"So where is he?" Ilia asked
"I have no idea" Blake said before the wall next to them exploded
"Found him" Ilia said as the pair got back up as a White Fang heavy soldier was pulled back in via a web shot and flung over Spider Man's shoulders into another couple of soldiers who then leapt back onto the wall above the two walls
"Hey girls, how are things?" he asked
"You look busy" Ilia said
"I am" Spidey said as he jumped back into the fray
"DAD" Blake said going over to her father
"Hello Blake" Fennec said trying to stab her, only to have Vision grab the blade and throw it away near where Ilia was, Blake nodded to Ilia who kicked the knife back to Fennec, only to be knocked off her feet
"Sorry" Wasp said
'NO problem" Ilia whispered as she got back up and drew out her whip and started to fling it around. Blake used her Gambol Shroud to try and block some of the whip strike while redirecting them to the other targets that were around her.
"This isn't good, there's too many of them' Blake though as Vision knocked Corsac back a bit with a single punch. He then turned around and looked at the girl who was nervous
"Be strong and we will win this" Vision said
"Okay" Blake said as a Brute threw Sun into the pair. Vision glared as he phased through the brute and then grabbed his collar and threw him to a wall where Black Panther was, giving him the ability to kick the brute into Corsac
"We're not going to survive the fight much longer" Sun said
"I agree" Blake said as Ghira was knocked into a pillar which was crushed making the top floor collapse "DAD!"
"Hold on" Sun said
"Things are not looking good Oz" Qrow said as he was holding a cup of coffee as he joined Ozpin and Capt in the main room
"I know how you feel, things have been a little too quiet for my liking" Capt said "Even if it means there are things happening in the shadows"
"Ever the optimists aren't you, now while I won't call our situation ideal. I think we can all agree that this situation should be worse. Humanity is a resilient force" Ozpin said sipping his hot chocolate
"Agreed, and there is always back up around to help us out" Capt said
"But Pro huntsmen just don't go around biting the dust Oz, Salem may be powerful, it also seems like her reach is growing day by day, what does that say for humanity?" Qrow said
"That there are people out there with misguide few that have filled their hearts with malice. It does not take a great number of people to cause harm, but it is my belief that there are far more people who reside in this world who is willing to prevent it" Ozpin said sipping his drink as Ruby walked into the room
"Um excuse me" Ruby said
"Ah Miss Rose, please join us. We were just about to gather everyone to discuss what are next steps will be" Ozpin said
"Oh uh great" Ruby smiled
"Hey kiddo, what's on your mind?" Qrow asked
"Um if it's okay to ask you" Ruby said
"Go ahead Miss Rose" Ozpin said
"We've been talking about the relic at Haven and the Spring Maiden, but what about the Fall Maiden?" Ruby asked
"You mean Cinder" Ozpin said
"Does that mean she has Beacon's relic?" Ruby asked
"Very astute Miss Rose, I have been wondering who was going to be the first to ask. No thankfully she doesn't. It is true that the relic at Haven is at a high risk and for now that should be our primary focus, but for now let's just say that I made finding the relic at Beacon a bit more challenging than the other schools" Ozpin said
"Oh, that's good to hear" Ruby said sighing feeling relieve
"It is, but there is still a challenge laying ahead of us" Ozpin said sipping his drink "Now is there anything else we can help you with"
"Oh um well you see I did have one more question" Ruby said
"No my cane is not the relic" Ozpin said
"I have no more questions" Ruby said making everyone laugh
"Yes, well now that my cane is indeed special to me, that's all it is special to me, while I still have a few tricks up my sleeves I can safely say that a relic isn't one of them, now can you please gather the other students and maybe the Avengers" Ozpin said
"Sure thing sir" Ruby said as Qrow's scroll rang
"Yeah?...Okay...yes will be there" Qrow said hanging up
"Who was that?" Capt asked
"That was Lionheart, he says that he's had a breakthrough with the council, that there might be enough for a small raiding party to move in on Raven's camp and wants to meet us him at the academy two nights from now" Qrow said drinking from his flask
"Oh that's great I'll get the others
"That sounds drastically different from your original conversation does it not" Ozpin said
"It does" Qrow said
"Interesting" Capt frowned.
Lionheart looked depressed as he looked over at Raven who stood firmly as he ended the call to Qrow
"I still have questions" Raven said
"And you're not the only on here" Lionheart said
"You know, I never expected that you would be the one have the balls to turn on Ozpin. This makes me wonder what Salem has on you" Raven said
"I'm helping her for the same reason you are...I'm afraid. We can't stop her...no one can
"That's why I tried to leave when I did. I'm not afraid, I'm smart" Raven said
"Call it whatever you want, it doesn't really matter; We're here...helping her. I've crossed a line...I've done things that Ozpin will never forgive and he shouldn't! I don't know where to go from here" Lionheart said frowning
"Man up! You did what you had to do to survive, there is no shame in that" Raven said
"Who are you trying to convince?" Lionheart asked frowning as Raven left.
"This is not going well" Spidey said before he was kicking in the back, looking back he saw Yuma standing there "Oh yeah you're definitely a Dick" he said
"I'm going to enjoy this" Yuma said before a tea tray was thrown at his back, turning around to see Kali standing there with a gun in her hand, which when pointed at Yuma fired nothing
"I'm out" Kali whispered
"Bad timing" Yuma said as he stalked forward gripping his fist
"Kali!" Ghira said as he saw Yuma about to punch his wife when Yuma was flung back out the window thanks to Spidey and Sun
"You okay?" Sun asked
"Yeah" Kali said
"Get her out of there, we'll handle this" Black Panther said
"But" Ghira said
"Go, now!" T'Challa said shoulder charging Corsac making him crash into the wall, Fennec then ran up to him and tried to stab him, only for Ilia to use her whip to fling the fox Faunus into the opposite wall.
"You traitorous bitch" Fennec said firing his wind dagger at Ilia, who was guarded by Vision, who was being forced back. Suddenly a flame came at them from behind
"No" Ilia said as she realised they were now in the middle of a fire.
"The house is on fire" Spidey said
"This will not be a good sight" T'Challa said as he clapped releasing a shockwave to try and extinguish the flames, only for Corsac knock T'Challa away before throwing his dagger at Blake, which was intercepted by Sun's staff which he broke into its nunchaku mode and twirled them around to fire them at the two White Fang commanders, Fennec quickly grabbed Corsac's dagger and used them together to create a blade of fire. Blake grabbed a magazine and slipped it into her weapon switching it to gun mode and stepping out to fire some ice rounds at Fennec who melted them. Seeing Fennec was about to strike her she jumped at Fennec and used her semblance to create an ice clone before switching her weapon to sword and smacking the weapon out of Fennec hands, but what Blake didn't see was Corsac grabbing the weapon, melting the ice clone allowing Fennec to be freed and grabbing his dagger from Corsac
"That's not good" Sun said
"I thought it would have held him longer" Blake admitted
"I've got this" T'Challa said as he kicked Corsac into a broken pillar which collapsed the floor above him onto Corsac
"BROTHER!" Fennec shouted before scowling at the hero he fired bolts of flames at the group creating a firewall.
"This is bad" Spidey said
"Ghira" Kali said coughing as she had inhaled the scolding hot air.
"Hang in there Kali, I'll get us out" Ghira said looking around for a way out, but nothing was shown to give him an exit
"Ghira, I'm sorry" Kali said weakly
"It's okay Kali, I'll get you out of here" Ghira said
"Over here" a voice said softly as a portal opened "Mr Belladonna over here"
"It's better than nothing" Ghira said running through the portal, which closed once he was through. A man wearing an old looking set of robes walked over to them
"I'm Dr Stephen Strange. I'm a member of the Avengers, are you okay?" he said checking Kali
"I'll be fine my aura is healing me, but Kali inhaled hot air and I'm worried about her" Ghira said
"Okay, lay her down here. Natasha I need you to watch Mrs Belladonna while I get the team out of there" Strange said
"You got it" Black Widow said
"I'll be back in a while" Strange said as he walked off.
"We're doomed" Sun said
"I am not becoming barbecue chameleon" Ilia said
"Spider's don't like fire either" Spidey said
"What's that?" Sun asked as sparks flew around in a circle, the Avengers looked at each other
"Get ready" Black Panther said
"For what?" Sun asked
"That" Black Panther said as the portal opened, Spidey quickly flipped through while the others fell through
"Catch" Strange said as Black Panther landed fir and caught Ilia while Ghira caught Blake and gave her a fatherly nuzzling seeing she was safe. Sun was the last one to land and decided to taste the floorboards
"Ow" Sun said as Strange closed the gate "Where was my catch?"
"You're laying on it" Spidey said from the roof
"Asshole" Sun said getting up
"Never mind that, where's mum?" Blake asked
"I'm here sweetheart" Kali said walking into the room and hugging her daughter
"Where are we?" Ilia asked
"That sight, it can't be" Sun said
"You know it?" Ilia asked
"Yeah I do, I use to see that sunset back at Haven" Sun said
"Miss Belladonna" Strange said "There is something I recommend seeing outside"
"Okay" Blake said
"I'll show her the way" Spidey said
"Thank you" Blake said a she, Ilia and Sun walked outside
"So what is it?" Blake asked as she looked around, her throat closing when she saw what was waiting for her, there standing before her watching the sunset was her team. She was about to run when a mechanical arm shot across her path
"No more running" Spidey said softly
"Go on" Sun said encouraging his friend smiling
"Okay" Blake thought as she turned to her friends and hesitantly walked forward and stopped looking down. She closed her eyes and were about to run away when something softly wrapped around her. Opening her eyes she looked down to see her team leader hugging her. In that moment all of the negative feelings left her as Ruby stepped back
"Welcome back" Ruby smiled
"Thank you" Blake said as Weiss and Yang walked up to her "Yang I'm"
"Shut up" Yang said angrily before pulling her into a hug "Just shut up" she said as her eyes turned blue while tears gathered in them,
"I'm sorry" Blake said as she returned the hug to her best friend while her ears drooped
"You had me so worried" Yang said as she ended the hug and stepped back while wiping her tears. Blake chuckled softly brushing her own tears away. The two sadly smiled before Blake looked away
"I had to get away, so when T'Challa offered me a mission to clear my head and go home I took it" Blake said
"I understand, but there were so many things that I wanted to say to you but couldn't while I was dealing with the aftermath of everything that happened. But now that I know you were hurting just as much if not more, I think I can understand" Yang smiled.
"I love happy endings" Spidey said hugging Weiss.
"It's about to get happier" Weiss said as Team JNPR walked out.
"Blake?" Jaune asked making the Faunus girl turn away and see her friends there, including Pyrrha. Looking down Blake couldn't help but cry, mainly due to the fact that she was amongst her old friends and they were forgiving of her, and one friend she thought they all lost was there standing with them, standing in the doorway was Kali and Ghira, tears pooling in her mother's eyes.
"They are good friends to our daughter" Ghira said as he saw each one of them comforting her.
"Yeah they are" Kali said leaning against Ghira smiling softly
Back at Haven as night fell a cloaked figure walked towards the hidden room where the Seer Grimm was hovering. The Grimm reacted and shot a spiked tentacle at the figure, who grabbed it and drew out a chain and a dust crystal. Breaking the Dust crystal the chain became superheated allowing the figure to swing it in a wide arc to wrap around the Grimm and incinerate it. The figure walked out of the room and closed the door before turning to Lionheart
"Now it is our move, and let us hope that there will be a happy ending" he said
Lionheart stood in front of a statue while the Beacon students stood: Next Time on Remnant Avengers War of Light: A dangerous invitation
G'day Guys so this is my take on the Belladonna attack with more original content plus their exodus to Mistral, Ghira and Kali will return to their home, but Blake will remain with the team. Now onto the reunion scene, I teared up while writing this scene since I was listening to the songs Home and Wings from RWBY, such good songs but they can make you feel a bit down, but they fit so well with Blake reuniting with the team, even JNPR. So between chapters she'll get caught up to speed with everything. Plus the Seer Grimm was killed by someone who will be revealed later, but you know they are there
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
