Narrator's POV:

Jinn: I am Jinn, a being created by the God of Light to aid Humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. I've been graced with the ability to answer three questions every one hundred years. You're in luck, as I am still able to answer--

Ozpin: That's enough!

Everyone looks to Ozpin, who managed to regain control over Oscar's body.

Jinn: ... two questions this era.

Everyone is shocked, despite Ozpin telling them that the Relic won't work for them beforehand.

(Y/N): You lying little b-

Blake cover (Y/N)'s mouth before she could finish. (Y/N) looked at Blake who just shook her head no.

(Y/N):(growls) Fine

Jinn: (chuckles) It's a pleasure to see you again, old man.

Ozpin: Ruby, please... Don't.

Qrow glances to Ozpin, and steps forward.

Qrow: Hey.

Suddenly, Yang, Weiss, (Y/N), and Blake get defensive at Qrow. Ruby stares in disbelief.

Qrow: (relenting) Do whatever you think is right, kiddo.

Ruby: (pondering her question) Jinn?

Ruby turns around to face Jinn, who has a curious look on her face, while Ozpin grits his teeth in anger.

Ruby: What is Ozpin hiding from us?

Ozpin: NOOOOOOO!!

Ruby gasps and looks behind her. Ozpin lunges forward and is about to touch her, but suddenly, Ruby finds herself alone in a blank white space.

Ruby: Wha-- what? (Y/N)? Yang?

Ruby goes off screen, Yang comes from her position.

Yang: Blake? (Y/—

Yang goes off screen, and Weiss then appears, also calling out for their team leader.

Weiss: --by? Ruby? (Y/N)?

Weiss goes off screen, and Blake then appears.

Blake: Yang? (Y/N)?

Suddenly, an environment manifests, showing a path leading to a castle in the distance. A woman humming can be heard in the background.

Jinn: (narrating) Once upon a time, there stood a lonely tower...

Smoke envelops Blake, and Qrow appears where she was. He looks behind him.

Jinn: ...that sheltered a lonely girl.

A rather beautiful woman sitting in front of a mirror then appears. Ruby is seen walking up to her.

Jinn: Named... Salem.

(A/N): Okey le mega skip cause there's no way I'm writing the whole story of Salem and Ozpin's dysfunctional love.

(Y/N): You have to be kidding me!

Yang: Salem can't be killed... you all heard her too, right?

Team RWBYY all angrily glare at Ozpin, whose head is still down. He looks up, with tears streaming down his face. Qrow Branwen just looks away.

Ozpin: I--

Yang: (enraged) There was so much you hadn't told us! How could you think that was okay?!

Ozpin doesn't say anything, he just hangs his head back down in shame.

Ruby: Professor... (Ozpin looks up at her) What is your plan to defeat Salem?

Ozpin: I... don't have one...

(Y/N):(eyes turn purple) You know I would kill you if you were not bonded with Oscar!

Suddenly, Qrow punches Ozpin in the face, sending him into a nearby tree trunk.

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...

Ozpin: (tearfully) But, you are!

Qrow: Meeting you... was the worst luck of my life...

Ozpin stares back in disbelief upon hearing Qrow say that, before looking down dejected.

Ozpin: Maybe you're right...

Ozpin's eyes glow as control is transferred back to Oscar Pine. He holds his cheek in pain from the effects of Qrow's punch.

Ruby: What happened?

Oscar: He's... gone.

(Y/N): That coward!

Yang: Tell him we're not done yet!

Oscar: No, this is different. He's gone. It-- It's like he's locked himself deep inside my head. Our head? (grunts as he holds his head in pain) I hate this! I want it to stop!

Weiss: He just left us?

(Y/N): That- He- ugh!! Little bi-(whispers)

Blake: What are we gonna do now?

Yang growls in anger.

Maria: Enough! We need to get move on. It'll be dark before we know it, and every one of you is spewing negativity! (helps Oscar up with her cane) There's a trail over there, trails usually lead somewhere.

Yang: Lady, I don't know who you think you are but--

Maria: (slamming her cane) No buts! I understand that you're upset. Honestly, I'm still coming to terms with the fact that this is humanity's second time around. But, if we don't move, we die. And I'll be damned if I've lived this long just to die out here in the cold!

Ruby: She's right. Come on.

Everyone grabs their belongings and whatever Dust they can carry with them. Maria sits on Bumblebee as Yang walks her bike. Ruby walks over to Oscar and hands over the handle of his cane.

Oscar: (grabbing the cane) I'm just going to be another one of his lives, aren't I?

Ruby: (puts her hand on his) Of course not. You're your own person.

Qrow: Don't lie to him, Ruby. (drinks from his flask) We're better than that.

Ruby and Oscar look down sadly before walking to join the others.
