Y/N P.O.V.
We're in the interior of the Belladonna Home. Ghira, wearing glasses, paces back and forth looking at a piece of paper in his hands while Kali, Velvet, Blake, and I all wait for him to be ready. Ghira then stops pacing and takes one last look at the speech he has written down, before sighing as his wife places a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Are you ready?" Ghira sighs.
"Yes. It won't be easy for the people to hear, but the truth often isn't. I know they'll do the right thing."
Blake then comes up and places a hand on her father's arm, giving an affectionate snuggle. Suddenly, the three are taken by surprise when I pat my hand on Ghira's back. He looks behind to see me.
"You'll do well, I promise."
Ghira then opens the doors as his family, Velvet, and I step out of the home to greet the crowd gathering outside. Some people in the crowd are wearing press badges and holding scrolls up to record the event. Others in attendance include Saber and other Menagerie Guards. Ghira steps up to the podium and raises his hand to quiet the crowd down.
"Thank you all for assembling here. I wanted to take time to address some of the rumors that have been circulating around our island. I believe that it is important for the people of this territory to understand the truth. No matter how you feel about the human race, I think we can all agree that the event now known as the Fall of Beacon was a tragedy. A tragedy that will set both man and Faunus-kind back. While the main aggressor is still unknown, we do have official confirmation that Adam Taurus... the leader of a powerful splinter group working inside the White Fang, was partially responsible for these attacks. His actions not only tarnished the reputation of an organization originally created to bring peace and equality to all, but to our entire race. With each day that this man remains unpunished, it becomes increasingly difficult to condemn those that look down upon us."
The crowd starts murmuring among themselves. Ghira raises his hand again to quiet the crowd down.
"Recently, a spy from the same splinter group set their sights on this very home. My own daughter Blake, her friend, and her boyfriend, Y/N, did their very best to apprehend this individual. While they were unsuccessful after being physically assaulted, they were successful in obtaining the assailant's Scroll." Ghira takes out the Scroll from inside his coat. "With this, we have been able to ascertain that Adam Taurus has plans to overthrow the current leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan, and take over the reins himself."
At this, the crowd starts to loudly murmur in concern.
Ghira: "His radical plans do not stop there, the documents on this scroll proclaim his next target to be Haven Academy and its attached CCT Tower. Their plan is to strike on the last full moon before the beginning of the Fall semester, roughly two months from today. I have sent my swiftest messenger to the government of Mistral, but I believe we have a greater responsibility. My relationship with the White Fang has been... an interesting one. Years ago, I led the organization to help try and create a world where I, and every Faunus who wished, could walk alongside the human race. And while I believe we made great strides toward this goal, it was made clear to me that the people both in and out of the White Fang wanted faster results. So I stepped down, and Sienna Khan was appointed as my successor. It's true that I do not fully condone many of her methods. What I do condone is what Sienna fights for: the idea that the Faunus and humans are, and should be, equal. Adam Taurus does not seem to have that goal in mind. What he has done benefits no one but himself. I think it's time that the Faunus showed the world that we are equals! Time that we snuff out this splinter group, and restore the White Fang to what it once was!"
The crowd begins to cheer at this remark.
"To do this, I think the answer is clear, we must go to Haven and protect it at all costs!" At this, the crowd suddenly stops cheering, showing some hesitance. Ghira sees this and clears his throat. "Before we proceed any further, I'd like to invite my daughter to come and share her story. Not only as a former member of the White Fang but also as a survivor of the Fall of Beacon. With her boyfriend."
Blake and I step up to the podium and face Ghira as he speaks reassuringly to Blake.
"You can do this."
Suddenly, a familiar voice yells out from the crowd.
"TRAITORS!!"
Ilia uncloaks herself, wearing her Grimm mask and clenching her teeth angrily. Velvet and I glare at her intensely. Blake gives a surprised look before glaring back at her.
"Ilia..."
"Cowards! After everything the humans have done to us, everything they've put us through, you're asking us to help them?!" Ghira places a hand to his head.
"I know we haven't been treated fairly..."
"Where was their help when the Dust companies treated our people like slaves?! Where was their help when Kingdoms hunted Faunus just for being who they are?! Where was my help when my parents were killed in a Dust mine?! WHERE?!"
"Young lady, progress takes patience and cooperation!"
"The Belladonnas are the worse kind of Faunus! They want us to work with the same people that are trying to hold us down! If you truly, truly want to help your people... now is the time to support Adam, not the Belladonnas! He will bring about the future that you deserve. And if you are unwilling to fight, know that the White Fang w-"
I yell at Ilia, "Silence! Suffering does not entitle you to violence! It only makes you a target, Amitola! Blake's seen it! Velvet has seen it! I have seen it! We've all fucking seen it! You're not the only one who suffered! There are also humans that have gone through shit like you have! Adam does not fucking care about you! He doesn't give a rat's ass about any of you!"
Everyone looks towards me, then at Ilia, but she uses her weapon to get out of the way and flee.
"After her!!" Saber and the rest of the Menagerie guards move to chase down Ilia.
Blake and Ghira angrily glare from the stage, while Kali has a worried look on her face. Velvet looks at me in concern as I snarl and clench my fists with tears in my eyes, then stomp off the stage as Ghira's eyes widen in concern as Blake tries reaching out to me.
"My parents in my old world were fucking murdered! I was left homeless! My mother figure and mentor was murdered! My sister and wife pregnant with our daughter Vega were murdered as well! I've been verbally and emotionally abused by a girl who cheated on me and me feel like wanting to kill myself! My own friends betrayed me! Raven tried to murder me thirteen fucking times! My mom's farm was burned down and Apache was killed! The fucking Fall of Beacon! The man I considered the closest damn thing to a father figure I've had in a while died as well!"
============================================================
Oscar P.O.V.
I'm sitting on a red chair next to M/N, nervously looking at everyone.
Nora asks, "Did he age backwards?"
Coco takes off her sunglasses and says, "He's possessed!"
Pyrrha says, "Or reincarnated!"
Ruby asks, "Oh! Isn't it weird?" I nod.
"It is very weird, yes." Qrow steps up.
"Okay, okay. Let's all just take a second and remember that this is very overwhelming for everyone."
Everyone steps back together and they nervously chuckle. I turn to Qrow.
"Thanks." Qrow then takes a seat on the couch in between M/N and I. Ruby, Pyrrha, and Nora have taken a seat on the couch perpendicular to Qrow's, while Coco, Neo, and Cinder remain standing. Oscar then shares a brief look with Ruby, who giggles. "Ah, sorry! It's just I've never really met Huntsmen and Huntresses before."
Ruby giggles, "Well, uh... we've never met a person with two souls! So, first times all around. Y/N said otherwise."
I smile and chuckle at Ruby before I hear M/N clear her throat.
"Not to break up the whole 'getting-to-know-you' game, but we need to have a talk. Mind showing us your little parlor trick, kid?" I groan.
"Yeah, okay. Just so you know, I'll still be here."
Everyone looks at me in confusion. I lower my head and close my eyes. Suddenly, a green and white aura shines from my body for a moment, I open up my eyes, which are now glowing, and I smile. When I speak, they all hear a familiar voice overlapping with a bunch of other voices, including mine.
"It is so very good to see you again, students."
Everyone, minus M/N and Qrow and Cinder for some reason, shares a brief look of confusion. Pyrrha's eyes widen.
"Wait, what just happened?" Neo tilts her head.
"Professor... Ozpin?"
"Correct. And though I may be the one speaking, Oscar is still present mentally. He's merely handed over the control, so to speak."
"Just don't make us do anything embarrassing..."
"I'm afraid this all must be very perplexing." Pyrrha nods.
"And alarming, and bizarre, and just really kind of hard to believe overall." Ozpin chuckles.
"It's good to see you children are still yourselves, even if you've... changed a bit. And I heard while wandering the plane that Y/N forgave you, Cinder. So I'm glad to know you don't work with... them anymore. I know you've all been through tremendous hardship already. I'm sorry." Ruby looks in sympathy.
"I mean, it's not your fault."
"It's all my fault." Qrow leaves for the kitchen. "I told you once that I made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet, and I wasn't exaggerating. I'm... cursed. For thousands of years, I've walked the surface of Remnant, living, dying, and reincarnating in the body of a like-minded soul. The Professor Ozpin you all met was not my first form, and clearly wasn't my last. It's... an extraordinarily strenuous process on everyone involved."
Coco scratches her head.
"So who... what... are you?"
"I am the combination of countless men who've spent their lives trying to protect the people of Remnant." Qrow walks back into the room and hands me a cup of tea. "With every rebirth, my soul is eventually merged with another and I am changed, but my memories stay with me. This curse was bestowed upon me by the Gods, because I failed to stop Salem in the past. But we must stop her now."
Ruby asks, "And how do we do that?"
"We start... by ensuring the safety of the Relic of Knowledge."
============================================================
Weiss P.O.V.
At night, I awaken to find myself trapped in a cage and my wrists bound by rope. I look around and notice the bandits from earlier that took me. One of them is drinking, while the other notices me waking up and she chuckles.
"Well, well, well, look who's awake."
"Wha... what's going on? Where am I?"
"You know..." She emerges from her tent.
"I never thought I'd see a Schnee in this camp."
"Vernal!?"
The two bandits suddenly stand at attention. Vernal walks over to my cage, holding Myrtenaster in her hand. I stand up, while my captor admires my weapon as I glare.
"What do you want?"
"Straight to the point. I like it. We don't normally deal in trafficking people - not really worth our time. But, once we realized we had a Schnee, that changed."
"You're going to ransom me back to my father, is that it?"
"It's a shame you're a Schnee. You'd probably do quite well around here."
"I would never sink to your level."
Her expression then changes to a frown.
"Just keep quiet and cooperate and you'll be back in your mansion before you know it." She starts walking away from my cage. "Don't make this complicated."
"What's going to make this complicated is when my sister finds out I didn't make it to Mistral. You know my sister, don't you? Winter Schnee? Special Operative of the Atlas Military? She's in Mistral now, and when she hears I'm missing, it won't take her long to find me - and you." Suddenly, the bandits start laughing, much to my surprise. "What's so funny?"
She turns back around as she laughs.
"Oh, I don't know if it's more funny or sad, but you're clearly out of the loop. Your sister isn't in Mistral anymore. No Atlas personnel are in Mistral anymore. General Ironwood closed the borders and recalled all his little troops and tin cans. No one is coming to rescue you."
The bandits are once again laughing as she walks away from me as I close my eyes forlornly.
============================================================
Third Person P.O.V.
"This is perfect!" Nora shouts as she jumps up. "We were stuck at a dead end, but now, we can just take little cute boy Ozpin to Lionheart and have him set things straight!"
Ozpin in Oscar's body sighs.
"Please don't call me that." M/N shakes her head.
"We're not sure that's the best idea." Coco nods.
"Yeah. From what we've seen, I'm not sure he's trustworthy."
Nora pouts and groans and goes back to sit down next to Ruby and Pyrrha. Pyrrha raises an eyebrow.
"But I thought the Headmasters all took their orders from you." Ozpin looks down.
"That was the intention. Four lieutenants I can trust, especially during times of reincarnation. But Qrow told me about your meeting with Leonardo." He gets up and walks towards a painting of Mistral. "He isn't just behaving irrationally, he's disobeying specific instructions I had left him. Something's wrong. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't want to rule out any possibilities, either. No one outside of this room knows that I've paired with Oscar, and I think it may be best to keep it that way." Qrow crosses his arms.
"Play things close to the chest until we get a better hand."
"Precisely. Now, we have two steps ahead of us. The first is enlisting the aid of more Huntsmen." Cinder looks up.
"But the Mistral council--"
Qrow interrupts, "Doesn't own every Huntsman in the Kingdom, and I've been here enough times to know where we can find some more." Ozpin nods.
"So long as they're trustworthy." M/N steps up next to Qrow.
"You can trust them to put up a good fight. Qrow and I will throw together a list tonight."
Qrow puts his foot on the table, but his Semblance causes one of the legs to break and spill his cup of tea.
Nora remarks, "Good luck with that."
Qrow groans as he cleans up his mess. Ozpin nods.
"After that, we can move on to step two."
Pyrrha asks, "What's step two?"
Ozpin spins The Long Memory in his hand.
"Getting you all into fighting shape."
Everyone once again exchanges a look of confusion.
Ruby raises her hand.
"But, uh, we already know how to fight." Ozpin points to Ruby.
"You can only fight so long as you have Crescent Rose, but you're still lacking in hand-to-hand combat."
"Well, uh, yeah."
"All of you still have a-ways to go before you're ready to pose any real threat against Salem and her forces. Especially your battle with Black Tyger in Kuroyuri M/N told me about for example. And though Oscar can give me temporary control, he'll need to strengthen his body and his Aura."
Oscar asks mentally, "Wait, what?"
"He'll inherit my muscle memory in time, but practice will expedite the process."
Ruby asks, "But if Qrow's out looking for Huntsmen, then who's going to teach us?"
Ozpin propels himself into the air with his cane, spinning counterclockwise into a barrel roll before landing onto the seat of the armchair, twirling his cane.
"Well, I believe I was the Headmaster of Beacon Academy. When Ms. Belladonna,, Ms. Xiao Long, Mr. L/N, Ms. Schnee, and Ms. Scarlatina rendezvous with our group at Haven, which talking with Qrow and M/N seems like it, I will entrust Y/N to train you, since he is one of the best fighters out there and at this point, he is one of the greatest threats to Salem at the moment."
All have various looks on their faces.
"We have approximately one month before classes resume at Haven. If Salem were to plan an attack, it would make sense that it would occur prior to students' return. It's not much time, but it's better than nothing. Just don't expect me to go easy on you."
Suddenly, he glows green and white again, switching control back to Oscar. Oscar has a hard time keeping his balance on the armchair before falling backwards as he groans.
You've gotta be kidding me."
Qrow, M/N, and everyone else look on with various expressions again.
============================================================
Back at the bandit camp, the two bandits have fallen asleep. Weiss notices this, and silently uses her Semblance to create a small summoning Glyph. A small Arma Gigas appears in her hands, sword at the ready. Weiss smiles before nodding at it.
============================================================
The sound of a motorcycle is heard. Yang is riding Bumblebee with the man she encountered at the stop through a forest in Anima.
"How much further, pal?"
"This should just about do it." Yang stops her bike at a clearing. "You wait here. I'll go up ahead and make sure the coast is clear."
He dismounts from the bike and runs into the bushes. Yang shakes her head in annoyance and discards her sunglasses, sleeve and coat tails before stretching a little. Suddenly, someone pulls the trigger of a gun and Yang blocks the shot with her arm. The man reappears with several bandits in tow as Yang stands en garde.
"I can't believe you were dumb enough to let me lead you here."
The bandits present all have their weapons drawn at Yang.
"Is this everyone?" The man chuckles.
"Yes, little lady. This is it. Well, unless you count the whole rest of the camp back that way."
He gestures behind him with his thumb. Yang points a finger in the same direction.
"That way?"
The man starts grunting in confusion and looking at his tribe mates first.
"Yes. That way."
"Good to know. Thanks."
"Now to pay me back for this tooth, we're going to take your bike. And you're going to take your lumps."
Yang engages Ember Celica on her left arm. The bandits get cautious and keep their weapons trained on her. The man aims his gun.
"You got the jump on me last time, sweetheart. But you really ought to think twice about fighting all—" He cuts off when Yang engages the gun crafted from Ember Celica from her right arm on her robotic arm. The rest of the bandits gasp. "Alright... Get her!"
Yang remembers her training with Y/N in Beacon and Tai at her house, then breathes and faces her motorcycle as she fires shots at several bandits and the man she rode with.
Several more bandits run up with pistols, firing, but Yang ducks out of the way of the fire. When she hears they run out of clip, Yang fires at the bandits' feet.
Yang's left hand is shaking once again, but she calms herself down before walking back to her motorcycle.
The man coughs as he struggles to get up.
"Who are you? It doesn't even matter. When Raven finds out what you did, you're dead!"
"Possibly. But I doubt it. I am her daughter, after all. Even if that didn't matter, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want to endure Y/N at his full wrath." The man is wide-eyed.
"I'm dead!"
He falls to the ground.
============================================================
Oscar and Ruby are training hand to hand combat whilst Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, Neo, Cinder, and Coco are looking on. Coco smirks.
"Man, Oz wasn't kidding. Oscar's picking up on this stuff fast. Color me impressed."
Oscar hits Ruby straight in her face. Ruby recoils from the blow and looks visibly angry.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!"
Ruby hits Oscar back and he lands a few feet away on the ground as Pyrrha and Nora wince at the sight.
"Ha! Yes! I did it!" Her brief moment of cheering is replaced with concern as she looks back. "Oscar?"
Ozpin speaks to Oscar mentally, "You forgot to engage your Aura, again."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because this method makes you less likely to forget." Oscar groans and gets to his feet. "Mind if I give it a shot?"
Oscar stiffens briefly while his eyes glow in a yellow light.
"Not bad, Miss Rose. But Oscar doesn't have the years of training that you do. Or I do."
Oscar's body shimmers green as Ozpin engages their Aura. Pyrrha, Coco, and Nora realize what Ruby is in for. Ozpin determinedly approaches Ruby.
Ruby asks nervously, "Oh, ha, well, maybe we should uh... take a break?"
Ozpin attacks Ruby with a few punches aimed at her head, forcing her onto the defensive until he lands a blow to her face which knocks her back several feet. Ozpin closes the gap with a leap and kicks her in the face. Ruby leaps at Ozpin to throw a left cross which Ozpin evades by ducking and retaliates with a headbutt from below. Nora flinches.
"Ouch." Ozpin stands over Ruby.
"The next time you want to throw a left cross, remember to push off with the appropriate foot. And as always, do be aware of any openings." Ruby is strained as she sits up.
"Gooooot it." Ozpin relinquishes his control and Oscar falls to the ground, panting. "Oh! Hey. Are you okay?"
Oscar pants as he asks, "How is this so exhausting?"
Pyrrha answers, "Your body isn't used to this kind of training, not to mention generating a defensive Aura on your own. It takes intense concentration at first, but in time it will become second nature, allowing you to deflect attacks and gradually heal your wounds. After that, you can begin focusing on your Semblance, whatever that may be."
"Semblance?" Nora rapidly nods.
"You know! Like your very own superpower! Everybody's got one. It's just a matter of finding it and mastering it. Ruby moves super fast, Electricity makes me stronger, Coco can manipulate the potency of Dust, and Pyrrha has control over Magnetism."
Ruby takes Oscar by the hand and leads him over to Pyrrha.
"And you will, too. We all just have to try and help each other get stronger."
Oscars smiles, "Cool."
Cinder smiles, "A common philosophy is that a warrior's Semblance is a part of who they are. Some say your personality and character can define your Semblance while some claim that it is the other way around. Of course, there are still many who don't see a connection at all." Nora shrugs.
"It's hard to know when you know sometimes. My childhood friend Ren, who's in Vale, had his Semblance unlocked from intense stress."
Ruby says, "And mine kicked in during training one day."
Pyrrha nods and gives hers, "Mine was reaching out for salt at dinner with my parents and I may or may not have accidentally pulled the lid off and spilt salt all over my food." Coco laughs.
"I sneezed while playing with Dust once as a teen in Pharos and found I had the ability to strengthen or weaken Dust and even make it explode."
Cinder looks down and somberly says, "Cleaning in a hotel."
Neo looks up at Cinder in sympathy and turns to Oscar with her Scroll:
"When I was a child playing with an imaginary friend coincidentally named 'Neo'. Neo and I were different, but my Semblance made 'Neo' real to me, and when I killed my abusive parents, I dropped my old name Trivia, and I was found by Roman and so I gave myself a new name - Neo Politan - since we became one and the same."
Oscar turns to Nora.
"And what about you?"
"Oh. Struck by lightning. Didn't die. Craaaazy Thursday."
Oscar's eyes glow momentarily as Ozpin takes control of his body again.
"Unlocking your Semblance isn't the end. It can still grow and evolve. Providing you're willing to put in the work, who knows what could happen." Ruby smiles.
"Then let's get back to it."
============================================================
Yang finally enters the camp, escorted by a few bruised bandits who they had roughed up earlier. She notices more bandits lining up along the path, giving angry glares at them. Vernal steps out of her tent to see what the commotion is about. The two bandits guarding Weiss are playing cards with each other, before joining the rest of their tribe to see Yang walk in. Weiss notices this and once again summons a small Arma Gigas, who begins to get to work on freeing her from her confinement. Yang and her escorts arrive at the camp's main tent. Raven emerges from it with her mask on.
"Mom." Raven removes her mask, smiling.
"Yang. So, after all this time you finally decided to visit me."
Yang feels her left hand shaking once again, but she uses her robotic hand to calm it down.
"You know that I searched for you. I spent years looking for you."
"And you've found me. You were patient, determined, and strong enough to make your dream a reality. Well done, Yang. But did you have to be so rough with my men?"
"I didn't want a fight. They started it."
"Well, you certainly finished it." Silence. "Right. I'm sure this is all very overwhelming. But I must admit that you've proven yourself. So any questions you have I'll be happy to answer. You can stay with us tonight. I'll even have the cooks whip up something for you."
"That's not why I'm here."
The bandits react to Yang's irreverence.
"What was that?"
"We're not here for you. Ruby is somewhere in Mistral. She's with Qrow and she's going to need my help. I just need you to take me to her."
"And why would I do that?"
"Because we're family."
Raven scowls, and mutters, "Family. Only coming around when they need something." She starts projecting again. "I have to say, I'm disappointed. After all, you found me, didn't you? Why not take that drive and use it to find your little sister if she means that much to you?"
"Because you're going to save me time. Ruby was heading to Mistral, but there's no guarantee she's made it there. Looking for her in Anima could take ages. But... Dad told me how your Semblance works."
Raven mutters under her breath.
"Tai..."
"You can bond to certain people. And when you do, you could create a portal that takes you straight to them. You've got one for Dad. One for me. And you've got one for Qrow. He promised me he and M/N would watch out for Ruby before he left. And I trust him. So, make a portal to my uncle and sister, and we'll be on my way."
"You know, it takes real strength to march in here and demand such a favor of me. I've got to say, I'm impressed. It's very noble to want to help out your sister. But if she's with Qrow, then she's already a lost cause."
"What does that mean?"
"You don't want to get mixed up in all of that, Yang. Ozpin is not the man you think he is. And Qrow and M/N are fools for trusting him. I would know, I trusted him once, too." Vernal, holding Myrtenaster, looks on disdainfully, and places her right hand on her hip. "Your choice is your own. All I'm suggesting is that instead of getting wrapped up in something too big for you, for any of us, that maybe you take a moment to wonder if you're already where you belong."
"Save your breath. You can spout off whatever you want, but nothing is going to keep me from my sister."
"Well, aren't you stubborn."
"I get it from my mom. And my teammate in Beacon inspired me to stand my ground and fight." Raven smirks.
"And who might that be?" Yang narrows her eyes.
"Y/N." Raven's eyes widen, then she narrows them.
"Well, if that's how you feel, then it sounds like we're done here. Take her away."
The bandits surround and begin to move in on Yang. Yang sees this, before turning her head back to Raven.
"Did you not hear me? I said send me to Qrow, damn it!" A bandit comes up.
"That's enough! You watch your mouth in front of our leader!" Some of the bandits tense up behind him.
"Make me."
The bandit tries to attack Yang, Yang punches the bandit into a tent, revealing Weiss in her cage.
"Yang?"
"Weiss?"
Everyone else present is surprised that the two girls know each other.
Weiss speaks to herself, "Alright, well, subtlety is out."
Weiss turns to her miniature Arma Gigas and makes it grow, destroying the cage in the process. She quickly makes her way towards Yang, with the now giant Arma Gigas following close behind.
"What is that?"
"Don't worry about it. What are you doing here?" Yang gestures to Raven.
"Well, that's my mom and she can take us to Ruby." Raven rolls her eyes.
"Ugh." Weiss is incredulous.
"Your mom kidnapped me?!" Yang turns to Raven.
"You kidnapped her?!"
Yang, Weiss, and Weiss's summon turn and run to fight the bandits, but a lightning bolt appears, summoned by Vernal, stopping the fight before it starts.
Vernal speaks with an echo, "Enough!" Raven nods.
"Thank you. If you people don't keep it together this place will be crawling with Grimm. Vernal. Give the girl her weapon back." Vernal looks surprised at the command, then tosses Myrtenaster to Weiss. "You two. In my tent. Now." Yang tilts her head.
"Why?"
"If you're really going after your sister, then you need to know the truth."
Raven enters her tent and the bandits go back to their own businesses. Weiss places her hand on her chest in relief as Yang sighs.
"Sorry about--" Weiss drops Myrtenaster and strongly hugs Yang.
"I missed you so much."
"I've missed you, too."
Yang puts her hand on the back of Weiss' head and hugs back as her summon disappears. The two girls remain embraced.
"Well it looks like we've been able to follow Y/N's plan, even if we failed to be careful of the bandits."
