"Bullshit!" Yang shouts, still looking around for the asshat messing with her. A voice-throwing semblance from outside maybe? She turns to the window above her bed and opens the window, looking outside. No one.
"I assure you, I am who I say I am." The voice says again. "Perhaps if you calm down-" Was she going insane? "You're perfectly-"
"Shut up!" Yang shouts again, panicking now. "Shut up, shut upshutupshutupshut-" Yang mutters, hair burning and eyes red.
"Yang?!" A voice from outside her door shouts. It bursts open, revealing Taiyang Xiao-Long, obviously worried. "Are you okay? I heard you shouting."
Yang looks at her father, red turning to lilac. "You didn't hear him?" Yang asks.
"Hear... what?"
"Yang." The voice cuts in. "You're the only one who can hear me." It says gently.
Yang falls to her knees clutching her head with her only arm. A telepathy semblance. That had to be the explanation. Otherwise, she was either going insane or the voice really is Ozpin.
And one of those possibilities was much more likely than the other.
Ozpin sighed. Looking through his student's eyes, he sees Taiyang start embracing her, asking her what's wrong. He couldn't blame Yang for reacting that way though, some of his earlier incarnations have reacted the same, sometimes worse. Although Miss Xiao-Long had reacted a tad bit out of character, going straight from rage to panic attack. Something to look into later.
He decides to stay silent now. Obviously, his presence was causing the girl stress, and she's had far too many stressful events happen to her than any teenager should.
He wanders Yang's mindscape, looking through her memories, a trick he's picked up centuries ago, which helped quite a bit in understanding new hosts. It would also help him catch up with the rest of Remnant's new happenings. Being dead usually meant you can't keep up with the news. It shouldn't disturb Yang, and he will let her keep her privacy.
Now let's see... the CCT is down. Beacon has fallen, and-
Oh.
Oh Miss Nikos. Another child he had failed in this eternal war.
And Miss Xiao-Long's newfound panic could be understood. PTSD and abandonment issues resurfacing from her team having broken apart is not a very good mix for anyone's mental health.
He can help with her new disability, no doubt. He's lost limbs before in different lives, and he knows how it feels. He would rather that Yang rest in her home and recover at her own pace, however...
Salem has struck one of the academies, stealing the rest of the maiden power and simultaneously shaking the kingdoms to it's core. He's lucky she hadn't found the relic of choice, but now Salem has the fall maiden at her side, along with spreading distrust between the Kingdoms and fear amongst it's populace.
Ozpin needs to collect the relics, meet up with James, Leonardo and Theodore. They must strike back against Salem before she makes her next move.
Like it or not, Ozpin needs Yang. Remnant needs her.Otherwise, they were doomed.
