Rwby reacts to Persona: Grimm tidings

Chapter 32: Worlds Apart

"People of Remnant." Ruby Rose's face appeared on monitors around the kingdom. Her team stood at her back, alongside Raven, Ilia, Harriet and Marigold. "Today Salem moved against Atlas, and today we pushed her back. Look to fellow civilians, look to your families. She can be beaten, she can be pushed back, today we proved that."

"We lost only thirty seven in the battle, all of them fighting." Raven said. She reached up and placed her mask over her face briefly. "Thirty-seven people, sixteen of them of my clan, remember today, remember the fallen. This will not be the last attack."

"Wow, If all of the days casualties died in battle, that would mean that no civilians died in that whole attack, I'm impressed" says Qrow

"Salem has already gone after Vale, then her forces made an attempt on Mistral and now they have attacked Atlas. Salem is no longer hiding, she isn't in the shadows. Salem has a goal, and she's hurting innocent people to get it." Ruby said. "RWBY Dust and Technologies, the White Fang and the Branwen clan will be using every day we can to prepare to face her."

"Those three along with a little help from the atlas military make up the main force against Salem now." says Rex

"I never thought I would hear my old clan become heros" said Qrow

"The Atlas military will be working alongside them for this. While we can't send anyone, we need to stay and defend Atlas." Harriet stepped forward. "Which is why myself and a small team of representatives will be going with them, the better prepared we are the better our defence will be."

"Salem will try again." Yang said. She felt nuclear fire beginning to crawl up her arms and quickly snuffed it out. "This will not be her last attempt."

"She will come after the kingdoms in the future." Blake said. "Nowhere is safe from her. She will go after anyone and everyone, human or faunus."

"And we will stand against her." Weiss said.

"We will stop her, we will end this war." Ruby said. "No one should live in fear. And we'll make sure no one does."

"Impressive conviction" says Ozpin

"Ms- Ruby." Ironwood said. He and the other groups involved in the defense were standing on one of the airship platforms. White Fang agents were packing their equipment up while Marigold marveled at the additions to her bullhead. "I wanted to thank you for everything you've done this past year."

"Over the course of this year many things have occurred, and many more have gone wrong." Ironwood looked proud as he spoke. "Through it all you kept a level head, every problem, every setback. It was you stepping up to lead anyone you could through every difficulty, even when others couldn't."

"I was just doing what I had to."

"No Ruby, what you had to do was lead your team against the grimm, what you did was raise an army against them. That deserves praise, you and your team went so far above your station over this year." Ironwood said. He stepped aside to reveal the rest of the Atlas Council, Robyn Hill taking Jacques's position. "And so we'd like to present you with something."

"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao-Long. Last week you fought well beyond your abilities to protect the people of Atlas. Not only that but the forces you brought with you helped save countless lives." One of the council said. He looked at the other after a moment.

"Coupled with your command of the forces involved in the battle you kept the casualties of war to a minimum. For this reason we've seen fit to grant you four the Atlea Medal of honor." The man held a case out to them. "While we are only awarding you with one collectively we did take the liberty of getting four medals."
