A/N: well I forgot to update yesterday since I was quite busy… anyway here is chapter 17
X
'The events happened in that forest was unexpected, but the mission stays the same, Ruby awakening her powers… is a favorable alternative than the rest of the scenarios we expect.' - Cyclonis

It was late in the afternoon when the bullhead landed on Beacon academy the students, and their instructor rushed the unconscious Ruby towards the infirmary, now as they waited the students decided to get answers about what Ruby did in the forest.
"M-mom?" Yang started as teams WBY, JNPR, and reluctantly TRAK since the latter team knew about it and CRDL left moments before, approached the distraught mother as she sat next to Ruby's bedside. "W-what did Rubes to those Grimm?"
Summer glanced at the gathered students and made a quick eye contact with Cyclonis who merely nodded, the white Rose sighed sadly as she addressed her students, "It is complicated… but I would wish this would remain secret understand?"
"We understand professor." Pyrrha said as the rest nodded in which their guidance councilor sighed again and took a deep breath then started to explain.
"As you can see Ruby and I have silver eyes correct?" she asked her students
"We figured but… what makes it special? I mean its just a pigmentation of eye color… right?" Weiss said unsure if she was correct.
"Well for some yes… but…" Summer trailed off as Yang step forward concerned "But what mom?" Summer looked at her and to the rest "Has anyone of you ever heard of the legend of a group of warriors that fought the Grimm with the help of their eyes?"
"No, not that I heard of." Blake added
"Well I will tell you, but I doubt Ozpin will allow me to correct?" Summer said as she glanced at the door of the infirmary shocking the students as the headmaster of Beacon came in along with Glynda Goodwitch. Ozpin looked at the gathered students and took a glance at Ruby then back to the group
"I believe, Summer that the time is right to tell them and I am here to answer the questions… after professor Rose tell you about why those with silver eyes are special." Ozpin said then addressed to Summer "Summer if you please?"
Summer nodded as she spoke to the students "Back before Huntsmen, before Kingdoms, it was said that those born with silver eyes were destined to lead the life of a warrior." the students eyes widen at this revelation as Summer continued "You see, the Creatures of Grimm, the most fearsome monsters mankind had ever encountered, were afraid of those silver-eyed warriors."
"But how is that possible!" Weiss exclaimed, with Jaune adding "Yeah, I mean that… how could the Grimm be afraid of something?"
Summer smiled as she continued "That is why they were the best of the best. It was said that even a single look from one of these fighters could strike a Grimm down. Like how Ruby did in the forest…"
"But if they were feared by the Grimm… what happened to them?" Cyclonis asked the white Rose, true she knew about it… after all she is her commanding officer…
"Even with all of that… they were hunted down…" Summer said sadly knowing the fate of her ancestry… a hard look came over her, her mother died because of them, because of Salem and her lackeys. She clenched her fists as her students look on.
"What do you mean by hunted down?" Ren asked cautiously
"A group of Grimm worshipers, people who sell out others just to have powers they could ever imagine. Hunted down the warriors until I was left and then came Ruby… I knew someday she will awaken… but not like this I never wanted her to walk a path of a warrior… always fighting…" tears streamed out of Summers eyes as she stood up "I'm sorry" was all she said as she left, all eyes followed her all feeling sympathy, then they all turned to Ozpin as he readied himself of questioning, Mesirix told him when they last met that this may happen and again some things always fall apart, he once said.
Cyclonis and her team excused themselves saying they are getting tired and left while WBY and JNPR remained with the other two professors of Beacon, Team TRAK walked down the hall, three of the members went directly to their dorm while their leader went another way. unfortunately someone followed her down the hallway

Golden eyes narrowed suspiciously as the hooded leader of TRAK walked down the hallway, Blake cannot bring herself to tell her teammates about it but she could have sworn that both Cyclonis and prof. Rose have a silent discussion on the way back of the bullhead and at the infirmary, Blake prided herself even during her time in the White Fang as to look in the slightest detail and this one screams very suspicious…
As she followed Cyclonis her eyes narrowed even more there was Cyclonis standing in front of an office she could recognize too well, Prof. Rose's office, she saw the girl knocked twice then entered. Now was her chance to find out the truth, even she could she could not believe what prof. Rose said, coming from another dimension? Preposterous! Its impossible to that unless a Semblance can do it but the chances are slim to non, heck even then… Weiss, even she may be nicer now, thinks its impossible but she never questioned it in the long run, now it was her chance, a chance to find out their true agenda of all this. She leaned on the door, luckily with her enhanced hearing she could make out some few words coming from inside…
"...I should have reacted faster…." Blake heard the voice, prof. Rose's, as another voiced most likely Cyclonis's "…You couldn't have foreseen such things…" what did they mean by that, Blake questioned as she leaned on the door trying to get the clearer conversation
"... You don't understand!… I tried my best but with her awakened people will ask questions… like now!" Summer exclaimed
"I know you are distressed by the current events, but things like that happens all the time."
"I know that!" Summer exclaimed "But it is too soon… what if they get wind of this?"
"Do not worry Summer I will make sure of it, I will contact someone in downtown Vale to keep hush hush about this." Cyclonis has someone in Vale that works in information? Just who is Cyclonis really?
"Thank you…" Blake have heard enough as she slowly removed herself from the door and tiptoed to leave, only to be caught as the door opened and a neutral faced Cyclonis looked at her, eyes widening she tried to dash only to be held back by a strong grip.
"And what do we have here?" Cyclonis began "How much have you heard?"
"I don't know what you are planning… but I won't let you hurt my friends, just wait until prof. Ozpin hears about this!" Blake said defiantly as an amused Cyclonis dragged her inside the room as she spoke to the struggling faunus "Now, now, Blake there won't be like that, I assure you."
"As if I would listen to you" Blake spat as she turned to a concerned professor "Professor! Please help me!" in which the older Rose replied
"Blake please listen first, Cyclonis and her team are here to help, and Ozpin knew about them." as she finished Blakes eyes widen as she still continued to struggle, who knew such a lithe form could have a strong grip on her as she glared at the older Rose, whom said woman flinched "I don't know who you are but what you did to Prof. Ozpin or anyone in the matter, but what you are doing is wrong!"
"Miss Belladona that is enough!" someone yelled as Blake now stopped struggling, eyes wide as a ghostly apparition of prof. Rose appeared next to a… "W-who are you!" Blake yelled as Cyclonis let her go and leaned back at the door
"My name is Summer Rose" Ghost Summer said "and before you could panic, yes I am a ghost, and yes I am Ruby, and Yang's mother."
"If so then… who is she?" Blake said as she now pointed at the other Summer who now sat down
"She… is me… and at the same time… not me" Ghost Summer said, Blake raised an eyebrow as Cyclonis sighed at the explanation so she spoke "It means they," pointing at the two Summer(s) "are Summer Rose at the same time they are not.", the pieces formed together in Blake's mind as her eyes widen "You don't mean…"
The Summer who is sitting sighed, things are moving faster than anticipated, Ozpin should be notified of this… "I took my mothers name when I came here and along with it her spirit, now we share the same body… but in truth my real identity is… is that I am Ruby Rose… 10 years from the future…"
Blake has only one thing in her mind as it went out from her mouth "What!"

A/N:
I hope you like the update if not… let me know and I might rewrite it if it is moving to fast now… in truth I make my stories on the go, meaning I write what I think in my mind and make up as I go… forgive me if this is not up to your expectations…
Yes more revelation as volume 4 is in development and I have to say I was quite surprise as the latest episode revealed that cinder killed Ozpin… yeah and that compares if the world will have world peace… except in that episode in RWBY: chibi where they achieved world peace…
Also I have some thoughts about the relic that Salem mentioned and I have my cents on a time machine! Since Ozpin theme kinda consists of clocks and time…
Anyway tom will be RWBY:oTFS update
