The flight of the airship ended as it landed on a platform. The whole group had reached their destination. Inside the ship, everyone prepped to leave, except for Asarirn. Asarirn continued to look at the window from the ship, even though the ride was over. Ozpin walked up to Asarirn, as he turned towards, knowing what going to happen next.

"Are you ready to go?" Ozpin asked. Asarirn looked pass Ozpin to find the rest of the group were standing, waiting for Asarirn to accompany them. Asarirn replied with a simple nod as he began to follow Ozpin out of the ship. The rest of the group, soon followed them as they walked on by. As Asarirn left the ship, he was amazed by the look of the whole building; Beacon Academy.

As the whole group walked through the corridors to reach the elevator. Asarirn couldn't help but gazed upon the beauty of the building. Ozpin saw Asarirn admiring the structure.

"So," Ozpin decided to speak. "What do you think of this place?"

"I'm rather quite impressed with the building," Asarirn replied.

"Well, Beacon is the best school, here in Vale," Ruby explained.

"Is that so?" Asarirn questioned. He thought about Ruby's words carefully for a moment. School…I think I have a better idea for the reason of being here. Asarirn looked back to Ozpin for any signs. Ozpin simply smiled as Asarirn looked at him. Asarirn soon believed what was the whole purpose for Ozpin to bring him here. He decided to go along with it until he knows exactly what Ozpin wants.

Everyone entered the elevator that leads to the Headmaster's Office. During the whole elevator ride, everyone could feel the awkwardness except for Asarirn and Ozpin. The girls believed it's not every day, you meet a person that doesn't reveal who he was. Especially, kept his face hidden from everyone. That's pretty much what the girls thought about, at the moment.

The elevator reached the destination at the top floor. Once the doors opened, everyone proceeded to leave the cart. But, everyone stopped when Ozpin signaled them to. Ozpin turned to the group before speaking.

"I want everyone to wait here. I wish to speak to the boy alone." He turned his attention to Glynda. "I want you to leave the boy's things with me."

"You sure about this?" Glynda asked. She watched as Asarirn stepped out of the elevator and stood next to Ozpin.

"Yes, I'm very sure."

"I trust your decision then." Glynda quickly dropped off Asarirn's thing before heading back into the elevator.

Asarirn and Ozpin watched the door closed to receive their privacy. Asarirn watch Ozpin to know what's next.

"Have a seat," Ozpin gestured to Asarirn. Asarirn sat in the seat that was in front of desk while Ozpin took his seat. "Now, we can resume what we left off."

"Very well."

"Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Asarirn replied.

"Likewise, so tell me," Ozpin took a pause before continuing on, "What is your name?"

Asarirn instantly knew that Ozpin knew he lied about the name but tried to play it off. "I believe Arranis Shadow is my name."

"Ah, but is it the name you go by? Ozpin questioned.

"What do you mean?" Asarirn tried to play dumb.

"I do believe you misheard me, I asked what you call yourself. And we both know that Arranis Shadow isn't the name you go by now.

Asarirn knew it's true that Arranis Shadow is not what he call himself anymore. "How did you know that's not my name?"

"Well, I had a hunch when you first refuse to give your name. But then, you decided to give a name."

"I thought we trust each other enough for me to give my name," Asarirn said jokingly, knowing he had been caught.

"Yes, but you had the impression you would refuse to reveal who you are, regardless. Consider, you risked a lot to hide your identity up till now.

Asarirn let out a sigh before speaking, "You're right. The true is I haven't called myself that name in a long time."

"So, are you willing to give me a name that you called yourself with?"

"My name..." Asarirn started to say. But he was hesitate to give his name. He doesn't know how Ozpin would react. "My name is Asarirn Nightlyis."

Ozpin's eyes widen, for a split second, by the heard of the name. He returned to his normal expression before continuing on. "Asarirn Nightlyis," He repeated himself, once more. "Now, that's sound like a name you would go by." Asarirn couldn't tell if he was pretending he heard that name or not. The thing that confused Asarirn the most, was when Ozpin grabbed one of his Ice Weaver off the table before tossing it to Asarirn. Asarirn caught the blade and was stunned by Ozpin's action.

"Why would you give me my blade back?" Asarirn questioned. "You know I could easily kill you."

"But, the real question is: would you though?" Ozpin responded. They both knew that Asarirn wasn't going to do it. Asarirn just sat in his seat, quietly.

"Anyway, the reason you were arrested this night because you were declare as a murder," Ozpin started to explain. "I believe this was a misunderstanding, would you say so?" Asarirn replied with a simple nod. "But," he continued on. Ozpin pulled a photo from a file and place it on the table toward Asarirn. "The question is: Did you or did you not, kill this person." Asarirn leaned toward the photo, to his surprise, it was the assassin from that night on the rooftop.

Asarirn leaned back to his normal position. "I will, honestly, tell you this," Asarirn took a pause before continuing. "I did kill that man."

"What about these people?" Ozpin queried as he pulled multiple photos and placed on the table. Asarirn looked at the photos. He couldn't recognized any of the people on the photos.

"I did not kill those people," Asarirn responded.

"You admit that you killed this man," Ozpin pointed to picture of the assassin. "But, you declare that you did not kill any of these people," he said as he pointed to the rest. "Is that the true?"

"Yes, I would admit that I only killed that man but not the others," Asarirn explained.

"Why did you kill that man?"

"Self-defense," Asarirn answered. He didn't want to reveal any information about the Silent Angel as much possible. Ozpin smiled by the thought that this was a whole misunderstanding. He also had an idea that could help this situation. Ozpin tossed Asarirn's long blade to him. Asarirn caught the blade and placed it back where it was, on the waist of the back.

"Ah I see. The reason you have been accused of murder because of recent events."

"Recent events?"

"Yes, there have been cases of murder of political leaders and varies members of the White Fang."

"When did this started to happen?"

"Well, started about a week ago," Ozpin stated. Asarirn wasn't surprised by the time of murder. He could pretty much predict who would cause these murders. He knew it was those people from the night on the roof top. "But, since you admit you caused this man's death and not the other ones," he continued as he held up the photo of the assassin. "That's should be the only proof of your innocents."

"I'm glad to hear even though I did kill a man."

"By the way, why does this man's coat looked similar to yours?" Ozpin asked curiously. Asarirn didn't respond. "Does the red on your coat signifies you're the leader?"

"No." Asarirn said in a firm tone. He doesn't want Ozpin to gather more information on the Silent Angels as much as possible.

"So, what does the red signifies?"

"Red signifies the higher ranks of the organization."

"And what organization is that?"

"I can't reveal that information to you."

Ozpin smiled by Asarirn's refusal to give any more information. That thought give Ozpin an idea. "Very well, that's your choice. I won't hold it against you."

"I'm glad to hear."

"You're pretty much free to go," Ozpin stated as he gave Asarirn his other Ice Weaver and the rest of his things; his bag mostly. Asarirn was pleased to leave but Ozpin grabbed his attention before he could try leave. "However," Ozpin said as he pulled a piece of paper from his desk. "Do you know what this is?" Asarirn shook his head in responds. "This is application for this school," Ozpin explained. "I want you to enroll in it."

Asarirn was shocked by Ozpin's idea for him to enroll in Beacon Academy. He quickly recollected his thoughts before speaking up. He knew there was something more to this.

"Why do you want me to enroll in your school?" Asarirn questioned.

"Well, you would have a better home than sleep on rooftops," Ozpin claimed. Asarirn ignored the fact that Ozpin knew he slept on rooftops during the whole time. "Also, you would have three squares meals and such.

"Ozpin…" Asarirn cut Ozpin off. "What is it do you really me need for?"

Ozpin smiled. "You're quite perceptive," He admired. "The reason I want you to enroll because I need someone to gather information. Based on your profile, you're the type of person who moves through the shadows and the person that never reveal information."

"So, you want me to be your spy?" Asarirn concluded.

"Somewhat, there are other things I need for you to do. Basically, you running tasks from me, in exchange for enrollment for this academy."

"If I refuse?"

"Well, think it this way. If you do enroll in this school then I could clean your name from this situation you're in. If your name was cleared, you could walk around the city without people fearing you. Honestly, this should be a win-win situation."

Asarirn sat there for a moment to think about the offer. He could be able to go through the city without the police force stopping him. On the other hand, he doesn't belong here in this world. He even have to go to school which could stall the search even more. But one thing caught in his mind, the thought of going to school. How long has it been since I have gone to school? Hmm…. I guess it's been four years. The thought give Asarirn the chance to live a normal life for once. Going to school, that's a nice thought. Wait, this isn't a normal school, this is a place to train people to kill monsters. But still…The thought was interrupted by Ozpin.

"Well, what do you think?"

The idea that Asarirn concluded, Normal life. He looked straight at Ozpin, who waited for his responds. Asarirn let a deep sigh before answering, "I will take that offer."

"Great to hear," Ozpin was glad to hear. He reached for a pen on his desk and looked at Asarirn. "Let's fill out your information for enrollment, shall we?"

-*RWBY*-

Team RWBY and Glynda Goodwitch waited in the room next door, waiting for Ozpin to finish his questioning on Arranis Shadow. Ruby paced around the room, impatiently. She just hated the fact they have to wait here while they talked about the whole situation. Yang was leaning on her side on the wall. The expression on Yang's face told that she was also bored of waiting. Blake was simply leaning on the wall with her arms crossed. Weiss stood there while looking through her scroll for random information. And finally Glynda stood by the door while working on school work on her scroll. Ruby decided to break the silence.

"I wonder what they are talking about in there," Ruby wondered.

"Probably, details of tonight's encounter," Weiss answered.

"Is that so?" Ruby continued to wonder. Yang saw Ruby spacing out about the whole situation and grinned. Yang walked up to Ruby and wrapped her arms around her.

"Ah, are you thinking about your dream man," Yang commented.

Ruby's face turned red. "That's not true!"

"Ms. Rose," Glynda caught her attention. "You can't possibly have an affection for this boy."

"No!" Ruby pleaded.

"Then what are you thinking about?" Blake asked to get Ruby out of her situation.

Ruby let a deep breath before answering, "I didn't know the guy would be real." Everyone gave puzzling looks.

"What do you mean?" Glynda questioned.

"Well the thing is I dreamt about this guy before actually meeting him for real."

"Wait," Weiss interrupted. "You're saying you know this person before meeting him."

"I don't know. The only difference was for this one he was not that talkative than the one in my dream."

"Wow. That's really freaky," Yang pointed out.

"This is what I was thinking about. I tried to figure out if the guy in my dreams, is the guy in the same room with Ozpin."

"How do you know it's not the same person?" Glynda asked. Everyone was surprise for Glynda to actually care for their discussion. They just assumed she was also bored being stuck in the same room with them. But in reality, Glynda saw there were other people who wore the same coat as the boy.

"This guy wore the same coat and wielded the same blade as the one in my dream. So I have to assume it's the same person."

"I guess so," Yang commented. "Just be careful, we just don't much about this guy."

The room fell back into silence but with everyone having the same thought: Who is this man?

-*RWBY*-

"We are almost done," Ozpin stated. They spend their time filling out Asarirn's enrollment paper with Asarirn's information. Information like date of birth, age, and etc. "There just one more thing to cover."

"And what would that be?"

"I need to have your picture taken. So, I need you to remove your hood, if you may?" Asarirn froze in his seat. The one thing he wanted to avoid.

"Can I have my picture with this on?" Asarirn tried to convince Ozpin.

"If you are afraid of letting other people see your face, I will tell you they won't. So, rest assure, this will help identify you, if any happens."

Asarirn sat in his seat in silence. It's true, if he had his picture taken the way his is now, then people could wear the same coat and claim they are him. Asarirn had no choice but to reveal himself to Ozpin. Asarirn slowly reached for his hood and pulled it off from his head, revealing his face to Ozpin.

Ozpin saw the mark on Asarirn's face as he was pulling off his hood. He smiled, knowing he was right about this boy. "So, I should be honored in the presents of a Weapon Master." Asarirn's eyes widen in surprise by Ozpin's claim.

"So, you know who I am then?"

"You claimed to be a Nightlyis and I needed to confirm it. But, I wouldn't expect you to be a Nightlyis Weapon Master."

"Why is that?"

"Consider you are far too young to be a Nightlyis Weapon Master."

"I will tell you this," Asarirn stated. "I am the Nightlyis Weapon Master. If you don't believe me, I don't care."

"I believe you. I doubt anyone would claim that kind of thing," Ozpin explained. "But, tell me this, how did you get this gift?"

"I can't tell you this," Asarirn stated. "Because I don't know much about that, myself."

"I thought the Nightlyis would be extinct by now, but I glad they are returning."

"The thing is I'm not from this world," Asarirn claimed to avoid any confusion.

Ozpin was surprise by Asarirn's statement, by thought, this would explain why. "So, tell me why you are here in this world?"

"You believed the fact I'm from another world, so easily," Asarirn stated.

"That's because the Nightlyis haven't be heard of for hundreds of years. I doubt they would suddenly show up again. So why are you in this world?"

"I can't tell you what business I have with your world but I'm stuck here for the time being. Please if you mind, I would like to not give any more information on that."

"Very well. Let's finish your enrollment with a picture." A small window popped up in front of Asarirn. A quick flash indicating a picture was taken. "There, all done." Asarirn let out a sigh of relieve for being done with paperwork. Ozpin reached into his desk and pulled out a scroll. He placed it on the desk in front of Asarirn.

"This is a device for you," Ozpin said as Asarirn picked up the scroll.

"What is it for?"

"This device is use as identification and as well as commutation," Ozpin explained. "Usually, you don't receive it until after the entrance exam and you are assigned a team."

"Team?"

"Yes, the purpose is not only to train young men and women to fight monster but learn to work as a team. Just like those girls you met. But, you are going to be an expectation."

"Expectation?"

"Mostly, when we enroll people into this school, we have to make sure we have enough people to make a four-man team. But, since you enroll later into the school year, we don't have three more people for you to join."

"So, am I the only one without a team, then?"

"No," Ozpin claimed. Asarirn gave a confuse look. "I going to have you join an already existing team," Ozpin continued on.

"So, what team am I going to join?"

"That is determine in your entrance exam."

"Are there anymore question before letting the ladies join the room?" Ozpin asked. Asarirn shook his head in responds. Ozpin pressed a button before speaking, "You may enter."

Asarirn heard the door slowly behind him. He quickly pulled up his hood before anyone else could see. The girls entered the room to join the guys. Everyone were unease by the fact Asarirn had his equipment back but entered the room with caution. Ozpin turned his attention toward Glynda.

"Glynda, I need you to submit a report that states this boy is not the person they are looking for. Tell them, this was a simple misunderstanding."

"Are you sure about this?" Glynda questioned. Ozpin nodded.

"Anyway," Ozpin tried to change the subject. "We are all here because what happened tonight at the warehouse. Based on Ms. Rose's report, you girls were chasing Roman Torchwick until you reached a mishap.

"Yes," Ruby confirmed. "We managed to corner Roman until a man showed up."

"A man?" Glynda questioned.

"This man suddenly appeared, claimed his name to be Blaze and offer to help Roman in exchange for a place to stay," Blake started to explain.

"His semblance is fire. Which he used at long range and wields a sword at close range," Ruby said.

"Not to mention his sword is a Mystical Blade," Weiss stated.

"He used a Mystical Blade?" Ruby questioned.

"Are you sure about that, Ms. Schnee?" Ozpin asked to confirm.

"I'm pretty sure, its fits the description of the old textbooks."

"Blaze was a far stronger opponent than we have anticipated," Ruby continued. "If it weren't for Arranis here, we would have been defeat, sooner or later."

"Is he that powerful?" Glynda asked.

"Consider he wields a Mystical Blade, then yes," Weiss stated.

"Yes, the old tales claimed these blades grant the user immense power. Enough to conquer kingdoms by themselves." Everyone gave concern look. "The old books, also states, in order to defeat a Mystical Blade user is with another Mystical Blade user," Ozpin stated. "If it weren't for Asarirn engaging this man then it could gone far worse than you would expect." He looked at Asarirn. "Do you know this Blaze person, Arranis?"

Asarirn quickly caught on with Ozpin's use of his other name. He believed Ozpin would refer to him as Arranis in the presents of others. "I don't know him, this is the first time that I knew about Blaze's face and name."

"Why do you have those Mystical Blades?" Weiss interrogated Asarirn.

"Weiss…" Ruby said in a soft tone.

"For the time being, I am not going to reveal to you, the origin of these blades," Asarirn responded. Weiss narrowed her eyes at Asarirn, she suspected he hiding something that nobody knows.

"Then what were you doing at the warehouse district, Arranis?" Glynda continued to question Asarirn.

"I tried to camp under the stars," Asarirn claimed. "When I was on the brink of sleep, there was large commotion. I investigated the cause of the commotion and found this girl." Asarirn pointed at Ruby, "chasing this Roman guy. So, I decided to follow them."

"That's interesting to hear," Ozpin claimed. But, I believed it's getting late and you girls have classes tomorrow. So let's end it for night. And Glynda?"

"Yes?"

"I need you to assign Arranis a combat locker and temporary room until he assigned a team."

"You don't mean…"

"This boy has enroll into this school," Ozpin stated. Everyone was surprised to hear this guy was going to enroll into this school.

Glynda let of sigh of disappointment before speaking, "Very well, the locker is not a problem to assign but the room, however, would be a problem. We don't have any free space left. If this boy need a room then he has to sleep in an already existing team's room.

"He can sleep in our room," Ruby jumped in. The rest of Team RWBY were surprised by Ruby's quick decision.

"Great, that would be perfect," Ozpin quick to agree. "Glynda, make the necessary arrangements."

"You can't be serious…" Asarirn said, he was quite disappointed by Ozpin's decision.

"I honestly felt bad for the boy," Glynda claimed.

"Oh, we can't be that bad," Yang tried to argue. Glynda gave a cold stare in responds before heading for the elevator.

Asarirn stood up from his seat. He was about to make his blade disappear but Ozpin stopped him.

"I need you to hold onto those blade and placed them in your locker," Ozpin ordered.

"Why?"

"If you trust me, then it would be the best if you did."

"Very well," Asarirn acknowledged.

Everyone started to head for the elevator but Asarirn waited until everyone could barely hear them before speaking.

"Ozpin, I will tell you this, I could be your greatest ally but I'm not sure for the others though," Asarirn said to Ozpin before heading for the elevator. Ozpin kept that thought in his head and wondered about it.

-*RWBY*-

The whole elevator ride placed everyone on edge.

Weiss cleared her throat before asking, "Any reason you are carrying those blades?" Everyone looked at Asarirn for an answer.

"Ozpin told me to carry them for the time being," Asarirn replied.

"Why?"

"Oh, I know what he meant," Glynda claimed. Everyone looked towards her to understand what she meant.

"What do you mean?" Blake asked.

"Just because you cleared the misunderstanding with Ozpin," Glynda said as she was looking at Asarirn. "Doesn't mean you cleared it with everyone else."

"I understand then," Asarirn responded.

"So, is he going to have to carry those swords during the whole time?" Ruby asked.

"No, there are cameras placed throughout the main corridors," Glynda started to explain. "As long, the cameras have sights on Mr. Shadow until he stored his weapons in his locker. Then that might cleared with the rest of the people."

"I'm not the one who prefer storing my weapon. But like I have a choice in that matter."

The conversation ended as the elevator reached their destination. The group walked through the corridors until they reached the locker room, where they stored their weapons. Glynda led the group through the locker room until they are in front of a certain locker. Glynda opened the locker to find it empty.

"This will be your locker," Glynda said as she gestured toward the empty locker. "The locker is used for storing extra weapons and equipment. But, in your case, you will store your blades until the start of the entrance exam."

Asarirn walked up to the locker. He took a moment before placing the two Ice Weaver into the locker. He watched as the mechanism of the locker clamped onto the blades. He let out a sigh in disappointment, knowing to leave his Mystical blades in the locker. Glynda cleared her throat to grab Asarirn's attention.

"You are forgetting the other blade," Glynda indicated.

Asarirn quickly detached the blade from his waist. As he held the blade in his hands, he pulled the blade from the sheath, enough to reveal the strange writings on the blade. He looked at a specific part of the writing. "We live to fight on what we believed in…" An image of a black hair girl with green eyes appeared in Asarirn's mind. He quickly shook the thought away.

Everyone watched as Asarirn examined the writing on the blade before sheathing it. Asarirn placed the blade into the locker before closing it. He turned to Glynda and waited for the next task.

"The next thing I need to do would be prep your bed in Team RWBY's room," Glynda said. She turned toward the team before continuing, "I need someone to come with me while the rest give Mr. Shadow a tour of the school until we finish with the preparation."

"I will go with you," Weiss volunteered.

Everyone left the locker room before the group split up. The group watched as Glynda and Weiss walked off, leaving only Asarirn, Ruby, Yang, and Blake standing in the hallway.

"Well, let's get the tour underway," Yang stated.

"Can we skip the tour?" Asarirn requested as he leaned against a wall. Everyone looked at Asarirn in confusion.

"Any reason why?" Ruby asked.

"Honestly, I pretty exhausted from night's event," Asarirn explained. "I just don't want to walk around aimlessly and barely remember anything about this place."

"Ok, what are we going to do, then?" Blake asked.

"I prefer to stand here, and wait for the room to be finish," Asarirn responded. "If that's all right with you."

"I don't have a problem, right guys?" Ruby claimed as the rest nodded in agreement.

-*RWBY*-

Everyone stood in the hallway and waited. This gave the chance for Asarirn to rest a bit, considering he was about to go to sleep before the whole events kept him awake up to this point. Blake decided to ask the question that everyone seemed to be afraid to ask.

"You kept your face hidden from everyone," Blake stated. "Since, you're going to be a student, why don't you show your face to us?"

"There's a reason to not show my face, and let's keep it that way," Asarirn said.

"The first time we met, you hardly talked to me, but you are more talkative now, why?" Ruby asked.

Asarirn took a moment in thought before answering, "There's a reason for that."

Everyone looked at Asarirn as they expected more.

"Are you going to give that reason?" Yang asked.

"Not at the moment."

The conversation was interrupted when Ruby's scroll started to ring. Ruby quickly answered it.

"Hello…Hey, Weiss…Ok…We will right there." The phone call ended as Ruby hanged up. Ruby turned toward the group and smiled. "Look like, they are done with the room," Ruby explained. "Let's go."

Asarirn followed the team to their room. Asarirn doesn't know what to expect from them. Asarirn thought that, considering Ruby would insisted on having him to stay in their room. He has a feeling they would ask questions about things that they wouldn't talk about with the others.

They reached a door that claimed by Team RWBY. As they entered the room, they found Glynda and Weiss, waiting for them to return. Asarirn made a quick inspection of the room. He found two beds on the left side of the room. He noticed one of the beds was suspended in the air by ropes, while the other one sat underneath the bed. The right side of the room, two of the bed stack on top on another. The thing Asarirn noticed was a single bed sat in the middle of the room, in between the beds. The bed, itself, only have just the mattress and a single pillow. He can only assumed it was his bed.

"You will live here, temporary, until you are assigned a team," Glynda explained. "The bed in the middle is yours to sleep in. I apologized, we couldn't provide any blanket for you at the moment."

"It's doesn't matter," Asarirn said. "A bed is a bed."

Glynda walked up to Asarirn.

"Did Professor Ozpin gave you a scroll, by any chance?" Glynda asked. Asarirn replied with a simple nod. "Can I see your scroll for a moment?" Glynda requested. Asarirn reached under his coat and pulled his scroll before handing it to Glynda. Asarirn watched as Glynda goes through Asarirn's scroll and made some inputs before handing back. "If you have any trouble," Glynda looked at Team RWBY, "anything, please contact me. Please have a good night, everyone."

They watched Glynda left the room, leaving Asarirn with Team RWBY. Ruby walked up to Asarirn with a smile on her face.

"I think we all haven't property introduce ourselves," Ruby stated. "I'm Ruby."

"Yang," Yang said.

"Blake," Blake called out.

"I'm Weiss Schnee," Weiss introduced herself.

"If you haven't already know, my name is Arranis," Asarirn claimed. "It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Asarirn placed his bag, he had with him, at the foot of the bed before sitting on his bed. A small vial fell out of the bag and rolled to Ruby's feet. Ruby picked up the vial and examined it. The vial contained some green liquid.

"What is this?" Ruby asked. Asarirn held out his hand to Ruby. She handed the vial in responds. Asarirn took a quick glance of the vial before placed it back in the bag.

"It's an antidote for poison," Asarirn explained.

"Why do you have that?" Yang asked.

"Yeah, the medical technology here are extremely well, there are no need to have that. These people can take care of you," Weiss explained.

"It's an antidote for a specific poison," Asarirn specified.

"What poison is that?" Ruby asked once more.

"A poison, I hope I never encounter," Asarirn responded. "Let's keep it at that."

"Well, anyway let's get some sleep," Ruby said. "We have school tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'm beat," Yang claimed.

Asarirn noticed Yang started to take off her jacket. The moment Yang grabbed her shirt and was about to take it off, that's when Asarirn stood up from his bed and walk out of the room. He closed the door behind him, leaving everyone else in a state of confusion. Weiss noticed Yang dressing for sleep before speaking.

"Well, at least we know he isn't a pervert," Weiss said.

"Consider, this is a first time that a boy is sleeping here," Blake claimed.

"Yeah, we should be careful next time," Ruby said.

"At least, he is a gentlemen about it," Yang said.

The team started to change into their sleepwear, while Asarirn stood in the hallway.

-*RWBY*-

Asarirn waited patiently out in the hallway, waiting for Team RWBY to finish changing. He leaned against the wall, next to the door of Team RWBY's room.

Asarirn recalled the events at the warehouse. Especially, what Blaze had said, "Show me that power of yours." I don't know he knows what am I capably off or he has confident in his skills, Asarirn thought to himself. Asarirn closed his eyes for a moment before opening again, revealing his red eyes.

The moment he was in that form, he instantly felt light headed, like he felt he was going to fall unconscious. He looked at his right hand and noticed his hand was shaking violently. Then a dark voice spoke in his mind.

"Let darkness flow through."

With that thought, he immediately dismissed the form, left him breathing heavily. He looked back at his hand and his hand stopped shaking. He pulled off the glove of his right hand, leaving the hand bared. He closed his eyes and meditated. A blue symbol appeared on the back of his right hand. He opened his eyes and examined the symbol. The blue symbol only told Asarirn that it just the mark of ice that he was bored with. The mark disappeared as he dismissed it. He thought about the possibility, Hmm… maybe, it seems I just tried. I could have overextended myself and that's why that form reacted that why. A thought occurred that allowed Asarirn to doubt himself. No… This is the first time that ever happened, it couldn't been the lack of energy. But why… The only thing Asarirn could concluded was the seven people from that night. Asarirn slipped the glove back on.

The door, next to Asarirn, opened which he quickly kept his cool. He turned toward the door and found it to be only Ruby. He noticed Ruby already dressed in her sleepwear.

"You may come in now," Ruby said.

Asarirn walked into the room and found everyone already prepared for sleep. Weiss sat in front of a mirror, brushing her hair. Blake sat in her bed, reading as much as she could before sleeping. Yang stood in the middle of the room. By the looks from Yang, she was waiting for Asarirn to come in.

"Sorry about that," Yang apologized. "This is a first time that a boy stayed in our room."

"Its fine," Asarirn said as he walked up to his bed.

"You know, I don't mind if you saw something nice," Yang teased. Blake, Weiss, and Ruby gave a surprised looks at Yang. Especially, Ruby gave Yang the 'What are you doing?' look. They turned to Asarirn for a responds from Yang's mischievous deed. They watched as Asarirn laid on his side, as if he wasn't interested. Yang only gave a sigh of disappointment before climbing onto her bed. The rest, soon, followed afterwards. Ruby turned off the lights.

"Well, good night, everyone," Ruby said to everyone before she climbed into her bed.

The night engulfed the room in darkness. As Asarirn laid in his bed, he couldn't help but felt someone was watching him. He turned onto his left side. Even though, the room was pretty dark, Asarirn could tell that Yang and Blake was staring at him from their beds. Those two turned away from Asarirn, after a moment. Asarirn turned onto his right side. He found only Weiss was watching him before turning away.

Asarirn turned onto his back and stared into the ceiling. Considering that might have a chance of exposing his face by that position. But by the darkness of the room, he have confidents that they won't see his face. But, the thought of having himself got into this situation means the plans for pursuing those people would be delayed. Especially, delaying the fact he won't return back to the other world, anytime soon. I wonder if I could delay the plans longer without causing risks. Even, if I won't be back on time, Three would take my place for the meantime. Asarirn ended his thoughts as he found himself pulling into sleep. The fact that Asarirn hadn't have a bed to sleep in, since he arrived in this world. He drifted into sleep before he knows it.

-*RWBY*-

Blaze walked through a corridor, following Roman Torchwick behind. The deal was if Blaze could get Roman out of trouble, he could crash at his place. Roman felt he could trust this man, even though he had no idea who this guy was.

They continued to walk a bit further until they reached a big room. The room was consisted of multiple sections. There was a table in one area with multiple blueprints and such. One section was used for armory. And even, there was a lounging area which had two long couches that formed a corner. And there was a coffee table in the middle.

Blaze examined the room for a bit before nodding his head in agreement. Roman turned around to Blaze and held out his arms to present the room to Blaze.

"Well, this is our hideout," Roman explained. "It isn't much a home. But, hey, it's something."

"As long I have a place to crash, I honestly don't care," Blaze responded. Blaze continued to inspect the place until he noticed someone. There was a woman sat on one of the couches in the lounging area. This woman had long hair, consisted of half of it being pink, the other half being brown, and with white streaks. She wore a white jacket with a pink interior with brown pants and grey high heel boots.

Blaze walked up to Roman and nudged him in the arm to grab his attention. "Who's that over there," Blaze pointed to the woman. Roman's expression changed from a cheerful look to an angry look. Roman narrowed his eyes before confronting this woman.

"You know, when I said I need you for this deal, I needed you to be there with me," Roman explained to the woman. "If it weren't for my new friend here, I could have been capture."

"Sounds like you had a good time," the woman teased.

"Where were you when I needed you?"

"I told you I have some things to take care of," the woman explained.

Blaze walked up to Roman. He had a closer examination of the woman. Blaze noticed that the woman's left eye was brown, while the other was pink. "So, who is she?" Blaze asked.

Roman let out a sigh before answering, "Blaze, this is Neo and Neo, this is Blaze."

"It's a pleasure," Blaze said as he extended his hand toward Neo. Neo happily shook Blaze's hand. The moment they shook hands, Blaze saw Neo's eye color alternated. Neo smiled in hope for a reaction but Blaze's expression remained the same.

Blaze walked up to the unoccupied couch before resting upon it and closed his eyes. "Well, if you don't mind me, I'm going rest here." He said as he laid his head back on the top of the cushion to rest his head.

"I don't care," Roman replied. He turned back to Neo. "Do you know where "she" at?" Roman asked. Neo only shrugged in responds. Before he could say anymore, a loud woman's voice echoed from the corridor. That caused Roman to be terrified for a second.

"ROMAN!"

A woman entered the room, followed by a boy and a girl. The woman wore a red dress with a fiery design with high heels. She also had long black hair with yellow eyes. The boy behind the first woman had grey wavy hair with grey eyes. He wore a black and grey jacket with black pants. He also has greaves as his weapon. The girl in the back has mint colored hair with red eyes. She wore short white top and white pants with brown chaps. She has dual pistols equipped on her back waist.

The group approached Roman before interrogating him. Blaze opened one of his eyes to check the situation before closing them.

"Roman, I heard the deal went bad," the woman in red said in an unpleasant tone.

"Cinder, I could explain. Those girls caught me in the middle of the deal and cause everyone to scatter," Roman explained.

"And who is that over there," the boy in grey pointed to Blaze.

"That's Blaze," Roman explained once more. Blaze respond by lifting his hand and waved to the group. He still had his eyes closed, not caring what's going on. "He kind of balled me out of the situation," Roman continued to explain. "If it weren't for him, I would have been captured."

"Do you even know him very well?" the girl with green hair questioned.

"Well, we just met…" Roman said in a soft tone.

"Then, how do we know he isn't spying the White Fang?" Cinder interrogated. The girl with green hair quickly drew her pistols and pointed at Blaze. Blaze haven't made any sudden movements except slowly opening his eyes.

Blaze stood up from his resting area and started to approach the group. Even though the pistols were pointed at him, Blaze doesn't even consider the girl as a threat. He stopped as he was close enough to Cinder before clarifying, "Relax, I couldn't even care less for your organization. I made a deal with Roman. If I could get him out of his situation then I could crash at his place."

"We don't have time to deal with hobos like you," the boy in grey barked.

"Watch your tongue, boy. You don't even have the slightest idea of what you are dealing with. Even someone with slightly more intelligence could figure that out," Blaze said with confidents in his tone.

That caused the boy to become angry. He readied his stance and prepared to charge but Cinder held up her hand to stop him. "Mercury."

That caused Mercury to freeze in his place. "He's clearly an enemy."

"Don't think, obey," Cinder responded. She casted a deadly glare at Mercury that caused him to stood back to his normal position. Cinder looked back at Blaze. "What were you doing at the docks?"

"I was waiting for a boy dressed in black," Blaze explained. "I wanted to see how he did in combat. Even Roman can vouch for it."

Cinder looked at Roman, "Is it true?"

"Yeah, I would admit that boy has some skills. I would believe he is better than those girls."

"I think Emerald and I could take him on," Mercury said with determination. Emerald nodded to confirm.

"Just looking at you, tells me you couldn't even touch this boy," Blaze said, purposely insulted Mercury.

"How would you know?" Emerald questioned, by this time, lowered her weapon.

"Let just say, I know this boy like the back of my hand. I think, by now, the boy have joined up with those girls."

"If what you say is true, he could be a threat to the White Fang," Cinder stated. Everyone gave a concerned looks.

"If you like, we can make a deal," Blaze offered.

"And what would that be?" Cinder asked.

"In exchange for letting me continue to rest here, I will handle the boy. Hey, even I will help with your White Teeth or whatever organization."

Cinder gave some thought before coming up with an answer. She smiled. "Very well, I will take on your offer."

"But before we agree upon it, there are some conditions," Blaze said with a smile on his face.

"Ah, it's too good to be true," Mercury stated.

"What are you conditions?" Emerald asked.

"One. I don't want any of you or members of your organization engage the boy. That boy is mine and mine alone."

"Very well," Cinder responded.

"Two," Blaze continued. "You will not question my methods of fighting. I prefer doing things my way. If you're afraid I would draw unwanted attention, rest assured I am very good at covering my tracks."

"Sounds reasonable," Emerald agreed.

"Finally," Blaze continued once more. "There is someone who's going to be a threat to your group, later on." Blaze took a moment before continuing, "The final condition is that I won't engage that person."

Everyone froze by that final condition. Cinder narrowed her eyes at Blaze.

"Any reason?"

"Let's just say, I know this person really well." Blaze stated. Cinder could tell there was fear in his tone.

"As long that person isn't a threat, right now, then I don't have a problem for you to work with us."

"Great, first things first. We need to prioritize on getting rid of the boy."

"Why?" Emerald questioned.

"Those girls you mentioned earlier is going to be that least of your worries, if you don't get rid of the boy."

"Ok then, how are we going to do this?"

"Oh, don't worry," Blaze said with a big smile on his face. "I have a plan."

Author's notes: Well... I can say it's been awhile since I uploaded a chapter. Because of I was slammed with school work and exams, having the chance to work on this story becomes less over time.
