Team LEGN stood in Professor Ozpin's office as they relayed the events of their mission.
"You say this man is from your world?" Ozpin frowned at the information "this Erigor is from Earthland?"
"Yes headmaster" Lucy responded "we've had trouble with him before."
"What kind of trouble?" Goodwitch prompted.
"He was part of the Dark Guild Eisenwald, he tried to kill all the attending Guild Masters at their conference, Natsu beat him."
"Mr Dragneel, you opinion."
"He was… different."
"How so?"
"Before he used wind magic, this time it was more like a storm, laced with lightning" Natsu paused "and he didn't seem to remember us."
Ozpin thought for a moment "Do you believe you need more power to match him?"
"Even if we thought we did how would you go about granting it to us?" Erza asked him suspiciously.
Ozpin merely smiled and a pattern of green light rippled across his body.
"Aura" Lucy gasped, her eyes wide "you want to see if you can unlock our Aura."
"Yes, I believe that it would be achievable and beneficial for you."
Erza stepped forward "I will go first, to test it's safety for my friends."
Ozpin smiled "Very admirable of you Miss Scarlet."
Ozpin stepped forward and laid his hand upon her brow, his Aura flared to life and after a moment Erza started emitting a bright scarlet glow, both let their Aura fade.
"This feels incredible!" Erza exclaimed "The energy coating me feels reminiscent of the enchantments of my Adamantine Armour, just to a lesser extent, it feels like it's enhancing my strength too."
The rest of Team LEGN grimaced, Erza even stronger?
Truly a terrifying thought.
"Well as leader I should go next" Lucy declared proudly.
"Why didn't you go first then?" Gray muttered dryly.
"Because Erza is obviously the bodyguard."
"I beg your pardon" Erza crossed her arms.
"So I'm next" Lucy completely ignored Erza "so lets do this."
Erza looked completely flummoxed as she had never been ignored before and Ozpin just chuckled and placed his hand on Lucy's head and concentrated, soon Lucy was surrounded in a golden glow.
"Whoa" she said as the glow subsided "this does feel good" Lucy stretched her limbs "this feels really good! Gray your next."
Gray stepped forward eagerly as Natsu huffed in annoyance, Ozpin repeated the process and Gray was bathed in an ice blue glow.
"Nice" Gray summed up simply.
Natsu moved forward eagerly but Happy started crying "Why don't I get special glowy powers?!" he whined loudly.
Ozpin smiled and patted the the sad cat consolingly, his hand glowed green and the effect was mirrored on Happy in a lighter shade of green, the colour of his guild mark.
"What?" Happy muttered confused.
"Aura exists for all that have a soul" Ozpin smiled at the cat "you get special glowy powers too."
Happy flew around cheering happily "My turn!" Natsu shouted excitedly, Ozpin placed his hand on Natsu's head and he was overcome by a flame orange glow, but something was wrong, Natsu seemed to be shaking, suddenly the glow flared extremely bright and Natsu screamed in pain.

Natsu ground as he regained consciousness, his eyes opened slowly and he looked around, he saw that he was an infirmary, he groaned as he sat up.
"Natsu!"
Natsu looked around "Hey Luce….what happened?"
"You're a freak of nature" a gruff voice sounded "congratulations."
The two looked around and saw a man standing there with a cane.
"Who the hell are you?!" Natsu growled at him.
"I'm your doctor" the man limped over to the bed.
"You aren't that friendly for a doctor" Lucy deadpanned.
"Hi I'm Greg" he said sarcastically "wanna talk about that local sport team" he turned back to Natsu "far as I can tell you're fine."
"What happened?" Natsu was confused.
"Look at your arms" Lucy said quietly.
Natsu looked down and gasped, he now had dark red scales along the outside of his arms and the back of his hands.
"Cool!" Natsu exclaimed happily.
"Yes 'cool'" Greg rolled his eyes "you just completely switched species, I'm sure 'cool' sums that up entirely."
Lucy grit her teeth, this doctor was starting to annoy her.
"Switched species?" Natsu asked, even more confused.
"You somehow went from human to faunas, very interesting isn't it" Greg grinned slightly manically.
Lucy sighed "What can he expect to change for him?"
"Well he'll have better vision, hearing, the scales give some extra protection and he'll experience rampart racism" he began limping away "have fun."
"Thanks doc!" Natsu said happily.
Greg looked at him "Why're you thanking me?"
"You helped me, why wouldn't I?"
"It's just my job."
"You still chose to do it, so thanks."
Greg raised am eyebrow at him "You're fine, you can leave whenever you want" he then limped away.
"He annoys me" Lucy stated neutrally.

Natsu strolled into his dorm "I'll back!"
"Natsu!" Erza grabbed her friend and slammed his head into her chest-plate.
"AHH!" Natsu frowned then straightened up "huh" he felt the scales on his forehead and cheeks "these scales and Aura thing do help, I barely felt that."
"So what happened?"
Natsu turned and saw team RWBY sitting in the room.
"Hey guys!"
"What the hell happened to you?!" Weiss asked loudly "how did you become a faunas?!"
"You say that like a bad thing" Blake said vaguely angrily.
Weiss turned to look at her "He changed species!" she said firmly "human to faunas or faunas to human it. isn't. natural."
"She has a point there" Ruby said fairly.
"True…" Blake conceded "….so why did it happen?"
"No idea!" Natsu exclaimed with a goofy grin.
"I have a theory" Erza stated "Natsu's dragon slayer magic changes parts of him."
"Aye that's right" Happy said from his bed "dragon lungs for his dragon breath, dragon senses and the heart and soul of a true dragon!"
"Yeah!" Natsu agreed loudly, lighting his fist on fire in excitement and pride.
Erza smacked him and continued "Given this I believe the manifestation of his soul brought his dragon side to the forefront of his physicality."
"Wait so does that mean Gajeel and Wendy would get scales here too?" Natsu wondered aloud.
"Probably" Lucy said then she looked thoughtful "I wonder if dragon slayers like Laxus would gain scales?"
"So you are….a dragon faunas?" Yang asked.
"Yeah isn't it great!" Natsu exclaimed happily "I'm a faunas just like Blake!"
Silence fell in the room.
"What?" Weiss said quietly.
"You know, she smells a lot like a cat" Natsu said casually.
"Her bow keeps twitching when she gets annoyed" Gray stated calmly.
"She loves tuna far more than an average person does" Lucy deadpanned.
Weiss turned to Blake "Is this true?" she asked accusingly.
Blake looked panicked, her eyes darted back and forth then she bolted for the door, Yang tried to stop her but she only managed to trip Blake, as she fell a dark purple glowing circle formed under her, Blake's eyes widened as she fell through the circle, through the floor and into darkness, she flailed wildly, a bubble passed her in the darkness, there wasn't anything else in the void, tears formed in her eyes, then she felt a strange pull upwards and she was suddenly yanked out of the darkness into the air.
Weiss dropped her sword and dispelled the gravity Glyph and ran to Blake's side, as did the rest of team RWBY.
"Blake calm down you're okay" Yang hugged her tightly.
Blake slowly calmed down, soon she released Yang from her grip.
"Why didn't you tell us" Weiss asked coldly.
"I..I-I was…" Blake sighed "…I was scared."
"Why?"
"You're a Schnee, why wouldn't I be" Blake stated just as coldly.
Weiss looked hurt "Being a Schnee doesn't mean I hate faunas on principle, it means I dislike the White Fang because of the shipments that went missing, the board members who got killed, how….difficult it made my father" at this Lucy put a comforting arm around her "I'm not angry because you're a faunas, I'm angry because you didn't trust us, your team, enough to tell us."
Blake looked down.
"But…..I forgive you."
Blake looked at Weiss in surprise.
"I get where you're coming from" Weiss admitted "plus if our friends can forgive mistakes then so can I" she stated proudly while looking at Lucy.
Lucy smiled at her "You're thinking about those stories about Gajeel and Laxus, aren't you?"
"Yes" Weiss looked slightly embarrassed.
Lucy giggled then gave Weiss a kiss on the cheek.
"WWWHHHHAAAAAAATTTT!" Happy screeched then fell backwards with his leg twitching.
"I think you broke him" Gray observed dryly.
"Okay so everything is good now" Yang interrupted "but….."
"What happened to Blake just now?" Ruby finished for her sister.
"That was magic" Erza stated thoughtfully.
"What?!" Blake near shouted in disbelief.
"That was shadow magic" Lucy said "we've seen it before."
"Yeah, from diorama!" Natsu shouted.
"Kageyama" Lucy corrected Natsu as she slapped him.
"H-How could I gain magic?" Blake was stunned.
"In our world magic is gained from absorbing Ethernano particulates" Erza stroked her chin in thought "we don't know if your world has these particulates naturally or if it was introduced when we were."
"I'm a witch?" Blake asked nervously.
"Pfft no!" Natsu grinned "you're a mage, like us."
Blake smiled.
"Well now" Erza grinned and cracked her knuckles as a dark aura surrounded her "we'll just have to train you ourselves."
The entirety of the room shook with fear and backed away from her.
"W-Wait, you can't!" Blake stated fearfully.
"And why not Blake?"
"I-I-"
"We need to tell Ozpin!" Natsu blurted out "we should tell him first before we do anything else!"
Erza stared at him "…..You're right Natsu, come everyone."
Erza strode out of the room.
"Thank you Natsu" Blake got up and hugged him "thank you."
"Hopefully Oz doesn't let her train you anyway" Gray muttered fearfully.

"Miss Belladonna has gained magic?" Ozpin was stunned "what kind?"
"She has gained shadow magic from our world" Erza stated calmly.
"Interesting…." Ozpin thought for a moment "…can you demonstrate?"
Blake furrowed her brow then held her hands out slightly from her side and concentrated, a faint magic circle flickered to life at her feet.
"I think I'm-AHH!" Blake yelped as she fell into her shadow, Ozpin leapt to his feet but Blake reemerged "…I really need to get a handle on that…..it feels weird."
Ozpin thought for a moment "Do any of you have a similar magic to Miss Belladonna here?"
"No headmaster" Erza responded.
"Hmm….Miss Belladonna will have to practice this magic on her own…luckily it somewhat ties in with her semblance…Miss Scarlet, Miss Heartfilia do you know enough about magic to investigate this occurrence?"
"We'll do our best sir" Lucy promised.
"Good" Ozpin at down and sipped his coffee "you may go now."
Teams RWBY and LEGN left the room and Ozpin smiled grimly.
"This is quite the development."

"Why do you think I'll be able to help?"
"I know you're the one who guided them to this world."
"Heh, can't get much past the Fairy Tactician can I?"
"Oh I have no idea how or why you did it, just that you did…and I thank you for it."
"It's just…..I just got done with my own version of Remnant."
"Please help them."
"Don't worry Mavis, I'll keep an eye on them."
