It's all Falling Apart


The Grimm were running through Vale and General Ironwood was issuing commands from his transmitter.

"What do you mean a ship has been taken over?" Ironwood asked angrily. "It seems that the central unit control ship was breached by Roman Torchwick and is now under his control. The rest of the fleet is taking heavy damage."

Ironwood shook his head, "I'll be on my way, make sure that there aren't more casualties."

Ironwood saw unfamiliar bullheads, the entry ramps opened and out came multiple Grimm. "I don't have time.."

Out of nowhere the Huntsmen-in-training who came out from the arena, started fighting with these Grimm. "Students..."

Ironwood saw that the students who were also previously running, Beacon students and others alike started taking up arms and fighting back with creative uses of their semblance. Ironwood looked back and saw a student of Shade Academy raising hes hand while her eyes glowed with aura.

Jaune was behind him with the other Beacon students like Pyrrha and Ruby. "Nice going, Cecily. Good thing you're semblance is what it is" Jaune smiled.

Cecily herself smiled "Thanks, it really isn't useful in a people fight though" Jaune looked over at the General.

"General Ironwood, pleasure to meet you" Jaune smiled as he shot a Grimm with his repeaters without looking.

Ironwood looked at him and sighed "You must be Jaune Arc, yes?"

Jaune nodded, "Yes sir, heard my name from the fights?"

"Yes anyway, it seems you students have to get to safety..."

"We don't want to stay where its safe, we can help" Ruby said behind Jaune.

"Even if by a small margin, we can help push the Grimm and White Fang back" She said clutching Crescent Rose.

Ironwood looked at the group of teenagers in front of him and around him. The Grimm which were there before, were eradicated. "Hm, it seems you students are quite capable. However, remember that this isn't a lesson anymore. We won't blame you if you run."

Ironwood was about to enter one of the bullheads as Pyrrha said "We won't"

"Then head to Vale, you have a city to defend" Ironwood said as he headed over to Roman Torchwick's location.


The students made it to Beacon, to see many White Fang members and Grimm. Sun looked and saw that Blake was fighting them off "Blake!" he shouted as he ran to help.

Sun and Blake fought back to back, working together as they did at the docks and took out the group of goons with ease. Sun separated from her to help the others with the robots while Blake went off to look for more White Fang.

The rest of the group went to kill off any Grimm they could find. The Atlesian bots were doing their job right and shooting the Grimm. Ruby called Yang with her scroll.

"Ruby? Where are you?" Yang asked with worry

Ruby replied "Near the courtyard by the docks, head over. We need all the help we can get."

Yang gave an affirmative "On my way" she said.

Ruby began fighting the Grimm along with everyone else. Until the robots lights turned red. They looked towards the students, "Ruby?" Weiss asked as she got to Ruby's side.

"Weiss, those robots are with us right?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are they pointing-" Ruby didn't have time to finish as the bots started shooting at the students.

"Get down!" Jaune shouted as he cut off the head of the first three robots.

Jaune saw Pyrrha running toward Beacon. Jaune looked over to Weiss "We can take care of the Paladins"

Jaune nodded and looked to Pyrrha.

"Pyrrha where are you going?" Jaune asked

"Professor Ozpin's tower, I have... something to talk to him about " Pyrrha said as she started moving again.

"I'll go with, we have to get rid of Grimm somehow."

Jaune and Pyrrha's running was cut off when they saw Ozpin by the door. "Professor" Pyrrha started.

"Follow me" Ozpin said as he led them into the tower and into the basement of said tower. The tower's basement was dark with a long hallway.

"I didn't know this place had a basement" Jaune noted while he had his broadsword out. "In that case it is good, this is hidden from normal students. Miss Nikos get into the pod"

Jaune's face went from slightly secure to stone cold as he saw a woman on the other pod with what looked to be a deadly wound "What..."

"We don't have much time" Ozpin stated as Pyrrha got into the pod.

Ozpin was entering something into what looked to be a console. "Not so fast" a feminine familiar voice said with a clacking of heels.

Cinder Fall was there by herself. "You're out of luck" she said as she shot the pod with the injured girl.

Suddenly the orange light from her faded and moved to Cinder. "I feel... power..." She said as she laughed maniacally.

Jaune clicked his tongue and swapped his broadsword into repeaters and shot at thrice Cinder thrice. To Cinder's surprise it did some damage, not all of the Aether infused bullets were stopped.

She used her power to push Jaune into a wall. "Ack" Jaune grunted as he slammed into said wall and made a dent in it.

"Shit, Arc and miss Nikos. Get out of here, you'll only get in the way"

For what seems like the only time Ozpin has ever swore, Jaune took it very seriously.

"Okay, Pyrrha let's go" Jaune said as Pyrrha nodded and ran with Jaune to the outside.

"Hm, a worthy opponent?" Cinder questioned while looking at Ozpin as she let the Maiden's aura flow around her body.

"Quite it seems, may our battle be legendary" Ozpin joked as he activated what seemed to be his semblance.


Jaune and Pyrrha got out of the building as a massive explosion of light emitted from it. Jaune then looked and saw a dragon heading their way. "No fucking way" he swore.

Jaune looked at Pyrrha "Pyrrha let's go" he said.

Pyrrha was quite saddened but nodded "Yes"

Jaune then proceeded to pushing her into a locker, She has polarity, but please don't open the thing.

"Jaune?" Pyrrha asked as Jaune quickly typed in coordinates of Beacon's docks.

"I'm sorry Pyrrha, I gotta do this" Jaune said as he launched the locker toward the docks.

Pyrrha shouted "Jaune!" as the door started prying open, but it was too late. She was already in the air, she knew Jaune could die and she was in a locker, flying toward the docks.

"Damn it" she said as she slammed the door with her fist with tears in her eyes. "What should I do..." Pyrrha asked herself.

The locker landed and Pyrrha opened it to see Ruby, Weiss and other students ranging from Sun and Neptune to people she didn't even know.

"Pyrrha! You're okay! Where's Jaune?" Ruby said as she went over to wrap her hands around her.

"Hello Ruby, Jaune is..." she said as tears streamed down.

"Did Jaune-?" Weiss asked while covering her mouth.

"He went to the tower to face Cinder, alone" Pyrrha said.

"No..." Ruby said as she rushed toward the tower.

"Ruby I'll come with you!" Pyrrha shouted, Ruby turned around "Weiss, take Sun and Neptune find Yang and Blake and help them please"

"You got it" Weiss said as she looked over at the two boys who nodded. The rest of the students continued fighting off Grimm and robots.


"Adam?" Blake asked as she entered the burning Beacon Cafeteria. "Hello, my love" Adam said as he pulled his sword out of an Atlesian soldier with a slick and wet sound.

"Why-" She asked

"Why? It's for the revolution my love, can't you see? Faunus are supposed to rule over these humans" he said as he stepped on a human student, "I'll send a warning" He started as he was about to stab the man.

Blake dashed toward him with her sword and they locked blades "Get out!" Blake shouted to the boy, who screamed and ran.

"Why do you try to stop us, my love. You used to understand! This could've been our day" He shouted as he threw her sword to the side and kicked her down. He pointed his blood red katana at her face "I'll let you suffer through the punishment of betrayal" he said as he slashed down.

Blake quickly blocked "I never wanted this, I wanted equality. PEACE ADAM!" She shouted as she blocked another strike from his blade. "What you want, is IMPOSSIBLE!" he said as he followed through with a barrage of slashes and cuts. Making Blake's aura deplete little by little.

Blake was to say the least, outclassed. She tried to strike at an opening, Adam however blocked and slashed. What's worse is that every time Adam blocked an attack, his counterattack would be even stronger. Blake was knocked into the ground.

"How does it feel, my love. Completely and utterly defeated, this is what I felt when you left. Blake I felt betrayed" he said with a hint of sadness.

"You've gone mad Adam. I have no intention of going back" Blake said as she stood up once more.

"Then so be it" Adam went into position and was about to use the residual force he had to completely break through Blake's guard and aura.

However as he was slashing, something got in the way. It was Sun's staff "Blake are you alright?" Sun asked.

"Sun!" she shouted with slight relief.

"Who are you?" Adam asked, disgusted.

"Look man, I don't care if you're Blake's psychotic ex but listen here. If you wanna hurt her, you gotta go through me" Sun said.

"Sun?" Weiss shouted as she saw Blake and Sun fighting against Adam, "Taurus!"

"Ah a Schnee, glad to see I'll be able to hit two birds with one stone" Adam said smiling. Weiss and Neptune got into a fighting stance.

Adam smirked "I'll take you all on!" Sun charged at Adam with a heavy overhead strike. Adam blocked and kicked him away, he then shot at Neptune who was getting too close for comfort and kicked Weiss as she was closing in on him.

He then rushed the dazed Sun knocking him into a wall, sending him outside. Weiss was already up and dashed toward Adam. She tried to stab Adam but only ripped his shirt.

"Ah, that was close Schnee." Adam said

Weiss smirked "No I think it was just right" and red explosive fire dust erupted from the tip sending Adam flying. Adam absorbed the impact with his blade but he was hurt.

"Didn't quite expect that but..." He absorbed a shot from Neptune and when Neptune was about to charge shot him with his shotgun scabbard.

Neptune was sent into a table which broke. Blake stood up and fought Adam one versus one. "Don't hurt them!" she shouted as she threw cut after cut.

"Is this all you've got?" Adam asked while blocking every attack. "It isn't" suddenly Adam was sent flying as Yang punched the side of his face in.

Her eyes were glowing red. Weiss, Sun and Neptune were getting up as well. Blake looked over to Yang "Thanks for the save"

"No problem partner, we got a bull to tango with" Yang slammed her fists together.

"Bringing one more into the fray won't change anything Blake" Adam got up from the rubble.

Without missing a beat Sun's clones rushed forward along with Sun himself. Adam cut both clones and was locked in combat with Sun.

"Nep!" Sun shouted and jumped back as Neptune slashed down with his lazer guan dao.

Adam blocked it though, only to get stabbed in the side by Weiss with her speed glyphs.

Adam shouted and slashed in a circle around him, sending out a shockwave of red aura.

The four were sent back "Again-" Adam coughed "It makes no diff-" Yang ran up to him and socked him in the face.

"Weiss!" Blake shouted, Weiss nodded and did covered the place with fog as she used fire dust and ice dust.

"Show yourselves!" Adam shouted.

"Yeah, I kinda can't see as well!"

"Me too!" Neptune and Sun shouted as they ran the opposite direction.

Blake appeared behind Adam, who reacted quickly. Only to find out that it was a clone and the real Blake was behind him.

He turned to block the slash, only to get hit from behind by a stab of Weiss' rapier. He turned again to an uppercut by Yang, which was so strong he was sent up to the air.

"What-" Adam didn't even have time to finish saying anything as Blake was already in the air and sliced him three times sending him up even higher.

He could feel his aura getting depleted, Then Weiss thrust her rapier to send him higher. He then thought it was over until Yang looked down on him, smirking.

"Game over!" She shouted as she punched him down with her semblance enhanced fist. Sending him plummeting into the earth. As he was falling, Neptune hit him down once more. And lastly as he landed Sun slammed his staff down on Adam.

"That's what you get for hurting Blake!" He shouted.

Adam was unconscious on the ground, mask broken and shirt in tatters. "I'll get him detained" Neptune said as he left with Sun.

"Let's help the others now" Weiss said, remembering the others who were fighting robots and Grimm.

Yang and Blake nodded "Let's go then"

The three ran back to the main Beacon docks.
