~Mistral~

As the full moon shines over the night, Qrow, RNJR, Terry, and Aaron make their way to Haven Academy.

"You three are back up incase something goes wrong." Aaron said to Penny, Summer, and Pyrrha.

All three nodded as they disappeared.

Ruby stops as she watches the group walk by before glancing up at their cracked moon.

Inside, the group glanced up to see Professor Lionheart waiting for them.

"Ah, you came and you have more as well. You also brought your weapons to." Leo said hesitantly.

"Duh, we are Huntsmen." Terry replied, earning a smack from Yang.

"Of course! Of course, sorry. Just haven't had my evening coffee." Leo shakily said

"Look, it's nice to see you, but we got work to do. Are we getting support from the council or not?" Qrow asked.

Yang's eyes began to wander the large building before a familiar feathered bird caught her eye.

"Mom?" Yang called out as the bird fluttered away from buckshot thanks to Qrow.

Everyone turns to see the bird fly down behind the old headmaster and transform in Raven, her mask on.

"Of course it'd be her." Aaron and Terry growled as Harbinger transformed back into it's sword.

"Raven..." Ruby whispered.

"They... they really are magic..." Nora's eyes widened in fear.

"If you're going to shoot me, shoot me. That was insulting." Raven mocked, removing her helmet.

"That can be arranged." Aaron snapped as he aimed Massacre towards Raven before Yang stopped him.

"What are you doing here?!" Qrow demanded.

"I could ask you the same thing. You've been scheming, little brother. Planning to attack your own sister." Raven replied, walking down the stairs.

"Leo... what have you done?!"

"I..." The headmaster's words were caught in his throat.

"Leo did what any sane person would in his position - he looked at all the information he had in front of him, assessed the situation, and made a choice. And it seems you all have too." Raven pointed out.

"You have the Spring Maiden."

"I do."

"Then hand her over and let's work together! We can beat Salem!" Qrow shouted.

"All that time spent spying for Ozpin and you still have no idea what you're dealing with. There is no beating Salem!" Raven retorted.

"You're wrong. We've done things that most people would call impossible, and I know the only reason we were able to do it is because we didn't do it alone! We had people to teach us, people to help us, we had each other. Work with us. At least I know we'll have a better chance if we try together. Please." Ruby begged holding her hand out. Raven glares at it.

"You sound just like your mother." Raven sighed before cutting a portal open as a fireball flew past the brunette and slammed into Ruby, knocking the young scythe wielder back.

Emerging from the portal, Cinder, Emerald, Mercury exited.

"Hello boys and girls." Cinder grinned before bandits exit the portal along with Vernal.

"Talk about a party." Terry muttered, pulling out his twin pistols.

"Are they safe?" Raven whispered to her lieutenant.
