A/N: This takes place around during the events of 'Heroes and Monsters'. I'd like to thank Lord Maximus for his help with this chapter. Enjoy.

Atlasian Airship:

the Dragon flies past the hijacked Atlesian Airship, as Ruby looks on, with the surrounding Griffons roaming the skies. A Griffon lands on the airship, but Ruby easily cuts it down with Crescent Rose, causing to disintegrate into black particles. But suddenly, she hears a snap, turning to see Neopolitan, now changing into her standard attire with a wave of light washing over her from bottom to top, as she winks after taking a picture of Ruby, sending it to a certain crime lord with the following text:

"Guess Who?"

"Oh, you can not be serious!" Said Roman as having realized his old foe is interfering yet again, the wanted criminal quickly picks up Melodic Cudgel and walks up to the top of the airship.


Beacon:

Right outside of Beacon's dining hall, Blake Belladonna backs away from the shattered window, staring in horror at her old partner.

"Running away again? Is that what you've become, my love? A coward?" Asked Adam.

"Why are you doing this?" Asked Blake in horror.

"You and I were going to change the world, remember? We were destined to light the fires of revolution!" Said Adam as he draws his sword and prepares to stab an Atlas student in the chest. "Consider this... a spark."

Blake was about to run in and clash her blade with Adam's, but, before she even knew it something fell down from the sky and locked onto her body. And before she even knew it, she was in the Peace armor. She already had a dozen questions zip through her mind of how this armor was active and came to her. But she knew that she only had seconds at best, to stop Adam from snuffing out another life. At lightning fast speeds before Blake even knew it the armor already rocketed in, pulled out her blade as she clashes with Adam's as she pushes him away from the student, and they stand with their blades locked.

"I'm... not... running." Said Blake.

"So you think since you have on a little suit of armor, you think you can beat me now, my love?" Asked Adam.

Blake was about to punch Adam with one of her free hands, but Adam caught the punch with one of his own free hands. To Blake's shock, he was not only holding the armors super strength punch back, but was also starting to slowly crush it with an overpowering strength of his own as he was smiling.

"I must say, your new lovers armor is definitely impressive..." Said Adam as he headbutted Blake with unnatural strength sending her tumbling back several feet.

"That's why I myself needed a little boost in power to combat these armors... But what I can't seem to understand is, how can these suits of his be activated if he's in prison? After that little massacre I framed..." Said Adam smiling, slowly walking over to Blake as she stared at him with a face of shock.

"You mean... That massacre-"

"Was all my doing... I just borrowed Cinders little illusionist for a while... I'm guessing he already somehow broke out, what a shame. I was actually planning to make his life much worse... Hehehe..." Said Adam taking a step closer.

"Why... WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS!? If your going to take your anger out on anyone, take it out on me! Double D has nothing to do with this!" Yelled Blake as she started to power up the plasma blasters of her suit.

"On the contrary... My love, I will make you suffer for your betrayal, but not before I make that human suffer... Just to hurt you, and make you understand what it's like to lose a loved one..." Said Adam stepping even closer.

Back outside the Beacon grounds, all the Young Hunters including Eddy, Weiss, KRJ, CVFY, SSSN, Ren, Nora, Fonce, Azule, HERO, and ABRN who all stood before Evil Tim. Evil Tim stared down at the young Hunters as they prepared their weapons to fight against him. The dark figure stood there and stared at them for a few more seconds, until he held out his hand and summoned a six foot long black scythe with mystic symbols surrounding it and surging with glowing purple energy.

"None of you shall see the end of this day..." Said Evil Tim menacingly as he started to slowly march forward with Bad Attitude by Deuce started playing. None of the Hunters in training wasted any time as Coco, Neptune, Sun, Kevin, Scarlet, Ren, Azule, Opal, Harvy, and Eddy started firing their weapons at the monster as all the bullets and lazer blasts were simply bouncing off of him like they were nothing. As he was still keeping the same slow marching pace he had before. As he was still slowly marching, a Paladin came out of nowhere, as it landed on the ground with a crash catching everybody's attention, except for Evil Tim who was still marching forward. Never taking his eye off of his enemies.

"Oh, boy..." Said Velvet as the Hunters were slowly backing off as Tim just walked closer. The Paladin looked around, as it found it's new target. The giant mech ran towards Evil Tim and attempted to crush him. But without even looking, Evil Tim slashed his dark scythe, the Harbinger and sliced the giant mech in half with little effort as he still marched forward.

"NOTHINGS WORKING!" Yelled Rachel.

"We just have to hit him harder!" Yelled Weiss as everyone kept on firing. None of the projectiles doing anything against the demon.

"Your world will fall, it will be ruled by it's new master..." Evil Tim just kept walking closer as Eddy yelled.

"That's it! I'm going in!" Yelled Eddy as everyone stopped firing and Eddy came charging in.

"Eddy! Wait!" Yelled Velvet, but as he came in contact with the monster, he stopped marching as Eddy used his Swordfish to viciously slash as Evil Tim. But like the energy beams and bullets his blows deflected right off of him. But that didn't stop Eddy as he slashed at Evil Tim viciously, Evil Tim simply kicked Eddy away several feet.

"EDDY!" Yelled Weiss as she, Fonce, Fox, and Ren dashed in and all tried to attack Evil Tim. All of them jumping around the dark magician as they were slashing his face, back, legs, arms, and anywhere else they could hit. But it was all still ineffective against the giant as he lifted his scythe and swung it sending all of his attackers back. Arslan and Rachel then pounced at Evil Tim as Arslan tried to attack the monster with powerful blows while Rachel was slashing at him. But, as Arslan was about to land another hit at Evil Tim. He simply caught the punch with one hand and broke her arm without any effort throwing her away.

"ARSLAN!" Yelled Reese as she tried to attack Evil Tim next. And as for Rachel, she tried her best to slash at Evil Tim's face with her claw gauntlets. But he just grabbed her by the head and slammed her face against the ground three times, then tossing her aside like she was nothing. He looked over seeing Reese flying right at him, without any hesitation he slashed his Harbinger as the girl went flying off of her airboard... With her legs flying in different directions...

As she landed, everyone stared in horror as Evil Tim looked back at them.

"You call yourselves warriors? I call you poultry..."

"I think I tickled, Plank..."

"My god, Reese!" Yelled Bolin as he and Nadir ran to help their severally injured teammate. Evil Tim turned his head back to the main group distant from him, as he was about to walk forward. But his walk was interrupted as Coal jumped in and started to used his trumpet to hold the monster back. All the while Yatsuhashi dashed at the monster with his massive blade. As he was about to strike Evil Tim, he just caught it with his free hand and shoved the heavy hitter away. Harvy was the next to run in as he started blasting Tim with his lightning dust from his gauntlets.

Evil Tim looked over at Coal, unphased by his trumpet as he dashed over to him and kicked him sending him flying and splitting a tree in two. Evil Tim once again looked back at the main group as his eye started to crackle with power, as Rolf who was in the group looked closer. He realized what was happening and yelled:

"Get out of the way!" As he pushed everyone he could get ahold of out of the way as a purple concentrated beam of energy annihilated the ground that they were standing on moments before.

(BOOM!)

"Scatter!" Yelled Coco as all the young Hunters began to scatter.

"Uhh... This is bad!" Yelled Neptune as he was running and Eddy stood next to Weiss.

"I'm going to try and freeze his legs to stop him from moving!" Yelled Weiss as she charged at Evil Tim and Eddy held his hand out.

"Weiss wait-!" As Evil Tim saw her, he swung his scythe in his attempt to cut her in half. But the heiress managed to dodge the blow as she successfully froze the dark figures legs to the ground and get away. Evil Tim merely laughed as his hand ignited with purple fire.

"Wait, what is he... WAIT! DON'T!" Yelled Eddy as Evil Tim brought his fist to the ground as it created a massive explosion that echoed throughout all of Beacon.

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!)

Else where in Beacon, King Sam looked back up from his battle with Ed-Zilla as he smiled.

"It seems like Evil Tim is already having fun with your friends..." Said King Sam as he picked up Ed-Zilla by his throat and tossed him into a building. The theme Sick of it by Skillet started to play. Ed-Zilla simply looked back up as he roared at King Sam.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" Yelled King Sam as the two charge at each other and started fighting once more. King Sam was already landing massively powerful blows on Ed with his giant fists, already throwing him to the ground as he was viciously pummeling him. But King Sam stopped as Ed-Zilla got a look at King Sam's soft underside as he grabbed ahold of Sam by his throat and tossed him through a building that was nearby. King Sam jumped back out of the building he was just tossed into and charged at Ed-Zilla who already got back on his feet as the two went at it again.

King Sam was using his claws to create large and deep gashes on Ed-Zilla, but Ed-Zilla finally used his head as he head butted King Sam sending him back several dozen feet. King Sam just picked himself back up as he looked over at Ed with a monstrous smile. As he let out a horrible roar himself. Ed-Zilla charged at King Sam once more but was stopped as King Sam used his massive tail to grab Ed-Zilla by the throat and hold him above the ground. Sneering as he balled up his hands into fists and started pummeling Ed-Zilla as Ed-Zilla was doing whatever he could to get free. Sam was still viciously pummeling Ed-Zilla as the monster tried to struggle free of the other monsters hold. King Sam was still slamming his fists against Ed-Zilla's stomach, but was stopped as something big and strong came flying down from the sky and knocked both monsters to the ground. As Sam and Ed both looked up, they saw the beast that caused the tremors earlier... It was the Dragon. The Dragon stood there as it roared at both other monsters.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" King Sam smiled as he said.

"I guess this is an all out monster brawl!" Yelled Sam as he quickly got up and punched the Grimm Dragon into another building. But Sam was distracted by that little victory as Ed-Zilla grabbed Sam by his tail and started to swing him around into the ground and nearby surrounding buildings.

"What the-!? AAAAHHH!" Yelled Sam as he was being thrashed all around by Ed-Zilla. But he stopped as he noticed the Grimm Dragon that already picked itself back up and was flying at Ed-Zilla. Ed-Zilla tightened the grip he had on Sam's tail as he swung him at the flying Dragon and knocks him into the building nearby so hard, that the building collapsed with the Grimm still inside it. Sam slowly picked himself back up as he towered over Ed-Zilla once again.

"I don't like being used as a battering ram, ED!" Yelled as he grabbed Ed-Zilla by the face and started rapidly and ferociously slamming his face into the ground. All the while the Grimm Dragon picked himself up again, as it looked over and saw King Sam. As without thinking, lunged at King Sam and started biting him causing King Sam to stumble back and Ed-Zilla getting a clear shot at both enemies. He turned around, and ran back several dozen feet. Stopping, and turning back, running over to the two other monsters as he performed his gravity defying trump kick as his tail kept him raised off the ground as his feet collided with both monsters sending them flying. Both King Sam and the Grimm Dragon flying into the Transmit Tower.

All the while this was happening, Yang was still being held tight by Jib, who was not going to let go any time soon. The corpses and Hybrids were surrounding Yang and Jib as one of the corpses were using a Scroll to tape the entire battle. Yang was getting a better view of the fight as Jib was still holding on tight to her. She knew she couldn't get away. Even if she could beat down Jib, she would have a plethora of other monsters that would instantly try to kill her. She kept thinking of what she could do over and over again, until...

"Jib, is it? You were friends with Ed once right? Why are you doing this to him? Why are you helping these freaks?" Jib just remained silent.

"... Ed actually talked about you, you know..." Jib looked at her. "He actually told me about the good times you two shared. When you and he would do stuff like blow bubbles, spin in a chair, play man vs alien, and tons of other things you two did together..." At the corner of her eye, even though Jib only had a white mask looking... mask for a face, she could tell that he was paying attention.

"So, if you have even the tiniest bit of care for him left in that tiny shriveled up thing you call a heart... Let me go..." Jib, for a few seconds looked like he was deciding what he should do. But, that chance ended with pulse blasts that came from the sky. As the Hybrids, corpses, Jib, and Yang looked up they saw three suits resembling Double D's war suit. As they landed, one of the evolved corpses were frozen and shattered into pieces by a blue battle suit. "Model 16, Bloo. Battle mode activated."

Two Beowolf Hybrids were quickly killed by a maroon colored battle suit with heavily modified gauntlets over its hands. "Model 21, Garnet. Battle mode activated."

Three corpses had holes blasted through their heads by a red robot with a black visor. "Model 7, Numbah One. Battle mode activated."

This was just the distraction Yang needed as she elbowed Jib getting loose from the demons grip as she instantly turned around and savagely punched him several times with her gauntlets. With her last powerful punch sending Jib flying through a wall. Yang took a few deep breaths as she turned around and looked at all the suits with a perplexed look.

"Double D?..." The suits merely responded with staring at her before Numbah One took off into the sky and the other two started to fight the incoming waves of Grimm. Yang didn't stall, as she turned around and ran over to help Ed.

Back with the young Hunters, they were still trying to fight off Evil Tim as best as they could, with little to no success as many of the young Hunters were severally wounded. While others tried to push forward as best as they could against the madly powerful threat. Weiss and Eddy stood there, burised and hurt, as they held their weapons high. Trying to figure out what to do next.

"He seems unstoppable! What can we possibly do?!" Asked Weiss as Eddy tried his hardest to think of an answer, until...

"I am such an idiot! Why did I NOT think of this before?!" Asked Eddy out loud as Weiss looked over at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Weiss.

"Look, I can go over and distract Evil Tim." Said Eddy as he pulled out his Scroll and started tapping it as he looked back at Weiss. "I'm getting locker sent here with weapons that are DESIGNED to BEAT Evil Tim!" Said Eddy as he was about to walk over to Evil Tim. But was stopped when Weiss grabbed Eddy's wrist as Eddy looked back at her.

"Please... Be careful..." Said Weiss as Eddy nodded his head and walked back over to Evil Tim. As he was a few few away from him. Evil Tim held Sage by the throat, as he was about to cut him in two with his dark scythe, the Harbinger...

"Hey tall dark and stupid!" Yelled Eddy as Evil Tim looked back at him, throwing Sage aside.

"I'm the one who killed you back on Earth, right? That's sad! I even killed you with your own weapon and I'm just a normal guy!" Said Eddy, mocking the dark figure as he stared at Eddy angrily.

"So what? Are just going to stand there and look mean? Or are you gonna try and fight me?" Asked Eddy as he held his Swordfish in front of his face.

"I'll show you power..." Said Evil Tim as his eye started to glow bright purple, as a powerful beam of purple energy raged it's way towards Eddy. As Eddy successfully jumped out of the beams way as it blasted through straight through several buildings behind Eddy. Eddy just kept moving, as he moved to another spot as he waved his hand and yelled out.

"Hey, Evil Timmy! Wanna see my imitation of you?" Without even wasting a second, Eddy turned around and pulled his pants down. Mooning the dark lord with his butt being drawn on with a black marker to resemble one eye with a mask over it.

"I'm Evil Tim! Bluh! Bluh! Bluh! Do this! Do that! Bluh! Bluh! Bluh!" Mocked Eddy as he was shaking his butt side to side, with Evil Tim becoming visibly more and more angrier as he gripped his scythe.

"I shall have your rear end cut off! And mounted over my fire place!" Yelled Evil Tim as he jumped up in the air bringing his scythe downwards towards Eddy. But Eddy was fast enough to jump out of the way as Evil Tim's scythe created a massive deep gash across the ground.

Everyone else was looking on in suspense as ABRN already took the severally injured Reese aside. Each of the young Hunters were looking on as Coco got a look of distress on her face.

"Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!" Yelled Coco getting Velvet's attention.

"Really?" Asked Velvet excited.

"Just make them count." Said Coco as Velvet nods. As she walks up to Evil Tim.

"What are you doing!? She's going to get hurt!" Yelled Weiss.

"Just watch." Said Coco as suddenly a locker crashed down from the sky. Weiss ran over to the locker as she opened it up to show the three items the Ed's brought back from Earth II. The Ed-Sword, the Devil-Slayer Shotgun, and the sack of Omni-Grenades. Weiss turned her head back over to Eddy as she yelled to him:

"Get out of there!"

"Don't have to tell me twice!" Replied Eddy as he dodged another one of Evil Tim's scythe swipes as he ran over to the rest of the group. Eddy looked over and saw Velvet walking over to Evil Tim as Evil Tim noticed her, and turned his head to face her.

"What the heck is she doing!? She'll get killed!" Yelled Eddy.

"She'll be fine." Said Coco.

"No she won't!" Yelled Eddy as he dashed over to the locker and pulled out the sack of Omni-Grenades as he pulled one out.

"Tell her to duck at least!" Yelled Eddy as Coco nodded and looked back over to Velvet.

"Velvet! Duck!" Velvet did what her team leader said as she quickly ducked and Eddy set the Grenade to it's correct setting as he tossed it at Evil Tim. The dark lord simply caught it as he stared at Eddy.

"Hahaha... Do you truly believe, a simple little grenade will-"

(BOOM!)

Suddenly the "harmless" grenade exploded as it covered the dark lord in shards of razor sharp metal as it covered his chest, right shoulder, and face as he crouched down on one knee in pain.

"What... What is this?!"

"A little gift I got from YOUR world! It's shards of strong metal and covered in a layer of silver that's been blessed! Let's see you get up from that, big man! He's weakened! Attack!" Yelled Eddy as the monster started to pick himself up again, as Velvet picked herself back up. The song I May Fall starts to play as with her weapon, Velvet begins to replicate Crescent Rose, as she imitates Ruby's overhead spin, landing on top of the Evil Tim as she dodges its swings of Evil Tim's swipe. She then replicates Myrtenaster to deflect the Evil Tim's punch that sent her back several feet and sent a powerful shockwave across the courtyard and lands a few blows before pushing it back with the Ember Celica imitation. Once after she lands a few shots, she slides under the Evil Tim's fist, similar to Blake as she uses the Gambol Shroud copy and uses its string to trip over the monster, but Evil Tim simply levitates himself back off the ground as he snapped the tiny rope around his body.

Before he could attack Velvet, he is immediately peppered with imitation bullets, thanks to copying Coco's minigun. As he moves forward, Velvet switches to using Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang as a reference, as she lands another few hits while landing a downward blow from above with a copy of Magnhild, destroying the ground around Evil Tim with another powerful shockwave.

But Evil Tim starts to regain his strength as his body started forcible pushing the holy shards out of his wounds. His hand ignited with a burning purple fire as he blasted the ground the Faunus was standing on, but luckily she dodged out of the way. As Evil Tim was about to blast another dark fire blast he was suddenly assaulted by several wooden arrows that were piercing through his still weakened body.

"Stay away from her you bully!" Yelled Jonny as he was charging at Evil Tim with his monk's crescent spear with plank attached. Shooting at Evil Tim with the crossbow attached to his weapon. Jonny yelled his war cry as he ran up to the monster, who grabbed Jonny by the shirt and looked him dead in the eyes. As Evil Tim was about to charge up his eye beam once again, Jonny held up the crossbow to Evil Tim's face, pulling the trigger and shot an explosive Dust tipped arrow into Tim's eye as an explosion went off in the demon's face.

"AAAHHH! MY EYE!" Yelled Evil Tim as he tossed the kid away and started rubbing his eye with his free hand. But Neon quickly raced in and caught Jonny. As Evil Tim was distracted with his injured eye, Velvet immediately copies Penny's swords, as she leaps at I'm and slices at his legs before blasting it at full power. However, after the massive blast, Evil Tim sucker hits Velvet with his scythe, slashing her across the chest drawing blood as she falls to the ground.

"VELVET!" Yells Coco as Evil Tim already walked out of the smoke, fully healed.

"Do all of you want to hear something humorous?... I was only using a small fraction of my power as I was fighting you..." Said Evil Tim as he laughed maniacally as he slashed his scythe, sending a wave of energy that all the young Hunters ducked from as the energy wave cut straight through several trees as it ravaged the building behind the hunters. The energy blast hit the locker itself as it went flying into the air as the Devil-Slayer and Ed-Sword fell out of it and on the ground.


Beacon Dinning Hall:

Back at the burning lunch hall, Blake was doing everything she could with her suits capabilities to defeat Adam with it's plasma blasters, guns, enhanced speed, strength, and durability. Adam was somehow on par with her during the whole time. Being strong enough to block attacks and smack her away also while being able to have aura that was strong enough to block against the force of several missiles. But Blake didn't rely sourly on her suit, she also used her Gambol Shroud to whip it around and slash at Adam, but all it has done was rip the left sleeve of Adams shirt. This actually started to reveal some type of red tattoo as Adam kicked her into a remaining wall. But that didn't stop the heroic Faunus as she picked herself up and dashed over to Adam, dodging his sword blows and managing to slash him across the face with her Gambol Shroud turning his head away.

But as he turned back, the vicious scar that ran across Adams face started to heal up at a rapid pace, shocking Blake as she took a step back.

"How... What did you do?..." Asked Blake as she took another step back as Adam smiled, fully healed.

"Oh... My sweet traitorous love... I've just gotten myself an edge." Said Adam as he tore off his ripped sleeve entirely revealing his entire forearm. Covered in a red tattoo in some sort of pattern as it started to glow. But before Blake could even defend herself Adam's sword sliced at her chest viciously, terribly damaging the suit as she fell down on her back. Adam loomed over her as he crouched down and tore off the mask of the helmet, throwing it away as it revealed Blake's angry expression.

"This could've been our day! Can't you see that!?" Yelled Adam growing angry as he still loomed over Blake.

"I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted peace!" Yelled Blake as she tried to pick herself back up in the damaged suit, but it didn't take long as Adam placed his foot on Blake's chest. Pinning her to the ground.

"What you want is impossible!" Yelled Adam as he grabbed Blake by her armored throat and picked her, and the several hundred pound suit up. Actually starting to slowly crush the metal around her neck.

"But I understand because all I want is you, Blake." Blake tried to raise her arm to blast Adam but he simply smacks it away.

"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." Threatened Adam. But before either of them could say anything else. They both heard something fall from the sky as it hit the ground with a clang. Adam looked behind him as Blake looked over her shoulder. It was Double D in his orange armor as Blake stared in horror while Adam simply looked, then turned back to Blake as he said.

"Starting with HIM."

"Blake!" Yelled Double D as he took a step forward as he noticed Adam holding her by the throat. As he quickly aimed his plasma blasters as him.

"Let her go!" Yelled Double D as Adam just stared at him.

"Hehehe... We meet at last... Don't we, Double D?"

"Your Adam Taurus! Blake told me about you and I already read all about you on the net. Your nothing but a deranged sociopath hiding behind the lies of being some sort of revolutionary, here to save the Faunus race. Not to mention you are the same person who framed me for MURDER!" Said Double D.

"So... This is your new love Blake? A filthy human? A coward like you, hiding behind a suit of armor... Pathetic." Said Adam.

"I said... Let her go, now!" Yelled Double D getting his blasters ready. But, that's when his suit started to analyze Adam... His bare arm was covered in red tattoos and glowing, the Gem of Sidorak's signal.

"Double D... Get back!" Chocked Blake.

"Adam Taurus. what did you do with the Gem of Sidorak?" Asked Double D firmly.

"I simply had the gem crushed to dust, then tattooed into my skin." Said Adam as he smiled and red aura started to surround him.

"By god... Do you have any idea what you've just done..." Asked Double D shocked by what he's done.

"I've just given myself a small boost in power... The same power, I will use to strike both of you down in, a worthless cowardly traitor..." Adam looked over to Blake who he was still choking. "And a cowardly human hiding in a suit of armor..." Said Adam as he dropped Blake to the floor, looking back up at Double D.

"Now... What do you have to say?" Asked Adam smiling confidentially.

Double D just stood there for a second... Staring on as Adam feels like he has the upper hand. But his confidence quickly turned to anger and confusion as Double D started to laugh out of nowhere.

"He.. Hehe... Hahahahahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"What is so funny?!"

"That you can speak down to me, call me a coward, call Blake a traitor when you are both a coward and a traitor... It's so pathetic it's actually funny!" Double D said.

"What?!"

"You call Blake a traitor when the White Fang was supposed to protect Faunus rights, but you aligned with people like Cinder Fall and the Red Caps who see you and your people as pawns in their own schemes! People like the Red Caps who abuse and humiliate your people! You have the nerve to call Blake a traitor when YOU have actually harmed, even killed your own kind! I see right through you, Adam Taurus! I've seen millions of people like you on Earth, people who act like saviors but in are content to drown themselves and everyone around them in blood!" Double D's helmet flew open revealing his face. "And the fact that you are so obsessed with Blake tells me just how pitiful you are!"

"Shut up! What would a human like you know?!"

"I know Blake wanted peace but you never wanted it! You gave up on it before anyone could try, because you believe the only way out is to drag both Humans and Faunus into a war and wipe both sides out! But Blake chose a different and she left you which was a big blow to your pride wasn't it? That's why you are so obsessed with hurting and even more obsessed with hurting me." Double D took another step closer. "You want to show her your way is the only way and the only way to do that is to tear down her world and everything she loves. You think if you kill me, kill her friends, show her Humans fighting against Faunus she'll have to admit you were right all along. And that is what makes you pitiful, Adam Taurus! The fact that you ever believed Blake to be as a weak and pathetic as you!" Yelled Double D as Adam glared at Double D in anger as she slowly shook his head.

"THEN BOTH OF YOU SHALL DIE!" Yelled Adam as he stabs Blake in the abdomens, and quicker then Double D could've reacted, grabbed Blake by the leg and tossed her into a pile of burning wooden beams nearby. As there was a small burst of fire.

"Blake!" Yelled Double D as he flew in, and just as he saw Adam's smug face right hooked him sending him stumbling back. But he quickly recovered as he hopped back into battle as he punched back denting his armor. As they went back and forth with Double D punching as hard as he can, breaking through Adam's powerful Aura shield and severally hurting him, but instantly healing up. While Adam was ripping pieces of Double D's armor off, striking him, and slicing at him with his blade cutting through the armor. That was until Adam tore off the armor off of Double D's left arm, that was until Double D blasted him with another plasma blast, burning off more of Adam's shirt and revealing more of his tattoo. But that's when Double D and Adam punched each others fists, breaking Double D's arm armor and snapping Adam's arm. But he groaned in anger and pain as he healed it and kicked Double D several dozen feet back. Before Double D could pick himself back up Adam jumped on top of him and raised his sword.

"Eject!" Yelled Double D as the suit launched Double D out of the suit before Adam sliced it in half. Adam pulled his blade back up as he saw Double D standing there, unarmored. But before Adam could attack, a new suit flew down from the sky as it wrapped around Double D, it looked like Samurai style battle armor, as Double D quickly pulled the blade out of it's holder as he ignited his rocket boosters and charged at Adam. Grabbing the young man by the throat and rocketing up and out of the cafeteria to Beacons larger buildings, as Double D still holding Adam by the throat dragged him against the building, until they busted into an empty dorm room. Adam and Double D both stood back up as Adam tore off his burning shirt to reveal his upper body that's completely covered in symbol-like red glowing tattoos with a bull-like head on his chest and the White Fang insignia on his back. But before Adam could've even reacted, Double D started to blast at him with his plasma cannons. Adam managed to jump out of the way of the majority of the blasts as he got up to Double D quickly pulling his sword out and swinging it at his foe.

(Clang!)

But instead it crossed over with Double D's own sword as they struggled against each others forces.

"This suit is designed to handle powerful and dangerous Grimm... Let's see how it does against animalistic lunatics." Said Double D as his blade glowed white with energy as the two broke from the hold and started to slash at one another, each blow being blocked by the other one as each opponent was swinging their swords faster then the speed of sound. That was until Double D got in a few good punches and kicks as he shattered Adams jaw, heavily fractured his skull, and kicked him in the chest shattering the majority of his ribs, and finally sending him into a wall. As Adam picked himself back up, his body started to heal up as it was increadibly obvious that he was in vast amounts of pain. He spit out a tooth as he said.

"Heh... Is that all you got human?"

"On the contrary..." Said Double D as he leaped in with his white Blade once more as he started to slice at Adam. The bull Faunus did everything he could to block Double D's attacks, but the Samurai Jack armor was to fast and overwhelming as it started to create several dozen gashes all over Adam's body causing him to bleed profusely. But as he tried to block another one of Double D's attacks, Double D cut his fingers off his right hand as they started to fly. Adam yelled in pain as he grabbed his sword with his other hand as he tried to slash at Double D. The Genius simply blocked the strikes as he cut off his left arm, Adam screamed in anger and in pain as the limb started flying across the room. He then hissed in pain as he fell over, his body trying to regrow his lost fingers and hands with the enhanced Aura.

"Take as long as you need, while you do. I'm going to make sure you can't get back up." Said Double D as he aimed a missile at Adam. Firing it as it blew up a portion of the building.

(BOOM!)

Flames erupted all around Double D as the floor Adam was standing on was replaced with a crater, Double D stood on the edge as he looked down and his visor scanned the area detecting no life forms.

"Penny, can you scan for Adam's life form?"

"He's right behind-!" But Penny wasn't able to finish as Adam's arm wrapped around Double D's throat from behind and tossed him to the ground. Double D got back up as fast as he could to see Adam literally torn apart and burnt with his body trying it's very best to heal him up and keep him alive. Double D got back up as fast as he could as he draws his white sword, along with Adam's crimson red sword. It didn't take long as the two crossed blades once again. Double D still having the upper hand with his suit being uploaded with all knowledge on every imaginable fighting style to be used with a sword. Bit it didn't take long as Adam, in his blinding fury, managed to knock Double D's sword out of his hands and down into the fiery crater that was created a few seconds ago. Double D barely had any time to react as he was slashed at by Adam's blade several times. Luckily Adam only damaged the suit and not Double D. Double D couldn't rely on the sword any more as he started to his combat skills to fight Adam. Hitting him as hard as he could with jets on his elbows to accelerate and enhance his strikes, smashing Adam across the face and making sure to hit as hard as he could. But Adam had enough of this, as Double D tried to side kick Adam, the leader of the White Fang grabbed ahold of Double D's leg and raised his sword up. The leg armor opened up allowing Double D to pull his leg out before Adam sliced the armored leg off.

Double D tried to hit Adam again but he simply grabbed the genius' fist and flipped him over on his chest. Double D tried to pick himself up again as he looked over at the White Fang leader once more, trying to use his visors concussive beam to blast Adam into next Tuesday, but Adam quickly sliced downwards on Double D's helmet stopping the concussive beam from firing. Quickly grabbing ahold of Double D's helmet as he said.

"Even with all your intelligence... You are still WEAK, like Blake." Before Adam could bring down his sword and sliced Double D in half, the suit launched Double D out backwards and throwing him out of the room and on top of the roof of a lower building nearby. Adam already sliced the Samurai Jack armor in two as it fell down. Double D slowly picked himself back up as he looked up to see Adam standing there, fully healed from the broken wall. Adam smirked at Double D as Double D stared at him and put his finger to his earpiece.

"Penny, another suit ASAP!"

"There's one already on it's way." Said Penny as Double D looked behind him along with Adam as they both see a suit flying towards them.

"Well look at that... Courage..." Said Double D as the suit flew closer and closer, visibly being pink as it flew closer and closer. Double D stood up, ready to be encased by the suit but... The second it got close enough to Double D it fell apart right next to him. Adam gave a slightly confused look as he looked back over at Double D.

"*Sigh*... Nevermind..."

"It still baffles me why Blake would choose such a worthless human like you, instead of staying in the White Fang with me... Where she belonged, with her TRUE love..." Said Adam as he jumped from the hole in the building and in front of Double D.

"Okay! Okay! Just let me say something!" Yelled Double D as he stepped back and Adam stood there. "Your right... compared to her I'm worthless, but here's something you should know Mister Taurus... You had the chance to make her happy and create true equality, but now she knows the type of monster you are, and why you will NEVER be her true love." Said Double D as the second he was finished with his speech, pulled out his Magnifying Glass in it's original magnifying glass form as he used it to blast Adam three times running over to him, then quickly transforming it into his solar blade and slicing Adam multiple times. But as Adam was about to break Double D's neck, the head of the "Courage" suit hovered up into the air as it unleashed a massive shockwave that sounded like a scream that hit Adam and sent him back. Distracting Adam as Double D yelled.

"NOW PENNY!" As the suit flew at Adam encasing him in the suit as it held his body prisoner. The only part of his body being visible was his head as he struggled and glared at Double D.

"Penny, please do me a little favor and self-destruct mark 13." Said Double D.

"NOOOOO-(Clang!)" But Adam wasn't even able to finish screaming as the helmet encased itself around his head as Double D turned around and tried to get off the roof.

(BOOM!)

The suit exploded as Double D managed to make it back to the bottom of the building and land in the dinning hall. Double D slowly tried to pick himself back up as he saw the fireball that used to be his suit "Courage" and the remaining bits of Adam fell down. Several pieces of the suit fell in multiple areas as the head of the suit landed right in front of Double D. Double D cautiously stared at it. He stared at the burning helmet, until the face piece fell off revealing the head of the suit to be empty, Double D took a sigh of relief as he tried to pick himself back up.


Beacon Elsewhere:

As the battle raged on between Ed-Zilla, King Sam, and the Grimm Dragon they all continued to fight. The Grimm Dragon and Salty Sam biting down on Ed-Zilla as Ed-Zilla roared in pain. He soon smacked the two monsters away as he was prepared for their next fight, Ed-Zilla grabbed the Dragon by the throat as he slammed it into the ground. The Dragon picked itself up as it started to breathe a powerful beam of fire at Ed-Zilla, knocking him into a large classroom of Beacon as the Dragon turned back around to continue it's fight with King Sam. Ed-Zilla picked himself back up as he looked around in the classroom he was thrown into. It was Dust class, giving him an idea. Back outside, King Sam and the Grimm Dragon were still fighting it out as the Dragon was breathing fire on Sam. But King Sam simply used the heavily platted armor on his back to block the flames as he turned back around and continued swiping at the beast with his claws. But as they were about to go at it again, they both heard a roaring noise as they both stopped in their tracks and looked over at the source of the roar.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Roared Ed-Zilla as the Grimm monster and the armored monster prepared for battle. But what they didn't expect to happen was Ed-Zilla to pull out a large canister of several Dust types as he put the whole canister in his mouth as he started to chew. King Sam and the Grimm Dragon stood there another moment before Ed-Zilla opened up his mouth and blasted King Sam back with a powerful energy multi-colored beam of mixed Dusts. The Dragon looked on in shock for a moment, before letting out a vicious roar of it's own and charging up its own fire breath. Ed-Zilla looked over at the Dragon that was charging it's fire breathe, Ed-Zilla did the same as both beasts mouths started to charge up with a significant amount of energy. As several more moments passed... They both let out there power breaths as the two forces of power collided with one another and fought for dominance.

(VREEEBROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMFSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

The two beams of power constantly fought, pushing one another back and forth. But that was until, the Dragon's fire breath started to win over Ed-Zilla's Dust breath and push the beast back. The power from the Dragon was hust too overwhelming, the Dragon's breath was just inches away from beating the monstrous lump... Until that spark went off in him, as he opened his eyes back up with a burning desire for victory in them, as he fired his energy blast back and defeated the Dragon, sending the monster tumbling. As the monster picked itself back up, covered in injuries and clearly hurt, glared at Ed-Zilla as Ed-Zilla simply glared back at the beast, letting out another roar.

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGK!"

The Dragon gave Ed-Zilla one last glare, before it heard a voice of a woman it it's head.

"Forget about the monsters... They are of no importance to you, spread more reinforcements across Beacon. Now..."

The monster gave Ed-Zilla one last glare, before turning around and flying away to do as it's master said. Ed-Zilla looked at the slowly disappearing form of the monster before turning back around to see the twenty-five foot tall monster picking itself back up, looking at Ed-Zilla as it cracked its knuckles and said.

"It looks like it's just you and me again..." Said the monster as the two charged at one another yet again to continue their one-on-one battle.

Ed-Zilla's fight with King Sam raged on as Ed-Zilla managed to knock the other monster back with a head-butt. King Sam was at his limit at this point. He looked around at the remains of one of the buildings that were ravaged in their fight as he saw a broken and sharp piece of a steel beam sticking out of the ground. Jib smiled as he grabbed the sharp metal beam and grabbed it as he tore it out of the ground and looked over at the charging Ed-Zilla. He hid it behind his back as Ed-Zilla just came closer and closer, as Ed-Zilla ran up to him and let out a mighty roar, Sam pulled the sharp beam back out and faster then Ed-Zilla could've reacted, he stabs Ed-Zilla in the shoulder as Ed-Zilla screams out in pain. Ed-Zilla stumbled back as King Sam walked closer to Ed-Zilla, smiling as he started to speak.

"You don't get it, do you?... You think you can beat ME?" Asked King Sam as he viciously slashed at Ed-Zilla with his claws.

"Come on, you were strong enough to punch me CLEAN across the city! Why can't you do it now tough guy!?" Asked King Sam as he slashed at Ed-Zilla again.

"Now, you will know who superior is!" Yelled King Sam as he grabbed Ed-Zilla by the throat as he held him above the ground by his throat. "After you die, just know I'm going to hunt down your HELPLESS little fire dragon of a girlfriend... Yang Xiao Lo- AHH!" Screamed King Sam as he stumbled back as something very strong just hit him in the face. He looked all around him but a saw nothing as something hit him in the face again, multiple times sending him stumbling back, as King Sam was on the ground, and on his knees he looked down to see Yang Xiao Long herself standing there, burning brighter then he's ever seen her before as a very small amount of tears started to leave her eyes.

"Not so "Helpless" now am I, jerk?" Asked Yang as she jumped up yet again before King Sam could react, jumping up to and holding onto his face as she punched him in the face as hard as she possibly could multiple times, burning as hot as the sun itself, each fiery blow being the equivalent of a speeding train as each punch resonated a shockwave that would shatter remaining windows and even crack the ground they were standing on. The punches were easily knocking King Sam's teeth out with little effort along with cracking his natural armor that was on his body. But it all ended as Yang delivered one last punch that created a massive shockwave that sent giant cracks through the ground and shattered all windows that were nearby as it finally sent King Sam into a dorm building as the building itself collapsed on top of him.

(KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!)

After that pummeling, Yang stood there as she took several deep breaths. Slowly cooling down but still burning hot.

"Don't EVER, call me helpless again freak..." Growled Yang as she then heard groaning behind her, as she turned her head to look at whatever was making that groaning noise she saw Ed-Zilla, slowly limp up to her.

"Ed..."

"Yang... You look hurt." Said the deeper voice of Ed coming from his monstrous form.

"You have a metal beam in your shoulder! YOUR hurt!" Yelled Yang as she ran up to Ed-Zilla as he bent his head down and Yang hugged the monsters head.

"It's fine Yang, my brain is so slow that it takes a while for me to actually feel the pain hehehe." Silently laughed Ed, trying his best to keep himself together in front of the concerned Yang.

"Please... Don't make jokes, I don't want to loose you! You could die!" Yelled Yang.

"YANG!" Yelled Ed catching the girls attention. "I'M FINE! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME! YOU NEED TO FIND THE OTHERS AND GET SOMEWHERE SAFE NOW!"

"I'm not leaving you!" Yelled Yang back angrily as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Yang, I-!" But before Ed-Zilla could complete his sentence, both of them heard rumbling. As they looked over they saw King Sam picking himself back up from the rubble of the building that collapsed on top of him.

"Yang! I need you to stand back!" Yelled Ed-Zilla as he stood back up and started to lightly push Yang away.

"But I-!"

"Just do it!" Yelled Ed-Zilla as he turned back to the other monster, King Sam was heavily wounded and covered with dozens of deep lacerations along with his sharp teeth being knocked out. The beast stood there as he looked angrily at Ed-Zilla and Yang.

"I am going to take my sweet time when I CRUSH you under my heel like the bug you are, you worthless little p-!" But King Sam wasn't able to finish as Ed-Zilla took another canister of mixed Dusts that were lying on the side as he put them in his mouth, chewing it up and opening his mouth back up as he blasted King Sam with a beam of pure energy. Fire, water, lightning, wind, earth, ice, light, darkness, energy, and every Dust combination possible to create a massively powerful beam of energy that annihilates anything in it's way.

(FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHVROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!)

As the blast finally subsided, the majority of the rubble left was severally burnt and destroyed along with anything else that was behind King Sam as Ed-Zilla used his Dust breath.

"Is... Is he?" Asked Yang, not really concerned if Sam is dead or not, but if Ed really intended to kill him. Ed-Zilla took a step forward himself as he was about to say something. But before he could they both heard groaning and the shuffling of rubble, as a hand shot from the piles of burnt concrete, stone, wood, and steel as the man within pulled himself out. Salty Sam was back in his original form, but was terribly burnt, injured, and covered in lacerations. He groaned in pain as he limped his way out of the rubble, but right he stepped foot off the premises of the ruined building, he collapsed on his back. Not unconscious, but could still barely move.

"Sadly he isn't..." Said Ed-Zilla as he ripped out the beam from his shoulder throwing it aside. As he turned back to his human form and stood next to Yang, holding his bleeding shoulder.

"He doesn't matter right now, we have to find the others and... Blake!" Yelled Yang in realization as Ed turned to her in confusion.

"What?"

"Blake! I have to go find Blake before she gets hurt!" Yelled Yang as she tried to run off, but was stopped as someone grabbed her arm. Yang looked over to see Ed standing there holding onto Yang's arm and preventing her from going.

"What do you think your doing, Ed!? Let go of me!" Yelled Yang as she tried to pull away, but Ed wouldn't allow it.

"No, Yang!"

"I said LET GO!" Yelled Yang as she tried harder to pull away.

"No!"

"LET GO NOW, ED!" Yelled Yang pulling even harder.

"I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU AGAIN!..." Yelled Ed as he grabbed ahold of Yang and shook her as he yelled. Yang remained silent staring at Ed as Ed lowered his head as he said.

"I can't... I just don't want to lose you again... I love you too much..." Said Ed shaking his head looking down and closing his eyes. That was until he felt a gentle touch on his chin that lifted his head back up. Looking into those lovely lavender eyes.

"Ed... Blake is like a sister to me, she is such a close friend that if I lost her..." Yang looked down once more and shook her head.

"But-..."

"Please, Ed... Just let me find her..." Said Yang as Ed's grip on Yang's arm started to loosen.

"... Okay... Okay, just please... Be sa- *Mmm!*" Ed wasn't able to finish as Yang pulled the Lump into one last passionate kiss. To show how much she truly loved him. Ed kissed back as the two finally departed and took their much needed breaths.

"Please be safe, Yang." Said Ed.

"You too, big guy." Said Yang as she turned around and ran in the other direction, on her way to look for Blake. Ed looked on as he saw her run away, but that's when his thoughts were interrupted by groans of pain. Ed turned back around as he saw Salty Sam back on his feet, and staring at Ed... Starting to smirk. Ed angrily walked over to him as he said.

"You've been defeated Sam, give up and turn yourself in! Or I'll do it for you..." Said Ed as Salty Sam continued to smirk through all the pain he was in.

"Oh, not just yet..." Said Salty Sam as he threw several metallic orbs around Ed as Ed looked at them puzzled. Before he could jump out of the way of the orbs possibly being explosives and jumping out of their range. They sprawled open and all erupted some type of gravitational force that forced Ed to the ground ad he fell on his hands and knees. Salty Sam smiled as he picked himself back up as he limped over to Ed with a smirk on his face and holding some sort of remote in his right hand.

"AAAAGGGHHH! AAAAGGHHH!" Screamed Ed in pain as the force of gravity around him started to get stronger along with the sprawled out orbs emitting surges of electricity that was shocking Ed.

"You wouldn't think I'd come to a fight like this without having a plan B, did you?" Asked Sam as he stood over Ed pressing a button on the device increasing the voltage of electricity the orbs were producing.

"A little gift from our resident Doctor and Scientist Oceanica... Devices that have lightning Dust and gravity Dust inside of them, trapping you as it starts to crush you to death and electrocute you to death at the same time... While I just get to sit back and watch..." Said Salty Sam smiling as he started to turn up the power. Salty Sam stood there as he continued to turn up the power as Ed started to fade away from the amount of pain he was in... Closing his eyes as his body started to give up...

But, that spark lit up in his eyes like before. Growling in anger as he started to push himself back up from the ground despite being shocked with a thousand volts of electricity and standing in gravity that is fifty times that of Earth's or Remnants. Salty Sam started to shutter and panic as he yelled.

"What!? How can you be doing that!? NOBODY IS THAT STRONG!" Yelled Salty Sam as he pressed the button increasing the force of gravity and electrical surge even more. But through Ed's will, he managed to fully pick himself back up as he brought his foot down on each device breaking them and stopping the shocks and the increasing force of gravity. Sam looked in horror as Ed transformed.

"Who are you?" Asked Sam.

"I AM ED!" Yelled Ed-Zilla as he bent down and clamped his jaws around Salty Sam's right arm, tearing it off as Salty Sam backed off.

"AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH! MY ARM!" Yelled Sam as he grasped his upper arm. Ed-Zilla let out another growl as he tossed the arm into the air with his mouth, as it flew back down and Ed-Zilla swallowed it whole.

"CHEESE AND MACORONI!" Yelled Ed-Zilla as he grabbed Salty Sam with his mouth as he spun him around over and over, until he threw him high into the sky. Ed-Zilla looked up once more as he started to loose visual sight of Sam. Ed-Zilla turned away as he took another breath, then transformed back into his original self.

"Now, I gotta find my friends..." Said Ed as he took out his Mighty Flipper as he ran down the walkways of Beacon.


Atlasian Airship:

Ruby was on the hijacked Atlasian Airship as she was currently battling the criminal Roman Torchwick and his devious partner Neopolitan. As Ruby charges, Neo vaults over Roman for a powerful kick. She then leaps up, grabs Crescent Rose, and slides under, flipping Ruby once more with the hook of her parasol. As Ruby spins midair, the pint-sized powerhouse finishes with a roundhouse to the abdomen, as Roman slams the barrel of Melodic Cudgel to the ground and fires, causing the cane to ricochet and hit Ruby, before catching it and firing the weapon once more over his shoulder. The blast is enough to send Ruby holding on for dear life, with the embedded blade of Crescent Rose the only thing preventing her from falling.

"I may be a gambling man, but even I know that there are some bets you just don't take." Said Roman as Neo then extends her blade and drags it on the surface, as she holds Ruby at swordpoint.

"Like it or not, the people that hired me are going to change the world! You can't stop 'em, I can't stop 'em!" Said Roman as he continues, Ruby kicks away a Nevermore, and notices the button on Neo's parasol.

"You know the old saying, "If you can't beat 'em-" But before Roman could properly finish his sentence, suddenly, Ruby reaches for the parasol, causing it to open and send Neo flying off the airship, leaving her with a frightened gasp as she is silently left at the mercy of the Grimm roaming the skies and the raging winds.

"NEO!" Yelled Roman as Ruby pulled herself back up.

"I don't care what you say! We will stop them and I will stop you! BET ON THAT!" Ruby yelled.

As Ruby charges at top speed with the use of her Semblance, Roman grips Melodic Cudgel with both hands, the left hand holding the shaft, as he quickly catches the projectile with the hook end and hurls it at Ruby, knocking her away, before smacking her with the business end of the cane, ramming the weapon in her stomach, and firing another shot, sending her on her back once more.

"You got spirit, Red. But this is the real world!" Said Roman as he then whacks Ruby with the butt of his cane, sending her back a few feet.

"The real world is cold!" Roman lands another coshing, this time on Ruby's legs.

"The real world doesn't care about spirit!" Yelled Roman as Ruby then kicks him in the knee, causing him to lose balance as he prepares a downward strike.

"You wanna be a hero!? Then play the part and die like every other Huntsman in history!" He then proceeds to smack Ruby with the butt end of the cane.

"As for me, I'll do what I do best: lie, steal, cheat, and SURVIVE!"

Just as Roman prepares a final, overhead swing, an Alpha Griffon suddenly appears from the sky and swallows him whole, attracted by the negativity of his rant. The roar sends Ruby back a few feet, before the two charge at each other. Ruby prevails when she kicks the beast in the head, sending it through the hull and causing it to crash. But before Ruby could've thought up an escape plan, something crashes into the airship as it shook violently. She regained her balance as she wondered what could've hit the ship? But that didn't matter, the ship started to go down as it was seconds away from blowing up. Ruby then, she grabs Crescent Rose, leaps off the falling airship, and propels herself in the air, shooting at the ground as if her weapon was a pogo-stick, before landing safely on the rooftops of Vale.

Salty Sam, was slowly waking up as he looked around himself and wondered where he could've possibly been. He looked down to see a giant whole from where he was just tossed through. He looked over at his right arm as he saw that it was gone, he grabbed the stump as he looked around for another second. He was in the hanger of some sort of ship, with fire and highly explosive Dust everywhere. He knew what was going to happen, as all he could say was:

"Aww hell..." With a look of acceptance on his face. As from the outside, the ship started to have several explosions around it, until the entire ship exploded in a huge ball of fire.

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!)


The City of Vale:

Back in the city, Glynda uses her riding crop to knock back a few Creeps, while Qrow slices and blasts at a few infected Knights with his sword. Tiburon combats two regular corpses as he used his chainsaw club to slice both of them in half. Baron has already summoned skeletons that resemble Beowolves, Ursai, Nevermores, and other Grimm species as they helped him in attacking the real Grimm. Cardin giddily knocks back an Ursa with his mace, but then gets held at gunpoint by a few infected Knights. Suddenly, their heads are shot off, surprising Cardin. As the smoke clears, it is revealed that General Ironwood miraculously survived his crash, his damaged uniform exposing the right half of his body to be cybernetic. Without hesitation, he shoots down all of the infected Knights with his revolver. He looks over as he sees one Hybrid with it's own cybernetic parts as it leaped at Ironwood, but Ironwood just shoots the beast two times in the chest and one in the head as he put the monster down.

"This area's secure! We need to-" Ironwood stopped as suddenly, Qrow's expression changes into what appears to be anger. He transforms his sword into a scythe and charges toward Ironwood.

"Qrow! This isn't my doing!" Yelled Ironwood as Qrow doesn't stop his charge. Li looks over as he yelled.

"Qrow! What are you doing!?" Qrow continues charging, despite Ironwood's words. The general flips his gun in his hand and gets into a battle stance, preparing for the perceived attack. However, Qrow leaps past Ironwood, who turns around just in time to see a large Griffon lunging at him. With one swing of Qrow's scythe, the Griffon is sliced in two. Upon landing, Qrow turns around to address Ironwood. Qrow scoffs at the general as he said

"You idiot. I know you didn't do this." Ironwood relaxes and sighs, lowering his head and putting his hand to his forehead, while Glynda places her hand on his shoulder.

"So what now, General?" Asked Qrow as Baron just finished slicing a Boarbatusk's head off.

"Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines. And that enormous Grimm seems to be fixated on the school. Glynda, form up the local Huntsmen and establish a safe zone here in Vale. We need to evacuate Beacon. Qrow, I'm leaving that to you, Li, Baron, Tiburon, Albert, and my men. I still need to get to my ship."

All the Hunters then hear a loud noise and turn to see its source: Ironwood's ship slowly nosediving into the ground, before blowing up in mid air.

"Well, it won't be much of a walk." Said Qrow sarcastically as the Atlesian Knights that are still functioning attempt one last time to harm the Huntsmen, before powering down. But before any of the Hunters could've taken a minute to relax, more Grimm started to emerge out of the shadows as more evolved mandible corpses arrived crawling down the walls like bugs arrived as well. The Hunters went back into battle positions as Baron said.

"Here we go again."


Beacon Vault:

In the Beacon vault, an elevator opens up to reveal Ozpin, Jaune, and Pyrrha. The three immediately sprint out of the elevator and down the corridor.

"What is this place?" Asked Jaune.

"It's... a type of vault." Replied Pyrrha.

"You've... been here before?" Asked Jaune as Pyrrha looks away from him.

"What would this school need to... hide?" Asked Jaune as finally seeing the Aura transfer machine, Jaune stops in his tracks, gazing wide-eyed at the strange contraption and the comatose girl inside.

"What? Who?" Asked Jaune, still incredibly confused.

"Jaune... " Said Pyrrha

"Pyrrha! Get to the pods!" Yelled Ozpin as Pyrrha looks at Jaune, then runs to the second pod.

"Mister Arc, if you'd like to help, you can stand guard here." Said Ozpin as Jaune looks at the two with uncertainty, then turns around and gets into a guarding stance.

"What do we do now?" Asked Pyrrha as Ozpin was typing on the machine's hologram keyboard.

"We, do nothing." Said Ozpin as the second pod opens, and Ozpin turns his head to look at Pyrrha.

"You, Miss Nikos... have a choice to make." Said Ozpin as Pyrrha looks at the pod, then at Jaune, hesitating. Her expression changes from uncertainty to sadness, and she wipes a tear from her eye, still looking at Jaune. She then climbs into the pod, which closes.


Dinning Hall:

Back at the Dinning Hall, Double D tried to pick himself back up as he was going to plan what he was going to do next. But...

(Clank) (Clank)... (Clank)

Double D looked back up as he saw the burning wooden beams, started to move as a figure crawled out of it and limped over to Double D. And to his surprise and shock... He saw Adam rise from the flames as he limped over to Double D. Near torn to pieces by the blast, with several chunks of his body missing and his body barely being held together. He wasn't even bleeding as the red aura tried it's very best to keep Adam together.

"You think you've won? Stupid human..." Said Adam as he limped over to Double D, holding the seethe to his sword as he grabbed the handle and pulled out the crimson blade. "The White Fang will never fall, it is the Faunus' destiny to rid the world of you FILTHY humans... Don't you understand? THE WHITE FANG WILL NEVER DIE! (Clang!)" Adam was suddenly silenced as Blake used a large piece of a wooden beam to smash Adam in the face and knock him across the room.

Double D looked at her, as her suit managed to function and reboot. Blake looked over at Double D as she dropped the beam of wood. The two just stared at each other for a second or two before Double D spoke up.

"Blake? Your alive?" Asked Double D as he stood up and reached out towards Blake.

"Double D, it's okay I- UGH!" Yelled Yang as Adam sliced her across the back, damaging "Peace" even further. Adam turned back anagrily as she saw Adam standing there with his crimson sword.

"No more child's play..."

"Blake!" Yelled Double D as the genius ran forward in his attempt to protect the Faunus. But Adam still possessing his unnatural strength, smacked Double D aside.

"No more little suits of armor..." Growled Adam as he started tearing large portions of Blake's armor off. "No more cowards... And no more-"

"BLAKE!" Adam was about to plunge his blade into Blake, but halted as he looked over as Yang's voice draws their attention to one of the broken windows. She soon comes into view and shoots a White Fang member, before looking around for her teammate.

"Blake! Where are you!?" Asked Yang looking around frantically as Double D started to pick himself back up.

"No..." Said Double D as he got back up.

"Another loved one?" Asked Adam as he smiles.

Adam draws his sword and stabs it into Blake's abdomen near her left hip, causing her to shriek in pain. The cry catches Yang's attention.

"Yang! Stand back!" Warned Double D, but Yang didn't even hear him as she yelled.

"Get away from them!" Adam smiles as he starts to twist the blade in Blake's flesh as he slowly pulls it out.

"No... please..." Begged the injured Blake.

Yang screams, her eyes turning red and a burst of flame erupting from her. She leaps at Adam, drawing her fist back with tears in her eyes.

"YANG! STOP!" Yelled Double D holding his hand out in vain as Adam swiftly draws his sword, swinging it through the air at Yang, as his Semblance activates. As Yang flies through the air, the lower half of her right arm separates from her. Yang flies through the air, beginning to lose consciousness, with glowing yellow Aura splattering out from her wound. She lands on the floor and lays there on her side, completely still.

Back in the vault, Amber struggles to breathe, her eyes wide, the machine's alarm still playing. Finally, all breath leaves her. Her eyes drift closed, and her head leans to the side, her whole body going limp. The green flames that light the torches throughout the vault suddenly snuff out. Pyrrha frantically beats her fists against the glass of her pod. The orange glow leaves Pyrrha and travels back through the pipes into Amber. The glow then bursts out of Amber, shattering the glass in its way, and enters Cinder. The murderer glows, begins floating, and gains long trails of flame around her eyes, with orange energy swirling around her. Pyrrha beats even harder on the glass, her stress increasing. Jaune raises his sword and charges toward Cinder.

"Stay back!" Warned Ozpin as Cinder casts a large fireball toward Jaune, who blocks it with his shield and is blasted backwards, landing on his back.

"JAUNE!" Yelled Pyrrha as Finally, Pyrrha uses her Semblance to rip the pod's door off its hinges, throwing it at Cinder, who knocks it away like it's nothing. As Cinder begins to descend to the floor, Pyrrha leaps out of the pod and charges, calling her weapon and shield to her with her Semblance. However, Ozpin puts his arm out, stopping her.

"Take Jaune and get out of here! Find Glynda! Ironwood! Qrow! Bring them here right away! The tower cannot fall!" Yelled Ozpin.

"But I can help." Offered Pyrrha.

"You'll only get in the way." Said Ozpin turning to her. Pyrrha hesitates for a moment but obeys Ozpin, scooping up Jaune and running away. While she does so, Cinder descends to the floor and watches them leave, with the glow, the swirling energy, and the flames around her eyes all disappearing. Cinder turns her attention back to Ozpin, her eyes still glowing for a moment.

"This whole time... right beneath our feet. She was right about you." Said Cinder standing off with Ozpin. Ozpin turns his cane in his grip, staring hard at Cinder.

"Such arrogance." Said Cinder as she shook her head, as her eyes started to glow a burning orange.


Dinning Hall:

Back at the Dinning hall, Adam slowly walks toward Yang's unconscious body and swings his sword out to the side, casting blood from its blade. Before he can reach her, Double D throws herself between them, giving him a determined stare.

"You hurt me Blake, by befriending these humans." Said Adam as he looked over Blake and Double D raising up his sword, but before he could attack. Blake sped in and knocked Adam back all the way to the other side of the Dinning Hall. Blake then quickly unloaded her Gambol Shroud of all it's fire Dust as she tossed the diamond Dust at Adam as she shot it in mid air blowing it up and surrounding Adam in flames.

It only took a few seconds before Adam jumped through the flames surrounded in his Aura as he swings his sword, and Blake's head detaches from her neck. However, both her body and her head suddenly vanish, and Adam turns to watch the real Blake flee along with Double D, dragging Yang with her as both of them leave. He begins slowly walking after them, not even bothering to look at the Creep that attempts to ambush him as he cuts it down.

A/N: Well, here's chapter 44, it was a little bit off hell on me trying to keep all these events in line and not make anything too overzealous, boring, or repetitive... I am NOT looking forward to writing around 'End of the Beginning'... But at least I'm finally starting to catch up to volume 4... Hooray... I hope you Adam haters like how I made the fight between him and Double D like. Not much else to say so as always, tell me what you think, give me your own suggestions to make the story better, favor and follow if you like this story, share it with your friends, and I'll see you next time. Next chapter is coming soon. Bye.
