Alright, now I know I said I was going to do the next chapter with a Volume 4 plotline, but then a plot bunny popped into my head, and wouldn't let go. So, I went back to the Volume 3 ending and wondered: what would happen if everyone who fought the Dominators (sans Sara and Diggle*) were present at the battle?

So, this includes the Flash, Supergirl, Green Arrow, Firestorm, ATOM, Vixen, Citizen Steel, and Heat Wave all present for the Fall of Beacon, the darkest moment in RWBY so far... suffice to say, this is going to be fun.

*Just to be clear, I have no problems with White Canary or Spartan as characters. The reason I took them out was that I don't think they'd be able to contribute all that much against the inhabitants of Remnant. Hell, I was pretty hesitant on even adding Oliver and Rory into this at all.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, Flash, Supergirl, Arrow or Legends of Tomorrow.


It was the beginning of the end. Beacon was under assault as hordes of Grimm rampaged throughout the city, spreading panic as they went. The White Fang was leading the attack against Beacon academy, using the chaos to their advantage as they raided the city and ground unchecked.

To make matters worse, Atlas' military had been compromised; all their robotic troops were turning against them, targeting the very civilians they were supposed to protect. It was Vale's darkest hour.

In the academy grounds, a monstrous horde of Grimm was heading to the tower. But standing in the courtyard, having just emerged from a breach to their own world, were a group unlike any others on Remnant. And they did not plan on letting this attack go unchallenged.

Flash, Green Arrow, Vixen, Citizen Steel, and Heat Wave stood on the ground, while Supergirl, Firestorm and ATOM hovered just over them. Nate's skin turned chrome, while Amaya became surrounded by the glowing blue aura of a gorilla. The two co-leaders, Flash and Green Arrow, looked towards each other.

"Are you ready?" Oliver asked. Barry tilted his head for a moment and looked toward the battle. Lightning danced in his eyes.

"Let's do this."

Unsurprisingly, Barry was the first to move, vanishing in the blink of an eye, the only thing marking his passing was a streak of yellow lightning plowing through the forces of the Grimm. The rest followed as fast as they were able, the ones with ranged powers or weapons firing as they moved.

Soon, they had made it to the main courtyard, where the students and teams from the festival were fighting for their lives against the oncoming attack. With plenty of targets to choose from, the superheroes moved in to aid them.

Rory's flamethrower burned through several Beowolves, while Amaya wrestled a Boarbatusk head on. Nate charged an Ursa, punching the creature in the stomach so hard that it collapsed immediately. An explosive arrow blew off the head of a Creep, then Oliver shot another arrow into the head of a Beowolf.

While the ground based heroes alleviated the pressure of the Grimm, the flying superheroes flew in to assist the teenagers against the rogue Atlesian Paladins. The robotic war machines were proving to be a difficult fight for teams CFVY, SSSN, and all their allies, right until Kara, Ray and Jax/Stein joined in.

ATOM's ion blasters fired as he tore into the Paladins, occasionally shrinking down and tearing through the military machines from the inside. Firestorm's flames wreaked havoc on their systems, and several of their components were turned into water or rust.

Supergirl's heat vision bore through them with little effort, and several ruined robots marked where Barry had stopped to dismantle them in the span of a second. The speedster hadn't stuck around, having already seen that the city proper needed help with civilian evacuation.

"Um, who are you guys?" Neptune asked. Several of the others pointed their weapons at the superheroes in surprise in confusion.

"Easy, we're here to help." Ray said, landing and putting his hands up in a placating gesture.

"They are." Mick said. "I'm just here to burn some stuff."

"Well, I suppose several extra sets of hands couldn't hurt." Coco said. "Though you all really need better outfits."

Before the superheroes could retort, roaring and screeching drew everyone's attention above. In the skies around the city, large amounts of aerial Grimm circled and dived into the town, attacking anyone in sight. Beyond them was the massive bulk of a Dragon, flying over the city. As it flew, globs of some strange black substance fell off its body, spawning Grimm wherever they landed.

"We need to take that thing out." Oliver shouted, gesturing to the massive flyer.

"I've got it." Supergirl said, before Oliver could reply, and flew away before any protests from the teens could reach her.

"Does she plan on taking that thing out herself?" Sun asked incredulously, terrified for her safety.

"Yep." Every one of the newcomers replied at once, completely unconcerned.

...

Supergirl easily made her way into the skies, burning any Griffons or Nevermores that got in her way with heat vision, and punching through any Grimm who managed to avoid that. Very soon, nothing was between her and the largest Grimm present.

At speed, Supergirl flew at the massive Dragon and slammed into it. To the shock of the natives of Remnant, the seemingly unstoppable Grimm had been struck a devastating blow as the dragon recoiled, screeching in pain. Kara didn't let up, pounding on the massive Grimm with everything she had, moving it away from the city.

The Dragon was now in trouble. Its sheer size and power had originally meant that it could fly through pretty much anything the humans could throw at it, especially with all the chaos that had gripped the city. Nothing would've been able to hurt it... until now, where one tiny creature easily matched it in pure physical power, an event that should've been completely impossible.

Grimm flyers attempted to protect the Dragon, but they easily fell to the strange woman, who often shot them with blue beams of energy that emerged from her eyes. This was a level of power unlike any had been seen on Remnant, and it was clear that this was no ordinary woman.

Outmatched, the Dragon was still smarter than most other Grimm, and did one thing it really did not want to do. It retreated, being hounded every step of the way by the Kryptonian. Little did the Grimm realize that it was playing right into Kara's hands. Beams of energy clipped its wings, sending the beast to the forest below.

Supergirl had deliberately drawn the Dragon away from the city, so when it came crashing down, it wouldn't be on top of any civilians. Landing in front of the Dragon, the massive beast roared at her, while dozens of lesser Grimm rushed towards her.

Kara simply cracked her knuckles.


On the deck of General Ironwood's ship, another fight was raging, this time between the young Huntress Ruby Rose, and the criminals Roman Torchwick and Neopolitan. While she was putting up a good effort, she was clearly outmatched, and an explosion from Torchwick's cane sent her flying to the ground, her scythe carving into the deck.

"Little Red, little red. You are just determined to be the hero." Roman mocked. "But this isn't a fight you can win."

Roman and Neo walked over to the struggling Ruby, who was groaning as she attempted to rise. Her Aura was low, and the two criminals clearly had the upper hand. At least until two fireballs exploded at their feet, sending them flying back.

Ruby looked up at her savior. He was rather young and oddly dressed, wearing a strange yellow and red bodysuit. He was hovering in the air, with fire in his hands keeping him afloat. His head was also on fire, and strangely, his eyes were a milky white.

"Let's see if we can change that." The new arrival stated.

Roman rose to his feet and fired at the flyer, who easily avoided the shots and flew towards Roman. Landing on the ground, the boy sent a fireball at Neo, which shattered an illusion of her. Surprised by that, Roman capitalized on the distraction and swung his cane at the flaming figure, landing a blow on his stomach.

Moving in for another attack, Roman blinked in shock as his cane suddenly dissolved into sand, slipping through his fingers. Firestorm wasted no time and punched the criminal in the face, sending him flying.

While he was distracted, Neo snuck up behind Firestorm, a razor sharp needle emerging from the tip of her umbrella. Ruby was about to shout a warning when Firestorm got one of his own, as the voice in his head alerted him to the sneak attack.

Spinning around, he sent a blast of flame into the criminal, sending Neo flying back towards Ruby. Acting quickly, the young Huntress hit the release catch on Neo's umbrella, causing her to be blown away by the high winds.

"Neo!" Roman screamed impotently.

Angered, he rushed towards Ruby, but without his cane, his offensive capabilities had been severely depleted. He was intercepted by Firestorm, who hit the criminal with another explosive blast, draining Torchwick's Aura and knocking him unconscious.

"Well, that was easy." The flaming boy muttered.

"Who are you?" Ruby questioned, retracting her scythe as she addressed her odd-looking savior.

"Call me Firestorm."

Their conversation was interrupted by the screeching of an approaching Griffon. One landed in front of them, standing at nearly 30 feet tall. Ruby pulled out her scythe, while Firestorm simply flared up.

Before the superhero could react, Ruby was already moving, slashing at the large Grimm faster than it could move. In no time at all, Ruby had managed to decapitate the beast, which took a lot of effort out of her, considering her heavy breathing.

"Ok, that was impressive." Suddenly, the ship started shuddering, as several more Griffons and Nevermores attacked the airship's engines. "And that's our cue to get off this thing."

Grabbing Ruby and Torchwick, Firestorm flew off the collapsing airship, dropping them off on Beacon's landing pad before taking to the skies again. Ruby and the nearby onlookers watched him with awe and growing confusion.


In the ruined Beacon cafeteria, Adam Taurus was just finishing his rather one-sided fight against his former partner, Blake Belladonna. She was on the ground, pleading and crying, a familiar situation to both of them.

She had hurt him when she abandoned him in the middle of the train heist. Now, he planned to ensure that she suffered, by destroying everything she had grown to care for at Beacon. But his plan for revenge was about to be thrown awry.

"You hurt me, Blake. Now I'll return the favor."

He raised his hand to slap her, when a massive impact on his back pitched him over Blake's prone body and into one of the cafeteria tables.

"That's no way to treat a lady."

Surprised, Adam rose to his feet, and turned around to see a man in a strange suit of blue and red armor. Acting quickly, the White Fang leader swung his sword, but the armored man vanished, shrinking down to a small size as he avoided the blow. Overcommited, Adam was hit in the stomach by a blast of blue energy that sent him flying past Blake who was stunned at the proceedings.

The Faunus rose to his feet and looked around for his attacker, turning just in time to be decked in the face by a full sized suit of armor. Snarling, Adam moved to strike him again, only to be knocked off his feet by another energy blast.

"Blake?" Ray turned in confusion at the unexpected voice, seeing a well-endowed girl with long blonde hair looking around outside the cafeteria.

This proved to be a mistake, as Adam used his distraction to his advantage, punching the back of Ray's head, hard. The ATOM crashed into the pillar, and hit the ground, lying motionless and drawing Yang's attention.

An explosion hit Adam, followed by a stream of extremely hot flame, which threw the White Fang leader back and damaged his clothing. Snarling, he rose to his feet, getting a good look at his latest attackers. One was clad in a strange green outfit, wearing a mask and hood to cover his face, he was holding a bow and arrow, one of which was currently aimed at him.

The other was obviously human, and compared to the outfits of the other two, didn't stand out as much. He was wearing plain brown pants and and a very dark green jacket, had lost his hair, and had a bit of a crazed look in his eyes. In his hand was a strange orange weapon, the source of the flames from earlier no doubt.

"Get on the ground." The green one ordered, his voice heavily distorted.

"Or else what?" Adam taunted.

"Or else I'll burn your skin off." The crazed one said, with a look that made it clear he would enjoy doing that.

Snarling, Adam charged the two of them, both of them barely leaping out of the way as his sword missed Green Arrow's head by mere centimeters. He was then bathed in flames, but only growled at the attempt to hurt him. Suddenly, he was sent flying by Yang's attack.

The blonde huntress in training had used Adam's distraction to her advantage, targeting him with her gauntlets while she was dealing with Oliver and Mick. Rushing forward, she noticed that her partner was on the ground. Oliver stood up and looked at her.

"Get her out of here." The hooded man ordered. Yang hesitated, then nodded and helped Blake up. The two of them sprinted away, leaving Green Arrow and Heat Wave to suffer Adam's angry wrath.

Adam was about to strike one last time, furious at these two humans for allowing his target to escape, when all of a sudden, he was struck in the back yet again, and fell towards the ground, only to find himself rising into the air as the ATOM grabbed a hold of him and flew higher into the sky.

"You can end this, right now." Ray said. "Just surrender."

In response, Adam struggled even more, managing to slam his elbow into the ATOM helmet. This proved to be a mistake, as the hero lost his grip on the White Fang leader, who plummeted to the ground and landed painfully, draining the last of his Aura.

Heat Wave walked up to the groaning White Fang leader, pointing his flamethrower. "I'm going to enjoy this."

"Mick." The pyro groaned at the disapproval in Ray's voice.

"Fine. I won't kill him."

While they argued, Adam struggled to get up and attack once more, but a sharp pain in his shoulder put that thought to bed. Oliver had put an arrow through him, one which wouldn't kill him, but it would leave him in a lot of pain.

"Stay down." Green Arrow ordered, much to the annoyance of the other two.

"Why does he get to have all the fun?" Mick complained.

Nevertheless, the White Fang leader still made an effort to get up, right up until Ray punched him in the face. With his Aura drained and his strength gone, he was knocked unconscious. Finally, Adam Taurus was out of the fight.


Mercury and Emerald stood on the roof of a building, watching as everything in Vale went to hell. Things had been going according to plan; the Grimm were in Vale, the White Fang had been on the assault, and Atlas' robots had been turned against them.

Now though, things were starting to unravel. A streak of yellow lightning was moving through the city streets at an inhuman speed, tearing through Grimm, dismantling Knights, and saving civilians from both in short order. Ever since the lightning had appeared, the casualty rate among the civilians had dropped to practically zero, as the streak removed everyone from the danger areas.

And that was only one aspect. They had seen what had happened to that massive Grimm. One individual in a red and blue outfit had done something that even the Atlesian military would be hard-pressed to do.

Roman and Neo weren't responding to any of their calls, they had seen Adam being dropped several stories by a man in a strange blue and red suit of armor, and the Atlesian robotic forces were all being shut down.

"I think it's safe to say that we should leave." Mercury stated. Emerald turned to him.

"We are not leaving Cinder alone." She jabbed her finger into his chest.

"I think you two might have bigger problems." Stunned, the thief and the assassin turned behind them, seeing a dark skinned woman in a strange black and brown jumpsuit, and a man in a ridiculously looking blue and red costume with a star on the chest and a mask over his face, walking towards them.

"We know you were responsible for what happened in the Coliseum ." The man stated. "We're taking you in." Mercury and Emerald looked at each other.

"You can try." Mercury said. The woman smiled.

"The hard way it is, then."

Amaya ran at Mercury, surrounded by the blue outline of a cheetah. Faster than he realized, she was on him, punching him hard in the face. He recoiled from the blow, backflipping to recover and kicking Vixen in the chest.

Staggering back, the aura of an elephant appeared around her, just in time for her to take Mercury's next attack with ease. Grabbing his foot, she started slamming him against the ground, her strength increased significantly as every blow left a noticeable indentation in the roof.

Meanwhile, Emerald unloaded her guns into Nate, but unsurprisingly, the rounds bounced off of his skin. Running forward, Steel bodyslammed into her, causing the thief to hit the ground and gasp in pain.

Nate, desiring to end this quickly, made a quick punch at Emerald's head, only to hit empty air. The image of the thief disappeared, and a pair of chains wrapped around his arms. Heaving with all her strength, Emerald pulled Nate and whipped him around, slamming him into an air conditioner unit.

An explosive from Mercury's boot went off, sending the superhero and young assassin flying in different directions. Amaya recovered first, and looked around to see how Nate was doing.

He had attempted to pull Emerald to him, but she had used the momentum to leap on his head and over the ruined air conditioner unit. Vixen tackled her before she hit the ground, crashing into a weak point on the roof and causing it to collapse.

Meanwhile, Mercury had recovered and was on the offensive, his kicks containing enough force to actually knock around Citizen Steel. Combine that with his firing boots, and Mercury couldn't keep the cocky grin off his face. This was way too easy.

His good cheer was interrupted when a chunk of the roof was hurled at him, and he backflipped and kicked it high in the air, destroying it with a single shot. Nate had used that distraction to close the distance, knocked him to the ground, and like Amaya, grabbed his leg, crushing one of the metallic limbs with ease. With his leg now crippled, Mercury gulped, knowing that he was in trouble.

Inside, Amaya was hunting Emerald, no easy task considering her semblance. With that in mind, the aura of a wolf appeared around her, heightening her senses to well beyond the norm. Her hearing and olfactory senses would allow her to determine what was an illusion and what wasn't.

Sure enough, the image of Emerald running between a pair of rooms appeared to her, but her heightened senses betrayed its falseness. Still, she rushed toward it, pretending to take the bait, all the while aware of the thief attempting to sneak behind her.

As soon as she reached the doorway, the image disappeared. The aura of a kangaroo surrounded her as she spun around and kicked Emerald hard in the chest as she moved in to attack.

Her weapons flew out of her hands, and Amaya was quick to capitalize on the advantage, unleashing the prowess of a black belt martial artist and the power of some of the most dangerous animals on Earth against Cinder's second in command.

By the time Vixen was finished and bringing Emerald's unconscious body up to the roof, Nate had already dealt with Mercury. Both of his legs were crippled and he was battered, bruised and unconscious. Then again, the mint-haired thief wasn't in much better condition.

"Do you think we were too hard on them?" Nate asked.

"They were party to causing this whole thing in the first place." Amaya replied. "They should be thankful they're still alive."

Before Nate could comment on her ruthlessness brought on by living on the frontlines of World War II, a loud noise and alarming sight brought their attention upwards. Their eyes widened at what they saw.

"Well, that's worrying." Nate said.


In the skies over Vale, Ironwood's airship had been badly damaged, thanks to the sabotage of Roman and Neo, and the constant attacks from the Griffons and Nevermores that surrounded it. Trailing fire, the ship descended towards the city, directly towards the residential area.

Until Kara flew underneath and lifted the ship, controlling its descent until she was standing on a rooftop, holding the weight of the military vessel. Onlookers couldn't contain their awe at the impossible feat they were witnessing. Looking around with her X-ray vision, Kara saw that there were dozens of people in the surrounding area, and she couldn't hold the airship up forever.

"Flash!"

"I'm on it!"

In seconds, every bystander in the crash zone was miles away, allowing Supergirl to set it down as gently as she could manage. As soon as she was done that, Barry appeared beside her.

"Nice one."

"Thanks." Kara said, before scanning the city with her x-ray vision. "Though we've still got more people in danger."

"And a whole bunch of those flying monsters." Barry pointed up.

"I'll deal with them." Kara said, taking off into the air. Barry chuckled and took off once more. While everyone else had been fighting in the Beacon courtyard or in the sky, he had been busy in the city proper, a job he was continuing right now.

Through the streets of Vale, the Flash ran, knocking down Grimm and shredding through the more humanoid robots before they even realized he was there. In between that, Barry was hard at work rescuing civilians and getting them to safe zones in the time it took to blink.

All any witnesses were seeing was a streak of lightning as it performed such heroic deeds, and people moved to safe zones were completely confused as to how they even got there, as the last thing they knew, it seemed that the Grimm would get them.

As he approached to help another heavily armed group, he saw that the robots they were fighting suddenly shut down. It appeared that whatever was controlling them had finally been overridden.

Further down the line, he came across one blonde boy dressed in armor. He was currently engaged against a dozen of the Grimm creatures, and was quickly being overwhelmed. Barry grabbed him and quickly brought him to the group he had just run past. The three arrivals pointed their weapons at him, to which Flash raised a placating hand.

"Hey, hey, I'm on your side." He was interrupted by the person he had just rescued.

"Professor Goodwitch? Thank the gods."

"Jaune?" The woman, Goodwitch was surprised to see him.

"Ozpin told me to get you. He needs help at Beacon tower."

"We need to get there right now." Qrow said, but Ironwood interrupted.

"I need to get to my ship." The cyborg general replied. "If I can coordinate my forces-"

"We've got bigger problems." Qrow snapped. "If Oz says we need to help him, then that's where we go."

"There's no time for this!" Jaune shouted, to everyone's surprise. "Pyrrha's in the Beacon tower. She's going up against the woman responsible for all of this on her own. You have to help her."

The Flash listened to this whole conversation, and then vanished in a streak of lightning, heading directly for the tower. Qrow, Glynda, Ironwood, and Jaune watched in a brief moment of surprise as the metahuman disappeared.


Cinder couldn't believe what was happening. Her plan was being torn apart by these costumed freaks, who had appeared out of nowhere and sabotaged all the efforts she had spent months working towards. Even the Dragon had been beaten by one of the costumed heroes singlehandedly. Salem would not be happy.

Still, the fact that she had been able to absorb the rest of the Fall Maiden's power was a silver lining, one which she relished with every breath. With all that energy coursing through her, there was a chance that she could turn the tide back in her favor.

Her musings were interrupted by the sound of the elevator screeching as it rose up to the office. Turning, she found the champion Pyrrha Nikos emerging from the broken elevator, using her semblance to summon her sword and shield into her hands. Cinder hovered in the air, her power growing around her. It was time to finish this.

...

"Guys, the woman responsible for this," Barry started, speaking into his earpiece. "She's in the tower."

"Ok, if we get her, we can end this." Oliver said. "We need to draw her out."

"I'm already on my way." Barry replied. "Someone's already fighting her, but they're going to be outmatched."

"I'll be right there." Kara said.

"So will I." Ray said. The rest of the team gave similar confirmations.

"Alright, I'll see you all there."

...

The fight had been fierce, but fairly brief. Cinder had to give credit where it was due; Pyrrha was an excellent fighter. Ozpin had chosen his champion well. Still, she was on her knees, an arrow having pierced her ankle. Now, it would be easy to finish her off. Drawing back her bow once more, she fired an arrow directly at Pyrrha's heart.

Even Salem couldn't have foreseen what would happen next.

Out of nowhere, a man in a strange red and yellow costume appeared right in front of her, holding the arrow that she had just fired in one hand. Blinking in surprise, she quickly created and fired another arrow, which the man caught with ease.

"That wasn't very nice." The Flash said.

Before Cinder could react, the speedster was all around her in the blink of an eye, rapid fire punches hitting the new Fall Maiden and slowly drained her Aura. Any attempt by Cinder to strike back was avoided with ease, until she retaliated by unleashing an explosive blast around herself, sending Barry flying. The speedster recovered quickly, disappearing into lightning as he ran around the edges of the circular room.

The yellow lightning spun around the room, when all of a sudden, Cinder was struck by the lightning as the speedster came to a halt, sending her crashing into the remains of Ozpin's desk.

In response, she summoned shards of ice and hurled them towards the two warriors, only for the woman responsible for beating the dragon to fly in and get in the way, absorbing the lethal shards like they were nothing more than harmless snowballs.

"You mind if I cut in?" Kara asked, looking towards Barry.

"She's all yours." The Flash replied, and vanished with Pyrrha in tow.

Cinder eyes began glowing with flame as she unleashed the full scale of her new powers at this newcomer. The energy she had in her possession had killed Ozpin, so even this woman wouldn't be much of a challenge. That was what Cinder had thought, right up until the point where she was sent flying through the window.

The Fall Maiden was able to use her abilities to slow her descent, hovering a fair distance away from the ground. Until she was struck by the explosive blasts of Firestorm, who unleashed flames against Cinder, throwing her off balance.

Her landing wasn't the softest, but she landed safely, and retaliated with a windstorm against the nuclear superhero. Firestorm was sent flying by the power, spinning out of control as he struggled to regain his own balance.

She couldn't capitalize on that, as she was struck by a blue energy blast from below her, and was thrown into the air as a result. ATOM returned to normal size and fired off his ion blasters again, striking Cinder in the stomach.

She skidded as she was sent flying, ice appearing as she did so, which she immediately formed into ice shards and sent towards him. Ray countered by shrinking down and avoided the ice crystals, which were melted by a blast of flame from Heat Wave's flamethrower.

The pyromaniac turned the weapon against Cinder, but another gust of wind sent Mick flying. She was then struck by an arrow, which was absorbed by her Aura, allowing her to retaliate with her own arrows against Green Arrow.

Oliver leapt out of the way, but Cinder summoned a swarm of leaves, which she froze into razor sharp edges, and sent them towards the archer. But they were intercepted by Citizen Steel and shattered on his chrome skin. Nate grabbed a large chunk of debris and threw it at her, but Cinder incinerated it before it could reach her.

This was ultimately a distraction for Vixen, who slammed into Cinder's back with the force of a rampaging rhino. Turning her momentum into a roll, she sent a burst of fire and ice at Amaya, who narrowly avoided the blast.

A blast of energy struck Cinder's back, and she stumbled forward, her Aura levels becoming dangerously low. She realized that these arrivals were surrounding her now; Green Arrow, Heat Wave, Steel, Vixen, Firestorm and ATOM were all around her, their weapons leveled at her.

"Surrender." Oliver ordered. "It's over."

Cinder's response was to gather all her power and unleash a fiery shockwave, which sent all of them flying back. Her victory was short-lived, as Cinder was promptly speedblitzed by the Flash, sending her into the waiting fist of Supergirl.

The Kryptonian's punch finally broke her Aura and the new Fall Maiden fell to the ground unconscious. The superheroes surrounded her again, Oliver with his bow leveled, Mick with his flamethrower, and Ray with his ion blasters, but she was out cold.

It was over, the Battle of Beacon had ended. The superheroes turned to see as a crowd gathered around them. Teams RWBY, JNPR, SSSN, ABRN, FNKI, and more gathered, along with the Beacon faculty and other hunters, like Professors Port, Oobleck and Goodwitch, along with General Ironwood and Qrow Branwen.

"No need to thank us." Ray said.

"Is that... Cinder?" Weiss asked.

"You guys took her down?" Jaune was awestruck.

"You're welcome." Mick snarked.

"Ok, I gotta ask, just who the hell are you guys?"

"Well, we're..." Barry realized that they were probably asking for a name for the group of them. "The-uh..."

"Justice League?" Kara suggested. The response among the heroes was ...mixed. Flash, ATOM, Citizen Steel and Vixen seemed to like the name, while Green Arrow, Firestorm and Heat Wave didn't seem to be fond of it. But it was only the latter who said something.

"That's a stupid name." Mick deadpanned, then gestured to the rest of the group. "I'm not with them."

Suddenly, a blue white rift opened behind them, causing the superheroes to turn in surprise. The rest stepped back in shock and confusion, while the Flash spoke one word. "Cisco?" A voice emerged from the rift, sounding somewhat young and strained, as if he was exerting a lot of effort to hold onto something.

"Everyone get in!" The voice said. "I can't hold the breach open for much longer!"

The Flash responded by grabbing Green Arrow and Heat Wave, bringing them through the rift in a second. Everyone quickly followed as they ran, with Supergirl, Firestorm and ATOM flying through immediately, while the streak of lightning returned and grabbed Vixen and Steel in mid stride.

Immediately after the last of them were through, the breach closed, leaving a very confused crowd in its wake. Eventually, Ruby found her voice enough to speak the phrase they were all thinking in some form.

"Ok, what just happened?"


Damn, that was fun. It went a lot longer than I thought it would, especially compared to the last couple of chapters, but it was so worth it. I only wish I could've gotten it out in time for the Volume 4 finale, but better late than never.

Alright, that concludes this little snippet. Now, just to be clear, the next chapter will likely be focused more on Volume 4, and it'll be a rough continuation of the two previous chapters.

Still, I seriously hope everyone enjoyed this chapter as much as I did and reviews are always welcome.
