Falke and Winter look to the other side of the large room to see a white-skinned woman in an inky black dress. She has pale white skin and black veins coming from her void-like eyes. She stands over Cinder and Neo as they begin to wake up from being flung through the portal by Falke.
Cinder: "Mistress Salem? I had no idea you would be coming here."
Salem: "Fear not, Cinder. While I should punish you for failing to get the powers of the Winter Maiden and single-handedly jeopardizing my plans. I'll allow it to slide as not only have you brought me the Spear of Creation, but you have also brought me the Sword of Destruction." Pointing her claw-like finger at the Yamato in Falke's hand.
Cinder: "So that blade isn't just any blade." She glares at Falke.
Falke: "I told you. You were outmatched from the start."
Salem: "Yes, the Sword of Destruction's power is unmatched compared to the other relics. A Maiden's power alone stands no chance. So now, if you two wish to keep your lives, you'll hand over the relics."
Falke: "If you want them...then you'll have to take them. But you knew that already didn't you."
Salem: "Think your decision over carefully. You don't know the power that I possess."
Falke: "All I see is an old lady who is in dire need of her midday nap."
Salem: "You dare mock me, child."
Falke: *In a childish voice* "You dare mock me, child." Winter covers her mouth as she lets out a slight snicker which catches Falke's attention. "Did you just laugh? No, no, don't hide it. You just laughed."
Winter: "Of course not. Stop being so childish, brother. We have an opponent in front of us." Drawing her saber.
Falke: "You still have enough left to fight because I don't want to make you look too bad." Drawing Yamato from its sheath as he holds the spear in his other hand.
The two rush towards Salem as Winter uses her maiden powers to fly ahead as Falke cuts through tendrils of black essence with blade and spear. As he dodges the swipes of tendrils, they become overwhelming as he gets smacked away by one.
Vergil (mental): "Use the power of the Yamato to blink out of reality to dodge oncoming attacks while also having the advantage of being prepared to attack. I believe Dante called it a 'Trick dodge'."
Getting up, he focuses as a tendril goes to skewer him. He phases out and then back in as he dodges the attack by side-stepping the tendril. He smirks as he begins closing in on Salem using a combination of Yamato slashes, spear thrust, and trick dodges to close the distance. Winter continuously barrages Salem with an ice blast from her saber. Unknown to her, Falke leaps off a deflected ice blast. Spinning in midair, he mimics a saw as slashes from both sword and spear combined launch Salem back.
Winter: "Where did you learn to wield a spear like that?" Landing next to him.
Falke: "I'm married to the Mistral Champion. You think I wouldn't have picked up a few tricks." First, using the Yamato, he slashes the gate made by the Relic of Creation. Then using it, he opens a portal. "But no time for that. We got what we came here for. Let's get out of here."
Winter: "Wait, where does this lead, and did you say married?" Salem is starting to pick herself up.
Falke: "No time to explain, big sis, we're leaving." Pushing her through the portal, quickly following behind.
As Salem stands up, her wounds closing due to her being immortal, she expresses a face of mild anger. Neo, carrying Cinder, walks over to her.
Cinder: "My mistress, are you alright?"
Salem: "My condition doesn't matter. Cinder, I want you to find out who that was and who is connected to him. I want that blade, and if that means we kill everyone, he loves to do so. Then so be it."
Back in Vacuo
Ky's ship lands in front of the large group of refugees as team CFVY, Qrow, Raven, and Pyrrha exit. Pyrrha instantly gets tackled in a hug by both Team RWBY (except Yang, obviously), Nora and Ren.
Ruby: "Pyrrha! You're alive! We missed you so much!"
Nora: "I missed my girl teammate! Ren's a real handful."
Blake: "It's so good to see you."
Weiss: "Well... it is nice to see you...again."
Ruby: Standing up from the dogpile, "Wait, what do you mean again?"
Before Weiss could answer, a dark blue portal opens up as Winter stumbles through it. Going down to one knee, she breathes heavily.
Winter: "You didn't tell me that it would be nauseous to use the portal." Falke walks out of the portal with both Yamato and Spear of Creation in his hands.
Falke: "Aw, com one sis. I thought you were some big Atlas specialist. One would think you'd be able to handle being nauseous." Lightly patting her back as he helps her up, de-summoning the portal. "Besides, if we used tried to use the other portal, she'd follow us through, my portals are mine to control."
Looking out in front of him, he sees the faces of both Team RWBY and his old team members, and the rest of the refugees look at him as he holds two Relics in his hands.
Falke: "Is everyone alright!?" He's met with murmurs and half-hearted answers. A random civilian steps forward.
???: "Who's asking? We all saw you make that portal and beat back that lady with the fire. So why didn't you help us when ironwood decided to destroy our homes and try to kill us?"
The crowd becomes louder as they begin to question Team RWBY about why they had to follow through these portals all the way to Vacuo. As the group becomes angrier as the young huntresses are not answering their questions, a wave of air quiets the crowd as the large grey, and blue Demon stands in Falke's place.
Demon/Vergil/Falke: "ENOUGH! My name is Falke Schnee Branwen, son of Willow Schnee and Qrow Branwen, Wielder of the Blade of Destruction, and if it weren't for the huntsmen before you. All of you would've been killed by either the general you thought would protect you or the Grimm queen who seeks your destruction. You owe them your lives. They brought you here because this is the only safe place left in this world. If you don't like that." He opens a portal with the Yamato. "I can send you back to Atlas, where you'll most likely die to Grimm. Or I send you to Mistral, where you're more likely to be killed by White-Fang or Bandits, or perhaps I can just send you to Vale. Your choice."
The group goes silent as he transforms back to his human form.
Falke: "Good. Now ships from Shade Academy will be here soon to pick you all up and take you to safety. But, until they arrive, it's imperative to keep calm and don't let negative emotions run rampant, as that'll attract Grimm."
Ren: "Too late." Pointing behind Falke, a large horde of flying Grimm are approaching.
Falke: "Good...I need stress relief."
Getting in a stance low to the ground, the area around him darkens as electricity arcs around him.
Vergil/Falke: "Slay...All."
As Falke stands up after, in the blink of an eye, destroying all the Grimm. He turns back towards the group of Atlas refugees.
Falke: "Now, are there any more questions?"
