I'm back! A scene took too long for me to write but its here. Time for the mysterious person finally explains himself but how long. I do not own RWBY.

I look at the makeshift barricade that is around the corner of the cave. "I can't believe I found you." Said the person on the other side of the barricade. "Who are you and why are you in this nest of Grimm?" I ask the man but I got a face of shock.

"What do you mean that you don't remember me? We were friends, I think." He said to me and he continues, "It's Mike from the project. You know, your second-in-command?" I only shake my head.

"Mike, was it? I have no idea who you are, as for I have no memory past a few weeks ago." I tell him. He looks at me trying to come up with an answer that I may understand. "If I'm thinking right, you had a DTM on research back home." He says, I only nod as an answer and it tells him to go on.

"One of the side effects that were very rare was memory loss. But I wouldn't know how to get those memories back yet, I me-" He was saying but got cut off by a low growl. It was a Beowolf that was a late comer, but it was a Minor. It lunged at Mike before either of us can blink. It cut Mike's leg but that was as far as it got before I beheaded it with precision of a scalpel.

The cut wasn't that deep but it needed stitches. 'Why didn't his aura protect him, but he said that he knew me while I worked on that project.' I clean and patched up his wound with a basic first-aid kit I always carry with me, but the stitches would wait. I finished it up and he had a scared look in his eye.

"You're not him, are you? The person I'm looking for never looked into violence for problem solving. You look like him but you maybe you're not him. Take me to safety so I can start to heal this cut and I can talk to whoever is in charge." Mike tells me with a sad look.

I help him up and start to walk out of the cave. "You said that I look like this person you are looking for, so tell me something that he may only know." I tell Mike and he looks at me with a calculating look. "Alright. But only because you asked." He takes a deep breath. "The research that we were doing was to cross dimensions to other worlds if they existed. One was on a show that the head of research watched while taking breaks. I forgot the name but it started with an r."

"Well, here's a twist for you. I may be the person you are looking for but I have no memory of anything past 1 to 3 weeks. Flashbacks come in but not anything with research. Any questions before I call our ride?" I tell Mike. He only looks at me with wide eyes and shakes his head. I call Ozpin.

"Hello?" I hear him ask. "Its Rune sir, mission complete and I need a bullhead here faster than usual." "Interesting, how fast are we talking, Rune?" "Medical bullhead fast sir. If that is possible." "Oh, are you hurt Rune?" "Not me sir, one civie was in the cave where the nest was. I don't know how but he was there." "Interesting. Alright, it will be there in a minute. Ozpin out."

Mike looks at me with questioning eyes of a strategist. "You said your name was Rune? Curious if I may say." He says. I look at him. "How is it curious? It was chosen by me because I don't know my real name. From information that has been provided to me, I don't think I will either." I tell him. I was about to continue but the bullhead showed up.

The bullhead lands and medical personal came out and checked us out. Nothing was on me but a few bruises but nothing to have them sent out. Mike on the other hand had that cut on his leg that I fixed up in till professionals came in to fix it, malnutrition, and dehydration.

The pilot of the bullhead asked were to go and I told him to go to Beacon. We arrive by the hospital wing of the school to find Ozpin next to the landing pad. Mike sees Ozpin with a curious eye, he looked like he was going to ask a question but was carted off before he spoke.

Ozpin walks up beside me and we start to walk to the room were Mike was sent to. "Who is that Rune?" Ozpin asks me. "I don't know sir, but he seemed to know a bit about me. No name, but he confirmed something though." I tell him. "Interesting. Is he like you with the whole part of being not of Remnant?" Ozpin asks and I only nod as a response. "But the question remains, is he friend or foe?" Ozpin asks me.

"Honestly sir, I have no idea. But I know someone who may." I tell Ozpin. He raises an eyebrow. "And who might that be Rune?" He asks. "Sapphire." I tell him. "Are you sure? Yes she may be a spirit trapped on this world but how would she know?" Ozpin asks me looking for a thought out answer.

"You can call it a gut feeling, but Sapphire can sense the intentions of a person by their aura even if they don't have one." I say as we reach Mike's room. "Well I can make arrangements for that, but let's ask questions to this person." Ozpin says as we open the door. Mike is laying on the bed looking around trying to figure out what is going on. He sees us and stops looking around.

He looks at me then to Ozpin. I break the ice of the room. "This is going to take a few more times unless I got it right, but you said your name was Mike?" I ask and he nods. "Ok, at least I got the name right. But moving on to business. This is Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon academy." I say and the last part I pointed at Ozpin.

I continue, "You say that you know me from being second in command of a project relating to a device to travel dimensions. Is that true, and you can ask questions." Mike looks at me before taking a breath. "Yes and I do have questions." He pauses. "Where are we and how do you know so much about my predicament?" I look at him and answer his question but Ozpin steps in.

"Mike was it?" Ozpin asked and Mike nodded again but with a bit of frustration. "Rune here was the same case as you about knowing where he was and something that you have that he doesn't, his memories. Rune came in with no memory but bits and pieces while you came in with what it looks like most if not all your memory. Is that true?" Ozpin asks and Mike nods again.

"How much memory do you know and how much do you know of Rune?" Ozpin says and he awaits for an answer from Mike. Before Mike starts talking, Sapphire floats in. Mike gets pale but calms down enough to talk. "W-who are you?" Mike asks Sapphire. I notice one thing on Sapphire that I haven't seen before. She was giving a look that gives a Deathstalker chills.

"What is he doing here? Another person from another dimension it looks like, but something is off about him." Sapphire says with the same venom with her look. Before she continues to talk, I step in. "Sapphire calm down, what is it." "He is from the same dimension from where you came from but he has blood on his hands. Two, I can't sense a soul on him. He's as bad as a Grimm." "How so on both questions, Sapphire?" "He has the same aura as location somewhere that is not on Remnant. Two. He is a hollow husk, no soul and blood on his hands."

"Ho-how are you talking t-to each other?" A scared Mike asks. "Well Sapphire, it looks like you can add another person to the list of people you have scared senseless." I say in a humorous tone. She only shrugs. But attention gets directed to Mike who is shaking.

"Ok Mike, you wanted answers and here they are. As Sapphire said, I'm not of this world. But I have a question for you, what does Sapphire mean when she said you had blood on your hands?" I ask Mike with a serious look. He has calmed down enough to stop shaking. "You said her name was Sapphire?" He asks and I nod.

"Ok, what she meant was that the project took a life for someone to cross over once." Mike said. "I didn't want to know that fact, but when the HD disappeared in front of me when I was looking for him, I knew something was up. But when I figured it out, the building exploded with bombs someone planted." Mike finished. I look at him then to the other two in the room.

"If you think he has been honest, bring him the device that you came with and show him the data logs that it has. Also Rune, don't reveal anything to both teams RWBY and JNPR yet." Ozpin said while sipping on his coffee. Sapphire just nodded to me. "Alright, I'll be right back with it then." I say as I turn to walk out.

I walk to my room without any interference of the others. I think it's due to the fact of them being in class, I think. I walk around my room to search for my device. 'Got to form the habit of calling it a phone.' I make a mental note as I find it. It's powered off for the moment, I always power it down so I don't drain whatever makes it run.

I make it back without a problem. I open the door to the group of three sitting down discussing something that wasn't related to me or the world. More or less on how he ended up in the cave and survived by the sound of the ending. They look at me as I walk in and I sit down along them.

"Ok, now that I'm back. I can show you that I'm the person you are looking for." I tell Mike. The other 2 stayed quiet for me to explain. I continue. "I have no idea where this knowledge comes from but I will say that you may not like the results of these videos. Any questions?" I ask Mike. He shakes his head in response and this is a gesture to show the videos.

We watch the first one in complete silence, that was in till the end of the video. "How did you break the encryption codes on it? Protocol dictates if said codes are broken that the video is deleted before it can be viewed." Mike says with shock in his voice. "Apparently the code was unlocked before even I viewed it, but to answer your question directly. There was no lock on it." I answer Mike. "How? But the only one with the codes for that viewing was the director him… self…" Mike trailed off as he seen who I really was. He didn't say anything else so I started the last video.

The last video played with the same silence. But when Mike saw who planted the charges he went ghost white. "Why would you do that?! You know how many people were killed because of it?" He asked, a treating tone in his voice.

"Mike, understand my point of view. If you were a head of a project that didn't want anything bad to happen to anyone else, then you would have done the same thing. Now I didn't think if anyone got out, but that device had to be erased from history before it even made history." I tell him with the same tone. Mike looks at me with a hurt look.

"But why? The person I knew didn't have a bone in his body to hurt anybody. No one but me made it out but that is due to the fact of me being at the entrance when the charges blew." Mike said. "Well, on the sad but bright side, no one on that world will make the device again. What happened to the building anyway Mike?" I say to Mike with a sad but concerned voice.

"The building blinked out of existence with a large crater, this is due to the fact of the reactor powering the building." Mike said to me. "Well, if my calculations where correct. The building blinked out that realm and got put into the center of another sun." I say with a look from all three members in the room, even though 2 were just listening.

"What? Remember I have memories trickle in from time to time. Talking to Mike caused more to come in with what I had planned to do to the building if something like what happened to occur." I say with Ozpin and Sapphire knowing what I meant with the memory thing. Mike on the other hand, he looked like he wanted to run if he could. "Mike, I have told you about my memory issue before. I have memories trickle in from time to time that will reveal information on who I was, what I did, and what plans was tied to those things I did. But to an extent on many things that are shown to me. Questions?" I tell Mike trying to get him to understand.

"Memory issues? Like you have told me before, you don't remember anything past a few weeks with information coming in slowly. Am I right so far?" Mike asks. I nod in response. "It seems that some outside force is-" Mike was saying before something crashed in the window and started to attack.

Ozpin froze at the site of it, and when he freezes up you know it's bad. The humanoid looking Grimm somehow snuck into the school and got in this room. Its attention was on Mike for some reason. "I'll get its attention and pull it away from the school Ozpin. Make sure it doesn't do anything to the school as I pull it away." Ozpin nods and I grab a needle and throw it like a throwing knife at it. It hits its eye and it turns to attack whoever did that. But instead of attacking, it grabbed Mike and ran out of the window.

I jump out of the window it crashed in and chased it to the Forest of Forever Fall. It ran back to the nest I found Mike in to my surprise because I thought it was further than it was. But it ran in the cave and the sight sickened my stomach. Remains of people it chased and killed, and I think Mike was next.

But it wasn't the end of it, it disappeared but I continued to run down the hall to figure out I wasn't gaining any ground. Some other forces were at work to help that Grimm get… what was his name again? I turned around to confirm my suspicions. I was 5 feet in the cave, just in the cave enough to make the endless hallway. I found a note that was written in blood and addressed to me on a rock.

"Rune, you cannot enter this cave right now or ever. But Mike had to be taken out of the picture, he knew too much and he killed people to power the machine. He no longer exists in this realm or any realm but the original realm. This cave was a FOB for the research team to make another device, but it was. He lied to you and your allies to get you back on. Now you can't enter or anyone else because as soon as you leave this cave will blink out, if you are in here longer than 5 minutes it will move you out then blink out. But when you finish this note, everyone's memory of this cave, Mike, and note will be wiped completely and replaced with different memories. It must be done so you don't die from your head from exploding, literally. Now goodbye for now Rune. P.S.: That Grimm is dead too so you don't have to worry about it. Safe travels."

And like that I'm outside by a cliff for what? My mind searches itself to find out but no answer except to kill a Grimm I chased and I did.

I walk back to the school to the room where I chased the Grimm away after it broke into the school, it's a hospital room. 'Why a hospital room for? And for whom?' I think as I walk into the room. The patient list for that room shows that it is empty. Ozpin is in the waiting room just as confused and Sapphire is close with the same look.

"Did you get the Grimm, Rune?" Ozpin asks. "Yes sir. I chased it to a cliff side on the other side of the Forest of Forever Fall." I tell him. He has a look of astonishment on his face. "That was very brave of you Rune. Mimics are a very rare and dangerous type of Grimm. While they are blind, it usually takes 3 teams of trained huntsmen and huntresses to kill just one and you killed one by yourself. How did you kill it anyways?" Ozpin asks.

"Phase 3 like the Nevermore during my Initiation. Held the sound and confused it so I can decapitate it. I would have its head but it disappears too. Why were we in that room anyways?" I ask. "Talking about how to move your teammates in the new room." Ozpin says. 'That doesn't sound like something to talk about in a hospital room that should be in his office.' I think to myself but shrug it off.

"If that is all Professor, may I take my leave?" I ask. Ozpin nods and Sapphire disappears. I look at the clock. 4pm. I walk by Doctor Oobleck's classroom to see a class ending. I see two members of teams RWBY and JNPR along with Velvet and Cardin. 'Didn't Oobleck already have a class today that had everyone in it?' I think to myself. I see those guys walk out minus Jaune and Cardin. That can't be good. I see Pyrrha waiting outside for some reason.

"Hey Pyrrha, who are you waiting for?" I ask. "Jaune, he was need for something after class by Oobleck." She says. "I take it that Cardin had the same fate?" I ask and she nods. "Well, I think Cardin deserves it. Jaune, not so much. What was you going over anyways?" I say to Pyrrha. "The turning point of the Faunas War. The battle of Fort Castle." Pyrrha says to me.

'Fort Castle? Well… I've heard worse before.' I think to myself before talking again. "Well, since you're out here, I'll wait too." Pyrrha give me a look of 'No need to do that.' "Really? I had something planned but I think you can come too." Pyrrha said and this time I was the one to give a look.

"I was going to ask but I'll wait till Jaune comes out." I say and Pyrrha nods in agreement. Not a couple of minutes later the duo came out along with a blur from Doctor Oobleck. Cardin doesn't notices us and shoves Jaune down with a laugh. We both go over to his side. "You know, I'll really break his legs." Pyrrha says. Jaune just sighs and you can see a lightbulb go off in Pyrrha's head. "I have an idea. Here, come with me!" She says and grabs Jaune to drag him off to who knows where.

I follow them and we arrive on the rooftop. I go to the same ledge and sit down with my feet dangling. The two teammate start talking to each other. "Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a hard time right now. But I'm not that depressed. I could always be a farmer or something." Jaune says looking around. I see what he is talking about and so does Pyrrha. Pulling him away from the edge. "No! That's not why I brought you up here." After a second pause I step in before they could talk any further. "Before you guys talk, we have someone listening in as well." I say pointing my finger down to Cardin. He runs off faster than Ruby on a sugar rush. "Ok, continue." I tell them meaning the coast is clear.

"Jaune, I know you're having a difficult time in class. And that you are not the strongest of fighters, so I want to help you." Pyrrha says. "W-what?" Is all Jaune could muster in saying. "We can train up here after class where no one can bother us."

"Y-you think I need help?" Jaune ask. "N-no! No. That's not what I meant." Pyrrha says. "That's what you just said." Jaune says. A slight pause before the duo starts again. "Jaune, everyone needs a little push from time to time. It doesn't make you different from the rest of us. You made it to Beacon, it speaks volumes of what you are capable of." Pyrrha says. The way Jaune is shuffling around makes me think something is up.

He looks down. "You're wrong. I don't belong here." Pyrrha tries to correct him. "That's at terrible thing to say, of course you do." Jaune cuts in with a bit of anger in his voice. "No I don't!" A slight pause tells me something isn't right. "I really wasn't accepted into Beacon." Another pause. "Wh-what do you mean?" Pyrrha asks.

"I mean I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests, I didn't earn my spot in this academy. I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts and I lied." Jaune said while concerning Pyrrha and I. "What? But why-" Pyrrha asks but Jaune cuts her off. "Cause this is what I wanted to always be! My father, grandfather, and his father before him were all warriors. They were all heroes, I wanted to be one too. I was never good enough."

I would intervene but this is between Pyrrha and Jaune. "Then let me help you." Pyrrha says with concern in her voice. "I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero!" Jaune says almost shouting. "Jaune, I-" Pyrrha is all she could get out before Jaune continued his rant.

"I'm tired of being the lovable idiot being stuck in the tree while his friend fight for their lives, don't you understand? If I can't do this on my own, what good am I?" Jaune says as he finishes up his rant. Pyrrha tries to comfort him but he shrugs it off. "Just… leave me alone, OK?" Jaune finished up. Pyrrha looks hurt. "If you think that is best." She said before walking off.

I finally cut in before I walk off. "Bad move Jaune, bad move. She was trying to help, but I know you will sort things out without me cutting in. Goodnight." I say to him waving. I arrive at my room waiting for Jaune. I see him looking through his door with a said look.

"Hey Jaune! Long time, no see. Did you lock yourself out again?" Ruby asked. "Ahh… Nope! Got it." Jaune said while pulling out his scroll. "So… Where have you been lately?" Ruby asks. "I ah… I messed up. I did something I shouldn't have done and now Cardin's got me on a leash and Pyrrha won't talk to me. I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea." Jaune said before sliding down the door. "I'm a failure." He finished up while looking down.

"Nope!" Ruby said while empathizing the p. "Nope?" Jaune asked. "Nope. You're a leader now Jaune, you're not allowed to be a failure." Ruby said. I step in this conversation. "Jaune, whether or not if you are a failure now doesn't excuse you from trying to improve. I may not be a leader like you or Ruby but if I was one I would do that. Improve on what I have and not on what I have now is what I would do." I say to Jaune.

"Yea! Well night guys." Ruby said as she opened her door. As soon as she was clear Jaune's scroll went off with a message from Cardin. He didn't want to open it with me being there so I walked into my room and started to clean my weapons. Light and Shadow are first. With Shadow out I do the usual cleaning, and when I was done I mecha-shifted it back to Light.

Light's maintenance is a lot easier than Shadow's due to the fact it being a sword than a gun. Sharpening and cleaning the blade is done quicker than cleaning a gun but I still have my sidearm to deal with. It didn't get used so cleaning it was a snap. After all that was done I climbed in bed for the field trip tomorrow.

Well that was a thing. But what would happen if outside forces where in play (which they are). Leave a review for input for me to improve and answer any questions you may have. Follow and favorite for more.
