Remnant
Back in the forest Weiss and her friends approach the real Forest temple without much resistance aside from a few Beowolves. Waiting there was a fiery blonde and a mysterious brunette(yes Brunette includes black hair, I checked). Both of the ladies were recognized by Weiss from her first day. Yang and Blake.
"Oh hey!" Yang called out.
"YANG!" Ruby cheered bursting into rose petals only to re appear hugging her sister. Yang laughs at her sisters antics.
"Miss me little sis?" Yang chuckles.
Ozpin watched with Hope as Weiss and the others approached the ruins. However Ozpin couldn't shake a horrible feeling like he was being watched, or more accurately that someone near him was being watched . He looks up from the Scroll to look at the vast landscape to see if he could find the source. Then he did. On a mountain side extremely far away he saw the glint of a scope then a slight flash. His eyes widened as he pulled Hope to him and covered her body with his own as a sniper bulled hit right where hope had been.
"Sniper!" Ozpin shouts. Glenda immediately uses her semblance mixed with dust to shield the two. Ozpin picked Hope up and held her close, and began running towards the school as Hope cried in fear clinging onto his suit. As she cried she had asked for her mother on instincts.
Back at the ruins Weiss grabs a White Knight chess piece. One of the relics. She and ruby had decided that they wanted to get that one. All of a sudden a large chill crawls up her spine before her heart begins to burn in pain. She clutches her chest gasping and falling to her knees.
"Weiss!" Ruby shouts as the others run to her aid. "Are you alright?"
Mama!
Weiss' eyes widened in fear. She knew something was wrong. Hope, Her daughter, the most precious thing in her life was in danger. Her maternal instincts soured, and her need to protect Hope filled Weiss with a strength she never felt before. Instantly she turns to look to where the cliff was. Where she had left Hope with Ozpin. Without hesitation Weiss dropped the relic, and ran as fast as she could using her glyphs to increase her speed. Ruby was shocked but knew something was wrong just by the look Weiss had wore. She grabbed the relic and raced off after Weiss following onto the glyphs.
As the two ran the sounds of sniper shots were getting noticeably louder. Earlier Weiss would have shrugged them off as other students but now she was not thinking rationally. Her Motherly Instincts driving her to believe any foreign sound was a threat to her little girl. Soon the cliff came into view. Weiss could see shots raining down upon the top being stoped by a purple energy projected by Professor Goodwitch.
Ruby saw this two and looked for the source catching sight of the sniper scopes glint by following the vapor trails with her eyes. She stops in her tracks and pulls out her weapon Crescent Rose. Weiss doesn't stop her mind not caring about anything but getting to Hope.
Ruby looks through her scope to see a figure in a black cloak holding what looked to be a custom longsword high impact sniper rifle. In the cloak she could make out two glowing red eyes. She slows her breathing, and taps a small button on the side of her weapon releasing a wind direction device. Once she's sure she has her shot ready she pulls the trigger. Through the scope she could see her bulled hit the attacker in the left eye causing them to be knocked back wailing in pain before slipping of to the side and begin a long painful fall down the side of the mountain.
Weiss used her glyphs to scale the mountain in seconds to see Glynda with the barrier up and Ozpin running with Hope in his arms back to Beacon.
"Miss Schnee?" Glynda asks in surprise. Weiss doesn't respond. She just runs to catch up with Ozpin. After a moment Glynda realizes that the sniper had stopped shooting. Then Ruby uses her weapons recoil to fly up to the top of the cliff with the relic in her ammo pouch.
It wasn't long before Weiss caught up with Ozpin when they made it to Beacon. He noticed her quickly and slowed down looking over to her. "Miss Schnee! Take your daughter and my scroll head to my office and lock yourselves inside until we can be sure Hope isn't in any further danger!"
Weiss nods pocketing Ozpin's scroll and taking the crying Hope from him. She then listened to his instructions as Ozpin ran back to the cliff. When he got there he saw Ruby talking to Glynda.
"-you see where the assailant landed?"
"Yes Professor." Ruby nods. A determined look upon her face.
Ozpin hadn't caught the whole question but he knew what it was. "Miss Rose, if you could. Take us to where they landed." Ruby nodded and began leading the teachers to where she saw the attacker fall.
In a airship flying over the sea to Vale. Willow Schnee sat looking out the window in worry. Jacques was in his seat in anger though he didn't speak a word. While he was angry about his wife newfound defiance, he was interested in who this 'Queen Mosura' was, and why Ozpin wished to talk to them about it. Whitley was not particularly happy about the trip, but he had his Scroll to occupy him so he didn't say anything either. Willow closed her eyes.
"Will I ever see either of you again?" Willows voice called out.
"Hopefully in better circumstances, but it could be a while." A voice replies. "Thank you for what you've done for us."
"No, thank you for protecting us."
The voice chuckles. "You are vary welcome Willow. We can see you doing many great things in the future."
Willow feels a tear falling as she smiles from the memory. "I'm coming. Don't you worry." She mutters.
Back in Beacon Weiss holds Hope close. The little girl had fallen asleep in her mother's arms, and Weiss relaxed a bit knowing that they were safe. She looks down to her daughter with a small smile as she softly runs her hand through her daughters hair. Weiss looks up through the window towards the setting sun. Her mind wanders to the events earlier and a dark look falls upon her face. "Don't worry Hope, I won't let anything happen to you." Weiss vowed.
With Ruby and the Professors they finally reach the spot the sniper fell to finding the body and battered rifle in a bush. When Ruby saw the body she instinctively gagged and backed up. This concerned Ozpin and Glynda. Ruby couldn't take it any more and puked in a nearby bush. When Ozpin approached the body he could tell why she had reacted that way. Pulling the brush aside he, and Glynda saw a Rat Faunus Man with red eyes, black hair, and Rat ears. His body was twisted and contorted from broken and shattered bones and was currently impaled by several branches. One of which went right through an eye.
Ozpin grimaced at the sight. He then walked over to Ruby who was still hunched over while Glynda rubbed her back hoping to help the girl with her situation. After a moment Ozpin hands Ruby a cloth from his pocket so she can clean her face. When she looks a little better. Ozpin speaks.
"Ruby." He says. "I don't want you feeling guilt on this." Ruby looks to him with tears in her eyes. "What you did was the right thing to do. You saw a threat, and you took action. That is what being a huntress is all about."
"But... sir he... was a person...I killed him." Ruby cry's.
"I know." Ozpin assures placing a hand on her shoulder. "I had hoped you wouldn't have to kill a person like this, but had you not? Hope Schnee could have been killed." Ruby seemed to relax a bit at that thought. "During your time as a huntress you will see that your enemy's will not always be Grimm. Sometimes the biggest monsters are just people."
Later that day Willow walks off the recently landed transport ship with Whitley close behind. The ship had dropped them off at Beacon Academy. Jacques was furious watching his wife become so 'defiant', and for what? Some word Ozpin had the messenger send? He steeled his tongue however. After all it would look bad if he were to do anything here, and Willow much to Jacques annoyance new it as well. What surprised Jacques on this trip however was that his wife hadn't even touched a wine bottle since the message had been given.
As Willow approaches the building the students of the academy watch in confusion. Willow could hear the whispers. "What's the Schnee family doing here in Vale?" Or "What are they doing at the Academy?".
Once inside Willow walked straight to the elevator. Whitley and a disgruntled Jacques follow in. The elevator had buttons of course but there was a Scroll Scanner as well. Willow pulls out her scroll much to Jacques, and Whitley's confusion. When she placed her scroll on the scanner. Her scroll lit up with a circular symbol with some kind of cross with a sun. A screen lit up on the wall next to it with the same symbol.
"What is this?" Jacques questions. Willow doesn't answer however. Just then the elevator began to rise. Jacques looked to Willow expecting her to answer only to see her with a blank expression.
"Mother? What was that symbol?" Whitley asks.
Willow smiles surprising the other Schnee's. "The Symbol of the Queen. Mosura."
Before anyone could ask more the elevator dings. Once it opens they can see Weiss sitting on the floor against the wall with Hope fast asleep in her lap. At his desk sat Ozpin with Professor Goodwitch standing next to him.
"Ah, Ms. Schnee." Ozpin smiles. "I hope the journey to Vale wasn't to stressful?"
Jacques glares and was about to speak when Willow steps up speaking first. "Not at all Headmaster." She looks to Weiss, and more specifically The little girl with wings Asleep in Weiss' lap. Weiss herself held a fearful expression looking over to her father. "Is this everyone?"
"Not quite." Ozpin says. "Your daughter Winter should be here any moment." Just as he had said that the elevator dings behind them. From inside Winter Schnee enters the room with General Ironwood.
"Sorry we're late." The General apologizes.
"Not at all James." Ozpin shakes his head. "Your right on time. Please everyone take a seat."
Everyone dose so while Weiss remains where she is motherly stroking her daughters hair. Jacques looks over to Weiss with fury only to finally notice the little girl. Confusion spreads across his face, but he is interrupted from his thoughts by Ozpin clearing his throat.
"I'm sure most of you wonder why I've called you all here, What it has to do with the Schnee Family, and why Weiss is accompanied by a little Faunus girl." Ozpin states Earning nods from Whitley, Winter, Jacques, and Ironwood. "Roughly 20 years ago Remnant experienced a mass blackout for about a minute and a half. After that rumors of a giant Moth spread." Ironwood nods recalling the events while Willow smiles obviously knowing something. "Those rumors were true."
"Have you lost your mind?" Jacques scoffs. "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
"He's telling the truth." Willow states. "I know because I met her."
"Her?" Winter asks.
"Her name is Mosura, or Mothra depending on the language." Willow explains. "In short, she needed help and I was there. In return she saved your life." Willow says looking to Winter.
"My life?" Winter blinks. "What do you mean?"
"You were two at the time so I doubt you remember." Willow explains. "You were suffering from radiation sickness and almost died from it. Mosura saved you from it"
Winter was in disbelief. She had no idea such a thing could have happened. She had been told about magical beings, relics of power, and reincarnation, but this? Winter didn't know if she could believe it. Ironwood however looked to Ozpin. The seriousness in those eyes told him everything he needed to know. Jacques however rolled his eyes not believing a word.
Willow turns back to Ozpin. "I'm guessing the cycle was disrupted."
"Yes Ms. Schnee. Unfortunately your daughter Weiss was the one given the responsibility." Ozpin says. Willow nods chuckling.
"I new this day would come eventually," Willow admits. "Though I had hoped the cycle would last at least a few more years." She then glances at Winter. "And truth be told I would have thought they would have chose Winter, though I suppose the twins know what's best."
Ozpin nods in understanding. "I agree however with the time upon us I have been trying to aid young Miss Schnee as much as I can. Most of the documents have already been signed. All we need is your signature, and she is in the clear." Ozpin explains handing Willow a document. Jacques began to protest only to have the room glare at him so he sat fuming in anger.
Willow reads it over quickly before signing with a smile. Ozpin takes the document back before handing it to Glynda. " I'll get these submitted." She says before taking her leave.
Jacques scowls at Ozpin. "And what might I ask was that document. I don't recall signing it. Without my signature-"
"But it dose have your signature." Ozpin raises a brow in mock confusion. "The document was sent to be signed by you and it had your signature when we got it back."
That's when Jacques realized what happened. The document from Vale he signed without a second glance. "You bastard! You tricked me!"
"I did no such thing." Ozpin states smiling. "If you signed it without reading it, that's on you."
Jacques eyes widened. He was right. He hated it but it was true. Jacques has been the one to not even read through it. "And what exactly did I sign!"
"Weiss' emancipation." Willow smiles. Winter looks to Willow as if she'd grown a second head.
"Why in the devil would Weiss need to be Emancipated!" Jacques fumed.
"To raise your granddaughter." Ozpin smirks. Jacques, Winter, and Whitley look over to Weiss who fearfully waves with the now vary awake Hope cowering into her mother's chest.
Jacques saw the wings and he was furious. "How dare you!" He scolds stomping over to Weiss. "You not only become a teen mother behind my back, but to that Infurnal animal!"
Jacques was then pulled back by his hair as Willow punched him square in the face with a look that said she would kill any man who opposed her.
"Don't you dare talk about my granddaughter like that!" Willow scowls fists tightening.
Jacques scowls back in fury. "You dare strike me." He growls. Normally Willow would back down upon that tone, but not today. This is where she drew the line. She could deal with the abuse so long as her daughters were safe, but if he even thought about laying one finger on her granddaughter then he would learn what a true Schnee was capable of.
Winter walked up standing beside Willow equally angered by her father. Without hesitation she drew her blade pointing it at her father. "Stand down before I cut you down myself." She growls.
Jacques was speechless. In anger he walked to the elevator. "Come on Whitley, we're leaving." Whitley however didn't move. He glanced at Weiss. Sure he hadn't exactly liked her all that much nor Winter, but he knew that this was wrong. And so he remained seated. Jacques looked back seeing Whitley and scowls. "So be it."
With Jacques gone the group all let out a breath in relief. Willow patted Winters shoulder comforting her daughter who then steeled herself and holstered her weapon. Willow then walks over to Weiss and Hope kneeling down.
"Hi there." Willow says to Hope.
Hope looks over with teary eyes. "Hi." She says.
"I'm Willow. Your grandmother." Willow greats offering her hand. "You won't have to worry about your grouch of a grandfather anymore." Hope looks to Weiss who smiles and nods. Hope then shakes Willow's hand.
"Hey mom." Weiss says waving awkwardly causing Willow to laugh. "Surprise?"
"Vary surprised." Willow smiles.
