"Raiden, I thought that aThe White Lotus agreed to focus on protecting Earthrealm against Outworld" Subzero said bewildered that Raiden had decided to appear in Remnant. "While I did say that, the reveal that the Netherrealm and Salem have formed an alliance may cause more harm than Outworld may cause in the foreseeable future." The thunder god states with an insightful tone. He looks at both me and Hanzo with a look of regret. "I apologise for not intervening with your demise and destruction of your clan, I will find a way to restore you to your original self to remedy my inaction." He says as both me and Hanzo nod.

"what will happen to Cinder" I ask as I look at the unconscious body of the woman in question. Raiden doesn't speak for a minute until he comes to a decision. "I will take her to the White Lotus temple to attempt to remedy the corruption caused by Salem. She may prove useful to us in protecting Earthrealm." Raiden proceeds to pick up Cinder. "I wish you all the best of luck on your endeavours against Salem, I while aid you in time when we are ready. may the Elder Gods guide you all to victory." He states then teleports out of Remnant.

Silence is all that remained in the room after the Thunder God left. "Who was that?" Ruby asked as she stared where Raiden stood. "Raiden, The God of Thunder and sworn Protecter of Earthrealm. Remnant is but a part of Earthrealm that is small compared to other major parts." Hanzo explains which helps clarify to those who are confused. We begin to walk out of the academy as the faunas group that attacked the White Fang begins to disperse. I. The distance we see Adam Taurus looking at us which causes me to draw my Sickle a teleport behind him.

"Adam, you look better than when we last met, how is you hand or lack of one." I say mockingly as he turns and draws his katana. "Noob Saibot...you're supposed to be dead...Cinder killed you!" He yells as he prepares to strike. "That was a mistake on her part" I reply as I hold my sickle out in front of me. Adam blindly charges ahead and attempts to unleash an onslaught with his sword which leaves him open to Koro who grabs him. I walk up so I can stare him down. "Pathetic, you think that you are superior to me." I mock him as I take of his mask and blindfold revealing the SDC brand on his eye. "You are nothing to me, whilst I gave a second chance to Cinder...I will not show compassion to the likes of you." I say whilst preparing to gut him like a fish.

""STOP!"" I hear yelled at me as I stop when my blade was about to meet flesh. Aria and Blake come up to me and look me dead in the eye. "Let us deal with him." Aria says with a look of near regret on her face as well as Blake. I nod and make Koro throw him into the floor. I pick up his weapon and let the girls deal with him.

Aria POV

I get in front of the person I called my brother and look at him in despair. "Why Adam...why did you do this" I say quietly as he looks at the ground. "You threw away everything...you became obsessed with violence...you lost the optimism that both me and Blake knew you for." I say as Blake prepares Gambol Shroud. "The humans would never listen to us...I want to try and make a difference. Make a mark in the history books." He said while still looking down.  "We were getting closer to equality with peaceful action, why did you side with violence" Blake said which caused Sdam to get mad. "We were getting more discrimination with peaceful action! Now we get results and don't forget...BOTH OF YOU HELPED ME AND HAVE JUST AS MUCH BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!!" He yelled and looked at me dead in the eye. "Yet we changed, I hoped that you would too but..*sniff*... I guess I was wrong."

He looks confused until I pullout umbra hexistent in pistol format. "Goodbye Brother" I say trying to hold in my tears as I go to pull the trigger. What happens next shocked me. massive amounts Red and black smoke begins to emit  from his body as he clutched his head in pain. The smoke takes the form of a group of grim which I have never seen before.

One of the Grimm charges for me so I counter by shooting at it's chest as it was massive. Blake tries to hold it off but is thrown to the side. The others are unable to help as they are dealing with the others .Bullets prove useless as it continues to rush at me alone. I draw my katanas and try to cut it but gets swatted away and hit a wall cracking it. The Grimm stands over me ready to finish me off when a red blade is thrust through it's chest. The Grimm is then cut to pieces with rapid cuts and turns to vapour, revealing Adam panting heavily. "B-B-Brother" I say as he looks at me with an expression I haven't seen in years...worry.

He sheathes his sword and holds a hand out to me which I am reluctant to take. Blake also shows confusion from Adam's abnormal actions. "Aria...are you ok" he asks with a less harsh tone to what he would normally speak in. "I.. I'm fine." I say as I take his hand. He pulls me up and look me in the face as he backs up a bit. "What happened...i don't seem to remember." He states as he looks around. He sees Blake stood there and approaches her. "Blake, what's going on... where are we...who are they" He asks as he points to the others who had finished killing the Grimm. "Adam, what is the last thing you remember" Blake says as I close the distance. "I was talking to you and Aria in Menagerie about the sudden change in the White Fang's tactics." This shocks both me and Blake as his last memory was 6 years ago.

Jayden POV

After killing the Hellions that were emitted from Adam something clicks. A lesson taught to me at my time at the Lin Kuei. Hellions can alter a person's personality to the point where they act like a completely different person, the more inside one, the more drastic the changes can be. When they leave, the person affected loses all memories they had from when the hellions entered to when they left. Salem wanted a genocidal maniac so she used Hellions to change Adam into a cold blooded killer. I approach the faunas trio and look at Adam. "Remember me Adam." I say and he flinches in response. "No, what is wrong with your voice and skin...you look dead." He says shocked. We have a lot of explaining to do.

Timeskip

It took a while but we caught up Adam on what had happened and what he had done. He immediately apologised for his actions and especially to Yang, Blake and Aria when he found out he shot Aria, stabbed Blake and cut off Yang's arm. I apologised for his hand which he thought of as a small price to pay for his actions. Now we are heading to Atlas to secure the next relic. Though why do I have a feeling that I am going to punch Oscar/Ozpin into a tree or two. Maybe I'm just a bit passed I haven't killed someone yet other than Grimm. Wonder what will happen next I'm our massive journey to save Remnant. Elder Gods only know.

A/N done. That is Rose's Shadow. Once I feel I know what to do I will make a sequel but at the moment I need to watch season 6. I knew what happened with Adam from a friend who likes his character so I felt like he needed some more added to him so I changed his fate. Anyway Cinder is now a shallowing and Adam is helping us. I will see you in the nex instalment of this series.PEACE.
