Chapter two: the setting of the stage

Last time

"Oh I wonder what's going to be inside it" ruby said to her partner.

"And you'll never know you dunce, remember ozpin said to not open it" wiess yelled

"Oh come on he'll never know if just take a…" crash "peak. What was that" ruby asked

"No idea but let's check it out" wiess replied "over there it came from the mechanism to open the container"

As they approached the container they saw that the machine had come to life and was starting to open. And what they saw inside surprised them.

"It's a man" they both gasped in surprise at the same time.

Now

"Awwwwww" moaned ruby "I thought it was supposed to be a weapon, not some dude with modesty issues"

"And bathing issues" wiess agreed as she looked at the strange man that was sprawled on the bottom of the container. The floor inside was covered with what looked like dirt or dust (the household variety). Then it occurred to wiess. "Isn't this crate supposed to be thousands of years old, like from the first empire before the grim?"

Ruby stopped and thought about that for a moment and replied "but then how is he alive? And if so then I bet that dirt on the ground is his clothes."

Wiess was about to reply to ruby query when someone cut across her "thank you for watching my prize for me but I must ask you move away"

The two girls turned startled to see a man in a white suite, black bowler hat, with orange hair, and copious amounts of eyeliner.

"Torchwick!" both girls shouted at the same time.

Ruby then said to wiess "hold him off while I call the others" as she pulled out here scroll Torchwick said

"Ah ah ah not this time little red" and he proceeded to shoot his cane and destroy her scroll. As the scythe wielder saw that their only hope of backup was gone she attacked the criminal. Using her semblance she got behind him and slashed at his back but he turned at the last moment and blocked not realizing that he had presented his back to wiess who was now charging with her rapier to stab him in the back. Torchwick realizing his mistake at the last moment dodged out of the way so that wiess' attack collided with her partner effectively knocking out her partner. As wiess was standing up she saw that Torchwick was aiming his cane at her and at this range she knew she couldn't doge or block the shot. And as the despair settled onto her roman said gloatingly "any last words ice queen" as wiess accepted her defeat and coming death she couldn't believe it when she heard another deep voice say

"Yeah, up yours faggit" and as those words were heard a large muscular object slammed into Torchwick and pinned him to the ground and started to pound his face with its fists. As he was about to pass out roman fired his cane into the strange man's leg literally blowing it off from the force of the flare and as the mysterious man from the box grabbed his stump in pain roman got out from under him and fled. As Torchwick fled the man began to laugh uproaresly As wiess crawled over to the man she started to talk thinking the man was going into shock due to his injury "it's going to be okay the doctors are going to fix your leg and you'll be fine in a few months." Whatever she was going to say next was cut off as she literally watched as the man's leg grew back looking as if he had never been injured.

P.O.V change Simon

I was sitting on the ground laughing like a mad man as I thought "yes, I'm finally free of that god damned box. I can stretch, I can talk to real people, and I can feel pain again. Uhhh, wait a minute that's bad" then I looked down at my leg as I heard the girl in white talking to me. I chose to ignore her in favor of growing my leg as I finished I looked over at the girl I saved and saw that she was staring at me as if I had just grown a second head. "Which now that I think about it that's a pretty reasonable expression." And then she just fainted. "Huhhhhhhh" I let out a long sigh as I got up and walked over to the red and white duo as I crouched down beside her and checked them both for pulses I heard a door open and saw a beautiful blonde girl and a brunette walk in and upon seeing me both assumed fighting stances. I just took a step back and put my hands up as the blonde girl yelled out "what the hell did you do to my sister you perv!"

"Perv? Who the hell are you calling a pervert? When you dress like a common hooker on the streets of Houston." I said back confused as I look down at myself and realized I was naked "oh, well this looks bad but I can explain" I said right before the blond sucker punched me knocking me out.

-Master of War-

As I came to I saw a field of white.

"Great another hospital just what I need" I thought as I attempted to rub my eyes only to find out they were handcuffed to the bed.

"Why oh god do I always wake up in hospitals hand cuffed to the bed? Is it because you hate me? Or are you just into bondage" I said staring at the ceiling only to hear snickers to my left. As I turned to look left I saw the Burnette from before and as I actually took in her features I saw that she had amber eyes that were slit like a cats. "Nice eyes. Contacts?" I asked she just looked at me no longer laughing.

"No completely natural" she replied as if having cat eyes was an everyday thing.

"Bullshit. If those eyes are natural then I'm human." I stated in reply. She just looked at me like I'm an idiot.

"Well they are natural and you are human." She said then she mumbles "of course I get stuck guarding the crazy guy in the hospital."

To which I said "I'm not crazy I just have a colorful personality." she just snorts at my statement then becomes serious.

"Well now that you're awake you can answer some of my questions" she said in a business like tone.

"Ok I will do my best" I said flashing my most charming smile which seemed to have no effect on the girl.

"Good now first of what's your name?" she asked

"Lieutenant Simon Camron at you service" I answered she then wrote my answer on a pad of paper.

"Where are you from?" was her next question

I replied "Houston Texas ma'am" my smartass ma'am thrown in even though the girl couldn't be more than three years my junior

"Right, and age?" she asked

"Well that depends. What year is it?" I asked

She just raised an eyebrow and stated "it's the year 12098."

"Well in that case I am exactly 10083 years old" I said as if the news that I was ten millenniums old was nothing.

"Uhuh, is that so?" she asked "well then my last question, why were you in the high security vault of beacon academy?"

"Well I honestly have no idea how to answer that as 1. I don't know what beacon academy is or where it is and 2. You'd probably get a better answer from the girls in red or white or from the dude in the white suit black bowler hat and orange hair."

"Wait this man with the orange hair. Did he wear a lot of eyeliner?"

"Yes he did." I dutifully answered

"Well then ozpin is going to want to have a word with you until then thank you for the answers and have a good day." And with that she left.
