Continue and Move On
Sans and Amber are now waking though another path here. After what had just happen, Sans is having trouble controlling himself from such an event. The fact of seeing his father from that hallucination wanted to go and save him. He had just wish that he never seen that thing. Luckily, Amber had saved him. Now, they are walking to the third part of this.
This place is called the Path of Joy. It is a place to recover once you had venture the Chill. Those that are here began to experience something that made them happy the most here. When Sans and Amber went onto the path, he is beginning to feel much better. But Sans is still not able to get over what he had seen from earlier. In fact, he has no idea what to think of what he had just seen. It is just that Sans really wanted to see his father again after so long. But even though he avenged his death, he still had not gotten over it yet.
Amber took notice of this, and began speaking to Sans.
"Sans...What has happen there..."
Before she could speak up, Sans than spoke to her.
"I know what you mean...and you know what, I prefer to not talk about it. I know father is dead, and here, I am now trying to move on. The Broken Blizzard has manipulated my memories into something physical so that it could make me do a big mistake. I should thank you for stopping me, Amber. If you hadn't stopped me, it would have been terrible."
Amber looked down, but nodded. Sans, unfortunately, felt like he was going to cry again. But Amber has noticed it. She than grabbed onto Sans' hand, and she stopped waving, which also had stopped Sans. Sans than looked at her in a great confusion, as he spoke out to her.
"Amber...What is the matter?"
Amber looked down at Sans, who than bends her knees, and kisses him in the lips. This completely surprised him. But Amber does not care. She wants Sans to become and gain his own happiness. Sans, now feeling more comfort than ever before, felt a bit of joy, and cupped Amber's pretty face.
As this happens, the pink leaves than began to move towards where the pair kiss. Than the pair on now inside of a pink twister.
The place is responding to Amber's Joy and Sans' happiness. This is another purpose of the forest. It tests people to see if they can regain their joy, and brings them to the final area, in which the enterance is summoned before the 2 lovers.
As the tornado continues spinning, Sans than sees something. Memories. All filled with immense happiness. He sees himself playing with his brother. Him being with Neo and Emerald as children, Blake accepting him, Ruby and Yang being forgiven by him, Having met new friends at Beacon, saving Velvet from Cardin, and finally, the last one is the most important of them all. It was at the cliff, with Sans sitting ext to his father, Gaster. Gaster than speaks out to Sans.
"My son...no matter what people say about you, you are still the same boy that I love dearly. You are my world here, and I will do anything that I can to give you back your happiness here. I will not give up on you, Sans. And you will not give up on everybody that cares for you. Because...at the end of the day, and the beginning of the night, you will always be my Son to this day, my Little Owl."
When Sans let's go from Amber's lips, a shining light than appears from before the 2 lovers. Suddenly, a rift in reality began to shift before them, and it began to twist. When it was done, a yellow portal had now appeared.
Sans and Amber was surprised at what had just happened. This portal has a dragon that seems to resemble the God of Light's dragon form. This had come out of nowhere, they couldn't believe it. How did that even happen, Sans than asked the question.
"Did that really just happen?"
Sans spoke to Amber, shocked. But Amber is smiling strangely.
"You are a smarter person than even me here, Sans. You should have known now."
Sans looked a bit embarrassed, before Amber and Sans jumped into the portal, which closes. This is just getting weirder.
Meanwhile, in Argus...
Jaune: "Oscar!"
Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, and Saphron Cotta-Arc are walking down a sidewalk at night. Pyrrha went her own way. Nora than called out his name to.
Nora: "Oscar?"
Ren: "This city's enormous, he could've gone anywhere."
Jaune: "This is all my fault... I overreacted."
Saphron: "I still don't really understand what happened. Was it about the mission?"
Nora: "It's... kind of hard to talk about."
Saphron: "I know, I know, "top secret". Did he... do something wrong?"
Jaune: "No... he didn't. We just got some new information and... it's going to be a lot harder than we thought."
Saphron: "I mean, if it was easy, then it wouldn't be important. Right?"
Ren: "I think we're all just a bit unsure of what to do next."
Saphron: "You could... stay in Mistral, get your licenses at Haven, and come back to Argus. There's a lot of good you can do here. I know your mission is important, but it's not like you're the only ones who can do it. It's not the only mission that needs doing."
Jaune: "It's... not that simple."
Saphron lingers a bit behind while Jaune, Ren and Nora walk forward, before turning around to look back at her.
Saphron: "Well, uh... I should go pick up Adrian from daycare. I'll let Terra know what's happened, and we'll meet you later. Good luck."
The three Team JNPR members watch Saphron leave before looking down sadly.
Nora: "Hey, there's a cafe over there. Why don't we get something to warm up?"
Jaune: I'm okay. You two go on ahead.
Ren and Nora watch Jaune walk away with sad looks on their faces. Jaune takes a seat on a nearby bench.
Nora: "You don't want anything?"
She and Ren then exchange a brief glance.
Ren: "We'll be right back."
Ren and Nora walk away, leaving Jaune alone. Jaune keeps his head down while the wind blows, and a dried maple leaf flies in in front of Jaune.
Back with Sans and Amber...
Sans and Amber are now at the last place before the Domain of Light. This is known as Summer's Exile. It is the last test that they must get past. The problem is, however, they have no idea what the test is. The test, unlike the others that they have heard in stories, is hidden. But Sans could sense that something is suddenly so...off.
Sans than stood, and Amber noticed what is wrong now.
"Sans, What are you stopping?"
Sans glared, and spoke out.
"There is something coming here. And it is not friendly."
Suddenly, the golden leave began to shift and form darastically. It had become a golden leaf tornado very greatly.
It than began to spin, before it than spreads out, and another entity than suddenly appears.
The entity has a strange ancient tone to its appearance. But what it said next really shows how ancient.
"Curious. I have expected for you to come later, not sooner. I am Phix. I am the riddler to the God of Light, as well as the protector of the Domain of Light. In order to get past my protection, you must first answer the Riddle of Light. If you succeed, I will grant you enterance. But if you fail, your existence will be worth collecting."
Sans looked fearlessly at Phix. But Amber looked very afraid. Sans than spoke out loud.
"We accept your challenge, Phix. Give us the riddle now."
The entity than smirked at his boldness.
"My, my. Are we not very brave here. Or are you simply foolish."
Sans continued to look, fearlessly.
"Very well. I shall give it to you right now"
Than, the entity's eyes began to glow a golden color.
"Who is this being. What is the name of the being that has given birth before the ages of Light and Dark has been born, and yet, Evolution still remains?"
Sans actually does not know this one. But it does sound familiar. As Sans than looked in his memory, he than began to think of one deity that can be so. But than, a voice spoke out.
"No, Sans."
He turns, and sees Kyo watching.
"It is not me. It is the name of my mother. I am simply a god, that is all. I am not the first being. I am just one of the strongest to exist here. I wish I could tell you, but Phix would sense what is happening inside of your own head. You will need to figure it out yourself right here."
He says to Sans, before he disappears back inside Sans. Sans nodded, before thinking in his own head.
'Man...What do I do?! If Kyo cannot help me...no, you CAN do this, Sans. You just need to think. Think! There were to beings before time. You can remember one, who's called Gaia, which is because of Kyo. But who's the other one? Come on, Sans, Remember the book you had once read!'
As he began to think, he than remembers the appearance of the being. White hair, Turqoise eyes, white dress, flower on the top of head. It is just the name that is troubling him. He has heard the name Gaia a number of times, and it is overshadowing the one he is looking for. And it is panicking him.
'Damn it. I cannot think! Just what is her name?!'
As he began to think, he than saw a memory. A memory of his father. It's where the answers laid.
Memory...
"You see, Sans. There are 2 primordial deities that have made our world here."
Gaster said to his son. Sans than looked up, curious.
"What are their names, Daddy?"
Gaster than spoke it out.
"The youngest is named Gaia, who made the world and the plants in Remnant itself. The second, the oldest and the one that made creatures...her name is..."
Memory end...
...Eve."
Phix cocked her head to the left, unsure what she had heard is the answer. Sans than opens his eyes, and spoke to her.
"That person...is it Eve?"
Phix than looked rather surprised, before laughing with great amusement.
"How exciting! Not many are able to know this answer. Only few say such answers. I have not heard this in so many years since Humanity was first destroyed! Very well, you may pass, the both of you here."
Phix than disappeared, and the lovers than continue going forward. Sans and Amber than held hands with one another, genuinely. Sans and Amber looked at each other, before kissing each other. This may be the only time they must enter here. But here, it is a great moment for them now. Here, they can now enter the place after so much struggle: the Domain of Light.
Back in the Argue City...
Ruby Rose is looking down with a look of disapproval on her face. She lets out a disappointed sigh.
Yang: "I've never seen him this bad."
Ruby, along with the rest of Team RWBY and Maria Calavera, find Qrow Branwen passed out on some stairs leading up to a house. Kage than emerges from the darkness. Mecha and Penny flies down, and Pyrrha than returns back.
Ruby: "Come on, let's get him up."
The two sisters grab their uncle's arms and sit him up. Kage used shadows to steady him when he is unconscious. Qrow groans and rubs his eyes.
Qrow: "Why am I on the stairs?"
Ruby: "Probably because no one's home, Uncle Qrow. We've been out looking for Oscar."
Qrow: "Oscar?"
The group hears footsteps. They turn to see Jaune, Ren, Nora, as well as Saphron and Terra, who is holding Adrian in her arm, walking towards them. The two mothers look at Qrow.
Terra: "I'm sure this looks great to the neighbors."
Kage looks a bit confused.
Saphron lightly elbows her wife while Jaune and his teammates walk up to the group.
Ren: "No luck?"
Blake: "No, you?"
Jaune: "Don't worry, we aren't going to Atlas without him."
Ruby: "We?"
The Team JNPR members share a smile. Jaune than spoke to Saphron.
Jaune: "Sorry we won't be staying."
Saphron than smirked, widely
Saphron: "No you're not."
Terra: "How about we get out of the cold?"
The door to the house is heard opening. Everyone gasps in shock as a familiar voice is heard.
Oscar: "Oh, I was wondering when you'd get back."
Oscar Pine stands at the doorway, now wearing a fancy green coat.
Everyone: "OSCAR!!"
Nora screams in joy as Oscar initially has a confused look on his face, and then one of comical terror as the seven students all leap forward and tackle hug him. Everyone laughs there, while Lage does a facepalm. Now inside the house, Ruby helps Oscar up as everyone shares a laugh.
Weiss: "You had us worried sick!"
Ruby: "Are you okay?"
Nora: "What are you wearing?"
Penny: "You look so cute now!"
Mecha: As well as more fashionable than your previous outfit!
Oscar than smiles and rubs the back of his head.
Oscar: "Uh..."
The rest of the group steps into the house.
Terra: Is something cooking?
Oscar: Oh, uh, yeah. I thought you guys would appreciate a hot meal after... spending all day looking for me, apparently.
Jaune: "It's my fault we were all out there in the first place. Oscar, I am so sorry for earlier. I was way, way out of line, and what I said--"
But Oscar interrupted Jaune, and than spoke to him, kindly
Oscar: "No, it's okay. These past few days, I've been scared of the same things you were. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be... me. But I did some thinking, and I do know that I want to do everything I can to help with whatever time I have left."
Everyone shares a smile.
Kage: 'Well, it seems he is become more better now.'
Suddenly, a smoke alarm goes off.
Oscar gasps as he knows that it is burning.
Oscar: "The casserole!"
Kage looked and giggled there. Mecha than lichee at such an embarrassing thing happening here.
Mecha: Hahahahaha...now you are among yourself look very silly.
Penny also giggled at that. Obviously, she also finds this even very funny right there. Summer simply giggled at that. Kage slapped his own head
Kage: 'But maybe not with Oscar, who is very clumsy.'
May just simply giggled here, and Papyrus chuckling rather lightly. Obviously, he never laughed since the Fall of Beacon commencing. The same goes for Pyrrha, who is giggling as well. Saphron than giggled, and makes a joke towards Oscar's reaction
Saphron: "hmhmhm...We're on it, chef."
Saphron and Terra step into the kitchen to take care of Oscar's cooking, which has now become burnt.
Ruby: "Uh, combat gear looks good."
Ruby and Oscar share a smile. Then, the group notice Qrow walking up the stairs. Summer than looks up and speaks in a stern voice.
Summer: "Where are you going now?"
Qrow looks down at her, as he spoke out to her.
Qrow: "I don't want to get in the way of your celebration."
But Summer disapproves and speaks to him.
Summer: "You've been gone all day! Just sit with us."
Qrow: "Haaaa...Look, Ruby, I'm glad you kids worked out, uh, whatever all that was. But the fact is, we're not a single step closer to Atlas."
Jaune: "Actually, I think I have an idea. But... it's sort of a "no-going-back" kind of idea."
Ruby: "Well, let's hear it."
Jaune: With Cordo on watch, only Atlas airships have the clearance to leave for Solitas. So... we... steal an Atlas airship.
Jaune than said, as he nervously shrugs at his last statement.
Everyone gets shocked looks on their faces. Adrian giggles in Maria's arm.
Weiss: "That's not just breaking the law. That's... that's definitely worse."
Pyrrha: "That sounds very risky."
Papyrus: "And I like it."
Kage: "I do to, Pappy."
Yang: "How would we even get onto the airfield?"
Jaune: "That part I haven't quite figured out yet. But I--"
Qrow than interrupts
Qrow: "Okay, stop. Just... stop! Look, if this thing goes south, it's not something we can just fight our way out of. This is the Atlas Military we're talking about. Haaaa...For your sake, just drop this.
Everyone looks down with discouraged looks on their faces. Ruby notices this and turns back to Qrow with a determined look on her face.
Ruby: "I want to hear him out."
Qrow than spoke very tired.
Qrow: "Ruby..."
But Ruby, having enough, speaks
Ruby: "I want to hear him out! I know you're trying to protect us, that you're afraid we can't do it, but right now, I don't really care what you think!"
Qrow gains a shocked expression upon hearing this.
Ruby: "Just because you don't have an idea, doesn't mean we're out of options! Oz hasn't been here to tell us what to do, but we still managed to get this far anyway. We've been in bad situations before, and we don't need an adult to come save us or tell us what to do. We just did it our way! And I say we do it our way. And if you think you can keep up with us "kids"... we'd be happy to have you."
Everyone smiled. Penny and Mecha hug each other. Papyrus and May did as well. Summer smiled proudly at Ruby, seeing how much her daughter had grown from this situation.
Qrow looks down sadly. Than, he hears and notice Maira laughing aloud.
Maria: "Hahahahahahaha...Looks like you didn't give her enough credit either."
Qrow doesn't say anything, he looks back to Ruby while she looks back at him determined.
