"It's been to long Ozpin" a voice broke the silence between Glynda and Ozpin as they turned to see a man with greying short black hair in a white suit walking into the office. "That it has general" Ozpin replied as he started to pour some coffee into two mugs.
"And Glynda, how have you been" the general asked as Glynda narrowed her eyes at him. "Fine James, I'll be outside, we will finish this later Ozpin" Glynda said, leaving the two men as Ozpin sighed heavily.
"Was I interrupting anything?" James asked as Ozpin shook his head, seating himself down on his chair before passing a mug of coffee to the general. "Nothing but a disagreement over a student" Ozpin said offhandedly as James stared at him.
"But what has brought you down here may I ask, headmasters don't usually come for something as simple as the vital festival?" Ozpin questioned. "Vale is great this time of year, and it's a perfect chance to catch up" James replied as Ozpin shook his head.
"I can see the reason, but the small fleet outside my windows speaks differently" Ozpin countered. "You know why there are here" James muttered lowly. "James, we are in a time of peace, a power show like this will scare people" Ozpin countered evenly.
"I'm just being cautious" the general spoke as Ozpin nodded, taking a small sip of his drink. "As am I, which is why I am training the best hunters and huntresses there are" Ozpin explained as James narrowed his eyes at the silver haired man.
"Does that include the boy that battled that new Grimm?" he asked as the headmaster narrowed his eyes slightly. "I shouldn't be surprised Mr Skellington gathered your attention" Ozpin whispered. "He was using powers that were not dust or a semblance, lots of eyes will be looking towards him, some of them looking to use it against us" James said as Ozpin sighed.
"That is of no consequence right now, if the new Grimm appears again, Mr Skellington will handle it" Ozpin said as the general narrowed his eyes at him. "You might be putting to much trust in a child" James said, turning to leave the office as Ozpin lowered his gaze.
"Maybe I am...but this child has fought far worse then we have" Ozpin whispered as he spun in his chair, turning to gaze out of his towers window.
"What the hell are we playing?" Glenn mumbled as he sat beside Yang, the girl enthusiastically acting out in despair as Ruby attacked her armies of Grim on the game board. "Pretty good, but you just activated my trap card" Yang said, spinning the card around as Ruby gasped in disbelief.
"Seven or higher and your flights are sliced in two" Yang said as she prepared to roll. "But if you roll a six or lower, the nevermore will turn on your own forces" Ruby countered as Yang glared at her. "It's a risk I'm willing to take" she said.
"This looks like a mix of Yu-gi-oh and conquest" Glen mumbled as he glanced at team JNPR, Pyrrha giving him a smile as he waved at her. Jaune was reading a comic while Nora was sleeping...on the book Ren was trying to study from.
"Have you no heart" Ruby cried in defeat as Glenn turned back to the game. What happened, did she lose? What did he miss in the five second she looked away? "Alright Weiss, its your turn" Yang said as the white clad girl looked at her cards in confusion.
"I have no idea what's going on?" she admitted slowly. "You aren't the only one" Glenn whispered to her as she gave him a small smile in return. "You can play these cards using Vacio's natural abilities to take Ruby's destroyed fleet and attack my kingdom" Yang explained.
"Your just three turns from conquering remnant" Ruby cried lowly. Weiss suddenly had the idea of how she could win as she played her cards. "Fear my power, run as we pillage your cities, and weep as we take your children from your..." Weiss was cut off mid rant as Yang placed a card in her face.
"Trap card" she said, rearranging the board to show the Weiss's forces were destroyed. "Your armies have been destroyed" she said simply as Weiss sat down in defeat. "I hate this game of emotions we play" she cried as Ruby jumped into her lap.
"Be strong Weiss, we'll make it through this together" she cried as the two girls hugged. Glenn could only star in confusion, wondering how Weiss could get into the game so quickly if she only learned to play it five seconds ago.
"Alright Blake your up" Yang said as she turned to the cat girl. "Huh, ugh, I'm not in the mood to play" she said tiredly as Glenn glanced at her, he could already see bags forming under her eyes from lack of sleep.
"Sup losers" a voice said as the two teams turned to see Sun standing there with his blue haired friend. "Hay Sun" Ruby offered as the monkey faunus smiled at the group. "Ruby, Yang, Blake, Glenn, ice queen" Sun said in order.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that" Weiss asked as Glenn patted her on the shoulder. "I never got the chance to introduce you to my friend" he said, turning to the bluenette beside him. "Aren't libraries for reading?" he asked.
"Thank you!" Ren exclaimed as someone finally agreed with him. "Pancakes!" Nora yelled as she woke up.
"Shut up, don't be a nerd" Sun said as the blue haired teen interrupted him. "Intellectual, okay, thank you" he said. "I'm Neptune" he introduced as Glenn stared at the tow of them. "Is your whole team named after gods?" he asked as the two looked at him funny.
"Never mind, different world stuff" he said, leaning back into Yang as the girl nudged him playfully. "So where are you from Neptune" Weiss asked as the blue turned to her, smiling as he walked forward.
"I don't believe I caught your name snow angel" Neptune said smoothly as Glenn raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm Weiss Schnee, and don't call me that" she said as Jaune felt sympatric towards the blue haired dude.
Neptune raised an eyebrow, wondering why his usually smooth talk wasn't working, until he noticed the blonde dressed just like Yang sitting beside Weiss. He could only stare at him, his mind racing as he remembered Sun telling him how Blake likes the guy.
"Holy shit, you're a god amongst men!" he praised as Glenn stared at him in confusion. "Tell me your secrets oh great one!" he praised as Glenn looked to Sun for an answer. Only to get a shrug in return as the monkey faunus was wondering what Neptune was going on about.
Did he know something about the demon boy he didn't?
"I never took you for the board playing type?" Sun said, looking down at Blake as the cat girl glanced up at him. "I think I'm done playing actually" she said, pushing past Sun as the monkey Faunas looked to the others for an answer.
"Women" Nora said as the others just gave her a strange look. "Will you get off my skirt!" Glenn yelled as Neptune tugged, demanding answers from him. "Is it because you cross dress, is that how you do it!" he demanded.
"I don't not cross dress!" Glenn yelled as Yang chucked. "You're wearing my skirt Glenn, you're is in the wash remember" she laughed as the others joined in, Glenn blushing as he glared at her. "No one needed to know that!" he yelled as the teams laughter increased, even Weiss letting out a cute giggle at the blonde predicament.
Blake sat in her room, her mind focused on the white fang, her involvement, her escape and her interview with Ozpin as she tried to figure out her next move. We shouldn't have let him play" Yang's voice broke her from her thoughts as she looked up to see the other four of her team walking into the room.
"You should have attacked when I told you" Ruby taunted as the girls huffed in annoyance. Blake silently moved to leave the room, her hand just grasping the handle until it was grabbed by someone else.
Looking up, her amber eyes met tainted blue as Glenn stared at her with a worried expression. "Blake, lately you've been quiet, anti-social and moody" Weiss said as Yang raised an eyebrow. "Have you met Blake?" she asked, only to be ignored by the white clad girl.
"I guess that is your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual, which quite frankly, it unacceptable, you made a promise to me, to all of us that you would tell us if something it bothering you" Weiss said before disappeared, appearing in Blake's face with her finger pointing accusingly at her.
"So what is wrong Blake belladonna?" she demanded, almost falling over on the chair she was using to strike her pose. "Where did you get the chair?" Glenn asked only to be ignored as Blake turned to the other girls.
"I just...don't understand how everyone can be so calm right now" she admitted as Glenn frowned behind her. "Still thinking of Roman?" Ruby asked. "Him, the white fang, all of it, something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it" she explained as Glenn placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Ozpin told us not to worry, between the police and the huntsmen, I'm sure they could handle it" Yang said as Glenn grimaced slightly. "Well, he suggested it" Glenn mumbled as only Blake caught his words.
"Well I'm not, they don't know the white fang like I do" she yelled as the three girls looked at each other in concern. "Okay, between blowing up night clubs, stopping thieves and fighting for freedom, I'm sure you three must think you're ready to apprehend these ne'er-do-wells" Weiss spoke up in between the other three girls.
"Who?" Ruby asked as Yang nudged her slightly. "But let me be the voice of reason, we're students, we're not ready to handle this" Weiss said as Blake glared at her. "And we may never be ready, are enemies aren't just going to wait until graduation, there out there, planning their next move while we just sit here" Blake said as Glenn slowly pulled the distraught girl into a hug.
"Calm down okay, they're not as far along as you think" she spoke as the other three looked at him in confusion. "I may or may not have been out a few nights, killing some Grimm outside of Vales walls" Glenn explained as Yang glared at him.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Blake asked as she glanced back at him, not really wanting to be out of his arms just yet. "I found out about a few things from this white fang member I stumbled across, well the only one that was alive" Glenn said with a grin as Yang shivered slightly.
"They won't be moving for a while, they need more information...on us specifically" he explained as the girls looked at him in surprise. "Why would they need information on students?" Weiss asked as the blonde shrugged.
"Undefeated tournament champion, Schnee company heiress, former white fang member...freak of nature with a connection to a new Grimm" Glenn explained as the white clad girl flinched slightly. "They want information on their enemies" he added.
"So...whose in favour of becoming the youngest huntresses and taking down a corrupt organisation, say aye" Ruby said as Yang smiled at her little sister. "Yes" she agreed. "Why not sounds like fun" Weiss admitted. "I'm a dude" Glenn grumbled to himself.
"So we're all in this together" Blake said as she leant back into Glenn's arms feeling relieved she had her friends to count on this time around. "No one said aye" Ruby whispered sadly. "Let's hatch a plan" Ruby cheered as the other nodded.
"I left my board game in the library!" she gasped running out the door as Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose. "We're doomed" she whispered as Glenn chuckled at her words. "So, are you going to keep hugging Blake, or am I going to have to leave you two alone?" Yang asked teasingly as the two in question blinked at her.
Blake blushed as she realised that Glenn was still hugged her, and Glenn was blushing because Yang wasn't angry about it, if anything she seemed excepting about it. Weiss just glared at the back of his head as the two separated, Glenn saying sorry as she jumped into his shared bed with Yang.
A pulse from his pocket dimension made the blonde blink in surprise. Summoning the object, Glenn stared in confusion as the jewel of order pulsed slightly, a flicker of red entering the silver jewel before it vanished.
"Is that the jewel that Grimm gave you?" Weiss's voice broke his concentration on the jewel as he turned to her. "Yeah, I need to check something out, I'll be back in a bit" he said, leaping from the bed as Weiss raised an eyebrow at him.
Leaving the room, Glenn just caught the sight of Ruby disappearing around the corner. Shaking his head, Glenn turned to the opposite direction as he noticed three people in black uniforms walking down the hall.
The jewel in his hands pulsed again, his eyes narrowing slightly as he felt the jewel pulling towards the girl with long black hair. Why would anyone of this world have a connection to the dragon jewels?
His answer came into the form of a familiar hollow laugh echoing through his mind. His eyes widened as he stared down at the jewel in his hands, why would Thanatos give a jewel to anyone. It didn't make sense.
Turning back to the dorm room, Glenn sent one last glance at the girl with black hair, making sure to keep an eye out for her from now on.
The jewels weren't meant for human hands, and why did he think he remembered this girl form before.
Shaking his head, Glenn went to get some sleep, unknowingly missing the girl sending a glance at him from over her shoulder.
"Something up Cinder?" the silver haired male asked as Cinder glanced at him. "Nothing to be concerned about yet, just keep an eye out for a blonde male in a skirt" Cinder said as her two minions shared a look at her words.
What kind of guy was wearing a skirt here?
