*a swarm of lancers and a queen lancer chases after Weiss as Haruto burns them into crisps*

3rd Person's POV:

Professor Lionheart sits in his office with his head in his hands, looking disturbed. He then flinches at the sound of magic in the room. He turns to where the sound came from to see Arunbura, showing off his magic skills. Someone then opens the door to the room, and that person is Dr. Watts.

Watts: Are we ready?

Another Pallad: She's already awaiting for your presence. 

Another Pallad then uses his Dark-like Parablagun as a walking stick. Lionheart lifts his head to look at Watts as he closes the door behind him and steps into the room. A brief exchange of looks is made as Lionheart turns his head away from Watts who smirks in response. The three soon enter a secret hallway adjacent to the office. At the end of the curved hallway is a circular room containing a Seer Grimm.

(A/N: Seer Grimm.)

Watts: After you.

Lionheart's POV:

Watts pushes me closer to the Seer Grimm.

Me: Your Grace, are... you there?

The red smoke-like substance contained in the head of the Seer Grimm shifts to form an image of Salem and Cinder at their location in Salem's Domain.

Salem: Hello, Leonardo. Do you have something to report?

Salem and Cinder are also looking through a Seer Grimm to communicate with me, Another Pallad and Watts.

Me: Of course, ma'am. I would not waste your time, if not.

Watts: I'm still just so fascinated by this creature. Cinder dear, are we coming through? (tapping the Seer) Can you see us clearly? Well, as clearly as you can.

Cinder: Shut... up.

Watts: Oh goody, you've recovered.

Another Pallad: Enough, Watts! I have been granted the rights to infect you whenever I want if you step out of Line!

Salem: Now, your report, Leonardo. What is it?

Me: I've... I've found the Spring Maiden.

Salem: Is that so? Well done. Arthur, had I known how useful you'd be in expediting this process, I would've sent you long, long ago.

Watts: As much as I'd love to take credit, ma'am, I can't say that either of us are to thank for this development. I guess you could say, a little birdie told us.

Salem: Explain.

Me: You see, ma'am, Qrow Branwen arrived at Haven Academy earlier today. He believes Spring has taken residence with his sister's tribe.

Cinder: Is... the girl... with him?

Watts: Yes, Miss Rose was in attendance, as well as the boy.

Another Pallad: The Fire Dragon is also with Qrow, your grace.

Salem: You know of the Maiden's and the tribe's location??

Me: Yes ma'am! Apollonir confirmed it. But, you have to hurry! Qrow is already at odds with my--

My about-to-finish info cause Salem ro make a face of annoyed concentration and in response one of the Seer Grimm's tentacles shoots out to wrap around my throat and choke me.

(A/N: That's how Salem's doing it.)

Salem: Leonardo, do you remember the first time we met? I remember. I remember your fear. But, since that day, you've been extraordinarily brave. I won't forget all that you've done for me. Do not forget everything that I can do to "you".

3rd Person's POV:

The Seer Grimm slowly brings the point of another tentacle close to the face of Lionheart before drawing it back. Within the orb of the Seer Grimm, Salem makes a gesture, and he tentacle simultaneously releases him from the chokehold. Lionheart coughs and gasps for breath.

Salem: Cinder, you and your team will meet with Doctor Watts, and together, convince Raven Branwen that the survival of her people depends on her cooperation. Once you have Spring under control, escort her to the Relic and contact Hazel. The White Fang was promised the destruction of Haven, and they'll have it once we have what we need.

Watts: Understood.

Salem: Not you, Arthur. Tyrian's in need of a new tail.

Watts: What happened to his old one?

Cinder: Guess.

Watts: The silver-eyed girl?

Another Pallad: No, it was the boy, but the girl could have done it. Never expected him to be extremely powerful... powerful than our strongest newbies and my Master.

Cinder's dons a terrified expression before she composes herself and nods in acknowledgement.

Watts: It will be done.

Salem: Good. 

Another Pallad: If it's suitable, mistress, I'd like to remain here. I'll keep an eye on the Professor.

Salem: Very well. Gemie~ wouldn't mind.

With that, the image of Salem disappears from the Seer Grimm to show the connection has ended.

Watts: Seems Qrow was right, Lionheart. The students aren't pushovers.

Another Pallad: Do you see now, Dr. Watts? If this puzzle is not looked, like what my Master said... it will be all of our problem and the puzzle would be broken... and we'd be knocked out. She is now Tyrian's problem and my problem, and soon a problem to the rest of your thoughts of the game.

Watts: Right....

Lionheart: Young man. I must know, who's--

Another Pallad: Gemie? Well, it's Gemdeus Machina to you... you haven't seen him in person yet so, consider yourself lucky. But do know that he is your other and new master like Salem. And you wouldn't want to piss him off....

In Salem's Domain, Cinder is clearly unhappy.

Salem: You're free to speak your mind.

Cinder: I don't understand. Working with bandits? Keeping Ruby and Shadow alive? What's the point? We're strong enough to take what we want by force!

Salem: Never underestimate the usefulness of others. Take Leonardo; he was one of Ozpin's most trusted, and yet now... 

Salem chuckles shortly before she continues what she is saying.

Salem: You will have the power I promised you, when the time is right. But remember that it comes with a cost. If Ruby Rose has learned to harness her gift, then you must take care to protect yours. But it's Shadow Wrath you should be most wary of. Combined with the powers he got from the Winter Maiden, his..... Semblance is also unlike any other... to surpass me and your other master. He would be a formidable foe to mettle with, even with your Maiden powers.

Cinder contemplates on her thoughts for a moment before she bows to Salem and goes to exit the room.

Salem: And Cinder, before you go, inform Tyrian...  that I wish to have a word with him.

Cinder smiles, nods in acknowledgement of Salem's order and turns, leaving the room. A few seconds, she disappears from view. As Cinder disaopeared, Salem then sighed, in which Gemdeus Machina took notice of as he appeared in front of her, unknowingly.

Gemdeus Machina: You seemed troubled, my dear.

Salem: (sighs) I'm not sure if we are going to win this war, Gemie. As after all, claiming the relics are easy,... but harnessing their powers? (Scoffs) this is something that needs to be done which none of us have done yet.

Gemdeus Machina: Have no fear, Salem. You are going to achieve your goal, and the goal you'll achieve. And when we have them all, we will be unstoppable!

He says this as his eyes glow bright blue in a menacing way.

----MEANWHILE----

Weiss's POV:

As the cargo ship flies over Lake Matsu, I am still sitting on one of the large crates in the cargo hold, still sombering  over being unable to help the Mistralian cargo pilots. While sombering, I suddenly noticed to my right a series of landmasses floating in the bright blue, partly cloudy sky, with what appears to be black crystals jutting out from the bottom of the rock formations.

Puzzled, I decided to head into the pilot's cabin. 

Me: Where are we?

Pilot: Nowhere good. We're passing by some of Lake Matsu's floating islands. The gravity Dust that forms in these things is giving us a little turbulence. Don't worry. It's nothing I can't handle, but the islands sometimes hide some nasty Grimm. 

As I walked toward the pilot, outside, an airship is seen quickly heading towards them, on fire, and leaving a giant trail of smoke behind it.

Pilot: I'm just betting on our friends in distress keeping them preoccupied.

I then suddenly noticed a heavily damaged airship flying straight towards us to the right.

Me: Look out!

3rd Person's POV:

The airship comes barreling from their right, narrowly hitting their cargo ship and forcing the pilot to pull upward to avoid it. The doomed craft, bearing a white symbol for Mistral on its sail, proceeds to collide into one of the floating islands.

Pilot: You've got to be kidding me!

The pilot then decides to switch back to the radio, listening in for nearby transmissions.

Mistral Pilot: By the gods, we've lost Percy! Help!

Another Mistralian airship, pursued by a swarm of wasp-like Grimm, is suddenly hooked from multiple directions by their extendable stingers, which leaves them trapped and unable to move.

Mistral Pilot: We're hooked! We're hooked!

As the pilot makes a frantic call, the wood on the ship's exterior begins to crack, as the insects grappling on the ship pull very tightly.

Mistral Pilot: Everyone, abandon ship!

Capitalizing on their fear, one of the Grimm somersaults into the air and dive-bombs into the top of the ship, as the pilot and everyone on board perishes in the ensuing explosion. The rest of the Grimm following this turn their attention to and pursue their airship.

Pilot: Lancers, freaking Lancers! Alright buckle up-- Huh?

(A/N: Lancers.)

He turns to speak to Weiss and Stormlight, only to see them jump down a hatch into the cargo hold, as they are determined to stop the swarm.

Pilot: (over an intercom speaker) What are you doing?

Weiss: What we should've done in the first place! You're carrying Dust, right?

Pilot: Officially, no. Actually, yes.

Weiss opens a large container of vials of powdered Dust and loads her dust-rapier with six of them.

Weiss: Then when I tell you, open the rear door!

Pilot: Better make it quick!

The pilot makes multiple evasive maneuvers, but the Lancers gain on the ship and begin to shoot their stingers at it.

Pilot: Kid, we're cutting it close!

Weiss Summons a black glyph underneath her to keep her stuck to the ship as she readies her sword in front of her.

Weiss: Ready!

The cargo doors open and the battle begins. Weiss is using her Glyphs and Wind Dust to push back the Lancers with a gust of wind. She then summons an orange glyph and uses red Dust to shoot fireballs at the swarm, at least one of which succeeds in eliminating one of the Grimm.

Pilot: Haha! Hold on!

The airship does a sudden turn in the air next to a floating island before evening out again. Once even, Weiss summons five white glyphs which she uses to launch icicles out of them while the cargo ship dives, eliminating five Lancers in the process.

While defending the ship, Weiss is then knocked off balance when the cargo ship suddenly rocks.

Weiss: Ah! What was that?!

Pilot: We're hooked!

The outside of the airship has two Lancers firmly planted on top of it before the rest of the swarm gains on the cargo ship once more, with some of the Grimm flying alongside it.

While Weiss was trying to figure out how to get them off of them, someone walked past her as he was about to jump out of the ship.

Weiss: What are you doing?!

???: Giving you a hand! HENSHIN!

Weiss watched on as the person uplaced his ring in front of his belt as a dragon made of flames appeared out from the belt and burnt him. But, to my great shock, he didn't get burnt to ashes, instead he turned into some red-armoured huntsmen, like Ruby, but different as he had a red crystal-like ring for a head.

-Flame, Dragon: Bou-Bou, Bou-Bou-Bou!-

(A/N: Kamen Rider Wizard: Flame Dragon Style/Mode.)

Wizard: Kamen Rider Wizard. Now, it's showtime.

He closes his eyes behind his rider form as he tried concentrating to find and shoot the lancers that tried to hook themselves into the ship by wielding WizarSwordGun. Hearing the short buzz coming from the Lancers' wings, Wizard instantly delivered fast and deadly shots at them. After making sure the roof of the ship is clear, Wizard used his aerobatics and some acrobatics skills to bounce and strike the lancers, killing them instantly, to Weiss' shock.

Weiss: H-H-How did you--

???: Silver is their weakness. Silver Eyes, Silver Armoured Warriors, Silver used in the use of Weapons and many more are their weakness. And I'm one of those warriors that weild that kind of power.

Weiss: Really? Well, that's good to know. Can you find a pair of islands we can fit between?

The cargo ship is turned and travels toward a pair of closely adjacent, interconnected islands.

Wizard: I think I know what you're up to. You are luring them to a trap.

Weiss: Exactly.

Pilot (Through comms): Kid, you are reading my mind!

As the cargo ship narrowly avoids the close islands walls and the attacking Lancers, Weiss fires three fireballs from her glyphs, while Wizard uses his WizarSwordGun in its gun form to fire out Silver bullets to destroy an overhanging rock formation and the Grimm, which causes debris to fall and kill the attacking Grimm.

Pilot: Yeah! Great going! We are in the clear!

Wizard then looks down as he sighs in relief, with Weiss doing the same. But immediately after Weiss exhales in relief, a Lancer significantly larger than the rest suddenly appears outside the cargo doors.

Weiss: It's a Queen Lancer!

Pilot: What?!

Wizard: How ironic.... good thing I got this ring.

(A/N: Special Rush Ring.)

(A/N: Queen Lancer.)

Wizard utilizes his ring as he utilizes his WizarSwordGun once again as he shot silver bullet rounds at the Grimm, while Weiss fires five cyan lasers which hit the Grimm to no effect. The Queen Lancer reacts to the attack by launching multiple bone spikes from multiple opened holes in its body toward the cargo ship. Weiss swings Myrtenaster and leans away, a pale blue dome appearing in front of her and blocking the spikes that were aimed at her, while Wizard just deflects them all with his weapons that he copied by usig the Copy Ring. The rest of the spikes impale various parts of the ship, two of them landing in two exhaust ports in the back of the ship and causing explosions.

(A/N: Copy Ring.)

Pilot: Do something!

Wizard turns behind him to see the Dust crates and the crate that he's been hiding behind as an idea occured to him.

Wizard: Use the crates! Hit it with everything we got!

Weiss nods and immediately jumps onto a white glyph which she uses to propel herself behind the crates of Dust cargo, cutting the crates' restraint as she does so. From her new position, using five white glyphs, she throws most of the Dust crates out of the cargo doors and at the Queen Lancer. 

Once the crates near the Grimm, Wizard fires a round from his weapon, and the Dust creates a large explosion containing fire, ice, crackles of electricity and a cyan shockwave which travels outward from the impact point. From the smoke following the explosion, the Queen Lancer advances apparently undamaged, causing a shocked reaction from Weiss.

Pilot: I can see the shoreline! Gods, we're not gonna make it!

Regaining her composure and a determined look, Weiss prepares to Summon, surprising Wizard. Once Summoned, the Arma Gigas enters a battle-ready pose. Wizardsmirkedbehind his rider form as he used his special ring to activate one of his powerful Dragon Mode Armaments. While doing so, Weiss calls out to the pilot to pull up immediately.

-Special Rush, Please: Flame, Water, Hurricane, Land!-

(A/N: Kamen Rider Wizard - ALL Dragon form.)

Weiss: Pull up, now!

The pilot causes the cargo ship to pull up and ascend further into the air, before maneuvering to have the vehicle upside down.

Wizard: I'll assist your Summon. So, focus and concentrate!

Before Weiss could even retort, Wizard and Weiss' summon leave the vehicle and dive toward the Queen Lancer. Once they have begun to dive, Weiss moves her head down toward her weapon and closes her eyes to concentrate. After its initial dive, the Arma Gigas turns in the air, summons its weapon, and reenters the dive again with its blade ready.

Weiss concentrates and Resummons the Arma Gigas in order to change its position from above the Queen Lancer to underneath. From its new position, it ascends to attack the Queen Lancer from behind, while Wizard still flying down in a faster speed strikes from the front.

The summoned knight is then Resummoned multiple times to different positions adjacent to the Grimm to attack it from multiple angles, while Wizard uses his Finisher to dash around the air to do the same. After Wizard's last attack in the combo, he then flies back into the ship. But just as he was about to land inside thship, the Queen Lancer fires its stinger at him, causing Weiss to call Wizard by his Rider name.

Weiss: WIZARD!!!

Wizard manages to deflect it in time, but the stinger managed to damage him by his arm, and heavily impact one of the wings of the airship. Wizard grunts in pain behind his rider form, and decides to grabs its tail as it retracts back quickly to the Queen Lancer.

Wizard: If I go down, then I'll take you down with me! (Looks at Weiss) It's Haruto Soma. Also known as Kamen Rider Wizard, and now, the finale!

He places his ring in front of his Belt as it activates his finisher.

-Chōīne, Special Rush! Saikō!-

Using the momentum of Queen Lancer retracting its tail, Wizard slices the Grimm one last time, causing it to dissipate. Weiss watched in horror as Wizard flies down as he plunges down into the waters of Lake Matsu. Weiss' knees nearly buckle from extreme shock as small tears starts running down her cheeks.

Weiss: No......

A large amount of smoke trails from the cargo ship, its alarms blaring. Weiss, her eyes still glazed with tears, realizes the state of the vehicle and the Pilot's lack of control, and Summons multiple large black glyphs in the path of the cargo ship in an attempt to slow its sudden descent, but it's not enough to prevent it from crash landing.

----MEANWHILE----

Inside the White Fang headquarters, Adam Taurus kneels before Sienna Khan, who is sitting on a throne flanked by two guards on either side of her.

Sienna: Adam. I'm not going to repeat myself, so I want you to listen when I tell you that the White Fang will not attack Haven Academy. 

Adam: High Leader Khan, I am begging you.

Sienna: You should beg for forgiveness and nothing else! The assault you led on Beacon was not the great victory you clearly think it was, and you should be more grateful your punishment was not more severe. You are a symbol for many in our organization, but that doesn't make you infallible.

Adam: I was merely trying to follow your example, High Leader.

Sienna: And what example might that be?

Adam: Strength. Strength and unwavering conviction. The humans have seen that strength now.

Sienna: I was one of the first to suggest violence where violence was necessary, and it was also the reason why  Peace bred complacency and acceptance of our place in the world. I will not allow humanity to push us down without pushing them back. But the destruction of the Huntsman Academies crosses a line! The loss of the CCT has brought global communication to a crawl! And the White Fang is more of a target now than ever before! You have justified humanity's campaign against us, and for what?! Empty promises from a group of humans? Humans we still know nothing about, and come and go as they please! These are not examples of strength, Adam. They are examples of your talents being diminished by shortsightedness!

Adam: If you want to know more about the humans, then why not talk to one of them yourself?

Adam rises and turns toward the entrance to the room.

Adam: Hazel!

Hazel then opens the doors and enters the large room.

Hazel: Took you long enough.

As Hazel enters, Sienna rises from her seat and her guards all point their spears toward Hazel.

Sienna: What is this?!

Hazel: Apologies. I don't aim to cause any trouble.

Sienna: You've brought a human to this location?

Adam: You should hear what he has to say.

Sienna: This is grounds for execution!

Hazel: Ma'am, please. Nobody needs to die today.

Hazel tries to reassure this going by going as far by kneeling before the High Leader.

Hazel: I'm just asking for a moment of your time.

Sienna: The longer you stay here, the less of a chance you have of leaving alive.

Hazel: I'll take those chances, if you don't mind.

Sienna sits back down, her guards return to their neutral position and Hazel rises again before continuing to speak.

Hazel: You don't like me. You have no reason to like me. But you don't have to like me to get the results you want.

Sienna: I'm starting to doubt either of you fully comprehend what it is that I want. I want humanity to fear the Faunus, to know that we demand respect! I do not want to start a war with the humans that we cannot win!

Adam: That's where you're wrong.

Sienna and Hazel focus on Adam who begins to advance toward Sienna while continuing to speak.

Adam: We can win a war against the humans. Not only because we have the support of Hazel's master, but because the Faunus are the dominant species of this planet. We're better than humans. We have everything humans have and more. Humans shouldn't just fear the Faunus, they should serve the Faunus. 

Sienna: I've had enough of this conversation for tonight. Guards, take them away.

Despite the order, the guards remain stationary in their posts.

Sienna: I said, take them away!

Adam: I will admit, Sienna, you were right about my popularity. My followers in Vale already see me as the true High Leader. And many here in Mistral feel the same.

Four armed White Fang soldiers enter through the main doors and stop, pointing their weapons into the room as Sienna rises to her feet.

Hazel: What are you doing?

Adam: What's right for the Faunus. From this day forward, I will be the one to lead the White Fang.

Four more soldiers reveal themselves with their weapons drawn, two on each side of the room, as Sienna's guards point their weapons at her. Sienna quickly judges the situation, though taken by surprise. Her eyes narrow darkly.

Sienna: If you think I'll just step aside and follow beneath you, you're wrong.

As she turns toward him, Sienna is impaled by Adam's weapon.

Adam: I know.

He lifts the blade, making it slide deeper into Sienna's body and lifting it off the ground. Fists clenched, her body shakes from the damage and Adam takes advantage of her closer proximity to rest a hand on her shoulder and speak into her ear.

Adam: Thank you, Sienna. You were there when our people needed you, but they need me now. I'm sorry you couldn't see this through to the end.

Sienna growls at this and lifts her hand to claw at Adam's neck. Before she makes contact Adam swiftly removes his weapon from Sienna, causing her body to fall to the ground and roll to the bottom of the steps leading up to her throne. The White Fang soldiers begin to withdraw their weapons as Hazel looks down upon her body before returning his sight back to Adam with an annoyed look.

Adam: Give our former leader a proper burial. All who were here tonight will claim that Sienna was murdered by a human Huntsman. Sienna Khan will become a martyr for our cause, her final act as High Leader.

All of the White Fang soldiers leave the room, two carrying Sienna's body with them on a stretcher, leaving Adam and Hazel the only ones remaining.

Hazel: When were you planning on telling me about that?

Adam withdraws a cloth from his back pocket and slides it across his sword's blade, cleaning it of Sienna's blood.

Adam: This was my business, not yours.

Hazel: It's our business now, and I don't appreciate you withholding things like that.

Adam: Your master was concerned with Sienna's willingness to cooperate. Now she doesn't have to be.

Hazel: Nobody needed to die today.

Hazel leaves the room in disgust as Adam sits down on the throne.

Adam: I... disagree.

As Adam said those words, unknowing to them, someone and something are watching him outside The White Fang Headquarters as they watched on without getting watched.

???: (sighs) looks like he outdone himself...

??? 2: Yeah... our old team and our friend wouldn't like that, eh, Ankh?

Ankh: Yeah. They wouldn't like that. (Eats Ice Candy while watching) Eiji, let's go to Menagerie. I feel Graphite's presence there. He can help out.

(A/N: Ankh.)

As he said that, they simply walked away from the Headquarters to head towards Menagerie.

Eiji: Yeah. Let's go there.

(A/N: Eiji Hino.)

---Timeskip---

Haruto's POV:

I walked to shore in my Water Dragon form as I de-Henshin myself and walked into the forest to find White Hair. As I walked through the green, I notice a trail of black smoke ahead of me, that was when I realized the ship I was in crashed. So, I followed it, hopefully it would lead to her and the crash site. After arriving at the crash site, he sees Weiss is lying injured on the ground with clothes dirtied. Before I could even walk up to her and help, I heard footsteps and hid behind a tree.

Weiss raises her head up weakly, to see two men walking towards her.

Weiss: Help... please.

Bandit: What do you think?

Raven then approaches from behind to take a position in between the two bandits and directly above Weiss.

Raven: I think... we just hit the jackpot.

Weiss' face turns to one of concern as she looks up at Raven, who stomps on her face, causing her to lose consciousness. 

Me: You lil' chick bastard. Heh, time I follow you for a bit.
