/Tatsumi makes an appearance too, as well as team ARES and HOME (ares and home are two original teams. The A and the H are in development. I have there personalities and back story in the works.

/Again Im Sorry for the Delay.

Leone's POV

I was impressed. The Blonde had put up one hell of a fight. My arms were cut, burned and aching so hard it felt like they would fall off. I thought for sure the surprise advantage would pay off. Yet the blonde recovered very quickly. At least her friends did not intervene. Which is no surprise really as they would obviously know how she fights. Even better was the fact that she was on her way to find out exactly what was going on. Although thinking back, it would have probably been smarter to approach them like a normal civilised person and ask for directions than throw my self at a group of them and hope for the best. But then, where would the fun in that be? Now she was waiting here for this Ozpin Guy to show up. However the Blonde girl still hadn't released Me from her grip.

"Ahem" I coughed. "You can let go of me now. I promise I will behave."

"You'd better" Blondie growled. Releasing me. Maybe I should quit calling her Blondie since I was blonde too? Not until I learn Her name I don't.

The little red girl who strongly reminded her of Akame with her cuteness (I would never call Akame cute to her face. She can get really un-cute when she wants to be) was still firing off statements about weapons and other stuff she really did not understand and was bobbing up and down so fast she could barely keep track of her.

"OOOH I thinks its time for introductions. I'm Ruby Rose. The team leader. Of team RWBY" Ruby now states. My eyes widen, but then my attention is taken away when the girl in white Chimes in.

"Fine. I am Weiss Schnee. Ruby's Partner and Heiress to Shnee dust Company" She snapped with a dismissive wave. This one irritated me. I had assassinated snobs like Her. Although I had to stop and snigger at the 'dust' part.

"What?!" she snapped.

"What kind of company makes Dust? Isn't that stuff all around us? Under carpets and stuff?" I asked bewildered, wondering why she snapped at me.

"I told you she was a caveman." Blondie said. "I'm Yang Xiao Long" she ploughed on before I could respond.

"I'm Blake Belladonna. As for your amnesia or whatever, Ozpin will answer all your questions regarding where you are and what Dust is. Also Ignore the blonde Bimbo and the Ice Queen over there. Yang can be really abrasive and Weiss likes to argue and stomp her pristine heals." Blake stated, giving her a rather peculiar look. Like she couldn't quite believe something. not for the first time had she given me that look. Although I could smell something subtly different. Also her bow occasionally twitched. Hmmmm I was going to have to investigate this one.

"Excuse ME miss Blake Bellandonna..." Weiss exclaimed, stomping her 'pristine' heals and taking a deep breath to launch into a verbal storm. Yang chuckled and Blake cut in "Told you..."

"Nope You know what, I am not even going to waste my breath." Weiss says tiredly.

What followed was a whole lot of awkward silence, with the occasional Yang quip at Weiss, and Ruby telling everyone to stop arguing. At one point Weiss was squaring off against Yang over some dress comment when there was an almighty Roar. And a huge hovering Thing appeared above us, slowing as it approached us but stalking us. Yang laughed at my ready stance and look of pure bewilderment at the sudden object and/or Danger-Beast approaching us.

"never seen a hover craft before caveman...?" I silenced her with a look. I was getting very sick of the caveman comment. I looked back up dubiously to the 'hovercraft'. It was very loud. Finally It touched the floor. Some woman was standing in the centre part of the 'hovercraft''

"Thats our ride Leone." Blake simply stated, "I hope your not afraid of heights."

And with that everyone boarded followed awkwardly by me. Looking Back today had been a weird day.

I'm not normally afraid of heights, I have had my fair share of riding danger beasts, however, with those creatures you could sit on there backs, feel the wind on your face and have a full open view of your surroundings. The hovercraft turned out to be very loud, and the air stirred up by its 'engines' was battering me from all directions. Top that off with the fact that vision was limited to two sides, and tada! You have one jumpy lioness. The atmosphere didn't help either, Blake kept giving me weird looks, Weiss had a fixed scowl aimed right at me, and Yang kept sniggering at my jumpiness. Ruby was uncharacteristically silent. And then there was the woman. She had an air of chilliness about her that made Weiss seem like summer. Although (thankfully) it wasn't directed at me. She gave me peculiar looks, ranging from curiosity to a stern teacher look. Her Stern look reminded me of my Boss. Whether that was a good or bad thing remained to be seen.

We landed by some huge ornately calved building, easily the size of a palace.

"Team RWBY please return to your dorm room. Miss Leone please follow me. Professor Ozpin would like to see you." I followed the teacher into the building, actually missing the company of team RWBY, well maybe not Weiss, and we walked through seemingly endless corridors for ages. I had lost track of time. Many students passed us. Some in bizarre 'casual' clothing. Others in armor. Many of them had weapons strapped somewhere to there body, and each weapon was as weird as team RWBY's. My questions burned through ,my skull and I had to bite my toungue until we finally reached Ozpins office. The teacher knocked on the door.

"Come In." Came a cheerful voice. I followed The teacher in. "Professor Goodwitch I would like some time alone with Leone. I believe you have a search party to organise."

"Yes Professor Ozpin." Goodwitch replied stiffly. She took her leave, closing the door with maybe a little too much force.

When the professors eyes found mine all questions died in my throat. This guys eyes had a subtle glow about them. Knowing eyes. I saw sadness yet there was a great deal of wisdom.

"This is not your world Leone. You have been misplaced. Something that is happening far too often."

"Misplaced? Whats that supposed to mean?"

"It means the universe you are in now, is radically different than the universe you were born in. think of it kind of like an alternate world. Or like another land, but the only way to get there is through certain bridges. You cannot walk or drive or sail or fly to an alternate universe. Instead you must traverse these bridges."

"I Didn't go across any bridges though. I was just sort of..."

"Moved?"

"Yes."

"That seems to be how it works. No time has passed, while you move. Yet you are aware of its introductions. And of course, the sudden change in environment. You see, Leone these events have been happening more and more, not just in this universe, but in others too. There doesn't seem to be any valid means of returning either. We are investigating of course, but alas, no evidence has turned up."

"how could you possibly know that? Have you been to these other lands?"

"It stands to reason that if there are other universes, which we do have evidence for more than one other, then this phenomena isn't just happening for us."

What he said makes some sense yet I could pick up on something else. He wasnt lying per say, yet he was leaving details out. However this guy knew how to keep secrets. With most people I can read them like a book. Lies are obvious and missing information is as obvious as a huge blank space. Her imperial arms Lionelle helped with this of course, amplifying ALL of her senses, but it was practice living in the slums of the capitol that helped hone her skills even before she acquired Lionelle. This Ozpin guy however, despite lying by omission, had barely any tell tale signs. I was going to have to investigate further. But for now I was hinged on the fact that there was no way back.

"Leone you are going to have to become up to speed with Remnant and all its ways or your going to stick out like a sore thumb. I can give you an overview but you will have to rely on others to get you and keep you up to speed. Your skills in combat are impressive, defeating Yang is no easy feat. I can offer you accommodation in our school. You can also bunk with team RWBY. However you will have to take classes. Now about Remnant..."

So that was that. I was now enrolled in Beacon. And This Ozpin guy was going to teach me the overview.

/So there is that. Again I hope Leone's personality is ok. If it isnt PLEASE let me know. As with all the other characters and any other Errors I make. I would love criticism.

/I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I am going to start to work on the next one, Have a great day:)
