(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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGdGDEPtAC
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC826HqyBDn
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1lZPzpSP0
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?457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRyPmGyfqE
Maiden: -snaps- "No!"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc6F0THqLX
Raven: Got it, no peaking either.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JtJOfV58N
Yang: -jumps down, stands and approaches- "Raven, I'm glad to see you're alright."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc7iqMQhc4
Raven: -jumps and turns quickly, hand lowered- "Yang. What are you doing here? I told you to handle things with your father."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFYGB6u4RM
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BI4dDco80
Raven: -shakes her head- "Well the deed is done here. We should return." -starts walking to Yang and towards the elevator-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnmE0YCUr
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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOkEyLl4zj
Raven: -turns- "It's nothing now let's go Yang."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0VwTjCuvB
Yang: "No, tell me what this is." -looks back to Raven- "You said no more secrets yet you're still keeping some."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhJRiMSMcQ
Raven: "I guess I did..." -takes a breath- "It's made and sealed by magic, the same which turns me into a raven."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhFQDv40Rn
Yang: "What's inside?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwED4eDMKl
Raven: "An item that should stay there. Now, as I've said before, let us be going."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8QQJactzo
Yang: "How do you know it should stay inside?" -puts hand on multi-fan door- "Or even what is inside?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMzowKfEuJ
Raven: -inhales, exhales- "I just do now-"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphsIf2m4yV
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihqz8hdA1
Raven: -motions to Yang's missing arm- "And you listened so well with that warning a year ago."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsVvnwpppg
Yang: -looks to her half limb then to Raven- "I had to protect my teammate. Now, tell me what's inside or show me."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NcWMBP1pE
Raven: -looks to the elevator then to the door- What do you think? Should I show her?457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxlLID7Nqa
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKnUoP2ZMn
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkd3QGqi5G
Yang: "Right, dad used to read it to me and Ruby, continuing the routine mom started when we were very little."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4lnUQSOEH
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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxIoyD0Fqd
Yang: -shocked at the sight and slowly looks to Raven- "So you're..."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0MR3VENq
Raven: -eyes stop glowing as she lowers her hand- "The Spring Maiden."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhj2uB2tK7
Yang: "Did you-?!"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq3W07Cqcm
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWPvPNKK3R
Yang: "Dandi?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtICnmhvHC
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaOwaHOObS
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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTiGaiY4ho
Raven: -looks back at the elevator then to Yang- "Don't take too long. Hurry up."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefJZPM07S0
Yang: -waves- "I will." -she gets to the lamp and touches the side- "It's real. Whoa."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGWJ70SP7
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbntNmHg44
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXrw9NznRH
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSLZFx76pI
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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfWYzNjeVF
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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX8RlcdZ9S
Yang: "She had to go take care of something."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqblD31hcso
Ozpin: -his eyes land on the open door and his face falls- "Miss Long...who opened that door?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMyUiedLFW
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQSdVMFT1
Qrow: -eyes Yang suspiciously- "You said your mother had gone off. She was down here with you."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmonc5uXn6
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9wtyHFced
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVsF59Sj1y
Yang: -folds her arms- "What does it do?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIYYhAz3AL
Ozpin: "I'll explain later. For now, we need to get it."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mBq0vvBp3
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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxHMyI28F
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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW1hyc9I3b
Ozpin: "Is there a reason you don't want us here?" -looks her face over-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFNCzXkHan
Yang: -avoids eye contact- "It was just a question because I wanted to see if she might show back up."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcvi1RwkM
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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNicec1KNY
Yang: -walks inside with Qrow who picks up the lamp- "Hey, how about I carry that for you?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey0pk6ZpHp
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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ePIwpr30
Yang: "How's everyone else?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF9gR7socX
Qrow: "Tired but fine overall."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC733kK1Cz1
Yang: -sighs- "That's good."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicq4WgbTBt
-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-457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4TYLI6Og
