When the arena went white, your vision faded to black.

You woke up on a metal bench, not sure exactly where.

You heard voices outside, arguing rather loudly.

You vision was blurry, and your entire body ached. You were covered in bandages.

You tried to sit up, but didn't have enough strength.

You looked around yourself. The walls were dark and the place was cramped. You heard a door open, but passed out.

No ones P.O.V.

Outside the arena, on the courtyard, Ozpin and Ironwood were arguing fiercely. Qrow, Winter and Glynda were watching the two authorities argue.

"I know that you are very cautious, but I demand that you unhand my student at once!" Ozpin rammed his crane into the ground.

Ironwood scoffed slightly. "Ozpin, I know you are very protective of your students, but so am I when it comes to the people of Atlas!"

Qrow took a swig of his flask. "Even if they're the ones doing the crime?"

"There is no proof of that. General Ironwood has made the right choice. Y/n has overr-"

"Shut it, Ice Queen!" Winter scowled at Qrow. "I don't care what you think, but the fact that James has not only paused the tournament but also took Y/n into custody is messed up!" Qrow got closer to Ozpin and Ironwood. "He's just a kid James. He didn't intend to kill him. That red haired idiot left him no choice!"

"Hold your tongue Qrow!" Winter put herself in front of Ironwood.

"Both of you, stop!" Glynda used her semblance to push them both away. "General! You saw the wounds Mr. L/n had. Wounds Mr. Noctur inflicted!"

"Glynda is right, general. Mr. Noctur has assaulted our student. Mr. L/n only acted in a fight-or-flight response. If he wouldn't have attacked, it might very well be him that is gone." Ozpin reinforced.

"And Mr. Noctur would be-" Ironwood got interrupted by Qrow grabbing his collar.

"And Mr. Noctur would be free! We all know that you wouldn't lay a finger on him if he murdered an entire team! You're too scared!" The soldiers surrounding him all aimed at Qrow.

"Unhand the general at once!" Winter drew her sword.

Ms. Goodwitch took out her crop.

Suddenly, the door bursted open. A single soldier came running inside.

"Sir, Ironwood, Sir!" He saluted.

"What is it? We're in the middle of something." Qrow said, pulling at Ironwoods collar.

"U-Uhm... well, it's about the arrested boy!"

Ozpin raised his eyebrow. "What about him?"

"W-Well... there were roses and then suddenly: POOF!"

The room went completely silent.

Qrow gave himself a facepalm.
