(3 days later, Krystal's POV)

The last fight of the day had just ended. Tomorrow will take place the last double rounds and possibly the one one finals. We returned to our room. Night crashed into his bed, letting out a sigh.

"The tournament is almost over and we still haven't been able to stop Cinder..." he complains.

"Yeah. And if she has to launch her assault, it's bound to be in the finals. There hasn't been any mishap since the start of the tournament, so nobody will expect it." Dragon told us as he sat down on his bed.

"The best way would be to find evidence to give Ozpin to stop Cinder." I told them.

"Except the only evidence we have is Night's memory. And that's not enough to make her arrested." Resare told me, who was lying on her bed.

"As a bonus, we have another problem." Night told us as he sat down. "With our little tricks, Cinder's watching us and she's going to expect us to interfere again." He tells us. We all sighed.

"Thanks for the bad news. Do you have another one?" Resare asks him unpleasantly.

"Yeah. If we believe Emerald, I'm Cinder's primary target. Must say I unmasked her, faced her in the communication room, and with Resare we humiliated her pawns." He tells us.

"Is she going to kill you?" I asked him worried.

"No. She'll be unmasked right away and her whole plan will be screwed up. Killing Night will provide Ozpin and Ironwood with sufficient evidence to get her arrested." Dragon answers me. I sigh in relief.

"So even if she wants to kill me, she won't be able to. We're stuck and so is she." Night told me.

"We put Cinder and her clique in check. More than proof to denounce her and it will be checkmate. We'll have won." Dragon tells us.

"Great! Thank you for lighting our lantern, Hercule Poirot!" Resare said to Dragon getting up from her bed. "But now, could you tell us how we'll find the proof?" She asks him.

"I don't know yet." He replied.

"In her Scroll, maybe?" Night tell us. We all watched him.

"Cinder was able to control the randomization process of the fights, so if we get hold of her Scroll, maybe we can find some evidences." Proposes Night. Dragon began to think.

"It's not that simple. Cinder is smart. She'll always keep her Scroll with her, and even if we do manage to take it, there must be a security key that locks the access. Like every Scrolls models." He tells us.

"And you don't know how to hack a Scroll, by any chance?" I asked him.

"Trust me, I wish I could, but I'm a computer noob." Ricane Dragon. "Her Scroll, it's not possible. We have to find something else." He said to us more seriously.

"We'll find a solution. Don't worry." I tell my team.


(During the night, Night's POV)

It was quite late. It must have been three in the morning, I believe. And as usual, I didn't sleep. Dragon was snoring a lot, as usual. I sigh and sit up. I grab my clothes and start getting dressed for a walk.

"Night? Are you going out?" Krystal asks me, drowsy.

"Yes. Don't worry, go back to sleep." I tell her while reassuring her. Krystal starts to fall asleep again and I turn to smoke and go through the window. I walk to the benches near the dining hall and lie down on one of them. I start to look at the stars when I hear a weird noise. I looked to my right and saw a crow staring at me from the back of the bench. It didn't make any noise, it didn't move. It was just staring at me.
