Alright, double upload! So, I have a question to ask. What are your opinions of the character of Frost? Do you like her, do you not like her, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Anywho, it's time for the last part of the 'Rebirth' trilogy of chapters. So, let's get on with the show!
[RAAM P.O.V.]
I was extremely out of it, but I could barely recognize my dad's voice.
"It's astounding Mr. Xiao Long." I could hear one of the doctors say to dad.
"What is, that my own son nearly fucking died!?" Dad said, clearly mad.
"No, in fact, it's about your son's Aura." The doctor said.
"What about his Aura..." Dad said, as I slowly drifted back off to sleep.
"Wakey-wakey RAAM. Time to get up." Said a voice, distinctly female.
I would later awaken in the hospital room, but it looked, different. Almost, ethereal.
"Uhh... Where, where am I?" I ask, groggily, my eyes slowly opening to the sight of a woman.
"M-mommy?" I ask, pretty frightened.
"Oh, you think I'm..." The woman said, her face morphing into one of understanding, "Sorry kid, I ain't Summer."
"O-oh, okay. Who are you?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"You don't remember?" The woman asked, and I shook my head no.
"Huh, well, maybe this will help." She said, passing a glass of water to me.
I look at the glass of water confused.
"Well, go ahead, drink up." The woman said.
I shrug, and drink the glass of water. And then, a small headache began to form. And afterwords, a series of images appear before me. Of a system of tunnels, of cities being destroyed, of a tall, and intimidating figure, surrounded by a swarm of bat-like creatures, but not Grimm. And then, my mind clicked.
"F-Frost?" I ask, some of my memories returning.
"Yes! I knew that would work!" Frost said, clapping her hands in joy.
"Where, where am I?" I ask.
"A hospital in the city of Vale." Frost replied.
"Vale? How did I get to Vale?" I ask.
"You can thank your Uncle Qrow for that." Frost said, "He took care of an Alpha Beowolf before it could turn you and your sisters into puppy chow." Frost continued.
"A-an Alpha Beowolf?" I ask, kind of startled.
"Yep. Although, you took care of most of the Beowolves." Frost replied.
"W-wait, how did I kill a bunch of Beowolves by myself?" I ask, surprised.
"Well, you unlocked your Semblance." Frost said, a small smile forming on her face.
"Semblance?" I ask, not knowing what she was talking about.
"An ability unique to a Huntsman or Huntress. And in this case, your Semblance allows you to..." Frost said, motioning for me to continue.
"To control the Kryll?" I ask, more guessing than anything.
"Bingo!" Frost said happily.
"Alright, so what should I do?" I ask.
"Well, do you want to make your life better?" Frost asked.
"Yep." I replied.
"So, what should you do?" Frost asked again.
"Become a Huntsman?" I replied with a question.
"On the nose." Frost said, "Whoops! Your waking up, I'll be watching you RAAM. Good luck." Frost finished, as I closed my eyes again. This time, opening them to see my dad getting into an argument with the doctor.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IF MY SON BECOMES A HUNTSMAN!?" Dad asked/shouted.
"D-dad?" I asked, getting both my dad, and the doctor's attention.
"RAAM! I'm so glad you're alright!" Dad said, grabbing me into a hug, crying.
"RAAM!" I heard Yang and Ruby say, running into the room.
"D-dad, let g-go. I c-can't breathe." I said.
"Whoops, sorry." Dad said, sheepishly.
"Dad, I have something I want to say." I said.
"Sure, what is it RAAM?" Dad asked.
"I, I want to become a Huntsman." I said.
"Wait, what?" Dad asked, clearly not expecting that.
"I said, I want to become a Huntsman." I said, more confidence showing.
"No. Absolutely not." Dad said.
"But dad-" I started to say before he interrupted me.
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I can't lose you the way I lost your mother, like I lost Summer." Dad said, "So under no circumstances, are you to become a Huntsman."
"But if my Semblance hadn't unlocked, Ruby, Yang, and I would've been dead." I said, letting a tad bit of anger seep through. "So, I'll say it again, I'm going to become a Huntsman, and I'm going to help people." I concluded, more determination in my voice.
"Wait, what do you mean your Semblance unlocked?" Dad asked, confusion evident.
"Oh sweet Monty Oum above Tai, what do you think it means? RAAM's Semblance unlocked, and he took out most of a pack of Beowolves by himself." I heard Uncle Qrow say.
'R-really?" Dad asked.
"Yeah! It was super cool!" Yang replied.
"RAAM's the bestest big brother!" Ruby said.
"I'm your only brother Ruby." I said, rolling my eyes with a smile.
"That's why you're the bestest!" Ruby said, a huge smile on her face.
"What exactly can RAAM do?" Dad asked, snapping our attention back to him.
"He could, and I'm not kidding here Tai, control the Kryll." Uncle Qrow said.
"Wait, what? But that's impossible." Dad said.
"You would think that, but from what Qrow has described seems perfectly legitimate." Said a new voice, male.
In the hospital room, walked in a man, dressed in an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest a green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long dark-green pants. On his face were shaded glass spectacles and a small cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck.
"Oz, what are you talking about?" Dad asked, 'Oz'.
"What I'm talking about Tai, is that young RAAM here has an amazing amount of Aura within his body." Oz said, drinking from his mug, "So, if he were to become a Huntsman, with his Aura level, RAAM would probably become one of the most powerful Huntsmen in the history of Remnant." Oz finished, walking towards me.
"Hello young man, do you know who I am?" Oz asked me.
"No, I'm afraid I don't sir." I replied, shaking my head.
"My name's Professor Ozpin. I'm the headmaster of Beacon Academy. A school that trains future Huntsmen and Huntresses." Ozpin said, sitting down in the chair next to my bed, "So, if I'm understanding the situation correctly, you want to become a Huntsman?" Ozpin asked, taking another sip from his mug.
"Y-yes sir." I replied.
"That's good to hear. Now, Why exactly would you want to be a Huntsman?" Ozpin asked.
"I-I want to become a Huntsman, to help people, and to find answers. Answers to why my mother left dad, Yang and I." I said, determination in my voice.
"That, is exactly what I wanted to hear." Ozpin said, getting up and leaving the room, "I hope to see you at Beacon one day, Mr. Branwen." Ozpin said as he closed the door.
"Well, if you want to become a Huntsman RAAM, who am I to stop you?" Dad said, turning to Uncle Qrow, "But you're going to train him, got it?"
"Don't worry Tai, he'll be fine. I'll make sure he becomes a Huntsman." Uncle Qrow said.
"I want to become a Huntress." Yang said.
"Alright, but I'm training you myself young lady." Dad said.
"Yes!" Yang said, pumping her fist.
'It's time to right some wrongs.' I thought, determined to start my journey as a Huntsman...
I wanted to include a scene involving a tournament, but I feel like this chapter was long enough as it was. But yeah, Ozpin got an introduction. And RAAM has a large reservoir of Aura. I mean, because why wouldn't he? Anyway, the next chapter will be the tournament that was planned to be included. Anyway, don't forget to read and review, and until next time, this is Tronmaster, signing off!
