Chapter 2: Castle Crashing

I woke up on the cold and hard ground. There was a red crescent moon in the sky that was the same color as blood. The ground had no signs of grass or any other plant. No insects were there either. Buildings were destroyed and the sky was a horrifying shade of red. I saw some servants trying to attack me, but I couldn't fight back because I didn't know what was going on. The gray figures jumped up at me, but I was protected by Yang. Her fists slammed into their skulls. Bones and marrow flew everywhere and some of it grazed Yang's cheek. They buried themselves into the ground.

"Are you okay," the blonde asked me.

"I guess I am."

"Good to know. We can't afford any injuries. Lucky for you, Weiss carried you to a safe distance. It's a war out there, Blake," she said with sincerity in her voice.

The feisty blonde looked around to see if there were any more servants nearby. I remained alert as well.

"Coast is clear," she said, "Come on, Blake. We need to see Weiss and Ruby."

That was fine with me. I wanted to know more about what was happening. I hate to be left in the dark. We sped off and stood by what used to be Beacon. Weiss and Ruby landed in front of us.

"It's about time you guys showed up," Weiss said with a smirk.

"Anyway, we obviously have to stop Insanity. How do we do that," Ruby asked.

"I know how. I used to be her closest servant and we have a certain link that allows us to find each other," Weiss said.

We all followed Weiss until she came to a stop. She punched into the ground with dark aura around her fist and a castle appeared along with two guards. The neanderthals pushed their swords towards the door; Weiss's head was almost sliced off. She back flipped away from the blades.

"No one shall pass unless given permission," both of them said in unison.

Their skin was gray and their irises were soulless and dark.

"Let's force our way through," I shouted before we lifted up our weapons and advanced.

Weiss slammed her sword into the ground and ice came out of a crevice. The sentries were frozen in place. They struggled and some ice came off.

"Let's go. We don't have time," Yang exclaimed.

We all rushed in and closed the door. Weiss created a rune that froze the door in permafrost.

I ran along with the group. Ruby was ahead of us; she collided with a servant. We were all shocked when it was Nora Valkyrie. Nora had tears streaming down her face and it didn't seem like she was paying attention to us. She gestured for us to walk pass her so we did. While I ran, I saw nearby spies dragging the crying girl away. I felt a little bad for her, but I had to focus on the task at hand. There were two more doors that didn't have any guards nearby it. We pushed them open together and couldn't believe the sight that we saw. Blood was dripping from artificial stalactites and Insanity's throne was actually made of the bones and joints contained in a human hand. It was even in the shape of a hand trying to reach into the heavens. The crazed woman was on top of someone with a scalpel in her hand. She stabbed it into their forehead and ingested the blood that gushed out. Insanity bit into the skull and the structure of it was full on the left and flat on the right. The right eye was consumed along with the marrow. The scalpel was taken out of the poor soul's head and forced through the neck. She ripped it in half and grabbed their throat along with their vocal chords. She put them close to her mouth and bit into them. Her skin was red because of the massive amounts of blood that came from her dying victim. The entity looked up and finally saw us. She wrapped the body in darkness and it disappeared.

"That is what happens to my disobedient soldiers," she said to the other people that watched the traumatizing show. They swallowed the lumps in their throats and returned to their previous duties.

One of them was a slacker. Insanity picked him up with her psychokinesis and lifted him towards the stalactites above. The blood fell in her hair and she loved every minute of seeing him hold on for dear life. The man squirmed and it made a smile full of malice appear on her face. She ignored the screams. I looked towards Ruby and Weiss; they knew that they played a hand in this unfortunate chain of events. Yang told them something that reassured them. Insanity looked at us with apathy.

"I see that the dogs came to their master on their own. It would have been a little fun to send out a small search party," she said with a hysterical laugh.

"It ends here, Insanity," Ruby said with fire in her eyes.

"You guys lie too often. I am an omnipotent goddess. You are just a pack of dogs that should be on a leash," she said condescending to us.

We still stood our ground.

"I guess you people won't back away until my lifeless body is on the ground. How terrible of you," she said with a laugh, "I wanted to die and rot in Hell for all eternity, but I never had that chance. My power was too great for even Hell itself. It filled me with anger and self-hatred. But self-hatred did not go as deep through my veins as the hatred that I am hording for this little group. Now it's time for you to feel my wrath."

She blew black dust at us and it caused our bodies to go numb. My vision started to fail me and the whole world faded to black.
