The outside of Beacon was a war zone.
"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora sang menacingly from her palace of ice. She quickly ducked avoid a barrage of snowballs.
"You'll never win, Queen Nora! You're reign of terror will soon be at an end!" Donald screamed from his ice fortress, using an icicle as a sword.
Hiding in a nearby snowbank were the teams of RWBY, JPR, and GHL. "Huh, who knew Donald would be so skilled at snow warfare," Ruby said as a loud sound, not unlike a explosion, echoed outside.
"Donald used to have snowball fights with his nephews," Goofy explained. Another snow explosion rang outside. "They got intense."
More explosions sounded off as the groups makeshift shelter shook from the impact. "We're going to die," Weiss said, bluntly. "We're going to be buried under ten tons of snow and die of hypothermia."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Sora said as he proudly stood up.
A few seconds of silence passed before Weiss asked "Well, do you you have anything to say?"
"Nothing comes to mind..." Sora admitted.
"Wait..." Ren stood up. "The explosions stopped..."
Cautiously, one by one, they crept out of the shelter. Beacon had been absolutely wrecked, pillars were shattered, craters covered the courtyard, and in he center of it all Donald and Nora were holding on to each other, both uncontrollably sobbing.
"What... happened?" asked a flabbergasted Yang.
"I think it's best we just don't question it," Axel said, wisely.
They all silently nodded in agreement.
