This is it. The final chapter for this book… AT LAST! This book took TOO LONG to finish! This book should've been done weeks ago but due to my trip to Vegas to see my father after he had a massive stroke that almost took his life but thankfully, he pulled through. But now, he's in more turbulent times that require mine and my grandmother's support. It's just a situation covered in cobwebs. My plans going forward with future installments. So future installments will come depending on when I start during the years that I have planned for. Of course, I like to write ALL the chapters out before publishing the WHOLE thing so I can relax and focus on other things. As you have noticed, throughout this book, we're starting to become more canon-divergent which makes things interesting and tricky for me but I think I'm up for the task. Assuming I don't find a job before the selected time for me to start typing chapters but intend on finding another job, so that's a given but I'll do my best to provide the best chapters that I can do. I INTEND on finishing RWBY: Arrowfell, so I can make a story about it that's canon to the Mobian Huntsmen Universe. Also, I'm going to update Team SSKT's attack names. I want to thank you all for your support throughout this ride. All your comments and everything has helped me out! So for Book 6, I'll start writing the chapters for that around September or November, the latest, January of 2024. The release date for Book 6 will be on my profile, so keep your eye on that. Well, enough chatter, enjoy the FINAL CHAPTER of this book! I thank you. I love ya. Cya on the next one, peace!
(Future UW here! I am going to do my best in completing Arrowfell, since I sorta lost inspiration on playing it. But I did beat Sonic Frontiers tho! So of course, expect the future books to be Frontiers based. I might start typing the chapters for Book 6 either November or January 2024. Depending on how I am feeling. Been trying to find employment so I can focus on personal things. And sometime in the fall or winter, I'll be making a Instagram page for my fanfics and YT channel! I left my Twitter to be a personal account. So for the behind the scenes stuff, that's what that Instagram page will be for. Enough yapping, enjoy the LAST chapter of Book 5! Again, thank you for the support and I'll be seeing ya at Book 6!)

The scene opens to a black void as the sounds of falling debris are heard. Then footsteps were heard, echoing in the darkness. Then the sound of a woman breathing hard. Then we hear wind as we see Raven Branwen, pouring every ounce of power she had to save her daughter from being crushed from the huge rock that was edging closer to Yang Xiao Long. Her eyes widened, as she seemed to be too late till a voice shouted:
"CHAOS CONTROL!"
(-Music: Chaos Control [ Shadow the Hedgehog ]-)
Time began to warp as things were slowing down rapidly as Knuckles Kaji who is in his Chaos Form covered in a green outline as he prepares himself to run. But he turned to Cinder who was still frozen in chronostasis, he did a push kick on her and then ran as fast as he could. He gripped Raven's hand that caused her body to have a faint ice blue glow around her body as she was free from the effects of time manipulation. The Branwen Matriarch could barely fathom on what's happening as she was pulled along by the Guardian. Much to his dismay, the time freeze was beginning to be undone as the large rock began its gradual collision course towards its target. Knuckles grits his teeth as he pushes himself farther to his limit as the falling debris gradually picks up speed.
"I can't carry you and Yang at the same time! You better have some good reflexes!" Knuckles told the Spring Maiden, who had an incredulous expression on her face.
"You are going to do-"
Using his strength, he threw Raven as hard as he could as she was launched from him, passed Yang, and then somersaulting to the desert landscape in the vault. As Knuckles got closer to Yang, his fist was covered in green fire as he leapt and did an upwards punch on the rock (Rising Flame Fist) and grabs the Blonde Brawler as the large rock broke apart as the time freeze ended as the two flew in the vault as the remaining debris hit the pathway, damaging it more till it started coming apart. Then Cinder was sent hurling to the cavern walls and then made descent as her mask began to shatter revealing the heavily scarred left side as she fell to the abyss below.
(-Music: Loneliness [ Naruto ]-)
Yang lands face first into the sand while the Echidna somersaults. She rose her face from the sand as she spat it out and glared at Knuckles. "I appreciate the save Knuckles but could you have done it without me getting a face full of sand?"
He rolled his eyes as he dusted himself as sees Raven grabbing the Relic of Knowledge from the stone pedestal. "We can take it from here Raven."
She doesn't respond as Raven looks at the mystical and ancient item in her grasp, then she looks at the crumbling cavern outside of the vault where debris continues to fall and her eyes widen as she notices the pathway falling apart. This caused the Powerhouse Duo to look at the crumbling pathway as Yang gasps as the last of the pathway crumbles before their eyes. This brought a somber and dolor atmosphere as the Branwen Matriarch approached the two.
"That's unfortunate." Raven simply states, then she turns to her daughter with a slight glare. "I warned you, Yang. I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Qrow and Oz. So you can believe me when I say this wasn't personal. Thanks to the chaos you and your friends caused upstairs. I knew you could handle it. You're my daughter after all. And you have been trained well. Color me impressed."
Yang glared back at her mother. "Qrow and Oz told me how the Maiden powers are transferred. The girl you found... she would've had to have trusted you if you were in her final thoughts - cared about you a lot."
"I'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed." Raven sarcastically says with a scoff.
"No, I'm starting to ask questions like you said. So tell me... what happened to the last Spring Maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness?"
Knuckles closes his violet eyes, like he expected this to happen. "You killed her didn't you?"
The Spring Maiden's red eyes shift to him. "What does it matter to you?"
Yang gasps in horror as she curls her hands into fists. "How could you?!"
"She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for this world! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did–"
""Wasn't personal."" The Blonde Brawler parroted her mother.
"It was mercy!" The Tribe Leader hissed.
"Which is it, mom? Are you merciful, or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into that trap because you knew I could handle it, or because it meant you could get what you wanted?!"
"It's not that simple. You don't know me, you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make!"
Yang was seething but she took a breath and closed her eyes, to calm her mind. "You're right. I don't know you. I only know the Raven dad told me about. She was troubled, and complicated, but she fought for what she believed in, whether it was her team or her tribe! Did you kill her too?"
Raven's eyes widened and looks away, before turning back to face her daughter again as her ire grew, thus activating her Maiden powers. "I've stared death in the face over and over again! And every time I've spat in that face and survived, because I'm strong enough to do what others won't!"
"Oh, shut up! You don't know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself!" Yang balls her hand into a fist which shakes before pointing at Raven. "You might be powerful, but that doesn't make you strong."
"Who do you think you are, lecturing me?! Standing there, shaking like a scared little girl?!" Inquired an indignant Raven.
Then the Blonde Brawler approaches her mother with a calm look on her face, which made Knuckles smile a bit in approval. "Yeah, I'm scared. But I'm still standing here! I'm not like you, I won't run, which is why you're going to give me the Relic."
"And why would I–"
Knuckles turns to the Spring Maiden with an intense look on her face. "You fear Salem. With the power of Spring, you are already a target. And eventually, she will hunt you down to the ends of Remnant if you have the Relic. And she will take the power of Spring from you. To make things worse, she's probably seen what happened! Thus, your days are already numbered Raven!"
"Or she can come after me." Yang solemnly says, making her mother's eyes widen when she hears her daughter say that, before turning back to her. "And I'll be standing there, waiting for her."
After an intense moment of silence, Raven lets out a rueful sigh while deactivating her Maiden Powers.
"You don't want to do this, Yang…"
"Nope. But I'm gonna do it anyway."
Yang walks forward and holds her hand out for her mother to hand the Relic to her. Raven looks down before facing her daughter, face-to-face as a tear drips from left eye. Reluctantly, the Spring Maiden hands Yang the Relic.
"I…" Raven holds her arm as tears well up in her eyes. "I'm sorry…"
Yang's eyes were welling up with tears as well as she felt her mother's pain. "Yeah… me too."
"Mission accomplished." The Guardian asked while the Blonde Brawler walked back to him. "Before you go Raven. I have a request for you. All I want is for you is to keep him company. He needs you."
The two hear the sound of one of Raven's portals as well as the sound of flapping wings from behind. They look behind them and see a black feather fall gently to the ground. Tears then stream from Yang's eyes, before she falls to her knees as she breaks down crying with Knuckles comforting her.
(-Music Ends-)
Back on the surface where a silver ship with a yellow front, 4 wings, features a large hangar where several aircrafts are kept, on the front of this is a runway with palm trees lining it, armed with laser cannons, missile launchers, and its main weapon, the Sonic Power Cannon. Equipped with a powerful energy projector which can produce a deflector shield or a cloaking field. And its engine, the Warp Field Driver. It's the "Blue Typhoon"! The ship is hovering away from the collapsing Haven Academy as the scene changes into the interior of the bridge where the remaining members of SST, RWB, JNPR, Qrow Branwen, Oscar Pine, King Elias Acorn, and Princess Sally Acorn.
"Tails, how are their vitals?" Sally inquired as she turned to him.
Tails began typing away on a holographic keyboard as a holographic screen showed Knuckles and Yang's Aura Levels and heart rate. "Their Aura levels are satisfactory and their heart rate is normal. I don't know what's going on down there besides Haven literally falling apart, that would be more than enough of an incentive to make my exit from the vault."
"I agree with you on that sentiment, Tails. Perhaps, they are facing the enemy that went down there before them." Elias surmised as he was in thought.
Pyrrha closed her eyes as she tried to sense any malicious forces, she couldn't sense any till she felt a very faint source of malice. Then she opened her vivid-green eyes with a dour expression on her face. "I sensed one… it was very faint… it was Cinder."
Everyone immediately shifted their focus towards the redhead in concern after she made that statement.
"Are you certain, Pyrrha?" Sally inquired.
"I am sure, but it feels like she's been defeated. For now." The Invincible Girl confirmed with a nod.
"The prophecy." Shadow spoke up as everyone's eyes were on him now. "The dark wings of Spring will rebel against the Fallen flames. It seems that Raven and Cinder have engaged in combat but with the aid of Knuckles and Yang, they have defeated her. That's why her Aura is faint. She's unconscious."
"I wish I could say that would be the end of her but I know it isn't." Weiss frowned as her worry for her teammate grew.
"This is quite disconcerting for me as well but all we can do is hope for the best." Ozpin said. "Since the threat has been stopped. Everyone has fought admirably. And we appreciate your assistance in this strenuous time, your highness."
"No need to thank us. You looked after our best heroes and allies in arms, we should be the one thanking you Ozpin." The King thanked the former Headmaster with a smile on his face. "And we shall celebrate once our allies have returned. It's all a matter of patience."
"Unfortunately, some of us, patience ain't our strong suit, your highness." Qrow quipped as he was referring to a certain blue Hedgehog Faunus in the room.
Sonic rolls his eyes at the job with a smirk. "At least I stay sober throughout the fight, Drunkle! And besides, you got tossed around like a rag doll against Hazel! More than me and Shadow! Hahaha!"
"Now that I think about it, what is this thing we're on? This is unlike any Bullhead I have ever seen." Ruby inquired as her mood began to change to a more excitable one.
"Hehe, I call it the Blue Typhoon! This is my best invention yet!" The Kitsune Faunus grins at the Hooded Huntress' excitement as he rubs the bottom of his nose with his pointer finger. "Thanks to I.R.I.S. and Knuckles' help, we were able to put this beauty together! This is what my free time went to! It's capable of space travel!"
Nora lets out a big gasp as she zips to where Tails is sitting, startling him slightly. "WOW! I wonder if there are any aliens out there! We should go and traverse the stars to see if there are other life forms besides us!"
"I don't think aliens exist, Nora. Back on Mobius, yes, there is extraterrestrial life since Sonic nearly gave up his life to stop the Xorda from turning our planet into a black hole…" Tails says before yawning and rubbing his eyes making Blake giggle. "What's so funny sis?"
Blake shook her head in amusement and ruffled his hair. "Nothing little brother."
"Hey Sal. What happened while we were gone? I recall that Knuckles said that you guys were fighting against Needlenose." Sonic said as he looked at her, wanting to know what happened to his friends and allies while Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and himself stuck in Remnant.
Sally bore a forlorn expression that really shifted the mood into a more somber feeling. She sighs as she looks at her hands. "You are correct, Sonic. With you five not present, Snively began his reign of terror… but he wasn't alone in his conquest. He had allied himself with a dictatorship that originated in the Dragon Kingdom called the "Iron Dominion"."
"WHAT?!" Sonic and Tails cried in unison with horrified looks.
"From what we learned; they were a monarchy of their own ruled by an Overlander, or in this instance, a human known as "Regina Ferrum" who bore the moniker of the "Iron Queen". After Snively sent the five of you away to Remnant, their assault against us began…" Elias somberly states as he tightened his grip on the handle of his sword in anger. "They nearly destroyed us… but thanks to Rotor's quick thinking, we were saved from destruction from "Iron Khan"."
"Regina had the ability to manipulate anything that was technological, so she took control of Khan and attempted to destroy us but thanks to Rotor's suggestion, we need a Power Ring to restore his free will." The Princess continued after her brother spoke.
The Royal Siblings continued to explain the events of the Iron Dominion Takeover and by the time they concluded their explanation, their audience bore surprised looks with the exception of Shadow bore an expression of indifference.
Sally exhaled a breath of relief. "That's what happened after you left."
Ozpin smiled, being impressed by the feats and accomplishments of the Freedom Fighters. "I believe we can learn a lot from the examples you have made, your highness. Even facing such insurmountable odds, you managed to secure a victory that ensured peace for your kingdom and your world. I would have asked you to join us against Salem but I am sure that you have to return to your world for the time being?"
"Merlin has informed me of the conflict that you are in against this Salem…" Elias placed a hand on his chin being in thought. "I have to ponder on this a bit more."
Sally approaches Sonic's seat and places her hand on his shoulder, with a kind smile on her face. "Don't beat yourself up for not being there. From what I heard from Knuckles, we are on the same boat. You are representing the Freedom Fighters Sonic. You four are trailblazers of freedom here on Remnant. And you have the friends and allies that you have made here that became an extension to us."
Sonic sighed. "You're right Sally but it doesn't help us feel any better-"
"The King and the Princess have a point Faker." Shadow spoke as all their eyes fell on him in attention. "Also, it has come to my attention that you have always been a major participant in the conflicts that yourself and the Freedom Fighters are involved in. You are their ace in the hole. You're cocky, impulsive, and egotistical. But when the chips are down; your strong sense of justice and your carefree persona is what inspires others to fight by your side. That's what the Freedom Fighters relied on all this time. As much as I hate to admit it, you are one of the most powerful beings on Mobius. Besides your speed, you have the ability to adapt and grow. And that's what makes you a powerful ally and a very dangerous enemy. In each of our battles, you were always the improving type. With little to no training… and during our time here in Remnant, my respect for you grew. You should be proud of your friends for being able to hold their own against an enemy that is not only kin to the Doctor but a threat that had the aid of all of the Mobian Clans that they had in their beck and call. They can take care of themselves."
"Heh, Stripes is right Blue. Your friends aren't a bunch of pushovers. They have what it takes to be the greatest Huntsmen and Huntresses." Qrow said with a grin on his face.
"I concur. When I first heard about you four from Mister Xiao Long, I have to admit, I was uncertain if you four would bring anything to the forefront but as I observed you all, I noticed that you have a powerful effect on the students. And when Beacon was attacked. You four took the initiative and unified all the students, not just in Vale, but in all the Kingdoms. With the experience that you all acquired, you lead the way to Vale's survival. And you prevented many casualties and those children who fought alongside you were able to return home to their families." The Former Headmaster said as he looked at Sonic, Tails, and Shadow with a smile of approval. But then he looks at the crumbling Haven Academy. "Maybe next time, we can lower the collateral damage."
"It wasn't our fault Professor! It was Cinder's!" Ruby huffed as she crossed her arms.
"I'm afraid that I agree with Professor Ozpin." The Twin-Tailed Genius sighs and rubs the back of his head. "We are indirectly involved in the destruction of Haven. True, our enemies won't care about their surroundings but this is government property. WAIT! Where's Lionheart?! Hope he's not still in there!"
"He's dead." The Ultimate Life Form simply answered.
"WHAT?!" Everyone said in unison, making him flinch due to his enhanced hearing.
"Can you be any LOUDER?" Shadow growled as he rubs ears.
"Well excuse us for being shocked! Do you know who killed him?!" The Former Schnee Heiress inquired.
Shadow's eyes go to Oscar. "When Sonic and I performed the Light Speed Attack, after I laid my strikes to Lionheart, I threw him down the hall to where his office was. By the time we were done. He might've been unconscious and been crushed underneath the rubble and debris or a certain witch might be the one who killed him. I wouldn't want cowards like Lionheart to be in my group if I ran things like her…"
"That possibility is not that far-fetched…" Ozpin muttered.
(-Music: Avatar Theme [ Avatar: The Last Airbender ]-)
Then a frantic peeping was heard as a holographic screen showing Knuckles and Yang's Aura Levels and heart rates. But this time, a third bar appeared with the words [ Chaos Energy In Use ] in the bars.
"They must be coming up! Get to your seats!" Tails told everyone as they scrambled to their spots. He grabbed a plane radio speaker and placed it close to his mouth.
"Attention ALL passengers! Attention ALL passengers! We're getting a Chaos Energy Alert! Everyone hold on to something! We are about to take off!"
While he was speaking, we got several shots of the Faunus, Mobian-Faunus Hybrids, and Freedom Fighters as they all looked at the PA.
The ship rose from its position as it went further upwards and then flew further away as the ruined academy had a green glow as the ground was shaking even more till a green tower of fire emerged from the rubble. As the Blue Typhoon made stopped, being a good distance away from the fiery tower, we get a shot of the Freedom Fighters, Ilia Amitola, Ghira Belladonna, Kali Belladonna, and other Faunus and Mobian Faunus-Hybrids watching a screen holographic screen that is showing the flaming tower. Then the camera slowly zooms towards another Echidna Faunus light brown skin, violet eyes, pink dreads with purple-tipped bangs, a pink tail in a zig-zag shape, her left foremost dreadlock is fully robotic and the others sport various metallic plates, her left arm is fully covered in metal rings while right arm has a singular metal ring around it. She wears a black tank top with teal padding on the left side, a yellow-orange belt that had her Double-barrel, multi-purpose proton gun and taser, pink pants, white gloves, and mechanical-looking teal boots. She is "Julie-Su"! She looks at the screen with hope in her eyes.
"Please! I plead with the Walkers that you're okay Knuckles!" Julie-Su thought as she clasped her hands together and lowered her eyes as she closed her eyes.
[A/N: Look up Julie-Su the Human by finikart. ]
Back to the bridge, everyone was watching the screen intently until a white glow appeared in the middle of the room, temporarily blinding them till a figure came out of it and the white glow disappeared as the figure landed on their feet. Everyone uncovered their eyes as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and JNPR let out a collective gasp as they saw who the figure was.
"YANG!" They said in unison.
Yang grinned as he held her hand out, stopping them from approaching her. "Before you all smother me with hugs, look at what I goooot~"
With her left hand, she pulls out the Relic of Knowledge making everyone's jaw drop and eyes wide as saucers. Then Yang turns around as she faces the screen as the camera pans towards the screen to the flaming tower as a fireball emerged from the flames and stayed its place as a familiar silhouette appeared within the green fireball. The silhouette rose its arms as the flaming tower dissipated. Then it raised its left hand as its eyes opened to be magenta, causing a big fire tornado to appear as it enshrouded the academy and its premises.
"What is he doing?" Ruby asked her sister.
"Just enjoy the show lil sis." Her older sister winked at her with a mischievous grin on her face.
"What does she mean by that?" Sally inquired.
Sonic chuckles as he leans back and places his feet on the dash. "Just enjoy the show Sal hehe!"
The silhouette that was covered in shadow revealed to be Chaos Knuckles who raised both of his arms around till his hands were facing straight and flat as the flame tornado began to diminish in size.
"Did he…?" Qrow sputtered in disbelief.
"He did. Your four continue to surprise me. That in itself is a feat all of its own." Ozpin smiled at the sight before him.
What everyone in the Blue Typhoon is seeing is a perfectly restored Haven Academy. In pristine condition. Even the vault below was restored to prime condition. The Remnant Natives were in total disbelief of the display of the out-worldly powers that come from a different realm of their own.
(-Music Ends-)
(-Song: The Light of Hope [ Sonic Forces ]-)
The Chaos-powered Guardian descends to the repaired school ground and places a finger in his ear as he gazes at the large ship in the distance. "Hey Tails. Is Yang on the ship?"
"Yeah. She's on the bridge with us along with the relic intact." He answered happily. "We can call the police and send all of Adam's supporters to them."
"You do that, Tails. I'll be right here in the courtyard. Oh yeah, you can say it." Knuckles said with a smirk as he looked up at the sky, seeing that dawn had arrived.
Tails' face lit up like a kid in the candy shop as he grabbed the plane radio speaker. "I've been waiting to say this!"
"Say it with gusto Tails!" Said an ecstatic Nora.
"Oh boy! This is going to be a party for the AGES!" Sonic grins as he nods at Tails.
After receiving affirming nods from everyone, his smile widens as he clears his throat and brings the speaker close to his lips.
"All that I see now is not the same
All you remember has gone away
But you're still standing here
So much has happened; it's hard to bear
Shadows of sadness within your stare
But still, you're standing here."
"Everyone! This is Captain Prower speaking, and I would like to announce…"
"There beyond, the future's down the road
But the journey won't be easy
Rising up, and standing on your own
With a beauty in your eyes, shining…"
Everyone paid attention to the PA wondering what Tails had to say till he paused. This caused everyone to be confused and a bit concerned by the sudden pause as they began muttering.
"What was he going to say?" Asked a Goat Faunus Man.
"I don't really know. Hope it's not too serious." Responded an equally befuddled Sheep Faunus Woman.
"What's with the suspense?! Is the mission finished or what?!" Said a tall, thick-bodied. and muscular Crocodile Faunus who has fair skin, short green hair, red-orange eyes and scales that went down from his back to his green crocodile tail. He wore a light green sleeveless trench coat that showed his strong arms, a black sleeveless shirt underneath, dark green pants with a red belt, white gloves with black-and-white cuffs and shoes embellished with gold buckles, a large gold chain around his neck, and he had black wireless clunky headphones on his head. He is "Vector the Crocodile". The de-facto leader of the Chaotix!
[A/N: Look up Modern Team Chaotix by tsukikage. ]
"Hmmm… I don't sense anything amiss, Vector." Said a fair skinned Chameleon Faunus with phlox colored hair with bangs on the back, a yellow horn on his forehead, three black scales on his back, a coiled tail, gold eyes, wearing a royal purple colored ninja-yoroi, a black jumpsuit underneath the ninja-yoroi, an electric purple scarf that reached passed his mouth, and dark purple and black shoes with more elaborate cuffs and studded bands around the wrists and ankles. He is "Espio the Chameleon"! The Spy and Ninja of the Chaotix!
"Vector! I want some chocolate! Do you see any chocolate anywhere?!" Inquired a Bee Faunus who was smaller than the average height who had fair skin, gold eyes, a stinger behind him, antennae sporting three black stripes each, wearing a orange vest with a bee emblem on the left, bee colored puffy pants, white and orange shoes, white gloves with black cuffs, and wearing a black flight helmet with red trim and goggles that hid his short black hair. He is the Prince of the Golden Hive Colony! "Charmy Bee"!
A gloved hand held Charmy's right hand. This hand belonged to another Bee Faunus who had a similar height to Charmy's. She had fair skin, yellow and black antennae, blue eyes, a stinger behind her, blond hair that had the front lifted into a high, curled bang, wearing a brown bomber jacket with pale yellow cuffs, a short pink dress with flowers on the hem, pink shoes with yellow cuffs and pompoms, gloves similar to those worn by Charmy, and a necklace with the same bee emblem that is on Charmy's vest. She is Charmy's Fiance. "Saffron Bee"! "Charmy, we'll get you some chocolate after Tails' announcement okay?"
[A/N: Look up Team Chaotix by finikart. ]
"Okay Saff!" The Bee Prince chimed with a toothy smile on his face that made the girl giggle.
"Are you okay Ray?" Mighty asked a tan skinned Flying Squirrel Faunus who had yellow hair, a yellow bushy tail, blue eyes, wearing a blue jacket with a white t-shirt inside, a long light blue scarf, brown shorts, flight goggles, white gloves with blue cuffs, a dog tag that was below the scarf, and blue shoes with white cuffs. He is "Ray the Flying Squirrel"! "Getting anxious?"
[A/N: Look up Ray the Flying Squirrel by tsukikage. ]
He gently tapped his fingers together. "I-I guess I am… I'm just nervous about what Tails is going to say next."
"I don't thin-"
"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"
"You have not lost a thing
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart
You've not lost a thing
Whatever you do
Just know that your tomorrow will be waiting for you!"
This sudden jubilance from the Twin-Tailed Genius did surprise everyone but then Sun cheered, thus spurring everyone in the Blue Typhoon to cheer for joy as everyone hugged, kissed, and high-fived their loved ones. Indeed. They have won and liberated not only Haven, but the city as well. Their cheers and cries shook the ship as they weren't the only ones rejoicing, the group that were on the bridge joined in the celebration of their victory. Then we get a shot of the Blue Typhoon being in the morning blue sky.
"Ever so precious a vision shared
The future you promised on that special day
Still, memories never fade
Friends of old, back from long ago
Will come again, just to say hello
And it's something that you know."
"Find the strength that lies within your soul
And believe that you can do it
Rising up and standing on your own
With a beauty in your eyes, shining…"
Then we get a shot of Qrow, Ghira, and Kali talking to the Mistrallian Police Force as the officers took Adam's supporters into their custody. Sally points to the trees, telling the chief where they can find Adam and the other assailants. We get a shot of Tails, Blake, and Sun talking to Iila, for a brief moment, she smiles. We find Shadow by his lonesome but then his eyes open as he smirks a little seeing two people. First was a red, black, yellow, green, silver, gray robot that had a tall and stocky body and arms with a red visible Greek symbol on the front of the left and back of the right with red handlebars on the top, one circling pipe around the waist with two flaps attached and a jet installed in his back, a stripe running from his head to stomach stands out to be a separate piece of metal, he had one extra finger and two hands with yellow wrists studded with large spikes like a dog collar, and just below his stripe is a plate of clear material that allows others to see some of his inner workings. Then a Bat Faunus that had a bust size similar to Yang's and short white hair that flared upwards on the back, tan skin, wide bat ears, teal eyes, blue eyeshadow, large bat wings that were black on the outside and purple in the inside, she had small emerald earrings on her human ears, she wore a dark skin tight pants, a pink, heart-shaped chestplate-like top with white trim and zipper underneath, and tall white gloves and high heeled boots with pink cuffs with zippers underneath the cuffs and pink hearts on the toes. They are the remaining members of Team Dark! "Rouge the Bat" and "E-123 Omega"! The three began chatting away, catching up with each other.
[ A/N: Look up Rouge the Bat by bangboodoragon. ]
"You have not lost a thing
Whatever may come
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart
You've not lost a thing
Whatever you do
Just know that your tomorrow will be waiting for you!"
"Sow a seed in the ground and let it know!
It's something special!
Let it bloom, let its flowers ever bloom!
Many friends gather as emotions grow
And great power starts to flow!"
The scene transitions as a leaf blows by as we're in the Haven Academy courtyard where the Guardian is located. Sitting by the doors of the academy in a meditative position as a gentle breeze blew as Knuckles opened his eyes to see his teammates, the members of Team RWBY, JNPR, Qrow, and Oscar. Then the camera raises to show the coming large militia of Faunus, the Freedom Fighters, and the Chaotix conversing with one another like they were longtime friends.
"You have not lost a thing!
Whatever may come!
The light of hope is always shining there in your heart!
You've not lost a thing
Whatever you do
Just know that your tomorrow will be waiting for you!"
In the distance, we see a transparent Tikal and Merlin watching the exchange with smiles on their faces.
"They have done it, Neo Walker." Tikal said.
"Indeed my liege. But this is only the beginning of their war against Salem…" Merlin solemnly states as he looks at the morning sun as it rises. "This will push them to their absolute limit as they will learn more of the sins of the Cursed One that remains among them… they have to trust in the bonds that they have forged with each other to endure her temptations and her attacks through her servants. And the changes that Remnant will soon endure thanks to my nephew's attempt of Chaos Control on his own. Our worlds will soon become one... and this will change everything."
Tikal closes her eyes. "I do agree. Their journey forward will be filled with greater trials and tribulations… but I have faith that they can pull through. Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails have shown that they will not let those dictate their fates. They have fought against greater powers beyond all comprehension and came out victorious. So they shall do so again against the Immortal Witch Salem."
"Only time will tell…" Merlin says as his and Tikal's bodies dissolve into the wind.
"Only time will tell."
"Never have to give up
Wherever you go
Know inside that you will never be there alone!"
Back to the Haven Courtyard, it was abuzz with merriment and jolliness. It was a huge party that all were welcome to take part in. The Guardian was chatting with the members of the Chaotix, sharing tales of his time in Remnant, they all had a couple of laughs. But then, he sees Julie-Su approach him with her violet eyes observing his being before enveloping him in an embrace. He embraced her back as two hearts become one.
"Haven't lost anything…"
The two soulmates broke their embrace and looked into each other's eyes as another gentle breeze blew. They began leaning in towards each other.
"Whatever may come…"
Their lips are getting closer to each other as Team RWBY were emotional seeing this touching reunion. The couples of the group were following their lead as Jaune and Pyrrha shared a kiss of their own. Ren and Nora only embraced each other while he gave her a kiss on her head as the morning sun began to leave the horizon.
"The light of hope is always shining there in your heart."
Knuckles and Julie-Su finally kissed as the morning rays shone through them as Qrow, Oscar, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Sonic alongside Sally, Tails, and Shadow along with Rouge and Omega look at the morning sun as it signifies a new beginning for the Kingdom of Mistral as they become silhouettes. Then we see the two Echidna Mobian-Faunus Hybrids with their foreheads touching with their eyes closed and smiles on their faces as the scene freezes in place as the camera slowly closes in on their faces before the scene fades to black.
