Qrow Brawen was one of the best huntsmen in the world, he was also sometimes a womanizer. But the few that knew truly knew him saw that he was a man who cared for those around him, he cared most for his nieces, both meant so much to him. That's why he regretted today...

Qrow was at a local bar, he was resting here since Ruby and her friends went off, luckily he also had some news for Ozpin if he could find him. The Grimm Kid, Saffron's younger brother, was alive. Ozpin had Informed him about the kid, and if he was anything like Saffron, then Qrow knew not to take the kid lightly. Ozpin told him the kid was smart and was skilled with a sword as much as he was. However, Qrow was skeptical of the kid's alliance. He could have been working with the Fall Maiden and the Queen, but the kid proved he was somewhat on their side after killing the Grimm cult, which Qrow knew was being manipulated by Salem. Qrow was sitting at a table when a waitress handed him a drink

"I didn't order this" Qrow told her

"No, it complements from the two ladies upstairs" the waitress replied

Qrow looked at the drink and then looked to the upstairs of the establishment, no one was up there, but he knew who most likely was up there. Qrow took the drink and walked upstairs, when he got there he thought he knew who to expect, but he was wrong. He sat at the table. One of the faces was very familiar while the other was unfamiliar.

"I wasn't expecting you to be here if your dad found out he would kick your ass," Qrow said

There was no reply

"How have you been firecracker?"

On the other end of the table was the older sister of Ruby Rose. Yang Xiao-Long. She was different. She wore a brown leather jacket with black jeans and brown boots. Under the jacket was a yellow sports bra with her emblem on it, but next to it was a wing, her mother's emblem.

"I didn't come here to talk about me. Mom sent me here to ask you a few questions" Yang replied

Qrow scoffed, "never thought I'd see the day where you listen to her"

"I'm listening to her because she's the only one telling me the truth!" Yang cried "she told me everything! About Ozpin! About Salem! About the Relics! All of it!" Yang yelled

"You have to understand, we-"

"Ozpin used my team to find information! He used us because he knew he could! Just like he did with you!'" she yelled

"Ozpin never used me" Qrow replied

"Think whatever you want Uncle Qrow! But Ozpin and Ironwood are responsible for the Fall as well as the Breach! Which got Jaune killed!"

Qrow took a sip of his drink, "you're talking about the Grimm Kid?" Qrow asked "hate to tell you this kid, but he's alive"

Yang looked at him with a shock expression but she shook her head, "your lying! Jaune is dead!" Yang yelled

"Well then it must be another blonde haired guy that can turn into Grimm," Qrow said, "Maybe look for your sister, she's here ya know?"

Yang was shocked, "what is Ruby doing here!?"

"She's looking for Cinder, thinks there are clues at Haven" Qrow replied

"Does she know about Salem? What about Ozpin? Have you told her anything!?" Yang cried

Qrow shook his head, "no, she doesn't know about this" Qrow replied

Yang felt relief, and Qrow took another sip of his drink. He looked to his nieces and shook his head.

"Why are you here Yang? What are you with Raven? Don't you wanna help Ruby and your friend Blake?" Qrow asked

Yang looked him dead in the eye, "I am helping them! I'm getting stronger!"

"By abandoning your friends?" Qrow asked

"I need to defend myself! I'm weak right now!" Yang cried

"Weak? Is that what Raven called that?" Qrow said pointing at Yang's robotic arm

Yang grabbed her robotic arm and looked at Qrow with anger, her eyes turning Red, "I was weak I let him cut my Arm off! If I was stronger I would have rescued Blake and killed Adam!" Yang yelled

"You weren't weak Yang, you were just emotional and angry, and the anger got the better of you" Qrow replied

Yang shook her head, "I'm leaving Uncle" Yang said

"Don't you want to see Ruby?"

Yang stopped in her tracks. Qrow noticed this and saw the other girl with her walk to Yang.

"I'll give you her location if you want to see her," Qrow told her

No response

"Come one Vernal, were leaving," Yang said

Yang and the girl, Vernal, left the balcony and left threw the front door. Qrow then pulled out his scroll and sent Ruby's location to Yang's contact. He hoped that Yang would see Ruby and see that Jaune kid as well. Qrow just needed to make sure someone else was safe.

Atlas, it was a country that was very broken, the people of Mantle were the ones that hated their government the most, not to mention the military has become somewhat more strict. This was all because of General James Ironwood. He has become somewhat paranoid since the fall of Beacon. Now he was more paranoid since he received a letter from headmaster Lionheart, it said that Jaune Grimm was still alive.

James was shocked as well as furious. A student had faked his own death, he may have even had a part in the fall of Beacon. He couldn't let someone who was a strong as Salem live or even work for her, but he also needed to take out Saffron. If the two came into contact and if Saffron decided to help her brother to defeat the circle then he needed to kill them for extra measures, however, he just needed to plan out his Attack.

Weiss had walked into his office dressed in an Atlas Uniform, "you wanted to see me, headmaster?" Weiss asked

Ironwood nodded, "I have a secret mission for you Weiss, one that no one can no about, not even your sister," Ironwood told her

"and what is it?" Weiss asked with worry

"I want you to head to Mistral and go to Haven academy and wait for a certain group of students to arrive," Ironwood told her "and I'm sure you'll be excited to see them again," Ironwood said with a faint smile

"what do you mean sir?" Weiss asked

"You'll be seeing Ms. Rose and Ms. Belladonna along with Ms. Valkyrie and Mr. Ren," James told her

he could see Weiss perk up with joy, he couldn't blame her, she had been seen mostly working within the academy and never hanging out with anyone else, "there's something else you should know..." Ironwood began

Weiss nodded, "what is it, sir?" Weiss asked

"it appears Jaune Grimm is alive," Ironwood said he saw the shock in her eyes even if her face didn't show it

"listen to me, I need you to spy on him, as much as I don't want to believe it he fake his death for a reason, and I want to know why and why he is traveling with your friends as well, Do you understand your mission, Ms. Schnee?" Ironwood asked

"I understand sir, but if intentions are not what you expect, then what should I do?" Weiss asked

"I will decide that, but I must tell you that if he does anything suspicious let me know as well as any of your other friends," Ironwood said

Weiss nodded

"good" Ironwood replied "I'll be sending you there tomorrow"

Weiss nodded and left, she left with a happy heart, she couldn't wait to see her old friends, even Jaune, and she wondered how Blake was doing now that Jaune was actually alive, speaking of which, she needed to punch him as soon as he saw him.

Allow me to explain somethings:

Yang is with Raven, while Yang does have mother issues, she doesn't allow them to affect her, but Yang is aware of her issues but she now knows that Raven is a hypocrite, because Raven is afraid of Salem as well as letting anyone close to her. However in this story, Yang is very aware of her mother's fear, but as I said before, I'm making it so you can't trust what people Say or Act.

Weiss story will be another internal conflict for her, it will tear her apart on to stay loyal to her home and her family, or to stay loyal to her friends, but trust me, the ending of both Yangs and Weiss's storylines will not end well for either of them.

Next chapter we are going to see what Jaune is up to as well as learn a little about Arslan.
