Summer was doing her part while Cinder was taking Vale, she burst into a large wooden structure in Mistral. Several elderly people turned to her in shock. Silver trails flowed out of Summer’s eyes “I’m sorry but this is a takeover. Mistral, Vale and Vacuo will soon belong to Salem and I.” A Beowulf tore a hole in thew wall, the rest of it’s pack surrounded it. Summer patted the beast “You now see the power that Salem and I bare, the Grimm are ours to command. So I suggest you surrender now.”

The elderly people bowed “Very well, you have made your point.”

Summer frowned “I was expecting you all too make a fuss about it.”

One of them chuckled “When you get to our age you know when your beat, opposing you would be a waste.”

Summer smiled “I’m glad that I’m the Spring Maiden.” She then frowned “I wonder how Cinder is doing in Vale.” Meanwhile in Vale’s Council Chambers people are screaming, Cinder smirked as she ignited one of the Council members while Grimm run around massacring anyone in sight.

Back in the Council building, Summer shook her head “I probably don’t want to know what she did doing.” Summer frowned as a summoned a Seer, she frowned as she spoke to Salem “Mistral is under our control.”

Salem frowned “So is Vale, Cinder had just destroyed the Council. I was hoping she would be more subtle, I trust the Council has surrendered.” Summer nodded, Salem smiled “Now it’s time to kick our plans into action.”

Salem turned to Ozpin who was bound next to her as she stood in the Beacon Tower, she smirked “Now is a birth of a new age Ozpin. The gods are dead, it’s time for a new age to begin now that their magic has been scattered across the world.”

All across the four Kingdoms, all screens turned on as Salem stood there “I am Salem and the world is about to change, the Kingdom’s of Vale, Vacuo and Mistral are now mine to command. They are now one nation under the rule of me and Summer Rose, I promise you a strict but fair rule. As for those of Vacuo who have seen this message, I am well aware that you have very little centralised government so long as a reasonable amount of resources come in I will leave you as you are.”

She then turned off the message and untied Ozpin, she shook her head “Ozpin, you have lost and any help you thought you had is gone. You are going to continue to reincarnate yourself throughout the ages, I can’t stop that from happening so killing serves no purpose. You have a duty to Beacon and I will make sure you do your job.”

Ozpin’s eyes narrowed “I will find a way to stop you one day, Salem.”

Salem frowned “I doubt you will Ozma, Summer will aid me in the new world. We are products of an old world but you refused to change, I was destructive and ruthless tearing the world asunder after our first conflict. I developed a sense of fairness over the years and treat others with what they deserve.”

Ozpin shouted “You brought down the fury of the gods upon humanity! You wanted to establish control over the world, it was not yours to rule!”

Salem frowned “I am a brutal entity Ozma but Summer brings out the best in me. At first I considered her as a successor for my own goals but she gave me more than that, she acts fast and with conviction. She doesn’t hesitate to get her own hands dirty, I wasn’t always a monster Ozpin and with her by my side I feel like I be something other than a monster again.”

As Salem left an exhausted Discord popped into the room “Ozpin, what has happened since I was gone?”

Ozpin stood up “Salem has taken over every Kingdom except Atlas. I will need your help after all.”

Discord growled “I have burnt up too much power to help and Equestria is in shambles, without the Bearers of Harmony and their Rainbow Power Equestria was attacked by the fearsome Grogar! I brought the full extent of my power to bear against him and it wasn't enough, in the end it required something even greater then I!”

Ozpin sighed “So I’m not getting any help?”

Discord frowned “No. Rainbow and Tempest are safe right?”

Ozpin nodded “Yes, Diane is too.”

Discord smiled “I knew she would be, she is tougher than me by many leagues.” He then frowned “I have to aid in the reconstruction, I will be back to retrieve the others once Pinkie is ready to return.” Ozpin frowned to himself as he returned to the Academy.

Meanwhile Salem and Summer arrived in the ruins of the Vale Council rooms. Summer deadpanned at Cinder “Fucking really Cinder, I mean come on. I was hoping you had at least an inch of subtlety but obviously you bloody don’t.”

Cinder shrugged “What do you want from me, I like to lay with fire. Besides I have no sympathy for others, you knew this about didn’t you Summer.”

Summer grabbed Cinder by the throa tand lifted her up “Cinder, you mistake me for your friend too often. I have let it slide but I am your superior and you need to recognise that.” Cinder spat at her, Summer moved her head out of the way. She then tossed Cinder to the ground “Cinder, you have never showed my due respect. Salem kept me out of the action as a sign of respect.”

Salem frowned “Cinder, you will show her the same respect as you do me from now on. She is my equal and you will remember that, also clean up the mess.” She then turned to Summer “We have a lot of work to do to prepare our new nation to stand up the might of Atlas, we can’t rely on the Grimm forever to protect us form what new things may come forth.” Summer nodded as they left the wreckage.

That's why Discord was not intervening.
