Yang: Salem can't be killed... you all heard her too, right?
Team RWBY, save for Y/n, 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.
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!
Y/n: And now you know how it feels to be in my shoes. *claps sarcastically*
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--
Maria: *slamming her cane* No buts! 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.
Everyone grabs their belongings and whatever Dust they can carry with them. Maria sits on Bumblebee as Yang walks her bike. Ruby 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.
Qrow: Don't lie to him, Ruby. *drinks from his flask* We're better than that...
Ruby and Oscar look down sadly before walking to join the others.

In the Land of Darkness, five Nevermores are perched on a rocky outcropping with large purple crystals. They fly away when an airship flies by them heading towards a large purple structure in the distance. The airship lowers down to an outcropping that serves as a dock, and Hazel Rainart, Mercury Black, and Emerald Sustrai hop out. As they proceed forward, they notice Tyrian Callows leaning against the entrance at the bottom of the stairs. His scorpion tail now has a spiked, metal tip covering it from where it was cut off.
