"Salem can't be killed... you all heard her right?" Yang says. You, still stunned by the knowledge dumped on you, knowledge Ozpin had his from everyone, say nothing in response.
"I—." Ozpin tries to speak.
"There was SO MUCH you hadn't told us." Yang yells.
"Professor?" He looks at Ruby.
"What is your plan to defeat Salem?" Even Ruby looks angry at this point.
"I— don't have one..."
"You're fucking with us, right?" You answer harshly.
"Y/n..."
"HRAAAGH!" Qrow punches him straight in the jaw, sending him into a nearby tree. You're shocked by the usually emotionally defunct 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."
"But... you are." Ozpin tries to reassure him.
"Meeting you... was the worst luck of my life."
No ones says anything.
"Maybe... maybe you're right." His eyes change again.
"Owww." Oscar returns holding his jaw.
"What happened?" Ruby asks him.
"He's... gone."
"THAT BASTARD! TELL HIM WE ARENT DONE YET!" Yang screams, her eyes a tinge of red.
"No he's... gone. It's like he locked himself in my head. Our head?" Oscar clutches his head. You look at him.
"I hate this, I want it to stop!" Everyone exerts a grunt of anger at Ozpin.
"Enough!" Maria yells.
"We need to leave here now, it'll be dark soon and every single one of you is spewing negativity. There's a trail over there, trails usually lead somewhere."
"Lady, I don't know who you think yo—!" She plants her cane firmly.
"No buts! We're moving. I'll be DAMNED if I lived this long just to die out here in the cold!"
"She really means business." You think in your head.
"She's right. Come on." Ruby states. You look over at Blake, she's still shocked from the information, she's also shivering.
"Come here." You urge her. She gets close and you use your Semblance to heat yourself to 150 degrees, warming her.
"Thank you." She nuzzles you.
"No problem kitten." You just realized you called her kitten.
"Did—did you just?"
"Yea, my bad."
"No, I kinda like it."
"Really?" You're shocked.
"Yea, it's cute." She has taken a liking to her literal pet name now.
"I thought trails lead somewhere lady?" Yang mocks.
"You don't have anything else to do other than harass a defenseless old lady?" Maria snarks back.
"Everyone quiet." You look at Ruby, then Blake, you see her cat ears perk up.
"Can anyone else hear that?"
"I did." Blake says. It's metal screeching? Like a gate maybe. As the group approaches the noise.
