Here we're are, ready for chapter two of this new crossover story.

Chapter 2

When Summer emerged out of the darkness, she found herself staring at the night sky.

"I...back?" Summer thought before standing up from being laying on the ground.

"Where am I?" Summer asked herself as she looked around. She could see trees and some distance away she could see a wooden house that seem familiar to her. She saw that the entire place is covered in snow.

"I need to get somewhere warm. It won't be good for the fox Faunus to stay out here." Summer thought, glancing down at the brown hair fox Faunus.

"Hello, Summer." A voice suddenly spoke, causing the white-cloak Huntress to whirl around and did a round house kick at the speaker. Unfortunately, the speaker managed to catch Summer's raised leg, causing the silver eye women to gain a slightly surprise expression on her face.

Summer observe the person who spoke. She couldn't see the person's face due to a Nevermore-like mask covering the speaker's face, but the person has long black hair and is wearing black and red clothes and by her side is sheathed-sword that looked very familiar to the silver eye women.

"...Raven? is that you?" Summer asked as the masked women released her leg before removing the Nevermore mask.

"It's been a while. Hasn't it, Summer?" The now known Raven asked, her red eyes staring at Summer.

"Yes...Yes it has." Summer replied, looking at the very splitting image of her step-daughter, Yang. It was then a slight burst of angry rose within the silver eye women.

"Where have been, Raven? you just left Taiyang and Yang, your newly born daughter." Summer asked, glaring at Raven, growling slightly.

"I...went back to my tribe." Raven replied as she grip her Nevermore with both hands. Summer doesn't fully know the backstory of the Branwen siblings except they were raised in a tribe within Mistral.

"And you went back to them instead of staying because?" Summer asked and the silver eye women notice that the red eyed women has started to play with her hair, a sign that shows that she's a nervous.

"It was supposed to be a catch-up meeting, we haven't see each other for four years..." Raven began to reply, causing Summer to raise a eye-brow.

"And?" Summer asked, knowing that there is more. Raven took a deep breath.

"My and Qrow's father, the current leader of the tribe, decided to make me the next leader of the tribe." Raven replied as she looked down at the Nevermore mask in her hands.

"Is that symbol of leadership or something?" Summer asked as she looked down at the mask, never seeing it before.

"Its traditional for the next leader of the tribe to make a mask base off a Grimm." Raven replied, causing Summer to nod her head slightly.

"Why didn't you refuse? Surly there were other candidates in this tribe of yours." Summer explained, causing Raven to purse her lips.

"Father...thought I was the right candidate to be leader." Raven replied, however, Summer wasn't pleased with the reply.

"Why didn't you ju/My father is a dangerous person! He's someone you shouldn't get on his bad side!" Raven suddenly exclaimed, causing Summer to jump slightly.

"I would have come back, but Father..."insisted" that I stay." Raven explained and the white-cloak Huntress saw regret in the red eyed women's eyes.

"I've never seen Raven like this before." Summer thought, remembering how Raven is the type that hides her emotions.

"What about Qrow. Didn't you father ask for his presence?" Summer asked, causing Raven to shake her head.

"No. Father has no need for someone who lost interest in the tribe's way of life." Raven replied, causing Summer to nod his head slightly.

"So, where are we?" Summer asked, gaining the feeling that Raven want to change the subject.

"Don't you recognize it? It's your home." Raven replied, causing the silver eye women to gain a shock expression on her face.

"Raven! I can't be here. If Salem finds out I'm here, she will defiantly kill Ruby!" Summer explained, but Raven place a hand on Summer's shoulder.

"Relax Summer. That...monster thinks you're dead anyway." Raven said, causing Summer to gain a confused look on her face.

"Salem thinks that the attacks from those Grimm-dragons threw at you completely killed you, leaving no traces off your body." Raven explained and it was then that Summer realized something.

"You...been watching me?" The silver eye women asked, causing the red eye women to take a deep sigh.

"Ever since you been hunted down by Salem, I've been doing my best to throw that monster off your trail." Raven explained, causing Summer to blink a few times.

"Now that I think about it. There were times when Salem didn't found me." Summer said in a thoughtful tone of voice, causing Raven to nod her head.

"I became shock when I still felt your bond still intact after the attack connected. Where did you end up?" Raven asked, causing Summer to gain a slight confuse look on her face.

"You didn't look?" Summer asked, causing Raven to shake her head.

"No. I was more focus on getting you out of danger to look." Raven replied, causing Summer to take a deep breath.

"I'm not exactly sure where I was, but I overheard someone calling it Magano. It's where I meet this little fella." Summer explained, looking down at the fox Faunus in her arms, still sleeping.

"Magano...Never heard of a place." Raven said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"There's something else you should know, Raven." Summer said, causing the red-eyed women to raise an eye-brow.

"Before finding the child, I was attacked by a monster called a Kagare. A monster that I only defeated by using my silver eye powers. My weapon was completely useless against it." Summer explained, causing Raven to gain a slightly shock expression on her face.

"A monster...that can only be defeated by a silver eye warrior." Raven muttered under her breath.

"I'm pretty sure that a Kagare can be defeated by other methods though." Summer suggested, causing Raven to nod her head. However, it was then that Raven realized something.

"You said you heard someone saying these names. There were others?" Raven asked, causing Summer to nod her head.

"Yes. They mentioned the names during their conversation." Summer replied before a thought entered the white-cloak huntress's head.

"I think that they have a method to travel into Magano." Summer said, causing Raven to raise an eye-brow.

"Are your sure about this?" Raven asked, causing Summer to nod her head slightly.

"I think so. One of them did mention that there is a barrier surrounding Magano." Summer replied, causing Raven to nod her head. However, it was then that Raven realize something.

"Why didn't you asked them to take you back to Remnant?" Raven pointed out, causing Summer to gain a sheepish expression on her face.

"Don't know...I was spying on their conversation in the first place. So, for me to suddenly appear will make them suspicious...and it does look like that I was being rude in the first place." Summer replied sheepishly, causing Raven to sigh slightly whilst shaking her head.

"Always the cautious one. Aren't you, Summer?" Raven said and the red eye women started to smirk when Summer began to pout.

"Well. It's better than running head first into situation rather than going around it." Summer pointed out, causing Raven to shrug her shoulders.

"It makes the job done quicker." Raven said, causing Summer to give her a deadpan expression.

"And this is why we are known as the biggest trouble-makers back at Beacon." Summer said, causing her former Beacon partner to chuckle slightly.

"True." Raven said before focusing her attention onto the fox Faunus.

"So, what are you planning on doing with the Faunus?" Raven asked, causing the silver eye women to hum slightly as she looked down at the sleeping fox Faunus.

"Well, I could adopt him. I'm sure that Ruby and Yang will be happy to have a brother." Summer replied before looking up to see Raven with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"...What?" Summer asked, creeped out slightly.

"Summer. You're already a mother and a step-mother, you're not planning on becoming a foster-mother as well?" Raven asked, causing Summer to smile.

"YeP." The white-cloak huntress replied, causing Raven to sigh slightly.

"I don't want to think about the reaction Tai and Qrow will have. You been missing for nine months, presumed dead, coming back will be a shock for the both of them, bringing back a child you're planning to adopt will make them have a heart-attack." Raven explained, causing Summer to chuckle slightly.

"Yeah. That will be funny to watch." Summer said, causing Raven to face palm.

"You're missing the point." Raven muttered before a thought enter her head.

"Summer, may I see what sort of soul this boy has?" Raven asked, causing Summer to raise an eye-brow. The silver eye women knew what Raven is referring to. By partially activating her Semblance, Raven could tell what sort of personality a person has by looking at their soul.

"...Okay." Summer replied before holding the fox Faunus out to Raven. the red eye women's hand started to glow red slightly before placing it on the fox Faunus's chest.

Raven's eyes suddenly widen as she quickly removes her hand away from the fox Faunus.

"Raven! what's wrong?" Summer asked in alarm.

"There's...something possessing the...boy." Raven replied in a slightly shaky tone of voice. Summer's own eyes widen.

"What do you mean?" Summer asked, becoming concerned slightly.

"There's another soul within this Faunus." Raven explained, causing Summer to frown slightly.

"What sort of soul is possessing the child?" Summer asked, causing Raven to take a deep breath.

"From what I could tell. Powerful and...pure, like your silver eyes...or even greater. " Raven replied, causing Summer to become relieved slightly.

"That good news then. Glad it isn't an evil soul." Summer said, however, Raven gain a slightly serious expression on her face.

"Summer. If your planning on adopting this child. Then you need to keep a close eye on him. The power that this other soul is producing will gain attention if it is found out." Raven explained, causing Summer to nod her head, also having a serious expression on her face.

"I better get going. Good luck with your reunion." Raven said before drawing her weapon, a katana with a red blade, Raven's signature blade, before cutting the air, causing a deep red portal to come into existence.

"Bye then." Summer said as Raven walked into the portal before the portal disappeared. A part of Summer became disappointed that Raven decided to leave instead of coming with her.

"Oh well. It's Raven's choice." Summer thought before looking down at the fox Faunus.

"We better get going as well and into the warmth. You must be freezing." Summer said to the fox Faunus before heading towards the wooden house, thinking of what sort of reaction her family will have when they see her and the fox Faunus.


Unfortunately, the house is completely silent when Summer entered the house. "Where is everybody. Are they asleep?" Summer thought as she place her front door key away (Summer doesn't know how she not managed to loose them whilst being chase by Salem).

"Better place the fox Faunus in the spare room." Summer thought before heading upstairs and headed towards the spare bedroom. The white-cloak huntress silently walked across the hallway before entering the spare bedroom.

"Good night, little one." Summer said in a quiet tone of voice as she tucked the fox Faunus into the bed before heading out of the spare bed-room.

"Now, where should I'll sleep?" Summer thought with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I'm pretty sure that there is another spare bedroom." Summer thought, trying her best to remember the layout of the house. She started to make her way towards the other spare bedroom before stopping at a particular door.

A smile appeared on the silver eye women's face. "I defiantly need to say good night to Ruby and Yang." Summer thought before entering the sibling's bedroom. However, Summer became confused when she saw that both bed are empty.

"Where are they? Did they, Tai and Qrow went off on a trip or something?" Summer thought confusedly before noticing that the beds looked like they been slept in and the occupant decided to leave the bed in a mess.

"Where are the children?" Summer thought as she walked towards the window and looked out of it.

As the white-cloak huntress stared at the snowy ground, she notices that there are tracks on the ground.

"Hm? What do we have here?" Summer asked herself as she looked at the tracks.

"Well. Won't find any answers if I stay here." Summer thought before starting to head towards the front door. However, she frowned slightly when saw was about to descend the stairs.

"Hmmm. I'm pretty sure that the fox Faunus will be fine by himself. Is asleep anyway." Summer thought before continuing to head towards the front door.


"Where are these tracks heading?" Summer thought as she followed the tracks through the gently falling snow. It was then that she started to see someone in the distance.

"Is that what causing the snow tracks?" Summer thought as she starting to notice a red-cart.

"I need to get closer." Summer thought before increasing her walking speed and activate her Semblance, becoming camouflaged. When the silver eye women saw the person pulling the cart, her eyes widened.

"Yang?!" Summer exclaimed in her head recognizing the long golden hair of her step-daughter.

"Why is she doing out here? It's past her bed-time." Summer thought, remembering to give Yang a good talking to when they arrive back at the house.

However, it was then that Summer's boot made a slightly loud crunching sound, causing the silver eye women to freeze slightly. Yang's head quickly turned around in that Summer is.

"Hello! Is there anybody there?" Yang called, her lilac eyes scanning around nervously. It was then that soft noise from the cart is heard.

"Yang? Why is it cold?" A sleepy voice asked, one that Summer recognized, causing her to become wide eyed.

"And Ruby?! what is going on here?" Summer asked herself with a shock expression on her face.

"It just your imagination, Ruby. go back to sleep, we're near our destination." Summer head Yang said to the sleepy Ruby.

"Okay." Ruby said before closing her eyes and falling back to sleep.

"Just a little longer and we can be a whole family again." Yang said to herself before starting to walk again. However, Summer somehow managed to hear her, causing the silver eye women to gain a confused look on her face.

"What does she mean by a "whole family again"?...Wait! Did Tai tell Yang about Raven?!" Summer exclaimed in her head before becoming confused again.

"So why is Yang taking a trip with Ruby out here then? In the freezing cold neither less." Summer thought before starting to remember something.

"Is she heading towards that shack that me and the rest of team STRQ lived in before building the other house?" Summer thought before frowning slightly.

"Is it even still standing?" Summer asked herself before starting to follow Yang again.

After a while of walking, Summer started to see a shape in the distance. "YeP. I was right." Summer thought before noticing the state of the shack.

"Wow. It's completely in ruins." Summer thought before seeing Yang stopping and staring at the ruined shack.

"No...No. she was supposed to be here" Summer heard Yang said before collapsing onto the ground and started to cry. The silver eye women gained a sad expression on her face.

"Yang must very determined to find Raven." Summer thought sadly before noticing red eyes staring from within the ruined shack.

"Grimm." Summer muttered as her faced changed into a hard steel look whilst drawing Hunter Rose. Beaowolfs started to emerge from the shack, causing Yang to become wide eyed before stumbling backwards into the cart.

"Sis. What's going on?" A sleepy Ruby asked as the Beowolfs started to growl.

"N-Nothing Ruby. J-Just go back to s-sleep." Yang replied in a terrified tone of voice as the Beowolfs started to approach the two sisters.

"We're going to die. We're going to die." Yang repeated in her head as she closed her eyes just as the closes wolf-like Grimm prepared to attack. However, before the Grimm's claw could touch the golden hair girl, a swishing sound is heard as Yang felt something fast passing her. A sword found itself impaled within the stomach of the Grimm.

"Huh?" Yang became confused someone jumped over her, grabbed the impaled sword and cut the Grimm in half.

"Don't you even think about touching my daughters." A voice spoke, causing Yang to open her eyes and saw a white-cloak figure standing in front of her.

"...Mum?" Yang asked in a quiet tone of voice, causing Summer to turn her head and look down.

"Don't worry, Mommy's here." Summer said with a smile on her face before turning her attention back onto the other Grimm.

"Now, then. Let end this." Summer said before charging at the Grimm, Hunter Rose at the ready.

"B-but how?" Yang asked herself as she watch Summer fighting the Grimm.

"Dad said that Mu/Summer was dead. Was she delayed on her mission or something?" Yang thought just as Ruby began to become awake.

"Is that Mum?!" Ruby exclaimed with a shock expression on her face. Yang turned her head with a smile on her face.

"Yes. Yes, it is." Yang said just as Summer finished the last Grimm.

"Heh. I think that was easiest Grimm battle I fought for the last nine months-!" Summer said to herself before feeling something slamming into her. Summer looked down to see a miniature version of herself hugging her.

"Hello, Ruby. Miss me?" Summer said with a smile on her face.

"Where were you Mommy? Daddy said you weren't coming back." Ruby asked and Summer notice that the younger girl's silver eyes are glisten.

"I got hold up. Sorry for keeping you all waiting." Summer replied before picking Ruby up and walked over to Yang.

"Hm? What's with the sad look on your face?" Summer asked, noticing the sad look on the lilac eye girl's face.

"I almost got me and Ruby killed. Are you not angry with me?" Yang asked in a terrified tone of voice.

However, Summer shook her head before crouching down. "No. you just became curious in finding Raven." Summer explained, however, Yang just looked at the ground.

"Come on. We better head back, your father will be worried." Summer said before scooping Yang and placing both her and Ruby into the cart and started to head back to the house.


Taiyang Xio Long wasn't just worried, he was dead worried.

When he came home from work, he had extra paper work to do at Signal Academy, and when he saw that both Ruby and Yang weren't in their beds, he began to panic. He called Qrow and told him what had happened and his fellow Beacon partner said that he will search for them and told Tai and he should stay at the house just in case Ruby and Yang came back to the house by themselves.

"I should have kept a better eye on them." Taiyang thought as he sat at the kitchen table. When Summer didn't return from her mission and presumed dead, he completely shut down and had little response to things around him.

"And who is that Fox Faunus?" Taiyang thought, becoming confuse. before checking on Ruby and Yang, Taiyang notice that the door to one of the spare bed-rooms have been closed, something he hasn't seen before, and when he decided to look into the room, he saw the dark brown hair fox Faunus sleeping in the bed.

"I find out in the morning when he wakes up when Ruby and Yang are safe." Taiyang told himself before starting to hear the front door opening. Quickly scrambling up from his chair, Taiyang rush towards the door.

"Qrow! Did you find...?" Taiyang began to asked but stop when he saw who it was.

"...Summer?" Taiyang asked, staring at the white-cloak huntress who has two sleeping children in her arms.

"Hello, Tai." Summer said with a smile on her face.

"But...how? we thought that..." Taiyang try to asked, but couldn't find the words, causing Summer to giggle at the expression on his face.

"I got delayed on the mission." Summer explained, causing Taiyang to nod his head slightly.

"We should better get the children to bed. I'm feeling sleepy myself." Summer said, causing Taiyang to nod his head quickly.

"Yeah! Sure." Taiyang said before picking Yang off Summer's arms.

"By the way, Summer. Where you the one who put that fox Faunus in the spare bed-room?" Taiyang asked, causing the silver eye women to nod her head.

"YeP! He could be a new addition to the family as well." Summer explained with a smile on her face, causing Taiyang to nod his head calmly.

"I see…..Wait! What!" Taiyang exclaimed with wide eyes, causing Summer to giggle again.


And there we have it, Summer have rescue Yang and Ruby and has been reunited with Taiyang. I hope that you enjoy Raven's appearance and explanation of why she "stayed" with her tribe (Not sure if I made Raven too ooc). Anyway, please review and until next time, everyone.
