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 Thirty Five, Unbounded Wrath.

-Remnant, Anima, Argus, Cliffside-
BAM!
CLANK!
BAM!
CLANK!
The sounds of metal and gunshot rang across the forest as the two members of Team RWBY, the 'Y' and 'B' continued their assault on their opponent, utilizing their own weapons, in the case of Yang, and the broken remains of their own weapon, in the case of Blake, to keep the insane faunus on their guard.
That opponent being a tall man with short auburn hair that spikes backward in a windswept fashion and had traces of brown streaks, blue right eye and bloodied left eye with a gray iris, a deep red SDC logo branded to the left eye, two reddish-black horns that seemed to be slanted near the back, wearing a form-fitting long sleeved double-breasted black and gray leather tunic jacket sporting a red interior lining and two-layers of flares that hung the entire bottom of his jacket around his thigh, black cuffs, a red wilted rose emblem surrounded by several white nightshade stem and flower sigils on the back of the tunic, a black rounded collar that went up to the shoulders, a gray zipper for his left breast pocket, two gray zippers on the sleeves, black gloves that expose his wrists, gray dress pants, a maroon belt on the right thigh, two maroon crisscrossing belts with a deep red sword hanging on the left hip, a black and red-lined drape with red thorn sigil on his right hip, red-soled black shoes, and holding a black sheath in his left hand, who tried to get in a single hit and kill the human and her 'treacherous' ally.
This was Adam Taurus, former High Leader of the White Fang and currently the most insane mass murderer of Remnant, and he was trying to kill his former partner for her treachery.
CLANG!
"AH!" Blake cried out as her aura shattered, falling off the waterfall's cliffside as she held onto dear life on it's ledge.
"Blake!" Yang yelled before quickly turning towards the mad bull faunus and glared at him.
"Moment of truth, Yang. Do you think you're faster than you were at Beacon?" he said with a frown, only to smirk seeing the blonde's distress. "Me neither."
As the faunus unsheathed his blade, which was crimson red, and charged towards the blonde, he was able to swing it but found the blade had missed and the blonde rolled to the side, causing him to quickly kick the girl twice before doing the entire song and dance routine again.
All the while, Adam became angrier and angrier with every miss, which made him ram the blonde hard in the chest, knocking her down before she rolled away to a safe location.
"Ah…ah…ah…"
"Your aura's bound to be running low." he frowned before moving towards Yang, his blade itching for blood as Blake began to pull herself up from the cliffside. "Hit me already!"
As Yang quickly dodged the next two swings, Adam started to realize something in the midst of battle.
Yang was wearing him down, trying to look for an opening to strike.
'So that's her game.' he thought before getting an idea. "I think I understand why she stayed with you."
Yang raised an eyebrow as Adam chuckled, swinging his blade with less force then she had anticipated.
"You literally thought that Blake would fill the gap between you and your mother?" he said while Yang's eyes flashed red. "Oh I know everything about you, about how your mother left you alone and even after finding her, left you to stew in the wound I gave you."
'Don't let him get to you.' Yang thought while Blake raced behind Adam, grabbing her weapon from the ground in the process. 'He's just trying to piss you off.'
"Well." Adam smirked as Blake jumped towards him, moving in for the kill.
SQUISH!
And just like that, Blake found herself impaled in the neck by Adam's blade, blood dripping from the ground as Adam pulled back and used his sheath to fire a bullet into her head, killing her instantly.
"BLAKE!"
"She will never fill that hole." Adam smirked before quickly charging his semblance, just as Yang's body glowed brightly with yellow energy.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Yang roared in fury, her plan dashed away and her mind entering a primal rage unfelt since the Fall of Vale itself.
SWISH!
And in an instant, the world dyed with red and black, Yang's head came clean off of her body, Adam smirking with glee as the head rolled off the cliffside.
SPLASH!
And sank beneath the sea, ending the Branwen line permanently.
"And with that, shadows fall." he said, a dark chuckle forming from his throat as he began to cackle, then laugh at the victory.
But as Adam, laughing with maniacal glee at the deaths of his enemies, wasn't looking, he didn't see the airship right nearby or the fact that a certain Silver Eyes saw the entire scene play out before her.
"No….no….NO!" Ruby cried out in anger, her eyes glowing bright silver as she got out of her uncle's grasp and jumped right towards the cliffside.
"Ruby, wait!"
"NOOOO!" she screamed before all the pent up emotions and anger towards Adam Taurus was expelled in a violent bust of 'eye beams', which moved at lightning speed towards the faunus.
ZIZZIZZIZIZIZIZ!
"AHHHHHHH!" he screamed in pain, the energy causing his body to catch on fire as he dropped his sword, the Silver Eyes landed on the ground and continued to bombard him with her 'controlled' power.
"YOU TOOK EVERYTHING!" Ruby roared while Adam's semblance began to manifest around his body, glowing red as the energy input became uncontrollable to his own burning body.
"AH!" he cried as he was pushed towards the waterfall, his clothes starting to burn away as his own brand began to turn bright orange. "AHHH!"
"YOU KILLED MY SISTER!"
ZIZZZZZIZIZIZIZIZIZI!
"Ruby stop!" yelled Maria while the Silver Eyes pushed the former High Leader closer and closer to the edge. "Don't let the Silver Eyes energy corrupt you! It will not end well for anyone!"
"I! DON'T! CARE!" she roared before sending a final blast of her power at Adam, sending him off the cliff.
SPLASH!
And right into the ocean below as Ruby fell to her knees, her eyes slowly losing it's luster and eventually…everything went black.
"Ah…ah…" she panted before realizing something.
She couldn't see anything, at all.
"Huh? What…what's going on? Why can't I see!?" she screamed in horror as she tried to walk, but stumbled and tripped on her own feet, sending her falling into the sea. "AHHHH!"
"RUBY!" Qrow screamed as he tried to transform into his bird form, but before he could-
SPLASH!
"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
A massive forty story tall humanoid fish-like creature coated in deep black spiky armored plated scales with red edges, four large glowing silver eyes coated in thick square shaped bone, seven gill-like protrusions near the lower portion of the neck, two large reddish black horn-like protrusions on the sides of the head, long sharp silver dorsal spikes running down the base of the neck and down towards the end of the tail, two long arachnid-like arms with black clawed fingers, long strap-like fins on the elbows, a long triangular shaped jaw with thick black boney plating on the upper and lower jaws, two extremely long fin-like legs with thick five pointed bone-like talons, a long skeletal-like tail with a deep red point at the end, and shimmering silver scales on the shoulders and belly, appeared from the deep and-
CRUNCH!
Ate Ruby Rose, the last Silver Eyes, whole, crushing her into paste as everyone on the airship and even the giant Colossus, once it stopped looking at it's destroyed cannon arm, was caught off guard at the sudden appearance of this monster.
"Holy shit!" Nora cried out in disbelief as the monster stood up and revealed it's full size to everyone. "What the hell is that!?"
"I…think that might be Adam." Ren gulped before seeing the monster's neck glowing brightly along with its mouth. "Oh no! We need to-"
WOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH!
KABOOM!
Instantly and without provocation, the airship was instantly blown to pieces by a large beam of silver energy, sending the remains into the sea as the beam turned towards the Colossus and slashed it in half, blowing it up in the process along with several miles of ocean.
"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" it bellowed, seemingly satisfied in its senseless violence before turning its head towards the city of Argus, sensing something coming right towards it.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO!"
And lo, in the distance, a massive Leviathan Grimm, brought to this place by the collective negative energy of both the battle and the Silver Eyes' grief, as it walked towards the city boarders, several hundred 'lesser' Grimm flying around it as the monstrous fish creature growled in fury.
"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
SPLASH!
SPLASH!
And in an instant, the monstrous horned behemoth began swimming towards the Leviathan, fury and a need for domination fueling it's advance as the screen became coated in silver light.
WOOOOOOOOSH!
Before being replaced with blackness.

Bio: In this timeline, during the heist between Ruby's group and the Colossus, a battle raged between Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long and former High Leader Adam Taurus, one that would have allowed the two members of RWBY victory over this mad faunus. However, in the midst of the battle, Adam caught onto Yang's strategy before he threw his weapon, Wilt, at the blonde brawler and, instead of falling to her trick, manipulated the girl's rage by killing his former love in cold blood, just to allow Yang to slip up and be beheaded by his blade. Rejoicing in this victory, he never realized that Ruby Rose, the last of the Silver Eyes, saw the entire event after her battle with the Colossus and, fueled by rage, released the full destructive power of the Silver Eyes onto Adam, sending him right into the sea at the cost of becoming permanently blind in both eyes. But, instead of killing Adam, the energies of the Silver Eyes was absorbed into his body and overloaded, transforming him from a simple faunus into a massive unintelligent monster with the power to destroy anything in its path, eating Ruby Rose and destroying both her group and the Colossus before attacking Argus, wiping out everything with its Silver Eyes powered breath. Knowing nothing but death and destruction, it hazed Remnant to the ground as all life was extinguished by its powers…and to think, all of this was possible due to a sudden change of tactics. But now, shadows fall upon the world and no one will be around to lionize anyone.
