it had been a few hours sins it all had happen sins the peace talks between Winter and Ironwood of atlas and Ghira, Kali and Sienna of the white fang so far the peace talks been going well there were still a few hick ups evrey now and again but they pushed threw as most stuff had been agreed such as giving Menagerie more ground to allow them to expand there homes and businesses why also allowing the world of remnant to open supplies lines such as food, water and dust to them in return  Sienna said she get the white fang in control and stop there attacks  and get them to calm down in return she want new weapons and some amour to help protect her people 

at fist it was a no but after talking ironwood agreed he send a few weapon to help her but not just that as what he said next took a lot of Persuasion but he send a small clone trooper company of shock troopers under commander stone command along with jet company under Commander Jet to aid in cleaning near by areas of grimm and  helping to bring peace  and at fist it was a down right no from Sienna but after talking to Winter and Ghira help she said she allow a test trial to see how it gose

next was about the SDC as  Ghira, Kali and Sienna all agreed they want to free there people from the dust mines and bring Jacques Schnee the CEO of the Schnee Dust Company (SDC), the largest Dust-mining company in Remnant and bring him to justice for his crimes  

at fist ironwood was not to sure he knew how power full Jacques was and how he was fighting Robin hill  for a seat on the atlas council and even if he did not get it Jacques  would have a lot of diplomatic pull with the Atlas council and the other councils of remnant due to how large and power full the SDC had become over the years so it be hard going but he and Winter agreed to help  find a way to free there people and make Jacques pay

at the same time  why this had been going on the 2 v 2 team match's in vytal festival tournament at Amity Colosseum  had come to a end yesterday and now the 1 v 1 match's had start up this would be the vial  rounds to see who come out on top and there was not many teams

it was now down to the signals matchs and there was only 3 teams left the fist was Team RWBY witch Yang Xiao Long would be fighting for them, next was team JNRP where Pyrrha Nikos would be fighting for them, next was team CRME all better known as Cinder team where Mercury Black would be fighting for them and last was Penny team where Penny Polendina would be fighting them they be the ones fighting in the last few rounds with Yang and Pyrrha fighting for beacon, Penny for atlas and Mercury for Mistral and haven  as we now see how this would all end and soon the 1 on 1  match's would be starting

at the same time Pyrrha Nikos meets Professor Ozpin in his office, where Qrow Branwen is also present. When Pyrrha inquires about the purpose of the meeting, Ozpin asks her what her favorite fairy tale is. He mentions the Story of the Seasons, which Pyrrha recounts:

An old hermit is visited by four sisters, who each in their own unique ways are kind to him; the first (Winter) by encouraging him to meditate and reflect, the second (Spring) by bringing him fruit and flowers as well as revitalizing his garden, the third (Summer) convincing him to step outside and embrace the world, and the fourth (Fall) by asking for him to be thankful for what he has. The old man gives the sisters great powers in return for their kindness, and the four maidens go through Remnant spreading their gifts.

After Pyrrha finishes telling the story, Ozpin claims that it is true - the four Maidens did exist, and wielded a tremendous power distinct from both Dust use and Semblance, and more akin to "magic". Joined by Glynda Goodwitch and James Ironwood, Ozpin tells Pyrrha that she has been chosen to inherit the powers of the Fall Maiden. Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood and Qrow declare that they are the protectors of the world and that they need her help.

They proceed to bring Pyrrha to a massive vault located deep beneath Beacon Academy. Glynda explains the nature of the Maidens: They have existed for millennia, their powers passing to a new host each time the previous one passes away. The power itself seeks out the next host, always a young woman, through a series of what Qrow calls "stupid and convoluted rules". Under usual circumstances, the last person the maiden thinks of will become the next, but in the case that they are male, too old, or otherwise ineligible, the subsequent one is chosen randomly.

The existence of the Maidens was once common knowledge, but this fame caused people to hunt them down in order to take their power. In order to protect both the Maidens and the world, a group was founded, which decided to keep the power of the Maidens a secret and allow them to pass into legend. The duties of the group are now filled by Ozpin and his allies, who decided that it would be safer to continue to keep this long-standing secrecy than risk the panic and uproar that might follow the truth.

Qrow explains that Pyrrha is being let in on this ancient knowledge now because there is great urgency to selecting the next Maiden. The previous Fall Maiden, Amber, was attacked, and for the first time in history, a part of her powers were stolen. There is a fear that the peace that pervades in the world will soon come to an end.

Currently, Amber is in a comatose state on life support, held in the vault. The four teachers are seriously concerned about the consequences of Amber's impending death. Amber's power could be transferred to her assailant as they might be in her final thoughts, or the sundered power might seek to reunite with its other half. The exact consequences are unknown, as the Maiden's power has never been split in such a way before.

Pyrrha decides to accept the mantle of the Fall Maiden, but there are yet more complications. Due to Amber's condition, the inheritance of her powers cannot occur by natural means. Atlas has been researching the nature of Aura and has developed the ability to "capture" and artificially transfer it to a different recipient, a prospect that repulses Pyrrha. The group plans to use this technology to transfer Amber's Aura, and the powers that are bound to it, to Pyrrha; however, this transference would have unknown effects on Pyrrha herself. Ozpin allows her until the end of the Vytal Festival to decide if she still wishes to go through with this.

With the sound of a rapid heartbeat, the scene cuts to a smirking Cinder Fall as she sits in one of the Amity Colosseum's seats along with the rest of the cheering crowd, their screams being drowned out by the announcements.

Port over the broadcasting system spoke " Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for! The one-on-one finals!" he say  as in the center of the battlefield's stage, Yang Xiao Long smirks confidently as the camera pans down the line of final fighters, a few new faces mixed in with Sun Wukong, Penny Polendina, Mercury Black, and the troubled Pyrrha at the other end of the line " Barty, why don't you explain the rules?"

Oobleck spoke next " Ah, it's quite simple, Peter. Instead of a bracket system, each round of the finals will be randomly determined immediately before the match takes place!"

Port smiled and add "Much like any good hunt, there will be zero time to prepare!"

Oobleck then spoke again " Ah, yes, yes! Now, let's see who our first match will be!"

The energetic doctor points out to the screens above the stadium as the roulette starts spinning, this time for competitors instead of biomes. The "random selection" is watched by the owner of the Crow Bar, a group of Human and Faunus kids, the visitors and workers at the Cross Continental Transmit System, before it gets back from the worldwide audience glimpses to reveal the first showdown as Port spoke "Yang Xiao Long and Mercury Black!"

Ruby cupping her hands to make sure her encouragement is heard from her spot alongside RWBY, JNPR, and SSSN " Break a leg, sis!" she yelled

Cinder  still smiling, gets up from her place and begins walking out, eyes on the battlefield as port spoke " Would all other combatants please leave the stage!"

The rest of the lineup does so, and Yang starts walking up to Mercury in the middle as the floor around them opens once more, with a ring of spotlights rising up to automatically fix their lights on the remaining two.

Yang smiling "You better not go easy on me." she say

Mercury: (laughing darkly) You wish.

Both brawlers face the crowds one last time, then slowly start advancing on each other, arms raised defensively until their hands can almost touch, as the final countdown commences as port spoke " Three! Two! One! Fight!"

Immediately, Yang throws a punch, and Mercury spins his foot to meet it, creating a shockwave between the weapons that launches him back. He closes the distance quickly and aims at her feet with Talaria, but she leaps over it and fires off a shot of her Ember Celica that he rotates to avoid. They fight fist-to-fist for a moment, Yang getting in a fiery blast on her opponent at the cost of him also landing a blow on her. She falls back on her feet when Mercury shoots himself into the air to get farther away from her, looking up and smiling.

Yang doesn't relent for a second, launching shot after shot only for Mercury to dodge each of them, sliding around the stage on clouds of air until he attempts to come down on her with his leg. She blocks and pushes away the attack, but he goes under her shotgun burst and manages to land a kick on her, though she still lands in a crouch, now grimacing. She launches forward with a double blast and continues landing blow after blazing blow on him, right up to when he roundhouse kicks her in the back and attempts to hit her with his heel. She gets out just in time and punches he ground trying to get him, but he leaps out and twirls to get a hit on her. One of his kicks seems to pass over her, but then he brings it down hard enough to shatter the steel underneath, which Yang narrowly rolls backward to avoid.

They exchange kicks after this attack until Mercury hits her backwards, and he rushes forward only to receive a fist to his chin, then his torso, knocking him on his stomach. He gets up right as Yang starts raining down fire again, causing him to somersault back until one explosion causes him to get knocked off of the stage. He saves himself by firing his boots downward and flying back in front of his enemy, unleashing a series of kicks that put Yang on the defensive. She ducks under one attack only to receive another as Mercury jumps into the air to knock her back, and he follows it up with a shot from his boots. Yang avoids it effortlessly, not noticing it still hanging around behind her.

Switching tactics, Mercury starts shooting his foot out in every direction, each kick into the air accompanied by a silvery blast that are barely even aimed at Yang. She dodges each one coming her way and gets in close through the circling barrage of shots, fighting with their fists again until Mercury kicks her into the air and knocks her right back to the ground, followed by the dozens of swirling shots that now converge right on to Yang.

When the blasts stop coming down on his opponent, Mercury gets up from his crouch and grins to himself, dusting off his outfit and seeming as happy as can be until the smoke from behind him erupts into flames. His momentary shock turns into another smile as he turns around to see the red-eyed Yang slam her knuckles together and come at him. Screaming, she lands a punch that sends him back, and she rushes up avoiding each kick and even taking one with no effect to pound at him with an unrelenting bombardment of left-right blows. He has enough time to let out a pained groan before she hits him in the stomach, his Aura sparkling up to try and defend him from the last hit to the face by the upset blonde. He lands on his back as the buzzer sounds over the roars of the audience.

  Yang lowers her fists and closes her eyes, breathing a sigh of relief before opening them back up to her usual lilac and raising her arm in victory as port spoke " What a way to kick off the finals!"

 while the stage is enclosed by the stadium floor again Oobleck spoke " Yang Xiao Long wins!" he say

Ruby splaying her arms in excitement " Yeah! You did it, sis!"

Blake giving a standing ovation as Weiss Schnee pumps her fists " Way to go, Yang!" Blake says

Yang wiping her brow with an arm as she addresses the hunched-over Mercury " Better luck next time." she say as she starts walking to the exit, getting pretty far away before Mercury seems to get up outside her peripheral vision.

Mercury murderously angry "There's not going to be a next time, Blondie!"

A sharp sound is heard in the sudden silence as Yang turns around just in time to see Mercury leap forward with a kick to his unsuspecting victim. Yang scowls as she just manages to both bring her gauntlet down on and shoot his leg before he hits her. The second she does so, there is a sound of something breaking. The audience gasps in shock, and Mercury reels back from the pain.

Oobleck getting up from his chair gasp " My word!"

Port to someone offscreen " Cut the cameras!" he yell

The looks of surprise, horror, and hatred at Yang cut to a view of Mountain Glenn, where two Goliaths near a ruined hamburger joint and a pack of Beowolves up in the construction beams of an unfinished building all look towards the Colosseum floating near Beacon.

Mercury still grasping his injured body part, rocking back and forth " My leg, MY LEG!" he yell

Yang trash talking spoke up " That's what you get, you little- Huh? "she say as she stops just as she notices the Atlesian Knight-200 droids, two Soldiers, 8 clone shock troopers and Commander Thorn circling the Huntress-in-training and raising their guns to her 

( made the art my self)

Thorn who had his z6 cannon aimed it at her "Yang Xiao Long, stand down!" he yell at her 

" we got her cover sir " one of the shock troopers say

"stand down  Xiao Long" a 3ed Shock trooper yelled

Yang not having a clue what's going on " What!? Why!?"

"Mercury! "Emerald rushes over to her partner's side, comforting him 

Mercury crying hysterically " Why'd she do that!? WHY'D SHE ATTACK ME!?"

Yang receives a disgusted scowl from Emerald, only now looking up at the screens above her to see the footage of what just transpired: Yang circling the crouched-down Mercury until the footage cuts to him just standing there and her suddenly shooting him in the leg. The sound of something breaking rings out, and Mercury screams and falls over in pain.

It takes a moment of staring at the images until Yang finally understands what she did, and her gaze turns up to the wide-eyed, terrified faces of Blake, Weiss, and Ruby. She looks around at the guns aimed at her and the people cursing her name, still not knowing what just happened or what will come next before the clones escort her off stage taking her to to her dorm

.

.

we skip to around 30 minites later where we find thorn, Rex, ARC trooper fives, 4 Shock troopers  and 2 Atlesian Knight-200s  standing out side team rwby dorm room  on guard the reason was General Ironwood was inside talking to team rwby in privet 

( made this art my self )

we see Qrow arrive at the dorm as he get close two shock troopers move in blocking his path " let me threw that my Niece dorm i need to make sure she ok" he say as he try to get threw but the clones did not  let him " i said my Niece is in there"

"Mr Branwen General Ironwood has ordered that no one be allowed in there untill his meeting with team rwby is done" Commander Thorn says  as he walk over to Qrow " when it open we will tell you"

"don't care what she's accused of Let me in." Qrow says as he tap his finger on Thorn chest in a rough way making him take a step back

Thorn nod to two guards who walk up behind qrow "Sorry sir the General order stands this is now a military operation and under his jurisdiction" Thorn says 

.

.

.

(i took the saean out side rwby dorm between Qrow and Thorn from the clone wars when Anakin tried to speak to ahsoka in jail after the bombing just turn Fox in to Thorn, the prison in to the hall way out side the dorms and   Skywalker in to qrow but this is what i went for)

https://youtu.be/nsG2zwNM93w

any way back to the chapter

.

.

.

rex got in the middle " woh, woh, woh we need to calm down" he says as he look at them" Thorn lets stand down we can short this out"

" good solders follow order Rex" Thorn says to him stenrly

Rex look at Thorn as of late Thorn become a lot like fox a asshole  but rex snap back and look to  Qrow " Qrow listen to me were allies for now you can wait out here but you have to wait until  Ironwood come out before you can see them" he says as he try to defuse the  hole thing

 we now heard inside the room where we see Ironwood standing  near team rwby pacing around the room as he spoke " I'm sorry, but you've left us with no choice."

Yang who was sitting on a bed angrily replying  "But he attacked me!" she say  as she was next to ruby on a bed and Weiss sat with blake on the other

Ironwood pacing around the room, not looking at her carried on " Video footage and millions of viewers say otherwise."

Weiss gesturing to her teammate from the other bed " But Yang would never do that!"

Ruby standing up from beside her sister " Yeah!"

Ironwood turns around as Yang sighs and places her head in her hands " You all seem like good students, and the staff here at Beacon are fully aware that you would never lash out the way you did... under normal circumstances. " he say and continues as Ruby sits back down, the entire team looking despondent " What I believe and hope this to be is nothing more than the result of stress and adrenaline. When you're out on the battlefield, your judgment can become clouded in an instant. Sometimes you see things that simply aren't there. Even after the fight is past...  "with that last statement, he looks to the right while rolling his right shoulder 

Yang was shocked "But I wasn't-"

Ironwood angrily stern  as he look at them " That's ENOUGH! " he say when the room falls silent, he goes on "The sad truth is, whether it was an accident or an assault, it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student. They've already drawn their own conclusions. And it's my job to inform you that... you are disqualified."

Yang's shock turns into miserable understanding when she looks to the ground, and Ironwood leaves the room and when the door clicks shut they hear Qrow ripping in to Ironwood  and the two arguing , she turns to her friends " You guys believe me, right?"

Ruby look at her "Duh!"

Weiss shaking her head " You're hot headed, but not ruthless."

Yang when she realizes one of their number hasn't spoken  " Blake?"

Blake turns her gaze away, earning a shocked look between Ruby and Weiss " I want to believe you..." Blae says  but kept looking down

Ruby confused look at her " Huh!?"

Weiss look at her Dum founded "What's that supposed to mean?"

Yang eyes widening, tears forming instantly as she says in a hurt voice  "Blake?"

Weiss when Blake looks up at Yang, then back down" How can you say something like that? Yang would never lie to us!" Weiss says

Blake glances at Weiss, then takes a deep breath before starting " I had someone very dear to me change. It wasn't in an instant, it was gradual - little choices that began to pile up. He told me not to worry. At first they were accidents, then it was self-defense. Before long, even I began to think he was right. " she pauses " This is all just... very familiar. " she says as Yang looks up, tears now falling down her face " But you're not him. And you've never done anything like this before. So... I want to trust you. I will trust you. But first, I need you to look me in the eyes and tell me that he attacked you. I need you to promise me that you regret having to do what you did."

Yang wipes her eyes of tears, then says as calmly as possible " I saw him attack me, so I attacked back."

Blake lets out a deep breath as she closes her eyes and smiles, then looking back up at her partner "Okay. Thank you."

Yang still looking down " I think I'm gonna rest up."

Blake standing up with Weiss and Ruby, all of whom are smiling " We'll get out of your hair." Blake says

 we see the team head out side and saw the Clones, Qrow, ironwood and Atlas bots were now gone  and as the team leave the room ruby is last out and was closing the door, pausing only for a second to see Yang slump forward before shutting it completely. She joins Weiss and Blake in the middle of the hallway.

Weiss shaking her head and sighing " This is a mess..."

Jaune following the sound of an opening door as he peeks out of Team JNPR's room, with his team peering around the edge in concern "She doing okay?"

Blake look at him " She's doing the best she can."

Ruby holding her hands up "  I heard Mercury and his team rushed back to Haven to be with his family. So, until they land, no one can really question him about what happened."

Ren look at her "If there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask." he say

Ruby looking down " All right then. If that's the case... " she turns her gaze up again " Pyrrha?"

Pyrrha looks to the younger girl as she gets herself seated on on a bed " Hm?"

Ruby holding her clenched hands up as she tries to put on a grin "You be sure to win one for Beacon, okay?" she say

Weiss nodding as she and Blake also smile sadly " It's what Yang would want." weiss says

Pyrrha turns her head away before coming back with her attempt at a confident look "I'll... do my best." she say

Ruby excitedly spoke " I'll be sure to watch tonight in case you're picked!"

Pyrrha's smile dips down into worry as she looks away. as Blake spoke "Sorry but, I think I've had enough fighting for one year."

Weiss nodding once " Ditto. " she say as a  moment passes before she says "Coffee?" to blake

Blake smiled "  Tea."

The three members of RWBY walk down the hall, and Jaune only closes the door when he sees Ruby disappear behind the corner. Pyrrha continues to look forlorn, until...

Nora suddenly getting up in Pyrrha's surprised face, grinning madly " You heard the lady! No more moping around! " she says and backs away to the other side of the room, now clad in pink workout clothes and sweatbands, as she points to Pyrrha" We gotta get your butt in shape for the big fight! " she starts doing random exercises - running in place, pushups, jumping jacks - while she speaks "It could be today, it could be tomorrow, it could be the most important fight of your entire life! " she culminates this demonstration by lifting a barbell tipped with 1000 pound weights on each end, holding it in the air and sweating profusely before falling backwards 

Pyrrha smiling a little in bewilderment "Um..."

Ren from another part of the room " Nora's right."  he say as  Pyrrha looks to him in his pink apron reading "PLEASE DO NOTHING TO THE COOK" "You can't let your concern for Yang hold you back. You need to focus. You'll be defending the honor of Beacon Academy." he say 

Pyrrha nodding " Of course. I-"

Ren: cuts her off as he holds a glass filled with a green liquid making bubbling noises in front of her face"  This blend of herbs and vegetables is filled with nutrients vital to your body's well-being."

Pyrrha look up" Oh, that's-"

Ren stepping away, smiling " Please, there's no need to thank me."

Nora looking at her partner with a disgusted face"  Thank you? Ugh, that looks like slime from a lakebed!"

Ren turns away from her, cradling his creation " Algae contains numerous spectacular properties. See for yourself." he say and lifts it towards her mouth 

Nora sips it down and immediately regrets it, face turning the same sickly green as the healthy sludge" she say  BLEGH! "she goes straight over to the waste basket and dunks her head in, getting all of the liquid out while continuing to make disgusted noises until she turns back around to Ren "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? Ugh..." she ask

Ren gesturing " Me? You're the one that wasted perfectly good juice."

Nora look at him "We're supposed to help Pyrrha, not poison her!"

Ren sighed "There was absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Nora hands on her hips as she resolutely states " If it looks the same coming up as it does going down, then there's something wrong!"

Neither of them notice Pyrrha's smile at their antics fade once more, though their leader does from the doorway as jaune coming over and placing a hand on their shoulders  "Hey, how about we all get some fresh air" he ask as Pyrrha looks up at Jaune, who grins at his troubled friend. with this the two leave the room they spend the next hour or two walking around beacon before stopping at the dinner hall as jaune went to grab some thing for them to eart or drink Pyrrha sits down along waiting for her she had her head bowed as the wind rises. She sees the air blow a single orange leaf onto the cobblestones at her feet, and she looks at the fall colors with a face of total fright, remembering the sight of Amber in her comatose state and the choice weighing her down.

Jaune cutting her flashback spoke " hey pyrrha" he says as he walks over as he see Pyrrha turns her head up to see her smiling friend with a large cone of cotton candy "I-It's no green goop, but I think it still might do some good."

Pyrrha stares at the offered treat while she comes back to the real world before hesitantly taking it "Um, right. Thank you, Jaune."

Jaune's beam fades as he sees her still-tormented face, and looks to the far end of the building as Nora and Ren come around, the latter carrying a cotton candy, a tub of popcorn, and a drink to sip on and Nora knowing what's happening right as she sees it and gesturing to her distracted friend "Uh... come on, Ren. Let's go back to the fairgrounds. I'll win you another stuffed animal."  she say as she drags him away from Jaune and Pyrrha's private scene 

Jaune looks back to Pyrrha and takes a seat next to her " You were the first person to ever believe in me, you know that? " he ask as he manages to get her to look at him as he laughs in sadness to himself " Even when I told my parents I was going to Beacon, they told me not to worry if I ended up having to move back home. How depressing is that?"

 "I'm sure they didn't mean- " Pyrrha sorrow becomes surprise, eyes widening and dropping the pink fluffy snack as she realizes Jaune's hand is placed upon hers 

  " i  guess... I'm just trying to say that... you've always been there for me... even when I didn't deserve it. And I can tell there's something on your mind, so... I don't know. How can I help?" Jaune ask her worried about his friend

 Pyrrha  as her astonishment melts away into contentment, she leans over and places her head in a startled Jaune's shoulder, closing her eyes " You're already doing it." she says as Jaune quickly matches Pyrrha's smile with his own, and the two stay there for a long moment, but as an additional autumn leaf joins the first, Pyrrha's expression darkens once more as Pyrrha  spoke "Jaune... " she gets up from her nestling 

 "Hmm? " Jaune ask wondering

 Pyrrha suddenly takes her hand out from his, looking away " I don't know what to do."

  "W-What do you mean?" jaune ask confused

 Pyrrha  glances up as she wonders what to say "Do you believe in destiny?"

 "Um... I-I don't know. I guess that depends on how you view it." jaune ask taken back 

 Pyrrha explains her opinion as the wind blows the two leaves away " When I think of destiny, I don't think of a predetermined fate you can't escape. But rather... some sort of final goal, something you work towards your entire life."

  "Okay. Uh, yeah. I can see that, sure." Jaune  says

 Pyrrha  struggling to find the right words as she glances at him " Well... what would you do if something came along that you... never expected? Something that had the potential to stand between you and your destiny?"

  "Like what?" jaune ask

Pyrrha barrelling on in stress " Or what if you could suddenly fulfill your destiny in an instant, but at the cost of who you were?"

Jaune leaning over and attempting to place his hand on her shoulder "Pyrrha, you're not making any sense."

 Pyrrha  standing up away from his touch, holding herself as if on the verge of tears " None of it makes sense! This isn't how things were supposed to happen!" 

Jaune gets up as well, spreading his arms in confusion " I'm sorry! Please, I-I'm just trying to understand what's wrong."

  "I've always felt as though I was destined to become a Huntress - to protect the world... " Pyrrha  sighed "and it's become increasingly clear to me that my feelings were right. But... " she turns to look at Jaune " ...I don't know if I can do it."

 "Of course you can. The Pyrrha Nikos I know would never back down from a challenge. And if you really believe it's your destiny to save the world... " jaune moves towards her, confident in his answer " you can't let anything stand in your way." he say and despite Jaune's intentions, this doesn't bring relief. Instead, Pyrrha looks absolutely shattered, covering her mouth as she begins to sob.

Jaune realizing his mistake " Pyrrha?"

Pyrrha turning away, face still in her hands " Stop..."

Jaune continuing to approach " Did I say something wrong?"

 "STOP!" Pyrrha yelled as  She holds her hand out, a black energy surrounding it as she unintentionally uses her Semblance to push Jaune's armor and its wearer into the dining hall column. He weakly watches her from his spot above until she opens her eyes and realizes what she's done "  Jaune! " Pyrrha  says as she lowers her hand and lets him fall to the ground, finally letting the tears come as he looks up" I'm... I'm sorry..."

 "Pyrrha, wait! " jaune outstretched arm does nothing to stop her from running away, and he faces the ground, cotton candy still discarded beside him " What did I say?" he wonder

.

.

we skip to a hour or 2 later at the cliffside docking bays down the main alleyway and under the floating Amity Colosseum, Ruby walks up to the end of the line waiting to get in the transport up to the arena. She turns her head to see Brawnz Ni and Nolan Porfirio talking outside the line, and beyond that, Sun Wukong walking away, Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang over his shoulder, with a familiar rabbit Faunus snapping photos of him. Ruby steps out of line and approaches her from behind as she continues taking pictures with her camera until she notices who's behind her.

Velvet turning around  "Ruby, how you going?" she ask

Ruby raising a hand in greeting spoke " Hi, Velvet! What're you up to?"

Velvet rolling her eyes happily" Oh, you know. Just working on my photography. Do you wanna see?" she offers her camera to Ruby, looking extremely delighted. Ruby immediately notices that Velvet didn't even get all of Sun in her picture, cutting out his head and feet 

 "That's... better. " ruby says as she steps away as she grins in forced approval

Velvet decides to ask in concern " I'm... sorry to hear about your sister. Is she doing okay?"

Ruby looking away " Yeah, she's fine, heh. Thanks."

Velvet as she puts Anesidora away in the box on her back " I think it's just awful what people are saying about her. Yang's such a nice person."

Ruby laughs a little as she rubs the back of her head "Well, I'm glad someone thinks so."

Velvet shaking her head, arms crossed "Most people don't know what it's like on the battlefield. I mean, even experienced fighters can get scared and start seeing things. If it happened to Coco, it can happen to anyone."

Ruby cocking her head to the side " Coco?"

Velvet nods "  Yeah. She swore she saw Yatsu with her in the forest during the fight with Emerald and Mercury, but he never even made it out of the geyser fields. Stress-induced hallucinations, apparently."

  "Yeah... " ruby turns her head away in thought, only to look back at Velvet after a quick flash startles her 

Velvet lowering the camera from her face, smiling apologetically " Oh! Sorry."

Back in the Colosseum, people are back in the stands cheering and ready for entertainment as Ruby descends down the steps to an open seat. Despite everything that's happened, she's smiling widely, looking around at the assembled crowds... until her stupefied eyes see a familiar, glaring face on the other side of the arena as she saw Emerald's sitting with others in the arena "Emerald's... here?" Ruby ask confused as if sensing she's being watched, Emerald leans forward to glare at Ruby, who suddenly gets up with a worried expression and runs towards the exit tunnel. Checking to see if no one's around, she enters a door labeled with a yellow maintenance sign and finds herself inside of the Colosseum. She walks forward with determination as the announcers' voices are heard, muffled behind the brick walls.

Oobleck voice soon spoke " All right, it's now time to begin the randomization process for our next fight!"

The sound of the roulette is heard faintly, but what makes Ruby stop in her tracks is the sight of another unexpected "friend" stepping out from a nearby tunnel, completely unharmed and definitely not going home.

Ruby squinting as if making sure  "Mercury?" she say 

Port spoke next over the speakers " It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina from Atlas... and her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!"

Ruby her attention goes from the broadcast to the fraud "What are you doing?" she ask before she hired what port said and her head dips in thought until she realizes the awful truth"No..."

Mercury putting a hand to his chin " Ooh, polarity versus metal. That could be bad." he say

Ruby glares at her new opponent, reaching back to grab Crescent Rose, only to remember she doesn't have it on her. Mercury simply grins maliciously and sets himself up in a fighting pose.

.

.

Outside, the arena's center is lifting back into the air, and an oblivious Penny is grinning wildly, with her fellow redhead Nora cheering excitedly from the stands, even getting Ren to let out a reluctant "Yaaay..."  

Down in the arena of Amity Colosseum, Pyrrha is still looking hesitant and distracted while Penny politely salutes her opponent.

Penny hands on her hips in excitement " Sal-u-tations, Pyrrha Nikos! It's an honor to finally meet you!" she say as the troubled Pyrrha doesn't respond, looking at her hands as she clenches them in attempted determinatio as Penny not noticing Pyrrha's reluctance " This is going to be so much fun!"

.

.

In the same structure behind closed doors, Ruby Rose is still facing down an up-and-standing Mercury Black, who's smugly smiling at the younger girl's confusion as ruby spoke "Mercury, what are you doing? You were hurt! Why... " she narrows her eyes in suspicion" What's going on?" she ask as Mercury doesn't answer, still grinning with malice " Fine. If you're not going to tell me..." she attempts to move around him, but he blocks her path, then does it again when she sidesteps

Oobleck over the announcement system to draw Ruby's attention away " Fighters, are you ready?" he ask as Mercury smirks at ruby.

.

.

Penny beams widely in anticipation, but Pyrrha is still looking around as if in a daze, though she manages a small scowl at her opponent, her weapons Miló and Akoúo̱ already in hand.

Oobleck counting down as General James Ironwood calmly sits to observe the fight, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren cheer for their teammate while Jaune Arc simply watches anxiously, and Emerald Sustrai leans forward with a glare" 3, 2, 1... " Oobleck leans forward " BEGIN!"

Suddenly, Penny is surrounded by Floating Array, gesturing the swords around to her command before launching a volley of them at Pyrrha, who runs towards them and leaps though or deflects each aimed blade. The swords fly into the air until they turn around and come back to the fight.

.

.

back with ruby

Mercury looking back at Ruby " Showtime." he says as  He goes forward, blocking Ruby's path with his arms outstretched, restraining her movements no matter where she moves. Panicked, she grimaces and spins forward, becoming a blur of red and petals rocketing toward Mercury, only for the villain to kick her twice mid-dash with Talaria and knock her to the ground. He advances on her just as she gets out her Scroll, about to push the button to call for help when a bullet sends the device flying out of her hand.

Mercury lowering his leg from its kick " Let's just keep this between us friends." ( he moves towards her

.

.

Pyrrha, now having returned the shield to her back, twirls the javelin to block each sword swipe of Penny's, dropping her weapon when she needs to somersault away after being hit by a slash, only to magnetically return it to her hand as Penny readies another wave of blades.

Port spoke up "My word! What a tremendous display by Miss Polendina!"

Fully glowering, Pyrrha rushes forward and jumps on an incoming sword, swinging down on Penny, only to have the assault halted by a collection of blades, though she leaps away from the retaliatory slice as Penny backs away as well. She tries to defend against the multitude of swords with the length of her weapon, but is forced back regardless, prompting Pyrrha to roll the shield from her back onto her arm with her polarity.

Nora cheering with her arms wide alongside a fist-pumping Ren and worried Jaune " Whoo, yeah! Goooo Pyrrha!"

Despite the cheers, Pyrrha isn't doing well, looking down to see her Semblance's black energy bend the weapons in her hands unnaturally for a split second. Emerald narrows her gaze further, continuing to concentrate on Pyrrha.

.

.

Ruby attempts to block a kick from Mercury with her arms, but gets a face-full of boot. Next he fires a shot but she manages to duck then barely misses being hit by his downward kick and leaps over his leg, spiraling past him, this time getting much father down the corridor. She kicks off of the wall and falls to the ground, pumping her arms as she runs for the exit.

.

.

Pyrrha spins wildly as she deflects and dodges each sword, until she gets close enough to Penny to deliver a few slashes with the spear, sending her flying back as Pyrrha bats aside the blades called to their wielder's aid. Penny slides to a stop and makes a new series of motions, the weapons folding up until she's circled by several laser rifles, a few of which open fire on the approaching champion. Pyrrha avoids the blasts and fights off the remaining swords with her blade until she slides into position to charge at Penny and knock her back. Pyrrha straightens with a victorious grin that disappears into dizziness, just as she sees Penny rocketing forward, weapons firing behind her like a jetpack so she can leap into the air, then come down as an energized meteor on her opponent.

Rolling back to her feet, Pyrrha doesn't expect a sword to knock her shield off, then another to do the same for her blade. She tries to get the latter back with her magnetism, but has to use the power to send a flying sword back at Penny's side. It disappears behind Penny, only for her to grin and raise her arms as several appear above her, aimed to strike.

With Emerald still squinting down on the arena, the sharp sound of Emerald's Semblance is heard as Penny's eight swords double, then triple, multiplying into an unreal thicket of blades. At the sight of this, Pyrrha unsteadily steps back, both in reality where the eight swords are ready to go forth and in the hallucinated world, where the cloud of weapons thicken to even block the crowds around her.

Penny sends them all forward, few in reality and hundreds strong in Pyrrha's mind, who is left with no choice but to spread her arms and send out a magnetized shockwave. Each blade is sent reeling back to Penny, who is also unintentionally affected by the Semblance attack clutching her chest in pain. Pyrrha only has a brief moment to understand what's happening before Penny's arms are spread wide as she gasps, the strings attached to her own weapons curling around her left arm and midsection, which are crumpled by the force with the ease of an aluminum can.

There is a moment of darkness, cut by the wire slicing through the electronics in Penny's torso to reveal a shocked Pyrrha, and the entire stadium watching the now unmoving swords drop to the ground. A piece of fabric flutters to the arena floor, only to be pinned by the point of a falling blade, away from the torn halves of Penny Polendina.

Pyrrha stares in abject horror, eyes wide and mouth agape.

Ports traightening in shock at the revelation alongside Oobleck, and with Ozpin standing up from his chair back at Beacon" No!" he say

While the remains of Penny's missing arm spark with electricity from the exposed wiring inside, her big green irises, now looking like camera shutters, slowly expand so her dark, lifeless pupils take up most of her eyes with the sound of a machine shutting down.

In an Atlas laboratory, a balding white-bearded man watches the live footage on the news, his hand gripping the armrest of his chair tightly. The crowds are still terrified by the sight, 

.

.

miles away in Mountain Glenn, Grimm of all kinds turn toward the Colosseum, and begin to charge to beacon and the Atlas base at Mountain Glenn

inside the base Cody and Jet had saw the hole thing from the command center until they hear a roar and sounds of grimm " what was that " cody ask wondering

jet went to speak when the door burst open a Atlas officer a female ran in" commanders were under attack" she yelled pointing to the windiw

out side Grimm  of all kind were seen heading to vale why others head to the base as Cody stood up" battle stations" he yell as clones rush around getting ready for battle

.

.

Finally, Ruby turns a corner and emerges from the service tunnel, only to see with her own eyes that she is far too late as ruby (falling to her knees"Penny... "she begins to cry, the tears fall as she sobs miserably 

The levitating arena is lowered back into place under the spotlights, and Mercury appears behind the weeping Ruby, grinning widely at his success in delaying her before stepping back into the Colosseum's maintenance area. Ruby tenses slightly as she hears his footsteps, but slumps forward once again as the door noisily swings shut.

Oobleck putting a hand up to his ear " Broadcast, what are you doing? Kill the feed!" he ask

Broadcast Op over the earpiece " Something's wrong! We don't have control of the cameras! We can't even stop the broadcast!"

Oobleck shocked spoke " What!? How is that possible!?"

In answer, the background behind the two teachers changes to the video feed of the sight before them, tinted an ominous bright red with a black queen chess piece hovering over the scene. They turn back to the arena as a familiar voice rings out throughout the Colosseum and the rest of the world watching these events.

all over the radios or tv all over remnant Cinder voice is hired as the audience member look uneasy as cinder spoke "  This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians," she ask as several audience members look uneasy, while Jaune is seen mouth agape in shock "but are, in reality, nothing more than men." seen standing on a rooftop, speaking into her Scroll  "Our Academies' Headmasters wield more power than most armies, and one was audacious enough to control both." Ironwood, realizing who she's talking about, grimaces and rises from his seat, marching up the steps. "They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet, what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army, mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference."

Pyrrha continues to stare at the remains of Penny in dread and guilt. Lips parting as she raises a hand to cover her mouth. Then her eyes start watering, a single tear falling. Back in the fairgrounds, a gaping Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna watch the hacked screen of the Shopkeep's stall. The owner and several others including Roy Stallion are gathered nearby. Blake's expression becomes a glare as the speech continues.

Cinder carries on speaking "And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First a dismemberment, now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy, yet I have witnessed neither." The two teammates share a look before the last member of RWBY, Yang Xiao Long, is seen hunching over her windowsill listening to the speech before she straightens and turns as Zwei barks behind her. "Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the Tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets. Or perhaps this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unsuspecting kingdom with armed forces. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong. But I know the existence of peace is fragile, and the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves."

Ozpin watches the screen intently, The Long Memory at his side and Atlesian Airships hovering beyond his window. Amid the silence over the Colosseum as they absorb the revolutionary words, no one notices Emerald exit the stadium. Cinder carried on speaking "As someone who hails from Mistral, I can assure you the situation there is... equally undesirable. Our Kingdoms are on the brink of war, yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark." few changes to the inside of a gunship where Ghira and Kali were on a gunship heading with there clone escort to ironwood venator the Iron hand all watching the scroll of what happen shock and horrified as we then see the few change again  this time to Winter who in vale alone  and saw the  hole thing on the tv,  before  the few changes again to Rex, Echo, Fives and a few 501st  near a area at Beacon  shocked at what they saw before we change fews again as we see Thorn along with a few shock trooper with a few White fang guards and Sienna near Sienna shuttle as she was getting ready to head home to talk to the white fang after the peace talks had finished 

Two blue Atlas Soldiers watch the message on their Scroll, not noticing the wave of Grimm coming out of the mist shrouded treeline until they hear growling. Both turn and open fire the best they can, shooting down a few. But many more rush past them with Cinder's voice still stirring up trouble from her position with a malevolent smile.

"So I ask you: When the first shots are fired... who do you think you can trust?" Cinder ask as her voice finished

In the Colosseum, the screens cut from red and black to complete static as Oobleck turned to port "The feeds are all jammed! We can't get a message out!"

Port: (to the people working behind the scenes) Will somebody tell me what in the world is happening!?

The question is answered with the sound of a wailing alarm throughout the structure, with humans and Faunus and even a Henchman holding a tub of popcorn looking up in alarm at the orange flashing screens reading "CAUTION".

Warning Announcer: "Alert. Incoming Grimm attack. Threat level: Nine. Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner."

The crowds begin to flee, wild and screaming, through the exit tunnels, while Ironwood enters the announcers' box and grabs the microphone from between Port and Oobleck "Ladies and gentlemen, please. There is no need for panic." Ironwood says

With that said, a Giant Nevermore appears atop the arena's domed force field, giving a series of deafening screeches as it claws and pecks at the defense with its beak as sun standing up in alarm along with Coco Adel " A Nevermore!?"

Coco  lowering her sunglasses" How did it get past the Kingdom's defenses!?"

Ren rising up beside them "it wasn't alone."

In the headmaster's office, Ozpin is gripping his cane tight, watching the city come under attack with a horrified expression as Qrow running in with Glynda Goodwitch " Oz!"

Ozpin turning to them " Get to the city!" he yell

Qrow shocked spoke "But-"

Ozpin resolutely now stood up as he slam his hand on the desk " NOW!"

Qrow and Glynda exchange a look before going back the way they came. Meanwhile, Mountain Glenn is almost silent, as every monster lurking there from Beowolves to Boarbatusks, Ursai and Nevermores, and even lumbering Goliaths with wide red eyes rush forward why back at the Colosseum Ironwood watching the Nevermore attack the shields until he answers his Scroll, stammering "Ozpin, the girl... I-I can explain!"

Ozpin gravely spoke " You brought your army to my Kingdom, James. " he stop a beat passed , then angrily " Use it." he say as Ironwood's worry turns to determination as he bark out order on his scroll

out side in the skys Ironwood fleet of ships made up of 3 to 4 Atlas air ship including his old airship along with Ironwood Venator the Iron hand, Winter acclamator the Prosecutor along side another acclamator and 3 Consular-class cruiser are being attacked by even more giant Nevermores though to minimal effect as they land on ship and try to ripe in  but the Venator fired it weapons with the rest of the fleet as z95 head hunters, ARC 170 and y wing that were on patrol fly around shooting down grimm best they could why inside the Iron hand  Soldiers and clone inside are scrambling to enter commands inside the bridge around their commanding officer as the alarm blair 

( made the art my self)

the officer and captain on the ironhand spoke "Dammit! "he say speaking into his Scroll as he turns to the screen of data "This is Ironhand! Blues Two and Three, fall into defensive position!"

Blue Three over the Scroll " Roger! Blue Three, in position!"

Atlas Ship Captain then  wait but hired nothing as he spoke " Blue Two, what's your status? "he ask no response " Blue Two, come in! Someone answer me, dammit!"

He doesn't know that the bridge of the last ship is wrecked, computers sparking and men and clones down as a pair of high boots walk through the destruction. Dressed in an Atlas uniform and holding both Hush and Melodic Cudgel with a feathered hat on top, Neopolitan opens the door of a familiar-looking cell with a devious grin as Roman spoke "Well... it's about time..." he leans out of the shadows and into the light 

we cut to outside the fleet is  forming up, where the furthest craft witch is a atlas air ship suddenly turns towards its allies and fires several bright red lasers  fist at the 3 Consular-class cruiser as it hit one taking it out making it crash head fist down to the water alone why the 2nd cut a 2nd Consular-class cruiser in half why the 3ed is hit and taken heavy damage and start to crash  sparks and fire coming off of it  before it aime again fireing at the other 2 atlas air ships  as it fired at the lead ship at engine of the one closest to it taking it out making  as the captain of that ship spoke it was a clone officer "We're hit! What's going-" before he can finish speaking the flaming ship crashes into another in a series of explosions and sends both of them tumbling toward the waters below

( made the art my self)

 Roman laughing manically at the controls as Neo watches from the side " Woo-hoohahahaha! Oohh, it is good to be back!" he yell

out side we see the gunship carrying Ghira and Kali land in the hanger before our few changes to the command deck where a officer look at the captain " sir  radar contact"

" more grimm" the captain ask shocked as he turn to face the officer " no sir we got" before he can finish the ship shakes as out side vulture droids were flying around attacking the y wing, z95 head hunters and ARC 170 why droid Hyena-class bomber attack the 3 ships dropping bombs on them as it was a full scale attack why stolen bullheads fly past heading for beacon as the captain gasp"  DROIDS HOW" He yell  sins it was thought they been whipped out at the battle of Mountain Glenn, Grimm a few months a go

" unknown sir but there transport filled with  solders there going to attack the school"

The captain look at him"  launch all fighters, dispatch the rest of the 501st and shock trooper to the  ground we need to protect the city and school " he says as the officer nods it was going to be tough

A growling Ursa jumps from it and lands on Academy grounds as Adam look at the clone fighting
