Yang flickered between consciousness and unconsciousness as Ruby rushed to her side along with her friends.

" Yang ! "

Yang could barely hear her sister and could only feel a cool, warm and refreshing feeling around her neck as subtle golden flames found their way to her line of sight. The bruises around her neck began to slowly fade as Raven walked past who sat down in front her, her blade resting in her lap.

" She'll be alright, those flames aren't going to hurt her."

Ruby, and the others looked at each with worried expressions at Raven who was wearing a new mask and instead turned their attention to Orion who's four tendril's sent a chilling sensation down their spines and into their very beings.

" Don't interfere, he doesn't need our help. Even if he did, he wouldn't accept it." Raven stated to everyone who nervously stepped behind her as Orion took a single step forward as Uriel's forces, a small strike team of about a dozen took a step back.

" Don't be cowards ! Kill him ! " Uriel commanded her soldiers who all charged at Orion who simply stood with his arms crossed. All 12 of Uriel's soldiers circled Orion as four broke off from the group and charged Orion directly from all four sides, but he didn't move at all.

The blades were all stopped by Orion's tendrils but a fourth attacker appeared in front of him as the blade pierced through his chest. " Your arrogance was your demise."

Orion walked forward as the blade passed through him as his blood dripped to the ground and the blade re-appeared at his back, having passed through him completely. Orion simply pushed with one hand, sending the attacker sailing back to Uriel who side-stepped the body as it passed over the cliff and off the edge.

" If you want to kill me, you'll have to do better than that." Orion suggested as he continued to walk towards Uriel as his tendrils dragged his earlier four attackers along with him against their wills. One tried to let go of her blade was one tendril pierced her through her throat and hoisted her up into the air.

" Ten to go." Orion counted as the body hit the ground lifelessly. He took notice of the blade still in his chest and sighed as he pulled it out and the wound closed easily thanks to his golden flames. " Damn, that really does hurt, I gotta stop that."

Orion tossed the blade aside as a black arrow passed through him, striking another mask wearing attacker as the would be wound simply closed in flames like the others.

Orion looked behind him and sighed as he tossed the body aside like the last one. He looked at Uriel and shook his head. " Betrayal, nine enemies remaining."

Uriel slowly lowered her bow in shock as her seven followers took another step back in fear. " How...? "

" Simple," Orion began as his last two tendrils pierced his last two attackers through bodies repeatedly as he tossed them at Uriel's feet, " Seven left by the way, it's simple because you can't win. Why are you even here ? "

" She came for you, and..a book ? " Blake questioned, trying to remember if that's what had actually been said. Orion waved her off and turned his attention to Uriel as his tendrils faded.

Within a second, one of the seven as already in front of Orion and stabbed at Orion who stopped the blade mid-thrust with one hand. " You can't kill a phoenix as long as it doesn't choose to die. You however, not so much."

Orion's easily crushed the sword's blade in his hand and faster than expected, drove a flaming blue fist through his attackers chest, who promptly slumped over and fell to the ground. " Six left, getting really desperate aren't we ? "

Orion his arm with hands open as he created small golden fireballs that spread out wide across the area in front him, resembling little golden firefly lights. Uriel and her remaining followers all fearfully as stepped back.

" He's on a completely different level..." Sun stated as a bead of sweat trailed down his cheek and he took a nervous breath. While Sun focused on Orion, the others were more worried about Yang, who wasn't responding to their attempts to get her to keep their eyes on them.

Orion held out the Book of Oblivion in his and pointed to it, " Get through those, and you can take the book back." he taunted them as he casually tossed the book in the air and caught it again. All of Uriel's followers darted towards him on Uriel's orders as they all stopped in tight cluster as the golden fire balls positioned themselves all around the ground, surrounding them. Orion sighed as he shook his head.

" And like that you're all dead. Solar Flare."

The golden fireballs rapidly began spinning in place, changing from to blue in the process before exploding at once in a wave of intense blue flames, that burned too hot for anyone caught in their blast to even scream. All that was left were mask in an otherwise desolate crater.

" Just you and me Uriel, so how do you want to die ? "

" I don't intend on dying here, not before I take your life." Uriel said as strung her bow and aimed at Orion crossed his arms and waited. Instead Uriel fired upwards and the arrow broke apart, creating a dark mist the blocked the sky in its entirety before they came together to form a large Nevermore, larger than any that anyone had seen. Uriel's quickly flew upwards and positioned herself on its head as she looked down.

" This is the Omega Nevermore, a creäture from the dark days of humanity ! Legends said that it's wings alone shrouded entire kingdoms in darkness with its wings alone, its feathers could cleave this mountain in half I desire. ! "

Orion's slowly sized the creäture as he realized that he was the size of its eye alone and bit his lip in understanding. " This could be a problem..." Orion mused himself as golden flames appeared along his arms before spreading out in a ring around him.

Everyone behind him was terrified at the sight of the creäture, but Orion merely sighed before he changed from human to phoenix and took to the skies in a shriek and so did the Nevermore.

Uriel's archery skills were second to none and she was able to strike Orion several times with well placed arrows but because of his golden flames, he simply reformed and continued to soar higher into the sky, Uriel and the Omega Nevermore on his tail.

" You can't escape ! " Uriel shouted as she rocketed off the Omega's head and passed Orion, who veered back and changed himself as his kick met with Uriel's.

" I never run from a fight ! " Orion yelled in anger as his feet went up in blue flames that seemed to have gotten hotter, as if taking energy from the sun itself as he let himself fall backwards and began backflip repeatedly, increasing his momentum as he fell towards the Nevermore.

" Flaming Meteor ! "

Even though he might have just been a pest to the Omega Nevermore, when Orion's kicked connected with the plating of its head, he succeeded in shattering part of the armor as he tumbled onto it's back with Uriel.

Uriel's bow changed to a sword and lunged at Orion who's tendrils began parrying Uriel's blade strike, all while the Omega Nevermore soared higher and higher at Uriel's command to the point they were above the clouds.

Neo casually walked through the server leaving both guards unconscious on the ground as she continued to her objective. She took a seat and hacked the server from her scroll and began to both delete key files all while replacing and updating some.

After five minutes she heard an alarm go off, signaling that she was out of time.

" Damn, just one more minute."

When she was done, she was gone without a trace as the guards she knocked unconscious woke up.

She re-appeared on the roof of a hotel as she sighed and sat on the edge of the building.

" Know that that's done, all that's left is to wait."

Orion's four tendril's meet at one point to block a block a blow a stab wound aimed at his heart by Uriel. She continued her assault as she tried to overwhelm him but he managed to keep his guard up but she faked a strike at his knee and instead slashed at a tendril itself, severing it.

Orion put distance as he swore silently before making eye-contact with Uriel' who flourished her blade and gripped it tightly. " You're going to regret that."

" Come and try it."

Orion's three remaining tendril's faded as usual as he changed from human to phoenix but he was different. Instead of brilliant golden flames, his phoenix form was that of dazzling blue Novafire as he flew off the Omega Nevermore's back into the sky but stopped as Uriel watched a large flaming ball of blue flames that rivaled the sun itself.

Uriel commanded the Omega Nevermore to fly away but it was too late as Orion had changed back and was now falling fast while bringing the massive blue fireball downwards.

" Birth of The Sun Goddess ! "

The Nevermore tried to fly back but took the brunt of the attack as they all fell back to the ground.

" Where did they go ? " Sun asked as tried to find Orion and Uriel, having lost them when they passed the cloud line. Everyone noticed a large black and blue outline was descending towards the ground the ground but the blue faded along with a black mist and that's when everyone realized that Orion and Uriel were falling fast.

Orion changed to a golden phoenix and narrowly avoided crashing into the ground, but the same couldn't be said for Uriel who shattered the ground beneath her. Orion changed back to human form as he descended the crater and found Uriel, somehow still but unable to move.

Sun and Jaune watched as Uriel was tossed out of the crater and back to the battlefield as Orion's three tendrils appeared once again and he panted slightly but pressed on. A black wing floated to the ground as black feather fell from the sky and that's when the others realized Orion had torn off one of Uriel's wings while in the sky.

Orion's tendrils picked Uriel up by her neck as the remaining two grabbed either of her arms and spread her out, as if she was hung on a cross. He reached past her and before gripping her last remaining wing and pulling with all his force, despite her pained blood-curling screams. When he finished, he slammed her into the ground as the tendril around her neck let her go and pierced through her stomach, earning another blood-chilling scream of pain as he stabbed her over and over and over to the point all that was heard was the constant agonizing screams of Uriel as everyone looked on in horror.

Ruby and Weiss looked as if they were about to gag, Blake was able to look on having seen things like this while growing up but was likewise disturbed, Jaune had officially stopped looking along with Pyrrha as they both used their shields to block the sight and the spraying blood but they could do little for the sounds and lastly Ren was covering Nora's eyes while she covered her eyes.

The screams stopped all to quickly as the tendril dripped blood and appeared to be completely red. Golden flames appeared across Uriel as they closed her wounds yet the blood remained.

" I've waited for this day for a while, and like I promised, your death with be slow."

Orion grabbed her left index and stared at her, " As a past-time when I was younger, I read a lot of medical books about the human body, mainly the skeletal system. I remember bits and pieces but what I mainly remember is that there are two-hundred and six bones in your body. Cinder had me memorize each piece and where it was located, when I needed to interrogate someone. I know exactly how to break each one, starting with the left-side."

As he said that a quick twist resulted in the first of two-hundred and six bones being broken. After several more minutes, he had broken the entire left side of her body, all one hundred and three bones before he grew tired and tossed her to the side.

" Bastard...this isn't the end."

Orion shook his head as he picked up Uriel's sword, a ran his finger along the length of the blade.

" So...this is what you used to kill Cinder. If this wasn't it, I'd keep if this as a trophy I hate just holding it."

Orion looked at Uriel his tendril's slammed her into the ground and placed his foot on her chest, earning a pained yell from her.

" I'm impressed you're even alive at this point, the pain from everything should have killed you. Oh well." Orion said before pierced Uriel through her chest with her own blade as she spat out more blood. Orion's last tendril pierced her through the stomach, earning another scream before he crushed her throat and pierced her through her heart, killing her.

Orion stepped off her body and crouched next to her and closed her eyelids, " It's funny, I don't hate you as much as I thought I would. If there is a hell or heaven, I'm sure we'll meet again."

With those words Orion turned his attention to Yang, as his tendrils faded. The other nervously and reluctantly out of his way as he fell to both of his knee weakly and coughed blood into his hands.

" Are you...ok ? " Ruby asked nervously but Orion simply ignored as he placed a hand on neck and manipulated the golden flames there. Yang's eyes weakly opened when Orion had finished and Ruby was already hugging her sister tightly.

A single tear dropped from Orion's cheek, as he coughed more blood into his hands before he fell back but with a smile on his face.

It's ok Cinder, you gave rest in peace...Thank you...for everything and I'm sorry...
