Yue POV:

I hold on to Y/N as she continues to sleep peacefully while Maria tells us the story of her past.

She told us how she fought against three men and a Crocodile Faunus that ended up blinding her as she barely survived the encounter.

Maria: She told me that she respected that I was a fighter till the very end.

Maria: But I wasn't... I went into hiding soon after.

Qrow: I can't believe it. You... You're the Grimm Reaper, you were a legend! And then you disappeared...

Oscar: How exactly does a legend just disappear?

Qrow: You never used your name, never showed your face. Lots of us thought you were just layin' low.

Qrow: Eventually, we just came to accept that you were probably dead. But the stories about you, I based my weapon off of yours.

Qrow: I wanted to be as good as the Grimm Reaper.

Maria: Well, I'm nothing but a disappointment, so you're well on your way.

Blake: How can you say that?

Maria: Child, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end.

Maria: But after I lost my eyes, I only ever looked after myself. Even after my surgery, I was too afraid to fight.

Maria: Afraid someone would find me again, finish what the others started.

Maria: You shouldn't aspire to be like me, especially when some of you are clearly stronger already.

As she looks at Yang and Y/N.

Ruby: Well, maybe you can do something now. Teach me to use my powers the way you did.

Suddenly we all her a scroll ringing.

Ruby: It's Jaune!

Weiss: How?

Ruby: (answering her Scroll) Uh, hello?

Jaune: Ruby! Oh, thank you! I've been checking my Scroll for your signal since we made it to the city!

Ruby: The city? Wait...

We continue moving forward until we see the city over the hill.
