*Belial's laugh can be heard*

No One's POV:

In the Land of Darkness at Salem's keep, Emerald is seen sitting on the floor while her partner Mercury is training around the room, throwing mock punches and kicks in the air.

(A/N: Salem's Domain's Training room.)

Emerald: I hate being kept in the dark like this...

Emerald mutters against her breath.

Mercury hears her, still doing his punch and kick routines. 

Mercury: Yeah, Cinder was a pain, but at least she kept us filled in.

Mercury said while continuing his training.

Emerald: Can I ask you something?

Mercury: You're gonna.

Emerald: Why did you come with us, the night Cinder and I found you?

Emerald ask.

Mercury: Why are you asking-

Emerald: Just answer the question!

Mercury: Just made sense.

Mercury answered, confusing Emerald.

Emerald: It... made sense?

Mercury: All my life, my father trained me to be a killer, an assassin like him. And then moments after I killed him, you two showed up looking for someone with my exact skills. Just felt like it was meant to be.

Emerald stared at the gray-haired lad incredulously at his response. 

Emerald: That's it?

Mercury, getting increasingly annoyed at Emerald's attitude, stops his sparring session and narrows his eyes at her. 

Mercury: Hey, what's your problem?

Emerald: I mean, there has to be something you want from this, right?

Mercury: Salem's promised us everything. We win this thing for her, we'll be top dogs in her new world. What more do you want?

Emerald: I just...Emerald sighs choosing her words thoughtfully.

Emerald: Cinder was the only family I ever had. She cared about me, taught me things... But without her here, I don't know if what we're doing-

Mercury: Wake up, already... 

Emerald looks at Mercury in shock upon hearing him cut her off.

Mercury: Cinder doesn't care about you! She doesn't care about either of us!

Emerald: You don't know what you're talking about!

Emerald angrily said.

Mercury: You're in denial.

Mercury said it so bluntly.

Mercury: And if you're gonna start having a crisis of identity or some crap... keep me out of it.

An incensed Emerald saw red and angrily jumps forward and starts to attack Mercury with punches and kicks, but he dodges each strike and catches her wrist.

Mercury: I'm sorry you didn't have a mommy that loved you, but I had a father who hated me!

Mercury shoves Emerald back a bit. She takes a defensive stance as he slowly approaches her.

Mercury: He never went easy on me! Every day of training was a beating. And when I unlocked my Semblance, he stole it with his!

He added.

Mercury throws a right jab and a roundhouse at Emerald, who dodges them, while he quotes his father's words. 

Mercury: 'This is a crutch!', 'This makes you weak!' He told me I could have it back when I was strong. So I got strong, but I never got it back! I've had to work harder than anyone to get where I am. You may not like it here without Cinder, but I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be!

He added more in until suddenly, the two hear familiar manic laughter off to the side. Tyrian steps out of the shadows, his new metallic scorpion tail now attached along with some metal plating on the side of his legs, sides and arms.

Tyrian: Oh yes, the world is mean, and I'm a big, bad man now just like the others.

Tyrian spoke in a mocking tone, before laughing maniacally again.

Mercury growls as he angrily walk over to the scorpion faunus. 

(A/N: Tyrian stepping out of the shadows.)

Mercury: How long have you been standing there?!

Tyrian: All you ever learned was pain and violence, and now you're too afraid to leave it. Such a tragedy.

Mercury: You don't know me!

Mercury shouted at the crazed faunus.

Tyrian slightly looks down in amusement. Mercury takes the opportunity to try and kick at him, but Tyrian simply crouches his upper body downward to dodge it and kicks him back. Tyrian then used his new appendages aka, his metal plating on his legs that transformed into four pairs of legs with claw-tips at the tip of its legs as its two front metallic legs connected to Tyrian's legs clamped on Mercury's limbs, holding him down to the ground, keeping his customized bladed tail at a short distance away from Mercury's face.

Mercury: Hey!

Tyrian: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. I want to tell you both a little secret. Your question is all wrong.

He chuckled.

Emerald: What?

Emerald inquired, confused at Tyrian's statement.

Tyrian: 'What do you want from this?' Children, please, if you're not loving what you're doing, then you're in the wrong field.

Emerald: So, what? Are you saying we should just leave?

She ask.

Tyrian gasps at this, almost mockingly. 

Tyrian: Oh no, no, no, no. You can't do that!

Mercury: Then what did you come here for?

Mercury asked.

Tyrian: To say farewell. There's been a change in plans. Her Grace must act swiftly if we are to prevail. If General Ironwood comes to his senses and calls upon aid from Vacuo, all may be lost for us! And so, the good doctor, the six-way con and I are being sent to Atlas... to prepare.

Emerald: Prepare for what?

Watts: Tyrian!

The three look to the end of the hallway leading into the room to find Watts standing far away with Caleb aka, SixStrike.

(A/N: Watts.)

(A/N: Caleb Ares SixStrike.)

Watts: It's time.

The Doctor said.

Tyrian steps off of Mercury, who gets back up on his feet while deactivating his metallic scorpion legs for armor and his bladed stinger, reverting back to its usual mechanical scorpion tail without its blade.

Tyrian: Do what makes you happy children... please? I'm begging you...

Tyrian said as he smiled evilly.

Soon, he held his new tail out threateningly, with purple liquid aka, venom dripping from the stinger's tip while walking away towards Watts and Caleb SixStrike, letting out a little chuckle.

Emerald and Mercury watched him leave with disgusted looks. While watching, Mercury suddenly hears a voice in his head.

??? (In Mercury's Mind): This, "Tyrian" person wastes no time, now does he?

Mercury: Huh?

Emerald: (Looks back at Mercury) Hmm? Mercury, you said something?

In Mercury's Mind,

Mercury (In his Mind): Hey! Who said that?!

Mercury demanded.

Then, an unruly laughter echoed in his thoughts, to Mercury's confusion and annoyance.

Mercury (In his Mind): Look, whoever you are! What happened just now caused me to be in a foul mood. So, if y-

??? (In Mercury's Mind): laughs You really should watch it, but seeing this is our first time talking like this, it is no surprise to me that people and aliens, such as yourself never had a telepathic conversation,... Mercurium Seijin.

The voice boomed.

Mercury looked around in shock as he stopped, knowing who is talking to him now.

Mercury (In his Mind): Wait... y-you'r-

Just as Mercury was about to finish, a red, black fog appeared before him when he swiftly turned for the last time after figuring who spoke up to him, to see a Dark ultra also known as Ultraman Belial appearing from the fog, revealing himself to him, wielding the Giga Battlenizer in his long sharp claws.

(A/N: Belial with Giga Battlenizer.)

Mercury (In his Mind): Y-Your Grace?!

Mercury exclaimed in shock, for Belial to nod.

Mercury (In his Mind): F-forgive me, your grace... I-

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Nevermind that. It's our first time talking to each other telepathically, after all. So, you're not at fault.

Mercury (In his Mind): Oh.

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Anyway, this Tyrian person...

Mercury (In his Mind): Yeah. He ain't just a freak now, but he's a psycho...

Mercury said.

Belial scoffs at this.

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Reminds me of one of my associates who decided to use my son's Ultra Capsules onto himself to overpower everything in his path...

Mercury (In his Mind): Oh yeah?

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Hmph! Yeah. He was like you, but different.

Mercury (In his Mind): I see.

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Anyway, that aside. Your task. Is it successful?

Belial ask.

Mercury sighs at the question, before answering.

Mercury (In his Mind): Emerald's... she's... it's-

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Complicating?

Mercury (In his Mind): Yes... well... in a way. In a way that I kind of... freaked out.

Mercury said, being honest to himself.

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): These are dark times, Mercurium Seijin. So, take your time. 

Belial said.

Mercury hangs his head down while nodding at his other Master's response. Then, he raised his head back up as he turned to his other Master.

Mercury (In his Mind): I assume, you're not just here to talk about Emerald, your Grace?

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Yes. That's not all. in fact, there is a mission I would like you do, which risks us getting found out.

Belial said.

Mercury (In his Mind): Say it. I want to know what that mission is.

Mercury said, for Belial to nod.

Belial (In Mercury's Mind): Very well, then. Here's your mission. Here's what you need to do;-

After a while and after getting the mission assigned by Belial, Mercury finally came to his senses to see Emerald shaking him to wake up, in which he did. Emerald lets his shoulders go, for Mercury to shake his head to clear his mind from his first ever telepathic conversation, to Emerald's worry.

Emerald: Mercury? Are you okay?

Emerald ask.

Mercury: Yeah... I'm fine.

Mercury answered, before leaving Emerald behind for her to have the room for herself. While leaving, Mercury noticed Jet Storm and Soundwave walking by, for him to have an idea as he quickly made his way to them.

(A/N: Jet Storm and Soundwave (A/N: Include the sword on Soundwave's hand. I have something in mind for Soundwave.).)

Mercury: Hey! Jet Storm! Soundwave!

Mercury called out.

Jet Storm and Soundwave heard Mercury called as they stopped to turn to him.

Jet Storm: Yes, Mercury? Is there something you need?

The Decepticon Leader ask.

Mercury: Well, you see... I... need a favor to ask you.

Mercury said in hesitation.

This made Jet Storm and Soundwave curious.

Jet Storm: Is that so? Well, let's hear what you have to say, then.

Meanwhile, back in Argus...

3rd Person's POV:

Jaune: Oscar!

Nora: Oscaaaaaaaaar?

The three members of Team JNPR and Saphron found themselves walking on the sidewalk at night, calling out for the missing incarnation of Professor Ozpin.

(A/N: JNR and Saphron looking for Oscar.)

Ren: This city is enormous. He could've gone anywhere.

Ren said.

Jaune: It's all my fault. I overreacted.

Jaune said and said to himself.

Saphron: I still don't really understand what happened. Was it about the mission?

Saphron ask.

Nora: It's... kinda hard to talk about.

Nora replied.

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.

Jaune said.

Saphron lingers behind while the three members of Team JNPR 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.

Saphron said before leaving.

The three then watch her leave before they look down sadly.

Nora: Hey, there's a café over there. Why don't we get something to warm up?

Nora suggested.

Jaune: I'm okay. You two go on ahead.

Jaune answers as he left to take a seat on a nearby bench, with his head down.

Nora and Ren walked up to Jaune, knowing something wasn't right.

Nora: You don't want anything?

She ask.

Jaune didn't say a word for Nora and Ren to look at each other, then look back at him.

Ren: We'll be right back.

Ren said.

Both Ren and Nora soon walk away, leaving Jaune alone with his head still down.

https://youtu.be/PIAicaV1EW0

(A/N: Music starts here.)

Then, a gust of wind blows and a dried-up maple leaf flies in front of him. The leaf then flies into a nearby park as he notice a sign that says; 'New Memorial Now Open' as he got up to follow it, knowing what it could mean. As soon as Jaune got to the place, his eyes widened as before him stood a statue of Pyrrha, with her head down, eyes closed and shield in her hands below her waist. He slowly approached the statue. Once reached, Jaune knelt down as he read the plaque with Pyrrha's symbol, read; 'In honor of Pyrrha Nikos, one of many students who fought valiantly at the Fall of Beacon'. Tears start to fall from Jaune's eyes as he began to look away for a moment. 

(A/N: Jaune enters the memorial and sees Statue of Pyrrha.)

After a while, he got up and began to walk away as he hear footsteps approaching.

???: It's really beautiful, isn't it?

??? 2: Indeed it is, mom... What do you think, Jaune?

A feminine voice and a familiar voice back in Mistral ask, causing Jaune to stop at his tracks due to the feminine and familiar voices sounding off and one to him as a question. He soon turned around to see Percival Nikos with his mom aka, Pyrrha's mom as they were seen holding a bouquet of flowers as she looked at the statue and for Percival to look at Jaune. 

Jaune: P-Percival?

Percival: Hey...

Jaune: ... hey... Your mom?

Percival: Mhm...

Jaune: I see... sorry, if I'm not modest at the moment.

Percival: It's alright. We understand.

Both Jaune and Percival greeted and spoke for a brief moment.

Then, Jaune and Percival looked at the statue once again with Percival's mom, in sorrow.

Jaune: Uh,... why here?

Jaune ask.

Mrs. Nikos: She trained here, Sanctum Academy. Everyone was crushed when she chose Beacon over Haven. No one wanted to see her go, but... it was where she wanted to be. I'm just glad she was surrounded by such amazing people.

Mrs. Nikos answered, for Percival to nod at his mother's answer.

(A/N: Pyrrha's Mom.)

Jaune looks to Mrs. Nikos and Percival, as he gets a surprised look on his face. 

Jaune: She should be standing here...He said as he looked down.

Percival: My sister is.

Jaune looked back at Percival and Mrs. Nikos.

Mrs. Nikos soon turned to face Jaune.

Mrs. Nikos: She understood that she had a responsibility... to try. I don't think she would regret her choice, because a Huntress would understand that there really wasn't a choice to make. And a Huntress is what she always wanted to be.

Mrs. Nikos continued.

Jaune turned to face Mrs. Nikos and Percival.

Jaune: Pyrrha never got the chance to graduate... But she was a Huntress.

Jaune said as he smiles.

Mrs. Nikos wipes a tear, for Percival to console his mother.

Mrs. Nikos: Thank you.

Jaune smile back at Percival and Mrs. Nikos. Then, both Percival and Jaune heard Ren calling for Jaune.

Ren: Jaune?

They look to see Ren and Nora searching for Jaune, while holding their coffee in their hands. They notice Jaune and walk over to him. Jaune turn around to see Mrs. Nikos and her son who's also his ally, Percival Nikos are gone and the only thing left are flowers left on the pedestal of the statue.

Nora: Jaune, why did you-

Nora stopped halfway, gasping as both she and Ren look up and notice the statue of Pyrrha.

(A/N: JNR looking at the statue.)

Jaune: I'm sorry. I've been a terrible Leader, and a terrible friend, and I-

Ren: Jaune, this has to stop.

Nora: We... heard what you said to Cinder, at Haven. You're not being fair to yourself. We love you, just like we loved Pyrrha. We're teammates, family.

Ren: We don't want to lose you, too.

Jaune looks back up to Pyrrha's statue.

Jaune: I think... I think she knew she wasn't going to win. That she might not come out alive. But... she also knew she was the only one that could try.

Ren: So she did.

Nora: Maybe we should, too.

Jaune: Yeah, we should.

Nora: Pyrrha may not be by our side anymore, but we can fight like she is.

Jaune: And in a way,... she will be.

Nora hands Jaune his drink.

Ren: We should check back in at the house. Come on.

Ren said.

Ren and Nora start to walk away as Jaune stayed for a bit, taking a last look at the Statue of Pyrrha.

Jaune: Thank you.

He said.

After saying his words, he walks away to meet up with Ren and Nora.

(A/N: Music ends here.)

TIMESKIP:

Ruby is seen looking down with a look of disapproval on her face, letting out a disappointed sigh at what she is seeing.

Yang: I've never seen him this bad.

Yang commented, staring at her dead-drunk of an uncle.

Ruby, along with the rest of her team and Maria, finds Qrow pass out on the stairs leading up to the house.

Ruby: Come on, let's get him up.

The two sisters grab their uncle's arms and sit him up. Qrow groans and rubs his eyes as he regains consciousness.

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?

Then, a set of footsteps are heard and they turn to see Jaune and his team, as well as Saphron and Terra, who is holding Adrian in her arm, walking towards them. The two mothers turn their attention at Qrow, still drunk.

(A/N: Jaune and his team, as well as Saphron and Terra, who is holding Adrian in her arm, walking towards Team RWBY and the drunk Qrow.)

Terra: I'm sure this looks great to the neighbors.

Terra sarcastically says, earning an elbow from her wife.

Jaune and his teammates walk up to the group, look of discontentment in their faces.

Ren: No luck?

Ren asked them.

Blake shook her head.

Blake: No, you?

Ren simply answered by a shake of his head.

Then, the rider crew, Team RNHK, JEWL, Apollonir and the others returned from their specific route to look for Oscar.

Yang: Anything?

Yang ask, only for each of them to shook their heads.

Jaune: Don't worry, we aren't going to Atlas without him.

Jaune reassured.

Ruby: 'We?'

The three Team JNPR members share a smile, the three of them still determined to see this whole thing through.

Jaune turns to her sister with sad smile.

Jaune: Sorry, we won't be staying.

Saphron merely smirks at his brother's words. 

Saphron: No you're not.

Terra: How about we get out of the cold?

Terra suggested.

As if on cue, the door to the house is heard opening. Everyone gasps in shock as a familiar voice is heard.

Oscar: Oh, hey guys! Was wondering when you were gonna come back.

Oscar said as he is seen donning a new outfit to see him wear an olive coat with shoulder pads and a belt both of dark red. Underneath, he wears a white collared shirt and bandages wrapped around the neck. His gloves are a slightly open U-shape with black X-pattern wrist straps. He also wears black trousers and red boots colored orange at the toe.

Oscar shyly waves at them. 

Oscar: Hey, guys...

(A/N: Oscar and his new outfit.)

Nora: OSCAR!!

Nora screams in joy as Oscar initially has a confused look on his face, and then one of comical terror as the students all leap forward and tackle hug him inside. 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?

Rachel: Have you been here this whole time?

Oscar: Uh...The rest of the group enters the house.

Saphron: Is something cooking?

Oscar: Oh yeah, I'd thought you guys might appreciate a hot meal after... spending all day looking for me, apparently.

Oscar said.

Jay: Are... you... SERIOUS!?!?!?!

Jay complained, only to get bitch slapped by Katie.

Jay: Thanks, was getting insane for a moment there...

Katie: Yeah right... but still, no problem.

Clancy: Now would be a good time to apologize.

Jaune: Right.

Clancy: Go for it.

Clancy said.

Jaune soon stepped forward.

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-

Oscar: No, it's okay. These part 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.

Oscar said.

Jaune: Good. This team isn't the same without you, Oscar.

Everyone smiled, when suddenly a smoke alarm goes off and Oscar freaks out.

Oscar: gasp The casserole!

Saphron giggles.

Saphron: We're on it, chef.

She says as she and Terra enters the kitchen.

Roland: The outfit suits you, Young Pine.

Tenka: Yeah, look good on you.

Roland and Tenka compliments.

Oscar: Heheh... Thanks.

As everyone enters to rest up and some to help out in the kitchen, Ruby and the members of Team STRM noticed Qrow walking up the stairs, for Ruby to follow him.

Ruby: Where are you going now?

Qrow: I don't want to get in the way of your celebration.

Ruby: You've been gone all day! Just sit with us.

Qrow sighs. 

Qrow: sighs 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 slightly raised his hand. 

Jaune: Actually, I think I have an idea. But... it's sort of a "no-going-back" kind of idea.

Rachel and Katie: Oh, boy...

Rachel and Katie muttered under their breaths, crossing their arms, but Tenka and Neon heard them, giving them a light elbow to the ribs.

Momotaros: Well!! Better something than nothing, I'd say. So, let's hear it. What's the plan?

Ruby: Well, let's hear it. 

Ruby nodded at Jaune.

Jaune: With Cordo on watch, only Atlas airships have the clearance to leave for Solitas. So... we... steal an Atlas airship.

Jaune nervously shrugs at his last statement.

Everyone gets shocked looks on their faces. Adrian, on the other hand, giggles in the old woman's arm.

Sieg: Looks like someone finds this funny.

Sieg stated, eyeing the little child, for Urataros to play with his cheeks playfully.

Weiss: That's not just breaking the law. That's...

Tenka: Yeah... that's like breaking a lot of rules a-

Kouta: That's definitely worse than that!

Weiss, Tenka and Kouta exclaimed (Weiss and Kouta) and tried to exclaim (Tenka).

Yang: And besides, how would we even get onto the airship?

Yang pointed out.

Jaune laughed nervously. 

Jaune: That part I haven't quite figured out yet. But I know I-

Qrow: Okay, stop.

Qrow interrupted, clearly aggravated. 

Qrow: 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. Look, for your sake, just drop this.

Everyone looks down with discouraged looks on their faces, having their spirits broken down. As Ruby notices this, she turns back to Qrow with a determined look on her face.

Ruby: I want to hear him out.

Qrow: Look, Ruby-

Ruby: I want to hear him out! I know that you're trying to protect us, that you don't think we can handle it, but right now, I don't care what you think, or what Tenka or Shadow's dad think!

(A/N: Ruby confronting Qrow.)

Qrow gains a shocked expression upon hearing this, while The Fire Elemental Warrior and Kamen Rider gaim looks amused at Ruby's assertiveness.

Qrow: Ruby, you d-

Tenka: YOU THINK I CARE WHAT YOU AND THOSE IDIOTS IN THIS HOUSE THINK?!?!?!?! YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!! points at Qrow YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!! points at Jay AND YOU ALL SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!! points at everyone in this room

Everyone taken aback at Tenka's rage.

Then, Tenka points at Qrow.

Tenka: I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! I COULD CARE LESS! YOU ALL CAN KISS MY ASS!!!! SO, QROW!!! IT GOES LIKE THIS, YOU'VE GOT TWO CHOICES, YOU EITHER HEAR JAUNE AND RUBY OUT ON WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY!!! OR I SWEAR TO OUM AND THE GODS,-

Tenka said as he took out his Kabuto-like Helmet (A/N: Not that Kamen Rider Kabuto that kind of kabuto. Kabuto as in the Samurai mask that I heard of.), meaning business.

Tenka: - YOU LOOK ME, DEAD IN MY EYES AND YOU KNOW I'M NOT A PERSON WHO'S PRON TO LYING, YOU, WILL PERSONALLY WATCH AS I STUFF A CAN OF WHOOP-ASS RIGHT SMACK ON YOUR FACE UNTIL YOU SEE YOURSELF TAKE A TRIP OUT OF THIS HOUSE ON A STRETCHER!!!! I CAN CARE LESS ON WHAT MY FATHER THINKS, BUT TRUST ME, QROW, I WILL IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!!!

Tenka continued and finished, shocking everyone in this room as no one has ever seen him rage like this before and it was certain to Ruby's teammates that his rage today was worse than the time when Blake declined being in the dance before back before the Fall of Beacon.

Then, Tenka walks back to the crowd, not before placing his hand on Ruby's shoulder.

Tenka: Ruby, if you will...

He said, for Ruby to nod as Tenka lets his hand off her shoulder and heads back to the crowd, for Ruby to continue.

Ruby: Anyway, 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 adults 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.

Qrow looks down sadly, for a moment he saw a glimpse of the late leader of his old Team, STRQ, in her honorary niece's face.

Maria laughs at Qrow's predicament. 

Maria: 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. While Ruby was looking back at Qrow, determined, Pallad realized something that there are two people missing.

Pallad: Uuuuh, hate to rain your parade but... I think we're missing someone.

Pallad said.

Everyone looked around upon hearing Pallad said that as they finally realized someone was missing.

Mitchell: Okay... yeah! Where's Shadow?!

Tenka: I thought it would be weird for Shadow not to step up but me! Doc?!?!

Ruby: Shadow?!

Hiro: That's not all.

Ruby: Huh?

Hiro: Where's Shido and percival??

Jaune: Oh, yeah! Percival is with his mom. I saw him earlier so,... he needs time as... you know.

Roland: I can tell the sorrow in your heart which connects to his heart, as well. So, I see...

Jaune: Yeah...

Hiro: Hmm... right, which leaves Shido now, so, where is he?

Ankh: Ugh...!!! You've gotta be kidding me... first Oscar, now the novice and the copycat novice for an ally? Gimme a break...

----MEANWHILE----

Somewhere off the grid and away from Argus,

https://youtu.be/_jhDOPuh5TI

(A/N: Music starts at 9:22.)

My POV:

After a while, the figure who turned out to be feminine with the said features donning Belial's robe reached the bottom of the steps as she took a threatening gaze at the two who ventured here, for her to smile, knowing that Belial's associate has done his work fruitfully, for Shido to notice Yuki smiling, knowing that Belial was the one who is actually smiling, too.

Shido: Your grace. I've brought him.

He said.

I looked at Shido and then at the girl donning Belial's robe, watching the girl nodding at Shido, then making her way towards me. Once in front of me, she stopped to look at me, for me to look at the girl.

Me: As I live and breath.... It's been a while... Belial. And your name?

I said to Belial and ask the girl who's also Belial.

???/Belial: Yuki. And of course, it has been a while, since our last encounter.

Yuki and Belial replied and said.

(A/N: Music ends here.)

See you on the next game! Stay lighted up! Stay Frosty! Stay Brave! Be Nice! SEE YA!!!!
