Narrator's POV:

The back half of the Argus Limited is completely derailed, with the train cars crashed in the snow. Qrow, Oscar, and Team RWBYY all get back up.

Qrow: Is everyone okay?

Weiss: I'm fine.

Blake: Yeah.

(Y/N): Mentally or physical? Mmmm both, like shit. Thanks for asking!

Then, an unfamiliar voice is heard.

???: Still alive!

Everyone looks up and notices the elderly woman, stepping out from the train.

???: That sure was a close one, huh?

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. Yang can be heard complaining as she struggles to get Bumblebee out of the snow.

Yang: Great! This is just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party, and we've gained a defenseless old lady!

With one final heave, Yang manages to extricate Bumblebee, but falls over to the ground, with her motorcycle following suit as she's partially covered in snow. (Y/N) goes and helps Yang but Yang says that she doesn't need it and throws a snow ball at her which made (Y/N) annoyed.

(Y/N): Fuck you then!

Yang: Fuck me then!

(Y/N) looks at Yang with a glare and Yang smirks at her with her eyes red.

Maria: 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. (taps on her prosthetics, which open wide and close, before opening narrowly again.) Okay, I'm starting to see your point.

Qrow: (grunts) Yang, knock it off, will ya? If we lose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm.

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

Yang: Oh, and how could I forget about that? (turns to Oscar) What happened to no more lies and half truths?

Oscar: Yeah, I think it's time we got an explanation...

Oscar's eyes glow as control of his body is switched to Ozpin, who furrows his brow at Yang's accusations.

Ozpin: I did not lie to you...

(Y/N): That is complete bullshit!

Weiss: Exactly you certainly didn't tell us everything about the Relic.

Ozpin: Please, now is not the time.

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

(Y/N): I wonder how many more secrets your hiding...

Ozpin: It is certainly not like that at all, 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.

Weiss: You know, I'm getting real tired of people choosing what's best for me.

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

Ozpin: 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.

Yang: Missteps?!

(Y/N): Weiss almost got kill because of him you call that Missteps!!

Ozpin: 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.

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

Ozpin: (raising his voice) Do you really think Leo was the first?!

Everyone stops.

Ozpin: 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 I... (suddenly stops and realizes something) Where's the Relic?

Ruby: Right here. (holds it in her hands) It got scattered in the crash.

Ozpin: Please, hand it over.

Ozpin reaches his hand out, but Ruby hesitates.

Ruby: So all those times you talked about having faith in humanity, that was just for everyone else?

Ozpin: (sighs) That's not what I meant to suggest. Miss Rose, the Relic is a powerful item and I simply feel as though it is my burden to bear.

Ruby: But, you said it couldn't do anything right now.

Blake: Why does it matter who carries it?

Ozpin: I need you to listen to me--

Ozpin reaches his hand out, but suddenly is stopped, stuck in his position.

Qrow: Oz?

Oscar: (fighting back for control) Hurry... he's... trying to stop you!

Yang: Stop her from what?

Oscar: He's afraid... you'll find out what he's... hiding!

Oscar suddenly collapses, (Y/N), Yang, Weiss and Blake glare at the boy with intense looks while Ruby holds the Relic of Knowledge defensively.

Oscar: Her name is Jinn. Say her name to summon her.

Ruby: Her name?

The wind picks up much more gradually, blowing snow even harder. The Relic starts to glow in Ruby's hands.

Ruby: Jinn?

Suddenly, the snow stops, floating in midair. The wind stops blowing too.

Qrow: What?

Ruby then lets go of the Relic as it floats a short distance away, cyan smoke emanates from it. Suddenly, the lamp is enveloped in the smoke, and from it, a giant, semi-nude feminine figure emerges. He skin and hair colored blue, and decorated with gold jewelry and ornaments. The figure stretches and moans as she has been awakened once again. This is Jinn, the aforementioned being inhabiting the Relic of Knowledge.

Jinn: Wonderful.

Everyone stares in awe at Jinn.

Jinn: Tell me, what knowledge do you seek?
