A/N: This takes place around during the events of 'End of the Beginning'. Thanks once again to Lord Maximus for helping out. Enjoy.

The darkened corridor of the Vault under Beacon. Only flashes of green and vermilion are illuminated in the darkness. More flashes are shown as Ozpin and Cinder Fall clash weapons against each other. After a clash, Cinder slides back, using her hand to melt the floor below her, and summons ice crystals from the newly-formed substance, hurling them towards Ozpin. Ozpin deflects them all by moving at superhuman speed, and then darts forward and delivers a bunch of strikes at Cinder with his cane, with the last blow launching her back. Cinder then floats mid air by unleashing her Maiden power. Ozpin then slams his cane into the floor, forming a spherical force-field around him. Cinder then unleashes a powerful fire blast, with Ozpin leaping into the attack with the barrier protecting him. As he closes in on her.


Beacon: The Docks

Back out to the docks outside of Beacon. Air buses are seen picking up the last few civilians and students. Professor Port and Doctor Oobleck oversee the evacuation.

"That's it! Everybody on board! This is a mandatory evacuation!" Yelled Port.

"A safe zone has been established in Vale! Please, remain calm and listen to Atlas personnel!" Yelled Oobleck.

The Young Hunters were still fighting Evil Tim as Grimm and more of his minions jump in to have an all out brawl. As the Young Hunters were still focused on fighting the Grimm and Evil Tim's minions, during the fight, Evil Tim managed to easily smack Coal Flynt to the ground. Evil Tim picked up the Young Hunter Coal by his arm as the monster pulled back his immense scythe. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder that caused him to drop the young leader if Team FNKI and grasp at it, before Evil Tim could even inspect the cause he felt two more immense strikes of pain hit his back and leg.

"Holy silver..." Growled Evil Tim as he could feet the shrapnel from the shotgun blast burn his flesh and started to weaken him. He turned his head and looked around, as he finally set his eye upon Rolf standing there, with his Hammer of Discipline on his back, and the Devil-Slayer shotgun in his hands as he was aiming it at Evil Tim and pumped the pump action shotgun as one of the specially designed bullets flew out with smoke emitting from it as it fell to the ground along with several others.

"Go back to the fires of Hel demon of darkness and destruction! Rolf swears by his world that the Son of a Shepard shall end you!" Yelled Rolf as he shot Evil Tim yet again in the stomach as the holy silver borrowed into his chest along with the blast of the shotgun sending him back a foot or two. Evil Tim looked back up as his body was already starting to repair itself and push out the holy shards as he growled while looking at Rolf.

"Rolf..." Said Evil Tim as he sped at Rolf at lightning fast speeds, grabbing the foreign boy by the face as he lost ahold of his shotgun.

"Your bothering me..." Said Evil Tim as he was running with Evil Tim's face in his hand as he then threw him against a stone statue nearby shattering it as Rolf fell on his feet. He looked over at Evil Tim as Evil Tim quickly used his telekinesis to pick a large bolder out of the ground and chuck it at Rolf. As Rolf saw the huge rock approaching he tried to pull his hammer out but wasn't fast enough as the bolder smashed into Rolf as the farmer fell back to the ground. But Rolf didn't give up as he picked himself back up holding his hammer as he ran towards Evil Tim. But Evil Tim was faster as he viciously laid down two strikes to Rolf's face as the farmer stumbled back and dropped his Hammer of Discipline. Rolf still tried to lunge at the monster but was stopped by a few more vicious punches curtesy of Evil Tim. Evil Tim quickly grabbed Rolf by his throat as the farmer was on his knees with Evil Tim holding another fist out in front of Rolf's face.

"Even if your little friends manage to destroy my invading forces, I will just raise the dead all across Vale as they destroy everything with a heartbeat. Even YOU cannot stop that." Said Evil Tim.

"I am Rolf! Son of a Shepard! And as long as there is life in my breast I shall-... Rolf is running out of things to say! Are you ready, Nora girl?" Evil Tim gave a confused look as he looked back to see a hammer of metal grey and pink as it came rocketing towards his face causing the demon to fly several dozen feet away as he smashed through several structures.

"Good thing I used the gravity." Said Nora holding her hammer and referring to the gravity Dust she put in her weapon to cause Evil Tim to fly as Rolf stood back up and picked up his own hammer.

"Thanks again for showing me that trick." Said Nora.

"No problem, redhead Nora girl. But perhaps we should evacuate!" Said Rolf as Nora nodded determined as they both ran to save as many other people as they could and get to the docks.

Weiss stares at what is in front of her, in disbelief. As Ruby comes running down the path, Zwei barks to alert Weiss to her leader's presence, and Weiss turns around to greet her.

"Ruby!" Yelled Weiss as she saw her team leader.

"Oh, I found you!" Said Ruby.

"Ruby, where have you-"

"Don't worry, I'm fine! What's going on?" Unsure of what to say, Weiss lowers her gaze sadly.

"Weiss? What is it?" Asked Ruby as Weiss steps aside, giving Ruby a clear view of Blake and Yang lying on the ground with Double D crouching over Blake. Both girls and Double D have bandages wrapped around their wounds, and Yang is unconscious. Behind them sit Nora and Ren and the rest of KRJ, who are too battered and bruised to fight. Blake reaches over and places her hand on Yang's, as Double D placed his hand on Blake's.

"I'm so sorry..." Said Blake to both Double D and Yang as tears started to flow from her eyes. Ruby reaches out and opens her mouth to say something, but in her emotional state, she doesn't know what to say.

"Double D... Yang..." Said Blake as she passed out and Double D stood over her as he gripped her hand and his tear drops started to fall on her.

"Hey. She's gonna be okay. The soldiers have a ship ready to take you guys to Vale." Said Sun as he walked over.

"But Jaune and Pyrrha are still missing." Said Nora as she attempts to stand, but she quickly sits back down, groaning and holding her side.

"We have to find them!" Said Kevin as he tried to stand back up, but stopped as his injured leg stopped him from standing up as he fell back down.

"What!?" Yelled Ruby.

"Look, guys, that giant Grimm is circling the school! And Evil Tim is still around! Even the White Fang are pulling out! We all have to go, now!" Said Sun urgently.

"We're not... leaving!" Ren stands up, but then falls to his knees. "Ugh!"

"Guys! I'm here! Nora managed to knock down that monster, but he'll be back up in any second and-" Eddy said as he walked in, but suddenly stopped as he looked over, and saw Double D kneeling over an injured Black as Double D was grasping tightly onto the girls hand as he was sobbing uncontrollably. Eddy stopped as he looked on with confusion and somber as he saw Blake and Yang laying on the floor with Double D kneeling over them and holding Blake's hand... And as he got a closer look, he saw that Yang's arm was missing as he gasped in shock. He looked back at Double D as he saw his friend was still sobbing.

"Double D?... What happened?" Asked Eddy as he slowly walked over to him without getting any type of response.

"Double D! What happened?!" Yelled Eddy more aggressively still without getting a response as the scam artist started to grow angrier and angrier.

"Double D! What happened!? Answer me-" But just as Eddy got close enough and put his hand on Double D's shoulder, Double D suddenly exploded with fury as he turned around and slapped Eddy's hand away as he yelled.

"Don't you DARE touch me!" Yelled Double D as he turned around slapping Eddy's hand away and getting up to his face. Everyone especially Eddy was shocked to see the usually kind skinny and dorky pacifist snap and yell at Eddy with such anger, everyone especially Eddy were shocked by this.

"...What?" Asked Eddy shocked.

"Because of your irresponsibility and rash thinking, you pressed all the buttons on my machine without thinking and brought us HERE! And if that didn't happen that Witch Cinder Fall wouldn't have been able to summon Evil Tim here! And now because of YOU! Evil Tim and his forces are attacking all of Beacon and overwhelmed both the Atlas military and the Hunters! More people had to get hurt and more lives had to be unnecessarily had to be taken away because of your irresponsibility and rash thinking! If you even used your BRAIN for even a millisecond, you could've realized that nothing bad would've happened if you had just LEFT my machine ALONE!" Yelled Double D as Eddy returned the nasty look that Double D was giving him as he said.

"Oh, like you were picking daisies!" Double D then shoved his face into Double D's face. "You BUILT the stupid thing and left those plans out for that BITCH Cinder to get and bring Evil Tim and those other MONSTERS OVER TO THIS WORLD!" Yelled Eddy as Double D grabbed ahold of Eddy and started shoving him back.

"If you had just LISTENED TO ME! AND NOT PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS!" Yelled Double D as the two started pushing one another and shoving each other around. They then exploded into a genuine fight as they were still pushing each other and hitting one another as the Young Hunters watched in horror.

"Stop it!" Yelled Weiss.

"Please! Stop!" Yelled Ruby as it had no effect on the two Ed's as Eddy pushed Double D to the ground and jumped on top of him. But it was only a matter of seconds before Double D put his feet on Eddy's stomach and he kicked him off.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Yelled Double D as he kicked Eddy off as he fell on his back as Double D picked himself up.

"I've had enough of everything!" Yelled Double D as he spoke once more. "I'm returning to Beacon, to find and make Cinder PAY for EVERYTHING she's done! I will also do the same to Evil Tim!" Yelled Double D as he turned around, but Sun and Ruby ran up to him and said.

"Wait Double D! Don't go alone you'll get yourself killed!" Said Ruby.

"Besides everyone's leaving! You can't just-" Sun was interrupted as Double D got up to his face and growled.

"Watch me!" As Double D kept walking. Eddy stood back up and watched his genius of a friend start to walk back to Beacon. Eddy started to tear up as he started to grow increadibly angry, he placed his hands over his head as he started to shake... As he finally exploded.

"FINE! GO DIE! WHO CARES!? YOU BLAME ME FOR YOUR OWN FAULTS?! IS THIS BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO BLAKE!? YOU THINK YOUR THE ONLY ONE IN PAIN!?" Yelled Eddy as the tears running down his face transformed into a full blown sob as Double D stopped in his tracks, and looked back as Eddy started to yell again.

"YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! WE'RE ALL IN PAIN! PEOPLE ARE EITHER HURT OR DEAD! AND NONE OF THAT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED!" Yelled Eddy as Double D stood there for another moment. But closed his eyes in anger as tears started to flow down, as he slowly turned back around and walk away. Eddy continued to sob as he turned around and sobbed into his hands as Sun and Ruby stood there in shock.

That's when Double D spoke into his earpiece. "Penny."

"Umm... Yes?" Penny asked a little nervously, after hearing the fight he just had with his friend.

"I need you to get me model forty-four..."

"But Double D, in your files it said that that suit is still in it's developing stages as-"

"NOW PENNY!" Roared Double D as Penny quickly complied.

"...Okay..." Said Penny unsure as she activated Model Prime.

Ruby and Sun looked on in shock as they saw their genius of a friend walk away. Ruby shook her head as she said.

"No, no, we have to save him, Pyrrha, and Jaune! We can't just leave them!" Yelled Ruby as she turns to all her friends as she said.

"Take care of them... I'll be back." Said Ruby as she ran off and referred to the injured Yang and Blake who were lying on the floor.

"You better be. Idiot." Said Sun as Ruby ran off.


Beacon: Beacon's Entrance

Back near Beacon's entrance, Ed ran around looking everywhere for anyone else he could find as he was battling his way through Grimm and evolved corpse with his Mighty Flipper. He cut down a Creep as he looked around and yelled.

"Yang! Eddy! Double D? Ruby?" But the lump just got no response as he continued to look around in vain. But as he looked over, he saw a one of those jet lockers that was sitting there with it's door hung open. Ed curiously walked over to it as he saw nothing inside it, the locker looked a little familiar as Ed looked around once more, as something very big caught his eye. He walked over to the object as he saw exactly what he needed right there and was stabbed in the ground. He grabbed ahold of the handle as he pulled out the massive blade form the ground as he looked at it.

"The Ed-Sword..." Said Ed as he looked at the blade. But before he could look at the powerful weapon any further, he heard a roar behind him as he turned around. He saw an Alpha Beowolf standing there along with a Griffon and a Boarbatusk standing there ass all three of the creatures growled at him. Ed has already put his Mighty Flipper back on his back as he gripped the Ed-Sword that he was holding in his hands currently as the blade itself started to glow blue with power.

"What are you waiting for!? Come on!" Yelled Ed as all three beasts roared, they then all jumped at him with their razor sharp teeth and claws ready to tear the young man to pieces. But as they were still in mid air Ed powered up his sword with the blue energy surging through it as he swung it with a slash shaped blue energy blast that cut all three of the monsters in half as they evaporated before they even hit the ground with the blue energy rapidly eating away at them. Ed looked on in surprise as he looked back at the sword that was glowing in his hand, but he quickly shook his head as he put the sword behind his back and started walking.

"I can gawk at that weapon any time I want, right now I have to find my friends... And Yang." Said Ed as he walked over to the Docks, where they'd probably be evacuating.


Double D's Lab:

Double D marched angrily down the halls of Beacon as the halls were burning. He had a look of worry and anger on his face as he walked down the burning hall without his armor. That was until he made his way to his lab. He saw that the steel door to his lab was closed and locked, he saw that the cracks to the door were melted shut. By a certain person... Double D growled in anger and worry as he took out his Magnifying glass as he aimed it at the door and used the Dust in it to blast the door open. As Double D walked in his face shifted from one of anger and worry to one of horror as he saw his entire lab on fire... And a certain firey haired lady standing there and being turned away from him. She smirked as she saw Double D standing there.

"Happy to see you can stop by... Do you like what I've done with the place?" Asked Cinder smiling as she gestured to the burning room.

"You..." Said Double D as he raised up his hand and pointed his finger at the power hungry lady. "Your the one who caused all this... Destroying Penny, framing Yang and Ed, bringing Evil Tim to this world, and bringing the Grimm to Beacon... It was all you... Ed was right all along..." Said Double D angrily.

"Yes, it was... Except for framing you moronic friend, that was Evil Tim." Smiled Cinder as Double D lowered his finger and stared at the woman with a look that could kill.

"Why are you in my lab?..." Asked Double D with venom in his voice.

"Just to make sure that I destroy your last chance of ever getting back home..." Said Cinder smiling as she held he hand up and aimed it towards Double D's Interdimensional Teleportation Machine. Double D looked on in fear as he reached his hand out and yelled.

"Wait no-!" But it was too late as fire erupted from Cinders palm as she turned the machine to ashes with her fire blast right before Double D's eyes. Double D had a face of absolute terror as he was still processing the face that Cinder just destroyed the interdimensional machine... But he still had the blueprints! If he could save them from the raging fires around the lab he could- But as Double D looked back up, he looked in horror once again as he saw Cinder standing there and holding a piece of blue paper in her hand. She let out another malevolent and mocking smile as she burnt the paper to ashes...

Double D took a step back, he couldn't believe it, he just couldn't believe that the ONLY way of getting back home was the machine. But Cinder destroyed it along with the blue prints to create another one. Double D couldn't just whip up another machine out of thin air, he needed very specific parts and extremely expensive supplies. The type only Ozpin could provide with his wealth, not to mention the blueprints provides the information on how to build the machine exactly how it was supposed to be. But now, the blueprints and the machine are both gone.

"So, how do you want to die alien? Quick and painless? Or slow and painful?" Asked Cinder as she walked up to the shocked Double D who was still processing everything.

"Your new friends... I heard about what happened to that bimbo and that Faunus girl, what a tragedy, you couldn't save them... I can see how much pain your in, how about I end it?" Asked Cinder as she pulled her hand back up and aimed it at the Genius.

"Nothing to say? No remark? Nothing? How pathet-"

"Quiet!" Yelled Double D as he stared down Cinder, being only two feet away from one another. "Do you think this is a game? People are dead!" Yelled Double D.

"All making room for the new ruler of this world..." Said Cinder as her hand started to light up with fire. But before she could turn Double D to ash, a hand popped out of nowhere and grabbed her wrist. She looked over as she saw one of Double D's suits standing there, but this one was different. She didn't even hesitate as she pulled back her free hand and blasted the suit with a fire bloom. But when the fire subsided, the suit was still standing there gripping Cinder's wrist as it tossed her several feet across the room. But she stood back up as she stared at Double D and the suit angrily as she stood straight with her eyes burning.

"Thanks, Penny." Said Double D talking into his earpiece.

"The robot? Oh how cute, did you download her onto your little toys? Well then, I guess I will just have to finish the job of killing the piece of scrap again along with this little genius..." Said Cinder as she walked forward slowly with her hands up and burning.

"Oh, I don't think so witch." Said Double D as the extremely sleek version of Double D's original suit Jim, separated into hundreds of little pieces as they all pieced themselves together around Double D.

"This suit is different from my others... I call this the 'Model Prime' or just 'Jim Prime'... I did have to visit a few alternate realities with my interdimensional machine to make this armor and get the proper supplies I needed, but it was worth it. With this suit I've merged all of my armor types into one. It's armor that can change shape and color based on the mission, and not only that but I can use the powers and capabilities of several suits at once... How about Bloo and WaterHazard? A suit designed to fight in extreme heat and has freeze rays on it, and one that is designed to blast enemies with blast of high pressure water..." Said Double D as right before Cinder's eyes the suit transformed into a bit of a more bulky armor with red and blue armor around it with large claws.

Cinder looked in amazement for only a millisecond before she looked pridefully as Double D as she continued her stroll with her hands burning. She lifted her hand up as she blasted the genius with a flurry of fire that should've turned him and his suit to ash. But it only took another few seconds as Cinder saw the metal face of Double D walk through the flames without a scratch on his armor, that's when Double D punched his fist through the flames to try and hit Cinder but the woman merely hopped out of the way as she did a few back flips away from the robotic armor. That's when Double D lifted up his palm and started blasting water at the force of 8,000 PSI, enough force to break rock and punch through metal. He blasted it as Cinder but only managing to shatter the floor as Cinder kept jumping out of the way of all of Double D's attacks, she then quickly sped forward as she placed her hands on Double D's chest, and delivering the full force of her power right at Double D blasting him back and through the wall with the edges of the newly formed hole having burn marks on them. Cinder gave another arrogant smile, before she looked in the smoke to see a figure walk through the fire. Even with the power of the Fall Maiden, her fire blasts were no match for this setting of Double D's armor.

"What do you not understand the meaning of 'Flame retardant'?" Asked Double D as he stepped through the hole and walked up back to Cinder.

Cinder's confident smirk wavered a bit as she pulled out her duel blades and sped at Double D, she tried her very best with her sword fighting skills to slice Double D to pieces. But thanks to Double D's suit knowing everything about combat and all type of fighting, it simply dodged almost each and every blow. And each blow he didn't dodge, he simply redirected them as his suit was reacting to attacks a hundred times faster then Double D's human brain could process. Not to mention Penny's own help in making the suit process information faster then it already could. The melee eventually stopped as Double D smacked the blades away from him as he head butted the woman and sending her back several feet. She looked back at him with a hateful glare as she transformed her weapons back into their bow and arrow form as she pulled back on the string and fired three arrows at Double D. But all that Double D did was activate his freeze ray as he aimed it and blasted it creating a wall of ice in front of him. But all the arrows did was the second they came close to the wall of ice they disintegrated into ash then quickly reformed as all the burning arrows hit Double D. The arrows would pierce right through his armor with their heat enhancement with any other armor. But the one he was wearing were just nothing more then annoying nuisances, he just pulled them out of his armor and snapped them like they were nothing.

He then looked back at Cinder through the transparent ice wall, as he ignited the jets on his boots as he charged his way through the ice wall shattering it as he charged at Cinder. Cinder tried to defend herself once again but was no match for Double D as he charged in with his powerful metallic punches as he managed to punch Cinder several times before aiming his freeze ray at her and managed to freeze her solid before she could try and attack him with another burning blast. But Double D shattered the ice prison the woman was in as he froze her solid again and continued with the same process doing it again, and again, and again, and a final time but instead of punching her out of the ice prison he aimed his water cannons at her face and blasted her against the wall, freeing her but heavily damaging her as she hit the wall and slid down it. Unable to fight any further. Double D then walked closer to the woman as he stood over her, crouching down and grabbing her by her dress and bringing her face to face.

"I should leave you to burn for everything you've done. It's certainly what you deserve but apparently you have some sort of power Ironwood doesn't want Evil Tim getting his hands on. Ed was right all along and I will never question his claims as matter how odd they are again. So you get to go through but don't think you're just walking away from this, Cinder Fall."

Cinder was too weak to fight back against Double D as he continued.

"You stole the designs for my portal, brought Evil Tim here, framed me, Ed and Yang for crimes we would never commit, murdered a friend and tricked her into almost killing another and I even bet you stole the jump drive I meant for Ironwood to have to prepare Remnant against Evil Tim. In all my life I've never met someone as evil and cruel as you and I wish to heaven I could just leave you to be fed to Evil Tim. But fortunately for me even if you do get away you still don't get off for what you did." Double D's eyes narrowed as he glared evilly at Cinder. "Because Evil Tim has told everyone what you have done and now everyone knows it, including what happened at the tournament. You stole someone's power to become strong but now you are just weak and pathetic... After today you will be hated by everyone in Remnant till the end of time. No matter where you go you...Are...Hated. But not more than anyone in this room today." Said Double D as Cinder just stared at him. But Double D blew up in anger as he saw Cinder just smile and laugh at him. Double D didn't even care as he pulled back his fist as he was about to hit Cinder as hard as he could. But before he knew it, flames erupted all around him, he was still safe in the suit but his view was blocked by the intense flames in front of him. A couple of seconds passed as the flames finally dissipated and Double D could see again. But as he looked around, he saw that Cinder had just vanished.

Double D looked around the burning lab frantically, finding nothing... Double D yelled in anger.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"


Beacon Tower:

In front of Beacon Tower Jaune and Pyrrha run out of the front door.

"Okay, I think I have Glynda's number." Said Jaune as he walks away, looking at his Scroll. "Oh, where is it?"

Pyrrha turns and stares silently at Beacon Tower. Jaune's voice soon breaks her concentration.

"Pyrrha? What was all of that?" Asked Jaune confused as she turns to look at Jaune.

"I..." Their conversation is interrupted by an explosion, followed by Cinder using fire to fly up through the elevator shaft. The two teens stare at the tower in surprise.

"But... Ozpin..." Said Jaune.

"There's no time." Said Pyrrha as she shakes her head, then looks at Jaune, quickly adopting a determined tone. "Go. Get to Vale and call for help."

"Huh? What are you gonna do?" Asked Jaune as Pyrrha slowly turns her head to stare up at the top of Beacon Tower. Following her gaze, Jaune realizes what she plans to do.

"No... no, Pyrrha, you can't. You saw how powerful she is! Pyrrha, I won't let you do-" But Jaune was interrupted as suddenly, Pyrrha grabs Jaune's head in both hands and silences him with a long kiss on the lips. After a moment of hesitation, he gently pulls her in and returns the kiss, while Pyrrha slightly raises her foot behind her. She then pulls away, ending the kiss, and stares into his eyes, one hand on his cheek and the other on his chest.

"I'm sorry." Said Pyrrha sadly as she then uses her Semblance on his armor, pushing him directly into a nearby locker, which slams shut from the impact.

"Hey! Wait! Stop, stop! Pyrrha, please don't do this!" While Jaune pleads, Pyrrha walks over to the locker and begins typing coordinates into it. She looks him in the eyes one last time, before stepping back and watching the locker fly away. Once it vanishes into the distance, she clenches her fists and, once again, adopts a determined demeanor as she walks toward the tower.

Once she steps through the entrance, she runs to the nearest elevator and uses her Semblance to force the doors open. Inside, she finds that Cinder has left a large hole in the floor and roof of the elevator on her way up. Pyrrha steps inside the elevator, closes her eyes, and begins mustering all of her strength. The elevator begins shaking. She focuses even harder, straining herself, until the elevator begins a quick ascent toward the top.


Beacon: The Docks

Everyone was still being loaded up on the evacuation ships as the only people that were left were Eddy, Weiss, Sun, Ren, Nora, Rolf, Kevin, Jonny, Blake, and Yang. Eddy stood there silently with red swollen eyes as he tried his best to suck up his tears and help out, they were about to load up the last of the students until... They all heard foot steps approaching them, and as everyone looked over to the source of the noise... They saw Evil Tim walking towards them, without a scratch on him as he made his way up to Eddy and Weiss who stood guard in front of their friends.

"Do not worry, I will make your execution quick... As I place your skull in my trophy collection, Eddy." Said Evil Tim looking down on Eddy and Weiss.

"And after I'm finished with you and your friends, I will retrieve what could be a useful power to me... The witch, I can sense her power from here, I'm sure even you can too, and after I summon her power." Evil Tim grabs Eddy by the head as Eddy started to struggle. "I will become even more powerful..." Said Evil Tim as he pulls back his massive scythe as he then holds it over the two teens heads as everyone looked on in horror. Everyone was either too weak or injured to defend them. But Weiss held her blade up and she instinctively uses a summoning glyph, confusing closes her eyes and grits her teeth as she discovers she summoned the arm and sword of the Giant Armor she fought before, who blocks the Evil Tim's Harbinger and uses it's blade to push Evil Tim's scythe back thus pushing the dark sorcerer back.

"What the- Weiss?..." Asked Eddy as he looked at her with amazement, looking at herself in amazement. But the two focused one the threat at hand as the looked over and saw Evil Tim walking back over to them with his scythe. The arm and sword of the Giant Armor tried to cleave Evil Tim in half, but without even using his scythe grabs the incoming blade with his hand stopping it in mid swing. As he then digs his claws into the blade with purple cracks starting to form around the sword and armor to everyone's shock and surprise, as Evil Tim suddenly shatters it causing Weiss to moan in pain as she fell on her knees.

"WEISS!" Yelled Eddy as he tried to attend to the heiress as Evil Tim looked back down as the young heroes as he said.

"Fascinating ability, perhaps you will be useful to me after I resurrect you back from the dead to fight for me."

"Don't you dare talk to her like that, freak!" Yelled Eddy as he tried to attack him, but Evil Tim just smacked him back down to the ground, as blood seeped from his mouth.

"SILENCE! I AM GOING TO ENJOY MAKING YOU SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME YEARS AGO!" Yelled Evil Tim as he raised up his scythe to strike down Eddy.

Ed walked in the second all this was happening as he finally made his way over to the docks and was standing on them. But as he looked over, he saw Evil Tim standing there over Eddy and Weiss, with Eddy knocked to the ground with drops of blood coming from his mouth, seeing everyone else hurt and staring at Evil Tim with fear in their eyes... But the thing that set off Ed, was Yang lying on the floor next to Blake with... With a clothe wrapped around the stub of where Yang's arm was, Ed looked on in shock... He was processing all of this as tears started to fall from his eyes with an overwhelming wave of guilt hitting him like a massive tsunami. Ed curled his hands into fists as all the emotions inside of him built up until they exploded with him screaming.

The scream caught everyone's attention as they all looked over to see Ed standing there screaming. But only a half a second passed as Ed ran at Evil Tim at such a high speed that it created a sonic boom as Ed grabbed Evil Tim and charged forward all the way to the Beacon tower, as during the whole way he crashes Evil Tim through a small dorm crashes through a small dorm building while holding him, yelling at the top of his lungs. He then smashes him into the ground, but keeps running, causing Evil Tim's back to scrap against the hard unforgiving earth all the while punching him repeatedly in the face, all the while yelling.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN HURT MY FRIENDS!?" As they finally crash into the Beacon tower. The Tower shakes as Cinder who was near the top and Pyrrha looked around with strange looks wondering what happened, but Cinder ignored it as she just continued to make her way to the top of the tower. Both Ed and Evil Tim were buried under piles of rubble, but it didn't take long as the two tanks burst out from the rubble as Evil Tim started brushing himself off.

"You hurt me without the use of silver or holy relics... Impressive I must say." Said Evil Tim as he was dusting himself off as Ed just glared at the demon the whole time. Ed continued to glare at the monster before he spoke.

"I'm going to make sure you don't hurt another living soul EVER again, Evil Tim!" Yelled Ed as he reached behind his back as he pulled out his Mighty Flipper in his left hand and pulled out the Ed-Sword in his right hand. Ready for battle as Evil Tim looked at him with his glowing eye.

"If you wanted to die... You could've easily just have asked me..." Said Evil Tim as he pulled out the Harbinger once more with the mystical weapon surging with dark purple energy. Ed stood his ground as he still glared at the demon.

"I am going to kill you... Just like what I did to your counterpart in MY world..." Said Evil Tim as the two started to walk towards one another, as it quickly evolved into charging screams as Ed raised his weapons and Evil Tim raised his own weapon as the two collided starting off their spectacular battle.


Outside Beacon Tower:

Ruby was on her way to the tower to save Jaune, Pyrrha, and Double D. But as she was running down the street, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Wait up!" Ruby stopped and looked behind her to see Weiss and Eddy running over to her with the Devil-Slayer shotgun strapped to Eddy's back along with a sack of the Omni-Grenades.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Asked Ruby looking at the scam artist and the heiress.

"Duh! We're her to help!" Said Weiss.

"We gotta save Ed and Double D! I'm not going to let them die!" Yelled Eddy angrily.

"Okay! Okay! I think they're all at the Beacon To-" But the crimson reaper was silenced as Weiss' scroll vibrated. She picked it up as she looked at it.

"It's Jaune!" She answers. "Where are you?"

Jaune was standing in a street somewhere in Vale. There's panic in his voice. "Weiss! Please, you have to stop her!"

"What!?" Asked Weiss

"Pyrrha! She's going after that woman at the top of the tower! She doesn't stand a chance!" Yelled Jaune.

"Jaune, what are you talking about!? Where are you?" Asked Weiss.

Jaune then shouts into the Scroll's speaker. "Don't worry about me!" He leans against a wall and speaks at a normal volume, his voice full of sadness now. "Please, you have to save Pyrrha."

"We will. Are you okay?" Asked Weiss as with one last flare of emotion, Jaune screams and throws his Scroll onto the ground, breaking it. He collapses onto his hands and knees, crying.

"Please..." Said Jaune.

"Jaune? Jaune!" Yelled Weiss but got no response as the ground shakes, alerting Ruby, Eddy, and Weiss to the danger that approaches them. The Dragon flies into view, circling Beacon Tower with black ooze dripping from it. It perches on one of the arches stemming from the tower and utters a screech. Ruby draws Crescent Rose, shifting it into its scythe form in preparation for the Grimm spawning from the ooze.

"I have a plan." Said Ruby.

"You always do." Said Weiss as she draws her sword along with Eddy drawing his Swordfish. But Eddy still had a face of distress, he turns and looks at the girls as he said.

"I'm going to find them... And if I don't make it back... Weiss, just know that I truly love you." Said Eddy as before Weiss could even speak he ran off to the tower as Ruby and Weiss stared in shock.

"Eddy wait! Please!" But Weiss didn't get a response as Eddy ran inside the giant hole that was made to the entrance of the tower.

"Eddy!" Yelled Weiss as she ran forward and Ruby followed, but they were stopped as they were blocked by several Grimm blocking their paths. The girls readied their weapons as they were about to fight.


Top of the Beacon Tower:

At the top of the tower, in Ozpin's office, a large amount of smoke flows out from the elevator, masking the entrance of Cinder Fall. She confidently strides to the window across the room, a smirk on her face. As if sensing her presence, the Dragon climbs up to the top, peers at her through the window, and screeches.

"Shhhh... This is your home now." Said Cinder in a comforting tone.

The Dragon stares at her and utters a shorter, quieter screech. Cinder backs away from the window and holds her hand out to the side, creating a fireball in her palm. The sound of sparks distracts her, and she looks over her shoulder at the elevator, her fireball dissipating. After a few moments, the sparks come to a stop, and immediately upon the elevator doors' opening, Pyrrha's spear flies toward Cinder, who casually leans to her right to dodge with a smirk on her face.

The spear is soon followed by Pyrrha's shield, backed by Pyrrha herself, and Cinder puts her arms up, blocking it and pushing it away. While Cinder uses fire to hover in the air, Pyrrha calls her spear and shield back to her with polarity, staring down her opponent. Cinder gains a fiery glow around her eyes and swipes her hand through the air, attacking Pyrrha with an arc of fire. She then shoots a stream of fire, which Pyrrha dives over.

Six small fireballs form in a circle behind Cinder, and she sends another streak of fire toward Pyrrha, who barely avoids it. Once again, the Maiden sends a stream of fire the young redhead's way, but this time, Pyrrha blocks it with her shield. She leaps toward Cinder, powering through the flame, and as soon as the fire stops, she spins around and slashes Cinder's arm with her spear. However, Cinder catches the blade and pulls, turning Pyrrha around. Cinder slams her palm into Pyrrha's stomach, and fire bursts forth, blasting Pyrrha away.

Pyrrha slams into a wall and falls to her hands and knees. She then stands back up and faces Cinder with determination still in her eyes. Cinder propels herself forward with flames jetting from her hands, smirking once again. She attempts to slam into Pyrrha's abdomen, but Pyrrha leaps into the air above her and wraps her arm around Cinder's. As Cinder slows to a stop, Pyrrha positions herself to place her feet on the wall behind her and pushes off, flipping herself over Cinder. She uses the momentum to flip and toss Cinder across the floor.


Beacon Other Floors:

(CRASH!)

Ed was thrown through one of the upper office floors of the buildings as he landed, with the entire floor having lines of abandoned computers and communication stations. Ed was flat on his face, but as he picked himself back off the ground and looked back behind him of the hole he was thrown through. As suddenly before he knew it Evil Tim jumped out of the hole and landed in front of the lump, Harbinger in hand. The demon towered over the lump as held his two blades back up, as the two started to go at it and land flurries of attacks on one another and blocking them. But Evil Tim proved to actually be surprisingly skilled and agile as he was jumping over Ed's attacks and managing to kick and hit the lump. Ed still tried his best to fight back but to little avail, he tried to strike Evil Tim viciously with his Mighty Flipper. But all it served to do is make Evil Tim madder as he head-butted Ed with so much force that it sent him across the room with the shockwave blasting all the desks and communication stations to the sides or out the windows with the floor itself receiving damage. Ed his the wall as he slid back down.

Ed slowly picked himself up as he looked back as his enemy who pulled back his massive scythe and started to run forward. Ed quickly grew a face of determination as he charged at Evil Tim as well with both swords in hand. As they were about six feet away from one another, Evil Tim swings his scythe as it creates a purple blast of energy that Ed managed to avoid by leaning backwards and dodging the blast as the blast tore through the building shaking it even further, all the while Ed was on the floor and was sliding on his knees, before Evil Tim could react Ed kicked his legs from the floor as Evil Tim was falling to the ground. In mid air Evil Tim still while on his back lifted his legs and kicked Evil Tim to the ceiling sending large cracks through the structure. As Evil Tim fell back down Ed quickly picked himself back up as he kicked Evil Tim to the other side of the room and shattering the wall he was thrown against.

But as the dust from the broken wall cleared, he still saw Evil Tim standing there with his glowing purple eye. He just simply marched forward with his scythe pulsing with purple dark magical energy while dragging the blade against the floor and holding up his palm towards Ed as he started to throw purple fireballs at him. Ed charged at Evil Tim as he used both blades to knock the dark fire blasts away or try and dodge them the best he could. As Ed finally ran up to Tim and had a melee battle, Ed was using all his strength and both his blades to the best of his ability as he was fighting the demon, Evil Tim blocked every attack as he twirled his scythe around with a type of skill set that would make Qrow jealous as Ed, was lucky enough to either dodge or block every attack. Ed already knew that a strike from a weapon like that would cause massive amounts of damage. As they were going back and forth, Ed was finally able to cut Tim three times with his Ed-Sword. Evil Tim retracted in pain, but quickly fought back as he knocked the two blades out of Ed's hands and slice him across the arm. Causing Ed to jump back and scream in pain.

But that wasn't until Evil Tim grabbed Ed by the face and held him above the ground as the big lump was struggling.

"It is inevitable you know... The death of you and your friends, and after I kill all of you, I will destroy the rest of your friends..." Said Evil Tim smugly as he started to crush Ed's head in his large palm. But, Evil Tim was interrupted as something blasted him across the room and caused him to loose his grip of Ed as the blue beam of energy sent him several feet across the room, until he got his Barings and stood his ground putting his arms up to try and defend himself against the incoming beam of energy as beast as he could. Until he put up a magical force field around him that completely protected him from the blast. As the energy blast subsided, Ed looked over at where the blast originated from as he saw what looked like to be Double D's Jim armor hovering there with a much more new sleek appearance hovering in the open elevator shaft.

"Double D?" Asked Ed as Double D landed and Evil Tim brought down his shields.

"I'm not going to let you fight him alone Ed." Said Double D turning his head to Ed before turning it back to Evil Tim.

"Ahh... Double D with a new invention I see... A new suit different from the others. Your inventions couldn't save you back in my world, what makes you think they will save you and your friends now?" Asked Evil Tim gesturing with his hand.

"Because, we will face off against you toge-"

"HOLD IT!" Everyone including Evil Tim looked over to see Eddy standing there and panting and he placed his hands on his knees.

"*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*... The stairs... *Pant* *Pant* So many stairs..." Said Eddy as he finally caught his breath and stood straight up again.

"It's not just going to be two of us fighting you... It's going to be all three of us..." Said Double D as he looked over at Double D who looked back at him.

"We may be in disagreement right now... But we will still defend each other, our new friends, and this WORLD from the likes of you!" Yelled Double D as Eddy looked over at him and tossed the bag of Omni-Grenades at him that he caught without any trouble. The Ed's and Evil Tim then stared down one another.

"Do you truly believe that you have any hope of stopping me?..." Asked Evil Tim.

"Well, maybe alone..." Said Ed as he looked back at his two friends, and then looked back.

"But we'll never lose together..." Said Eddy as he smiled and the Ed's all got in their battle positions along with Evil Tim. Another moment passed before the Ed's and Evil Tim all charged at one another with their weapons drawn and yelling their war cry as they collided.

Evil Tim already jumped in the middle of the Ed's as he was swinging his Harbinger all around trying to cut the Ed's to pieces, but luckily the Ed's managed to either dodge or block them. Ed charge in with his Ed-Sword and managed to cut Evil Tim across the shoulder, but Evil Tim quickly retaliated by kicking Ed into a concrete beam shattering it. But that's when Evil Tim was suddenly hit with another powerful pulse blast by Double D, but this time Evil Tim blocked the beam with his hand as he charged up his eye with energy and trying to blast it at Double D, but Double D jumped out of the way and being lucky enough to avoid the powerful beam that pierced right though the building when the genius jumped out of the way. Double D tried again to retaliate while flying in the air and launching miniature missiles at Evil Tim which exploded upon impact. But as the smoke quickly cleared, Evil Tim could still be seen standing there unphased by the attacks. That's when Double D came charging in from the air with his fist raised up ready to knock the demon's block off. But suddenly Evil Tim raised his hand up and started to shock the suit with a magical dark bolt of electricity. Double D's vitals started to go haywire as Penny could already sense that Double D was dying.

"Double D! Your dying!" Yelled Penny.

"Penny! I- AGH!" Double D couldn't finish because of all the pain that was surging through his body. But before Double D could die Evil Tim was slashed at from his side and stopping the blast of torturous electricity.

Evil Tim looked over to see that it was Eddy brandishing his Swordfish and Devil-Slayer as Double D started to pick himself back off of the ground. Eddy charged at Evil Tim dodging out of the way of his attacks and managing to slice at him with his blade. Though when Evil Tim tried to reach for him, Eddy pulled out his Devil-Slayer and managed to blast Evil Tim's fingers off his right hand as the monster groaned in pain. Evil Tim tried to swipe at Eddy again but the scam artist jumped out of the way and get far enough away from the monster.

All the while Double D was still on his hands and knees trying to recover from the attack as Penny started to speak to him.

"You can't fight anymore! I'm not going to let you die!" Yelled Penny as Double D tried to get back up on his feet.

"Penny! I'm fin-" But before Double D could even finish, Penny shot him out of the suit as she took full control of it and activated extra armor and more advanced weapons systems as the suit hovered into the air and transformed it's arms into giant lazer cannons. Evil Tim looked over as he acknowledged the threat, Penny fired the cannons as Evil Tim quickly charged up his eye and fired it at Penny as a blue beam of energy started to fight against a purple beam of energy that was starting to shake and crack the ceiling and the floor. They struggled a while with the beam, until Evil Tim smashed his foot into the ground that created a snaking line of darkness on the floor that creeped under the suit. Until...

(Shring!)

Black spikes popped out of the floor and impaled the suit in several different places. As Penny struggled for life in the suit and tried her best to escape, Evil Tim didn't notice an odd looking grenade that was coming right at him as it exploded covering napalm all over him as simultaneously being set on fire by the explosion itself and being covered in shards of silver yet again. They were called "Omni-Grenades" and can do much more then just be a silver scatterer for demonic monsters. Double D smiled after throwing the grenade as he ran over to Penny as the spikes retreated back into the ground as the suit fell, while instantly starting to repair itself.

As Evil Tim readied to get back into battle, he didn't see Eddy dash over to him and before he could react, screamed directly into his ear sending him flying back into the wall as the rest of the windows started to shatter. Eddy was not holding back this time as he started to scream as loud as he could, but Evil Tim stood his ground and marched forward against the powerful soundwaves. The soundwaves started to shatter the wall and the rest of the building that Evil Tim was behind as they started to fall back to the ground below. But that's when Eddy suddenly stopped as he looked over to Ed and yelled out.

"NOW ED!" As Evil Tim looked over at him, the lump raised up his Ed-Sword as he was about to cleave the Evildoer in half, but Evil Tim pulled out his scythe as he blocked Ed's strike and the two started to struggle against one another's forces with the two mystically empowered weapons. With blue, white, purple, and black energy starting to blast in all directions across the room and starting to make the floor completely and totally unstable. Double D put his suit back on as the genius and the scam artist started to look on at the titanic struggle between Ed with the Ed-Sword and Evil Tim with the Harbinger. But, just as it looked like Ed was starting to push back Evil Tim's force and Evil Tim started to loose... Out of nowhere...

(Shatter!)

the Ed-Sword shattered... Ed, Edd, and Eddy all looked on with shock and horror as the blade that was MADE to DESTROY Evil Tim and was told to have vast amounts of power in it was shattered into countless pieces. Evil Tim himself looked on in surprise for only a second, until it changed to a feeling of pride and victory. As the broken remnants of his sword hit the floor.. Ed fell down on his hands and knees with the handle of the once mighty sword in his hand. He was still looking down in shock as Tim stood over him triumphantly. Ed looked up at Evil Tim with a look of shock and despair as Evil Tim looked down at him and smirking under his mask, and before Ed could react Evil Tim kicked Ed in the chin with so much force it caused him to fly upwards through several more floors of the building.

Eddy and Double D looked on in shock as Evil Tim slowly turned his head back to them... As his eye started to glow brighter with power.

"It will be well for you to know... That I honed my skills in the gladiatorial pits of eternal suffering! In what you call HELL!"


Top of the Beacon Tower:

Cinder lands on her front and, as she slides, she pushes off the floor to get back on her feet and perform a back-handspring. Her smirk turns into a look of slight concern upon the sight of Pyrrha charging forward to slam her shield into Cinder's abdomen and push her over. As Cinder stumbles backwards, Pyrrha hits Cinder's right hand with the blunt end of her spear, then slashes Cinder's left hand with the spear's blade. She then spins around and slashes across Cinder's abdomen and legs.

Pyrrha spins around to attack again, but Cinder performs a backflip whilst kicking Pyrrha, with flames trailing behind her foot. The kick knocks Pyrrha into the air, and Pyrrha quickly rights herself. She flips her spear in her grip, holds it back, and then tosses it toward Cinder while firing the gun mechanism. Six fireballs appear around Cinder again, but they dissipate when Cinder backhands the spear away. Pyrrha's shield then flies toward her, and she hits it away, as well. After being momentarily distracted by the shield, Cinder returns her attention to Pyrrha and gains a look of slight surprise, then annoyance.

Pyrrha launches herself toward Cinder and puts her arms around her, tackling her. The two turn each other in mid-air, fighting to be the one on top. Upon their landing, the room fills with a white cloud. When the dust settles, Pyrrha has Cinder in a choke hold, and Cinder is barely managing to hold Pyrrha's spear away from her neck. The Dragon flies away, and Cinder's eyes begin glowing as she applies heat to the spear in her hands. Her grip tightens as she heats the spear more and more, staring over her shoulder at Pyrrha.

Upon hearing a loud screech, Cinder turns her gaze ahead and smirks, while Pyrrha gains a look of fear. While Pyrrha sets her focus on the Dragon that is flying toward the tower, Cinder finally snaps the spear's melted blade into pieces. Just before the Dragon slams its wing into the roof of Ozpin's office, Cinder elbows Pyrrha in the abdomen. The room fills with a green glow as the windows shatter and Pyrrha goes flying across the room. Giant cogs and debris come crashing down in the office, and the structure containing the CCT's transmitter falls to the ground outside, in pieces.

Pyrrha crawls toward her shield, while Cinder watches on from her position levitating off the floor with flame jetting from her feet. While looking for a way to distract Cinder, Pyrrha notices Ozpin's collapsed metal desk and uses her polarity to throw it at the corrupt Maiden, knocking her to the floor. She then quickly grabs her shield and rolls across the floor, sitting up on her knees and holding the shield up. With a burst of flame, Cinder throws the desk off of herself and levitates in the air.

Pyrrha rolls out of the way of two streams of fire that Cinder sends her way and attempts to block a third. However, the force of the third sends Pyrrha tumbling backward, and the floor momentarily catches fire while Pyrrha rolls to her feet. From behind the wall of flame, Pyrrha throws her shield at Cinder, who confidently backhands it away. She then looks up in surprise to see a multitude of giant cogs floating in the air around her. Using her polarity, Pyrrha directs her shield to knock Cinder's feet from beneath her and then slams a cog down on Cinder's abdomen to pin her to the floor. She calls her shield back to her arm, then brings the cogs together into a pile on top of Cinder. However, Cinder blasts them away with a powerful burst of fire, sending them in all directions. One of the cogs flies toward Pyrrha, who raises her shield to block, in vain. The force of the impact slams her into the remains of a wall, taking away the last of her Aura.


Beacon Other Floors:

Ed woke up as he just found out he was on a higher floor, he quickly picked himself back up as he looked back down into the hole where he was launched from. Only for a dark hand to pop out of it and grab ahold of Ed's face, tossing him against the wall nearby as Ed fell back to the floor with his Aura depleted. Evil Tim levitated out of the hole as he stood on the floor, staring at Ed. But as Evil Tim raised up his hand that was burning with a purple fire, Double D in his suit suddenly popped out of the hole grabbing Evil Tim's fist and summoning enough strength to toss him into the opposite standing wall. Evil Tim picked himself up yet again as he turned around to face Double D hovering there and Eddy crawling out of the hole that was made. Evil Tim was about to pull out his scythe as suddenly, there was a gunshot that resonated through the air as Evil Tim felt a pain in his chest, he saw Eddy holding the Devil-Slayer in his hands as he pumped it and shot at Evil Tim yet again with the tiny silver pellets imbedding themselves into Evil Tim's flesh.

Eddy pumped the demon killing shotgun as he shot Evil Tim yet again sending him tumbling back, doing it again as the monster took a few steps back. Then again, then again, then again, and then again as Evil Tim was right over the ledge of the broken wall to the hard concrete ground. But as Eddy tried to fire once more... He heard a click as he pulled the trigger. The gun was empty. Evil Tim leaned forward once more as he looked at Eddy. Putting up his finger and shook his finger as his body was already starting to push the silver out. Eddy threw down the shotgun with a groan of anger as Evil Tim started to walk forward. But, only two steps in and Eddy instantly pulled air into his lungs once more, as he screamed straight at Evil Tim with everything he got. The soundwaves tore several dozen pieces of the building off as Evil Tim was seriously struggling against the soundwaves as he put his arms up and tried to march forward.

But the scream was just too much as he just couldn't take the sound blast any more and rocketed away from the building as he started to fly miles away. Eddy finally stopped screaming as he stood there, with Double D and Ed staring at amazement at their friend. Eddy slowly turned around, exhausted, looking at his friends. Waiting a few more moments, Eddy finally believed that he defeated Evil Tim. But, as the dust clouded around the room, Eddy looked back to see a shadow rise from the ground.

"Oh... You've GOT to be kidding me..." Said Eddy as the shadow came closer.

"I didn't come here to hear you whisper..." Said Evil Tim as he SUDDENLY popped from the smoke bloody and tattered as he yelled.

"I WANT TO HEAR YOU SCREAM!" As he suddenly lays several powerful punches on Eddy that threw him to the floor, already being knocked out by the astronomically powerful punches of the demon as Eddy lied there battered, bleeding, and bruised. Evil Tim wasted no time as he pulled out his scythe once again as he was about to finish the deed. But before he could strike down, he looked up to see Double D charge at him with his suit huge red and bulky as he marched forward, being in its fifteen foot tall Ed-Buster mode.

"Don't you DARE hurt him!" Yelled Double D as he threw a massive fist forward, but Evil Tim's only response to this was to effortlessly dodge the incoming blow as he quickly caught the mechanical fist, and with his mighty strength tore the massive fist off the suit as he quickly threw it aside and pulled out the Harbinger. Double D quickly tried to hit him yet again with his other fist but Evil Tim sliced that arm off with his scythe as he quickly stabbed the scythe right through Double D's suit. Luckily missing Double D as the dark lord held the mechanical suit up by just his scythe. Double D tried to charge up his concussive eye beam to blast at Evil Tim. But before he even could he tossed Double D out of the building as the massive Ed-Buster suit landed to the ground.

Ed, slowly picked himself up yet again. Bleeding from his shoulder from the steel beam from earlier and several other wounds that he was bleeding from. But Ed didn't let that stop him as he had a determined look on his face, holding his Mighty Flipper with both hands as he was staring down the demon. Evil Tim simply started to march over to him as always with his eye glowing even brighter then before.


At the Bottom of the Tower:

On the ground below, Ruby and Weiss fight off Grimm.

"We've gotta hurry!" Yelled Ruby as they were fighting off Grimm while Weiss looks around for a moment, before casting a series of glyphs up the side of the tower.

"You can do this." Said Weiss as Ruby runs forward, then uses her Semblance to propel herself up to the first glyph. She then sprints up the wall, the glyphs propelling her forward and keeping her from falling off.


Cinder forms an obsidian bow in her hand. As she raises it up and draws back an obsidian arrow, Pyrrha charges forward, spins, and throws her shield at her. Cinder looses the arrow, which shatters upon impact with the side of the shield. However, as the fragments part ways above and below the shield, they glow orange and rejoin each other on the other side. The fragments melt into each other and cool into the shape of an arrow, which continues on its path directly into Pyrrha's ankle. Pyrrha collapses in pain. She attempts to pull herself to her feet, but the pain is too much. Both ends of the arrow break off, making removal impossible. She turns over onto her hands and knees as Cinder moves to stand in front of her.

"It's unfortunate you were promised a power that was never truly yours." Said Cinder as she kneels down and lifts Pyrrha's chin, staring into her eyes and smiling. "But take comfort in knowing that I will use it in ways you could never have imagined."

"Do you believe in destiny?" Asked Pyrrha as Cinder frowns, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes."

Cinder stands back up and forms an obsidian bow and arrow again. She pulls back the arrow, lowering the bow to aim at her weakened opponent. Nearby, Ruby finally reaches the top of the tower, landing in a kneeling position. She looks upon the scene, seeing Pyrrha sitting with her eyes closed, accepting the fate that awaits her.

Ed started to fight Evil Tim as best as he could with his Mighty Flipper against the dark lords scythe. But it didn't take long for the weakened Ed to be beaten down by the incredibly powerful Evil Tim. Evil Tim viciously smacked Ed around as he started to draw more blood from the lovable lump. But Ed caught one of the demon's punches and held it back. As he pulled back his own fist and managed to hit Evil Tim in the face three times, punches that were strong enough to draw several drops of glowing purple blood from the demon. But Evil Tim smacks away one of Ed's incoming punches, as he pulled back his scythe and swing it upwards at Ed's face... Ed stumbled back in an excruciating amount of pain...

Ed could now understand what else was wrong besides the pain... He couldn't see out of his left eye... All he could see was red and black as he collapsed to the ground from all the pain as the monster stood over Evil Tim and raised his scythe for the final killing blow, swinging it down.

Cinder looses the arrow, which plants itself directly in the center of Pyrrha's chest. Ruby watches in horror as Pyrrha gasps in pain, the wound in her chest emitting a red glow. Cinder approaches her fallen foe and places a hand on Pyrrha's head, using her Maiden powers to flash incinerate her.

Pyrrha instantly ceases all movement and sound, her body glowing orange and then scattering as embers. Her headdress remains in Cinder's hand, and the villain drops it on the floor. This scene is reflected in Ruby's silver eyes, which widen in despair and become filled with tears. Ruby clenches her fists, curls her arms to her body, and then suddenly flings her arms out to the sides, beginning to levitate slightly off the ground. Brilliant white light flows from her eyes as she screams out the name of her dear friend.

"PYRRHAAAAAA!" Yelled Ruby in pure fury as a white light envelopes her, spreading out to the Dragon and Cinder.

"WHAT?!" Yelled Cinder in complete shock.

Just as Evil Tim's blade swung and it was just inches away from beheading Ed, a very bright light that came from the top of the tower illuminated through the broken windows and broken walls. The blade stopped as Evil Tim looked at this light in amazement. It only lasted a few more seconds... Until the light finally died. Evil Tim could actually feel that white light, it felt like it was burning into him like silver or some sort of holy relic. This was already a problem, another power that is IN REMANT that can actually hurt him...

The dark lord looked back down at the unconscious Ed, he was bleeding out... He was going to die from his blood loss eventually. He can just simply return and finish the job. He looked back out the broken wall as he walked out of it, quickly dissolving onto a murder of crows as the horde made their way up the tower and up to the top of the tower. As the crows reassembled into the demon, he looked around. And to his amazement and shock, he saw that the giant Grimm Dragon... Was frozen on the side of the tower remaining unmoving, but whatever it is that the Grimm was frozen it, was NOT ice. It was an alien substance even for him. But as Evil Tim looked over to the rest of the tower, he noticed two girls that took his attention. That witch that attained the powers of the Fall Maiden Cinder who was lying on the floor severally injured with much of her hair over her face. And that little girl that was the leader of that one team that annoyed Evil Tim... He believed her name was Ruby Rose.

She remained totally uninjured as she lied there unconscious like the other female. Evil Tim still wondered what could've done something like this. He looked at the women then back at the frozen Dragon. As he tried his best to put the pieces of the puzzle together. He looked back over to the Dragon and looked at it, holding out his claw-like finger as he dragged it across the ice-like substance. When he was finished, he looked as the tiny bits of it on his finger as he took a closer look at the material, unlike anything he's even seen before. But as he started to used his more enhanced form of vision. He was able to track the energy signature back to it's original host... Ruby Rose... He could see that the massive blast of energy came from HER. The seemingly innocent and powerless little girl.

He turned back to the unconscious girl, as he started to walk towards her. He needed to get rid of this possible threat as soon as possible... Or better yet, capture her and see if they can somehow harvest this power from her. As he finally stood over her, he crouched down as he was reaching his clawed hand down to grab Ruby. But, just as he was several inches away, a black blur quickly flew in out of nowhere and snatched the girl up as the blur already snatched up Ruby. Evil Tim looked over only to see the blur was already too far away into the distance for him to catch. He looked back over at where he expected to see Cinder, only to see an empty space where several dead leaves danced at where the woman last was...

It was no matter for Evil Tim as this time anyway... He knows the two were still alive anyway, he will hunt them down and take their power later. Evil Tim walked over to the edge of the building as he stared down at all the destruction that was laid to waste upon Beacon. Grimm and his own forces were still attacking... He simply looked on as the monster finally spoke.

"I am finished here, I shall capture them on a later date... But for now, I am done..." Said Evil Tim as he looked over Beacon once more in ruins, before his body devolved into a murder of crows once more as the crows flew off into the night sky.

The black blur that caught the Red Reaper flew her to a building that was nearby, as the one that saved her genially placed her on the ground... As a very familiar voice spoke to the unconscious girl.

"It's alright. I got ya, kiddo. I got ya." Said the scraggly voice of her uncle. Even though Ruby was unconscious, she could still subconsciously hear voices and sounds that were going on around her. There was a pause. Radio static can be heard in the background.

"*Sigh* Nothing." Said the voice of her father.

"Just turn it off. Without the CCT, there's no point." Said her uncle

"Communication down across the entire Kingdom, no way to contact the outside world... and Ozpin's still missing." Said her father.

"Yeah."

"This is bad, Qrow."

"Yeah, this is bad."


Later: ...

Ruby as asleep in an unfamiliar bed, wearing gray pajamas. Birds are tweeting and sunlight is streaming onto the wall behind the bed's headboard. After a few seconds, she wakes up and looks over to see her father asleep in a chair. She sits up and sighs quietly, causing Taiyang to stir awake.

"Ruby!" Yelled Taiyang as he gets up and runs to kneel by her bed. "You're awake!"

"Ugh... what happened?" Asked Ruby.

"Your uncle Qrow found you, unconscious. He got you out of there, though, and brought you home safe." Answered Taiyang as he looks down in thought for a split second, then Ruby looks at Taiyang.

"Wait! Yang! Is she alright!?"

"Uh... She's uh... she's gonna be alright. I think she's just... I think it's just gonna take some time for her to get used to things. She's too strong to let this stop her." Said Ruby's father as he covers his eyes for a moment, sniffling, then looks up, smiling. "I'm just glad to have my girls back at home."

"What happened to the school?! And Vale?! Were they able to clear out the Grimm? And that Evil guy's forces?"

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

"And for the other monsters..." Said Taiyang as he rubbed the back of his head for a second. "They left... But they all returned back to that fortress in the middle of the Emerald forces... Vale and the rest of the Kingdoms are trying to think of a way to deal with it as we speak..."

"I did... what?" Asked Ruby confused as Taiyang responded with a "Hmm?"

"You said I did a number on it. What do you mean?" Asked Ruby making her question more clear.

"I... Look that's not important right now. We can talk about it later. Things are just... kind of a mess."

"It's always a mess." Said a scruff voice as Ruby and Taiyang look to see Qrow suddenly standing in the room, near the door. He finishes off the contents of his flask before continuing.

"Mind if we have a minute?" Asked Qrow.

"What, I can't stay here?!" Asked Taiyang angrily.

"Tai. Please." Said Qrow a little more calmly, as Taiyang stands up, sighs, and then leans in to kiss Ruby on the forehead.

"I'm glad you're alright." Said Taiyang as he starts walking away. "I'll go make us some tea."

Taiyang glares at Qrow on the way out, but the latter doesn't appear to care. As Qrow approaches Ruby's bed, he grabs the chair and drags it with him. He then spins it around to face the bed and sits in it with a significant slouch, crossing one leg over the other.

"So, how you feeling?" Asked Qrow.

"Um... I kind of hurt... all over." Responded Ruby as Qrow chuckles under his breath.

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

"You guys keep saying that! That I did something! What are you talking about?!" Asked Ruby upset and confused. Qrow uncrosses his arms and legs, leaning forward in the chair. "What's the last thing you remember?"

"I ran up the side of the tower, and when I got to the top, I...*Gasp!* Pyrrha! Is she...?" Asked Ruby as Qrow looks down and shakes his head.

"She's gone." Replied Qrow.

"I... " Ruby stuttered as tears fill her eyes. "I... I got to the top... And I saw Pyrrha... And Cinder..." Said Ruby angrily as she grips her blanket, tears falling onto it. "And then everything went white!"

"Anything else?"

"I remember..." Said Ruby wiping the tears from her eyes. "My head hurting."

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

"I... I don't know. I think it was something about..." Said Ruby.

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

"So?"

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

"Actually, right before I was going to save you... That demon Evil Tim stood on the tower after your little episode... It looked like he wanted something from you... I don't know why, but if he's anything as dark as the Grimm are, I'd say he saw you as a threat. Your silver eyes HURT him..." Said Qrow as he glanced down for a moment.

"But... I really doubt someone like that is concerned with you, for now... He's already dealing with some other stuff since he made his presence really known. Ya know, dealing with the Grimm and the Kingdom's militaries..."

"But... you think that I might be..." Asked Ruby as Qrow chuckles.

"Well, a giant monster is currently frozen on top of Beacon Tower. And you're here, safe in bed." Said Qrow as he gets to his feet and walks over to a window, leaning on the sill and staring outside.

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

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

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

"You really wanna help? Get some rest. You're in no condition to go anywhere right now." Said her uncle as he starts heading to the door. "Besides, our enemy's trail leads all the way to Haven. That'd be quite a trip for a pipsqueak like you." Said Qrow as he winks.

"Catch ya later, kiddo." Said Qrow as he finally leaves. Ruby sits alone for a while. She looks at the window that Qrow looked out of, then stares at herself in a mirror hanging on the wall across from her bed.

Minutes later...

Ruby slowly opens up her door as she slowly walks down the hallway to her sisters room. The wooden floor boards creek below her feet as she slowly walks. But as she finally made her way to her sisters room... She saw someone sitting outside it, he was a big guy who was sitting in a chair right besides the door. He was wearing a green jacket, he had red hair, and had a bandage over his shoulder, and his head... Covering his left eye. He was staring at the ground depressed. Ruby stared at him for another moment until, she finally recognized him as she said.

"Ed?..." The boy quickly looked up and started at Ruby with surprise.

"Ruby? Your awake!" Said Ed smiling as he stood back up and held out his arms. Ruby, with tears in her eyes, without even hesitating ran up to Ed and hugged him.

"Your okay!" Said Ruby as she was hugging her kind friend as they pulled away.

"But you look hurt and..." Ruby looked up to see the white bandage covering Ed's left eye. "What happened to your eye?" Asked Ruby as Ed solemnly placed his hand to the bandage. Ed remained silent a little longer as he said.

"It was..." Ed trailed off as he put his hand were his injured eye was on his face. "Just... I-I'm sorry, I just don't want to talk about it..." Said Ed as he trailed off once more. Not wanting to push him for any additional information that she might become even more upset about... She looked at Ed as she nodded her head sadly. But that was until she grew an expression of realization on her face as she turned back to him.

"Ed, what happened to your team? Double D and Eddy?" Asked Ruby as Ed continued to look down solemnly... Ed like Ruby remained silent a little longer until he finally spoke.

"Eddy... After the fall of Beacon... Weiss' dad came to take her away. Eddy was still healing up from all his injuries, but that didn't stop him as he tried everything he could to stop Weiss' dad from taking her back to Atlas... He forced his way out of the hospital bed and used a walker to fight his way out of the hospital. He managed to find Weiss and, started trying to talk her dad into staying. But when he said no and even started telling Eddy to leave... Eddy yelled at him and demanded that Weiss stay and even said how much he loved her... And never wanted to be away from her again... *Sigh*" Ed stopped and sighed as he placed his hand on his forehead.

"What!? Weiss left!?" Asked Ruby in shock.

"Weiss' dad for bayed Eddy from coming anywhere near Weiss again or Weiss' family, or he'll have Eddy thrown in jail... Eddy refused he said he'd take his chances, but Weiss calmed him down, convincing him to do as her dad says... She then left. There was footage of those Atlas robots attacking innocent people, everyone's afraid and don't know who to trust... I guess that's why Weiss' dad came for her... Since then, Eddy's been staying at Jaune's house with Nora and Ren for now... Along with Kevin, Jonny, and Rolf..." Said Ed as he finished and Weiss had a somber look on her face.

"... What about Double D?" Asked Ruby as Ed's face just turned more somber, he stood there in silence once again. As he finally spoke.

"Double D... He was still in a really big fight with Eddy and didn't want to talk to him... He left me and Eddy notes and told both of us he was leaving..." Ruby looked back up at Ed with a surprise and shock in her expression.

"What? That doesn't make sense! Why would he leave like th-"

"I DON'T KNOW!" Yelled Ed frightening Ruby a bit. But quickly calming down as he took a deep breath and repeated what he said.

"I don't know...All the note said is that he will come back for us when he tries his best to remake that machine..." Ruby stood there and stared at Ed for another moment looking at Ed, until the girl spoke and asked.

"Is... Is Yang in there?" Asked Ruby pointing to the room as Ed simply nodded his head. Yang in response was about to reach for the door handle, but her hand was halted by Ed when he quickly grabbed her wrist genially and stopped her.

"Just...*Sigh* Just be prepared..." Said Ed as Ruby in response asked.

"Why are you here?..."

"... I'm never going to leave her side again." Said Ed solemnly, as he let go of Ruby's wrist as she opened up the door and looked inside. Yang sits alone in a spare bedroom, staring out a window. Her remaining piece of Ember Celica rests on the nightstand next to the bed. Ruby stands in the doorway.

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

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

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

"But I'm not." Said Yang grimly as Ruby frowns and releases the hug.

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

"Yang, I already asked Ed about Eddy and Double D... He told me about what happened to Weiss... Where is Bl-" Ruby wasn't even able to finish her sentence as Yang interrupted her.

"Blake ran! Sun saw her go. After we got to the city, she just... ran!" Said Yang angrily.

"But... why!?" Asked Ruby.

"I don't know... and I don't care."

"There has to be a reason she-" Ruby was interrupted once more.

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

"So, what do we do now?" Asked Ruby.

"You can do whatever you want. I'm gonna lie here." Said Yang sadly.

"Yang..." Ruby reached out.

"Just leave me alone." Said Yang as Ruby then slowly leaves the room, but she pauses in the doorway, looking over her shoulder to say one last thing.

"I love you." Yang doesn't even respond as she leaves, Ruby leaves the door open as she walked away with Ed still standing there in the door frame with his arms crossed and a somber look on his face. No more the goofy untarnished dunderhead everyone knew and loved, now nothing more then a depressed individual with a black cloud hanging over his head... Like his girlfriend. Ed stands in the doorway a little while longer looking at Yang sitting in her bed and facing her head away.

Ed quietly grabs the doorknob as he slowly starts to close the door, but before he closes it he left it open a crack to look at Yang once more.

"I love you too, Yang... And I'm not leaving you..." Yang stayed silent as Ed looked on in sadness... As he finally shut the door. A leaf falls from the tree outside Yang's window and slowly drifts to the ground. Over time, the ground becomes covered in snow.


Patch, Later:

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

"Hey." Said Jaune as Ruby looked over to see Eddy and Jaune standing there.

"Are... You all packed up?" Asked Eddy.

"Hey, guys. Yeah, I thinks I'm packed with everything I need. Haven's a long way to go." Responded Ruby.

"Pff... Long road trips, I'm pretty sure we can handle it." Said Eddy.

"I know. It's the only way we have." Said Jaune.

"Are you sure you guys want to come along?" Asked Ruby.

"The journey will be perilous, and whether we'll find answers at the end is entirely uncertain." Said Ren as Ruby looked over to see Ren, Nora, Rolf, Kevin, and Jonny standing there.

"But we wouldn't be here if we weren't up for it." Said Nora as Ruby scanned all the aliens of Earth... As she asked.

"All you guys are aliens, this doesn't have to be your problem you know... You can leave if you want to." Said Ruby.

"No, I don't think so. Even though this isn't our world... That doesn't mean we aren't going to help you." Said Eddy.

"Three haired Ed-Boy is right! We must stop this plight as it's SOURCE! And Rolf is insistent about tagging along." Said Rolf.

"We aren't leavin'... We're gonna stick with you until we finish this thing." Said Kevin.

"Not to mention get some answers, right buddy?" Said Jonny as he spoke to his friend Plank. Ruby smiled as all of them as she said.

"Thanks, guys..."

"Then let's get started." Said Jaune as the four begin their long trek, down the road leading away from Taiyang's home.

"A smaller, more honest soul... It's true that a simple spark can ignite hope, breathe fire into the hearts of the weary. The ability to derive strength from hope is undoubtedly mankind's greatest attribute. Which is why I will focus all of my power... to snuff it out. How does it feel, knowing that all of your time and effort has been for nothing? That your guardians have failed you? That everything you've built will be torn down before your very eyes? Your faith in mankind was not misplaced. When banded together, unified by a common enemy, they are a noticeable threat. But divide them, place doubt into their minds, and any semblance of power they once had will wash away. Of course, they won't realize it at first. Like you, they'll cling to their fleeting hope, their aspirations. But this is merely the first move. So you send your guardians, your Huntsmen and Huntresses, and when they fail and you turn to your smaller soul, know that you send her to the same pitiful demise."

An ominous-looking stone stairway lined with dark, purple crystals. The camera pans up revealing a figure in black overlooking a barren wasteland.

"This is the beginning of the end, Ozpin... And I can't wait to watch you burn." Said the Grimm woman as she turned her head as her eyes glow ominously as she makes an evil grin.


"I was once a gladiator... A gladiator of not only another planet, but another plain of existence entirely... In the burning wasteland of a demention called the Neatherrealm, I was one of the lower casts of demons... Like any other sentient race of creatures, or humans in general... There was a cast system. Those at the very bottom were the lowest cast of demons who were enslaved by higher cast demons to do dangerous and arduous tasks. They cannot die, but they live in agony, fighting for the amusement of the upper casts just to get respect and attention. Many of them don't even recieve. I was one of those demons... I fought in the gladiatorial pits and would be a champion. Soon, I would gain enough respect and glory from the spectators, that I was set free. But I still wished for my brothers and sisters to be relieved of their suffering... I soon started to give out speeches and started rallies, preaching what I believed, that all creatures of whatever race or origin, should be treated as equal. O'BeefDip chief among them. I soon made my way to the rulers of Hell. And started to plead my case to them..."

"I soon told them of my plans to negotiate with the lush and lively world known as Earth... The Earth Realm. They refused, said that it was not worth the trouble. But as I assembled my followers, someone on Earth coincidentally casted an summoning spell. A portal, that would be the responsibility of three of my greatest enemies... I and my followers soon made our way to the Earth realm. As we approached the humans, we came in peace. I tried to explain that all we wanted was to form an alliance and share the glory of the planet Earth together... What a naïve fool I once was... Because of solely off of our appearance alone, they attacked us. I watched in horror as they started to viciously slaughter my peaceful followers and tried to murder me in the process..."

"That's when I figured out that peace is completely ineffectual and for weak fools... I have tried to follow peace my whole life after the gladiatorial arena, it has led to nothing but more pain and suffering. I now know that none can truly be trusted unless they follow their one true lord and master... Me, never the less I returned to Earth with an army of demons. We swarmed the planet and have fought for several years, turning the once lush planet my people followed me and died for, turned into a dead planet. The humans no doubt fought back... So I set in motion the events that would lead to their extinction... Drought. Famine. Disease. And my own wrath... This would wipe out all the humans, but would turn Earth into a horrible wasteland, not unlike that of Hell. I soon defeated my three enemies, but now, that world was dead, and so were many of my forces..."

"I was lost, and did not know what to do next... Yet."

A dark man was standing over the railing of a black building as grey clouds were in the sky and heavy rain was drizzling all over the man as a blast of lightning struck.

(KAZAP!)

"I came to this new world, a world much different from the last one... But still, being a new world I can conquer with an Iron Fist... And make sure all the blood my people spilt in the past because of my regime... Won't be in vain... And for my enemies out there..."

(CRACK! BOOM!)

Evil Tim stared off into the distance, on a chapel at the top of his huge fortress with his glowing purple eye glowing and the heavy rainfall still drizzling over his body.

"I will make sure, if they or any other fool decides to get in my way..."

(KAZAP!)

"Expect to be eradicated, and as for my three mortal enemies. Even if they are not the same ones who tormented me, I will make sure each one of them, dies." Said Evil Tim looking out as his eye continues to glow with purple steam rising from it.


Patch:

Qrow is watching Ruby, Eddy, and their friends continuing on their journey. He then holds up Ozpin's cane, before jumping from the cliff. A crow takes his place and flies towards Ruby's group. Meanwhile, watching Qrow and the group from a distance, was Baron Samedi and Tiburon Akheilos. Baron looked on with his binoculars as Tiburon stood there with his arms crossed.

A/N: Well, here it is, Chapter 45... I gotta tell you, this may have been the hardest chapter I made, or maybe I was just very busy at the time making it seem for me like it was a hard chapter to write. Anyway, I know some of you won't be happy with some of the decision's I've made. Mainly killing off Pyrrha, there are several reasons why I killed off Pyrrha like in RWBY. I'm still trying to stick close to the RWBY story line and not stray away from it too much... So just in case something like this has a drastic effect that can appear later on, I won't be straying in a completely different direction from the story. I know it's still a FanFiction and I can still keep Pyrrha alive if I wanted to, but I decide not to. Besides I see it as a huge lesson and milestone for Jaune to overcome to improve as a character and evolve from this tragedy, sure it's sad. But not everyone get's a happy ending. I was also juggling around the idea of Ed being severally injured by Evil Tim and everyone thinking that Ed is dead, but I decided not to do that. Oh, and if your wondering what Cartoon Network show "WaterHazard" came from, he's just one of Ben 10's aliens. 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.
