End Eclipse of the World (Guitar Version)
Blake and Oleana were in shock. The former of the two began backing away slowly.
"Running away again?" Adam crooned. "Is that what you've become, my love? A coward?"
Blake was still shaken up. "Why are you doing this?"
"You and I were going to change the world, remember?" Adam replied. "We were destined to light the fires of revolution!" Adam stepped on the body of one of the people who had attempted to fight him. "Consider this the spark."
Adam drew his sword and prepared to finish the man, but Blake and Oleana were quick to stop him. Oleana's trident was pressed against Adam's sword, sparks flying as the weapons pushed on each other. "We're not running!" said Oleana.
Adam said nothing. He knocked Oleana away with a boot to her abdomen.
A Creep came running over to kill the Great White Faunus, only for Blake to step in and destroy it with Gambol Shroud.
Meanwhile...
The rest of the party, along with a large group of other students, were clear for now. Yang arrived, running up to Aris. "Have you heard from Ruby yet?" she asked.
Aris shook his head.
"Blake?"
Aris shook his head again. "She and Oleana went after an Alpha Beowolf." He pointed in the direction they'd gone. "As well as some members of the White Fang."
"You go look for Ruby," Yang told him. "I'll find Blake and Oleana."
Aris nodded. "Will do."
Back with Oleana and Blake...
"This could have been our day!" yelled Adam. "Can't you see that?!"
"I never wanted this!" Blake cried. "I wanted equality! I wanted peace!"
She and Oleana fired a few shots at Adam, but he blocked them with his sword. "What you want is impossible!" He slammed Blake back to the ground. "But I understand. Because all I want...is you, Blake."
The feline Faunus tried to get to her feet, but Adam knocked her down again. "And as I set out upon this world and deliver the justice that mankind so greatly deserves...I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love."
A voice. "Blake! Oleana! Where are you?"
Yang!
Blake's eyes widened with terror.
"I'll start with her," Adam seethed.
Adam drew his sword and drove it into Blake's hip. The cat Faunus screamed in agony. Yang turned and saw the sight.
Oleana finally got up and jumped at Adam, Stormbringer raised over her head. Adam ran his sword through her midsection, a twisted, demented grin on his face. He slowly turned to Yang as Oleana fell to the floor, bleeding out.
Yang screamed with anger. Her hair burned bright, her eyes turned deep crimson. She jumped at Adam.
BGM: You Idiot - Undertale
Adam raised his sword.
It cut through Yang's elbow.
A forearm fell to the ground somewhere in the room.
Yang fell to the floor.
Adam slowly advanced on the fallen blonde, his sword ready.
Blake got in front of Yang, breathing heavily.
Adam stopped. "Why must you hurt me in this way, Blake?"
Adam reared his sword, and slashed through Blake's neck. Blake faded away in a shower of black clouds.
The bull Faunus gasped. Meanwhile, the real Blake carried Yang's body out of the burning room.
Adam sighed. He didn't bother going after her.
Instead, he slowly stepped towards Oleana, who was barely hanging on. She lay in a pool of blood, barely breathing.
Adam stood over her. "I will give you a choice, shark. Join me, and I'll make sure you get the best doctors around to heal that wound of yours. If you don't choose to join me...then I'll have to end it right here."
Oleana glared at him, and strained. "Over...my...dead body..."
Adam smirked. "That will be arranged.
And with that, Adam drew his sword, and freed Oleana Laurent's head right off her shoulders.
End BGM
Meanwhile, back at the landing area, Port and Oobleck were addressing the crowd as a plethora of airships arrived. "Everyone on board!" said Port. "This is a mandatory evacuation!"
"A safe zone has been established in Vale," Oobleck added. "Please, remain calm and listen to Atlas personnel!"
Weiss put a hand to her mouth.
Behind Weiss, Ruby and Aris arrived, running hand in hand. "I found her!" Aris called.
Weiss immediately dashed over. "Ruby, where have you-"
"Don't worry," said Ruby. "I'm fine! What's going on?"
Weiss averted her eyes and stepped to the side. Aris and Ruby gasped.
Ren and Nora knelt near Blake and Yang. Blake was holding her left hip. Yang was unconscious, and missing her right arm.
Aris started to panic. "W-Where's Oleana..?"
Blake managed to strain. "Sh-She didn't...make...it..."
Aris started to cry. "No...no..."
He fell to his knees and screamed.
Sun Wukong approached. "The soldiers have a ship ready to take you guys to Vale."
Nora groaned. "But Jaune and Pyrrha are still missing!"
"What?!" said Ruby.
"Look, guys," said Sun, "that giant Grimm keeps circling the school." He pointed. "Even the White Fang are dipping! We all have to go...now!"
Ren tried to stand. "We're not leaving-" He winced, groaned, and got back to his knees.
Ruby breathed. "I'll find them. I'll find them, and I'll bring them back."
Two voices in unison. Aris and Weiss. "No. We'll find them."
Pikachu voiced her agreement. "Pika!"
Weiss turned to the rest of the group. "Watch over Blake and Yang. We'll be back."
The three ran off towards Beacon.
On their run towards the building, Weiss's Scroll rang. "It's Jaune!" she exclaimed. She answered his call. "Where are you?"
"Weiss!" Jaune cried. "Please! You have to stop her! Pyrrha! She's going after that woman, at the top of the tower! She doesn't stand a chance!"
"Jaune, what are you talking about?" said Weiss. "Where are you?"
Jaune's voice started breaking. He sounded like he was about to cry. "Don't worry about me. Please...you have to save Pyrrha."
Weiss responded. "We will. Are you okay?"
No response.
"Jaune? Jaune!"
A tremor.
The Wyvern Grimm perched on one of the buttresses supporting the tower. Ruby readied Crescent Rose, and Aris drew his sword and shield. "I have a plan," said Ruby.
Weiss readied Myrtenaster. "You always do."
The trio rushed towards the tower.
They ran into Grimm along the way. They stood in a circle, facing outward, wailing away on the monsters. "We gotta hurry!" said Ruby.
Weiss looked at the tower and cast a two lines of glyphs. Aris put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't exert yourself. I can get up there on my own."
Weiss nodded, and one of the glyph lines disappeared. "You can do this," she said to Aris and Ruby.
Ruby and Aris darted to the tower. The hooded Huntress ran up the wall as if she were Spider-Man, thanks to Weiss's glyphs. Aris bent his knees and jumped, a pair of glowing golden wings manifesting on his back. This was the Power of Flight, which was gifted to him by the gods of Pit's world after the war with Hades was over.
Soon, they reached the top of the tower. Aris's wings disappeared; he wouldn't be able to use the Power of Flight until tomorrow.
They were too late.
Aris and Ruby watched as Cinder Fall shot an arrow into Pyrrha's heart.
Cinder walked up to the gasping warrior, laying a hand on the side of her head. Pyrrha faded away in a shower of gold.
Ruby screamed, "PYRRHA!"
And for Aris, everything went black.
Some time later...
Aris felt himself swimming into consciousness. He opened his eyes with a groan. His head pounded like crazy.
He sat up. He was in a bed, in a fancy room. He recognized this place. He was in the sleeping quarters of Palutena's temple, in Skyworld. Pit's home!
Aris got to his feet and exited the room. Palutena's centurions milled about, some of them simply on patrol, and others carrying out various household chores for their goddess.
The Hylian ignored the centurions and searched for Pit. He found the angel lounging in a hot spring in the backyard. As usual, Pit was sitting in the hot spring fully clothed.
The angel noticed him. "Oh, hey. You're awake."
Aris nodded. "As awake as I'll ever be. What happened while I was out?"
Pit looked down. "It was all a blur. The last thing I have a concrete memory of is taking you to the Portal Shrine, and then having Lady Palutena take us back here, to Skyworld, after we came out. You were knocked out the whole time."
"Where's Nash?" asked Aris, worried.
"I don't know," said Pit. "He said that after what happened to Oleana, he didn't know what to do. I imagine he's somewhere else in Remnant, but I don't know if he's doing okay."
Aris sighed. "I guess all we can do is pray for his safety."
Pit nodded.
Aris turned to the angel. "Are we ever going back? To Remnant, I mean?"
Pit nodded again. "Of course we are. We just have to assemble a new team for us."
"A new team?" Aris was confused. "You mean, we find a couple of people in other worlds and recruit them?"
Pit smiled. "My thoughts exactly."
"Who were you thinking of asking?" Aris inquired.
"I was gonna leave that up to you," Pit answered.
Aris thought for a moment. Who would he want to have in his corner in Remnant?
He snapped his fingers. He'd made his decision.
"You've decided?" asked Pit.
Aris nodded. "I want to head out as soon as we can."
Pit got up from the hot spring. "We can head our right now, then."
Aris clapped him on the shoulder. "Time to get the band back together."
