Update on the Release Date of RWBY: After the Fall Season 3
Hiya, guys. This is RWBYFan19_, again. Actually, I am gonna be Tony Battiste for this post. This is a real life and the status of Season 3, as of now type of update...I hope you all enjoyed the rest of Part One of After the Fall. It was an amazing two season cours! I also hope y'all loved the extra episode as well. Don't worry, y'all...Season 3 is coming and it's currently in progress with the opening and ending visuals. I will definitely put a lot of work into it. Anywho, I do have an update on the release date for ATF S3. It was originally set to come out on May 15th, this coming month. They are some family issues I gotta work out on at the moment. Family is slowly breaking apart, piece by piece...It's making my mental health decline a bit, and it's not in a good way.
So, this is very much unfortunate news that ATF S3 will need to be pushed back into June, July, or August. Potentially, the date release most likely will be in August. This is an out of nowhere update, I know. But, I need to see how this goes from here on out with my family and my mental health. Also, I will at least get to spend time more with my girlfriend and also, my grandmother's birthday comes in July 12th. A week after mine, which is on the fourth.
Hopefully, a update will come on the concrete-said release date. I am deeply sorry to my ATF family and to all of the readers. But, I can announce right now. Seasons 1-2 will be posted all into one full part with some several minor changes to the OP's and ED's throughout the entire first part.
Don't know when it'll come but whenever I can. That'll be worked on right away. But, don't worry. In no time, the OP and ED's for Season 3 will come out as soon as possible as well.
Finally, I wanna thank you ATF readers and fans tuning into After the Fall in these last few months! Thank you all and hopefully, I will see you all back for Season 3, this summer!
Sincerely,
Your Writer,
Tony Battiste

Writer's Note: Sup, guys? Welcome to the extra episode of RWBY: After the Fall! I am glad you guys made it back for this episode! As I announced on the finale, there was a extra episode but didn't explain the details on what will be featured. Soooo...Here it is! This extra episode takes place one year following Tony Shimura leaving Britannia Village, following the wars and Britannia's recovery in the aftermath. Since then, everyone had gone their separate ways. Especially, Tyler Black and Ray Rowe...Hmm, where are they around this time, I wonder. And who was that helped Saiko in the finale? Who was he that shocked her?! Also, I can officially confirm Kyrie Castillo, his cousin, Macie, and Atsuko Reigns, Roman and Asuka's mother are official characters when Season 3 hits...A speaking of Season 3...Here's some information. May 15th will mark the day of Season 3 coming out. What will the themes be? Opening theme will be Sakura Mitsutsuki by SPYAIR, yes...SPYAIR is coming back again for another season and I am excited! The ending theme will be Lily by Luck Life, definitely can't wait to write the visuals for that. Also...What will the amount of episodes Season 3 will get? Possibly 12. Or...another 24..If it was 24, it would be marked as Part 2 of the Series. Since Season 1 did get 24 episodes, in two cours. If it was 12, it'd still be Part 2 but just without a fourth cour in the whole series. Think about it, four cours, all four were all 12 episodes in two parts would make 49 episodes within those two parts (25 in the first part and 24 in the second part). To cut to the chase, most likely it'll be another 24 episodes and it's possible we may get two more episodes to complete this series making it into 51 episodes. Also, when Part 2 comes. It'll be named as RWBY: After the Wars. Now, shall we get to the episode? Oh! I forgot, the last opening will return for this episode as well as the ending theme. Without further delay! Let's get into it!

"Don't worry, V...He'll comeback..." Kaiku said with a smile on her face.
Sagura smiled as well at Vanilla, as she slowly takes out a wrapped up present. "Gotta trust him. If he says he will come back, he will. He made his word and he will never go back on it. Here you go, V. A gift before we go..." She hands it out to Vanilla.
"This is for me? Wait! You guys are going somewhere?" Vanilla asked as she looks at the wrapped present.
"This is for me? Wait! You guys are going somewhere?" Vanilla asked as she looks at the wrapped present.
"Well, yeah! Business as usual when it comes to being a huntress! And yes, girl! It's for you and Tony! I know he'll love it as well as you do! Well...Go on! Open it!" Kaiku cheerfully said out to her.
Vanilla takes the present and she opens it up as she was surprised by the gift. "Wow!"
...And the present was a picture frame with Vanilla, Kita, Tony, Kaiku, and Sagura in a photo, days before Tony's departure. "It was finally finished?!"
"Yep! Thank Old Man Takasugi for that!" Kaiku smiled. She was happy that Vanilla liked it.
Vanilla smiled as well and looked up at them. "Thank you both. I appreciate this. I can't wait for him to return either!" She thought about it and puts the frame down on the table.
In this town, where not a single thing changes
The opening ends with Vanilla placing the picture onto the living room table, and light was reflecting the picture as she would move the picture away from it as it shows Tony, Vanilla, Kita, Kaiku, and Sagura together.
_________________________________________________________________________________
The episode begins off on a flashback from two years ago to days before Tony left Britannia Village...He was seen at Dean's burial site...The place where both Tony and Dean fought at. And it was in the night time as well...
He lays flowers down to the burial and prays for a moment.
"Hey, Dean....This is Tony, your Shield brother and rival...I just wanna apologize for not coming by in the last two months after the wars ended and all... I was trying to figure out on what should I do after all of the wars ended...Since I am the final member of The Shield that remains in our home village. And if you are wondering...Don't worry too much, Kita is doing fine. Especially, she started helping out kids with Old Man Yoshida and her sister. They are all doing well. The villagers, townsfolk of Vale, and more. Everyone is doing good, as of right now. But, I don't know where Tyler is, unfortunately. I was hoping to convince him to stay a little longer, just to help with each other's recovery after we lost you and Roman. I honestly do hope you and Roman are having a good time up there and I'm sure you've gotten caught up with your mother by now. If so, then that makes me sure that you are happy. If you're happy, that makes me very happy to hear as well."
Tony smiled as he tears up and then he remembered...He takes Dean's former Demon-Dweller Sword out of the holster.
"I forgot...I finally gave this sword a name...Ambrose Breaker! I hope you like the name. Hope you love it, brother!"
"I know my son will love that name."
A voice spoke out from behind Tony and walked up to the memorial site, as he takes his jacket off and it was Dean's father, Richard...Visiting his son's burial site for the first time.
Tony's eyes widened as he looked over to his right and he sees Richard. "Mr. Ambrose..."
"I know you're surprised, Tony...I just wanted to come by to finally apologize to my son. And thanking you for helping him seeing the light again up to his death. After all that's happened, I know everyone is angry at me for the way I treated him and Akane. I regret everything of what I did in the past up to now..."
Richard tears up and his voice began to shake...He puts his hands together to make a prayer and then speaks out.
"Dean, it's your father....I feel extremely bad after all of these years of abuse and jailtime...I am here to finally apologize. To you and Akane...I am sorry for everything, for being a shitty, abusive, and more hurtful father to you. I deeply regret everything. I wish I could've been a better father so you wouldn't feel all alone, anymore and emotionally hurt....I know you were suffering for years, and I am sorry for all of it. I understand if you don't wanna forgive your old man. That's totally fine...Akane, you too...Dean, Akane...You have no idea how much you two mean to me. I didn't realize that until now....I know, Akane you're gonna call me an idiot and you as well, Dean. I understand. Call me what you will, I will take it. After you're done and when I make it up there. Please, let's be a family again...Just the three of us. For now, just wait. We'll get there to it, just far from it right now..."
Tony looked over at Richard, and places a hand on his shoulder. "Let's them rest in peace, Mr. Ambrose. Dean...Until next time..."
"Yeah..." Richard nodded as he smiled and looked up at the sky. "Forgive me, when you are ready, you two....Thank you for also coming by, Tony to pray and send your regards to my son..."
Richard bowed to Tony, as Tony handchopped him on the head softly.
"You idiot...Could've saved those words for later when you see them....But, I understand....Don't thank me. It's just me being a brother to him. Brother to Brother, Friend to Friend, Rival to Rival...That's our bond. You focus on rebuilding your bond with him in the afterlife, Father to Son...."
Tony said to Richard, and he means this as he smiled at Richard.
Richard nods, as he stood up and gets close with Tony to whisper in his ear. "Before we part ways. I do have some sort of info on where the other Shield brother is...Tyler Black..."
"You do?!" Tony blinked, this felt totally out of nowhere..."Where?!"
"From what a source told me, he's somewhere up in Mistral." Richard responded back.
"A source? And...Mistral, huh?" Tony asked.
Richard nodded his head at Tony. "Yep....Better hurry, though. He could end up being on the list of Saiko Mayama's victim list, next..."
Tony's eyes widens and looked down, as he grits his teeth. "I see...You have my thanks, Mr. Ambrose..."
"Don't mention it. You are my son's best friend and rival after all...Until next time, Tony." Richard said and backed up as he parts ways with Tony, leaving the village.
Tony walks back to the village. "Now...I know what I need to do...Thanks again, Mr. Ambrose."
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tony returned to the village, and the night was still young...As he returns, he sees the Yoshida residence. He thought about Vanilla...Looking up at the window, which is Vanilla's window to her room...
Vanilla Frost is in her room as her windows were open, as she was asleep.
He walked away as he sighed and went home for the night.
"I'm sorry, Vanilla...I gotta leave...Even though, it's been a short time after the wars ended. There is just one more thing I have to do..." Tony thought in his mind.
Vanilla shortly woke up to close the windows, due to her being cold...She did notice Tony heading home, and she had a feeling Tony just returned after doing a prayer for Dean... "Tony...." She called out to his name in thought, as she returns to bed...
_________________________________________________________________________________
As Tony returns home, he opens the door to see his mother, Velvet cleaning up on the table.
"I'm home, mother..."
"Welcome back, Tony. How was your prayer?" Velvet asked.
"Went well...Mom, can we talk or are you busy?" Tony asked, if his mother had the time to talk for a little bit...
Velvet nods her head and had a questioned look on her face. She wondered on what he wanted to talk about. She stopped what she was doing as she took a chair out and sat down.
Tony joins her at the table and sat down...He was facing her with a look of determination on his face. "Mother, I've decided on what I am gonna do now. I just wanna know what you think..."
"Okay, shoot. What is it that you want to do, my son?" Velvet asked.
"I want to go and search for Tyler. Go all over the world to find him. That's what I want to do. But, in order for me to do so... I gotta leave the village to look for him." Tony said out to Velvet.
Velvet had a look of no surprise, as she understood this...But, she was also concerned for the health of his arms following of what happened.
"I see. I don't mind you looking for him, Tony...But, your arms...What if you run into someone dangerous? I don't wanna see you coming back hurt even more. I mean, you just fought into two brutal fights with Cinder and Dean, back in the wars....And it's already bad enough on how your arms were after those fights... I'd rather stay back until you fully recovered with your arms."
"I'm sorry, mom...But, I can't stand back and do nothing. You know this as much as I do. I want to bring him back and plus, I do have some sort of location on where Tyler is. And that's at Mistral. Plus, I need to get there before something happens to him. I gotta do this. And...I understand he left to find himself. But, I just can't let anyone getting to him before I do..." Tony said out to his mother. "I know it's dangerous, but it can't stop me from coming back and keep trying even more."
Velvet noticed the look in his eyes, it's similar to his father's...His drive and the will to never giving up...Her son grew up to inherit that trait. Although, she doesn't want him to do this...But, he wants to because it's his friend out there by himself...
The drive that keeps him going, the flame never wavers. Like his father. "You're determined, my son. You have grown up to be like him. Alright. Go ahead and bring him back. Just promise...To come back safely. Please?" She got up from her chair and walked up to her son, as she takes her pinky finger out for a pinky promise.
Tony does the same and smiled at his mother, as he intertwines his pinky finger with his mother's and then they put their thumbs up to each other's. "Alright. That's a promise. I'll make my departure by the end of this week."
"Okay, be safe my son." Velvet hugged her son.
Kaiku and Sagura were overhearing their conversation, but they came out to hug him as well in a family hug.
"You better come back safely, Tone." Kaiku said to him.
Sagura nodded in agreement to what Kaiku just said. "Yeah, brother."
"Before you do go, brother...Let's have one last photo together, please?"
"Sure. Why not." Tony said with a smile on his face.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few days later, after Tony made his decision with his family. He did spend the rest of the week with the family, and the townsfolk. He even took separate pictures with his family and the other with his sisters, then finally it was with Kaiku, Sagura, Kita, and Vanilla.
They were at a photo shop in town.
Vanilla was unaware of Tony leaving the village, then when the photo shoot was over. Tony was called over to help out Ben and Ryuuto set up for next year's class in Shoka Shinjuku.
"It's good to see Tony active again after it's been a few months. Don't you agree?" Kita asked to Vanilla, Kaiku and Sagura. She was totally unaware on why he was very active this time around...
Vanilla nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I'm happy to see him being happy again and out doing things again."
"Mhm. Our brother wants to make sure this village sees a better future and without any darkness, this is a good step." Sagura said to the three, as she slightly had a smile on her face.
"Sags! You're smiling again! Haha!" Kaiku laughed and hangs her arm around her neck, smiling..
Sagura's cheeks is a bit red, as she didn't even realize that she was smiling. "Yeah."
"So, his motivation is to make sure the village sees a better future? I wonder about in other places like Vale or Vacuo. I mean, your aunt does still run Course over there and chaos did happen before the war. Didn't it, also...I wonder what his other motivations are too."
"Oh? Well...Not many people knows of the fact that he's got--"
Sagura places a hand on Kaiku's shoulder and slowly shook her head. This signaling not to tell Vanilla and Kita about Tony's upcoming departure.
Kaiku looked down and nodded, understood on what Sagura did there to stop her train of thought.
"Huh? He's got what?" Vanilla asked out of curiosity.
"Is everything okay, you two?" Kita also wanted to know if they were okay, or something. She hoped nothing was wrong at all.
Sagura nodded slowly. "Yeah. We can't tell. Actually, Vanilla...If you wanna know, he told us to tell you that it's okay to ask from him on what he's doing next."
"Oh? I wonder what does he need to tell me..." Vanilla blinked as she watches Tony return into the room where they were.
Tony smiled, as he had two physical copies of the photos and then he raised an eyebrow when he saw the looks on their faces. "I'm back, guys!...Hey, something wrong?"
"Nothing at all, Tone Tone! Hey! We'll meet you back at home, alright!" Kaiku cheerfully spoke, she was normally doing this to let them have some space.
Sagura got up as well. "See you when you get back, brother." She leaves as well behind Kaiku.
Tony shook his head, as he watched Kaiku and Sagura. "Sisters as usual."
"Tony? Can I ask you something?" Vanilla asked.
Tony looked down at Vanilla, as he chose to sat down next to Vanilla and Kita.
"Sure, shoot."
"What is really your plans? I know and understand that you're way more active than you were after the war ended. But, what are you planning to do?" Vanilla wanted to know a clear straight answer from Tony...She was very curious on what's his true plans really are.
"Oh. Well...Where do I start from?! For one, I've been going around all week to help the villagers with numerous of things. Like to keep changing and seeing the village evolve for the better. Two...I needed to spend time with my family because y'know...I haven't really came out of my room for a good while to recover from the war fully. But, my arms are still filled with burns and such. And if I can do this, help out as much as I can for Vacuo and Course Academy, since those horrible times before the war....
...Finally...You may not like this, but...I do have one final job to do and that's bringing Tyler back to the village. Bringing him back home to where he belongs. I will definitely have to do it, by...Leaving the village..." Tony explained his full plans out to Kita and Vanilla.
Vanilla's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that last part. "Wh-What?!"
"Are you serious, Tony? Do you want to do that, especially with your--"
"Don't worry...I can fully function it, but the burns may hurt here and there...But, that's not gonna stop me from keep on going to find him." Tony said, having to cut off Kita's thought there.... "I'm sorry. I made up my mind."
"B-But...You can't..." Vanilla held onto him in a hug and Kita watched, not sure on how to react to this...She was trying not to be in of tears...
"I-I almost lost you, m-more than once! I can't afford to see you go a-and it's too s-soon!" Her voice was very shaky...She didn't know what to say here...
Tony places a hand on her head, and pat it. Her cat ears perked up.
"Vanilla...Don't worry about me...I know you'll worry, but worry not...Just know that Tony Shimura always comes back. As a Shimura, we come back, we never surrender.... That's what my dad always taught me. Come back, never surrender, and never lose your way. Because of you, I found my way again. You hold onto that. And not worry and just hope that I come back. I will...Count on it..."
He smiled, as he takes his hand off of her head and then places her fist onto his forehead. "Never say die, survive if you can, and come back."
"Y-Yeah..." Vanilla smiled as well, as she also tears up a bit.
Tony would kiss her for a moment, as he let's go and stood up as he looked back at both of them.
"Well...I better get ready...Vanilla, stay strong for me. Kita, you keep sending prayers to a brother upstairs. Alright?"
"Yeah!" Kita and Vanilla said at the same time, as Tony walks out of the shop.
As a quick transition scene before Tony leaves, Vanilla returned a kiss back to him before he leaves. Then, he appears to be walking away, leaving the village waving without looking back and everyone waving at him for his "farewell for now"....Kaiku, Sagura, and Velvet were all in tears. As well as Vanilla and she had tears in her eyes.
Tony was seen with a tear coming down from a eye and he looked up at the sky that was so blue and beautiful-looking...
"This is where my journey begins...Let's go..."
_________________________________________________________________________________
A year later in Britannia Village following Tony's departure, Vanilla and Kita helping out their father, Ryuuto with Shoka Shinjuku alongside with Benjamin, once again.
The four were watching the students do their training, in the dojo/training hall.
"Great work, students. Keep it up!" Benjamin was amazed by the performances of the students.
Ryuuto smiled and was happy to see his school having another life following this past year's graduates...That class was very successful, yet crazy and chaotic at times. He looked down at Kita and Vanilla. "Something wrong, girls?"
"No, not at all daddy! It's all great, especially the students. They do remind me of us when we were younger, huh?" Kita cheerfully said with a happy smile and going back to the good times in the dojo.
"You got that right. Haha." Ryuuto said, laughing at the fact.
Benjamin goes in to stop a fight between two students.
Vanilla reminiscences those two kids as Dean and Tony, from a long time ago when they almost thrown punches for real. She immediately thought of Tony..."Where are you, Tony? I hope the search is going well."
"What about you, Vanilla? Is there something troubling you?" Ryuuto asked.
Vanilla snapped out of it and she looked up at her father. She slowly nodded. "Yeah. I'm just thinking."
"Thinking about Tony, aren't you?" Ryuuto smiled, and guessed on if that's what she is thinking about right at this moment.
"How'd you--"
"Well, I am your father after all, Vanilla. I know these things. But, really though. Don't worry too much, and never give up on what he said. Kita told me what he said to you. He said, he will always come back and never surrenders. Not anymore. And who made that possible? You did...He told you to hold onto that until he gets back. Right?"
"Y-Yeah..." Vanilla nodded slowly, as Ryuuto pokes her forehead with his two fingers and smiled.
"Always trust his word. Believe in it. He will come back. It's just that, it may take time. Alright?"
Vanilla smiled a bit and a tear comes down from her face. "Yeah. Thank you, Dad." She hugs him, and Ryuuto embraces the hug.
"No problem, my kiddo."
Ryuuto said to Vanilla as Kita laughed. "You're my kiddo too, Kita."
Kita's face began glow in red a bit. "Y-Yeah? You sure about that?"
Ryuuto and Vanilla laughed, as Kita joined the laughter as well.

"Damn, damn, dammiiiitt!!!!"
Tyler shouted out and he started shooting at several of these masked men, there was no telling on where he was at this point. He happens to be in the Fall Forever Forest...
"Who the hell are these masked men?! Shit!"
One of the men attempts to slash at him from behind and the other man comes in front of Tyler with a dagger...Tyler jumped up in the air and released both legs out wide open to kick at both men at once...He notices another man coming up from above with his sword.
Tyler quickly sees it and shot out a few bullets at the man...
The man got shot in the shoulder twice and a fatal shot to the forehead.
"Impressive, very impressive..." A male voice spoke out and the man was clapping his hands at the incredible fighting he can do and his "good senses".
"Who the hell are you?!" Tyler proceeded to point the gun at the man.
The man reveals out to be a familiar face that Tyler knows.
Tyler's eyes widens and he froze in complete shock.... He couldn't even believe it.
"N-No way...Are you....?! But, there's no way...."
The man had a smirk on his face and he looked up at Tyler. "Good to see you, little brother..."
"T-There is no way...No fucking way, you never were there for me! There is no way...." He couldn't just believe it at all.
Then, a singing voice can be heard from behind and Tyler's vision slowly gets a little blurry.
"W-What the hell is this?!" Tyler tries to cover his ears as he slowly looked up to his brother, Jason Black....
"Don't worry, little Tyler. Your mother's got you..." A female voice spoke out and she hugged him from behind and kept singing into his ear, until he fell into a deep sleep...
Tyler was close from his eyes closing, he slowly looked up at her. "M-Mom...No way..." He closes his eyes officially and falls asleep.
"Please come back to us, Tyler. Your mother misses you..." She lastly spoke and that was the last thing he heard.
_________________________________________________________________________________
In the present day, for two years later following his departure from Britannia Village, Tony is seen on a boat actually making it to Mistral..He had a full on new look, longer hair and a dark black cloak with both of his hands taped up all the way up to his arms.
He had been traveling place to place...Looking for Tyler, his Shield brother.
"Well...This is it..."
Tony looked up as he gets off the boat onto the docks...He enters the town and it was the night time still. Nobody was out at this time, but him....As there was fog everywhere at this time of the night as well "Hm, another sleeping town huh?...Looks like I may wanna find somewhere to rest for the night..."
"Well, well, well....If it isn't the Britannia's War Hero, Tony Shimura... " A male voice spoke out from behind, as the male would point a sword at Tony. While most of his gang, came out and pointed their weapons at him.
Tony sighed, but he smirked at them as he would look back at the man. "I see you're the person we confronted awhile back. How'd the ass kicking feel huh?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO OUR LEADER?!" A man within the group yelled out to him.
"Oh, nothing that's your business, loser. I was just talking about on how badly you losers got your asses handed to by all of us, long time ago. Oh...And what happened to the--"
The woman that got her eye scorched a long time ago by Dean would slap Tony in the face. He didn't seem to feel that slap. "Shut up, Shimura...We are supposed to do our job by bringing you back to the person that claims to "have" you and take you forever..."
"I see...You're referring to Saiko Mayama. Right? If you want to take me, you're gonna have to force me to go. I will not go down without a fight." Tony said, as he slowly reaches down to his gun holster where Siegfried was.
A sword starts flying out from a tree into the middle of Tony and the girl and the sword lands to the ground....He looked up above, as he would then quickly take out Siegfried and turned around as the leader went to attempt and slash at Tony..
Tony ducked under, as the leader misses and he shoots the man in the back of his head.
"LEADER!"
Then, Tony manages to fleet off onto jumping onto a few smaller building to building.
Before the gang members got to Tony. Someone came out from the trees shooting a row of sword blades at the members. "WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!?!" The woman just stood there without hesitation, running away from this...
In result of it all, the gang members were taken down by those swords..And that someone who came out from the trees...He revealed out to have a slash-like mark going across his face and longer hair with entirely a new look...The man was Ray Rowe, the man who disappeared one year ago following the war.
"W-Who the hell are you and why the hell are you?!" The leader walked up to Ray and he attempts to punch in the face, while limping on one leg.
Ray catches the punch and he had a cold look in his eyes. And he pulls the leader back to him and he punches him in the stomach, really hard.
The leader went down to his knees and coughed out blood from how hard the punch was. Ray would shove his boot onto the man's head and kicks his head and neck in a few times, relentlessly and mercilessly...
He had a very cold look in his eyes...When he got done, he grabbed the leader by the collar.
"Where...is...Saiko....Mayama?!"
The leader didn't seem to answer since he had been knocked out from the vicious boots to the head and neck....The woman just had enough of looking and watching this attack go down like the way it just did...She turns him around and shoves him.
"I think that's enough, buddy..."
"...Hmph..." Ray had a very emotionless look on his face, he didn't seem to care...He looked down at the knocked out leader. "Whatever....If you won't tell me where she is then, fine..."
He said as he let's go of the man's arm and he dropped to the ground. Ray walks away...
"Who are---" Her question gets cut off, and she stepped up to him. Once she did, he gave her a look that was very cold and dark....
After a year of searching, he lost his way of being a huntsmen and turned into this merciless and relentless person who wanted revenge for his teammate and friend. He just saved that friend.
"Ray Rowe...." He shortly said, as he kept walking away.
The woman blinked and needed to think for a moment on who Ray Rowe was again. He leaves her in the area, by herself....
That name of Ray Rowe sounded familiar to her...But, what?
"Ray...He has changed, in such little time....So, he's looking for Saiko..." Tony thought out loud to himself, as he was on top of a tree branch in the forest, after quickly getting away. "Interesting...."
"And the way he talked and did things out there...I'm guessing he's lost his way, completely...Lost himself, like I almost have...."
He balled up his fist and Tony looks up into the sky, as the moonlight shines onto him.
"I will not let that happen...Count on it, Ray. Don't worry, Tyler...I will find you and I will save you, Ray....From yourself!"
Tony said out loud as he took his fist out, pointing it towards the moon.
Asuka Reigns happened to be down below on where he was...She knew that voice had to be Tony's....No mistaken it...
"So, Ray Rowe is after her too....Huh? And Tony may get involved....This is not gonna turn out for the better at all, now will it?" She thought as she walked away before Tony even sees her.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Mutsuko Crowe was at her sister's home in the Crowe/Shimura residence.
"So, sis? Any word on where Tony is...? Have you heard anything new?" Mutsuko asked, as she takes a sip of her coffee.
Velvet nodded her head and she looked at the family photo of her, Kaiku, Sagura, and Tony together before he left on his final day at the village.
"Well, yeah. He did manage to call on my birthday, and the sisters' as well...He always talk about on how much he misses us, you, Ben, and everyone in the village. But, as always. He told us not to worry, because he is doing fine. That's all I need to know, is to know that he's alright....The bad news about it is the fact that Tony's search for Tyler is still cold as of now. It's difficult to even know where he is at this very moment."
"It's good to know that my nephew is doing fine. But, Tyler is still missing?"
Velvet once again nodded her head. "Yeah. From what he told me, it's difficult to even spot him in a certain place. Especially with Tyler moving town to town, place to place very rapidly...."
"Oh, I see...So, Velvet...Did you not hear a rumor making the rounds? It's a very interesting development story, right now."
"Hm? A rumor? What is it?" Velvet curiously asked, wondering on what Mutsuko is referring to.
Mutsuko assumed that Velvet wasn't aware of this..She told her what the rumor was. "So...Rumor is...You remember the girl that was crazy over Tony? Saiko Mayama...People claim that she is still alive, and is now with somebody as well...."
"What?!" Velvet's eyes widened in total shock, and she shook her head. She just couldn't believe it..."I thought we got her arrested along with Cinder...."
"Nope. She got away, as soon as the wars ended...According to the report Ben made on her....Ever since, we weren't sure on where Mayama could have gone to or who she met along the way and then, deciding to protect her...." Mutsuko explained.
"That can't be....And Tony's out there somewhere, so as Tyler....But, who could she go after?!" Velvet wondered in her mind, as Mutsuko had more to say and this stopped her train of thought.
"Also, one of my former students, Ray Rowe....From what Emilia Rose and Himiko Ren told me, he's after her. He may got some sort of assumption that she is still targeting for Tony or at least, planning to take out Tyler and then getting to Tony....It may sound like as if Ray knows on what's going on what this whole entire thing...." The Ice Queen added to her point.
Velvet nods slowly. She is trying to put the pieces together for what is happening, right at this very moment with Mayama. "I see..." She is thinking about how will end up on...
"So, if there is someone out there who would wanna save Mayama...Then, who would it be?" She asked.
"Not sure, but whoever they are....They got a death wish upon them...." Mutsuko said, as she looked out to the window and she sees snow coming down from the sky.
_________________________________________________________________________________
"Sounds like our plans are working out, but that gang...They were a bad idea, leader. We should've sent the Blacks to get my teddy bear! I want, I WANT, I WAAANT! HIM!!!!!!" Saiko shouted out loud as she gripped her hair with her fingers and started to have a psychotic laughter.
"I-I want...B-Black to get THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!!!!"
"Calm down, Little Saiko....It's okay, we'll bring Shimura back to you. Just be patient. Alright?" The man came up to Saiko and caresses her face as he gave her a evil smile. "As for Rowe and Black. They'll be out of your way, because I will cut them down for you. As you wish for it....Can you wait?"
"O-Of course. Thank you..." Saiko stopped the laughter to return the evil smile back at him.
The man looked up at the multiple monitors which his men had small cameras set up on their attires....One monitor shown Kaiku and Sagura being surrounded by his men. Then, Seth Thurston taking on some of them.
"They will all pay for your suffering, Saiko....I'm making sure of it now..." The man turned around to look back at the psychotic girl....
"Yes, Mr. Utsuro....THEY WILL ALL PAY!!!!!!!" Saiko laughed out loud psychotically as she started to roll on the floor.
The man looked down at Saiko, as she was enjoying to see their pain...His face was revealed out to be a man in a mask...Behind that mask and under the name "Utsuro"...Happens to be Shoyo Yoshida....The former Shoyo Yoshida.
"Your students and this new generation will die....Ryuuto..." Utsuro said out his final thoughts as he takes a little walk outside and puts his mask on and as he went out the door the light reflects everything as the episode ends.
_________________________________________________________________________________
He lays flowers down to the burial and prays for a moment.
"Hey, Dean....This is Tony, your Shield brother and rival...I just wanna apologize for not coming by in the last two months after the wars ended and all... I was trying to figure out on what should I do after all of the wars ended...Since I am the final member of The Shield that remains in our home village. And if you are wondering...Don't worry too much, Kita is doing fine. Especially, she started helping out kids with Old Man Yoshida and her sister. They are all doing well. The villagers, townsfolk of Vale, and more. Everyone is doing good, as of right now. But, I don't know where Tyler is, unfortunately. I was hoping to convince him to stay a little longer, just to help with each other's recovery after we lost you and Roman. I honestly do hope you and Roman are having a good time up there and I'm sure you've gotten caught up with your mother by now. If so, then that makes me sure that you are happy. If you're happy, that makes me very happy to hear as well."
Tony smiled as he tears up and then he remembered...He takes Dean's former Demon-Dweller Sword out of the holster.
"I forgot...I finally gave this sword a name...Ambrose Breaker! I hope you like the name. Hope you love it, brother!"
"I know my son will love that name."
A voice spoke out from behind Tony and walked up to the memorial site, as he takes his jacket off and it was Dean's father, Richard...Visiting his son's burial site for the first time.
Tony's eyes widened as he looked over to his right and he sees Richard. "Mr. Ambrose..."
"I know you're surprised, Tony...I just wanted to come by to finally apologize to my son. And thanking you for helping him seeing the light again up to his death. After all that's happened, I know everyone is angry at me for the way I treated him and Akane. I regret everything of what I did in the past up to now..."
Richard tears up and his voice began to shake...He puts his hands together to make a prayer and then speaks out.
"Dean, it's your father....I feel extremely bad after all of these years of abuse and jailtime...I am here to finally apologize. To you and Akane...I am sorry for everything, for being a shitty, abusive, and more hurtful father to you. I deeply regret everything. I wish I could've been a better father so you wouldn't feel all alone, anymore and emotionally hurt....I know you were suffering for years, and I am sorry for all of it. I understand if you don't wanna forgive your old man. That's totally fine...Akane, you too...Dean, Akane...You have no idea how much you two mean to me. I didn't realize that until now....I know, Akane you're gonna call me an idiot and you as well, Dean. I understand. Call me what you will, I will take it. After you're done and when I make it up there. Please, let's be a family again...Just the three of us. For now, just wait. We'll get there to it, just far from it right now..."
Tony looked over at Richard, and places a hand on his shoulder. "Let's them rest in peace, Mr. Ambrose. Dean...Until next time..."
"Yeah..." Richard nodded as he smiled and looked up at the sky. "Forgive me, when you are ready, you two....Thank you for also coming by, Tony to pray and send your regards to my son..."
Richard bowed to Tony, as Tony handchopped him on the head softly.
"You idiot...Could've saved those words for later when you see them....But, I understand....Don't thank me. It's just me being a brother to him. Brother to Brother, Friend to Friend, Rival to Rival...That's our bond. You focus on rebuilding your bond with him in the afterlife, Father to Son...."
Tony said to Richard, and he means this as he smiled at Richard.
Richard nods, as he stood up and gets close with Tony to whisper in his ear. "Before we part ways. I do have some sort of info on where the other Shield brother is...Tyler Black..."
"You do?!" Tony blinked, this felt totally out of nowhere..."Where?!"
"From what a source told me, he's somewhere up in Mistral." Richard responded back.
"A source? And...Mistral, huh?" Tony asked.
Richard nodded his head at Tony. "Yep....Better hurry, though. He could end up being on the list of Saiko Mayama's victim list, next..."
Tony's eyes widens and looked down, as he grits his teeth. "I see...You have my thanks, Mr. Ambrose..."
"Don't mention it. You are my son's best friend and rival after all...Until next time, Tony." Richard said and backed up as he parts ways with Tony, leaving the village.
Tony walks back to the village. "Now...I know what I need to do...Thanks again, Mr. Ambrose."
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tony returned to the village, and the night was still young...As he returns, he sees the Yoshida residence. He thought about Vanilla...Looking up at the window, which is Vanilla's window to her room...
Vanilla Frost is in her room as her windows were open, as she was asleep.
He walked away as he sighed and went home for the night.
"I'm sorry, Vanilla...I gotta leave...Even though, it's been a short time after the wars ended. There is just one more thing I have to do..." Tony thought in his mind.
Vanilla shortly woke up to close the windows, due to her being cold...She did notice Tony heading home, and she had a feeling Tony just returned after doing a prayer for Dean... "Tony...." She called out to his name in thought, as she returns to bed...
_________________________________________________________________________________
As Tony returns home, he opens the door to see his mother, Velvet cleaning up on the table.
"I'm home, mother..."
"Welcome back, Tony. How was your prayer?" Velvet asked.
"Went well...Mom, can we talk or are you busy?" Tony asked, if his mother had the time to talk for a little bit...
Velvet nods her head and had a questioned look on her face. She wondered on what he wanted to talk about. She stopped what she was doing as she took a chair out and sat down.
Tony joins her at the table and sat down...He was facing her with a look of determination on his face. "Mother, I've decided on what I am gonna do now. I just wanna know what you think..."
"Okay, shoot. What is it that you want to do, my son?" Velvet asked.
"I want to go and search for Tyler. Go all over the world to find him. That's what I want to do. But, in order for me to do so... I gotta leave the village to look for him." Tony said out to Velvet.
Velvet had a look of no surprise, as she understood this...But, she was also concerned for the health of his arms following of what happened.
"I see. I don't mind you looking for him, Tony...But, your arms...What if you run into someone dangerous? I don't wanna see you coming back hurt even more. I mean, you just fought into two brutal fights with Cinder and Dean, back in the wars....And it's already bad enough on how your arms were after those fights... I'd rather stay back until you fully recovered with your arms."
"I'm sorry, mom...But, I can't stand back and do nothing. You know this as much as I do. I want to bring him back and plus, I do have some sort of location on where Tyler is. And that's at Mistral. Plus, I need to get there before something happens to him. I gotta do this. And...I understand he left to find himself. But, I just can't let anyone getting to him before I do..." Tony said out to his mother. "I know it's dangerous, but it can't stop me from coming back and keep trying even more."
Velvet noticed the look in his eyes, it's similar to his father's...His drive and the will to never giving up...Her son grew up to inherit that trait. Although, she doesn't want him to do this...But, he wants to because it's his friend out there by himself...
The drive that keeps him going, the flame never wavers. Like his father. "You're determined, my son. You have grown up to be like him. Alright. Go ahead and bring him back. Just promise...To come back safely. Please?" She got up from her chair and walked up to her son, as she takes her pinky finger out for a pinky promise.
Tony does the same and smiled at his mother, as he intertwines his pinky finger with his mother's and then they put their thumbs up to each other's. "Alright. That's a promise. I'll make my departure by the end of this week."
"Okay, be safe my son." Velvet hugged her son.
Kaiku and Sagura were overhearing their conversation, but they came out to hug him as well in a family hug.
"You better come back safely, Tone." Kaiku said to him.
Sagura nodded in agreement to what Kaiku just said. "Yeah, brother."
"Before you do go, brother...Let's have one last photo together, please?"
"Sure. Why not." Tony said with a smile on his face.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few days later, after Tony made his decision with his family. He did spend the rest of the week with the family, and the townsfolk. He even took separate pictures with his family and the other with his sisters, then finally it was with Kaiku, Sagura, Kita, and Vanilla.
They were at a photo shop in town.
Vanilla was unaware of Tony leaving the village, then when the photo shoot was over. Tony was called over to help out Ben and Ryuuto set up for next year's class in Shoka Shinjuku.
"It's good to see Tony active again after it's been a few months. Don't you agree?" Kita asked to Vanilla, Kaiku and Sagura. She was totally unaware on why he was very active this time around...
Vanilla nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I'm happy to see him being happy again and out doing things again."
"Mhm. Our brother wants to make sure this village sees a better future and without any darkness, this is a good step." Sagura said to the three, as she slightly had a smile on her face.
"Sags! You're smiling again! Haha!" Kaiku laughed and hangs her arm around her neck, smiling..
Sagura's cheeks is a bit red, as she didn't even realize that she was smiling. "Yeah."
"So, his motivation is to make sure the village sees a better future? I wonder about in other places like Vale or Vacuo. I mean, your aunt does still run Course over there and chaos did happen before the war. Didn't it, also...I wonder what his other motivations are too."
"Oh? Well...Not many people knows of the fact that he's got--"
Sagura places a hand on Kaiku's shoulder and slowly shook her head. This signaling not to tell Vanilla and Kita about Tony's upcoming departure.
Kaiku looked down and nodded, understood on what Sagura did there to stop her train of thought.
"Huh? He's got what?" Vanilla asked out of curiosity.
"Is everything okay, you two?" Kita also wanted to know if they were okay, or something. She hoped nothing was wrong at all.
Sagura nodded slowly. "Yeah. We can't tell. Actually, Vanilla...If you wanna know, he told us to tell you that it's okay to ask from him on what he's doing next."
"Oh? I wonder what does he need to tell me..." Vanilla blinked as she watches Tony return into the room where they were.
Tony smiled, as he had two physical copies of the photos and then he raised an eyebrow when he saw the looks on their faces. "I'm back, guys!...Hey, something wrong?"
"Nothing at all, Tone Tone! Hey! We'll meet you back at home, alright!" Kaiku cheerfully spoke, she was normally doing this to let them have some space.
Sagura got up as well. "See you when you get back, brother." She leaves as well behind Kaiku.
Tony shook his head, as he watched Kaiku and Sagura. "Sisters as usual."
"Tony? Can I ask you something?" Vanilla asked.
Tony looked down at Vanilla, as he chose to sat down next to Vanilla and Kita.
"Sure, shoot."
"What is really your plans? I know and understand that you're way more active than you were after the war ended. But, what are you planning to do?" Vanilla wanted to know a clear straight answer from Tony...She was very curious on what's his true plans really are.
"Oh. Well...Where do I start from?! For one, I've been going around all week to help the villagers with numerous of things. Like to keep changing and seeing the village evolve for the better. Two...I needed to spend time with my family because y'know...I haven't really came out of my room for a good while to recover from the war fully. But, my arms are still filled with burns and such. And if I can do this, help out as much as I can for Vacuo and Course Academy, since those horrible times before the war....
...Finally...You may not like this, but...I do have one final job to do and that's bringing Tyler back to the village. Bringing him back home to where he belongs. I will definitely have to do it, by...Leaving the village..." Tony explained his full plans out to Kita and Vanilla.
Vanilla's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that last part. "Wh-What?!"
"Are you serious, Tony? Do you want to do that, especially with your--"
"Don't worry...I can fully function it, but the burns may hurt here and there...But, that's not gonna stop me from keep on going to find him." Tony said, having to cut off Kita's thought there.... "I'm sorry. I made up my mind."
"B-But...You can't..." Vanilla held onto him in a hug and Kita watched, not sure on how to react to this...She was trying not to be in of tears...
"I-I almost lost you, m-more than once! I can't afford to see you go a-and it's too s-soon!" Her voice was very shaky...She didn't know what to say here...
Tony places a hand on her head, and pat it. Her cat ears perked up.
"Vanilla...Don't worry about me...I know you'll worry, but worry not...Just know that Tony Shimura always comes back. As a Shimura, we come back, we never surrender.... That's what my dad always taught me. Come back, never surrender, and never lose your way. Because of you, I found my way again. You hold onto that. And not worry and just hope that I come back. I will...Count on it..."
He smiled, as he takes his hand off of her head and then places her fist onto his forehead. "Never say die, survive if you can, and come back."
"Y-Yeah..." Vanilla smiled as well, as she also tears up a bit.
Tony would kiss her for a moment, as he let's go and stood up as he looked back at both of them.
"Well...I better get ready...Vanilla, stay strong for me. Kita, you keep sending prayers to a brother upstairs. Alright?"
"Yeah!" Kita and Vanilla said at the same time, as Tony walks out of the shop.
As a quick transition scene before Tony leaves, Vanilla returned a kiss back to him before he leaves. Then, he appears to be walking away, leaving the village waving without looking back and everyone waving at him for his "farewell for now"....Kaiku, Sagura, and Velvet were all in tears. As well as Vanilla and she had tears in her eyes.
Tony was seen with a tear coming down from a eye and he looked up at the sky that was so blue and beautiful-looking...
"This is where my journey begins...Let's go..."
_________________________________________________________________________________
A year later in Britannia Village following Tony's departure, Vanilla and Kita helping out their father, Ryuuto with Shoka Shinjuku alongside with Benjamin, once again.
The four were watching the students do their training, in the dojo/training hall.
"Great work, students. Keep it up!" Benjamin was amazed by the performances of the students.
Ryuuto smiled and was happy to see his school having another life following this past year's graduates...That class was very successful, yet crazy and chaotic at times. He looked down at Kita and Vanilla. "Something wrong, girls?"
"No, not at all daddy! It's all great, especially the students. They do remind me of us when we were younger, huh?" Kita cheerfully said with a happy smile and going back to the good times in the dojo.
"You got that right. Haha." Ryuuto said, laughing at the fact.
Benjamin goes in to stop a fight between two students.
Vanilla reminiscences those two kids as Dean and Tony, from a long time ago when they almost thrown punches for real. She immediately thought of Tony..."Where are you, Tony? I hope the search is going well."
"What about you, Vanilla? Is there something troubling you?" Ryuuto asked.
Vanilla snapped out of it and she looked up at her father. She slowly nodded. "Yeah. I'm just thinking."
"Thinking about Tony, aren't you?" Ryuuto smiled, and guessed on if that's what she is thinking about right at this moment.
"How'd you--"
"Well, I am your father after all, Vanilla. I know these things. But, really though. Don't worry too much, and never give up on what he said. Kita told me what he said to you. He said, he will always come back and never surrenders. Not anymore. And who made that possible? You did...He told you to hold onto that until he gets back. Right?"
"Y-Yeah..." Vanilla nodded slowly, as Ryuuto pokes her forehead with his two fingers and smiled.
"Always trust his word. Believe in it. He will come back. It's just that, it may take time. Alright?"
Vanilla smiled a bit and a tear comes down from her face. "Yeah. Thank you, Dad." She hugs him, and Ryuuto embraces the hug.
"No problem, my kiddo."
Ryuuto said to Vanilla as Kita laughed. "You're my kiddo too, Kita."
Kita's face began glow in red a bit. "Y-Yeah? You sure about that?"
Ryuuto and Vanilla laughed, as Kita joined the laughter as well.

"Damn, damn, dammiiiitt!!!!"
Tyler shouted out and he started shooting at several of these masked men, there was no telling on where he was at this point. He happens to be in the Fall Forever Forest...
"Who the hell are these masked men?! Shit!"
One of the men attempts to slash at him from behind and the other man comes in front of Tyler with a dagger...Tyler jumped up in the air and released both legs out wide open to kick at both men at once...He notices another man coming up from above with his sword.
Tyler quickly sees it and shot out a few bullets at the man...
The man got shot in the shoulder twice and a fatal shot to the forehead.
"Impressive, very impressive..." A male voice spoke out and the man was clapping his hands at the incredible fighting he can do and his "good senses".
"Who the hell are you?!" Tyler proceeded to point the gun at the man.
The man reveals out to be a familiar face that Tyler knows.
Tyler's eyes widens and he froze in complete shock.... He couldn't even believe it.
"N-No way...Are you....?! But, there's no way...."
The man had a smirk on his face and he looked up at Tyler. "Good to see you, little brother..."
"T-There is no way...No fucking way, you never were there for me! There is no way...." He couldn't just believe it at all.
Then, a singing voice can be heard from behind and Tyler's vision slowly gets a little blurry.
"W-What the hell is this?!" Tyler tries to cover his ears as he slowly looked up to his brother, Jason Black....
"Don't worry, little Tyler. Your mother's got you..." A female voice spoke out and she hugged him from behind and kept singing into his ear, until he fell into a deep sleep...
Tyler was close from his eyes closing, he slowly looked up at her. "M-Mom...No way..." He closes his eyes officially and falls asleep.
"Please come back to us, Tyler. Your mother misses you..." She lastly spoke and that was the last thing he heard.
_________________________________________________________________________________
In the present day, for two years later following his departure from Britannia Village, Tony is seen on a boat actually making it to Mistral..He had a full on new look, longer hair and a dark black cloak with both of his hands taped up all the way up to his arms.
He had been traveling place to place...Looking for Tyler, his Shield brother.
"Well...This is it..."
Tony looked up as he gets off the boat onto the docks...He enters the town and it was the night time still. Nobody was out at this time, but him....As there was fog everywhere at this time of the night as well "Hm, another sleeping town huh?...Looks like I may wanna find somewhere to rest for the night..."
"Well, well, well....If it isn't the Britannia's War Hero, Tony Shimura... " A male voice spoke out from behind, as the male would point a sword at Tony. While most of his gang, came out and pointed their weapons at him.
Tony sighed, but he smirked at them as he would look back at the man. "I see you're the person we confronted awhile back. How'd the ass kicking feel huh?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO OUR LEADER?!" A man within the group yelled out to him.
"Oh, nothing that's your business, loser. I was just talking about on how badly you losers got your asses handed to by all of us, long time ago. Oh...And what happened to the--"
The woman that got her eye scorched a long time ago by Dean would slap Tony in the face. He didn't seem to feel that slap. "Shut up, Shimura...We are supposed to do our job by bringing you back to the person that claims to "have" you and take you forever..."
"I see...You're referring to Saiko Mayama. Right? If you want to take me, you're gonna have to force me to go. I will not go down without a fight." Tony said, as he slowly reaches down to his gun holster where Siegfried was.
A sword starts flying out from a tree into the middle of Tony and the girl and the sword lands to the ground....He looked up above, as he would then quickly take out Siegfried and turned around as the leader went to attempt and slash at Tony..
Tony ducked under, as the leader misses and he shoots the man in the back of his head.
"LEADER!"
Then, Tony manages to fleet off onto jumping onto a few smaller building to building.
Before the gang members got to Tony. Someone came out from the trees shooting a row of sword blades at the members. "WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!?!" The woman just stood there without hesitation, running away from this...
In result of it all, the gang members were taken down by those swords..And that someone who came out from the trees...He revealed out to have a slash-like mark going across his face and longer hair with entirely a new look...The man was Ray Rowe, the man who disappeared one year ago following the war.
"W-Who the hell are you and why the hell are you?!" The leader walked up to Ray and he attempts to punch in the face, while limping on one leg.
Ray catches the punch and he had a cold look in his eyes. And he pulls the leader back to him and he punches him in the stomach, really hard.
The leader went down to his knees and coughed out blood from how hard the punch was. Ray would shove his boot onto the man's head and kicks his head and neck in a few times, relentlessly and mercilessly...
He had a very cold look in his eyes...When he got done, he grabbed the leader by the collar.
"Where...is...Saiko....Mayama?!"
The leader didn't seem to answer since he had been knocked out from the vicious boots to the head and neck....The woman just had enough of looking and watching this attack go down like the way it just did...She turns him around and shoves him.
"I think that's enough, buddy..."
"...Hmph..." Ray had a very emotionless look on his face, he didn't seem to care...He looked down at the knocked out leader. "Whatever....If you won't tell me where she is then, fine..."
He said as he let's go of the man's arm and he dropped to the ground. Ray walks away...
"Who are---" Her question gets cut off, and she stepped up to him. Once she did, he gave her a look that was very cold and dark....
After a year of searching, he lost his way of being a huntsmen and turned into this merciless and relentless person who wanted revenge for his teammate and friend. He just saved that friend.
"Ray Rowe...." He shortly said, as he kept walking away.
The woman blinked and needed to think for a moment on who Ray Rowe was again. He leaves her in the area, by herself....
That name of Ray Rowe sounded familiar to her...But, what?
"Ray...He has changed, in such little time....So, he's looking for Saiko..." Tony thought out loud to himself, as he was on top of a tree branch in the forest, after quickly getting away. "Interesting...."
"And the way he talked and did things out there...I'm guessing he's lost his way, completely...Lost himself, like I almost have...."
He balled up his fist and Tony looks up into the sky, as the moonlight shines onto him.
"I will not let that happen...Count on it, Ray. Don't worry, Tyler...I will find you and I will save you, Ray....From yourself!"
Tony said out loud as he took his fist out, pointing it towards the moon.
Asuka Reigns happened to be down below on where he was...She knew that voice had to be Tony's....No mistaken it...
"So, Ray Rowe is after her too....Huh? And Tony may get involved....This is not gonna turn out for the better at all, now will it?" She thought as she walked away before Tony even sees her.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Mutsuko Crowe was at her sister's home in the Crowe/Shimura residence.
"So, sis? Any word on where Tony is...? Have you heard anything new?" Mutsuko asked, as she takes a sip of her coffee.
Velvet nodded her head and she looked at the family photo of her, Kaiku, Sagura, and Tony together before he left on his final day at the village.
"Well, yeah. He did manage to call on my birthday, and the sisters' as well...He always talk about on how much he misses us, you, Ben, and everyone in the village. But, as always. He told us not to worry, because he is doing fine. That's all I need to know, is to know that he's alright....The bad news about it is the fact that Tony's search for Tyler is still cold as of now. It's difficult to even know where he is at this very moment."
"It's good to know that my nephew is doing fine. But, Tyler is still missing?"
Velvet once again nodded her head. "Yeah. From what he told me, it's difficult to even spot him in a certain place. Especially with Tyler moving town to town, place to place very rapidly...."
"Oh, I see...So, Velvet...Did you not hear a rumor making the rounds? It's a very interesting development story, right now."
"Hm? A rumor? What is it?" Velvet curiously asked, wondering on what Mutsuko is referring to.
Mutsuko assumed that Velvet wasn't aware of this..She told her what the rumor was. "So...Rumor is...You remember the girl that was crazy over Tony? Saiko Mayama...People claim that she is still alive, and is now with somebody as well...."
"What?!" Velvet's eyes widened in total shock, and she shook her head. She just couldn't believe it..."I thought we got her arrested along with Cinder...."
"Nope. She got away, as soon as the wars ended...According to the report Ben made on her....Ever since, we weren't sure on where Mayama could have gone to or who she met along the way and then, deciding to protect her...." Mutsuko explained.
"That can't be....And Tony's out there somewhere, so as Tyler....But, who could she go after?!" Velvet wondered in her mind, as Mutsuko had more to say and this stopped her train of thought.
"Also, one of my former students, Ray Rowe....From what Emilia Rose and Himiko Ren told me, he's after her. He may got some sort of assumption that she is still targeting for Tony or at least, planning to take out Tyler and then getting to Tony....It may sound like as if Ray knows on what's going on what this whole entire thing...." The Ice Queen added to her point.
Velvet nods slowly. She is trying to put the pieces together for what is happening, right at this very moment with Mayama. "I see..." She is thinking about how will end up on...
"So, if there is someone out there who would wanna save Mayama...Then, who would it be?" She asked.
"Not sure, but whoever they are....They got a death wish upon them...." Mutsuko said, as she looked out to the window and she sees snow coming down from the sky.
_________________________________________________________________________________
"Sounds like our plans are working out, but that gang...They were a bad idea, leader. We should've sent the Blacks to get my teddy bear! I want, I WANT, I WAAANT! HIM!!!!!!" Saiko shouted out loud as she gripped her hair with her fingers and started to have a psychotic laughter.
"I-I want...B-Black to get THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!!!!"
"Calm down, Little Saiko....It's okay, we'll bring Shimura back to you. Just be patient. Alright?" The man came up to Saiko and caresses her face as he gave her a evil smile. "As for Rowe and Black. They'll be out of your way, because I will cut them down for you. As you wish for it....Can you wait?"
"O-Of course. Thank you..." Saiko stopped the laughter to return the evil smile back at him.
The man looked up at the multiple monitors which his men had small cameras set up on their attires....One monitor shown Kaiku and Sagura being surrounded by his men. Then, Seth Thurston taking on some of them.
"They will all pay for your suffering, Saiko....I'm making sure of it now..." The man turned around to look back at the psychotic girl....
"Yes, Mr. Utsuro....THEY WILL ALL PAY!!!!!!!" Saiko laughed out loud psychotically as she started to roll on the floor.
The man looked down at Saiko, as she was enjoying to see their pain...His face was revealed out to be a man in a mask...Behind that mask and under the name "Utsuro"...Happens to be Shoyo Yoshida....The former Shoyo Yoshida.
"Your students and this new generation will die....Ryuuto..." Utsuro said out his final thoughts as he takes a little walk outside and puts his mask on and as he went out the door the light reflects everything as the episode ends.

I got stained by a dirty shirt
Next transition scene would see Jaune Arc running up to Cinder Fall with his sword and attempts to slash at her. But, she blocks his sword attack.. Arc slides to the side after the sword attack attempt. He jumped up in the air as he went for a mid-air sword attack. Cinder blocks this as well as the two clashed with their swords.
The scene fades into white going into the next scene.
A lie to deceive yourself...
Next scene sees Gintoki Sakata, Sayaka Ishiyama, the injured Katsuke Shinoda and Seth Thurston spotted in the forest in Vacuo. A close-up shot shows the four at the same time.
In a far distance shot and goes to make a close up to see Wraith Belladonna going towards for Britannia Village from Vacuo, through tree branch to tree branch until she reaches to the village and is on top of a building as she sees the war going down.
What have you guarded?

Because, you lost it
It would transition to seeing Emilia, Kintoki, Ryuuto, Zaveid, Himiko taking out Cinder's forces, as they showcase their semblances against them.
Spit up and throw it away
The fade in transition for the next scene sees another paint drop of the old Shoka Shinjuku, seen in rubble and there was a small memorial site that was in the middle of the rubble.

And finally, it shows Dean walking away into the light slowly fading away, joining Roman into the light with him shown walking alone without his weapon as he gets a close-up, seeing him with a look of emotion and light in his eyes, giving him that close-up.
This scene fades out into the next scene with Tony.
In this town, where not a single thing changes
The opening ends with someone placing a picture onto a table, and light was reflecting the picture as the person would move the picture away from it as it shows Tony, Vanilla, Kita, Kaiku, and Sagura together.
Velvet nodded as she softly went over to hug her son. "I'm glad you made it alright...I was so worried about you!"
"Hey, Tony...When you get this and read it...I really hope that you are doing okay and your recovery is going great....I'm sorry if I wasn't able to be here for you, at this very moment as the two final Shield members alive. T...Forgive me for not being there and helping you in the fight against Cinder, I felt completely useless compared to how strong you've gotten. Please don't take this as jealousy at all, but I honestly wish I had that type of power in exchange for these weak arms and feet of mine. After everything that's happened to us four...I don't know what to do anymore...I really don't...But, that's okay. As of you're reading this, I've left Vale by now to go on my own to figure out on what I should do next and find ways to get stronger so I can finally stand by your side again and we can be The Shield again, except Roman and Dean are with us in spirit...Who knows what the future holds for me? Or even you, and hell, everyone else too...
...I hope I wasn't more of a burden for you. That's kinda why I want to get stronger even more, so I can finally stand side by side with you again and fight with you like the times when us four were together. It won't be the same, sure. But, it doesn't deny the fact that...Dean and Roman are still down here with us, just in spirit....Again, I am deeply sorry for leaving, T and good luck in recovery. Please don't change. Stay you, stay being a hero at Vale. You are Vale's newest hero and more importantly, you're my hero as well...My brother, my friend, my hero...Thank you again from the bottom of my heart...
Forever Live The Shield,
"You idiot....."
He shortly said, as he puts the note down when he laid the note down. Tony tears up as he covers his eyes with his arm and wipes his tears. Vanilla, Velvet, Kaiku, and Sagura gets into a hug together to comfort him.
_________________________________________________________________________________
As shortly seen, Tyler Black is seen standing knocking on a door...He is seen with his hair grown out and a tape bandage spotted around from his eye.
Apparently, Black is at Mistral, the home of where Roman's mother lives at now.
"I hope...she's here...."
He said to himself. As Black waits, he would turn around to look at the sky.
Atsuko, the mother of Roman and Asuka, had opened the door to think it was either Roman or Asuka! "Hey, kiddo! Welcome ba--" She looked up to see Tyler at the door.
"Wait...Is that you, Tyler?"
"Yes, ma'am. It's me." Tyler gave the mother a smile.
Atsuko hugs Tyler and squeezes him in the hug.
"Heeeeeyyy!!! It's good to see you, Tyler! I haven't seen you since you were very little! How you been, huh?"
"Hey! You're squeezing me, Mrs. Reigns!" He tried to say, catching his breath in the hug.
Atsuko let's go and giggles a bit. "Haha, sorry! It's just it's been years since I've last seen you! So...Why are you here, Tyler? Is there something wrong at all?"
"Well...That's kinda why I am here. Do you have time to talk, Mrs. Reigns?" Tyler asked as his smile turned into a short upset look on his face.
Atsuko blinked and wondered why the upset look he has on his face. She nodded. "Yes I do. You may come in and make yourself comfortable. Also, would you like some tea? I made some."
"Sure thing, Mrs. Reigns. Thank you." Tyler bowed as he walks into the home and he walks past several photos of Roman, even some that was Roman and Tyler as kids, as well as a picture of the three. This brought back memories for him.
As Tyler sat down on the couch, and Atsuko puts tea in their cups. She came over to the put the tea on the table and she sat down. As she faces Tyler.
"Haha, thank you, Tyler. That's really sweet of you!" Atsuko smiled, as she was happy that Tyler still loves her tea.
Tyler looked up at Roman's mother. "Hey...I need to know...Did you know about the ramblings with the wars and everything that's happened?"
"Hm? I actually was aware of everything that went on, yes. What about it?" Atsuko answered.
"Well...What if I mentioned about something inevitable that happened...And it involved Roman--"
"Wait...Sorry to stop you, Tyler. But, I already know about it. Asuka came here a week ago telling me about what really went down and the wars, so on....Don't worry, I'm not sad. Roman...Lived a dream with his best friend and two friends to become a huntsmen and team with people who he called brothers...As long as Roman was happy that he got to live and see it all happen. Y'know, even one time before Roman died. He told me...'Mom...If I die, don't cry and don't be sad. Please don't...It would hurt me to see you hurt more than anything else. My friends, my brothers are the same. Regardless, if one of us die today, that won't stop from The Shield or for that matter, anyone living forever and fornever...Because, either we're still living or we're spirits. The Shield will never die in the hearts of those we've touched. Forever Live The Shield, Fornever Live The Shield...'....That's what he exactly said and I am a proud mother, that I raised my boy to be the best he can be and alongside with his brothers. He lived his dream and he lived by his word. That's what matters...Died living his word and living the dream with his brothers, his friends, and Me as well." Atsuko said to Tyler as she notices Tyler in tears, hearing all of it.
Tyler was also indeed smiling and dries his tears, well trying to..."...Man, I am such a crybaby...Roman....He is the personification of what brotherhood means! He wasn't afraid to die, as long as he lived standing side by side with us...I wish honestly, I was strong like him and Tony..."
"I know, but...You are strong, Tyler...You were strong enough to go through what you went through. Seeing Roman die, having to learn Dean betrayed the team only to die as well, even though it wasn't his fault at all, and watching Tony fight one of the most dangerous people of all and losing your eye...I even heard that you fought your own and teamed with Tony's mother, your sensei, and your friends. That's strong enough. Roman would've honestly appreciated your actions for staying strong like he would've wanted...As his mother, I want to thank you for staying strong for Roman during those hard times..."
Atsuko stood up and bowed to Tyler as a way of saying thanks.
Tyler stopped tearing up as he wiped his tears away. He smiled. "No, thank you, Mrs. Reigns..." He sat up and hugged her.
"If you ever needed anything, Tyler. I don't mind helping. My son..." Atsuko said as she embraced his hug.

At the Vale Medical Facility, Kyrie Castillo was placed in a room and he had already been worked on after Jake stabbed him from behind, luckily missing his full backbone...
Kyrie had been out cold for a week after the war in Britannia ended.
Benjamin was in the room with his cousin, Macie. Macie was worried for Kyrie, very much. She looked over at Ben.
She makes hand signals to him, as a way to talk basically using sign language and she said. "Mr. Shimura, is he going to be okay? Will he wake up?"
Benjamin nodded and does the same back to her in response. "Yeah. I hope so."
"I see." Macie thought in her mind.
Qrow opens the door to see Macie and Ben, as well as Kyrie, who is still in bed in a coma.
"Oh, hey Qrow." Ben waved at him.
"How's the boy doing, Ben?" Qrow walked over to a couch and sat down, as he looked over at him. Wondering if Kyrie is alright.
"Yeah. The doctors said he should wake up at any moment, today." Ben responded back to Qrow.
Qrow nodded and smiled at the good news as he looked over at Macie. "Oh and who are you?"
"Oh, that's Macie.. She is Kyrie's cousin." Benjamin said to Qrow, introducing Macie to Qrow.
Macie signals out, saying in sign language. "Nice to meet you..."
Kyrie slowly opens his eyes and he held his hand up a front of his eyes. "W-Where am I?!...What happened?" He asked himself.
"Speaking of...." Benjamin said with a smile.
Macie sat up and jumped onto him for a hug. Kyrie was caught by surprise of the hug by Macie. "H-Hey, Macie!"
She let's go of the hug and signals out to him. "You big idiot...What were you thinking to fight out there?!"
"I know, I know...I'm sorry if I worried you, Macie."
"'Bout time you woke up, kid..How are you feeling?" Qrow asked the boy to see if he was okay, and takes out his flask to drink.
Jake literally was listening to their conversation and he had the feel that he really confronts Kyrie about this, and not have someone else doing it for him... He suddenly opens the door and looks over at Kyrie. "Ky-Kyrie..."
Ryuuto looks over towards Kita. He nodded as he stood up and stepped aside to let Kita speak out.
As a cloud forms into two people walking off into the sunset. Reminiscing as Kita and Dean together. And who was watching from a far distance was Asuka Reigns.
Asuka did hear Kita's every word. She agreed with the part about how Roman was watching everyone, including her. She would have a smile on her face as she walks away.
"That's right, brother...You're watching over us all."
_________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile in Atlas, Shinsuke Takasugi had been finally discharged from the hospital. He is seen in a wheelchair and who is pushing him is Gintoki Sakata, alongside with Blake Belladonna and Sayaka Ishiyama.
"I'm guessing the wars went well..." Shinsuke asked, specifically to Gintoki and Sayaka.
Gintoki nodded. "Yeah. The villagers are rebuilding the village after the wars and everyone else...Saya, am I missing anything?"
"That's good that everyone in the village is doing okay now!" Blake said with a smile on her face.
"Wait...What happened to "her", huh?" Shinsuke was referring to Cinder, as he asked on what happened to her.
"She's gone and locked away by Atlas' officials, who did arrive after the war ended. She is under custody of the Atlas police, as of now." Sayaka explained.
"I see...My guess is, Weiss sent her officials..." Shinsuke guessed out the possibility.
Blake looks at Shinsuke and answers for him about that.
"Well...Shinsuke, you were asleep when Wraith came back and stopped by for a short second. She told me about how she and Weiss got into an argument about how they should bring Tony back to Atlas....From what she told me, Weiss sounded a bit pissed off that she ignored her order to take a team with her when Wraith didn't want that."
"Really, now?"
Gintoki and Sayaka founded that very interesting.
"Yeah. That's probably why Weiss forced her hand..." Blake responded back to Shinsuke.
"Could that also be the reason why, Weiss tried going after Tony as well...?" Gintoki asked.
Blake looks over at Gintoki, wondering on what happened there..."Wait, Weiss went after Tony? Literally?"
"Well, yeah...But, Wraith, Kita, and Mrs. Crowe stood up to her is what really happened..." Sayaka said, backing up Gin's claim.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Flashback Scene
As Tony was still laying his head on Vanilla's lap, after the war ended.
"Men! Go and arrest Cinder Fall! Some of you, come with me...We got someone to question and bring back to Atlas! Medical Team, check on the injured! Move, move, move!!!" Weiss shouted out to her men.
"RIGHT!"
Jake watched the officials arrest Cinder and put her in handcuffs. "Ms. Schnee...? What is she---"
"Oh, no...They are gonna actually try to get to Tony..." Wraith said to Jake as she ran towards Weiss to try and stop her.
"Atlas? Weiss?" Gintoki blinked and looked confused on what was going on.
"What is going on here?!" Zaveid asked.
Jaune shrugged at Zaveid, wondering on why they are here as well. "Not sure..."
Weiss and her men behind her walked up to Tony and Vanilla.
"Tony Shimura, is it?" She asked.
Tony slowly moves his head to the side. He smiled. "Yes..."
"Wait...Ms. Schnee?!" Vanilla was surprised to see her, but..."Why?", she wondered...
Before Weiss could make another step. Kita and Velvet stood in their way.
"What do you think you're doing, Schnee?...Are you going to try and take my son away when he just saved this world?!" Velvet asked as she had a very serious look on her face.
Weiss slowly took another step closer and her hand was on the handle of Myrtenaster. "Step aside, Crowe...He's gonna return to Atlas, right away for questioning...And If he did, then why did he attack my men, before this whole war started, huh?! Can you answer that for me?"
"SHUT UP! What the hell do you know about him that we don't?! I'd like to know, Ms. Schnee! Really, I wanna know!...No, don't answer that...You don't know what in the hell he went through to save Vale, to save everyone...He was like a puppet being controlled by a psychotic maniac, only to be finally woken up by his lover who stayed by his side and believed in him and then he had to end up fighting someone who he once called a brother, that someone who I love so dearly! He tries to keep his promises and he tries to protect! I was so sure, you would know what that's like to know how hard it is trying to protect and keep promises knowing you're apart of one of the greatest teams and one of the greatest huntresses ever to fight and live! It cost him to lose his friend because of all of that he's went through and he overcame that by having his friend's strength and the support from all of us here, right now and who just fought for this world that we all live in! Sure, he may hurt people but he didn't exactly mean to...He would never mean it, if it came down to it...But, people have flaws! He has flaws just like everyone else. What makes him any different from anyone else?! Tell me!"
Kita yelled out to Weiss in her furious rant and she had good points. Very good points.
Tony heard every word by Kita and he tears up as he kept his smile on his face...He was happy that Kita and his mother stood up for him. "Thank you, Mom...Thank you, Kita...Thank you everyone..." He thought in his mind.
Weiss was surprised about the rant...She knew Kita was right...But, she has a duty to fulfill..."I do get where you're coming from...But, he made a crime for attacking my men..."
"So, what?!" Wraith stood behind Weiss and says to her. "Sure, Tony may have hurt and killed those people...But, again...He didn't mean to do that on purpose, either. Besides, I seen Jake getting controlled by the same person who told Tony to do the things she wanted him to do. Just to have Tony stay out of the this war. Jake was controlled, Ms. Schnee. So was Tony...I wouldn't point fingers at someone who didn't do anything, intentionally...Because it was very unintentional of what happened. And it wasn't his fault....Not at all..."
Weiss sighed lightly and takes her hand off of Myrtenaster. She looked back at Wraith, then back at Velvet and Kita...
Then, Kaiku and Sagura ran over to stand a front of Vanilla and Tony.
Kaiku stepped up to Weiss and says with a serious look on her face. "If you want to get to him to leave this village to return for Atlas....Then..."
"...You have to get through us, first..." Sagura backed up for Kaiku's saying.
"....I see....Fine, he is let go. I see your reasons...Men! Roll out, we're headed back to Atlas!"
Weiss shouted out to her men, as she would walk away.
End Flashback
_________________________________________________________________________________
"I see...I may need to speak with Weiss about that..." Blake said to them.
Sayaka shook her head at Blake. "No need for that, Ms. Belladonna. It's okay..."
"Especially, they already got Cinder in their possession. There's no need for it." Gintoki said.
Blake nodded her head at them. "I understand."
_________________________________________________________________________________
In Vacuo, as seen Himiko Ren, Ray Rowe, and Emilia Rose are outside of Course Academy...The three appears to have their stuff together.
"So? What are you two going to do when we part ways?" Ray asked his two friends, now about to be former teammates.
Emilia looks at Ray and Himiko with a smile. "I'm planning to finish school, but...It may not be here. It may be at Beacon and then, after I finish school. It's obvious...Become a licensed and officially a huntress. Save people and always do what's right...What about you, Himi?"
"Well...Return home to see Mother and Father, then travel out to see how the world treats to me! I will even spread the word to continue in making this world stay a better place for everyone to live in." Himiko responded and then, Em and Ren looks over at Ray.
"What about yourself, Ray?" The two asked at the same time..
"I'm sure you got something big planned." Emilia assumed.
Ray smirked, as he turns his back to Emilia and Himiko. "Well...That's easy, I'm gonna look for that crazy bitch, Saiko Mayama....Make her pay for what she did to Jake...Wraith told me what she did to him..."
Emilia and Himiko was shocked about this.
"Revenge?! Are you sure, Ray?" Himiko asked.
Emilia couldn't believe it...Not at all...But, why?! "...Why?"
"....She deserves to die after what she did to our comrade and Tony as well....I warn you, don't change my mind...I know what I'm gonna do...I'm gonna do a favor for this world...By eliminating her, since she could be still out there and a threat..."
"How could that be, Ray?! She is powerless, especially now that Cinder had been put out, Roe and Ao back on our side, Zero taken out, and Katsuke left being injured..." Emilia points out to him.
"Yeah, Ray...It would be very pointless...Just let her be! So, don't do this...Please!" Himiko begged out to Ray.
Ray sighed and places his hands to the back of his head. "Oh, yeah...We'll see about that...She could be still out there waiting to leech herself onto someone else. She is nothing more than a piece of cancer that just needs to be cut off...Completely..." He said as he walks away from them.
Himiko and Emilia were left shocked and surprised by Ray's next move after parting ways...
Mutsuko was watching from the window of her office as she noticed the look of Ray's...She had a bad feeling about this...
"I think...Hatred has gotten to him...This...Is nowhere near gonna look any good for anyone. Especially for that boy..." She said to herself.
"Something wrong, Ms. Crowe?" Sami asked to Mutsuko.
Mutsuko looked back at Sami and shook her head at him.
"No, Sami. Everything's alright. Thank you for checking..."
"No problem, Ms. Crowe..." Sami bowed to her as he walked out of the room.
_________________________________________________________________________________
"Now, you must be wondering...What is everyone else up to, right? Well...Kintoki did indeed get scolded by Ms. Sakata-Xiao Long, despite this he is currently helping out with the village rebuild.
Roe did leave the village after the war and she returned home to Menagerie to help out with younger girls and train them into becoming huntresses. Also, she even brought Katsuke with her so he can do the same for younger boys who wants to become huntsmen or samurai as well. They did indeed tie the knot as well.
Kyrie did make a recovery, returned school for Beacon while Jake is helping him get to graduation.
...Nothing new came up about where or what Zaveid, Ao, and Seth are doing at the moment...
Zaveid shoots down a few grimm at an unknown forest area.
"Come at me, bastards!" He shouted out and laughed.
And...Who knew, Wraith would become leader of the forces at Atlas...
Kita and Vanilla are helping out with their father and my uncle at Shoka Shinjuku with new generation of huntsmen and huntresses.
Kaiku, Sagura, and Mom...They all went to help out all over as well. Spreading the positive message to stay strong, never waver, and keep moving forward. All of what we're doing in our generation...We are all doing good things. Prevent any sort of danger from this world.
No word on what Ray or Tyler are doing, right now, either....
But...I am going to find out for myself....I did apologize to Vanilla, but...It's just only one more thing left I have to do...And that's get Tyler and bring him back home, safely...I can't leave a brother behind or anyone for that matter. I know Vanilla may be hurting right now...But, I do apologize...Really...Again, I know...For sure, there is more work that needs to be done..."
A quick visual shows Tony waving without looking back, and was waving at Vanilla, his mother, his sisters, and his hometown.
"I promise...I will be back and I will bring Tyler back with me."
He had a tear in his eye as he was walking away from the village. As he was walking away, he made it to the bridge and looks over down at the rocky surface at Dean's grave.
Tony smiled and he looked up at the sky.
"This is not over here...We will overcome the odds. We will always will and believe me...We'll do it again! Forever Live The Shield, Never Say Goodbye!"
Tony pulls out his newly-named "Ambrose Breaker" and Siegfried as he ran out into the open and shoots a bullet as well as he slashes out a Wind Slash to end the episode.
A white fading in background appears and the text in the middle says "Season 3 is Coming...05.19, and on then the text fades away as it says "To Be Continued".

In this town, where not a single thing changes
The opening ends with someone placing a picture onto a table, and light was reflecting the picture as the person would move the picture away from it as it shows Tony, Vanilla, Kita, Kaiku, and Sagura together.
_________________________________________________________________________________
The episode will begin with Tony Shimura waking up as his eyes open slowly to see his mother and sisters, Velvet, Kaiku, Sagura, and his lover, Vanilla Frost.
He would wake up as he was inside of a medical tent.
"W-Where am I?...Ugh..."
Tony remembered of what happened then and there as he quickly sat up to look around, but starts to ache in pain. He held his abdomen.
"Gah!...Where the hell is Cinder?!"
Kaiku laughed out loud, as she smiled at Tony. "Cool it, Tone. It's okay. She is gone..."
"Huh?" Tony blinked his eyes at Kaiku, then looks at his mother, Sagura, and Vanilla.
"You and Vanilla stopped her, Tony." Sagura said.
Tony looked over at his mother. "Wait...Did we?"
Velvet nodded as she softly went over to hug her son. "I'm glad you made it alright...I was so worried about you!"
"So was I, but I'm happy you made it through!" Vanilla also hugged Tony as well. Tony starts to ache again.
Tony embraces her hug as he would look down at his hands and they were fully taped up to his arms. He grips at his hands. He thought about Tyler as well.
"Oh, and...Do you know where Tyler went?" Tony asked.
Velvet, Vanilla, Kaiku, and Sagura's faces turned upside down when Tony asked about Tyler...
They didn't know what to tell him...But, Kaiku stepped up to Tony...
"Well...Tyler did left here in tears, giving me this note just for you....He felt really guilty for not doing anything to help and avenge for Roman and Dean..." Kaiku said to her big brother and hands him the note Tyler wrote for him.
Tony grabbed the note and opens it up to read it as it says.
"Hey, Tony...When you get this and read it...I really hope that you are doing okay and your recovery is going great....I'm sorry if I wasn't able to be here for you, at this very moment as the two final Shield members alive. T...Forgive me for not being there and helping you in the fight against Cinder, I felt completely useless compared to how strong you've gotten. Please don't take this as jealousy at all, but I honestly wish I had that type of power in exchange for these weak arms and feet of mine. After everything that's happened to us four...I don't know what to do anymore...I really don't...But, that's okay. As of you're reading this, I've left Vale by now to go on my own to figure out on what I should do next and find ways to get stronger so I can finally stand by your side again and we can be The Shield again, except Roman and Dean are with us in spirit...Who knows what the future holds for me? Or even you, and hell, everyone else too...
...I hope I wasn't more of a burden for you. That's kinda why I want to get stronger even more, so I can finally stand side by side with you again and fight with you like the times when us four were together. It won't be the same, sure. But, it doesn't deny the fact that...Dean and Roman are still down here with us, just in spirit....Again, I am deeply sorry for leaving, T and good luck in recovery. Please don't change. Stay you, stay being a hero at Vale. You are Vale's newest hero and more importantly, you're my hero as well...My brother, my friend, my hero...Thank you again from the bottom of my heart...
Forever Live The Shield,
Tyler Black".
"You idiot....."
He shortly said, as he puts the note down when he laid the note down. Tony tears up as he covers his eyes with his arm and wipes his tears. Vanilla, Velvet, Kaiku, and Sagura gets into a hug together to comfort him.
_________________________________________________________________________________
As shortly seen, Tyler Black is seen standing knocking on a door...He is seen with his hair grown out and a tape bandage spotted around from his eye.
Apparently, Black is at Mistral, the home of where Roman's mother lives at now.
"I hope...she's here...."
He said to himself. As Black waits, he would turn around to look at the sky.
"Man...What a beautiful day it is out here...."
Atsuko, the mother of Roman and Asuka, had opened the door to think it was either Roman or Asuka! "Hey, kiddo! Welcome ba--" She looked up to see Tyler at the door.
"Wait...Is that you, Tyler?"
"Yes, ma'am. It's me." Tyler gave the mother a smile.
Atsuko hugs Tyler and squeezes him in the hug.
"Heeeeeyyy!!! It's good to see you, Tyler! I haven't seen you since you were very little! How you been, huh?"
"Hey! You're squeezing me, Mrs. Reigns!" He tried to say, catching his breath in the hug.
Atsuko let's go and giggles a bit. "Haha, sorry! It's just it's been years since I've last seen you! So...Why are you here, Tyler? Is there something wrong at all?"
"Well...That's kinda why I am here. Do you have time to talk, Mrs. Reigns?" Tyler asked as his smile turned into a short upset look on his face.
Atsuko blinked and wondered why the upset look he has on his face. She nodded. "Yes I do. You may come in and make yourself comfortable. Also, would you like some tea? I made some."
"Sure thing, Mrs. Reigns. Thank you." Tyler bowed as he walks into the home and he walks past several photos of Roman, even some that was Roman and Tyler as kids, as well as a picture of the three. This brought back memories for him.
As Tyler sat down on the couch, and Atsuko puts tea in their cups. She came over to the put the tea on the table and she sat down. As she faces Tyler.
"Thanks." Tyler grabs his mug and takes a sip as he puts the mug down. "Like always, your tea is good!"
"Haha, thank you, Tyler. That's really sweet of you!" Atsuko smiled, as she was happy that Tyler still loves her tea.
Tyler looked up at Roman's mother. "Hey...I need to know...Did you know about the ramblings with the wars and everything that's happened?"
"Hm? I actually was aware of everything that went on, yes. What about it?" Atsuko answered.
"Well...What if I mentioned about something inevitable that happened...And it involved Roman--"
"Wait...Sorry to stop you, Tyler. But, I already know about it. Asuka came here a week ago telling me about what really went down and the wars, so on....Don't worry, I'm not sad. Roman...Lived a dream with his best friend and two friends to become a huntsmen and team with people who he called brothers...As long as Roman was happy that he got to live and see it all happen. Y'know, even one time before Roman died. He told me...'Mom...If I die, don't cry and don't be sad. Please don't...It would hurt me to see you hurt more than anything else. My friends, my brothers are the same. Regardless, if one of us die today, that won't stop from The Shield or for that matter, anyone living forever and fornever...Because, either we're still living or we're spirits. The Shield will never die in the hearts of those we've touched. Forever Live The Shield, Fornever Live The Shield...'....That's what he exactly said and I am a proud mother, that I raised my boy to be the best he can be and alongside with his brothers. He lived his dream and he lived by his word. That's what matters...Died living his word and living the dream with his brothers, his friends, and Me as well." Atsuko said to Tyler as she notices Tyler in tears, hearing all of it.
Tyler was also indeed smiling and dries his tears, well trying to..."...Man, I am such a crybaby...Roman....He is the personification of what brotherhood means! He wasn't afraid to die, as long as he lived standing side by side with us...I wish honestly, I was strong like him and Tony..."
"I know, but...You are strong, Tyler...You were strong enough to go through what you went through. Seeing Roman die, having to learn Dean betrayed the team only to die as well, even though it wasn't his fault at all, and watching Tony fight one of the most dangerous people of all and losing your eye...I even heard that you fought your own and teamed with Tony's mother, your sensei, and your friends. That's strong enough. Roman would've honestly appreciated your actions for staying strong like he would've wanted...As his mother, I want to thank you for staying strong for Roman during those hard times..."
Atsuko stood up and bowed to Tyler as a way of saying thanks.
Tyler stopped tearing up as he wiped his tears away. He smiled. "No, thank you, Mrs. Reigns..." He sat up and hugged her.
"If you ever needed anything, Tyler. I don't mind helping. My son..." Atsuko said as she embraced his hug.
_________________________________________________________________________________
At the Vale Medical Facility, Kyrie Castillo was placed in a room and he had already been worked on after Jake stabbed him from behind, luckily missing his full backbone...
Kyrie had been out cold for a week after the war in Britannia ended.
Benjamin was in the room with his cousin, Macie. Macie was worried for Kyrie, very much. She looked over at Ben.
She makes hand signals to him, as a way to talk basically using sign language and she said. "Mr. Shimura, is he going to be okay? Will he wake up?"
Benjamin nodded and does the same back to her in response. "Yeah. I hope so."
"I see." Macie thought in her mind.
Someone knocks on the door, as Benjamin looks over and calls out. "Come in!"
Qrow opens the door to see Macie and Ben, as well as Kyrie, who is still in bed in a coma.
"Oh, hey Qrow." Ben waved at him.
"How's the boy doing, Ben?" Qrow walked over to a couch and sat down, as he looked over at him. Wondering if Kyrie is alright.
"Yeah. The doctors said he should wake up at any moment, today." Ben responded back to Qrow.
Qrow nodded and smiled at the good news as he looked over at Macie. "Oh and who are you?"
"Oh, that's Macie.. She is Kyrie's cousin." Benjamin said to Qrow, introducing Macie to Qrow.
Macie signals out, saying in sign language. "Nice to meet you..."
Kyrie slowly opens his eyes and he held his hand up a front of his eyes. "W-Where am I?!...What happened?" He asked himself.
"Speaking of...." Benjamin said with a smile.
Macie sat up and jumped onto him for a hug. Kyrie was caught by surprise of the hug by Macie. "H-Hey, Macie!"
She let's go of the hug and signals out to him. "You big idiot...What were you thinking to fight out there?!"
"I know, I know...I'm sorry if I worried you, Macie."
Kyrie apologized and looked over to see Benjamin and Qrow.
"'Bout time you woke up, kid..How are you feeling?" Qrow asked the boy to see if he was okay, and takes out his flask to drink.
The blonde-haired boy nods his head and smiled at them. "Yeah. Of course." Then, he quickly had a recalling flashback with what happened before he was sent to the hospital.
His eyes' widens and asks out to them. "Where's Jake? Is he alright? Did he make it through?"
"Yeah. He's okay. He's--"
Jake literally was listening to their conversation and he had the feel that he really confronts Kyrie about this, and not have someone else doing it for him... He suddenly opens the door and looks over at Kyrie. "Ky-Kyrie..."
"Jake, were you behind that door the whole time...Listening?" Kyrie asked and blinked as he noticed Jake coming into the room.
Benjamin paused at his explanation, but looks up at Jake and stood there quietly.
He thought in his mind. "I see. He wants to confront his friend over this. I'll let him..."
"Yeah. Kyrie...I-I'm sorry...For what I did....Burdening you, falling away into the darkness, and then nearly killing you...I'm sorry...I really am...I don't know how to--" Jake fell down to his knees and was in tears out of guilt.
Macie went over towards Jake and slap him in the face. But, Kyrie quickly got up to hold back Macie's hand. "Calm down, Mace...It's okay..."
Macie was about to signal to Kyrie but he shook his head at her, as he let go of her hand.
"Jake, buddy...My closest friend, it's alright. You didn't hurt me at all, I mean...I am still standing now....Saiko Mayama made you do that, I know--"
"But..."
"Don't worry, Jake. I forgive you, I know you would never do those type of horrible things. If you had, trust me. I would be retaliating back without being forgivable and merciful towards you. But, I am not that way, it's the opposite and I know you're not either, same for you." Kyrie smiled and lends Jake a hand.
Jake looked up at Kyrie, and takes his hand as he got back up. "Yeah."
"Oh, yeah...Ben, what happened to the girl?" Qrow asked.
Benjamin looked down at the ground and gritted his teeth. "I mean...After Wraith and Jake joined the field, she and I kinda got into it. And she escaped...Or, so I thought..."
_________________________________________________________________________________
In the middle of the forest, apparently in Vacuo...Saiko Mayama was sitting against a tree as she was shaking and had an angry look on her face....
"Th-This is not...NOT OVER!!!! DAMN YOU ALL!!! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOUUUU!!!!!"
The crazed and unstable girl screamed out repeatedly and punching the ground with her fists until someone held onto her hand.
It appeared to be a man's hand...
Saiko's eyes widens as she turned back to look at the man behind her and growled in anger. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
"...No need to be angry, now little one...It's going to be alright..."
The man said in a calm and soothing tone of voice...He smiled very innocently.
"Saiko Mayama...Is it?...My name is..."
He took a knee and got up-close look at her eyes, then he went over to her ear and whispers out to her about his name and as he did whisper out to who he was to her.
Saiko's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it at all...But, how?!
"N-No way....Are you really--??" She tried asking, but Saiko was just beginning to shake in fear over this. There was no way...
"Yeah, I am...Don't be afraid, Saiko...I am here now....And I am here for you. I will even hurt those who made you suffer...I will make them suffer as well...Just say who and where they are. I will hurt them for you." The man whispered in her ear, hopefully she agreed to this.
Saiko nodded her head slowly as she stopped shaking. She buries her head in his chest about to cry a bit. "Okay...Thank you!"
"Shhh...It's okay, let it all out. In the meantime, follow me back to my place and I'll let you cool off there and then you can tell me who do I have to go after to stop your pain....Alright?"
"Yes." Saiko shortly said as she stood up and the man would put his cloak around her, so her cover wouldn't be blown.
The man would pick her up and carry her out of the Vacuo area, heading straight back to his "place"....
Saiko's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it at all...But, how?!
"N-No way....Are you really--??" She tried asking, but Saiko was just beginning to shake in fear over this. There was no way...
"Yeah, I am...Don't be afraid, Saiko...I am here now....And I am here for you. I will even hurt those who made you suffer...I will make them suffer as well...Just say who and where they are. I will hurt them for you." The man whispered in her ear, hopefully she agreed to this.

The man would pick her up and carry her out of the Vacuo area, heading straight back to his "place"....
_________________________________________________________________________________
At the surface down below of the waterfall in Britannia Village, whereas a new bridge was completely built. Kita and Ryuuto is seen down there, sending flowers to Dean Ambrose's grave.
As Kita and Ryuuto pray, and they get finished.
Ryuuto looks over towards Kita. He nodded as he stood up and stepped aside to let Kita speak out.
"Thank you, dad..." Kita said with a smile on her face.
"Take your time, kiddo." Ryuuto responded back to Kita.
Kita took a deep breath in and out, as she spoke out.
"Hi, Dean. This is Kita, here...I hope you are enjoying things over in the new life with Roman and Uncle Shoyo....And I heard about your mother's passing as well. I'm sorry about that, Dean. I am happy that you are reunited with her and Roman again. Anyways, I got your message from Tony. Yes, you're damn r-right...You are sorry....It hurt, Dean...It hurts because you were suffering in despair and darkness. You said you were alone and didn't need anyone....
Kita was definitely in tears, as she continued to speak.
...But, I said...That's not true and I was right. No matter what, we were all worried for you and Tony to make it back safely from it all. You were needed, you were wanted...You are...mostly loved....by everyone....Sure, it may take everyone to forgive you finally, but...They still all love you....Like how your brothers loved you! Like how your mother did! And me!....Idiot, I love you more than anything else in this world...I really do...I missed you ever since that war...I still do...Dean, no matter what...I will always be with you, as you are with me...I know you're watching, like how you are looking after your brothers, along with Roman. Roman, I know he is watching after his sister, mother, and brothers. That's very admirable...I hope you finally got that message...I swear...You better save me a seat so we can catch up again and we can try this again. And for real this time...Nobody to interfere...Nobody to say otherwise...Just you and me...I'm telling you..It hurts so much that you're not here anymore...That's not gonna stop me from believing that...You are here...In here!"
Kita referred to the fact that Dean maybe gone in person, but in spirit, and in her thoughts and heart, as she held her chest with her hand and cried even more.
A light within the sun shines down on her.
"I love you, Dean...Don't forget that!"
Kita yelled out loud and she had a smile on her face, with another tear falling down her eye and looking up at the sky.
Asuka did hear Kita's every word. She agreed with the part about how Roman was watching everyone, including her. She would have a smile on her face as she walks away.
"That's right, brother...You're watching over us all."
_________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile in Atlas, Shinsuke Takasugi had been finally discharged from the hospital. He is seen in a wheelchair and who is pushing him is Gintoki Sakata, alongside with Blake Belladonna and Sayaka Ishiyama.
"I'm guessing the wars went well..." Shinsuke asked, specifically to Gintoki and Sayaka.
Gintoki nodded. "Yeah. The villagers are rebuilding the village after the wars and everyone else...Saya, am I missing anything?"
"That's good that everyone in the village is doing okay now!" Blake said with a smile on her face.
"Wait...What happened to "her", huh?" Shinsuke was referring to Cinder, as he asked on what happened to her.
"She's gone and locked away by Atlas' officials, who did arrive after the war ended. She is under custody of the Atlas police, as of now." Sayaka explained.
"I see...My guess is, Weiss sent her officials..." Shinsuke guessed out the possibility.
Blake looks at Shinsuke and answers for him about that.
"Well...Shinsuke, you were asleep when Wraith came back and stopped by for a short second. She told me about how she and Weiss got into an argument about how they should bring Tony back to Atlas....From what she told me, Weiss sounded a bit pissed off that she ignored her order to take a team with her when Wraith didn't want that."
"Really, now?"
Gintoki and Sayaka founded that very interesting.
"Yeah. That's probably why Weiss forced her hand..." Blake responded back to Shinsuke.
"Could that also be the reason why, Weiss tried going after Tony as well...?" Gintoki asked.
Blake looks over at Gintoki, wondering on what happened there..."Wait, Weiss went after Tony? Literally?"
"Well, yeah...But, Wraith, Kita, and Mrs. Crowe stood up to her is what really happened..." Sayaka said, backing up Gin's claim.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Flashback Scene
As Tony was still laying his head on Vanilla's lap, after the war ended.
"Men! Go and arrest Cinder Fall! Some of you, come with me...We got someone to question and bring back to Atlas! Medical Team, check on the injured! Move, move, move!!!" Weiss shouted out to her men.
"RIGHT!"
Jake watched the officials arrest Cinder and put her in handcuffs. "Ms. Schnee...? What is she---"
"Oh, no...They are gonna actually try to get to Tony..." Wraith said to Jake as she ran towards Weiss to try and stop her.
"Atlas? Weiss?" Gintoki blinked and looked confused on what was going on.
"What is going on here?!" Zaveid asked.
Jaune shrugged at Zaveid, wondering on why they are here as well. "Not sure..."
Weiss and her men behind her walked up to Tony and Vanilla.
"Tony Shimura, is it?" She asked.
Tony slowly moves his head to the side. He smiled. "Yes..."
"Wait...Ms. Schnee?!" Vanilla was surprised to see her, but..."Why?", she wondered...
Before Weiss could make another step. Kita and Velvet stood in their way.
"What do you think you're doing, Schnee?...Are you going to try and take my son away when he just saved this world?!" Velvet asked as she had a very serious look on her face.
Weiss slowly took another step closer and her hand was on the handle of Myrtenaster. "Step aside, Crowe...He's gonna return to Atlas, right away for questioning...And If he did, then why did he attack my men, before this whole war started, huh?! Can you answer that for me?"
"SHUT UP! What the hell do you know about him that we don't?! I'd like to know, Ms. Schnee! Really, I wanna know!...No, don't answer that...You don't know what in the hell he went through to save Vale, to save everyone...He was like a puppet being controlled by a psychotic maniac, only to be finally woken up by his lover who stayed by his side and believed in him and then he had to end up fighting someone who he once called a brother, that someone who I love so dearly! He tries to keep his promises and he tries to protect! I was so sure, you would know what that's like to know how hard it is trying to protect and keep promises knowing you're apart of one of the greatest teams and one of the greatest huntresses ever to fight and live! It cost him to lose his friend because of all of that he's went through and he overcame that by having his friend's strength and the support from all of us here, right now and who just fought for this world that we all live in! Sure, he may hurt people but he didn't exactly mean to...He would never mean it, if it came down to it...But, people have flaws! He has flaws just like everyone else. What makes him any different from anyone else?! Tell me!"
Kita yelled out to Weiss in her furious rant and she had good points. Very good points.
Tony heard every word by Kita and he tears up as he kept his smile on his face...He was happy that Kita and his mother stood up for him. "Thank you, Mom...Thank you, Kita...Thank you everyone..." He thought in his mind.
Weiss was surprised about the rant...She knew Kita was right...But, she has a duty to fulfill..."I do get where you're coming from...But, he made a crime for attacking my men..."
"So, what?!" Wraith stood behind Weiss and says to her. "Sure, Tony may have hurt and killed those people...But, again...He didn't mean to do that on purpose, either. Besides, I seen Jake getting controlled by the same person who told Tony to do the things she wanted him to do. Just to have Tony stay out of the this war. Jake was controlled, Ms. Schnee. So was Tony...I wouldn't point fingers at someone who didn't do anything, intentionally...Because it was very unintentional of what happened. And it wasn't his fault....Not at all..."
Weiss sighed lightly and takes her hand off of Myrtenaster. She looked back at Wraith, then back at Velvet and Kita...
Then, Kaiku and Sagura ran over to stand a front of Vanilla and Tony.
Kaiku stepped up to Weiss and says with a serious look on her face. "If you want to get to him to leave this village to return for Atlas....Then..."
"...You have to get through us, first..." Sagura backed up for Kaiku's saying.
"....I see....Fine, he is let go. I see your reasons...Men! Roll out, we're headed back to Atlas!"
Weiss shouted out to her men, as she would walk away.
End Flashback
_________________________________________________________________________________
"I see...I may need to speak with Weiss about that..." Blake said to them.
Sayaka shook her head at Blake. "No need for that, Ms. Belladonna. It's okay..."
"Especially, they already got Cinder in their possession. There's no need for it." Gintoki said.
Blake nodded her head at them. "I understand."
_________________________________________________________________________________
In Vacuo, as seen Himiko Ren, Ray Rowe, and Emilia Rose are outside of Course Academy...The three appears to have their stuff together.
"So? What are you two going to do when we part ways?" Ray asked his two friends, now about to be former teammates.
Emilia looks at Ray and Himiko with a smile. "I'm planning to finish school, but...It may not be here. It may be at Beacon and then, after I finish school. It's obvious...Become a licensed and officially a huntress. Save people and always do what's right...What about you, Himi?"
"Well...Return home to see Mother and Father, then travel out to see how the world treats to me! I will even spread the word to continue in making this world stay a better place for everyone to live in." Himiko responded and then, Em and Ren looks over at Ray.
"What about yourself, Ray?" The two asked at the same time..
"I'm sure you got something big planned." Emilia assumed.
Ray smirked, as he turns his back to Emilia and Himiko. "Well...That's easy, I'm gonna look for that crazy bitch, Saiko Mayama....Make her pay for what she did to Jake...Wraith told me what she did to him..."
Emilia and Himiko was shocked about this.
"Revenge?! Are you sure, Ray?" Himiko asked.
Emilia couldn't believe it...Not at all...But, why?! "...Why?"
"....She deserves to die after what she did to our comrade and Tony as well....I warn you, don't change my mind...I know what I'm gonna do...I'm gonna do a favor for this world...By eliminating her, since she could be still out there and a threat..."
"How could that be, Ray?! She is powerless, especially now that Cinder had been put out, Roe and Ao back on our side, Zero taken out, and Katsuke left being injured..." Emilia points out to him.
"Yeah, Ray...It would be very pointless...Just let her be! So, don't do this...Please!" Himiko begged out to Ray.
Ray sighed and places his hands to the back of his head. "Oh, yeah...We'll see about that...She could be still out there waiting to leech herself onto someone else. She is nothing more than a piece of cancer that just needs to be cut off...Completely..." He said as he walks away from them.
Himiko and Emilia were left shocked and surprised by Ray's next move after parting ways...
Mutsuko was watching from the window of her office as she noticed the look of Ray's...She had a bad feeling about this...
"I think...Hatred has gotten to him...This...Is nowhere near gonna look any good for anyone. Especially for that boy..." She said to herself.
"Something wrong, Ms. Crowe?" Sami asked to Mutsuko.
Mutsuko looked back at Sami and shook her head at him.
"No, Sami. Everything's alright. Thank you for checking..."
"No problem, Ms. Crowe..." Sami bowed to her as he walked out of the room.
_________________________________________________________________________________
"Now, you must be wondering...What is everyone else up to, right? Well...Kintoki did indeed get scolded by Ms. Sakata-Xiao Long, despite this he is currently helping out with the village rebuild.
Roe did leave the village after the war and she returned home to Menagerie to help out with younger girls and train them into becoming huntresses. Also, she even brought Katsuke with her so he can do the same for younger boys who wants to become huntsmen or samurai as well. They did indeed tie the knot as well.
Kyrie did make a recovery, returned school for Beacon while Jake is helping him get to graduation.
...Nothing new came up about where or what Zaveid, Ao, and Seth are doing at the moment...
Zaveid shoots down a few grimm at an unknown forest area.
"Come at me, bastards!" He shouted out and laughed.
And...Who knew, Wraith would become leader of the forces at Atlas...
Kita and Vanilla are helping out with their father and my uncle at Shoka Shinjuku with new generation of huntsmen and huntresses.
Kaiku, Sagura, and Mom...They all went to help out all over as well. Spreading the positive message to stay strong, never waver, and keep moving forward. All of what we're doing in our generation...We are all doing good things. Prevent any sort of danger from this world.
No word on what Ray or Tyler are doing, right now, either....
But...I am going to find out for myself....I did apologize to Vanilla, but...It's just only one more thing left I have to do...And that's get Tyler and bring him back home, safely...I can't leave a brother behind or anyone for that matter. I know Vanilla may be hurting right now...But, I do apologize...Really...Again, I know...For sure, there is more work that needs to be done..."
A quick visual shows Tony waving without looking back, and was waving at Vanilla, his mother, his sisters, and his hometown.
"I promise...I will be back and I will bring Tyler back with me."
He had a tear in his eye as he was walking away from the village. As he was walking away, he made it to the bridge and looks over down at the rocky surface at Dean's grave.
Tony smiled and he looked up at the sky.
"This is not over here...We will overcome the odds. We will always will and believe me...We'll do it again! Forever Live The Shield, Never Say Goodbye!"
Tony pulls out his newly-named "Ambrose Breaker" and Siegfried as he ran out into the open and shoots a bullet as well as he slashes out a Wind Slash to end the episode.
A white fading in background appears and the text in the middle says "Season 3 is Coming...05.19, and on then the text fades away as it says "To Be Continued".

Then, what's next to be seen is Vanilla Frost alone in her own conscious part of her mind.
Do everything you can, do everything possible by raising your head!

Telling yourself that any suffering is unimportant,

Fight with all your might, even when it's hard for you!

Ah, sometimes you are cruel, and sometimes helpless...
Next moment is shown Dean Ambrose walking into the light, reuniting with Roman Reigns. A quick visual sees a quick flashback of Dean apologizing to Tony about Kita and more in his final moments.
How much more will you suffer?
Visuals changes to seeing Tony Shimura with longer hair and a new look as well with a long dark cloak and what's seen is that he is spotted with both of his arms taped up all the way down to his hands. He is seen walking back into his hometown, Britannia Village coming from Vacuo and Vale.
Forward! At night, when you want to cry,
Then, what's next to be seen is Vanilla Frost alone in her own conscious part of her mind.
Do everything you can, do everything possible by raising your head!
Some light appears in her mind, as she looks towards at that light.
Telling yourself that any suffering is unimportant,
Vanilla is seen running towards that light in her mind.
Fight with all your might, even when it's hard for you!
She is seen running past her former horrible memories and going past through the good ones, into the light..
Deciding not to wake up, if it's a dream,
As she does make it out of her own conscious.
The light fades in, for a second then fades out to a scene showing Tony walking past his own hometown, and heads for the cliff, walking alone and he is seen with a flower in his hand.
Do everything possible, do everything possible by hitting yourself in the chest!
Jake Belladonna is next seen with Kintoki Sakata and Himiko Ren in the forest at Vacuo, before their mission.
Next scene would show Asuka Reigns, Ray Rowe, and Roe Ket standing a front of Roman's grave as Asuka lays down the gloves that was Roman's onto his grave as seen Roe and Ray praying.
Another moment sees Zaveid, Gintoki Sakata, and Shinsuke Takasugi, as seen as he finally seem to regain feel to his arms but is still relegated to the wheelchair. The three were drinking beer at a bar.
Finally, Emilia Rose is seen standing out, watching the students enjoy the snow from her office window. She is seen with a smile on her face only to see in the background, it's Ao and Seth Thurston dropping by to see her before their upcoming mission as well.
Being full of just such a mood,
Next scene shows Vanilla standing at the cliff, looking up at the sky as it was still snowing. Tony stands in the background behind Vanilla.
Fight with all your might, even when it's hard for you!
Tony walks up to Vanilla and stands next to her, as he looks at her with a smile and hands her a flower.
Vanilla's eyes lit up, as she smiled back and takes the flower. She walks up to him and hugs him.
It is blackness for the dream light.
The ending visuals would end seeing Tony and Vanilla about to kiss, and the scene fades out into a slow white background visual.
