Alright here is chapter 13. And I apologize for the wait. Summer's been fun and college is here. But don't worry. I WON'T abandon you guys. I'll still keep going. So hopefully I can make up to you guys with this. Let's begin. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.

Crystal was walking around the Schnee estate, sighing a bit. Thinking on the plan that Ember had established a few days ago, having had relative silence so far. "Going back to the past huh? Is...it really worth it Ember?"

"She'll never find out." A voice said behind her.

Crystal turned and drew her rapier in time to block strings flying at her, the Puppetmaster now in front of her. "Y-You're..."

He grinned under his hood and swung the strings back, the strings dancing across his fingertips. "Sorry girl, but I'm afraid I can't let your plan go through." He swung his strings at her, causing her to combat roll behind a statue, which was sliced into pieces, Crystal panting in a panic as the figure slashed at her again. Causing her to break out into a run.

"No you don't." He hissed, throwing his strings out. Only for them to get shot down from bullets. Causing both to turn.

There stood Ryan, now grown up with a smoking pistol in his hand. Slowly approaching the Puppetmaster

"You...you're the one who did it. Who killed him...who did this." He muttered, gripping where his automail arm is.

"Glad to see you remember." The Puppetmaster countered.

Ryan went silent for a minute before glancing at Crystal. "Crystal, get to Ember and the others, I'll handle this."

"But Dad-"

"That's an order young lady!"

Crystal flinched and nodded, before running off.

Ryan spun his pistols and aimed them at Ash's murderer, who readied his strings.

"Say hello to Ash for me." The Puppetmaster hissed, charging at him.

Crystal rushed into the room the others were staying. "Guys!"

They all turned to her, Ember sitting with some bandages around her. "What's wrong Crystal?" She asked.

"The...the guy! The guy who killed Ash! He's here!"

The two siblings paled and got up. Grabbing their weapons. "Where is he?!"

"He's fighting my Dad...but we can't go after him."

"Why?!" They both argued.

"...Because he knows, he knows about our plan. Dad is buying us time...we need to take it."

"...So you've decided?" Ember asked.

"Yes...we will go to the past." She finished.

They all glanced at each other before nodding. Gathering their things quickly, Crystal ordering a Servant to grab Sofia and take her to Weiss in Atlas, before running out of the estate. Seeing the explosions and gunshots being heard.

"Be careful Dad..." Crystal muttered softly, hoping her Dad does not befall Ash's fate.

The five arrived in a clearing. All of them taking a moment to catch their breath.

"So...what's the plan?" Calida asked for specifics.

"We go to the past, and depending on how accurate Crystal is, we either hide out until near the Vytal Tournament, or we directly go warn Father." Ember answered.

"And the payoff?" Duran asked.

"...If it all works, we'll vanish." She finished.

"So it's a lost cause." Duran mused.

"Like your Rivalry with Lance?" Garnet snapped back.

"..."

"Enough! We have our plan, our way to make our plan work...all we have to do is put it in action." Ember reminded.

All of them stood silent before nodding.

Ember and Garnet walked beside Crystal and nodded, both of them assuming Super Saiyan form and put their hands on her shoulder, starting to empower her.

Crystal held her hands out and focused, channeling the full power of her Semblance to try and make a rift in time aimed at their destination...and more importantly their timeline. Some time passed before the air started to shift a bit, the wind starting to stop, and animals to flee. The space in front of them cracked a bit, but struggled to fully break.

"I...can't...it's...too strong." Crystal whimpered at the strain.

"No! We can't stop now!" Ember argued.

"I-I'm sorry...I'm not...strong enough." Crystal said dejectedly.

"No...I will not let our Father's sacrifice, be in Vain!" Ember roared as her hair suddenly gained a more spiked edge, lightning crackling around her as she accessed the second stage of Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan 2.

Crystal felt the power surge into her, causing her to funnel it out before it hurt her. The space cracking more and more...before it shattered, a blue and pink swirling portal in its place.

Calida cheered. "You did it!"

The three collapsed on the ground, panting loudly from the power used into it. Sitting up after a bit, the siblings returning to normal.

"Super Saiyan 2 huh? Gotta one up me all the time Ember?" Garnet joked.

"Oh shut up, it helped." Ember snapped back.

They all got up and stared at the portal, grabbing their stuff.

"This is it...we go through...and we're never coming back. Are you sure you guys want to do this?" Ember asked, looking at the other three.

"I never want this monster to come within a year of Sofia." Crystal snapped in defense for her sister.

"He needs to go down, for everyone's sake. If this is the price, let it be us to pay it." Calida assured.

Ember turned to Duran. "Duran?"

The Grimm Hunter hybrid stood in place silently before sighing. "Someone has to keep you all from getting yourselves killed, I suppose that has to be me." He muttered, looking up with a smile.

They all smiled back and turned to the portal. Ember holding out her hands. "Lock hands, so we don't get separated." She ordered.

Crystal held Garnet's hand, blushing deeply, Garnet held Ember's, who held Calida's, who held Duran's.

Ember looked up at the sky softly, her eyes tearing up a bit. "Farewell Father...we'll meet again soon." She whispered, before they all leaped in.

To be continued.

And there it is. Number 13 done. What happened to Ryan? Will there be any complications? What awaits the others in the past?! R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out. And sorry for the wait. Just two more chapters and this is done. Hope you guys like it.
