cynder was suspended in the air as the maiden power was leaving summer's body. ultimate power was finally within her grasp as the fiery auraflew towards her...

and past her.

in shock, cinder looked behind her to the closed elevator doors, where the maidens power flew to. The room was silent as cinder fell to the ground.

Then, the doors started to glow. brighter and brighter they glew until they started to melt. a maniacal laugh could be heard as fire was spat out between the gaps in the liquid metal. after the doors were reduced to a glob of orange goo on the floor, pyronormal stepped through, the opening on the top of his helmet burning like a wildfire. behind him was Road wrecker, carrying an unconscious mercury and emerald over either shoulder.

"so this," said pyronormal, the yellow teeth unmoving as he spoke "is the little girl that wanted to be a princess so badly, she betrayed her species and pledged her allegiance to the queen of the monsters who want nothing but to make all of humanity go extinct."

Road Wrecker dropped the teens he was carrying as he chuckled "you're really pathetic cinder. you know that, right?"

"W-who are you!?" Cinder was starting to get scared. "how did you get the power?! its not possible!"

"Well, to answer your question would require a long and, frankly, boring explanation of thermodynamics and undead sorcery. But long story short, I'm practically a god of fire."

Road Wrecker joined in "Besides, we're not here to fight you yet. We're just stalling you so everyone can escape through the portal I opened over there while pyronormal here melted the door."

Cinder turned around, and sure enough, Jaune was flipping her off before walking through the glowing portal leading outside right before it closed, leaving only cinder, her lackeys, Pyronormal, and road wrecker in the room.

Pyronormal grinned "okay, now we can fight." he pulled a flamethrower chainsaw from behind his back and revved/fired it up as road wrecker pulled two custom heavy caliber glock 19s from his holsters and loaded them with pocket dimension clips, giving him 500 shots each. "or, you can just surrender."

Cinder's face was filled with rage "If you think for one moment that I'll-"

"Well... we tried."

"I said she could surrender, right? how many times?"

"Once before we fought, once before you sawed her arm off, twice after you cut her arm off, and a few times after I shot her in the leg."

"I think we should leave a tip for the janitor."

"Way ahead of you" Road wrecker placed a suitcase full of Lien with a not that said sorry on a note. He opened a portal with his gun, and the duo stepped outside to see anyone who wasn't Hannamatronic holding each other in fear and awe as they watched her devour the grimm dragon that she had sawed in half literally two seconds ago. "HI HONEY!"

Ozpin looked at him with a strange look on his face. "That's your wife?!"

"Fiance actually. But we do have a little girl. Adopted, don't worry."

"Neither of you should be parents!"

"Yeah, we had to do a lot of paperwork."

One more chapter to go!
