It was all a trap and our heroes were stuck in for the fight of their times. Pyrrha? She went into "I don't give no fucks" mode. Roman and Neo were out dealing with Adam, and she was in the shadow watching this canon farce.
"This was all just a trap?" Weiss asked.
"It appears so..." Ren said.
Watching this play out was rather strange, but Hazel locking the door was her cue. She had several metal buzzsaw blades floating around her. Metal Man's Metal Blades, she called them. Manipulating the metal behind the light switches, she flipped off the lights.
"Who killed the lights?!" Mercury asked.
SLING! SLASH! The lights were turned on to show Leonardo had two metal blades in his body pinning him to the wall and aura was barely keeping him alive.
"What's going on? Who else is here? Show yourself!" Cinder demanded.
Pyrrha started laughing, a deep laugh considering that even being near Cinder, she could not take the Azula-rip off seriously. To the others, the laugh sounded synthetic and psychotic. They all saw a floating metal blade in the air before it came down on Leonardo's head shredding through his aura and his body.
Ruby, Weiss, Jaune, and Oscar all lost their lunches spilling puke on the ground.
"Oh, for fuck's sake, you're vomiting, and battle hasn't begun yet." Pyrrha said still hidden in her shadows. "Though you all are still children in a game of death."
She was using a new voice modulator and began chuckling and giggling like a schoolgirl.
"You think I'm scared of this!" Cinder touted. "Come out and face me."
"I'm sorry, but I can't take you seriously." Pyrrha said as Cinder's eye twitched.
"And why the hell not?" Cinder shouted.
"I see a little girl lusting for power because she never had it. You probably grew up in the gutter powerless. Tits probably came early, and you had probably men around you taking what they want from you. Probably daddy's little plaything too. It would explain the tacky fashion sense. All you had was your good locks, but now that's long gone for you. So, you continued lusted for your power after your repeated failures. Do you even think of what you are doing? That Salem is basically using you to wipe out all life. No, you want your precious power. What good is power on a throne of nothing?" Pyrrha said tauntingly. "I wonder Salem "uses" you like your daddy does. You do have that look of desperation willing to bend over to do anything for power."
Jaws were dropped and Cinder exploded in a rage. Basically, she threw a tantrum swearing up a storm and throwing fireballs around demanding that the mystery person come down.
"Aww, you mad, Cinder?" Pyrrha teased. "Be a good girl and get me a beer, bitch."
"I don't know who you are, but when I find you, I'm going to…" Cinder said before Pyrrha jumped down.
"Kill me? You already did that…I just wanted to come back and say…" Pyrrha said taking off the mask.
Putting on her best grin and cheeriness.
"Hello again!"
Oh, the looks on their faces was utterly priceless. Looks of horror, shock, fear, and all around confusion. Cinder stepped back sputtering before Emerald asked how she's even alive.
"I could tell you, but I rather just smear your blood on the wall and piss on your corpse." Pyrrha said darkly. "Because I'm so done. I was a pushover, I bent over backwards for everyone, and it got me killed because I trusted an incompetent dumbass and an old wizard who seriously shouldn't have stuck his dick in Salem!"
Within Oscar, Ozpin flinched. Jaune felt like he was punched in the gut and Pyrrha's grin took a more demented look.
"Hey Hazel. I know you mad at Ozpin, but I don't follow your logic by working for the reason Ozpin is training people to fight Grimm in the first place. Did losing your sister knock a few screws loose? But why waste on you…when I can do this!" Pyrrha said sensing the blood in Hazel's leg before causing to explode with her mind."
Blood splattered getting on several people, staining Weiss's blue dress crimson.
"Look at that, I broke his legs, Nora!" Pyrrha said like this was normal.
"Pyrrha, what the fuck?!" Nora said after hurling on the ground.
Hazel could not feel the pain, but he tried crawling to Oscar only for his arm to explode.
"Don't worry Hazel, you died as you lived." Pyrrha said before his head exploded. "Being Salem's bitch."
Pyrrha did not even waste time looking back at Hazel's body. Cinder looked at Pyrrha with both horror and a bit of fear. Pyrrha had changed…becoming a lot more contemptuous. A lot like herself…
"You know, there's so much metal in the room. The rails, the fixtures, the weapons, Mercury's legs, and your blood. So, who wants to fight me now?" Pyrrha said as metal blades floated around the room whirring like chainsaws. "WHO WANTS TO DIE?!"
Raven's first instinct was to make a portal, but one of the metal blades melted into around a band that got around Raven's neck squeezing it.
"You're not leaving, you cowardly bitch!" Pyrrha said using several metal blades to pin her to the wall. "I…I want you all to watch. I want to fight Cinder, just her. Now unless you want to get in our way, get to the sidelines. And Emerald, if I see a single illusion, one blade across your eyes. Got it?"
Mercury, Emerald, and Vernal scrambled for the side and so did the heroes.
"Do you really think you can beat me, Pyrrha? I've beaten you and I had only half of the maiden's powers. Now I have it all, I am invincible." Cinder said proudly going into a long speech.
Pyrrha was not bothering to listen, instead recalling the metal blades to ready her new weapons. She had taken to Mortal Kombat for inspiration and managed to build Kitana's war fans. With them in blade form, she raised it interrupting Cinder's speech.
"Cinder, you filthy Grimm-loving whore, raise your blade and duel me!" Pyrrha said as Cinder produced her sword of glass.
"You can control metal in our blood, that's cute, but you can't control this!" Cinder said using her Grimm arm to stretch and grab Pyrrha by her neck. "Got any jokes for me?"
"I'd say choke me harder, but I don't do used cocksleeves." Pyrrha snarked as Cinder squeezed tighter. "Hey Emerald, I bet you wish this was you."
Emerald could only sputter as Pyrrha using Lighting Last to coil around Cinder's arm electrocuting her, forcing her to let the redhead go. Pyrrha released her whip's hold before throwing a fire dust crystal at Cinder before whipping it for it explode in her face. Cinder throw a fireball only for Pyrrha to fly away on her Sundown Sacuer.
"Ok, Pyrrha might be crazy, but that is cool." Nora said as Pyrrha flew over Cinder. "She's surfing on the air."
"Hey, Cinder. You act so tough, but you're nothing without help or your maiden powers. That's why you demean Emerald, because you're afraid of her. You're afraid of her realizing that you're such a complete parasite." Pyrrha taunted dodging each attack of Cinder. "Mercury knows and he's not even following you because of your ugly mug. It's all Emerald. Jealous of her pretty looks? I could understand, she's a fine exotic cocktail while you're nothing but stale beer with too much shit added in. Am I wrong?"
"You are. Emerald is nothing compared to me. She's a means to an end alongside Mercury. I didn't pick up out of kindness, she has a use. And the moment I have my power, she'll be no longer around. I don't friendships or relationships, only power matters. If Emerald's pitiful puppy love or whatever keeps her in line, then so be it!" Cinder said seemingly hitting Pyrrha causing her to fall. "Got you now!"
Cinder sauntered up and put her heel on Pyrrha's chest with a savage sneer on her face.
"Any last words before I reintroduce you to death?" Cinder said with her power flaring.
"No, but I think Emerald and Mercury have some words for you." Pyrrha said as the two walked up.
Mercury had his arms crossed and Emerald had tears streaming down her face.
"You take the left, I take the right." Mercury said as both Emerald and he decked Cinder square in her jaw.
Pyrrha leapt back up.
"Thanks. I knew you two ain't all for being good guys, so I'll cut the shit. Help me kill this bitch, and I'll forgive your role in the Fall. Also, won't kill you either." Pyrrha said cracking her knuckles.
"And what makes you think you can beat me?" Cinder said producing a sword of blackened glass.
"Well, it's all of us against just you." Nora said coming up swinging her hammer around. "I don't see you have any backup dancers left."
It was then Cinder looked around with the realization she was all alone and surrounded. She looked over to see Raven was still trapped, and Vernal was only focused on protecting Raven.
"Not so tough are you, Cinder?" Jaune said smugly.
"Oh wow, that's so intimidating when it's everyone against Cinder." Pyrrha thought dryly.
The door was kicked open and in came Roman and Neo to which Ruby asked how they are even alive.
"Oh, thank Salem, she sent backup. Look, help me and I..." Cinder said as Roman unleashed a torrent of ice out of his body freezing Cinder's legs. "What are you doing?!"
"Sorry, I don't exactly got loyalty to a backstabber." Roman said as everyone converged.
Cinder found herself being pummeled, stomped on, clips emptied, and Nora took the final hit to break Cinder's aura by breaking her legs. Pyrrha stood over Cinder with a grin.
"Cinder, have any last words?" Pyrrha asked. "I got one for you. Die."
BLAM! Pyrrha shot her through the head before letting her get a word out without a hint of remorse. The blood splattered on her face did nothing to hide her wicked grin as the Maiden power coarsed through her veins. She'd figured that her isekaied state would have prevented her from getting Maiden powers, but if Penny can, who was she to question? Of course, Pyrrha celebrated this by taking Cinder's scroll and incinerating the body until it was a greasy smear.
"Good riddance, you loathesome bitch." Pyrrha said before turning to Raven and Vernal. "Now, to deal with you."
Pyrrha used her semblance to leave Vernal stuck to the roof hanging by her weapons.
"Now Raven, I do want to kill you to make my life easier, but I need you alive for the relic. So, will you cooperate, or do I need to tear your arms and legs off?" Pyrrha said recollecting her SS before having the metal goop on Raven come off of her throat.
Blake finally came in through the door asking if they needed back up.
"A bit too late, Blake." Roman remarked. "Cinder's already dead."
Raven promptly took her leave and left Vernal behind.
"Damn it! She's…" Qrow said as Pyrrha remarked, "Don't worry, we don't need the relic anyway. Besides, Raven did the smart thing by lying about who the real maiden was."
Pyrrha simply used the metal on Vernal in tandem with a fire dust crystal to blow her up.
"I still it's cowardly she used her as a meat shield." Pyrrha said as Vernal's head hit Weiss's chest before the ground. "But oh well…we won."
"Sorry to tell you, Pyr. Adam got away." Roman said as Pyrrha rolled her eye.
"Well he won't be far. That fucker's not going to stop stalking the cat wench. So, I'll just blow him the fuck up next time." Pyrrha remarked as the metal goop seeped into Pyrrha's skin.
She turned to Emerald and Mercury telling them that a deal was a deal only for Qrow to protest.
"I gave them my word, and I want my word to be worth something in this hellhole. Besides as far as the public will know, both of them are dead and Lionheart died fighting to protect the kingdom. That's what you and Oz were going to do. Lie to the people." Pyrrha said before taking a more serious tone. "So, shove it."
Emerald and Mercury promptly took their leave and Ruby wanted answers.
"It's a long story. To be simple, Roman and I got a second chance at life. A restart in a sense, we don't know how, but we figured we'd go for it." Pyrrha remarked. "Beind dead allow Roman and I see the flow. Past, present, and the future. And allow me to say with no hint of restraint…that you are all a bunch of colossal fuck ups. You fucked up so bad that Roman and I had to come back from the damn dead to tell you."
The ice in her voice did not help.
"Well at least we got JPNR back together." Jaune said weakly.
"If you think I'm going back to be to be your submissive back up singer, you can promptly piss right off, Jaune." Pyrrha said in a low tone glaring at the blonde. "I happen to be leading my own team. I just need a fourth member. So, take Oscar to be your new P."
Pyrrha turned and left the room with Roman and Neo in tow.
"What? When did we establish you as leader?" Roman remarked.
"Do you really want an answer?" Pyrrha asked.
"Nah." Roman said with a shrug. "But who's going to be our fourth?"
"I have a few ideas." Pyrrha said leaving our heroes behind.
"Is it a bad time to say I knew Pyrrha was alive…a bit earlier?" Yang said with Jaune, Nora, and Ren all glaring at her.
"To be fair, so did I." Blake said trying to take the tension off of Yang.
"Pyrrha's did a complete 180 on her personality. It's like the old her is completely gone." Ren said putting a hand on Jaune's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Jaune."
With the Battle of Haven over, it was certainly a victory but not one the heroes felt like they won. Pyrrha had basically slaughtered most of them, the Maiden got away, and the relic was still in the vault. On the bright side, Salem lost several of her lieutenants and it would be a while before she realized so. With Cinder's scroll, Pyrrha put on her best Cinder impression before telling Watts that she was done working for Salem and was taking the relic to Vale before promptly smashing it. As everyone was recovering, the White Fang had finally fallen apart. The Mistralian police had arrested those Adam led. Unbeknowest to Qrow and Ozpin, Pyrrha did taken the liberty of ensuring the council would find out about Lionheart's betrayal. If anything, it wasn't for doing the right thing. No, it was more out of payback for the old Pyrrha. Of course, this was still the matter of the future volumes and finding a fourth. To Pyrrha and Roman, those were matters they'd handle in due time.
(A/N: Long and cold. This is where I'll end "Red Dead Revolution" for now, as I don't need it staying too long around. I will return to this series soon enough. For now, I'll be moving back to my schedule. Although, I don't think I'll do Application of Logic much further given that RWBY's got plenty of holes in it. At this point, I may as well write a fix-it fic.)
