After thinking about it, I'm going to just name it a dragon for now instead of a wyvern, even though the model is a wyvern, I know.. Merely following the wiki, and it also plays into my story a bit better if I name it the Grimm Dragon for now.
As the Grimm Dragon flew past the hijacked Airship to the tower, Ruby and Penny were dealing with random Griffons that decided to attack them. They made quick work of them before noticing a short woman in Atlesian uniform. Suddenly, her clothes changed from the bottom up, light washing over her. Ruby could now easily see it was Neo. Neo took a photo of Ruby after winking before sending it to Roman, with a little text saying 'Guess Who?'.
Torchwick looked at the photo and groaned in misery, "Oh, you can not be serious!"
He picked up his cane and Scroll to walk to the top of the airship. He seriously had enough on his plate, and this girl kept showing up every single time! It was really getting annoying! He wouldn't mind her if she would learn to just mind her own business, and maybe even become acquaintances.
Outside Beacon's cafeteria, Blake slowly backed away from the shattered window as she stared in horror at her old partner and ex-boyfriend.
"Running away again?" sneered Adam, "Is that what you've become, my love? A coward?"
"Why are you doing this?" asked Blake in horror.
"You and I were going to change the world, remember?" replied Adam, "We were destined to light the fires of revolution!" He drew out his sword, ready to stab a nearby Atlas student who nearby in the chest, "Consider this… a spark."
Before he could do so, Blake charged at him, sword drawn, slashing at him. Her blade clashed into his as she pushed him away from the student. The student quickly got up and ran. The two of them stood still, their blades locked together.
"I'm... not...running," grunted Blake, trying to force her blade down.
"You... will," grinned Adam before he tried to kick her. His back suddenly seized up in pain, making his kick a bit weak. Blake dodged it before trying to slash him, but he dodged it before backhanding her away. A Grimm Creeper tried to attack Blake, but he shot it before it could reach her.
"But not before you suffer for your betrayal, my love," said Adam as he smiled and began walking towards her.
As they began fighting, Blake noticed that Adam's clothes seemed... dirty. He looked like he was slightly tired, but couldn't figure out why.
Back outside the Beacon courtyards, Velvet groaned as she tried to get up, only to be knocked back down by Coco after being punched from an Atlesian Paladin. The students were dealing with rogue Atlesian units, Grimm, and a few stray White Fang members. Luckily, no Grimm of the mutant variety had shown up yet. Reese and Neon were going around fights, providing backup to those in need as they were the most mobile. They froze a Paladin's legs, leaving it stationary for Weiss to charge forward. Suddenly, Weiss was hit by a punch from the Paladin, flying to the side. Yatsuhashi immediately stepped forward, using his sword to block the Paladin from doing any follow up attacks on Weiss, only to be sent flying back. The Paladin then stepped towards Ren, who was busy dealing with the Knights.
"Look out!" yelled Nora as she pushed Ren out of the way, taking the hit instead.
Ren looked in shock when he saw Nora flying away into the ground. She didn't seem to be getting up. Before Ren could do anything felt himself being pushed once again, this time by Octavia. The Paladin had used its previous momentum to swing another punch from its opposing fist. She took another hit for Ren, flying into a pole, her spine hitting the pole first. She crumpled up in pain, unable to get up. The pain was too much for her. It seemed like both Nora and Octavia had fainted.
'No.. NO! NOOOOOOO!' roared Ren in his mind. He wouldn't allow this. He had already failed so many times. First his family, then his friend and leader. He had let two of Jaune's mate to leave, and now his own mates were in danger. He would not stand for this. He will NOT stand for it!
"Ren!" shouted Nebula, seeing the Paladin winding up for another punch. The Paladin threw its punch at Ren. Ren merely glared at it in fury, raising his right hand as he put the right Stormflower into his sleeves, his hands already forming the dragon claw. He stopped the punch completely with his right hand, with his fingers starting to claw into the Paladin's fist, crushing it.
"What the?" gasped Flynt in surprise.
"Dude, that's wicked sick," complemented Brawnz.
Ren wasn't listening. His emotions were completely visible on his face. At the same time, the two Dragon's Marks on his hands were glowing in black and white. Dragons ran on emotions, and the stronger emotion, the stronger they get. And Ren wasn't playing around anymore.
With a roar, he pulled the Paladin forward before slicing off the offending hand with his left Stormflower. The blades on the weapon were glowing with Aura. Without missing a beat, Ren threw a fully loaded Aura punch into the Paladin's face-plate. Upon impact, he let the Aura explode, sending the Paladin flying away.
Ren was not the only one was using his Dragon's Mark to the fullest. Sun was busy dealing with another Paladin when he heard a scream of pain. He looked behind to see Gwen falling to the ground, taking a shot to the shoulder from the rogue Knight. Instantly, a Grimm Griffon landed in front of Dew. This Grimm was larger than the other Griffon. It was a Griffon Prime, the Alpha series of the Griffon. And it had its sights on Gwen.
"Get away from her!" roared Sun, charging forward. Neptune would've complained about being left alone to fight a Paladin when the two of them were having trouble, but seeing Sun's face in anger, he decided not to comment about it.
Time slowed down for Sun as he was running to help Gwen. She was helpless as the Griffon Prime opened its mouth, intent on swallowing her whole.
'No. NO! NO!' roared Sun mentally. His Dragon's Mark on his chest began to glow brown. His team noticed the mark on his chest, where it was usually hidden by his clothes.
Sun immediately summoned clones and had them charge forward. One clone transformed himself into a staff, while another threw the staff.
Gwen had her eyes closed at her impending death when she heard something. She opened her eyes to see a glowing staff stuck between the Griffon's beak, unable to close it. Another clone quickly carried her away from the danger, putting her next to Nebula. The clone inside the mouth transformed back to normal, letting the Griffon eat him before exploding inside its body. The Griffon was stunned, letting Sun kick the Griffon up into the air, where another clone was waiting with a staff. The clone smashed the Griffon back to the ground before spinning. Another clone jumped to the spinning clone, using its swing to shoot itself towards the Griffon before transforming into a ten-ton anvil, smashing itself onto the Griffon.
However, the Griffon shrugged off the damage before roaring, dispersing the clones away.
Sun fell to his knees for a bit, tired. However, he looked at Gwen, who was bleeding from her shoulder and felt his fatigue go away, to be replaced with anger. The Dragon's Mark began to shine even brighter. And deep within him, something broke open. An old legend, about a monkey who declared himself equal to the heavens. His power was indeed, comparable to the heavens above. But the legend faded as time passed, but the name was remembered. And Sun had been given the same name as the legend, as his mother wanted him to become someone like that. Sun had no idea he was actually a descendant from that legend. And with the Dragon's Mark, the legend came back to life.
With a roar, he stepped forward, and a pulse of light went off, with him being the source. The roar itself didn't sound human, but rather something….. primal and powerful. The earth began to shift and gather around Sun, glowing brightly. Soon, Sun was no longer wearing his usual open shirt and jeans, but rather a suit of armor. His head as now adorned with a crown with two long feathers coming off it. With a wave of his right arm, fire bellowed forth from his back before fading into a red cape. Overall, it gave him a regal look.
"That's... impressive," admitted Roy.
"OMG he looks soooo hot!" said Neon, "Think he's single?" she asked Flynt, who rolled his eyes.
Sun glared at the Griffon Prime, who started to step back in fear. Sun wouldn't let that go. He rushed into the Griffon, his whole body glowing like a meteor, crashing into the Griffon. He kicked the Griffon up and summoned 3 clones, who jumped to surround the Griffon. He split his staff into Nunchaku, his clones doing the same, and wailed on the Griffon. The last attack, they all slammed their Nunchaku down, crashing it into the rogue Knight that had shot Gwen. The Clones quickly formed a platform for Sun to step on, and he pushed off them, quickly forming his weapon back into a staff.
"HIIIYAAAA!" yelled Sun as he slammed his staff right in front of the two enemies, shooting out a beam of energy that cut right through both of them.
With the enemy finished, he walked up to where Gwen was, who was being bandaged by Nebula. She blushed as she saw a serious Sun, ready to protect her. Sun twirled his staff before breaking it back into its mobile form and put it away. Sun smiled, glad to see Gwen was alright before collapsing right in front of her. The armor disappeared, as did all the cape and hat, leaving him back to his normal clothes. Gwen quickly ran to Sun, feeling his pulse, and sighed as it was beating strongly. Sun was just exhausted from that. She gently put Sun's head onto her lap, becoming his pillow.
"My brave hero," whispered Gwen. Meanwhile, Neon Kat was looking at Gwen in jealousy.
Coco whistled at what Sun had done. She looked back to a Paladin to see Ren was handling it by himself, massacring the war machine. He was punching, kicking, slicing, and ripping parts of the Paladin. It looked like it was on its last legs, but so did Ren. Ren gave one last roar before kicking the Paladin away. The Paladin twitched and then remained silent. Ren then broke its knees for good measure before slowly walked back to Nora and Octavia, stumbling almost every step. These first years were seriously showing them up. It was quite a blow to her pride as the upperclassman. So she decided it was time to take out the big guns.
"Well, I guess now's a better time than any. Velvet!" she ordered.
Velvet looked excited when she heard it "Really?"
Coco nodded, "Just make them count."
Velvet nodded as she walked up to the remaining Paladin. SSN, noticing Velvet walking confidently in front of them all, scooted back, interested to see what she was going to do.
Weiss had just gotten up, witnessing Sun and Ren's fight. She looked at Velvet in worry before asking, "What are you doing!? She's going to get hurt!"
"Just watch," grinned Coco.
Velvet held out her right hand, and the box behind her opened slightly, drawing a hard light copy of Crescent Rose. Velvet had spent a whole year just making this weapon. She had designed it in her first year at Beacon. She started to create it during the second semester. She didn't finish it until a year later. It was the perfect weapon, complimenting her Semblance, Mimicry. Being able to mimic the moves of anyone she saw as long as she was using the same weapon. However, she couldn't just carry 50 weapons with her. So she crafted this with the help of Glynda, Peach, and Oobleck, who also used their contacts to Atlas to help out.
Now, she could carry as many weapons as she could, given that she took photos of the said weapon. The camera would memorize the details of the weapon, and the box inside would bring it to life.
Weiss watched in amazement as Velvet was swapping through weapons with ease, showing that she had no trouble with any of them at all, whether it would be a rapier, gauntlets, staff, or even a Gatling gun. What surprised her was when Velvet copied Penny's weapon and ended the fight with a full Aura blast, just like Penny did back at the docks at the end of the first semester, obliterating the last Paladin. After that, she fell down tired. Yatsuhashi quickly caught her. The downside to the weapon was it consumed her Aura much faster than normal, as she was supplying Aura to form her weapons.
The remaining students still standing looked around, seeing that most of the enemies were gone. Sun had gotten back up after enjoying the lap pillow given by Gwen, but they were still in danger. Nora and Octavia had woken up to see a crying Ren. They hugged him, comforting him. Both were amazed to see Ren had dismantled a Paladin by himself, and for good measure, broken its legs, earning a kiss from Nora.
"So, what was all that about?" asked Sage to Sun.
"I dunno," shrugged Sun, "Something happened to me while I was pissed off."
"What's that mark on your chest?" asked Scarlet. The others who heard it also turned to Sun, curious about the mark. They had also seen it on Ren's hands.
"I'll tell you guys more in private," sighed Sun, "It's not my secret.. well it kinda is, but I can't say it now. Plus, we're not exactly safe here."
Just as he said that the earth shook, and another Paladin appeared, without a single scratch mark and fully powered and functional
"You have got to be kidding me!" gaped Sun.
Back on the rooftops of Vale, Mercury had been observing the students with interest. He had left the recording job to Emerald, scouting some other situations when he saw the fight. He was quite amazed by Ren and Sun, and vowed to put their names on his personal hit list.
Back on the airship, Neo was fighting Ruby and Penny and was starting to sweat. So far, all her battles had basically ended in ties or losses. And she really wasn't like that trend. If it was just Ruby, she doubted she would have any problems with her. Even if it was Penny at 100% alone, she felt she could handle it. But with the two of them working together, and Penny neutralizing her illusions, she was being hard pressed. Ruby twirled her weapon, forcing Neo back before grabbing it and fired a shot at her. Neo quickly made another illusion, and it shattered, revealing Torchwick, who fired at Ruby. Penny blocked the attack with her swords.
"Little Red, little Red, you are just determined to be the hero of Vale, aren't cha?" commented Torchwick sarcastically.
"Please, desist what you are doing," said Penny, "This ship is needed to help the people."
"Oh, and look! You brought the toy soldier with you! But whatever, that's why I'm here anyways." said Torchwick, although inside, he frowned. He had seen the firepower off this girl and did not want to fight her. Not to mention, she seemed to be unaffected by the virus.
"But why!? What do you get out of it!?" asked Ruby.
"You're asking the wrong questions, Red! It's not what I have to gain, it's that I can't afford to lose!" replied Torchwick.
Ruby charged at him, just to see Neo vault over Roman to with a powerful kick. Ruby managed to block it but stumbled backward. Neo ran towards her while Roman began shooting at Penny to distract her. Ruby tried to slash at Neo, only for her to block it with a swift kick before flipping and hooking Crescent Rose with her umbrella. She pulled it down, sliding under Ruby, causing Ruby to lose her balance at the sudden shift of weight. She then pulled, flipping Ruby while disarming her. As Ruby was spinning midair, Neo was about to finish it with a roundhouse kick to the abdomen when she had to use her illusions to dodge a shot from Penny. Penny was using three swords to fend off Roman defensively but had time to shoot an Aura blast at Neo. Ruby ended up landing on her face, but she quickly got back up and grabbed her beloved scythe.
Just as Penny fired, though, Torchwick managed to get through her defense and land a hit on Penny's face, followed by a shot, sending Penny flying back. Ruby quickly dashed to her side, intercepting her from falling off. They stared off each other in a stalemate.
"I may be a gambling man, but even I know that there are some bets you just don't take. Like it or not, the people that hired me are going to change the world! You can't stop 'em, I can't stop 'em!" began Torchwick.
Ruby and Penny began to fire, but Neo easily blocked them all.
"You know the old saying, 'If you can't beat 'em-;" rambled Torchwick when he noticed heard something falling. He looked up to see a transport airship above them, and Junior descending down with his bat.
"Oh CRAP!" shouted Torchwick, shoving Neo out of the way and dodging Junior's strike. Neo got back up and was ready to attack Junior when the Malachite twins showed up, slashing and kicking at her.
"Junior! Melanie! Miltia!" shouted Ruby excitedly.
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting," nodded Junior, "Most of my men are helping the citizens."
"Junior, my old friend," began Torchwick, "Cmon, let's not do this, for old time's sake? I can get you on the winning team."
"Sorry, but I'm already on that side. If you want to join, though..." began Junior, to which Torchwick laughed.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree."
"That's fair enough," grunted Junior, shifting his bat to a bazooka.
Roman laughed nervously when he noticed he was surrounded by Junior's men, all pointing their guns at him.
"Neo, if you could?" asked Roman.
Neo nodded and was about to flourish her parasol when Penny's sword came flying at her, forcing her to dodge. Ruby took this chance, using her Semblance and charged at Neo, drop kicking her in the stomach. Spit flying out of her mouth, Neo flew back just to be intercepted by Miltia and Melanie. They attacked her, causing Neo to lose consciousness. She slumped down onto the floor, defeated.
"NEO!" shouted Torchwick in worry.
As Miltia and Melanie tied Neo up, Junior grunted, "It's over, Roman. Just come with us, and stop this madness."
Torchwick sighed, knowing he had been defeated. He dropped his cane, allowing Junior's men to handcuff him. One of them bumped into him, almost making Torchwick lose his hat. Before he could snap at the man, Junior beat him to it.
"Watch the hat. He likes it a lot."
Torchwick grinned at that just for a second. As Junior's transport airship began to descend, Ruby gave one last message to Torchwick.
"I don't care what you say! We will stop them! BET ON THAT!" shouted Ruby.
"Well, good luck with that," grunted Torchwick, "You wanna be a hero!? Then you'll have to play the part and die like every other Huntsman in history."
Junior smacked his head for that comment as Ruby began to remember her own mother.
"Cmon, let's get out of here," sighed Junior, "Melanie, Miltia, go with Ruby and Penny to see if you can stop whatever is going on."
"Uncle, can you later head down to Beacon? We wanna see if Ren is alright," asked the twins.
Junior nodded, and as Neo and Torchwick were escorted onto the transport ship, the Grimm Griffons decided to attack.
Junior shifted his bazooka and pointed it at the majority of Grimm, annihilating quite a bit of them. Junior's men were back in the ship, shooting as many as possible. Ruby, Penny, Melanie, and Miltia were doing their best to deal with the Grimm while trying to head to the door that led to inside the ship. However, when Ruby had jumped above one of them Grimm and kicked it towards the airship, it crashed and caused an explosion. A chain reaction occurred, causing many other explosions before starting to fail and fall towards the ground.
"Uncle! Just go, we'll be alright!" shouted Militia.
Junior nodded and signaled his pilot to launch. The four of them jumped off the airship, freefalling for a bit. Ruby rolled and used her weapon like a Pogo-stick, shooting bullets to halt her descent. Penny shifted her swords into wings, flying downwards slowly. Melanie and Miltia had parachutes ready and opened them, floating down. They all landed safely onto the rooftops of Vale.
Back in the city, Glynda was using her riding crop and Semblance to destroy a few Creepers, while Qrow was slicing through some rogue Knights. Taiyang was bashing a few Beowolves on their head, and team CRDL was backing them up. Cardin giddily knocked an Ursa's head off with his mace, but found himself staring at the muzzle of a few rogue Knights. The rest of his team quickly destroyed a few of the knights, but they found themselves all staring at guns pointed at them. Suddenly, the Knight's heads were shot off. As the smoke cleared, Ironwood was walking out of the smoke, showing his resilience as he had survived the crash. His uniform was damaged, showing to the world that the right half of his body from the neck below was cybernetic. Without hesitation, he shot the rogue Knights, putting in some explosive Dust rounds in his revolver to take out groups. The last one he flipped his revolver around, using it as a blunt weapon and smashed the last one.
"This area's secure! We need to-" began Ironwood as soon as he saw Qrow, Glynda, and Taiyang.
Suddenly, Qrow's expression changed to what seemed to be anger, transforming his sword into a scythe and charging towards Ironwood.
"Qrow! This isn't my doing!" shouted Ironwood, trying to explain.
Qrow looked like he was completely ignoring him, charging forward still. Ironwood flipped his gun in his hand, ready to defend himself from what seemed to be an attack. However, Qrow leaped past Ironwood, confusing him until he turned to see a large Griffon lunging at him. His eyes opened as he understood that Qrow was saving him as Qrow sliced the Griffon into two.
Upon landing, he turned around and scoffed, " You idiot. I know you didn't do this."
"You should know him better than that," remarked Taiyang, "The two of you have been butting heads forever, but he'd never blame you for something like this."
Ironwood could only sigh, lowering his head and putting his hand on his forehead. It had been a very stressful day for him. Glynda placed her hand on his shoulder in sympathy.
"So what now, General?" asked Qrow.
Ironwood began to snap back to attention, acting like a General again, "Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines. And that enormous Grimm seems to be fixated on the school. Glynda, form up the local Huntsmen and establish a safe zone here in Vale. We need to evacuate Beacon. Qrow, Taiyang, I'm leaving that to you and my men. I still need to get to my ship. Team CRDL, accompany them."
Then, all of them heard a loud noise and turned to see Ironwood's rogue airship nose diving into the ground and crashing.
"Well, it won't be much of a walk," remarked Qrow.
The rogue Knights all around them powered down as the command center for them all was destroyed.
Ironwood could only sigh as all the Knights were down. At least this was better, as now the rogue Knights couldn't hurt anyone, along with the rogue Paladins. Still, he would've preferred if he could take back his ship, so the robots could actually do their jobs.
"Guess I'll be with you guys to establish a safe zone."
Back at the Beacon courtyard, the students were ready to fight the charging rogue Paladin when it suddenly powered down, sliding to a stop in front of them. They all lowered down their weapons upon seeing that.
"Hm. That went better than expected," commented Sun. He found his left arm being glomped and looked over to see Neon holding onto it.
"Mmm, but I'm sure you could've handled it," whispered Neon.
Before he could say anything, Gwen had taken his right arm, glomping herself onto it while staring at Neon with a glare. The two girls were at a stare off, and sparks could easily be seen crashing.
Yang and Zwei suddenly appeared before them, running over to Weiss, "Weiss! You're okay! Have you heard from Ruby?"
Weiss shook her head at that, and Yang asked about Blake.
"She went after an Alpha... and some members of the White Fang," replied Weiss, pointing her in the direction.
Yang nodded, "You look for Ruby. I'll meet up with Blake. I'll leave Zwei with you."
Yang hurried off in the direction Weiss had pointed, while Weiss gave her a thumbs up. She was still tired from all that fighting. Ren tried to move, but he was still exhausted from the fight. He could only groan and hope nothing would happen to Yang.
At the Beacon vault, Pyrrha and Ozpin were quickly running towards the machine. Pyrrha quickly got into the pod, ready for the transfer. She wanted, no needed, the extra boost if she wanted to find Jaune, or at the very least, get revenge for him. She shuddered to think that. She could feel it. Somehow, Jaune was still alive somewhere. And she wouldn't give up hope.
Ozpin quickly typed into the machine's hologram. As he started up the program, he looked over to Pyrrha. He never wanted this. He had hoped to never bring the fight to his students, but it seemed as though fate would not be so kind.
Back in the cafeteria, Adam was yelling at Blake, " This could've been our day! Can't you see that!?"
"I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted peace!" screamed Blake back as she slashed at Adam. She jumped back to dodge his attack, folding her blade into the sickle mode and shot two bullets at Adam. He blocked both shots with his sword, getting empowered from the kinetic energy.
"What you want is impossible!" shouted Adam as he sheathed his sword and backhanded Blake. She dodged it and tackled Adam. Adam fell back with an oof, feeling his back burn. The injuries on his back were still there from dealing with that accursed Redhead. She was next on his hitlist. Adam grabbed Blake by her head and smashed her head into the ground. Blake could see stars as Adam flipped her over on her back.
"But I understand because all I want is you, Blake," growled Adam as he kicked Gambol Shroud from Blake's hand.
"And as I set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind so greatly deserves, I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love," laughed Adam, pointing and gesturing at Blake. "I've already taken a certain someone you care for from this world…" He told her, making her eyes widen in horror.
Soon, Yang's voice calling for Blake was heard by both of them. They looked both looked at the broken windows to see Yang appear, looking around before punching a White Fang away.
"Blake! Where are you!?" shouted Yang.
Adam looked at Blake to see her terrified expression before returning his gaze back to Yang.
"And she'll be the second sacrifice," grinned Adam.
Ozpin was rapidly typing in the controls when he looked at Pyrrha and asked: "Are you ready?"
Pyrrha gave him a nod, but Ozpin shook his head. "I... I need to hear you say it."
Pyrrha understood and told him, "Yes," before laying her head back, ready for the transfer.
"Thank you, Miss Nikos," said Ozpin before raising Amber's pod up. Amber began glowing orange, her eyelids fluttering as the Aura transfer began. The orange glow traveled along the pipes connecting the two pods, and soon, and orange glow surrounded Pyrrha, who began to scream in agony and pain.
It felt as though thousands of needles were stabbing her nerves, but she held on.
'For you, Jaune,' whispered Pyrrha mentally as she pressed on.
"I'm... so sorry," sighed Ozpin, to both Pyrrha and Amber.
Suddenly, an arrow pierced through the glass of Amber's pod, striking her in the chest. Ozpin turned around, his eyes open in shock as he saw Cinder standing halfway down the corridor with her obsidian bow in her hand. A smirk crept across her face. She had managed to sneak in while all the students were busy trying to deal with the enemies.
"Second?" gasped Blake. Adam ignored her and stabbed his blade into left hip, causing her to shriek in pain. Yang turned around to see Adam and her blade in Blake's hips before pulling it out and facing Yang.
"Get away from her!" shouted Yang.
"No... please.." whispered Blake helplessly.
"Come, human. You'll be nothing but another to fall to my blade in my quest for justice." sneered Adam, "You're the second one I'll be taking out today. The first one was Jaune Ryu-Long. Made him fall off the Colosseum with his Aura shattered."
At this, both Yang and Blake's eyes opened wide at this. Their boyfriend was dead!? And by the hand of Adam, no less!
Yang screamed in rage, her eyes turning red and a burst of flame erupting from her as Adam sheathed his sword. Yang completely forgot about controlling her anger as soon as she heard Blake was in danger and that Jaune was possibly being dead. She leaped towards Adam, her right fist drawn back to land the biggest punch she had ever done. Adam sneered and drew his blade, swinging it through the air at Yang, with his Semblance fully active. He had gained enough energy from Blake's shots, as well as a few others from soldiers trying to shoot him. His blade sliced right through Yang's protective aura and arm. Yang flew through the air, her right arm detached from her whole body from the elbow down. The pain was too much for her that she lost consciousness as she landed on the ground, crumpled. Blake could only helplessly watch her partner's arm slowly separate from the attack.
Amber was struggling to breathe, the machine's alarm going off. Suddenly, Amber's eyes glazed over, all breath leaving her. Her head tilted to the side, her body going limp. The green flames that lit the vault suddenly all snuffed out. Pyrrha frantically beat against the glass of her pod, but the orange glow left Pyrrha and traveled back to Amber. The orange Aura left Amber, shattering the glass, and entered Cinder. She began to float, gaining long trails of flames around her eyes as the orange energy swirled around her. Pyrrha used her Semblance to blast the pod's door off the hinges, throwing it at Cinder, who blocked it as though it was nothing.
Pyrrha quickly summoned her weapons back to her, ready to fight Cinder when Ozpin stopped her.
"Find Glynda! Ironwood! Qrow! Bring them here right away! The tower cannot fall!" ordered Ozpin.
"But I can help," protested Pyrrha.
Ozpin slowly turned his head to look Pyrrha in the eyes, "You'll only get in the way."
Feeling helpless, Pyrrha nodded and quickly ran around Cinder. Cinder ignored her, focusing all her attention on Ozpin.
Adam was walking slowly towards Yang's unconscious body, swinging his sword to the side to get rid of the dirty human blade off his beautiful blade. Before he could reach her, Blake suddenly threw herself between them, giving him a rather determined and hate-filled stare.
Adam frowned at this and asked, " Why must you hurt me, Blake?"
"I hate you!" shouted Blake, "I thought you could change, but who am I kidding? No wonder I fell for Jaune so easily, he's more of a man than you'll ever be!"
Adam flinched at that, his rage skyrocketing, "At least I'm alive, and he is dead! But that does confirm the information from my spies about your new boyfriend."
"You didn't even have the courage to fight him head on! And he's gone much farther than I'd ever let you!" sneered Blake.
At this, Adam saw red. He had always wanted to go further with Blake than mere kissing, but she would never allow it. To hear that somebody else, a human no less, had gone to where he hadn't before. He swung his sword at Blake's neck, separating her head from her body. However, both her body and head vanished after a few seconds. Adam turned around to see the real Blake dragging Yang away to safety, tears in her eyes. He began to walk after her, slicing a Grimm Creeper without even looking at it.
His lieutenant, Edward Talutah, quickly ran up to him.
"Sir, most of the civilians have gone to what they deem a secure location to be escorted to a safe zone in Vale. There are quite a few Huntsmen and Huntresses at the evacuation area. If they reach the safe zone, we lose them. What should we do?"
Adam pondered about it for a little. That would be where Blake would be running off to. The White Fang alone couldn't handle professional Huntsmen and Huntresses. But if what the information was true, both the elder Schnee and the middle child Schnee were there. It was worth taking the chance to kill them, and further drive a wound into Blake.
"Get the Alpha variety Grimms, and try to herd them there. Once there, give them the mutation vials. And see if you can't get a Deathstalker and Goliath there, and give those the special mutation vials. And get me a healing salve, I'm going to need it. That damn red-headed bitch did a number when she force crashed my ship," ordered Adam.
Ed nodded before barking orders into his communications device while handing one of the special healing salves to Adam. This salve was created by Salem's own doctor, Arthur Watts. As he sat down to put the salve on his back, he heard footsteps, along with a cackling laughter.
"Tyrian Callows," sighed Adam, knowing the scorpion Faunus had been sent for as backup.
"At your service," giggled Tyrian, "You're going after the girl, aren't you?"
"Of course, once I get this wound close," grunted Adam, feeling the salve working its magic. Soon, he felt good as new again.
"Oooh, I'm coming, too. I want someone good to fight, but since you said you killed devil boy, I'll have to find someone else to keep me busy. Perhaps Glynda Goodwitch, or Ironwood. Both are quite tasty targets," snickered Tyrian, his tail twitching in excitement. "Too bad, I was looking forward to fighting that kid."
"Do what you will," replied Adam as he started walking towards the 'safety' area. It wouldn't be safe for much longer.
"This whole time... right beneath our feet," growled Cinder. She had been looking everywhere for this, and couldn't imagine that this place even existed. It was almost like hiding in plain sight. Yet, Ozpin didn't seem to have the proper defenses to make sure nobody made it here. "She was right about you. Such arrogance" taunted Cinder.
Ozpin merely tossed his cane up before grabbing it like a sword, ready to fight. He would make sure that his students get to safety, and win. Even if he didn't he would do his dam best to make sure Cinder was weakened enough to not harm his students.
Thanks for reading! Review if you can! So Sun has awoken his own legend, and Ren soloed a Paladin. Woot! I did hint on Sun and the monkey legend a few chapters back.
Junior to the rescue! Along with the Malachite twins and the... cannon fodders! Well, maybe a bit higher now since they all had to undergo training.
And yet, at the same time, as hope seems to grow, the plot seems to also darken. Yang still lost her arm, and now Tyrian's here to play! I did originally think whether or not I should have Yang keep it, but I decided that her personality would cause her to loose it still. She dives in without any thought still. This plays onto the future chapters, so yea. Yes, it will involve Raven, so just be patient.
And Jaune's still missing! What has happened to him, muhahaha. Next upload date... might be pretty fast. Could be tommorow, could be the day after.
