*Destroyed Fall Knight Hideout; October 11, 2018; 10:00 PM*

Ruby looked up at Arabus in fury, spinning Crescent Rose in a flourish before leaping up and attacking.

Arabus managed to get a small scrape from Ruby's attack, but was left screaming in agony as the wound poured out shadow.

"Is she doing damage?!" Ultimus gaped.

Ruby raised the scythe above her head in rage. Using the recoil of the sniper-scythe, she hacked and slashed Arabus relentlessly, the monster letting out audible cries of pain when the Silver Eye magic even touched him.

"How the hell is she doing that! We've been attacking this thing for the past 15 minutes and we haven't made so much as a scratch!" Neo gaped as Ruby kept attacking.

Eventually, Arabus worked out the strength to fight back, firing the same attack that felled Rarity moments earlier.

"Ruby!!" Yang screamed in terror.

Arabus' attack merely bounced off her aura like it was nothing.

Arabus looked on in horror, before scowling and screaming in childish rage to the skies.

"DAMN IT!! THERE'S NO WAY I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS MUCH DAMAGE!!!" Arabus roared in fury.

Ruby smirked.

"That's what you get for killing my friends!" Ruby looked down at the monster, who was wounded and spilling shadow from his many wounds.

Arabus shook with rage, and his horn suddenly filled with dark magic.

"I WILL SEND YOU AND EVERYONE HERE TO THE SAME PLACE!!!! NOW DIE!!"

His horn shot a massive pulse of dark magic at the group, with several staring in horror.

Alex fired a pulse of electricity that was quickly becoming overpowered by the attack.

"Bounce it back!!" He ordered the others as Twilight joined in.

Celestia and Luna were also quick to add their magic to the counterattack, as was Cade.

"Concentrate!! We can do this..!" Cade struggled.

Ultimus fired his own attack that mixed in with the others' beam.

"Saigo Emphas is my kill!! Nothing is going to stop me from taking his life... NOT EVEN YOU!!!" Ultimus roared.

Neo stared on at the struggle. She couldn't believe how quick everyone was to rally behind him and the red-cloaked huntress.

"Neo, hurry up..!" Ultimus demanded.

"Are you insane?! Alex isn't going to let us go after something like this!" Neo retorted.

"Dammit Neo, now's not the time!!" Alex indignantly yelled.

Yang stumbled into Alex's shoulder, powering up to a mere Enlightened Warrior before adding her own attack into the mix.

"I won't let you hurt Ruby or anyone else!!" Yang screamed.

Neo finally sighed. She had enough of Arabus threatening their lives. Besides, who would be next to die after them?

She stepped to Celestia's side, adding her own beam to the now multicolored attack.

Twilight, Pinkie, and Fluttershy suddenly started to glow.

"Our Elements.. What's going on..?" Fluttershy wondered.

"They're... They're choosing new Bearers..!" Twilight realized as the Elemental Stones from Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity's corpses hovered in the air.

Rainbow's stone shifted from the original lightning bolt to Yang's symbol before merging with the huntress and enhancing her attack.

"What the hell was that?!" Yang gasped as she looked down. The element had attached itself to her metal arm.

"I'm not hallucinating from exhaustion, am I?" Cade muttered as his mother's arm started to glow.

"Y-Yang... You're an Element now?!" Blake almost dropped Gambol Shroud in surprise.

"Is Destoyer even trying anymore?!" Neo groaned out loud as the Element of Honesty fused with her.

Rarity's former Element darted left and right, trying to find someone ready to take the mantle.

Kat grabbed her sniper and loaded in Lux Rounds, ammunition that was laced with light magic. She fired at the monster, quickly weakening Arabus' attack.

Weiss and Blake just kept shooting at Arabus, trying to weaken the attack as well.

"Come on..! Have.. To.. Save them..!" Kat put her shoulder back in it's place once she reloaded and quickly got back to shooting.

The element flew over to Kat, fusing with her right glove as she suddenly let out her own beam of energy.

The new Elements' attacks quickly fused together, turning into a rainbow that attacked Arabus from above.

Arabus fired a second beam at both attacks, trying to hold both back at the same time.

Ruby knew what she had to do.

She flew down to Yang, who was the closest element, and Alex, placing a hand on both of their shoulders.

A white glow emanated from both attacks, managing to successfully overwhelm anything Arabus could throw at them.

"DAMN YOU, HUNTRESS!!!!" Arabus yelled as both attacks quickly took their toll on him and he simply evaporated.

Eventually, their attacks slowed down to nothing, with everyone exhausted and powered down.

"Is.. Is he dead..?" Alex panted.

"Yeah.., I think so.." Yang nodded.

"C-Can't sense his presence.. He's gone.." Ultimus confirmed.

Kat staggered downward, barely standing while holding onto a small pile of rubble.

"S-Serves him... Serves him right..." Kat smirked before collapsing.

"N-Need to call... Liss... Medics..." Cade panted.

"How are they holding up... Anyways..?" Alex wondered.

*Meanwhile*

Vanoss and Liss were backed into a corner with Cinder in front of them.

"Okay, look. You're pissed. I get that. Let's make a deal.. What do you want, my Diamond Play button?" Vanoss asked.

"No." Cinder replied as she raised a hand, a ball of multicolored energy pulsating at her palm.

"Oh, crap." Vanoss sweatdropped, this isn't how he thought he'd go.

"Hey! You overpowered psycho!" A girl's voice yelled behind Cinder

"Oh, Salem dammit." Cinder groaned.

Suddenly, Cinder was attacked by two girls, one wielding an Axe-like guitar, and the other holding a metallic viola. Both instruments hit her at once, slamming her into a building.

"What?!" Vanoss gaped.

"Oh, great.. I'm dealing with them now." Liss groaned.

"You know them?" Vanoss asked.

"I know a lot of people." Liss nodded.

Cinder staggered up from the rubble.

"You two again?!" Cinder moaned in exasperation.

"Look, let's make this quick. We're in a crowded city and I really don't want to ruin anyone's late night commute." The viola-wielder, the Faunus girl with black and white hair, shrugged.

Cinder herself was mildly annoyed.

"Yeah. Let's keep it short." Cinder nodded as she flew upwards and fired hundreds of energy shots at the two, who were quick to either dodge or bounce them back.

The three took their fight to the skies, ricocheting off of buildings and striking when they were able.

Eventually, the Axe-wielder raised the axe upwards above Cinder, who was more focused on the Faunus, and hacked at Cinder's arm, blood and energy gushed from the wound.

"Oh, shit!" Vanoss yelled in surprise. How the hell were these normies even doing any damage?

Cinder dropped down, clutching her arm.

"You've gotten a bit more clever since we last fought." Cinder smiled in spite of her wound.

"So..?" The Faunus wondered.

Cinder raised one of her swords at the Faunus, with the other girl quick to uppercut Cinder with the guitar-axe.

The Faunus quickly jumped on the other's guitar strings, propelling her upwards and hacking away as the two landed on the ground.

The two ran at Cinder with everything they had, quickly using both instruments to slam Cinder through several buildings.

By the time Cinder got back, she was holding a wound, walked with a limp, and her arm and shoulder now was bleeding like crazy. The most disconcerting part was the wicked smile.

"I'm going to be honest with you. You're actually the first people to actually do this much damage. I was actually starting to get bored in our old timeline, so maybe here, I'll have a bit more fun... Until then, I'm going to go put my cult back together. You go run home to mommy and we'll put a pin in this." Cinder chuckled psychotically.

"Something's seriously wrong with you. Just... Just go." The Faunus huntress shooed her away in contempt.

Cinder grabbed a small stone, crushing it in her other hand and teleporting away.

"Until next time, Ms. Delsole, Ms. Xiao Long." Cinder said as she disappeared.

Vanoss ran up to he scene, where the two huntresses just stared at him.

"...Dafuq just happened?" Vanoss suddenly asked.

"Let's face it, you've seen weirder things by now, right?" The black-and-white haired Faunus replied.

"Yeah, good point. So, what're you two doing here?" Vanoss wondered.

"We're looking for someone., have you seen a guy with a scar across his face, about this tall-" The Faunus asked curiously.

"You're with Cade..? Alright, who're you related to?" Vanoss face-palmed, interrupting her.

"Er... We'll explain later.. Right now, we need to know where he is." She answered.

"He's with Alex and Yang and a bunch of other people. They'll be in a burnt clearing just up ahead from the Military Base and in the mountains. I can get you there." Vanoss nodded.

"Do you have medical supplies?" The second huntress asked.

"We'll get them to a doctor or some shit." Vanoss shrugged.

"Thanks!" The Faunus smiled.

"Wildcat, these two girls just asked for Cade and the others, I'm flying them in." Vanoss called and told Wildcat, who was busy helping the cops sort the mess out.

"I don't give a f**k, bitch." Wildcat told him.

"Just letting you know so you guys don't get all pissy if I'm not back soon enough." Vanoss retorted.

"F**k you." Wildcat hung up.

"Alright. Let's go." Vanoss rolled his eyes and left with Liss and the other two huntresses.

This was going to be a long couple of hours.

*Yang's Apartment; Los Santos, San Andreas; October 16, 2018; 12:10 AM*

Alex and Yang returned to their Apartment moments ago, with both completely exhausted.

"Damn... I knew Arabus was going to be a pain but holy shit." Alex muttered, twisting off one one his mechanical arms.

"I know, I still can't believe Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow are dead.." Yang shook her head, still in utter disbelief.

"Yang.. We have to talk about this... All of this.." Alex exhaustedly muttered, twisting on a different, more lifelike appendage.

"Okay. What's on your mind..?" Yang wondered.

"Before everything that happened, I was sure it would be just like before, but with three of our friends gone... I don't know if I can say the same.. And I feel like it's my fault.." Alex sighed mournfully.

"Don't say that. We were doing our duty as Huntsmen, shit like this was going to happen eventually." Yang replied with a stern tone.

"This was hardly a hunter's job, this was merc work. No way around it. I put all of you in danger because I was still pissed off. And where did it get us?" Alex asked, turning to Yang.

"You said it yourself. This wasn't any different from two years ago. This group of Inquisitors just got desperate. Because of it, we have two defectors who can help us." Yang assured.

"Ultimus is really just there to kill me once this is all over. And Neo? I can't even tell what the f**k Neo's in it for." Alex shook his head.

"You're just scared, just like you were when we first met. They'll come around." Yang promised.

"Wish I could believe that, but.." Alex muttered, cradling his head in his hands.

"Hey, come here.. We'll get through this, just like we did before. You're still the same headstrong idiot I fell for." Yang smiled, sitting at Alex's side and grabbing his shoulder.

"That's putting it a bit lightly." Alex smirked.

"There you are! Now I know you'll get us through anything in front of us. Just have a little faith." Yang told him.

"Heh.. Right.. What about Cade and those other girls?" Alex asked.

"What, worried about Cade getting a girlfriend already?" Yang smirked.

"Please, as far as I'm concerned, Cade's older than me. He can do what he wants, after all, he was properly raised." Alex smiled at Yang.

"Aww. Anyways, that other girl kind of looked like me, right?" Yang asked him.

"Yeah.. Almost like a carbon copy. And that other one who was talking to Neo looks kind of like if Blake and Liss fused." Alex commented.

"Holy crap, you're right!" Yang laughed a little bit.

"I guess we'll ask them all about it later. For now, what should we do?" Alex wondered.

"I might have a few ideas.." Yang smiled, taking off her jacket.

"What're you- oh." Alex realized.

"I just remembered, we haven't had a lot of time alone.. And I think after a night like tonight, we deserve a break." Yang cooed, massaging his spiky, dark blonde hair.

"I need an adult." Alex muttered.

"I am an adult." Yang winked.

*Meanwhile*

Neo, the Faunus girl, and Ultimus were walking by the Ammunation near the helipad when the lights started flickering.

"Damn, the city's lighting system is horrible." Neo muttered.

"Yeah, I wonder what's going on. I don't remember hitting a power line or anything.." The Faunus girl continued.

Ultimus, all the while, had a look of disgust on his face.

"What's up with you?" Neo asked.

"When Adenienites get 'friendly', they can't control their power output. Electrical systems on Adenien usually compensate for this, but considering how low-tech this 'San Andreas' is, they won't have anything like that." Ultimus explained, obviously sickened.

"Ew.." Neo cringed.

"Calm down, keeping in mind how the power fluctuation isn't too severe, I'd guess Saigo has just moved to-" Ultimus added.

"STOP!!" the Faunus girl shouted, covering her ears.

Author's Notes:

Yeah... Not sure what to put here besides...

I regret nothing.

FYI, I'll be kinda busy, so chapters are going to have to wait a while.

Until next time!
