Qrow frowned “Ruby, Yang, Rainbow Dash come at me.”

Rainbow groaned as she pointed at Tempest who was busy training with Taiyang “Why is she training with him?”

Qrow grimaced “Because she has actually combat traning, she is actually better than me in close quarters combat so she is practising with someone who specialises in the field.”

Rainbow Dash rushed at him from the air trying to use her aerial skills plus a series of punches and kicks, Qrow was easily blocking her blows, Ruby ran in trying land a blow while Qrow was distracted, only for him to move out of the way so that Rainbow and Ruby punched one another, Qrow smiled ‘That wasn’t bad Ruby it was a nice shot still it would help if Yang was also over here.”

Yang grimaced “I’m trying to find an opening in your defences.”

Qrow frowned “If this was serious fight Ruby and Rainbow Dash would be in trouble.”

Taiyang then flew onto Qrow’s back “Ow.”

Qrow looked over to see Tempest stretching “Is that the best you got?”

Taiyang turned to Qrow “How can one her age do that?”

Qrow sighed “It’s complicated and…” his scroll started to buzz, Qrow grimaced as opened the call “Ozpin, what is it?” Qrow frowned “Alright, I’ll bring them with me.” Qrow and Taiyang stood up, Qrow smiled slightly “Rainbow Dash, Tempest we have your third friend. We are going to meet at Beacon Academy, a ship will pick us up soon.”

Taiyang frowned “Ozpin is calling you, why?”

Qrow sighed “It’s complicated and I’m not sure it’s okay for me to tell you, you know how Ozpin likes his secrets.”

Before Taiyang could say anything Ruby jumped on Qrow’s arm “Are you going tae Rainbow and Tempest away from us?”

Qrow sat Ruby down, he gave her a warm smile“They may have to go home to their families, you wouldn’t like it if you weren’t allowed to come home to us would you?”

Ruby shook her head “No…” she then gave him a sad look “I understand.”

Yang gave Ruby a hug “No matter what happens I’ll be here for you.”

Qrow frowned as an Atlas Shuttle landed “Why did it have to be an Atlas Shuttle?” Tempest, and Rainbow Dash followed Qrow onto the shuttle.

It was a long trip, Qrow and Tempest peacefully took their seats as the ship headed towards Beacon. Rainbow Dash on the other hand looked around trying to find a way out, Tempest facepalmed before pulling her onto a seat “Look I get you don’t like cramped spaces but try to stay calm.”

Tempest placed her arm around Rainbow comforting her as the ship slowly headed towards a large amphitheatre around a fountain surrounded by two colonnades. The ship landed in the amphitheatre, Rainbow flew out shouting “Sweet Freedom!

Ozpin stood there with a strange person whose body looked like it was made of multiple different animal looking individual “I’m glad you’re here” he turned to the person next to him “Discord, I told you they’d be here.”

Rainbow blinked “Discord why are you here?”

Discord frowned “I’m here to keep the three of you safe and bring you three home in one piece.”

Qrow frowned “I believe we should all discuss this somewhere more private.” Ozpin turned to Discord who clicked his claws and all five of them ended up in a meeting room in the tower, the green room had one semi-circle table. Ozpin took a seat at the table, Qrow frowned “So you want them to go home?”

Discord frowned “I want to take all three of them home, we are still missing one.”

Ozpin frowned as he got a message from Ironwood, on his scroll after quickly sending something “Ironwood needed a visual of where we were, I have no idea why but...”

There was a sudden flash of light, Diane and Ironwood were standing there. Ironwood shook his head “That was certainly an experience.”

Rainbow and Tempest blinked “Pinkie Pie why are you wearing armour?”

Diane frowned “My name is Diane, as for the armour my father Ironwood gave it to me. He found me on the streets of Atlas with no memory of who I was beforehand.”

Ozpin frowned “Diane we want to take you home to where you belong.”

Diane frowned “I’m not going anywhere, I don’t remember anything about where I came from.”

Discord shook his head “You may remember when you return, please come with us.”

Diane frowned “No.”

Rainbow flew up to her face, she growled not noticing Diane started to shake in fury, each word made her fury intensify “Pinkie you have a family back home, we can’t say here we have family back home!”

Diane let out a loud roar “I will not go back!” Diane’s eyes turned a deep black as her pink aura began tearing reality apart at the seams Ozpin’s desk exploded, portals to other dimensions began opening and the building starting to shake.

Ironwood quickly ran over to her and hugged her before the damage to got too much further “My precious daughter I won’t let anyone take you away from me, I promise.”

Diane’s power as he hugged began to calm, he glared at Rainbow Dash momentarily before hugging Diane who began to cry “I don’t want to leave, please don’t let them take me away.”

Discord shook his head “I will not force her to go anywhere, when and if she decided to return it will be her choice. Even if I wanted too bring her back immediately which I don’t the damage we would do to this reality wouldn’t be worth it.”

Tempest blinked “How did she do that?”

Ozpin frowned “That is a good question, maybe our resident expert on reality manipulation can shed some light on this incident.”

Qrow turned to Discord “Well then enlighten us master of reality.”

Discord grimaced “Qrow, I could make you my pet crow permanently so don’t insult me” Qrow paled very slightly, Discord took a deep breath “Well the simple fact is Pinkie Pie had potential for chaotic power far greater than I ever since I met her, the only reason I didn’t fear her then was she couldn’t use her powers at will. It is also why at this time it would be unwise to take her back, the portal could become unstable if a being of her power crosses the portal now she can start actually using it.”

Tempest nodded “I’m staying as well at least until she returns home, she always tried to make me smile even when everyone else was suspicious of me. I will say here until the end.”

Rainbow grinned “I’m staying as well, I never leave my friends hanging.”

Qrow smiled ‘I’m sure Ruby and Yang will be happy to see you two again.”

Discord nodded “I’ll be staying with Ozpin, if any of you need help you can come here.”

Diane stood up drying her tears “That won’t be necessary,” she then turned to her father “It’s time we go home isn’t it?”

Ironwood smiled “Yes it is my daughter.” The pair dissapeared with a flash, later that night Ironwood tucked her in and looked outside for a moment with a smile before heading to bed himself.
