I am looking for beta readers, no experience required. Shoot me a message if interested. Those who I take on as beta readers will be credited in every chapter they beta read for me. I hope to hear from you soon

Roman was now being absorbed by the bubbles, cackling the entire time, dropping his cane. "What the hell is he doing!?" Jun shouts, pulling out a katana. I then see a line of black heading toward me. I roll backwards, the attack just missing me.

"He's gone! We have to end this!" Qrow shouts. "I think we all fucking know this, Qrow!" I shout. 'But how?' I think to myself.

The creature that had taken over Roman let out large roar. The creature was a good thirty feet tall, and a wriggling mass of tentacles, arms, legs and a single head. "Ruby! Let's go!" I shout the command to our team leader. She nods, and summon a ward, with Weiss putting one on top of it. We jet toward the creature, my mind heading above the area Ruby was to attack. Then I see it, he was going to slam an arm on us.

I kick Ruby forward, getting my body horizontal to the ground. I spin, my blade slicing into the creature a good four or five times. Yang then takes over, beating it away from me. Ruby managed to get a good hit on the stomach of the creature. Weiss then puts up a ward, preventing the side swipe that would have surely hit us. I heard gunshots from behind us. Many, many gun shots.

I look back to the see the Black Claw shooting from a window. I then turn back, before being yanked into the air by a small tentacle. "Fuck!" I shout. Qrow manages to get up high enough to slice body part off of me. I then foot plant off of him. I aim for the head, slicing into it. I cause the creature to recoil, a shout of pain emanating from it.

I land hard as I try to dodge to a tentacle, but it hit me anyway. I see Qrow spinning his scythe, swapping hands every swing. I quickly get to my feet, picking up the sword I dropped. This fight was going no where. I quickly look around for something, anything, that would be useful. Then, in a moment of misjudgment, the creature got a hit on Ruby. Not a knock back hit either. The creature had hit her with a large tentacle, tearing through her stomach. Everyone froze, and she looks on in horror.

"R-rubes?" I year Yang call out. She then shouts in anger, shooting toward the beast. Yang then caught a tentacle around her neck, removing her head in a second. "Yang?" I ask out, the body hitting the roof. A puddle of blood had surrounded her now deceased body. Ruby also hit the ground, blood flowing around her as well. Qrow looked devastated. "Qrow! Udai! Get the FUCK out of there!" Jun shouts at us. I grip my sword, blocking an incoming tentacle, but the blade slips from my hand slightly, enough to wound my hand.

Blood now coated the blade. I turn my gaze to the creature that had once been Roman. "I will fucking end you."

I shot toward the beast, slicing downward at it. I see a ripple in the air and felt my blade hit something soft, something living. I heard something organic hit the ground, and the soft dripping of blood. I open my eyes, to see Roman, his hand now removed. A syringe of black liquid on the ground. Suddenly, I had a new memory. Someone attacking Roman before he used the syringe.

I look back to where I had ran to the roof. And I saw myself standing with my team. "What the..." I was knocked over, my weapon removed from my hand. I was quickly put on my back, a flash light in my face. "Udai? What the hell was that?" I hear Yang ask. "Y-yang?" I look to my side to the see Ruby also alive, no wounds or anything. "R-ruby? You're alive?" I ask out, shakily returning my sword to my sheathe.

"Why did you attack him?" Ruby asks. "He, he killed you. Or, I thought... but I saw... WHAT THE FUCK!?" I shout, causing everyone to jump back. I quickly sit up, and see both Morgan and Jun running toward us. "Everyone relax, we will explain," Morgan says, getting over to me. "But first," She says, putting her fingers against my throat. "His pulse is normal, he seems to be coherent. I thought we would have time to get a better training area..."

"Explain. Now." I growl. "So, you are a soul reaper, this has been explained. But do you know what you just did?" Jun asks. "Hallucinated? I don't fucking know," I tell him. "Ok, let's move inside, I hate the rain," He says.

We all quickly move inside, the command room now completely absent of the white fang. We all gather around the command table, everyone seemingly afraid of me. Probably because I outright attacked someone.

"Now, Udai, tell me what you saw out there. Try not to leave out any details," Jun says. And I retell, even the part of my sisters deaths. The room was completely silent, Jun seeming to be attempting to find something to say. "Damn!" Morgan shouts, slamming her fist on the table. "I thought we had more time, Jun!" She says. "I did too!" Jun replies. "What the hell is going on!?" I shout, standing.

"Fuck! Okay, okay..." Jun says, sighing. "Udai, do you know the theories about time?" Morgan asks. The theory flashed through my mind, that aura, the all encompassing force that allowed us to fight the Grimm, also held onto all time. My jaw dropped slightly, the revelation hitting me like a tanker truck.

"I can... control time?" My question hung in the air. I fall back into my chair. "Not exactly... you can manipulate past events, you just needed something to unlock it, which happened to be the death of your sisters. We... need you for a certain purpose... but we were waiting until you fully understood what was at stake." Morgan says bluntly.

I grew irritated at this. "Who the hell do you think I am!? Some fucking puppet!? Someone you can snap your fingers and have what ever fucking problems you have magically disappear!?" I shout. "Udai. You are the only one who CAN do what we need you for." Jun says.

"Just who the fuck are YOU to tell ME what you need ME to do!?" My rant continues. Jun then slides a scroll over to me. On it, I see a video feed. "This, is Mistral. This is not the Mistral you left all those years ago," He said, as the horrid video showed. Grimm were in the streets, killing people left and right, the white fang shooting people next to them.

"How did..." I mutter. "Cinder... she needed only one of the maidens, taking her power. She has now merged with the Grimm. She is both human, and Grimm... Udai, you remember that expedition where your command had brought you out extremely quick? This is what they found," He says, swiping to a picture. I see the machine which I had discovered.

"She used this... to kill the rest of the maidens. She now controls all of powers, something we never thought possible," He says, swiping to another video. Cinder had been tearing through multitudes of hunters and huntresses. "Fuck..." I whisper. At this point, I finally realized. I had done this. "And we need to recover that machine..." Jun says.

"I know where it is, if what you say is correct, I can go back, and stop myself from ever finding it in the first place, I would still remember right? Like how I remember Ruby and Yang dying?" I ask. "This machine wouldn't allow that. It is an object that can sense the aura around it. As such, any major shift in the aura would displace it, and we may never find it again. You have to allow it to fall into the hands of the white fang." Morgan says.

"Fuck..." I mutter. "But, Udai, there is a slight issue. You remember Maxine's death?" Jun asks. "Kinda, my foster dad didn't give any specifics. Why?" I ask. "You killed her."

More silence filled the room. "I really can time travel...can't I?" I ask. "We need you to repeat this, we need you to go back to where it all began," Jun tells me. Everyone's eyes fall onto me. I wasn't stupid, I realize what he was asking me to do.

"I'll do it," I mutter. I hear both Morgan and Jun let out a sigh of relief. "We'll help you, that we can do," Morgan tells me. It still made no sense to me, time travel, that only happens in books doesn't it?

"But, you will need to take someone with you, and both Yang and Ruby are out of the question. The fact that they are immediate relatives would cause issues." Jun says.

"I'll go with him." Blake states. "How do we go back?" I ask. Jun nods, pulling out a blade. He slides it to me. "This will allow you more precise control over your jumps," He tells me. I pick up the dagger. "So, by cutting myself? That's rather barbaric, isn't it?" I reply.

"It's not the cutting yourself that does it, it's your blood being able to slice into aura. You can open a portal to different times. But you must be careful. It's very strenuous on the body, that's why you need to take someone with you. It will spread the strain out," He tells me.

"Okay... let's fucking do this..." I mutter, standing with Blake. "Wait, here," Morgan says, tossing us a jacket. A black jacket. I put it on, as does Blake. "We don't know if you will end up back here, this will help you be protected from our soldiers. The sign and countersign is chaotic order and clean destruction," Morgan tells us. I nod, and bring the blade to my hand.

"Are you ready?" I ask Blake. She nods, and I slice open my hand, and slice through the air, opening the portal to the date I remembered. The day my foster mother died. "Let's go," I say, stepping through the rift.
