Ozpin blinked, looking up. He scanned the crowd, looking for something. It was a blip, then it was gone; but he knew the feeling of that blip- it was his own magic, the one he gave the girls that pulled him out of his sadness long ago. The woman who stole part of Amber's magic was here, he was sure- but he couldn't find them.

He blinked again, feeling four different blips of magic, in response to that one being used. It felt like Fire, Air, Earth, and Ice magic. One, he knew, he had already met, the second was studying at his school, the third and fourth, he hadn't met yet. The first, Air, he knew came from the young man who worked for the OME, Silver, Ozpin thought his name was. The second was Glynda's favorite, Jade Forrest, who had the Earthen magic. She was lucky she used it in tandem with her semblance, otherwise Ozpin would've talked to her with it.

But the Fire and Ice blips. . .Hmm, this required more thought; especially when he wasn't bothered by the other Headmasters and company owners. The Prestigious Lot, he called them in his head. Absently replying to someone- he didn't care enough to remember- he let out a little blip of his own magic, Light Magic.

The responding blips of the four elements gave him all he knew to find them. Quickly finishing the conversation, he excused himself, saying that there was something he needed to attend to. Making his way from the VIP viewing area, he made his way down to where he found three of the blips together. Sending off another to confirm, he headed towards them, smiling and nodding at the attendees that were there.

He arrived at the same row that they were on and, surprisingly, found them on the end where he was at. Looking towards them, he said in a surprised voice, "Ah! Miss Forrest, what a pleasant surprise to see you here!"

"The same could be said with you, Professor," She replied.

"Wonderful! I always aim to surprise, though Glynda always tells me I'm not good with surprises," Ozpin said, then grew serious, "Though, there is something I wish to talk to you and your companions about. In private, if preferable."

Jade looked at him, while Silver and the other girl glanced at each other. "Okay?" Jade replied hesitantly. Silver shrugged and stood up, the other girl doing so, too. Shimmying their way out of the seats, they started following him through the crowds and towards his own private shuttle. They boarded and headed towards Beacon Tower, Ozpin's office. "So what was it that you wanted to talk to us about, Professor?" Jade asked.

Ozpin shook his head, "No, not here, the walls have ears, you know." They fell into silence. Ozpin sent out a little blip of magic, and only three blips responded back to him.

They landed and made their way towards the elevators. Ozpin waited until they had all filed in before pressing a certain sequence of numbers on the panel, before they started moving downwards. "Professor?" Jade asked, but Ozpin shook his head, quieting her. Ozpin glanced at Silver, only to see his eyes- silver at that- boring into him.

With Silver, his mind was racing- simulations of all possible futures coming up, then being discarded, each one with the main premise that Ozpin found out that he had magic. The elevator stopped and the doors opened, revealing a long, ornate corridor.

Jade was even more worried now, "Professor?" she asked once more.

Ozpin, for his part, just smiled and started walking forward. When he reached an unmarked designated spot, he spun around, smacking his cane on the ground, and used a bit of his magic to create a flash of light, which was reciprocated by all three of the visitors, each in their own way. Kira felt a chill in her arm, where it got minutely colder, Silver felt air coalescing in his palm, while Jade felt the dust motes in the air stir.

They each reacted in their own way, too. Silver immediately took on a combat stance, ready to draw the Infinity Blade at a moment's notice. Kira rubbed her colder right arm, shivering a bit. Jade twitched, the dust motes flowing a bit more fluidly. Ozpin just gained a smile, his suspicions confirmed. "What do you want, old man?" Silver asked, his voice cold.

"'Old man'?" Ozpin echoed, "Isn't that a little too harsh?"

"By Remnant's standards, then yeah, you're pretty old," Silver's eyes narrowed, "Older than recorded history."

"Oh? And how do you know that?"

"What do you want, Ozma?" Silver spoke his full, actual, name.

Ozpin reacted to that, twitching just the slightest bit. "Now, now, let's not get too hasty. I only came here to talk. And talk I will."

"If you're here to talk about Salem, then we already know about her. I want nothing to do with your little group, if that's also what you want."

"While that's surprising, that you know of her, that's not what I wish to talk about. I want to talk about how you came upon your magic."

Silver's stance relaxed just the slightest bit, before he clamped down on it and returned to normal. "What about it?"

"How you came about it."

Silver glanced at Jade, "What did you tell him about your origins? Does he know?"

She sighed, "Yeah, he knows. He knows that I'm from an alternate dimension."

Silver nodded, then relaxed his stance, coming to an Atleasian 'at ease' position. "Very well. The magic I came about when I was suddenly transported to this world by means unknown, two years ago. I discovered it by way of accident when I was trying to get away from some muggers a while back. I never messed with it again until I found Kira by pure chance."

Silver's mind was separating the different conclusions and Ideas that Ozpin could have faster than most people thought at, choosing each outcome and trying to pick the best one for all of them. While he hated telling Ozpin of this, he knew that Ozpin wouldn't stop until his curiosity was sated.

"I didn't want to be part of the story, only a side character that would get mentioned only once or twice, I found myself going out and doing things to the storyline. Altering bits here and there. Just today, I talked with Weiss and had her answer a phone call to her father which would have otherwise left her unable to use her money."

"Wait, that was you?" Jade asked suddenly.

"Yeah, what did you think I was doing, talking to Weiss for fun?"

Jade's shoulder's slumped, "I was wondering why. . ." she trailed off.

Silver shook his head, "Anyway, I plan on making changes for the better. And one of those, is not letting you die." Ozpin opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Silver, "I know that you reincarnate, Oz, but the rest of the world does not. You will die fighting a fully-powered evil Fall Maiden, the one who stole part of Amber's power. The morale of the entire world will fall, and with the destruction of Beacon, the CCT Towers will be cut off, kingdoms unable to contact each other. Tensions will rise and distrust will spread. Right now, there's a virus in your computer that will infect anything that comes into contact with it. If General Ironwood puts his Scroll onto your table, his files will be open for the false maiden's viewing. She will use the random opponent generator to her advantage, pitting Pyrrha and Penny against each other. One of her lackeys will use her semblance to make Pyrrha see more swords than there really is and send the few ten back towards Penny, causing her to tear herself apart, killing her. Then, Roman will free himself from his prison cell on the Atleasian ship and take over the AKs, making them fight our own people. Grimm will overrun Beacon, causing more panic and distress." Silver took a step forward, "The Dragon in Mountain Glenn will be set free, only to be frozen in stone by a child's activation of her Silver Eyes, by witnessing the slaughter of her friend in front of her own two eyes, helpless to save her." Silver took a deep breath, stepping back. "That is why I must change things. To change the future for the better. I had not done anything until now, because there was nothing to be done yet."

Ozpin stood there in silence, all of them stunned into it by Silver's rant. Slowly, Ozpin spoke, "That. . .is a lot to take in." Taking a deep breath- and ignoring Jade's snort- he looked at Silver, "Do you know what to do to prevent many of these things from happening?"

"Yes, and no. I can stop things only if I'm there. Possibly. The meeting you are going to have soon with Qrow, Ironwood, and Goodwitch, Ironwood will place his scroll onto your desk, giving the false maiden easy access to his files and programs. You cannot allow that to happen."

"Then what are you suggesting we do?"

"Either not let him set his scroll down on your desk, or you hold the meeting someplace else- like down here."

"Hmm. That could be arranged." Ozpin raised an eyebrow, "Would you be adverse to sitting in upon that meeting?"

Silver frowned, thinking. Sighing, he said, "No, I would not. Though I may hate it, it's about time I took an active role in the protection of this world."

"So does that mean-?"

Ozpin was cut off by Silver, "No, I will not join the Ozluminati."

Ozpin paused at that. "Ozluminati?" he asked hesitantly.

"It's the name we call your little group," Jade explained, "And before you ask, I'm not going to. Join up with the group, I mean. I just want to explore Remnant without having some secret mission hanging over me."

Ozpin looked at Kira, who just shook her head. Sighing, Ozpin spoke, "Very well. I respect your decision not to join. I know not everyone has the same investment in the survival of humanity that I do."

"Don't get me wrong, Professor, I very much want humanity- and Faunus kind- to survive. It's just that I don't want everything I do to have an ulterior motive."

Ozpin nodded sadly at Jade's explanation. "Very well. Just to let you know, my doors are always open. For advice or for training." Turning to Silver and Kira, he said, "This goes the same for the both of you, also." Relaxing out of the stance he had took, Ozpin started moving towards the elevator. "Come along, then, we wouldn't want to miss anymore fights."

Glancing at each other, the three of them followed after the eccentric headmaster.

Hrk-! T-the storyline- it-it's messed up.

Honestly, I really need to rewrite it now that i actually have a plan for things and how it all worked out when he first popped in, but hey, I'm not going to stop until Beacon Falls.
