*(Y/N) POV*

Week passed and we are at the train station now. Me and Qrow are going over our letters. His to Ironwood and mine to my mom.

'Hey Mom. I'm sorry I didn't write any letters in a while, but we had a lot of work in Mistral. I tried to contact Grandma, but she must've gone for one of her trips. She may be old but her traveler spirit is still up the stake. Oh, our group is currently headed to Argus. We have a mission to do in Atlas, so, yeah, homecoming after eight years for me. Ruby can't wait to see you again, and so do I. I hope you will find the time during your work to let us visit. We will let you know when we get there. See you soon'

Sincerely

(Y/N)'

I put my letter in a mailbox after Qrow did it too

(Y/N): "If James is really closing borders then we will have a hard time getting there"

Qrow: "Even so, we're going to have to get in. One way or another. Besides, we have a son of one of the Atlas' top scientist with us" He jokes

(Y/N): "Yeah... but there is one person in my family who is not too fond with Atlesian milita-" I was cut off by Ruby bumping into Qrow as she quickly grabbed the hood of my cloak and begins to drag me behind her "Petals, wait!"

Qrow: "What's with the running, pipsqueak?"

Ruby: "And what's with the standing?! It's almost time! Come on, Cookie!"

(Y/N): "Ruby, please!" Ruby pulls me along until stopping in front of a large crowd. She then uses her Semblance to fly us through the gate. We stop near the rest of our group. She bobs up and down while humming in an adorable display while I notice that Blake and Mako are missing

Yang: "And?" Ruby shows her a bag

Ruby: "Ahh!"

Yang: "What did you get me?"

Ruby: "You'll have to wait and see!" she sings, turns around to hide the bag and show Yang a tongue while Yang tries to reach for the gift

Weiss: "What an absolute waste of time, right Sam?" she looks to him only to see him holding a small bag of his own "What's that?" Sam quickly hides the bag

Sam: "Uh... nothing! You didn't saw anything"

(Y/N): "Where is Mako?" I ask my teammates

Ryze: "Saying goodbyes to Alice. He should be here..." then Mako appeared out of nowhere

Mako: "Done!"

(Y/N): "Okay, Team CRMS, ready for travel?"

Ryze: "I'm all ready to go"

Sam: "Same"

Mako: "And do I!" Nora pops her head between us

Nora: "Oh, I can't believe we're taking the train to Argus! The beautiful northern coastline... You really think it's too early for beach season?"

Upon hearing 'beach', me, Sam and Ryze start to imagine our girlfriends in bikinis and let's say we all get our dreams destroyed pretty soon by Ren

Ren: "Unfortunately, but we will be one step closer to Atlas"

Weiss: "Well, I'm glad you're all excited. But I don't think you appreciate the trouble I went through to leave Atlas" Sam gets near her and took her hand in his own

Sam: "Snowflake, we told you, we won't leave your side. And so will I" he smiles at her as she returns the gesture

Weiss: "Thank you, Sam"

Sam: "What're boyfriends for?" we then hear a new voices

???: "No one's gotta be worried with us around" we turn around to see a pair of Huntsman walking towards us

Mako: "Who are these guys?"

???: "I'm Dee, and this is Dudley. The Argus Limited's very own huntsmen. We'll be making sure everyone stays safe on this little trip"

Dudley: "But for a generous tip, we can make sure your train car gets extra special attention should things get dangerous" they wink at Ruby, Weiss and Yang, making us three growl in anger

(Y/N): "You're barking the wrong tree, brain dead"

Dee: "What was that? You better watch your mouth, you little-"

Ryze: "How about you watch your dick get cut off, jackass. We see you two hitting on them one more time" Dee and Dudley chuckles

Dudley: "And what?"

(Y/N): "We'll kick your ass and send your corpses to both your fathers. Huh?"

Dee: "You wanna go, punk?!"

(Y/N): "I may be a punk, but at least I'm not pathetic enough to hit on girls who are one, about ten years younger than me and two, taken"

Dudley: "That's it! We will-" Qrow gets before us

Qrow: "You want a tip? I got one for you"

Dee and Dudley: "Huh?"

Qrow: "Buzz off, and don't go picking a fight with someone who can kill you with one hand behind their back"

Ruby and Yang get behind me and Ryze, making faces at the duo while Ryze flips them off and I crack my knuckles, ready to teach those Huntsman imitations some lessons

Qrow: "Looks like Mistral's really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days"

Ryze: "That putting it lightly, Qrow"

Dee: "Hey! You're talking to a-" Qrow holds his license before them

Qrow: "A professional Huntsman, I know. Well, it seems one of you heroes left the staff entrance to the caboose wide open"

(Y/N): "Really professional in my opinion. It would be a shame if you lose your job before you even begin it. Now, get the hell out to do your chores! And if we see you two hitting on OUR girlfriends again, we will stick our blades where the sun doesn't shine!" Ryze got his swords out while I get Mortem in its scythe mode to let them know we're not joking

Ryze: "NOW" they turn around and walk away, murmuring something under their nose "Thanks Qrow, we would've killed them if you didn't showed up"

Qrow: "Hey. Anything for the family, gear eyes" Ryze scraps his head

(Y/N): "You're taking their engagement extremely lightly, Qrow"

Qrow: "Kid proved his love to Yang. Who am I to stand on their way?" he shrugs and takes a sip from his flask "Besides, I already gave him my blessings when I beat him up for the first time" we stand in silence until Oscar spokes up

Oscar: "You know sometimes the burden of saving the world feels overwhelming" He turns to everyone " But then people like that come along and make me grateful that it's our jobs and theirs" We all nod and agree with Oscar as I cross my arms

(Y/N): "If we left the fate of the world to morons like them, humanity would've gone extinct a long time ago"

Qrow: "Anyway, we're all ready to go?"

Yang: "Yep. Bumblebee is all loaded up as well. Just waiting on Blake now"

Weiss: "As usual"

Ryze: "We're ready too, Qrow"

Ruby: "Alright! Then let's go!" Yang in the meanwhile grabbed her bag "Yang! Let go!"

Yang: "Come on sis, just one little pick inside'' We laugh a little at sister's tugging the bag back and forth. Soon our train arrived

*timeskip*

We were given similar rooms we had in Beacon. Ryze, Sam and I are in Team's RWBY room, as Mako went to eat something in the dining car.

Me and Ruby lie on her bed, with her between my legs, resting her head and back on my chest as I read some comics and she plays some games on her scroll. Ryze and Yang are in a similar position on her bed, watching a movie together while Sam and Weiss sit next to each other reading their books and Blake sits on hers with a book of her own. Then I noticed a familiar looking person passing by the room.

(Y/N): "Grandma...?" I say quietly but Ruby heard it

Ruby: "Your grandma? What's with her?" she looks up at me

(Y/N): "I thought I saw her passing by a second ago" I get my finger under my chin "Well, seems like I will pay her a visit whatsoever" I shrug and continue to read my comic Then Ruby jolts up

Ruby: "You never told us about her? What's she like?"

Ryze: "Yeah. I wonder how in the hell an old lady could teach you to wield a scythe like that"

(Y/N): "You want a quick version or a longer one?"

Sam: "By a longer version you mean your entire training with her or...?"

(Y/N): "Okay, so quick. Yes, she taught me everything I know. And don't let her old age fool you. She is a retired Huntress, one of the best of her generation. And she still has some strength left. I know from a lot of cane hits to the head" We laugh a little "And shins, and everywhere to be honest. She is hard when it comes to training and she really didn't want me to go to any Huntsman Academy because like she said 'It's a waste of time. Back in my days I didn't attended one of those fancy academies and so your great grandfather'"

Ryze: "So, how come she became a Huntress?"

(Y/N): "She once told me she scored higher on the licence exam than any other Huntsman or Huntress that day. Okay, enough about my grandma. Let's play some video games"

Ruby: "Video games! I will kick your butt, Cookie"

(Y/N): "Not this time, Petals" I smirk

Yang: "Sure. Babe, you want to play too?" she asks Ryze

Ryze: "Why not?" we all grab our scrolls

We were just about to start the game when Qrow gets in the doorway holding a cocktail in his hand

Qrow: "How cute"

Ruby: "Oh hey, Uncle Qrow! You wanna play too?"

(Y/N): "Hey, Big Bird. Want to play 1v1?" Qrow chuckles

Qrow: "And kick your butt? Sure"

(Y/N): "If I win you will wear a skirt for a month" I smirk, Ryze and Sam tries to stiffen a laughter as Qrow looks at me annoyed and sighs

Qrow: "Remind me to break Tai's neck next time I see him..." Suddenly, the train jolts, making Qrow drop his drink as people starts running away

Blake: "What was that?"

Weiss: "Exactly what is sounds like"

Blake: "Just my luck" Qrow looks out the window

Qrow: "It's not yours... grab your weapons!" Team RWBY get their weapons and run after Qrow, while me, Ryze and Sam run to our room to get our weapons, grab Mako and run after them

We get outside with our weapons, climbing onto the roof of the train cars, only to see a large flock of Manticore Grimm flying all around the train. We see Dee and Dudley on another train car, already fighting the Grimm. However, a larger Sphinx Grimm lands farther down, letting out a loud, monstrous roar at them. Dee charges up electricity into his club and takes a swing at it, only for a Manticore Grimm to fly by and grab him, taking him into the forest below to his death

Dudley: "DEE!"

(Y/N): "Well, I can't say it was surprising" I look at Ruby after getting Mortem out "What's the plan, Petals?"

Ruby: "Make sure no one else dies"

We jump into the fray, with me making the first move as I charge up the heat and swing my scythe wide, sending a flame wave, taking out several Manticores in the air. Grimm turns their attention to us and focuses on us. Ruby fires off a shot from her scythe, hitting one Manticore, but then another one comes flying in at her. However, a string of vines enveloped in ice fly in and pierces the Grimm. Ruby looks back to see Sam and Weiss and waves to them in thanks.

A Manticore comes in from behind them, but Sam swings his sword behind him to knock it back, followed by Weiss conjuring up glyphs, firing ice shards at it, killing the Grimm.

Yang throws a right uppercut into one Manticore, knocking it into the air, only for Ryze to fly past it with great speed and quickly cutting its wings as it began to fall into the forest below

Ryze: "Can't we for once have an easy job to do?!"

He looks up to see another Manticore lands in front of him and charges at him. He flew up and towards the Grimm, only to deliver a right swing with the dull side of his blades, breaking some of its teeth out. Later Ryze goes for an overhead swing to Grimm's skull, breaking it instantly, killing the Manticore

Mako meanwhile swings his mace around, trying to hit any Manticore flying around us. He hits some of them, instantly breaking either their wings or skulls, resulting in killing it. One of the Manticores had some luck as it lands dizzy on the top of the train. Blake then comes in, spinning in the air with her swords as she beheads the subdued Grimm. They watch the body dissipate into smoke before focusing back on the others

I jump into the air, helping myself up with my Semblance, punching a Manticore with a left hook and later swinging my scythe down as the Grimm crashes into the roof of the train. Qrow then comes in and slices the Grimm's body in two with his blade. We nod to each other, only to hear a roar above us, coming from two Manticores as they fly down. They soon fall dead as Ryze continues to give us air support. He salutes at us and I return the gesture as Qrow chuckles

Qrow: "This kid..."

We get back to fighting. I fire off a few fireballs at one Grimm, only for another to take its place. It lands and roars at me as I crack my knuckles

(Y/N): "Was that supposed to scare me? Maybe better luck next time"

Manticore charges at me, but I get the fire going on my left arm and throw an uppercut into its skull, knocking it into the air. I then throw a fireball at it, as it pierce Grimm's chest, killing it.

As the fighting continues, Qrow goes to deal with the Sphinx Grimm, keeping it at bay. He notices Dudley running up to the front of the train and takes out his scroll to activate the train's defense systems. Armored doors fold down on all of the windows and turrets pop out of the top of the cars and begin firing at the airborne Grimm.

Dudley: "Aw yeah!"

Sam: "Stop this idiot! He is drawing the Grimm closer to the train and by that, to people inside!"

Qrow swings his scythe around at the Sphinx, but it reels back to try and crush him under its paw. However Mako hits its side with his mace, making the Sphinx skid away

Mako: "If this idiot is a Huntsman, I'm a Summer Maiden's Guardian" he jokes around

Sam: "Yeah, and Ryze is Winter's Guardian" they share a quick laugh before getting back to the fight

Team JNR and Oscar finally made their way up on another car, fighting a few more Grimm off

Nora: "Why is it always something?!" she fires her grenade launcher

Ruby twirls her scythe around, fighting off one Manticore Grimm, managing to slice its head in half as the body falls off the train. Another tries to ambush her from behind, only for me to get near her as I deliver a twirl of my own scythe right into the skull of the Grimm to later kick it off the train

Ruby: "Thanks, Cookie" she smiles at me as I return the gesture

(Y/N): "No problem, Petals" We then notice Grimm jumping off the train and getting back into the air

Ruby: "What are they doing?" I turn around and my eyes widen

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

Oscar: "TUNNEL!" confirming my suspicions, everyone looked ahead to see a tunnel coming up, fast. I grab Ruby by her hand and jump down between two cars, as does the rest of our group. We regroup in one of the cars, but find Dudley with his left arm broken, screaming in pain.

Ruby: "What happened?!"

Mako: "Someone was as slow as he is stupid" he said while bandaging the arm as Dudley screams in pain "Shut up you crybaby" Qrow walks up and picks up Dudley by his shirt

Qrow: "I said, turn those damn things off" he shoves him into a wall

Dudley: "Those turrets are keeping us alive!"

Qrow: "Us, sure, but they're putting the passengers in danger!" he lets him go

Dudley: "I'm the one they hired for this job, okay?! I'm in charge here!" I get near him and grab him by the neck

(Y/N): "Listen, and better listen well, because I hate repeating myself. You got on my nerves before and you better turn off those turrets or Oum help me, I will turn them off myself and later shove your scroll down your throat! So, be a good boy and TURN THOSE DAMN TURRETS OFF!"

Dudley: "Who do you think you are, pu-" I punch him into the stomach as he falls to his knees

(Y/N): "I'd rather be a punk than a brain dead egoistic idiot like you" I turn away. Ruby meanwhile looks out the window, later looks at the scarred passengers before walking up to Dudley as Oscar helps him up

Ruby: "Please just shut off the turrets"

Jaune: "Trust us, we know what we're doing" Jaune activated his Semblance to help heal Dudley's injury. He looks between them and sighs

Dudley: "Fine, I'll shut them off" Ruby nods and Nora puts her hand on Ren's shoulder

Nora: "Ren, could you use your Semblance to mask everyone on this train? With the guns off and emotions hidden, they might lose track of us!"

Ren: "Hm, I never attempted to affect this many people"

Ruby: "Well, you've never had Jaune's help before"

Sam: "His aura will amplify yours, thus strengthening your semblance"

Mako: "That could work" Then Ozpin takes control of Oscar

Ozpin: "I'm afraid there's one complication... The Grimm are also attracted to this" he points to a relic

Dudley: "What's that?"

Qrow: "None of your business. Oz, are you sure"

Yang: "Why wouldn't you tell us that?!" Before Ozpin could say something, I spoke

(Y/N): "Now it's not the time, Yang. We have the safety of other people as our top priority" Yang crosses her arms

Ruby: "(Y/N) is right. Every second we're on board this train, we're putting everyone else in danger. Get the passengers to the front cars, you'll still mask the emotions and kill the turrets... we just can't come with you. If we cut the back cars with us and the Relic on them, we can deal with the Grimm. You just make sure the rest of the train makes it safely to Argus" Jaune finishes healing Dudley's arm and walks over to me and Ruby with a conflicted expression

Jaune: "Only if you'll promise you'll meet us there"

Ruby: "Promise"

(Y/N): "You have my word, Jaune"

With that, Team JNR begins evacuating all of the passengers to the front half of the train. Blake and Mako get outside to decouple the train, allowing the section with civilians to go safely on their way to Argus. They jump up to meet me and Ruby on the roof, as she takes a look at her scroll with Nora's signal getting weaker. Then I look up to see the Manticores emerging from the tunnel

(Y/N): "Ruby!"

Ruby: "Now!"

Nora nods as Jaune and Ren combined abilities allow them to gray out the entire front part of the train. Oscar, now back in control, observes as it vanishes into the snowstorm. Later Manticore attacks him. He manages to fend it off temporarily, only for Ryze to fly up and smash the Grimm in the face with his swords a few times, knocking it off the train

Ryze: "You good, Oscar?"

We continue to take out several Manticores one by one while Qrow is struggling against that Sphinx. Me and Ruby noticed it and we look at each other

Ruby: "We need to ground it!"

(Y/N): "Got it! Mako! Sam! Ground it!"

Sam: "On it chief!"

Mako: "Right away!"

They run side by side towards the Sphinx, slicing its sides. They later activate their Semblances as metal and vines keep the Grimm in place. Weiss uses her glyphs to freeze Sphinx's wings, with Qrow and Ruby shooting at them, shattering them. They ready their scythes as the Sphinx prepares to launch one more fireball. Qrow and Ruby launch forward, spinning their scythes together rapidly as they bisect the Sphinx's torso, finishing it off for good. Before it dies however, the Sphinx launches the fireball, destroying the rails in front of the train. Weiss activates her black Glyphs to hold us in place as the train derails and crashes into the snow. After that we all get back up

Qrow: "Is everyone okay?"

Ryze: "Alive, barely but alive"

Weiss: "I'm fine" Sam helps her up "Thank you, Sam"

Blake: "Yeah. I'm okay" I help Ruby up

(Y/N): "Petals, everything good? Nothing broken?" I check for any injury on her body

Ruby: "I'm fine, dummy" she gets on her tiptoes and kisses my cheek "See?"

(Y/N): "*phew* Good to hear that" Then we hear a new voice which makes me stiff as a board

???: "Still alive!" I and everybody else looks up and notices... Grandma Maria stepping out from the train

Maria: "That sure was a close one, huh?" she focuses her eyes on me "(Y/N)! I knew it was your doing! Always getting in trouble, don't you?" I look at her

(Y/N): "Hi... grandma Maria"

Weiss: "Wait, (Y/N), this old lady is your grandma?"

Maria: "Hey, I may be old, but my hearing is still as sharp as ever... At least, some of the time"

(Y/N): "*sigh* Grandma, why are you not in Mistral? I wanted to visit you"

Maria: "And what? Cut the support beam of my house again?" she then looks at our group "Maybe show some manners and introduce me to your friends"

(Y/N): "Yes, grandma. Guys, this is Maria Calavera, my grandmother. The same one who taught me how to wield a scythe in battle. She is also a reason why my weapon is a scythe and not a sword"

Qrow: "Wait, this old lady taught you how to fight?"

Yang: "No offence (Y/N), but she doesn't look like she could fight a newborn puppy" Grandma hits her in the shin with her cane "Ow!"

Maria: "I may be old, but I am not defenseless! I'm just a little hard of hearing. And blind without my eyes, that are in desperate need of repair" she taps her eyes. Okay, I'm starting to see your point"

(Y/N): "And you were going to Atlas in order for Pietro to repair them?"

Maria: "And to visit your mother"

Ryze: "Okay, while this is a lovely family reunion we still have something to do" he looks at derailed car "And it seems we will take a long route now"

Maria: "Is this your teammate, (Y/N)?"

(Y/N): "Yup"

Maria: "A hotheaded kid for sure"

Yang: "That's just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party and we pick up (Y/N)'s defenseless grandma" she tries to get Bumblebee out of the snow while Ryze helps her

Qrow: "Yang, knock it off, will ya? If we lose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm"

Mako: "Does it matter?"

Blake: "We've been attracting Grimm since we left Haven"

Ryze: "Right. We almost forgot" him and Yang turn to Oscar

Yang: "What happened to 'no more lies and half-truths'?" both getting angry as Oscar faces them

Oscar: "Yeah, I think it's about time we all got an explanation" Ozpin takes control

Ozpin: "I did not lie to you..."

Weiss: "Well, you certainly didn't tell us the whole truth, especially everything about the Relic"

Ozpin: "Please, now is not the time"

Yang: "No, we're way past that! I wanna know why you're STILL not telling us everything!"

(Y/N): "Oz, you better start talking. It's only will be worse for you if you don't"

Ozpin: "It is true that the Grimm are attracted to the Relics. It's faint, but undeniable. I believe it has to do with their origin, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, I feared that making you all aware would only add anxiety and negativity. It seemed like the safer option"

Weiss: "You know, I'm getting real tired of people choosing what's best for me"

Sam: "You thought you knew what was best for us? Yeah, my mother also though she knew what was best for me"

Yang: "Is that why you chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?"

Ozpin: "Yes, as a matter of fact, I believed the Kingdom of Mistral deserved better than the truth. And I believed Leonardo deserved to be remembered for his lifetime of service, and not for the unfortunate missteps he made in his final years"

Ryze: "Missteps? He served Salem all of those Huntsman from Mistral on a silver plate, helped Cinder and her goons get into the Vytal Festival, leading to Fall of Beacon! He set a trap to get us all killed in order to save his little sorry ass!"

Ozpin: "What Professor Lionheart did was reprehensible. I am not here to argue differently, but does one lapse in judgment truly negate all of his good? Do we not all have regrets? You may have met Professor Lionheart, but you never met the man he was before Salem found him" he starts walking through the snow

Yang: "Look, we're supposed to be in this together. You can trust us! We're not gonna turn our backs on you"

Ozpin: "Do you really think Leo was the first?!" he raises his voice, shocking us by his outburst as he turns to us "That he didn't say those exact same words to me? I'm sorry, but you have to understand that my behaviors are backed by experience. I'm not saying that I have reason to think you will betray me. I'm saying that I have reasons for the things that I do, the secrets I keep, the reason I... Where's the Relic?" he looks around as Ruby raises it in her hands

Ruby: "Right here. It got scattered in the crash" Ozpin reaches his hand out to her

Ozpin: "Please, hand it over"

Ruby, however, hesitates to do so

Ruby: "So all those times you talked about having faith in humanity, that was just for everyone else? What about you?" Ozpin sighs

Ozpin: "That's not what I meant to suggest. Miss Rose, the Relic is a powerful item and I simply feel as though it is my burden to bear" I get near Ruby

(Y/N): "You said Relic has no more questions to answer in this century. It doesn't matter who carries it. There is no much use for it to anyone now, correct?" Ozpin steps forward

Ozpin: "I need you to listen to me-" he suddenly stops

Qrow: "Oz?"

Oscar: "Hurry... he's... trying to stop you!" he surprises us as he tries to fight for control against Ozpin

(Y/N): "Oscar?"

Yang: "Stop her from what?" Oscar strains

Oscar: "He's afraid... you'll find out what he's... hiding!" he grits his teeth before collapsing. Yang, Weiss and Blake glare at him while I stand in front of Ruby with Mortem out, trying to protect her from anything Ozpin is planning to do, while she holds the Relic closer to her chest "Her name... is Jinn... Say her name to summon her" he strains to say

Ruby: "Her name?" Wind picks up more as Relic starts to glow in Ruby's hands "Jinn?"

Suddenly, the snow stops, floating in midair. The wind stops blowing too. Everyone looks around at the sudden change in the environment

Qrow: "What?"

We watch as the Relic of Knowledge floats into the air above them, and then gets enveloped in a thick blue smoke. Suddenly, a semi-nude female figure takes its place, with blue skin and long, dark blue hair, wearing gold jewelry and ornaments worn around her body. She moans as she stretches her body

Jinn: "Wonderful" We stare in awe at her "Tell me, what knowledge do you seek?" she rests her chin on her hand as she floats in mid-air. Grandma adjusts her goggles "I am Jinn, a being created by the God of Light to aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. I've been graced with the ability to answer three questions every one hundred years"

Mako: "What the hell...?" Jinn looks at my team and smiles

Jinn: "Ah, It's a pleasure to see you reunited, Guardians. I just wonder where are your Maidens"

Ryze: "Guardians?" he asks clearly confused

Mako: "But only Sam and (Y/N) are Guardians" he says as confused as Ryze

Jinn: "That's not true, human. You, your power comes from Summer Maiden. Power over the elements of earth"

Sam: "Sounds like your metal Semblance..." Jinn then turns to Ryze

Jinn: "You, however, your powers comes from Winter Maiden, being able to control the wind"

Ryze: "What are you talking about...? I only fly, I can't control wind"

Jinn: "What you call 'flying' is nothing more than controlling the wind around your body, letting you hover above the ground like a bird"

Sam: "Guess Dudley really is a Huntsman, right Mako?" Mako scraps his head

Mako: "I thought that it was something impossible! Alright?!"

(Y/N): "Jinn" she turns to me "Does it count as one of the questions or you just did it for free?" she smiles

Jinn: "Normally it would be counted as a question, but seeing you four clearly confused I did it for the sake of knowledge. You're in luck, as I am still able to answer-"

Ozpin: "That's enough!" we look to him, as he somehow manages to regain control

Jinn: "... two questions this era" we are shocked. Ozpin said there are no more questions to use and yet, Jinn says otherwise. She then chuckles "It also a pleasure to see you again, old man"

Ozpin: "Ruby, please... Don't" Qrow glances to Ozpin and steps forward

Qrow: "Hey" the rest of Team RWBY stands defensively between him and Ruby. He eventually relents and raises his hands in surrender "Do whatever you think is right, kiddo"

Ozpin: "Ruby, please. (Y/N), tell her some-" I cut him off

(Y/N): "Team CRMS, restrain him" Sam uses his Semblance to tie Ozpin up while Mako and Ryze point their weapons aimed at him. Ruby looks to me "Petals, you always know what's the right thing to do. Whatever it is, just do it" she nods

Ruby: "Jinn?" Jinn turns to her, while Ozpin tries to break free, only for Mako to use his semblance too, keeping him tied up now in blush and metal "What is Ozpin hiding from us?"

Ozpin: "NOOO!" he tries to reach out to Ruby, only for everything to suddenly go white, as me and Ruby stood in a white void

Ruby: "Cookie!"

(Y/N): "Petals! What the hell is going on?! Where are we?! Ryze? Sam?"

Ruby: "Weiss? Yang?" We stopped calling our teammates, as it was futile

(Y/N): "I think they're in a similar place, just not here. That's the only logical way to think about this"

Ruby relents her search too as the white space around us begins to turn into a landscape involving a path leading to a massive castle in the distance as we hear a woman humming coming from there. Then Jinn starts narrating

Jinn: "Once upon a time, there stood a lonely tower that sheltered a lonely girl. Named... Salem"

(Y/N): "Oh crap..."

A/N I did it! I restrained myself from writing a chapter over 6k words! And with meeting grandma we start Volume 6. Also a big shocker, wow, the whole Team CRMS are Guardians. Like, no one saw that coming... Anyway, feel free to vote, comment and share and I will see you next time!

Punkie out!

RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth

OCs belongs to me

(Y/N) belongs to you
