Marvel Knights RWBY: The Vengeful One (RWBY: Volume 1-2)

Volume 2 Chapter 10

3rd P.O.V

Ironwood was outside the academy, looking at Vale's view of Vale when all of a sudden, Glynda Goodwitch walked to him, feeling some bits of concern.

Glynda: "Trouble sleeping?"

Ironwood: "My arm was acting up."

Glynda: "Of course. So logically, you got out of bed, dressed yourself completely, and decided to gaze menacingly out in the distance. Just what exactly is the problem, James?"

Ironwood just sighed about it all, but he knew he couldn't hide it forever. It was time she knew what was concerning him.

Ironwood: "I have trusted him for years. We both have, I just can't help the fact that he's keeping us in the dark."

Glynda: "Don't be ridiculous. You know very well that we are not the ones in the dark."

Ironwood: "That just only makes it worse. I refuse to believe that a man I've trusted for so long would actually be so... passively."

Glynda: "You're a good person, James. You've always done what was best for people, even in the worst of times you still had your head up in what needed to be done. Even against small protests, it's admirable. But now, it is time that you stop worrying about trust and start to show it. Besides, Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering.

Elsewhere

Ruby was still standing guard, looking through the scope of Cresent Rose while everyone was asleep. When Johnny woke up finding himself in a weird realm, wondering where the others had gone.

Johnny: "Hello? Is anyone here? Ruby? Yang? Weiss? Blake? Roxanne??"

As he walked around, he saw Vale in ruins, the sky was blood red, the moon was an eternal eclipse, and there was Grimm everywhere, snarling as Johnny walked around. He noticed a giant throne that rested in front of the destroyed Beacon Academy.

Johnny: "What is this place...?"

???: "It's the realm of where the apocalypse came... when everything was dead, it was my time to rule. In other words, this is Hell on Remnant."

Johnny: "Who are you, and what the hell happened here?"

???: "On to the point, I like that in you. We got that in common, you see. Why? It's just so simple."

The stranger then got up from his throne, walked out of the shadows, and revealed his face. It looked exactly like.... Johnny! But instead with black and red eyes and white bleached hair and sharp fangs.

Johnny (Grimm King): "I'm you..."

Johnny: "W-what?! T-that's impossible!"

Johnny (Grimm King): "Why it's obvious, Johnny. Nothing is impossible. This all happened. I took over Hell, then I ruled Salem's domain, and then I also had to do a few things to get to where I am now."

Johnny: "What about my friends? What about RWBY? What about Roxanne?"

Johnny (Grimm King): "Oh... right as for them... you could say I had to eliminate them from getting in my way of making this happen."

At first, Johnny didn't know what he meant, until the variant of him showed him exactly what he meant, that RWBY, JNPR, and Roxanne were all dead, and they had suffered a gruesome, painful death too. Johnny was on his knees, staring at the ground, thinking that it just couldn't be true.
