Ruby scours through the train wreckage and picks up dust bullets, before looking to see the Relic of Knowledge slightly buried in the snow nearby as Yang was complaining as she struggles to get Bumblebee out of the snow.

"Great! This is just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party, and we've gained a defenseless old lady!" Yang said with one final heave manages to extricate Bumblebee, but falls over to the ground, with her motorcycle following suit as she's partially covered in snow.

"My name is Maria Calavera, and I am not defenseless! I'm just a little hard of hearing. And blind without my eyes, that are in desperate need of repair. Okay, I'm starting to see your point." Maria said as she taps her prosthetics, which open wide and closes, before opening narrowly again.

"Yang, knock it off, will ya? If we lose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm." Qrow said with a grunt.

"Qrow is right we need to keep calm down." Y/n said

"Yes, you all need to be mindful of your feelings." Revan said as he appeared before all of them as Revan introduced himself to the group and told them to control their emotions and feelings for that can lead toward the dark side a path that only brings suffering and hardship.

"Does that even matter? Apparently, we've been attracting Grimm ever since we left Haven." Blake said.

"Oh, and how could I forget about that? What happened to no more lies and half-truths?" Yang asked as she turns her attention to Oscar

"Yeah, I think it's time we got an explanation..." Oscar said as his eyes glow as control of his body is switched to Ozpin, who furrows his brow at Yang's accusations.

"I did not lie to you..." Ozpin said

"Well you certainly didn't tell us everything about the Relic." Weiss said

"Please, now is not the time." Ozpin said.

"No, we're past that! I wanna know why you're still not telling us everything!" Yang said

"It is true that the Grimm are attracted to the Relics. It's faint, but undeniable. I believe it has to do with their origin, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, I feared that making you all aware would only add anxiety and negativity. It seemed like the safer option." Ozpin said

"You know, I'm getting really tired of people choosing what's best for me." Weiss said

"Is that why you chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?" Yang asked

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I believed the Kingdom of Mistral deserved better than the truth. And I believed Leonardo deserved to be remembered for his lifetime of service, and not for the unfortunate missteps he made in his final years." Ozpin replied

"Missteps?!" Yang asked.

"What Professor Lionheart did was reprehensible. I am not here to argue differently, but does one lapse in judgment truly negate all of his good? Do we not all have regrets? You may have met Professor Lionheart, but you never met the man he was before Salem found him." Ozpin said.

"Look, we're supposed to be in this together. You can trust us! We're not gonna turn our backs on you." Yang said.

"Do you really think Leo was the first?!" Ozpin said raising his voice as everyone stops.

"That he didn't say those exact same words to me? I'm sorry, but you have to understand that my behaviors are backed by experience. I'm not saying that I have reason to think you will betray me. I'm saying that I have reasons for the things that I do, the secrets I keep, the reason Where's the Relic?" Ozpin asked as he suddenly realizes something
