Yang walks through empty foggy streets in a city. The city was old and severely tattered. Destruction and death was everywhere, and Yang would also catch sight of many child corpses, which disgusted her. As she kept going, she would catch sight of a castle. She would begin to approach it. Once she reached the bridge to the castle, she would be stopped by a big figure, who had jumped into the sky and landed in front of Yang, making a small crater in the ground. He rose, and he looked intimidatingly tall and strong. Yang stepped back, as the figure cracked his fists. He wore what looked to be gauntlets that are electrified, and he glared at Yang. His clothing looked to be that of a great general…
She looks up to see him. "Wow… You're big." She said as she cracked her knuckles.
Budo looks down on the blonde Huntress. "Who are you? An enemy of the Empire? I will crush any insect who dares threaten my Emperor."
Yang stands casually, putting her hands on her hips. "Hm? Looks like someone is a bit out of the loop. Maybe a few hits on the head can help straighten you out."
"Kill her, General Budo." A fat man yelled down, stroking his beard, wearing a large crown, as a shadowy figure stood behind him, smiling.
"She threatens the peace we have brought upon our glorious empire. Make her an example to those who dare oppose us."
"As you wish, Emperor Honest." Budo said, getting into position.

Yang then punches her palm hard, ready to bring a beatdown. "Let's get this party started!" She readies her stance. They stare at each other for a moment, before Yang springs into action, punching and kicking, sending many shots at Budo, who held his Imperial Arms up to defend from the shots, Budo then stops Yang's punches and immediately tries to grab her. In a panic, Yang moves her body upward, and puts her knuckles on his large gauntlet, for balance, then shoots Ember Celica to bounce her off of his massive gauntlet, flips, then lands on her feet, then kicks Budo in the face, propelling her kick with a shot.
The kick made Budo stumble back a bit, before Budo reacted with a devastating lightning attack, which sent Yang sliding back a bit, and they both would begin to huff, as Budo said,
"I will admit, you are interestingly strong, and have much potential… It's a shame you must die." He says, as he then enveloped himself in lightning, then charged at Yang.
Yang bursts out in fire. "Who said I'm gonna die?!" She then dashed towards him before he could react, as she punched his gut, which got him to flinch a bit, and step back, but it didn't hurt him too much. He stands tall, then Yang cranks it up and starts punching him over and over again, until all the punches from that same spot begin to combine together and actually make him feel pain progressively. Before he could punch back, Yang slips in between his legs and starts shooting her shotgun shells on his back. Budo stumbled forwards, and fell to his knees with a grunt. He breathes heavily as he rises once more, then looks to Yang, and would yell out as he summons more lightning than ever, he'd then jump up, then smash the bridge near where Yang is, and Yang would begin to fall.
She would fall down hard. Then the rocks and debris fall all over her. Budo looks down emotionlessly. He would scoff, assuming he won. As he leaves though, something was burning on the debris. Then, like an explosive volcano, fire bursts out. And out comes a much stronger Yang. Her Semblance enhanced her strength due to the trauma she took. Her eyes burning bright red and her hair resembling fire.
Her gauntlets and boots radiated with her, and seemed to be on fire. She charges at him, and Budo puts up an arm to block the punch, and everything would be like in slow motion, as Yang, with her enhanced strength, cracks the great general's imperial arms, and he would be sent back, but Yang wouldn't relent, as she punched rapidly, as he blocked or dodged. He'd then spin wicked her aside, and she went tumbling. She didn't relent, as she would send shots at him, and Budo clenched his teeth, dodging while trying to get closer to end it. He'd punch downward, and Yang would flip out of the way, and she would be on the defensive. Budo would then clap his hands, sending Yang sliding backwards and guarding her face. She smiled,
"Wow… I've never met someone who was such a heavy hitter." She says, wiping under her nose and jumping in place, amping herself up as Burn continued its course.
"You impress me yourself, child. It's been a long time since someone gave me quite the fight… It's too bad you must die." Budo said, before they began clashing once more. They would each exchange blows, and Budo would knee Yang, and send her back. Yang would spit, as her rage would increase,
"Ok, now that was a dick move!" She exclaimed, and would grow faster, and hit even harder. With each punch she made, it started caving into Budo's body inch by inch, until she suddenly stopped, recoiling a fist as Budo staggered back after being hit in the face, before Yang punched through Budo's heart. Budo stared, shocked, surprised that a young scrawny looking girl could have this much strength… Yang would retract her fist, and Budo would fall to his knees, before falling to the side. Yang looked down at the general's lifeless body, heavily panting, but went to check his pulse to see if he was really dead, to which she found, he was. Putting a hole through a heart does that. It was then she heard hundreds of footsteps, and she saw soldiers coming down to kill her. She would freak out and run, and would run into town, and saw the portal that seemed to be the way back.
She dashed through, and almost landed on her face and managed to land on her hands and knees back in her world, "Phew… That was rough…"
Yang would then look up, seeing her friends… And one more she didn't expect to see ever again,
Ruby hugs her. "Yang! You're okay!"
"Heh…what did you expect?" Yang then looks to see Summer more clearly. "Ruby… Is that…?" She points at her mother.
Summer would walk up to Yang and hold onto her shoulders. "Hello Yang. You've grown…"
The blonde was shocked, as she tears up, "You're… 'Sniff' real… Aren't you…?" Summer nods with a soft smile, and Yang hugs her mother tight.
Irad smiles, looking at the scene. It touched his heart to see a family come back together… "I suppose we can thank Nightmaratack for one thing… He was able to lead us straight to you, Mrs. Rose." Irad states with a slight chuckle.
Summer nods to his words. "I am glad to have met my children again..."
Blake was also happy to see this, "I am wondering though… What happened to you? Why did you disappear?" Both Ruby and Yang would snap out of their emotional states once Blake said that.
"The last I saw you both, I was going out to end Salem after witnessing so much of the horrors she's committed… After I had read "The Girl Who Fell Through The World" to you girls, I went out… I had lied to Tai about doing a mission, and left to find Raven… After that… Well… I searched hard for a way to at least defeat Salem and perhaps imprison or seal her… But in time I was too close, and ended up in a fight with her, that ended with something dark washing over me, and I fell into a dreamlike state. For a long time I was that way… And everything felt… So horrible. I thought I'd never be freed… I don't know what happened to Raven, all I remember was telling her to leave as I confronted Salem. Things are a bit foggy though… Everything after I was taken by this "demon" you speak of seems to be faded, or unclear."
While Ruby and Yang looked at each other in worry, Blake would let out. "Nightmarack..."
"Nightmaratack? What sort of name is that?"
"It's… A legend from my realm… My people had called him that. I don't remember the legend fully… So I can't say." Olmotack would say.
Yang would wipe her face from her tears, "Lets just say he's a very big deal, who is as big, if not a bigger threat than Salem."
"We're almost done… We're just waiting for the last seal to be broken…" Irad started, before clutching his shirt, "But… I have a terrible feeling something may have happened…" He states, uncertain, but afraid for Weiss.
Ruby also shows the same worry, "Weiss..."
Suddenly, the portal Weiss took opens, and Irad hopefully looks… But after a minute or two of nothing, Irad felt his worries come to life.
"Where's Weiss? Yang asked,
"I don't know, she should be through by now." Ruby asked,
"Should we all just-"
Irad grit his teeth and said, "No… No, only one at a time. I'll go." Irad states, walking forwards.
Ruby tried to stop him, "Wait, Irad!"
"Let me do this, Ruby." Irad demands, and Ruby looks down in defeat and lets him go. Irad would go through the portal.
In the Schnee manor, we hear a voice coming from someone singing… The mansion seemed empty throughout, but black tendrils hugged the walls. In a certain room high up, the singing gets louder… And inside the room, the heiress sat, looking at her mirror… Weiss continued to sing, "Save me from the things I see. I can keep it from the world. Why won't you let me hide from me? Mirror, mirror... Tell me something. Who's the loneliest of all?" As it showed her reflection. Her eyes glowed a faded purple, and it is apparent to see this was a prison set for Weiss… And as she kept singing, Negative Weiss stood atop what seemed to be Irad's tower, looking at the large moon that looked over the castle… The same place Irad and Weiss shared their first moment.
"I'm the loneliest of… All…" Negative Weiss finished, looking down sadly, but would grow neutral once more at sensing the presence of Irad, as he stood a ways behind Weiss, and she would turn.
"Weiss… Weiss, what happened to you?" Irad asks, shocked, as Negative Weiss prepares to attack Irad.
