Racer: By the time this EVENTUALLY gets out, dad has gotten the first chapter of "The Bat and the Monkey King: Arkham Asylum" out.

Jesse: And hopefully, dad can get this chapter out. Anyway, it's almost time for the finale of Borderlands: Remnant Minds Volume 2!

Racer: Maybe. Anyway, disclaimers!

Jesse: *Ahem* Borderlands and all related elements are owned by 2K Games and Gearbox Software. Persona, Megami Tensei and all related characters are owned by Atlus Co, Ltd. RWBY and all elements are owned by Rooster Teeth Productions and the ate Monty Oum.

Both: Let's get started!

[Vale Public Pavilion]

[No P.O.V.]

After crashing in the middle of downtown Vale, our heroes were surrounded by a horde of Grimm. Including Beowolves, Ursai and a massive King Taijitu. Our heroes having their individual weapons drawn, all eleven of them in a circle, staring down the Creatures of Grimm. Right as the King Taijitu let out a mighty roar, signaling the Grimm to begin the attack.

"HOLD THEM HERE!" Sean ordered, as Ruby planted Crescent Rose on the ground, kicking a Grimm away, as Hailie suplexed a Beowolf, snapping its neck. While that happened, Sean got knocked to the ground, and barely dodging the snapping maw of the Beowolf. "Piss! Off! FIDO!" Sean yelled, as the Beowolf began growling at the Vault Hunter. Sean, thinking quickly, headbutting the Grimm, grabbing his revolver, and blowing the Beowolf's head off. Just as another Beowolf leaped at the young Vault Hunter, only for Taylor to suddenly appear in a small puff of smoke, kicking the Beowolf so hard, the head came off.

"Sean, you alright?" Taylor asked, rushing towards his brother, as Sean got up.

"Yeah, but, did you just teleport like Deadpool?" Sean asked, as Bruticus slammed the head of an Ursa into the ground.

"Nah, more like Nightcrawler." Taylor replied, turning his head to the camera, "And yes people, before you ask, teleportation IS my Semblance." Taylor added, as Sean just sighed.

'We really need to set some ground rules on fourth-wall breaking.' Sean thought in deadpan, as Lance troopers began descending onto the battlefield, helping to evacuate civilians from the hot zone, some of those troops being Joker and the Phantoms.

"Mona! You, Queen and Noir take out those Ursai! Panther, Skull and Fox! You're with me! Oracle, stay with the ship and help Ajax coordinate the defensive efforts!" Joker ordered, as he kicked a Beowolf in the head, decapitating it.

"Well, glad to see the cavalry's here." Sean joked, as he looked over to see Nora flying on Magnhild.

"Nora Smash!" Nora yelled, slamming Magnhild on the head of the King Taijitu, killing the beast, just as Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren followed close behind.

"Guys! Glad to see you join the battle!" Kord yelled, slamming his rocket launcher into the head of a Creep, as a small platoon of Lance soldiers leaping onto a Deathstalker, firing armor-piercing round into it, killing the Grimm.

"Bruticus! Activate Brimstone Protocol! Code 16-33X!" Sean ordered, as Bruticus changed his weapons from his usual miniguns, digistructing two pairs of plasma cannons, two on his arms, and two on his shoulders, and began to fire bursts of concentrated plasma to several Creatures of Grimm, disintegrating them immediately.

"Holy shit!" Matthias yelled, as Sun and Neptune joined the fray.

"Nobody move! Junior detectives!" Sun exclaimed, showing off his badge.

"We have badges so you know it's official!" Neptune added, as Talia groaned in annoyance.

"For God's sake! There's a battle going on!" Delilah yelled, as she palm-struck an Ursa in the chest, just as a fleet of Atlesian dropships came in, dropping off multiple units of Atlesian Knight-200 troops to join the battle.

"Taylor! James just dropped off a lot of AK-200 units!" Ajax said on Taylor's ECHO comm.

"I noticed." Taylor deadpanned, "Look, you and Futaba coordinate the securing of the plaza. Make sure that all civilians are evacuated from the hot zone!" Taylor added, as another Bullhead, this one dropping off Professor Port, and Team CFVY to join the battle.

[RWBY Volume 2 OST: "Caffeine" By Jeff Williams, feat. Casey Lee Williams and Lamar Hall]

Yatsuhashi dropped down, swinging his massive greatsword, taking out many Grimm, Velvet and Fox begin to respectively kick and punch the Grimm, Fox later unleashing a combo of slashes and punches, making a spiked Ursa explode, impaling the nearby Grimm with its spikes.

"Ouch, those spikes aren't just for show then." Kord said, wincing.

"Nice hustle, Fox. Good job." Coco complimented, after giving Fox a light pat on the butt, before walking towards a large Beowolf, "You just destroyed my favorite clothing store." Coco added, spitting, "Prepare to die." She finished, as a Beowolf swung at her. But Coco was quick enough to swat it away, and she proceeded to kick it in the crotch, following up by slamming her bag onto the Grimm's head, unaware of the Boarbatusk about to gouge her on its tusks, until Talia jumped in front of the Grimm, kicking it in the snout, knocking it on its back.

"Back off, pork chop." Talia quipped, before blasting it with Cavalier.

"Thanks for the help double trouble." Coco said, winking at the young Vault Hunter, as everyone resumed fighting, Velvet reaching behind her to open her box. "Hey, come on, you just spent all semester building that up. Don't waste it here." Coco advised her Faunus partner, the former transforming her handbag into a giant minigun, tearing apart the advancing Grimm, including a Deathstalker and three Nevermores.

"Damn my useless lesbian brain." Talia muttered, causing Matthias to chuckle at his sister's expense, "Love you too bro."

"Incoming: Goodwitch is here." Bruticus reported, as indeed, Professor Goodwitch was walking up towards the battlefield, knocking two Grimm aside, before closing the opening with her Semblance.

[End OST]

"Well, that was a close one." Delilah remarked as two Lance soldiers were escorting Torchwick to a Lance gunship before being stopped by two Atlesian officers.

"General Ironwood request that Roman Torchwick be brought to his ship, ASAP." One Atlesian soldier said.

"Well, General McAllister gave us orders to take this rotten piece of Grimm shit to a facility outside the city." One of the Lance soldiers rebuked, as Taylor walked up to the scene.

"Look, I'll sort it out with General Ironwood in a bit, but, I have full custody of the prisoner until such time." Taylor explained, his ire becoming more obvious.

"We, insist." The second Atlesian growled, as Taylor received a call on his Scroll.

"Taylor, if I can alleviate your concern, I will allow your troops to constantly guard Torchwick." Ironwood said, much to the shock of the Atlesian troops.

"B-but General Ironwood-!" The first Atlesian soldier began to reply, before Ironwood cut him off.

"I will NOT hear any arguments! The Lance have the full confidence of myself, as well as the rest of the Atlesian military. We're working together for the security of the Vytal Festival." Ironwood chided, "Am I clear, trooper?"

"Yes... sir..." The second Atlesian growled, before the Lance soldiers entered the Atlesian gunship, one Atlesian Knight grabbing Torchwick and leading the Lance soldiers on board.

[Beacon landing platform]

After the battle, Sean, team RWBY, Zwei and the others were sitting on the edge of Beacon's landing platform, overlooking the City of Vale, as Lance fighters performed a sweep of the city perimeter.

"Well, we did it." Yang said, exhausted.

"We did it." Blake agreed, as Delilah cracked her neck.

"If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm gonna be seriously disappointed." Weiss complained, as Kord cracked his knuckles.

"A two-headed snake quite literally crushed a bakery. Hate to say it love, but I wouldn't count on extra credit." Matthias said, trying to comfort Weiss.

"Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we still don't even know why they did this, or who that mystery girl was." Ruby added.

"Unfortunately, not every story has a neat and happy ending." Delilah replied.

"Plus, I get the nagging feeling that, what with the Lost Legion now being a player, something bigger's going on." Sean mused.

"Still, while we might not have all the answers, but we do have a lot of dangerous people behind bars. And I think that's something we could be proud of." Blake said, causing the rest of the group to smile.

"Yeah! And if anyone tries something like this again, we'll be there to stop them." Ruby said excitedly.

"Amen to that, Rubes!" Hailie agreed, as Zwei lied down, wanting a bellyrub, to which Hailie gladly provided.

"Yay, teamwork, camaraderie, good guys, go team, alright, good job..." Yang said, tiredly lying on her back, "So, what now?" She asked.

"I suggest training for the tournament, but I guess we have that covered at this point." Weiss replied.

"So then..." Blake trailed off, wanting someone to answer.

"Uhh... Time for bed?" Ruby suggested, everyone giving various responses of agreement.

[Lance Aerial Vessel "Archangel"]

While our heroes prepared to hit the hay, Taylor was busy trying to not slam his fist through a wall, as he, Ironwood and Ozpin had a meeting with the Vale council.

"Ozpin?" Asked a Councilman, when Ozpin didn't respond, the Councilman proceeded to yell the headmaster's name, "Ozpin!"

"Yes, Councilman." Ozpin replied, after turning his chair towards his desk.

"You've left us no choice! The Vytal Festival tournament cannot be broadcast, let alone held, if we are unable to ensure the safety of the citizens." The Councilman blustered, as Ozpin sipped from his cup, Taylor deciding to intervene.

"Councilman, if you'll permit me to interrupt?" Taylor asked, keeping up a respectful attitude.

"Of course, General McAllister, seeing as your soldiers were instrumental in helping to secure the Breach." The Councilman replied with a small cough.

'Thank you, Professor Ozpin couldn't have known an attack of this magnitude would occur." Taylor said, trying to defend Beacon's headmaster, "The recent actions of the Lost Legion only emboldened the White Fang to perform such drastic measures. Not to mention, eleven of Beacon's finest students were quite literally, at the epicenter of the Breach, including my two siblings."

"Ah yes, Sean and, Hailie, I believe you said?" The Councilman asked.

"Yes, Councilman. In any event, thanks to the quick response of Teams JNPR and CFVY, supported by my troops, we were able to secure the site." Taylor replied, "So, before you go and try to re-evaluate Ozpin's position as Headmaster of Beacon, please remember, it WAS his students that managed to end whatever schemes the White Fang had." Taylor finished, feeling mentally exhausted.

'Hopefully, this'll buy Oz more time.' Taylor thought, as the Councilman spoke.

"I, suppose, you have a point." The Councilman replied, "Still, we have reached out to the Atlas Council, as well as the Lance's Tribunal, and have decided that best course of action is to appoint General Ironwood as co-head of security for the event." The Councilman finished, making Taylor's muscles tense slightly.

"I was, not aware of the Tribunal's decision on the matter." Taylor said, his voice barely showing a growl.

"In any case, thank you Councilman. Our Kingdom is happy to lend as many troops as it takes to ensure that the event runs as smoothly and safely as possible." Ironwood replied, "I hope that this decision doesn't inconvenience you, Taylor?"

"Actually, yes. Yes it does." Taylor replied, bluntly, "I had assumed that the Lance, and ONLY the Lance was hired for the job of ensuring the security of the Vytal Festival."

"Well, I-" Ironwood began to say before the Councilman interrupted.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, General McAllister, and, we should not have, uh, paid, for the Tribunal to keep you out of the loop, but we felt it was for the best." The Councilman said, as Taylor's fury began to grow further.

"Will that be all?" Ozpin asked, noticing Taylor's growing anger.

"Yes, it is." The Councilman replied, before his video feed disappears, leaving the video feeds of Ironwood and Ozpin alone with Taylor.

"Taylor, it was-" Was all Ironwood got out, before Taylor's rage finally broke free.

"WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT JAMES?!" Taylor screamed, taking both Ironwood and Ozpin by surprise, "Not only do you undermine MY authority as head of security for the Vytal Festival, but you undermine Oz's authority as well! I swear, you have absolutely NO sense of self-control on these matters!"

"Look, I didn't want to go behind your back, but you've seen my reports, and-" Ironwood replied, before Taylor cut him off again.

"Yeah, and they're a load of Goliath shit!" Taylor roared, "Just because I haven't been a part of all this for as long as you have, doesn't mean that you can treat me as a damn child!" He added, before taking a breath, "You're a good man James, but you need to learn some damn restraint. We done here?"

"Yes, I do believe we are." Ozpin replied calmly.

"Then if you'll excuse me, I need to play catch-up with my family." Taylor said, cutting the video feed, sighing as he placed his hands on the terminal.

'I swear, he'll be the death of me.' Taylor thought.

"Sir, Commander Kurusu has reported multiple Legion ships hovering several hundred kilometers away from Mountain Glenn." A Lance messenger reported, walking onto the bridge.

"Thank you, Corporal, have Lieutenant Commander Evergreen take a look, perhaps she'll be able to make sense of this mess." Taylor ordered, facing the messenger.

"Yes sir!" The corporal replied, giving a quick salute, before exiting the bridge.

'Hopefully Crystal can figure out why the hell Mountain Glenn has become quite the hotspot as of late.' Taylor thought, as he watched the city below.

[Downtown Vale]

[Cinder P.O.V.]

After everything was said and done, I had Emerald and Mercury meet me at a rooftop overlooking the city. And, like the loyal little pets they are, they obliged.

"All in all, I call today a success." I noted, although Emerald and Mercury didn't seem as sure.

"Those stupid kids really made a mess of things." Emerald replied, and I honestly can't say I disagree.

'Although it almost pains me to admit it, she has a point, what with the Lance, and now this Lost Legion throwing a serious wrench into things.' I thought, a small frown adorning my features.

"Yea. A lot of Faunus didn't make it out the tunnels. You still think the remaining White Fang's gonna listen to us?" Mercury asked, and, much like Emerald, I couldn't exactly disagree.

"No, but they'll listen to me." Spoke the ever familiar voice of Adam Taurus, and I was thankful to know that at least THIS pawn was still on the board.

[RWBY: Grimm Eclipse OST: "Lusus Naturae (Instrumental Version)" By Jeff Williams]

The camera cuts to an unknown island in the middle of the sea, zooming in on a mysterious complex, as an older male voice speaks.

"Computer, prepare the devices, and send out the droids, it's time to acquire some, more test subjects." Said an older, almost refined male voice, as the camera cuts to black, and bold text appears.
