Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, Oscar, Jaune, Rem, Nora, Qrow and Arbiter stood with the Marines as Lord Hood stood in front of a memorial.

He removed his hat and spoke.

Lord Hood: For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget, those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure... Sacrafice. And unshakable conviction that their fight... Our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren. A memorial to heroes fallen. They enobeled all of us. And they shall not be forgotten.

He put his hat back on and saluted as Sgt Major Stacker shouted.

Stacker: Present arms!

A line of Marines raised their battle rifles and shot into the sky as Arbiter walked up to Lord Hood.

Lord Hood: I remember how this war started. What your kind did to mine. I can't forgive you... But you have my thanks. For standing by him to the end.

They shook hands.

Lord Hood: Its hard to believe he's dead.

Arbiter: We're it so easy...

The crowd dispanded and Arbiter walked up to a phantom. The phantom flew up to the Swords Of sanghelios carrier where Arbiter entered to see Rtas looking at a diagram of the planet.

Rtas: Things look different. Without the relics or Ozpin and Salem. I would like our kind find it's own place. So it could be safe.

Arbiter: Fear not, for we have made it so.

Rtas: By your word Arbiter.

Arbiter walked up and sat on the bridge seat of the carrier.

Arbiter: Take us home.

The ship flew away as the view was brought onto the memorial.

In defence of remnant
and her citizens.
March 17th 0000NYT

The scene finally settled on a Picture of Team CRSD with (Y/N) and Selena kissing.

Location:???

Cortana: Chief? Can you hear me?

You turned your helmet light on and illuminated your surroundings.

Cortana: I thought I'd lost you too.

You moved around slowly to the cut off section of the dawn as you reached for your assault rifle and grabbed it.

(Y/N): What happened?

Cortana: I'm not sure.

You placed your Assault rifle on your back and looked out into space.

Cortana: When the relics came together, Remnant shook itself to pieces. The portal couldn't sustain itself. We made it through just as it collapsed. Well... Some of us made it.

You made your way back through the ship and made it to an AI terminal.

Cortana: But you did it... Atriox and the Banished, The flood. Its finished.

You plugged Cortana into the terminal and turned your helmet lights off.

(Y/N): Its finished.

You put your Assault rifle in the weapon rack of the cryo freezing pod.

Cortana: I'll drop a beacon. But it'll be a while before anyone finds us... Years even.

You got into the cryo pod.

Cortana: I'll miss you.

The door to the pod shut.

(Y/N): Wake me. When you need me.

You lay your head back and your body got frozen.

8 Years later

Location: Erde Tyrene. Pine Homestead.

Kid: Mum! Dad! Come on!

Oscar: We're coming Saphire.

Ruby: She's so energetic...

Oscar: She gets that from you.

Oscar and Ruby laughed as Saphire turned on the news to see a newscaster talking about an asteroid.

Ruby: You've been interested in that asteroid for too long.

Saphire: It could be uncle (Y/N)! Dad said it himself that no-one could confirm that he died!

Suddenly the newscaster said something that caught their attention.

Newscaster: However there have been strange signals coming from what we no longer believe to be an asteroid. Here have a listen for yourself.

A familiar voice came onto the news.

Cortana: Mayday Mayday Mayday. This is FFG201. Forward Unto Dawn requesting immediate Evac. Survivors aboard.

The recording cut off as Oscar and Ruby looked up in shock and Ruby s scroll began to ring. She looked at it and it was from Yang. She picked the scroll up and answered it.

The End.
