Yang gently drove the bike through the streets of the city,"Man, can't believe we're already here!" She looked behind her at Weiss,"I'm kind of nervous, I mean, what's Ruby gonna say to me?" She looked back at the road,"What are any of them going to say to me?"

"I'm nervous too." Weiss sighed,"I'm thinking about Jaune, and the other members of JNPR. they must be so broken now."

"So, you getting cold feet?" Yang snickered.

"Ha, ha." Weiss muttered,"What do you think they're called? JNRR or RNJR?"

"Well, JNRR does sound sort of decent, but I'm leading towards RNJR, because that means Ruby gets top billing." Yang smirked.

"Yeah, RNJR is also a color, so it makes sense." Weiss said with a nod. They began to near the academy,"There!" Weiss grinned.

Yang smiled, but she stopped the bike when she heard noises from the inside,"Is there a fight going on!?"

"Someone's attacking them!" Weiss realized. She looked at the door,"They may be expecting us through the door."

Yang looked up at the window,"Weissy?" Yang grinned,"Can you make an ice ramp?"

Ruby felt her back hit the wall. A metal foot slammed into her throat. It wasn't looking good, the headmaster betrayed them, Cinder and her forces invaded, and worst of all, Yang's mom was here. Ruby felt the metal shoe choking her, and she desperately clawed at to try and break free..

"You've lost, Red." Mercury smirked, holding his leg in place,"Only something completely and totally unexpected can stop me from turning you into a corpse!"

That was when the entire room heard a loud crash. The group of fighters looked up, seeing a yellow bike with two helmeted riders driving through the air. The one in the white helmet leaped off and struck her sword at Emerald, who was keeping Jaune on the ground.

The main rider of the bike, wearing the yellow helmet, slammed the forward tire into Mercury's face, forcing him off of Ruby. The bike skidded to a halt, allowing the rider to get off and walk to Ruby.

Ruby looked up at her mysterious savior,"Y-"

The rider took off her helmet, and threw it at a stunned Cinder, bopping her on the head. Her long yellow hair flowed down her back, and her lilac eyes beamed down at Ruby,"Hey Rubes."

"Yang!" Ruby teared up, and then ran to her sister and gave her a big hug around the waist,. She looked up at her,"Wait, if you're here, then-"

"Ow!" Emerald rubbed her head where Weiss threw her helmet.

Weiss shook her dyed hair,"Hey Ruby." she brandished her sword at Emerald.

Emerald stared at her, and squeed,"Ice Queen! I'm like your biggest fan! Oh, my gosh!" her eyes opened in realization,"I just got bopped in the head by Ice Queen!"

"Uh, we're here too!" Jaune waved as he laid on the ground. Nora and Ren were fighting off a big burly guy with Oscar.

"Hi guys!" Yang and Weiss said immediately.

Weiss leaned down to Jaune,"Alright, "

Yang looked at Ruby,"Give me the short version of what's going on."

Ruby looked at Cinder,"They bad, we good. You know the Maiden story? Yeah, that's totally real, and Cinder is the Fall Maiden."

Jaune looked up at Raven and Vernal, who seemed to be contemplating something,"Pretty sure one of those two is the Spring Maiden, and they both want something called a relic that, if all four are taken by Big Bad, Salem, then all is lost."

"And only the Spring Maiden can get the relic, got it?" Ruby looked up at Yang.

Yang pointed to Oscar,"Okay, who's the new kid, your new boyfriend?" She giggled at Ruby's flustered expression.

"No!" Ruby shook her head,"He's Oscar, and also Ozpin."

Yang raised an eyebrow,"Come again?"

"Long story." Ruby scratched her head,"I'm still trying to wrap my head around it."

Yang nodded,"Right, so we came at the right time." She shot a quick glare at Raven,"I'll deal with Mommy Dearest later." She turned to watch Mercury getting back up, and wiping the tire marks from his face.

Mercury snarled as he walked towards Yang,"Hello, again."

Yang bumped her fists together,"Ready for round 2?"

"Hmph, you remember the last time we fought? It didn't end well, did it?" Mercury smirked.

"... I won that." Yang stopped and looked at him with confusion.

Mercury blinked,"Wait, you did?"

"Yeah, when we last fought, I won. The only reason I was disqualified was that your jerk friend used some sort of illusion thing to trick the judges." Yang crossed her arms," Otherwise, I won."

Mercury shook his head,"Well, I was holding back!" He took a step backward,"Y-you know, because of the plan!"

"Were you?" Yang asked, cocking her head,"I mean, if you were, then I'd be thinking differently, but you know, you didn't seem like you were holding back."

Mercury shook his fists,"You sassy little-" He leaped up and kicked at Yang.

Yang blocked the kick with her metal arm, before punching him with her other one,"Watch the language, there are kids present!"

Meanwhile, Weiss began to circle Emerald, their weapons drawn and pointed at each other. Their eyes locked, watching each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

Unfortunately, the first move was made by one Jaune Arc as he bonked Emerald on the head with his shield.

"Ow, again with the freaking head!" Emerald growled at the man behind her.

"Well, you were wide open!" Jaune said, shrugging.

Weiss growled,"Jaune, me and her were about to be locked in combat, and you ruined it!" she stomped her foot.

"Were you expecting me to just stand here!?" Jaune put his hands on his hips.

"Well, you know, I was expecting you to-well, not endanger yourself and let me handle this!" Weiss crossed her arms.

"Oh, I get it, I'm too weak to fight, is that it!?" Jaune frowned.

Emerald raised a finger as she looked between the two,"Um..."

"Shut it!" Weiss slammed her rapier into the ground, summoning a set of ice spikes at Emerald, causing her to leap back,"Anyway, I haven't been in this fight as long as you, so I'm less exhausted. How many wounds do you have on you!?"

"Not many, because the fight had barely begun!" Jaune argued.

Meanwhile, Mercury stood on his hands, and catapulted himself towards Yang, swinging his leg towards her. Yang responded by grabbing it and planting her legs on the ground. She used his momentum to send him flying to the wall. Ruby got up next to her and got her scythe ready.

"You're okay, right?" Yang looked behind her,"Nothing traumatizing happened while you were traveling?"

Ruby looked up at her with a big smile,"Nope! But, I'll tell you everything as soon as possible!" She looked at where Ren and Nora were battling Hazel,"They look like they're having a little trouble."

"Tell you what, we convince them to switch things up." Yang reached for Ruby,"You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Ruby let out a squee,"Fastball Special!" She hopped up into Yang's outstretched arm, allowing her older sister to toss her at a very surprised Hazel.

"Hah, see, the little sis likes it!" Yang shouted towards Weiss.

Weiss blocked Emerald's kama,"Of course she would!"

Ruby dodged Hazel as he attempted to grab at her before Yang raced towards him with a punch of her own.

Ren stood next to her,"We should warn you, he feels no pain."

Nora panted, holding her weapon,"Yeah, he, like, stuck dust shards into his arms and everything!"

Yang looked up at Hazel,"Dude, that's hardcore."

Hazel looked down at her,"Thanks," He said, before punching at her.

Yang grabbed the fist, before looking at his groin area,"Yeah, don't think that'll work this time..."

There was the sound of an explosion that interrupted them, flames erupted from the hall as Cinder got up. She cracked her neck, before looking in Weiss' direction, and summoned a long glass shard to throw at her.

Jaune pulled up his shield, blocking the attack,"Cinder..." He snarled.

"No." Weiss said, looking at the offending woman,"You can't beat her." She pointed her sword at her,"Let me-"

The sound of flapping was heard, before a red-cloaked man swung his sword in Cinder's direction, forcing the woman to leap out of the way.

"Oh, am I just going to be kept out of my fights here!?" Weiss snarled.

"Hey, Unc! Where were you!?" Yang shouted, dodging an attack from Hazel,"I didn't see ya anywhere!"

Qrow looked at his niece, and waved,"I was waiting for a perfect moment to strike!" He dodged a strike from Cinder's grimm arm.

Ruby whispered to Yang,"He was also knocked out."

Mercury got up, snarling at Yang as she went for Hazel. He ran at her, only for two gunshots to ring out, striking him in the shoulder.

Hearing this, the group looked up to see a figure leap out from the window. She had a pair of cat ears and wore a long white coat. Blake looked up from the ground and saw Bumblebee in the area. She looked at Yang, and then back at the window. She got up, and looked at Yang again, pointing towards the window,"You?"

Yang gave a slow nod.

Blake nodded back, before looking around at the carnage around her, before noticing something,"So, is the black haired woman on your side?"

Qrow held his sword against Cinder,"Not really."

"Because she's running." Blake pointed at Raven, who had gone to the elevator. Vernal leaped down in front of her and held two blades out towards them as she backed away.

Cinder gasped,"That bitch!" her hands burst into flames. She tried to run after them, before an attack by Qrow interrupted her.

Yang frowned, staring at Raven as she and Vernal began to descend the elevator,"Ruby, can you handle things here?"

Ruby dodged another attack by Hazel,"... I was okay without you before, right?"

Yang nodded, before running towards the elevator.

Raven pulled her arm back as the doors opened. Vernal stared at her as the matriarch stood there,"Aren't you going to grab the relic?"

Raven shook her head,"No, there is something I must do first."

"Raven!" A voice shouted.

A pair of boots began to crack along the stone floor as Yang began to walk towards them.

Vernal turned to the huntress,"You!" She pulled out her weapons, and pointed them at Yang.

"No, Vernal." Raven ordered, slowly turning her head towards Yang.

Yang stopped, glaring at her,"Is it really smart to let your lackey stay here?"

"How dare you-" Vernal was about to say.

"Can it!" Yang shouted, before looking at Raven,"So, how long were you hiding behind a fake?"

Raven turned towards her, cocking her head,"What do you mean?"

"I know you're the Spring Maiden." Yang frowned.

Raven took a step back,"What? How did you know!?"

Yang smirked,"You just told me."

Raven blinked, before shaking her head. She walked towards Yang, her arms outstretched,"You get that sass from your father." She stood in front of her daughter, and smiled,"So, now what? You've finally found me, are you gonna ask me all the questions you want?"

"..." Yang looked at Vernal, before looking at Raven,"Isn't it just like you to hide behind someone else?"

"How dare you!" Vernal shouted,"She's-"

"Vernal!" Raven cocked her head at Yang,"Explain."

"You've been pretty cowardly, I realized." Yang crossed her arms,"I mean, you're oh so powerful, you really didn't need to be worried that much about being used to get that relic. I mean, Dad always said you valued strength, and now you're one of the most powerful beings on the planet! Why bother using a decoy at all?" She narrowed her eyes,"But, I also realized something that Dad never told me: You're scared. You got the responsibility of being a maiden, and you decided to make a decoy just to run away from it."

"I was being smart, Yang." Raven frowned,"If Salem knew about me, I would be a target!"

"You were already a target!" Yang shouted,"Apparently Cinder knew to find you! But you couldn't handle that, so you made someone else a target. Someone who you see as expendable."

"She volunteered! Right?" Raven looked at Vernal.

Vernal's eyes slowly went to the ground,"I... yes, I did."

Yang then spoke to her,"Did you do it because you wanted to, or did you do it because she was your boss?"

Vernal turned away.

Raven snarled,"And I know all about responsibility, I lead a group of bandits!"

"That take what they want, and constantly run away." Yang said, before glaring at her,"Because they can't handle the grimm that attack the towns you pillage! You talk about strength, but you can't stand to stick around and fight those grimm! Tell me, why do you keep running from them if you are oh so strong?"

Raven frowned,"I value my men's lives."

"The hell you do! If you did, you wouldn't be after that relic, you wouldn't be here, talking to me!" Yang stomped her foot on the ground.

"The relic will be safe with me." Raven countered.

"Oh, really? Cinder found you, didn't she?" Yang snarled,"And if you grab that relic, Salem will just keep going after you, and you'll just keep running and running, never solving anything. It'll be a never ending cycle as you attempt to keep you and your bandits alive, but you'll never be happy, because you'll be constantly living in fear." Yang's sneer turned into a frown,"Like you always have. You always run, Raven, you run from Dad and me, from evil like Salem, and from responsibility."

Raven looked down at the ground,"Is this any way to talk to your mother?"

"My mother died a long time ago, Raven, and she was ten times the woman you are." Yang clenched her fist.

Raven stood there, silently, before waving her sword to create a portal,"... Come Vernal."

Vernal gave a slow nod,"Yes ma'am." She walked through.

Raven slowly turned to the portal, and sighed,"I'm sorry." She walked through it, disappearing.

Yang shook her head,"So am I." She looked at the relic in its chamber,"So... that's the relic, huh?" She walked through the doors, and through the desert like area,"It looks like a health potion from an RPG..." She mused.

Yang rose up in the elevator, the relic in her hand. When the elevator stopped, she began to look around the room. It was covered in scythe-marks, several of the enemies were strewn about the room. She noticed in the corner Ruby on her knees, several of her allies by her side. She noticed Weiss on Bumblebee frantically pointed at Yang, or rather, Yang's left side. Yang slowly turned to her head, hearing angered breathing sounds. She saw Cinder, staring at her with gritted teeth. Cinder didn't look so good, she had marks on her body, her clothes were slightly torn, enough to see dried blood.

Yang looked at Cinder, and then at the relic, before looking at Cinder. She pointed at the relic in her hand,"You want this?"

Cinder gave a slow, angry nod.

"..." Yang fired Ember Celica in Cinder's face, disorienting her,"Bye!" she ran off towards Bumblebee and got on in front of Weiss.

"Punch it!" Weiss shouted, quickly looking behind her as Cinder flew up into the air.

"No need to tell me twice!" Yang revved up her bike, before driving it out the doors, passed what she presumed to be Blake's folks.

Blake watched as Cinder flew after Yang. She looked to her left at Ruby,"Ruby, wake up, your team needs you." She frowned. Ruby was still not responding to anything their friends were saying.

Qrow put a hand on her shoulder,"It looks like we're going to have to do this ourselves." He looked at Jaune, who was shaking Ruby's shoulders,"Keep an eye out for these guys, me, Blake, and Oz here are going after Cinder!"

Jaune gave a quick nod, before saying,"Ruby, come on! Weiss already forgave you, just wake up already!" He shouted as he shook Ruby.

Ren put a hand on his shoulder, and shook his head.

Blake ran out, Qrow and Ozpin following close behind her. She looked at Kali and Ghira who were standing next to a door with worried looks on their faces.,"Mom, Dad, I'm borrowing an airship, where did you see Yang run off to?"

Ghira pointed forward,"They went that away, but they were going fast, it'll be hard to catch them!"

Blake nodded,"They'll have to stop sometime!" She ran off into an airship.

"Be careful sweetie!" Kali called out to her.

Ghira looked at Qrow,"'sup Qrow."

"Hey, Ghira. Don't mind Oscar here, he just wants to help." Qrow watched as Ozpin ran behind Blake.

"Well, in this world, you just gotta get used to kids going into battle, as much as you don't want them too..." Ghira gave out a heavy sigh.

Qrow jumped into the airship as it began to take off.

"You know my dad?" Blake asked.

"Long story involving me, Tai, and Yang's puberty." Qrow said.

"This was a terrible idea!" Weiss shouted, her sword at her side.

"Hey, you thought of it too!" Yang dodged an incoming fire ball.

"Yes, and I still think it's a terrible idea!" Weiss held on tightly as they made a sharp turn through the busy streets. Bumblebee began rattling against the stairs as they drove downward.

"So, what happened back there, that place was a wreck!" Yang shouted, dodging some glass shards, and ducking under a small bridge.

Weiss bit her lip, as if she was hiding something. She looked down at a torn part of her dress,"Ruby happened."

Yang weaved through a fruit cart,"Yeesh, and I thought my tantrums were bad."

Weiss let out a little chuckle at this, before swinging her sword and stabbing Cinder's grimm arm, causing the witch to cry out in pain.

"That thing can stretch!? Dude, that would be so awesome if it weren't trying to kill us!" Yang turned and fired a shot at Cinder, forcing their pursuer to dodge,"You know, we're actually a lot alike, Cindy, we both have artificial limbs, and we've both been traumatized by events at Beacon! The difference, though, is that I'm not insane!" She looked at a ramp, and drove her bike towards it. She pulled back, letting the bike jump off of it.

Cinder stopped her pursuit, and looked to a random guy polishing his bike. She walked up to him, and grabbed him by the neck,"I have need of your transportation!"

The guy gasped in pain,"Sure." He gave her the keys.

"Thank you." She responded by breaking his neck and dropping him to the side, hearing the screams of the civilians around her.. She got on the bike, and revved it up, before speeding off.

Yang drove along the streets, weaving through the pedestrians,"Sorry, on a mission here!" Then she began to hear a familiar noise.

"Oh, she can ride a motorcycle." Weiss said with a deadpan expression.

Yang looked through her sideview mirror, and saw that, indeed, Cinder was driving a red and gold motorcycle,"Oh." Yang said with a frown.

Cinder drove the motorcycle through a cabbage stand, ignoring the vendor's shout of,"My cabbages!" and drove it next to Bumblebee.

Yang raised her leg and attempted to kick at Cinder, but no avail as Cinder weaved through her. Cinder snarled,"Give me the relic!"

"No!" The two shouted at the same time, before Weiss kicked at her.

"Then die!" Cinder threw out her arm to summon glass shards at the two.

Yang winced as several of them hit. She looked ahead at a small park with a fountain in the center," Weiss, we need to end this now!"

Weiss looked at the gas tank, and switched Myrtenaster to red dust. She slammed the sword into the tank.

Cinder looked at the attack as the two entered the park,"... I hate you."

Yang smirked as the bike behind them exploded. She skidded Bumblebee to the other end of the park, and looked back at the burning wreckage,"That should've done it."

Cinder then walked out of the flames, her right eye burning with rage.

"Never mind, she's apparently made of titanium." Yang sat at her bike. She and Weiss stared at Cinder.

"Our chances of winning are at least 10%." Weiss said with a frown.

"That's pretty pessimistic." Yang said, scowling as she put the relic in a compartment in Bumblebee.

"Actually, it's pretty optimistic considering that if she were at full strength, our chances would've been 1%."

"Right." Yang sighed,"She's a super-powered sorceress who's supremely ticked at us. Our best option was running, but that's out of the question now."

"Fighting her is suicide, by all intents and purposes." Weiss got off the bike with Yang,"Back-up would be needed to even stand a chance."

"Our back-up probably doesn't know where we are." Yang shook her head. She dusted off her shoe.

"... Yang?" Weiss looked at her,"If we die, it's been a pleasure." she smiled at her.

Yang smiled back,"I can say the same for you." She turned to Cinder. Weiss pulled her sword up to her shoulder, and pointed it at the maiden. Yang punched her fists together, and cracked her neck.

Cinder snarled, walking towards them with the flames flaring up behind her.

Yang and Weiss walked towards her, before running at her with a scream.

Cinder produced a black sword of glass, and blocked Weiss' blade. She struck out with her grimm arm and punched Yang in the face, causing the huntress to step back. Cinder blocked another sword swipe from Weiss, and then thrusted forward into her shoulder.

Weiss screamed in pain, causing Yang to throw a punch at Cinder.

Cinder grunted as the punch got her in the gut, before sending a wave of flame at Yang's face.

Weiss snarled, swiping her sword at Cinder's gut where Yang hit. The older woman stepped back to dodge, however, only for Cinder to feel a jacket her face. Weiss grinned, and looked at the jacketless Yang, and gave a thumbs up before running in and giving a horizontal cut, a diagonal cut, and finally and vertical slice, before Cinder's grimm hand grabbed Weiss' rapier and tossed her to the side. Cinder pulled off Yang's jacket, glaring at the blonde,"What is it with your family and being a thorn in my side!?"

Yang smirked, standing in a boxer's stance," Aw, are we sore because my mother tried to screw you over, and little sis gave you a boo-boo?" She then frowned,"I guess it's my turn to give you what for!"

Cinder held her hand up, causing it to burst into flames, only for Weiss' jacket to cover her face.

Yang ran up to her and delivered three jabs to her chest. Cinder responded by stopping one Yang's punches and then tossing her to the ground. She took off the jacket and snarled at Weiss,"You... if it's not her, it's her friends!" She threw a wave of fire at the two, causing them to step back.

Yang panted as the flames began to burn the grass around them. She smirked,"What, is fire all you can do?"

Then Cinder charged her hand with electricity,"No, I just prefer fire." She threw her hand out, shocking the two of them,"I can do other elements just fine!" She listened to them scream in pain, before stopping,"I could kill you now, but that would be too quick. Not after what you all did to me!" She produced several glass shards, and threw them. Two of them struck Weiss' legs, making her scream in pain. Another two struck Yang's shoulders,"I'm going to torture you, make you feel my pain!" She produced a glass sword and struck it to Weiss' cheek,"And then I'll cut your heads off and show them to your little friends! And I will laugh as they cry your names in vain!" She then felt two gunshots on her back. She stopped, turning upwards at the source, seeing Blake with one arm holding onto a rope on an airship, Gambol Shroud drawn.

"Sorry for being late." Blake said, narrowing her eyes at Cinder.

Cinder's remaining eye twitched, before screaming out in rage. She flew up in the sky to confront the faunus.

Yang slowly got up, feeling the pain of her wounds on her,"Yang?" She heard Weiss call out. She looked at her friend,"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Weiss said with a smile.

Yang nodded,"Fastball Special!" She grabbed Weiss by the belt and tossed her at Cinder.

Weiss held her sword out in front, switching to yellow dust and causing several yellow glyphs to appear in front of her. Weiss felt herself going faster and faster.

Cinder flew up to Blake, and charged a ball of flame,"Die!" She shouted, before feeling a blade stick through her. The flame died out, causing both Weiss and Cinder to fall to the ground.

Qrow smiled down at them,"Come on, let's get down there!"

Then he was stopped by Ozpin's cane,"No, it's not over yet!"

Yang smiled as she walked over to Weiss,"It looks like the Rose-Xiao Longs have won again!" she then stopped as Cinder began to move. She got up and pushed the blade back out with a snarl,"Aw, come on, are you just made of iron!?"

Cinder glared at Yang, before looking at the hole in her chest,"Die." She said, walking slowly towards her, hate burning in her eyes,"Die." She threw out her grimm arm and grasped Yang's neck, choking her,"Die!"

Yang struggled against the grip, kicking outwards towards her. And then the grip lessoned.

Cinder gasped in pain as a blade went through her heart. She turned and saw Weiss glaring up at her, her scar had reopened, causing blood to pool over one eye,"Now, I hit the mark." She pulled the sword out, before falling to the ground.

Cinder knelt to the ground, feeling the fresh hole in her chest. She looked up at Yang, fear in her eyes.

Yang glared at her,"... Pyrrha, Penny, Ruby, Jaune. All these people you've hurt through your plans. You truly are a monster, Cinder." Her eyes glowed red, her hair glowing bright,"You're not getting away this time!" She clenched her flesh fist, and pulled it back,"Now you fall!" She punched Cinder in the cheek, her semblance going at full force.

Cinder felt her neck move to one side with a resounding crack. She fell to the ground, her neck broken.

Yang stood there, panting. She looked up at Qrow as the airship began its descent. She gave a thumbs up, before falling to the ground next to Weiss.

A/N: Yay, final battle chapter!

Admittedly, this was pretty short. I really only intended this to be 4-5 chapters long, with the chapters corresponding to acts in an action movie(I even included an action movie one-liner!) Stay tuned for the epilogue and alternate endings.

Fun fact: Before I uploaded this, I noticed I accidentally said Cinder's left eye instead of her right. Dodged a bullet on that one.

I also had trouble trying to find a way to keep the relic in a safe spot, so I just made up a small compartment in Bumblebee. Did it work? Probably not.
