Falling down from the sky was oddly familiar to me as the ground was fast approaching. With Molten Coil in hand, I pulled the trigger a few times to fire myself forward. This both slowed me down a bit and propel me forward. As I got closer to the ground I fired forwards as my feet hit the ground. I rolled forward and came to a stand.

“Safe!” I said with a smile. I take a look around and my smile dropped as I saw all the destruction that’s going on. “Okay, not safe.”

I bolted down the street as I heard the sound of gunfire and yells from around me. As I ran I saw a few Beowolves coming out of an alleyway. Not wanting to stop I ignited Molten and slash forward, cutting the Beowolves heads off.

“Coming through!” I yelled. I kept going down the street as more and more Grimm appeared. As I tore through them as I did trying to make my way forward. As much as I tried they’re just too many and I was now surrounded by Grimm. I bit my lip as I tried to look for a way out. “I really got myself into this one huh.”

The Grimm around me growled at me as I held Molten Coil in my hands. I looked at her and at the ground. “Maybe a bit of a fiery explosion will help.”

With that in mind, I plunged Molten into the ground in hopes to let out a fiery explosion to either take out the Grimm or knock them back so I could run. The results were… interesting.

Instead of a flaming explosion of fire and brimstone Molten went a little deeper into the ground and in front of me, the ground seemed to come a bit as the cracks started to glow… then an arm came out, then another. Soon floating in front of me is a being of fire with two curved swords in its hands, claws, things. It wore molten rock like armor from the chest up while the bottom half is just fire. It looked around and saw the Grimm who I guessed was puzzled as I was.

With a single swipe of its sword, it sent a burning wave that, literally, buried everything to ash. My jaw dropped as the creature looked at me and waited for something.

“You’re new!” I yelled in shocked. It just stared at me as a million questions went through my head. “No! No, not now, I’ll ask them later. For now, I should find Indigo or someone that’s not trying to kill me.”

I walked forward for a bit and heard the Fire Elemental following me. “No! No stop following me!” It just stared at me. “I mean it! You’re just… some… fiery elemental!” And it continued to stare at me. It made some sort of noise but I didn’t understand it. “What… look you can’t come with me since everyone would freak out at the sight of you!”

It looked at me before looking off to the side and turned to fire, err just the fire part, not the fire with armor. It moved over to a wall and went into something that looks like a robot. Soon the body stood up and some flames were coming out of its armor. I simply stared at it and groaned.

“You’re not going to stay away, are you?” I asked it. For once it simply answered by shaking its head. I sighed and pulled Molten out of the ground. “Fine… let just go…”

With that, I started running off with the fire robot behind me. Funny enough the loud stomping of the robot behind didn’t attract anyone to us. We kept going until I started to hear gunshots. I slowed down and peer around the corner to see five more robots shooting at someone. My question was answered as Indi came up and shoot one of them before ducking back down. I pulled back and bit my thumb.

“What to do, what to do?” I asked myself as I looked over to the firebot. “Do you have any ideas?”

With that, I watched as it walked away from me and started to jog over to the other robots. It punches into one of the bots bodies and used it as a shield as the other three turned to shoot at it. Taking one of the guns it started to shoot molten shots at them before they were turned into scrap. I blinked at what just happen and walked out.

“Okay… that was awesome.” I said as I saw Indigo peek out. I waved at him and walked over towards him. “You okay?” He looked at the robot before looking at me.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Indigo said with a frown. He opened his mouth, about to speak but a multiple howls had caused him to stop and quickly turn to face the source, seeing a pack of beowolves charging towards us. Indigo took a fighting stance, clearly not wanting to simply move out of the way but before any of those beowolves could even get close, another howl was heard before the sudden appearance of a bigger beowolf. Even on all fours the beast was taller than the beowolves but with a growl, the larger beowolf stood on two legs, dwarfing the incoming pack. The larger beast glance back at Indigo, as it was waiting for something. With a smirk, Indigo said. “Sick ‘em.” With those simple words the large beowolf charge at the pack with blinding speed before grabbing the nearest one by its neck and piercing its chest with its long and sharp claws. The beast then tossed the bleeding body of the beowolf onto another before pouncing and stabbing another. One of the pack members pounced in an attempted to have the upper hand but the beast caught the smaller beowolf within its jaws before biting down, killing the beowolf as a result. The beast turned to face the remaining beowolves, growling as it did but was satisfied at the sight of them fleeing. With them now gone, the beast turned to face us before walking up to us but I noticed as it grew closer, it got smaller. It kept shrinking in size before finally stopping next to Indigo, I was shocked to see that it was Oni all this time. With a smile Indigo gave a few scratched behind his ears. “Good boy.” He said.

“That’s… new.” I said as Oni looked at me. “Could he always do that?” With a nod, Indigo answered.

“I’ve told you, he has his own semblance.” Indigo said, straightening up before grabbing his tonfas again. “He’s able to take the form of what he was meant to be if I never found him. He’s a Primal Beowolf.” Indigo said.

“Oh…” Was all I could say until the flaming robot started to shoot something. I turned to yell at it as a Nevermore flew over our heads and crashed away from us. The bot turned and little bursts of flames came out of its body. I stared at him and turned to Indigo as he stared at me. “Don’t ask, even I don’t know anymore. Wait, why were the Atlas bots firing at you?”

“They’ve been hacked. All of them, how is beyond me.” Indigo said, angered at this. “I’ve tried contacting the others, still no luck. I was about to head to the stadium before I was rushed by the Atlas bots.” He said.

“Have you tried Ruby and her friends?” I asked, looking around us. He shook his head, pulling out a scroll larger than the own he had crushed. “This piece of shit is a basic personal scroll, calling on this is absolute hell.” He said, quickly typing into the digital screen. “I found it on the ground mildly intact, someone must’ve dropped during the initial panic.” He said before finally being greeted with four images, each of them being of the separate members of RWBY. “Please work.” Indigo muttered.

Seeing this I looked down at the robots that Flame bot shot and got an idea. I kneeled down and started to open one of them up. “Busted, busted, junk, junk, here we go…” I pulled some wires out before heading over and started to drag the others to one spot. After five minutes of pulling them apart and Indigo still waiting I pulled a wire up to him. “Plug this into the scroll.” He nodded and plugged the wire into the scroll. The four bots jerked a bit and a light came on. As this happens the voices of Team RWBY were heard. Indigo raised an eyebrow at me as I smiled. “I was a bit of a tech bug when I was younger.”

“Hello!?! Professor Indigo!? You there?!” Ruby yelled through the scroll.

“Ruby stop yelling!”Weiss yelled back.

“Please, two yelling Ruby’s is a bit much.” Blake said. For a moment I was confused at what she meant but it became clear when I heard Blakes voice through Weiss’ image as they are right next to each other.

“Is Viri there with you?!”Ruby continued, I be it a little less loud.

“Yeah, she’s with me. Listen, I’m on my way to the stadium.” Indigo started just as another Atlesian bot and quickly fired at Indigo, only for him to spin his tonfa and deflect the incoming hellfire. Unfortunately for the bot, the very same bullets pierced its armor badly and fell having been defeated.

“We’re not at the stadium Indi, we left after…”Ruby stopped for a moment, I could almost hear her let out a sob before she continues. “The team that left, their back and I ran into Mercury before everything went crazy.”

“Yeah, the Grimm showed up and so did the White Fang. And to top it off the Atlesian bots are fighting against us as well!”Weiss added as we.

“Indigo, what’s going on?” Blake asked as I saw more Bots coming. The Flame bot walked over towards them and started shooting at them, giving us some cover.

“I don’t know.” Indigo answered simply. A frown forming as he did. As I looked over I heard a sound from the scroll that indicated it was from Ruby.

“Have to go, getting a call from Jaune.” Ruby said before her image goes dark.

“I’m going to go find Yang, I believe she’s around the dorms.” Blake said.

“I’m going to go find Ruby, Oum knows she needs some help.”Weiss said before her image went dark and the sound of running was heard from Blakes image. As soon as the call ended, the scroll emitted a few buzzes before the screen shattered, the scroll having had enough of the robo booster I build, also the four robots were also smoking a bit.

“Geez they don’t make robots like they used to anymore…” I said dryly.

“I prefer no robots.” Indigo said before looking down at Oni, who sat patiently. “Come on, we shouldn’t stand around here anymore.” As he said this, a few Nevermores flew above us.

“Yeah.” I said as Flame bot came back, now missing an arm which was replaced with an on fire one. “That’s looks… freaky.” It looked at me before looking down at the four smoking ones, ripped one of their arms off and reattached it to itself. I simply started at it for a moment before looking at Indigo. “Where to?”

“We’ll split up, find any civilians and get them to a safe location. I think I’ve heard that Atlas has set some evacuation zones around Vale, just look for the Bullhead, you can’t miss em.” He said before running into a random direction with Oni in tow.

I only nodded and looked to Flame Bot. “Let’s go.” with that I ran off in the other direction with the bot following behind.

A few hours later as I found one of the evacuation zones and got some civilians to safety I saw it was getting dark but the school area was still on fire. I ran around the dorms to see if I can find anymore.

“This place looks clear.” I said as the flame bot came up. I saw it was getting more and more damage as the hours pass. “Come on, we’ll do one more pass and-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!”

As I yelled that a large, Grimm like dragon flew over us and went towards the Tower of the school. I stood there staring towards it and looked at the bot. “THERE’S DRAGON GRIMM!?!”

My shock was interrupted when I saw Yang running across the lawn. She was quite away from me and she seemed determined about something. I looked to the Flame bot and ordered it to go see if he can find anyone else to save. With that I ran after Yang.

As I got closer I heard an explosion, a scream, then another that sounded like Blake, “YANG!” was all I heard as I got around to where everything is and saw something that made my blood go cold. Both Yang and Blake were on the ground as Blake was holding her side as blood was bleeding through, and Yang was clutching her arm… or lack thereof. Walking towards them was a man in a black jacket with a red design on his left shoulder. With outfit was that of black and red colours as his hair is short and red with two horns coming out of it. He wears a white Grimm mask that most White Fang goons I seen wear as well. He holds a red katana in his hand as he brought it around to strike Yang.

“NO!” I yelled as I ran forwards and blocked it with Molten Coil.

“Ugh, one after the other.” he grows as I pushed him away and held my weapon with both hands.

“Blake, are you okay?” I asked her.

“I… ugh, don’t worry about me. Yang is…” she trailed off as Yang clutches her cut off arm.

“My arm… Ahh!!” she cries. I grip the handle as I grit my teeth.

“You hurt my friends, you’re going to pay.” I growled at him.

“You all are getting on my nerves, where is Indigo.” he ordered. I scoff at him.

“Here’s my answer.” I said as I shot a molten bolt at him. He simply slashed at it, cutting it in half an missing him.

“Fine, your next.” he said before dashing forward. I brought my weapon up and blocked his strike and pushed him to the side. Both our weapons clashed as I tired to push him away. I slashed at him, sending flames at him but it seemed he could cut through that as well.

“Why are you doing this!” I yelled at him.

“Hm, looks like Blake there haven’t really talked about me have she.” the man said as he dashed forward and clashed with me. He looked over and spoke to Blake. “Blake, I’m giving you a chance to return to the White Fang! Don’t be stupid and help me bring justice to the Faunus!”

“Your justice… is twisted and wrong Adam!” Blake yelled, trying to pull Yang away.

“Uh, hey I’m still right here!” I yelled as I push Adam away and pushed forward. He blocks my attacks and jumps back as I raised Molten Coil up until I heard a shot went off. A spike of pain went off as I looked down and saw blood coming out of my clothes. I dropped Molten Coil and fell backwards, clutching my stomach. “B-but…”

“How did a bullet get pass your aura?” Adam said as he walks over to me with his sword at my throat. “Now, tell me where’s Indigo, Now!”

I panted a bit as I looked at him. I raised a hand up and flipped him the bird. “...Fuck… off… you Edgelord…” he snorted at this.

“Pity, you could of had a quick death.” he said as he puts his boot on my wound. I screamed as he digged into it and the pain skyrocketed.

“Hey, dickweed!” Adam’s attention turned to the one who insulted him, I couldn’t help but chuckle at this. I looked to the owner of the voice, seeing Indigo with both his tonfas ready for battle. Adam, seeing Indigo, moved his boot away from my wound.

“You’ve finally decided to show your face.” Adam sneered, redying his sword as he spoke. “Once I’m done I’m with you, I’ll show Blake your nothing but broken excuse of a man.” He said. With a chuckle, Indigo replied.

“I’d like to see you try.” Indigo said just before Adam charged at him with incredible speed before depriving what would’ve been a powerful strike if it weren’t blocked by Indigo’s tonfas with loud clang. Indigo managed to deliver a headbutt that had left Adam disoriented before being shoved away. “Come on, is that all you’ve got?” Indigo asked, gaining a gowl from Adam before he charged once again, delivering a flurry of swiped and strikes that Indigo had dodged, blocked or ducked under each one.

As he was distracted I looked over and pulled myself towards the others, wincing every time I twisted the wrong way. I pulled Molten Coil along luckily until I had my back laying on some fallen debris. I looked at the other two and saw Blake trying to help Yang out. Pulling Molten closer I saw a piece of wood nearby. Regretting what I have to do I reached for it and put in my mouth so I could bite down on it as I try to dig the bullet out with a knife I found a few weeks ago. The sound of clashes and gun shot filled the air as I screamed into the wood as I did this task, almost passing out from the pain. Soon I got the bullet out and tossed the knife away. I put my hand to my wound and tired to use my semblance to cauterize the wound but with my aura broken it wasn’t working.

An angered yell brought my attention back to the fight, Indigo looked worn out and so did Adam. The latter seeming to double his attempts to strike Indigo. With another clang, their weapons clashed but this time, it was Indigo that was faltering before Adam swiftly kneed Indi’s stomach and gained the upper hand, shoving him off and shifting his sword into a gun before firing at Indigo’s left knee, gaining a pained yell as a result. The latter fell onto his remaining knee, unable to recover from the shot but before Adam could strike once more, Indigo quickly aimed his tonfa as it changed into its submachine gun before firing once into Adam’s arm and as a result, the wounded arm hung limp and dropped his weapon. Enraged at this Adam kicked Indigo across the face, making fall onto the floor as a result while he picked up his weapon with his only functioning arm before doing something I thought impossible.

“Die, worm!” Adam yelled striking down a wounded Indigo. His blade piercing through the center of his chest. I stared with wide eyes as Indigo struggled to remove the blade and he struggled and struggled until he went limp.

There was no sound other than some yells and screams in the distance and the sound of fire nearby as I stared at Indigo. That all shakered as Blake let out a blood girdling scream as she pointed her weapon out at Adam and fired. Some shot went wide while Adam barley was able to block her shots until she was clicking with an empty mag. Adam growled as walking over to me.

“You’re turn.” he growled at me. I stared up at him until something drew my attention away, making me smirk a bit. “What are you smiling at?!”

“Flame bot.” I answered, making him tilt his head a bit in confusion.

“Flame bot?” he said as he turned around, right as he got shot with a shotgun blast of fire from the Flame bot. He screamed in pain before the bot grabbed him and threw him out of the ruined building. It turned back to me and looked at the wound, the next few minutes was me grunting in pain as the bot was cauterizing my wound. When that was done it went over to the others, Blake crawled over to Indigo and tired to help him.

“Y-your going to be fine, we just need to get to a doctor and you’re going to be fine and… and…” she had her hands on the wound to try and stop the bleeding. Tears fell ran down her face as I laid there as I pulled the gem from aunty. Just as I did I heard footsteps as Weiss came around the corner.

“There you all are, what’s going-” she stopped and looked around at Me, Yang, Blake, and Indigo. She covered her mouth in shock at what she’s seeing before running over to Blake. I sighed as I put my head back on what I’m leaning on.

“What else could go wrong?” I whispered. Just as I said that I heard a loud screaming as a white light was coming towards us. “Oh come on~!”

As the light past over us something weird happened, the gem glowed and shattered in my hand as I felt the cold energy washed over me and out. It took a few moments before the light subsided and I was back in the Valley. I was on my back at this point as I pushed myself up to see I was in a patch of tall grass. I let out a sigh as I didn’t really want to up and disappeared with the others there but I guess it couldn’t be helped.

“Uhhh…” a voice grabbed my attention as I slowly turned to see both Weiss and Blake there, looking around at their new surroundings. I stared at them before looking back to see Flame Bot and Yang, now passed out, there as well.

“Oh… shit.” I said.

“Viri…” Weiss said as both she and Blake stared at me. “Where are we?”

I didn’t say anything as I looked around some more until I saw a familiar sight coming towards us. Sure enough, it was Mother coming to see me. I looked back at them before speaking.

“Remember what I said at the sleepover about my past?” I asked them. They nodded as they noticed the figure coming closer. “Well… I wasn’t telling you all the full story.”

The End of Beacon and Team RWBY is in the Valley... Oh boy
