The Pelican flew evading the Atlas Bullhead's assaulting it as a dark mist approached with a yellow light.

Foehammer: We're caught in a bottle neck! All those Bullhead's behind us and that massive grimm in front of us!

Cortana: Head for the Grimm!

Vaughan: Are you mad?!

Cortana: Trust me.

You looked over at Oscar who still sat unconscious.

Gruss: He'll live. But some things wrong... Its like there are two souls fighting to stay away from eachother.

Sparks: Souls? Since when were you a spiritual wanderer?

Quinn: He's talking about the two different auras in his body.

Turpin: How is that even possible?

Grimm suddenly flew past the Pelican and avoided it, heading straight for the Bullhead's and destroying them.

Foehammer: I never thought I would be happy to see grimm.

Oscar slowly woke up.

Oscar: Ow... What happened?

Gruss: You've been unconscious for half an hour.

A landing pad came into view on the massive grimm.

(Y/N): Set us down.

Vaughan: You really are mad...

(Y/N): Trust me.

The Pelican landed on the pad.

(Y/N): Oscar come with me.

Vaughan: Where are you going?

(Y/N): To make a new ally. The rest of you guard the Pelican.

You and Oscar exited the Pelican and walked into the massive grimm.

(Y/N): We might need Ozpin for this...

Oscar: What exactly are we doing?

Cortana: Getting Salems help.

Oscar: What?! Straight after what happened down at the house of reckoning?!

(Y/N): This is the best chance we have.

Oscar relieved control to Ozpin.

Ozpin: I know what I have to do... But if Salem will forgive me for trying to leave her that day...

You both reached a door that opened to reveal Hazel, Mercury and Emerald.

Mercury: Look what the fox dragged in. Two relics and Ozpin...

(Y/N): We're not here to fight. But to negotiate.

Hazel: Why should we let you? He deserves this.

Ozpin: I know I do but not the civilians who live here on Remnant. I'm sorry about what happened to your sister Hazel-

Hazel: Sorry won't bring her back!

Ozpin: I know, but you have a chance to do good by her and make a choice that could help save Remnant.

Hazel: Save remnant from what? Salem?

Ozpin: The flood. Extinction.

Hazel stood back and thought to himself.

Emerald: Cinder wouldn't want us to let them-

(Y/N): Cinder is dead.

Emerald: What? No, no, no...

(Y/N): She left me no other choice.

Emerald fell down clutching her head.

Mercury: Em? Em!

He placed his arms on her shoulders as he spoke.

Mercury: Em, Cinder didn't care for us.

Hazel: You two go in. I'll help calm down Emerald.

You and Ozpin entered Salem's throne room to see her sitting.

Salem: Oh my long lost Ozma... Returned to me at last.

Ozpin: Salem... I... I'm sorry...

Salem stood back shocked.

Salem: Sorry?

Ozpin: For trying to leave. I deemed you unsavable and chose to abandon you. I'm sorry.

Salem looked conflicted at Ozpin's words.

Ozpin: There is a chance we could work together and save remnant.

Salem: And how is that?

(Y/N): The goddess of compassion is creating five arks to ferry all who board them away from remnant to a new world. All we have to do is bring the relics to the location under Beacon and she'll weaken her brothers to help us defeat them. There both your curse and Ozpins curse will be lifted and you both can die in peace.

Salem: And what makes you think this is possible? I tried to pull one over on the brothers and failed.

(Y/N): That was without the help of The goddess. You don't have to live the rest of your life in pain.

Salem looked down before looking up with a smile.

Timeskip

You and Ozpin walked back to the Pelican.

Vaughan: Well?

Cortana: Let's go.

You all boarded the Pelican and it took off.

Foehammer: Where to Cortana?

Cortana: To amity. Time to leave a message to Remnant.
