Out in the hallway, everyone was still fighting.

"How could you turn your back on us?!" asked Mercury while fighting with Emerald.

"Because I realized how messed up Salem and the rest of you really are!" said Emerald. Suddenly, the fight ended thanks to the castle rumbling.

"What's going on here?!" asked Tyrian.

"Salem's gone so the building is coming down!" yelled Ruby as her group ran by them.

"What?!" asked Tyrian and Mercury.

"If you don't want to get crushed then go!" said Raven after opening a portal.

"Being in prison would be better than that!" said Tyrian while heading for the portal. The whole castle then collapsed right after Raven stepped through and the portal closed.

"Just in the nick of time," said Yang as everyone found themselves in Vacuo.

"How did you do it?" asked Mercury while he and Tyrian were arrested by some soldiers who had been standing nearby when the portal opened.

"That's for us to know and you to never find out," said Emerald as the two were taken away by some soldiers.

"So, the plan actually worked?" asked Oscar.

"It did, Salem is gone," said Ruby while handing over the lamp and staff.

"Then I believe it's time we go home," said Ozpin after suddenly taking over Oscar's body.

"I wonder how everyone's been since we left," said Jaune.

"Dad is probably going to kill us when we get home," said Yang while looking at Ruby.

"That'll have to wait till tomorrow, for now we will stay here for the night," said Ruby as she yawned at the same time she stretched her arms.

"Good idea," said Weiss before everyone left.
