Cinder and Kim clash, as they exchange blows. Cinder was using her claws, while Kim was using a staff. January was far from the battle, playing long range.

Kim was dropped down, after Cinder slashed forward. She stumbled down, and kneeled up. Cinder grabbed her neck and hissed, "I'm going to wait until they arrive, so I can show them not to mess with me."

January fired at her, and Cinder glared, "I suggest you back off."

Kim kicked out of her grasp, and she fled to the other side. She grabbed her staff, and she and January surrounded her. Cinder hissed, "You mean jerks. I'm gonna erase you, before you try."

Kim stated, "Try me, bitch!" Kim attacked, but Cinder punched her down. She shot fire at January, knocking her down. Kim was hurt, lightly burned. She groaned, "Dammit… She's… too strong."

Cinder held up her fire sword and prepared to kill her. "You just don't quit… do you? You're a weakling… and you always will be. I will give The Gang my condolences… for your early grave."

She lunged down hard at Kim's chest. Jace swiped in and saved her from certain death. Cinder gasped, "WHAT?

Jace hissed, "Jace Be saving the day, you fiery whore."

The Gang arrived, as Mundy helped up January, "You okay, love?"

"Badly burnt… but I can live. Kim tried to stop her, but no luck." January held herself.

The Gang surrounded Cinder. Asahi called, "Cinder Fall! You're under arrest!"

All of World Agency surrounded her, and Cinder laughed, "Really… The last time you beat me was… well, let's say, the last time we met, you almost had me. Where's A-Fist?"

Farra stated, "He's coming. So, we're making sure you won't burn this city down."

Asahi said to Mizuki, "Make sure Neo's safe. You, Jace, & Kim head there."

Kim groaned, as she sobbed, "I'm sorry, Asahi…"

Asahi smiled, as she nodded to her and Jace, "You did alright. I'm proud of you. We'll take it from here."

Mizuki called, "Come on! Let's hurry!" She, Jace, & Kim raced off, as Cinder grinned, "Good. You die first."

POW!
"ORA!" Peter slammed a fist to her side. Cinder stepped back, and the rest of World Agency prepared. Miki called, "We'll take the rear. You make sure that Cinder doesn't hurt anyone else."

January agreed, "They're vicious…"

Mundy aimed, "Alright. Now, before we fight you… One Final Time! Did you or did you NOT kill Roman Torchwick?"

Cinder stared in a blunt and unamused stare, "Must you ask me that again? Alright, fine… I did not kill Roman. That's on himself."

Farra nodded, "I believe her. She attacked Emerald and Mercury, days ago. And beat the shit out of me, too."

Cassandra glared, "You monster."

Mundy asked, "So… If you didn't kill Roman…"

Cinder hissed, "Then why don't you ask Red? Besides, I have no time for you." She flew off, but Peter yanked her down on her ankle, and slammed her down on the streets. "No… You have time for us. We're making sure you don't run away, this time."

Asahi said, "Gang, let's fight! Cinder has to be stopped! GANG! LET'S GO!"

They charged at Cinder, and she roared, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" She unleashed a huge pulse of flames, pushing them all back. "FINE! You got answers from me, so… Since you won't leave me alone, I get to kill every one of you! And after that, I'll kill Neo!"

Cinder began to fight The Gang and World Agency, as they used their attacks to fight off the Autumn Maiden.

Episode 5 – Chapter 2: Road to LA (Part 2)
The True Confessions…

Mizuki and Jace returned to the safe spot, placing Kim in a small cot. Kim groaned, "I almost had her… Cinder… She almost fell to me."

Jace huffed, "I don't think so. Cinder whooped your ass."

Kim cringed, "Waah!" Neo petted her, and she nodded. She gave a thumbs up, telling her she tried.

Mizuki said, "Kim… Meet Neo. She used to be with Cinder." Kim asked, "Hm? Neo? Is she on our side?" Mizuki stated, "It's a long story. But the rest of World Agency will handle things."

Kim groaned, "I still wanna fight. I owe myself–. Ouch!" Riho held her down, "NO, it's alright. Cinder Fall's a threat. Very disastrous." Kim pouted, "But… I want–."

Jace said, "No… She's right. We cannot risk every member, including you."

Riho said, "Neo and I will tend to Kim." January moaned, "Then, how about another patient, Robo-Nurse?" Mizuki replied, "You fought Cinder, too, huh?"

"I was Cheonsa's ride to LA." January explained.

Mizuki said, "Riho, Neo, stay and watch these guys. I'm joining in. Jason, stay here." Jace asked, "Wait. Don't I fight Cinder too?" Mizuki said to him, "You and Kim are still new. You're a strong fighter, but we cannot risk everyone. Don't forget, Steven Cooke's not here… and he wouldn't care. He's still pissed off, because of Mundy."

Neo was sad, as she pointed at herself, saying it's her fault, too. Mizuki shook her head and said, "No… It's not your fault. If Mundy told us about you, sooner, we'd help you. But you're a threat to Cinder, so you can't fight either."

Riho responded, "I'm still fragile… so, I will sit out this one. I hope you beat Cinder Fall."

Mizuki smiled, "Thanks. You guys stay here. We'll come back, when it's over." She dashed off, joining the battle.

Kim groaned, "See what I mean, Jason?" She pleaded, "Asahi treated me like a weakling… and he did it to you!"

Jace called out at her, "IDIOT! You fought Cinder Fall alone, without preparation!"

"No… I did have prep time. I was training with Satsuki Kiryuin." Kim stated.

They gasped, as Riho gasped, "WHAT? THE ESCAPED CONVICT?"

Neo was confused, as Jace stated, "So that's why you were a no-show, lately."

"I want to be stronger! But her words to me, back then… It tore inside me. Maybe more." Kim explained, "But I can prove myself. I am able to handle Cinder."

"But you'll get yourself killed! You almost died!" Jace barked.

January said, "It's alright. Kim has a secret, much like Mundy. We can accept it… as long as Satsuki is still behind bars. Right?"

Kim stated, "No… If Cinder Fall is defeated, Satsuki will surrender. But there was no way to foresee that. But she did make a promise she can keep. Just don't tell the others… until the time's right."

Jace nodded, "Promise." he held her hands and said, "But… once we heal you, we're going out there and kick some ass. Because no one hurts my baby girl and gets away with it, when she tries to be stronger than before." They hugged, as Riho said, "But how? I don't know how long it may take."

January said, "We lie and wait… Besides, I owe Mundy everything, not after what he has done. Even so, I have a feeling Mother is right about one thing. Steven Cooke's coming."

XXXXX

Cinder fought off the World Agency members, one by one, and she was able to hold her own. Farra tackled her down, and started to punch down, but Cinder shoved her off. She landed a swift kick to her chest, and Mundy slammed his rifle onto her head. She was badly hurt, but still furious. She hovered around, and Mundy fired his pistol at her, only to avoid the gunshots.

"Blasted cunt's fast!" He roared.

Peter roared, charging towards Cinder, "RAAAAAAAAAGH!" He slammed a double fist, but Cinder sidestepped his massive blow. Cinder grinned, with her only eye flaming, "Big Man… You can't see to get the joke."
POW!
"NO ONE can defeat me!" She swatted down Peter with one strike.

Mizuki returned, as she asked, "What happened?" Asahi remarked, "She's strong. Hold your ground!"

Cassandra and Farra got up. They started to go fiery, with Cassandra changing into a white-haired figure with red, purple, and blue armor. "ANDROID FOOL!" Farra boosted her fiery aura and called, "SUNNY PHOENIX!"

Cinder gasped, "What th–?"

Cassandra hissed, "Fight fire with fire, bitch!" She and Farra dashed at Cinder, and then exchanged punches and kicks. Cinder was outnumbered, 2-to-1, holding her own. But Cinder pushed both women away with a flaming pulse. She boomed, "ENOUGH!"

She landed a swift strike to Farra's chest, shouting, "You should've stayed grounded!" She slammed her down to the street. Cassandra flew towards Cinder, and using her extended black arm, she grasped her by the neck, slamming her to a wall, nearby.

"My firepower is potent. You may have pyrotechnics, but I am but all-powerful–."
BLAST!
Mizuki fired at Cinder with a laser shot. She got Cassandra freed, and Mizuki aimed at Cinder. She beeped, "Target spotted. Rocket Fist!" She fired a Robot Fist to Cinder. But she caught it with ease, gripping the wrist. Mizuki gasped, "NO WAY!"

Cinder huffed, "You're no doll, but you'll do." She was about to crush her arm, but–.
"Hey, Cinder!"
POW!
Peter slammed a huge right to her face. Mizuki recovered her left arm, and reattached it.

"Thanks, babe!" Mizuki cried. Peter called out, "NOW! Blast her!"

Mizuki prepared to fire at Cinder, but no response. "Damn! She crushed my servos. I can't retaliate."

Asahi said, "Allow me!" She held her bracelet up and changed into a robot pop idol. "MECHA POWER!" She changed into Mech-Asahi, her Kaiji alter-ego. She posed and boomed, "Cinder Fall, it's time you feel the pain, so says the Gynoid Giantess Idol – Mech-Asahi!"

She was the same size as Cinder and the others. In fact, it was her Mobile Form.

Cinder asked, "Really? A pint-sized giant robot?" Asahi tittered, "Sorry… I'm not allowed to destroy buildings, in my true form. Besides, Los Angeles is precious. This isn't Tokyo, you know."

Cinder huffed, "Sorry I asked." She and Asahi charged at each other, and they exchanged punches. Miki went to Mizuki, and she said, "You okay?"

"May have injured my wrist, but other than that, I'm fine. My body isn't what it used to be." Mizuki replied, "Damage sustained in left arm area. Need repairs."

Miki replied, "Then… let me fight her. You can take five."

Mizuki responded, "I wish I could. But I cannot afford to miss out."

Miki growled, as she said, watching Cinder and Asahi clash. "I'm useless in this fight! The Gang's losing! And Steven Cooke's not even here! All because of Neo!"

"It's not Neo's fault." Mizuki sighed, "Maybe it is… but still… What happened with Cinder, stays in Remnant. And Team RWBY, we refused to let them fight a battle they already lost."

"Eh?"

"Farra told me, on the way. Team RWBY fought Cinder, and they lost."

"I see… Mundy said that Atlas was wiped out, after that."

"And Vale."

"Eh?"

"Farra also told me that after Salem destroyed Atlas, she took Vale, too."

"Monster!" Miki seethed.

Asahi was pushed back, and Cinder punched hard onto her metallic chest and waist.

"Miki, if we don't do something… chances are, everything is doomed. I do not want to see a world burned to ashes." Mizuki seethed, "I'm going in!"

Mundy barked, "No, you don't! You're still hurt."

"I'm still fighting!" Mizuki barked.

"AND I SAID NO! IF YOU DIE, I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MESELF!" He yelled, "It's my fault I brought you into this. I brought Cinder into this, and I have to end it."

He fired his sniper rifle at Cinder, managing to hit Cinder in the right arm – her skeletal arm. Cinder gasped, holding her arm in pain. Mundy glared, as he stated, "Everyone! Stay back! It's my fault that I brought her into this mess. And goddammit, I'm not letting her live! I'll be the one that ends Cinder's chaos. Or die trying."

Cinder hovered down, "You shot me… and yet I don't feel a thing. And yes, you and I have one thing in common. You and me have ended The Gang! Thanks to you and Neo, The Gang has split! Who's missing in this equation? Steven Cooke." He snarled, as she continued, "Tell me… How can a powerless being like you have a chance to best me, the most nefarious queen in all of SALEM? I'm the greatest devil in all of Remnant! And I don't care who survives… as long as I see you burned down. The Gang is finished… all thanks to you. Because we did… what no other villain has done – We broke The Gang."

Mundy huffed, "No… You broke up The Gang. But I'm gonna patch The Gang. My only mission was to learn Roman Torchwick's murderer… and since you refuse to confess–."

"How many times do I have to tell you? I didn't kill Torchwick!"

"LIAR!" Mundy yelled.

They brawled, with Mundy fighting with his fists. He was able to punch hard on Cinder, but Cinder slash at him, pushing him away. He kneeled up and barked, "Take a knee… but I won't secede. You are pissing me off… I'm going to enjoy blowing your brains off. Dead or alive, you cannot be here! Scum like you deserve their just desserts! And I'm the one that will end you!"

Cinder seethed, and then lunged at him. Cinder was winning the battle, but Mundy was struggling to stay alive.

"What the hell's gotten into him?" Farra asked. Cassandra replied, "I think he's trying to make amends." Asahi hovered down and said, "No… He wants to finish what he started. But he can't. He's not as strong as all of us. Oscar Gooden, he's going to try and beat Cinder Fall."

Mundy was tossed down, and Cinder barked, "The only reason Neo hired you was because she has a thing for him! Underbosses are the worst of its kind! I led this faction, NOT HIM! Why do you think I set this up? Pyrrha Nikos started it! She used her Magnetic Semblance to kill the doll… Red bawls her heart out… and thus, Grimm appear, and they start to ravage Beacon Academy! Lost a lot of people, destroyed the campus, and yes… took the lives of Torchwick and Pyrrha! And do you really know who really killed them? ME! Because I orchestrated this plan from the beginning! I caused Beacon Academy's downfall! I killed Pyrrha Nikos! I made every Huntsman and Huntress ruin the dream! I even destroyed the reputation of Team RWBY! NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE!" She slashed away and hollered, "Why do you care? Torckwick was a scumbag! And you call me SCUM? I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ROMAN TORCHWICK'S DEMISE! HE DID IT TO HIMSELF, ALL BECAUSE OF RED! THERE! YOU HAPPY? YOU GOT YOUR CONFESSION FROM ME!" He was punted by Cinder, and she was furious, "You and The Gang decided to play Hero! When will you learn? I ALWAYS WIN AGAINST HEROES LIKE YOU!" She blasted him with fire, and The Gang watched in horror.

Mundy was set ablaze, and Cinder cackled evilly. Cassandra dove in and hollered, "OSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" She pulled him out of the flames, and she was upset. Mundy was lightly singed, but badly hurt.

"Gah… That's all… I wanted… to know…" Mundy fainted after that. Cassandra was sad, "No… Mundy?"

January returned, only to see Mundy down and out. January was in tears, she whispered, "No… Os… Oscar…" She was enraged, and she charged at Cinder, firing her machineguns, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Cinder avoided the gunshots, and clasped onto January's neck. Cinder hissed, "You're next, you robot…"

Farra tackled her down, and hollered, "LEAVE HER ALONE!" She started to punch hard, slamming her to the ground, "YOU ASSHOLE! BITCH! BITCH! BITCH! HATE YOU!" She continued to punch hard, and Cinder struggled to break free. She did, after she blasted fire from her body. Farra rolled out of the flames, immune to the blazing embers. Peter & Miki helped January up, and Cassandra was by Mundy's side. Mizuki and Asahi headed to Farra, and helped her up.

"You maniac!" Mizuki roared.

Cinder grinned, "Have I made my point?"

Asahi shook her head and hissed, "We won't lose to you… We're not that desperate… but you may have jumped on us."

"Where's Neo?" Cinder glared, "If you won't tell me where she is… hmmmmmm… You die next, runt."

Miki gasped, "ME?"

"Yes, you!" Cinder hissed, "You're worthless…"

She slashed at Miki, but she blocked her attack with her shovel. "A shovel?" Cinder cackled, "You stupid little–!"

BLAST!
"USHAAAAA!" Stars shot onto Cinder, and she was pushed back. Jace, Kim, & Riho arrived, and Kim was seething, "I have seen enough! Injured or not, I refuse to stay on the sidelines, long enough!"

Jace agreed, "Me too! I've had enough of this!"

Cinder glared, "You haven't had enough of me? Fine… You die next, Kim Cheonsa!"

Jace called, "You want Kim, you go through me!" Riho nodded, "And me!" She held her light sword and said, "This will do the job."

They stared down, until Cinder gasped. Neo suddenly appeared within the middle of the battlefield. Neo looked on at Cinder, and asked if this was true.

"You ask me again? Neo… You were there. We all knew what happened to Roman. I didn't instigate–."

Neo halted her, with a hand up to her. She shook her head and gestured if she was using her.

"As much as I want to admit it… Yes."

Neo gasped, as did everyone else. Riho whispered, "She… She's so cruel."

Kim glared, "How dare you…"

Peter huffed, "A leopard never changes its spots. Cinder Fall has proven that theory. She's a full-on monster."

The rest of World Agency surrounded her, as Asahi boomed, "Drop the act, Cinder! It's over!"

"HOW?" Cinder laughed, "You're losing! I beat you! No one can best me in battle!"

Neo was heartbroken, and she turned to the others. She was in tears. Cinder smirked, "Aw, that's too bad. You broke your heart? I did that? Well… I thought you were cold and callous… just like how you and Roman killed your parents. Yes… Ring a bell?"

They all gasped, as Kim whispered, "She killed her own parents?" Mizuki said, "Mundy told us. Her real name's Trivia Vanille. And she grew up with strict parents who abused her… only because her semblance was rampant."

Cinder said, "Exactly. But I didn't want to see you cry like that. You'll join Roman in Hell, once we're done here. Like I said… YOU shouldn't have intimidated me. I don't like being double-crossed. All because you wanted Red… and look at you now. You had all the answers, and they were of no help at all. Isn't that right, Neo? Or, because Neo was just a facade, should I call you Trivia?"

Neo glared, as she was flowing tears from her eyes. She was angry, and inside her heart, she knew that Cinder was baiting her. But she didn't move. She was furious that she was used by the only person she'd turn to. And in the end, Neo would be used, and tossed away.

Farra said, "Trivia! Don't listen to her! It matters not! Neo, Trivia, it doesn't matter! And screw your dark past or Torchwick! You want to be a good guy? Now's your chance."

Asahi stated, "Neo… Cinder's evil, through and through. Is this what you want? Revenge for what Cinder did? For what happened to Torchwick?"

Cinder smiled, as Neo was conflicted. Neo grit her teeth, and clutched her fists. She turned to Cinder, in a sad look, gesturing to her "Why?", as Cinder was grinning from ear to ear.

"That's because… You're nobody without him."

Neo was shocked, and she was devastated. The Gang only watched on in fright, as Neo was stunned by the truth. Cinder said, "Now… be a good girl, and die."

She held her claw up, but Jace shot stars at her, "Johnny B Badd!" Kim joined in and cried, armed with a mallet, "EAT THIS, YOU MONSTER!" She swung hard, but Cinder avoided the blows. Riho leapt up and said, "I'm an android, which is like a doll. But can a doll do this?" Her yellow energy sword slashed hard onto Cinder. Cinder was taken down by the triple attack. Cinder stumbled down, but got up quickly and hollered, "THAT'S IT! YOU DIE, YOU BASTARDS!"

Jace roared, "YOU'RE THE BASTARD, WHORE!" He landed a swift right to Cinder's face, and Kim leapt over him, launching herself to Cinder, "Now, eat this! I'll show you how weak I am, in your own psychotic little mind!"

POW!-POW!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Kim did a rapid-fire barrage of punches and roared, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! USHAAAAAA!"

She landed a swift uppercut, but Cinder avoided the blow. "Too slow."
SLAM!
Cinder hits her with a backhand. Kim goes down. Riho slashed at her, but Cinder was able to avoid the swipes. Cassandra joined in and landed a kick to the chest, "ASSHOLE!"

Cinder falls to the ground, and the rest of World Agency surrounded her again, with Mizuki & Miki aiding the injured Mundy & January. Neo was all alone, as she was still brokenhearted.

Farra was furious, "You are a scumbag. You honestly think Neo would listen to your bullshit? You don't know nothing about Neo!"

Peter glared, "Face it, Cinder. Time to see if your flames last longer."

Cinder held herself and snarled, "Who are these people? They are not those brats, but… Why? WHY? Dammit, Neo! You can't side with these fools!"

Neo held her parasol and nodded in disdain. She gripped her handle and looked on.

Asahi said, "If you're done, then surrender."

Cinder smiled, "Why bother? If you really wanna arrest me, go ahead. Besides… Neo can't talk, but she knows that actions speak louder than words."

Neo dashed in, and she stopped Peter & Farra from finishing her. Neo shook her head and held her arms out. "Neo?"

Neo nodded that she believes her. Asahi whispered, "What? You…"

Kim gasped, "No way… She's…"

Peter growled, "Dammit! I knew we shouldn't have trusted her! Thanks a lot, Mundy!"

Mizuki whispered, "No, wait! Neo… She's… She's trying to tell us something!"

Neo smirked evilly, and jabbed Cinder from behind, to the chest, using her parasol. Cinder's aura shattered, and Neo grinned evilly. But her smile turned into a frown, and she was angry.

"N-Neo? But why?" Cinder gasped.

Neo pointed at her and glared at her. In her own words, from the pose, she stated: "You know why."

"After everything I've done for you…" Cinder dropped to her knees and snarled, "You… You… You would turn on me… just like before…" She went into a fiery aura and said, "I get it… Lemme ask each of you a question. All in the same… Do you believe in destiny?"

The Gang gasped, as Asahi barked, "What are you saying?"

Mundy cried, "LOOK OUT!"

She unleashed a huge wave of fire towards The Gang, Neo, and Riho. Everyone was caught in the fire, and Cinder flew off.

"I may have injured myself, but I know better. BURN IN BLAZES, NEO! I WIN!" She flew away, leaving Los Angeles in a fiery fate.

WHOOSH!
But Farra & Cassandra were able to brush away the flames, before they could reach Los Angeles' main street. Farra roared, "GET BACK HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!" She flew off, as does Asahi.

Peter yelled, "SHE'S GETTING AWAY! AFTER HER!"

Jace hollered, "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!"

World Agency chased after the Autumn Maiden, leaving Neo, Mundy, January, Miki, & Riho behind. Neo was still sad, as Riho & Miki were tending to the injured.

January sobbed, "My god… She's… She's not human. Eh, no offense." Riho shrugged, "Meh."

"It looks like I came too late. And she impressed me." Satsuki Kiryuin appeared and said, "Kim… She's learning."

They gasped, as Neo was confused. Mundy cried, "Satsuki–? Wha–?"

Miki said, "I see… You came to watch Kim, right?"

Satsuki said, "Don't worry. I'm just observing, from behind the scenes, away from danger. I was able to evacuate most of Los Angeles, until the crisis ended."

Mundy growled, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Riho bowed and said, "Uhhh… Kim actually lied to you guys." Mundy asked, "What?" Riho responded, "Kim only wanted to see Satsuki, after she escaped, so she can train with her to become stronger!"

Mundy gasped, "WHAT? The bloody hell she'd do that for, keeping this from me!"

Neo huffed, glaring at him, as did Miki. Mundy sighed, "I deserved it. I guess she was hiding something, too… Heh… Figures."

Miki asked, "So… Kim was gone, because…" Riho confessed, "She was sick and tired of being benched."

Satsuki said, "And it's thanks to me, I was able to make her grow a spine, and make her understand that she has a unique power, like the others. Of course, once Cinder is defeated, then I will return to Prison Island, and accept my sentence – So long as it is more than 6 months, which was my original sentence."

Mundy barked, "WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?"

Satsuki asked, "Oh? You don't trust me? What about her?" She pointed at Neo. "I saw everything… and I was impressed. Neo Politan, she can change."

Mundy barked, "Gaaah…"

Satsuki said to Neo, "Satsuki Kiryuin. You must be Neo Politan – no – Trivia Vanille. Whatever name is fine."

Neo kneeled to her, and nodded her head. Mundy said, "I see that Neo acknowledges her…"

Satsuki said, "I know you don't talk… but I understand where you came from. Just know this… You are not alone. You have new friends, like The Gang. And even if you return to Ruby Rose, and make amends, and she doesn't accept, then it's okay. What happened with Torchwick… wasn't your fault at all."

Neo smiled, and she bowed to her. She dashed off, gaining confidence. Satsuki smirked, "A pure-hearted soul, reformed." Satsuki walked off, as she waited. Miki asked, "Wait! Shouldn't we go after her?"

Riho said, "Satsuki said that she'll surrender, if Cinder is defeated. But I fear the worst. We can trust in her, for now."

Mundy nodded, "Right."

January moaned, "In that case, I'm joining Neo. Oscar, please understand… You're hurt, and we'll–."
CLICK!
January powered down, after Miki deactivated her. "Sorry, January…"

Mundy huffed, "Thank you." He then asked, "How did you find it?"

Miki responded, "Riho scanned her."

Riho smiled, "She's got an OFF button. I, however, only run on energy, and won't stop, until remotely and manually turned off. I'm state-of-the-art." She smiled in confidence. Miki huffed in disgust, "Where's YOUR OFF button?"

Mundy placed January in his jeep, and he responded, "Right. I'm joining the mates."

Miki cried, "NO! You're badly injured. You can't help them!"

"I'm not helping The Gang…" Mundy said, "I'm helping Neo." He prepared himself and said, "You two wait with January. I'm going in."

"Good luck." Miki responded. Riho nodded.

He raced off, still in pain, and headed to join The Gang's pursuit of Cinder Fall.

Riho whispered, "I doubt he'll make it, but… One hopes. Mundy, please be careful."

As they were waiting, a figure was watching on, in the shadows. She was the same woman in white hair, only with a black hat and coat, and only showing her red eye.
Who was she?

To be continued…
