Chapter 13: A bird flew her cage

Right now in the manor everyone was brimming in joy right now. With nora cheering loudly hugging ruby right now in joy

"Our broadcast went through…it went through!"she cheered but ruby gasped for air in her lungs

"Can't breath…need…air…in my lungs…please"ruby begged as she released her nerovusly laughing with a smile.

"Dude this is awesome…i mean did the broadcast go through to the other kingdoms. I…did everyone else see it"razma asked before suddenly hairett scroll started to buzz like crazy as she pulled it up seeing it was artemis

"Its…artemis"hairett said

"Then answer it and see if she got some good news"mercury said as she did with artemis laughing in joy on the other end

"Well…it seems that our plan worked right now. Because right now we have great news right now guess who just called me"artemis said confusing them

"What are you talking about cherry?"carmine asked before she revealed some great news

"Right now i just got broadcast from the atlas carriers. I have them asking for orders and well tomorrow were going to evacuate all of atlas and mantle. We even intercepted chatter from soilders in base. Their rioting against talon"artemis said as they all stayed silent before rogue screamed at the top of her lungs

"Thats amazing! We can actually win…we can win!"rogue said in joy finding new hope

Neo was clapping her hands in complete joy right now"this is wonderful. The others must have seen it…maybe even salem"She signed with a grin with meri laughing holding her stomach

"That chick gonna be pissed by that taunting oh i pray she doesn't beat cousin right now"meri said before realziing her mistake as jennifer tug at her ear as she whined knowing why

"Thanks sweetie for putting that in everyone heads"jennifer growled but june was clapping her hands the entire time smiling

"Yeah uncle"june innocently cheered as miller smiled picking her up hugging her close right now sighing

"Thats right sweetie though…artemis we'll help you with evacuation tomorrow. Right now find any troops you can hold ground incase she attacks right now"miller said

'I shall you should all get some rest. Then we can come up with a plan to rescue oscar and "artemis said disconnecting the call as willow sighed with a smile

"Well all of you should get some rest. I'm sure the others are taking amity right now to vacuo"williow said as ruby sighed rubbing her arm for a moment

'That would be smart since my mom is the summer maiden…though i hope penny is okay."ruby said as blake placed a hand on her shoulder

"She will be although…wait if she off to vacuo she could claim the relic from beacon. "Blake stated as they all realzied that

"Yes! We get two more relics the staff and uh…whatever beacons is"leah said

"Well from what jinn showed us its either a crown or sword. Although….i wonder if another naked lady will appear"may mentioned as they stared at her

"Uhhhh what?"carmen questioned creeped out

"Don't worry about were all tired. Lets get some sleep because tomorrow where going need it right now"mercury said as they all agreed on that right now deciding to get some sleep for tomorrow right now

Once upstairs they all mainly where sharing a room together. As they got some beds from town right now with weiss in her bed as falk was going to share it with her. Ruby was sitting on a bed as asani was cuddling dusk who kept meowing trying to break free right now. While eria was humming staring outside seeing something right now several mantas flying through the city forming a presence.

As zephyra sighed in immense relief"the military is back on our side. I'm happy right now"she said with her tail swaying like crazy

"Same here because maybe if where lucky with the riot ace ops got out along with the general"ruby said excited right now

"Your right although….i'm worried about the others. They still haven't come back do you think the–"blake was stopped mid sentence

"Oh no if you say their dead i'm sure they aren't. Because tommorrow were going to search for them after we regroup with artemis to prepare a defense"yumi warned as the cat faunus sighed. Dawn was their shifting her appearance into a small black kitten. She meowed getting the cat attention who smiled picking her up placing her on her bed. As the small kit curled up on her lap as she scratched it making dawn pur enjoying the pets

Velvet smiled at that"Well lets all get some sleep. The sooner we get to bed the sooner we can save the others"she replied as they all agreed on that getting some sleep. As they did ruby sielntly prayed her sister was okay right now wherever she is

Although in the tundra outpost the others watched the broadcast right now. But right now cardin cheered at the top of his lungs seeing that right now

"Lets go! It went through that mean sun and the others saw it in vacuo"cardin cheered as bonnet laughed

"My npehw better have though why did it cut out?"bonnet questioned as her tail swayed around

"My guess is a jammer it makes the most sense or the arena lost signal. Bet cousin pissed the ghost chick off"maris joked as they all laughed at that with jaune shaking his head

"Well i would be too although….the storm should be passing in the morning. Maybe we should get some sleep for the night"jaune said but lazuli cleared her throat for some reason

"Whats up frog faunus in your throat"yang joked

"It might be mitch"onxyia replied making them stare at her as she wasn't the best at jokes.

"Leave the jokes to your boyfriend wolf ears. If hes uh still your boyfriend"cardin hsiantly replied making her upset right now. Maris noticed that sighing as she was pissed off for what she did to her early. She was hurt but she knew she felt guilty

Maris patted her on the back"chill out i'm sure my cousin will forgive you. Besides…revenge"maris said before groping the girl on the chest making her go flush shrieking as jaune and cardin covered their ears turning away from this

"Nope….i'm not going to be involved in this"jaune stated

"Agreed…ughhh stop teasing each other with us around. You don't see me and jaune doing it"cardin said making yang grin

"Because you would be touching dongs with each other"yang joked as cardin went flush in embarrassment hearing that with bonnet snickering right now sighing

"Well what were you gonna say kid?"bonnet aksed the thief

'I as gonna ask whos taking first watch along with that we have sleeping bags. But we need to share since it'll get colder here tonight"lazuli said as that was a predicament.

Immediately yang grabbed a sleeping bag unrolling it out infront of the fire unzipping it laying it out like a futon to their confusion

"What are you doing xiaolong?"cardin asked

"A trick i learned staying in camp. We can have two of us take watch just incase and switch every four hours. "Yang said before unzipping another one putting it over the second sleeping bag like a blanket. She did this with another one

"Five of us get some sleep. Then we rotate this one is the girls bag you two share your own"yang said pointing at the two boys with jaune and cardin staring at each other

"You better not be into cuddling jauney boy"cardin warned

"No thats her"jaune said pointing at the wolf who was now cherry red in the face as her tail wouldn't stop wagging with bonnet grinning at her

"Well i won't mind i dig chick…"bonnet stopped humming at her as the wolf stared at her before taking a spot near the campfire

'I'm taking first watch. I am not being teased anymore….this is your form of revenge for me being a prick early"onxyia said as it might be. Qucikly maris, bonnet and lazuli took one sleeping bag. As cardin and jaune took the other with yang and onxyia taking first watch for the night

While they did the wolf stared at the moon hoping her boyfriend is okay wherever he is right now. Along with the twins she hopes those two are safe and sound as well.

But right now in monstra in her throne room was salem who saw the broadcast not bothered by it in the slightest. Except for some of the comments directed to her as selket was growling in rage on what that little traditor called her

"That little….arghhhh my queen please let me teach that…traditor a lesson"selket begged and pleaded on her knees. With hazel crossing his arms

"The child has had enough torutre. Do any more and then we will not get the infromation we want"hazel said but salem sat their for a moment staying silent for a moment. But soon enough she stood up walking down her throne as the hound followed her side before calling out to someone

"Mrs parker… …dracona why did you and our fail maiden leave"salem said as walking into monstra right now was adder, betty, dracona who was carrying bonnie who was knocked unconcious. Rosemary giggled at the four

"Are you all going traditor as well….my queen can i punish them please"rosemary cutely asked as dracona growled at her setting bonnie down as she sped over grabbing rosemary by the collar lifting her in the air

"I am no traditor to my mother! The meatsack is under my control again and keep your dam mouth shut!"dracona shouted but selket walked over snatching her daughter away before pointing her stinger at dracona throat as she growled at her

'Don't. Touch. My. daughter. "Selket warned as the wyvern hybrid back hissed in anger with selkets doing the same. But salem raised a hand stopping the two as selket set rosemary down bowing to her with dracona doing the same. As salem turned to face them

"Explain to me why you disobeyed me"salem asked like an anger parent. As the hound sniffed approaching them making adder shoulders tense up as he exhaled

"We…we understand that we failed to stop the broadcast my queen"adder said as scar scoffed

"You've been doing that alot lately beast."scar taunted as the snake faunus hissed at him slightly. As betty sighed kneeling infront of her queen

"Were sorry our queen it was all bonnies idea for this"betty said sounding like she threw her under the buse as sleket sighed

"Really? My queen i think we need a new host for the four maidens"sleket said but dracona spoke up

"Actually…we may have failed but it was thanks to bonnie plan. That we found the identity of the summer maiden"dracona announced

As this made selket eyes go wide with rosemary looking surprised. Scar was surprised to hear this with hazel surprised to hear she succeed on finding the summer maiden.

"Are…are you trying to lie to save your lives? Because me and conri killed her and we couldn't find her next vessel"selekt said with shock as betty laughed

"Oh where not lying because hmmm who names rhymes with summer. I wonder who…who…who…oh summer rose. Shes our summer maiden"betty said beofre gesturing to bonnie with both hands

"Thanks to her little idea to disobey your orders"she added

They expected salem to be mad right now but the women had a smile on her face hearing this. She now knows the idneity of all four maidens as she turned to them with a proud look

"I am disappointed in her disobeying my order. But to here we have the identity of the summer maiden….it seems our next target is beacon and shade after we are finished with atlas"salem said

"But my queen dorian has contacted us the military is rioting in the faciltiy. Their going to form a attack against us"hazel said but she didn't see that as a obstacle

"And? Dorian and lamia are smart we've taken over the academy where the relic is. They will need to go their to claim it. Although….dorians has also blessed us with two more warriors"salem said before turning two others in the room right now

Two figures cloakd in blake as their hoods obscured their faces with two red crimson eyes glowing under their hoods. One seemed to be female while the other was male who had his arms crossed. As both of them kneeled once her gaze was on them

"Our queen"both said in unison as she gesuted for them to stand as they did

"Kappa….lambda i will be giving you two a new assignment tomorrow. Because we will wait to hear from dorian and lamia. Then we shall strike"salem said as the female was kappa and the male was lambda as both nodded in unison

Then salem turned to selket and scar as she had a soft smile on her face

"Selket. Scar please go continue your integration on omega….with that message he left lucifer kin may come out of hiding. Along with that…mentioing how i bedded that fool. "Salem said before pausing

"I want to hear his screams. I know lucifer is watching i want his kin to suffer while ozma listens"salem added

This made selket smile as her tail coiled around her waist bowing to her happy to obilgad

"I shall my queen but we may need to take breaks occasionally….so he doesn;t die."selket said with scar scoffing

"That is fine….because well betty doesn't micheal have a healing semblnace?"scar asked as he nodded

"In a way yes but well mainly to restore someone blood since he can also control someone using their blood. "Betty said as he laughed

'That will be fine. Come along now callows i need to have my fun"scar said sweetly walking back to the prison cells. With selket on his heels with the two cloaked grimm taking bonnie to her room. But adder looked conflicted because he can't stand seeing someone getting tortured that long. Though hazel seems to find that unsettling as he decided to go and make sure they don't kill him

Though inside the prison cells micheal and micha where talking about what they just saw. They couldn't even believe what they were hearing

"That…holy shit she can be killed"micha said almost yelling

"Shut up sis. God dam…this is just messed up…i mean god what did parker get us involved in right now"micheal said still trying to wrap his head around this still. Because this entire situation was crazy

Micha sighed wrapping an arm around him"Come now my love. Because well…uh i'm not comfortable on what kimblee asked us to do"she siad gesturing to zane who had his wounds wrapped up for now. But he groaned as he layed on the ground not even wanting to move as he felt very tired.

Micheal stared at him as he knew they had a job to do. But him and jenna were good friends back in the gang. Because she trusted him enough to be the first one she told about that ex husband of hers family. The same family who related to the kid that kimblee said was tortured for hours

"Well i hate this though lucky for him hes getting a break"micheal said but he was wrong

As walking down the hall was selket humming noticing them"Ah their you are. Because we need your help micheal"selket said sweetly to him as he eyed the three of them for a moment

"Why do you need me? What we gonna raid the city or something"micheal asked but scar scoffed staring at their prisoner with his wounds treated as he growled angered by that

"I told you to not treat his dam wounds. Because now i need to start over again"Scar walked in as he kicked him hard in the chest as he coughed gasping for air. As micha went wide eyed walking over shoving him away which was risky

"Hey! Are you screwed up we have orders to keep him alive he needs to get some rest"micha argued but she felt something wrap around her neck. Nerovusly she looked seeing it was selket tail as the deathstalker smiled

"But were following our own orders as well. We need to teach omega a lesson for talking ill of our queen. Along with what he called me"selket growled removing her tail around her stepping forward as she grabbed him by the face making him face her

"Ah i can recall the days me and the others beat all of you. Got anyhting to say"selket asked

Zane stared at her before hocking back spitting straight in her face as it was blood. Selket whiped it off as he smiled slightly with a bloody mouth

"I'm happy tanner death was avenged….your husband is burning in hell…like he should be. Glad he–"he was stopped as she drove her stinger into his shoulder making him grunt in pain as she growled. Then she forced him up locking his wrist into the restraints holding him in the air

"I'm going to show scar how to properly torture someone….i'm an expert at it"selekt said with a smile on the possibilities. While scar watched from the sidelines as micheal was about to speak. Though hazel put a hand infront of him stopping him

Seeing the large man micheal scoffed walking into the hall not wanting to watch this. With micha leaving to go elsewhere. With selket and scar beginning the torture again as hazel soften his gaze closing his eyes not wanting to watch himself

Inside atlas command right now robyn and the others were watching the screen near the door to the cells exit. As they couldn't even believe what they saw as marrow just cheered with a wagging tail

"They did it! This is awesome that means we can take back our base"marrow cheered in joy

Elm laughed whipping a tear away"your right but dam…the kid just messed with that women again. Shes going to be pissed off"elm said as vine gave a small chuckle as he crossed his legs togehter

"It appears so….although i wonder what will happen now"vine asked curiously

"Bet the whole base goes into a riot in 3…2…1"clover said as he reached one suddenly the base started to go into high alert. As the cyan lights turned to red telling them their was an emergency going on. As that made all of them wonder what will happen as with them again was merlot who had to share a cell with marrow

But the scineitst chuckled"it seems your luck favors you again ebi. Now we need to figure a way out of here"merlot said

Though suddenly the sound of gunfire could be heard coming from outside the door which made them on edge. Staring at the door robyn picked herself up as she got in an offensive stance with her fist up at the ready

"Seems the party starting and its coming to us. Lets hope its friendlies"robyn said as elm got in an offensive stance as well as she smacked her fist together

"Then i'm not sitting down and letting some bug control me again. If we need to lets punch our way out of here"elm said as the others agreed. Vine got ready for a attack coming their way with clover crossing his arms preparing for whoever to come through that door

While they waited for what felt like forever they didn't come which confused them right now

"They aren't coming in thats weird?"marrow pointed out getting on edge right now

"That is strange th–"merlot was stopped mid sentence as the hardlight walls shut off on their cells. Before they could question it the door was opened as something was tossed inside the room. That being a flashbang which robyn noticed

She immediately covered her eyes"Cover your eyes!"she shouted but the blinking light filled the room. Robyn covered her eyes for what felt like mere seconds before opening them going wide eyed. As in the room pinning clover to a wall was lamia as she was shoving one of her larva down her mouth

With elm on the ground already struggling against one with two talon soldiers holding her down. As baker was their holding a stun baton against vine who was collapsed on the ground. Stopping the shock therapy he whislted as a larva hissed forcing itself into his mouth as he tried to stop it but it went down

Marrow was lucky as he didn't have it because he was busy stomping on the one trying to take him. He gave one more big stomp killing the creature as he panted

"Screw you! I aint some puppet"marrow said in rage but baker laughed as he brandished a pistol loaded with anti aura shots

"Oh well then i'll just have to put one of these in your leg. Lamia can make another though…'baker paused before aiming the pistol at robyn who stared him down because she was to be executed

"You need to die because mantle will crumble withouts its little leader"baker added

"Coward till the end i see. Although…..you didn't account for something right now"robyn said which confused him as lamia stood up finishing off clover who was holding his head trying to fight back for control as the purple veins slowly covered his eyes

"And that would be what?"lamia asked before from the nearby hallway gunfire came from the entrance. As it hit one of the talon soldiers in the head killing them as in the hallway as a couple atlas soldiers who pointed their weapons at the giest hybrid

"Kill her to free the general!"the soldier shouted firing at her but lamia ducked avoiding the gufnrie. As she lunged forward driving a kunai into their throat. With the second raising their assault rifle to shoot her. But she quickly snapped their neck in a swift motion

But suddenly more gunfire came at her from another group of soldiers making her growl as she sprinted foward trying to kill them all right now. Baker scoffed as he shook his head

"Dam grunts…well time to–"baker was stopped as robyn rushed over punching him in the nuts. This made baker cry in pain for his berries as he kentl on the ground clutching them. Then she shared a look with marrow who still had an aura collar on.

"Come on wags we gotta move! You too doc"robyn said

"But what about the others we can free them we…"marrow was stopped before he felt someone grab him. He looked going wide eyed seeing it was elm struggling right now for control. The large women shoved all three of them out of the room shaking before cracking a small smile

"Don't…worrie about us amin…get out of here…regroup with bree. You know how to stop it…run"elm said as he heisated as she slammed her hand on the door control closing it as she screamed in pain on the other side. They stood their for a moment as marrow clenched his fist

"Come on lets get out of here. The hangers should be close"marrow said

"Bad idea everyone will be in their…lets go for the escapes pods. They go right into the upper city maybe if were lucky we can regroup at williow place. Then wait for the others"Robyn replied as he nodded agreeing with her

"Then we have little time to sit down and wait. Lets go"merlot said as they moved through the base to escape the place

While they ran through the entire facility it was in pure chaos right now. As atlas soldiers now knew the truth on whats going on in their chain of command. With them fighting back against the spies within their midst. But alot of them were trying to escape the base to regroup with the remainder of their army to fight back against salem

Though their were those whp were either dead or fighting for their lives. They passed through the halls that was littered with soldiers that were shot up or stabbed with some having swords buried into their chest as robyn eyed them

"Dam guess we gotta get out of here before we end up like them"Robyn siad as she ran

"Yes although….i think we need to make a quick stop right here"marrow said skitting to a stop staring at something. That being a small office space that had a checkout window that had bulletproof glass on it. But the door was opened with a dead guard leaning against it. As the wolf knew what might be kept here

Marrow quickly walked inside to their confusion"Wags we do not have time to go shopping. That grimm knight might find us or the others will"robyn said with worry

"Yes what do you need from here?"merlot said as he quickly returned with something is assault rifle along with robyn weapon as he smiled

"Well i mean if we gotta fight our way out of here. I'd like my favorite weapon…along with councilwomen hill having hers"marrow said with a cocky grin

The councilwomen stared at him smiling taking her wristmounted crossbow strapping it on quickly before grabbing a pistol off the dead guard

"Your so considerate wags….yo doc know how to use one of these?"robyn asked as merlot took the heavy fire arm scoffing because he hated guns

"I do though i despise firearms. But it'll do for now in our current situation. Now lets go the escape pods are near medical"merlot said as they sprinted down the halls of the command center

As they did the sound of gunfire and yelling could be heard from all directions. They even saw a group of atlas soldiers running past carrying some of their wounded as they were heading straight toward the garage it seems.

"Well they seem to be heading to the garage….maybe all the escape pods are gone"marrow said with worry but merlot hummed for a moment

"I don't think so. If were lucky their is an emergency one located near well old room. If it wasn't used by her we may have a chance"merlot said

"Then lets get over because uhh…i think they were running from that"robyn said pointing down the hall at something

As down the hall right now was a swarm of ak-200 with red faces right now. Along with their screen now having a black queen chess piece as it marked them as salems property now. Marrow tail sagged to the ground as he neoruvlsy laughed

"Lets get running then….and get the hell out of here"marrow said firing off a fews shots at the bots managing to clip a couple. With robyn firing a few arrows down the hall as one pierced a atlesian knights headpiece knocking it down. They began to book it down the hallway with a few of the bots pursuing them.

As they kept running down the halls for their lifes the alarms blared through the whole facility right now. With marrow wincing slightly thanks to his enhanced hearing right now. Though as they kpet running robyn suddenly stopped dead in her tracks

Which marrow noticed"hill what are you doing we aint got time for any sight seeing right now'marrow said

"Hes right come now miss hill we need to leave""merlot said

But robyn stared at what she was looking at which was the morgue. The women prayed someone was in here. She opened the door stepping inside which confused the two right now. As they walked over to the room she was in. but robyn she scanned the room for someone as luckily they were still here

Their on the table with his arms crossed still in this frozen locker was qrow. As robyn walked over with marrow staring at her going wide eyed. While robyn placed her arms under qrow lifting him up placing him over her shoulder staring at them

"He deserves a proper burial. For his wife and daughter…your not making me leave him behind"robyn stated firmly as the two soften her gaze staring at her

But marrow sighed holding the door open for her gesturing her to go. She knew that he fine with this. As she quickly carried the man lifeless body out of the room but merlot grabbed a bodybag just incase

They then sprinted down the hall before getting to the destroyed room miyuki was. But they were in luck as an open escape pod was their as marrow smiled in joy

"Yes! Theirs one here lets…."marrow paused once he got inside of the escape pod. With robyn walking in placing qrow on a medical stretcher with merlot tossing the bodybag into the pod staring at them. Because marrow noticed it could only fit two people not including the stretcher

"Wait…wait theirs only enough room for two of us"marrow said as merlot hovered his hand over the eject button

"I know….tell carmine that she was a fine students over the years. That i hope she continues her work"merlot said making them stare at him. As suddnely the doors to the pod was shut tight. Then they were propeld forward as they were shot straight out of the base in the escape pod right now. With merlot staring through the open hole infront of him smiling

Then the man turned slightly to see his fate that being lamia who stared him down. As she held out her kunai in hand as he closed his eyes accepting his fate as she lunged at him with the intent to kill

Outside the base several mantas or small troop transport were leaving the base. All of them containing atlas soldiers with a few escape pods being hurled toward the city themselves. While inside theirs marrow was banging on the doors screaming in rage

"Dammit….dammit doc! Why…why did you do that i…i…"marrow was stopped as robyn forced him into a seat. She already strapped qrow in as she helped him get strapped in

"He saved us amin. Lets not forget that if were lucky they'll keep him alive. Now strap in for a bumpy ride"robyn said making him hesitant but he sighed walking over strapping himself in. as their escape pod was hurled straight through a building crashing right into the streets of the floating city as the night sky was out right now with the morning sun slwoly rising in the distance.

Although soon enough the two gathered themselves as robyn panted undoing her straps along with marrow. As the two of them looked at the pod door pushing it open to see they were in atlas right now

"Well…were here. Now what hill?"marrow asked

Robyn looked in a certain direction more improtantly schnee manor as that was their desiantion. Quickly she eyed qrow grabbing the bodybag to show him some respect and not draw attention.

Although right now inside the manor everyone was getting up to start their day. As thanfkully aera, diaz, klein along a few others made them food with the supplies they had on hand. As all of them where awake with a few sleeping still to recover from their wounds. But they all were in the living room talking right now.

With their breakfast consisting of some scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages and bottles of coffe or water. While some ate MRES and their rations they had as ren was doing much better. He wasn't wearing the splint with courtny dusting her hands off

"Your all set kid. That leg of your healed up nicely"courtny said

"Thank you….my leader managed to use his semblance partial to heal it"ren said as that made pyrrha stare at her bottle of water for a moment

"Right jaune….we should really send a search party to find them right now"pyrrha said but rogue tapped her on the shoulder slightly

"Come on big sis. I'm sure they saw the broadcast, their probably on their way right now with oscar even"rogue said as they hoped that was true

"I hope so. Because artemis told me this morning they had a bunch of troops transports start landing down in mantle. She busy getting a defense set up against her right now with johanna and the gravekeepers help"miller mentioned

Ruby swallowed her food smiling"well that means we have the army on are side. Though last night…did anyone see a bunch of shells hit the city"she said but may shook her head

"I did but those weren't shells. I think they were escape pods from the base….maybe the soldiers used them to escape"may said

"Or it could be talon. We should get something to eat then split up into teams to cover more ground. That way we can counter attack"hariett said placing her fist in her palm with kraven nodding

"A smart move. I shall send some of my hunters down below to assist i'm sure we'll be expecting ships to be moved to the city this morning"kraven said as they all agreed on that

But as they sat their for a bit dawn layed their at the ready for anything. Although a certain scent started to invade her nostrils. The grimm pet shot up straight staring at the doors before getting up running off barking at something. This caught them offguard

"Okay….thats not a good sign. Grab your weapons"falk said as they all did deciding to investigate this. Though dusk was being held by asani as the cat shook himself free before scmapering off to the doors himself

"Dusk wait you….gah you stupid grimm cat"asani pouted but soon enough someone could be heard laughing on the otherside of the door speaking up

"Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes dawn…how yah been girl"a female voice said on the other side which caught them by surprise. But fiona ears flicked as it sounded familiar like her mother.

"Wait…that voice…i…it sounds familiar"fiona mentioned as soon enough the doors to the room opened as someone else spoke up

"Well i think i would sound familiar to my own daughter"Robyn said walking into the room as this caught them offguard right now. With marrow by her side as dusk was cooing and whining wrapped around his neck as he kept laughing fumbling all over the place

"Why…does this thing keep tickling me…i thought it was a grumpy grimm"marrow said as hariett went teary eyed. Before she rushed over hugging him in a loving embrace with tears running down her face

"Your okay! Amin i….god i was so worried for you dumb faunus. Your okay…your okay"hariett cried in joy as marrow smiled returning the embrace as his tail began to wag. As robyn was immediately hugged by her daughter who had tears running down her face

"Your alive….your okay..i..i..missed you mom…i was so worried..i..i…"Fiona choked on her next words. But robyn pulled her back whipping a tear away from her cheek with a thumb

"It'll take alot more to put your mom down. Though…."robyn was stopped as she was snatched up before her lips where interlocked with nadias. The tiger was smiling with tears of joy as her tail swayed all over the place. Robyn leaned into it returning it before they separated with nadia smiling

"Your okay…i…how are you here…how?"nadia asked but some already figured it out

"You broke out from the riot in the base. That means the other are with you?"neo signed excited but marrow sighed shaking his head as dusk turned into a cat coiled around his neck nuzzing against him right now. With dawn yipping in joy jumping by the sight of them

"Well….no…i…clover…elm and vine are still under their control. But umm….i…hey rose"marrow called out to ruby for some reason. As he stared at robyn who nodded. Quickly she ducked into the hall before retrieving a bodybag which startled them right now

"Why do you have a bodybag?"persia questioned confused with robyn gently placing the bag down with care. Then she reached for the zipper looking down upset

"I wasn't going to let them take him i…i'm so sorry sweetie…i wasn't quick enough. This is the least i could do"robyn said unzipping it making all their blood turn cold. As inside the bodybag right now was qrow branwhen. As eria gasped in shock covering her mouth that it was true. With caine eyes widdening as he closed them gently with sora clenching her fist before staring at the two

"She already knows hill…since well…"Sora paused eyeing something close by which was harbinger. Which robyn noticed as she clenched her fist expecting to be yelled at. But she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist as she opened them seeing it was ruby. Who was beginning to cry into her chest right now saying something to her

"Thank you…thank you for bringing my dad back"ruby cried as her voice cracked as robyn gently hugged her back to comfort her right now. As they managed to finally reunite with some allies. As they soon may have something troubling happen.

With that we see robyn and marrow regrouped with the others as merlot fate remains unknown for now. But it seems that everyone is starting to regroup with each other but something may happen with salem master plan.
