Intro
A narrating voice sounds off in the background about it's past.
"Long ago..."
The flashback sees The White Fang and Adam Taurus, along with Roman Torchwick and Cinder Fall destroying Beacon Academy as Beacon had multiple students as well as from different schools trying to defend Beacon as well. Grimm was heavily involved as well.
"Remnant, mostly in Vale saw a new era...A era that was truly experienced with..."
The narrating voice paused as a red background appears where Adam Taurus severely injures Yang Xiao Long by slashing his sword at the arm of Yang, a front of Blake Belladonna.
"Bloodshed..."
A black background would fade in as a background and it shows a flashback with Pyrrha Nikos sending Jaune Arc into the weapon pod away from Beacon.
"Sad goodbyes..."
Then, the darkness would fade in once more. Timeline wise, would go back to see at the Beacon Tower in the end of the Cinder vs. Pyrrha fight where Cinder shoots one of her arrows at the heart of Pyrrha and Ruby Rose sees this.
"The worst of all...Death and heartbreak..."
Ruby was in shock as Cinder places a hand on Pyrrha's forehead as Pyrrha fades away. Then, Ruby cries out and screams out as the Silver Eyes activated and the whole background changes into all white afterwards.
"But, after all of that. A certain team was broken, later brought back together to stop one villain ahead of them that's caused The Fall of Beacon and the wars to happen."
The background would be painted in with color and it's in Salem's castle. Salem is shown.
"This woman, this dangerous woman...The darkness flows within her, because of her selfish needs. This woman's name is Salem and she won't stop at nothing until...The world is burnt down to the ground a front of her...."
What's next is shown with pages like a history book would be flipped and sees a war breaking out. The pages flip once more as the paint is being placed in the page with Team RWBY standing side by side with Ryuuto Yoshida, Gintoki Sakata, Zaveid, Shinsuke Takasugi, Shinpachi Shimura, Mutsuko Crowe, Velvet Crowe, Qrow Branwen, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Oscar Pine, and Raven Branwen on their side along with tons and tons of allies by their side.
"A war would be engaged. One side was the legendary Team RWBY alongside with their allies, that came along for in their journey."
Next page is flipped as it's shown with The White Fang with leader, Adam Taurus and many more on his side and standing from a few minutes off of where they were was Salem shown standing inside from the castle, watching this from afar.
"As The White Fang and Adam Taurus was ready for war. Salem was watching from afar. Then, from there the war finally begun."
A brand new page had been created as it would be painted in as it shows Team RWBY defeating Salem, alongside with Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie. Oscar Pine, and Lie Ren.
"Then, Salem was defeated by our heroes of the past. Sure, the war with Salem ended. But, things took a dark turn with The White Fang and Team RWBY's allies."
Another page would be stained in paint as it shows Shinsuke Takasugi, Velvet Crowe, Shinpachi Shimura, Mutsuko Crowe, Qrow & Raven Branwen, and Zaveid being held down as Adam Taurus watched them grovel and is enjoying it. As Shoyo Yoshida is seen tied up at the end of the cliff.
After this, then a page is turned as Gintoki Sakata is seen slashing Shoyo's head off clean with his sword, forcibly.
"After Shoyo's sacrifice for his students. The war did indeed end but on a sad note as our heroes stared at the sun, looking into the future as The White Fang did die down after the war and later disband. This would be the end of the past generation."
Then, a new book would be picked up by someone as the person would open that book. As the book has pages that needs to be filled in. But, the background would be painted in as a new generation would be shown standing a front of Beacon Academy.
"After twenty years of chaos and war. A new generation has risen. The new generation will make sure the world is safe from any sort of danger..."
A page is flipped and the background gets painted in as it would show Dean Ambrose in his new demon form killing Roman Reigns a front of Tony Shimura, Tyler Black, Mutsuko Crowe, Seth Thurston, Asuka Reigns, Vanilla Frost, and Nashime "Kita" Yoshida.
"Then...even in the new generation, darkness exists within the new generation..."
A new page is shown, one of the new pages is there but the one to the right is not painted in yet. The page to the left shows Dean not turning his back to look at his former teammates, as he did side with Cinder Fall, Roe Ket, Zero Kishitani, Katsuke Shinoda, and Saiko Mayama. Tony is shown with an angered look on his face.
"This is where...Anger, darkness, despair, and finally...hatred comes into play..."
The page to the right is now painted in as it shows Tony Shimura standing all alone, in the rain and is apparently seen at Atlas, raging in the rain by himself, continuing his search for Dean, following his interaction with Saiko Mayama using her Darkness Control on him. He is seen shouting out loud out of desperation and anger.
"The boy, Tony Shimura is now under his own darkness and fighting his own subconscious, with a desperate mind, that's close to breaking. Trying to prove he can save someone on his own and under his own power."
Another page is flipped and is seen with someone holding their hand out to Tony, as Dean walked away into the darkness. Saiko is shown holding her hand out and Vanilla holding hers on opposite sides as Tony was in the middle.
"Now...Darkness or Light, Give up or keep fighting is his two only options...Which will he choose?...
A page is flipped once more as it shows Vanilla Frost hugging Tony Shimura, outside of Beacon Academy, with an laid out Saiko Mayama as well as the Beacon's head, Ruby Rose, Jake Belladonna, a close friend of Tony's, and Vanilla's sister, Nashime "Kita" Yoshida watching the two hug.
....A choice was made when the girl, Vanilla Frost woke him from the boy's own darkness. The boy, Tony... chose to continue the fight and his mission to save his friend..."
A new page is seen as it's shown Tony Shimura, Nashime "Kita" Yoshida, and Vanilla Frost heading towards for Britannia Village for the upcoming war.
"The young trio now is going into their hometown village and defend Vale from darkness and war, that the enemy declares...."
Another page is flip on the left as it's shown on both pages, of the two sides which sees on one side, Ryuuto Yoshida, Velvet Crowe, Zaveid, Ray Rowe, Emilia Rose, Himiko Ren, Kaiku and Sagura Shimura, Tyler Black, Kintoki Sakata, and Asuka Reigns in the village defending for Vale. The other side would see Cinder Fall leading the charge for her side alongside with Roe Ket, Zero Kishitani, and her forces heading into the village to start the war. In the background shows Dean Ambrose standing on the village's bridge.
"As the war emerges..."
The next page shows Dean Ambrose fully in his demon form and holding the Demon-Dweller Sword, awaiting for his former friend, rival.
"For better or worse...Two friends, now enemies, a rivalry...It will all collide ahead on one battle and whoever is the last man standing...The war, the rivalry...Comes to ahead right now!"
The visuals fades into the white light as the opening begins.

_________________________________________________________________________________
The episode begins off with Kintoki, Gintoki, Sayaka, Asuka, Zaveid, Seth, Ao, Emilia, Ray, Sagura, and Himiko had finally taken out everyone.
"Is that all they've got?!" Gintoki asked, looking at everyone.
Zaveid shrugged. "Maybe so...I hope so..."
"Hopefully, that was all for our end...." Ao hoped for that it was the real complete end of her men.
"Sagura...Your sister, I think she needs some help over there..." Himiko mentioned to Sagura, as she watched Kaiku and Roe fight.
Before Sagura could even go in to help Kaiku.
Asuka walked ahead of Sagura, as she looked back at her with a serious look on her face. "Let me take her on...She betrayed our team for her own idiotic selfishness..."
"You do know, it's my sister I have to protect..." Sagura got down to one knee and creates a Wind Bow and Arrow. She would try her best to target Roe.
"I understand, but Roe...I have big problems with her...More than you do, Sagura...But, if you will...Cover for me..."
"What do you think I'm doing?" Sagura would shoot an arrow at Roe.
Roe would notice something was coming from behind, by the sound of an arrow coming her way. She would block the arrow using her sword part of Gambol Shroud. "You--"
Asuka ran towards Roe and jumped in the air, as her fists glows in her golden aura. She attempts to hit Roe with a punch to the face.
Roe saw this coming, as she moves out of the way in the time as Asuka did punch the ground in which made a huge ground hole....
Kaiku would come in and attacks Roe with a spinning heel kick to the face. In which, Roe dodges the kick and Kaiku rolled over onto her back back down to the ground as she attempts to go a sweep kick.
Roe jumped up in the air as Sagura shoots another arrow at Roe. Roe slashed through the arrow, straight clean.
Asuka tries to punch at Roe again through mid-air, but Roe goes back and forth with Asuka. Immediately, Roe did hit Asuka would kick to the face that sends Asuka down back to the ground.
Roe came back down as she looked at Asuka, Kaiku, and Sagura.
"Why are you doing this, Roe?! This isn't like you to fight against your friends!" Kaiku asked Roe as she was questioning her stance on why she's against her friends like this...
"Friends?!...FRIENDS???....Were you so-called "friends" there when I lost my mother and father?...Oh, god please tell me....Wait, let me answer that for you! YOU NEVER WERE THERE!!!! I WAS ALONE!!! ESPECIALLY IN THOSE HORRIBLE TIMES! Until Cinder...She took me in before, I met Jake and Wraith, as well as their mother and you people....She told me that I wasn't alone! I never was! Because fate led her to finding me....Unlike you idiots, I wasn't loved at all...I never was! Cinder saw me for the person I was, even if I was a faunus...Not you--"
Sagura would run towards Roe and punch her in the face. Kaiku and Asuka were surprised to see this....Sagura was in tears a bit. Finally emotion is shown from the second oldest sibling.
"Don't give us that shit, Roe...How the hell did you think Me, Tony, and Kaiku felt when our father and mother died....when we were kids? We were lonely too without them there, but together with me, my little sister, and my older brother...We were NEVER alone to begin with! Why? We have our aunt, who came to see us three times a week, and our cousin, who wasn't able to see us often....We had each other! And, you mean to tell me...Your memories with Jake, Wraith, and Ms. Belladonna mean NOTHING TO YOU?!?!?....Sure, if Cinder were ever there for you, you would never have met us. You'd be one of those dead people who are out here and who fought with the best of the best people anyone could ever be associated with....
...Roe, don't give us that shit...We were there for you....YOU even HAD TEAMMATES WHO HAD YOUR BACK!!!! AND WHAT DO YOU DO?! You stab them in the back and you go back to someone who never was even there for you to begin with. You had your parents. You had The Belladonna's...You even had Asuka, Vanilla, and Kita, who would watch your back, no matter what...And I know what you did...You ratted out to your best friend about a secret none of hadn't known but you...You're just the worst of the--"
Kaiku and Asuka holds Sagura back, as Roe is seen in tears of this.
"Calm down, Sagura...Please..." Kaiku asked.
Sagura looked down at the ground as tears were falling down her face.
Asuka would step aside, as she punches Roe in the face as well....
"You idiot...Don't you realize...Most of us, probably have lost families...But, we had each other throughout that whole time and not one time we've ever wavered from each other...Hell, even Me and Roman didn't see each other since we were four years old. Our parents were never together, either...Until I got a little older enough to go to school here and make such great friends, even I saw you as a good friend too, Roe...Going back from our days in Shoka Shinjuku to Beacon Academy, as Beacon huntresses' in training...Up to that mission when you ratted out on Vanilla...Sure, I was angry at Vanilla for not telling us she was a faunus. But, I understood why she did it. Then, you....I was way more angry with you because you betrayed your team leader and the team itself for someone who isn't worth two shits...
...Yes, you are a scum but you are a friend too...Now that I understand why you did what you did, but I still don't respect it, nor like it...You can still move and think for yourself when you do have the willpower to have the ability to do so...Can you try to move away from your past? Can you move forward with the friends that you been with you from the start? That's all I need to know..."
She takes a hand out to Roe, as Roe looked at her hand.
Roe tries not to be in tears and takes Asuka's hand, getting back to her feet and Asuka pulls her in for a hug. Roe starts tearing up again.
Kaiku and Sagura smiled as they were happy to see the former teammates reconcile again...
"GUYS! LOOK AHEAD!!!" Seth shouted out at the four.
Kaiku, Sagura, Roe, and Asuka looked over towards Tony and Cinder face to face...
"Is that--?!"
"KICK HER ASS, TONY!!!!" Asuka yelled out.
"YEAH, TONY! GIVE THE ASS KICKING CINDER DESERVES!!!" Kaiku also shouted out.

Kaiku and Asuka holds Sagura back, as Roe is seen in tears of this.
"Calm down, Sagura...Please..." Kaiku asked.
Sagura looked down at the ground as tears were falling down her face.
Asuka would step aside, as she punches Roe in the face as well....
"You idiot...Don't you realize...Most of us, probably have lost families...But, we had each other throughout that whole time and not one time we've ever wavered from each other...Hell, even Me and Roman didn't see each other since we were four years old.

Kaiku and Sagura smiled as they were happy to see the former teammates reconcile again...
"GUYS! LOOK AHEAD!!!" Seth shouted out at the four.
Kaiku, Sagura, Roe, and Asuka looked over towards Tony and Cinder face to face...
"Is that--?!"
"KICK HER ASS, TONY!!!!" Asuka yelled out.
"YEAH, TONY! GIVE THE ASS KICKING CINDER DESERVES!!!" Kaiku also shouted out.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Before the fight happens between Tony and Cinder...Vanilla comes in and held Tony's hand before he began his fight with Cinder.
Tony heard the shouting and yelling from where they were.
Tony heard the shouting and yelling from where they were.
"Stop, Tony! Please! You can't do this alone! We already lost Roman and Dean...Also, too many people has gotten extremely hurt by that woman! Stop!!!"
"....Vanilla, I have to do this...I need to...This is for you all, Dean, Roman, Tyler, my father, mother, teacher, my friends, and even you and Kita....This needs to end..."
"....Vanilla, I have to do this...I need to...This is for you all, Dean, Roman, Tyler, my father, mother, teacher, my friends, and even you and Kita....This needs to end..."
Tony said in a very soft and calming tone as he looks back at Vanilla with a short smile.
"Please...Let me do this..."
Vanilla didn't want to let go at all. She understood why Tony needed to do this but, she just can't.
Vanilla didn't want to let go at all. She understood why Tony needed to do this but, she just can't.
Kita places a hand on Vanilla. "Let him do this...Have faith in him..."
"Yeah..." Tyler said, backing up Kita to Vanilla. He understand that Vanilla wouldn't want him to do this. Especially it's against someone who he couldn't beat before, tried once.
He even remembers that mission at Vacuo and the fight...The Shield got completely decimated fighting Cinder, and Tony was the one who got most of it facing Cinder. Even Tyler doesn't want him to do this, either but...He has to...For everyone else and to end this horrifying war.
Tyler whispers to Tony, as he was on the ground with a closed eye. "Give 'em hell, Tone...Show no remorse..."
"You got it, Tyler..." Tony said, as he kept his eyes on Cinder throughout this whole time.
"Watch this, Dad...Roman...Dean...Everyone! I will end this war!!" He exclaimed, thinking in his mind.
Vanilla sighed as she places her aura into him and sat up, as she stood a front of Tony.
"Don't worry..." Tony would kiss Vanilla, passionately and let's go of the kiss. "It'll be all over...soon enough..."
He notices Cinder coming towards him without patience.
Kita pulls Vanilla out of the way, as Tony started to collide dual-wielding swords with Cinder back and forth in quick movement.
"C'mon, my son...Give Shinpachi his justice! And Shinsuke as well!" Velvet shouted out to Tony.
"Give her all of the hell she truly deserves, kid..." Jaune said silently.
The force in the two swords clashing, sends both of them back.
As Cinder was getting sent back, she sends out flame slashes from her swords towards out to Tony.
Tony would double-cross slashes at the flame slashes with Wind Flame Slashes.
Tony would double-cross slashes at the flame slashes with Wind Flame Slashes.
Both moves collides and explodes in the middle, since the moves were blocked at the same time.
Tony turns Siegfried back into it's gun form and shoots at her with numerous of bullets. Cinder blocks the bullets, and the two swords would revert into a bow. She shoots a few arrows at Tony and they were flame shooting arrows.
He shoots at the arrows, and they were on the mark destroying the arrows.
Cinder makes it back to the ground, and Tony comes around with the sword. She shoots more arrows at him and Tony responds back with defensive blocks.
Tony charges at Cinder in full speed. He would attempt to slash at Cinder with the huge sword and Cinder dodges. Cinder attempts to sweep kick him but Tony steps back to avoid this move.
Cinder brings back one of her sword as she starts to go back and forth with Tony. Tony attempts to slash at Cinder's head but she dodges and connects with a kick to the face.
Then, she would follow up with a slash to Tony's cheek and Tony almost slashing at Cinder's arm but she does a spin jump to avoid that slash. Tony turns around really quick to attempt slashing at her once more. Cinder blocks again with her sword, against his...He tries to use his strength to get better of her.
Cinder would quickly kick Tony in the stomach to keep him away from her.
Tony gets sent back to the ground but he slams the sword into the ground and held onto it, to keep his balance.
Cinder quickly charges at him in full speed and attempts to stab Tony with her sword to his abdomen. Before she could even do so, he does hit her with a uplifting kick in the face but Cinder comes back by stabbing him in the abdomen.
She whispers to him in his ear to mess with him again. "Awww....Can't fight back? Let me tell you why...You can never get the job done just like how your father couldn't..."
Tony's eyes widens and gasps. He does look back on the day of him, Kaiku, and Sagura at his mother and father's graves at the cemetery. He made a promise to Kaiku and Sagura, especially to himself that...He would finish the job that his dad started on.
And that was to find the person and make them pay for his father's death and now, mother's disappearance...
He moved his body to the side, as Cinder misses him. He would go for a flying reverse spin kick but Cinder catches him by the leg and Tony attempts to punch her in the face at the same time.
But, she catches his fist as well and spun down in the air to drop him down to the ground.
Cinder would attempt to stab Tony in the chest, but Tony suddenly moves his already injured hand up as the sword does stab him through his hand.
His eyes widens and he was indeed in pain, and the sword almost went through his hand to his chest. Before Tony could kick Cinder off away from him, Cinder reaches her grimm arm up to Tony and chokes him with her hand.
She got closer to Tony's face and smiled evilly, enjoying hurting the boy...
"Come on, boy...Let your darkness and your hatred come over you again...Try and---"
Tony grabs a hold of Cinder's hand with his good left hand and tries to force her hand up and away from his very damaged right hand, as she still had the sword in his hand. He was trying to force the sword out of his hand.
"I-I will...I will...E-End you and..E-End this war!"
He hits Cinder with a kick to the stomach. As she was kicked in the stomach, the sword she had in hand was taken out from her hands.
Cinder remained on her feet, but stumbling a bit. Tony got up and out of his own adrenaline despite the heavily damaged hand and arm...His fist would light up in green aura as that aura turns into Green Wind Flames.
He would punch Cinder in the face, really hard. Cinder gets sent back really far, off as Tony came charging at her with the rest of his aura being placed into his fist.
Tony's aura turns into more wind flames. The flames were enhanced to the point it's where even sending more damage-sustaining burns to his hand.
Cinder grabs her sword as flames ignites her sword, she charges in as well, coming towards Tony.
"THIS IS YOUR END!!!!!"
Tony shouted out loud and is aiming to hit Cinder in the face once more with the move.
As they come head to head again, Tony came close to punching Cinder in the face really hard, as Cinder had stabbed Tony in the abdomen. Tony's eyes widens as he looks down at his now bleeding abdomen. He looked back up at Cinder...
Everyone else was shocked to see this...Even Kaiku, Sagura, Tyler, Velvet, Vanilla, Kita, and Ryuuto...They saw what happened here.
"TONY!!!!" Vanilla screamed out, as her eyes widens and she was in total disbelief of what she just seen...
Cinder had a evil smile on her face as she had her sword in his abdomen, as she deepens the wound even more. "You mean...This is your end, Shimura?"
"...." Tony coughs out blood and Cinder would come closer to his ear, whispering to him about this.
"You brought this upon yourself...Y'know, all of this could've been avoided if you stayed under your own darkened, hatred state...."
"Y-You..." Tony couldn't finish his sentence.
Cinder would kick Tony off of her sword and slashes at the ground, as blood comes off the sword. Tony falls back down into the ground and just bleeding out on the ground.
Tyler just couldn't believe it either...He didn't want to believe it at all..."T-Tony...No...Please...Don't go! Don't leave me here!"
"....You bitch....I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" Velvet tries to step up as Cinder walks up to Vanilla, walking past a bleeding out Tony....
Jaune puts his hand out to stop Velvet. "Wait...Velvet..."
"Teacher, Ms. Crowe...I can feel his aura...He's not dead yet..." Shizuka whispered to Velvet and Jaune, as she felt his aura still somewhat alive.
Vanilla goes down to her knees as she was in tears, and she notices Cinder walking up to her. She tries to back away from Cinder. "L-Leave me alone!...Please..."
Kita would stand a front of Vanilla in a hug, as she was in tears as well. "If I was you...I'd stop!...Stop this! You already killed enough people! Do you not understand?! Killing just only solves nothing!"
"Kita......" Vanilla called out in her mind, as she looked up at Kita
"....That's where your wrong, girl...You see in this world we live in, it's either you kill or be killed..If revenge is something, someone desires...What other way to accomplish that? I wonder...Nashime "Kita" Yoshida....Are you gonna fall like your friends have and your lover too? I can easily make that happen..."
Cinder was going to slash at Kita with her sword, but Tony grabbed her leg. Despite of his grim injury.
"N-Not yet..." Tony coughed out more blood
"Tony?!" Kita's eyes widens in shock that he was still alive.
Cinder grits her teeth and she wasn't happy about this..."How the hell are you alive?!"
"I-I will not let you...Kill those two...Or anyone else again..." He said in a softly-spoken tone.
Cinder turns around as she looked down at Tony. "You're seriously annoying...Die..." As Tony was trying to get back up he was on his knees. She attempts to slash at his neck.
Ryuuto and Velvet's eyes widens, as they didn't want to see this happen again, like long ago with Shoyo....
"....I need to move....I need to do---" Vanilla sat up and gets away from Kita's hug, as she held Cinder's arm back, preventing her from killing Tony.
Tony's eyes widens as he looked up to see what Vanilla was doing.
"What the hell are you doing, Vanilla?! You are supposed to do NOTHING!!!!" Cinder yelled at the girl, as Vanilla stopped in her thought.
Vanilla was froze there, she didn't know what to do or how to react to this...
Tony coughed out more blood, as he held his wound with his hand, trying to stop the bleeding...He saw Vanilla holding Cinder back from killing him.
"Don't kill him...I beg of you, Cinder...Don't..." Vanilla begged for her not to kill him.
"Why? Do you want me to kill you instead? Or....Tell him about your past..."
Vanilla's eyes widened, as she slowly takes her hand off of Cinder's arm..
"Y-You don't need to...I-I already know...Gintoki told me...Since he got the inside from S-Seth Thruston....Vanilla...Don't be afraid...Be even more brave and stronger than you already are now....Y-You..."
Tony coughed out more blood once again and he tries to stand up, but his strength isn't strong as it was before...
"You....can do this....You can...Overcome your past. No matter how tragic as it may sound about your past...You gotta move past it, with your own two feet. Hell, find all the grasping help along the way to help you get there...
...You got your dad, my mother, our friends, my sisters, your sister, and...You got me too...We all love you too, Vanilla...Make the courage to stand again, never give into your destiny...Change your fate by moving with your two feet...If we overcame our past, you should too...And I will even be there to help you along the way, count on it....I believe in you, I even love you no matter what..."
Tony slowly stood up, back to his feet as he looked dead into Cinder's eye....
"Cinder...We will overcome all of the hatred and darkness...We will bring the peace back into this world...And it'll be a world that you won't be apart of..."
Vanilla was reassured by those words from Tony...She thought about everything that led up to this, and her past...She had tears in her eyes and dries those tears. "Yeah..."
"Oh, really now?!" Cinder looked down at Tony, as she turns around to notice that Vanilla uses her semblance to vanish and then, reappear next to Tony and Cinder went for a slash at Vanilla.
With little aura Tony had, his fist lights up one more time and wind flames appears again but this time to his good hand. Vanilla notices the little amount of aura he had, as she hold her arm and hand out to combine with Tony's fist.
Her lights up along with Tony's combining the pink and green aura colors together into light gray Wind Flames, Cinder came charging at the two as well as Tony and Vanilla come charging at Cinder.
Cinder attempted to slash at both of Tony and Vanilla's heads but they dodged it. As they would punch Cinder in the stomach, absolutely really hard. As Velvet, Jaune, Shizuka, Tyler, Ryuuto, and Kita watches in total amazement.
A huge light appears in the area, as Tony and Vanilla are seen forcing their punch against Cinder.
Jake and Wraith Belladonna had finally made it in as they run into seeing a huge light in the area.
"What is that?!" Jake covers his eyes with his arm.
Wraith uncovers her eyes as she sees Tony and Vanilla in that light, destroying Cinder....
"Jake! That's Tony and Vanilla!"
"Really???" Jake puts his arm away from his eyes to see them taking out Cinder.
"THIS IS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
They both shouted out loud as Cinder was forced hit all the way going past the group as Tony and Vanilla had held their fists out and the light fades away.
Cinder gets sent into a nearby home, broken through a wall after the force of a hard punch sent her there by Tony and Vanilla.
".....This is over..." Vanilla said as she looked over at Tony.
Tony's good arm and hand had some burns as well, but not as bad as his right arm had...He fell down to the ground as he was fully out of his aura.
"Tony!" Vanilla catches Tony before he hits the ground.
Velvet and Kita ran towards the two as they look at Tony and Vanilla.
"That was awesome, guys!" Kita said with a smile
Jaune and Shizuka helps Tyler join in with Kita and Velvet, as well as Ryuuto.
Cinder was definitely out of it after that punch.
"Tony...Is he alright?" Tyler asked.
Vanilla looked down at Tony. As he was really injured seriously bad...."We need some help for him!...Is there a medical specialist around here?!" She looked around with a worried look on her face.
"Incredible...Two really injured arms, and that stab to the abdomen...Luckily he sealed that up...Wow, he lasted an entire fight...That's...really incredible..."
Jaune said, as he took a knee to look at the boy and then look up at Vanilla.
"Good work, girl...You too..."
"It wasn't me...I mean...This idiot...It was all him...He fought for the entire village and for my sake..." Vanilla turned out to have tears rolling down her eyes, as one of those tears falls down to Tony's eyelid to his cheek.
"Don't cry, Vanilla...Please no..." Kita went over to hug her from behind.
Ryuuto and Velvet joins in on the hug.
"You really were great teaming with Tony in the end...Thank you for helping him...." Velvet said with a smile on her face.
"You did a great job alongside with us fighting Cinder before Tony got here...And getting over that fear over Cinder....Amazing work, kiddo..." Ryuuto whispered and smiled.
Tony smiled and shortly said to Vanilla, as he kept his eyes closed.
"Vanilla...You are seriously a strong person...Don't take anyone's word for granted...You did great, and your efforts to bring me back to my senses and also confessing your love...I loved every word of what you said. That just made me fall in love with you, even more...Honestly...I was scared to confess my love for you too when we were young and when we went to Beacon together...But, I am not scared anymore. I love you from the bottom of my heart, alright? Not just as a friend...More than that....Y'know?"
He held out his hand when he is laying on Vanilla's lap as Vanilla grasped to Tony's hand...
"Yes. Yes, I do know...You big idiot...I love you too, alright?..."
"This is our...Gray Flame..."
She thought in her mind, as the rain stops and the skies are blue once more.
She reached down to kiss him on the forehead as everyone else cheers for the end of this war. The episode ends as it goes into a white background.
