The screen began to bubble and boil as the familiar silver door rose from it's depths, the thick purple chains corroding and breaking apart as the door opened up and bathed everything in dark purple.
From the tainted light, came a single red eye that glared at the screen before the door slammed shut and everything became static, a crumbling rose symbol appearing every so often as the title began to form.
The Ruinverse: Chapter Nine, Vengeance of Nikos.

-Remnant, Anima, Argus, Pyrrha Nikos Memorial Park-
BAM!
KABOOM!
Fire, destruction, all possible as the city of Argus, focal point between the Kingdoms of Mistral and Atlas, was burning to the ground due to the actions of the local Grimm.
Normally this wouldn't be an issue, however, something was drawing them, making them act differently then previous attacks, and with their primal strength, they were quickly overwhelming both the Atlasian forces and the local population.
From rooftop to public park, the Grimm overtook all in their path, especially within the newly created memorial park as a familiar blonde hunter was trying to survive from the pack of Beowolves that lunged towards him with aggression fueled movements.
"GRRR!"
SLASH!
The blonde, named Jaune Arc, slashed at any Beowolf that moved towards him, getting blood and deep cuts to his now auraless body as he was backed into a corner, figuratively and literally as he moved closer and closer to the park's resident statue.
The statue in question was that made of pure gold bronze and took the shape of a tall muscular woman with gold bronze hair in a waist-length ponytail that curled slightly into a loose ringlet, light bronze eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her bronze eyes, a D cup chest and small ass, wearing a bronze overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter bronze in the center, a bronze A-line mini skirt, bronze opera-length gloves, a bronze ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt, a small circular bronze plate on her right hip with an etched spear shaped emblem in its center, two bronze pouches on the left hip, a bronze belt, a bronze circlet adorned with a pair of small bronze teardrop-shaped 'emeralds' on thin bronze chains under the hair, a large bronze gorget around her neck, a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm, bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots, bronze cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees, a bronze bracer on the left arm, bronze high-heeled boots with a bronze trim that reached to her mid-calf, a long bronze javelin on her back and holding a semi circular shield in her hands, who seemed to have an expression of sadness on her face as the world around the inanimate object burned with the fires of destruction.
"Ah, fuck!" he yelled while getting clawed in the face, causing him to drop his sword and fall onto the ground in pain, the Beowolves jumping on top of him and began to bite down on him. "AHH!"
"Grrr!"
"Ara...gggggrrr!"
"AHHHHH!" Jaune screamed as his body was ripped to shreds, his blood and organs flying everywhere, including-
SPLAT!
The statue itself.
Death...it is the end...normally, but-
Creak.
Crack.
Not on this day. Today...it will be different.
The statue, now covered in thick red veins, creaked its joints, moved its now red eyes a few times, before lifting the shield up and placing it in its left hand as the right hand pulled the javelin free from her back.
For on this day.
Crack!
"Grrr?" growled one of the Beowolves before getting stabbed in the face by the javelin, the statue slowly growing in size until it towered over the highest tree like a giant.
A hero rises...but for how long?
(Elsewhere)
"Ahhh!"
"Run for your lives!"
Terror, everywhere was terror, a signal to the Grimm that their onslaught isn't at an end just yet, as hundreds of Grimm, of various sizes, shapes and power rushed towards any survivors that they hadn't turned into cadavers.
"ROAR!"
"Ahhhhh!" screamed a young girl while running away from a large Sabyr, lacking any form of ice armor like it's Soltias cousin, raced towards her with the intent to kill.
"ROAR!"
"AHHHHH!" she screamed while closing her eyes shut.
SQUISH!
The girl shivered in fear before noticing she wasn't dead and opened her eyes, revealing to her that a massive statue of the city's heroine, Pyrrha, is right near her and just stabbed the Sabyr with her javelin, the monster turning to black smoke as she felt hope filling her heart once more.
The statue creaked as the arm moved back, taking the javelin out of the ground in the process, and stared at the girl, its red eyes seemingly judging what to do with this 'small fleshy creature'.
The girl went wide eyed seeing the statue and relaxed her guard a little. "P...Pyrrha Nikos?"
It looked at the girl before raising it's left leg and-
SQUISH!
Stepped on the girl as it moved away in search of more things to destroy.
(Later on)
-Argus Docks-
Smoke filled the skies as the giant statue, imbued with otherworldly powers, began to lay waste to Argus, destroying buildings with reckless abandonment as strange constructs of stone and steel formed from the ruins to plague the citizens and its hostile invaders with their size and aggression, a strange black flame-like aura forming from their bodies as the once great symbol of Argus rained down destruction upon all.
However, as the bronze statue began to move towards the bay, it was bombarded with missiles, each one being deflected by the shield while others exploded on contact, not making a scratch on the hardened 'skin' as it's eyes glared in the direction of the attack.
And, charging right at the statue with the intent to destroy was a massive gray and bronze colored robot with a very stocky build, a clear glass rectangular 'face' like cockpit, long armored legs, a large left arm with three fingers, a massive right arm cannon with different colored rotary slots on its back, a single curved blade fitted to its back 'palm', and covered in white sea salt on its legs, whos' right arm was spewing smoke from a recent attack.
The camera quickly zoomed towards the monstrous robot's cockpit as a short fair skinned elderly woman with short silver hair, brown eyes, a C cup chest and small ass, wearing a white long sleeve navy blue cuffed uniform with a single gray line going down her left side with bronze near the collar and breast area, a dark gray collar, two small slate gray plates on her shoulders, a single gray rectangular clip over the right breast, black gloves, a long skirt that went down to her knees and exposed her gray pants, blue rectangular strips on each side of her hips, a dark gray belt and black heeled boots, sat at the controls, a look of arrogant determination on her face as she began to use the robotic automaton to fire upon the statue.
This was Caroline Cordovin, Specialist assigned to Argus, pilot of the Colossus, and right now, she was trying to defend Argus' remaining citizens from the gross parody of Argus' beloved huntress.
BAM!
BOOM!
"Taste Atlasian steel, you abomination of nature!"
POW!
Clang!
Clang!
The statue raised its shield up to block the punches before quickly stabbing forwards, only for a hard light generated shield to form around the Colossus and deflect it.
"Try and take me on! I have faced bigger monsters than you!"
BAM!
BAM!
The statue repelled the missiles fired upon it before it's body began to form a black flame-like aura and the very robotic weapon of mass destruction began to be squeezed by the black aura, its systems breaking down as the pressure of a thousand neutron stars began to break the Colossus down a few pegs.
"AH!" Caroline screamed in pain as her arms and legs were crushed by the pressure, the systems shortening out as the cockpit's glass cracked and shattered into sharp shards.
Creak.
Crack!
The statue stared at the now powerless Colossus, Caroline trying to pull on one of the levels, the left hand turning into a large drill before it was crushed by the black aura, as its lips began to creak and groan, jagged cracks forming from both sides of the jawline.
Crack.
Crack!
CRACK!
CRACK!
And in an instant of terror, the last thing before the Atlasian soldier saw before he eyes were crushed along with her organs, was the jagged jaw-like mouth, coated in red and sharpened to the tips with bronze.
"RRRRRROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHH!" the statue roared as the screen became black as night.

Bio: In this timeline, during the Grimm attack on Argus, Jaune was unable to meet up with his team in time and was attacked and killed by a Beowolf, spilling his blood upon the bronze statue of Pyrrha Nikos. But this wasn't the end for one Jaune Arc as his spirit, filled with pure anger over the Grimm and his own fate, and the lingering aura within his own blood had an unexpected reaction to the statue itself and reanimated it. Now with a mind and a semblance capable of polarizing and controlling any inanimate object, this warrior of bronze attacked everything in sight, from Grimm to humans, indiscriminately until Argus was destroyed in the process. After dispatching the Colossus and its pilot, it began to attack any city and Kingdom in its path, soon causing the destruction of civilization in the process.
