Alucard unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Ruby who released her scythe and Yang cocked Ember Celica to which Trevor unhooked his chain whip and Sypha held a fireball between her index and pinky finger. Jaune pulled out his sword with his shield still sheathed and it turned into a shotgun and aimed it at Trevor. Ren pulled out his submachine guns and aimed at Alucard. Nora pulled out her grenade launcher which then transformed into her giant maul which now had spikes on the hammer itself. Pyrrha used her semblance to summon her shield and spear. Sypha along with Trevor's eyes widen and felt slightly intimidated as they gazed upon their weapons. "Well shit..." Trevor said as they were outgunned.

The priest looked at them in fear before speaking "People please! Lower your weapons! You'll attract the Grimm." Ruby and the others looked at the priest then each other before lowering their weapons and Alucard lowered his sword slightly and demanded "You know my father. I want answers." Yang pointed at the Dhampir "You're the one who killed Vlad. You're his son?" Alucard's eyes widen before steeling them and asked "What has he said about me? That I was a fool for believing in the good of humanity? That I was a horrible son?"

Ruby stepped forward and put her hands up "No, nothing like that. He's talked about how much of a good son you were. That he wants nothing more than to apologize for not being a better dad." Trevor spoke "That's bullshit." Sypha said "Dracula has caused countless deaths, yet you speak of him as if you're friends? He hates humanity." Yang replied "We know!" Pyrrha stepped up "He told us everything. Why he did it and what happened." Trevor asked "And why the fuck would he tell you everything?" Ruby answered the Vampire Hunter "To be better! He wanted to be better than who he was."

Alucard hesitated before lowering his sword completely and clarified "He wants to be better?" Ruby nodded which did not calm Trevor down because of his distrust of any sort of monster, or those who associate with them. "Trevor, put your toy away." Sypha ordered him, to which Trevor looked at her who lowered her arms "Are you kidding me, Sypha? You're going to believe them? For all we know, Dracula had placed them under a spell." Sypha spoke "Are you going to kill a bunch of teenagers for wanting to help? Even if it's for the enemy?" Trevor glared at her who crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him who sighed before wrapping up his whip and hooking it to his belt. "Fine, but I have my eyes on you all. My family has hunted him for generations so don't expect me to be so open armed as you all."

Everyone narrowed their eyes at him and Alucard looked at their necks to see a similar golden locket "Where did you get that?" He pointed. Ruby and Yang both looked down at their lockets and Ruby answered "Vlad gave us these." Ruby undid the chain then handed it to Alucard who opened it and saw his father along with Ruby, Yang and Weiss and Blake. He looked at Dracula who has never smiled before. "I've never seen him smile... Not that I can remember..." He handed the locket back to Ruby and Pyrrha spoke "Look perhaps we all got on the wrong foot. Let us introduce ourselves. I'm Pyrrha Nikos." "Hi, I'm Jaune Arc." "Nora Valkyrie!" To which she flexed her arms and had a wide grin. Ren simply bowed "Lie Ren." "I'm Yang Xiao Long and that's my baby sister, Ruby Rose."

Trevor commented "Colorful names." to which Sypha elbowed him in the side. Ren then spoke to Alucard "You know, I realized your name is Dracula spelled backwards." Yang looked at Ren then at Alucard "He didn't name you Alucard, right?" To which he shook his head and answered "No. My actual name is Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes. But I call myself Alucard to be the opposite of my father." Nora said "That's awesome!" Trevor stepped forward "I think me and Sypha-" "Sypha and I" Sypha corrected much to the annoyance of Trevor "I think I speak for some of us when I ask, How the fuck did your weapons do that!?"

Ruby immediately answered "We made these weapons ourselves!" Sypha had her jaw drop as she whispered in amazement "Amazing... The complexity of these machines." Yang spoke "Look, I would love to continue this, but we need to get going. You guys can tag along and chat along the way if you want." Trevor was intrigued as was Sypha and Alucard, all he could think of was finding his father. "We'd be honored. You are possibly our only hope of understanding what is going on. What year is it?" Ruby answered "2135" The trio had their jaws drop and eyes the size of dinner plates "Over 1,000 years..." Sypha said without a voice, only her breath. Her legs shook and she was about to collapse before Trevor grabbed her by her shoulders and held her steady.

Alucard looked at them and asked "Where is he on Earth?" Everyone looked at each other before Yang stepped forward and said "We're... Not on Earth, Adrian. We're in Remnant." Sypha promptly passed out to which Trevor kept a hold of her. He glared at her "Any more fucking shocking revelations you want to tell us?" Ruby looked guilty and rubbed her arm to which Jaune put a hand on her shoulder. Alucard took a deep breath then spoke "We'll stay with you, if you can help us understand this place and help get me closer to my father, I would be most appreciative." Ruby nodded and Alucard held his hand out to which Ruby took and shook.

Salem gazed at the body of Cinder that laid dead upon her table. She closed her eyes then placed her hand over Cinder's eyes, closing her eyes, giving her a more peaceful look. Emerald was trying her hardest, not to bawl her eyes out. She held her beloved's hand and only felt her cold skin as she pressed her lips gently against the fingers before letting them fall. Mercury lowered his head and put his hand on Emerald's shoulder in condolences. Tyrian could only give a silent giggle at the agonizing affection. Watts may have enjoyed antagonizing Cinder but to see her fall... Brought a smile to his face. Now that she was out of the way, they can focus on the next phase. Hazel simply lowered his head in respect. He always respected her fighting spirit but always knew that her arrogance would be her downfall.

Salem removed her hand and spoke "We grieve the death of our asset who died, accomplishing her mission. Beacon has fallen. Distrust is placed everywhere. Now, we move on to Haven." Emerald looked at the Dark Mistress and was going to say something but Mercury gripped her arm to shut her up. Salem looked at the pair "You two." They froze in fear and looked at her briefly before lowering their heads "You two will be Cinder's replacement. You will plan Haven's downfall." Emerald meekly asked "What do we do with Cinder?"

Two Beowolves growled as they crawled to the table and looked at Salem. "Feed her to the dogs." Both Beowolves growled as they grabbed Cinder by her feet and dragged her off the table and out of the room. Emerald cried out "NO!" Mercury grabbed her arms to restrain her as the Beowolves dragged her outside to a den. Emerald cried as she looked away but could hear the faint sound of flesh being torn and blood sprayed everywhere. Emerald could only cry as she collapsed on her knees with Mercury holding her in slight comfort. Salem ordered "Boy, get that street rat out of this room, her petty cries have no use here." Mercury quickly pulled her up and hauled her out of the room.

"Good riddance." Watts commented to which Salem hummed in agreement before telling Watts "Doctor Watts, you'll be in charge until Mercury and Emerald are ready." Watts bowed his head and Salem turned to Tyrian. "Tyrian, Spring can wait. Start your search for the silver-eyed girl. She may not recognize her powers but she is still a potential threat. I want her brought to me alive." Tyrian frowned at not being able to kill her but smiled anyway as it was the command of her goddess. Salem looked at Hazel "Hazel, meet up with Adam Taurus. He proves his loyalty well." Hazel nodded "Yes ma'am."

Arthur cleared his throat and asked "If I may interject, mi'lady? What about this Dracula? He's proven to be the greatest threat to us. What shall we do to him?" Salem suppressed a shudder before answering "That's where our new recruits come in."

Steps echoed throughout the hall before two people stepped into the room. It was Roman Torchwick in his new knightly armor. Roman had longer hair and his green eyes were brighter with slit iris. Neo had black business suit with red stripes. Her pink and brown hair was shortened to a bobcut with Roman's hat on her head. Her eyes were still pink and brown but now had cat-like slit iris, like Roman's. Roman bowed before Salem and spoke "I hear you have a Vampire King that's being a thorn in your side." All that could be seen is Roman's smirk and glowing green eyes.
