Hello everybody, Wombag1786 here, so some good news. At last, I have a new computer and can get back to writing RWBY Noir. I'm first going to go back and fix the previous two chapters and get word reinstalled as well before beginning on the next chapters but till then I'd figure I take the time to do a recap. For those who don't know or to remind people of a very convoluted timeline. First let me respond to questions and comments then we can begin. Oh and I do have the final poll for the epilogue story. I'll post the results bellow. Now onto the questions
From Blackwing8: All are good, it comes down to how they are introduced.
Yeah, they remind me of a man, the man with the power, power of voodoo (Yes you-do, you-do) That mark as you saw holds power over those marked with it. Like in zombie island, hopefully they don't molest them. Be real awkward.
Yeah, let's just say if any members of the kids find out what they did, or worse planned to do to Ruby... their be a man hunt, though I'd doubt it be that simple given the nature of these two... and their patron god. Sadly for yang theory or our version of it is reserved for the wealthy elites. Public health care is the kind you imagine with a straight jacket. Maybe try alcoholism. Worked wonders for shellshock veterans.
Well with this little trip down memory lane, maybe a reminder of why Ren and Olof are heading to Soviet Russia of all places.
Just wait a little bit more. I promise... you won't want to miss this.
Thanks for writing Blackwing8.
From Ryld: Good to be back... even if it is temporary.
Thanks for writing Ryld.
From Guest: If you're not interested in RWBY ff crossovers, why are you reading mine? Or did you just pick mine out of a hat to complain?
Thanks for writing Guest.
From Somesimplereader: Funny you mentioned the Reds, seems next chapter we will be seeing scarlet.
Yeah I would not trust that whiskey. Who want's to hear your mother nagging in your head... also the heart beat of the earth itself.
No... well maybe. It's an iconic quote.
Thanks for writing Somesimplereader.
From Crimson Weresloth: Heh, I'm fairly certain you know where... Comrade. (Insert loud USSR anthem)
Thanks for writing Crimson Weresloth.
From Ama Beck: For the love of, Dude I'm not interested. You ain't the first and probably not the last but my answerer will remain no. I learned a long time ago to never accept artist who approach you, only approach artists. So please tell your buddies to stop (Assuming your the same person)
Thanks for writing Ama Beck.
Right with that done I should also note that the vote is in. Our winner is Oath's and Bloodlines.
Longum Cornu Autumni (50 AD Spain, Roman empire) 3
The Rats within (1390 England, medieval Europe) 5
Oaths and Bloodlines (1789 France, French Revolution) 9
Shadow over the Sierra Madre (1860 America, old west) 8
So, I'll be reviewing the story map and see where I can insert this chapter in. This should be a rather unique story, but one necessary to understand the world we find our characters in. Now, onto the story map, keep in mind this story map I wrote starts at 4500BC and ends at 1926 (Currently, I'll be adding more as time goes on) I am only highlighting events from the story, or important facts such as ww1 due to the connection they have with the characters if it feels I skip over important historical events in Asia, Pre Columbus America, or Africa, I do apologize as I literally have to work with all of human history and then some so if I'm missing any details I do apologize. Enjoy.

The Necronomicon: Originally written in the 8th Century by the Mad Arab Abdul Al Hazred the Al Azif later known as the Necronomicon has been banned, burned, and retranslated. This book has been named dropped multiple times in the story, yet no one had managed to get their hands on it. The book holds many secrets of this universe, detailing in great debts the Outer Gods, the Old Ones, and even the Two brothers themselves. While the original Al Azif is official gone as of the story, the Greek translation is rumored to still be around. Leaving the accurate translation being the German and to a lesser degree Latin additions. English variants exist but are unreliable at best.
The jewel of Gla'aki: Mentioned and seen throughout the series with the first being the very first chapter. This Jewel is more than rock it is the key to the thing in the lakes escape. These stones keep Gla'aki imprisoned to our world thus it is it's top priority to seek out these gemstones to release itself from our world. So far Yang has held onto the gemstone stolen from Gla'aki's cult in chapter 1. Ruby donated one discovered in Vermont to the Blackwood Agency (Arc 1 Amidst the ancient Trees) and the Twins have collected a few according to them (Arc 14 The King in the Swamp).
Egyptian hieroglyphs: Appearing in Ch2: The soldier. They depict what looks like the two brothers war against the Black Pharaoh and his minions. Ending with them sealing this evil away.
Last confessions of Rodrick Drum: Appearing in ch3: The Priest. This vinal record contains the last confession of one Rodrick Drum. He reveals the entity that caused the strange murders at Miskatonic in 1886. Along with the revelation a flawed method of ridding the creature
The King in Yellow: Appearing throughout the story in different forms. With Rodrick Drum's son seen reading it at his fathers will reading in Ch3: The Priest. This play has a rather dark history of it's own. The first act describes a strange city called Carcosa under twin black suns beside a lake. The Second act while not known is said to be nothing short of perfection. A play so well it exceeds all human standards. Those who read it will go mad but those of artistical prowess are said to resist the madness temporarily, finding their talents expanded tenfold.
The Star room: Appearing in Chapter 5: The Vaquera. This room depicts the galaxy from points outside our solar system by lightyears. From this one can accurately decipher the true end of the universe... one that Hamish sadly figured out.
Cave Drawings: Appearing in Chapter 6: The Sailor. It depicts the war of the Deep ones against the Two brothers. Ending in the death of Father Dagon. Or the champion of the era. It's debated if Father Dagon and Mother Hydra are a title similar to a King or Queen or are a legit god among the deep ones similar to Half breeds of Greek mythology.
The Paintings of Sarrah Hawkings: Appearing in Chapter 7: The Detective. Sarrah Hawkings has a strange connection with the Mythos. Allowing her to perceive events of the past, present, and future which she depicts through her paintings. Sometimes these paintings can become a gateway which unspeakable entities use to move into our own dimension or plane of reality.
The Relic of Knowledge: This Relic was gifted to humanity by the two brothers long ago, somehow finding it's way with Ruby to Earth. (Chapter 7: The Detective) Able to answerer three questions about the Present or Pass once every hundred years, the entity within Jinn seems to have a thing for those who seek the truth of the pass, especially detectives. Sadly the three questions have been used thus they must wait an unknown time before asking. As of currently where it's hidden is unknown.
Diary of Joseph Tunner: Appearing in Arc 1 Chapter 4. This Diary contains confession of the then living Joseph Tunner before his decent into madness and eventual slave to Gla'aki.
The Pallid Mask: Worn by the protagonist of Arc 2 The Phantom of Broadway and Arc 14: The King in the Swamp. This gifted mask was destroyed at the end of the Arc but it seems to have been a prized relic. With great punishment befalling the owner rather then the destroyer. In theater the Masks are referred to as Melpomene and Thalia. Named after the Muse of tragedy and the Muse of Comedy. The Pallid suggest either a blank almost serious muse or perhaps able to transform into whatever muse needed for the role.
The Greek Scroll and the Dream Knife: Both making short appearances in Arc 3 (Missed Dues), they are not related as one is a Greek math equation and the other is a native American knife. However combine they proved rather fatal. The Greek Scroll is a math equation on how one can transport themselves to the court of Azathoth and the other is said to give the power of dream questers. Combined the knife powered the poor thief turning him and the apartment he was living in into a conduit that allowed one into the court of Azathoth. Otherwise known as the Hall of Nightmares. Who's? Everyone's. Be it human, animal, or even the gods themselves. Everyone had a room and a number here, even you the reader.
Personal notes of Jacob Smith: This small black book is the mad preachers personal notes about the Fire of Hope (Azathoth). Appearing in Arc 3 Ch2 Missed Dues. He'd hope to one day establish a cult for the Blind Idiot God with him at the head. However that was dashed when he was kicked into the court of Azathoth. What happened to the book is unknown but more then likely Yang tossed it into the trash.
The Marsh Diary: Appearing in Arc 4 Ch3 The Dead Lights, this Dairy holds a passage detailing a dark secret, suggesting he used what is referred to as "The Dead Lights" to help kills his family. A family that seems to have their own secrets. Beyond a nod to the Color out of Space, it also confirms that the Marsh Family bloodline is beyond Innsmouth.
Diary of the Unknown conquistador: Appearing in Arc 7 Ch3: Fara Ö. This recounts an expedition to an island that seem to have strangely moved from off the coast of the Philippines island to Chile. It hints at the entity on this island and it's strange fascination with women.

Encouraged by Scarlet, Ruby goes into the back to inspect a strange fossil pulled from the Australian desert. Shockingly it looks to be of a scroll. As she looked on in shock, a giant spider comes crawling out and attacks Ruby. Bigger then Zwei Ruby managed to kill it with a lamp. Rushing to get tommy and Scarlet, who became concern when it became apparent that the lamp she used to kill the bug begins to dissolve. Inspecting the corpse a ring fell from the spiders body, titled APW. Deciding to investigate it, she split off from Tommy and Scarlet who made their own plans. Heading to Miskatonics famed Orne Library to Research the ring. Finding that it was once owned by a member of the Miskatonic university Archaeological Society who uncovered the Catacombs of Korm El Shoquafa by, one Dr. Augustus Percival Whitely. Recalling the name, she investigates further and finds his obituary on Eden Island. The reason that name was so familiar was that the agency was asked to look into his death by the widow. The Director of Blackwood, Joshua Blackwood personally was investigating this matter. So, contact the Director over the school's phone, she hurried up to the Northside to show him what she found. Arriving at his doorstep his wife invites her in. Going to the study the two worked over some theories from the case file. Noticing a strange pair of glasses that reminded Ruby of cheap 3d glasses, Ruby plays around with them as she walks home with the files. Nearing her home, she spots Tommy and Scarlet on their date. But when looking through the glasses she can see Scarlet's true form. (Ch3) Horrified Ruby returns home in hopes of finding a more definitive way of handling what she saw. Tommy would return home to find Ruby scouring the papers from the file she acquired from Director Blackwood. Arguing over Scarlet, Ruby finds a spider on Tommy. Taking it to Miskaotnice she decides to research the critter.
February 11th 1926: Rushing back to the Orne Library she run's into a professor by the name of Albert N. Wilmarth. Noting the unique spider complexion he agrees to help Ruby look for a book on it. After digging around the two were sadly disappointed to find that their was no books on the subject. Just as they were about to give up, they run into Director Blackwood who was visiting to assist Dr. Henry Armitage. Looking at the spider he recognized it from a book found in the Blackwood Vault. Allowing Ruby and Professor Wilmarth to look at it, he calls the Agency on the Orne's land line while the two take Wilmarth's car to the agency. Arriving they were aloud to look at a book sent in from Japan called the, Shiruku u ebu no shinjitsu. Reading it, thanks to a translator, they found the spider is a symbol of a cult that worships a god called Atlach-Nacha. Worse it made mention how her spawn would take on human form to hunt prey. Around this time Tommy goes missing. (Ch4) A few hours later, Scarlet's apartment is raided by police with Detective agency members supporting the police. Investigating, they find no initial evidence of either one. However, after a brief fight in the rooftop greenhouse with Officer Campbell, Ruby makes a horrific discovery of human remains in the pots. Investigating further, finds multiple bodies including Curt Armstrong but no sign of Tommy. As Officer Muldoon consult Ruby, she recalls how that large spider attacked her. Thinking that there is a possible entrance to a secret lair, Ruby and Officer Muldoon head back to Exhibition Museum. Investigating the back, they find a vent that leads to an underground lair with more corpses. All wrapped in cobwebs. Tommy was one of them but still alive. But as they tried to get him out, Scarlet now in her spider form attacks them with its brood. Barely able to keep up with a Daughter of Atlach-Nacha and her spawn, they flee back up the way they came. Tommy weak from the paralyzing venom managed to nab Officer Muldoon's revolver and ignite an exposed natural gas pipe. Causing the entire cave to fill with gas and burn the mutated Scarlet. The three just managed to escape while all evidence of what happened burned underneath the museum.
February 16th 1926: Day's later Tommy was released from the hospital with a mostly good bill of health. His first stop was to Juliet Scarlet's grave with Ruby. Over the course of the five days the news outlets painted Juliet as a sadistic serial killer. Though not entirely truthful given what Ruby learned from the Shiruku u ebu no shinjitsu, no one will beleive them. Leaving her favorite flowers on her empty grave the two returned home.

A young girl who moved south from her hometown somewhere in New Hampshire due to a mysterious disease that killed her younger brother. They also made reference to a possibility that it was the dead lights that chased after her. Heading outside to use the phone, Weiss is attacked by a cat that strangely glowed. After fending it off, Sherrif Graham and Fausta walked out to check on her. Leaving an opening for Ms. Marsh to steal Fausta's car and run it down the street where she crashes the car. (Ch2) Checking the car, Ms. Marsh was missing. Curious Weiss heads back inside the dinner to inspect closely a newspaper on the wall. Hoping to find out more information on these dead lights, she was put off that the Millers acted like they never met.

Annoyed he nearly avoid hitting a down tree with his car. Struggling to get the car running, the strange colors from before appearing and have a strange effect on Sherrif Graham and Fausta. Almost hypnotizing them as it slowly consumes the car, Weiss who was unaffected struggled to get the car going only for her to stab the Sherrif's foot to get the car moving. The Lights, the one Weiss believed to be the dead lights gave chase and seems immune to any gunfire from Fausta's gun. However, by luck it seems that the Deadlights were driven off by a chance encounter lighting strike. Unsure just what had happened the group head to the Marsh farmstead with new resolve. (Ch3) Arriving they were horrified to find a number of burn marks suggesting that it's possible the Dead Lights emerged from this house as the diary of the owner seems to imply it being summoned to rid a family curse.

While smoking Sherrif Probes more into Fausta's and Weiss pass, learning that Weiss was missing a number of internal organs including parts of her uterus thus unable to have kids of her own. Just then the Dead lights attacked and the group split. Weiss running through the woods alone was cornered by the dead lights and was touched by it.

(Ch4) Ms. Marsh attacks Weiss, who initially tried to desolate but eventually disarmed her and pinned her to the ground with her rapier. After Marsh Calmed down, she explains that her grandfather went mad and summoned the deadlights, though she seems to refer to it as a color rather than a light. After some background, Weiss heads for Huntsville while Marsh calls it a fools journey and heads away from the doom town. While in town, Weiss is exposed to the Color from the dead lights, seeing a vision of the deepest parts of space before breaking free. Upon awakening she found herself among multiple towns folks.

Arc 12 The Chill of the Past
August 12th 1924: (Ch1) At a Chairty auction in San Fransico, Weiss can be seen bidding for many impressive artworks she'd hope to donate to Fort Worth Museum for credit and tax exemptions. While bidding a prized Stetson owned by legendary gunslinger Joseph "Boston" Bishop comes up and Fausta tries to bid for it, only for two ugly men in strange accents begin bidding crazy for it. The two got into a scuffle and the Auction house goes into recess as they handle the dispute between the two men over the hat. In the lobby Weiss asked Fausta about the background on Boston Bishop to which a (Oc submitted) Canadian writer Greyson Philip overheard and assisted Fausta with providing context. In the 1870's Boston Biship was a famous gunslinger who killed scores of men in legendary dues. Joining a mad Mormon they carved a path of destruction till in 1876 killed in a gun fight against another legendary gunfighter Aestas Blackwood. Returning back to the auction the next piece was an Aztec knife dedicated to the god Itztlacoliuhqui. It famously accompanied the Ill-fated Donnor Party back in 1847. As the bid goes up to One hundred thousand Weiss almost won when members of the Pinkerton Police arrived. They take the knife for some unknown reason; this is where Weiss first meets (Oc submitted) Maria Winchester who took interest in Weiss. The auction continued and by the end, Weiss had gained a significant number of paintings that she plans on donating. Boarding a train to Denver, the train crosses over the Seirra Madre pass Donner Lake only for a snowstorm to suddenly manifest. Getting something from the Cafe car she met up with Greyson when a member of the Pinkertons appeared. Frozen and craze the Pinkerton attacks the two. Without Myrtenaster on hand Weiss had difficulty killing this crazed savage. She and Greyson struggled till Agent Winchester arrived and killed her crazed underlings. Hushing a name before death Avaloth.
August 13 1924: (Ch2) After the incident, Ms. Fausta questions Weiss about the incident, she seems to be needling her about her background rather then the incident. After a tense and at time hostile questions Weiss was released and she returns back to her cabin. Meeting up with Mr. Philips they agreed to discuss more about this Avaloth figure. That night Weiss has a nightmare of herself in a strange cave, hearing stranger chants. Going deeper inside she finds a horrifying wall of frozen bodies impaled to the wall. She was then chased by monstrous Pagon like men to the caves entrance only to be grabbed to which she awakes. After getting dress she and Fausta meets Greyson where after some discussion, Weiss finds a note in Mr. Philips books from William Jones (Megasiáwa) detailing a coloration of similar beliefs among the natives from Mayans to Inuits about a being that walks on winds in the great white north. After discussing more on the matter the three sneak into the back to get a better look at the knife brought onboard by the Pinkertons when they discovered a horrifying scene. It was as if liquid nitrogen was released, blood and ice burns all over the luggage car. As they inspect the area closer Agent Winchester appears and knock out Weiss. (Ch3) While unconscious she dreams of her childhood. Subconsciously recalling the name Avaloth from her childhood as a childhood nightmare. After awaking from her nightmare, she found herself waking up in a makeshift interrogation room. Their Agent Winchester interrogates Weiss, probing more into her pass. After resisting Agent Winchester made a deal. In exchange for throwing her companions under the bus she will help her reunite with Ruby. Leaving Weiss to thinks on it, an unknown amount of time pass's before the train suddenly crashes unexpectedly. It was boarded by what can only be describe as a wild man, and Weiss was forced to defend herself with a broken table leg. As she fought her way up, Fausta and Philip who were locked in the front of the train managed to get free. Fighting their way down the train against the wild men with weapons scavenged. They both reunite at the cafe care where Fausta knocks out Agent Winchester. (Ch4) After retrieving their weapons, a group of surviving members of the Pinkertons and train passengers of the attack formed a group to chase down these wild men who had kidnapped some of the passengers. Following the trail to Donnor Lake they discovered a hidden cave beneath the lake that led to a strange arch of Aztec design. After touching it, Weiss suddenly finds herself in a mysterious ice cave. Walking through it, she comes across a translucent Faunas girl. This ghost then seems to lead a sunken house, one that Weiss recognizes as Atlas based. Entering she finds a harrowing scene of frozen blood. Finding a family locket and a diary, she reads the heartbreaking story of a family lost in the snow slowly becoming desperate as the daughter changes into a harrowing monster. Speaking of which the monster appears and attacks Weiss who quickly evades before burring the monster within the house. Elsewhere Fausta and the party had arrived in the cave and are seen looking for Weiss, while looking, they were attacked by a strange polar bearlike creature after finding runes confirming a strange entity dedicated to a god of ice. The only reason they got away was due to some dynamite Fausta was caring (Ch5) As Weiss wanders the halls of ice she hears the sound of an explosion, following it she reunites with Fausta and Mr. Philips. The two being the only ones to survive when the posse was attacked by the bear. After some bantering as well as finding the last confession of a native Aztec on the wall, Weiss hypothesis that the gateway they entered acted as a teleporter of sort. This of course was put aside as they hear the sound of chanting. Following the chanting they entered what seems to be the main worshiping room. There the wild men seem to be dancing around a whicker man effigy with the kidnapped passengers forced to watch. Coming up with a plan, Weiss and Fausta acts as a distraction as Philips set up dynamite around the temple. As they fought, Mr. Philip set off the explosions causing the temple to cave in to which the three shoed the hostages down the tunnel hoping to find the gateway back to Donner Lake. While running they were attacked by the still alive polar bear creature and the savage monster. Barely keeping ahead Weiss was the last one to escape, and it was due to the intervention of the ghostly child. Rushing out into the cave beneath Donner Lake she is met by Agent Winchester who shot the gate, cutting it off before the monster could crossover. The lake begins to collapse down and the two barely escape.
August 15th 1924: Days later, the train managed to arrive in Reno where everyone who survived was forced to sign an NDA by federal agents. The whole event was covered up and the public at large believes wild men still live in the mountains. Weiss using her knowledge was able to strong arm reparations payments for the destruction of the artwork out of the Pinkertons. With the funds being donated to their rivals out of spite for the treatment of what they did to her and Fausta. Before leaving. Mr. Philips decided to change his plans and head to Mexico City to learn more about the entity. Promising to visit him, the two part with the Canadian. In the train Weiss looks out to see the ghost girl from before. She seems to be taking in the warm weather, before fading. Freed from an eternity of cold.

He is sadly could not overturn the verdict and due to the witness's having a blank memory of the event has left former politician Winston Churchill sentence to death. Blake after speaking has provided some evidence that could assist thus Author reluctantly agrees to help. Looking into the lynchpin of this arson murder was a strange Gargoyle statue discovered amidst Stonehenge. Looking over files on the history of the Gargoyle it seems the stone effigy had caused fires throughout its dark history with the last one being in 1698 when Whitehall burned down. An occultist named Eric Bacon supposedly handled the statue but how was lost to history. Heading to where the statue is located, Blake see's a strange black dog that chased her away from Author.

While Blake noticed the similarities between his pistol and Blakes Dust rounds, the others had barge in as many more thralls were after them. Fighting their way out. They ran into more, all of whom seem resistant against regular ammunition. Blakes Dust bullets, a nearby fire extinguisher, and a bust made from Yew Wood. They were also given a momentary distraction when the dog that stalked Blake had caught up fending off the flames rather than attacking Blake. Fighting their way into the Hall of Lords, using the bust she plugged the hole that housed the Abhartach in an effort to end the madness. It seemed to work for only a moment before suddenly the statue explodes. Out shoot's a swarm of flames that moved like a single entity. Chasing the group, Blake managed to draw its attention, barely escaping she jumped out the window to safety.

They tried to take her skin, and using their knives that can cut through aura they almost did. Taking a piece of her skin, FEB managed to step in and hide Blake who passed out.

As she does, Mehmet emerges and throws Nora, FEB, and Jobert onto the train cars that was unhooked before going after Blake, Oliver, and Audre. Rushing to the front, Blake tried to fight off Mehmet, but he was using the power of the Sedefkar Simulacrum. Effectively tanking the dust based bullets with ease why using a blade that could cut through Blakes aura like butter. As Blake tries to fend off Mehmet's attacks, Oliver and Audrey tried to disconnect the Sedefkar Simulacrum from the bowls of the possessed locomotive. As Mehmet tried to prevent this, Nora, flying with Jobert and FEB holding onto Maghild. Crashes into the locomotive.

After some, legal and moral debating they managed to discover that Großmann owns a shed in a nearby Gnome Coloney. Inside the shack they discovered a number of Gnomes as well as a smoker. Blake discovers a doll made from little girls panties. Despite her discuss for such a vile thing, horrible thoughts crept inside and she becomes infatuated by the doll. Before anything creepy could happen they were called by a local woman and a nun. The nun, (Oc submitted) Sister Alice Evans is an English volunteer who came to Berlin to help the Veterans. She took note of Blakes missing tongue and made the offer to help her learn sign language. After getting answers from the local, the group head to the Rote Burge, where they interviewed Inspector Krieg, the lead inspector on the Großmann case. Looking over the case file, and Großmann personal diary they discovered the connection with the murders and Großmann. All the victims are previous girls that avoided Großmann's murders. With Franziska Schamzkovkas at the top of the list. As they look over the information, Hooker goes to call Prince Gabriel Constantinovich only to learn that the princess is gone. (Ch4) Rushing back to Hotel Russia, they found it to be chaotic with both White Russians and members of the Organization Consul rushing about to try and find a lead. After some scrambling Prince Gabriel Constantinovich realized that it's possible the princes ran off to some place that is familiar to her. The nearby zoo, Anastasia loves animals. Heading there the group splits up to look for her. While separate, Ren, Hooker, and a young member of the Organization Consul, were looking they spotted Anastasia in the Ostrich house. Giving chase a few members of the white Russians become possessed and mutate with multiple hideous appendages. Joining a little late, Blake helped defend the princes from the possessed White Russians and cassowary's that somehow got free from their enclosure. As they fought the mutated white Russians, the demon Großmann spoke through them, mocking the group as killed the Russians. After the incident Anastasia willingly returned back to the hotel as she wished not to see any more bloodshed. Back at hotel, a fight breaks out as Ren reveals the true identity of Prince Gabriel Constantinovich as Shabelsky Bork. Am officer in the Sovereign Order of Saint John and the assassin who killed Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov. As they fought the demon reveals itself and once more tried to kill the princess. But was stopped easily. In it's calmest voice it mocks the group swearing no place will be safe. Putting aside the bickering the reveled Officer Bork hands explains a ritual passed down from the Order of Saint John, to use the Solstice to banish the evil entity. Requiring a fetish related to the spirit, Ren suggests the doll found in the shed that Blake picked up. Leaving Ren and Hooker got into an argument out on the streets when Blake shockingly breaks it up by speaking. Realizing that she was a mute, the Demon Großmann reveals himself through Blake. (Ch5) The demon Großmann used Blake's body to attack the group. Breaking Hookers arm, cutting FEB, and nearly killing him and Ren before being hit by a car driven by Sister Alice Evans. Getting back up she races after them, using Blake's natural athleticism with Großmann demonic powers. After a few close calls the group managed to get away from the possessed Blake, however she followed them to Großmann apartment.
June 24th/25th 1925: Arriving at Großmann apartment before midnight, the five entered the apartment and quickly enters Großmann former room. Following the instructions of dancing around the artifact the fetish till morning. Preforming the ritual for hours, it seems it's not working till FEB's cross became hot. Just then Olof becomes possessed. Ren and Hooker quickly dropped out of the ritual to keep Olof from disrupting it. As they fought, FEB and Sister Evans were almost successful when suddenly the possessed Blake steps in. The ritual almost stopped; Ren makes a sacrifice of blood. Cutting off his thumb and using the Cross and badge that was carved with symbols of power to tune the ritual. The doll burns and Großmann is expelled from Blake and Olof before the spirits of his many victims appear. Dragging him to hell as the Morning sun rises.
The day after, things seemingly calmed down. Großmann spirit has truly been removed. At the train station, Ren explains to Hooker the truth about Shabelsky Bork, the Organization Consul, and Franziska Schamzkovkas. Apparently the false prince and the Organization Consul tried to murder Walther Rathenau, a Ministor who negotiated a deal with the soviets to null the debt to the former Russian Empire in exchange of recognizing the Soviets as a country. Only reason they failed was due to an anonymous tip that warned him. As for the princess, she isn't the real Anastasia. Rather a Polish Peasant. Rather disappointed, the women retained her persona as the long-lost princess for her own safety out of Berlin. But not before thanking Detective Hooker and Ren. The two watch as she leaves by train out of the city, with Ren stating that once Olof is out of the hospital, they will head to Leningrad, to search for Olof's missing son.
June 26th 1925: The day after, things seemingly calmed down. Großmann spirit has been successfully exercise from Blake and Olof as well as the entire city. At the train station, unfortunately Shabelsky Bork, the one claiming to be Prince Gabriel Constantinovich was arrested by German authorities alongside members of the Organization Consul, for trying to kill Ministor for foreign affairs Walther Rathenau. While it means a valuable recourse was gone, Blake hardly cared for the removal of such a man and especially Organization Consul. As she watches Princess Anastasia leave, she is confronted by Sister Evans who'd figured out Blake was a spy. Promising to keep her secret on one condition, that she helps out with the Chairty work at the RKK.

The thugs while squabbling didn't notice as Tesla enters the room, armed with one of his inventions, an electric shock glove. After a close fight, Jaune and Tesla stood triumph over the down Jersey thugs. As Mari enters to find a number of downed thugs, Tesla gives Jaune Crocea Mors back, modified to be more inconspicuous. Along with that, Jaune makes one last request of the Serbian. Something he is sure would be greatly helpful in the investigation. Agreeing the scene cut's to the Washington Theater late in the evening. Due to the press on the murders, a heavy police presence can be seen keeping an eye for suspicious behavior. Thanks to Tesla's tinkering with Crocea Mors Jaune was able to get it past security. Sitting with Mari, the two watched the play of King Richard 3rd. As they waited, hours pass with no sign of the phantom when the device Jaune borrowed from Tesla goes off. Someone is moving on the catwalk over the stage. Going to see who, with Mari following him they came upon a horrific effigy of a hoarse made from corpses, one being Sanchez. Suddenly dropping down from above, the Phantom attacks. Using a mixture of wiring and knives the Phantom nearly killed the two but Jaune was able to distract the phantom by calling her out. Revealing herself to be the understudy, Ms. Boulton. Ms. Bolton mocks Jaune even making passing knowledge on Jaune's past. That distraction however allowed for Mari to get the jump on the phantom and cut the wiring holding up the catwalk. The three took a tumble down onto the stage below. Somehow surviving, Ms. Bolton tries to kill Monsieur Petit but failed thanks to Jaune. Police in the theater opens fire and the mask Ms. Boulton wore breaks. Horrified she rushes out with Jaune chasing after.

However, Ms. Boulton for breaking the mask is to be punished. The Masked figure take Ms. Boulton's soul away, Jaune trying to stop them suddenly was stopped when a withering curse afflicted him. The Figure warned Jaune to stop, and to consider himself lucky before leaving with Ms. Boultons soul.

Tearing the monster apart before retrieving his brass knuckle knife that was stolen from him, he reveals himself as Jacob Schmidt. Putting together he was the one that Yang with, Jaune convinces Schmidt to let them help him. Following him towards the water where he last saw Yang being dragged, the two compared notes. Schmidt learning about Remnant while Jaune learns that Yang had lost all her memories. As they followed the river, they find a cave and within, Jaune can hear the calling of his mother. (Ch5) Climbing up and inside they found the entity within known as the Earth Mother who tried to convince them to merge with it by projecting illusions of their mothers. Schmidt and Jaune resisted the illusion while Trish were lost in hers. Shaking it off the two find the cave was no longer rocky but covered in fleshy growths that cover the entire room. At the end of the cave they find Yang who was still being merged with the entity. Growing a mutated arm where her robotic one was. The Earth Mother now trying to forcefully merge the two and attacks them. Fending off the tendrils for as long as they could until they were stopped by the missing professor. The man wife was its latest victim prior to Yang thus stopped when it recognized her husband. Pondering what to do, Jaune was convinced the mutating professor to end this madness which he does with a stick of dynamite. Blowing him and the Earth Mother and causing the cave to collapse. Schmidt, Jaune, and Trish carried Yang out but when the Earth Mother regaining her senses tried to take Yang back. In a desperate moment Jaune was forced to cut off Yang's arm mutated arm. Falling into the waters outside the cave Jaune preforms CPR to revive Yang. Waking up, she punches Jaune in the face not knowing who he is. It takes Schmidt a few minutes to keep her calm and not break Jaune's teeth. Heading to the truck back on the farm, they were stopped by the Sherif and a makeshift posse of towns folks. Angered as Schmidt recalls how he was Incahoot's with the moonshiners, runs them over with the truck before beating them to death brutally. Horrified, Jaune wonders how he can get Yang away from such a man. Later that night, back in Arkham.

She asked him about her past, to which Jaune gives an abridge summery. Yang mistaking their relationship kiss him. Before Jaune could fix this, Yang confines that after what she went through, she needs a break from it all. Jaune relents when the visions of the Pallid mask can be seen.

October 20th 1925: (Ch1) Audrey trying to civilize Nora brought her to the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) While exploring, a board Nora notices a painting in the Polish Exhibit. For some reason the painting of the women looks oddly familiar. Elsewhere Oliver and Jobert while at the Louve came across Hassan who was being chased by the art museum staff. As he runs off, a wall in the Louvre had been destroyed opening up a secret stash of painting by an unknown artist. The paintings were odd, with beautiful yet haunting visages of scene. Such impressive work that one was brought to the ongoing Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes as a last-minute addition to the French exhibit
October 21st 1925: (Ch2) In the middle of the night, Hassan breaks into Nora's room. He was attacked at the louvre by some unknow force, covered in multiple bite wounds he begs Nora not to bring him to the hospital before passing unconscious. Nora with some assistance from Oliver struggles to get Hassan into a bathtub filled with ice. Sadly, after a miscommunication without context they were discovered by Jobert. Nora was chewed out by Audrey the next day at the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes. While walking through they spotted a crowd who gathered, drawn in by the sounds of a violin, Nora see's a horrific murder around the painting discovered in the Louve. The painting was a Parady of "The Supreme being Festival" with a ginger dwarf playing the Violin seems to take center stage. Thinking that this is in connection to Hassan's bizarre injuries Nora decides to look into the matter, only to hit multiple roadblocks. Taking a break, she checks up on Hassan who was treated by the family doctor, searching his pockets she found a photo of a girl with the words reading from Élisa. Recognizing the Cabaret club in the background she heads to the 5th Arrondissement to find Élisa. When she arrives, she finds that she was unwelcomed in this part of the city. She does find the club and before the patrons could start a fight, Élisa appears and the two left the bar to talk. As they do, Nora finds out she is a communist. Putting aside Élisa political alignments Élisa promises to look into the matter while Nora goes to burn that painting. (Ch3) Sneaking into the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes she intends to burn the painting but finds something is preventing the matches from remaining lit long enough to burn the painting. Just then the painting came alive and she was chased by a Count with a wolfish grin. Barely escaping, the entity seemed spooked when Nora was chased into the Polish exhibit. Transforming into a large swarm of insects that scattered before a painting Nora caught attention of earlier. She got a better look of the painting but still couldn't put her finger on why she looks familiar. Heading back after the painting she finds it gone, having no idea where it is she heads home and explains what happened to Jobert and Audrey. As they ponder what had happened, Élisa knocked on the front door. She had discovered something in a diary collected during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. It was written by a Prussian spy during the French Revolution, in one page written near the end, the author, Gilber Beilschmidt, recalled an incident involving a Painter by the name of Gérard LeBeau, who heard the Music of Zann detailed how his work left untold horrors. Thus, when they arrested the artist he took care of Gérard LeBeau. Using the name of the painter Jobert found in a criminal codex that listed Gérard LeBeau. Apparently, his death sparked the penal code that protects witnesses. As the group comes to the realization that Gérard LeBeau art was killing people, Hassan begins to violently convulse. Having no idea what to do, Nora decides to unlock Hassan's aura to give him a fighting chance. As soon as she does, Hassan spewed out a number of insects that were devouring him from the inside. With Hassan safe, Nora, Jobert, and Élisa head to the Louve to end this madness. (Ch4) When they entered the Louve, Jobert pulls Nora aside for a moment to tell Nora his disapproval of having Élisa, a known communist in his home. However, they were forced to table the conversation when they discovered signs of a horrible killing spree. At the center of the Louve, they find a demented Gérard LeBeau, alive in a semi sort of way. He was using the blood to finish a painting, one that seems to distort the world around him. Acting quick the three tried to take him down only for Gérard LeBeau to use the power of his art to defend himself. It wasn't till Hassan arrived did the fight change. Burning the painting before it was finished caused Gérard LeBeau spirit to be sucked away into the void. The insects he used for a physical form dies, and his Paintings destroy themselves. Before the last one could, Nora see's it change into a different painting, of three individuals, a Noble, a Sans-Culotte, and a little girl that shares an amazing resemblance with the Women in Polish exhibit. Sadly she could not look into this as the four had to flee with Police rushing in to investigate the scene.
October 25th 1925: One the last day of Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes, Nora, Hassan, and Élisa are seen looking at the painting in the Polish exhibit. Nora explain to Hassan about his new found abilities, as well as prospect of gaining a Semblance. While discussing Nora comes across the creator of the exhibit Jozef Czajkowski. He kindly explains the painting is of the mythical Baroness Gelu of Saxony. A supposed witch who saved France from the devil. He gave a rather sad ending how she was demonized, and her family being forced to flee East. Though her bloodline survived and would lead to the Royal King of Poland.
