We now open to you still on the ground but your eyes are open with a red glow and sliced. You then sit up looking around june then hugs you

June: y/n, thank gods your okay

You then look at her with a blank stare. You look at the others who rush you and group hugged but Quill noticed but continued to defend Octavia 

Quill: alright kid, help!

You then grow an angered look and get up and summoned a purple cannon 

Then you had a vision of Cinder with her bow aiming at you then Raven with her mask on with a red glow in her eye holes. You then widen your eyes

then a purple armour with a red visor surrounded you covering your head and body

You then float upward and fly to the entrance of the Relic. But Emerald and Mercy get in the way

Mercy: y/n, what's going on with you

You aim your cannon at them and making them confused and shocked.

You: I will fight anyone who stands in my way

Emerald: y/n

Then a built up of yellow energy comes on and fires out lighting. They jump out of the way just as the beam hits the ground making a burn.

As the three continue to ride down the platform, they see the vault under Haven Academy - a massive cavern with a large tree that has glowing orange flowers. The platform reaches the bottom, and the gate protecting the vault is lowered into the ground.

Cinder doesn't say anything still upset on what she's done. Raven looks at her then moves forward

Raven: Can we please not linger?

Cinder still doesn't say anything

Vernal steps off the platform first, followed by Cinder, and then Raven, the latter putting her mask back on.

They walk to the grand door

Vernal, Cinder, and Raven walk towards the Relic chamber. Suddenly, a symbol on the ground glows bright, as well as the circle enclosed around it. Similar circles with symbols in them also glow leading up to the Relic chamber's door. The tree's flowers then glow even more, and it's petals gently fall and float around the vault. One petal falls into Vernal's hand.

Cinder: Open it

Vernal glares at her and puts a hand up and was ready to touch it but an explosion erupts through the cavern. you fell through the entrance landing to the ground and look up with glowing eyes. You look to  see Cinder widening her eyes along with Raven.

Cinder: y/n, your alive

You stood straight putting another cartridge into the gun a symbol of fire. Then you looked back up at the group and aim your weapon

You: I have come for that relic

Cinder stares at you seeing clearly it wasn't who she loved. You then walk over dragging the cannon

Cinder: y/n what are you doing

You continued on ignoring her

You: give me the relic

Cinder: it's me Cinder, we were friends-

You then raised it aiming at Cinder

You: you were never my friend, I fight for my own friends

You then turned the cannon aiming it at Raven which Cinder noticed

Cinder: why is he-

She puts the dots together and gets ready pulling her swords

Cinder: your the real maiden, not Vernal 

Raven: guess the secrets out, y/n what's going on. This isn't you

You: give. Me. The relic. Now!

 You then pulled the trigger and fire erupted out and was about to hit Raven who uses her Maiden powers to form an ice wall blocking the fire.

Cinder then gets out her blades and goes around dodging the fire blasts. She then tries to strike you but you blocked her with the side of the cannon. Holding you.

Then Raven rushed in with her weapon out along with Vernal. You then pushed Cinder and summoned a black blade with yellow crystals in your other hand

You block Ravens attack and fire the cannon at Vernal pushing her back then Cinder hits her blades on your back causing a dent in the armour.

You then hit Cinder with the back of your elbow. You then pressed a switch and the cartridge pops out and put another in with the symbol of a black circle. Raven charges at you.

But you then swung the sword which Raven blocked. As the two struggle you raise the cannon right in her face and sees a purple glow coming through it.

But Vernal puts the cannon in-between her weapon and turning it making you fire up to the rocks making them fall.

Vernal struggling: come on pretty boy this isn't you.

Raven: you need to protect Yang, she needs you

You: I'll kill you, Raven Branwen

Raven: heard that before I'm not going to kill you.

You: then I'll just have to strip the very flesh and rip the maiden out of you

Cinder: y/n only females can have a maiden powers

You: I have ways to harness it's power

Raven slips by taking her blade and Vernal lets go as well making you stumble forward. Raven looks at her disciple. 

Raven: sorry, vernal

Vernal: what?

Raven slices her sword making a portal behind Vernal she noticed

Vernal: wha, Raven!

Raven stood in front and pushed her through it then closed it behind her. Raven then aims her sword at you recuperated by the slip. You then look behind yourself seeing Cinder with both blades out

Cinder: y/n this isn't you, where is my lovable man 

You then clicked the ammo out replaced it with an ice cartilage. And fired out ice who hits Cinder in the arm.

She drops to the ground in pain and clenches it seeing it turn blue. She looks up with tears streaming down her cheek you aim the cannon right in her face

Cinder: please y/n. I'm sorry

You look at her and your eyes flicker and return to there natural colour and shakes your head holding it then looked at Cinder. You dropped the cannon and sword and retracted the helmet with tears going down your eyes. You kneeled and hugged her

You: I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Cinder: no, I should've done this.

Cinder then grabs your face and kissed you. You then melt in and kissed back but was ruined

Raven: hate to separate this moment but do you still want the relic

Cinder: yes, but it's going to be in more capable hands

You: thank you,  but what about her

Cinder: I'll think of something

She then gets up, walks over to the ledge and looks down into the crevasse. She then takes out her scroll and text to Emerald and Mercy.

(Meanwhile)

Mercy and Emerald were "fighting" with RWBY and JNPR Rin then goes for Hazel who punches her out. Quill charges but was knocked back into the wall and then falls to the ground next to the downed Rin, who struggles to get back up as well. Octavia Pine uses The Long Memory to block flaming rocks being fired from Stalwart. Hazel charges forward and punches Octavia several feet back.

Hazel: Hiding behind the face of a child? A monster like you must be stopped!!

Nora charges at Hazel with a loud battle cry. She leaps into the air, but Hazel catches Magnhild and slams Nora into the ground. Hazel then grabs Nora's head, electrocuting her with his lightning Dust-enhanced arms. She screams out in pain.

Hazel: How many more children must die for you?!

Suddenly, Nora grabs Hazel's wrist.

Hazel: Huh?

Nora, inadvertently enhanced by Hazel's electricity thanks to her Semblance, stands back up and flips him over her shoulder. He rolls back several feet away. Nora then holds Magnhild up defensively, before Ozpina gets her attention.

Ozpina: (to Nora) His Semblance... he can block out pain. It's how he is able to handle injecting so much Dust into his body.

Nora stares back at Hazel, who stands back up.

Nora: (darkly) I don't need him to hurt...

Hazel screams and charges forward again.

Nora: I just need him to GO DOWN!!

As Hazel nears her, Nora preps to swing Magnhild. She then swings her hammer right into Hazel's chest, her counterattack launching him through the wall and outside onto Haven Academy's quad. Adam Taurus and White Fang soldiers look on.

White Fang Soldier: (to Adam) What's going on in there?

Hazel: None of your concern...

Adam and his followers stare in amazement as they watch Hazel get back up. He then takes out a pair of red Dust crystals and stabs them into his arms. He lets out another roar as Ruby watches from inside the building. She then looks back to her friends and allies, all of them looking tired and worn out from the battle they've endured.

Adam: Stay focused! Our friends are almost done here.

Adam and his followers get back to work, but then they hear a voice call out to him.

Blake: ADAM!!

They all look up and see Blake Belladonna standing proudly on top of the roof of a nearby building.

Adam: Blake?

Hazel: Who is that?

Blake: Stand down!

The White Fang soldiers aim their firearms at her.

Adam: Wait! (putting his hands up as the White Fang soldiers stand down, before laughing evilly) To think that I went through so much trouble to find you, only to have you deliver yourself to me.

Blake: This isn't what's right for the Faunus! Stop what you're doing and we can end this peacefully.

Adam: You're wrong, Blake, and you can't stop us.

Blake: No, I can't. Not by myself.

You: not by herself at least 

Adam and his followers turn to the left in surprise, seeing you and by your side was Sienna and Eve standing in front of a massive legion of Faunus all armed with blunt weaponry, their shields bearing the old White Fang symbol.

Adam: What?!

White Fang soldier 1: isn't that high leader Khan

White Fang soldier 2: I thought Adam said she betrayed us

White Fang Soldier 3: Who's there?

They then turn to the right, and see Ghira Belladonna leading another massive legion of Faunus.

Ghira: Your brothers and sisters.

One of the White Fang Soldiers lowers his weapon, recognizing one of the Faunus in the crowd. The ram Faunus 

White Fang Soldier: M-- Mata?

Mata the now known Faunus is seen in the crowd holding a club and shield.

Mata: (pleading) Please... stop this...

Adam and his followers look all around them assessing the situation.

Adam: Make no mistake, brothers! These are our enemies! And we will not let them ruin--

Suddenly, Adam is interrupted when a Mistral airship shines its searchlight down on Adam and his group. The Mistral police captain is seen on the airship with Kali Belladonna.

Mistral Police Captain: (over P.A.) Adam Taurus, this is the Mistral Police Force! Lower your weapons and surrender peacefully.

More Mistral airships arrive. Back inside, Ruby knocks Emerald back a few feet. Emerald then hears the sounds of the Mistral airships as their searchlights shine through the windows. Everyone stops what they are doing. 

Mercy then gets a buzz from her scroll

Mercy: let's go

Emerald: what about Cinder and the relic

Mercy: she says it's time

Emerald: is she sure

Mercy: yeah, so let's go

They then walk away and Ruby calls out

Ruby: wait where are you going to go

Emerald: we don't know, but what we know, were not with Salem

She then casts an illusion where they faded away to dust

Back outside Blake lands to the ground from the roof.

Adam: How?! How did you do this?!!

Blake: Adam, it's over.

Adam looks around as the crowds of Menagerie Faunus get closer to him and his group. He then pulls out a detonator.

Adam: Then it's over for all of us.

Eve: brother, please, this is insane 

Adam: you've chosen your side 

Female White Fang Soldier: Hey wait!

Adam's followers hold up their arms as they brace for the impending explosion. Adam presses the button, but nothing happens.

Adam: Huh?

He presses the detonator button a few more times, nothing happens.

White Fang Soldier: What are you doing? Trying to get us all killed?!

Suddenly, Adam grabs his collar.

Adam: (enraged) I am making humanity pay for WHAT THEY'VE DONE!!

Adam let's go and pushes the White Fang soldier back when Blake speaks.

Blake: We sent someone over to confirm your explosives, and once we did, she disarmed them.

Ilia Amitola walks out from around the tower, dropping her black camouflage as she holds the wires in her hand that disabled the bombs. Adam seethes, realizing that the situation is no longer in his favor.

Adam: (turning to Hazel) What do we do?!

Hazel: (cracking his knuckles) This... is your business. Not mine. Fix it.

Adam just glares back at him before turning to Blake.

Blake: I told you, Adam. It's over...

Adam, not having any of it, yells out in frustration and charges forward toward Blake. He takes out Wilt from Blush to slash at her, but Blake uses her Semblance to get out of the way and she knocks him down by balling her fists together and hitting his back. Adam falls to the ground on his knees, before yelling out to his followers.

Adam: KILL THEM!!!

And thus, the battle between both Faunus groups begin. The White Fang soldiers draw their weapons and attempt to fire at the Mistral airships. You then came up to him with an axe

You swing the axe down but was blocked by his katana. You then swung back swinging it to the side you but was blocked by Adam's katana you then slide down getting it hooked on and pulling it out of his hand. Eve jumps over you but Adam pulls out his holster to block his sister's blade. He rolls and grabs his blade back and were in hold out

Eve: brother please, this is madness

Adam: you always saw what our goal was and you turned your back on it

Eve:  you know what, Blake was right about you

He growls and leans closer. A Faunus with a club battles one soldier, while Ilia fights two more with Lightning Lash. You knock another down before swinging at a second, nearby a horned Faunus was about to strike Ilia but you strucked him in the back of the head with the blunt end of the Axe. She smiles and you wink and continued to fight by her side. Hazel observes the situation in front of him but is then suddenly impaled by a white, glowing stinger.

He is then pulled back inside the building and sits up to see that Weiss has summoned a Queen Lancer flying above her. As she prepares to fight again, she gasps as she notices someone entering the building.

Yang and Ruby look back as well and gasp when they see Blake, her eyes widening as she sees all of her teammates in the same place.

Blake: Yang?

Yang stares back at her in disbelief, before her sister snaps her out of her trance.

Ruby: Yang! Go!

 Ruby points in the direction of the vault entrance

Yang nods and runs in and jumps down in.

(Back to you)

You then walk up to Cinder.

You: before you go

You hold up her hand and it starts glowing she flinches then gets real feeling to it and her left side was a little lighter. Her mask falls of getting both her eyes. She examines her now returned arm, feeling her face. She cries and hugs you tightly.

Cinder: thank you

She then retracted and goes to the edge and dives backwards in the dark chasam. Where she disappears. You then face Raven who was standing there clenching her side

You: open it

Raven nods and goes to the door

Raven faces the door then looks at you before sighing. She activates her Maiden powers again and begins the process to unlock the chamber. Eventually, the door opens up, and on the other side, a massive desert is shown with a path leading to the Relic of Knowledge, which rests on a stone pedestal. Before you and her could enter you tow heard Ember Celica and turns around to glare at her daughter landing behind her. Yang is shown doing a three-point landing pose and stands back up to face her mother

You: Yang

Yang then faces you rushes to you and hugs you tightly you hugged her back feeling her warmth.

Yang: don't ever do that again

You: I won't, I'm sorry.

Yang then looks up and faces her mother 

Yang: hello, mother.

(Meanwhile)

The battle between the White Fang and the Menagerie Faunus as well as the Mistral police force continues. One of the Mistral airships shines its searchlight on three White Fang soldiers.

Mistral Policeman: (Over P.A.) Cease fire, immediately!

The three try to run away, but they are stopped by a combined group of Menagerie Faunus and Mistral policemen led by Ilia. Eventually, two of the White Fang soldiers drop their weapons and hold their hands in the air to surrender when they are surrounded. The last White Fang soldier tries to fire his weapon, but it is whipped out of his hands by Lightning Lash and he is tackled to the ground by Ilia who restrains him.

Female Rabbit Faunus: (smiling) Thank you.

Ilia looks at the rabbit Faunus and smiles and nods back. Elsewhere, Blake Belladonna stands proudly over Adam Taurus, who was on his knees before standing back up.

Adam: (seething) I'm going to make you regret ever coming back...

Blake: More police are on their way, Adam. Huntsmen too.

Adam: (chuckling evilly) Still too afraid to face me on your own.

Blake: I'm here for Haven, not you.

Angered, Adam points Blush at Blake with Wilt in his left hand, while Blake draws Gambol Shroud.

Adam: Heh, you are still afraid, and you should be. I've made powerful friends while you've been away.

You: well I don't see them around 

You said with the axe you then Desmond it and summoned a sword with an orb in the middle

You then aim it at him

Adam: (pointing Wilt towards you) Tell me, does Blake make all of her classmates fight for her? Or the human ones

You: no, I fight by her side to end and back. For someone who claims to have such great allies, there doesn't seem to be a lot of people here willing to fight for you.

Adam looks around, seeing his followers surrendering to the overwhelming numbers of forces Blake brought with her, only proving your point right. A searchlight then shines down on him.

Blake: You can try and make me regret coming here, Adam, but honestly... I've got more important things to deal with.

Adam lets out a frustrated growl and swings his sword at you, but you counter his attacks by swinging swinging the sword. Adam then blocks Blake's sword swings as she comes at him, followed up by Adam getting knocked away by you. Adam bolts, with you giving chase. Adam runs away into the bushes and trees while you move to follow, but Blake calls out to you.

Blake: y/n, wait!

You: but Blake-

Blake: (sheathing her katana) No, we can't. He wants to lure us away so he can pick us off. We need to protect the school and the people here. Besides... now he can see what it feels like to run away. (smiling) Thank you.

You: I guess it would be time

But then your attention was drawn to the inside as everyone fights Hazel and Leo

You: they need us, come on

The two of you run before they could finish the fight. Back inside the Great Hall, Hazel Rainart launches fireballs from his fists with his fire-Dust enhanced arms at Weiss summoned Queen Lancer. The Lancer dodges out of the way of the blasts as Weiss fires at Hazel with her Glyphs.

Nora: I don't know how that big guy is still standing. He recharges his Aura faster than I've ever seen!

Octavia watches Quill fly in with his bird form, before transforming back into her usual self.

Quill: (grunting in pain) He's sheer willpower.

A blast lands near Octavia who quickly takes cover behind a nearby column.

Ozpina: We just need to get him to his limit!

The Queen Lancer summon is then shown firing projectiles at Leonardo Lionheart, who defends himself with Stalwart. He then knocks the summon away with a flame torrent coming from his weapon you then rush him with the blade. But he jumps back.

Hazel uses the opportunity to launch a combined fire and lightning attack which causes the Lancer summon to dissipate.

Weiss stares in shock as her summon disappears. Suddenly, Blake jumps in and kicks Hazel to the ground before jumping next to Weiss and Ruby Rose.

Blake: Are you hurt?

Weiss: N- No! I just remembered you being more of the quiet one.

You then swing the sword down at Leo who blocks the attack, you then push the sword down on the shield. The orb then came out, rolled down, until it's next to Leo and shot an aura at him, making him scream and clenching his side.

You: it's over Professor, you lost

Leonardo: you think I wanted this

You: you sided with her in your own fear

You then swung to the side but gets blocked by Leo

(Meanwhile)

Down in the vault, Yang Xiao Long faces Raven.

Raven: I warned you, Yang. I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Quill and Oz. So you can believe me when I say this wasn't personal.

Yang: (glaring) You opened the vault.

Raven: actually it was his say so

Yang: what

You: I may have been not myself, but I'm sticking to what I'm doing, taking the relic

Yang: your going to explain your plan after this

Yang then faces her mom

Yang: Quill and Oz told me how the Maiden powers are transferred. The girl you found... she would've had to have trusted you if you were in her final thoughts - cared about you a lot.

Raven: I'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed.

Yang: No, I'm starting to ask questions like you said. So tell me... what happened to the last Spring Maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness?

Raven: What does it matter to you?

Yang: (eyes widening) I can already see the answer. It's all over your face. How could you?!

Raven: She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for this world! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did--

Yang: (quoting her mother) "Wasn't personal."

Raven: It was mercy!

Yang: Which is it, mom? Are you merciful, or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into that trap because you knew I could handle it, or because it meant you could get what you wanted?!

Raven: It's not that simple. You don't know me, you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make!

Yang: You're right. I don't know you. I only know the Raven mom told me about. She was troubled, and complicated, but she fought for what she believed in, whether it was her team or her tribe!

Raven: you sound just like y/n when I captured him. Ranting about how I'm a coward and insecure 

Yang: let me guess. You knew it was true

Raven eyes widen and looks away, before turning back to face her daughter again.

Raven: I've stared death in the face over and over again! (in her anger, her Maiden powers activate) And every time I've spat in that face and survived, because I'm strong enough to do what others won't!!

Yang: Oh, shut up!! You don't know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself!! (she balls her hand into a fist which shakes before pointing at Raven) You might be powerful, but that doesn't make you strong.

Raven: (enraged) Who do you think you are, lecturing me?! Standing there, shaking like a scared little girl?!

Yang: Yeah, I'm scared. But I'm still standing here! (begins approaching Raven) I'm not like you, I won't run, which is why you're going to give me the Relic.

Raven: And why would I--

Yang: Because you're afraid of Salem!!! And if you thought having Maiden powers put a target on your back, imagine what she'll do when she finds out you have a Relic. (Raven turns away, seething) She'll come after you with everything she has. (Raven's expression then turns solemn) Or she can come after me. (Raven's eyes widen when she hears her daughter say that, before turning back to her.) And I'll be standing there, waiting for her.

After a tense moment, Raven deactivates her Maiden powers.

Raven: (somber) You don't want to do this, Yang.

Yang: Nope. But I'm gonna do it anyway.

You: and we're doing this together

Yang grabs your hand and walks forward, bumping her mother out of the way as she passes her. Raven looks down before turning to see her daughter approach the Relic chamber. A tear drips from Raven's eye.

Raven: I... (holding her arm as tears well up in her eyes) I'm sorry...

Tears well up in Yang's eyes as well.

Yang: Yeah... Me too.

They then hear the sound of her portal opening, cawing and then closing, and a single Raven feather flutters down 

You and Yang then proceeds forward and enters the Relic chamber. She approaches the Relic of Knowledge - an ornate, gold and cyan lamp - as it rests on the stone pedestal.

Yang grabs the Relic by its handle, and small, indistinct whispers can be heard when near it. Tears then stream from Yang's eyes, before she falls to her knees as she breaks down crying you then drop down with her and pat her back then hugged her.

You: let it out Yang, let all out.

(Meanwhile)

Back above ground, Lionheart bursts into his office and runs behind his desk, frantically opening drawers trying to look for something. Suddenly, he hears ominous clicking noises, and looks up to notice a Seer floating menacingly in front of his desk. A familiar voice comes from it.

Salem: And where might you be going?

Lionheart: (stammering) Uh, your grace! (nervously chuckling) I was just looking for something.

Salem: Leonardo, do you have something you wish to tell me?

Lionheart doesn't say anything for a bit, before telling Salem his response.

Lionheart: It was Cinder! She... Has betrayed you!

Salem was furious but still kept her calm demeanor 

Salem: she has finally dropped her act

Leo: Huntsmen showed up here! Quill! Several students, one with the Silver Eyes and the boy! The White Fang attack, it was stopped! (stammering) I don't know that they'll be able to recover the Relic... (beat) Your grace, I can still be of assistance!! If I leave now, I-- I can avoid the authorities and come find you, I'll do whatever it takes! (another beat) Your grace?

Out of options, Lionheart aims his weapon at the Seer, but it uses one of its tentacles to knock it off his wrist. Lionheart tries to run, but the Seer wraps one of its tentacles around Lionheart's ankle, causing him to trip and fall.

Lionheart: (begging pathetically) Please, ma'am! I'll do anything! I can still be useful!!

The Seer aims its sharp tentacles at Lionheart. He tries to crawl away, but more tentacles wrap around his body.

Lionheart: Please!! PLEEEAAASE!!!!

Despite his pleas, Lionheart is dragged towards the Seer offscreen. The sound of a stab can be heard.

Lionheart: (weakly) Please...

Lionheart's dying breath can be heard as another stab is heard as well.

In the Land of Darkness, Salem herself stares at the Seer in front of her on the table, leaning her head on her hand in disappointment.

Salem: Coward...

(Meanwhile with Cinder)

Cinder comes out of a cave squeezing water out of her dress 

Mercy: nice swim

She looks up and sees Mercy and Emerald with a smirk

Mercy: so it's a official, we are out of the group

Cinder: yes, but that means we're all targets now

Emerald: maybe when the coast is clear we can join y/n group 

Mercy: maybe, if he won't kill us

Cinder: he's back to normal now

Emerald: thank gods, so where should we go

Cinder: far from Salem, and we need someone else who might help.

(Later)

You and Yang ride the lift up. When you reached the surface your met with everyone sitting on the ground and Hazel nowhere in sight. Everyone noticed and gets up rushing to you

Ruby: y/n!

She hugs you tightly afraid of losing you again

Ruby: what happend to you, you just got up and you scared us when you did that

You: I wasn't myself, when I woke up. I wasn't in control. It was a self defense of sort

Weiss: well, don't ever do that again

Everyone gave you group hug and you sank into it

You: where's Emerald and Mercy

June: I don't know they got a message from there scrolls and just disappeared 

You: they left her side

Ozpina: they did, they did it because of you

You: yeah, I did

They then hear a door open from upstairs and the seer floats down getting all of you defensive. A black mist leaks out and takes the form of a woman with pale skin, red eyes and white crowning hair

She looks down on you and smiles. Then the tentacles shoot out and prick each of Team RWBY making them hold there wounds. The seer glows in each of there colours before flying of and the woman dissipated 

Blake: Wha-- what was that?

Ozpina: a seer mist. That was a message... From Salem.

(Meanwhile)

Cinder, Emerald and Mercy look on from a distance seeing the authorities coming in. They turn and go into the woods. Hazel in another area clenches his side and walks away and Adam looks down at his comrade from a tree before leaving

(Later)

Back at Haven, Blake sighs in relief now that the battle is over, before she hears the sounds of her parents run into the great hall. The Belladonnas share a hug together while you look on.

Kali: The police rounded up the remaining White Fang members. Haven is safe.

Ghira: Unfortunately, it appears that Adam escaped I'm sorry Eve.

Eve: don't be, he's not my brother. Not anymore

They all look down.

Ilia: It's okay. (walking into the building) He was the only one to escape tonight. Those in the White Fang that followed him? Won't support a leader that abandons his people. He won't have their help after this. He'll have no one at all. And the White Fang will be left divided.

Ghira: We've been fighting amongst ourselves for too long. Perhaps it's time for a new brotherhood. A new family for Faunus truly working towards a better world.

Kali: And they'll need a new leader.

Ghira nods in acknowledgement. You then turn to see your original coming to the clone. You two touch hands before the one with Blake disappears.

Meanwhile Blake slowly walks towards RWY nervously while you and her parents smile. Yang walks down the stairs and hands the Relic to her aunt.

Quill: What happened?

Yang: I don't know exactly. When I got down there, Cinder was gone, and Vernal was gone too.

Quill: And Raven?

Yang: Gone.

Quill: Well, we're all glad you're still here, firecracker. (placing an assuring hand on her shoulder)

Suddenly, Ruby groans and falls to her knees. Weiss catches her.

Weiss: Are you okay?

Ruby: (sighing) I feel like I should be asking you guys.

They both look up to see Blake approaching them along with you. Yang walks over and drops to her sister's side.

Ruby: So Blake, what're you doing here?

Blake: I... I was gonna ask you three the same thing.

Ruby, Weiss, and Yang, share glances with each other.

Ruby: That's... a looooong story.

Blake: Well... I'm not going anywhere.

You: and interesting for all of us.

Ruby: That's all that matters. (giggling) That we're all here together. Right?

Ruby looks to Yang as she says that. Blake briefly looks away with a sorrowful expression on her face. Yang looks up at her and smiles.

Yang: Yeah.

Blake looks back over to them and smiles. Weiss offers a hand out to her, and the cat Faunus eagerly joins in to Team RWBY's first group hug after a long time of being apart.

Yang grabs your arm and you join in the hug The five teammates embrace each other while their friends look on smiling. Quill, still holding the Relic, then approaches a panting Octavia, who is kneeling on the ground.

Qrow: I don't know how, but we did it, Oz. You okay?

Octavia: I'm alright.

Quill: Kid?

Octavia: She's resting. Too much energy fighting.

Quill: Hey, don't strain yourself!

Octavia: No! She had... a message... (taking a few more pants) We must... get the Lamp to... Atlas.

Octavia groans and falls, but Quill catches her. She lays the exhausted farm girl on the ground and looks over as Team RWBY finishes their embrace. Quill then stands back up, and looks to the Relic she holds in her hand. The lamp is seen glowing brightly as the indistinct whispers are heard again.

(Meanwhile)

In the land of darkness Salem was sitting at the head of the table until the seer floats in and shows its multi coloured orb. Making Salem smile

(Meanwhile)

Vernal was sitting on a tree branch examining her weapon until Raven Portal opens and Raven flies out and transforms into a human.

She stumbled and falls to her knees and cries clenching her face. Vernal jumps down and comes to her side

Vernal: Raven, are you alright.

Raven: no, Yang, she, she just said sorry and I said sorry to her and I just ran.

She then wipes her eyes and picks herself up and thinks of something.

Raven: I need to be somewhere. You stay here. I gotta do something

She summons another portal and passes through.

At the Rose/Xio Long house. Tia was cleaning the windows and Summer was with a broom busy sweeping away the leaves until Raven's portal opens. She steps out holding her arm. Summer drops her broom and Tia drops the cloth. The two run to her and don't know what to say. Summer held her mouth as tears were wailing in her eyes. Tia held her mouth open.

Raven: s-so how's it going 

Summer then runs to her and hugs her tightly surprising Raven.

Summer: we missed you.

Raven looks down and pat's her head and smiles. Then Vernal enters through the portal making Raven, Tia and Summer to look.

Raven: I thought I told you to wait

Vernal: I was cautious. Who are they?

Raven looks back at Summer and Tia with a smile

Raven: my family.

They then enter a group hug. Raven reunited with her real family
