Chapter 4. The Aftermath
Ben stood where Beacon use to stand remembering that day.
"If only things ended differently." Ben thought.
"So it's just us now isn't it?" Ragnarok asked.
"Yes, good thing you can't make me insane now." Ben said jokingly.
"I guess so. Anyways, where are we going to go now?" Ragnarok asked.
Ben started to walk away from the ruined Beacon Academy.
"I don't know. I guess….whatever comes our way." Ben said.
"But we can take on anything that comes our way." Ragnarok said.
"Yeah. Too bad we have to stay hidden from everyone." Ben said.
"Not from me." Raven said.
"What are you doing here Raven?" Ben asked.
"She's not the only one that's here." Qrow said behind Raven.
"What do you two want from me?" Ben asked.
"We want to know why you did what you did there." Qrow asked.
"At first I wanted Cynder to die with the one she raised. But somehow I lived." Ben said.
"But why keep yourself in secret?" Raven asked.
"I feel like my time was over Raven but something is telling me it's not the end of Cynder she will come back and kill everyone, and with that ancient grimm up there. I'm just here to keep an eye on it." Ben said.
"If so why do you have him with you?" Qrow asked.
"Who me? Why I was founded in the rubble. I wanted Ben to wield me again. Plus he was already descended into madness so I can't make him insane." Ragnarok said.
"Ragnarok will help me protect what is left of Vale." Ben said.
"If so you might need a second companion if you don't want our help maybe she can." Qrow said showing Amethyst in his hands.
"Amethyst you're still alive?" Ben asked.
"Yes, I told you as long as you live I will stay alive. We're connected." Amethyst said as she turned herself to her human like state.
"I wish Summer was here she would make help me keep Ruby safe." Ben said looking down.
Qrow walks up to Ben and pats his head.
"She is here you dummy. Remember she's in you. She made sure you would stay alive when you were tested so you could protect Ruby for her." Qrow said.
"Thanks Qrow. You guys should head back to Ruby and the others they need you all more than me." Ben said.
"I wish we could help you Ben but you should probably keep it a secret. Oh and by the way Blake is somewhere around here she took the lead of the White Fang since they found out what happened to Adam. You should go to her maybe she will help you." Qrow said.
"How do you know that?" Ben asked.
"It's in my name" Qrow said as him and Raven left Vale to go back to the others.
"Soooo what now Ben?" Ragnarok asked.
"I guess we could look for Blake she is a good comrade to have plus since she is in control of the White Fang it makes our job a lot easier." Ben said
"Don't forget I'm here to Ben." Amethyst said walking next to him and Ragnarok coming out of Ben's back.
"Yeah. We're the three musketeers in a way. ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL." Ragnarok said.
"I guess so." Ben said with a smile.
Now that Ben has his two weapons, one representing light and the other representing darkness. Now their next objective is to find Blake and defeat the rest of the madness in the world. The only question is how?
The narrator closes the book and reveals that it is Ben.
"I guess we'll find out." Ben said with a smile.
