#Song Lyrics#
Chapter start:
The next day everyone sat around where they were last night infront of the big bonfire in the Island of Grimm the Alliance fleet right off the coast,however this was different than last night.
Not a single person was Drunk. There Auras took care of the booze. Or if not they were given medication for it
Every single person was to be in tip top shape for what was to come
The final offensive against Salem.
They would end this today or they would not come home again…
As such the air was tense not a single person joked not cracked a smiled they all stood patiently to be addressed even as other huntsmen and students alike stood in Awe as around them and even amongst them stood Veteran Huntsman Like Qrow Brenwen, Taiyang Xiao-long. Even world famous ones like. Headmaster Ironwood.
Qrow was leaning against a pile of stacked boxes he wears his torn cape and black wristband, except he loses his necklace and old rings and now wears a new outfit. He wears a dark gray collar shirt with a black vest that has cross-shaped buttons, and a white v-neck shirt underneath, dark gray dress pants and black dress shoes. rings are black one ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right ring finger.
Qrow's weapon of choice is Harbinger, a shotgun-sword-scythe. As mentioned by Ozpin, Qrow is a master at wielding said scythe, Harbinger first appears as a longsword, which contains gears near the cross-guard area. Like most Huntsman weapons, his blade also contains a gun component.
Next to him was his teammate
Taiyang Xiao long.
Taiyang is a man with blond hair that has two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes. His facial hair consists of a soul patch and small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm is a tattoo of his emblem, which resembles a heart. His hair was once a bright shade of gold, but in his older age, it has notably grayed somewhat - still blond, but far more subdued.
He wears brown cargo shorts with a dark brown belt, black shoes, a red bandana on his left arm and a brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt with the right sleeve cut off. For armor, he wears a metal spaulder, leather vambrace and a brown fingerless glove all on his right arm.
He possesses a rather muscular build, which compliments his close-quarters style of combat.
Then there was James Ironwood
Ironwood's appearance has become less pristine over time due to the large amount of stress, his stubble had fully grown into a beard, and his hair was more disheveled and swept to the left. Ironwood wore a dark-blue collared shirt and red tie, along with a white coat with dark blue cuffs, dark blue and red accents and silver buttons. He wore a white long-sleeved double-breasted jacket over the shirt, with two dark-blue belts, one across his chest, the other around his waist. He also sported dark blue pants tucked into a pair of dark blue calf high boots with red lining and large cuffs alongside silver steel toe and heel plating. He also sported a pair of white gloves.
Ironwood's weapon of choice was Due Process, a pair of revolvers. in close combat, he also used his revolver to pistol-whip opponents, usually switching to his cybernetic arm for added power. He possessed formidable physical strength in close combat,
Lastly ending with Oscar Pine. The "current." Incarnation of Ozma. Or first true incarnation.
Oscar is a boy who is short in stature. His skin is tanned and he has a faint, perpetual blush and freckles on his cheeks. His hair is dark brown and his eyes are hazel, the main iris being forest green, with accents of burnt orange and yellow around the pupil.
He wears an olive coat with shoulder pads and a belt both of dark red. Underneath, he wears a white collared shirt and bandages wrapped around the neck. His gloves are a slightly open U-shape with black X-pattern wrist straps. He also wears black trousers and red boots colored orange at the toe.
His weapon of choice for a long time was The Long Memory, a long cane that doubles as a walking stick. Its handle is embellished with a floral pattern and features a large knuckle guard that reaches down the bottom of the handle. The larger area at the bottom of the handle contains small gold-colored gears, while the shaft of the cane has a gray-black coloration and is square in shape as opposed to most canes which have a round shaft.
However during the events of the exodus from Atlas the long memory shattered leaving only the handle the round orb broken as well. so using the staff of creation Oscar had asked Ambrosius to make a new one.
Oscar walked to the staff and called the name making the spirit rise out of it
"Oh old man… old man… you do have cleaver timing."
Oscar smiled
"I need you to make me something."
Ambrosius sighed "as always." He huffed
Oscar held out the Rinestone letting it glint from the light.
"Why, what a pretty gem where did you get?" Ambrosius asked as he flew forward to examine it but Oscar pulled his hand away.
"I need you to make a staff fit for a king with space to fit the stone at its head but properly protected so it never breaks but the stone but be complete and uncut." Oscar said
Ambrosius spat a raspberry at Oscar as he flew away
"There's no material ever that is unbreakable, nothing. Time washes away all things. It creates masterpieces as it destroys others." He said
"I don't want it to be indestructible." Oscar said
Ambrosius turned around interested
"No you didn't…did you." He said
Suddenly he snapped his fingers and a fusion of the long memory with the Rhinestone set in it. But had the Metal Spike of his old septer with a Floral pattern along its shaft.
The floral pattern was inlaid with gold and the Rhrinestone itself held itself in such a way that it was forever shining no matter which way you looked at it…
Oscar looked up stunned
"How did you?" He asked
Ambrosius smiled "a bit of creative flair…" he said as he vanished.
Oscar Dubbed his new weapon the King's scepter.
It would be the last thing Oscar would give to Jaune when he finally crowned him king.
For now Oscar was holding onto it for safekeeping, using it as his weapon and walking stick for now.
The previous students gathered were no slouches either as many made up a Who's who of what was two years ago the Vytal festival tournament.
Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, Velvet Scarlatina, and Yatsushai Datchi, of Team CVFY
Coco is a young woman with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel.
Her clothes consist of a long, cocoa-colored shirt with an upturned layered frill collar with a black single strapped waist cincher. She wears black trousers that have golden lining around the pocket and ribbons attached to the back of a golden zipper seam around her knees. A black golden studded belt is normally hidden by a large cocoa-colored belt with gun cartridges on the left side and a large golden crosshair buckle.

Coco's sunglasses hare been upgraded by Velvet Scarlatina with night vision and scoping technology. Something Coco refers to as "BunnyVision" mostly to tease Her teammates.
Her weapon is a massive minigun hidden in a designer handbag. The ease with which she swings it around to use as a bludgeon in bag form belies its high mass. Her strength is also needed to utilize the minigun mode, as the rotational inertia of the barrels and the recoil are extremely high and would normally require emplacement to avoid losing control. Her weapon trades accuracy for volume-of-fire, so small and/or fast targets can avoid her shots.
Speaking of Velvet has long, brown hair and brown eyes. She also has a pair of brown rabbit ears, identifying her as a Faunus.
Her combat gear is made up of a cropped brown jacket with a thin gold zipper and her emblem on the right of the chest, over a thin black top and brown shorts that that decorated metal trim alongside black tights with golden metal flats.

Velvet's weapon of choice is Anesidora, a camera which uses Hard-Light Dust to make copies of weapons she has photographed, which last for a few hits. Using this weapon in conjunction with her Semblance gives her the ability to mimic the fighting styles and abilities of other Huntsmen. However, she is not able to fully utilize a copy of a weapon, as she does not have the power to mimic the Semblance relating to a weapon's full capabilities. Each weapon copy can only be used once, after which point she must take a new photograph.

Of course this was just to look like a historic Paladin like his forefather Arthritis the real armor was not actually metal but it was an Aura powered exoskeleton with armor plates which when hooked up to the users armor made them basically weightless.
The wearer remained highly agile and could jump, run and otherwise move freely as the weight of the armour was spread evenly throughout the body. The armour was articulated and covered a man's entire body completely from neck to toe.
However he retains his red sash and dark brown boots. The other part about him is the fact he wears The Crown of Choice on his head. Symbolizing him as future King of Remnant.
The crown doesn't have any power anymore so it's just a crown but he wears it like he was born to wear it.
Jaune's weapon of choice is Crocea Mors. a family heirloom that was passed down from his great-great-grandfather, who used it in the Great War. And even older than that going so far as to the great King of Vale Arthritis Arc, it is composed of a simple arming sword whose sheath unfolds into a heater shield for protection.
Later after a needed upgrade it adopts the same style of his armor and has the symbol of Pyrrha's headpiece. Jaune can combine the sword and shield of his modified Crocea Mors to form a more powerful blade whose edge is lined with the same type of metal as Pyrrha's weapons, Miló and Akoúo̱. Crocea Mors upgrades by having its sword placed into the sheath as the sheath folds inward, forming a second, stronger blade around the sword. It was used against the Nuckelavee and was noticeably more effective than Jaune's lone sword.
During his stay in Atlas, the weapon has received further upgrades. The sword now has Hard Light Dust built into the sides, allowing Jaune to cover more of his body when using the shield in defense and give his weapon a sharper edge. The Hard Light also allows Jaune to use the shield as an improvised paraglider. Jaune has also had his emblem on the shield modified to store Gravity Dust, allowing him to blast targets away or break long falls by using the shield as a bounce pad.
Next we had Pyrrha Nikos and Jaunes girlfriend.

(Play: this will be the Day: acoustic: By Jeff Williams)
Ruby Rose had her hood up as she took a deep breath to steel her nerves she looked over to her team who gave her smiles
Ruby smiled back before she strode forward and dropped her hood.
"Good morning." She said
"It's a very nice sign that we awake to find out we have not been driven into the coast which means the Enemy is now on the backfoot. We have the opportunity to end this threat once and for all!" Ruby said
Everyone nodded tensely
Ruby sighed she had to rally these people more in order to be successful today.
This day was the day they needed.
The day they've been waiting for… The end of Salem. Her dream finally realized… She just had to motivate them.
"I will not lie. Before us is possibly the hardest fought battle in our careers. Heck we've already gone through it once and even then it was tough. But we got through…and so will you. This is the day we've waited for. This is the day the darkness fades. When we all as one decide to fight.
As White fang." Adam looked ridged at Ruby prepared to fight to the death for her…
"As People." Taiyang, Qrow, James, and the other teachers that joined them stood together smiling.
"As Huntsman…" all the Huntsman teams looked at Ruby, realization dawning on them that they were living through history.
"As human…" the entire gathered force stood around Ruby
"Groups from all corners of the world standing together as one…" Ruby said with a smile
I'm glad I can stand before all you people. It's an honor that the universal Truth of humanity is indeed True."
Ruby looked around and noticed the swaying of hearts around her as she smiled.
"That deep in everyone…there is a matter of good." Ruby said
"But this day is the day we shine, it is not yet over. Tough battles will have to be fought. Lives lost, people who we care for and cherish die…
This isn't the life we thought we were going to be living… but it's the one we got.
Time is running out and we have this one shot to actually finish this or we perish, and we will…if we fail
Here."
Ruby watched the despair fill the air as they looked towards the legendary huntress's.
No one said anything
Until Adam Stepped forward
"will fight alongside you the entire time." He said
"May even if my brothers and sister's abandon me…I will not falter.
"I'm not going to be running away now, not after I came this far!" Cardin Winchester roared
"YEAH!" the rest of his team shouted
"We will not give up!" Another team yelled
"We won't give in!" The rest of the crowd shouted back
They all raised there fists in the air and cheered a warcry
Ruby raised her head above to the sky eyes clenched shut to block the tears from her face…
For a few split seconds she had felt darkness in her heart…
And then
Hope…
They could do this
They will do this.
(Song End)
Ruby smiled
"We now have the hardest fight against us we have to cross this Forest and make our way to the cathedral in the center of the island.
Expect Separatists, Black Fang, Grimm, and worse." Ruby said
"Wait Separatists?" Sun asked
Weiss strode forward
"Marko has been confirmed to be alive." She announced.
All the Sentinel team's groaned.
"This is their element as ambush fighters to that end. All Sentinel teams are to pull as Vanguard and screen our traffic for Ambushes." Ruby said
"Who will lead which groups?" Oscar asked
Ruby smiled
"My team will pull as forward lead. Until we reach the Cathedral…once there should we not encourage resistance my team will break off and head inside.
From there Jaune Arc will be in overall Command of the forces on the ground. Both General Ironwood and Admiral Holland will lead their respective armies from their command centers.
"And what of us?" Ghira asked, stepping forward.
"You will match with us and hold off any attacks that hit us on the move. We cannot slow down anyone who starts to lag behind, will be killed.
To that end 4 contingents are made incase of hostile forces." Ruby said
As she said that Blake stepped forward.
"The First group will be led by Kali and they will break off the first instance we encounter resistance and hold the line for the rest of us to advance. If you have sight of the Beach you can regroup there and hold the line.
The second group will be led by Ghira. And they will follow the same instructions as group one.
Finally we have group 3 which had the great Khan. They will be in a pickle as they will probably be in a section of woods where they cannot retreat." Blake said
Sienna nodded "so we fight to the last." She said
Blake nodded grimly
"For what it's worth I'm sorry you will be compensated by having the most troops." Blake said
As for the last it will be less by Adam. They will be Attached with us the entire time. When we reach the stronghold Adam will spread out and lay siege to it.
Be careful There are Grimm pools around the back so they may try a breakout action." Blake said
Adam nodded "my Soldier's stand firm and willing to die.
Ruby nodded
"Any Huntsmen teams who do not have a role are free to follow us but we will not slow down. Choose your groups carefully." Ruby said
Without a single word said it was clear all the huntsman had chosen to follow Ruby into the thickest part of the battle.
Ruby nodded
"Very well then you have your orders, get prepared and ready to move." Ruby said as she dismissed the camp.
As they fanned out Ruby noticed Qrow, James and Holland talking to one another.
Ruby walked up to them
"You three ready?" She asked
They nodded "yes my Airfleet will circle the island to maintain the blockade." James said
"And my fighters will be with you acting as Air support for your advance." Holland said
Ruby nodded
"Qrow?" Ruby asked
"Right next to you the entire time kid." Qrow said
Ruby nodded
Hearing footsteps behind her she turned to see Yang.
"We're ready sis." She said
Ruby nodded
"Then let's go to war." She said
As they marched into the forest they felt the air shift around them.
Yet they marched forward fearless.
Ruby and her team alongside Jaune and his with Qrow, Guts, made up the lead forces,
Oscar walked alongside Jaune as they talked about being a king and ruling.
Jaune for his efforts hung onto every word while looking for any threats on the horizon
Still the air was tense.
"You know one of the things a king is known to do is boost moral while on March." Oscar said
Jaune looked to Oscar.
"Huh?"
"War anthems are one such things." Oscar said
"He's right you know." A voice said on his other side
It was his father. "Right now the air is tense. If we were to be attacked right now we would probably be routed." He said
Jaune looked back to see they were right.
Jaune looked ahead now thinking of an anthem that would help motivate the troops.
"I can't think of one that will help." He said
"Then make one up…" Henry said sagely before fading back into the line.
'Make one up….' Jaune thought
Before he knew it he was engrossed in the marching of the troops the natural sounds of their footsteps echoing like drums in his ear.
And then he started to chant.
It was a mix of all four major languages Astral, Vacoulen, Vytalan, and Mistralian. So all the troops could understand the lyrics he was singing.
Pyrrha, Ren and Nora caught on joining with the toon.
Followed by many of the huntsmen before the entire army was singing.
(Song: Rising of the moon by John Keegan Casey)
#And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so
Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow
I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon
At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon
And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be
At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me
One more word for signal token, whistle out the marching tune
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon
At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon
Out from many a mud walled cabin eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning's light
Murmurs ran along the valley to the banshee's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon
All along that singing river, that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor, whistle out the marching tune
And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon
'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon.#
As jaune stopped the Song at the end everyone was a bit heartier.
However the silence prevailed to be deeply uncomfortable.
And they were back at the same situation as before.
Before Way down the line Adam started a deeply sorrow toon.
At the chorus the rest of the white fang started singing in tandem.
(Song: The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond traditional)
#By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
"Ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road
I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond."
'T Was there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond
Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills we view
And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'#
In the middle of the Song Blake sighed Ruby looked over.
"Blake?" She asked
Blake paused as a tear rolled down her face as she explained
"It's a tradition Fanuas song going all the way back to the Fanuas civil war. The war that occurred before the one we were granted Mangenary, two soldiers were captured one was killed and one was set free. Sense then it's become a Fanuas martyr song." Blake said
"It's older than that…" Oscar said heartfelt
Everyone turned to see him holding his eyes closed but they could tell he was holding back tears.
And then he started to Sing as if he knew the song… word for word. Each word pouring off his lips with emotion.
and with him joining the rest of the humans who were awkward at that point began to join in. Creating a harmony within the army.
#Ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road
I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring again
Tho' the waefu' may cease from their greeting#
The song echoed across the island as the waves boomed with the heart felt volume… in Salems cathedral she sat on her throne and heard through the window's the song…
The song she wrote so long ago in an ancient age…
Despite giving herself up to evil so long ago her motivation for doing so was pure…so much that deep inside evil failed to root itself.
Salem found tears welling up in her eyes as she joined in the final chorus the vocals of Ozma and Salem meeting again…
#Ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road
I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond#
Eventually as the song ended and it got quiet as those in the front let Oscar have his moment as he let the tears fall.
There was something in the air dispare mixed with pleading,
Finally Ruby let out a deep sigh and started to sing a deep Baliad theme deep from the heart. As a tribute to Ozpin and his quest…
#When I have draw my last Breath,
And I have failed my last chance.
I will turn to you
And say "I've failed you,
I wasn't there to see you."
But while I'm still here
And I am quite near
I will try to be there.
Here I am
Far away
Where I am I cannot say
I long to say
I'm on my way,
On my way back home to you
I'm on my way back home to you
On my way back
On my way back
On my way back home to you.
While I go my own way,
I hope to see you someday,
But that's a long way,
Far from today,
I will think of you always.
And when I see you
I'll Say I love you
I hope to be beside you
Here I am
Far away
Where I am I cannot say
I long to say
I'm on my way,
On my way back home to you
I'm on my way back home to you
On my way back
On my way back
On my way back home to you.
While I store my dreams away
I wish to know that you are safe
But while I miss you
Looking to kiss you
I hope to spend my life with you
I can see you
Hug and love you
And never want to leave you
Here I am
Far away
Where I am I cannot say
I long to say
I'm on my way,
On my way back home to you
I'm on my way back home to you
On my way back
On my way back
On my way back home to you.
But now those days have gone away
And I lay here to rot away
But I still miss you
And I wish you
We're here to see me go away...
Here I am
From far away
Here I am and home to stay
What do you say?
I'm home to stay.#
When Ruby finished the song everyone was looking at her in awe.
"R-Ruby…" Yang said
Ruby looked back with a smile on her face
Suddenly a snap of a tree branch made her look back and see a Grimm lunging at Ruby
Fortunately Jaune was ready as he grabbed Ruby and pulled her to safety as he drew his sword and shield infusing his aura into his weapon to make them glow of an unnatural light.
"Attack!" Jaune roared as he jumped into the fray.
The Huntsmen Charged to beat back the Grimm attackers. As they charged Past Ruby to meet the Grimm horde.
While Jaune and the others were fighting it allowed Kali to come up by Ruby and take control and take the pressure off the Forefront of the force.
Ruby rang the call.
"WE MARCH GROUP 1 engage everyone else disengage!" Ruby yelled
With a great heave the army gave a push and sent the wave of Grimm flying allowing the Army to regroup and match on while Kali and her group insured that They could get there.
In Salems cathedral Salem sat on her throne. Anticipating an update.
Suddenly one of the Seer Grimm floated in
"Report." Salem said
Suddenly the orb was filled by the image of a Grimm man
"My lady I have engaged the Rose." They said.
"And?" Salem asked
"I failed." They said
Salem tensed nearly cracking the bones that made up the armrest of her throne as she spoke calmly
"Explain." She hissed
"I engaged the force hoping to slow down there progress but unfortunately they just pulled back leaving a division behind and have forged a new path ahead. I fear they will repeat this strategy should I try again."
Salem brushed her chin "yes it does seem this way… very well inform the others to pull back and maintain position on the flat fields outside we will prepare a Pitched battle there before the siege. Hoping to stall them." Salem said
The Grimm man nodded and vanished from the orb.
Salem hummed "Marko is the only human follower I have right now and I don't trust him that much…" Salem hissed she was in a pickle.
Back on The March Kali had seen the Grimm retreat and thinking it was an ambush she pulled her forces back however after a few minutes and no ambush she decided to press on and link up with Ruby again.
In the jungle Marko was pissed he had just gotten the order to pull back and to maintain a permitter around the the cathedral
In the flat crystalline planes around the Palace
No cover for Air supper which the enemy clearly has
Marko knew it was sucide to form up there as they would be sitting ducks from bombardment's from the airships now that Atlas has achieved Air superiority.
Marko didn't like it but he could tell this was a do or die situation
He had one last clone. One that he promised that Salem could do what she wished of if it came down to it.
Meaning that if he was to be killed here he'd be subjected to a Grimm Pool dip and come out the Commander and Cheif of the Grimm armies.
Of course this would also make him immortal too.
Tempting but he didn't want to give up his rights to be enslaved to a hive mind.
Still he had a job to do.
If the army was on approach to the cathedral the least he could do is ensure they couldn't get back.
"Start operation Delta 4 repeat delta 4…" Marko said to his scroll
{"repeat Sir did you say Delta four? With us still in the forest?"} a fanuas asked on the other side
Marko snided "we're abandoning the forest Salem wants us to stand by as a deterrent to a siege from the invaders directly on the cathedral." He said
{"but that's stupid they have air support?!"} the guy on the other side said
"I know that but orders are orders get it done and regroup." Marko said as he turned off his scroll he stood up from his Prone position and sighed "well time to get back." He said as he made his way out of the forest.
At Salems cathedral The rest of Marko's platoon those that survived the exodus from Atlas and being hunted by The black Array were waiting for orders from there commander.
They sat in a hall eating as one looked at the rest of his squad.
"Any idea when he's coming back?" He asked
"How the fuck should I know moron?" The one across from him said
The one next to him a female spoke up
"Because you're his second in command duh." She said
"Listen all i know is we are to stay here until further orders that's it." He said
{"well you've got your orders get ready and form a defense perimeter around the structure Salem wants us to form a pitched battle to keep the invaders occupied."} Marko said
The others looked confused
"Sir we don't operate well like that." The 2ic said
{"I understand that, But orders are orders get the heavy artillery set up and see if you can't clear some of the skies to give us at least some contested Air superiority."}
The 2ic looked at the others
"Understood." He said
{"also check scrolls for comms we're going to maintain Strict closed communication's."} Marko said as he cut off his call
The 2ic huffed
"You heard the boss get ready." He said as the others groaned and got up to prepare for the siege.
Back with Ruby she had just gotten word that the attack behind them had cut off their path to the beaches. Meaning they'd have to push on.
And push on they infact did. Reaching to the point where they felt that they were walking into a trap.
A trap they had no choice but to spring it.
Ruby lead the army towards the Cathedral and found Themselves in the middle of an open field. About a square acre. The cathedral a small dot on the horizon.
Judging by the reaction from Ruby's face Jaune hazard a guess this was new.
"Ruby is this new?" Jaune asked
"Mostly…I mean there was a small field before but nothing this big." Ruby said
"You think She's learned from our fight?" Weiss asked
"Wouldn't be surprised." Ruby said
"I hate to say it but up ahead…" Qrow said
Ruby looked and noticed the distance
The Grimm lined up.
"Why are they just standing there?" Coco asked
"There waiting for orders…" Blake remarked
"A pitched battle." Yang said
"What's the plan Ruby?" Weiss asked
Ruby sighed
"Jaune…lead." She said simply
Jaune turned around and announced his battle orders
"MEN STAND AND FIGHT! I want the group led by Ghira and Kali on the left flank. Adam, I want yours on the Right. But keep Sienna Kahn in the center, We can't be bogged down by a pitched battle like this. Our job is to occupy the enemy so Team RWBY can punch a hole in the line and carve there way to Salem themselves!" Jaune yelled as he turned to the battle line ahead of him as the troops positioned themselves as ordered Jaune held his sword in front of him resting his wrists on his Pommel
Am I understood?!" He asked after a second
Suddenly every able man in the alliance Shouted the response at the top of there lungs
"Yes my king!" They all shouted at once.
His father…Adam, the rest of the white fang.
Ruby and even… His father.
It wasn't rehearsed, it wasn't planned
These people truly believed Jaune deserved the title they just bestowed upon him.
Jaune shut his eyes, his crown feeling heavier by the second… once the Troops were deployed
Jaune Drew his sword from his sheath and pointed forward preparing the army to attack.
(Play Song: Ancient forest of elves by Luca Turilli.)
Jaune Held his sword out straight, looking at the massive Army of Grimm and Separatists in front of him as if it was just a brick wall… and he had a nuke.
Jaune Dropped his sword as the order was given and everyone charged ahead.
The Grimm on the other side seeing their enemy on approach could no longer hold back their bloodlust and charged to meet them head on.
Several Huntsmen teams charged ahead first leading the charge was Nora and a contingent of like minded huntsmen who with a mighty battle roar and a great swing shook the ground like thunder as the shockwave alone sent over 50 Grimm into the sky.
And that was by Nora wielding Mengheld in one hand with her enhancement's with a Backslap swing.
The Grimm around those that died instantly tried to plug the hole Nora left
But the other heavy hitters arrived and descended upon them giving off sizable blows and sending several away as well.
Jaune felt heat on his skin as he looked over to see Yang glowing red and the solid outline of a dragon took shape in her fiery aura.
Jaune looked around and saw, Oscar, Pyrrha, and Even Ruby looking at Jaune not in an expected look that he should join…but that they would respect what he chose…to sit back or not
Jaune took a deep breath and focused his aura.
He snapped his eyes open and Raised his sword and charged.
As he crossed the empty fields alone and took a mighty swing using his aura to cleave a good Row of Grimm dead in one blast. As Nora looked back shocked
As Jaune leapt over her and Stabbed a Beowolf that was lunging at her from the underside of the jaw.
Before the Rest of the alliance crashed into the battle lines.
Jaune landed in the thickest horde of Grimm as they surrounded him in a bubble trying to claw at him
However the armor was strong enough that no Grimm claws or man made Weapons could pierce it
He was literally unkillable unless Salem herself decided to show up.
However Jaune wasn't slouching as he swung his sword with great vigor. And cleaved a massive row of Beowolves.
He used his shield to repel others that tried to get past him and waited for the rest of the army to show up.
He didn't have to wait long as they charged in following their future king.
"Jaune." He heard a voice say behind him
He looked to see his father looking at him
"I'm proud of you son." He said
Jaune nodded "thanks dad."
In another dimension The Godhand we're nearly finished corrupting both brothers and were finally approaching the Culmination of their great plan.
The two brothers were fighting to keep themselves awake and in control of their powers as they found themselves being drained of their energy. As they saw in the haze of there failing vision
A beating heart in a swirling vortex of souls.
However they also saw something else
I bright White silhouette of a figure with Long white hair and spoke in the most gentlest voice
"Hang on…help is coming…"
The bothers were shocked at the voice… could they…
They were going to try…
The brothers focused the last of their powers to fight against the Godhand.
"Who are you?" The God of Light asked
The silhouette just let out an invisible smile as he said
"I am, hope…"
On the battlefield Jaune was swinging his sword like a madman, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren doing the same.
Across the flanks the giant melee was as brutal as it was massive. As White fang fell upon the Grimm to give cover to injured huntsmen to pull them out of the fire. As huntsman did the same for white fang squad's.
Jaune looked over the line and glanced at the cathedral…
He saw a dark cloud gather around the cathedral like a storm.
He felt a voice echo in his head it was powerful…it was kingly… But it wasn't his grandfather Arthritis, It was his voice.
"We're too late…order Team Rwby to go now!"
Jaune had so many questions, most importantly why his future self was in his head but right now all that filled his mind was the importance of this decision as he turned back to the team of 5.
"Ruby! You're up! go now!"
"Let's go Girl's!" Ruby said as they charged into the thickest part of the lines.
And so a new legend begins...
The borders of space and time are broken once again
And the wise energy of the cosmos calls for another hero…
Jaune watched as Ruby Cleaved past the Grimm, not slowing down as they barged past the Grimm trying to breach the line.
However Jaune could tell they were too slow.
"Damn it! Pyrrha, Nora, Throw me!" He yelled in desperation.
"Heads up!" Nora called as Jaune Felt his armor take the strain of Pyrrha's semblance. It felt like stretching an elastic band.
And then Nora hit him on the back making the force go flying as he shot off like a rocket.
The two watched him go into the distance
"Do you think you hit him too hard?" Pyrrha asked
Nor shrugged
High in the sky Jaune Opened his shield high above the battlefield and fired changing his direction's to shoot himself at the ground.
Jaune pointed His sword forward as he roared pouring all his aura into this strike as he passed terminal velocity.
The impact cracked the continent and Created a tidal wave on the other side of the World.
Jaune stood up from his crater.
Looking no worse for wear… Just mighty pissed off.
He called out to his army.
"Team Rwby is fighting for you! We have a chance to go down in history! but you need to work for it! Fight!" Jaune yelled. As he spiked his sword into the ground and let out his biggest use of his semblance he could covering the entire Army in his Amp powers.
Jaune drew his sword from the ground holding it in icepick form not having time to switch stances and Rushed headforth using all his aura, enchantments and everything to charge to get to the enemy faster.
As did everyone else.
Jaune's heavy swings were enough to break boulders mountains, Nora's was enough to flatten them.
The Greek Kahn used her rope dart as a maul to smack two Grimm together as her husband slammed his fists into them and broke them in one punch.
(Song End)
On the left flank. Adam grit his teeth as the Grimm kept pouring on him he charged and fluidly swung Wilt and blush cutting apart the Grimm.
He looked over to see a large contingent of Grimm in the back breaking off and going to reinforce the center line…
Right where Team RWBY was about to break through.
Adam growled "cover me!" He yelled as he sheathed his sword and charged up his semblance
After five seconds he ripped it out of the scabbard and released the Moonslice. Rendering the force of the Grimm cleaved away.
The army of the white fang charged to plug the hole before the Grimm could.
The huntsman we're doing what they could but at this time it was too little too late.
Besides most were in the thick of it already trying to relieve Ruby of the Grimm horde ontop them.
Adam called out behind him.
"Get me a line to Ghira I have an idea." He said
On the other side Ghira was back to back with Kali as they were surrounded on all sides by grimm
"Well honey…" Ghira said sadly feeling that this is the last moment they would have together.
"Oh shut up and fight!" Kali roared savagely
Ghira looked at Kali shocked
As she leapt over her husband and punched a Grimm to death. As Ghira staired at her in awe. She stormed back to her she'll shock husband and Kissed him passionately
"Let it be known that after this battle we are having another kid. And if they are even half as good as Blake…"
Ghira cut her off "we will love them all the same." He said as the other white fang on there flank charged past them as a messenger ran up to them
"High chieftain!" He said with a bow.
Ghira looked over to the man as he wore a mask of Adams elite troopers who still wore their Grimm masks to signify them as the elite.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked
"Brother Adam is Requesting a Huntsman team of heavy hitters to breach the line." He said
Ghira nods
"If you can find them you have my permission." He said
The messenger nodded and ran off to the front.
Team SAFR were in a group melee with a Centinel Grimm about 3 times larger than normal. As it was about to crush a group of injured fighters.
"Asher!" Arrastra yelled as Asher ran forward and used his pendant to try to control the Grimm
The Centinel Grimm roared and rested its head back
However the pendant grew hot in Asher's hands before it exploded from a forced feedback loop from Salem overpowering the device sending Asher flying knocked out.
Arrastra looked shocked at their fallen member.
What the hell were they going to do now?
(Play song: Rock and roll Dreams come through: by meatloaf)
Salem sat on her throne looking ansty at the Orb that showed her how the defense was holding up.
It wasn't looking good as Team RWBY were punching a hole deeper and deeper making the battle line constrict trying to reinforce the punch point.
The question was would it be enough…
Salem hoped so.
She tapped her chin with her taloned hand before she looked down at said hand.
And had an out of body experience
'This isn't your hand…'
Salem tried to shake the thought but it proved insistent as she spiraled into an inner conflict.
'I understand what your going through…' she said mentally
Salem grit her teeth "shut up." She but back.
'You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart'
And then it started to show her past with herself and Ozma happy.
Spending day after day in harmony,
Raising the family, and how she cherished them.
Before they were ripped away by the gods and there skemes
Normally that would Fuel Salem into the path of the battle with the Godhand…
But this time it in fact remained stuck on that memory.
Ozma smiling back at her biggest shit eating grin on his face.
So naive it made her sick,
But at the same time something else was there too. Something foreign…
Something she hadn't felt in a long time…
But she couldn't place it. All she knew was it made her sad
And that wanted to make her hunt it down and destroy it.
After a while she found it.
The song… the old song that she heard before that she made so long so to release her pain at being trapped on the world while her… oh what's that word…
Nope it's gone…probably not important.
However Salem couldn't let the concept go.
No she had to find the word…nothing else mattered at that point.
What was Ozma to her before?
She thought about the song again maybe that held the secret…
All she remembered was the day the Godhand decended down on the mannor. And the sacrifice she gave.
But…that's funny she couldn't remember what she sacrificed anymore…
Salem started playing the song again, her head trying to strike up the inspiration needed to figure out this damn riddle.
She could see Ozma's lips moving. Even her daughters all of them.
Yet to her they were speaking gibberish
They were laying on the couch arms wrapped around each other comfortably as they soothed each other.
It made her feel warm inside.
Salem looked back at her taloned hand and began to cry.
"I didn't deserve this… nor did I want this…"
Suddenly the voice of Ozma echoed in her mind like. Thunderclap
"Remember everything that I told you…
I'm telling you again that it's true…"
Then the voice faded making her stand up shocked
"What?! What is it?!" She screamed"
Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby!
Suddenly a choir of voices rang in her head two versions of her fighting for dominance.
One who took a pure evil approach and fell into the Idea of evil's cluches…
And the other…who gave into the evil demands to serve righteous justices…
Salem finally understood she was hearing both voices the entire time…ever sense…that day…
The day she gave her Love away…
She'd been listening to only one voice before. The one the Godhand wanted her to hear…
And now she was finally listening to both again…
And for the first time Salem made a choice…
She decided to listen to the other voice for once.
Salem looked up at the ceiling of her throne room tears falling down her face
"Dreams do come true…" she said with a smile on her face.
( End song)
Unfortunately Salem didn't have a choice…as her Will was overruled by the powers that be.
Salem found herself sitting down trapped in her own body as if commandeered as a puppet.
And she ordered the Grimm to attack again.
In the battlefield Team CFVY was getting overwhelmed. Coco grit her teeth as she mowed down as many Grimm as she could
"Damn it this isn't working." She hissed
"Hey it can't get any worse!" Neptune said blasting a few Grimm from afar with his rifle
Suddenly a loud screech was heard which made the battlefield go silent.
"It just got worse." Sage said
"Ohhh shit." May said
The mountain from the distance that the cathedral was on top of started to move.
Because it wasn't a Mountain
It was another Monstra. This one, even larger than the one that attacked atlas.
The Giant whale opened its maw.
And 15 Wyverns flew out spawning more Grimm from its dropping
Everything looked up at the new Grimm and felt a sense of helplessness and dread fill them inside.
In the front Team Rwby looked appalled
"Holy shit… is that?" Yang gasped
"We could barely deal with one…" Weiss said
"Theresce?" Blake asked Weiss
Weiss shook her head "this beast dwarfs the biggest thing I can make let alone what else it's making." She said
Ruby sighed and stood up her cloak billowing in the wind Guts standing next to her.
"Come on team we've faced worst odds." Ruby said
The others looked at Ruby like she had 3 heads
"Ruby…this is literally apocalyptic standards are you sure?" Yang asked
Ruby just looked over her shoulder and gave a smile.
As she turned back and used her silver eyes blasting the Wyverns away.
(Play Dream Evil: Chosen ones:)
When the light faded it was revealed that all the Wyverns but one were stone and Falling
As they shattered on the ground Hope began to rise once more. As they rallied behind the support of Ruby and her team.
As they saved the day as heros…and would fall into the annels as legends forever.
Ruby Weiss Blake and Yang didn't hesitate as they made there final charge towards the Entryway of the cathedral.
They jumped over the defensive barrier set up by Marko and the Separatists. As they tried to distract Ruby and the others they themselves had to contend that their battle lines were on the verge of collapse.
(End song)
Marko hissed and looked over to the other three Grimmmen.
"Stall them in the Stronghold I'll reverse the tide here." He said
The human Grimm looked at each other
"But what about?"
Marko cracked his neck "you'll only get in the way." He said as he sent up a black flair.
Suddenly a horde of separatist fighters rose up from behind the grimm lines and slammed hard into the alliance forces.
The sudden force was enough to drive the momentum to a grinding halt.
There were screams all across the battlefield as unprepared teams faced against the separatists faction and their limited super soldiers.
Still it was enough to slow the offense down and start to reverse the gains the alliance had.
However team Rwby was through and made a beeline to the cathedral.
Jaune watched as they headed towards the stonework unopposed.
Jaune raised his sword as he called out.
"They are through keep them occupied now! Second rally Fight!" Jaune yelled.
(Play song: Élan by nightwish.)
Salem opened her eyes as she felt the magic shift around her…
Team RWBY had arrived
She looked up to see all three of the Grimmmen standing before her
"Shall we stall them my queen?" One asked
Salem nodded
Ruby, Weiss, Blake Yang and Guts made it to the main entrance of the cathedral as Ruby kicked the door in.
They moved swiftly and cleared the foyer
It was empty.
"Damn it where is she?!" Yang hissed
Ruby looked at the staircase and saw it..
A shadow.
"There! second floor, let's move!" Ruby called as she started to run up the stairs
She they made it to the top of the stairs and saw that no one was there.
Ruby passed by a mural showing the previous battle they had with Salem
Weiss Blake and Yang followed trying to catch up while Guts was back on the ground floor looking around.
Guts walked to the Mural and noticed it was dusty..
He brushed the dust away to study it more.
It was the moment when he lobbed off her head…
But why would she immortalized that moment?
Unless
Guts looked out and noticed that the stars in the sky were going out…
Salem was preparing another Sacrifice like Grace before her.
Guts Ran up the stairs to stop the plot
Guts was skipping steps to get there faster. He couldn't be slow not again.
Guts noticed more and more stars going out faster and faster.
Guts met the other 4 standing in front of the Back doors to the balcony where Salem is seen standing there
Infront of them was a 3 humanoid Grimm standing as guards.
Guts didn't stop as he flew
Only for the roof to collapse above him
Guts landed and jumped out of the way.
As the imposing form of Zodd the immortal landed.
The three Grimmmen looked at each other with concern.
Zodd turned to Guts and the others
"Go." He said simply.
Ruby nodded and the Five of them made a beeline for the door
The Grimmmen tried to step in the way.
But Zodd roared and with a mighty punch sent the one who went to stand in front of Ruby flying before bringing a mighty sweep knocking the other away. As well.
Ruby stood by the door and looked back at Zodd
"Thank you." She said
Zodd scoffed "I didn't do this for you but next time we meet…we will fight Ruby Rose…" Zodd said before he flew off into the air
Ruby opened the Door and stepped out into the balcony
As Salem turned around to face them with a sinister smile on her face.
(End song)
Rwby and Guts pose dramatically getting ready for the biggest fight ahead of them.
On the battlefield Things we're not going well.
However no matter what happened or how many times they were beaten down they got back up and smashed twice as hard as before
Most of that was the courageousness of their King.
(Play song: Warriors of the world united: by Manowar)
Jaune pulled himself up Aided by Qrow, Oscar, Sienna And Pyrrha,
The 4 looked at Jaune and nodded at him as he steeled himself.
Jaune looked behind him to see those who were behind him ready to fight.
Even if they were bloodied
Some could barely stand up yet they did. For there king. And for there future.
Jaune looked at his sword and held it hard in his grip until his hand began to bleed
He just wanted to fall down…
But then his mind went back to those in Vale,
In vacuole, Mistral and Mantle now.
Jaune stood up and walked forward he took a stumble
Pyrrha went to save him but Oscar held her back.
As he stablized himself.
Jaune drew his sword and raised it high
"You've earned your day of Glory! But we have a bit more to go! If we leave now this horde will cause Havoc across the world we need to stand and fight. Are you ready?" Jaune asked
Suddenly a bolt of lightning hit the ground behind him as Nora strode out holding her hammer
"Sworn to fight and die." She said looking at Jaune dead serious.
Jaune looked back at the army and saw they had the same reaction on their face.
In the cathedral Salem snarled as she saw the team has reached her so soon, however three puddles of Grimm sludge formed by her feet and turned into humanoid shapes
The Grimmmen arrived too.
"You will not pass." One of the Grimmmen said
"We're here to finish the job." Ruby said
"Whether your here or not." Ruby snarled
Weiss, Blake And Yang charged up there Semblance's ready for action at a moment's notice
As Ruby Powered up her eyes.
Salem growled and prepared her weapon, a sword in her hand covered in Grimm goop.
In her head she sees Ozma besides them.
It ticked her off as she shook her head and saw Guts in his place.
"Die then!" Salem roared as she charged.
Ruby snapped out orders as she looked around.
"Weiss, Blake, Yang stall them, me and Guts will take on Salem." Ruby said
All three activated their semblances. Weiss withheld the power inside herself and filtered it into Mystnaster which glowed as if it was made out of light, it was so bright that no discernable shape to it.
Blake created another living copy of herself using half her aura but just as durable as she was..
turned her body out of the elements of Dust. Like Hazel but more extreme. Her eyes were made of cut lighting dust gems, her bow made of gravity, her left arm Fire dust, her right Earth dust, Her legs were made of ice dust. She was like an elemental golem but she wasn't a clone,
And Yang had her Aura pulsating with the silhouette of a dragon. The heat radiating off her felt like a bonfire.
Ruby and Guts stood before Salem as Ruby took a deep breath. She knew there was a high chance she's not be returning from this battle she had gotten lucky last time…now she's rolling the dice again…
Yet she will not give in… she knows she can kill her…
But of course that's not the goal this time…
Ruby and guts stood back to back.
"Shall we go together or one at a time?" Ruby asked her boyfriend.
"Probe first." Guts said
Ruby nodded
Ruby nodded and disappeared appearing in the Air above Salem Cresent rose open across her back as she fell she let out a mighty roar and gave a great heave and one armed swing downwards on Salem.
Salem knowing she'd not have the range to block the attack used magic to summon a wall to hook on the scythe blade.
Ruby grit her teeth and fired, landing back by Guts.
With Yang, Blake and Weiss they stood before the 3 Grimmen.
"I pity that you have to go against us." The grimmen standing before Yang said
Yang just cracked her neck unphased
"That's funny I was going to say the same thing."
The Grimmen sent out a host of 15 or so tendrils towards Yang. Each with a different vector to hit Yang.
However Yang was again unphased as she just flaired her Aura
And the Tendrils were burned away, evaporated by the pure heat
The Grimm grimaced back as he pulled the tendrils away
Yang smiled "what's wrong, tough guy? Too bright for your shadow?" The Grimm growled, this was going to be harder than he thought.
Weiss stood across her Grimmmen and it took the approach to rush at her.
However Weiss used a glyph to block the attack as she dipped the glyph away she rushed forward for a barrage attack.
Blake stood down her opponent who tried to rush at Blake with a faint.
However Blake was a master Infiltrator and could judge people quiet easily. So it's no surprise when Blake just struck out in the open air for no reason
And ended up hitting the Grimm when they appeared there second's later. As her clone came up behind and struck her sending Hm down to the primes feet.
"Argh!" The Grimm yelled in pain as Blake just smiled down at him.
Taunting the Grimm at how easy this was.
"At least make this a challenge please." She said
Back with Yang the Grimm tried another approach as it tried to jump at her and clock her with a kick to the face.
Before vanishing.
Yang just turned around and held her hand out
And caught the Grimm foot.
Before it could process he had been caught Yang threw him over her shoulder spiking them into the ground.
The Grimm got up and tried to lunge again
Only to double over as Yang without even fully extending but elegantly turning her torso struck a punch on the grimm.
Yang twisted herself back to fully face the Grimm still unphased
(End song)
Meanwhile with Jaune and the others.
There was a line wide melee clash, which was brutal as it was intense as loud explosions were heard across the lines.
Oscar swung The King's scepter He swung his cane down and delivered a hard hit on the Grimm and killed it swiftly.
As he panted he looked up to see a Beowolf lunging at him.
Fortunately the Beowulf was cut off by a bird which flew down and classed the Beowulf apart.
The bird transformed into Qrow which impaled the Beowolf as he fell on it.
"How are you Oz?" He asks
"It's a shit storm." Oscar said
"Yeah it is…but can we win?" Qrow asked
"It's not up to us…it's up to Rwby and Jaune." Oscar said.
"You really believe in them don't you." Qrow said
"Don't you?" Oscar asked
Qrow huffed he wasn't wrong, Qrow looked at the cathedral. "I just wish there was more we could do."
"There is…kill as many as we can." Oscar said
Qrow looked at the battlefield "looks like Jaune is doing that just fine."
Indeed Jaune was swinging Crocea mors in wide arcs slashing apart the Grimm to the point they couldn't even get close to even try to attack him.
As Jaune let out a battle cry and rendered a horde of Grimm to dust he stood up panting as he brushed the sweat off his brow.
He looked ahead and stood straight up…. Ridged…
In Front of him having the Gaul to almost taunt the future king…
Was Marko.
He smiled as he gave a slow clap to Jaune.
"Very good, I underestimated you." He said
Jaune said nothing as he looked at Marko.
He scoffed "you know when I first saw you and I heard you were getting Sentinel modifications you know what I first thought. 'Gee finally making a decent Huntsman out of him.' But then you excelled. Meteorically! Even going so far as to get some special Guardsmen two Armor." Marko said as he waved his hand and held his assault rifle in his hands.
"Of course…that's all you have…no skill just special tools…" he said as he clenched his fist and the assault rifle shattered
"While I was your indirect foil…gaining all the skills but no tools." He said as he waved his hand and the assault rifle reformed itself into an arming Sword same as Crocea mors.
He held it out in front of him as if enticing a duel from Jaune.
"Wanna find out?" He asked with a taunting smile.
(Play song: Until the end, By Breaking Benjamin)
The two stood before each other poetically as everyone around them held a baited breath. Jaune with his sword and shield And Marko with his single sword.
Not even the Grimm we're compelled to interfere.
Suddenly the two vanished using all there enhanced speed to outpace the other
They met in the middle with Clashed swords
The resulting explosion was enough to send everyone and thing: flying within a fifty foot radius.
Jaune looked at Marko dead in the eyes, his face not betraying anything.
Marko was the complete opposite with a sick twisted smile stuck on his face.
He was enjoying every minute of this.
The two broke away and clashed one again and in the span of 15 seconds over 250 Explosions and Soundwaves were heard sending friend and foe alike scattering. As Jaune weathered the hits with his shield he sent a blast from it but Marko dodged it as it blasted Grimm behind Him
Marko turned around and swung
As the blades locked once more Marko went to taunt Jaune but he got there first.
"You think you're so clever… your not," he said as he jumped back
"I'm done with these petty fights and you running away. I'm killing you here today."
Marko extended his arms out spinning around dramatically "Here I stay."
"It's over, Marko give up." Jaune said
"No Jaune, I feel it growing stronger. I'll live to die another day, Until I fade away." Marko yelled as he charged at Jaune again
They met as Marko continued I speak
"Why not give up, just give in? It's not going to be enough, it never is."
"I will go on until the end." Jaune said stoically as he pushed him back and went on the offensive as he took a great big swing
Marko had to jump away as the shockwave destroyed at least 50 Grimm behind him, making him grimace.
Everyone around the Alliance was shocked seeing Jaune go toe to toe with Marko and not only holding his own but even pushing him back. Even without his shield they broke away to look at each other.
Even Pyrrha was shocked at this. Jaune had become powerful…no he's become her equal.
Jaune and Marko looked around to see that in the pause the Grimm tried to fill back the missing gaps
However it didn't last long as they charged again another brutal crash erupted the battlefield sending the Grimm apart.
Marko growled tersely, he was no longer mocking Jaune.
He was taking him seriously and in his head he felt the compulsion to die to get the powerboost of the Grimm or whatever Salem had planned for him. As he lunged again
Jaune flicked his wrist disarming Marko and blasting him back as Marko looked up he saw Crocea Mors at his throat as Jaune looked at him still impassively he repeated himself
"It's over, No Darkness any longer." He said
Marko laughed
"I knew my day would come to end, So let this life begin!" He roared as he charged at Jaune anyway and bashed his sword and shield away, sending it flying's as the two engaged in hand to hand combat.
However they both knew that both their enhanced body's and Aura would not allow them to kill each other with just their fists. They looked back over their shoulders and saw their swords away from each other.
They broke off and lunged getting to there respective blades at the same time and spinning around as both tips clashed
Jaune backrolled as Marko gave an overhead swing as he got on his feet first and went to kick Marko but the Sentinel 1 grappled Jaune and knocked him over as Marko reached for his dagger but Jaune swatted it away. However Marko hung onto it and was preparing to slowly stab it in his chest
Jaune looked over to see people looking for a place to intervene to help Jaune.
"Don't!" He roared cutting them off making Marko look up and see two white fang troops preparing to tackle Marko
The two men looked at each other and Jaune for the first time in the match showed emotion.
Anger.
"He's mine." He said as he headbutted Marko sending him flying
Jaune stood up as Marko stayed on his knees Jaune started to walk forward towards Marko preparing to finish him. Finally standing over him
"Living is Hard enough, Without you fucking up." Jaune said as he raised his sword over his head to cut down Marko
Only for a Long Single Grimm claw to Pierce the Front chest plate of his armor
Bloodied
Jaune was completely run through with a mortal wound.
"NOOOOO!" Pyrrha screamed in agony but was held back by Oscar and Qrow to run to her boyfriend.
Behind Jaune was one of the grimm men who was fighting Weiss.
Everyone just stood in shock as Jaune just stood there impaled
Jaune fell limp as his sword started to droop
'Is this it? Is this the end? After all I've done, am I destined to die…here?'
He heard screaming in his head. Not his own, motivating him forward.
'No, not by my choice.' Jaune clenched the sword in his hands and with a great heave swung…
But he wasn't going for Marko.
No he swung Under and Slashed the Grimm who came up behind him killing it instantly.
As the Grimm died and vanished, so did the blade suspending him.
Jaune stumbled but he did not fall.
As he stood there the face of Marko shifted to pure awe
And then fear as Jaune stood back up straight.
And activated his aura.
Then lunged at Marko as if nothing was wrong.
Each slash he did he Spoke back the taunting words Marko said to him before.
"Why give up?" Clash Marko went flying as he grit his teeth and barely blocked the next attack.
"why give in?" Another swing and clash
"It's not enough, it never is." This time Jaune held up a heavy swing and swung with both hands.
"I will go on until the end!" He said as he stood apart from Marko
And simply bent down and picked up his shield…
Knowing that there was no hope for him at this rate unless he changed something Marko went on for the last offensive.
However Jaune, now armed with his shield, used it in tandem with his sword parrying Marko's attack before cutting him with his blade as he spun around and did it again as Marko stepped back as he registered he was hit.
Marko felt his vision blur as he had a large gash in his chest. He fell to his knees trying to keep his breathing steady
He was helpless to Jaune.
A foe he believed to be inferior to him.
Marko grit his teeth as he like Jaune pushed himself forward to try to get one last attack
Only to find Jaune's blade in his chest.
He looked down to see Crocea Mors in his chest.
Stabbing his heart.
Jaune looked at Marko
"We will defeat Salem." He said as he plunged his base deeper and came out the other side.
Jaune withdrew his blade as Marko's head fell limp and he died.
(End song)
(Play song Long live the king: by Sabaton)
Jaune sighed and started panting.
Standing over the limp form of Marko.
Before Jaune felt a loud Thump and the ground got closer
'Oh right that was his sword… and his knees'
He heard muffled screaming in his ear as he was laid down backwards and saw in his cloudy vision Pyrrha.
'Oh right Pyrrha…the girl he hoped to one day marry…
Jaune knew one thing…he never liked to see her cry…
Which was something she was doing now.
"Hey…what's wrong?" Jaune asked knowing something was up as he felt that his voice was slow but didn't know what it ment.
Pyrrha just wiped her tears "oh Jaune you silly. It's you." She said
Jaune smiled like a giddy schoolgirl at her "yep!" He said cheekily as if he just ran a marathon on his own.
Pyrrha wanted to scream to tell Jaune to keep fighting but his mannerisms only just made her laugh.
The growling of the nearby Grimm was enough to stop her from fully enjoying the moment as the Grimm lunged at the two
Only to be blasted away by two magic Blasts.
Pyrrha looked behind her and saw Oscar holding out The King's Scepter and Penny holding out her hands both Seriously angry looks on their faces.
"Get him to safety!" Ren yelled
"Come on for the king!" A white fang member yelled as several others followed him as they sallied forth to keep the Grimm at bay as Pyrrha snapped herself out of her shock and remembered they were in a warzone. She grabbed Jaune and started to tug at him, dragging his body across the ground.
Fortunately it was just his ass and legs so no risk of infection.
Jaune was laid down on the ground as others went to look over him.
(End song)
In Salem's Cathedral Marko woke up
He was pinned to a metal table chained to it actually. He looked around and noticed he was hovering over a Grimm pool.
Marko groaned "oh fuc-!" He was cut off as the table plunged under the pool.
Marko came out completely drenched in Grimm sludge
He roared in anger and grabbed his head
He felt all of them
Every creature of Grimm.
From every Beowolf. To the smallest creep.
Even the massive Monstra
And they felt him…
No, they became a part of him.
Marko stood up and roared as more Grimm jumped out of pools at a faster rate.
These ones had more impressive Arm muscles.
These Grimm had all of Marko's enhancements.
The Grimm roared at there new master
As a large Nevermore flew down and landed on his arm he pet it.
"Yes my friend it's time…stretch your wings…I want atlas to Fear us." He hissed
The Nevermore screeched as it flew off into the distance…
Marko turned around and found the Maw of the Wyverns that survived Ruby's Silver eyes blast and climbed into its maw.
He'd need to find a new base now with Salems island revealed it's only a matter of time before the entire island is destroyed or at worse completely democacated
Meaning no Grimm would spawn here.
He'd have to find a new place for him to start his new Legions…
Marko: The king's Grimm, will wreak havoc upon Remnant.
Marko tapped his mount as the dragon flew off into the sky
He was suprised he got past the fucking massive air blockade. But he did
That was the hard part over… Now he just had to find a place for him to sit down for a while for him to finish leading the battle.
The age of Salem is over…
Marko was the lord of Grimm now.
There right before him was a teardrop shaped island that is where he'd be.
Marko set the beast down as he crawled out of the maw he pet his new firend as the dragon Curled up next to him and around him as it slept.
Marko used this time to meditate on the Grimm to actively take overall command of the battle either by one Grimm at a time or by marching them as armies.
This battle was just getting started…
Salem Vs RWBY.
At the balcony Salem was getting angry she was unable to fight both Ruby and Guts at the same time.
Not without going all out which would leave her vulnerable to the other's should they choose to join in.
Salem heard a Scream as she looked
And saw the two other Grimmen dead
And she knew the third had fallen as well
Salem was on her own.
She grit her teeth.
Then she felt it.
Marko was alive…he was one…
So Salem decided that now…it was time.
She gave Marko full control over the Grimm
As she went to war with team RWBY.
Salem snapped her fingers and two Raven black wings were on her back.
Yang groaned
"Ugh please your daughter did it so much better than you!" She taunted
Salem was not amused as she blasted Yang with a blast of condensed magic before she flew away from Guts retaliation with Dragonslayer.
Ruby huffed apparently there was no getting out of it if they were to survive this battle they would have to use there Full strength."
"Team Rwby! restraints Lifted!" Ruby barked.
Suddenly each girl flexed their muscles and each one of them had a piece of their armor fly off.
For Ruby it was her choker.
For Weiss it was her Hair pin.
For Blake it was that purple Brace on her arm.
For Yang it was the Black metal cuffs
Each and every one of them went flying off at the distance
As each girls rolled there muscles as if they woke up from a long car ride.
And then they activated there Auras
And the effects were instantaneous.
Weiss's hair fell away unbranded but with her Aura it floated on its own to hold itself up like tails resonating power.
She also made Half a million individual summons at once with a simple flick of the wrist.
For Blake immediately after the cuff was gone she started to turn her body out of the elements of Dust. Like Hazel but more extreme. Her eyes were made of cut lighting dust gems, her bow made of gravity, her left arm Fire dust, her right Earth dust, Her legs were made of ice dust. She was like an elemental golem but she wasn't a clone.
Yangs was the most showy. As before her Aura when repressed was the size of a bonfire.
Now when it was unleashed it took it up to a 100 degree Summer…
On the ENTIRE island.
And Ruby well let's just say that even in Vale…people could smell the faint whiff of Roses in the Air…
This was, team RWBY unleashed.
The team didn't need to say anything as they all charged at Salem at once.
Salem growled as she ducked weaved and parried all the strikes
Even then she was stuck over 100 times by that damn scythe.
On the battlefield Jaune laid down in the back trying to catch his breath.
When he heard the most gruesome scream of panic from a huntsman "have the Grimm gotten tougher?" Hearing This he sat up despite the insistence of Pyrrha to sit down.
Jaune pushed himself forward and ran to look at the front
And indeed it was clear that the Grimm have changed.
While some were normal many had different larger bone structures
You could call them enhanced.
Marko…
Jaune clenched his fist. Trying to take control his breathing…this battle just got a lot harder
Then he heard screams from the other side of the line…
Coming from the enemy.
"Hey, why did you do that for?!"
Jaune looked to see a separatists bending down over a friend who had been slashed by a Beowolf
The Grimm snarled looking as if it was about to eat him.
The man seeing this and slowly dawning on him that he was going to be eaten as well he started to scream.
The Beowolf lunged
Only to be cut In Half
"Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled
"Get word to Ironwood we need help!" A voice yelled in front of the two Separatists.
(Play song: the Christmas truce: by Sabaton)
Standing before the two troops as they looked up at him stunned like a soldier from heaven.
It Was Jaune…
The leader of the alliance who, not five minutes ago, was looking to kill him.
Had just saved him.
Standing as a bulwark between the Grimm and the Human Separatists.
There was pure silence as everyone was stunned by the action of Jaune.
He looked back at the two.
"Head back to our lines, we'll protect you…" Jaune said
The two were stunned but then they ran
And as promised no one fired upon them
And his voice sung across the battlefield.
"We have a common enemy FIGHT THE GRIMM FOR OUR SURVIVAL!" Jaune yelled
The separatist all made a beeline for the Alliance lines as they ran past Jaune the Grimm tried to follow.
But Jaune cut them down.
And from that More huntsman followed following the courageous actions of there king.
Once the Separatists got to there lines and regrouped they rallied themselves and joined the frey against the Grimm.
Today they were brother,
Then they were friends,
From a moment of peace in a war that never ends,
to a lasting alliance that will unify Remnant for all time.
As the different Groups sung war songs to motivate each other to fight the Separatist sang their own
On the island Marko was livid. He hasn't ordered that Grimm to attack and now because of that his oldest allies had betrayed him.
On the battlefield the Separatists took a deep breath.
Marko was the driving force behind there movement, and with his death it shattered them.
But now they had a new leader, in Jaune.
With Marko they were the backbone of the army but they were expendable to him.
However with Jaune, they weren't soldiers, they were subjects…and he treated and protected them as such.
As they looked to see how many of there old firends had died, before they knew exactly what they were fighting for.
It steeled their motivation to fight for Jaune that much more.
There was a mighty roar as the Second in command of the Separatists Marko's old friend Anzio Steel roared and drew his knife charging at the Grimm and saved Jaune from a lunging Beowolf.
And from then on the rest of the Separatists movement changed. Instead of being freedom fighters against Atlas tyranny. Or terrorists who did terrible things for a good reason,
Now if you asked them they were brothers in arms.
The defenders of the Crown. Jaune Arc's personal army and Holy battle guard.
As they charged against the ever determined Grimm the Holy battle knights stood in protection of Jaune. As As he spiked his Sword into the ground and activated his Semblance to try to counter the new boosted Grimm. For his Allie's nearby him.
The second wave of the general offensive charged past them to help.
However the grimm were vigilant against Jaune as they almost single handedly ignored everyone else except for him.
As some of the larger Grimm a bigger Ursa Pyrrha was in the air falling upon the Grimm and killed it easily.
"Jaune what your doing is stupid your already hurt stop this!" She pleaded.
"No…I will not abandon my friends." He said
Pyrrha smiled warmly, Damn it this is why she loved him.
As the two stood side by side as the Grimm charged forward again.
The Battle guard stood vigilant against the Grimm as well knowing they would easily get overpowered. They did it anyway.
(End Song)
They looked and noticed larger and larger variants of Grimm were starting to appear.
Not only that but they had coordination and many of them in groups that covered the other's weaknesses…
These weren't Grimm just solely for destruction.
These were being controlled and had objectives to accomplish.
Someone with military experience was controlling them.
For ground units On the first forward facing line l, the block that would most likely go into the melee first were the weakest of Grimm but dangerous in large numbers. Like Creeps, ,Sulfer fish in base form, although they definitely had enough to fuse into either a golem or at worst a wurm. And even some tentacle Grimm.
In the secondary line was most of the more heavy hitters like the Ursa, the mass of Beowolves, even a few seer's, but also Sabyr's, Imps, spider Grimm, Nightmare's and Geist's
The lines were set up so that They had Apathy scattered along the ranks to drain the will to fight from the huntsmen. protected by Beowolves, spider Grimm, and nightmares to cast illusions so the huntsmen can't actually tell where the actual apathy was while they get swarmed by the other Grimm defending them.
in the rear lines were Bengrels ready to throw smaller Grimm forward. To reach the combat faster.
But there were others too many of the larger Grimm types were in the rear as a sort of heavy hitters/emergency units
There were Several Large Deathstaker's, Goliaths and Megoliaths, even a few King Taijitu's even another goddamn Leviathan, Several large Centinel's and Blind worms we're seen burrowing down so that was something to look out for.
In the way back behind the lines a good ways away we're all the Grimm with ranged attacks like spitting acid and fire breath. So the Leviathan was there, fortunately it wasn't as large as the one that attacked Argus, Cenitaur's we're ready to provide Ranged fire to prevent Huntsman from getting too close and killing an Apathy,
Then there were the ones capable of flight.
Apparently when Atlas got air superiority they didn't actually find all the aviation Grimm as the Sky was black with different species of Grimm in the Air.
Griffons, Lancers, Manticore's, Sphinxes, Nevermore's, Ravengers, Razorwings, several Sea Fellong, Tempest's
There was even a Small Wyvern as well…
Apparently Ruby didn't kill them all. But this one was like tiny compared to the other Grimm.
However he was important
As this Grimm was carrying the Actual leader of the Grimm.
A hound…under full control of Marko.
Marko set up the battle lines to be most effective the "Center" being as described, it was thin but wide a full half mile in length. But only 3 lines deep so those with ranged attacks would be effective. It was actually the main infintry force. With the wings being as historians would call "Heavy Cavalry."
On the far right flank was a battalion worth of Boarbatusk they would provide Shock troopers should the lines stall they could crash into the line and break the stalemate. Of course that's if they're need them. With much of the Grimm force getting the Super Strength from Marko even a lone creep could break down a city wall now.
On the other side was the actual heavy cavalry. Made up entirely of Nuckelavee these were the actual ones who would ride in and smash if it was actually needed. Acting as a heavy lancer division.
This was the situation the alliance faced an overwhelming force.
"Order the attack." The Marko hound said
The Wyvern roared and lines started to advance.
(Play Song: To hell and Back: by Sabaton)
Jaune stood vigilant waiting for them
"You should get out of here." Anzio said to Jaune
However Jaune shook his head
"There are still people in battle I will not abandon them." He said
Anzio cursed at his new leaders stubbornness but he'd do his job. Even if he'd never been given any direct orders.
"We hold the Line! Make sure no Grimm reaches Jaune!" He yelled
"Sir yes sir!"
Anzio didn't want to admit it but he was scaired
But not of dying
Of failure…
He closed his eyes hoping to get a chance to clear his mind before battle
Instead a Bright, a white light, in the shape of man was there
"Gather your courage, your heart and strength, you'll rally together and win this fight."
Anzio opened his eyes that voice…it sounded like Marko but it wasn't, It couldn't be. Dead men will never come back.
The Grimm came near and Anzio lunged with a primal roar. As he struck with his knife and stabbed and stabbed and stabbed before going onto the next.
The rest of the Battle-guard charged after their leader as Jaune stood there vigilant. As the men around him trying with their slim chance to try to rack up as many kills as him.
They started to lay down fire on the fights
Anzio looked around as he jumped from one Grimm to the next
He looked back and found several of the previous Sepratists laying on the ground face down.
Anzio kept his eyes shut trying to not slow down; he didn't have time.
Anzio growled as he pushed his body farther to the limit.
He looked around and noticed the other lines where the Grimm had moved on from them creating a bulge. And where they walked others fell while fang and even some huntsmen laid dead.
While Jaune I the future would tell the tale of this as a sacrifice that he would have rather prevented he did admit that Anzio was a war hero and while he knew he could have ordered him to stop he decided not to.
There was a big chance he'd not listen…
Instead he'd honor him in death by naming the unit he founded in his honor.
Anzio's Battle brigade unofficial called The Battle-guard by the troops in it. As a monument to this exact battle.
Jaune watched as Anzio looked back with a smile.
'Keep yourself safe my king.' His eyes said
That was the last he saw of him as he dove headfirst into the horde…
(End song)
Jaune looked over and saw that they did there job. He raised his sword.
"Alright pull back! We have to regroup!" Jaune yelled
"Sir we can't, there are too many of them!" One of the battle guard said
Jaune grit his teeth he didn't know if he could raise his sword any more…his arm was going numb and he didn't want to admit it but his chest was getting cold.
Then a loud explosion was heard above him.
And the 30 fleet ships of the Atlas military.
Fleet ships meaning carriers. Holding the standard Atlas Cruisers on them
As they appeared ready for battle… and they dropped out the swarm of Manta's and Gunships.
The Manta's flew off to engage in the Air war above
As the Gunships flew down and made Strafing runs at the ground.
Dropping off Atlesian knight's, as well as Paladins and more. As they landed on the ground the Heavy war machines crunched on the soft dirt and blasted the Grimm horde
The ranged Grimm tried to blast the new forces either before they landed or before they mobilized.
A few were hit but they crashed down into the Grimm lines.
One of the heavy manta's which was carrying a lot of Ammo rounds for the troops was hit on the wing's knowing he couldn't land and not set off the explosives he changed course.
Right towards the biggest Grimm he saw.
The leviathan.
The massive Grimm tried to power up an attack but it was too slow as the blast struck the Ship slammed into the jaw and exploded
The Grimm fell to dust.
Other androids were looking at the ground spotting to see if they could find the Grimm trying to burrow under them
Eventually it got to the point where they would just shoot at the ground and pray they hit.
Then the the black array arrived above them doubling the Air Force and the amount of fighters
As Black array Sentinel Teams landed dropping from the sky and blasted the Grimm as well.
In the sky the large ships also started to bombard the Grimm ranks breaking there already thin numbers
In the first salvo alone more than half the total apathy were killed
It marked a major turning point as the rest of the alliance finally sallied out not caring about the acid spray or anything
Huntsman we're very much a melee type unit. Not because they hounded glory far from it.
It's just that it's not as viable to kill a Grimm with one bullet then it is with one cut. So having them repressed like this the entire time was something they hated.
They held bloodlust on there faces. They were going to slaughter the Grimm.
With Jaune the battle guard was eager to go after Anzio but they knew that it would be against his wishes so they held the line.
Again the Grimm surged forward trying to take out Jaune hoping with his death that the huntsman would falter.
Unfortunately for the Grimm 6 different explosions were heard in the sky
From the Flagship of the Black array itself the ATT Steel.
And 6 missles were falling towards the Grimm horde.
Wait those weren't missles…
They were
People!
*BOOM!*
A massive dust cloud covered the battlefield where they landed infront of the Battle guard
And while the battle guard couldn't see they could hear them. Shifting around
The sounds of automatic gunfire was heard and the dying of Grimm
Then it stopped
The battle guard looked at each other tense and raised there weapons ready to attack at anything that came through the Cloud
And they saw polarized Face plates under a hermetically sealed Helmet attached to Gen 1 Guardsmen Armor.
Blue team Had arrived.
The cloud cleared and the battle guard looked over the team of 6 Sentinel's 5 of which were standing before the battle guard…
The last one was stabbing and drawing his knife in and out of a Beowolf with all of its limbs broken.
The Grimm screamed each time.
One of the men in blue team who had more of a Golfball dome on his helmet winced
{"Brothers Greenhorn, just kill it already!"} He yelled getting uncomfortable at the fact the man was torturing the Grimm. Actually torturing it.
The man gruffed and sighed before he snapped the neck brutally while crushing the windpipe.
This made the man even more uncomfortable as he stepped towards him to stand in line.
The battle guard looked behind blue team
And found an open field.
They slaughtered every single Grimm there was there.
{"Sir more enemies on approach!"} A women
The leader nodded before looking at the battle guard
{"Get him out of here."} was the only thing he said before he walked away the others following.
( play song: The last stand: by Sabaton )
Jaune for his worth looked ready to collapse his legs were shaky. One of the battle guard seeing this lowered Jaune down
"Thank you thank you.. I just need a few minutes to get my breath back then we can go." He said
{"you might not have a few minutes Jaune."} a voice called from his scroll
It was from Ghost.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked talking to his wrist implanted scroll.
{"I'll show you myself."} he said as the image connected
Jaune gasped
It seemed all the big Grimm had left the back line.
And we're making a beeline right to him.
"S-son of a bitch." Jaune gasps
{"we'll try to give you as much time as you need but we can only do so much."}
Jaune nodded "I'll be up in a minute just let me stretch and I'll…be there." Jaune said with a groan. As he was helped up by one of his guard.
They started to hobble away from the line.
Unfortunately as they passed they had to get around the actual battle line of the two armies
Several of the Grimm had broken off to attack Jaune while he was walking there.
As the Battle guard stood in the way fighting tooth and nail.
There dying screams matched with the Grimms pained growls would forever echo in Jaunes head.
Jaune looked over and counter the heads of his guard now as the first wave was rebuffed It was at 1527.
Jaune groaned as he fell to his knees as his legs gave out.
At the worst time as the Grimm tried to charge at another wave.
They let out a Battle cry as more troops charged at the Grimm to rebuff then.
"For his grace, and the might of the lord!" The leader yelled as the others echoed back
"For our faith, and the way of the sword!" As the met the Grimm head on.
At this point many of the others joined in the fray knowing that if anymore attacked it would spell there death. Leaving jaune a guard of 42 they decide to take a different path to get back to there lines
As Jaune looked back to see the troops he left behind
He counted 189. Jaune looked saddened but one of the men next to him put a arm on his shoulder
"They're protecting the holy line." He said
Jaune nodded as they traveled again
Then they hit the actual battle line.
And with one deadly sallie charge they hit the back of the Grimm lines with force. As the some Grimm turned the act of surprise ruined they decided to push on past.
Almost dying to the last man as Jaune finally reached the end of the Grimm line and into the front of the melee of Huntsman and whitefang.
As Jaune was handed to Pyrrha, she held her boyfriend like he was both glass and as if it was the only thing keeping her alive.
As they both turned and ran to the back
Unfortunately a Beowolf clawed the back of her armor making her scream and nearly collapse but she pushed on. Until they were safe.
Only then did Pyrrha fall to her knees and let Darkness overtake her.
Salem Stood in front of team Rwby
These 5 were persistent.
She needed something to switch the tide.
Salem looked and saw the two fleets hanging above the sky. And her Flying Grimm were losing
Salem snarled she only had one chance.
She opened her hand and charged as much magic energy to the size of a basketball then she compressed it to as small as as a pea and repeated the action at least 7 more times.
Ruby watched this as she did she felt the Air start to grow heavy.
By the second time it was enough to kill them.
By the fifth it was enough to cause an earthquake to rock the island…
By the seventh it was enough to vaporize anything it hit…
And by Salem's glance Ruby knew exactly where it was aiming.
Right at the foot of the Army. Where Jaune was
If that compressed Magic blast went off all of what they did would be for nothing.
So Ruby made the Hardest decision in her life.
She dare not look back to see her team as they caught on to what she was about to do.
"Weiss." Ruby said
Weiss didn't even hesitate, she prepared to make single Glyphs then a complete Spherical dome around them.
Weiss looked at Ruby "good luck Ruby…"
Ruby didn't respond; she had her eyes closed but a lone tear leaked out.
Salem didn't bother to look as she cluched the orb and tossed it.
Which proved to be fatel
Weiss summoned the glyph to block the flight path of the orb
It bounced off..
And landed by Ruby's feet.
Salem noticed the orb and her eyes went wide.
"No…" she gasped and met Ruby's eyes
She gave off a sad smile as she vanished into rose petals…
And the orb went off.
The explosion was strong enough to destroy the Monstra The cathedral. And even some of the landscape.
(Play song: We should've been home by now. By meatloaf.)
Jaune laid on the ground exhausted. He looked over to see Pyrrha hovering between life and death…
He looked up to the sky to see in horror…
The stars were going out…
Pyrrha groaned as she came too
"Jaune?" She asked
"It's going to be ok." He said
Pyrrha smiled weakly "Team RWBY is late…they should be back by now…"
Jaune looked up "have fath." He said
"Jaune the sky is filled with Grimm. And…why is the It's gotten so dark somehow."
Pyrrha sighed "God I wish they were back." She said
Jaune just laid a hand on Pyrrha's for comfort.
Then he felt warm like a summer's day smelt something in the Air
Rose petals…
Jaune smiled
"Faith has a chance to answer the call." Jaune said
"And blind hope can fail others just as much as a sword." Pyrrha said drowsy.
"Jaune it's hopeless…admit it we've lost." Pyrrha said trying to hold back tears coming to grips with her mortality.
However Jaune shook his head.
"I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not." Jaune said
Jaune rubbed away Pyrrha's tears.
"I wish those tears were laugher." He said
"And I wish it was day." Pyrrha said
"We will get though this love." Jaune said
Pyrrha scoffed. "I'll believe that when I see it." She said clinically
"I will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm." Jaune said as he dragged his body over to Pyrrha to hold her to his chest.
Pyrrha let her eyes shut and then she saw a white angelic figure with long pure white hair
Pyrrha opened her eyes a new outlook on life.
"No matter if the sun doesn't shine again. Jaune remember. My life began with you."
Jaune chuckled
"I know this love's forever." He said as he leaned down and kissed her on the lips
"That's all that matters now, No matter what." Jaune said as he pulled away.
Pyrrha smiled softly at Jaune; she felt at peace. And warm.
Unknown to her Jaune had been using his semblance to heal Pyrrha's back.
Suddenly a loud sonic boom was heard as the explosion went off…
As the flash faded the extent of the damage was revealed to show the Monstra was dead…
No one could survive a blast like that…
They both looked up to the sky…
The stars were still out. Even the Sun…
It was getting colder…
So colder without the sun's heat.
"There's gonna be danger." Pyrrha said
"I wish they were back" Jaune said
"They should have been here by now." Both said at the time.
(End song)
(Start song: Alive by Meatloaf:)
At the crater of what use to be Salems manor Ruby was on her hands and knees dragging her body forward
'I'm still alive, it must have been a miracle,' she thought as she looked over to see if anyone else had made it like her…
She didn't see anyone.
At least not anyone moving.
Ruby sat on her knees thinking about how she got out of the blast explosion. By using her semblance to avoid the attack but just barely
Her aura was shattered
Her ears rung, and everything hurt.
Ruby looked forward to Hear Salem laughing.
"Finally my plan has worked, no restraints, no Ozma to stop me, not even the gods, I got away with it all and I'm still alive. Let the end of the world come, I'll be the last bitch standing on the ground."
However Ruby pushed herself up growling out.
"As long as hot blood runs through my veins I'll stop you!"
Salem growled at the audacity that Ruby would survive.
Ruby grit her teeth and vanished charging at Salem
Salem and Ruby clashed before breaking off and charging again looking like black and red Blurs slamming into each other over and over again.
As she swung Ruby through her team, possibly watching her from above battle Salem alone.
As they fought on a plateau that was overlooking the Grimm pools.
Where they fought last time
Salem looked behind her to see her foot on the cliff she looked back and snapped a Magic blast at Ruby
However Ruby swatted it away with Crescent Rose then vanished appearing before Salem she was pissed
She had to kill her sisters, friend and teammates to finish this bitch and this bitch won't die!
Salem grit her teeth as she grunted under the pressure of the unrelenting attack of Ruby.
Ruby grit her teeth as she put her semblance into an attack which Salem parried and sent her away only to have to block another attack from Ruby before she could even breath.
Ruby growled and put all her efforts into these last several attacks as she swung and caused several earthquakes. And Dust covers her, hiding her presence.
Ruby painted trying to catch her breath back
As the Dust cleared
She felt…warmth
Ruby looked back
And saw Yang standing as she punched her fists together and activated her semblance as Summer heat poured off her.
Then a Glowing white metal hand appeared.
Pulling Weiss upward as well. And stood by Yang.
Ruby felt tears in her eyes of pure joy
Then an angry roar made all 4 look over
To see Guts with the Berserker Armor activated and came over to the others. As he deactivated the armor unharmed.
"Has anyone seen Blake?" Ruby asked
They looked over and saw Blake's body laying on the ground…Still
All three hung their heads in a moment of silence for their fallen teammate before they got a determined look In their eyes to avenge their fallen teammates
Then at the same time all of them charged at Salem at the same time Going all out.
Salem just barely dodged a swing from Ruby
But she didn't dodge Yangs punch.
Or Weiss's grapple and pinning her down with a glyph.
However Salem was able to shatter it easily.
Salem punched Weiss again, sending her away.
Yang looks around trying to find Blake's corpse so she can use her weapon to bind Salem.
Only to find it was no longer there.
Yang looked around and found that Blake was standing on a rock, her ribbon billowing in the air?
"Blake!" Yang screamed
Everyone looked over to see her standing alone.
As Blake looked at the battle and then jumped down to join the fight.
As the team sallied forward one more time to clash at Salem.
Blake Wrapped her Ribbon around Salem's neck forcing her to her knees as Weiss used a gravity glyph to keep her down as Yang helped Blake pin the witch down. While Guts used the dragonslayer against her neck.
As Salem struggled she looked up and Saw Ruby rush forward and drive Crescent Rose into her Stomach and come out the other side.
They stood there frozen for a solid 2 seconds
Before Salem went limp falling forward and died.
(End song)
With that her sacrifice was nullified because of her death the stars came back in the sky.
Ruby sighed and Pulled Crescent Rose out of her chest.
Suddenly
Salem Gasped as she came back to life she threw the team off of them as they landed on the ground Salem stood over them.
Suddenly the sound of a portal opened and Salem looked up to see The Godhand hovered in the air.
In Between the 4 of them stood the Brother Gods.
"Salem!" Void boomed
Salem looked up "Void I see you were successful."
"Yes…but you still couldn't fight off 4 girls." Conrad taunted
"They are tougher than they look!"
"It doesn't matter we have what we need." Void said
"Then free me and let's get out of here." Salem said
The now 6 Godhand looked at Salem
"No." Void said
Salem was stunned.
"W-what?" Salem asked
"You think we don't know." Ubik said
"Your volitile, quick to anger, short sighted." Slan said
"Your not worthy of being apart of the Godhand." Void said
"You were just a puppet…" The God of darkness said having the same normal look as before but his eyes were bleeding as was his brothers. Showing they had infact become Godhand members themselves.
"And you played your part well…" The God of Light said impassively
"Goodby Salem." Void said as they left through a portal and vanished
Both Salem and Team Rwby were stunned…looking at the empty sky
This couldn't be real.
After all that effort.
All that planning, coordination.
All for nothing.
They lost.
(Eoc)
