RWBY team COMBAT

Uncovered

(After the train fall everyone get their bearings 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. Yang can be heard complaining as she struggles to get Bumblebee out of the snow)

Yang: Great! This is just great! We lost a third of our party, and we've gained a defenseless old lady! That only good thing is the onslaught and his team have a ship.

(With one final heave, Yang manages to extricate Bumblebee, but falls over to the ground, with her motorcycle following suit as she's partially covered in snow)

Maria: 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. (taps on her prosthetics, which open wide and close, before opening narrowly again.) Okay, I'm starting to see your point. But you!

(She walk over to brawl)

Brawl:  Grandma wait.

Qrow: (grunts) 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? (turns to Oscar) What happened to no more lies.

Vortex: Or half truths?

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

Swindle: I too would like to know?

(Oscar's eyes glow as control of his body is switched to Ozpin, who furrows his brow at Yang's accusations)

Ozpin: I did not lie to you.

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

Blastoff: Yeah the Grimm can track it.

Onslaught: If you told us this me and my team could have taken it off your hand and fly it there so that way no one could get hurt.

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.

Vortex: Well I do see his point now we have a target on back would make it difficult.

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

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

Swindle: Even though he's a traitor!

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?!

Onslaught: Because of him we lost our friends at beacon.

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.

Onslaught: Yeah when you came for us and found our hide out you ask us to join your school!
