The Being floated above Qrow's house, knowing they would leave the next day. Slowly descending to Jaune's room he could still see Pyrrha's spirit in the corner trying to sleep as well. As The Being phased through the wall, awakening Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: W-Why are you here Being, I'm not ready to go yet if that's why.

The Being: No... That's not why I'm here.

The Being turned his head towards a sleeping Jaune, Pyrrha's emotions beginning to bubble up again.

Pyrrha: I keep thinking...What would happen if I was still alive, If I could have made a difference. How I wasted my life.

The Being: To say your life was a waste is the understatement of the century.

The Being then walked over and placed a palm on Jaune's forehead, dispersing the nightmares he was experiencing.

The Being: When you died, you inspired your teammates to continue. Because they knew that you would've done the same for them. Jaune will become a better huntsman in remembrance of your sacrifice.

The Being then picked up his scroll, unlocking it, he saw the video Pyrrha had recorded for him. He then walked back over to her and sighed as he sat next to her.

The Being: Death is the one certain thing in existence, the one power I don't have is reincarnation... Otherwise, you would be in bed with Mr. Arc over there.

The Being sat there for a few moments next to Pyrrha's spirit, remembering his love.

Pyrrha: Did you lose someone as well?

The Being: (sighs) I did... and it still pains me to this day. The one other Being that I have yet to find... If only I could see her one last time.

The Being summoned his cube, he looked inside seeing a dog run around the cosmos. A toy in its mouth, The Being picking up the toy and throwing it again to the dog's happiness.

The Being: So this is my gift... To you...

The Being stood from sitting next to Pyrrha's spirit, he walked over to Jaune once again. Placing a hand on Jaune's chest, he focused his power. Jaune sat up quickly, looking around stunned.

He looked back and screamed in shock as he saw his body still lying on the bed, covering his mouth tears began forming again.

Pyrrha: D-Did you...Did you kill him?

The Being: No...

Jaune quickly turned around, trying to pinpoint where the two voices were coming from. He looked in shock at the person in front of him

The Being: Hello Jaune.

Jaune: H-hi? What's happening?

The Being: I am giving you...A gift.

Pyrrha: Jaune?

Jaune turned his head quickly towards a voice he recognized so dearly, his eyes widening when he saw a glowing red, Pyrrha. Rubbing his eyes again he looked at Pyrrha and saw her normally, tears began forming in his eyes.

Jaune: P-Pyrrha?

Pyrrha ran forward and grabbed him in a hug, tackling him off his bed. She began squeezing him earnestly, rejoiced by the feeling of touching another person again. Jaune looked down at her face in surprise before hugging her back. Pyrrha shot forward grabbing Jaune's head and locking her lips with his.

The Being watched the two lovers interact with each other, he turned to leave but spoke with them one last time.

The Being: Enjoy the night together you two, I will be back in the morning to return Jaune to his body.

With that, The Being summoned a portal, walking through it, he found himself in front of a nebula.

The Being would have shed a tear...If he could have.

The shot expands to show the nebula as a shape of a golden retriever. Above the nebula, it read "In loving memory of Pyrite, a good dog and a great friend."

________________________________________________________________________________

Jaune awoke in his bed, his scroll next to him.

He sighed, it was all a dream...

Jaune stood and walked to the bathroom, he began brushing his teeth and leaned over to spit out the toothpaste. Standing back up, he almost choked on his mouthwash.

In the mirror he could see Pyrrha standing next to her, leaning her head on his shoulder. He quickly looked over but saw nothing, slowly turning back to the mirror he still saw Pyrrha smiling and waved at him.

He blinked and saw that she was going, his mind coming to a realization. That what happened last night wasn't a dream.

Vader had his eyes closed, attempting to meditate in the busy train station while they waited for the train to arrive.

A Jedi known as Quinlan Vos was able to meditate on bars while on his many undercover missions, the secret was simply not focusing on your surroundings.

Vader had watched Qrow mail his letter to Ironwood explaining the situation, and who he was with. Hopefully the letter would give him much warning before they actually arrived and Ironwood tried to capture him again.

Vader's attention was stolen by the two sisters.

Yang: What did you get me?!

Ruby responded in a singsong tone.

Ruby: You'll have to wait and seee!

Yang: No fair!

Ruby sticks out her tongue playfully, Yang responds to this by rushing in and attempting to snatch the bag away from her sister, the two are then pushed back from each other by Nora who bursts in between them.

Nora: Oh! I can't believe we're taking the train to Argus! Beautiful northern coastline... you think it's too early for beach season?

Maul: I have never been to Argus before...

Ahsoka: We haven't been anywhere before... This is still a new planet to us remember?

Ren's train of thought comes to a close as his fantasy pops away.

Ren: Thankfully, we will be one step closer to Atlas.

Weiss: Well, I'm glad you're all excited, but I don't think you appreciate the trouble I went through to leave Atlas.

Vader: I understand your concern, Weiss... I do not think I will have the friendliest reception when I arrive either.

Ahsoka: Care to fill us in on what happened?

Vader: Well... I was captured by General Ironwood after revealing to them I wasn't from this planet. Long story short, I escaped after destroying the place and severing Ironwood's mechanical arm. The same person to who we need to take the lamp.

Maul: ...That may be troublesome.

Din: I'll say... If he didn't react positively to one alien, how do you think he'll react to three more?

Vader: Hopefully he won't, due to the fact this world is at stake.

Voice: Nobody will have to worry about anything while we're here!

Nora: And who are you?

Huntsman: Why Dee and Dudley, of course? The Argus limiteds very own Huntsmen. We'll be keeping everyone safe as we pass through Grimm territory.

Dudley: Buuut, for a generous tip we can make sure your passenger car gets extra special attention should things get dangerous.

The huntsman finishes with a wink at Ahsoka, She rolled her eyes and all the girls slouched at this, all of them visibly unimpressed. Meanwhile, Maul chuckled at this, the two Huntsmen feeling offended at this and questioned his laughter.

Dee: Hey, horn head, what are you giggling at?

Maul only continued to chuckle lightly standing, seeming to offend the two even more.

Dudley: I think we should teach this guy some respect.

The two get in Maul's face as he stopped chuckling still having a small smile on his mouth. Dee then raises his weapon high above his head and swings downward, Maul's smile suddenly ceased as he grabbed the swinging arm twisting it and stomping at the back of his knee making him drop to the ground, Maul holding the arm behind his back. Dudley stares at this in surprise, slowly backing up.

Maul: You impress no one, how are you supposed to protect us when you can't even defend yourself.

Qrow: Hey, I got a top for ya, Buzz off. Maul, let the moron go.

Maul nodded and pushed Dee into Dudley, Dee rubs his arm in pain as he stares back at Qrow and Maul standing next to each other. From behind them, Yang and Ruby taunt the rookies, making faces and posing in ridiculous ways. While Vader was still attempting to meditate.

Qrow: Looks like Mistral's really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.

Dee: H-hey! You're talking to a -

Qrow: A professional Huntsman, right.

Qrow replies holding out his license and motioning to Vader, Ahsoka, Din, and Maul. They were rewarded with licenses after the battle of Haven. They reached behind them and pulled out their scrolls and showed their licenses as well.

Qrow: You're speaking with several.

Qrow: Well, it seems like one of your heroes left the staff entrance to the caboose wide open. Be a shame to lose your job before it even started.

Dudley: I-I didn't do it!

Dee: Come on, dummy.

The two huntsmans walked away, Maul walked back to his seat next to Oscar, who was examining Ozpin's cane.

Oscar: You know, sometimes the burden of saving the world feels overwhelming, but then people like that come along and make me grateful that it's our job and not theirs.

Ruby: Uh-huh.

Jaune: Yeah.

Vader: Well said.

Qrow: So you kids ready to go? Bike all loaded up?

Yang: Yep.

Weiss: We're just waiting on Blake.

Vader looked up to a railing, seeing Blake speaking with Sun, watching as Blake moved closer and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Sun grinned and turned to leave with Neptune, he looked to the right and saw Vader, who nodded in approval.

Nora: Come on! The train's about to take off!

-On the train-

Maul was sitting next to Oscar, Ozpin was currently speaking through him.

Ozpin: I appreciate you personally teaching him how to fight better. Even though he has all my memories of how to fight with my cane.

Maul: While that may be true, his body wasn't made to perform such actions, he gets exhausted quickly with lack of practice. I took him under my wing, due to the force making me feel like I need to protect him.

Maul's mind flashes back to their time at the house, teaching him how to fight.

Maul: Your form is very impressive, try attacking me again.

Oscar rushed forward, attacking Maul, who defended himself with his double-bladed lightsaber, only a single blade activated and on practice mode.

Maul allowed Oscar to get confident as he backed up slowly until he left himself open for an attack. Maul then pressing the advantage forcing Oscar to surrender.

Oscar: I just can't compete with you.

Maul: Oscar... You did very well, I am a highly-skilled duelist with years of practice, the fact that you were able to duel with me is an impressive feat... Now, raise your cane.

Oscar did so, in a lazy form. Maul sighed and retracted his lightsaber, and walked next to Ozpin. Kneeling down, he moved his arms so he was holding it in the Djem-so position that Vader commonly used.

Maul: There, this stance is called Djem-so.

Oscar: I saw Mr. Vader using it.

Maul: Yes...(smiles) Vader said that it was his preferred stance. Djem-so is a defensive pose that can be easily moved to an attacking position.

Maul then activated his lightsaber and got into the Ataru stance, one that Kenobi commonly used.

Maul: Now... let us continue.

Oscar smiled and continued practicing with Maul, he improved incredibly, using his lessons to fight Hazel.

Ozpin: I must inform both of you about something...

Maul sat forward listening to the wizard about to speak when the train rumbled.

Oscar: What was that?

Maul: Nothing good, I assume.

Maul ran through the car, seeing the rest of his group. Vader grabbed his saber and placed his helmet on, Yang cocked her gauntlets while Ruby was holding her crescent rose.

Blake: Just my luck.

Qrow: It's not yours. Grab your weapons!

Vader and the others follow after Qrow, as they climbed onto the top of the train, they see Dee and Dudley being circled by the flying monsters. It was a large group of Manticore led by a Sphinx. The leading Grimm landed atop the train and unleashed a roar. Vader and the other ignited their lightsabers and stood at the ready, meanwhile, Dee is seen rushing towards the Sphinx, he is quickly snatched off the ground by one of the manticores, it carries him off the train and releases him, allowing him to plunge to his death in the forest below.

Dudley: DEE!

Once Dee was dead, the Sphinx roared once again, all the manticores then fly past it, beginning their assault on the Huntsmen.

Blake: What's the plan, Ruby?

Ruby: Don't let anyone else die!

Vader and the others rush into battle, Vader tore a boulder off the side of the mountain and made it collide with a manticore sending it flying.

Din and Ahsoka grabbed hands, activating his jet pack he flew forward. Once over a manticore, Ahsoka let go and plunged her sabers into its head.

Din let loose his whistling birds, flying into another Manticore, exploding its spine. Din landed and decapitated the Grimm.

Mal charged forward, using his magnetized legs he slashed a paw off a manticore before turning and stabbing his other blade straight through its skull. While Maul was distracted another Manticore swooped behind him but was shot in the head by Ruby.

Maul looked over to her and gave her a thank you nod. She replied by smiling and sticking her thumbs up, A manticore was about to chomp on her when Qrow stabbed his scythe into its head.

Weiss was dealing with her own Manticores, summoning several glyphs and using her weapon. She turned to attack another but found it already dead due to Ahsoka and Vader.

Vader crushed another skull with the force, before throwing his saber to kill more. Ruby was killing Grimm until she was overpowered, she closed her eyes but opened them to find a large sword stabbing through the Grimm.

Weiss: Thank me later!

They saw another Manticore fly overhead but it was stabbed in the head by Maul's thrown Lightsaber. Vader and Maul stood next to each other, summoning their saber back to each other, Vader caught the double-bladed one while Maul caught the single-bladed one. Turning to Vader, Maul said.

Maul: No, no give me that, you get the small one.

Maul lept off, seeing Oscar knocked back by a manticore, he felt rage swell through him. His eyes turned yellow again as he ignited his lightsaber to protect his student.

As the fight continued, Oscar slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead in fear.

Oscar: TUNNEL!

Din: What?!

Din and the others turned to see the large tunnel the train was rapidly approaching.

Ruby: Go!

Din and the others, made a break for it, Vader was already near an opening and hopped down. Weiss was unfortunate enough to hit on her leg by a fireball, causing her to lose her balance completely. She suddenly feels a grasp on her hand, turning to see her savior who was none other than Ruby.

Ruby: Thank me later!

Ruby grabs hold of Weiss and used her semblance, they both formed a red and white spiral, Ruby making them dip down into the car.

Din looked behind him and saw Ahsoka distracted, grabbing her arm he activated his jet pack making them launch forward and fall down into the car in just the nick of time.

Vader made his way through the cars, quickly regrouping with the others, upon entering the same cart as them Vader sees Qrow pinning Dudley onto the wall by his shirt collar, he then noticed Dudley's injured arm.

Qrow: I said, turn those damn things off!

Dudley: Those things are keeping us alive!

Qrow: Oh, sure, but they're putting the passengers in danger.

Din: Well, wait until your employer finds out your partner is dead and you nearly got us killed.

Qrow: Forgive me if I'm not exactly reassured.

Vader and the others glance back at the frightened passengers, they were all huddled up together in fear, a mother attempted to calm her baby's crying down.

Vader: The fool...

Dudley: Get off me!

Qrow: Look, if you bozos had been doing your job instead of shaking down passengers, maybe we wouldn't be in this -

Ruby calmed her uncle down, Qrow backs off after feeling her place a hand on his shoulder.

Ruby: Please just shut off the turrets.

Jaune: Trust us. We know what we're doing.

Dudley looks in surprise as Jaune uses his semblance to amplify his so he would be able to heal his wound, Dudley notices Vader and grows uneasy about the emotionless mask back at him.

Vader: It would be a wise decision.

Dudley: Fine...

Nora: Ren, could you use your semblance to mask everyone on this train? With the guns off and emotions hidden, they might lose track of us.

Ren: I've never attempted to affect this many people before.

Vader: You've never had Jaune's help before.

Weiss: He could amplify your aura.

Qrow: Yeah... That's an alright plan.

Nora: Don't look so worried, Ren, you can totally do this!

Ozpin: I'm afraid there's one more complication... Grimm are also attracted to this.

Ozpin holds his hand over the relic of knowledge that was strapped to his waist.

Dudley: What's that?

Qrow: None of your damn business. Oz, are you serious?

Yang: Why wouldn't you tell us that?!

Ozpin: I -

Ruby: It doesn't matter right now!

Vader: It does matter, I do not like being kept in the dark.

Ahsoka: Why the hell would you keep quiet about something like that, are you insane?!

Ruby: Every second we're on board this train, we're putting everyone else in danger.

Din: You don't say!

Maul: Enough! Ruby is right! Listen to her!

Ruby: ...Get the passengers to the front cars. You'll still mask the emotions and kill the turrets. We just can't come with you. If we go to the back cars, we can focus them there and away from the passengers. Then we can make it safely to Argus.

Jaune finishes up healing Dudley and nods at Ruby, he and Ren making their way to the front cars.

Ozpin: ...Maul, thank you for help -

Maul: I did it for Oscar, not you.
