Inside a Vale's Police Stations Interrogation Room...
It's been a few hours since Cody was brought into the interrogation room. Cody was simply leaning back on the chair, trying to balance a pencil on his finger.
But while he was goofing off, Yurusen was pacing back and forth, mumbling a few things. He stopped pacing as he looked at Cody who was still goofing off.
He growled in anger as he saw him doing absolutely noting about this situation!
"Will you please take this seriously Cody?!" Yurusen snapped causing Cody to lose balance and fall to the ground.
Cody groaned lightly before slowly standing back up, rubbing his head. "Ow... I am Yurusen..."Cody groaned as he sat back on the chair.
"I don't think goofing around is taking this seriously..." Yurusen sweatdropped.
"There's no reason to take this like we're trapped or something. Sides... we're not in any danger..." Cody stated as he leaned back again.
"Not in any danger?! I don't know about you, but that hag lured us here! She's gonna kill us... or worst turn us into ghosts!" Yurusen panicked as he rushed around the room.
You're already a ghost... Cody groaned in his thoughts, trying to ignore Yurusen's cries.
"Also how did she even do that?! I thought the magic in this realm of the living disappeared long ago?!" Yurusen cried out.
"It's obvious she used some unique Dust in order to do that... now will you quiet down? I'm trying to relax here..." Cody sighed as he closed his eyes a bit.
More like you're wanting to sleep this off... Again! Ugh... why did he have to partner me with this slacker? Yurusen kept flying around frantically.
As that little mess kept going on in the interrogation room, on the other side of the glass was the lady who brought them here. She sighed as she was looking over the footage from the shop that he saved. While it took awhile she was able to alter it to where anyone watching this footage can see the fight that unfolded.
It's interesting to see that this boy can do such things like that... And unless someone has a large pool of Aura or even a Faunus... You'll need whatever those things he has... The lady thought as she saw him change into the armor he wore.
And as she kept watching, the door behind her opened up. The one who then came inside was what looked to be a middle-aged man. While he looks middle-aged, his eyes showed more of a fully experienced warrior who have seen more conflict than even someone claiming to be an immortal could have seen.
He wears shaded glass spectacles and a dark-green scarf with a small, purple, cross-shaped emblem on it. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest, with a green undershirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.
He smiled as he walked in, carrying a plate of cookies for some odd reason? "So how is he doing right now Glynda?" Asked the man.
The lady now known as Glynda looked at the man smiled slightly at him. "Right now... the boy seems to waiting patiently for us Ozpin. But as for his... companion..." Glynda said before turning back to the room.
Yurusen is now yelling around in the room, making as much noise as he could. "Hey Hag! You hear me?! Let us go! Or I swear I shall haunt you till you pass on into the afterlife! You hear me you ha-" Yurusen was quickly cut off as a small ball of energy enters the room and smacks him on his head, causing the little spirit to float to the ground in a daze.
"Let's just say he's acting like a spoiled brat..." Glynda finished as she rubbed her temples.
The man known as Ozpin sighs a bit before walking next to her as he started to watch the feed. As he watched he then saw something out in the distance.
"Hold it Glynda... Freeze it right there..." Ozpin asked.
Glynda looked at him before she then froze the screen. "What is it Ozpin?" She asked him.
He then grabbed the tablet as he zoomed in on a single frame out near the distance of the fight right before Cody finished it.
"Tell my Glynda... what do you make of that?" Ozpin asked as he handed her the tablet.
She then looked at the frame as best she could as she saw what Ozpin found... "A... old man? What does this have to do with this boy?" She asked him, confused.
Ozpin could only look at Cody with a serious look on his face as Cody was holding up the Ore Eyecon.
It could only mean... that something big is about to happen here in Vale... maybe even Remnant... Ozpin thought as he looked down at the tablet.
What was shown on it was nothing more than a blurry figure... but what could be made out of it was a old man wearing some tribal clothes and holding a golden staff.
The weirdest part was that this old man was looking at the camera where the footage was taken, and holding up a peace sign as he grinned from ear to ear. Like he knew someone was going to find him.
(Insert opening song - This Will Be The Day - RWBY Vol.1 Opening)
The start first starts off with a guitar strumming a bit before the lyrics start.
[They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child]
The screen shifts to Cody sitting upon a rooftop in the middle of the night. He sits their as he looks at the Ore Eyecon in his hand.
[Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild]
Something then goes amiss as Cody quickly looks up to see a fire outbreak near by. He then smirks as he jumps off of the roof.
[Prepare for your greatest moments. Prepare for your finest hour.]
The title card the appears as it shines a bit before shifting down after Cody.
[The dream that you've always dreamed is, Suddenly about to flower]
As Cody runs through the road, he passes by a single rose in a pot, a snowflake in a store, a cat in an alley way, and finally a single ember flicker from a window of an occupied house.
[We are lightning]
Once he reaches the area, four shadows appear above him. Cody stops to see the shadows land in front of him.
[Straying from the thunder, Miracles of ancient wonder]
In front of him were Team Rwby smiling at him. Cody then smiles back as he grabs the lever of the Ghost Driver on his waist and pushes it in to don on the Ghost Damashii.
[This will be the day we've waited for, This will be the day we open up the door]
Fight then breaks out as Cody and Team Rwby are fighting against the Grimm and the Ganma as they clash it out together.
[I don't wanna hear your absolution, Hope you're ready for a revolution]
As they fight them, Team JNPR drop down to assist them as they battle some more highly evolved Ganma.
[Welcome to a world of new solutions, Welcome to a world of bloody evolution]
As both teams fight their enemies, Roman is standing on a roof near by, watching them fight along with Ara and his benefactor as they grin from ear to ear about some special plan they have in-stored for them all.
[In time-your heart will open minds]
As the fight continues, the teams are surrounded by Ganma and Grimm as they approach them all. And out from the distance is Ozpin watching them all along with Sennin as he smiles and offers them some power.
[A story will be told , And victory is in a simple soul]
Energy flows into Cody, Team RWBY and JNPR. They all then nod at each other as Cody activates his OmegaDrive. They all then jump at the enemies, delivering their own special attack as Cody flies at the screen with a rider kick, smashing through and showing the title card one last time.
As Cody was about to doze off, the door opened as Ozpin and Glynda walked into the room. Cody snapped back awake as he leaned forward to see the two adults there.
Ozpin sat down in front of Cody while Glynda was behind him, holding the tablet of his battle. Ozpin then placed the plate of cookies in front of Cody.
Cody could literally hear his stomach asking him to feed it. He then gulped as he went to reach for one. But only to be stopped by Yurusen.
"Hold it Cody!" Yurusen shouted, making the latter stop.
"What now Yurusen?" Cody groaned as Yurusen flew up next to him.
"Those cookies could be poisoned!" Yuyursen exclaimed out of fear.
This caused Ozpin to chuckle. "It's not poisoned little one." Ozpin said, making both Cody and Yurusen look at him with shock.
"You can see me too?!" Yurusen shouted.
"Yes I can... and I'm not here to hurt you two. We just want to talk..." Ozpin replied calmly.
Yurusen then flew up into Ozpin's face. "Yeah right! I bet you and that hag are trying to torture us!" Yurusen shouted, only to be met by a glare from Glynda.
Yurusen then yelped before flying behind Cody for cover. Cody on the other hand just sighed as he looked at Glynda.
"I am very sorry for his behavior ma'am... He can be a bit... paranoid..." Cody said as he bowed for her forgiveness.
Glynda sighed as she rubbed her temples again. "If he can just be quiet and let us explain... then all is forgiven..." She answered.
"Even the hag part?" Yurusen asked as he peek out from behind Cody, only to be met by another glare.
"Don't push it spirit..." Glynda growled lightly as Yurusen yelped and hid behind Cody again.
Ozpin smiled lightly as he coughed to get their attentions. "Now... If we can move on? We would like to ask you a few questions boy." Ozpin asked as Glynda showed Cody the feed which made him surprised that they were able to show his fight.
"Where on earth did you learn how to fight like this?" Ozpin asked, curious on his answer.
"Um... well... from my teacher..." Cody answered shyly.
"And... where is this teacher now?" Glynda asked him, wanting to know more.
"Well... from The Isle Of The Dragon's Breath..." Cody answered her.
This made both Ozpin and Glynda look at him shocked and surprised by this info. They then looked at each other before looking back at him.
"You're from The Isle Of The Dragon's Breath? I will admit, I am surprised to see someone from that place... especially since they cut ties with the rest of Remnant many years ago... May I ask why are you here then?" Ozpin asked Cody, curious now more than ever.
Cody then reached into his pocket as he placed three Eyecon's on the table. One black, one red and the newest one, yellow.
He then looked up at them with glaring eyes. "I'm here to get my life back..." He stated.
This made them both looked at him confused. "What do you mean by that? And please... explain in full detail..." Ozpin asked him.
Cody then just lowered his head as he rubbed his shoulder slightly. Ozpin smiled lightly, knowing this reaction.
"Don't worry... We promise no information about this will leave this room... you have my word as the headmaster of Beacon..." Ozpin smiled.
Cody then looked up at Ozpin, surprised. He's the headmaster of Beacon Academy? Cody thought to himself as he started to think it over.
Cody then sighed as he nodded to them. Accepting their deal. Ozpin smiled again as he sipped some of this coffee, waiting for him to explain.
"Well... as some of you may know... The Isle Of the Dragon's Breath, is a small island bellow the northern continent of the largest landmass that resembles a northern dragon." Cody started to explain.
((Look at RWBY's Remnant world map and find the one that looks like a large european dragon. Below that is a small island that I have named The Isle Of The Dragon's Breath.))
"This island belonged to many people and what other claim to be the birthplace of all Grimm... Which since I lived there, I can tell that those legends are true..." He stated, making them both look at him with surprise.
"As well as the rumor that the people their can also live with the Grimm in harmony. I should know, my friend's family helped raise some of them." Cody smiled lightly.
"But... how? Grimm are always drawn to negativity and the darkness within humans... how can your village even live with them?" Glynda asked him.
"I wish I could tell you... the answer to that has been lost for many generations... No one really know why right now. We just accept it." Cody answered with a smile.
"Can you then tell us why you're here to... 'Get your life back?' " Ozpin asked him.
Cody then nodded as he started to think back to that day... The day were everything began... He looked up as he began to tell them...
"It was a 4 weeks ago... 4 weeks before all this mess began..." Cody began to tell them.
"I was still ignorant with my surroundings like the rest of the people there. We only cared about looking out for one another and taking care of this island and the inhabitants. Everyone was simply enjoying their lives without a care in the world... And I was no different." Cody said as he let out a small chuckle.
"That day started with mostly me cleaning up the shrine my family have been protecting for as long as their was recorded history on the island. I never minded cleaning it up and keeping it tidy. It was tradition and I loved every bit of it." He said as he was lean back against the chair again, recalling everything he could.
"Of course I knew someday, this peace wouldn't last forever. My only wish was that I wasn't around to see it...While we did cut our ties, a few of us still wanted to know what was going on out with the rest of the world. We had enough resources and money to grab some things long ago and replicate it back home." Cody stated.
Ozpin was surprised that a small place like that could do such a thing. But he kept it to himself as he kept listening in on Cody's tale.
"We knew of the Academies, the Hunters/Huntresses, and even the supposed crime that was going on. Some of us did want to help out, but we knew if we got in the way, we would pay the price. So we could only stand by and just watch." Cody grimaced as he looked away slightly.
"But for me? I wanted to do a bit more as well... so I trained from a young age with one of the masters there. A Hunter who decided to retire and relax. Someone who just wanted to escape the troubles of this world. Our village gladly accepted him in. I knew if he could train me, maybe I could try something? Of course he told me to just forget about it... Forget about the rest of the world and enjoy what time I had left. But that didn't stop me... I did everything I could think of to get him to accept me... even if it was a one time thing..." Cody said as he looked his hands lightly before clenching them.
Ozpin saw his look. He must've been very important to him... Someone who saw the warrior within this boy... Ozpin thought to himself as he kept listening in.
"I helped him out, fixed anything he had that was broken, cleaned and cooked. And after week of hard labor, he saw my determination and finally trained me. It was the hardest thing I ever did... But after 3 weeks of it... He stated that I no longer needed training with him..." Cody said with a light smile on his face.
"I asked him why? But he only stated that he had a feeling that I was finished with my training..." He stated as Glynda and Ozpin looked at each other slightly before turning their attention back to him.
"I shrugged it off and thanked him for the time well spent... He then gave me a odd item and that weapon... The weapon that started it all... That black blade with the odd eye symbol... and the odd item that looked like an eyeball..." Cody said as he brought out the weapon he used not too long ago in the fight as he placed it on the table.
"He told me that this weapon and the eyeball was given to him by his father and his father before him. He stated that no one should use it.. and can only be passed down until they finally found a special warrior to wield it... And he said that I was that warrior... It was very hard to take in at the time..." Cody said softly as he looked at it sadly.
Ozpin saw this look and realized what it meant. "He died protecting you... didn't he?" Ozpin asked as Glynda looked at him with shock before looking at Cody.
She saw his look... a look of someone who lost a mentor figure who meant a lot... Cody simply nodded as he tried to fight back some tears.
"Please... tell us what happened?" Ozpin asked him.
Cody only looked up at them with a fearful yet angered look on his face. "It... awoke..." Cody said as he clenched his fist tightly.
"It?" Glynda asked, confused.
Ozpin saw his anger was rising as he decided to act quickly. "Please... Calm down... Just tell us what happened?" Ozpin asked calmly.
Cody took a few breaths before calming down as he began to collect his thoughts and tell them.
(Flashback...)
(Cody's POV)
I was simply in the woods... deciding to train a bit with my new weapon... I could tell it had a lot of power within it...
I was able to cut down several things... dead trees to stone and even some ore... I was surprised by it's strength...
I was even able to find out it had a few other modes... My curiosity got the better of me though...
"I wonder if this thing can use Dust?" I said to myself as I made my way into a dust mine.
This dust mine was shut down long time ago for unknown reasons. Me and several other kids were told to stay away from it.
Of course most of us didn't listen and we got in a lot of trouble for that... But that was before the disappearances took place...
Then we started to listen... I on the other hand now had a strong weapon... I felt like I could take on anything and any Grimm who tried to attack me...
But boy was I wrong...
As I made it to the mine, I cut my way into it. Breaking the boards and more that sealed the only entrance there.
I figured I would've gotten lost there... but for some reason I just let my instincts take hold of me.
I followed them as deep into the mines as it would take me... And after awhile... I found something I shouldn't have...
There was another blocked entranced... this one was heavily sealed... Not with just some metals, bricks and more... but sealings... special talismans that were made to ward off evil and Grimm that were there to hurt us.
Yet for some odd reason, the blockade was bent... from the inside out... like something broke out of there...
I squeezed passed it as I followed the path it lead...
I was fully scared and worried about this place... everything in my body was telling me to get out of their now...
But I had to keep going... something felt like it was calling to me... And I needed to see it through.
And after awhile I made it to the epicenter...
It looked like a bunch of ruins... covered in spider silk... but this wasn't any spider silk or even Grimm spider silk... it was black... Black as the night sky...
And what I saw was something no person should ever witness...
Right there in front of me was a large web... filled with animals, the missing people from the whole island... and even Grimm...
They were all wrapped up, devoid of life and now simply husks... I was frozen with fear... This was something I never seen before...
Something was able to trap Grimm and devour their insides... Usually when a Grimm dies they turn into ash... But the Grimm that were there...
They were now just the masks of what they were... and the shape of their bodies in that webbing.
I was frightened... frightened with true fear... Something I have never felt before...
"I... I have to get out of here..." I said to myself...
But before I could move... I felt something... something burning on my shoulder... At first... it felt like a bite from a cat...
Then the bite turned into a burning sensation... then it lead into pure agony...
I couldn't even scream from the pain as tears streaked down my face. I was able to slowly turn to see what bit me...
And there next to me, biting into my flesh... was something I have never seen before...
It looked like a Grimm... but the mask it had one was Blood red, and it was pure white minus the golden eyes it looked at me...
It was some type of large spider Grimm... very large... It kept pouring what I assumed to be venom inside my body before I finally went numb and collapsed on the ground.
It let go of me as it crawled up to my face. It screeched at me with a howl so terrifying, that even God would quiver...
But it didn't even wrap me up in its webbing... It just stood there as I felt it's venom coursing through my body more and more...
Everything started to blur as I went in and out of consciousness...
Mom... Dad... everyone... I... I'm sorry... Was what I could only think as I felt like I was about to die...
Next thing I knew, a white light enveloped me... I woke up someplace that is too hard to fully describe...
I was on some... island... with a waterfall next to me and amazing plant life all around me...
"Where... am I? I asked as I slowly stood up. I cringed as I felt the bite wound on me.
I looked to my shoulder to see two black puncher marks on me.
"Did... did I die?" I asked to myself, wondering if I was in heaven or something?
"Nah... This is just where I live." Replied someone.
I then turned to my left to see an old man standing on a hill. He had what looked like very tribal clothes one, carrying a golden staff.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
He just simply smiled. "I am everything... yet nothing... I am all and I am one..." He answered.
To which I asked him if he was God?
"No no... nothing that grand. You may call me.. Sennin." He smiled as he hoped down at me.
He knelled down before he gave off a smile. "It seems you died too soon... eh Cody-san?" Sennin said.
"You... you know me?" I asked him surprised by this.
"Of course! I've been watching you for some time now." Senning replied as he stood up and walked to the waterfall.
"W-Why?" I asked him.
"There's a great evil about to waken in Remnant... You just saw one of them already..." Sennin stated as he waved his hand in front of the fountain, appeared was the place where I died at.
The odd spider Grimm then bellowed loudly before going to my body and started to wrap me up in it's silk.
"H-Hey! Let go of my body!" I yelled out as I rushed next to Sennin.
"It can't hear you boy..." Sennin replied as I kept watching in horror.
"Just... what is that thing?" I asked, turning to Sennin.
"An Ancient Grimm..." He grimaced.
"An... Ancient Grimm?" I asked, confused.
"A Grimm... so powerful and lived for so long, that anyone who faces one... is surely going to die..." Sennin answered as he turned to me.
"They were sealed long ago.. by not only your people but others as well... 13 of them exist... dormant... And they were supposed to stay like that forever... But lately... they are slowly starting to wake up..." Sennin explained.
I on the other hand was shaking in fear... There were 13 Grimm out there... like that?
"And that on right there is known as the Arachnid Grimm. Number 6 of the Ancient Grimm. One who can devour anything... including other Grimm... It venom is so potent, that one milligram of it's venom is enough to poison an entire continent's water supply. And their is no cure..." Sennin stated as I kept watching in horror as the Arachnid Grimm was about to finish wrapping me up.
But suddenly, a few blast come out from the tunnel as it strikes against the Arachnid Grimm. It roared in pain as it backed up.
And out from the tunnel was my teacher, holding his weapon. The weapon was mostly red with some white and yellow bits of it. And had a odd design to it, something like a gun/sword with a sunglasses design in the middle... He then looked and knelled down next to me, checking my pulse.
He could only clench his fist with anger he then yelled out in anger as he charged at it, sending more fire dust at it.
"Master! We have to help him!" I shouted to Sennin.
"Sorry... but I can't.. you and him are gonners..." Sennin stated before shutting off the view into Remnant before walking away.
"Please! There has to be something I can do!" I pleaded.
Sennin stopped before looking at me. "What would you have me do hm? Send you back into the living, only to be ready to die again? What makes your soul so worthy? You have nothing.." Sennin shouted back.
I stopped in my tracks as I looked down. "I... I may not have the skill or power to take something like that on... But..." I said softly before looking at him.
"But if I don't try something, my soul will not rest. Heck... if anything right now... My soul is burning to be unleashed and ready to give it all. I could care less what happens to me, so as long as I can stop these Ancient Grimm from coming back. I'm willing to accept any risk it takes!" I yelled out, glaring at him.
Sennin looked at me before smiling and started to cackle.
"I gotta admit boy.. you are something! Here... a present from me..." He stated before he chanted something.
Next thing I know, that belt formed around my waist, and in my pocket was something that began to shine.
I reached into my pocket and brought out the odd eyeball item. It then shined before it gained black on the back of it.
"That my boy... is an Eyecon." Sennin stated as I looked at him confused.
"An Eyecon?" I asked him.
"Mhm. It's a special item... one that can contain the soul of a warrior... And that one there in your hands... is not only your friend... but you as well." He explained as he pointed at it.
"It... has my soul in it?" I asked him, still very confused.
"Yes... Now... You have a way back home." Sennin said with a smile.
"R-Really?!" I exclaimed happily.
"Yes... but now you must do something with it... Besides stopping these Ancient Grimm... you must collect 15 Heroic Eyecons within 99 days." He explained to me.
"I... gotta collect 15 in 99 days? Why?" I asked him, wanting to know more.
He just turned to me with a smile. "Because... with those 15 heroes, you will be granted one wish... Even a wish to return to the living yet again." He stated.
My eyes widened with shock and surprise. "Now.. you best get going...: He smiled before pushing me into the fountain.
Next thing I know, I wake up back in those ruins. I gasped for air as I leaned forward and used my weapon to cut of the silk.
I panted for a second until I see my master landing next to me hard. My eyes widen as I leaned next to him.
"Master!" I yelled to him, worried.
He was completely covered with cuts and wounds... including two puncher marks as well... But he just smiled at me before removing his necklace.
"C-Cody... I.. thought I lost you... Heh.. guess I was wrong..." He said to me before his body started to tremble.
"Master..." I said softly as tears started to streak down.
"Take this with you... It... was given to me by my family... They say... this was a guard... to Musashi's sword... Use it well my student..." He said to me before he let out his last breath of air...
I yelled out in rage and anger as I glared up at the Arachnid Grimm. I then held up my eyecon... the Ore Eyecon... As I charged at it.
(Flashback ends)
"And... after that I did my best on fighting that thing... But it was too powerful... So I then sealed off the rest of that area for now... And no... I couldn't even dent it... All I can do now, is find those Eyecon's, gain my life back and beat the tar out of that thing..." Cody explained as he put away those items.
"Then I went back to my village and tell them the truth... I was hoping this would allow them to leave the Isle and find somewhere else to be safe... but they stated that they wanted to stay... So instead they round up as much money as they can to send me here... My parents told me that I should come here... To Vale and find the rest of those Eyecons...And I'm still going to try and find them all... And... now here I am." Cody finished his story as Ozpin and Glynda thought for a moment.
"Give us a few minutes Cody... and we'll decide what to do with you." Ozpin said as he and Glynda went back into the viewing room.
Once they left Yurusen finally came out from hiding and sighed heavily. "She scares me..." Yurusen said softly, not wanting her to hear it.
Cody just chuckled. Usually this little guy isn't afraid of anything... But now he does and Cody plans on using that whenever Yurusen teases him.
"Anyways... What do you think they're gonna do? Will they let us go?" Yurusen asked as he turned to Cody.
"Hmm... I believe they will... I told them the truth and what happened. They should have no doubts about it... Sides... I know Ozpin believes me..." Cody said as he looked back at Yurusen.
He on the other hand titled his head a bit. "Really? What makes you think that?" Yurusen asked.
"I don't really know... It's more of... a gut feeling at best." Cody smiled.
"I don't think that helps our situation at all..." Yurusen groaned as he float around the room.
As that happened, Ozpin and Glynda were thinking things through. It was a lot to take in for them.. especially his tale.
Glynda while, believed the part about his training... everything afterwards seemed too far-fetched.
"Ozpin... what should we do? This boy can be serious on that... An Ancient Grimm? While I can understand some Grimm to be very old and powerful... But 13 Grimm's who are even older than that? It can't be true..." Glynda stated as she looked at Ozpin who was deep in thought.
After a few seconds Ozpin then stood up and looked at Glynda. "I believe we should enroll him at the Academy." He answered with a smile.
"As you wish..." Glynda replied. Although she believed this tale to be a farce, and she wanted to argue a bit ore so that they can find a better reason. Ozpin was still in charge and she has never once doubted his actions.
She then began to type away at her device to put him on the next airship to Beacon. And as she did that Ozpin returned to the room to see Cody finishing off the cookies.
Cody stopped as he looked at Ozpin before gulping down the rest of the food he had in his hands.
"So... am I free to go?" He asked Ozpin.
"Yes and no." He replied.
Cody was surprised to hear that answer from him. "See?! What did I tell you? They're gonna lock us up forever..." Yurusen wailed as he floated to the ground in defeat.
"But... I gave you the reason to everything! I prove my innocence! How could you just say that?" Cody asked out, confused and slightly angered.
"Hold on now... You haven't given me a chance to explain myself." Ozpin said before leaning against the table.
"You are free to go... But we would be grateful if you so choose... Instead to enroll at my Academy." Ozpin finished. Making Cody's eye widen even more.
"You... want me to enroll at Beacon?" Cody asked, seeing if this was the right decision?
"Yes... You have quite the skill Cody. You have the burning soul of a Hunter within you. I can see it clearly." Ozpin said before pointing at Cody's chest.
Cody looked down as he placed his hand on his heart, then his shoulder as he rubbed it slightly.
"But.. what about my search? I only have about 93 days now to find the rest of the 15 Eyecon's..." Cody said, concerned that he won't make it due to Becon's life.
"I'll have that take care of. I know a few special contacts that I know we can trust this secret to. They will help find what you need.. And trust me. They are very good at their work... They'll find those in no time. I guarantee you that much. So... what do you say Cody? Want to become a Hunter?" Ozpin asked as he offered his hand to him.
Cody looked at it before looking down at his hand, deep in thought.
If... I do this... then I may get what I need... As well as a bigger purpose to my existence... Cody thought to himself before clenching his fist.
He then looked up at Ozpin as he grasped his hand and shook it. "I'll be glad to join Beacon Academy... And I'm going to have faith in your word sir..." Cody answered with a smile.
Ozpin smiled back as they shook hands. "You'll leave first thing in the morning. And don't worry... we'll have a hotel room for you so that you can rest up. Now you better get going... Alright?" Ozpin stated as he made his way to the door.
Cody smiled and nodded as he followed him through it. It may not have been in my plan... But none the less.. I am very excited to see this place. Cody said to himself as he made his way out the door.
Not too far off from the city, on a small patch of land out past the ocean's of Vale...
There stood a oddly dressed man. Beneath him was what looked like a paper with an eye on it, surrounded by blue rocks and it was submerged in some eerily blue water.
This man then dropped one more ounce of that odd water as it touched the paper eye. After words, the water evaporated along with the paper and rocks burning into ash.
Yet the eye remained as it then blink and sent out two glowing eyeballs. It then morphed into a humanoid like figure. But the body was black savor its blue eyes and eye looking waist.
This man then tossed what looked a spear and a sword. The figures then changed again but the moonlight shrouded their new appearances.
The man chuckled to himself. "Now... since I brought you three here... I can tell you very well.. That their are Eyecon's near by... In Vale to be precise..." He said to then with a grin.
They looked at each other before nodding to one another. They then jumped into the air as they flew off towards Vale.
The man cackled as another figure walked up to him. "They better get the job done... Otherwise out plan will be set back again..." Said the other figure.
"Relax Master Aran... the Ganma will not fail us." Said the benefactor who put away the things he needed to summon those Ganma.
"Hmph.. they better not... Otherwise I will find someone else to do this with..." Aran growled before turning around and walking away.
I will not have my plans foiled again... I will achieve what is mine... Aran said to himself as he disappeared beneath the moon light.
A/N: Hello minna! Hope you enjoyed this chapter? As I said to a few people... this is going to be the chapter on why Cody became Ghost?
Also, Just to let you all know, The Spirits of the Eyecon's like Musashi, Edison and so on... They will have a meaning as to why they exist in Remnant?
I was going to go with the fact that, back when they were alive, these people were the reason fro the advancements in Remnant. Musashi was the reason for people to take up arms against the Grimm, and so on with the other heroes.
I know it doesn't make much sense, but trust me I have a plan for them.
Also I am very sorry for the delay... I know I was supposed to get this out on Sat/Sun. But ADD mixed with procrastination, is a bitch to do...
SO! I decided that from sometime today to tomorrow, you guys will be getting two chapters until Sat for the newest one along with the new ep of Ghost.
So until then, later minna!
