The point where tips is, the point
where it breaks is a point where it bends, and a point.
Anymore.
Our enemies are.
Maybe I.
When in the end you fail to see
them.
Love in.
There'll be no.
Well, it comes as no surprise that they've
chosen you to move on to the final round of the tournament.
Your performance has been exemplary. Thank you.
Professor Osbourne, but I would never have made
it this far without my teammates.
Personally, I think it's the other way around.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've been introduced. Name's Crow.
Crow is a trusted colleague of mine.
Professor, if you don't mind me asking,
why have you called me here? Please take a seat.
What is your favorite fairy tale? I'm sorry.
Fairy tales. Stories from your childhood. Surely
you must remember some of them.
Well, there's the tale of the two brothers.
The shallow sea. The girl in the tower.
What about the story of the seasons?
Oh, of course. A callous old man
who refuses to leave his home is visited by four traveling sisters.
The first understands his reclusive nature and urges
him to use his time in solitude to reflect and meditate.
The second brings him fruits and flowers,
tending to his crops and revitalizing his garden.
The third warms the man's heart, convincing
him to step outside and embrace the world around him.
And the fourth and final sister begs
him to look at all that he has and be thankful.
And return for their kindness. The man
grants the maidens incredible powers so that they may
continue to help others all over the world.
They graciously accept and promise to share
their gifts with the people of remnant until the end of days.
Winter, spring, summer and fall. The four
maidens. My mother loves that story.
Would you believe me if I told
you that one's been around since I was
a boy? You're not that old, professor.
Well, would you believe me if I told you it was true?
I beg your pardon? What if I were
to tell you that there were four
maidens existing in this world that could
wield such tremendous power without dust?
You mean like a semblance? Like magic?
I yeah. First time here, and it's pretty crazy.
You're serious? Do I look like I'm joking? No.
Why? Why are you telling me this?
We are telling you. Pyrrha. Nikos. Because
we believe that you are next in line
to receive the fall Maiden's powers.
We.
Sorry we're late. Wait. What is this? Who are you?
You know who we are. We're still the same teachers and headmasters.
You met when you arrived at beacon.
Said we've got a little part time job.
We are the protectors of this world
.. And we need your help.
Where are we going? The vault under the school.
I'm sure you must have questions. Maybe or .
I still don't understand. You said I was
next in line to receive the maiden's power.
What do you mean by that?
The maiden's have existed for thousands of years.
But much like in nature, the seasons
change. No two summers are alike.
When a maiden dies, her power leaves
her body and seeks out a new host,
ensuring that the seasons are never lost
and that no individual can hold on to the power forever.
So how does the power choose? There
were a series of stupid and convoluted rules.
Crow. Hey, don't get mad because I'm right.
At first, the only thing that was
certain was that the powers were specifically passed on to young women.
But as time went on, it was discovered
that the selection process was much more intimate.
Intimate. As we understand it now, when a maiden dies,
the one who is in her final
thoughts is the first candidate to inherit her power.
Unless it's a dude or some old hag,
then the power goes to someone random
and our jobs get a lot harder. Why tell me all of this now?
Why not wait until I've graduated?
Honestly, we've run out of time. I don't know if you've noticed,
but things are getting a lot scarier out in the world.
Tensions are high. The Grimm are growing stronger, more prevalent.
And it's not going to be much longer.
Before this piece, we've all been enjoying
so much goes out the window.
You're not talking about w*r. Not a w*r between nations.
We can fill you in on the details
once we know you're with us. For now, all you need to know
is that one of the maidens was att*cked.
And for the first time in history,
part of her power was stolen.
Is that the current fall maiden, Amber.
She's still alive. For now. We're using
state of the art Atlas technology to keep her stable.
But there is a lot about this situation
that is unprecedented. What do you mean?
Well, we don't know what will happen if. When she passes.
Won't her power just transfer to the next host?
Look who's been listening. She is smart.
Under normal circumstances, yes, but this is a delicate situation.
It's not uncommon for the last thoughts
of the slain to be of their attacker.
And to make matters worse, no one's
ever seen the power split like this before.
For all we know, it will seek out its other half.
Her assailant. And that would not bode well for any of us.
If all of this is true. Why keep it secret?
If this girl is so important. If.
If we're truly on the brink of w*r, why not tell everyone?
From what we understand, it used to be common knowledge.
Excuse me. How do you think legends and fairy tales get started?
Even the craziest ones come from somewhere.
Our group was founded in order to
protect both mankind and the maidens.
Those hungry for power hunted them with
the hope of inheriting their strength.
And as you can imagine, the ones
that succeeded weren't exactly the kind of people
you'd want to have unimaginable power.
And so this brotherhood chose to remove
the maidens from the public eye,
allowing their existence to fade away into legend.
The things we're telling you go against
hundreds of years of human history, religion.
No one would want to believe us. It'd cause an uproar.
It would cause panic. And we all
know what that would bring. Clawing to our kingdom's walls.
Which is why we would like to. I'll do it.
If you believe this will help humanity.
Then I will become your fall maiden.
That's what you wanted, isn't it? It is.
But I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Given Ambers condition. You won't be able to inherit her power naturally.
However, General Ironwood believes he has a solution.
For the past few years, Atlas has been studying
aura from a more scientific standpoint.
How it works, what it's made of, how it can be used.
We've made significant strides and we believe
we've found a way to capture it.
Capture it, and cram it into something else. Or in your case.
That's classified. Wrong. The feeling is mutual.
But desperate times call for desperate measures.
And these are indeed desperate times. We
can't transfer adverse power to you,
but we can give you what those powers are bound to her aura.
Her life would become intertwined with yours. The question is.
What's that going to do to you?
You have an important decision before you, Miss Nikos.
There's no guarantee this transfer will work,
and there's no telling if you will be
the same person if it does.
I advise you to take time to think on this matter.
But understand. Before the vital festival is over.
We will need your answer.
The assailant
that att*cked the fall maiden has made their first move,
and there's no telling when their next.. Move will be.
Now, for the.. Moment, you've all been.. Waiting
for the one on one finals.
. Why don't you explain the rules?
It's quite simple, Peter. Instead of a bracket system,
each round of the finals will be randomly
determined immediately before the match takes place.
Much like any good hunt, there will be zero time to prepare.
Yes. Now let's see who our first match will be.
Yang, Zhao long and Mercury Black.
Would all other combatants please leave the stage?
You better not go easy on me. You wish.
Three. To.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Oh.
What a way to kick off the finals.
Yangzhou north winds.
You get it? Way to go, Yang. Better luck next time.
There's not going to.. Be a next time, Blondie.
My word. Cut the cameras.
Yeah. My leg. My leg. That's what you get, your little.
Huh? Yang Xiao long, stand down.
What? Why?
Mercury? Why did she do that? Why did she att*ck me?
