White Fang HQ.
"There are new information" Adam said as he entered Sienna's office, "More about the one who killed Jacques?" She guessed, but Adam gave a negative answer "No, apparently there are some kind of black craters popping around Remnant, and out of them there are weird rock formations coming out." He explained this, causing Sienna to get confused, "Some kind of enviromental change?" she asked, "That's what I thought too at first, but then I heard the rest, they said that from these craters, an incredible amount of malice was coming out." Adam continued explaining.
Sienna wondered what was going on exactly, but then one of the scouts that were sent to investigate entered the office, "Boss, during investigation we found that the same girl that came here months ago is searching for something." He said making Sienna understand what to do, "Adam, we're going to find her." She said as she got up from her chair.
Vacuo.
Shade was flying over the city and he stopped right above it to look at what to do next, "This seems like the perfect place to create a new dark mountain!" He thought to himself as he created a ball of dark magic in his hand, he was about to throw it, but then noticed that something changed in the magic he was outputting, "This feels familiar... Destruction magic? Don't know where it came from, don't care! Only makes my job easier" He said outlide as he the ball down to the city.
Meanwhile, in the streets of Vacuo, a certain monkey faunus was walking with his blue haired friend, "You know, Blake told me about a girl she met." The monkey faunus said, "Really? Is she pretty?" The blue haired guy asked, "She's married, but I didn't mention her to get your hopes up, rather because Blake said that she's from one of the world that were fused into ours" The monkey faunus explained, "What? Why were they here?" Was all the blue haired guy could say before an explosion went off in another part of the city.
The two of them went to check what it was and when they arrived, they saw that there was nothing left there, just what could be best described as a purple desert, "How-" The monkey faunus was about to ask, but another explosion went off nearby and this time, they saw the part of the town disintegrating into sand, "What's going on!?" The blue haired guy asked, "I don't know, but until we find out, we should probably run" The moneky faunus said.
Beacon.
"What do you mean Vacuo was destroyed!?" Ironwood yelled into his scroll at the information, the others that were there were shocked too, the city was fine just a few hours ago and now they learned it was no more, "Destroyed? Surely you're joking, right? RIGHT!?" Glynda asked Ironwood in a panic.
Ironwood put his scroll away before answering "No, it's true, after only a few explosions, it was destroyed." He said this with clear anger in his eyes, "It must have been the thing that Shakara is looking for, do you have any other information?" Ozping asked, hoping that more was known, "The only other notable thing is that some kind of purple dust was found where the city once was, those who brought the report in said that they weere able to get a sample of it before a mountain sprouted from it." Ironwood explained.
What they didn't know, is that Shakara and Oracle were behind the door, listening to everything, but when they heard 'purple dust', they decided to wait only a bit more before barging in the room, Shakara wasted no time in grabbing Ironwood by his collar, "I need to see that dust." Was the only thing she said before Oracle grabbed her shoulder to make her calm down.
"...How did you know we were here?" Glynda asked, "We have our ways, and by that I mean we followed you." Oracle explained, "That answers that, but what you must answer now is: Why do you want to see that?" Ozpin questioned, "We have a few questions before we answer that: Where is your wife? And where is old crow?" Shakara asked making Ozpin sigh, "Salem is trying to get used to liing like a normal human, as for Raven, she's having a talk with her daughter, now answer" Ozpin pressed further.
Shakara began explaining what could be happening "You see: The first time I met Shade, it was when we were on vacation, he managed to absorb the power of destruction, but mom defeated him before he could do anything with it.", this information made the three humans get confused, "Before you speak, let me explain what destruction is in our world, it's basically one of the absolute powers, what it does, is that it deletes everything it touches without any hope of bringing it back, there are some things that can fix it, but the point is that it deletes things by transforming them into null dust." Shakara continued.
This raised some flags of course, "Wait, wait, wait, you're telling us that this thing you're chasing has, what you just called, an absolute power that casues the world to change permanently?" Ironwood summarized, "Basically yes" Oracle confirmed, "Don't worry though, mom can fix it." Shakara added, "That's a relief, do you think she could help us right now?" Ozpin asked, but what Shakara said next made him want to cry, "She's in outer space at the moment, don't know when she'll come back, but we can deal with Shade on our own, I'll ask her to fix this mess when she comes back" Shakara reassured.
Meanwhile in Team Rwby dorm, Raven was trying to process that basically her whole life was based on lies, "I just can't understand, all this time, it worked to think like that, but then why didn't it right now?" She asked nobody in particular, "Nobody can survive by themselves, everyone needs help at least once in their life, I know I did" Blake explained."
"...Maybe it's just that I don't want to believe I was wrong." Raven said, making Yang smile, she was getting there, but it would still take time.
