Here we are at Chapter 51. Some people were upset about Pyrrha dying, but there is a reason for it, one which you all will find out about in the future. Anyway, I do not own RWBY or Tales of Berseria. They belong to their respective owners. Here's chapter 51. Enjoy.

Chapter 51: New Arrival

...Several months after the Fall of Beacon…

Velvet is sleeping on a bed, enjoying a peaceful rest. A moment later, Ruby Rose walks up next to the bed.

"Velvet…Velvet…It's time to wake up," Ruby whispers into her ear.

"Ugh…five more minutes," Velvet groans as she tries to go back to sleep.

"Velvet…if you won't wake up…then who will be there to save me?" Ruby says ominously.

Velvet opens her eyes and looks, only to see a Beowolf appear behind Ruby, with its claws raised.

Velvet widens her eyes, "RUBY!" she screams as she reaches for her.

…

Velvet suddenly jumps up, with her arm outstretched, breathing heavily. She takes a moment, realizing it was just a dream. But then she remembers something.

"Ruby!" Velvet says as she stands up, only to find herself back in the white expanse from before.

"I see you've finally woken up," she hears behind her and looks back to see Summer Rose standing there. "It's good to see you're alright Velvet Crowe," she says.

Velvet quickly walks right up to her, "Where is Ruby?!" she demands.

"Listen, we need to talk," Summer begins.

"I don't have time for that. Ruby is in trouble. The school is under attack. And Pyrrha…Pyrrha…" Velvet trails off as she remembers what happened to Pyrrha.

"Velvet…the attack on Beacon is already over. The Fall of Beacon ended months ago," Summer admits.

"…What? What do…what do you mean?" Velvet asks.

"When you and Ruby made it to the top of the tower, you saw Cinder Fall kill Pyrrha Nikos. By that point, Cinder Fall had already killed the previous Fall Maiden, Amber, and stole the other half of her powers, becoming the new Fall Maiden. You tried to stop her, and then Ruby unleashed her power," Summer explains.

"Ruby…I remember her screaming and then something…bright came out of her eyes," Velvet remembers.

"Yes. The power of the Silver Eyes. Those born with Silver Eyes, a rare trait in my world, are gifted with incredible power. A power so great that even the Grimm themselves feared this power. It was in this one moment that I pulled you into this expanse, where you have been asleep for several months," Summer says.

"What?! What about Ruby? Is she alright?" Velvet asks frantically.

"Ruby is fine, but Velvet, you need to understand. Things…aren't good right now in Remnant," Summer says.

"What do you mean?" Velvet asks.

"Beacon has become infested with Grimm, and the tower is destroyed. With it gone, the CCT is down so no one can contact the outside world. People outside of Vale don't know what really happened. All they saw were Atlas machines attacking innocent civilians, and Grimm invading the school. The divide between the kingdoms has grown even more so now because of it. Some people have lost their lives in this tragedy," Summer says.

"Well…what about my team?" Velvet asks.

"Right now, Team RVWBY…is divided and disbanded," Summer admits.

Velvet appears stunned, "What?" she asks.

"Weiss was taken be her father back to Atlas, and has been kept there under his watch for months. Blake ran away after everyone got into Vale, and hasn't been seen since. Yang, my sweet sunflower, lost her arm, and is living back with her father, very depressed. She and Ruby have a strained relationship now. And Ruby…is alive, thank the gods, but has left our home in Patch to pursue those responsible for the Fall of Beacon," Summer says.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Send me to Ruby so I can help her!" Velvet demands.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. At least, not yet anyway," Summer replies.

"What are you talking about?" Velvet asks, starting to lose her patience.

"Velvet…I need you to take a moment, close your eyes and a deep breathe, and then I need you to focus within yourself," Summer says.

"What does that have to do anything?" Velvet asks.

"Please, just do it. Trust me," Summer pleads. Velvet growls a little bit, but sighs and complies. "Now, I need to you to get a feel of your power. Do you sense anything that seems…different than before?" Summer asks.

Velvet remains still for a few moments, not understanding what Summer is talking about, but tries it anyway. For the first few moments, she feels nothing, and is about to call it quits…when she suddenly senses something different within her. It didn't feel like her aura, or her demon powers. This felt…brighter than that.

"I…I feel…something. It feels…warm, and bright, not like my own powers. What is it?" Velvet asks, keeping her eyes closed.

Summer sighs, "It's just as I thought. Velvet Crowe, you have a piece of the Fall Maiden's powers," she says.

Velvet opens her eyes at this point, "What?" she asks, confused.

"You used your power on Cinder Fall right as Ruby was about to unleash her power. Even though it was only for a short moment, you managed to absorb a spark of it before everything went white from Ruby's power," Summer explains.

"So what? Can I do the same things that Cinder did?" Velvet asks.

"Not quite. Like I said, it is only a small part of the Fall Maiden's powers, but it is a start. That is why you are here. I will teach you a few things about this power to help you learn how to control it. After that, I will send you back to Remnant," Summer says.

"But how long will that take?" Velvet asks.

"Hopefully, not too long. But until then, you must remain here," Summer says.

"And what about my teammates? What about Ruby?" Velvet asks again, worried for them.

"Fear not, I have sent others in your place to help them for the time being," Summer says as she tries to calm her worries.

"What? Who?" Velvet asks again.

"Some people that you know very well…" Summer says.

Velvet stays motionless for a moment, thinking, before her eyes widen, "Wait, do you mean…"

…

Meanwhile, in a forest somewhere on the continent of Anima, two members of Team JNPR, Ren and Nora, walk through the forest, both wearing new outfits. Nora's new outfit still has her old gloves, but she now wears a white top similar to her old one, though the heart cut-out on top has a diagonal cut through it. She is wearing a shorter, detached white sleeve on her left arm. Over her shirt is a zippered blue-black bomber jacket with a damaged print of her emblem on the back and pink stripes along the sleeves. The pink bands of the jacket tighten on her upper arms. Her pink skirt is slightly longer with pleats that create some flair and two wide belt loops at the waist for her matching belt. She is also wearing knee-high pink socks just visible above calf-length boots, which are white with pink laces. She has her weapon, Magnihild, resting on her back, ready to go. Meanwhile, Ren is wearing his hair down, which has grown, and is almost waist-length. He is wearing a longer green sleeveless tailcoat, and a black, sleeveless turtleneck with red, tasseled ropes over the hips under it. He is also wearing white pants that get tighter below the knees, and calf-length open-toed sandals. From his middle finger to his biceps run gradient pink-to-black detached sleeves in metal arm bands. On his hips are his twin pistols, StormFlower, in their non-combat forms, rather than in his old sleeves.

"I'm just saying, there's more members of Team JNPR in this team than RWBY. It just makes to go with THAT one," Nora says to Ren.

"But JNRR (Junior) isn't a color," Ren replies, scratching his head.

Nora groans and rests her head in her hands, "Ugh. How can I be more clear?!" she says and then raises her right hand as 'JNRR' appears above it in white lettering. "One, two, three. That's MORE than one," she says as she counts up each letter.

"But we're helping Ruby with her objective," Ren counters, raising his right hand as 'RNJR' (Ranger) appears above it in white letters. "Wouldn't that make HER the leader?" Ren asks, pointing at the first 'R'.

Behind Ren, Jaune who is kneeling behind a fallen tree log, in his same attire, looks back to them, "Guys…We need to focus," he says as he looks forward. "…Also JNRR is way cooler," he says, much to the joy of Nora.

"EXACTLY!" Nora screams in joy, hands on her hips.

Ren raises his arms and sighs in defeat, until they suddenly feel the ground shake around them as they try to keep their balance. Jaune looks at some pebbles on the ground as the shaking continues, followed by loud sounds coming up ahead of him as he turns back to the sounds.

"…It's here," he says.

From atop a cliff, Ruby Rose flies through rose petals in the air. Her attire has changed much over time. She is wearing a white high-neck décolletage blouse. She still has on her old black and red skirt, but her waist cincher has been replaced with an overbust corset. A black belt bordered in red holds the magnetic clip for Crescent Rose and its ammunition. She is also wearing brown straps on her blouse, allowing her to wear a small backpack. Instead of full black stockings, Ruby now wears thigh-high black stockings reaching to a few inches below the hem of her skirt, decorated by an image of a long-stemmed rose. Her red sole black boots contain four straps and buckles apiece. Her signature cloak has a singular clip on the right shoulder in the shape of her rose emblem, replacing the cross-shaped clips she used to wear. Both the cloak and the stockings show some tears from previous battles. Her hair has grown slightly longer, with the same color gradation from black at the roots to red at the tips.

Currently, Ruby flies through the air while firing off four shots from her weapon's rifle mode. Suddenly, trees begin to fall and move as a giant beast made up of random boulders breaks through the tree line, with the white, single-eyed, face of a Geist in the center, a ghost-type Grimm that can manipulate its surroundings into a body for itself. The Geist falls off the cliff as it swings at Ruby, and they both fall into the trees below the cliff.

"Bad! Landing! Strategy!" Ruby shouts as she falls on two tree branches before stopping at a third.

Ruby then quickly shoots out from the tree as the Geist Grimm, with its stone arms, smashes the tree and others around it in an attempt to crush her. The Grimm takes out some more trees, just barely missing Jaune, Ren, and Nora. Ruby lands on the ground on the Geist's right side, and it turns to face her again.

"Let's get that thing off them!" Jaune says and starts running around the Geist Grimm to get its attention.

Ren jumps in between two trees twice before landing on one high tree branch to get a better view.

"Don't forget me!" Nora says, and fires her weapon in its grenade launcher form, making it spew out pink smoke as it propels her up and onto the same branch as Ren.

"We need to draw its attention away from Ruby," Ren says.

"Could use some help!" Ruby shouts as she flies right by them and hits the Grimm with her scythe before firing off a shot at it while propelling her away from it.

A second later, Ren jumps higher into the tree while Nora fires off three grenades that hit the Grimm in its back, but do little damage. Ren jumps between several trees, firing off his auto-pistols at the Grimm. The Geist tries to kill him by swinging his arms around, but only manages to destroy the trees that Ren was previously in. Ren lands on one tree and then jumps into the air as it gets smashed, flipping his body around as he lands on the Grimm's arm. He runs up the Grimm's arm and then jumps high into the air. He spins his body and the blades on his auto-pistols around as he falls towards the Grimm. The Geist uses its arm to block its face, forcing Ren to attack the main body, but only scratching the surface as he jumps off.

"We gotta get in closer!" Jaune yells.

Ren lands next to his right, "My blades don't hurt him!" he says.

The group gets ready for the Geist to attack again, but then suddenly a wall of flames appears between them and the Geist, forcing it back.

"What's going on now?!" Jaune yells.

"Yahoo!" they hear a female voice behind them and turn around to see a girl flying in above them on a…a large sheet of decorative paper? "Let's get this party started!" she yells.

The girl has long, platinum-blond hair and light skin. Her clothing is an eclectic mix of pink and blue, with hints of lavender, and resembles that of a court jester. Her skirt consists of books, each with a designated purpose. The group were confused by her attire, and even more confused by how she was flying in the air on a big card. The woman suddenly pulls out three more cards and throws them at the Geist, exploding on impact when they hit its body. The girl then pulls out a fourth card and suddenly it gets longer and bigger, which she uses to swing at its legs, knocking it off balance and causing it to fall to the ground. The girl then lands in front of the group.

"Well, looks like I got here just in time. Then again, the lead actress always shows up late to make a grand entrance," the girl says as she turns to them.

"Wait, who are you?" Ruby asks.

"Ah, I'm so glad you asked. Now listen closely, you are in the presence of a mighty sorceress. That's right, I am Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou. Also known as Magilou for short. Make sure you don't forget it!" the girl cheers as she spins around on her heels and waves her arms dramatically.

"You're…who now?" Jaune asks, not understanding a single word of that.

Magilou sighs, "Oh, woe is me for finding people that can't understand my magnificence," she says dramatically. "Just call me Magilou," she says.

"Magilou…why does that sound familiar?" Ruby wonders, but then the Geist gets back on its feet. "We'll talk about that later. Right now, we need to kill that Geist.

Magilou turns to the Grimm, "Ah, so this is a Grimm. I must admit, they don't appear to be that different from the demons back in my world. Luckily, Summer Rose helped me understand how this world works. Velvet certainly found herself in quite an interesting world," she thinks, and then pulls out another card that floats above her right index finger. "Sure thing, I'll help out. From what I can tell, that thing can use the environment as a weapon in a way, so we'll need to take out its arms in order to go for the head. That'll probably be the best way to kill it."

"Okay, um…" Jaune trails off as he thinks, but then comes up with an idea," Okay, here's the plan. Ruby, right, Ren, left. Um…whoever you are, just…keep it busy in the sky. Nora…ready to try out the new upgrade?" he asks.

"Oh yeah!" Nora cheers.

The Geist raises its right arm and swings it down on them, forcing them to all jump back. Magilou jumps onto another card and flies up into the air. She conjures up a flame orb arte and fires it at the Geist' face, but it uses its left arm to block the attack. Ren then flies in from its left flank and lands on the arm to fire off his pistols for a moment before he jumps off. Meanwhile, Ruby circles around through the trees, firing off her sniper-scythe a few times before the Geist takes a swing at her, destroying a few trees. On the ground, Nora stands off to the side, charging up her hammer, while Jaune remains nearby. Magilou flies around, dodging its flailing arms before she takes her card board and swings it at its face, staggering it, before she retreats from a swing of its right arm. Magilou then looks back to Jaune and Nora.

"You guys ready yet?" she calls out.

Jaune looks to Nora, who nods, and then looks to Magilou, "We're ready! Ruby!" he calls out. Ruby moves and lands next to Nora. "Give it everything you've got! You, I need you to distract him!" Jaune says, the last one to Magilou.

"Hmph. Making a fair maiden like myself do the hard work. He's almost like Velvet in that regard," Magilou mutters before going in.

She activates an arte, and sends up a wall of water from under the Geist' feet, that distracts it, followed by a fire tornado that forces it onto one knee. Ruby then makes her moves by using her semblance to take her and Nora into a twister of red and pink, spiraling towards the Grimm. The Grimm tries to protect itself, but they blast through its arms, and then Nora smashes her hammer down on it, taking out the body. The body falls to the ground, and the Geist flies out of the rocks, attempting to flee. However, Magilou sends out three cards that fly at it and explode, killing the Grimm. Magilou lands in front of the others.

"Well that was fun," she notes.

"Well, that's a job well done. Let's head back to the village and tell the mayor that the Geist is gone. Thank you, uh…" Ruby trails off.

"My name is Magilou," Magilou says.

"Are you a huntress? I've never seen a huntress with skills like you before," Ren asks.

"Wrong, I am a witch, for whom the universe is a plaything, and the souls of men are motes," Magilou corrects him.

When she hears that, it finally hits Ruby, "Oh, I remember you now. Weren't you one of Velvet's friends?" she asks, surprised.

"Wait, this girl knows Velvet?" Nora asks.

Magilou then gets really close to Ruby, "Oh, so she told you about me, hmm? Nothing bad I'm sure. And you must be Ruby Rose. So you're the one that managed to capture our resident moody girl's heart. It's nice to meet you," she says. "Welp, I found my goal. Here's to hoping the others are just as lucky with theirs."

…

"So, my friends are in Remnant now," Velvet says.

"For the time being, yes. But right now, we need to focus on you. For now, I will help you learn how to use the Maiden's power. This will help you in the future," Summer says.

Velvet wants to get back to Ruby, but if she doesn't learn how to control this power, that may put her in danger.

Velvet sighs, "Fine…But this better not take too long. I must get back to Ruby as soon as possible," she says.

Summer nods her head, "It shouldn't take too long. Now come…let us begin…"

And that's the chapter. Yes, as I'm sure you've all figured it out, Velvet's group (minus Laphicet), is now in Remnant. Magilou is with Ruby, and the others will be with the rest of Team RVWBY. How will Ruby deal with Magilou? What about the rest of Velvet's group? Until then, please Read and Review.
