Garo Saviors of Remnant
ESKK: Two for one in chapters again. Anyway let's continue this ok.
*Insert When it Falls RWBY OP 3
The song began with a slow piano score as from it a red rose petal began to fall from the sky where Remnant's moon could be seen. As it slowly but surely fell it landed on a blooming rose as it was peaceful but the night was not for the night the Horrors ruled.
-Maybe red's like roses?-
When the guitar hit an Ursa was seen as it ran across destroying the flower as it ran across the land with a Horror riding its back. With the Grimm and Horror was an army of them from creeps to even Beowolfs as they were all accompanied by Horrors.
-Maybe it's the pool of blood! The innocents will lay in When in the end you've failed to save them?-
The screen began to change between Team RWBY, GARO, SSSN, JNPR, CMEN, and KIBA as behind the teams with Makai Knights were the armors of said Knights before the screen focused on Nexus, Akane, and Cinder as their eyes were starting to glow to show their own power.
-Their dying eyes! Are wide and white like snow! And now they know the cost of trusting you is obliteration!-
The screen went back to the army of Grimm and Horrors as they entered Beacon as the Horrors stopped to either possess any stray humans or for a quick snack on said humans as soon the Grimm, Hybrids, Horrors were upon Beacon Tower itself.
-Mirrors will shatter! Crushed by the weight of the world!-
The screen showed the Grimm and Horrors were at the window itself where Ozpin and Glynda were looking at it. But as Ozpin looked to the mirror he saw the past, four Makai Knights clearly identified as Garo, Yaiba, Bolg in its silver form, and Lord as the Makai Priestess with them looked like Salem but in a human form as behind her with a hand on her shoulder like a father to his daughter was a fifth Knight known as Kiba. Then the Window like mirror shattered showing James with his Atlesian forces on his airship.
-The pillars collapse in shame-
The screen then showed Aron, Blake, and Weiss walking as the trio were in what looked like Forever Falls but as they walked they soon looked and saw Adam with the White Fang there before his form shattered to revealed Jacque Schnee there but his eyes were showing Horror Markings as behind him was the shadow of a large Horror glaring at them. The scene then shattered revealing Akane as she was sitting on a combo of the CEO desk for the SDC and the throne for the White Fang as on either side of her was the White Fang's symbol and the SDC symbol showing Akane controlled it all.
-There'll be no rest! There'll be no love! There'll be no hero in the end who will rise above-
The screen then showed the Beacon people as Team's GARO, RWBY, JNPR, and the Atlas Soldiers lead the charge against an army of Grimm and Horrors who were being led by Nexus and Team KIBA as Gold and Nexus glared at each other before sliding to a stop and trading a crimson red and shining gold punch at each other causing he scene to change.
The screen then began showing Team's RWBY and GARO going against Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, and Adam and Team KIBA as they were in a major battle. Raymond and Yang were fighting against Mercury and Blaze. Blake and Aron were talking on Adam and Ico as it was clear this was an intense battle. Then it came to Weiss and Ollette as they took on Akane and Emerald as Weiss was trying to desperately save her half-sister from the darkness she was in. Trying to show the human Faunus hybrid that there are those who care about her but Akane wasn't listening as it may be Akane was too far gone. Finally it was Gold, Ruby, and Jaune vs Nexus, Solomon, and Cinder
-And when it ends! The good will crawl! The shining light will sink in darkness victory for hate incarnate misery and pain for all!-
The scene then began showing Qrow and Winter as with them was Ruby and Weiss as they left as from Gold was Lockwood another Makai Knight who had a cigarette in his mouth as the one who taught Gold got between the two to split them up before a photo flew in. On the Photo was an image of Team STRQ as the image zoomed in on Qrow's weapon's gears as soon the scene changed.
-When it falls!-
The song began to come to an end as it showed Team GARO, RWBY, and JNPR holding hands while falling downward before they were forced to split apart as the teams were being divided. But Gold look downward as Ruby was worried as she then glared seeing Nexus, Cinder, and Solomon there as Jaune saw this as well as did the rest of Team GARO as with the evil trio was the rest of KIBA.
Gold then flew downward faster as he then summoned his armor becoming Garo as the same could be said for Ruby and Jaune becoming Yaiba and Gaia. Nexus, Solomon, and Cinder all saw this and returned the favor as they jumped upward as Nexus and Solomon summoned their own armors becoming Kiba and Bolg as the two went at Garo and Yaiba while Cinder went for Jaune as when their blades clashed there was a huge flash of light.
Soon the screen showed the Madou Rings, Amulets, Brooches, Bracelets, and a scroll with what may be Penny's head inside it. The screen then showed GARO and RWBY sitting in a circle as the image circled around them as it looked almost sad for some reason. Soon the song came to an end as the image of Garo and Kiba appeared glaring at each other as with it was Yaiba and Bolg doing the same as it was clear this was only the beginning of things.
"GARO SAVIORS OF REMNANT"
(Start Ruby)
We see the Grimm Dragon flies past the hijacked Atlesian Airship, as Ruby Rose looks on, with the surrounding Griffons roaming the skies. A Griffon lands on the airship, but Ruby easily cuts it down with Crescent Rose, causing to disintegrate into black particles. But suddenly, she hears a snap, turning to see Neopolitan, now changing into her standard attire with a wave of light washing over her from bottom to top, as she winks after taking a picture of Ruby, sending it to a certain crime lord with a text Message.
(With Roman)
"You can't be serious." Roman said as he got the text that said "Guess Who," as he then grabbed his phone and walked off to deal with Ruby.
(With Blake)
Blake slowly walked backed away from her former mentor as he said, "Running away again? Is that what you've become my love? A coward?"
Blake never wanted to face him again, as her fear build within her, to the conflicted within her, barely can stand to be near him but asked him, "Why are you doing this?"
"You and I were going to change the world, remember?" Adam bring up the past as he look down to Blake as he went on saying, "We were destined to light the fire of revolution!"
Adam raise his foot and slam it down on a person who was helpless against him as Adam said, "Consider this the spark."
Blake eyes widen to the to what Adam was about to do as he drew his sword and raise it over the helpless person about to stab him to death, as he brought the sword down, Blake rush at Adam drawing her weapon and counter against his as their blades spark against each other.
As Blake had trouble standing against Adam as it look he was barely trying at all, but Blake did manage to say, "I'm not running!"
Adam lean in and said, "You will." Soon kick her down as a Grimm came in the building, and saw Blake on the ground, stunned by Adam, the Grimm charged at Blake about to kill her, as Blake did try to get up she wasn't quick enough to move out of the way. "But not before you suffer for your betrayal, my love." He smiles and begins walking towards Blake as the Ex-White Fang Member in turn stood her ground against Adam.
(With the teams)
Velvet was down as her camera box was not too far away. But she was soon hit again and rolled as the teams of the four schools battled the Grimm and Horrors as even Team JAMM had joined the part. Gold of course was cutting his way through the Horrors as Reese and Neon froze a paladins feet giving Weiss an opening only to be hit by the mech.
Nearby Akane and Weiss were going at it as the two half-sisters were clearly not holding back. Weiss so she can hopefully save her sister from herself and Akane so she can start ending the nightmares that haunt her dreams. Nearby Akane's Summoning was battling Ollette's Django Madou Mech as the machine hoisted the twin pistols in holsters in the back area before taking out a combat knife ready to get up close and personal.
Aron and Ico were battling as Aron fired at Ico who had some strong Aura as he then kicked at Ico who blocked it only to be fired at point blank range by Aron as the two ended up pushing each other back. Blaze and Raymond were battling as well as now they had a face to put with the masks they can begin hunting them down for all those they had killed as Raymond wasn't about to let these violators of the highest order get away with this chaos.
"Die!" Akane roared as she fired a magic blast at Weiss as she was knocked back by it as Aron saw it.
"Weiss!" Aron called out only to be hit by Ico as he was knocked back by his attack.
Yatsuhashi tries to hold back a Paladin's fist with his sword, but he gets knocked back. The Paladin then turns to and starts approaching a distracted Lie Ren. Gold then saw Ren was about to be hit as he quickly acted and jumped torts Ren. "Heads up!" Gold called as he blocked an attack with his gauntlet arm and growled trying to push the foe back with his strength.
Gold then roared out as he pushed the Paladin back and proceeded to punch it away as he looked around. "Where's Yang when you need her?" Gold asked as he hoped Yang will get here soon.
Coco and Neptune fire their weapons at the Paladin, but it is unfazed.
Neptune sweat drops. "Uh, this is bad." Neptune said as nothing they did worked.
Coco looked at the Rabbit Faunus. "Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!" Coco called out as she knew it was now or never.
"Really?" Velvet asked excitedly seeing her moment to shine.
"Just make them count." Said the leader of Team CVFY.
*Insert I May Fall
"Dammit." Akane cursed as she knew she had to work fast as Aron sent a chain to Weiss and she saw it before she took it and in turn Weiss was flung to the group as Aron was flung with Raymond as the two had gotten to Django to regroup. "NO!" Akane roared as she wasn't going to let Weiss escape.
Velvet came up as she reach her arm out as a hologram image came forth from her original camera weapon, as the first holograms not only seem to take photos of weapon, but make them for Velvet to use as first came Ruby's Yaiba Rose.
"Photo light copies," Raymond said with an impressed tone as Coco nodded and said, "Yea, velvet weapon wasn't just a camera, it captures and copies weapon with their use of functions but even those are limit as they are just holograms copies. It's funny how she got a photo of Ruby old scythe before it was destroy, never knew how she took it."
Velvet then began her fight as she imitates Ruby's overhead spin, landing on top of the Paladin as she dodges its cannon fire. She then replicates Myrtenaster to deflect the Paladin's punch and land a few blows before pushing it back with the Ember Celica imitation. Once after she lands a few shots, she slides under the Paladin's fist, similar to Blake as she uses the Gambol Shroud copy and uses its string to trip over the mech, before moving to the second Paladin by lopping off its hand, and jabbing it in the head with the cleaver. Before it can react, it is immediately peppered with imitation bullets, thanks to copying Coco's minigun.
As it moves forward, Velvet switches to using Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang as a reference, as she lands another few hits while landing a downward blow from above with a copy of Magnhild, severing a limb. As the first Paladin attempts to recover, Velvet immediately copies Penny's swords, as she leaps off the second Paladin and slices apart its legs before blasting it at full power.
Velvet wasn't done as she then began using the members of Team GARO's weapons as first she began with Gold by swinging the large copycat Garoken around as the Paladin was knocked down before it the axe part of Aron's weapon stabbed into it before it was fired upon from different angles by the copied weapons before she proceeded to stab the bayonets of it into the Paladin. It was then followed up by Raymond weapon as she began to everyone's surprised duel wielding the two weapons as it was clear Velvet had almost everyone weapons in her little arsenal.
However, the first Paladin sucker punches Velvet.
"Aah!" Velvet gets sent hurling to a tree knocked out.
Coco's eyes widen. "Velvet!" Coco cried out in shock as she saw this. She along with Neptune, Reese and one more teammate began firing at the Paladin to give Velvet cover as Weiss was wide eyed. Weiss saw Akane laughing as she then saw Ico was standing atop the Paladin defending it as it was clear he was not screwing around.
Aron then put his hand on Weiss' shoulder and smiled to her as Weiss saw this. "Together." Aron said as Weiss agreed as the two then charged in to turn the tides again. They ran as fast as they could torts the Paladin that had Ico and Akane on top of it. As they ran Weiss instinctively uses a summoning glyph, confusing her as Aron was unintentionally using his Aura chains as they began to melt together as they both saw this and then between them they saw a phantom image of Zero riding a Madou Horse before vanishing as they had an idea.
Weiss then roared out summoning another Glyph as they got between the Paladin and Velvet. Aron then roared out sending his weapons at the second Glyph as when it did they almost magically created the summoning circle for them as soon Weiss closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she discovers she summoned the upper half of the Giant Armor she fought before but it now had chains wrapping around its body, who blocks the Paladin's fist. Aron then used the first to jump upward as when he was over the circle he spun forward so his feet was facing downward. Aron then did a drop kick to the portal Glyph combo and in turn burst through it shattering both portal and Glyph as light began to form around him as he kicked the Paladin away and appeared behind it.
When Aron did this he reached out his hands as the two blades spun torts his hands awakened as soon his head was covered in the light with the sound of armor moving. Then Aron and the Giant Armor went forth and cut the Paladin in a cross formation with Aron sending two slashes across as the Armor cut the Paladin in half. Weiss then looked to Aron and was shocked as the armor of Zero had changed now.
The major things to notice was it began to look a tad bit like Gold and Ruby's armor as at the belt area was a cloth like scarf that had charms of sorts hanging off it as around the neck was a huge scarf that seemed to have the Schnee symbol on it. On the back was a combo of Weiss's own Emblem and Zero's Emblem as it was clear Zero had become stronger thanks to Weiss as the armor had blue energy flowing through the veins.
"Zero that was reckless but worth it." Silva said as she saw Zero had changed to a new form.
"Yeah I think I'll call my own personal Zero form..." Zero began but Weiss cut him off.
"Your next line is going to be... Zero Schnee Vanishing Line!" Weiss cut him off as Zero didn't hear her.
"Zero Schnee Vanishing Line!" Zero said as he went wide eyed as Weiss smiled as the new Zero form.
"Damn I love you." Zero said as Weiss smiled with a smirk.
"I know." Weiss said as soon they forgot two people.
*End OST
Soon they heard the roar of Akane as they look in time to see Akane attacking as Zero quickly blocked the attack as Ico then summoned his armor becoming Zem as he clashed with the empowered Zero as the two glared at each other. "Focus on the things around you!" Ico scolded as his armor once more shifted into its wolf form with the violet veins glowing once more.
Weiss quickly acted and blocked another attack from Akane but Akane began overpowering the weakened Schnee only for a new voice to be heard. "Hey Blood Whore!" Yang roared out as soon Akane was blindsided by a powerful punch from a very angry Yang as she glared at Akane. "Don't, you touch my, friends!" Yang growled as her eyes were glowing red as she glared at Akane who began to get up and saw she had a sliced lip.
"You fucking bitch." Akane growled as soon Ollette was heard roaring out.
(Ollette)
Ollette was control her Madou Mech as she wasn't out of the fight just yet as she was finishing off Akane's summoned Grimm. "Just fucking die!" Ollette roared out as he wasn't going to have any more of this shit.
(Battle)
Django then stabbed the knife into the Summoned Grimm's neck before twisting and slicing through it as it proceeded to throw it at an oncoming Paladin as the Paladin knocked it away. Akane smirked as she saw it coming as Zem and Zero saw it as well. "You have got to be kidding me!" Sun complained as he had it with the Paladins already even though they had their own fighting by their side now.
(Meanwhile with Ruby)
Ruby was battling Neo as she used the Yaiba scythe knowing she had to be careful seeing as Neo wasn't a Horror of any kind. Ruby slashed while the Yaiba Scythe while Neo bashed and stabbed with her parasol as both sides attempted to end the other. As she fought Neo jumped away before out of the blue Roman appeared and fired at Ruby. Ruby quickly used the Yaiba scythe blocked the attack and then deflect it as Roman was impressed. "Little Red, Little Red... You are just determined to be the hero of Vale, aren't you?" Roman said as he slammed his staff to the ground.
"Do you know what you're doing? Without these ships, the Grimm will keep attacking vale, and the horror will just keep coming!" Ruby said to the bowl hat guy as he wave his cane around and said, "That the plan!"
Roman was about to do a quick shot at Ruby, trying to get her by surprise but fail, as Ruby deflected that shot as well back at him.
Neo came up from behind Ruby jumping over her as ruby try to slash at her, and hit her back, and soon the two engage in combat for a little bit as Ruby manage to push off the criminal psychopath.
Neo and Roman stood by each other as Ruby question to Roman, "But why. What do you get out of it? You most likely are going to get eaten by the horrors!"
"You're asking the wrong questions Red. It's not what I have to gain. It's that I can't afford to lose!" Roman yelled as he knew Nexus wasn't going to take failure very lightly.
Ruby then charged forth, but Neo vaults over Roman for a powerful kick. She then leaps up, grabs Yaiba Rose, and slides under, flipping Ruby once more with the hook of her parasol. As Ruby spins midair, the pint-sized powerhouse finishes with a roundhouse to the abdomen, as Roman slams the barrel of Melodic Cudgel to the ground and fires, causing the cane to ricochet and hit Ruby, before catching it and firing the weapon once more over his shoulder. The blast is enough to send Ruby holding on for dear life, with the embedded blade of Yaiba Rose the only thing preventing her from falling.
"I may be a gambling man, but even I know that there are some bets you just don't take." Roman said as he knew betting against Nexus was a losing bet regardless of the odds. Neo then extends her blade and drags it on the surface, as she holds Ruby at sword point.
"Like it or not, the people that hired me are going to change the world! You can't stop 'em, I can't stop 'em!" Roman went on smugly.
As Roman continues, Ruby kicks away a Nevermore, and notices the button on Neo's parasol.
"You know the old saying, "If you can't beat 'em-"" Roman began as then suddenly, Ruby reaches for the parasol, causing it to open and send Neo flying off the airship, leaving her with a frightened gasp as she is silently left at the mercy of the Grimm roaming the skies and the raging winds.
Roman's eyes widen in shock. "NEO!" Roman called out as Ruby had only acted as needed.
Ruby then went wolf on Roman and began biting and clawing at him before jumping away and reverting to her human form. "I don't care what you say! We will stop them and I will stop you! BET ON THAT!" Ruby roared as she then charged at top speed with the use of her Semblance and skills as Yaiba, before Roman grips Melodic Cudgel with both hands, the left hand holding the shaft, as he quickly catches the projectile with the hook end and hurls it at Ruby, knocking her away, before smacking her with the business end of the cane, ramming the weapon in her stomach, and firing another shot, sending her on her back once more.
Roman laughed again. "You got spirit, Red. But this is the real world!" Roman said as he glared down at Ruby as he then whacks Ruby with the butt of his cane, sending her back a few feet. "The real world is cold!" Roman roared out as he wasn't taking any more of her shit as he lands another blow on his downed foe, this time on Ruby's legs.
"The real world doesn't care about spirit!" He roared out but then Ruby then kicks him in the knee, causing him to lose balance as he prepares a downward strike. "You wanna be a hero!? Then play the part and die like every other Huntsman in history!" Roman roared as he then proceeds to smack Ruby with the butt end of the cane. "As for me, I'll do what I do best: lie, steal, cheat, and SURVIVE!" Roman roared out as he was in the end a survivor and a crook.
Just as Roman prepares a final, overhead swing, an Alpha Griffon suddenly appears from the sky and swallows him whole, attracted by the negativity of his rant. The roar sends Ruby back a few feet, before the two charge at each other. Ruby prevails when she kicks the beast in the head, sending it through the hull and causing it to crash. Ruby then grabs Yaiba Rose and leaps off the sinking airship, and propels herself in the air, shooting at the ground as if her weapon was a pogo-stick.
As she did this Ruby had one more friend to call as she came closer to the ground. "Eclipse!" Ruby roared out as she wasn't going to forget her lifelong friend.
(Eclipse)
Eclipse was taking a nap in the Airbus when she heard her name called as the lights on the motorcycle began to come to life. "About time even I get tired of sleeping." Eclipse said as she broke free and revved her engines before riding off to her partners summons
(With Ruby)
As Ruby fell faster to the docks she soon heard a familiar engine and smirked as soon before she hit the ground Eclipse caught her in a Doughnut form as Ruby landed perfectly on the bike. "Come on lets go after Nexus and Cinder!" Ruby said as Eclipse agreed with Ruby as the Knight revved up her engine.
"I'm by your side... partner." Eclipse said as Ruby smiled and in turn the two rode off to hunt there foes down.
(Vale)
Meanwhile Glynda Goodwitch uses her riding crop as her Madou Brush to knock back a few Creeps, while Qrow Branwen slices and blasts at a few infected Knights with his sword. Cardin Winchester giddily knocks back an Ursa with his mace, but then gets held at gunpoint by a few infected Knights. Soon Wolfe roared out as he jumped in and slashed many Horrors away as he then stabbed a Knight when he saw Cardin's situation. Suddenly, their heads are shot off, surprising Cardin at being saved out of the blue like that.
As the smoke clears, it is revealed that General James Ironwood miraculously survived his crash, albeit having his clothes damaged, revealing the right half of his body to be cybernetic. Without hesitation, he shoots down all of the infected Knights with his revolver. "This area's secure! We need to-" James began but then suddenly, Qrow's expression changes into what appears to be anger as did Wolfe as they charged at him with Qrow transforming his sword into a scythe and charges toward Ironwood. Ironwood's eyes widen in horror. "Qrow Wolfe! This isn't my doing!" James called out but the duo didn't listen.
The two continued charging, despite Ironwood's words. The general flips his gun in his hand and gets into a battle stance, preparing for the perceived attack. However, Qrow and Wolfe both leapt past Ironwood, who turns around just in time to see a large Griffon lunging at him. With one swing of Qrow's scythe, the Griffon is sliced in two and Wolfe finishing it off by setting it on fir with his Semblance Ash Tray. Upon landing, Qrow turns around to address Ironwood with Wolfe as the ladder was already lighting a cigarette with said Semblance.
Qrow scoffs to James as he was surprised James would think so little of them both. "You idiot. I know you didn't do this." Qrow said as Wolfe agreed.
"Yeah even I know you're not this crazy about security." Wolfe said as Nexus was basically tearing this city apart.
Ironwood relaxes and sighs, lowering his head and putting his hand to his forehead, while Glynda places her hand on his shoulder.
"So what now, General?" The Drunkard Huntsman/Makai Knight asked the cybernetic armed general.
"Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines. And that enormous Grimm seems to be fixated on the school. Glynda!" James began looking to Glynda. "Form up with the local Huntsman and establish a safe zone here in Vale. We need to evacuate Beacon." He said before turning to Qrow and Cole. "Qrow, Wolfe I'm leaving that up to you and my men. I still need to get to my ship." James said as they soon noticed the ship coming in for a crash as when it crashed it exploded as the four were shocked.
"Well it won't be much of a walk." Qrow said trying to lighten the mood. The Atlesian Knights were coming upon them as they were crippled but still operational as they attempted to finish the fight before they shut down.
(At Beacon)
The Auto Pilot White Fang Paladin charged at the group as the Large Knight couldn't stay much longer sense they were running low on Aura as they then vanished. As Akane was about to take unleash her Maiden Powers on these fools with Ico backing her up the Paladin soon short circuit and then fell on its face before sliding in front of the large group deactivated.
"No!" Blaze roared out as he saw this while using his shield to keep Raymond off him.
"That went better than I expected." Sun said as he was surprised to see this.
"Ok you three give up now or else!" Gold roared out as Akane glared at Gold knowing Nexus wanted him to fine him.
"How about..." Akane began as Zem began to group with her as did Blaze before Akane raised her head showing her eyes were glowing with the Maiden Powers. "NO!" She roared out releasing it before Ruby was heard with Eclipse as she then roared out and sliced through Akane by a blind spot as she roared in pain as she fell a bit only to unleash more power.
"Come on fight me!" Akane roared out only for Ico once he retracted his armor to jump in and pull her down. Ico looked to Akane with a disapproving look before speaking.
"Fall back divide RWBY and GARO and make sure the leaders make their way to Lord Nexus." Ico said as Akane saw this and smirked knowing Nexus will sort them out.
"Then unleash it Ico your Berserker." Akane said as Blaze heard this as he began to step back knowing how unstable Ico can be when he uses his Semblance.
"Of course." Ico said as he then summoned forth his armor once more as did Blaze, Raymond, and Zero as soon Zero charged at Zem.
When the attack stabbed into him Zem was heard breathing ominously and hard as blood began to spill from the wound of the Fallen Knight. "Yes..." Zem began as the veins of his armor began to turn to a corrupted red color. "Yes that is pain." Zem said as he had absorbed his Aura to unleash his Semblance as he then began to laugh as Akane smiled at them.
"You all might want to run now." Akane said as then Zem roared out and launched everyone back as Ruby shielded herself.
"Of crap." Ollette said as he then fired at Zem with Django only for Zem to take it all as his injuries would have been fatal without his armor but he took it all and laughed it off as if the pain didn't even phase him.
"Berserker." Dan said as he saw this as Goruba did as well.
"Damn everyone scatter now!" Gold ordered as soon Zem charged again as he laughed even more as it was clear whatever being was there was not answering as he was relying on pure instincts now.
Weiss tries to run but Akane blocked her path as Ollette saw this just before Django lost his head. "Going somewhere little sister?" Akane taunted as Weiss glared.
"Not at all." Weiss said as she glared at Akane.
"Yang go find Blake she went after an Alpha Grimm and some members of the white fang!" Dan called out as he looked to Yang who nodded.
"Got it!" Yang said as Ruby and Gold saw this happen.
"Ruby you and me will find any survivors we have the wheels for it." Gold said as Ruby nodded.
"Right." Ruby said as they then drove off as Yang went to find Blake.
"I guess that just leaves us then." Zex said as he pointed his sword at Dan as Dan spun his spear in response.
"Yes it does." Dan said as the other teams went to find any stragglers or survivors.
"Why do I get the crazy one?!" Zero roared as no matter what he threw at Zem he just kept coming despite the injuries he was sustaining.
"Focus!" Ollette roared out as she fired the Cross Punisher at Akane who was blocking it with her Maiden Power.
(In the Vault)
In the Beacon vault, an elevator opens up to reveal Ozpin, Jaune, and Pyrrha. The three immediately sprint out of the elevator and down the corridor.
Jaune looks around in surprise and curiosity. "What is this place?" Jaune asked as Penny knew what this place was but Pyrrha answered instead.
"It's... a type of vault." Pyrrha said as she looked away from Jaune.
Jaune looked at her. "You've... been here before?" Jaune asked as Pyrrha was in turn silent on this. "What would this school need to... hide?" The Blond Knight was about to get his answer. Finally seeing the Aura transfer machine, Jaune stops in his tracks, gazing wide-eyed at the strange contraption and the comatose girl inside. Jaune couldn't grasp on what's going on. "What? Who?" Jaune asked as he saw the girl inside the pod.
Pyrrha sighed as she looked away. "Jaune…" Pyrrha said as she didn't have time for explanations.
Ozpin glanced at the Red Haired Amazon Girl. "Pyrrha! Get to the pods!" Ozpin ordered as Pyrrha then looked to Jaune, before she then runs to the second pod. "Mister Arc, if you'd like to help, you can stand guard here." The Headmaster of Beacon asked him as Jaune looks at the two with uncertainty, then turns around and gets into a guarding stance as he had the Gaia Sword ready for combat.
"What do we do now?" She asked being nervous about this.
Ozpin who was typing on the machine's hologram keyboard. "We, do nothing." Ozpin said as then the second pod opens, and in turn Ozpin turns his head to look at Pyrrha. "You, Miss Nikos... have a choice to make." The Middle Aged man said with a bit of sorrow in his voice as the Makai Knight knew it was now or never.
Pyrrha looks at the pod, then at Jaune, hesitating. Her expression changes from uncertainty to sadness, and she wipes a tear from her eye, still looking at Jaune. She then climbs into the pod, which closes.
(With Blake)
"This could've been our day! Can't you see that!?" Adam demanded in a furious tone torts Blake.
Blake grits her teeth. "I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted peace!" Blake countered as she raises her sword, its blade folding into sickle mode, and shoots at Adam, who blocks both bullets with his sword.
"What you want is impossible!" The Bull Faunus said. He sheathes his sword and backhands Blake across her face, knocking her over. "But I understand because all I want is you, Blake." Adam said as he was going to make sure when Akane was no longer needed he'll end the freak of nature with his own hands. She begins to raise her sickle again, only for him to kick it out of her hand, knocking her over once again.
"And as I set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind so greatly deserves, I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love." Adam said with a sinister grin on his face.
"Blake!" Yang was heard as she was looking for Blake. Her voice draws their attention to one of the broken windows. The Brawler was seen coming into view and shoots a White Fang member, before looking around for her teammate.
"Blake! Where are you!?" Yang called as she looked around.
Adam looks at Blake to see her terrified expression, then returns his gaze to Yang. "Starting with her." Adam said as he had no idea that Akane had thoughts of this long before Blake's betrayal.
(Vault)
Ozpin looked at Pyrrha as he closed his eyes. "Are you ready?" Ozpin asked as Pyrrha then looks at him and gives a slow nod.
"I... I need to hear you say it." He said as he needed to definite answer from her.
"Yes." Pyrrha said as that's all she said as she lays her head back, staring ahead.
Ozpin smiled a bit. "Thank you, Miss Nikos." Ozpin said as he hoped they still had time.
Ozpin presses a few more buttons on the screen, and Amber's pod raises up. Amber begins glowing orange, and her eyelids begin fluttering. The orange glow travels along the pipes connecting the two pods - first up to the ceiling, then down to Pyrrha's pod. An orange glow surrounds Pyrrha, who begins screaming out in agony.
Jaune turns around, surprised. "Pyrrha!" Jaune called out in worry as Penny can sense her new partner was in distress.
Jaune runs over to Pyrrha's pod, moving his gaze back and forth between Pyrrha and Amber's pod. While Jaune panics, trying to understand what's going on, Ozpin looks away.
"I'm... so sorry." Ozpin said as he just prayed this was the right choice this time.
Soon the doors near them burst open as from it Nexus came out as they saw it all to late as Nexus charged at Amber and then before anyone could do anything stabbed his arm into her chest causing her to go wide eyed in shock and pain as then Nexus arm moved like he was grabbing something. He then roared out tearing out Amber's beating heart as blood spewed out as he then crushed it and in turn instantly ending Amber's life causing Cinder to smirk in response as her life began to fade.
"Nothing personal." Nexus said to Amber as he looked to the shocked former Maiden as she saw her life slipping away now.
(Blake)
Adam draws his sword and stabs it into Blake's abdomen near her left hip, causing her to shriek in pain. The cry catches Yang's attention. "Huh?" Yang asked as she looked and saw this as she saw Blake was in pain. Adam stands upright, pulling his sword from Blake's flesh and turning to face Yang.
"Get away from her!" The Buxom Blond roared out in anger as she was willing to let it out for her friend's sake.
"No... Please..." Blake said reaching out for them.
Yang got angry as her hair was now burning yellow before with her semblance charged at Adam but Adam was prepared as he slashed at Yang coming up behind her as Yang was shocked. Blake was wide eyed as Yang's right arm came off as Sliver came too and saw this as he was shocked to see this as well. As Yang hit the floor she lost consciousness as Blake was in pure shock.
(Vault)
Nexus then proceeded to start consuming Amber as the torches in the vault all went out in response. Amber struggles to breathe, her eyes wide, the machine's alarm still playing. Finally, all breath leaves her. Her eyes drift closed, and her head leans to the side, her whole body going limp. The green flames that light the torches throughout the vault suddenly snuff out. Pyrrha frantically beats her fists against the glass of her pod. The orange glow leaves Pyrrha and travels back through the pipes into Amber. Once the pipes went dark Amber turned into a shriveled husk and then turned to dust much like the Grimm as soon a light shot out and avoided Nexus before entering Cinder.
The murderer glows, begins floating, and gains long trails of flame around her eyes, with orange energy swirling around her. Pyrrha beats even harder on the glass, her stress increasing. Jaune raises his sword and charges toward Cinder.
Ozpin gave Jaune a desperate glance. "Stay back!" Ozpin warned as he knew Cinder was stronger now but Nexus even more so.
Cinder casts a large fireball toward Jaune, who blocks it with his shield and is blasted backwards, landing on his back.
"JAUNE!" Pyrrha cried out in shock as she was worried for him.
Finally, Pyrrha uses her Semblance to rip the pod's door off its hinges, throwing it at Cinder, who knocks it away like it's nothing. As Cinder begins to descend to the floor, Pyrrha leaps out of the pod and charges, calling her weapon and shield to her with her Semblance. However, Ozpin puts his arm out, stopping her.
"Take Jaune and get out of here! Find Wolfe! Glynda! Ironwood! Qrow! Bring them here right away! The tower cannot fall!" The Middle Aged Wizard commanded as he knew they had to keep the tower up as long as they can.
Pyrrha shook her head. "But I can help." Pyrrha said as Nexus scoffed as he appeared next to Cinder who saw she now had power and no longer had to fear Nexus.
Ozpin slowly turns his head to stare Pyrrha in the eyes. "You'll only get in the way." Ozpin ordered as he knew what he had to do.
"Heed your elders warning your next on my list." Nexus said as he looked to Pyrrha as saw what Nexus had done to Amber. Pyrrha hesitates for a moment but obeys Ozpin none the less, scooping up Jaune and running away. While she does so, Cinder descends to the floor and watches them leave, with the glow, the swirling energy, and the flames around her eyes all disappearing. Cinder turns her attention back to Ozpin, her eyes still glowing for a moment.
"Cinder." Nexus began as he glared at Cinder who saw this. "Fall back and ensure the Dragon makes it to the Tower leave Ozpin to me." Nexus said as he glared at Ozpin as Cinder glared at him.
"No I'm a maiden now Nexus you cannot!" Cinder began before Nexus sent a large shadowed arm at Cinder pinning her to the farthest wall without warning.
"THAT'S AN ORDER!" Nexus roared at Cinder who was wide eyed at Nexus as she tried for the Maiden power but Nexus' shadow arm took whatever attack she sent forth like a black hole. Cinder then agreed and headed to the Elevator to get to the top of the tower. "Now that the pest is out of the way." Nexus said as he glared at Ozpin. "I must confess to think that this whole time... right beneath our feet smart but foolish." Nexus said as Ozpin glared at Nexus.
Nexus got ready for battle as did Ozpin as Nexus and Ozpin began to walk around each other as if sizing each other up. "You do realize despite your origins you don't have to be what they made you to be." Ozpin said hoping that he can try and connect to Nexus' humanity considering the number of times Nexus had aided Gold and the others as well as avoided killing the young.
"Your right I don't have to be... but I want to be." Nexus said as he put his hand to his weapon. "I chose this path as you've chosen yours... and in the end you've chosen wrong." Nexus said as he took a battle stance ready to end Ozpin as both were ready to summon forth there armors.
"I suppose it's to be expected then from the Dark Deities last living descendant and partially naïve of me to hope you can choose a better path." Ozpins said as Nexus heard this as did Zarathos.
'Descendant?' He mentally wandered but chalked it up for later. "I have chosen my path and nothing will move me from it or stand in my way on it." Nexus said as he glared at Ozpin.
"I see then the time for talk has ended." Ozpin said as Nexus smirked.
"I couldn't agree more." Nexus said as he then blew on his amulet as Ozpin got his blade ready. Soon the two cut open the energy circles as in turn Kiba and Lord had arrived on stage glaring at their foes before taking a battle stance.
The two then charged at each other as they both released a beast like roar as they went at each other as the final act of this part of the end game was coming to a close. And in the end only fate will tell who stands victorious in the collision of fangs and blades.
