Castle Grimore. At the main dining hall, Salem, Watt, Triyan, and Hazel were having dinner. Mashed potatoes littered with green pepper bits, peas, stuffing, and mutton all cooked to near perfection by Triyan.

"Ah yes, my most loyal Triyan. You have cooked another fine meal." Salem said between bites. "My, the meat is so savory."

"My lady, we should be receiving a report of what's been going on with Cinder. I had Marty the Beowolf tail her. He should be here shortly." Watts said.

"Cinder, my most successful minion, if not a bit brash. I only hope she has not let her ego control her." Salem said finishing her meal.

"I still think giving all that to Cinder and her secondhand cronies was a bad idea." Watts said annoyed.

"But you forget she managed to siphon a Maiden's power." Hazel countered.

"Half of it, which is still worthless to us." Watts remarked.

"Watts, Hazel has a point. I have a feeling that Cinder has ensured us success." Salem said as Marty had limped to give his report before limping right out of the room trailing blood. "The report? Let's see."

"Cinder, in Vale…has accidentally revealed my existence to the entire world via bragging about it to her enemies while a camera crew caught wind of it…and those enemies confirmed it. The four kingdoms are now united to combat us. Cinder was defeated…Maiden powers stripped. White Fang has destroyed with Adam's eye torn out and his head on a pike." Salem said blankly looking on the file.

The Grimm Queen's eye twitched erratically as she was deathly quiet as she stared at that folder.

"Cinder…curse that incompetent cur!" Salem screamed slamming the folder shut. "What a disaster. The White Fang, they were useful grunts and their gone. Torchwick, jumped ship. All because of that damn silver eyed spanner!"

Salem shot up with madness in her eyes as she ranted, "Well I'd like those pricks come and face me! I WILL PROMPTLY KICK THEIR ASS!", while waving her fist in the air.

She looked around at her motley faction and give the order for them to leave her alone. As they got up to leave, Salem turned to them.

"By the way, bring me Emerald." Salem requested.

"My queen, what you need of her?" Triyan asked.

"She was Cinder's adjutant, plus I want to kick her ass for this failure." Salem said with a glare.

"Ma'm, we might not be able to find her." Hazel said trying to calm her down.

"Then learn to find her instead of jerking your Ozpin hateboner, damn it!" Salem snapped before they left.

(A/N: The Downfall parodies are memetic gold, and Salem would make the perfect hit. This bit is based off the "Dinner Scene" in Downfall. I wanted to do the full "bunker scene", but I wanted to keep things short and brief. This short was supposed to completed last year, but the Christmas special came first shoving it in the back.)
