Chapter-1 End of the old... Beginning again...
Yang would find herself amiss, in the end, she was alone once more, so much she wished she could have done and yet she was too weak. For she could not protect the ones she loved, and so she was lost in her own eternal damnation. Even now, at the very top of Mount Grimm, Standing within the destroyed walls of Salem's keep, she did not feel pride, or accomplishment, or joy, not even a sense of justice or vengance.
She stood in an Atlesian military flak jacket and combat vest, black as night, military grade pants and combat boots as well, a tight cloth mask covering her mouth and nose, her unruly blond hair covering her left eye, her right eye was calm, but still burned a bloody crimson, it had been like this ever since... no, she would not think about that, not now, she would cry when she was dead. She looked down at her cybernetic arm, it had long since been upgraded by the same scientist that built penny, she was greatful for his help... but she went ahead and let the poor man down as well, he too was dead...
Everyone was dead... even her... yes, Yang was dead, to herself and to the world, she only existed now... a finite period of being, one that was coming to an end... soon...
But not until she ripped this white haired, pale skinned shitstain limb from limb and hung the damn thing from it's entrails...
Salem... the monster, the witch, the horrid demon that had destroyed everything with her hoards of grimm and her manipulation of the most vulnerable people she could find... Cinder was just one of many once innocent souls dragged in after being betrayed by their fellow man and faunus alike...
Oh how she would enjoy this... deep down inside.
There was no speaking necessary, even as Salem's fortress burned around them, Atlesian soldiers lay dead all around with decaying Grimm and Huntsmen along with Huntresses and combat drones littered the floor, stinking of rotting flesh and blood with oil. Salem hated Yang, and Yang oh so very much hated Salem, that was the only thing they would ever be able to agree on, their mutual loathing of the other.
Wind blew silently into the throne room, the walls smashed to bits by heavy weapons fire, smoke billowing out of the other sections, the atmosphere was heavy but the air was thin, dark purple skies erupted with red lightning far off in the distance, and the shattered moon hung overhead.
It took only a single twitch, and both of them went at eachother's throats, Salem threw a burst of black fire at Yang, melting the stone floor where she once stood, Yang had jumped and came crashing down on the steps to the throne but Salem was not idle either, ducking to the side just in time and extending her claws to swipe at Yang.
The blond deftly raised her metal arm to block while her other hand grabbed Salem by the neck and threw the witch into a wall causing it to crack, Yang then sprinted towards her and threw a pile-driver into her chin, causing the wall to cave in at the point of impact.
Yang grinned. "Not so tough are you now, you bitch..." She growled out, her voice was no longer that of a young teen, but a woman now, Salem however did not find that statement amusing as she planted her clawed hands directly into Yang's stomach. It was going an anti-climactic end... both opponents where spent on their aura, Salem had stolen her reserves, and Yang had used up the last that Jaune had given her before he passed. "Make it count" he had said... and she certainly was...
Salem's cracked skull was hemorrhaging black blood that leaked out of the wall and down to the floor, as well as oozing over Yang's fist. Crimson fluid also began to leak from Yang's gut, she pulled her fist away, letting the witch fall to the floor with her skull split open, Yang then stumbled back, before her body found the floor, a puddle of red pooling around her as her vision went blurry, it was all so cold, so surreal...
And so lonely...
But it was not the end... the god's would not accept such an outcome, they refused, chaos would still reign after all was said and done, Dark and Light needed help to balance eachother, Life and Death...
This was not over, not by a long shot, things needed to happen that did not occur. It was time for round 2, the pieces on the board reset, it would be different this time...
It had to be, for everyone's sake...
