Cold Steel and Fiery Vengeance(Crossover)

Awakening
Somewhere in one of Remnant's more remote reigons, someone is just wondering through a snow storm but not without reason. This figure is looking for something The figure's face is completely covered by a hood but he is armed. His only weapons appear to be a sword and a strange pistol- like weapon that is attached to his arm. He looks at a small scroll like device but the visual display on it keeps being disrupted.

" Work you infernal device!" he exclaims as the figure tries to fix the visuals.

And as soon as he's almost fixed it he trips over something. The device starts beeping as he gets back up and he realizes that he found what he was looking for. Its a hatch under the ice that leads to something inhuman. He opens the hatch which leads into a massive chamber. The walls are lined with pods and they're filled with something. The figure approaches a console in the room and activates it. The pods' occupents are revived after a long sleep. The occupents energe from the pods revealing something that could permantly change Beacon Academy. They are the Cybermen.

Divided We Fall
It's been two weeks since the tombe was opened. Team RWBY has not been acting like a team recenlty due to arguements between Ruby and Wiess. The first one takes place after teams RWBY and JNPR are sent to deal with a Deathstalker threatening anyone who entesr the Emerald Forrest. On the way to where the monster is reported to be, Wiess came up with a plab to kill it. A plan she bever uses though because Ruby charges in which results in her being knocked back sveral feet. Weiss is forced to use her glyphs to stop her from falling off a cliff. The monster is eventually killed by Team JNPR in the same manner as the one in the Ancient Temple. Ruby  is comfronted by Weiss shortly afterward. "What was that?! You just charged in and almost got killed! I had a plan all set up an you just charge in like your invincible! Did you even consider it?!"" No, but I thought I could handle it Weiss!" Yang sees what's happening between Ryby and Wiess and decides to intervene. "Come on you two break it up. There's no need for this." Ruby and Wiess turn away from eachother in anger and go back to their dorm. A few days later they are sent to deal with a pack of beowulves at least thirty strong. Ruby, Yang, and Blake get the easy part of the job, wich is dealing with the smaller members of the pack. Weiss is left to deal with the pack leader. Ruby and the other easily deal with the smaller beowulves and Wiess eventually kills the pack leader. Ruby then confronts Weiss about what happened. "Wiess where were you? We could have use your help!" "Well I'm sorry Ruby but I wsa busy dealing with the pack leader!" Yang tries to stop the argumnet again but it doesn't work. Yang and Blake are forced to push Weiss and Ruby apart but then once they get back to the dorm it escalates again. "Ruby you really need to mature as leader but I doubt that will ever happen!" "Well if your such a great leader why don't you take on the responsibility! You know if I knew how much trouble you would cause..." "You'd what?" Ruby shouts out in absolute rage,"I wish you had never joined my team!" Everyone is shocked at what was just said. Ruby begins to say,"Wiess, I didn't mean it," but Wiess has already ran out of the dorm in tears.

Deal With the Devil
Yang is sitting beside Ruby trying to calm her down. Ruby keeps saying throuhg tears,"It's all my fault." Yang is doing her best to comfort her. Yang is thinking to herself,"I hope Blake finds Wiess soon." Blake is trying to track down Wiess and bring her back to the dorm. On the way she runs into Velvet. "What are you doing up, Blake?" " Wiees ran off somewhere after an arguement with Ruby and I'm trying to find her." "Do you need some help?" " Sure" Now Blake and Velvet are looking for Weiss. Weiss is crying to herself in the garden saying,"I can't believe Ruby would say that." Then out of no where a voice speaks and says, "I agree with you, Wiess.  Ruby is too imature to lead a team with such an accomplished warrior such as yourself." Wiess stands up and draws her weapon and says, "Who are you and how do you know my name?" "Well when you have been watching a world for eight months you get a lot of intel." Wiess is still looking around to see where this voice is coming from."Ok so you know me but who are you?" "Apologies for not introducing myself before." Wiess feels a sudden gust of wind and the voice speaks again, saying "Why don't you turn around to see who you're taliking to." Wiess is shocked and turns around to see a completely armored figure wearing a helmet with two circular slits for the eyes with tear drop shapes by the corners covering half his face with a strange blue light on his chest standing behind her; Wiess is terrified and falls backwards. The figure moves closer and extends his hand to help her up and Wiess, reluctanly, takes the armored hand. He asks her,"Are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine" "Good, I apologize for the scare." "So who or what are you?" "Well I am what you would call a cyborg." "A cyborg?" "Yes but not an ordinary cyborg. We are the future of humanity and the Faunus!" "We?" "Yes,my friend over there is dying to meet you." Then a large form walks out of the shadows. It is the same size as a human  but it, like the other person, is completely armored with the same blue ligh on it's chest. "This, Wiess, is a Cyberman. The next step in human and Faunus evolution!" "You still haven't said your name." "Sorry. I am the Cyber-King and I have come to make you an offer." "What kind of offer?" "I see how the others treat you and I see it as the incorrect way to treat a warrior of your calibur." Wiess blushes at the complement. "I know you have potential yet Ozpin doesn't see what I do. So my offer is this: Join my forces, become the leader you were destined to be! Or you can stay here and be held back. Make your choice." "I don't...." "I will give you some time to think about it, five days. If you come to a decision before the final day contact me using this comm link. It fits into your ear and no one will be able to hear our conversations." Blake shouts into the garden, "Wiess is that you?" The Cybre-King and the Cyberman look in that direction."Keep this meeting and the comm link secret, Wiess." "Ok.I will." "Good." Wiess turns to see Blake but quickly turns back to see that the Cyber-King is gone. Wiess meets up with Blake and they both go back to the dorm.

A Cold Betrayl
Wiess wakes up the next morning wondering if it was all a bad dream. Ruby comes over to see her and says,"I'm really sorry about last night Wiess. I didn't mean it, any of it." Wiess says in response,"It's ok Ruby. I plan to fix this." "Good. Now come on, we're going to be late." "Yeah I'm coming I just need to... check on something. "Ok but don't take too long." "I won't" She looks under her pillow and finds the comm link the Cyber-King gave her the nigh before. "So... it wasn't a dream." Three days pass since the meeting and Wiess is really thinking about it carefully. Wiess after one of her classes sneaks back to her dorm unnoticed and activates the comm link. "Wiess,is that you?" "Yes, it's me." "So have you made the right choice?" "Yes. I will join your forces." "Good. A dropship will come at 10:56 PM to get you an dbring you to my base. Take only what you need and leave no trace of where you went." "Understood." After a long day team RWBY is ready to get some rest and surprisingly Wiess is the first one to go to sleep. A few hours later once everyone's asleep, Wiess gets up and takes a suit case out from beneath her bed. She takes it and her weapon and head out to the garden where the dropship and the Cyber-King are waiting. Wiess climbs aboard and asks,"So where are we going?" "To my ship, in Forever Fall." The gunship brins them to an open clearing and Wiess says stating the obvious,"There's no ship here." "You might want to check again." Then a massive ship appears out of nowhere right in the middle of the clearing. "After you Wiess," and the Cyber-King gestures her inside. Once inside,Wiess marvels at the interior saying,"This place is mobile millitary base isn't it?" "Yes. It's construction took nearly 60 months. The entire ship can hold several million soldiers and is also a Cyber conversion facility." "A what?" "In other words, this is the place the Cybermen are made and repaired." "And the Cybermen, they're cyborgs too?" "Yes. Humans have been uograded to have all emotions taken away. I am an exception of course. I modified the process to keep some emotions, but not all." The Cyber-King takes Wiess on a tour of the ship showing her a chamber that is meant to be for the next lieutenant. "So, who is the next lieutenant?" "Originally, I had narrowed it down to two candidates:Phyra and Yang. After several hours of consideration,I have decided on Yang." "But how? She doesn't want to make such an impact on the world as me." "Simple,she won't have a choice."

Taming the Flame
Yang is waking up but she realizes something's not right. She goes over and sees that Wiess is gone."Ruby ,Blake get up!" Blake just rises casually but Ruby falls out of her bed,startled. "Yang, what's wrong?" "Wiess is gone!" "What?!" "Ruby,you did apologize right?" "Yeah. I said it to her yesterday morning." "There's something really wrong here. Even Mrytenaster is gone." "Maybe there's something that's here that can give us a clue as to where she went." The three of them spend four hours looking for something ,anything that would give a clue as to what happened to Wiess. But, they don't know that they are being watched. The Cyber-King has had small robots monotoring the entire world of Remnant. "It appears that your former friends are looking for you,Wiess. But it seems you did a good job hiding your tracks." Ruby finally joins back up with the others and they came up with the same result: nothing. Ruby wonders to herself,"Is this my fault because of the arguments?" Wiess is somewhat worried if she actually made the right choice. Four days later, Yang has decided to spar with Blake one night. While Yang's waiting someone comes from behind and charges at Yang with a sword. It's the Cyber-King. Yang dodges the incoming attack and orepares to take on her attacker, but he's no where to be found. In fact he 's actually on top of a nearby tower. "Well,it's good to see your reflexes are as sharp as ever!" "Who the heck are you and why did you attack me!?" "Well I am the Cyber-King and as for why I attacked you, well that was just to get your attention!" The Cyber-King then teleports behind her and says,"You really need to pay more attention to your opponent, though!" Yang swings her fist as she turns around but just hits the air. She's getting increasingly agitated and says,"You don't know who you're messing with!" "Oh yes I do! You are a wild fire! But I won't get burned!" The Cyber-King isn't teleporting though, he has incredible speed; he's even faster than Ruby. Yang shouts in frustration, "Why don't come and fight me on fair terms!!" "Very well, if you insist!" The Cyber-King stops running and appears behind Yang and says,"Take the first shot Yang!" Yang tries to hit him but he dodges. Yang goes on a rampage swinging wildly but the Cyber-King just keeps dodging. Then he smiles a small grin on his face and Yang finally hits him with an uppercut. The Cyber-King is sent flying backwards and knocked out. Yang goes to see who this guy was. As soon as Yang gets close enough, the Cyber-King grabs her by the throat and eletrocutes her while saying,"You belong to us now. You shall be like us!"

Being Broken
The Cyber-King goes to check on Yang to make sure he didn't kill her. He checks her pulse and says,"Good,you're still alive." The Cyber-King looks to his right and fires a small cable from his arm and electrocutes it. He retracts the cable after a few minutes and on the other end is Velvet. "Oh, Velvet, you can't hide from me. I can see the one thing that can't be hidden. There's no point in killing you because I have plans for you." He picks up both of them and puts them over his shoulders. He begins walking towards the cliffs where a gunship is supposed to pick him up but then a shot rings out. The Cyber-King falls over dropping Yang and Velvet. Then Phyra comes from behind a column by the garden and says,"I don't think so." Phyra goes over to help Yang and Velvet but once she gets over there,the Cyber-King rises up and punches her right in the face. Phyra is sent flying several feet and into a pillar. "I knew you were there Pyhra! I could see your Arua!" Phyra staggers to her feet and asks, "How?" "It's a nice little upgrade I made myself. Even when your Arua's not in use I can still see it!" Phyra is shocked at this and realizeswhat the Cyber-King always knew. "Yes,I knew you were there once I had incapacitated Yang." The Cyber-King advances towards Phyra who uses the rifle mode of her weapon and fires several shots which just bounce off the Cyber-King's armor. Once he's close enough, he grabs Phyra by the throat and says,"Call your friends! I want them to see this. Fire two shots into the sky!" Phyra doesn't do what he asks and he throws her aside. "Fine I'll do it myself." He picks up Phyra's rifle and shoots two rounds into the sky. Ruby,Blake, Jaune, Nora,and Ren all see the signal and realize Phyra's in trouble. More trouble than the realize. All of them race to where the shots were fired not knowing who they were about to meet. Ruby and the others run to the garden to help Phyra. The Cyber-King looks towards Phyra who is stagering back up and says,"Your friends are coming just as planned. Now let's give them a show shall we?" Phyra gets up and activates the sword mode of her weapon and charges the Cyber-King who just dodges. Ruby and the others soon arrive and the Cyber-King goes on the offensive. He moves behind Phyra and grabs her and iy looks like he's going to throw her at the others. Instead he tajes her and Jaune watches helplessly as the Cyber-King breaks Phyra's spine against his knee. Jaune is just filled with rage the moment the Cyber-King tosses Phyra aside, who is seemingly dead. "Phyra!" Jaune rushe over to check on her while everyone else focuses on the Cyber-King. Everyone just charges the Cyber-King who once again has Yang and Velvet over his shoulders. The Cyber-King just dodges again and again until the gunship appears. He kicks all of them away and climbs aborad the gunship. Everyone who has a gun opens fire on the Cyber-King who just casually stands still,uneffected by the bullets. Soon he tells someone else on the ship,"Deal with them!" Wiess steps out  of the shadows and fires blast of energy from Mrytnaster. Ruby is just as shocked as everyone and when she looks back to the gunship it begins to depart with Wiess, Yang and Velvet onboard.

The Fall of a Friend
Yang begins to wake up in the middle of a dark ,metal room illuminated by a single light.. She tries to move but she's been restrained to a chair. Someone says in the darkness,"Don't try to struggle, Yang. That just makes it take longer." "You! Let me out of here!" Yang tries to free herself once again but to no avail. "Just remain calm. The process will be painless, I assure you." The Cyber-King moves over to a small needle filled with a strange silver substance and he moves closer to Yang. He then jabs the needle into her neck and Yang falls back into unconsciousness. "We have to go after them Ozpin! We can't just let... whoever that was have his way with our friends!" Ruby slams her fist down on Ozpin's desk in anger because he won't be persuaded. "Ruby,I understand your concern, afterall they are your teammates and friends, but we can't risk any more students getting injured. You saw what happened to Phyra and barely survived. Ruby what exactly makes you so sure that they're still in Vale?" "I don't know but..." "You know for the small amount of training you have had Ruby, you're actually quite smart." Everyone looks and sees the Cyber-King standing in the room behind them. Ruby tries to tackle the Cyber-King but she just falls through him. "Apologies. I should have told you this image was a hologram before hand." Ruby gets up and stares in anger at the holographic Cyber-King, "Don't be sorry for me. You should feel sorry for yourself when I find you!" "Calm down Ruby your sister and Wiess are safe." Ozpin looks at the Cyber-King in anger,"Why have you come here?" "Simple. I come with an offer to end the conflict in a civil way. I am now going to broadcast to the entire school." 'Hello, Beacon Academy! No doubt by now you have heard about how three students dissapeared and one was beaten to near death. Well, allow me to say you now speak with the culprit. And I can assure you, Velvet and the others are ok and soon Velvet will have nothign to worry to about. Soon all her pain will vanish. And I offer you the same choice. Surrender yourselves, embrace the upgrading like many others have or you can fight against us and all of you can be destoryed. And before you decide observe." Then an image comes up with Velvet strapped to a chair surrounded with saws. lasers and hypodermic needles. " Velvet here has expierenced nothing but pain and misery at Beacon thanks in part to Cardin and his team. I asked her if she'd like that pain to be gone;she said yes.Velvet is about to become one of the most superior beings in existence. Begin the conversion process, Yang!" "Yes sir." And Ruby is shocked to see Yang activate the process to convert Velvet into a Cyberman. All of Beacon hears Velvet screaming in pain as the saws and other parts of the converter go to work and after a minute a new being emerges,a red light glowing from it's chest.Velvet has become the first new Cyber-Lord. Beacon is stunned by this news; Ruby and Blake are shocked the most though. "Yang, what happened to you?" Tears begin to well up in Ruby's eyes. "I must thank you again for the procedure Cyber-King. I don't think I would've ever come to my senses if not for you." "No thanks are necessary, Yang. It is just correct to help such a warrior as yourself find their true purpose in this world." Then it is revealed why Yang works for the Cyber-King. Her mind is under his control because of Cybermites which formed a tranciever on the right side of Yang's forehead which keeps the actual Yang surpressed while Cyber-Yang is in control of the body and actions. The newly upgraded Velvet reports to the highest ranking members if their operation: the Cyber-King, Yang, Wiess. "Sir, we have captured seven thousand humans which have all been scheduled for upgrading." "Excellent. What about Project Reaper?" "Reaper A is being prepared for the process. Reaper B is being sedated and the arnor is 95.6% complete." "Excellent. Continue production of the armor and make sure both are ready when we begin the siege on Beacon. In the meantime you two will train so you'll be ready for it." Both Wiess and Yang reply,"Yes sir." A few hours later they are in the training room with robots that have the ability to take on the appearence of anyone including mimicing their voices. Wiess and Yang have to kill 100 each. 99 look like Jaune while one looks like Blake for Yang and one looks like Ruby for Wiess. Yang and Wiess fight through the Jaune-bots easily. When Yang fights the Blake bot she punches it's head off without hesitation and then crushes it with her foot. When Wiess goes to kill the Ruby bot it says in Ruby's voice,"Wiess please don't ,we're friends." The Cyber-King shouts ,"Strike her down! NOW!" "I.... can't." The Cyber-King comes down into the arena and uses his calapseable sword to kill the Ruby bot. Once Wiess leaves the arena, the Cyber-King pulls Yang over to the side. "Wiess's loyalty is wavering. There must be something to cement it with me, but what?" "That's easy. Use Blake." "Blake will never cooperate with us." "I didn't mean the actual Blake." A grin appears on the Cyber-King's face and says, "Yang you are diabolical. I like that." Some time later Wiess is watching a message from Blake that says,"If you come back to Beacon you will be shot on sight. I'm sorry Wiess but you're not a huntress anymore." Wiess begins to cry uncontorlablely After 30 minutes she confronts the Cyber-King and says,"It's time for me to truly become your lieutenant, sir. The role you gave me is about to be truly fulfilled."

Project Reaper
Wiess comes up to the Cyber-King with something important on her mind. "Sir if I may ask, what is Project Reaper?" "I was hoping to keep it a secret until it was finished, but  I suppose since you've asked I believe that I can explain. Follow me, please." The Cyber-King and Wiess are walking down a corridor to another part of the ship and the Cyber-King is explaining his masterplan." Previously in the Cybermen's history other organisms have been upgraded, not just humans. Animals have been converted as well." He shows her an old photo of a strange creature. "What is this?" "The only photographic evidence of the ancient Cybershades. Beings that are part animal, part robot. They were fierce, fast, and deadly. They haven't been made in several years. However, my time on this planet has yielded some surprising results about the creatures of Grimm. They can be upgraded." 'Are you insane?! You're going to tame some of the most dangerous beasts on the planet?!" "I'm not going to, Wiess." He and Wiess now stand outside a massive hangar door and the Cyber-King begins to open it. He says once it is full open,"I already have." A massive shadow emerges and a powerfull roar could be heard through the entire ship. "Behold, the newest Cybershades! Behold, the Cyber-Grimms!" and after saying that tww monsters appear; one is a Deathstalker, the other a Nevermore. Each of them have metalic armor on their bodies and Cybermen faceplates covering their own faces. The Nevermore's feathers have machine guns inbededed into them. The natuarl durability of the Nervermore's hide has been increased ten fold with metal implants. The Deathstalker's powerfull armor has also been upgraded by metal implants. The pincers have been outfitted with rotating blades on the indside of them. the stinger has been replaced with a powerfull fully autmatic machine gun simmilar to weapons the Cybermen have attached to their arms."They have been reborn as the Cyber-Wyvern and the Cyber-Bemoth! They are totally subservant to the Cybermen!"

The Begining of the End
The Cyber-Lord, Velvet, goes immediately to the Cyber-King and says,"Sir, all human subjects have been upgraded." "Excellent, then our forces are at 320,000! A sizeable army! No doubt strong enough to bring Beacon down!" Wiess comes up behind him and asks the question that's always been on her mind,"Why? What threat does Beacon pose against you?" "Beacon is a symbol of hope", Yangs responds, "and as long as that stands humanity will feel as though they have a chance to stop the glorious evolution the Cybermen offer." "If Beacon stands humanity will brgin to resist us and that will result in more bloodshed than I had planned. Bloodshed is something I prefer to resort to only when it's unavoidable." "You sound different, why?" "This is....a personal matter to me Wiess. It happened when I chose to beacme the Cyber-King. I t happened... in my past." "Your origins?" "Yes and I would love to tell you, but... we have a spy in the complex!" The Cyber-King turns quickly and fires at the cieling. Soon after, Sun Wukong is forced out of hiding."Sun, you're a terrible spy!" "Hey, a terrible spy would've been caugh by now!" "Well you're about to be captured!" The Cyber-King opens fire with his arm canon while persuing Sun who is running to an air vent. Sun manages to get to air vent and escapes and fortuneately unharmed. "Shall we go after him, sir?" "No,let fear grip the hunters and huntresses. I want them to know that their demise is coming. Let's see what they think when that fear is in play." Blake is still trying to figure out why Wiess and Yang joined the Cyber-King while drinking some coffe when Sun runs into her dorm. "Sun, how did you find me?" "Come on. I found you once ,didn't I," he says in reply. "What's that guy's name who's been threatening Beacon?" Blake says reluctantly,"The Cyber-King." "Well, I just found out what he's going to do Beacon. He's brining an army, Blake! And at the front of it, two tamed creatures of Grimm!" Blake almost drops her coffe at this latest development. She quickly gets her scroll and tries to call Ruby to tell her. "Ruby, are you there?" "Blake! What's wrong?" "Sun just found something out about the Cyber-King! He plans to attack Beacon!" "WHAT?! I'm coming back!" "Penny, we have to get back to Beacon! NOW!" "Why, what's wrong? Is Blake ok?" "She's fine but she won't be for long. Come on we have to go!" Once Penny and Ruby are halfway to Beacon, an explosion rings out behind them,sending them both flying. Ruby turns to see Roman Torchwick walking into view. "Roman? What the heck are you doing?" "Oh, Red. You wouldn't believe the price on your head right now." "What?" "Yep, a very generous employer has offered quite the amount of money for your head little Red." Ruby realises who Roman's employer is and thinks to herself, "The Cyber-King." She says aloud,"Roman don't do this! He'll just kill you when he doesn't need you anymore!" "Oh, Red, he wouldn't dare try to do that. He's seen Crimson and he fears her so I'd say I'm pretty safe." Roman has the iron sight of his cane pointed at Ruby's head but he's kicked away by Penny. He gets up in anger and shouts,"Alright who did that?!" Penny activates her weapon and Roman realizes he's outmatched. He runs off saying,"This isn't over!"

The Quiet Before the Storm
The Cyber-King has assembled all his forces in a large hangar on his ship while Wiess,the Cyber-Lord,and Yang are close by the Cyber-King. "Cybermen!" he shouts,"For many years,you have been imprisoned beneath the surface of this planet. For many years,you remained dormant on this planet. For many years your mission has remained unfinished but that has changed! I liberated you from the tomb for your purpose to finally be fulfilled! Soon the only threat to our glorious goal will be reached! This planet's population will be upgraded! First Vale will be claimed then the rest of the world!" The Cybermen begin to chant "ALL HAIL THE CYBER-KING!" Yang and Velvet join in but Wiess is still reluctant to follow thier lead. Wiess is begining to think to herself,"Was that message fake?"Ruby and Penny finally make it to Beacon, fortunately unharmed from the explosion. When Blake sees them seh asks,"What happened to you two? We were worried the Cybermen I had gotten to you." "No, but that Torchwick guy found us instead. I think he's working for the Cyber-King. He said that someone paid him to kill me." "Well that makes thing more complicated than they already are considering the Cyber-King's pet Grimms." "What?!" "Apparently, the Cybermen have planning this for a long time. Longer than we think even." "If the Cyber-King plans to attack Beacon then..." "Yeah, we will have to fight Wiess,Velvet, and Yang. Ruby I'm sorry but there isn't any other option." Sun decides to say something he held back before. "Well.. that isn't entirely true." "Sun,what do mean?" "I think your friend Yang is being controlled." "How?" "When i got inside the Cybermen's base,I saw that Yang's eyes were a different color. They were grey instead of the usual lilac." "So why would that say that she's being comtrolled?" "I don't know." Jaune is walking over to the hospital to see if Phyra's ok when he hears a loud echoing marchin sound from the Emearld Forrest. He decides to go down there to see what it is and he doesn't like what he finds. He sees the entire Cyberman army marching toward Beacon with Yang,Wiess,the Cyber-Lord,Velvet,and the Cyber-King in the lead.

The Battle of Beacon
Jaune runs back to Beacon to warn the others of the aproaching army assembling in the Emerald Forrest. Ruby and the others are still thinking about a way to free Yang from the Cyber-King's control and help Wiess get back to her senses when Jaune comes bursting into their dorm."Ruby!" "Jaune what's wromg." "They're here! The Cybermen. They're in the Emearld Forrest!" Ruby,Blake and the others have no idea what to do about coordinating an millitary defensive but then someone walks in to help with that. "Looks like you could use my help." Jaune turns to see Phyra alive and well which is a miracle considering the condition she was in when she was brought into the hospital. "Phyra! You're okay! How did you get healed so fast? The doctors said your spine was broken." "That's.... a long story. One that I'll have to tell another time. Right now it looks like you guys could use some help defending Beacon." "So Phyra, what would you say we about this?" Blake asks. Phyra responds,"Well,we know their objective is taking Beacon so we have to hold them back. Hopefully we can also take down the Cyber-King during this fight as well." "But what about Yang? And Wiess?" "Maybe when we kill the Cyber-King they'll go back to normal. All of them. Or at least I hope so." The Cyber-King's army is getting closer and closer to Beacon. Phyra helps the others in figuring out a plan to stop the Cybermen. "So what's the plan here exactly?" "Well if the Cybermen are going to take Beacon they'll try to weaken the defnses. No doubt they'll start by sending something powerfull,probably these Cyber Grimms to try and weaken us. Then once we have been weakened they'll send in  hundreds of troops to deal with what's left.." "So what do we do?" "Easy. We make the Cyber-King send out the Cybermen in first. Either that or we take out the Cyber Grimms. I suggest going for the Cyber Grimms. After all they pse the greatest threat." "Guys! The army's getting closer!" shouts Jaune. "Come on! We need to set up those barricades!" Every student and teacher is helping to set up the defenses. By the time the barricades an dother defenses are set up,the Cyberman army has arrived. The Cyber-King steps forward and shouts to everyone behind the barricades,"This is ypur last chance Beacon! Surrender and be part of the new age!" Ruby shouts back,"We'd rather die than lose our humanity!" "Then regretably,I will take that option. CYBERMEN! Take aim! Fire!"The Cybermen activate the guns on their arms and fire at everyone on the other side of the barricades and the hunters and huntresses return fire. Several warriors on both sides are killed in the first firefight alone, approximately 500 on each side. The Cybermen advance further to the barricades,eventually reaching them. The Cybermen obliterate the barricades and engage Beacon's forces in close quarters combat. The Cybermen are mainly fighting with just punches blocking blade strikes with their arms alone considering how well armored they are. The Cybermen use their abillity to chanel an electric current through their hands to kill more hunters and huntresses. Beacon's defenders are doing the best they can to stop the Cybermen from taking Beacon and then Vale City.

Tears of the Cybermen
The battle rages on all across Beacon's grounds. Jaune and Phyra are taking down Cyberman after Cyberman but they have sustained damage to themselves. Jaune and Phyra have taken a real beating from the Cybermen. The Cyber-King sees their efforts and realizes that they could be a problem. He turns towards Yang and says,"Deal with them." Yang nods and rushes towards the two of them. The Cyber-Lord advances to deal with Blake and anyone else who might pose a problem to the success of this assault. The Cyber-King looks over at Wiess and says,"If you see Ruby,kill her." Wiess nods to the Cyber-King but she's still wondering about that message. Ruby is cutting down the Cybermen constantly and surprisingly she hasn't been hurt at all. Blake on the other hand has taken a beating like Jaune and Phyra. She has taken down several Cybermen though but then she's attacked by her former friend. Blake dodges the strike from the Cyber-Lord and tries her best not to strike back. Blake even tries to get to Velvet who she believes is still in there. "Velvet,stop this! This isn't you. We're friends remember?" The Cyber-Lord is unmoved and says,"Velvet was weak because of who she was. Her emotions and shyness mad her an easy target for people to subjugate her. I have NOTHING that can exploited against me." "Velvet,I know you're still there! You have to fight this!" "No, I don't." The Cyber-Lord uppercuts Blake sending her flying backwards. Blake tries to escape from the Cyber-Lord by fleeing into the other battles and it works. Yang jumps into the air and slams down between Phyra and Jaune. Phyra gets up and takes a defensive stance and tries to persuade Yang to stand down. "Yang, this isn't you! You're being controlled!" "So what? Once Beacon's destroyed, humanity will finally reach the peak of its evolution!" "Those aren't your words, their the Cybermen's!" Yang charges and tries to punch Phyra but she blocks it with her shield. Jaune staggers to his feet and rushes to help Phyra. Phrya swings her weapon to try and throw Yang off balance so she can knock her uncoscious. Yang jumps to the side and it looks like that that she's going to kill Phyra with a grin on her face. But Jaune comes behind her.taps her on the shoulder, and when Yang turns around hits her in the head with his shield. Yang staggers backwards;she starts to hold her hands to her head and shouts "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Yang is actually fighting the Cyber-connection that has her controlled. Yang is trying her best to avoid the battles on the campus and deal with her own fight. Ruby sees the Cyber-King standing next to Wiess and she rushes forward to try and kill the tyrant and help Wiess come to her senses. Ruby is extremely close to getting to them when a giant form drops from the sky. The Cyber-Wyvern roars and then flies back into the air. Penny,who was there since the fight began, uses the giant laser cannon function of her weapon and shoots down the monster. The ground erupts behind Penny and she now faces the Cyber-Behemoth. She jumps onto it's back,cuts its tail off, and stabs it in the head multiple times. Ruby sees her oppurtunity and takes it. Wiess jumps to intercept Ruby's attack but Ruby knocks Wiess aside. Ruby is about to strike the Cyber-King with Crescent Rose but the Cyber-King blocks it and then punches Ruby in the stomach. While she's daized,the Cyber-King kicks her away. When Ruby comes to her senses,the Cyber-King's blade is pointed directly at her chest. The Cyber-King looks down at her and says,"This ends now." Blake sees the helpless Ruby and tries to think of something to do when someone rushes past her. The Cyber-King jabs his sword forward and the entire battle freezes. Ruby and the Cyber-King are shocked as to what just happened. Ruby is unharmed but the Cyber-King didn't miss. Yang got in the way of the Cyber-King's attack and took it for Ruby. The Cyber-King removes the blade from Yang's back and backs away saying,"What a waste. One of the greatest warriors on both sides has been reduced to another body for the incinerator to burn." Ruby is holding Yang in her arms while Yang is dying. "Yang! Hold on! I'll get you back to the infirmary! Just hang in there!" Yang takes a shaky breath and says,"Ruby,I'm not going to make it. I 'm sorry for everything I did while under his control. Please forgive me." "Of course I forgive you Yang but you will  survive I promise!" "Ruby, we both know that's...not true." Yang begins to cough up blood. Yang looks right at Ruby and says,"Goodbye.... sis." Yang's eyes close and her arm falls to the ground beside her. Ruby looks at Yang through tear filled eyes and says,"Yang? Please no. No! No,please don't leave me! No Yang! Please no! NO!!!" The Cyber-King walks away completely unmoved but he's pondering how Yang broke free. of the Cyber-connection. He pieces it together that when Jaun hit Yang in the head with his shield;the transciever was damaged enough for Yang to break free. Wiess falls to her knees and begins to cry saying,"Why did I do this?! This is all my fault!" The hunters and huntresses all throw down their weapons and bow in respect for the fallen commrade. Jaune looks over at one of the Cybermen and sees that it's crying. The Cyberman then rips off it's arm cannon and throws it on the ground. All of the Cybermen follow it's lead even the Cyber-Lord,Velvet. Soon the Cybermen begin tearing off their own armor revealing who they were before they were converted which amazes the Cyber-King who says,"No,that's impossible! The process is IRREVERSABLE!"

Fiery Vengeance
Ruby continues to cry over Yang while Wiess finally come to her senses. She realizes the message sent by "Blake" was fake. It was nothing but propaganda to get her to severe all ties with Beacon. She turns to see Blake next to her and says,"I'm sorry Blake. So very sorry. I was weak and I let him take advantage of my weakness." "Wiess.it's ok. I forgive you. You were just another life that the Cyber-King planned to ruin." "Blake let's end this." "Wiess, I couldn't agree more." Wiess and Blake charge at the Cyber-King who grins as he pulls out a second sword. He fights both Wiess and Blake at the same time in a brutal fight. The Cyber-King counters every attack that the two huntresses make. Soon Wiess and Blake try to flank him from two different directions but he rotates his blades to both attack and defend. he then punches both of them in the stomach and kicks them away. the Cyber-King approaches them,picks uo their weapons,and stabs both of them in the shoulder with a grin on his face. He says to them,"That was a noble effort but I'm afraid futile none the less!" He activates two arm cannons which he plans to use to kill both of them but then he senses something. Wiess and Blake feel the same thing. They all look over to see Ruby standing up,her hood over her head, and Yang in her arms. Ruby turns toward the statue out in front of Beacon. Once she reaches it,she lays Yang down on it's base,takes one of her gauntlets,and crosses Yang's arms over her chest. Ruby then turns to face the Cyber-King;her eyes filled with fire and thought on her mind:revenge.

The Final Battle
The Cyber-King looks over at Ruby and sees that her Aura is different. "Well,that's new. I didn't realize it was possible for everyone at Beacon to lend you part of their own Aura. Though honestly,it doesn't matter. Soon you're going to end up just like Yang!" Ruby,enraged, rushes forward to engage the Cyber-King but when the Cyber-King is ready to counter ,she disappears. Ruby then comes behind him and punches him in the back. He's sent flying several feet and suffers greatly from the attack. It takes him some time to come to his senses. Ruby rushes him again and this time ounches him in the face with Yang's gauntlet. The Cyber-King's helmet becomes cracked and starts to bleed a strange silver substance,the blood of the Cybermen. Outraged,he rushes forward and tries to kill Ruby with his blade but Ruby dodges the attack,countering it with a large upward swing of Crescent Rose. The Cyber-King's chest now has a large gash in it .weakening him further. The Cyber-King swings his blade in a flurry of attacks,all of which are blocked perfectly. The Cyber-King swings his blade in a wide arch,but Ruby stops it with her arm alone. The Cyber-King begins to feel something he hasn't felt in a lonf time:fear. The Cyber-King jumps backfrom the stalemate and tries to stop the fight and make a deal with Ruby. "You and I are not that different,you know?! Both of us had to lose a loved one to unlock our true potential! We can end this fight peacefully. Just surrender and join the Cybermen!" Ruby shouts in reply,"The Cybermen are dead;you're fighting for a lost cause!" "Just because these Cybermen have undone the process,doesn't mean that the next wave of them will!" "There's only one way this will end Cyber-King! It ends when you're a corpse on the floor!" Ruby uses Crescent Rose and one Ember Cecilia to fire at the tyrant. He manages to dodge almost every shot,except for the last two. One shot impacts into his right shoulder;the other hits the craked side of the helmet,causing more damage to him. Silver blood now runs down the Cyber-King's face,who is now focused completely on Ruby's destruction. The blades of the Cyber-King's sword and Crescent Rose clash violently and neither of them seem to have gained an advantage. All of Beacon watches eagerly to see who the victor will be. Ruby and the Cyber-King force eachother away during one of their duels. The Cyber-King says,"Why don't we end this Ruby? Right here,right now!" "For once, I agree with you." Both of the combatants charge forward and draw their weapons. When they reach eachother,it looks like both of them have been impaled by the other's weapon. The Cyber-King grins but he soon realizes that he missed. Ruby forces Crescent Rose further into the Cyber-King's chest. The tyrant begins to cough up sillver blood as the blade is removed. Ruby then stabs him again and implaes him on the end of the blade. The Cyber-King says,"Go ahead. FINISH IT! But know that a mere sniper shot won't kill me." "You're right. But this isn't a normal sniper shot." The Cyber-King looks in horror at the barrel part of the blade he is impaled on. Ruby is focusing the Arua she has into the round she's about to fire. The Cyber-King tries despreatly to remove himaelf from the weapon but to no avail. Ruby feels a hand on her shoulder and turns to her right to see Yang. "Yang?!" "Let's finish this Ruby. Together." Yang puts her hand over Ruby's on the trigger of the gun and then they fire. A huge blast of energy engulfs the Cyber-King who is then sent flying into the sky. He tries to block the full force of the blast but does not succed. He shouts,"No! This isn't possible! YOU CAN"T WIN!" The Cyber-King then begins to disentergrate into rose petals. The blast subsides and the Cyber-King is no more. Ruby looks over to see that Yang is gone;she then collapses on to the ground.

Epilouge
Ruby wakes up in a hospital bed in the Beacon infirmary. To her left she sees Wiess asleep in another hospital bed and to her right she sees Blake looking out a window waiting for Ruby to regain consciousness. Blake sighs and says to herself,"I fonly there was something I could do;something i could do to save her but I couldn't. I failed both Yang and you Ruby." Ruby says,"Blake,it's not your fault." Blake turns quickly to see Ruby sitting up in her bed."Ruby! You're okay!" Blake rushes over and hugs her and says,"We were all worried you had died there." "But,I don't remember what happened. The last thing I do was.....YANG! Where is she?!" Blake sits next to Ruby's bed and sighs. She says, "I'm sorry Ruby but..... Yang's dead. But thankfully,you killed that tyrant before more innocent lives could be claimed. Everyone who was converted into a Cyberman regained their humanity thanks to Yang's sacrifice." Ruby looks over at Wiess and asks Blake,"Is she ok?" Blake responds,"The doctors say she'll live but she lost a lot of blood when she was stabbed. She's been out for the same time as you. Three weeks." "Three weeks?!" Ruby exclaims. "Yeah and in that time we've been fixing the damage that the Cybermen caused. Velvet came to see you to say thank you for freeing her from a living nightmare." A small smile appears on Ruby's face but then it disappears at the thought of Yang's death. Ruby would remain in this depression for three more weeks. During that time Ruby is plauged by nightmares of her failure to protect Yang. Wiess is also troubled by nightmares in which she is Yang's killer. Both would be draged out of their depressions when someone visits Beacon. This peron's name echoes across every planet in the galaxy. Many belive he is a demon,others say that he is a god. And this person would arrive in the strangest form of travel:a flying blue police box.

Roman's boss has called a meeting with him in a warehouse at the docks. Roman is forced to wait two hours until his employer arrives. Roman's employer is a tall man wearing a complete camoflauge millitary outfit. He is smoking a cigar as he walks into the warehouse. His eyes are blood red;these are the eyes of a Grimm. "Roman,I'm here to inquire about your progress." "Oh um..." "You have nothing to report,do you?" "No sir." The man sighs heavily and then says,"Roman,your incompetence amazes me sometimes! You can't even kill a young girl!" "Hey,I got close General!" "Yes but I'm afraid that isn't good enough!" "There was another one there!" "Your point being? You had the advantage! I am begining to wonder if I intrusted my money to a COWARD!" Roman,outraged by his boss calling him a coward, pins his boss to a wall by the throat with his cane. "Ah.ah,ah,Roman. Did you forget what happens to Cinder if you fail?" Roman releases the man who says," And now I am forced to reduce your pay!" "What? Why?" "One of the targets has already been killed!" "By who?" "That remains uknown to us currently. But this just means we have one less to deal with.  Anyway,since you obviously can't accomplish this mission on your own,I'm bringing in specialists." "Oh great. So when am I going to see them?" "They're already here." "Where are they?" "Well,there are three of them right above you." Roman looks up and sees something hanging from the cieling. In amazement he says,"What the heck?" and soon after three figures drop from the roof. They land perfectly on their feet and walk up to Roman. The figures are secluded in shadows until they walk into the light. They are wearing black business suits. Their skin is a ghostly pale color. They have only three fingers and no apparent nose or mouth. Roman says in shock,"What the heck are you?!" The figure speaks in a deep,emotionless voive and says,"We are the Silence. We have ruled your life since your life began."
