"wh-who i-is he?" a much older Summer asked wiping the tears from her eyes sitting across from ozpin as she wore a white blouse under a black corset, matching skirt with same colour stockings, shoes with Fletcher's pristine white cloak.
Her friend and one of her teammates Tai stood behind rubbing her shoulders softly, He had blond hair wearing an orange shirt with a brown vest, cargo shorts with matching sandals
"As you just heard Summer his name is Fletcher, and I searched as far as I could and only found one file In relation of one...Fletcher Rose" he said changing from the security cameras to a deceased hospital file his picture taken while he slept in the hospital bed
'Name : Fletcher
Age : 16-20
Family : Mother- Roisin Rose (Deceased), Sister- Summer Rose (Unknown)
Past history: None
Status: Deceased
"it's small, because the day this was made was the day any file was made on him, as well as yours and your mothers, you've been off the grid for all of your life at that time, it was so small it's only a death report" ozpin said sipping his coffee cup, he's a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, with shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants
"but also we found another video inside the hospital, the day he was discharged" he added as Summer just wiped the tear from her eye nodding, as ozpin pulled up another video of inside the hospital, it looked normal the doctors and nurses walking around, they thought it was a normal video then they heard it
"where. Is. My. SCYTHE!!"
"sir, please stay seated sir, Sir, SIR!" the voice yelled as a male doctor was thrown outside followed by another, and a guards had his head smashed through the window and he fainted to the ground then more guard came in grabbing the door trying to hold it closed as more banging from the door shook it
"what's happening?!" a tall man asked a guard as they tried to get past but they held him back
"sir please step back we have a riling patient in the room, he has attacked and beat seven others when they tried to sedate him" he said keeping them back as a gloved hand shattered the door window and pulled a guard through by the neck as he screamed
"what is going on here?" a female doctor said crossing her arms, as she stared the guard down, a fellow male doctor standing behind her looking nervous, his gaze switching from the door to the guard as he reported
"the patient has pulled out his morphine bag and snapped he screamed about wanting his weapons, when we tried to Pacify him he has knocked ei-" *crash* 'my, leg!' "-nine others out of commission" he finished more crashing as guards were dragged into the room screaming followed by thudding
"let him out, Now!" she yelled at him as the guard nodded his head hesitantly ordering the men to make a semi-circle around the door in a tight formation
"let go of the door!" he ordered and they released it, joining the circle as fearful silence washed over the room
"WHERE. IS. MY. SCYTHE?" he said his voice deep and dark. Filled with unyielding fury
"maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" tai offered trying to make sense of the situation even though how ridiculous his reasoning is
"sir, I'm going to have to tell you, to tur-" before the original guard could finish, the figure shot his arm out of his cloak and wrapped his hand around his throat and lifted him in the air choking
"Fletcher, calm down don't lose control, stay calm" the faunus woman said to Fletcher who just turned to her in a snap, releasing the guard in hand he turned to them fully
"Summer is missing, and you expect me to stay CALM?!" he seethed as everyone in the froze, at his words Summer couldn't believe her ears, ozpin paused the video
"why, can't I remember all this, my brother, my mother, anyone!" Summer cried holding her head in her hands as Tai just wrapped her own cloak around her, embracing her in a tight yet reassuring hug
"we don't know but he might and I called one of the few people who could track him" he said
"If Qrow got assigned then why didn't we?" Tai asked knowing he'd and they would be up to the task
"No not Qrow, I need someone with experience on how to deal with such a man" Ozpin said making everyone question who could be chosen over Qrow the best tracker to come from beacon before a ringing sound came on the hologram, Ozpin pressed a button and it came up with a picture of the bird named Huntsman himself crouched in a tree, high above the ground, he had dark black, spiky hair and bright red eyes. Wearing a red tattered cloak, a gray dress shirt, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
"I hear you tasked another tracker for something Sigma Level, why wasn't I told about this" Qrow said into the ear piece holding the scroll in his hand
"I'm sorry that such information has distracted you from your mission Qrow but I assure you the man I hired can get the job done" Ozpin assured
"At least tell us who you hired, it shouldn't remain a secret if he's crucial to finding him?" Glynda asked searching through her scroll to find any transaction for a new huntsman
"I don't know" Ozpin replied making everyone double take
"What do you mean you don't know?" Summer asked questioning his sanity
"Exactly what I said Ms Rose, I don't know who I've hired" Oz said switching the screen into a short video, the video had a stone circle with different colors, Blue, Green, Red, and Brown, The blue one already destroyed Suddenly a Light Green force field appeared in the middle and exploded outwards cutting the video to static immediately
"What is that supposed to mean?" Tai said voicing everyone's confusion
"It's a signal, a way to contact the other side to return"
"The other side?" Glynda said questioningly
"It's not important but what I say next is something I've needed to say for a long time but...I've met Mr.Fletcher before" Ozpin revealed drinking from his cup as everyone's jaw dropped at this revelation
"YOU KNEW HIM!" Summer yelled feeling betrayed that her father figure would hide this from her
"Yes, This was many many years ago, he was a different person then as was I" Summer almost launched forward but Tai caught her in time to pull the enraged teary eyed Summer back from doing something she'd regret
"That's messed up Oz" Qrow said hearing it all
"You better explain this instant Ozpin" Glynda said a surprising edge to her voice
"You must understand Summer.." Ozpin said taking off his glasses
"..I thought he was dead like the others, but when I saw the video I couldn't believe that not only is he alive but he also brought you, another silver eyed warrior to beacon" Summer stopped moving hearing Ozpin create more questions than answers
"I tried to find him honestly I did, but he's good at disappearing always has been, You see Fletcher like the others are legends just like the maidens.." Glynda narrowed her eyes at that statement knowing better than the others of the mission at hand
"..But unlike the maidens who give, they take, they destroy, so imagine my surprise when the most Ruthless of them, the most Bloodthirsty, The so called Executioner Brings a little girl here to be protected" Ozpin finished leaving a deadly silence, Summer stared at her heart afraid of knowing the truth behind her family
"Who was he really, behind the titles, and legends?" Summer asked making Ozpin sigh and rub his eyes
"He is exactly as the titles branded him and he's brethren as A killer with no guilt or remorse..." She felt a part of her nearly break until he said
"at least he was but I think you and your mother changed that, for some reason he cared for a human life, yours.." Ozpin stood and walked around the desk to summer taking her hands in his
"You changed him Summer, you changed thousands of years of instinct that made him a monster and turned him into a man, have faith my source will find him" Summer shed a lone tear with a hopeful smile
"So when does your source even get here?" Tai asked when they heard something land behind them making them turn around
"Right now" A man stood behind them covered head to toe in red metal armour looking like a cyborg with glowing fiery slits for eyes, he had two giant black handguns glowing bright orange at the tips on his brown leather belt demon like figures carved into them, he wore a matching small red cloak along his shoulders
"Price, I see you made it" Ozpin said walking up to Red armoured man
"Oz last time I saw you, were you a wizard or a king?" Price replied giving Ozpin a firm handshake
"It's changed a lot over the years, one tends to forget" They both chuckled lightly as the rest watched the reunion wary of the newcomer
"Ozpin who is this?" Summer asked unable to look Price in the eyes a sense of dread and fear filling her gut
"Allow me to introduce myself.." Price said stepping forwards
"I'm Price, handsome rogue, honourable knight, and dealer of whatever is your heart's content or but I'm known as The Devil, but also I'm Fletchers brother" He said making Summers eyes widen at the mention of Fletcher
"You're my brother?" She said hopefully causing him to recoil in surprise
"How would I, what?, be your brother...care to explain Oz?" Price said crossing his arms
"Fletcher essentially got adopted"
"Fucking what, shit I'm not letting him live this one down" Price grinned under he's mask
"Hey he took care of me...I think, he brought me here for some reason and I want to know why" Summer said
"And you need me to find him, ok I get why I'm awake" He said stroking his chin which was unusual given he's suit but Summer didn't mind she just felt giddy at the thought of having someone who could finally give her answers
"Wait, if your Fletchers brother, where were you?" Tai asked
"Dead" Price laughed as if that answered anything making Ozpin nod grimly
"Well more like my body's been dead for the better half of two-hundred years, can't really count time that well down there" Ozpin took his seat as Price walked up next to them
"Sorry Oz but I don't really see how he can find him faster than I can, just give me a break off this recon mission and I'll handle it" Qrow said
"Shut it birdie, no matter how experienced you are no one but me or the others can find Fletcher and vice versa, If he wants to disappear he'll disappear without a trace, but luckily for our kind we have a special connection" Price explained using a small computer on his left gauntlet to update something
"And what kind is that?" Qrow replied annoyed at the remark
"Silver eyed warriors"
"You have silver eyes?" Summer asked surprised like the others except Ozpin, she attempted to look in the slits but the deathly hollow feeling overtook her
"Yeah I do, somewhere under here" Price said tapping his helmet causing a clunk
"Well if you can track him because you're a silver eye, then could I?" Summer asked surprised she didn't know she could magically find other people like her
"I don't take kids, I'm not a babysitter" He said crossing his arms
"I'm twenty two and graduated from beacon, I'm not a kid" Summer snapped not detecting Price in the slightest
"And how do silver eyes track each other that's so much better than I can?" Qrow added unbelieving
"Well silver eyes have special connections that can detect each other everywhere we go, where we've been, where we'll be things like that"
"How come I haven't felt it with you?" Summer asked confused
"Calm down we just met!" Price exclaimed backing up at the notion, the question oddly taking him by surprise
"it takes trust for that kind of bond and if Fletcher did care for you then you should be able to find him hypothetically" Price explained
"Then wouldn't it be better if they were two of us instead of just you?" Summer tried to reason
"I never fail when it comes to finding Fletcher, at least our other brothers try to blend into the crowd he just decapitates people who even slightly piss him off" Price said
"And as I said, I'm not a fucking babysitting service so no you can't come" Price repeated, Summer tried to retort and Tai wanted to punch him for speaking to her that way but Ozpin spoke first
"Price, if you take her with you I will help awaken the others" Price stepped to the desk he's right hand bursting into a flame making the rest jump
"Is that a deal I smell?" Price chuckled darkly
"Not a deal, an expectation" Ozpin clarified making Price 'humph' and dismiss the flame
"Hmm, I guess even if that was a deal we both know you'd rather lose your soul than let us all run loose at the same time, and what makes you think I won't do it myself?" Price said sneering
"If you could wake them then you would've, we both know you're far too weak to do anything if I decided to lock you away" Ozpin threatened
"Then why send me after Fletcher? You couldn't capture him and he's been awake all these years he'll awaken them once I tell him where they are" Price retorted
"Because I believe it's about time you all deserve your humanity back Price, your lives back if you take her with you think of it as the first step" Summers breath hitched at Ozpin's words, turning to Price he stared at the floor for a long moment before raising his head he's eyes burning holes into Ozpin's. Not literally
"Fine but only her, I'm not letting anyone else slow me down"
"Deal!" Summer said suddenly cutting in between them
"Summer are you sure about this?, He could be dangerous" Tai asked worriedly as Summer embraced him in a hug
"I'm a big girl I can take care of myself besides you have to watch Yang after Qrow…..Wait a sec" Summer turned to Qrow on the screen as he walked a white sash around his chest now in full view
"Qrow, where's Yang?!" She yelled helping Tai realize, Summers yell caused a little voice to began crying in the background making Qrow freeze that he's been caught
"Oh Fuck" He said before hanging up
"Go do your thing I'm going to teach that bastard a lesson!" Tai yelled running to the elevator already taking it down
"Fucking kids with fucking kids you've got to be shitting me" Price asked face palming
"Anyways ready?" Summer just looked at Glynda who smiled then nodded, so they began walking towards the elevator
"Before you go I made the liberty of placing Blue stones all around vale" Ozpin said making Price stop in his tracks clenching his fists
"From the video, what'll that do?" Summer asked curiously watching the exchange between Price and Ozpin
"It'll attract him, thanks Oz" Price grunted resuming to the elevator even faster
"Tell me Ozpin after all this time why did you choose now to go hunting after Summers' family?" Glynda asked as the elevator doors closed
"I fear even if we found the strength to fight Her Glynda we'd fail because we have to much to lose going to her, but if we had allies that thrived off it then she can't do anything to stop it now can She, especially if they're her Chief weapons"
