Point of view (POV) of Yang

Uncle Qrow went to Mistral. It might seem that those who planned the fall of Beacon are planning a new attack, and he was asked to help the Academy there. I contacted the team of Jaune, I know that they have a bigger loss than us, but they are the only people I can trust this information, and I know that they will do the right thing. Unfortunately, I could not communicate with Weiss after her parents took her away, and Blake, she just disappeared.

I still do not feel ready for combat. I received a prosthesis for my arm, and I still need to get used to it. But more importantly, I have to help my sister to get back to her normal self.

After Ruby woke up and told us about her new identity, I tough that she has the "Don Quixote syndrome" after reading all those books about heroes (to those who do not know, Don Quixote syndrome is basically the same syndrome that the Japanese call Chuunibyou). I tried to train with her, but it seems that she also forgot how to use her semblance. She started to say: "I will only use my explosive magic for combat, I refuse to use any other technique". To be honest, she drove me mad on several occasions, and on others, I can see how bad is her problem.

One of our last conversations made me change my opinion of what to do. We were talking, and she told me that I looked like one of her friends. It seems that she was starting to remember me, that she may have confused me with a friend of one of her crazy hallucinations, instead of recognizing me as her sister, but to be honest, I didn't care at first, the idea of her remember me was the only thing in my mind.

- The similarity that you possess with my partner Darkness is immeasurable. The only difference in your appearance is that she uses a ponytail.

- Well, it seems that your friend Darkness should be as strong and brave.

- She is strong but, Brave is not the correct word

- Is she a coward? Or wh…

Before I could end that question, I felt like I was shooting myself. Am I a coward? I could not find a way to escape that word. But in the middle of my thoughts, she started to talk a little more about her "friend".

- Darkness is not a coward; she would expose herself to save an innocent. But her reasons to put her body in the line are…

Her face turned red. But this conversation made me realized my weakness and how Ruby still thinks about me. At that moment, I decided that there were no more excuses, I would start to get going to help in anything I can. I wanted to be a Huntress for the adventure, but more importantly, I wanted to be a Huntress to do the right thing. At that moment I decided that I will follow my uncle Qrow, and if I go with Ruby, she may recognize Jaune and his team, she may also train in Mistral once we are there with everyone else, so she can recover her memories back.

I left a letter for dad explaining everything, and I took Ruby with me. She seems ok as she was bored to be in the house. We made a little stop in Mom's grave.

- Hi mom. Sorry that I have not come here very often and I am sorry as I could not protect Ruby. Now she cannot remember who she is in reality, but I promise you that I will help her to be back to normal. I also want to apologize beforehand, I am going to see Raven, my mother. But I want to let you know that I haven't stop loving you as the true mother you were for me. I am going to her hoping that she can take me with uncle Qrow. Wish me good luck.

Before leaving I put a white rose in her grave. When I turn back Ruby was still waiting sited on Bumblebee. She had her hood on, to which she had added 2 giant buttons and a line, that made it look like a creepy smile. And for some reason, she is using a patch in her left eye.

- Did you bring your Crescent Rose?

- BaraBaraGatsu (means "Dismembered moon")

- What?

- BaraBaraGatsu, Is the name for the weapon: BaraBaraGatsu.

- Ah… whatever, is your weapon.

- I only hope that it can work as a crosier.

Maybe it was not a good idea to bring her with me. She still hasn't trained at all, and I doubt that in her current state will be able to correctly use her Crescent, I mean her BaraBa… or whatever is the name of the scythe is now.

After just a few days of travel, I was surprised that she did not complain about sleeping in the open air. We were able to find a gas station, so in the meantime that Bumblebee is been charged with its fuel, we entered the gas station to find some clues about Raven and have something to drink.

- Aren't you young to be drinking? (shopkeeper)

- I am certainly not. (Megumin)

- Water, is hot outside. (Yang)

- Oh, sure. (shopkeeper)

- Are you telling me you are too young to drink? (bandit)

- Hey, I want to ask you to not choose for me. (Megumin)

- You look like your regular huntress. And a beauty at that (bandit)

- You are still a minor. (Yang)

- Seriously, not too bulky, not too lean, you are (Bandit)

- Who do you think you are to can choose what I can or can't drink? (Megumin)

- Look… (Yang)

- Just right. And your … (bandit)

- Hey Virgin-san, could you let us some space. You are way too loud and creepy. (Megumin)

- What? (bandit)

- You are worse than Kazuma. At least he has the decency to not creep out the people with stupid hook-up lines like those. (Megumin)

- Hey brat, you should… (bandit)

Just as I see the guy trying to grab Ruby, I punch him in the face, making him fly outside. The Shopkeeper comeback just to see the bandit going out by the punch

- These are on the house. He's been driving me crazy. (shopkeeper)

- Water? really? (Megumin)

- hahaha, you better listen to your older sister. (shopkeeper)

The shopkeeper turns to me after that. I just open the bottle and started to drink.

- So, what brings you around these parts?

- We are looking for someone.

- Hahaha. Not many people come out here. Too far from the kingdoms. The only person worth notin' around here is, well is, Rav...

- Raven Branwen. Thanks again.

- Now miss. You don't want to go messing with bandits. They are a world of a trouble.

- So I hear

When we left the shop, the bandit was still outside waiting for us. I just got on Bumblebee and started the engine. Ruby sited behind me when the bandit started to talk again. It seems that he knew where Raven is.

We went with him and entered the forest. He was with a grin on his face, It was obvious that it was a trap, but if his friends were as strong as him, it will be a piece of cake. After a few hours inside the forest, he asks me to stop.

- This is just right. (bandit)

- Really? That line? (Megumin)

- I'll go ahead and make sure the coast is clear. (bandit)

The bandit started to walk more into the forest. I get out of Bumblebee; Ruby did the same. Then a fire shot was shoot at me, failing. Then the bandit came back with 6 more people

- I can't believe you were dumb enough to let me lead you here. (bandit)

- *in a monotone way* waw a trap, What a surprise. (Megumin)

- Is this everyone? (Yang)

- Yes, little lady, this is it. Unless you count the whole rest of the camp back there. (Bandit)

- That way? (Yang)

- Yes, That Way. (Bandit)

- That is good to know, thanks. (Yang)

- Now pay me ba…

Before he could end talking, I charge against him, I could not let them be the first to attack and probably attack Ruby. I needed to defeat them quickly. So, with one punch I knocked down the one that brings us here. Then I took fist those with guns, I knew that Ruby is fast so she won't be hurt by those using swords. To be honest, their level of skill was at the par of Jaune when he just entered the Academy.

After that, we entered the camp. It seems that they were ready to attack any moment. As we walk, more people get out from the tents to look at us, maybe waiting for a show, or for instruction from my mother. Then we finally arrived at the biggest tent, which will only be for the leader. After a few seconds, my mother get out and take off her mask

- Mom

- Yang

I notice that Ruby was very intrigued by my mom and the area around. Maybe she was trying to remember her. Unfortunately, as far as I know, she did not meet her before.

- So, after all these years, you finally decided to pay a visit. (Raven)

- You know that I have been searching for you. I spent years looking for you. (Yang)

- And you found me. You were patient, determined, and strong enough to make your dream a reality. Well done. But did you needed to be so rough on my men (Raven)

- (Sneaky laughs from Megumin)

- They started. I didn't want a fight, they started. (Yang)

- And you certainly finish it. Right. I'm sure this is overwhelming, But I admit that you proved yourself. So, any questions you have I'll be happy to answer. (Raven)

- I am not here for you. Right now, I need to go with uncle Qrow, so he can help us. I need you to take me to him (Yang)

- Why would I do that? (Raven)

- Because we are family. (Yang)

- I have to say, I am disappointed. After all, you have found me. Why not take that drive you have, and use it to find your uncle if it was that important. (Raven)

- Because he was helping another team, and they can be in any part on the wilds. Searching for them can take ages. But dad told me about your semblance and how it works. So you can save me time if you open a portal directly to my uncle. (Yang)

- You know. It takes real strength to march in here and demand such favor of me. I have to say I am impressed. But let me warn you, if you go with Qrow, you and your little friends will be a lost cause. (Raven)

- What do you mean by all of this? (Yang)

- You do not want to be mix with the things right there, Yang. Ozpin is not the person you think he is. And Qrow is a fool for trusting in him over his real family. (Raven)

- I do not care what you think. (Yang)

- Is your choice. All I am saying is that you are going into something too big for you or any of us. So, I advise you to take a moment to think if you are already where you belong (Raven)

- Save your breath. I need right now Qrow and my friends to HELP my sister. (Yang)

- Your sister?... ha. Well, Aren't you stubborn? (Raven)

- it seems that I get it from my mom. (Yang)

- If that's how you feel then, it seems that we are done talking. (Raven)

- Did you hear me?! I said take me to Qrow! (Yang)

- That's enough. Do not talk that way to our leader (random bandit)

- Psst, Yang, can you put them in one area? I have a Plan. (Megumin)

Even when I was really angry by my mom giving me her back again while she was entering her tent, that was the first time that Ruby was willing to fight again. Maybe this will really help us. When the first person attacked, I sent him into the center of the camp with a punch, after that I started fighting them and pushing them towards the center. Then I saw some circles coming from where Ruby was, the wind started to blow stronger and stronger, the sky went dark suddenly, and the only light was coming from the Crescent Rose. An orb was formed inside the curve of the scythe. Then I heard Ruby saying some kind of spell

- In accordance to divine right to exercise this magic. Let the right heir to this power be able to use it even in other realms. Synchronize with the true wielder and let us experience reality. Manifest with this new weapon and destroy my enemies. EX-PLO-SION!

Then some more circles appear in the air over the center of the camp and a big explosion destroyed everything. I had problems staying standing as the power of the explosion was so strong that I almost was sent away by the pressure of the air. The sound of the explosion made me hear a little noise for a moment.

Even though no one died, many of them were severely injured. I could not believe that Ruby was able to do that. Is she a real Archimage as she told us? When I turn to look at her again, she was on the ground. I run to see what happened, maybe she was injured by a bullet or something. But fortunately, nothing happened to her, it seems that she was only tired after using that power. Then I hear a familiar voice.

- Yang? Ruby?

- Weiss?

Wiess was inside a cage, but then suddenly a ghost-Knight-like appeared at her side and grew up and broke the cage, letting Weiss escape, she ran to us. At the same time, my mom got out of her tent.

- What is that? (Yang)

- Don't worry about it. What happened to Ruby? And what are you two doing here? (Weiss)

- Ruby is fine, and that one is my mom. (Yang)

- Your mom kidnapped me? (Weiss)

- You kidnapped her? (Yang)

- Enough (Bandit girl)

A thunder appears in front of us. It was so sudden, but there was nothing that can let me think that was the semblance of anyone.

- What did you think you are doing? This place will be full of grim in no time if you blast powers like that. (Raven)

My mom then ordered the bandit girl to give back the weapon of Weiss.

- You three in my tent, NOW. (Raven)

- Why? (Yang)

- Because if you want to go with Qrow you will need to know the truth. (Raven)

- This kind of moment is when Kazuma will tell us that this is our last chance to run, and I am starting to think is not a bad idea. (Megumin)

- All of you, start packing the things up, we are moving! (Raven)

- Come on sis. We have to go with uncle Qrow. Come on Weiss…

I could not complete the sentence and Weiss suddenly hugged us. Then she started to cry for a moment.

- I missed you so much. (Weiss)

- I missed you too. (Yang)

- I still don't know who she is. (Megumin)

- Eh? (Weiss)

- Long story. But for now, I am just glad that we are together. (Yang)

We hugged a little more, to can calm ourselves. Then we entered the tent.
