RWBY x Destiny crossover Volume 6 (Path Between Roads)

Chapter 3

3rd Person POV

Nothing could be seen but darkness, until...

Cinder Fall's body is seen floating in water, ice chunks surrounding her. A closeup of her right eye suddenly opens up, twitching as she comes to terms with her current situation. Bubbles escape from her mouth as she struggles to get upright in the water. She activates her Maiden powers. The screen goes black, only Cinder gasping for breath is heard.

She is next seen crawling out of the pool of water onto the shore of an underground cave. Cinder holds her hand out and tries to activate a small flame in her hands, but it dies out quickly. Cinder grunts in frustration, slamming her Grimm-like fist to the ground, unknowingly opening up an exit to the cave. She looks up to see light pouring through the crack as well as the sound of howling wind. Cinder then looks up to notice the Vault under Haven Academy where she fought against Raven Branwen. Cinder then uses her Grimm fist to punch at the crack in the wall.

Cinder staggers out of the cave and into the rain. She struggles to walk for a bit before collapsing to the ground. A woman can be heard approaching her.

Woman: Gods, are you okay?

The woman, holding a basket of food, looks down at Cinder in concern.

Woman: Where did you...?

Cinder crawls forward, revealing her Grimm arm. The woman gasps and drops her basket. Cinder then looks up to the frightened woman, activating her Maiden powers and smiling evilly...

Kai's POV

Ruby: We need to take the Relic to Atlas?

Me, my team, Team RWBY, JNPR, and Qrow Branwen are seen back at the house in Mistral.

Qrow: That's what Oz said.

Everybody looks to Weiss Schnee.

Weiss: You've got to be joking...

Nora: I mean, bright side, we finally get out of this house!

Star: Eh, I kinda rather stay in bed than go.

Soul goes bop her in the head.

Star: Ow!

Star rubs her head and Weiss sighs.

Qrow: Well trust me, I'm not crazy about it either. And without the Spring Maiden here to seal the Relic back in its Vault, it's our best option.

Ren: Atlas may be the safest kingdom we have at the moment, but their borders are closed. General Ironwood called everyone back.

Jackson: And don't forget, People on Remnant are still afraid of us.

Kira: In the bright side, there are some people that don't hate us.

Kai: Well, that's true.

Qrow: Eh, not everyone. *activates his scroll, showing a hologram of a highlighted portion of land* The city of Argus is a ways north of us and it's the primary trading port between Anima and Solitas.

Jackson: I see, because they've got the largest Atlas military base outside the kingdom.

Qrow: Exactly. There's no way they'd leave it abandoned, and if we play our cards right, I think there's a good chance we could convince them to escort us straight to Ironwood.

Blake: I mean, we do have the missing Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.

Weiss: Ex-Heiress, actually.
