*(Y/N) POV*

As night fell down and I got Qrow's wound bandaged we decided to set a camp. We are currently sitting on four logs around the fire as me and Qrow finished telling them that Maidens, Guardians and Magic is real. And that Grimm have their Queen, Salem. Upon finishing, silence occurs as Qrow takes a swing from his flask

Qrow: "Really? No questions?"

Jaune: "Of course we have questions. This is just... a lot to take in"

Qrow: "*sigh* Sure, of course"

Ruby: "So these...Maidens...They're powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic. And Guardians have a semblance coming from Maiden they suppose to protect"

Qrow: "Yeah"

Nora: "And there are four of them?"

(Y/N): "Always, same as Guardians"

Ren: "Which means that, whenever one of the Maidens dies, the power transfers to someone – a female – that they cared about?"

Qrow: "Whoever was in their thoughts last. Important distinction. Best option, it's someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way"

(Y/N): "In case of Guardians, it's mostly hereditary, something like Weiss' glyphs"

Jaune: "And that's what you were trying to do to Pyrrha. The night the tower fell. You were trying to turn her into Maiden"

Qrow: "The previous Fall Maiden, Amber, had been attacked. She was young, inexperienced. And her assailant, who we now know is Cinder, somehow managed to steal some of her power, but not all of it. We were afraid that if we didn't do something, the rest would go to her as well"

Jaune: "So you forced it on Pyrrha"

Qrow: "We didn't force anything. We explained the situation and gave her a choice, and she chose. You were there, you heard her" he then looked at me "Right, matchstick, you were there too" the rest looked at me

(Y/N): "*sigh* I had to be there with Pyrrha. It was my duty to be her protector if she decides to accept"

Jaune: "So you knew? You knew what was happening and didn't think to stop her?"

(Y/N): "It! Was! Her! Choice! How many times do I have to tell you this Arc?!" I snapped "Do you think I liked any of it?! No! I tried to give her support, all pros and cons! But she decided!"

Jaune: "Did you-"

(Y/N): "If you wanted to ask if I cared about her. Yes, I did. She sacrificed her life in order to save yours!"

Jaune: "It doesn't change the fact that you could have done something!"

(Y/N): "Ohhh, I'm sorry. I was with Ruby, trying to stop Torchwick!"

Jaune: "Yeah, really helped..."

(Y/N): "Excuse me?!" I stood up as Ruby tried to calm me down

Ruby: "Cookie, sit down" but I ignored her

Jaune: "You weren't there to help Ryze, help Sam, help Mako. It's your fault he lost his eye!" Ruby and Nora gasped. I get to his face

(Y/N): " If you have balls... say that to my face, again..."

Jaune: "It's your fault-" I cut him off with a punch to the jaw as he recoils slightly

Ruby: "(Y/N)!"

(Y/N): "You think I don't know *tsk* That's why I want to make things right. Unlike you, I can do something about it" He went to punch me but I stepped aside "Today, when I was down, you just stayed there and watched as Tyrian was attacking Ruby. You wanted to be a hero, but acted like a coward" I looked at him "Pyrrha taught you otherwise..." At the mention of Pyrrha he get up and pinned me to the ground, delivering a punch

Jaune: "Don't you dare to use her name after what you did!" I rolled us over and punched him

(Y/N):''I did?! More like you did! You were too much of a dense idiot! Every fucking time after we trained you I tried to cheer her up as she cried! Cried because you were breaking her heart with every attempt of going after Weiss! Let me tell you, Pyrrha deserved better!" We both started punching each other

Jaune: "You're the one to talk! How can we even trust you?! You're supposed to be the bodyguard for that woman who killed Pyrrha! How can we be sure you're not with her and that Faunus from before! Maybe you get together with Ruby to just give her to them later!"

(Y/N): "YOU MUST BE FUCKING NUTS THINKING I WOULD EVER DO THIS TO A WOMAN I LOVE MORE THAN MY LIFE!!!" I threw him into the tree and delivered two punches "I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT MY DUTY ANYMORE! YOU REALLY THINK I WANTED TO BE A GUARDIAN FOR THAT PSYCHO BITCH, HUH?! THAT I WANTED TO BE IN THIS MESS?! WELL GUESS FUCKING AGAIN!" I went to punch him again but...

Ruby: "STOP!" she stood up and shouted at the top of her lungs "Both of you! We lost people, and a lot of our friends were injured! We lost Penny! Pyrrha! Yang lost her arm! Mako lost his eye! All on the same night!" she got closer to us "So what?! (Y/N) is supposed to protect Cinder?! Only because some stupid prophecy tells him to?! I know he would never team with her, not saying anything about hurting me!" she turned to me "Cookie, Mako told you before. It's not your fault, I told you it's not your fault. We all tried to save our friends, but we could only do so much" she turned to Jaune "Jaune. Pyrrha made that choice herself. Ozpin, Qrow, (Y/N) and other people present there made it clear to her" I breathe in and out, calming myself

(Y/N): "Jaune, you may not believe me after what just happened, but I really tried to convince her not to go with Oz proposition. She was one of my closest friends... And I really tried to save her..."

Ruby: "Just because (Y/N) was there with her, doesn't mean he knew what she would choose" she then addressed us both "Past is a past. What happened, happened and we can't change who we lost. But we can choose who we protect '' Me and Jaune looked at each other "You two are friends... And friends are supposed to stick together... Please, don't fight you two, it won't help. Pyrrha wouldn't want to see you two at each other's throats"

Jaune: "(Y/N)..."

(Y/N): "Jaune... listen. I'm sorry... I really thought that Pyrrha would decline. I couldn't be with you and her then because I had to be sure Ruby was safe. I love her with my life, and I would never forgive myself if something happened to her..." Ruby blushed and Jaune nodded

Jaune: "I shouldn't have said that... I know that Ruby means everything to you... And I know that Pyrrha meant as much to you, as she was to me..."

(Y/N): "So..." I offered him a handshake "We both tried to save her, and we both failed. But we need to make sure her sacrifice won't go to waste" Jaune accepted the gesture

Jaune: "We will. Everyone on Remnant will know who Pyrrha Nikos was" we hugged each other and after a while it was getting kinda uncomfortable

(Y/N): "Jaune, not saying I don't like hugs. But I prefer them from my girlfriend... Also two guys hugging that long, it's kinda gay..."

Jaune: "Says the guy who is wearing blue leather jacket"

(Y/N): "Hey! It's cool, not like your Pumpkin Pete hoodie" we laughed "So, no hard feelings bro?"

Jaune: "Yeah, we are good" He started walking "I will go check our surrounding, be right back"

(Y/N): "Remember what I taught you, Vomit Boy!"

Jaune: "Hey!" and he walked out as I sit down next to Ruby, as she hugged me from the side

Ruby: "I love you too Cookie" we sit there in silence for a while "That guy. Tyrian. We now know why he was after (Y/N), but why was he after me?"

Qrow: "*sigh*Well, it's also another reason they are going after matchstick, beside him being a Guardian. You two definitely painted a target on your backs with what you did at Beacon. I told you having silver eyes is a rare trait. And the fact that you two are someones that were able to use them seems to have upset some very powerful people. Not many people know about the silver eyes. But those that do aren't very happy that one has surfaced. Not saying anything about two at the same time. That's why I've been keeping an eye on you. In order to make sure you were safe. All of you"

Ruby: "Well, then, why not just travel with us? It seems like that would've been way easier"

(Y/N): "Because of Qrow's semblance..."

Qrow: "I will tell them later, matchstick..." Meanwhile Jaune returned and sat down "Not many people are super religious these days. This world's been around for a long time, long enough that people have created dozens of gods and legends. The legends regarding Guardians, like matchstick here, are some of them, though there are plenty that are completely fiction, or even misunderstood. But if you believe Ozpin, two of them are actually real. They were two brothers. The older sibling, the god of light, found joy in creating forces of life. Meanwhile, the younger brother, the god of darkness, spent his time creating forces of destruction. As you can imagine, they both had pretty different ideas about how things should go. The older one would spend his days creating water, plants, wildlife. And at night, his brother would wake to see all the things that the elder had made and become disgusted. To counteract his brother's creations, the god of darkness brought drought, fire, famine, all he could do to rid Remnant of life. The older brother also apparently created the dragons as well, but then the younger brother used his power to give them incredible power that was often at times used for destruction. However, Life always found a way to come back. So one night, the younger brother went and made something unique – something that shared his innate desire to destroy anything and everything"

Ruby: "The creatures of Grimm"

Qrow: "You guessed it. The older brother finally had enough with the younger brother's antics. They fought for eons, and eventually the older brother overpowered the younger one. Knowing that their feud couldn't last like this forever, he proposed that they make one final creation...together, something that they both could be proud of, their masterpiece. The younger brother agreed. This last great creation would be given the power to both create and destroy. It would be given the gift of knowledge, so that it could learn about itself and the world around it. And most importantly, it would be given the power to choose, to have free will to take everything it had learned and decide which path to follow – the path of light or the path of darkness. And that is how Humanity came to be"

Ren: "But... what does that have to do with us?"

Qrow: "Well, that's the kicker. See, the four gifts to mankind – knowledge, creation, destruction, and choice – aren't just metaphorical. Each of them exists in a physical form, left behind by the gods before they abandoned Remnant, and each of them is extraordinarily powerful. If someone were to collect all four, they'd be able to change the world. That's exactly what the enemy wants. The Huntsman academies were created to train generations of Humanity's protectors, but they also serve another purpose – guarding the relics. When Ozpin's predecessor founded the schools, he built them around the relics to act as a fortress. Not only would they be easier to defend, but they would constantly be surrounded by trained warriors. The hope was that hiding them would keep mankind from using them against itself...and, of course, keeping them out of HER reach...So yeah, there's that

Ruby: "Her. You mean Salem?"

(Y/N): "She is the mastermind behind everything that happened in Beacon"

Qrow: "That's right. And not just in Beacon. Not much is known about her. Quite frankly, that's not what matters. What matters right now is that she wants the relics, and if she gets them, it's not going to end well"

Jaune: "Alright. So, let's say we believe all this. There really is this crazy evil being behind these attacks, not just some thugs trying to become powerful. Why doesn't the world know? Why isn't Atlas going after them? Or Mistral?"

Nora: "And why aren't we in more of a hurry to get to Haven? Shouldn't we be getting them a message? What if they're next?"

Qrow: "The headmaster over there saw what happened to Beacon. He's not dumb. He'll be on his guard. Besides, it takes time to mobilize forces like that. Do you really think they planned out that attack on Beacon overnight? And to answer your question" he pointed at Jaune "It's the same reason we keep quiet about the Maidens and Guardians. If the whole world knew about the relics, about Salem, there would be chaos"

(Y/N): "Which would lead to another Great War. But this time, people like us would have to fight in it" Qrow sighs

Qrow: "Matchstick is right. But ol' Ozpin would always put his foot down. 'We can't cause a panic.' Heh, can't tell you how many times I've heard that. Salem's smart. She works from the shadows, using others to get what she wants, so that when it comes time to place the blame, we can only point at each other" he looked at me and Jaune "She's trying to divide us – humanity, and so far she's doing a pretty damn good job *sigh*"

Ruby: "Alright. So what should we do?" We all looked at him

Qrow: "Heheh, I don't really know. Ozpin has put a lot of trust in the headmasters. Like I said, the schools are an important part of stopping Salem. Atlas is going to be on high alert after the last attack, and Vacuo is – well, Vacuo. It'll be hard to hire thieves and scoundrels to fight against other thieves and scoundrels. Take that, add in the fact that Cinder and her crew claim to be from Haven, and I think it's likely the next target. So, we're on our way to the headmaster. Haven't heard from him in a while, even before the attack. I'm hoping he has the answers" Qrow stood up "Alright, I think it's time you kids get some sleep"

Ruby: "Uncle Qrow?"

Qrow: "Yeah?"

Ruby: "This is a lot to take in, and it all sounds crazy, but... I'm willing to do whatever I can to help because I trust you. But why couldn't you trust me? Why couldn't you just travel with us, instead of this secrecy, and, and-" I put a hand on her shoulder

(Y/N): "Petals. Qrow was protecting us. Not from what Ozpin told me and him... but from himself. Right, Big Bird?"

Qrow: "Yeah... Did you know that crows are a sign of bad luck? Old superstition, but it's how I got my name. See, some people can absorb electricity, or control fire, and some people can burst into rose petals, and some people are just born unlucky. My semblance isn't like most – it's not exactly something I do. It's always there, whether I like it or not. I bring Misfortune" he chuckled slightly "I guess you could call me a bad luck charm. Comes in real handy when I'm fighting an enemy, but it makes it a little hard on friends...and family" He looked at Ruby before standing up, and holding his side"

(Y/N): "He can't control it. We had an example today, when that wood piece nearly crushed Ruby. That's why you ordered us to stay away. In case we get in range of your semblance" he nodded with a hum

Qrow: "Look who got his mother smartass behavior... But that's right" he turned to walk away slowly

Ren: "Where are you going?"

Qrow: "Taking a walk"

Ruby: "There's nothing else you want to tell us?" We heard a raven caws as I and Qrow look at it

Qrow: "Not tonight" As to spite him, a piece of wood falls out of the fireplace

(Y/N): "*sigh* I got it" I picked it and throw it back to the fire

Ruby: "Cookie..." she looked at me "Maybe you want to tell us anything?"

(Y/N): "Petals..." I looked behind to see that raven is gone

'Good thing. She won't hear us'

(Y/N): "*sigh* You already know the story about Guardians. I'm connected to the Fall Maiden by some magical stuff I don't fully understand. When Cinder killed Amber, I felt it. But... when that bitch got hurt I didn't feel anything"

Ren: "So, what does it mean?"

(Y/N): "Since Cinder didn't get Maiden's powers naturally, she have no connection to me"

Jaune: "How can you be so sure?"

(Y/N): "I'm not... I told you, it's complicated"

Nora: "So, your semblance is like magic?"

(Y/N): "It comes from Fall Maiden, but I still use my body heat and Aura to generate fire. I mean, using magic would be cool, but it could also mean Salem and her goons would have an easier task to hunt us" We keep quiet, looking into the fire "Look, guys. I'm sorry I keep this all secret, but you heard Qrow" I stood up "Well, time for sleep"

We all went to grab our sleeping bags and set them up near the fireplace. The rest of our group went to sleep, except me, Ruby and Qrow who has still to return.

Ruby: "(Y/N)" I looked up to her as she patted the place next to her sleeping bag. "Come here" I did. "Why is your sleeping bag there?" she pointed to my sleeping bag "And not here?" she pointed to the place next to her

(Y/N): "Well... I thought I will take a watch for tonight. And that place had a good overview-"

Ruby: "Bahbahbah! You need to sleep too. I told you something, didn't I?"

(Y/N): "*sigh* You just want to cuddle, don't you, Petals?" she blushed

Ruby: "Well... yeah. Is that a problem? We are together for over a year"

(Y/N): "Ruby-"

Ruby: "Don't 'Ruby' me. Get your sleeping bag here and let's sleep" I stood up and get my sleeping bag next to Ruby's. As we lied down she instantly warped her arm around me as I did the same

(Y/N): "*sigh* Ryze was right. I'm really rubbing off on you"

Ruby: "I'm not seeing anything bad in that"

(Y/N): "Just don't start cursing. I don't want to hear your cute voice saying swears"

Ruby: "I would never! Oh, by the way" she punched my chest "That's for the every curse you said"

(Y/N): "Oww... Okay. I will try not to curse anymore" We lied there in silence for a while "You know, I had a dream one night"

Ruby: "Hmm?"

(Y/N): "That we were in some cartoon. We were all stubby, with big heads and eyes. And you had something you called 'Swear Jar'. Main contributors to it were me, Ryze, Qrow and, I kid you not, Zwei" she laughed

Ruby: "Zwei?! How could he even swear?!"

(Y/N): "Dunno. But for sure I saw him with Lien in his mouth putting it inside of said jar"

Ruby: "You know... It's not that bad of an idea. And I could use that money to buy things!"

(Y/N): "No. Petals you're not starting a swear jar in real life. If you want something, ask me. Remember, rich guy from Atlas"

Ruby: "I was joking, but... you always buy me stuff and other things. I also wanted to give you something"

(Y/N): "Ruby, I don't need presents from you. Not saying I won't like them. I would love anything you got me"

Ruby: "Really? How about this rock?" she pointed to a small pebble lying nearby

(Y/N): "Sure. Is that your present for me?"

Ruby: "No! I used it as an example *yawn* Okay, I have enough of talking. Goodnight Cookie, love ya"

(Y/N): "Love ya too Petals" we closed our eyes and drifted to sleep

*Next day*

Well, I wake up first. I tried to sit up, but Ruby's iron grip on me make it impossible

Ruby: "Cookie..." I looked at her, but she was still sleeping. I chuckled at knowing now she sleep talks

(Y/N): "I'm here Petals, what's up?" a smile appeared on her face.

Ruby: "Cookie... I love you the most..."

(Y/N): "I love you too" Ruby turned on her back, still holding my arm. I decided to give up and lied back down next to her. I looked up on the morning sky, as some birds flew above us. That's until I hear Ruby again

Ruby: "(Y/N)... please be gentle..." And with that my face turned more red than her cape or even Pyrrha's hair

(Y/N): "Whaat?!"

'Okay, when I see Blake again, I need to talk with her about this'

With a massive blush I shoot up from my sleeping bag. I grabbed a bottle of water and splashed my face to somehow get it to its natural color. Later I went for a short walk to calm myself even more. Soon I was back in our camp, just as Ren wakes up with a sigh

Ren: "We should probably get moving"

Jaune: "Yeah, yeah"

(Y/N): "Took you guys long enou-" Qrow started coughing as we all turned to him. I get near him and so did Ruby "Qrow, what's wrong?" Qrow was still holding his wound with his right hand, and coughs in his left. When he pulls it away from his mouth we can see it's covered in purple stains, just like his bandage

Ruby: *gasp*

(Y/N): "Poison..."

Qrow: "Well. That's unfortunate" and later he passed out

*Ryze POV, Patch*

I watch as Tai and Yang spare. I'm not a 'hand to hand' type of person so I sit down next to Zwei as us both observe the fight, while I was giving him some head pats. Just then Yang punched Tai, sending him back

Tai: "Whoa... that thing packs a punch"

Yang: "We've been at this for weeks. I get it, you wanna make sure we can still fight." she smashed her fist together "I think I'm doing just fine"

Tai: "You're close"

Yang: "Oh, really?"

Tai: "You're still off balance"

Yang: "What?! No I'm not!"

Ryze: "Are you sure babe?"

Yang: "Honestly, I'm kind of surprised. I thought it would be just this huge weight, but it feels...natural. (Y/N)'s mom did a great job with this thing" Suddenly Tai rushed Yang and punched her straight in the face

Ryze: "Here they go again, right Zwei?"

Zwei: "*bark*"

I turned back to the fight and saw Tai holding Yang's right arm while she blocks an elbow from him

Ryze: "He wasn't talking about your actual balance, Yang" Tai then swiped Yang's legs as she lands on the ground

Tai: "Although, that could use some work too" he walked to me and Zwei as I handed him a towel. He later pets Zwei a little. Yang was lying with her arms wide as she take breaths in and out

Yang: "Meaning?"

Tai: "I saw your tournament fights. During the Vytal Festival"

Yang: "Let me guess. 'I was sloppy'" I snickered and Tai smiled

Tai: "No, no, you were predictable. And... stubborn. And maybe a little boneheaded like Ryze is"

Ryze: "Hey!" Yang sits cross-legged on the ground

Tai: "Do you realize that you used your semblance to win every fight after the qualifiers?"

Yang: "So what? How is me, using my semblance any different than someone using theirs?"

Tai: "Because not everyone else's is basically a temper tantrum" I chuckled and me, Tai and Zwei made our way to Yang. When we were near Tai laughed "I'm serious! Once you take damage, you can dish it back twice as hard, but that doesn't make you invincible! It's great when you're in a bind, but what happens if you miss? What happens if they're stronger? Now you're just weak and tired!" Yang looked down "You've always been one to burn brighter than everyone else, whether it was with your smile, or, well, I remember your first haircut"

Ryze: "Oh, that's a story I'd like to hear"

Yang: "Shut up. I will make sure dad won't tell you"

Tai: "I already did" he tugged Yang's hair as she shoved his hand aside "Getting back. You gotta keep your emotions in check. Keep a level head, and think before you act. Your semblance is a great fallback, but you can't let yourself rely on it. It won't always save you. Obviously. You definitely have your mom's stubbornness"

Yang: "Oh, so now we can talk about her?"

Tai: "Well, as I have been informed, you're an adult now, remember?"

Yang: "Well, sorry I remind you of her"

Tai: "Don't be... Raven was great in so many ways – her strength, her ambition, her dedication to whatever cause she thought was worth fighting for. I'm proud of how much of her I see in you. But, I'm glad I don't see all of her in you"

Yang: "Why?"

Tai: "*sigh* Your mother was...a complicated woman. Like everybody, she had her faults, but those faults are what tore our team apart. And, it did a real number on our family. You both act like the easiest way to tackle an obstacle is through it. That strength is all that matters in a fight. But if you just take a second look, then maybe you see...There's a way around as well" I stood up, walked to Yang and offered her a hand

Ryze: "Come on babe. One more before dinner. I will spar with you this time" I smiled at her

Yang: "You're not a 'hand to hand' type of person, honey. You sure?"

Ryze: "Heh. Time to change that"

After getting her up we got into a stance and started to circle around. Yang tried a right hook, and I easily leaned my head back to avoid it. Later I lean left as she throws a left cross. She tried a combo with three punches, but I easily evaded all of them. She tried a roundhouse kick but I lean back to dodge it, coming back with a head-butt, knocking her to the ground

Yang: "Where the hell did you learn hand to hand combat?!" I pointed to Tai

Ryze: "You thought that I was gonna slack around when you lie in your bed? I knew I was lacking in hand to hand, so I asked Tai to teach me"

Tai: "He is a fast learner, I must admit"

Ryze: "But maybe I was right that you gave up. Not like Ruby"

'I need to try to piss her off. Only that I can be sure she will get back. And Ruby would be a touchy subject for her... I will regret it later... but it's for her own good'

Yang grunts and goes after me again, this time throwing a jump kick at me, but I sidestep out of the way. She later tried a spin kick but I duck and later lean to avoid a left hook

Ryze: "At least she learned something at Beacon. Learned about what's important"

Yang threw a right hook followed by another spin kick but I dodge them both

Ryze: "I never gave up on you. She never gave up on you. You gave up on her, on me, on everything and on yourself! I avoided two punches "It seems like Ruby really wanted to be a Huntress, not like you. You were just riding her cloak tails"

Yang growls, went to attack me again but stopped, dropping her hands and lowering her head

Yang: "You're right Babe..." I rise my eyebrow

Tai: "Yang..."

Yang: "I did give up. I was just so focused on myself that I didn't care about anything else. You, Ruby, even (Y/N) were just trying to help because you were worried about me, about everyone, but I didn't care. I pushed you all away. I hurt you, I hurt (Y/N), but most importantly I HURT her. I never once thought about what she went through at the Fall of Beacon" some tears started to gather in her eyes "She watched as two of her closest friends died right in front of her, and then learned that Team RWBY was disbanded. And I only made it worse. Yes, bad things do happen sometimes, but I forgot about something important. Something she remembered. It's about how you react to those bad things, what you do after they happen. Ruby left with (Y/N) because they wanted to fix this, because she still believed in helping people and being a Huntress. I just...gave up. I was the worst sister imaginable, and I'm...sorry. I'm so sorry, Ruby" she started crying, as she collapses on the ground "And I was the worst girlfriend too... I'm sorry Ryze... I'm sorry..." I got next to her, as I offered her a hand and a smile. She accept it and soon I bring her into a hug

Ryze: "Sunny Dragon, it's alright. I forgive you. Ruby will forgive you too" she looked at me as I get my hand and wipe her tears "I wanted to teach you something, ability to admit your mistakes and weaknesses, and later learning to overcome them. I'm so proud of you" She later gave me a smile "See, much-" she punched me as I skid back a little. I smiled at her "Better. You could've at least let me finish, but you got a good 'Taiming" Us three looked at each other, and later laughed

Tai: "You'd make a great son-in-law too, Ryze. I'm glad you are here for Yang" Yang got irritated

Yang: "DAD! YOU'RE THE WORST!"

Ryze: "What? If I were to propose to you, you wouldn't accept it?"

Yang: "Of course I would accept it! Just, now it's not the time"

Ryze: "Agreed" Tai laughed

Tai: "Oh, young love. Come on kids, dinner should be ready"

'Bro, (Y/N), Mako. I got our Yangster back on tracks. We will be on our way to Anima really soon.'

*In Atlas, Sam POV*

Sam: "One more time Snowflake" I said from the corner of Weiss room.

She holds her rapier ready. She steps back, twirls, a stream of blue-white light coming from the tip of her sword, and when she ends the twirl, she holds it aloft before striking the tip at the floor.

Sam: "Concentrate. Like I do with my vine golems. Feel your summoning take life. Imagine it, not as a thing but as another living being, as extension of your will" As I said that a glyph appears beneath Weiss, with a giant sword coming out of it. Weiss closed her eyes to concentrate, as I move behind the door to not disturb her, before they opens and I hear this little shitstain, Whitley

Whitley: "Hello, sister" Weiss gets annoyed as both the sword and glyph disappears

Weiss: "Leave"

Whitley: "How hurtful. And here I am, about to offer you a favor. Father's taking me to town to introduce me to some of his business partners. I'd thought I'd see if you wanted me to pick up anything, since you're...well, stuck here" Weiss stands up

Weiss: "Are you jealous? Is that it?"

Whitley: "Whatever do you mean?"

Weiss: "Is that why you hate me? Are you jealous of my abilities? Of Winter's?"

Whitley: "Hmm...no, not really. Honestly, I find it barbaric. It's beneath people like me. Like Father. What can a single Huntsman possibly do that an army cannot? That's why we have one, even if it is run by a fool"

Weiss: "I said, leave"

Whitley: "Fine, fine. I've got better things to do. Enjoy your...training, however pointless it is. What is your plan, anyway? What do you hope to accomplish while trapped in your own bedroom?"

I had enough and kicked the door, slamming it in his face. Weiss lovers her rapier and sighs. I listen for a moment to make sure that little brat is gone before speaking to Weiss

Sam: "I hate this little smug brat. I still don't believe how you and him can be related" She smiled "Let's continue. Weiss, your summons and my vine golems are similar. I just think of it and let the vines do the work. I can change its appearance to even look like a person. Look" I created a vine golem, looking like me, like her and later like Ruby and (Y/N). Upon seeing them, Weiss get her head down "You really miss those two?"

Weiss: "Not only them. I miss Yang, I miss Blake, I miss Ryze and Mako too. You all are more like a family to me than my own family"

Sam: "Don't get sad, Snowflake. We will see them again. Now, try summoning again" she nodded

Weiss got back, holding her weapon before her eyes. She opened them and looked at the portrait of Arma Gigas on the wall in front of her

Sam: "That's it. Picture it. Know exactly how you want your summon to appear"

Weiss repeats the same twirl and stabs the floor again, making the glyph glow brighter and spin faster. The books shake in the bookcase on the wall, with one falling onto the floor and opens up. The wind blows again before suddenly, her room window bursts outward as the room is consumed in a bright white light. As the light abates, Weiss lowers her arm that was covering her eyes. Then the doors open wide as Klein rushes inside, hearing the commotion.

Klein: "Miss Schnee! Are you alright?!"

 His eyes widen as he leans back, looking amazed. Weiss smiled at him before turning to face the Arma Gigas that she successfully summoned standing in front of her.

Weiss: "Yes" Arma Gigas gets on one knee and bows to her

Sam: "Good job Weiss. You finally mastered your summoning and... More importantly, you regained your freedom"

Klein: "Mr. Kiryuin? What are you doing here?"

Sam: "Hey Klein. Let's say I was helping my little Snowflake find what she has lost" I smiled

Klein: "I understand. I'm happy to see you're taking care of Miss Schnee"

Sam: "And I must thank you Klein. If not for you I would never sneak my way to the party" Weiss' eyes widen

Weiss: "You allowed him in, Klein?"

Klein: "Of course. Dr. (L/N) asked to help him and being a good friends with her I did what she asked for" Weiss then looked out of the broken window

Weiss: "Klein, I need a favor" to which Klein nods determinedly

Sam: "Finally! I was choking with the smell of rich assholes!"

'Time has come. Team CRMS, my part is done. Hang in there guys, I'll be there soon with our Ice Queen'

A/N: And here we are on the last straight for Volume 4! Qrow gets poisoned, Weiss is starting her escape with Sam. Ryze pissed off Yang, but for good reason. And Ruby... Let's say a teenage mind is a mess. See you all in the next chapter

Punkie out!
