The full moon illuminates the night sky above Haven Academy. On the school grounds, You take the lead as the currently present members of Team RWBY, the remaining members of Team JNPR, Oscar, and Qrow follow close behind. Ruby stops and looks up to admire Haven's CCT tower, before following the rest of the group to a nearby building. They enter the building and are greeted by Lionheart, who is standing on a terrace at the top of the stairs that is being held up by a statue, "Why hello. Thank you for... coming. There... seems to be more of you than last time. (Y/n) is here as well."

Qrow and the rest of the group stop to look up at Lionheart. "Eh, you know what they say, "The more, the merrier." So what's going on with the council?"
"Why... did you bring your weapons?"
"What? Lionheart, we're Huntsmen, we always carry our weapons. Are you okay?" You ask with a worried tone, "Of course! Of course, sorry. Just haven't had my evening coffee."

"Look, it's nice to see you, but we got work to do. Are we getting support from the council or not?" Qrow steps forward.

While the two talk, a black feather floats down to you as Yang notices from the corner of her eye, a blackbird perched on a balcony railing, "Mom?" Everyone's attention is turned to the bird. It flies away just as Qrow shoots at it, but he misses. The bird flies down behind Lionheart, transforming into Raven, donning her mask. Everyone glares at her, "Raven..."

"They... they really are magic..." Nora says in disbelief.

"If you're going to shoot me, shoot me. That was insulting."
"What are you doing here?!"

Raven walks down the stairs, "I could ask you the same thing. You've been scheming, little brother. Planning to attack your own sister. (Y/n), that may be the last feather from me."
"Leo... what have you done?!"
"I..."

"Leo did what any sane person would in his position - he looked at all the information he had in front of him, assessed the situation, and made a choice. And it seems you all have too."

Lionheart makes eye contact with you, fear spread crossed his face as you had a blank stare, your eyes we're no longer (e/c) but a dark purple with a gold ring around them, "(Y/n), I-"
"Leonardo Lionheart, what did she do to you, while I've been nothing but supportive? You, along with the other headmasters, have made an oath to me, to the relics, by the names of the gods-" Oscar cuts you off "(Y/n)." You didn't cut off eye contact with Lionheart until he looked away first, then you faced Raven, "You have the Spring Maiden, or..." You tilt your head; Raven caught on what you were getting at and didn't think that you would find out, covering her secret, "I do."

"Then hand her over, and let's work together! We can beat Salem!" Qrow shouts.

"All that time spent spying for Ozpin, and you still have no idea what you're dealing with. (Y/n) was with you all this time, and you don't have a clue what she is. There is no beating, Salem!"
"You're wrong. We've done things that most people would call impossible, and I know the only reason we were able to do it is because we didn't do it alone! We had people to teach us, people to help us, we had each other. Work with us. At least I know we'll have a better chance if we try together. Please."

Ruby holds her hand out. Raven glares at it, "You sound just like your mother."

Suddenly, Raven draws Omen and creates a portal with her Semblance. From the portal, a fireball is launched towards Ruby, but you got in the way resulting the fireball hitting you knocking you back a few feet. "(Y/n)!" Qrow rushes to you as you had slight burn marks.

Cinder steps out of the portal. "Hello, boys and girls." She is then joined by Suneel, Vernal, Emerald, and Mercury as they too step out from the portal. Suneel glares at Cinder, seeing that you took the hit, "Cinder..."
"I was aiming at the girl; Saint got in the way."

Cinder and her group line up alongside Raven, while the rest gasp, "C'mon guys, is that any way to greet your old friends?"

Yang growls at him, "Everybody, stay calm. What are you doing here?" You ask Suneel as he steps forward to you; he takes notice that you took a step back. "I see that you still keep distance. I'm here to observe and eventually, if possible, bring back the original Queen." Qrow stands in front of you. Suneel sighs and glares darkly at Qrow, "I see you still follow her around. Step away from my beloved, and we can be on your way."

Suddenly they hear the doors behind them open up, "Oh no..."

Hazel closes the doors behind him as he enters, "The White Fang is prepping demolition and securing the school grounds. No one's getting in, and no one's getting out."

Outside, a White Fang soldier is seen placing a bomb on the CCT tower. The camera zooms out to show more bombs all primed set by more White Fang soldiers. Adam Taurus looks on, "Once the charges are set, move back to perimeter watch. Tonight, Haven falls. Along with everyone inside."

Back inside, everyone watches Hazel slowly approach them. They turn their attention back to Cinder, "This was all just a trap?"
"It appears so..."
"Raven, tell me... how long have you been with them?"

"Aww, don't take it personally, little bird. Your sister was a recent addition. The lion, on the other hand... Entrance into the Vytal Festival was a real treat, Leonardo's been sending Salem all sorts of information for a very, very long time. Isn't that right, professor?
"Stop it..."

"It was you..." You looked down in disappointment. "You sit on the Mistral Council. You had information on every Huntsman and Huntress in the Kingdom, and you gave it all to her?"
"I-"

"I couldn't find any of them, because you let her kill them!" Qrow shouts. Lionheart doesn't say anything, only still having a sad expression on his face, "Aw now, don't beat yourself up about it, Lionheart, I'm sure Tyrian and Hazel would've found them on their own eventually."

"What is wrong with you...? How can you be so broken inside... to take so many lives, and then come here and rub it in our faces like it's something to be proud of?!"

"Jaune..."
"All with that damn smile on your face!!" Tears stream from his eyes. The rest of the group draw their weapons. "Everybody, stay calm!"

Cinder just glares, "I'm gonna make you pay for what you did!! Do you hear me?!"

"Jaune, enough!"
"Well?! SAY SOMETHING!"

After a short pause, Cinder says her response, "Who are you again?" At this, Jaune gains a look of shock, and then of anger. He transforms Crocea Mors to its two-handler form and advances forward. Cinder summons Midnight and blocks Jaune's attack.

"Jaune!" Ruby leaps into the air, but a chain wraps around her, and she is pulled to the ground by Emerald.
"You're not getting near her."

Jaune is then pushed back by Cinder, and the two begin their duel. Yang runs forward to join the fight, but Mercury lands in front of her, "Hey there, Blondie. I'm thinking you owe me an apology for my leg, don't ya think?" Yang growls and uses Ember Celica to project herself forward.

"Take out the heiress. Don't bother wasting your power; she's not worth it." Raven then draws her sword as Qrow uses Harbinger to lock blades with his sister, "Running away was one thing, but this... you've crossed the line!"
"Sorry, brother. Sometimes family disappoints you like that."
"We're not family anymore."
"Were we ever?"
"I thought so, but I guess I was wrong."

The two then proceed with their fight, while Vernal confronts Weiss, "Let's see what the Schnee name really means."

Vernal draws her weapons, while Weiss holds Myrtenaster, "I'm more than a name."
"Hm, prove it."

Weiss activates a glyph below her and projects herself forward to fight the Spring Maiden. Meanwhile, Oscar sneaks up the stairs to Lionheart while Hazel confronts Ren and Nora, who hold up their weapons defensively, "I don't wish to fight either of you."
"Nor I you."
"But we will if you're with her!"

Hazel cracks his neck and knuckles, "Very well, then." Hazel proceeds forward. As Lionheart nervously watches the fights going on, he then notices Oscar walk up behind him, "Young man, I don't know who you are or what you think you're doing, but for your sake, I suggest you leave. Now."

Oscar defiantly remains stationary before taking a few more steps toward Lionheart, "I'm warning you!" Lionheart holds out Stalwart, while Oscar prepares to draw something from behind him, "That's enough!"

Lionheart rotates his weapon, having a glyph appear above it, which then conjures a flaming rock that launches at Oscar, who holds out his arms in front of him defensively as the attack explodes. Oscar is unscathed, though his Aura shimmers. He continues to proceed up the steps and draws The Long Memory, "Ozpin?"
"Not quite."

Oscar then proceeds forward as his attacks force Lionheart on the defensive. He manages to whack Lionheart back a few steps. "This can't be... I knew you would be back, but... you made it here! You found Saint! How?"

Mentally Ozpin questions, "Leo... what happened to you?"
"Wait. You can't have had this form for long. You're... not really Ozpin right now. Boy. Child. If I deliver you to Salem, she'll have to be pleased with me, and I can finally get out of all of this! I can finally be free!"

Lionheart, now determined, preps his weapon again. Oscar shakes his head, "What do I do?"
"Fight." Oscar proceeds forward.

You and Suneel didn't move an inch, as the chaos surrounding you. "It's been a while." Suneel was the first to speak, "Tyrian told me what you did to him." He began to chuckle, "You should have seen him." The chuckle became a laugh, "I told him about you being the real Queen, and he didn't believe me. Looks like he should have listened."

Suneel then advanced towards you. You did the same, not having a weapon; you trained yourself without one. As for Suneel, with his semblance of Pyrokinesis, he never carried a weapon; he used himself as one. "Next time, he should know who he is going against." You say as you dodge his arm. "No weapon, and you haven't summoned Ajin. Going back to your old ways?"
"You make it sound worse than what you are doing now."
You leap over him as flames surrounded the floor where you were standing, "Love is what is driving me to do this, I'm sure you did the same when they took Cyan from you." Suneel's eyes darken as his smile widens. Your eyes widen, "Leave him out of this!" You roundhouse kicked him, he didn't dodge the hit. "Salem can bring him back."

Meanwhile, Weiss leaps around on her glyphs, dodging Vernal's weapons as she throws them like boomerangs. Weiss is then forced on the defensive and creates a massive ice wall. She then stabs Myrtenaster into the ground as her Arma Gigas summon crawls out of her glyph. Suddenly, a large beam destroys the ice wall as well as the Arma Gigas before it could be fully summoned. One of Vernal's weapons knocks Weiss back several feet.

Vernal catches her weapon, "Don't think I'm going to let you take the easy way out."

Elsewhere, Jaune is knocked to the ground, "I'm starting to remember you; you're the dense one that can't tell when he's out of his league."

Jaune gets back up and clashes blades with Cinder again. Ruby watches them fight but is snapped out of her distraction by Emerald. She then transforms Thief's Respite into its revolver forms and fires at Ruby, who twirls around Crescent Rose, blocking Emerald's shots, "Why are you doing this?! Salem's-"
"I don't care about Salem! But I owe Cinder everything. You want to fight her that bad? Be my guest."

Emerald then activates her hallucination Semblance, creating a wall of fire which Cinder emerges from and charges at Ruby. Suddenly, Cinder's form disappears, while Emerald trips Ruby. Ruby fires a bullet that narrowly misses Weiss, who is blocking Vernal's shots with Myrtenaster. Weiss attempts to summon, but Vernal is too quick and prevents her from doing so. Eventually, Weiss manages to launch Vernal out of the way and prepares to summon again. Suddenly, Vernal appears in front of her and lands an attack that depletes Weiss' aura. Weiss lets out a pained scream. Jaune hears this and looks in her direction as tears well up in his eyes, "Are you going to let her die too?"
"Stop messing with me!"
"If that's what you want..."

Cinder then ignites her scimitar, which is now fully coated in flames. Cinder and Jaune proceed forward to clash. Ruby looks behind her and notices this. She briefly thinks back to the moment when Pyrrha died, remembering your cries after the incident, and her eyes start to shine bright again, "NOO!!"

A bright light engulfs the area but dies down when Ruby is knocked unconscious by Emerald. Suddenly, Cinder falls to her knees, holding her arm in pain. She looks up, and barely misses Jaune's attack as it chips her mask that conceals the left side of her face. As Cinder moves out of the way, Jaune trips and falls. Cinder gets back up enraged, activating her Maiden power while doing so. She then steps on top of Jaune to hold him down, "Did you think you had a chance against me?! You?!!"

Jaune struggles to reach for his weapon while Cinder calms herself and deactivates her Maiden power, "You're just a failure with a death wish."
"If I die buying them time, then it's worth it. They're the ones that matter." Cinder looks to Jaune's comrades as they fight against their respective foes, before smiling evilly back down to him, "You think so?"

She then notices Weiss get knocked back several feet away and begins to proceed toward her while she conjures an obsidian spear slowly.

"No... NOOOOOOO!!!" You turn around, pushing Suneel out of your way. His mint eyes widen, seeing the scene unfold, "Cinder, No!" Cinder throws the spear, ignoring Suneel, and you jump in front of Weiss in hopes of saving her. However, the spear impaling both you and Weiss. Weiss gasps in shock as everyone stops their fighting and stare in shock as well. The spear then disintegrates as Weiss goes motionless and slumps forwards before she hits the floor Ajin caught her. The floor cracks underneath you, "I can't lose you, too." Qrow and Raven freeze as they see you fall on the floor "(Y/n)!" Suneel kneels in front of you, "Let's take you home." Before Suneel places a hand on you, Qrow shot the ground next to Suneel, catching his attention. "Don't touch her!"
