Walking up to the imposing violet-colored castle, Tibalt couldn't help but smile feeling the absolute negativity emanating from the area. The journey hadn't been terribly long and only a few Grimm had crossed their path ending with their fading corpses.

Now at the destination, Tyrian was absolutely giddy with anticipation as he guided Tibalt through the corridors and hallways before entering a large circular room with vaulted ceilings and pillars, and a simple circular area that looked to be similar to an arena. Tibalt looked to his companion with an arched eyebrow before the scorpion Faunus, as he had found out, moved forward saying, "My dear friend, I must ask you to wait here until my mistress may see you. She is a busy woman and does not get many visitors. Pray you be patient."

The reverence in his voice when speaking of this mistress had Tibalt continuously curious before smiling saying, "I understand completely, Tyrian. I am excited to meet her."

With a smile and clap, he moved away as the devil man simply strode around the room his tail exposed as it slowly swayed with his step as his red and amber eyes glazed over the lovely architecture as he felt at home in the Victorian styles. Not long after the doors opened as Tyrian entered with a lowered head and gesturing in as he said, "This is the guest I spoke of my Goddess~"

Turning to view the new person, Tibalt was struck by how powerful this particular person was. Every person he had come across held a certain spark within them, not like his own planeswalker spark mind you, but a hidden fire that craved to be unlocked. This person, a lovely woman with peerless white skin and equally white hair done up in a unique bun style not dissimilar to a spider with black eyes and red irises, the fierce energy behind them and the raw emotions she wielded behind her cold visage all caused Tibalt to shudder with anticipation.

Slowly gliding over the floor in her flawless stride, Salem observed the unique looking human. He didn't appear to be Faunus nor appear to be human. Finally considering him of some interest she spoke saying, "Tyrian here tells me you wield magic. Please explain."

The cold regality of her voice reminded Tibalt of Avacyn of his home plane. Yet, it had a true malice hidden behind the cold. It was so exciting. Tibalt then gave her a gentle bow saying, "My lady, Tyrian speaks true. My name is Tibalt, should it please you. I am an empath and I wield red and black mana to cast my spells."

He gazed up at her and saw a hint of recognition and a deep resonating surprise as she said quietly, "Tyrian, leave us." Before the man could question it, Salem sent one red iris towards him which caused the man to bow and slowly exit the room shutting the door.

As he left, a telekinetic force grabbed hold of Tibalt and lifted him into the air. "How do you even know that word?!"

The calmness had left her features now raw fury washed over the Planeswalker as she said "I will give you one chance. Who is Ozpin to you?"

The absolute hatred and malice emanating from her was something that Tibalt had never felt even when he ignited and experienced the suffering of his entire former test subjects… this was an ancient anger. An anger only capable of someone truly beyond human. It was amazing. "I do not know anyone by the name Ozpin, how I know of mana?"

Instead of speaking, he drew out some of his limited mana supply and brought out a miasma of black and red mist. As it descended to the floor, the spotless violet tiles burned and corroded upon contact with the mist. This act caused Salem to slowly lower him to the ground before asking, "Where are you from? Magic is limited within this world. Only I and a select few wield it."

"I am a planeswalker, I am not from this plane. And as such, I am not accustomed to how the Leylines are here. How do you cast magic so freely?" The light sweat upon his brow showed how draining such a simple spell was and Salem simply smiled before gliding forward. "One of the few good things I have learned from observing Ozpin and the Maidens, as well as my own abilities after the gods left. I will unlock what is known as Aura to the people of this plane, it is what allows magic to continue to flow without the Leylines."

Moving forward, Salem reached out and placed a finger to Tibalt's chest as black miasma slowly rose from her exposed veins as it flowed into the Planeswalker. He could feel its destructive properties as it latched onto his soul and spark bringing it out with blissful agony to the devil man as Salem began to chant, "For it is passing immortality that we rise. Through this we become Pinnacles of Conquest, Domination to control all, I consume your soul and by my hand command thee."

As she finished, a dark crimson light escaped Tibalt's eyes as his Aura sprang to life. Pulling back, Salem smiled at him as the planeswalker could feel the energy he spent slowly flourishing again within him from the activation of his Aura. Tibalt took a deep breath then he looked at Salem and smiled saying "I never got your name madam~"

"Salem." Smiling, she replied at the new ally she made. She turned before Tibalt said "it is wonderful to meet you, Salem. I think it would be interesting for you to know. A place called Beacon has several planeswalkers of their own there now. I have fought each of them, and I believe we could be great allies in removing this problem."

Whirling on the spot, Salem glared hard into the air before her stoic demeanor returned as she smiled saying "My dear Tibalt. I believe you have a wonderful point. Please tell my group about what we will face, and perhaps if you know other planeswalkers that would be able to join us."

With a sickeningly devious smile, Tibalt gave another dramatic bow before saying, "Why, my lady Salem, it would be my pleasure."

"Then follow me. Plans are to be made." She then moved forward. She opened the doors and Tyrian looked in, smiling at seeing Tibalt still alive. He was curious, nonetheless, and followed Salem before she commanded, "Tyrian, call the others. We have a new ally that should be introduced."

Giggling a bit, Tyrian bowed saying, "It shall be done mistress~!"

Over the next three and a half years on Remnant, the planeswalkers moved along with their sides of the shadow war between the wizard Ozpin and the witch Salem. At Beacon, the four other members of Gatewatch blended into the staff and easily became friends with their coworkers. They were also by some students more than others.

Ajani, becoming the military strategy teacher, took over the class from Peter Port was a decision not taken very well by the large man. However, after talking and trading tales of grandeur, although Ajani's were much more humble, Peter approved of the now Lion Faunus and even quickly gained a joking friendship with him. Ajani also became the subject of interest for Professor Mulberry, or more specifically his dual ended war axe Nacatl Pride. The weapon enthusiast called the blades, tribal, beautiful, as well as other-worldly sharp objects that Ajani simply tried to teach the techniques, but Ajani was never a smith. The students also enjoyed his calm telling of stories and even some of the racist students respected him after the first few lectures and studies.

Chandra held her class within a very fortified classroom. Her classroom became this way after she exploded it three times, much to Glynda's annoyance and Liliana always telling them "I told you so". By far and by most of the student population hers was the most exciting class seconded only by combat class. Surprisingly, Bartholomew and Chandra got along splendidly. They were able to keep up with each other intellectually, both having a deep appreciation for coffee (Oobleck, and Chandra unofficially making a "coffee club" with some students so they can all indulge when Glynda isn't looking), as well as both using fire based weaponry as

Chandra's weapon, named Kaladesh Phoenix, was a dual flamethrower and short sword gauntlets.

Nissa made fast friends with Thumbelina Peach over their love of botany and the natural world. Her own weapon was something of interest to Mulberry as well as her staff which the top twisted conical shape would morph into a handle allowing her to pull out a thin bladed basket hilt rapier she calls Joraga Honor.

Finally, Jace was getting along well with everyone. His previous relationship with Liliana left a bit of tension at times, especially since he could hear her thoughts and everyone else's as well. Even though many students found him distant at times, it didn't stop them from opening up about inter team woes and issues, helping many of them in the process. His own weapon crafted by Mulberry as he said "a Huntsman must always have a weapon and be ready to use it"

So even though, much to his chagrin, he now wielded a simple revolver he named Vryn's Ingenuity. And with each planeswalker made Remnant their main home as not much else was happening in the multiverse beyond normal woes and triumphs. Each of them began to adopt a Remnant style as they were allowed to travel as they saw fit over the summer breaks.

Ajani had spent most of his time in Menagerie, meeting other Faunus and making friends. He made a camaraderie with the chief of Kuo Kuana, Ghira. Meeting him, he learned much about the current affairs of the Faunus- and by extension the White Fang. Adopting similar attire, he had a simple open olive-green tunic with the symbol of Naya embroidered on the back with darker green edges, plain dark brown pants, black boots, and his white tattered cape from his departed friend.

Chandra had kept a similar style to how she normally dresses which thankfully fits in well in Vale. She wears a bright red shirt, a darker red jacket with sleeves to her forearms, fingerless gloves, the silver rounded pauldrons she always wears, tight brown leather pants, boots, and her goggles held up on her forehead at almost all times.

Nissa took a liking to Mistral style and honor, reminding her of her home land adopting a simple and somewhat short green dress ending around her mid-thigh, a small dovetail skirt going to her knees and detached sleeves, with bracers and thigh high boots under the flowing material that gave her great freedom of movement. Jace changed the least, keeping his hooded jacket from his time on Innistrad while adopting a simple dress shirt and pants.

Within the Grimm lands Salem and her forces had gone through some changes with Tibalt among their number and acting as another hitman in a similar fashion as Tyrian, however he also was sent out to take down whole villages. His abilities for empathic attacks boosted the numbers of Grimm in certain frontier villages, even wiping many off the map as he would cause mass hysteria and within the past four years he has garnered enough of a reputation to have a story or two whispered in taverns, a red skinned devil arrives and the village would fall to the black Grimm in no more than five days. Each and every time he would relish in the maelstrom of emotions and feelings from people. Within the inner circle he was close friends with Tyrian (or at least the closest two sadistic psychopaths could be to friends), Cinder was actually somewhat unnerved by the Planeswalker even more so then Tyrian, Hazel had seen him work and the quiet giant held the Devil in some respect but despised his less then clean methods, Watts saw him as just another psychopath within the repertoire of Salem's forces, a mad dog with a purpose. Through the four years, Salem even sent Tibalt out into the multiverse to seek more allies, and to the horror of Remnant, he brought back two.

The first one that Tibalt had come back with was a middle aged looking man with grey dreadlocks, well dressed, and a metal arm that was comprised of some sort of liquid like metallic substance that seemed static but was mutable enough to put the most advanced Atlas cybernetics to shame, his name was Tezzeret, he wore a long ornate red and bronze over coat over a simple white shirt and black pants. He was a mechanical and metallurgical genius as Watts, they became fast "friends" being able to keep up with each other at an intellectual level beyond any other. Upon unlocking his Aura Tezzeret felt a great need to understand its function and learning about the Relics, his interest was truly captured. He made a deal with the ancient immortal woman, for his artificer abilities he was allowed to experiment on each Relic they gain as the plans moved along.

The second ally was an even stranger individual, Dovan Baan, a Vedalken as he calls himself. Pure blue skin and red sclera with crimson irises, thin and lanky though always well dressed in robes and metallic shoulder pads, high collar, and braces. Obsessed with perfection, he took one look around at the location and nearly twitched, his scarred eyes surveying the location before landing on Salem and he simply knelt saying such things as "I have only seen perfection once before" or "never before have I seen a being bound to one plane to be perfect". It was clear his near instant attachment to Salem it even made Tyrian jealous at times, even if the psychopath agreed with him, and annoyed Tezzeret to no end, the others within Salem's inner circle held Dovan in different ways, Cinder was amused with him and even listened to his "criticism" of her fighting style until he called it "good enough". Hazel did not care for him but remained the eternal stoic giant he ever was. Watts was greatly annoyed by the Vedalken planeswalker, as Dovan mocked his and Tezzeret's works continuously calling out every slight imperfection within each machine and each program.

Through the four years, both sides moved in equal portions, Nissa would periodically move through the world and attempt to heal pieces of the leylines. It was a slow and energy consuming process, the leylines within Beacon and the other three academies actually showed signs of restoration, but with each Grimm that would enter the space, they would deteriorate again causing no end of pain to Nissa.

The years progressed and the restoration of Beacons leylines came along better than any other location as Nissa's almost constant presence allowed them to regain some mana, not enough to be felt by anyone but the ancient wizard and the animist but it was progress. Now with the new school year a week out the elf sat in her new apartment, within the same building as her fellow planeswalkers. The others would return soon, she had seen Jace the day before and Chandra was probably already at beacon either chugging coffee with Oobleck or setting something on fire. None the less, she got dressed and went to see Jace, knocking on his door at almost eight in the morning was her simply being polite as the door opened revealing the still tired looking mind mage who yawned saying "Oh, good morning Nissa. How can I help you?"

Disheveled hair and loose clothes showed that despite being a mind mage he had a routine that kept him in shape as he did have to keep up with Huntsmen in training now, it wouldn't do to have an out of shape teacher. "Yes, I was wondering if you would accompany me to Beacon this morning. Did you receive the message from Ozpin?"

Taking a moment to yawn and clear his eyes, Jace nodded saying, "Yes I did. Come on in and let me get dressed, we can see if we can keep Chandra from blowing up the mess hall… again."

Giving a lighthearted giggle, Nissa nodded before walking in as she looked around, she saw the differences between their apartments. She kept her place open and well-lit with several small plants and gardens, even a few awakened plants and a small elemental allowed to stay functioning as her abilities melded well with her semblance. Jace's apartment was somewhat of a mess, maps, notes, charts and many other kinds of papers. A desk overflowing with papers, either student files so he can learn about the incoming first years and other small assignments, a kitchen that was in a bit of disarray, and looking through the door Jace went through she saw a perfectly immaculate bedroom, and looking at the desk again she noticed many papers were crumpled as if someone had slept on them and she simply shook her head at Jace's habits. After a few minutes, Jace walked back out in fresh clothes and his hair slightly fixed as he smiled saying "So shall we?"

Nodding, Nissa walked out and with Jace in tow, the two planeswalkers made idle chat on how the summer went until at Beacon. Nissa looked towards the tower of Beacon with a sad look as Jace read her thoughts for a second before placing a hand on her shoulder saying "There is nothing we can do for her right now. Qrow got there as soon as he could, at least she is alive right now. And with Liliana helping with her magic she will recover."

"Yes, of course. Still for such a young one to deal with such danger alone…" Sighing, Nissa looked back at Jace before he said "honestly we were all probably younger than her when our sparks ignited, remember that, she's strong… anyway, what do you think the cooks have ma-"

KA-BOOM

A deep sigh escaped the elf as she looked towards the mess hall, now with darkened windows as she says, "At least we now know that Chandra is definitely back… shall we go and rescue her before Glynda finds her?"

Jace chuckled and simply nods before moving forward before seeing cooks and upper classmen that came back to Beacon early all outside the doors as dark smoke slowly billowed from a busted window and the doors. Chandra slowly came from the direction of the window seeing Jace and Nissa, the young pyromancer lifted her goggles putting them in her blasted back hair above her soot covered face, which gave her a perfect outline of her goggles around her eyes, while giving them a bright smile she said, "What's up guys? When did you get back Jace?"

Hearing the red heads voice, the cooks couldn't hold back glares while coughing as Jace sighed as he could hear the rather colorful language that didn't flow from their tongues before he said "I have been back for a few days, what did you do?"

"Hmm? Oh that, hehe just a minor accident. I didn't realize one of the crystals was cracked before I tried to implement it into an experiment." Her happy go lucky attitude never ceased before her smile froze on her face as a dark outline surrounded her as a very irated Glynda Goodwitch and an amused looking Ozpin. "Miss Nalaar. How many times must we tell you…? Experiments are done in your lab not the cafeteria."

Her tone was icy and firm, but the bulging vein in her forehead showed how thin her patience with this… common occurrence? Some of the upper classmen that have returned early cough to the side while avoiding the pressure of Miss Goodwitch as she levitates Chandra to the side to give her another scolding as if she was a student. One particular rabbit Faunus runs over to her team and helps them wipe off the soot even as one beret wearing second year on her team pulls off her sunglasses as she levels a light glare at the pyromancer. Jace listens in to her and hears "dammit teach, I love your class but come on, it takes forever to clean my clothes after these explosions."

Jace simply chuckles as Ozpin approaches the other two planeswalkers saying, "Welcome back, friends. How were your travels over the summer?"

The enigmatic man slowly sipped on his enchanted mug of eternal hot chocolate while holding his cane in his free hand as Nissa gave him a smile saying "It went well, Lionheart was kind enough to let me try and help over in Haven, but as always something is keeping my efforts from holding."

"The other places are still as quiet as ever; some are recovering from the issues four years ago while others are simply moving along… it has me worried about what may be coming." Jace said quietly while they begin to move towards the tower where a large dark-skinned now lion Faunus smiles at the group approaching as he opens his arms letting his cloak open and flutter behind him as he shouts, "Friends! It is good to see you each in good health!"

"Ajani, when did you get back?" Chandra says while Glynda still held her in a telekinetic hold floating her towards the tower as Jace gives him a handshake gripping each other's forearms before the large man says "only an hour or so ago, I wished to meet you all here… what did you do this time friend Chandra?"

Smiling awkwardly and a chuckle comes from her as Jace says, "She caused another explosion in the cafeteria."

"Haha! Friend Chandra, please give friend Glynda at least a week into the school year before you do such things. The year has yet to begin." Glynda couldn't help but sigh as she knew it was inevitable for her to do such but wish that she could at least have one calm week. The ride up the tower was a little cramped but entering Ozpin's office they are greeted by the rest of the staff as Chandra is dropped onto the floor while Ozpin says to all of them "Alright everyone, I am sure that you do not wish the summer vacation to end as much as the students."

A low mumble of agreeance came from Chandra and Port while the others stayed quiet before Ozpin continues "but we do have to make the final preparations, the new students will be coming in a few days. But the main reason I wished to have this meeting was to catch up on current events, Glynda?"

Nodding, Glynda pulled up her Scroll and tapped some buttons as a hologram screen came up as she began to prepare them. "There has been a recent slew of major robberies of Dust stores here in Vale. It may be just some minor thief but, the reason I brought this to our attention is the size and regularity of these thefts. There has been no less then perhaps five to six tons of Dust, rounds, powder, and crystals that has gone missing from stores. There have also been the local rumors of a red-skinned devil that are becoming more common, along with a small increase of frontier towns in our territory going dark almost overnight. The worst part is the survivors of the attacks all talk about this red-skinned devil, those are the lucky ones, some have also been put into mental hospitals from going insane. Many have taken their own life, the notes left all say something similar 'The devil's pain won't stop, maybe this will'. That was the most recent message found by staff. Then the largest issue is we have been forced to send huntsman out to dispatch the increase in Grimm activity around such locations."

Listening intently, the planeswalkers, beside Liliana, reacted to the description of the "devil man", especially Chandra which does not go unnoticed by the others as Ozpin says, "Do you know something Chandra?"

"Yes, I do. If this 'devil' is who I think it might be, he is a powerful enemy. He enjoys torture and causing as much pain and suffering for no other reason than to feed his Semblance which I believe to be a form of empathy, he enjoys feeling the pain of others." As she spoke, she began to shake as Ann Greene speaks up saying "Disgusting. Unfortunately, my own contacts in the underground have as much as us on this 'devil', but there has also been movement in the arms market recently. There appears to be a new shadow dealer working in highly advanced tech. I have yet to meet a buyer or a contact that has anything on this new dealer, so I know he runs a tight ship. None the less this new player is making waves, and I don't like it."

Crossing his hands in front of his face Ozpin ponders as Jace's eyes narrow somewhat at the talk of the new player, before Ozpin speaks up saying "Thank you for everything you have told us Ann, Chandra. For now, I want each of you to return to your classes and prepare for the new students. Chandra, Jace, Ajani, Liliana, Nissa, if you five could stay back. I would like to give you all a small refresher."

His tone went from serious to somewhat lighthearted as the more veteran teachers walked, in Oobleck's case, he zoomed, to the elevator before the planeswalkers were alone as Ozpin then said, "This devil man, is he a planeswalker?"

Chandra nodded before saying "His name is Tibalt, he assisted us temporarily during the War of the Spark. After he targeted me for the pain, I felt after Gideon Jura died, and then he went after my mother… I wish I had incinerated him when I could."

Gritting her teeth as her Aura allowed for mana to flow somewhat as her hair lit aflame for a moment before Ajani laid a hand on her shoulder saying "Friend Chandra, you know he is uniquely suited against you. And he is a powerful mage and a truly sadistic predator. On this plane he would be a Grimm magnet simply from the sheer negativity he himself exudes."

The large hand gently gripped Chandra's shoulder as her red hair slowly lowered as the flames extinguished as she gently patted his knuckles nodding a thanks. Jace then stepped forward "I would like to speak with Ann about this 'new player'. The way she described him however brief it was… reminds me of a particular artificer we have all faced before. Tezzeret, He was one of Nicol Bolas's servants and a true master manipulator. If he is here, he will cause issues."

Ozpin nodded and looked over his fellow planeswalkers before saying "Alright Jace, tell Ann I would like for you and her to look into this. Chandra should anymore news of this Tibalt character appear, I will tell you personally first. You all may go about what you wish to do before school is back in session."

Giving a serious look, he then takes a sip as the more colorful planeswalkers walk to the elevator, Liliana staying behind saying, "I'll catch up to you all, don't worry."

Receiving nods from the others, they enter the elevator for a moment before Ozpin gives a playful smirk saying, "Oh and Chandra please don't blow anything else up today."

"Come on, it was an accident!" The pyromancer whines before the door closes with Ajani's booming laugh being heard as the elderly mage looks over to the necromancer saying, "Yes, Liliana?"

"Thank you." The raven-haired beauty gives a small bow of her head before Ozpin arches an eyebrow saying, "What for?"

"You gave me shelter and assisted me. I know it has been several years since I joined you all, same for the others but… just thank you." Giving a sagely smile, Ozpin stands up before turning around towards the window sipping on his hot chocolate saying "I believe everyone deserves a second chance to prove they have changed. You have become an invaluable member of my staff and inner circle Liliana, never forget that. Go on I'm sure there will be someone waiting in the infirmary at sometime today with Chandra back."

Giving a lighthearted chuckle, she nods saying, "Yes, I guess you're right. Until later, Headmaster."

Walking out of the office and riding the elevator down. When Liliana walked out of the elevator, she accidently walked into Jace who gave her a soft smirk as she says "Yes?"

"Nothing, just thought you could use some company." Smiling and rolling her eyes, Liliana nods before saying "Thank you, Jace."

Walking forward they re-enter Beacon's halls. The week went by without much being found out on any sides. Tibalt appeared to be quiet or at least no towns had gone dark recently or within the week. The 'new player' stayed quiet as well. However, another robbery happened in the middle of the week and Beacon's older students continued to come in from around Remnant as many of the new students began to fill hotels around the city. And on Sunday, it was going rather normally, Liliana and Glynda were both out at a simple wine bar chuckling to each other over some joke as Liliana then said "Glynda, I truly envy you. You kept your sanity while dealing with Port and Ozpin for how many years before I arrived?"

"Ugh don't remind me of the time before you arrived. It was so hard being the only sane staff member. And at least Port has found a decent friend in your companion Ajani." The blonde-haired teacher sighed while rubbing the bridge of her nose before taking a sip of the white wine she was enjoying, while Liliana held a glass of red for herself saying. Lilliana then said, "Now if we could just stop him from flirting with all the girls. I swear that man may be a Huntsman, but he has no self-control. What am I saying, at least he's a decent teacher… unlike that agitating Qrow."

The blonde woman then pat Liliana on the shoulder saying "I'm sorry I didn't warn you about that old buzzard. At least Ozpin hasn't pulled anything truly crazy with the student registration this-"

Before she could finish her sentence, a loud squealing sound echoed through the bar before an explosion was heard as she said "…year. Why me?!"

"Well we better go and see what's going on." Liliana patted her bespectacled colleague before they walked away leaving some Lien for the bartender. Making their way up the street, Liliana noticed a flash of red and heard a Bullhead moving towards the end of the buildings near them as Glynda's expression hardened nodding to Liliana they both launched forward. Enhancing their legs with Aura, they launched up Liliana landing behind a small girl wearing a red cloak as the infamous thief Roman Torchwick was laughing as he had thrown a red dust crystal and fired upon it. Luckily, Glynda had landed in front of the girl with a purple dust sigil of her own blocking the flames from reaching the young woman. Liliana smirked as she saw Roman's shocked expression before the Huntress and mage each used their weapons, with the use of Dust and Glynda's telekinesis they both blasted the Bullhead with lightning and frozen spikes. A moment later, a feminine figure appeared blanketed in the shadow of the Bullhead Liliana and Glynda both unable to make out any major details beyond a female figure. The figure then used Dust and magic which caused Liliana's eyes to widen as she felt the presence of mana inside her sigils as she pushed the younger woman back noticing the growing sigil on the ground while Glynda prepared to defend. As the figure launched a small blast of fire towards Glynda the older woman easily deflected the blast but ignited the sigil, as it caused an explosion Liliana smirked seeing her friend fine as she began to manipulate the destroyed pieces of roof sending her spear of concrete towards the Bullhead. As she did, Liliana began to launch her own attacks with bolts of gravity Dust towards the Bullhead hitting an engine while the figure began to launch a counterattack. Her blasts of fire Dust imbued with red mana giving the power needed to stop Glynda's spear and the blasts temporarily before the Bullhead leaned to the side letting the reconstituted spear to blow apart against the steel hull. For a moment, Glynda created three tentacles like spears ready to take down the Bullhead before the hidden figure weaved a large Dust sigil and imbued it with more mana causing Liliana to grit her teeth watched the wave of energy to destroy the concrete spears. The young girl slipped by Liliana for a moment before her large mechanical scythe shifted into a sniper rifle as she began to fire rounds at the assailants before the woman summoned multiple sigils around the three woman on the roof causing Liliana to quickly move in front of the two, her old contract lines beginning to glow with her Aura as her eyes shined with purple light. As she wove her limited supply of mana quickly using a spell to counter the explosion sigil's mana, leaving them inert, leaving her sweating badly and panting nearly on her knees as Glynda moved up to help her friend as the young girl fired a few more shots at the fleeing Bullhead. As it flew away, Glynda turned to the young woman who looked at the two women with stars in her eyes saying, "You two are Huntresses… could I have your autographs!"

The young girl was smiling and grinning as Glynda sighed before taking her away from Liliana who took a moment to regain herself. Taking the moment, she needs, Liliana looks off towards where the Bullhead flew off and would make note to tell Ozpin, first to safe the young girl from Glynda's clutches.

Over the next hour or so, the three women were brought to the police station. Liliana and the young girl, who had said her name was Ruby based on what Liliana had heard from the police, had been looked over by paramedics with Liliana been given some water and told to take it easy and that her Aura would help with any exhaustion. Walking into the interview room Liliana watched as Glynda slowly paced in front of Ruby as she looked like a defeated puppy while Glynda spoke saying "What you pulled young lady was incredibly dangerous, you put yourself and many others in peril."

"They started it!" Ruby responded in a voice that reminded her of how she was as a young child before Glynda continued "If it was up to me, you'd be sent home with a pat on the back…"

Liliana sighed seeing Ruby perk up knowing this was a typical Glynda tactic as she slammed her crop against the table saying, "And a slap on the wrist."

As the snapping sound of the riding crop tore through the momentary silence Ruby yelped and backed up, Liliana couldn't help but think it was adorable, like a puppy, before shaking her head thinking to herself she was no longer the evil necromancer that enjoyed manipulating people as Glynda said "but… there is someone that would like to speak to you."

As she said that Liliana saw Ozpin walk in with a tray of cookies, which Liliana quietly snagged one gaining a look from Glynda and in response she simply shrugged gently biting the chocolaty goodness as Ozpin spoke saying "Ruby Rose… you, have silver eyes"

"U-um." Was the only response Ruby could come up with as Liliana stood to Ozpins side opposite of Glynda as she quietly chewed on her pilfered cookie while seeing a video of the younger girl fighting with the giant scythe as Ozpin continued saying "So. Where did you learn to fight like this?"

"S-signal academy." Liliana had visited the small island based school once or twice before. It was nice, though she wished that blonde teacher had not tried to flirt with her at every moment they spoke. "They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"

"Well, one teacher in particular," Ozpin nodded as he sat the tray in front of Ruby saying, "I see."

As he did Ruby bit into one before quickly inhaling the whole tray which genuinely impressed Liliana as Glynda sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose as Ozpin went onto say "It's simply I have only known one other Scythe wielder of such a caliber. A dusty old Qrow."

Liliana shivered thinking of that drunkard as Glynda shot her a sympathetic look before Ruby spoke in a muffled voice saying "mm- datsh muh unfle."

This caused Ozpin to raise an eyebrow, Liliana to chuckle, earn a light smack from Glynda, and a blush of embasserment from Ruby before she swallowed and said "Sorry, that's my uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at Signal. I was total garbage before he took me under his wing and taught me how to use a scythe. And now I'm all, hu-wa hee-ya ooo-wah."

As she made silly noises, she waved her hands around mimicking martial arts moves as Ozpin says "So I've noticed. So, what is an adorable girl like yourself doing at a school aimed to train warriors?"

"Well, I want to be a Huntress. Like them." Gesturing to Liliana and Glynda before Ozpin said, "You want to slay monsters?"

"Well yeah, I only have two more years at Signal, then I plan on applying to Beacon. My sister is starting there this year, she's trying to become a Huntress. And well I'm trying to become a Huntress because I want to help people, I mean, I might as well make a career out of it. I mean police and firefighters are great and all but Huntsmen and Huntresses are so much more awesome, cooler, and romantic and just oh gosh you know!" her speech becoming faster and faster with each sentence giving Liliana a smile at the naïve enthusiasm while Glynda gave a deadpan look before Ozpin said "Do you know who I am?"

"You're Professor Ozpin, the headmaster at Beacon."

"Hello."

"Nice to meet you."

"You wish to go to my school?" Ozpin leaned in to gauge her response as Liliana heard the words before Ruby said them "More than anything, Sir."

Looking towards his two coworkers the old man smiled as Glynda rolled her eyes while Liliana shrugged as he said, "Well, alright then."

This prompted Ruby to shoot up and do a little dance as Ozpin got up and walked away while Glynda went into telling her what to do, though Liliana could hear and almost feel her annoyance at such a big change the day before school. Lots of paperwork stood ahead of her, so much for girls' night. Walking out of the room Liliana approached Ozpin saying "Oz, there was something weird about the encounter tonight."

Raising an eyebrow Ozpin nodded for her to continue as she said "There was a second person with Roman. They could use mana."

That certainly got Ozpin's attention saying, "then that means the queen is involved."

Whispering their conversation, the two planeswalkers made their way back to Beacon to inform the others to look out for such things. Ozpin then looked up at the shattered moon thinking silently to himself thinking without a doubt this year will be interesting it seems.

So yeah, I am very proud of how long this chapter was. I just couldnt stop writing, I love it when that happens its a wonderful feeling when you find your groove and you just start flowing. Anyway onto a very interesting topic, Pairings. perhaps I have a few ideas perhaps this will go without pairing... Nah, I'd love to hear suggestions, even if this is early... I will also say things will become very interesting later so if you want to wait to suggest anything I will understand but I'd love to hear about ideas for the planeswalkers I have introduced and for the canon characters.

The Baz: That is the exact reason for that friendship. Just let the world burn as they cackle over a glass of what we all hope is wine. And trust me, noone is more happy about the attention then I am. also if you want to PM me a link, I'm curious

Welp, until next time all, this Celt is out.
