(Blake's POV)

Me, Yang, Jaune, Ren, and Oscar are following (Y/N) through the ginormous Grimm. He turned a corner, getting in front of a door.

(Y/N): This room is where the Relic is.

He looked back at us.

(Y/N): Be on guard.

He opened the door and we all walked into the room. In the center, we can see the Relic of Knowledge on a podium.

Jaune: There it is.

He tried to walk ahead, but (Y/N) put his arm out in front of Jaune, making him stop.

(Y/N): That is the Relic, but it's well guarded. The moment that Relic leaves that spot, the Grimm will notify mother at once.

Ozpin: And she'll do anything to get it back into her hands.

(Y/N) walked forward and got a closer look at the Relic.

(Y/N): Father. Tell me. How does one use the Relic of Knowledge?

Ozpin: You must say the name Jinn with the intention of asking it a question.

(Y/N): That's it?

Yang: The answers are true.

Blake: But it can only answer one more question.

(Y/N) looked back at the Relic for a moment. Most likely thinking about what to do next.

(Y/N): ...Hm?

He looked around the room.

Ren: Is something wrong?

(Y/N): Someone's in this room with us. I can hear their breathing.

We all got our weapons out and stayed on guard. (Y/N) looked around more and ran at the front door. He went to the right of it and punched something. What looked like glass shattering and Neo was standing there. (Y/N)'s fist was on her gut, making her gasp out.

Yang: Her again?!

(Y/N): You were listening to us, huh?

He went behind her and put her in a head lock.

(Y/N): After when you and Roman first escaped from me because of your semblance, I would make sure I'd never fall for it again.

Neo threw her head back, hitting (Y/N)'s nose. He flinched, making him let go of her.

(Y/N): Don't let her get away!

Me and Yang immediately dashed at Neo and attacked her, but she shattered.

Jaune: Where did she go?!

Everyone looked back and Neo is right by the Relic. She grabbed it and quickly disappeared.

Ozpin: That can't be good.

(Y/N): Crap! We need to get out of here now!

Everyone immediately ran out of the room, trying to find an exit. I can hear what sounds like distant crashing. I turned around and saw Grimm (Y/N) tear through one of the walls and started to run at us.

Blake: We have company!

(Y/N) immediately turned around and started to run at his Grimm self. They both punched each other in the face, making them both get knocked back by a couple feet. They both recovered and got ready to fight.

(Y/N): You definitely hit as hard as I do.

The Grimm (Y/N) looked at everyone and then started to run away, tearing through more walls.

(Y/N): Running away?

Ozpin: His top priority must be getting the Relic back.

Jaune: That will be great. If Salem and that (Y/N) are busy with Neo then we can get the Relic easily.

(Y/N): ...Alright. Let's get the Relic while we have this chance.

We all started to run again. After turning some corners, we went into a huge open room. I can see Grimm (Y/N) fighting with Neo. Grimm (Y/N) tried to punch Neo, but she moved out of the way and hit his face with her umbrella.

Yang: Two people who don't talk fighting. You don't hear someone "talking" about that every day.

Ren: I don't think it's the time.

Everyone was about to join into the fight, but a magic beam came out of a wall, making everyone jump back. A huge hole in the wall was formed and Salem stepped out of it.

Salem: (Y/N). Did you find the Relic?

Grimm (Y/N) pointed at Neo.

Salem: Neo. Why did you take the Relic?

Neo pointed at us, making Salem look over at us.

Salem: ...Ozma.

She said with clear venom in her voice.

Salem: Did you bring these children just to die... Like you do with our son?

Ozpin: I didn't bring anyone here. They all came here because they wanted to.

Salem: That's rich coming from someone like you.

Salem looked over at (Y/N).

Salem: Sweetie. Come over here to mommy. I know you know I'm the better parent here.

(Y/N) looked down at the ground. He started to walk forward. He can't be serious! Is he actually going to her again?! He stopped and then looked up at Salem.

(Y/N): Mother... It still feels weird to say that. I'll make this clear. I'm not going to join sides with you again. All you want to do is destroy the world.

Salem: Really? And how do you know that?

(Y/N) pointed at his Grimm self.

(Y/N): Because he was a part of me! I know the feeling and it was a want for pure destruction! You are just like him!

Salem clenched her fists. She made two magic orbs in her hands and smiled.

Salem: I'm sure you'll be listening to me after this.

She started to rub the two orbs together, making a loud ringing noise. (Y/N) didn't seem affected by them, but Grimm (Y/N) was a different story.

Grimm (Y/N): RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

He held his ears tightly as he fell down to his knees, continuing to scream. So that hate for noises was because of his Grimm self?

Salem: Oh... I guess that won't be needed anymore.

(Readers POV)

I can't believe it. I wasn't effected by that. Good thing that's gone. I got ready to fight.

(Y/N): Mother. Me and father are going to be leaving with the Relic.

She made a Grimm tentacle out of the ground and made it grab the Relic from Neo's hands.

Salem: You won't be taking this, son.

I was about to jump at her, but I saw Hazel and Tyrian come out of the hole mother made.

Hazel: There they are.

Tyrian: Little birdie! It's so good to see you again! Have you decided to join-

Blake shot at him, making Tyrian stop talking and dodge the bullet.

Blake: He isn't going back to you.

Yang: Yeah, so stop being such a crazy freak!

Ozpin: Jaune, Ren, Yang, and Blake! We'll fight Hazel and Tyrian!

They nodded and went to fight Tyrian and Hazel. I started to run at mother, but Grimm me got in my way. I tried to punch him, but he grabbed my fist. He took his free hand and tried to punch me back, but I caught his fist.

(Y/N): Get out of my way!

He just stayed silent as usual. For some reason his silence ticks me off. I quickly shoot out blood from one eye, blinding Grimm me with my blood. I grew a pair of bird wings and flew up above. I made a bunch of hedgehog quills on my back and turned around, shooting them downward. Grimm me took all the quills, getting stuck into his skin. I dived down, kicking his head and knocking him down to the ground.

(Y/N): Mother! Give me the Relic!

I jumped at mother, but a hand grabbed my ankle. I looked back and it's Grimm me that has a hold of me. He slammed me down to the ground. Before I could get up, he put his hand over my mouth. He started to punch my gut over and over again. I can feel blood escaping my mouth, but I couldn't spit it out due to his hand. Damn, he's actually trying to drown me with my own blood!

(Y/N): MMM!!

I tried to kick him off me, but he kept his grip on me. This guy is just as stubborn as me! I made a really sharp claw on one of my fingers and stabbed my cheek with it, draining the blood out. I took a deep breath from the hole and made my arm really long, punching Grimm me in the face. He let go of me and stumbled back.

(Y/N): That was way too close.

I stood up and saw mother just standing there.

(Y/N): Why are you just standing there?

Salem: Why wouldn't I? I don't need to get involved in an unnecessary fighting.

(Y/N): That's not what I mean!

Mother actually looked shocked a bit from my shouting.

Salem: You won't speak with that tone at me. Your own mother-

(Y/N): No! You're not my mother!

Mother took a step back in surprise.

(Y/N): If you were my mother, you wouldn't just watch me fight for my life! Just because you want some stupid Relic! The mother I know loves me and would do anything to protect me! But you... You just want to see me suffer! Just like that Grimm imposter over there!

I pointed at my Grimm self. Mother looked mad at me. She made magic orbs in her hands, getting ready to attack me with them.

(Y/N): Where is she?! Where is the woman I would be proud to call my mother?!

The magic orbs in mother's hands disappeared as the left half of her face went from bleach white to fair skin and her left eye went from black and red to white and blue. A single tear came down from that eye as she looked at me.

Salem: Sweetie... Help...
