Description
I know this is probably not what RoosterTeeth is going for. This is just fanfiction, sort of an alternative outcome of the finale of volume 5. AU. Not a theory!!!
Part 2: www.deviantart.com/tigerpaw90/…
There will be more.
Enjoy. ~

How to get Emerald to work for Salem 101:
Emerald : "I dun wanna."
Salem: *clears throat* "Cinder! Cinder Cinder Cinder Cinder."
Emerald: "I'm listening."
So, this was the first installment for my new series.
DON'T WORRY! The next part of "A Broken Promise" is currently in the works and will be the next thing I'll post here.
Emerald is now the fall maiden and her villain potential is absolutely terrifying.
Her semblance will be greatly amplified by her new magic abilities, but the power won't protect Emerald's mind from her own illusions. The damage will be irreparable.
Salem pushed the "Cinder button" and there's no going back.
Hazel must feel sorry for Emerald. The big guy might be having second thoughts about bringing the girl in Salem's castle.
Mercury is not a happy boi either. He lost his boss and his colleague is tripping balls.
(If the room Em is staying in looks familiar, it's the same room where Cinder was recovering from her wounds after volume 3. )
This comic is a bit different from usual since I decided to go with subtitles instead of speech bubbles. I like how it looks, since I was really able to show all the details in the background without huge white blobs blocking the view.

You know, I think I remember theorizing that Emerald could possibly become the new fall maiden. Sadly Cinder survived.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Pretty much, yeah.
Following in Cinder's footsteps.

you know I once heard that love is blinding but no one ever say in what way or if that's a good or bad thing

And neither emerald becoming a maiden and Adam joining Salem happened. Don't know y people thought that was going to happen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is an AU where both of those things happened.(I've mentioned this several times.) And I'm still going to continue this comic.

As opportunistic as Salem is, I can totally see her having this exact conversation with Emerald in the show...can't see Adam working for Salem anymore though.

Well that’s to bad for emerald cause that cinder bitch got what she deserved.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I strongly disagree. IF this is how her story ends, it's sad to see a major antagonist go without a backstory.

Cinder survived whatever happened at the top of Beacon Tower. A fall won't kill her. That would be a dumb way for her to die.

I agree.
This is merely a "what if" story, not a prediction of future events.

The Relics cannot being the dead back to life.
But...
There are things much more powerful than them at play.
Cinder stayed with Salem as long as she was useful to me. And as she taught her so well...
Once she is no longer useful, she will be discarded.
And now that Cinder has surpassed her, that time has come.

What about the Relic of Creation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We don't know what any of the Relics can do at all. For all we know they could be a red herring that doesn't do anything at all. And if you ask me, they all have the same capabilities (the same way the Maidens have the same capabilities), with said capabilities not including the resurrection of dead people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but the Maidens and silver eyes were thought to be just stories. And given Ozpin's known powers, bringing back the dead would hardly be unusual. Also, do you really think Salem wouldn't know if the Relics had no actual powers?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't say the Relics has no powers, or even that it's likely they don't. I just said it's still possible until we see them do something.

Have you ever heard about the concept of "Grimm Pyrrha"?

I've seen some pictures of Grimm Pyrrha but that's about it.

All the chills. ~
Salem has made a terrifying ally.

Yeah, this is just a theory at the moment. Anyone else see the maiden power leave Cinder in volume five?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, she might still be alive.
This is a "What if"- story, not a theory.

" Anakin ... ... ... ... ... ... ... is that You ... ... ... ? ... ... ... ... ... do You wish to safe Padme, again ... ... ... ? "

Because Salem has always had the talent to use people's hopes, fears, dreams and pain to corrupt them from the inside out. She did it with Hazel and with Cinder; now she's doing it with Emerald.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Salem is an expert at corrupting people. x3

It's a nice concept 
Backgrounds can be annoying, great work with them <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I'm pretty excited about this comic.
Oof. Backgrounds are super annoying when you're drawing with a mouse. x'D

btw i used the castle background in this how that alright since i gave credit to you in this
👍: 0 ⏩: 0

Cinder deserves it...
I have seen a Micheal Bay movie villain better than her is not like Emerald can hear me or anything...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uhhh what?
I shall give Cinder and Emerald more love. :>
Cinder definitely deserves a backstory and/or a proper send-off.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought that would get Emerald’s attention and break the 4th wall or something...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Whoaaaa
That's a hella good fanfiction I must say!!
It would be a good motivation for Em to continue helping Salem and put all her strength into it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Can't wait to start drawing the next parts. :3
There will be insanity and feels!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe do a AU where the good and bad switch places like a good Cinder vs Evil Ruby or something like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's an interesting idea too. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got that idea from Star Trek and Transformsers....
