GARO Saviors of Remnant

ESKK: Well here we are new chapter let's finish up Volume 2 people.

*Insert Savior in the Dark by Jam Project

"Where there is light, Shadow larks and fear reigns"

As marking show in the world around it looking like an eye, the marking then shift around making look like a horror, before shifting into a claw.

"Yet by the blade of knight, mankind was given hope."

As the Marking shift once more they given the shape of a Makai Knight Garo that soon was given color and raise it sword to cut the shadow around, darkness surrounds as a path of glowing Makai marking show around in twisting around making looking like rings of gold.

-Yuke kaze no gotoku sadame no kenshiyo yami ni magirete...-

The marking soon vanish as the helmet of Garo show, before the scene change to a shadow of Gold holding his sword as he extended the blade and took a battle stance.

*Drum beats

The shadow move around looking like he was fighting against himself.

-Nan tatakau no ka sore wa ken ni kike-

The scene change with Team GARO, Ruby, and Jaune standing near each other soon flashes as standing in their place was Garo, Zero, Dan, Yaiba, and Gaia with Ollette wearing her Madou Robes.

As the scene shift with Gold and Aron were back to back slashing against marking or object that came their way with Jaune, Ruby, and Raymond fighting against their own foes as they came at them

-Seigi da to ka ai nado ore wa oikakenai-

Garo and Yaiba were seen fighting against Kiba as they fell from a great high within a black and white world.

Then change to where it show Garo standing alone, then Yaiba, followed by Gaia, Dan, and finally Zero.

-Yami ni umare yami ni shinobi-

Within the Makai realm show many hand light skin or demonic looking was sprouting up, up into the sky like they wanted to be set free before red eyes opened all around as Nexus in the persona of Kiba began to rise from it as he grinned an evil grin of a monster made by man.

-Yami wo kiri saku-

Gold and Ruby were seen leaning against a wall as the sky rain down upon him.

-Harukana furushimi kara uke tsumida-

Team GARO and Team RWBY were seen with JNPR as well as other Makai Teams as the Knight and priestess took to their rides and rode off into battle in the burning Vale.

-Shimeida kara-

Team GARO with Ruby and Jaune fighting against horror that came from all side and cut them all down which was followed by GARO, RWBY, and JNPR fighting against many Grimm

-Yuke! Kaze no gotoku Makai no kenshiyo-

The screen showed Pyrrha fighting against multiple foes at once all of which were human as she showed why she was the champion. Gold was soon showed fighting against Nexus which was then followed by Ruby and Cinder duking it out which led to Weiss and Ollette vs Akane and Emerald at once as then Raymond came up as he was going against Blaze and Mercury with Yang helping the spear wielding knight out. It then led to Aron and Blake going against Ico and Roman as it was an all-out brawl.

-Tamashii wo kometa-

In the Makai world as Garo, Zero, Dan, Yaiba, and Gaia were fighting the environment around.

-Ikari no wa tatakitsukete jidai ni kagayake-

GARO and RWBY back flipped away before KIBA's Knights summoned their armors becoming Kiba, Zem, and Zex while Cinder and Akane summoned forth there Maiden Powers. It was then followed by GARO and Ruby doing the same becoming Garo, Zero, Dan, and Yaiba. The eight then charged against their foes as it showed one after the other starting with Garo and Ruby, then Aron and Weiss, Raymond and Blake, and finishing it off with Ollette and Yang.

-Garo!-

As the smoke clears, a word that was scorch into the ground as Kiba and Garo clashed blades glaring at each other as Yaiba joined in against Cinder as it was clear these four were intent on defeating the other.

(Start Beacon Academy Night JNPR Dorm room)

Jaune was sleeping as you hear him snoring the night away as he seemed peaceful in his sleep. That was when Jaune's scroll on his bedside table activated as it vibrated for a bit before playing a ring tone to show he was receiving a call. Jaune woke up and picked up the phone and saw it was Ruby before answering the phone. "Hello?" He asked only to be met with static as it was loud and you could hear other noises which caused Jaune to get the phone away from his ear.

The call soon ended as Jaune looked at it. "Ruby?" He asked wondering why she would call this late at night. Next to where the phone was, was; the Makai language textbook he was loaned as Jaune had been learning the meaning behind each Makai Symbol.

(Scene Break that morning)

"I'm sure they're fine." Pyrrha said as team JNPR was walking to their transport to get to the village and shadow the huntsman there.

"You think?" Jaune asked as he was dressed in his Madou Robes.

"Probably a butt-dial." Nora said as she skipped along.

"Team RWBY has always performed exceptionally in the field plus they have Team GARO to accompany them. We should be focusing on our own mission." Ren said as he followed behind Nora.

"WE'RE GOING TO BE DEPUTIES!" Nora called a she appeared in front of Ren.

"I just got this... feeling. I, I don't know." Jaune said as he walked to the airship.

"Jaune..." Pyrrha began only for the siren from vale to sound as they looked to Vale and saw smoke coming from it. The sound soon got to the Academy as it was signaling all Huntsman to prepare for battle as the Grimm have breached into Vale. Nora covered her ears at the loud sound as team JNPR saw that Vale was in trouble big time.

"We're changing our mission. Everyone onboard." Jaune ordered as they ran to a different airship with its destination being Vale. When Ren was about to board the ship Jaune stopped him. "Ren we'll make it out to that village another time." Jaune said as Ren nodded and got in. "Take us into the city!" Jaune ordered as he got into the ship.

(Nearby)

"You don't think." Emerald asked as Cinder looked to Vale.

"Sure looks like it." Mercury said as KIBA was there with them as it was clear Nexus was not very pleased by this.

"So this was your hired help Cinder?" Akane asked as she had a whole day planned for her and Nexus and Cinder went and ruined it before it even started.

"I am hardly to blame for a subordinates screw ups." Cinder said as Blaze and Ico were retrieved by one of Nexus familiars while they were in the train.

"You don't say? That's not what I saw." Nexus said as he glared at Cinder. "We could have used this mission to not only divide the kingdoms further but also eliminate the Makai Knights and the Silver Eyed girl." Nexus said as he still wanted Ruby as an apprentice. "Just goes to show you that I should have reworked the entire plan and now we are early with less damage then intended!" Nexus roared as it was clear he was not happy.

"Cinder's in trouble. Cinder's in trouble." Akane taunted in a childlike sing-song tone as Cinder glared at the Winter Maiden serving Nexus.

"So? What do we do?" Mercury asked as Cinder looked on as in her eyes you can tell she was pissed off but more afraid of Nexus and what Salem would do when he informs her.

"That's a stupid question." Nexus said as he glared at Mercury. "We salvage the plan and work it to our advantage, while also ensuring our cover here." Nexus said as it was clear he thought this through.

(Back in Vale)

A Taijutu roared as Team RWBY and GARO were surrounded as they held there weapons at the ready. "Hey Ruby remember how I was working on Crescent Thorn?" Ollette asked as she looked to Ruby.

"Yeah." Ruby said as Ollette smirked.

"Time to bust it out!" Ollette called out as Gold then took out his scroll.

"Alright let's ride!" Gold called out as Ruby did the same with her scroll and together she and Gold got the coordinates in.

Soon two large Grimm charged at them as then out of nowhere the rocket containers landed and from it two motorcycles were shot out as Ruby saw her new ride as it was similar to a Harley Davison as it had the engravings Crescent Thorn Blooming as Gold saw his Bike The two then ran to their bikes before getting on and putting Zaruba and Eclipse at their normal slots as Eclipse chuckled.

"Listen to that purr." Eclipse commented as the motorcycle was clearly one to be loved.

"Come on!" Gold called out as it was time to ride.

The snake Grimm roar out as all the Grimm around started to charge, as Ruby then acted first revving her bikes engine like Gold did and popped a front wheelie before spinning around on the front wheel using both her scythe and the back wheel to shred he Grimm attacking her. Yang went charging in as she gotten on one of the Grimm's face before jumping in the air using her gauntlets as thrust that shot her into the air, and she keep blasting away at the Grimm's below, but fail to notices the ones flying at her, as she hear them but too late as they grab her messing with her flight plan and let go of her, and she fell to the ground making a small creator to her size.

Grimm surrounded her as she did get herself stuck a bit, as they were about to pounce on her, Raymond came in stabbing a few, and arc slash to a small group that came at him. Next thing as the Grimm surrounding him charged, and he stab his stamp into the ground and then grab on as he spin around and around kicking every Grimm that came his way.

Then Gold was next as he rode in on his bike as he then got up and jumped off before he began punching Grimm left and right causing their heads to smash before a few hybrids charged at him as Gold punched it in the face as he then jumped back. "Zaruba!" Gold called as Zaruba then rode in and bashed into the Hybrid allowing Gold to jump back onto the saddle.

Ollette began flinging her bayonets at the Grimm stabbing them all over while using her twin gins to shoot them up as the traditional Makai Alchemist fire arm was always a revolver to allow for quick and easy reloads as she fired at the Grimm that came her way. Ollette then kicked a few before shoving a rocket launcher into the mouth of an Ursa before firing which caused the Ursa to fly off and hit the wall exploding from the rocket Ollette fired.

Blake was fighting against a few Grimm's around her as cutting them with her weapon or bashing them with her sheath, then turn her weapon into gun mode and fire at the incoming Grimm's.

Aron was next as he used his Semblance and guns to fire up the Grimm and tear them to shreds while also kicking and slashing at them showing he was not holding back as he then fired a Grimm that came at Weiss from behind as Weiss saw this. Aron did a salute to her as Weiss smiled at her boyfriend which then brought Aron back to reality as he then fired at a Grimm coming up next to him without even looking at it.

Weiss was slashing at the Grimm that came near her, without moving from her spot, as she slash, jab, stab, and hit away them, soon summon a glyphs below her as it summon a bigger weapon made of ice and copy her strike, as her attack with a horizontal slash, the huge ice weapon did the same and took out a huge group of them.

Yang was back on her feet, as she kick up a car and punch it as a few incoming Grimm that came her way, as the card was sent through the group like they were dominos as each one fell following the other as the last one was smash into a wall.

"Ok all Makai Knights armor up because these guys won't quit!" Gold called as everyone who had armor agreed.

Gold and Ruby rode in as they then performed a doughnuts as both grinded their blades against the ground as in doing so summoned their armors while at the same time tearing apart both ground and Grimm that got caught and in turn Garo and Yaiba were on stage. Aron and Raymond were next as they then responded by summoning their own armors and in turn becoming Zero and Dan as the armors roared out showing they were ready.

Garo and Yaiba rode in as they began to tear apart the Grimm and Hybrids as Eclipse cycle form has changed looking more similar to Zaruba now as they rode by. Zaruba produced his arms and began grabbing the Grimm and either smashing them together or bashing them into the wall and on rare few crushing them outright.

Yaiba came in next as she saw a huge among of Grimm with a leading large one and a Hybrid and pulled a familiar switch on her motorcycle and in turn spinning around the group and tearing them apart with ease. Yaiba growled a beast like growl before she popped a back wheelie and from Eclipse front tire the thorn like spikes shot out once more and landed on the face of a Death Stalker which then grinded it face to a mutilated mess as the Death Stalker quickly fell silent and dead.

Zero then charged in sending as many chains as he can muster out as they stabbed, restrained, or flung many Grimm about as Weiss then came in with her Glyphs and sent ice spikes at them. Dan then came in as he then spun his spear around while also stabbing and slashing up the Grimm and Hybrids as he glared at them before jumping up and stabbing one in the face ending its life as well. Zero and Dan then rejoined Weiss and Yang as they four nodded and ran back in to rejoin the fight as they weren't letting the Grimm or Hybrids overrun Vale today.

Yaiba then rode off and took care of more Grimm as she and her friends and allies were handling things pretty well but they can only handle so much before they were overrun by these monsters of darkness. Yaiba then skidded Eclipse to a stop as she saw the snake Grimm creature as it roar at her, as she was about to go at it, until the sound of a boom came to her and a voice she knew well as she look up and see Nora as she was yelling, "Nora, Smash!" as she slam her hammer down on the snake Grimm's head that brought it down.

Nora landed back as her team mates gather around to the same spot she was at. As Pyrrha appeared in a flash, as she raise her weapon and said, "Let's move."

Jaune was about to say something but the team already went at the Grimm's around, as Jaune sighed as he still didn't get a team leader respect as well as he wanted. Raising his sword in the air and summon his Gaia armor, as he saw the others have their armor out as well so he thought he'll join the battle as a knight as well. Nora was up in a Grimm face as she swung her hammer around and hit it in its face as she said, "Smash!" and that's a home run people.

Ren slash at the Grimm with his bladed guns, as kill he one, then came up to another and slash it up at its chest, as it dropped dead.

Gaia came walking up and said, "So who first?" Soon a Grimm drop in behind him as he turn and saw it was a Ursa, how ironic his first kill was a Ursa horror hybrid.

As Pyrrha finish off her small group of Grimm with ease as the last one she stab in its mouth, and pull out, then looked over to Jaune armored up as Gaia as she was still impress to such a guy, as she watch him battle the Grimm. As the Ursa's claw came right at Gaia, as he pull out his arm and caught it allowing it to hit in and the force of the attack cause the two scarves of his armor to blow a blow by the wind a bit. Gaia then pushed the Ursa back with ease before he then slash his sword at it, then it dropped dead. Gaia did a small laugh and said, "I got this."

Soon came running up were Sun and Neptune as they came up and Sun said, "Nobody move, junior Detectives!" Then held up a wooden badge in a plastic wallet case.

"We have badges, so you know its official," Neptune said then shows his wooden badge as Ollette jump back from a Grimm attack and said to them, "Those are kiddy badges, and junior detectives is a little kid roll play." Ollette fire at a grim before charging forth, Leaving Neptune and Sun with their cool moment in ruin.

That was when Atlas battleship began to fly overhead creating back wind as Sun and Neptune were awe struck to the point that Sun dropped his badge. The Makai Knights saw this before an Ursa came behind Yaiba but was shot down by a gunship. Yaiba saluted the ship in respect as she then charged into the battle again. The Gunships began to open there backs as the Atlesian Knight Androids were released as they jumped out of the ship and aimed there weapons at the Grimm once they landed and began fighting.

The Grimm were being mowed down as an Ursa fell to Cinder and her teams feet as she looked to them and motioned them forward. Mercury charged in and kicked an Ursa with his shot gun boots as Emerald walked by and took out her magnum like pistols and began firing at the Ursa with them killing multiple Grimm at once but all for one as it was heavily armored and spiked showing it was smart.

It clawed at Emerald only for her to dodge and cartwheel away and transformed her weapons into melee mode as blades popped out giving them a more boomerang like look. Emerald then began slashing at the Ursa with her speed as she slashed it all over before it fell dead as Emerald smirked.

But the smirk the three shared was short lived as they saw Team KIBA walking in not even bothered by the chaos around them. "Team KIBA." Nexus began as he walked forward. "Maneuver 8515 Combination Heavenly Guardians." Nexus said as Akane then sighed.

"I hate that one." Akane said as usually the heaven or holy themed maneuvers meant they either had to protect or save someone which Akane hated a lot.

Team KIBA moved out as Akane acted first and used her speed taking down multiple Grimm at once as she had her blade out before the Grimm all fell one by one. Once that was done Blaze ran in firing at any and all Grimm as he slashed up a few before kicking one away. He then pulled out his daggers charging his Aura into them before using his semblance to get them ready. Once that was done the Grimm who were stabbed all exploded as Blaze smirked before walking to his next target.

"Even if the marrow is barren of promises nothing shall forestall my return." Blaze said quoting Loveless once more while walking away.

Ico was next as he threw his spear at a group of Grimm before spinning on the spear activating a boot knife which he used to slice up the Grimm before grabbing his spear once more using his ears and nose to determine where his foes were. Ico then swing his spear slicing up more while bashing a few with the shaft before stabbing said few with his spear. Ico breathed calmly as victory was almost there's as they needed to win this day.

Nexus was up next as he walked calmly giving the Grimm mental orders to attack him which they obeyed. When they did so Nexus used his weapon in its Masamune form and slashed multiple Grimm with just one slash as it seemed they were slashed by multiple slashes. Nexus wasn't done as he then saw large and stronger Grimm which he then brought out his weapon in its halberd form which he used to chop up the Grimm who attacked him and smirked.

Nexus then swung his halberd for his fishing rod form as the Axe blade launched out to a far off area. Nexus then yanked pulling a large car torts them which he used to smash it against the Grimm causing it to explode as Nexus smirked at them. Team KIBA's movement was precise and strategic for every move and attack was practice and exact to the point. No one made a move unless it served to further their plan in battle both short term and long term. For Nexus this was just like chess as this black prince was showing these foes were mongrels in the presence of his power.

Meanwhile at the crater a mech hand came out as it revealed a damaged Atlesian Paladin as it looked intimidating, but from its head area Zwei came out as he barked and jumped knocking down a Grimm. Zwei then looked to the sky as did Yang as she saw an airship carrying in a Vale team known as Team CFVY as with them was Professor Port with his Giga Axe at the ready. The team jumped out as Velvet and Fox charged at their opponent Coco walked calmly. Yatsuhashi was soon surrounded by Grimm as he grabbed his weapon which was a long and large orange sword with a hook design at the tip as he then swung the weapon around before slamming it onto the ground and sending his opponents flying.

Fox and Velvet were fighting the Grimm with their Melee skills as Fox looked around and saw an Ursa with spikes on its back and charged at it. He began slashing and punching the Ursa with his bladed gauntlets as soon he punched it skyward. As it came down Fox then punched it torts the Grimm where it landed, inflated, and blew up sending spikes to all the other Grimm.

Some flew at the fashion queen Coco as she knocked it away with her bag as she looked to Fox. "Nice hustle Fox. Good Job." She said as she walked torts the Grimm. Coco was soon being roared at by a Beowulf as she glared at it and lowered her sun glasses a bit as she glared at it. "You just destroyed my favorite clothing store." She began before spitting a bit to the side. "Prepare to die." Coco said ready to kill the Grimm.

The Beowulf Grimm was about to slash at coco, she just smack his claws away, and then kick it in the groin, as the Grimm wrench in pain and fell down forward in front of Coco, as she lifts her case up over head then slam it down, smashing its head on the concrete.

More Grimm came at her, as she just hit them away with her case, then the Deathstalker send its stinger down at her, at which she dodged it and fell back to her friend Velvet as she was about to use her weapon until coco said, "Hey come on, you spent all semester building that up."

Velvet sighed as she stand down with Coco stepping up again as she said, "Don't waste it here."

AS Coco flip a switch on her case it soon transformed into a mini-gun, as she took aim with it and fire upon the Grimm, tore the Deathstalker apart, and mowed the rest down.

Aimed up at the Nevermore that was flying above that seem one gotten cut in half by the rapid fire of bullets that came at it and both halves of it came down on top of other Grimm, while the other nevermore just went down behind some buildings.

Team CFVY gather together as they saw they did their part, and now more to do as they moved out and hunt down the Grimm in the area.

(Professor Oobleck, Port, and Zwei)

AS Zwei walk up to Professor Oobleck as he was fitting himself after gotten out from the mech he was in. As Mr. Port came up to him to see if he was alright, which he nodded to show he was.

A roar of Grimm caught there attention as both Professors turn to see a horde of Grimm coming at them and soon they took action as Professor Port walk up and swung his axe around, summoning a circle as which it open it halo of lights and incase him in his bulking green armor with his axe in hand as standing there was 'Beast Knight Giga', with Makai word formed behind him in flames and earth.

GIGA

Giga charged in at the Grimm's with Oobleck backing him up as he fired flames from his thermos staff and hit a few before Giga leap into the air and cut down a huge Grimm.

Coming up from behind all the Grimm that were down was Glynda, with a mad look in her eyes as Grimm came up from behind her as she smacks them away with ease to the look of it, you don't want to mess with her at this moment.

When Glynda came up to the center of the city area, she raise her whip/brush weapon as the both end glowed and pieces of concrete were flying around, and soon were being put back together, and soon a part of the city was fix as if it wasn't destroyed at all.

(Scene break)

The Grimm's were chase off by Teams RWBY, GARO, JNPR, CFVY, KIBA, CEMN and the professors that help them out as well.

Mercury and Emerald brought Torchwick into the gunship to be carried off into prison as he looked. "Oh I can't believe you caught me. You really taught me the error of my ways." Torchwick said as he looked to the teams. At Atlesian Knight grabbed Torchwicks arm as he glared. "Hey, hey watch the hat!" Torchwick called as he was brought into custody.

Emerald and Mercury walked over to the group as they smiled which Ruby returned as everyone was giving themselves a pat on the back for a job well done. Neptune and Sun fist bumped each other as all seemed right with the world. Nexus walked over to Ruby and smiled to her as Akane shared it while Blaze stuck to the side and Ico silently nodded to everyone.

But as Akane was all happy for them inside she was so tempted to kill Weiss right here and now but she chose not to know this was not part for the plan. Luckily they were able to salvage what they needed so all in all it was a job well done. Nexus kept a close eye on Ruby knowing she would be his apprentice or his meal after all the chess pieces have been moved, the dice played, and most of all he was one step closer to his ultimate goal.

(Scene Break Beacon)

Team RWBY and GARO were sitting at the cliff at Beacon overlooking Vale as they sat there enjoying the sun set. "Well we did it." Yang said with a smile on her face.

"We did it." Blake repeated before Eclipse spoke.

"More or less the Fallen Knights got away and now we are only left with more questions than answers." Eclipse said as Weiss spoke.

"If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm going to be seriously disappointed." Weiss said as Eclipse chuckled.

"A Grimm destroyed a building I wouldn't count on it." Aron said as he smirked at his girlfriend.

"Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we don't even know why they did this, or who that mystery Horror girl was." Ruby said as Eclipse looked and saw this before Weiss spoke.

"Well not every tale has a neat and tidy ending and I feel this tale has only just begun." Raymond said as he sat there with them as Gold nodded.

"Yeap but till then I need a bed and food." Gold said as he grinned to his friends.

"We don't have all the answers but a lot of dangerous people have been put behind bars, Horrors were cut down, and Grimm were also cut down." Eclipse said lazily as she yawned. "For now I think training will be for the best to cut down Horrors and for this Vytal festival." Eclipse said as soon Ruby nodded to that.

"Yeah." Ruby said as Ollette nodded.

"Anyway I'm going to get my stuff ready for the tournament." Ollette said as she was ready to roll.

"Well until then let's get some rest." Gold said as that was agreeable for everyone.

Weiss: Oh please, yes

Blake: Absolutely

Yang: I'm going to sleep forever

Ollette: I need my beauty sleep

Gold: I will sleep until summer.

Raymond: Perhaps a bit of meditating and a light read will be better for me.

Aron: I got a date with Weiss later so I got planning to do.

(Meanwhile in Ozpins office)

Ozpin was sitting in his office as he was facing out the window as on the holographic screen on his desk the councilmen of Vale were on the line. "Ozpin? Ozpin!" He called as Ozpin turned to them and faced them.

"Yes, councilor." Ozpin greeted as the Council looked.

"You left us with no choice; The Vytal Festival Tournament cannot be broadcast, let alone held, if we are unable to ensure the safety of the citizens." The Councilman said before clearing his throat as Ozpin took a sip of his coffee. "Therefore, we have reached out to the Atlas Council, and together have decided that the best option is to appoint General Ironwood as head of security for the event." The Councilman said as Atlas was also on the line.

"Thank you Councilman." He began as his face on the screen enlarged. "Our kingdom is happy to lend as many troops as it takes to ensure that this event runs as smoothly, and safely, as possible." Ironwood said as the Councilman's silhouette screen then enlarged.

"And we thank you, General." The Councilman said as Ozpin was keeping his cool.

"Will that be all?" Ozpin asked as the Councilman looked.

"For now. But after this festival comes to a close, we are going to have a serious discussion regarding your position at Beacon Academy. General Ironwood reports of these last few weeks have left us somewhat... concerned. I'm sure you understand." The Councilman said before the call ended as Ironwood was now taking the screen.

"This is the right move, Ozpin. I promise I will keep our people safe, you have to trust me." Ironwood said before the call ended. Ozpin then looked out the window before Eruba spoke.

"My things are becoming quiet troublesome." Eruba said as she looked to her partner.

"I know." Ozpin said as he looked out the window. "But it seems certain beings from the past are on the move again." Ozpin said as he felt it Solomon was in Vale.

(With Ironwood)

Ironwood on his ship looked to Beacon tower as the sun set and looked down. "You brought this on yourself." Ironwood said before turning around and heading to one of the cell doors as he had two guards stationed at it who saluted him before the door opened to reveal Torchwick without his hat. Ironwood glared at Torchwick before he began to speak. "Leave us." He ordered as the two guards nodded and left. Torchwick looked up to Ironwood as the General began to speak. "I've been informed, that so far you've refused to cooperate with the authorities." Ironwood said as Torchwick looked as he smirked.

"I know this might be hard to believe General, but uh... I'm not the biggest fan of local law enforcement." Torchwick said Ironwood looked.

"How about the world's strongest military power?" He asked as he crossed his arms.

"Hm, first impressions..." Torchwick began as he looked around his small cell. "Not great." The criminal said as he looked to Ironwood.

"I'm going to give you one chance: Who's really behind all this? And where did your boss run off too?" He asked as Torchwick looked.

"Well as for my boss well he's not a fan of Atlas for some odd reason that I can agree with so I don't know where he is since he's always pulling a vanishing trick at one place or another. As for who's behind this, isn't it obvious?" He asked as he looked to him. "You're looking at him." Torchwick said as he crossed one leg over the other as Ironwood didn't buy it.

Ironwood chuckled before walking away. "Very well then." He said as he walked away.

"What's the matter, General? I thought you wanted to talk." Torchwick called as Ironwood walked away.

"The Council has given me full custody over you for as long as I see fit. So you can make yourself comfortable. I can assure you we'll have plenty of time to... 'Talk'." Ironwood said as Torchwick looked.

"Oh, wonderful." He said before he began to laugh evilly as the door then closed.

(In Vale with Cinder and Team KIBA)

Cinder was knocked to the ground by a powerful punch as it came from Nexus as Emerald and Mercury were shocked as Cinder was currently all bruised like she was in an abusive relationship and then some as Akane was sitting nearby eating popcorn laughing every now and again. "Do you have ANY idea what you nearly cost us!?" Nexus yelled as he glared at Cinder.

"I didn't know this would happen." Cinder tried to explain only for Nexus to grab her by her neck and slam her to the wall causing her more injures as her Aura was useless right now.

"No you didn't you moronic cunt!" Nexus roared as he then slammed Cinder to the ground and then grabbed her arm and pulled looking ready to tear it off. "The Grimm should not have been noticed! That's how they found our operation! I gave you express orders to ward the place until the day prior to the operation and I want to know what wasn't it done!" Nexus roared as it was clear he was pissed off.

"I wouldn't cut in Emerald." Akane said as she watched as she had a summoned Grimm being her chair. "Compared to now Nexus isn't as angry as he can be. Right now he's holding back." Akane said as she then snickered at Cinder as Blaze glared at how Nexus was all but abusing Cinder.

"Wait holding back?!" Mercury cried out in shock as he didn't think Nexus could be any scarier.

"Please I didn't have the time." Cinder lied as Nexus then made a popping sound on Cinder's arm as Cinder cried out in pain as her arm was dislocated before Nexus yanked her back up and pinned her to the wall enough to cause even more blood and scrapes to come out. Her eye was bruised shut, her face and body filled with scratches and what may be stab wounds, as even her dress was torn up by the amount of abuse Nexus had placed down on her.

"That is a load of dog shit and you now it!" Nexus yelled as he was not putting up with Cinder's excuses. Nexus then used his semblances and pinned Cinder to the wall for a moment before proceeded to punch and beat her down before he spiked his strength and knocked her through the wall. "Your usefulness is coming into question Cinder." Nexus growled as he glared at her. "No... In fact I dare say you're actually less the useless not even a waste of space just a little shit stain on my BOOT!" Nexus yelled out as he stomped his foot down on Cinder causing her to cry out in main as she felt ribs break as she coughed out blood.

Nexus then grabbed her and held her up by the scruff of her dress's remains as Cinder looked and was wide eyed as Nexus hair, eyes, and skin became more like Salem's as his eyes were a deeper shade of red then Salem's herself as he even had the black veins to boot. "Nexus j-just let me explain this give me another chance." Cinder all but begged as her lust for power lead her here as she knew Nexus wasn't like Salem he wasn't one to forgive so easily.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand and have the Maiden Power transferred to Emerald instead." Nexus all but demanded as he glared at Cinder.

Cinder tried to think of an excuse but she had none. An excuse that she could train Emerald would easily be defeated by Akane handling the training. She went for Salem's unleashing her wrath on him was a no go also as Nexus was Salem's champion her Dark Knight and anyone who Nexus feels has performed less then minimum that should be dealt with Salem wouldn't even bat an eye in favor of Nexus. In other words Cinder had very little reasons to have Nexus let her live.

"Because if you kill me now the Maiden Power I have will return to Amber before it can be transferred and if I vanish during the festival questions will be asked." Cinder said as Nexus glared at her for a minute before he acted.

Nexus then slammed Cinder to the ground as he glared at her with hatred in his eyes. "That is a logical reason." Nexus said as Cinder just bought herself more time to try and win back favor. "But... your punishment is far from over Cinder." Nexus said as soon his shadows began to rise up as soon the souls and corpses of those he consumed began to come from them as Cinder was wide eyed at them as Nexus smirked at them as she was being dragged into the shadows by them. "Don't worry... I won't consume you yet... for now I'll let my familiars here treat you and once their done in about an hour in the real world Akane will heal you." Nexus said as Cinder was wide eyed as Blaze saw the look in Cinder's eyes fear... Cinder was afraid even more so when one of those corpses was the Original Winter Maiden Snow as well as three figures similar to Nexus.

"No... NO PLEASE DONT!" Cinder begged but she was soon dragged into the shadows as Akane laughed at Cinder's punishment.

"Have fun inside Nexus for a year." Akane said as an hour for them would be a whole year for Cinder.

"W-what are they going to do to her?" Emerald asked as she stuttered as she was afraid she and Mercury would be next.

"The basic break her, defile her, ruin her, and a few other things basic torture you know." Nexus said as he can already hear Cinder's screams from inside him as his name 'Nexus,' wasn't just for show. "But despite our losses we were able to salvage enough for this day to be a success in some ways." Nexus said as Ico then kneeled to him.

"Apologies Lord Nexus I was unable to eliminate them." Ico apologized as Nexus looked to him.

"Don't worry Ico... their appearance there was unprecedented but mainly due to Cinder's lack of foresight." Nexus said as Ico has yet to fail him and as far as Nexus was concerned this was Cinder's fault.

"Those stupid kids really made a mess of things." Emerald said as Akane looked to her.

"Yes thanks to Cinder she nearly screwed us over." Akane said as Mercury looked as Blaze growled a bit wondering how he could serve a being like Nexus who did this to Cinder who would be back in one piece in about an hour.

"Yeah. A lot of Faunus didn't make it out of those tunnels. You still think the White Fang's gonna listen to us?" Mercury said before a new voice spoke as Akane knew this voice and had her mask back on.

"No." He began as a bull Faunus walked out as he was wearing a black suit and coat as on the coat was a rose like design, upon his face was a Grimm Mask as it was obvious who it was. "The White Fang won't listen to you, but they will listen to me." Adam said as he looked to them as Nexus glared at him.

"Very well but don't fail me otherwise you'll end up just like Cinder but on a more permanent state." Nexus said as walked over to Adam and glared at him right to his eyes. "Are we clear Mr. Taurus?" Nexus asked as he glared at Adam.

"Crystal clear sir." Adam said as he rather stay on Nexus good side considering he singlehandedly wiped out an entire White Fang sect in Vacuo simply because they were in his way.

"Good." Nexus said as they began to take their leave.

(Scene Break that Night)

Yang was walking through Beacon as you could hear the sound of wind chimes as she soon arrived at the fountain where the masked figure from before stood in her path as she looked at her. "Who are you?" Yang asked as she looked to the woman.

It was silence at first as the masked figure then took off her mask as her violet eyes soon saw a mirror of herself but with black hair as Yang's eyes soon turned red. "Yang. We have a lot to talk about." The woman said as Yang was shocked as to who she was seeing.

(Back in Vale)

Solomon was on his chopper as he glared at Vale from a parking spot as he knew Ozpin and his possible rival was here. "Ozpin looks like we'll be meeting again old friend." Solomon drawled as he then revved the engine and drove off to begin his assignment and his hunt for the Last Heiress to Yaiba.

(Back at Beacon CEMN Dorm Room)

Cinder was back in the real world in bed recovering from the torture Nexus put her through. She was wide eyed as Akane had already did the physical healing and had Emerald deal with mental healing but Blaze saw the state Cinder was in. He saw his baby sister wouldn't even blink as Nexus made sure she can be recovered in time for the tournament. But Blaze got the report from Akane of Cinder's condition, Nexus told his Familiars to do whatever they pleased with Cinder and they did as told and needless to say Blaze wanted to kill Nexus now more than before.

It wasn't what they did to Cinder that was the problem it was what they didn't do to her that angered Nexus. She was basically raped, tortured, stabbed, beaten down, and many more as Nexus made sure no scars would be left save for the mental ones as Blaze glared at this. "Dammit." Blaze cursed as he swore so long ago he'd protect Cinder his sister but he failed her the worse way possible.

Blaze was about to take his leave before Cinder reached out and grabbed Blaze's arm as she looked to him with fear etched deep in her eyes as Nexus made her feel completely powerless as tears stained her face from the ordeal of what was basically one whole year. "P-please... kill me." Cinder begged as Blaze was wide eyed as he then hugged his sister as she began to break down as Blaze hated Nexus. It was one thing to desire to surpass Nexus but the minute he did this to Cinder Blaze knew it was personal now.

Blaze shushed her gently trying to calm her down even rocking her body with his hoping it would calm her down. IT worked as once Blaze saw she was calmed down he looked and saw Emerald there as he let Cinder sleep. "Take care of her till she recovers." Blaze said calmly in a flat tone as he took his leave of the room as he hated Nexus he hated Nexus for being everything he wanted to be. As Blaze left he refused to shed tears but knew one day he will beat Nexus and take his place he had to have a weakness Blaze just needed to find it somehow.
