The following morning after team placements we find Ozpin once again in his office filling out paperwork for the year along with the upcoming Vytal Festival.
'There truly are many promising teams this year for Beacon, I personally am putting my money on team CVFY for…personal reasons'
He thought to himself taking a sip of his coffee. Then his computer brought up a notification signifying someone was coming up to his office.
'I wonder if Ms. Schnee got here earlier than expected, I did not think she would arrive until 10.' Looking at the clock seeing it was 9:30 Before the elevator arrived and opened. Upon opening Ozpin couldn't help but flinch on seeing the look in his second in commands face. Glynda Goodwitch spoke with a steely calm that was only betrayed by the twitch in her eyebrow.
"Ozpin I am only going to say this once as I know you were the one to give Acon permission to do that but NEVER do that again, are we understood!?" Eliciting a meek yes from the headmaster of the school.
'Throughout my entire life I still do not know the proper way to avoid a woman's rage' Meanwhile out loud he said
"I see well Glynda, I will endeavor not to do that again but I do believe you had more to say about him besides the teleporting issue?"
'One way that I have learned to help in any uncomfortable situation…change the subject, I'm sorry Acon'
"Right yes I have to ask, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING OZPIN!? Blindly trusting a stranger with secrets such as Amber and letting him stay here!? That kind of thinking is what I expect from the students not from one such as yourself! And that's not even including his story, a time traveling alien from another universe!?"
Taking a deep breath for this Ozpin knew that what Glynda was saying had merit and from an outside perspective his actions would seem foolish, honestly the only reason why the general didn't ream into him further was because of Ozpin requesting an eye and the shock of Amber being healed. Knowing that what he would say next would either make or break his friendship and loyalty amongst his allies he thought through his words carefully before bringing his hands up to his face and saying,
"I understand what you are saying but Glynda you were there when he showed his power, it shook the very tower we stand on from sheer force alone and from what I could tell that was not even his full power" Ozpin finished with a look of seriousness on his face.
"But Ozpin how could you tell that? It seems impossible for anybody to have that much power already! If what you are saying is true then he could cause more death and destruction potentially than the grim ever could all on his own!"
"But he doesn't" Is what Ozpin followed up with bringing Glynda's rant to a stop. Taking the pause as an opportunity Ozpin followed up with,
"You are correct he has the potential to be unstoppable here but he does not, he chose to help Amber and tell us the truth of what he does and he chooses to keep his energy under control, but I do acknowledge the potential risk he affords and hence why I brought her in," Ozpin finished pointing towards the elevator. Glynda not knowing what was going on was about to ask before the signature beep came and the elevator doors opened revealing Winter Schnee. Ozpin greeted her as she walked up,
"Good morning Ms. Schnee I am glad you could make it so quickly I trust General Ironwood briefed you on the basics of what we are dealing with correct?" As winter snapped her eyes from her surroundings to Ozpin her shoulders relaxed slightly seeing that only friends are around not needing to be as formal as she would around strangers.
"Good Morning Ozpin, Glynda I am glad to see you all again, and yes the General saw fit to inform me about this man that Qrow brought in, but I have to ask is…is Amber really ok?" She asked letting a moment of weakness show first in concern for her good friend. While Ozpin and Glynda smiled at the question before Ozpin answered her,
"Yes Winter, she's back and better than ever. Currently she is staying with Acon, the man that Qrow brought in and you will meet them both again shortly. I have already sent Acon a message asking if they are available which he responded that they had no plans naturally."
After that statement Winter gave out a sigh of relief knowing that Amber is ok before straightening up and asking,
"I am glad to hear that but, when will we be heading over to meet with them?" Which Glynda also perked up at before getting a glint in her eyes at confronting Acon due to his little teleporting trick. While Ozpin just smiled amicably and saying,
"Now that you are here I don't see any reason why we can't go now?"
A few minutes later at Remnant Corp
AN I'm Calling it Remnant Corp because it is just the capsule Corp building and calling it Acon's House seems weird to me given that I already showed his actual house earlier.
Winter looked in awe at the bright yellow building that was clearly a new edition to the grounds, yet it looked nothing like the other buildings with its circular design. As Ozpin pressed the doorbell she looked over at Glynda before speaking,
"You said he just arrived yesterday but this building can't have been built in a day, hell it is impossible for it to have been built within the last month from the size of it but I am sure that I did not see anything like it when I was here last month!" Glynda understood her shock and said,
"I know it seems unbelievable, but he pulled a capsule the size of a finger out and threw it onto the ground before a cloud of smoke appeared and this was in it's place, from what I understand the capsule shrinks whatever is inside and places it in a stasis somehow for future use"
"That kind of technology is unreal and way beyond anything Atlas has yet produced, I don't think are scientists are anywhere near creating this sort of technology!" At that Ozpin stepped in,
"I understand your shock completely Ms. Schnee but I can assure it did happen and I am sure he would be willing to show more or elaborate later, but I do believe it is time for other matters," and as he finished The doors opened showing A man who looked to be about the same age as Winter standing In the doorway,
"Hey Ozpin, Glyndaaaaaa oh shit" was all he got out before Glynda grabbed her riding crop and walked in front of him getting close to his face and saying,
"If you ever do something like that without my permission again, nothing will stop me from getting even with you, understood!" She finished speaking to him like he was one of her students with him quickly nodding his head and agreeing before taking notice of Winter standing off to the side looking amused and employing Ozpins tactic of the subject change,
"So Ozpin, what's going on? You guys want to come in?" He asked successfully diverting Glynda's attention from him. Seeing what was going on and giving a subtle nod in approval that Acon and Winter noticed Ozpin spoke up,
"Yes I do believe that this conversation is best to have inside, I trust Amber is up?"
"I mean sort of? She was pretty grouchy to be up so I'm guessing not a morning person, hahaha!" Acon laughed while sweat dropping when Amber was threatening to blow up his coffee machine because she didn't understand it at first.
'Thank Zeno we avoided that right?' he thought meanwhile Winter was thinking to herself,
'She hasn't changed but still, I have to see it with my own two eyes that she's safe before I do or say anything' and with that the group walked into the building,
'Gravity chamber? I wonder what that's supposed to be' Winter wondered as they walked into the elevator before Acon pressed the 'up' button and after a moment the doors opened revealing the living room and Amber sitting on the couch before she looked back and saw the group,
"Oh hey Ozpin, Glynda and Win- wait WINTER what's going on!? When did you get here!?" She yelled out after seeing her best friend who ran towards her as soon as she saw Amber and they met in the middle hugging. Amber felt something wet on her shoulders before realizing that Winter was crying.
"Relax I'm alive and ok thanks to this guy over here, and next time that thief comes around I'll be ready to show her what the fall maiden is really made out of." Winter just looked at her smiling before bringing her into another hug,
"I'm glad that it didn't change you but how did he even heal you when all of Atlas's technology couldn't have?" and then Amber said one thing that caused her to look around in astonishment to the others getting nods of agreement,
"A bean"
"Oh ok… wait what?"
"That's right this guy had a magic bean and he fed it to me and poof I'm here better than ever!" Winter turned towards Acon and said,
"You!"
"Me!"
"Explain, now because none of this makes sense to me"
"Right well I have a bag of Magic beans called Senzu beans and they can heal practically anything that wasn't natural and one bean can do all that and keep a normal human fed for up to 10 days"
"I'm sorry but you have to understand that there's no way in hell that is possible, the idea of a magic bean doing all that is impossible."
"Ok I see you're point but I swear I'm not lying," and before Acon can finish talking someone interrupted him,
"He really isn't lying, maybe we can even give you an example for proof." Winter turned towards the voice in shock not realizing anyone else was here but then felt a tug as she was pushed back.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE DO-" before she saw the steely look on his face and looked over at the person who spoke seeing two heads of white hair much like her own but the thing she really noticed was the blue skin.
"Hmph Acon what a surprise seeing you here, I guess it was to much to hope the blast took you out then?" Towa spoke with a smirk as she looked at Acon meanwhile Mira stood behind her glaring at the Saiyan.
"Towa, Mira… how are you even here and what do you want?" Amber stepped up with her power on the edge ready to be pulled out because given Acon's reaction she did not think that these two were his friends.
"Acon what's going on? Who are these two?"
"The woman there is Towa and the big guy is Mira, these were the two I was fighting before all this happened." Towa then spoke up,
"More like fighting Mira after this fool disabled his limiter and absorbed me, the only reason I survived is because he was already in the process of releasing me during the blast and I had time to set up a barrier."
"Yea Mira dude that was a dick move, you were going t destroy the universe, also I wonder if that universe even survived?" Mira stopped his glare to his rival and gave Acon a solemn look before speaking up,
"I was mad with power and my newfound freedom and acted rashly, if it wasn't due to the fight using a majority of my excess energy to fight you we probably would have destroyed that universe." And then Towa followed up with,
"As for the welfare of that universe I'm sure it survived, what you two did was more like a tear in the universe like what Majin Buu did when he was trapped with Gotenks and Piccolo,"
"Ah right then makes sense," Amber leaned over to Winter who also stood ready and whispered,
"Did…did they just make nearly blowing up a universe seem like an every day occurrence?"
"I think so, just how strong are these guys?" Little did they know all three heard them and had identical smirks at the unintended compliments before Acon got serious again,
"But back to the topic at hand, what are you doing here?"
"Don't worry Acon, we aren't here to fight… I doubt we could even afford to expand much energy" Towa said while Acon just remembered how quickly Super Saiyan drained him. Towa then continued,
"Judging by your face you've noticed it as well." Hearing that piqued Ozpin's interest and he had to ask,
"Pardon me but noticed what, exactly?" and Acon stepped in saying,
"Our energy isn't working like it's supposed to, it's almost like it's being held back, I can still use my full power but just transforming drains me so quickly that it's almost like when I was first created barely able to use my power for anything bigger than an average final flash" Hearing that Towa looked at Mira before Mira gave her a nod to which she sighed and spoke up,
"We are having the same issues and I have a theory on the reason why, I at first believed it was due to rupturing the barrier between universes but now I believe it's due to the universe itself." Taking some offense to that statement Glynda spoke up,
"What is that supposed to mean, are you saying that there is something wrong with our universe?" and looking over at her Towa had a reminder of her teachers when she was growing up before speaking,
"For you no there is nothing wrong with you're universe if you ignore the taint of those monsters that we have encountered but for beings from our universe from what I can tell it's trying to suppress our energy because we don't belong"
At that statement everybody's eyes widened before Amber spoke up in worry for her new friends wellbeing,
"Is there anyway for you guys to go home?" and after thinking for a moment before a sad frown came on her face and disappearing before anybody but Acon and Winter could notice she spoke,
"I'm sure Acon's friends are trying their best to bring him back so I wouldn'tbe surprised if they are working on a way as we speak," Noticing something in her statement Acon spoke up,
"You didn't mention the demon realm, wouldn't they be trying to get you back?" And this time the entire room noticed the look Towa had along with Mira's shoulders tensing a bit before a look from Mira caused him to relax,
"Seeing as there is no reason to be enemies anymore, the demon clan doesn't care about a failure like me, after all I'm not even a member of their race I was just an experiment to them." She spat out with her fists clenching at her waist before changing the subject,
"Now then we got what we came here for, Mira let's go" To which Mira simply nodded before giving Acon an appraising look and as they were walking towards the balcony Acon stopped them by saying,
"Where are you going to go? You said it we don't belong here"
"We don't know yet but we will figure something out" Mira spoke up, and then to the shock of everybody in the room Acon gave his opinion on that,
"Why don't you stay here? It's not like you were ever actually evil all you did was give me something to do but you never actually put innocents in harms way, hell Demigra and Dabura did way worse than you ever did, as long as you don't cause trouble I don't see why you can't stay here while we're stuck here until someone figures out a way for us to come back" To which Towa mumbled
"If they even have the time to figure it out" causing Acon's and even Mira's eyes to narrow at the statement but for two different reasons. Acon was thinking that there was some unknown threat but Mira noticed she said it as in a way of something else she knows about their situations. Mira then asked,
"Towa what are you implying there?" and she answered by saying,
"There is no threat at the moment to my knowledge but what I meant was the way time travels between universes. Here it's been a few days since we were brought to this universe but back in our home universe potentially years could have passed. It's impossible to tell the exact time passing because for all we know it could even be less than a second has passed between your battle with Mira the possibilities are endless"
At that statement Winter looked over at Acon seeing his head tilted down shadowing his eyes,
"If that's true and we are stuck here then that's all the more reason to stick together. Only we can hope to understand each other and maybe we just need a fresh start, so I'm Acon and I'm a Saiyan created by Shenron to defend time, nice to meet you." With an astonished look Towa just stood there silently at the offer, meanwhile Mira stepped forward close to Acon causing the others in the room to tense up before he smirked and said,
"I am Mira a bio organic Android created by Towa to be the ultimate warrior," and then he shook Acon's hand before everyone looked over at Towa who after a moment sighed and placed her staff against the wall and stepped forward,
"You truly are insufferable, but I don't see a better option so her goes, I am Towa an Angel raised by the Demon Realm but overall I ama scientist it's a pleasure to meet you." Suddenly a clap sounded out coming from Ozpin who was waiting silently during the last bit,
"Now that everything is settled I'm glad to see you all came to a decision, but back to why I originally came here, Ms. Schnee here was sent by our allies to keep an eye on Amber and make sure she stays safe for our own sense of mind and to do so she would need to stay nearby, bringing me to my question" And after that Acon interrupted him
"So you're wondering if she can stay here?"
"Yes exactly, would that be a problem I am aware you have two new house guests but if not I am sure we could find alternate arrangements if necessary?"
"Meh that's not a problem, we have the space and we don't have to worry about food and such, but….wait a minute Towa!" Acon shot up looking over at Towa was so startled she had to take a step back before Acon kept going,
"Do you think you can convert my Zeni into whatever currency they use here?" I have my bank account connected to my scouter and we have a Capsule Corp computer downstairs!" Once again proving her character Glynda stepped up about to yell on how it was illegal before Ozpin interrupted her,
"That seems like a great idea especially if you have already earned the funds… well I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use them in this situation, Ms. Schnee what do you have to say about this?" He said bringing their attention to the other government official in the room who was a little shaken from everything she heard today but hearing that she was being addressed she straighten up quickly before thinking about the situation and finally saying,
"If these are funds already earned I don't see why not convert them, especially if it's all electronic funds so the market shouldn't be harmed to badly by this so I don't see why not carry out with this action." She said all with a straight face and in seemingly one breath.
"Well you heard it here, so Towa think you can do it?" Acon asked after realizing he never actually let her answer if she could, meanwhile after that statement Towa's eye just twitched before snapping,
"Are you trying to insult me? I created a person and you think I can convert funds? Hmph this will be child's play for me" Acon just sheepishly laughed and scratched the back of his neck.
"Well I'll show you the lab later, but Ozpin was there anything else you needed?" He said to which Ozpin closed his eyes thinking for a second.
"Given this new situation, I believe I have a proposition that may benefit you three given you're current situation," Bringing the rooms attention to himself while Glynda just gave a sigh knowing that she was going to get a headache from this decision.
Time skip later that evening
Later that evening after Ozpin and Glynda left Amber was upstairs with Winter catching up, Towa was in the lab syncing everybody's scrolls including the new ones Ozpin left for the three and syncing them up to a scouter while also hacking into the bank to set up an account with Acon's funds. Meanwhile Mira and Acon were in the gravity chamber sparring at 30 times normal gravity.
They stood on opposite sides of the gravity chamber before getting ready to charge at each other again, Acon looked up at Mira and said
"Ready to end it for the day?"
"Yes I am" and with that the two charged at each other with Mira throwing a punch at Acon's face who ducked and swung his leg at Mira's side connecting causing Mira to give out a grunt and knocking him to the ground. Reaching out a hand to help him up Mira stared at it for a moment trying to get used to having friendly spars with someone he was trying to kill a few days ago. After a moment he reached up and grabbed it with a smirk before saying,
"Good spar, I didn't think we would end up like this to be honest" Acon just grinned hearing that before responding,
"Yea it was and honestly I don't think anybody could have guessed this. But I can't say I can complain after all I did want to fight you again Mira, you're probably the closest thing to a rival I have!" Acon laughed out slapping Mira on his back. He just smirked at that remembering his last words and saying,
"I agree, I'm glad for this outcome given the circumstances" He finished before he walked over to the labs to meet up with Towa, While Acon just grabbed a Towel and walked over to the elevator wiping the sweat off of his face before heading up to the second floor and walked out onto the balcony not noticing Amber and Winter still sitting on the couch.
Amber gave Acon a worried look seeing him look a little melancholy as he walked out the balcony overlooking Beacon and the rest of Vail. After a moment Amber got up and followed him out with Winter trailing behind. Acon was lost in his thoughts before he heard someone speak,
"Hey you ok?" Amber said causing him to look up and see Amber and Winter standing there. Quickly Acon couldn't help but put a small smile on his face seeing their concern before saying,
"Honestly Amber, no I'm not but it's fine I'll get through it…after all I always do" he said with his smile getting a little melancholic at the end. Winter recognizing that look from what some of her fellow huntsmen when they lost their drive decided to step forward and try and help this guy out,
"You know I can say maybe talking about it would help, I won't force you but I'm willing to listen if you're willing to talk it out" With Amber giving a nod of agreement. Acon just thought about it and decided it wouldn't hurt to let it out to someone.
"Well I might as well take you up on that offer right? It's just even when I was created I was immediately drawn into a fight and had to learn and improve at the same time. I didn't even know why I was there except to defend time but other than that nothing. Even with the other saiyans and all that in the time patrol I couldn't really relate to them after all I wasn't born and raised a Saiyan just it's what Shenron decided to make me into."
Little did they know Towa was behind the wall leaning against listening to the entire thing. She just sat there contemplating everything Acon was saying before he continued with his story,
"After I was tested I was immediately taught by multiple trainers and started fighting for the time patrol on missions. And then I fought the big guns not long after. Mira he completely outclassed me I was crushed and could barely fight back even with all my training."
Towa couldn't help but smirk in pride at her creation remembering their first fight. Meanwhile Amber and Winter were sitting quietly listening to this story of a fighter from another world. Taking a deep breath Acon kept on going,
"After that I threw myself into training even harder pushing my limits, hell I went and fought gods before I could even hit the third level of super Saiyan. Those fights ended pushing me to that Level and when I went and fought them again this time I won. After that I had to fight a demon god and pushed to an even higher plane of power and even then it was still one of the hardest fights of my life. And the funny thing is all that was less than 3 years."
Amber thought to herself,
'He trained hard enough to fight gods in just a few years, what did he put himself through to reach that level of power?' while Winter had similar thoughts going through her own head.
"After the fight with Demigra it was peaceful for about a year and a half, we remade Toki Toki city entirely into Conton city, built an academy and trained new time patrollers and even brought fighters in from multiple timelines to help us out. That's where I met someone who was the person I could relate to the most, in her timeline she was created and only a few years old too but with an adult mind in a adult body. I grew close with her before Mira and Towa came back better than ever."
Knowing who he was talking about Towa felt a bit of rivalry to one of the few people she could consider her intellectual equal. While Mira, who showed up during the talk with the fight with Demigra prepared himself to hear this next part.
"They had a couple of allies with them who were way stronger than they should have, so I got allies of my own and formed a small team from the first batch of time patroller candidates and a friend I made in an alternate timeline. Together we beat Towa's new allies and freed one guy that was brainwashed, after that I went and fought Mira on my own which was my mistake and led to us being here, any questions?"
After he finished talking Winter and Amber were just processing all of what they heard. Suddenly Amber spoke up,
"So what do you plan to do now? I mean sure you've made some short term plans with Ozpin and all that and helped me out but what about after that?"
"You know that's what I've been thinking about all day especially after Towa said that there's a chance for them to not make it in time I just don't know, even if I can't use my full power for long here I worked so hard and trained so much for what? Sure I could become a huntsman like the rest of you and make a living off of that, but nothing would ever make me have to use my full power here from what I sense. The strongest Grimm is barely at the level of a portion of my power so what's the point of all that extra energy? Was everything I did for nothing? And now for the first time ever I'm almost completely alone in doing this"
After saying that it wasn't Amber or Winter who spoke up but rather Towa who made Mira's and her presence known,
"Maybe not because you're still alive. Sure you possibly wouldn't need your full power on any enemies in this world but maybe that's not a bad thing? Maybe now we can just take the chance and live peaceful lives. After Mira hit his goal of being the ultimate warrior that was all I ever wanted, now I have no purpose, the demon clan kidnapped me at birth from the grand priest before they were sealed off but I was never truly one of them. My power wasn't as extreme as other Angels and all I was a scientist to them after my power level was made clear. Even my own brother used my original defeat as an excuse to kill the Supreme Kai of time rather than genuine care for myself. I know that none of them would come back to try and retrieve me but if I'm being honest I don't want them to, I guess what I'm trying to say is I meant it when I agreed to start over and I'm sorry for what I caused for you."
Hearing her apologize and seeing the genuine emotion she said it with brought a smile to their faces and even Mira who saw her as a sort of mother could tell she was genuinely at peace being free from the demon clan's expectations of her. He himself never liked the way she was treated as though she was inferior even if she could run circles around most of their scientists, she was the only one to create a fully artificial being while the others could barely create functional androids. And then he spoke up to the others,
"I will not apologize for fighting you as it truly was the greatest fight I could hope for but I will apologize for the result, I can not sympathize with what you have lost as all I have ever had was Towa, but I do hope I could in the future consider you as a friend and I can say with certainty that neither Towa nor myself will leave you alone, after all even when we were enemies we never left you alone so why change that now?"
Mira smirked at the end while everyone stared at him with open mouths, even Winter and Amber who barely met them could tell this joke was odd coming from the serious faced android before Acon finally broke the silence,
"Was…Was that a joke? Towa did you teach Mira how to make jokes?"
"I…I never did, Mira where did you learn how to make jokes like that?" Mira just smirked again at their expressions,
"I learned by living and observing everyone's interactions" Causing Towa to feel a small sense of pride at the fact that the Bio organic Android she created growing and learning on his own. She stepped forward and placed a hand on his core before smiling and saying,
"I was wrong Mira, you could never be a failure you truly are and will be my greatest creation."
Hearing that Mira's eyes grew wide before softening and giving his creator a grateful nod at that before they all heard a chuckle causing them to turn to Acon who let out a full blown laugh.
"Thank you Amber, Winter for Listening and Mira, Towa? There's no need to apologize because if it weren't for you I wouldn't even be here so thank you too for being here after all you could have found a different way to survive here but you came here so thanks for making sure I'm not alone, even if you've been doing that already heh" He finished referencing Mira's joke making them laugh before Amber spoke up,
"Honestly I have to thank you too then" she directed towards Mira and Towa causing looks of confusion to appear on everyone's faces not knowing why.
"If you two weren't around in the first place and Acon was born, then I would be inside a capsule slowly dying still, because Acon is the one who healed me and didn't even ask for anything in return" Hearing that everybody's eyes widened knowing that was true before Winter spoke up,
"Then it seems I am in your debt as well, Amber is a very good friend of mine and I hated the fact that there was nothing I could do about her in her previous state, but given that it is late I do believe you three have plans for tomorrow that I'm sure you want to be rested for so we can talk more later." After she finished the others said their goodnights before Acon gave one last meaningful look at the shattered moon and smiling before following the others inside and going to his room ready for the next day.

I'll be honest I did not expect this chapter to get this long. But good news is now I can focus on the main RWBY storyline! If you have any suggestions for other dbz characters to eventually bring in except for the ones I've implied if you can guess who please let me know! Read and Review and thanks for keeping up with the story, stay safe and healthy!
Also for Acon I'm trying really hard to make him into an original character and not have him end up being some self insert so if you have any suggestions on him or relationships between people let me know!
