It was morning. Or at least Cinder's circadian rhythm said it was. She still couldn't believe she was stuck in another dimension because hers was destroyed by God knows what. Neo was still sleeping.

"Why couldn't you sleep in your own room?" Cinder wondered. Cinder didn't hate Neo, but she didn't particularly like her either. Cinder nudged her awake then got ready for the day. Neo groaned and ran her hand through her disheveled hair. Today was probably going to be either a pain or awkward, perhaps both.

[30 minutes later]

Everyone was ready for the day. However, they were met not with the sight of a movie theater, but a large dining room with a long table that had 25 seats on either side as well as the typical space at the ends for the heads of the dinner. On the table was a range of food ranging from meats and vegetables to seafood and fruit with various drinks in medium-sized glasses. Uatu stood behind the set-up.

"Hello everyone," He said in his usual raspy voice. "I have prepared some food for you all to eat before our next viewing. Before we start eating however, take your seats, I have some news."

"Yeeaaahhhhh?" Qrow answered, though he was mainly thinking about the food.

Salem, Cinder and Neo sat on one side while everyone else sat on the other.

"Utilizing the same method to bring you all here, I was able to pull some people from your universe. You'll be seeing some of your friends very soon. The only issue is that they'll be taken out of different points in your world's timeline."

"Really?" Weiss inquired. She did wonder whether more people would be added to their little unusual group, preferably her sister. "Who?"

"Look and see."

With those words, a portal composed of what could only be described as sparks appeared. A silhouette of a short-haired girl appeared. Exiting the bright portal and entering the room, this person was revealed to be none other than Emerald.

"Emerald." Salem growled at the traitor. Flinching and not wanting to catch any flak, Emerald wordlessly hurried and took a seat on the good side. The next person was the Schnee Specialist herself, Winter.

"Winter!" Weiss got up to hug her big sister.

"Weiss! It's been too long."

Not wanting to spoil the moment, RBY and JNR got up and scooted over so the Schnee siblings could sit next to each other.

"I can't believe you're here, Schnee." Qrow said.

"Me neither, but these are apparently troubling times."

The next person was someone nobody expected. Roman Torchwick ran out and slid on his knees excited to be alive again.

"Woohoo! I'm back! I'm baaaaaack baby!"

Everyone's eyes were wide in shock, particularly Neo's.

"Torchwick!? Seriously!?" Yang was not happy, but Neo was. Neo got up to run and embrace her formerly deceased partner.

"I missed you too, Neo." Roman said softly. Tears of happiness ran down Neo's face, happy to touch Roman again.

"So, guess we'll have a seat next to the immortal witch then."

Behind them, The Watcher smiled.

As they sat down, another person timidly walked through. She was tall, wore bronze colored armour, walked with a nervous stride, and had green eyes and red hair. No one could believe their eyes.

"Y-you! I killed you!"

Ignoring the reminder from Cinder, everyone else was silent. Emerald, TRQ, RWWBY and JNR were in shock along with Roman and Neo who didn't really have an option regarding making noise or not. Oscar was slightly less shocked and was respectfully quiet while Ozpin was shaken inside him. Salem was morbidly curious. This was only the second time she'd seen someone return from the dead.

"He-hello, everyone…" The girl said, timidly waving her right hand.

"P-P-Phyrraaaaa!"

The collective of RWBY and JNR rushed to hug their resurrected friend. Tears trailed from their eyes and cries of happiness came from their mouths. After settling down a little, Phyrra looked towards and approached Oscar.

"So you're Oscar? The Brothers said good things about you. " She asked.

"Really? Well uh, it's very good to meet you Ms. Nikos." He replied, shaking her hand.

"Thank you for taking care of my team, and my friends." She turned to her friends. "I saw some of what happened after I left. I hope you all took care of Oscar, he really tried to help you guys despite not being a Huntsman."

"Uuuhhhh…" Jaune paused as a montage of the majority of them punching, hitting, insulting, roughing up and downright disrespecting Oscar came to his mind. The incident where Jaune caused him to go missing in Argus was at the forefront of his mind. "We tried to do our best." He was now rubbing the back of his neck in regret and embarrassment.

"Thank goodness." Phyrra walked up to Jaune, a warm smile on her face and slapped him. "That's for lying to me." She frowned.

RWBY and NR flinched while Roman and Neo snickered in the background.

The next person to arrive however, was a shock to most of the guests, especially the newly-arrived Phyrra. This girl had yellow eyes and large orange hair that was curled inwards under a black bow. She wore a German style olive green dress. Her legs however, were robotic as well as the metal boots she wore. This was the prodigal daughter herself; Penny Polendina.

"Salutations everyone."

The hugs now centered on the revived-but-now-mechanical Penny. One person wasn't hugging though, and that was the visibly shaken Phyrra.

Phyrra ran towards Penny, pushing the others off her, to hold her herself and beg forgiveness from the girl she killed.

"I-I-I'm sorry," She barely got out of her now hyperventilating breath while trying to hold back her tears. "I didn't mean to. I didn't want to hurt you. I was so scared, I-"

"Friend Phyrra," Phyrra looked up, her eyes as wide as saucers. "It wasn't your fault."

The two embraced and everyone got ready to eat. There were laughs. There were silences. But most of all, there was an enjoyment of the food laid out before them. Salem had a problem though. No subordinate of hers ever brought her modern food. Not even Cinder. She'd have to punish her later. After they were done, The Watcher approached.

"Hello everyone," the large-headed entity said, "I don't have a viewing right now, but rather, something to show you all." Uatu waved his hand and a door appeared on his left with a sign that read "MUSEUM" on a placard. He led the interested parties through the door, into a large room with various items large and small within.

"Oh?" Salem began. "What's all this?"

"This is a collection of things from around the multiverse. Take a look and you can see the universe these things originate from. Please be careful though. While everything here are merely copies, they are just as dangerous as the genuine articles they were crafted after."

Our cast spread out and ventured into the room. James went to an exhibit that contained things from a familiar universe.

The exhibit had a standing plaque that read "The Bioshock Universe". There was a large picture of Rapture on the wall, as well as a framed map of the city. Various items adorned a display case including a revolver, a pack of cigars, animal-themed masks, Plasmids and posters that explained their use. Six life-size statues flanked the display. To the right was a statue of Andrew Ryan, the plaque that identified him laid at his feet with a quote under his name, "A man chooses. A slave Obeys." Next to him was a statue of a disfigured man wearing dirty and bloody clothing as well as a cracked rabbit mask. The statue held a knife and was as a Thuggish Splicer by the plaque at his feet. The third statute was of a woman named Sophia Lamb. A quote on her plaque read, "Utopia is not a place... but a people. It will exist the moment we are fit to occupy it."

For some reason, James had a bad feeling from the woman. The statues to the left were of the suited figure and the little girl labeled "Bouncer-Class Big Daddy and Little Sister." The statue next to them was of a similar looking dive-suited creature except it was taller, had a helmet with a singular port and what appeared to be a camera on the top of it's helmet. It's label said "Notable Alpha-Class Big Daddy: Subject Delta A.K.A. "Johnny Topside""

"So they are human." James inferred via the nickname. For some reason, he didn't like the figure he was looking at. It felt like a mockery. As if every project he ever worked on and everything he ever aspired for was given form and turned on him. He didn't know why, he just felt that way.

"What's wrong Winter?" Weiss had just approached her elder sister after noticing her staring at Salem for a period of time.

"The items from that universe seem to be military-based. I want to take a look, but that would mean standing next to her." The elder Schnee scowled.

Salem found herself at a display of various aircraft and insignias as well as some statues labeled "Strangereal". The image on the wall was of a craft she had never seen before(an F-22A) passing by a woman in a suit on some kind of tower. A Collection of display cases held various Items. The largest had a tail from a plane. The imagery and numbers however, were covered in three white lines of paint. Another had miniature replicas of what she assumed were superweapons. One case had various squad badges and name tags. Two that briefly caught her attention had the names "Heartbreak 1" and "Full Band" on them. Another contained a single red wing from some other kind of aircraft. A wheelchair sat amidst the various things, labeled "Shamrock's Wheelchair." Walking through the exhibit, Salem passed a black aircraft with the number "015" on its side labeled ADF-11F Raven/Caution! COFFIN Equipped, NEMO Present." But what really nabbed her attention was something that seemed out of place. A large display case held three paintings that seemed to tell a story. The first showed a young girl with blonde hair wearing a crown and fancy clothes, perhaps a princess, with a blue dove in a cage. The image in the middle was of a figure holding a lantern. The figure was androgynus and was wearing a cloak and winged helmet. The name "Razgriz" was written underneath it. The third painting was of the blue dove, now free, flying towards the castle in the sunset. A single plaque stood before the paintings. It read, "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns,..." Salem frowned. The last part was damaged and unreadable. This creature reminded her of the Fairy Tales she would read when she was still human. Stories she would later tell her own daughters. There was something gnawing at her. A desire to know the legend, to complete her knowledge of the verse. If she gets to choose what to see this time, this is what she wanted to see.

Time passed, everyone finished looking through the room. When they entered the dining hall, it had transformed back into the theater room. The Watcher was standing in the corner, a table with a four-button remote next to a letter and a sign on it was in the room under the screen . Cinder picked up both and read aloud, " In order to focus on rebuilding your world while also answering your questions, I have used a portion of my power to create an autonomous copy of myself. Also,whoever gets the remote first gets to choose the first viewing. Afterwards, take turns-Uatu. P.S. The sign is for Ms. Neopolitan."

Taking the sign, Neo held it in the air and waved it around a bit. Nothing happened. Disappointment visible on her face, Neo spun the sign in her hand. The words, "Well this is fucking useless." appeared on the other side.

The others, to Neo's confusion, wore surprise on their faces.

"Holy shit! Neo! You can communicate now, look!"

Listening to Roman, Neo looked at the sign. The disappointment of her face gave way too happiness at the sight of her thoughts of the board.

"Well, I guess I get to have the pleasure of-"

"Cinder, if you please." Salem had her hand outstretched.

Feeling a little cheated and intimidated, Cinder begrudgingly handed the remote to Salem.

"Now, enough standing around. Let's take our seats everyone."

Reluctantly following the Grimm Queen's lead, the others sat down, not knowing what kind of world she was interested in. Honestly, most of them thought it had something to do with villains taking over or evil sorcerers.

Feeling awkwardness in the air, Emerald took the fifth seat in the 17th row. Not wanting to leave her alone to feel bad because of Salem's presence, Oscar took the fourth seat on Emerald's left. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Blake and Yang scooted into the seventh and eighth seats to let Winter sit next to Weiss in the sixth seat. Penny sat in the fourth seat in the same row, sandwiching Ruby between her and Weiss. Phyrra took the fourth seat in the 15th row, directly to Jaun's left.

The lights dimmed as Salem, curious and expecting, pressed the play button(thank goodness Mercury taught her how to use a T.V.).

The sound of ocean waves, sea birds, engines and explosions could be heard as a man spoke.

Albert Genette: "Who do you think is covering up the battle?" The man sounded young.

A reply came from an older-sounding man as an Island that seems to have been converted into some kind of base could be seen below as the singing continued.

Jack Bartlett: "Listen, the only thing across that ocean is Murska Airbase, that's Yuktobanian territory."

Salem frowned. She wanted to learn about the Razgriz, and instead seems to be being shown political issues. Winter however, was happy. She had wondered what this universe was about afterall and now had a chance to see the military capabilities of a whole nother reality.

"Yuktobania?" Weiss mused, "...must be a hostile Kingdom they happen to be bordering."

Genette: "But, haven't we been allies with the 'Yukes since the war fifthteen years ago?"

Two pilots are shown walking towards their base as ominous music begins to play.

[Ace Combat 5 ost: The Unsung War]

Cum historia. (When History)

Jack Bartlett spoke as Kei Nagase's F-5E, an aircraft of a make unknown to the audience, was shown trying to outspeed a missile.

Mutat valde Razgriz (Changes Greatly Razgriz)

Bartlett: "Nagase, you keep flying like that and you'll die real soon."

"Amazing. The aircraft in this world are very unique." Winter said. "They vaguely resemble early models of Remnant aircraft but are still extremely different." She wondered how fast they were. The plane she saw so far looked outdated, but still small enough and probably fast enough to give Atlesian craft a challenge.

Nagase, a beautiful woman standing next to a fighter with an aircraft number of 007 fixed her hair and replied, "I won't die soon."

A camera focused on Nagase, now just in pants and a tank top, as she read a book by the light of a window.

Revelat ipsum (Reveals Itself)

Bartlett: "You're flying number 2 on my wing."

Wardog Squadron gathered in a room with Bartlett.

Primum daemon scelestus est (First As An Evil Demon)

"Gotta Keep an eye on you or who knows what you'll get yourself into."

"Number 2?" Ruby wondered, "What that means she'll be his partner, right?"

"That's correct." Winter confirmed. "Just like in teams of Huntsmen."

"What is this, a movie trailer?" Tai questioned.

"More like scenes from a world that's been cut like one." Raven replied.

"Looks good so far, I'd watch it." Qrow added, drinking just enough from his flask to get a buzz going while still being able to see straight.

Cum potentia (With Its Power)

Sua daemon fundet (The Demon Rains To The Earth)

Aircraft were shown outrunning missiles as an aging mechanic with balding hair was seen talking to someone offscreen.

Pops: "The guy was probably hating this more than anybody. You used to have a lady-friend over in Yuktobania…"

"Hmm," Blake was interested, she knew her story tropes well after reading so many books, and Romance was only third to Pornography to her(even if she still refuses to recognize that she reads the latter to her teammates). "If he has a romantic partner in the enemy Kingdom, this person could fall under suspicion or even actually be a traitor."

Meanwhile, Ironwood was already thinking they were a traitor. "Issues like that are why I banned my soldiers from having relations with Faunus from Menagerie."

A missile was shown hitting Bartlett's F-4G, his plane. Allen C. Hamilton was shown holding something the viewers could only describe as an outdated scroll, followed by Nagase besides her Tiger II, bartlett sitting in his chair with a worried expression, Bartlett's Tiger II in its hanger and a close-up of it's livery; a broken red and white heart with a knife run through it, the symbol of Heartbreak 1.

Nagase: "Captain!"

?: "Warning! Warning! Wardog Squadron, return to base immediately!"

Genette posed a question. "What happened?"

Hamilton: "Yuktobania just declared war."

[Ace Combat 5 ost: First Flight]

A large bridge was briefly shown as the camera switched to the cockpit of an aircraft.

"Hmm, very different from the inside of Atlesian craft…" James noted.

Chopper: "Edge, you lead the formation."

Nagase: "No, Blaze is leading…" The screen flashed, the words "War is upon them." appear. "I'll protect his six o' clock, and I'm not gonna lose another flight lead."

A Tiger II rolled onto the tarmac for takeoff.

A formation of three Tomcats were shown, however, the camera panned to show a fourth(Marcus Snow's) speeding past the rest.

Both James and Winter raised an eyebrow. Whoever was in that thing had broken formation. They assumed it was This "Blaze" and were surprised that such a reckless flier would be flight lead.

?: "Quit screwing around, this is war. The enemys all over and they're gonna eat you alive."

The words "History Repeats…" flashed across the screen as planes were being shot down over a base. A panicked pilot trying to escape could be heard over the radio.

Archer: "The engine won't start up. C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon!"

The scene was terrifying. No one could imagine being stuck like that, just waiting to be killed.

Another flash of words, this time saying "Once Again" appeared.

The Plane that was stuck finally took off to join his fellow Tomcats in safety as the words "Four Wings As One" appeared.

Archer: "This is Grimm, I'm taking off."

Nagase: "Be careful Grimm. I'll cover you."

Dogfighting is shown as an obnoxious voice fills the theater.

Orson Perrult: "The goal of this operation is simple: to invade and occupy the Yuktobanian mainland.

Weiss frowned. "I'm not a soldier or anything, but that doesn't sound simple at all!" She exclaimed.

Penny also did the calculations and found that if that was so simple, Salem would've won a long time ago.

"It's never that simple." Phyrra thought. "All victories are hard-won and almost always require sacrifice."

Roman and Neo meanwhile, were just enjoying the show.

"I wish this was a movie back in Vale. That way we could sneak in and watch it." Roman said. Neo nodded her head in agreement.

Images of war are shown, such as a cluster bombing and dogfighting.

Archer: "What are we gonna do Booby? I'll follow you."

Nora started laughing, "Hehe, "Booby.' Ren, Jaune and Phyrra just blankly looked at her with faces that said "Really?"

?: "If enemy ships start coming in ca-"

?: "Ballistic missile incoming!"

A large explosion in the sky was seen, but was soon followed by something even more impressive. A white, sleek craft with upward-swept wings.

Nagase: "The Arkbird?!"

"What kind of craft is that!" James exclaimed. While not as advanced as Remnant tech, it still looked like it could compete.

"Judging from the design," Penny started, "it appears to be a low-orbital spacecraft."

Spacecraft? The people of Remnant could never reach space due to the fact that dust doesn't work up there, but these people could? What kind of planes were these? "That design is beautiful." Winter thought. "If only we could reach the limits of outer space."

"A shame Watts isn't here, he would've loved to study that thing." Cinder added.

Salem was on the verge of ignoring the viewing altogether and taking a power-nap. She had seen enough human conflict to the point where she could sleep through a war if she wanted, that is, until she heard Nagase say something interesting.

A large squadron of eight planes appeared.

Archer: "What was that?!"

A large military submarine, the Hrímfaxi surfaced.

Nagase: "It's like this enemy came straight out of the demon legends."

This line made Salem widen her eyes.

Bartlett: "Goddamnit Nagase!"

A bird, perched on a destroyed structure, flew away, leaving the chaos of its environment.

Nagase: "That can't-it can't be…"

Genette spoke as the camera focused on Nagase's red book as it rested on a black leather sofa couch.

Genette: "I know a little about that famous legend too."

The words "The Demons Of Razgriz" forebodingly appeared onscreen as the music stopped.

Genette and Pops stared at a unique plane that seemingly had four wings which was covered by a tarp.

Pops: "Look at that wreckage. I'm amazed they're still making 'em like this."

Genette: "They?" Whose this "They" you're referring to?"

[Ace Combat 5 ost: The Unsung War]

The words "Enemies In The Shadows" appeared on-screen.

Cum historia (When History)

Landing gear touched a tarmac as Genette picked up and opened Nagase's book. The title "A Blue Dove For A Princess" was seen on the cover.

Mutat valde Razgriz (Changes Greatly, Razgriz)

Nagase: "Razgriz, the demon from the world of fairy tales."

An image of the Razgriz was shown. It was a pale androgynus figure wearing a winged helmet and a black cloak or robe with blue and gold accents. A helicopter landed as a flock of seagulls were seen covering the island.

Genette: "Captain, do you believe in the Demon of Razgriz? The Demon of The North Sea."

Salem started paying attention. It would be interesting to learn what role the mysterious Razgriz plays in this war if it was real. The others however, were confused with the fantastical twist on the war story unfolding before them.

"What's a Razgriz?"

"Is it real?"

"Does it appear and blow everything up?"(This was Nora's question.)

"Razgriz?" Blake thought the term sounded familiar, but she didn't know why.

Revelat ipsum (Reveals Itself)

A guard on the Sand Island base turned around and aimed his rifle, a picture of a princess was shown as well as Genette in his room, Kirk the black lab sitting next to Pops, and Genette looking outside some window blinds with a fearful expression.

Primum daemon scelestus est (First As An Evil Demon)

Yuktobanian soldier: "I've never seen a stupid fairy tale come true like this!"

The words "Truth Beyond The Dark" flashed on-screen as a drop of blood is seen and a soldier is heard over a radio.

Yuktobanian Captain: "It appears you're up against Razgriz itself out there."

[Puddle Of Mudd: Blurry]

Nagase is shown in a snowy area, holding an off-screen enemy at gunpoint.

Genette: "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself…"

Bartlett is shown instructing rookies in a room.

"...first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies."

Genette and Bartlett are shown conversing in front of a hanger at sunset.

Ozpin was also interested. As Ozma, many stories of fantastical creatures and demons abounded before the first destruction of humanity. More often than not, they usually turned out to be some fool messing with magic too advanced for themselves. Legends in modern Remnant were usually newer tales and retold versions of old ones, but not many people were particularly religious these days, and this creature sounded like an indiscriminate destroyer.

Winter thought that if this world had Grimm, this Razgriz would be a unique kind of Grimm like the Nuckalavee, but since it didn't, the other possibilities were that it's a fairy tale taken seriously by superstitious or religious soldiers, or the actual thing showed up. War is a "great change" to history after all.

The words, "Flying Into The Unknown" appeared on the screen. "However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns."

Four F-2As(Viper Zero) flew past three Tomcats over a city with smoke coming from a stadium below. The plane on the right exited formation, allowing the rest to enter a Missing Man Formation.

The audience payed attention to the journalist's story. It sounded fantastical and terrifying, yet the music being played made it sound inspirational. Salem payed close attention while Winter's eyebrows raised at the Viper's display that also caught Ironwood's attention.

"It returns?" Ozpin thought. "What kind of creature is this?" The ability of the Razgriz to seemingly resurrect reminded him of his own situation of being an immortal.

As for Salem, other than the Razgriz being able to come back from the dead, it just sounded like a really destructive Grimm. Just what was it that set this creature apart? What made it special if it was real? It's nature?

"What's wrong?" Weiss asked her sister.

"Those planes, Weiss, do you know what Missing Man Formation is?"

"Well, if I remember correctly, its a type of formation used to honor fallen soldiers, typically by leaving an open space where they would be if they were alive."

"Exactly," Winter confirmed. Looking back at the screen, she hardened her expression. "...something bad happened over that city."

"Their Unsung War..." flashed onscreen followed by a lone Tomcat flying through the sky as the music increased. "Will Begin."

"Ooooooooh. Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? When you shoved it in my face? This pain you gave to me!

Wiess looked over to her teammate, who had stars in her eyes as she ogled the new weaponry, not paying attention to anything else. Looking over to Yang and Blake, she saw them leaning against each other, swaying their heads with the music like a couple out at the movies. She resumed watching the screen, smiling.

While ogling, Ruby had a thought. "Hey Winter, what's an "Unsung War?"

Winter thought hard. "Well, an Unsung War is a war that isn't talked about or celebrated."

"But why?"

"Well, it might be so horrible that no one would want to talk about it. Another reason would be if it was secret and no one knew it happened at all."

Those in the audience that overheard immediately thought about Ozpin and Salem.

A Tomcat rolled in the air, giving way to the image of a squadron of F-15/MTDs(Grabacr Squadron) breaking out of finger-four formation. More images appeared: the warning systems for a ship, a missile being fired upon, the underside of an AWACS, the Kestral Fleet, an SSTO supply ship being launched on the mass driver, the barrel of a machine gun firing. Also shown was a Tomcat flying upwards to outrace a missile, the Kestral firing its guns, Kirk the dog turning his head in surprise, Nagase reading her journal, Chopper resting on his couch, the haunted face of Archer and a black-and-white picture of all of them, shown as a picture in a newspaper. The incomplete headline of a reading, "The Four Wings Of-" was flashed. Nagase had her arms crossed as she relaxedly looked to her right where Chopper was flexing his right arm while holding Archer in a mock choke-hold. Interestingly, Chopper's bicep blocked the face of the fourth member of the squadron who was standing right behind him.

"Huh," Tai thought, "We almost did a picture like that." His Thoughts were on the team presented before him. Four members, like a traditional Huntsmen team. Their casualness reminded him of STRQ's golden days.

Four aircraft recklessly flying in all sorts of was -some on the side, some spinning upside-down- were shown with aircraft refueling in midair, men escaping from a room as the lights flickered above them, the Kestral getting hit by a torpedo, the panicked face of Genette as he and the others exited the room, a missile striking planes on a base, a Tomcat refueling and Wardog members, including Nagase, saluting. Four Tomcats were seen in a dogfight, followed by the faces of Harling, Admiral Anderson and Bartlette. A Tomcat nearly crashing was shown, quickly replaced by the cool face of Nastasya Vasilievna Obertas and the dusgusting face of Perrault. Archer was seen petting Kirk, standing behind Pops, and flying in a Fighting Falcon. Harling was seen making a speech, the Razgriz planes were shown at night, a clock was shown as Hamilton left a room, raising his arms in frustration. More explosions, gunfire, and a zoom-in on Anderson graced the screen, ending with the four planes in Missing Man Formation. The title; Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War appeared on the screen.

"Huh, I guess it is a movie in other worlds." Roman said.

"That formation again, the fantastical elements, what happened in this world?" Winter wondered. It was good question too since Missing Man is a ceremonial formation and not a combat one. Why risk oneself by flying like that into battle?

"That was awsome! we should see more of that world."Ruby said.

"I agree." seconded Winter, smiling. Weiss didn't expect her sister to be into these viewings right off the bat, but was just glad she was enjoying herself. Salem though, was bothered. All that viewing did was tease her. Sure, it made the Razgriz's reputation in that world clearer, but the focus was on those four planes. Were they special somehow.?Getting up, Salem tossed the remote to Cinder and moved towards the door of the MUSEUM.

"Mistress?" Cinder called. Salem didn't answer. She was focused on something else. Not wanting to offend her queen, the Fall Maiden waited until she got back to play her viewing.

Entering the labyrinth of displays in a silence that put off the rest of the audience, the witch headed straight for the Strangereal Exhibit. Not knowing the reason for the Grimm Queen's abrupt leave, some in the audience took time to converse while others enter the MUSEUM to look for things of interest as well.

Ozpin -in Oscar's body of course- decided to go in. He found Salem sitting in a chair, surrounded by the antitheses of magic reading the red book from the viewing: A Blue Dove For A Princess.

"Found something of interest?" the young man said.

Salem looked up, not amused. "Ozma," a slightly faux smile formed on her face. "...how kind of you to try and have common interests with me again."

"I'm not trying to start anything Salem. I'm just curious."

Salem looked down. "Do you remember the stories from our time?"

Ozpin was puzzled. "Of course." he answered. "Is this about the Razgriz? Did it remind you of something?"

Salem didn't answer that last question. "I wanted to learn the final part of the legend, yet I can't even find it in a book literally written about it."

"May I?" Ozpin held his hand out. Deciding it couldn't hurt, Salem handed Ozma the book. After flipping through a few pages, he found something.

"Listen to this: It was when the dove finally made its way to the rocky mountain that an old tree began murmur to itself. "An ominous wind is blowing. It is about to reveal itself. I suppose. It doesn't seem I can make it through alive this time around. Demon of Razgriz...Hmm? A hero, this time?

"What is it?" the dove asked casually.

"When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself. First as a dark demon." The old tree began to tell the same story the dove heard at the castle. "As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns. This time, as a great hero."

"Hero? Demon? What does it do?" the dove asked.

"When I saw it for the first time, I was young and thin. I had fewer branches then. In those days, Humans often battled each other. Razgriz then brought about a storm which kept raging for seventy days and kept scattering huge hailstones from above. Trees and grass perished and nothing was left for the humans and animals to live on. Consequently, this soil became desolate. All living things died, one after another. Friends of my kind, four-legged beasts, humans, and birds like you. Everything in this land was deprived of breath. In the end, Razgriz killed none other than itself. Shortly after, this place became a bare mountain as you see."

"So, it was an evil being, wasn't it?" the dove asked.

"...Nay." the old tree answered as if it was uncertain itself. It breathed out and took a deep breath in.

"The story still continues. After a long, long time had passed since the land had died out, a traveler came to this land. The traveler cured those who suffered from disease, resurrected the rotted soil, gathered all those people who sheltered themselves away from her and founded a village and a town. The rivers were refilled with water. The soil became a wheat field. This country once again flourished. Thereupon, the traveler decided to leave the country.
