What appeared on screen next was not a trailer for Jaune but the moon with Ruby's blacked out silhuette in front of it.
"Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest"
"Bu-But what about us? Where're our trailers?" Nora asked starting to tear up a bit.
"Why are we listening to this again? We've already heard this song?" Marrow complained not seeing the point in listening to this again.
"Perhaps so we can better understand what the songs are about?" Vine decided to calm down his childish teammate.
"White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test"
"I'm starting to think this song is not about Ruby but her team." Glynda said noticing how the different lines referred to the people on her team, getting nods of agreement.
"Black the beast descends from shadows"
"I think that is not just referring to Blake but also the White Fang." Pyrrha said once she looked at the lyrics more closely.
"Care to explain?" Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow curious as to what she was talking about.
"In Blake's song about the White Fang, there's a line about rising from shadows so I'm guessing that's what this is referring to." Pyrrha explained.
"So it's saying that the White Fang are beasts? Well, they're definitely right about that." Weiss said and while she does kind of trust Blake because she left the White Fang that doesn't mean she trusts other faunus since who knows if they aren't one of those terrorists.
All the faunus in the room felt their anger rising at that comment with Blake really wanting to punch the living daylights out of her but deciding against it since she knew she couldn't do that... at least not when there were people in the room with them.
"Yellow beauty burns gold"
"So they're saying that I'm beautiful? Well, they're right about that." Yang smugly said while resting her hands behind her head in a relaxed position.
"Could you stop being so full of yourself for one minute?!" Weiss angrily said not being able to stand this buffoon anymore.
"Look who's talking, the Ice Queen." Yang sassed back to which Weiss released an indignant "Hey!" which she ignored.
(Ruby)
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
"That's new. Ruby is that your voice?" Yang asked.
"Maybe? I don't know. I never heard this before." Ruby said wondering what this was about and why she would be singing.
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
And suddenly the mood turned somber with everyone figuring out what, or rather who this was about.
(Ruby)
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this
"Oh, Ruby." Tai sighed knowing how much it hurt her when Summer disappeared "If only she could see how much you've grown." he thought. Looking over at his youngest he could see she was about ready to cry while hugging Zwei who was doing everything he could to comfort her.
(Ruby)
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day
Hearing this made Kali think what it would be like for Blake had she passed so soon. Ghira almost as if he knew what she was thinking about wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into a comforting hug.
(Ruby)
It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
"She thinks life is like a fairy tale." Harriet said knowing that she wouldn't go far with that mindset.
"That could be her downfall." Vine said in agreement with Harriet.
"She's still young, she'll grow out of it eventually." Clover assured them knowing that once she went out into the real world everything would change.
(Ruby)
I know you didn't plan this
You tried to do what's right
But in the middle of this madness
I'm the one (I'm the one, I'm the one)
You left to win this fight
(Ruby)
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
"Why does this have to be so depressing?" Nora complained feeling sad and depressed rather than her usual bubbly and playful self.
"Now's not the time Nora." Ren said knowing this was a sensitive subject for some of the people in the room with them.
(Summer)
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
"Mom?" Ruby said her voice barely above a whisper with tears now freely running down her face although everyone in the room still heard with how quiet it was.
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
"Maybe we can finally find out how Summer died." Ozpin said wondering, honestly hoping this song would reveal what happened to Summer.
"Lest's hope so." Qrow said taking a long swig of his flask.
(Summer)
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
(Summer)
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Now I'm nothing but a liar, and you're thrown into the fray
(Summer)
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter
I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
I made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
"What did you do Summer? What sacrifice?" Ozpin muttered under his breath hoping she didn't go to fight Salem.
(Summer)
I know you've lived a nightmare
I caused you so much pain
But, baby, please don't do what I did
I don't want (I don't want, I don't want)
You to waste your life in vain
"D-Did mom not want me to become a huntress?" Ruby asked her dad and uncle.
"No, she didn't. She wanted you to live a normal life rather than waste it fighting grimm." Qrow answered her knowing that Summer would've wanted her to live in a world without grimm.
(Ruby)
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
(Summer)
You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood
(Ruby)
You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would
(Summer)
Would I change it if I could?
(Ruby/Summer)
It doesn't matter how
The petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
By this point, most people were either crying or getting teary-eyed at hearing the mother and daughter duo sing.
(Ruby)
And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you
(Ruby)
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
Once the song was finished everyone decided it would be best to take a short break before the next viewing.
The blacked out silhuette of Weiss in what seems to be a concert hall appeard on the screen.
Mirror, tell me something
Tell me who's the loneliest of all?
Mirror, tell me something
Tell me who's the loneliest of all?
Mirror, what's inside of me
Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?
"Was it really that bad?" Ruby asked Weiss.
"It was. I basically lost my entire family because of my father except for Winter but she's not really around that much." Weiss answered sadly looking over at Winter.
"What about your mom?" Ruby asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"She just drinks most of the time, it's almost like she isn't here at all anymore." Weiss said not even trying to hide the sadness in her voice at this point.
"Well, we have something in common then." Ruby said a bit tearfully referring to her mother.
"I guess we do." Weiss said with the smallest of smiles on her face.
Mirror, mirror, what's behind you?
Save me from the things I've seen!
I can keep it from the world
Why won't you let me hide from me?
Willow was horrified. She knew things were bad and that her husband treated her children terribly, she just never expected it to be this bad. Looking over she could see Weiss having a conversation with Ruby and looking a lot happier than before and maybe a bit annoyed. Maybe things weren't so bad after all.
Mirror, mirror, tell me something
Who's the loneliest of all?
I'm the loneliest of all
The blacked out silhuette of Blake sitting on a rock in forever fall appeard on the screen.
"Time for Blake's song." Kali said.
"Actually this one was more about the White Fang rather than Blake." Ghira said sounding a bit bitter when talking about the White Fang.
Born with no life into subjugation
Treated like a worthless animal
Stripped of all rights, just a lesser being
Crushed by cruel ruthless human rule
When it started
All we wanted was a chance to live our lives
"They just want to live in peace." Ruby quietly said to herself.
"If they really wanted to live in peace they should have stuck to peaceful protests." Weiss who heard what she said replied a bit harshly.
Now in darkness
Taking everything we want and we will rise
We'll rise, we'll rise
From shadows
We'll descend upon the world
Take back what you stole
From shadows
We'll reclaim our destiny
Set our future free
And we'll rise
And we'll rise
"That does not bode well." Vine said seeing where this was heading.
"It sounds like they're planning a revolution or an all-out war." Clover shuddered at the thought of another great war breaking out.
"Don't be ridiculous, they wouldn't do something like that. It would just make their situation worse than it already is." Winter dismissed that idea.
Above the darkness and the shame
Above the torture and the pain
Above the ridicule and hate
Above the binding of our fate
"I'm guessing that's referring to Adam." Qrow pointed out.
"What do you mean?" Tai had no idea what Qrow was talking about.
"I just feel like he's hiding something under that grimm mask and I think this has something to do with that." Qrow said thinking about what Adam's hiding.
Call us liars, degenerates and killers
Psychos, heartless, insane criminals
Stupid mutts and nothing but pure evil
Primal, bloodshed, that's all that's left to do
"Well, becoming terrorists certainly didn't help with that now did it." Weiss quietly muttered to herself angrily but Ruby and Blake still heard. While Ruby was curious about what her problem was Blake was seething.
We're misguided
Treated us like we're criminals and we should hide
Born indicted
Tired of being pushed around and we will fly
We'll fly, we'll fly
From shadows
We'll descend upon the world
From shadows
We'll reclaim our destiny
"Misguided, yeah right." Weiss scoffed with a scowl on her face.
"Why do you hate the White Fang so much?" Ruby asked.
"I have my reasons. It's personal, look I really don't want to talk about it." Weiss added that last part when Ruby raised an eyebrow quickly ending the conversation.
The blacked out silhuette of Yang walking into Junior's club appeared on the screen.
Come at me and you'll see
I'm more than meets the eye
You think that you'll break me
You're gonna find in time
You're standing too close to a flame that's burning
Hotter than the sun in the middle of July
Sending out your army, but you still can't win
Listen up, silly boy, 'cause I'm gonna tell you why
"That's got to be a reference to her semblance." Tai said with full confidence.
"What is her semblance?" Penny asked curiously.
"It's Burn. It lets her absorb damage and dish it out twice as hard. It's basically a temper tantrum." Tai said laughing his ass off and only laughing harder when he heard an offended "Hey!" from his daughter while some chuckled at the exchange between the two.
I burn!
Can't hold me now
And you're not stopping me
I burn!
Swing all you want
Like a fever, I will take you down
"Well, she certainly took down Junior and his cronies." Multiple people thought thinking back to the fight she had in the club.
Reign supreme? In your dreams
You'll never make me bow
Kick my ass? I'm world-class
And Super Saiyan now
You're starting up a fight that you just can't finish
Watch the little hearts while they scrape you off the floor
Bringing out your rockets? Well, shoot 'em up, baby
High as you can go, but I'm the one who's gonna soar
"She sure is confident in her abilities." Ren calmly said focusing on analyzing the lyrics.
"Let's hope that doesn't grow into overconfidence." Pyrrha said worried that Yang would pick a fight she can't win.
I burn!
Can't hold me now
And you're not stopping me
I burn!
Swing all you want
Like a fever, I will take you down
It doesn't have to be this way
Let's kiss and make up, then you'll learn
You can fight your life away
I get what I want, so don't bother and just watch me burn
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Tai whispered to Qrow.
"Why? What are you worried about?" Qrow asked him.
"I don't know. I just have this feeling like something is going to happen." Tai explained.
Hotter than the sun, feel my fire
Pyromaniac, my desire
Thought that you could see the truth
'Til I just burned down the booth
Human Torch, can't mess with me
Johnny Blaze: Suspect B
Scorch 'em quick, lightning fast
Melt them britches down to ash
Gasoline, kerosene
Strike a match, ignite the scene
Things will never be the same
Feel the fury of my flame
Beg for mercy, it won't help
Embrace the ending you were dealt
Seems you chumps will never learn
Now sit back and watch me burn
"That's... dark. Very dark." Jaune said even more afraid of Yang than before.
"Good to know she's not that different from me." Raven thought with a smirk on her face.
I burn!
Can't hold me now
And you're not stopping me
I burn!
Swing all you want
Like a fever, I will take you down
I burn!
Can't hold me now
And you're not stopping me
I burn!
Swing all you want
Like a fever, I will take you down
"I guess that's it for the songs-"
A picture of Ruby swinging Caresent Rose appeared on the screen.
"-or not." Tai finished lamely.
They see you as small and helpless
They see you as just a child
Surprised when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild
"She definitely is a warrior if what we've seen is anything to go by." Ironwood said getting nods of approval from most people.
"She's still got a long way to go." Raven thought.
Prepare for your greatest moments
Prepare for your finest hour
The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower
"What is that about?" Oscar asked the soon-to-be huntress.
"Well, my dream is to become a huntress, but I still have to wait two years for that." Ruby said sounding a bit sad that she had to wait so long.
"I don't think you'll have to wait that long." Ozpin thought amusedly.
We are lightning
Straying from the thunder
Miracles of ancient wonder
"That must be a reference to Ruby's eyes." Ozpin, Qrow, Tai, and Raven all thought at the same time.
This will be the day we've waited for
This will be the day we open up the door
I don't wanna hear your absolution
Hope you're ready for a revolution
Welcome to a world of new solutions
Welcome to a world of bloody evolution
"The revolution part has to be directed at the White Fang, no doubt about it." Clover said remembering what he said earlier.
"There's going to be a war. The question is between who will it be?" Raven said darkly sending shivers down a few people's spines.
In time, your heart will open minds
A story will be told
And victory is in a simple soul
Your world needs a great defender
Your world's in the way of harm
You want a romantic life, a fairytale that's full of charm
"Being a huntress is a job most importantly." Harriet said sternly.
"Don't be such a buzzkill Hare." Marrow said only to receive an eye roll in return.
Beware that the light is fading
Beware as the dark returns
This world's unforgiving, even brilliant lights will cease to burn
Legends scatter
Day and night will sever
Hope and peace are lost forever
"That doesn't sound good." Glynda said worriedly.
"It seems terrible things will happen in the future." Ozpin said ominously not easing anyone's worries.
This will be the day we've waited for
This will be the day we open up the door
I don't wanna hear your absolution
Hope your ready for a revolution
Welcome to a world of new solutions
Welcome to a world of bloody evolution
In time, your heart will open minds
A story will be told
And victory is in a simple soul
Before anyone could say anything there was a blinding light and six more people appeared in the room with them.
