GARO Saviors of Remnant

(Start Diner)

The group arrived outside and saw down the road was what seemed like a dust cloud coming straight for them as that wasn't right considering they were in the forest area. The group arrived outside as Ollette took out some binoculars as she began to see what was coming their way.

"What?" Ruby asked as she saw this as Jaune and Madou's all saw it.

"Something is coming and its not friend." Penny said as they all looked to see what or who it was.

"It stinks to high hell!" Zaruba called out as Orva saw this.

"Yes there's far too many of them." Orva said as Eclipse was sounding a bit frantic.

"Its a whole battalion of Horrors and Grimm!" Eclipse called out as Ollette saw this.

"Guys load up fast! They got trucks and shit!" Ollette called out as she then saw someone with them and gritted her teeth. "And we got some old and new faces with them!" Ollette called as Ruby saw this.

"Nexus?" Gold asked as Ollette looked.

"Yeah and seems he's brought a Alchemist with him!" Ollette called out as she saw hanging from the side of a truck and gave him a glare as she realized this. 'My search is over you bastard.' Ollette thought as she saw Watts her old teacher was here as well.

(With Nexus and Watts)

Nexus was leading the charge on Zarathos as behind him was Watts hanging off the side of the Horror infused truck as Nexus glared at his foes from behind his goggles.

(Back with the Group)

Gold was on Zaruba while while JNR got on the pick-up truck possessed by Penny with Ollette and Qrow in her car with Ruby. "Ok Ruby you stick with Qrow and the others." Gold said as he got ready to roll as the motorcycle came to life. "I'll go after Nexus." Gold said as he revved the engine as Ruby looked.

"Wait but!" Ruby called but Qrow stopped her.

"He's right if Nexus eats you we're all doomed." Qrow said as Eclipse nodded.

"For now we need to keep moving." Eclipse said as Gold nodded.

"Get to Mistral and don't stop!" Gold called as he then revved the engine and then went after the Army before him while his friends went the opposing way.

(Back with Nexus and Watts)

"Nexus old boy." Watts began as he looked to Nexus. "Are you healed up enough for this?" Watts asked as Nexus scoffed.

"I have enough strength recovered for this." Nexus said as the fact Salem was not told of this but he given the ok by Solomon Nexus knew he had the chance to strike as they rode forth. "And they are acting as predicted." Nexus said as he then looked to his forces.

(Gold)

"Heh Salem and company are really going all out huh, Nexus and an army." Gold said as Zaruba heard this.

"It makes sense considering he couldn't beat you all as is he decided to even the odds." Zaruba said as Gold understood this.

"Well then." Gold said as he then drew the Garoken out. "Lets have fun!" Gold called out as he was ready to rumble.

(Nexus)

"Destroy and kill EVERYTHING in your path! But anyone who touches the Golden Knight answers to me!" Nexus ordered as he drew his own weapon Void Gear out ready to battle with Gold once more. "But the others are free game but bring the Silver Eyed Girl alive!" Nexus ordered as he glared at Gold who glared back as they drove straight at each other.

(Gold)

"NEXUS!" Gold roared out as he ditched the luggage on his bike as he glared at Nexus who was almost upon him.

"GOLD!" Nexus roared out as he as soon the clashed their blades against each other as Gold and Nexus glared at each other before driving into the Battalion of Horrors, Grimm, Hybrids, and Horror infused machines.

(With Ruby and Ollette)

Ruby saw the clash happen as a burst of smoke knowing full well how Nexus and Golds clashes tend to turn out grateful their wasn't any possible civilian causalities. "Ollette we need to turn around Gold is going to get himself killed!" Ruby said as she looked to Ollette who was focused on the road while gritting her teeth. "Ollette please!" Ruby called out oy for Ollette to have enough.

"Shut up!" Ollette ordered while she kept driving.

"Listen to her flower girl despite these odds Gold will be right at home here. It will take more then this legion to slay the Golden Knight." Eclipse said as she looked to Ruby from her partners middle finger.

(Battle)

Gold and Nexus drove around each other through the legion while on Zaruba qnd Zarathos as they hacked and slashed against each other as during the initial stage of this tunnel they were doing a huge number on the Grimm, Horror, and Hybrids.

They glared at each other before both ended up airborne before summoning their armor mud air. Soon Garo and Kiba took the stage as they landed once more and continued their battle. Their rides had their grappling arms out while their riders kept clashing blades against each other before the Horror infused machines attacked. They send tendrils out torts Gold as he and Zaruba easily wieved and avoided the attacks with ease taking out a few Goliaths in the crossfire.

Garo then moved to rejoin the tussle taking out a few more machines infused with the essence of Horrors as soon two of them went to pin him and Zaruba between them.

Garo saw this and quickly jumped upward and stabbed into one of them before running across it's back cutting into it. But when Garo jumped out Kiba roared out as while airborne the two once more continued their clash as they glared at each other with a deep seated hatred for the other.

Nearby Zaruba was riding on taking out as many Grimm and Horrors as he could to aid Garo as soon Zarathos bashed into him saving another Horror ad the two also resumed their own clash.

Meanwhile Gato and Kiba were jumping between Horror infused machines hacking and slashing against each other while destroying more of Kiba's legion in the crossfire. Soon Garo jumped back onto Zaruba as soon it was just Kiba on Zarathos, Garo on Zaruba, and Watts on his own machine.

Garo thrn glared at the two before he once more attacked a he went for Watts and his machine only for Watts to easily port away as he jumped off. "Do tell Ollette I look forward to seeing her again Golden Knight." Watts said before he vanished.

Gato then came to a halt while glaring at where Watts had vanished very angry that he got away. He then gasped as he looked and saw Kiba revving his engine while more of his legion remained as Kiba glared at his nemesis and Rival.

"We arent done here." Kiba growled as he glared at Garo.

"Yeah didnt think so." Garo said ready to continue their rematch.

(Back with the group)

Ollette kept driving as in her car and Jaune's truck it was hard not to realize who was with their foes. "He's here." Ollette growled as she knew a reunion was upon her.

Ruby looked to Ollette before looking up and seeing more Horrors flying in as Ruby knew Qrow was still to hurt to help them which meant they were on their own now.

"Why not make this easy on yourselves?" Watts was heard asking as Ruby looked to the window hearing the voice. "We only need you two so come along quietly and be done with it." Watts said appearing at Ruby's window causing her to yelp in shock. "Garo in comparison to Nexus is only mortal after all and faced with this onslaught it's only a matter time till he breaks." Watts said as he smiled to Ruby a bit seeing victory within their grasp. "So accept this is the end of the road and come along quietly." Watts said only to see the window open and from it Ollette pointed her revolver at Watts firing at him in turn.

Ollette emptied her gun at Watts who quickly ported away from the shots as Ollette glared at him. "Now Ollette that anyway to treat your old teacher after all I taught you everything you know." Watts said as Ollette glared with rage in her.

"Rat bastard you used me and I'm not putting up with that again." Ollette glared as she knew he had to be close by somewhere.

(Watts)

Watts was soon seen on the back of the flying Horrors as he kneeled on it as he glared at his former student and her car. "Should have expected much and seems Ollette wasnt the only unruly girl in the order. No matter if I must I'll just have to bond the Summer Maiden Power to a more obediant wielder." Watts said as he knew Ollette and their history may put their plans in some deep danger.

(JNPR)

"Guys we got a problem!" Jaune called as he looked and saw a familiar face riding up behind them as it was Kiba.

"Great just what we needed." Nora cursed as Ren then looked to Penny.

"Jaune go stop him I'll keep driving." Penny said as she looked to Jaune.

"Wait kid dont." Qrow gritted as he looked to Penny and nodded.

Jaune then got out as he rolled to the ground while summoning his armor. Kiba saw this and was soon met with Gaia who then slashed at Kiba who was forced to dodge the attack. Kiba was airborne only for Garo to drop kick him as Kiba was caught off guard as Garo landed back on Zaruba with Gaia hitching a ride on it.

Kiba cracked his neck a bit to this as he glared at Garo and Gaia. "Relying on weaklings to help you Gold, pathetic." Kiba said as he glared at Gaia and Garo.

"Dont underestimate my friends Nexus they can pack one hell of a punch!" Garo yelled back as Kiba returned to Zarathos ready to bat tv le it out some more.

"Then show me that power Golden Knight!" Kiba roared out and attacked as Garo and Gaia glared at him.

"HERE WE COME!" Garo roared out as Gaia added his own roar while charging straight at Kiba as Kiba was now duel wielding his sword and Halberd ready to face his rival and his pet squire.

(Bavk with Ollette and Ruby)

Ollette soon saw it as the Horrors began to curl up into spear like weapons and began to dive bomb torts the car as Ollette bobbed and weaved pass them as best she could. While doing this Ollette growled as Eclipse saw the danger as well. "They arent holding back against us this is extremely tiresome." Eclipse commented as they drove to safety ss best they could.

"Ruby hold on to your panties." Ollette said as she began to flip switches on her console knowing what to do while turning a nozzle connected to a tank of sorts.

"Ok." Ruby said holding on to a handle as she wondered what was next. Soon Ruby saw the hood open up at a small segment and from it an large engine shot out releasing Madou Flames as she even saw the cars tail pipe release the same flames.

Soon the car was speeding up from an exellarator as she was easily able to avoid the Horrors while Ruby cried out in shock as she was also enjoying the speed. The Horrors were unable to land any decent blows now as they tried their best to hit them but only ended up missing each time. Once the duo were out of firing range they regrouoed with NPR and Qrow as Ollette and Ruby saw this.

"Where's Jaune?" Ollette asked as she looked to them.

"He went to help Gold fight Nexus!" Ren called out as he looked to them.

"Great." Ollette cursed as they kept driving trying to make their escape. But soon Ollette saw more of those flying Horrors as shengritted her teeth in frustration. "Oh crap." Ollette cursed as these guys should know never to tickle a sleeping dragon. "Ruby lay back your seat and pull the lever behind you" Ollette ordered as she knew Ruby was about to play with one of her favorite toys.

Ruby did as told and yelped when the car repositioned itself as Eclipse chuckled knowing how Ruby was going to enjoy this. Soon a Mini-Gun came out of the back. Ruby was on a turret seat as the gun rose and opened up to reveal a large Gatling gun."Ok start firing and don't worry about aiming!" Olette ordered as Ruby heard this.

"What?!" Ruby cried in shock to this as she was ready to smile.

"Start shooting!" Ollette ordered as Ruby then gave a mad grin before she nodded and in turn let loose hell on the Horror. As Ruby kept shooting the recoil made Eclipse hum in discomfort as Ruby was able to take a large number of them at once.

"Got them!" Ruby called out as Ollette repositioned the car again to drive straight.

"Nice shooting!" Ollette cheered as they my just kab it through this. But alas their happy moment was short lived.

"Look out!" Eclipse called out with urgency as soon Horrors attacked them as Ruby was being grabbed by them as she was wide eyed.

"Let go you bastards!" Ruby yelled but soon sword slashes hit them causing them to burn as they fell off as Ruby saw this. She then looked and saw Wolfe there smoking a cigarette as he flared at them and his foes.

"Wolfe!" Ruby cheered as he looked to Ruby.

"About time backup arrived!" Ollette called out hqooy for the help here.

"You shoot I slash." Wolfe said as Ruby nodded and grabbed Crescent Yaiba.

Ruby then too aim as the scope of her sniper rifle now had an eye in it much like Ollette's sniper rifle as to Ruby's sight the Horrors began to have targeting icons put on them. Ruby began shooting as she hit each Horror dead on as they were offed in one shot from her rifle. Ruby wasnt done nor was Wolfe as the Horrors once more began to attack before Ruby acted. She and Wolfe jumped upward as Ruby left behind a trail of Rose Petals before the two summoned their armors for this fight. Soon Yaiba and Giru took stage as as they began to cut down the Horrors left and right as Yaiba hsed her scarves rings to restrain two of them and a cut them both down. Giru jumped between Horrors either stabbing them or decapitating them as when he did those he jumped to the next Horror. It wasnt long until they were all defeated as the two Makai Knights returned to the car as they disengaged their armor reverting to Ruby and Wolfe.

"In the words of Gold talk about lucky!" Ruby cheered as she smiled finally getting some action.

"We're gonna live!" Nora cheered as Ren had taken the drivers seat.

(Ollette)

As Ollette drove the sun began to return as the barrier that was erected began to fall as Ollette smirked at this victory. "Talk about lucky we reached the barriers limits." Ollette smirked as she drove to their escape.

(Garo and Gaia vs Kiba)

As the barrier fell Kiba looked and cursed as he saw the sun shine. He then disengaged his armor reverting to Nexus as he saw this. "Running out of time." Nexus cursed as he then revved his engine and drove off.

"Hey-Hey get back here!" Garo roared out a he gave chase oy for Nexus to vanish into the shadows.

"He's going after Ruby!" Gaia called out as they had to hurry.

"I know!" Garo yelled as he drove after the others with Gaia as his passenger.

(With Ruby and Wolfe)

"Hey heads up." Eclipse warned as they all looked and saw an explosion of dust signaling the Horror rising from the ground.

"Oh boy." Ruby said as she realized either a Grimm or a hybrid was dead ahead and it was a big one.

"That's not a good sign." Wolfe said lighting another cigarette and blowing a puff of smoke from his nose after letting it fill his lungs.

(Ollette)

"Heh." Ollette smirked as she saw the on coming foes. "Looks like we reached the boss for this level." Ollette smirked as she was ready to rumble.

(Watts)

"This is becoming troublesome. Of they had surrendered then such drastic measures would not need to be taken." Watts said as he knew if all else fails Nexus wont. After all almost nothing stops Nexus once he sets his sights of mind on something nothing short of total destruction can stop him.

(Ruby, Wolfe, and Eclipse)

"It seems they bonded the power of Horrors into machines allowing the power to hunt even in daylight. This is extremely tiresome." Eclipse commented as this job just gonna harder.

"Look!" Wolfe called out as he pointed and in turn they saw a mound of dirt pushing up next to the car similar to a shark in the water. But then it vanished as Rubybsaw this and gulped a bit.

"I have a really bad feeling about this." Ruby said as she saw this happen.

Soon the ground in front of the two vehicles were wide eyed as from it large parts a mechanical Horror rose up forcing Ollette to make a sharp turn with Ren and Penny as the two vehicles to flip off the parts and crash. Wolfe and Ruby fell off the car as Nora and Eclipse damaged Madou Cycle form fell off the truck as well.

As they fell Ruby looked and was wide eyed as an portal similar to a Gate appeared and from it Nexus shadow hands shot out with his familiars as they got a grip of Ruby who becmgan to panic and struggle. "Ruby!" Wolfe crowd out in shock as soon Zaruba drove in and grabbed the arms and in turn caught Ruby before driving off.

Soon everyone gathered as Nora and Ren held Qrow up as they saw Gold and Jaune walk up to them. "Hey guys sorry we're late got held up a bit." Jaune apologized as he walked up with Gold.

"Oh hey teach glad you doing better Lung cancer hasn't gotten you either." Gold said as he looked to Wolfe as he grinned a bit as Wolfe smiled back at his old student. Soon the ground broke apart and from it the mechanical Horror rose up as Gold saw it and smirked. "Hey talk about lucky no rest for the weary." Gold said as he saw the mechanical Horror as did the others yet only Gold smirked to this adversary.

(With Ruby, Zaruba, and Eclipse)

Ruby was riding on Zaruba as the Madou Ring was handling driving for now. "Come on Zaruba talk to me. Are the others going to be ok?" Ruby asked worried for JNPR, Qrow, and GOW at the moment.

"There's more to Gold then meets the eye as you've already figured out Ruby. So we're going to keep ablow profile until this blows over." Zaruba said as he kept driving to their destination.

"Trust him right now dividing will keep our foes from getting their desired prize." Eclipse chimed in as she really wish her chaste was repaired otherwise she'd be driving Ruby straight to Mistral herself.

"Ok..." Ruby said as she was upset about all of this still.

(Later that day)

The sun was setting as the trio were in a chasm area as Rubybwqs sitting with her hood up and her knees to her chest as she looked to Zaruba who looked to be banged up quiet a bit. "Are... are you ok... does it hurt?" Ruby asked as she looked to Zaruba with concern.

"What do you take me for?" Zaruba asked as he looked to Ruby.

"Oh um sorry." Ruby said as Eclipse heard this as well.

"Dont be despite my state of being I had given that brute Zarathos quiet a beating myself." Zaruba chuckled as he looked to Ruby despite being parked. "I'll just have then Alchemists in Mistral and Ollette fix me up considering they even have the parts I need." Zaruba joked trying to lighten the mood with a chcukle.

"No really." Ruby began as she looked down. "Ever since I got this armor I've learned so much and gained so many skills." Ruby said as she sat there with depression on her. "But I also learned the horrifying truth that despite everything I cant do anything to help when it truly matters. Gold and me are targets of Salem and Nexus." Ruby began as she knew how Nexus obsessed over her like a zealous stalker in certain aspects. "Ollette made herself a target trying to help, my team is scattered, and most of all Gold's team is scattered." Ruby said as she sat there trying not to cry.

"If I was stronger... I could have saved Pyrrha. If I was faster Incould have helped Penny. If only." Ruby began s Zaruba sighed a bit. "Everyone has to carry my weight and despite everything why did Yaiba choose me why not my mom why me?" Ruby asked as she teared up at this truth and began to weep as Zaruba then spoke.

"Ruby do you know why Gold despite everything still manages to find a reason to smile." Zaruba began as he looks to Ruby who turned her head that she didnt know. "One reason is that their are fewer things more futile then tears. Another reason is that even after all the horrors all the darkness he's faced he knows he has to shine his brightest." Zaruba said as he looked to Ruby. "Despite everything Gold knows the pain but he knows the joy of living in according to ones beliefs and Nexus knows this as well those two are like two sides of the same coin." Zaruba continued as he looked to Ruby.

"He's right both Garo and Yaiba exists to protect those beliefs and your soul though small and honest is the brightest and strongest I've ever had the pleasure of knowing." Eclipse said as she looked to Ruby who saw this. "This why you must live because there are those who need you as one who protects as a Huntress and as a Makai Knight." Eclipse said as she looked to Ruby who began to smile and wipe away her tears at this. "Now chin up we are partners so that means we shoulder each others burdens and I will always be one you can confine to." Eclipse said as Ruby nodded to her.

"Right." Ruby said cheered up now as Eclipse and Zaruba both sensed it.

Up upon a cliff they saw it a black wolf a Grimm of sorts looked down upon them as it had the maddening look upon its features as held on its fangs was a cross as it glared down upon the group. "Enough. Get on." Zaruba urged ss he knew trouble was on the way and that was never a good thing.

(Later)

Ruby was once more on Zaruba's saddle as she and Eclipse rode on with Zsruba to escape. "I was thinking it curious how we broke through there defenses so easily. It seems Nexus was banking on this." Eclipse said as she rode with Ruby and Zaruba.

"No doubt Nexus is lying is wait for us." Zaruba confirmed as it was to be expected.

"So what do you two think we should do?" Ruby asked taking charge as she rode.

"Gold and the others will no doubt catch up we must buy ourselves as much time till they can get here." Zaruba said as he drove to a spot closest to Mistral. But as he rode Zaruba saw a cliff which forced him to skid to a halt and turned as well as they just stopped shy away from the edge as Zaruba saw this.

"Crap." Ruby cursed as she saw the edge as she then felt the chill. She then looked and in turn saw Nexus walking of then dust as he glared at her. "Shit." Ruby cursed further as she saw Nexus standing there as he glared at her.

"Ruby Rose... the Scorching Heat Knight Yaiba... you will be coming with me." Nexus said glaring at her waiting for this moment.

Zaruba saw the situation was dire as he knew he could protect Ruby forever and he knew he was at his limit. Eclipse and Ruby saw they may have to fight there way through but Nexus has an army living inside him trapped by his Semblance. "Ruby get off." Zaruba urged knowing what needs to be done as he hoped Gold is willing to forgive him for this. Ruby did as told as she and Eclipse had a feeling of what was next as Zaruba rolled to face Nexus as he knew this w and s the end of the road for him. "Ruby no matter what happens remember what I said about moving forward in your duty you are a protector you may be hated or seen as evil but remember you are a Makai Knight one who protects." Zaruba said as Eclipse knew what was next.

"Gods speed my brother." Eclipse said as she knew what was next as Ruby didnt wsnt Zaruba to do it.

"Zaruba please dont." Ruby begged but Zaruba ignored her as his eyes then flashed before he drove forth going at max speed torts Nexus channeling everybjit of strength, aura, and horsepower he has in him. "ZARUBA!" Runy yelled in sorrow as she saw what Zaruba was doing.

Nexus saw this as he was wide eyed as he didnt think a Madou Ring would do this as soon Zsruba reached his peak and when he collided with Nexus an explosion erupted from it as a small hope was that it managed to end Nexus. Embers rained down as soon Ruby heard footsteps and saw the rest of her friends and Gold who was wide eyed at this. Ollette and Qrow put a comforting hand on Ruby as Wolfe did the same for Gold as he held back his emotions as best he could. But despite it tears began to shed as he saw his best friend then last piece of his family's past gone in a blaze of glory. Gold then clenched his fist as he began to walk to the wreckage as with each stepped he felt their connection growing weaker and weaker as the result.

Gold found Zaruba's remains and picked him up as he held him in his left hand as he saw his remaining eye began to dull. "Its the end of the road for me... it was rather fun... partner." Zaruba said as soon the light in his eye vanished to black as Gold began to break down as he lost his best friend.

But despite the sorrow and sorbonne moment a familiar voice was heard as Gold heard it. "A brilliant death if only only for a madou Ring." Kiba was heard as his armor was donned no doubt at the right moment. "Botj my respects fornhis honor and condolences for your loss." Kiba said as he began to exit the smoke with blood slowly dripping from a new set of wounds down arm. "To think a mere trinket can harm one of my caliber." Kiba said as he glared at Gold.

"The Dark Knight." Wolfe said as he glared at Kiba.

But then Zaruba began to glow as Gold clenched his madou ring in his fist as be soon shattered. "Zaruba..."Gold began as he felt it he knew Zaruba's final gift to him before raising his Garoken to his right.

"Lend me your invincible will." Gold continued as he then cut open a portal as he knew why was needed to bid his long time friend farewell.

Insert Garo Vanishing Line OST: Sword

"And stand by my side in eternity!" Gold roared out punching the portal shattering it as his armor shot out from it. As the armor covered him it began to open up certain segments as it seemed to be awakening a new form for Gold. Soon the segments all burst forth as it created a back wind as everyone had to shield themselves from the burst of hot winds as they saw this.

"Wow!?" Jaune cried out in shock as Garo looked more robust.

"Is this?" Ollette asked as Wolfe nodded.

"Yes his own ideal for of the Golden armor." Wolfe said as he saw how Gold pulled this off as even the helmet had changed to show the fanges had parted as Kiba saw this.

'What is this... it's like I'm facing my own power in a mirror form.' Nexus thought as this wasnt possible. 'Unless he didnt.' Nexus realized in Horror as the Madou Ring carries within him the collective knowledge and wisdom of all Golden Knights who had come before him.

"So you've absorbed his essence to bolster own strength incredible amusing you basically have an off shoot of my semblance now but one utilized by willful giving." Kiba said as everyone heard this. "It seems I'm not fighting you alone Gold." Kiba said as Garo agreed.

"Yeah your facing the combined might of every Golden Knight who came before!" Gold yelled as Kiba laughed at this.

"The Bonds of Light a Semblance that can match up against the Thief of Darkness blow to blow." Kiba said as he looked to Garo seeing a truly worthy rival to his power. "This is excellent let us put it to the test!" Kiba roared out as Garo smirked.

"Yeah lets!" Garo roared out taking a battle stance as his armors veins soon gained a golden glow instead of a violet one as Kiba soon charged at Garo head on. Kiba roared out as he jumped up while the veins of his armor gained the crimson glow. Soon their blades met which in turn caused a burst of power to occur creating an area of dust around them as their confrontation began once again.

The two began hacking and slashing at each other as Garo pulled back and swung his blade at Kiba who then blocked it only to smoke dash behind him. Garo wasnt done as he then ported behind Kiba before attacking and in turn vanished in gusts of wind as he hacked and slashed against Kiba.

As everyone watch as Gold fights Nexus now on even grounds, With Ruby as her tears shown for Zaruba, as he gave his life to save hers, and give Gold a final gift… which he will put to good used. From the dust as Garo and kiba are in, the two knights clash, as Garo dodge a strike from its dark brother as the golden knight counter with a heavy slash which knock kiba out of the dust area. Once the smoke cleared Kiba was shocked when two light clones of Garo charged at him and attacked before shattering. Garo using this chance attacked Kiba and made a stabbing motion torts him as Kiba was forced to block as he was being pushed back with each attack.

Kiba skid on the ground before stopping and ran around to flank Garo from behind, but it seem he was already onto him as Garo appeared at Kiba side and slash his sword towards him once more.

The two knight traded strikes after strike, as when kiba try to slash sideways at Garo, he leap up to dodge it and came back down with his sword over head as he slash down onto kiba, which the dark knight block the attack, as another burst of energy came forth from them both.

'Impossible. This is impossible.' Kiba thought as he was wide eyed as he felt it. His arm was shaking as he felt his heartbeat increase not out of excitement but out of fear. 'Am I afraid?' Kiba thought as he focused on the battle.

Garo began to slam his blade down on Kiba as Kiba used a mirror clone who shattered upon impact asKiba saw this. 'No it's not just fear... its excitement I'm excited and scared how... exquisite!' Kiba mentally cheered as he was having the time of his life.

Kiba then began his counter attack as Garo and Kiba met each other blow to blow but it was Kiba who was being pushed to the edge. Kiba then summoned his Halberd and swung it at Garo who then jumped up and slashed down upon Kiba pinning him down creating a crater between them as well.

Garo then tripped up Kiba with a leg sweep as Kiba was wide eyed at this only for Garo the grab his face and disarm him as Kiba saw this. "Yes... that is the Hold I know and love. Truly a worthy nemesis and rival to my power." Kiba said realizing what Garo was to him.

Kiba then summoned his aura and shadows forcing Garo to release him as Kiba summoned hot pitch black wings and floated in the sky. "I look forward to our next battle Gold so prepare yourself till then." Kiba said as soon three of his familiars appeared as the were to everyone's shock Pyrrha, Amber, and Snow. They reached rubbed up to Kiba in a sensual manner as Jaune glared at Kiba who was basically taunting him with Pyrrha as she looked like a bride of Dracula like this.

"Let us battle to our hearts content when we meet again till we draw our last breath." Kiba said as he looked to Garo who glared at Kiba.

"BASTARD!" Garo roared out throwing the Garoken straight at Kiba likeva Javelin who then vanished into shadows making his escape as Garo glared forth.

When all was said and done Garo reverted to Gold as he knew his body wasnt used to using those other semblances of his predecessors and was really pushing it in that fight. But he didnt care as he looked at his clenched left fist and opened it with a solemn look.

Where Zaruba once resided was now empty as Gold no longer felt his Madou Ring their contract with his destruction was null and voided. "Goodbye... my friend." Gold said as Ruby walked up to him and saw his right arm was limp. "I'll get the bastard next time zaruba... that my promise." Gold seore as he cluch his hand with this oath as he will do it and he will fullfil the promise.

Tuby looked to Gold snd even saw the solemn and saddened look on Gold's face before she took his hand in hers. Good saw this and Ruby looked to him. "He's gone but not forgotten, he's gone but not gone." Ruby explained as despite everything Garo and Zaruba were together forever more.

Back with the gang as they walk up to the remain of gold's Motorcycle, as well Zaruba remains as well as he died with it, with Ruby looking upon it with Gold, looking at the broken part of face that was model after Zaruba as the echo of his voice ran out to the few who he wish to say it too, "So don't stop moving."

"Guess you got to see Kaze again after all." Gold said bidding his Madou Ring goodbye. As the two stood there Ruby saw Gold shedding tears as Ruby had to be strong for him now as the sun set near them. But as the sun set their shadows were the form of Garo and Yaiba as this was a moment of silence despite the Mistral transports arriving at long last.

Tears fell from Ruby's eyes to this... but she wasn't the only one sadden to Zaruba scarfices, as if Ecplise had lost a dear friend and brother. Eclipse had called Zaruba her brother as the two had a strong bond together. Ruby knew it hurt knowing if Eclipse had done this she would have felt the same pain as Gold was feeling.

It wasn't long until the Mistral troops began to load up Qrow on a stretcher as he was enjoying the special treatment a bit. If also took convincing but the cars were also being loaded up as Gold wiped away his tears and smiled a huge grin as he walked to the airship.

(Later in the sky)

"How did you find us out here?" Jaune asked as he looked to the Huntsman as Gold sat cross legged with Ruby looking over Qrow as they must have gotten there ships thawed out somehow.

"We were on patrol and saw both the smoke snd this black dome thing." The man said looking to Jaune snd Ruby. "Nobody's been out here for years so we thought something might be wrong." The man said as Ruby began to worry about Qrow a bit hoping Gold's medicine holds.

"What if we dont make it?" Ruby asked as they already lost Zaruba today they didnt need to lose anyone else.

"Have faith Ruby, The anti-vemon will do its part, and besides, thing are closer than you would expect," Eclipse as soon enough as the air ship came over the mountain Gold Pointed out, "Mistral, dead ahead!"

Ruby look out and saw the city, as it stood on two mountains with many homes and building are around it, as it look peaceful, a safe place, as Ruby could not help but smile as she knew, thing will be alright now.

As the gang look towards the city, Ollette was looking at the remain of Gold's motor and zaruba as she check everything as she saw most parts were still intact even after being blow up, but that not the only thing she found, as she picked up… a life signal from the remains.

(elsewhere)

Within a deep underground cavern, as dark crystals that all around dimly glows, as Cinder with her brother blaze lit the area with the flames in her hands as she said in her barely speaking voice as she spoken, "Why did we come here brother? If Salem finds us gone, she will find out with Nexus sniffing us out."

"Calm yourself sister, these crystal will seal our present, these crystals are meant to absorb any jaki and inga present within this place, they will hid us well, even from Nexus himself," Blaze said as Cinder look to the crystals, as she could tell they were not meant to use as guides for people that may travel within this place as dark aura are present within a shadow are moving across them.

"Why are we even here Brother, this place is forbidden to come to," Cinder said as she has doubt about this journey as Blaze said to her, "Forbidden by the Makai Order… not us, a small chance Salem may know this place, but unlikely keep remembering it, unless she knew the purpose of this place."

"The purpose? How would you know of this place and what is it purpose?" Cinder ask as Blaze stop for a moment as he turn around to face his sister as shadow dance across his face by Cinder's flame as he said, "This place is a prison for the fallen, corrupted by the evil they seek out, but weren't cut down, due to an idea to the makai order of any fallen could be put to used in future times if needed, but time pass and this place is all but forgotten, I found out about this place looking deep within a book that was the old library of the Order that was long forgotten itself, the dark history of the Makai order."

Cinder listen carefully as Blaze turn back around and went on as he continue saying, "There was a knight along with a priestess that fell and became horrors. They were Powerful as they seek out powerful foes one of them being Garo. The Knight later found a means to come back from the dead only to be bested by the Messiah when he was used for her ritual."

"Who were they?" Cinder asked as she never heard such a tale but then again Blaze knew more than she did if he knows of this place as Blaze went on saying, "They were, the Demon knight Jinga and the Dark Maiden Amily, the dark siblings of the order, they were seal away as their ability were to great to be wasted despite their prior actions, so they were sealed in place in as the order had hope of controlling them one day, which they failed to do."

"How can you tell?" Cinder said as Blaze smile and said, "Because they reinforce their seals, the one thing I cannot get by pass, which it why I have brought you along, to help undo the seals."

Blaze stop for a moment as a dark howl is heard from down the cave as Cinder pointed her flame downwards as Blaze raise his shield with his other hand reaching for his sword as he said, "I see they have respond once again."

"Again?" Cinder said as she wonder what her brother meant as she soon realize as she said, "You've been here before?"

"Many times, I seek this place out before to look for power and could never get as far as I could before, but each time I come here, I fight and get stronger, and I get further in as well and I surpass my ability over and over again, just to catch up to Nexus… before I found them," Blaze said as from the shadow two orb of violet lights came forth before the siblings before they form into dark beings.

Cinder was careful as she never saw anything like this before, as they had a minor grimm like look but not cover in bone armor, but more like dark cloth, as Blaze smile and said, "Demon beasts, the jaki and igna that gather here form these things as they act like guards protecting this area for ages against all those who comes here without permission, my training pals."

The demon beast roar out as they pull out demonic looking weapon as Blaze smile and pull out his sword and charge at them fast, as the two did the same.

Blaze parry against one and block the other with his sword and shield in that order before he shove forth his shield to push back the one on it to smack the other, then slash the first one before cutting down the other one quick.

It feel down and turn back to shadows returning back to once it came as Blaze keep at the other other as eh slash and bash it with his shield before he pull out his gun and shot it in the leg as it cry out before Blaze cut it head off as well as it fell as well and return to the shadows.

"Only problem is, they can only be so strong, I surpass their strength and now they are just annoyance," Blaze said as he sheath his sword back into his shield as he went on walk while saying, "Let move, now they are aware of our present more will come. We must haste."

Cinder follow the best she can, as more did come forth and blaze mostly took care of them with Cinder… well she was strong enough to kill a few with the power of the maiden at her disposal and the power over fire.

(moments later)

Soon enough the siblings made it to a tomb like area as stone coffins stood all around, with symbols and marking on them as Blaze walk pass these and headed towards a pathway to the side, as there were many others but it seem Blaze knew where to go quite well as Cinder follow and soon came up to two stone coffins and both of them has rusted chains and talismans that were fading but the power behind them were still strong it seem as Cinder asked, "These are them I assume?"

"Yes its them or at least their flesh." Blaze said as he was not unaware of Horrors leaving behind their own carcasses as the Horror in question was basically in dormancy.

"And you intend to revive them?" Cinder asked as she saw Blaze pull out two items from his person.

"Yes." Blaze said before he passed one of the items to Cinder who caught it with her Horror arm. "Give that one to Amily this one goes to Jinga." Blaze said holding his package as Cinder looked upon it and was wide eyed.

"Kami no Kiba?!" Cinder gasped as she saw the fragment in question.

"Yes a fragment of the very ark used to summon the Messiah." Blaze said as he walked to Cinder as she noted Blaze had a great deal of time when he set this up. "Your Maiden Power will be just the thing I need to finish this." Blaze said as he looked to Cinder who was worried.

"But..." Cinder began as the nightmares she suffers from due to Nexus she feared Nexus wont be so forgiving this time.

"Don't worry... this time I'll protect you... even if I must take the full blame." Blaze said as Cinder was his family he'd do anything he must to protect her even become a Horror. "Now come let's hurry." Blaze said as Cinder nodded.

Blaze got into position as he then grinded his blade against his shield in turn becoming Zex. When Zex formed Cinder reached out her Horror arm and absorbed the energy from Zex's armor and soon her form became that if Zex.

This was Jaaku the forbidden mimic armor as Jakku Zex then looked to Zex and nodded. Zex then acted ad he placed his part on Jinga's coffin while Cinder did the same with Amily. The two then grinded their Makai Ken against each other creating sparks followed by their Madou Flame. Upon completion they both roared out and stabbed the swords into Jinga and Amily's coffins as the coffins began to burn with the Kami no Kiba fragments forced inside. Cinder then focused her Maiden Power to her arms before sending them to the blades in turn re energizing the fragments with the power of the Fall Maiden.

Soon the Coffins burst out changing into ashes as the two were forced out of their armors as the ashes began to gather and take form. From them figures began to form from fetal positions as they began to take form. Soon the two fell in a kneeling position as both looked down as fair obscured their faces from view.

The Blake haired one the Priestess had her long hair obscuring her face as the silver wild haired one with black nails and pale skin then began to move. Soon the two stood up as Cinder hoped Blaze had a plan set up as she was getting major vibes of Nexus from him.

The male Jinga looked upon his hand flexing it a bit before fixing his hair a bit. Amily rose up next looking around with a cold glare but also surprised to be back after so long. "Cinder the translation spell." Blaze said as Cinder soon drew her Madou Brush and talismans and sent them at the two who then caught them with ease before the talismans turned to sparkles.

"Again?" Jinga asked as he seemed bored as he loomed around. "Where is Ryuga?" Jinga asked looking around for Ryuga Dogai.

"Gone by a good chunk of millenia." Blaze saidvas Jinga saw them as did Amily.

"Makai Kishi da, makai Hoshi da?" Amily asked as Cinder was keeping her fear at bay.

Soon Cinder nearly jumped back as Jinga grabbed her Horror arm and put his head to hers before focusing. Jinga recieved images of recent events up to now as Blaze saw this.

"Last time I was revived a little Horror tried to use me to revive her master the Messiah." Jinga said as he looked to Cinder and Blaze.

"If it comes to that I'd rather save it as a last resort." Blaze said as he looked to Jinga.

"Ah.. so you seek my aid to defeat a Dark Knight like yourself the one who took the mythical Barago's title as Kiba." Jinga said amused as from Cinder's memories he figured Nexus must be a powerful foe... as with this new Garo named Gold and this female Makai Knight named Ruby. "What a strange world to see woman don the Makai Armor." Jinga said as he was amused and rightfully so.

"We have a deal to strike you two." Blaze said as Jinga looked to the wielder of Zex.

"What kind of deal?" Jinga asked as he looked to Blaze who then drew forth the images of Gold, Ruby, and Nexus.

"Help us deal with these three on their cohorts and I promise you I'll provide you an opponent who will give you a battle you'll never forget the ultimate amusement." Blaze said as Jinga head this as Amily smiled as well.

"Facing a female Makai Kishi, a new Ougon Kishi, and a powerful Ankoku no Kishi far to tempting." Amily agreed with what Jinga was thinking as her husband had his response.

"Sounds like fun." Jinga said walking away a bit seemingly thinking it over. "But you due know... if your lying I'll know." Jinga said as Blaze glared.

"I'm willing to sacrifice everything to beat Nexus, my honor, my life, my duty, my dignity, and even my hunanity." Blaze said as Jinga liked that answer as these two human children were basically making a deal with the devil.

"Saa, Then we have a deal." Jinga said as he looked to the two.

"We should leave before we are noticed we will fill you in on the new world you two are in." Cinder saidvas they agreed on this.

"Very well." Jinga said as he hoped to meet the heir to Ryuga soon.

(With Willow Schnee Estate Atlas)

As Willow is working behind the desk her former husband work behind, catching up on paper work, looking at Faunus pay which were lower than normal human workers as it seem they would had to work twice as much to be payed the same as human, 'disgraceful' willow thought as she not as surprise but the only thing is she surprise is the amount given that was order by Jacques.

'I would have to change the amount between the payment, riase faunus pay to the proper amount with an added 10% and lower regular people pays down to 25%. A lot of workers may hate it but I will just blame the military for it. That should make up most of the problems within a year or so," Willow thought before she lower the paper and sighed a bit as she rewritten something, sigh her name and added the Schnee stamp for approval before putting it in the out box and work on the next problem which was… faunus doing dangerous job for higher pay, but the risk were too high for anyone to do as she knew.

Willow soon thought to get some Atlas older Atlesian Knight models to do then and just have a group decanted to repairing and maintaining them, which would be another form to fill to have it approve, as Willow sighed again as she just put down the paper and lean back a bit for a breather.

A lot of thing ran through Willow mind, as her family company was in a bad shape, as she could fix it up to proper order, but it would take years to undo what Jacques did, she can barely hold her family together, with Whitey acting like a spoil brat, her oldest is with the Atlas Military as it was clear she may have did it to get away from the family, and Weiss was gone, no doubt she ran away with her Faunus Boyfriend, which she wasn't all that upset, but Weiss could at least left a note or tell her in person saying, 'goodbye' to her.

She felt like most of the problems around wasn't just Jacques fault… but hers as well, as she married a man that was just after her name, and soon took her Family company.

Her fault of letting Jacques take hold of the company, even letting him tribute to Project Nexus creating the monster that is unleash upon the world, and now they are wanted to do it again hoping it would be different, but all and all, it seem would just end badly, a life that force to be a weapon of mass destruction or to counter against the one that went rogue, she wouldn't be surprise if this new nexus creation rebel against his or hers creators as well.

Soon enough a knock came at the door as willow look towards it as she spoken in a clear tone voice, "Yes?"

Soon enough the door open as Klein came in with a tray in his hands as he said, "Ms. Schnee, I have Coffee ready for you."

Klein set the tray down showing the cup of coffee with a creamer and cubes of sugar on the side with a turning spoon in the cup as well as Willow said, "I see you looking out for me again Klein."

"Of course, as you ask me to watch over you and make sure you don't relapse when you finally throw away the bottle, I'm here to serve," Klein said as he show his loyalty greatly to the family, even after how it became, as Willow smile to that, as it was hard for her to get use to not having a glass of wine in her hands after a while, it was even painful with the sleepless night she had after quitting.

"Thank you Klein," Willow said as she prepare the coffee the way she wants it, as she pour some cream in it and hadded a two cube of sugar before sterling it and took a sip from it as she she felt the coffee hit her tongue the rush of caffeine kick in quickly to help her wake up.

Willow let off and smile as she smile a bit and nodded in approving, which Klein smile proudly for that as he soon ask, "So how is everything going with the Company Ms. Schnee?"

"Terrible we haven't change out old equipment, and half the workers don't even have getting dental let alone medical insured, as I found out our greatly increase of money was from budget cuts that wasn't needed, people are using dirt holes as restrooms, and the only wash room is human use only and its co-ed too... what has happen to this company?" Willow said as Klein keep a smile on as he said, "Well I'm sure you can pull through this well, as you haven't given up just yet."

"Your right… I've haven't given up yet… but this will take time to fix, sales aren't going well as it used to, after the fall of beacon much of Schnee product were founded in the warehouses, product distribution were put on hold in other kingdoms other than Atlas… we may to tighten some belts as well," Willow said as she is willing to make some sacrifices here as well and besides, she knew with her husband gone, his collection of priceless object aren't needed.

"If I must, I will start putting a hold on food orders and pick thing up at local markets, maybe not as fresh but I can make sure it will taste all the same," Klein said as Willow nodded and said, "That would be a good idea."

As Willow took another sip of her coffee, she saw something out of the corner of her eye, as a single… red… feather slowly drops down on the floor with no reason why it's here, as she already know who it belongs too.

AS she set her cup down and pull out a draw as she reach for something, as she said to Klein, "Well then, better get back to work, and Klein, when you're done with the daily chores, you can have of the rest of the day off, and I believe your monthly pay is due already, so here."

Willow handed Klein a letter as the bushy mustache butler was confuse about this as he knew he already had his monthly pay, as he check the evalope and saw something inside as the first few words he notice was, 'Get help.'

Klein keep calm as he knew something was wrong as he knew something like this might happen, but this soon… he felt a bit worry bit he will follow the order to the letter as he said, "Of course Ms. Schnee, thank you, and enjoy your coffee."

Soon enough Klein left as normal, keeping calm and quite as he knew what is about to happen and just hope willow will be alright.

The door close, and soon enough more red feather fell down from above as it seem the Winter maiden has make her present known now as she came down silently, with the question of how she could have gotten in the office without being notice before is a mystery, unless Nexus had a hand in it, no doubt.

Willow then sighed as deep down she knew this day was coming somehow. The question was when and how and it seemed it was now on when but how would he seen soon. "You know... after I saw what you did to Beacon... I was wondering when you would come here... Akane." Willow said as as oon Akane's blade was pressed against Willow's neck as she also saw Glyphs at her hands, legs, and neck restraining her.

"Hello mama... I'm home." Akane greeted with a whisper to her birth mothers ear.

Willow hated seeing what her second daughter had become... all because of her negligence. Akane needed her and Willow tried to act like she didnt exist using wine to drown the memory. "Welcome home then." Willow greeted as she tried to play along for now to get Akane to possibly drop her guard. "You've gotten so big... the last time I saw you, I still had to carry you in my arms." Willow said as Akane pressed the blade closer.

"No thanks to you and dont try acting like you care. You abandoned me you bitch." Akane cursed as she glared with hatred to her mother unaware that she was wrong.

Willow loved Akane her precious little girl. Willow thought she was doing right by Akane sparing her from the stigma of basically being a bastard child. Willow hated herself for this because she also wanted to preserve Winter's future and later Weiss's future disregarding the pain Akane was suffering with self deluded lies that Akane was safe and taken care of.

"Akane please I never intended to hurt you." Willow said as Akane glared at her for this.

"Dont you lie to me!" She yelled but then calmed herself. "No matter right now I'm going to take back what your third child Weiss stole from me." Akane said as she grabbed Willow by her hair forcing her down. "It wont be long now soon both the Fang and the company will be mine like they should be." Akane said as Willow was shocked at this. "If humans and Faunus want to make a monster of me they got their wish." Akane said as she then acted.

Before Willow could retort she saw a portal at ger feet followed by a quick blow to the head and finally darkness and shadows.

(Scene Break Mistral Ruby, Gold, and Ollette)

insert RWBY OST Home

Ruby walks into a double bed accommodation. It has barren furnishings: two beds, a large desk and a nightstand. Qrow sleeps under the blankets of one of the beds. Ruby sets the collapsed Crescent Rose on the empty bed and walks over to Qrow, putting her hand on his head.

Gold and Ollette walked in next as Gold saw Zaruba's old perch as he looked to it sadly as he then forced a grin as he knew Zaruba wpuldnt want him moping around like an emo kid. Ruby walked in as well as she found a perch and placed Eclipse on it as Ollette was looking over Qrow as she then smiled and nodded showing he was going to be just fine.

Ruby smiled and moved to the desk as Gold took out his scroll for a moment as Eclipse then spoke up. "He's gone but not forgotten." Eclipse said as she smiled to Ruby who agreed as shevsaw down. "Best to get writing flower girl home must be expecting yo hear from you." Eclipse said as Ruby nodded in response as she began to write.

"Hey sis, I hope my letters have been reaching you and Dad. Hand-written stuff's never been super reliable, but I guess it's all we've got these days. Anyway, in case you haven't been getting them, I want to say I'm sorry for leaving the way I did. I know you told me it was a reckless idea, and after everything I've been through, I can definitely say you were right. It's been hard, on all of us, and I'm not just talking about the monsters we fought out here." Ruby recounted as she paused for a moment to keep writing knowing Gold lost a close friend... they all did.

(In Atlas hanger)

An Atlesian pilot counts Lien as Aron was loading g his motorcycle into the cargo hold.

"Okay, you can hide out back in the cargo hold. I'll take you as far as I can, but if we get caught, you're on your own. Understand?" The Atlesian Pilot inquired as he looked Weiss who nodded and Aron who gave a thumbs up.

"Dont worry if we get caught we'll handle this." Aron said knowing his sky bow friend can handle things here. Ruby's narration continued as the airship began to take off.

"Every step we made took us further and further from the things we knew. And every morning we woke up wondering, if just over the next hill would be something good or something terrible."

(In Managerie)

Blake in Ghira Belladonna's office. She places a small chest on the desk and opens it. Inside are various objects, including a flag with the new White Fang emblem, a spiral notebook and a book.Inuken was in a tree outside playing a flute as it was the same dagger from the other night all the while nearby Sun was out talking to his fellow Faunus kin.

(Yang and Raymond)

"It's scary not knowing what's going to happen next. And the things we do know now—just how bad it can get—it almost makes it all worse."

Yang Xiao Long and Raymond Shiro were on the same ship Blake took to Menagerie. She is looking at a ticket and a photograph of Team STRQ, with Bumblebee anda Madou Cycle modeled after Goruba and the Madou Horse Hayate he called Gale Winds.

"You told me once that bad things just happen. You were angry when you said it, and I didn't want to listen."

(In Patch)

Taiyang Xiao Long stares at a framed photo of Team STRQ. As Iris saw this while walking in.

"But you were right, bad things do happen, all the time, every day. Which is why I'm out here, to do whatever I can, wherever I can, and hopefully do some good as ones who protect."

Zwei barks at Tai before he sawcIris dit down next to him smiling before with her hand torn on the radio to play music, and this made Tai smiles. He then started looking across the room at a framed photo of Team RWBY and Team GARO as on the photo, "New Friends!" is written with a heart shape drawn near the writing.

"We've all lost something, and I've seen what loss can do to people."

Jaune is in his room with a frustrated look on his face as he stares at Crocea Gaia propped up against the wall.

"But if we gave up every time we lost, then we'd never be able to move forward."

Nora, and Ren open the door. Jaune smiles as Ren sets his tachi next to Crocea Gaia. Nora sits beside Jaune and leans on him, while Ren sits on the bed behind them and rests his hand on Nora's shoulder. Penny then formed a small holographic body and sat on Jaune's shoulder as he saw the mini Penny there.

"We'd never have a chance to see what beautiful things the future might have waiting for us. We'd never have the strength to change; whether it's ourselves, or the world around us."

(With Aron and Weiss)

Aron was catching some sleep as his bike was strapped down nearby as Weiss was sitting on top of her suitcase in the airship's cargo hold, gazes out into the sunset and smiles as the airship flies over the Atlesian mountains.

(Blake)

In Menagerie, Blake puts down the current White Fang flag and picks up the old white and blue flag. She lowers it and smiles at Sun, who is sitting in a chair with his arms behind his head in a relaxed position. Then she gazes at Inuken who was being thesolemn bodyguard he was.

(Yang and Raymond)

The Captain and First Mate smile and wave goodbye as Yang drives Bumblebee and Raymond drives Gale Winds away from the port, headed toward Mistral.

(Oscar)

Elsewhere, Oscar sits in the dining car of the train as it crosses a bridge surrounded by mountains and water. He is staring at a poster advertising Haven Academy. The poster shows two figures: a female with an axe and a male with a rifle. The poster reads: "HAVEN ACADEMY: BE A HERO".

"Approaching, City of Mistral." The Train Operator states as Oscar then looked to Eruba who was probably resting right now.

"Because there are plenty of people out there who are still lost and even more who will try to gain everything they can from their sorrow."

(Menagarie)

Ilia Amitola lands on a rooftop in Menagerie fully healed in the night, as Corsac and Fennec Albain wait for her. Ilia gets on one knee and lowers her head after they turn to face her.

She is then given the letter as she saw it was the same wedding invitation for her but it had 'for her eyes only,' printed on its surface.

"Believe me when I say, I know it can feel impossible, like every single day is a struggle against some unstoppable monster we can never hope to beat."

(Nexus group)

In Salem's Domain, Cinder Fall snaps her fingers, having defeated at least the two Beowolves disintegrating on the ground in her continued training. Mercury Black is leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. Emerald Sustrai puts two fingers on her head, concentrating as she generates a hallucination of Ruby, Gold, and Nexus begging for mercy. Cinder focuses a large stream of fire on the hallucination from her right hand, glaring at it with her eye glowing. Nearby, Salem is watching, looking pleased until Nexus walked in fully healed as he began to laugh as Salem was informed of Nexus little walk as now Solomon was gathering what they needed to refill their numbers of lost Horrors with Tyrion as Ico leaned on the wall in fealty to Nexus silently observing.

(Ruby)

"But we have to try, if not for us, then for the people we've already—" Ruby stops and crosses out the last few words as she alters her statement. "Then for the people we haven't lost yet." As Ruby finishes writing, the note is shown and two tears fall on the page.

"I miss you so much. I miss Weiss and Blake too. But I think you'd all be proud to know that I made it to Mistral. All of us did, and we even ran into Uncle Qrow along the way." Ruby said wiping her tears away. "But we lost someone on the way but his spirit still burns strong." Ruby said refusing to forget Zaruba's sacrifice for them... for her.

Qrow pushes himself over with one arm and grunts while propping up his head with the other hand. Ruby stops writing to check on him. "Hey, aren't I normally the one saving you?" He asked as Wolfe soon walked in smirking.

"Well we cant all ve the hero 24/7." Wolfe said as Gold then stood up.

"Yeah but luck was on our side!" Gold cheered with a grin on his fight. "We made it to Mistral mission accomplish!" Gold cheered as Ruby one Gold's secret his smiles his way of standing tall Gold truly was a golden light.

Ruby smiles down at Qrow as the narration of Ruby's letter resumes as the corner where Qrow's Weapon and Ozpin's Cane/Makai Ken combo are resting in the corner.

"He's going to take us to see Professor Lionheart, the headmaster of Haven Academy. And he told us some things that you're gonna wanna hear, things I can't trust will make it to you in this letter. But maybe, if you join us, he could tell you himself. With Beacon gone they'll need Dad at Signal more than ever, and I know you need to focus on yourself before I can expect you to come out with me. But it sure would be great to get Team RWBY and Team GARO back together again!"

(Yang and Raymond)

Yang and Raymond were seen riding down a path on Bumblebee and Gale Winds, before coming to a stop at a crossroads and looking at a sign post. The signpost points right for Mistral and left for Kuroyuri, and the sign for Kuroyuri has "BANDITS" spray painted across it in big, red letters.

"You are in so much trouble when I find you." Yang states with a smirk on her face.

"I'm going to kill him." Raymomd said as he also saw signs of Gold's mess since land fall.

"Until next time, your loving sister, Ruby Rose!"

"Oh! Uh, PS. I'll be sure to give you the address of where we're staying in Mistral! I'd love to hear back from you and Dad, and I can't wait to fill you in on whatever's going to happen next! Now that we've made it across Anima I really think things are gonna start going our way."

(Scene Break that Night Ruby)

Ruby was walking around town that evening as she was asked to hunt a Horror this evening with Ollette working on some huge project of hers. But as Ruby walked she looked around town a bit before she ended up bumping into a new figure as she wasn't paying attention when she did.

"Sorry about that." Ruby said as she got back up only to see a blank nailed hand offer to her.

"Daijobu onna-san?" Jinga was heard as Ecliose recognized this language.

"Um... yeah." Ruby said as Jinga and Amily nodded.

"Best to watch where your going the unsavory sort may not he so merciful." Jinga said as Ruby nodded to him as he and Amily walked away.

"Got it." Ruby said as she saw them. "By the way are you two Huntsman...?" Ruby asked only to Jinga and Amily were gone now. "Wierd." Ruby said before continuing her trek for her hunt.

(Later at a bar)

Qrow sitting at a bar sometime later, fully healed from his wound. Oscar approaches him from behind.

"Excuse me?"

Qrow turns around to face Oscar. "You know, I don't think they allow kids in here, pipsqueak."

Oscar looks at his left arm as it moves. "Shut up, I'm getting there."

Qrow gives him a questioning look.

"Um, I'm supposed to tell you, I'd like my cane and my sword back?" Oscar inquired as Eruba then spoke.

"And it better be in good condition." Eruba said as Orva heard her.

"Eruba!" Orva called in shock and joy

Qrow's eyes widen for a moment in surprise. "It's good to see you again, Oz." Qrow greeted with a smile as he withdraws Ozpin's Cane in its compact mode and tosses it to Oscar, who presses a button on the hilt, extending the baton. Oscar grasps the baton with the other hand, surprised, before looking at Qrow with a determined face as the scene cuts to black.
