"Shit I can't breath." Was the first thought that crossed his mind as Allister regained consciousness. Allister began to thrash about hoping he could get his lungs to

work again. Suddenly, he felt himself being held down by a number of strong arms as something was being pulled out of his throat. As soon as it was out though,

Allister could breathe comfortably. "Where am I?" Allister asked the woman who was now holding the tube. "You're at the hospital. Do you remember why you're

here?" The nurse asked carefully. "Yeah, yeah. I was in a fight. Killed my father. Oh shit!" allister suddenly hit full realization. Allister pulled of the blankets that were

still covering him and removed part of his hospital gown. Just below his lower ribs was a massive scar from where the spear had pierced him. "That's good. You

remember. You were in surgery for 8 hours before we could stop the bleeding. You semblance kicked in automatically though, which really helped." the nurse

continued. Allister looked around, yet couldn't find any of his friends. "Hey where are the rest of the guys?" Allister asked. "They left a while ago. You've been under

for 5 days." the nurse replied nonchalantly. "Damn." Allister stated. "Don't worry I have someone contacting them now. There was this one girl though, pretty, blonde

hair. Was here 24/7 until her friends dragged her out of here. Is she your girlfriend." allister nodded in confirmation. "Keep her." The nurse advised. Allister chuckled.

Suddenly Zade teleported into the room. Zade locked Alastair in a headlock and began to noogie him. "Aye Fucker. So you didn't die this time huh." Zade joked. "Hey

man you got to keep thing interesting everyone in a while." Allister responded. "Yeah, well don't do anything too interesting huh." Max said as he entered the room.

"Hey where the rest of them?" Allister asked again. "They're at beacon. They should be leaving right now. We were already nearby… taking care of something else."

Max responded. Allister looked at the two curiously. Max and Zade glanced at each other and nodded. The both walked out of the door. On his way out Zade motioned

for someone to enter. Allister was now very confused. The woman who entered was gorgeous. She was easily 7'2" Her long white hair reached down to the middle of

her back. She wore a long black dress that really contrasted her eyes, which were also White. She looked to be in her late 40's early 50's. Kinda had that Glynda

Goodwitch feel to her. She pulled up a chair next to Allister's bed and sat down. "Hello Allister." she spoke softly. Allister shrugged his shoulders. "My name is Athena,

and, and um…." She trailed off. "What?" Allister asked carefully. Athena looked as if she were about to cry. Suddenly, she lunged forward and wrapped Allister in a

tight embrace. Despite this being a random stranger Allister felt a strange warmth from this woman. As she pulled away, Athena took a deep breath before saying.

"I'm your mother." Allister stared intently at Athena. "I know it may be hard to believe but I am. I… I just wanted to say I'm so." Athena stopped as she felt Allister

stand up and hug her back. "I believe you. It's just… you seem so different." Allister stated. "Your father, and his family, were always very old fashioned and ignorant

people. But, he was the strongest of us, and the only one of royal blood, which is why the dynami followed him without question. That's also why, when you were

born, that you needed to be removed from the clan. I begged him to let me keep you, to let me train you, to let me make you the strongest person you could be, a

respectable Dynami. Of course, that asshat of a father of yours had you kidnapped and disposed of in the middle of the night. I thought you were lost for 19 years. I

never believed that you would show up to fight against us, but on the side of your father's greatest enemies." Athena explained. "Actually they are the ones who

raised me for a while after I was abandoned." Allister answered. "Well… for what it's worth I'm just here to apologize. Now that I'm the head of the dynami. I wish to

make peace with those from the pulsing fist academy." Athena revealed. "I agree that that is for the best." Allister responded "Oh, I also wanted to bring up

something. I was watching the entire fight between you and your father. You showed no hesitation in killing him. How is that?" Athena asked. "Well it's like you said.

That man abandoned me. Then he had the gall to threaten my friends and the people who actually gave enough of a damn to care for me. It was a no brainer."

Allister explained "I just wanted to let you know that… If you wanted to… there will always be a home for you with us." Athena offered. "I appreciate it.

Wholeheartedly, but I like my place here." Allister said. Athena nodded understanding. "Just know you're always welcome." Athena said. As Athena walked to the door

she was stopped as Allister gave her another hug from behind. "I'm… happy I met you. Mother." Allister said. Athena smiled, choking back tears of joy. "I was here

earlier and I noticed some girl holding your hand intently. Is there anything I should know about." Athena joked. "Nice try. You've been my mother for 2 minutes."

Allister retorted, smirking. "We'll you are starting to get older. Hopefully I'll be meeting my grandchildren next joked as she winked at Allister and left the room.

Allister stood there dumbstruck for a moment before leaning out and yelling after her. "The hell you will! How old do you think I am. You better not be coming back

for years for goddamned grandchildren. The hell is wrong with you!" Allister immediately shot straight as he heard a couple of informative coughes. Allister slowly

turned to see the rest of his friends standing behind him, Yang at the forefront, her face completely bathed in red as she stared at the floor. Allister facepalmed

himself so hard, he nearly knocked himself off his feet. "Well you're looking… healthy." Yang noted stammering. Allister walked over and wrapped Yang in another

hug. Allister could hear Max and Zade snickering. Allister looked up and mouthed "Fuck you." to them. "Allister. Your discharge has been approved. You can go." the

nurse called from down the hall. Allister nodded as the group turned to leave the hospital. "So, things like this happen normally?" Kenneth asked falling into line with

Allister. Allister looked over and noticed the bandages on Kenneth side sneaking out from under his shirt, and the brace which was around his neck. "Not particularly,

good thing you survived this one though." Allister noted. Kenneth laughed. " Atlesian military training program 5 years. I can fight." Kenneth answered. "Ah." Allister

noted before looking over at Yang who seemed extremely well off despite her injuries. Yang's face grew hot again as she realized Allister was staring. IT only took her

a moment to realize why. Yang reached in the front of her shirt and pulled out Allister's cross necklace. "That explains everything, but wait how did you get it again?"

Allister asked. "Well I decided to keep wearing it since you left it in my room after we" Yang stated, but was immediately silenced as Allister clamped a hand over her

mouth. "Ok! Nobody really needs to hear that story." Allister yelled, causing everyone to laugh. "Allister." Ren spoke from the back. "Got it." Allister responded.

Allister released Yang and fell back so that he and Ren could talk. "What's up?" Allister asked. "The academy wants all of us to go and visit tonight. Now that you're

awake. They wouldn't tell me why though." Ren informed. Allister mulled the idea over in his head. "Sure why not right." Allister noted. "Oh, and who was that woman

who was leaving your room right as we got there?" Ren asked. "You'll never believe it. Apparently That was my mother." Allister answered. "Wait wait wait! You're

telling me sexy woman was your mother." Max, Zade, Ren, kenneth, and Jaune all asked in unison. And also in unison, all 5 received a swift blow to the head by one

of the females. Allister laughed. "That's what she told me." Allister stated. "And How would you guys feel about visiting the academy tonight. For what I have no

idea." Allister announced. Everyone looked around at one another. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the girls were already half way down the street leaving the guys

stranded. "We're grabbing Coco and going shopping. See you tonight." Ruby yelled back so the guys weren't totally in the dark. The 6 guys all stood there awkwardly.

"They do realize that this is probably in part going to be a funeral for those who died fighting the dynami." Ren asked. "Nope." Allister responded. "Not one bit." Jaune

agreed. "Totally ignorant." Zade chimed in. "And that's the fun part." Max concluded. "You guys are horrible." Ren said as he threw his hand in the air and walked

away. "So where are we gonna waste time until tonight?" Jaune asked Ren as everyone caught up to the ninja. "No idea." Ren answered. The group sighed as they

wandered off, looking for anything to occupy them until tonight.

That night, At the pulsing fist academy:

Teams RWBY, JNPR, and ENDD sat solemnly at the back of a large gathering hall while the members of the pulsing fist academy finished up their ceremony for the

fighters who had died in the conflict with the dynami. The grandmaster stood upon his pedestal at the front of the room, speaking his final goodbyes. Allister and Ren

were both kneeling patiently next to him. As Grand master Kogua finished, the coffins were honorably carried out of the hall. Once the final coffin had left Kogua

spoke again. "Fellow warriors. Friends. We may have just finished these melancholy rituals, however, tonight is not alone a night of sadness. Wherever there is

darkness there must also be the ight. I would like to start by extending a gesture of gratitude to our friends from Beacon academy, who were instrumental in the

protection of this wonderful establishment." The teams laughed nervously as everyone bowed in their direction. "Oh. it was nothing." Ruby mused. Master Kogua

laughed. "Second. I would like to present Lie ren. For his honor in combat. And his exceptional skill, with the rank of Master." Ren stood up as everyone applauded for

him, yet no one as loud as Nora. Ren walked towards MAster Kogua and bowed before him. Master Kogua reached out and grabbed a sword from the man behind

him. As Ren stood up straight, master Kogua bowed, extending the katana to him. "I know it may seem strange, since this is an academy that specializes in hand to

hand combat, but this blade is made of a special metal that will allow you to channel your aura through it and use all the skills you have learned here." Master Kogua

explained, urging Ren to take the sword. Ren reached out and gently picked up the sword. Ren unsheathed the sword, impressed by its flawless blade and pure

reflectiveness. "You honor me deeply. My thanks are a numerous as stars in the sky." Ren thanked as he stared at his own reflection in the blade. Ren sheathed the

sword and took his seat next to Allister. "Furthermore," Kogua continued. "I know many of you who have been here for a while still remember our dear friend Allister.

Despite his unfortunate departure years ago, llister was one of our brightest, most dedicated students. As such, I have convened with the elders, and we have come

to the consensus that Allister shall be re inducted as a member of the Pulsing fist academy, As well as receive his own title as Master." Allister walked before the

master and bowed, humbly. Master Kogua bowed as well and handed Allister his symbolic sword. Allister replaced himself next to Ren, where the two fistbumped each

other. "Now I would like to say one last thing." Master Kogua announced, "As a result of our recent conflict, There has been a change of leadership within the Dynami

clan. This new leadership has professed a desire for peace between us, ending our long standing conflict. I have wholeheartedly agreed, and so it is my great

pleasure, and honor to say that the fight is over." The room erupted into a roar of applause at the news. "Now go, be merry." The master suggested.

A few hours later everyone was enjoying themselves. Jaune and Pyrrha were dancing rather scandalously along side most of the other students. Ren was reminiscing

with some old friends from the academy, Nora attached to his arms at all times. Zade and Weiss appeared to be arguing over something, which Max dared not get

involved in. Kenneth and Blake were standing off in a corner, looking as awkward as possible as random students and teachers would engaged them in small talk.

Allister was having a discussion with Master Kogua and some of the other elders, Yang standing dutifully next to him. Max laughed, once again finding their difference

in height ridiculous. Max looked around, focusing back on his original task. "Where the heck could she have gone?" Max thought to himself. As soon as the party had

started, Ruby had disappeared into the crowd. Max had been milling through the people, looking for the little rose, but she still managed to evade him. Max shuffled

his way back towards the door to the hall. Max stepped outside, hoping the fresh mountain air would clear his head before he resumed his search. As Max walked in

circles outside the room, he noticed a small roe petal be carried around a corner by a gust of wind. Max eyed the rose suspiciously and turned the corner. Jackpot!

The hall was littered with Rose petals that could only have been produced by Ruby's semblance. Max took off down the trail. The petals led him through a winding set

of stairs and hallways. Eventually, Max was lead to the roof of one of the adjacent buildings. On the far side Max could see Ruby just sitting there. She was dangling

her legs of the edge and Rose petals gently fluttered from her red hood. Max walked over And sat down next to her. "What's up?" Max asked cautiously, Ruby slightly

turned her head away. Max looked out over the edge. It was gorgeous, providing a view of the entire academy, as well as the surrounding mountains. "It's a beautiful

view isn't it?" Max asked. Ruby simply shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "Beautiful as you." Max continued. Ruby turned back towards Max, allowing him to finally

see her face. Max managed to mask his sudden shock as saw the tears running down Ruby's cheeks. Max gently reached out and pulled Ruby into his embrace. Ruby

grabbed onto Max's shirt tightly and began sobbing into his shirt. "I-I Killed him. I killed a person. Being a huntress was never supposed to be like this. I thought we

just killed grimm and protected people. Killing other people wasn't supposed to be on the program." Ruby managed to squeak out between the tears. Max tenderly

rubbed his hand in a small circle on her back, calming her. "Nothing is ever as it seems Ruby." Max said. "But why can't it?" Ruby asked defiantly. "It just is that way.

I can't control it. You can't control it. Some days we just need to… go with the flow, see where we end up." Max explained. Ruby pulled away from Max slightly, eyeing

the two large tear stains on his chest. "B-b-but how am I supposed to be hunteress. How will i be able to live with myself if I know I need to kill even more people."

Ruby asked, tears threatening to fall again. "First, tell me why. The me why you killed that one man you did during the mission." Max asked. "I didn't want to. I was

just stopping him from hurting you." Ruby replied. Immediately Max leaned in and pressed his lips against Ruby's. Ruby was shocked at first but slowly melted into

the kiss. As Max pulled away he looked softly at Ruby. "That exactly how you do it. Look at your enemy, imagine him being the one to kill your sister, your father,

me, Weiss, anybody you care for. And you can find it in yourself to continue walking forward. When I fought on behalf of the tournament, all I could think of during

my fight was the possibility of my enemy being the one who would turn around and kill you or any of my friends, and I just couldn't let that stand." Max explained.

Ruby looked down at her hands, contemplating what Max had just said. "I understand. I still don't like it." Ruby said. "Nobody ever likes it. We just do it. C'mon, we

had better get back before other people start to worry." Max suggested. Max stood on the roof a reached a hand out to Ruby. Ruby grabbed on and Max pulled her to

her feet. At that same instant Ruby pulled down on Max and pulled her lips to his. "Thank you." Ruby whispered. Max smiled down at her. "Let's go." Max insinuated.

Ruby grabbed his arm and the two turned to leave. As they came down from the roof the trail of rose petals was no where insight. "Uh. Do you know how to get

back?" Ruby asked. "Oh shit." Max declared. The two looked at each other and started laughing, looking for the way back.

Darron stood bloody, beaten, and half dead. Darron swayed back and forth, doing his best to maintain his balance. Darron reached up and wiped some blood away,

that had run down his forehead to his eyes. Darron blinked quickly, clearing his vision, and refocusing it on his opponent. Ironwood stalked around Darron, like a

predator preparing for a final strike. Ironwood had removed his shirt, leaving his robotic enhancements exposed. Darron instinctively reached down for his blade. As

his hand grasped empty air, however, Darron sighed. Darron had managed to forget that he was only standing there in a pair of black boxers, his weapons and

clothes totally confiscated from the start of the fight. Ironwood took Darron's sigh as a sign of weakness and rushed in for the win. Ironwood cocked his robotic arm

back and swung hard at Darron. Darron snapped his arm up, blocking Ironwood's swing. Darron dropped to his knee and placed two punches directly to Ironwood's

stomach. Darron stood, and popped up in the air, slamming his foot to the bottom of Ironwood's chin. Darron landed and attempted to follow up with a sidekick to

Ironwood's head. Ironwood reached out, and grabbed a hold with his robotic hand. Ironwood lifted Darron above his head and slammed Darron back down to the

ground. Darron shouted in pain as he felt his bones shake. Darron struggled back to his feet when he felt Ironwood slammed a kick to his ribs. Darron fell flat again.

Ironwood slammed his foot down on Darron's back. "Is this all you're truly capable of?" Ironwood asked. Darron lay motionless, unanswering.

Up in an observation deck Ozpin and Glynda viewed the scene. "We can't let him to this!" Glynda yelled at Ozpin. "We have no choice, his time is up. If Darron doesn't

succeed on this attempt then the point is mute. We gave his 5 days to do it himself. Now it is time for more aggressive action." Ozpin explained. "That is crazy. All

this, and for what?" Glynda asked. "For the safety of everyone." Ozpin answered, calm as ever. Glynda scoffed as she returned her attention back down to the

battlefield.

Darron felt light. Really light. In fact, it felt like he was floating. Darron looked around, but everything was pitch black. "Hello." Darron called out curiously. "Ah, yes

you're here." A wicked voice called out. Suddenly, in the darkness, blood red eyes, and crooked smiles of nearly 30 faces all surrounded Darron. "What is this

place?" Darron asked. "Oh, you don't know. Strange that you wouldn't even understand your own subconscious." A second wicked voice called out "My

subconsciousness?" Darron asked again "Yes you fool. We have brought you here. We need to have a discussion." the first voice commanded. "Fuck you guys.

I will not let you assholes run rampant, not after last time." Darron stated. "Do not be insolent you little fuck. We just want to help you murder everyone in

your way. Especially general ironass over here." A third voice argued. "No!" Darron replied sternly. "I don't think you understand this do you. You either

let us take control so we can kill this guy, or you get up and kill this guy. Unless, you want him to kill you." The second voice pointed out. "Maybe I would

rather die. Would certainly put a damper on your day." Darron replied sarcastically. "Don't be an ass. If die you won't ever get to see Blake again. Huh." A

voice pointed out. "Well at least she'll be safe from you fucks." Darron retorted. Suddenly, Darron's subconscious began to shake. "Fuck! Ironass is trying to

smash are head we need to stop him know." One voice yelled. "Oh looks like you do need me more than I need you." Darron noted "Fuck you you will get

nothing." the voices yelled out in protest. Darron silent, stuck at an impasse with his own demons. Waiting imminent death.

The next morning Blake was quietly sitting in the library, reading her favorite book. Suddenly, her faunus ears twitched ever so slightly as she heard someone

approaching. "Ah Figure I'd find you here." Kenneth noted. "Oh and how's that?" Blake asked. "Dresses in Black, doesn't say much. Honestly, not that hard." Kenneth

laughed, not indicating this was his 3rd guess. "Well, are you going to sit down?" Blake asked. "Uh. sure." Kenneth answered as he took the spot across from Blake.

"What are you reading?" Kenneth asked politely. "A book." Blake responded quickly. Kenneth glared at Blake. "About?" Kenneth inquired further. "A man with 4

souls." Blake responded quickly again. "Why are you so cold to such an old friend?" Kenneth asked. Blake eyed Kenneth curiously, and he flashed her a toothy smile.

At that moment it all clicked for Blake. "No! You're that Kenneth?" Blake asked. "The one and only." Kenneth answered. Blake sat back in her chair in shock,

remembering those time from long long ago.

11 years ago

A 7 year old Kenneth ran as hard as he could, His arms pumping and his lungs burning. Kenneth tightened his grip on the bag of chocolate he had stolen( bread is so

goddamned cliche) As shop owner chasing him threw something past his. Kenneth tried to duck into a nearby alley to evade the man. Unfortunately, One of the Man's

associates was standing at the other end of that alley, awaiting him. Kenneth was trapped. The two men began to enclose on him. "You've done it now boy." The

shopkeeper said, grinning maliciously. "Nobody steals from us and gets away." The associate claimed. Kenneth tried to draw into himself hoping to make everything

go away. Kenneth closed his eyes in anticipation of the beating the poor orphan boy would be receiving. "Hey!" A voice called out. Kenneth looked up just in time to

see a boy a year or 2 older than him jump the shopkeeper. As the shopkeeper hit the floor The boy stood above his face and punched down on the shopkeeper. The

associate immediately ran over to assist his boss. Kenneth watched in awe as the boy continued to fend of the two much older, much larger men, as best as he could.

Kenneth spun around as he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Kenneth spun around and saw a young girl his age. She had amber eyes, raven black hair, and a little

black bow on top of her head. "Follow me." she beckoned. Kenneth decided to trust the girl and the two took off running, leaving The other boy behind to fend for his

own.

Once they were a far enough distance away the two stopped to catch their breath. "Thanks for saving me." Kenneth said. The girl smiled at him. "Don't thank me.

Thank Darron when you see him. Oh, My name's Blake." She introduced herself. "Kenneth." Kenneth replied. "So where are we going?" Blake asked. Kenneth looked

around, getting a look at his surroundings. "This way." Blake Allowed Kenneth to lead the way back to his orphanage.

The two walked until it was nearly dark. "Ah we're finally here." Kenneth said. Blake looked up at the orphanage. It appeared to be a run down hotel, with broken

windows, and paint cracked all over the front. The only security was was rusted chain link fence. As the two approached they gasped. Darron sat on the concrete

steps leading up to orphanage door. Darron looked pretty worse for wear. His clothes were torn in multiple places, one eye was swollen shut, his arms and knuckles

were also heavily bruised, and in one hand a bloody knife. "Darron." Blake called out as she ran to her friend and began inspecting his injuries. "Di-did you kill them?"

Kenneth asked apprehensively, cautiously eyeing the blade. "No no. I had no reason to kill them. Just needed to give myself the upper hand."Darron answered.

Kenneth sighed. "Well let's go inside." Kenneth suggested. Darron and Blake nodded and followed.

Present:

"Remember now?" Kenneth asked. "Yeah. I do. I remember that we stayed with you for a while after that." Blake added. "Yep." Kenneth nodded. "Wow! I'll be honest

I never imagined that you would be part of the atlesian army." Blake said. "Yeah me neither." Kenneth admitted. "C'mon let's take a walk." Blake suggested.

Kenneth jumped from his chair and followed the cat faunus out of the room. The two walked all throughout the campus, talking about old times and anything that

came to mind. At one point they stumbled upon the gym, where Allister and Yang were busy competing in some rigorous workout. Eventually the passed by teams

RWBY's dorm, where Zade and Weiss were laying on Weiss's bed, Zade reading a book in his faux posh english accent, and the heiress resting her head on his chest.

Blake and Kenneth also arrived at the school blacksmith, where Ruby and MAx were busy building something. Kenneth and Blake finally finished their impromptu tour

at the cafeteria. By now, despite all the conversation, Blake looked considerably more depressed. "You really miss him huh?" Kenneth asked suddenly. "Yeah. A lot."

Blake admitted. "I'm sure he's fine wherever he is." KEnneth said, hoping to comfort the girl. Kenneth's efforts were cut short when suddenly a bunch of students

started running over to one end of the cafeteria. Naturally curious, Blake and Kenneth followed. When they arrived they noticed that there was some breaking news

report on the school monitor. Eventually the notice was replaced by Vale's leading news Anchor, Lisa lavender. "We come to you with breaking news." The voice of

Vale began. "General James Ironwood of the Atlesian army was admitted into the emergency room at Vale general hospital this afternoon. The general was reported

to have his flesh rendered in multiple locations, multiple broken bones, and massive blood loss. Doctors have informed us that, while he is stable, his condition is still

be monitored very closely. Official military statements indicate that Ironwood was overseeing some live fire exercises in a grimm infested forest when their platoon

was overrun. The general received his injuries while defending fellow soldiers from harm. More on this story tonight. In other news…" The anchor trailed off as the

people began to lose interest. "Shit. I hope the general's ok." kenneth asked. "Me too." Blake agreed, looking down at her feet. She didn't know how, but she knew

that Darron was involved someway, somehow, and that she would find out very very soon.

Glynda and Ozpin stared down at Darron in shock. "What the hell." Glynda stated. Ozpin merely shook his head. "This is why I told James not to underestimate him.

That cocky attitude of his is what caused this." Ozpin stated. Ozpin left the observation room and made his way to the training room, Glynda dutifully following. As

Ozpin entered the room Darron turned to look at him. "That was… impressive." Ozpin stated. Darron nodded wordlessly. "Come I would like to show you something."

Ozpin stated, walking out of the room. Darron rolled his eyes and followed the ever cryptic headmaster. As they walked Darron noticed that professor Goodwitch was

eyeing him cautiously. Ozpin led them through a series of corridors and elevators. Eventually, Darron found himself in a large emerald colored, hallway. It was

illuminated on both sides by torches. Darron noticed that Ozpin was leading them to two metal cylinders that had been set up at the end of the hallway. Qrow was

leaning against the contraption as the group approached. "Why am I here?" Darron asked. "Well, welll. I heard you did quite a number on jimmy." Qrow said

wrapping a shoulder around Darron. "Nice job." Qrow stated. Professor Goodwitch glared at him. Qrow chuckled before backing up. OZpin turned to face Darron

before he started speaking. "We have brought you here, because we need your help." Ozpin stated, seriously. Darron obviously looked confused. "What if I told you…

Magic was real?" Ozpin asked. Darron's eyebrows peaking in interest. "Good." Ozpin continued. "Similar to Allister's holy light, magic has taken a number of forms.

Tell me have you ever heard the story of the 4 seasons. (I think that's what it's called)" Ozpin asked. Darron listened intently as OZpin explained in great detail the

story and the implications it had on reality. Once Ozpin had finished Darron decided to speak. "And so you want me to become the fall maiden, cause I don't think

that's going to be happening." Darron joked. "No, We want you to protect her until we find someone capable of receiving her power. This current generation is

starting to age. We are not equipped to fight the enemies that continue to stalk our shadows. We have come to the consensus that it is time we start training the next

generation of those who will defend the world, and you are the first among them." Ozpin stated. "There's more to this isn't there?" Darron asked, clearly seeing

through Ozpin's words. "Yes." Ozpin sighed. "Should we be unable to protect her, we want you to use your mind's capacity for holding multiple aura's to hide her aura

inside yourself, until, of course, we find someone to give it to." Ozpin explained. Darron chuckled. "And if I want no part of this?" Darron asked. "Then I'm afraid we

just can't take our chances." Ozpin said. Darron could feel the impressive aura of the top class hunters begin to flow around them. Darron stared Directly at Ozpin,

daring him to make the first move.

I know this chapter may have seemed a little disorganized and all over the place. My filler chapters need work and will be worked on, but mostly I hate having more than 1-2 filler chapters. I'm usually a fan of the action, hence the long condensed chapter. Hopefully it didn't affect you too much and I hope your all excited to get right back into the action in the next chapter. Until then.
