Three people I'm hoping to see in RWBY again (and I bet some others want to see them, too) are Sun's teammates--Neptune, Scarlet and Sage. Ever since RNJR and Qrow arrived at Mistral, I was hoping to see the three return to become allies with the team. However, Episode 11 of Volume 5 revealed a shocking revelation--due to Lionheart's info, Mistral's Huntsman have been killed by Tyrian and Hazel.

This leads to this question--do you think Neptune, Scarlet and Sage are dead? We know from Sun that they returned to Mistral after the Fall of Beacon, and I'll reiterate that Mistral's Huntsman were picked off one by one thanks to the cowardly Lionheart. Knowing this, it's possible that SSSN were caught up in Tyrian and Hazel's line of sight.

The only options I can think of that could potentially see SSSN return in Volume 6 include: SSSN decided to just not go on any missions, Lionheart spared them when he gave Salem info on the Haven Huntsmen, or they were attacked by Tyrian or Hazel, but drove them off (the most unlikely choice). I'm just hoping they just don't kill off these three. From Neptune's charisma, Scarlet's motif, and Sage's enigmaticness, I just don't want to see these unceremoniusly be killed off. If they are dead, I'm going to blame Salem.
