'Ok what are the odds I thought this through…nope no plans whatsoever guess I'll wing it' Acon thought to himself as he flew towards the energy he felt, 'that's probably his niece that he was telling me about, alright here we go time to get to work.'
As he saw the giant bird holding the two girls he twisted his body midair so he could slam his feet into birds chest. Once he impacted into it he looked at the two girls who were looking at him in shock.
"Well ladies I believe this is where you get off, right?" As he smiled at them he reached over to the girl in white before wrapping his arm around her waist and then reaching over to the one in red who had to have been related to Qrow. With that he kicked off the bird and flew down before turning again to right himself before landing in front of the other pair of girls on the ground looking up at him in shock. The blonde haired girl shook her head before running up to the three yelling out,
"RUBY!"
'That must be Yang then, how are these two sisters?'
"Ruby oh my god are you ok? Are you hurt? How did you even get stuck up there?"
Well Yang sat there shaking Ruby's shoulders Acon walked up to the other two girls who stood off to the side while the white haired one looked shaken up still about everything that happened and the black haired one just gave him scrutinizing eyes. He decided to just stick with the basics and decided to introduce himself,
"Hey my names Acon! Sorry about the surprise but I saw that you guys were in a bit of trouble and I decided to help out!"
The white haired girl decided to introduce herself seemingly getting her nerves back now that she's had a second on the ground.
"Well I am Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust Company, I thank you for your assistance in this matter."
'Reminds me of Vegeta with that pride hehe'
As Acon looked over at the black haired girl she gave a nod before saying,
"My name is Blake Belladonna, it is a pleasure to meet you"
While she introduced herself he did notice that she was looking at his tail lazily waving around behind him.
'Is it just me or did her bow twitch, oh well no big deal it's her business not mine' "Nice to meet you both! Qrow got a little worried when he saw you on camera so I stepped in to help him out."
That last statement caught the fretting sisters attention with Yang speaking up, "Wait you know our Uncle Qrow? And he's watching us?!" Before Acon had a chance to answer they saw a girl riding the back of a Ursai and a young man following behind her.
"Awww it's broken!"
"Nora Let's never do that again…Nora?"
"I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!"
"NORA!"
"Coming Ren!"
"Did that girl just ride on the back of an ursai?"
At that last question nobody even had a chance to answer because almost immediately another girl burst put of the woods with a giant scorpion being chased behind her while at the same time a yellow blur flew across and slammed into a tree nearby. Said blur ended up being a young man who ended up hanging upside down.
"Was she just being chased by a deathstalker?"
"Ok so nobody wants to check that kid for brain damage because he actually hit that tree pretty hard?"
"He'll be fine we have aura."
"You have what now?"
"Wait What!"
While that final statement was addressed to Acon from practically every person in that little group besides the two newest members of that gathering the blond kid conveniently ended up falling down to the ground causing the deathstalker to change directions suddenly and charge towards the easy prey.
After a couple seconds of shock Ruby immediately charged forward to try and save him as the Deathstalker got closer with Weiss not far behind and Yang trying to chase after her sister. Seeing what they didn't the rest of the group saw the forgotten Nevermore throw out feathers like they were projectiles.
'Right time to get back to work!' Acon thought before he charged forward bringing with him a cloud of dust temporarily obscuring the 4 from view after quickly passing Yang. A blink of the eye later 3 blurs were tossed into Yang revealing the 3 kids about to confront a deathstalker willingly and unwillingly before they heard a shout.
"SUPER ELECTRIC STRIKE!"
With that a green energy fired out from the cloud of dust in an arc before stopping mid air and incinerating the feathers before they could even touch the ground before eventually fading. The force around the energy black blasted the dust out of the way and once their vision was clear all 8 students had widened eyes at what they saw.
Acon stood there seemingly unflinchingly staring at the Deathstalker holding it in one hand by it's stinger while the other held both pincers with no strain whatsoever. He then swung the hand with the stinger back lifting it off the ground before releasing the pincers and thrusting his palm out towards it's back and essentially throwing it back into the woods where it came from. Acon then turned to his audience who were in varying stages of shock.
"Right then, if I remember correctly, you guys were in the middle of a test right?"
Jaune was the one who lost it.
"OK WAIT A SECOND, you just casually show up and literally disintegrate feathers of death and then you not only stop that thing but you toss it around like it's normal!"
"Try tossing a 3 story tall ape then you can judge me" Acon said to himself with Blake's bow twitching again which made Acon seriously hoped he was wrong about what was under there because the last thing he needed was a existential crisis about another species anatomy.
Thankfully to prevent any questions about what Blake heard the nevermore cried out drawing their attention. While the in the woods the trees started rustling, most likely being the deathstalker coming back from more.
"Well on that note I'll let you guys finish your test, have fun!" and with that Acon jumped off before anyone could say anything and took off back to the cliffs where the others were watching on their scrolls. When he got there it was quiet for a minute or so, not including the audio feed from the scrolls before Amber broke the silence,
"So you shoot laser beams?"
"Actually energy blasts but yea pretty much."
In the shock of all this Glynda decided to go into her default of if you can't beat them, lecture them.
"Why would you interfere with the test?! Do you understand how important this is to the development of the partners and their future teams?! How do you expect us to properly evaluate them if you interfere when they get in any sort of trouble?!"
Getting serious Elder Kai vibes from her he just decided to treat this the way he treated the elder kai during his rants. But before he did anything he whispered to Ozpin,
"Say the word and I can buy us the rest of the day"
Ozpin just lifted his coffee up to his mouth before saying,
"Do it"
Acon walked up to Glynda before putting his hand on her shoulder and just said,
"Glynda I hear what you're saying and I'm just going to say sorry."
"Well at least you had the courtesy to apologize but that doesn't excuse what you did-"
"Oh no not for that, for this kai kai"
And with that he quite literally vanished in a blink alongside side Glynda before they blinked again and he was there but this time without Glynda. This time Qrow was the one to speak up.
"Ok I know that I shouldn't ask at this point but I gotta ask, HOW DID YOU THAT?!"
"It's just a more subtle move that lets me teleport anywhere I've been before soI dropped her off at the base of the mountain, before you judge me Ozpin gave permission."
Ozpin just chuckled, while Amber and Qrow openly laughed at that at that before Ozpin gave him his own response,
"While that was not my ideal solution, I am grateful for the time you bought, I will admit she is a tad to wound up for her own good."
That just made Amber and Qrow laugh even harder with Acon joining in while Ozpin just watched amused as his attention was drawn back to his scroll before speaking up,
"Now this IS interesting, it looks like those students are more than Glynda gave credit for,"
That statement drew Qrow's and Amber's attention to their scrolls before Amber let out a whistle.
"Man Qrow, you can really tell where she learned her skills from, lack of finesse aside-"
"What are you talking about I'm all finesse!"
"LACK of finesse aside she has some serious potential"
And with that final statement they watched her run up the side of a mountain and literally rip the Nevermore's head off making all four of them wince. Acon just looked at Qrow before asking,
"Qrow, you said you taught her right?"
"Yea I taught her everything she knows!"
"Why and how would you teach a kid to run up a mountain?"
"What no I didn't teach her that!
"But you taught her EVERYTHING right?"
"Have no fear Amber, Acon I'll make sure to properly teach her about the laws of gravity and try my hardest to knock out Qrow's more erratic teaching in both young misses rose and Xiao-Long"
"I'm telling you I didn't teach her that, wait where are you going? Hey come back here!"
.
.
.
While Ozpin was inside sorting out the teens and new graduates Acon, Qrow, and Amber sat outside the hall waiting for the students to come out, Acon and Amber just stood to the side getting to know each other a bit more while the students walked out Ruby through some internal sensor immediately noticed Qrow to the side.
"UNCLE QROW!" Catching Yang's attention she spoke up,
"Uncle Qrow? Ruby what are you talking about…UNCLE QROW!" finally noticing what Ruby saw before they both charged through the students sending some in the air in their charge towards their uncle. Blake and Weiss just looked at each other before glumly following after the two accepting their fates.
"UNCLE QROW WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" after that point Ruby started going off on a tangent that nobody can understand, even Acon who's used to highspeed conversations.
"Hey kids I was here just handling some business with these two over here and I figured I'd hang around and see what's up" Noticing the two he was pointing at Yang recognized the guy from the test.
"HEY! I know you, you're that Acon guy that helped us out during the test! Thanks for that by the way but why did you leave we could have used your help for the rest, not that we didn't have it handled."
"What's up! Sorry I left early because Glynda would have gotten even more angry if I stayed any longer but oh well I got you guys some time anyways, but you're here to talk to you're uncle so I'm just going to go over here come on Aspara."
Aspara being Amber because he couldn't exactly say her name because of the whole hiding in plain sight thing while she just mouthed 'Aspara' to him while he shrugged in a 'what can I say I panicked' kind of motion. Blake and Weiss getting tired of being to the side walked away with Acon and 'Aspara' in order to get some answers about them.
Weiss being Weiss just bluntly said what was on her mind,
"Why are you named after vegetables?"
'Deep breaths Acon deep breaths'
"Our family REALLY like food"
Weiss opened her mouth to ask more questions before Blake put her hand on her shoulder shaking her head and just saying,
"Weiss I've learned with people like this, it's best just to accept it as is and take what you can get. Also I saw earlier you had a tail but now it's tied around you're waist, doesn't that hurt?"
Amber took notice of this and asked,
"Yea I didn't even see you tie it when did you have time to do that?"
"I had time to do it when we were teach shaming Qrow and no it doesn't hurt it's normal for me at this point."
"Oh ok" and with that Blake got silent again with the three all having different thoughts,
'Was she really just asking why my tail is tied?'
'I wonder why she noticed the tail first'
'Oh my gods someone sane is on my team, thank you holy brothers'
Getting tired of the silence Amber decided to properly introduce herself to the other two teens,
"Well I'm Aspara, it's nice to meet you. So I'm assuming that you two are on a team?"
"It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Weiss schnee and this is Blake Belladona, over there talking to their uncle is Ruby Rose in the red, and Blake Xiao-Long and together we are team RWBY under the leadership of Ruby Rose."
The other three thought at the same time about how that was way to formal. Meanwhile Acon and Amber both noticed the slight jealousy she had when she mentioned who the team leader was. Acon shared a look with Amber before he gave a slight wave towards her as to say she can handle this.
"I'm guessing you aren't to happy with the team placements are you?" Hearing this Blake got a shocked look on her face before steeling her gaze thinking.
'What can I expect from a SCHNEE always wanting to be in charge' Meanwhile Weiss answered them after thinking about her response for a second before deciding it would probably be better to let it all out now.
"No it's not the team placement, I worked really well with them fighting those grimm and that combination attack we did against the nevermore was amazing, but my problem is that Ruby was picked as team leader when she's the youngest out of all of us and acts like a child at times! I just think I deserve to be the leader or even Blake and maybe Yang!"
Listening to that Amber worded her next response carefully knowing that whether or not she knows it Weiss's mind was in a fragile state.
'From what I heard about Jacques Schnee from Winter and James I don't think it's just a maturity thing, it's probably the pressure being the heiress and finally being able to grow into a person that not even she knows'
"Weiss listen, and Blake this applies to you too, when you are on a team the leader doesn't matter."
That statement caused both of the students eyes to widen. Weiss just stammered out,
"Wha-what do you mean?"
"What I mean is sure you need a leader to have somebody in charge but in the field it's not the leader doing all the work, it's the entire team working together. The good part about Ruby being younger is she has more time to learn, and more time for all three of you to teach her how to be the best leader she can be for each of you rather than trying to change her entire style to match you all, tell me when you fought was it easier or harder to work together?"
"Well when we first fought some beowulfs it was hard but after fighting together for a bit we worked really well and our teamwork against the nevermore was almost perfect for all four of us."
"Exactly, it's easier to work with someone younger and less experienced because you have more time to teach them so when you graduate I guarantee that you will work together so well the leader won't matter, after all even Winter isn't in charge of everything she takes part in you know?"
At the mention of her sister Weiss's eyes widened even further,
"What do you mean Winter? She has nothing to do with-" At that she got a knowing stare from Amber before sighing and changing her statement,
"Alright fine it's just she seems so perfect and I want to be as good as her, you know?"
Acon decided to step in with his own words of advice,
"Well that's dumb, hey quit that look let me finish, it's dumb to try and be this Winter person and it's better to try and be you instead, after all why does the world need two of the same person when we can have two separate people to contribute in their own ways!"
Thinking about what both of them said Weiss had a contemplating look on her face before getting a resolute look on her face and saying,
"You're right, both of you and I agree completely, I guess I just wanted to prove myself but like I said you're right!" Before turning to Blake and finishing her statement,
"Blake I'm sorry you had to hear that but I want you to know I'll be the best teammate I can be and I'll make sure to tell this to Ruby and Yang too but right now I'm telling you, no I'm promising you that I don't care about being the leader, I care about making sure all of us are the best team Beacon has ever seen!"
Blake smiled and nodded before agreeing with her thinking about how this schnee might not be so bad meanwhile Amber and Acon just smiled at each other happy that they could fix the problem before it actually became a problem.
Meanwhile Qrow finally finished talking to his nieces and getting to know their own opinions of their new team which seemed extremely high. Then again it is a little hard to get a truly bad opinion on much except for a few special cases. Looking at Ruby reminded Qrow of something,
'Next time Roman and I cross paths I'm kicking his ass'
"Well it's best I get back on the road, it was nice seeing you kids and meeting you're team but I still have work I need to do for Oz so I'll be seeing ya!"
Seeing that Acon and Amber ended their conversation with Blake and Weiss before Acon said,
"If you're taking off, then Aspara and I will walk you out to the gate, you girls probably need to still get situated and find out where you're staying anyways."
Ruby remembering where they were shot up from her minor depression seeing her Uncle leaving so soon and yelled out,
"THAT'S RIGHT! OHMYGOD I CAN"T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! BYE UNLCE QROW!"
And with that statement she ran off before suddenly shooting back with her semblance and grabbing Yang and Weiss and shooting off again with Yang yelling out a goodbye that grew fainter with every second. They heard a sigh and all 3 of them were shocked to see Blake still standing there, Amber was the one who broke the silence by saying,
"Wait…How did you avoid that?"
"My semblance let's me avoid things."
"Ahhhhh" Came from the two adults and one technically adolescent.
"Well I better see where our Dorm is so this is goodbye, and Aspara?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks for the advice you gave Weiss, it should definitely help avoid conflict in the future for our team, Acon you as well"
"It wasn't a problem anything to help out future Huntresses."
"Seriously it was nothing don't worry about it!"
"Well once again thank you and goodbye!"
With a small nod of her head she turned around and headed off following after her team. With that the other three headed towards the gate that had the ship to take Qrow down back to Vail. On the way over Acon started up a conversation,
"So they seemed interesting didn't they?"
"They did seem to have a lot of untapped potential amongst them"
"Man I just hope that they don't try and bite off more than they can chew though."
"From what I can tell Qrow, they definitely seem like the type to jump right into action"
"For Sure"
"Yea that's what I was afraid of, just keep an eye on them for me will ya?"
Amber and Acon just shared a look before Amber said,
"You got it, We'll watch out for them."
After thanking them and talking a bit more the ship arrived and Qrow said bye to the other two before getting on board and leaving Amber and Acon behind. As Acon and Amber headed back to their new home, Ozpin looked down on them from his office with Glynda surprisingly not being there at his side.
'I truly am grateful for the peace with today's events, I must remember to thank Acon and possibly request that again in the future, especially when the Vytal festival comes around.'
After taking another sip of his coffee a click was heard and he turned around to see the face of James Ironwood looking at him from his computer.
"James, thank you for answering my call I have some new information for you regarding a certain project of ours."
"What project? Is it about the festival? Because I thought I we had everything handled?"
"No, but before I go into this how secure is this line?"
After a moment of seeing James typing on his computer, Ironwood spoke up,
"As secure as can be and we are now on my own private line with no outside access"
"Good Amber is awake and she was healed."
"WHAT?! What do you mean she's awake?! How was she even healed in the first place!?"
"Qrow met someone who had tools to help wake her up, and I was there the entire time and even her scars were healed"
James just looked amazed at what he heard.
"Ozpin this is unreal, but why do I feel like that's not the only reason you called?"
"You would be correct about that, the secondary reason I called was because he and Amber are currently living here at Beacon in their own facility, so what I want to ask is if you can send someone to keep an eye on both of them."
"What do you mean both? Don't you just mean the one?"
"Primarily yes, but when I say both it is also to monitor Amber's condition and make sure she really is completely healed, I would also be a fool if I just immediately trusted someone who appeared whether or not he proved to be a great help, that's why I decided to let him stay here so I could keep on eye on him."
"I understand completely, I'll send Schnee, this may do some good for her as well being in close proximity to her sister and hopefully breaking Jacques authority even more with this."
"Good when should I expect her?"
"Tomorrow afternoon after classes, but Oz I have to ask, what will you be having them doing during this time? Amber must remain in hiding but what about the other one?"
"I figured to have him take a few classes and observe his interactions with the students, not all classes but a few"
And with that their conversation ended. Ozpin smiled to himself after a moment happy that his plans worked out without revealing exactly who Acon was, attributing that to the shock of someone healing Amber and moving the conversation along quickly.
'After all if they knew a highly powered induvial from another world existed, well not even I can predict the outcome'
That thought bringing to question the problem of what to do about Winter Schnee and what she should know before deciding he'll deal with that problem when it occurs. After that he headed out to go and check on his new tenants.

Alright new chapter! Sorry if it seems a little scattered I've been dealing with some stuff lately and just couldn't focus enough on straightening everything out as much as I could. But to answer some reviews I wanted to clarify-
The senzu beans healing scars are actually something I thought about and will explain later on as it applies to the story in the future so don't worry it will be explained.
And the whole keeping the time patrol a secret I just wanted to bring up that
He is in another universe that the time patrol doesn't exist so it doesn't matter to much what he tells them. That really was it nothing fancy about the reason besides that.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW THANK YOU!
