(Reverse Remnant; Supercarrier)
A series of black wings flapped around the ruined ship as they head for the bridge of the ship. On top of Red Eyes Black Dragon, Jaune laid on his back as he continued to try tolerating the most painful and agonizing treatment had unknowingly been attacked by. Gritting his teeth, hands on chest and eyes, his body was filled with charred marks and burns as he was carried on Red Eye's back. As much as he wanted to lay down and get healed, he had a job to do and that is to get to the Commander as soon as possible.
Meanwhile on the bridge, the Commander walked to a part of the ship's controls and began pressing on the buttons with one hand. In his telepathic powers, he could hear the dragons coming for his blood, oh how exhilarating it would be to meet the Red Eyes. But unfortunately his plan has a higher priority than that.
'They may've think they beaten me, but regrettably for them I am just one step ahead,' the Commander thought as he pressed one last button before heading up to the sight of the door.
As he expected, the door was blown off by a fire blast with the fragments of the metals nearly scraped his appearance. As the smoke dissipated from the blast the fused and remained forms of Red Eyes surrounded him in a half circle. The original Red Eyes landed on twos as Jaune got off with his duel disk in gun mode in hand, blood still falling on his lips, eyes and nose.
"It's over… Commander," Jaune said painfully while aiming his gun at the Commander, "You lost."
"On the contrary young Arc, I am far from lost," Commander said without any signs of surrender.
Jaune pressed the trigger and fired at the Commander. As the card-like ammunition spewed towards its target, it then phased through the Commander as it lodged itself on the part of the ship before dissipating. No sign of damage on the Commander, before he began to distort a bit.
"A hologram," Jaune yelled surprised as he looked at him with a bit of anguish.
"As I told you and that little rose, no matter what you do we will reverse this situation as many times as we like, what you witnessed was nothing but a mere prelude of what is to come. But since you went all this way just to get to me, I could give you a consolation prize," He thought for a little while before snapping his fingers, "I know, I'll give you this ship. I won't be needing it for a while. I hope to see you and that girl once again on the battlefield. If you can take care of what I wrought upon this world," Commander said bowing to him as he completely faded away.
Jaune stood there along with Red Eyes as he began to feel everything they had done to be pointless, but the speech the Commander gave, give him an ominous belief that there will be more like this. Suddenly the ship began to tumble as Jaune managed to get his footing. Something tells him that there is something outside causing this gigantic ship to move. A ring was heard as he fished for his scroll with the caller being Ruby.
"Jaune, something bad is happening, some pods got out of the ship and landed on the city and all of a sudden the skies turned dark!"
Jaune got the message as he began to leave the ship with Red Eyes Black Flare Dragon and Meteor Black Dragon while the others joined him to leave.
(Remnant; Beacon)
The hunters and huntresses were surprised, no flabbergasted that there are actual copies now standing before them. But mostly Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood. The maidens were supposed to be kept a secret and they formed the Brotherhood to make the Maidens nothing but a fairy tale. And the current Fall maiden was seriously injured and hidden in their secret vault. And now, a complete copy of the Fall maiden now appears before them. It must mean that the enemy that wanted the young girl dead, knows they existed. And these two are willing take on all of them by themselves, who are they to believe they can take down a maiden along with the villains that existed.
"These guys are the ones that caused you guys so much trouble," Bane said pointed at them with false disbelief and chuckled, "Oh this is rich! I can't believe these jokers would be it, you guys must be much weaker than I expected!"
A mocking tone complete with a pure insult got Weiss, Blake and Yang growing ticks on their foreheads. Each of them had reasons to say they more than what they appeared. But they couldn't help but remember their squabble with Crow. The guy took them and team JNPR on without any effort, no sign of exhaustion, and no aura at all. Skills like that would've had him on par with the most skilled huntsmen to have ever existed.
"Bane, how about you take care of the circus crew while I take care of the ones with the masks," Crow suggested.
"Sounds like a plan, I'm in," Bane said cracking his fists, "I haven't fought for a long time, but this should be a good warm-up."
Bane opened up a hand to have the bullet Dexter caught to save Ruby
"Be ready on my mark," Bane said.
"Right," Crow said with blades already out, readying himself for combat.
The copies began to shift their bodies as four of them stepped forward to the challenge composed of Adam Taurus, the chainsaw-wielding lieutenant, Neo, and Roman Torchwick.
Bane tossed the bullet into the air as everyone focused on the falling ammunition. Slowly but surely, it fell closer to Bane.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
(Red vs Blue Season 10 Soundtrack: Pray)
The bullet onto his palm as he flicked it to the ice cream-themed girl, lodging into her forehead. As it seemed she fell, her body shattered like glass as the real Neo ducked and charged at Bane with a few kicks, but he dodged by nearly inches from each strike. He grabbed her arm in a swift manner as he threw her over as Torchwick aimed his can and fired at him, but the shots didn't hit him as Bane quickly punched him in the gut and uppercut him. Crow spread his wings as flew towards Adam with killing intent. Adam quickly got into a stance as he readied himself with his on the hilt. On the moment Crow was in range, Adam gave his signature attack, but missed him. Crow flew up and speedily went down as he grabbed Adam's jaw and drove him down behind him to the ground. Crow kicked his face, forcing him to stand as Adam was kicked again on the stomach.
Meanwhile Torchwick was blocking Bane's lightning claw and blade strikes. But the strikes were powerful, so he had extreme trouble holding off the power in the strikes. He crouched down a bit as Neo was over and kicked, only to be blocked by Bane's double-axed tail and clawed to the face, while Roman got force palmed to the heart, launching him a few feet.
Crow was simultaneously blocking Adam's sword and holding off the chainsaw-wielding lieutenant. He threw them off as he gave a few strikes to Taurus and uppercut him before going to the lieutenant. The lieutenant drove his chainsaw down, but the moving teeth was blocked by Crow's wrist blades. With a twist with his blades, the moving teeth was shattered as it became useless. Crow made quick strikes to his abdomen, kicks his lower body, knocked the weapon off and finished him by stabbing through the head before kicking him off and heading towards Taurus.
Bane had Roman weaponless as he continuously punched him like a punching bag before brutally braking the bones on his arms and legs. As he went down, Neo jumped behind Bane as he turned to look at her, she began using her umbrella for well-placed strikes but each were blocked by Bane's axe arms. Bane then caught her umbrella with one hand and punched her hard on the face. Bane broke her umbrella in half and went to finish off Torchwick by impaling his claws into his heart. The criminal now lifeless, he heads towards the petite girl trying to stand up. Before she had a chance, Bane dug his claws into her spine as her showed immense pain and lifted off the ground. The next thing happened was brutal to the young members of WBY and NPR. Mechanical parts were heard as the jaws began to open wide and serrated teeth emerged from within. Rearing his head, Bane lunged his teeth onto Neo's head and trapped her like a monstrous bear trap. The teeth went through her aura and dug themselves on her head. With a twist of Bane's head, Neo's neck was snapped in two.
On Crow's side, he was being block by Adam's red sword as he went to give the killing blow. Without notice, he swerved around the Faunus, grabbed his sheathed and kicked him. He snapped it in two as he forced him into the defensive. Adam tried to quickly block them all, but he couldn't be fast to see that Crow caught his sword with his predator blades and broke it. With the sword snapped, Crow gave a powerful combo as he tore through Adam's aura and to the point he is dripping blood. Crow ended this copy's life by driving all four wrist blades into his chest. Adam fell on his knees lifeless as Crow brought his blades out.
Large feathers began to fall from the sky as the Nevermore and Deathstalker made their move, Crow took the flying behemoth while Bane took the latter. Bane ran to the giant scorpion as it tried to kill him with its stinger and claws, but to no avail as he punch the large insect up and made it lay on its back. Bane savagely clawed its revealed underbelly before it turns stiff and lifeless. Crow flew through the storm feathers as the Nevermore launched itself toward him. Crow ducked under and used his blades to lodge on the giant bird. Then he began to climb the bird by punching up while the Nevermore roared in pain and tried to shake him off. With great resilience, he reached the back of the bird's head. He brought up his right arm and dug the blades into the back of the head. The Nevermore falls to ground with a large thump while Crow landed next to it without exhaustion.
All that is left is the Fall Maiden.
"Crow," Bane yelled to his comrade, "I'll handle her."
Crow knew that the two of them can take care of her easily. But it seems that Bane wants to see the power that lies within this girl. Although he would complain on why he wants her, he does see this as a way of Red or Bane measuring the power of these 'Maidens'. Even the Alliance knew about them when they arrived here. To them some stories and tales are sometimes true. After all, would you believe a maiden with white hair and blue eyes would hold one of the most powerful and iconic dragons known in existence 5,000 years ago in Egypt.
'Don't cry to me when you feel like you're losing,' Crow telepathically warned as he sheathed his blades and crossed his arms to watch the show.
Weiss, Blake, Yang, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha were all shocked and jaws dropped as they saw them kill them off in the most brutal fashion. And they did it in a span of minutes while they took a while to defeat them. They couldn't help but feel glad that they are on Ruby's side. However they do wonder why Bane would want the girl to himself. To them, she looks one of the exchange students from another Academy.
Bane, without warning, launched up and brought his right claw down. The Maiden leaped back, her cloak removed, as the claw created a large crater. She quickly extends her staff to full length. She twirls her staff around her body, kicking up the winds and blasting it towards her opponent, but Bane revealed his demonic wings as he used them to block the attack. Bane leaps forward as he lands on the staff and kicked her, forcing her to step back and buckle a bit from the kicking power. Then Bane charges forward as he forced the Maiden to unleash a stream of fire on him. Inside the fire, Bane forced her staff up, to reveal no scratch on his body, jab her on the stomach and punch her so hard she fell to the ground.
Bane moved away from the body as his opponent sat up with her head bowed down. She looks up with orange energy pouring from her eyes. The winds erupt from the Maiden, swirling around making only the students cover their faces from the force. When she lifts off the ground and spreads her arms to the sky, lightning now rumbling in the clouds for her to aim at him.
'Nice try,' Bane mentally as he raised a finger up to the clouds, lightning struck his hand but he felt no discomfort. He aimed his finger at the Maiden and fired back at her with the absorbed lightning, who barely got out of the way in time.
Calling out for more storm, Bane decides to change tactics and swiftly evade the lightning as he fired upon her with fireballs from his gaping jaw. She stood her ground as she took the hits, with an invisible shield absorbing most of it. He charges forward as he punched her in the face, making her falter a bit. He switched stances as he began to punch like a heavyweight boxer, striking only the upper areas of her body. Then he uses his weaponized tail and struck her multiple times like a fast scorpion. Every blow she took, she staggered more as she eventually ended up being on her knees. Bane forced her up with an uppercut and began to bruise her face. He grabbed her hair and forced her to the ground, making her kiss the earth. He stomped on her like as if she was garbage and kicked her side, making her lay on her back. He walked away a bit as he shook his claw, when she tried to get up, he knocked her back to the ground. From that point, her aura already faded away.
He then repeatedly stomp on her and to end it, he jumped on her stomach with all his weight as he made a small crater with the Maiden in the center. The Maiden was all bloody and bruised with claws marks from head to her stomach and some of her clothes were shredded.
"To think you have this level of power and you only limited yourself from using all of it. Such wasted potential on a mere child," Bane whispered to the beaten copy, "I hope you don't mind… if I take it from you."
Bane surged his right hand as it became enveloped in a dark red mist and plunged it into her heart. The fallen copy's body began to spasm from Bane's powerful energy as her orange energy began to flicker. Eventually, that energy began to take form, Bane removed his hand from the deceased Maiden, and the energy slowly transformed into a glowing, spiral crystal the size of a dagger. The Maiden's power is now in the palm of his hand. While it is poor compared to Black Rose's destructive capability or his Absolute Power, it can still be used for evil despite it being for good purposes.
'To think that this power gave her such greatness,' Bane said telepathically to Dexter and Crow, 'what do you think will happen if we were to give the duelists such an essence.'
'If you're thinking about an army of her, then we would be unstoppable for decades,' Dexter said, 'However you do know this nothing but a complete copied version of her power. I think it is best if you allow me study its magical prowess.'
'He does have a point,' Crow agreed, 'this world is extremely unique unlike the others, and it is better to have it fully analyzed rather than witness it firsthand.'
'I see that we are in agreement,' Bane said agreeing on their points of view, 'however let's keep it for the time being, I think those three intend to keep it themselves.'
'Right,' the two dragons agreed in unison.
By the time they finish their telepathic argument, the copies dissipated into ash as they scattered in the air. Bane had walked to them as the two begin to join him as well. The hunters and huntresses couldn't help but glimpse at the crystal.
"Ooh," Nora eyed the crystal as she stepped a bit closer to look, "What is this?"
"… The source of the copy's power, as you saw from that light show," Bane said opening his hand a bit for them to look.
"And she did all that because of the crystal," Weiss said fascinated by the crystal.
"But you shouldn't worry, we'll keep a watchful eye on it," Bane said before seeing the crystal hover a bit as he caught it. He looked to see that it was the female professor who did it, "Is there a problem with us holding it Professor Ozpin," He growled asking the incompetent headmaster.
"Yes, I believe it would be more beneficial if you allow us to safeguard the crystal," Ozpin said with iron.
"Ha-ha-ha, like I would believe you and your staff are capable since that breach in Vale," Bane said coldly, "That says the same for the General. As I recall, your tech always seems to get taken by the riffraff White Fang. So it makes us believe you are not capable for simple tasks such as watching this crystal," he said steely, "The only one who can take it is us and her, so don't think about taking it from us."
All of what he said is true, and it even got more ire to their fire.
(Reverse Remnant; Vale)
The skies have incredibly dark as purple lightning crashed in the skies. Ruby managed to remove the burning feeling from Black Rose. Even the said dragon was looking to the skies as it roared in anticipation before going to Ruby's group.
And also Stardust and Blade had caught up to them.
"Stardust, Crow, Blade, Black Rose," Ruby greeted happy to see them, "I was worried about you guys, did anything happen in Vale?"
"Oh not much, thanks to your efforts everyone is safe, but for here though," Stardust said before looking at some purple lightning, "I know this dark feeling, don't you guys?"
"Yeah, how could I not," Black Rose said gritting and baring her teeth.
"I and Stardust had most of the civilians escape Vale with help from your heroes and some warriors, but now it is time to deal with the real threat," Blade said more serious.
By that time Jaune and some of the Red Eyes joined to look at the dark storm. And then there was silence. The skies began to turn black as night and quakes were heard all over the ruined city with fires completely extinguished. Massive purple fire erupted from the ground as they began to form a massive glyph, correlating with one another and drew a shape. When it was complete, a glyph of a lizard formed up on the city engulfed within the mark.
The fragile earth shook as a massive, no colossal figure erupted from the mark. It turned out to be a black reptile with unnatural green lights, easily dwarfing over the buildings like they were splinters. In fact when it grew to its full size, Ruby and her friends look like mere specks to it.
"What-What is that thing," Jaune asked now scared, sweating, and blue.
"It's… It's huge," Ruby yelled as her eyes were completely wide.
"He actually did it," Black Rose said, "And out of all of them he chose Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua!"
"That's the Earthbound Immortal," Jaune yelled in disbelief. He thought the Immortal would be as tall as the CCT, but never on titanic levels.
Ruby then felt a surge on her left arm as she felt intense pain on. She pulled down her sleeve and saw that a mark of a dragon's head showed up.
"A mark," Ruby squeaked confused on why it flared up now.
Unfortunately, as the mark flared on her arm, the massive Immortal turned to find to source of this familiar power. Looking down, it found what it seeks… a Signer.
"SIGNER!" The Immortal bellowed as the voice emitted a powerful shockwave, easily destroying some of the buildings just by speaking, "AFTER MILLIENIAS OF ETERNAL SLUMBER, WE HAVE FINALLY RETURN TO SEND THE WORLDS INTO UTTER DARKNESS. TO THINK A SIGNER WOULD BE HERE ALREADY TO CEASE MY WRATH! BUT UNLIKE BEFORE I WILL ERADICATE YOUR KIND FROM THE FACE OF EXISTENCE FOR PERPETUITY!"
But before it begins to strike the Signer. It saw a dragon next to her, filled with black scales and rose petals adorned its body. It couldn't help but feel pure resentment for it to remind it of its last reawakening. The rosy dragon flies up in intense speed as it lands on the Immortal's large hand.
"THE RAGE INCARNATE, DARES TO INTERFERE AGAIN WITH OUR GOAL!" The Immortal roared in hatred.
"CCARAYHUA!" Black Rose yelled back with a roar as she begins to grow in size.
"WE HAVE LIVED IN TORMENT BECAUSE OF YOU, SERVANTS! DID YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE YOU CAN HOLD US FOR SO LONG?!" The Immortal bellowed.
"It was supposed to have you kept forever!" She said to the point being over 100 meters tall, but a solid rock compared to the dark behemoth.
"IT IS YOU'RE SENSE OF MORALE THAT WILL ALWAYS HAVE US RETURN! THE NEGATIVITY AND DARKNESS OF THESE WORLD EVEN HAS ENOUGH TO RELEASE US FROM OUR PRISON! NOW THAT WE ARE FREE, RETRIBUTION NOW COMES TO US! BLACK ROSE!" Ccarayhua then grabs Black Rose and attempts to crush her with his hands.
"No," Ruby yelled as she bravely tried to get to Black Rose.
Before she could even get close with her monsters lightning began to strike before her. Forced to stop, she looked up and saw purple fire doing the same thing on the skies. The fires created what looked like a large fish. Descending from the clouds, a massive black whale with purple highlights flew down gracefully making eye contact to Ruby. Both graceful and terrifying, the Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua.
"DON'T EVEN TRY SIGNER!" The demonic whale spoke, "OUR AWAKENING HAS JUST BEGUN! WE WILL NOT FAIL THIS TIME IN DEFEATING YOU! THE TIMES CHANGED IN DIFFERENT WORLDS, BUT YOU ARE STILL AN ENEMY TO US, SERVANT OF THE CRIMSON DRAGON!" The Immortal roared like a whale as it charged toward the petite girl.
Unfortunately for her, it looked like a mountain is going to crash into her. A light flashed beside her as Ruby looked to see Stardust now a 100 meter draconic giant. Now in his palm, Ruby was carried by Stardust, bursting incredible speeds for his size as the whale followed. Multiple purple flares start to bloom from the monstrous whale as they shot up around its large frame and began to take shape. By that time, they appeared with sharp horns at the front with cannons sitting at the top, they became Fortress Whales. And now… they are being chased by a pod.
"It can do that!" Ruby said surprised at the site of its army.
"Yes, the Immortals are capable of summoning false versions of other monsters and control them at will," Stardust answered.
At that moment, her synchros began to charge at the false versions using their arsenals as shields.
"Ruby, we'll handle these fish, we need you and Stardust to go against the Leviathan," Chevalier yelled blocking the horn with her sword.
"She's right, we'll hold them off as long as we can," Turbo said pushing the whale away.
Suddenly large gallons of water erupted from the clouds as it swarmed the skies and enveloped the large whale and Ruby, it is the field spell Umi.
"I'm gonna drown," Ruby panicked clapping her hands over her mouth.
"Don't panic, it may look like water, but it is actually an illusion made by the Immortal," Stardust reassured as she let go of her mouth.
It was almost like she can breathe in it.
The large Immortal was right at their tail, meanwhile on top of it, Jaune and the Red Eyes held on to its dark, smooth skin. Almost immediately all of them struck at the whale, but to no avail. Unfortunately for them, Chacu Challhua managed to spawn Cranium Fish and Cyber Sharks on its body as they look to see they are surrounded.
At Black Rose, she is trapped between two hands as she held them away with her talons and whips. She always hated being in places such as this, thinking they can take her easily and control. She is a force of nature and sometimes… nature can't be controlled.
With her destructive might, she pushed off the titan's finger and gave a powerful flare, blinding the dark titan.
"MY EYES!" The titan bellowed as Black Rose flew the skies and landed on the behemoth's right arm.
She ran up the arm while damaging it with her fire as she inflicted it with the power of the Crimson Dragon.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT YOU MAGGOT!" The titan said gaining back its vision.
The Immortal summoned some minions on its right arm as they appeared before the Black Rose Dragon. To her eyes, she sees serpent beings with arms as some had multiple heads.
'Reptilianne monsters,' she thought recalling the last time she fought them. In the past she had to deal with during the same time the Dark Signers were brought to the world in the former junkyard Satellite. But it doesn't matter, what does is that she'll burn the pathetic minions down.
She swerved her thorn whips with extreme brutality as the thorns painfully mutilated anything in its path. She jumped and brought her wings and whips down as it made a cascade of explosions up the arm, incinerating the poor suckers in her path. She flew higher as immediately Reptilianne Hydras began to climb on the rosy dragon. Every Hydra getting on added more weight to her flight as she began to create a fiery pulse as the Hydras began to get burned and cremated.
She stopped just in time as the Earthbound Immortal tried to crush her with its palm. With a finger blocking her way, she climbed up and unleashed her fury as she began to lengthen her whip-like limbs and closed down on it, cutting clean through the finger.
The massive behemoth roared in pain as it brought its hand up as one of the fingers was cut off.
"YOU WILL PAY A THOUSAND DEATHS FOR THAT!" It said angrily as it saw the Signer Dragon fly across its body to the chest as the dragon began climbing up.
Ruby and Stardust on the other hand is having trouble. Somehow, the whale Immortal can use the water as its arsenal and shoot stream after stream of water at them, while they dodged each of them with difficulty.
"Stardust, what are we going to do," Ruby asked as she looked at the Earthbound Immortal.
"I got one but I need you to play it, inside your deck holds a Majestic Dragon and Stardust Xiaolong. Summon them to the field and we'll strike at the Immortal!" Stardust telling her.
"What will it do," Ruby asked while setting up the required monster.
"Simple, I have a form that can defeat that Immortal with ease, but it requires your assistance. The form I'll take will be temporary but will empower us with the Crimson Dragon," Stardust said.
"Okay, I think I can do that," Ruby said as she has the exact two monsters they'll need. With ambition, she brings them out to the field.
But the moment Chacu Challhua saw the small red dragon next to the starry dragon, it gave a powerful wail as streams of water began to form into a geyser aiming straight towards them. Ruby looked behind to see that geyser and believed it to be over for her. But something blocked the rush of water as she saw Chevalier de Fleur blocking with her body as she took the full force.
"Chevalier," Ruby yelled with dread seeing her own monster sacrifice herself for them.
"Go Ruby, finish the summoning… and take the fish down," Chevalier struggled as pieces of her armor began to crack.
Ruby, despite seeing her in pain, went ahead and played it
"I tune Stardust Dragon with Majestic Dragon and Stardust Xiaolong," Ruby declared as the small dragon turned into a tiny star and the red dragon separated into green hoops surrounding her and Stardust. Meanwhile on her back, the symbol of the Crimson Dragon appeared.
"I harness all the power of the stars," Ruby chanted.
"I channel all the might of the dragons," Stardust chanted as well.
In the meantime, Black Rose can feel her mark pulsing as she was dealing with a Reptilianne Vaskii on the chest, even Bane, Crow, and Dexter can feel their marks as they pulsed as well.
"We Synchro Summon," Ruby and Stardust yelled as they are enveloped in a bright light "Majestic Star Dragon!"
As the light vanished, it revealed a new body of Stardust Dragon. He had no arms, but he had four uniquely sharp wings and sharp legs, a jewel on his forehead, and purple and orange orbs on his body as he continuously produces, well stardust.
"Whoa," Ruby awed at her dragon's form, sitting on his shoulder.
"Ready Ruby," Stardust asked as Ruby shook off her amazement and replied with a nod, "Then let's do this! Hold on!"
Stardust made an immediate U-turn and blasted at supersonic speeds, while Ruby desperately held on to his shoulder as they charged through to the Earthbound Immortal. They went inside its mouth and punched through its right side as the Immortal roared in pain. Meanwhile Jaune and his forces were pushed far from Stardust's assault and was greeted to the sight of Chacu Challhua exploding in different places and eventually fade.
On Black Rose's side, she had Vaskii in a bind as she ended her with impalements to the chests and left it falling while dissipating.
"ENOUGH!" The lizard Immortal said catching her with its tongue, "TRUST ME! EATING YOU WILL BE MORE UNPLEASANT FOR ME!" It then began to retract its tongue as it swallowed the Black Rose Dragon.
'I refuse to be a snack for this vile beast!' she thought with rage as she descended down its dark throat.
After the Immortal has swallowed its prey, it began to feel immense pain as it held the stomach. Next thing it knows, its body shook violently.
Instantly six thorn whips extended out in different areas of the Immortal's stomach and began to slice more. And finally all six closed fast like a guillotine, souls pour constantly out while the Immortal tried to hold them inside with its hands. In the midst of those souls, Black Rose emerged out and flew up reaching the head. With her mark pulsing with the Crimson Dragon's power and her rage bringing more, she smashed the head with a deadly head-butt as the giant Immortal propped back and fell.
Black Rose stood victorious as she landed on the being's chest, looking at its defeated form.
"YOU MAY HAVE WON THIS ROUND BLACK ROSE!" The Immortal said surprisingly speaking, "BUT MARK OUR WORDS, YOU HAVE ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE! WE WILL COME BACK TO RESTORE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE AND THIS TIME! THESE WORLDS WILL SOON FADE INTO UTTER DARKNESS!" The Immortal last said before transforming into a purple orb and flew to a dark portal and vanished. The marks on the sky and the earth had faded into nothing.
Black Rose looked to the former place of the portal and couldn't help but ponder about the words it said. To her, it is time to assemble everything she owned and help fight against the darkness. As she went back to the ruined city now shrinking to 17 meters, Black Rose looked to see Ruby shaken with her monsters, along with Jaune, are around Chevalier who was injured, armor cracked, and lost her flower plume. Almost lifeless.
"What happened here," Black Rose softly asked.
"She-," Ruby said tears swelled, "She took the hit for us when that Earthbound Immortal tried to kill us. Please, help save her," Ruby pleaded to the destructive dragon.
Black Rose couldn't help but look at Ruby's sad face. Even if the monster is destroyed, it would go back as a ghost or in a card. That's how it works in Duel Monsters. And monsters that exist now can take even the most dangerous of punishments. But she guessed Ruby didn't know and proceed to bring energy to Chevalier. Pink aura shined on its body as the cracks began to disappear and the plume is now returned. The wounded knight now healed, had returned back into a card.
"It is done," Black Rose said as Ruby went to pick up Chevalier's card and hugged it close to her chest.
"This place is a mess," Blade said looking at the ruined city, "I almost believe we could save everyone. And yet, it still remains the same on every battle. They end up getting caught in the crossfire."
Ruby looked to see the ruined city again as some buildings gave up and crumble. She even saw a ruined teddy bear near a kid's arm. The body was stuck under the rubble with blood smeared. Where they are at, is similar to the same place of the breach in her Remnant. But this place had more corpses and blood from innocent people, who doesn't deserve such a fate.
"Stardust," Ruby called to her partner, "I have a request for you."
"What is it Ruby," Stardust asked for the tone of Ruby's voice.
"Please… I want you to save them," Ruby said with sadness.
"… Do you want me to Ruby," Stardust looking at the corpses, "After everything that was done, you want me to save all the lives lost in this skirmish."
"Please Stardust," Ruby said tears falling, "Everyone who had been here had been hurt because of me. I didn't want anyone to suffer for what I had done. And they don't deserve this fate," she looked to Stardust Dragon, "I begging you Stardust, let me give back their future again."
Stardust looked down to the depressed and saddened Ruby. Then determined, he began to spread his wings, little stars glistened everywhere as he flew up to the sky. He gave a loud wail as he circled around the destroyed city, showering it with stars. As if a phenomenon, buildings once broken now reassemble themselves back up becoming new, the blood spread all over now flow back to the dead as they began to live again. People began to look at their bodies as if something changed, only to realize they are alive again, cheering and hugging one another as they are given a miracle. They looked up to the starry dragon, praising the dragon of miracles. Stardust returned to his partner as she is now happy while crying tears of joy, knowing that she had save them from unnecessary death.
Ruby began to feel dazed, she began to stumble to the ground and lay on the repaired concrete.
"Ruby," Jaune said worried about his friend's health.
"It's alright, Ruby only lost some energy when Stardust performed the miracle," Black Rose reassured the blond knight, "She just needs rest. You did good Ruby, you deserve some rest."
Ruby smiled on Black Rose's words as let sleep take over while holding Chevalier's card firm to her body.
One by one, all of Jaune and Ruby's monsters began to fade, now returning into the cards they are. Stardust was the last one to fade as he and Black Rose look at their young duelist and concluded one thing before Stardust left.
These violent worlds don't deserve to have Ruby's kindness.
With Stardust gone, all who are with Ruby are Jaune and Black Rose.
"Come on Jaune," Black Rose said in a soft tone, "Let's take her home."
Jaune nodded in agreement as he began to carry Ruby bridal style and walk away with Black Rose.
"Wait!"
They stopped to look at some of the duelists who are Assault Team Beta running at them.
"Is it her, was she the one who performed the miracle with Stardust Dragon?" One of them asked.
Jaune could only nod and say "Yes."
The duelists who stand before them, formed a line as they saluted.
"On behalf of Vale, we thank her for saving the city!"
And just like that civilians cheered for the sleeping Ruby, now even calling her a hero.
"Can we have the name for her?" one of them asked.
"Yeah, her name is Ruby Rose," Jaune responded.
Cheers began to be heard from the crowd as they praised her and Stardust Dragon.
"Thank you Ruby!"
"Get well soon Ruby!"
"You and Stardust saved us!"
"We can't thank you enough for what you did!"
Black Rose began to have enough hearing their speeches as she nudged Jaune.
"Come on Jaune," she said opening a portal for them.
He gave one last look at the crowd and left with Black Rose back to Beacon with stars slowly falling down like snow.
(Remnant; Beacon)
Tensions were still high at the staring contest between the Hunters and the Signer Dragons as neither are making movements or starting to fight. But it changed when a portal opened near them. The first to come was Black Rose Dragon and following suit is Jaune holding an unconscious Ruby.
"Ruby," Yang yelled as the members of RWBY and JNPR ran to check on them.
On Ruby, she was unconscious while holding something on her hand. Jaune had bruises, charred marks, and dried blood around his mouth, nose and eyes. What happened there was on their minds. Afterwards, Black Rose took flight as she left Beacon.
When they look to where Bane and the others were, even they disappeared along with the crystal. Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood cursed in their minds when they didn't keep an eye on them. But right now, their focus is on the recovery of the two leaders.
(Reverse Remnant; Supercarrier)
"And you're sure you couldn't find anything that can help us?"
"I am sorry sir, the enemy erased all data and the only thing salvageable is the ship, some leftover arsenals and vehicles," Stukov said walking with his superior.
Walking with the lieutenant wears a removable crimson cape, dark armor with spikes, and a draconic helm with two horns like a demonic ram, a horn protruding back at the cervical area with a movable jaw capable of biting, and a gold eye visor.
"Well, I expected this to happen Lieutenant so don't worry," he reassured.
"What will happen to the girl and the world she came from," Stukov asked curious about the girl who saved the city.
"She would be no doubt be targeted for the time being, I heard from my scouts that they even put a bounty on her head," he said clenching his on that, "I do know this, I am thankful and in her debt that she and Stardust for saving the people here."
"What will be our next move from here sir," Stukov asked.
"For now we will reinforce the parameters on the worlds we have taken. With the Earthbound Immortals' return, we need to be ready for anything. I, along with the other Signer Dragons, will be here watching this world and Ruby's. In the meantime Stukov, gather your Special Forces and rendezvous back, you will be going to Remnant along with some other professionals branching from Life Stream Dragon, Black Rose, and Black Winged Dragon," he commanded.
"Of course sir," Stukov said.
"These are dark times, make sure you are discreet and don't let the enemy know what you are doing, they may have already planted a few to watch our moves," he warned.
"I shall do it with extreme prejudice," Stukov said strongly, "By the way, you wouldn't happen to know what happened to the boy did you?" he curiously.
"The one from Ancient Fairy Dragon's forces," he asked.
"Yes, I did know you and the Signer Dragons had him on a mission to obtain a series of unique dragons to bolster our forces," Stukov said with a bit of concern, "But he hasn't reported back in three days."
"I know, but you realize they are no ordinary dragons he is dealing with, but I am sure he'll get through the challenge. If not, then we'll take care of it, don't forget he is one like you," he said as they are close to the bridge.
"Every step, every card we play, we need to make them count," he said looking at his claws, "Go Stukov, fulfill your objective."
"Yes sir," Stukov said leaving the way they came from.
"And lieutenant," he said to the walking soldier who stopped to listen, "If you find anyone working under the Commander or the Earthbound Immortals, be sure to dispose of them swiftly."
"I hear and obey," Stukov made a small bow before leaving his superior.
With Stukov gone, he walked into the bridge where he spotted the fallen throne. He lifted the thing with one hand, inspecting it as it had an importance of someone who controls the ships. With ease he destroyed with his physical might and threw away like trash. The Commander may have gotten first blood, but it'll be them who will take the victory. And unlike other arrogant beings that existed in the multiverse, he won't underestimate even those that are weaker.
"The peace we continued to fight for will have to wait Ancient Fairy Dragon," he said with a surprising set of sadness now turned serious, "Now it is time for war!"
No matter how many they will throw at them, they will continue strong. They have been through hell and even deeper than ever, so what is different about this? In the end they have to fight. But this time, there will be no mercy for the enemy. For he is Red Dragon Archfiend, the demonic dragon that stole the Crimson Dragon's lust for power, the being that overpowered Thor himself.
And if anyone like Remnant would oppose them. Well then… they would be foolish to think of going against them.
To Be Continued.
Narrator: The days of peace ended long ago as dark forces emerged to claim her head, secrets one holds may reveal to be devastating. Next time on Dawn of Duel Monsters: Secrets and Reinforcements. For a call to save, death comes as well.
Fun Fact: The Earthbound Immortals are supposedly the same size of the Nazca lines. Each Nazca line that represents a beast or bird, spreads about 370 meters in length or 1,200 feet. Meaning one Earthbound Immortal must be of equivalent size, making them some of the tallest monsters to live.
Sorry, I thought they would be much taller.
