Chapter 1: The Overlord meets with the Queen and the next phase begins
{Salem's POV}
They were in the conference room ready for the meeting, on her right was Watts and Hazel, on her left Tyrian and... an empty seat. Cinder was missing, in her place were her two minions, Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai if she remembered correctly.
The first to speak was Hazel.
-Where's Cinder?-
He asked, Mercury and Emerald looked at each other considering the question before the thief spoke.
-We... we don't know, she disappeared after the fall of Beacon.-
Silence descended upon the room, everyone was waiting for Her to speak.
-We will take care of that later, for now-
She stopped immediately when she perceived a presence, one that she hadn't felt for a long time, 'so you finally came' she wasn't the only who noticed the anomaly, in fact Hazel and Watts turned their heads toward the door too.
Step after step the air became cold and heavy, the door opened slowly revealing a figure she knew all too well.
-It's been a while Elyse.-
The Overlord spoke without emotion in his voice.
-Who do you think you are...-
The loud voice of Tyrian was stopped by her with a gesture, she slowly raised from her throne.
-Yes, it's been a long time... Creator.-
Everyone in the room turned their head towards her with different expressions, shock and curiosity on the part of Tyrian and Hazel respectively, careful consideration upon Watts, and confusion on the part of Mercury and Emerald.
-But why are you here?-
She asked.
-Two reasons: getting the simplest matter out of the way first, you can take back your Fall Maiden.-
Behind him a figure emerged from the shadows.
-Cinder!-
Emerald and Mercury cried out simultaneously.
-In my infinite mercy I healed her most serious wounds for you.-
Her skin was pale but she seemed to be okay, that was good, really good for the sake of her plans, the only thing that seemed to be hurt was her left arm that was completely bandaged.
-The second reason that I have come here is to end our alliance.-
She watched him 'what are you planning in your mad head?'.
-Now go little Fall Maiden, your mistress awaits you.-
He nudged Cinder forward slightly and, trembling, she advanced to her chair.
-Now you have to maintain your part of the deal... Give me back my Grimm.-
He spoke coldly, she clenched her teeth.
-And if I refuse?-
-Than you leave me no choice! NEMESIS!-
A fully armored knight appeared behind him.
-No, no Creator, you misunderstand... I have no intention of fighting you... that would mean my death... no all I want is to give you a new deal... leave me your Grimm and I will give you information.-
The previous deal was better than this but she needed the Grimm at all costs; he seemed to be thinking about something.
-Where is Spring?-
He asked, that was a trap, she could lie but in that case he would take back his Grimm, she has no choice and he knew that 'bastard', she thought. Salem took a deep breath 'damn'.
{Ruby's POV}
The burned village was an unexpected view for team RNJR, they walked through the burned houses and streets searching for survivors until Ren spoke.
-I found one!-
They ran towards Ren's voice, there was indeed a man that was still alive. Unfortunately not for long, it seemed.
-What happened?-
Ruby asked.
-We were a-attacked by a group of bandits.. but the real problem started when it appeared.-
-A Grimm!-
Jaune exclaimed but the man shook his head.
-No it couldn't have been a Grimm look at the bodies.-
Whispered Ren, she looked at the dead people 'too clean for a Grimm'.
-The Demon Knight!-
The man spoke again, they looked at him again.
-Appeared from the forest leaving nothing alive...-
he began coughing, blood speckling in with the spit.
-Killed anyone who was left, slaughtered...-
In that instant something descended on his head killing him, they all looked up. On the roof of a palace a figure stood, they prepared their weapons, it was unarmed since it launched its weapon at the mans head, but with a simple movement of its hand the weapon flew back into the hands of the armored knight; its weapon was a giant crimson halberd but the thing that shocked the new formed team was the aura around the figure, the dark miasma, the Grimm King's miasma.
It jumped down on the street.
-Target acquired, silver eyed one, all other combatants are to be eliminated.-
A female voice came out from the helmet of the knight, distorted by the helmet. To Ruby that voice sounded like she had heard it before but at the moment such considerations were unimportant, her instincts told her to flee because it was an enemy that could not be defeated for now; it advanced toward them.
-Jaune, Ren, Nora get ready to run.-
-Resistance is useless, I have been entrusted with a large quantity of power by the Supreme One.-
Its weapon transformed into a firearm but even Ruby didn't knew that type of weapon. The grip extended to the muzzle and the blades of the halberd seemed to become a large bipod. The bolt assembly was massive, seeming like the bolt handle could be used as a weapon on its own. The trigger was held on a pistol grip, presumably because the stock was too thick to actually wrap a hand around. Theorizing from past experience, it was going to be quite formidable.
-We have to spread out!-
She spoke but.
-Too slow!-
It shouted, the giant bullet flew towards them and exploded releasing a sea of flames, she felt her aura decrease at an unbelievable rate.
Someone placed a hand on her shoulder, without the time to turn herself she was immobilized on the ground her precious Crescent Rose flying away through the flames.
-Now you will come with me... ahahah having success where so many have failed, Master will praise me!-
The voice happily rang out.
-I.. I will not permit this!-
'That voice... Jaune!' she thought, he was in front of them raising his sword.
-Oh how interesting, you haven't run out of aura, you need a lot of that to resist my dear Karma Punishment, you know? Speak your name brave knight, before I cut you down!-
She said in a warm tone like she was talking to a friend.
-I'm Jaune, Jaune Arc!-
In that moment, while the knight was distracted, she tried to free herself with all her might and incredibly it worked, for she had seemed to have lost her concentration.
-EVERYONE, RUN!-
They start to flee as fast as they could.
{Nemesis' POV}
'Jaune...' a single tear descended from her eyes, but when she realized what happened a ball of rage exploded inside her 'what was I thinking? I could finally show that I'm more useful than those two to the Master, damnit! DAMNIT!'.
A.N. That's all for now, Nemesis' arsenal is here! A giant halberd that can be transformed in a T-gewehr (German WWI anti tank rifle) called Karma Punisment because after all Nemesis is the name of the karma's goddess.
B.N. I added a more comprehensive description of the weapon for those of you not familiar with it. It is not a 1:1 T-gewehr. It's based on an idea I've had floating around for a while about a weapon someone in RWBY could wield.
