As Weiss in the throne bleeding and gripping her wound, yet intent on victory; Ruby shocked yet intent on completion... Yang tunnel visioned on winning, and Blake smug on success, Modriot materialized at the entrance just ahead of Yang. In this moment Modriot appears very thrown off guard. Blake yells in a blood curdling scream "now!" And Ruby jumps down from the rafters and just an instant prior to her landing Weiss impales the ground with her Mytenaster and creates a linear path of glyphs leading to Modriot. Ruby is accelerated towards Modriot with Crescent Rose cocked back. Roughly half way through her journey, Yang jumps in and puts Modriot into a Full-Nelson. Modriot grins and bares her teeth. Ruby makes contact and horizontally slashes her midriff. Yang is safe; Ruby manages to stop at the apex of her strike, she jumps back and regains her composure. Yang has Modriot's blood reach her legs as it run off from Modriot's. Modriot relaxes her posture and immediately coughs up blood. She tells "how did you get here?"
Weiss manages to stand up and accelerate to Modriot using those glyphs and impale Modriot and Yang . Weiss bows her head and says "I'm sorry... I had the chance, and I took it" Yang being highly resilient says with little to no reaction "fine... do it"
Modriot immediately smiles and grips Mytenaster with her left hand, and jabs Weiss in the throat; Weiss collapses, and releases her rapier. Modriot pivots to her left and Elbows Yang in the chest. Yang is sent backwards still maintaining her footing.. Modriot jumps backwards. Ruby seeing an opening, swings Crescent Rose overhead. Modriot meets the shaft of Ruby's scythe with her grasp and holds on. Yanks her scythe towards herself, and as Ruby still grabbing it is hurled towards Modriot, Modriot headbutts Ruby. Ruby immediately rives in pain and collapses; Modriot still suspending her scythe. With her left hand. She twirls the scythe using its head as a counterweight and orients it as to wield it. She drops it parallel to Ruby.
Ruby reaches out and grabs Modriot's ankle and mumbles "stop. Stop doing this" Modriot places her boot on Ruby's arm and says "You cannot forgive me. You still haven't. None of this should be. Yet it is. Can either parties afford to stop and walk away? One way or another this will be finished." Modriot breaks free and turns towards Yang who's hair and eyes are glowing. Modriot slowly circles Yang in a broad orbit an says "are you about to die on your feet?" Yang says "you sure talk big" Modriot hoffs at the notion. Modriot retorts by saying "you bear a scar by me, and a hole in you by that ice queen. You can't possibly be intent of fighting me any further. Continue and I really will be forced to take your lives." Yang immediately charges in with a right hook and is met with Modriot catching her fist; in this instant the order of her injury-boosted punch shattered the ground behind Modriot and blew her cloak to pieces. Unphased Modriot smirks and grabs Yang's arm, reels her in, picks her up slams her down with enough force to shatter the ground below. Modriot follows up with a cocked fist while on top of Yang and punches the ground just inches to the rift of her head causing further damage. She maintains to stance and says "you're not the only strong one" and immediately gets up. Yang rolls over and attempts to sweep Modriot, and uses that momentum to stand up. Yang ejects the casings from her Ember Celica and reloads with a slightly different loading. Modriot looks down at her impaling wound; she places her right hand over it in turn bloodying her hand. She starts to quiver and break out in a cold sweat and says "you know... I can't stand the sight of my own blood... I can't stand it..." She power walks towards Yang, Yang fires a blast of Ember Celica at Modriot; Modriot side steps the attack and throws her blood at her face momentarily blinding her.
Yang relaxes her stance attempting to wipe her face clear. While she can, Modriot tackles Yang to the ground and jabs her in the mid-riff and screams "enough" she gets up and looks around. Proclaims, where are you? There were four of you.
Very reserved and awkwardly, Blake appears out from behind the throne. Modriot faces her, demands "you're going to be smarter than your friends I hope." Blake points to her hesitantly says that "they'll come for you." Referring to the Atlesian military and Vale law enforcement. Modriot tilts her head and laments that she's aware of this. She says "Its not of any importance, because this place isn't part of Remnant even. It matters not if I'm identified."
Blake says "you're a criminal. But even you have ways to actualize things. Weiss... Yang, and Ruby they do not."
Modriot insulted says "you spit on their names in front of me? You're truly terrible. Perhaps they've always been keen about you." Blake says "no. They're aware of my Faunus lineage and previous occupation."
Modriot now very interested asks "and what, now you wish to go back? Do you know of me? Were you waiting for me?" Blake says "no. Someone like you." Modriot casually retorts with "tch. I lay waste to your team, you initiated a attack, all for what? You know I really do need to patch myself up and end this soon... At this rate I really will die. Either get to your point or finish me off."
Blake quite surprised says "put simply I wish to see what the White Fang is up to. You must take me to the south eastern quadrant where they hold faction meetings."
Modriot now slightly hunched over begins to breath more
Heavily and says "I don't have to do anything. You're in my home. Get this going. I'm an enemy aren't I?"
Blake sits on the throne and sighs. She says "then do you wish for the humans to win?"
Modriot begins to laugh hysterically but is momentarily stopped by coughing of blood. She catches her self and says "oh man don't make me laugh... I'm barely holding together as is... Are you touched in the head girl? What makes you think I favor victory? Do you think I'm here to help you? Don't overstep your self child. I'm very close to putting an end to this..."
Blake glares. She follows up with "so you favor war and destruction? You'll get that. Help me and usurp the ones pulling the strings."
Modriot in an elevated voice says "I have no interest in assisting anyone here... Have you not got that?"
Blake smugly says "I'm offering you a position of power. Well in time. I... Actually still believe in what the White Fang wants is right"
Modriot closes her eyes and says with much mania "how mind naive... How mind dizzyingly naive. Do you think I would not simply take it had I desired it? I could kill you, and challenge the entire worlds military. I could rule Remnant within a week. You have nothing to offer me."
Blake disappointingly says "you certainly don't lack for confidence."
Modriot coughs up blood. Says "not need I. Again. Either attack, or go. I no longer have any interest in you. You're beyond trying to understand. There is a war coming, you know this right? Maybe I'll unite them under my own banner. Then we'll see what's what."
Blake smiles and says "then you'll be an enemy to the white fang. We oppose the war. We're fighting for peace."
Modriot demands that Blake leave and that she'll allow her to leave with all of their lives. She states "then assemble your force. Meet me when the time is right, girl. I haven't been defeated; your team thus far has. Broken, beat, scarred. Go now. All of you."
Blake recovers each of her fallen squad mates. Passes through the portal. Returns and one by one they are back in remnant.
Modriot walks over to her end of the portal and yells "the contingent war is coming. We both now favor chaos. You emotionless manipulator... Hope your comrades flay you alive... You have some explaining to do... Hahah.."
Modriot closes the portal... She immediately collapses in a small pool of her own blood. Damnit... She says... She looks at herder hand... Sighs and rolls over and gets back up... She goes to her room behind the door which is in turn behind the stone throne. She ignites the torch stone. She attends her wounds and equips her spare identical equipment.
