Turner left the hospital room with a red face and a heavy sigh. You see when turner was about to leave he turned to ask Ms. Isabella something only to see her bear back as she sat in her bed. He only saw it for a second though. Not wanting to be rude he quickly looked away, but now he struggled to get the image out of his mind.
"She claims she is older than me but just look at her. She is definitely a minor. So No bad thoughts, No bad thought, No bad thoughts." Turner continued to ramble on in his head like this for a couple minutes as he made his way down the hall way, until he slipped on slightly inclined part of the floor.
"Damn that hurts" he groaned as he stood back up. He then looked around and realized he was completely lost. "Damn I guess I just pick a direction and go. Eeny, meeny miny moe" he said as he pointed in random directions. "All righty let's take the Moe out" he said as he walked off in that direction.
He walked through the dark hallways for hours. Well he thought it was hours his watch didn't work so he didn't really know. What he did know was that he was getting very tired. He continued to walk through the dark hallways until he lost his footing.
As he fell forward he realized he had stumbled across a stare case. Unable to catch himself he fell and tumbled down the stairs. Though he could not stop the tumbling he tried his hardest to avoid rolling over his head and roll down on his side.
Once turner finally stopped all he could feel was pain. He tried to look around but his consciousness slowly slipped away and he passed out.
When Turner awoke the sun was shining in through the large stain glass windows illuminating the hallway at the base of the stairs. It was a wonderful sight to see but he had other things on his mind, like who was that leaning over him?
As his sight came back into focus he can see the person in front of him as she was basked in the light from the stain glass window. She wore a long sleeve brown jacket had the trunk cut short to expose her stomach. Under that she wore a semi-transparent black shirt. She also had golden spaulders and vambraces. She also had brown shorts with a golden belt. Knee high black boots that had gold plated heals and toes as well as black leggings. Her jacket and shorts were and shorts also had gold trim. She possessed long brown hair and . . . Fuzzy brown bunny ears!"
"Oh my god! I just got saved by Velvet. Those ears though." He thought to himself.
Velvet was surprised when she noticed that turner was awake and staring at her which caused velvet to back away a little and cover her face with her ears and hands. She sat there on her knees, hands up by her face and her eyes peeking out behind her ears.
"Um are you all right?" she asked.
"I think so" Turner said as he tried to sit up but instead started coughing as he gasped for air laying back down.
"Here let my help you up" she said as she quickly got up and offered a hand to turner.
Turner looked at her had. It was her right hand. "If you don't mind could you offer your left hand instead?" he asked with a smile.
She looked down and realized what she was doing and quickly switched hands.
"Thank you miss" he said as he took her hand he stood up.
"The name's Velvet, Velvet Scarlatina." She said.
"Nice to meet you miss velvet. May I ask why you are here? I thought all the students were gone?" turner asked.
"My family is from the southern part of vale so I live in the dorms over break." She answered with a soft smile. "But why are you here and are you all right, your injuries look really bad." She said he expression changing to one of worry.
"Oh I am fine now. I had an unfortunate accident with some dust when I was repairing a weapon so I was brought here for emergency treatment at the time" turner said "yah that sounds believable." He thought.
"Oh so you were a huntsman?" she asked a little curious.
"Oh no. Not at all. I am a weapons repair man." Turner said with a slight grown as he held his side.
Velvet's eyes lit up "really? Because I need a little help with this" she said as she pulled a picnic basket sized box out from behind her.
"But first let's get you to a medical bay, Do you think you can walk?" she said as she say him holding his side.
"Hmm. I wouldn't mind helping at all with . . . whatever your weapon may be. But unfortunately all my equipment was destroyed when my shop went up in smoke." Turner said, which technically was true since the shop he worked it did get blown up. "Honestly I don't think I can walk at the moment I can barely stand as is."
Velvet's ears dropped as her expression changed to a sad one. "I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Cortez."
"No need for formalities just calls me Turner. And if you can help me find me way to Vale I'll pick up some tools and help you with that." He said as he pointed to her box.
Velvet's eyes brightened as a joyful smile appeared on her face as she took turner's arm and placed it over her shoulder.
"Thank you Mr. Cortez, I am glad to help. Here lean on me so we can get you to the infirmary"
Turner smiled and leaned on Velvet for support as they slowly made their way to the infirmary.
Meanwhile Isabella was in the elevator leading up to Ozpin's office. She wore her complete standard Army Combat Uniform (ACU) in the operational camouflage pattern. This included combat boots, ACU trousers which were tucked neatly into her boots and held up by the standard nylon belt.
She also had the ACU T-shirt which was covered completely by the ACU jacket. She also wore a metallic chain around her neck which had her dog tags on it, which she had tucked into her shirt. To finish off her uniform she wore her hair up in a bun with the patrol cap.
Because her hair was rather long a portion of her hair stuck out of the bun as a pony tail. Also all her clothes looked slightly too big for her.
Isabella looked out the window of the elevator and spotted Turner through the large hallway window talking to someone.
"Hmmm I hope that man knows what he is doing." She thought to herself.
The elevator dinged and opened to a large oval room with a massive floor to ceiling window that took up almost half of the wall space. There was also a glass ceiling that exposed numerous moving gears and clock work of all sizes.
In the center of the room were a coffee table and two chairs. In front the chairs a little closer to the window an office desk and an unoccupied chair. A person in a dark green suit with a green scarf around his neck was found standing by the window. He also had messy silver hair.
"Please take a seat Ms. Peach, and Ms. Cruz." The man said without looking away from the window.
Both Peach and Isabella took a seat. Isabella noticed that two empty cups and a small verity of drinks were placed at the center of the coffee table. She did not bother with the drinks. Isabella came here for answers and she will present herself in the manner in which she expects to receive those answers if: A serious one.
Peach on the other hand poured herself a dark fizzy drink from a pitcher which looked like soda. She then placed a couple ice cubes in her drink with a clink.
Isabella just stared at the man waiting for his questions. Finally the man turned towards them and sat at his desk. "Isabella do you know where you are currently?" he asked her while placing his mug into the DICM.
"Do you mean coordinate wise or local names?" Isabella asked promptly
"Local names please" Ozpin asked with a nod.
"Academic district of Beacon Academy, the Huntsman school in the Kingdom of Vale within Remnant" Isabella promptly and plainly answered as if she was answering a drill sergeant.
Ozpin just blinked a few times stunned that she knew exactly where she was and what the public knew was done there. But Ozpin's serious expressionless face did not waver.
"Hmm very well then I see you have already acquainted yourself with the basics of our world." Ozpin said as he stared at Isabella. "Tell me do you know why or how you got here?"
"I am unaware of how or the reasons why I was brought here. I agreed to this meeting in hopes that you would be able to inform me on those matters." Isabella promptly replied.
Ozpin sighed. "I was hoping you knew the answers to those. I honestly don't know why or how you were brought here. But I may know a bit about where you were from." Ozpin said with serious expression. "Which leads me to my next question, what is your favorite fairy tale?"
Isabella was puzzled by this question. What in the world does fairy tales have to do with her? "I have not bothered with fairy tales since I was a child but I recall it was The Star Money. One of the many Brothers' Grimm stories, though I was fonder of the original than the adapted version. The other I was found of was the little match girl by Hans Christen Anderson
Ozpin raised a bow as he looked at her with curiosity written all over his face. His expression that caught Peach by surprise and she promptly took out her scroll and snap a couple pictures.
"I don't believe I have heard of either of those, but unfortunately we do not have time to discuss those." Ozpin said.
"Then why did you ask about my favorite fairy tale" Isabella stated.
"I was hoping that you were familiar with some of the tales of remnant but I see that you aren't so I'll explain." He said as he picked up his mug and took a large drink from it.
"You should have just started with that instead of wasting both of our time." Isabella snapped at him.
Ozpin did not respond to her statement he just continued with his story. "We have a tale here called Death's Gift. It tells the story of a king who is losing a war. He begs and pleads to the gods to show him favor in the war but they remain silent. In desperation he pleads with death to spare his citizens for they have done nothing to deserve death. Death tells him that no one can be spared from him, but he offers the king a Champion from another world to protect his people."
Ozpin paused his story to take another sip of his coffee. Isabella just sits quietly in her chair feeling like this is all really pointless. She glances over to peach and finds her sitting on the edge of her seat listening to the tale with a ridiculous grin on her face. Isabella just rolled her eyes at Peach's actions.
"How are these people even professionals in their fields?" Isabella thought to herself.
Ozpin cleared his throat "Where were we? Oh yes the champion. The King agreed to Death's offer and was granted a Champion. But death warned him, that the champion was from another world and that it was the king's responsibility to teach and guide the Champion through Remnant. To this the King agreed. With the new Champion at his side the king was able to end the Great War and create a truce with the other kingdoms."
Ozpin then finished the rest of his coffee and placed his cup in the DICM. He remained silent for a moment waiting for Isabella's response.
Instead of Isabella Peach spoke up "Professor isn't there more to that story?" she asked.
"There was but I was just giving an overview of the tale" He said with a slight smile.
Finally Isabella spoke "So I am assuming believe me to be a Champion brought from another world you called here to help you?" she asked.
"Yes and no." Ozpin said with a nod. "I was not the one who called you. In fact I have no clue who asked for you. But I am assuming you're from another world and that you would help us."
"From what I gathered you are correct I come from another world called earth. I was part of the United States army until I was brought here, which does bare resemblance to a champion of sorts. But why would I bother to help you. I have my own country to fight for." She said sternly as she pointed a finger at Ozpin.
"Because I do not believe you can return to your country." He said as stood up and grabbed his cane.
"For better or for worse you are here now in Remnant. Since you no longer have your country to fight for I recommend that you continue your honorable deeds and defend the people of remnant." As he spoke he circled around his desk and stood in front of Isabella.
He held out a hand to her and looked her dead in the eyes "This is your new home after all. So why not protect it?" he said with a slight grin.
Isabella stared back into his green eyes. She was able to tell that there was slight Machiavellian in his actions. His proposal was not an offer it was a threat.
Isabella did not take his hand. She just stood up holding her gaze and said blatantly and clearly said "I will not be accepting your offer at this time."
Ozpin just raised a brow to this.
"If you want me to help you I must know everything about the war you fighting, who the enemy is, who the other players are, and the way this world operates" She said as she gave of an atmosphere of such seriousness that the air seemed to have become heavy and hard to breath.
Isabelle turned around and headed to the elevator door and pushed the button. Ozpin just stood there in silence. He has meant very few people that possessed such a commanding presence that it can even overwhelm him. He quickly snapped out of it his trance."
"Ms. Cruze, where are you going?" he asked.
"I'll find a nearby hotel to stay in and conduct my investigation from there." She said as she tapped her foot becoming impatient with the elevator.
"Ms. Cruze, since you are considering my proposal at least let me offer you residence at Beacon?" he said as he gave her a friendly smile.
"I do not see a problem with that, plus it offers better accessibility to information." As she spoke the elevator dinged and the doors opened.
Ozpin Nodded with a smile. "I'll have Ms. Goodwitch meet you in the lobby and have her find a place for you to stay."
"Very well, I'll have to stop by the infirmary first to gather my belongings" Isabella said while she crossed her arms and entered the elevator.
"Thank you for considering our offer Ms. Cruze." Ozpin said as he gave her a lazy wave goodbye.
"No problem Ozpin, and if we're using titles then address me as Sergeant Cruze from here on out" she said with a scowl as the doors closed.
Ozpin shook his head and took out his scroll and dialed Glynda's number.
"Hello Glynda. No time to talk our guest is leaving my office I need you to meet her in the lobby and set her up with some housing on campus."
"You want me to just drop my work and find housing for a new comer." Glynda says with a heave sigh "And you wonder why I cannot get anything done for my classes. I'll meet her there is 5 minutes." Glynda hung up after that.
Peach stared at Ozpin "Why did you not tell her about the sword?" she asked
"Because we do not know what she is capable of or whose side she is on." Ozpin said as his grip tightened on the handle of his cane.
"I see" Peach said as she looked down into her empty cup. She was not fond of Isabella but she was felt it was wring to keep things from her, especially if she would be helping them in their secret war.
Ozpin sensed her doubt as he walked over to her and sat in the chair besides her "Don't worry we will tell her everything in due time."
Ozpin set his mug down and poured himself a cup of soda. "So how is our intruder doing?" he asked as he sipped his soda.
"Despite his injuries he was doing quite well physically but I am not too sure about his mental state." She said clearly worried for her patient.
"Hmm. Why do you say that?" Ozpin asked clear concern in his voice.
"I believe he Suffers from PTSD and as a result have become slightly delusional." She said adjusting herself in her seat. Discussing patient's medical history without their consent has always made her feel uneasy.
"Hmm. I see." Ozpin said deep in thought "When can I speak with him?" he asked.
"I don't think you can do that." Peach said nervously.
"And why is that?" Ozpin asked as he looked at peach with a cold blank stare.
"Because he's missing" she mumbled.
"What do you mean he's missing?" Ozpin said not lifting his gaze from peach.
"He left sometime last night, and I have no clue where he's at" she said looking down at her feet.
Ozpin sighed. "Very well I'll send Qrow to find him. Please go back to the infirmary and see if there are any clues to where he went."
Peach popped up from her seat. "Yes. Will do Professor" she said as she raced to the elevator to get to work.
AN: For those of you wondering Isabella is supposed to be a sergeant, with specialty in the special forces engineering sergeant. I Tried to look up the general time frame it would take and i found that sergeant within the special forces is the highest she can get within 5 years if she was part of the ROTC in college and earned a 4 year's bleachers degree. though i might be wrong so if anyone really knows what wank she would be please let me know.
Also should Isabella become a student of a staff of beacon?
Currently i am leaning towards staff.
