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 Twenty One, Avatar of Destruction.
Xxxxxxx
-Remnant, Menagerie, Kuo Kuana, Belladonna Estate-
Darkness. Everything comes from the darkness and will return once more.
However, the blackness of nothing slowly transitioned to a dull orange, followed by bright hues of red, yellow and amber as all around the moon filled landscape.
Everything was burning.
Burning hot ambers floated down from the rising bonfire as the many inhabitants, all faunus, were trying to scramble for water to douse the flames before it spread towards the rest of the town.
However, near the edge of the flaming inferno, a figure stood there, horrified and with fear in their eyes.
This figure was a tall pale skinned woman with short black hair, yellow eyes, large black cat ears with white fur on the sides sporting two gold piercings on the right ear and one on the left ear, a G cup chest and large ass, wearing a black shrug sporting a long sleeve on the right arm and a short sleeve on the left arm, a gold-leaf trim adorning the shrug's front opening, long black arm warmers that went to the middle finger, a purple band on the top of the left warmer, gold bangles on the left wrist, a black hakama, a black and gold sash that went behind her sporting a gold flower-shaped buckle at the end, white tabi socks, black sandals, and was covered in blood near her left shoulder and lower neck, evidence of a bullet grazing her body.
This was Kali Belladonna, and she...had just seen her world shatter around her.
As the faunus ran past her to douse the flames, the woman's mind lingered upon the events that transpired about an hour before.
It was a normal night, calm as the summer seas at twilight, where the chieftain, Ghira, the love of her life, defended his home against the very thing he created but was unable to fully dissolve, the White Fang.
It was supposed to be a simple conversation between her daughter, Blake, and her former ally Ilia Amitola, but soon dissolved into a battle between the White Fang and the Menagerie Guards. Even though they had thought the 'grunts' of the White Fang...no, Adam Taurus' White Fang, were sent to capture Blake for ransom...it was a cold and calculating assassination.
Ilia, not informed by the truth of her mission, rebelled and was killed by the Albain brothers before their death at the hands of Menagerie's chieftain. But in the process of bringing harm to the flame user, the twin, Fennec, stabbed the 'traitor' Blake in the throat, causing Ghria to enter a rage against the manipulative faunus.
But it was for not, for as Corsac's weapon fell to the ground, the Fire Dust within reacted negatively with the ground...causing an explosion that destroyed everything and sent her, the last of the Belladonnas, flying a few feet away.
When she came too...this was the result.
A burning home.
SPLASH!
"More water!"
"Hurry!"
"Look for survivors!" yelled one of the faunus while not noticing Kali due to the threat of a firestorm, given the fact that the coastal winds were strong tonight.
A ruined life.
'This...can't...be.' Kali thought while breathing heavily, her mind racing to find a logical conclusion in this sea of flames and desperation. 'This isn't real!'
An existence made hollow.
For many, death is tragic enough to break a person, but...for her...it was too much.
As the woman fell to her knees, her eyes filled with hot tears that dripped onto the sand, a single memory began to play in her own mind, constantly rewinding to the moment that eats away at one's soul.
The blank dead eyes of her husband and daughter, the irises faded and staring blankly into the void of space.
'No..no...no...' She thought while gripping the sands tightly with both hands, her presence slowly being noticed by the other faunus that nearby doused the flames in front of her. 'This...no...can't be...'
"Huh? Hey, we have a survivor here!" called out a young cobra faunus, his dull black serpentine eyes unblinking as he realized who the person was. "Wait, that's the chieftain's wife! Hurry! Someone get her out of here! She needs medical aid!"
Ziiiiiiiiiiii.
A low buzzing sound began to ring out across the area, rising in decibels as Kali's body started to glow a dull blue color.
Ziiiiiiiiiiiiii.
"Ma'am? Are you ok?" the faunus asked with concern, not taking into account that her eyes were glowing with bright blue flame-like energy.
ZIIIIIIII!
"Ma-"
QUIIIISH!
Suddenly, within the confines of a single second, a single massive blue arm, covered in flames and sporting seven thick protruding claws, erupted from the woman's back, followed by another and another and another in rapid succession as the cobra faunus was punctured in the chest by the first arm's claws.
Sssslliiiisss.
And instantly dissipated into nothing as more arms, each one covered in the same dull blue color, started to snake towards every direction, a loud buzzing sound emanating from their very presence.
"IT CAN NOT BEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!" Kali roared in anguish and pain, her guttural yet primal cry ringing across the island as the many arms began to crisscross the entire planet, dissipating everything it touched down to the subatomic level, including the very ground she was on.
ZIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
From Sanus to Vauco, Anima to Mistral, Solitas and the far-off lands of Grimm, the flaming arms wrapped around the world, numbering in the tens of millions at this point, and disintegrating everything in their path.
The camera quickly panned away as the planet began to look like a ball of dull blue instead of its lush green and blue coloration, the arms moving outwards in every direction until...
ZIIIII!
The planet disintegrated, leaving nothing but empty black space as the arms quickly shot outwards, hitting the broken moon and the burning stars with their clawed fingers, the process accelerating at an alarming rate.
From colored stars of red and white...came the blackness of nothing.
And like that…
Creation became moot.
(Thousands of years later)
-The Emptiness of the Ruinverse-
Empty void, never-ending darkness...all things lay still, silent except for the constant churning of purple dust and broken rubble, once the homes of billions, now part of the cosmic sea of ruined possibilities.
Ziiiiiiiii.
Ziiiiii.
Ziiii.
Blue streaks of light formed in the distance, followed by a sudden crack, akin to glass shattering, as the screen lit up with a bright blue flash and then…
Nothing.

Name/Designation Title: Kali Belladonna (Avatar of Destruction Kali Belladonna- ADKBRWBY)
Age: 30~40?
Affiliation: Omniversal Evil.
Dimension: - 00111010198- 11 ADKBRWBY
Abilities: Enhanced strength, speed, agility and hearing (faunus trait), limited hand to hand combat, firearm handling and knowledge, night vision, high aura pool, White Fang knowledge and tactics.
Semblance(s): Shiva (a destructive and unstable semblance capable of destroying the bonds within matter using aura-like arms, ranging from four to tens of millions depending on the aura levels. However, once the user activates the semblance, unless the user is strong willed, the semblance will turn the user into a feral animal unable to distinguish between friend and foe. If utilized in very specific situations, it has the potential of destroying reality itself.)
Bio: In this timeline, Kali Belladonna was born with a terrible yet extremely rare semblance called Shiva, which had the ability to create multiple aura-like arms capable of disrupting the bonds within matter itself in exchange for the user to enter a primal state of rage. Given her massive aura pool, this semblance became a curse later on in life and after meeting and marrying Ghira Belladonna, chose to never use her semblance in fear of its destructive powers, locking it in the back of her mind in a manner similar to a traumatizing memory. However, when Adam took over the White Fang and initiated the Battle of Haven, he sent his White Fang followers to the Belladonna Estate and, unlike canon, succeeded in assassinating Ghira and Blake Belladonna instead of capturing them. With her mind broken upon the sight of her family's corpses, she unleashed the true extent of Shiva in a destructive display of rage, destroying everything and everyone in the area as her arms multiple to tens of millions in a single moment, allowing the semblance to destroy Remnant and then the entire timeline itself in a single night. Now stuck between the void within the Ruinverse itself, she continually creates and destroys anything that comes too close to her, revealing that her rage will never subside nor will her newly found hate for life.
