Ruby wakes up, she holds her head in pain as she looks around her surroundings, she was sitting in some type of vehicle that she has no trouble recognizing, the ship to beacon, she looks two her front at the group of people that she soon remembered to be her classmates and looks to see her beloved sister sleeping on her shoulder while drooling and mumbling Percival's name "Yang... Yang wake up!" She says while softly tapping her sisters cheek making her slowly open her eyes as she yawns "What's the hurry Rubes?... did Weiss burned the toaster again?..." she mumbles while rubbing her eyes softly "I think it worked..." whispers Ruby while looking around the ship for Weiss and Blake but also for Percival.

Yang finally snaps out of her drowsiness and remembers all that happened just a few moments ago "How can we be sure that we were sent to the right time?..." she asks only to turn to see a green faced Jaune slowly turning to them. Ruby and Yang instantly pale as the memory of what happened last time came back to them "Oh Gods No..." they whisper at the same time only to have Jaune puke all over them once again, "GROSS, GROSS, GROOOOOSSSSS!" Scream Yang and Ruby.

-Meanwhile-

Ozpin slowly wakes up from sleeping peacefully in his desk, he yawns as he softly stretches and rubs his eyes trying to remain awake, he on instinct takes his cup of coffee and has a small sip, the memories of the future instantly slaps him across the face as he spits out all of the coffee in his mouth "God Dammnit!" He yells as he drops the mug and spills the hot coffee all over his clothes. He screams again as the coffee burns his legs and stomach, he hears someone burst into his office and his war instincts kick in, as he immediately takes his cane and prepares to attack, only to see a person he didn't thought he would see ever again.

"Professor Ozpin! Is everything ok?!" Yells his assistant Glynda Goodwitch as she burst in the door with her weapon at the ready, Ozpin stares at her shocked as he drops his cane and rushes to hug her tightly, the memory of seeing her die in the war still fresh on his mind, a tear threaten to escape his eye as he couldn't help but to smile from seeing his dear assistant again.

Glynda instantly blushes and starts to squirm away from Ozpin's arms "W-What's gotten into you?!" She screams as she immediately starts to beat him senseless with her riding crop, making him scream for mercy.

-Two minutes later-

Ozpin sat on his desk with a fresh pair of clothes and some bandages beneath them as a slightly flustered and really angry Glynda stares him down "a-anyway... while I'm glad you are excited for the first day of school, you better not slack off now!" She yells at him as he relaxes in his chair, his eyes widened as he heard her "WHAT DAY IS IT TODAY?!" He screamed only for Glynda to hit him across the head again "Calm down for god's sake!" She yelled once again and sighed "You forgot didn't you? Today we begin classes... your son is coming as well as that younger girl you insisted on enrolling" Ozpin looks at the calendar in his desk "What do you plan to do with your son? I don't think he would like to see you a lot..." she says as Ozpin remembers what he said last time 'I'll just treat him like any other student and let him live his life' he thought as a shiver went down his spine, he was not going to make that mistake again "I'm going to enjoy every moment and make sure he knows I'm there for him... I have to repair the bond we used to have" his answer clearly surprise Glynda as she smiles proudly at him "I'm glad to hear that, I was fearing you were going to leave him by himself and just wait for him to come to you, It's a relief to know you'll be the one taking the step forwards" she says with a proud tone in her voice as Ozpin chuckles "I'll have you know that I'm not that lazy!" He says with a smirk 'At least not this time...' he thought as he remembers Percival sacrificing himself to Yog-Sothoth.

Glynda however fells annoyed by his statement "Then I'm sure you remembered to assign his dorm this time, right?..." she asked as Ozpin froze and took Percival's file from his desk only to reveal to her that he in fact didn't, making him receive another smack to the head.

-Back in the ship-

The girls had finally landed, the students spread as they head towards the academy, Ruby was looking around for any sign of her friends or future husband as Yang cries silently in a corner while shaking puke off her shoe "I think you are over reacting" says Ruby while ignoring her sister and looking towards the crowd, Yang glares at her as she continues to shake off her shoe "It happened TWO times already! And I really liked these shoes! Percy had to buy me a new pair in our anniversary and Jaune poured wine in them!" She complains as she finally stands up and walks to Ruby "You've seen them yet?" Asks Yang as Ruby sighs and shakes her head "No... Wait... maybe if we do as we did back then..." she says as she begins to walk towards the entrance only to see Weiss standing there trying to look for them.

"There you are!" Screams Blake from one side of the crowd as she noticed Ruby and Yang, Weiss turned to look at her only notice Ruby and Yang as well. The four girls all hurry towards each other and share a big group hug, the other students stare at them with weirded out looks but shook it aside when they saw that the girls couldn't care less.

"Have any of you seen him?" Asks Blake as the girls let go of the hug "I've been looking for his stupid white hair all morning!" Yells an annoyed Weiss as she sighs in irritation.

"Stupidly Handsome, you mean" said Yang with a smirk in order to make her blush, She easily succeeded as Weiss went bright red. "Maybe Ozpin saw him!" Says Ruby as she notices how small she is compared to the others "awww, I remembered why Ihate being fifteen!" She complains as the rest of the group giggle "Look on the bright side Ruby; at least you didn't explode this time!" Says Yang as they all remember "Oh that's right!" Exclaim Weiss as she pulls out the same Dust pieces she had back then "I bet they will be useful if Ruby isn't such a natural disaster this time!" She says happily as Ruby glares at her annoyed "I'm not a natural disaster!" She says flaying her arms around rather cutely with an adorable expression on her face as tiny chibi tears got on her eyes "Don't go blaming me about them exploding! All I did was touch them!" She says reaching forward to grab them "Ruby, Don't touch that!" Screamed Yang trying to stop her sister but it was too late.

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOM! A giant Dust explosion covers a good chunk of the entrance with four girl's screams being heard all around the academy as the explosion happened.

-Five minutes later-

The four future brides were sitting together in the entrance ceremony, their bodies and clothes covered in black ash with different expressions on their faces. Blake has a blank expression but her eyes revealed a slight hint of annoyance, Yang has her usual happy expression as if nothing had happened at all, Weiss was glaring rather intensely yet coldly and Ruby is hiding her face with her hood as she tries to escape Weiss glares and trying not to cry out of embarrassment.

Glynda is glaring at them from her position at the podium, Ozpin tries not to burst out loud from laughing at the girls as he tries to look for Percival around the crowd of students but he could not see any form of white hair in the surrounding area, worrying that something may have happened to him.

He lets out a sigh as he decides to simply begin the presentation to the students, he figures that Percival was either hiding from him or late, he would get Glynda to look for him after the introduction.

Ozpin was about to speak until another explosion began, away from the school, everyone turns to the window were a black cloud of smoke could be seen rising on the distance, all the students were wondering what could have happened to cause such an explosion but the faint tone of blue that the smoke has only given the answer to RWBY and Ozpin

"Percival..." they all thought at the same time with a relieved smile and knew he was probably crafting a weapon by now.

-Meanwhile-

A window was opened on a nearby building, more of the bluish black smoke burst out as a hand started to try and wave the smoke away, a young man could be heard coughing a lung out as the smoke slowly dissipated, his round glasses were replaced with forging goggles, his blue coat hang next to the door as he wore a leather apron as well as heavy duty leather gloves.

"Well -cough- I guess the gauntlet is ready..." he says as he walks towards an improvised work bench, were a gauntlet was the source of all the smoke, Percival sighed as he takes a pair of thongs from his bag and picks his creation from the bench to a nearby bucket of water. A loud hiss came out of the red hot steel that makes most of the gauntlet, he gently lets it down on the table once again and dries it out gently, making sure there is absolutely no more water in it.

He turns it upside down to look at what looked to be internal circuits that run from every part of the Gauntlet to the palm were a large circle seemed to act as a conductor. Percy turned back to his bag and pulled out two medium sized Dust crystals "Time to see if the Dust was worth the money..." he whispers as he places a crystal in each side of the table next to the gauntlet. He stood up and took a few steps back, raising his hand as he closes his eyes and activates his semblance "Activation" he whispers as the two dust crystals suddenly burst into life, letting yellow lightning burst directly into the gauntlet being the closest metal in the room.

Percy smiles kind of evilly as his plan is working to perfection, the Dust slowly fill the gauntlet completely with pure lightning that gets stored through the circuit around the gauntlet. The crystals die down once they are depleted and Percy raises his hand at the gauntlet "Deactivation" he once again whispers as the lightning slowly turns a bright blue and dies down leaving the conductor of the palm shinning blue. Percy takes a few steps forward as carefully touches the gauntlet while looking the other way expecting it to explode, once nothing happened he turns back with a bright smile as he takes off the goggles and puts on his glasses that weren't hiding the excitement on his eyes "Alright!" He yells happily as he held the gauntlet high up. Proud of his creation, he removes the leather work gloves and puts it on his right hand he stared at it proud before taking a metal inscription and bolting it on the back of the hand "The Diplomatic Approach" he whispers reading the inscription.

He hurries to his journal on the other side of the bed and flips thru the pages until reaching the plans of the gauntlet, marking a big checkmark on a side of the pages. He can't stop smiling as he puts his equipment back into his bags, cleaning up his face and putting on his coat and a similar glove on his left hand. He takes his gun holster, where twin revolvers rested on, from the bed and straps it on around his waist and under the coat. He then grabs a small short sword and strapped it around his back waist like a wakizashi above the coat. He finally takes his bags and a large white cane that seemed to be made out of bone or pearly white Ivory.

He turns to look at the room. He was rather shock at the state he had left it at, burn marks all over the walls and celling as well as pieces of jagged metal stabbed thru the walls, he figures that whoever owns this room won't be very happy with him so he hurries off trying to not think about it much.

Percival has quite a happy aura around him as he hurries to the school building, not realizing how late he is. He is quite a talented engineer and inventor, making real unique weaponry using only Dust and his imagination. All of his weapons were built from scratch by him even the cane that he did in tribute of his father, the first weapon he ever built. It was quite obvious to everyone that the two of them didn't had a good relationship, his father had to abandon him and his mother due to work and taking Percival with him was not an option, once that his mother died Percival was left alone on the darkest of places, only to find himself traveling the world to learn from the best builders and engineers of the world. He refused to even talk to his father for quite a long time until he finished his studies as an engineer and became a weapon master himself, which didn't took long due to his almost unnatural ability to build, becoming the youngest weapon master in the world.

He was finally convinced to join Beacon Academy and to try reconnect with his father when he found a letter from his deceased mother begging him to become a hunter like her and forgive his father, Percival still held much hate for Ozpin, but if it was his Mother's wishes then he would obey her at any cost, even swallow his own pride like the better man she wished him to be.

His journey didn't came without risks, lurking inside of him was a creature of much evil that called itself The Darkness, it constantly whispered to him and tried to corrupt him but on his fifth birthday he was visited by a certain someone in his dreams, an older man that looked quite like himself. The man sealed The Darkness under a heavy spell that didn't allowed Percy to hear it and granted him with all the abilities the Darkness possessed.

He could turn his arms into various weapons and shields, jump entire buildings with ease, sprint as fast as a bullet, turn his coat into heavy armor, turn into a mirror version of any person, superhuman senses that allowed him to see in heat vision and hear from very far away and a few others that he had yet to unlock. He also counted with two dark monstrous snakes that burst out of his back under great stress, this were great assistant and surprisingly quite loving pets.

Even though his powers were something extraordinary. Percival refused to use them at all, with the exception of the snakes and enhanced senses that he held no control over, He found them rather monstrous and felt like he was accepting The Darkness every time he used them. He wished to become a legend on his own, not because of an advantage he had over other people, they did help with larger Grimm or big waves. It would take a lot for Percival to deliberately use these powers so it didn't happened often, with the exception of the snakes and the senses that he could not control. Percy wanted to make his mother proud by his own ability, not by cheating his way thru a battle, he feared what she would say if she were to see him as monster even more than he feared The Darkness and his own powers.

Percy makes his way to Beacon; he prefers walking to traveling by ship due to his fear of heights. He can't remember when or why did he started to fear them but they have always been an obstacle when he travels, on often times he would faint making The Darkness take over temporarily and make him act out of instinct like an animal.

He shakes his head in order to get rid of the memories, he was close to the gates anyway so he better make a good impression, with luck he would have a calm school year without much trouble or meetings with his father, little did he know how wrong he was...

Percy enters the school, looking around at the halls as he takes a paper note from his pocket that says in which area of the academy the introduction would be given as well as the time it would begin. The deserted hallways began to give him a hint as he looked at the time, seeing he was half an hour late made him hurry the pace quite a lot.

-Back at the Ballroom-

Ozpin wasn't really paying attention to what was coming out of his mouth and neither did the girls as they were all waiting for Percival to arrive, Ozpin didn't notices but whatever he is saying had to be really inspirational since everyone was paying close attention, even Glynda seems impressed by his performance. Speaking of Glynda, she was quite anxious to see Percival again, she hasn't seen him ever since he was four years old, she hides it from Ozpin but she really loves Percy like her own family. Herself and his mother were really close friends back in their academy years and when Percival was born it was obvious who was going to be his godmother, ever since then she has kept a close relationship with him, often writing letters to him as she got to find out about all of his adventures due to the postcards he sent to her.

Percival arrived at the door but stopped when he figured that his father would be there and starts to hesitate, he sighs and takes a deep breath as he pulls out the hood from a zipper in the back collar, hiding his hair from view as well as using the rest of the collar to hide the lower region of his face. he takes another deep breath "Ok Percy... you go in, pretend you are someone else and go out, come on... we have to do it for mom..." he pats the heads of the snakes who were slowly beginning to come out and relaxes so they go back into his body "This goes to you mom..." he whispers as he opens the door slowly and gets in, luckily for him not a lot of people seemed to notice him, most of the students were looking at Ozpin with admiration in their eyes, so did most of the teachers. The only people that seemed to notice him were Glynda, a group of girls that stare at him with shock filled eyes and what he believed to be a blush and his father to much of his despair.

Ruby stares at her future husband, her heart going a hundred miles per hour while her silver eyes scan him like he was a piece of art, her hands went to her chest as she tries her best to not tackle him in a hug, the memory of them sharing cookies on the backyard while staring at the stars was bringing tears to her eyes.

Weiss was no better as her blush was more obvious due to all the white clothing on her, she could feel her eyes getting teary as she stares into her future husband, memories of the two of them were flooding her mind as a bit of a nosebleed starts to come out while she keeps remembering the GOOD times.

Blake felt her ears go up on instinct and she has to make sure her Ribbon stays in place, her desire to tackle Percy was close to animalistic as she wants to lay on his chest as he pets her head like they always did when they were alone, a tear escapes her eye as she feels so blessed to be able to see him again without needing to touch him.

Yang was blushing the most out of the girls, she had forgotten how cute Percy was when they were young, she remembers how he always treats her like a princess rather than a piece of meat or a hooker like most men did, how he always treats her gently from dancing to kissing and making love, with him she could be such a fragile girl and stop pretending like she is always in control, she could be herself without fearing rejection as Percy would break the teeth of anyone that dares to insult her.

Ozpin stares into his son in shock, he could easily spot him due to their similar clothing and cane, he feels the glare that Percy was staring at him with and sighs knowing that he has hurt his son a lot in the past and that it would take a while for him to win back a place in his heart, he couldn't help but to smile proudly at him as he looks like such a strong independent man in this timeline, probably due to the seal that allows him to be less of a brooding emo and more of himself.

Glynda glares daggers at the late student until she notices the familiar coat he was wearing, making her face turn from a completely angry glare to an excited smile, she keeps her composure as best as she could but she wants to greet her son in law as soon as possible. She realizes that he may have carried on Ozpin's tradition to always be late for important things, she's got a determined flame on her eyes as she promises Percival's mother to keep her son in the right track.

Percy looks away from his father and sat on the corner trying to blend in. The girls, Ozpin and Glynda didn't stop staring until Ozpin finishes his speech and Glynda takes the stage "You will all be sleeping in the ballroom tonight and tomorrow you're initiation will begin, dismissed!" She yells and with that everyone began to leave.

The girls all tried to get thru the crowd to get to Percy, so did Glynda and Ozpin but by the time they look to where he was sited he was already gone possibly to change, all of them share a sigh of frustration for missing him as they exit the ballroom splitting up to look for him.

-Meanwhile at the roof-

Percival burst out the door and slams it close as he tries to regain his breath. He slowly walks to the rails of the roof as he gasps for air, trembling all over as he feels like he was losing it, he didn't expected to have his powers go haywire with just looking at his father, he was about to jump in and attack him when he regained control of his body he knew that he had to get out of there and fast, he almost didn't noticed how he was sprinting with The Darkness until he reached the rooftop.

He felt so weak when he saw his own father... and to be forced to use The Darkness over something so trivial only left him feeling worse, he lays his back against the railing after he pushes down his hood and tries his best to relax, not hearing the soft footsteps of someone walking towards him.

He feels a hand touch his shoulder and out of instinct reaches for his revolver only to look up at his godmother with tears on the edge of his eyes, she is kneeling down in front of him with a gentle smile on her face along with an understanding look on her eyes, they didn't say anything as Glynda pulls him into a hug and Percy softly begins to sob while hiding his face on her shoulder.

"Shhh... its ok... I'm here..." says Glynda as she helps Percival calm down, she knew that he was in the edge of breaking down, the poor boy has been thru a lot already, seeing the man who originated his abandonment issues was really tormenting him, and she now has the mission to help him move on from this trauma. Glynda continues to hug him until he finally stops crying, all that she could think of was about the massive beating that Ozpin was about to receive next time she looks at him.

-Sometime later-

RWBY are walking down of the many hallways of the school still determined to find their future husband "Where the Hell is He?!" Yells a frustrated Weiss as the girls were beginning to get tired "How am I supposed to know? We didn't became friends until the initiation remember?" Replies Yang as Blake yawns "Come on! We can't give up now! You saw him in the ballroom! He was about to cry!" Exclaims Ruby as the rest of the team sighs sadly "you don't need to remind us Ruby..." says Blake with a worried look on her face. The entire team sighs as they were about to reach the end of the hallway only to freeze when they see two people walking down the opposite hallway.

Percy had finally calmed down and after some small talk with Glynda he agreed to go back to the Ballroom for the night, he turns to his right to see the same four girls that were staring at him in the ceremony "Oh! Um... Hi!" He says happily out of surprise not expecting the girls to be there, Glynda walks next to him and also notices the girls; she glares at them thinking they are slacking off.

The girls were frozen out of nervousness, Percival seems so... Radiant to them, he was shinning like a single sunbeam in a cloudy day. They felt out of breath and their brains weren't processing the words they wanted to say properly so they could only stare at him, making him uncomfortable "uhh... well..." Percival didn't know what to say as he turns to look at Glynda who glared even more at the girls when she noticed the blushes and hungry looks that they were looking at her godson with 'Over my Dead Body!' She exclaims in her mind as a dark aura wraps around her that the girls weren't even paying attention to.

"I uh... I'm Percival! Pleasure to meet you" he says in a friendly tone of voice as the girls immediately caught up to the conversation, blushing more in embarrassment due to their slip up. "I'm Ruby Rose! This is my sister Yang Xiao Long and my friends Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee!" Ruby said presenting her friends who only gave a shy wave with their hands; it felt really weird for them to have to be reintroduced to their husband, the man who was allowed to see them naked or in their worst hair days.

Percy smiles at the introductions "Nice to meet you too girls! I hope we can be great friends!" He says with a charming smile that only melts the girl's knees as steam starts to come out of their heads and they all blush out of embarrassment. Glynda kept glaring at the girls but realized that Percy could use the extra friends so she leaves them alone, meaning that she spies on them from a corner of the hallway to protect Percival's innocence.

Percy notices their weapons and walks closed to them to try and have a better look, the girls blush more due to how close he is "That's quite an interesting machine!" He says as he admires Crescent Rose. Realizing that he was talking to her Ruby immediately pulls her weapon out, the elegant design of the Scythe/Sniper rifle was something that always got her high praise from Percival, something she adored as they shared the same amount of gun addiction, something that they bonded over rather easily.

"Thanks! I made it myself!" Says Ruby loving her Husband's praise as the rest glare at her "Amazing!" He said noticing the great crafting work "Wow! Did you use Dust to enhance your revolver?! I thought I was the only one who did that!" He says while returning Crescent Rose to Ruby and turning to look at Weiss.

Ruby glares cold daggers at Weiss and so did Blake and Yang as she blushes from Percival's closeness as she takes out her rapier with a proud smirk "Great mind do think a like it seems" she said seductively as Percival blushes and chuckles "y-yeah, it would seem that way" he replied as he looked at the dust chambers "hmmm... your crystal set up is a bit weird... mind if I change it?" He asks as a flashback of her yelling at him for suggesting it last time came back to Weiss. She decided to have as much of a good relationship with her future husband as possible "by all means!" She says as Percy smiles and switches around her crystal for some of his own, she is impressed with the rarity of the crystals he has on him. He finally hands her weapon back as she swings it around and gives her the old crystals back to her "you are really talented on Dust weapons, keep it up!" He says with a warm smile that kept her frozen as she blushes really hard.

Percy took a step back to see Blake with her weapon on her hands and staring at him waiting for attention, Percival notice it without issues as he walks closer to her with a confused look on his face "Sorry to even ask, but I don't think I've ever seen something like this..." Blake smirks as she unsheathes her Katana and hands it to Percy.

His eyes go wide as he experimented with the weapon, twirling it around from Katana to Pistol and finally scythe attached to her ribbon "Incredible! You must be really skilled to use all this transformations!" The high praised from Percy made her smirk at the rest of her team in a mocking manner as she got closer to him and explained the different features of the gun "Wow... ill definitely apply some of this to my next design! You must be an amazing fighter! I would love to spar with you!" He says as he sheaths her weapon back and hands it to her, touching her hands by accident, making her blush bright red "N-Nyaaa..." she lets out from the light brush of their fingers "Excuse me?" Asks Percy making Blake panic "N-Nothing! I mean...sure! I would love to spar with you..." she says trying to cover up as she looks away trying to control herself as Percy smiles "I'll be waiting for it" he says as he turns to Yang.

"Me next! Me next!" She screams happily as Percival laughs "Alright!" He smiles at her as she activates her bracelets and her gauntlets appear "What?! Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets?! I thought they didn't make this anymore!" He says holding Yang's hands making her shy all of the sudden "twenty four shots total too!" Says Yang "No wonder you are so fit!" Says Percy as he walked behind her and wraps his arms around her to look at the gauntlets from another perspective. Making Yang shine three different shades of red as the rest of the girls plot her death with dark glares on their eyes.

"If you allow me, I could work on your gauntlets to give you a bigger punch! I finished with something of my own design today as well!" He says as he shows her The Diplomatic Approach. Yang nods furiously as her perverted/romantic instincts kick in "We could make it a date!" She says shocking the rest of the girls and making Percival blush red "U-um..." he mumbles not sure what to say.

"PERCIVAL!" Yells Glynda from her hidden spot startling everyone, she rushes in glaring death to the girls as they shivered from her gaze "You are going to be late! Hurry back to the Ballroom, NOW!" she screams as Percival nodded in fear forgetting about what Yang said "S-see you later girls!" He waves goodbye as he runs away, leaving the girls with Glynda as she takes out her Riding Crop "AS FOR YOU!..." She screams at them as the girls shiver in fear.

"GRACIOUS RETREAT!" Screams Ruby to her teammates as they all ran away in fear only to scream as when Glynda starts to chase after them "GET BACK HERE AND ACCEPT PUNISHMENT!" Glynda screams as the girls throw objects at her to escape from her telekinetic semblance.

-one hour later at the Ballroom-

The girls had finally escaped from Glynda, completely exhausted from all the running around the academy; they decided to go straight to bed.

"You just had to start molesting him didn't you Yang?" Asks an annoyed Blake as she reads on a book about advance engineering "It's not my fault!" Complains Yang as she rubs her head in pain due to Glynda throwing her a fire extinguisher on the chase.

"How the hell is this not your fault?!" Asks Weiss while Ruby removes twigs and leaves from her hair due to her climbing a tree to escape from Glynda "I don't think I've ever seen Glynda that mad at us" continued Ruby while pulling a large twig from Weiss making her scream in pain and glare at her.

"I'm used to always flirting with Percy, ok?! I can't help it! I didn't expect him to hug me all of a sudden!" She said as the others glare at her and she smirks "Guess that only proves he likes me the most~" her comment made her receive three different pillows to the face "SHUT UP!" The others yell in unison and go back to ignore her as she laughs.

Ruby turns to look at the boy's side, Percival was all the way on a corner away from the rest of the boys, as he works on some notebooks and his pocket watch, his bags all around him as he pulls various tools and equipment from them. she sighs remembering how he used to be even more cut off from people due to The Darkness and its corruption of his mind and personality, now that he didn't had it he was more friendly with people but he still kept his distance from them.

She turns to the girls who were staring at him as well, they all trade looks and nodded to each other once they made sure Glynda wasn't anywhere near them they take their things and walk to Percy's corner, arranging their bedrolls around him "hello again Percival" greets Blake as Percy removes his welding goggles and puts on his glasses as he looks at the girls and smiles "Hey there! Sorry about my godmother, she is rather overprotective sometimes" he apologizes as the girls sat on their beds around him "Don't worry about it! Hey ummm... we were wondering if you wouldn't mind if..." began Ruby as her face goes bright red along with Weiss and Blake "We sleep with you!" Yells Yang not minding how her words sound making everyone blush when her words were processed.

"H-HUH?!" Asks a flustered Percival as he blushes a new shade of red. Weiss hits Yang across the head while Ruby chokes her and Blake covers her mouth "N-NOT LIKE THAT!" they yell embarrassed beyond belief as they put a dirty sock on Yang's mouth "we don't know a lot of people around here and we would be more comfortable if we sleep NEXT to someone that we do know" clarifies Ruby in an adorably shy tone of voice that only makes Percy blush more as her big silver eyes give her an air of adorableness only amplified by her small size.

Percy and Ruby stare into each other's eyes much to Blake and Weiss displeasure while Yang tries to take the dirty sock out of her mouth and fill her mouth with toothpaste. Ruby feels her heart beating out of her chest as she stares into Percival's shiny blue eyes. Percy snaps out of it while blushing shyly "U-umm... sure... I don't see a problem with it" he says as the girls smile brightly "Thanks!" They say in chorus as they rush forwards battling the spots next to him only for them to be won by Blake and Weiss who smile triumphal at Ruby and Yang who have to sleep next to them instead.

Percy once again blushes bright red as he packs his tools on his bags and lays down on his bed roll only to find both Weiss and Blake smiling at him with light blushes on their faces and covering a bit of his own bedroll "Good night Percy~" the girls whisper in a seductive tone as Percy stutters "G-Good night girls..." he says as he zips his bedroll all the way to his head and blows on the candle close to them, eventually the rest of the students did the same.

-Meanwhile-

Ozpin and Glynda are working at his office; Glynda won't stop glaring at Ozpin while he nervously sweats watching his movements carefully as well as thinking what he says hoping to avoid another beating. "So... what should we do with the dorm selection? Percy is going to need a good place to forge were he won't bother students" asks Glynda while Glaring harder when she mentions Percy "W-Well... somewhere close to the lake would be ideal then... I mean... he would only have to share the dorm with two other teams so as long as we place him with someone he gets along it shouldn't be a problem" he says as he looks at the map of the school, the door he was pointing at was close to their office "Seems proper, maybe this time you'll stay by his side" she growls while Ozpin shivers "W-What do you m-m-mean?..." he asks only to see Glynda's eyes glow red as she slowly stand up grabbing her riding crop while a dark aura was slowly getting bigger around her as Ozpin slowly backs away closer to the window "G-Glynda?..." he asks very afraid "Try to not scream so loud... the students are sleeping..." she says as she jumps forward and the punishment begins.

-Back at the ballroom-

Most students were sleeping but those few that were awake late at night could not achieve so due to the inhuman cries of a nearby creature being hit by what it seemed to be a whip. The students believed it to be the ghost of a hunter fighting a creature in the great beyond.

-The next morning-

Percival slowly wakes up feeling rather heavy, he looks at his clock next to his pillow that marked it to be five in the morning, he yawned as he tried to stretch his arms but found that he couldn't move at all, in a bit of a panic his eyes activate The Darkness on their own and allows him to see in the dark, he blushed bright red at what he saw.

Yang and Weiss were holding his arms in between their breasts while Blake sleeps on top of him like a cat, Ruby sleeps with him under the bedroll while kissing his neck out of instinct, he fells Blake purring on his chest as Yang and Weiss press their chests on his arms. He tries to think of a way out but it was obvious that the girls had him at their mercy.

Percy hated himself for having to use his powers once more but he needed to get stuff done, he called forth the Darkness and easily set himself free replacing his body with pillows for the girls to hug in order for them to not wake up. He sighs once he is free and walks away with his bags thankful that he was the only one awake, or so he thought.

He walks on the dark hallways of Beacon Academy, his weapons tugged away on his many bags with the exception of The Diplomatic Approachthat he refused to remove from his hand, he yawns as he has yet to control his blush or stop thinking about the girls, he walks to the showers and tries to calm himself down with a cold splash. He then heads to the roof were he begins to stretch, working on ideas for future weapons or equipment, for some reason he couldn't stop thinking about Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang. He thinks on ways to help them improve or augmentations of their own weapons.

He sighs frustrated not knowing why he was so worried about them since he met them, it was like... he had meet them before... He shakes his head trying to think of something else until he feels like he is being watched by someone else. He carefully looks around until he notices a woman staring at him with a white hood he was very familiar of.

"Mom?..." he whispers staring at the woman for a while until she starts to walk away, Percy jumps off the roof and begins to follow the white hood thru the forest using the Darkness to break his fall, dodging the trees as he runs as fast as he can. The woman doesn't seem to hear him as she leads Percy somewhere into the forest until she suddenly disappears in a clearing.

Percy gasps for air as he looks around to try and find the hooded woman only to find a small shrine and a very familiar black book. He picks it up and instantly hears a voice "Percival..." he hears someone's call as he turns around to look at the same older man he saw in his dream long ago "You..." the man smiles from being recognized and steps forward "hello there Percival" said the older man "who are you?..." asks Percy as he tries to reach for his revolver only to remember he left them on the bag.

The man chuckled with a slight eco on his voice "Don't you recognize yourself?" The man got closer as Percival widen his eyes in shock "It's true, I am You, at least a version of you" a chair spawns next to them as he sits on it "What the hell happened to us..." asks the present Percy as the future one had many scars and a black coat much like his current one but with the initials RWBY on the back.

Future Percy chuckles "Well, that's what happens when you fight in a war" he says as Present Percy shivers "a war?..." he asks fearing the future that his future self spoke of "Don't worry about it for now; you have problems of your own now don't you? Specifically problems about Women" future Percy says as he offers his younger self a chair to sit on.

Present Percy sits trying to comprehend what's going on. The question reaches his ears and he blushes "W-What are you talking about? You mean about those girls?" Future Percy smiles "Let me guess, you feel like you know them from somewhere?" He asks as he takes a flask from his coat and begins to drink.

Present Percy was shock at how easily he figured it out "Y-Yeah... but I can't remember well enough..." he admits as he rubs his eyes frustrated, his future self chuckles some more and smiles at him "Don't worry about it much, they are our greatest allies in the future, Try to become friends with them ok?" He asks as Present Percy notices the look on his eyes "You... We... knew them?... just what are they to us in the future? You speak of them so fondly and... My heart won't stop beating when I stare into them and... I can't stop thinking about them..." his future self laughs at his past self while remembering his moments with the girls.

He stares into his younger self and raises his hands to show him four different ring each of a different color "You'll find out soon enough... just go with what your heart tells you and trust them" he says as his past self blushes recognizing the rings being similar to the ones the girls have.

The future Percy stands up "I don't have much time so ill be brief" he says as he dusts himself off "You need to give me that book" he pointed at the black book Percy found "W-Why?..." asks the Present Percy "That book... it will cause nothing but trouble to us and..." he takes a deep breath on the memories that came rushing to him "It will bring nothing but pain and tears to those we love..." Present Percy was even more confused now "B-But... that woman..." he begins until he is cut off by his older self "That wasn't mom... that woman... she will bring you a lot of trouble in a nearby future... but remember that she isn't our mother... no matter how much she looks... like her..."

"Then who is she?..." asks Present Percy as he stares into his older eyes. His future version stays silent for a few seconds until he finally speaks "That woman... Is... A Nightmare... a being that should not exist... I still have to figure out if she is even human or... something else" his answer only confuses Percy even more "You are not answering my question... What does she want?... What is this book?... Who is that woman that looks so much like... Mother..." his questions were only bringing more pain to his Future self.

The older Percival sighs "I will tell you... but you need to know just how much she hurts us... you need to be prepared to face her if you decide to chase her after I tell you... she won't be able to complete her plans once I take the book but she will be more than willing to hurt us anyway" he slowly kneels down a bit to be on eye level to Percy he raises his hand and touches his forehead as present Percy begins to scream.

What he saw was a true nightmare, she saw that same woman torturing him for ages, setting him traps only for him to blindly help her complete a ritual. He saw Ruby being tortured and put in a Coma, Weiss stabbed and almost raped by her followers, Yang being brainwashed and forced to fight those she cared about and finally... he saw that same woman in her true form, a form of an old hag with sharp teeth almost looking like a witch straight out from a horror movie... and what she did to Blake...

He saw her forcing him to read the book only to... remove Blake's eyes with a knife... her screams would haunt his dreams from that day on... it was until the ritual was nearly completed that he called into the complete powers of The Darkness and massacre her entire cult and she revealed her identity.

That woman was his grandmother... and she was the one that began to poison his mother until...

Present Percy pushes his older self away as he screams "No more!" His future self didn't say anything else for a while as Present Percy was about to puke, he threw the book at his older self "I...I don't want to see that book ever again... and that woman... SHE IS GOING TO PAY!" He can feel the powers of The Darkness almost overflowing of his body, his snakes hissing with bloodlust until his future self touched his forehead again.

He then sees something that takes all of his anger away. Something that he would hold on to with all his might every time that he feels The Darkness trying to take over again...

He sees a ceremony, people he feels that are close to him all smiling at him, some with tears in his eyes as he walks closer to a platform of sorts, he looks up only to find the most perfect view he has ever seen. He saw four young women, all of them with tears in their eyes and a beyond than happy smile on them as they all offer their hands for him to take; he takes them all with one hand as he smiles.

Ruby... Weiss... Blake... and Yang...

All of them wearing a white wedding dress with flowers of different colors in their other hand as they slowly reach in to kiss him, he feels such peace in his heart as he hears the sounds of violins and angels in chorus, he no longer cares about anything else as he feels the sweet embrace of the women he loves.

Present Percy finally snaps out of it. The Darkness gone from his body and back into the seal. He slowly looks up to his future self who smiles at him "That's how special they become huh?..." asks the present Percy with a smile "Those four... they will make you the happiest man on earth... while embarrassing you every day and pissing you off in the same time... and you will love every second of it" he says as he begins to disappear "It's time for me to go... remember that image if you ever get lost in the dark and don't be afraid... you have four people who will follow you to the ends of the earth... if you ever need me... I'll always be nearby" he says as the world around Percy begins to fade only for him to wake up back in the roof.

He holds his head in pain as he looks at his watch "only two minutes?..." he says as he stands up trying to calm his aching head, he notices something in his hand. He looks down to see a handle of a broken blade, quite elegant in its design and really light. Percy could only stare at the craftsmanship and outstanding materials it was made of, he could sense a bit of Dust residue and the broken blade seemed to be recent.

He looks down to find a note along with the other piece of the blade "Mom's sword. Treat it with care; I never got around finishing it after the war. On the backside is the map for the pieces on your time, get to work! -P" Percy was beyond shocked, now he knew why he was so familiar with the hilt.

He holds the hilt close to his chest as the vague memory of his mothers embrace comes back into his brain and helps him relax, he puts it all on his bags but decides to keep the hilt on his belt as he rushes to the cafeteria, he desperately was in need for a coffee or at least some toast.

The dark hallways almost seems to help him think, his mind asking many questions that he has absolutely zero answers to. He wonders about the sword of his mother, the girls, his father, the academy, his projects and the future. Specifically that woman... the images he saw of Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang were going to be haunting him for the rest of the day, especially those of Blake...

What was worse was that he couldn't stop blaming himself for all of them... he feels that it was his fault, they suffered so much and he was sure that his future self felt the same... 'That book... how can one book cause so much pain in the world?' He wonders as he holds his head in pain.

"A bit early for breakfast don't you think?" A voice says behind him as he turns to look at a smiling Yang as Ruby and Weiss try to remain awake and Blake stretches her arms with a yawn. "Well... I had a few unexpected surprises when I woke up so..." he says with a small blush that the girls easily noticed. They sat across him in the table and began to talk.

Percy chuckles as the girls were obviously still in their way to waking up, Yang was the first one out as she lays her head on Ruby's shoulder and goes back to sleep as the short red hair girl was also struggling to remain awake, Weiss and Blake were the only ones that seemed to be truly waking up but they were also being seduced into going back to sleep.

"You don't have to wake up just because of me you know? Why don't you go back to bed?" Asks Percy. "Without you what's the fun?" Asks Weiss rather shockingly with Blake nodding as Ruby and Yang once again wake up as Percy blushes red "W-what?... we just met... you sound like you love me or something..." he says as the girls smile.

"We do" they say in unison with a happy smile and a big blush on their faces. If Percy was red before he was now beyond the scale of color as steam could almost be visible from the top of his head and he feels like he was about to faint, the image of them in wedding dresses saying those exact words to him after being asked by a priest only made him even more red, making him faint and fall face first into the table.

The girls smirk in victory as they each got comfortable by his side, Ruby and Blake lay their head on his lap while Yang and Weiss lay theirs in his shoulders, they all join him back to the land of dreams for just another while until it was a humanly acceptable hour to wake up.

They all cuddle in the cafeteria enjoying their time together, the girls had spent a long time conquering Percy back in the original timeline and now that they have tasted the sweetness of his love they were not going to be fooling around anymore, they want their husband and they want him Now! Gone was their shyness as from then on they would be more aggressive in order to gain their Percy back into their arms.

They could read him like an open book and were sure that he feels the same for them but just like back then, he is confused about his feelings due to never having such kind of relationship before. They didn't blame him for being shy, they find it rather adorable actually, but with more than twenty years of marriage and a few kids they had become clingier than a Yandere, but that was to expect when you decide to share the rest of your life with someone you love.

Ozpin entered the cafeteria only to see the scene, he couldn't help but smile at the girls, he was quite impressed with how possessive they were behaving, back in the original timeline Percy was the seductive and teasing one but it seems the roles were reversed this time. He just hopes his son would be able to handle it, as they had quite the hungry stares back in the ceremony.

He figures that it's only fair, his son used to be quite the pervert with them, it was only a matter of time for them to become as perverted or at least as teasing as he once was. He walks slowly to the group in order to not wake them up and uses his Scroll to take a picture of the group while they sleep; he knows that there would be many opportunities to tease him once they sit down and talk.

He decides to give them some time alone but places an alarm next to Yang and Percy, 'nothing like a little scare to start the morning right?' He thinks with a smile as he walks away, taking his son's cup of coffee and giving it a sip "figures..." he whispers "he likes the same flavor as me" he smiles as he walks back to his office while trying to ignore the perverted mumbles that team RWBY were making about his son in their sleep.

The girls smile in their sleep. Once again being able to cuddle with their husband was something they were looking forward even before being sent to the past. The war had really made everyone busy and on edge, it didn't helped the fact that Percival would stay up day and night to try and find a solution to the Colossal Dragon or reorganize the surviving teams to constantly defend the perimeter.

The day the dragon attacked was also the day that the girls lost their loving husband and got instead a general of an army. They weren't going to let this opportunity go to waste; they would protect and enjoy their Percival this time. No amount of time would be enough for them, they made the vow once to never leave his side and they had no plans on breaking it now or never.

The thought of the Colossal Dragon came into their minds. They still weren't sure what they were supposed to do in order to avoid its awakening since the only one that truly saw it rise was Percival and he was never the same ever since... it was an entire week before he spoke again to anyone at all, he would just hug them and the kids as tight as he could, almost afraid of letting go.

Ruby has begun to form a plan on her mind, maybe fighting it in its earliest form or make sure the seal is undisturbed would be a good idea as well. She lets out an irritated sigh and decides to cuddle up closer to his chest.

Weiss was wondering if perhaps some files on her family's archive could contain any information about Grimm Dragons at all, she was the one that nursed Percy the most when he was in the comatose state and she wants to make sure that this version of Percy is mentally prepared for facing one of them. She looks up and smiles as she hugs him tighter.

Blake has similar thoughts as she purrs out of comfort; she wants to appreciate all the things that she could no longer do without her eyes. She has been reading her favorite books while also looking for any info about the legend of the Grimm Dragon, maybe the answer was in a good book. She pecks Percival's cheek and snuggles closer to him, remembering how she used to cuddle with him while He read out loud for her.

Yang was pretty much drooling while keeping a tight grip on him; she wants to be the one to protect him this time around. He always went around sacrificing himself for others, so she wants him to accept her as his support; she wants to be his rock.

Even though this was new for Percival, a smile slowly made his way into his face. For the first time in his life since his mother died, he felt truly loved.

The peace he felt thanks to the girls finally allowed him to relax and the fact he was in the same building as the man he despises more than life itself didn't seem to matter anymore.
