(In Vol5 I thought Yang crying was a nice scene as it made sense as Raven just left her again but her speech at Raven, though nice, felt off. So here's an alternate idea that hit me for the vault. The baddies showed up thanks to Raven but instead of joining the fight before going down, Raven, Cinder, and I can't remember her name all go down. The group upstairs fight, I'm thinking more splitting up out of just the 1 room so can have more focused fights with the reason being to see if there's any alternative way down into the vault when Emerald is screwing with their heads and making it harder to judge if they are going in the right direction to dash down the open hole. The decoy dies right before touching the door to Cinder who finds no power only to just barely move out of the way of a lightning strike. The fight ends with Raven breaking Cinder's aura and uses freezing rain in the room, freezing Cinder who's having trouble focusing with the sharp pelting, falling over the edge. I'm thinking later after she's managed to recover while floating on the water, uses the maiden powers to get herself back up and blasts her way out before taking off when seeing the relic is gone)
(This is kind of long in a script-like format with a novel style version possible later on)
Raven: -catches her breath and approaches the door. She looks at her hand then the massive door before her- "Do you really want to do this?" -a voice inside her head asks gently-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9LjO48axN
Raven: -sighs- How do I know he hasn't found someone, or she hasn't found someone to host your power that has a good heart? If they have or if she has given anyone else the power of absorption...they will end up with your powers and the item.508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfDDf5NcHi
Maiden: "I trust you won't fall that easily. You'll survive, as you've been doing. Please, leave the door sealed and the item inside. I don't want to risk a snowball effect and my power causing you madness."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXyjhgE4cO
Raven: -sighs and rests her hand on her forehead- Fine, I'll leave it sealed. Damn, squash my curiosity and possibly free knowledge on how to take them down. ...You sure I can't just take a peak and reclose it?508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKeoTyHmUI
Maiden: -snaps- "No!"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjahe6jL19
Raven: Got it, no peaking either.508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzplloO99s
Yang: -jumps down, stands and approaches- "Raven, I'm glad to see you're alright."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0BqkknoDR
Raven: -jumps and turns quickly, hand lowered- "Yang. What are you doing here? I told you to handle things with your father."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEMruF1NJo
Yang: "I wanted to help out. I couldn't just stay back and play babysitter to people. Sure, a Huntress is to help people feel assured but our teachers had it under control."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2FA7WyrZ1
Raven: -shakes her head- "Well the deed is done here. We should return." -starts walking to Yang and towards the elevator-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb82VrULjlq
Yang: -eyes on the yellow swirly door, keeps walking- "This is amazing. How in the world is this thing so big and how are those trees blooming and glowing like that?" -asks with a whisper, in awe-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw1s9LNDi3
Raven: -turns- "It's nothing now let's go Yang."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5x6RFt0K2
Yang: "No, tell me what this is." -looks back to Raven- "You said no more secrets yet you're still keeping some."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcdtXYAc3C
Raven: "I guess I did..." -takes a breath- "It's made and sealed by magic, the same which turns me into a raven."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJUCN3gYQ
Yang: "What's inside?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltqtM6Q2uN
Raven: "An item that should stay there. Now, as I've said before, let us be going."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx1u3KrPXn
Yang: "How do you know it should stay inside?" -puts hand on multi-fan door- "Or even what is inside?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdpi3vsCqY
Raven: -inhales, exhales- "I just do now-"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6v4rg7Ebc
Yang: "You're hiding when you said you wouldn't when you said we had to talk. You told me about a multi- century feud between Ozpin and Salem. You told me to watch out for those who carry a mark of the Grimm somewhere on their body as they tend to be the more obvious ones with Salem. You also told me to watch out for Adam."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUcYCebJc
Raven: -motions to Yang's missing arm- "And you listened so well with that warning a year ago."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCLyAsmCI
Yang: -looks to her half limb then to Raven- "I had to protect my teammate. Now, tell me what's inside or show me."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6SeGOMoRq
Raven: -looks to the elevator then to the door- What do you think? Should I show her?508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSUjPplM1A
Maiden: "Well I'm not much trusting of her but I can feel you trust her to not blab this out to others. You may tell her about me and my power as well as...see the item that lays beyond. Seal the door before we leave with the item left inside. That is all I request."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaNT1PDz4i
Raven: I will. "Alright." -walks up to Yang and the door- "There is an old story about an old man gifting four women seasonal magic and seemingly immortality to help humanity."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUAi9Aat7A
Yang: "Right, dad used to read it to me and Ruby, continuing the routine mom started when we were very little."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjx5pylBhF
Raven: "Well...it's more than a story for children." -Yang looks to Raven curious as Raven watches the door- "And I'll show you." -Raven holds a hand out and touches the door with her eyes glowing a green color. The door opens as we see in the show and there is a vast hot desert and past three impact zones floats a lamp of blue and gold-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sDRpKEEcT
Yang: -shocked at the sight and slowly looks to Raven- "So you're..."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D23UF9qzi
Raven: -eyes stop glowing as she lowers her hand- "The Spring Maiden."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedRzx9iNzX
Yang: "Did you-?!"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3iexHQACv
Raven: "No!" -snaps, shaking her head- "She was killed by another. I was not expecting Dandi to approach me during the night a few years back."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAtdy7NtDk
Yang: "Dandi?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgUMrT9Rx5
Raven: "Dandelion, nickname Dandi. The spirit. Remember, the maiden was once a person. Now then," -she looks at the lantern- "we've seen what's inside. Time to close it back up."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80m5zr7QEO
Yang: "We will but I want to see if it's real. How is there a desert underground with sunlight?" -starts walking inside the demi-plane-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrlome11af
Raven: -looks back at the elevator then to Yang- "Don't take too long. Hurry up."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbMHu45F9t
Yang: -waves- "I will." -she gets to the lamp and touches the side- "It's real. Whoa."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xjhMZgNgH
Raven: -looked behind her hearing the flapping of wings- Damn it! -looks to Yang- "Get out of there so I can seal it. I don't want to deal with your uncle."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UuZlHAh3R
Yang: -turns and starts back to the door- "He's not that bad. I bet he might even enjoy seeing you for more than a moment, like upstairs."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuf3bvI72o
Raven: "He was ready to kill me up there and-" -the flapping gets closer and then the sound of fabric in wind. Quickly she drew her blade and sliced through the air, opening a portal- "Don't mess with that item. I'll be back in a few minutes if you hang out here when you get them gone. I don't need Ozpin on my back."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcY2D0KcL9
Yang: "Wait!" -shouts and reaches out as she runs only for Raven to vanish through the portal that closes as Qrow lands and catches Ozpin in his early teen body (Oscar but Ozpin is able to regenerate himself a new body from training his focus, aura and semblance). Yang sighs defeated and turns to them in the doorway- "Hey guys. What's up?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjspVcMIOpK
Qrow: "We wanted to check on you. The others upstairs booked it and I was worried about you with my sister. Which...where is she?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpl1UBjlHc
Yang: "She had to go take care of something."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUTiP2lYi
Ozpin: -his eyes land on the open door and his face falls- "Miss Long...who opened that door?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKHWErD7OR
Yang: -puts her hands behind her head, doing a relaxed pose with one foot crossed over in front of the other while standing- "Dunno. Might'a been Cinder. Was open when I showed up."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEIxB6tB4S
Qrow: -eyes Yang suspiciously- "You said your mother had gone off. She was down here with you."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuaC6mkxOJ
Yang: -rolls her eyes- "Yeah, she was keeping Cinder away from the open door. After that we talked about how our lives have been and then she left to go take care of things."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm8vDuciGL
Ozpin: "In any case, we'll need to take the relic with us. We can't leave it here with the door open. Anyone can get it and we wouldn't know."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqqylMRqf
Yang: -folds her arms- "What does it do?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDgEi79Wo
Ozpin: "I'll explain later. For now, we need to get it."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9HYyvVLGb
Yang: -looks over to the side as Qrow starts walking inside- "You guys sure you can't just go up and send the elevator back down for me and I come back up later?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK10zF4xHof
Qrow: -stops just inside on the sand- "What would that change? Besides, just goes one way when it has people on it, and without Raven here with her portals, you would be stuck down here." -continues-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbA2C6qfDd
Ozpin: "Is there a reason you don't want us here?" -looks her face over-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvNPnBPdKJ
Yang: -avoids eye contact- "It was just a question because I wanted to see if she might show back up."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmFZy1Av78
Ozpin: "You...said Cinder...had opened the door?" -Yang nods as Oz looks at the spring green trees- "...Interesting information. Seems she has somehow taken in two maiden powers somehow..." -he pondered, holding his chin with arms folded-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHOnWZGjBA
Yang: -walks inside with Qrow who picks up the lamp- "Hey, how about I carry that for you?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWU3SiuC0
Qrow: -looks to Yang- "I got it. Now come on. We gotta get going. Oz wants to check in on Ironwood." -starts out with Yang following-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvGavllbRU
Yang: "How's everyone else?"508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAqlpBixsd
Qrow: "Tired but fine overall."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE5X6wwWE3
Yang: -sighs- "That's good."508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGMScabZPK
-They arrive and get on the platform, all three headed back up. Yang gives one last look back, turns her gaze down and rubs her upper arm. Oz turns his gaze carefully to the uncertain looking Yang but stays quiet and looks forward as the statue returns to the surface under the balcony-508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7NlDsdbQP
