Nora and Ren were all watching Midas as he sat on the edge of the cliff. Midas clinched his hand into a fist a worried Jaune walks towards Nora and Ren and stands next to them.

Jaune: What happened to him?

Ren: Weiss father forced her to go home.

Nora: And when he found out Zion was dead. It broke his heart:

Jaune: Oh god.

Ren: None of us can even imagine his pain.

Jaune: But I can.
Jaune starts to walk towards Midas Ren was about to stop him but Nora grabbed his arm.

Jaune: Hey.
Midas looked back to see Jaune then he looks back down.

Jaune: Do you mind if I sit next to you.
Midas didn't say a word but he moved over a little bit so Jaune could sit next to him. And Jaune did just that.

Jaune: Midas I just wanted to say that—

Midas: Your sorry for me my lost. Yeah everyone's been telling me that.

Jaune: I know. But I just want you to know that. I know what your going through and—

Midas: You do? Because I pretty much doubt it.
Jaune looked at Midas for a bit then looked down.

Midas: I'm sorry. It's just. Really hard right now. I lost my best friend. And the love my life. I know he was your friend too.

Jaune: Yeah. He was a great guy. Knew when to help people and had a heart gold. And learned to forgive people. Even when they didn't deserve it.
Midas smiles thinking about him.

Midas: Yeah.

Jaune: I hope I can make them both proud.
Midas then looks at Jaune confused.

Midas: Both?

Jaune: Yeah Zion and Pyrrha.
Midas eyes widened hearing this.

Midas: What?

Jaune: They didn't tell you. Pyrrha died during the fall of beacon. She tried to fight Cinder and died at the tower.
Midas looks down looking at his hands as tears start to drop at his hand.

Midas: This is my fault.

Jaune: No it's not.

Midas: If only I was stronger against Ghidorah if only I—

Jaune: It's not your fault.

Midas: It is my fault!

Jaune: No it's not.
Jaune then hugs Midas as Midas hugs back and starts crying again letting out all of tears and Jaune starts to cry to.

Jaune: It's not your fault.

Meanwhile In Ruby's room Ruby is asleep in her bed when she starts to wake up to see her dad Tai sleeping on a chair she gets up and Yawns and Tai walks up to her and crouches.

Tai: Ruby your awake!

Ruby: What happened?

Tai: Your Uncle Qrow found you. Unconscious he got you out of here though he got you home safe.

Ruby: Wait Yang! Is she alright?!

Tai: She's Uh... She's going to be alright. I thinks it's just. Going to take her time to get use to things. She's too strong to let this stop her. I'm just glade to have my girls back home.

Ruby: What about to the school!? And vale where they able to clear out the grim?

Tai: Things in vale are under control. But the school. It's not that simple.
He then gets up and kisses her on the forehead.

Tai: I love you. I'll go make us some tea.
He walks off Ruby looks down but then thinks of Yang. She gets out of bed to go to Yangs room she opens the door to see Yang laying in bed looking out of the window.

Ruby: Yang.

Yang: Ruby.
Ruby turns around to see Yang look at her Ruby runs towards her and Hugs her.

Ruby: I'm so glad you're ok.

Yang: But I'm not.
Ruby then released the Hug.

Yang: It's all gone. The School Penny Pyrrha and.

Ruby: Yang where is Weiss and Blake?

Yang: Weiss father. Came for her.

Ruby: What. What do you mean?

Yang: No one outside of Vale knows what happened. Before the tower fell the last thing people saw was Atlas drones attacking innocent people and Grimm destroying the city. People are scared no one knows who to trust anymore. So Weiss's father came to take her back to Atlas. Where he thinks it's safe. She's gone

Ruby: But what about—

Yang: And Blake ran! Sun saw her go. After he got to the city. She just... Ran.

Ruby: But why?

Yang: I don't know. And I don't care.

Ruby: Where's Midas.

Yang: He's staying with us. He didn't want to go back to his parents.

Ruby: And Zion?
Yangs eyes widened as she looks at the window.

Ruby: Yang please I need to know—

Yang: HE'S DEAD!
Ruby eyes widened.

Yang: Nobody saw his body but when he was falling back into Remnant atmosphere he created a huge explosion in the water and there saying that no one could survive that fall not even him in his form! He's gone Ruby!
Yang then realized what she did as Ruby steps back tears falling down her face and she dashes into her room and cry's

Few minutes later Qrow walks in to see Ruby asleep on her bed with her scroll on and it had a picture of him and Ruby Qrow sighs as he taps her awake Ruby wakes up to see Qrow.

Ruby: Uncle Qrow.

Qrow: Hey kiddo. I guess you know what happened to fire breath huh.

Ruby: Yeah.

Qrow: Hey I hope you know that his sacrifice was not in vain. He saved us if not all of remnant.

Ruby: I know but...
Tears start to fall onto the beds blankets.

Ruby: At what cost. I lost someone dear to me. First mom then Penny then Pyrrha and now Zion. So Many people I love are dying around me and.
Qrow then hugs her and she hugs back. Then when they release the hug Qrow remembered something.

Qrow: Hey kiddo I just there's something I wanted to give you.
Qrow then takes out the key Zion gave him.

Ruby: What is that?

Qrow: It's something Zion gave me before he... you know. I think he knew he was going to die. So he wanted me to give you this.

Ruby: Why?

Qrow: I don't know. But maybe he wanted you to have it so you won't give up on hope. And that he will always be with you.
Ruby smiles as she grabs the key and puts it onto her chest.

Qrow: You know you're special kid. And in more ways then one.

Ruby: How?

With Tai he finished making tea and he sees Midas sitting on the couch he then walks towards him.

Tai: Wants some tea.

Midas: Naw I'm good.
Tai sighs but then remembers something.

Tai: You know there's a way to get to Atlas.
Midas then looks at Tai.

Midas: Don't give me false hope.

Tai: It's not. There are some Atlas airships going to Atlas and transferring some items there. you'll just have to sneak your way in there.

Midas: Why are you telling me this.

Tai: Well Qrow and Yang had told me how you two love each. And that feeling is strong. And if that happened to Summer I would do anything I can to find her and bring her back. And I want to help you achieve that.
Tai then puts a small peace of paper next to him.

Tai: Just be careful young man.
Midas then grabs it and opens it and it says which town they'll be at and Midas is now determined to bring Weiss back.
