RubyXOC part one of rewrite, need a beta.

Note sorry if some of the info of the last chapter, here's A simple version of the last chapter if It didn't make sense,

gryphon went off to meet with Ozpin, to talk about the "hope" against " the dark one" ( Salem) unfortunately he gets separated and runs off due to an fanuas Hunter. Who recognized him as a wing lord. In menagerie both the Dragon and Phoenix council to met to talk about gryphons disappearance, and what it does, meanwhile the Griffins have a separate meeting. After a desicon is made both a Griffin and a Dragon go to send the headmaster of the nearest academy ( Beacon) a message telling the headmaster about the situation, headmaster Ozpin is being apologized to by the vale council about not trusting his intuitions about the vital festival, when he gets one message. About gryphon. He called for team RWBY to be sent up to talk to him.

(And now the story)

Ruby rose woke up in his bunk bed at Beacon and stared up at the ceiling she looked around and felt a vibration she looked to see her scroll ringing the worlds scrolling on the screen read " team Ruby please come to the headmasters office at once priority one." It read Ruby threw off the quilt and sighed " everything with Ozpin is priority one." She said as she sat up. " that's the way he always has been you can't blame him, he's a busy man." A voice said from under her Ruby looked down to see Weiss looking at her. " sorry Weiss I didn't mean to wake you." She said " it's okay we all have the same scrolls so we should get the same message, come on let's get dressed to see him." Weiss said as they got dressed

team RWBY as well as team JNPR and CRDL were now second year students. With team RWBY were the head of the class. The vital festival was attacked and penny was " killed" but cinder didn't kill any one else as Ozpin defeated her but she did steal ambers powers. Ruby ran down to the vault to see what happened where Ruby told her about the madens, there Ruby swore she would get the powers back, and her with Jaune, Ren and Nora went after her. Pyrrha was injured during the battle of Beacon and was sent to recover and didn't join them,

Now Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang ( she didn't lose the arm) were in front of the doors to his office. Ruby looked at her team dressed in full combat gear of there first year she wore her summer set as it fit her better. the door opened and Ruby and her team entered " hello team RWBY how are you feeling?" He asked " tired, angry, mad at cinder," Ruby said " yes cinder fooled us all, fortunately no harm was done." He said " yea well I'm still pissed that cinder is alive, she nearly killed Pyrrha." Ruby said but Ozpin cut her off " but rest assured we are doing everything in our full power to find her," he said " yea well, whatever, I'm not. we've just been sitting here and doing nothing." Ruby said " which is why we called you here, I want you to go into the emerald forest. There is something in there that is needed." He said Ruby sighed " oh yea pulling all the strings. the puppet master at work." Ruby spat criticizing his actions. Ozpin stood up harshly not liking the way Ruby was behaving " THIS PUPPET MASTER HAS DONE ALL IN HIS POWER TO KEEP THIS WORLD SPINNING! NOW MAYBE IT IS TRUE I MAY BE CRUEL BUT IVE DONE ALL IN MY POWER TO KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE!" He said before gasping he turned to the window. " why did you change Ruby, you had so much good in you before, what happened over that summer of hunting cinder why change?" He asked

Ruby stepped forward her team looked at her in shock, they never expected her to act like this. " I grew up, now I don't believe your cruel, but I am not some plaything, I will not be used as a plaything like my mother was, if I'm going to do something I do at least want to know what consequences my action will hold!" She said Ozpin didn't say anything but looked around the room of the three faces there was one of worry, and two of irritation. He looked up to see a shocked Glynda as well breathed in deep " team RWBY I wish to speak with your leader alone wait for us outside. Glynda if you may." He said Weiss, Blake, Yang p, turned around to see Glynda standing there, they didn't even hear her finally the team looked back at Ozpin they nodded and left Glynda joined them

after the door closed Ozpin turned to Ruby " now I want you to know your mother was not a plaything of mine. I treated her like any other student that entered my school I-" Ruby stood up " KEPT VITAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRIMM FROM THEM, WHAT THERE FIGHTING FOR, WHY THERE DOING IT, WHAT WE DID! TO FORCE THEM TO BECOME THE THING THEY ARE TODAY!" She said Ozpin stepped back " who told you this?" He asked Ruby looked deep into his eyes " two months before the end of the summer I cornered cinder she had no where to go, so she gave info to spare her life-" " AND YOU ALLOWED HER?" Ozpin asked stepping closer but Ruby held her ground " I had no intention of keeping my part of the bargain, after all of the available resources were depleted, well she was of no use to me beside a pain in our end," Ruby said " unfortunately she escaped." Ozpin said making Ruby nodded " I was careless and I had my back turned, she blinded me and she left. But she knows who to fear, and she knows I will kill her." Ruby said " fine, now about your actions during the briefing-" he started " I'm ready to take any and all punishment, I embarrassed you in front of my team showed your weakness, I made the mistake," she said " and that's proves your not my puppet, nor is anything or anyone. You can call your team back in we have mission to hand out. Oh and Ruby a thank you for being honest about that," he said Ruby nodded as she opened the door and brought the team back in.

now they stood in the row Ruby on the far left all the way down to Yang. " now team RWBY I have come across a message from a source, one of there main ambassadors have gone missing, and have been located from inside vale, I have a strange feeling the same ambassador is in the emerald forest I want you to bring him back here unharmed." He said the team nodded " I would suggest you use the plates from the entrance exam. You guys know the way up. There are 5 days until the new students arrive making a total of six days before they enter the forest, make sure your out before them," he said as he shooed them away,

Ruby followed her team out of the office and once she closed the door she was pressed into the wall by both Blake and Weiss with Weiss holding her shoulders " what you did there was Very very reckless." Weiss hissed " it worked out alright." Ruby said but Blake pushed " Ruby, Ozpin could have killed you on the spot for treason." She said " then you know very little. you know oh so little, while you were hiding from the white fang." Ruby said as she looked at Blake with a hard stare. A stare Blake couldn't match, Ruby moved to Weiss " or you while you hid behind your pure white marble Halls of stone in that frozen land." She said before swing to Yang " or you while you sat at home and thought about how the things that you could've done but didn't." She said as she poked Yang in her arm where Adams blade nearly cut her but only his a glancing blow. "While me? I was out there risking my life, hunting the enemy down. With the active people of JN(P)R, THEY WERE KEEPING MY BACK WHILE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN YOU, BUT YOU LEFT ME! You left me to stay at home in your comfort, your even more naive than I thought, more than I was when I came here," she said as she threw Weiss arms off of her and walked away. Weiss and Blake looked shocked but followed as yang looked down ashamed.

( menagerie council chamber)

" so now we sent the agent and has been picked up without a hitch, he's in." Thieal said " good, now we have a nice anchor into the info of the fang, all the movements is known, now we just need to find where cinder is located and her allies are." A dragon in a steel golden informal suit said " true but she is more in dept in this than we thought, she isn't just a pawn she is a catalyst. She needs to be found that you are right danxes " A silver shiny Phoenix said. " but where is she , if she is as dangerous as we believe she is, why aren't we keeping a closer eye on her. We have the power to locate anything on this globe? WHY haven't WE PUSHED FOR ACTION!?" A red dragon in mistral gear said only for the door to open " the reason is if we did we would use so much power we wouldn't be able to hide our existence even the sky cities are running on minimal power. If we boost power some of it will bleed through Gialant." A voice said from the door making everyone turn " well Xanihen this is a surprise I didn't expect a Griffin to freely decide to join us like this, this must be making waves in the council is it not?" Jahiras asked slightly sneered " it is Jahiras, but this intervention was nessesary you were about to reveal our existence and possibly plunge this world into darkness giving the Grimm a perfect time to strike." Qecan said stepping aside and standing next to Xanihen, " with all due respect I think it's a bit late for that after all your ( ßæłäbrd*)leader has-" Jahiras said only to be cut off as Xanihen has his throat in his grasp his free hand had his claw exposed.

" speak about gryphon like that again and I'll sever your head and feed it to my chick! Understand?" He asked Jahiras nodded and Xanihen let go and pulled back. He sighed and realized what he did. " sorry I-" he spoke but Argosh put a hand on his shoulder " it's alright you did what you thought was right. No one would blame you." He said " gryphon would." Xanihen said " gryphon isn't one for violence he is willing to act in order to defend what he thinks is right," phlox said " but that doesn't excuse-" Xanihen said " hey! No ones perfect, we all makes mistakes it's what we do with them is what makes us good or bad." Jahiras said with genuine compassion he stood up and outstretched his hand in a sigh of peace. He smiled. Xanihen nodded and shook hands.

" so does that mean we can trust you to work with us?" Danvot asked " it means that for now until we are sure we are not under threat we will act as a common group for the future, it's time we get rid of this pride that separated our species." Xanihen said Jahiras raised an eyebrow " does gryphon approve of this?" He asked but raised his hands up when he heard growled come from griffins across the room " sorry I meant no offense!" He said Xanihen raised his hand to calm them down. " in actuality gryphon has been pushing for this for a very long time...in fact he's been pushing for more of a republic then an empire." Xanihen said " well we have to thank him for that, he created this council after the Great War, and he could at any time break up this council and put us all back under marshal law, there were plenty of time he could of over the years and haven't." Decot said

" gryphon knows how to be discrete just because he didn't declare marshal law doesn't mean it didn't happen." Xanihen said " griffins have become secretive because of distrust, and gryphon has had a lot of distrust in his life, after all after both his father and mother's murder, and then the betrayal of flayinks leaves one man scared." Daviel said " true, now about the search party?" Zither asked " yes I sent a message to Ozpin he will have one of his best team to look for him." Xanihen said as Jahiras slapped his hand on the table and let out a soft curse. " problem?" Hanna asked " no, it's just that's what I forgot to do, I had it in my head to send the message and I got sidetracked." He said " what happened, to you that got you distracted?" Diavel asked " on the way I saw a shadow and I followed it but I lost sight of it." Jahiras said " what could grab your attention like a shadow, there's nothing but wing lords here. It must have been someone with there wings out you know how they mess with images-." A grey informal Phoenix said " NO!" Jahiras said as he stood up. No no shadow can fool that, it was on four legs." He said

voiced filled the room " four legs but how?" One dragon said " could it be a escaped beast from the lower levels?" Adalf asked " and not sound an alarm somewhere on the way I think not," Corvus said " nevertheless it is a beast and we can't let it leave, we need to secure it before it gets out." A royal Griffin said " WHY DO YOU THINK IT WANTS TO GET OUT MAKIEK!?" A pheonix asked " what do you think it's wanting to do look for tea?" A dragon asked harshly. " well no but it may be trying to just stretch it legs." The Phoenix said " and climb up 20 floors to get near the top REALLY?" Another Griffin asked " it may want air?" The pheonix defended its argument. " the air from the lowest floor is pumped down from the surface directly then brought up meaning the air quality from here is the most diluted, it would make more since to go down." The dragon spoke. " and before you say anything the lights are the same things pumped from the sun." He said

(Sanus)

Gryphon was resting when he heard a movement in the bush. He looked up " we should keep moving we're almost at the spot." A soft voice said " Ruby you said that like six times and each of those times you then said you took a wrong turn admit it Ruby were lost." Weiss said " Weiss we are not lost I just held the map upside down." Ruby defended " six times?" Blake's eyebrow rose in question. " even I admit Ruby your not the best navigator but this is a bit much really-omph!" She was cut out when the party stopped making yang bump into Blake who bumped into Weiss, who bumped into Ruby, who face planted in the clearing. She looked up to see a man looking down at her she only saw his shadow, but she could tell the nails he has grow out and stop at a razor point. And she saw his cape move with out wind.

" MY LORD!" Blake called as she suddenly went to a kneeling position. The man looked up the shadow dissipating to reveal a nice face " BLAKE!" He called as he walked to her and picked her up. " what are you doing here?" He asked " we came to-" she started but Ruby cut her off to explain it more, "we came out here to find someone who was meant to be at a meeting with Ozpin but never showed we were told he was in this area." She said everyone looked at Ruby and the man nodded " well I didn't expect him to keep such an eye on me but okay let's go." He said as he went to pick up his stuff before realizing he had no stuff he turned around. " well let's go!" He said before walking off into the woods, he came and popped his head out of the brush " which way is beacon?" He asked " this way." Ruby sighed and lead her team plus the new guy out of the woods.

the group with Ruby and Weiss up front, gryphon in the middle and Blake and yang holding up the rear. Yang kept looking at gryphon oddly but he would look back and yang would break eye contact, Weiss broke the tense scliance " so who are you or what are you?" She asked " Weiss," Blake hissed scliantly but gryphon heard it " rest Blake, there's no ham of asking questions." He said " as for who I am I'm a ambassador of menagerie here to speak to Ozpin about the attack of beacon as for what I am, I'm a fanuas, I will not go into further details at this time."

Weiss scoffed " and why would a island full of slumbs be a place for such...formality?" Weiss asked Ruby was quick to act " Weiss a beleave we had a talk about how to respect others and there where they come from." Ruby said " Weiss bowed her head " I'm sorry Ruby, I forgot I was not in my father company anymore." She said " it's alright, besides I was hoping to also talk about creating more stable homes on the island." Gryphon said that was a complete lie he had no intention to talk about menagerie not in this company.

yang's curiosity got the better of her as she reached to feel gryphons cape. Blake's hand snapped forward to hold it back but it was to late, hangs hand grazed the left cape making gryphon gasp as he felt the cape, yang was supriesed as she was held and pulled back but that isn't what held her it was the resistance she felt. Both Ruby and Weiss turned around by the noice " are you okay?" Weiss asked " fine just stubbed my toe on a rock." He said as he lifted his bear feet to show a rock in between his toes " how did it get in the shoe?" Weiss asked " more to the point how did you take the shoe off?" Ruby asked " I have my ways." Gryphon grinned " I'm sure you do." Ruby said courisity but didn't push the issue further. Yang looked at Blake who's eyes read ' don't you dare bring up what just happened!' Yang gulped.

gryphon and the team reached the cliff and made it up the side. " showing off beacon tower " here we are beacon!" She said gryphon looked the outer carved wall ( what do you call those?) and saw the last three spaces were rubble. As will as the first three of the insert wall in the inside the tower was held up by three of the four supports and started to Lean like the tower of pica. The main roadway was also basically rubble but there were a few places that were walkable.

" this school has seen better days." Gryphon sighed at the destruction and the reconstruction crews that were working " indeed they are my old friend." They turned around to see the headmaster holding a cup of coffee in his hands " ahh headmaster Ozpin good to see you again." Gryphon said as he shook his hand. " ahh very well my old friend please lets us speak more privately." He said as he guestured to the main tower. Gryphon nodded and walked down the main road he looked back to see Ozpin allow team RWBY back to there room. Gryphon looked to see peach standing near a door.

gryphon walked next to Ozpin and they walked in his office. After Ozpin entered the office next to Glinda who met up with then Ozpin sat down " what the hell gryphon?" Ozpin asked " what do you mean?" Gryphon asked " YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE HERE FOR THE MEETING!" He said " and I'm here now." Gryphon argued as he stood in the middle of the room " 24 hours late." Ozpin said as he moved back around the desk. " but I'm here now." He said " you've taken a big risk by coming out here, with out your escort, I had contact from the Griffin advisor of the council! I've never had that happen, do you know now much Argosh and Phlox were worried for you?" Ozpin asked " enough to get the Griffin council to act on it self is impressive." Gryphon said amused both Ozpin ad Glynda not sharing it only sighed. " if you were found everything that you worked for would be destroyed." Ozpin said " I'm really regretting training you all you seem to do is berate me for all of my messes I've made." He said Ozpin smiled and sat on the desk " well I have to have my fun with my master somehow." He said " gryphon smiled back before Ozpin got serious. " I have a feeling you might have a rebellion on your hands." Ozpin said

" why atlas is a new kingdom, yes the most technologically advance but after the attack I don't think any one will agree with a war on a that didn't do anything wrong." Gryphon said " not a war between country's no, but a war in your own council." Ozpin said " by the griffins are totally loyal to me no one's ever spoken- Jahiras." Gryphon said realization crossing his face, " and a few others but mostly him, which is why you need to stay with your escort, it's why there rules to protect you something that you seem to skip over." Ozpin said " the rules are over protective of me, I can take care of myself, I only ignore the ones that aren't necessary." He said " not necessary for you you think but necessary for everyone else." Ozpin said

" oh and since when were you so suddenly cut and dry about rules and when they should be followed and when not to be?" Gryphon asked Ozpin " WHEN SAID RULES WERE TALKNG ABOUT ONE OF THE GREATEST MANS LIFE I HAVE EVER MET!" Ozpin yelled so loud even Glynda flinched from halfway across the room due to the sound of Ozpin booming voice. But gryphon looked impassive " are you done?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, Ozpin sighed if that couldn't get through to him ( which it didn't) nothing will. " yes now you came to talk about the silver eyed warrior I told you about last year?," he asked " that's correct." Gryphon said as he pulled up a chair. " her name is Ruby rose you may have met her." Ozpin said " girl in red cloak red highlights, kinda like-" gryphon started " summer yes, in fact exact copy facials speaking, she is in fact her daughter." He said gryphon sighed " we've fucked with the rose family enough, there the only living generation of silver eyed warrior's left if she does die before she reproduce's we'll lose our only hook on them the next warrior will be up to chance. No that it isn't already." Gryphon said

" I know I know but unlike summer, cinder knows about her where as of when they found summer it was by chance." Ozpin said " that's the other thing what the hell happened with cinder anyways what did her kingdom do to make that human so mad?" Gryphon asked Ozpin sighed " I don't know but I feel it's not very good, when I confronted her at the festival she said " " she" was right about me, such arrogance," he said " but cinder never mentioned me?" Gryphon asked " no, but that doesn't prove it isn't known, who ever this "she" is they have a lot of knowledge on us and the history, I have an idea who it might be but the more I think about it the more scary it gets." Ozpin said " don't hold out on me child, speak." Gryphon said Ozpin sighed " I'm thinking this " she" is matrum, from the uprising. Some how she's free I started sending the brotherhood to protect the maidens out to try to find and counter her Qrow has-" he spoke " stop." Gryphon rose his hand to cut Ozpin off " its not matrum I would feel it." Gryphon said " but what if?" Ozpin spoke again but gryphon cut him off, " no oz I would physically feel it, when I sealed her away I made sure nothing could free her, and if she did get free I would feel it I would know when she would awake, now I admit I felt the Grimm power growing this past year." Gryphon said

" of its not matrum than who?" Ozpin asked " I'm not sure but it's definitely grimm, remember we never captured all of the Grimmen from the uprising I've heard there have been Random fires in the forests but no cause's to why. I ran across on last night, and I swear it got cold when I was at the edge." Gryphon said " well it-it was in the s-shade you know, p-perhaps a s-swift wind." Ozpin visibly stuttered now, Glynda was at a loss for words as she watched the headmaster start to break down by what the sixteen year old said. Gryphon shook his head " I'm sorry." Gryphon said he turned to Glynda who was deathly pale " please leave us miss goodwitch, and please say nothing about this." Gryphon said " I'm sorry but I cann-" she was cut off " Glynda...please." Ozpin said a tint high, Glynda nodded and left.

Gryphon stood up and started for an embrace " come here." Gryphon said as Ozpin embrace the hug and cried into Gryphon's shoulder " I'm sorry I'm sorry master I-" Ozpin said but was shushed by gryphon " it's alright, one crying man won't bring the end of the world, as long as happiness is around you, that's enough to counter balance it." Gryphon said Ozpin stopped crying " better?" Gryphon asked Ozpin nodded and coughed before speaking in his normal voice " I better bring back Glynda before she loses composer." He said as gryphon took a seat.

Ozpin came back and he sat behind his desk cool as snow now. Glynda had to ask " are the grimmen really that scary." She asked " yes." Ozpin said not sure if he could handle another word, " how?" Glynda asked as she never faced them, Ozpin faced them in the great uprising. But that was it. " think of humanity, how it deals with its problems." Gryphon said " yea." Glynda said as she named how, " radical abuse, beating, bullying, with faunas some times slave drivers." She said " the Grimmen are just like humans in those regards but there Grimm." Gryphon said making Glynda freeze up. Ozpin spoke on a lighter note

" fortunately the Grimmen were created to be the perfect fighter, so they can't really command on there own, especially if they are in a group as there all the same rank, no one can give or take an order." Ozpin said before gryphon rained on there paradise " but any pawn can become a queen and Grimm grow more powerful with age, as of the ones that are unaccounted for now they might be able to control a battalion of Grimm each." Gryphon said " how many were unaccounted for?" Ozpin asked " 29." Gryphon said " t-twenty nine full battalions of Grimm holy-" Ozpin gasped but Glynda spoke " what do you mean battalion?" She asked Gryphon sighed " grimmen are like commander's to any animal like Grimm near there vicinity and are automatically transferred to there command. And they work like squad leaders," he said Glynda nodded.

but that's not the worst part, during the uprising, some grimmen had names they were that powerful, how many of those were there and now many are accounted for?" Ozpin asked " well there's, Kain, Donbar, Kalkis (kāll kist), oh! Werkzt." Are unaccounted for out of the twelve and are not in with the 29 Grimmen." Gryphon said

" shit" Ozpin said " just one of them is enough to cause major concern but four with 29 battalions of Grimm." He said " yea and what's worse, is that those grimmen can revert into there masks for " safe keeping"" gryphon put in air quote's " damn so what's our next move Ozpin?" Glynda asked gryphon looked at the headmistress of Beacon. " first I need to contact menagerie and tell them Gryphon is safe, then bring peach here. I think she would like to see this." Ozpin said only to be intrupped from the shadows " no need im already here." The person stepped out to reveal it to be peach. And like her name sake said she had a peach colored shirt, and matching shoes, she wore brown pants but only to break the total color movement. She also had a towel like cape on her back. She has dirty blond hair ( dye).

" ahh miss peach how nice to see you-." Gryphon said " cut it!" She snapped at gryphon she stomped forward. And pointed to gryphon so her finger was almost touching his nose. " YOU STUBBORN-IRRATIONAL BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU? WE TRUST YOU TO NOT GO VARNISHING OFF THE MAP OR IF YOU DO TELL US WHEN AND WHY?!" She yelled " I'm sorry peach, I really am but I couldn't this time." Gryphon said sadly " GOD DAMN YOU ITS ALWAYS LIKE THAT WITH YOU COUDNT THIS TIME, COUDNT LAST TIME, WHY! WHY! WHY!?" She yelled as she threw her self at a pillar in Ozpin office. She stood up and panted after calming down she spoke, " I'm going...to contact...menagerie...talk...to you...later..." she said as she left, Ozpin sipped a cup of coffee.

" well gryphon we need a place to put you, but we can really shove you in the new class." Ozpin said " yea I need to watch Ruby she can't die yet if I'm in a different class I can't do that." Gryphon said " you could be a transfer student from menagerie, that is if...you have a huntsmen school?." Glynda said " it is easy to fake enough, most people there are secretive and most buildings are multi purpose anyhow." Gryphon shrugged. " alright then it's settled your from menagerie who transfered for a better curriculum and as such you will be tacked on until the rest of your team arrives." Ozpin said in his headmaster voice "I'm guessing that will be phlox and Argosh?" Gryphon asked " do you have any better ideas?" Ozpin asked " no I'm just asking, thank you headmaster." Gryphon bowed. But oz held his hand " please if anything I'm the student, I'm glad to have the extra assistance. I'll give peach the word to send phlox and Argosh here." Ozpin said standing up " knowing them once they heard the word I'm here and safe there sent on there way." Gryphon said shrugging before following Ozpin to where he will be living for the next few days. Until the rest of his "team" gets here.

( flying over the waters connecting Amina to Sanus,) a lone pheonix faunas flew gently in the breezes " come on phlox get there faster!" A voice said the phlox looked behind him " settle down Argosh it's not like gryphon's going to run alone with out us." He said the dragon sitting crosslegged, arms crossed and eyes closed on the square of the Phoenix's back sighed " yea but I still don't like how gryphon is alone, no matter who he's with." Argosh said.

Argosh wore a lot of black and grey. He had a sweatshirt hoodie of solid grey with black jeans, on his side was a black simple (England style) broadsword. It didn't shift but that's all Argosh needed. His shoes were black too. This was his combat gear/ war outfit.

phlox had a black and red style he usually wore a red sweatshirt that looked like it fused into an ash cloak in the back which were his pair of wings, he has a cool colored pair of pants that when he walked the movement would look like there was fire on it. When in face it was a shifting of colored fabrics, the bottom of the cloak/ wings were red tipped. His shoes were ash as well.

" hey at least he'll be with a team that is responsible so there's no way he can get in trouble." Phlox said shrugging his shoulder as they flew off.

Ozpin walked the halls of school, there was rubble In the halls from some of the explosion's which shook it last year. There were a few doorways which had no doors because they were shattered. " nice skylines." Gryphon said looking up at the open hole. " yea I might keep it, you know you could've come to help us." Ozpin said " I couldn't, I would've only made things worse. And at the forefront of the attack was the white fang. I can't go agents my own people." Gryphon said " there not your people anymore they've bent to monsters." Ozpin argued , "maybe so, but unless I get everyone's support I can't." He said before stopping in front of a dorm that had a door, " the students dorms that are now nessessary to keep active were repaired first. This was one of the first ones." Ozpin said " hold on before you spoke to me about the silver eyed warrior, you said she's a second year now, why didn't you contact me when you first saw her?" Gryphon asked " I had to be sure she wasn't a trick. And after her eye flare. Well it was proven." Ozpin said alright let's go." Gryphon said as he gestured towards the door and Ozpin opened it and stepped in.
