RWBY Through Worlds

121: Fall in Just One Day

The pure darkness that ensued for a moment was terrifying.

The Grimm snarled--but then they couldn't easily see either.

But then the air lit up with Shine's sword, which she was still holding onto.

The Grimm suddenly whimpered and then blinked at the light.

"You fool, you just trapped us in here with them!" Watts cried.

"No, Arthur," Shine said. "I trapped them in here with us. Wally? Time to go crazy!"

"You got it, babe," Wally said.

"Mind the ones with dust though," Shine added.

Wally became a human lightning bolt, at least to their eyes.

He zapped around the whole room and fried almost all of the Grimm.

Vara, watching this, suddenly felt her powers were back--it could have been that the water and the cake were countering Victoria's effects much faster in her.

"Well, can't let him have all the fun." She lifted into the air, and lightning crackled over her head and zapped the remaining Grimm.

Everyone else hurried to stand back.

"Careful," Tai cried. "Don't hit the ones with--"

A charge hit one with fire dust attached to it, and it exploded.

Tai and Raven ducked, and the fire went over his head, but Raven, with her low Aura, was still singed.

"Someone help, please!" Kip called, over the ruckus. "I'm not sure how long I can hold onto this ledge without bursting a gear."

Shine let go of her sword.

Both her and Watts sank to the ground.

Shine rubbed her arm. "I don't even know how I held on that long..."

Some of the Grimm turned to her.

"Don't even think about it," she said, eyes flashing.

They snarled.

Shine's sword appeared in her hand, and she cut a line through the Grimm--they turned into smoke.

"That packs a lot of destructive power..." Watts commented.

"Of course it does," Shine said. "Both Creation and Destructive are in the hands of God, aren't they? Though I admit it's easier for us humans to destroy than to create."

She warbled a different song, and her sword began to glow brighter.

"What a twisted web you weave
Inside a maze of mirrors
But you're afraid, you're false. I was deceived
You pull me in the fear
Better get behind me
Break the ties that bind me
Feel the fear rising
No more of that, I've been had enough. When my demons try to pull me under
Into the person I don't wanna remember, Destroying all the lies
See through your own disguise. I'm the destroyer, destroyer
I will not be your slave
It's over. It's over
I will not walk away 
This is no time for the faint at heart
It's time for war, war
I'm the destroyer."

"How does she have that much energy after before?" Raven wondered. "It's not fair."

"Can someone help me?" Winter called. She was still stuck over their heads.
