*Outside Atlas, Remnant; August 8, 2018; 3:08 PM*

"Come on, guys! We need to get Weiss out here!" Vanoss grabbed one side of the stretcher while Twilight levitated the other with her magic.

The members of Unity had brought Weiss outside the city for a proper burial, since she died trying to prevent Atlas from succumbing to ruin.

Vanoss, Lui, Twilight, Rainbow, and others surrounded the stretcher.

"Hold on a second... I think something's happening with Weiss!" Twilight noticed.

"Wait, Ruby used a Ray Gun blast to kill Weiss, right?" Lui asked.

"Yes, I'm still going to have a talk with her about that!" Rarity grit her teeth.

"The Ray Gun uses Element 115! The exact same shit used to make people zombies!" Moo Snuckel realized.

"Wait... If I can purify the 115 signatures, I could bring Weiss back!" Twilight held her horn, readying a spell.

"If Ruby were here, she'd probably be hugging all of you right now, or something." Wildcat smirked.

"Everyone, stand back!" Twilight charged the spell, her horn glowing bright purple.

"TAKE COVER!!" Pinkie cried, running behind an old building.

The magic floated towards Weiss' body, hovering above her chest and descending into the hole caused by Ruby's accidental shot. The hole glowed white, flowing to the skies before the white aura dissipated as quickly as it came.

Vanoss peered out, walking towards Weiss.

"Is... Is she alive?" Applejack asked.

"RUBY, YOU DUNCE!! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!!!" Weiss yelled.

Every ran to Weiss, happy that she was alive.

"We thought you were a goner!"

"You had me worried there!"

"...Did I miss something..?" Weiss asked.

"Ruby shot you by accident! Someone set her up!" Vanoss told her.

"Who set her up..? And WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE CITY?!" Weiss turned to see Atlas in smoldering ruins.

"Yeah, we have a bit of bad news.. Cinder took over Atlas and dropped the island we fought at on top of us. But Cade and Flurry will probably take care of it, right?" Rainbow asked.

"Yang and the others are there too, but Ruby went with Tyrian to stop.." Wildcat began to explain, when suddenly the ground felt like it was shaking apart.

"What... The f**k... Is that?" Vanoss asked, pointing to the glowing red, whitish-purple, and green lights in the remains of the Academy.

"They look like high-powered Auras..." Weiss noticed.

"What's up with the purple one? It's not solid like the others, it's more... static-y!" Rainbow covered her eyes

"That aura Rainbow pointed out... It's the same magic signature as Tyrian's..." Rarity noticed.

"You're right..! It feels immensely powerful! I can think only think of one other magic artifact that's that potent, but that shattered on Alex's chest... Years ago..." Twilight realized.

"Wait... You mean to tell me that the first-year that killed 3 other competitors is..?" Weiss gasped.

*Meanwhile, underneath Atlas Academy, Remnant*

"So, you two are from the future sent to kill me. And you must be Walker's son?" Cinder smiled deviously.

"That son of a bitch can't go without destroying my tech and helping to destroy the planet for 2 years?!" Ironwood scowled.

"You two... Out!" Cade ordered the two headmasters.

"Mr. Walker, I cannot in good conscience leave you here to die at Cinder's hand-." Ozpin began.

"I said GO!" Cade yelled as his eyes started to glow white.

"WALKER! AS YOUR SUPERIOR OFFICER, I ORDER YOU TO LEAVE!!" Ironwood bellowed.

"I'm not going anywhere until Cinder is dead." Cade scowled at the general, his hair starting to stand straight upwards.

"Your father's done enough damage. Get out before I kill you myself." Ironwood reached for his own revolver.

"James, I'm not Alpha. I'm not here to upscale you, either. Just get out." Cade ordered.

"I agree, General." Cinder suddenly, and calmly, added.

"What?" Flurry gaped.

"Why should I listen to you?" Ironwood scowled.

"Because, if I don't get to you first, Scion probably will." Cinder smiled.

Cade gasped.

'How the hell did she know about my code name?' He thought.

"Fine, but when this bastard dies, and Alexander is forced to leave, he's going to wish he never escaped from Winchester's cell!" Ironwood cursed, pointing to Cade.

"Sounds like you're fighting for the wrong side, General. I suppose it's fitting!" Cinder scowled as Ozpin dragged Ironwood out the door.

Cade and Flurry stood side-to-side, facing Cinder.

"I'm nothing like Alpha, but don't think that means I'll let you go in one piece." Cade threatened.

Cinder smiled, laughing slightly.

"Tell me, Scion, are you anything like your father?" Cinder asked.

*Meanwhile*

"AAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!" Alex charged at Ultimus like a raging bull through the skies.

Ultimus grit his teeth, raising his hand before being blown back by Yang's attack.

Alex grabbed his lever-guns, firing at almost full-auto trying to blow Ultimus apart. It seemed to work, had Ultimus not dodged the last one and sped towards Alex.

Ultimus kicked Alex in the chest before turning around and punching him at the side of the head.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!!" Yang leaped up, rapidly punching Ultimus until he grabbed her gauntlet and threw her down to the ground.

Alex slammed the lever-guns together, causing them to combine into a longsword. He sped towards the offending Inquisitor and hacked away at him, both Adenienites engaged in a duel.

Yang stayed at the ground, firing all of her remaining ammunition towards Ultimus, distracting him while Alex charged an attack and slashed at Ultimus' armor, causing the armor to shatter almost completely.

Ultimus, infuriated, charged at Alex, hacking and slashing away at him, with Alex just barely able to keep up.

"Well, Emphas! Are you having second thoughts about daring to challenge a higher-class warrior?! I SHALL NOT BE BESTED IN BATTLE, NOT BY YOU!!!! NOT BY HER!!! NOT BY ANYBODY!!!" Ultimus screamed in fury, with Alex obviously on the ropes.

Yang sped behind Ultimus, punching the offending inquisitor in the back of the neck while Alex grabbed Ultimus' arm and sharply twisted it behind his back.

Ultimus roared in pain as Alex and Yang beat and slashed the Corrupted Warrior into the ground.

Once the huntsmen dispersed, Ultimus pulled himself up, he reared back, forcing his arm back into place.

"You... YOU INGRATES!!!" Ultimus charged at Yang, hacking away at her gauntlets until they looked like they couldn't last any longer.

"NO YOU F**KING DON'T!!!" Alex stabbed Ultimus through a weak spot in his armor.

Ultimus pushed the sword in the rest of the way, into Yang's side, ripping Alex's blade out of his chest and smacking her into a destroyed building with the side of Alex's sword.

Alex jammed his elbow into Ultimus' neck and repeatedly punched him in his weakest point while Yang picked up Alex's sword.

Yang pulled the sword back, lurching out as soon as Alex was able to throw him. Yang stabbed Ultimus in the chest again, pulling the sword up and flinging Ultimus' body off of it, leaving all three warriors beaten to near-exhaustion.

"You can't beat us, you big green bastard! We both have enough power left to completely beat you down!" Yang screamed.

"Well, maybe not like this.." Ultimus smiled.

"...What?" Alex gaped as Ultimus started charging again.

Ultimus crossed his arms into an 'X', forcing out as much power as he possibly could, screaming loudly along the way.

Alex raised his sword at the ready while Yang reloaded her gauntlets.

Ultimus let out another powerful scream that threatened to tear apart the ground, all the while spewing an unearthly black aura.

By the end, Ultimus' skin had turned completely black with a few green lines trailing down his eyes and the ends of his mouth, retaining the bright green irises.

"Behold, Saigo Emphas. The culmination of my four years of preparation! The Corrupted Warrior!"

Alex gaped. This was about twice as strong as Ultimus was prior to his change.

Yang turned to face Alex, winking.

"Are you sure that's your maximum? You've been waiting 4 years to kill him, right?! Power up to max to show him what he's in for!!" Yang encouraged.

"Well, Saigo. You know how to pick 'em.. Fine, as due her request. I will reduce you to nothing but a pile of gore!!!" Ultimus roared as he continued powering up.

Once Ultimus started screaming, Alex sped behind him while Yang leapt at his front, both warriors started to repeatedly attack Ultimus, keeping him suspended while they worked.

'I hope you know what you're doing, Yang...' Alex mentally sighed.
