Young Wolf of Remnant
Chapter 4
First Day of School
{~-~}

Ozpin stared at the boy in front of him. He stood their, arms crossed and his expression intense. The headmaster had to hide a smirk at the mystery that was Garnet Rose. Ozpin looked back to the scroll laying on his desk; the three symbols looked weathered but visible. He knew about them, of course. He met Garnet's gaze a second time. "The talk you want has to do with these symbols, am I correct?"

Garnet nodded, "Yeah, why are they there? In a place where they could be easily found?"

Ozpin had to keep himself from raising an eyebrow. It was apparent that the boy knew what the symbols were. He knew the hidden meaning behind them. But he wanted to keep it hidden, for whatever reason he had. Ozpin picked up the scroll and handed it back to Garnet, who took it and stashed it in his bag. "Yes, these symbols have been the cause of debate for quite some time. They appear to have always been on the ruins, but only on that one pillar. Nowhere else. Some believe that they were put there shortly after the temple became ruins. What is your opinion though, Mr. Rose?"

Garnet looked down in contemplation. His brow furrowed, and a frown spread across his lips. He looked back up to the headmaster. "No idea."

Ozpin narrowed his eyes at the blatant lie. Before he could say anything, a sigh reminded them of the third person in the room. Professor Goodwitch had a scowl on her face as she looked at Garnet. "Mr. Rose, they must mean something to you. Otherwise, you would have never come up here in the first place."

Garnet glared at the headmistress for a minute. "My secrets are my own. I have reasons for keeping them, just like the two of you."

Ozpin smirked while Glynda gaped. As the blonde professor gathered herself, Garnet continued. "Accepting not one, but two students early. It wasn't the only thing, but I could tell you were hiding some specific reason for scouting us as you did."

Glynda stared wide-eyed at the former Guardian after he said what he did. Ozpin only kept his smirk, as if he had just been told some good news. He steepled his hands in front of himself again. "So Qrow was right. You are more observant than most your age. Which leads one to wonder about one thing, how are you leagues above your peers in many regards?"

Ozpin caught a minor widening of Garnet's eyes after he said that. The only reaction one would have seen was the hooded boy lower his arms a minute later and begin to dig through his bag. When he pulled out a piece of paper, he spoke again. "Let's just say that the world is bigger than you know."

With that, he placed the paper face down on the headmaster's desk, turned, and entered the elevator to leave. He hesitated to push a button. He looked at the professors and said one final thing. "And the Grimm isn't the only form the Darkness takes."

When the elevator closed and began to descend, did the two adults look at the paper left on the desk. They stared at it for a few seconds before flipping it over. They were greeted with the sight of a being that was as horrific as it was unrecognizable to them. It had to horns jutting out of the side of its head, seemingly a helmet. It had three eyes on its face and wings on its back. Ancient armor covered its body, and it held a sword as old as the armor. The two felt a slight twinge of unease from the image as they unknowingly stared at a drawing of Oryx, the Taken King.

{~-~}

Garnet stared at the ceiling from his spot on his dorm's bed. The former Guardian realized that he was close to just telling the headmaster and his assistant everything about his past life, in fact, he may have said too much as it was. He had gone up there hoping to get answers involving the symbols for the different Guardian paths, but the two of them had both tried to get him to tell them his secrets instead. And with the way Remnant was as a whole, informing them would be disastrous. It would bring disaster to the four kingdoms and their people. 'If they are even on the same plane of existence,' Garnet thought as he sat up.

He had no proof that people from the Golden Age were even the ancestors of the humans on Remnant. At the moment, he only had theories to work off. And he knew that just by thinking he wasn't going to get far, he was a Hunter, not a Warlock. He belonged in the wilds, not cooped up in a library studying the mysteries of the universe. So, he could only work off what he knew. As little information as that was.

Garnet looked at a board he had set up in his dorm shortly after talking with Professors Ozpin and Goodwitch. On it was a multitude of drawings depicting several things from his time on Earth. His eyes drifted from drawing to drawing, bringing back memories that came from across the Sol system. Mars, Venus, Saturn, and Earth, he remembered everything about his time as a Guardian. His eyes settled on the drawings in the center. Two depicting his fireteam, Fireteam Zulu, and Clip, his Ghost. Garnet placed a hand next to the pictures, as memories, both good and bad, flooded his mind. Admittedly, he had an anti-social personality both in the Sol system and on Remnant. Keeping to himself and only talking when spoken to was the most prominent issue, and possibly the only issue, Garnet had. He had few friends, then and now, that could have actual conversations with him.

The former Guardian opened his eyes and stared at the drawings one last time before heading to bed. The coming day was likely to hold surprises for everyone.

{~-~}

Weiss sat down next to her team in the lecture hall for Grimm Studies, Ruby's brother, Garnet, had thankfully gotten their attention so they could have five minutes before the class started. The heiress looked at her 'leader', who was chattering away next to her brother. Both Rose twins had their cloaks on over their Beacon uniform, with Garnet keeping his hood up. Weiss watched as Garnet sat with his eyes staring at the boards below them while his twin practically talked his ear off. The heiress saw the two as opposites, her partner she saw as nothing but a child who still hadn't realized where she was, and she saw the other twin as the more held back of the two. He never really talked to others unless they spoke to him.

Weiss's thoughts began to drift to the conversation she had with Ruby during the initiation in the Emerald Forest. The discussion had confused and intrigued her. How could someone so young be such an impressive prospective Hunstman? He had shown the skill and knowledge that she thought was needed to get into an academy like this one.

"Monsters!" The loud voice of the professor interrupted Weiss's thoughts and woke her partner who had somehow fallen asleep. "Demons~, prowler of the night! Yes, the Creatures of Grimm have many names, but I like to simply call them prey! Haha!"

The professor's attempt at a joke only got praise from one person while everyone else just stared at him.

"Uh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy!" Out the corner of her eye, Weiss saw Garnet sit straighter while his sister grabbed a notebook. "Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces!"

As the professor began to go into a story of his past, Weiss began to find her attention split between three people. The first, and most important at the moment, was the portly professor speaking at the bottom of the room. The second was Garnet, the boy that the heiress found to be an enigma. The third, and most annoying, was her partner, who had been paying little attention the whole class. The red-cloaked girl would be drawing, playing with her books, or sleeping for short periods of time. The inattention shown by Weiss's partner grew so distracting that her attention was drawn toward Ruby.

"In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity, and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" The professor bowed after finishing his story which went unseen by Weiss, who had started to glare at Ruby. "The moral of the story? A true Huntsman must be honorable. A true Hunstman must be dependable. A true Huntsman must be strategic, well educated, and wise."

Weiss was shaking in anger due to Ruby's antics that had continued through even the professor's synopsis. She had reached her boiling point and near ready to snap and did so when the Grimm Studies professor spoke next.

"So, who here believes themselves to be the embodiment of these Traits?"

The response was instant as Weiss shot out of her seat and responded first. As she left to collect her weapons for the teacher's test, she caught Garnet watching her with a blank stare. Misunderstanding it as a dismissal of her abilities, Weiss's anger grew, and she stomped out.

{~-~}

The only sound in the class was the Grimm trying to escape from its cage. Weiss stood across from it in a battle stance. The former Guardian stared on impassively, too annoyed at the heiress's actions to care about the outcome. The teachings of both Lord Shaxx and Lord Saladin that had been pounded into his head smoldered at Weiss's arrogance towards Ruby. Sure, he felt his emotions rage at the girl for that, but his twenty years as an actual mature adult held a tight leash on them. If this test goes well, he'll ignore it for now. However, if it doesn't, he'll intervene.

"Go~, Weiss!" Yang shouted.

"Fight well!" Blake said as she waved a flag with her team's name on it that she got from somewhere...

Ruby stood up and shouted, "Yeah! Represent Team RWBY!"

Weiss turned toward the red-cloaked girl with a look of irritation. "Ruby! I'm trying to focus!"

The former Guardian watched as Ruby shrunk in on herself and apologized to the heiress. Garnet turned his eyes back to the bottom of the room as the professor moved to stand beside the caged Grimm. Garnet thumbed the knife sheathed on the back of his belt, curious on how this was going to play out.

"Alright!" the portly professor announced, "Let the match... begin!"

When he swung a blunderbuss ax hybrid down on the lock, the cages metal door burst open causing Weiss to jump out of the way. When the Grimm stopped, everyone saw what type it was. A boarbatusk, a boar-like creature covered in thick bone armor with two massive tusks jutting out from its mouth. It turned back toward Weiss and attempted to tackle in a charge again, only for the heiress to jump to the side and slash at it. Hearing the professor's jovial comment on her attempt, as well as Ruby shouting encouragement, the white themed fencer charged toward and tried to stab its head. On the moment of impact, the Grimm shifted its head causing Weiss's rapier to slide and get locked on the massive tusks.

"Bold, new approach. I like it!" the professor shouted out as Weiss struggled to get her weapon untangled from the boar's tusks.

"Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!" Weiss glared at her partner, and the Grimm took advantage of her momentary distraction, flinging her sword to the other side of the room. As Weiss fell back, the Boarbatusk curled into a ball and performed a spin dash aimed at the young heiress. Weiss rolled out of the way and ran toward her weapon as the Grimm crashed into the wall.

Ruby, noticing the soft underbelly of the boar-like Grimm as it tried to re-orient itself, and called out, "Weiss, go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-"

"Stop telling me what to do!"

The Grimm squealed in pain, and everyone looked at it. Underneath the Boarbatusk's neck, a knife was buried up to its hilt, ending the Creature of Darkness. Weiss jumped as Garnet walked past her, having no idea of him moving until then. The former Guardian reached down and ripped the knife out of the disintegrating corpse. As he sheathed his blade, he turned to walk back to his seat, saying his piece to Weiss as he passed. "Never let yourself get distracted in front of an enemy."

The professor cleared his throat and said,"Well, that was marvelous work from the both of you. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!"

Weiss glared at the Rose twins before practically stomping her way out the lecture hall. As everyone watched her go, Jaune was the only one to say his thoughts. "Sheesh, what's with her?"

'Ego,' Garnet thought as he stood and walked out after his twin, who ran after her partner.

{~-~}

As Garnet wandered around at the end of the day, looking for both Weiss and Ruby, he saw the Grimm Studies professor gazing toward the horizon. He walked up and leaned on the railing next to him. "Lien for your thoughts?"

The professor chuckled and turned to face his student. "Ah, just remembering my glory days. If you want I could tell you the story of when I tied a King Taijitu into a knot."

The former Guardian laughed and stood up straight. "If there were more teachers like you, the younger generations will have plenty of inspiration. Besides, stories are the best medium for lessons. Wouldn't you agree, Professor Port?"

The portly professor gave a hearty laugh in response and slapped his student on the back. "Yes, I would have to agree with that. Though, I am curious. Did you really kill that Boarbatusk because Ms. Schnee turned her back to it, or is there another reason?"

Garnet half turned his head towards Professor Port and answered. "Did she really deserve the kill with how she was acting toward her partner?"

They both turned back to gaze at the horizon as the professor hummed and stroked his mustache. Garnet's thoughts went back to the patrols he went on and when he had to assist other fire teams on occasions. Like all experienced warriors, the former Guardian understood that you had to sometimes work with others. And on occasion, someone you didn't necessarily like. "Teamwork is important. Isn't that why students are put into teams at the beginning of the year?"

"Yes, it is," the professor said. "Unfortunately there are those that do not understand that right away. Ms. Schnee for example."

Garnet looked down and sighed. "Yeah, you're right. I've just always prioritized teamwork as a fundamental for survival, and unfortunately get upset when others don't."

The Grimm studies professor nodded to Garnet's words. While slightly surprised at the boy's insight, he understood where he was coming from. Before he could say something else, someone else made their presence known.

"Professor Port!" Weiss said excitedly and glared at the cloaked boy when she noticed him looking at her from over his shoulder, "You."

"Ah! Ms. Schnee, how can I be of help to you this fine evening?" the professor asked.

Weiss glanced at Garnet, who was staring out at the horizon again, before speaking. "I... I enjoyed your lecture!"

The portly professor smiled at her. "Of course you did child; you have the spirit of a true Huntress inside of you."

Weiss beamed at his word's. "You really think so?"

"Of course I do!" Weiss looked to the side slightly, and her smile faltered. "Hmm... something's troubling you."

Weiss looked down when he said that and responded with a less enthusiastic voice. "Yes, sir..."

The professor placed a hand on his back and stood straighter. "Dear girl, confess to me your strife!"

"Well..." The heiress looked around for a second. "I-I think I should have been in charge of Team RWBY!"

In the next instant, Weiss found herself being dragged off by the collar of her bolero. She looked over her shoulder to see a white cloak floating in front of her vision. "Had a nice talk Prof., but I've gotta deal with this. Until next time!"

Professor Port stared on in confusion as Garnet dragged a struggling Weiss off into the academy. In the suddenness of what happened, he could only awkwardly wave at the two as they disappeared around the corner.

{~-~}

Ruby watched as Professor Ozpin walked down the hallway after consoling her for her partner's words. She smiled at the hope that the headmaster's advice and explanation gave her toward a future friendship with the white-haired heiress. The red-cloaked girl turned to head back to her dorm and begin studying, but was interrupted by the sound of Weiss yelling at someone. She turned toward the direction of her partner's struggles to see her twin walking around the corner, dragging Weiss by the back of her jacket.

As they drew closer, Ruby became nervous when she saw the smile that was on Garnet's face. She raised her hand and was about to say something when he interrupted her. "Nope, you're not in the clear either."

Ruby's hand stayed raised as she gained a horrified expression on her face as he grabbed her by the hood of the cloak and began to drag her as well. Weiss glanced at her partner and momentarily ceased her struggling when she saw how worried Ruby had become at her brother's behavior. The white-themed girl looked at Garnet again as he continued to drag the two of them deeper into the academy. He only let them go when he made it to the combat arena, and when he let go, they both fell to the ground upon being released.

Weiss quickly stood and dusted herself off as she yelled, "What do you think you're doing!?"

Garnet cocked his head toward her as his twin brushed herself off. "Helping you two out. You both have your problems in this partnership you've been assigned to, so I'm going to help you get over them."

"I have problems?" Weiss said as she took a step closer to the former Guardian, "The only ones that have problems would be the two of you. Your sister is childish and too irresponsible for her position in the team, and you are impulsive to the point you'll drag people through a building to prove an idiotic point that you have stuck in your head."

Ruby began to nervously fidget as the two white garbed students stared the other down. The silence persisted until Garnet scoffed and smirked at the heiress. He took a few steps back from the two partners and held his arms out to the side and said, "If you think you're the better leader than prove it. Beat me, and show the both of us that you're more suited to lead the team you're on."

Weiss's eyes widened at the former Guardian's words. She narrowed her eyes and summoned a glyph behind her and crouched down slightly before she went flying toward the white-cloaked boy at neck speed. The heiress smirked as he hadn't made a single move to stop her approach, as she was sure of her victory. The moment her hand got a few inches from her opponent, Garnet had grabbed her wrist and redirected her momentum to send her flying back where she started. Summoning a glyph to stop herself, she looked back at the white-cloaked boy. Her eyes widened as a chill went down her spine. The former Guardian's face was blank, an almost dead look if not for the slightly narrowed eyes. She shakily stood back up and began to think on what her next move would be. Weiss was so focused that she jumped when a hand touched her shoulder. She looked to her side and saw her partner standing there with worry about her expression.

"You don't have to fight him, Weiss," Ruby said as she let her hand drop to her side, "He's only trying to get you upset. He's done it to Yang and me before when we trained."

Weiss looked back at him, his expression holding a smirk again as watched the two of them. She looked down in thought, his actions confusing her as she tried to figure him out. Meeting his gaze yet again, she took a breath. "Why?"

Garnet raised an eyebrow at her question. "Why did I antagonize you? Simple, to show you your arrogance," The former Guardian began to walk toward them as he continued. "You were so upset about not getting your way that you forgot the most important thing about being in a team."

He stopped in front of the two of them put a hand on both of their shoulders. "It doesn't matter who's in charge, all that matters is if you can work together. That's all you should be focused on." He walked towards the door to the room, leaving them with one final piece of information, "Besides, whoever's in charge has to explain any messes that the team makes."

Garnet closed the door to the combat arena, leaving his twin and her partner to sort the rest out. He let out a sigh as he walked off, once again remembering the fireteam he was on. Garnet smirked at the fond memories he held about them, from the day of their first mission to the last time he saw them. The former Guardian understood that the fine details for Team RWBY would have to be sorted out by the individual members, but it still didn't mean that he can't help them the rookie team. Garnet stopped and looked out a window towards the light still shining over the mountains on the horizon. He furrowed his eyebrows as his thoughts went to his team, having seen the beginnings of Team RWBY. He closed his eyes and for the first time in a while let himself remember his past.

{~-~}

"Why do you think they called us this time?" Ender asked as he glanced over at the Exo walking next to him.

"Who knows? Most likely another round of patrols near the EDZ. We won't know until they tell us, so use the patience I know you have," Chet said as they continued toward the Hall of Guardians. They had both recently gotten back from their preferred patrol routes and had met up in the Tower Hanger when the Vanguard had called them for a meeting. Chet believed that it was most likely involved with the new movement Guardians were making against the Cabal.

Ender looked over at his friend with a raised eyebrow. "Really? You, one of the top twenty Warlocks, aren't sure? I call Thrall crap on that."

The Exo Warlock heaved a sigh as his Hunter friend waved at Lord Shaxx. "Would you please stop making up phrases. They aren't going to stick."

Ender slumped as they entered the meeting room at the back of the Hall of Guardians. Around a large table, stood another Warlock and two Titans. The Warlock Vanguard Ikora Rey turned toward the two as they entered the room, and as such pulling the attention of the two others at the table. When they reached the table, Ikora gave a small smile to them and one of the Titans, Commander Zavala, gave an acknowledging nod. The third person, an Awoken female in red and blue armor, gave an unimpressed look to the two.

"Thank you for coming," Zavala said, getting the impromptu meeting started, "We've called you here today for a mission of strategic importance."

Zavala glanced at Ikora, who picked up a datapad and began to address the three non-Vanguard members at the table. "Despite his absence, Cayde's information gathering skills have shown themselves useful. Several Guardians he... convinced have acquired the location of Siege Dancers Legion's commander, Valus Ta'aurc."

"Well shit, you guys aren't doing things halfway this time," Ender said as looked between the two present Vanguard members.

"If you'll stop running your mouth, Hunter, we'll be able to get all necessary intel for this mission." Chet and Ender both look over to the Titan attending the meeting with them. Ender narrowed his eyes as his friend gave the Exo equivalent of a confused expression.

"If the three of you can focus on the meeting, please. We are sending you to infiltrate and eliminate the Valus. You are going in as a fireteam, so put any grievances aside, or settle it in the Crucible when you return." The Awoken Titan scoffed and crossed her arms while her new teammates gave a not and mock salute respectively. When all information was laid out, the three Guardians turned and left to gather the weapons and equipment needed for the mission. As they went, the Titan roughly brushed past Ender, causing him to take a step to the side and nearly run into his Warlock companion.

"What the hell?" Ender asked in annoyance. "Did I do something to her, or does she just have a grudge against all Hunters?"

Chet looked to where the Titan had exited. "It's possible. There are quite a few Titans and Warlocks that view Hunters in a negative light, though you shouldn't let her get to you. It will only be a hindrance to the mission."

The Hunter gave a huff and crossed his arms. His mood soured by the attitude of a fellow Guardian, he went to the Hanger to prep his jump ship for the missions.

{~-~}

Garnet walked down the hall of the dormitories towards his room. His mind distracted as he turned the corner to see Yang leaning on the wall next to the door to his room. She looked towards him with a smirk on her face that did nothing to hide the slight concern behind her eyes. The former Guardian sighed as he pulled out his scroll, unlocked his door, and gestured for his older sister to enter.

As Garnet closed the door, Yang walked over to the board and looked over the different drawings tacked onto it. She lifted one slightly to get a better look at it, completely aware of her younger brother watching her. "You realize that Weiss is pissed at you, right?"

The former Guardian took a breath and said, "Better me than one of her teammates."

Yang turned around to look him in the eyes. "Yeah, but she came back practically ranting about how you have no tact or some uptight stuff like that. It was a little annoying if I'm honest here."

"That's not the only thing bothering you," Garnet stated as his older sister strode across the room to lean on the bookshelf underneath the dorm's window.

The blonde brawler scoffed at his comment. "Of course not. I'm worried about my little brother making enemies in the first week at Beacon. Dad talked about this when you started at Signal."

A soft smile grew on the former Guardian's face at his sister's words. "Thanks for the concern, but I can handle myself. I've proven that before, haven't I?"

Yang winced as she remembered the time he had saved both her and Ruby when they were kids. She still remembered the flames he had used and the weapon he had created from them. "I know that. You don't have to remind me of all people of that."

Silence settled into the room as topic died down. Yang stared at the floor, and Garnet just continued to watch her from his spot on his bed. Her eyes narrowed slightly as the blonde brawler began to let her thoughts wander. "Have any clue as to why Professor Ozpin let you and Ruby attend Beacon early?" she asked after several moments of silence had passed.

Garnet looked at the ceiling as he rolled her question around his mind. "Either he honestly did it just for our skills, or he knows about the power Ruby and I possess."

Yang quickly stood straight, and shock entered her expression at the former Guardian's words. "Are you sure about that? Are you sure that it can't be anything else but that?"

Garnet's eyes met Yangs as she waited for a response. "Yes."

Yang slumped back onto the bookshelf as she began to think on what that meant for her younger siblings. "Why would that matter to him? I mean, I get that you and Ruby both have the potential to be very powerful, but she would get stronger with time with the life of a Huntress, so why recruit her early?"

"Who knows," Garnet said as he leaned back on his bed, "With everything I've told you, it's just a fraction of what I know, the basic information, and I only told you because I can't do this alone. You know enough to understand why I'd prefer both you and Ruby not to get involved with this."

The former Guardian hopped off his bed and stood in front of the board occupying a significant portion of the wall. "I don't want to lose anyone to what's out there, but I will do what I can to be sure that you'll have the best chance of survival."

Garnet clenched his fist as he remembered his fireteam and imagined what would happen to those on Remnant he had come to care about. His eyes glowed slightly as he put a hand on the drawings he made of his fireteam. "I'll find out what Ozpin wants with the two of us."

A hand was placed on his shoulder, causing the glow to fade from his eyes. He turned his head and saw a pair of caring lilac eyes gazing at him. Yang turned him around and gave her brother a loving hug. "You're not alone, Garnet. You'll jump into hell for anyone you consider family, and do the same for those I care about as well."

Garnet returned the embrace, understanding how she felt. They let go a moment later, feeling more at ease about the situation they were in. Yang stole a glance at the former Guardian's board of drawings before turning toward the door to leave. "Well," the brawler said as she stretched her arms over her head, "I'm going to head back to my dorm. Don't want Ruby finding my partner's porn stash. I'll see you tomorrow, bullet brain."

Garnet chuckled at what Yang said as she left. "If Blake has anything interesting in her stash, steal it for me. I could use a good read."

Garnet sighed as the door closed. He chuckled as he thought of all the antics that Yang had ever into. He fell back onto his bed as he remembered something Chet had said. 'Family is more than blood relations. It's trust stronger than simple comradery, and that is why I call you my brother, Ender.'

{~-~}

Ozpin leaned back in his chair as he pondered about the mystery of Garnet Rose. On his desk's holographic screen, a video of the confrontation between the young boy and the Schnee heiress. In another window, was an entire file detailing the young Rose and all he had done to gain the headmaster's attention. Looking to the other side of the desk, Ozpin picked up the drawing that Garnet had left with the headmaster. The implications of his words alone were enough to cause anyone to grow suspicious about the child, but the picture raised even more questions.

The creature in the drawing seemed to be a minor threat from appearances alone, but Ozpin knew that with the secrets he knew, it was possibly anything but minor. He looked back to the file on the screen. It held everything that Qrow had informed the headmaster about that had to do with the son of Summer Rose. From the many drawing, he had to his skills and almost ludicrous rate of growth in the field of combat.

Ozpin turned his seat to gaze out the window towards Vale. As he sat there, one question appeared from the multitude of others surrounding Garnet.

'How will you affect this conflict?'

{~-~}

Sorry for being so late on this chapter, the ending for it had me stumped for a bit. To answer some questions:

First, yes, Garnet did tell Yang about Light, but that's it. She doesn't know about any of the four enemy races in the Sol System or the Guardians and Iron Lords.

Second, the Storyline for the flashbacks are based on the Cerberus Vae III strike mission, and the timeline for the flashbacks will start from there.

Finally, I've probably said this before, but for those of you who don't know, Clip, Garnet's Ghost, will not show up until closer to Volume 3 Events. Garnet would then become stupidly overpowered and be able to stop Cinder's plan if he returned sooner. I have a couple of ideas on how he comes back. One involving Raven and the Exo Stranger, and the other involving Tyrian trying to kill Garnet. Let me know which you would prefer in the comment.

Anyways, that's all I have for this chapter. Ja Ne!
