Along the journey away from Brunswick Farms, Maria, after revealing to the group that she had Silver Eyes like Ruby does before telling them her tale; the one of the legendary Grimm Reaper. Afterwards, everyone, especially Qrow stared at her, surprised

Qrow: "I can't believe it... You... You're the Grimm Reaper, you were a legend! And then you disappeared..."

Oscar: "How exactly does a legend just disappear?"

Qrow: "You never used your name... you never showed your face... Lots of us thought you were just layin' low. Eventually, we just came to accept you were probably dead... But the stories about you... I based my weapon off yours... I wanted to be as good as the Grimm Reaper."

Azealia: "Heh... He's not lying about that. You should have seen him back at Beacon." She said with a small giggle. Maria however didn't seem very amused.

Maria: "Well, I'm nothing but a disappointment, so you're well on your way."

Olympia: *cringes* "Ouch..."

Blake: "How could you say that?"

Maria: "Child, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end. But after I lost my eyes, I only ever looked after myself. Even after my surgery, I was too afraid to fight. Afraid someone would find me again, finish what the others started. You shouldn't aspire to be like me, especially when some of you are clearly stronger already." She glanced towards the five Hybrids in the party before continuing. "It's... comforting, seeing that your generation seems up to the task of inheriting this world. I'm just sorry I didn't do more to leave it in better shape..."

Ruby: "Well... maybe you can do something now. Teach me to use my powers like the way you did. And from the sound of it, you and Laz have very similar weapons. Maybe you could teach him as well."

Both Lazarus and Maria looked at her, with the latter smiling a bit. Soon after, everyone's attention was brought to Ruby as her scroll began to ring. She took it out before looking in shock.

Ruby: "It's Jaune!" Yang immediately stopped her bike while Olympia and Seraphim stopped flying

Weiss: "How?"

Ruby: *answers* "Uh, hello?"

Jaune: *over scroll* "Ruby! Oh thank you! I've been checking my Scroll for your signal since we made it to the city!"

Ruby: "The city? Wait..."

Cassandra's eyes widen the moment Yang began driving towards the top of the hill with Olympia and Seraphim flying after her. Soon as they reached the very peek of the hill, the city was revealed to them, under a beautiful golden sky; Argus.

Yang *smiles* "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived in Argus."

Cassie looked at the city in awe with Lazarus smiling upon seeing it. He then placed at Cassandra, noticing small tears in her eyes, but she smiled and touched her chest.

Cassandra's thoughts: "I'm home, sis..."

"I'M HOME, SIS..."
CHAPTER 5: ARGUS...

As they entered Argus, Yang locked up Bumblebee in the trailer in a garage while everyone looked around. Releasing a sigh of slight relief, Lazarus looked around, taking in the scenery as his teammates and sister walked up to him.

Olympia: "WE MADE IT!" She said cheerfully as she pounced on Seraphim hugging her tightly causing the female vampire to yelp in surprise.

Cassie: "Now where is..."

Nora: "CUTE BOY OZ!!!"

Cassie: "...There they are.." They looked over to see Nora bouncing over to Oscar before tackling him to the ground.

Nora: "Oh come here!"

Then Jaune, Ren, Keqing, Ichigo and Belfast came over to us. The two males of Team JNR hugged Yang and Blake respectively with Cassie laughing happily and leaping into both her brother and maid's arms.

Ichigo: "Oho? You showing affection? What warmed you up, dear sister?"

Cassie: "Just shut up and enjoy it you dork."

She said as she hugged the two tighter. Belfast smiled and hugged her back while Ichigo chuckled, petting her head gently. Keqing smiled at the little family reunion.

Ren: "Are you all okay?"

Jaune: "We were so worried."

Yang: "It's been kind of a crazy trip."

Weiss: "That's an understatement." She said as she glanced at Lazarus who only smiled and looked back at her.

Nora: *notices Maria* "Wait, who's the old lady?"

Olympia: "That's..! Another long story." She said while letting go of Seraphim who sighed in slight relief.

Blake: "I'm so glad you're all safe."

Weiss: "Seriously..."

Nora: "Ah! You're going to love this place!" As everyone was talking, Ruby and Jaune walked up to each other before pulling each other into a warm embrace. When they pulled away, Jaune frowned.

Ruby: "Hey. I promised, didn't I?" his eyes began to shed a few tears before he smiled.

Jaune: "Yeah, you did. It's good to see you guys."

>>Time Skip brought to you by Chibi Oscar running away from Chibi Nora while Chibi Seraphim sweat drops<<

The entire gang, including Maria were on a tram though the gorgeous city of Argus. Cassandra was just in complete awe. Now with the information of her and Pyrrha being sisters, that meant that Argus was also Cassandra's home so she was completely excited to see her home town.

Yang: "It's a lot bigger than I thought it'd be."

Ren: "It's actually one of the largest non-capital cities in all of Remnant."

Ruby: "No way! But wait, wouldn't it be harder to settle something this big away from the main Kingdom?"

Jaune: "Well it was, until Mantle showed up. Early settlement attempts by Mistral didn't go well but colonists from Mantle were able to help them brave the cold climate and return the goods that Solitas couldn't provide."

Cassie: "Oh? Look at who did their homework." She gave the blonde a smirk, causing him to chuckle sheepishly and look off.

Keqing: "The two nations worked together to create a hybrid city. While it falls under Mistral domain, Atlas keeps a military presence here to help keep the people safe and keep the trade between the two nations steady."

Nora: "Well, until recently..." When they got off the Tram, they began walking through the city, with Qrow silently following from the back with Azealia in her son's head.

Azealia telepathically: "Argus... This place brings back memories..."

Lazarus telepathically: "Oh really now?"

Azealia telepathically: "Mhm! Was the place I grew up in with my parents before passing for Beacon. Back then, discrimination was much more vicious than it is now. My mom and dad always had a golden rule with me... 'You can never use any of your Hybrid abilities, show your wings, or show your tail and dorsal fins.' I was only allowed to show my horns, but because there was quite a bit more Faunus around, I didn't stand out too much."

Lazarus telepathically: "I see..."

Blake: "We should probably start looking for a ship."

Oscar: "So, where have you guys been staying?"

Jaune: "Uh..."

???: "There you are!" They all turned to see a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes just like Jaune. She was holding a baby boy within her arms.

Ichigo: *crosses arms and smirks* "There's your answer."

Yang and Seraphim: "Is that...?"

Belfast: "Yes it it."

Ruby and Olympia: "Oh! 😮"

Lazarus and Cassandra: "0_o"

Jaune: "Hey Saph..."

Ruby and Olympia Saisei immediately began looking back and forth between the Arcs before squealing in excitement.

Cassie: "Oh Hahaha... I know where this is going."

>>Later<<

Everyone was socializing in the living room within Saphron's house while Weiss, Yang and Olympia sat with her child, Adrian on the ground.

Ruby: "I can't believe I'm meeting your sister! I have so many questions!"

Nora: "Oh, I can give you the rundown later!"

Jaune: "Will you guys knock it off?"

Cassie: "Aww?? Can't handle the feeling of your older sibling possibly saying something embarrassing for you?" She asked smugly while poking the male Arc's side before...

Ichigo: "Well, you know, I have a lot of stories to tell about Cas-" He was immediately silenced by the violet-haired girl quickly covering his mouth with her hand.

Cassie: "Now dear brother, we agreed to NEVER talk about this stuff." She said, giving him a closed eyed smile as the older brother chuckled lightly.

Saphron: "Aww is that right? But I love telling stories about my baby brother!" She began pulling on his cheek, causing him to struggle while blushing before huffing.

Jaune: "I am NOT a baby! THAT *points to Adrian* is a baby!" Adrian just looked at him before crossing his arms and pouting, causing Yang and Olympia to start baby talking him, with their eyes becoming wide and cartoony.

Yang: "Aww, you're so cute! Yes you are! Oh look at your little face!"

Olympia: "Aww, coochie coochie! Aw baby! Oh my!" Yang immediately looked at Cassandra and grabbed her shoulders.

Yang: "We HAVE to have one!!!"

Cassandra: "EH!? O_O" she blushed heavily, nearly fainting just from the thought

Weiss watched while smiling, but when she looked towards Lazarus, who was sitting on the couch, next to her, she noticed him not smiling. Rather he looked conflicted, with him slowly clenching his fists, with a look of regret plastered over his face. It was clear that just being around Adrian made thoughts of their unborn baby pop up in his mind. He was still regretting the fact that he was too slow to save both Weiss and their child from Cinder's fatal attack. The ex-heiress got off of the ground before sitting next to her lover on the couch and hugged his side in a comforting manor.

Weiss: *whispers* "It's both of our fault... not yours alone... But after all of this is over, we'll try again.."

Lazarus: *sighs and whispers* "Right..."

Cassie: "Oh, you gotta see your brother at the school dance!" She said, taking her scroll out but Jaune quickly intervened and tried to grab her scroll.

Jaune: "DON'T YOU DARE!!!"

All of the ones that were present laughed while some of the ones that weren't, smiled with small chuckles. Ichigo and Belfast more specifically, seeing how happy Cassie was since neither had really seen her this happy before.

Blake: "So Saphron, you're the only Arc living here?"

Saphron: "Yep! Moved the second I could. Jaune and I are the only two living away from home. *mocking* I guess he just wanted to be like his big sis."

Jaune: "I... uh..."

Saphron: "Aww, you didn't deny it~" The two began to fight each other before the door opened, revealing a tanned woman wearing glasses, holding bags of groceries.

Saphron: "Everyone, this is my wife, Terra Cotta."

Cassandra telepathically: "Wow... What a name..."

Ruby and Olympia: "Hello!"

Nora: "Hey there!"

Blake and Cassie: "Nice to meet you."

Terra: "Why hello there! Wow, quite a party, you weren't kidding." Seeing her, Belfast stood up and approached her, bowing respectfully before her.

Belfast: "Allow me to take these for you, ma'am."

Terra: "Oh my. Why thank you." She handed the bags to Belfast, who proceeded to take them into the kitchen. Then she looked towards her wife. "Wow, you never told me one of our guest was a maid."

Ichigo: "Well she's no ordinary maid for starters." He said as Cassie smirked a bit. Soon, Jaune, Ren, Nora and Keqing joined the maid in the kitchen, helping her create sandwiches for the others.

Weiss: "And you're sure it's alright if we stay with you?"

Saphron: "Of course, we're happy to house Huntsmen and Huntresses."

Terra: "You all risk so much to keep people like us safe. It's the least we could do, especially for such an elite Huntsman like yourself *gestures to Qrow*. Although, I will say I was surprised to learn you had students helping you. Is that even... legal?"

Azealia appeared next to him while Qrow himself wasn't even paying attention but was nudged on the arm by his youngest niece.

Qrow: "Uh, oh course! Think of it as an extended training mission. Trust me, I was a professor. Even went to the same academy as them. Let me tell ye, these kids are way better than we were at their age. Well, obviously not better than me specifically, but a lot of students-"

Azealia shook her head in amusement before the others entered the room with the sandwiches, with Ruby immediately grabbing one and shoving it into her uncle's hands.

Ruby: "Shut up, THERE'S FOOD!"

The entire group began to eat the newly made lunches, with Belfast humming in satisfaction from seeing them enjoy the food. Lazarus, Seraphim and Azealia obviously, haven't been eating due to them being vampires. Weiss did allow him to take a bite of her arm, taking some of her blood while Azealia, due to be basically being a person with no true body despite it being physical, she didn't need to eat or take blood. Seraphim however, just isolated herself from the others, not attempting to take blood or eat. Lazarus noticed and glanced at her.

Lazarus: "It's been a while since I've seen you take any blood, Sera. Aren't you running low?"

Seraphim: *looks at him* "H-Huh? Oh.. N-No. I'm perfectly fine." She gave a fake smile which the male vampire was suspicious about. However, everyone's attention was drawn to Terra's scroll ringing. She looked at it before sighing.

Terra: "Excuse me, I'll be right back." She left the room to answer the call.

Keqing: "Is everything okay?"

Saphron: "Oh yeah, it will be... Terra's a technician for the town's relay tower. Unfortunately, the military's radar system is also housed there. *to Adrian* Guess what's been on the fritz lately and who's getting falsely blamed."

Terra: *peeks into living room* "Me!"

Saphron: "So, what's your plan for tomorrow?"

Ruby: "Well *swallows food* We're trying to make our way to Atlas."

Cassie: "We'll most likely start at the military base." Jaune, Ren, Nora, Ichigo, Keqing and Belfast however exchanged nervous glances.

Jaune: "So, we kind of already tried that and... it didn't go... super great..."

Cassandra telepathically: "Oh great..."

Yang: "Come on, it couldn't be that bad!"

>>Later<<

The next thing they knew Team RWBY, LCOC, Oscar, Qrow, Azealia, Seraphim and Maria found themselves standing right in front of the Military Base's gates, with them shutting immediately in their faces.

Cassie: "You just had to say something..."
