The Emerald Forest.

"I hope they're close, we have a lost of forest to go through." Yang commented, "I'd say that they're on the move, you know, after all they killed someone." Blake replied, "Whatever they're doing, we need to bring them in for questions" Winter told the two.

Weiss was trailing slightly behind, not being able to stop thinking about what Shakara said, she had to make a choice, but she didn't know what, "Just what did she mean? I have nothing to choose..." Weiss thought, trying to calm herself down, "Weiss, are you okay? You've been silent the whole way" Ruby said, "Uh!? Oh, uhh... Yeah I'm fine, just thinking about things." Weiss responded, hoping Ruby would buy it.

"Look at that!" Blake exclaimed, pointing to a crater that was just like the one outside Beacon, but this time they saw what caused it, "This is proceeding wonderfully!" The black figure that created the crater said, but soon noticed that someone was watching him, "hmm? Oh look at that! More little victims!" The figure said cheerfully.

On a roof in Vale.

Oracle was analizying the air to find the same frequency that the magic in front of Beacon had, "What do you think these craters are for?" Shakara asked, "Nothing good, that's for sure" Oracle replied monotonously, "Well, of course, but like, what are they supposed to do? As in, if Shade just wanted to destroy everything, than why only make holes all over the place." Shakara clarifired what she meant, "In that meaning, it might be a lot of things..." Oracle responded.

"Okay... Mind giving me an example?" Shakara asked before thinking "Sometimes I feel like she's denser than when we first met her...", Oracle looked at Shakara and replied "They might be geysers to spread dark magic all over the place, maybe teleportation spots, or maybe-! There's a spike in dark magic coming from over-" Oracle was interrupted by an explosion coming from the Emerald Forest "There..." She continued less enthusiastically.

The two started running to see what happened in the area.

Back with Team Rwby.

Shade created a sphere made of dark magic and then threw it to the group, causing the explosion that Oracle and Shakara saw, every Atlesian Knight that were in the area got destroyed, creating a scrapyard, and the humans of the group passed out.

A bit later, Oracle and Shakara arrived at the place, "Of course they're here... Why can't they keep their noses out of our problems?" Shakara asked nobody in particular, "Technically it is, every single world is in danger if Shade does what he wants" Oracle reminded her.

While the two were talking, Blake woke up and saw the two standing there, "You're here..." She shakingly said, Oracle and Shakara turned to her and walked closer, "I honestly didn't expect anyone to be still alive here, seeing... This." Oracle commented, "I think we found what you were looking for..." Blake said, "You saw Shad- well of course you did, why am even asking that?" Shakara realized looking at the black crater.

A bit later, everyone else woke up, "So you're the one who killed dad?" Winter asked, "Yes, and I don't regret it for a moment." Shakara replied, "Okay, but you got a lot to answer to, why did you do it? He attacked your Kingdom, but you could have easily forgiven him and let off with a warning, there's more to this, isn't there?" Winter questioned further, "...How much do you want to know? Ah, don't reply, I'll start from the beginning: The thing that attacked you is Shade, probably the most evil creature in my world" Shakara explained.

"Okay... What doesthat have to do with killing Jacques?" Blake asked, "I was getting there! Anyways, he was sealed by my Grandma and he has been for the past three million years, until that oversized Q-tip freed him, if someone stays alive, I won't be able to sleep at night." Shakara finished her explanation, "That's quite the story, I understand why you did that now, but I have another question: What choice do I have to make?" Weiss asked confusing everyone else there.

Shakara looked at her amused, "Actually, everyone has to choose, but I guess you guys already did, side with me or with Shade" She said, "Well with Shade of course, he just almost killed us!" Yang said sarcastically, "Sarcasm detected, along with movement coming this way" Oracle said.

At that moment, Ozpin and Ironwood, followed by Raven, Glynda and an army of Atlesian knights arrived at the place, "We lost conctact with all the units what's goin-... Oh I see..." Ironwood said, "You two! You're the ones who destroyed the... Camp..." Raven wassayng but stopped when she saw Yang there, "To be fair, you were basically threatening to kill us, so I think we're even." Shakara reminded her with a smirk, "Also, I don't I like you..." She then added with a way less entusiastic look.

"Another one of those puddles... So you were the one who made this?" Ozpin asked Shakara who shook her head and replied, "No, no, no, but this puddle is the reason we're all here, the one who made this, is also the one who destroyed all those inferior models, and the one who almost killed these guys." Oracle clarified what happened, only to get a disappointed look from Raven, "That only means you guys were too weak, you would have won if you were strong enough." She said with an annoyed look.

Yang was about to say something, but Shakara beat her to it due to how enraged she was at that comment, so enraged that it made her transform into her Hell Diamond form, "Now listen here you wench! You don't talk about Lemus, my ancestor or Oracle like that! understand!? If you really have the guts to talk like that, than you have the strength to back it up, fight me! Right here! Right now!" Shakara challenged, changing her crystallized arm into a blade, "So you have choosen this Shakara... Try not to hurt her too badly, like her or not, we need all the help we can get." Oracle reminded her.

"...If it gets me one step closer to make the world realize the right way to live, than fine" Raven said as she prepared her sword, "Wait! You two can't fight right now!" Ruby exclaimed trying to get the two to stop, "Step back, once Shakara gets like this, the only thing that will get her to stop, is unleashing the anger she feels." Oracle explained as she pulled Ruby back, "What I going to happen exactly?" Yang asked.

Oracle looked at her and replied "A lot of pain.", before Shakara swinged the arm she turned in a blade against Raven's sword, breaking it in half, "What the-" Raven was exclaiming, but got interrupted by Shakara laughing maniacally, "It seems you were right! The strong live and the weak die!" Shakara exclaimed as she inched closer to Raven who tried using her Maiden's power to hurt Shakara, but failed miserably.

At this point, the only thing Raven could do, is step back slowly, fearing the inevitable, but she fell as she stepped back, and she could not move anymore, in that state, Shakara raised her arm and was about to slice her head off.

Raven screamed in fear "NOOO! DON'T KILL ME!", she didn't expect that to actually work, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that Shakara was walking away, back in her normal state, "Don't forget that fear." Was the last thing Raven heard from Shakara as the latter motioned for Oracle to follow her.

This one act of mercy, made Raven realize that she had a lot to think about.
