I'm back. I'm sorry that took so long but high school sucks. Remember that this has an epilogue and then it is over. I also want a few more votes as to which I should write next. a comedy or hardship story.

"Ruby Rose. It has been many years since I have told anyone this. But if I'm going to fight you I owe you explanation to anything you may want to know. Ask away." Ozpin said, still holding his cane in case his opponent decided to skip this lesson.

"Ok, how old are you?" Ruby asked, buying time for her aura to regenerate.

"I am many thousands of years old. In fact I once saw the moon when it was full."

"Exactly what is your semblance?"

"I have many, given time to aqquaint my aura with them, my most note able is enhanced speed of the mind and body."

"How are you this old, and what does your weapon do?"

"Time Dust, it slowed my aging when I took it into my own blood. As for my weapon it is enhanced with all types of dust to channel my many semblances, but it is only a cane."

"Lastly, what happened to the moon?" Ruby asked the question everyone in Remnant wondered.

"It exploded because life had to be made." Ozpin answered, taking up his fighting stance. He used a semblance of speed to meet Ruby, green sparks flying off of him. Ruby parried the first couple strikes with her Crossing Blades, Crescent Rose being to big for this close quarters. After a few successful blocks, Ozpin switched to an explosive semblance to effectively shatter the scythes and launch Ruby back.

Ruby tried to recover herself but was hit by a series of fast jabs from Ozpin. Sending her back again, Ozpin used a fire semblance to lob an aura filled fire bomb at the girl. At the contact of this Ruby felt a great heat all around her, briefly taking the oxygen from her lungs. Somehow managing to land on her feet, Ruby brought out Crescent Rose and fired some black dust rounds.

The professor dodged most of the shots, one glancing him in the shoulder. He attacked again, drawing from an icen semblance to freeze the girl in place. She dodged just in time. Firing another shot into his chest, Ozpin stumbled. This gave Ruby the time to get a strike from Crescent Rose's blade. Catching him in the shoulder her was pushed to the side.

The strike was ineffective because of his aura. Mimicking Glynda's semblance he shot a few stone tablets from the arena at Ruby. Dodging these she used her weapon to launch herself at the professor. Slashing at him proved useless again as he deftly redirected the force and direction of the blow into the ground. He took this chance and put another sequence of short but strong jabs into Ruby's figure.

Ruby barely managed to raise her arm to block the net strike. Ruby summoned a rush of petals at Ozpin to stun him. Having time to retrieve Crescent Rose from the ground proved useful as it gave her a way to defend the next attack, another fireball.

Ruby sent another rush of petals at the professor, these hardened and edged. The storm hit Ozpin full on, but he dodged each one with a winding movement, each petal striking a light green afterimage. A very advanced use of Blake's semblance. He retaliated by creating a green glyph behind him, and launching forward to run Ruby through.

Ruby didn't so much dodge to the side as she moved enough not to take full damage. The blow stung her arm and she found it wouldn't move, green zaps flickering. Her arm was stunned. Ruby focused the strength in one arm to block Ozpin's next strike. The force of his mimicked explosive strike knocked her weapon fro her hand, the next sent Ruby flying.

Ruby already knew this was an uphill battle, but she didn't expect to be nearly defenseless. Her aura was already waning while she had only managed two or three hits on the professor. Ruby decided to pull out all the stops.

Focusing and flaring her aura into the grimm within her, he felt pain. Pain that only came with a body altering stunt. She began to secrete black smoke from her skin. This smoke pooled around her. Ozpin would have stopped her immediately but was curious.

The smoke thickened to the point Ozpin could no longer see Ruby. The smoke started condensing and the professor detected a large spike in aura from her, he got into a fighting stance. The smoke then condensed onto Ruby's form like her petals did, leaving her more grimm than human.

She had large bone plates on her upper arms as well as her legs and back. She had claws on her fingers, and small sharp spikes on her elbows. She was about a foot taller and her skin was black.. He face and body were twisted to become slightly wolf like. With no bone plates on her face her eyes more prominent. Instead of the grimm red everyone was used to, a shining silver covered them.

The newly changed Ruby summoned a larger and more deadly set of Crossing Blades. She charged the professor with much more speed than her was expecting, slicing him and drawing the first blood. The next strike was aimed at his neck but was blocked by his cane.

Ruby pushed harder, her newfound strength seeming to overpower him until he briefly switched to a strength enhancing semblance to throw her off. Using a strength semblance to jump back proved useless as Ruby caught up instantly. Ozpin was caught in the side of the head by the blunt end of the scythe, staggering him. The next strike put a thin cut in his chest.

Ozpin slammed his cane into the ground to create a ring of lighting around himself. While slowing Ruby it had less effect than usual. He charged again, sweeping Ruby's legs, then laying a barrage of jabs that pushed her across the field. Ruby clawed her scythes into the ground and puled to launch herself.

He blocked the strike only to have his cane caught in the crook of the scythes, and violently twisted. He let go of the scythe and caught in in the other hand. He sent another series of jabs into Ruby, who this time stood her ground. Instantly she lashed out with her blades, giving the professor two more cuts.

The professor received slice after cut, bludgeon after blow. He was no longer gaining ground, but losing it. His own aura was starting to wane from the continuous use of random semblances that kept Ruby thinking. Unlike his counterparts, he had no great suicide maneuver to take Ruby with him, no hidden weapon and semblance left to surprise her. All he could do was fight to his last breath, which he felt may be soon.

Ruby lashed out again, catching a green shadow clone in the shoulder, only to hit the intended target on the next strike. Ozpin parried as many strikes as he could, dodging what he couldn't. But he was slowing down, and Ruby noticed this. Se poured on the strikes, at this point the professor's body was covered in cuts and bruises.

Ozpin sent out another surge of electricity, but it was weak and barely affected Ruby. She lashed out and caught his temple with the blunt end, he struggled to stay on his feet. As a last ditch effort Ozpin mimicked Yang's semblance to turn some of his damage into strength, his hair glowed a green flame, attributing to Yang's own fire.

Though it did no good, he lashed out with this last breath of strength. Ruby dodged each attack, getting behind and striking him in the back of the head. This time his knees buckled. His breath was ragged and he had no fight left in him.

"Well, I never thought I'd see the day, I fall." Ozpin admitted.

"To be honest I didn't either." Ruby spoke. "I will leave Glynda to honor yours and your friends story." Ruby walked over and detached Ember Celica from Yang's wrists and placed them with the rest.

"I guess this is where I die, isn't it." Ozpin said, not a question, but a statement. Ruby nodded. Walking over to the professor she raised her scythe. Ozpin closed his eyes and her was ended. Ruby placed his weapon and body with the rest. Ruby walked over taking Yang's unconscious body and leaving the school, seeking The Stranger so that he could turn her.

It is not as long as I wanted but it will work. Remember to leave your vote for comedy or hardships for the next story. Have a great day.
