Volume 4 Issue 3: Of Runaways and Stowaways
The Ship on a destination towards Menagerie
The scene starts with a Seagulls call as a ship moves over peaceful blue waters. A pan of the boat from bow to stern reveals... Passengers strolling across both the upper and mid decks including one Blake Belladonna wearing her new outfit.
Her new outfit features a long white tailcoat with dark gray lining and a sleeveless black crop top. The crop top has rectangular and diamond-shaped cutouts around the neckline, which have purple outlines. Additionally, she wears a white belt over black fitted pants. After the confrontation with Adam in Beacon, Blake now has been left with an X-shaped scar on the bottom left section of her abdomen, which would be later on healed when she reunites with the others at Haven.
Across her torso is a diagonal strap that contains a smaller magnetic clip used to sheathe Gambol Shroud. She wears thigh-high black heeled boots with gold-colored edging around the top. The left boot has a belt wrapped twice around the thigh. Each boot bears her belladonna emblem in white on the outer side of the thigh, and a white pouch is attached to the back of her belt.
Blake rests her hands on the rail and stares out at the ocean. She blinks and looks over her right shoulder, somewhat startled. Two kids laugh over a joke. Blake almost smiles and turns to look back at the ocean before footsteps approach her.
"Traveling alone?" The Captain asked.
Blake jumps and grips the hilt of Gambol Shroud. She halts her action when she sees the captain of the boat.
"Now, now, no threat here. Just here to chat." The Captain assured, raising his hands to defuse the situation.
Blake hesitates before relaxing her posture with a roll of her eyes.
"And why is that?" Blake asked, allowing The Captain to lower his arms and then twists to lean idly onto the rail.
"Well, not many people travel by boat on their own. It can be quite a lonely voyage. But I found those that do tend to have the more... interesting stories." The Captain explained as Blake turns away from the Captain.
"Maybe it's just... better for some people to be alone." Blake replied sadly as she thought of her team and the kids.
The two kids run behind Blake laughing and she gasps again, not expecting the noise behind her. She turns and blinks at them trying to reset her calm.
"Hahahaha. Maybe, but with your paranoia, I think a few friendly faces wouldn't hurt." The Captain said.
"Who says I'm paranoid?!" Blake demanded.
"Hahahaha. No one, dear, no one. I'll leave you be." The Captain replied before he turns and walks away before he then stops to look at her.
"But uh, fair warning: these trips can be awfully boring." The Captain added.
The Captain continues on his way and Blake stares after him. Once he's gone, she turns and looks at the ground for a few seconds before reaching up and undoing her bow.
"Mmm." Blake mumbled before deciding as she holds her ribbon out over the railing.
"Won't be needing this." Blake said, letting go and watching the ribbon swirl in the air once before landing on the water as she turns and walks away.
As she passes inside, a hooded figure is shown to be watching her from a distance.
Beside the ribbon on the ocean, the large scales of a sea creature are seen moving just above the surface. After they pass, the ribbon is gone.
Island of Patch
Xiao Long-Rose-Branwen Family Home
With Yang.
The scene changes to Yang sitting on a green couch in her home on Patch bored out of her mind while Kirby was taking his nap and the twins was at the store with Tai and Summer wearing her new outfit while she's at home.
Her new outfit consist of a gray jacket over an orange tank top that bares her hips. The jacket is tied at the right sleeve, indicating her missing arm. The jacket's left sleeve bears her father's emblem. Completing her attire are gray-brown cargo pants, which show the rim of her dark undergarments and ribbed knee paneling. High on the left leg of her pants is a red shield-shaped patch with imagery of three Ursa masks, and her emblem is stitched on her right thigh.
The stump of her right arm is covered by a circular, metallic plate. She wears white sneakers with blue laces, and her hair is pulled back into a messy ponytail with a purple hair tie.
She looks at the stack of three books on her right and instead picks up the remote control to her left. With a click, the projected scene comes on, revealing a news segment from the VBC channel.
Glynda is shown unsuccessfully piecing together a building. Across the bottom of the screen, it reads: BEACON INACCESSIBLE.
"...with no end in sight. Try as they might, the local Huntsmen and Huntresses can't seem to get a hold of the situation at Beacon Academy." Reporter 01 stated on VBC News.
Yang clicks the remote. As the next reporter speaks, the large lettering across the screen are slowly revealed backward, from the perspective of someone facing Yang. It reads: CCT Repairs "Underway". The subheading reads: Atlas officials working on solution, but not optimistic.
"...though the fail-safes have supported wireless communication within the kingdom, the loss of the CCT Tower continues to prevent contact with the outside world. Talks with Atlas officials regarding repairs have so far—" Reporter 02 explained.
Yang clicks again, cutting off the reporter and bringing up yet another news segment. A horned anchorman speaks above the caption: Sending Citizens Home. The corner caption has the logo for VOX News.
"...Vale council voted this week to continue to ban any air traffic that does not have a direct correlation with evacuation. The council has made it clear that they feel—" Reporter 03 explained on VOX News.
Yang click the remote again taking it to RTN showing a Picture of Ben with the caption: Still Missing Hero. Across his picture.
"Today marks the eighth month disappearance of Ben Tennyson. People around the world continue to pray for his return ever since he saved this planet from those aliens along with his partner Koan Seinaruyami-"
Yang clicks again. Her eyes widen and she sits up.
"Multiple rumors continue to circulate as to who was behind the attacks at the Vytal Festival Tournament." Lisa Lavender said on VNN News.
The screen shows anchor Lisa Lavender and the VNN logo. The caption below her reads: WHITE FANG MEMBER, ADAM TAURUS, PRESENT DURING BEACON GRIMM ATTACK.
"While no one knows for sure, officials have confirmed that high-ranking White Fang member, Adam Taurus..." Lisa Lavender explained.
Adam's image appears on the screen at his name being spoken.
"...was present for the attack. Any and all attempts to bring him into custody have been met with brutal force—" Lisa Lavender added.
Yang turns the news off. She sits there holding the remote, and a door clicks open.
"WE'RE HOME!" Kitty cried.
Yang sets the remote down and leans her head backward on the couch, looking up at the newcomer that way.
"Hey, everyone." Yang replied, looking at everyone upside down.
The camera soon repositions itself to show Summer carrying in groceries, Kitty holding a box with the Atlas symbol and her dad holding two other boxes and bags in his hands.
However, Yang smiled at her Dad specifically as he had a brand new look due to Kirby using his Magic and the request of Raven and Summer.
His Hair was now a bright shade of Gold and no longer grayed, he no longer possessed his facial hair both stubble and soul patch, but he still retains his muscular build and tattoo.
Taiyang here is officially young again in his mid 30s because well... he can't say no to his two wives who are young again in their mid 30s and obvious reasons and Kirby made him young again with Magic. Leaving Qrow to be the only member of Team STRQ in his 40s.
"Guess what came in today!" Kitty cried excitedly as her tail wagged back-and-forth, showing her excitement.
"Quiet down, Kitty. Kirby's sleeping." Summer said.
"But it's so cool! I can't wait for her to try it!" Kitty whined.
"Yeah! It's going to be awesome!" Rouge added.
Tai chuckles at their antics as he walks into another room to unload, while on the couch Yang looks somewhat interested. Taiyang returns, allowing the twins to place the box on the coffee table in front of Yang, revealing the Kingdom of Atlas symbol on it. She looks at it and doesn't move.
"Well, open it!" Rouge cried.
"It's... for me?" Yang asked.
"For you and you only." Summer promised.
Yang lifts the lid off the box to reveal a robotic right arm. Yang looks it over, somewhat wide-eyed while her father gushes. She blinks and her eyes droop a bit, revealing she's more distressed than pleased.
"Brand new, state of the art Atlas tech. And, with the Materials from Ganon's Monsters, it can even withstand Angel Trigger, in theory anyway. You know, I thought I was gonna have to pull some strings, call in a few favors, but you earned this one all on your own, kiddo." Taiyang explained.
"Huh?" Yang asked, confused and surprised.
"Before I could even talk to him, General Ironwood already had one of his top scientists working on this, for you. He wanted me to tell you that you fought admirably. You should be proud of yourself." Tai explained.
"Put it on, Mommy! You be so cool!" Kitty cried.
"Yeah! You'll be like a Cyborg!" Rouge added as Kara and Kirby came down.
"Mommy has a new arm?" Kirby asked excitedly, thinking she will be back to normal now.
"Maybe now she'll stop being so mopey." Kara added.
"I uh... I'm not feeling too great right now. Maybe later, kids?" Yang replied, disappointing the kids a bit as well as her dad and summer.
"Well, alright." Tai said, deflating a bit as Yang gets up and walks up the stairs, Taiyang giving her an encouraging smile as she passes in front of him. She pauses partway up the steps, turning in his direction.
"Thanks, everyone." Yang replied.
Yang continues upstairs as a visibly disheartened Taiyang bows his head.
Later, Yang sweeps the porch, adept at it with one arm. She pauses to wipe her brow and sigh. The next scene shows her getting mail out of the mailbox at the end of their driveway. Lastly, she's in the kitchen, rinsing a glass. As she lifts it out of the sink, it slips out of her fingers and she gasps.
When it hits the floor and breaks, it triggers a flashback. Against the blackness there's a gray slash moving from upper left to bottom right and the red markings from Adam's mask glow while the sound of a sword loudly resonates. In the kitchen, Yang rears back with a cry.
She clings to the countertop and pants, out of breath due to fright bringing Her fist comes down against the countertop, and Yang gets herself under control.
From the doorway, Taiyang watches with concern before turning away without saying a word as Kirby runs down to comfort her from her PTSD.
The Ship
With Blake.
It is dusk In the next scene, and the boat continues its journey on the smooth water. There is still peaceful bird cry, and Blake is once again on the middle deck looking out at the ocean. A Faunus couple walk behind her and she watches them, slightly less twitchy than before.
It's when she's about to leave that she senses she is being watched by someone on the upper deck. It's the hooded figure, and she immediately takes out Gambol Shroud.
"Who's there?!" Blake demanded.
The hooded figure turns and runs for it, blonde hair somewhat visible beneath the hood. Blake stares up at the deck, no longer watching the ocean. She does not notice the dorsal fins of a giant sea creature momentarily surface. However, she feels the boat rocking on the wake it created and lets out a grunt as she tries to keep her balance.
The creature's long-necked shadow looms over Blake as she turns around to face the water. Its shadow also falls on a member of the crew on duty in the crow's nest, who is looking up at it in horror.
"RED ALERT!" the lookout screamed or Crew Member 01.
The alert immediately sounds. Two red lights next to a speaker pulse with the sound. The Captain and his First Mate come running out and look at the water from the upper deck, just above Blake. The Captain murmurs as the shadow falls over him.
"By the gods…" The Captain whispered.
"The long-necked creature is revealed to be a large Sea Feilong. It has a pattern of glowing red lines along the scales of its neck, and its eyes glow yellow. The Grimm swings its head back and forth, roaring and spreading its short forearms outward.
"All hands to battle stations!" The Captain ordered, turning around to his First Mate.
The First Mate has brown skin, light brown eyes and short, chocolate brown hair parted on the left. The ship uniform consists of three-quarter length blue sailor pants with gold buttons at the pockets, a blue and white striped T-shirt, orange neck scarf, brown knee-high boots and brown gloves. In addition to the uniform, the first mate also wears gold stud earrings.
"Sir, we've never fought a Grimm this big!" The First Mate explained.
"We've never seen something this big! But we'll give 'er a fight nonetheless!" The Captain replied, turning around.
The scene changes to Blake springs into action, running off the boat and into the air. She creates one of her clones to give her added upward momentum, flinging Gambol Shroud forward in its kusarigama form. Attached to the ribbon on her wrist, it embeds itself into the Grimm's neck.
Blake swings above the Grimm and shoots it in the back of its neck. It roars. Blake lands on the crow's nest while the Captain steers from the bridge.
He keeps the ship stabilized in the Grimm's wake and steps outside to get another look at it. Blake still shoots it while it arcs back into the water. The side of the ship opens up and the cannons come out.
Blake continues her assault on the sea creature, once again swinging and shooting. The ship's cannons fire but are mostly ineffective. Blake falls back onto the ship's deck, lands on her back, bounces, and quickly gets herself back onto her feet. She discovers that her left shoulder is hurt when she moves to stand.
"Hold steady men, it's not done with us yet! GET THE HEAVY CANNON LOADED!" The Captain ordered, prompting the nervous First Mate to become serious and excited.
The largest cannon on the ship rises up through a trapdoor on the deck, extends itself, and aims at the Grimm. The Grimm's dorsal fin splits apart and extra bone unfolds, revealing two wings. The Sea Feilong lets out a roar as it flies, its beating wings sending a gush of air at the ship. Blake cries out as she hangs on with her hurt left arm.
"Heavy cannon, OPEN FIRE!" The Captain ordered.
The heavy cannon shoots, but the Grimm easily evades it. It opens its mouth and an electric ball forms.
Blake readies to launch herself at it, but the hooded figure lands on her head and uses her as a launch pad.
"Hey!" Blake cried.
The figure grunts and the cloak falls back, revealing Sun Wukong. Midair, he activates his energy clones with his Semblance.
"Sun?!" Blake cried in shock.
Sun and his clones land on the Grimm's head. The two clones pull on the topmost tendrils of the head while Sun grabs its upper lip.
"Not today, pal!" Sun cried when the Sea Feilong releases its electric blast, it goes harmlessly into the air, rather than at the ship.
"What are you doing?!" Cried Blake.
From atop the enraged Grimm's snout, Sun answers her while holding onto the two tendrils his now-disappeared clones had grabbed.
"Oh, uh, you know, just... hanging out!" Sun cried as The Sea Feilong Grimm manages to get a small electrical charge around Sun and he lets go, shouting as he falls.
"Whoa-oa!" Sun cried.
Blake gasps and immediately springs into action again. She jumps onto and off the railing, using Gambol Shroud's kusarigama form on the crow's nest to swing herself around and catch Sun midair. They land on nearby rocks, with her holding him bridal style.
"My Hero!" Sun said, putting his hand on his heart, earning a intense glare.
"You're not supposed to be here!" Blake shouted, a little upset that she didn't notice sooner.
"Yeah!? Well, it looks like you can use all the help you can get!" Sun cried, making a good point.
"Ugh." Blake groaned, dropping him onto the ground.
"Just shut up and fight!" Blake finished as she runs toward the ship in the water, where the Grimm is firing electric blasts at it. Sun is on the ground, striking a pose on his side with his hand propping up his head.
"Yes, ma'am!" Sun replied.
On the ship, the Captain is steering while two of his crew are looking at displays.
"Starboard defenses are down, sir!" The First Mate explained.
"We still got to have a Canon?" The Captain asked.
"Aye, but it's moving too fast! We can't land a hit!" Crew Member 02 explained.
"Argh. How about the engines?" The Captain asked.
"Fully functional, Captain! The First Mate answered.
"Well alright, then!" The Captain replied.
On the deck, Blake is preparing to counter a hit from the Grimm's electric blast, but Sun jumps in between with a laugh of triumph. He uses Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang to deflect it and lands on the heavy cannon, resting his staff on his shoulder with a crooked grin.
"Huntsmen!" The Captain cried, getting Sun and Blake to turn towards the man who has come out onto the upper deck calling them.
"If you can clip its wings and draw it out towards the bow, we could take it!" The Captain explained.
Blake turns away from the Captain to look up at Sun who shrugs.
"I mean, you're the one with the swords." Sun pointed out.
"Ugh." Blake groaned.
Sun spins his weapon back into a holstered position and runs toward the Grimm.
"It's now or never!" Sun cried.
Sun activates three clones and jumps into the air. The first clone springs Blake upward to the second clone, which does the same. The third clone swings her up. Sun waits, laughing and opening up his arms, but then loses his smile in confusion.
"Huh?" Sun asked.
Blake, instead of heading toward him, directs herself above him and lands on his shoulders. They sink a few feet while he grunts and Blake leaps upward off of him. High above the Sea Feilong, she begins her descent, avoiding the electric blasts it shoots at her. She runs down its right wing, slicing through the thin membrane.
Sun smirks as he waits for her on the rock she's readying to land on and catches her. The impact causes the rock surface to crack around them while he's left holding her bridal style. Blake smiles at him until he speaks.
"This is the part where you say it." Sun said, grinning.
"Ugh." Blake groaned.
The Grimm moves around them, causing the precarious rocky area to collapse. Blake is on the move again, leaving Sun behind.
"Okay, maybe later!" Sun cried.
Sun jumps off the collapsing rock. The Sea Feilong flies after them, knocking rocks down as he goes. The Captain watches from the bridge through a spyglass before throwing a handle and increasing the boat's speed. It sails beside the destructive Grimm, keeping apace.
Sun continues to hop around, avoiding the Grimm's attacks until one more move puts him directly in front of its open mouth. Blake swings in on her ribbon and gets him out of reach. The Grimm prepares a blast to get them both in one shot when it is impaled by the bowsprit of the boat.
"FIRE!" The Captain cried.
But before the heavy cannon could even make an attempt to fire, something cut it off by what appears to be a meteorite cutting its head off, stopping the First Mate from pulling the trigger.
Not knowing what to do The Captain, the First Mate and Crew Members all cheer anyway, thanking the brilliant stroke of luck as the cheer is upheld by the passengers on the ship who also join in with applause. On their rock, Sun celebrates while Blake smiles and lowers her head in relief before heading over to see exactly what that was.
Following Blake, Sun was about to explain why he was following her when to their surprise they saw a familiar star-shaped spaceship along with a black puffball getting out of the ship.
"ANOTHER PUFFBALL?!" Sun cried.
Hearing the monkey talk, the black Nintendon jumped towards him, pulling out a Black Chain Scythe that gave off a dark aura, managing to cut Sun's Shirt, turning it to complete ash.
Realizing the danger that weapon possessed, the two jumped back as Blake pulled out a translator watch she always carries around in case Kirby ever broke his watch, so she could talk.
"We aren't your enemies! There's no need to fight!" Blake cried.
"Poyo, Poyo! Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo." (Stupid, Human! It's not like you can understand me anyway.) the Black Puffball replied.
"But I can't understand you! I even met four other Nintendons! Does the name Daphne, Barbara, Kara and Clark ring a bell?" Blake asked, stopping the puffball at the mention of the last one.
"Poyo, Poyo, Clark? Poyo, Poyo, Poyo? Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo!" (You know Clark? Where is he? Take me to him now or I shall kill you and find him myself!) The Black Nintendon demanded.
"We call him Kirby and that's going to be a bit difficult. He's halfway around the planet with his mom." Blake explained, earning a Scythe Head that nearly cut off her head if she was a second too slow.
"Martha, Poyo, Poyo. Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo." (Martha is dead. I shall not have you insult her memory by insisting he has moved on and replaced her.)" The Nintendon replied.
"Um, Blake? You wouldn't happen to have anymore of those translators would you because he seems awfully mad." Sun asked, reaching for his staff just in case as Blake was still holding the Translator Watch in her hands as she turned it on and wore it, so she can understand Mordred.
"I'll take you to Kirby after I'm completely sure my parents are safe. Is that a fair deal?" Blake asked, ignoring her friend.
"Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo. Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo Poyo." (I'll give you one month to make good on your deal. If not, I shall kill you as I promised.) The puffball replied.
"Fine. Now, what's your name?" Blake asked.
"Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Mordred. Poyo, Poyo, Lancelot. Poyo, Poyo, Poyo Poyo. Clark Poyo." (My Name Is Mordred. Son of Lancelot, Heir to the assassins guild. Clark's Godbrother.) Mordred explained, surprising Blake.
In the next scene it is nighttime on the middle deck of the ship as they once again to sail towards menagerie after loading Mordred's ship into the lower cargo bay, Blake is at the railing again with Mordred next to her, only this time facing sideways.
"Seriously, it was no big deal!" Sun cried to a pair of passengers.
"Just enjoy the rest of your trip and everything will be cool! We got this!" Sun added.
The two Faunus, a male with horns and a female with rabbit ears who we saw earlier, wave goodbye and turn away. Sun struts over to Blake taking extra care not to upset the puffball who he learned can turn anything into dust just by touching it through his Power of Decay and can easily channel it through his Chain Scythe, Death's Grasp, A sentient weapon just like the others.
And of course, Blake attached the Translator Watch on Mordred's Stubby Left Arm, so she and Sun can now understand him.
"You'd think they'd never seen a fight before." Sun said.
"Then they deserved to die for being weak. Rule 31: Only the Strong shall survive." Mordred added, who was promptly ignored by Blake.
"What are you doing here, Sun?" Blake asked.
"Diggin' the new outfit, by the way!" Sun replied, pointing towards her ears.
"Never did like the bow." Sun added.
"Sun!" Blake cried, slapping the hand away.
"Geez!" Sun replied.
"Have you been following me?!" Blake demanded.
"I saw you run off. The night Beacon Tower fell. Once we landed in Vale, you made sure everyone was okay. And then you just took off, without saying anything." Sun explained.
"You wouldn't understand. I had to leave." Blake replied.
"No, I get it! The moment you left, I knew exactly what you were doing!" Sun explained, allowing Blake smiles at him, pleased at feeling understood.
"You're going on a one-woman rampage against the White Fang for hurting Kirby and Kitty!" Sun said.
"I don't know what the White Fang is, but I do like the idea of dealing with those who hurt my godbrother." Mordred added.
"What?" Blake cried, losing her happy expression.
"You always felt like the Fang was your fight. They show up, trash your school, Try to kill your God kids, hurt your friends. It makes perfect sense!" Sun declared.
"I do like the idea of a revenge quest." Mordred added.
"I can't believe you both." Blake replied.
"But there's no way I'm letting you do this alone! It's an honorable approach, for sure, but you're going to need someone to watch your back. And that's where I come in! Us Faunus got to stick together, after all." Sun said, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"You're wrong, Sun. You're so, so wrong." Blake replied, shoving his arm off her shoulder and walking away.
"What are you…" Sun asked, trying to catch up.
"I'm not going anywhere near the White Fang. Not yet." Blake explained.
"Seriously?" Sun asked.
"Sounds to me like she's a scared coward." Mordred commented, knowing that he was right.
"I need to sort some things out." Blake explained.
"Then why not do it with your team? Your friends?" Sun asked.
"You're one to talk! Assuming Neptune, Sage, and Scarlet aren't hiding below deck!" Blake retorted.
"You really think I could get Neptune on the ocean? They flew back to Mistral! I told them I'd catch up! It's not the first time I left them to take a boat! So, if you're not going after the White Fang, where are you going?" Sun asked.
"Home. To Menagerie." Blake explained.
"Well, I'm coming with you. The Grimm are getting worse; you saw it yourself! And just because you're not going after the Fang doesn't mean they won't be coming for you! Besides, I'm... kind of already on the boat." Sun replied, making a good point.
"There's really no stopping you?" Blake asked.
"Nope! This is going to be great! Never been in Menagerie before! It'll be a regular journey to the east! Yeah, I like the sound of that." Sun replied.
"Journey to the West would sound a lot better." Mordred commented, not that the monkey could understand him about that reference Mordred just made.
The Land of Darkness
With Salem and Cinder.
The scene then changes to The Inside Salem's meeting room where Cinder and Salem sit alone at the table as Mercury and Emerald wait by the door. Cinder is breathing heavily with effort while Salem has her right hand casually held out.
"Do you feel it? Don't fight it, girl. It can sense your trepidation. You must make it dread you." Salem explained.
A soft clicking sound makes Cinder turn toward the door. All is blackness but for a slowly moving forward yellow glow. It is revealed to be inside a jellyfish-based Grimm with long red tentacles and a black and white body.
Emerald and Mercury react fearfully to it and pull back as it enters. It glides its way over to Salem at the head of the table. Once the Seer Grimm reaches her side, she leans closer to it. After a moment, she puts her hands together.
"Cinder, I am going to ask you this one more time, and I expect a clear answer. Did you kill Ozpin?" Asked Salem.
Cinder holds her arm out, about to call Emerald over to speak for her. Salem slams both hands onto the table, eyes glowing as she speaks.
"No!" Salem shouted.
"I want to hear you say it." Salem stated specifically.
Cinder struggles to speak for a few seconds before she forced out a horse and raspy answer.
"Yes." Cinder replied.
"Reinforce our numbers at Beacon. The Relic is there." Salem said to the Seer Grimm.
The Seer Grimm glides away. At the door, Emerald and Mercury draw away from it just as they did before. Salem turns her head thoughtfully, looking in the direction away from Cinder and bringing her fingers to her chin.
"What are you planning?" Salem asked to herself as the screen fades to black.
Omake: Kirby discovers kids TV.
In the Underground Cave
After escaping his overbearing mother, Kirby hide in the cave where the child lock was on, preventing him from watching his action movies because his mom deemed them "Too violent and dangerous for them that could influence their lives in a horrible way." making him having to watch Kid's stuff from his dad's world.
Getting on the computer, Kirby started to look around for something exciting to watch then he saw a bunch of colorful horses with the words "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and a bunch of humanized versions of them with the words "My Little Pony: Equestria Girls" across the screen, making him curious as he loved all forms of animals.

30 minutes later.
After watching the entire episode for 30 minutes, Kirby felt like he learned a whole lot about Alligators he didn't know before making him cheer as he couldn't wait to learn more about animals later on before he saw A show about transformers by Hasbro called "Transformers: Prime," distracting him a bit since he likes the franchise.
30 minutes later.
After watching the first episode, Kirby was instantly in love with this series before he notice that he was in the cave for two hours as he gasped, knowing his mommy is probably freaking out right now.
Running to the elevator, Kirby Starting to go up so he could see his mom before she got worried even more so leaving behind a simple single Thought.
