Author's Notes: Bam! I'm back bitches, with a new style, new attitude and plenty of fucking curses because I am pissed! Did you see that Vol. 3 finale, they done do it now!

THEY PUT ME ON FUCKING BLAST

A few days later….

*Sigh*

Okay so I had some time to think and I had this epic speech I made and posted on my other story and I could very well put it up here but I think we've all simmered down from the overall shock of it and that speech was made for people who were still angry at the show for dropping the bombshell that was Pyrrha Nikos' death.

Uh, spoiler alert?

Well I'm sure everyone has seen it by now, if not at least heard about it so yeah and if you didn't then its confirmed. Now I could go into depth about how I feel and of course make another awesome speech but I'm over her death and honestly why shouldn't I be at this point. To tell the truth I didn't really watch half of the episodes for that volume, more like I read the overall summary and saw the fight scenes.

Speaking of fights who here thinks that Mercury had the best fights this season? Because honestly my respect for his character grew by a mile after I saw him beat down Coco and Yatsuhashi to that awesome soundtrack. Cinder's fight with Ozpin was a complete letdown, actually I wouldn't actually call it a fight scene so much as it was a trailer or teaser. Mercury Black for Vol. 3 MVP people.

Now then I want to address a problem I've seen when going to the poll results on my profile. Now whether you're aware or not I've posted and kept the profile of who you would want to see paired with Vergil and at first I've seen Cinder was in the lead and why not since she's already met Vergil.

And we all read how that turned out

After the vol. 3 finale though, Winter is now in lead with 3 times as much votes and growing by the minute...despite not even being mentioned in the story thus far.

Now I'd like to say that you guys prefer Winter because she's a better character but seriously, we know even less about her than we do Cinder and it kind of rubs me the wrong way when you guys let what happens in cannon dictates what you do when you go on FANFICTION!

Come on people! What's the reason why we come here in the first place!?

It's to enjoy a good story of what ifs! So what if Cinder is a heartless, scheming bitch in canon who kills one of RWBY's greatest characters thus detroying the one and only pairing we actually wanted to see happen!? Honestly I could give crap because at the end of the day I went on Fanfiction and read a story where she and Pyrrha cuddled next to Jaune in bed because Ozpin is obsessed with shipping. (For those of you interested it's called Wizard of Ships. Short and funny story I recommend for anyone who enjoys absurd humor).

I mean seriously I could write Vergil in a three way relationship with those women (and trust me I've thought about it...a lot) and I could still make this story work. In fact I might just pair him with Cinder anyway just to get a rise out of you but I digress.

So in conclusion FUCK CANON, this is fanfiction and I could write whatever I want here and you could either enjoy it or move on to a next story. Now that it is out of the way I don't want to hear about the Vol. 3 finale or have a debate with anyone about how Rooster Teeth fucked our perception of how you see the show now because in the end it doesn't really matter, it's as important as you want it to be and to me it isn't so watch those words in your reviews.

Now that I've given an answer to what some of you might be thinking without further ado I give you…

Chapter 7: A Long Night

"Shit, stuck in Limbo!"Dante cursed "should've seen that coming" he muttered with an annoyed expression.

He really should've seen it coming, these were demons for Christ sake but he'd thought that since they didn't get dragged in Limbo from the start then the demons of Remnant couldn't. Thanks to his naivety he was stuck in there, he wasn't worried about himself but his companions. Limbo was a space that had a mind of its own and operates through the will of whatever demon who created it.

Long story short if a demon drags you in there to kill you then the space would operate to that goal. The result is an almost unpredictable shift in the space which would work to kill him, even Dante won't screw around in a place like this despite his attitude. Then there's the hellgate which could be anywhere in the damn city.

Shaking his head he looked around "alright you three, listen up!" he shouted gaining their attention.

"Don't have a lot of time to explain the finer details and I won't repeat, got that!?" seeing his serious expression they nodded.

With that he channeled the teachings his parents drummed into his mind and spoke "good, don't know which but one of those demons dragged us into Limbo a space between dimensions where that demon has some control over to an extent. The only way we're going to get out of here is if we find the demon and kill it then we get out of Limbo" he snapped his finger "just like that.

Just then the words 'NO ESCAPE' swirled around the walls in blood.

Dante saw the red clad twin start shaking "hey red" she looked to him "ignore it" he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder "trust me, it barks more than it could bite" he turned to Yang "you okay Goldie Locks?" he smirked.

Yang scoffed "gotta admit, almost had me" she looked around "it's weird alright, but nothing I can't handle" she was grinning now "Hear that!? Bring it on!" she shouted.

Just then a ghastly voice echoed throughout the room "KILL"

Yang looked to them and chuckled nervously "huh, uh, whoops?"

Melanie scowled at her "you just had to say it didn't you?"

Dante shrugged "eh we were gonna get attacked anyway" he drew Rebellion as demons began popping out of the ground "let's get this party started!"

The girls readied into positions as the demons fully emerged. They were humanoid in shape but that was where the similarities stop. They were pitch black in color with bone masks covering their faces, they also held various weapons mostly machetes and cleavers. For all intents they were simply human-looking Grimm.

At this Yang relaxed a little as did the twins, the blonde slammed her fist together with all doubts leaving and confidence she shot of in a blazing glory to the closest demon. Her fist cocked back she threw a punch before the demon could even react

*CRACK* *BOOM*

The demon was sent flying she didn't even make out the others engaging, her thoughts only on the agents of darkness before her. Through the carnage the blonde only thought

'Now that's what I'm talking about!'

With a ding the elevator doors opened and Vergil stepped out dressed in his combat gear with Yamato secured in his left hand. He approached the headmaster's office and not even bothering with formalities entered the room much to the occupants' surprise. Glynda got over her shock quickly and was about to reprimand him when Ozpin held his hand out to halt her.

Ozpin not expecting any visitors looked at him in curiosity "what brings you here Mr. Sparda?" he asked but the expression the young Nephilm wore gave him a hint to the gravity of the situation.

"Dante just contacted me" he began "he managed to find a demon."

This got both their attention as Ozpin's brow furrowed while Glynda looked astonished "are you sure?" the headmistress asked.

Vergil nodded "despite how he acts Dante wouldn't joke about this situation."

"Where did he encounter it?" she asked approaching him.

Vergil fished out his scroll and handed it to her "I tracked his scroll to a location."

Glynda looked at the scroll with a raised eyebrow "I'm not seeing his scroll signature"

"What?" he took it back and true to his word the red dot signifying his brother was gone, only the moving purple of Nero and his own blue remained "but it was just here" he looked to her "I'm not lying" he defended calmly.

"We're not accusing you of lying Vergil" Ozpin reassured "can you get a fix on Dante's previous location Glynda?"

"Yes sir" the disciplinarian took out her own scroll and tapped it a few times, then cross referenced it with the city map, she raised an eyebrow "it seems that his last known location was a night club called The Three Bears" she deadpanned.

If Vergil didn't have any self control he would've groaned aloud with a face palm, instead he sighed.

'Of course'

"He wasn't the only one" she added looking over the data "it appears he was with Miss Xiao Long, both of their signatures disappeared at the same time" she added.

That was unsettling, how could they just disappear like that? Did their scroll get damaged in the fight? Most likely but then he wouldn't have called unless he had the situation under control. What else could be the reason why they both disappear? A sense of dread came over him when another thought came to mind.

"Have you figured something out Vergil?" Ozpin questioned after seeing his troubled expression.

Vergil nodded "they may have been dragged into Limbo" he answered with slight dread.

Ozpin raised an eyebrow "can you elaborate?"

"Yes, demons have the power to drag unsuspecting persons into a space between dimensions. We call this 'pocket' dimension Limbo, in this space the demon who creates it has a semblance of control over the area. The environment itself works to the will of the demon and can transfigure itself to impede or even kill the one who was dragged inside."

As they listened, the feeling of dread could even be seen on Ozpin's face and why wouldn't they be afraid. These demons basically have the power to effectively kidnap someone without a trace and do whatever they wanted within an environment they controlled.

Ozpin schooled his emotions "is there a way for them to escape?"

"Yes, they would have to find and kill the demon who dragged them inside"

"But wouldn't the demon have control of the environment?" Glynda interjected.

Vergil smiled "they don't have total control and the demon would have to be in Limbo for them to be trapped. It would be difficult but if they searched they can find it granted if they survive" as if just remembering "it's not just the environment they would have to be wary of but usually we would face hordes of lesser demons as well but they should be able to handle it, the demons would be as strong as the common Grimm" he added.

This did little to alleviate their worry "is there no other way?" Glynda asked almost pleadingly.

"We have a spell which could be used to open a gateway, I can get it but it'll take a while."

Ozpin released a silent breath "please do so" he turned to Glynda "and what of Nero?"

"It would seem Nero is headed to the same direction Dante's last signature was" Glynda informed.

Vergil immediately dialed Nero's scroll number, soon enough his face appeared on the screen.

"Vergil, Dante tell you the news?"

"Yes, unfortunately he might've been dragged into Limbo and it looks like Yang went with him"

"Crap, so that's why we lost their signal" he grumbled.

"He was in a club called The Three Bears"

"The Three bears? What kind of name for club is-"

"Dude, I see it!" Sun's voice cut him off.

"And there's Bumblebee!" Ruby shouted.

"We found it, how long till you get here?"

"I'm not sure, I'm going home for a spray can."

Nero nodded "see you later Verg" the video call ended and he stuffed the scroll in his pocket and walked up to the club, he noticed someone missing "where's Blake and Sun?"

"She volunteered to go in first" Weiss offered "Sun offered to help her" she turned to the Club with narrowed eyes "it's too quiet."

Nero had to agree with that 'he really got himself stuck in Limbo, again' he sighed.

Regaining his composure he approached the huge double doors which were slightly ajar but would allow for him to enter. Once he was close enough his senses picked up demonic energy.

'Must be hiding' he thought pulling Blue Rose from his holster.

"There's a demon inside" he said suddenly "must be hiding if they haven't found it yet" he added.

"Oh no" Ruby said under her breathtaking out Crescent Rose.

The others drew their weapons as well as they followed Nero inside. Ruby, Weiss and Neptune's jaws dropped at the scene before them. The room was almost completely destroyed with burn marks in various areas; shell casings littered the dance floor. Yet all this paled in comparison to the shock of seeing the corpses across the room. Some of them had dark colored blood pooling around them.

Neptune had to hold down his mouth to avoid throwing up, Weiss stared at the scene appalled and swallowed a lump in her throat and Ruby…

Eyes widening Nero and Weiss turned sharply to the young leader to see her hands fall limply to her side looking over the carnage.

"Ruby" Weiss whispered to her partner approaching slowly.

Wide horrified silver eyes stared at her "wh-I, Yang?" she looked back to the carnage then Nero who had an expression she didn't recognize before walking ahead.

She didn't have any time to think about it now as the pressure on her shoulder tore her from the sight. She turned to see Weiss giving her a reassuring squeeze

"I'm sure your sister's alright, she wouldn't fall so easily" the words were sincere but a little awkward, it was obvious that the heiress was not used to comforting someone.

Having kept his lunch down Neptune was free to observe a nearby corpse then soon raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"Uh, guys" he said hesitantly getting the girl's attention "is it just me or are they, smoking?"

Now that the partners shook off some of their shock they looked around to find that true to his observation, the bodies were indeed giving off smoke.

"They're demons" Nero spoke getting their attention.

Weiss went to speak but an explosion from above got their attention "looks like they found it" Nero muttered heading to the stairs.

Blake glanced at Sun's back and almost smirked at the familiarity of their situation. Here he was blocking a blast meant for her by using one hand to twirl his staff at high speeds. This time though he didn't wait for her to attack like last time and instead charge him. Not missing a beat she followed him, Junior shot another rocket at them.

Sun and Blake ran on either side avoiding the rocket, Sun leapt in the air and brought down his staff. Junior brought up his weapon to block, the staff connected but to the demon's shock the staff bended at the point of impact and he found himself staring down the barrel of a shotgun before

*Boom*

Junior was temporarily blinded by the point blank blast causing him to stumble. Blake ran up to the disoriented demonic man and kicked him square in the gut causing him to double over where she slashed under his chin. Junior's head snapped up sharply just in time as Sun jumped over the cat Faunus and did a double spin kick in mid air. The first kick disarmed him the second one landed in his face, hard.

The large man was forced to bend backwards but not off his feet from the force of the kick. It wasn't until Gambol Shroud wrapped around his leg and was yanked did he find himself freefalling. Blake appeared at his side and with a yell slammed Gambol's sheathe-cleaver square in the demon's head mid-fall. Junior's head shattered the ground and he did not get up again.

Releasing a calming breath she untangled the ribbon from his foot when Sun walked up to her "good teamwork" he grinned.

Her expression softened but didn't change and they both looked down at the unconscious third party. After a while he commented

"So that's a demon" he used his staff to poke its head a few times.

Blake grabbed the staff "would you cut it out, we don't want him to wake up" she hissed with a fierce glare.

Both Faunus turned just in time to see Nero walking through the door along with the rest of their friends.

"What happened?" Nero questioned.

"We came in and saw him messing with the safe" Sun began "he spotted us and well.." he gestured to the carnage then to the unconscious body Blake was tying up with Gambol Shroud's ribbon.

"Is that the demon you mentioned" Weiss asked.

Nero nodded "yeah"

Ruby looked around almost frantically "where's Yang!?" she said in a panicked tone

At this Blake looked at her leader sympathetically "we didn't find her" she said solemnly.

Seeing that Ruby was about to hyperventilate Nero spoke up "that's because she's in limbo."

"Limbo?" Ruby asked the boy who was looking at the partially destroyed safe.

"Yeah, it's a space in between dimensions that's created and maintained by a demon. I'm guessing that after what happened downstairs" he saw Ruby grimace "she and Dante got dragged into it."

"This just keeps getting better" Neptune muttered.

"Can we get them out?" she asked pleadingly.

"Yeah, Vergil's probably on his way with a means of getting them out right now" Ruby sighed and the tension seemed to let out a little "but, knowing Dante he's probably going to do the alternative before Verg even gets here."

"What's the alternative?" Blake asked curiously.

Nero smirked "kill the demon that dragged them in there."

Dante led the girls down what would have been considered the short hallway from Junior's office. What Militia noticed was that it was at least ten times bigger and longer not to mention

*Crack*

Before they could continue to run the floor shifted and fell away into and endless void "whoa" was all he said but Dante didn't stop and instead jumped over the gap, the girls followed suit.

"So that's what you meant" Yang commented.

"Yep" he nodded "see why we're not going any faster?"

It was true they were limiting their speed to a casual jog, might take longer but Dante didn't want to chance falling into an endless void.

"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Miltiades questioned.

"I can sense him, the demon can run but he can't hide from me"

"Why doesn't he just get rid of us though?" Yang questioned "since he can you know, control all this" she spread her arms wide.

"Doesn't work that way" he started "even the most high class demons don't have total control over Limbo, the way how they make it is that they 'borrow' a piece of empty space and warp it into what they want. They don't actually create it so there are certain things even they can't do" he informed before stopping.

Several demons literally popped out of the ground Dante and Yang sped up their pace leaving the twins in the dust. Less than a minute later the demons were dead, and it could be just her imagination but Militia could've sworn that she saw something fly into Dante from the demon corpse before it completely dissolved.

The group continued forward to the stairs or at least what was supposed to be the stairs. They ended up having to stop when they came upon a void of space where pieces of the stairs were floating.

"Great" Melanie fumed "how're we suppose to get to the other side?"

Miltiades didn't pay attention to her instead looking at Dante who looked around until he spotted something. She watched as the sword on his back shifted into something like a grappling hook only…different.

Dante whipped Ophion onto a piece of the staircase, red energy shot down the hook before it reared back dragging the heavy looking metal towards them.

"Get on" he ordered jumping on, the rest followed when I say jump do it" was all he said before whipping Ophion onto a rock and dragged them over.

Once they were close enough to the dance floor below he shouted "JUMP!"

They landed hard on the grid floor for the girls, their Aura took the brunt of the impact but Dante was naturally tough enough withstand it. The moment they landed the club seemed to come alive as a red neon barrier enveloped around the pillars just out of the dance floor to trap them.

[Play Noisia: Electro/Backbeat aka Lilith Club Theme]

"Now what the hell is going on!?" Melanie shouted above the loud music.

"Son of a bitch is gonna try and kill us!"

"How's that different from before!?"

"We know where is! He's gonna pull out all the stops and if we get through it then-"

"We can send his demonic ass back to hell!" Yang finished.

Just then more demons popped out of the dance floor and the four proceeded to tear them apart. Halfway into the fight the music lowered somewhat as an image of the demonic bear-man seemed to form on the barrier like a television.

"Welcome one and all to the Three Bears Fight Club" he announced and to the girls' mild shock they could hear cheering in the background "our contestants tonight are the blonde bimbo who wrecked the club the last time, Yang Xiao Long" a row of boo's could be heard.

At the same time said blonde bimbo's fist exploded through the demons head and crashed square into the bear-man image's face "ho-oh looks like someone forgot whose ass got trounced the last time I was here" she said menacingly with a flash of red in her eyes.

"Next we have the little emo shit stain, Dante"

Approximately 20 rounds was unloaded into the several demons that dropped dead. Dante completely ignored the bear-man's taunting.

"And last but not least we have the twin sluts Melanie and Miltiades Melachite" this time there was some cheer mixed in with the cheering

Militia ripped the throat from a demon and watched as it dissolved into black ink and disappear she gave the bear-man image a dark look. Militia did not appreciate being called a slut, especially since she knew he was one of the few individuals to know her before she became Junior's bodyguards.

Melanie axe kicked the last demon splitting its head down the middle "Rico, I'm going to like, kick your ass for this!" she shouted.

The demon bear-man gave her grin showing his abnormally large mouth lined with razor sharp pointed teeth and offered her two words "…good luck"

[Song turned to background music]

With those parting words the dj booth that was before them stretched away like a speeding car as the barriers blocking the path came down.

They shouldn't be surprised but Melanie couldn't help but scream out in frustration "dammit he was right there!"

"Would you relax!" Dante shouted spinning on the twin "you're letting it get to you! That's what demons like that do, they piss you off so you go blindly charging in like an idiot then fall into a trap and get yourself killed!"

Militia patted her panting sister on the back and white clad twin seemed to calm down "we'll get him sis" the red twin comforted.

"Is this going to be a regular thing?" Yang questioned as they began walking.

"Probably not, the club isn't that big and I can still see him so that's literally as far as he can go" he turned to her "we make it over there then he'll have to fight us."

They stopped at the edge of the dance floor overlooking an abyss "couldn't he just make a barrier or something" Militia questioned.

"Nah, doing all this crap" he gestured to his surroundings "takes energy, he wants to take us out before we reach him and he'll spend all the energy to make the place do it. When we reach him he won't have any power to make barriers" he concluded.

"That's great and all but how are we supposed to get across that?" Melanie gestured to the platform a good distance away.

Even an Aura infused leap wouldn't get them across and it was too far for Ophion to latch onto. Dante ran to the edge before leaping

"Dante!"

"Is he crazy!?"

Militia stayed quiet and watched as the leap the teen took only got him a few feet shy of the landing but before he could fall she saw him kick the air and glide the rest of the way via wisps of light like wind.

Taking out Ophion Dante shouted "jump and I'll pull you the rest of the way!"

As the least surprised of the trio Yang was the first to jump with a boost shot from Ember Celica for good measure. She made it closer than Dante but ultimately began plummeting, that's when Dante used Ophion to quickly pull her to him.

"Next!" he shouted.

"What am I looking at here?" Sun questioned.

Right now they were all huddled around the table looking at a map of Vale only it had circles in a few places.

"It could be hideouts for other demons?" Blake mused.

"But there's so many of them" Ruby looked at the map with worry.

They didn't know what the map signified but if it is indeed what Blake suggested then they could be in serious trouble. None of them would want to think that there could be so many demons living amongst them.

"It could be for all we know" Nero interrupted "on earth there were literally thousands, some disguised themselves as humans, most of the lesser ones stay in limbo as grunts to kill anyone who gets dragged in and then there are the ones like him" he gestured to the unconscious club owner.

"What's so different about him" Weiss questioned while eyeing him.

"Believe it or not at some point that guy was actually human but got corrupted to the point where he turned into a demon" he scowled.

The others however grew pale at his words, Neptune gulped "so let me get this straight. You're saying that guy is human?"

"No I'm saying he was human. Whoever this guy was before is dead" he said in a dark tone "right now he's a demon with a human shell."

They continued to stare at the downed former human with horror and some disgust "don't worry about that though" he spoke again "you guys are too strong to be corrupted like that schmuck" his eyes narrowed "but you might wanna tell your friend Jaune to watch his back because when this thing goes FUBAR they'll use anything against you."

Weiss, Blake and especially Ruby knew that much, the blonde wasn't the most capable fighter and wouldn't have the mental fortitude that comes with it to ward off temptation. Blake's bow twitched and Sun blinked as they both looked up

"You hear that?" the blonde Faunus questioned.

Right after the sound became audible to all in the room "what is that?" Ruby said in confusion.

"Sounds like a bullhead engine" Neptune supplied as he gained a pensive expression "V12 standard issue probably from Beacon, nope definitely Beacon" he nodded but found himself being stared at "what?"

"How could you possibly know that?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.

"I took a part time course in engineering, fixing airships, bullheads and the sort" he shrugged then smirked "surprised?"

Weiss at least had the decency to be embarrassed and avert her gaze interesting indeed.

Sun rolled his eyes "yeah whatever but I think you guys are missing one very important detail here. There is a Bullhead out there that probably has a teacher and they are gonna wonder why we're inside a totaled Club after curfew with a guy tied up and a bunch of dead bodies on the dance floor."

"I wouldn't worry about that" Nero walked towards the unconscious demon and started dragging him away "it's just Vergil" he said to their relief.

Outside the building a Bullhead hovered above the roof of the club before eventually landing. The two occupants Vergil along with Glynda Goodwitch exited the vehicle. Vergil's eyes narrowed in suspicion, this was definitely the place. As for Glynda the moment she touched the roof the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end.

She didn't need to be a veteran huntress who has been through more battles than she cared to count to know that there was something wrong with this place. Glynda didn't know what she was feeling, it was something she'd felt in being in Nero's presence except far more sinister. She could practically feel it wafting off of the place and the grip on her riding crop tightened as they descended to the ground and entered the building.

Ozpin had entrusted her to personally seeing to the safety of the students and to secure this demon they allegedly caught. It spoke volumes of how serious he's taking all of this, she was still skeptical despite everything. Then again the Grimm were already a major threat to mankind that they have only recently managed to control.

The last thing anyone wanted to know was that they weren't the only threat or the real one at all!

They both entered the club, Vergil allowing the older woman first, like a gentleman. If it were any other student then she would've reprimanded them but Vergil, from what she's gathered, was very mature for his age and means nothing by it. To her credit Glynda maintained her stoic gaze when she looked over the carnage.

It was nothing she's never seen before.

What did surprise her was the fact that the bodies looked to be in the final stages of dissolving, not unlike the Grimm. A sigh caused her to momentarily glance at her companion. Vergil was standing over the body of a demon.

"This has Dante written all over it"

Glynda took slow steps as she surveyed the destroyed club and spotted a body by a smashed pillar. Ah yes, she could recognize Yang Xiao Long's work anywhere. So they were definitely here, she checked her personal scroll and frowned, their signal were still nowhere to be found. Just then footsteps were heard coming down the stairs along with some chatter.

Eventually they all came down Vergil's teammate Nero followed by team RWB(Y) and two boys she didn't recognize, they must be from another school. Upon seeing her everyone except Nero froze in terror and they should. Glynda came closer, her expression stern, she was ready to reprimand them heavily for breaking curfew.

"M-Miss Goodwitch" Ruby squeaked "I-we" Ruby trailed off looking to her team to back her up.

The platinum blonde however held up her hand "we will be discussing your punishments accordingly Miss Rose" her gaze switched to Nero who threw down Junior "for now you and your team will wait in the bullhead on the roof"

"But…" she gave the girl a stern glare that made her recoil.

Blake stepped forward "our teammate is missing professor" she gulped slightly when the heated gaze was now upon her "we won't leave without her" she said adamantly.

"You will do no such thing! Your team has already violated at least five rules with that little stunt you pulled on the highway"

"y-you saw that?" Ruby asked uncertainly.

"Unfortunately" Vergil sighed "some bystanders caught the entire fight on video and its currently on the news and has gone viral on Dustube"

Nero summarized the combined thoughts of all present during that fight in one word "shit."

"Watch your tone young man" Glynda warned.

Nero spared her the same glare before looking to the Nephilm "so he's out of it, Dante and Yang are in limbo and I think we might've found a map of other demon owned bars all across Vale."

"What?" Glynda's eyes widened "there is a possibility that there is more than one of these places?" Nero nodded.

Vergil sighed again "we'll have to deal with that later, right now we have get Dante and Yang out of limbo" he then began opening his satchel.

"How do we do that?" Sun asked.

Glynda herself was curious as well, during their journey he didn't fill her in how they were suppose to get them out of there.

Vergil took out several glass shards from the satchel "well first of all, we'll need to find them first" he handed everyone a shard "these shards will allow you to see beyond the mortal plane and into limbo" he explained as they all looked at the glass with some apprehension.

The first to look through the glass was Sun "whoa, you guys gotta see this" they all complied and had an overall similar reaction.

Glynda too looked through the glass, the place had a grey tint to it but what caught her attention was how huge the place was. The club was destroyed yet what she was seeing was an even bigger club with flashing lights, dark matter crept upon the walls and if she didn't know any better then she would've thought there be music playing.

Alas the shards only provided sight not sound.

"Take a look at the DJ booth"

They did as complied and looked at the booth that was only a few feet away. In limbo however it might as well be a few blocks down the street. Between them and booth were a culmination of neon pathways, platform stages and abyss. In fact Weiss looked down to find that although they were on the dance floor, in limbo they were standing over an abyss.

"I can see miss Xiao Long" the disciplinarian spoke squinting her eye a little "it seems that she along with Mr Sparda and two other individuals are engaging the enemy" she reported.

"I see her too" Weiss confirmed "we need to get closer."

"Don't bother" Vergil stopped them "the way how limbo works is that the environment can shift itself to appear larger and smaller so even though it looks like they're straight ahead in actuality they're in another part of the building entirely."

"We will have to split into teams and search for them" Glynda realized with a deepening frown. She didn't want to involve the children any further but it can't be helped.

"Precisely so after we find it Professor Goodwitch and I will go there to help them escape"

Nero frowned "I'm coming with you"

"No I need you to stay here in case more show up"

"Why can't she stay and I go" he gestured to Glynda who fought the urge to use her Semblance on him.

"Professor Goodwitch is going to help Yang and the other two escape while I stay to help Dante finish off the demon. I need you to stay here and track their movement and make the spell to get them out of there."

"….fine" the young half demon said through gritted teeth "but the next demon we see is mine, got it?"

Vergil gave a small smile "of course and a word of warning, when you look through the glass into limbo you make your presence known to whatever inhabits there." Everyone split off into the same search groups with their heads on a swivel.

…

Ruby looked uncharacteristically serious Nero noted. Her expression never once changed from her serious expression. It was a nice change of pace from the preppy, hyperactive, awkward girl he's come to know her as.

'She really cares about her sister' he thought looking ahead trying to find their older siblings/sibling figure.

…

'We are in way over our heads' was the thought Neptune had as he looked around limbo.

Some of the things he's seeing made his skin crawl. The only reason why he's seemingly keeping his composure was because Weiss was there and the last thing he wants is to look uncool in front of her. He's had experiences with bad dates before so he's spent time practicing his poker face.

The only difference was that instead of a pleasant smile it's a neutral almost aloof expression with a tinge of caution. After all he had to add some realism and no one could possibly be completely unfazed by the things he's seeing right now.

Beside him Weiss shuffled her feet to avoid stepping on that black…stuff that seemed to occupy the crevices of that world. She then mentally berated herself since she wasn't in that world so her foot should harmlessly passed through the muck.

She momentarily cringed, not that she would do it either way 'disgusting'

Her gaze flickered to Neptune who wore a completely serious expression. She herself had managed to keep her gaze stoic, years of attending meetings and balls hosted by her father taught her that. She is after all the perfect Schnee heiress. His eyes caught hers

"You alright?" he questioned.

"I am" she held her gaze forward after the curt reply.

He thought "okay" his gaze lingered on her stoic face for a moment before he too faced forward.

'So frigid' he thought

'So Aloof' she thought

'I like it' they both thought all the while smiling internally.

…

'This is all my fault' were the thoughts of Blake belladonna as she and Sun continued to trek around the club 'why did I let them get involved? If I'd just gone alone then none of this wouldn't have happened. We wouldn't be in trouble and my partner wouldn't have gotten trapped in some parallel dimension fighting off hordes of demons'

While the guilt of what her decision has led to consumed Blake, her companion was "this is so cool" more optimistic.

Blake turned to Sun who was looking at something inside a room. He turned to her and ushered her over "I found them" he said and Blake was by his side in a second.

The room itself was empty and looked dark but once she looked through the glass, her mouth parted in awe. There was Dante and Yang along with two other girls who appeared to be twins. They were fighting what appears to be a cross between Grimm and human on what looked like a dance floor.

"Demons.." she trailed off watching the creatures.

While the twins fought off a number of demons that looked more like zombies Dante was overpowering a demon with a chainsaw who currently set itself on fire and charged at the Nephilm. Meanwhile her eyes spied her partner who was engaging a behemoth of a demon that was more or less the size of the Atlesian Paladin Roman piloted earlier.

The mech that took the six of them to take down.

She and Sun winced when a shotgun punch failed to even leave a dent in its thick armor. The blonde rolled out the way when it retaliated with a clumsy punch that set it off balance so it had to keep itself from falling over. Yang tried firing at its back and Blake saw it gave something like an enraged roar before leaping at her partner with fist enflame.

Yang nimbly rolled forward to avoid the body slam but didn't expect a fiery shockwave when the demon hit the ground. Blake winced when Yang was slammed into what she assumed to be a barrier. That tears it, she wanted to go in right now, her fist clenched and for a moment she forgot where she was and was about to jump into the fray.

"Yeah guys we found them" Sun's voice brought her back to the real world even as his tail blocked her path and his hand came to her shoulder "we're in one of the private rooms around the back" he said in a serious tone.

It was odd seeing him like that, all serious, wasn't he supposed to be a thrill seeking, airheaded boy who had a misguided crush on her? Or maybe she was just comparing him to her partner, speaking of…..

Yang had gotten up, her eyes flashed red against the grey tint of the world and she could see flames coming off her hair just like that time at initiation. With bared teeth she charged at the demon still trying to get up. It had just made it to its knees when Yang's flaming fist connected with its rear. Blake and Sun's mouth dropped as the hulking creature was literally exploded into bloody chunks.

"She killed that thing with one punch" the monkey Faunus said in disbelief.

Blake couldn't help but gain a satisfactory smile, she almost felt proud Yang was her partner, what was she worried about? Blake was so used to doing things on her own that she thought the team would slow her down but in actuality they could take care of themselves. Even Sun and Neptune were proved to be competent tonight despite their flaws.

Now she felt silly, they were Hunters in training, the future protectors of mankind, it was foolish of her to ever think that they would slow her down.

"Blake, Sun!?"

The cat Faunus wasn't that surprised to find that Ruby was the first to arrive

"Over here!" Sun yelled waving at her.

Ruby was before him in a split second with rose petals fluttering about. The younger girl eyed her teammate and Blake pointed in the room. Ruby hastily looked through the glass to see her sister fighting off demons with her Semblance activated. It was basically a one hit kill everytime her fist connected with one of them.

A wide smile crossed her features as relief settled in "KICK THEIR BUTTS YANG!" she cheered.

"They can't hear you" Nero's voice sounded Ruby looked his way "so don't make a racket I don't think Blake appreciates the noise."

At this the girl's head swiveled to the silent cat Faunus whose cringe left her expression "Blake I'm so sorry" she apologized frantically.

"It's fine" yet not unexpected.

If Blake wasn't reserved then she too would be cheering her teammate on because Yang was definitely on a role.

Ruby spotted Neptune and "Weiss!" she appeared before said girl "you've got to see this" without waiting for the girl to give reply she sped back to the doorway.

Weiss took a moment to steady herself "I'm perfectly capable of walking myself" she huffed but looked through her glass nonetheless.

What she saw made her pause "well, isn't it awesome?" Ruby urged.

Taking a moment to compose herself before giving her reply "quite, I expected nothing less" she spoke with a regal dignity that made Blake and Nero roll their eyes.

Typical Schnee

"You wouldn't be cheering if you could actually hear her though" Nero commented.

"Really" Weiss raised an eyebrow "what is she saying?"

Nero looked to Ruby momentarily before he replied to Weiss "a bunch of random swears" and Dante said he didn't have any tact "something about her hair"

'Of course' were Weiss and Blake's exasperated thoughts.

Ruby gained a sheepish look, now that she looked properly Yang didn't have her usual smile when fighting. She actually looked pissed right now, huh, how'd she miss that?

Neptune had just started to look when he saw Dante deliver a repeated sword stab so fast his blade actually made afterimages. With a final thrust the demon exploded into black mist right before them. He met their gaze and had Rebellion on his shoulder and gave them a tow finger salute with a smirk.

While Nero rolled his eyes no one had anything to say to that except Neptune who nodded "nice."

Without the presence of demonic energy to keep the barrier up it collapsed, they had been fighting for a while now. At least it felt like that to Dante, he could literally fight all day without breaking a sweat but the same couldn't be said for the girls though. The twins were spent, leaning against each other for support. Melanie actually got smashed by the behemoth before Yang fought it, Militia was momentarily distracted by this and left herself open to several attacks.

Aura or not they were still human and it was wishful thinking on his part for thinking they could actually keep up with him forever. Even Yang was panting so whatever that berserker thing did to give her a boost in power drained her. She wasn't out though but he wasn't going to risk it now that they were in the home stretch.

That demon will be pulling out all the stops for this so things will get messy luckily he won't have to gamble with their lives for much longer.

"Good news ladies" he grinned coming closer.

"We're here?" Yang said hopefully.

"Nah, but the cavalry is" he thumbed behind him.

The girls looked and right there they could see several people, some more than others, they didn't have any color but Yang knew her sister anywhere.

"Ruby?" she saw the black and white girl grin and ran towards her, she did the same "RUBY!" both sisters went to embrace each with Ruby even Jumping to reach into her arms.

In the end though, they slipped through each other causing Yang to stumble and for Ruby to fall flat on her face "wha?" Yang looked to the girl as Weiss helped her up.

"We're in a different dimension remember?" Dante reminded.

"Oh"

"So how are they supposed to help us?" asked Militia wobbly standing "cause I don't think I can keep doing this and Melanie is low on Aura" she gazed on her sister who looked close to passing out.

"Oh don't worry about that" he reassured before looking to Nero "Vergil here?"

"Yeah he's on his way with Goodwitch" Nero replied

Yang suddenly became paler "p-p-professor Goodwitch..is here!"

Nero shrugged "you guys found a demonic hideout, what you expect Ozpin to sit back and watch how we handle this?"

'That's what he's been doing up 'till now' she went to reply when the others looked behind them Vergil had just appeared with a barely visible shadowy outline next to him. Everyone in the room became smaller and Yang actually saw Ruby try to hide behind Weiss who had gone stiff.

Vergil looked to the shadowy figure "you'll have to use your glass professor"

Yang jumped back when Glynda Goodwitch suddenly appeared before her, the disciplinarian looked around through the glass and her eyes narrowed on Yang. Even when they were separated by a dimensional barrier she scares the hell out of the blonde. She saw the professor began to speak yet her words did not reach her.

"I'm afraid she can't hear you professor Goodwitch" Vergil said from his crouched position, taking out a piece of paper and a spray can "here we go."

As he sprayed the twins walked over with Militia holding her sister "what is that?"

"I'm currently doing a spell that would open a gateway into limbo so you can get out" he ripped the paper off and the moment he did a light started to emit from the archaic circle "one at a time starting with the injured first."

Melanie managed to limp over the circle and once she stood on it disappeared in a small show of light. The circle also disappeared and so he sprayed another one on the ground "next" Militia went through.

Vergil began to spray again when the place started to shift like an earthquake "hold that thought Verg" the way behind the group started to crumble "shit, Yang we gotta move, now!"

Yang, who was still trying an attempt at communicating with Ruby looked up and her eyes widened "damnit" she gave Ruby an apologetic look before she and Dante ran.

In the real world Vergil bit back a curse as he stood up "the demon must be on to us" he turned around "it let two of them get away, it won't make that mistake again. We'll need to go in there ourselves."

Glynda nodded before looking towards the students "you will accompany these two to the Bullhead waiting on top of the building"

Ruby's eyes widened "but-"

Glynda cut her off with a glare "you are already in enough problems as it is Miss Rose don't add any more. Mr. Sparda and I will retrieve Miss Xiao Long and his brother before meeting with you shortly."

"We may have found some valuable information regarding other possible locations of demons" Blake spoke.

"Yeah like a whole map of Vale with markers and everything" Sun added.

"Take that and anything else inside the safe, with demons nothing is as it seems" Vergil spoke and the pair complied "Nero you'll follow us and prep the spell in case we have to get Yang and professor Goodwitch out of there" he turned to the final pair "can I trust you two to bring the demon inside the bullhead?"

"Of Course" Weiss nodded curtly

"No problem" Neptune agreed.

"I'm going with you" Ruby said to Nero and Vergil.

"Miss Rose-" Glynda said threateningly.

"Its fine" Nero cut her off "just let her follow us, she won't be satisfied unless her sister is safe anyway" he shrugged.

Glynda glared hard at Nero who was completely unfazed, in fact he met her cold glare with a heated one.

Glynda huffed shortly after "very well but we will be having a long discussion on today's events"

Nero rolled his eyes "yeah, yeah whatever let's go already" he said before turning to leave the room.

Glynda's gaze became one of fury as she pointed her riding crop in his direction only for her shoulder to be gently grasped. For a moment she thought it was Ozpin himself before she turned around to gaze into the apologetic eyes of Vergil.

"I'm sorry for his behavior, he doesn't take well with authority figures or being ordered around by them. I'll have to have a talk with him."

Glynda sighed, really this boy reminded her of a younger Ozpin. He's been the only one to ever calm her enough not to do something irrational. There was James too but that was a long, long time ago.

"Please see to it that you do" she spoke before exiting as well.

Meanwhile in limbo Yang and Dante entered a room, this one didn't have any neon lights or platforms, the music sounded muffled and the ultra violet light revealed graffiti but with demonic symbols splattered on the wall.

"Congratulations on making it this far" the speakers sounded.

"Getting a little worried aren't you care bear?" Dante quipped.

"Hardly"

"Whatever, only a matter of time before we get up there and I get to watch my lovely lady friend rip you a new one"

To punctuate this Yang cracked her knuckles with a grin "such a gentleman" she found herself teasing despite everything.

A snarl could be heard over the speakers "not if she's dead" with that the room began to collapse under Yang's foot before it split apart.

Before she could even scream yang found herself being pulled and before she knew it she was being embraced by Dante on hand around her waist, the other shot Ophion to a ledge and pulled them out of the room. The moment they landed they separated

"Oh he must be desperate now" Dante grinned "probably used to people dying on him by now."

"Yeah-wait what's that supposed to mean?" Yang questioned.

"We're probably not the first to be dragged into limbo" he said walking into another room then suddenly looked up "scratch that we're definitely not the first to get dragged into limbo"

Curious Yang went into the room and looked up and immediately gave an expression that was one part shock and one part disgust "what… is that?"

Above them was what looked a demon only it was unrecognizable, completely red with white eyes and seemed to be stuck to the wall. Another thing was that it was wailing….in agony if Yang got that right. Its voice sounded like a loud whisper that echoed.

"That..Yang is no, was probably a person at one point" she turned to him to see his gaze hardened, all the cockiness and mirth gone "this is what happens to normal souls when they die in limbo. The demons torture their souls then hang it up around like decorations around the place. That poor schmuck must've been in the wrong place at the wrong time if he got stuck in limbo."

Yang's face paled wait didn't she unknowingly destroyed their club the last time she was here? Yang looked at the wailing soul 'did that mean I could've ended up like that?'

The brawler had no illusions that she could survive this place alone with just Ember Celica, her admittedly above average combat skills and her Semblance. She didn't have an unlimited amount of Dust rounds for Ember Celica like Dante seemed to have with Ebony and Ivory. Her combat skills could only take her so far before she is overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies and her Semblance makes her stronger not invincible.

Plus with the sudden shifts in the environment she would eventually succumb to it all, whether through the number of demons, slipping up or exhaustion. Come to think of it how is it that Dante is completely fine after going through all this. She never saw him lose the laid attitude when he fought, hell she's never seen him take a hit, not once and she had the right mind to believe he didn't even break a sweat.

"What do we do?"

"Only thing we can" he jumped towards the tortured soul and with three swings from Rebellion the soul was cut open only she saw something go into Dante.

"T.h..n… o…u~"

The ghostly whisper was enough for her to forget about what she thought she saw happen "you welcome" Dante answered before turning to Yang "let's go."

She complied but couldn't stop the question from escaping her lips "you killed him-er her, it? Whatever" she waved her hands briefly in frustration "why?"

"I'd like to think of it as releasing their souls but yeah I 'killed' it" he did air quotes "it was already dead anyway, the most I did was make the soul escape limbo" he looked to her "he even thanked me for it before he left."

Yang looked at him incredulously before remembering that faint ghostly whisper 'it was saying thank you' she realized.

A moment later they went on to another set of platforms "we're close now" he commented.

Indeed they were, they were practically next to the giant DJ booth they looked on before going running forward like the headstrong people they were.

Meanwhile Nero, Vergil, Glynda and Ruby were having a hard time trying to find them "this is taking too long" Nero grumbled.

For once Glynda agreed, they had no idea where those two would go "where could they be going?"

"They'd be going for the demon"

"Then shouldn't we look for them downstairs?" Ruby questioned.

Vergil sighed "the closer we are to the demon the more the concentration of demonic energy is and it could disrupt the spell. Plus now the demon is aware of our presence, it could try to disrupt any further entry."

"Well we need to try anyway" Nero suggested "maybe you can catch them before and help them, Dante would be fine but" his gaze flickered to Ruby for a moment "I don't think Yang could keep up with him for long."

Vergil looked around "we need to find somewhere close to the booth in limbo to cut them off"

Ruby's scroll suddenly beeped "Weiss?"

On the other line Blake was looking at something through her glass "I found Yang and Dante, they're downstairs."

The group headed downstairs to see Weiss and Blake looking through the glass "where's Weiss Sun and Neptune?"

"In the bullhead looking after the twins and the demon" was Blake's reply.

Vergil prepped the spell as Glynda looked through the glass to see Dante and Yang fighting these flying little creatures with shields. Her eyes narrowed.

"Finish, professor Goodwitch if you'd please step on the circle.." she immediately complied.

The sensation she felt was of her body becoming weightless for a split second before she found herself in a completely different environment. The air was thicker, strobe lights assaulted her eyes in a red and black but the worst of it all was that Oum awful techno music these kids found so appealing.

Glynda cringed even as one of those shielded creatures threw what looked like a bomb towards Yang who was engaging a demon with a shield she was trying to break through. With a wave of her crop the bomb was redirected back to the demon where it blew its head off. She then stalked forward and pointed at the demon but found her Semblance ineffective.

'Impossible' her eyes widened.

She had no time to think of this development as a demon wielding a chainsaw rushed at her, a purple glyph shielded her from the hit and again it was immune to her Semblance. Not a problem though, with another wave the glyph forcibly pushed it back. Then another glyph appeared between Yang and Dante's opponents, in fact a glyph appeared before every demon within her line of sight.

All the demons were then pulled/slammed together under one larger glyph and Glynda dropped her crop the same time the glyph slammed down on the bundle of demons and killed all of them.

Dante gave a long whistle "neat trick" he complimented "but you missed one" he pointed behind her.

Glynda turned sharply at the demon hovering above, how could she not have sensed it, then again whatever energy these things radiate seemed to have saturated the air. Right when the demon was about to attack it was suddenly split in half. There was a click beside her and she turned to find Vergil's hand lower from Yamato.

"Long time no see bro" Dante greeted.

Vergil sighed "why is it I'm not surprised you're the first one of us to be trapped in limbo."

He grinned "jealous?" Vergil gave him an unamused look "well I know Nero is"

"Screw you Dante" he heard the slightly echoed voice of said half demon.

Meanwhile Glynda's eyes caught sight of Yang slowly edging away "Miss Xiao Long"

"Eep" her lilac eyes widened as her body floated towards the bane of her existence. Once she was set down before the professor she plastered on a smile "p-professor Goodwitch…uh..what's up?"

If it was even possible her eyes narrowed even more menacingly "you have much to answer for young lady. Not only were you out past your curfew but you also tried to investigate matters that should not be of concern to you. Entered a less than reputable establishment and had yourself trapped in an alternate dimension" she paused "what do you have to say for yourself?"

"Huh.." she trailed off to give the twins, who paused to see her scolding, a pleading look.

Dante decided to bail her out "to be clear it was my fault we got dragged into limbo Prof so about going easy on her?"

"I will be addressing your transgressions later Mr. Spa-" her retort was cut off when Vergil appeared before her.

"Professor Goodwitch" he whispered "please do not say that name in this place" he looked around.

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes she gave a nod that would demand an explanation from him later on "I believe it's time we take our leave Miss Xiao Long"

Suddenly the platform shook and in the space Glynda could make out the words 'NO ESCAPE', 'DIE',' KILL'.

a crack and shift signaled the neon bridge about to collapse "uh we should go" Yang spoke looking towards the end.

"We will do no such thing" Glynda said resolutely before the bridged that was about to fall suddenly stopped "mr-Vergil" she corrected "tell Nero to make the spell, I won't be able to hold it off much longer" she grunted, this place was really testing her.

"Already on it" Nero sounded just as the ground emitted light, he was working on a second as he spoke.

'WHORE'

Glynda's eye twitched as the word appeared directly in front of her in bold red neon.

"Go" Glynda said now slightly strained.

"But what about-" she looked to the twins.

"Ah we'll be fine, this ain't our first rodeo" he winked.

Yang hesitantly stepped onto the circle and soon after the weightlessness she found herself with additional weight in the form of her younger sister.

"Yang!" she squeezed tighter "what happened? How'd you get trapped in limbo? Are you alright? What was it like? Did you get a souvenir?" her sister rattled off.

"Easy, easy calm down Rubes" before she could say anymore Glynda appeared on a fresh circle Nero made.

She exhaled slowly, preventing that entire structure from collapsing took a bit of effort even for her. Glynda had half a mind to stay and assist them regardless of their familiarity with these things. She was dissuaded from that decision though, her first priority may have been to ensure all of their safety but somehow Vergil managed to convince her otherwise.

"I believe you will have time to explain yourselves tonight…before the headmaster" suddenly reality came back to the siblings and they both gulped.

"We can't leave without Dante and Vergil" Yang supplied only to get a bark of laughter from Nero.

"You're worried about them? Please, Dante was already a freakin' force of nature by himself but with Vergil" he shook his head "I give them ten minutes tops to kill that demon and break out of limbo. Sooner if Dante makes a competition out of it" he placed the spray can and paper in the satchel "besides we should probably see if that demon is behaving himself."

Then it suddenly came to them Weiss Sun and Neptune were on the bullhead, alone…with a demon. Even Glynda mentally cursed as she stomped off along with the rest of RWBY and Nero.

"Aren't you going to wait for your…" she trailed off

"Brothers" he finished

"Oh" she nodded "you're not staying."

"Don't need to, we've done this so many times that it's not even a challenge anymore."

Yang heard that "exactly how many ties are we talking about?"

"I don't know, could be hundreds I think" he looked thoughtful "by the way you look like shit" he ignored the looks he got for openly using a curse word before Ruby and Glynda.

Yang looked down at her outfit, Aura protected her clothes from damage but she still had rips and tears. Her hair looked haggard and truthfully she looked like she'd been through the grinder.

Yang simply shrugged though "been fighting demons for Oum knows how long while avoiding death traps. I mean one time lava replaced some of floor tiles in the middle of a fight so I had to watch my step" she gestured to her burnt boots and don't get me started on the moving walls.

Inside the bullhead beady red eyes stared at the three teens and silently took pleasure in their obvious discomfort. Sun leaned next to Neptune whom Weiss shifted closer to

"I swear if he doesn't stop staring I'm going knock him out again..hard" the Faunus hissed.

Junior sat bound and gagged, he didn't struggle or move since he became conscious, in fact the only thing he did was to stare at his captors. The creepy thing about it was that he didn't blink or move, when one of them moved his eyes would roam them in short succession.

And right now it was Weiss' turn.

The heiress herself was leaning towards Sun's idea by the second, barbaric or not she didn't like to be stared at, not like that anyway. Why was he even doing it? Was this some kind of sick game to him?

The twins were further down the bullhead resting from their ordeal so asking their opinion wouldn't be of any help.

"I say we do it anyway" Neptune agreed and it was just then she noticed his hands were draped over her shoulders.

'When did that happen?' she wondered but made no attempts to get out of it, that is until she heard Yang's voice then she made sure to part away so fast Neptune's hand hovered in place for a moment before it fell.

The Bluenette looked to her and she gave him a sideways glance before standing up just in time to greet everyone coming in.

"Yang" she began giving the girl a once over "you look haggard."

"Been fighting demons in a different dimension that wanted me dead" she deadpanned before her gaze shifted to Junior.

The demonic bar owner's expression went from neutral to shock "yeah that's right, I made it out" she sauntered over to him "and after my friend's finished with the bear" she leaned down with an absolutely feral grin "you're gonna tell us everything" her eyes flashed red as she reared her fist back "so, buh bye"

*WHACK* everyone except Glynda winced, even Nero had to admit that she threw a mean right hook.

Sun and Neptune who had gotten a wonderful view of her ass when she leaned over to talk to Junior had the dumbest expression on their faces.

"Damn" Sun whispered.

"What a woman" Neptune spoke in a hushed tone and they both nodded before turning their gaze left when the temperature around them suddenly dropped and a dark feeling encompassed them.

A pair of blue and amber eyes narrowed at them in disgust before being averted.

'Crap' was their simultaneous thought.

Nero could only shake his head at them before he too looked left and met silver eyes. Ruby looked at Nero with an unreadable expression, or at least it would be to anyone who knew Ruby Rose for more than a few days. Her eyes shifted to Yang who finally stood upright and sauntered to a seat, then back to Nero.

Nero also looked and-his eyes lingered for but a moment before getting back to Ruby. Her gaze was no longer unreadable but slightly narrowed, she puffed her cheeks before stomping down to sit next to Weiss and Blake.

"What?" she didn't acknowledge him so he turned to the other two males "what?"

Despite the similar situation Sun and Neptune shook their heads in pity at him. Eventually he gave up with a frustrated yell while throwing his hands up.

"You know what? Whatever."

Glynda who had witnessed everything decided not to touch this situation with a ten foot pole and relocated to the cockpit. She didn't have the patience for teenage drama at the moment so their reprobation will have to wait.

They didn't have to wait for long since not 6 minutes afterwards Dante and Vergil walked in, not a single scratch on them.

"What'd we miss?" the red clad Nephilm questioned only to pause.

The tension in the air was palpable.

Weiss was obviously upset if the scowl, crossed legs and arms weren't a dead giveaway. She sat across from Neptune who was trying his best to keep his cool despite her icy glare. Blake, Vergil noted, looked upset about something and kept her head low. On the other side Sun looked as if he wanted to say something but kept it to himself.

The weirdest of all was Ruby who mimicked her partner's position while glaring (adorably) at Nero who tossed her confused yet aggravated looks.

"Seriously what is your problem?" he said for what must be the millionth time.

"I'm still not talking to you" was her reply

"You just did" he deadpanned and she turned with a Weiss-like hmph.

"What's this? A lovers quarrel I see" he grinned.

His reply was a simultaneous

Nero: Shut the hell up Dante!

Ruby: WHAT!?

Neptune: Uncool!

Weiss: Be quiet you!

Sun: Dude!

Blake: No!

The noise was loud enough to rouse Yang from her short nap "what's all the yelling about?" she said drowsily before her eyes landed on Dante and she lit up slightly "you're back?"

"Psh, of course I am" he approached while Vergil headed for the cockpit to inform Glynda of their arrival.

"So how was it?" she asked eagerly.

"I got in a hit for you" he leaned back with a contented sigh and not so subtly draped his hand around her "a punch through his giant head from you to it. Sorry you couldn't be there to see it."

She shrugged "meh what's done is done" she shrugged "besides you still showed me a good time" she leaned in closer giving a generous view of her cleavage.

"That I did" he let his head rest on the back of the Bullhead while she rested on his shoulders.

When did those two get together?

"Ugh, get a room" Nero rolled his eyes.

"You're just jealous because I know how to treat a woman right"

"Yeah by fighting demons in limbo?" he raised an eyebrow as the door closed and the Bullhead edged off the ground.

Dante looked at Yang who cracked a single lilac eye before closing it with a content smile "she seems satisfied" he shrugged "can't say the same for Ruby though" his eyes glanced at Sun and Neptune "now how the hell did you guys manage to piss them off anyway?"

The room became silent so Yang opted to answer via whispered and Dante looked to each of them before he and Yang started laughing, hard. The boys, even Nero had the decency to look ashamed while the girls narrowed their gaze at the pair. No doubt if they had a time machine, they would journey back to prevent these two from ever meeting each other.

As if the day couldn't get any worse for Ruby, she would have to explain tonight's event before the headmaster himself.

'This is going to be a long night' she lamented.

To Be continued

Author's Notes: Okay so I've been a bit curious about limbo in the game and the way how it is presented makes it seem very convenient. I mean it can essentially take on any shape and Dante even said it looked bigger when they went to the factory. Yet when they infiltrated the headquarters the space didn't shift and Dante could walk side by side with Kat so I gave a more in depth analysis of the place.

Also sorry I didn't go in depth with what happened but seriously Vergil and Dante working together and to be clear where I place their strength is above DmC level but slightly weaker than DMC 3. I imagine this because I think a younger version of Dante and Vergil trained their whole lives by Sparda and Eva are going to be stronger than the classic counterparts who only had formal training in some forms of human combat which I'm guessing is self taught.

It feels weird coming to this story after so long so tell me in the review if I've still got it, more curses because I was in a cursing mood

Now then I've addressed the latest RWBY news up top so now we can get into more recent events. So did any of you guys watch the Dante vs. Beyonetta deathbattle? If not then WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? Open up a new tab go to youtube and watch that shit because it was freaking. EPIC now I won't spoil what happens but let's just say that the result actually surprised me.
