We visited Eri almost daily, learning her favorite foods, and things, but not once did she smile. But at the same time me and Deku along with the rest of 1-A were getting ready for the band performance. "I'm really glad that you waited for us on choseing our positions." I smiled at Kyoka as I helped her set up the band gear in the gym. "Between yours and Weiss's music lessons we are moving along great. A duet will make this all the better as I can't dance to save my own life." Mina had tried to teach me to dance... but that hadn't gone very well... at all.

"Well you also have your song, a way to show the other students your home." She smiled. "I can't wait to perform a song from another world."

"Well music across cultures has always existed, a universal language you could say." Tenya said.

"Indeed. Now everyone from the top!" Jiro called out.


Chapter 61: Train Crash

I leaned back in my seat, Nora, Ren, Oscar, Tai and Summer busied them selves as we waited. "Jaune, do you think Team Rwby will be okay?" Nora asked.

"Of course... they are able to handle anything." I said as I looked at my teammate.

Summer looked at us, her one smiled. "Don't worry, so Long as Toshinori, Aizawa and Qrow are with them, nothing will happen."

"Toshinori?" Tai asked.

"All Might, I worked with him a few times." Summer said. "He's the greatest hero to ever live."

"Sounds like you are fond of him." Ozpin said, to which she glared at him.

"Oh, you. Toshinori is a good friend, nothing more. Now let the child have control of his own body." The coldness in her voice caught me off guard.

"Still angry with me?" He asked.

"You are a lying snake Ozpin, now be honest, how dose that relic really work?" She crossed her arms.

"The relic of wisdom answers three questions every one hundred years, but the questions were used up long ago." He said before he glowed and Oscar took control.

"Why don't you trust Ozpin?" Tai asked.

"It's personal." She sighed, "I'm not ready to talk about it. Ozpin is hiding more then just Salem and Maidens from the world. Once we get back to earth, it'll be safe to talk about it."

We nodded, this woman, she was a leader, she knew what she was doing in her ever action. "Summer... can we talk?" I asked as I stood up.

"Okay." We moved to the back of the train car, it was empty except for us. "What is it you want to talk about Jaune?" She asked.

"I... I'm not sure I'm ready to lead my team, and with losing my friend Pyrrha at Beacon, I don't know if I can keep them safe." I looked back at Ren and Nora.

"I know how you feel, but you have to lead, not protect them. They are hunters, they can defend them selves." She said before we heard a loud screech and the train shuddered. "Grimm. Ready to do your job?"

I nodded as everyone grabbed their weapons. We climbed onto the roof of the train to find the two Huntsmen who were hired to protect the train were already fighting.

One of the winged beasts lunged for me. I swung my sword through it's neck before bashing another with my shield. Ren ran past me, his pistol blades rapidly firing into chest of a beast before leaped over him smashing Magnhild into it's skull. Summer stood dead center, her fore arm cross bows launching a volley taking masses of the grimm. One got past that but Tai grabbed in out of the air and tore it open before he kicked another down into the valley. She burst into petals and reformed instantly high above the train, like she had teleported. "THUS KINDLY YOU SHATTER!" Her arms were covered in giant ice dust cannons that fired and froze many of the grimm that shattered when they hit the ground. She landed near the back of the train when the alpha of the pack landed in front of her. "Been a while since I've seen one your size." She remarked as she danced around it's fire breath. Stone blades formed in her hands which she drove into right wing joint and ribs of the beast. It howled in pain as the dust weapons heated up and began to burn it's flesh.

"Fire and stone dust used in unison." Ren said as the creature turned to face us. "And for it not burn her."

"She has been regarded as one of the greatest Huntresses to ever graduate Beacon." Tai said. "She is the strongest person I have ever met."

Summer cut and slashed at the beast before it fell of the back of the train, howling in pain. She turned around and glared at Oscar. "They were looking for something, The Relic most likely, can it attract grimm?" She asked.

Oscar froze for a second before nodding. The two Huntsmen ran up to us. "The Rear guns are damaged." The said.

"Move the civilians as far up as you can, we will cut loose as many cars as we can, Our group will serve as bait to keep as many grimm away from the rest of them, Ren, your semblance is to mask emotions correct? Can you do it for a large group of people?" Summer asked taking charge of the situation.

"Yes, I can." He said.

"Ren. Nora, you know my sisters address, they will help you until we get there." I said.

"Okay, you and Nora go with them. We will stay back. Don't worry about us." She left no room for arguing as the all of us climbed back in the train "Jaune, we need you here because of your ability to heal others. It maybe all that keeps us alive until we reach Argus on foot."

"I understand." I said as people filed past us. Soon it was time. I looked at Ren as he locked the door before the whole train going forward turned grey.

I looked at the clasp holding the train together and swung my sword, cleaving through the metal with all my strength. Our section began to slow down immediately. "Find something to hold onto, we need to give off enough negative emotions to divert the grimm from the train." Summer said as she climbed onto the roof of the train.

"How do you plan on doing that?" Oscar asked.

"I'm going to derail us." Grabbed onto a seat and began to pray. The side of the train next to cliff face glowed orange for a mere second before everything went down hill. Literally.
