The Kybuck Clan Volume VI (RWBY X Star Wars)

Chapter Three - Uncovered

After the train crash, the Kybuck Clan as well as Team RWBY, Qrow and Oscar took a moment to rest. However, Yang approaches Oscar in frustration. 

Yang: Great! This is just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party, and we've gained a defenseless old lady!

Katooni: I understand your frustration, but there's no need to take it out on her. She's done nothing wrong. 

Elderly Woman: No need, missy. My name is Maria Calavera, and I am not defenseless! I'm just a little hard of hearing. And blind without my eyes, that are in desperate need of repair.

Oscar: Yang, knock it off, will ya? If we lose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm.

Blake: Does that even matter? Apparently, we've been attracting Grimm ever since we left Haven.

Yang: Oh, and how could I forget about that? What happened to no more lies and half truths?

Oscar: Yeah, I think it's time we got an explanation...

As Oscar said that, Ozpin took control of his body. Once he does so, he addresses Yang's accusations.

Ozpin: I did not lie to you...

Weiss: Well you certainly didn't tell us everything about the Relic.

Ozpin: Please, now is not the time.

Yang: No, we're past that! I wanna know why you're still not telling us everything!

Ozpin: It is true that the Grimm are attracted to the Relics. It's faint, but undeniable. I believe it has to do with their origin, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, I feared that making you all aware would only add anxiety and negativity. It seemed like the safer option.

Weiss: You know, I'm getting real tired of people choosing what's best for me.

It soon became clear that the group became frustrated with Ozpin holding secrets from them. At that point, Katooni stepped in. 

Katooni: We can't do this right now! We have bigger problems at hand. 

Yang: Why am I not surprised you're siding with Ozpin? You kept your Jedi origins a secret from all of us!

Petro: For a good reason, Yang! If you knew what we had to go through, then maybe you wouldn't be so quick to judge! 

Yang: Is that why Ozpin chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?

Ozpin: Yes, as a matter of fact, I believed the Kingdom of Mistral deserved better than the truth. And I believed Leonardo deserved to be remembered for his lifetime of service, and not for the unfortunate missteps he made in his final years.

Yang: Missteps?!

Ozpin: What Professor Lionheart did was reprehensible. I am not here to argue differently, but does one lapse in judgment truly negate all of his good? Do we not all have regrets? You may have met Professor Lionheart, but you never met the man he was before Salem found him.

Yang: Look, we're supposed to be in this together. You can trust us! We're not gonna turn our backs on you.

Ozpin: Do you really think Leo was the first?! That he didn't say those exact same words to me? I'm sorry, but you have to understand that my behaviors are backed by experience. I'm not saying that I have reason to think you will betray me. I'm saying that I have reasons for the things that I do, the secrets I keep, the reason I...Where's the Relic?

Ruby: Right here. It got scattered in the crash.

Ozpin: Please, hand it over.

Ozpin reaches his hand out, but Ruby is hesitant to give him the Relic.

Ruby: So all those times you talked about having faith in humanity, that was just for everyone else?

Ozpin: That's not what I meant to suggest. Miss Rose, the Relic is a powerful item and I simply feel as though it is my burden to bear.

Katooni: The Jedi Order taught us that we are stronger as part of the Jedi Order than any of us could ever be alone. Ever since we arrived on Remnant, we worked together to survive. We survived not because of me or Petro or anyone else. We survived because we all worked together to get where we are. Ozpin, I understand your intentions, but we're all in this together. 

Ozpin: I need you to listen to me--

As Ozpin reaches out, he suddenly is stopped, stuck in his position.

Qrow: Oz?

Oscar: Hurry... he's... trying to stop you!

Yang: Stop her from what?

Oscar: He's afraid... you'll find out what he's... hiding!

Oscar suddenly collapses, causing Yang, Weiss and Blake to become defensive while Ruby clings to the Relic.

Oscar: Her name is Jinn. Say her name to summon her.

Ruby: Her name?

Suddenly, the wind begins to pick up. The Kybuck Clan then sense a disturbance in the Force. 

Ruby: Jinn?

Suddenly, the wind stops blowing. Everyone becomes confused. The disturbance becomes stronger and more apparent to the Kybuck Clan. However, this was not the Dark Side they felt nor was it the Light Side. It was as if they felt the Force itself. Ruby then lets go of the Relic as it floats a short distance away, cyan smoke emanates from it. Suddenly, the lamp is enveloped in the smoke, and from it, a giant, feminine figure emerges. Her skin and hair colored blue, and decorated with gold jewelry and ornaments. The figure stretches and moans as she has been awakened. The Jedi were in complete shock at the figure that stood before them. 

Jinn: Wonderful. Tell me, what knowledge do you seek?

In that moment, Jinn had been woken up. Ruby and the others now had a way to learn what Ozpin had been hiding from them.
