Hey guys Vic here and this is the last chapter for Volume 4.
This chapter might be wild as I do need to add and replace some stuff to change the story while keeping up with my studies since I pretty much only want to get average since I am not an overachiever like some people.
I am also quite happy for this story to be this long unlike my other stories since I pretty much to focus on this along with AMA. The only problem is that while I need the transcript for this. AMA isn't like VTR, I need to come up of my own because that story change entirely while VTR somewhat change, so I more focus on this than my only singing fanfiction as I really want this to reach the end.
I am very passionate about this because its my only real story. I show plot, I show character change, I show hype, and I even show love which I have minimum experience of.
The thing is, while I am still in my house, I am pretty focus more on my stories since I have easy access on this, so don't made me regret making this story because I don't.
But enough of that, so you know the drill.

Chapter:25 Conquer to Move On
The sounds of thunder and gunfire are heard against a black screen. A wide shot of Kuroyuri shows the empty, degraded town. A billowing cloud of dust and pieces of wood rise in the distance around the top of a tree that is barely visible above the town rooftops.Jaune, Ruby, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha all fall back by the dead cherry tree. Qrow is still unconscious and propped against it.
The Grimm known as the Nuckelavee comes into view, twitching its various body parts. It sends out a shockwave roar that causes all four teenagers to flinch. The Grimm looks at the teenagers and turns its head to look at Qrow and begins running toward him.
Jaune sheaths his sword and makes a run for Qrow. The Nuckelavee lashes out with one of its arms, able to extend it at a far reach. Jaune avoids it and gets Qrow upright, but the Nuckelavee is heading right for them.
Ren uses his Semblance to hide Jaune and Qrow from the Grimm, which stops short and looks about in confusion. Jaune stands still, staring at the Grimm.
"Just get him to safety!" Ren shouted at his leader as Jaune walks away with Qrow while the battle resumes. He sets Qrow down behind a building and narrows his eyes at the wounded man before turning to leave. Qrow grabs him by the hand, but falls unconscious before he can say anything. Jaune gives Qrow another look before rejoining the fight.
The Grimm is using its arms to grab hold of each of Jaune's teammates, but is continually distracted by the fire of the next one.
"Guys, keep moving, go in a circle!" Jaune ordered as everyone followed along.
Bacchus quickly swoop in with Monarch behind him as he used Cross Poison, but needed to avoid one of its arms so Monarch used Psychic to stop it.
Ruby and Pyrrha kept firing as Jaune went in with his new sword.
The fight continues and Ren ends up pinned to a building by a Nuckelavee extended arm.
"Ruby!" Nora called out to the redhead as Ruby nods, and she uses Crescent Rose to launch Nora in between Ren and the Nuckelavee's would-be fatal strike with its other hand. Magnhild is pinned to the building above Ren, with Nora dangling from it while Ren look up.
Nora pulled her skirt down and said, "Stop looking!"
Ren quickly covered his eyes, "Ah-ugh."
Nora grins to herself but the Nuckelavee flings Nora around until she is knocked to the ground with her Aura depleted. Ren uses StormFlower to give himself leverage to pull the Nuckelavee hand off of him. He repeatedly goes after the creature, exhibiting reckless behavior, his eyes wild.
"Ren! Knock it off!" Jaune called out to him but Ren ignores him and ends up on the ground beside Nora, separated from StormFlower and his Aura also depleted. The two partners rise together, Nora first. Ren's eyes are only on the creature, and Nora tackles him and drags him under a building.
The Nuckelavee advances, but Jaune blocks it with the upgraded Crocea Mors and its Aura barrier. Ren attempts to rejoin the fight but Nora holds him back by the wrist, her head down.
"Nora, let go! Nora, they're going to get hurt if we don't—" Ren tried to reason with her but without even looking up, Nora slaps Ren. He stops and turns to face her, and she finally lets go, putting her hands in her lap.
"No. I won't let you kill yourself like this. After everything we've been through, I won't let it end," Nora reasoned with him to make him snap out of it.
She raises her head, but Ren sees his memory of Nora as a scared little girl before blinking and seeing her normally. Like back then, she has tears in her eyes.
"Not like this," Nora said as Ren sighs and pulls the knife his father gave him out of his boot. He holds it in both hands. Nora places her hand on the hilt with his and closes his fingers around it. She looks at him with a fierce, determined expression.
"We can do this," Nora said as Ren looks at her with big eyes before nodding in agreement. Together they step out from under the building. Nora picks up Magnhild and the two are promptly joined by Ruby, Jaune, Pyrrha, Bacchus, and Monarch.
"Ren. Jaune and I can take care of its arms," Ruby said.
"Me and Pyrrha will take care of the horse while Bacchus and Monarch give us support," Nora said.
"And I'll take care of the rest," Ren said as Nora heads to a rooftop with Pyrrha. Ruby uses herself as a target until she manages to pin an arm to the ground with the tip of Crescent Rose. Ren's knife is flung and embeds itself into the body of the Grimm. Jaune is positioned to be the next target as Ren uses Jaune's shield to pin down the other arm.
"Now!" Ren shouted as Jaune strikes his sword through the Nuckelavee's arm into the ground.
"Nora! Pyrrha!" Pyrrha then shot the horse's head to weaken it and Nora freefalls from the roof to land a killing blow to the head of the horse. Monarch then used Stun Spore to stop the Grimm from moving and Bacchus then used Confuse Ray to make the Nuckelavee immobile more. Ren retrieves his knife and walks before the trapped Grimm.
"For my mother," Ren then cut off its left arm.
"For my father," Then its right arm.
"For all those that you've slain," Then its numbed torso as Ren closed his eyes.
"For myself," He opens his eyes and swings with the knife, beheading the grimm. It dies in a pillar of black smoke. Ren drops the knife and breathes out a sigh of relief only to be tackled by a giggling, triumphant Nora. He hugs her back and gives a single laugh.
Ruby runs into the alley where Qrow was left during the fight. She breathes a sigh of relief that he is still alive.
"It's quiet. Good job, kiddo," Qrow weakly praised them.
"Guys! I think I hear something!" Jaune called out to them as in the courtyard two wood and metal airships are coming in to land; Nora points in Qrow's direction.
A man in a brown flight suit with an air tank on his back carries Qrow on a green stretcher with Ruby walking alongside them, her hand on Qrow's shoulder.
The two rescue ships take off, everyone on board.
"How did you find us out here?" Jaune asked.
"We were on patrol and saw the smoke. Nobody's been out here for years, thought something might be wrong," The pilot said as Ruby crouch by Qrow and held his hand.
"What if we don't make it in time?" Ruby asked.
"Ruby," Jaune called out to her as Ruby looks up and sees the flourishing city before them.
"We made it, Uncle Qrow," Ruby said in joy.
Jaune and Pyrrha are sitting on their own as the couple cuddle with each other while they look outside with smiles on their faces. Bacchus and Monarch stayed outside to enjoy the tragedy they escape as flew along the breeze.
Nora and Ren sit on the edge of the open rescue airship, their legs dangling. Nora is looking out at the city, feeling happy. Ren is watching her, begins smiling and puts his hand on hers. She gives a slight start but turns her hand over to hold his. She looks at him and gives him a smile, and he smiles back.
Nora scoots closer and rests her head on his shoulder.
The airships fly in to the city.
Ruby walks into a double bed accommodation. It has barren furnishings: two beds, a large desk and a nightstand. Qrow sleeps under the blankets of one of the beds. Ruby sets the collapsed Crescent Rose on the empty bed and walks over to Qrow, putting her hand on his head.
She walks over and sits at the desk, picking up the pen and writing on the notepad.
'Hey sis, I hope my letters have been reaching you and Dad. Hand-written stuff's never been super reliable, but I guess it's all we've got these days. Anyway, in case you haven't been getting them, I want to say I'm sorry for leaving the way I did. I know you told me it was a reckless idea, and after everything I've been through, I can definitely say you were right. It's been hard, on all of us, and I'm not just talking about the monsters we fought out here.'
In Atlas, one of the pilot count some Liens with Weiss infront of him.
"Okay, you can hide out back in the cargo hold. I'll take you as far as I can, but if we get caught, you're on your own. Understand?" The pilot said Weiss nods affirmatively and begins walking forward.
'Every step we made took us further and further from the things we knew. And every morning we woke up wondering, if just over the next hill would be something good or something terrible.'
In Menagerie, it showed Blake in father's office. She places a small chest on the desk and opens it. Inside are various objects, including a flag with a new White Fang emblem, a spiral notebook and a book.
'It's scary not knowing what's going to happen next. And the things we do know now—just how bad it can get—it almost makes it all worse.'
Yang is currently on the same ship Blake took to Menagerie as she wore a new set of clothes.
She wears a tan jacket with orange lining and gold edging, unzipped halfway to show an orange crop top. The coat has darker brown short sleeves, a thick collar that completely encircles her neck, and two long gold-trimmed rectangular tails. She also wears fitted black pants, and her hair has been let down again like her original outfit.
Around her hips and over the tails of her coat is a brown belt, which has two pieces of dark brown material trimmed in gold attached to it. The first covers from her left hip to the back of the belt and is folded over the belt, and the second is attached from the right hip and almost around to the other piece of material. She wears knee-high brown boots with gold caps on the heel and toe, with the heel cap attaching to a gold strap across the front of her ankle, and a gold zipper on the upper half of the front of the boots. A single small buckled strap is on the upper outside of her boots, and a purple bandanna tied around her left knee. A pair of black fingerless gloves with long brown cuffs reaching to mid-forearm complete the outfit.
She is looking at a ticket and a photograph of a picture of her father and uncle along with two other women with them, with Bumblebee nearby.
'You told me once that bad things just happen. You were angry when you said it, and I didn't want to listen.'
Tai is currently staring on the same picture his eldest daughter has.
'But you were right, bad things do happen, all the time, every day. Which is why I'm out here, to do whatever I can, wherever I can, and hopefully do some good.'
Zwei barks at Tai, and he smiles, looking across the room at a framed photo of Team RWBY. On the photo, "New Friends!!!" is written with a heart shape drawn near the writing.
'We've all lost something, and I've seen what loss can do to people.'
Jaune is currently in his hotel room with Pyrrha as the couple sat in front of the bed with their weapons leaning on the wall.
'But if we gave up every time we lost, then we'd never be able to move forward.'
Nora and Ren open the door. Jaune and Pyrrha smiles as Ren sets his father's dagger next to Crocea Mors. Nora sits beside Jaune on the left and leans on him, while Ren sits on the bed behind them and rests his hand on Nora's shoulder.
'We'd never have a chance to see what beautiful things the future might have waiting for us. We'd never have the strength to change; whether it's ourselves, or the world around us.'
Weiss, sitting on top of her suitcase in the airship's cargo hold, gazes out into the sunset and smiles as the airship flies over the Atlesian mountains. In Menagerie, Blake puts down the current White Fang flag and picks up the old white and blue flag. She lowers it and smiles at Sun, who is sitting in a chair with his arms behind his head in a relaxed position.
'And we'd never be there for other people who might one day be lost without us. This is what we were training for, Yang, to become Huntresses, to be the ones to stand up and do something about all the bad in the world.'
The Captain and First Mate smile and wave goodbye as Yang drives Bumblebee away from the port, headed toward Mistral. In Mantle, Vic and the Polendina's are working on some prototype Pokeballs with some needed parts they have received from the Suesei's as they work vigilantly on the product.
'Because there are plenty of people out there who are still lost and even more who will try to gain everything they can from their sorrow.'
Ilia lands on a rooftop in Menagerie in the night, as Corsac and Fennec wait for her. Ilia gets on one knee and lowers her head after they turn to face her.
'Believe me when I say, I know it can feel impossible, like every single day is a struggle against some unstoppable monster we can never hope to beat.'
In the Land of Darkness, Cinder snaps her fingers, having defeated at least the two Beowolves disintegrating on the ground in her continued training. Mercury is leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. Emerald puts two fingers on her head, concentrating as she generates a hallucination of Ruby begging for mercy. Cinder focuses a large stream of fire on the hallucination from her right hand, glaring at it with her eye glowing. Nearby, the pale woman is watching, looking pleased.
Back with Ruby, she kept writing on her notebook.
'But we have to try, if not for us, then for the people we've already—'
She stops and crosses out the last few words as she alters her statement.
'Then for the people we haven't lost yet.'
As Ruby finishes writing, the note is shown and two tears fall on the page.
'I miss you so much. I miss Weiss and Blake too. But I think you'd all be proud to know that I made it to Mistral. All of us did, and we even ran into Uncle Qrow along the way.'
Qrow, in her room, pushes himself over with one arm and grunts while propping up his head with the other hand. Ruby stops writing to check on him.
"Hey, aren't I normally the one saving you?" Qrow said with a knowing smile as Ruby wipes tears from her right eye and smiles down at Qrow.
'He's going to take us to see Professor Lionheart, the Headmaster of Haven Academy. And he told us some things that you're gonna wanna hear, things I can't trust will make it to you in this letter. But maybe, if you join us, he could tell you himself. With Beacon gone they'll need Dad at Signal more than ever, and I know you need to focus on yourself before I can expect you to come out with me. But it sure would be great to get Team RWBY back together again.'
It then showed Yang riding down a path on Bumblebee, before coming to a stop at a crossroads and looking at a sign post. The signpost points right for Mistral and left for Kuroyuri, and the sign for Kuroyuri has "BANDITS" spray painted across it in big, red letters.
"You are in so much trouble when I find you," Yang said.
'Until next time, your loving sister, Ruby Rose.'
Yang smiles as she continues to ride her motorcycle.
'Oh! Uh, PS. I'll be sure to give you the address of where we're staying in Mistral! I'd love to hear back from you and Dad, and I can't wait to fill you in on whatever's going to happen next! Now that we've made it across Anima I really think things are gonna start going our way.'
With Qrow, he is seen sitting at a bar sometime later, fully healed from his wound. Then someone approached him from behind.
It was a boy who is short in stature. His skin is tanned and he has a faint, perpetual blush and freckles on his cheeks. His hair is black and his eyes are hazel, the main iris being forest green, with accents of burnt orange and yellow around the pupil.
He wears a dirty and scuffed white shirt that has laces across the chest. The sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, and there is a pocket on the left tricep. Orange suspenders hold up his olive pants, which are tucked into worn, brown boots. The pants are patched over the knee, and a quilted cloth hangs loosely out of his left pocket. He wears orange gloves, with green straps overlapping across the back of the hand in an X shape, and around the wrist. His neck is wrapped with a torn bandage, though it is noted to not be covering a wound.
Beside him is a small, rodent-like creature with pale yellow fur and pink cheeks. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail are black and angular. On its back is a blue ukulele with light green strap.
"Excuse me?" Qrow then turned around to face boy.
"You know, I don't think they allow kids in here, pipsqueak," Qrow said as the boy look at its left arm as it moves.
"Shut up, I'm getting there," The boy said to no one as Qrow gives him a questioning look.
"Um, I'm supposed to tell you, I'd like my cane back?" The boy said as Qrow's eyes widen for a moment in surprise.
"It's good to see you again, Oz," Qrow said as he withdraws Ozpin's Cane in its compact mode and tosses it to the boy, who presses a button on the hilt, extending the baton. The boy grasps the baton with the other hand, surprised, before looking at Qrow with a determined face along with the small rodent.

Grimmverse: VTR Version
The Creature of the Black Lake 4
Somewhere in Mistral, in one of its large swamps, a group of four bandits casually walk through the soft mud beneath them without a care.
"We got a lot of good loot boys," The middle man said as they celebrate their little raid.
"Those losers didn't have the chance," The right man boasted as they laugh.
The three men didn't notice something in the water is moving, and continued walking along.
"We could've killed them on the spot you know," The left man said.
"But where's the fun in that. If we did kill them, how do we get ourselves known to everyone as the one who stole them. Our reputation would be so great," The right man said.
"Because we don't go that far," The middle man said as the right man scoff at him.
"You two are just wusses, I didn't even hesitate shooting one of them on the gut," He said as his two other associates scoff at him.
"That is so light and you know it," The left man said.
"Am not."
"Are to."
"Am not!"
"Are to!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TO!"
"STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN YOU MORONS!" The middle shouted at the two as he bash them on the head.
Suddenly they heard something surface from the murky water as the three bandits look around till they see a small creature sitting on a rock.
Its a small, amphibious quadruped. It has a pitch black body with a grey underside, and small spikes slightly come out of its back. It has a large head with a black fin on top and a pale white tail fin. It has red, beady eyes and white, star-shaped gills on its cheeks.
"Is that a Grimm?" The left man questioned as his companions were also confused.
The right man scoffed and said, "Let's not waste our time on that thing. It's small size is not worth anything."
"But we could get famous because of this, we just discovered a new type of Grimm," The middle man said.
"He has a point," The left man said.
"Oh come on, we just started that we should be criminals, but you now want to become biologists! We decided this since when we went to prison!" The right man shouted at them.
"But how long do we have to do this? We just attack only civilians and not those Schnee Dusts," The left man said.
"Because its impossible," The middle man said.
"Because you're a wuss!" The right man shouted at the middle man as said man was getting tired of the obnoxious guy and proceeds to punch him with the left man getting dragged along.
As they continue to fight, the small Grimm took this chance to take a deep breathe and spit out a small stream of acid.
It would've hit one of the three men if not for the wind making the attack miss.
The three men then heard something sizzling and saw the ground getting eaten away by the acid.
The right man quickly realize this as he got angry and pulled out his people, "That squirt really think to attack us huh?"
"Come on dude," The left man said till the gun was pointed at him.
"Oh shut up! I'm killing that thing!" The right man then points his pistol at the small Grimm but saw that it was not on the rock anymore. "Where did that Grimm go?!"
"Maybe it- AHH!!" Sudenly the middle man got hit by a glob of acid on his back that is starting to eat through his clothes then to his flesh.
The two remaining man could watch in horror to see their friend slowly getting eaten alive by the acid.
"Where is that little sh*t!" The right man shouted as the two look around till they saw a blob of acid coming of the water and is coming right at them.
The two quickly dodge it as the right man fired of his pistol at the water to shot the small Grimm it he ran out of bullets.
"Did you get it?" The man asked as he pants rapidly.
"I think I-"
Suddenly something jump out of the water right in front of them and made them yelp in fear.
It is an amphibious, bipedal creature. Its body is primarily dark black with a lighter shade of gray for its underside and an pale white belly. It's head has an angular white fin, red eyes, white gills on the ends of both cheeks, and a bony lower jaw with sharp spikes for teeth. It has long arms with three-fingered hands. Its feet have three small toes, and it has two white fins for tails.
The creature then screeched at them as the two men quickly ran away with the Grimm chasing them.
"What the heck is that!" The left man shouted in fear.
"I don't know!" The right man shouted at him as they keep running.
They pass fallen logs and mossy stones to avoid the Grimm that is chasing them till they saw the end of the swamp.
"There it is!" The left man shouted in joy when they saw this as they kept running till they saw a familiar white fin, and the Grimm jump on their path of escape.
The two quickly stop in fear when they saw their chance of escaping was blocked by the Grimm as thet brought knives from their pockets while holding them with shaky hands.
"St-Stay back," The left man stuttered as the Grimm only look at them with its red beady eyes.
Suddenly they saw the Grimm's body shake like crazy till they saw its body slowly morph.
The two men step back in fear of this till they saw the Grimm finished its transformation.
It was now larger, bulkier, and hunched with long arms and short legs. There are now white conical gills that protrude from round patches on either side of its face. Two large fan-like white fins extend from the top of its now crimson eyes to the back of its head. Similarly, a white fan-like tail fin extends upward from its hindquarters, and a hard boney mask on its face with a moving lower jaw that circles around the gills.
The two men are now shaking in fear of the now large Grimm that they are facing as they are quite defenseless with simple knives.
The large Grimm glared at them as its gills are glowing in a light blue color till it opens its mouth, and fired a frigid beam of ice at the two remaining bandits.
The two stood there in fear as the beam hit them and puts them in a large chunk of ice.
As the deed is done, the Grimm carried the small glacier and threw it to the water were eternally be frozen and be kept deep down the murky swamp.
Suddenly the Grimm heard a splash and look behind to see G. Vic with his head sticking out of the water.
"Bunta," G. Vic said in a childish voice and a smile to show his two pairs of teeth.
G. Bunta smiled when he saw him as he wraps himself in a black caccoon and broke out as a little Grimm Mudkip.
G. Bunta then went in the swamps as he and G. Vic circle around each other and dived down the murky waters to never be seen again.
Omake end
And that is it for this chapter.
Oh boy, Volume 5 here I come.
As you can see, I have reached this far to this story, and I am not stopping now. Which also means I need to focus more on this so I could reach it.
While Arc Music Album is pretty much liked, I have trouble making some new plots because of the many characters I added, and I need to improvise.
Watching the Elements is really near its end because I would either end it right there and discontinue it, or put it in hiatus for a long time.
My new story, Pokemon Honor and Pride, is just a small little project of mine so I update it sometimes in the future.
Now, I just want to thank you guys because of you read this story as well since this is pretty much my pride and joy. This story is my only one that is not a reaction story because of my limited choices. Like really, only some you guys really read this and watch AMA, but not my other stories.
For now, I'll stop complaining, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
Vic out Peace.
