Planning Big with the Princesses of Power
The scene shows of a large and dark wasteland where Grimms of all kinds that is known throughout all of Remnant are, growling and roaring as if they are waiting for something to hunt or for someone to give them the command to attack.
Within that grimy wasteland is a big black castle where a master lives inside and this one is very dark in body and soul.
"I can't wait to see the look on Ozpin's face when he sees the precious Huntsmen school down." The dark woman chuckled.
This woman has white hair that is in a large bun with six offshoots wrapped together that also suspends several obsidian-colored ornaments and literally white skin with dark purple veins that line her face and arms, and a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead. Her eyes are jet black sclerae in her eyes and glowing crimson irises that shine brighter when she is agitated. She wears a very long, short-sleeved black robe that obscures her feet and partially drags across the ground, with its distinctive feature being a curved high collar with dark red trim bordering the outer edge of a narrow window exposing her bust in a vertical ellipsis resembling an eye and completed with a long shawl emblazoned with three interconnected, maroon-colored vertical elliptic sigils resembling a trio of overseeing eyes above a series of maroon-colored diamond emblems. She also wears a ring resembling a Beetle on her right hand, which now have longer fingernails with jet-black nail polish. Breasts size: Q-cup.
This woman is Salem, the dangerous Black Witch that the entire world doesn't know she exist though she is planning on letting the world know through the destruction she is bringing.
"It should still take a while for Ozpin to be reincarnated into this world again, I wonder what he'll be in this next life, and the poor fool who would have to suffer with him." Salem grinned.
While she was thinking of ways to make the soul man she knows suffer for revenge and the big plan she has for the world, something started to feel strange in her mind.
"What was…?" Salem confused of this sudden feeling until grew strange causing her to scream and clutching onto her head.
"This feeling… What is this?" Salem tried to figure out why she is feeling this way, and then it starts to feel familiar somehow.
"Wait, I know this. I felt it before, from many years ago… A thousand years." Salem realized as her eyes widen of shock.
"No, it can't be! The Princesses of Etheria, back on Remnant after all this time yet it doesn't feel like the ones I knew." Salem concentrated a little more sensing the difference.
"But even so, if these presences I'm feeling are from that other girl than no doubt they have come to stop me which means I'll need to big my game." Salem said with a glare.
And with a fit of rage, Salem threw her right fist in the air and slams it on the table so hard she shatters the entire table into tiny pebbles.
"I'll need to inform my dark warriors immediately." Salem said.
"My Lady, are you okay?" A young woman asked running into the big room.
"Cinder Fall, I was just thinking of calling you here." Salem calmed herself down and look to her prodigy.
"I heard you screaming in rage, which is a rare thing for you to do, meaning something must have just happened." Cinder explained and took some deep breathing as her throat still hurts a little.
Cinder is a fair-skinned woman with short ashen-black hair that covers her left eye, amber eye, and wears a mask that appears to be made of black glass over her missing left eye and the scarring extend into a slight x-shape over the bridge of her nose, as well as having deformed and degraded the tissue of her left ear. She wears a long, dark red dress with one long, wide sleeve hiding her left arm. The edges of the collar and the opening for the right arm are gold-colored, and the upper chest and left sleeve are decorated with golden designs. The right side of her dress is open from the hip down with two gold-colored straps made of interwoven ropes connecting the front half to the back half of her thigh. Under the dress, she appears to wear black pantyhose. On the right hip, the dress has a black rhombus-shaped gem set in a gold-colored metal of the same shape, with feathers of varying shades of blue extending from the bottom of it. On her right arm she wears a long, gray glove, the top of which has a gold-colored metal ring with curvy branching extensions going up to her arm. Her right ear has a new ring-shaped earring higher up than the dangling black gem earring. Breasts size: H-cup.
"It would seem the dark plans have become even more complicated." Salem said with a slight glare at the window.
"How so?" Cinder confused.
"Even with the success of the Fall of Beacon, the table may turn with the return of some enemies from the past has come back to stop me again." Salem mentioned.
"Enemies from… the past? Other than… Ozpin!" Cinder shocked.
Then they saw the Seer Grimm floating towards her for she is about to get a call from one of her followers.
"Your Grace, are... you there?" A man's voice asked.
"Aw, it looks like Leonardo and Watts are calling us now." Salem grinned as she sat back down on her chair and the Seer Grimm shows two men calling from the other Seer.
"Hello, Leonardo. Do you have something to report?" Salem asked.
Leonardo is a middle-aged man with a mane of tan/gray hair and a beard. He has a tanned complexion with brown eyebrows and dark brown eyes. He wears a brown greatcoat with a matching mantle, which had cross emblems on each side. He also wears a white dress shirt under his coat, a western necktie and carries a pocket watch with a lion head on it as an emblem. Lionheart also wears dark brown slacks and dress shoes.
"Of course, ma'am. I would not waste your time, if not." Leonardo nodded in fear.
"I'm still just so fascinated by this creature. Cinder dear, are we coming through? Can you see us clearly? Well, as clearly as you can." The other man mocked.
"Shut… Up." Cinder glared at the man in the Seer Grimm.
"Now, Arthur Watts, what have I told you about mocking my little flaming princess." Salem said in a firm tone.
"Yes, my lady, my apologies." Watts apologized.
Watts is a tall middle-aged man with a slim build and slightly tanned skin. He has short black and gray hair as well as a thick mustache and eyebrows, and green eyes. He wears a grey overcoat with yellow linings, a yellow dress shirt, and a black necktie. His pants are the same color as his overcoat. His yellow-buttoned undercoat and fingerless gloves matches his cordovan shoes, under which he wore yellow socks.
"Now, what about your report?" Salem asked.
"I've... I've found the Spring Maiden." Leonardo informed.
"Is that so? Well done. Arthur, had I known how useful you'd be in expediting this process, I would've sent you long, long ago." Salem smiled a little evilly.
"As much as I'd love to take credit, ma'am, I can't say that either of us are to thank for this development. I guess you could say, a little birdie told us." Watts smirked with his big bushy mustache.
"Explain." Salem ordered, tapping her fingers together.
"You see, ma'am, Qrow Branwen arrived at Haven Academy earlier today. He believes Spring has taken residence with his sister's tribe." Leonardo explained of what happened earlier.
"Is... the girl... with him?" Cinder asked.
"Yes, Miss Rose was in attendance." Watts answered.
"And you know of the tribe's location?" Salem asked.
"Yes ma'am! But you have to hurry! Qrow is already at odds with my—" Leonardo's sentence was cut off when the Seer at Mistral strangle his neck with its tentacles on Salem's mental command.
"Leonardo, do you remember the first time we met? I remember. I remember your fear. But, since that day, you've been extraordinarily brave. I won't forget all that you've done for me. Do not forget everything that I can do to you." Salem reminded the old fool.
Leonardo nods and the Seer Grimm at Mistral slowly loosen its tentacles letting him go as he breath heavily gasping for air.
"Cinder, you and your team will meet with Doctor Watts, and together, convince Raven Branwen that the survival of her people depends on her cooperation. Once you have Spring under control, escort her to the Relic and contact Hazel. The White Fang was promised the destruction of Haven, and they'll have it once we have what we need." Salem ordered.
"Understood." Watts nodded.
"Not you, Arthur. Tyrian's in need of a new tail." Salem mentioned.
"What happened to his old one?" Watts asked.
"Guess." Cinder said in a firm tone.
"The silver-eyed girl?" Watts surprised as Cinder grunt with a nod.
"It will be done." Watts said.
"Good, and there is one more thing I must tell you all before ending the call and best you tell this to the others too… Etheria has return to Remnant." Salem mentioned.
This causes all three of her followers to gasp in shock of the dark mistress mentioning that word out of the blue like that, and with a serious face too.
"Etheria? As in the Etheria Princesses have returned?!" Watts asked.
"Yes, the very enemies I fought a thousand years ago and almost had me if it wasn't for my immortally though it took me over seventy years to recover because their magic." Salem answered clutching her fist.
"But how are they back there? I thought they went back to their world after the battle that was mentioned in legend." Leonardo asked.
"They did, but it looks like some new princesses have come here to finish what was started." Salem said.
"All of you, be very cautious and on the lookout for these Etheria princesses for they could be anywhere in Remnant. We must take them out before they ruin everything I have worked hard for." Salem ordered with anger in her eyes and the call through the Seers ended.
"Princesses of Etheria… with magic like… Maidens." Cinder said.
"Yes, you could say their magic is more powerful than that of the four maidens though each with one elemental power and we need to be on prepare for one princess especially." Salem stands up and walk to a window.
"You mean…" Cinder paused for a moment.
"Yes, Cinder, if the Etheria princesses are here then there's no doubt "She-Ra" is with them as well." Salem glared at the window.
(With Adora and Others)
"That is so awesome!" Ruby and Nora screamed of excited.
"Look at you! You were shorter with a red jacket and now you're huge with the muscles and your boobs gotten bigger too!" Nora looked around Adora in her She-Ra.
"And your sword is so cool! You just made it appear out of fin air like magic!" Ruby squealed at the sword.
"Wow, you're taking this in a lot more than I thought." Adora chuckled.
"When Adora first use it, she freaked out so much that she thought princesses were diseases." Glimmer laughed from the memory.
"Oh, so wish I was there." Catra laughed making Adora blush.
"Now before get onto the planning, I believe our new guests should hear about the legend of the Etheria Princesses." Ozpin suggested.
"(I think I remember being told about that as a kid.)" Oscar said.
"Yeah, how exactly does Remnant see the Etheria Princess as?" Swift Wind asked.
"Duh, as awesome heroes! And Ren can tell you all about it!" Nora pointed at Ren who roll his eyes and clear his throat.
"The legend started a thousand years ago when Remnant was at its darkest hour, almost being ruled by an evil black witch with her armies of Grimm that she commands. All hope was almost lost until several female warriors held from another land." Ren started the story.
"Or world in our case." Netossa said.
"They were known as the Princesses of Etheria with powers unlike Remnant has ever seen, with their combined might, they were able to fend off the Grimm and vanquish them along with the black witch. But even with the one controlling the Grimm gone, the Grimms themselves still roam the world seeking to destroy everything in their path." Ren mentioned.
"Did the name "She-Ra" happened to be in that legend?" Adora asked.
"Yes, the legends say that She-Ra was among the most powerful princess and the one who defeated the black witch and her powerful dark magic. Forever riding her from Remnant." Ren answered.
"Except the black witch known as Salem is still alive, still trying to bring darkness to Remnant." Ozpin stated.
"After all, I was there at the time and fought alongside them too. It would be my honor to do that again." Ozpin smiled.
"Then that's what we're going to do, defeat Salem and fully free this world from her evil!" Adora declared with raising her sword in the air.
"Except we have no idea where she is." Entrapa pointed out making Adora realize that.
"Oh, do you know where she is?" Adora asked Ozpin.
"Unfortunately, Salem has been keeping her presence very well hidden to prevent even me to find her." Ozpin sighed.
"Oh well, for now we can just focus on what her forces are doing and stop them." Adora said before changing back to her normal form.
"Indeed, starting with ensuring the safety of the Relic of Knowledge." Ozpin suggested.
"Relic of Knowledge, what's that?" Bow asked.
"Long story short, the God Brothers made four special items with different powers of their own and hidden deep in each of the four Hunters' academies like one here in Haven." Jaune explained.
"This is perfect! We were stuck at a dead end, but now, we can just take little cute boy Ozpin to Lionheart and have him set things straight!" Nora stated pointing at Oscar who is Ozpin right now.
"Please don't call me that." Ozpin deadpanned.
"We're not sure that's the best idea." Qrow said making Nora pout.
"Why? Isn't this Lionheart an alley?" Spinnerella asked.
"And aren't the headmasters all took their orders from you?" Ren asked too.
"That was the intention. Four lieutenants I can trust, especially during times of reincarnation. But Qrow told me about your meeting with Leonardo." Ozpin said getting up and walking towards a painting.
"He isn't just behaving irrationally; he's disobeying specific instructions I had left him. Something's wrong. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't want to rule out any possibilities, either. No one outside of this room knows that I've paired with Oscar, and I think it may be best to keep it that way." Ozpin said.
"Play things close to the chest until we get a better hand." Qrow added.
"Take from a former evil soldier, if this Lionheart guy turned traitor on you then you'll have be prepare for a fight with him." Catra advised.
"Yes, that would be wise." Ozpin nodded before turning around.
"I was going to suggest enlist the aid of more Huntsmen, but with the Etheria princesses by our side, we may pull through." Ozpin said.
"I don't know, maybe you can still ask a few just to make sure." Bow said.
"But the Mistral council"
"Doesn't own every Huntsman in the Kingdom, and I've been here enough times to know where we can find some more." Qrow explained.
"So long as they're trustworthy." Ozpin hoped.
"You can trust them to put up a good fight. I'll throw together a list tonight." Qrow grinned, and accidentally broke one of the table legs dropping the cup of coffee.
"Good luck with that." Nora chuckled.
"After that, we can move on to step two." Ozpin said.
"What's step two?" Glimmer asked.
"Getting these four in fighting shape." Ozpin answered as he gestures to team RNJR.
Team RNJR look at each other confuse of what their former headmaster just said for a moment.
"But, uh, we already know how to fight." Ruby said.
"You can only fight so long as you have Crescent Rose, but you're still lacking in hand-to-hand combat." Ozpin stated as Ruby chuckles as she admits to that.
"Mr. Arc, I'm glad to hear you've improved, but sorry to say, you've yet to unlock your Semblance." Ozpin said making Jaune look sad.
"All of you still have a-ways to go before you're ready to pose any real threat against Salem and her forces. And though Oscar can give me temporary control, he'll need to strengthen his body and his Aura." Ozpin mentioned.
"(Wait, what?)" Oscar asked.
"He'll inherit my muscle memory in time, but practice will expedite the process." Ozpin said.
"And you want us to train into full combat form, right?" Netossa asked.
"Indeed, no doubt you all have your fair shares of combat in your world. That would be a big help against Salem." Ozpin smiled.
"I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy whipping you guys to extreme exhaustion." Catra smirked as Melong meow.
"I have a feeling this training is going to hurt." Jaune gulped.
"We got a lot of work to do, so let's get to it!" Adora said with a determine face.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
It looks like Salem sensed the presence of the Etheria Princesses appeared in Remnant meaning she'll have to be extra careful about her destructive plans, Ruby and the others are about to get some training from those princesses to be ready for an upcoming battle.
