Here's a chapter for you all.

Reviews:

Ironshot - Great story so far. As good as Ren and Nora are together, (opposites attract) I'd kind of like to see a Ruby/Ren pairing...Lancaster for the options listed. If you change your mind about modifying Crescent Rose, I'd like to see a double ended version similar to the one used by the silver-eyed Reaper from season 6

Thanks, I might do Ruby/Ren at some point, depends on how things go.

Seros109 - Will Summer ever use magic? Or will that rather be forgotten by her?

The costume for the birthday was a sweet idea!

Longer chapters would be nice!

Keep it up

Well...

I thought it was interesting.

I'll try.

Thanks

KingHoborg - Oh no... don't take Ruby to anime... there's NO WAY she could come out of that unscathed. All those weapons, the fights, the heroes and villains! No. It's best she doesn't go to anime.

Thanks for the rather dramatic reaction, I've fixed it.

ultima-owner - The Empathy are the grimm she's talking about, right?

I will neither confirm nor deny.

Archer1eye - Heh, so at this rate Ruby is growing up dreaming of being the noble knight determined to save the princess from the big bad? Also I'm glad you are addressing the fact Summer is more Summer than Rose. It is a mess that I'm not sure how could be written but I'm glad it isn't being overlooked at least. Curious how long until the magic happens?

Maybe or maybe not. I like to do things like that with characters, sometimes. As for magic, well...

starboy454 - excellent update

Thanks

Jlargent - You misspelled "Anima". I could see Summer coming up with several contingencies due to her past as Potter. By the way, are you going to introduce certain pop culture media like Monopoly or the like to Remnant since Summer could make a killing from that alone.

I thank you for letting me know. You may or may not be right.

Night Hunter533 - I think this is for the wrong story, Helljumper206 - I'm confuse?, and LoneWanderer823 - Am I missing something, or does this chapter feel like it was misplaced?

You are all correct, I screwed up.

Rose Garden: 6

Lancaster: 4

Chapter 5

Ozpin's POV

It was almost two years after Summer's mission that she felt well enough to meet with me, though I would have preferred it to be earlier, she'd needed her healing.

'If she had died,' I mentally sighed,'That would be yet another mistake I've made. Not only in the fight against Salem but another who would die because of my choices.'

It was times like these that I really think I shouldn't have taken Empyrean's offer. What good can one person do? Why only one flawed man? It was at times like these that I wondered if things would be better if Salem and my positions were reversed.

"Professor Ozpin," I looked up and found Summer standing before me.

"Summer, Hello," I greeted, "Do you feel well enough to give your report?"

She nodded, "I have good news and bad news."

"Let's start with the bad," I sighed.

"Salem has a type of Grimm I've never heard of before," Summer informed, "A Grimm that radiates despair, despair I was so surprised by I couldn't use my Silver Eyes. The very air around me was fogging up as the temperature dropped."

I nodded, while there were grim that were rightfully fear-inspiring and some that made one feel an emotion, not even I had heard of a Grimm like this.

"Professor Ozpin, I'm worried and now I am sure Qrow passed on my suggestions, but I'd like to become a teacher at Beacon in a few year's time," Summer informed.

I looked at her, "How many years?"

"Four, I still need to be around for my girls until I'm sure they are over 'The Incident,'" She replied.

"I imagine the younger child isn't taking it well," I noted, no surprise the now ten-year-old would be affected.

"Professor, there's something else. Something that came about afterward, this is the good news," Summer informed.

"I'd be delighted to hear it then," I told her, curious and especially interested, any good news was good for our side.

Summer then held out her hand and soft white and red lights swirled over her hand.

"Summer, do you have any idea what you are doing?" I asked, never expecting this.

'She's using magic,' I thought.

"This power, with it came memories, an entire life. A girl named Rose is the reason I have this ability," She informed.

"This power came from someone? The Maidens couldn't do this," I said, "Was it an experiment of Salem's?"

"No, the girl never came in contact with a Maiden or Salem," Summer answered.

"Is this why your memory was affected?" I asked, deciding to ensure her health was stable.

"Yes, it has settled and the memories are coming back," She answered with a thankful smile.

"Come by once a week and I'll teach you what I can," I informed, "I owe you that and much more for the information and the hope you've just given me."

My spark of hope was fueled slightly by this information and I was prepared to put my stake in the ability of Summer Rose.

Summer's POV

I sighed Raven sat across from me, ranting about her tribe and the idiots some of the men acted like.

"Raven," I said, "Have you thought about what I asked before?"

"I will talk to Yang, just..." She paused, "I'm going to wait until she goes to Beacon. I know it's not what most think a good mother would do, but I do believe you raising Yang was for the best. Qrow and I were raised by the Tribe, we were raised to be "murderers and thieves" as Qrow would call it and I think Yang is better off with you and Tai. While I could have stayed, the Tribe needed a strong leader with a concept they could grow from. I'm giving back to them for the care they gave us."

"Raven, if you finish paying this debt, what will you do? Come back to us? Or will you keep a distance?" I asked.

"I don't trust Ozpin," Raven said immediately.

"Not trusting him and working with him are two different things," I told her, "You can question him at every turn, but who is the bigger threat? A man who spends his days dealing with teenagers or a woman who controls the Grimm and probably wants us all dead?"

She paused.

"Raven, Ozpin is one man constrained by his morals and who has made many mistakes. I admit that, but no matter his secrets or his choices, he does care for his allies," I informed, "I promise you, if he is a threat to us, to Tai and Qrow, to Ruby and Yang, we'll take him down together. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Raven smirked, "He does deal with teenagers all day, are we sure he's not the bigger threat. Anyone with patience like that is either Saint or Sin."

"A little column A, A little Column B," I shot back and we both laughed.

Yang's POV

I got home from Signal expecting an empty house or cookie from Mom and I noticed Mom talking with someone, tiptoeing over, I stopped held my ear to the wall and heard Mom and Uncle Qrow talking.

"She said that she'd be happier to meet Yang when she makes it to Beacon. The values she's been raised with will have set enough that she doesn't need to worry about screwing Yang up," Mom said.

"I guess, we were raised by a group of murders and thieves, after all," Uncle Qrow stated.

Mom laughed, "She quoted you exactly!"

Uncle Qrow grumbled, "At least if she does fuck up, you're here to fix it."

"Qrow, she's your sister, have more faith," Mom said and I heard her smacking him.

"Summer, you have more faith in her than anyone else," Uncle Qrow sighed.

Mom sighed, "I understand why she left Yang with me and Tai, Qrow, we were soft and nurturing and she couldn't be that, unlike you, she couldn't make that switch."

They both went quiet.

I decided then was the time to announce my presence, "Mom! I'm home!"

"Yang, sweetheart," Mom said as she came out of the room and grabbed me into a hug, "Ruby decided to stay back again?"

"Yeah, she said she's close to a breakthrough," I answered.

"That girl sure loves her weapons," Mom said, "I'm going to make dinner."

"Okay," I said and as soon as she was gone Uncle Qrow sighed, "How much did you hear?"

"You were talking about My Mother, were you?" I asked.

"Yes, we were talking about Raven," He informed.

"Beacon, then?" I questioned.

"You get into Beacon and she said she'd meet up with you," He answered, "She wants Summer's teachings to sink in."

I smiled, "Mom is great."

"If you start liking the idea of calling Raven '"Mom" what are you going to do about Summer?" Qrow asked.

Ruby's POV

I smiled as I returned home, carrying a box holding within my masterpiece. I entered the house and shocked everyone inside as the door slammed behind me.

"Ruby?!" Mom gasped.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle Qrow, I have done it!" I said.

Idly noting that Uncle Qrow was around much more often than before, I smiled and set the box down.

"You've finished this pet project of yours?" Dad asked.

"Yes!" I shouted gleefully.

"Well, kid, show us?" Uncle Qrow said.

So, I ripped the top off the box to reveal my creation and when I picked it up, it began to expand until I held a sniper rifle and before anyone could say anything it shifted and I held a scythe, all in my colors, red and black.

Mom smiled, "Well then, I think you've earned this."

I blinked and then my eyes widened as I saw her holding a cloak, not another white cloak as she'd always given me before, but a pure red one.

Before any of knew it my semblance was activated and I wore the cloak.

Off to the side, Yang was smiling, "Don't think for a minute you're not getting your own version Yang."

Yang and I both blinked and Mom turned to Dad, who smirked and entered his room when he exited, he held an orange scarf with Yang's flaming heart symbol.

"When I was your age and I made White Thorn, my mom and dad gave me my cloak," Mom said, "And now, I'm giving you both something of your own."

"Thanks, Mom," Yang and I said in unison.

Summer's POV

"My girls are growing up," I told Qrow.

"Yes, they are," He agreed.

"So, you've been around a lot more," I noted with a smirk.

"Fine, you were right," He sighed, every time he came back within a week after the last visit I never forget to tease him.

"So it's better?" I asked more seriously.

"Yes, though if I don't like someone, it still acts up," He stated, looking away.

"Ironwood?" I asked, definitely knowing Qrow well enough by now.

"Ironwood," He confirmed.

I smiled and shifted, surprising Qrow when I ended up leaning against him, "No surprise, you two don't get along too well."

"Summer, what are you doing?" Qrow asked.

"You are now my pillow," I informed, "Resign yourself to your fate."

Qrow blinked and after a few minutes relaxed, but I could feel him glaring half-heartedly.

"Summer, you're going to be teaching at Beacon soon, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked in return, "Going to miss me?"

"I can visit the school," He reminded, "No, I'm asking because I plan on visiting and want to know if you want me around mucking up your schedule."

"Qrow, you are welcome at any time. Just like Yang or Ruby," I informed, "Though Tai needs to wait until classes are over."

He chuckled, "Okay then."

I smiled at my students as they entered, "Hello everyone, take a seat and we'll begin."

As soon as everyone managed to do as I asked, I made my way to the center of the arena. I held the Scroll pad in my arms as I skimmed the names of the students.

"Welcome one and all, I'm the newest teacher here at Beacon, my name is Summer Rose and I'm taking over from Professor Goodwitch who is moving to a more administrative position," I began, "I'm your combat teacher and I'll be here to help you build your fighting skills."

Some students seemed to not care for what I was saying, but those that were listening were doing so intently.

"Now, I'm not going to start with any battles today but we are definitely going to get some ground rules set," I informed, "So that means PAY ATTENTION!"

The students not listening were now, jumping to attention.

"Now that everyone is paying attention, here are the rules," I stated.

"Firstly, I am in charge here and if I say a battle is over IT. IS. OVER. Got it?" I said, my gaze sharp and my tone pointed.

Several students blinked in surprise.

"Secondly, in these battles, the use of semblances is allowed on a minor basis and some semblances will not be allowed at all if necessary," I explained, "Lastly, anyone seen bullying in my class will find themselves volunteering for demonstrations of an actual Huntress' skills."

I heard several students gulp, "That said, I am here to help and teach you all, if you have any problems or if you want any pointers I will be glad to help."

After that, I decided to let them spar with their teammates as I acted as referee for any that decided to do so, while most just began playing games on their Scrolls, a few groups sparred for a bit.

"Professor Rose?" I turned to the speaker and was met with a young woman with long, brown hair and brown eyes. She had a pair of brown rabbit ears, identifying her as a Faunus. She wore the Beacon Academy uniform, which consists of a white, form-fitting top, with a collar lined with black and a pink ribbon tied neatly below. She also appears wearing a dark-brown, long-sleeved jacket that comes down around her chest over the shirt. Her leggings consist of two parts: a pair of dark-brown shorts and a pair of black form-fitting leggings that come to just below her hips.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Do you think I could work with you on something?" She asked.

"Sure..." I said trailing off.

"Oh, I'm Velvet Scarlatina," She said when she realized why I was trailing off.


That's a wrap for this chapter, I hope you all liked the chapter. As always Follows and Favorites are appreciated, but reviews are immensely helpful.
