Shepherd awoke ironically again, but this time to Yang shouting at him, and not on his own. It turns out he was right in front of the door, and she was late to class. "ughh fine I'll get up" Shepherd groaned as he woke up, and as Yang left, went back to sleep. Soon He'd go down and sneak some food from the cafeteria, then go back to the room and do the same at dinner. Every day until the final day of the festival went like this.
On the final day Yang somehow coaxed Shepherd into going to Pyrrha's fight because she was their friend. He would rather die but went anyways because it's better than doing nothing. So after a bit of watching Pyrrha destroy this Penny girl, something odd happened. The Penny girl was cut into pieces by her own blades, and all that Shepherd did was make a "hmm" sound because he really didn't care. Then the odd thing happened, a giant raven came through the roof of the area... and behind it were a bunch of Cacodemons fly in as well. People instantly started screaming and panicing, and Blake and Weiss desperately tried to calm them to no avail. Shepherd immediately knew what was happening as he summoned a shotgun, luckily he had healed enough to summon his weapons again. He jumped down into the area to save pyrrha before the demons got her, as she had been surrounded by imps moments before. Quickly Shepherd got to her and shot the remaining imps she couldn't kill and she thanked him and he shouted to her "Go help the others! Evacuate!" Shepherd then made his way outside the area, getting halted by security and demons. Luckily the demons were being fought off by other students as Shepherd decimated them with the shotgun's short range blast. Hell knights began to tear into the stands and were putting up a fight with their sheer numbers. "Everyone fall back! Fall back!". Shepherd yelled as he desperately tried to hold off the forces of hell from the retreating students, many of which were killed by other demons that had managed to flank him. Knowing he was losing Shepherd retreated while still firing ahead into the seemingly endless horde of demons, knowing he was barely biding time for the reaming students. Soon he caught up with the fleeting students, and traded his shotgun for a sword of fire and began to cut through the demons, and some kids stood with him. Ultimately they had to abandon their position and kept running to where everyone else was fighting grimm and hellspawn. The onslaught was almost never ending, and everyone stood firmly but they were beginning to give. Shepherd began to just duel wield his sword and a double barreled shotgun a student had dropped that had a sawed-off stock. Slowly the demons were beginning to overrun some of the other students, and sadly Shepherd watched many die. Soon everyone just ran as demons were everywhere and grimm were beginning to get killed by the demons, bodies were flying everywhere to. It was ironically hell. Shepherd eventually ran into Yang and Blake and arrived just in time to see Yang get her arm ripped off by a Barron of Hell, her screams filled Shepherd's ears but he knew he must at least save Blake. In sheer desperation he charged into the Barron and knocked it over, stunning it. That gave Shepherd enough time to sprint off with Blake in his arms. Suddenly reaching a crashed bulkhead and seeing poor Alastienian soldiers getting ripped apart and crushed by the demons, Shepherd had to keep going. Picking up an assault rifle as he ran past, Quickly sprinting to the bulkhead landing pads to drop off Blake near Weiss. Weiss screamed when she saw the two, knowing something was wrong when she didn't see Yang. "Where's Yang?!" She kept crying as Shepherd told her she was gone. He knew their leader would take it worse, and Shepherd didn't want to be around to see that. Running off to rejoin the fight in the streets, Shepherd noticed something. There were barely any hunters around, only dead bodies. Knowing what that meant he trudged on, to turn a corner and see Jaune getting his ass handed to him. Sighing Shepherd filled the Hell Knight with lead that was pounding Jaune's poor shield to shreds. Shepherd ran over to make sure the poor boy was ok and to take him back when the boy screamed "Shepherd! Ruby's gone to find Yang!" Shepherd knew what was going to happen when they found her.
As Shepherd and Jaune ran through the streets and evaded Demons, they soon saw something that filled them both with terror. Jaune didn't know what they were but Demon Priests where falling through the skies to summon more demons and aid them. Hell was trying to take over Remnant. After seeing that they both continued to sprint through the streets as Jaune kept asking Shepherd what those things were, calling them Grimm. After running a bit further they ran around a corner to see Ruby frantically fighting a pair of Barrons, her scythe blade barely cutting into them. Shepherd nodded at Jaune as they both flanked the Barrons and jumped onto them, and began to repeatedly stab their swords into them. Shepherd yelled for Ruby to take out their legs, and in doing so they were able to kill the Barrons. After catching her breath Ruby began to manically ask shepherd where her sister was, and All he could say was "I'm sorry Ruby... Yang's gone..." Slight sadness filled his voice as she cried, knowing he was right. But they had to continue on to save anyone else they might find. Soon Shepherd saw Pyrrha run to the tower it seemed the demons and grimm were spewing out from. Quickening his pace he ran up to stop her only for Juane to get there first trying to stop her, she simply looked at him and kissed him, before shoving into a pod and sending it back to the bulkheads. Pyrrha then ran to the tower and into the elevator as Shepherd and Ruby fought off demons and grimm. In her mind Pyrrha was thinking that she was doing right, but she wasn't. When Pyrrha reached the top she saw Cinder, and knew what had to be done. Shepherd desperately held the grimm and demons off from Runy who'd been hit beyond what her aurora could handle. Soon after getting her to run into the building and hide, Shepherd launched himself to stop Cinder and Pyrrha and reached the top just in time to hear Pyrrha ask Cnder "Do you believe in destiny?" Screaming out a "NO!" Shepherd fired every last bullet he had in the assault rifle he had into Cinder, Killing her easily. Pyrrha just looked at him shocked that he'd done that. "We need to go, Now!" Shepherd screamed knowing that if the Demon Priests arrived, They would be doomed. After reaching the ground Shepherd turned around for Pyrrha to pick up his armor with her Semblance and send him flying across the City. The last thing he saw before he hit the ground was a Flash of red beside him...
