Tags: Placed right at the tail end of V8, Before Ironwood's ultimatum but after Ozpin's nuke, In response to Salem's poor showing of Volume 8, Greater evils have been unleashed, Salem was not completely defeated in this one, Bad Ending?


It was supposed to be over. Salem was supposed to slink away, and the day was won. However, to Yang and those on the ground, there was an underlying feeling of dread and it was not coming from Salem, who rose only more pissed.

A blast of magic ready to fire only to fizzle out to get a chill up her spine. No one known why the sky was suddenly blood red…or the shattered moon suddenly had a…face and was looking down at them.

"Uh…h…"

The moon screamed with blood oozing out of the eyes and raining down upon them as the holes in the sky formed with black masses seeping out. Salem, who was nigh immortal, did something that Ozpin and those who knew her secrets thought she'd never do. She was praying for the gods…

"Praying for a miracle? Yeah, because the Gods gave a shit about your first call…"

That voice….came from everywhere yet nowhere at the same time as everyone on the planet could hear it.

"No, this is it. The Grimm will no longer be squandered by some jilted fool. No…you all call yourselves hunter of the Grimm. But the Grimm you see are the mere watered down versions thanks to the false queen Salem. Tonight onwards…you will see REAL GRIMM!"

From the ground and from the air, blackened creatures came out. Twisted horrors of flesh, bone, metal, and blood. Some looked vaguely like Grimm they had seen before, but some looked very…human. Now our heroes were barely adjusting to talking Grimm, so hearing those human Grimm speak full sentences about what they were going to do them was pant-pissingly disturbed.

"From you want to know who is leading it…and I mean Ozma and Salem want to see me…after all…"

From the center, the largest crack in the ground formed with a pillar with figures in cloaks. The one in the center shed her cloak. Her visage was broadcasted by Seer Grimm to all over the world.

"No…no….no." Salem said weakly as she fall to her knees.

"E…e…Estelle?" Ozcar said horrified.

"Mother…Father…how good it is to be see you again." Estelle said.

She looked wrong to everyone save for the crazed…an unholy mix of Grimm and human. Her skin a parlor white, her eyes red with grey sclerae, a pair of horns on her head, and dressed in odd robes with a blood red duster coat. All grown up unlike the little girl she was long…long ago.

"But this isn't a happy reunion. No, because of your foolish fight. Me and my sisters were killed and our souls banished from Remnant. I ended up in the Void of the Grimm…repeatedly tortured by these creatures until I snapped one day. And now…with both your magic at the weakest point, I could return to make you, this world, and all suffer for your actions. No one from this day forward, no human, no faunus is safe." Estelle roared. "And I brought some friends who have…loved ones they wish to see."

The other figures dropped the cloaked to see what was basically Grimmified versions of those fallen.

"Oh...I can't wait for a team STRQ reunion." Summer said cackling.

"I have so many humans I want to murder…" Adam said sharpening his blade. "I'll save Blake for last."

"Must kill Schnee!" Banesaw said revving his new chainsaw.

Out come from the portal, what was the mixture of zombie White Fang members with Grimm parts came out moaning and screaming for RWBY's blood.

"I figure RWBY trapped these fools underground…and now…I say Remnant is no more. It is nothing but Ruin." Estelle said as the Grimm advanced.

She saw fit to sing a demented rhyme.

"Atlas is falling down, falling down.

Crushing all of Mantle's life,

My dear death day."


(A/N: A simple horror show to match the actual shit show of how things are going in RWBY right now. And I've given you a final boss much more interesting than Salem herself. If someone wants to take this idea to make a miniseries of their own, just ask.)
