Chapter 158 - Vytal Festival Part 8

CLEAN-UP Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Vale, City's Center

Everyone was taking down the Grimm, still flooding through the hole, caused by Cinder's train. Split up allover the city center, almost park like area. Walkers and Atlasian soldiers providing the devils and huntsmen backup, and holding the line, not allowing any Grimm further into Vale. As Albedo with Morrigan were flying side to side, striking down the Grimm from above. Ranko and her brother Ranma were smashing the Grimm, with their martial arts skills. Alongside Ruruko, Yang, and Kaori. Tomoe, Murayama, Katase, Blake, Rubes, Fox, Miltia, and Kyoko were the blitzers, rushing and dashing throughout the area, cutting down beowolfs and boarbatusks in droves. Raven, Kneesocks, Zombina, Sona, Momo, Reya, Kodachi, Daki, Coco, and Nora acting as the magic or range support for the others. Tsubaki, Weiss, Ukyo, Katase, Cerberus, Mizore, Velvet, Daichi, Setsuna, Nero, Caulifla, Laharl, and Ruby Riotte were acting as the heavy-hitter and commanders in this battle. All the king taijitus, beowolfs, ursas, boarbatusks, beringels, lancers, and death stalkers were utterly exterminated by the large number of people fighting together. Plus the devils' magi-tech totally deciminating the Grimm, as the number of Grimm was lessening quickly.

After a while Laharl, he decided to end things. Cutting down beowolfs, lancers, and a death stalker in his way. His dragon partners, feeding on the dark energies of the Grimm. Making them quite pleased, activating a Flare-Up, and causing the cursed flames ignited more around his Vritra Zanbato. Taking out another death stalker, in one swing, igniting in dark flames, forcing it away. As Laharl's target was the hole and train. While getting closer, he ignited his left fist in hellfire, leaping over the hole and the exposed part of the train. Once high in the air, he banished his artificial sacred gear. Flipping upside-down, saying the line, "Here I come!!" diving straight down, with his fist ignited in hellfire, hitting the train with his Blazing Knuckles technique. Causing a huge fiery explosion. Eradicating all Grimm nearby, as a rising pillar of hellifire, along with a secondary explosion from the train. Not only melted shut the hole, but also got rid of the train. As it must of exploded underground, while also ending the reinforcements of the Grimm. Spreading his large devil wings, and his scarf covering those wings, Laharl flew out the fire pillar. Not showing any sorts of damage. This means that all that remains is to clean-up, the remnants of Grimm...

CELEBRATION AFTER THE CLEAN-UP Location Pizza Joint & Bar

After a few hours, Laharl and the rest of the devils, along with Team CFVY eliminated all remaining Grimm. Then they celebrated with Coco, and Velvet's team. Going out for some drinks and pizza. Coco, she'd forced Velvet to loosen up, and enjoyed the fun. And in that party, both Ren and Nora went over to Ranma. Accepting the offer to become devils, and making Ranma smile. He took the couple to a more private location of the place, reincarnation Ren as a Ranma's final bishop, and Nora as another pawn. Immediately they felt a surge of power, plus they are now immortal. Making them very happy, being able to be together for a long, long time. They'll check their new powers, and evolved Semblances, later. But Ren told Nora that she's not allowed to fly unless Ranma and the others, teach them. This made Nora whine a bit, but agreed to her boyfriend's condition. As the three young devils, joined the party again. That party was awesome, and after a while Coco became quite crazy cause of the alcohol...she, started slightly stripping, grabbed a mic from somewhere and sing happily. As she was getting more frisky, cause the buzz of alcohol.

Velvet, blushing trying desperately to stop Coco from making a greater embarrassment of herself. While Fox didn't cared. Using special earplugs to protect his sensitive ears, and drink quietly at the bar, with Setsuna, Morrigan, and Tsubaki. While Daichi, sighing he decided to help Velvet calm down Coco, before Coco did something she'll regret...again. All the while Laharl, and his girls were enjoying themselves with Tsubasa, Sona, and Ranma's peerage. As Tomoe and majority of Sona's peerage, they missed Kiba, even becoming emotional drunks. Making everyone laugh, as Velvet covered her face with her big bunny ears, out of embarrassment. All in all it was a good party. And once everything was done, Laharl will speak with Levi-chan, on what to do with Cinder. But for now let them, enjoy themselves without restrain. Because of them the Fall of Beacon, was completely retconed and all that was left was Salem.

CINDER'S FINAL FATE Location Remnant-Neo Anima, Neohaven: Krichevskoy Mansion, Backyard-Pool Area

A week later. Back in Laharl's mansion, in the backyard. Everyone was there, from Ranma, and Sona's respected peerage. This included Yang, Blake, Ren, Miltia, and Nora. Also there was Serafall in a orange colored themed, magic girl outfit, with her newly reincarnated knight, Raven Branwen. In front of all the devils, was a bonded, kneeling young woman. Surrounding the woman, was a magical devil glyph, sealing away her aura and magic. It was Cinder Fall, who also has her mouth gagged, since immediately after waking up. She started screaming, yelling, and cursing at them, making them annoyed so they shut her up. As the prinnies, provided them various drinks, from either alcoholic, and nonalcoholic for everyone. Nora, and Yang were soo glad that they can't get drunk, so easily anymore...especially Nora, who slightly got closer to Ren. Trying to subtlely to not reveal, her embarrassing drunk moment. Laharl, drinking a cold pepsi. He walked over to the Sitri sisters, and after taking a swing, before asking them, "What are we gonna do with this bitch?" this made Cinder let out a gagged roar. Which Sona, giving the unworthy "magic user" a scornful look, before slapping her. Making all her sister-lovers, cheer on the young Sitri heiress. Even Serafall was a bit proud, on how tough and mature, her So-tan is becoming. They discussed amongst themselves for a bit...and agreed, that no one wanted Cinder alive. Making Cinder unnerved, doubling her effort to escape. But the binds that held her in place, worked completely against her. She is screwed, but her cowardly nature, was driving her to run. Which made every devil, shake their heads at Cinder's futile attempts of escaping. So they decided to just kill her. They first looked at Laharl, that refused as much as he'd liked to do so, he couldn't risk Amber's soul essence. Understanding him, they decided to let another to kill Cinder. In the end, Miltia stepped up. Her claws, surging with magical devil power. Cinder, she desperately tried to free herself. Only for a claw to pierce her chest, right in the area of her heart. Swiftly her Cinder's life was fading away. Along with her Fall Maiden power, thanks to the glyph, that Sona and Raven designed together, it won't do the stupid thing. That if a Maiden is killed by another woman, she'll gain the power and responsibilities of a Maiden, instead...as the Fall themed colored magical aura, escaping Cinder's form. That power will return to its previous, and rightful owner. Who was currently, in a semi-comatosed state, underneath Beacon.

Location Beacon Academy: The Vault Amber was in soo much pain. Half her soul was still missing. As Ozpin, and Glynda visited the poor, extremely pale girl inside the pod of a sleek white, and green light machine. They've tried many things to help her. Ozpin, was seriously considering making the Maiden transfer with his chosen candidate, earlier. When Amber gasped and a orange, reddish-orange, and brownish caramel aura burst around her form. So intense was the light and power, that both grown adults and expert huntsmen, were forced back and shielded their eyes from the intense light. Blowing up, Ozpin's machine. Illuminating the entire green and black room, as Ozpin and Glynda were forced back some distance. As Amber emerged from the pod, she was floating above the metallic ground, as she descended and landed on the floor. The lights fading, revealing a revitalize Amber. Amber has regained her light brown complexion. Looking alive again, with her usual appearance of shoulder-length, straight brown hair. She has a beauty mark below her left eye. She used to wear a long, green hooded cloak on top of an off-white blouse with frill detailing on the shoulders, pleated lower half with a central split, alongside a brown vest that had three straps and golden lining around the collar. She has a dark brown corset with matching pants, as well as a pair of brown thigh-high boots with large cuffs and golden armour plating covering the boots up to her knees. She also has an amber pendant on her vest, a gold bracer on her left arm, and two gold bracelets on her right wrist. Finally, she has a golden spaulder on her right shoulder as well as a brown shoulder strap with some pouches slung diagonally across her body.

Once Ozpin and Glynda, they'd tried to approached the revived Amber. But the restored Fall Maiden's eyes rolled to the back of her head. And she'd fainted. Glynda, she rushed over and caught the young woman, before she'd hit the floor. Whatever has happened, Ozpin, he suspects that their devil friends might be responsible. But that's a matter for another time. Right now Amber well being was more important. As Glynda, she used her Telekinesis, to slightly levitate Amber and carry her away. With Ozpin right behind them, as they went to the infirmary to treat their recovered Fall Maiden.

Location Neohaven: Krichevskoy Mansion, Backyard-Pool Area Cinder, was dead. Laying lifeless on the grass, over a devil glyph. With her gone, that one last thing to worry about in Remnant. Next find wherever Neo was hiding, probably plotting against the one that killed Torchwick, meaning them. And lastly deal with Salem, which quite honestly the more easier task, honestly. Like Laharl and the others stated a couple times before, Salem was all-powerful, for her own world. In any other world, Salem she'd be super cooked. Ruby Riotte, laugh as she had a thought, and said to everyone, "You'd imagine Salem, in DC or even Dragon Ball Z?" everyone pictured it, and busted out laughing. With exception of Yang, Blake, Ren, Nora, Miltia, and Raven Branwen, who have no idea what DC or DBZ is. Ranma, Laharl, and Sona promise them, they'll show them later, as Raven walked over at Cinder's body. Casting a mid-level fire spell, setting the body ablaze. Not carrying anymore for the fallen villainess, the devils went back inside into the mansion. As Laharl, he lead the uncultured members of their group, showing them anime and comics... Serafall, joined in too!! Wanting to show them cinema of magical anime. Making Sona groaned in exasperation, while Laharl and his girls fought the erge to bust out laughing. Since aside the bootlick magical anime, that Levi-chan, must have collected in DXD world, Laharl, he was the one responsible for Serafall and Sona upgrade magi-girl collection. Zombina, pushed Sona forward, telling her to just enjoy herself. They made a big accomplishment, now it was time enjoy themselves, grinning widely with jagged sharp teeth showing. As Morrigan chuckled, and stated, "Zombi-Chan, we'd party a week ago already." making Zombina, wave her sister-lover like it wasn't important. So they went over to the Theater Room to watch true cinema.

Alone in her seat of power, Salem the Queen of the Grimm is enraged!! Watts, Hazel, Tyrian, and now Cinder all have gone silent. She has lost all contact with her inner-circle advisors. Her magical power, bursting fort and once again destroying all her stained glass windows, all the crystals around the room, and the once pristine long table that used to be in the center of the conference room... Her power tore it apart. Groaning in angry frustration, tightening her grip on her throne's armrest. Everything... Everything was going wrong, since the devils have appeared in the world. It didn't take a genius to realize, that her advisors, are most likely dead or captured. Salem, she was soo confident that this year. After soo long, she'll be finally free from this curse. And of Ozma once and for all. But now she, must plan for unknown amount of time to finally end this world, that has taken so much from her. Her marriage, her daughter, her life and even death. The Gods, have made her a never ending pawn, stuck in a war with Ozma. These thoughts cause another boute of anger, and her powers to bust out of her, in a uncontrollable wave. She was soo focused on her rage, and frustration, that she let her Grimm go wild. And let herself open, for invasion. As the devils, are pushing through the Land of Darkness, outside of her castle. But her focus was on her thoughts and complaints, that she'd barely noticed that she could see her breathe... That's when suddenly ice and frost is spreading throughout her conference room, and beyond...
