XenoBlaze:Well, this has been a long time coming.
Charlie:You've been working hard, huh Blaze?
XenoBlaze:You bet.
Astolfo:Its Time to Say Goodbye...to volume 2.
XenoBlaze:Hey! I was gonna say that!
Charlie:Besides, he's still got the bonus chapter after this one.
XenoBlaze:That's right. Thanks Charlie. Just for that, you get to do the disclaimer.
Charlie:Awesome!
Astolfo:What about me?!
XenoBlaze:That cute act won't work on me. You forget, Ruby's been in here. As for you, there's some people who want a word with you.
Astolfo:Who?
XenoBlaze:*Smirk* LADIES!
Astolfo:OH NO!
?:You are in so much trouble.
Charlie:XenoBlaze does not own RWBY, Asterisk War, the Fate series or anything else in this fic. All rights go to their rightful owners.

Escalation Arc Extella 12-Breach
-Vale-
Things were supposed to be simple. Find the White Fangs hideout, stop whatever plan Torchwick had in store and bring him and the White Fang to justice. But, for teams RWBY and HANT, nothing is ever simple. First Ruby gets captured. Then Torchwick decides to blow up a train to lead Grimm into the city. Sufficed to say, this has been a crappy start of the two teams huntress career.
Team RWBY and team HANT find themselves surrounded in the middle of the pavilion by Beowolves, Ursai, and a massive King Taijitu. The King Taijitu unleashes a mighty roar, signaling the Grimm to attack. Ruby plants Crescent Rose on the ground before kicking away the Grimm, Yang propels herself upwards, performing aerial bombardments with Ember Celica on the Grimm before three Giant Nevermores send her crashing to the ground. Blake slashes a Beowolf with Gambol Shroud before firing on the other approaching Grimm. Weiss slashes three Beowolves, before summoning a glyph to conjure up an ice blade.
While RWBY has their own battles to worry about, team HANT had theirs. Hakuno stabs a Creep before swinging around to chop off the head of a Beowolf. Nero uses her Rosa Ichthys to wipe out a bunch of Boarbatusks. She then jumps in the air to dodged a bunch of Beowovles swiping at her before she dives down with her sword. A blast of fire comes from the impact and incinerates the Grimm. Tamamo blows away a horde of Creeps with her Curse:Chaos Heaven. As the Grimm are lifted into the air by the tornado, Tamamo jumps into it as she sails upward, slashing the Grimm with her claws. Altera blocks a swipe from an Ursa before swinging her blade at the Grimms head. She turns around just in time for a horde of Beowolves to jump at her. She then uses her Surging Sword technique to eliminate the the Grimm in three strikes. The four saviors then regroup.
Altera:Their numbers are great,
Nero:Perhaps. But we have faced worst before.
Tamamo:This would be over in quickly if we used our Noble Phantasms.
Hakuno:Remember, those aren't to be used unless its an emergency. Things may look bad now...
Hakuno pauses as she feels a familiar presence. She then grins.
Hakuno:...but I have a feeling we're about to get some back up.
Yang, back on the ground, sends several cars flying towards the Grimm. As Ruby finishes slashing at a Grimm, she notices the King Taijitu ready for the attack. Until she also sees Nora Valkyrie flying on her Magnhild hammer towards the King Taijitu, slamming it on the head and killing the beast.
Nora:Nora Smash!
Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren soon follow.
Pyrrha:Let's move!
Jaune:Okay, who's first?
Jaune turns around to notice a giant Ursa standing behind him.
Jaune:Oh-oh-okay, you're first, huh? Okay, no, that's fine. Totally fine, done this before, done this before...
With a mighty scream, Jaune slashes the Ursa several times before it falls. Pyrrha smiles, as she notices his improvement. A few feet from the fallen Ursa, Sun, Neptune, Charlie and Astolfo arrive. The blonde faunus and his blue haired friend flash their badges, while the other two facepalm.
Sun:Nobody move! Junior detectives!
Neptune:We have badges so you know it's official!
Charlie and Astolfo bop their two friends on the head.
Astolfo:How about a little less posing and a little more fighting?!
Charlie and Astolfo unseathe their swords before charging into battle.
A fleet coming from the Atlesian Military, consisting of dropships deploying Atlesian Knight-200 units and the flagship of James Ironwood. Sun and Neptune react in awe of the fleet as Sun drops his badge to the floor. As Teams RWBY and HANT look up in the sky, an Ursa takes the opportunity to attack Ruby from behind. However, it is gunned down by a dropship's machine gun. As the robotic Knights deploy, they start gunning down the Grimm. Two of the Knights are stampeded on by a Boarbatusk, but a separate group of three Knights fire on an Ursa and another Ursa has fallen from a Knight's punch.
Cinder and her group having seen all of this, decides to keep up their appearance. Cinder nods her head, signaling Mercury and Emerald to attack the Grimm as she walks off. As an Ursa receives the business end of Mercury's Boots, at least half a dozen assorted Grimm stand in front of Emerald. It turns out that Emerald's Weapons are actually a pair of bladed, revolver-shaped pistols firing Dust particle lasers at the Grimm. The Grimm pack learn this the hard way when all but a single Ursa fall while charging at Emerald. Emerald quickly transforms her pistols into kopis blades, flipping and slashing at the rampaging Ursa to kill it. Out of the opening comes Zwei, followed by Dr. Oobleck in a damaged Atlesian Paladin-290.

An airship arrives, dropping off Team CFVY and Professor Port. As Yatsuhashi Daichi is surrounded by a pack of Grimm, he swings his mighty greatsword on the ground, unleashing a shockwave. Velvet and Fox Alistair respectively kick and punch the Grimm. Fox then unleashes a combo of slashes and punches that make a spiked Ursa explode, impaling the nearby Grimm with its spikes. Coco gives Fox a light pat on the butt.
Coco:Nice hustle, Fox. Good job.
Coco approaches a large Beowolf.
Coco:You just destroyed my favorite clothing store. Prepare to die.
Coco, after swatting away its right hand, kicks the Beowolf in the crotch. She, as it falls to the ground and looks at her, leans down and slams her bag onto its head. She effortlessly swats away more Beowolves, and the rest of Team CFVY resume fighting. Velvet steps forward, about to open her box. Only for Coco to stop her.
Coco:Hey, come on, you just spent all the semester building that up. Don't waste it here.
Coco then transforms her handbag into a giant minigun, and starts firing, slaughtering the advancing horde of Grimm, including a Death Stalker and three Nevermores.
{Song ends}
Another airship shows up and to everyones surprise, the Benihime band drops down.
{Play Fate Extella Umbral Star Battle track 3}
Kisuke:This a private party or can anybody join?
Elizabeth glares at an incoming horde of Beowolves.
Elizabeth:This city was suppose to be my first debut outside of Vacuo. And you jerks come here and hurt MY fans?! Unforgivable!
Elizabeth summons her lance before rushing a few Beowolves. They are not sparred her wrath as Elizabeth slashes the Grimm. She then moves on to the next group and repeats the process like a pink whirlwind.
Ryuko:Well, she's pissed.
Gourry:Better them than me.
Kurome:You think she needs our help?
Ryuko:Nah. Best not to get involved when she's like this. Still...
Ryuko tosses her guitar case into the air as it pops open. A red sword that looks like half of a scissor comes out of it. Ryuko twrils the blade by its handle on one arm before switching to the other. She then catches the blade in her right hand before pointing it at the Grimm with a smirk.
Ryuko:...that doesn't mean we can't have our own fun.
Gourry and Kurome draw their swords and the three band members rush off to help out. Leaving Kisuke alone, waving his fan at them.
Kisuke:Have fun kids!
An Ursa appears in front of Kisuke and tries to swipe at him. Kisuke jumps back to avoid the attack. Just when Kisuke's about to speak, his hat splits in half. The two halves fall off Kisuke's head. Kisuke then looks at the two halves in shock before looking down, his hair shadowing his eyes. He then looks at the Ursa with a dark gaze.
Kisuke(Menacingly):Okay. Now you've made me mad.
The Ursa roars before trying to attack Kisuke. The man does nothing until the Ursa's paw is inches away from his face. He calmly raises his cane and bats the Grimms paw to the side. Kisuke then bashes the Grimm with his cane a few times before twisting it. Part of the cane detaches to reveal a hidden sword. Kisuke slashes the Grimm a few times before stabing it in the head. He then removes his weapon from the Ursa and walks away. The Grimm falls to the ground as Kisuke puts his cane back together. He then pulls out another hat from his coat and puts it on his head.
Kisuke:I really liked that hat.
{Song ends}
Port and Oobleck regroup at the opening, nodding their heads. They fire their weapons at the approaching Grimm, while Glynda Goodwitch mops up the remnants and immediately closes the opening with the power of telekinesis.
Later on, everyone meets in the pavilion as Roman Torchwick is escorted by Mercury and Emerald towards an Atlesian airship.
Roman:Oh, I can't believe that you caught me, you've really taught me the error of my ways.
An Atlesian Knight grabs Roman by the arm.
Roman:He-hey, watch the hat!
Emerald and Mercury then approach Ruby and they smile at each other. But team HANT just frowns at them. Team JNPR is seen exchanging smiles, Sun and Neptune bump fists, Team CFVY likewise smile at each other, Charlie and Astolfo high five each other, the Benihime band is busy signing autographs and Port and Oobleck smile while Glynda watches from behind.
Afterwards, Team RWBY, team HANT and Zwei are sitting on the edge of Beacon's landing platform, overlooking the City of Vale from across the lake.
Yang:Well, we did it.
Blake:We did it.
Weiss:If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm gonna be seriously disappointed.
Yang:Weiss, a two-headed snake literally crushed a bakery. I wouldn't count on it.
Ruby:Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we still don't even know why they did this, or who that mystery girl was.
Weiss:Well, not every story has a neat and tidy ending.
Blake:We might not have all the answers, but we do have a lot of dangerous people behind bars. And I think that's something we could be proud of.
Ruby:Yeah! And if anyone tries something like this again, we'll be there to stop them.
Yang lies down on her back.
Yang:Yay, teamwork, camaraderie, good guys, go team, alright, good job... So, what now?
Weiss:I suggest training for the tournament, but I guess we have that covered at this point.
Blake:So then...
Ruby:Uhh... Time for bed?
Yang:Please.
Blake:Absolutely.
Weiss:Yes.
Yang:I'm going to sleep forever.
Team RWBY and Zwei then stand up and heads back towards Beacon's main campus. But Rubys stops, realizing that a few people are missing.
Ruby:Hakuno? You guys coming?
Team HANT continues to look out into the distance while Hakuno speaks.
Hakuno:Go on ahead Ruby. We'll see you later.
Ruby looks back with a frown before heading back with her team.
Hakuno:So? Your thoughts?
Tamamo:This is far from over.
Nero:Umu. Tis only begun.
Altera:Like team RWBY said, there are still many unanswered questions.
Nero:Like why Li Shuwen sided with Roman Torchwick.
Tamamo:Not to mention team RWBY's display earlier. Is it possible they have...?
Nero:Magic?
Altera:I did feel is small burst of mana coming from them. But how?
Hakuno:For some reason, I think we're the cause. Maybe since they've been spending so much time with us, our mana stirred something within them.
Tamamo:That may be our only answer to that question. If so, it may mean that our cover will be exposed soon.
Nero:It seems our time as huntresses is coming to an end.
-Ozpin's Office-
Vale's Government Council calls on Ozpin, who responds in his office. The headmaster aloofly stares outside his window.
Councilman 1:Ozpin? Ozpin!
Ozpin turns his chair towards his desk.
Ozpin:Yes, Councilman.
A video feed of the councilmen is shown on a holographic screen with Ironwood's video feed in the corner.
Councilman 1:You've left us no choice! The Vytal Festival tournament cannot be broadcast, let alone held, if we are unable to ensure the safety of the citizens.
Ozpin sips from his cup.
Councilman 1:Ahem... Therefore, we have reached out to the Atlas Council and together have decided that the best action is to appoint General Ironwood as head of security for the event.
Ironwood:Thank you, Councilman. Our Kingdom is happy to lend as many troops as it takes to ensure that the event runs smoothly and safely as possible.
Councilman 1:And we thank you, General.
Ozpin:Will that be all?
Councilman 1:For now. But after this festival comes to a close, we are going to have a serious discussion about your position at Beacon Academy. General Ironwood's reports over the last few weeks have left us somewhat... concerned. I am sure you understand.
The faceless councilmen's video feed disappears, leaving Ironwood's video feed alone with Ozpin. They silently stare at each other for a moment.
Ironwood:This is the right move, Ozpin. I promise, I will keep our people safe, you have to trust me.
Before Ironwood can end his call, Ozpin speaks.
Ozpin:I'm surprised you didn't mention team HANT to the council.
Ironwood narrows his eyes slightly as he stays silent for a moment before speaking again.
Ironwood:Those girls are hiding something Oz. I'm sure of it. But they'll have my trust because you trust them. ...For now.
Ironwood hangs up the video call. Ozpin then turns his chair around to look at the large Atlesian Ariship outside his window.
-Ironwoods Ship-
At the same time, Ironwood looks towards Beacon and Ozpin's office through a window.
Ironwood:You brought this on yourself.
Ironwood then walks toward a heavily guarded Roman in his holding cell, albeit without his signature hat.
Ironwood:Leave us.
The soldiers leave Ironwood alone, so that he can talk to Roman.
Ironwood:I've been informed that so far you've refused to co-operate with the authorities.
Roman:I know this might be hard to believe, General, but uh... I'm not the biggest fan of local law enforcement.
Ironwood:How about the world's strongest military power?
Roman:Hmm.. first impressions... not great.
Ironwood:I'm going to give you one chance. Who's really behind all this?
Roman:Isn't it obvious?
Ironwood leans his ear toward him to hear his answer.
Roman:You're looking at him.
Ironwood:Hm.. Very well then.
Ironwood starts walking away.
Roman:What's the matter, General? I thought you wanted to talk.
Ironwood:The council's given me custody over you for as long as I see fit. So you can make yourself comfortable. I can be sure that you'll have plenty of time to talk.
Roman:Oh, wonderful. Hehehe...
-Downtown Vale-
Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald meet discreetly at a rooftop.
Cinder:All in all, I call today a success.
Emerald:Those stupid kids really made a mess of things.
Mercury:Yeah. A lot of Faunus didn't make it out the tunnels. You still think the White Fang's gonna listen to us?
?: No, but they'll listen to me.
The group turns to see Adam Taurus. Before more can be said, Li Shuwen appears.
Li Shwen:Seems like I missed the party.
Cinder:And where were you mister Shuwen?
Li Shuwen:Getting rid of any evidence down in the tunnels. That's what you wanted...right?
Cinder grins.
Cinder:Exactly. Well done.
Li Shuwen:I was also reporting to HIM.
Cinder's eyes narrow slightly.
Cinder:And?
Shuwen grins.
Li Shuwen:Everything is on schedule. But he feels like we'll need more back up. Just to be safe.
Mercury:So, who's he sending?
?:Me.
The group turns to see a man with white hair, red and green eyes wearing gold armor approach them.
?:Berserker is also on stand by.
Cinder smirks.
Cinder:Looks like things are going to be exciting...mister Karna.
-End of Volume 2-
-Becaon Courtyard-
Yang walks in the Beacon Academy courtyard towards the mysterious swordswoman, who saved her before.
Yang:Who are you?
The mysterious swordswoman removes her mask, revealing herself to be similar to Yang in appearance. After seeing the woman, Yangs eyes turn red. For she knows who this woman is. The woman she's been searching for. Her mother. Raven Branwen.
Raven:Yang, we have a lot to talk about.
-Charlie & Astolfo's room-
Charlie and Astolfo are seen relaxing on their beds when suddenly the door opens. The two sit up to see who it is before they immediately pale. Outside the door are two female figures shrouded in shadow.
Charlie:Uh oh.
Astolfo:Meep!
?:You two have a lot of explaining to do.
Charlie:N-n-now boss. Let's not get crazy.
The other woman takes this time to speak in an almost emotionless voice.
?:The two of you were supposed to report to us. Yet you did not. Face your punishment.
Charlie and Astolfo hold each other in fear. The two girls then step into the light to reveal themselves.
One is a young girl with wavy light purple hair with part of it tied into a ponytail. She has purple eyes, a tan complexion, wears glasses and has a bindi on her forehead. She wears a sleeveless tight blue coat with a white front that is patterned with vertical lines and topped with purple curves; silver-lined grey shoulder pads over her coat and black gloves that extend past her elbows. She also wears a lilac skirt with three diagonal black lines on each side over white leggings and black ankle-length heeled boots with silver heels and toes. The roman numeral eight is seen on the left side of her skirt.
*Grace Tyler's outfit from Yugioh ARC-V*
The other one is also a young girl with aqua eyes and long wavy black hair, which she styles with flanking twin-tails tied with black ribbons. A strange symbol can be seen on the right side of her skirt.
*Outfit:Archer Illya*
These two are Charlie and Astolfo's teammates. Rani Atlasia and Rin T. Emiya.
Rin:Now, tell us what we missed.
-To be continued in volume 3-
Thaaaaat's right! Karna is working with Cinder and Rin and Rani are now here! Again, this version of Rin and Rani are from Remnant. Well, volume 2 is done. Rin's emblem is her command spell from the show. Now, as I said last chapter, there's going to be a bonus chapter before vloume 3 starts. But before I start volume 3, I wanna get some more chapters of Senki ZesshÅu Symphogear R under my belt. Right after I watch Symphogear XV. So until then, Ja ne!
