"What was that?!" asked Weiss while she and the others sat up.
"Did you forget that I have actual magic?" asked Salem as she readied an attack by creating multiple spears of Grimm Fluid above her head.
"No!" said Crow while rushing in front of the girls with his arm out. To everyone's surprise, Salem's attack turned back on her but she acted quick enough to turn all but one back into liquid which hit her side.
"What did you just do?" asked Salem who was stunned enough by what had happened to drop the staff and grab her side which was bleeding.
"I don't know," said Crow while looking at his hands.
"Somehow you turned your bad luck against her," said Yang as the girls got to their feet. Crow then noticed a shimmer of light bouncing off Clover's badge that he had on his wrist.
"I think I had a hand in that," said Crow under his breath.
"The staff!" said Ruby as she rushed to grab it after realizing that it was on the floor.
"No!" said Salem while reaching for it but losing to Ruby's speed as she managed to get it a mere second before the witch and then quickly returned to her team.
"It's our win," said Ruby before summoning Ambrosius.
"What can I do for you?" asked Ambrosius.
"Create a portal to the Ever After behind her which only she can go through," said Yang while pointing at Salem.
"You got it," said Ambrosius.
"What… what is this?!" asked Salem who was being pulled into the portal.
"It's checkmate for you," said Crow.
"If I'm going down then so are you!" said Salem as she went to shoot her right arm out at Crow.
"Don't think so," came Raven's voice from behind them while a blast of red energy hit the witch before she was able to grab Crow.
"No!" yelled Salem at the same time she went through the portal that closed behind her.
"Is… is it really over?" asked a shocked Yang.
