Authors Note: I'm happy to announce that a fan of the story has reviewed it and added it to the RWBY Fanon Wiki found on the Fandom website. Credit is due, as I couldn't make this myself with the little time I have, and his username is DuHassJr. I've worked with him to provide some extra facts for trivia and things I may have forgot to mention in story. If you want to know things like that and a little better character descriptions, arguably, I recommend reading it. With the stories addition to the Wiki, I have to start following some rules of it in this story to keep it there. This doesn't change any pre-established plot points or character looks, as I intended to go along with canon, making the rules something I already followed instinctively. He may have recommended it but I've been reading some of the Fanon Wiki's and this chapter will be the first time I use something from there. DuHassJr has agreed to take ownership over the Wiki, so if anyone else wishes to make changes to it, you'll have to ask him. It's honestly relieving to have some rules to follow, but, ignoring that, it's time to finish the Beacon Saga with chapter 17!

Their last year had gone by quite fast. It seemed that JULI would approach graduation faster than they though, and most of them were worried about the final. June, even though she kept her cool expression, was also a little concerned. She was used to unexpected outcomes but she was still worried her about her teammates. They were all great in battle and they were pretty good at their classwork, so there wasn't any reason to worry. However, she still worried about them. To resemble a Hunters unpredictable career, the finals would be random and could be either an exam, a mission of some sort, or a mix of both depending on the mission and exam. Most of the time, danger ratings, or shortened to DR-#, are not high enough on missions to bypass an exam portion, but there have been cases where a horde of DR-3 Grimm have been classified as low DR-4, which would make an exam unnecessary. Nearing the second semesters end, it was seeming that JULI would have no mission. However, a week before the exam would be taken, something had alerted perimeter and long range radars off the coast of the island of Patch. It was realized to be a Grimm force, as scouting airships were sent to investigate. With scouting done and a DR-4 determined, the force would be at Patch in two days. Although not recommended by the council, forces of Hunters were spread out thin, so Ozpin had picked JULI for the job. Asking Atlas for military support had been brought up too; however, a force of airships wouldn't make it in time, and STRQ wasn't chosen because of Taiyangs attachment to the island, as Ozpin assumed that he'd want to stay with his family when they would evacuate and settle down temporarily because they were on the half of the island being evacuated. JULI would be forced to hold off the invasion in the most northern coast of patch, as it was a relatively small area and JULI would be able to cover it well. If any other Grimm were to stray off there would be extra Hunters spread out, thinly at that, making them too far to assist JULI if it was needed. The force still had some unknowns but in the worst case JULI could send a request for help from the other Hunters, and the help of a small fleet of outdated airships Vale would use as a last resort. JULI was brought to the island of Patch the night before the invasion.

The team and Hunters assembled for the job would stay in an encampment located fourteen kilometers from where JULI would be placed. Since the camp was improvised, it was nothing but tents containing everything they would need for tomorrow. Storage tents held the dust and rations, there were tents that the Hunters would stay in over the night, and pre-manufactured landing pads for the airships that would constantly come and go. Ozpin had personally came to the camp to provide mission briefing to them all. "Let's make this quick," he started, "you'll all certainly need the sleep for tomorrow. The Grimm force in question has evened out as DR-4 and will require the most effort by our backing team, JULI. However, the Hunters spread out further among the coast have an important job of clearing any excess of Grimm straying from the main force. The horde is mainly aerial, consisting of Nevermores, Griffons, and Sphinxes leading some of the Griffons. However, we have used sonar to identify movement underwater. The latest report show these as small, fast moving creatures, but we'll be incapable of taking anymore tests as of tonight to ensure safety of the people manning them." He stopped, and he looked as though he was changing his tone. "I tell you this with the best of intentions," he had started again, but in a more serious tone, "don't let anything personal prevent you for asking for help if needed. We may be stretched out thin, but if something big comes out to surprise us, we need you to report it immediately. I don't think ego is a problem for any of you, I just needed to make myself clear, as we still don't know truly what lies underneath the water." Levi had raised his hand and Ozpin asked what it was, "If we were to run out of dust during the invasion, how would we replenish it." Ozpin had started to answer him, "I was waiting for one of you to ask that. The airships moving between the kingdom and here are setting up a singular tent area close to the shore for a place to restock ammo to JULI. As for the Hunters, I recommend bringing as much as you can as we aren't able to set up dedicated restock areas for you. For JULI, I recommend that some of you conserve ammo while others use more, to make a chain of replacing members restocking and currently fighting." June nodded in agreement, and Ozpin had finished explained everything. He left on an airship, and JULI would get their rest for the next day.

The first signs of the invasion were expected to arrive at 0800, so JULI had gotten up at 0600 in order to get geared up and to be brought to the beachhead. It would take about five minutes of flying to get there, and they were flown in at 0715, giving them time to prepare. The beachhead was a small bay, the water extending no longer than 2000 meters. June had kept the team close to make supporting each other easy, but far enough so Levi and Ino would be able to kill things on the edge of the bay at range. After some time waiting, the first signs of Grimm had started to show. The first wave was small, consisting of a variety of Nevermores and some Griffons that strayed from larger packs. June and Uruclay were forced to use their weapons ranged counterparts in order to do something without waiting for them to get close. Once more Griffons had started to show up, though, the two switched back and would fight the Griffons already landed while Ino and Levi would take care of the other flying creatures. As the larger force had drew near, the signs of what came up underwater were starting to show. June had noticed it first, finding ripples in the water that were farther out, and they weren't caused by anything above the water. She was forced to focus on the current Grimm there, as the first Sphinx had shown up. Unlike the teams first encounter though, and unlike Levi's case, it was dispatched of quickly. It still went down with a fight, though, striking Levi and forcing June to use her semblance for a split second in order to dodge an attack. It was taken out by June disabling it while Levi and Ino had finished it with a hail fire of dust. More Griffons had showed up with the Sphinx and JULI had focused on them after taking out the Sphinx. They continued on holding back the force for a couple minutes before it seemed the forces were getting weaker, but there was a larger Nevermore and some Griffons still waiting in the air. When they had decided to come down to attack, they had singled out June. This was due to a preference the somewhat smarter creatures had over the others, as she had been singled out and closer to the shore than the rest, trying to push some Griffons back to the sea. First, the large Nevermore had landed in between the space separating June from the rest of JULI. It was then followed by the Griffons, who were immediately distinguishable by the more bone white armor they had compared to their counterparts. Her ambush would force her to use the Angeli Cadunt more. Although they landed after the Nevermore, the Griffons charged her first, and she had dodged the attack while hitting two of the Griffons with a flurry of kicks and nun-chuck attacks. After she knocked them back, there was an opening on the Nevermore, which was about to use some of its feathers as projectiles. Before it could do that to her, though, she had sheathed Cadunt and disconnected it from Angeli. She then used the gravity crystal connectors and used it as a form of lasso that attached her to the leg of the Nevermore, then using it to pull herself closer to the bird. It wasn't able to react to the action fast enough, and she was able to get on its back. When it realized what happened, it started to take off and fly sporadically to shake her off. To stay on, June had taken Cadunt, deployed a double-edged knife blade from the bottom, and had stabbed it into the beast. It had recoiled and let out a grunt but had shrugged it off and continued its shaking. She then did the same with Angeli and used the connecting cylinders as a rope to hang on. Then, she started to move the blades of each handle around in attempt to steer it, but it wasn't making a difference at first. To act as a catalyst, she took two electric dust crystals and stabbed them into the Nevermore right next to where Angeli and Cadunt were wedged in. It had immediately made it recoil and she had started to move the crystals with the two blades, which allowed her to steer it like she hoped, though not very accurately. She had started to steer it back towards the shore but the Nevermore tried one more time to shake her off before crash landing. It resisted the pain for a couple seconds and flipped 180 degrees upside down while using its wing feathers to try and hit her. June held on tight and was forced to use her semblance to dodge one of the hits, however, she had been fine and the Nevermore continued downward. After about a couple more seconds of falling, June had taken out Angeli Cadunt and jumped off the bird. Her plan had worked almost perfectly, it being to ram the Nevermore into the group of Griffons. There had been five of them but only two of them had realized something was wrong and flew away. The other three would be killed by the ramming along with the Nevermore. Her eject had led her to be farther down the shore than she already was, as she was now in the water whenever the waves would come up. Before she could start after the remaining two, something had come out of the water and grabbed her. It had surprising speed, being able to grab June before she could use her semblance. It was a Grimm with claws that pierced her skin with her guard down. It then started to pull her into the water, but before it could bring her farther in, she had taken Angeli Cadunt and sliced off its short arm. She had used her semblance to increase its speed, unknowing of how durable the creature was. Thankfully, it seemed it wasn't too durable as it cut through it like butter with only a little use of her semblance. With its arm cut off and injured, the thing retreated back into the water. Once the arm disintegrated, June used her aura to heal it. The encounter had wasted close to five percent of her aura with the use of her semblance and healing her wound. She had ran back more inward, and joined JULI again in clearing the beachfront. When there was some small intermission, she warned the others not to get close to the water, as there was something underneath. They would all listen to her, but it seemed the creatures had more to show. After about ten more minutes of smaller assaults from Griffons and smaller Nevermore, with the occasional Sphinx, the Grimm from before had shown themselves to be amphibious. The first one had jumped out of the water onto the beach, and started to head towards the team. Uruclay would be the first person it would go for, as he was the closest. June was concerned about the encounter, still unsure of its true abilities, but it was slower than the one she encountered before. This led her to think they were faster in water, so she felt more at ease, thinking it wouldn't be able to outrun Uruclay. In the meantime, he had engaged the beast, which had a face similar to an Ursa if it was a little smaller and had a little less teeth. It also had a long body, like a large ferret, but had longer legs and stronger hind legs. It was something that JULI had never seen, so Uruclay wasn't sure if the bone white armor lacing its back was common, or a sign of an older one. He started by going for its head with the Geheimnisvoller Wald's blade. When he got it behind the beast, it had tried biting at his head. Using his left arm and aura, he stopped it from chomping down with his open palm and elbow. Even with aura, doing this to an unknown creature was very risky, but he found that its biting power came from the sharp teeth it had and not jaw strength. When he started to make the motion to cut its head off, though, it rolled over and freed itself from his grasp while knocking Uruclay over. His tanky aura had taken the blow in stride, barely scraping it, but what the beast lacked in strength, it had in speed. It was back on its feet only a couple seconds after it rolled over, and then attacked Uruclay again. Knowing he wouldn't be able to get up in time, he bent his legs and kicked as hard as he could when it got close enough. Although it was longer than it was tall, it had still been sent upward from the blow, giving Uruclay enough time to grab the Wald and get up. In one fell swoop, the weapon had transformed into its rifle counterpart and he fired under its jaw while it was still recovering. Although the rounds were not as large as a sniper round, the bullet had killed the creature, which proved it was relatively weak. He got back up and went back into his position relative to JULI.

Once the second wave had come, it was distinguished from the first in under ten minutes. It became obvious there was more when a small horde of the otter-like Grimm had come out of the water. There had been more Sphinxes than before and peak Nevermores had also shown themselves. JULI was put under major stress, but held out for as long as they could. Levi and Uruclay had found themselves taking on a Sphinx pair, assuring their teammates they could take them as long as they prevented outside interference. After about a ten minute struggle, the pair had killed them off while June and Ino had fended off more of water Grimm and Griffons. The fight hadn't been too taxing but had damaged the duo more than other Grimm in the invasion, with Levi losing ten percent of his aura while Uruclay had lost twelve percent due to taking more hits for Levi. It had been grueling, with all of them losing a little less than half of their aura. June, however, had managed to keep hers around 85 percent, as she wasn't pressured to use her semblance that much and could avoid stronger hits. Even though their auras weren't pressured, the team had started to become exhausted by the amount of Grimm, easily more than there was at Outlook. After what felt like an eternity, which was two-to-three hours of near constant assault, the force had started to die down. All the water Grimm had seemed to disappear and Sphinxes and large Nevermores had also gone, with the rest of the Grimm being the Griffons and the occasional Beowolf wandering from the inner island. It was then that they all noticed something rising from the water. Whatever it was, it was a Grimm, but it had a long snout and a giant sail on its back, resembling a prehistoric creature. The spine of the thing was bulkier than one would expect for speed underwater but it would soon be revealed why it had such a bulky sail. It had split open and revealed some pulsing red organ that started to take in saltwater and churn it around itself. JULI could do nothing but watch, as the creature, although not very big, was too far for any real damage to be done. It also didn't help that it had instinctively protected the organ. Once half-a-minute had gone by, there were electric pulses coming from the beast, and, finally, a large electromagnetic pulse had exploded from it. JULI braced, unknowing of what the blast would do, but it had done nothing. It was then June checked her scroll and realized that the blast had eliminated any form of contact to reinforcements. At first, she didn't know what to do. Thankfully, whatever the beast was had started to retreat once it had done that. The next problem was figuring out if they could leave, as without proper contact they wouldn't be sure when the Grimm truly died down. After telling the rest of the team, and checking their scrolls to confirm, they were equal parts relieved and annoyed. "You're telling me we have to stay out here even longer," was Ino's first response. As pointless as the complaint seemed, everything that had happened was truly unpredictable, even for a Huntsmen team. "I know that we're all exhausted," June started, "but we should restock and be prepared just in case." Her tone had a hint of concern and tiredness, but the team complied and they restocked. JULI had went to restock, all except June, who had restocked recently and didn't need more. While she was waiting, something started to disturb the water farther out. Whatever it was, it started to create small waves as it the seafloor grew closer to the shore. A sail had started to peer out of the water soon after, which June at first thought was the mysterious creature from before returning. However, as the sail came out more, it was white with no hint of red and had a more spiky sail. It was also... larger. June had physically recoiled when she realized what it was, and rushed to where the rest of JULI were, almost using her semblance in the process. They were halfway back from the supply tents when she met up with them. They had never seen June dawn such rushed expressions, simply telling them that they needed to hurry, "Now!" JULI ran as fast as they could towards the beach. Once they got there, they could now see what had gotten June's attention. The beast had rose from the water, showing off its exposed rib-cage and menacing six eyes that flickered in the direction of JULI. It was a Leviathan, a DR-5 creature that JULI could only dream of guaranteeing a kill on without heavy ordinance. June had grabbed her scroll to see if it was working. At first, it looked as though it was booting up, and even let June record for only a second, but it had quickly shut off, as it still had problems. The rest of JULI had attempted this as well, with Uruclay being able to get it on for a little bit longer than June, but all of it was to no avail. The true test to their skills had found itself, and June had realized they would have to fight to prevent the creature from reaching the island. The EMP must have caused concern and fear on the island to increase, therefore the creature must have been brought closer. June put her scroll away and started to reassure her team, keeping calm and trying to inspire them while telling them her plan. It had worked, for the most part, as they all nodded their heads in agreement and took their positions. June would take point while the rest stayed behind her as supporting fire, with Uruclay closer to Levi to protect him if he needed to used a charged shot. Uruclays usual tank position would have to be ignored, as it was unlikely he would be able to resist the full strength of a Leviathan. It slowly approached the beach, and after it got there it had started to roar. June had sprung forward, using her semblance to fire up like a bullet. Before the beast could swing at her, the rest of JULI fired at the beast, and it had effected the beast a little. As minor as the bullet hell was for the thing, its small recoil gave June an opening on beast, and she was able to land on it. She started up its arm and used her full speed while deploying the blades from Angeli Cadunt. Her path was a spiral up its arm, and the dust infused attacked had damaged the beast. It had recoiled heavily and showed nothing had hit it that hard before. JULI were astounded by the hard hit, with Levi following up with a charged shot from the Rote Bedrohung. The Grimm had also recoiled from this, although less than June's, but even with both of their assaults, it had recovered fine. The recovery was also quick, with it immediately firing an electric fire breath towards Levi. It was fast and Levi didn't have enough time to dodge, but Uruclay had rushed to move him and try to shield him at best. Although he was able to move them both, the blasts splash effect had hit both of them hard, with Levi looking completely out of commission. He tried to fire at the beast, getting one shot in before realizing it wouldn't do anything, especially with the little aura he knew he was left with. All this did was grab its attention and it prepared to swing at him. June had then went for its head, sliding across in a similar manner as before. She went for its eyes, taking out all three on its left side. However, when she rushed towards the other three, it showed some cunning and had used its right arm to shield its eyes. June had then tried attacking its hand to weaken it and get it off, but it had done nothing. Her extensive semblance use had drained her exponentially, and she could feel herself getting weaker. She had to go on though, and she had thought off a new plan. She signaled to Ino to get to Levi and Uruclay to see how Levi was doing. The Leviathan wasn't planning on letting Ino move, though, using its left to try and crush Ino. It had surprising speed and took Ino off guard. With no time to dodge, it looked as though it was the end for her. In a split second, a blue flash had appeared. While June was using her full speed she had only a second to use with her current aura, but this was what she perceived as a second, as the real time going by was milliseconds. In that time, she was accustomed to things moving extremely slow, some coming to what seemed to be a stop. However, the beast had been moving faster than slow. With very little time, she spiraled around its hand and wrist area while moving Ino some distance away. She couldn't move her far, in fear her aura would drain completely, and had stopped using her semblance. The Leviathan screeched in pain but still hit the ground with tremendous force. This had knocked Ino back and did major damage as it kept the speed it was using before. It had almost knocked her out, so she was spread out on the ground defenseless and could only watch. June was exhausted and her aura flickered. She had one more chance to stun the beast, but she would have to hope for a miracle to win, or get it to run. She had another last resort. Most nun-chuck masters are accustomed to using two of the weapon instead of just one, which June has trained in before relying on one weapon. A second pair of Angeli Cadunt had been created that year as a gift by Amica, with the new pair being called Angutus Ortus. The weapon had the same functions as its original pair, its true function being its synchronization with its original counterpart. June took out the Angutus Ortus and connected it to the Angeli Cadunt. This created a staff-like weapon, except smaller and would work as more than just a stick, which connected by stiffening the gravity crystals and combining them from end-to-end. Once the attaching process was complete, she rushed the Leviathan. She would have to outsmart it to save her aura, so her plan involved tricking it. First, she rushed the set of eyes that she hadn't gotten before. The thing had instinctively put its hand on it to protect itself, and then she went to the left side and fired at the open wound. The combined weapon, called Pruergium, combined the firing capabilities of all the weapons and allowed it to become an anti-material rifle. It could only fire once at a time but firing into the open wound had made the creature screech in pain. It had used its right arm to cover the injury and try to crush June. She jumped when the movement started and retracted the blade from Pruergium. Then, she would use the blade to stab it in the chest, allowing herself to stop in the air. However, the Leviathan had stepped back, using a lot of its energy to quickly move back. June had to something quick, and she decided to use the rifles knock back to boost her towards it. Unfortunately, it had taken its left arm off the wound and had started to slash at her. If she used her round to avoid the hit, she wouldn't be able to guarantee getting to its chest. It was then that the water had started to shake, obviously being disturbed. June thought it to be another Grimm, thinking the worst, but when she glanced at where Levi and Uruclay were, Levi was crouched down with his open palms in the sand. He had used his semblance, figuring out his aura was low enough for use. He wouldn't be able move it without extensive use of it that could do damage, however, Uruclay had been giving him his aura to assist in doing it. The combined effort had made the beast lose balance, and June had her opening. They were putting everything into her attack, so she was going to try and not let them down. After she had fired the Pruergium and stabbed into its chest to land, she used the weapons hard light dust core to create something capable of piercing the Leviathans skin. With the combination of Angeli Cadunt and Angutus Ortus, their hard light cores combined into one and allowed the Pruergium to create larger constructs. It created several extended bent knife arms that cut into the beast, which gave the weapon more support. Then, after extending further into its skin, the blades started to spin at fast speeds. Before the Grimm had time to react, June fired another round into it, and then created several hard light recreations of the Pruergium's rifle part once the blades were finished cutting open holes into it. Hard light weapons were incapable of recreating the effects of dust and ammo, so she would use her semblance to reload the constructs withing seconds. Her usage of her speed had lasted a little under a second, but it would be the most she could get out. Before she was fully drained, she retracted the Pruergium and leaped back onto the beach. Once she landed, she had dropped to her knees and her aura had dissipated. Exhausted, she had looked up to see what had become of the Leviathan. It was still, a gaping wound in its chest, and it looked as though it was falling back. She sighed in relief and started to drop her head. When she looked back up to check on her teammates, she noticed that they were fine, but she had seen something else on the edge of the bay. She was too far to make out exactly what it was, but it was black and had a humanoid figure, as though it was hooded. After a couple seconds of looking, it had flee'd at an alarming speed. She started to question what it was and had thought it cou- June's thoughts were interrupted with a rumble and quake, and when she looked up, the Leviathan had braced itself from its fall and started to approach where Uruclay and Levi were. Her spirit was broken and could only watch as it started to charge its electric breath while facing them. Levi had used his remaining strength to grab Rote Bedrohung and tried to fire, but he was too weak to get enough rounds out. Uruclay was also too exhausted to try to move because of his combined semblance use with Levi. June desperately needed to do something. She was overwhelmed with a sense of protecting her teammates and wanted to keep them alive. It was then that something had triggered inside of her.

The bay shown a brilliant silver light, reflecting off the water and giving an intensity seemingly equal to the sun. The light enveloped the Leviathan, turning it to stone near instantly. Its weakened state and the more powerful and ruthless light had killed the beast some seconds after it turned to stone. All of JULI were confused about what just happened, and when they turned to June they were only more confused. She had been in her crouching stance but her eyes were now ignited with a silver fire. A second after the Leviathan was killed, she fell to the floor, completely unconscious. Ino had recovered enough to walk and run normally, and went to attend to her. After another twenty minutes of waiting, an airship had come to pick them up. After looking at Uruclay, they concluded that he wouldn't need any treatment, but that June was something they didn't know how to treat. Levi would be fine, his aura simply drained. Ozpin was waiting for them back at the campsite, being alerted of the EMP and was concerned about his Hunters. He called the rest of JULI to meet him alone, and he asked what happened to their leader. "I- We're not sure," was Ino's first response, which both Levi and Uruclay had nodded in agreement. "Well," Ozpin had went off from that, "begin with what happened after the blackout." Ino had begun to explain what happened, with the Grimm that had been the origin of the EMP, and the reveal of the Leviathan. "I... saw that," he cut her off, "your scrolls were able to capture it for a couple seconds, and I'm truly happy you all were able to get out of there alive." They all looked down, and then Ino had went on to explain the battle. "Once we thought it was finished, or retreating, " she had gotten to the end, "it had got back up and started to get close to Levi and Uruclay. I could see that June was concerned, but the next thing I saw was a blinding white light. After the light went away, the Leviathan was dissolving while June collapsed on the ground." Now he knew. Ozpins answer to June's knowledge of Silver-Eyed Warriors had finally shown. He dismissed them and visited where June was put. He had then opened her eyes. Her blue eye color was gone, and in its place was a shining silver. The contacts she wore were burnt away when she used her power, and now her secret was revealed. Ozpin left the tent and told caregivers that he had seen this before and that she was fine, only needing rest to recover. He also advised them that they needed to leave her alone to guarantee her safety. They weren't sure of it but trusted the headmasters judgement. After some time, JULI were brought back to Beacon.

June had woke up two days later, with everything still in some pain but not bad. She was greeted by Ino, who hugged her when she woke up. June hugged back and asked what happened. "Well," Ino had started, "after the mission, we were exempt from the written exam and put off school until graduation because the mission was concluded to be a DR-5. When it came to the mission, after your... stunt, we were picked up shortly after and brought home fine." June was relieved to here, then realized that she had no contacts. "So," June had stopped short, "every one of you saw that." Ino thought it a weird question, as someone would have to be blind to not see that, but questioned her about why she would keep something big like that a secret. Deeming it too late to keep a secret, and the trust she developed over the years with her team, she told Ino that she would explain once Levi and Uurclay had come back. Ino , after finding the two in the Library, had grabbed the two of them and brought them back. They both hugged June, happy that she was OK, but she then got to the point. She started to tell the story of the Silver-Eyed Warriors, including their ability to kill Grimm with a single stare. It made sense how she could do that now and she continued. Her next explanation was that people were hunting the warriors, and, at that, extremely skilled people were doinf it. She also added that, being told by her father, she was a prodigy among prodigies, as a normal warrior would only be able to freeze something that big in stone. Now they knew the reason for her hiding, but Ino realized something else quickly after June finished. "Wait," Ino had broken the silence, "doesn't that mean Summer would... be apart of that?" There had been silence, as Levi and Uruclay realized she had the power, and June had broken the new silence half-a-minute later, "Yeah, she does. But she doesn't know of them." The mood was ruined. Ino had tried to get everyone doing something else, asking June how she felt. June, realizing what she was doing, had told her she was fine and that she could walk. She then got up and started to stretch. Levi and Uruclay followed suit, helping the mood change to something more relaxing. After a couple days of resting, June was called to Ozpins office about something. It wasn't too unusual but Summer had greeted June at the elevator leading to the top of the tower. In the elevator, she explained that Ozpin had wanted her to join in. Now June was curious what he was trying to accomplish. Summer had taken a place a couple feet from June when she sat down. "Quite an impressive feat to take on a Leviathan," Oz had started, "Well, an understatement for a single Huntsmen team being able to pull it off. The real question is: How did you do it?" June had ignored the vagueness and got straight to the point, "Why do you care about my silver eyes, and how do you know anything about it." Summer had quickly glanced at June, confused by her statement, as June had been wearing sunglasses to hide her eyes before she had gotten more contacts. "Summer," Oz had continued, "I brought you here for a reason. Both of you have silver eyes, but one of you knows more than the other." Now both of them looked at each other, shocked, but for different reasons. Summer didn't see her eye color until June took off her glasses to show them, and June didn't realize Ozpin had told her about her powers. "Now," Oz prevented them from asking each other questions, "I called you up here June to... tell you about something. I've already asked you about fairy tales, but what if I told you they were true?" Her expression didn't change, and Oz had went on, "I wouldn't usually just tell anyone this but you should know the reason why you were pit against a Leviathan and introduced to two new types of Grimm. The Grimm have a form of leader, a powerful entity who exudes some control over the beasts that threaten humanity. Her name is Salem." Now June reacted, confused and unbelieving of the information. However, when she looked to Summer, she nodded in agreement, showing she knew too. "I know it's a bit to take in but I feel you deserve an explanation," Oz had explained, "as you were put against overwhelming odds. Although, you defended yourself and your team, so I'll explain the rest. Our current theory is that Salem had arranged an assault on the island, hoping to gain a foothold on Vale for a future attack. That's why the horde had shown some form of a plan on the Grimm's part." It made sense. Grimm wouldn't have randomly just attacked without incentive, or a spike in negative emotions, which nothing had happened recently on Patch. "If this Salem is a sentient leader of Grimm," June had started to ask, "does that mean she's the one hunting Silver-Eyed Warriors?" Oz had paused and answered honestly, "I'm... not sure, but it's fare to say she probably is." She didn't know what to say while keeping to herself the mysterious figure she saw nearing the end of the battle. After Oz had explained that she should keep it a secret, even from her teammates, he dismissed the both of them. They talked about their powers, and Summer had thought the contact thing was a good idea. She still wasn't going to use them, though, as it was a little too late for her to do it. Then, June had brought up graduation, which would take place two weeks from then. Summer still was waiting for exam results while hoping that she had passed. A quick reassurance from June had calmed that down, but it was still a matter of time before she got the results.

The two weeks had gone by slowly, every senior in Beacon waiting for graduation and all the other students wanting school to be over. Finally, the day had come, and all senior teams were assembled to graduate. JULI and STRQ were waiting as Ozpin started to announce teams and giving them their 'degrees.' At last, JULI had been called up. "This team has shown brilliant thinking," Oz had started to announce, "cunning strategy, and promising skills. Most recently, their final mission had been perilous as they went against overwhelming odds. However, they pulled through and showed what they were capable of. I would like to call Team JULI up." He gestured to where they were seated, and everyone clapped as usual. JULI were all extremely happy, mostly to be happy to get out in the world, with June being the one thinking this. Her sense of adventure and protecting people never faded from her childhood, and now she was finally able to get out there for good. Although not making that many, the friends she had made over the years at Beacon were going to be with her for awhile. JULI had sat back down to wait for the ceremony to be over, and they were also excited to see STRQ. Team after team had gone by and were awarded until every one had been called upon. "That concludes the ceremony," Oz had started to end it off, "now you may all be dismissed." It felt both long and short to everyone. All the seniors had already moved their possessions out of their dorms, but were allowed to stay an extra night if they wanted. JULI stayed the night while Tai and Raven had left, together surprisingly. Morning had come and the teams would bid each other a goodbye. June asked Summer what she planned on doing, and she told her she was going to stay with Tai on Patch for the time being. June planned to explore and clear up loose ends elsewhere, but was vague about it. Summer didn't mind and had got on the airship. Finally, she would say goodbye to her teammates. Uruclay had to go to Atlas to get situated and Levi planned to follow him, but stay doing his own thing instead directly joining Atlas. Ino, however, said that she wasn't sure, and planned to join June in her adventures. June was shocked but said that she wouldn't mind the company. Before Levi and Uruclay could leave, though, June had something to tell them all. "Oh yeah," she started to say, "Ozpin told me that the names of the Grimm we encountered were determined." Even with the ubiquity of Grimm, it felt nice to discover a new one. June said the name for the aquatic Grimm would be the Sabuestria, and the special, EMP Grimm would be called the Spineback. "Nice," was the thing Levi added, while Uruclay nodded with agreement that they sounded like cool names. Now, Ino and June said goodbye to Uruclay and Levi as they boarded a ship to Atlas, and June would join Ino in going to Vale which she was doing to see her parents a bit before going out. After a couple day visit to Ino's home, the two left the border of the kingdom to see what awaited them next...

This thus concludes the Beacon Saga.
