Outer Walls of Lithia, Adenien; January 17, 2020; 9:25 PM*

In a secluded area of the Outer Wall, a portal had suddenly appeared, very much unlike the other portals that had been appearing, since this new portal was a purple color rather than an orange one. Cade, Ruby, Vanoss, and Ultimus had been sent to investigate.

"I really hope those Ryders weren't just screwing with us." Cade said.

"Ryders are more serious than to drag us over here for nothing." Ultimus figured.

"I just hope nothing new shows up." Ruby sighed.

"Hey, Alex is finally dead, so why would Yang want to come after you, anyways?" Vanoss asked.

"Hold on, Portal's right here..!" Cade ducked, watching as seven men walked out of the portal.

"You're sure they're here?" A familiar voice, Mini Ladd's, asked.

"No fucking way." Vanoss blinked.

"It... Can't be, can it..?" Ruby gasped.

"You sure they're over here?" Wildcat asked.

"They have to be over here..! Thank Celestia that Kat can find all of them..!" Twilight sighed in relief.

"Alright, where the fuck is..? Wait.. Something's new here.." Ohm noticed.

"All right! Destoyer finally ballsed up and uncensored 'fuck'!" Basically cheered.

"Yo! Wildcat?!" Vanoss waved.

"Eyyyy!!" Terroriser greeted.

"Twilight?!" Cade gasped.

"Hey, Cade! It's good to see all of you again!" Twilight hugged Cade at practically light speed.

"Ack... You got faster... And stronger.." Cade forced a grin, crushed by Twilight's hug.

"Oh, sorry..!" Twilight apologized.

"Oh man... It's really nice to see you again..!" Droidd grinned.

"So, where's everyone else?" FourZer0 asked.

"They're all back at base camp. Some... Shit happened while you guys were gone.." Cade sighed.

Ruby pulled Cade aside.

"We don't really have to tell them, do we?!" Ruby gaped, whispering in his ear.

"It's not like we have much say in the matter..! Celestia's fucking dead, and.." Cade answered.

"PRINCESS CELESTIA'S DEAD?!" Twilight gasped.

'Damn it!' Cade cursed in his mind. They were talking at a literal whisper! How did Twilight hear that?!

"It's true. Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence have been killed. Along with your brother, your Honor Guard, Alexander, and my ENTIRE FAMILY!!" Ultimus informed, shouting the last two words in utter rage.

"Hols the fucking phone, Alex is dead?!" Terroriser gasped.

"Jesus fucking Christ! Who the hell OD'd on enough steroids to finally kill them all?!" Wildcat gaped.

"C-Cadence... Shining..." Twilight choked out, sobbing.

"That's... Kinda where shit hit the fan, here.." Cade seethed, struggling to even find an answer to Wildcat's question.

"It was Raven and Yang... They've been k-killing Inheritors all over.. My dad... Ultimus' family... They even would've killed Cade, Oreonna, and Auburn if Fairy Tail hadn't been with them.." Ruby tearfully added.

"...What the fuck did we miss?!" Basically demanded.

"So, let me get this straight... You guys somehow beat a fused Shadowman and Salem.." Mini figured.

"Yeah.." Cade nodded.

"Then Raven and Yang fucked up some Vacation site and Magnolia City again trying to weed out Alex.." Basically continued.

"Mm hmm." Ruby nodded.

"Then Yang killed Alex, tried to kill you guys, and now they're gonna kill Ruby." Terroriser finished.

"Yes. If it's at all possible, we need to defend the city as well." Erza added.

"Things have gotten worse. These Furies have gotten much stronger than when they were when encounters and sightings started." Illiya sighed.

"So, who the fock are they?" Nogla asked.

"I'm Illiya, these are my cousins, Spyden and Julius." Illiya introduced.

"... Are they significant to the story?" Twilight wondered.

"Eh, maybe next arc." Oreonna shrugged.

"We're wasting time! We must be ready for their arrival!" Ultimus shouted.

"With all due respect. We need to rest. It's not like we can defend this station when we're all tired as fuck." Mini shrugged.

"Yeah, man... I spent all day yesterday helping Alphys put together the piece of shit that got us here, and most of today trying to find you assholes!" Wildcat added.

*Lithia, Adenien; January 18, 2020; 3:04 PM*

Ultimus wandered through the command station, glaring at Vanoss.

"Who the hell evacuated the city?!" He demanded.

Delirious turned to Ultimus, annoyed.

"The fuck you talking about?!"

"Lithia's populace has been summoned to move to one of the other outlying cities, yet there's no danger of this wall coming down, so someone had to have entered the Evacuation Codes!" Ultimus shouted again.

"Calm the fuck down! We don't know what could've happened! How many command stations are able to send out evac orders?!" Wildcat shrugged.

"The only stations that can order an evacuation of one of the Three Cities are in Iridescence or here!" Ultimus replied.

"If there is an evac of the city, then who ordered it?!"

Yang walked along the wall, her armor improved and her power increased. She scoffed at how pitiful the defensive wall appeared. Battered from countless furies and gunfire tearing it apart.

"Ruby!! Ruby!!!" Yang called, innocently.

"Up here, Yang." Ruby coldly called, standing next to Cade and Auburn on top of the wall.

Yang looked up at them, scowling.

"So, you brats contacted Ruby. I suppose you also called in the evacuation order." Yang concluded.

"Evacuation order?!" Cade gasped. There was little sign of Fury activity since a few weeks ago, who called in the order?!

"I see. You wanted to clear out the city so we may have a proper battle. Shall we?" Yang grinned, transforming.

Ruby, Cade, and Auburn quickly did the same as Ultimus'a family, Twilight, Fluttershy, Fairy Tail, and the Vanossgaming Crew stepped outside, watching their encounter carefully.

"We didn't-" Auburn began, when Yang instantly leapt to the attack.

Yang had Auburn by her neck, grinning sinisterly as Cade leapt to her defense.

"DON'T YOU DARE!!" Cade roared, kicking Yang in the side to no effect.

Yang grabbed Cade by the leg, and punched him in the temple as hard as she could.

Auburn pulled herself up, lunging at Yang with her axe.

Yang instantaneously punched Auburn in the stomach, having effectively disabled both of her children.

"I hoped you children would have at least grown from our last encounter. It's time to finish what I came for, starting with you."

A red flash, a metallic ringing sound, and a gust of wind swept past Yang, taking a large chunk of her hair off.

Yang immediately transformed, glaring at Ruby.

"How dare you." Yang coldly glared.

Ruby herself let her Silver Eyes explode with power, raising her hair and changing her eye, skin, and of course hair color to a silvery tone.

"How dare I?! After what you did to Dad? To Alex?! Even your own children?!" Ruby shouted back.

"So... It's come to this, hasn't it? Goodbye, sister." Yang cracked her knuckles, grinning wickedly.

"I have no sister." Ruby scowled, brandishing her weapon.

The spectators stared in shock at what they were seeing.

"Holy fucking shit. They're gonna kill each other." Wildcat stared in shock.

"We have to do something..!" Erza decided.

"Erza, use your head! Even an alicorn like myself can't hold a candle to either one of them! Getting between them is suicide!" Twilight shouted.

"It.. can't end like this, can it..?" Auburn coughed, pulling the unconscious Cade aside.

The two strongest huntresses, once close siblings and friends, had been forced into a fight to the death.

One of them wasn't going to make it.

Suddenly, a metallic blur teleported, taking Yang with it.

"What the what?!" Ruby gasped.

Ultimus and Oreonna ran out of the station.

"I-Impossible..!" Ultimus gasped, sensing the source of energy responsible for Yang's sudden disappearance.

"Wait a second... Is that..?" Oreonna gasped.

Yang was thrown to the ground, still in her transformed state, glaring up at the mysterious figure.

"You...!" Yang growled in fury.

The figure standing over her wore an updated suit of armor, with a smooth, solid outside with layered, yellow panels covering his abs. His arms and legs were a shimmering metallic, but were worn and dented with roughly years of use. The man also wore a tattered, black scarf that drifted in the wind.

Pulling off his helmet, The man glared at Yang with a sense of familiarity. the hand-shaped group of scars had long since faded, but his right eye still looked dull and, in a way, artificial.

Everyone instantly knew who he was.

Alex Walker, seemingly returned from the dead.

"Heh... We meet again, Yang Xiao Long. What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost. but don't worry about that..."

An intense, light blue Aura flared around Alex, as he glared directly at the former huntress.

"So am I." Alex said with a wicked grin.

Author's Notes:

Twilight and co. have returned, and Alex is back in action!

What does this mean for Yang, trapped within her own mind? Will Alex go easy on her?

It's safe to assume no..

Find out how badly this is going to turn out on the next chapter of Blood Red Shadows 2!
