Jayden POV

"I'm done" I say as I warp out of the room and end up near the academy. I walk around the campus and find the headmaster in his office. he goes into a back room which is out of my sight so I warp into his room to investigate going into the back room I notice he is talking to the same grim that Quan Chi did. "Mistress the girl and Qrow are here, they are here to secure the relic." he says which shows he is working for Salem. "thank you Leo, I will notify Quan Chi to send his Revenants to take it to a secure location." I hear Salem's voice as I remain unseen. Leo then walks out of the room and I make my presense known.

"Headmaster Lionhardt." I say which scares him as he stares at my ghastly appearance. "who are you, are you one of the revenants?" he asks as I nod and he directs me to a lift to take me to the relic. "the door can't be opened without the spring maiden or another power that could try and force it open." he says as I approach the door. "Make sure no-one can enter this room, not even Salem's lapdogs." I threaten him and he nods as we leave the area.

I warp back to the place we are staying and notify everyone. "Lionhardt is working for Salem, she plans on taking the relic using both me and hanzo." I say which creates an idea. "you guys could secure the relic and bring it to us, we could then deal with any backup that could come to assist in securing the relic." Ruby says which brings hope to the others but is shot down immediately. "we would require the spring maiden to open the door" Qrow says as he takes a sip from his flask. "or another being of equal power" I add which causes everyone to look at Pyrha. "What, why is everyone looking at me," she asks but remembers why. " I will deal with Cinder and secure the remaining power of the Fall maiden to Pyrrha, then we get the relic." I state which gets a nod from everyone.

about two days later, both me and hanzo receive a message from Quan chi stating that we are required to help obtain the relic. everyone prepares themselves for the upcoming fight as both me and hanzo wait in Lionhardt's office. moments later, a portal opens revealing Raven with Cinder and her lackeys followed by another girl. "so you two are the revenants I was told about. you two will listen to me." both me and hanzo disregard her and i state the following, "We serve lord Shinnok and Quan Chi" followed by hanzo continuing with" not Salem and her lap dogs."

This slightly pisses off Cinder but I could care less. we follow her to the main hall where we see mine, Jaune's and 's Ruby's Team with Qrow, Oscar, Subzer and Skarlet. we engage in kombat which to the noral eye seems real but is rather choreographed so that it would seem both side are at an impasse. we are called back by Cinder and we head to the relic door. Cinder then tries to kill the girl that is supposedly the Spring Maiden with her Grimm arm but is stopped by me. "What are you doing, we need her power" she yells as I look her dead in the eye. "my death was caused by your hands. Now, I shall do the same to you." I say as I draw my scythe.

"Noob saibot, I should have realised it would be you." she says as both me and her clash while hanzo tends to the girl and talks with raven. I constantly try to cut her in vital areas but she dodges. I decide to screw caution and go all out on her.

(the first followed by the last)

as she struggles to get up off the ground I decide to make a statement. I grab her and teleport to the main hall where everyone stops fighting at our presence. outside I notice that White Fang are being held back by other faunas being led by Blake who runs in and notices me. "This war will end and Salem will fall by my hand" I state as I create a ritual circle using both mine and Cinder's blood.

dropping her to the ground I reach for the Necronomicon on my hip and begin an incantation. Cinder's body begins to eminate a orange smoke which drifts to Pyrrha while her grimm arm vapourises, transforming it into a normal arm as I pour her soul into it. my own body egins to emit black smoke as I absorb the darkness dwelling in Cinder's mind. once the ritual is over Cinder ends up unconscious and the other are shocked. "leave, and never return to plague these lands." I say to the group of Salem followers "whilst I still feel charitable" they make the right decision and leave, abandoning Cinder.

Hanzo emerges with Raven, the girl and the Relic which he hands to me. I pick up Cinder we go to the others who looked shocked at what I did. " why did you spare her, she killed you" Yang asks dumfounded. " i will not stoop as low as she did. she deserves a chance at redemption. as does all of us for our own misdeeds." lightning is heard from in front of us and we hear an unfamiliar voice. "words of wisdom Jayden, I am impressed. perhaps you are the key to protect Earthrealm from both Salem and Shinnok." in the doorway stands a familiar figure to people who are well read on the old myths. The God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm, Raiden.

A/N There is Chapter 16, sorry for the really long update time for this and the previous chapter, I was an idiot and it slipped my mind. anyway i have some important info, Next chapter will be the last chapter of this book. however, i am planning on making a sequel which will start from the beginning of Volume 6. i just have to watch it so i know what is going on. also i am going to leave Cinder's fate in your hands, you have 4 options to choose from.

1) she assists the team in taking out Salem

2) She is arrested and forgotten

3) She is used to restore either hanzo or Jayden's Humanity (if you choose this one please say who you want a human first)

4) Raiden sends her to the White Lotus to bring an inner peace in her soul, she will probably show up later in the sequel book if this happens.

you don't have long, i am sorry for the rush but i want some effort you only have until the 20th June 20:00 GMT to put in your vote as i plan on writing the next chapter around then. Hope you have a nice day. PEACE.
