Chapter 20

Year 1 Month 1 Day 05

Yang and Arin are returning to Mistral to find their lost band member.

Yang got her bag and handed it to Grover. He put it where it needed to go in the van. He placed it next to their instruments.

"So, how's training going?" He asked

"You know, slow." Yang said

"I could beat up on you." Alani said

"Thanks, but no." Yang said. She handed Grover the last bag, and he closed where they were packing.

Arin walked up with candy in his mouth. He held out a bag, and everyone took the rock candy.

"Do we have Lily yet?"

"Nope." Grover said

Lily walked up with a new Bonsai.

"Sorry guys, I just had to add one to my collection."

Arin shook his head. "Let's get in the van."

The bandmates entered the van, and it started to drive away. Arin turned to Yang.

"This time, we finally found out where Dee is. Her tracker finally came back online."

"That's amazing… Oh yeah, sorry to change the subject, but I got a new lightsaber." Yang said

"How did you get another one?"

Yang took out Summer Rose's lightsaber.

"This belonged to my mom." Yang turned it to the side and turned it on. The Green blade hummed.

"So now you've got two lightsabers." Alani said. "You any good at using them?" She added on.

"Not with both of them. I've never tired actually." Yang said.

"I can't teach you that style. I don't know it." Arin said.

"Maybe both of you need a teacher." Grover said.

"I don't have a second lightsaber to do that with." Arin said.


They drove, talking about their newest song.

"Is it time to bring out Armed and Ready?" Yang asked.

"No, not yet. But… Time to say goodbye… Yeah, that'll be the opening." Arin said

"Loveless War's still popular." Lily said

"But we've done it at the last three tours." Grover said.

"Whatever." Lily said. She laid down and put her new Bonsai on her head.

"Let's not forget what we're really here for."

"Rescue team Smooth." Lily said

"We didn't agree to that." Grover said.

"But it sounds cool." Lily said back

"No it doesn't."

"Alright professor cool guy, whatever." Lily said.

"Alright Lily, settle down." Alani said "We still need to figure out our plan."

"So, let's focus." Arin said

They started to make their plan to rescue the bandmate.


Across the ocean, in a dark room, was That lost band member. Deedee's arms were chained to the wall. Her eyes dark. The door to her cell was opened again as light flooded the room.

"Hello Deedee." A man said. Deedee flinched when she heard his name.

"I'd rather die than tell you."

"I'm going to find that Jedi, don't you worry. And you will die soon, have no doubt about that either. Both will fall in my hands. Because they know where you are. Jedi can't stand to stay away."

Deedee turned away. He grabbed her face to look at him.

"You will get them killed. You will leave this world knowing that."

He let go of her face.

"They're going to kill you." Deedee said. The man turned around and slapped her. Then he snapped, and Deedee cried out in pain.

"What did you do?"

"Spikes just entered your arms. If those chains are opened, you'll bleed out in seconds, especially in your condition."

He left the room. Deedee let a tear fall down her face.

"Arin, I'm sorry." Deedee whispered.


Month 1 Day 10

They finally left New Mistral to get to where they really wanted to go. They had a one week gap between their last show to their next one. That was when they would go get Deedee back. They tracked it to a small building away from any city.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Grover said

"Always mister sunshine you are." Lily said.

"Yang and I will go in. You three will get our escape route cleared." Arin said

Yang and Arin got up and rushed the building. Arin used the force to open the lock. He moved in and saw four armed guards nearby. They all looked up at Arin and started to fire. Yang and Arin turned on their lightsabers.

"This is going great." Yang said

"Sure is." Arin said. He sent out a force push, making the guards hit a wall, and drop their weapons. Arin sent out orange lightning out of his fingertips.

"What was that?" Yang asked

"Force Judgement. It won't kill, but it will keep them down." Arin said. They moved forward and found an open door.

"That's not suspicious at all." Yang said.

"It may be our first clue." Arin said.

Yang took a step in the room and saw a blueprint of the outpost on the wall.

It was more than it seemed. It was a complete prison. Yang turned and saw a computer screen showing Deedee. It was for cell D402.

"I don't like how convenient this all is. It's probably a trap."

"Seems like it."

"So what do we do?"

"Spring the trap." Arin said.

"We're going to cell block D, floor four, cell two. How far away are we?"

Arin looked at the blue prints and sighed.

"We're in cell block A. Floor one. The four cell blocks are in a circular shape. We're the farthest possible position from her cell." Arin poked his head out and saw six guards coming to their location.

"Do we have company?"

"Yeah." Arin said.

Yang took pictures of the blueprints and sent them to Grover.

Grover called.

"What are these for?"

"You're going to tell us where to go. Arin and I need to get to Cell block D, were right by A…" Yang looked outside "101"

"You're nowhere near where you have to go."

Arin finished fighting the six guards.

"We're moving." Yang said.


The Warden sat back in his control room and watched as the jedi revealed themselves for him. He smiled.

"Too sentimental for their own good." He said. He sent out a call for Empress Vox. She picked up.

"You again. I told you that if you called me again with a false report, we'd end you."

"I know my empress, but I can confirm that this time I have two Jedi."

Vox was about to turn off the call before the warden sent a clip to Vox of Yang and Arin running down the halls, lightsabers out.

Vox watched it.

"This is your last chance. I'll come by in one week, and if you don't have a Jedi with you, you will pay." Vox started to force choke the warden, but let him go.

"I understand my empress. You won't be disappointed."

"One week." Vox ended the call.

The warden watched as his men were all killed.

"They're worth every cent." Any who weren't dead the warden killed. In all of their armor, there was an electric chip.


Yang slashed her lightsaber into the last guard. The blade didn't kill the guard. Yang was about to leave when she saw the guard getting shocked somehow. She turned to Arin who deflected a shot back into a guard.

"Arin, Something weird is happening."

"What?"

"Something's killing them, and it's not us."

"Maybe that's why their fighting so hard." Arin looked up and saw a camera.

"I don't like those." Arin gripped it with the force, and tore it down.

"You're almost where you need to be. Go down to the fourth floor and you'll avoid another guard station. Then run as fast as you can and hopefully you'll get to block D."

"This is too easy" Yang said

"We're too close to go back now. This is probably our last chance to get her back." Arin said

"Alright." Yang said, having a bad feeling.

They did as Grover told them and got to cell block D.

"She should be near here." Arin said. Yang found the cell, and used the force to open the door.


There, arms hanging against her will against the wall, was Deedee. She was a shell of her former self. She had bruises and cuts all over her. Most of her hair was cut off. Her body had almost withered completely away. She looked up and saw Yang.

"Are you here to finish me off?" She asked. Yang looked in her eyes. They were sunken in. She looked like she gave up long ago.

Arin walked in the room and took a look at Deedee.

"What did they do to you?" Arin asked.

"Arin?" She tried to move, but the chains kept her from moving.

Arin looked at a table in the room and saw a key. They used it to mock her. He grabbed it but Deedee yelled.

"Don't unlock the chains, or I'll die!"

Arin nodded and took out his lightsaber. He sliced the chains off, and grabbed Deedee as she started to fall. Deedee started to get up by herself, but she started to scream. She was being electrocuted by something.

Arin couldn't stop it. Deedee fell to her knees, with seconds to live.

"He wants you" She said before dying.

Arin held her dead body.

"We need to get her body out of here."

Yang and Arin heard laughing.

"Too late jedi. You walked right into my trap." The Warden said

The door to every cell opened, and Yang heard the screams of Grimm.

Yang looked out and saw a small army of droids coming to their position.

"We need to get out of here." Yang said.

Arin closed Deedee's eyes. He pulled out his lightsaber. Yang used the force to push down some droids, then started to run. Arin followed behind her. They deflected blaster bolts as they came.


They moved up a floor, and didn't see any droids.

"We have to get out of here as soon as possible." Yang said.

Arin shook his head.

"I can't believe it, Deedee's gone." Arin said.

Yang sighed.

"It's a shock. But… Wuah!" Yang screamed when she felt something touch her leg. She punched what was touching her leg, and she saw a tentacle. They followed where the tentacle was coming from and saw an Octopus Grimm.

Yang looked at her leg to see if there was a mark while Arin took out his lightsaber and cut the tentacles.

"What is that thing?" yang asked.

"I don't know. We have to keep moving."

Yang and Arin turned, not waiting for that Grimm to follow them. They climbed the floors, taking out Grimm until they got to the top floor. Some of the strongest Grimm filled the floor. Yang and Arin fought the first one, the Gorilla. It ripped out concrete from the wall and slammed it into Yang.

She was slammed into a wall before falling down. Arin jumped on its head, and plunged his lightsaber into its head. Yang got up, her hair almost on fire. She rushed past Arin and sent a punch that killed two Grimm.

Arin was impressed, but Yang got distracted. Arin threw his lightsaber into another Grimm.

"We need to stay focused." Arin said.

Then the Grimm went back into the cells. They seemed angry about it, but still did it.

Arin and Yang looked at each other but decided to take advantage of the situation. They went back to the entrance but were stopped by four HK droids. They had electric staffs.

"This isn't good." Yang said.

"You think I'd let you out of this facility? Do you not realize that this was all a trap to get you here?"

"Who are you?"

"Someone who hates you Jedi. You ruined everything."

The first droid charged forward. Arin turned on his lightsaber. He started his attack on the droid. The other three charged Yang.

"Arin!" Yang yelled. She ducked under one strike, and punched at the droid's body. She took a chunk out of it, but she didn't kill it. She got hit by two staffs. She started screaming.

Arin looked over, and knew he had to do something. He pushed upwards on his lock with the droid, causing it to be wide open. Arin quickly cut the arms, then made three slices across its body, finishing with his lightsaber plunged deep in the HK's head.

Yang felt a moment of levity once Arin force pushed them off of her, but she was surprised, her semblance hadn't kicked in yet.

She got up, shakily but she realized that Arin could get out.

"Catch" Yang said. She threw Summer's lightsaber. Arin caught it, without realizing what it was, then Yang used the force to get him out of the building. After she was hit again. She turned and punched the droid in the chest. She was about to punch again when she felt the other electric pikes hitting her. The droid she punched was still standing. It attacked Yang with its pike. Yang screamed, then fell to the ground. Ulric's lightsaber rolled off her belt. She looked up, but was met with more electricity.

Arin looked back at the building. He tried to open the door but whoever was running this place locked the door behind him. He got out Yang's lightsaber, and started to cut, but turrets appeared out of nowhere. He jumped back, and used the force to crush one of them. There were too many of them to continue this fight. He cursed himself.


He rushed back to where the others were waiting. Once Arin got in the van they looked at him.

"Go" He yelled

"What about Yang?" Alani asked

"She's been captured."

They had to get back to the Jedi. They would need a rescue team.

"And Deedee?" Grover asked

"She was killed. They were expecting us." Arin said, gripping his knee.

"What are we going to do now?"

Arin sighed.

"Lily, you're appendix broke, or something like that. We need some reason to cancel the tour." Arin dragged his hand down his face. "This is a disaster."

How would Arin tell Yang's Family?


Month 1 Day 12

Raven felt something was off in the air. She called Vernal to her side.

"Vernal, I feel that something's about to happen. Get everyone ready to run when I give the order."

"Yes Raven."

They got ready but it was still too late. Raven heard it before she saw it. A rocket hit the gate and burst it open. Multiple imperials entered the camp, all firing. Raven knew they couldn't make it like this. A sith warrior got of a motorcycle. She wasn't the empress, but still a deadly sith. She ordered the troops to stop firing. Raven's bandits got ready for the next attack.

Raven moved to sight.

"What is it?" She asked

"I am Lady Culla, and I have been given an order to capture the Spring maiden. We know you're here." She was Chiss. She tried to be polite, but Raven knew it was just a façade.

"We won't give up the maiden. We're all ready to die for the maiden." Raven said.

"That's fine with me." Culla said. Her men opened fire again. Her bandits were being slaughtered. They started to move back towards Raven. A few of her bandits used Smoke grenades, and Raven made multiple portals. The bandits were separated all across Vacuoo and Vale in a series of safe houses. Soon after the smoke cleared up. Raven closed up all the portals except for one. Culla saw that Raven and Vernal were the last two.

"So you reveal yourself." She said. She pulled out her lightsaber, and started running towards them. Raven opened the last portal, and dragged Vernal through. She closed the portal before Culla could get them.


Qrow had his hand on his weapon when Vernal turned around. She held her hands up.

"What are you doing here?" Qrow said.

"The Empire just attacked us. Where are we?"

"In Goodwitch's office."

"When did she get an office?" Raven took a look around.

"Are you sure we're in her office and not Ozpin's?"

Goodwitch got up and turned to the window.

"Ozpin died." She said

Raven felt shocked.

"When was he killed?"

"Four Months ago, when Salem announced herself. And you weren't here."

The elevator opened with Arin walking in.

"Why are you here?" Qrow asked.

"Something happened… Yang was kidnapped."

Raven grabbed her sword, but she felt that she couldn't get to Yang. Something was blocking her. Qrow looked at her.

"If you can't get to her, then that means this is bad." Qrow turned to Arin. "What happened?"

"Yang and I were trying to save one of my bandmates from someone. I don't know who. They had both Grimm and HK droids. They were ready for us. Yang gave me this lightsaber before sending me off."

Arin showed Qrow and Raven Summer's lightsaber. They both knew what it was.

"So, she'd been given it. Has she made her own yet?"

"No." Arin said.

"And why are you here right now?" Qrow asked

"She sent me flying with a force push out of the building. I couldn't get my way back in the building."

"Then we need to get a rescue team ready." Ruby said. She came up on the Elevator, and heard what happened. Arin turned around.

"Ruby… I failed."

"I know."

"You don't seem to want me dead like your uncle and the other woman. Who is she?"

Ruby looked over and saw Raven.

"I think that's Yang's mom."

"And you must be Summer's kid. A pleasure." Raven said mockingly.

"Don't." Qrow said.

"Fine. I can't get to Yang Wherever she is, she's stuck. I can get a group of twelve outside the building. I don't know if I'm going to be able to bring you back."

"That alright. We're ready to do this." Ruby said.

"Get the team ready. I can't stay here long."

"Alright." Ruby said.

"You're coming with us." Ruby said to Arin.

"Are you sure you want me?"

"Yeah. Yang will want you to help her get out." Ruby said.

"Then we need to get a team ready to rescue Yang." Arin said.


Ruby called Weiss and Blake.

"What's up?" Blake asked.

"We need to save Yang."

"What happened?" Weiss asked.

"On her last mission she was kidnapped. We're going to save her." Ruby said.

"Alright." Blake said

"What about Karel? Should we tell him?" Weiss asked

"No, He's still working on the Menagerie project."

Ruby tried to reach out to Yang, but felt nothing.

"I hope you're okay."


Yang woke up. She noticed a humming noise before anything else. She had her gauntlets with her, but not her lightsaber. She was still in her clothes, thankfully. She felt for her hair, and sighed with relief when she felt it was all there.

"Don't worry Jedi, we only took your lightsaber. No need to worry. But in five days, you will wish we killed you."

Yang got up. She was mad. She punched, but it hit a shield surrounding her. The shield hit her back with as much force. She looked at it, and became even angrier. She started punching the shield with everything she had. Every emotion about this war was in each punch.

The Warden got a report.

"Sir, she's almost broke through the shield. What do we do?"

"Nothing yet. Don't tell anyone in the room. If they don't know, then she won't. If it just about to break tell them."

Yang hit the shield with the last of her energy, and her last bullet. She started breathing heavily then she got hit with all the energy she just spent. It felt like someone hit her with a skyscraper going the speed of a semi-truck.

That was all the energy she had. She looked up and was about to faint. She got back up, but she couldn't stand, so she started to meditate. She needed to focus herself. She felt a dark presence fall over her.

She felt that she was going to be saved. But she was going to need to put just as much effort into it as who will save her.


Month 1 Day 13

Ruby got her rescue team. Team RWB, Team JNPR, Arin, and Qrow.

Ruby looked at the team they had. She felt confident in them all.

"Today, we rescue Yang. For what information we gathered from Arin, we know we are going to be facing strong Grimm, and droids. We have a layout of blueprints, but they were lacking, so we can't fully trust them. We know our enemy had a vendetta against the Jedi, for what, I don't know. We can't stay their long, or we risk getting surrounded. We also have no idea if Raven will be able to bring us all back through the portals, so we may be stuck in enemy territory. If we do get stuck, we'd have to find a way out. Any questions?"

Ruby waited for any questions, but didn't get any. She was relieved they didn't ask. She didn't have many answers.

"Alright, Arin and I will go first. We're going to make a clearing for the rest of you." Qrow said. He went next to Ruby.

"Uncle Qrow, this is my debriefing." She whispered to him.

"Yeah, but you were taking too long." He said. He turned to the others.

"Why you two?" Blake asked.

"Because we have the most experience out of all of you. Don't worry, we won't do anything too dangerous." Qrow said.

"Then after they go in, Ren, you and your team will go. Since you can make everyone calm, you're going to go in."

Ren nodded.

"Then my team, we go in. We are going to have to find Yang. After the others deal with everything else, they will join us in trying to find Yang."

"Is there anything else?" Weiss asked

"Nope." Qrow said. He looked at Raven, and she shook her head. She made the portal.

"I can't guarantee I can bring you back. Something may stop me. Be careful." Raven said

"You know me. I'll be alright." He stepped through the portal.

"And you. You better save my daughter. Or else."

"Don't worry. I won't fail again" Arin said.


After Qrow and Arin stepped through Arin figured out where they were. They were where he had his bandmates stay.

"This may be tricky. They had turrets set up. Is there a way for you to get past them?" Arin asked.

"Yeah, I just need you to distract them long enough for me to get the door."

"Alright. Let's start this."

Arin jumped out of the hiding spot and turned on his lightsaber. The turrets jumped out of the ground and started firing. He started blocking the turrets. He saw a crow fly past him. Some of the turrets started jamming. Arin used the force to crush them. Qrow dropped down from the sky and landed next to the control panel. He pushed a button, and the doors locked up.

"I hate bad luck." Qrow said.

Team JNPR arrived. They saw Arin and Qrow having to fight off the turrets. Nora got ready and jumped into the action. Phyrra took a deep breath and roots started shooting up out of the ground. They covered some of the turrets. Ren rushed forward and cut a turret in half.

"The door's locked up." Qrow yelled.

"I can get it unlocked!" Jaune yelled back. Pyrrha grabbed her weapon and started firing at the remaining turrets. Everyone covered Jaune as he ran to the door. As soon as he got to the door he started to tinker with it. After a minute he got the door open. An HK droid was standing the door way. It hit Jaune in the face. Jaune lifted up his shield to defend himself. A bullet came flying.

Team RWB had arrived. Ruby took out her lightsaber and used her semblance to take out the last of the turrets. Everyone entered the building.

"I see everyone came here to save your friend. Now I have more Jedi. You were unwise to come here." The warden said. The Grimm left their cages. Qrow ran forward. He took out the first three in the blink of an eye.

Ren used his semblance and covered everyone. They were able to walk past most of the Grimm.

"What?" The warden asked. He sent more droids to stop them.

Ruby and Arin used a force push to drop them to the ground, then Qrow ran up and finished them off.

"Arin, can you feel Yang?" Ruby asked.

"Only a small bit. I think you'd be able to sense her better." Arin said

Ruby remembered her special ability. She closed her eyes, and saw the walls were covered in red. She also saw a blue light in the center of it all. She gathered the force in her hand, and sent out a force push against the wall. The brick flew off, revealing that the center of the prison wasn't hollow. The colors lefts Ruby's eyes.

"That's really useful." Blake said.

"Thanks."


They went inside the inner prison.

They broke open the wall above a mess hall. Arin jumped down first.

"Hello there."


The stationed guards lifted up their pistols. Arin used his semblance, the manipulation of the earth. The bricks were a good size. He used them and sent them at guards. He hit one of them in the neck. They weren't going to be getting up. Jaune jumped down next. He flipped up a table and made cover for everyone. Pyrrha moved next to Jaune.

"You should start carrying a gun." She said.

"I don't have one." Jaune said. A guard came flying behind them. They dropped their pistol. Pyrrha used her semblance to move it over to them. She gave it to him.

"Now you do." She said smiling. Ren dropped down and got behind the table.

"We've only got four more of them." A pink grenade came flying over their heads. "Make that two."

Jaune jumped up and fired. He got a headshot.

He went back down. "You're a good shot." Pyrrha said

"I had my eyes closed." Jaune said.

"Then you're lucky." Nora said as she rolled to them.

Qrow finished off the last guard.

"Alright everyone, come on. We're not done yet." Jaune went to the bodies and gathered the Ammo.

"Let's hope we aren't too far away from Yang."


Yang finished her meditation. She felt worry from her captures. She knew they found her. She had been gathering the force, and knew she was going to have to use it soon.

"If you're shield breaks, the whole place goes down." One of her captures said.

Yang knew what that meant. If they found her first, Uriel's lightsaber would be lost. She didn't want that, but she would accept it.

Yang kept gathering up the force in her hands.


Ruby and her team broke through a locked door. Inside was a single person. A Muscular man. He turned to see them and got up.

"So I finally find the troublesome invaders." He picked up two axes. One was made of fire dust, and the other ice dust.

Ruby got out Crescent rose and got ready to fight.

"Girls, it's time for checkmate." Ruby said.

The Warden charged forward, dragging the Axes on the ground leaving a trail of fire and Ice. Blake and Weiss charged forward. Weiss used a Glyph to propel Blake behind the Warden. Blake used electric dust, and Weiss used earth dust. The Warden took the hits. He didn't seem fazed. His skin seemed to harden. Blake and Weiss jumped out of the way of the Axes. Weiss sent a shard of ice dust at him. It broke on impact.

"Ladybug!" Ruby yelled. She and Blake charged forward. She brought her scythe up while spinning, and landed in his shoulder. He just looked at her and went for the blade. Blake went down low. She used air dust and knocked the Warden off balance. Ruby fired next to his ear. She got her weapon out of his shoulder, and saw it heal itself.

"What?"

He stopped holding on his ear and laughed.

"Have you heard of the saying "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger"? Well, that's quite literal for me. That's my semblance."

Ruby fired at him. The bullet didn't work.

"Do we have any weapon he hasn't been hit with?" Ruby asked.

"I do have one…" Weiss said.

He picked up both Axes and got ready to slam them down. Ruby used the force to get her teammates out of the way. She got sent flying to the wall.

"You've got to use it!" Blake yelled.

Weiss wished she didn't need to. She loaded the Poison dust. She knew she had one shot. She fired, and it came out as a shard, about the size of a pistol bullet. The shard went in the Warden's body.

He started to hold onto his throat. He fell to the ground. He puked up blood. He looked up at Weiss then collapsed.

The Warden died.

"What was that?" Blake asked.

"Poison dust. My father only recently discovered it." Weiss said.

Ruby got back up.

"Are you alright?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, I'm just going to have a few bruises later." She said. Ruby saw something on his chair. She used the force to grab it. It was Yang's lightsaber. She put it on her belt.


Team RWB met up with everyone else.

"We just beat the Warden." Ruby said.

"We got every room but one. It's where Yang's being held." Arin said.

"Then let's go." Ruby said.

They got to the door. With Arin and Ruby cutting the door with their lightsabers, they made quick work of it. They stepped through and saw the room. It was all centered on a cylinder of light. It's where Yang was. Yang looked up and saw her rescuers and got ready. The guards already left.

"We need to all attack at once." Yang said.

"Got it." Everyone got in position to attack the shield. Yang started by using the force she built up and started punching. Everyone attacked, and soon, the shield broke. The energy exploded. The prison started to flash red.

"Self-Destruct in three minutes."

"Run!" Ruby said.


Arin went to help Yang. The group rushed past Grimm. Many of them were stuck in the cages. No love was lost over them. Everyone got out just as they got out of range of the explosion.

"Now it's time to call Raven." Qrow said. He made the call then waited. Nothing was happening.

"What's taking you so long?" Qrow asked.

"I don't know. I can't open the portal. You're on your own." Raven ended the call.

Qrow sighed. He turned to everyone.

"Looks like we're stuck. Best start walking." Qrow said.

Yang sat down on the ground.

"I need a moment." Yang said

Ruby went next to her.

"Hey Yang." She said

"Hey Ruby. What did you do with the creep who kidnapped me?"

"Weiss killed him."

"You didn't happen to find my lightsaber did you?"

Ruby smiled and held out Yang's lightsaber.

"You mean this lightsaber?"

Yang hugged Ruby.

"So, which way are we going?" Ren asked.

"There's a town a few miles up the road. We'll start there."

They started their walk.


Month 1 Day 14

At a farm was a 16 year old boy. He woke up and started his daily chores. His family had been growing more food recently since the empire buys most of it.

His aunt went to him after he was done watering the plants.

"We need you to go to town today. The captain has asked if he could stop by later today, and we ran out of coffee beans and sugar."

The boy agreed and took a truck into town. When he was waiting for a train to cross he looked in the mirror.

He looked in it and thought something was different.

"Hello?" He didn't know who he was talking to. Probably no one.

"Hello! I'm Professor Ozpin!" Ozpin jumped. He jerked forward an inch.

"What do you mean? Wait, I'm just nervous. That's all." He sighed.

"I know this may be strange, but you aren't imagining this. You'll understand in time. Quick question, where are we?"

"Mistral, wait, why am I talking? Did you say Ozpin?"

"Yes. I see that this is going to be interesting."

"That can't be right, Ozpin died a few months ago."

"It's alright. We just need to get you out of mistral."

"I'm not leaving." The train finally passed. Oscar drove towards the town. He got a call.

"Hurry up, the Captain just arrived." His aunt said.

"Sorry, just got stuck behind a train."

"Tell Oscar that he doesn't need to rush. I'm a patient man." The captain said

"I heard him" Oscar ended the call. Suddenly a feeling of dread filled him.

"Some thing's not right." Oscar said. "No, I'm just nervous."


Oscar got the groceries, but he couldn't shake the feeling he had. He started his drive back home.

Once he turned the corner to his home, he saw smoke. His stomach fell. He drove to the house, and saw a fire had destroyed the house. He jumped out and rushed to his house. The captain was sitting on the steps, bleeding out.

"What happened?" Oscar asked.

The captain opened his eyes.

"I'm sorry Oscar… Grimm came… Too many of them." He took his hand off his bleeding side. He placed his hand on Oscar's white shirt.

"She fought bravely. Now, you're… no longer… a shiny." The Captain closed his eyes. Neighbors of Oscar's arrived at the scene, and a lot of the town.

The firefighters entered the house and found the body. They got a body bag, and were about to take it away. Oscar stopped them. He grabbed a shovel and started making a hole. Some of his neighbors joined him. They lowered the body in the hole, and make the grave. Oscar placed a large rock in from of the grave.

Some stayed behind. Some gave Oscar money. They knew he wasn't going to stay here now.

"There's nothing left here for me. Where are we going?"

"We must get back to Beacon."


Month 1 Day 17

Vox brought a legion with her to clear the rubble of the old prison. The Warden must have died. A pity. Vox wanted his head. She watched as her troops called out about a find.

"We got a body intact."

Vox knew it was the Warden's body.

"Set up an autopsy. Let's see what could have killed him."

Vox watched as the doctor's started. She even helped. When they checked his mouth, Vox saw a shard of something. She got it out and looked at it.

"It's dust." She said "But not any kind we know about."

She put it in a safe place. She got the answer she was looking at. He was poisoned. She put two and two together.

"We just found our enemies secret weapon." Vox announced.

Author's Notes: Another done. Sorry about not posting. You already know my excuses, so I won't say them here.

Oscar, and the rescue team are stuck in Mistral, behind enemy lines.

Oscar had a Luke Skywalker moment. I know.
