"So that's what happened, they ambushed me and that woman had some strange grimm on her hand that somehow tore my own power away from me…It…it was unnatural and terrifying. The last thing I saw was Qrow scaring them off and then waking up here and seeing him." Amber said pointing towards Acon at the end who was leaning up against a column.
"Yo my names Acon by the way it's nice to meet you! Qrow told me something was wrong so I offered some Senzu essence and add a senzu bean and boom instant revival!" Acon said with a grin walking over to the group. Amber smiled nervously at him not knowing how to act yet about this man who was basically a stranger.
"Well you have my thanks I'm scared to admit what could have happened if you didn't help." Taking that as his cue Ozpin spoke up.
"Yes I to have to thank you, I fear we had little to no other options besides trying to sustain her life, so once again you have my deepest thanks we are in your debt." Ozpin said with a solemn look on his face thinking of the alternative that he was originally planning on doing before ultimately decided not to disclose it as it doesn't matter anymore.
As Amber was conversing with Glynda and Ozpin Qrow walked over to Acon who took his spot against the column again and started up a conversation, "So Acon now that you helped us out what are you gonna do now? I mean this world is new and I kinda brought you here before you had a chance to adapt." Looking up at Qrow with sorrow in his eyes Acon took a breath and sighed before saying,
"I might just find a spot to go and put one of my larger capsules out at away from everybody until my power comes back to full strength, then I'll see if I can find a way out back to my home dimension or if someone will find there way here. Heh one of my best friends is a genius so she might be able to find a way to track me."
"I see well if there's anything I can do to help you out while you're stuck here feel free to ask…I owe you, a lot more than you know I can't lose anybody else." Qrow said getting a solemn look thinking about the friends that died just to protect the world. Seeing his new friend getting depressed Acon spoke up,
"Thanks for the offer man, and if you ever need any help I have your back just call no matter what." Not noticing the others stopped their conversations and started to tune into what Qrow and Acon were talking about.
"If I may, how much space would you need for said building as I must admit I am curious to see more from your world and as I'm sure you saw Beacon has ample space surrounding it that we do not use as normally the students use it to lounge or train themselves so I am sure we can find plenty of space for you're housing needs. This way you do not need to yet wander around an unfamiliar world and risk any trouble." Ozpin offered while also thinking about the implications of keeping someone of this caliber close and less risk to be influenced by outside forces.
"Well if you're offering I would be glad to stay, after all I don't think you're all bad people. So yea I'll stay." Acon said smiling like a loon. Meanwhile Qrow just scoffed while being grateful internally towards his friend not having to hunt across the world. And maybe having a powerhouse that's willing to drop everything to help others in close to vicinity to his nieces wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Well let's head down to the grounds and find a suitable area near the dormitories in order to keep the living areas nearby to each other. It's less work for me on my part. Also how old are you anyways? You look remarkably young for someone of your experience." Ozpin said while asking a question that's been bothering him for awhile now. As they all stepped into the elevator to head down they all turned their attention to Acon.
"Oh that well Physically I'm 17 or 20 ish give or take a couple years it's hard to tell." Acon said after thinking about it for a second. Amber catching onto what he said then asked, "Physically? What do you mean by that?" Subconsciously hearing that Glynda tightened her grip on her riding crop knowing she wouldn't like what she was about to hear. Even Ozpin and Qrow decided to pay closer attention to that statement, with Qrow thinking this guy is older than the universe what with him being a god and all.
"Oh I've only been around for about 6 years so I'm technically 6!" Acon said Nonchalantly while the others just face faulted causing the elevator to shake.
"6!? YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU ARE 6 YEARS OLD?!" Glynda yelled in shock of the entire situation while the other 3 were in no better states hearing that statement while Qrow was muttering to himself how his life is a lie and he doesn't know anything anymore.
"Technically I'm 10 if you want to count the time spent in the Hyperbolic time chamber since I was in there for four years total." Acon calmly mentioned as if it was an afterthought.
"What is this trailer and how is that an afterthought?" Ozpin asked Curious about the chamber mentioned as it sounded important.
"It's a room that one day outside is 1 year inside great for training in a cinch and I spent 2 months at a time learning from different trainers. And getting the basics of their skills before going out into the field. The rest of the time in there was my boss teaching me the basics of everyday living like reading and writing and working with money and stuff like that."
"and how many different trainers did you learn with?" Glynda asked getting into Professor mode towards someone she's starting to look at the same way she looks at her students, as in I am now responsible for you due to his now reveals age.
Counting on his fingers Acon eventually stopped and said, "22 trainers to give me a broader skillset, other skills I picked up from fighting and adapting them towards my own style. But all the power in the world means nothing if you don't know how to use it." Nodding at that statement Ozpin said, "Wise words from one of you're teachers I'm assuming?"
"Yep that was my boss she's the one who offered me my job and seeing no better options I decided to join the time patrol as thanks and found out I liked it." After he said that the elevator stopped and they all stepped off Ozpin led the way towards the fields outside the dormitories.
After a few minutes of walking the fields came into view and Ozpin asked with a smirk, "I presume this is enough space for your needs?"
Said field was wide and flat with nothing near once the dorms were out of the way with the sidewalk going out a bit past the dorms into the field and Acon grinned and exclaimed, "It's perfect now stand back!" Knowing what was going to happen Qrow just smiled and said, I would trust what he says this is gonna be good!" After he said that he stepped back with the others following his lead also taking a step back.
Taking out his capsule case Acon looked at them before he lifted the first level of capsules to reveal a capsule the size of his middle finger meaning it was huge compared to a normal capsule. Looking back on his observers he smirked and said,
"The perks of being the top and only student of the husband of the lady who's a genius with these things is great and they gave me this as a gift that I never knew would come in handy until now!" And with that statement Acon threw the Capsule with absolute precision and with a giant of smoke the contents were let loose.
"After I beat this guy Demigra one of my teachers gave me this as a gift, said it was from his wife though he's just a big softie and it was probably his idea to give me this, meant to be a training center or a large housing area for me and if I was ever working with a group long term or whenever I wanted to use it." And with that the smoke was starting to clear showing a large yellow dome with the a giant C surrounding a little c connected to the sidewalk leading right up to the double doors.
"Everyone, I would like to introduce you to Capsule Corporation!"

"Interesting how something so large managed to fit into something so small, I can only image how atlas scientists would love to get their hands on this kind of technology." Ozpin said while looking inquisitively at the building that now occupies this previously empty space.
"So who wants a tour?" Acon said still sporting a grin with a noticeable look of nostalgia in his eyes seeing the bright yellow building again. 'At least this way I'll never be without home, I'll always have a reminder of my past to keep with me here now.' And with that thought he placed his hand on a panel next to the door and with a light blue glow the panel then flashed green before the doors slid open, revealing an empty room with an elevator towards the back of the room there was a clear door showing a park and next to that door there was an elevator, on the right hand side of the room there was a sign next to a short hallway that said gravity chamber.
In the hallway there was a staircase leading up into an unknown level and on the left hand side of the room it showed a thick glass door labeled workshop over the glass. Through the glass you could see a platform with a computer and different tables and other crates against the wall.
"What the, how is there a park inside that looks fresh even though this place was inside of a tiny capsule!?", Amber asked finally speaking up after just watching the entire time but seeing a giant building appear out of nowhere was just the limit for her.
"Capsules are amazing right? They really come in handy! Well everyone back into an elevator time to see the rest of this place" Acon laughed thinking about how many times capsules have helped him and his friends out in the field before leading the way to yet another elevator. After an extremely short trip to the next floor it opened up to reveal a kitchen, living room with a couple couches surrounding a TV with a table in the middle, and balcony overlooking Vale.
"So this is the kitchen and Living area and an outlook to go and get some fresh air. All the windows and doors are locked and unable to be opened from the outside for safety reasons and can only be unlocked by someone inside with authorized access to the building so no need to worry about people coming in to steal my stuff!" Acon said pointing out the different areas. "Over there is a staircase for quick or emergency exit but the elevator is big enough to fit a large group anyways so it's really a matter of preference."
After saying that he invited them all to sit down on the couches and they made their way over. Once they were all settled Ozpin then spoke up,
"I must admit this is much more than I expected, also for curiosities sake how many are meant to be housed in a facility like this overall, also what were those locations labeled on the first level?" Ozpin asked while taking observation of the room.
"Oh those are the gravity chamber and workshop, the gravity chamber is what I normally use since it increases the weight of gravity by multiples up to 750 times which really gives for a nice workout. And with how many can stay here we have about 12 rooms up there meant for teams and such. The rooms can probably fit about 5 or 6 people comfortable inside of them."
"I see, I hope to talk to you more about this chamber in the future but at the moment I do have a request related to young Amber here. If you would be willing during you're stay here would you allow Amber to stay here as well? Due to the proximity towards the school while also taking in the security precautions of this center gives me faith that she would be safe here." Ozpin said shocking the others.
"Oz you can't be serious trapping her won't help anything!" Qrow yelled getting angry on Amber's behalf. "Qrow be quiet! You and I both know that Ozpin only thinks about the betterment of the world and we have no right to question him!" Glynda yelled back on Ozpins behalf.
Meanwhile while they were arguing Acon walked dover to Amber before whispering, "Hey what do you think about this?" Looking at him she responded, "I found out I've been trapped inside a pod for over a month and now they want to trap me again." Looking over at her Acon said, "If you want to do this I can guarantee you won't be trapped but I won't say anything unless you want to stay can't get in trouble yet now can I?" He said with a smirk. Amber thought about it for a second before nodding and saying,
"Qrow it's ok I'll stay if that's ok with Acon here." Acon just nodded saying it's fine before Ozpin got up and saying, "Great! I'll make sure to supply Lien for food and other supplies but as it is getting close to the time I need to get the students sorted into teams I must leave. Acon, you Amber and Qrow may observe the testing with us provided Amber keeps her identity hidden."
"Psh that's easy I'm sure I have some wigs or hats and extra armor lying around to keep up the act!" Acon said quite literally vanishing for a second before coming back with armor like his own and a large hat to hide most features and a visor type object in his hands.
"Alright so we have some pretty basic Saiyan Armor and a hat to cover your hair since this hat is definitely big enough to cover it fully. And this is a visor to shade your eyes but it won't impede your vision. Is this good enough?" Acon directed that last part towards Ozpin as Amber said thanks before heading upstairs to change because Acon said she could use any room up there she picks and telling her to meet them downstairs when she's ready.
"That should be adequate, thank you again for this help." Ozpin said sincerely towards their new friend. "It's nothing to worry about if I can help I will so don't worry about it, besides it's nice to have some people around here!" After that Ozpin and Glynda got up and left while Qrow decided to hang around a bit and as they waited on the first floor by the doors there was a beep before the elevator doors opened revealing Amber who came down dressed in the blue armor with form fitting black spandex underneath.
"So I shouldn't be saying this but these spandex are surprisingly comfortable and at least the armor covers everything you could see so that's good. I think I can go without the hat hell I could barley recognize myself! Also how do I put this visor on?" She said as she moved around and got used to the feeling of the armor before showing the visor still in hand.
"That's easy I can show you before we meet with Ozpin at the cliffs, also I have no idea where to go so I'll leave that to you two to show me hehe" Acon laughed scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Right thanks man who knew what would have happened if I never met you on the road there." Qrow spoke up with Amber nodding in agreement towards that statement.
"Like I said it's no problem also Qrow I didn't want to give this to you in front of Ozpin and Glynda since I still don't trust them completely but let's head down to the workshop I have something for you." Acon said before putting his hand on a panel next to the door labeled workshop before leading them into the room with all the lights and systems automatically starting up.
"Whoa this is crazy this is even more advanced than the computers I've seen at Atlas and what are with those pods over there?" Amber asked before pointing to a row of 6 pods lined up against the wall with little panels in front of them.
"Those are healing chambers since we don't always want to use senzus for every little scratch and spar so we pop into those, put a mask on, and poof it feels up with healing liquids while the computers monitor our vitals and can tell when we are at full health and physical condition. But what I wanted to give you two were these" he said before pulling a couple capsules off the shelf and tossing two each to the two.
"What do these ones do? More healing?" Qrow asked not even surprised the guy has more than what he showed them with a building this size. Meanwhile Amber was also looking at the capsules in curiosity noticing the different colors as one was red and the other blue.
"Nope these are different, the red one is a house like my smaller one that you saw Qrow has plenty of food and stuff and extra reinforced so no grim will be able to come close to breaking in. As for the blue one just give it a toss towards the center in front of that door over there." Acon finished pointing at what looked like a driveway inside before Amber took initiative shrugged and tossed her blue capsule after Acon explained how to use them.
With a poof of smoke it showed a bright yellow car that was floating off the ground, it had two rows and was already started and ready to go. "Whoa this is amazing you guys have everything in these capsules don't you?" Qrow asked looking at the two in his hand with awe.
"Yep pretty much , also Qrow yours is black I think so no worries about driving a bright yellow car. And Amber if you ever need or want to leave you can either A, walk out the front door or B, take your car and drive off from here since the garage leaves from the back, told you I wasn't going to keep you trapped here I'll add you and Qrow into the locks right now so let's head over to the computer," Acon said before leading the two over and telling them to place their hands on a large panel that was revealed.
"Hey, I'm not complaining but why me, I'm always on the move anyways and just met so why the trust?" Qrow questioned reasonably confused about this. Acon got a solemn look on his face before explaining,
"Qrow look when I arrived here you could have walked away after making sure I was alive and left it at that but you didn't, and as soon as you saw a chance to help your friend you took it showing me what kind of person you are. As for me giving you access well, I remember you saying your nieces are here so I figured if you ever want to visit them well this way you have a place to stay instead of wasting money on a room or something at a hotel or inn."
Acon had a serious look on his face as he looked Qrow in the eyes and said that while Qrow was just in shock.
"I, well I guess I can't argue against that right now so thanks and if you ever need help well give me a call same to you Amber." Qrow said as Amber and Acon both nodded with smiles on their faces.
"OH SNAP THAT'S RIGHT" Acon yelled out shocking the two before running over to a table and grabbing a small eyepiece similar to his from a bucket of them and running back. "This is a scouter and it's voice activated you can use it to call Amber or I anytime we have ours on and I guarantee you they'll reach no matter where you are since these are meant to be used for intergalactic communication." Before Handing Qrow the green lens and earpiece.
"Wait so are you telling me this visor is like that?" Amber said showing the visor still in her hands while Acon just nodded and told them they should probably head out in order not to miss anything. Qrow and Amber agreed before following him out and Qrow led the way to the emerald forest testing grounds.
As they got closer to the cliffs Amber noticed some yellow numbers flitting across her vision showing in different areas of the field before asking,
"Hey Acon what are these numbers on the scouters? They just popped up as we got closer to the forest?" Qrow put on his before saying how he saw the same thing. As they walked to where they could see Ozpin and Glynda standing Acon explained the whole tracking power levels thing that scouters did and brought up how they are probably the students and grim down there fighting making the scouter register the changing levels.
"If you ever want to see someone's level at the moment or if anybody is nearby just tap the button on the side once quickly and it'll show the nearest power levels." As he finished explaining that they made it to where the two teachers were standing as Ozpin nodded and asked about what they were talking about.
"Not much just explaining the visors to them and what they can do." Acon responded further prompting Ozpin to ask about them, as Acon was about to explain his head darted over to the north and narrowed his eyes sensing something wasn't right before speaking up,
"Hey why am I sensing three energies in the sky with one significantly larger than the other two over there?"
Hearing that Glynda looked at the monitor in her hand before gasping and saying, "It appears Ms. Schnee alongside Ms. Rose are hanging off a Nevermore that abducted them above the site where we have the relics!" Hearing the last name Qrow shot up yelling "WHAT HOW DID RUBY GET THERE?" before Acon spoke up with a tone of complete seriousness bringing their attentions to him and saying,
"Relax Qrow, I think I should show you another difference between me and this worlds monsters." After he said that he unwrapped the tail that was previously wrapped around his wrist before crouching down and launching off with a rush of air flying at intense speeds towards the area.
Glynda sent the footage over to Qrow and Ambers Scrolls so that they could also see what was going on and Qrow saw his niece with what he presumed was her partner hanging onto the talon of the nevermore before a blur slammed into it from the bottom as the two were grabbed quickly. The blur revealed to be Acon then kicked off from the belly of the grim after he had the two in his grasps before launching down and righting himself midair and gently landing with the two girls in front of the other two who he saw was his other niece yang waiting on the ground.
As they watched they saw a girl riding an ursai into the field and another girl getting chased by a deathstalker right after watching another boy fly across the screen and land into a tree. As the deathstalker turned towards the blonde haired boy it charged before the red haired girl could notice and distract it before bringing its stinger up and getting ready to strike down and the nevermore threw feathers down towards the ground as Ruby went to try and protect them by charging forward prompting her partner there was another blur before Ruby and the Schnee girl were tossed backwards and the boy following soon after landing on Yang who tried to catch up.
With a cloud of dust concealing both the cameras and the groups visions it was suddenly cleared away seeing the Deathstalker be thrown out towards the forest disappearing as the rest of the dust was blown away by a clear aura of power surrounding Acon.
Qrow just smirked before saying, "Oh yea I am so glad to have met this guy" with the others nodding in shock towards what happened in just a few minutes even shocking Ozpin in all his years of living.
Alright longest chapter yet but I really wanted to get into the main story and decided to just do it here. My next update will be my Harry Potter story so stay tuned! See you all alter!
