"Oracle, track Shade's position immediatly!" Shakara exclaimed, but Oracle was a step ahead, "I registered the presence of the forcefield he's locked in, in case something like this happened" She said as she started leading Shakara to where Shade was.
Shakara took a moment to call the Meteor Staff to herself, she had a feeling she would need it, "Let's go!" She exclaimed as Oracle started running.
Atlas.
"I like this place, too bad we might have to destroy it." Shakara commented, "Shakara, focus, we have a bigger problem on our hands." Oracle reminded, "Yeah, I know, I'm just trying to keep positive, if these guys managed to somehow break through the forcefield containing Shade, then all of existence would be in trouble." Shakara said as they approached a large building in which it seemed there was party.
Schnee Manor.
Weiss was arguing with her father, trying to make him understand that everything he was doing was more than awful, but he didn't listen instead he was going to slap her, but before he could even raise his hand, and explosion of fire came from the main entrance, this explosion was caused by Shakara who became irate by the time they reached the manor, "Shakara?" Weiss asked, but was surprised to see that her lion eared friend rushed to her father and grabbed him by the throat.
"So you're the one who took him..." Shakara muttered, "T-Took what?" Jacques asked, struggling to breathe, but Shakara got madder and Oracle was also starting to lose her cool, "You know what you took! Dont' think you can lie your way out of this! Not after attacking my Kingdom!" Shakara screamed, making almost everyone in the room gas, but the one most shocked was Weiss, she knew her father was awful, but this is worse than she thought.
The people around were talking against what Shakara said, they didn't want to believe that the one who promised to make Remnant better would do something like that, "...It seems you brainwashed these guys quite hard... But I know everything you did, I met one of those you marked, he told me everything, and you know, I kind of want to help him get a payback."
Jacques was confused by that, but got a bit scared when Shakara put her hand in front of his face, "...Hell on Earth" She said firmly, and at that moment, Jacques burst into flames with him screaming in pain, but that soon stopped as the flames subsided, revealing a charred skeleton.
This brought panic upon everyone, they were screaming and running away, but Weiss could just look at the black skeleton which was once her father, "Weiss, I know that he was your father, but know that everything you do from now on, will be your choice, make your decision, and act on it, because once you start, you won't be able to go back" Shakara warned, knowing the conflict that was going on in her head.
"Surely you realize that this means that this means war." Someone said from behind Shakara, she turned around and saw Ironwood there, "It's worth it, soon everyone here will realize that this was the right course of action" Shakara responded.
Ironwood closed his eyes and turned around to walk away, while Shakara followed Oracle to find where they put Shade, but when they arrived at the place where he supposedly was, they saw nothing there, "This is the last location of the forcefield I could register, that means..." Oracle said implying that the worse was going to happen, "We need to find him before it's too late, he couldn't have gone far." Shakara said before running outside the manor.
Beacon.
"So Jacques was killed..." Ozpin asked Ironwood through his scroll, "That's correct, and I believe you can guess who did it." James replied, "Do you know why she did it?" Ozpin questioned, "Apparently he attacked her Kingdom, that seems like a fair reason to be angry." James explained, "That's for sure, but I doubt we'll be able to convince anyone that she is in the right." Ozpin said, "That's true, but it will happen, until it does though, we'll have to fight her... This can only end bad..." James commented, "I hope it ends soon." Ozpin added.
With Team Rwby.
They were in their dorms, except for Weiss, she was still in the Manor, but the other three were worried, "Weiss went to the party her father had, do you think she's okay?" Ruby asked worriedly, " They said only Jacques was killed, so she's probably fine" Blake replied, "What I don't understand is why Shakara did it" Yang wondered, "So you're just going to think that Shakara was the one who killed him?" Blake asked, "She's the only one who fits the description they gave, I only hope she has a good explanation." Yang responded.
In that moment, Weiss entered the dorm accompanied by her sister, "Weiss! You're okay!" Ruby exclaimed as she went to hug Weiss tightly, "Yeah... I'm fine..." Weiss replied in a monotone voice, "You don't sound okay" Blake said, "Our father was literally killed in front of her, how do you think she's feeling?" Winter asked in a saddened tone.
What she didn't know, is that Weiss wasn't like that because of the death of Jacques, but because of what Shakara said "Make your decision", "What decision was she talking about? Which side to take?" Weiss wondered, beforean explosion came from outside the academy.
"What the-!?" Ruby exclaimed, "It better not be who I think it is..." Yang muttered, before they started running to the courtyard, when they got there, the only thing they saw was a giant hole filled with a thick black substance, "Who did this...?" Winter asked, "It certainly wasn't Shakara that's for sure." Blake answered, "Who?" Winter asked, "The one who made the White Fang turn a new leaf, and the one who killed our father..." Weiss replied.
The others were quite shocked at hearing this, Winter because of the White Fang part, the other three because of the confirmation, "So it was her..." Yang said, "Yeah... But before she killed him, she said that he attacked her Kingdom." Weiss explained, "Of course he did..." Winter muttered, facepalming at her fathers stupidity, "You're just going to believe her!?" Blake asked, "Jacques wasn't the best person, he was downright awful, attacking a kingdom isn't to hard to believe" Winter explained.
This cleared up a few things, but there was another problem at hand, "But what is this stuff anyway?" Ruby asked, "No clue, we never had any reports talking about something even similar to this." Winter said, "Now that I think about it , Shakara said something about dad taking someone, maybe it was him?" Weiss suggested, "Maybe..." Blake said.
White Fang HQ.
"Jacques Schnee was killed? By who?" Sienna asked Adam, "Apparently it was the same girl who came here a few months ago" He replied, "Do you know why she did it?" Sienna asked, "No" Adam replied.
Anima, Branwen Tribe.
Raven was in her tent sleeping, but was soon woken up by Vernal who had terrible news, "Raven! We're in a lot of trouble!" She yelled, making Raven sit up almost instantly, "What?" She asked, "Something has kicked up a ruckus in Atlas, apparently Jacques Scnhee was killeb by someone" Vernal explained.
"How does that affect us?" Raven asked, "This someone is apparently searching for something, and they might come to the camp for it." Vernal said, "So what? We'll just survive this like everything else" Raven said, "That won't be possible, it seems that the one who killed Jacques was able to completely turn him to ashes and carbonized his skeleton." Vernal clarified.
This made Raven tense up a bit, she never heard of anyone being able to do something even close to that, "Get everyone ready for the possible attack" Raven ordered and Vernal complied, "This might be the worst catastrophe Remnant has ever faced..."
Shakara said that Weiss has to make a choice, but will it matter? Or bette, what does she have to choose? A lot is at stake here, but more importantly, every single world that was involved with this dimensional mess risks destruction, and no one can do anything about it... Maybe...
