Several hours after setting up RWBY, Jacob and the others went to bed while letting RWBY and JNPR watch the show. Jacob woke up in the middle of the night to check on the teams of huntsmen and huntresses. When he got to the living room, he stopped and saw the state they were in.

Pyrrha was sobbing on the couch after witnessing her own death while Jaune was doing his best to comfort her while he was shocked that Pyrrha kissed him and had feelings for him. Yang had tears in her eyes after watching her right arm get chopped off by Blake's former mentor and ex-lover, Adam Taurus, while Blake looked depressed for running away again. Nora was crying uncontrollably, while Ren was trying to comfort her. Weiss was in a state of depression after what had just happened and even more so when his father and CEO to the SDC, Jacques Schnee, took her home. As for Ruby, she was at the verge of sobbing while in a state of shock about learning about her silver eyes. They were all miserable.

Jacob figured they witnessed Volume 3 and was going to say something, but decided to give them time to themselves and let them continue watching the show.

"Did they just watch Volume 3?" Jacob turned around to see Allen behind him.

"Yeah, and they are not happy," Jacob said.

"Not surprising. I would expect a reaction like that from them," Allen said.

"It's probably best we leave them be," Jacob said.

"Yeah, you're right," Allen said as he and Jacob went back to bed.

It was now morning, and Jacob just woke up and wanted to check on RWBY and JNPR.

"Morning, Jacob," Kelly said as she walked up to him.

"Morning, Kelly," Jacob said.

"You want to check up on Ruby and the others?" asked Kelly.

"Guys, you may want to get over here," Ricky called out from the living room.

"Like right now!" Allen followed.

Jacob and Kelly race to the living room where the others are. When they got there, they found RWBY and JNPR just finished watching Volume 6. And they all looked pissed.

"That son of a bitch!" Jaune shouted.

"I cannot believe this! Even after Professor Ozpin promised not to keep anymore secrets from us in the last volume, he still keeps secrets from us!" Yang shouted as her eyes turned red.

Jacob and the others knew what they were talking about and they can understand what they are going through right now. It is bad enough that there's a secret war between Ozpin and Salem, but it's made worse that they were told that Salem is immortal and Ozpin doesn't have a plan for this. Jacob finally decides to say something before they decide to take their anger out on the house or furniture.

"Guys, I know you are all upset, but this isn't helping the situation," Jacob said.

"Well what do you suggest we do, smart guy?!" Weiss shouted.

"Look, you all know everything about Salem, know about her plans, know who her followers are, and all that crap, but if anime has taught us anything, it's that even immortal beings like Salem can be killed. It just hasn't been revealed yet," Jacob answered.

"Actually it has been revealed. You guys just didn't pay attention close enough. Two hints have been revealed on how she can be killed in Volume 6. I honestly don't know how you guys didn't noticed that, especially Ozpin," Allen pointed out.

"What do you mean exactly?" Ren asked.

"The first hint is when Ozpin, or Ozma however you see it, asks Jinn on how he can destroy Salem, only to respond that he can't. Well, the thing is he asked the wrong question. For you see, Jinn is a genie. And like all genies, they have a tendency to be too literal. What Ozpin should have asked was, 'how can Salem be destroyed?' Just because Ozpin can't kill her, doesn't mean somebody else can," Allen explained.

"I can picture it now. Ozpin slaps himself in the head for not noticing the question he asked. He'll look like a fool when he puts the pieces together," Kelly chuckled.

"And the second hint is when Salem was cursed with immortality by the gods. The God of Light then said and I quote, 'You must learn the importance of life and death, only then you may rest' end quote. Meaning that her curse can be broken by having her learn about life and death or some bullshit like that. I mean he basically spelled out how she can be destroyed if you think about it," Ricky also explained.

"That's easier said than done," Blake retorted.

"Yes, nobody said it's gonna be easy, but now you know. You know everything," Kelly said.

"Kelly's right. You can prevent the Fall of Beacon, protect Amber, save Pyrrha, help prevent judgement day for Remnant, and shove your foot up Salem and Cinder's asses," Ricky said.

RWBY and JNPR sat down and thought about what they said.

"It would be nice to knock Cinder down a peg or two," Jaune said.

"And prevent Salem from getting the relics," Blake said.

"We'll break their legs!" Nora shouted.

"For once, I can agree with Nora on that," Ren said.

"I do need to payback Mercury for getting me disqualified and wipe that smug look off his face," Yang said cracking her knuckles.

"Yeah, and there is no way I am going back with my father, just to sing at his charity parties," Weiss said.

"At least I can avoid my battle with Cinder," Pyrrha said after being so quiet.

"I want to protect those that I care about and not lose and of my friends," Ruby said.

"Good. I would also tell teams CFVY (Coffee) and SSSN (Sun) about this as well because they might eventually get involved either way," Allen suggested.

"Alright, we'll tell them," Ruby acknowledged.

"Good. Now only one more problem to solve," Jacob said.

"And what's that?" Ruby asked.

"Get you guys back back to Remnant," Jacob pointed out.

"Oh, yeah," Rudy said.

"So who's hungry," Kelly asked.

Just as she asked that question, Trisha runs up to Kelly happily barking. Blake immediately hopped on to Yang's shoulders as soon as she saw the golden corgi.

"Oh I know you are," Kelly cooed while petting Trisha.
