7:20 PM

Pyrrah held her head as she slowly stood up, panting. She just couldn't understand, one minute she just witnessed a mysterious man blow up Cinder and then the next she was back to fighting Penny again.

'What is actually going on?' she thought as she finally faced Penny.

"Are you sure you are okay, Mrs. Nikos?" Penny asked her with a tilt of her head.

Pyrrah looked at Penny's concerned face and slightly calmed down. Maybe she was just imagining things, after all the pressure could have sneaked in a delusion or two. "Yeah Penny, let's have a great match" she smiled at the odd girl.

Penny returned the smile with her own grin and they charged at each other. As they clashed Pyrrah thought 'I'm sure that I was just imagining things,' both girls jumped away and then charged each other again 'now let's try win this round for my team.'

What Pyrrah wasn't going to expect was the feeling of déjà vu later on.


8:05 PM

Pyrrah could only act and swipe her weapon at the wave of Grimm along with Jaune, trying to get to Cinder at the top. Her mind was jumbled and all over the place, filled with confusion and questions.

For instance…

'WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN!?' the one main question was bouncing all over her mind. The events were playing in her mind; the match, Penny supposedly throwing thousands of swords and then how she "killed" Penny with her semblance. It happened once but then it was happening again!

As she reached the place where she and Jaune, she sighed and faced him to tell him how they should separate. However she was tackled by Jaune as he hugged her, she then felt a growing dampness on her sleeve.

"Pyrrah, you probably won't believe me but…" he looked at her with red, tear filled eyes "I already lost you two times and I don't want to lose you again."

She looked at him with shock, throughout the battle for Beacon Pyrrah had furiously apologized to Ruby for killing Penny again. But then Ruby tilted her head in confusion and asked "You killed her once?" and that was when Pyrrah realized something was wrong. She had told Ozpin and Qrow about how Cinder would kill Amber and then she would have all the power. They too looked her with confusion and then shock when Cinder's arrow hit Amber in the chest just like Pyrrah predicted. Throughout the battle, she felt confused at how she knew everything that was going to happen but then when she asked the others if they knew or told them what was going to happen. The others would look at her like she was crazy or with shock of how she managed to know.

But Jaune… could it be…?

"Jaune…" she began as she held his face in her hands "… tell me if this is true…" She bit her lip and then said "At this time, am I going to kiss you and then shove you into a rocket propelled locker?"

Jaunes' eyes widened and he nodded furiously "Yes! Yes! Yes!" then he registered the significance behind her knowledge of the future. "Pyrrah… do you remember everything…?

She nodded, much to Jaune's relief "I don't know how, but I remember everything that happened in the past hour." She looked at Jaune's face "But this does not mean I'm not letting you come with me."

His face immediately turned to a protesting one "Why not!? Pyrrah, if you didn't experience it already then you know you will be killed by Cinder! So why are you still going!?" Jaune, at this point was grabbing her shoulders and shaking them.

"Because I didn't die this time." She replied, Jaune immediately had an expression of confusion "I don't know what it is, but there was a man that protected me. And the strange thing is…" Pyrrah looked at Jaune "he had your voice, Jaune."

Jaune was silent with confusion and couldn't process the information given to him. He snapped out of his thinking when he found himself in the locker again. "Jaune, I know you want to help…" Pyrrah began "but this time, I need to know what's going on." She moved closer, giving him a longer kiss than the last time "So please Jaune, help the others and I'll tell you what I saw again ok?"

Jaune stared at her for a few seconds but then adopted a face of resolution. "Ok then." Just as Pyrrah was about to close the door and input the directions he decided to leave one more comment "By the way Pyrrah," he smiled at her "you owe me a date."

Pyrrah could only stare at Jaune before the words finally registered to her. Flustered, she slammed the door harder than needed and quickly slammed the buttons to the location of their friends. As she watched the locker disappear over the distance, she smiled and started to climb Beacon. 'This time' Pyrrah thought 'I'm going to get to the bottom of this.'


8:18 PM

Pyrrah had been expecting Cinder to be fighting her alone, the duo would have been fighting each other until the point where Cinder would trumpth and kill her. And then a mysterious man would save her life and then suddenly she would be back to fighting Penny again.

What she didn't expect was Mercury and Emerald to be there.

Apparently her constantly correct statements didn't just breeze by for Cinder, so when she climbed the tower to the main signal. She decided to bring Mercury and Emerald as a precaution.

And now Pyrrah was kneeling, battered and bruised from the three way attack. She had just realized about Emerald's illusions and Mercury's prosthetic legs, but even with the knowledge she was badly beaten and left exhausted of her Aura.

Mercury laughed as he saw Pyrrah continue to try to get up again "Well, looks like the "Invincible Girl" isn't as she seems!" He then kneeled next to her, smirking "Well unlike last time, you can't forfeit this match!"

Emerald however was silent, seeming to be conflicted with herself and opted to just stand by the side thinking to herself.

8:19 PM

Smirking, Cinder pulled back the bow "Face it child. You were no match for a maiden, along with two other experienced killers."

Pyrrah readied herself, expecting the bow to fly and the man to appear again.

But what everyone was not expecting was what was going to happen in the next minute.

8:20 PM

Suddenly, Cinder's back burst open without any sign of an attack. All the others could do was stare, horrified and confused, as Cinder let go of the bow and arrow stumbling around.

"What…" Cinder took one glance at her back then to Pyrrah "What did you do to me?!" She summoned her bow again, readying to fire it. But then she suddenly blew up, letting out an anguished cry as her remains began to dissolve in the air.

Emerald could only stare, horrified at the sudden death of her boss. Mercury however, responded in a different manner.

"You bitch!" Mercury pulled back his leg ready to kill Pyrrah "I don't know what you did, but I'm not going to let you get away killing Cinder!" He then kicked downwards, aiming for her head.

The boot stopped before it could actually pierce her head, seemingly being held by another person. Then it was shoved off as it revealed a familiar small man and then it went back to its trademark position.

"Bomb #3 has been triggered!" The man then raised its hand, thumb twitching "Bites the Dust!" Then he pressed his thumb downwards and this caused Mercury's back to burst open similar to Cinders' and Emerald could only scream in horror and confusion…

As Pyrrah and Penny jumped away from each other, Penny several of her swords forward, using her semblance she pushed the swords away and was about to charge to Penny…

She then collapsed to her knees confused and terrified. Pyrrah wasn't expecting Cinder to die without warning. She was expecting the man to appear to and kill Cinder but not Cinder to just suddenly die just like the way she did before. Then how did that…

Her eyes widened and she began hyperventilating, as she got back to her feet and looked at a confused and concerned Penny. Pyrrah realized something, something that was incredibly dangerous. The mysterious man's ability…

'If I went back in time... then that means Cinder's Death is in the future!' She held her head 'Then that also means…!'

Mercury Black was going to die at 8:21 PM
