Ruby scours through the train wreckage and picks up dust bullets, before looking to see the Relic of Knowledge slightly buried in the snow nearby while  Yang was complaining as she struggles to get Bumblebee out of the snow.

"Great! This is just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party, and we've gained a defenseless old lady!" Yang said with one final heave manages to extricate Bumblebee, but falls over to the ground, with her motorcycle following suit  partially covered in snow.

"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. Okay, I'm starting to see your point." said Maria tapping  her prosthetics, which open wide and closes, before opening narrowly again.

"Yang, knock it off, will ya? If we lose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm." Qrow said with a grunt.

"Qrow is right we need to keep calm down." said  Y/n.

"Yes, you all need to be mindful of your feelings." said Revan appearing before all of them.

"Who are you?" asked Ruby.

"My name is Revan and like I said before we need to control their emotions and feelings for that can lead toward the dark side a path that only brings suffering and hardship." said Revan.

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

"Oh, and how could I forget about that? What happened to no more lies and half-truths?" asked Yang turning her attention to Oscar.

"Yeah, I think it's time we got an explanation..." said Oscar before his eyes glow and the control of his body  switched to Ozpin, who furrows his brow at Yang's accusations.

"I did not lie to you..." said Ozpin.

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

"Please, now is not the time." said Ozpin.

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

"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." said Ozpin.

"You know, I'm getting really tired of people choosing what's best for me." said Weiss.

"Is that why you chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?" asked Yang.

"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." replied Ozpin.

"Missteps?!" Yang asked.

"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." said Ozpin.

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

"Do you really think Leo was the first?!" Ozpin asked raising his voice at everyone.

"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 Where's the Relic?" Ozpin asked and suddenly realizes something.
