SHOCKING REVEAL Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Vale, Beacon Academy: Amphitheater
Some few hours later. The guest of honor, have come. Laharl, Sona, Ranma, Ajuka, and Serafall have come. It was finally time for them all to negotiate again. Once again a huge round table was prepared, in the center of the amphitheater. Laharl, he noticed many familiar figures. Obviously Ozpin, Oobleck, Port, Glynda, Ironwood, Winter, and Qrow. But the biggest surprise was seeing the Fall Maiden, the original one, Amber was also among those that are apart of this negotiation meeting. When Amber saw the devils, she immediately felt the magical powers in these devils. Their power quite easily surpass her's. Ozpin, spoke greeting the devils, especially Ajuka and Serafall that were leaders. Serafall being in her business mode, greeted respectfully back at Ozpin, and introduced her younger sister. Along with explaining that Ranma recently joined the strongest in their new generation of devils. Amber, then stood up from her seat, and bowed to them. Telling them she was grateful, and thanks for saving her. Laharl, he chuckled as he spoke, "Figure it out. Yeah, me and my friends found a fake Maiden, and kill her." this shocked the adults.
Ozpin, pleaded with them to explain. Sona, she place a comforting hand on Laharl, and smiled at him. A clear sign, to allow her to explain for them, Laharl, he smiled back and nodded to her back. Sona cleared her throat and started talking. She told those gathered, that they'd captured Cinder Fall during the incident that happen in Vale Square. Which Cinder was responsible for. After Laharl, beat her, they took her to Neohaven, and decided what to do with her. Under Serafall's guidance, making Levi-chan giggle, since she'd loved being praised. They made a special magical glyph that didn't only bound Cinder, but also her magic. Being experts in soul related, subjects and sensing another soul being consumed by Cinder's own soul. So they simply killed her, and with the power of glyph, returning the real Fall Maiden's soul to the original body. Hence Amber resurrection. Amber hearing this, she repeated her appreciation and thanks for saving her. Ironwood, then asked Serafall's group. He said to them, "If you can prevent the Maiden power from flowing away. And even heal the soul. Can you defeat a powerful witch?" Ozpin, Glynda, and Qrow looked at Ironwood in shock. Ironwood, he'd basically told the devils in a subtle way about Salem. Ozpin, he was hoping to tell the devils, after they'd finally secure some peaceful negotiations with them. But now, they might need to tell them about Salem, during this meeting, not after. That's when Laharl, Ranma, and the other devils started laughing hysterically. This is the best joke for them. Cause they immediately understood what Ironwood was trying to ask, and it seems it was time for the next big reveal...after they calmed down.
After a few minutes. Sona, with a giggle still pestering her. She pulled out a special scroll. Taping at scroll screen, a couple times. She placed the scroll on the middle of the table. And requested them to watch the live feed, from their surveillance systems, inside of a certain "witch's" cell. After saying this, Ozpin and Ironwood were shocked, and Glynda coated in a darker lavender aura, signaling that she was using her semblance of Telekinesis. Pulling the scroll towards, almost all the humans rush over to Glynda's side. All adjusting themselves around the vice-director of the Academy. As they started watching the feed, the image of a pale white woman, that greatly resembles a Grimm...
SALEM'S ETERNAL END Location Salem's Secret Prison
In the deepest part of the Remnant artic Ocean. A special underwater prison, built and design to forever keep it sole prisoner locked within. Inside a illuminated sphere, cover in multiple demonic glyphs, binding the prisoner's magic. As a second glass orb was floating in the center of this sphere. Within it, is the prisoner Salem. Bound in a white, magically augmented straight jacket, and wrapped in indestructible, magic chains. Submerged in freezing waters, while her head was being deprived of sound and sight by her bindings. As a pendulum blade, was wedged deep into the back of her neck. Severing her spine in a permanent way. Thus preventing her curse of immortality through regeneration from working. A state between death and life, never to escape. Trapped under magical restraining enchantments, freezing sub-zero waters, inhuman amount of pressure from the depth and water that flows into her bubble. And lastly putting her body in a state, that can't heal or move. The ultimate prison. Even if she'd escaped, the sphere was built and enchanted by two Satans, meaning she'd just has a slightly bigger cell. Cause of the depth, location, and other spells, this prison shall never wither or be discovered by non-devils. Let alone be accessed. One of the most terrible fates for a regenerator, can have happen. Perfect example Wolverine himself. His almost unbeatable and unkillable, so one of many enemies decided to drown him. By trapping him at the bottom of a river. His brain technically "died" without oxygen, so until he was fished out. Wolverine, was for intent and purpose dead. Laharl and the others use that iconic Marvel moment, plus other methods to deal with a immortal, combined them into one prison. Hence Salem's cell, and also the special magical surveillance inside the cell. Which everyone in the Beacon Amphitheater were currently watching. In shock and disbelief.
TALKING ABOUT A BROKEN WITCH Location Beacon Academy: Amphitheater
Ozpin, Ironwood, Qrow, Amber, Winter, and Glynda...their minds shutdown for a second. Laharl took out his own special scroll, and took some pictures at their faces. As Akeno, and the other girls will love to see their expressions. Laughing hysterically like they're doing right now. Ajuka and Sona, were the only ones not chuckling, and fighting back the erge to bust out in full laughter. And in Sona's case, it was because she was forcing herself into a calmer state, with devil magic. Since she also found the situation hilarious...her boyfriend, has really made a imprint on her personality. But there has to one someone capable, and serious of the group. Glancing to her side. She saw her elder sister, fighting and failing the erge of laughing out loud. Making Sona mentally sigh, but she couldn't blame the Leviathan, only because of her own will, she wasn't laughing as well. But one has to have some measure of decorum. Finally, the humans got themselves back into their senses. Ozpin, cleared his throat and then took a big gulp of his coffee, as he needed to calm himself a bit. Once he was at ease, he asked, lifting Sona's scroll and showing the devils the bound Salem, "Is this who I think it is?" Laharl answer was quick and straight to the point, "yep." This only shocked Ozpin more.
Laharl, he laughed and said, "Just cause you can beat the queen bitch. Doesn't mean someone else can't." Laharl, he got more comfortable. As he continued to talk. He said, "I should know. I'm the one that fought and beat her personally. (scratching his hair, and then pulling out some cold soda cans, from his scarf, taking one for himself and handing them to Ranma and the others) Beside, immortal are quite easy to deal with in all honesty." saying the last line, in a nonchalanted manner. Popping open his soda, and taking a sip. Leaving Ozpin utter shock. Sona she decided to spare the immortal wizard, more anguish and explain. She began telling Ozpin, that they know about his feud with Salem...claiming Salem told them, her sobstory to guther any bit of mercy from them. Which didn't work...at all. They simply dealt with the problem of a madden woman, with too much power. It was easy. Sona, she explained that they'd used her own curse, against her. She started stating that in actuality, there were hundreds of methods to deal with Salem. Saying this in a manner-of-fact like way, actually hurt Ozpin, while Qrow was...a bit peeved. He has been with Oz for many years, dedicating himself and several lifetimes, to try beat Salem.
While the devils just said that they'd easily dealt with Salem. And then stated that there were several ways to beat Salem that Oz, hasn't thought about!! This pissed Qrow off. Slamming his hands onto the table. Alerting everyone, as they turn to Qrow. All the humans were surprised by his action, but the devils looked...unimpressed. Since this is like Qrow to act like a loyal little crow to Ozpin, until the little reveal from Jinn of Knowledge said her crushing words, "You can't." Which crushed Ozpin's spirit, and ability to fully trust his allies. All cause Ozpin never understood, that Jinn didn't say "no one can" just "you can't" which he misunderstood. As Qrow started rambling on who could they beat Salem, and explain who could they have defeated Salem, if there were soo many ways to win. Laharl decided to answer, placing a affectionate hand on Sona. She understood her boyfriend, and sat back down. Letting Laharl to take over. Laharl he stood up, and was blunt, saying, "Hey mister wizard. (getting Ozma's attention as this was directed to him, and Laharl continued to speak) When you asked the third question, do you remember exactly the way you worded the question?" Ozpin was taken aback. As Qrow was about to argue, with Laharl in what he'd meant, but was stopped by Ozpin. He said to Laharl, "who do I defeat Salem?", making Laharl smile as he spoke, "Exactly!! How do you? But did it ever occurred to you, to ask "How to defeat Salem" instead?" this was a huge blow to Ozpin in everyday. Ozpin, he actually lost his footing, and fell back to his chair, muttering in almost a whisper, "idiot" and "fool" to himself, over and over. Laharl smirked as he turned to Qrow and the others to tell them about Salem. Starting she isn't invincible, sorta of unkillable with her regeneration. So he went on to state, many, many ways that they could have beaten Salem. Sure her magic made her a nuisance, but even she'd needs to breath and think, especially when her soul is soo corrupted that it can't produce aura. This revelation shocked Amber, Glynda, Ironwood, Qrow, and Ozpin. While the rest gathered were confused on who this Salem is, and why their superiors, are reacting as they are.
Laharl shrugged and said to the ones out of the loop, to ask their bosses later. He began to list off the ways to beat Salem. Starting with constant lobotomy, put her in somekind of device that would keep her trapt in her own mind, but she'll be completely indisposed to act against them. Semi-decapitate her, and then use many methods to keep her head detacted. As he'd went on, listing the list of taking out Salem. Glynda was shocked and gasped. Amber was a bit disturbed, along with Oobleck, Port, and Winter. While Qrow and Ironwood's mouths hanged. Lastly Ozpin actually slammed his head onto the table. Shocking everyone seeing this, never expecting the always calm and aloof man to something... Something Qrow would do. Laharl, and his fellow devils, Ajuka included were loving this show. As the genius Beelzebub, has a small smile on his face. Glynda and Qrow tried to stop Ozpin, from actually managing to hurt himself. He smashed his head onto the table again, as he started ranting to himself. That he'd wasted some many years, all he had to do was use the Relic of Knowledge again and ask "how to defeat Salem!?" So many souls and time wasted, on keeping losses to a minimum, instead of winning this shadow war. Ozpin, feels that he uttely useless. Laharl shuke his head at the sight in front of him, as he'd pulled a bottle of whiskey from his scarf storage. Looking at Ozpin, he said to the man, "You might want some of this." sliding the bottle across the table. Stopping right in front of Ozpin. Who lifted his head, seeing the liquor bottle in front of him. He thanked Laharl, removed the tap and started chugging. Even Qrow was surprised by this, as they tried to take the bottle away from Oz...and Qrow was tempted to take the devil liquor for himself, so Oz doesn't do something stupid. Serafall giggled, and said, "I think these negotiations are going smoothly. Don't you guys think so to?" all the humans looked at the pigtailed shortstack, as they saw she'd honestly believes that this is going good...
