The following morning, Raven had opened a portal to Salem's castle which was in a room that Crow had flown into while in his bird form.
"We had to get in here a different way last time so this is much better," said Raven as they walked into the room through a portal.
"Where do we begin to search?" asked Ren.
"Salem would want to keep the relics close to her," said Emerald.
"So they are probably in the throne room, she never leaves that room even to sleep, that's where I think we should start our search," she said.
"Ren and Jaune, we're going to need you to keep us hidden from the Grimm that will be around here," said Ruby as she turned to look at the boys.
"Right," said the two. They all then started to move through the hall as Ren used his semblance and Jaune kept him going with his. The group was also closely packed together while touching each other's back to make sure they were covered.
"Wait," whispered Crow while holding up a hand.
"I still can't believe that Cinder left our side," said Mercury from around a corner.
"Tch, I knew that bitch couldn't be trusted," said Tyrian.
"But she's no longer our problem seeing how the connection between her Grimm and Salem has been cut, she'll be seven feet under while we are living it up after Salem wins this war," he said.
"It doesn't look like they are going to move any time soon," whispered Nora.
"We'll split up, Winter with Team JRNE and Crow with us," whispered Ruby.
"Our group will take on those two while the rest of you continue to the throne room," whispered Winter.
"Right!" said everyone while breaking free and rushing the corner.
"What?!" asked Mercury as Nora launched grenades at them, creating a smoke screen so the others could run by the two enemy members.
"Good luck," thought Jaune while the smoke began to clear so his team could fight Mercury and Tyrian.
