Chapter 25: Battle

I looked up and saw Weiss had caught me and Penny with her summon. "Mother?" I said. "Weiss, all she ever wanted was the maiden's power. I can buy you all time" Penny said. "But Penny..." Weiss said. fire was thrown at us and it caused us,

to fall to the ground. I screamed as we fell. we landed hard and I passed out. When I woke up, I saw Penny standing in front of us. "I'm right here. I'm what you want" Penny said. "I want it all" Cinder said. "No" I said.

Cinder charged at Penny but she was stopped by Blake. "Mom?" I said. Blake looked at me and Weiss who were laying on the floor. "Get up!" Blake said. Weiss got up and ran over to me and helped me up. I saw Ruby fighting Neo. Uru was helping Ruby,

and Nala was helping her too. Weiss and I used a portal to get to them. When we got there Neo was about to attack Ruby. but Weiss and I stopped her. "Leave her alone"

Weiss said. We continued attacking Neo. Weiss helped up Ruby. "Come on, we have to do this for Yang" Weiss said. I nodded. We continued fighting Neo until Neo,

hit Ruby which caused her to fall off. "Mommy!" I cried. Thankfully Ruby landed on a golden pathway but her weapon fell. I flew over to Ruby to help her as Ruby and,

Neo was fighting again. Cinder shot fire at Ruby causing her to fall but she grabbed onto Neo's foot who was also hanging at the edge of the pathway. Neo reached her,

hand out to have Cinder help her but Cinder did something diffrent. Cinder grabbed the lamp. "You should have never threatened me" Cinder said. Cinder kicked Neo's

weapon and it fell into the darkness. Cinder looked at Ruby as she got hold of both of the relics. "And you...Should have never been born" Cinder said. I gasped.

I glared at Cinder. "Don't you dare say that to my mommy!" I shouted. Cinder looked at me and smirked. "And you should have never been adopted by these brats.

they never loved you. your just a waste of space for them and you should have never come into this world eaither" Cinder said. what Cinder had said got to me.

I started to cry as she pushed Neo and Ruby down into the darkness. Cinder is right. my parents never loved me and I was a waste of space for them. Blake charged for Cinder and grabbed Ruby and caught her. she threw her weapon out and it hooked at the end of the,

side. Blake swung up herself and Ruby but Cinder cut Blake's rope and it caused both Ruby and Blake to fall to the ground. "No!" I cried. I continued to cry. "Get back!" Weiss cried. she swung at Cinder and attacked her. Weiss was holding onto Blake's

weapon. the rest of my family, Simba, Uru, Mufasa, Ahadi, Scar, Nala, and Sarabi have all fallen into the darkness during battle. Weiss and I were the only ones left including Jaune and Nora. Cinder was in her battle stance. I stood next to Weiss. "Mother. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being a waste of space and coming into this world" I said. Weiss was in shock. "No, don't listen to her Lana, it's not true. we love you" Weiss said. Cinder,

looked at us and smirked. "it figures a Schnee and her stupid daughter would be the last one standing. letting all her friends die first" Cinder said. Cinder spat fire at,

Weiss but Penny stood in front of Weiss blocking the throw. "You wouldn't know anything about friends" Penny said. "Damn right!" I said. I heard a battle cry and I,

saw Jaune flying towards us. Jaune attacked Cinder and he got into his battle stance. "Daddy" I said. "I'm here Lana, don't worry" Jaune said. Jaune, Penny, Weiss,

and I all lined up and prepared for battle. I felt stronger now with my friends and my parents standing beside me. Cinder then started screaming in pain because smoke,

was coming out of her Grimm arm. this is the same thing that happened to her when I was in captivity. "She's back. and she's coming for you Lana" Cinder said with a smirk.

I gasped in fright. my wife, Salem was here. Salem will punish me badly for running away. "You will not harm my daughter any longer" Jaune said. "We will see" Cinder said.

Cinder threw fire at us. she put lines of fire in between us. I heard Penny screaming in pain. what I saw next shocked me. Cinder stabbed Penny in her chest with her,

Grimm arm. "Penny!" I cried. Jaune and I quickly ran over to Penny when she fell. Jaune and I kneeled down next to Penny. "Penny? Hold on, my semblance" Jaune said holding his hands out. "No, there is no time to heal me. she can't get the staff and the power.

but there is something you can do" Penny said. "No, I don't know where the others are. but Weiss will give us time" Jaune said. "Please let me choose this one thing. trust me" Penny said. Penny wanted us to kill her. "No daddy, please" Jaune said.

"Trust me on this Lana" Jaune said. I saw tears streaming down Jaunes face as he killed Penny with his sword. I know Jaune didn't want to but Penny told him to. Jaune and I fought Cinder as she attacked us. Jaune fell to the ground and Cinder broke Jaune's weapon.

Cinder then picked me up and grabbed me in a tight grip and pointed her weapon at me. "Where did it go?!" Cinder yelled. Jaune stayed silent. then a powerful force hit,

Cinder and Cinder lost her grip on me. I ran back to Weiss and Jaune. I looked up and saw Aunt Winter flying. her eyes had blue fire coming out from her. This means,

Penny gave Aunt Winter the winter maiden's powers. Aunt Winter had begun her battle with Cinder. Jaune helped Weiss and me up and began walking us to the portal.

Cinder threw fire at us but Jaune threw his disk at Cinder but we fell to the ground. when Cinder attacked us Weiss fell into the darkness. "Mother!" I screamed.

Weiss disappeared. now almost all my family has died. it was just me, Jaune, and Aunt Winter left standing. "Weiss!" Aunt Winter yelled as she watched her sister fall.

Winter landed on the pathway. she screamed as she slammed her fists on the ground. she had tears streaming down her face. Aunt Winter and I are pissed at Cinder.

Fire was coming out of Aunt Winter's eyes as she angrily glared at Cinder. we heard a rumbling sound and the ground shook. "We need to go, now" Jaune said.

Aunt Winter ignored him. "You are going to pay for everything you have done" Aunt Winter said in a dark tone. Cinder said nothing and flew away. Aunt Winter grabbed me,

and helped me get to the portal as the paths were disappearing. I watched as Jaune was running up to the portal. "Come on daddy!" I said. The golden pathway was,

disappearing. Aunt Winter and I went through leaving Jaune behined. This meant Jaune didn't make it. "No" I said with tears streaming down my face. "It's gonna be okay Lana, just hang on to me" Aunt Winter said. I hugged Aunt Winter as I held onto her tightly.

We were going super fast through the portal. when we got to the other end of the portal we have arrived in vacuo. I saw the rest of my parents, Ren and Nora and my friend Oscar there along with my Grandma Willow and my Uncle Whittly,

and Kline there along with a bunch of other people. Grimm was attacking and sand was blowing all over the place. Aunt Winter gave a powerful force of wind and the Grimm was pushed back. I was still holding onto Aunt Winter. Everyone was looking at us.

Aunt Winter flew down and set me next to my parents, Ren and Nora. "Look after her" Aunt Winter said. they both nodded.

Aunt Winter charged into battle.
