I felt it.

The spark of aura.

"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee." I felt the pull on my aura grow in strength as Corinthia started to breath.

A soul for a soul... That is the price. The Brother of darkness' voice reverberated through the dome, and shook me to my core.

I'm sorry. And Pyrrha was gone, for good this time.

Chapter 63: Corinthia, The Warrior.

I floated in the empty void, how long had it been? A moment? A eternity? It mattered not for I had lost everything. I couldn't breath, yet I didn't need to.

Then I felt something, a shock ran through my body. And air filled my lungs. "Corinthia?" I slowly turned to see a woman of 17... 18 winters, her body clad in gold and crimson armor, her hair a flaming red.

"Yes?" I asked her.

"I am Pyrrha Nikos, I gave up my soul to save you." She said. "And to keep my friend alive. The world has changed in the years you were gone. Please..." She was cut off as I awoke. My eyes snapped open as I drew in the dusty air. My heart pounded in my chest like a mighty blacksmiths hammer.

Where was Menzro?

Where is my Guardian?

My friend?

My head snapped around, and my eyes fell on two women, barely a winter older then me, armed with a sword and crossbows. My instincts took over as I washed them with blue flames. "Menzro!" I yelled as I got to my feet. "Where are you!?"

The two of the barely dodged, now that I finally got a better look at them I was horrified. In a torn red cape was a human grimm, her horns curling back pushing black hair out of the way. Silver and black eyes stared back at me. "Wait, we don't want to hurt you!" She called out, her accent unrecognizable to me. The other girl said something, in a tongue unknown to me, her purple hair was filled with webs, and her... ears had long thin... I don't know what it was. Flesh twine is the best way to describe it.

"Princess, I'm Ruby Rose, If you could calm down we can..." I said.

"Silence grimm, I will not allow you to capture me." Blue lightning danced from my hand and crashed into the demon's chest. She was thrown back into a brazier of blue flames. I turned to the other girl, She screamed for her friend. And tried to run to her aid. I blasted her back with a gust if wind. She crashed into the wall with a sickening crack, blood dripped from her hair as she struggled to get to her feet.

I was tackled from behind, the grimm had recovered faster then I thought it would. She pinned me to the ground, purple flames burned from her now violet eyes. "WE BROUGHT YOU BACK!" She yelled as she held me down, "CALM DOWN SO WE CAN BRING YOU TO MENZRO!"

I felt it, Corinthia was back, her power filled the caverns like the sun filled the great desert with a unbearable. I had to get to her. But these warriors kept coming, the boy of stone, Kirishima, laid on his side, a cut from shoulder to him bleed out, he was being attended to by a green haired man. But the three who fought me now prevented me from leaving. The ground was turned to dust by the blonde wild child. A knight of speed cut off any attempts at escape.

But the giant of a man, he stood in my way, his blows mightier then a Wyvern claws. My armor was destroyed. But I refused to give up. Corinthia needed me.

I needed her.

I pinned the girl down, my body stronger from the Maidens power. Her power was... incredible, "We don't want to hurt you." I said in Ancient Valerian.

"You demon, get off of me!" She unleashed a blast of wind, trying to dislodge me. But I kept my grip and slowly pulled her to her feet.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that." I growled, the Princess' anger rolled off of her like an avalanche. "Corinthia, you've been dead for forty thousand years." I explained to her.

"Impossible!" She twisted free, holding her wrist where I had grabbed it. She looked around, as if looking for something. "Where is the body of the woman who gave her soul to save me?"

"Pyrrha's soul was trapped inside my body when I inherited her maiden powers." I said as I lowered my hands and stood to my full height.

"Maiden?" She asked, I could feel her anger fading as she fully calmed down.

"I'll explain once we bring you to Menzro, I rather that my allies stay alive." I promised.

As Oobleck applied bandages to my chest the others were fighting a losing battle with Menzro, he was just too strong. Thousands of years of training allowed him to hold his own, even with All Might. "Ruby, hurry up." I sat up with the Doctors help.

"A Grimm capable of speech, simply amazing." He said as he took a sip from his thermos.

"He's more then just a grimm." I said as I stood up with a grunt.

"Indeed, but Arachne are among the smartest of the Grimm. I would be even more surprised if it wasn't a Arachne." He said as his Thermos expanded into a...

"Of course it's a weapon." I rolled my eyes at the bat. Just as the Huntsman was going to join the fight, footsteps filled the air, Ruby, and a girl I haven't seen before carried Kyoka between them, her arms over their shoulders. Blood covered the sound heroes face, but she was breathing.

She smiled at the grimm and said something in ancient Valerian. The Grimm lowered his spikes and smiled, tears in his four eyes. "Corinthia."

The others stepped back from the grimm as he walked over to the three girls. Corinthia let go of Kyoka as she hugged him.

"Let's get out of this hole." Ruby said as she carried Kyoka.

We sat in a circle around a fire. I had proper bandages wrapped around my chest now. Aizawa, Monoma, Port and Hatsume had been filled in on the events. "So then she threw Kyoka into a wall." Ruby said as she described what had happened in the chamber they had found the Princess in. And Corinthia hadn't taken her eyes off of Bakugo since she sat down.

"What are you looking at?" He demanded, being annoyed by her attention.

She turned to Ruby and asked something. "What's the explosion warrior's problem?" She giggled.

"Well at least she knows a fighter when she sees one, and man if you two couldn't handle her, your weaker then I thought." He laughed. "Tell her I just don't like people staring at me." Bakugo said.

Ruby relayed the information. Corinthia just shrugged and went back to her food. For someone back from the dead, she seemed quite... alive. As she swallowed another bite of fire roasted chicken she turned to her grimm Guardian, who had changed out of the ruined armor and into a red suit vest and black dress shirt, and said something.

Ruby and Menzro looked surprised. "What is it?" Aizawa asked.

"She wants to come with us. Remnant won't tolerate Menzro, so she wants to leave for earth." Ruby relayed. Corinthia said something else, "And to come to UA. If it truly is the best school in the world, no better place then there." We looked at Aizawa and All Might.

"We'll talk with Nezu." All Might said.

We ate in silence as the sky darkened. "Doctor Oobleck, do take care of my works." Menzro said. "I put a great many hours into them."

And this chapter is done. We're now one step closer to The Battle of Haven.
