"NO!" Pyrrha screamed! She looked around and to her surprise was in some sort of wasteland. She was on her knees in the same position she was when Cinder 'killed' her. She quickly looked down at her chest to see that there was no arrow or even a wound! The same went for her ankle. She stood up and looked around some more. There was concrete everywhere. "What is this place?" Pyrrha said to herself as she walked forward. She noticed a stone staircase and cautiously walked up it. There were strange crystals emitting from the sides of this staircase and there was a smokey smell to the area. When Pyrrha reached the top of the stairs she was shocked! She was at the top of a cliff and before her was a wasteland. There were more even larger crystals everywhere, large chunks of ground protruding from the earth and red mist everywhere. Pyrrha was now very scared and was trembling.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" a voice said from behind Pyrrha.

Pyrrha jumped a this voice broke the silence. She turned around to see a tall, deathly white woman wearing mostly black. Her white hair was in a bun and there were strange, black veins on her face. "Who are you?!" Pyrrha screamed. "How did I get here!?"

"It's alright." The woman said calmly. "You're safe now." The woman slowly walked towards Pyrrha who was now between her and the cliff's edge.

"Answer me!" Pyrrha shouted with nowhere to go.

The woman stopped. "You are in my world, Pyrrha Nikos." she said with a straight face.

Pyrrha was now very confused. "How do you know my name?"

"I know everything here, Pyrr-"

"I told her your name." A familiar voice caught Pyrrha's attention. The figure who said this appeared from behind the strange woman. It was Ozpin! He was holding a mug which had a chip on the top of it. The woman rolled her eyes.

"Professor Ozpin!" Pyrrha said with relief in her voice. She ran over to him past the woman. "Where are we!? How did I get here!? What are you d-"

"I'll explain everything to you in a few moments, Miss Nikos." Ozpin said as he took a sip from his mug. "But first I'd I need to introduce you to a long acquaintance of mine." Ozpin brought Pyrrha and the woman in front of each other."Pyrrha meet Salem. Salem, this is the young woman I have told you about."

Salem had a confused look on her face. "THIS is the girl you deemed worthy of the Fall Maiden status?! You really have gone senile in your old age, Ozpin!"

Pyrrha was somewhat offended by what she was hearing. "Excuse me, Salem, but I'll have you know I am one of the highest ranking students in all of Remnant!" She exclaimed proudly.

"A title of little worth. I'm surprised you weren't axed off sooner…" Salem said with a smug look.

"How dare you-"

"Now, now ladies. Please. Let's at least keep things civil between the three of us. If we're going to be here for a while then we might as well try to get through it without killing each other." Ozpin said as he sat down on a rock.

"Like she'd be able to even hurt me…" Salem muttered.

Pyrrha ignored the snide comment. "What do you mean "We're going to be here for a while"!?" Pyrrha said through her teeth.

"Pyrrha… What was the last thing you remember before waking up here?" Ozpin asked.

"Well… I was fighting Cinder when she shot me through the leg. She then shot me through the chest with an arrow and then everything went white." Pyrrha said as she reflected on the fight.

"Weak." Salem said looking off into the distance.

"What is your problem!?" Pyrrha snapped at Salem.

"Ignore her. She's always been like this. A miserable old witch." Ozpin said smirking.

"You dare to call me names, Ozpin!?" Salem shouted as she stormed towards Ozpin.

"I was merely stating facts. And the fact is you are a miserable witch." Ozpin said with an even larger smirk.

Salem's face was turning redder than Pyrrha's hair. "I swear when this is over I will enjoy every second of watching you burn!"

Pyrrha was confused at what she was seeing. "Would you two like a few minutes or…"

"NO!" The both of them shouted.

"Then will someone PLEASE tell me what is going on!?" Pyrrha begged.

"When people die, their souls disintegrate into thin air. But when you were killed in the tower, Ozpin insisted that I transported your soul here." Salem said walking away from Ozpin. "Welcome to Limbo."

"Oh." Pyrrha was having trouble taking this all in. "Why me? Why did you not let me die like everyone else?"

"Because…" Ozpin stood up. "You are special, Pyrrha. You are a great warrior. You could have been the fall maiden and there is a possibility you still can be."

"How?" Pyrrha asked.

Ozpin paused. "All in good time, Miss Nikos. All in good time."

"Typical. Always so 'vague' and 'mysterious' about everything. Makes me sick!" Salem exclaimed.

"Oh hush! You're no better. Standing there looking like a Sci-Fi character." Ozpin said sounding annoyed.

Salem growled under her breath.

"So… Now what?"

"We wait for your friends to arrive. It has been a whole season since you 'died'. They are going on their own adventure." Ozpin said.

"And when they do they shall be crushed by my power!" Salem exclaimed.

Ozpin sighed. "We agreed that we would wait for them to get here for "a fair fight" in Salem's words."

"Even then, you will all share the same fate. And your world will crumble by my hands." Salem said with an evil smile.

Pyrrha was now very worried. "H-how long will it take for them to get here?" Pyrrha asked with a stutter in her voice.

"Honestly? I don't know. A few days, a few weeks, a few months… It could even be years before they find us!"

"Then how do you know they even WILL find us!?" Pyrrha said looking annoyed at Ozpin.

"They will." Ozpin said smugly. "They're smart students. They'll find the clues and hints."

"So now what, genius? We're just going to sit here in silence?" Salem asked teasingly.

"If there's one thing I've learned in my long life, it's that you should always come prepared for anything." Ozpin smirked as he pulled the handle on his mug like a lever. Suddenly the bottom of the mug extended and expanded until it was the shape of a large briefcase.

"Whoa." Pyrrha said under her breath in shock.

Ozpin placed the case on the rock he was sitting on and opened it. Inside there were dozens of board and card games. "See?"

Pyrrha and Salem both looked at each other and groaned.

"They can't get here soon enough…" Salem moaned as she pulled a Jenga box from the case.

And so the adventures of our 3 main heroes begin...
