*Professor Ozpin POV*

~Earlier that Day~

He's here. I can feel his power just from standing in my office, it is truly amazing how just one man could harbor so much power. My curiosity made me want to study the man but there was something that told me that he had already gone through something like that and that it hadn't ended well for those studying him. It's probably better to just watch from a distance and gather as much information as possible from just observing him until I have enough information.

Today was the day too where he was going to begin his training with Jaune. To say that I felt uneasy at this would be a mere understatement as a feeling of growing dread quickly enraptured me at this realization. Something was definitely going to go wrong today, it might be good to call in some people just in case things got really out of hand. You can never be too careful especially considering who exactly my students were and who their parents were.

Now, to decide who to call. Glynda will be there either way teaching the class and James is too far away for him to help. The parents of the children might do, but I don't think they'll be here in time. Maybe I could give them an incentive to get here early. Yeah, I can do that.

I then proceed to call Taiyang (father to Miss Rose and Miss Xiao Long), there's just the ringing of the scroll for several seconds until he answers.

"Hello, Ozpin? What's going on," he says.

"You're daughters are in a predicament with a boy, you…hello?" he had already hung up and was most definitely rushing here. He was always a tiger for his little ones, especially after both Raven and Summer left him.

Next up was the Nikos family. Again it took only several seconds before they answered the call.

"What is it Ozpin?" Mrs. Nikos asked, cold as usual.

"Your daughter is severely injured and she isn't coping well. You'll need to come and get her," I say and she hangs up immediately without a word. She'll be here with three hours.

Next was the Lie and Valkyrie family. They were currently living together so it should be easy.

"What's going on Ozpin, everything A-O-Kay?" asked Mr. Valkyrie who happened to answer the phone this time.

"Ren finally did it, for real this time. I'll need your help in containing your daughter," that was all I needed to say before he hung up the phone. Him along with his wife and the Mister Lie's mother and father will be her within the next couple of hours. The reason for this being is that everyone knew that Nora loved Ren but very few knew that Ren felt the same way and the last time this happened where she thought he finally confessed she destroyed half a forest in excitement, she was 12 at the time.

Mrs. Belladonna doesn't have a family unfortunately so next up was the Arc family.

"Ozpin! It's been forever! What is it?" Jonah Arc said through the scroll, he was always a happy person except when it came to people messing with his children. Madelyn, his wife was the same way so it shouldn't be that hard to get them here.

"Something is going to happen to your boy. I'm not sure if it will be good or bad but the way it will happen will not be peaceful. That is all I can tell you," I say to him through the scroll and there's silence for a couple of seconds.

"Okay, I'll be there soon," he said calmly and if you didn't know him you would've thought he was actually calm but I knew that he was already preparing to fight.

Now finally the Schnee family. The father will be quite easy to get here.

"The hell do you want four eyes," came the voice of Mr. Schnee through the scroll.

"You want payback?" I ask him.

"More than anything," he says back.

"Then come to Beacon. We'll fight in the combat room at 2 today," I say and there's silence on the other line. He had already hung up and was preparing to come over here.

That should do. They'll all get here about the same time, around 1:30. Let the games begin.

~Five minutes before Mr. Ceribri shows up~

"Why are we all here?! And why did you lie to all of us," Taiyang yelled in my office.

He was the most vocal out of everyone there as most of them say for Taiyang, Mr. Schnee and the Valkyrie's realized that he wouldn't call them here for just a joke and that something might actually happen.

"I would like to know the very same thing Ozpin?! I was supposed to have an important meeting today and the only reason I came was to wipe the floor with that grey mop of yours," Mr. Schnee say's disdainfully.

"I too would like to know? I don't understand why you would call us out here if it wasn't beyond important but I don't see anything that would need us," Mrs. Valkyrie said looking at me.

This statement caused an uproar among everyone there. There was no slowing down for them as they all began to yell at each other. I didn't say anything as they continued to both rant and argue amongst themselves, the whole while I just watching the commotion sipping my coffee. After a minute or two of this it finally became too noisy for me and I did something I rarely ever did. I yelled at them to quit down and they did almost immediately.

"If you would like to know what exactly is going on then you will all need to be quite and listen," I say after yelling at them. They continued to be silent and I then continued.

"You all know how to meditate and some of you will not have to for this," I say pausing for a couple of seconds before continuing. "I know you can all feel it, the power washing over you know is one from a single solitary man who has the power to destroy us. Now I do not believe that he is bad man but he has chosen to train Mister Arc, your son: Jonah, Madelyn. His intentions are true in that area but I believe that he will harm your children in order to reach his goal. I only ask that you watch over them for the time being," I say and there's collective nodding all around.

That's when there was a giant explosion coming from the combat hall. They'll knew it was the man and they rushed off to help their children.

~Current time~

*Jaune POV*

"Choose who will live and who will die," the man says again for almost the fifth time but my brain just wouldn't work until the man or woman with the sword at my throat smacked me upside the head.

"You need to choose or he'll just kill them both. Don't let him decide for you," they say and this time I can make out from the voice that it was probably a woman in her forties.

I couldn't choose between the two. They were both my friends and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I chose one of them to die instead of the other. This was just too much for me, someone help me. God? Anyone? Someone just help me, I don't want this.

Out of some miracle unlike any I've ever seen before my prayers were answered by whatever gods there were and all of our parents came rushing through the door and surrounded the man. I could've touched the killing intent that they all had around them after seeing what had happened, especially from the giant blonde man who I could only assume was Mr. Xiao Long. He was glowing bright yellow and it the power coming off him was beyond scary.

That being said every other parent had a similar aura about them as they stood surrounding the man with faces of stone and their weapons drawn. Gauntlets for Mr. Xiao Long, dual wielded .44's from Mr. Schnee (I assumed), a Katana for both of Ren's parents, heavy machine guns that looked like they could change to hammer's for Mr. and Mrs. Valkyrie, A spear almost identical to Pyrrha's for her mother and a giant broadsword for Mr. Nikos, sword and shield for my father and two short swords that changed into pistols for my mom.

Still though in the face of all of this the man looked completely undisturbed. He calmly released the two girls from his grip, stood up and beckoned for the woman who had been holding her sword at my neck to come to him.

She was there before he finished his gesture but there was no wind or explosion like when the man did it. She then grabbed the two girls at his feet and teleported back to where I was putting the two girls on either side of me in the bleachers.

They then began to talk and it was just loud enough for me to hear.

"Leave or you will end up worse than you're children," he says. This was answered rather unpleasantly by Yang's father who shot straight at the man at a speed that shouldn't have been possible for a human. However, the man raised his hand quicker than Yang's father moved and grabbed him by the throat completely stopping him in his tracks. The man then raised him off his feet and tossed him into the wall at a speed that caused me to go deaf for a couple of seconds from the shock wave.

Looking at the remaining adults they were obviously shaken after seeing what the man had done so effortlessly to the person who was undoubtedly the most powered up at that moment. However, they stood their ground for preparing for an upcoming fight that they were going to lose but they stood their ground for their children. For me and the rest of us.

Mr. Xiao Long then entered the room through the whole that was created when he was thrown into the wall. He was completely covered in blood and actually looked like a red painted still-life character. The vigor he had before had only increased now and the intent to kill the man in front of him was all the more amplified by his semblance that was now causing him to spark. He didn't attack though as he only walked back to where he had been previously standing and took up a fighting stance there waiting for the others to attack.

The moment Mr. Xiao Long was in his stance Mr. Schnee started to fire round after round at the man. To my despair the bullets bounced off the man harmlessly but Mr. Schnee apparently had a plan as when the bullets made contact smoke came out and after only three shots the man was covered in smoke from his waist up.

Mr. Nikos took advantage of this and charged along with, Mr. Xiao Long, Mr. and Mrs. Valkyrie (whose weapons did turn into hammers) and Mr. Lie.

All of them had direct hits on the upper torso of the man inside of the smoke. There was no way that he could still be alive after that, nothing should be able to survive that but my worst fears came to pass when the smoke cleared from the man's upper body.

When the smoke cleared it revealed the man only smiling with not even a scratch on his scales. He looked as happy as could be and as if being smashed by the greatest hunters of their generation was no big deal.

All of the parents then stiffened in response to what had just happened. It was at this moment that the realization that this fight wasn't winnable truly dawned on me. We were going to die by the hands of this man and we never even had a chance to begin with and this man was toying with us. And the parents seemed to understand this but they still refused to back down.

Mrs. Nikos was the next to attack but before she could even put her foot down to move forward she was sent flying upwards and through the roof at a velocity equal to the other attacks. There was no doubt in my mind that the man had done this as the tell-tale shockwaves and the wind that followed.

Not leaving his wife out to dry Mr. Nikos shot forward and he was instantly sent straight into the ground face first with his feet upwards. This was again followed by the shockwaves and the wind but this time it sent some of the parents backwards.

"Do you really intend to continue this? I understand your need to protect your children but you're going too far. Two of your friends are already incapacitated and the rest of you will be to within the next minute if you continue," he says and as he finishes Mrs. Nikos comes flying back down and slams into the ground unconscious, breaking the cement floor.

"We have everything to lose so why wouldn't we fight," my father said looking to take action for the first time in this fight. The man returned the statement with a sigh and replied.

"Well, I think we've had enough of testing each other. Let's begin the actual fight," the man says getting into a stance that looked like one a boxer would take in a ring but it was slightly modified.

"I couldn't agree more," Mr. Xiao Long said with a toothy grin. His hair then began burning yellow and his whole body sparked the same color.

He wasn't the only one though as the rest of the parents began to glow and spark as they were fully preparing for the fight, only my father wasn't powering up like the rest of them. He was strangely calm, that meant that he was devising a plan in his head to win and knowing him he might just be able to pull it off against this man. My dad would do anything to win.

It took only thirty seconds for all of the parents to be fully amped up on power before they began channeling their auras in to their weapons making them also glow the owners respective colors, again only my father didn't do this. It was starting to bother me why he wasn't doing anything but I decided to trust him on this. He wouldn't just sit idly by.

As the parents swords increased in brightness from their auras the weapons also began to emit an aura of their own and not the one supplied to them from their owners. This was an ancient technique that was used in weapons but I thought that it was extinct, apparently it wasn't though but that was a damn good thing now.

At what seemed to be the height of their weapons powers all of the parents attacked except for my father. Either way that didn't bother me as I was too absorbed in the parents fight with the man.

It was absolutely stunning to watch our parents fight. The coordination, skill and amount of power they all possessed was amazing as they all fought the man on equal footing attacking him from every direction creating explosion after explosion within the five foot radius around where the man had been standing and where they were fighting.

The Valkyrie's using their hammers to create powerful blows to the man's side, back and chest created openings all around the body that were exploited by my mother with her short swords and Mr. Schnee who shot at and hit every opening that was presented. Even so, all of my mother's slashes and Mr. Schnee's shots left only mere scratches at most on the man's scales.

However, that wasn't their only fight plan as Yang's Father along with Ren's parents attacked in tandem. Yang's father would attack him straight up forcing the man to block and defend with his arms creating even more openings for not only Ren's parents but also the other parents who always took advantage of this. Unlike my mom, Mr. Schnee and Nora's parents though Ren's parents were much less focused on the main body of the man and mostly went for the ligaments all around the man's body. Their swords never penetrated the scales but it was obvious that they were effecting the man's ability to fight as he was starting to stumble from the attacks on his leg ligaments.

The parents then had one final real push against the man.

First Nora's parents jumped back changing their weapons into their heavy machine gun modes and started blasting away at the man. They were quickly joined by Mr. Schnee who along with the Valkyrie's put all of their aura into the bullets giving them more power. Taking advantage of this Yang's father began trying to smash the man's legs and head in. He wasn't the only one as all of the others attacked every single little spot on the man.

This onslaught of pure power lasted three minutes and in this time the rest of the kids, including Pyrrha and Yang, started to stir and watch the fight between the man and their parents. They knew not to interfere in the fight as they would just get caught in the crossfire and make it more difficult for their parents to fight the man.

Once it all ended though and our parents jumped backwards away from the man he stood tall as if he was an unmovable mountain completely unscathed from our parents onslaught that even the king of the Grimm's would have no chance at surviving from.

"My turn," the man then said loud enough for everyone in the building to hear. This filled both my heart and soul but nothing but pure and absolute dread. Only our deaths could come from this.

The man then disappeared and reappeared in front of the parents excluding my father who was over ten feet from them.

I didn't even see the attacks the man did but I could sure as hell feel them as the blasts of power and the shockwaves hit me like a tsunami would hit a city, completely flattening me against the floor. Although the power from this was unlike anything I'd ever felt, even from our parents just now, it was gone as soon as it had arrived. However, when I was actually able to sit myself up from the absolute blast of power from the man all our parents, say for my father, were all gone and had exited through the walls. This fact was made rather evident by the seven new holes in the building.

Although they had been thrown out of the building like ragdolls they were all reasonably close to us, the farthest being three miles away in the Emerald Forest, and they were already on their way back.

The man stood right where he had been the entire fight too looking completely undisturbed by what was happening and had just happened. That is until he saw my father still standing there.

"You might've made a difference. I can see how much power you have and it dwarfed the others amount. Why didn't you fight," he asked.

"Because I too can see how much power you have and I know that even if I did fight it wouldn't have made a difference," my father says turning to face the man straight up. "That is why I would like to challenge you to a duel. Only swords, no powers, just us," my father says continuing.

The man seemed to contemplate this before answering. "I would love to take you up on your offer but I, unfortunately, have never handled a sword in my life and that would make the fight unfair. You can, however, fight my friend over there. She has trained with swords her whole life, as I see you have too and she is almost as powerful as me. What do you say knight?" he says the last words making them sound like a complement, as they were.

My father turned around towards me to look at the woman that stood next to me. He then looked back at the man who was now sitting down cross legged and nodded.

The woman then disappeared from the bleachers and reappeared in front of my father with her sword raised, it was only at this time did I see that the woman's blade was a katana.

Their fight started in an instant with no picking of rules or anything. Just a fight until one of them gave up. By now too everyone was now awake and watching the fight.

The woman was the first one to make a move swinging her katana in a downward motion at my father who blocked and parried the strike with only his shield knocking away the woman's sword and ramming her with a shield charge. She was quickly dodged though and somehow made it out of that situation with almost no scratches.

Grabbing her sword that lay on the ground next to her she again charged him and began to attack in the same way. My father raised his shield to do the exact same thing as before but at the last moment she redirected her katana at an angle avoiding the shield and she then lunged forward towards my father who literally bent his back flat to the ground to avoid the sword. That wasn't the end of her attack though as just as quickly as she had lunged she changed her grip on the sword and plunged it towards my father's chest. Thankfully though he was able to react in just enough time to redirect her sword with his. The only drawback to that though was that it left his sword arm wide open for the woman who took advantage of the opportunity.

She slid her sword from where it was between my father's chest and his arm, as he was standing now, and put the blade of her sword on the inner most part of his arm. She then slid the sword back towards her cutting the inner part of my dad's arm. That wasn't the end though as she shot forward faster than any human should've been able to go without power, if I wasn't watching her power specifically I would've said that she was using power. However, as she shot forward the sword came with slicing my dad's arm and as the sword came off of his arm she shot her sword diagonally upwards slicing my dad's shoulder blade and in the same motion she sliced downwards at a diagonal only towards my dad's left shoulder blade. His arms then just dropped to his side, the fight was over.

"I give," he said as the woman held her sword to his neck.

The man got up from once the fight was over and motion for the woman to go back to where she had been.

"I commend you for trying. That was undeniably a fantastic effort but now I have to get back to the down and dirty so if you wouldn't mind," the man says to my father gesturing rather respectfully towards the bleachers. My father nodded and then left the man and went to the bleachers.

"Now, again. Choose who lives and who dies," he says and my father's head instantly snapped back at them man. His wounds were instantly healed by his aura and he attacked him. Only to be effortlessly countered and sent at lighting like speed through a wall and out of the building.

"Choose," the woman then said to me once my father was gone.

There was no way out of this, someone was going to die and that pained me uncontrollably but then an idea popped in my head. An idea that would've caused me to be ridiculed by the teacher if I said this for a question of choice. Everything could be lost with this or everything could be saved. Hopefully it was the latter.

"I've made my choice," I say going down to the arena and stood in front of the man preparing to make possibly the worst and final mistake of my life.

"Let's hear it then," he says to me.

"All of them. I choose all of them to live," I say hoping that he would either be okay with it or let me have another answer do to my stupidity.

The man looked at me with satisfaction as a smile swept across his face.

"Good answer," he says continuing to smile.

Relief and anger flushed over my body and I fell to the ground.

"That was it. All that and my answer was that damn simple," I say to him visibly angry.

"Yes. First lesson you'll learn from me is that there is always a way out," he says crouching down to be on eye level with me. I let that wash over me for a second before I realized that he said it like there will be more lessons.

"Wait? First lesson, like there will be more?" I say.

"Yes. I'll be training you in my free time from now on," he says with a smile. My only response to this was a dumbfounded look before he continued.

"And I already know what your first lesson will be," he says pausing waiting for me to ask what it was.

"What?" I say after getting the hint.

"Understanding the signals women give you and trust me when I say that you need a lot of help in that section," he says laughing before sitting back down on his butt.

~Two minutes before the fight in the women's locker room~
*Pyrrha POV*

I was ready to go with all my armor on and my spear and shield in hand ready to fight Yang. She was a good friend but I will not hesitate to crush her in this fight, especially if my suspicions about her were right. The room was silent now too as we both shut both of our lockers and proceeded to walk to the entrance of the arena but as we got to the doors Yang stopped me.

"I don't intend to roll over. He'll be mine," she said it shocked me that she was so forward with it but my suspicions were now confirmed.

"And neither do I," I respond to her. She could only smile and then walk through the doors and I quickly followed.

And that is all for today.
