Author's Note:-

Hello, my faithful readers! I have come with another update. This one wasn't that tiring. The thing was just that my laptop was/is fucked and the company was being lazy AF with repairing. Overall, this took a while. But don't worry I will continue to pull out chapters.
Please leave reviews it helps me a lot in both motivation and increasing my skill in writing.

Without any delay, let's begin.

Summer, dressed in her usual clothing, went to a place where she regularly visits. Graveyard. It was with a pretty good reason as well. It's hard to move on after the death of a close friend after all. Carrying a some flowers in her hands, she crossed the road and entered the graveyard. Passing by many other graves, Summer noted how quite it was. Even though it was a place for the dead to rest, there were least 4-6 people whenever she visited. Right now, as she walked by, there was no one around. It filled her with nervousness as she reached the grave she came to visit. After a while she finally stopped and looked at the grave.

Here lies
Qrow Branwen
A brave Huntsman, a loving friend,
0and a dear brother

Summer still remembers that day as if it were yesterday. How it was just a simple mission of clearing a Grimm infested lands. How the intel they got suggested there would be no trouble for them if they split. She still remembers that day as Yang was just a toddler, Raven was still with Tai, and Qrow was still alive. Raven and Tai dropped Yang off to a babysitter to join the mission, and divided into two pairs to cover more ground. Raven with Tai and Qrow with herself. It was predicted that with given breaks they should be able to clear it in a day.

Oh how wrong were they. The intel they got was wrong. The Grimm were far too many than told, and had several Alphas among them. Without any proper breaks and hours of fighting, they were tired, but on the brighter side they were achieving success in their attempt to clear out the Grimm. Still, they called for reinforcements since it was matter of time before they slip up. While the reinforcements were on their way, Qrow and Summer went to clear out a herd of Grimm, and were doing pretty good on their own. They fought for a long time, and just as they were about to finish, they slip up. An Alpha was hiding in the forest, out of the two's sight and immediately pounced on them, catching them when their guard was dropped. Qrow died that day protecting Summer, with his chest impaled by the Grimm's stinger. Summer still remembers that look on his face, her own scream, and the white blinding light that came out of her eyes. That day onwards, Raven left Tai and Yang behind, returned to Branwen tribe and cut ties with everyone, Tai did the same to take care of Yang and took a teaching job at Signal Academy, Summer herself resigned as a Huntress and with her side expertise in cooking opened a bakery, it worked wonders for her. Thus, the infamous Team STRQ, one of the strongest Huntsman team fell apart. As for Qrow, after a heavy debate with Raven about where to bury the body, they decided to bury him in the graveyard at Vale. He liked the place more than his own tribe's region anyway.

Snapping back to the reality, Summer looked in front of her. Her eyes went down and she spoke, "Hi Qrow I-I-", but was interrupted as she noticed something. Kneeling down on the ground, she inspected the surface and noticed that the dirt looked different. As if it was recently dug up and the placed back right there, she looks at the grave and sees the ground around it being similar to it. Her eyes widen this and she gets up with horror in her eyes. She doesn't want to believe it, but the proof in front of her meant one thing.

Someone dug up Qrow's grave.

Qrow felt tired. It was surprising considering this body was made of hellish energy. He sat down and looked around him. During his experimentation he totaled the entire warehouse. It was a miracle that no one heard the noises he created and called the police. Still he wouldn't take his chances and get caught. He focused on his senses and tried to recall what he did to teleport. It didn't work. He recalled that feeling of walking between the planes, but it still didn't work. Suddenly, he felt his cape pulling him. He looked at the cape and noticed it pulling him towards a corner of a wall where shadow's laid. He got up and walked towards it. When he immersed himself in whatever the little darkness there was, he felt refreshed. He focused once again, and this time successfully teleported.

Qrow felt darkness around him, embracing him, and this time didn't dare to open his eyes. He still wasn't used to it. He focused his thoughts and decided to go to one place where he needed to be. Ozpin's office. No matter what, he wasn't going to listen to these demons telling him to avoid the only man, who could possibly help him in this situation. He stepped forward and left the shadowy realm. The next thing he knew, he was in Ozpin's office.

Opening his eyes, Spawn looked around it. Ozpin was missing, probably some academy work. Qrow strolled around the office, waiting for Ozpin to show up. He turned his head and looked at the desk, noticing that it looked different. Turning his head once again he noticed that the entire office went through a renovation. The walls had a new coat of paint to them, compared to 15 years ago, the window panes showed polish, and the decoration at the office were different as well. He felt amused looking at this, seeing a new look at the office where he used to come as a student was something else. He placed his hands over the table and suddenly it lit up, as if it had a screen over it. Qrow got startled at this and recoiled his hand back in shock. Seeing the table suddenly turning into a computer he felt amazed looking at it. So many things changed over the past 15 years. This office, Vale, the world. It felt alien for him, and it grew stronger the more he explored.

Suddenly, the elevator of the office chimes and its door opens. From it, Ozpin arrives with his cane in his hands. Compared to Qrow's memories, Ozpin's current look wasn't much different compared to 15 years ago. Sure he could see few wrinkles in his face, but he could swear the dress he is wearing and the glasses he is sporting were the exact same ones he used to wear all those years ago.

Ozpin steps out of the elevator and looks in front of him. His eyes widen in shock as seeing a Spawn standing in front of him. Qrow awkwardly says, "Hey O-"

But he doesn't get to finish it, as the next thing he knew Oz comes crashing into him and striking Qrow with high speeds using his cane. Qrow doesn't get to say anything as Oz then kicks Qrow launching him to the other side of the room. The Spawn slowly gets up and raises his hands. He says, "Oz! It's me! Qrow!"

But Ozpin doesn't answer as he starts channeling his magic and sends a multiple blast towards Qrow. He jumps out of the way and let the magical blast hit the wall behind him. He rolls out of the way and releases the Harbinger in its sword form. Ozpin's facial expression shows no change and charges at Qrow. The stick evenly clashed evenly with the blade, but Qrow knew that Ozpin was going 'easy' on him. If he pushed any further Qrow will lose this battle. Qrow made a downward slash but Ozpin sidesteps to dodge it. He strikes Qrow but the cape and the chains expand and move by themselves to counter it. Qrow himself then turned the cross guard of the blade revealing the shotgun. Pouring his own magical powers, he sent a powerful blast at the unsuspecting Ozpin and sending him crashing to the wall on the other end of the room. Ozpin's Aura shined and he struggled to get up. Qrow charged at him with his sword, but Ozpin deflects it using the cane and strikes him on the head hard enough to send Qrow backwards. Necroplasm flews out of Qrow's head as it heals his wounds, but he doesn't get any breather as Oz once again mercilessly strikes Qrow all over his body. Enhancing the cane with magic he slashes the Spawn with his cane as if using a sword and heavily injures him. He charges once again, but Qrow jumps, avoiding the strike, and uses the costume sticks to the ceiling. Qrow then jumps from the ceiling and lands behind Ozpin. Using the sword form of Harbinger he sends strikes after strikes towards Ozpin in the hopes of taking him down. But Ozpin had much greater speed Qrow thought and matched with him even when the cloak joined in and sent strikes of its own. The two locked their weapons and pushed each other with all their might. Qrow, having advantage thanks to his origins, pushed Ozpin and then swung the sword striking Ozpin in the chest. Ozpin stumbles back but Qrow doesn't let him recover as he then channels energy in his palms and sends a blast of toxic green light hitting Ozpin in the chest and sending him crashing to a wall, forming web like deep cracks on it. Ozpin drops on the ground and holds himself with one leg.

Qrow stood before him, putting his weapon away but still being wary of him, he says, "Oz, calm down! I'm telling you its me! Qrow!"

"You are not Qrow! You are just a demon!", Ozpin's eyes burn with magic as he creates a big ball of fire. Spawn's eyes widen at this and takes steps back in fear as he could feel the intense heat from the fire from here. Ozpin slowly stands up and releases the ball, throwing it at Qrow and shouts, "Die!"

Seeing the ball coming at him and not wanting to take chances anymore, Qrow jumps towards the only desk in the room and using the shadow casted by it through the fire ball, he teleports away. The ball vanishes just as Qrow leaves, and Ozpin stands there looking at his desk. Seconds later, he smirks as he flicks his finger. The room then burst into toxic green light and when it dies down, everything that was damaged in the room repaired to make it look as if nothing happened. Then he picks the cane and goes towards a shadowy parts of the room and disappears.

Minutes later, the elevator chimes again and opens its door, revealing Ozpin happily coming out of it with a cup of hot chocolate on his left hand while his signature stick on his right. He pauses as he looks around his office, feeling something different about it. His eyes narrow with suspicion as he slowly walks towards his desk and slowly sits down, placing the cup on the desk. He rubs his eyes and goes back to work, thinking it's all his paranoia.

Qrow crashes at the ground of the warehouse he left moments ago. He gets up and walks towards the nearest wall. Disappointed at what happened, he takes holds a deep breath and sits down on the ground with his back resting on the wall. After making himself as comfortable as he could and a couple more deep breaths he hears a voice, "I told you it was a foolish move to go there." He turns his head and looks at the old man now appearing in front of him.

"I-I thought he would recognize me", Qrow spoke, "but he just ignored everything I said, and didn't even let me explain it to him"

"And now you are a wanted man in his eyes. He will make sure to get you, using all and any resources that he has"

Qrow closes his eyes, he was tired. Not just physically, but mentally as well. He practiced all night over his new powers. He went to Ozpin to ask help only to get a beatdown and ran away, he could have fought more, but he didn't want to hurt Ozpin even with his 'resurrection'. The cloak on his back expands and covers him as a makeshift cocoon. He closes his eyes and tries to sleep. He needed it, he was too tired with all the shit he had faced. After few minutes he fell into a slumber.

Watching the hellspawn sleeping in front of him, the old man turns and melts into shadows. He goes out to an unknown location and looks around himself. Seeing the place completely empty he says, "I must say. You did a remarkable job"

'Ozpin' appears from the shadows. Carrying the cane in his hands and wearing his usual attire, he gave the old man a smile, "Well, you owe me for this one"

"I can't let the wizard know of our existence. That Spawn is too valuable for us to let him be killed"

"Yeah yeah, the borders weakening and all that", 'Ozpin' countered, "but doesn't it puzzle you? Why is it that a Spawn got sent over here, with none of us getting any access to the other side?"

"It does. It is a question that puzzles me, but since he is a Spawn I can trust that Lord Malebolgia is making a move to this world", the old man said looking at 'Ozpin' with disgust, "Do you plan on staying like that?"

'Ozpin' gives him a shit-eating grin and answers, "I was wondering when you would ask", and just with that, his body changes its shape and becomes something demonic. With the transformation ending it becomes looking like a thin and slender being with a disproportionate arms, "It is quite hypocritical to say when you stay a human yourself"

"My disguise is original. Yours is an imitation", the old man countered

"Whatever", changing the topic the slender demon says, "what's the plan now?"

"The others will arrive sooner or later. The smart ones will test this Spawn, increasing his potential, some might not and remain neutral, and the fools will just kill him for their own gain not knowing that they could possibly get a way back home. Either way, we wait and guide this Spawn, and avoid those two all cost."

"Ohohohoho... I can't wait to get back home"

"Patience my friend", he then turns around with his eyes glowing orange, "we waited for centuries. What's few more months compared to that?"
