A/N: Before I start this chapter off I want to thank Pokeman1280 for officially becoming this story's second beta reader.

Lautrec, Mount Shire. Twelve days later. 1:17 PM.

Two people, a claymore and her traveling companion were traversing the rocky mountain to reach their goal.

"Hey Clare, can I ask you something?" the young boy asked, "Are we going after a yoma?"

"No, Raki." Clare responded, "My job today is to put to rest someone you would call a Claymore."

"Eh? But why one of your own? Why do you have to do that?"

"You do know that we're half yoma, right?"

"Well, yeah." Raki answered a bit confused as to why Clare mentioned that.

"In our bodies, we hold the power of a yoma and control it with our human minds, which preserves our identities." Clare began to explain. "We're basically monsters with human heads. That's what they mean by 'half-human, half yoma.' Even though we are half yoma, we side with humans and kill yoma. We are humankind's greatest weapon. Before we existed, humans were powerless against yoma. But by using the yoma's own power, they could finally defeat them. However, there is one big drawback. Those using the yoma's power could eventually become full-blown monsters."

"But, that means…" Raki said a bit stunned.

"If we lived like normal people, it wouldn't be a problem. But the more we use the yoma's strength and abilities, the closer we are to becoming monsters. There's a tug-of-war between our human minds and our yoma bodies. At some point, the human mind breaks down and we turn into full-fledged yoma. To prevent that from happening, the Organization has a plan."

Clare reached into a hidden pocket in her claymore uniform and pulled out a black envelope.

"We use this. It's called a Black Card," she said as she handed the envelope to Raki. He opened the envelope to find a black card inside with another claymore's emblem on it, extremely similar to Clare's with only slight variations.

"This is like the symbol around your neck and on your sword," he said a bit surprised.

"That's right," Clare responded as she reached for her claymore. "When we're sent out to work, we're given each a unique emblem. It represents our name and identifies us within the Organization. And the hilts of our swords carry a black card." She pulled a piece off the hilt of her claymore and showed Raki her own Black Card.

"When we know that our human mind has reached its limit and we're about to turn into a monster, we chose to die as a human. That is when we send the Black Card to the one we want to be killed by." She finished as she placed her black card back into her sword.

"Then, who sent you this card?" Raki asked, "Do you know them?"

"Her name is Elena. We joined the Organization at the same time. We comforted each other in our darkest hours. When our bodies were transforming and were wracked with pain, we'd hold each other at night so we could sleep." Clare explained.

The sound of a footstep caught their attention and they saw a young Claymore who looked no older than seventeen.

"Hello, Clare. It's been a long time." The young claymore said.

"Elena…" Clare said seeing her friend again. "You haven't changed. You look just like you did back then. I thought you'd be more distorted by now."

"I'm forcing it back so I could meet with you," Elena said sadly. "How long has it been? It feels like ages, but I remember it like it was yesterday. There was so much pain back then, but for some reason, I can only remember the good times. I started this job after you. I never thought I'd end up like this before you did. It's… it's no good." At that moment the veins in her body started to bulge.

"I thought that taking on the yoma's power would give me strength. But to control it, you have to have a strong human heart. So… Please… Hurry! Do it. Do it while mine's still human." Elena cried as tears flowed down her face.

Clare never hesitated. In a split second, she delivered a fatal blow to Elena's body by severing her heart and then caught her friend before she could fall. Clare gently laid Elena on the ground with sorrow in her eyes.

"Thank you, Clare. Now... I can die as a human. I'll say hi... to Teresa... for you..." Elena said before she passed on from the world."

[...]

Elena awoke in a lush green field. As she looked around she noticed a very familiar log cabin next to an ancient oak tree. A small creek flowed near the ancient oak with the sounds of small creatures swimming in the warm waters. She knew where she was. She was home. Everything looked like it did before her family was killed by a yoma that had found them. The front door to the cabin opened and a woman with long hazel colored hair walked out with a handwoven basket full of laundry.

"Mom!" Elena cried as she ran towards her mother. Her mom looked up and saw the young claymore. She dropped the basket and embraced her daughter. "I'm sorry for everything. I just wasn't strong enough."

"It's okay Elena, it's okay." her mom said as she stroked the back of her head. "Joseph! Ryan! Ariya! Get out here! Elena's home."

A few moments later Elena's father, older brother and younger sister rushed out of the cabin and quickly embraced her. She noticed they hadn't aged a day since they died, but she wasn't complaining. She was just glad she got to see them again.

"Welcome home, Elena." her father said.

"You definitely got bigger pipsqueak," Ryan said. Elena noticed that she was a few inches taller than her older brother now.

"Yeah, growing up does that to you." Elena responded, "But you're the pipsqueak now since I'm taller than you now."

"What happened to your hair?" Ariya asked innocently.

"Well remember how dad used to tell us about the time he was saved by a Claymore and told us stories about them?" Elena asked.

Ariya nodded and wondered why her sister asked her that.

Elena got up and removed her claymore from the scabbard on her back. She lowered it so her little sister could see. "After you died, I became a Claymore," she explained as she let Ariya touch the emblem on her sword. "When I became a Claymore my hair lost its color and my eyes turned silver."

"That is so cool!" Ariya said with stars in her eyes. "Please tell us some stories of what it's like."

"Well okay," Elena said with a smile as she returned her claymore to its scabbard.

"Why don't we take it inside." Elena's mom suggested.

The whole family nodded and entered the cabin. The inside was just like Elena remembered. The old fireplace that warmed the cabin and cooked their food had an open fire going. The family living room also served as the dining room with a large dining table in the center of the room that her father built and carved himself. An old bookcase rested against the wall near the front door holding her mother's book collection. Her father's gittern was propped up in front of the bookshelf. The gittern brought back many happy memories of when her father would play it and her mother would sing along. Ariya sat down in her usual spot at the family table and patiently waited for the rest of her family to do the same.

"So where do I begin?" Elena asked as she sat down.

"What happened after the yoma attacked us?" Ryan asked.

"When the yoma attacked, I hid under the oak tree for two days before a claymore found me. She killed the yoma and asked me if there were any others. After that, a man in black took me to the Organization where they turned me into a Claymore. The process was the most painful thing I've ever experienced and the pain would last for quite some time." Elena flinched when she remembered the pain she went through as the Organization cut open her body when she was awake.

"That's when I met Clare. She told me a story about a Claymore that rescued her from a yoma and defended her from a group of bandits. Eventually, that Claymore adopted her, but they were on the run because the same group of bandits that attacked Clare were killed by that Claymore." she said sadly.

"For a while, they managed to avoid the Organization, but then the execution squad caught up to them and killed the Claymore. Clare was then taken in by the Organization and turned into a Claymore as well."

"I feel sorry for the girl." Elena's father said.

Elena nodded before continuing her story. "When we were transforming into Claymore's they put us into these cells together so that if anything bad happened we could be contained. Both me and Clare were in one of these cells for almost two years. At nights when the transformation was at its most painful, we would hold each other so that we could sleep."

"I take it you and Clare became close friends?" her mother asked.

"Yes, we were. After we became claymores and received some difficult training. Clare managed to finish hers before I did and became a full-fledged Claymore. After I received my sword and rank, I tried to help as many people as I could. Some people would not even talk to me or were scared of me. After a year of fighting, my powers took a toll on myself so much that I couldn't handle and I knew it was time for me to die. I sent the one person I could trust most the Black Card, which told the person to come and help lay me to rest."

"Who did you send it to?" Ariya asked.

"My only true friend, Clare. When we reunited, we met on mount Shire and Clare had this boy who was just as old as she was when I met her. I believe she was trying to do the same as the Claymore who took her in. after that, I asked her to lay me to rest and she never hesitated. After that, I ended up here." Elena said as she finished her story.

"Well, we are glad you managed to make a friend and you came to visit us." Ryan said before getting a glare from his mother.

"What do you mean, visit?" Elena asked worriedly. Were they going to kick her out or something?

"Well, umm…" before Ryan could answer, three loud knocks came from the front door.

"He is here." Elena's mother said in a calm and collective manner but it had an edge to it that everyone could feel.

"Who's here?" Elena asked as she reached for her claymore.

Her mother just smiled and walked towards the door. A moment later she let a man wearing the familiar purple and white robes of the holy priests of the city of Robona into the cabin. Elena had mixed feelings. She remembered how kind and compassionate the priests were when she was a little girl, but they had a strict rule about claymores.

The man raised his hand and spoke. "Be at ease Elena, I am here to bring good news."

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" she asked.

"My name is Robona, you may have heard of me when you were a little girl." Robona said with a smile.

Elena's eyes widened as she dropped to a knee. "I'm sorry Robona, I didn't recognize you."

"Rise Elena, as I have said I am here to deliver some good news." he looked directly into Elena's silver eyes. "Elena, you have been given a second chance at life and with a purpose. Though it is your choice to take this gift."

Elena was stunned, she didn't know what to say. A chance at a new life? What did I do to deserve this? What will happen if I take this gift? Elena asked herself before asking "Why?"

"I'll explain why I'm giving you this gift." Robona said trying to help clear her confusion. "You were never meant to go through those horrors as a claymore, but through those experiences, you learned to become a protector. Your time was taken from you before you were meant to as well. So I give this gift to all Claymore's who passed before their time."

A tear left Elena's eye. "What will happen if I take this gift?" She asked as she wiped a few more tears from her eyes.

"You will be sent to another world to protect others from a different threat than the yoma. They are creatures called Grimm, beasts made of darkness and yoki. You will not be alone though. You will be able to make friends who will help you in times of need. Unfortunately, you will still remain a Claymore even in this new life, but when you achieve a new power from this world you will never have to worry about becoming a monster ever again." Robona said with a smile before continuing.

"This power is known as Aura, it will protect and heal you in battle. It will also help you discover a second power known as Semblance. Each person's Semblance is different from each other's, very few people have the same Semblance, but everyone has an Aura."

"Is there anything else I need to know?" Elena asked meekly.

He nodded before continuing. "When you arrive, you will still have the stigma on your body, but once you unlock your Aura it will completely heal. Then there is your claymore. It will have the ability to pass through Aura without any resistance. Remember to only use it on those who deserve to be injured by the blade. There is one little request I will ask of you though." he said humbly.

"Request?"

"There is another Claymore in the world I would like to send you. There is a message I would like you to deliver to her." Robona said as he created a letter out of nothingness. "This Claymore now goes by the name Teresa Silver, but you may know her as Teresa of the faint smile."

Elena's eyes widened. If she were to take this gift she would meet the Claymore who adopted her friend Clare.

"If I take this gift, may I request one thing?" she asked.

Robona simply nodded.

"Can I have a few moments to say goodbye to my family?"

"Yes you can, as I have said the choice is yours." he responded.

"Then I accept," Elena said before she turned and hugged her little sister. "I'm sorry I can't stay, I made a promise to my friend and I plan to keep it." She turned to the rest of her family. "I'll see you all again sometime with more stories to tell you all," she said with a smile.

Her mother walked up and quickly gave her a hug as well. "I want to hear all about it when you get back," she said with a smile before it turned into a grin. "Especially my future grandchildren as well."

"MOM! Seriously!" Elena complained.

"Yes! I don't expect to see you back here until after you have a family of your own," she said with a laugh. "Although Elena, I do ask of one thing from you."

"Mom?"

"Don't forget to sing," she said with one final hug.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Elena said as she returned the hug. All of a sudden the rest of her family joined in the hug and said their own goodbyes. After a few minutes of hugs and tears, they all separated and Elena walked to the front door. Outside, Robona was waiting by the ancient oak tree.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

She looked back one last time and saw her entire family. It would be a long time before she would see them again. She turned back to Robona and nodded her head. "I am ready." she said.

Robona held up his hand and a golden portal began to swirl into existence. Once it finished forming, she could see a lush forest with red tree leaves and grass.

"Once you have contacted either Teresa or a man named Ozpin, they will help you out in this new world." he said as he handed her the letter to Teresa. "There are a few bits of information you should know."

Elena listened closely.

"There have been Yoma and Awakened Beings slipping through to this world by unknown means. Be aware of the Grimm for they will show no mercy. Be on your guard. All of those who have silver eyes, consider them your allies, for they are either Claymores themselves or the descendants of one." Robona warned.

"Thank you Robona for everything." Elena said with a smile as she drew her claymore and walked through the portal."

"One last thing." Robona noted, "Welcome to Remnant." After that, the portal closed.

"Mom? Will Elena be okay?" Ariya asked.

Her mother just smiled. "Elena's strong and she is going to get even stronger from here on out," she said confidently. "Who knows? She may become a hero someday."

[...]

Elena looked around and everything was completely new to her. The trees and grass had a deep shade of red to them that held its own unique beauty. There was a hint of a sweet smell in the air. She closed her eyes to try and find where the smell was coming from. That's when she detected the Grimm themselves. Like Robona had warned, yoki radiated off their bodies. The Grimm were close enough to be detected but far enough away not to pose a threat. For now. She reached out and touched a tree only to regret feeling the sticky sap on her hand. As she looked at the red sap the sweet smell hit her nose like a yoma. She took a good whiff of the sap and confirmed that the sap from the trees was what was giving off the smell.

Strange world. Elena thought to herself. She reviewed the tasks that were given to her. She was to find and deliver two messages to a former claymore and adoptive parent to her friend Clare, find a man named Ozpin to help get settled in this new world, and finally try and find a way to unlock a new power known as Aura. The only thing that was standing in her way of the goal was these creatures known as Grimm and the yoma and awakened beings that managed to arrive in this world as well. Sounds simple enough.

The sound of a battle, no, a spar or brawl perhaps, nearby caught Elena's ears. She noticed in a nearby clearing, with four young men no older than herself ganging up on a fifth.

"You know that wasn't very smart, Jaune-y boy." the more built of the four teens said to the fifth after punching him to the ground.

Elena noticed that the guy had the same sticky red sap splashed all over his chest. He must have spilled some of that sap for that to happen, she thought.

"I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny, tiny, pieces," the teen said as he picked up Jaune if she was to guess that was his name.

"I don't care what you do to me, but you are not messing with my team Cardin." Jaune said in defiance.

"What, you think big talk like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong man now?" Cardin said angrily, clearly about to give Jaune another beating.

Jaune simply smiled at him enraging Cardin. As Cardin struck Jaune in the face a bright light erupted from Jaune's body and he dropped Jaune and grasped his fist in pain. This surprised Elena. Is that Aura? She asked herself as she saw the bruises on Jaune's face disappear. One of the other teens kicked Jaune back down to the ground. At the same time, she sensed a large amount of yoki enter the area.

"Let's see how much of a man you really are." Cardin said just before a loud roar rolled over the clearing.

Two very large bears made of darkness and yoki entered the clearing. They were covered in white bone spikes and had a white bone mask with a red pattern on it. Their eyes glowed a deep fiery red. The four teens that were ganging up on Jaune seemed to cower in fear of the two creatures of Grimm. The two Grimm sniffed the air and focused on the sweet smell of the sap on Cardin's chest.

"That's a big Ursa!" one of Cardin's friends shouted as he and the other two ran away into the forest like cowards. One of the Ursa's swiped a paw at Cardin, knocking him down. The second began to focus in on Jaune.

"NOT HAPPENING!" Elena shouted as she rushed out of the forest. She leaped onto the back of the Ursa about to attack Jaune and stabbed through its body with her claymore. It roared in pain and tried to force her off its back.

The distraction gave enough time for Jaune to draw his sword and to Elena's surprise, the scabbard transformed into a shield. Jaune rushed the first Ursa and blocked a strike that was meant to kill the downed Cardin. For a few seconds, Jaune kept the Ursa back before getting the upper hand and forced it back before getting a clean blow with his sword to the Grimm's abdomen.

The Ursa Elena was fighting was surely giving her a hard time. It managed to throw her off and barely gave her a chance to dodge a swipe of its paws. She ducked under and second spaw swipe and managed to sever the Ursa's left arm. The Grimm roared in pain and tried to bring its other paw down on Elena, only for her to block and slice through the Ursa's wrist at the same time.

She knew she had to finish the Grimm as soon as possible or else she couldn't back up Jaune with the other one. Problem was that this Ursa was now using its body to prevent her from delivering a final blow to its head. She had faced a similar problem before when she fought her fourth yoma. Elena swung her claymore into the Ursa's left side in a down to up motion only for it to get stuck inside the lower abdomen of the Ursa. Without thinking, she activated ten percent of her Claymore power. Her eyes transformed from their normal silver to golden with the pupils becoming slits. She gained enough strength to continue slicing through the Ursa up and through its head, effectively killing the Grimm.

Elena turned to see Jaune raise his shield to block an attack from the Ursa. He managed to get in close to swing his sword and deliver a fatal blow by decapitating the Grimm. After the Grimm fell, Jaune turned and noticed Elena smiling at him, but he saw her eyes change from their cat-like golden to normal silver.

"You alright?" Elena asked as she returned her claymore to the scabbard on her back.

"Uh yeah," Jaune said nervously. "My name's Jaune, you?"

"Elena," she said with a comforting smile.

Jaune sheathed his sword and turned his attention to Cardin.

"Holy crap, Jaune?" Cardin said as he was helped back to his feet by both Elena and Jaune.

Jaune turned to glare at Cardin, "Don't ever mess with my team, my friends, ever again." Jaune warned. "Got it?"

"I saw you and your friends gang up on Jaune. From what I have seen, you four are nothing but cowards. You gang up on those you think are weaker than you only to run away in fear when a real threat or someone stronger than you appears." Elena said adding in her own two cents before tossing Cardin his mace. "I recommend changing your ways and you will gain some deep respect. Don't, and you will make many enemies fairly quickly."

Cardin just stood there in silence contemplating everything that happened.

"Umm, Elena? Do you know professor Silver?" Jaune asked. "Your armor and sword look alot like hers."

"Not directly, but I have been sent to deliver two messages to her and then meet with a man named Ozpin." Elena explained.

"And who sent me these messages?" a familiar voice asked.

Jaune and Elena turned to see an older Claymore and three young women, two were her own age and the last was a bit younger. What surprised her was the fact that the youngest had Silver eyes with Black hair that turned red at the tips.

Elena noticed Teresa's emblem and knew that this person was the one she was looking for. She reached for the hidden pocket in her uniform and pulled out Robona's letter.

"And the other message?" Teresa asked as she was handed the letter.

"The other one is a bit more personal." Elena respectfully responded, "Clare says hello."

Teresa's eyes widened a bit. "How do you know my daughter?" she asked.

"Clare was my only friend and she was the one who originally sent me here." Elena explained.

Teresa nodded fully knowing what she meant. "Elena is it? I will have to ask that you follow me. There is more I need to discuss with you and there is another who will need to speak with you as well." She faced the rest of the students. "Ruby, Jaune, will you two go find professor Goodwitch and tell her that it's time to leave. Pyrrha, Weiss, please go tell the rest of the students to pack up as well. Mister Winchester, after we all return to Beacon, you and your team are to report to professor Goodwitch for detention."

"Yes ma'am," they said. Cardin just sighed in defeat.

[...]

A few hours later, after much culture shock which Teresa tried to help Elena through and a new pair of clothes that Teresa bought, they both met with professor Ozpin and professor Goodwitch in Ozpin's office.

"So Miss Elena, let me get this straight. You reach the point where your powers were threatening to consume your humanity and soul, so you ask your one and only friend, who happens to be professor Silver's daughter, to kill you." Ozpin asked.

Elena nodded sadly.

"After that, you reunited with your dead family for a while until Robona personally visited you and offered you a choice to either stay with your deceased family or be given a second chance at life in exchange to deliver a message to Teresa. Then you were told to come to me for help finding a new life in this world, a sense of purpose? Am I wrong?" Ozpin continued.

"No, you got everything except one thing." Elena answered humbly.

"Oh? What is that?" Ozpin asked.

"I was told to find a way to unlock something called Aura so it could heal a stigma on my body." she explained.

Teresa visibly flinched at the mention of the stigma. "Why wasn't that healed when you arrived on Remnant." she exclaimed.

"Why? Is this stigma a problem?" Ozpin asked.

"Normally, the stigma never heals, and the Organization used certain crude measures so that we would not die from it." Teresa explained.

"How can it be that bad, and what sort of crude measures were used?" professor Goodwitch asked.

Elena removed the collar around her neck that held her emblem to show where part of the stigma started and then lifted part of her shirt only to show her stomach. The stigma looked like a deep unhealing cut that was crudely sewn up. Both professors looked at the stigma in horror.

"Why would anyone do such a thing!?" Glynda asked in shock.

"It's the method of how we Claymore's are created." Teresa calmly answered. "But once the transformation starts, the wound would never heal. So this is the method the Organization used to keep us alive. If what Robona said is true, then unlocking your Aura should heal the stigma completely."

"Then why was yours healed when you arrived on Remnant?" Elena asked.

"This letter from Robona may explain that." she said as she held up the letter.

"May I see this letter?" Ozpin said as he quickly typed something on his desk. Teresa handed Ozpin the letter which he set on his desk for it to scan. A few seconds later a copy of the letter was projected above the desk.

Hello Teresa,

This letter brings both wonderful and terrible news. Your daughter has become a Claymore, but I know that you already know this. Following your example, Clare has taken in a young boy who lost everything to a yoma disguised as his older brother. She is to face her own trials soon and has been selected to take out a yoma that has been plaguing my city. While she is there, I will watch over her and the young boy.

There is also trouble stirring in the frozen north of Alphonse. When it's at its peak, I will be able to bring Clare and a few others to Remnant alive. This should happen just before the Vytal festival tournament.

Teresa, I must ask another favor from you. Will you take Elena here and adopt her under your new family name? She will need help learning many things and I can see you being one of the best role model for her.

You have done wonderful work with your task, and I ask that you keep up the good work. Before Clare arrives on Remnant there will be another you will need to prepare for who will change your life for the better. Look forward to meeting him.

If you were wondering why your stigma was healed is because of how difficult it is to treat the wound without the help of another Claymore when the treatment gets damaged.

Ozpin, I know you are reading this letter as well. So I will say hello and thank you for hiring Teresa as a new professor. I have a favor to ask of you as well. Will you enroll Elena into your academy and train her to be a huntress? She already has experience fighting the monsters of her world and fighting the Grimm would come naturally to her.

Finally, as a warning, former deceased Awakened Beings and living yoma have been brought to Remnant by unknown means. Stay on your guard all of you.

Sincerely,

Robona.

"Well, that last part is very concerning indeed." Ozpin deadpanned "But his request for me is a reasonable one. Elena, you are seventeen, correct?"

"Yes, sir."

"Very well, you may that here at Beacon until your official initiation. If you fail there is nothing I can do. But if you pass you will be put on a team of your own that you will spend the next four years with." Ozpin explained.

"Elena? Are you okay with Robona's request for you to become my second daughter?" Teresa asked.

Elena was surprised that Teresa didn't give the request a second thought. "I… uh… I'm okay with it." she said.

"Well then, it's official. Congratulations miss Silver." Ozpin said with a smile.

"I'm more worried about the trouble that's happening in this land called Alphonse." professor Goodwitch said. "Professor Silver, what's the worst possible scenario that could happen?"

"An army of Awakened Beings gather and attack in mass under the leadership of a very powerful Awakened that has claimed the title of Abyssal. If this is happening in the north then there is only one who can do such a thing. Isley, the silver king of the north." Teresa explained "To combat this sort of problem, the Organization would send nearly half of all their Claymores to face this threat. Even if it is only to delay this army." She paused and had a moment of deep thought.

"Something on your mind professor Silver?" Ozpin asked.

"If something like this were to happen, it should give Robona a chance to rescue a large amount of Claymore's from the Organization without them knowing, due to the fact that their watchers will be nowhere close to where the battle takes place."

"How many do you think will arrive on Remnant when this happens?" Ozpin asked with ever-growing curiosity.

"Twenty to twenty-four at most."

Professor Goodwitch's eyes widened when a thought entered her mind. "Ozpin, you don't think this could be the sign of the first part of the legend coming true?" she asked.

"I do." he said concerned.

"Legend?" both Teresa and Elena asked.

"A long time ago there was this famous Faunus known as the Dragon Faunus. Those that become the Dragon Faunus were known to be protectors of all. But what made her special was her semblance." Ozpin explained "her semblance was known as precognition, which allowed her to see future events. On her deathbed she told of a prophecy when the next Dragon Faunus would arise. Eventually that prophecy faded into legend, but due to recent events, we think that the legend may come true."

"And what does it have to do with us?" Teresa curiously asked.

"The first part of the legend mentions warriors of silver. If we are right about this, then this part refers to both of you and your fellow Claymore's." Glynda explained in a serious tone.

"This may help with our first problem as well." Ozpin added "Robona's mention of yoma and former deceased Awakens arriving on Remnant is concerning. But with more of your fellow Claymore's here, we can be able to keep an eye out for them in a sense."

"First?" Elena asked a bit worried.

"The only other problem in front of us at the moment is your stigma." professor Goodwitch responded, "It may be true that a newly unlocked Aura will heal it, but we are not going to risk unlocking it without some proper medical staff on hand if something should go wrong."

"The daughter of a famous doctor is to arrive here in Vale in the next few days. Her semblance is sure to help if anything goes wrong." Ozpin added. "Miss Silver, are you willing to wait a few days before we proceed?"

"I've had it for half my life. I don't think a few more days can hurt." Elena said with a smile.

"Very well then." Ozpin said as he picked up his scroll and called one of his students. "Hello, Miss Rose? Can you and your team please come to my office? Thank you."

A few minutes later, Team RWBY walked into Ozpin's office. "How can we help, Headmaster?" Ruby asked.

"Thank you for coming. Elena here is new to Beacon and she will be staying until her initiation. I would like you four to show her around Beacon and Vale for a few days." Ozpin said with a smile.

"Sure thing," Ruby said joyfully. "Hi, my name is Ruby Rose!"

"Hello, I'm Elena Silver." Elena greeted the team.

"Wait? Silver?" Weiss asked.

"As of twenty minutes ago." Teresa added with a slight chuckle.

"That's awesome. Name's Yang Xiao Long, I'm Ruby's older sister." Yang greeted.

"Weiss Schnee." Weiss said introducing herself.

Yang bumped her elbow into Blake's side, knocking her out of deep thought. "Oh umm, I'm Blake Belladonna." she said a bit nervously.

"Miss Silver, before Team RWBY here shows you around Beacon academy, please take this." Ozpin said as he held up a brand new scroll. "You can use this to get into your new dorm and it can do many other things."

"Thank you," Elena said as she took the scroll.

"You're welcome. Your new room should be 315." Ozpin added.

"Well, that's going to be easy to find." Yang said jokingly.

"Why is that?" Elena asked.

"It's two rooms over from ours." Weiss affirmed.

A loud rumbling sound interrupted any further conversation and Elena grabbed her stomach in embarrassment.

"Well it is dinner time, let's go get some food." Yang suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Elena said with a smile.

"To the cafeteria!" Ruby shouted joyfully.

"Miss Silver, one last thing." Ozpin said with a smile. "Welcome to Beacon."

A/N: Well lots of things happened recently again.

First off, on runescape after working hard for over 12 years, I finally got the max cape which is where you get all skills to level 99. Kinda tricky if you don't know what you are doing. Threw a little party to celebrate. Because I have finished that goal I now have more time to write.

Second off, the ARK Halloween event and charity stream. Halloween stuff was fun and got to raise quite a few boss fighting rexs but during that charity stream. OMG the big reveals for the Genesis update. Now I have an ending I for this Ark/RWBY crossover storyline I have planned. Those space whales (the Atrocetus) are just awesome and that new upcoming underwater boss as well. I'm so excited.

Third, I have commissioned some artwork for this story and I'm pleased to tell you that soon the Jaeger Diamond Banshee will soon be here. I have personally seen the rough sketch and the artist really outdid themselves. More planned artwork to come.

Finally some bad news, a few days ago my Grandpa was told he will be needing surgery and will have to take six weeks off work afterward. Please keep him in your prayers.

B/N: Well, this is new for me. Pokeman1280 here. It's nice to have a change of pace here and it's nice to help someone else get better with their own writing.

Alt B/N: Rocketmce coming in for a bunch of grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure edits. I've seen the Diamond Banshee rough sketch and… boy, I never thought I'd see the day when someone did an art-piece of that. I remember someone doing a picture of team SPHR, which was amazing (InsertSomthinAwsome on DeviantArt if you're curious) but I'm glad to see it get a full art piece. Might even go back and do a redux of the story at some point, who knows.
