A timeline where events play out as close to the current one, yet key subtle differences alter and change the fates of those touched.

They hadn't received an update to their orders from Leonardo in weeks. Well understandable given he was dead. But that just meant someone either forgot them or they were the only ones left of the Huntsmen of Haven. Now while Poseidon was doing forced labor, having gotten off easy from a very sticky charge of murder, he was charged to work with Cordovin, who looks down on everyone. As a punishment to learn humility. Yeah if you're a celebrity you get away with more stuff than you should. That is why Mavron stuck around, despite having numerous calls from the Council to return to Mistral. Something about a new position./div

You attempted to kill his daughter just because…", Mavron wanted to lay into his teammate more when the loud ringing of an alarm pierced the sky. Shapes in the sky. A wave was hitting from deeper waters. Instantly their 'banter' stopped as they both stepped into their professional boots. Taking his Bident, Psychopagída, Pluto raises his hand and sends a plume of fire into the sky, catching the first wave of Grimm and burning them to ashes. Poseidon extends his metal trident, Antivrevma, points it to the sky and shoots a Water Dust canister from the middle prong. As the rain hits the second wave of Grimm, he crushes his hand and destroys them all in a single motion. But there was more coming./div

Hatred and anger soured through his soul as he stepped into the shadow of his friend. For anyone watching him, they'd see him vanish where he stood. For Pluto, he walked into the shadow and stepped into a time space portal. For him he stepped in that shadow only for him to turn around and drive his Bident through the skull of a Manticore attempting to kill a child in the park. Underworld Step, a teleporter Semblance. Poseidon groaned as he had to walk but something caught his ear. Turning back to the sea, the massive Leviathan appearing and roaring as it approached the coastline, was alive. Aegea could see Grimm shapes between the waves. Despite being so far out from solid ground he knew what sort of beasts that were. After all, it's how he first unlocked his semblance. Siren Grimm. Long armed, half humanoid shapes with the lower body of tentacle tails that ended in flipper fins. They were the most dangerous thing at sea, as they scaled the sides of boats and abducted passengers in the dead of night, dragging them to a watery grave. He extends his hand, grasping a few via the Water control of his Semblance, Oceanmaster, and crushes their skulls in anger. Noticing this the Leviathan stomps, sending a tidal wave towards the city of Argus. Poseidon's eyes widen in shock as he reaches for his scroll and enables the Hardlight Dust Sea Barrier. Stopping the water and dissipating it, he sighs in relief./div

How it was possible that Gray still stood tall was a miracle in hell. Adam's arm was tired and sore, his fingers numb from the pain. Wilt had managed to stay full and sharp, despite him fighting a Faunus. He just couldn't push the blade into Lieutenant's flesh or he'd lose it. And without Sensei, he'd have a hard time reforging the blade. As he fell to his knees, he could see the flashes from before. Luckily taking the strength attacks from that berserker beast meant he could see almost as good as before. The red world he'd be drowned in, now even showed the flecks of snow flocking down. Over the course of his travel towards Argus, following in Blake's shadow, Adam had learned to hone and live with it. When there was no power in his tank, he could only see the Aura of people with intervals. Each time he charged Moonslice with his Aura, he could send out a pulse that illuminated those around him. Yet else the world was just crimson. Streets, doors, buildings. He could see it all but it was a very monotone world. And forget about seeing lights or colours. Yet if he takes damage, instead of using it like energy, in hyper focused attacks or generating full body clones, he can also use it to fuel the pulse or wave making him see. As if the energy gets shot out through his dead eyes, refracts on objects and sends it back as a viewable image he can understand and interpret. But that was not important to the fight. As he sucked in air to get back to his feet he stepped between the now seriously injured Blake and Yang./div

Parts of her belly and arms were cut, shallow with a few lines of blood, she was exhausted but standing, Shroud still functioning while Gambol was sliced in half, broken. The black steel blade stuck in a tree that hadn't been decimated yet. She had maintained her distance from that dangerous thing that had tried to kill her, thanks to Shadows, yet it was taking her toll. Exhausted and unable to move she scrambled away as the chain whizzed past her and bore deep into a cliffside before pulling a chunk loose, almost colliding against her before a red blade sliced it in two and kicked it to crash into Gray. A split second Yang, who had attempted to kick the boulder aside, glared at Adam who sliced it. Were the two of them working together?/div

Her prosthetic arm was chipped, the paint was scuffed, her leather coast was reduced to mere flaps clinging to her skin, desperately holding on while cuts and lacerations were on her face and neck. A few plucks of hair had also been sliced off, making Yang very angry. Yet she wasn't mindless. She knew getting closer to Gray was dangerous. She had energy left, but no way to get close for a final blow. Not that that would work. Gray had been standing still. His heels were sliced, yet the skin was so strong his tendons weren't severed. His arms were bare and covered in rivers of blood. Bullet holes sprinkled over his ruined White Fang outfit. His Grimm Mask was gone revealing a furious face that pulsed with veins and split eyes that glared at every motion made by even leaves on the tree. As Adam took another knee, Yang falling to her butt and heaving heavily, Blake hiding, there was a breakthrough. Exhausted yet filled with rage, Gray stopped moving. With them still, he could barely see them./div

Wilt caught the biting teeth and sparked yet didn't break. Adam was holding on to his beliefs and vows. Yet that also meant it opened the biggest issue here. He forged Wilt with Aura Forging. Infusing his own crimson soul into the steel, which gives it the colour. Yet the drawback was if he faltered or broke his vow, his sword would betray him. Break and shatter unable to be repaired ever after. And his vow was simple: no Faunus blood. It's why he was so busy trying and failing to destroy the chain whip! If his sword tasted Gray's skin, he'd lose the one tool that couldn't be broken by that dastardly dangerous weapon. Despite that Adam was the best candidate to overpower Gray./div

A part of his arm tore open, blood spilling over as his muscle layer popped open. That's the other way to beat him, Blake had figured that one out. At some point his body will give out. Even with the muscle control and the 'too angry to die' mentality, at one point he'd burn up. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, or something like that./div

His sword whining and sparkling from the continuous bite. Forcing his hand to keep the sword pinned, Aura being shredded as it sprang up against his arm, Gray Diamondback rushed forwards, when a blur of purple and yellow drove their blades into his skull.

A moment earlier an explosion had caused the Hardlight sea barrier to short circuit, endless waves of Sirens now flushed upon the beach where he stood guard. Mavron helping him, but they were losing ground. Aid from the Base had arrived but it wasn't helping. Cordovin's mech was being swarmed by a second Leviathan that had appeared, attacking and catching Cordovin off guard. Ruby was running through the streets, her braced foot giving her enough support to pull off the high speed movements she needed, getting civilians into a safety corridor. Jaune, Ren and Nora were protecting that corridor while Maria tried to calm the people in there. Jaune spied a random Grimm chase off into the park, where he had met Pyrrha before and a dangerously sharp feeling of panic set into his mind. Breaking rank he chased after it. Inside the park he found Pyrrha in her wheelchair, Helen trying to get her to safety. Standing tall behind was a Manticore, hunting! No, Not again! Jaune boosts his footfalls with Aura, rushing forwards as he throws his sword: "PYRRHA"/div

She uses her semblance and spears the Manticore in the face. Heaving as he gets there, shield ready they smile at one another, Helen happy they will make it now. As the war in the air is getting more and more problematic, Weiss finally gives up trying to reach Winter as she sees the mass of sea creatures move into the Argus Base. She looks at Qrow, as they maneuver to get the supporting staff safe. Cutting down Siren after Siren. Qrow has to transform into a bird in order to make fast enough actions to save what he can. Base defenses are insufficient as the Grimm are too many. Weiss tries to contact her friends, but the numbers are too intense. As she gets most of the people out and into the assembly square, she and Qrow see how the sea is writhing with more and more of these creatures. She nods at Qrow, who causes Harbinger to reap more and more Grimm as she summons her Queen Lancer for more airborne mobility. As the last of the base's defenses are being overrun, bolts of fire rain down on top of the Grimm as Blake and Yang reingage, closely followed by Adam. The girls sync up and begin forming protection cores for those in need, while Adam and Qrow take to killing as many as possible. A curious glare from Qrow being met by a 'later' from Adam. As tired as they were, hope pushed them onwards./div

Even a normal human could see that Poseidon was poisoning himself. With a crack in his arm he reached a watery hand, forcing a swarm larger than ever before all the way to the Leviathan and crushed it's leg. With that Cordovin could finish off one of the Leviathans as more Grimm scattered around the air. But Poseidon wasn't paying attention. In a flash there was a few of their tails that wrapped his leg and toppled him into the water. He was being swarmed. Now that his Soul was enhanced, he was an even bigger meal for them. One of the Grimm bit into Aegea's shoulders, another ripped his achilles heel clean off, before it died in a spark of fire. Using his dual pike mode, Mavron skewered heads where he stood, even shooting up a plume of fire as a distress beacon. Please someone make it. As he reaches for Poseidon and pulls him up, he can see a horrid expression and drops him in the water. Upon hitting the water, the soulless and lifeless body, his heart and mind poisoned into catatonia, Poseidon was claimed by the sea. Left to drift and sink as even the Sirens didn't want to eat him anymore. Mavron stepped back, worried as he was alone, surrounded by a wave of monsters around him, until a loud stomp woke him from his despair. The Leviathan had reached the shoreline, too much damage taken by Cordovin's mech. "Styx… I'm coming home"/div

The Grimm are swarming because of that big thing", Ruby says as she points at the final Leviathan, slowly the numbers of the smaller Grimm are thinning, yet from the sea more and more Sirens are being created. Somehow they're being born from the gargantuan behemoth. Ruby didn't see what else they could do. Sure with most of the civilians safe, the base slowly getting safer and less dangerous, all that remains is the beach line. She appears in time to see a badly wounded man fighting for his life and pulls him into her Semblance as she brings him further inland. As the dyke overlooks the swarming mass, Leviathan glaring down at all of them and roaring, Ruby focuses on her eyes. Maria said life was precious and should be protected. She closes her eyes. Pluto asking if she's crazy as he uses the last of his Fire Dust to create a wall of defensive fire, while Ruby focuses on the good parts of life. She saw Beacon, Velvet and Coco being friends. Yatsuhashi meditating. Fox cracking jokes. Her friends and JNPR throwing a food fight. Zwei coming to their dorm room. Cracking a smile Ruby's eyes begin sparking. Yet she sees other things. Her friends fighting, the Apathy nearly killing Weiss. Qrow passed out drunk. Summer's grave. No!/div

No flash like at Beacon. No disintegrating Sirens like the Apathy had been.

Mavron stood to his feet and gave a powerful roar, pink grenade pellets are pelted over the leg. Ruby saw it crush her and Mavron. She didn't know what to do. Instinctively she yelled the only name that could save her. "JINN!"/div

Laughing at Beacon Cliff after the Mount Glenn incident, sharing cookies and cream with dad and Qrow on Maidmass. Jaune dancing in a dress with Pyrrha leading the Vytal Festival. Weiss and Blake giggling over tea and coffee. Her friends were holding the bracelets she had bought all the way in Haven Market. Summer reading her a bedtime story.

They hadn't received an update to their orders from Leonardo in weeks. Well understandable given he was dead. But that just meant someone either forgot them or they were the only ones left of the Huntsmen of Haven. Now while Poseidon was doing forced labor, having gotten off easy from a very sticky charge of murder, he was charged to work with Cordovin, who looks down on everyone. As a punishment to learn humility. Yeah if you're a celebrity you get away with more stuff than you should. That is why Mavron stuck around, despite having numerous calls from the Council to return to Mistral. Something about a new position./div

A wave was hitting from deeper waters. Instantly their 'banter' stopped as they both stepped into their professional boots. Taking his Bident, Psychopagída, Pluto raises his hand and sends a plume of fire into the sky, catching the first wave of Grimm and burning them to ashes. Poseidon extends his metal trident, Antivrevma, points it to the sky and shoots a Water Dust canister from the middle prong.

Hatred and anger soured through his soul as he stepped into the shadow of his friend. For anyone watching him, they'd see him vanish where he stood. For Pluto, he walked into the shadow and stepped into a time space portal. For him he stepped in that shadow only for him to turn around and drive his Bident through the skull of a Manticore attempting to kill a child in the park. Underworld Step, a teleporter Semblance. Poseidon groaned as he had to walk but something caught his ear. Turning back to the sea, the massive Leviathan appearing and roaring as it approached the coastline, was alive. Aegea could see Grimm shapes between the waves. Despite being so far out from solid ground he knew what sort of beasts that were. After all, it's how he first unlocked his semblance. Siren Grimm. Long armed, half humanoid shapes with the lower body of tentacle tails that ended in flipper fins. They were the most dangerous thing at sea, as they scaled the sides of boats and abducted passengers in the dead of night, dragging them to a watery grave. He extends his hand, grasping a few via the Water control of his Semblance, Oceanmaster, and crushes their skulls in anger. Noticing this the Leviathan stomps, sending a tidal wave towards the city of Argus. Poseidon's eyes widen in shock as he reaches for his scroll and enables the Hardlight Dust Sea Barrier. Stopping the water and dissipating it, he sighs in relief./div

How it was possible that Gray still stood tall was a miracle in hell. Adam's arm was tired and sore, his fingers numb from the pain. Wilt had managed to stay full and sharp, despite him fighting a Faunus. He just couldn't push the blade into Lieutenant's flesh or he'd lose it. And without Sensei, he'd have a hard time reforging the blade. As he fell to his knees, he could see the flashes from before. Luckily taking the strength attacks from that berserker beast meant he could see almost as good as before. The red world he'd be drowned in, now even showed the flecks of snow flocking down. Over the course of his travel towards Argus, following in Blake's shadow, Adam had learned to hone and live with it. When there was no power in his tank, he could only see the Aura of people with intervals. Each time he charged Moonslice with his Aura, he could send out a pulse that illuminated those around him. Yet else the world was just crimson. Streets, doors, buildings. He could see it all but it was a very monotone world. And forget about seeing lights or colours. Yet if he takes damage, instead of using it like energy, in hyper focused attacks or generating full body clones, he can also use it to fuel the pulse or wave making him see. As if the energy gets shot out through his dead eyes, refracts on objects and sends it back as a viewable image he can understand and interpret. But that was not important to the fight. As he sucked in air to get back to his feet he stepped between the now seriously injured Blake and Yang./div

Parts of her belly and arms were cut, shallow with a few lines of blood, she was exhausted but standing, Shroud still functioning while Gambol was sliced in half, broken. The black steel blade stuck in a tree that hadn't been decimated yet. She had maintained her distance from that dangerous thing that had tried to kill her, thanks to Shadows, yet it was taking her toll. Exhausted and unable to move she scrambled away as the chain whizzed past her and bore deep into a cliffside before pulling a chunk loose, almost colliding against her before a red blade sliced it in two and kicked it to crash into Gray. A split second Yang, who had attempted to kick the boulder aside, glared at Adam who sliced it. Were the two of them working together?/div

Her prosthetic arm was chipped, the paint was scuffed, her leather coast was reduced to mere flaps clinging to her skin, desperately holding on while cuts and lacerations were on her face and neck. A few plucks of hair had also been sliced off, making Yang very angry. Yet she wasn't mindless. She knew getting closer to Gray was dangerous. She had energy left, but no way to get close for a final blow. Not that that would work. Gray had been standing still. His heels were sliced, yet the skin was so strong his tendons weren't severed. His arms were bare and covered in rivers of blood. Bullet holes sprinkled over his ruined White Fang outfit. His Grimm Mask was gone revealing a furious face that pulsed with veins and split eyes that glared at every motion made by even leaves on the tree. As Adam took another knee, Yang falling to her butt and heaving heavily, Blake hiding, there was a breakthrough. Exhausted yet filled with rage, Gray stopped moving. With them still, he could barely see them./div

Wilt caught the biting teeth and sparked yet didn't break. Adam was holding on to his beliefs and vows. Yet that also meant it opened the biggest issue here. He forged Wilt with Aura Forging. Infusing his own crimson soul into the steel, which gives it the colour. Yet the drawback was if he faltered or broke his vow, his sword would betray him. Break and shatter unable to be repaired ever after. And his vow was simple: no Faunus blood. It's why he was so busy trying and failing to destroy the chain whip! If his sword tasted Gray's skin, he'd lose the one tool that couldn't be broken by that dastardly dangerous weapon. Despite that Adam was the best candidate to overpower Gray./div

A part of his arm tore open, blood spilling over as his muscle layer popped open. That's the other way to beat him, Blake had figured that one out. At some point his body will give out. Even with the muscle control and the 'too angry to die' mentality, at one point he'd burn up. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, or something like that./div

I attacked Beacon to save as many Faunus, for Cinder's plan would cost more lives. I was seeing red, as I have since the Dust mines of Atlas.

I didn't mean it. But…if it would make you feel better, that one woman destroyed me at Beacon. But if it's not enough, here", Adam draws his sword and gives it to Yang, holding up his own arm. "If you want to take out your anger at me, which I understand, then cut my arm off. That way the sword also breaks, since I'm Faunus"/div

A moment earlier an explosion had caused the Hardlight sea barrier to short circuit, endless waves of Sirens now flushed upon the beach where he stood guard. Mavron helping him, but they were losing ground. Aid from the Base had arrived but it wasn't helping. Cordovin's mech was being swarmed by a second Leviathan that had appeared, attacking and catching Cordovin off guard. Ruby was running through the streets, her braced foot giving her enough support to pull off the high speed movements she needed, getting civilians into a safety corridor. Jaune, Ren and Nora were protecting that corridor while Maria tried to calm the people in there. Jaune spied a random Grimm chase off into the park, where he had met Pyrrha before and a dangerously sharp feeling of panic set into his mind. Breaking rank he chased after it. Inside the park he found Pyrrha in her wheelchair, Helen trying to get her to safety. Standing tall behind was a Manticore, hunting! No, Not again! Jaune boosts his footfalls with Aura, rushing forwards as he throws his sword: "PYRRHA"/div
div id="djs-ci6qf" class="daeditor-paragraph" style="margin: 24px 8px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.3px;"Pyrrha sees his sword fly and smiles. She uses her semblance and spears the Manticore in the face. Heaving as he gets there, shield ready they smile at one another, Helen happy they will make it now. As the war in the air is getting more and more problematic, Weiss finally gives up trying to reach Winter as she sees the mass of sea creatures move into the Argus Base. She looks at Qrow, as they maneuver to get the supporting staff safe. Cutting down Siren after Siren. Qrow has to transform into a bird in order to make fast enough actions to save what he can. Base defenses are insufficient as the Grimm are too many. Weiss tries to contact her friends, but the numbers are too intense. As she gets most of the people out and into the assembly square, she and Qrow see how the sea is writhing with more and more of these creatures. She nods at Qrow, who causes Harbinger to reap more and more Grimm as she summons her Queen Lancer for more airborne mobility. As the last of the base's defenses are being overrun, bolts of fire rain down on top of the Grimm as Blake and Yang reingage, closely followed by Adam. The girls sync up and begin forming protection cores for those in need, while Adam and Qrow take to killing as many as possible. A curious glare from Qrow being met by a 'later' from Adam. As tired as they were, hope pushed them onwards./div

Unable to stand it, Poseidon snaps. "I know Mavron! You are so much better than me. I've used soul enhancers, this was the last of what I had from Leonardo and there won't be new coming. But I need it! We NEED this! Look around you! Who is gonna save us? The Argus inhabitants? With the wall broken we're gonna have to do more"/div
div id="djs-eior" class="daeditor-paragraph" style="margin: 24px 8px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.3px;"Mavron rolled his eyes as Poseidon downed the last of the Ambrosia and shivered. Even a normal human could see that Poseidon was poisoning himself. With a crack in his arm he reached a watery hand, forcing a swarm larger than ever before all the way to the Leviathan and crushed it's leg. With that Cordovin could finish off one of the Leviathans as more Grimm scattered around the air. But Poseidon wasn't paying attention. In a flash there was a few of their tails that wrapped his leg and toppled him into the water. He was being swarmed. Now that his Soul was enhanced, he was an even bigger meal for them. One of the Grimm bit into Aegea's shoulders, another ripped his achilles heel clean off, before it died in a spark of fire. Using his dual pike mode, Mavron skewered heads where he stood, even shooting up a plume of fire as a distress beacon. Please someone make it. As he reaches for Poseidon and pulls him up, he can see a horrid expression and drops him in the water. Upon hitting the water, the soulless and lifeless body, his heart and mind poisoned into catatonia, Poseidon was claimed by the sea. Left to drift and sink as even the Sirens didn't want to eat him anymore. Mavron stepped back, worried as he was alone, surrounded by a wave of monsters around him, until a loud stomp woke him from his despair. The Leviathan had reached the shoreline, too much damage taken by Cordovin's mech. "Styx… I'm coming home"/div

The Grimm are swarming because of that big thing", Ruby says as she points at the final Leviathan, slowly the numbers of the smaller Grimm are thinning, yet from the sea more and more Sirens are being created. Somehow they're being born from the gargantuan behemoth. Ruby didn't see what else they could do. Sure with most of the civilians safe, the base slowly getting safer and less dangerous, all that remains is the beach line. She appears in time to see a badly wounded man fighting for his life and pulls him into her Semblance as she brings him further inland. As the dyke overlooks the swarming mass, Leviathan glaring down at all of them and roaring, Ruby focuses on her eyes. Maria said life was precious and should be protected. She closes her eyes. Pluto asking if she's crazy as he uses the last of his Fire Dust to create a wall of defensive fire, while Ruby focuses on the good parts of life. She saw Beacon, Velvet and Coco being friends. Yatsuhashi meditating. Fox cracking jokes. Her friends and JNPR throwing a food fight. Zwei coming to their dorm room. Cracking a smile Ruby's eyes begin sparking. Yet she sees other things. Her friends fighting, the Apathy nearly killing Weiss. Qrow passed out drunk. Summer's grave. No!/div

No flash like at Beacon. No disintegrating Sirens like the Apathy had been. Her name was being yelled as the Leviathan looked at her and opened it's maw, trying to bite her down as the Sirens swarmed at the fire. Mavron stood to his feet and gave a powerful roar, pink grenade pellets are pelted over the leg. Ruby saw it crush her and Mavron. She didn't know what to do. Instinctively she yelled the only name that could save her. "JINN!"/div

The Bident piercing skull after skull, frozen in place. The Leviathan's stomp halted to a stop, Grimm standing still. Even the explosions of Nora's grenade launcher were in super slow motion.

Even if it was incredibly creative", Jinn said with a warm smile and winking as Ruby tried again. Closing her eyes and picturing her friends. Laughing at Beacon Cliff after the Mount Glenn incident, sharing cookies and cream with dad and Qrow on Maidmass. Jaune dancing in a dress with Pyrrha leading the Vytal Festival. Weiss and Blake giggling over tea and coffee. Her friends were holding the bracelets she had bought all the way in Haven Market. Summer reading her a bedtime story. Ruby opened her eyes and a bright flash of Silver covered the entire shoreline./div

This plane wasn't crashing like that one. Qrow tried not to look Cordovin directly in the eye. "Regardless…I..will admit I might have reacted wrong.
