Okay, this was kind of nice to rewrite.

Honestly, this chapter could have looked and been a lot nicer in terms of... well, everything really.

It was kind of nice being able to go back to this again.

I had woken up after getting in the Bullhead an hour after that fight, I saw a menu saying it gave me EXP from the fight putting me up a couple of levels which is pretty awesome for a lot of reasons I won't get into.

Don't really care as it was a bit late to tell me, plus it was a story fight basically and, in all honesty, I really don't want to be enslaved by her... or anyone really.

My body was a little sore but I was good nonetheless, I look to see Harko sitting there silently. She doesn't notice that I've woken up, guess I might have been out for a while

I get up and walk over, we're on bullhead to Beacon currently from what I could tell.

I can hear the rain softly tapping on the roof, calm but not the point right now.

"Haruko." I say softly

Haruko finally notices my presence and gives me a hug for... well being concerned about me since I basically used most of my power to defeat a high-level Band Tribe leader, surprising no one, it didn't get me to level thirty, I checked.

It kind of sucks that RPG's work that way sometimes... meh.

"Haruko, what's up with the hugs?" I ask, pretending to be confused

"You really do too much, you need to stop risking your life so often." Haruko says sadly

I hug and pat her back a little, a small smile growing on my face.

I comfort her a little, it's hard to be a hero sometimes since reading plenty of books, watching TV and movies has shown me that they carry an incredible weight on their backs and other people have to deal with that sometimes.

Hell, I sometimes don't even know how to be a person sometimes which was and is honestly a bit sad even for me.

Living life as an anti-social person was hard, especially considering my situation now, it looks like that has to change.

I've got a sister to deal with, and this time, she's younger than my actual one.

Which means a lot considering my other sister is my twin.

"It's alright, I won't risk it again... this month, I'm gonna be risking my life a lot but I'll try to tone it down." I say in an honest tone

She nods in understanding and we sit back down in silence, a menu suddenly pops up in front of me.

Just like any other time, I read it since that's what you usually do in this kind of situation.

|Social Link rank up|

[You are now better friends with Haruko Thea, now she'll comfort you and you'll comfort her in hard times.]

|New Ability: Secret Keeping|

[If you have a secret, Haruko will now keep it a secret if you tell her. She'll even make sure that secret is kept safe.]

|Spring Maiden has leveled up!|

So that's a thing now, huh. Cool, I guess, Persona Abilities are nice to in all honesty.

Welp, I should probably check in with Qrow, wait he's walking in to check on us.

He walks over to me, I guess I should play what happened off.

For the best considering everything thus far.

"Hey Kid, you okay?" Qrow asks a little concerned

"I'm fit as a fiddle as they say." I respond simply

Qrow gives me a smile and pats me on the back, I guess that raised morale a little. Seeing a kid fight a Bandit Tribe leader by himself can be a bit... devastating, I have attracted a lot of people's attention with what I'm doing after all.

I then hear the overhead buzz, I'm guessing we're near Beacon.

"We are near Beacon, we will be landing in about an hour." The com said

Knew it, it looks like I'll be talking to Ozma soon. It's important that I do, most people try not to meet him in most fics out of his nature. I'm willing to go along with that nature and even exploit it.

He may be untrustworthy but he's got something I need... influence and connections, using that to my advantage would make the fight against Salem a hell of a lot easier.

I check the time on my Hackers Gauntlet, it's currently 5:45.

Two hours before that even occurs, I'll have to get the meeting done in one hour or less.

A menu suddenly pops up in my face.

[New Quest]

Saving Fair Maidens

|Description: Fate's a bitch and it decided to try and cause Amber's death a lot earlier, so it's your job to go out and stop that from happening. Two Maidens are a hell of a lot better then one as they say.|

|Objective: Save Amber|

|Rewards: 5,000 Exp, 20,000 Lien, slight Social Link Ranks up, New Social Links|

|Failure: Death of you and Amber/Your and Amber's enslavement by Cinder or Salem|

That failure never did sound good, and since Amber's involved I have to succeed rather than fail. Even if she didn't die, I doubt that extra lives exist since that would make this way too easy.

That would make things harder for everyone, including Haruko.

We then land at Beacon, I know it might take a bit to get to the top and time is of the essence right now.

I look at Qrow, he looks back seeing my look.

"Qrow, I know of a way to get us there faster." I say

Qrow looks at me with a slight surprise, then he shrugs nonchalantly. Like he usually does.

No surprise there.

"Alright let's hear it." Qrow says

I gesture Haruko over, I grab her hand and Qrow's.

I cause energy to crackle across me

'Teleport' I thought

We were then in the office of Ozpin, Ozpin is sitting at his desk.

He's, currently, widely surprised that two kids and Qrow just teleported here, he then quickly calms down.

It's clear this man is a master of that sort of thing, ya'd wonder why by now?

"Hello Qrow, and who these two children might be?" Ozpin says

"My name is Aaron Thompson, and the girl nearby is Haruko Thea. Haruko is the Spring Maiden, and we have proof that we both use magic." I say

"Wait, she's the Spring Maiden?" Ozpin asks

I stick my palm out and focus my magic on Qrow and Ozpin along with Haruko, my hand starts to glow a dark blue.

"Libra." I say

Suddenly small menu's pop up in front of their faces, Ozpin looks at it with wide eyes as does Qrow and Haruko. Libra is a pretty cool spell, it allows people to know information about the enemy or in this case.

"This is all information about me and my life, how did you do this?" Ozpin asks

"I can because my powers are different from others, I was sent here from another world to stop an evil force and change the timeline." I explain simply

"Really? Well... I'm glad to see you're willing to help us." Ozpin says

"Yes, I'm glad also. Don't mention it." I say

I looked at Haruko, she sighs. I've been secretly training her in the forest also, she makes some wind appear around her body which Wind Dust never could do. Ozpin's eyes widen, he's looking at the Spring Maiden.

"How did you-"

"I'm fucking magic Ozpin as I have established, I'm literally a Brothers damned seventeen-year-old stuck in a seven-year-old body. So can we move on now to us basically helping you kill Salem already, I've got someone to save from death since they are most likely walking around alone since Grimm probably killed her family in an attempt to kill her since she's basically the Fall Maiden which you know is Amber? Fate's being a bitch and I'm honestly tired right now, so let's get a move on." I say, eye slightly twitching

They all look at me in shock and in confusion, the shock is I just said all of this randomly and the confusion is how well I know what's going on.

Which all makes sense, it was kind of a good idea to reveal most of my cards considering our current situation.

"Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way. I'll explain after I do something." I say looking at me Hacker's Gauntlet

The time is 7:30, I have to go to Amber right now or else I might not be able to save her in time considering how life is sometimes.

She's gonna be in major danger in about fifteen minutes, and in need to keep her safe from harm from Cinder of all people.

"I'll be back in about a minute or two, so just wait and you'll get everything explained." I say

Ozpin looks at me confused, I ignore that and then crouch on the ground for effect.

"What are you doing exactly?" Ozpin asks

"Just... wait, okay?" I ask

No one is gonna see this coming, and maybe Amber since she hasn't met any people who can use magic.

Nothing more I need to mention here, though more observant readers may have noticed I've cut out some swearing.

Honestly, a lot of it was kind of unnecessary in my opinion. So yeah... those are gone now.

Like I said, better version all around.
