Ozpin was sitting in his office, thinking to himself. The fact that Summer was working with Salem was deeply troubling, he was interrupted from his musings as his scroll lit up revealing Ironwood’s concerned face “Ozpin an army of Grimm is heading your way. Twenty Wyverns and a multitude of other Grimm are rapidly approaching Beacon. They are dropping Grimm all over the city and my airships won’t be able to get there in time.”

Ozpin nodded “It seems I have to lead to fight them back.” Ozpin frowned as he turned on the intercom “All students, a huge wave of Grimm is planning to assault Beacon. I suggest you all get your weapons ready and prepare to fight for the good of Vale.”

Diane’s team alongside Rainbow’s team and Lie Ren’s team were armed and ready outside of the school within the hour, Lie Ren frowned “Why would so many Grimm launch an attack here at this point?”

Diane frowned “I don’t know, I mean there is one being that could launch an attack of such magnitude but they were never this brazen. They would be much more subtle than this.”

Rainbow frowned “We don\t have time to discuss this, the enemy is here.” Diane nodded as she leapt toward one of it the Wyverns punching it’s head off, Rainbow gunned down the weird two legged creeps. Sunset cut Beowulves and Ursai while Jaune and Pyrrha took down a Death Stalker.

Weiss and Blake backed up Cardin in taking down any Grimm that got to close to the school, countless other students poured out of the school to hold back the Grimm assault. What none of them noticed was that Summer and Cinder had snuck into the school, Cinder grumbled quietly “Why are we being so quiet?”

Summer hissed “Quiet. We need to find Amber, her magical signature is not too far from here.” They snuck up to the room, Amber was humming to herself. Summer turned to Cinder “Do it but quietly.”

Cinder nodded with a grin, she snuck up behind her drawing a knife. She tapped Amber on the back, Amber turned around her eyes widened as she saw Cinder for split second as she felt a knife shoved into her throat. She silently gagged as blood started to pour out of the deep cut, the power of Fall Maiden surged into Cinder. Summer frowned “Now let’s go and find the relic, he kept in a high tower though a path only the Maiden could reveal.”

Summer and Cinder snuck through the empty hallways, they came to a set of heavily worn stair up a mighty tower. The pair snuck up the tower, soon arriving in an empty room green room. Summer walked over to the right green wall and tapped it “Put your hand here and activate your powers.”

Cinder looked at Summer with scepticism but did as she was asked. The wall vanished revealing a chamber with chest of various minerals, Cinder frowned as magical words appeared in he air “Choose the correct chest and live, fail and die.”

Cinder frowned “Which one?”

Summer looked around for a second pointed to the most plain looking chest, no adornments. It was so plain that Cinder didn’t even notice it was there, Summer smiled “That is the one. Ozpin is always the humble one, the greatest treasure hidden where no-one could find it.”

Cinder nodded as she opened revealing a black crown laying at it’s bottom, Cinder retrieved it and the two women left. Cinder smirked “I’m starting to see why Salem placed your as her equal, you are capable and driven. I always through those with kindness in their heart were soft weakling but you are not. I look forward to our next mission.”

Summer whispered “We are not done yet, we still need to get out of…” Peter Port stumbled out of a room and saw them, Summer swung her scythe cutting his head off. Cinder blinked, she didn’t expect the woman in front of her to do that. Summer frowned “He was going to tell Ozpin, now let’s move.”

She cleaned her scythe with a cloth in one of her pocket before putting on her back, she walked outside and then teleported them to Mountain Glenn, Cinder frowned “Why didn't you do that earlier?”

Summer rolled her eyes “I’m hardly the first magic user Ozpin had dealt with, the walls were warded against such things and while some beings could easily overcome those wards for me it would take some time. Even Salem would take a few minutes to get out of those.”

Summer whistled for Sleipnir and he arrived, the pair got on his back. Cinder frowned “So what should we be doing now after this, we got the Crown of Choice?”

Summer smirked “We take Mistral’s Relic next then Vacuo’s and then Atlas’ last, we will move so fast that Ozpin will never be able to keep up. I’d say if we hurry we’ll have the Relic of Knowledge within the week at the latest.”

Summer and Cinder arrived outside the Castle, after getting off Sleipnir they entered the castle. Summer took the crown from Cinder as they entered “We got the crown and the Grimm should be returning here. We need to move on Mistral next, I will get in contact with Raven. She may aid us in getting the Relic of Knowledge.”

Salem frowned “Summer, our spies reported that she got her hands on the Spring Maiden.”

Summer walked over to her and gave her the crown “We will move out immediately, Lionheart works for us so all we need is the Maiden. Cinder will come with as well in case I need extra help to get the Relic.”

Salem gave Summer a small smirk as she looked over the crown “I would say that your hasty behaviour is reckless but it has got more results than before. Still the Grimm Leaders may take offense to our actions.”

Summer nodded “We are causing minimal damage and taking only what we want. I doubt they will even notice.”

Meanwhile Ozpin was outside frowning as he watched the Grimm leaving (What could Salem be planning, this is unlike her. She would never be so brazen but if not her then…) A pale skinned man with green hair and glasses ran out. Ozpin frowned “Dr Oobleck, did something happen?”

Dr Oobleck looked at him “Port is dead and so is Amber, someone broke in through the attack. Whoever killed Port needed to have used a large weapon with a blade on the end.”

Ozpin’s eyes widened “I know who did this and if she is moving this fast then we are in big trouble.”

Diane frowned “What do you mean?”

Ozpin frowned “Summer Rose, Ruby’s mother is behind this. She likely is already moving out and may strike again before we can stop her.” Diane grabbed him and teleported to his office “Are you telling me that someone who thought you thought was dead is working with the enemy!”

Ozpin frowned “I only found out yesterday and yet she has acted so fast. She may have equal say to Salem and has already got one Relic, she might be already moving to take a second.”

Diane grimaced “Well then I need to return to Atlas immediately, she may come that Relic next. I believe that Weiss should lead in my stead.” Ozpin nodded with a frown as Diane teleported away, he had heavily underestimated Summer Rose. His frown deepened as he realised he may have already lost.
