That night Oswald slept with in the Staff dorms and this time Sora made sure to position his sleeping bag in the middle of the dorm room, not wanting to make the same mistake twice and risk having one of the girls land on him again. He had a peaceful sleep thinking about how he was confident that he could deal with whatever Maleficent plans to do this time.

The next morning Sora was with the other members of the temporality renamed Team RWBYS as Ruby and Yang's father came by the academy to pick up Zwei. The man waved to his daughters while looking back to give a glare to Sora's direction, "Don't worry about dad, he is just not too okay with the idea of boys being close to us." Yang laughed at Sora's worried look as Ruby just groaned

Weiss pointed to the left of them and saw Professor Goodwitch coming up to them, "Sorry but Ozpin wants to have a word with you five before you set off to do that investigation of yours." Professor Goodwitch said as they followed the teacher. As they passed they saw several of the students who watched Sora's fight against the Phantom Blot come up to congratulate him.

"He is only here for a few days and already he is the big man on campus..." Jaune commented with a hint of jealousy as Team JNPR came up to congratulate Sora as well. Team CFVY came up to look at Sora with surprise, on account of them having been knocked out by the Phantom Blot when it happened they had to get the story from other students and had found it hard to believe a younger kid was able to take on a creature that took out an experienced team like themselves.

"I wish I was able to see you in action yesterday Sora but maybe we can spar sometime." Velvet told them (with Coco shouting that if Sora saw the Phantom Blot again, to give it a hit for them and tell them that they wanted payback if they ever crossed paths again) as they made their way to where Ozpin was but it seemed like was already busy talking with someone who was flanked by robots known as the Atlesian Knight-200. Sora looked to Ruby who seemed to recognise who the man was.

"James Ironwood, a headmaster of an academy in another kingdom but he is also a military general." Professor Goodwitch explained for Sora deciding that it would context to Sora about the conversation she had a feeling that they were having right now. Team RWBYS stood to listen to the conversation.

"Please old friend, even you must see how seriously we should take this!" Ironwood was telling Ozpin in an annoyed agitated tone of voice as he was walking in a circle. "Your academy was attacked by someone who had the power to call forward a blob creature unlike any Grimm that Remnant has ever seen before. I was right about needing more security for the tournament coming forward and I know I am right now. It was bad enough sending four first years to a place beyond their skill level but now you want to send those same kids to take care of it along with a couple of strangers who you have only known form a couple of days."

When Ironwood mentioned four first years, Sora saw the four girls were looking nervous at that which allowed Sora to guess that it was them he was talking about. "It is a threat that Sora here has faced before and I trust him to know what to do against it, he was able to deal with the creature while others could not." Ruby then punched Sora on the arm playfully beaming at what Ozpin was saying about Sora.

"I am sure he is a fine young lad and I am sure his performance against that creature was most impressive..." Ironwood said looking to see Sora right there "however we cannot leave the saftey of the people in people this young and inexperienced, especially against an enemy we know nothing about..." Sora then decided to summon the Kingdom Key to get their attention.

"Well Oswald told me that the information he got was that the Phantom Blot was created from leaked energy of the Heartless, beings like the Grimm but they have managed to consume worlds before I managed to restore them. I have fought Maleficent and the Heartless before; I had even killed Maleficent in her dragon form before she came back." Sora said with all eyes falling on him and Weiss freezing at the bit when Sora mentioned Maleficent having a dragon form.

"Well it seems the enemy maybe unknown to you but is quite known to Sora here, he seems to have much experience with them as well." Ozpin said with a smile as Ironwood just looked dumbfounded. "Yen Sid and Oswald asked me to tell you that they are trying to figure out how to track where Maleficent is now, I guess so you will be going with Team RWBY to investigate why Maleficent came here." After Ozpin finished Ironwood looked like he still wanted to argue on the matter.

"If it makes you feel any better about this, you can come with us and bring your robots with you." Sora offered and Ironwood seemed a little bit better about this idea. "You can be our supervisor or something and if you feel it would need to come to it, you can send for your army." Sora said thinking it might elevate his fears on the matter. Ironwood seemed to accept this but still thought his plan of just sending an entire army at once to deal with this Maleficent woman was a better plan.

"Wow Sora did not seem too worried about dealing with a military official, much different form how scared i get dealing with authority figures. Wait he said Ironwood can come with us... is Sora trying to steal my job as leader?" Ruby thought in her head and Yang laughed when she saw Ruby looking at Sora thinking at her sister might be developing a crush.

I think the next chapter will be much longer still; I wanted to see if I can use Ruby and Yang's dad in this story but without him having a proper appearance yet (besides him being mentioned and the slight cameo in the latest volume) I decided to just give him a brief role here. Also as I was writing the last chapter, I thought this chapter would be them going on the investigation until I realised that Ironwood after hearing about the Phantom Blot attacking the school would make a deal about it. One more thing about last chapter: I forgot to say this but in the brief bit of Team CFVY taking part in the fight (originally I wanted them to last longer before Sora had to step in) you can imagine Caffeine by Jeff Williams playing.
