{Text Chat/ phone call}

Chapter start:

Ruby and Blake returned to their seats and found Guts was missing.

"Hey Ruby, where is Guts?" Blake asked as she noticed Ruby's boyfriend missing

"I'm I'm not quiet sure." Ruby said before she felt a vibration on her scroll. Ruby looked at it and sighed in relief

"Huh oh looks like Ozpin called him up for a meeting but it would be too suspicious if we all went up so we're to watch the bout and Guts will tell us afterwards what happened, even JNPR is staying put." Ruby said as she sighed Glad she had a bit of time to relax and destress from the amount of edgings she had done that day.

Blake nodded and looked at her chair that Ruby passed and noticed that the remote was on it.

Blake smiled and snatch it up as Ruby sat down

Ruby looked over fearfully

"Blake, you have that look in your eye what is it?" She asked

"Don't worry about it Ruby." Blake tried to play it off

Ruby wasn't having it.

"Blake." She said

Blake looked over and smiled as she held the remote

Ruby sighed "of course he did." Ruby said defeated

"This should be a fun match." Blake said

"Yeah as you watch me squirm." Ruby groaned.

Before she could argue Blake heard the announcement that the battle was about to take place.

{"Ladies and gentlemen! Fanuas, and Human's Huntsman and Citizen's! People of all walks! Let me introduce to you the final Bout of the Double's round! Of the Vytal festival tournament!"} Peter port said

{"yes and this is sure to be a doozy Between Team CFVY and Team POWR!"} Oobleck said

The crowd cheered giving Blake a chance to activate the sex toy making Ruby Grunt and gasp.

On the Jumbotron The stats of both teams were shown

Pepper Mynt: Leader of Team POWR

Pepper Mynt. was a Human female with black eyes, and bright yellow hair which was short. Your outfit is steampunk styled, overcoat colored yellow and orange with gold and brass gears ending in a gauntlet on her right hand made of brass which can in a pinch act as brass knuckles.

She grew up in the Kingdom of Vacuo, before leaving home to train at Haven Academy. She joined a team of huntsmen/huntresses, and made connections that will last a lifetime and ended up leading it. She had a semblance of hard-light absorption and modification. And her abilities and outfit both have a light motif.

Her weapon is a throwable spear, crossed with a micro jet booster. Her fighting style focuses on all attack and no defense. Which fits well with teammate and boyfriend Wood Snyp

Wood Snyp, was a Human with grey eyes, white hair with Brown wavy bangs. His outfit is casual styled, colored brown and tan. Wearing a brown trench coat and Lumberjacks style shirt and jeans

Wood grew up in the Kingdom of Mistral, and trained at Haven Academy. You joined a team of huntsmen/huntresses, and was about to be named its leader but his teammates and later girlfriend Pepper was named instead. His semblance was enhanced strength. And his abilities and outfit both have a dark and gloomy motif.

His weapon was a Brown and cream Woodcutter ax with a integrated Trigger that when pushed made the Axe go from a lumberjack axe to a Bearded War-Axe With a fighting style focusing on relying on there semblance to wield the weapon and deal devastating blows but slow.

Their overall ranking for team combat was around 26th in the School. But personal scores much lower.

In the Arena people were showing support for team CFVY by wearing a beret and sunglasses like Coco.

Coco looked at her opponent and lowers her sunglasses "Hey! Love the outfit, kid!" She said

Pepper smiled "I'll try not to get blood on it." She said as she cracked her wrist with the gauntlet to get it limbered up.

Yatsuhashi got up as he removes Fulcrum from his back and slammed it on the ground in style "I can't promise you'll leave without a scratch."

Pepper smiled, stretching out her arm and squinted with one eye to look through the parted fingers "I won't be the one bleeding."

Coco looked at Yatsuhashi "Ooh, I like her!"

Port started counting the beginning of the match along with the countdown behind the combatants which the Audience cheered {"Three, two, one, begin!"}

Instead of charging forward, Wood and Pepper slowly walk back into the tall grass and disappear behind the leaves. Coco and Yatsuhashi smile at each other before Coco pops out her Gatling gun and begins mowing down the field as the crowds of sunglasses-wearing fans roar their approval, even when bullets nearly hit them from the other side of the forcefield. Coco lets up as she and Yatsuhashi realize the two opponents aren't in the plains section anymore.

Coco looked at Yatsuhashi shocked "Huh?"

Blake leaned forward "look out!"

Coco and Yatsuhashi look to the Sky as Wood drops from the sky, aiming for Coco, but Yatsuhashi pushes her out of the way and blocks his Wood axe with his blade,

Wood grit his teeth and pulled the trigger as Yats pushed him back which instead made him go flying over Yatsuhashi as Coco opens fire at him again, but the shots miss.

Sun who was also in the bleachers with the rest of his team SSSN spoke out loud "He's good!"

Scarlet looked over to his leader "Yeah, but where's the girl?"

Wood reaches the two and Knocks away Coco's weapon with a powerful swing but it Chipped by Fulcrum and sent into the woods. As he grabbed onto a tree to stop himself

"Could use a little help love." He said to no one

To his left he saw a shimmer as Pepper was using her semblance to hide herself

"Move them into the geyser." She said

Wood smirked and launched himself off the tree

He landed in between the two of them and Wood tries to force them into the geyser but is unable to build up enough momentum to swing them both in as whenever he gets an opening at one the other comes in and forces him to block.

{"Ooh looks like Wood is in Trouble Will his leader come to his aid?"} Port asked announcing

Ruby grit her teeth as she lurched forward Blake pressed the button making Ruby edge. This was getting bad. She could barely focus on anything else but the fact she couldn't cum, much less the fight.

Blake seemed to be enjoying herself watching Ruby struggle like a cat would watch a fish swim in water

Wood grit his teeth he knew Peppers plan and knew he was on his own until he could separate the two of them. So he just focused on not getting hit.

While dodging Yatsuhashi's blade, Wood then delivers a double blow to the giant warrior parrying his strike then following through with a hit to stagger him as he looked back at Coco before jumping over Coco's continued barrage of bullets. He lands on the barrels and jumps off making the Gun smack against the ground as he leapt over another of Yatsuhashi's swings, and lands behind Coco.

Coco with the weight off the gun forced her gun up to fire and found the muzzle pressed up to her own teammate. Everyone stands still until Coco compresses her weapon back into its handbag form and tries to hit Wood which is successful which sends him sliding across the open area and towards the hot spring Area.

Coco was unfazed by the retreat and opens her Gatling gun again prepared to gun him down before he comes escape but the Steam vents went off obscuring him

"Damn." Coco hissed and nudged to Yatsuhashi "flush him out."

Yatsuhashi nodded and Starts to head towards the Hit springs

Only to hear a grunt from his leader and look back an an invisible force Sends Coco into the forest

Yatsuhashi reaching out to her in vain "Coco!" He called

"I'm fine go!" Coco called from in the forest Yatsuhashi gripped Fulcrum with two hands and headed into the steam vents.

Despite his cry, Coco disappears into the trees, and he has to endure a hunt for Wood in the hot spring area. Which were covered in steam making it hard for him to track.

Getting angry at it Yatsuhashi jumps high in the air as his blade comes down on the ground , the shockwave from this crash causing the water to fly back and blow away the steam and the earth to crack underneath, and multiple geysers to form around them. Scalding Yatsuhashi with boiling water. Causing him to scream in pain as his muscles Flex uncontrollably.

{"Ooh that's gotta Hurt."} Oobleck Comments

In the stands Ruby shivered frantically trying to find a way to escape the chair that she was in to try to run to the bathroom so she could cum

Unfortunately Blake used Several of her clones to hold Ruby down and even gag her as tears leaked from her eyes at the inability to cum. And was getting no sympathy from Blake. As she struggled to escape but only arched her back more and more. Growing more tired in the attempt.

Back in the arena. Wood and Yatsuhashi were ducking at it, throwing heavy swing against heavy swing. As the explosion's such clashes produced, threw away more and more rubble but both combatants were unphased by the others' strikes. As both grabbed each other's hands and started a pushing contest.

"You're pretty good." Wood said exerting Strength.

"I have to admit your not so bad yourself." Yatsuhashi said in concentration

"Well thanks but I was just trying to be nice." Wood said

"Huh?" Yatsuhashi asked as finds himself lifted off his feet and tossed about as a rag doll. Before he slammed him to the ground. This leaves his head in a small super-heated geyser, that within seconds erupts causing him to scream in pain as he frantically gets up, opening his eyes just in time to see Wood coming at him.

Meanwhile, Coco is sailing in the air deeper into the forest until she is slammed against the trunk of a tree.

She shakes it off until she realizes her sunglasses are lying shattered on the ground.

Coco stands up slumped as she glared around angrily as she looks around for her opponent "I take it back; I don't like her."

Just as she says this, a Spear lands before Coco, which she barely manages to jump back from as Pepper charges again at her. As she picks up her spear and charges at Coco activating the jet booster at Coco

Coco in a panic unleashes her Gatling gun again and shoots at her incoming target, but Pepper tilts the spear down making her fly over coco and land in the tree above her.

Coco tracks her shooting whenever Pepper runs to each tree until she suddenly vanishes behind one of them.

Coco looked around for her lost opponent "Damn!"

Yatsuhashi approached her coming up from behind her, hand on his sword's hilt "Coco!" He called

Coco called back to him as she continued to glance around "Watch out, she's in the trees!"

Yatsuhashi drew his sword "ok."

"What happened to Wood?" Coco asked

"Enjoying time in the hot spring." Yats said

In the hot spring Area Wood was tied down screaming in pain as the hot water boiled in his skin dropping his Aura down.

In the stands Ruby groaned as she felt another orgasm build up this one much harder than the first. One that if Blake didn't let go actually might have made her release all her built up Edges in one go.

Ruby whimpered at the prospect, hopeful that Blake would be nice.

She wasn't.

On a bullhead approaching the colosseum Adam hypes up the white fang under him as he breifed them.

"What's the plan brother Adam?" A female Fanuas

"Tonight…we get revenge for all those who have fallen." Adam said as he nodded to the pilot and they flew in towards the Stadium

"We split up 2 will go to take direct control of the Dust generator. And the other 3 will follow me as we shut off controls and Make our demands heard by all perhaps after the fallout of such an event we will be taken seriously." Adam said

On the landing platform outside the Stadium several Bullhead's landed on the pad's which several civilians looked confused about as mysterious men hopped out lead by another carrying a Long box as they walked inside the Bullhead flew off. Unfortunately no one raised the alarm being either too interested in their own things or something else

(Cinders dorm)

It had taken Cinder 2 days, DAYS! to sneak into her dorm which was fucking hard to do with the high alert security around fortunately she got access to the building and snuck up to her room as she slammed the door shut, she growled and huffed as she paced around the room.

It was all so perfect, not a single toe was out of line Ozpin didn't suspect a thing. Until those fucking kids had to get themselves caught! Now she was back to square one! She had no key access to Beacon's systems seeing as her Prearranged bouts didn't work, she no idea where the Maiden is and now can't for any reason find a way to draw any mass amount of Grimm towards the city. The plan was all ruined!

Cinder leaned against the desk which was piled with her stuff as a student decoy a notebook with fake class notes she was gifted from a student who had Peter port before and gave them as a "study guide" several pens and a High quality Monitor that she could use as well to act like a gamer or something. While she actually talked to her intel.

Right now it was just making her angry seeing her reflection in the dead screen.

"Damn it Watts, YOU FUCKING INBRED!" Cinder cursed as she sent everything on the desk to the floor. The monitor shattered with a loud crash as the pens and notebook went flying.

Cinder panted as she tried to get her rage under control; her powers were still fueled by her emotions and that could give herself away. She had to think smarter, not harder.

'If I can at least kill Ozpin I can at least return to her and not fear retribution for failure or at least avoid the worst.' Cinder through. As she suppressed a shiver.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door Cinder opened it to find two Atlas Guards having armed rifles and pistols pointed at her

She didn't even get a word in before they opened fire at her and she saw black.

Within the headmaster's office at twilight, Professor Ozpin is facing the window, his back to the elevators when the doors open and Qrow Branwen steps inside, approaching his desk with a coffee mug in hand.

"You know, he's making you look like a fool." Qrow said

Ozpin facing out towards the window "His heart is in the right place. He's just... misguided."

"Misguided isn't the word Oz the kid has PTSD and is a danger to everyone here. He said so himself." Qrow said as he took a sip

Ozpin sighed as he spun around

"Ever since Guts has come here he has shown us things we would have overlooked. I don't know how any of this would have turned out if not for him but in my guess Beacon would have already fallen or at least its Collapse would have been secured by now. But thanks to him we have a fighting chance." Ozpin said

Qrow shrugged in agreement as he downed the mug

"Sure has a lot of excess baggage though…" he said

Ozpin smiled "everyone does…"

Qrow sighed

"So what's the plan with Amber?" Qrow asked

"That is the big question…after all we have a risk to take…" Ozpin said

Guts stood in the elevator heading up to Ozpin's office.

(Amity colosseum)

The battle between the last double round teams was underway.

Port jumped in his seat as he announced a solid hit "oh ho he'll feel that in the morning!" He said

Suddenly the entire room lurched causing everything to shake and subsequently pause as people tried to regain their balance.

Port looked at "what the hell was that?"

Oobleck silently looked over to another screen and his eyes bulged as he looked at Port. Who could see the screen

One of the dust engines was broken and they were slowly losing altitude.

"Oh no…" he said

On the battlefield the fight stops when the shaking commences.

Yats nearly loses his balance but uses Fulcrum As a Brace.

"What is going on?" Coco asked

Suddenly the jumbotron Craclked and was replaced with one message

"Please remain on the line for the announcement."

The fight stopped what announcement could possibly be as important to take up a fight.

(Headmasters office)

Qrow turned around as the elevator dinged and Guts stepped out.

"You wanted to see me Sir?" Guts asked he noticed Qrow in the corner but focused on Ozpin.

"Yes… please take a seat." Ozpin said guesturing yo the chair

Guts nodded and did so as Ozpin took a breath.

"I…will admit this is hard to say…" Ozpin said after a while

"But after a lot and I mean a lot of diberating. I've decided that we are going to go ahead with the transfer." Ozpin said

"We're moving Amber?" Guts asked for confirmation.

"Yes…or more specifically…you are." Ozpin said

Guts nodded "very well, let me hear it." Guts said

"That's the problem, we have no idea. There are cameras everywhere in beacon and that makes it very hard to move Amber unnoticed. People will talk." Ozpin said

"I see." Guts said nodding

"Seeing as you've come up with plans for this before we were thinking you could come up with something to help us." Qrow said his arms crossed as he leaned on a pulse.

Guts nodded "I have an idea coming from the use of holograms but I need to see what we're dealing with." Guts said

At that moment the door opened again and Ironwood and Glynda walked in

"Sorry we're late." Ironwood said, adjusting his tie.

"What did we miss?" Glynda asked

"Guts was asking to see Amber so he can come up with a plan to move her." Qrow said

Guts expected James to be against it but he actually nodded.

"I actually think now is the best time. I've gotten news that some of my troops have gone ahead and went to try to seize Cinder fall." He said

Ozpin shot up in a panic "James I told you not to, we don't need her to figure she's onto us!" Ozpin yelled

"It wasn't my idea Oz! Some of my troops recognized her on the way back to her dorm and moved in on her before I could deny them." James said

Ozpin slammed his fist on the table "fuck!" Making many in the room flinch Ozpin never got mad infact he never swore. As a very calm collected individual this made everyone in the room uneasy. The only one not was Guts who was thinking.

Qrow noticed Guts was in deep thought "what are you thinking?" He asked

"First I need to ask, is she captured? Did she escape where is she?" Guts asked

"I don't know-." James said

"THEN FIND OUT! WHERE ON A TIME CRUNCH HERE GO!" Guts snapped

James spun around and bolted out the door faster than anyone saw him run.

Guts sighed "the next 12-24 hours is the most crucial to Vale's survival. First I need to see Ambers life support systems how stable they are, how they work and if they can be modified. If Cinder is secure the we have one less issue to worry about as an ambush but I need more intel before I reach a choice let's go." Guts said

Ozpin for his credit followed Guts as if he was the leader and everyone followed Ozpin.

They got in the elevator And went down.

(Unknown Atlas ship in the fleet.)

On the Atlas security Ship Emerald and Mercury were huddled together

Well Emerald was feeding a bedridden Mercury after finally realizing how close to death he was and that he was actually self sacrificing himself to give her a chance to live.

Suddenly the door to there fell clicked

Emerald looked back in fear unsure as to what might cause the sudden meeting with the guards.

Emerald handed Mercury the bowl

"Keep eating it will be ok." She said

Mercury smiled softly clearly droozy and unfocused

"I should be saying that to you."

Emerald smiled sadly as a tear or two fell down her face

A loud clunk was heard on the door as Emerald looked back terrified

"Em?" Mercury asked

"It's going to be ok." Emerald tried to reassure Mercury but he didn't know if she was trying to reassure him or herself.

Suddenly the Door clanked opened and 4 AK-200 stepped in in parade formation.

"Prisoner 114 and 115 you are to be transferred! Please follow." The android said before going still

"I can't move, I don't have my legs you stupid Bolt for brains." Mercury snapped

They didn't expect a reaction from the lifeless robot's which gave them all the more shock when it responded

"Worthless peon."

Emerald and Mercury gasped as they recognized that these were not under Atlas control

It was Watts

He was busting them out.

"We're on a strict schedule, move prisoner. If you can't move someone will do it for you." The android said

One of the knights stepped forward but Emerald stood up

"It's ok I got it." She said as she reached over for Mercury

Only to be Smacked in the back of the Head making her gasp

"Ow what the-?!" Emerald gasped

Suddenly they heard voices in the hall as a group of two Atlas guards walked past chatting

"Hey is this door meant to be open?" One asked

The knight Took a swing at Emerald again which she took and fell on the ground dramatically

"Hey what's going on here?" The guard asked

The knight turned to the door

"Prisoner transfer. These two were being uncooperative." The knight said

The guards nodded "very well carry on." They said as they left.

Mercury allowed himself to be picked up by a knight and they carried them out of the cell block to the evidence locker where Mercury's boots and Emerald's kamas were stored.

"What can I get for you?" The women asked

"Prisoner 115 & 116 transferred to direct flight to Atlas high security prison." The knight said

"I'll need a transfer code." The woman said boardly

The knight handed a set of forged documents that the women didn't scan for a second before saying "all's in order."

One of the 4 knights took the box and the 6 were lead to another transport a Atlas Mantas which they used and Flew off.

It was clear sailing for a while as they passed Out of the city and by the last Cruser above Vale within minutes they would be home free.

In the back Mercury was wrestling trying to get his boots back on

"Damnit I was afraid if I didn't get my boots on soon I'd never be able to." He said as he yelled in pain As he forced the boot in

Emerald ran to Mercury worried but he Threw her off him.

"I'm fine Emerald jeez I'm not a invalid." He said as he walked towards the Cockpit he missed the hurt expression on her face as he walked past.

"Your going to need a distraction to cloak our escape." Mercury said

A knight against a wall knight looked over "that has already been planned."

Suddenly the Mantas alarm went off as a radio comm called over the speaker

{"Mastas 4-5 this is Blue 4 you are to return to your ship immediately or you will be fired upon."}

Mercury looked around in a panic

"Um Watts?!" He asked

The android just kept flying

Mercury just looked at Emerald and the two reached their hands out to hold each other in their possibly last moments.

On the Atlas cruiser the captain growled "mantas 4-5 TURN AROUND NOW!" He barked

He got no response

The captain growled at the Radio silence.

"Screw protocol! Open fire!" He barked

One of the bridge Crew went to trigger the lasters to fire when her console exploded shaking the ship

"Oh what the hell-?!" He asked as that explosion set off a chain which eventually knocked out the entire bridge crew.

On the cell block Roman Torchwick slept until the rattling of the ship smacked his head against the bulkhead's waking him up

"Oh fuck don't any atlas personal know how to fly this bucket of bolts?" He asked

Suddenly his door opened and looked up surprised by his visitor as well as who it was especially as a little girl with pink and black hair slammed into him and hugged the life out of him

"Oof I-Neo! I'm glad but…why are you here?" He asked

Neo gave a few hand signs and Roman's face changed from confusion to panic.

"What?!" He gasped

Roman and Neo ran down the hallway to the bridge as they stormed in and realized everyone was incompasitated

Roman looked in a panic "son of a bitch!" He said

He looked at one screen and saw a black Queen on its screen before the entire monitor shut off along with the lights and most likely all the rest of the ships power

Including what kept it in the air.

Roman growled he would have to get the ship back working otherwise there would be no time to escape

"Neo help me restore the engine!" Roman yelled!

Neo was waving possibly trying to urge him to use this to escape but Roman was too focused he actually was starting to like these people.

"Screw my bleeding heart." Roman groaned

Neo rolled her eyes and started to help opening up panels and jumping wires.

The two ran around trying to restore the weapon of war and in a secondary effort to not have it crash in the City below.

In the elevator Guts took a deep breath before asking "tell me the common ritual of what happens when a Maiden passes."

"As we understand it now, when a Maiden dies, the one who is in her final thoughts is the first candidate to inherit her power. But they must be young and a female." Glynda said

Guts nodded "from what I understand Magick to be like it's like energy. It can be separated but it wants to come together like heat. If you have two hot zones heading towards each other they fuse into one." Guts said

Ozpin nodded seemingly following along.

"So from that standpoint if a half maiden dies the powers should go to the other host unless the other host dies too." Guts said

"So lives the theory we hope." Qrow said

"Here's the question: what if that person is unconscious." Glynda said

"That's the variable." Guts said

The door to the elevator opened as Ozpin walked out

"Follow me."

Guts looked around the vault "this architecture isn't the same as modern day Beacon….isn't a vault…it's a bunker…no it's your old house!" He gasped

Ozpin spun around as everyone else was shocked they didn't expect that bombshell.

"Well your Very perspective." Ozpin said not denying the claim

"How much money did it cost to make this?" Guts asked not anger just in awe.

"Lifetimes and lifetimes. You're right this is my old house…it always has been…and always will be until my curse is broken." Ozpin said

"So assuming your body dies and you're reincarnated into a like minded individual in another part of the world who takes care of the house until you "get home." Guts asked

"Assuming she's willing, Glynda will be promoted to being Headmistress. Until I'm able to return to Beacon." Ozpin said

"Well knowing this is your fucking house yes!" Glynda said

Ozpin smiled "thank you old friend." He said

"tangent aside sorry let's see Amber." Guts said

Ozpin nodded as they reach the end of hallway

A humming of electricity is heard as the group comes to their destination at the end of the hallway: A large machine with lit screens hooked up to two rectangular pods, one of which is upright to show through the glass window a young girl dressed in minimal clothing with a burn scar over her left eye and across her face.

"This her?" Guts asked

Qrow nodded

"yep."

"How does the machine get its power?" Guts asked

From behind Glynda, Ironwood walked forward

"We are able to manipulate it with electric dust. But in the case of emergencies it can be fed directly with dust crystals." Ironwood said.

Guts nodded "can the glass be manipulated in any way?" Guts asked

The four adults looked at each other "what are you planning?" Ozpin asked

Guts explained the plan and to be honest it's kinda so simple it works.

"Hmm we can transport Her to my ship." Ironwood said

"The only question is where would She be?" Qrow asked

"Obviously right next to her." Guts said

Everyone looked at Guts as if he grew a third head " You want them to meet after we have done so much to separate them?" Glynda asked

"Hear me out, the part of the machine is there to transfer Aura to another host…so why not feed back the stolen aura to its old host?" Guts asked

Everyone looked at each other. It was a smart plan. Almost too smart. Guts spoke again

"James, where is Cinders wearabouts?"

James smiled "restrained by an Aura suppressing straightjacket in the secure cell block of my flagship."

Guts nodded

"Ok very well. Now we need to manufacture an incident and Cinder must be held responsible for it an explosion or something we can use to claim she's the one who did it we broadcast a hologram projection of her in the Case as an air safe lock to prevent a "dangerous semblance" to leak out which could do untold damage." Guts said

"And Amber would be right there while on life support." Qrow said

"But where would Cinder be at the moment?" Glynda asked

"Why already in position…on Ironwood's ship. Waiting for her powers to be filtered out once Amber is in place." Guts said

Ozpin nodded " a resilient plan." James, how soon can we have the hologram set up?" Ozpin asked

"I can work on it myself, we should have it done by midnight tonight." Ironwood said

"Now all we need is an accident." Qrow said

Suddenly the entire room shook "ok… pardon my timing but what was that?" Qrow said

Suddenly all five people had a massive blare from there scrolls making them jump and reach for them as they opened it they saw a blood red screen on the Home Screen with text scrolling

"EXPLOSION AT AMITY COLOSSEUM THE ARENA IN FREEFALL!"

"Amity is falling!" Glynda said in gasp

"If the arena hits it will set off all the dust stored there." Ironwood said

"Vale would be wiped off the map in one go." Ozpin said

Guts snapped into action

"IRONWOOD MOVE THE BLUE FLEET IN TETHER THE ARENA TO YOUR AIRSHIP AMITY MUST NOT HIT THE GROUND!" Guts snapped before he turned to the others.

"We need to start an evacuation and send orders to all Huntsmen on standby for humanitarian aid!" Guts said

"But the arena is safe." Qrow said not seeing the point

"But right now over 10,000 people who are in the stands don't know that and even more who are watching on live TV." Guts said

"The grimm!" Glynda gasped as she took off running.

Guts looked back to see Ironwood yelling at his scroll barking out orders. Guts ran as well to get to the Surface. He didn't even notice Ozpin blink in and out of existence to appear in the elevator with him

In the Colosseum another explosion rocked the hallway and Adam Taurus walked the halls leading an elite team of White Fang Infiltrators disguised as Everyday citizens. His Box he was holding before long discarded revealing Wilt and Blush

"Find the next generator." He commanded as two White fang members ran down the hall leaving the last 2 and Adam to stand outside the Security room.

"Open it." Adam said

One of the agents nodded and kicked the door in to reveal security cameras and a security guard lazing about he stood up about to yell at them to back off.

"HEY-!" He was gunned down as a white fang member put a bullet in between his eyes as the body hit the ground dead.

"No survivors. Vale falls tonight…" Adam said as he approached the security console and triggered the Jumbotron's emergency message system.

At the same moment all the huntsman got the alert to prepare for humanitarian Aid, the people of the Coliseum got the alert that the arena was in freefall courtesy of Adam Taurus himself

{"Humans of Vale. Traitors of the Fanuas species my name is Adam Taurus. Some call me a tyrant, others call me a freedom fighter. Others still brand me a terrorist. What you call me doesn't matter because tonight I call you to tell you that On this night! This one and only night we raise our hands together. And grasp the victory that we so long fought for as a unity of a race!"} Adam said sounding reverent!

Everyone looked around confused.

"That tonight we will send a message to the world. That the White fang is not messing around." Adam said

Port spun around "CUT THE GODDAMN FEED!" He said "we can't, it's stuck on." An attendant said

{"Now I know that not all of you here are members or believers in the world of the white fang. But just once join in hands. And grasp each other's as we show the dawning of a new world."} Adam said

Suddenly all the power of the Arena was cut off and the once slow fall was changed to a plummet everyone screamed.

Then just as suddenly the lights turned back on and everyone was forced to the ground by the gravity

{"As you notice I have full control over the gravity of the Arena. And I'm going to say this once or else I plunge the arena into the ground and Vale vanished off the map."} Adam said before pausing for dramatic effect

{"I want the head of Jacques Schnee in a box."} He said as he cut the feed

Everyone was frozen. Was this a prank? A sick joke?

Ruby looked panicked "Blake we need to GUH!" Ruby gasped as she was rocked by the hardest orgasm she ever felt.

Suddenly her mind cleared and looked at Blake who was set serious

Now was not the time to play.

"I need to go to the bathroom to take this belt off help funnel the civilians out of here." Ruby said as she disappeared.

Suddenly the lights went off and the place once again flew in freefall.

Until the lights turned back on

In the feed room Adam flipped the switch to return power to the floating engines he walked away.

"Adam were not actually planning on ransoming them, are we?" One of the elite force members asked

"Of course not…destroy it all…" Adam said over his shoulder as he walked out.

At this point all of the huntsmen in the arena were ready as they got their weapons from their lockers and were ready for action.

As Ruby returned in a shower of rose petals which had the effect to boost moral between the huntsman who believed they were facing an impossible task.

"Blake! Coco help funnel the civilians out of the arena and onto the Airbusses!" Ruby said as Coco didn't argue about taking orders from Ruby this tine instead started waved more people out of the stands and into the Docking ports. And Yatsuhashi was helping with crowd control

On the ground despite protests from the doctors Weiss hobbled over to where the highest point was on the roof of a building and started to channel her aura.

Yang came up behind her with a bag full of Aura boosters.

Weiss used her Glyphs to make a walkway for people to get on the ground. because the Coliseum was so close to the ground was the only reason that she could reach it.

Jaune counted people as they left "187, 188,189, Pyrrha what the Fuck are you doing?!" He asked as he saw his partner in the middle of the combat stage

Pyrrha was sitting on the ground in deep concentration

As she raised her hands. And with a flick of the wrist her whole body turned black as she activated her semblance.

The entire arena halted in the air as Pyrrha used her semblance to stop the arena from falling

Adam was in mid stride when he felt the arena stabilize. His face contorted with rage "KILL EVERYONE!" He yelled as the Other White fang members started to indiscriminately killing

Or tired to fortunately there were a ton of Huntsman there ready to protect the civilians.

In the broadcast room, Port and Oobleck were looking at the screen as they felt the Arena shift again "we've…stopped…" Oobleck said

Port looked over the field "magnetism…" he said in awe as he looked to the arena and saw what Pyrrha was doing.

Oobleck typed on the computer which pulled up Pyrrha's record/Aura count. Which also had the effect of broadcasting it on the jumbotron

"She's burning through her Aura at a massive rate!" Oobleck said

"Barty, she is single handedly holding up over 10,000 people that is an amazing amount of control over her semblance." Port said

"Yes but at this rate she will not be able to hold it. She'll be out of aura in 5 minutes…" Oobleck said

On the underside of the arena Adam saw the broadcast of Pyrrha in the arena holding up the arena

His mouth turned into a snarl as he drew his sword.

Jaune stood there in awe as Pyrrha was using up all her aura

"JAUNE!" Nora called to him as the last person left through that door.

Jaune turned to Nora over his shoulder "Go protect the citizens get them out of here!" He said as he ran back In the arena Jaune reached Pyrrha and tried to pick her up.

"Pyrrha come on, we need to go!" Jaune said

However Pyrrha refused to bulge. But Jaune could tell she was straining as he noticed she was sweating an ocean as well as her arms were shaking.

"Pyrrha…" Jaune said

Ruby ran around the arena looking for stragglers of evacuees and leading them to the E-dock.

However she got to the end of the hallway and noticed Adam Taurus kicking in the door a women screaming as Adam pulls out a breastfeeding mother

Adam raises his sword prepared to kill the both of them when Ruby uses her semblance to grab the women and the boy just in time to save them

"Guh!" Adam said snarling at the fact he was unable to kill the worthless human.

Ruby spun around and Opened Crescent Rose dramatically

"Adam Taurus! On the sentence of crimes against humanity you are held guilty!" Ruby declared.

Adam sneered at Ruby.

"Well kid if you wanna get that bounty…come at me." Adam said

"RUBY NO!" Blake called making both look at her.

"Ah Blake, At last we meet again darling…" Adam said

Blake was stunned and did the only thing she could. She ran.

She appeared next to Ruby and vanished with her

"BLAKE NOOO!" Ruby cried

Adam hissed but he had no time to dwell on two cowards he made his way to the arena floor where Pyrrha was holding up the coliseum.

Blake stopped as Ruby struggled in Blake's arms

"Blake I had him!" Ruby said

"Yes but if you did it would take too long we need to prioritize the civilians first."

Ruby sighed Blake was right "fine but we are going to be talking about this after this is over."

Blake nodded as the two went back to help the people.

In the Arena

The automatic broadcasting camera zoomed in on Adam as he approached and because they were still filming they were about to see a real fight to the death. Across the world.

Pyrrha's entire arms were shaking now and with a blood curling scream her semblance cut off with her aura drained

Jaune who was just about to touch her was sent hurling to the ground as the place started to move.

Pyrrha looked over in shock she had no idea he was there

"JAUNE!" She gasped as she reached out and used her semblance again

There was a sickening crack as Pyrrha felt her bone crack from the overuse of her semblance. She screamed as she stabilized the arena.

"J-Jaune….run!" Pyrrha begged

"Not without you!" Jaune called

Pyrrha smiled at him bittersweetly as a lone tear fell from her eye.

Pyrrha shot her spare hand forward and grabbed onto Jaunes armor sending him out the door away the opposite way

"Pyrrha!" Jaune shouters calling for her as well as try to warn her about Adam behind her as he flew out the arena. Past the Airbusses and started going into freefall.

Pyrrha gasped thinking she had just killed Jaune. As he fell away from her view.

Only to see him rise up onto a bullhead piloted by Guts and Qrow.

As they shot towards the arena in the side of the open doors and into the combat arena

Pyrrha gasped as she saw they were not stopping and let go of her semblance and rolled out of the way as the bullhead dragged across the ground of the arena tearing up the flooring making the bullhead drag along its side.

Before she used her semblance again stopping the Falling arena

Jaune however timed the landing perfectly to be in the air once she activated her semblance. As Jaune drew his sword…

And flew over Pyrrha just in time to block an attack from Adam.

Pyrrha was shocked at Jaune recklessness he knew he was no match for Adam and Adam knew it to as Jaune was sent flying by Adam by him just blocking his strike.

Pyrrha looked around to see Guts and Qrow standing up from the crash ready to fight.

From that point Pyrrha knew what she had to do.

She let go of her semblance on the arena, grabbed her sword and shield and lunged at Adam.

Adam was just about to finish Jaune off standing over him, when Pyrrha's shield flew in front of the sword blocking it Adam spun around and just then Pyrrha lunged for the kill.

Adam was able to parry Pyrrha but right as he was about to strike at Her Jaune attacked Adam.

Pyrrha used the opportunity to use her Semblance to slow the fall of Amity.

Adam growled "you will not ruin this grand day!" Adam roared as he lunged at Pyrrha bypassing Jaune.

However he was stopped. As he was forced to Cut a barrage of buckshot from Qrow Who held the smoking barrel of Harbinger.

"Heh Adam Taurus you're more insane then we gave you credit for." He said

Adam hissed and looked behind him. Only to double over as a cannonball hit him sending him flying against the wall.

"I've heard you've done a lot of bad things Adam…let me tell you I've been wanting to hear you scream." Guts said

Adam looked horrified "s-shit…" he hissed as he stood up his knees buckled as he realized he was srrounded and got cocky.

Guts raised an eyebrow apparently he was terrified of Guts he looked at Qrow

"Go finish off the rest of the White fang trash hes min-!" Guts said as he snapped a look back to see Adam swinging.

"Never! EVER! Call my people! MY BROTHERS TRASH!" He roared.

Guts's body buckled but otherwise stayed unmoving he also looked unimpressed at Adams outburst.

"I will call them what they are…" he said as his body started to move as his sword followed, flickering in and out of reality.

"They are Spineless…gutless…animals who can't do anything but scanvange on the backs of others!" Guts said swinging dragonslayer with every statement Adam was able to dodge but whenever that happened Guts was there to swing again

"You are the worst sort of people imaginable And trust me I've meet quiet a few." Guts said with his last strike he sent Adam sliding

Adam stood up catching his breath

"Am I supposed to know you?" Adam asked seemingly proud

Guts raised his head

"Oh I thought for a minute you recognized me…" Guts said stepping forward and announcing to the world

"I am The Blackswordsmen." He said

"S-shit…" Adam said, realizing exactly how fucked he current was.

Guts Stepped forward "now Adam Taurus… I'm about to cleave your skull in two…" Guts said

Adam looked around however he did notice that Pyrrha was way too exhausted to counting to hold up the Arena so he decided to cut his losses.

"Well I guess this is the day the BlackSwordsmen Died." Adam said as he pulled the trigger on Blush and shot Guts in the stomach allowing enough time for Adam to escape

"F-fuck." Guts swore. As he fell to his knees holding the gunshot wound.

"Guts you ok?" Jaune asked

"I'm Fine!" Guts said as he pulled his hand away to reveal him bleeding "bastard got lucky." He looked over

"How about you?" He asked

"I'm fine. But Pyrrha's not! She's shaking like a leaf and passed out 2 minutes ago but her semblance is still going." Jaune said

Guts looked over to Pyrrha.

"She's using her life force to power her semblance." Guts said as he recognized that most of the major bones were broken and she unlike what Jaune said was just barely conscious

"WHAT?!" Jaune screamed

Everyone staired in horror at the prospect of one girl doing this

"Pyrrha! Pyrrha! Pyrrha!" Someone started chanting

The chant started to pick up and eventually every citizen of Vale was chanting it so loudly it could be heard from the arena.

"What's that?" Jaune asked looking over his shoulder

Guts looked over with a smile and said simply "hope"

Guts appeared in front of Jaune shaking him

"Jaune listen to me! If you don't do something now Pyrrha is going to die and Amity will fall. If that happens She wins!" Guts said

Jaune stumbled "b-but what can I do!" He asked

Guts stood up "the only thing we can do…struggle against our destiny." He said

At that point Pyrrha's eyes shot open and she let out a bloodcurdling scream as she fuled her semblance even more.

Jaune and guts stumbled but as they looked around they noticed something

"Where…rising?" Jaune asked

Indeed the Amity Colosseum was in fact rising very slowly but it was in fact rising.

It was at this point that any Huntsman with the ability to fly. Or had propulsion got on the underside of Amity to help push it higher into the sky. Penny being he first.

Jaune looked over to see Pyrrha and looked up to the jumbo tron to her profile with it blazing in red "warning Health risk critical Please seek medical attention!"

Jaune's heart lurched into his throat

"No Pyrrha no please PYRRHA!" Jaune yelled

And suddenly his hands that were hovering over Pyrrha's bent body started to Glow golden as wisps wrapped around stabbed themselves into Pyrrha.

Jaune looked up to see to his shock his hands. He turned to look at the jumbo tron to see not only had Pyrrha's profile stop the red flashing but Her aura was starting to go up her aura was regenerating.

Jaune turned back to look at her

"Hang on Pyrrha!" He said as he pushed more power into his now unlocked semblance making her aura heal faster

On the ground now commenting the stuff Port watched "oh my lord it appears Mr. Jaune Arc has just unlocked his semblance!" Port said

"Yes and healing semblances are quiet rare I now believe the life of vale itself rests on those two's shoulders." Oobleck said

"Barty…everyone's life is resting on those two and must I say those are big Shoulders to fill it if anyone can it's those two." Port said

On the ground the Huntsman and civilians were watching the event in awe. Even Cardin was shocked

"Go Jaune go." He said in a whisper to it was barely heard but even then it was

"Go Jaune!" Weiss called which was Echoed by Yang

"You got this!" Coco said next to her team.

"JAUNE! JAUNE! JAUNE!" The people chanted

In the arena Jaune was getting lightheaded was sweat had started to drip into his eyes as he rubbed them

"J…aune." Pyrrha said weakly as Jaune looked over to see her giving him a beautiful smile.

"L…eave me…" she said

Jaune shook his head

"No no no no! we live together, we love together we die together! That's the motto of being a huntsman!..isn't that right?" Jaune looked to Guts who just nodded as he just stood there.

"Now we are in this together." Jaune said

Pyrrha forced herself up with great pain "fine…JNPR all the way huh?" She said

"All the way baby." Jaune said

"Then if these are our last moments I just have one thing to say… I'm sorry it took me so long to say it Jaune… I love you." Pyrrha said

At that moment Jaune's semblance gave out as Pyrrha was not supporting Amity once again by herself.

She let out a belt wrenching scream as she felt as if she was being torn apart at the seams! As even if her aura was full the pain was immense and amity started to fall again slowly.

"No Oh no!" Port gasped

Pyrrha ran her throat dry as Guts was there to support the two of them rubbing their backs

Pyrrha couldn't hold her semblance anymore as it started to flicker and died she passed out.

As her eyes blurred she looked over to a massive chain slam itself into the stadium and the massive chain was pulled taunt.

{"This is blue two Anchor secure!"} As an atlas ship hung above Amity. The announcement echoing across the PA.

Suddenly another chain anchored itself the opposite side.

{"Blue three Anchor secure!"} Another voice said followed by another.

{"This is blue Leader Anchor secure."} As a third ship hung above the arena.

The arena started to lean which wasn't much but it was enough to nearly destabilize the Ships.

{"It's no good we don't have the power to keep it in the air!"} A women said coming from one of the Atlas ships

"Blue four this is the blue leader where are you?" He asked

{"Oh don't sweat it! keep your pants on!"} a voice not Atoas in origin yelled as blue four flew over the arena

On the bridge it was just Roman as many of the personnel were hurt and moaning and unable to operate the machines

{"Wha-who is this?!"} Blue leader asked

On the bridge Roman grabbed the intercom "this is Roman Torchwick at your service! Just swooping by to save the day. Speaking of NEO NOW!" Roman shouted

Suddenly the fourth and final anchor dropped and slammed into the arena as Roman dropped the intercom and pulled up on the ship stabilizing the Arena all ge while the Atlas leadership is ranting at Roman to put someone who was in charge on the line.

"IF I DID THAT VALE WOULD BE A SMOLDERING WRECK NOW! Everyone on the vessel is incompasitated. It wasn't me." Roman said

As he sighed "altitude locked ladies and gentlemen Amity coliseum is secure!" He cheered

All on the ground everyone broke into cheers as if it was a massive graduation party

On the bride Roman leaned back

"Huh who knew that saving the world gave the exact same feeling as robbing people? Neo I think we just found our new calling." He said

He picked up the intercom " Yes if there is anyone who doubts my conviction I will gladly stay on the bridge waiting to be relieved and arrested." Roman said

On the ground Penny landed and was greeted as a hero as many things worked at once.

Adam had fled to the Grounds of beacon his plan in ruins but he could at least do a few more things.

Roman sat Idly on the bridge with his feet up relaxing when suddenly he heard a beep on the monitor

"What the-?" He asked

"Shit!" He snapped as he grabbed the intercom

"BLUE SQUAD BLUE SQUAD COME IN THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PROTO! WHATEVER THE FUCK JARGON YOU SAY?!" Roman said

{"WHAT ROMAN WHAT IS IT NOW?!"} Blue leader snapped

"I've getting readings of a mass migration of Grimm heading right to the city looks like a level 10 horde." He said

On Blue leaders ship a women turned around "boss I'm getting the same thing!"

"What?!" He asked before yelling "GET ME A VISUAL!"

On the screen was the largest horde of Grimm ever seen in human history

"Dear gods!" Blue leader said

"Sir blue wing is completely immobile we can't do anything we're sitting ducks!" An ensign said

"Fuck sound the alarm!" He yelled

Roman danced from controller to controller typing up shit

"Patch me through to your anchor controls I can level them from here!" Roman said

{"What are you playing at Torchwick?!"} Blue leader asked

"Taking the control so you can focus on deploying your army and fight off the Grimm now go!" Roman said

From that the Air wing of Gunships flew out from Blue wing to perform strafing runs at the Grimm.

"It's not enough there's to many of them!" Someone cried

"Fuck… Roman!" Blue leader said

{"Right here."} Roman answered.

"How well are you at controlling an Atlesian paladin?"

{"Well I mean I stole a prototype once…"} Roman said

"We got a new Super variant and it seems this is the best way to give it a test drive however don't try to run away with it it has a tracker and we will find you." Blue leader said

{"Very well where can I find it?"} Roman asked

"Should be in your hanger." Blue leader said

{"Ok I'll transfer control of the Anchor to you Blue leader."} Roman said

"Got it now get going." Blue leader said

Roman walked away "hey if anyone here is still alive keep the ship in working order." He said

One of the bridge crew stood up and gave Roman a weak thumbs up Roman gave a cocky smile "Shiny… Neo let's be heroes."

On the ground The civilians has been evacuated to Beacon where they had been hoarded into safety areas giving the defenders a time of reprieve

Ironwood sighed as The remains of the brotherhood who could meet On the surface.

"Amity is safe." James said

"Well at least we have that going for us." Glynda said

"Yes very much so however I've gotten word of a massive Grimm horde heading straight towards Beacon." James said

Ozpin sighed "it appears we will need to move Amber another time. Call all available huntsmen to arms Beacon is at war." Ozpin said

{"Ozpin I told you before the next 12-24 hours were the most critical to Vale's survival. The time is now to move!"} Guts said simply. As he hung up

Ozpin looked at the others who held a grim but determined expression on there face.

On the ground the general alert went out to all scrolls. To the civilians it was to head to the nearest Grimm Shelter.

To Huntsman it was to protect the civilians and defend Beacon.

The only ones who didn't get that message was team RWBY and JNPR there scrolls {"Get To the headmaster's office priority one."}

RWBY AND JNPR took off running as fast as they could despite being questioned by staff and fellow students

"Hey wait!" Coco called but Fox stopped her. "It doesn't matter we have a job to do." He said

RWBY and JNPR were at the headmasters office as they stepped in.

"Headmaster!" Ruby said

"We're speeding up the time table. Your on escort duty of a priority one target they must reach Ironwood's ship." Ozpin said

Ruby and the others nodded

"James take them down." Ozpin said

Glynda was looking out the window Ozpin caught her looking

"What is it Glynda?" He asked

"The general attack." Glynda said as it appeared on the far end of Beacon a fleet of Bullheads flying towards Vale with the White fang emblem blazed on.

"Get moving we cannot allow Amber to be here when white fang arrive." Ozpin said

Team RWBY had already left Ruby snapping off the emergency lift function to the vault.

James followed them.

"Amber is this way girls." He said

They rushed down the hall and found Amber in the Life Support system. But instead of it being Amber it's the imprisoned Cinder fall.

"The goal is yo act as if she is the cause of the attack and we prepared her for a trial on my ship. Cinder will actually be moved after the attack is finished where we will completely restore Amber." Ironwood said

At that time Cinder was In her cell with the straightjacket on awake trying to pull off the jacket. Suddenly in her anger Cinder activated her magick. Which burned her it fucking hurt.

Wait her magic…suddenly a orange neon glow was glowing brighter at the center of the jacket. As she smiled wickedly

There was an explosion outside of the Cell block as Cinder stepped out and all restraints were removed. As she walked out she formed her weapons

'Now it was time for payback.' Cinder though as she looked up to the TV

{"the failed attack on Amity Coliseum br Adam Taraus ended with an encounter with the blackswordsman. and workers are on route to try to repair the damaged engines as soon as possible apparently Angels do exist and has Blessed Vale with not one but two… "} the report by Lisa lavender said as images of the Collusion being held up by Atlas airships was on screen.

Cinder walked the halls free to wreck havoc and further her mistress's plan.

Ruby and the others nodded as they started to move in line with the life support system. Towards the elevator ready for whatever ambush what so ever

"Weiss I want you to help lift the machine if you can get it to the ship faster if we get attacked go on without us. Blake in case that becomes likely you go with Weiss make sure Weiss gets to Ironwood's ship that is your job understand?" Ruby said in a no nonsense tone.

Both girls nodded

"Yang." Ruby turned to her sister who was loading her gauntlets

"Let's play Ruby." Yang said

Ruby nodded as the Elevator dinged they had reached the ground floor.

Adam stood in the hanger doors of a bullhead as they flew closer to Beacon in formation with other white fang aircraft.

"Land in the courtyard. Once there spread out and get away from the bullheads!" Adam yelled the pilot nodded

Suddenly the Fleet came under fire from Beacons Anti air guns. As Adam looked to see one of the bullhead get shot down. And gave a silient prayer hoping that either the crew all survived or died painlessly.

Adam spoke again "Once we establish a landing point I'll call in heavy weapons. But not before!" He said

The men in the bullhead were silent waiting for a rousing speech from Adam

And he gave it.

"We've waited for this day now it's time to take it." He said as the bullhead landed Adam was the first one out and he drew his sword waving it around fanatically

"WHITE FANG TO WAR!" He yelled as he charged as did the troops behind him.

As Adam charged the distance between the landing pad and the Defenders he realized something…they were too far.

Suddenly a barrage of fire came hailing at him as he has to roll to dodge the machine guns as he held up an arm to block a shot to his face he realized something

His aura wasn't healing the wound…

It clicked to Adam they were using Anti-huntsman rounds on them

Beacon wasn't fucking around. Adam looked back and saw all sorts of rapid fire weapons from Huntsman fire to pin down the white fang.

Many of his brothers didn't have Aura.

"Cover cover!" Adam said trying to reduce casualties as he hid behind a pillar he looked up to see the gunfire had punctured a fuel line on a bullhead and it went up in flames. He looked horrified at the burning remains as the husk crashed back on the landing pad before rolling off the cliff into the water below.

"Return fire!" Adam said as he leveled blush and tried to gain retribution.

In the Air blue Wing was watching the carnage unfold at beacon.

"Sir Beacon is sitting Duck the Huntsman are holding the line but more and more White fang keep coming." Someone said

"How prepared are our relief units? Are the Knights loaded up?" The captain asked

"It's still going to take five minutes to get the Gunships in order." Someone said

Blue leader growled "damn it" he hated to do this but if nothing was done beacon would fall and General Ironwood has specifically said that that was not an option and he was to do all in his power to prevent that…even if it meant freeing a hardened criminal to fight "Roman where are you?!" He asked

At that moment the bulkhead of the door opened up to reveal Roman Torchwick in the super Paladin. Being a bulkier version of the normal Paladin except it has two massive chain guns and a detachable missile rack.

"I'm ready give me my objective." Roman said on comms

{"Here there's a large contingent of Grimm here wipe them out they cannot repeat cannot be allowed to bolster the attack on Beacon."} Blue leader said

"Rodger!" Roman said as activated the Paladin as the system went through ID verification Roman overrides it. And has full access.

"Woah mind to movement huh?" Roman said as he lifted his head

{"Pay attention Roman you got a horde to stop."} the captain said

"Right I assume I'm going in alone?" Roman asked

{"whether you live or die here I don't care, you've caused at least two atrocities here in Vale alone and for that I'd rather you be hung. But we need manpower right now and I have to admit your skilled now get going."} as the line cut off harshly

Roman rolled his eyes "what a rosy character." He said as he activated the Targeting computer and found he was within a good lunge distance from the target

1000 ft up but still

Roman smirked as he backed the machine against the wall and took a running start and jumped from the Ship down to the ground.

On the bridge the captain watched as Romans Paladin took a nose dive out the access hatch. As he held his head from the migratin

"Dear god I hope he knows what he's doing the Paladins are supposed to be flown in." Blue leader sighed

Fortunately Roman did know what he was doing as he landed he set of several Rockets and the movement boosters to slow his fall as well as give a devastating ground pound.

Roman stood up and with a flick of the wrist both the shoulder mounted chain guns and the Laser blasters on the Hands of the Paladin were ready for action the Hand guns glowing with residual energy as the chain guns began rotating.

"ALRIGHT GRIMM COME TO PAPA!" Roman yelled as he spotted the Grimm horde approaching as he squeezed the triggers.

The lasers and Dust rounds Fired were amoung the 100's within two seconds and The Paladin mowed down the Grimm like it was grass.

"Woooo!" Roman yelled

He looked over to his left to see several Grimm trying to go around him he spun around and shot them from the side causing them to divert and charge at him

"Shit!" Roman said as he grabbed the intercom

"Blue leader there are numerous Grimm out here I don't have enough to deal with this by my lonesome," Roman said

Fortunately another voice spoke

{"Don't worry we got you covered."}

Roman looked and saw several lines of AP-200 in rows. As well as several AP-210's like the one he was piloting as the front "chest" opened Exposed revealing the cockpit and diver and was revealed a Brigadier general with an eyepatch.

"PALADIN BRIGADE! We've gotten our mission: we are the holiest of Holy Devine by Atlas! We shall not perish, we shall Crush those who stand in our way! ATTACK!" The commander roared

The Paladin shut its doors and charged as the rest of the Bregade followed just as zealous as their leader.

Roman smiled "alright." He said as he too jumped into the Frey.

Team RWBY and JNPR were surprised how easy moving Amber to James' ship he had a Gunship in the courtyard in front of the Tower. They just loaded her on and Ruby Grabbed the controls and took off.

However the ship was on autopilot which was good because Ruby had no idea how to fly the machine

On the middle Consel am hologram of James appered making Ruby jump. And raise her hands as if to Swat at a fly or something.

The others tried to Hold there laughed even Ironwood before his face shifted to a serious tone.

James looked back at the two teams {"once Amber is on my ship try to make a pass around Beacon and drop off the Atlesian Knights."} James said

Ruby nodded "Um ok but Um I don't know how to fly this this thing?" Ruby said

James smiled {"that's Ok I'm flying your ship remotely."} he said before he looked over and sighed

{"This is shits creek here. Grimm are attacking from our south as White Fang are attacking from the north."} James said

"Where's Guts?" Jaune asked

{"He and Qrow are holding down Amity until repair crews can get the engines back online."} James said

At that time Guts and Qrow were leading the Mechanics to each engine "come on! come on!" Qrow said as they reached the doors. And he all but shoved one of the workers in. Making him trip

Qrow grimaced as if it was his fault as he looked at Guts who just shrugged.

Finally the crews started to work on the arena. As more Huntsman showed up to guard the crews.

Guts looked to Qrow "We need to head back to defend Beacon!" He said

Qrow nodded as they ran off to the Launch platform.

James sighed he sat on his Flagship and he watched as Team RWBY unloaded Amber without a hitch and a rack of 14 AK-200 slid in its place and were ready to be deployed in seconds. now they were off to deploy the Knights as another pass at Beacon along with themselves.

James looked out the large view screen to see the entire sky be filled with Atlas Gunships flying to Beacon for Aid.

"Time to put down this rebellion for good." James said

"General." A voice spoke behind him as an attendant revealed an Atlas set of power armor. Although Armor would barley be an accurate word and James had dropped the Term all together in favor of using an A more accurate term.

"Your harness." She said

James nodded as he slid his arms in and activated his Aura and felt as if the harness was just another set of clothes. Although he knew it did no better to extend the Survivability from Huntsman.

Of course that's what Sentinel was for. and later the Guardsman Project.

But first Beacon had to be protected.

At the Beacon Courtyard it didn't look good the Huntsman were being pushed back as more White fang arrived as Support. "Fall back! fall back!" Coco called as they made a fighting retreat to the inner courtyard and around the tower.

Coco just got back behind the line when another Ship of White fang appeared, this time with a shoulder mounted Rocket as they fired, destroying one of the pillars. Making it collapse as the huntsman used it as a natural barricade.

"Damn it we're pinned down." Coco said as she ducked under the pillar as Bullets flew over her head.

"We need air support to keep the white fang from landing more troops at Beacon!" someone said as Coco looked behind her over her shoulder.

"I'm just curious where they're getting all the troops from." Coco said

"Hey look!" Someone pointed out as they saw the Beacon Gunships fly out of the hangers of Beacon

"Yes!" The huntsman cheered as in one attack run all of the White fang Bullheads that were landed were destroyed. Leaving an opening for Reinforcements from Atlas and Beacon bullheads.

Coco sighed as the gunships opened up to reveal the Atlesian knights who jumped out as shock troopers. Making an even wider gap between the Huntsman and the White fang as they landed in front of the pinned down defenders.

And one of the people who landed closest to the Front was Guts, his black armor sticking out like a sore thumb against a background of white.

From behind him Qrow appeared on his shoulder as a bird "show off," he said

Guts slammed Dragonslayer down.

"To the White Fang who threaten Vale! My name is the Blackswordsmen and you get no further."

Adam growled and waved a few people to his side as he order the rest to attack.

"Gun them down!" Guts ordered as he spun around and walked in the line of troops as at once the Atlesian Knights raised their guns and fired In volley fire.

At Beacon Ozpin watched on the screen the lines we're holding. They were going to be ok. Well not okay but they would live another day.

Suddenly there was an alarm as the room flashed red making Ozpin look up with narrowed eyes

Ozpin scrolled through the camera feeds and found the issue Cinder was free and was flying past the beacon Air defenses. She had broken out of Ironwood's ship and was flying in the Air looking like a large Fireball as she physically slammed into the ground in Beacon courtyard breaching the defenses of the lower levels.

Cinder had gone after Amber where she suspected she would be.

And in doing so made it personal to Ozpin.

Ozpin stood up and grabbed his cane and moved to the Elevator.

"Headmaster?" Glynda asked who had been looking out the large window and saw the Fireball but didn't understand what it was but she had an idea.

"I'm going to stop a breakin. You hold down the tower." He said

Glynda nodded

Cinder walked out of the ruins of the Wall she busted through the large black cuffs meant to suppress her aura glowed red hot before cracking apart as the last of the Restraints burned to dust.

"Finally now I'm back on track." Cinder said as she approached the elevator

Suddenly the doors to the elevator to the lower levels were thrown open as Adam Taraus stood there with a small group of Soldiers. Apparently Ozpin wasn't the only one who noticed Cinder's entrance.

"Cinder…" Adam said with distaste

Cinder looked at him confused as to why he was angry at her as he strode forward. "What did I tell you about sending my men to fight off against the Blackswordsmen?" Adam asked

Cinder growled and fully turned towards the White fang members menacingly. And spoke slow as if trying to explain it to a young child

"In case you weren't aware Adam, I didn't launch the attack you did. So whatever foolhardy encounter you got yourself in, is on you not me." Cinder said

Adam clenched his fist. "I knew it was a mistake to work with a human like you. Always after your own gains!" Adam said as he pointed and the elite soldiers knelt down and leveled their guns at Cinder. Ready to kill her

Cinder however just Waved her hand and the guns either got too hot to hold. Melt or explode when they pulled the trigger.

"Argh!?" the Fang members cried out as the explosion's incompasatated them only one was alive as she threw her gun at Cinder which she batted away. Easily with a sly tempting smirk.

Adam growled at his injured and dead brothers as he drew his sword. Leveling it at Cinder

"Fine, I'll deal with you myself." He said

Cinder smiled "Oh Adam you are a fool. You can't beat me after all that's why you joined me, for protection." Cinder taunted as the only light illuminating her was the ball of fire from her hand.

Adam roared and lunged crossing the distance in a blink of an eye.

Cinder drew her arms back and made obsidian Swords and sidestepped as Adam slashed wide. Cinder didn't flinch but just swung her duel swords at Adam neck

Adam grit his teeth as he just avoided the strike with a crouch

Suddenly he heard gunfire and a couple shots went at Cinder and hit her which staggered Cinder and forced her to Run down the hall and stop once she realized that no one was following as Adam. Looked back to see all his friends dead. And Motherfucking Ozpin himself standing over them. With one of there Guns in his hand

But not mockingly as he expected

But in respect. He crouched towards the one who was alive before a female Fox fanuas and took her mask off to reveal they had a shocked expression on there face before closing her eyes and replacing there mask.

"I don't often condone to violence as a means to an end. But I'm so old that I'm brittle. Still, I try to pay respect when I can." Ozpin said as he strode over the bodies.

Cinder snarled

"Ozpin!" She hissed as she formed her swords into a bow and raised an arrow and fired at Ozpin

Ozpin was about to parry it with his cane but the arrow was cut In half by Adam.

"Your fight is with me Cinder…" He snarled.

Cinder was blindsided by the betrayal when he was right there.

"What are you doing? HE IS THE ENEMY!" She waved her hand frantically trying to allow Adam to See reason.

"And I made it clear Cinder, The moment you send my brothers against the Blackswordsmen our goals no longer Coincide and you've managed to do it twice!" Adam roared as he swung

"That was on you!" Cinder roared angry she was being blamed by his fuck upset as she parried with the bow broke it into two swords and swung at Adam in a X.

Adam blocked the attack with a swing at the center of the two swings. Stopping both at the same time.

Ozpin smiled at this, with Adam. He wasn't a match for Cinder alone but Ozpin was cunning, if he could keep Adam alive long enough to weaken Cinder he could have two birds with one stone. It was because of that. He charged with a long memory raised to strike.

"Duck!" Adam heard

Adam did so just in time as Ozpin's cane came flying over his head and hit Cinder knocking her off balance

"Oof!" She grunted as she fell on the backfoot.

Adam capitalized on this and drew a long slice across cinder's chest. As he landed in a crouch past her and Slid Wilt into Blush as the Massive fountain of blood erupted from her chest making her stagger.

"Is…is this the boat…your setting yourself in?…traitor?" Cinder asked as she waved her hands over the wounds Cauterizing them with her magic it would be faster than allowing her Aura to heal them.

"Oh don't think that I betrayed my kind Cinder…it was you who did this…and you who will take the fall!" Adam said

Cinder growled as her hands glowed. Adam charged

Ozpin's eyes widened as he recognized it as magic! "ADAM GET BACK!" Ozpin said

Unfortunately Adam was in the Air going in a downward arc and was unable to dodge was hit by the blast and sent flying and slam against the wall.

"Argh!" He moaned, Ozpin sighed the battle had entered the final part. He knew he was not strong enough to fight off Cinder himself even with half the maiden's powers. But he can at least maime her or kill her from excess wounds. Especially if she was facing the pain from Cauterizing her wounds.

Cinder smiled "you know she was right…you are arrogant." She said trying to taunt Ozpin

Ozpin was silent; eyes narrowed as he gripped his cane harder he tossed the Gun he stole from the white fang aside it would do nothing for this fight now. He stood still in the middle of the room completely calm while Cinder was the exact opposite breathing heavy and full of rage. And in a second they clashed faster than you could blink.

In the darkened corridor of the Lower levels under Beacon. Only flashes of green and vermilion are illuminated in the darkness. More flashes are shown as Ozpin and Cinder Fall clash weapons against each other. After a clash, Cinder slides back, using her hand to melt the floor below her, and summons ice crystals from the newly-formed substance, hurling them towards Ozpin. Ozpin deflects them all by moving at superhuman speed, and then darts forward and delivers a bunch of strikes at Cinder with his cane, with the last blow launching her back. Cinder then floats mid air by unleashing her half-Maiden power. Ozpin then slams his cane into the floor, forming a spherical force-field around him. Cinder then unleashes a powerful fire blast, with Ozpin leaping into the attack with the barrier protecting him. As he closes in on her, the brightness of the attack is blinding.

Around the school the huntsman had gotten there second wind as they pushed back the white fang

"Sister I've gotten no signal from Adam and our lines are falling." One soldier said

The commander turned away from an explosion from Nora who was laughing maniacally in the background

"Tell the troops to fallback!" She said

"But-but what about Adam?" The brother asked

"If Adam is strong he will survive if not it's foolishness killed him." She said as she went to stand up to declare her orders only to be shot in the back

"That's not the way Adam runs things sister…the white fang now are his fingers. If Adam doesn't survive then the white fang has no reason to exist. We fight until our fate is decided for us." Another white fang member said

The women growled "you son of a bitch." She hissed

Suddenly the wing of heavy weapons from White Fang arrived with the Atlesian paladin prototypes. As they dropped down in rows of 3 making 9 in total as they started to gun down any opposition.

"Son of a bitch!" Coco hissed as she felt like a seesaw going back and forth over and over.

Yatsuhashi looked around trying to help but was pinned down "I can't find any way to get close to it." He said

Then we will have to hit it from behind, Velvet!" She said

"R-really!?" She asked excited

"Just make it count." Coco said tiredly

Velvet nods and strode forward; she holds her hand out as Anesidora glows, forming a scythe. Grabbing the copy of Crescent Rose Velvet leaps into the air, dodging cannon fire as she imitates Ruby's overhead spin, she descends slashing at the Paladin. She then replicates Myrtenaster to deflect the Paladin's punch and land a few blows before pushing it back with an Ember Celica imitation. Once after she lands a few shots, she slides under the Paladin's fist, similar to Blake as she uses a Gambol Shroud copy and uses its string to trip over the mech, before moving to the second Paladin by lopping off its hand, and jabbing it in the head with the cleaver.

Before it can react, it is immediately peppered with holographic bullets, thanks to a copy of Gianduja. As it moves forward, Velvet switches to using Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang to counter a blow, as she lands another few hits while landing a downward blow from above with a copy of Magnhild, severing a limb.

As the first Paladin attempts to recover, Velvet immediately copies Floating Array, as she leaps off the second Paladin and slices apart its legs before blasting it at full power. However, another first Paladin sucker punches Velvet. Sending her flying

Ahh-ARGH!" Her pain shifts into a yell as she forms dragonslayer and cleaves through the Paladin in one go.

"S-shit." Velvet said not expecting such power.

"VELVET MOVE!" Coco yelled

"Huh?" Velvet turned to Coco before she looked up to see a Paladin starting to fall ontop of her.

However she is saved by Guts. By cutting it clean in two down the middle

You've done good here but right now we need to finish off the White fang." Guts said

In the lower levels Cinder limped away holding a damaged arm covered in torn clothes scavenged. "Damn old man you were persistent." But no matter your dead now." She said

Adam looked up just as Cinder left and he dragged himself over to Ozpin who by all suprise still clung to life. Adam's limbs failed him multiple times but eventually he got to the Headmaster.

"Ozpin tell me…why fight with me?" He asked

Ozpin dying coughed "It wasn't about some noble sacrifice if that's what you're wondering. You were the weaker opponent and I couldn't take Cinder alone. That just left you." He said

"But that doesn't make any…" Adam said no more as Ozpin passed

Adam snarled

"Damn old man. Even if I wasn't a student in this school you still taught me something… perhaps the Unity I sought had nothing to do with taking it by force but using said force for other ways." He said as he left.

Ozpin smiled as he with his last ounce of strength pushed the emergency button on his scroll.

At that time everyone's scroll got the same message {"Headmaster Ozpin dead!…defend the tower."}

Cinder smiled as she walked down the hall of the bottom floor where the vault was and turned the corner where She expected to find Amber only to find it was empty and the machine that held her was open but Amber was gone.

'No…' she thought as she walked forward. "Probably an illusion or something she had to be here it just had to be.

Cinder didn't notice as behind her Adam Taurus slipped in and got in position for an ambush

Cinder growled and threw her hands down "ugh where is she where is my power!" She groaned

"Maybe if you realize your power wasn't really yours to begin with…" Adam said

Cinder spun around growled and casually snapped back her bow drew an arrow and fired to which Adam caught. And pulled away from his head as it exploded harmlessly from his face.

"Foolish girl, I know all your tricks now." He said

Cinder smiled "do you?" She asked smoothly as she raised her arms and pillars of fire lept toward Adam who dodged by jumping on the walls. As the pillars started to follow him.

"YOU THINK RUNNING WILL SAVE YOU?!" Cinder snapped as she reformed her bow and shot at Adam he dodged several arrows which made Cinder angrier but the last one hit him in the leg sending him to the ground.

Cinder smiled as she walked forward wanting to stand over her opponent as she drained the life from there eyes.

"I'll have a nice time watching you burn." Cinder said as she raised a hand about to touch Adam.

"And I won't let anyone hurt my students!" Ozpin said from behind making both look at Ozpin shocked

He looked on his last legs bruises Face eyes nearly swollen shut and he was favoring one leg and his body leaned on another. He held onto his cane more like an actual cane than a weapon and his body swayed and spazzed as his muscles acted without his control.

"W-hat-how are you alive!?" She asked

Ozpin pulled out an needle from his pocket and he explained.

"Aura boosters, 30 minutes of supercharged aura able to make a huntsman fight after being critically wounded so they can focus on healing and maybe survive. I'm too wounded to actually heal from the wounds you gave me Cinder…but I can still at least kill you." Ozpin said as he stabbed himself with the needle draining it all

"Now I've never used my magic in conjunction with a aura booster before. I was too afraid I'd go mad with power but this is the only way." He said as his eyes lit up in golden flames."I can do my duty as a huntsman!" He said

Cinder smirked

"And she believed you gave up your ways in favor of bureaucracy." Cinder said turning to face him her hands flexed and held a fire in each.

"I like to recount my past every once in a while." Ozpin said before he vanished

Ozpin appeared in front of Cinder and went up swing Cinder smirk was wiped off her face as the attack was too fast to process

"H-how!" Cinder gasped as Ozpin moaned

"Oh baby yes! I am back!" He roared dancing around like he was 20 instead of being like 90

Cinder growled and launched a fireball at Ozpin who lazily waved his hand and stopped it in flight. His cheerful demeanor faded into more disappointment.

"You clearly don't deserve the powers of magic that have been blessed to you. Clearly you didn't study otherwise you would realize a basic fireball is clearly impossible to wound a fellow opponent that had access to magic!" Ozpin said as he launched the fireball Back to Cinder but put his own magic into it, sending her flying over Adam and crash onto the floor in a heap.

"Ah this is what I've been talking about, it's as if all my magic I've given up before has returned to me… clearly Magick and Aura are more interlaced than I thought." Ozpin said to himself.

"Will you shut up?" Cinder snapped standing up

Ozpin looked at Cinder in shock clearly having all but dismissed her.

"Oh you're still here, no matter." He said as he waved his hand and transformed the rubble nearby into a gun and shot Cinder. Which staggered her but she remained standing

"You think that will stop me old man?!" Cinder snarled as she lunged only to be stopped by Adam who intercepted the Strike.

"No he doesn't…but I will." Adam said

"Traitor!" Cinder roared

"No…I'm fighting for what's right! What I should have been doing from the beginning." Adam said laying his intention's out bare.

Adam jumped back to stand next to Ozpin.

"Seeing as I'm doing this, I want your security that none of my brothers will be injured as they leave." Adam said

"If you had come to us before Adam we would have secured a peace treaty with the fanuas rights groups without the need for violence. It was something I had settled with Ghira Belladonna before he left the organization." Ozpin said as he dodged an attack from Cinder

"I-I didn't know." Adam said in awe. As he swung his sword at Cinder but she dodged

"Probably because he'd think you'd disagree." Ozpin said

Adam nodded "Probably At the time I would have but over time I've mellowed out. I've noticed that these attacks have only led to my brothers being more dead than anything." He said

Ozpin nodded "If you really want to help, order the White fang to stop attacking the school and take out the Grimm invasion happening in the city." Ozpin said

Adam dodged an attack from Cinder and nodded to Ozpin

"Cover me!" He snapped as Ozpin slammed his cane down and engulfed Adam in a shield as he toyed with his scroll.

Ozpin charged at Cinder which she dodged easily. "Foolish old man, you're slowing down again. Wait you haven't been using your magic lately…oh I see." Cinder said as she raised her hand at Adam

Only to be hit in the head with a long memory. "Lesson two on magic you need concentration to perform it." Ozpin said

Cinder jumped back and make several pillars and shot spikes at Ozpin

"Why are you teaching me lessons!" Cinder snapped

"Because you need to learn." Ozpin said

As he grabbed a spike and it vanished which caused him to shiver.

"Lesson 3 a magic user can absorb attacks of magic to fuel there reserves so long as you don't use it!" Ozpin said

"So that's why." Cinder said

Ozpin dropped his cane

"Hardly…lesson four. The power of magic is freely given. And like that it can be taken away."

Ozpin said as he rose into the air

"Forbidden technique: Mana soul render!" Ozpin said

Cinder scoffed "you actually pronounce your abilities like a weeb in Mistral?!" Cinder said only to find she couldn't move.

"Only because this technique is outlawed, to risk not saying it, heck even using it without the express ability of the god of darkness I could have my magic split from me and never get it back. Fortunately he's not here." Ozpin said

Cinder screamed as she felt her soul leave her body "AHHHH!"

Her body warped and twisted in odd angles as it was clear that several bones were broken as her left eye began bleeding and her fingers twisted back and broke.

Before her body hit the ground with a large Thud

And she laid there motionless.

On the ground Adams order to stop attacking Beacon and start attacking the Grimm. This was a bit of confusion to many of the white fang but the religious zealots who revered Adam went ahead with his orders anyways. While others decided to Nope out and started to flee into the woods.

The huntsman were confused as to what happened and were shocked they stayed in there positions not sure if it was a trap to lure them out.

Fifteen minutes later a ping was broadcasted telling the Huntsman {"focus on the Grimm The White fang were now in a peace alliance until Vale is secure. They are not your enemy."} This message went out by an anonymous account called "The Headmaster."

The huntsman understood the Order and went out to attack the Grimm.

Back In the vault Ozpin stood up and swayed. "The white fangs survival has been secure." Ozpin said

Adam nodded "I also want those peace talks to go ahead, speak to Ghira and the high Leader. If I survive I'll be sure to join in." He said

Ozpin nodded "I will not be there but someone who I certify as my envoy will be." He said

"Give me a code so I know it's you." Adam said

"Ozpin lives…" Ozpin said

Adam nodded

Finally Cinder's corpse fell to the ground and started to glow.

"It's done, Beacon is safe." Ozpin said as he fell to knees in a coughing fit

Adam ran up to him. And cradled him.

Ozpin grabbed his shoulder

"Your troops…they won't accept any orders from any huntsman. But they will listen to you. Lead them, trust Guts. Tell him afterwards he's in charge." Ozpin said

Adam nodded as he stayed with Ozpin as he died and his soul left to find a new host. As well as Adam watched as The glow from Cinder flew off to another part that went to Ironwood's flagship.

Adam stood up and as a last sign of respect he closed Ozpin's eyes as he left the room. Or was then he realized some.

Adam looked at Cinders body and snarled

"I don't know if your employer can raise the dead. But I will ensure they can't, not with you." Adam said as he used his semblance to completely obliterate her body.

Back on the ground the White Fang had repositioned to be the most useful seeing as many had range weapons they moved to the ridge overlooking the Emerald forest and started firing of at any Grimm they saw.

The Atleasin knights lines up behind the White Fang which innerved them a bit before they realized they were shooting past them.

"ALL WHITE FANG PERSONNEL!" Adam roared from the base of the tower. As he exited it getting everyone's attention in the courtyard.

"Focus on the Grimm! Beacon is not your enemy!" He said

"What are you getting at Adam?" Blake snarled ready to attack him.

"I've changed my ways Blake…an old man taught me a valuable lesson…one I needed most dearly…" he said as a tear leaked from under his mask

Blake recoiled seeing actual human emotions on her partner after so long it was heartwarming.

"A-Adam is…is it you?" Blake asked

"I'm back Blake. I'm sorry I was gone for so long." He said

Guts looked over everything and nodded "I assume Ozpin is back in the tower?" Guts asked

"Ozpin is dead." Adam said sadly

Ruby and the others gasped

"Dead?" Jaune asked

"Then…who do we go to for orders?" Coco asked

Adam nodded "I assume who your local huntsman was. But Ozpin did say Guts was in charge." Adam said

Guts processed the information and spoke jumping into action "Adam go lead the White fang on the walls. Bart, Port, get Goodwitch from the tower on the ground. You 3 and Qrow will defend Beacon's courtyard." Guts said

"Wha-?" Oobleck gasped at the outrageous order but Guts kept speaking yelling even "I NEED ALL AVAILABLE FLIGHT OPERATORS CAPABLE OF FLYING TO TAKE OFF NOW SCREEN THE AIR FOR FLYING GRIMM I DON'T LIKE THE SKY'S EMPTY!" Guts snapped

"All other huntsman are to make a frontal charge against the Grimm. There's too many out there to change the tide alone with just Atlas holding the line we need to go offensive." Guts said

Ruby nodded "Very well. TEAM RWBY YOU GOT YOUR ORDERS MOVE!" Ruby barked before charging off.

"CFVY in line!" Coco ordered as she ran after the legend.

Guts looked over the final stage of the Battle of beacon had begun.

On Ironwood's flagship. Amber was resting in the tube when suddenly a wisp of orange appeared and flew into Amber. her eyes shot open and she began screaming as she grabbed her head "ARGHHH GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Amber lost consciousness hearing the maniacal laugh in her head.

Guts watched as the groups filtered out to do what they needed to do. Guts looked back at Oobleck. Port and Qrow.

"I'm going to head out and aid the Huntsman I can." He said

Qrow nodded "Good luck kid." He said

Guts nodded and rushed off.

Guts headed to the launchpads into the emerald forest and went flying.

He landed in the forest and found where he landed was infested with Grimm

'Heh lie and wait to ambush your foe huh?' Guts through as the Grimm Snarled and charged

"Unfortunately for you I'm an Apex predator." Guts said as he cleaved 3 Beowolf's with one swing.

"Come on! Give me a challenge!" Guts roared

(Ruby)

Ruby looked back and waved "come on! Forward!" She said as she leveled Crescent Rose at a grimm who was clawing at a Paladin as she fired the Paladin paused

{"Red?"} Roman asked

Ruby paused "Roman? What the fuck are you doing?" She asked

{"I'm saving Vale as a way to cut a deal and perhaps boost my career!"} Roman said as he got back to firing.

{"SP-05 why did you stop firing get back to Grimm killing?"} The brigade General asked

{"Aw shut up you don't control me."} Roman said as he fired anyways

"Ruby what do we do?" Weiss asked

"Nothing so long as Roman is helping we don't move against him but once he does go for the kill." Ruby commanded

Roman snapped a look around "Red if your there the chokepoint isn't working the Grimm are flanking on the right side deep into the forest." Roman said

Ruby nodded

"RWBY JNPR CRDL and anyone else who's not good at range weapons follow me!" Ruby said

Coco shook her head "kid playing the leader..." she said

Ruby and most of the first years followed deep into the forest scanning "keep your eyes up Grimm could be Anywhere." Ruby said

Suddenly a Beowolf lunged at Ruby to which Ruby beheaded it easy.

Yang punched another as everyone felt with there respective Grimm

"A-an ambush?" Cardin asked

"Can't be that's high level thinking Grimm aren't capable of that." A fourth year said

"Always expect the unexpected. For now we will consider it a possibility." Ruby said

"Are you stupid girl i told you it's impossible!" The fourth year said

"Fine if you want to stay here and die go ahead otherwise follow me." Ruby said

The fourth year was silent. And growled

Ruby and the others moved to break out of the encirclement they were successful as they found a clear patch of

After a moment they realized why it was so clear.

Guts was swinging Dragonslayer at any of the Grimm. Who got too close.

"Let's deal with the Grimm behind us!" Ruby said as they spun around and held their section of the emerald forest.

Guts was swinging his sword but his mind was else wear.

He was back in the Hundred Years' War. As he swung his sword and killed knights trying to defile Casca.

'This is what I am. I'm no strategist. Nor a hero. Just a man with a swords and I'm swinging it.' He thought

Yang looked over and gasped "Woah!" She said if others turn

"It's like an art form!" Someone gasped

"Come on we can ogle how we fight later right now we have a school to defend!" Ruby rallied

Jaune nodded and strode forward. "Let's see if this works." He said

He then impaled his sword into the ground everyone looked at him confused as he started to pull at it

"Jaune …what are you doing?" Ruby asked

Suddenly a giant crack opened up in the ground and a massive earthwork waist high wall appeared

Jaune panted "Damn…that took a lot more out of me than I expected." He said

"Holy crap Vomit boy!" Yang said

Ruby hushed her as he talked to Jaune

"Jaune can you do that again on a larger scale?" She asked

Jaune nodded tiredly "I can but I'm going to need someone to cover me while I feed my aura that takes a lot." Jaune said

"Wait that wasn't your semblance?" Weiss asked

Jaune shook his head "no my Semblance is recovery you'd recognize it if my hands are glowing." Jaune said

"Holy shit a lost aura technique!" A fourth year called

"ENOUGH WE HAVE A JOB TO DO, JNPR go with Jaune back to the paladins and establish an earthworks there. Everyone else we go on the offensive and push the Grimm out of our forest!" Ruby called

The students there rallied under her.

"Let's go!" She said

Back with the Paladin's

Roman's Paladin shivered as he heard reports on the comma {"Sir left flank is failing!"}

The Brigadier general growled {"Damn it it's hard enough we're being flanked with the forest but from the ridge too?"} He hissed

Roman looked over and saw why

"Aww shit I take it these Paladin's aren't meant to stand up to a Goliath?" He asked

He watched as a Goliath stomped forward and single-handedly crushed a Super-Paladin under its foot as he heard the scream on the comma

Roman winched "yea I guess not." He said

Suddenly there was the sound of glass shattering and Neo appeared holding the pilot.

"Good job Neo." Roman said

"Y-you saved me." The Paladin pilot said

"Yeah yeah, you're a foot soldier now grab a rifle and hold the line!" Roman said

The pilot nodded as he drew his pistol.

Roman snarled

"Missiles loaded?!" He asked

"Confirm you have a green light to fire." An AI said

"All missiles acquire Target lock!" Roman said as he looked to see the actual targets being the several Goliath's

"Target coordinations." Roman said as he broadcasted the coordinates "missiles fire!" Roman said as he launched the missles at the Goliath's which exploded killing them

"Yeah!" Roman cried

Coco looked down "the Grimm are still coming!" She called

"Coming through!" Jaune snapped as he pushed his way back to front

"Jaune what are you doing?!" Coco asked

Jaune didn't answered as he stabbed his sword in the ground "covering!" Pyrrha said as she started shooting

"Big boom!" Nora called as she launched her grenades into the air. And Ren started to fire.

Jaune was able to pull up the earthworks and had spikes so the Grimm couldn't climb over it.

"Holy shit Jaune." Coco said

Jaune swayed but Pyrrha grabbed him and just turned around as a Beowolf lunged impaling itself on the dirt spikes and taking a swing at Pyrrha before Coco shot it dead and it died from the spike

"Get him out of there!" Coco called as she started to fire her chain gun as Pyrrha pulled him away.

{"Damn good kid! Alright it's like shooting fish in a barrel!"} Roman said

On the ridge The White fang watched as the Paladins got a lot of the action and advanced out of the range of fire from on the ridge. they moaned at te lack of action "ugh no fare." A new recruit said

"Yeah but hey perhaps our time will come." Another said

Suddenly there was a scroll call from James ironwood on a dead Atlas soldier.

{"All atlas personnel this is an emergency. Anyone not doing any physical fighting please respond!"}

Adam picked it up "This is Adam Tarus and the White Fang Contingent what do you need?" He said

James was in the streets of Vale having dropped with a Special contingent of Atlas students who were slated to possibly take over the Ace opts fighting a street to street battle. As he fired his revolver.

"Adam Taurus? Fuck it it's good enough! There's Grimm all over the city and bunches of civilians all around. I can't reach them." He said

Adam nodded "we're on our way!" He said as he hung up and pocketed the scroll

"WHITEFANG LISTEN UP WHERE BEING HUMANITARIAN AID NOW THERE IS GRIMM ALL OVER THE CITY AND SEVERAL POCKETS OF CIVILIANS WE NEED TO RESCUE!" Adam said

The white fang roared "I'll not lie to you. I sent us down a dark path before a path I'm burdened with now, but from this time forward we will fight for what right? We won't give up our dreams of fanuas equality but we won't rampage on the civilians anymore, we will save them and show them we stand with them together when the crisis comes!" Adam yelled

All the white fang roared as the AK-200 stayed motionless

Adam turned to a robot

"Guard the ridge and if any Grimm sneak past the defenders kill on sight." Adam said

Surprisingly the Atlaeasian knight nodded and made a confirmation beep.

Adam turned back to the white fang "find a way into the city. Heavy weapons Divert course to the heaviest pockets of Grimm in the city." Adam said

{"Yes sir!"} The air wings said

"Adam, we've got a huge fleet of Ariel Grimm heading our way." A white fang member said

"Has Beacon launched all its fighters?" Adam asked

"They're requesting more reinforcements…we're the only ones with military bullheads." They said

Adam nodded

"Very well divert half the fleet to aid the airforce and the rest pick us up. We will do quick flyby's over the city and land on top of high rises that way your not in danger from the Grimm and can join as soon as possible." Adam said

{"Understood over and out."} The women said

Adam turned to his troops and explained the situation "I want 4-6 to a bullhead no cramping up. I want at least one square leader and one super-weapons for a ship." He explained

At the tower Qrow snorted "damn I'd not think I'd ever see the day the white fang would work with the huntsman." He said

"Something's changed." Glynda said

"Itis History After All." Oobleck said fast

"I just wish we weren't sitting here." Port said

Glynda looked around "yeah in fact why aren't the anti Air & Grimm counter measures being activated right now." Glynda asked

Qrow nodded "Glynda go check it out we'll hold the line." Qrow said Glynda nodded and left.

In the Air the atlas Gunships were dogfighting with Nevermore's, Griffin's and Manticore's

{"Red 2 pull up!"} A voice said on coms

"I can't their all over me!" Another women said as a blast of energy was launched from the mouth of the Grimm

"I'm hit!" But I'm ok it's just the wing!" She said

{"You've got several more coming from below!"} The comma screeched

"Damn it!" The woman hissed as she dropped her engines thrust to nothing, letting her ship into freefall.

As she fell she targeted the two Grimm flying up to her from below and blasted them

"Woohooo!" She said as she activated the engines again

{"Gods Damn it red 2 giving me a heart attack over here."} The comma said

"Sorry, lead, why don't you give me a beer when we get back on ship?" The woman asked

{"More like a court-martial."} Comms said the women pouted.

"We've got a lot of sky to clear" she said

"Wait enhance center screen grid 40x44." She said as she zoomed in on the 4 ships holding up Amity

"Careify." She said

Sure enough there were Grimm attacking the ships

"The fleet is under attack if those ships go down, our work we've done goes to nothing!" She said

{"Copy all wings Blue Wing is under attack!"} comms roared

{"All fighters divert attacks to defend the Blue fleet."} Comms said

All the gunships flew towards the arena

On the Atlas ships the captain watched as he was helpless as a Nevermore pecked against the hull of his ship

"Damn it!" He hissed

"Captain, we've gotten reports that our fighters are returning to us." A women said

The captain nodded that they were going to get help after all "Very well can someone get out there and try to repair the comms network!" He yelled

The air wings flew over and started to fire on the Grimm which they flew off

{"Gold wing break off and stay to defend the ships we will pull away to keep the Grimm off you."} Red leader said as they flew off

Gold Wing stayed with the fleet flying around

In the city. A squad of bulkheads flew over the city. Some had Atlesian paladin prototypes attacked on the undercarriage when dropped into the center of the city. While others stayed in the air with there doors open as they started to shoot into the horde of Grimm.

Adam jumped onto a roof followed by his elite squad

"Breech and clear the buildings for any survivors and bring them to the roof." Adam said

The elite squad nodded and started to take the stairs

Top floor let's go!" The leader said as they kicked the door's in

"ANYONE HERE OPEN UP WE'RE HERE TO RESCUE YOU!" He said

He got no response

"We'll go door to door to confirm no one is here." He said as they headed to each door

Several times the White Fang kicked the door in to find a civilian a women screamed "don't worry we're not here to kill you!" He said

"My baby don't hurt my baby!?" She cried

"Your baby will be fine, grab them and get to the roof." He said

After the women realized she was not under threat of death she followed them to the roof.

"Keep going, we need to get through all these floors as fast as possible. I want 30 minutes per floor max and I want no injuries!" The white fang squad leader said

The squad nodded and ran off.

All across the city. The breach and clear was occurring in a good time and order. A damn stood overlooking it all proudly as he looked to see a full roof of civilians

"Pilot!" Adam pointed

"Copy!" He said as he flew down to the roof and opened the doors "get in next stop Beacon Academy!" He said

"But beacon was destroyed a civilian said confused

"Wrong so long as at least one Huntsman still stands Beacon stands with it." Adam said

"Why should we trust you!? You nearly killed us all?" A young girl asked but her mother hushed her

Adam strode forward "I know I've caused untold damage to your city, your families, and your homes. I know I will never get your support from you because of that damage but I've turned over a new leaf and I plan to stay." Adam said

The people didn't know what to think but they didn't have the time as they doors opened and Beacon academy courtyard appeared

"Beacon everyone off!" The pilot said

Adam watched as everyone was off

{"Mayday mayday this is Sun wukong at the VPD chief we're pinned down with civilians and need an evac how copy?!"} He asked "give me that?!" Another voice said as the line went dead.

(A while ago)

At the police station Team SSSN was being junior detectives. However the police chief was an asshole and didn't allow them to view any of the ongoing cases, only looking at previous cases he had with his " fellow huntsman buddies." It was a farce.

Sun had heard the general order to defend the streets of Vale but the police chief didn't buy it as he went on business as usual. Including paperwork

Sun sighed as the chief wouldn't let anyone but His most professional staff enter to talk to him. And because Neptune flirted with the secretary on there first day here she wouldn't send a message to the chief about the problem

"Neptune you really fucked up man." Sun sighed

"Sorry!" Neptune moaned

"we could just head out and deal with the Grimm on the street's Sage said

"No we can't, we're on our last strike if we get one more we fail the mission." Sun said

Scarlet moaned "that's lame!" He said

Suddenly there was a breaking of glass and a scream as Sun ran out to see what it was.

He looked to see a desk clerk trying to be pulled through a broken window by a Grimm arm

"Hang on, I got you!" Sun called as he spun his gun chucks and hit the Grimm making it run away

She sighed "thanks I thought I was a goner." She said

"Do you have a radio I can use?" Sun asked

Sun got on the radio and called for help only for the police chief to come out and snatch the radio away.

"There is no threat, it's only leftist propaganda!" He snapped

"Sir then what the fuck is that?!" Neptune said as he pointed out the window to see a hybrid of several Grimm

"Oh fuck open fire!" The chief said Sun grabbed the radio again and went to explain but the chief cut him off by snapping back

"Ha cowardly Huntsman now you get to see how the superior Police force handles threats!" The chief said

Sun rolled his eyes at his stupidity something that was confirmed as the chiefly went flying a few seconds later blasting through several walls and vanished from sight

Sun reached for his scroll, he recognized at least something of this situation he knew just the man to call Guts.

In the forest Guts got the scroll call: {"Yo dude it's Sun we've got some monstrous Grimm over here I think I heard Ruby call them Apostle Grimm?"} Sun said

Guts paused mid swing and looked over to the other Huntsman

"RUBY?!" He called

"Yeah?!" She asked

"I'm needed in the city; some apostle have been spotted there." Guts said

Ruby nodded "good luck love." Guts took off in the forest charging into the horde of Grimm not stopping as he leveled Dragonslayer in front of him like a plow.

"Holy oum!" Someone said looking over the carage

Guts didn't stop until he reached the city and he looked over the black sludge that has engulfed it

"We'll time to get to work!" Guts said

As he jumped down into the horde.

At beacon Glynda checked over all the security measures and finally found the switch that was labeled "Beacon defenses do not flip down." Flipped down

Glynda narrowed her eyes. Someone had sabotaged them but it doesn't matter. As she flipped the switch up the guns came online as Glynda got a beep on her scroll she looked to see a target reticle "clearly Ozpin was doing something other than paperwork." Tell him to do paperwork he gets cold feet but tell him to defend the city he goes all out." Glynda muttered to herself.

She set the guns to Auto fire as well as activite several Beacon security robots which were more outdated than Atlases but were stronger and more superior than them in any way being able to go one on one to any huntsman and stand the test.

"Defend Beacon!" Glynda said simply to them the security robots nodded

Glynda spoke to her scroll "Oobleck, Port, Qrow, get to the city let's establish a safe area for the civilians!" She said

"Ok I'm on my way!" Qrow said

"Us too!" Port cried

Adam looked out over the city to see the devastation. Multiple buildings had gone up in flames, you couldn't see the streets as it was covered in a wave a black.

Adam shuttered he could feel the bleakness in the air. He grit his teeth.

"White fang! We're moving to to establish a secure point in Vale! Find a spot where we can start to deploy troops and we will slowly force the Grimm away!" Adam declared as the bullhead flew off.

Adam looked back at Beacon to see the Anti air guns starting to fire. Adam smiled "finally something is going right." He said

"Sir even better news!" The pilot said

Adam looked over to see Several of the chains being lifted up out of Amity Colosseum. It was free flying on its own.

"Good. Now we have that force with us as well." Adam said

{"This is Blue squad, we are free. Repeat, we are free!"} Blue leader said

On the bridge everyone cheered

"Sir that's a lot of Grimm in the city." A women said

"Then we have a lot of work to do Deploy the rest of the forces I want all the Grimm cleared away!" The captain said

"Yes sir!" The women nodded

Guts was In the city swinging Dragonslayer around sloshing the Grimm apart.

Several times they tried to lunge at him but he threw them off.

Guts roared as he charged through them to the police station.

He got there just in time to see Sun wukong get thrown out the window.

"Neptune hang on!" Sun said

"Don't bother!" Guts snapped

Sun looked over

"Guts?!" He asked

"I'm here, have those alive in there start to head to the southeast corner of the city closest to Beacon apparently we're setting up a safe spot there to retake the city." Guts said

Sun nodded before he yelled "EVERYONE PACK IT UP UNLESS YOU WANNA DIE FOLLOW ME!?" He said

The police Cheif got up "you stupid Monkey don't give the orders around here-AHH!" He screamed as the Giant Grimm picked him up

"Shit!" The chief said as he pulled out his pistol and fired he shot several times even managing to hit it in the eye making it drop him

"Fuck that was rough! Alright pack it up the Prescient is lost!" He said

Sun rolled his eyes "Finally!" He said

Guts charged at the Apostle Grimm swinging Dragonslayer at him

However the Apostle bashed it away.

"Impossible…only one Apostle I know can actually passively block Dragonslayer…" Guts said

"Yes…only one…" the Grimm said

"Heh I had wondered if you'd actually come, Zodd it seems you're eager to face me again. Instead of waiting like Grunbeld did and appearing at full power." Guts said

"Oh Grunbeld did that huh? Well I guess I'll ask him then. Farewell For today but now I am coming back for a real rematch." Zodd said

"Good I'd hate to actually beat you while you're weakened. I want to see how far I've really come." Guts said

Zodd smiled, "one day perhaps we can see each other as friends or rivals."

Guts shrugged as Zodd took off.

"Guts what the fuck he got away?!" Sun asked

"He won't do any harm." Guts said

Suddenly there was a shake which nearly sent Guts to the ground

Elsewhere Glynda and Qrow just arrived in the city fighting off Grimm, before they are shaken by another tremor. Qrow stabs his sword into the ground to keep himself standing.

Goodwitch throws a Beowolf to the side "No…" she says in near horror.

At Mountain Glenn the mountain starts to violently shake and crumble, as various body parts of a monstrous-looking Grimm are revealed, before the mountain completely breaks apart, releasing a titanic Wyvern. The Wyvern roars and flies over the abandoned Mountain range, heading towards Beacon. As it flies, it exudes a black, tar-like substance which drops to the ground in the city of Vale and spawns various Grimm.

"Oh fuck!" Sun gasped

Guts snapped a look at the team "get the civilians to the safe area now!" Guts said

"What about you?" Sun asked

Guts said nothing he just looked at the Grimm

"No, no your insane even for you you can't handle that thing?!" Sun argued

"Someone has too." Guts said as he strode off.

Sun sighed "mother fucker." He swore

"Boss, what do we do?" Neptune said

Sun sighed "find the safe area. Once we do I'll get in contact with Ruby and she'll be able to calm Guts down." Sun said

Ruby looked over to see the giant Grimm flying towards the city.

The Paladin brigade started to move "alright we got new orders move into the city and establish a safe area move!" The brigadier general said as the Paladin's and the Atleasin knights started to move seeing as no more Grimm were at the ridge.

"Alright huntsman, pack it up into the city!" Ruby said

{"Ruby RUBY CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"} A voice called on her scroll

"Sun? What is it?" Ruby asked

{"It's Guts he's going after that Grimm dragon alone!"} He said

{"WHAT?!"} Ruby panicked

{"You have to stop him!"}?Sun said

"I will thank's Sun!" Ruby said as she hung up

Yang looked over to Ruby "what's up?" She asked

Ruby pointed to the Grimm Dragon

"Oh…" Yang said

"Guts is there too." Ruby said

"I take it you are too?" Yang asked

"He's my boyfriend Yang." Ruby said

Yang nodded "Well good luck."

Ruby nodded and tapped her scroll to call her rocket locker and hopped on. "Weiss is in charge until I'm back, help establish the safe zone in Vale and get plenty of rest too! We're going to be doing this for a while." Ruby said as she pressed a button on the locker and flew off.

"That's smart…" Yang said commenting on the locker

In the Air The Grimm dragon flew on its course prepared to slam into the communications Tower

Only to be hit as a rocket locker slammed into its side throwing it off course to hit the ground near Beacon.

Guts finally got close to it and realized Ruby got there first.

"Ruby get out of there?!" Guts said

"I'm not letting you die here?!" Ruby snapped as she fired a shot from her scythe to land next to Guts right as the Grimm tried to chomp her legs off.

"To be fair I wasn't going to try to prevent you from fighting." Guts said

"Good. Because I'm going to be dead weight in this relationship." Ruby joked

Guts smirked "never." He said the the Grimm dragon got up and roared

"Let's go!" Guts snapped as both he and Ruby rushed off together at max speed.

Guts did a lot of damage as Ruby did a lot of minor cuts but in two seconds the dragon started to look as if it would fall apart at the seams

The dragon roared and flapped its wings, sending Ruby and Guts flying. Guts caught Ruby and leveled his metal gauntlet at the Grimm and fired

The cannonball being a cannonball slammed apart the flesh of the Grimm in one shot making it wobble in the air before it crashed down again no longer able to take off.

"Alright!" Ruby cheered

"We're not done yet." Guts said

From the underside more creeps and Beowolf's spawned from underneath it.

"Aw crap." Ruby said

"You deal with the small fry, I'll cleave its dead off." Guts said

Ruby nodded "got it."

Guts and Ruby charged and together they dealt with the Giant dragon Grimm

"Holy crap." Ruby sighed

"Yea… that was a tough one." Guts said

"There are still a lot of Grimm in the city." Ruby said hopelessly.

Guts panted

"Ruby…if there is any time to use your eyes it's now." He said

Ruby nodded

"I need a high vantage point. I want to get the widest range possible." Ruby said

"The tower…let's go." Guts said

Ruby nodded as the two ran off.

They took the elevator to the top of the tower. To Ozpin's office "shit I don't know if my eyes will work on the reflection." She said

Guts went ahead and punched out all the glass.

Ruby looked at him and Guts shrugged "it's good enough." He said

Ruby took a deep breath and activated her eyes "ARGHHHHH!" As the world came into a blinding light of silver.

In the city Qrow watched as Beacon flashed Silver and flooded the city "that's my girl." He said as the light flooded over him.

Glynda looked around and noticed the Grimm were not just turning to stone they were evaporating.

"Oh brothers!" Glynda gasped

At the tower Ruby shut her eyes as her knees gave out after a wobble As she landed in Guts arms.

"Did I…do good?" Ruby asked Guts weakly

"More than that. You saved everyone." Guts said

"Good." Ruby said as she let darkness take her.

Qrow flew by in bird form into the window and transformed

"Holy shit." He said looking around at the two.

Guts smiled

Qrow cradled her "It's alright. I got ya, kiddo. I got ya." He said as he lifted her.

"Where are you going?" Guts asked

"To take her home, Vale is secure for now but I'm not leaving for a few days to go back to patch but when I do you should come with me." Qrow said

"I will for now I'll be by Ruby's side." Guts said

Qrow nodded as they left Qrow carrying Ruby. To a safe zone shelter.

Guts looked over to the Far side of the City

And found a shape looking back at him

Zodd the immortal…but this time…he had no Grimm Sludge on him.

Ruby had cleansed Zodd.

Guts and Zodd turned away from each other at the same time they had their own matters to take care of first.
