Chapter 2: And so it Begins… Welcome to Beacon

Beacon Academy, About a week later…

Another beautiful day on Remnant, unfortunately for several people it is marred by the sight of Atlesian Battle Cruisers and gunships flying through the air. Said ships were in the vicinity of Beacon Academy; the gunships were currently patrolling the airspace while the cruisers themselves were touching down on the landing pad. All of this could be seen from Ozpins Office, which is high up on a tower that could easily be seen as the tallest building at Beacon; currently, it was occupied by three people: Ozpin himself, Glynda Goodwitch, and Manami Aoi. All three of them were in an agreement of sorts.

"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels," Glynda says in a distasteful tone.

"Tell me about it; from what you've told me, the man just loves being direct and blunt. It's like the word discreet isn't even in his vocabulary if all of this is any indication." Manami added.

"Indeed, James was never one for subtlety when it came to tactics; those ships of his definitely are an eyesore. And running the military and an academy makes him a very busy man Glynda."

Their conversation would have continued if a chirping beep wasn't sounding off; Ozpin looked at his desk to see the holo-message "Access Requested" on his desk. He announces, "Come in."

The elevator doors open to reveal a man in a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie, and a white glove worn on his right hand. His suit pants share the same color as his overcoat and are tucked into silver boots accented in gray. His hair is kept in a clean military cut, which had grey hair on the sides, he had grey eyes and a metal strip above his right eyebrow. This man was General James Ironwood; he enters the office and as soon as he sees the headmaster, he cordially semi-shouts, "Ozpin!"

Ozpin stands at attention, and replies formally "Hello, General."

"Please, drop the formalities," Ironwood asks as both approach one another and shake hands; he continues by stating, "It's been too long."

He turns a bit to see that a certain blonde professor had approached them, "And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."

"Oh, James!" Glynda sarcastically greets as she gives a personable wave then drops all pleasantries as she tells Ozpin, "I'll be outside."

"Well, she hasn't changed a bit," James said casually before noticing Manami who was currently leaning on Ozpin's desk with her arms crossed, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were currently talking with a student, I'll come back later when you are free."

He didn't even get to turn around when Ozpin said, "It's alright James, this is the Honorary Huntress I talked to you about in the last two weeks."

It was at this moment, Manami chose to approach the duo knowing where Ozpin was going with this; the headmaster announced, "James, I would like you to meet Manami Aoi: Honorary Huntress of Beacon, Future Warrior of Universe 7, Hero of Tokitoki City and so much more. Ms. Aoi, this is James Ironwood: General of the Atlas Military, Headmaster of the Atlas Huntsman Academy, and holder of two seats on the Atlesian Council."

Manami offered the General a handshake who graciously accepted; as the two shook hands, the Saiyan states with a formal smile, "It's good to meet you, General."

"And you as well, Ms. Aoi" James replied. Seeing that introductions are now over, Ozpin then asks as he turned and walked back to his desk, "So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?"

Manami and Ironwood turned to Ozpin and moved closer as Beacon's headmaster takes out a mug and kettle, continuing to speak as he pours coffee into the mug, "Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival."

Ozpin offered the cup to Ironwood, who took the cup as he answered, "Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year," Ironwood then took out a canteen and poured it into his cup as he continued, "Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up."

Beacon's headmaster took out another mug and poured some coffee, offering it to Manami who silently but politely declined before he sat down behind his desk.

"I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned."

"Well, concern is what brought them here."

Manami did not miss the subtle message within his words as Ozpin responds, "I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult."

Tired of the subtlety of their conversation, Ironwood interjects, "Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men."

Ozpin takes a drink before setting down his mug to answer; he sighed, "We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression."

Ironwood tries to counter, "But if what Qrow said is true..."

"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully," Ozpin says with finality before adding, "It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So, I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent."

"General," Manami began, garnering the attention of both the general and Ozpin wondering what she has to say, "I know you mean well, but you have to keep in mind that every action you take has consequences; I may not know what war you were waging before I came home, but I fought in two short wars to preserve what others have created, which taught me a thing or two. To the people, soldiers are a symbol of war while huntsmen are guardians to the people and guardians are a symbol of hope and peace. So, when you decided to bring these ships, did you take into account the negative feelings you have stirred up, feelings that the Grimm are attracted to."

Ironwood sighed, "I'm just being cautious."

"As are we," The Saiyan Huntress reminds him, before explaining, "Which is why while you two continue to train the best huntsmen and huntresses you can, I will be training a select few to combat the Time Breakers, or at least the warriors and monsters they send."

"Believe me, I am…" The Atlas Headmaster replied as he turned to take his leave, but not before giving a few parting words, "But ask yourself this: do you honestly believe your students can win a war?"

However, Manami's response was almost instant, "Honestly, I hope they don't have to, but it would be foolish to think so; whoever is allies with the Time Breakers has now been given a new world of assets to hit us with. The select few that I'm going to train will be given the means to fight back."

The Atlesian Headmaster looked back as he states, "You say that as if we are powerless against the Time Breakers."

Manami retorts, "If you read the reports about the Super Grimm and the Docks Incident, then you know why."

"I have, and I think Ozpin, Taiyang, and Qrow may have exaggerated greatly."

"And the videos Ozpin sent?"

"I haven't had the chance to look at them."

"Then I suggest you look at them as soon as you are free, it's imperative that you look at every piece of information we've sent."

At that Ironwood nodded before he finally left. Once he was gone, Manami turned to Ozpin and said, "I should leave as well; I have a class to teach after all, please inform the chosen teams to report to the Combat Class Arena. Oh, and Greene as well considering he is now a part of the war against the Time Breakers."

Ozpin nods before Manami made her way to the elevator; as she did so the Headmaster of Beacon hit the intercom to make the announcement, "Will Greene Gale as well as teams CFVY, CRDL, BRNZ, NDGO, ABRN, SSSN, and FNKI report to the combat classroom immediately, this is a mandatory meeting, no exceptions nor excuses."

Combat Classroom, 30 minutes later…

In the combat classroom, the four teams were chatting amongst themselves as they wondered the reason as to why they were called to this meeting and what it was about; in the process they each got to know each other a little better. Greene told everyone a little about himself, from how he is a new student at Beacon and the reason why, to how he was made an honorary huntsman, to him being the Green Guardian much to everyone's surprise; he even showed off a few of his abilities as proof. In return, he learned the names of teams and their members.

First was Beacon's team CFVY. Greene had met the Rabbit Faunus, Velvet Scarlatina in the hallways of the academy; the two had a few pleasant conversations before the latter had to leave with her team. Now he had the pleasure of meeting Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, and Yatsuhashi Daichi. Next were the academy's former bullies themselves, team CRDL: Cardin Winchester, Russel Thrush, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark. He had heard about how they caused trouble before they received a humbling experience two months ago or so; according to Ozpin and Manami, they were now more tolerable and were slowly becoming more disciplined in both attitude and combat skill. Afterward were the students from Shade Academy. One was team BRNZ: Brawnz Ni, Roy Stallion, Nolan Porfirio, and May Zedong; the other team was NDGO: Nebula Violette, Dew Gayl, Gwen Darcy, Octavia Ember. First impressions: both teams seemed cool enough, though Brawnz seemed like a bit of a muscle head and Dew seemed a bit aloof. Then there were the teams from Haven Academy. Like teams CFVY and CRDL, Greene had already met team SSSN while he was exploring Beacon and they seemed like great guys. ABRN on the other hand was different; he only met Arslan once or twice in the halls in the past few days and did not meet much. From his formal meeting, he gleaned that while they were a mix of two different worlds, one laid back and the other more disciplined; they were friendly enough however and that was enough for him. Last was team FNKI from Atlas, and his first impression of them was interesting, to say the least. Flynt Coal was cool-headed, smooth, and was an all-around nice person. Neon Katt was very talkative, reminding him of a certain speedster from the future back on Earth-16, but did not talk nearly as much and contained a lot more girl talk. Kokai Yogan… was scary at first considering he read that she has a violent tendency or two but she is actually pretty cool to talk to. Ignace Grey was the most disciplined one in the group but is nice to talk to. All in all, the teams are a nice group with CRDL still a bit iffy.

"Hey since you're pretty much Manami's unofficial partner considering you two are both Honorary Huntsmen thanks to the Headmaster, do you know why we are here?" Sun asked, gaining Greene's attention.

Everyone realized Sun's logic and was now looking at Greene; the Lantern from Earth-16 merely sighed, "I have no idea; besides I don't think you guys should be assuming things. I've only known Ana for about two or three weeks and that includes my time before I became an Honorary Huntsman. Your guys' guesses are as good as mine."

The more mature members simply nodded while those like Sun fiddled around sheepishly, slightly embarrassed by the fact that they were thinking like a five-year-old. Greene on the other hand just continued speaking, "However, I have a hunch as to what this is about."

"Well then newbie, what's your hunch telling ya?" Coco asked.

"I think Cardin knows as well; after all, he and several members of teams RWBY and JNPR experienced an unusual Grimm encounter in the Forest of Forever Fall."

Cardin raised an eyebrow in confusion before the pieces suddenly came together from that memory Greene mentioned, "Wait a minute! One, how do you know about that? Two, you really think that this is about that jacked-up Grimm?"

"In that order? I'm now a part-time member of Beacon's Faculty when it comes to certain classes, so I have access to certain files. And yes, it's very likely that what this meeting is about."

"What are you guys talking about? The majority of us are visiting students, so care to fill us in?" Arslan butted in.

"Well, we've all seen how the Grimm normally are correct?" Velvet asked; when she saw everyone nod, she continued her thought, "While my team wasn't present for any of these events, we saw an odd Grimm encounter during Beacon's initiation through a video."

"What was so odd about it?" May Zedong asked.

"For one, the Grimm itself was a Geist," The Rabbit Faunus answered, shocking everyone who hasn't experienced or even seen the encounter; everyone knew that a Geist could only be found in rural areas like the countryside, so they were wondering why was there one so close to Beacon. However, their shock only grew when Yatsuhashi added, "There is another thing that made the encounter odd: somehow it was generating an Aura, one that seemed dark and sinister just from the looks."

"That's only the looks though, it's much worse when you are close to a Grimm like that one," Cardin added gaining everyone's attention, "I've actually felt its Black Aura; something about it… it sent shivers down my spine like it was my worst nightmare come to life and I'm just putting it mildly. What's worse they could also somehow fire some kind of dark energy blast to attack their victims."

"Wait Black Aura and dark energy blasts?" Sun asked, getting a nod from the members of CFVY and the leader of CRDL. Flashes of the Docks Incident flew through Sun's mind; the Monkey Faunus of SSSN sighed, "I think we're in much bigger trouble than we think guys."

"Why do say that Wukong?" Brawnz inquired.

"Have you guys heard about What happened at the Docks about a month back?" Sun asked; getting a unanimous nod, he adds, "I think it may also be related to these odd Grimm encounters."

"How? There were no Grimm reported at the Docks at the time of the incident," Dew rebuts only for her team leader, Nebula, to realize what Sun is saying and add, "But there were some spotty reports of humanoid beings with the same Aura and ability to fire energy blasts and then some."

Flynt Coal was a man of many things, being blind is not one of them; he voiced his thought, "There are too many connections with what has been said for them to be pure coincidences. Something is not right here."

"Agreed…" Ignace states with a tone of seriousness. Hell, due to the gravity of this conversation, it has even toned down the high energy that Neon and Kokai are known for. However, everyone was pulled out of their thoughts when they suddenly heard someone clapping. They all looked around to find the source and as they did, the source of the clapping spoke up, "Well done guys, you've figured out the purpose of this meeting."

"Who's there!?" Sage shouted; he, however, received no immediate response. After a good chunk of silence, Kokai shouts, "Show yourself, dude. Even though it's large, you are in a room full of huntsmen and huntresses."

"Huntsmen and Huntresses that are in training, but let's not get into technicalities," The voice corrected as the source made itself, or rather herself known… by floating down onto the arena stage. Everyone, except for CFVY, Sun, Cardin, and Greene, was completely dumbfounded by what Manami had just done. The Saiyan merely chuckled at their priceless expressions seeing as they had witnessed her do something impossible before she decided to get this meeting started.

"Alright guys, I know that you are dumbstruck at the fact that I was flying, but we need to get this meeting started; besides by the end of this session, you guys will find that my ability to fly is one of the least interesting things that I can do," Manami announced before she punched in some commands on her scroll; turning on the large screen on the far wall behind her. As it powered up, the Saiyan Huntress began her presentation, "As you all know and discussed, there were multiple unusual occurrences that happened on Remnant within the last six months. Some were never published and kept secret by Professor Ozpin himself due to all of these happening under his jurisdiction. What you are all about to learn is not to leave this room. Am I clear?"

All she got were a few nods and mumbles as well as a clear "Yes ma'am!" from those she knew that have what she was capable of; her response to this was overkill, but very clear. Manami flared her aura and unleashed a portion of her power, weak enough to ensure something large doesn't go flying but strong enough to give of pressure in the room that screams 'Try me, I dare you…'; as the Saiyan did so, she asks again, this time with a tone of scary finality, "I asked all of you… Am. I. Clear?"

The response to this was a unanimous chorus of "Yes ma'am!"

"Good, I apologize about my over the top response to your weak one but this matter is so serious to the point where it would cause mass panic, bringing a massive horde of Grimm to our walls, one that might spell disaster; that is something I would rather not happen," Manami announced.

The Saiyan let the group calm down a bit before continuing with the meeting, "Now what I am about to show you is every single incident up until now. Please watch closely and hold your questions until the very end."

And so, began a short viewing of several videos and slides of each incident. The dread that they felt before the meeting had slowly but surely increased. When they were shown the incident in the outskirts of an abandoned village that involved Manami's Uncle and father, both of whom were highly trained huntsmen, they were worried. However, when they were shown what happened, the most recent Grimm incident and the Docks Incident, the teams were pale as ghosts. They received a short explanation of what Manami really is and what she is capable of and what she faced in each instance. To say that their minds were blown is an understatement in and of itself. CRDL had their suspicions that Manami had some kind of secret but they never would've guessed something this big; CFVY was similar but they never got a chance to talk with Manami excluding the time she helped Velvet with the then bullies. Sun already knew and he may have let it slip once by accident talking to Neptune, but he never really thought that his best friend and leader wasn't exaggerating. The rest have had no idea what to think. Manami had just opened their minds not only to a whole new world but to an entire universe. Well more like an entire multiverse, but a lot of info bombs were dropped on them already; they don't need to know that just yet.

"What the hell did we just get ourselves into?" Octavia of NDGO asked.

Manami sighed, "Trust me, Octavia, this is just the tip of a massive iceberg. There's a lot more than what I just told you guys, but I don't want to overwhelm you guys with too much information. What I am covering right now is enough."

"Okay, but why us? Why tell us this… whatever this is? How are we going to take these guys on when they are capable of wiping us out just by glaring at us? Tell us, Little Miss Super Saiyan!" Roy yelled in frustration.

"Because each of you is the best of the best from each of the four academies… and we need people like you because you are the only ones who are fit to receive the training necessary to combat these threats," Manami answered with a knowing smile.

Greene's eyes widened at his unofficial partner's words, realizing the meaning behind them, and asked, "Hold on! Are saying what I think you are saying?"

Her smile merely widened at this, confirming his thoughts; he voiced his only thought, "Holy shit…"

"Dude, can you fill us in?" Neptune asked, to which Neon adds, "Yeah, most of us here aren't following what she's saying unlike you."

Greene turned to the other students with a knowing grin, "If you guys can recall the video, then know that most of what you have seen that Ana was capable of, she will pass on to us."

The students from each of the academies were confused at first, but after thinking it through their eyes widened in shock. Anyone wandering close the combat classroom or as far as outside the building that contained it could hear a chorus of students shouting, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?"

Once again, Manami's ears were ringing even though she covered them knowing how they would react; The Saiyan mutters, "Damn it not again."

"We're gonna be learning how to fly, shoot those energy blasts, and move faster than the eye can see?" Nolan, Gwen, and Sage asked/shouted.

The Honorary Huntress answered, "Yes, yes, and that last one is relative to whose eye we're talking about, but that's another conversation altogether. Anyways, the point is this training will unleash some of your hidden potentials and will allow you to combat this new threat."

With that said, hope was shining within the eyes of the students; they now had a chance to at least stop these new enemies. However, one question popped into a certain fashionista's mind, one that she voiced, "Wait you said 'the best of the best' would receive training, right?"

Manami raised an eyebrow and replied, "Yes, why do you ask?"

"No offense to Team CRDL considering that they have greatly improved ever since the Forever Fall field trip under Professor Goodwitch's as well as your watchful eye, but why are they here instead of teams RWBY and JNPR," Coco explained.

The Saiyan of Universe 13 chuckled in response knowing that a specific question would be asked eventually. She merely answered with a smug look, "Why don't you ask the two teams yourself."

Suddenly eight people, each wearing a martial arts gi, appeared above Manami. For some of the students, their shock is because of these eight people who have received the training; for others, theirs were two-fold due to the fact these eight were in fact teams RWBY and JNPR. Manami wished she could take a photo of the student's faces but unfortunately, she decided to keep things mostly professional.

"Are there any other questions?" Manami asked, leaving room for someone to follow up; when no one did, Manami said with finality, "Good, now let us begin…"

Later…

The training session started very well as Manami, with the help of Teams RWBY and JNPR, began teaching the basics of Martial Arts to the students, CRDL being the exception due to their time with Manami during their detention last semester; it took about an hour and a half but they got the basics quite well while the ex-bullies got a nice refresher. Afterward, they got to the next important aspect of their Training: Ki Control; the first step was to learn how to call upon their Ki. They were instructed to get into a meditating position, holding their hands close to each other and close to the chest but never touching, and focus on a warm feeling and channel it without forcing it into the space in between their hands. Surprising no one considering the results from Teams RWBY and JNPR during their accelerated training session, everyone had a small orb of Ki hovering in their hands within no more than a half-hour. Manami smiled at what the group had been able to accomplish and looked forward to what their potential is like when unleashed in full; sadly, that will have to wait as she took up enough of their time as 3 hours was the most she was willing to spend to ensure she isn't impacting the student's education at Beacon. Once the session was over, as everyone was leaving Manami and Greene left together to hang out for a bit; no one but Yang noticed, but the blonde kept silent and subtly smiled. Blake on the instantly vanished, quite literally, taking some time to relax in peace… or so the others thought.

Blake was actually back in her team's dorm room, thinking about what had occurred during the last semester. Many thoughts were swirling through her head but the three biggest ones kept popping back up: What is the White Fang up to? Why were they working with a human, especially one like Torchwick? And why are the Time Breakers helping them? But then they soon turned into one irritating thought. Why is everyone not doing anything about them; they had gained newfound strength and abilities, so why? Unfortunately, she was jarred out of her thoughts as her team entered their room.

"Well that was a nice training session, wasn't it?" Weiss asked.

"Sure, but it was a bit slow for my tastes, it only picked up after we did an extra two hours of practice in private," Yang replied.

"Hey they're only starting Yang," Ruby reminded her sister before adding, "Unlike them, our team and Team JNPR had an accelerated and steep learning curve for the two weeks we trained; they only have 3 hours each day and 5 on the weekends to learn everything we know."

As they conversed, Blake got up to leave but unfortunately for her, Weiss took notice as the Faunus reached for the door and called out, "Stop!"

Blake's hand stopped mere centimeters from the handle, giving the heiress a chance to announce, "Lately, you've been quiet, anti-social, and moody!"

"You do realize who you're talking to right?" Yang pointed out with a hint of sarcasm.

"And I know that it's kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual the past week! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to all of us that you would let us know if something was wrong!" Weiss explains but then flips through the air before she points her finger at her friend as she dramatically asks, "So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?"

The room was silent as everyone saw Weiss balancing precariously on a chair's backrest before she quickly puts it away and returns to stand near Ruby and Yang. Blake sighed as she stepped away from the door, "I just… I don't understand how everyone can be so calm."

"Is this about Torchwick?" Ruby asked, worried about her friend.

"Torchwick, the White Fang, the Time Breakers, all of it! We all know something big is happening and we have the power and abilities to stop it; on top of that I have more than enough knowledge about the White Fang, yet here we are twiddling our thumbs and doing nothing! Why!?" Blake snapped.

The trio all looked to each other but were at a loss for words. Normally they could see reasons why they shouldn't but all of those reasons are now weak; Blake was right, they were some of the strongest beings on Remnant, so why not do anything? Their answer came when their door opened as someone announced, "Because of a few things that you seem to have forgotten…"

Everyone looked to see Manami at the door, who then entered and closed the door as she continues her explanation, "First of you may know how the White Fang thinks, but you have no knowledge of the Time Breakers, which leads to my second point. The Time Breakers also utilize Ki Control meaning…?"

"They could hide their Ki Signatures," Weiss realized.

"Which gives the advantage to them," Manami announced. However, upon seeing their look of confusion, she explained as she leans against the wall next to the door, crossing her arms, going into great detail, "Torchwick and the White Fang don't know how to mask their signatures and since I've good chance to study him during the fight at the docks, more specifically his Ki Signature, I know where he is. But since we now know that he is an associate of the Time Breakers, they know that I can sense him and are always on guard; they are likely prepared to ambush me once I either Instant Transmission or fly there."

"Damn it," muttered Blake in disappointment.

"This brings us to my next point, we have no idea who the Time Breakers are and how strong they are. It's likely that these unknowns are even stronger than the last ones my friends in the Time Patrol and I have faced. Remember the warrior's philosophy I told you guys?"

"There's always someone stronger than you…" Ruby started while Yang finished it with, "…Always aim to surpass that strength."

"Exactly," Their Saiyan sister said before explaining, "That's why I am training every single chance I get because there's someone out there who is stronger than me and there's a good chance that they aren't friendly. Like Goku and Vegeta, I wish to become stronger but my reason is purely to be able to protect everyone from threats like Cooler, Frieza, and countless others like them."

Ruby and Yang gave a teary smile at Manami's proclamation while Weiss and Blake at first were surprised but quickly turned into a warm smile. The Faunus' mood sadly turned sour once again as she then asks, "But why aren't you doing anything like patrolling Vale?"

"I'd rather leave that to the police," Manami jokes before quickly adding, "Besides, I'm only one person; I need to train a select few to help me personally, I.E. you four and JNPR, and a handful of guardians from each of the four Kingdoms to give the world a fighting chance against this threat."

"Hence the training you are putting CRDL, CFVY, and some visiting students through," Weiss finished.

Manami nods before saying, "That's only part of it, however; the main reason is because of the fact the Time Breakers can just pull any warrior they wish out of any timeline and send them after us."

That bit of info silenced Team RWBY before Yang facepalmed, announcing, "Dust dammit! How could we forget about that!"

"What makes it worse is that they could send out a warrior at any given time and place due to their ability to teleport to any timeline and location," Manami adds.

"What!?" RWBY shouted.

"Now you know why my specific reasons for doing nothing but training, teaching as well as attending classes to keep up appearances," Manami announced. However, Blake then says as she gestures to herself and her team, "But that doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it."

"I was hoping you would say that," Manami said with a smile. She then stands tall as she places her arms behind her as she announces with authority, "As the only full-fledged member of the Time Patrol here on Remnant, I hereby deputize you four and charge you with this mission: On Friday, starting 1 hour after class, you four, as well as anyone else I send with you, will gather information in any way you can about the White Fang; however, the time Breakers do not know that I've been training you and thus don't know what you are capable of, I advise you four to keep it that way unless the situation becomes too dangerous to do so. At the end of the night, we will meet at Beacon's landing pad to discuss what we have found. If things go south I'll be ready to help just in case; and before you ask I'll know things have gone south if you guys go full power."

This caused various reactions from the team. Ruby smiled brightly as she gave her sister a salute, Yang gave a shit-eating grin and slammed her right fist into her left palm showing she was raring to go, while Weiss and Blake merely nodded. The Cat Faunus then said, "Thank you, Ana."

Manami raised her right hand as if to say stop and announced, "Don't thank me yet Blake; while this mission is mostly about gathering information, it doesn't mean that it will be easy."

That grabbed the team's attention as the full-blooded Saiyan solemnly continued, "Information about the White Fang or Torchwick isn't going to be easy to find. Even if you do find it, coming back with the information is an entirely different matter as it will likely attract the wrong kinds of attention; people will be suspicious at least, hostile at most. That being said, I want you guys to be vigilant when you are out in the field and keep your guard up. I'll leave it to you ladies to come up with a plan."

Manami left their dorm on that note, leaving nothing but gloomy air once she said her piece. It was several moments of silence before it was broken by none other than Yang, "Well that wasn't exactly uplifting."

"But it's the truth, Yang," Blake replied before adding, "This isn't going to be easy, especially if the Time Breakers are involved."

"Well we're just going to have to give it everything we've got to accomplish the mission," Weiss states, before Ruby adds, "If it comes down to it we break our limits if we have to."

At this, the team smiled, as Ruby then announces as she raises her arms in a gesture, "Then let's hatch a plan!"

Yang then points both her index fingers like twin guns at Ruby as she gives a "Yeah!"

Ruby then gasps as she announces her realization, "I left my training weights in the Gravity Chamber!"

"We're doomed," Weiss deadpanned as she facepalmed. Ruby then runs out of the room as she shouts "I'll be right back!"

However, Ruby didn't go very far as she ran into someone in the hallway as an audible thud was heard outside the door, followed by, "Ow!"

Yang went to the door to see a concerned Ruby on top of two people, a grey-haired young man, and a mint-haired girl, wearing Haven academy uniforms. The Red Reaper notices the situation she is in when she recovered and then says as she gets off the two to help them up, "I'm so sorry! Are you two okay?"

"Yeah we're fine," The girl reassures before adding, "Just please watch where you are going next time."

"Again I'm sorry about that," the young Rose apologized before introducing herself, "I'm Ruby, by the way."

"Hey don't worry about it," The young man said before returning Ruby's gesture, "The name's Mercury, and the lady right next to me is Emerald."

"Are you guys new?" Ruby asks.

"Visiting from Haven actually," a new voice said. Everyone, looked behind the newcomers to see the raven-haired young lady, "My name is Cinder, it's nice to meet you, Ruby."

Ruby nodded before saying, "Oh you're exchange students here for the festival; your building is just east of here."

Mercury and Emerald nodded in appreciation as they walked past Ruby, followed shortly by Cinder who said, "Thanks, maybe we'll see you around."

"Yeah, maybe! Welcome to Beacon" Ruby shouted as the three exchange students left, but failed to notice the malicious smirk on Cinder's face. However, Ruby's eyes were filled with suspicion since used her Ki senses on instinct while talking to them and she did not like what she felt; while not as dark as a Grimm's, Ruby felt malice and darkness from all three of them to different degrees. She turned to Yang, only to see her nod, silently relaying that she felt the same thing. Ruby nodded back before she rushed off to get her training weights, but not before filing away the information for future reference; however, she could not help but think that something big is coming… she just had no idea how right she was…

Time Nest, Universe 13, Age 854

"Are you sure about this Akane?" Chronoa asked examining the photos that were given to her.

"Yeah, I'm sure," Answered the Saiyan in red, still frowning from the info she had found in the Time Rift; why wouldn't she, that rift had shown a dark future for one of her friends, one that she considers a sister. Melinda did her best to comfort her friend on the way back to the Time Nest but she could only do so much.

"Damn it!" Trunks muttered clenching his fists in barely contained rage and continue, "After everything we've been through, that she's been through, this is how she is repaid!?"

"Not on our watch!" Chronoa states with venom, venom aimed at the Time Breakers for their actions. "Trunks! Have you and the others found a candidate to head to Remnant?"

Trunks merely nodded, "After careful consideration, against my better judgment, I've placed myself as a candidate to go."

The Half-Saiyan from the future steeled his nerves waiting for his superior's expected answer, but it never came; instead, she said, "Very well, Trunks."

"Huh?" The lavender-haired young man said in confusion.

"Despite your occasional awkwardness, you know how to work with Manami considering she was your partner for more than two years, and you are the most experienced field operative we have when it comes to long term operations," Chronoa announces, "Besides, she's like a sister to you."

Trunks nodded appreciatively, before the older Kai beside her said in his usual exasperated tone, "Just don't do anything rash, I don't think we need a repeat of what happened last time."

The Half-Saiyan winced, knowing what Elder Kai meant as he was referring to another timeline that Trunks had changed in secret, unwilling to let his mentor, Gohan, die. However, he was just glad that they allowed that timeline to exist… for the time being.

"Now then, do you have anyone that can handle your job of running the Time Patrol as a temporary Second-in-command?" Elder Kai asked.

"I would suggest putting Blake Belladona and Blizzard as co-leaders, those two from what I have seen, work well together," Trunks announced.

"Ahh, our most recent yet promising prospects eh? They have been showing great skill as leaders lately. Very well, I approve," The old man announced.

"Agreed," Chronoa announced before turning to the two full-blooded Saiyans to command, "Akane and Melinda, you two will continue your investigation on the Time Rift, hopefully, we can find a lead on where the Golden Scroll is before it's too late."

The two aforementioned Saiyans nodded before they left for the Rift. Leaving the two Kais and Trunks. The Supreme Kai of Time then asks Trunks, "How soon can you leave for Remnant?"

"Friday around noon at the earliest, the evening at the latest," answered the Half Saiyan before adding, "Gonna need to talk to Blake and Bliz about their temporary positions first and show them the ropes, grab the necessary supplies, and get some training in one of the Hyperbolic Time Chambers before I leave."

"Very well, we'll leave you to it then," Elder Kai states to which Chronoa adds, "I'll send word about the supplies to the shops, they'll have everything ready for you on Friday, so that should give you ample time to train once you talk with our temporary co-leaders. We'll call you if anything new comes up in the meantime."

Trunks nodded before he took his leave, heading towards Conton City's gate, as he did the lavender-haired Saiyan thought, "Hang in there old friend, Reinforcements are coming soon…"

AN: Well... things just got interesting.

For one thing, I did in fact make room for two OCs to be the two members of FNKI that were never officially shown - Kokai Yogan and Ignace Grey. I do not however own them as I base them off loosely of the creations of a Deviant Art creator named Omnipotrent. Now, if you know about them, my version of these two may or may not be different. An example being Kokai; she will remain mostly the same with very few changes. Ignace on the other hand might receive significant changes to his weapon and semblance or he may remain the same; most likely I might try and create a new weapon that doesn't make his weapon look like something out of Yu-Gi-Oh - I have nothing against the series as that was my childhood right there, but I want to make something with the same principles as Ignace's current weapon but different. It will completely depend on how they will fit into my story. Luckily for me, I don't have to worry about their fight scenes until mid-Volume 3. And like Omnipotrent, I will have them represent the music style they represent - Flynt represents Jazz, Neon represents 8-bit Pop/Techno, Kokai represents Metal, and Ignace will represent classical and funk.

The other thing is something you guys can already guess... Trunks is about to head to Remnant! Oh, I'm gonna have so much fun with the upcoming fight scenes!

Also, did you guys manage to catch a name drop in the last scene... if your answer is Blake Belladona then you are correct! And before you guys ask, yes that was intentional and as for why... That's for you guys to find out down the line.

Update: After the Zamasu incident, Chronoa had installed a few Hyperbolic Time Chambers in Conton for emergency training under the authorities of Chronoa herself, Elder Kai, or Trunks.

On that note, leave a review of what you guys thought (refer to my review policy on my profile) and I will see you guys soon.
