Disclaimers: I own nothing
In route to Atlas
Delta Squad are already on their way to Atlas to meet with the Rebels but some yellow looking portals opens up in front of their Bullhead VTOL, "what is that?" Sev ask as he and Scorch tries to change course to avoid the portal but none of the controls are responding.
"I don't know but for some reason we are being pulled in!" Scorch said as he tries to change course but nothing is working.
"Why aren't we changing courses?!"
"Because we are being pulled in Boss, there is nothing we can do!" Scorch said as they finally enter the portal but where they will be heading from the other side will be completely unknown.
"Huh? Where did they go?" The Red Mist which was Pyrrha Nikos looks around when she lost sight of the Deltas who disappears into the portal.

Unknown Location
"Oh great! Now where are we?" Fixer wonders along side his fellow Clone Commandos because they find themselves in some location they don't even know. (Notes: Where they are is where Salem first met the Brother of Light.)
"Plus our Bullhead VTOL is gone!" Scorch said aiming his DC-17M ICWS everyone looking for any sign of hostiles.
"Hello Delta Squad", the Delta Squad turns around in a quick pace and aimed their DC-17M ICWS at the woman who just greeted them.
"SALEM!" The Deltas know who this woman is and it was Salem the old Nemesis of Remnant, except that she is back in her original self.
"Oh so you Deltas know me", Salem said as Boss shows her a picture of her when she was still normal.
"We thought Ozpin and his friends killed you!" Boss and the other Clone Commandos now want to know how she is still here.
"I was killed yes, but it was my Grimm self that was destroyed and I reverted back to my original self. After that happened I choose to exile myself here and only watch over everyone here without approaching them", Salem explains how is she still alive.
"Then why did you bring us here?" Fixer ask why did she bring them to this realm to begin with.
"I seek forgiveness", there's their answer coming from Salem.
"Forgiveness?! After all you did just because you couldn't accept that your lover Ozma AKA Ozpin died which resorted you into becoming the darkness that threatened all of Remnant even corrupted James Ironwood!" Boss talks to Salem in disgust.
"And more importantly why ask strangers from another planet?!" Sev ask because why Salem isn't asking her former enemies for forgiveness and she is asking them.
"I know about all that, I've allowed myself to be haunted by every evil thing that I have done to everyone in Remnant, even created the corruption in James Ironwood", well Salem choose to accept being haunted by her evil deeds after going into exile.
"And I'm asking for forgiveness from strangers from another world because I believe Ozpin and the others won't forgive me if I approached them out in the open, they would rather see me burn and die", Salem said her reason why she wants forgiveness from strangers from another world to begin with.
"We know about all of your evil actions Salem but have you accepted that fact once a person dies there is no bringing them back, our War with the CIS have costed many lives, fellow Clones and Non-Clones", Boss mentions the people that where lost during the first and second Clone Wars.
"But now that we have heard from you that you exiled yourself here, will probably give you our forgiveness", now the Deltas will now forgive Salem for every evil thing she had done.
"Well in the end your just a tragic person, plus a redeemed person too", Sev said to Salem and the other Clone Commandos nodded their head and lower their DC-17M ICWS.
"And we can forgive you now", Boss said they can forgive Salem now plus Salem sheds her tears of happiness.
"Thank you, now return to your journey to Atlas, plus if you see Ozpin, just tell him I said hello if you can", Salem ask them for a favor as the bright light engulfs everything in the area.
"Sure thing Salem!"

Remnant Again
Finally the Deltas are back in their Bullhead VTOL and continue in their road to Atlas, "hey you think we can do this and mention we met with a redeemed Salem?" Scorch ask if they should mention this to the Rebels at all.
"We are doing this Scorch, besides it's favor for Atlas", Fixer said to they will be mentioning Salem to the Rebels.
"But will do when the time comes", Boss said they tell them when the time right is.
"Then we wait for now", Sev said next as he notice from the mirror that red mist which is actually Pyrrha Nikos following them.
End
Salem who was back in her original self in this chapter was only looking for forgiveness for every evil thing she has done just because she couldn't get over grief on loosing her lover Ozma/Ozpin. But she wanted outsiders like the Deltas for forgiveness just because they are from Remnant.
