Is it good to slap down another chapter. Sorry for the delay, school is taking up a large portion of my time as well as work with blackout period coming in and FTC Robotics competitions just around the corner and FRC build season just around the corner. Yet I will do my best, everyone I hope will enjoy this next chapter.

Chapter IX

Ironwood paced back and forth within the viewing area near the small closet cell that held Roman Torchwick. Why? Why would Ozpin withhold information of that magnitude from them like that? As far as they all knew Ruby and Summer were the last silver eyed warriors left alive. He thought back to what Ozpin told them in private, yet it still didn't make sense.

The other two had left leaving the two headmasters alone in Ozpin's office. "Tell me Oz, why don't you just tell us everything there is to know? You and I both know that it would help us even more when dealing with the real threat." Ironwood stared at the small ring leader, his irises burning a blue fire in his frustration and anger. The man in question sipped some of his coffee before sighing.

"The reason I won't tell you everything James is quite simple. There are things out there that we can't just fight with military might. The tale in history I just told you was something that my predecessor told me to never tell anyone unless the time came for to be told. Now the time has come, and so the tale has been told. Personally I think you should be happy that I told you at all James." Ozpin sipped more coffee from his cup before continuing. "James, when I told you about Salem, the maidens, and the relics, I told you because you needed to know. Now I have told you about the Traveler's little visit to Remnant now because you needed to know about it. Now we wait and see if Summer was followed at all, and if so by who."

The atlesan general slammed his hand into the wall denting it a little. This caused someone to start laughing a little. "Well, well, well it seems I might have frustrated my gracious host. Tell me general, have I overstayed and over used my welcome, cause if so then just let me take my leave and I'll be on my way." Ironwood walked over to the open door and stared at the slimey criminal that gave the local authorities a really hard time.

"I can assure it's not you who has me frustrated at all. Plus you haven't even said a word, and as such you are not leaving your comfy little cell there." He turned away and walked away. He was going to let his mind figure things out on its own while he rested.

"She seems to have started to unlock some of her potential." Ozpin was abruptly brought from his thoughts as he watched the doubles rounds begin at the festival tournament. It was a voice he hadn't heard in a long time.

"So what brings you forth to speak this time?" It was a question he had asked the voice when it last spoke when he met Ruby and watched what she had accomplished, what she did against the thugs on that fateful night.

"Your mentor can't engage in a little chat at all?" The voice asked with a bit of humor within his words.

"If you wanted small talk then you would be talking a lot more often then whenever it is I see someone with silver eyes or, in the case of Amber's little predicament, when offering your insight on something that has never before happened." Ozpin was slightly upset by what it was that his predecessor was coming to talk to him for.

"Summer has only tapped into about half of the powers of the silver eyed warriors. If what your little circle is saying, then she might just have to tap into the full power of the silver eyes. You do remember what happened the last time she went to fight Salem with only a small amount of her powers unlocked." She could probably match the powers of a maiden with all their powers blow for blow. If Salem has the power to let someone steal those powers then she still won't be able to beat her."

"Yet we don't even know where spring is at all. So how can we fight the enemy if we don't have one maiden on the field, and one maiden is still missing?" This was one case were his mentor was more than annoying. He waited for a response, nothing, nothing at all. He sighed before going back to the screen, today was a certainly excellent choice of fights, the one he was interested in was team RWBY vs. team FNKI in the doubles rounds. He had chosen to let the teams surprise him this year and as such, didn't know who team RWBY elected.

Summer sat in the stands with her daughter, and her daughter's partner as Yang and Weiss entered the field on one side. On the other side entered a male student dressed as if he was in a jazz band, and a faunus girl on roller skates, dressed in some manner that summer didn't quite understand. She was excited to see how Yang fought, it seemed that Qrow taught Ruby how to fight, so she wondered how Yang fought.

The deserts of Vacuo caused him no problem, not even with the fact he was in ginormous armor. He had been through worse during his training. He turned his head to his left and felt the wind of Summer blast outward from a nearby oasis. Cursing his luck he ran off towards that oasis, he should've known that someone was waiting for him to leave her alone. He heard a humming noise, one associated with the engines of a plane or ship, he looked over his shoulder and saw an odd ship screaming towards the oasis. The ship flipped over and someone dropped from the cockpit of the ship. Activating his semblance he increased his speed and rushed towards the oasis. After arriving at the oasis he saw a man with a helmet weaving in and out of the swings from a large muscular man, on that he knew all too well. Hazel, one of Salem's servants. Drawing his sword the armored warrior swung at Hazel in a vicious swing aimed for the large man's arms. Dodging the sword stroke from the large warrior, only to grab the hand of the smaller warrior he charged the large man with a knife in his hands. Kicking the large muscular man in the face the small warrior broke from their foe's grasp and leapt backwards. Hazel backed off from his opponents and looked around his enemies before walking into the bushes and leaving. Sheathing his sword, he turned around and looked towards his temporary ally in the fight. The man nodded before turning around and walking off, yet he stopped to ask a question.

"What is your name?" He asked in a rather quizzical tone.

"My name? That, perhaps is something you are better off not knowing, yet you need to be able to call me something, so you may call me the Knight of Seasons." He looked into a bush where someone was hiding and beckoned for her to come with him. "Come child, we must move quickly." Together the two of them left the small knife user who fell from the ship behind at the oasis.

As the two of them left he watched them go before checking his tracker. It seemed that his two companions still had yet find her. Just as he was about to put away his device he saw something go off to the west of his position. It sent the coordinates to his two friends just as his ship arrived to retrieve him. He had found the one he was supposed to finish teaching, he had found Summer.

The was over, and Team RWBY had just barely won. Summer saw a major flaw with Yang's fighting style, she used her semblance as a giant temper tantrum. When she got the chance, she would work with Yang on it. Ruffling Ruby's hair she got up and headed towards her ship where she was going to work on some of her weapons, doing simple maintenance. It was at that moment that she clutched her heart leaned on the wall, she felt destruction, and death back on Earth. A great evil had happened. She ran towards her ship, right past a girl with red eyes and green hair.

Okay, something that I want to say before we close this off is that the story The Universal War: Order's Origins will be undergoing a slight delay. There are some reasons for this. The first reason is that I am having slight difficulty trying to figure out how I want to really kick into several major gears. The second reason is that the fact that I want to see how a side story from the Universal War series goes. If it earns a good enough standing then the project shall go on. It all depends on you the amazing viewers. Thank you for enjoying.
