now as equal rights have been established." Blake countered, Ruby turned to her sister. "You always know I will follow you. Even now." Yang said. Ruby turned to Jaune apbut shook her head knowing what team RNJR would say, "alright I guess we should get going." Ruby said as all 7 walked to the tower.

In the way people stopped, and gasped 'it's them!?' Some said, "oh my god!" " but why are they here?" Others asked. As They reached the entrance and was about to open the door Professor Goodwitch stepped out, " oh apologies i was here to get you, please Ozpin is waiting for you." Goodwitch Said as she lead them up.

In the office Everyone stepped out and walked forward to see Oscar/ Ozpin in his chair he sipped his coffee. "Headmaster." Everyone bowed to him he smiled but stopped as Ruby reminded in the elevator. Ruby stepped out causiously scanning the room. Everyone even Ozpin tensed. ' is she still doing this?' Oscar asked ' looks like, be ready...' Ozpin Said.

The room was deadly silent when the sounds were heard

Squawk!-Bang!

Ruby snapped up to the over hand holding her Uncles Weapon in shotgun form to the rafters as the black bird flew around the room and landed on Ozpin desk, the bird was covered in black smoke and revealed Qrow on the side arms crossed. " jeeze kid attacking me with my own weapon, that's a new level of cruel." Qrow muttered. Ruby smerked as she tossed the weapon to her uncle who caught it. "Okay now that you two have stopped one upping eachother for now we can get to business...team RWBY and JNR why are you here?" Ozpin asked. "We're here to complete our lessons." Ruby said. Coldly, "But your already full huntsmen?" Qrow Said as Ruby pulled out her bronze Card. Labeled Huntress on it, and flipped it over. Instead of having a barcode on it, it read the words. ' giving to Huntress Ruby Rose as a Emergency License during war time, granting The owner the level of Huntress."she read about loud, "there's no war going on here so the cards just a pile of plastic able to be melted down into Lien." Ruby said as he threw the card at Ozpin, it would've hit him and possibly lodged into one of his eyes however Glynda used her semblance to stop the projectial. " Ms rose I understand the reason your here amd such outlast is understandable however, I cannot allow you to attack the headmaster like this, failure to comply will result in expulsion." Glynda said. "Wait expulsion?" Ruby asked. " well seeing as the school happed to be attacked, and destroyed before I could do so otherwise technically you still qualify as students here." Ozpin said,

"So in the long run. Yes you can come here, unfortunately we are unable to teach you anything as, you've learned what you needed in the outside world, however we can do something else and officially mark you down as Graduates." Ozpin said "and that is?" Jaune asked. "Become teachers here at beacon." Qrow said. "Wha-really?!" Blake asked. " yes. Help the next generation Learn what you have learned and by the end of this year. You will be official graduates of Beacon."Ozpin said "and that is a promise." Ruby looked to everyone who smiled "we accept." Ruby saod. "Good." Now we have a few things to do before we go, first of all." Ozpin took the card from. In front of his eye and slid it into the desk. And out popped a shiny white License. "Your teachers card. This will grant you all locations in the building," Ozpin said as Glynda shut the door. As they reached out. Making them stop. "What's going on?" Ruby asked "the second part of the offer." Qrow said

"Right, as your aware the world has changed, the scenario has as well your, The picture perfect example of this, and I want you guys to lead this, during the day you will be the faces, and at night. The guards, we will go into more detail about this later. But right now you got your stuff to set up." Ozpin Said, as the team left.

" are opposed sure there ready for this Ozpin?" Glynda asked "they have to be." Ozpin said as he took a sip of coffee, "Because Time is running out." He said

[ Dorm hallway]

"so did anyone else find that super weird?" Yang asked walking with the others. "Um I think what your referring to is Stress Yang," Lie Ren Said "No yangs right I felt it too." Jaune Said. "it could be anything." Blake said shrugging it off "or it could be something important," Weiss countered, "Ruby what do you have to say?" Jaune asked. Ruby said nothing just glided down the hall. "Ruby?" Yang asked Ruby stopped and looked up "huh you say something?" She asked "yea we did...Ruby are you okay, you seem to be spacing out on us." Weiss said, "no no fine! Ruby turned around fast and happened to pull her arm "Damn." She sighed "come on." As she walked off the others starred at her. "What was that?" Weiss asked "what ever guys were back at beacon who cares it's like the good old days without the...oh..." Nora lowered her head instantly losing her mood,

"So what do you think our room is going to be like..." Yang stopped as she found there actual dorm room, but instead of a normal dorm with a door, the wall was covered up in a plexiglass frame on it showing the inside like a museums, on it had the words Team RWBY's dorm... hey guys I found the...oh." Ruby said walking the other way. "I see you found it too." Ruby said, "wait this is our dorm?" Jaune asked. " well not exactly, your dorm is your old room, however we will bridge the gap somehow." Ruby said,

Ah Your Team RWBY excuse me let me take off the glass here." The mantinace mannsaid as she used the drill. And took away the wall. " there we go. Not them all yours nothing untouched." He said if you need me I'll be down the hall." He said as he walked off. The team walked inside. "It even smells the same." Yang smiled. Blake took a breath and winced. As she open the door and pulled out a wet paper bag. I think my tuna went bad." She said Eeveryone chuckled.

[ later]

The group sat in the middle ofhe lounge which was down the hall of there dorm. Playing a boardgame Ruby found in the closet. It was in fact Remnant the Game. It was Ruby's turn. Seeing as there were four kingdoms/ five counting Megesnary (which they were seeing as they had the expansion pack) as well as the dragon contenate, butnthat was just for Grimm which the off players played like a CPU. It was Ruby's turn and everyone was tense as Ruby was 3 moves away from conquering the world as the Rose empire would rule forever. "Okay then so Yang your going Down! Ruby said "aw shit." Yang cursed. As she held her head, as Atlas was going to get chrushed in this confrontation. "Seeing as I have no way in or out of the kingdom, I'm usings Battilion one to cleave a landing force into the Grimm Continate, to land my landing party." Ruby saod "rolling!" Jaune said before he slammed his face on the table "a fucking one again!" Jaune cursed. "Seriously Jaune what's up with you The Empresses has her blessings with you!" Nora sighed, " alright fine I can counter this. I'm sending in the Black Rose to the other side of the atlas and hit them from behind." Ruby said Ren rolled a three, but got to reroll "six" ren announced. " he snuck in." Yang sighed, as she pulled out a results card. " Yang sighed " atlas capitulates!" Yang sighed. As she threw down here hands, "Good the Rose empire has its next borders." Ruby said. "I'm rolling to flee!"Weiss said "shit I forgot you were there Weiss sorry." Yang said. "I'll keep you alive if you, sell out Weiss to me." Ruby said, to her sister. " sure why not sisters!" Yang said. "Not so fast decoy!" Weiss said flipping a trap card. "shit Ruby I didn't know!" Yang pleaded "Quite!" Ruby snapped. "Alright Weiss roll, you got a 2/6 chance to move to a place I don't control." Ruby said. As Weiss rolled. "I'm in Mistral." Weiss said "Damn." Ruby cursed as Weiss cheered. "alright Blake your turn." Ruby said

"Well seeing as I'm a loyal person to the Empire, unlike some." Blake narrowed her eyes at Weiss I'm sending 3 ships full of dust to Vale." Blake said. " hey I will have you know I didn't have a choice to attack! I needed weapons to fight off the grim and Ruby was stockpiling I them all!" Weiss said. " if you just agreed to a truse none of this would've happened." Yang said, "well...shut up!" Weiss said. " I love it when the infighting happens." Nora said. "Oh Hey your playing Reminate the game?" A boy asked with. Black Spiky hair, "yea do you want to join us? Unfortunately We're in the middle of a campaign with the Rose Empire dominations, the only ones you can play is the Grimm." Ruby said, "oh that's fun I'm in." He said.

[ later]

Everyone was watching as Ruby amd the boy ( who they found out was named, Domino,) were locked head to head. The mini screen of the final battle of the two fighting was shown on there scrolls "come on Ruby you can do it!" Yang cheered " Use the dust!" Blake said. "It's time of your downfall your empire is in shambles, your armies are on the run, give up now and I can make you the plaything of my Grimm Domain!" Domino said deep in character.

" all this time writing your fantasy, and widdling us down, you forgot one thing in your campaign, something I've taught you time and time again, humanity is Resilient if anything else SECOND WAVE ADVANCE FOR HUMANITY...FOR THE EMPIRE!" Ruby said as she made her final power grab, and amd on the screen a horde of humans overran Dominos characters killin him, "well played Ruby...well played." He said. As he shook Ruby's hand, "thanks not to bad your self. Well we're going to pack the stuff up, we will be seeing you." Ruby said. "Well he was nice." Yang said, as they put the game away,

[ café]

The students were eating and talking as Ozpin stood up "attention I have a short Anoument to make!" He said as everyone paused. "After dinner I want everyone to head to the Autorium for an Important session, after that there will be one week off of classes before we start the new semester!" Ozpin said everyone cheered. "That is all." He said as he sat down. Qrow came up behind him, "This isn't so bad." Qrow Said, "your forget the world is in shambles. Yes Vale is a safe haven but we're the only one." It's one of the reasons I'm sending so many people to assist in expansions of Vale were running out of room." Ozpin Said. "You know the Council will probably want you to release Power to the government back to them in a few weeks" Qrow saod, "tough we aren't solidified yet," Ozpin said "oh man," Qrow huffed,

[ later in the auditorium.]

The students filed in thenroom on the platform, were all the teachers, and a few from other kingdom's including General Winter ( who was promoted after the death of Ironwood) Qrow branwen. And others. Olin stepped forward as everyone stopped and listened to what Ozpin has to say, " hello and thank your for coming. And I apologize for having to drag you all out of bed for this but, it is important. 3 years ago the world has achieved piece...the Grimm are gone. And the Rise of 7 Porminate Figures rose up to become Legend's, however this is not a fairy tail. Yes while the War on Salem was effective, and the rise of Teams RWBY and RNJR. Are most of the reason your hear, I'm here to say it's not all over, as you know we lost many within and out of the kingdom's walls, even as Atlas, Mistral, and even Vaccoule have been reclaimed, many of the area is still under Grimm control the city, and still roam, just freed from Salem's grasp, they now have no mind, however, if we don't do anything that will change, Glynda has already informed me, small packs are enlarging, and it's soon estimated a new lord Grimm May take shape. It may even be in this decade." Ozpin said everyone gasped. "But!" Ozpin cut them off as to not start an uproar.

" in the darkest day mankind has shown it can step back on its feet with a little push. And today I give you one, I'm here to introduce your new teachers of Beacon, teaching you what they learned from 3 years ago. In the Ultimate survival Guide. Teams RWBY amd JNR!"Ozpin Said as the 7 walked out to the roaring crowd. Ruby smiled. " the class will be held where these 7 permit it to be, it may be outside in the woods or it may be in here, as of now this class is mandatory for anyone to graduate. And Glynda's combat class will be held as extra credit," Ozpin Said. Everyone nodded. " that's all I wish to speak of everyone have a good inprounto vacation!" Oscar said as everyone left.

Once everyone was gone. Oscar fell to his knees and panted, ' you did quite well,' Ozpin Said. " so Oscar- I mean Headmaster, what are we to do now?" Professor port asked. "Teachers meeting?" Oobleck asked Ozpin nodded.

[ meeting room]

at the table was the 4 main teachers, Oobleck, Port, Peach, Glynda and Oscar/ Ozpin at its head on the other side was the others plus the new teachers of Team RWBY amd JNR off to the side.

"So Oz, The Full brotherhoods here. What's the plan." Qrow asked. "As of now we need to keep the Council from regaining control, without it Vale will be in just a bad a position as the rest of the world and we cannot support the world as it is." Ozpin Said, "That May be a problem. The councils is a power hungry group, we can't trust them, and seeing as they consider us reclaiming the other kingdom's a success it isn't." Ruby said

"What do we have on these "Proto-Salem's?" Jaune asked in aide quotes "we know absolutely nothing, strength wise there command, Hell we don't even know what they look like. " Ozpin Said "well shit." Ruby cursed. " but how can we fight an enemy we don't know what...are you saying?" Weiss asked "I dont know...Ms. Schnee what I do know is that we have to be careful, who knows what there plan is moving forward." Ozpin said, "should we head back to our respective kingdom's to protect it from attack?" Winter asked, " negative, especially for you me Schnee, Atlas is the least under control as Grimm have overrun everything but the academy, you will remain here until further notice. As we send in people to help clear atlas. However the sheer volume of Grimm is unsettling," Ozpin Said "it's almost like when Salem died she shattered into a thousand precise and each shard became another Grimm." Jaune said. "Almost exactly what happened." Ruby said,

"Ms rose, how well is your training with your...optics going?" Port asked "slow, surprisingly, Salem was very on point when it came to exterminating the Silver Eye warrior's. " not to worry I believe Qrow can spend a few days in the field looking for a suitable mentor, if there are others. Around, as well as I know Ive stockpiled a few books about your ability's you are free to use them at any time," Ozpin Said, Ruby nodded, " Alright I believe that's all you are dismissed. However Ruby. Glynda. Qrow will you stay for a bit?" Oscar asked. Everyone nodded and left.

As the other 3 stayed they looked at Oscar who sighed, " how are you holding up Ruby?" He asked. "I'm alive and kicking I don't know if-." Ruby started but Ozpin cut her off, " ms Rose I was there when Salem revealed her secret I just want to know how much of a predicament you are in?" Ozpin asked. " what secret?" Qrow asked, Ruby sighed " it was revealed during the final battle..." Ruby started

[ flashback: final battle: Unknown region]

'As your aware uncle it was the final raid on Salem it was all or nothing, as such me and Ozpin, went ahead to confront her while everyone else stayed back to deal with her forces.' Ruby said

The image of a blacken ground and shards of massive crystals stuck out from the ground, pure dust. Overlooking the plane was a cliff and standing there in a similar ornate pattern of more of a mantle was Salem. Overlooking the land, " such wonders...all I could ever ask for was here and yet. You all you did was come in and wreck it." Salem said as behind her Ruby and Oscar/Ozpin got ready to fight, " it's over Salem. Your armies are defeated your generals are dead, and we're here to finish the job, and for your crimes on humanity I THE LAST WARROR OF SILVER EYES WILL STAND ABOVE YOU VICTORIOUS KNOWING I HAVE BROUGHT MY ANCESTORS HONOR FOR DEFENDING THERE GREATNESS ENEMY!" Ruby yelled as she stuck out Crescent Rose.

Salem chuckled as she turned around slowly, "still so naive, listen to her Oz, can't you hear it? No matter what you've tried you have failed, this." Salem lifts her hands so Ruby, "this is your best weapon to defeat me, there will be no victory in your strength." Salem shook her head turning away, " you underestimate us Salem," Oscar said, " because perhaps victory is in the simpler things you've long forgotten," Ozpin said, " victory in the smaller more honest soul." Ruby saod as she slammed The end of crescent rose down making her stick up, and smiled in challenge to the Grimm Queen,

Salem hissed at the smug expression Ruby had on Her face, and lunged at her, Reaching out to slash at Ruby with her razor sharp nails, however Ruby spun left and jumped grabbing crescent rose amd brought a vertical strike Down nearly cutting her, however Salem rolled under the attack and went to attack the other, the back side of Oscar pine, 'look out' Ozpin thought as Oscar brought his cane up and slung it over his back ( like Qrow vs Tyrian) blocking the strike from Salem, after parring he spun around and dragged his arm over his head and did a three point his starting from 2, going up to 3 and 5. ( right leg, weapon arm, Head) the attack forced Salem to dip back, seeing the chance of Salem off guard Ruby rushed forward.

Salem snapped a look to see Ruby coming at her 4 ( left hip) trying to bisect her, Salem reached out her arm and grabbed the blade, she smerked thinking she had stopped her unfortunately Ruby used her fist as an anchor and swung around sitting Salem in the face with the other end.

Salem fell to her knees and whipped the red blood from her face staining her pure white lips Making her look even more creepy and deranged, "oh now you've done, it!" Salem said as he jumped up and threw back her robes to reveal the...aspiring...form of Salem complete with a bit of battle armor and no room for imagination to set in, "...you've got me mad!" Salem roared, as she sprinted forward, and swiped at Ruby in 5, shocked Ruby ducked the attack and tried to counter with a front leg with a swing to 2 ( right leg) hook on and shoot taking the leg out from under her, unfortunately she was slow to the Grimm Queen who was ready to swing straight down on 5 about to cleave her in half,

Fortunately Ozpin stepped in and hitting a barrage of over 10 hits arranging from devastation comboes of 1,3,4,2 ( open "left" leg, weapon hand, open hand, right foot), 3,5,4 (weapon hand, head, open hand) and his personal favorite, 3,5 repeat ( weapon hand, head over and over again.) all of this was in the span of a few seconds but those few seconds gave Ruby enough time for her attempt, as Salem backhanded him away. Smashing him into the wall,

Salem looked down to hear Ruby cock her gun and fire, the round fired and swept the first foot under her into the air, as Salem leaned back for balance Ruby's aim was spot as the bullet cleaved a path into her Achilles' tendon making her fall to her knees, she snapped a look up to see Ruby leveling crescent rose by the back of her neck, ready to fire and cleave her head, off, " before I kill you I should thank you. For making me what I am today."Ruby said as he squeezed the trigger,

Suddenly everything happened at once, One Salem leaned forward making the blade miss its mark and travel straight, throwing Ruby off balance, second, Salem for some ever reason sumorned a large spike and impaled Ruby in the chest imobelizing her while doing so. "RUBY NOO!" Oscar cried, as he charged forward, amd swung his cane wildly, aiming for head and what ever he could reach, unfortunately being to enraged he was easily disarmed. As Salem regained her composer.

" oh Ozpin. Why won't you ever give up. We have been battling for ages. Always reaching a peak and then this battle over and over again, you can't win and yet you don't give," Salem said, as Oscar slowly pushed his body forward. " are you still trying? Ozpin you can't win!" Salem Said as she grabbed Oscar by the hair, she was pulled away by Ruby gripping crescent rose with one hand aimed at Salem. unfortunately before she could fire Salem extended a finger and stabbed her shoulder making her scream and drop her weapon, " hush now. The grownups are talking," She saod as she turned back to Ozpin but found he was gone, instead Oscar grabbed his cane and leveled it at Salem, " I DONT CARE WHAT HAPPENDS BUT THIS IS THE END! BY THE BROTHER GODS I WILL DEFEAT YOU, AND NOTHING CAN STOP THAT!" Ozpin yelled as he released all his pent up magic and empowered himself, he stopped when he heard Salem chuckle

" what's so funny?" Oscar asked "it's just that...you think the brother gods can save you, well I just have something to ask.., WHO DO YOU THINK GAVE BIRTH TO THEM!?" Salem yelled.

" what!?" Ozpin asked, " oh my dear babies, the time I gave life to them they were all I could care about, unfortunately one required a bit more attention than the other as such the pit of jelliousy formed, the two fought over for my attention, and even worse when one gave life the other sabotaged it. It was horrid, I knew I had to put a stop to this so, I asked him to show me the best creation he had, he replied with ' I have one in the works and I would love to have you help me with it.' He said seeing this as a family bonding and a way to see his error I agreed, The process created the form you see before you," Salem said " I loved my babies. But knowing they couldn't countune to fight they made one last creation before they went there separate ways, you human pests, as I stood watch for my youngest son, awaiting for his full return," Salem said

" I-impossible!" Oscar yelled, " YOU LIE!" Ozpin said, " AM I OZPIN AM I LYING!?" Salem boomed, " now face the wrath of a Primordial!"Salem yelled as she rose her hand up and conjured a dark ball and tossed it at Ozpin. Oscar was shocked and unable to dodge, when a light exploded.

Salem looked up to see an Man with white Feathered wings floating above light streaming off him like the sun, "Hello mother." He said in a calm voice, "bonum." Salem awed as her sons return, as the god lowered himself to the ground, Ozpin bowed, "my lord I'm sorry I, i was unable to stop her, I've failed." He said "I relize that now Ozpin, and I now relize it was never your fight in the first place, We will handle Salem." Borum Said " as he turned around and freed Ruby from the pillar and revived her, ( he is the god of life)

Ruby panted as Oscar ran to her, " wait he said we?" Ruby asked, As Salem looked up to see a man like bonum but with black wings "Malum!" Salem cried as her second and youngest son lowered, " hello mother," he said. " I've waited for you, it is ready." Salem said throwing her hands out, however Malum raised his hand " it is not necessary mother, when I left to contemplate, brother Bonum came to find me, and after much persuasion I've learned what I've done wrong. I have come back to rest my sins," Malum Said, extending his hands out.

"Let me purify you mother, and then...we can become family once again." Malum said.

" after all I've done for you...I've waited for you, I've been experimented on by you, I've thrown my life away to see you happy, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!?" Salem yelled blowing both Ozpin and Ruby back, " fuck!" The gods said, Bonum looked to Malum. " it's looks as though we have no choice but to fight." Bonum said "left right, right left?" He asked "agreed," Malum said " LETS GO!" They Said together as they rushed forward. Salem snarled as they both charged, Bonum went left low for her groin, as Malum went high right for her head, Salem for the first time actives her powers and began to slip away, unfortunately she didn't expect Malum to expect this and hit her from behind, "I've seen that move before too many times." He said " nice going brother." Bonum complemented. As Salem snarled and charged at the two

( with ruby)

In the air flying Ruby was getting father away as tried to reach out to stop herself with crescent rose, the blade Hooked onto a crystaline railing leading up to her sacrificial ridge, unfortunately the suddenly shift in weight hit Ruby's arm full force. "Gah!" She cried as she looked at the railing. " RUBY!" Oscar yelled reaching out, " grab my hand!" He cried Ruby tried to lift her other free hand but chose against it, amd the shifting weight forced more wight on her shoulder. She looked deep into Oscar and said "forgive me." As she dragged Crescent roses blade off the railing as she fell. " NOOOO!" Oscar yelled,

Ruby brought her crescent rose down to face the ground, gritting her teeth ' I've only got one shot make it count!' Ruby thought. As she aimed and fired. The recoil was good enough that it sped Ruby flying high enough to land back on the edge where she collapsed,

" Ruby!"Oscar though " what were you thinking!?" He asked tears in his eyes, " I'm sorry, but with my injured arm I couldn't reach out and grab you, and my other arm was starting to fail this was the only way I could've gotten up there, trust me I know it was risky but relize I would never have done it if there was another way." Ruby said. Oscar nodded and embraced her, Ruby shocked for a second but ultimately hugged back.

( back with Salem,)

Bonum was thrown off of Salem and stood next to his panting brother, "were running out of ideas!" He said, " I know, how can she be so difficult to beat we've done it before." Malum said " maybe you should ask those powered you gave her." Bonum said as he and Malum dodged a magic attack from Salem, who was laughing, " that's it!" Malum said, " BROTHER GIVE ME AN OPENING!" Malum yelled "you got it!" Bonum said as he flew at Salem,

He winded up for a punch and went for her face, however Salem leaned left and slammed a knee into his gut, throwing him back, Salem looked to see Malum charging from behind she pulled her arm back as a black starless portal opened up and as she spun her hand in circles became larger and larger. " After getting large enough the black faded away to reveal a desert, " Vanish!" Salem yelled as she tossed the portal at Malum who charged straight forward and disappeared, " BROTHER!" Bonum cried as he flew into the portal after him.

" so sad my babies. I tried to help you I tried to be a good mother." Salem said, " What happened wasn't your fault." A voice soda revealing to be Oscar and Ruby, " you again?" Salem asked, " that's the one problem with humanity, you can't put us down," Ruby said, " perhaps not. But with all the relics in my hand," Salem said, as she snapped her fingers and the four relics floated around her.

( in the other realm)

Malum appered in the desert flying at high speed and bearly registering the approaching ground. "ArrrrAHHHHH!" He cried as he tried to slow down and or stop but it was too late, as he was going to fast. " BROTHER!"Bonum cried as he saw him approaching the ground he sped up and bumped into Malum pushing him aside making him skid across the top of the dune while Bonum slammed right into it,

Malum coughed up the sand in his mouth, "ugh!" He sighed before looking around "brother!" Malum cried as he ran to him ( more of a skip and a short flight) Bonum was in a crator, not looking to good, " Malum...your okay!" He smiled, " thanks to you you saved me," he said "of course I did...we're brothers. Malum smiled and looked to his brothers wings. " i cannfeel them, I don't think I can fly again." Bonum said "don't say that." Malum saod "listen the portal, is closing, only you have the power...to stop...mother," Bonum saod " But I'm nothing without you." Malum said " Bonum scoffed and smiled. " that's where your wrong...now go." He said his voice getting more and more horse, Malum nodded and stood up flying toward the portal " I promise I will come back for you!" Malum said. " stay alive brother! I love you!" Malum said as he flew off.

( Salem)

Ozpin charged forward and slid under Salem's legs hitting the legs out from unde her, as Upruby charged for a downward strike, but Salem grabbed her out of the air, and spiked her into the ground. Unfortunately where Ruby was swinging down the portal reappeared and Malum flew out and bashed Salem in the head, Malum jumped back. "Mother I'm sorry for the monster I've turned you into, but I seek to rewrite my wrongs, I will free you from my curse, Weither you want me to or not!" Malum said as he lunged forward,

Salem also ran forward, as Malum cut at Salem's face the white slowly drained from her face to reveal a pale skin, and normal eyes, as Salem fell to her knees, and gasped. As Malum looked shocked. "Mater vitae?" He asked Salem looked up. " Malum?" Salem asked, " oh mater. Your free!" Malum said as he went to embrace her. When suddenly he reeled back and grabbed his right arm, looking at it, everyone relized his arm was burning up due to the corrupted power of the Grimm, "MALUM RELEASE IT!" Salem said "but if I do it will go to you again!" Malum yelled. "PLEASE I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU DIE!" Mater Said, after a bit of groans Malum throws his hand up and releases the energy into the sky, as he fell back.

"it's done." Malum said "hold on where's your brother?" Salem said, as a portal opend and out limped a battered Bonum. " ugh!" He cried as he fell to his knees. And passed out,

[ end flashback]

Both Glynda and Qrow were in shock " are you telling me Salem was a mother of gods?" Qrow asked, " amd the fact she was a primordial?" Glynda asked, "yes, in fact it doesn't surprise me that Salem or Mater was a primordial, they hold tremendous power, they are world builders after all, but she is the last of her kind." Ozpin said " but hold on, what about Bonum and Malum her offspring surely they can take her place?" Qrow asked. "Both Bonum and Malum are offspring of Mater and have the abilities to craft worlds, but they are not primordial's. Due to her being the last of her kind, Mater produced her "son's " through Asexual means." Ruby said. " great," Qrow said while taking a swig from his flask. " so what does this have to do with the Grimm in any way shape or form?" Glynda asked well, due to the fact that thengrimm are crafted by Malum's Hatred, amd once he launched it into the air, the energy scattered, it will only be a matter of time before a new Salem takes form this time I fear without a host." Ruby said. " great, so we have three years down, and I with the 10 year possibly deadline we got a lot of ground to cover," Qrow said, "yes we do, which is why most of What Team RWBY will and teach is most imperative, understand Ruby you hold the key to humanity, not only in your eyes, but in the next generation." Ozpin said
