The Brawler Of Vestroia And Remnant

Death Comes

Ruby turns around and sees Serious!Braedey approaching her. "You're not doing this..." Serious!Braedey says.

"But–" Ruby tried to respond.

"...alone." Serious!Braedey interrupted.

Ruby looks at him for a while... then smiles.

The door of the air bus opens and out comes Falconeer, carrying Ruby in his arms as he flies to the ship Ironwood wished to go back to.

Falconeer then lands on the roof of the ship with a thud as he drops Ruby carefully. "Think they'll be fine?" Ruby asks.

"I left the other me in charge!" Falconeer replied. However, a couple of Griffons started dropping by and surround the duo.

Falconeer and Ruby go back to back as the alien brings out his energy whips while Ruby takes out Crescent Rose. "Whip Flash?" Falconeer asked his teammate, referring to one of their combos.

"Whip Flash." Ruby replied...

...and the duo engaged the Grimm.

Ruby slashes down one of the Griffons but it barely grazed it. She then backflips to dodge an attack from the beast and starts shooting at it. Meanwhile, Falconeer is flying around the ship while a Griffon is chasing after him. Falconeer then turns around and opens his mouth, blasting the Griffon right at it's face with a fireball from his mouth. It did not damage the beast, but it was enough to daze it. With the creature flying wildly, Falconeer brings out his fire whips and uses it to slap down the Grimm and caused it to crash into a different Griffon, both of them plummeting to the ground.

Ruby managed to kill the Griffon she was fighting earlier but then a second one lands behind her and she dodges an attack from it. Falconeer lands behind her and ties his whip to Ruby's scythe. Then, with Ruby holding on to Crescent Rose while it's tied up with the whip, Falconeer spins Ruby around, gaining speed until he throws Ruby at the creature while at the same time turning off his energy whip to free Ruby. With enough speed, Ruby does a spin move while speeding up to the Griffon and she managed to slice it in half.

Falconeer turns back to human form and approaches the dizzy Ruby. "Let's not... try that again..." Ruby asks.

Serious!Braedey sighs. "Very well." He replied.

However, their moment was interrupted when they hear a snap from a scroll. Serious!Braedey and Ruby look to where it came from and saw Neo, now in her normal attire. She crops the image and sends the image of Ruby to Roman. She keeps Braedey's image. After doing so, she winks at Braedey, not aware that this one is a clone.

"Her again? Seriously?" Serious!Braedey complained.

Ruby fires at Neo, only for "Neo" to shatter as it was just her illusion again.

She then is now sitting on Serious!Braedey's shoulder and she winks at him again.

Right outside of Beacon's dining hall, Blake Belladonna backs away from the shattered window, staring in horror at her old partner.

"Running away again? Is that what you've become, my love? A coward?" Adam asks as he sheathes his sword.

Blake is still backing up as she stares at him. "Why are you doing this?!" She asks.

"You and I were going to change the world, remember? We were destined to light the fires of revolution!" Adam boasts as an Atlas student tries to crawl away from him, but Adam steps on his gut, takes out his blade and prepares to stab the innocent person. "Consider this... the spark." He says.
