This story will be switching from my OC's perspective to third person often so I apologize just try to bear with me. Please review and favorite.
Zane's POV
"Mister horn would you please come to my office" Great so I get called to the "Principle's" office yet again. I wonder what I did this time. Maybe this time I can finally go on a mission now that my arm is healed. I wonder how Rena is doing with out me there to help. "About time" I open the door to Ozpin's office and see Ozpin sitting behind his desk looking at his computer. One thought went through my mind "Somethings wrong" Before I step into the office proper I activate my semblance and I start to probe the room in front of me and feel the presence of two other people just on the other side of the pillars on the left and right sides of the entrance. I step forward "You called for me professor?"
"Yes please sit down mister Horn we need to talk" I go over to sit in front of him but before I sit I glance over my shoulder but see no one.
"What did I do this time?" I say as I cross my arms across my chest.
"You? You did nothing. Unfortunately we have some news about the mission in quadrant three. The students Kathren Orn, Oren Horn, and Rena Hazen have been reported as killed in action. I'm very sorry Zane." They're dead? Was the only thought in my head.
General POV
Zane uncrossed his arms and clenched his fists. This is my fault. He stands up and turns to to the door. "And where are you going mister Horn?"
Zane's voice grew cold "Where do you think I'm going?" As He walks towards the door he sees Qrow Branwen step out and block his path. "Qrow I swear if you dont get out of my way we are both going to regret it"
"Listen kid I'm only stopping you so you don't get yourself killed." He reached out to put his hand on Zane's shoulder but was stopped when Zane used his tail to grab his wrist.
"That is enough mister Horn. What Qrow is trying to say is that we can't afford to lose any more students. As the leader and last surviving member of team KORZ I in good conscious can't let you continue to go to beacon without a team. However there is a team I can assign you to since there is another student that is injured. From now on you will be the fourth member of her team." At this Coco Adel stepped out from the other pillar and smiled.
"He will make a fine addition to our team." She turns and opens the door "You coming or not?"
Zane's POV
I can't believe they're dead. My best friend. My sister. My girlfriend. And it was my fault. I got to cocky in a fight and got injured and because of me they had insisted on going on the mission without me. I look down at my hands and flex my arms and I can feel the difference. My left arm was flesh and blood while my right clearly feels mechanical. "I'm sorry guys. I promise you, I will keep the team alive." Crap Coco is talking to me.
"You coming or not?" she says.
I drop my arms. "Yeah I'm coming"
A few minutes later we are standing out side team CFVY's room.
General POV
Coco stops and looks at Zane. "Listen I know you just lost your entire team and despite what Ozpin says I think we should at least go find their weapons. We are here for you so don't be afraid to ask."
"Thank you but the only person that used a weapon on the team besides me was Rena and I don't think I can face it. Besides I don't want to put you and your team in danger." Zane again looks at his right arm.
Coco watches him carefully. "You keep looking at your arm you ok?"
He nods "I'm fine I'll tell your whole team about it some day. By the way I'm not here to replace Yatsuhashi so I will go back to my room to sleep if that's ok with you."
"That's up to the team" she says as she opens the door. They walk in and see two other people sitting on their beds.
"Zane this is the rest of our team. This is Fox Alistair" She pointed to a young dark haired man sitting on the closest bed. "He doesn't talk much." Coco whispers then speaks in a normal tone. "And this is Velvet Scarlatina. Guys this is Zane Horn he has been temporarily assigned to our team until Yatsuhashi is better."
"Uh hey guys." Zane says as his tail starts to swish back and forth.
Velvet sat a little straighter. "Y-your a Faunus to?" She asked tentatively.
His tail stopped and he wrapped it around his waist. "Yes I am. I'm sorry if this upsets you guys. I know I can't take his place but I hope I can be valuable to this team."
To everyone's surprise it was Fox who came over and puts his hand on Zane's left shoulder "Your fine as long as you do your best."
"He's right. Come get settled. Your bed is here." Velvet said pointing to the bed next to hers.
"Thank you but I have my own bed in my own room so I don't bother you."
This time Coco speaks up. "It's no bother. Besides we need to get to know you. Stuff like what is your semblance what is your weapon? You know that kind of thing."
