Without further ado, here is Chapter 5, enjoy!

(Yu-Gi-Oh Theme)

[Ruby's symbol appears on top as Ruby Rose stays in the middle as she then separated, one with her innocent self on the left, while the right is Stardust facing right]

(Your move! Your move! Your move! Your move!)

[Ruby's shadow shifts as it becomes Stardust Dragon with his amber eyes glowing]

(Your move!)

[Ruby's astral body flies in the vacuum of space as thousands of cards fly around her like an atom with giant beasts breathing fire and ice]

(Yu-Gi-Oh)

[Thunder clashed as monsters pour out from the land, sea and air. Zombies abruptly come up from the graveyard. Volcanoes erupted as Grimm ran to avoid their molten death. Multiple creatures came out and attack the city of Vale. Team JNPR attempt to fight off a giant T-rex as Yang is surrounded by raptors. In the skies, Weiss and Blake were trying to fight a green legless dragon in the Bullhead but was being trapped by lightning bolts. Ruby and Jaune then fall into a large portal as they called their friends for help.]

(Your move!)

[Ruby faces off a man in dark armor as she flows show bright red while the man in dark armor flows black and white. The camera then shows the man in dark armor on his throne while cards surround him like a shield. The scene switches to show a piece of armor fall off to reveal a small black pupil in its blood red eye.]

(Ruby: It's time to du-du-du-du-dududududududuel!)

[The camera shows Ruby's aura fluctuating while Ruby show stillness]

[The scenes then switch as it shows Weiss's face as she poses, Blake's face while pulling out Gambol Shroud, Yang's face in her semblance as she poises a punch, Team JNPR, Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood, and Cinder with fire tracing her right eye]

[The screen cuts to Ruby as she draws a card to the sky bolts of lightning comes from the card as it reveals Elemental Heroes on the right, Junk Warrior, Junk Destroyer, Junk Archer, Turbo Warrior, and Chevalier de Fleur to the left, and finally a red dragon with six eyes emerged from a star appearing at the top.]

(Yu-Gi-Oh)

A loud siren was heard throughout the abandoned mines as the Black Wings took action. Grabbing weapons and supplies as they got on the dropships and Bullheads. They took the Atlesian Paladins as they set their armaments.

Crow, along with RWBY and JNPR, got their weapons primed and ready as they got on a Bullhead.

"Alright, before we go, do any of you have questions so far that doesn't involve breaking legs," Crow asked then looking at Nora at that last few words.

"Uh, I have one," Weiss said, "How powerful is she?"

"Very powerful," Crow emphasized the 'very', "When it comes to strength I surpass he, but when it comes destructive power she is no joke. I'm talking about Armageddon powerful."

"Well, does she have a weakness," Ren asked.

"Ren, we're talking about a warrior powerful enough kill thousands of Grimm, lift millions tons of mountain that are sometimes physically impossible and is even capable of destroying an island with nothing but her rage. I don't think she does have weaknesses," Crow said giving Ren and the others the gist of her powers.

"But there has to be some limits to her aura," Pyrrha came in.

There was moments of silence until Crow decided to speak up, "Uh… aura?"

"Yeah, what you haven't heard of aura," Weiss asked raising an eyebrow.

"That's just the thing…. Black Rose and we don't have aura," Crow admitted.

"Wait-wait-wait," Weiss said abruptly, "You're telling us that all of the Black Wings you have and the Black Rose, don't have aura?"

"Pretty much," Crow said as everyone's eyes, except Ruby, widened a bit.

"So doesn't that mean when we're fighting you guys," Yang stopped remembering that she jabbed a Black Wing member with her weapon and shrugged off the punch like it was a normal one. She could've killed one of them.

"The entire time you huntresses were facing powerful non-aura users, if one can survive your Ember Celica, just imagine her strength, basically stronger than all eight of you together without a sense of aura," Crow said as some even paled at that declaration.

The Bullhead they are on began to lift off as others follow suit while some decided to stay at the abandoned mines. Just as they get close to their destination, Crow explained what is going on first.

"Listen up, the warrior you are fighting is located within Forever Falls, in order to find out where she is going, we need to find tracks that will lead us to her," Crow first said.

"And how do we do that," Jaune asked.

"Oh it's actually simple, some Black Wings reported that hordes of Grimm are running to an abandoned city."

"Wait, why are they running," Yang asked.

"From what I gather, the Grimm running have a sense of fear in them as if they are trying to look for a place to hide," Crow informed them.

"But what could make the Grimm afraid," Pyrrha asked. Nothing could make the Grimm afraid, she thought.

Crow looked at Ruby and vice versa, nodded and said in unison, "Black Rose."

As they found themselves in Forever Falls, they were devastated on how a great forest turned into a warzone. Trees were uprooted and destroyed, boulders turned to stones, and the earth has scars scattered the forest floor. The Grimm around them were already close to complete disintegration, making the scene more dreadful. Usually regular people would have a sense of panic from the sight and run away, but not them.

"She really did a number on this place," Ren said bending to a crushed tree.

Crow looked at the face of a fallen Beowolf as it fully dissolved into dust, "Yeah, she did. All the reason to find her," Crow then placed a finger on his ear, "This is Crow, any reports on the Black Rose?"

'None so far boss, all we see are black ashes and destruction.'

'We manage to find her tracks, but for some reason they lead outside the forest.'

"I see," Crow said taking out a map, placing it on the floor grabbing a pen, "All units focus her tracks, and give me coordinates so I can predict where she'll be going to."

Chatter came to Crow's ear as he drew dots and lines based on the coordinates he is given. It took a while but when he was done, he called RWBY and JNPR in a circle.

"We have an idea to where she'll be headed," Crow said pointed at a dot, "From what we know, Black Rose has already left Forever Falls. Then mysteriously she has been following the Grimm around these parts," Crow circled an area, "Now here's the kicker, she went somewhere southeast of Vale while we are here in Forever Falls."

"Okay, where does that lead us," Weiss asked.

"It means that there is something different in her actions, from what I heard she is looking for something," Crow answered.

"What could she possibly be looking for when she was destroying the Grimm," Pyrrha asked.

Crow put scratched his chin as looked at the pattern. It didn't take a while to realize there is something in the path she took, "I think I found it," he said looking at the others, "Do you guys wonder what happens when you go between a mother and her child?"

"Yeah, they grow sensitive and… overprotective," Yang said realizing as her eyes widened on what Crow is talking about.

"That's right, this pattern is not seeking destruction, but a mother desperate to find her lost child. The Grimm that were in her way is a sign that she will stop at nothing to get someone back, willing to bulldoze everything that may consider an obstacle. From what I'm seeing, she could be going here," Crow said pointing on the map.

RWBY looked to where he was pointing and realized the location where Black Rose would possibly be at.

"Mountain Glenn," RWBY said.

(Mountain Glenn)

"We're here," Crow said as RWBY and JNPR got out as they surveyed the land around them. As they got off, Crow got a transmission from his friends.

"And I thought we would be done with Mountain Glenn," Ruby muttered to herself as she walked by. Ruby then looked to see a familiar hole that helped her find the White Fang.

"EVERYONE GET TO COVER NOW," Crow screamed as some of his Black Wings got the message and flew to a distance while the others were startled and are confused by Crow's statement.

"What's going on," Yang asked the frazzled leader.

"It's bad, Rose took to the skies and accidentally knocked my Black Wings off course. And she's heading straight for us," Crow explained as he looked to the clouds with paranoia.

"How is that possible," Weiss asked.

"Black Rose has the capability of a shapeshifter, meaning she took a different form and flew," Crow said not wanting to mention she is actually a Duel Monster.

Blake made a small jump as she looked behind her back. Her hair is going straight up as her bow twitch in anxiety. It means there is something terribly wrong.

"What's wrong," Pyrrha said to her worried friend.

"I don't think we have time to hide," Blake said softly before turning it to a yell, "She's already here!"

Everyone looked to the sky as a massive silhouette appeared in the grey clouds and slowly descends to them. It then showed its actual form that made most of them shiver down their spine. It was donned in black and red as Ruby's gothic dress, but it was adorned in large rose petals that made the body. Two rose antennas protrude back with a large tail and armored neck. The whips were connected to its enormous wings. The Nevermore-like talons were elongated and intimidating.

She touched the ground of the ruined city, as the floor crumbled by the sheer power and weight she possesses and wind blew harsh as WBY and JNPR tried to hold their ground. Crow stood still looking at his friend cautiously and Ruby looked with her eyes slightly widened.

From the times in the void, she dealt with massive beasts that could've made Ruby a snack and make the Grimm look like toys. But seeing the Black Rose in her majesty, she felt utterly puny compared to her and Black Rose's power. She looked like she can tear anything in the world and burn anyone that dares to cross her way.

And her eyes, gleamed in topaz and small that made her more monstrous.

When she took a step forward, the ground shook as one of the buildings gave out and fall, making it only debris. Everyone was speechless, no one dare making a move, and even Nora found herself inaudible and scared.

"This is her form," Weiss whispered softly afraid.

"Yes, there are even times I considered my friend the most evil I had seen," Crow responded quietly looking at his friend, "I think she's about to roar everyone get down!"

Following the whispered command, RWBY and JNPR took shelter behind the debris as Black Rose gave a roar capable of breaking the sound barrier.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The loud roar came as the city shook, the ones in cover were nearly blown by her primal power as massive clouds of rubble and dust cloaked everyone as they attempt to protect their eyes. When the clouds cleared, everyone stood as they looked around and cannot believe the sight.

"I don't believe it, most of the city… has been completely destroyed," Jaune whimpered with his widened at he's seeing.

WBY and NPR looked to see that he is right. Once there was ruins, now became an empty lot. All for just a roar.

"That's crazy," Pyrrha said in awe and fear.

"All of that for just a roar," Blake said completely freaked out.

"She took down the buildings like it was nothing," Ren said his legs shaking.

Ruby looked to see the faces of her friends. Knowing that are no match for her, she silently walked up to Black Rose, getting her attention as she looked down on the petite huntress.

"Ruby," Yang yelled worriedly for the fate of her young sister is now in the hands of this monster.

Black Rose looked at the huntress-in-training, peering into this encounter. She found herself interested, like she was looking at her younger naïve self. Every growl she made, Ruby merely stood her ground with a face a determination, not willing to back out no matter how hopeless it could be. Black Rose then focused something familiar on Ruby. Her silver eyes….her silver eyes…

Black Rose roared in pain as she felt a migraine coming to her as she tried to shake it off, making the others startled at this action.

Not thinking twice, Weiss used her glyphs to bring Ruby back to them as Yang grabbed and the group started to run, except Crow who is looking at them in confusion when they stopped Ruby from getting a chance to talk to her.

Black Rose shook off the migraine as she saw WBY and JNPR running off with Ruby. She snarled in anger as they attempt to get away from her. Her eye mysteriously flashed silver before returning to topaz. It didn't go unnoticed as Ruby saw that small flash when she was being carried by Yang like a piece of meat.

"Wait, what are you guys doing," Ruby asked them, "Why did you just take me away from her?"

"As much as I want to see her Ruby, I would prefer to live right now," Weiss said fearful.

"Didn't you see what she did, I don't think talking to her may be a solution," Blake said running faster.

The ground trembled as they look behind… to see a mad dragon barreling down as she stomped her way to them. Seeing her like that, WBY and JNPR began to run faster with sharp turns at the corners.

Impatient with the brats that took the dual-haired girl, she simply used her whips to knock down some of the buildings that are in the way. The damage she made was used to block them from running anymore, but made them go a different direction or go over them.

Not wanting to waste any more time, she stretched her tail around the group and destroyed the rubble around and used her whips to create a rubble barrier around them.

With nowhere to go, they began to prep their weapons for their upcoming losing battle against the Black Rose. As the Black Rose clawed a part of the barrier out, she slowly stomped to the group. But as fortune said, the ground began making cracks as they then pattern themselves around RWBY and JNPR.

"Uh oh," RWBY and JNPR said.

They all screamed as they fell into the underground village of Mountain Glenn.

(Underground Village, below Mountain Glenn)

"Everyone alright," Ruby groaned nursing the back of her head from the fall.

"Yeah," Blake said getting up on her feet as the rest follow.

Pyrrha was feeling slightly better when she landed on something. When she looked, Pyrrha saw Jaune under her while his arms wrapped around her waist. He must've protected her from the fall, she thought. She blushed lightly realizing her lips are close to his.

"You okay," Jaune asked his partner groaning from the pain.

"Yes, thank you Jaune," Pyrrha said smiling.

CLICK

The two looked to see that Yang had taken a picture with her scroll as the others look at them in annoyance (Weiss), eagerness (Nora), jovial (Ruby), deadpanned (Ren and Blake), and teasing (Yang) looks. They quickly stood and shyly looked away as Jaune began to blush.

CRASH

They jumped as they heard a crash yards from them. Unfortunately, it was Black Rose more livid than ever as she stomped toward them. Ruby, not wanting anyone to get hurt, quickly used her semblance and spread her arms as a way of saying stop.

Her friends begged Ruby to not make a foolish move, but to their surprise Black Rose stopped right in front of her, making them look eye-to-eye.

"Don't worry guys," Ruby reassured still looking at Black Rose, "She won't hurt me. And you know it too, don't you?"

Black Rose reared her head by an inch as Ruby held up her hand in a way of trust. As her hand touched Black Rose's face, the bloodlust and need for destruction instantly vanished as Black Rose's eyes went back to normal and the thorns slowly retracted. Feeling calm at the moment, like a bird resting on the nest Rose copied the motion as she wrapped Ruby around with her tail and neck like a sauropod tending a young one.

Suddenly large black rose stems spurted out, surrounding both dual colored beings as a barrier while WBY and JNPR look in trepidation.

"Ruby," WBY and Jaune yelled as they ran to the shield.

"Don't interfere!"

They stopped on the voice to see Crow flying down in front of them, looking at them dangerously.

(Within the Barrier)

Ruby looks at Black Rose as she merely looks like she fell asleep the moment the plants came up. The embrace she felt when Black Rose wrapped around her, it felt something inside her that yearned for years. It reminded of her when she was young, feeling the sense of love and nurture that her mom made. Even now, she misses her.

"Black Rose," Ruby said slightly nudging her, "Why were you destroying everything. Who were you looking for?"

Black Rose opened her eye at Ruby as she then summoned a piano with a blonde man cover in green and black with rose petals at the heel and thorn whips at his whips, Splendid Rose sitting and starting to play the piano softly. And then… Black Rose started to sing beautifully.

Long ago, before we met,

I dreamed about you.

The peace you bring.

The songs we sing.

The way you'd make things new.

Then one day, you arrived.

I heard your angel cry.

Helpless, small, and perfect,

Welcome to your life.

And on that day, I made a vow.

Whispered and true.

No matter what, no matter how,

I made this promise to you.

I will cling, I will clutch,

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.

I won't leave, I won't go,

I will stay with you all our days.

Ruby looked at her in trance listening to the beautiful voice that came from her, focusing on the words she sings.

Years of joy have passed since then.

With time I've seen you grow.

Watched you play, new each day.

I begged the time to slow.

And though I miss the little girl,

You've made me awful proud.

Funny how our lives change,

'Cause you're my hero now.

But things in life will rearrange.

Friends come and go.

Don't ever doubt, don't ever fear,

I'm always here and you know.

I will cling, I will clutch,

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.

I won't leave, I won't go,

I will stay with you all our days.

Black Rose moved closer to Ruby, saying the last few words.

I will stay with you all our days.

Ruby looked down hearing the last lyrics of her song. Could it mean she really wanted to be with her? As she looked at Black Rose, her rose petals changed color from red to white and she saw silver eyes looking at her as tears threaten to fall from her draconic form. Ruby put her hands on her mouth with her eyes widened in surprise as she knows those eyes. Tears fell before her as she softly cried on what is actually happening before her.

"Mom," Ruby whispered in disbelief as Black Rose wrapped around her body more while Black Rose's tears finally come down.

Ruby's dam had finally broke as she hugs Black Rose's head crying even more, now knowing the one in Black Rose… was her mom, Summer Rose.

"Thus kindly, I scatter."

Narrator: As the two unite once more, many questions want be answered. The soul of the longing mother who searched for so long had finally emerged from the depths of Black Rose. Next time on Dawn of Duel Monsters: Part 2: Reunion, Mother vs Daughter. The soul and subconscious could never be destroyed, nor can they be forgotten.

Okay, I am going to admit it, I teared up a bit when I did the song. The song was All Our Days. And… It. Was. Beautiful.

Anyway, Read, review, and tell me what you think of Black Rose. But no hate reviews or flames please.
