Yue POV:
With Oscar missing we all split up and go look for him.
Yue: (Where is he?)
I close my eyes sensing multiple auras.
Yue: (Come on)
I sense his aura a few meters away.
Yue: (There!)
I get through the crowd of people to see Oscar wandering around.
Yue: Oscar!
I jump over the crowd and land next to him.
Oscar: Yue? What are you doing here?
Yue: I should be saying the same to you.
Oscar: Huh?
Yue: Everybody's looking all over for you.
Oscar: Really?
Yue: Of course.
Oscar: Even Jaune?
Yue: Especially Jaune he's been all around town looking for you.
Oscar: ....
Yue: Are you okay?
Oscar: I'm scared that eventually I won't be me anymore.
Oscar: I'll just be another one of his lives.
Yue: No, you won't.
Oscar: How can you be so sure?!
Yue: If Ozpin wanted to take total control he would've have done it as soon as he merged souls with you.
He sits down on the curb and I join him.
Yue: I know Ozpin has lied and kept secrets from all of us but he's not evil.
Yue: He's just a regular person like you and me.
Yue: So of course he's gonna make mistakes.
Yue: I know you didn't want this kind of life but you did so you can either keep sulking thinking Ozpin is gonna take control or you can stand back up and show everybody what Oscar Pine can do.
Oscar: Really?
Yue: Yeah, We've all seen you in action and I believe you can be even better than Ozpin.
Oscar: (Smiles) Yeah!
He stands back up with a determined look on his face.
Oscar: Thanks for the good advice.
Yue: Heh, I get it from my Mom.
Yue: Now are you ready to head back home?
Oscar: Not yet I have something I gotta do.
He takes off.
Oscar: I'll be back soon!
Yue: You better!
I keep looking until he was out of sight.
Yue: (Guess it's time to head back home)
I start walking back home seeing all the attractions that Argus had to offer along the way.
I stop as I see Team RWBY and Maria looking at Qrow disapprovingly as he's passed out drunk on the stairs.
Yang: I've never seen him this bad.
Ruby: Come on, let's get him up.
Ruby and Yang grab both his arm and sit him up as he groans and rubs his eyes.
Qrow: Why am I on the stairs?
Ruby: Probably because no one's home, Uncle Qrow. We've been out looking for Oscar.
Qrow: Oscar?
Team JNPR come along with Saphron, Adrian, and Terra.
Terra: (sarcastic) I'm sure this looks great to the neighbors.
Saphron gives her a light elbow.
Ren: No luck?
Blake: No, you?
I was about to say something until I sense that Oscar was in the house.
Yue: I'm sure he'll turn up.
Jaune: Don't worry, we aren't going to Atlas without him.
Ruby: We?
Jaune: (to Saphron) Sorry we won't be staying.
Saphron: (smirking) No you're not.
Terra: How about we get out of the cold?
The door opens as I smirk seeing Oscars new outfit.
Oscar: Oh, I was wondering when you'd get back.
(This just looked more Badass in my opinion)
Everybody except Yue: Oscar!!
They all run in and hug him.
Weiss: You had us worried sick!
Ruby: Are you okay?
Nora: (grinning) What are you wearing?
Oscar: (smiles and rubs the back of his head) Uh...
Terra: Is something cooking?
Oscar: Oh, uh, yeah. I thought you guys would appreciate a hot meal after... spending all day looking for me, apparently.
Jaune: It's my fault we were all out there in the first place. Oscar, I am so sorry for earlier. I was way, way out of line, and what I said--
Oscar: No, it's okay. These past few days, I've been scared of the same things you were. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be... me.
Oscar: But I've done some thinking and got some advice from a very good friend, Now I know I want to do everything I can to help with whatever time I have left.
Jaune: (smiles) Good. This team isn't the same without you, Oscar.
Everyone shares a smile until an alarm goes off.
Oscar: (gasps) The casserole!
Saphron: (giggles) We're on it, chef.
As her and Terra head inside the kitchen.
Ruby: Uh, combat gear looks good.
They both smile at each other until we all notice Qrow heading upstairs.
Ruby: (sternly) Where are you going now?
Qrow: I don't want to get in the way of your celebration.
Ruby: You've been gone all day! Just sit with us.
Qrow: (sighs) Look, Ruby, I'm glad you kids worked out, uh, whatever all that was. But the fact is, we're not a single step closer to Atlas.
Jaune: Actually, I think I have an idea. But... it's sort of a "no-going-back" kind of idea.
Ruby: Well, let's hear it.
Jaune: With Cordo on watch, only Atlas airships have the clearance to leave for Solitas. So... we... steal an Atlas airship.
Yue: (That could go wrong in so many ways)
Weiss: That's not just breaking the law. That's... that's definitely worse.
Yang: How would we even get onto the airfield?
Jaune: That part I haven't quite figured out yet. But I--
Qrow: Okay, stop. Just... stop! Look, if this thing goes south, it's not something we can just fight our way out of.
Qrow: This is the Atlas Military we're talking about. (sighs) For your sake, just drop this.
I look to see everyone with discouraged look as Ruby looks back up with a look of determination.
Ruby: I want to hear him out.
Qrow: Ruby...
Ruby: I want to hear him out! I know you're trying to protect us, that you're afraid we can't do it, but right now, I don't really care what you think!
Ruby: Just because you don't have an idea, doesn't mean we're out of options!
Ruby: Oz hasn't been here to tell us what to do, but we still managed to get this far anyway.
Ruby: We've been in bad situations before, and we don't need an adult to come save us or tell us what to do.
Ruby: We just did it our way! And I say we do it our way. (everyone smiles from her reasoning) And if you think you can keep up with us "kids"... we'd be happy to have you.
I look to Qrow looking down with an saddened expression.
Maria: (laughs) Looks like you didn't give her enough credit either.
Timeskip~
After discussing the steps for the plan to succeed it was now time for it to be set in motion.
The plan starts with Weiss having Maria in her luggage to get escorted to Atlas so they could steal the airship.
Quick Weiss POV:
Cordovin: Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending... (with disdain) Beacon Academy.
Weiss: (pretending) It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots.
Cordovin: Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps.
I fake a smile to hide my hidden disdain.
Weiss: Absolutely.
Cordovin: I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part. (winks and walks away)
I try to keep myself from throwing up.
Guard 1: Allow me to assist you with your bag. (hups over to pick up her luggage) My, what a heavy bag!
Weiss: That's alright!
As I try to keep a grip on my "luggage".
Guard 1: Nonsense!
Guard 2: Allow me to assist as well!
Weiss: I can take care of it by myself!
I look to see Cordovin giving me a suspicious look until Saphron and Adrian distract them as I run over to the airship.
Weiss: That was close.
Ruby: (over earpiece) Is everything okay?
I hear Maria moving and grumbling in my luggage.
Maria: Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!
Weiss: We're on board.
Yue POV:
I start flying over Yang and Blake as they ride over Bumblebee.
Jaune: (Over earbud) Alright, we'll all watch our scrolls. The second Weiss is out of range of the comm tower, that'll mean she's out of range of the radar too.
Yang: And that's when Blake steps in. We're almost at the drop off.
We continue on the way as Blake receives instructions from Terra.
Terra: (over scroll) Okay, remember: one, the radar box is separate from the rest of the communications equipment.
Terra: So if you disconnect it properly, it won't take out comms for the rest of the city. Two, this conversation never happened.
Blake: Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've disabled Atlas security.
Terra: Never. Happened.
We make it to the drop off point.
Yang: You sure we shouldn't come with?
Blake: More intruders means we're more likely to be seen. Besides, stealth isn't exactly your, um...
As Yang looks at her with her arms cross.
Blake: I mean, you're great! And I'll hurry back.
Yang: (softening her expression) Go.
She takes her leave.
Jaune: (Over earbud) Okay, the plan is coming together now when Blake's done Yue you fly them to rendezvous point.
A few moments pass until I sense an Aura I didn't expect to be here.
Yue: Oh no!
Yang: Yue?
Yue: We need to go now!
I start flying faster towards Blake's position as Yang follows me on Bumblebee.
I land to see Blake behind cover.
Yue: You!
Adam: I see your Bitch of a lover is here now Blake.
