"Yang?" I said as I looked for my girlfriend that's when I saw her, my younger self and I realized when I was, and what my purpose here was. I tied the ribbon from Gambol Shroud around my head and made a makeshift mask. I walked over to myself calmly, "Sorry to bother you, but you look upset. Is everything alright?" I asked, "No, the White Fang are getting out of control. I just wanted to fix things, I wanted to be treated like an equal." she said, "We all want that, but I don't think the way the White Fang are doing things is right. Before when it was peaceful protests and boycotts it was alright, but now we need something new. It's why I became a huntress. I use my connections and influence in hopes that one day, I will make a real change in how people see Faunus." I said, "Can one person really do that? Change everything for the better?" she asked, "Yes, and no. I can only do so much, but with every person I save I can act more and more like a beacon of hope for others." I said, "A beacon?" she said, "Yeah, it's a slow process but I like it. I made lifelong bonds and even fell in love. I know my path is a long and winding road, but it's mine to walk. And hopefully, you can find your path, and find your own happiness." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder, "How do I know that what I choose is the right choice?" she asked, "You don't, you never will until after you choose. It won't be immediate, heck, it took me years to realize I made the right choice, and it took my friends to show me that it was the right choice. I don't regret a single thing I've chosen in my life. All my successes and failures they're all mine, and no one can take that from me." I said, "I should get back it's getting late. But thanks, I think I know what I'd like to do." she said before she left.

I walked around and found a good vantage point. I remembered my talk with a mysterious huntress, she gave me the push I needed to go to Beacon. I guess I wanted to watch what happens. That's when I saw them, those piercing red eyes full of hate. I emerged from my hiding spot and drew my weapon, "Who's first?" I said as an Ursa barreled toward me, I dodged with my semblance and beheaded it in a swift strike, and that's when two more rushed toward me, I dodged their attacks. I shifted my weapon into gun mode and threw it. I didn't want to draw attention, if at all possible, so I used the blade on the back to strike, and if the barrel was directly against the Grimm, I'd pull the trigger. I eventually killed the Grimm, but by then my younger self and Adam had already left to hijack the train. "She'll be alright, she's gonna end up in good hands." I said as I fired behind me killing six Beowulves before walking away and in a bright flash I found myself standing hand and hand with Yang over looking Vacuo.
