RWBY x Destiny crossover Volume 6 (Path Between Roads)

Chapter 5

Kai's person POV

We were all shocked of knowing Salem can't be stoped it killed. I looked at Ozpin.

Yang: Salem can't be killed... you all heard her too, right?

Star: Just great, more plot twist for us.

Team RWBY all angrily glare at Ozpin, whose head is still down. He looks up, with tears streaming down his face. Qrow Branwen just looks away.

Ozpin: I--

Yang: *enraged* There was so much you hadn't told us! How could you think that was okay?!

Oz doesn't say anything, he just hangs his head back down in shame.

Ruby: Professor... *Oz looks up at her* What is your plan to defeat Salem?

Ozpin: I... don't have one...

Suddenly, Qrow punches Ozpin in the face, sending him into a nearby tree trunk.

Star: Hey, I wanted to punch him!

Qrow: No one wanted me... I was cursed... I gave my life to you because you gave me a place in this world... I thought I was finally doing some good...

Ozpin: *tearfully* But, you are!

Qrow: Meeting you... was the worst luck of my life...

Oz stares back in disbelief upon hearing Qrow say that, before looking down dejected.

Ozpin: Maybe you're right...

Ozpin's eyes glow as control is transferred back to Oscar Pine. He holds his cheek in pain from the effects of Qrow's punch.

Ruby: What happened?

Oscar: He's... gone.

Yang: That bastard! Tell him we're not done yet!

Oscar: No, this is different. He's gone. It-- It's like he's locked himself deep inside my head. Our head? *grunts as he holds his head in pain* I hate this! I want it to stop!

Weiss: He just left us?

Blake: What are we gonna do now?

Yang growls in anger.

Maria: Enough! We need to get move on. It'll be dark before we know it, and every one of you is spewing negativity! *helps Oscar up with her cane* There's a trail over there, trails usually lead somewhere.

Yang: Lady, I don't know who you think you are but--

Kai: Yang!!!

She widen her eyes when I scream at her.

Kai: Maybe is best you shut up and listen to her.

Maria: Thank you. I understand that you're upset. Honestly, I'm still coming to terms with the fact that this is humanity's second time around. But, if we don't move, we die. And I'll be damned if I've lived this long just to die out here in the cold!

Ruby: She's right. Come on.

We grabbed our belongings and whatever Dust they can carry with us. Maria sits on Bumblebee as Yang walks her bike. Ruby and Star walks over to Oscar and hands over the handle of his cane.

Oscar: *grabbing the cane* I'm just going to be another one of his lives, aren't I?

Ruby: *puts her hand on his* Of course not. You're your own person.

Star: You're not a pawn Oscar.

Qrow: Don't lie to him, Ruby. *drinks from his flask* We're better than that...
