Hey guy! This is the gonna be the epilogue for Volume 5!
I am so overjoyed because next chapter is where another member of Team VRMN will join, Randy and Nomad are gonna see each other in this one while Mel will be seen in Volume 6, and I have a lot of work to do when I reach Volume 7 where I need to show Vic again.
I am also gonna be determined to finally give Randy and Nomad some action as they are only shown in small amounts of chapters and I need to change that.
It has been an honor for you guys to read this story so please enjoy today's chapter.
P.S The reason of nerfing the Pokémons is because I want to add more actions in the story, and them killing Grimms with one hit is very boring. Imagine Saitama but tame.

Chapter:36 The Ideal of One's Hope
Ruby and Yang are shown facing off against Emerald and Mercury. The sisters switch positions and leap forward to take on their opponents. Yang knocks into Emerald while Ruby takes on Mercury. He uses Talaria to kick Crescent Rose out of her hands.
"Uh oh, what're you gonna do now?" Mercury said sarcastically till Nomad intervene by kicking the assassin on his head with Knockoff and Knockout loaded.
"You should look around more," Nomad said as he then charge at Mercury again while Ruby grabbing Crescent Rose to help.
Meanwhile, Nora and Pyrrha are seen holding Magnhild, Miló, and Akoúo up respectively while protecting Jaune, who is still healing Weiss.
"You guys doing okay?" Nora asked.
"Yeah, just wish that this would go faster," Jaune said as he continued to heal the heiress.
"How about you don't complain and just be thankful you unlocked your Semblance when you did."
"I kinda do... I'm just confused."
"What do you mean? You are healing her dummy."
"No. I don't think I'm healing her. Our Aura heals our bodies. It feels... it feels more like I'm using my Aura to amplify hers!" Jaune said.
"And since you have a lot of Aura, you might have a chance to completely her," Pyrrha said as she feel overjoyed for her boyfriend's achievement.
Suddenly, Weiss opens up her eyes, stirring as she said, "Jaune?"
Nora smiles before standing guard again. Meanwhile, Ren, Tiny and Sumo are seen taking on Hazel, who punches Ren back into the wall along with the two heavy Pokemons despite their weight. Hazel then launches an electrical charge from his lightning-Dust enhanced arm, electrocuting Ren, Sumo and Tiny, causing the first two to scream in pain before falling to the ground while Tiny gave out a grunt of pain.
"Guys!" Nora called out in worry.
"Go! We've got her!" Jaune ordered as Nora nods at him before proceeding forward.
"Jaune... Pyrrha... what's happening?" Weiss asked.
"You took a heavy hit, you need to stay with us while the others fight," Jaune said as he doesn't want to explain the heiress about her near death.
"That's..." Weiss then sighs. "... annoying."
Jaune smiled and said, "Heh, good to have you back, Weiss."
Meanwhile, Qrow and Hunch are seen getting knocked back into the wall and then falls to the ground next to the downed Ren and Sumo, who are strugglinh to get back up as well. Oscar uses The Long Memory to block flaming rocks being fired from Stalwart. Hazel charges forward and to Oscar but Tiny took the hit and fell on his back because of the hit.
"Hiding behind the face of a child? A monster like you must be stopped!!" Hazel roared in anger.
Nora charges at Hazel with a loud battle cry. She leaps into the air, but Hazel catches Magnhild and slams Nora into the ground. Hazel then grabs Nora's head, electrocuting her with his lightning Dust-enhanced arms. She screams out in pain. Caimen was about to intervene till he remembered her Trainer's Semblance.
"How many more children must die for you?!" Hazel said till Nora suddenly grab his wrist. "Huh?"
Nora, inadvertently enhanced by Hazel's electricity thanks to her Semblance, stands back up and flips him over her shoulder. He rolls back several feet away. Nora then holds Magnhild up defensively while Caimen stood by her side, before Ozpin gets her attention.
"His Semblance... he can block out pain. It's how he is able to handle injecting so much Dust into his body," Ozpin warned her as Nora stares back at Hazel, who stands back up.
"I don't need him to hurt..." Nora said darkly as Caimen growled while showing his fangs. "I just need him to GO DOWN!!"
As Hazel nears her, Nora preps to swing Magnhild. She then swings her hammer right into Hazel's chest with Caimen using Waterfall and rammed himself onto the brute of a man, their counterattack launching him through the wall and outside onto Haven Academy's quad. Adam and White Fang soldiers look on.
"What's going on in there?" One of the soldiers asked Adam.
"None of your concern..." Hazel said as he then back up along with Caimen as the two went to a grappling match as both fighters tried to pin down their opponent. The White Fang were shock to see the Big Jaw Pokemon and instinctively walk back in fear. As the the continued to try pinning the other down, Ruby watch it all as she looks back to her friends and allies, all of them looking tired and worn out from the battle they've endured.
"Stay focused! Our friends are almost done here," Adam ordered as he and his followers get back to work, but then they hear a voice call out to him.
"ADAM!!!" They all look up and see Blake Belladonna standing proudly on top of the roof of a nearby building with her hair and cat ears are now a deep purple and her eyes are a beautiful green.
"Blake?" Adam said in confusion but also satisfaction.
"Stand down!" Blake ordered as White Fang soldiers aim their firearms at her.
"Wait!" Adam quickly ordered as he put his hands up as the White Fang soldiers stand down, before laughing evilly."
"This isn't what's right for the Faunus! Stop what you're doing and we can end this peacefully," Blake said.
"You're wrong, Blake, and you can't stop us."
"No, I can't. Not by myself."
"That's why she didn't come alone!" Adam and his followers turn to the left in surprise, seeing Sun, David and Yunero standing in front of a massive legion of Faunus all armed with blunt weaponry, their shields bearing the old White Fang symbol.
"What?!" Adam could say in shock.
"Who's there?" One of the enemy soldier said as they look to their right to see Ghira, Sienna and John leading another massive legion of Faunus.
"Your brothers and sisters," Ghira said while Sienna glared at them.
"I'm coming for you Adam," She said as she crack her knuckles.
One of the White Fang Soldiers lowers his weapon, recognizing one of the Faunus in the crowd.
"M-- Mata?" He could only stutter as the one named Mata is seen in the crowd holding a club and shield.
"Please... stop this..." Mata pleaded.
"Make no mistake, brothers! These are our enemies! And we will not let them ruin--" Adam was then cut off when a Mistral airship shines its searchlight down on Adam and his group. The Mistral police captain is seen on the airship with Kali, Randy, Lanaya, Drago, and Charles.
"Adam Taurus, this is the Mistral Police Force! Lower your weapons and surrender peacefully," The Mistral Police Captain said through the P.A.
They then feel the ground rumbling while the sky suddenly darkens as they look around to see the resident Pokemons of the area reaveal themselves to help save Haven.
More Mistral airships and Wild Pokemons arrive. Back inside, Ruby knocks Emerald back a few feet. Emerald then hears the sounds of the Mistral airships as their searchlights shine through the windows. Everyone stops what they are doing. Weiss leans up as Jaune continues healing her with Pyrrha guarding.
"What's happening?" Weiss asked.
"I'm not sure. How are you feeling?" Jaune asked as Weiss sit up.
"Better," She said as she activates a summoning Glyph in her hand. "Much better. Keep it up."
"You don't have to tell me twice," Jaune said as he continued healing her.
"Just be quick," Pyrrha said as she fired a shot to Leonardo so Oscar would have a chance.
Back outside, Blake lands to the ground from the roof.
"How?! How did you do this?!!" Adam shouted in anger.
"Adam, it's over," Blake said as Adam looks around as the crowds of Menagerie Faunus get closer to him and his group. He then pulls out a detonator.
"Then it's over for all of us," Adam said.
"Hey wait!" One of the enemy White Fang grunt tried to stop him but she and the other members hold up their arms as they brace for the impending explosion. Adam presses the button, but nothing happens.
"Huh?" Adam said in confusion as he presses the detonator button a few more times, nothing happens.
"What are you doing? Trying to get us all killed?!" One of his followers questioned him, but Adam suddenly grabs his collar.
"I am making humanity pay for WHAT THEY'VE DONE!!" Adam said in anger as he let's go and pushes the White Fang soldier back when Blake speaks.
"We sent someone over to confirm your explosives, and once we did, she disarmed them," Blake said as Ilia walks out from around the tower, dropping her black camouflage as she holds the wires in her hand that disabled the bombs. Adam seethes, realizing that the situation is no longer in his favor.
"What do we do?!" Adam called out to Hazel as the brute have Caimen in a headlock while the Feraligatr tried to bite him with his powerful jaw.
"This... is your business. Not mine. Fix it," Hazel said as Caimen then got out of his grip and the two continued to fight. Adam just glares back at him before turning to Blake.
"I told you, Adam. It's over..." Blake just said as she knows that they are victorious.
Adam, not having any of it, yells out in frustration and charges forward toward Blake. He takes out Wilt from Blush to slash at her, but Blake uses her Semblance to get out of the way and she knocks him down by balling her fists together with purple aura surrounding it, and hitting his back. Adam falls to the ground on his knees, before yelling out to his followers.
"KILL THEM!!!"
And thus, the battle between both Faunus groups begin. The White Fang soldiers draw their weapons and attempt to fire at the Mistral airships. Sun leaps around twirling Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in its staff form, landing on one's shoulders to shoot them. A Faunus with a club battles one soldier, while Ilia fights two more with Lightning Lash. Sun knocks another down before shooting at a second, nearby a horned Faunus strikes her opponent and drives them back. Yunero, David, and Lanaya are shooting them down with Snipe Shot, Pyro Ball, Psychic respectively, Randy went to his Specter form as he made a katana with ectoplasm with Charles, John, and Drago beside him.The Pokemons also helping along as they outnumber their opponents with their sheer numbers and variety of moves that easily bypass their defense. Hazel then pin down Caimen as he tried to choke him but he was suddenly impaled by a white, glowing stinger. He is then pulled back inside the building and sits up to see that Weiss is back on her feet with a summoned Queen Lancer flying above her. As she prepares to fight again, she gasps as she notices someone entering the building. Yang and Ruby look back as well and gasp when they see Blake, her eyes widening as she sees all ofher teammates in the same place.
"Yang?" Blake said as she still scared seeing her team.
Yang stares back at her in disbelief especially seeing her partner's new look, before her sister snaps her out of her trance.
"Yang! Go!" Ruby shouted to her as she points to the vault entrance. Yang runs forward. Emerald and Mercury try to stop her.
"No!" Emerald tried but fails and falls to the ground, Mercury tried to grab her but he was cut off by Nomad firing to their direction with Spark using Thunderbolt and Flora using Razor Leaf. Yang jumps down the hole leading to the vault. Emerald and Mercury attempt to give chase, but they are stopped by an ice wall that suddenly appears in front of them. They turn around and see Weiss with her Queen Lancer summon as she prepares to fight the both of them with Nora's and Nomad's Pokemons by her side. Jaune and Pyrrha watches from their position and smiles. Ruby then turns back around to look at Blake, and both nod at each other as the cat Faunus goes back outside to join the battle.
Back down in the vault, Cinder looks to the motionless Vernal.
"Vernal was a decoy the whole time," Cinder said as she then look at Raven. "The last Spring Maiden must've trusted you a great deal before she died. I bet that was a mistake..."
Raven growls and shoots Omen out of her hilt, and the two Maidens begin their battle against each other. They strike at each other with a flurry of vicious sword strikes. The two eventually clash, the strike breaking her weapon and the shrapnel hurting her Grimm arm. She holds her arm in pain.
"Aura can't protect your arm, it's Grimm," Raven said as Cinder pulls the shrapnel out of her arm and faces Raven again. "You turned yourself into a monster just for power."
Cinder then conjure another weapon while glaring as she said, "Look who's talking..."
The two proceed forward to clash again. During their bout, Raven quickly switches between the various colored blades in her hilt to counter Cinder's various weapons that she conjures. As their battle intensifies, Cinder conjures a giant flaming sword while Raven uses her Maiden powers to create a massive ice sword. Their clash creates a massive shockwave that shakes the cavern, with the combatants above ground also feeling the tremors. Due to their battle, the giant stalactites hanging from above start to drop. Both Maidens jump back to dodge out of the way. As Raven prepares for her next strike, Cinder's Grimm arm elongates through the dust and grabs Raven's neck. As the Grimm arm slowly drains her powers, Raven notices something and smirks. She sends out a frost-like attack from her palm and freezes Cinder's feet in place as more boulders from the cave in crash down on her. Raven, now free from her grip, does a massive leap into the air and lands on top of one of the falling stalactites. She looks down and notices Cinder survived the cave in, using her fire powers to fly up to her. The two fight their way around the falling stalactites. Eventually, the stalactites land back on the ground, and both Maidens are on their knees, panting in exhaustion while their Auras shimmer as they are about to break.
Raven stood up and said, "Had enough yet?"
"Shut up!" Cinder said as she growled
"If you were stronger or more clever, then maybe... you'd remember to watch your back!" Raven said as Cinder glares at her, wondering what the Spring Maiden is talking about, but then gasps as she looks behind her. She notices the dying Vernal aiming one of her weapons at her and fires. Cinder blocks the attack, but Raven quickly dashes up behind her and lands a devastating lightning attack on her face, shattering her mask and revealing the heavily scarred left side. The sheer force of the attack sends Cinder over the edge of the vault's walkway and above the abyss. She stares back up at Raven, who uses her powers to freeze the Fall Maiden into an ice statue. Cinder's frozen body falls down into the dark depths of the abyss, fading from view. Raven looks down as she watches her enemy continue plunging, before deactivating her Maiden powers and sighing.
"Thank you, Vernal," Raven solemnly said as Raven sadly looks over to the now-deceased Vernal, whose eyes remain open on her lifeless body. Raven walks over to Vernal's corpse and gently closes her eyes. Raven then proceeds to the Relic chamber's doorway. She activates her Maiden powers again and begins the process to unlock the chamber. Eventually, the door opens up, and on the other side, a massive desert is shown with a path leading to the Relic of Knowledge, which rests on a stone pedestal. Just as she's about to enter the chamber, Raven hears the sound of clicking and turns around to glare at her daughter landing behind her. Yang is shown doing a three-point landing pose and stands back up to face her mother.
Both mother and daughter then began their last talk together for now.
Outside on the quad of Haven Academy, The battle between the White Fang and the Menagerie Faunus as well as the Mistral police force continues. One of the Mistral airships shines its searchlight on three White Fang soldiers.
"Cease fire, immediately!" The police officer said through the P.A.
The three try to run away, but they are stopped by a combined group of Menagerie Faunus and Mistral policemen led Ilia. Eventually, two of the White Fang soldiers drop their weapons and hold their hands in the air to surrender when they are surrounded. The last White Fang soldier tries to fire his weapon, but a ghostly kunai hit the soldier's weapon and easily disarmed it as Randy, in his Specter Form, then jump into the fray and chop the soldier behind his neck with Ilia restraining him.
"Thank you," A Rabbit Faunus said to them with a smile.
Randy and Ilia looks at the rabbit Faunus and smiles and nods back. Elsewhere, Blake stands proudly over Adam, who was on his knees before standing back up.
"I'm going to make you regret ever coming back..." Adam as he seethes in rage.
"More police are on their way, Adam. Huntsmen too," Blake said to him as her hands were then covered with the Dark aura.
Adam chuckled evilly and said, "Still too afraid to face me on your own."
"I'm here for Haven, not you," Blake said.
Angered, Adam points Blush at Blake with Wilt in his left hand, while Blake draws Gambol Shroud as the blade covered itself with the Dark aura.
"Heh, you are still afraid, and you should be. I've made powerful friends while you've been away," Adam said mockingly.
"Oh yeah?" Adam look to his left as Sun and David approaches him with Sun holding Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in its staff form while David toss a small pebble in the air.
"Where?" Sun said as David chuckles.
Adam then point Wilt as Sun and said, "Tell me, does Blake make all of her classmates fight for her?"
"Nah, it's a volunteer gig. I'm just sayin', for someone who claims to have such great friends, there doesn't seem to be a lot of people here willing to fight for you," Sun said.
Adam looks around, seeing his followers surrendering to the overwhelming numbers of forces Blake brought with her, only proving Sun's point right. A searchlight then shines down on him.
"Busted bull boy," David said as he and Sun high five each other.
"You can try and make me regret coming here, Adam, but honestly... I've got more important things to deal with," Blake said as Adam lets out a frustrated growl and swings his sword at Sun, but the monkey Faunus counters his attacks by swinging his shotgun nunchucks. Adam then blocks Blake's sword swings as she comes at him, followed up by Adam getting knocked away by Sun. Adam bolts, with Sun giving chase. Adam runs away into the bushes and trees while Sun moves to follow, but Blake calls out to him.
"Sun, wait!"
"But he's getting away! We could take him!" Sun said as Blake sheathes her katana.
"No, we can't. He wants to lure us away so he can pick us off. We need to protect the school and the people here. Besides... now he can see what it feels like to run away," Blake said as she then smiled. "Thank you, the two of you."
Both of them smiled as Sun said, "Eh, we all need help sometimes."
"I kinda want to hit him with a Pyro Ball but maybe next time," David said as he then threw the pebble away.
Sun's attention is then drawn to Haven's Great Hall where he, David, and Blake see their friends and allies fighting off their enemies.
"I think there's a few people who could use yours," Sun said as he is about to run off to help finish the fight, but Blake stops him before he leaves.
"Be careful," Blake said.
"Don't worry I'll be watching him," David said as Sun pouts and punched the Cinderace Faunus on the shoulder.
"Not cool," Sun said as David laugh.
Sun and David then run off as Blake smiles at their last remark, before she too runs to finish the fight. Back inside the Great Hall, Hazel launches fireballs from his fists with his fire-Dust enhanced arms at Weiss' summoned Queen Lancer with the Pokemons giving some support. The Lancer, Bacchus, and Monarch dodges out of the way of the blasts as Weiss fires at Hazel with her Glyphs. Meanwhile, Team JNPR and Nomad defend themselves from Mercury and Emerald's shots with the rest of Pokemons helping them as well.
Jaune quickly move away from the gunfire with Pyrrha, Wooly and Ferno, and said, "You guys okay?"
Ren coughs while Nora groans in exhaustion as Sumo and Tiny are blocking the shots.
"Surviving," Ren said.
"I don't know how that big guy is still standing. He recharges his Aura faster than I've ever seen!" Nora said.
"Easy for you to say," Nomad said as he and Rubble the Aggron also taking cover as the Iron Armor Pokemon fired an Ice Beam back. "You guys are getting pummeled while I'm getting shot! I can't use my Semblance if I'm only getting shot!"
Oscar watches Qrow fly in with his bird form, before transforming back into his usual self while Hunch was launched by a powerful punch from the brute.
"He's sheer willpower," Qrow said as he grunts in pain along with Hunch.
A blast lands near Oscar who quickly takes cover behind a nearby column.
"We just need to get him to his limit!" Ozpin called out to them.
The Queen Lancer summon is then shown firing projectiles at Leonardo with Wooly, Spark and Ferno, as the Headmaster defends himself with Stalwart. He then knocks the them away with a flame torrent coming from his weapon except for the Legendary Pokemon, but Hazel uses the opportunity to launch a combined fire and lightning attack which causes the Lancer summon to dissipate and the three Pokemons to step back from the two elemental attacks. Weiss stares in shock as her summon disappears. Suddenly, Blake jumps in and kicks Hazel to the ground with Dark aura surrounding her leg before jumping next to Weiss and Ruby.
"Are you hurt?" Blake asked in concern as the two look at her change of looks.
"N- No! I just remembered you being more of the quiet one," Weiss pointed out.
"What happened to your eyes and hair?" Ruby asked.
"Tell you later," Blake said as she saw Hazel, Emerald, and Mercury slowly advance toward the three of them. "Not today."
Blake draws Gambol Shroud, while Ruby holds up Crescent Rose as Loafer, Spark, Flora and Drummer stood behind them, ready for battle.
"Alright," Weiss said as she hold Myrtenaster defensively. "Well, what's the plan, Ruby?"
Ruby nods as Lionheart tries to aim Stalwart from his perch, but Ruby shoots at his shoulder. His Aura flickers before Lionheart runs out of the room through the doors behind him in fear.
"You've gotta be kidding me..." Mercury said as Hazel lets out a fearsome roar, while Emerald and Mercury silently watch him. Ruby calls out their team attack.
"Checkmate!"
Blake and Weiss run forward, followed closely behind by their leader while the Pokemons called out their names in defiance as they charge in as well to fight.
Down in the vault, Yang faces Raven.
"I warned you, Yang. I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Qrow and Oz. So you can believe me when I say this wasn't personal," Raven said as Yang glares at her.
"You opened the vault," Yang said with a hint of anger.
"Thanks to the chaos you and your friends caused upstairs. I knew you could handle it. You're my daughter after all."
"Qrow and Oz told me how the Maiden powers are transferred. The girl you found... she would've had to have trusted you if you were in her final thoughts - cared about you a lot."
"I'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed."
"No, I'm starting to ask questions like you said. So tell me... what happened to the last Spring Maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness?"
"What does it matter to you?" Raven said as Yang's eyes widen.
"She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for this world! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did--
"Wasn't personal," Yang quoted.
"It was mercy!" Raven rebutted.
"Which is it, mom? Are you merciful, or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into that trap because you knew I could handle it, or because it meant you could get what you wanted?!"
"It's not that simple. You don't know me, you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make!"
"You're right. I don't know you. I only know the Raven dad told me about. She was troubled, and complicated, but she fought for what she believed in, whether it was her team or her tribe! Did you kill her too?" Yang said as Raven eyes widen and looks away, before turning back to face her daughter again.
"I've stared death in the face over and over again!" Raven said in anger as she activates her Maiden powers. "And every time I'vespatin that face and survived, because I'm strong enough to do what others won't!!"
"Oh, shut up!! You don't know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself!!" Yang said as she balled her fists which began to shake as she then points at her mother. "You might be powerful, but that doesn't make you strong."
"Who do you think you are, lecturing me?!Standing there, shaking like a scared little girl?!" Raven yelled in rage.
"Yeah, I'm scared. But I'm still standing here!" Yang then approaches Raven. "I'm not like you, I won't run, which is whyyou'regoing to give me the Relic."
"And why would I--"
"Because you're afraid of Salem!!!And if you thought having Maiden powers put a target on your back, imagine what she'll do when she finds out you have a Relic," Yang rebutted as Raven turns way, seething. "She'll come after you with everything she has..." Raven's expression then turned solemn. "Or she can come after me." Raven's eyes widen in shock when she heard it, before looking back to Yang. "And I'll be standing there, waiting for her."
After a tense moment, Raven deactivates her Maiden powers.
"You don't want to do this, Yang," Raven said solemnly.
"Nope. But I'm gonna do it anyway," Yang said as she walks forward, bumping her mother out of the way as she passes her. Raven looks down before turning to see her daughter approach the Relic chamber. A tear drips from Raven's eye.
"I... I'm sorry," Raven said as she hold her arms as tears well up in her eyes.
Tears also well up in Yang's eyes as well and said, "Yeah... Me too."
Yang then hears the sound of one of Raven's portals as well as the sound of flapping wings from behind her. She looks behind her and sees a black feather fall gently to the ground. Yang then proceeds forward and enters the Relic chamber. She approaches the Relic of Knowledge - an ornate, gold and cyan lamp - as it rests on the stone pedestal. Yang grabs the Relic by its handle, and small, indistinct whispers can be heard when near it. Tears then stream from Yang's eyes, before she falls to her knees as she breaks down crying.
Back above ground, Lionheart bursts into his office and runs behind his desk, frantically opening drawers trying to look for something. Suddenly, he hears ominous clicking noises, and looks up to notice a Seer floating menacingly in front of his desk. A familiar voice comes from it.
"And where might you be going?" Salem asked as Leonardo began to stammer.
"Uh, your grace!" Leonardo said as he nervously chuckles. "I was just looking for something."
"Leonardo, do you have something you wish to tell me?"
Lionheart doesn't say anything for a bit, before telling Salem his response.
"It was Cinder! She altered the plan! Huntsmen showed up here! Qrow! Several students, one with the Silver Eyes! The White Fang attack, it was stopped! I don't know that they'll be able to recover the Relic..." Leonardo began to think and continued. "Your grace, I can still be of assistance!! If I leave now, I-- I can avoid the authorities and come find you, I'll do whatever it takes! Your grace?"
Out of options, Lionheart aims his weapon at the Seer, but it uses one of its tentacles to knock it off his wrist. Lionheart tries to run, but the Seer wraps one of its tentacles around Lionheart's ankle, causing him to trip and fall.
"Please, ma'am! I'll do anything! I can still be useful!!" Leonardo begged pathetically.
The Seer aims its sharp tentacles at Lionheart. He tries to crawl away, but more tentacles wrap around his body.
"Please!! PLEEEAAASE!!!!" Despite his pleas, Lionheart is dragged towards the Seer out of view. The sound of a stab can be heard as Leonardo weakly said, "Please..."
Then is followed by another stab.
In Vale, Seier is currently in her and her family's apartment as she have multiple paintings beside her that showed all of her visions, and currently paint one of them.
Suddenly, she gasps in shock as another vision showed itself in her mind.
She could hear it as well, the sound rumbling and roars of many creatures. The sea raging, the land shaking, the sky rumbling as everything prepared for battle. Prepared for war.
Seier then quickly put down the canvas in front of her as she put another and began to sketch a new one.
"An all out war, the elements rages, darkness and light fighting for dominance, the witch and the wizard's final battle, a new age of peace but the appearance of a new evil," Seier muttered as she continued sketching till the last piece came in her mind. "But from where?"
Seier then stop sketching as she look on the base and could tell that it is quite rough to look at but it has the main concept of everything she said but its unfinished.
"Whatever happens now is decided by fate," Seier muttered as she look to another to see her daughter sleeping peacefully. "What could have it in store for us."
Back at Haven, Oscar is seen bracing himself on his cane with U. Pichu near an exhausted Qrow and Hunch while Ruby and her friends hold off their opponents, who are all exhausted as well.
"That's enough! Just give up," Ruby said as Mercury snarls and yells in frustration, slamming his fist into the ground but Flora intervene by using Leaf Blade.
"It's not over! Cinder will come back, she'll have the Relic, and she'll stop all of you! She won't let us down," Emerald said as the platform leading to the vault is heard coming back up. Everyone stares as Yang comes back up with the Relic of Knowledge in her hand. Emerald looks in surprise as Cinder didn't come back up. All of Yang's friends look up to her and smile.
"Yang..." Ruby said as she felt overjoyed that her sister is okay.
Hazel seethes while tears stream from Emerald's eyes. Yang smiles back down to her friends and shares a brief glance with Blake, who looks down for a bit before looking back up to her. Emerald falls to her knees and begins to sob. Mercury and Hazel slowly back away.
"Emerald, get up, we need to go," Mercury said but Emerald shakes her head and remains stationary. "Emerald!"
Emerald looks around as her breathing gets frantic. She holds her head and lets out a loud scream, activating her Semblance. Suddenly, the room turns dark as black smoke rises from the ground nearby. From it, a giant effigy of Salem, limbs bent and deformed, towers above everyone in the room. The giant Salem opens her eyes, and lets out an ear-piercing scream as it swoops down over everyone as everything went dark for a moment. Afterwards, everything returns to normal, Ruby shakes in fear as she comes to terms with what she had just witnessed. Everyone in the room is still present, with the exception of Emerald, Mercury and Hazel, who have disappeared.
"Wha-- what was that?" Blake said as she stammered.
"An illusion. But an accurate one. That... was Salem," Ozpin said as it followed by silence till Nomad breaks it with his rumbling stomach.
Nomad blushed in embarrassment and said, "Sorry."
A few minutes later, Blake sighs in relief now that the battle is over in Haven, before she hears the sounds of her parents and Sun run into the great hall. The Belladonnas share a hug together while Sun looks on.
"The police rounded up the remaining White Fang members. Haven is safe," Kali said.
"Unfortunately, it appears that Adam escaped," Ghira said as everyone look down.
"It's okay," Ilia then came inside the building as she walk over to them with Yunero and David beside her. "He was the only one to escape tonight. Those in the White Fang that followed him? Won't support a leader that abandons his people. He won't have their help after this. He'll have no one at all. And the White Fang will be left divided."
"We've been fighting amongst ourselves for too long. Perhaps it's time for a new brotherhood. A new family for Faunus truly working towards a better world," Ghira said.
"And they'll need a new leader," Kali added.
"And we don't think Sienna will take the position anytime soon," David added his two cents.
Ghira nods in acknowledgement. Sun peeks behind Ghira and notices his old friends from Beacon, waving to them. He then wraps his tail around Blake to turn her around and have her see her old friends too. She slowly walks towards them nervously while Sun and her parents smile. Yang walks down the stairs and hands the Relic to her uncle.
"What happened?" Qrow asked.
"I don't know exactly. When I got down there, Cinder was gone, and Vernal was dead," Yang said.
"And Raven?"
"Gone."
"Well, we're all glad you're still here, firecracker," Qrow said as he place an assuring hand on her shoulder.
Suddenly, Ruby groans and falls to her knees. Weiss and Wooly catches her.
"Are you okay?" Weiss asked in worry along with Wooly.
Ruby sighs and said, "I feel like I should be asking you guys."
They both look up to see Blake approaching them. Yang walks over and drops to her sister's side while Wooly quickly left to be with his Trainer's side.
"So Blake, what're you doing here?" Ruby asked as the Cat stammered.
"I... I was gonna ask you three the same thing," Blake said nervously as Ruby, Weiss, and Yang, share glances with each other.
"That's... a looooong story," Their leader said.
"Well... I'm not going anywhere," Blake said to them as Ruby smiled.
"That's all that matters," Ruby said as she giggled. "That we're all here together. Right?"
Ruby looks to Yang as she says that. Blake briefly looks away with a sorrowful expression on her face. Yang looks up at her and smiles.
"Yeah," Yang said as Blake looks back over to them and smiles. Weiss offers a hand out to her, and the cat Faunus eagerly joins in to Team RWBY's first group hug after a long time of being apart. The four girls embrace each other while their friends look on smiling. Qrow, still holding the Relic, then approaches a panting Oscar with Hunch and U. Pichu, who is kneeling on the ground.
"I don't know how, but we did it, Oz. You okay?" Qrow asked as U. Pichu quickly went to Oscar's side.
"I'm alright," It was Oscar's voice he heard which means the farmhand finally gain control again.
"Kid?"
"He's resting. Too much energy fighting," Oscar said as he pants.
"Hey, don't strain yourself!" Qrow said in worry as U. Pichu hug Oscar.
"No! He had... a message..." Oscar said as he took a few more pants. "We must... get the lamp to... Atlas."
Oscar groans and falls, but Qrow catches him. He lays the exhausted farm boy on the ground and looks over as Team RWBY finishes their embrace. Qrow then stands back up, and looks to the Relic he holds in his hand. The lamp is seen glowing brightly as the indistinct whispers are heard again. Qrow sighs as he look to Hunch and U. Pichu and could only think of the future.
And that is it for this chapter.
Oh boy, Volume 6 is next and I am quite excited for this story to continue.
Victory through Remnant is basically the star of my account and would probably be till the end, while Arc Music Album and Watching the Elements is my only thing to let out my ideas along with Pokemon Honor and Pride, but VTR is probably my only story that let me follow my favorite show and make my own version.
Speaking of following shows, there isn't really that much of them at all! When I search on Google for any transcripts on other series but their is none except for RWBY!
You heard me, only RWBY. I really can't believe that I only have RWBY as my only source of even creating this story. Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, and etc. There are no transcripts on them!
Imagine a deaf person literally want to make a story but got no way to make one because he/she can't even hear what they are even watching and have to rely on subtitles that is too quick to even see, read other stories to get some parts but you can't add some of them because those stories doesn't follow the main story, and lastly transcripts which is very much limited in the internet.
Because of this, people will began to doubt themselves when they make their stories because they have to remember their favorite shows but have a hard time to even doing it, you can't really expect someone to remember a whole series that lasted for decades now and expect them to continue make them.
Expectations is what the reader wants but knowing they suddenly give up because of being stressed is the result of this, having the brain power literally to remember your favorite series is pretty much difficult when you don't have something to help making it.
Manga is another option but its very much a difficult one to do because you literally need to spend money for those mangas, but can't if the manga is very expensive or not even in sale.
I mostly live in the countryside and have no way of gaining money so I can't really buy one. I am a 17 year old teen that was held back by a year because I am big cry baby when I was a kid, I have classes with kids below my age so I kinda follow their mindsets, and I don't have any way to even change that. I am not saying that I hate it because of it since that is how I met my best friend, Mel, but I kinda feel more childish than them.
That is kinda why I prefer more on the artistic side because I really don't like doing those complex stuff, and I kinda prefer more on something that takes a lot of effort but needed more time.
But enough of my life story, I just telling you that there should be more transcripts on other series, so I hope that you enjoy this story.
Vic out Peace.
