Oscar Pine sits on his bed in his room, reading a book by the light of a lantern.

Oscar's Aunt: (yelling from another room) Oscar, supper's almost ready!

Oscar: What're we having?

Oscar's Aunt: Doesn't matter! You're eating it!

Oscar: (jokingly) I never agreed to these terms!

Oscar's Aunt: It's part of the "living under my roof" contract! Read the fine print, then come wash up!

Oscar closes his book and stands up. He is walking toward the door when a voice resounds, causing him to pause.

Ozpin: (disembodied) We have to leave.

Oscar continues forward.

Ozpin: Oscar. Oscar!

Oscar is about to grasp the door handle, but holds back.

Oscar: I've decided you're not real, so you might as well give up.

Ozpin: I understand how you're feeling. I went through the same panic and confusion.

Oscar turns around and looks at an open book on the floor. He bends down and shuts it, talking aloud as he puts it and the one next to it away on a shelf.

Oscar: It's not real. It's not real. It's not real.

Oscar stands up and his reflection is visible in the window.

Ozpin: I can assure you, you are perfectly sane.

Oscar: I'm talking to a voice in my head.

Ozpin: I didn't say you were normal. I said you were sane.

Oscar starts to leave his room again.

Ozpin: There's quite a significant difference between--

Oscar: Shut up! You think this is funny? It's not.

Ozpin: We are in complete agreement on that matter, I promise you. Believe me, I wish this weren't the case. But as I've told you, our Aura, our souls are combined.

Oscar looks up at the ceiling without really focusing on anything but clearly showing his disgust.

Oscar: I'm done listening to you.

Ozpin: Have you ever been to Haven?

Oscar: I told you I'm not going, and I told you I'm done listening.

Ozpin: Do you think you could describe the Headmaster's office?

Oscar: No. Why would I know that? I've never seen--

Ozpin: Try. Right now.

Oscar: It's probably... It's...

His eyes widen and his face slackens. The visual pans around his head in a circle as he continues to speak.

Oscar: It's autumn-colored... with a large mahogany desk. There's a small table with chairs in a corner for guests, with a tea set that... I... I gave him.

The pan stops when Oscar refers to himself in the first person. He puts his hand to his head, disconcerted.

Oscar: Why did I say that? Why did I know that? Why did I say that?

Oscar becomes increasingly bothered and he starts backing up, dropping his hand.

Ozpin: Because I helped build that school, and the tea set was a gift to the man running it now.Oscar sits on his bed and holds his head, groaning.

Ozpin: If you don't believe me, you can look it up. If I recall, your aunt has several books on Mistral downstairs. I'm certain you could find a picture in one of them.

Oscar: (straightening up and lowering his hands) That... that's right, I must've seen it in a picture. (sighing)

Ozpin: Oscar...

Oscar stands upright, tightening his fists at his sides and shouts.

Oscar: Stop talking to me!

Ozpin: I have a grave responsibility to uphold. We both do.

Oscar: (falling to his knees) I never agreed to anything.

Ozpin: No, you didn't. And neither did I, at first. But you do have an opportunity.

Oscar: For what?

Ozpin: Greatness, hopefully. Greatness in knowing that, when the world needed help, you were the one to reach out your hand. It won't come without hardship, without sacrifice, but I know you don't want to live the rest of your life working as a farmhand in Mistral.

Oscar: (hands on his head again, eyes wide) So you just decided to read my thoughts?

Ozpin: I... well. They're our thoughts, now.

Oscar: (groaning) Get out of my head!

Oscar's Aunt: Oscar! Supper time! I better see clean hands!

Oscar looks toward the door, but remains silently on the floor.

(with Wiess)

She walks to the window and pulls the curtains shut. She moves her bed over several feet, pushes a desk and kicks aside a low glass bench at the foot of her bed. A wide shot shows the furniture askew. A cushioned stool is on its side on the floor, and a long white box marked with the Schnee snowflake symbol rests on her vanity. She approaches the box and opens it to reveal Myrtenaster and Dust vials inside. She lifts her weapon and poses with the blade held vertically in front of her face. Soon the door opens to see Jacques

Jacques: I really can't get you out of the huntress since your brother. Ok. If I know where your brother is going. Is Haven. You'll meet him there. I will prepare a ship for you.

Wiess: thanks I guess dad.

Jacques: Your welcome. You will Be leaving tomorrow.

Wiess: ok.

(with Xero and Askad)

Tyrian Callows pulls his tail back. Qrow turns around, swinging his weapon and holding at the ready by his side. Askad then lands next to Qrow

Qrow: Glad to see you alive kid.

Askad: You have no idea

Tyrian: As I live and breathe, Qrow Branwen. (mock bowing) A true Huntsman has entered the fray! And you? I wanna say Robo. Qrow what this guys name.

Askad: The name is Askad Fall. The Brother of Cinder Fall. and not the monster that works with you that took her name and killed her

Tyrian: Wow talk about venom.

Ruby gets up and sets Crescent Rose on its end. Qrow glances back at her.

Ruby: (to Qrow) I don't know, this guy's weird.

Qrow: (facing Tyrian again) Look, pal, I'm not sure who you are, but you need to leave my niece alone.

Tyrian chortles.

Tyrian: Why, friend, my name is Tyrian. And I'm afraid that is not possible. (places his hands together before gesturing at Ruby) My assignment from Her Grace was to retrieve this young girl. So, that is what I must do. ( placing a hand on his chest) One does not upset the Queen.

Ruby: Queen?

Qrow: Salem.

Ruby: Who?

Askad: No one of important for you to listen in

Tyrian: Hmm, I think we've had enough talk now, don't you?

Askad: As much as my every fiber of my robotic being wants to puke. I agree. Have at thee.

Tyrian assumes a crouching position. While Askad Charges out two balls of Orange energy comes out of Askads New robotic hands.

Qrow: You took the words right out of—

Tyrian rushes Qrow before he can finish voicing the thought and the two begin fighting. Qrow blocks two strikes with Harbinger, then slashes at Tyrian who jumps trying to pierce Qrow as he lands. Qrow dodges then swings but Tyrian back-flips away and rushes back in. The two clash as Tyrian goes flying, he comes to a stop digging his weapons into the ground. He ducks to avoid a slash from Qrow then leaps aside to dodge a horizontal strike. He follows up with a slash, using the force to transition into a kick that Tyrian slides under, then the Faunus tries to strike his back but it is stopped. Tyrian attacks again as Qrow parries several thrusts of his tail. As Tyrian blocks a downward strike pinning him on his knees a roof gets damaged by the shock-wave and Tyrian uses The Queen's Servants built in guns to get free. As Qrow blocks the shots with Harbinger Tyrian circles him firing a steady barrage, Ren and Nora join in, but Tyrian catches their sneak attack and dodges then easily knocks them away. He moves to chase them as the two land back near Jaune and Ruby, but Qrow intervenes to hold him back.

Qrow: Don't come closer!

Askad: There are fights that are times you can join. Today is not this fight.

The two men continue to fight. Askad then Jets in and throws the energy balls that hits Callows and then Askad Kicks The scorpion in the face Before Grabbing him and Jet boost him up in the air throwing him and Fires off energy bursts hitting Tyrian before he falls With Askad Axe kicking him.

This is enough to make Ruby decide to no longer stay back. Staring at the dust cloud in concern she descends to street level. Just as she reaches the building, Qrow comes crashing out through a wall, his body bouncing. He tosses Harbinger which lands with its blade in the ground, and Qrow perches atop it. Red flickers of damaged Aura move over his body twice.

Tyrian comes out of the floating dust and grime inside the building, purple flickers moving across his body. As the two begin to strike again, Ruby jumps in between and deflects Tyrian's blades with Crescent Rose.

Jaune: Ruby!

Ren holds Jaune back from moving forward.

Tyrian: Do you wish to be taken?

Ruby: No! But I won't stand by and watch someone get hurt!

Both Qrow and Ruby move in to attack Tyrian who parries both weapons and the three clash. He kicks Qrow away then shoots and jabs at Ruby with tail, she blocks and tries to counter but the blow is knocked aside. His eyes purple again, Tyrian closes in and almost gets her with his stinger, but Qrow blocks it.

Qrow: (glancing to the side) Ruby! What did I say?! Get back! 

Ruby: This is my fight, too!

Askad: XERO USE YOUR BLOOD WIRES!

Xero nods and uses his blood wires to Tangle Ruby and pushing her away form the fight.

Askad then Throws more energy balls and Strikes Tyrian with his Fists. The energy Follow Tyrian and it hits him. Qrow curls his hand into a fist Shrugs then switches to punching Tyrian in the face. He groans in pain backing up before Qrow lands a few more hits. With a final kick, he manages to send Tyrian flying and casually moves to retrieve Harbinger from where it embedded in a wall. A frustrated Tyrian waits crouched until Qrow has his back turned before striking, but Qrow merely leaps on top of his own weapon and partially changes it to scythe mode. Using the gun barrels he propels himself to a roof top, Tyrian follows as their battle continues. They appear evenly matched until Qrow notices a damaged beam. He tricks Tyrian into landing on it and the Faunus descends into the building and uses his tail to drag Qrow down, too. As the two land, the remaining roof collapses inward. Askad then Swaps into flight mode and throws more Energy Blasts.

Pyrrha: Askad adapted to his new body

Eve: Try not to Destroy this one.

Pyrrha: It was one time Eve. I took a life of someone of metallic Origins. And I will try ok.

Eve: good.

Askad Then See Tyrian jump at him Using his tail and his semblance with the tail. But Askad Grabs the tail tip Before gut punching the Scorpion And striking him to the ground. His Aura was shattered Askad then lands.

Askad: Stay down.

Tyrian get's up before Askad getting ready to punch him. yet he stumbles back

Tyrian: (to himself) She'll forgive you.

He runs away. Xero then Let's go of Ruby. 

Qrow: Well now.

Askad: I think we will be seeing him again soon. Not just here.

Ruby: (rushing to his side) Uncle Qrow! Are you okay?

Qrow: I'm fine. Thanks To Askad.

Askad: ya. I guess we tell them.

Xero: Tell us what.

Askad (turning his head to Xero):  What's your favorite fairy tale?
