A Home Coming Chapter 13: Reminiscence

Log Entry 1-0-13: Too anyone who has found or received these Log Entries. Please send this to either of these two people known as Coco Adel or Neapolitan. These two people are extremely dear to me so please deliver this disk along with the items that are with the disk. Anyways. Coco if you are reading these logs, I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise about staying with you. But you've managed to help me become something that I never felt before. I felt emotion and humanity. And I wish I could have been able to repay everything you have done. Thank you for believing in me. I love you. Hopefully, the items that were with this disk were also delivered, if so, keep the sword, you earned it. And finally, please take care of my sister, she has no where else to go and I trust you the most to look out for her, Thank you Coco, For everything. And Neo, if your reading this. I wish I could have spent more time with you. It's honestly heart warming to know that there is someone who actually knows who I really was or am. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you when I was taken by Project Freelancer and I only wish could ever make it up for the horrible things I've done. And if the items were with the disk, take the necklace back, I guess it's the best way to remember me. And Thank you for having faith in me sis. A good friend told me once, never say goodbye, if you don't say goodbye, it really just means you aren't there right now. So please, promise me that you and Coco remember me for who I am, not for what I did. And if anyone finds the soldiers known as Gyro, Locus, Nuri, and Yupia. Tell them it was an honor to fight aside with them. Tell them I am sorry for not being able to finish the fight I swore to. This isn't a farewell, but more of I'll find our way back. -Agent 26, Sky.

(Location: Team CFVY Dorm Room)

Coco was still in her dorm along side the unconscious Mute Freelancer. She didn't say much as the A.I. Fragments were all trying to comfort her.

"Come one kid, he's going to be fine." Epsilon groans.

"Church can you not be a complete asshole for a few minutes." Beta says as she glares at the memory fragment.

"I think it is wise for both of you to stop arguing and let Miss Adel think." Delta comments.

Both Beta and Epsilon shut up from Delta's comment.

"Miss Adel, I think it is best that you go get some air, we will contact you immediately once he wakes up." Delta informs.

Coco hesitantly looks at the Fragment of Logic.

"We promise." Theta says as he appears in front of Coco.

"A-alright, fine.." Coco says quietly.

Coco takes her modified sunglasses from the nearby nightstand. She puts them on and heads for the door. Once she opens the door, she looks back at 26 before leaving for the Coliseum, hoping that then next fight would clear her mind. After 19 minutes passes by, she manages to reach the Coliseum in time before the next fight between Pyrrha and Penny. She manages to find seats next to Teams SSSN and JNPR. She was immediately greeted by Sun.

"Hey Coco, how is he?" Sun asks.

"He's...he's still unconscious. I came out here to just try and take my mind off it." Coco says as she takes her seat.

"For whatever it's worth, we hope he'll recover soon." Ren says.

"Thanks guys, it means a lot." Coco says as she has a small reassuring smile.

Sun gives a smile and a thumbs up. The match between Pyrrha and Penny was about to start.

(Location: Vytal Festival Coliseum Maintenance Hallway)

Both Gyro and Mercury were both having a standoff in the hallway. Gyro had just distracted Mercury for Ruby to run for help or to stop the Blue and Red solider they saw with Mercury.

"Kid, what do you think your doing? Working with those people is a big mistake. What's your game plan?" Gyro says with hostility.

Mercury doesn't respond to Gyro as he still had a smug grin. Gyro stepped to her right only for Mercury to do the same, blocking her path.

"Alright, I guess we're going to play this game." Gyro says as her body glows a bit brighter.

Both Gyro and Mercury heard Oobleck yell begin. The fight between Pyrrha and Penny has just started as they heard blades collide.

"Show time." Mercury says smugly.

Mercury quickly dashes for the Pilot, shooting a dust round from his boot. Gyro easily sidesteps and avoids the shot, when she looked up, she saw Mercury a few feet away from her. Without time to react, Mercury quickly spins and kicks Gyro on her chest, sending her flying backwards and landing on her back. Gyro knew she could not fight Mercury without full energy. She then decided to take her scroll out only for it to be shot out of her hand by Mercury.

"Fucking really?!" Gyro says with annoyance.

"Let's just keep this between us." Mercury says.

Gyro then tried to use her helmet radio, only to hear static instead. Her radio was being jammed by someone or something.

"Fucking great..." Gyro says as she rolls out of the way from another kick.

Mercury rushes Gyro with a flurry of kicks. Gyro is able to successfully dodge Mercury's blows, and seeing an exit, manages to bypass Mercury and sprints for the exit hoping to find anyone with security. Once she reaches the exit. She found Ruby on her knees.

"Ruby what's!-" Gyro says as she then looks in the middle of the arena.

Gyro saw Penny in pieces and Pyrrha in shock standing in front of the destroyed Penny, revealing that she was a robot. Gyro had a look of horror under her helmet as she saw Ruby crying. Mercury then walked through the door Gyro exited from and smirked as he ran away.

"Broadcast, what are you doing?" Oobleck says through an earpiece. "Kill the feed!"

"Something's wrong! We don't have control over the cameras! We can't even stop the broadcast!" The broadcast operator says through the radio earpiece.

"What? How is that possible!" Oobleck says.

On all the monitors in the coliseum, a black queen chess piece with a red background appears.

"This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust. Your safety. Your children. To men who claim to be out guardians. But are, in reality...nothing more than men." Cinder broadcasts through her scroll.

"Son of a bitch..." Gyro says as she then places her index and middle finger on her helmet radio to try and make contact. "Locus! Locus can you read me?!"

There was static but Locus was able to transmit.

"I hear you Gyro, what the hell is going on!?" Locus says though the radio.

"I don't know, but the Blues and Reds are here at Beacon! Get what ever gun you can find and be ready, I spotted only two soldiers in the coliseum with explosives. There has to be more!" Gyro says.

"Affirmative, I'm already with Weiss and Blake, we'll secure the weapons, then we'll see what we can do, Locus out!" Locus says as he cuts his side of the transmission.

"Our academies' headmasters wield more power than most armies. And one was audacious enough to control both. They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army, mercilessly torn apart by another star pupil. What need would Atlas have got a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference." Cinder broadcasts.

Gyro then immediately heard another transmission though her radio.

"Gyro, this is Epsilon! We have identified who is broadcasting." Epsilon says through the radio.

"Lay it on me Epsion!" Gyro says.

"Voice recognition identifies the broadcaster as Cinder Fall, she's one of the students here. 26 has managed to regain consciousness and we have already contacted Coco about his return. He's just recovering at the moment, but we still also need time to pin point Cinder's location!" Epsilon explains through the radio.

"Got it, keep me updated, I'll see what I can do at the coliseum, and be careful, I've spotted Blue and Red Troopers here. Gyro out." Gyro says as she cuts her transmission.

"And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First an attempt in murder, and now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy. Yet I have witnessed neither. Perhaps Ozpin as though defeating Atlas in the tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets. Or perhaps, this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unsuspecting kingdom with armed forces. Honestly? I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong. But I know the existence of peace is fragile. And the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves. As someone who hails from mistral, I can assure you; the situation there is...equally undesirable." Cinder Broadcasts.

Outside of Vale, two Atlas guards were listening to Cinder's broadcast, unaware of the Grimm that were closing in. Before they notice the Grimm, several beams of orange energy pierce there bodies, disintegrating them both as there bodies hit the ground. Several Blue and Red Troopers de-cloak themselves as they use there helmet radios.

"Sir, we have neutralized the last of Vale's outer defenses." One of the Red soldiers says through the radio.

"Good, now go have fun, break some shit." Temple says through the radio.

"Yes sir!" A blue soldier says as he motions the team to move out.

"And remember, don't kill the Freelancer, I want him alive, contact me when he's incapacitated." Temple says as he ends his transmission.

The team of Blue and Red soldiers recloak and disappear as a large horde of Grimm start to invade.

"Our kingdoms are at the brink of war. Yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark. So I ask you...when the first shots are fired...who do you think you can trust." Cinder broadcasts from on top of a building.

Cinder ends her broadcast and then calls another individual.

"Congratulations Temple, you now can begin your invasion." Cinder says through her scroll.

"About fucking time." Temple says as he ends his transmission with Cinder.

Back in the Coliseum, the red monitors turn into static.

"The feeds are all jammed!" Oobleck says to port. "We can't get a message out!"

"Will somebody tell me what in the world is happening?!" Port says angrily.

Sirens were now blasting into the coliseum, signaling something.

"Alert! Incoming Grimm attack! Threat level nine! Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner!" The announcer says through the intercoms.

Crowds of people were starting to panic as the ran to the nearest exit. Ironwood then walked into the office that Port and Oobleck were announcing from and takes the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please! There is no need for panic!" Ironwood announces.

While ironwood was announcing, a large nevermore was on top of the coliseum shield as it screeches and attempts to break its way through.

"A nevermore?!" Sun says as he gets up from his seats.

"How'd it get past the kingdom's defenses?" Coco asks as she zooms her sunglasses at the Nevermore.

"It wasn't alone." Ren says.

Back with Ozpin in his office, he was looking out of the window as ships that he's never seen before start to appear in the sky.

"Oz!" Qrow says as he and Glynda run into the office.

"Get to the city!" Ozpin says to Glynda and Qrow.

"But-" Qrow says as he was cut off.

"NOW!" Ozpin yells.

Both Glynda and Qrow look at each other before they run for the elevator. Ozpin the hears a radio transmission from his desk.

"Ozpin, the girl...I-I can explain!" Ironwood says in panic.

"You brought your army to my kingdom James." Ozpin says. "Use it."

As ships of unknown origin appear, Ironwoods fleet was already being attacked by Nevermores. Inside one of the ships, one of the captains was speaking to the rest of Ironwoods fleet.

"This is Blue four. Blue's two and three, fall into defensive positions!" The Atlas ship captain says through a radio.

"Roger! Blue three in position but we're taking heavy fire from those unknown ships!" The Blue Three captain says through the radio.

"Blue two, what's your status!" The Atlas captain says through the radio.

In the ship designated as Blue Two, bodies were on the ground, sparks were flying in the cockpit.

"Blue two, come in!" The Atlas Captain says through the radio.

Neo walks though the cockpit with her umbrella over her shoulder and a cane and hat in one hand and a energy sword hilt in her other hand.

"Someone answer me damnit!" The Atlas Captain says in frustration through the radio.

Neo walks through the brig as she stops in front of one cell. She presses a button on the cell as the door hisses and opens up to reveal Roman Torchwick.

"Well." Roman says as he takes his cane and hat from Neo. "It's about time."

Both Neo and Roman heard banging against the cell next to Romans.

"Can you please hurry the fuck up and open the god damn cell! It smells like shit in here!" Someone says.

Neo looks at Roman, waiting for him to say what to do. Roman only sighs as he gives her an answer.

"Open it up." Roman says has he places his hat on his head.

Neo walks over to the next cell and presses the release button. The door hisses as it opens to reveal a Aqua? Turquoise? Sea foam? Whatever colored soldier with a blue visor.

"Damn about time! I was having a hard time on my own if you get what I mean. Boom-Chicka-Wah-Wah." The aqua colored soldier says quickly.

Neo rolls her eyes in annoyance as she tosses the hilt of the energy sword in front of the soldier. She walks away from the solider.

"Aww come one babe I was just playing around!" The aqua colored solider says as he takes the hilt.

"Bucky will you shut up!" Roman says in annoyance as he follows Neo to the cockpit.

"Geez tough crowd." Bucky says as he ignites the Energy sword. "This shit is still badass."

Bucky then deactivates the sword and follows Roman and Neo. Once the three of them reach the cockpit, Roman immediately starts pressing buttons. Bucky then uses his radio to contact Temple.

"Yooo, Temple, I must say, that assistant of Roman's is F-I-N-E." Bucky says through the radio but only recives silence. "Its spells fine."

"I know how to fucking spell dipshit, you also realize that your hitting on someone who 20 years younger than you." Temple says as through the radio.

"Oh..." Bucky says with a slight bit of disappointment.

Bucky then received a kick to the balls by Neo as she huffs in annoyance.

"Anyways, just stay out for now, I'll contact you once Loco sends out the paladins and Mantis's." Temple says as he cuts his side of the radio.

While Bucky and Temple were on the radio, Roman was pressing buttons on a console. He managed to somehow fire the ships cannon at one of Ironwood's ships. The shot made contact, forcing one of the ships to lose control and crash into the other ship.

"Oh it feels good to be back!" Roman says with enthusiasm.

Neo looked at Roman. She wasn't sure how to feel. She mostly felt sad due to her actions that caused her brother to become unconscious. But she was obligated to Roman because he looked after her after her parents were executed. She just didn't know what to do.

(Location: Beacon Dorm hallways)

Yang was running through the hallways with her father's dog, Zwei. She had just heard the Grimm invasion alarms outside. While running, Yang has managed to spot 26, leaning his right arm against the wall for support. She didn't like what she saw. Yang saw a bit of purple blood drip down onto the floor. She looked back up to the Freelancer to seen his exposed purple eye glowing, the cracks that were along the side of his head were slightly growing. He struggled to even stand properly or even walk as he held his left hand against the side of his helmet.

"26 are you okay?!" Yang says as she runs up to the Freelancer.

26 just looked at her. He knew what was causing the problem, he just didn't want to worry anyone.

"I'm fine, I'm just a bit shaken from the shock earlier." 26'a hologram projected as he tried to walk, but only to fall onto his knee.

"Okay that's it." Beta says as she appears next to Yang. "Yang he's not okay! I don't know why he does this! He always has to hide things from people who are trying to help him!"

"What's wrong then?!" Yang asks the Fragment of failure.

"Yang he's been dying from radiation for the last few years. That shock he had just taken only made his condition worse." Beta explains.

Yang had a look of shock. She looked at Beta, then back at 26 as he looked back at Yang. She saw the cracks on the side of his head ooze some purple liquid slightly.

"We don't have much time left, but we need to regroup with everyone, 26 can recover in a bit, just give us a few minutes." Beta says.

Yang nods as she slings 26's left arm around her shoulder, helping him walk.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Yang asks as she looks at 26.

26 glances at her, she could only see his visor and not his exposed eye.

"Because there's nothing that can be done about it." 26's hologram projects.

"But we could have tried to do something, you've said it yourself, its better to do something than doing nothing." Yang says with sympathy.

"I'm prepared to face death. Yang, I've spent years finding a cure, and only found nothing. There's nothing anyone can do." 26's hologram displays.

Yang was about to retort but her scroll started to ring. She lets 26 lean on a nearby window. Yang then takes her scroll out of her pocket and sees that Blake was calling her. She quickly answers the call.

"Yang, are you okay?" Blake asks in worry. There were roars, screams, and gunshots in the background.

"I'm fine. Me and 26 are still in Beacon. Is Ruby with you?" Yang asks with worry for her younger sister. "She or Gyro are not answering there scrolls."

"No, we haven't heard from them." Blake says as Locus speak up.

"Gyro and Ruby are fine! There still at the coliseum!" Locus yells as gunshots are heard from Blake's side of the call.

"Yang I'm sure there fine. Ruby is our leader, she can take care of herself and Gyro." Blake says as she tries to comfort the blonde brawler.

"Right." Yang says as she clenches her fist.

26 quickly nudges Yang. She quickly looks at the Freelancer. 26 was pointing out the window to show her what he was seeing. Ships were landing at the landing bay dropping off Grimm, White Fang members, and Blue and Red troopers. 26 spawned his BR85 Battle Rifle.

"This can't be happening..." Weiss says with sadness. "Penny..."

Both Yang and 26 glance at each other as they heard Weiss's comment. Both of them didn't know what was happening at the coliseum but they didn't like it one bit. Both of them nodded as they had a plan.

"Me and 26 are going to head to the docks near the courtyard. The White Fang and The Blues and Reds are releasing Grimm into the school!" Yang explains.

"What?!" Locus says next to Blake.

"The White Fang is here?!" Blake says with a bit of anger.

26 quickly pushes Yang to the side as beams of orange projectiles and beams were flying towards there direction. 26 quickly returns fire with his battle rifle, killing Blue and Red soldiers with each burst.

"Yang! 26!" Blake says in shock.

"We got go! Blue and Red troops found us! Be careful!" Yang says as she hangs up.

Both Yang and 26 start to move through the halls, taking cover from each window they passed by.

"Yang! Watch your six!" Epsilon yells through 26's helmet.

Yang immediately rolls to the side as she dodges a scattershot blast from a Red solider. She quickly activates her Ember Celica as she uses the shotgun blast from her own weapon to knock the Red solider to the ground. 26 immediately raised his battle rifle and fires one burst to the Red soldiers head, killing him immediately. Once the Red solider was dead, Yang immediately shot a glare to the Freelancer.

"Why did you kill him?!" Yang says.

"Yang, if we don't kill the assholes who have been targeting us for years, then we die! And the people you know and we know die!" Epsilon says strictly.

"But that's wrong!" Yang shouts.

"We have to do what it takes to ensure the safety of the people we care about. If we didn't kill him, he would have come back later to try and kill us again." Epsilon yells back.

"ENOUGH!! Let's just get focused on the objective, and Yang, I can promise not I kill anyone, but the Blues and Reds are going to die, wether you like it or not. I made a promise to avenge my friends, and I won't let anyone stop me." 26's hologram projected as he reloads his battle rifle and walks down the hallway.

Yang just slightly growls as she follows the Freelancer.

(Location: Vytal Festival Fairgrounds)

Blake, Weiss, and Locus has just finished there call with Yang and 26. Grimm were invading and civilians were trying to make there escape. Blake had a saddened look on her face as she lowered her scroll.

"What are we going to do?" Weiss asks both Locus and Blake.

Blake and Locus glance at each other. They both slightly nod at each other knowing what there objective is.

"We're going to the docks, and were doing our jobs." Blake says as she uses her scroll.

With only a few button pressed by Blake on her scroll, her rocket propelled locker lands a few feet behind the group of three. The locker opens to reveal Gambol Shroud. Locus then unholsters his shotgun from his back, cocking it and ejecting an empty shell. Weiss looks at the Ex-Mercenary and her Faunus teammate. She nods as she uses her scroll to call down her own rocket propelled locker. It lands next to Blake's and opens to reveal Myrtenaster. When Blake and Weiss ran forward to grab there weapons. Two large Beowolves jump on top of there lockers and roar towards Weiss and Blake. Locus quickly takes aim and fires a shotgun shot at one Beowolf, killing it immediately. The second Beowolf then takes the opportunity to jump at Locus as he cocks his shotgun. Locus rolls to the side as he grabs his Energy sword hilt, igniting it and decapitates the Beowolf. Locus disables his energy sword and puts it back on his waist.

"Let's get a move on, the pelican of weapons and supplies are at the docks, if we can reach them, maybe we might have a better chance." Locus says.

Both Blake and Weiss nod as they grab there weapons. The group of three reload and ready there weapons for the fight ahead to reach the docks.

(Location: Vytal Festival Coliseum)

Back at the Coliseum, a Large Nevermore screeches as it continues to try and break through the shield. Ruby was still in shock as she had just witnessed me of her friend death take place in front of her eyes. Gyro was busy trying to make Ruby snap out of her thoughts as the Nevermore continues its attempt to break through the coliseum shield. Pyrrha was also in shock as she stood up and just stared at the dismembered Penny.

"Pyrrha!!" Jaune shouts from the the spectator seats. "Pyrrha! That things going to break in! You've go to move!!"

As the Nevermore was flying around the coliseum, a loud explosion erupted from the maintenance hallway.

"What was that?!" Nora yells.

The shield for the Coliseum now starts to falter as it fails due to the explosion. The Blue and Red Troopers that Gyro and Ruby saw earlier had just detonated the explosives they had planted to disable the coliseum's shield. Once the shield has completely disappeared, the Nevermore then swoops into the coliseum. Jaune quickly leaps into the arena from the spectator stands as he tries to help his close friend.

"Jaune!" Nora yells as she and Ren were still at the stands.

Jaune sprints towards Pyrrha as the Nevermore closed the distance.

"Pyrrha please snap out of it!!" Jaune yells as he tries to snap Pyrrha out of her shock.

The Nevermore lands in the arena. The shockwave of the landing sends Jaune and Pyrrha backwards. The Nevermore screeches again as it charges Pyrrha. Only to be stabbed and forced back by Ruby and Gyro. Ruby had one of Penny's swords in her hand as she pulled the blade out of the Nevermore and jumps in front of Pyrrha. Gyro had some new type of weapon in her hand as she used it to force the Nevermore to back away by hitting it in its chest. She lands on her new weapon as she flys on it like a hoverboard. She then lands next to Ruby. Gyro's hoverboard was black, Cyan, white, and purple. It had a symbol of two 'E's that were back to back, one was black and the other was white. Her hoverboard quickly flashes to a shape of a gear with two purple gems on it. It was now some sort of shield as she faces it at the Nevermore.

"Ruby? Gyro?" Pyrrha says as she slightly snaps out of her shock.

Both Ruby and Gyro take defensive stances. Ruby points Penny's sword at the Nevermore as Gyro uses her Hoverboard's defense mode and points the shield at the Nevermore.

"Leave Her Alone!" Both Ruby and Gyro say in unison.

The Nevermore screeches again as it takes flight, circling the inside of coliseum. It then dives close to the ground as it starts to fly straight towards Pyrrha, Ruby, and Gyro. As the Nevermore closes the distance fast, rocket propelled lockers land on the Nevermore, slowly grounding the large Grimm bird. The Nevermore finally slides on the ground as it stops in front of the group of three. All the lockers open up to reveal weapons of other students. The large group of students grab there weapons on top of the downed Nevermore. Ruby and Gyro look at al the students as the ready themselves. The moment didn't last long as the Nevermore screeches as it starts to recover from its injuries.

Ren uses his stormflower's blades to slash at The Nevermore's eye while Arslan Atlan, leader of Team ABRM, uses her rope dart to pick up Yatsuhashi in a swing. Sage from Team SSSN jumps high into the air while Nora simultaneously uses Magnhild to slam the Nevermore's head into the ground. As Arslan reaches high into the air with Yatsuhashi, she lets go of Yatsuhashi before Sage reaches the same hight. Both Yatsuhashi and Sage perform a spinning slash attack with there greatswords as they descend and decapitate the Nevermore. The Nevermore's head and body starts to fade as it touches the ground. Both Ruby and Gyro look at the group of huntsman and huntresses in training, then they look at Pyrrha.

"Ruby I-." Pyrrha says with sadness as she had tears in her eyes. She also looked down at a piece of Penny she had in her hand. "I'm so sorry."

"Me too." Ruby says as she closes her eyes.

"Pyrrha it's not your fault." Gyro says as she kneels in front of Pyrrha.

"There right." Jaune says as he holds Miló and Akoúō. He walks to Pyrrha and hands her weapons to her. "Whoever was on the microphone, they're the ones that did this. And we have to make sure they don't take anyone else."

Pyrrha takes Miló and Akoúō into her hands. Both Jaune and Pyrrha look at each other. They were determined to not let anyone else be harmed.

"Good then." Gyro says as she turns her shield back into her Hoverboard. "Because that person in the mic was Cinder Fall. Epsilon says he's still tracking her position as we speak. But for now, we all do what we were born to do. We fight. We protect the innocent. And we don't let anyone else take the fall!"

Gyro looked at Pyrrha, Jaune, and Ruby, they all nodded at looked at the large group of huntsmen and huntresses in training, all of there weapons were deployed and ready for the big fight ahead. Soon they all heard noises on top of the coliseum, they all looks up to see Griffons land at the top. Every starts to ready there weapons as the Griffons jump off the coliseum and fly to the large group.

"Anyone got a plan of attack?" Neptune asks as he raises his rifle.

"Sun! I need your scroll." Ruby asks the monkey Faunus.

Sun smiles as he tosses his scroll to Ruby with his tail. Ruby catches the scroll and calls down her rocket propelled locker. The locker lands and opens to reveal her Crescent Rose. As Ruby runs up to grab her Crescent Rose, a Griffon lands on top of the locker and roars at Ruby. A gunshot is heard as the Griffon quickly flies away. Ruby and the group turns to see Professor Port and Doctor Oobleck with there weapons in hand.

"Students, I think it would be best for you to leave." Port says as he lowers his blunderbuss.

"But we can fi-" Ruby says a she is cut off.

"Miss Rose." Oobleck says quickly. "This day will surely go down in Remnant's History. I'd prefer it if my students could live to tell about it."

Ruby only smiles and nods. She grabs Crescent Rose from her locker and quickly transforms it into her scythe.

"Let's go!" Ruby says.

The group of students start to make there way to the exit. Velvet quickly snaps a picture of Ruby and Gyro with there weapons out.

"Velvet!" Coco yells from a distance.

Velvet and Ruby start to run off. Gyro was still at the coliseum. She looks back at the two teachers.

"Good luck." Gyro says as she throws her hoverboard in front of her and jumps onto it as she flies to the group.

As the group of students and Gyro make there exit Port and Oobleck prepare themselves for there next fight. Port starts to laugh.

"One final match Barty! Place your bets!" Port announces as Griffons start to fly around the two teachers.

As the group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in training finally make there way to the Coliseum docks, they see a bunch of civilians being evacuated via ships provided by Ironwood. They had also just witnessed Ironwood's small battle against a few Beowolves. They all ran up to the General.

"What's the sitrep Ironwood?" Gyro asks as she jumps off her hoverboard.

"Grimm are crawling all over the city. The White Fang and The Blues and Reds are invading Beacon and to make matters worse a couple-A vagabond and his partner has seized one of my ships. Until we regain command, the skies are out of our control. So I'm-" Ironwood says as he is cut off.

A Creep quickly gets the jump on the students. As Ironwood raised his revolver at the Creep, Gyro's hoverboard quickly flashes into a large white lance with two large yellow gems on it, Gyro quickly spins around as she impale the Creep into the ground. As the Creep starts to fade away, Gyro's lance flashes back into her hoverboard. Ironwood then lowers his revolver.

"As I was saying, I'm going to take back my ship." Ironwood continues as he turns and walks to his troop ship.

"What should we do?" Jaune asks as he takes a step towards the general.

Ironwood stops and turns to face the students again.

"You have two choices. Defend your kingdom and your school...or save yourselves...No one will fault you if you leave." Ironwood says.

The group of students look at each other.

"Like hell, this is our job!" Gyro says as she readies her Hoverboard.

Ironwood slightly smiles as he turns back to his troop ship.

"Let's move out!" Ironwood says to his Atlas droids as he boards his ship.

Ironwood's ship and the rest of the evacuation ships start to take off.

"We can take a ship to Beacon." Jaune says.

"Anyone know how to fly?" Coco asks.

Gyro had a slight smirk under her helmet.

"Well, I may have not flown any of the ships here in Remnant, buuutttt I am my army's best pilot." Gyro says smugly.

"I guess we don't have much of a choice." Sun says.

"Agreed, let's move!" Ren says.

The group of students start to make there way to the nearest ship. Ruby stayed behind for a second as she watched Ironwood's ship fly away.

"Ruby!! Let's go!! We have a school and Kingdom to save!" Gyro yells.

Ruby snaps out of her thoughts.

"R-Right!" Ruby says as she runs for the nearest ship that the students went for.

(Location: Ironwood's commandeered Command ship)

Roman was looking around the command deck of Ironwood's ship. Bucky was busy playing around with his light rifle that Neo had brought with her. And Neo herself was at the far corner of the room, looking out the window and witnessing the chaos that she helped cause. Roman has started to walk up to a console.

"Hmm, let's see. What does this button do?" Roman says as he presses a button.

The sound of a explosion occurs as the ship slightly rumbles. Bucky has caught interest in what Roman was doing.

"Oh fun!" Roman says with excitement.

"Ohh, let me try!" Bucky says as he holsters his light rifle on his back and presses a button.

As Bucky presses the Button, both Bucky and Roman tilted there heads towards the far side of the ship, listening if anything was happening. They heard nothing, but in the cargo hold, a bunch of Atlas droids were standing as a alarm goes off. A couple of droids look At each other as the hangar door flies open, launching the droids out of the ship.

"Well that fucking sucked." Bucky says with disappointment.

Neo had just thrown a black scroll. It hits Bucky in the back of the head. He turns around quickly at Neo as she still looked out the window. Roman only picked up the scroll.

"Now, this one, this ones gonna be fun!" Roman says as he places the scroll in a slot at the console.

As the scroll was placed in the slot. The black queen piece flickers on the scroll's screen. Then all of the command room's holograms and controls turn from Blue to Red.

"Ehh. Personally, I'm a fan of blue instead of red." Bucky says as Roman hits him in the back of the helmet. "OW WHAT THE FUCK?!"

(Location: Vale streets)

In the streets of Vale, Glynda was fighting off Grimm along with a small squad of Atlas Droids. The droids were firing there rifles at a small horde of Grimm while Glynda held off a couple of Grimm on her own. As a Beowolf leaped towards Glynda, Qrow dashes into the air and stabs the Beowolf into the ground. Both of them nod at each other as they were about to assist the Atlas droids. As the droids were firing, there visors start to turn red. The droids stop firing at the Grimm and turn around as they raise there rifles towards Qrow and Glynda.

"What?!" Glynda says as she and Qrow prepare themselves.

(Location: Beacon Courtyard)

Back in Beacon's Courtyard, Weiss, Blake, and Locus had just arrived. Atlas Droids had just cleared an area full of Grimm and were just in a firefight with a small squad of Blue and Red Troopers. Suddenly the Atlas droids had stopped firing and lowered there rifles. The Blue squad leader raises his fist to signal his troops to stop firing. The Droid's visors turned red and turned towards Weiss, Blake, and Locus and raised there rifles.

"GET TO COVER!" Locus yells as he shoves Weiss and Blake towards a fallen pillar.

Weiss and Blake fall behind the pillar. Locus takes a shot to his shoulder as he tries to take cover behind the pillar too.

"Damn it!" Locus hisses as he dropped his shotgun and held his left shoulder.

The sound of metallic footsteps draw closer. Weiss and Blake draw there weapons as they began to be surrounded by the Atlas Droids. The Blue and Red squad at the time had there weapons raised until there squad leader spoke up.

"Leave them! Let's find and destroy that Pelican! Temple's orders!" The blue squad leader says.

The squad of Blue and Reds nod as the fall back in search of the Pelican Locus stole a few days ago.

"What do we do?" Weiss asks as she looks at Locus.

"We fight them off, so far we're outnumbered but we need to buy everyone else some time." Locus says as he takes his grenade launcher from his back and holds his energy sword hilt.

Weiss and Blake nod as they start there assault against the Atlas droids.

(Location: A ship headed for Beacon)

Gyro was flying a abandoned Civilian Evan transport full of the students she was with. She learned very quickly on how to fly the ship. But one thing bothered her then most.

"THIS SHIP IS SO SLOW!" Gyro complains as she slumps down in the pilot seat.

"It's a civilian transport ship." Ren says flatly.

"I know but still, for an evac transport, you can barely escape in these things." Gyro says as she looks behind her.

"It's not that-" Neptune says but is cut off.

"YES IT IS!" Gyro says quickly as she points at Neptune. "I swear if I had a Pelican we could have been there 3 minutes ago."

"Knowing you, it would be a terrible flight." Coco says flatly.

"Heh, well I hope you guys aren't motion sick." Gyro says as she chuckles. "Because when this is over, I'm definitely going to show you guys what a real Pilot is all about."

"Uh guys..." Jaune says grabbing everyone's attention. "Look."

Jaune was pointing out the window. Everyone looked at what Jaune was pointing at to only see The ship Ironwood was on fly by in flames and with the sound of gunshots as the ship flew by.

"Holy shit..." Gyro says quietly.

Ruby started to back up from the window, she then started to run towards the back of the ship. Sun was the first to notice this.

"Ruby! What are you doing?!" Sun yells out.

Ruby didn't respond as she ran out the door towards the ships exit. She opened the small hangar door and jumps off of the ship. She free falls for a couple of seconds before using her semblance to fling her self onto the Coliseum dock. When she lands back on the dock, she looks back at the ship and then sprints for the inside of the coliseum. Once inside the arena, she looks to her left to see a rocket propelled locker. Ruby runs for the locker and presses a few buttons on the locker. She then unfolds Crescent Rose and attaches the blade of the scythe on top of the locker while she held on to the base of it. The locker then flies into the air in tremendous speed and heads straight for Ironwood's commandeered command ship.

Back on the ship with Gyro and the rest of the students, they were all looking out the windows in search of Ruby. They had no idea until someone spoke up.

"I see her." Coco says as she looked out from the right side of the window.

The group of students look out the window that Coco was seeing, but they saw nothing.

"Coco, are you okay?" Velvet asks.

"No, she not wrong, I see her too." Gyro says as she had her index and middle finger against the side of her helmet using her zoom function. "She quite the distance away, there's no way we can catch up to her."

"What do we do?" Scarlet asks.

"We stick to the plan, Coco, go call your boyfriend about this, he's the only one who can catch up to Ruby." Gyro says as she looks at Coco.

"What about your Hoverboard? Can't it also reach Ruby?" Reese asks.

"Can't, this thing runs off my own energy, if I fly after her now, I'll pass out halfway there." Gyro explains. "Coco get going now!"

Coco nods as she heads to the back of the ship. She takes out her scroll and calls 26. At first no one responds, she was about to put away her scroll until a familiar female A.I. Fragments responds.

"Hey C, were kinda busy right now!" Beta says as gunshots were heard in the background.

"Beta this is serious, Ruby just jumped out of the ship we're taking to Beacon, she's now flying her way on a locker to General Ironwood's stolen ship!" Coco says in a slight bit of panic. "Gyro told me he's the only one who can reach her!"

"Yeah we can reach her, but 26 and Yang are busy with dealing Grimm, White Fang, and Blue and Red troops." Beta explains, Yang is then heard in the background.

"Who are you talking to?" Yang asks Beta.

"It's Coco, she says that Ruby is flying straight for Ironwood's stolen ship." Beta explains to Yang.

"WHAT?!" Coco hears Yang yells.

"We can reach her, but you know, WERE KIND OF BUSY FIGHTING OFF THREE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF ENEMIES!!" Epsilon yells as he joins the conversation.

"Well, what do we do?" Coco asks in a bit of sadness.

"I can hold them off." Yang says. "I can buy 26 some time for him to reach my sister."

"Yang are you sure?" Coco hears Beta says to Yang.

"I'm sure, and make sure she comes back." Yang says. "And be careful, Roman and that Bucky guy are on that ship."

"Alright, I'll tell everyone else." Coco says as she hangs up.

Coco ends the call on her scroll and heads back into the ship, everyone was now looking at the fashionista.

"Sky said that he can reach Ruby." Coco briefly says.

Everyone just stares at Coco with confusion.

"What?" Coco says as she looks around at everyone.

"Who's Sky?" Nora asks.

Coco's eyes immediately widened, she forgot that no one knew 26's real name, not even Gyro. Sweat starts to drop from her head as she nervously looks around.

"I...I...uh...that's 26's...real name..." Coco says nervously as she looks away from everyone's stare.

The students just look at Coco for a second as they then look at Gyro.

"Hey don't look at me, this is new to some too." Gyro says as she lifts her hands up in a surrendering position.

"Don't take you hands of the controls!" Coco says as the ship starts to shake slightly.

"Right my bad." Gyro says quickly as she places both her hands back on the controls.

(Location: Ironwood's commandeered Command ship)

Ruby was soaring high in the air on the rocket propelled locker as it flew towards Ironwoods commandeered command ship. Once the locker flew too high, the fuel started to flatter. Ruby quickly jumps off the locker as she uses her semblance to dash towards the ship. Luckily she managed to gain enough distance to reach the ship, she landed and rolled as she drew Crescent Rose into its scythe form.

Inside the ship where Roman was messing around with one of the ships consoles, Bucky was still pressing buttons, and Neo was still looking out the window, a large thud was heard above them. The three of them look up from where the thud came from. Roman then turns to Neo and Bucky as he growls.

"You two go see what that is." Roman says in annoyance as he waves them off.

"Fine, whatever." Bucky says as he un holsters his light rifle.

Neo nods as she and Bucky left the room.

(Location: Beacon's Courtyard)

Back in Beacon's Courtyard, Weiss, Blake, and Locus were holding off waves of Atlas Droids, White Fang members, and Blue and Red soldiers.

During their counter-attack, Weiss uses her glyphs to slash through a large group of Atlas Droids while Blake fights off waves of unarmed White Fang members, using her Semblance to evade incoming attacks. Right before Blake gets pushed back by a member with dual-wielded swords and overwhelmed by another wave of White Fang members, Weiss jumps in front of her after defeating the Atlas Droids, blowing the White Fang members away. Locus however was having more difficulty, he fired his grenade launcher at an incoming warthog that the Blues and Reds had dropped off for there troops. The pipe manages to hit the warthog and flipped it. two Red troopers that were in the Warthog were killed in the blast. The last remaining Red Trooper from the warthog crawled out of the wreck of the Warthog. Locus walked up to the Red soldier and steps on his chest. Locus then aims his shotgun at the Red Solider and fires it, killing the Red Solider.

"CLEAR!" Locus says to Weiss and Blake as he reloads his Grenade Launcher.

Both Weiss and Blake nod as they all regroup.

"What now?" Weiss asks as she takes a breath.

They were all interrupted by gunshots, the three of them look to see Atlas soldiers fire there weapons at a Hijacked Paladin and Two Mantis class military assault droids. The Paladin swipes its left arm killing 3 Atlas Soldiers. While the rest of the Atlas Soldiers start to back up while firing. The two Mantis Droids start to take aim.

"ENGAGING HOSTILES." Both Mantis droids say.

Both Mantis Droids charge there rocket pods after a few seconds, both Mantis Droids fire 10 missiles at the remaining Atlas Soldiers. Killing them all.

"Come on!" Weiss says.

Weiss, Blake, and Locus start to run for the Paladin and the Two Mantis Droids. But they look up at the sound of a ship fly out of control over them. The side door of the ship breaks open as an Alpha Beowolf jumps out of the Ship as it crashes. The Alpha Beowolf lands near fleeing civilians as it starts to roar into the air. The Group of Three look at each other.

"What do we do?" Blake asks in a bit of panic.

"Calm down, Blake, you and I got take care of that Alpha, Weiss, you deal with the Paladin and The Mantis Droids." Locus says as he swaps his Grenade launcher for his shotgun.

"Uh what? How do you expect me to take those things on?!" Weiss says in annoyance.

"You don't, but your back up has arrived." Locus says as he looks up.

Both Weiss and Blake look up to see the ship that Gyro and the other students were in. They flew past the group of three towards the main avenue. Weiss then looks back at Locus and Blake.

"Be safe." Weiss says with a reassuring smile to her Faunus teammate.

Locus and Blake nod as they head for the direction the Alpha Beowolf ran too while Weiss ran off towards Gyro's ship. As Locus and Blake turned the corner from the outside of the Cafeteria, they loose sight of the Alpha. The Alpha then jumps from their right and climbs up the wall of the outside of the cafeteria. Just as Blake and Locus were about to raise their weapons towards the Alpha, a scream was heard from the inside of the cafeteria. They both look inside to see a atlas guard being impaled by a red katana by a man a tall man with red and brown hair that spikes backwards in a windswept way. While most of his hair is red, a portion of it in the back and several streaks are brown. A noticeable trait of his appearance is the mask he wears, which obscures his eyes and upper face. His Faunus heritage appears to be that of a bull, as two horns can be seen on either side of his head. Locus looked a Blake who had a look of pure shock and horror. Locus then looked back at the man and realized who he was. The leader of the white fang known as Adam Taurus. Adam looked to his left to notice Locus and Blake.

"No..." Blake says in shock. "Adam?"

"Hello My darling." Adam says smugly.

Locus looks at Blake, then at Adam, then back at Blake.

"Crazy ex-boyfriend?" Locus just asks as he raises his shotgun.

"You have no idea..." Blake quietly responds.

(Time: 7 Minutes ago)

(Location: Beacon's Forge)

With the sound of 26's Battle Rifle firing a burst shot, a Blue solider collapses dead with a broken visor. 26 reloads his Battle Rifle as he joins Yang as she had just knocked out a White Fang member. The two of them had just regrouped from there defense against the wave of White Fang and Blue and Red Forces, as well as there call with Coco.

"How exactly are you going to catch up to Ruby?" Yang asks as she reloads her Ember Celica.

26 doesn't respond to her as he de-spawns his battle rifle and then spawns his X768-Umbrella on his back. He then glances at Yang

"Right, and hey, be careful." Yang says with sincerity.

26 nods as he starts to run off. The blades on the Umbrella fly off the rod and the spare blades from his Jump-Pack also fly off, the float next to the Jump-Pack and form what looks like wings. The Umbrella and The Jump-pack glow a bright blue as he takes off.

"Seriously, these are some weird people..." Yang says to herself as she runs off in search of anyone else she knows.

(Location: Beacon Main Avenue)

Back at the main avenue, the Huntsmen and Huntresses that got away from the Colosseum have arrived at the main avenue defending the school. Jaune kills an Ursa in one strike while a Boarbatusk chases down Neon while Coco fires at a Griffon. A charging Ursa is stopped by Nora's grenade launcher while Ren shoots down a fleeing Beowolf. At the main avenue, a Death Stalker has appeared, but due to its thick armor the Atlas Soldier's rifles have no effect on it while Sage and Scarlet try to stop an Ursa. Gyro and Pyyrha were slashing at a small group of Creeps with their weapons. The Dragon Grimm that had been awoken arrives at Beacon, flying overhead and dropping its tar-like substance on the school grounds, spawning more Grimm.

"Okay, Like what the actual Fuck is that?!" Gyro says as she looks at the Dragon Grimm.

The students prepare for the next wave of Grimm, readying all there weapons. As all the group of students charge at the group of students, Team JNPR and Gyro notice Ozpin standing at the Tower Doorway. Pyyrha lowers her Weapons as she then walks to Ozpin.

"Where's she going?" Nora asks Jaune.

"I'll go find out. You three stay here and keep fighting." Jaune says as he runs after Pyyrha.

"Got it, good luck you two." Gyro says as she motions Ren and Nora to follow her.

Gyro, Ren, and Nora run off to help the students fight off the Grimm while Pyyrha and Jaune run for Ozpin's Tower.

(Location: Ironwood's commandeered Command ship)

Back on Ironwood's Commandeered Command Ship, The Grimm Dragon flies by. Ruby just stares at the Dragon Grimm in shock. Soon, a large group of Griffons fly behind the Dragon Grimm. Ruby looks up to see a Griffon attempt to dive bomb her. Ruby quickly sidesteps away from the falling Griffon as she slashes the Griffon into the air. Ruby quickly jumps and performs three tornado slashes at the same Griffon as she kicks it away and lands on the ship again. Ruby then charges at the Griffon again while the Griffon flies straight towards her, in three quick strike, Ruby manages to kill the Griffon. Ruby stumbles from being a bit tired as another Griffon attempts to fly to her. Ruby spots it and closes her eyes, bracing herself for the incoming attack. She only heard several metallic thuds and the Griffon Screaming. Ruby opens her eyes to see the Griffon impaled by several Blades. Ruby only looks up to see 26 land and perform a combat roll next to her. The blades that were on the ground and that were impaled in the fading Griffon fly back to 26's Jump-pack and Umbrella.

"Uhh...Heyyyyy 26..." Ruby says sheepishly as she nervously rubs the back of her head.

26 only glances behind Ruby. Ruby sees this and turns around to see Neo and Bucky. Neo had a scroll in her hand as she took a quick photo as her clothes changed into her usual attire. Bucky remained quiet as he glared at the Mute Freelancer. Neo quickly sends the picture to Roman.

Back inside the Command Deck of the ship. Roman received the picture of Ruby and 26 with the text saying 'There here'.

"Oh you can not be serious." Roman says with venom in his voice.

Roman quickly grabs the scroll that was in the console and quickly made his way out of the command deck.

Back on the top of the ship, Ruby was slashing at Neo with Crescent Rose , but her opponent dodges all of her attacks by using her acrobatic skills. Just as Ruby is able to line up a shot with her rifle, Neo uses her Semblance, leaving behind an illusion which shatters as the bullet hits. As the illusion fades, Roman appears and uses Melodic Cudgel to fire a round at Ruby, knocking her off her feet and nearly off the airship as well; however, she digs Crescent Rose's scythe into the airship's hull, keeping her from falling off.

26 and Bucky were also having there own fight. Bucky quickly raises his light rifle and fires 4 shots at 26. 26 manages to quickly spawn another new weapon and deflect the shots in rapid succession. It was a Black dual bladed Scythe. Each blade was on the opposite side of the staff and mirrored each other. White flames came from the opposite sides of the blade's as 26 used it to help spin the scythe in high speeds. Like the airburst greatsword, the blades of the scythe split in the middle, extending it slightly as air puffed out of the holes in the center of the extension.

"Okay, what the fuck..." Bucky says flatly.

26 only dashes at Bucky. 26 spins himself in the air as he goes for a downwards slash towards Bucky. Bucky quickly rolls out of the way as he raises his light rifle. As he raises the light rifle, he sees that it was cut in half.

"Oh come the fuck on! I just got this!" Bucky says as he was sent flying backwards from a kick 26 gave him.

26 looked behind him as he saw Roman walking up to Ruby.

"Little Red, Little Red...You are just determined to be the Hero of Vale, aren't you?" Roman says with a smirk.

"What are you doing? Without these ships, The Grimm and The Blues and Reds will destroy everything!" Ruby cries out.

"That's the plan!" Roman says.

Roman points the barrel of his Melodic Cudgel at Ruby, as he was about to fire, 26 threw his scythe as its jets on the ends of each blade help it spin. The scythe manages to hit Roman as he fires his shot. Roman missed as he stumbled. 26's Scythe spins and flies back to 26, he catches it as he faces Roman.

"And you...The silent sole survivor of the infamous Project Freelancer. Why even bother to save these people? I know what you desire, I know your anger at The Blues and Reds. It just makes things SO interesting. They've told me what you've done, and your not so innocent yourself. You have blood on your hands just like us." Roman say as he points to himself.

26 quickly runs up to Ruby and helps her up. Both of them have their weapons in hand. But before attacking, Ruby speaks up.

"But why?! What do you get out of it?!" Ruby asks as she points Crescent Rose towards Roman and Neo.

"You're asking the wrong questions Red. Its not what I have to gain. Its that I can't afford to lose!" Roman says.

"Afford to lose? You're risking your own planet by siding with The Blues and Reds!" 26's hologram projects.

"Were not worried about them, they said they would kindly leave after we turn you over to Temple." Roman says as he glares at 26.

"Listen! There dangerous either way, The Blues and Reds are known for not leaving loose ends, if you manage to turn me in! They will still kill you!" 26's hologram projects.

"And we will deal with them in time. Now are we going to fight or just stand around and talk!" Roman says as he readies Melodic Cudgel.

26 glances at Neo. She looked away while Roman was talking. Suddenly 26 saw his motion tracker flare up as he ducked under a slash. He quickly turned around to see Bucky with his Energy Sword Ignited. Both Ruby and 26 glance at each other as they start to charge at their opponents.

Ruby dashes at Roman, but he simply leans forward, allowing Neo to vault over his back and kick her away. Ruby then attempts to swing Crescent Rose around for an attack, but Neo kicks off the weapon's shaft in a front flip, before hooking the shaft in her handle and yanking it towards the ground. This causes Ruby to lose her balance, allowing Neo to slide beneath her and yank Crescent Rose from her grip. After a brief moment spent spinning helplessly in the air, Ruby is kicked in the back by Neo, propelling her towards Roman. Before she can reach him, Roman slams Melodic Cudgel's base into the ground, causing the weapon to fire and propel itself rapidly towards Ruby, hitting her full-speed in the face and soaring back into Roman's grip, after sending her shooting back the way she came. Upon regaining his weapon, Roman takes aim and hits Ruby dead-on, sending her careening towards the edge of the airship.

Meanwhile, 26 and Bucky were slashing at each other. 26 was trying to dodge every swipe that Bucky sent at him. He couldn't attempt to block at all due to the Energy sword being able to cut its way through scythe even if he tried to defend. Bucky tries to go for a stab but 26 was easily able to tilt to the side and hit Bucky's wrist with the staff of the scythe. Bucky stumbles backwards as 26 then tornado kicks Bucky against his helmet, causing him to flip and fall to the ground. 26 quickly steps back as he de-spawns his dual balded scythe for his sheathed jet sword. At least now he was able to defend himself better. Bucky recovered from 26's attack as he then goes for a downward slash. 26 only slightly draws the blade of the sword from its sheath as Bucky's Energy Sword made contact with 26's unstable Plasma blade. Sparks and electricity flew between each of the blades. 26 then sweeps Bucky's left foot, causing him to lose balance. 26 then sheathes the jet sword and manages to hit Bucky with the sheathed jet sword. Bucky flies backwards as he doesn't get up from that hit. 26 then looks back at Ruby as he sees her in trouble. Again.

"I may be a Gambling man, but even I know there's some bets you just don't take." Roman says as he looks at Neo.

Neo just just frozen from where she stands. Roman then rolls his eyes as he makes his way to Ruby.

"Like it or not, The people who hired me are going to change the world." Roman says as Ruby kicks away a Griffon. "You can't stop 'em. I can't stop 'em! You know the old saying." Roman says as he points his Melodic Cudgel at Ruby. "If you can beat 'em-"

Roman was cut off by Neo when she sweeped Roman's right leg with the handle of her Umbrella. Roman falls to the ground as he looks at his Neo. She had a look of sadness and anger in her eyes. Ruby was also shocked as she just saw Neo betray Roman.

"Neo! What are you doing!" Roman shouts angrily at Neo.

Roman rolled to the side as 26 jumped into the air and charged straight down as he used the jet on the handle of the sword. 26 then dashed right next to Neo, protecting her from Roman.

"I'm protecting my family!" Neo shouts as she startles Roman.

"Family?! I'm your family! Who helped raised you when yours were killed!" Roman shouts angrily.

"No your not! You've made me do horrible things! Things that will haunt me for the rest of my life!" Neo says as she steps in front of 26 and looks back at him. "He's the only family I have left! We will stop you! We will stop Temple from destroying our home!"

Roman froze as he looked at his former partner. He the looked at 26 who was helping Ruby climb back onto the ship. The three of them readied there weapons against Roman. Roman then had a look of anger in his eyes as Bucky ran up to Roman's side. Roman growls angrily as looks at Bucky.

"Kill them all." Roman says angrily.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Bucky says as he ignites his energy sword again.

Both Ruby and Neo start to charge at Roman while 26 used its jet sword to boost into Bucky. Roman knocks Ruby and Neo to the ground by firing a shot from Melodic Cudgel, he then spins and catches the shot with the handle of Melodic Cudgel and swiped at both of the girls. Ruby was knocked to the ground as her aura took a huge toll. Neo however was able to recover as she charged at Roman. Roman swiped upwards with Melodic Cudgel and hits Neo against her chin. He then presses the barrel of Melodic Cudgel against Neo's torso and fires another shot, causing Neo to fly backwards.

"NEO!" 26's Hologram projects as Bucky stabs 26, landing a blow against his left robotic arm.

26 quickly kicks Bucky away as he runs for his older sister. Roman sees this and swings Melodic Cudgel, hitting 26 against his helmet, causing the right remaining half of his visor to crack. 26 was send flying back next to his older sister.

"SKY!" Neo Cries out to her younger brother.

"You've got guts Neo.." Roman says with venom in his voice. "And now your going to pay the price for it.."

Roman walks up to the fallen Mute Freelancer. Roman swings Melodic Cudgel against his helmet, causing it crack again. Roman then steps on 26's left arm, casing some sparks to fly out of it from Bucky's stab.

"I've trusted you!" Roman yells out. "I raised you and protected you!"

"Protect me?! You turned me into a monster!" Neo shouts back as she crawls towards Roman.

Roman then swings Melodic Cudgel against 26's helmet again, causing the rest of the visor to shatter. 26 looks up at Roman with both of his eyes now, seeing the hatred he had for Roman now. Roman only smiles deviously as he raises Melodic Cudgel towards 26's head. Just before he pulls the trigger, a large Griffon jumps behind Roman and swallows him entirely. Neo was in shock while 26 just activated his Strength enhancement, flashing his eyes and his armor's secondary color to red. He kicks away the large griffon and deactivates the strength enhancement.

"Get Ruby! And get back to Beacon!" 26's hologram projects as he looks at Neo.

"No! I'm not leaving you again!" Neo cries out as she rushes next to her brother.

"This isn't up for discussion, Bucky is still alive, and I can buy you both some time. Find Gyro, Locus, or even Coco, they'll stand up for you. And tell them everything.." 26's hologram projects as he grabs his sheathed jet sword.

Neo just slightly nods as she runs for Ruby's aid. Ruby was still conscious as she had just witness everything. Ruby only looked at Neo as she was being helped by the sister of the Mute Freelancer.

"Don't try to move as much, your aura has really taken a toll." Neo says quietly as she tends to Ruby.

"Thank you.." Ruby only says.

Neo froze for a second as she looks at Ruby who was smiles at Neo. Neo just only smiled back as they both stood up. They looked towards 26 who was fighting Bucky.

26 was holding the sheathed jet sword in his right hand as he was overpowering Bucky. 26 no doubt was much more experienced in combat compared to Bucky. But Bucky had a few things up his sleeve. Just as 26 was about to swing the sheath diagonally, Bucky steps back and uses a modified active camouflage unit to cloak himself.

"Okay seriously, does every Blue and Red have this?!" Epsilon says to 26 mentally.

26 looked around for the Teal solider to only see nothing. Then 26 was punched back by the invisible Bucky. Bucky then swung a left hook, then a right hook before kicking 26 on his torso, causing the Mute Freelancer to stumble back a bit.

"Dammit!" 26 though to himself.

As 26 looked around some more, Epsilon decided to try something. He showed 26 memory flashes of Agent Washington's and Agent Carolina's battle against Locus and his old partner Felix. 26 saw Locus using the same tactic the Bucky was using. Just as the memory flash ended, he saw how Wash was able to outsmart Locus. 26 quickly places the sheathed jet sword on his waist as he takes out a old combat knife from its sheath. 26 takes the knife into his left hand as he places his right hand on the blade. 26 pulls the knife down as he cuts his right palm, he quickly spins to around and throws the purple blood around him. The blood manages to hit the invisible Bucky.

"What the fuck?" Bucky says a he looks at the blood on his chest.

26 only slightly waves as he flips the knife into the air slightly. He catches it by the blade as he throws the knife into Bucky's shoulder. When the knife pierces into Bucky's left shoulder, Bucky recoiled backwards as his cloak started to falter. 26 then performs a spin kick, hitting the knife and forcing it to pierce deeper into Bucky's shoulder. Bucky falls flat on his back. He the crawls backwards from the Mute Freelancer approaching him Bucky frantically looks around for anything as he notices Neo and Ruby to his left, they were retrieving Ruby's Crescent Rose. Bucky then notices that he had a Boltshot hidden in his back holster. Bucky smirked under his helmet as rolled to the side as 26 attempted to perform an axe kick to Bucky's head. The kick left a large dent. Bucky quickly unholsters the Boltshot from his back as he aimed the pistol towards Ruby and Neo. 26 quickly glanced at where he was aiming to see his sister and Ruby. His eyes widened as is eyes and armors secondary color flash into a light blue, activated the speed enhancement. 26 quickly dashes into Bucky as he fired a shot. The shot barely grazed Neo's left arm. As both Ruby and Neo turn around they see 26 just disappear from where he stood as he just reappeared next to Bucky as he tackled Bucky. But the speed 26 was going caused both him and Bucky to fly off the command ship.

"Sky!!" Neo cries out.

"Neo." Ruby says to Neo. "He'll Be Fine, he can take care of himself." Ruby says with sympathy as she pulls Crescent Rose out of the ship.

Neo only nods slightly at Ruby. Both of them ran for the ship's command deck, only to see it be hit by a very large yellow beam. The beam pierced right through the ship with ease and caused a large explosion, forcing Neo and Ruby to fall backwards. Both of them looked from where the beam came from to see one of the unknown ships facing the Command ship. It had the inscription of the word "Armada 8''

"That's uh...that's a big ship..." Ruby says nervously.

"Y-yeah it is." Neo says nervously as she looks at Ruby. "How do we get off the ship now?"

Ruby looked around there surroundings. She then came up with an idea. She grabs Neo and holds her close to Crescent Rose.

"Uh, Ruby what are you doing?" Neo asks nervously.

"Just hold on." Ruby says as she pulls Neo and herself to the edge of the Command ship.

"Hold on? Why?-" Neo says but is cut off.

Ruby jumps off the command ship as she pulls Neo with her. The both of them were forced to free fall for a couple of seconds. Ruby then flips her Crescent Rose, facing the end of the barrel towards the ground. Neo holds on tight as Ruby starts to fire shots to decrease the speed of there fall. After a few short minutes, the both of them finally land on a building outside of Beacon. Ruby looks to her left to see Neo panting heavily near the ground as she held her chest.

"Never...Again..." Neo pants as she slowly gets up from the ground.

"Aw wheres the fun in that?" Ruby says playfully.

Neo just stares at Ruby. After a couple of more seconds pass by as Neo composes herself. As they look up, they see Ironwoods Commandship take another few shots from The ship with the inscription 'Armada 8'. The both of them then start to head to Beacon in search of Ruby's friends and hopefully 26.

(Location: Beacon Main Avenue)

Back at Beacon main avenue the students eventually decrease the numbers of the Grimm and Atlas droids, but the Atlesian Paladin and the Mantis Androids remain standing, which easily knock out a large part of the students. While Reese and Neon had frozen the legs of the Atlesian Paladin and A Mantis Android, Weiss joins the group by slashing at the Paladin and the Mantis.

"Weiss!" Neptune calls out.

"About time you showed up!" Gyro says as she slashes down a Atlas Droid with her Hoverboard's Attack mode.

Yatsuhashi had just tried to block a punch from the Paladin, but was unfortunately pushed back. The Paladin turns around to face Ren while one of the Mantis Androids walks off to chase Neon and Reese.

"Look Out!" Nora yells out to Ren.

Nora shoves Ren out of the way from a swing from the Paladin, allowing her self to take the hit instead.

"Nora! No!" Ren says.

Ren takes a step towards Nora but was also knocked away by the Paladin. When Ren was knocked away, Neptune and Coco fire there weapons at the Paladin. Both of there weapons had no effect as their shots didn't even dent the armor of the paladin.

"Uh, this is bad!" Neputne says as he fires more shots.

"No shit! That Paladin has some UNSC shielding tech, your guns wont break through!" Gyro calls out.

"Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!" Coco says as she lowers her minigun and looks at Velvet behind her.

"Really?!" Velvet says with a bit of excitement.

"Just make them count. Sky put a lot of time to train you for this." Coco says with reassurance.

Velvet nods as she walks her way towards the Paladin and the Mantis.

"Uh, Coco?! You sure this is a good idea?" Gyro asks with a bit of uncertainty.

"Uh yeah! She's going to get hurt!" Weiss says as she stands up from the ground.

"Trust me." Coco says with confidence. "Just watch."

Velvet stands in front of the Paladin and the Mantis. She extends her arm out as a holographic hardlight copy of Ruby's Crescent Rose forms in her hand from the box on her belt. The Mantis and the Paladin charge there cannon towards Velevt. As both the automated mechs fired, Velvet jumped high into the air, as she came down, she performs a triple tornado slash on the Paladin. As Velvet lands on the ground, The hardlight copy of Crescent Rose swaps into 26's Jet sheathed Sword. The Paladin attempts to punch Velvet, only to be deflected by Velvet unsheathing the blade and slashing at its arm, it forces the Paladin to stagger backwards. Velvet takes the opportunity to use the jet sword's handle to boost herself in front of the Paladin, once close enough, the hardlight copy switches into Weiss's Myrtenaster, Velvet then jumps and performs multiple spins, slashes, and stabs. As the Paladin recoiled back a bit more from the attacks, Velvet's hardlight copy swaps into Yang's Ember Celica, she punches the Paladin and backflips away. Once Velvet lands on the ground, she cocks Ember Celica and fires two shots into the Paladin. The Paladin covers its face with its arm as the two shots make contact, it then swings at Velvet but she ducks under the swing. As Velvet ducked, the hardlight copy swaps into Blake's Gambol Shroud and 26's Wire sword. Velvet digs the blade of the hardlight Gambol Shroud into the Paladin's arm. As Paladin swings around in the circle, Velvet pulls the hardlight blade of Gambol Shroud and swings around the Paladin's legs, tying it up with the hardlight ribbon. Velvet slides on the ground into a full stop and pulls on the hardlight ribbon, forcing the Paladin to loose its balance and collapse into the ground. The Mantis starts to charge its missile pod, Velvet sees this as she flicks the handle on hardlight copy of 26's Wire sword, releasing a hardlight wire. She slashes backwards towards the Mantis, the wire that was ejecting from the hardlight copy of 26's wire sword cuts the arm of where the missile pods were. Velvet throws the hardlight wire sword at the head of the Mantis. As it makes contact, Velvet swaps the hardlight copy's into a copy of Coco's minigun. Velvet releases a large volley of shots into the Mantis, but had little effect. The Mantis walks up to Velvet and raises its leg, it then stomps onto the ground. Velvet manages to jump backwards as she swaps into a hardlight copy of 26's Dual bladed Jet scythe. Velvet digs one of the blades into the Mantis's leg and uses the jet's on the scythe to propel herself up the Mantis's leg and body and launches herself into the air. While in the air, Velvet swaps into a hardlight copy of 26's Airburst Greatsword. As she falls towards the Mantis, she spins herself and slashes downwards into the Mantis, just as the blade makes contact with the Mantis's turret arm, she splits the blade and creates a shockwave, allowing her to cut through the Mantis's turret arm. Velvet Lands on top of the Mantis's head as the Paladin started to slowly recover from the ground. Velevt swaps the hardlight copy into a hardlight copy of 26's Umbrellas and jump-pack. She puts the Umbrellas on the jump-pack as she jumps of the Mantis's head. As Velvet lands on the ground, the blades from the Umbrella's and Jump-pack release and float next to Velvet. She uses the blades to cut both of the Mantis's legs off. As the Mantis collapses, the blades retract back onto the Umbrellas and jump-pack. The Paladin finally recovers at it looks at Velvet. Velvet then grabs both Umbrellas from the Jump-pack and aims it at the Paladin. She hold the trigger for 5 seconds, charging the shot to its maximum damage output. As the Paladin starts to charge at Velvet, she releases the triggers, firing two large blasts into the Paladin, cutting right through its shields and armor, destroying it immediately. As Velvet lowers the Umbrellas, Another Paladin runs up and manages to land a big hit against Velvet, forcing her to fly to her side.

"Velvet!!" Coco yells out in worry.

Coco aims her minigun at the new Paladin that had just arrived and fired a barrage of bullets. As Coco fires her shots, Neptune, Reese, Nadir, and Gyro run up next to Coco and fires their own shots at the Paladin too. Weiss was behind them, she looked down and starts to get frustrated about how she can help. In frustration, Weiss uses her glyphs to increase her speed, trying to save Velvet from another attack. As Weiss runs towards her, she notices a summoning glyph following closely behind her. When Weiss reaches Velvet, she attempts to block the Paladin's attack using , but the attack is eventually blocked by the sword as Weiss was able to summon a part of it.

"Holy shit..." Gyro says to herself.

The Giant Armor cuts the Paladin in half, saving Weiss and Velvet. Weiss looks at the giant armored arm, she is then shortly snapped out of her thoughts as Velvet happily snaps a quick picture of Weiss and the giant armored arm. The moment was cut short by a heavily armored Paladin appears.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Both Gyro and Sun say in unison as they slump forwards.

The heavily armored Paladin starts to sprint for the group, they all brace themselves for there next fight. But as soon as the Paladin draws near them, all the group saw was a blur come from the sky and land on top of the heavily armored Paladin. Smoke flies everywhere, as the smoke slowly clears up, they see that the heavily armored Paladin was destroyed by someone in Aqua colored armor with a blue visor. Shorty after, 26 lands on the ground as the blades retract into his Jump-pack.

"Bucky..." Gyro hisses as her hoverboard swaps into its lance attack mode.

The students look at Gyro and 26, they could tell the anger they had for the aqua colored soldier. Bucky starts to slowly crawl away from the wreckage of the Paladin. As he made a few feet, he turns on to his back to see 26 slowly approach him. In panic, Bucky frantically searches for any of his weapons. Bucky finds his the hilt of his energy sword to his right, he attempts to reach it only for 26 to kick it away towards the group of students. The students look at the hilt of the energy sword, then back at 26, who was hovering over Bucky.

"You have no idea how long we have waited for this." Epsilon says as he appears next to 26.

"Y-You! Your supposed to be Dead?!" Bucky stammers in fright.

"We sure get that a lot, don't we?" Beta says in sarcasm as she also makes an appearance.

All the A.I. Fragments make their appearance. Bucky frantically looks at all of the A.I. Fragments in disbelief. 26 then reaches behind him, one of the blades from his Jump-pack floats into his left hand.

"For years we've spent hunting you down." Omega says as 26 circles Bucky as he drags the blade on the floor, creating sparks.

"You don't scare me." Bucky hisses, trying to sound intimidating.

"You should be." Sigma says. "You should really, really cherish your last moments."

The students look at each other as Sigma said those words, Sun and Sage were about to make a move but were stopped by Gyro. Gyro had stood in front of the group and held her hand in front of them. A small ball of energy formed on her hand.

"Gyro what are you doing?!" Sun says with a bit of aggression.

"Allowing justice to take place." Gyro states as she glares at Sun.

"But he'll kill him!" Coco says, trying to reason with Gyro.

"I've expected you of all people to understand why we have to do this." Gyro says sternly to Coco.

Bucky starts to laugh, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Ha! We'll just still kill you either way! Just those Reds and Blues!." Bucky says smugly. "And just like your pathetic sister, what was her name? Yupia I think. She was a good fuck."

Bucky starts to laugh again. The students look at Bucky with disbelief. Gyro however had a different reaction. She was furious. The ball of energy in her hand started to spark and its color changed to Red. Some of the students slightly backed up as Gyro tilted her head towards Bucky. Coco then picks up the energy sword hilt that 26 kicked over. She stared at the hilt for a few seconds.

"You want to know what Locus found at there base a few days ago?!" Eta and Iota say in unison.

The students looked at each other, half of the group of students knew about Locus's mission a few days ago. They were interested but also scared and worried.

"We found the bodies of Freelancer Agents." Delta explains.

"People we have grown to trust over our time with the program, people who were like family to us." Theta says.

"And that's not all." Beta says. "We found the Bodies of The Red and Blue War Heroes, People who were family to Church and I."

"They were Family, people who I gave my life too, over and over again." Epsilon says with aggression. "They gave people hope, they stopped a corrupted organization like Project Freelancer, stopped a Civil war, and prevented a planetary genocide. And now Locus finds them locked up in the their armor. They died a slow, and painful death, forced to be starved and dehydrated. And now, he will fell the same pain my family felt."

The students stay silent as 26 finally stops circling Bucky. 26 stood in front of Bucky, 26 flips the blade into a backhanded position. As Bucky starts to crawl away, 26 immediately jabs the blade into Bucky's right leg, impaling him to the ground. Bucky screams in agony as he reaches for his leg, only for 26 to kick him back down to the ground.

"That was for the millions of people you've killed back on Earth." Sigma, Gamma, and Omega says.

The students wince as they watch the torture in front of them. They didn't know if they should feel sorry for Bucky. Another blade floats to 26's left hand.

"When I get out of this! I will kill you and your friends, and when I'm done, I'm going to defile your corpses!" Bucky hisses in pain.

26 narrows his eyes as he then jabs the second blade into Bucky's left arm. Bucky yells in pain again as a third blade flies into 26's left hand.

"That was for all the Freelancer's you've made suffer." Theta, Eta, and Iota say in unison.

Gyro only silently watches Bucky in pain. She didn't care as long as he was forced to pay for everything he has done. The 26 lines up the third blade against Bucky's left leg, he then jabs the blade into Bucky's left leg, making him scream again.

"That was for The Reds and Blues." Epsilon, Beta, and Delta say in unison.

Majority of the students had looked away or had walked away slightly. A fourth blade flies into 26's left hand as he lines up the blade against Bucky's right arm. He then stabs the blade into Bucky's right arm.

"That was for threatening our squad, our friends, and our family." The Fragments say in unison.

Coco and Gyro were now the only ones looking at the sight ahead of them. One final blade flies into 26's left hand as he stands over Bucky.

"And this is for me, every single moment you have put me through, forcing me to run and hide like a coward, but I'm done running, I'm done hiding! And I will not let you destroy my home or my family!" 26's hologram projects in front of Bucky.

With one final swift strike, 26 jabs the blade into Bucky's head. Killing him immediately. 26 falls to his knees as he breaths heavily. Gyro's ball of energy stopped sparking as it slowly disappeared. She walked up to her squad mate and put her hand on his shoulder. 26 faces the pilot, he couldn't see her eyes but she could see his, but 26 could see she had some relief.

"It's over for now." Gyro says steadily. "That's one Blue and Red gone.."

26 looked at Bucky's corpse. The blades pulled themselves out of Bucky's body as they spin to wipe the blood off, it then retracts back onto 26's jump-pack. 26 looks back at the group of students who had just watched the transpiring events that had just occurred. 26 then saw the energy sword hilt in Coco's hand. Coco walked up to 26 and held her hand out, trying to give 26 the hilt of the energy sword. Instead of taking it, 26 just closes Coco's hand around the hilt. Coco had a bit of confusion.

"Why won't you take it?" Coco asks in confusion.

"We can't, the sword is bonded to you now." Epsilon says.

"What?" Velvet asks. "Why?"

"These swords are special. A friend told me that once the user of the sword had died, the next person to hold the hilt will become its new user, allowing only them to wield it." Epsilon says quietly. "Either way, it just hurts me to see it. It belonged to one people I called family."

"What was his name?" Coco asks quietly as she knelt next to 26.

"Tucker...Lavernious Tucker...he was the previous user of that sword before Bucky. He was one of the Reds and Blues." Epsilon says sadly.

Epsilon lowered his holographic helmet towards the ground. Beta patted him on his shoulder as the students looked at the memory Fragment. But that didn't last very long.

"Wait, this isn't right." Gyro says.

"What isn't?" Weiss asks the pilot.

"Wasn't there another Mantis?" Gyro asks in a bit of realization

Just as Gyro finishes her sentence, the sound of gunfire is heard. Bullets were flying in the group of students direction. All of them dashed for cover as The Mantis from earlier as just started another fight.

"WHY DO YOU EVEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH!" Sun yells out as he claps his hands between each word.

"I WONDER THAT MYSELF SOMETIMES!" Gyro yells out in disappointment.

Gyro peeks around the corner from where she was taking cover, a bullet hits the wall just as she peeked. She immediately goes back into cover as she held a hand to her chest.

"Uh, yeah, fuck that, anyone else wanna try?" Gyro says with a bit of sarcasm.

The students quickly shake their head no. At the sound of something charging up, Gyro peeks around the corner again to see the missile pods of the Mantis start to glow.

"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" Gyro shouts to the students.

The Mantis fires 5 missiles towards a fallen pillar that Coco, Velvet, and Weiss were taking cover behind. The missiles hit the fallen pillar, causing both Coco to fly into the open while Velvet and Weiss fly into other bits of cover. The Mantis starts to walk up to the fallen Fashionista. 26's eyes widen as he spawns his airburst greatsword. As Coco looks up, she sees the Mantis stop in front of her. 26 sprints in front of Coco as his airburst greatsword's blade splits. 26 holds the airburst greatsword sideways, having the flat side of the sword being used as a shield. His eyes were shut tight as he braced himself for the incoming attack. He was not willing to let one of the people he cared about the most die because if his actions.

"What...The...Fuck..." Epsilon says in a bit of shock.

26 was confused by Epsilon's comment. The Mantis raises its leg as it prepares to stomp on 26 and Coco. Coco looked at 26 as his body emitted a small purple glow. 26's life just flashes before his eyes as he braces for impact. As the Mantis slams its leg down at 26 and Coco, only a metallic thud is heard.

"No fucking way..." Gyro says in disbelief.

26 opens his eyes as he sees something that he couldn't believe. A bright white and black form in a appearance of armored soldiers. The white figure in armor had an EVA helmet, white armor, brown accent colors, and glowed the color white. The black figure had a mark 5 helmet, wore full back armor and glowed the color black. Both of the figures held the Mantis's leg from hitting both 26 and Coco. Epsilon, 26, and Gyro knew what they saw.

"Maine? Texas?" 26's Hologram displays.

"They're supposed to be dead..." Gyro says in shock and disbelief.

Coco looked at 26's eyes, his left eye was the color black and gold while the right eye was white and brown. Both the figures of Maine and Texas throw the Mantis's leg back as they disappear. 26's left eye then flashed into a dark purple and a light green while the right eye flashed into a lighter shade of purple and green. A dark purple vapor trail fires into the Mantis, piercing through the Mantis. Everyone looks where the vapor trail came from to see another glowing solider with a mark 5 helmet, dark purple armor, and a dark green accent colors, the figure lowered its glowing sniper rifle, 26 knew that it was his mentor North Dakota. Another glowing solider jumps onto the Mantis from behind, this one's armor was a lighter shade of purple and green and had a female like appearance, she whipped out her glowing MA37 Assault Rifle and started to fire multiple shots into the back of the Mantis's head, 26 identified that the lighter purple female solider was North's twin, South Dakota.

"How is this possible?" Epsilon asks in shock.

"Its...Its his semblance..." Coco says quietly. "He unlocked his aura and semblance...' Coco says as a small hopeful smile on her face forms.

26 looked at his arms as his body glowed. The North and South Dakota figures disappears as the Mantis falls to the ground, still active and functioning. 26 flashed his left eye into a Tan and Silver color while his right eye flashes into a Aqua and White. The glowing figures York and Illinois appears next to the Mantis. The glowing figure of Illinois uses its grenade launcher to expose the inside of the Mantis's head, the glowing figure of York then readies its shotgun and fires a shot inside of the the head of the Mantis, disabling it finally. The figures of York and Illinois disappear as 26 starts to stumble from using too much of his new unlocked aura, Coco manages to catch 26 just before he collapses. 26 looks at Coco as she looked into his eyes. She slightly gasped.

"Your eyes.." Coco says in a bit of happiness.

26 slightly tilted his head in confusion.

"They-They look normal..." Coco says as some tears formed in her eyes as she embraced the mute freelancer.

26 collapsed the airburst greatsword, he looked through the reflection of the blade to see the radiation damage he had was gone. His eyes were sky blue and white instead of cracked and dark purple eyes. 26 blinked as the color of his eyes shifted like Neo's, he blinked again as his eyes changed back to sky blue.

"His new found aura must have healed the damage done to his eyes." Fox says.

"Well...This went better than expected." Sun says.

"Weiss!!" Yang yells as she starts to run to the group.

Yang ran towards the tired Weiss.

"Your okay!" Yang says as she helps Weiss stand.

Yang then looks at 26 and Coco. She saw that his eyes were cured, but she also saw the body of Bucky near the destroyed Mantis.

"Where's Ruby?" Yang asks the Freelancer.

"She's fine. She's with someone close to me, they'll be here when they can." 26's hologram projects as Coco helped him stand.

"What about Blake?" Yang asked.

"Blake and Locus went after an Alpha. And some members of the White Fang and The Blue and Reds." Weiss says tiredly as she points towards the Cafeteria.

"Try to rest and wait for Ruby, I'll meet up with Blake and Locus." Yang says a she runs for the cafeteria.

The remaining students look at each other. After a few breif moments, they all move out to the docks. Coco helped 26 walk while Neptune supported Weiss.

(Location: Beacon Cafeteria)

Adam was staring at Blake and Locus from the inside of the Cafeteria. Blake started to slowly back up as Adam turned towards the Ex-Mercenary and The Cat Faunus. Locus held his ground as he had his shotgun aimed at Adam.

"Running away again?' Adam says to Blake as he ignores Locus's presence. "Is that what you've become my love? A coward?"

Blake continues to slowly back up. Locus looked back at Blake.

"Blake, don't listen to him, your not a coward, your a huntress." Locus says trying to help Blake concentrate. Locus then looks back at Adam. "Why do all of this!"

Adam looks at the Ex-Mercenary, he then looks back at Blake.

"We were going to change the world! We were destined to light the fires of revolution!" Adam says as he steps on a civilian that was on the ground. "Consider this the spark."

Adam grips the handle of his sword 'Wilt', he draws the blade and prepares to stab the civilian under him. Before Locus could react, Blake sped past him and charged at Adam. Adam was knocked off the civilian as Blake's Gambol Shroud's katana and Adam's Wilt's Blades collided ans sparks flew.

"I'm NOT running!" Blake says with aggression.

Adam manages to slowly overpower Blake as their blades were colliding with each other.

"You Will." Adam says sternly.

Adam kicks Blake to the ground. A creep was about to jump on Blake by was slashed in half by Locus's Energy sword. Adam stared at Locus and his Energy Sword as he pointed it at Adam.

"Looks like the dog has a fighting spirit." Adam says towards Locus.

Locus growls as he swings his energy sword at Adam. Adam blocks the Energy sword with his 'Wilt'. Adam's Wilt and hair started to glow red as both blades were interlocked, sparks were flying as the both of them were fighting to try and overpower each other.

"This is pointless Taurus! Your ideals of 'Revolution' is just wanting genocide against humans!" Locus says.

"What do you know?! Humans deserve the punishment for how they've treated us!" Adam growls.

"I know that your delusional! What you want is the roles to be swapped! Humans being treated like shit by Faunus! This wont solve anything!" Locus says through gritted teeth.

Locus manages to overpower Adam as he kicks Adam against his ribs. Adam grunts as he stumbles back a bit. Blake watched as Locus attempts to go for a stab on Adam, only to be easily parried and disarmed. The Energy sword deactivated as soon as it left Locus's hand, Adam manages to swiftly catch the hilt and kick Locus to the ground. Adam smiles as he inspects the hilt.

"I must say, your worlds technology is very impressive." Adam says as he sheaths Wilt into Blush.

Adam places Wilt and Blush on his waist as he looks at the hilt. Adam presses the activation button at the hilt, hoping to activate the energy sword, but nothing happens. Adam continues to attempt to activate the energy sword. Blake looks a Locus in a bit of confusion, Locus only motions his head towards Adam. Blake looks at Adam, she then takes the opportunity to sweep Adam's legs, causing him to fall to the ground. Blake manages to grab the hilt of the energy sword and tosses it to Locus. Locus catches the hilt and ignites the energy sword. Adam rolls to his side as Locus attempts to stab Adam. Adam kicks Locus against his helmet, knocking him on the ground. Blake then tries to slash at Adam, but Adam manages un-sheath Wilt and Block Blake's attack. Blake tries to use her semblance to gain some distance towards Adam. Blake then goes for a downwards slash against Adam. Adam dodges the slash and grabs Blake by her throat. Locus then attempts to free Blake by slashing at Adam from behind. Adam pivots his leg behind him, hitting Locus's knee, Locus ends ups missing the slash on Adam. Adam then stabs Wilt into Locus's left leg. Locus drops his energy sword and hisses in pain. Adam then throws Blake onto the ground, he then removes Wilt from Locus's Leg and tornado kicks Locus, knocking him out.

"Locus!" Blake yells out to the knocked out Ex-Mercenary.

"This could have been our day! Can't you see that!?" Adam yells out to Blake.

"I Never wanted this! I wanted EQUALITY! I Wanted Peace!" Blake cries out as she turns Gambol Shroud into its pistol form.

Blake fires two shots at Adam, but only to be absorbed as Adam temporarily unsheathes Wilt from Blush.

"What you want is impossibly!" Adam yells as he re-sheathes Wilt into Blush.

Adam back handed slaps Blake onto the floor.

"But now I understand. Because all i want...is you Blake." Adam says.

Blake had a look of anger as she raised Gambol Shrouds pistol form at Adam. She was about to fire a shot, only for Adam kicking her weapon out of her hand and knocks her on to her back.

"And as i set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind so greatly deserves...I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love." Adam says as he kneels in front of Blake.

"Blake! Locus!" Yang yells from a distance.

Adam and Blake look out the cafeteria window to see Yang punch a White Fang member, knocking him out.

"Blake! Locus! Where are you guys!" Yang yells out as she searches for the both of them.

Adam looks at Blake as she had a look of pure horror. He then looks back at Yang.

"Starting with her." Adam says.

Adam unsheathes Wilt and stabs Blake in her lower torso. Blake screams in pain, grabbing Yang's attention. Yang looks inside the cafeteria to see Locus bleeding on the floor and Adam pulling Wilt from Blake's torso.

"Get Away From Them!" Yang says in anger.

Blake extends her arm towards Yang, hoping she wont interfere. Adam re sheaths Wilt into blush as he turns towards Yang. In Pure rage, Yang activates her semblance and propels herself towards Adam in full force. Just as Yang was about to land a punch on Adam, he uses his semblance to swiftly cut Yang's arm off. Yang lands next to Locus and passes out. Adam slowly makes his way towards Locus and Yang. He swipes Wilt to the side, flinging blood off the blade. Blake jumps in front of Locus and Yang, trying to protect them.

"Why must you hurt me Blake." Adam says.

Blake doesn't responds as she stares at Adam in pure anger. Adam raises Wilt and swings the blade. Decapitating Blake, only for the the body and head to fade into black and disappearing. Blake had used her semblance as she had to carry both Locus and Yang out of the Cafeteria. Adam only takes a few steps towards the fleeing Blake as a Creep ran up behind Adam. Without looking Adam strikes the Creep down with one slash.

(Location: Beacon Docks)

The group of students have managed to clear Beacon main avenue, they had also managed to secure the docks to help remaining civilians evacuate from Beacon. They have managed to regroup with with Professor Port and Doctor Oobleck. Both teachers lead the evacuation of civilians while the large group of students recovered from their recent battle against the Paladins and Mantises. Blake was spotted by Sun as she was struggling to carry both Locus and Yang. The students quickly responded as they helped Blake, Locus and Yang.

"What happened?" Gyro says as she ran to Blake.

Gyro helps take Locus, she sets him down on the floor. 26 and Coco then run up to Blake and Gyro. Weiss also joins the small group as she helps Yang.

"Adam...Adam did this...it's my fault..." Blake says in shame as she lies down on the floor next to Yang.

26 kneels next to the three injured friends.

"Hold still, this will only hurt for a bit." 26'a hologram projects.

26's armor's advent colors flash green, activating his healing unit. A green field of energy surrounds 26, Blake, Yang, and Locus. The three injured friends slightly hiss in a bit of pain. Weiss gets a bit worried, she takes a step forward, only to be stopped by Gyro.

"Calm down, it's just Sky using his healing unit." Gyro says as he lowers her arm off Weiss.

Blake slightly looked at Gyro in a bit of confusion.

"It's 26's real name." Gyro quickly says before Blake could ask her question.

A few of the injured that the three friends had slightly healed slowly. A few small cuts started to disappear as well as a few bruises. However, Locus's and Blake's injuries took more time to heal. 26 the deactivates his healing unit due to a bit of low power from his armor.

"That is all I can do for now, I'm low on power and I can't keep using my equipment. Your wounds will have to heal naturally over time." 26's hologram displays a he looks at Blake.

Blake looks at 26, she notices that the radiation damage that he had in his eyes were gone. She also noticed that they were Sky Blue instead of the cracked dark purple.

"What happened to your eyes?" Blake asks as she took the bandages from 26.

"I'll tell you what happened." Gyro says as she kneels down to help bandage Blake's stab wound. "26 or Sky here has unlocked his aura and semblance apparently."

Blake looked skeptically at 26.

"I though you didn't know where you were born?" Blake asks.

"At first I didn't, but after some time searching around, I've found out that I was born here, 13 years ago I was taken by Project Freelancer, your smart enough to put the rest of the pieces together." 26's hologram projects as he stands up.

26 looks behind him. He notices both Nora and Ren resting on the ground with Weiss. He turns back to Gyro. 26 then nudges Gyro"s shoulder.

"Gyro? Where's Jaune and Pyrrha?" 26's hologram displays as he motions his head towards Ren and Nora.

Gyro looks behind her to see half of Team JNPR, she looks down to think for a second till she realizes where they were.

"Shit, their at the tower." Gyro says as she face palms herself. "They might be in that vault...shit Pyrrha!"

Gyro was about to run off but was held back by 26.

"No, you need to stay here, your the only one who can fly the pelican and your the only capable one to deal with enemy ships, C and I will go find Jaune and Pyyrha." 26's hologram projects as he held Gyro's shoulder

"Want to spend some alone time with your girlfriend?" Gyro says playfully as she nudges 26 with her elbow.

"Grow up Gyro, also, be on the lookout for Ruby and my sister, hopefully they'll be here soon." 26's hologram projects.

Gyro nods as she was about to leave, but again she was held back by 26.

"And June, i need you to stand up for Neo, Ruby will also be with you to help, please don't let any harm come to her." 26's hologram projects as he looks into Gyro's visor.

"Got it, good luck." Gyro says.

Gyro nods again as she goes back to tend Blake, Locus, and Yang's wounds. 26 ran up to Coco as she was talking to Velvet.

"C, Jaune and Pyyrha are missing, i'm about to go look for them, i was hoping that you would like to tag along." 26 hologram projects.

"Yeah of course." Coco says as she readies her hand bag. "Sorry Vel, we'll go alone." Coco says as she smirks.

"Yeah, alright, good luck you two." Velvet says as she waves bye to their team leader.

Both 26 and Coco wave back to Velvet as they set out to Beacon tower in search of Pyrrha and Jaune. As 26 and Coco we're waking alone, Coco decides to start some conversation.

"So, what's next once this is over?" Coco says as she looks at 26.

"What do you mean?" 26's hologram projects as 26 looks at her.

"What I mean is whats next for us when all this chaos is over?" Coco says as she stops in front of 26.

"Retirement is defiantly one of my options." 26's hologram projects as he shrugs.

Coco chuckles a bit at the comment by 26. She then takes 26's right hand into her own.

"Well I was thinking when this is over, we could try to settle down a bit." Coco says as she smiles.

"I'm surprised you off all people would want to take things easy instead of wanting to fight or shop." 26's hologram projects.

"Well, i'm always open for trying out new things, and i'm surprised you would want to also want to just leave your old life behind." Coco says as she lowers her sunglasses to reveal her eyes.

"Well I haven't really mentioned that I plan for retirement when this is over. And were still missing two members of our squad." 26's hologram projects as he shrugs again.

"Gyro's sister and your General, right?" Coco asks as she tilts her head.

"Yeah, Yupia and General Nuri." 26's hologram projects.

26 displays an old photograph of 26, Locus, Gyro, Yupia, and Nuri in a forest like environment. Coco looks at the old squad.

"Do you think there on Remnant?" Coco asks.

"They have to, we already found traces of Yupia here, but as for General Nuri, were not sure, we haven't found a single thing about her status or location, if she is here, we'll find them soon enough." 26's hologram projects.

"Well, what was Nuri and Yupia like?" Coco ask in curiosity.

"Yupia might as well be a combination of a pissed off Yang, a bitchy Weiss, and a solitary Blake. As for General Nuri, she might as well be a more mature version of Gyro." 26's hologram projects.

"So Yang?" Coco asks as she raises her eyebrow.

"Yeah, basically another older version Yang." 26's hologram displays as 26 had a deadpanned look.

Coco chuckles again.

"Well speaking of settling in after all of this, what exactly do you plan to do?" Coco asks.

"Maybe rebuild my old home, Neo and I could probably live there if we do manage to put an end to all of this." 26's hologram displays.

"Really? Welllll maybe you can use some company?" Coco says as she leans on 26.

"Maybe, we'll see, but company would be nice." 26's hologram projects.

Coco smiles as she hugs the Mute Freelancer tightly, After a few seconds pass by Coco lets go of 26. The both of them go back on their search of Pyyrha and Jaune, the both of them manage to reach Ozpin's Tower, just as they both were about to enter the main entrance, both Jaune and Pyyrha sprint out of the tower's main entrance, running into Coco and 26.

"26? Coco? What are you doing here?" Pyrrha asks.

"We were looking for you both." Coco explains.

"Well thanks for looking for us, but we need to call someone, Glynda or Ironwood." Jaune says as he takes out his scroll. "I might have Glynda's Number somewhere. Uh, where is it." Jaune says in frustration.

"Slow down, what's going on?" 26's hologram displays as he tries to calm both Pyrrha and Jaune down.

Pyrrha looks at the tower in worry. She then looks back at 26.

"Cinder...she was in the vault..." Pyrrha says quietly.

Coco and Jaune were a bit confused, they both looked at 26 as his eyes widened to Pyrrha's explanation.

"Wait, what's going on?" Coco asks her boyfriend in confusion.

Just as Pyrrha and 26 were about to answer their question, the sound of an explosion goes off inside of the tower, they look inside to see an orange light and a red blur fly to the top of the tower inside of the elevator shaft. Another sound is heard, they look up to see a large ship fly over the tower with the same inscription 'Armada 8' on the sides of the ship.

"But...Ozpin..." Jaune says sadly.

"Son if a bitch." 26's hologram projects as he had his attention on the ship.

"Theirs no time..." Pyrrha says quietly. She then looks at the other three. "Go. Get to Vale and call for help." Pyrrha says.

"What? Why?" Coco asks.

"Yeah, What are you going to do?" Jaune asks in worry.

Pyrrha only looks back at the tower, Jaune realized what she was planning on doing.

"No, Pyrrha you can't! You saw how powerful she is!" Jaune says trying to help Pyrrha.

"She's not going alone." 26's hologram projects.

26 stepped next to Pyrrha, Coco also had a look of worry.

"Jaune, you and Coco need to head back to the docks, Gyro has a Pelican for evacuation, Pyrrha and I can deal with Cinder, and when you see Gyro, tell her to focus on Armada 8, tell her that's their main command ship." 26's hologram projects.

"Sky, I'm not going to-" Coco says as she was cut off.

26 quickly lifts up the bottom of his helmet slightly as he kissed Coco, Pyrrha has done the same with Jaune behind them. As a few seconds pass by, 26 parted lips from Coco's as he lowers his helmet back down. Pyrrha has also stopped her kiss with Jaune.

"Coco, please, Pyrrha and I are the best fighters out of the four of us, we can buy you both some time, just please be safe for the both of us." 26's hologram projects in front of Coco.

Coco had some tears in her eyes. 26 reaches his hands behind his head as he takes off his necklace, he looks at it before staring to tie the necklace around Coco's neck. Once Coco was wearing it, she looked at the Gem on the necklace. 26 also managed to slip a Holodisc inside of Coco's pocket without her knowing.

"Just please take care of Neo for me, I trust you the most and I love you. And besides, how else am I supposed to get my necklace back." 26's hologram projects.

Coco lightly chuckles as 26 wipes tears from her face. She then silently nods at the Mute Freelancer. She looks at Jaune who was also tearing up a bit.

"Come on Jaune, we got to find Gyro." Coco says as she looked back at 26.

Jaune silently nods. Coco and Jaune start to run for the docks. 26 and Pyrrha glance at each other as they ran inside of the tower. The both of them stopped in front of the destroyed elevator shafts.

"I suppose you have a plan to get to the top." 26's hologram displays as 26 looks at Pyyrha.

Pyyrha silently nods, she uses her semblance of polarity to rip on of the elevator doors open. Both Pyyrha and 26 walk inside of the elevator, avoiding the large hole inside of the center of the elevator. Once the both of them were inside, Pyyrha shuts her eyes and begins to focus. She uses her semblance again, parts of the elevator were glowing black as it started to shake. After a few moments gone by, Pyyrha manages to launch the elevator up towards the top of the tower in a rapid speed.

(Location: Beacon Docks)

Gyro and the group of students were still at the docks. Civilians were still being evacuated from Beacon. While waiting, Gyro, Velvet, Yatsuhashi, and Fox managed to help the injured Yang, Locus, Blake, Nora, and Ren inside the Pelican. They had to take out all the weapons and supplies Locus brought with him when he stole the Pelican a few days ago in order to carry more people. Just as the group of four exited the Pelican, They saw Ruby along with Neo run over to the docks. Gyro was the only one who knew of Neo being related to 26 which did cause some problems, Of course, Weiss was the first to react to Neo's presence.

"Ruby! Behind you!" Weiss cries out as she reaches for Myrtenaster.

Both Ruby and Neo turn around to only find no one. Just as they turn back to Weiss, Weiss dashed towards Neo with her Glyphs, as she drew close to strike Neo, Ruby unfolded Crescent Rose from her waist to block Weiss's attack. This left Weiss confused.

"Ruby what are you doing!?" Weiss asks as she jumps off Crescent Rose.

"Weiss, this is going to sound crazy so please calm down." Ruby says slowly.

Gyro, Velvet, Yatsuhashi, Fox, and Sun run up behind Weiss.

"Oh hey you found his sister." Gyro says nonchalantly to Ruby.

This left confused looks on every except for Ruby and Gyro, even Neo was confused herself.

"Your...Not mad at me?" Neo asks quietly and with uncertainty.

"Eh, if you regret the things you've done, your okay in my book." Gyro says calmly.

"Can someone explain whats going on?" Sun asks.

"Oh right, yeah this is 26's older sister." Ruby explains as she motions her hand to Neo.

The students observed Neo as she was frantically looking around the docks looking for someone.

"Where's Sky.." Neo only says.

"He and Coco went to go look for Pyyrha and Jaune." Velvet says.

"We haven't seen them for a while." Yatsuhashi explains.

"Wait, where's Blake, Yang, and Locus?" Ruby asks ass he tilts her head.

The students didn't say anything as they looked towards the Pelican. Ruby had a look of shock as she saw Yang's missing arm. Locus was still unconscious as he was set on the other side of the Pelican. Ren and Nora silently sat next to each other has they held on to their wounds. Blake however was saying that she was sorry a she sat next to the unconscious Yang.

"Yang..." Ruby says quietly.

"Hey..." Sun says a she tried to relive a bit of stress. "She's going to be okay. The Soldiers have a ship ready to take you guys back to Vale."

"Excuse me?" Gyro says to Sun. "Were still missing 26, Coco, Jaune, and Pyyrha, were not leaving yet!"

"What?!" Ruby says in shock.

"Look guys, that Giant Grimm and ship keeps circling the school." Sun says a he points towards the ship and the Dragon Grimm. "Even the White Fang and Blues and Reds are pulling out! We all have to go...Now!"

"Whats your problem!?" Neo speaks up. "My Brother, his girlfriend, and two of your friends are missing and you just want to abandon them?! I though you were a huntsmen, not a selfish coward!" Neo says as she takes a step towards Sun.

Sun was about to retort but they heard voices coming from where Neo and Ruby ran from. They turn around quickly to see a tired Coco and Jaune. They both reached to where everyone else was and were panting heavily from running and fighting grimm on the way.

"Coco! Jaune!" Velvet says as she ran towards her team leader.

Everyone else followed to meet with Coco and Jaune.

"You two are okay." Fox says.

"Yeah...Just tired.." Coco says as she just put away her new energy sword hilt on her belt.

"Where's 26 and Pyyrha?" Weiss asks.

"At...the tower..." Jaune says between breaths.

"Gyro, that ship." Coco says a she points towards the large ship with the inscription 'Armada 8' "26 says that's their command ship..I don't know how he know, but i believe him."

"Well that's a problem..." Gyro says flatly. "We can't take off with out that ship blasting us as soon as we even lift off the ground."

"Then what do we do?" Ruby asks.

"Well, that's where the fun part really begins.." Gyro says. "Stand back a bit, this is going to be some really bright fucking light show."

Gyro walked to an empty area of the docks. Gyro spread her legs as her body started to glow her usual cyan color as she used her powers. But that cyan color started to shift into a crimson red. Her armor still remained its usual Cyan and blue color while, but they could see a red glow coming from under Gyro's helmet. The ground around her started glow red as sparks were flying around her. Gyro raised her right arm towards the large ship. Her hand and half of her right arm glow a white and red. She placed her left hand on her right arm to help stabilize her aim. After a few more seconds, in a blink of an eye, a bright red and white beam pierces through the shields and the ship with the engraving 'Armada 8'. The ship starts dip downwards as flames and smoke were coming from the large hole Gyro created on the ship. Gyro started to breath heavily as she lowered her arm. The red glow around her started to disappear as a few of the students run over to her.

"FUCK!" Gyro exclaims as she falls on one of her knees.

"Gyro! Are you okay?!" Weiss asks the pilot.

"No i'm not." Gyro says with a bit of anger. "I fucking missed the command deck..."

Velvet and Sun help Gyro stand, Gyro was very upset that she might have missed an opportunity to kill another Blue and Red Captain, but she wasn't even sure if any Blue and Red Captain was on that ship.

"Well that's the ship taken care of...what's next?" Gyro says as she breaths heavily.

"How about we look for my Brother and your friend." Neo says in worry.

"Yeah, right, well who's going to be the ones who search for them." Gyro says as she looks at the small group of students.

The students look at each other, some of them wanted to go looking for 26 and Pyyrha, but they were too tired.

"I'll find them.." Ruby speaks up. "I'll find them and i'll bring them back."

"No." Weiss says as she walks next to Ruby. "We will find them." Weiss looks at the others. "Watch after everyone else."

"Got it, i'll fly everyone else to Vale, Locus, Blake, and Yang need a hospital. If were lucky, i can try to refuel the Pelican to come back for you guys." Gyro explains.

Both Ruby and Weiss nod.

"We'll be back." Weiss says.

Both Weiss and Ruby start to run for the tower, as they left Gyro looked at everyone else.

"You heard the plan, everyone load up! Wheels will be up in 60!" Gyro exclaims.

Sun and Velvet help Gyro walk to the Pelican. Everyone starts to take their seats in the Pelican while Gyro walks into the cockpit along with Sun sitting in the co-pilot seat.

"Oh it feels so good to be flying this baby again~." Gyro says in relief.

"I'm honestly curious and terrified on how this will turn out." Sun says flatly.

With a few button presses inside of the Pelican's cockpit, the engines of the Pelican start to ignite and roar. After a few seconds passes, the Pelican starts to lift off the ground.

"Everyone on board and ready?!" Gyro yells back into the seats that everyone was sitting on.

"YES!" Everyone yells back.

Gyro press as button, harnesses fasten on everyone inside the pelican. With a few more button presses, Gyro places her left and on the control stick and her right hand is placed on a lever. As the Pelican hovers a bit higher off the ground, Gyro pushes the lever forwards. The Pelican flies off in incredible speed off to Vale.

As Ruby and Weiss were busy fighting Grimm and closing in on the tower, they feel the ground rumble as the Dragon Grimm flies around the tower. It roars as it lands on a support beam that was at the bottom of the tower. Ruby unfolds Crescent Rose.

"I have a plan." Ruby says as she readies her weapon.

"You always do." Weiss says a she readies Myrtenaster.

They both start to charge towards the tower.

(Location: Inside Beacon Tower, Ozipin's Office)

Cinder walks through some of the smoke that she created as she flew up to the top of the tower. As she reaches the window, she starts to receive a call on her scroll. She then answers the scroll to hear a very annoyed Leader.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" Temple yells through the scroll.

Cinder pushes the scroll away from her as Temple yelled.

"What is the problem Temple." Cinder says.

"MY PROBLEM?! MY PROBLEM IS THAT ONE OF MY SHIPS WAS JUST BLOWN OUT OF THE SKY AS WELL AS ONE OF MY CAPTAINS WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY THE SAME PERSON WHO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO KILL FOR YEARS!!" Temple yells again through the scroll.

"Well that shouldn't be a problem anymore." Cinder says calmly as she light a fireball in her hand.

"WELL GUESS WHAT DIPSHIT, TURNS OUT THAT THAT ASSHOLE WAS BORN HERE, AND HE HAS HIS OWN FUCKING SEMBLANCE AND SHIT!" Temple yells in frustration.

Cinder slightly froze as she heard that 26 was born in Remnant and the fact he now has a semblance. She remember her last encounter with the Mute Freelancer.

"Well what do you suppose we do about it." Cinder says trying to sound calm.

"WE? FUCK THAT!! I've already ordered a full fucking retreat! You can deal with him yourself!" Temple says as he ends the call.

Cinder growls in frustration as she puts her scroll away. She sighs as she walks towards the window. She saw the remaining ships that Temple had sent fly into orbit. But she did smirk as the face of the Dragon Grimm appears on the window. The Dragon Grimm starts to screech.

"Shhhh...This is your home now." Cinder says towards the Dragon Grimm.

The Dragon Grimm stares at Cinder. She backed away from the window slightly and raised her hand up, she opened her palm as fire ignited in the palm of her hand. But Cinder was interrupted by the sound of metallic screeching coming from one of the elevator shafts. After a few moments, the elevator stops screeching and the elevator dings. The doors spring open as Pyyrha's Miló was thrown at high speed towards Cinder. Cinder smirked as she dodged Miló as it spun past her. She looked back at the elevator to see Pyrrha's Akoúo̱ flying towards her with Pyyrha at the other side of the sheild, Cinder blocks the attack with her elbow, along with the following kick from Pyrrha. 26 then appeared right in front of Cinder with his his armor's accent colors light blue, signaling that his speed enhancement was active. Cinder attempts to kick 26, but he managed to grab her ankle and her leg, he quickly spins around and throws Cinder towards the other side of the office. After Cinder lands on her feet, Pyrrha uses her Semblance to retrieve Miló and Akoúo̱ into her hands while 26 spawned his wire sword, with the 'A' mark appearing and floating on the back of his neck. But the mark starts to dissipate as another wire sword flashes in his other hand.

"Remember me?" 26's hologram projects in front of Cinder. "How's your knees?"

Cinder scowled, she started hovering above the ground, Cinder casts a fireball, causing Pyrrha to block with her shield and 26 to roll to the side. Cinder fires a fireball at 26, 26 cuts through the fireball with one of the wires he had just used as he just flicked one of the sword's lever. Cinder then fires another fireball at Pyyrha, Pyyrha dodges the fire blast by rolling to her right. She evades a second fire blast by performing a midair roll, twisting her body to her left as she blocks the next, more powerful fire blast with her shield.

Pyrrha and 26 closes the window between them two and Cinder by charging forward through the fire, before spinning in midair and attempting to stab Cinder once the fire stopped ... only to have Cinder catch the blades with her hands and send a fiery blast to Pyrrha's and 26's stomach.

As Pyrrha and 26 recover from crashing into a wall, Cinder propels herself forward with jets of fire, attempting to ram Pyyrha into the wall. Pyyrha leaps upward, grabs Cinder, and uses the momentum to hurl her opponent onto the floor. As her opponent recovers with a backflip, she is tackled by 26, who proceeds to land a flurry of blows. Cinder blocks them before she backflips and kicks 26 up into the air.

While midair, 26 tosses his Wire swords, only for Cinder to deflect each one, Pyrrha the tackles her to the ground. With Cinder in her choke hold, the latter smiles as she increases the temperature of her grip on Miló and melts the ends of the blade into molten slag.

Pyrrha and 26 realizes that the Grimm is aiding Cinder when it levels the spire of the tower, destroying the CCT. 26 was lauched into a small left over piece of a wall, but he saw that Pyrrha was launched towards the edge of the tower, 26's left eye flashed into the color of aqua and gold as extended his left arm towards Pyyrha. She was about to fall off but was caught by something. Pyyrha looks up too see a glowing Aqua colored solider with a recon helmet holding on to her arm. The Aqua colored figure pulled Pyyrha up from the edge and then dissipated. Once Pyyrha was back on what remains of Ozpin's Office, 26 kicks Pyyrha's Akoúo̱. Pyyrha catches Akoúo̱and looks up, she notices the metallic environment around her, she hurls Ozpin's desk at Cinder and readies her weapon, just as Cinder easily blocks the failed attack.

Back on the offensive, Cinder launches two fire blasts, which 26's secondary armor color flashes yellow, using his bubble shield enhancement, 26 activates the Bubble shield just as Cinder's fire was about to hit them. As 26 hurls his Wire swords again when he deactivates his bubble shield, briefly parting the wall of fire created, Cinder responds by deflecting it - before realizing that 26 had only been distracting her while Pyyrha was using her Semblance to lift several giant gears all around her.

Before Cinder can do anything, 26 pulls on the wires that he held, the swords hit her legs and sends her off-balance and a gear slams into her stomach and knocks her down. Pyrrha buries her with the gears as she retrieves her shield and then proceeds to crush her. However, Cinder uses her heat to disrupt the magnetism, sending all of the gears flying, including a few at Pyrrha and 26, resulting in them smashing into a pillar and there Aura being depleted.

(Location: Outside of Beacon Tower)

Ruby and Weiss were still busy fighting the horde of Grimm outside of the tower. Ruby slashes a creep with her Crescent Rose before looking at Weiss.

"We've gotta hurry!" Ruby exclaims.

Weiss looks at the tower. She then summons one large glyph, then several other glyphs are summoned on the side of the tower, leading tot he top.

"You can do this." Weiss says as she looks at Ruby.

Ruby nods at Weiss. She sprints towards the tower and then used her semblance to launch herself to the first glyph on the side of the tower. Ruby then used the glyphs to run up the tower.

(Location: Beacon Tower, Ozpin's Office)

As Cinder readies a shot with her arrow, Pyrrha tosses her shield, successfully shattering the arrow only for Cinder to reform the fragments around her shield and send the arrow into Pyrrha's ankle, wounding her. 26 then sprang up as he saw Pyyrha falling down. He pulled on the wires, causing the swords to fly into his hand as he charged at Cinder. Cinder then splits her glass bows into her dual sword. The both of them exchange slashes and stabs. 26 attempts to decapitate Cinder, but she manages to duck under the swing ans sweeps 26's legs, causing him to fall to the ground. Cinder then swiftly stabs 26 in his left robotic arm, causing him to be impaling to the ground next to Pyyrha. Despite Pyyrha's best attempts, she is unable to get up and fight, as Cinder then walks up to them.

"Its unfortunate you were promised a power that was never truly yours." Cinder says as she lifts up Pyyrha's chin to force her to look at Cinder. "But take comfort in knowing that i will use it in ways you could never have imagined."

26 watched Cinder as she lectured Pyyrha, he then started to remember something that had occurred a few days ago.

"Only use these when we need to, there damaged but we can use them to get out of sticky situations." Locus says in the flashback as he hands a teleportation grenade to 26 and Gyro.

"Do we have any idea where these things will take us?" Gyro asked in the flashback as she inspects the teleportation grenade.

"There's no guarantee to where it can take us, or what time it would take us to. But it surely beats dying." Locus says in the flashback.

"This is risky Locus, We cant just use these things if we don't know where it would take us." Gyro says in the flashback.

"This could be a good thing too, if we teleport at the right time, we can also help the people here, Temple and the Blues and Reds are only here for us, if we teleport if need be, they'll come after us, leaving Remnant to chase us. If we don't know how here we're going either, it makes it even more difficult for Temple to track us down." 26's hologram projects.

26 looked at the teleportation grenade in his hand. He knew if he had to use it, it would mean leaving everything he knew behind once more. There was no guarantee that he could find his way back even if he tried. But he knew that if he had used it, he would have the determination to find a way back.

As Cinder lectures her on how she will take advantage of the which was never supposed to belong to Pyrrha, the now helpless warrior looks Cinder straight in her eyes.

"Do you believe in destiny?" Pyyrha only asks.

"Yes." Cinder only responds with.

Cinder reforms her bow and arrow, aims it at Pyyrha. 26 then quickly grabs the handle of the sword Cinder used to impale his arm. He pulls the sword out of his arm. Cinder fires the arrow, only for it to be cut by 26. Cinder and Pyyrha look at 26.

"I believe in destiny, but i also believe that i'm allowed to create my own!" 26's hologram projects.

Cinder growled as she fired another arrow at 26, he deflected it with ease but Cinder was able to slash at 26's left leg, causing him to knee in next to Pyyrha. Just as Cinder was about to finish off the Freelancer and Pyyrha with her new found maiden powers, 26 reached behind him. He grabbed the teleportation grenade that Locus gave him a few days ago and looked at Pyyrha.

"I'm sorry." 26's hologram displays.

Cinder launches fire at 26 and Pyyrha. Just before they were burned alive, 26 gripped the teleportation grenade and threw it on the floor, creating a bright orange light. Ruby however had just jumped over the edge to witness 26 throwing the grenade on the ground just as the wave of fire was about hit them. Ruby eye's widen as the fire dissipated and saw that 26 and Pyyrha were missing, thinking they were killed.

"NOO!" Ruby screams.

Ruby's silver eyes started to shine a bright white that hand started to engulf the tower. The Grimm Dragon start to screech loudly. Cinder shouted in shock as the white light started to engulf her too. Ruby then passed out as she only saw the color white. She only remembered hearing a loud engine and two people before passing out.

"There she is!" The first person says who she believes is Gyro.

"I gotcha kiddo." The second person says who she believes was Qrow

(Time: Unknown)

(Location: Unknown)

Ruby was still unconscious but she heard voices in her sleep.

"Ugh, Nothing." Taiyang says.

"Just turn it off." Qrow says to Taiyang. "Without the CCT there's no point."

"Communication down across the entire kingdom...No way to contact the outside world...and Ozpin's still missing." Taiyang says.

"Yep...what a fucking mess..." Gyro says.

"This is bad guys." Taiyang says.

"Yeah, this is bad." Qrow says.

(Time: 4 days since the Battle of Beacon)

(Location: Taiyang's House in patch)

Ruby was asleep on her bed in her room. She slowly started to open her eyes and lean up from her bed and observers her room. She sees her father Taiyang sitting on a chair, asleep. Ruby groans causing Taiyang to wake up from his sleep.

"Ruby!" Taiyang exclaims as he runs to Ruby. "You're awake!"

Taiyang kneels next to Ruby, Ruby rubs her eyes as she groans.

"What happened?" Ruby asks.

"Your Uncle Qrow and your friend Gyro found you, unconscious. Gyro flew you both outta there though, they brought you home safe." Taiyang explains.

Ruby looked down a bit till she remembered something.

"Wait! Yang! Is she alright?" Ruby asks in worry.

Taiyang only looks down a bit.

"Uh...she's uh...she's gonna be alright...I think she's just...I think its just gonna take some time foe her to get used to things." Taiyang says.

Ruby had a saddened look on her face.

"She's too strong to let this stop her." Taiyang says, trying to reassure Ruby.

Taiyang puts his hand to his face as he sniffles and sighs in relief.

"I'm just glad to have my girls back at home." Taiyang says in relief.

"What happened to the school? And Vale! Were they able to clear out the Grimm?" Ruby frantically asks.

"Things at Vale are under control. But the school? Its...Its not that simple. That thing, whatever it is...Doesn't seem to be dead, don;t get me wrong, you did a number on it. but...it's not disappearing. It's...kind of...frozen. I know that doesn't sound too bad but it keeps attracting more Grimm to the school." Taiyang explains.

There was a bit of silence between Ruby and Taiyang.

"I did what?" Ruby asks in confusion.

"Hmm?" Taiyang says as she looks up at Ruby.

"You said I did a number on it. What do you mean?" Ruby asks her father.

"I...look, that's not important right now, we can talk about it later. Things are just...kind of a mess." Taiyang says.

"Its always a mess." Qrow says.

Both Ruby and Taiyang to see Qrow standing at the entrance to Ruby's door, drinking out of his flask.

"Mind if we have a minute?" Qrow asks Taiyang as he lowers his flask.

"What, I can't stay here?" Taiyang asks in a bit of annoyance.

"Tai, please." Qrow says.

Taiyang stands up as Qrow puts his flask away. Taiyang kisses Ruby on her forehead.

"I'm glad you're alright." Taiyang says happily.

Taiyang starts to leave for the door.

"I'll go make everyone some tea." Taiyang says.

Taiyang looks at Qrow just as he leaves the room. Qrow then walks next to Ruby's bed and pulls up a chair to sit on. He then takes a seat on the chair.

"So...how are you feeling?" Qrow asks.

"Um...I kind of hurt...all over.." Ruby says nervously.

Qrow slightly chuckles.

"That makes sense, after what you did." Qrow says as he crosses his arms.

"You guys keep saying that! That I did something. What are you talking about?" Ruby asks her uncle.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Qrow asks seriously as he leans towards Ruby.

Ruby looks to her left as she remember what she saw before she blacked out.

"I ran up the side of the tower. And when I got to the top, I-" Ruby says as she gasps in shock. "Pyyrha! Sky! Are they...?" Ruby asks in worry.

Qrow only silently looks down.

"There gone..." Qrow says solemnly.

Ruby's eyes widen and start to tear up.

"I-I...I got to the top and I saw Pyrrha and Sky..." Ruby says sadly as tears dropped. "And Cinder..." Ruby says with a bit of anger as she grips her blanket. "And then everything went white."

"Anything else?" Qrow asks.

"I remember...my head hurting." Ruby says sadly.

"The night you met Ozpin, what was the first thing he said to you?" Qrow asks.

"I... I don't know. I think it was something about..." Ruby says as she was cut off by Qrow.

"Silver eyes. That's an extremely rare trait." Qrow says

Ruby looks at Qrow with a bit of confusion.

"So?" Ruby says with a very slight shrug.

"You're special, Ruby. And not in the "Daddy loves his special angel" kind of way. You're special the same way your mother was...Remnant's full of legends and stories, some of them true, some made up. But there's one Oz told me from a very long time ago. Back before Huntsmen, before Kingdoms, it was said that those born with silver eyes were destined to lead the life of a warrior. You see, the creatures of Grimm, the most fearsome monsters mankind had ever encountered, were afraid of those silver-eyed warriors. They were the best of the best. It was said that even a single look from one of these fighters could strike a Grimm down. Heh. It's a ridiculous story." Qrow explains.

"But... you think that I might be..." Ruby says as she looks at Qrow.

"Well, a giant monster is currently frozen on top of Beacon Tower. And you're here, safe in bed." Qrow says as he chuckles.

He gets to his feet and walks over to a window, leaning on the sill and staring outside.

"Wait, wait, how did you know what Ozpin said to me... the night we met?" Ruby asks.

"All those missions I go on... all the times I'm away in some far-off place... it's been for Ozpin. But he's missing now. Something's been set in motion. With Oz gone, I'll have to pick up where he left off." Qrow explains.

"And what could I do? If I'm so special, then I can help, right?" Ruby asks again.

"You really wanna help? Get some rest. You're in no condition to go anywhere right now." Qrow says as he heads for the door. "Besides, our enemy's trail leads all the way to Haven, and the Blues and Reds are now hiding in space. That'd be quite a trip for a pipsqueak like you." Qrow says as he winks at Ruby. " Catch ya later, kiddo."

Qrow leaves the room. Ruby looks out the window, then she looks at a reflection of herself at through the mirror across the room. Ruby then sighs and jumps out of her bed and heads for Yang's room. Ruby quietly opens the door to see Yang looking out the window.

"Yang?" Ruby says.

She waits for a moment, but when she receives no response from Yang, she turns to leave.

"Ruby." Yang says as she sighs.

Ruby turns back around, and Yang turns her head to look at her younger sister, tears now in her eyes. Ruby runs over and hugs her.

"I'm so glad you're okay!' Ruby exclaims.

"But I'm not." Yang says sternly.

Ruby frowns and releases the hug.

"It's all gone - the school, Penny, Pyrrha, 26 and... " Yang trails off as she looks at her severed arm.

"Yang, where are Weiss, Locus, Blake, and Gyro?" Ruby asks.

"Gyro's outside...she's been helping out Coco and Neo rebuild an old house in the scorched land for the last few days...Gyro should be back now..." Yang explains. "And...Weiss's father came for her."

"What? What do you mean?" Ruby asks in worry.

"No one outside of Vale knows what happened here. Before the tower fell, the last thing people saw was attacking innocent people and Grimm destroying the city. Everyone's scared. No one knows who to trust. So, Weiss' father came to take her back to Atlas, where he thinks it's safe. She's gone. " Yang as she doesn't make eye contact with Ruby. "And Locus decided to go go with Weiss...he's working with Ironwood to keep an eye on Weiss...according to Gyro at least..."

"Well, what about-" Ruby was about to ask but was cut off.

"And Blake ran! Sun saw her go. After we got to the city, she just... ran!" Yang says with anger.

"But... why!?' Ruby asks in shock and worry.

"I don't know... and I don't care." Yang says as she looks out the window.

"There has to be a reason she-" Ruby says with a bit of hope, but was shot down by Yang.

"No, there doesn't! Sometimes bad things just happen, Ruby!" Yang says.

"So, what do we do now?" Ruby asks sadly.

"You can do whatever you want. I'm gonna lie here." Yang says as she looks at her missing arm.

"Yang..." Ruby says sadly as she reaches out for her sister.

"Just leave me alone." Yang says sadly.

Ruby slowly leaves the room, but she pauses in the doorway, looking over her shoulder to say one last thing.

"I love you." Ruby says as she leaves.

Ruby leaves the room and head downstairs. She leaves out he front door and looks to towards the shed. She saw Gyro sitting on a large rock without her helmet on. She looked different than the last time Ruby saw her. Her hair was still cyan but it faded red at the end of her hair and here eyes were now a mix of Red and Cobalt. Gyro was looking at an old photo of her and her old squad. Gyro saw Ruby slowly walk towards her.

"Oh! Your finally awake!" Gyro says as she puts the photo away.

"Hey Gyro...how are things going for you?" Ruby asks nervously.

Gyro sighs as she looks away for a second.

"Things have been difficult...Both Coco and Neo took the loss of 26-I mean Sky the hardest...Apparently Sky somehow left a holodisc for Coco and Neo. It contained all of his Journal Entries..." Gyro explains sadly.

"I'm...I'm sorry.." Ruby says sadly as she looks away.

"Hey, don't beat yourself up about it, its not your fault.." Gyro says as she tries to reassure Ruby. "I've been helping them build Neo and Sky's old house again, things are going smoothly, I'd guess about 9 more days and we can get it done." Gyro says with a smile.

Ruby looks at Gyro. Ruby saw that Gyro knew something.

"Gyro...when I climbed to the top of the tower...I saw...I saw Sky throw something on the floor...it was some kind of...orange cube with spikes on it...it made a bright orange light...but when Cinder...Cidner burned them...they were gone..." Ruby says as she tries to recall what happened.

Gyro perked up and looked at Ruby.

"Wait what?" Gyro asks in confusion.

"I said I saw Sky have some orange cube with spikes-" Ruby says but was cut off.

Gyro reached behind her. She pulled out the teleportation grenade Locus gave her a few days before the battle of beacon.

"Is...Is this what you saw?" Gyro asks slowly.

Ruby looks at the teleportation grenade. She remembers seeing the same thing in 26's hand before they were 'killed'. Ruby the slowly nods, causing Gyro to chuckle a bit.

"That son of a bitch..." Gyro says as she looks to the sky.

"What is it?" Ruby asks in confusion.

"This is how we ended up on Remnant on the first place. Its a teleportation grenade." Gyro explains as she tosses the grenade and catches it.

"Wait, if you have this, why haven't you guys left when you had the chance." Ruby asks sadly.

Gyro sighs and faces Ruby.

"Ruby...I'm not the type of girl to leave people in need just die...I swore to protect what I believe is good..Either way..The teleportation grenades that we found are not functioning at 100% efficiently...Meaning that if we had used it...we would just end up anywhere in the universe..." Gyro explains.

"So...theirs still a chance that there still alive." Ruby asks as she looks at gyro.

Gyro chuckles again.

"Heh, of course... I have faith that they'll find their way back.." Gyro says as she smiles again.

Ruby also smiles. Ruby says her farewell to Gyro as she went to back inside. Gyro still sat on the rock as she spoke to herself.

"You crazy son of a bitch 26...you better find your way back...not just for us...but for your planet too..." Gyro says to herself.

(Time: 3 Months since the Battle of Beacon)

(Location: Taiyang's House in Patch)

Ruby steps outside, wearing a backpack, and quietly shuts the front door.

"Hey." Jaune says, grabbing Ruby's attention.

"Hey, Jaune. Haven's a long way to go." Ruby says sheepishly.

"I know. It's the only lead we have" Jaune says.

"Are you sure you want to come along?" Ruby askss.

"The journey will be perilous, and whether we'll find answers at the end is entirely uncertain." Ren says as he walks up to Ruby and Jaune.

"But we wouldn't be here if we weren't up for it." Nora says as she stands next to Ren.

"Then let's get started." Ruby says.

The four begin their long trek, down the road leading away from Taiyang's home. Just as they were out of sight of the house, a snowball lands in front of them. They look to there right to see Gyro with her helmet on and leaning on a tree, she was tossing a snowball into the air and catching it.

"So, when did you plan on telling me about this?" Gyro asks playfully.

"Gyro, don't try to stop us." Jaune says.

"I wasn't going to." Gyro says as she walks in front of the group. "Look, Understand that you want to do this, but at least be careful." Gyro explains.

"Are you..Are you coming with us?" Nora asks.

"I wish...but i'm going to stick around here for now, i'm going to try and help Taiyang around the house, see if i can help Yang feel better, check up on Coco and Neo from time to time...and well...maybe spend some time tracking down my own sister.." Gyro says a bit quietly.

"Oh...well...good luck Gyro.." Ren says.

"Thanks, but I didn't stop you guys just to talk." Gyro says as she reaches behind her.

Gyro gives Ruby some kind of watch of some sort.

"That would be a communication device made by yours truly, if your ever in trouble, call me straight away." Gyro explains.

Ruby puts on the communication device on her wrist.

"Thanks Gyro." Ruby says cheerfully.

"Don't thank me yet, you guys have a long way to go, good luck." Gyro says as she moves out of the way.

The group of four nod, they all say their farewells and parted ways. Gyro watched as the new team make their way to Haven on foot.

"Here's to hoping Pyyrha and Sky are alright.." Gyro thinks to herself as she head back to Taiyang's house.

(Time: Unknown)

(Location: Unknown)

In a bright orange flash, both 26 and Pyyrha appear on the ground. Pyyrha groans while 26 struggles to stand. They both look up to see that they were in some kind of city. Pyrrha had never seen such a large city before. Before the both of them could react, they heard guns cocking.

"Freeze! Don't move if you don't want to be shot!" One of the men in full body armor says as he pointed his rifle at Pyrrha and 26.

Pyrrha and 26 raises their arms. Slowly, they turn around to see men with full body armor, they had air assault helmets and their visors were blue, while there rest of their armor were white and their secondary colors where different.

"The president would like to have a word with you two!" One of the men say.

"The president?" Pyrrha says she she looks at 26.

"What are you guys stupid or something?" The man with the orange secondary colors says.

"Lay off Bitters, they don't look like thier from here, one of them at least doesn't." The man with the blue secondary colors says.

Pyrrha looks at 26 again in confusion, he looks back as he shrugs in confusion too, he then motions his head towards the men.

"Where are we?" Pyrrha asks.

"Your on Chours, how have you not heard of it." The man in the orange secondary colors says.

The End for Now!!

A/N:

Holy hell that was a long chapter, but it finishes off where Volume three ended. Anyways there will be a sequel to this but I'm going to wait till volume five is finished for RWBY. I know I still left so many unanswered questions but that was intentional, majority of them will be answered when the sequel comes out, for now I'm going to be working on a RWBY chibi version featuring Gyro, Locus, and 26. Okay, now I'm going to help explain something, and that would be 26's or Sky's semblance.

26's or Sky's semblance is going to be called Reminiscence (Yeah go figure it has to do with the title.)

Reminiscence works by Sky creating Spectors (that's what I'll be calling them in the future) of the people he remembers. Like Neo, it's easy to tell when he will have a Spector or Spectors active by looking at his eye colors. Though the downside of his semblance is that he could only create two Spectors that only last for 40 seconds and consumes a lot of Aura. The Spectors can only be in the shape of people who are deceased and who were close to 26.

Anyways that's 26's semblance, I personally feel like it's pretty unique compared to others I've seen. I hope everyone enjoyed "A Home Coming" and remember, there will be a sequel soon, but for now, I'll be making a RWBY chibi version as a filler story, perhaps I'll answer a few questions that weren't answered in the main story, who knows. Alright that's enough of me rambling on, have a good day everyone and thanks for reading! Cheers :D
