Hey, it's the 20th chapter! Not that exciting, but still, chapter 20! Couple of things to say first: this chapter will be released slightly later than usual so I can use events from the next chapter of RWBY so there's no inconsistencies, and the fight that Velvet does against the Paladins will mostly be omitted so I can instead use my OC characters. They deserve this.
So, basically, shit's gone down in the last chapter. Dragon keeps appearing and disappearing in different places, Ultra is on the Atlesian ship with Ruby and Epsilon has done fuck-all. But what will he do to Cinder? Can Ultra and Ruby stop Torchwick? What will Dragon do this chapter? Let's find out now!
Chapter Twenty - Karma
The Grimm Dragon flew past the Atlesian Airship with a flock of Griffons and Nevermores that Ruby and Ultra were standing on, looking at the Dragon in fear. Or, one of them was. At that moment, a Griffon landed and roared at the two of them. Ruby charged, swinging her scythe at the Grimm, but caused little damage, forcing her back. Ultra ran forward, unsheathing his machetes and stabbed the first one in the side of it's stomach, using the momentum of the stab to flip onto the Griffon and stabbed it through the head with his other machete.
"That's how you kill a Grimm." Ultra boasted, grabbing his machetes and re-sheathing them.
"Show-off." Ruby pouted. However, his moment of victory was ended by the snap of a picture, and the two of them looked at Neo, who held her scroll in front of her, her attire changing from her Atlesian disguise to her normal clothing.
Roman received the message and looked. It showed a picture of Ruby and Ultra with one message: "Guess Who?"
"Oh, you can not be serious! Little Red again, and who's that man with an opposing fashion sense?" Roman asked himself rhetorically, grabbing his cane and walked towards the top of the airship.
Beacon Academy...
Blake looked in horror at Adam, who stood inside the burning and destroyed cafeteria, who had a sadistic smirk on his face.
"Running away again? Is that what you have become, my love? A coward?" Adam asked her threateningly.
"Why are you doing this?" Blake asked desperately and full of fear.
"You and I were going to change the world, remember? We were destined to light the fire of revolution!" Adam yelled at her, drawing his sword as he stood on an Atlas student, preparing to stab him in the chest. "Consider this... a spark." Adam thrusted his sword down, but stopped mere millimetres from the students chest.
Blake looked to her side to see Dragon, who's right arm was outstretched, keeping Adam's arm still. "Stop him." Dragon told her, and pushed Adam back with his semblance. Adam glared at Dragon and lunged at him, but Blake stopped the blade.
"I'm... not... running." Blake said to Adam, holding his blade back with hers, as she watched Dragon run after a group of Major Ursi.
"You... will." Adam threatened, kicking Blake back and onto the ground. As she lay there, a Creep ran towards her, but she was too slow to defend herself. A gunshot went off, hitting and killing the Creep. She looked over and saw Dragon holding his dust-summoned assault rifle, he nodded and ran off.
"But not before you suffer for your betrayal, my love." Adam smiled as he slowly walked towards her.
Cross Continental Transmit System Tower...
Neon skated and Reese hovered around the tower past the rest of Team ABRN shooting at a Griffon, Sun and Neptune shooting an Atlesian Paladin and Ren and Nora fighting against a group of Atlesian Knights. A Griffon landed and Yatsuhashi and Fox slashed at it, while Flynt blew his trumpet at a pair of Creeps. The two of them passed under a Paladin as Weiss froze it's legs to the ground with ice dust and sent to attack, but was slammed back.
"Weiss!" Neptune called out. One of the Paladins punched Yatsuhashi, who stopped the fist with his sword, but overpowered him and sent him back. The paladin turned and walked towards Ren, who had his back turned.
"Look out!" Nora yelled, running up to Ren and pushing him out of the way as the Paladin hit her.
"Nora! No!" Ren called out to his partner, and was then punched by the Paladin. It turned to Coco, Velvet and Neptune, Coco fired her Gatling Gun at the Paladin, but caused little to no damage, Neptune firing his gun too.
"Uh, this is bad." Neptune told the girls nervously. They two of them stopped firing their weapons.
"Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!" Coco said to the faunus.
"Really?" Velvet asked excitedly.
"Just make them count." Coco told her as Velvet started walking towards the two Paladins.
"What are you doing!? She's going to get hurt!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Just watch." Coco told her. From both their left and right, two more Paladins ran towards them.
"Where did they come from!?" Sun exclaimed. One of the Paladins lunged it's fist at Sun, who held up his arms in an attempt to defend himself, but the fist never impacted. The faunus looked to see Xerxes standing right in front of him, both of her arms held up, keeping the arm back. With a yell, she pushed the Paladin back, sending it crashing into the ground dozens of feet back.
The other Paladin charged at Coco, who fired her Gatling Gun, but caused little damage. As it got closer, Amber ran out and punched it in the leg with her metal-covered fists, and Umber ran forward and kicked it back with her metal-covered feet, sending it sliding across the floor. Xerxes ran up to Noir, Hecate and Sky.
"How do ve destroy the Paladin?" She asked her leader.
"Get me on the Paladin." Noir ordered Xerxes. The two of them ran towards the machine as it got back up. Xerxes picked up the petite girl and threw her up on top of the Paladin, and ran under the machine, slashing it's legs with her claws.
Noir closed her eyes and put her hands on the Paladin, and opened them again, leaping off the machine and landing next to the rest of her team.
"Hecate will run towards the Paladin and damage it's leg with an aura hammer, and slam it's fist back. As it swings again, Xerxes will stab it in the fist and throw it at Sky. I will control it and make it go faster with my telekinesis, and Sky will destroy it by slicing it in half." Noir told her team.
Hecate ran towards the Paladin and summoned an aura hammer, running under it's legs and slamming it into the left leg, severely bending it and causing it to fall down. The Paladin swung it's fist at her, and she swung her hammer, knocking the hand back. As it swung again, Xerxes stabbed her right claw into it's hand, stopping it.
She lifted the Paladin up and threw it over her head and towards Sky. Noir held out her arms, purple veins coming out of her eyes as she forced the Paladin to go faster towards Sky. Sky reached on her back, unfolded her sword and with one slash, sliced the Paladin in half.
Vanessa ran towards the other Paladin, ducking underneath it's legs and threw all of her daggers at the Paladin's back, the daggers harmlessly bouncing off the armour. She summoned them back and slashed at a different angle, scratching the armour and grabbing the Paladin's attention. She took out her revolver and fired a shot at it, causing a large dent in it's armour and forcing it to step back a couple of times.
Xander fired his automatic pistols at the Paladin, causing it to turn around and towards him and shot at the hunter, who leapt to the side to avoid the shots. He took out his daggers and threw them at the Paladin, burying themselves in it's front armour.
Amber and Umber ran towards the machine and simultaneously punched and kicked at it's legs respectively, causing it to collapse onto the ground. It got back up quickly and aimed at Vanessa, who leapt behind a collapsed pillar. It shot at it, knocking the pillar out of the way and sending Vanessa back. It aimed again, but was distracted as Dragon appeared in front of it. He activated his lightsabre and sliced off both of it's arms, and forced it back and onto the ground.
Vanessa leapt over the body and aimed her revolver at it's head, firing the remaining six shots into it's head, tearing all the way through the armour.
"Good work, 13." Dragon said with a nod.
"Thanks, Dragon." She said to him with a small smile.
"No problem." Dragon responded with a nod. They all watched as Weiss summoned a large metal arm with a sword which swiftly sliced the last Paladin into several pieces. They all looked around at the cleared area, and finally took a breath they didn't realise they were holding in.
However, an advanced Paladin ran around a corner and glared at them, preparing to charge at them.
"Another one!?" Sun exclaimed what they were all thinking. "Well, at least this guy here can destroy it-" Dragon disappeared in a cloud of yellow smoke. "You have got to be kidding me!"
Blue Four...
Ruby performed a low-swing at Neo, who somersaulted over her scythe and ducked under Ruby's next swing, and did a back-flip to dodge the third. Neo kicked Ruby in the face with a back-flip, knocking her back, and ducked under Ultra's machete swing. She swung her parasol at the android, smashing it across his face and knocking off millions of particles, which restored instantly. Ultra stabbed his machete at her, which she back-flipped out of the way of, causing the machete to bury itself in the ship.
Ruby ran at Neo with a yell, twirled Crescent Rose and attempted another low sweep, which Neo back-flipped out of the way with her consecutive twirls. Ruby lodged her scythe in the hull of the ship and fired a shot, only for Neo to shatter in an illusion, Roman standing behind the illusion, and fired a shot from his cane. It hit Ruby and sent her flying back several feet, until Ultra grabbed her by her arm, pulling her back up to her feet.
"Little Red, Big Red, you two are just determined to be the hero of Vale, aren'tcha?" Roman asked the two of them.
"I'm no hero. I'm just as bad as you." Ultra said to him, talking a step forward and in front of Ruby.
"Oh, I highly doubt that." Roman told him, laughing to himself.
"What are you doing!? Without these ships, the Grimm will destroy everything!" Ruby exclaimed, moving in front of Ultra.
"That's the plan!" Roman told her, and fired another shot from his cane. Ultra pushed Ruby out of the way and the shot hit him in the chest, sending him skidding across the hull of the ship with a hole in his chest, which quickly healed. Ruby swung at Roman, but Neo leapt over him and kicked Ruby in the cheek, using the momentum to flip her over, ending Ruby to the ground. Neo roundhouse kicked her and kicked her again, nearly sending her off the edge of the ship.
"But why!? What do you get out of it!?" Ruby asked loudly.
"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 back. Ruby charged at him, but Neo vaulted over Roman for a powerful kick. She grabbed Crescent Rose and swung at Neo, but she hooked her parasol to it and removed it from Ruby's hands.
Ultra groaned and got back up, looking at the nearby commotion. He attached his eye piece to his left eye, drawing his pistols. He fired at them, catching their attention. "Get him!" Roman ordered Neo, who smirked and extended her parasol, a blade coming out of the end. Ultra shot at her again, and she opened her parasol to stop the bullets. Much to her surprise, the bullets pierces the parasol, almost hitting her.
Ultra holstered his pistols and swung at Neo, who side-flipped out of the way, kicking him in the chin. She swung her parasol around his neck and pinned him. Ultra slammed his head back, hitting Neo in the face, disorienting her. He got out of her grip and elbowed her, making her fall onto the ground. "That's what you get for messing with the good guys, bitch!"
He took out his pistol and shot at her, which she narrowly avoided by pushing herself back and rolling backwards and onto her feet. She grabbed her parasol and flipped up, hitting Ultra in the face with her extended parasol, stabbing him through the forehead. He fell to the ground, 'dead'. Neo, with a satisfied smirk, walked back towards Roman as he looked down at Ruby, who hung off the edge of the ship with Crescent Rose buried in the hull.
"I may be a gambling man, but even I know that there are some bets you just don't take." Roman taunted her. Neo continued walking forward, dragging the blade of the parasol along the hull, and held it at Ruby. "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! Even David, the hero of Vale, can't stop them!"
Ultra got back up, rubbing his forehead as the hole healed. He saw the Nevermore approaching Ruby, he took out his pistol and shot it in the eye, making it fall to it's death. Ruby noticed the button on Neo's parasol. "You know the old saying, 'If you can't beat 'em-'" Ruby reached for the parasol to hit the button, but Neo reacted quickly enough and pulled it back with an evil smirk. "Join 'em!"
Ultra grabbed Neo, turned her around and punched her in the face, causing her to fall off the edge of the ship, quickly opening her parasol. "NEO!" Roman called out fearfully, and angrily swung his cane at Ultra, knocking him off the ship too.
"Ultra!" Ruby yelled, but with no way to save him. She climbed up and stood on the ship, glaring at Torchwick.
"I don't care what you say! We will stop them and I will stop you! BET ON THAT!" Ruby yelled, and charged at him with her semblance. Roman fired a shot from his cane and swung the handle end of his cane, scattering the dust and hitting Ruby, knocking her away. He smacked the cane against her, rammed the weapon in her stomach and fired another shot, sending her back once again.
"You got spirit, Red. But this is the real world!" Roman shacked Ruby with the butt of his cane.
"The real world is cold!" He swung the cane at her legs.
"The real world doesn't care about spirit!" Ruby kicked him in the knee, causing him to lose his balance as he readied to hit again, and got back up.
"You wanna be a hero!? Then play the part and die like every other Huntsman in history!" Roman hit her with his cane again.
"As for me, I'll do what I do best: lie, steal, cheat, and SURVIVE!" Right as Roman went for a final swing, Ultra stabbed his machete through his chest, splattering blood over the hull, much to Ruby's horror. An alpha Griffon landed next to them, attracted by Roman's negative emotions, and roared at them. Ultra swung his machete at the Griffon, sending Roman's body into it's mouth. It roared again, sending them both back several feet.
The Griffon charged at them, Ruby unmoving due to shock. Ultra charged and kicked off it's head, forcing it into the hull and causing a large explosion. Ultra grabbed his other machete and sheathed both machetes. Ultra quickly turned to Ruby. "Are you alright?" He asked her.
"You... killed him." Ruby muttered, looking at Ultra with a hint of fear in her eyes.
"Yes, I stabbed him in the chest and fed him to a Grimm, then I exploded the Grimm. He's dead. No chance for his return, he's not going to pull a Pacific Rim on us. He's dead. He was going to kill you." Ultra explained, and offered her a hand, which she backed a little away. "Ruby, we don't have time for this."
"You murdered him." Ruby muttered.
"Yes! OK, I murdered him! That's what I am, that's what I was built to do! I'm not a Hunter, I don't protect people, I do what I can to protect myself and my friends. That's why I put a machete through his chest, he was hurting you. He's a bad man, I'm a bad man, but I'm not gonna beat a child. Now get up so we both don't die in this ship crash!" Ultra yelled. Ruby blinked a couple of times and got up.
"OK, let's go." Ruby said, and at that moment, the ship started to fall to the ground. They both ran along the ship towards Crescent Rose as it started to angle to the side. Ruby grabbed Crescent Rose and leapt off the sinking ship, Ultra leaping right after her.
"Wait, I can't slow myself down." Ultra looked at the thousands of feet drop beneath him. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Ruby watched as he fell too far for her to hear as she fired shots from Crescent rose to slow herself down.
Downtown Vale...
A group of Creeps ran at Glynda, who used her telekinesis to kill the Grimm before they approached. Qrow slashed his sword at several AK-200's, turning his sword into the gun and shot another Knight. Cardin charged at an Ursa, swiftly slamming his mace at it's face, killing it, and turned to see two infected AK-220's aiming their guns at him. Before they could fire, their heads were shot off.
Ironwood reloaded his revolver while stepping out of the wreckage of his dropship, firing four explosive shots at four groups of Atlesian Knights and two regular shots at two AK-220's, and hit the last one with his cybernetic arm. He turned to Qrow, Glynda and Cardin.
"This area's secure. We need to-" Qrow cut off Ironwood by angrily looking his way and transformed his sword into a scythe and charged at the general. "Qrow! This isn't my doing!" Qrow continued charging despite this, causing Ironwood to hold his pistol defensively in case Qrow attacked. However, Qrow leapt over the General and swung at a Griffon. Before he could, Dragon appeared and sliced off the Griffon's head with his light blue lightsabre, the two of them landing on opposite sides of the General.
"Too slow, old man." Dragon said to the hunter, who narrowed his eyes annoyed.
"Don't call me old." Qrow threatened, scoffing and holding his scythe on his shoulder. Ironwood sighed, lowering his head as Glynda put a hand on his shoulder. "So what now, General?"
"Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines. And that enormous Grimm seems to be fixated on the school. Glynda, form up the local Huntsmen and establish a safe zone here in Vale. We need to evacuate Beacon. Qrow, I'm leaving that to you and my men." Ironwood told them, and turned to Dragon. "What's your name?"
"Dragon." He answered vaguely.
"You can teleport, correct?" Ironwood asked and Dragon nodded. "Dragon, I need you to deal with... the other Dragon." Ironwood ordered him, and Dragon nodded. "I still need to get to my ship."
The four of them turned towards a loud noise to see Ironwood's ship slowly nosedive into the ground.
"Well, it won't be much of a walk." Qrow joked. Around them, the Atlesian Knights tried one last time to harm the huntsman, but powered down. Dragon teleported away.
Cross Continental Transmit System Tower...
The students prepared to fight the incoming Atlesian Paladin as it charged at them. In front of them all, Dragon appeared, activated his lightsabre and threw it at the Paladin, piercing directly through the armour between it's eyes. It fell to the ground as Dragon walked over to the machine, pulling the lightsabre out and deactivating it.
"Hmm. That went better than expected." Sun pointed out. At that moment, Weiss doubled over in exhaustion, leaning on Myrtenaster.
"Weiss!" Yang called out, running towards her. "You're okay! Have you heard from Ruby?" Weiss shook her head. "Epsilon?" Weiss shook her head again. "What about Blake?"
"She went after an Alpha... with that man in black... and some members of the White Fang." Weiss told her between deep breaths.
"You look for Ruby. I'll meet up with Blake. Epsilon will be fine on his own." Yang told her and Yang ran off to find Blake while Weiss gave a thumbs up.
The Vault...
Ozpin, Jaune, Pyrrha and Benjamin all ran out of the elevator and into the Vault, sprinting down the corridor.
"What is this place?" Jaune asked them.
"It's... a type of vault." Pyrrha answered.
"You've... been here before?" He asked her, but she didn't answer.
"What does this place need to hide?" Benjamin asked Ozpin, but his question was answered when they reached the two pods, one with a comatose Amber inside.
"What? Who?" Jaune asked.
"It's an aura transfer pod, and that is a Maiden." Benjamin said, amazed at what he saw before him.
"Pyrrha! Get to the pods!" Ozpin ordered the huntress. She glanced at Jaune and ran to the pod on the right.
"Mister Arc, if you'd like to help, you can stand guard here." Ozpin told Jaune. "Benjamin, help me with the calculations and set up." Benjamin ran over the other holographic console and started typing while Jaune stood in a guarding stance.
"What do we do now?" Pyrrha asked.
"We, do nothing." Ozpin said, typing on the hologram as the pod next to her opened. "You, Miss Nikos... have a choice to make."
Pyrrha glanced at the pod, and back at Jaune, hesitating. She wiped a tear away ad climbed into the pod, which closed once she entered.
Beacon Cafeteria...
"This could've been our day! Can't you see that!?" Adam yelled at Blake, who lay helplessly on the floor.
"I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted peace!" Blake exclaimed, turning her blade into the sickle mode and shot at Adam, who blocked the bullets with his sword.
"What you want is impossible!" Adam yelled at her, sheathing his sword and backhanding Blake across her face, knocking her to the floor. "But I understand because all I want is you, Blake." Se raised her sickle again, only for Adam to kick it out of her hand. "And as I set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind deserves, I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love."
"Blake!" Yang called out, catching Blake and Adam's attention as she shot a White Fang soldier and continued looking for her teammate. "Blake! Where are you!?"
Adam looked at Blake, too see her with a terrified expression, and returned his gaze to Yang.
"Starting with her." Adam said with a smirk. Between him and Yang, Dragon appeared, glaring at Adam through his mask. Adam glared back. He unsheathed his sword and stabbed Blake in the abdomen, causing her to shriek in pain, catching Yang's attention. Dragon activated his lightsabre.
"Huh?" Yang turned to the shriek to see Adam standing upright, pulling his sword out of Blake's flesh and turning to Yang. "Get way from her!"
"No... please..." Blake whispered helplessly. Adam sheathed his sword, smiling. Yang screamed, eyes turning red and bursting into flames, and leapt at Adam.
"Stay back!" Dragon yelled, but it was too late. Adam drew his sword and sliced at Yang's right arm, the lower half separating from her. Yang flew through the air, losing consciousness and her yellow aura splattering out of her wound. She fell to the ground, completely still.
Adam started walking towards Yang, swinging his sword to the side, casting blood from the blade. Before he reached her, Blake threw herself in front of Yang, giving a determined stare at Adam.
"Why must you hurt me, Blake?" Adam asked with a frown. He swung his sword, but was stopped by Dragon's sabre.
"Run." Dragon told her, and Blake picked up Yang's body and ran. Dragon pushed his sabre back, forcing Adam back. "You're going to pay for what you did to her." Dragon swung his sabre at Adam, who easily blocked with his sword, and they traded blows. Adam fired the gun in Dragon's stomach, causing him to fall to his knees.
Adam swung his sword at Dragon's head, who barely moved back to avoid the killing slice, but his mask was severely slices, a small amount of blood coming from the slice. Dragon angrily got up, took out one of his daggers and stabbed him in his eye, causing him to yell in pain.
"Karma. It's a bitch, ain't it?" Dragon asked, taking off his mask and throwing it onto the ground. He approached Adam, yanked the dagger out of his Grimm mask and kicked him onto the floor. Dragon went to kill him with his lightsabre, but a group of Alpha Beowolves surrounded the cafeteria. Dragon turned to them and smirked.
"He's all yours." Dragon disappeared in a cloud of yellow smoke.
The Vault...
"Are you ready?" Ozpin asked Pyrrha. She looked at him and gave a small nod. "I... I need to hear you say it."
"...Yes." Pyrrha said, laying her head back staring directly ahead.
"Thank you, Miss Nikos." Ozpin thanked, and turned to Benjamin, and nodded. He pressed a few more buttons and Amber's pod raised. Amber began to glow orange, her eyes fluttering open. The orange glow travelled along the pipes connecting the two pods, and the glow surrounded Pyrrha. She screamed in pain and agony.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune yelled, turning towards her ad running to her pod, glancing between Amber and Pyrrha's pod. Jaune tried to comprehend what was going on, but Ozpin just looked away.
"I'm... so sorry."
Amber continued to gasp, barely holding onto life as her aura was drained, and her eyes widened as an arrow flew directly at her. Dragon appeared and held out his arm, stopping the arrow just before it pierced the glass pod. He threw the arrow away and glared at Cinder.
A gunshot went off, piercing straight through the glass and hit Amber in the chest, almost instantly killing her. Pyrrha slammed her fists against the glass in an attempt to open it. They all looked as the orange glow from Pyrrha left her, went back to Amber and shot through the pod and straight into Cinder.
Cinder began to glow as she levitated from the ground, long trails of fire emanating from her eyes with orange energy swirling around her. Pyrrha started banging even harder on the glass, her stress increasing. Jaune raised his sword and ran towards Cinder.
"Stay back!" Ozpin yelled at Jaune, Dragon grabbing him and throwing him back. Cinder cast a large fireball towards Dragon, who held out his hands to form a telekinetic shield, but knocked him back and dispersing the fire, some of it hitting Jaune.
"JAUNE!" Pyrrha screamed, banging her fists against the glass even harder. Dragon glared at Cinder and ripped the door off Pyrrha's pod, throwing it at Cinder,, which she easily stopped. Pyrrha leapt out of the pod, grabbed her weapons and charged at Cinder, but Ozpin stopped her.
"Take Jaune and Benjamin and get out of here! Find Glynda! Ironwood! Qrow! Ultra! Epsilon! The tower cannot fall!" Ozpin ordered her.
"Be careful what you wish for, Maker." Ozpin turned to Cinder, who was grinning, and I walked out from behind her, eyes red and skin, hair and clothes covered in the blood of humans and faunus.
"But I can help." Pyrrha insisted. Ozpin slowly turned from me and Cinder to Pyrrha.
"You'll only get in the way." Ozpin told her. Pyrrha hesitated, but led Jaune and Benjamin out of the tower. I took out my pistol and aimed at them, but Cinder put a hand on my arm.
"Let them go. They can't stop us now." Cinder said to me confidently. We both turned back to Ozpin and Dragon.
"I told you that you should have quit while you were ahead.." Dragon said, wiping the blood off his forehead. "Now, I have to stop you, Cinder." He activated his lightsabre.
"You picked the wrong side. We could have done incredible things together. Now, I have to stop you, David." Cinder said with a smirk.
"David, you have to stop that Dragon." Ozpin told him.
"You can't take on Cinder along, let along both of them. You need my help." He insisted.
"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" Ultra slammed through the roof, flipped and landed next to Ozpin. "I'm back, bitches!" He looked at the stand-off, and at me. "Holy shit..." He immediately unsheathed his machetes. Ozpin nodded at David, and he disappeared in a cloud of yellow smoke.
"This whole time... right beneath our feet. She was right about you." Cinder said to Ozpin, who turns his cane in his grip, staring hard at Cinder. Me and Ultra glared at each other.
"Such arrogance."
The four of us looked at each other, ready for the fate of Beacon, Vale and Remnant as a whole.
