HI ETH here, sorry this took to long to update I was working on another story and then I wrote a new one Yada, yada, yada. Anywho here the new Green Rose chapter! Enjoy!

The group from the past watch in horror as Ireland tried to push open the crystal cellar doors while screaming for her parents.

"MOM! DAD! PLEASE LET US OUT!" the green hooded girl begged with tears in her eyes as Whistley tried to pull her away from the cellars doors.

"Ireland, its okay, you're okay, your parents are strong, they'll be okay!" Whistley shouted as he tried to calm Ireland down by holding her in his arms.

"Is it over?" asked little Pyrrha as Shadow and Night held on to her trembling. Whistley looked at Ireland in his arms, she was looking at the cellar doors with a worried expression.

"I'll check, little sister" said Whistley as he took out his sword but before he could do anything Ireland put her hand on his shoulder. Whistley turned to her with a confused expression.

"Just…. Be careful" Ireland warned. Regina and Bella then walked over to their leader and pulled her into a small group hug for comfort. Whistley then used his sword to swing at the cellar doors and after a few failed tries to break them open he turned to Ireland and the others.

"Damn, crystal made from silver eyes is strong , Ireland can you ask Piper here to blast the crap out of it?" asked the white haired boy a little annoyed. Ireland sighed, feeling very worried about her parents as she picked up Piper and placed her in front of the cellar doors.

"Um.. what are they planning on doing?" asked Blake as she, everyone else from the past, and the hologram of future Oscar watched as Ireland in the vision then took out a orange fire dust crystal from her skirt pocket and held it in front of little Piper's face who sniffed the dust crystal before swallowing it in one bite!

"Okay what is that mutt doing?" asked Yang squinting a bit at the hologram of future Oscar, who held up his index finger.

"Wait for it…." he trailed off as he pointed to the vision. Everyone from the past turned to see Piper take a deep breath and…. Breathed fire onto the crystal cellar doors making them brittle enough to break through, which is exactly what Ireland and her team did, while little Pyrrha, Shadow, and Night stayed in the back of the cellar.

"What. Just. Happened?" asked Weiss as she and everyone from the past stared at the vision in shock at what Piper had done to the crystal doors. Oscar from the future chuckled a bit.

"That was Piper's semblance, she can consume dust and shoot it from her breath as a weapon, that one of the many reasons that Ireland takes her on missions with her team" Future Oscar stated and he and the group from the past continued to watch the vision together.

Once the cellar doors were down, Ireland didn't even wait for the smoke to clear as Whistley dosed the flames with his ice glyphs, the green hooded girl just ran straight through, without hesitation with her bow and a bomb arrow ready. And once Ireland was out of the cellar what the green hooded girl and the everyone from the past watching the vision saw made their mouths open with shock.

Ireland screamed.

It was future Oscar and Ruby lying unconscious on the floor with their hands joined and their weapons in their other hand.

"OH MY GODS! MOM, DAD, PLEASE WAKE UP!" Ireland screamed dropping her bow and the arrow and then fell to her knees, trying to desperately wake up her parents.

Whistley and the rest of the group rushed after Ireland and gasped at the sight before them.

"What happened to them?" asked Regina as she put her finger tips to her lips in concern and shock.

"Are they dead- OW!" Shouted Night after Shadow had elbowed him after asking the question while he, his twin, and Pyrrha stayed in the doorway of the crystal clear.

"No, their just asleep, they each have a stable pulse" Whistley replied after feeling both future Oscar and Ruby's wrists.

Ireland sighed in relief.

"Oh, thank goodness- WAIT! Aunt Yang and your parents, their still in my dad's office they could be hurt!" Ireland shrieked.

Bella's, Shadow's, Night's, Whistley's, Pyrrha's, and Regina's eyes widened.

"We have to find them!" Proclaimed Bella, taking her nunchucks from her sides.

"We'll come with you sis" stated Shadow and Night at the same time. Bella turned to her little brothers.

"Are you kidding? No, absolutely not, you two are staying here with Pyrrha in the silver crystal cellar where it's safe!" she stated.

"But we want to help mommy and daddy too!" Whined Shadow.

"Yeah!" agreed Night.

Bella sighed.

"You two are just as stubborn as dad, I-" The girl with the monkey tale started, but was cut off by Regina putting her hand on her shoulder.

"Bella, I don't think they can stay in the cellar, we kinda killed the door so…. I don't think it's safe" stated the black haired girl with a concerned voice.

Bella then stared at her friend with a look of concern that she then looked at her brothers with. Ireland noticed this and bite her lip while looking at her unconscious parents and sighed as she got up from her knees and picked up Piper and held her close.

"I can restore the silver crystal doors with my eyes" said Ireland. The group from the past watching the vision all gave a small gasp, while in the vision Ireland's team, little Pyrrha, Shadow, and Night turned to her with wide eyes.

"Ireland are you sure you can do something that powerful? I mean you said it took your mom years to master making strong crystal with silver eyes" asked Whistley. Ireland bowed her head a bit .

"I've been practicing and training with my mom, she taught me how to make crystal with my silver eyes. Mine aren't as strong as hers but the Grimm still can't touch it and the cellar needs a door so Pyrrha and the twins here can't be sensed by the Grimm, and I'm the only silver eyed warrior here that can do something so I'm the best bet we have" said Ireland. Whistley, Bella, and Regina looked at each other with concerned faces, which confused the group from the past.

"Why do they look so worried, Ireland is a powerful silver eyed warrior like Ruby right?" asked Oscar of the past, looking at the hologram of his future self, who bowed their head.

"Yes, it is true that Ireland is a powerful silver eyed warrior like her mother, I've seen that but she is still learning how to use and control her powers and they don't always work when she wants them to, and it's partly because the power of silver eyes only work in the presents of Grimm" proclaimed the hologram of future Oscar. Everyone from the pasts eyes widened.

"WHAT!?" they all shouted except for Maria who looked away from everyone else trying not to draw attention to herself.

"You mean to tell use we can't use this power to help us fight humans or Faunes?" asked Yang.

"Yes, I'm afraid so, however that's not important right now, now we must finish watching the vision" said future Oscar.

Yang sighed as she and everyone else turned back to the vision.

Whistley then walked up to Ireland.

"But I thought your power only worked in the presence of Grimm" he pointed out.

"Yeah, it does but look over there" stated Ireland as she turned to the side of the long corridor to point a dead beowulf that was slowly turning into smoke and ash.

"Oh, okay carry on then" Proclaimed the white haired boy as he and everyone else stepped aside out of Ireland's way. Ireland then walked past her parents, who were still unconscious but now asleep against the wall. The green hooded girl then whipped away the forming tears in her eyes, turned back to the doorless cellar, and closed her eyes…. And when she opened them silverlight poured from her eyes and as it did the group from the past, especially Ruby, watched in wonder. After the light stopped coming from Ireland's eyes there was a new pair of crystal double doors on the silver crystal cellar.

"Whoa…." everyone form the past breathed in amazement.

"I wonder if I'll ever be able to do something that powerful" Ruby said out loud.

"I think you will" answered Oscar. Ruby turned to him, making the farm boy blush a bit. "B-because I-I mean this is the future" Oscar shuttered.

Ruby smiled at him.

"Thanks Oscar" she whispered.

"Any time" Oscar said while rubbing the back of his neck as he and everyone else turned back to watch the vision.

"Pyrrha, Shadow, Night get in the cellar and stay there until we tell you otherwise, and don't worry Piper will protect you. Whistely, Bella, Regina you guys are gonna put my parents in the cellar, I need a minute to figure this out…." said Ireland with a look of determination on her face. Ruby of the past was speechless for a moment.

"Whoa, Ireland is a pretty great leader" proclaimed the red cloaked girl, feeling very impressed.

"Just like her mother" future Oscar commented with a proud voice and smile. Ruby smiled at the hologram and then turned back to the vision.

"Got it!" Whistley, Regina, and Bella proclaimed as they walked over to the unconscious future Oscar and Ruby.

"Sorry, Professor Pine please let me keep dating Ireland?" begged Whistley as he put professor Pine's cane on his side. Whistley then took out his sword and pointed it at the Professor, and in less than an instant a gravity glyph appeared under future Oscar and lifted him into the air a bit. Whistley then guided the glyph with his sword into the crystal cellar and then gently placed the professor on the ground, after that the white haired boy then walked into the cellar and and then placed future Oscar's cane next to the unconscious man, while Bella grabbed future Ruby's wrists and Regina grabbed her ankles. With that the two carried the huntress and laid her next to her husband with her scythe.

Ireland looked at her unconscious parents with regret and worry.

"It's all my fault" Ireland said to herself as she hugged Piper close. Piper whimpered and licked Ireland's face to comfort her. At the sight of Ireland's distress, Oscar and Ruby of the past cringed. Even though the had only met her at least a few hours ago, they hated seeing Ireland this way and now they knew why…. No parent would ever want their child to be unhappy.

"It's not your fault my daughter, me and your mother were foolish enough to think we'd be able to keep you safe by keeping secrets…. You were right I'm no better than Ozpin once was" proclaimed the hologram of future Oscar bowing his head clearly ashamed of himself.

Oscar of the past walked up to the hologram of his future self.

"Hey, you were trying to keep Ireland safe, even though you didn't do it in the best way, it's the thought that counts. Oz kept secrets because he was afraid of people abandoning or betraying him, but you did it to protect your daughter. There's a huge difference between us and Oz- Oscar started but was cut off by his future self.

"OZPIN KEPT SECRETS TO KEEP OTHERS SAFE AS WELL, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US IS THAT HE DID IT BECAUSE HE FELT THE NEED TO DELIVER JUSTICE TO THE WEAK, WHERE AS I KEPT SECRETS OUT OF THE LOVE ME AND MY WIFE HAD FOR OUR DAUGHTER!" the hologram shouted causing everyone from the past to flince back. Oscar of the future then took a breath.

"I'm sorry, I- I just hate seeing my daughter in such a state" he proclaimed.

"Wait then why didn't you turn into a hologram when all of this was going on?" asked Qrow, the hologram of future Oscar turned to him.

"I wanted to, believe me if I could I would've done that, but my spirit needed time, weather I liked it or not, to process what had happened to perform the the spirit projection spell. And before anyone asks, unfortunately this spell only works on the one performing it" he said. Yang then sighed and went up to future Oscar.

"Yang?" Ruby questioned.

The blonde huntress didn't say a word for almost a minute.

"I made a promise as my future self, and that was to protect your daughter whenever necessary and whenever I could. I may not have made that promise yet since I'm from the past, but it's a promise I'll make eventually and even now I plan on keeping it so I so I forgive you for being the somewhat cause of this bad future and to show you that I mean that I will protect your daughter- no! I'll protect my niece, my future niece anyway I can" Yang vowed.

The hologram of future Oscar started at Yang and then smiled.

"Thank you, Yang" he said as he and everyone form the past then turned back to the vision.

Whistley turned when he heard Ireland blame herself as she looked at her unconscious parents in the crystal cellar, and walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, they're gonna be okay, we'll fix this. But first we need to find the rest of our parents and find out how to stop Salem and this time we'll stop her for good" He assured.

Ireland turned to head to the white haired boy with tear stains on her face.

"Why don't you blame me? This is my fault and after all my father told you and everyone else in his office before we came down here before Salem's spell wave hit, you have to believe that, and now the only two people who can stop this Grimm queen are unable to do it! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" Ireland shouted and with that, Whistley pulled Ireland into a hug while Piper started to lick his face in between them.

"Ireland, listen to me this is not your fault and do you know why? It's because you didn't know, you didn't know what was in that silver crystal fortress or that ern, so it's not your fault and you didn't even mean for this to happen so, Its. Not. Your. Fault." stated Whistley drawing the last words very clearly.

Ireland sniffled and buried her face in Whistley's armored chest. Bella, Regina, Pyrrha, Shadow, and Night then came over and formed a group hug around the two. After a moment the group broke the hug and Ireland whipped away the remains of her tears.

"Okay, now what?" asked Night. Ireland then turned to him, Shadow and Pyrrha.

"Now, you three are going to stay in the crystal cellar, and keep the doors locked. And like I said, Piper will be with you so you'll be safe and I'll give you my dust crystals so if anything happens you'll know what to do, and also I need you to keep an eye on my parents. If they wake up then come and find the rest of us" Ireland ordered. Piper then whimpered as her mistress put her down in front of the three children.

Ireland sighed and gave a small smile to her puppy.

"Oh Piper, I know you want to come with me, but I need you to take care of these three" said Ireland looking at Pyrrha, Shadow, and Night. Piper then gave a bark before getting up on her hind legs, putting her front paws on Ireland's bent knees, and licked the green cloaked girl's face.

Ireland smiled at her dog again.

"Good girl" prompted Ireland as she picked Piper up and put her in little Pyrrha's arms. "Stay strong you three we'll find your parents, I promise" she said to the three kids.

"We'll be okay Ireland, we're safe as long as Piper's here" said Pyrrha with a smile, making Ireland smile as well.

"Okay here are my dust crystals, do you know how to use them?" asked the green cloaked girl, handing Pyrrha a pack of colorful dust crystals. The blonde haired little girl gave a Ireland a dull expression.

"I'm the daughter of Weiss Schnee, the woman who "Owns" the Schnee dust company I have to know" stated Pyrrha.

"WHAT!" shouted Weiss of the past with wide eyes as the hologram of future Oscar nodded.

"Yes you managed to get your brother out of the company and by that I mean he was arrested like your father and they'll stay in prison for life" he stated.

Weiss was speechless as everyone turned back to the vision.

"Good point" Ireland said to Pyrrha.

"We better get moving if we want to find our parents" said Bella as she walked past Ireland and Pyrrha and hugged her brothers. "Stay safe, please…" she said to Shadow and Night as they hugged their big sister back.

"We'll be okay, just find mommy and daddy, and you stay safe too" begged Shadow.

"Yeah, please" replied Night as Bella pulled from the hug.

"I will" she said as she walked her brothers into the cellar. Whistley noticed this and walked over to Pyrrha and hugged her close after kneeling down to her height.

"Stay with Shadow, Night, and Ireland's parents. And finally don't put yourself in danger, understand?" asked the white haired boy.

Pyrrha hugged her brother after putting Piper down beside her.

"Don't worry I'll be okay big brother, but promise me you'll be safe too okay?" said the blond haired girl. Whistley pulled out of the hug to look at his sister.

"I promise I will be" he proclaimed as Pyrrha then turned to Ireland and hugged her close.

After saying their "Goodbyes" and "Be safes" team IWBR locked the crystal cellar doors with Pyrrha, Shadow, Night, Piper, and Ireland's parents inside. The team then looked to their leader for instructions.

"Okay babe, what now?" asked Whistely as he had his shield on his arm and his sword in his hand.

Ireland turned to him with a bit of blush on her cheeks.

"First of all, please don't call me that unless we're alone and second two of us will head to my dad's office, that's where your parents are since mom and dad wanted them to keep the tower from falling in case any giant grimm showed up like another dragan grimm, and if the tower fell, all of the huntsmen, huntresses, and students guarding the front of the school which had all of the rest of the kingdom inside of it, would have been crushed, so in that case Regina, you and I will head to my dad's office to find everyone's parents. Bella, Whistley you two will head to the front of Beacon to see if all of the huntsmen, huntresses and students are okay. If any of us find anything wrong or suspicious then we'll call everyone else on our scrolls, got it?" asked Ireland after giving out orders.

"Got it! Let's go Bella" said Whistley.

"Right!" proclaimed Bella taking out her nunchucks and started to follow Whistley towards the elevator at the front of the vault, but before they stepped onto the elevator Whistley and Bella turned back to Regina and Ireland who look at them with a little bit of confusion. Whistley and Bella then ran towards their teammates and hugged them close in a group hug.

"Stay safe okay?" said Bella

"We will, we're a team remember?" Ireland smiled.

"Right!" the group said together.

Ruby from the past smiled at the scene.

"Ireland really cares about her teammates" she observed.

"You know what they say; like mother like daughter" stated Maria. Ruby smiled at her but it soon became a frown.

"How are me and Oscar gonna talk about this? I mean we're still getting to know each other, and suddenly we find out we're going to have a daughter and be married, how can we ever face each other the same way again?" Ruby thought to herself glancing at Oscar and then back at the vision.

After team IWBR's hug, the vision flipped showing the young team in the Beacon headmaster's office. Ireland sat at her father's desk, Whistley was leaning against the wall behind Ireland, Regina was sitting on the edge of the desk, and Bella sat on the floor on then other side of the desk. The whole team seemed to be in deep thought.

"What's going on…. What happened?" asked Blake.

"When my daughter and her team found everyone they were all in a deep sleep like me and my wife and they couldn't be woken up" said the hologram of future Oscar.

"Do you really think the school's vault is a safe enough place for everyone in the kingdom?" asked Bella standing up and looking at Ireland who sighed.

"There's no safer place in the kingdom then that vault that what dad said, so it the best place we have right now, and even if there was a safer place it took us three days to get the whole kingdom in there and I don't think I can put silver eyed crystal over every wall, ceiling, and floor of another large place all at once for a while" stated Ireland.

"Yeah, and I almost passed out using my glyphs too much" added Whistley.

"Okay fine, to heck with moving everyone, but why did Salem put everyone in some kind of deep sleep instead of killing them?" asked Regina.

Ireland frowned.

"Because she's planning something else for the human race and she's buying herself some time so no one will go against her" she said. The rest of her team looked at each other.

"How do you know that?" asked Bella.

"I don't" replied Ireland. "I'm taking an educated guess, my parents told me more than a few things about Salem, that she's clever, that she has sneaky ways of getting what she wants…. I have an idea, I have to go to the two people who know Salem better than the rest of us" said Ireland.

"Who?" asked Whistley.

Ireland's answer then made everyone from the past eye's grow wide.

"The gods of light and darkness"

HI ETH here I'm sorry for taking so long with this, but anywho see you next time I hope you enjoyed!
