残り:四の影/ Remnant's Four Shadows
End of Remnant, Episode 9: A Time for Action
[Vale] |Day 4| [2 Hours Remains]
"So, this is who has volunteered to fight?" Ironwood said looking upon the motley group.
The force coming with Ironwood's forces looked smaller than it actually was. Teams RWBY, YUKI, JPNR, CASL, and STRQ stood alongside Peach, Glynda, Adam, Maria, Emerald, Mercury, Roman, Neo, Ilia, Niko, Vernal, Lazuli, the Maidens, and several of the Amazons were among the charge. Salem and Ozpin came out cracking their knuckles. They had all came prepped for war.
"Team CFVY has opted to stay to be the line of defense at Beacon along with Vale's Special Forces." Glynda remarked.
"Vale has Special Forces?" Ivory asked.
"Not very good ones. Considering all the shit I got away with it…they did cover up that their fancy tank from Atlas was stolen." Yuki snarked.
"Clearly a showing of incompetence." Camilla said arriving with Neon and Flynt.
Camilla had her Fable agents out to back them up, The Ace Ops were eager to show their mettle, and Winter wanted to ensure Weiss made it out.
"This is our last line of defense. Well, color me skeptical." Harriet said only for Toriel to arrive in full battle regalia.
"And your skepticism was shot." Yuki said eagerly. "Toriel, you're going to fight?"
"I can't stand aside and do nothing. I will do what I can to aid." Toriel said. "I need the exercise."
"And where the hell is Noire?" Cael asked.
"Right here."
Noire had shown up alone.
"Just four more hours. And I'll right on time to open the door for you, Yuki." Noire said as a darkened portal opened in front of Yuki. "Now is the time for you to go on the path to your ascension. I warn you that the road ahead of you is going to be immensely difficult. You can't tarry because we'll be fending off Griseo and his army while you're on your way."
"His army?" Ironwood asked.
"Yes, I suppose it's time I reveal a bit…"
"I knew it, you knew more than you were letting on!" Sulfur said interrupted.
"Yes and no." Noire said as his wife and Gen arrived. "My knowledge of what's to come isn't all perfect, but I am keeping what I do know close to the vest. A poker player doesn't show his hand."
"I'm surprised Alexandra isn't here." Lapis remarked.
"He…well she is tasked with another duty." Noire said off-handedly.
"One thing, why me? Why do you have so much faith on me?" Yuki asked. "I need answers. No half-truths, no cryptic bullshit…"
"I initially believed in your potential, but I discovered something about you. Something familiar, but the answers to it had not come until after returning your friends to you. It seems that Chronoa's actions inadvertently saved my clan's bloodline from extinction…allowing it to continue through your family bloodline." Noire said as jaws dropped all around.
"He and I are your far distant uncle and aunt." Sayah said boldly. "His brother…the progenitor of the Grimm Slayer is your great-great…far great grandfather."
Cael sputtered in shock. It explained so much, but this was not what he expected.
"Doesn't that imply that Yuki is royalty?" Ivory asked.
"Yes, Yuki is technically prince of the Voyden royal family." Gin remarked as Yuki was distraught.
Thoughts running his head, he needed time to process this new information. However, Noire punted him through the portal as it closed.
"What the hell?!" Ayla asked.
"He can get through that emotional mess on the way there. We need to hold the line and do what we need to fend off Griseo." Noire said revealing the 'relic' staff. "We need go to the nexus point which is where Summer Rose was once buried."
"Why there?" Summer asked.
"For it is where it all began from a simple soul." Noire said cryptically.
They all departed for war.
(A/N: The final battle begins, the cast is set, and we're finally going to get the wide reveal of Griseo's army. I did imply he was traverse across different worlds, and what better to end this with a big party with a massive guest list. I promised that everything changes. The hints in the musical choices after all.)
