Author's Note: Here's the conclusion of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The next film will be an animated one and I should be uploading it sometime in January. I'm sure all of you will be delighted. Until then, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year.

Guest chapter 18 . Dec 19- Lol. I imagined she would be shocked to see a seemingly ordinary rabbit so horrifyingly vicious.
JC of the Corn: You're right. I should have added a little tidbit of Ozpin being smug after his counterpart is proven right. Oh well.
Austin: I know Monty Oum (RIP) has been dead for almost seven years, but I still think it would be in poor taste to star him as the animator having a heart attack.

Eerie music played as the Atlesian knights carefully entered the cave of Caerbannog. They held lit torches to navigate their way through the dark tunnels.
"What do you think they'll find inside the cave?" Jaune asked.
"Hopefully nothing but those writings Ozpin mentioned earlier," Pyrrha said with a hint of worry.
The light of the torches revealed crude writings carved into a cave wall.
Ironwood pointed at the writings. "There! Look!"
The Knights all crowded around the writings.
"What does it say?" Ozma asked curiously.
"What language is that?" Neptune questioned, unable to decipher the writings.
"Brother Maynard!" Ironwood summoned the priest. "You are a scholar."
Pietro stepped forward to examine the writing. "It's Old Atlesian!" he revealed.
"Old Atlesian? What is that Gold-Sith?" Ironwood inquired.
"It's a root dialect that originated in Atlas before evolving into modern Atlesian," Gold-Sith explained. "In this universe, each kingdom has it's own distinct language, although the common tongue is Remnant's primary one."
Oobleck scratched his chin. "Fascinating. I'd like to study these different dialects if possible," he said.
"Of course! Nicholas Schnee!" Neptune said in recognition.
"Of course!" Ozma added.
"What does it say?" Ironwood asked Pietro.
"It reads, 'Here may be found the last words of Nicholas Schnee. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of aaarrrggh'.
"The castle of argh?" Nora asked in puzzlement.
"I don't think that's its name, Nora," Ren said doubtfully.
Yang laughed. "It could be. Or he wrote his own dying scream," she said with a grin.
There was a short pause amongst the knights.
"What?" Ironwood said in puzzlement.
"The Castle of Argh." Pietro repeated.
"What is that?" Oobleck asked.
Pietro shrugged. "He must have died while carving it," he assumed.
Weiss scoffed. "What? That's ridiculous," she dismissed.
"Even after all that's happened so far?" Jaune asked while eating a handful of popcorn.
"Jaune is right. You shouldn't be surprised at this point," Pyrrha agreed with her partner.
"Oh, come on!" Ozma scoffed at Pietro's reasoning.
"Well, that's what it says," Pietro insisted.
"Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'aarrggh'. He'd just say it!" Ironwood said logically.
"Exactly," Weiss agreed with Ironwood's counterpart.
"Well, that's what's carved in the rock!" Pietro repeated angrily.
"Perhaps he was dictating," Neptune assumed.
"Oh, shut up," Ironwood dismissed Neptune.
Neptune glared at the screen. "Well, screw you too," he muttered.
"Well, does it say anything else?" Ironwood asked Pietro.
"No. Just 'aaarrrrggh'," Pietro said once more.
"Aaaauugggh,"Ironwood mimicked.
"Why would the castle be named argh?" Ruby asked curiously.
"Argh is an exclamation of pain. In that case, castle argh may not be a pleasant place," Penny theorized.
"Do you suppose he meant the Camaaargue?" Oobleck theorized.
"Where's that?" Neptune asked.
"Vacuo, I think," Oobleck answered.
"Isn't there a 'Saint Aaauuves' in Vale?" Ozma asked
"No, that's 'Saint Ives'," Ironwood corrected.
"Oh, yes. Saint Iiiiives," Ozma
"Iiiiives," the knights chorused.
Jaune, Ruby, and Nora laughed at the knight's vocal shenanigans.
"Can't they stop with the nonsense already," Ironwood sighed impatiently.
Just then, Oobleck turned around to face the camera and his eyes widened in shock.
Oobleck pointed at something offscreen. "Ooooooh!" he cried in alarm.
"Uh-oh. There's something in the cave with them," Ruby said worriedly.
"I just hope it isn't another killer rabbit," Velvet said while munching on some carrot sticks.
"Yeah. Just one of them was bad enough," Coco agreed.
"No, no. 'Aaaauugggh'," Ozma said in misunderstanding. "At the back of the throat. Aaauugh."
"No, no, no," Oobleck babbled. "'Oooooooh', as in surprise and alarm."
"Then wouldn't that be more like an 'Aaah!" Nora said loudly, startling her partner.
"Nora!" Ren scolded.
Nora scratched the back of her head. "Sorry, Ren..."
"Oh, you mean sort of a 'Aaah'!" Ozma exclaimed.
Everyone flinched at Ozma's 'Aaah!"
"Yes, that's right," Oobleck said as he pointed offscreen again. "Aaaaaah!"
The other knights turned around and recoiled in horror at what Oobleck was pointing here.
"My Oum!" Neptune said in terror.
A dramatic chord rang out. Standing behind the knights was a gigantic, animated monster with green skin, sharp teeth, huge horns, and a set of twenty eyes. The beast let out a deep roar that echoed through the entire cave.
"Ahhh!" Jaune, Ruby, and Neptune exclaimed at the monster, prompting Yang and Coco to laugh.
"Whoa! Now that's the kind of monster I expected them to fight at the cave's entrance," Port said, unnerved by the beast's appearance.
"That's the same monster from the last animated sequence," Nora said in recognition.
"And the one who ate grandfather," Winter said with a scowl.
"It's so ugly!" Weiss said in disgust.
Pietro stepped forward. "It's the legendary Black Beast of-" he began before being dragged offscreen. "Aaarrrrggh!"
Pietro shifted to an animated form as the Black Beast devoured him.
"That's it! That's it!" Oobleck shouted.
Penny's eyes widened in shock. "Father! No!" she screamed.
Winter placed a soothing hand on the android's shoulder. "Penny, it's okay. It's not real," she assured
Penny calmed down and smiled gratefully at Winter for her comfort.
"Run away!" Ironwood cried in terror.
"Run away!" the other knights screamed.
The hungry Black Beast roared and chased the now animated knights through the dark cave.
"Run away! Run away! Run away!" the knights screamed as they fled.
"Run away!" Nora said mockingly while waving her hands.
"I love that running gag," Jaune chuckled.
"They certainly do more fleeing than fighting," Glynda said with an amused smirk.
The knights hid behind a stalagmite while the oblivious monster ran past them and wandered offscreen. As quietly as they could, the knights backtracked behind a cave wall.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Ironwood shushed his knights.
"We've lost him," Oobleck whispered.
"No! Never tempt fate, Bart!" Port chided.
"Too late," Qrow said with a cheeky grin.
The beast roared again from behind the very cave wall the knights were hiding behind.
"Aagh!" they screeched.
Port threw his hands up with a sigh while Yang and Qrow laughed.
"My mistake," Oobleck said in embarrassment.
The chase resumed. The Black Beast got closer and closer with each massive step.
"As the horrendous Black Beast lunged forward, escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack," the narrator said.
Ren cocked his brow. "Wait...what?" he said.
Cut to a drawing room. An animator was seated at a desk with a pencil in his hand. He was working on a drawing.
"Urk!" the animator suddenly croaked and fell backwards in his chair with a thump.
There was a long pause as everyone stared dumbstruck at what just happened onscreen.
"What the h-" Jaune began before he burst into laughter.
Everyone else joined in as they broke into hysterical fits of laughter at the unexpected scene.
Yang caught her breath from laughing. "That was the best!" she said.
"I love this movie!" Nora declared as she wiped away a tear from laughing so hard.
The beast stopped in mid step. Its colors drained until it was reduced to a mere, whitened, outline. Then the outline faded away until the beast vanished entirely.
"The cartoon peril was no more. The quest for Holy Grail could continue," the narrator said.
"I can hardly take the film seriously anymore," Ironwood admitted with a grin.
"I don't think anyone can, general," Penny said.
Meanwhile, back at the mouth to the cave of Caerbannog. The detective and two police officers had arrived. They observed the corpses of Cardin, Russell, and Dove before entering.
"They're only one step behind them. But they're barking up the wrong tree," Winter pointed out.
"I understand comedies aren't meant to make sense, but how are there modern police officers in the dark ages?" Oobleck questioned.
"Maybe there's time travel involved," Ruby theorized.
"Or perhaps the whole thing was a huge re-enactment and the actors all got carried away," Blake added.
"Very carried away," Glynda added, referring to Ozmas earlier rampage.
Cut back to the knights. Ironwood and his party exited the cave of Caerbannog. Outside it was windy and foggy.
"There it is," Ironwood said pointing.
Through the fog, the knights could make out a rickety wooden bridge spanning over a rocky canyon.
"The Bridge of Death," Ironwood announced in a foreboding tone.
"Oh great," Leonardo said with meek sarcasm.
"They're almost there," Winter pointed out, hoping her commander would obtain the Holy Grail.
"How are they going to cross that bridge safely?" Penny asked aloud. "It's aged and missing planks."
"Well, it is called the bridge of death," Yang reminded as she ate some popcorn.
Through the fog, the knights could also make out the shape of a man on the opposite side. The knights carefully edged along a narrow cliff towards the bridge of death.
"Look! There's the old man from scene twenty-four!" Ironwood pointed out.
"More fourth wall breaking," Ren pointed out with a chuckle.
Nora laughed. "Breaking it? They demolished it when the animator died," she recalled, prompting a few chuckles.
"What is he doing here?" Oobleck asked curiously.
"He is the keeper of the Bridge of Death," Ironwood explained. "He asks each traveler five questions-"
"Three questions." Neptune corrected.
"Three questions. He who answers the five questions-" Ironwood began.
"Three questions," Neptune corrected again.
"Three questions may cross in safety," Ironwood finished
Oobleck nodded. "Mm-hmm. He certainly has dyscalculia," he observed.
"What is dyscalculia, professor Oobleck?" Ruby asked.
"Doctor," Oobleck corrected before explaining. "It's a disorder that involves persistent difficulty in understanding numbers."
"What if you get a question wrong?" Leonardo asked warily.
"Then you are cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril," Ironwood answered.
"Oh, I won't go," Leonardo refused immediately.
Coco rolled her eyes. "What a surprise," she snarked.
"He's probably wetting himself already," Jaune chuckled as he sipped a soda.
"Who's going to answer the questions?" Neptune asked.
"Sir Leonardo!" Ironwood called.
"Yes?" Leonardo answered nervously.
"Brave Sir Leonardo, you go," Ironwood ordered, nudging his head towards the bridge.
"I know Leonardo is a coward, but putting him at risk like that is kinda pushing it," Velvet said.
"Well, a knights life is risky. Leonardo should know that,"
"Hey! I've got a great idea. Why doesn't Ozma go?" Leonardo suggested.
Ozma boldly stepped forward. "Yes. Let me go, my liege. I will take him single-handed," he blustered. I shall make a feint to the north-east that s-"
Ironwood put a hand on Ozma's chest to calm him down. "No, no, no!" he cut off. "Hang on! Just answer the five questions-"
"Three questions," Neptune corrected once more.
Ironwood rolled his eyes. "Three questions as best you can, and we shall watch and pray," he ordered Ozma.
"I understand, my liege," Ozma replied as he moved towards the bridge.
"Good luck, brave Sir Lancelot," Ironwood bade his strongest knight." May the God of Light be with you."
"Good luck," Ozpin whispered to his past incarnation.
A few gouts of flame erupted from the gorge as Ozma approached Merlot.
"Stop!" Merlot ordered, halting Ozma in his tracks. "Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see."
"Ask me the questions, bridge keeper. I am not afraid," Ozma boasted.
"What... is your name?"
"My name is 'Sir Ozma of Camelot',"
"What... is your quest?"
"To seek the Holy Grail."
"What... is your favorite color?"
"Blue."
Merlot stepped aside. "Right. Off you go," he said passively.
Ozma paused. "Oh, thank you. Thank you very much," he said gratefully.
Winter was baffled. "That's it? Your name, quest, and favorite color?" she said.
Ironwood wasn't convinced. "It can't be that simple. Merlot must be hiding something," he said suspiciously.
The other knights watched in bewilderment as Ozma carefully crossed the bridge.
"That's easy!" Leonardo said in a cocky tone as he moved towards the bridge with the other knights following.
"Stop!" Merlot ordered Leonardo. "Who approaches the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see."
Leonardo smiled. "Ask me the questions, bridge keeper. I'm not afraid," he parroted Ozma's earlier line.
"Something tells me you will be," Qrow predicted as he sipped his flask.
"What... is your name?" Merlot asked.
"Sir Leonardo of Camelot," he answered haughtily.
"What... is your quest?"
"To seek the Holy Grail."
"What... is the capital of Menagerie?"
Leonardo paused, his confidence evaporating into fear as he didn't know the answer.
Qrow laughed. "There it is," he said.
"It's Kuo Kuana, by the way," Blake said as if it should have been obvious.
"In his defense, overseas travel was far more difficult back then than today," Ozpin reasoned. "I doubt Sir Leonardo has ever been to Menagerie."
"I don't know that!" Leonardo said indignantly.
Suddenly, Leonardo was magically flung from the bridge. He screamed as he plummeted to his death into the gorge of eternal peril.
"At least he didn't wet himself... hopefully, Coco giggled.
Ruby pouted. "He changed the questions. That wasn't fair," she pointed out.
"Well, it's his bridge, so his rules," Qrow reasoned.
Neptune approached next.
"Good luck, bro," Sun said to Neptune.
"Thanks, partner," Neptune replied with a smile.
"Stop!" Merlot ordered, halting Neptune. "What... is your name?"
"Sir Neptune of Camelot."
"What... is your quest?"
"I seek the Grail."
"What... is your favorite color?"
Neptune looked relieved. "Blue," he answered, then realized his mistake. "No, yeloooooooow!"
Neptune was flung screaming his favorite color all the way down into the gorge.
Neptune was outraged. "Oh, come on! My favorite color really is Blue!" he protested.
Sun patted Neptune on the shoulder. "Tough break, man," he said sympathetically.
Weiss looked angered. She no longer had a crush on Neptune, but she still considered him a good friend.
Merlot cackled while Ironwood and Oobleck anxiously stepped forward.
"Well... here we go," Ironwood said apprehensively.
"Don't worry, Jimmy," Qrow said with a smirk. "As long as he doesn't ask what number comes after two."
"Wipe that smirk off your face," Winter hissed at Qrow.
"Stop!" Merlot commanded. "What... is your name?"
"It is James, King of Atlas," Ironwood replied.
"What... is your quest?"
"To seek the Holy Grail."
"What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"Oh, come on! Not that swallow nonsense again," Glynda grumbled.
"How the hell is he supposed to know that?" Winter said with a perplexed looked.
"What do you mean? A Vacuan or Atlesian swallow?" Ironwood questioned.
Merlot looked puzzled. "Huh? I- I don't know that."
And with that, Merlot screamed as he was magically flung into the gorge.
"Ha! He turned his own trick against him," Winter cheered for Ironwood.
"Hoist by his own petard," Port remarked with a smile.
"Huh. Nicely done," Qrow admitted begrudgingly.
Oobleck was impressed by Ironwood's knowledge of swallows. "How do know so much about swallows?" he asked.
"Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know," Ironwood replied simply.
The two Atlesians carefully crossed the bridge as smoke billowed around them from the gorge below.
The scene cut out to screen labelled intermission'. The screens colors shifted as up-tempo organ music played.
Nora, Ruby, and Velvet hummed to the catchy music.
Ironwood and Oobleck reached the other side of the bridge. Ozma was nowhere to be seen.
"What happened to Ozma?" Velvet asked while eating a slice of carrot cake.
Coco shrugged. "He could have run off to find another wedding to crash for all we know," she guessed jokingly.
They gazed around in puzzlement for their missing compatriot.
"Ozma?" Ironwood called out, but there was no answer.
"Ozma!" Oobleck called out next.
Elsewhere, Ozma had been arrested by the police. They were patting him down over a squad car.
"They think he killed Sleet?" Ruby asked.
"I'm not surprised. After he turned that wedding into a slaughter, any cop would see him as the prime suspect," Yang replied, thinking the police caught wind of the earlier massacre at Swamp Castle.
"So, now he's out of the picture," Pyrrha said, sipping a soda.
Back to Ironwood and Oobleck. They continued searching in vain for Sir Ozma.
"Ozma!" Oobleck called out repeatedly.
Ironwood frowned. "It's just Oobleck and I now," he said glumly.
Suddenly, a feint but audible chorus could be heard. Ironwood and Oobleck gaped in wonder as they followed the sound.
"What is that?" Neptune asked as he listened closely.
"It sounds like a chorus," Weiss replied, admiring its beauty.
"Perhaps it's the Holy Grail calling out to them," Oobleck guessed.
The two knights traversed across a wide grassy plain. The chorus grew louder as they went. Finally, the two knights reached the crest of a hill. Over it, they spotted a lake in the distance. They continued until they reached the shore. A boat with a dragon figurehead sailed up to them.
"That's a scary looking boat," Nora said with a shiver.
"Yeah. And nobodies even driving it," Velvet added.
"Maybe it's haunted," Ruby guessed in a low voice.
The knights climbed aboard and set a course across the lake as a fog rolled in. As they sailed through the misty lake, the two knights spotted a small castle sitting on a grassy islet.
"The Castle Argh," Ironwood said in awe. "Our quest is at an end."
The boat reached the tiny island. The two Atlesians climbed ashore and gazed up in relief and wonderment.
"God of Light be praised!" Ironwood declared as he drew Excalibur and knelt alongside Oobleck in prayer.
Ironwood smiled. "They finally did it," he said happily.
"Well done, general. It was an arduous journey, but you made it," Penny congratulated.
"Almighty God of Light, we thank thee that thou hast vouchsafed to us the most holy-"
Suddenly, Ironwood's prayer was interrupted by a familiar twanging sound and the frightened bleat of a sheep.
Ironwood looked up in alarm. "Sweet Monty!" he cried as the sheep landed on him with a thud.
"Where did that sheep come from?" Ruby wondered aloud as she ate some strawberries.
"Wait a second," Winter. "That sound. Didn't we hear it back at-" then she stopped, her eyes widening in realization.
"No..." Ironwood whispered with dread.
"Yes," Qrow said softly in jubilation.
"Hello, daffy Atlesian k-niggets and monsieur James King, who has the brain of a duck, you know," Qrow taunted in his thick accent from the battlements. "So, we Mistrali fellows outwit you a second time!
"What?!" Ironwood shouted with rage.
Winter was also livid that Qrow had occupied the castle and stolen the Holy Grail after Ironwood went through all that trouble.
Qrow, Yang, Ruby and Nora all burst out laughing while the rest of the audience chuckled or smiled at Qrow's unexpected return.
"How dare you profane this place with your presence!" Ironwood shouted angrily. "I command you, in the name of the Knights of Camelot, to open the doors of this sacred castle, to which the God of Light himself has guided us!"
"How you Atlesians say, 'I one more time, mac, unclog my nose in your direction', sons of a window-dresser!" Qrow replied mockingly.
Most of the audience laughed or grinned at Qrow's creative insults. But Ironwood and Winter were less than pleased.
"Of all the nerve!" Winter said angrily.
"How did they even know the Holy Grail was there?!" Ironwood asked incredulously.
Up above, Qrow continued his tirade of taunting. "So, you think you could out-clever us Mistrali folk with your silly knees-bent running about advancing behavior?! I wave my private parts at your aunties! You cheesy lot of second-hand electric donkey-bottom biters."
The audience, sans Winter and Ironwood, laughed even louder.
"Ew..." Velvet said with amusement and disgust at the mention of 'waving private parts as aunties'.
"Donkey bottom biters!" Nora giggled. "I've got to use that one someday!"
"Please don't..." Ren muttered but couldn't hide a grin.
Amidst Qrows taunting, Ironwood and Oobleck furiously ascended a staircase to the castle's front door. Ironwood banged on it uselessly with the hilt of Excalibur.
"I don't think that's going to work, general," Penny said doubtfully.
"I don't care! I've come too far to simply give up," Ironwood replied angrily.
"In the name of the Lord, we demand entrance to this sacred castle!" Ironwood shouted.
Qrow poked his head out of a window directly over the front door. "No chance, Atlesian bed-wetting types!" he refused. "I burst my pimples at you and call your door-opening request a silly thing, you tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms!"
"If you do not open this door, we shall take this castle by force!" Ironwood threatened.
Ironwood and Oobleck were then splattered with excrement poured from the battlements.
"Ewww!" the entire audience groaned loudly in utter disgust.
Jaune even turned a little green while Pyrrha rubbed his back.
"Ugh! So sickening!" Weiss said with a gag.
"My Oum, Qrow!" Winter shouted in outrage. "That's disgusting, even for you!"
Ironwood's face turned red with anger and embarrassment. He shot Qrow a murderous look while clenching his fists.
"In the name of the God of Light and the glory of our-" Ironwood began to demand before he was cut off by more poured excrement. "Agh! Right! That settles it!"
Defeated and humiliated, Ironwood and Oobleck descended the stairs as the jeering Mistrali pelted them with food and other objects.
"Poor Ironwood," Ruby said pitiably.
"You were correct, Ms. Polendina. Castle Argh is an unpleasant place," Oobleck agreed with Penny's earlier assumption.
Qrow cleared his throat, feeling the manure dumping was going a bit too far.
"Yes, depart a lot at this time and cut the approaching any more, or we fire arrows at the tops of your heads and make castanets out of your testicles already!" Qrow threatened.
Every male audience member shifted uncomfortably in their seats at Qrow's testicular threat. Jaune and Neptune even covered their crotches while wincing.
"Walk away. Just ignore them," Ironwood muttered to Oobleck.
"And now, remain gone, illegitimate-faced bugger-folk!" Qrow warned as his fellow Mistrali taunted the retreating Atlesians."And, if you think you got a nasty taunting this time, you ain't heard nothing yet, daffy Atlesian k-n-n-niggets!"
There was another round of laughter from the audience except for Ironwood and Winter, who both sulked at the apparent failure of the quest for the Holy Grail.
Ironwood and Oobleck waded through the water back to shore while the Mistrali continued to taunt them in the distance.
Ironwood seethed with rage. "We shall attack at once," he declared.
"Yes, my liege," Oobleck complied as he reluctantly drew his sword.
Qrow rolled his eyes. "Oh, sure," he snarked. "Because that worked so well the first time."
Ironwood turned to address someone offscreen. "Stand by for attack," he ordered loudly.
Military drums sounded out as an army of knights appeared at the crest of a nearby hill through a shroud of mist. Some of them pantomimed horse riding. Oobleck lifted his visor as he gazed at the army in amazement.
Qrow blinked. "Where the hell did they come from?" he asked in confusion.
"That's the same army we saw earlier," Pyrrha said in recognition.
"Were they following Ironwood the entire time?" Winter questioned.
Ironwood's eye twitched. "Why didn't I summon them at the first Mistrali castle?!" he asked angrily.
Nora shrugged. "I guess it's a plot device," she assumed.
The knights swiftly moved into formation. They sharpened and readied their weapons as they stood at the ready and waiting for Ironwood's command to attack. There must have been a hundred of them in total.
Qrow looked worried for his counterpart, much to the pleasure of Ironwood and Winter. Ruby and Yang also looked concerned.
"Looks like I'll get the grail after all," Ironwood proclaimed smugly. "And the last laugh."
"Let's see your how your obnoxious taunting handles this," Winter added with an equally smug grin.
Ironwood turned back to the Castle Argh. "Mistrali persons!" he shouted. "Today the blood of many a valiant knight shall be avenged. In the name of the God of Light, we shall not stop our fight till each one of you lies dead and the Holy Grail returns to those whom God has chosen!"
Qrow and his goons just laughed from the battlements in the distance.
"Go ahead and laugh while you can," Winter sneered as she sipped a glass of water.
"Charge!" Ironwood bellowed as he and Oobleck ran back towards Castle Argh.
The army of knights gave a great war cry as they followed their king towards the castle. Fast paced action music played as they ran.
"This is going to be awesome!" Nora said excitedly.
"Yeah! We finally get a battle scene!" Neptune added.
The army had just reached the edge of the lake when a police cruiser and van suddenly pulled into frame, cutting them off. The knights stopped dead in their tracks.
"What on Remnant?!" Ironwood said in surprise.
"What are they doing there?" Glynda wondered, believing the police were only after Ozma.
Winter's eyes widened. "Wait...they're not going to-"
Sleet's wife climbed out of the cruiser. "Yes, they're the ones! I'm sure!" she accused, pointing at Ironwood and Oobleck
The police inspector got out of the patrol car as well and moved towards the confused army of knights.
Ironwood sputtered. "This is ridiculous!" he said in outrage. "They had nothing to do with Sleets murder!"
"None of them were even riding horses!" Winter added indignantly.
"Oooooh! Bum rap," Coco said sympathetically.
"Yeah. That's just unfair," Sun agreed.
"Get that one!" Sleet's wife shouted.
"Get back! Right away!" the inspector ordered the other knights.
He seized Ironwood by the arm and pushed the bewildered king towards the police van.
"Put this man in the van," the inspector ordered his officers.
Ironwood had a bag placed over his head as he was shoved into the police van.
Ironwood shook his head. "I can't believe this," he groaned.
"Come on. Put him in the van," the inspector ordered.
Oobleck was also apprehended and pushed into the van alongside his king.
"Awww. I was hoping for a big battle scene," Nora said with a pout.
"Yeah. The Mistrali would have been slaughtered for sure," Weiss said confidently.
"Now that's what I call a cop out," Yang said, prompting groans from the entire theater.
The inspector approached the army of knights. "Come on! Back!" he barked.
The knights backed away as the cops pushed them away from the scene of the arrest.
"It's just a few cops against dozens of knights," Ruby pointed out. "I'm not saying it's right, but what if the knights got angry and fought back?"
"That'd be a bad idea," Pyrrha countered. "If the knights started killing police officers, then they'd all be in serious trouble."
Glynda nodded in agreement. "Indeed. The military might even be called in to take them down," she said.
"Right back. Come on!" one of the cops shouted through a megaphone.
One of the officers took a knights shield away. "Pull that off. My, that's an offensive weapon, that is," he scolded.
The cop with the megaphone looked directly into the camera. "All right, sonny. That's enough. Just pack that in," he instructed as he covered the lens with his hand.
"Monty!" the cameraman shouted as the film cut out to static.
There was applause and laughter throughout the theater. However, Ironwood and Winter looked disappointed by the ending.
Ironwood frowned. "Unbelievable. That whole journey was for nothing," he lamented while lowering his gaze.
"Don't fret too much, James. It's only an arrest," Glynda comforted the general.
"She's right. There's still the matter of due process," Ozpin added to lift Ironwood's spirits. "I'm sure they'll release you due to lack of evidence. As Winter said, neither you or Oobleck were riding horses."
"Let's hope so," Winter said. "But other than the ending, that was an enjoyable film."
"I'll say," Nora agreed with a wide smile. "That was the funniest film I've ever seen."
"Me too!" Ruby, Jaune, and Velvet said together.
"I haven't laughed that hard in years," Port said happily.
"Yeah, that was great," Yang said as she stood up. "But I think it's time we headed out. I've gotta get ready for my fight with Mercury."
"When will your next viewing be ready, Gold-Sith?" Ruby asked the host.
"After the Vytal festival, Ms. Rose," Gold-Sith replied. "Until then, take care everyone. And good luck to Ms. Xiao Long, Nikos, and Polendina in your upcoming matches."
"Thank you, Mr. Gold-Sith. Goodbye for now," Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Farewell," Penny added.
With that, everyone stood up from their seats and departed from the theater in a hurry to make it back to the Vytal tournament.
But little did they and Gold-Sith know, it would be a long time before they watched the multiverse again...
Author's Note: Well, that's it for Volume 3. For obvious reasons, it'll be a while before the cast of RWBY gets another chance to watch the multiverse. Until then, stay tuned everyone.
