"WHAT?!" everyone including Maria shouted.
"You're from the future?" asked Weiss.
"Oscar and Ruby defeated Salem there?" questioned Blake.
"And she's now back?" asked Yang.
Ireland flinched back at everyone's shouting.
"Ok, ok lets let the kid speak!" Qrow scolded. Everyone then took a breath and looked back at Ireland, who also took a relaxing breath to calm herself.
"Let me explain. In the future, well in the one before I was born, Oscar and Ruby stopped Salem by using their special powers and by bringing all four kingdoms together to fight her and her forces. In the end Ruby Rose used the power of her silver eyes to turn Salem into living ash, while Oscar Pine used the magic that had been passed down to him by Ozpin, to make a urn that could contain her.
Together Oscar and Ruby used the four relics to summon the gods of light and darkness and showed them how they had brought humanity together and banished Salem. The gods were impressed and saw how the two had brought the world together to save their race from Salem, so they decided to let the human race and the funaus live on, and they said they would live among them once more…. The gods only had two conditions" Ireland paused.
Everyone looked at her.
"Which were, what?" asked Yang.
Ireland looked up.
"It was that Salem would put away forever and that they would not give magic to the human race since it could be used irresponsibly. Oscar and Ruby did their part and put Salem's urn in a sealed fortress made of silver crystal (Crystal that can only be made by silver eyes) not far from their homes and told no one what was inside. The two even kept it a secret from their most trusted allies and with Salem gone, the curse on Oscar was lifted, and Ozpin and the other souls were finally free, but the gods let Oscar keep the magic he had inherited just in case Salem ever escaped…. Which happened.
Someone broke into the fortress and accidentally set Salem free and when it happend, Salem put everyone on Remnant other than the gods into a cold sleep, she even did it to Oscar and Ruby. But my parents were able to hid me in a silver crystal cellar, that was able to keep me safe from Salem's spell. When I got out I saw my parents were unconscious and could not be woken up I needed help but everyone who had help defeat Salem in the past was unavailable, including Oscar and Ruby. I had no choice, so I went to the gods of light and darkness and told them what happend. I also told them how much I wanted to save my parents and that I wasn't going to give up until I did so and that's why I was there, I asked for their help and I asked if they could stop Salem. They understood my pain, but they said that they left Salem to be defeated by the humans and funaus and that they were going to leave it to me to make things right, since I was so determined, but the gods didn't say they wouldn't help. They said that they would give me a device that would allow me to go back in time to get the only people who could stop Salem…." Ireland trailed off, letting everyone in the group catch on.
"Oscar and Ruby" stated Weiss in an understanding tone.
"Yes, I may be a silver eyed warrior and a huntress but I'm still in training in both ways, so that's why I didn't fight you with all my will, I didn't want to hurt any of you, and that's why I need Oscar and Ruby…. I need your help to stop Salem and save the future, please you have to help me!" Ireland begged as she got on her knees and bowed her head in front of Ruby and Oscar, who turned to look at each other.
"Can you excuse us for a moment? We need to talk to our team" said Ruby as she pulled Oscar over to the rest of the group, who started ranting as soon as they were all together.
"Are you two crazy we can't help her, we have enough problems as it is with Ozpin's lies, him locking himself in Oscar's head, and this whole Salem war we can't help her. I do feel sorry for her now that we've heard her story, but now is just a bad time" stated Yang.
"Same here, as sorry as I feel for the kid we can't help her" said Qrow.
"I wish there was something that we could do, heck she came back in time to get our help" Weiss replied.
"Yeah, but how could we help if we decided to? I mean we haven't even stopped Salem here. I feel bad but there's nothing we can do" said Blake.
"Hm, well what do you guys think?" Yang asked looking at Ruby and Oscar, who looked at each other and then back at Ireland, who was pacing back and forth while twirling the braided strand of her hair on the left side of her head.
"I think we should try and help her" stated Ruby looking back at everyone.
"Yeah, same here" Oscar agreed.
"Wait what?!" asked Qrow.
"I'm with them" stated Maria as she walked over to Irelands and took the girl's hand in her's. "Honey, we'll help you save your time, I promise" Maria proclaimed.
"That's right we'll do everything we can to help you" stated Ruby putting her hand on Ireland's shoulder, who looked back at the red cloaked girl in disbelief.
"You'll help me?" she asked as if to be sure of what she was hearing was indeed true.
"Yes, we promise we'll help save your parents" said Oscar appearing next to Ruby.
Ireland smiled and wiped a tear from her cheek.
"Thank you"
Oscar and Ruby smiled at her.
"So what do you need us to do?" asked Yang appearing on the other side of Ruby whose eyes along with Oscar's, Ireland's, and Maria's widened.
"I thought you said you didn't want to help" Ireland pointed out. Yang then held up her hand to make her stop talking.
"I said I didn't think I could, I didn't say I didn't want to. And I'm only changing my mind because Ruby's going to help you…. And I feel kind of bad for you" said Yang.
Ireland smiled at her.
"Thank you"
"I'll help too!" stated Weiss coming forward and raising her hand.
"Me too!" added Blake standing beside Weiss.
Everyone then looked at Qrow who sighed.
"Fine I guess I'm in" he stated in defeat. Everyone then smiled at him.
"Ok Ireland, like I said; what know?" asked Yang.
Ireland then reached into her pocket and pulled out a small device that was shaped like a butterfly. It's wings were a turquoise color and its body was black.
"The gods gave me this, with it I can travel to to the past or to the future and it's what we're gonna us to go to my time" said Ireland.
"Wait, we're going to the future?" asked Qrow as Ireland shrugged.
"Well duh, that's where Salem is causing the most trouble.
"Yeah, makes sense but what about our time? Asked Qrow "What will happen when we're not here?" he questioned. Ireland then looked at the butterfly.
"When you go to another time your timeline stops" said the green cloaked girl. The rest of the group looked at her in a funny way.
"So since your here, your time has stopped?" asked Weiss.
Ireland nodded.
"Yes, and when we go my time your time here will stop until you come back" she said.
Everyone then nodded more or less understanding what the girl before them was saying.
"Ok so are you guys ready?" asked Ireland as she put her hand on the butterfly's wings and then looked at everyone else, who gave her nods and thumbs up.
Ireland smiled.
"Thank you, I will be in debt" she stated as she then whispered the location, the year, the day, the hour, and the second she wanted to time travel to and the butterfly gracefully flew out of her hand and into the air above Ireland and the others. The butterfly then turned into the same lightening and thunder portal that the group had seen Ireland come from.
Everyone stared at the portal in awe.
"So now what?" asked Blake, making Ireland look at her like she was crazy.
"It's obvious we jump in!" stated Ireland as she gave a small jump and once her feet were off the ground the wind of the portal picked her up and sucked her in!
Oscar looked up at the portal nervously and bite his lip. Ruby noticed this and took Oscar's hand in hers and squeezed it gently. Oscar flinched and looked at Ruby's hand holding his and then looked at her face.
"It'll be ok, Oscar" she ushered him.
Oscar smiled at her.
"Thanks" he said.
Ruby smiled at him and looked back up at the portal with Oscar.
"Lets go" she stated. And with that she and Oscar leaped into the air and let the portal suck them in while the rest of the team followed.
