A/N: Finally the last episode of Volume 5. Enjoy.

Arion let his wings went back into his body, placed Elgar back on his back and went to his girlfriend, so he and Yang faced Raven.

Raven: I warned you, Yang. I gave you every opportunity to walk away from Qrow and Oz. So you can believe me when I say this wasn't personal.

Yang: *glaring* You opened the vault.

Raven: Thanks to the chaos you and your friends caused upstairs. I knew you could handle it. You're my daughter after all.

Yang: Qrow and Oz told me how the powers are transferred. The girl you found... she would've had to have trusted you if you were in her final thoughts - cared about you a lot.

Raven: I'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed.

Yang: No, I'm starting to ask questions . So tell me... what happened to the last Spring Maiden? Did she die in battle? Was it sickness?

Raven: What does it matter to you?

Arion: That's not hard to guess. You killed her, right?

Yang: *eyes widened* How could you?!

Raven: She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for ! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did--

Yang: (quoting her mother) "Wasn't personal."

Raven: It was mercy!

Yang: Which is it, mom? Are you merciful, or are you a survivor? Did you let me walk into that trap because you knew I could handle it, or because it meant you could get what you wanted?!

Raven: It's not that simple. You don't know me, you don't know what I've been through, the choices I've had to make!

Yang: You're right. I don't know you. I only know the Raven . She was troubled, and complicated, but she fought for what she believed in, whether it was or ! Did you kill her too?

Raven eyes widened and looked away, before turning back to face her daughter again.

Raven: I've stared death in the face over and over again!*in her anger, her Maiden powers activated* And every time I've spat in that face and survived, because I'm strong enough to do what others won't!!

Yang: Oh, shut up!! You don't know the first thing about strength! You turn your back on people, you run away when things get too hard, you put others in harm's way instead of yourself!! *she balled her hand into a fist, shaking* You might be powerful, but that doesn't make you strong.

Raven: Who do you think you are, lecturing me?! Standing there, shaking like a scared little girl?!

Yang: Yeah, I'm scared. But I'm still standing here! (begins approaching Raven) I'm not like you, I won't run, which is why you're going to give me the Relic.

Raven: And why would I--

Yang: Because you're afraid of Salem!!! And if you thought having Maiden powers put a target on your back, imagine what she'll do when she finds out you have a Relic. *Raven turned away, seething* She'll come after you with everything she has. *Raven's expression then turned solemn* Or she can come after me. *Raven's eyes widened when she hears her daughter say that, before turning back to her.* And I'll be standing there, waiting for her.

After a tense moment, Raven deactivated her Maiden powers.

Raven: *sombered* You don't want to do this, Yang. Take Arion and bring him into safety. You don't know what Knowledge he gained from his Relic that died out.
