Lightning Strike: RWBY x OC

Volume 6 Chapter 2

Back in the house in Mistral.

Ruby: We need to take the relic to Atlas?

Qrow: That's what Oz said.

They turn to Weiss as she realizes what Qrow said.

Weiss: You've got to be joking?

Nora: I mean bright side. We finally get out of this house.

Weiss sighs.

Qrow: Well trust me. I'm not crazy about it either. And without the Spring Maiden here to seal the relic back in its vault, it's our best option.

Ren: Atlas may be the safest kingdom we have at the moment but their borders are closed. General Ironwood called everyone back.

Qrow: Eh not everyone.

Qrow opens his scroll to reveal a hologram. 

Qrow: The city of Argus is a ways north of us and it's the primary trading port between Anima and Solitas. They've got the largest Atlas military base outside of the kingdom. There's no way they'd leave it abandoned and if we play our cards right. I think there's a good chance we could convince them to escort us straight to Ironwood.

Blake: I mean we do have the missing Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.

Weiss: Ex-Heiress actually.

Yang: True, true. But if there's a chance of reward money I say we go for it.

Weiss lets out a frustrated sigh.

Onyx: It'll be alright Weiss.

Onyx shares a smile to Weiss, which happily gives back with her own.

Ozpin: Hopefully the first option will suffice.

Qrow: Glad to see you're feeling better.

Ozpin: Likewise, and while I'm sure we could use more time to recover. I'm afraid time is of the essence.

Blake: Right, as long as that thing's out in the open, its power could fall into the wrong hands.

Jaune: Speaking of, what does it do exactly? Qrow never really told us.

Everyone turns to Ozpin as he thinks for a moment before turning around to face them.

Ozpin: Of course.

Ozpin takes the relic from his hip and holds it out in front of him.

Ozpin: The relic of Knowledge has a wonderful, and incredibly dangerous ability. Its user can ask any question, and the lamp will provide an answer.

Ozpin places the Relic down, and it floats on the table.

Ren: (in awe) Intriguing...

Blake: That's incredible.

Ozpin: Indeed. However, it's not without drawbacks. The lamp cannot tell of events that have yet to happen, and it will only ever answer three questions every one hundred years.

Yang: Well, I guess that's not so bad. Adds a lot of pressure though.

Nora: Then let's put it to a vote! What should we ask first? oh! Can we ask for more questions? CAN WE ASK FOR MORE QUESTIONS?!

Ren: (face palming) They're not wishes...

Ozpin: (chuckles) I'm afraid you won't be able to ask it anything at the moment.
