Fate are peculiar, they can either lead to ruin or salvation.

Some can be changed, others can't

But one thing is sure, a single different action can change fate, even how minuscule it was.

It could branch into a new possibilities.

Not only action, a person existence can change fate into an unknown possibility.

3rd POV

Chaos, that was the fitting description of the current situation.

Civilians running away from the hordes of Grimm. Atlesian Knight-200s are seen firing at the dark creatures, and a vendor hides behind his booth when a group of Ursai run past. Several Nevermores fly across the sky, one holding Roy Stallion in it's talons. It's total chaos and almost becoming hell on earth.

Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee are watching in horror of everything going on around them. Civilians continue to flee as Grimm continue to run amok, and a dead Creep on the ground starts to dissipate.

"I don't believe this..." Weiss said shocked at the situation. Blake then pulled out her scroll and tried to contacting her teammate.

"Yang, are you okay?" She said.

Yang Xiao Long was running in the hallways of the dorms with Zwei, and was answering Blake's call.

"I'm fine. Is Ruby with you? She's not answering her Scroll!." She asked with a worried tone.

"No, she isn't. Yang, I'm sure she's fine. She's our leader. She can take care of herself." At those words, Yang stops in her tracks with a worried expression on her face.

Yang closes her eyes and curls her fist into a ball

"Right." as Yang continues forward with Zwei and turns the next corner of the hallways. 

"This can't be happening... Penny..." Weiss still shocked at what happened to Penny.

"I'm headed to the docks near the courtyard. The White Fang are releasing Grimm into the school!" Yang said to Blake on her scroll.

"The White Fang is here!?" Blake shocked at the sudden appearance of the White Fang, through her Scroll, Blake hears the sounds of Grimm growling, and her expression grows ever more worried 

"Yang!" 

"Ugh! Gotta go! Be careful!" She said before she hanged up the call.

"Blake, what are we going to do?" Weiss asked her, still a little shocked.

"We're going to the docks, and we're doing our job." Blake said with a pensive tone.Blake then uses her Scroll to call upon her rocket locker, which lands behind her and opens up to reveal Gambol Shroud. Weiss gives one last look at Blake before nodding in agreement.

Back at Amity Colosseum, the Nevermore screeches as it continues to weaken the force field that's keeping it from getting in.

"Warning: Safety Barriers Failing." Announced as the force field is weakening.

As civilians run past her in a panic, Ruby Rose stays kneeling on the ground with her head down, her expression in a mixture of shock and sadness. As the Nevermore circles around the colosseum, Pyrrha Nikos struggles to stand as she looks in shock at the torn apart Penny Polendina.

"PYRRHA!! Pyrrha, that thing's going to break in! You've gotta move!" Jaune yelled at her while still in the stand with his teammates.Jaune, Ren, and Nora look up and see the force field flash as the Nevermore rises back up before diving back in. Wasting no time, the leader of Team JNPR jumps from the stands into the arena.

"Jaune!" Nora yelled at her team leader.

"Pyrrha, please snap out of it!" He said as he runs towards her.

Suddenly, the Nevermore completely breaks through the holographic barrier, and the force of it landing on the arena floor knocks back Jaune, Pyrrha, and the pieces of Penny. The Nevermore screeches and lunges towards Pyrrha. Suddenly, the Nevermore is knocked back by a red, twirling blur of roses, with the cause of the blur gripping one of Penny's swords and stabbing into the Nevermore, before jumping back down in front of Pyrrha.

"Ru...by?" Pyrrha said with a weak tone, still shell shocked.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!" She yelled with pure anger while pointing Penny's sword toward the Nevermore.

The Nevermore rises up and circles around the arena before lunging back down. Ruby holds Penny's sword defensively. Suddenly, the Nevermore gets pinned down by a barrage of rocket lockers, and screeches out in pain before going unconscious. The lockers then open up, revealing the weapons of various students, including Crocea Mors, StormFlower, Magnhild, and Fulcrum. 

The respective owner of the sword pulls it out from his locker, and is shown alongside Scarlet David gripping his cutlass and flintlock pistol, Sage Ayana with his sword, and Neptune Vasilias with his gun in hand. The camera continues to pan over showing Sun Wukong with Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in its staff form, Ren and Nora carrying their respective weapons, and the remaining members of Team CFVY, the members of Team ABRN, as well as Flynt Coal and Neon Katt of Team FNKI, all gripping their respective weapons. 

The students are then suddenly shaken when the Nevermore starts to get back up. Ren then leaps up into the air and uses the blades of his weapons to slash at the Nevermore's eye. Arslan Altan uses her rope dart to swing down and grab the towering Yatsuhashi from the ground carrying him upward. Sage also leaps up into the air, and Nora runs up to the Nevermore's head and hit it with Magnhild in its hammer form. When Arslan reaches peak height, she lets go of Yatsuhashi, who is then joined by Sage, as the two broadsword wielders slash down and decapitate the Nevermore. Causing it's head to land near Ruby before dissipating into black particles, while the students form a perimeter. As Arslan lands back on the ground next to her teammates, Ruby looks over to the teary-eyed Pyrrha.

"Ruby, I... I'm so sorry." She said while kneeling on the ground, holding a piece of Penny's torn cloth in her hands as she cried.

"Me too. But it wasn't your fault." Ruby said while still angry at the situation.

"She's right. Whoever was on that microphone... they're the ones that did this. And we have to make sure they don't take anyone else." Jaune said while he walks over to Pyrrha with Miló and Akoúo̱ in his hands.

Pyrrha stands back up and takes her weapons back from Jaune, the two of them exchanging determined expressions. They then look over to Ruby, who smiles at the impressive ensemble of students. Their moment is cut short when they notice hippogriff-like Grimm land on top of the colosseum. They fly towards the group of students as Ren calls the Grimm species out by their formal name.

"Griffons." Ren said.

"Anybody got a plan of attack?" Neptune asked.

"Sun! I need your Scroll! Ruby said to Sun which replied by giving his Scroll to Ruby using his tail. which she catches and uses it to summon her locker, which opens up revealing Crescent Rose inside. However, Ruby is stopped when a Griffon lands on her locker, and roars at her before being scared away at the sound of a gunshot.

"Students! I think it would be best for you to leave." Peter Port said while holding Blowhard in hand, along with Oobleck holding Antiquity's Roast in its club form.

"But we did a-" Ruby said which suddenly being interrupted.

"Miss Rose! This day will surely go down in Remnant's history. I'd prefer it if my students could live to tell about it." Oobleck said to his student.

Ruby nods at the Doctor's words before grabbing Crescent Rose and twirling it into it's scythe form.

"Let's go!". She said to the others. As all the students leave, Ruby gets distracted by the flash of Velvet Scarlatina's camera. She stops to look at the photograph she took but is interrupted when her leader calls out to her. 

"Velvet!" Coco called her.

With the students clear of the arena, Port and Oobleck stand back-to-back with their weapons in hand as the Griffons circle around them 

"One final match, Barty! Place your bets!" Port said as he laughs enthusiastically.

Civilians continue to run and flee in panic as they reach the docking bays of the colosseum. Atlas Soldiers are seen directing civilians to calmly step into the Air Buses. A female student is seen breaking down in tears as another person tries to comfort her. Suddenly, White Fang Bullheads are seen dropping off more Grimm at the docking bay.

Two Atlesian Knights escorting General James Ironwood effortlessly gun down an Ursa. As they proceed forward, the Knights are suddenly brutally ripped apart by a much larger, armored Beowolf variant. The Beowolf then notices Ironwood as the General starts to run towards it, gradually picking up speed as he nears the charging Beowolf. He screams a loud battle cry as he pulls out a pistol from his coat. 

Ironwood ducks and slides under the Beowolf's swipe and shoots at it twice. Pivoting as he skids across the floor, and using his free hand as a break. The Beowolf lands and shakes its head then charges at Ironwood again, who fires his revolver three more times before having to duck under another swipe. The Beowolf attempts to swipe at him again with its left claw, but Ironwood effortlessly stops it with his own right hand. The General then fires at the Beowolf's feet, the explosion causing it to get airborne, and still gripping it's claw, Ironwood proceeds to swing it back down to the ground with his own brute strength. 

Ironwood then picks up the Beowolf, aims the revolver at its skull, and shoots it, causing black blood to splatter from it. Ironwood then watches the body of the Beowolf dissipate before leaving. The students are then shown exiting the arena entrance and gather together in front of Ironwood.

"What's going on!?" Ruby asked the General.

"Grimm are crawling all over the city. The White Fang's invaded Beacon, and to make matters worse, some... vagabond has seized one of my ships. Until we regain command, the skies are out of our control. So I'm...going to take it back." Ironwood said as he noticing a Creep advancing on the group from behind, and shoots it. As Ironwood turns for his ship, he is stopped when asked a question. 

"What should we do?" Jaune asked him.

"You have two choices. Defend your Kingdom and your school... or save yourselves.  No one will fault you if you leave. Let's move out!" He said which then proceeds to climb up on the dropship in front of him.

As Ironwood leaves, the students look at each other and murmur before a certain monkey Faunus speaks up. 

"I mean... come on!" Sun said.

"We can take a ship to Beacon!" Jaune said. While the students head to the nearest airship, suddenly a Nevermore was flying to their way. As they prepared once more for combat, suddenly there was a voice.

"Not so fast!" Said the voice as the Nevermore was struck by a giant rectangular boulder from above it, which on top of it was a person standing. 

The person was revealed to be a man with black hair and wearing a white outfit was preparing a stance and as he jumped from the boulder after impact, he releases a fire shockwave slash that damages the Nevermore wings severely making it suddenly crashing on the ground. And then he standing in from of the Nevermore.

"No one is going to hurt my students and get away with it!" He said with an angry tone. Which then he put his swords up front and closed his eyes. The time around him feels a lot slower as he is focusing on his attack.

"My Blade.. Calm as still water.. NOW!" He then dashes towards the Nevermore, slashing 7 time on different directions, then holding his sword which was covered in flame, he swung one last time creating a circular shockwave of fire.

"Seventh Blade, Fallen Leaves!" He said, sheating his sword which suddenly creates a small whirlwind that keeps cutting the Nevermore until it turns into nothing. The student was shocked by the sudden appearance of the man that killed the Nevermore alone in a quick duration which makes them also a little bit happy that their obstacle was eliminated. 

"Instructor Rean!" Ruby said, being glad that her teacher showed up at the chaotic situation.

"Sorry for being late, but I'm here now, what's the situation?" He said looking at them.

(A/N) : Apparently, I want to add a prologue for this one as a starting point, so there it is.
