AN: Hey everyone, I have the next chapter here. Thank you for all the support this series has gotten here and on Tv Tropes.

This one has been a long time coming with a lot of cool moments. With it, we also get an ending I really liked including here. Hope you enjoy this chapter, leave a review with your comments and questions, and have a nice day.

Chapter 38 – Whiteout

Weiss.

On one of the crossroads to the dock, a faunus officer guided civilians away from the shoreline, "Everybody, remain calm in the evacuation." He said feeling a slight tremor, "Uh, it will all be okay, we just need to-" He said before another tremor happened, this one causing a line of sweat to run down his face. The faunus officer looked to the sea, watching a monster unlike anything he had ever seen jump out onto land.

"▂▃▃▂▂!" Megalos roared, his voice creating a shockwave the ran through the island.

"AAAAHHH!" The faunus officer screamed as he ran, the civilians soon following.

Megalos was steaming through his teeth as he raised the bloody golden ax. He aimed for the crowd but was then bombarded by a barrage of icicles. While none damaged his skin, they did cause him to look up and the attacker.

Diving down with multiple white glyphs behind her, Weiss unleashed barrage after barrage of icicle at her target, "DIE MONSTER DIE!" She screamed before creating another large glyph, unleashing a massive ice sword at Megalos. However, the Fallen Great Hero bashed his ax against the blade, shattering the ice as Weiss landed on the ground, "You Bastard!" The white heiress called as Megalos scowled at her, "You killed my sister!" Weiss said before reposing with her gun-blades, "Now, I'll finish what she started!"

"▂▂▃▃▅▅!" Megalos screamed before rushing towards the white heiress. Weiss dodged his overhead swing, using black glyphs platforms to glare at the monster at eye level. With an x-shaped slash, she went for the eyes. The Fallen Great Hero pulled his head back, remembering this tactic from before. However, at the intersection of the cross, Weiss pulled the triggers as shots fired into Megalos' eyes, "■■■■!"

Weiss then repose her gun-blades before they glowed in a white light, encasing them in ice. She then slashed into the Fallen Great Hero's chest but could not leave even a scratch. The White Heiress gasped as Megalos' head came out of the smoke, his teeth open to bite her head off. Weiss jumped back to another black glyph to avoid. However, she gasped the ax was now coming at her from the left. She spawned a white glyph, creating an ice barrier, but it easily shattered upon collision. The white heiress' body was flung towards the docks, breaking some of the wooden panels with her back. Before she could fully get up, Megalos leaped into the air, the ax raised high over his head. Weiss rolled of the way as the ax crashed into the rest of the dock. She spawned a black glyph to prevent her from landing in the water. The white heiress then rapidly fired into the side of Megalos face, but none of the rounds had any effect. The Fallen Great Hero went for a vertical slash, but Weiss skated back a few meters with the glyph on the water.

"This thing is strong but slow." Weiss thought as quickly reloaded, glancing at the sea, "I can't freeze the saltwater, but I can use it to keep my distance from his swing. Once I find his weakness, I can win." She then reposed her weapons as Megalos raised his ax over his head, "No matter what, I will not lose!"

"▃▃▅▅▃▃!" Megalos roared before swinging down at the water, splitting the sea like a fissure. Weiss was pushed by the shockwave but remained on her feet thanks to the glyph. However, that had left her nowhere else to go. Megalos dashed off the dock at sonic speed. Before Weiss could even finish her gasp, he grabbed her enter upper torso with his right hand. Using her body as ram, the Fallen Great Heroes crashed into a large wooden ship. The hit reduced the boat to splinters while breaking the dock it was attached to.

A silence fell over the island until Megalos walked out of the water. Still in his grasped, Weiss coughed saltwater and blood, her coat partially shredded with shards of wood. Suddenly, Megalos raised his right arm before spiking the white heiress. A crater formed in cobblestone road with Weiss motionless in the center. Her eyes were half-open as blood pooled around her waist. Megalos looked down her motionless body before turning away, walking down the roads leading towards the evacuated faunus.

However, a green light radiated behind him. Soon after, Megalos felt a volley of shots in the back of his head. The Fallen Great Hero gritted his teeth while turning around, seeing the white heiress pushed up to her left knee. In her left hand, Weiss held the recently fired gun-blade. In her right, she held her side as the wound was hurried healed closed, "Got back here." Weiss said before picked her other weapon, "This won't end until your dead!"

"▂▂▃▃▅!" Megalos roared as he raised his ax.

Weiss reposed as she waited for his charge. However, a red light loomed over the area. The white heiress had a look of confusion as she searched around. Then heard a chant, "Show your corpse to the Three Thousand Worlds," Weiss looked up to see Nobu hovering with hundreds of the rifles swarming around her, her body radiating a burning aura, "Demon Descent!" The Grimm Archer said before pointing her sword at Megalos, "Behold, the Demon King's Three Line Formation!" Nobu declared, unleashing the red laser rifles onto the Fallen Great Hero.

Weiss gasped before shielded her eyes from the light. Megalos tried to roar, but his body was riddled with blasts. He started to push back against the volley but was then engulfed by one massive beam. Megalos body was ripped apart while the barrage continued for a few more seconds.

After the gunshots settled, Weiss looked up at Nobu hoovering down, "Sup Ice Queen." The Grimm Archer said with smirked, "Backup is here." Weiss and Nobu then turned to see the smoking rubble and road, "Well, that should have killed it at least a couple of times."

"What?" Weiss asked before seeing Musashi skinning on two of Nobu's floating rifles.

"Weiss, Megalos has twelve lives." Musashi commended as she landed next to the two, "Even if it dies, he will regenerate until it has used up all its lives."

Weiss gasped, but then gritted her teeth, "Winter sacrificed herself, and that thing just came back to life like she did nothing!?" Weiss realized as the rubble started moving, then turned back to the others, focusing on the Grimm Archer, "How did your weapons do so much damage? Nothing I did could even scratch him."

"Tenka Fuba A," Nobu responded with her skill, "If it's got divine attributes, I do more damage to them." She said before seeing Megalos' reforming left arm erupted from the stone, "I can't hit it with my Noble Phantasm again, it used up most of my strongest guns." She said before spawning a few rifles, "So, we have to make our shots count." She said with Weiss nodding, holstering her gun-blades.

Musashi then picked up her rifles, passing them to the white heiress. "I'll leave the shooting to you and Nobu." She said as Megalos fully emerged, glaring at the three, but recognized the swordswoman, "I can draw his attention long enough for you to find an opening." Musashi said with glaring back at the Fallen Great Hero, "Okay, round two!" She declared before charging the monster while Weiss and Nobu aimed their rifles.

"▃▃▅▅▃▃!" Megalos roared as he charged as well, going for a horizontal swing from his ax. Musashi dodged the swipe as she slid through the gap in his legs, getting behind him. Fallen Great Hero then lifted his left leg to stomp on the swordswomen, but she rolled out of the way. Musashi then jumped back to avoid a second ax attack, landing on her feet as Megalos flared his fangs.

With Its back turned to them, Weiss and Nobu opened fire on the Fallen Great Heroes head. However, Megalos quickly turned around, blocking the shots with his ax. He then dashed towards them with his weapon towing the roads with his blade. The two jumped back to avoid the uppercut slash, but were pelted with a barrage of jagged rocks, "This thing's getting smarter." Weiss called out as she and Nobu landed on a black glyph platform, "We need a new plan to make sure it cannot see the shot coming."

"I think I got an idea," Nobu responded with a smirk, "One that doesn't involve you shooting through me." She said with Weiss listening.

Megalos was about to charge at them again but then heard a whistle. He turned to see Musashi grinning her extended right arm towards the Fallen Great Hero, fingers coiled inward, "Come on," She dared before adjusting her stance, "Just try and hit me."

"▃▃▅▅!" Megalos roared before dashing at high speed, unleashing a barrage of slashes at the swordswoman. However, none landed as she evaded each one.

"Heh, like I said, each one is predictable when you are frustrated." Musashi thought while evading a downwards swing, leading to the ax getting embedded in the ground. "You will never hit me-" The swordswomen was saying, but Megalos pivoted in a way she was not expecting. With the full weight of his body, he kicked Musashi in the abdomen. The swordswoman coughed blood before her body was rocketed across the townscape. She crashed through two wooden houses before colliding with a thick tree. Her body slid down the bark as blood drip from her forehead.

Megalos readied to finish the job but stopped as multiple black glyphs surrounded his perimeter. He then glanced back to Weiss and Nobu, both of whom had just fired from the rifles. However, the shots were not aimed at the Fallen Great Hero, but the black glyphs. The lasers ricochet from one glyph to the next, not losing energy, rather gaining more with each transfer. Megalos tried to predict the lasers, but as he followed one, another collided with his body, "■■!" Megalos roared in rage before slashing the black glyphs, shattering them.

However, this caused Megalos to take his eyes of the shooters. Weiss and Nobu hovered above the Fallen Great Hero before firing into the top of his skull. The lasers entered his brain, but he was already starting to heal. Suddenly, both girls tossed away their empty rifles, pulling out their swords, "How do you like this!?" They shouted at the same time before embedding their blades into Its skull. Megalos' eyes widened, but they did not fade out. In response, Weiss pulled the trigger on her gun-blades, shooting the rounds into his brain. Megalos body went limp as his eyes faded out. He topped onto his back after the two jumped off him.

Weiss and Nobu where slightly gasping for breath, but saw the wounds starting to heal. Weiss gritted her teeth as Nobu spoke, "I don't even know what counts as kill with this thing anymore. He just doesn't want to stay dead?"

"We need something stronger," Weiss said before having an idea, "Hey, you still remember your way to summon from last year?" She said with Nobu gasping, then grinning at the white heiress' request.

Just as Megalos had come back to life, a cold wind blew over the dockyards. Weiss and Nobu radiated a white and red aura, respectively. Suddenly, the two auras' mixed as a white glyph formed a platform, which then spawned a red mist. The platform with the two girls lifted them as the mist solidified, it formed the crimson skeleton. Soon after, a cold white fog encased the Skeletal summon, encasing it in an ice armor. The Fallen Great Hero looked up as the Crimson Skull Knight glared down at him, a red aura radiated from the helm, "Now, you're screwed." Nobu said as Weiss focused, spawning a massive ice claymore in summon's left hand.

"▂▂▃▃▅▅!" Megalos roared before the Crimson Skull Knight swung the ice blade vertically. He blocked with his ax, but his legs sunk halfway into the ground. His Megalos movement slowed, the Crimson Skull Knight went for a horizontal swing. Again, Megalos blocked the strike, but his body was flung across the other side of the dock. The Crimson Skull Knight aimed his right palm at the Fallen Great Hero. As energy gathered, a blizzard of jagged ice and fireball shot out. The combinations of fire and ice scolded the monster, cooling him down before heating him again.

"We keep heat-treating him like this, and he'll only get weaker." Weiss commented as she caused the Crimson Skull Knight to pursue, "Beating him off with a summon, as Winter could have."

"Yeah," Nobu agreed, "Let's finish this bastard together." She said with a smile, one ever forming on the white heiress face. However, as Megalos emerged, there smile faded as his eyes shined red.

Meanwhile, Musashi was starting to regain consciousness as she heard a voice, "Hey, Sword Lady, wake up!" The voice said as she started to open her eyes. In turning to the speaker, Musashi discovered it was Burg, "Good, you're not dead."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Musashi responded as she pushed herself up, "It's not safe here."

"Yeah, I guessed that with all the lasers and destruction." Burg responded while taking something out from behind his back, "So, before I hightail it to the safe zone, I thought you could use this." He said before showing Musashi her reformed weapon. while part of it was a half of a broken katana, the other was a blade the length of her body. The two blades were connected by a golden accessory, "I call this one, Ganryujima."

Musashi was still in awe of the blade. As she grabbed the handle, her body pulsates with the power of the elements which then concentrated in orbs behind her. She then smiled as Burg, "Thanks!" She said with the raccoon faunus smirking, "Now, get somewhere safe." The swordswoman said before turning back to reenter the battle, "I've got a score to settle."

Meanwhile, The Crimson Skull Knight failed to land a single slash on the Fallen Great Hero. "I don't get it," Nobu said in rage as Megalos dodged every swing, "Why is he so much harder to hit now." Nobu said before the Crimson Skull Knight unleashed a blast of fire and ice, but the attack failed to hit, "Come on!"

"Focus, we need to concentrate." Weiss said before seeing Megalos eyes glow redder, "We can still beat him with our combined noble-"

"▂▂▃▃▅▅-," Megalos declared before his body erupted with red electricity. The shockwave enveloped the Crimson Skull Knight, paralyzing him as Weiss and Nobu almost lost their footing. Suddenly, Megalos roared again, "■■■■!" the Fallen Great Hero dashed forwards with a barrage of sashes. He carved through the ice armor and shattered the crimson bones. Weiss and Nobu gasped as their summon was being ripped apart, chunk by chunk. After what seemed like almost a hundred slashes, Megalos leaped into the air, ascending higher than his targets. He raised his ax over his head, now gripping it with both hands. Nobu and Weiss gasped in dread as the ax blade came down between them, smashing the helm and skull of the summon. With its form unstable, Crimson Skull Knight exploded. Weiss and Nobu were rocketed off there summon before smashing into the cobblestone ground.

Megalos landed on his feet before dashing through the smoke. Before Nobu could fully get up, she saw the Fallen Great Hero rush her. The Grimm Archer tried to dodge, but her body shuttered from the recoil of the summon, "Nobu!" Weiss said before she pushed her friend out of the way. Nobu gasped before her body fell into the water. Weiss then turn the Megalos getting closer. She tried to jump out of the way with the help of the glyph platform.

However, Megalos reached out his right hand. Like before, he had caught the white heiress in his grasp. Unlike before, he had grabbed the end of her ponytail. Weiss gasped, then screamed as she felt like her head was about to be ripped off. The Fallen Great Hero had whipped Weiss' body over his own, slamming her into the ground. She bounced on the jagged stones before being raised up and smashed onto another section. Megalos crashed her body into the edge of a nearby house, but still did not let go, "!" He roared as he continued this assault, increasing the speed of his swing after every hit.

After a seeming unending barrage, Weiss's coat was more red than white. Her arms and legs were near fully broken, only slightly twitching. Her face was drenched in blood as air barely left her mouth. While her eyes were barely open, she saw Megalos ready for a horizontal slash. As the blade was coming for her neck, she knew she had no way to dodge or block. That this was the end for her.

Suddenly, a volley of gunshots hit Megalos' left knee, forcing him to bend as he missed his target. Rather than her neck, the ax slashed halfway into Weiss's ponytail. Freed from his grip, the white heiress body feel to the ground, her eyes closing on contact. Megalos gritted his teeth before letting go of the locks of white hair. He turned to see a still soaking Nobu wielding her crude gatling gun, "Not going to let you hold that sacrifice over my head." Nobu smirked while glancing over to Weiss, "Take a good rest, I got this." She said before looking back to Megalos, unloading her bullets into the Fallen Great Hero.

"▅■■■!" Megalos roared before running towards Nobu, the fiery rounds bouncing off his body. Megalos swung off his ax, forcing Nobu to jump to the left to get out of the way. As she racked her brain for a new strategy, the Fallen Great Hero was blasted into the water by a wave of energy. Nobu had a look of confusion before the energy formed into a massive arm with a golden sword. As that faded, she looked to the source of the attack, seeing the swordswoman reentering the fight.

Musashi jumped, and as energy formed at the souls of her feet, she stood on the water's surface. As bubbles formed on the water surface, the swordswoman raised her blade. The orbs of light gathered in the steel before forming a pillar. With both hands, she separated the light into two weapons. In her left, she held the massive blade in reverse, her fingers unaffected by the sharp steel. The broken sword with her right hand, but the saber had reformed with a pink light. While slashing the water, she chanted, "With the pressure of my sword I sever the sea!" She said as the water erupted around her, "A funerary curtain as a scaffold, see the great monk!" from the bubbles, Megalos leaped from the water, already in mid-swing on the ax. However, the swordswoman repose as she pushed with a purplish aura, "Now, know of the Demon Sword Buster!" Musashi declared as she instantly dashed through Megalos' body, craving an X as she split him into four chucks. The slash severed the water as waves, but Musashi still glided on the surface. After the pieces of the Great Fallen Hero fell in the water, a silence fell over the area. Musashi then looked back to Nobu, a large smile on her face.

"Nice," Nobu said as she clapped, "New weapon, new Noble Phantasm." She said as Musashi walked over, returning to land, "When did you come up with it?"

"About two minutes ago," Musashi said with a smirk. However, it soon faded as she looked over to Weiss, "Should have gotten back soon, she looks pretty banged up."

"We have to get her back to the airship-" Nobu was saying until interrupted.

"▅▅!" The two heard the roar a Megalos jumped out of the water. Once he landed, his body's red aura evaporated the water. The scars on his body from the X-shaped slash started to heal over before he glared at Musashi.

"Are you kidding me!?" Musashi responded, reposing her massive sword, "I put everything I had into the last attack."

"He must be on his last life." Nobu said as she aimed her gatling gun, "He has to be."

"▃▃▅▅▃▃!" Megalos roared as he charged in again.

As some time had passed, Weiss started to regain consciousness. While her vision was blurry, she started to hear the shots and slashes of the battle still going on. As her gaze started to clear, she saw a tired Musashi dodging the wild swings of Megalos. The Fallen Great Hero grinded the blade of his weapon against the ground, creating a wave of red energy the collided with the swordswoman. Musashi was launched into a building that collapsed on her, pinning her back with a few support beams.

Megalos went to finish her with one more swing but was shot in the side of his head. In turning, it was Nobu. However, the Grimm Archer had a look of worry on her face, "Damnit," Nobu commented as she knew why her attacks were not working as well, "Did my skill ware off?" She said before avoiding a swing of the ax. In a last-minute plan, she rammed the end of the gatling gun into Megalos' chest, unloading her shots at the closest possible range. However, they still had little effect on the Fallen Great Hero.

Megalos grasped the gatling gun and flung it and Nobu over his body. The Grimm Archer landed on her stomach, while her weapon was a few meters away from her. Still, Nobu first noticed Weiss' body close by. The white heiress was barely breathing as blood still leaked from her skull, "Hey, Ice Queen, come on." Nobu said as she crawled toward Weiss, whose eyes were still only half open, "Don't die on me now." She then had a soft smile as she reached out for her friend's right hand.

However, the moment before she could match contact, Megalos stomped on Nobu's legs, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Grimm Archer screamed as she felt her femur bones shatters. Her armored boots acted like a vice, crushing her legs with blood gushing out the cracks. Nobu's body fell limp as she passed out from the pain, her hand never reaching the white heiress' fingers.

"Nobu…" Weiss said as she extended her hand, grasping the Grimm Archer's as tears form in her eyes. However, Weiss looked up to see Megalos raise his ax again. Her eyes filled with rage as she spawned a white glyph, creating a pillar of ice. The attack did not damage Megalos, but did push the Fallen Great Hero a few meters away, "You bastard!" Weiss said while creating a green glyph to somewhat heal her wounds. She forced herself up to one knee, "All you do is swing that ax, destroying whatever is in your path." She said before standing up with a slight wobble, "You're nothing, just a mindless beast. But, if you have any sanity left, remember this," Weiss said as she drew both her gun-blades, "My name is Weiss Schnee, a proud member of the Schnee family." She declared as she tighter her grip on the swords, "And because of that, I WILL NOT FALL HERE!"

At that moment, Megalos mind flashes to the image of the other fighter who made a similar proclamation, causing him to grit his teeth, "!" He roared before rushing towards the white heiress.

Weiss responded in kind as she reeled back her swords. Musashi was still pinned, she could only watch in panic, knowing what the result of this clash would be. In the back of her mind, Weiss knew it as well. As she saw the ax coming for her head, she knew her swords and glyphs would not be able to protect her. However, she still faced her fate head-on. In the back of her mind, she knew that somehow, this would not be her end.

Suddenly, between the two fighters, a red vertex appeared. Weiss had a look of confusion as a familiar right fist emerged out of the portal, one that collided with Megalos face. The Fallen Great Hero was slightly stunned but started to push back. However, as more of the right arm emerged, a blue and golden gauntlet started to form, "Celicavalon!" The voice from the other side of the portal declared as the punch radiated yellow light. With the added power, a blast of yellow energy knocked Megalos across the dock, skidding on his back before crashing into a wall of a house. Weiss had gasped as she knew the voice, seeing the rest of her blond brawler teammate jump out of the portal, who turned back to her with a smile, "Hey Weiss."

Yang.

"Yang!?" Weiss said in disbelief before seeing the King of Heroes emerge from the portal as well, "Gilgamesh!?"

"It's been a while." Gilgamesh said with a smirk, "Queen of White."

"H-How!?" Weiss asked in disbelief.

"Well, my Mom's semblance is portals that can go anywhere, it can make fast travel pretty easy." Yang responded, "Normally, for places she hasn't been, she needs a catalyst to get there. Or, she can go to anyone she had has bonded with." She said before hugging the white heiress, "and that rule applies to who her daughter has bonded with as well." The blond brawler said with Weiss's eyes widening, tears forming as she hugged Yang back, "We're a team. No matter how far away we are from one another, that's always true."

Gilgamesh smiled at the sight before hearing a growl. In turning, he saw Megalos getting up, his eyes red with rage. "Hm, I will not let you spoil such a good moment." Gilgamesh said as he walked towards the Fallen Great Hero, "It is time for your judgment," He said before rolling up his right sleeve, revealing his golden metal arm glowing with a red aura, "My Sword may have been destroyed, but the shards still hold power in this arm." He said as the aura pulsated, the clouds darkened as the water rippled. "While it may not rip apart this world, a mere mongrel like you shall be reduced to atoms."

"▂▂▂▂▃▃▃▃▅▅!" Megalos roared as he charged Gilgamesh, who reeled back his right arm.

"Take this, the flames of Rupture," The King of Heroes declared before thrusting his open palm towards Megalos, "Ember Elish!" From his arm, the red aura expanding into an overwhelming beam. The beam enveloped Megalos' body, ripping his flesh and bones from his body and turning them into dust. His ax began to crack before shattering into chunks. The beam continued to carry through docks of Menagerie, erasing everything in its path.

Yang shield Weiss from the shockwave of the blast. After a minute more of torment, the beam started to shrink in size. After fully dissipating, Gilgamesh lowered his right hand, putting it in his pocket. He then turned back to the two girls with a smirk, "A little overkill, don't you think?" Yang responded with Gilgamesh grinning.

However, the two heard a weak roar, "…▂▂▃▃▅…▂▂▃…" They looked over to see Megalos mangled body a few meters away. Rather, it was what was left of his body. There were no arms or legs to be found, only his upper chest with exposed ribs and organs. The Fallen Great head remained, but only the left side with his fading red eye. "…▂▃…"

"What, how is that thing still alive?" Yang said before the white heiress started walking, "Weiss?" She said but was met with silence. As Weiss passed Gilgamesh, neither said a word, but he did look down at her tight grasp on her gun-blades. The blond brawler then noticed the still pined Musashi, helper her lift away the support beams.

"Weiss," Musashi called out, "Listen, I know your anger-"

"Don't," Weiss responded, not breaking her stride, "I am not letting this thing come back to kill another person." She said while looking at her weapon in her left hand, "This ends now."

"I understand, but you should know this," Musashi started as Yang helped her up, "Megalos was once Heracles."

"Pardon?" Gilgamesh responded as Weiss stopped, "That mongrel was the Immortal Great Hero?"

"Look, …do what you have to," Musashi stated, "But please, remember what we talked about before."

After a few seconds of silence, Weiss resumed her walk towards the remains of the Fallen Great Hero. She looked down on him, the red eye glancing back up at the white heiress, "It's because of you, my sister is dead." Weiss coldly stated, "Not matter what you were, I will never forgive you for taking Winter from me…but," She said before raising he gun-blade in her left hand, looking directly into the monster's red eye, "If you were changed into this beast, you have been robbed of your life… I will avenge you as well, Heracles." Her blue eyes showing sorrow before lowering her blade, stabbing the monster in the center of the forehead. Its weak form recoiled in pain, and as a single gunshot was fired, Its last life ended. As Megalos' red eye faded, so too did the rest of his body, turning into a cloud of dust the was carried into the wind.

Weiss looked down at where the body once was for a few more seconds, her eyes still filled with remorse. However, she wiped her tears before looking to her friends. Gilgamesh gave her a slight nod, while Musashi had a soft smile, "Weiss, you gave him some meaning in the end." The swordswoman said as Weiss slowly smiled back, "Thank you."

Suddenly, the group looked up to see a teal beam erupt from the top of the airship, "Their battle may still be going on." Weiss commented, then looking back to her group, "We need to back them up." She said with all of them nodded. The white heiress and the others walked over to the still unconscious Nobu, "But first, we need to take her to the infirmary on the airship." She said before creating a large black glyph platform for everyone, which then ascended into the sky. Weiss fell to one knee, focusing on maintaining this platform with the last of bits of her strength. Suddenly, she felt a right hand on her shoulder, turning to see it was Yang, who smiled at her teammate. Weiss smiled back, happy to see her friend again soon than expected.

AN: There you go, It has been defeated. After many noble phantasms, all twelve lives have been used up. Nobu finally got to use her lasers rifles and gatling gun but took a critical hit near end. Musashi has her new sword and new moves to go with it, but that wasn't enough. Even though Weiss was able to put their foe to rest, it wasn't without the help of Yang and Gilgamesh, who got to show is new version of the Sword of Rupture. After all these chapters apart, we finally of two of the core team back together. Now, while most may have survived this battle, there will still be tension on the return to the airship. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
