Nora opened her eyes, she could see the stars above her, they were moving quickly across the sky, she was being carried. There was a loud thumping following her, she could make out the figures of Jaune and Pyrrha sprinting alongside her, her carrier must be very strong to be able to keep up with Jaune and Pyrrha, Alcatraz! Nora looked up to see, a girl? Her long blue hair was flowing in the wind, Nora leaned back to see what was following them, a thing that looked very similar to Alcatraz, except it was much bigger, at least three times the size, its skin was dark green and torn, it was extremely muscular and its mouth was stitched shut, it didn't have a left arm, instead, three tentacles wrapped around each other to form a makeshift arm. Oddly the beast didn't seem angry, its large purple eyes seemed forlorn and sorrowful.

"What is that?" Nora asked, still somewhat dazed, unable to register the threat.

"Oh? You're awake, that's Delta, the strongest of the Sentinels" Lia said, panting "he isn't evil, please don't try to attack him, Omega sent him after us but he can't help but follow orders." The running continued for a long time, weaving in and out of trees, then Delta bulldozing them, the abused tree bark snapping and cracking under the force of the beast. Lia spoke up, "We can stop running now." Everyone stopped abruptly, including Delta, "that should be far enough to trick Omega into thinking you're on his side." Delta's eyes lit up and Lia rubbed his snout "you did good, now go on home" Lia said with a smile as she kissed the beast's nose. Delta turned and lumbered back through the woods.

"Who stitched his mouth shut?" Pyrrha asked as the beast melted into the shadows of the trees.

"He did," Lia replied, "he wanted to be an observer, he believed that he couldn't respect the true beauty of the world if he got himself too involved with the affairs of others, and so he stitched his mouth shut."

"That's, a bit excessive, don't you think?" Jaune asked, Nora suddenly began to pant as she realised what had just happened, panic overtaking her and hysteria ready to pounce, with a swift movement Lia hit Nora on the back of the neck, knocking her out, cold.

"Why'd you do that?" Jaune asked Lia aggressively.

Lia sighed, "Grimm are attracted to negativity, if she got all panicky now, every Grimm on this side of the planet would come for us." Lia began to walk, Pyrrha and Jaune followed closely.

"So... Lia was it?" Pyrrha asked.

"Yup" Lia replied with a smile.

"Is that rifle on your back your weapon?" Pyrrha enquired, eyeing the silver sniper on Lia's back.

"That? God no, I hate sniper rifles, this is a tranq gun" Lia said with a giggle, "my weapons are those two SMGs on my belt, Amplitude and Frequency.

"What happened to your arm?" Pyrrha asked.

Lia looked at her left arm with a sad look on her face, "Omega tore it off."

"Oh my-, sorry for asking" Pyrrha said apologetically.

Lia smiled at the spartan "it's fine, you didn't know, and I suppose it's only a matter of time before someone asks about a bloody mechanical arm, ha ha!" Lia turned forward, through the trees, Beacon could be seen. "That was pretty quick for six miles!"

"We really ran that far?" Jaune asked, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"Time flies when you're running from a gargantuan Grimm" Lia said with a giggle.

"Well, we need to have a word with Ozpin" Jaune said as his gaze moved on to Nora.

"Yeah" Pyrrha said, her voice a little shaky, "this is gonna be tough." Tears had formed in Jaune and Pyrrha's eyes, Ren...

-Beacon-

Blake, Alcatraz and Weiss sat in the library, despite it being past midnight, and Lala and Melody had gone to bed.

"Omega... Damn" Weiss said, her face a mix of intrigue and disgust.

"I should have warned-" Alcatraz began, he was cut off by the sound of the library doors being kicked open, everyone looked in the direction of the double doors, the blue haired Sentinel stood there, Nora cradled in her arms; Alcatraz's eyes widened.

"Long time no see, Alpha!" Lia cheered as she placed Nora in the seat next to the Grimm.

"Lambda, what happened to Nora?" Alcatraz asked, eyes narrowed.

"Omega..." Lia began, stopping to think of what to say, Alcatraz's eyes widened with dread pushing them open, "he killed Ren." The room fell into a deafening silence, Weiss' hands went to her mouth, Blake shivered, holding her head in her hands, Alcatraz's face turned into a snarl.

"Omega has to die" Alcatraz rasped.

"Now now, Omega had to have had a reason to kill-" Lia began, she was interrupted by Alcatraz wrapping his claws around her neck and lifting her off the floor.

"You bitch, you always side with that twisted monster" Alcatraz snarled, increasing his grip on Lia's neck.

"Alcatraz! Attacking her won't solve anything" Blake shouted, Alcatraz looked at Lia, whose face had turned purple and she was weakly struggling. Alcatraz dropped her.

"Explain. Now." Alcatraz said with a venomous look on his face. Lia lay on the floor and regained her breath.

"Where... do I start?" Lia said as she prepared to explain what happened when she got to JNPR and when they ran from Delta.

-the ruined facility-

Omega pulled the tranquilizer dart from his neck and looked down at Ren's dead body, he turned to Ohm, who was busy poking the Nympha's eye socket.

"Hey Ohm, eat this guy, he'll start stinking up the facility if we leave him here and it'd be a waste to throw him out" Omega said heartlessly.

"Kay!" Ohm sang, two white nevermore wings sprouted from her back and unfurled, she then fluttered over to Ren's body and sank her teeth into his neck as her wings returned to her body.

"Getting used to your ability?" Omega asked with a grin, Ohm turned to look at Omega, a piece of flesh resting in her mouth and she nodded erratically with a manic grin, then returned to her meal. The doors to the large room were pushed open; Delta lumbered in, then moved to the room he was originally sleeping in before Omega awoke him and lay on his stomach, and watched the two at work with his large, purple eyes. Omega was dragging a tank of fire dust across the room, "little help, Delta?" Omega asked, smiling at the giant Sentinel, who replied by narrowing his eyes at Omega, Omega stopped what he was doing and walked up to Delta, "oh yeah, I forgot, you hate me, don't you?" Delta slowly nodded, never once breaking his venomous eye contact with the smaller Sentinel. "Just keep quiet, that should be easy for you, shouldn't it?" Omega grinned with a sinister chuckle, "I mean, you did just stare at Theta as they executed her in cold blood ten years ago!" Delta's hand clenched into a fist, but he did not strike, he knew very well of the power that Ohm possessed and so he pulled his gargantuan form off the cold metal floor and lumbered across the room; he walked through the large metal arch that was the entrance to the huge room, disappearing into the dark corridor, shedding a single tear as he left the room.

"Omega, I'm done!" Ohm shouted, Omega turned from the entrance to see Ohm sitting next to a completely bare skeleton with bloody and torn clothing all around it.

"You didn't leave any for me?" Omega said sarcastically.

"You got the best bit though" Ohm countered.

"Fair point" Omega agreed with a grin.

"Why can't we kill Delta?" Ohm asked, playing with Ren's collarbone.

"We could, it would just take a while and now that we have killed one of them, Alpha's gonna start rallying them up to kill us, so we need to get this done" Omega replied, getting back to dragging the fire dust across the room.

"What's my job again?" Ohm asked.

Omega grinned, "to become a dragon." Omega hooked up the fire dust canister to a generator, the facility groaned and the lights came to life, the long dead machines breathing once more, Omega laughed manically, his voice booming from his lungs, "I AM OMEGA, THE END OF ALL THINGS... And there will be retribution."

-Beacon-

Lia had finished explaining how she and JNPR escaped from the facility.

"So Delta's alive, what of Theta?" Alcatraz asked, Lia shrugged.

"I didn't encounter her, but that doesn't mean she isn't there, she's real good at hiding, being a living semblance and all that" Lia said with her signature giggle.

"You mentioned that the clone of Ruby's name was Ohm" Alcatraz said, "does she have his secret semblance?"

"Most likely, although I can't think of why he'd need such a servant" Lia said, fiddling with one of the gyros in her arm.

"I remember Omega saying something about a dragon when Melody attacked him, what did he mean, dragon?" Weiss asked.

Alcatraz's eyes widened "that's... Her greatest form, I mean dragons are super powerful semblances, meaning if she maximised her power she could transform into a giant beast with an immense amount of power, however she would need a long time to recover from that kind of energy usage, it's one of the things that the facility was researching, that would explain her eye, it's a dragon's eye, that's why she hides it. So that must mean... Ohm could be a catalyst, he could be using her to create a dragon."

"That's ridiculous" Lia retorted.

"Give me a better explanation you stupid bit-" Alcatraz began, but he got distracted as Nora woke up, her eyes filled with tears, she got up, her breathing still shaky.

"I... I... I'm g-going to bed" Nora stuttered, on the verge of bursting into tears; she walked out of the room. The four sat in silence for a few minutes.

"I'm going to go see Ruby, whose with me?" Blake asked.

"I'll come" Weiss answered, Alcatraz and Lia stood up, a silent compliance.

As Alcatraz left the room on all fours he was reminded of the last time he walked out of the library, Nora was giggling on his back and he was smiling, but now Alcatraz didn't feel any such emotions, quite the opposite.

"Lambda?" Alcatraz asked.

"Please Alcatraz, call me Lia" Lia requested.

"Fine, Lia?" Alcatraz asked again, a little agitated.

"What's up?" Lia asked.

"Where'd you get that arm and the armour?"

"I made them" Lia said with a giggle, "I mean I am Lambda, the smartest of the Sentinels."

The group entered the infirmary, Ruby looked up from her sitting position to see the group, Yang spun her chair around to see them as well, Ruby caught Alcatraz's gaze with an uncharacteristically venomous look.

"You" Ruby said getting out of her bed and approaching Alcatraz, both her injured body and Yang attempted to stop her but she shrugged them both off, she stood about a metre away from him, looking him directly in the eyes; "about seven years ago, you attacked me, didn't you?"

Alcatraz's eyes widened at the realisation of what he had done, his entire body began to shake and he fell to his knees, staring at the floor, "oh god, I'm so sorry, please forgive me Omega made me do it!" Alcatraz shouted, tears forming in his eyes.

"I don't forgive you," Ruby said, Alcatraz looked up, "because it's not your fault, your aura feels nothing like the one seven years ago, but this monster Omega? He reeks of it." Ruby put out her hand, "prove you're not like him and help me to hunt down this evil creature." Alcatraz took Ruby's hand and they both grinned.

-three days later-

Petros sat in the bullhead as his scroll beeped, he took it out to see a text from his brother:

"Hey bro, hope you like the new magnetic return system for your ThunderFairy, thanks for helping me move my stuff, and you and Yang should work out, anyway cheers and say hi to Alca-dude for me"

Petros rolled his eyes as the bullhead approached Beacon.

-three weeks later-

The shattered moon rose above the abandoned facility, Omega sat in the main room and Ohm lay sleeping in Delta's old containment cell, Omega smiled, thanking the facility's radar scrambler for covering him for so long against Ozpin's bullhead patrols. Cardin Winchester walked into the room with a large sack over his shoulder. He placed the sack on the floor.

"Okay Omega I got what you asked for" he said, Omega looked at the sack.

"Many thanks friend, I can now assure I won't kill your mother, now leave and forget everything or I will make you regret it" Omega said with a grin, Cardin scurried away with a whimper. Omega turned to the sack and opened it, revealing its contents, Melody lay, in her pyjamas, inside staring back at Omega with one eye angrily, her hands and feet were tied together and there was a large amount of tape covering her mouth, Omega picked her out and threw her onto the floor, Ohm suddenly fluttered over on a pair of white nevermore wings, she pulled out a revolver from her belt and placed it on Melody's head, Melody's eye widened in fear.

"There's only one fate for you" Ohm said with a malicious grin across her face. Electricity bounced around Melody's form, a lightning cloud formed, Ohm stepped back as Melody disappeared into the cloud.

"Awesome, a dragon" Omega said in awe, a pair of blue scaly wings unfurled and blew the cloud away, revealing a bipedal, two winged, long tailed, cyan eyed, sapphire scaled dragon, standing twice the height of Omega it lowered its head to screech in Omega's face, Omega and Ohm approached Melody's scaly form, Omega grinned, "it begins."
