"I am Sarge, your new physical education teacher! From now on, you will speak only when spoken to and the first and last words out of your sorry mouths will be "sir". Do you maggots understand that?"
The students looked at each other weirdly but decided to play along. "Sir yes sir."
"Bullshit, I can't hear you! Sound off like you got a pair!"
"...Sir yes sir?"
"I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Sarge pumped his shotgun threateningly, causing everyone to stiffen up and paled.
"SIR YES SIR!"
"That's more like it!" Sarge put his shotgun away. "If you ladies finish this class, and graduate from Beacon, you will be a weapon! You will be a minister of death praying for the time where you'll kick Salem's sorry keister to the curb! But until that day, you are pukes! You are the lowest forms in Remnant! You are not even human beings or Faunus! You are nothing but unorganized Grimm-tastic pieces of Amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me! But the more you hate me, the more you will learn! I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on Faunus, Koopas, Inklings, Goombas or even whatever the hell they got going on in Shulk's world! Here you are all equally worthle-"
"WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!"

In the present, Summer rubbed her temples. "So… you actually said all of this to those students…"
"Damn right I did! It's to motivate them to get Salem's sorry behind out of this world!" Sarge said proudly.
"Okay, there's a major difference between motivation and whatever you got going there!" Summer pointed out.
"Aren't you and the rest of your team training the next generation to kick Salem's keister?"
"Well, yes, but we're not complete drill instructors!"
"...I am so glad I'm not athletic, I think I'd die under Sarge's teachings." Chiaki grimaced with Ibuki nodding in agreement.
At times like these, I'm glad Lord Bowser's not like that. Marnie thought.
"Yeesh, I know I can be a drill instructor myself but I'm not that horrid." General Guy said.
"You can see why we talked him into doing something else." Nyx said.
"Thank goodness for that!" Summer shook her head.
"Of all the horror stories I've heard, I'm glad I avoided that at all costs." Blake said with Weiss, Yang, JINXY and JNPR nodding.
"What were you trying to do, kill them?" Laxus asked.
"Motivating!" Sarge said.
"This is the same shit he did with us!" Grif said. "Ugh… I would not wish that on my worst enemy. Except for Simmons because he's a fuckin' nerd."
"HEY!"
Glad I'm able to instinctively cover his ears when Grif speaks. Summer thought, pulling her hands away from Oran's ears.
"Hmph. If anything, I think you needed to motivate them more." Kazuya spoke up. "You had a strong start and you have a strong spirit. Perhaps you could use that to give everyone a stronger spirit to destroy Salem when that time comes."
"See? He gets it!" Sarge said.
"I wouldn't take advice from him." Byleth mumbled.
"Yeeeeah, that's… sketchy as hell." Daisy said, noticing a few snowflakes falling. "Hmm?"

"And to add on top of that-... wait, did it get colder all of a sudden?" Luigi wondered.
World Grimm 2-4: Shivering Mountains
BGM: Cold Reception in Shiver City (Paper Mario)
"It did, I think we're in a snowy village." Nyx said as they spotted a sign that Umber walked up to.
"Welcome to Shiver City?" Umber wondered.
"Thought this village looked familiar…" Chiaki said.
"Saaaaay, you don't think Grimm are into murder mysteries, right?" Ibuki wondered.
"That'd be a messed up murder mystery…" Chiaki grimaced, imagining the horror stories she'd find if a Grimm actually wrote one.
"Well, it definitely got the "shiver" part right…" Yang shivered.
"Interesting… it's a Grimm world yet I'm not bothered by this…" Weiss said.
"Gee, I wonder why that is!" Yang snarked while Gloria went into her Galarian Darmanitan form while Chiaki put her hoodie on over her head.
"I wonder if they have any good murder mysteries in town…" Rosalina wondered.
"Well, in the paperverse, Mario-chan and the others walked into the mayor's home because they needed permission to go to Shiver Mountain from the mayor, but when they go in, apparently he was "murdered" and his wife thought they all did it. Seriously, Robin-chan looked like he was about to kill someone because he thought everyone was stupid."
"Oooh, that kind of plot!" Rosalina looked intrigued. "They walk into the scene of the crime, and they get accused when they didn't even touch them. Sure, it's one of the dumber plots, but… i'm always a sucker for murder mysteries, no matter how bad they might be!"
"...Your standards for literature amazes me." Grif said.
"So, how did this murder mystery end?" Rosalina asked.
"Turns out the Bumpty bumped his head when he was retrieving something from his shelf and knocked him out."
"...Huh?" Rosalina blinked. "What kind of an ending is that?"
"Even when I was a little girl, I was annoyed by everyone accusing Mario over nothing." Chiaki mumbled. "Everyone was so dumb…"
"Mama mia, that sounds aggravating." Mario said.
"Sounds like an extremely bored town." Luigi mumbled.
"If that happened to me, I'd be pissed." Yang mumbled.
"This murder mystery needs more interesting plot points." Epsilon said.
"Yes, like everyone is suddenly a bunny rabbit. Plot twist~!" Caboose said.
"...I wouldn't call that a plot twist." Cloud said.
"If you want a good twist, you need to have proper pacing and build up for the main event, otherwise you'll lose your audience if it comes out of nowhere." Rosalina said. "Something tells me the city in the other universe hasn't read a good murder mystery novel…"
"They probably did, but decided to rush the ending." Lea said.
"Wouldn't surprise me…" Rosalina shook her head as they would see a lake covered in ice where Grimm Bumpties and Grimm Cooligans slid on their bellies to their heart's content.
"Never thought I'd see Grimm having fun." Ren said.
"If we ignore 'em, they can continue having fun." Nora said, but one Cooligan happened to spot them and got the other Grimm's attention. "...Or not!" She exclaimed as the Grimm Bumpties and Cooligans slid toward them, only to get melted by Dorothea and Lea.
"Spoke too soon." Lea said as they walked further along, as they would see one Grimm Bumpty guarding a gate. It spotted the group and spread its flippers out to prevent them from leaving the city, only Akuma simply punted it into the gate, destroying not only the Grimm but the gate itself.
"That was the guardian of the gate? Laughable." Akuma said as they walked through.
BGM: Over Shiver Mountain (Paper Mario)
As they walked out of the village, a blizzard started to pick up. "Ooooh, of course there's a blizzard!" Jaune groaned.
"We just have to work our way through this!" Yang said as Maia had the idea to push the blizzard away from them, which resulted in a clash against the winds and it ended up creating a small snow tornado.
"My bad!" Maia grimaced as the Knights and the Reds and Blues were caught up in it.
"Yay, i'm a snowman!" Caboose said as they broke free and kept going, then the blizzard stopped to reveal they were in a snowy clearing.
"It stopped… I don't like this." Kamek said.
"Agreed." Marnie nodded as they kept walking.
"Hey you!" A voice said as they turned to see some snowy bushes rustling until a small Grimm Koopa burst out of the bushes… said Koopa being in a black egg.

"You have some nerve trespassing here! You think you can waltz in and expect to go around and own the place? Well, you got another thing com-"
"Excuse me, what's with this sassy lost child?" Cinder asked.
"SASSY LOST- What?!"
"I was thinking the same thing." Roman let out a few chuckles while Neo let out a few giggles.
"How DARE you! You dare make a mockery of Jr. Troopa?! Well, I've got some news for you… you're about to witness sheer awesome from yours truly! En garde!"
Sassy Lost Child - Grimm Jr. Troopa
"Oh for pete's sake, that's my boss title? Ugh, whatever! HERE IT COM-" Kazuya grabbed him by the throat. "Hnnngh!"
"You are wasting our time. You are not threatening."
"Rrrgh, oh yeah?!" The Grimm pulled out a magic wand and fired magic at him point blank. "Ha!"
Kazuya looked at his chest, some smoke sizzling off of it as he looked back up at the Grimm. "That it?"
"Uh…" Grimm Jr. Troopa sweatdropped.
"Your magic is weak." Kazuya dropped him, only to kick him like a football into the cliffside, then he fired his Devil Blaster into the mountain to create a small avalanche as the snow buried him as a giant boulder landed on top of the burial.

"Ooof… I almost feel bad for him." Chiaki said.
"That's one way to speed run a fight." Ibuki snickered.
"Hahahaha! The only superior "Junior" around here is me!" Junior said proudly as Bowser couldn't help but smile at this, patting him on the head as they walked away, and then the blizzard picked up again.
"Oh come on, another one?" Yang groaned. "I feel like this one is worse than the last one!"
"We just have to pull through." Blake said.
"Brrr!" Weiss suddenly shivered. "Wh-why… why am I so cold?!"
"Oh hey, you finally have a limit. Welcome to the rest of the world, Atlas girl." Yang teased.
"Sh-shut it! A-Achoo!"
"Mmph… normally I do not get cold and yet… it feels like it's piercing through my bones…" Rosalina spoke up.
"You're getting cold?" Qrow asked before chuckling. "Seems like someone finally got used to our climate."
"...Honey…" Rei spoke up.
"Yes?"
"...You know how I'm immune to the elements?"
"Yeah…?" Bowsette started to get wary.
"The cold air is… hurting my face for some reason!"
"You too? I'm freezing over here!" Captain Boo said.
"Oh, you're cold?" Captain Goomba rolled his eyes.
"A-At least I'm still… wa-warm…" Summer said, her teeth chattering.
"Sums, your teeth are chattering!" Tai said.
"O-Of cuh-course they ar-are! I… I… I'm normally like this wuh-when I'm huh-happy! ACHOO!"
"...Okay, now what is in this blizzard if Summer and the other ghosts are cold?" Blake asked.
"Someone form around Mario and Puh-Pyrrha! They're heaters with their Fire Brands!" Nora said. "They don't get cold at all!"
"E-Easy fu-fu-for you to s-s-s-s-suh-say!" Pyrrha shivered.
"Mama mia…" Mario hugged himself.
"Well, shit! This is freezing all of us!" Daisy said. "At least Gloria's got it covered!"
"Mmph! Abou-about that… lass!" Gloria shivered nonstop while BB-8 himself shuddered but picked up on something nearby. He let out a few chirps right after.
"Shelter nearby? We-We'll take it!" Chiaki said as they pushed through as they came across a building and they quickly went inside, shutting the doors behind them.

World Grimm 2-5: Source of the Blizzard
BGM: Crystal Palace Crawl (Paper Mario)
Cinder swiftly activated her Maiden powers and together with Carmen, Bowsette and Bowser, they created a bonfire for everyone to warm up and huddle together.
"Phew…" Weiss sighed. "Normally, I don't get cold so whatever happened there, it affected me and the others."
"Yeah, like me! I'm an AI for fuck's sake and I was shivering like crazy!" Epsilon said.
Summer sat down next to the fire, wrapping her arms around Oran who nuzzled against her. Kala sat down near her. ["You normally don't get cold?"]
"I'm a ghost, I should be immune to the elements." Summer said. "This Grimm World is something else…"
Chiaki looked around. "Wait a second…" She noticed the architecture looking very familiar to her. "We're in the Crystal Palace…"
"Sure looks that way." Ibuki nodded.
Chiaki turned to her. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Do a little digging and kill the son of a bitch that's freezing us to death?"
"Yeah." Chiaki nodded. "We'll be right back."
The two of them walked away, where a few heroes watched them take off while the rest were wanting to warm up against the fire.
"Let's just hope it's not too confusing to get through." Ibuki said.
"It wasn't that bad… I mean, it could be worse. We could be going through the Water Temple."
Ibuki snickered. "True enough!"
"Which, to be honest, it's not terribly bad, just tedious."
The two of them walked into a room where they would find Grimm Clubbas and Spikes spotting the duo, where the Clubbas charged and the Spikes threw spike balls at them, forcing them to dodge as Chiaki summoned Reaper's revolvers and shot them all up while Ibuki strummed her guitar and lightning bolts struck the remaining Grimm.
"Hmm, never realized these had a lot of recoil to them." Chiaki said with a chuckle, then they continued on through the bridge, opening up a door and walking in, and then found a few Grimm Swoops that dive bombed them, but they stepped out of the way and then retaliated, destroying them before they even had a chance to latch onto the ceiling.
They walked into another door and would find a large staircase where they climbed up, where a Grimm Dino Rhino spotted them from above and charged at them, but as they got close, they both side stepped out of the way as the Dino Rhino slammed into a wall and knocked itself out. The two of them went back up, ignoring the Grimm as they walked through the door, finding them outside where they saw the one responsible for the blizzard.
"Hey! Blizzard guy!" Ibuki called out to him.
End BGM
"Hmm?" The Grimm turned toward them. The Grimm had a crystalized black crown with horns poking out, it also had a red robe with black markings all around. It had a phantom-like appearance. "It appears that I have not frozen you solid. You would have made fine trophies for the Queen."
"Yeah, we're a lot more stubborn than we look." Chiaki said.
"Never mind that, I will turn you into trophies here!"
"Yeah, good luck with that after we melt ya!" Ibuki smirked.
"Oh? You think you can melt the Crystal King? How utterly naive of you." He let out a chuckle. "This place will be your tomb!" He unleashed a powerful ice beam at them, but before they could get out of the way, Cloud jumped in and blocked the attack with his sword.
BGM: Freeze! (Paper Mario)
"Cloud?!" Chiaki said in surprise.
"Thought you could use some back up." Cloud said as the girls turned to see Bowsette running in with the Bros, Kamek, Cinder, Barret, Red and Ven behind him.
"So this is the asshole who tried to freeze us? I'm sure we can make quick work on this guy." Barret smirked, cocking his arm gun while Chiaki looked through her screens.
Haven't done any Kirby power ups in a while. She thought, selecting Fire mode as her hair caught ablaze and her skin turned orange.
"Hahahaha, you think it'll be easy? We shall see about that." The Grimm Crystal King chuckled.
Crystalized Grimm - Grimm Crystal King
The Crystal King proceeded to freeze the air around them and shot crystals out at them, but they dodged as Ven jumped in and used Fission Firaga, but the Crystal King used an ice shield to protect himself, as Ibuki and Chiaki flanked him on both sides as Ibuki strummed her guitar and electricity shot out while Chiaki shot a stream of fire at him.
"Ha!" The Crystal King split his shield in two and blocked both attacks, but left him vulnerable up front where Bowsette ran up and kicked him in the gut and then Mario hammered him on the head. "Mmph!" He grunted as he cloned himself and surrounded the group.
Cinder narrowed her eyes as she conjured up her bow and fired an arrow into the air, where it caught ablaze and split itself up, hitting the clones as they went through them, but one struck the real one near Luigi. "Found you." Cinder smirked as Luigi hammered him away and Cloud jumped in to slash him, but the Crystal King formed ice to use as swords and countered Cloud.
"Heads up." Red said, unleashing Thundaga on the Crystal King to stun him as Chiaki came up from behind and unleashed a fiery shoryuken to knock him into the air as Barret proceeded to mow him down and then Cloud jumped up and slashed him down.
"Is that all you can do?" Crystal King mocked as he breathed out an icy wind to blind them, then the Crystal King charged directly at Ibuki from behind. However her ears twitched and turned around, blocking the attack with her guitar. "Impressive, you were able to hear me from within!"
"She's got good hearing!" Ibuki said, parrying him and whacking him away with the guitar as Kamek threw magic in the air to dispel the icy wind.
"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bowsette asked.
"Unfortunately, my wand was iced over and I couldn't do a thing about it." Kamek explained, throwing magic into the Crystal King, where said magic exploded. Crystal King let out a snarl and punched the ground as black ice shot up into the air and shot out ice javelins at them while Ven used Wind Raid on him while Bowsette flanked him and breathed fire, striking him on the side.
Crystal King floated up into the air. "You shall know the meaning of frostbite!" He said, snapping his fingers as the ice around them turned a colder blue.
"Mmmph! Getting cold again…" Mario said.
"I see what he's doing, he's trying to freeze us out!" Chiaki said as she would see a healing aura surround him. Her eyes widened. "He's gonna heal himself!"
"Not if I can help it!" Ven said, using Time Splicer to stop him and then slashed him all over before unleashing Sonic Blade on him, slashing him down to the ground.
"Rrrgh!" Crystal King grunted, his healing aura disappearing as he split himself up again, this time they all fired ice bolts at them, only for Kamek to put up reflective magic as the ice bolts bounced back as it struck the real one. "Mmph!" He grunted as Cloud jumped in and cross slashed him before striking him with a point blank Firaga attack, and Red threw down a meteor at him.
We gotta end this fast, I can feel my toes getting frozen… Chiaki thought, watching Ibuki having difficulty strumming her guitar as Crystal King let out a few laughs.
"What's wrong? Having difficulty staying warm?" He asked as Chiaki jumped in and fire punched him, but he teleported out of the way and shot an ice beam directly into her.
"Gah!" She yelped where Mario jumped in and hammered the Crystal King away while Cinder flew in, conjuring up fire blades and slashed him but he blocked with his own blades as Kamek teleported to Chiaki and healed her up, then Ven went in and used Tornado to suck the Grimm up, but the Crystal King recovered and threw down an icy mist into the ground to cover everyone.
Crystal King then flew down and laughed, heading straight for Mario, but Luigi jumped in and hammered him directly in the face as Cloud jumped up to slash him down, then Cloud put his sword up to his face. "It's over." He said, lunging in and slashing Crystal King, proceeding to slash him all over the place with Omnislash before jumping up and slashing him down.
"GRAAAAAAAGH!" Crystal King yelled as he fell on his back where Cinder, Chiaki and Bowsette fried him up to finish him off. "You… you cannot win… against the COLD!" He yelled before fading away.

"Oh, chill out." Cinder said as they felt the area around them warming back up.
"Haaaah, I can feel it warming up." Chiaki smiled as a Warp Box appeared near them as they walked in and met up with everyone outside where they saw the Crystal Palace falling apart and melting.
"Phew, I can feel myself warming up!" Tucker said.
"All of us can." Summer smiled as they headed off before finding another Warp Box and warped them away.
World Grimm 2-6: An Unexpected Encounter
The group found themselves in a canyon, all of them looking around with their weapons and powers drawn.
They would soon come across a large Grimm pool in the middle of the canyon, they readied themselves for whatever would come out from within.
Unbeknownst to them all, they were being watched from on top of the canyon wall. The being backed up before taking a running start and leaping off the canyon.
Blake's ears twitched as she looked up. "Above us!" She alerted them as they looked up as the being landed in front of them.
"Hey. Remember me?"
Yang's eyes widened. "You!"
BGM: Tension (Super Mario Galaxy)
The being before them has long green hair, the eyes a sickly green while the outfit was strikingly similar to Luigi's as her gauntlets were also green. However, her skin was Grimmly pale.
"Wait, Dark Yang?!" Pit said in surprise.
"No, it's just a Grimm copy of her." Blake said.
Grimm Yang let out a chuckle. "Oh, how I've waited for this moment." She squared up as Yang instinctively did the same.
"What exactly do you mean?" Yang asked.
"Oh, you know exactly what I mean." She spat. "You dunked me into the Rewind Spring, remember?"
"You're supposed to be erased by time!"
"Yeah, and Rubes recreated me from her memories." Grimm Yang chuckled. "You tore me away from her... so I think I should do the same to you by dunking you into this pool. Turn you into Grimm, bring you over to your Ruby and execute you in front of her eyes. I can only imagine the despair once you fade away from existence!"
A deep growl escaped from Byleth's lips. Something inside of her screamed that she ought to protect her other sister. It was enough to make her blood boil.
"You talk a lot of talk... but can you go through with it?" Yang rolled her shoulders.
Grimm Yang smirked. "Let's leave your friends occupied, shall we?" She snapped her fingers as a dark fire got between them, and then the Grimm Underworld Army dive bombed them. "Let's dance, bimbo!"

BGM: I Burn Remix (RWBY)
Grimm Bombshell - Grimm Yang
Both Yangs cocked their gauntlets, the Grimm version smirking while the other scowled, both of them lunging as both of their fists connected, as they fired their gauntlets and knocking each other back.
Grimm Yang delivered swift blows into her gut and then an uppercut into her chin, but Yang weaved her head and knee'd her in the gut, making her back up as Yang delivered swift kicks into her face and stomach, and then flip kicked right after.
"Tch, so you're implementing kicks now. Like I should be impressed!" Grimm Yang mocked as she lunged, delivering a right and a left hook where Yang blocked easily but Grimm Yang smirked and shoved her fist into her gut, shooting from her gauntlet as Yang grunted, backing up while wincing, which earned a free uppercut to her chin, her head snapping back as Grimm Yang sweep kicked her to knock her on her back.
Grimm Yang got on top of her, proceeding to punch her in the face but Yang protected her face as she kept swinging, but Yang managed to kick her off and sprang back up, delivering swift hard blows to Grimm Yang's face and gut, throwing in a few hooks and then a straight to her face, but her Grimm counterpart caught her.
"Not bad, but still predictable!" She swiftly slugged her liver, which was enough to make Yang's head spin as everything became blurry before falling on her back. It felt like someone threw several cinderblocks into her head.
End BGM
"Hahahaha! Oh, it's as if history has repeated itself!" She mocked as she grabbed her by the ankle. "Now then, time to return the favor."
"Uuungh..."
"I'm sure you wouldn't mind if Ruby saw you as a Grimm and you faded away from her eyes after I execute you. After all, I've heard you've left her in the dust to do whatever while she leaned on that big breasted bimbo that acted like a real sister to her. As far as I'm concerned... You're not even a sister at all!"
Yang let out a gasp, her eyes widening.
"AND WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Every time I have been like this, you're nowhere to be seen! You're off like, practicing your Hadoken, teasing K. Rool, or like… going off somewhere to vent your frustrations! You've NEVER been there for me when I'm despairing! What kind of sister doesn't be there for her baby sister when she's in pain?! You're off doing who knows what and leaving me high and dry!"
"Now you see… whatever it was you just thought of, now you understand what I mean. There could be multiple people that you have fought out of blind rage. It's only a matter of time before people part ways with you and end up abandoning you. You turned your back on your sister all because you were busy with other things. She needed you the most and you didn't give her that. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if your teammates abandoned you over your actions."
"Honestly, Byleth would have made a better sister than you."
"Huh?! What are you-"
"Oh, you know what I mean. You didn't even think about Ruby, all you cared about was being selfish and thinking of ways to torment K. Rool. I'm surprised that people still want to hang out with you after all that you did, especially with that temper of yours and your psychotic tendencies. And even if you finally apologized to Pit and Palutena, one of them still hasn't forgiven you yet! But honestly, Yang… Ruby is your sister. You're the only family she has when you guys are at Beacon or you're doing a fun adventure with the Mario Bros, but Ruby couldn't rely on you anymore… she was desperate. She had to find someone else to be there for her, and so Byleth found her and Ruby stuck with her! She's lucky Byleth is such a nice person, because what would happen if Ruby found someone that wasn't as nice? They would've used her desperation to their advantage to the point where she wouldn't be the same girl anymore!"
"Mom, I-"
"I'm not finished! There were plenty of times where you could have been there for Ruby, but no. You didn't even give her the time of day. And when you finally DID notice something was wrong with Ruby, it was far too late. She ran away so she could train! She clung to Gloria and Bea because she couldn't rely on you. It got to the point where you and Ruby had a falling out when you reunited! She couldn't rely on you because frankly, you are a terrible TERRIBLE sister and honestly… I'm just very disappointed in you."
"Help me… please… help me get rid of this pain from Dark Ruby… please… I beg you! I'm so sorry for everything! I'm sorry for running away, worrying all of you, abandoning everything just so I could try to get stronger over Dark Ruby! I'm sorry for everything I've done! Just please… PLEASE… take this away… I don't think I can last much longer!"
Yang clenched her fists, her eyes turning red. As far as she knew, Grimm Ruby was torturing her…
"Alright, in you go!" Grimm Yang smirked, but suddenly Yang's foot caught ablaze. "Yagh! What the hell?!" She yelped, dropping Yang as she slowly rose up.
"It's true… I haven't been the best sister…" She clenched her fists. "But that doesn't mean I can't make things right!" She exclaimed, her eyes turning draconic.
BGM: Armed and Ready (RWBY) (Start at 0:41)
"Wh-what the…?!" Grimm Yang exclaimed in surprise as Yang went into her Shin form. "What the hell is this?!"
"You and your fellow Grimm need to pack up, because I'm going to do whatever it takes to get Ruby back home safe from the likes of YOU!"
Grimm Yang took a step back before growling. "You think changing into something else will impress me? I'll still defeat you like the faker that you are!"
"Look who's talking."
The two of them lunged at each other, Grimm Yang punching her but Yang blocked and then delivered a Firaga punch to knock her back as she leapt into the air and threw out a massive fireball at her. Grimm Yang having no time to dodge as Yang landed near her, delivering a draconic punch as Grimm Yang attempted to block, but she was sent crashing into a canyon wall.
Yang put her hands together. "HADOKEN!" She yelled, as Grimm Yang was hit by it as she let out a grunt, then Yang jumped in and grabbed her by the shoulders, shoving her down and hitting her face with her knee and judo flipped her to the ground as she threw down a Shakunetsu.
"Gyah!" Grimm Yang grunted, getting up and growling. She fired her gauntlets, but Yang flew up in the air and breathed fire, engulfing her. "YAAAAAAAGH!" She's like a whole new person, what the hell is going on?!
Yang slammed into the ground, delivering a powerful uppercut to her chin to knock her up in the air as Yang flew up as her heel burst into flame as she axe kicked her to the ground, then she raised her arms up in the air, conjuring up a large golden fireball and throwing it to the ground, striking Grimm Yang. "AAAAGH!"
Once the smoke cleared, Grimm Yang tried to get up, but Yang slammed into her gut and then kicked her out of the small crater. She would then fire her gauntlets, shooting out massive fireballs at her. Grimm Yang weakly got up, as she sluggishly punched Yang, but she caught it easily with one hand, while draconic energy coursed through her other hand as she swung it down, easily cutting off her arm.
"GRAAAAAGH!" Grimm Yang screamed as Yang punched her away.
"What's wrong? You act like I disarmed you or something!" She taunted, burning up her arm with a smirk.
"You… YOU BITCH!" She screamed, lunging at her and punching her with her only arm, but Yang blocked the other and delivered a powerful draconic punch into her chest, draconic energy going straight through her body and bursting out on the other side.

Yang took a step back as Grimm Yang fell on her knees. "Hah… hah…" She panted as she looked up at Yang. "What… the hell… is this power…?"
"The power to kick Grimm Ruby's ass, that's what." Her hands burst into flames. "And your demise."
"Hah… hahahah… hahahaha!" Grimm Yang laughed as she punched the ground, surrounding herself in green fire. "This ain't over!" She said, and then once the flames disappeared, she was gone.
"Dammit…" Yang cursed under her breath as she heard footsteps approaching her as she turned around to see Byleth walking to her. "Oh… hey… listen, I-" She was interrupted with Byleth hugging her. "Oh…!"
"You may have made some mistakes with Ruby, but I know that you love her deeply." She said, looking into her eyes. "Your Grimm counterpart may still be out there, but I know we'll take her down."
"Yeah…" Yang nodded as she turned back to normal.
"I may be close to Ruby, but that doesn't mean I can't be close to my other sister too." Byleth said, giving her a soft smile. "So, cheer up… we'll find Ruby and destroy this nightmare together."
Yang smiled. "Yeah, of course. That bitch gave me the motivation I needed."
"That's the spirit!" She smiled back as Summer jumped in and hugged them both.
"Let's go! Ruby needs all of us!" Summer said as they nodded, then they all took off.
…However, they were unaware they were being watched from atop the canyon.

A figure watched them through binoculars, pulling it down as the figure had white armor throughout its body, red veins decorating the armor while wearing black boots, black shoulder pads with Grimm bones poking out, a red visor and a black and red arm cannon.
"How interesting…"

Meanwhile…
"That takes care of the first wave…" Salem said as she looked around, noticing that only Aria and Watts were with her. "Where's Donovan?"
"Last I've seen that skinwalker, he was fighting that Ursa that knocked him sideways." Aria shrugged it off. "Oh well, no skin off my back, personally."
"If I know Donovan, he should be quite alright." Watts said. "I doubt a Grimm would knock him down."
With Donovan…
"Hah… nnngh…" He put his arm over his head, leaning on a cliff wall. "The hell… is with this amulet…" He wondered, as the amulet was glowing brightly, reacting to the scarlet sky as his mind was being taken over. "Nnngh… aaagh…!"
He fell on his knees… before his eyes went completely blank. "Kill… the girl…" He got back up. "Kill. The. Girl. Kill. The. Girl!" He said as he started to escape the land before him. "Kill. Ruby. Rose!"
Unknown to him, Dimentio was watching this. "Well, it's a good thing I decided to come over and taunt Salem!" He said, watching Donovan become a mindless Faunus repeating "Kill. The. Girl" over and over again.
Dimentio let out a hearty laugh. "Well, let's give the Grimm World a hell of a show." He said, snapping his fingers as a barrier surrounded Donovan and he disappeared as Dimentio warped away.
Ibuki: Uh oh... Donovan's giving Ibuki those vibes!
Thank you Log for giving me that idea!
