RWBY: Multiverse Destruction

Chapter 49: Eclipse

Scarlet was going under as bubbles escaped her mouth and nose as she started to see things, the seaweed wrapped around her ankles, wrists, waist and throat. Only to turn into hands of the dead she had killed. Then she heard his voice the voice of death.

"....Scarlet..... You're proving to be a throne in my side yet again...." The God of Death Forgotten appeared before Scarlet as he floated in front of her under the ocean water. ".....This death shall be what ends your rampage.... Dying by the hands of those you've killed..."

Scarlet felt her throat get tighter as she turns her head to see Yang there, she was the one strangling her. Yang's eyes were red with anger as her hair was brighter due to the anger, it almost made her look like a Super Saiyan. "YOU! You've killed us all, no mercy... No second chances, you just kill for the fun and thrill of it all!" Yang growls as her grip on Scarlet's throat got tighter. "How would you feel if we killed you instead?!"

Scarlet's eyes glowed blood red as her right hand was pressed against Yang's breast as she out from the back of Yang came the spiral beam of magic, which killed the illusion of Yang. However it there were still illusions around, the hands wrapped around her ankles belonged to Erza and Esdeath. As for the ones around her wrist they belonged to Black and Salem, her eyes adjusted to look back at Forgotten who had a blood red smile and blood glowing eyes. He reached out and grasped her neck since Yang's illusion was gone.

"Die you worthless Grimm!" Forgotten spoke as he grins wider his blood red eyes peering into what little soul she had, her dark black soul. "....As for your soul..... I will take it for myself and be sure that you never live again...."

Scarlet gasped for air as water went down her gullet and into her lungs. The salty water filled her stomach to the the brim where it started to expand her gut, Forgotten's grin got wider and wider. "You will die in this world.... And you will join the others you've killed to be tormented for eternity!"

Scarlet struggled as she broke her wrists and ankles, she slipped them out as she bashes her head against Forgotten's only to cause herself to bleed instead. "You're not real! None of this is real!"

Forgotten grins more as he went down into the deep dark ocean taking Scarlet with him. "....Then allow me to make you realize.... That this isn't fake.... You can't get rid of me so easily....."

Scarlet growled as she claws at his arm as she noticed skin flakes come off of his arm, she kept clawing at his arm until it broke. The Grimm girl pulled Forgotten's hand off of her neck and threw it aside, once everything was clear. She noticed that what had been dragging her down was a giant squid, this angered her as a sphere of Grimm waste formed around her sealing her inside as it rose up out of the ocean depths.

"Ed, what do you mean by that? We clearly saw Ais stab her through the heart." Lili said. "What are you not telling us?"

Ed clinched his fist as he had his metal arm reattached. "That girl you all saw.... Her name is Scarlet Rose.... No doubt about it, that was her.... I didn't want to believe it myself when I saw her... But when she started to talk.... I was hit hard like rusted nails in a wooden coffin." He looked at Hestia. "She was trying to kill Bell from the look of things. She's killed others.... Don't ask me how I know, it's just.... I could hear screams of pain and agony coming from her... lost souls that never got to be free..."

Hestia was pale in the face as she gulps. "S-She's a killer."

Ed nods his head. "She killed my best friend Winry.... She killed everyone else in my world... she didn't kill me or my brother Al." He looked at Al's helmet as he glances down at the floor. "She devours anyone who she sees fit to be a meal. Sometimes you're lucky on not being food, and sometimes you're not so lucky...."

"Oh my God." Welf said. "That's down right mass murder."

"Yeah, now comes the part I mentioned." Ed said as he lifts his head up. "She's immortal, nothing can kill her."

Bell tried putting the puzzle together as it snaps into reality. "She was burned by my fire magic, and the monsters she killed tried to kill her."

Ed glances at Bell as Loki walked into the guildhall with Ais. "Well I say we give her everything we've got until we're certain she can't regenerate."

"THAT WON'T WORK!" Ed snapped loudly as he had his blade out on his arm up to Loki's throat.

"Easy Ed." Hestia said.

Ed pulled away from Loki as he took a deep breath. "Sorry.... I don't know what came over me just then."

Loki looked at everyone and then at Ed, she shook her head a little. "It's fine, so what do you suggest we do then? You're the Fullmetal Alchemist here."

Ed thinks for a moment as he leans against the wall, then there was the sound of splashing water as Hestia looked outside to see the Grimm sphere float into the air, Ed glances outside to see it as well. "She's back.... She's inside that thing."

"Is that sphere healing her? Have you seen this before Ed?" Loki asked as she looked over to him.

Ed shakes his head. "No, this is new.... just like that form she has, it's new to me... Long silver hair, horns... Those Grimm eyes.... and now a Grimm sphere.... just what the hell is going on?"

The Grimm sphere was indeed healing Scarlet, but question was how did it come about and where did the Grimm waste come from? It didn't matter to anyone in town but it almost covered up the suns light making a eclipse of sorts the sun was hidden behind the sphere as everything went dark.

"Stay on your toes everyone.... I've got a bad feeling about all this." Ed said as he glances around.

Bell stayed close to Hestia, and Welf did the same. Ais looked around as she stayed near Loki, something in the air made it unbearable and unbreathable. A thick black mist was leaking off the Grimm sphere as Lili noticed.

Ed tossed everyone mask that he had made with his alchemy. "Put these on, once these are on will be able to breath clearly. We wouldn't want to breath this mist in." He put his mask on as he watched everyone else do the same.

Inside the Grimm sphere Scarlet slowly opened her eyes to muffled roars of Grimm outside, she had started to notice that she wasn't underwater anymore, she glanced around the sphere as she looked down and saw Grimm tentacles wrapped around her arms and stuck to her skin. She had also noticed the Grimm liquid she was in.

"Here they come." Ed said. "We've got three Ursa's at one o'clock."

Welf nods his head as he swung his sword at them. "Damn, they've got some kind of hard armor on.."

"No kidding.." Ed said. "They must've got a massive upgrade since the last time."

Welf was right about that, the Grimm's outer bone structure covered them like armor. As for the ones who had armor plating's already like the Deathstalker, the armor plating doubled for them. A Cenitaur towered over them as it's green glowing under belly was exposed. It started to spit acid at Welf and the others as Bell ran towards it.

"Fire Bolt!" Bell yelled as fire shot from his palm at the Grimm but it did have no effects whatsoever. "What?"

"This is bad." Lili said. "At this rate, we'll be looking death in the face." She glances at the Grimm sphere. "That's the source of these Grimm coming out of the mist, but we can't get near it...."

The sphere slowly started to crack as if it were an egg cracking. The Grimm didn't stop attacking however as more and more kept coming, until everything came to a complete stop.

"That is enough.... I will deal with them myself." Scarlet spoke as she lands on the ground. "You all may disappear into the wind like dust and ash."

Ed slowly turned his head as he saw Scarlet in good health. "Y-You.... How did you?"

Scarlet was silent as she glared at Ed and the rest. "It's time I put you all to sleep forever." She pointed at Hestia as she licked her lips. "As for you Goddess.... You'll be my next meal."
