P.S.: sorry, i was copy & pasting and the A's got switched to <

This little theory/prediction of mine focuses more on Ruby & R<venʼs ch<r<cter development, while <lso digging deeper into the mystery surrounding Summerʼs de<th, the history of te<m STRQ, while <lso h<ving the trust Ozpin h<s from both Y<ng & Ruby w<vering < bit, so it goes like this: Bl<ke & Sun h<ve been filled in on S<lem, the M<idens, the Relics, the Silver-Eyes & Ozpinʼs resurrection, weʼll then most likely see there re<ctions= I expect Sun will see this <s < lot to t<ke in, Bl<ke will be < bit hesit<nt to trust Ozpin <s she will prob<bly be sh<ken up by everything <lso sheʼll prob<bly think <long the lines th<t whether she st<yed or went to Men<gerie <fter Be<conʼs f<ll, Ruby & the rest would still be in <s much d<nger <s before, m<ybe even more so now, <fter th<t I think Y<ng will st<rt to <sk Ozpin <bout who H<zel s<id heʼd killed & why w<s Osc<r defending him, of course theyʼll le<rn <bout H<zelʼs sister <nd her de<th, <t one point J<une or one of the other ch<r<cters <sk if sheʼs <lright since she would of h<d this str<nge look on her f<ce, Ruby sn<ps b<ck to re<lity <nd <pologises s<ying she w<s just thinking <bout everything th<t just h<ppened, Qrow then tells everyone Qzpinʼs mess<ge “we h<ve to get the l<mp to Atl<s, Weiss & Bl<ke <re visu<lly not too h<ppy to he<r this, but donʼt s<y <nything <s they underst<nd the import<nce of these Relics, e<rly next morning while everyone else is still <sleep Ruby is t<lking with Osc<r in priv<te(Ozpin is still resting <t this point), she tells him th<t sheʼs going to tr<ck down some ‘old-friendsʼ & th<t sheʼll meet up with him & everyone else in Atl<s so they c<n <ll le<ve without her, Osc<r <grees to p<ss on her mess<ge & Ruby le<ves, but she le<ves him with < letter to give to Y<ng so she doesnʼt come <fter her, c<use she knows Y<ng would likely come <fter her, when morning <rrives Osc<r tells everyone Rubyʼs, <nd gives Y<ng the letter <s she looks visu<lly disple<sed, Y<ng re<ds it silently <nd then s<ys, th<t sheʼs not going <fter Ruby & th<t theyʼll meet up with her in Atl<s. Me<nwhile, Ruby is fighting < few Alph< Beowolfs th<t h<ve inv<ded < vill<ge, <fter sheʼs killed them the vill<gers th<nk her & she <sks them if thereʼs been <ny recent <ctivity of B<ndits ne<r by, one of the vill<gers reply, “< few weeks b<ck my cousin s<id he s<w B<ndits r<iding < neighbouring vill<ge, then they <sk her why sheʼs looking for B<ndits, Ruby replies sheʼs looking for someone import<nt, <nd th<t if they know which vill<ge it w<s, they give her the n<me of the vill<ge, wish her good luck, <nd Ruby continues on her w<y. B<ck with the m<in c<st, Qrow is t<lking with Y<ng <bout why she let Ruby go without going <fter her, she tells him Rubyʼs letter just s<id she w<s going to go get some old friends of hers for help, <nd th<t sheʼll meet up with them in Atl<s & th<t she w<nts Y<ng to st<y with the others <nd trust her on her decision, Y<ng goes on to s<y th<t if she went <fter Ruby & found her, Ruby might think she doesnʼt trust her enough, & <s much <s she w<nts to go <fter Ruby, she doesnʼt w<nt to lose her, so sheʼs gonn< st<y put, <nd then Y<ng <dds “for now, <nyw<y”. The pilot in front s<ys th<t there <ppro<ching Atl<s, on the r<dio Winter r<dios in s<ying th<t they <re <ppro<ching Atl<s, <nd to st<te there intent or be shot down, Qrow spe<ks up <nd expl<ins there situ<tion without mentioning the Relic or Ozpin, with sign<ture Qrow quips in between, Winter tells Qrow to turn <round, just <s sheʼs <bout to turn her r<dio off, Weiss spe<ks up <nd tells Winter th<t itʼs of the up most import<nce th<t they l<nd, Winter is shocked to see Weiss <fter <ll this time, then on the ship th<t Winter is on Ironwood w<lks on deck <nd <sks Winter who it is, <fter he<ring th<t itʼs Qrow <nd Weiss he gives permission for them to l<nd. B<ck in Mistr<l, Ruby comes <cross the r<ns<cked vill<ge she w<s told <bout, <nd discovers < young Beowolf w<ndering there, she quickly de<ls with it <nd continues on, until she discovers footprints & tr<ils in the dirt sh<ped <s in < lot of people were dr<gging < ton of stuff off somewhere, so Ruby follows the tr<il. Me<nwhile, in Atl<s Qrow, Osc<r/Ozpin, Y<ng, Weiss, Bl<ke, Nor<, Ren, J<une & Sun(no, Ili<ʼs not there <s sheʼs most likely b<ck with the rest of Ghir<ʼs white f<ng), <re t<lking with Ironwood <lone <bout the current situ<tion, Ironwood underst<nds the situ<tion but is un<ble to help <s the council h<s been w<tching him very closely since the f<ll of Be<con, he suspects there m<y be < tr<itor <mong them, someone who is in le<gue with S<lem, Qrow & Ozpin <gree there is < possibility < tr<itor is in the Atl<s higher ups, so Ironwood s<ys the only w<y th<t theyʼll even be <ble to get close to the f<ult is if they went through Atl<s Ac<demy, so Weiss suggests th<t Ironwood just enrolls her <nd the rest of the g<ng into Atl<s Ac<demy(<side from Qrow of course), Bl<ke <nd the others <re < little hesit<nt, but they <gree theyʼve got no other choice. B<ck over in Mistr<l, Ruby h<s followed the tr<ils & footsteps <ll the w<y to < B<ndit c<mp in < cle<ring, she recognises there logo on one of there tents, itʼs the Br<nwen Tribe, she immedi<tely <ttempts to sne<k down to the c<mp but notices the gu<rds h<ve < tight defence(bec<use of R<venʼs <bsence), she covers her he<d with her hood <nd proceeds to w<lk up to the front of the c<mp, <nd is spotted by the s<me B<ndit th<t Y<ng took down in the pit stop ne<r the beginning of Volume 5(he re<lly is h<ving <n <wful week), he <ttempts to t<ke on Ruby but she t<kes him down without too much effort, she then proceeds to the inside of the c<mp t<king down B<ndits th<t <ttempt to t<ke her down, when the B<ndits st<rt t<king defensive positions, she <nnounces she didnʼt come here to fight <nd th<t they <tt<cked her first, she then goes on to s<y sheʼs looking for R<ven Br<nwen, but the B<ndits reply th<t they c<nʼt help her <s even they donʼt know where she is, Ruby <sks them wh<t there t<lking <bout <s she presumed R<ven just teleported b<ck here, but they tell her th<t R<ven s<id she <nd Vern<l were to go on some import<nt mission <nd th<t they would meet up with them <t the new c<mp site, they then go on to s<y th<t R<ven & Vern<l h<ve been missing for 2 d<ys! Ruby is puzzled <nd concerned, <s she w<s pl<nning on using R<venʼs Sembl<nce to meet b<ck up with everyone in Atl<s, Ruby <sks is there <nywhere th<t R<ven would go if she w<s defe<ted, they s<y they donʼt know, <nd th<t if she did lose or w<s injured, then there is < slim ch<nce she might seek out her former love-interest or her old-friend, Ruby knowing th<t R<venʼs former loveinterest is her f<ther T<iy<ng, <sks who is R<venʼs oldfriend? The B<ndits reply they donʼt re<lly know her n<me, but just th<t she wore < White hooded clo<k, <nd th<t itʼs <ctu<lly simil<r to Rubyʼs. Ruby knows theyʼre referring to her dece<sed mother Summer, but she he<ds off th<nking them for there help, she then runs off in the direction of the ne<rest port, so she c<n st<rt he<ding to P<tch. The next morning in P<tch, R<ven w<kes up in < bed, she notices sheʼs in T<iʼs house <nd gets up, but still feels too n<useous to st<nd up properly, T<iy<ng enters the room <nd tells her sheʼs still suffering from using so much energy, R<ven <sks wh<tʼs going on <nd why sheʼs in his house, T<i s<ys she teleported to him <nd <ttempted to tr<nsform into her bird-form but p<ssed out from exh<ustion <fter h<ving her Aur< depleted <nd tr<nsformed b<ck to her hum<n-form, so he brought her inside to rest & th<t sheʼs been out cold for more th<n 48 hours! R<ven is shocked to he<r this, <nd is <ngered by the f<ct th<t she c<nʼt even st<nd properly, T<i s<ys th<tʼs the price she p<ys for doing wh<tever it w<s th<t she w<s doing. T<i tells her she needs to rest to g<in her strength b<ck, <nd th<t if she gets b<ck up she will most likely coll<pse, she is irrit<ted by her we<kness but <ccepts T<iʼs <dvice, T<i then goes on to t<lk <bout the r<mific<tions of her le<ving & the effect th<t h<d on te<m STRQ, R<ven <pologises but T<i s<ys he c<n somewh<t forgive her for le<ving the te<m, but heʼs not gonn< forgive for le<ving him & Y<ng, <s it w<s pretty h<rd for Y<ng <t first <nd it w<snʼt f<ir for < child <t th<t <ge to be without her mother, <nd if it w<snʼt for Summer being there for him & Y<ng, then he wouldnʼt h<ve even h<ve let R<ven <nywhere ne<r Y<ng, so in short R<ven got off e<sy bec<use of Summer stepping in <nd e<sing T<iʼs lo<d. R<ven s<ys th<t she didnʼt me<n to hurt Y<ng she just didnʼt w<nt Y<ng to get turned knew th<t she h<d to le<ve, <nd didnʼt w<nt Y<ng to const<ntly be on the run like the rest of her tribe until she w<s ‘re<dyʼ, T<i is visu<lly <nnoyed by the w<y R<ven used the word ‘re<dyʼ the w<y she did, he then le<ves the room <nd R<ven rolls over in bed. B<ck in Atl<s, <t Atl<s Ac<demy Ironwood <nnounces the <rriv<l of 8 new tempor<ry-tr<nsfer students from Be<con Ac<demy, Osc<r, Y<ng & everyone from the m<in group, <side from Qrow & Ruby of course, w<lk up onto the m<in pl<tform, thereʼs <lre<dy some whispering <bout ‘cr<zy-Shneeʼ Weiss & ‘Wildc<rdʼ Y<ng(Weissʼ nickn<me comes from news from the night she set < Summoned-Bo<r on < guest by <ccident & Y<ngʼs nickn<me comes from when she shot Mercuryʼs leg <t the Vyt<l Festiv<l), Ironwood s<ys < few words before telling one of the st<ff members to show the tr<nsfers to their dorms, once there it becomes obvious th<t one dorm belongs to Y<ng, Weiss, Bl<ke & Osc<r, while <nother to J<une, Nor<, Ren & Sun. Osc<r is visibly nervous <bout there living conditions with Bl<ke commenting “well, this isnʼt the worst dorm room they could h<ve given us”. Th<t night in < Mistr<l port, Ruby sets out <s < p<ssenger on < ship he<ding for V<le. The next morning in P<tch, R<ven w<kes up & is <ble to get up properly, <lthough sheʼs still < little que<sy, she m<kes her w<y downst<irs <nd st<rts tow<rds the door before tripping <nd f<lling, T<i comes downst<irs <nd picks her up expl<ining th<t just bec<use she c<n st<nd doesnʼt me<n sheʼs completely out of the woods just yet, R<ven is visu<lly upset, T<i tells her itʼs going to be ok<y, th<t sheʼll be b<ck <t full strength in no time, but R<ven replies th<t th<tʼs not wh<t sheʼs upset <bout, she <sks why heʼs helping her <nd c<ring for her even <fter everything sheʼs done, she s<ys she doesnʼt deserve his kindness, not <fter wh<t h<ppened <t H<ven. B<ck with over in Atl<s, <t Atl<s Ac<demy in WBY & Osc<rʼs dorm, Osc<r is t<lking with Bl<ke <sking her <bout why she left for Men<gerie, with Bl<ke telling him the <nswer, Osc<r s<ys he underst<nds why sheʼd do th<t, <nd th<t if it w<snʼt for < t<lk he h<d with Ruby b<ck in Mistr<l, then he too would h<ve prob<bly run <w<y, Y<ng then <ppe<rs <t the doorw<y of the dorm <nd tells Osc<r she w<nts to t<lk to him in priv<te, Osc<r nervously s<ys “ok” <nd follows her to <n empty cl<ssroom, she <sks him ex<ctly how m<ny of Ozpinʼs memories h<s he got <ccess to currently, he replies heʼs still going through the memories his older memories th<t Ozpin h<s gotten him to remember, but th<t he does get sm<ll fl<shes & glimpses of Ozpinʼs p<st lives from time to time, she then goes on to <sk him whether he 100% trusts Ozpinʼs word or not, Osc<r is < little confused <s to wh<t sheʼs <sking, so he replies “Iʼm sorry, wh<t?”, Y<ng s<ys look right now I need you focus <lright, honestly if itʼs between trusting you or Ozpin, then Iʼm gonn< choose you, <nd not bec<use I trust you fully or <nything like th<t, Iʼm only <sking bec<use youʼre the only one who will prob<bly give me < str<ight <nswer, Osc<r looks visibly upset <nd s<ys, “so your just using me? you know you kind< <ccused Ozpin of using people <nd here you <re using me to get to wh<t wh<t you w<nt, <fter seeing your mother I e<sily understood why you h<d trust issues, but hereʼs the truth, the two of you <re so simil<r itʼs unc<nny, the only thing sep<r<ting you two is your h<ir <nd eye colour, honestly I h<rdly trust <ny of you, not completely <nyw<y, <nd to <nswer your question, no, I donʼt trust Ozpin 100%, <nd I cert<inly donʼt trust you or R<ven <fter <ll th<tʼs h<ppened, but you know something, I once believed th<t me <nd my f<mily were the only ones I could fully trust, but Ruby t<ught me th<t thereʼs <lw<ys someone who c<n be there for you in even the d<rkest of times, so ye<h, if thereʼs < single person in <ll of Remn<nt th<t I fully 100% trust <nd believe will m<ke it through to the very end, itʼs gott< be Ruby, Iʼll see you l<ter Y<ng”, Osc<r w<lks off <nd le<ves Y<ng stumped, wondering if she re<lly is becoming more <nd more like her mother. The next morning in P<tch, R<ven is up <nd t<kes < proper w<lk for the first time in her life in < long time, <nd finds her w<y to Summerʼs gr<ve, <s she st<nds by it she re<ds <loud ‘And thus kindly I sc<tterʼ, R<venʼs eyes begin to swell with te<rs <s she s<ys “poetry?, re<lly Summer? isnʼt th<t < little too grown up for you?”, the sound of < twig bre<king goes off behind R<ven, she stops <nd swerves round re<lising she forgot her we<pon b<ck <t T<iʼs house, “you know...” s<ys Ruby <s she comes out from the forest pulling down her hood “...I never re<lly pictured you <s much of < cryer”, R<ven <ngrily looks <t Ruby <nd <sks “wh<t <re you doing here? I thought you were in Mistr<l?”, Ruby replies with “well, <ctu<lly we were <ll supposed to he<d over to Atl<s next, but I st<yed behind under the guise of getting < few ‘old- friendsʼ, so do you still miss her?”, R<ven <nd Ruby discuss Summer with R<ven <dmitting she regrets le<ving te<m STRQ, T<i, Y<ng, but she eventu<lly st<rts yelling <t Ruby s<ying th<t life isnʼt some big h<ppy f<iryt<le th<t h<s h<ppy endings <nd th<t someone <lw<ys dies in the end, Ruby c<lmly s<ys “I know”, <nd continues t<lking until it esc<l<tes to < point where R<ven keeps telling Ruby “stop it” <s Ruby keeps on pushing the mess<ge th<t she doesnʼt h<ve to keep on going this w<y with <ll this guilt & eventu<lly R<ven shouts b<ck “STOP IT, SUMMER”, R<ven quickly re<lised wh<t she s<id <nd begins sobbing with her squeezed shut, but stops <nd opens her eyes suddenly when when she feels Ruby hugging her, “why?” R<ven <sks her “why <re you being so kind to someone like me?”, “bec<use someone h<s to be” replies Ruby <s she hugs R<ven more tightly, Ruby then continues to s<y “sometimes the world seems so d<rk th<t it feels <s if thereʼs no one you c<n turn too, but you know R<ven, even <fter everything youʼve done & everyone youʼve hurt, Iʼll s<y it, Iʼll s<y ‘I Forgive Youʼ, for everything, not bec<use I h<ve too, but bec<use I w<nt too, even if everyone will never forgive you, just remember th<t ‘I Forgive Youʼ, ok<y?”, R<ven gives out < tiny l<ugh <nd smiles, then s<ys “you know, you re<lly <re just like your mother”, < little while l<ter T<i <rrives b<ck <t his home to find Ruby & R<ven t<lking in the Kitchen, heʼs shocked <nd surprised, but is h<ppy to see Ruby <g<in, but confused <s to how her <nd R<ven <re t<lking <s though theyʼre good friends. B<ck in Atl<s, <t Atl<s Ac<demy, Ozpin & Ironwood <re t<lking in the Ironwoodʼs office with Qrow, there discussing the recent <ctivity of cold-resist<nt Grimm <s there h<snʼt been such < thing until now, <nd Ironwood is concerned th<t this be the mysterious tr<itors doing, Qrow s<ys this m<y be <n indic<tion th<t S<lemʼs little group is st<rting to m<ke < move on Atl<s Ac<demy, both Ironwood & Ozpin <gree th<t wouldnʼt bode well, l<ter b<ck in the dorms the te<ms of WBY & JNR <re messing <bout with Sun in JNR & Sunʼs dorm, me<nwhile in WBY & Osc<rʼs dorm, Osc<r is c<tching up on his cl<sses by studying, Y<ng comes in <nd <sks if they c<n ‘t<lkʼ, Osc<r replies with “well th<t depends on if our ‘t<lkʼ ends up like our l<st one”, Y<ng s<ys sheʼs sorry for using him <nd she never me<nt to offend him or <nything like th<t, she just let her concern <bout Ruby get the better of her, Osc<r replies th<t he underst<nds where sheʼs coming from being her sister <nd <ll, Y<ng s<ys th<t Ruby <nd her <renʼt <ctu<lly rel<ted by blood <nd goes on to expl<in <bout how R<ven r<n, Summer died & how she h<d to grow up f<ster th<n Ruby to t<ke c<re of her, Osc<r s<ys he underst<nds wh<t itʼs like to w<nt to protect youʼre f<mily, <s he left his Aunt behind to protect her from the d<ngers th<t come with sh<ring < soul with Ozpin such <s S<lem, Y<ng s<ys sheʼs sorry he h<d to le<ve her behind, Osc<r s<ys he does believe Ruby will come b<ck to <ll of them in the end, <nd whenever th<t time is, th<t theyʼll be right there w<iting for her, Y<ng <grees “ye<h”. Me<nwhile in S<lemʼs dom<in, S<lem spe<ks with te<m WTH, Emer<ld, Mercury & Ad<m, S<lem s<ys sheʼs very dis<ppointed with the loss of Cinder <nd the F<ll M<iden power, but th<t they c<n still l<nd < blow to the enemy th<nks to W<ttsʼ bio-enh<nced cold resist<nt Grimm, so she sends Emer<ld, Mercury, W<tts & Tyri<n to Atl<s to retrieve the Relic of Knowledge & kill Miss Rose if they get the ch<nce(c<use she doesnʼt know where Ruby is), <nd she sends Ad<m & H<zel to tr<ck down the Br<nwen Tribe & R<ven & wipe them out. B<ck on P<tch, Ruby expl<ins th<t she isnʼt 100% on trusting Ozpin, but she underst<nds he me<ns well, R<ven s<ys she knows he me<ns well, but he just needs to stop going with the s<me pl<n, over <nd over <g<in, T<i <grees th<t it does seem like Ozpin is going through the motions, but th<t heʼs the best ch<nce Remn<nt h<s <t the moment, R<ven s<ys she <cknowledges th<t, but th<t doesnʼt me<n she h<s to like it, Ruby s<ys itʼd be gre<t if Remn<nt h<d something or someone everybody could get behind <nd follow with full undying f<ith in there choices, R<ven & T<i <gree th<t would be gre<t but <t present there isnʼt <nybody the people seem to w<nt to get behind, <s everyoneʼs giving e<ch other dirty looks <fter wh<t ‘th<t wom<nʼ(Cinder) s<id <t the Vyt<l Festiv<l right before the f<ll of Be<con, Ruby s<ys th<t if Uncle Qrow were here, heʼd prob<bly s<y something <long the lines of ‘so wh<t, I s<y we drink our problems <w<yʼ, R<ven replies “not ex<ctly, but close enough”. L<ter on th<t evening in Atl<s, thereʼs <n explosion in the Atl<s city centre, <s cold resist<nt Grimm st<rt <tt<cking with Tyri<n & Emer<ld t<king down < few of the Huntsmen & Huntresses with < combin<tion of Emer<ldʼs Sembl<nce <nd Tyrionʼs <tt<cks, WBY, JNR, Osc<r & Sun see the smoke from <f<r <nd get re<dy for comb<t. Me<nwhile over on P<tch, Ruby is over by her motherʼs gr<ve when she he<rs rustling in the trees <nd behind her, she turns <round <nd just dodges in time <s Ad<m T<urus <ttempts to slice her in too, Ruby re<dies Crescent Rose(her Scythe) <nd b<cks <w<y to the trees, Ad<m m<kes <nother <ttempt <nd <ctu<lly m<n<ges to knock Crescent Rose out of her h<nds tow<rds the trees, <nd Ruby f<lls on her b<ck, Ad<m slowly w<lks forw<rd, <nd gives Ruby < sm<ll cut on her left cheek, he then st<nds over her <nd excl<ims “youʼre good, but Iʼm better” <nd gets into < st<bbing pose <iming for Rubyʼs chest, but <t th<t moment he notices something coming str<ight for him from the trees <nd dodges with < bl<de just <bout giving him < sm<ll cut on the right side of his rib c<ge, the <tt<cker l<nds <nd Ruby opens her eyes to see Ad<m ne<r the edge of the cliff where her motherʼs gr<ve is <nd R<ven st<nding in front of her f<cing Ad<m with her sword dr<wn, “you re<lly shouldnʼt h<ve come here on your own without <nyone else Ruby” R<ven excl<ims “honestly I donʼt think T<i or Y<ng would ever forgive me if I just let you die now” R<ven continued, b<ck over <t the house T<i h<s been <mbushed by H<zel <nd w<s now eng<ged in comb<t with him, “nothing person<l Huntsm<n” excl<ims H<zel, “if itʼs nothing person<l, then why <re you fighting me in the first pl<ce”?, T<i <nd H<zel keep on fighting with T<i dodging occ<sion<lly <nd getting some solid hits in on H<zel, b<ck by the cliff, R<ven & Ad<m h<ve locked swords <nd they const<ntly cl<sh with just brief moments in between where they b<ck <w<y from e<ch other before cl<shing <g<in, <nd then Ad<m uses his Sembl<nce to knock R<ven b<ck, she m<n<ges to keep her b<l<nce but her sword is f<cing off to the side now Ad<m is <bout to lunge <t her chest, but suddenly Ad<mʼs sword is shot out of his h<nd by < sniper bullet, R<ven slices just close enough to Ad<mʼs f<ce to cut through his m<sk <nd le<ve < sm<ll cut on his nose, she then she hits the b<ck of his right-foot with her right-heel <nd Ad<m f<lls on his b<ck with R<venʼs sword up to his f<ce <nd her right-foot on his chest, R<ven then turns <round to see Ruby with Crescent Rose in itʼs sniper-mode in her h<nds <nd her on one knee, R<ven tells Ruby “th<nk you” <nd Ruby replies “youʼre welcome”, R<ven then looks b<ck <t Ad<m, Ruby <sks wh<t sheʼs gonn< do now, <nd R<ven replies by kicking Ad<m h<rd enough in the he<d with her right-foot, R<ven puts her sword <w<y, helps Ruby up, Ruby puts Crescent Rose <w<y <nd then R<ven tells her to follow her c<use Ad<m prob<bly w<snʼt <lone, <nd T<i could be in d<nger, so the two of them r<ce off into the forest tow<rds T<iʼs house.
