Ozpin seemed to groan as he slammed his head back into the glass table in front of the silver haired huntsman as moments ago, Qrow came through the doors of his office exclaimed that he's found some magical artifact with a spirit attached to it which Ozpin immediately tries to Brain himself against his desk.

Luckily the glass desk was made from Anima Hardened Glass and was a gift from Leonardo, the Headmaster of Haven Academy, and could withstand Ozpin trying to kill himself as well as cursing Qrow silently about bringing him additional bad luck.

Peter Port, the gray haired portly man, who stood by when he heard this has continued to stroke his mustache in obvious thought "Qrow, my friend, where exactly did you find your gold card?" The old huntsman asked.

Qrow looked over at the older huntsman "Well it's the damnedest thing, I was at Juniors club for a drink after the whole mess with Amber-"

"Quite Right" Peter Port, despite his love to ramble about his previous exploits, was just as deep in Ozpin's Inner Circle as Qrow was.

"-Then all of the sudden this gold card just appeared in my drink like 'Wooosh'! Suddenly there so I took the card into the bathroom to wash it because whiskey tends to get sticky after a while-" Qrow had continued with his story which both professors were nodding at.

"Obviously" Peter exclaimed as he too as a whiskey drinker and he knows how sticky it gets if left out.

"-Then suddenly BAM! This white haired guy just appeared out of nowhere and proclaimed me master, I have absolutely no idea what is going on" Qrow finished with his story causing Ozpin to start smashing his head even harder into the glass desk causing spider cracks in it "So Ozpin did you-"

Peter spoke up before Qrow could finish his question to the old wizard "Unfortunately my friend, Dear Ozpin doesn't know the exact origins of these mysterious gold cards given I've found two myself but he did say they hold a smidgen of magical energy much like Amber"

Qrow seemed to nod at this as it made sense because as those who've been born in this era, both are not as privy to magic as Ozpin would.

The old wizard raised his head which started to start bleeding on the somewhat still standing desk "I have to agree gentlemen, the exact nature of these summoning cards allude me but I may have an idea, could I meet your spirit Qrow?"

Qrow seemed to nod and pulled out his own gold card which the intricate design looks to appear to be a man wielding a katana in a battle stance "Come out Nero" a flash of light is seen from the gold and a mysterious white hair man with in a red coat jeans and a blade sheath on his hip, the man opened his eyes "It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Nero, you can also call me Saber if you wish" The man said looking rather tired but overall aware of his situation.

Ozpin pushed up his shades after putting them back on "I see, so how many classes are there ?" The Old Wizard needed to learn more about these servants to try and pass on to James because this could be an opportunity to use them for his war.

Nero seems to narrow his eyes before looking down as if to do math in his head while using his hand for assistance "Well, there are 7 Main Classes but in recent years in other universes, there's been more classes added which means with have a gaggle amount but overall 14-15 give your take" Nero answered honestly as he doesn't trust Ozpin but he has no reason to deny him any answers.

Ozpin nodded yet this proved to be more difficult than initially expected as having a base number of classes would help but having a gaggle with 14-15 full classes, now this was troublesome as he wouldn't know exactly who's meaning skills that could harm Ozpin's plan.

"I see and are you open to discuss your abilities ?" Ozpin asked as he hoped this would help Ozpin get a much clearer idea on how to utilize these spirits to his advantage but unfortunately that aspect is dashed entirely.

Nero shook his head as despite being on what one could consider a nice guy, Nero wasn't open to sharing any of his secrets to anyone "Sorry , that's a secret, something that I'm only willing to share with my master" and in a split moment Nero disappeared back into the golden card.

Ozpin looked flubbed before pushing his shades up again to start pinching the bridge of his nose as despite his many years of charisma and chatting, these spirits seem to not trust him in the slightest even with the basest of their own abilities which did make sense, he initially tried to push them towards his end game which did get many to not trust him, he did accidentally push Taiyang Xio Long away and did so with Raven Branwen too.

Qrow looked flubbed as well "Well that's something, he was all chatty with me when he shared drinks together though even if we did get little information out of this whole nonsense, I've also come to bear news which may seem that my luck is starting to turn around" Qrow exclaimed his actual reason for showing up which did get Ozpin's attention.

"Then do tell my old feathery friend" Ozpin said as he wanted to know exactly what was going on.

"Do you remember me investigating the Arc Clan Massacre all those years ago" Qrow said which Ozpin nodded, he remembered that 10 years ago, the Arc Family, a prominent frontier town family who's has roots in the world of remnant for as long as the Schnee Family did but one night, Ozpin learned they were all killed in one night and it was suspected Grimm was involved but Samual Arc, the patriarch of the family was far to skilled to be defeated by mere Grimm.

So Ozpin initially expected the white gang must've killed the family and used the Grimm as a cover up yet no evidence supported this theory as there was no damage to the house nor spent ammo casings but this could be chalked up for the Faunus Soldiers cleaning up.

"So I've been looking into it in my spare time and I think I found the long lost missing son" Qrow said to the old wizard about his search for the only son of the Arc Family.

This got Ozpin to look up in hope as the Arc's were a powerful family with a large fortune on hand, how did you think they supported 8 children at once(Fan Lore), so if he could find the long lost son, he could get a hand in the fortune and the Arc's Massive Aura Reserves "I see and where is he"

Qrow sighed as he pulled out a flask to then take a swig from it "It's not as easy as you think Ozzie, when I found the kid, I saw him leading a large village, a highly technologically adapted village while being flanked by two battalions of high tech armored soldiers in blue"

Now this has gotten Ozpin's attention as he found this extremely as the formation of a typical militia for multiple villages took around a few years to properly train and equip with even obsolescence military equipment but for a village to suddenly sprout up with high technology and an obviously expert trained soldiers.

This had the mystic tablets written all over it, Ozpin spoke up "So did you try and get close?" Ozpin asked as he hoped Qrow got close to hear anything and Qrow shook his head immediately.

"No, mostly for the fact that the high tech village had extremely scary cannons on the walls that a couple was following me so they must have some form of Atlas Adapted Tracking Technology from one of their airships" Qrow exclaimed that he nearly died from a cannon blast.

Ozpin sighed as he nodded, James Ironwood, the military general of the atlas military would more than likely see this and would try to make contact in hopes to learn of their secret technology to try and push this to help the world "and of James?"

"I heard Jimmy tried to send a few bullheads to make contact and trade with them but I also heard that these cannon defenses blew these bullheads right out of the air" Qrow explained which Ozpin seemed to nod believing that was expected as James didn't hold a subtle bone in his body but now a new kingdom rising up with technology far beyond a typical village and as advanced as atlas, to mystical tablets…something was going on.

Something that Ozpin didn't like.

My apologies I forgot to include Garris's Sheet on the previous chapter so I'll be putting him down here so if anyone has any issues then kindly fuck off.

Peter-

Class: Archer

True Name: Garrus Vakarian

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Source: Mass Effect

Attribute: Star

Parameters

Strength: B

Endurance: A

Agility: B

Mana: D

Luck: C

Class Skills

Independent Action: A+

"When it comes down to it, I don't think I'm a very good Turian. When a good Turian hears a bad order, he follows it. He might complain, but he knows his place. I just don't see the point in staying quiet and polite. Not when the galaxy is at stake.

Garrus chafes under authority that he believes is preventing him from doing what he believes needs to be done. This can lead to him performing reckless actions that can get him severely injured and endanger those around him.

At this rank, the support of a Master is unnecessary even while unleashing a large amount of Magical Energy.

Magic Resistance: D

Though Garrus is a post-modern Heroic Spirit, his repeated exposure to biotics and the strange effects of Reaper technology over his career have provided him with a modest ability to resist magecraft on the level of a protective amulet.

Personal Skill

Calibrations: ?HERROR

"Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations."

Garrus' ability to improve weapons and vehicles is borderline magic on its own, such that he once improved a ship's main cannon beyond what an Al directly linked to the weapon thought was possible (even if it was only by 1/10th of a percent).

Using this skill, he can improved the power of an ally's Noble Phantasm by one rank. Alternatively, he can improve mundane weaponry and vehicles and imbue them with an equivalent level of mystery to an E-rank Noble Phantasm.

Unlike Knight of Owner, this skill is not automatic and takes time to implement.

Mechanized Armor: C

Garrus' armor is a suit of low-grade power armor. Its functions include a motion sensor, Kinetic barriers, medigel applicators, and vacuum sealing. The Kinetic barriers allow him to shrug off physical-based attacks of equivalent or lower rank than this skill. However, energy-based or magic-based attacks bypass it completely.

Prana Burst (Electricity): C

This is not an ability inherent to Garrus' physiology, but rather a power he possesses thanks to his technological gear. His Omnitool is capable of generating and unleashing bursts of electricity into a target at range, possibly stunning them and priming them for a more lethal follow-up.

Sniper: A+

An amalgamation of Clairvoyance and Marksmanship, it denotes the Servant's ability to hit targets at long range with incredible precision, even for the Archer class.

Garrus was one of the most skilled sharpshooters in the galaxy during his lifetime, to the point that if he can see a target, it is practically a guarantee that he can hit it. At this rank, he has a 40% chance to negate Luck-based protections such as Instinct or Eye of the Mind.

If he has not been seen before making the shot, the modifier comes into effect and increases the damage dealt.

Noble Phantasm-

Archangel Omega

Answer to the Cries of the Lost

Rank: At

Type: Anti-Unit (Self)

Maximum Number of Targets: 1

Range: 0

In the two years between Commander Shepard's death and resurrection, Garrus roamed Omega as a dangerous and brutal vigilante with a penchant for inflicting ironic fates upon the unjust. Though he quickly assembled a team of twelve others, it was him that people knew.

Criminals of all stripes quickly came to fear him and the vengeance he wrecked upon them. Innocents and victims came to see him as a protector.

But to all, he seemed a near-supernatural existence, hard to catch and all but impossible to kill.

To those he protected and those he fought, he became known as "Archangel." Though Omega's Archangel "died" long ago, its legacy lives on, powered by the hopes and fears of tens of thousands.

Now summoned as a Heroic Spirit, Archangel lives again, empowered by the mantle he bears once more.

When invoked, Archangel Omega quite literally transforms Garrus into an "Avenging Archangel" similar to that seen in human mythologies. His dark armor turns bright white and sprouts several pairs of wings from his back. His face is enveloped by a full helmet and whatever weapon he is wielding at the time transforms into a flaming sword.

Though he loses much of his finesse with this transformation, he gains several notable boons. When faced with [Evil] or [Criminal! enemies, his parameters are all raised by two ranks and the damage he inflicts against them is doubled. If an enemy that has neither [Evil] nor [Criminal] attributes yet commits an evil or criminal act that he knows about, his parameters raise by one rank and the damage is increased by 1.5.

While transformed, Garrus is under the effect of Information Erasure, allowing "Archangel" to disappear once battle is over until the next time he is needed.

Qrow-

Class: Saber.

Name: Nero.

Parameters

• Strength: A

• Agility: C

• Endurance: B

• Mana: C

• Luck: C

Class Skills

• Magic Resistance: D

• While Nero had not encountered much direct sorcery and most of this trait comes from his class container he has shown some minor resistance to magical effects when he is sufficiently powered.

• Riding: E

• There is no history of him shown to ride beasts nor vehicle but the skill is imparted on him via class container.

Personal Skills

• Self Modification: C+

• Nero's right arm when it grasps an item or body part of sufficient power and compatibility will assimilate the item into Nero himself. These assimilated items will either enhance Nero's statistics or grant Nero new abilities/skills. This skill receives a rank up when dealing with items of a demonic nature as those items show the most resonance with his arm.

• Monstrous Strength: B

• When tapping into his Demonic heritage Nero can increase his strength to greater levels, his right arm being to focus of this increased strength.

• Battle Continuation: B

• Even while impaled or injured grievously Nero has continued to fight his battles.

Noble Phantasm-

• Devil Bringer, Power Seeking Demonic Arm (Anti-Unit): B

• Nero's right arm and the manifestation and focus of his demonic power. Nero can create a spectral construct of varying length and size of this arm to display great feats of strength.

• Enma Katana Yamato, Blade of the Dark Slayer (Anti-Unit): A

• This dark forged katana has been said to cut through anything. Wielded by the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda who used it in battle and to seal a gate to hell the blade fell into possession of his son Vergil, and through a series of circumstance it passed in turn to Vergil's son Nerod. In the hands of a more skillful wielder it could be used to cut through space but Nero only has a rudimentary grasp of its power. For Nero it's most important ability is to allow him to unlock his Devil Trigger. When Nero channels the blades power, he can drastically increase all of his physical parameters as well as allow him to channel his demonic power in the form of a spectral guardian of similar make to the construct produced by the Devil Bringer.
