(General Pov)

Family. The word hung in the air as everyone processed what she said, Taiyang and Qrow moved to speak, but were cut off by Ruby "So, me and Yang have two moms? Is that it, I don't see the problem that stopped you from telling this to us?" Raven blinks before laughing, everyone is shocked by the very un-Raven like behavior until they process what Ruby said and join in. Ruby pouts and complains "What's so funny?" Scarlet giggles "Only you could make something so complicated sound so childish, congrats kid." Everyone laughed while Ruby turned the colour of her namesake in embarrassment.

"Say Scarlet, in the future how do you figure this all out?" Qrow asks to break the silence. Scarlet responds with a hesitant tone "Well, for the most part it was accidental. Someone would get into a fight and we'd hear it, though the only secret that was ever told to us was the one about our parentage. And before you ask, no you do not want to know why." Future Yang goes and stretches before saying "It's late and both of you kids need to wake up early tomorrow and we're to lazy to go back to Beacon at this hour. So, Dad mind if we stay the night, we'll be in the guest room." Taiyang responds "It's fine, you two are still my little girls after all." Scarlet smiles before yawning "Well I'm going to bed. Oh, and before I forget at school you two are going to call the two of us Professor Branwen and Xiao Long respectfully, or you can call me Scarlet and Future Yang Niao and before you ask Yang why give someone a middle name if they're not going to use it." Scarlet got up and went to the guest room with Niao (Future Yang) on her tail. Ruby turns to Yang before getting up and saying "Mom, Raven you two have a lot to talk about with Dad and uncle Qrow. So, I'm gonna go to bed now." After Ruby leaves Yang glares at Raven before going to her room. Taiyang turns to the two-remaining woman "Well, as Rubes said we've got a lot to talk about. So, where do you want to start?"

(the next day)

(Airfields, Vale)

Ruby was nervously bouncing around waiting to get on to the Skyhawk- the Skyhawk was Vale's answer to Atlas' Dreadnoughts back in the Great War. They where gigantic and where mostly used for transporting large amounts of Valean citizens around. As Ruby was nervously glancing around, she felt a hand on her shoulder, Ruby shot up straight before slowly turning around to see a smiling Scarlet. Scarlet whispered in her ear "I can help you skip the line and the crowd if you want?" Ruby vigorously nodded her head before following Scarlet up to the boarding terminal. Scarlet flashed an I.D. before saying something and the next she (Ruby) knew they were sitting first class and that's when she noticed Scarlet's outfit.

She was wearing a long red coat with an attached hood and the right sleeve removed, a red over-bust corset with black highlights, a black shirt with rose vine patterns, a trifecta of belts holding her weapons and various pouches and bullet casings. A pair of functional black cargo pants tucked into a pair of very robust combat boots covered her legs. And finally, on her arms she had a pair of what looked like armoured gloves with the right on going all the way up her arm before disappearing under her jacket. Ruby also noted that Scarlet's hair was straight and in a low ponytail and that she was fiddling with a very advanced looking scroll with what looks like schematics and notes on the screen

. Overtaken by curiousity Ruby asked "What are you doing?" Scarlet laughed and said "well little rose I'm looking through the schematics of Crescent Rose Mk. IX and what I had planned for future iterations. Say what iteration are you on right now." Ruby said with a bit of what sounded like shame in her voice "I'm only on Mk. III and I'm working on the blueprints for Mk. IV" Scarlet grinned "Well little rose I would be more than happy to work on Crescent Rose with you, and if you want, I can help you learn my combat style. Before you ask my current style incorporates hand-scythes, swords, several different types of guns and of course a normal scythe for old times sake. Oh, I forgot I totally need to teach you how to really use our semblance."

Ruby was confused about the last bit "Isn't our semblance moving fast?" Scarlet grinned yet again "That little rose is where you are wrong. Our semblance is actually acceleration among other things, we can speed up anything that our aura is in contact with. That includes a lot of things, see I started cataloging what we could do with it, see our semblance is a compound semblance with multiple parts to it. If it makes it easier to understand our one semblance behaves like it's actually three different semblances. I already talked about the first part, but the second part is where our semblance gets terrifying. So, you know the rose petals we leave behind when we use our semblance right, well it's actually the partial manifestation of the second part of our semblance Shapeshifting. We can turn into the rose petals and when used in tandem with the first part we become intangible and when used with the more complicated applications of the first part of our semblances. Well, we can turn into a storm of petals that can cut through steel like it's made of wet paper. The third part is where we go from a formidable foe to a downright final boss. Now the final part of our semblance is a field type, see we can create a zone of rose petals, where we can instantly burst from any singular petal in the field. Think about it a foe that you can't dodge, block or damage in any way, our semblance is what catapulted me straight to the top of all hunters in Remnant." Scarlet had pretty much ranted for the past minute or two about the application of Her and Ruby's semblance also going out of order for the relevant information, but she knew that Ruby would be able to sort it herself.

Scarlet snorted before she continued ranting " Not only that out semblance is a hereditary one, and before you ask I don't have kids, but there are ways to test for things like whether a semblance can be inherited, Yang has one two, see our semblance is the combination of the Rose Family Speed Semblance and the Branwen Family Field/Shapeshift Semblance, While Yang is a mix between Branwen and the Xiao Long's Conversion Semblance, see Yang semblance is simpler than ours but also significantly weaker." Ruby was in awe at what Scarlet had told her and was pretty much begging to be taught. Scarlet giggled "don't worry little rose, I was planning on teaching you anyway. You know what I'll tell you what the first application is, so if you speed up how fast your nervous system operates you can react at a ludicrous speed, that little trick also increases your ability to remember and learn information and it also lets you practice weapon techniques for stupidly long times. Though you should watch out for the sensory overload, it sucks and causes some of the worst migraines ever…." Scarlet noticed Ruby had used the technique before she was done explaining and was now cradling her head between her hands with her faced all scrunched up. 'Well then,' Scarlet thought 'At least I can let her and Weiss met on better terms. Hopefully?'

Now then sorry for the huge rant and congrats to me for getting my house refloored everything is going great. Also, I should have just passed 5k words with this chapter, I would like to thank the people who follow this story however trashy it may be. I'm still new to this, but I like to think I'm learning. Now this chap goes over MY take on semblances see I'm going to ignore parts of the table flips that came with volumes 5 and 6 and take some liberties with how magic and semblances work. So, first that whole the shapeshifting is magic well I want to say that the magic altered their semblance to give them the ability and that the Branwen twins have a hereditary semblance already giving all members of the family some sort of AoE semblance, Raven in this story is capable a instant line of sight teleportation while Scarlet and later Ruby can teleport to the petals made of their aura, now Yang inherited the conversion semblance from Tai and can turn energy into aura and aura into fire and force, she also got the Branwen semblance with her Field affect being lighting everything on FIRE within a certain radius of herself and for the shapeshift well I'm keep that under wraps also I'm planning on filling plot holes later like how Summer is still alive, how Niao (future Yang) came into contact with Raven and Summer and convinced them to come to Patch for a sit down, there will be more on the way but for now can you hold off out of the goodness of your hearts, mainly because I didn't think this shit through the first time around and I'm going to have to write some side stories to help fill in some holes.
