A Day Around Vale

---

Today was Day 359 for Roxas and his first full day of many that he would experience on Remnant.

And last night had been an unique experience to say the least for the Nobody as he never had to share a bed before.

Penny had been on guard mode for essentially the rest of the night, acting as a deterrent for Evelyn. Their new teammate behaved herself for the most part but was eventually unnerved by how dutifully the redhead had kept an eye on her.

Along with finding out what a Sembalance was, and while he was curious what it was Penny had said that it should be unlocked in time.

The next morning Roxas had discussed with Penny about letting Evelyn know the truth. Figuring about letting her know about as much as they told Ruby as they were going to be teammates in the future. Along with her already having some knowledge from what he told Ozpin and possibly more from when she 'observed him.'

So the Nobody had thought it would have been best to figure out what she had possibly seen and to make sure Evelyn doesn't make a repeat of what happened last night. Something from which Penny agreed with, and had brought up a valid point to discuss with Evelyn after telling her the truth.

Which the Nobody agreed too and lead to the current events.

With Roxas finishing up eating breakfast with Penny sitting next to him at a table in Beacon's mess hall. Sitting across from them was a sullen looking Evelyn who was pouting at what she had to do.

Penny had picked an empty part of the mess hall to clue in Evelyn on the truth about Roxas over breakfast. Something which excited Evelyn a bit at the news, along with her checking the no heart part was true by repeatedly poking him in the chest.

Though her expression promptly soured in what her future teammates had brought up afterwards.

"Fine, I promise." She grumbled out.

"I am afraid that your answer was insufficient for our agreement." Penny said with a pointed look, getting Evelyn to sigh.

Roxas watched a bit worried as Penny had been giving Evelyn a guarded look as she scouted closer to him. He was glad she was protective of him as a friend, he truly is, but surely she didn't need to keep on guard this much does she?

Judging by the way Evelyn looked nervous and exasperated at the behavior Penny was showing. He could guess she felt the same and was nearing her wits end.

"Alright, I promise not to use my Semblance on any of our teammates without consent again. Will that please you enough to lighten up already?!" Evelyn asks throwing her hands up in mock surrender with a pout. It felt like giving up a brand new toy that made her want to play and understand how it works more.

Penny and Roxas had put her up to this agreement for two reasons. The first and mainly Penny's reason was that she didn't want a repeat of last night. The second reason was that the both of them would prefer for Evelyn not pry into for different reasons.

Penny smiled, feeling pleased with herself as she gave a cheerful nod. "Yes, that would be most satisfactory, Evelyn."

"I'm just glad that's over." Roxas sighed out with some relief, only to frown a bit in worry as he notices a grin grow on her face that is aimed at him. "No, I don't want you using your Semblance on me right now."

He hoped that would cut off any ideas she might have had, earning a pout from Evelyn that didn't feel sad, but more... like she knew something they didn't.

"Moouuu, so mean, but I guess it's alright. I actually want to ask you about what I did see when using it on you." Evelyn reveals making Penny look confused and eyed their future teammate warily. What could Evelyn have seen in the time she and Ruby was out getting food for Roxas?

Roxas was worried for the same reasons, Evelyn seems fairly alright, if a bit weird like Xigbar and much prettier. Still, the idea she was poking through his memories could make her wonder on things he wasn't ready to talk about!

"Would you mind telling me what exactly where in the worlds did you found Tinkerbell? I never got to see a real life fairy up close before!" Evelyn asks in excitement as Roxas nervously takes a drink of milk from his glass near his near empty plate except for some eggs and bacon on the side.

It's been a while since he gone to Neverland, but he sure owed that fairy big time for teaching him to fly. She had gotten him out of some nasty situations on that world, but how to explain this to Evelyn and how she couldn't safely travel through the worlds

"A fairy? But that's impossible, no one has documented any proof of their existence on Remnant." Penny states feeling confused as she looks to Roxas for answers and to Evelyn for clarification on why she believes Roxas might know.

"Memories don't lie on what people see and hear. What they see and what they hear is always what's real to them at that point in time." Evelyn states with a smirk as she taps her head in a way he recognized Axel doing in the past when telling people if they "got it memorized". "Like while one person can see a stranger is there, but no one else does, it doesn't mean the guy making that claim is lying. He is only telling what he saw."

"But even still, could Roxas have been seeing things then?" Penny asks feeling worried if her friend has a hallucination problem in his health. Although she knew it was possible for such things on different worlds, the possibility that fairies and other creatures believed to be a myth on Remnant was still difficult for her to process.

"Nope, I saw that fairy pull on his sleeve, nothing imagined could do that and I saw that fairy is why he could fly around the island." Evelyn states as Penny's eyes widen and Roxas frowns. Shit, he had no way out now and could see both wanted answers.

"Well, you see, it's on an archipelago that is very vast and isolated. I don't even know how to get there easily or which island that she would be one once you enter the world. And I believe that Ozpin might have told you about interfering with other worlds." Roxas said, hoping to dissuade her from any idea of going to Neverland at the moment.

"But, he never told me you knew a real fairy!" Evelyn says with a whispered squeal. "What is she like? How many are there? Can you help us see one or are they really on another world?"

"In order I'd say Tink is fairly nice, but I have a hard time understanding her completely. I only seen the one, but I think there might be more, and sadly, she is on another world, but I can not go to another world right now without alerting the Organization where I am. So please do not ask me to take you there right now?" Roxas whispered as Penny and Evelyn nod, the woman with the top hat and rabbit ear pouting at the news.

"Awww, I wanted to see them up close and learn about them too." Evelyn says like a child denied a toy again.

"Is that all?" Roxas asks hopefully, which got shot down as she shook her head in negative.

"One more thing on my mind really..." Evelyn says as she looks at him with a raised eyebrow. "What exactly is your connection to Xion and Sora, Roxas?" Evelyn asks as the Nobody felt his blood freeze at the fact she was aware there is a connection so soon. He barely noticed Penny tensed up as well. "I ask because I noticed not all of the memories I saw belonged to you. Some did, but one time I saw you lying on a bed with seashells next to you and hearing a girl wish you to wake up soon. Were you in a coma or something?"

"I was in one for nearly a month. And that was from Xion." Roxas said knowing it must be her, getting Evelyn to nod.

"Then there was the fact I saw the fairy again, but the voice speaking through the eyes I was seeing the memory from didn't match yours. It sounded very different and younger than you too. He was with what I assume was another's world's version of two Faunus for companions. One dressed like a Knight more or less too." Evelyn says as Roxas simply shrugged, as he had never heard of that part.

Something related to his Somebody. Someone who he never knew and while he would prefer to keep his distance from. But he couldn't help but feel a little curious about him.

"Wait, but that makes no sense, how can you see the memories of three people?" Penny asks confused and trying to make sure her files was saving this information for later review.

"Normally I can't see three people's memories at the same time. As it works on one person's body at a time." Evelyn clarifies which makes Roxas frown as a theory of his own begins to form on her power. "One body? One set of memories, but knowing this logically and remembering what I saw, I can only assume those two must be linked to you. Xion I can tell is someone you care for, while Sora seems to be someone you heard of?"

Roxas looked with Penny for a second before facing Evelyn with a sigh.

"If you can see my memories, then you would know what a Nobody is." Roxas said, beginning to explain what he had been planing to tell Evelyn in the first place.

---

"Amazing, you really do not have a heart." Evelyn said with a grin as she continued to poke his chest, much to Roxas's annoyance.

He had just finished telling Evelyn about his true nature, and his connection to Sora and Xion like he did with Ruby with Penny. But unlike with her, the both of them decided to explain to them about his current merger with Xion's soul. Figuring that there was a chance that Evelyn had observed that particular memory. Something Roxas hoped that she didn't see.

Which turned out to be correct judging by her shock.

However Roxas made. it clear that he was not ready to talk about the circumstances why.

Although Evelyn didn't need her Sembalance to figure out what happened between the two once she learned what a Replica was, before reaching over the table and started to poke Roxas in the chest.

"Evelyn can you please stop poking me in the chest?" The Nobody said with Penny giving their future teammate a pointed look.

"Fine." Evelyn said with a pout before moving back to her seat and grinning. "So we have a full team already with the Replica you can't seem to get out of your mind."

"You got that correct." Roxas said, unsure why Evelyn's grin widened once he said that. Though he quickly dismissed that thought afterwards. "I do not know of a way to separate us or to give her a body at this time. Or for a way for us to properly communicate at this time."

"Even then there is no way to safely separate Xion from Roxas without risking their lives or create a body for her to inhabit currently on Remnant." Penny explained sadly.

It was technically true as there was no recorded method of separating one's soul to another without the subjects being killed to her or attempted knowledge. As any attempts to separate or one's Aura have usually resorted in disaster without the right preparations. Along with Roxas being the first confirmed case of having two sould she could find on Remnant.

Yet factoring in her composition and her uncle's work it was feasible to create a body for Xion. However running the data of what she knew there was no possibility scenario where they could give Xion a sustainable body even if they could split her's and Roxas's soul apart currently.

"And Xion thought as much. Given that the Organization is still after me right now it is best to stay on Remnant and make a new life here, just like she said. Starting with this exam, you said it is in two days right?" Roxas asked Penny, getting her to nod.

"Indeed. Which means that I will need to go down to Vale inorder to pick up the necessary materials Ruby will need for the Dust Distribution system." She said.

Across the table Evelyn grinned as an idea came to mind.

"Then I can show Roxas around. I'm from Mistral but it's not the first time I've been in Beacon or Vale so I can give him the lay of the land." Evelyn said as Penny froze and the Nobody thought over her offer.

"I don't know..." Penny said cautiously. Calculating that there was at least a good precentage that Evelyn might something with Roxas again.

"It will be alright Penny." Roxas said, trying to alleviate his friend's worries. "She has at least promised to behave herself, more or less. That and we are going to be stuck together with her during and after the exam if we become a team."

"So true!" Evelyn said happily.

"And if anything does happen I could always escape in a Corridor of Darkness." Roxas said.

"We'll keep to open spaces with lots of people! And if I hurt him in any way, he can write my name in blood on the asphalt!" Penny said excitedly, horrifying Penny as she processed that exact same scenario happening in her head.

"Don't worry Penny, I am pretty sure she is joking." Roxas said, trying to calm her down.

"Yeah! It's not like he would actually be able to-" Evelyn tried to say, only for Roxas to reach over the table to cover her mouth with his hand.

Giving her a look that could simply be translated 'not helping.'

But to his surprise he heard Penny giggling at their antics. Woth a radiant smile on the gynoid's face.

"Okay you can go." Penny said as she got up from the table.

As she began to walk away, the Nobody noticing one important detail. She hadn't had any breakfast yet.

"Penny what about your breakfast?" He asked as Penny paused and hiccuped before turning to face him.

"Oh don't worry, I will eat something in town. It's just that I want to be at the parts shop at opening hour and I have to go by Ruby first and ask her what she needs so..." Penny said, trailing off before hiccuping once again.

"I see, maybe get some water first and take care Penny." Roxas suggested, getting Penny to nod with a smile.

"I will." Penny said before she hiccuped again. "I will see you later, then."

As Penny walked away Roxas waved her goodbye, before pulling his other hand away from Evelyn as it felt wet.

"You liked me." He said, his tone even.

"You were keeping a hand over my mouth." Evelyn said with a frown.

"You liked my hand." Roxas stated, finding it difficult to believe that it just happened.

Evelyn just grinned at that.

"And it was delicious! Fufufu..." Evelyn said.

The Nobody could only sigh, wishing that he should have told Penny to stay around a little bit longer...

"Well then! Where do you want to see first?" The woman with the top hat and rabbit ear asked.

"I would like to explore Beacon first, it would be best to familiarize myself with the academy first if I am to be spending most of the near future here." Roxas said, getting Evelyn to nod before he got up.

"Wait what about your breakfast, are you finished already?" She asked, looking between her plate and Roxas's nearly empty one.

"I am, Nobodies like myself don't really need to eat all that much like a human normally should. At least as far as I know. I could go for about two days alone on what I had just eaten. I think Penny described it as having a slower metabolism due to lacking a heart." Roxas said as he sat back down at the table. "But I suppose I should finish this, it does taste good and it would be a waste otherwise."

Evelyn looked between him, her half finished plate, and his near empty plate before pouting.

"Lucky." She grumbled out as she went to finish her breakfast.

---

After breakfast Evelyn had began to lead Roxas right out of the mess hall when they ran into someone neither one expected to run into.

"Heya, headmaster!" Evelyn called up, waving to Ozpin who had a steaming mug in his hand.

"Good morning Miss Damerot, Roxas. Is there anything I can do for you?" Ozpin sip as he took a sip from his drink.

Normally he would have enjoyed it in his office right now, but sadly the machine needed to be replaced and had to get it from the kitchen.

"Nothing at the moment, Evelyn was just about to show me around Beacon." Roxas said honestly, getting the Headmaster to nod.

"Wanted to become closer with me teammate and other stuff." Evelyn said with a grin. "Speaking of which, any news on when our final member is going to show, hopefully before the exam."

The Headmaster of Beacon just shook his head as took another sip of his drink.

"Unfortunately certain circumstances have come up. She will join the three of you on the day of the exam." Ozpin said, getting Evelyn to pout and Roxas to nod. Just content to learn a bit more about his future teammate.

"Hmm, too bad! I wanted to observe her a bit before the exam!" Evelyn exclaimed. The Nobody sighed, figuring that she would react like that.

"Evelyn no, you promised no to." He sighed out.

"Just a little bit? She won't even notice!" Evelyn protested to no avail.

"She is our future teammate, so it still counts." Roxas stated.

"No it doesn't! She won't be our teammate yet until we meet her! I just have to do it before we speak words to each other!" Evelyn argued back.

"It is wonderful to see the two of you getting along so well." Ozpin said, cutting off any more arguments that might have occured between the two. "One of the most important bonds you'll make at Beacon is the one with your teammates. All hunters and huntresses remain tied to their teammates in one way or another after graduation. hunters and huntresses are also supposed to become paragons of strength, staunch pillars of support for Remnant, able to stand against the tides of darkness. Very much in the same way a Keyblade wielder is for the worlds against the Heartless." He added while facing Roxas, getting the Nobody to nod in understanding.

The Headmaster took another sip of his drink before looking at both Roxas and Evelyn.

"But no matter if it is a student, a hunter, a huntress, or a Keyblade wielder it is when they all come together that they can overcome the greatest of adversities." He said, getting the both to nod.

"Naturally! Thanks for the pep talk, headmaster!" Evelyn said, before she grabbed Roxas's arm and tried to drag him away. "Come on Roxas. We've have an entire school to see!"

"Alright, just stop trying to drag me." Roxas said as he pulled his arm away from her.

"Roxas before you go there is a record of a Keyblade wielder that was on Remnant in ancient times. Although the story is a legend, perhaps there is something in there that you can learn from or might be interested. It should arrive at the library in a few days incase you are interested." Ozpin said, getting Roxas to nod.

While it was probably as Ozpin had said and was just a legend, the Nobody will admit to being curious of Keyblade wielders. So at the very least it will be interesting to learn about.

"Then I suppose I will check it out when it gets here." Roxas said.

"Come on, let's go already!" Evelyn said, proceeding to try and drag away Roxas once again.

"Take care you two. And remember if you ever need guidance my doors are always open for students in need." Ozpin said to Evelyn and Roxas as thet disappeared down the halls.

When they were gone Ozpin sighed out as he pulled out his scroll and took another sip of his drink. Finishing up the details to his report to the Council of Vale and suggestions for currently active hunters and huntresses to undergo and exploration into Vale.

With the data provided by Miss Polendina and Ironwood the origin of meteorite that would have originally crashed into Vale had Roxas unfortunately collided with it. It was narrowed down too a point a few hour northeast of Vale by Bulkhead as Miss Polendina had calculated.

Unfortunately there was still a great swath of mountainous and Grimm invested territory in the projected area. With the nearest inhabited settlement and drop zone being 10-15 kilometers south of the projected area. Any other settlements that lied within the project area were long since abandoned due to Grimm, natural disasters, or proved to be too inhospitable for longterm occupation. Still it will provide shelter during the team's exploration of the area.

The Council will provide them with enough resources for a two week excursion into the projected area, which to the Headmaster of Beacon seemed like. a little short of time. But that was probably the best he was going to get out of the Council given how stubborn they usually are.

Still this whole situation had Ozpin on edge.

With the truth of the Organization being revealed, he could understand why Roxas told them the bare minimum of information with the necessary gaps filled in by Ironwood's source.

So it was safe to say his choice to enroll the Nobody in Beacon was the correct option at the moment as he genuinely wished to have a new start, but will be keeping a close eye on his actions for a little bit. But he and his allies will keep an eye open for Organization XIII if they discover this world along with preparing for any Heartless if they do return.

And as for the possible origin of the meteorite Ozpin still had no idea.

It could have been for Salem, but this brazen method of attack was not among her usual methods. Along with what would she accomplish from dropping a meteorite in the middle of the morning in Vale?

It could have been a separate group, but this didn't seem like something the White Fang would or could be able to do. Nor what other such criminal groups such as the rumored Crown in Vaccuo had the resources to pull of such an attack.

The worst case scenario was this was a complete unknown to Ozpin, something the headmaster dreaded nearly as much as Salem.

Either way it seemed like threats were starting to gather at his doorstep.

And if things continued to get worse...then maybe it was about time to call a dusty old crow back to it's roost.

---

Evelyn had taken Roxas to the Beacon's library first, but had to turn away as it was currently closed for cleaning before the semester started again. So she decided to try and drag the Nobody to another location. This time of her own chosing.

"Evelyn I was here with Penny yesterday training." Roxas said as they were currently in the amphitheater, but from what he could sense they would not be alone for long as nearby he could sense two strong heart nearby.

Both were pretty strong and balanced, although one of them was only close to matching Ozpin's, Ironwood's, and Glyndia's. One of them was radiating a fierce, burning light, and the other was a curious thing to the Nobody. Like Ozpin it seemed to have a depth to it, yet it wasn't much and was.more closer to the surface of their heart, so to speak.

"Figured as much, from what I hear it is the most popular training spot at the school." Evelyn said, breaking Roxas out of his musings. "Not at lot of place you can be free to go all out in."

"I figure, given you Penny gave me a crash course yesterday on fighting. She put up a better fight then most of the Heartless I have faced before. The open space is a.big help for that" He said honestly while Evelyn nodded happily.

"Exactly! Given your experience with the Heartless you should know what a battle against Hunters and Grimm can become! Perfect place to train against someone, that is if you can find it empty that is." Evelyn said with a grin, which was promptly wiped from her face as an explosion was set off behind her.

Roxas was prepared to summon his Keyblades until he realized the source was from the two hearts he had sensed earlier.

The source was from a pair of young women about Evelyn's age engaging in an all out spar between each other.

One of them had a mane of long blonde hair, a voluptuous form that beat out Evelyn's, and a pair of yellow gauntlets that were firing out explosive projectiles at her opponent.

The other one was a tall woman with long red hair set back in a pony tail, an outfit similar to ones he had seen a few times at Olympus Coliseum, and wielding a spear and shield in a manner that far outclassed anyone the Nobody had seen wielding a weapon before.

Both of them were engaged in a all out spar all over the amphitheater. Neither side taking notice of anything outside of their battle except for what the other side was doing. Looking for any opening and. how use it, along with how to counter their opponent. Using every advantage they had on or around them against one another.

To Roxas it was quite the sight to be hold.

Having only really experienced such fighting between himself and against Saïx, Xion, Riku, Xigbar, and Penny. And minus the last one all of them were him fighting for his life. The rest of the time were pretty much fighting the Heartless and they operated on instinct alone.

Still to see such a fight without worrying about life and limb, as just a friendly spar he couldn't help but enjoy the sight before him.

Yet he was quickly shaken out of it as Evelyn tried to drag him away.

"Come on Roxas, exit is stage left!" His future teammate said as continued to drag him away.

Roxas easily pulled himself out of her grip. Confused on why she would do so.

Until the Nobody saw that the two young women were dragging their sparring session closer and closer. Seemingly not noticing that they would soon drag their observers into the frey with them.

"Lead the way then." Roxas sighed out as he began to calmly walk towards the exit.

"You do not need to tell me twice." Evelyn said as she scurried after him and out of the arena.

---

After that incident in the amphitheater, Evelyn decided that their next location would be significantly more...mundane.

"Here is a classroom. You're going to be spending a lot of time in here!" Evelyn said as she lead the Nobody to a room with rows of large desks and multiple seats at each one going from the front to the back, lower elevation to higher elevation.

At the very front of the room was a large round wooden desk which Roxas guessed belonged to the teacher and a large blackboard to the back.

"Given that I still have a lot more to learn about Remnant." He said, getting her to nod with a smile.

"Then you should not skip any lessons then. You seem to pick things up quick, but without learning everything about the job of a Hunter and Remnant you are going to have a looooot of trouble in the field." Evelyn said, exaggerating the 'lot' with a smirk. Before she quickly dropped it. "Although you do need to work up on your social interactions. You might have had plenty of practice with Axel and Xion, but you don't have much experience with those who are not lacking a heart or with a full set of emotions?"

"Not all that much until yesterday with Penny that is." Roxas said truthfully.

The only real social interactions he had outside of the Organization was to gather information, with Genie while in Agrabah, and training under Phil in Olympus Coliseum.

So the Nobody didn't really have much experience normal interactions outside of Axel, Xion, and now Penny he supposed.

Evelyn pinched the bridged of her nose and sighed out for a bit before it turned into a grin.

"Well then how about having Evelyn-sensei teach you what you need to know. Between me and Penny I am pretty sure we can get you blending in with the first years in no time. If you ever need to know anything just make a note to ask Evelyn-sensei and I'd be happy to answer, okay?" Evelyn asked, getting Roxas to nod.

"I will." Roxas said.

"Good now with your fighting experience you are easily going to kick ass with the best of them! But you still need something else if you are going to Beacon and I have the perfect tool for the job!" Evelyn said as she reached for her top hat.

She pulled at the rim and fitted her left hand into her hat to pull out a tablet similar to the one Ironwood had used yesterday. Evelyn lowered her hat and handed Roxas the device.

"This is a Scroll. I think that it'll be a big help to keep track of all the new stuff you will learn and a lot of nifty features to use!" Evelyn said as Roxas inspected the device and turned it one.

"But this isn't your Scroll?" Roxas asked, getting her to shake her head with a grin.

"Nah, I got mine in my pocket. This is a spare one I, uhm, found." She said, sounding a little nervous at the end

The Nobody decided it was best not to ask where she got it from.

"Do you always carry a spare Scroll up there?" Roxas asked, pointing at her top hat.

"Nope! So count yourself lucky! Anyway let Evelyn-sensei teach you how to use a Scroll!" Evelyn said as she moved next to Roxas and began to point out various features on the Scroll.

---

It took Evelyn 10 minutes for her to have brought the Nobody to a level where she can safely say he could efficiency use the basics of a Scroll just as easily as the average teenager.

Although she had to spent half of that teaching Roxas what the internet was.

That was something she was expecting on having to explain at all to...well anyone really. But then again he was from a different world and only a year old. Perhaps they didn't have the internet on any world he had been to.

Anyway after teaching Roxas how to use a Scroll it was decided they would hit the dormitories next.

"So you got the path back to our dorm memorized?" Evelyn said with a with grin, tapping a finger against her head like Axel once again.

Roxas just sighed at her action as they stopped in a large open room in the middle of the hallway. The walls pushed back and lined with multiple sofas and a few dressers in the corners.

"I did." Roxas said, before he began to think of something. "You said these were the first year dorms?"

"That's right, this side of Beacon holds the dorms for both first and second years!" Evelyn said.

"And Penny told me there are four years at Beacon. So where are the dorms for the third and fourth years?" He asked.

The smile on Evelyn's face was quickly replaced by a look of confusion. She stood there for a few moments as she comtaplated his question.

"Huh..." She breathed out. "Where are they indeed?"

"So you don't know?" Roxas asked, getting Evelyn to nod as she adopted a thinking position on one of the sofas.

"To be honest I don't think I have ever seen any student other that isn't a first year...and only a few second years." Evelyn muttered out.

"And there are supposed to be four years here." Roxas said, getting his future teammate to nod.

"Yeah! But I have never seen any third or fourth years during my trips here!" Evelyn said, getting Roxas to nod.

"Perhaps they have a different schedule for place for the upper years? That or no one from those years has returned yet?" Roxas guessed.

He had never been to a school before and Evelyn had no idea either. Maybe it was just something practiced at Beacon for the senior years.

"Maybe." Evelyn said with a shrug before she jumped up from the sofa. "Anyway this is where most of the first years like to gather from time to time. If you do make any new friends I am pretty sure you can find them here if not in their dorms during the school day. That or just about anywhere else in Beacon."

"I'll keep that in mind." The Nobody said with a small smile.

"Good now there is one more spot on this tour before we hit Vale!" Evelyn declared as she began to walk down the halls with Roxas following her towards their last destination.

---

Where they went was somewhere Roxas should have expected after the amphitheater.

"We were already here this morning." Roxas said as Evelyn lead him back to the mess hall.

"I know, but learning where to get food is always important!" Evelyn said. "Besides bucko students can earn some lien here. I don't know about tuition, but it seems like the headmaster has a particular interest in you. But you do need to payback Ruby for working on that project for you, even if it is for cookies! Besides wouldn't you want to get something to repay Penny, right!"

"True, not sure how money can be exchanged for lien and I do need to pay back Ruby." Roxas said, while also thinking about Penny.

She had helped him so much, more so then just about anyone he has known in his life. And all she wanted was to help her friend, something he appreciated greatly. But maybe it would be nice to find something for her. He would have to figure out something for her though.

"Well then I would suggest talking with the headmaster about that, otherwise maybe hit a few pawnshops in Vale if possible. Also besides earning some granola everyday you work, it can also help you learn how to cook! Imagine making as much sea salt ice cream as you want!" Evelyn said, getting Roxas to nod.

He would have to figure out what to do with his munny, the Nobody had more then what he knew to deal with. So figuring out a way to convert it to lien would be a big help.

That and the prospect of making his own sea salt ice cream was a good point. He had had enough in his short lifetime that the Nobody was confident he could easily recreate it.

"Guess I will give it a try if we can clear the enterance exam." Roxas said, getting Evelyn to nod.

"True, but you are going to also need this!" Evelyn said as she lifted up her top hat and reached in. Only to frown as she rummaged through it, only to get no results. "Come on I knew I had one in here somewhere!"

She lifted her top hat up a little further and Roxas could clearly see that there was another rabbit ear under her hat.

"Here it is!" Evelyn declared as she pulled her hand back and tossed something to Roxas.

He quickly caught the object and saw that it was more like a thin plastic card, about as big a fingernail. Bringing it closer to his eye he saw what looked to be wiring.

"What is this?" Roxas asked as he continued to inspect the device.

"It's a digital wallet, it connects to your Scroll. You'll need somewhere to stash your lien, no?" Evelyn said.

Once again he decided that it was not a good idea to ask where his future teammate where she got it. For all he knew Evelyn could have found it lying around.

And judging by her grin, that probably was the case.

Still it was better not to ask. At least he had a way to manage his lien now.

"Well then, let's go! We got a city to explore!" Evelyn said as she adjusted her hat with care over one of the rabbit ears and the other...

Wait did it just twitch...

"I said let's go!" Evelyn said to him.

"So those are rabbit ears." Roxas said, getting Evelyn to pause and stare in shock.

She stated at him for a few moments, her expression quickly turning to aghast and then into a sigh.

"Right you are not from Remnant. But considering all that you saw that you would be used to things like this..." Evelyn muttered out before sighing once again as Roxas looked at her curiously. "Come here."

Evelyn quickly closed the distance between herself and the Nobody and grabbed a hold of his right hand. Leading it up to her exposed rabbit ear.

"What are you-" Roxas was trying to ask before she placed his hand in her ear and stopped in his tracks.

It felt soft...

Curiously Roxas traced his fingers alongside the fur covered side of Evelyn's ear. Besides feeling soft it felt warm and a little rough as he could feel it twitch in his hand.

"See." Evelyn said, getting Roxas to nod as his curiousity took over as he brought his fingers along the edge of her ears and to the leather like skin on the other side.

Her face started to turn red and started to shake as the Nobody brought both hands to inspect the appendage. Running his left hand over the fur covered side and his right hand over the underside of her ear.

"H-Hey! Knock it off!" Evelyn stuttered out, breaking Roxas out of his stupor as his hands brushed against where her ear met her scalp.

Roxas let go of her ear and pulled back as Evelyn tried to shove him away. She grabbed her ear with her hands and jumped away from him. Trying to hide her ear with her hairs. Her face a scarlet red and breathing heavily as she tried to calm herself down.

"What's the big idea, playing with someone's ears like that?!" Evelyn demanded.

It was at that point that Roxas realized he might have gotten carried away.

"Sorry about that Evelyn, I never experienced anything like that before." Roxas said, getting Evelyn to look at him for a few moments before sighing.

"I know my ears are awesome, but try not to get so carried away next time. Especially in public. Especially when touching someone's Faunus traits like that in public without their permission. Got it?" Evelyn said.

"Got it." The Nobody said as he did notice while there wasn't that many students in the mess hall, their eyes had been on the two of them. But it seem like most of them had returned back into what they were doing before the commotion started.

"Good, let's go then." Evelyn said as she started to walk out of the mess hall and Roxas following behind her.

"I take it that all Faunus have animal like traits?" Roxas asked, getting his future teammate to nod.

"That's right, remind me to tell you more about the Faunus later!" She said, the Nobody nodded and pulling out his Scroll.

Doing what she told him earlier and making a note to ask Evelyn-sensei about what the Faunus were later.

"Oh and Roxas." Evelyn said as he put his Scroll away. Seeing a smirk on her face. "Next time all you need to do is ask."

What did she mean by that?

---

"I wanted him to pet them some more..." Xion said while pouting in the Dive to the Heart.

She had enjoyed the phantom feelings of just how soft Evelyn's ears were before he had to stop.

The Replica just sighed at that and went back to working on how to talk to Roxas and possibly everyone else whenever she wanted.

---

"Alright enough of exploring the school, let's hit the town!" Evelyn said as she lead Roxas to the school's docking area. With a Bullhead about to leave for Vale.

"So I take it we are going to have lunch in Vale?" Roxas said with Evelyn nodded.

"Of course, my treat!" The rabbit Faunus said happily before pausing. "Wait can't you take us there with that Corridor thing you can do?"

"I only have one Black Coat. Otherwise it wouldn't be all that safe for either one of us." Roxas said, getting her to sigh.

"Fine, let's get on the Bullhead than." Evelyn grumbled out as the two of them walked to the Bullhead.

---

About 20 minutes later the pair of soon to be Hunters in training were walking down the a large street lined with shops, apartments, house, and a few skyscrapers as far as the eye could see.

"This is Main Street, the proverbial heart of Vale. It runs from it's north end and all the way down to the southern most point of the city." Evelyn said to Roxas as he continued to take in the sights of Vale. "There are a lot of shops. If you are looking for something to buy or just want to get a bite to eat, Main Street is the place for you. However the shops here mainly sell everything common. If you want to find anything more specialized, those shops are scattered around the city instead. To find them you need to know where to look."

"Which shouldn't be too hard for me, it was literally one of the first things I learned in the Organization." Roxas said, thinking of the time he worked with Vexen.

Say what you will about the older Nobody, but he certainly knew his stuff. Teaching him how to analyze the environment around him and how to use it. Saved him plenty of times from the Heartless...and Xion.

It still proved to be useful as he identified and memorized potential spots to open a Corridor of Darkness into Vale if needed.

"That is certainly a useful skill to have." Evelyn said with a nod before stopping at a sign just off of Main Street, saying a detour.

Roxas was confused for a moment as Evelyn grinned and drew closer to him.

"That is the way to Market Street. Right now it is currently closed due to renovations in the center of the Market District." The rabbit Faunus said as she drew closer to him and whispered in his ear. "And I wonder why that is~!"

"I was unconscious at the time and I could have fallen anywhere. At least it seems like no one was hurt and according to Penny it could have been a whole lot worse." Roxas sighed out, getting Evelyn to nod with a slight chuckle.

"True, consider yourself lucky no one was hurt...well except for you that is." Evelyn said.

"I would not consider that luck, the past few days have been quite the ordeal." Roxas sighed out, getting Evelyn to frown for a moment before sighing.

"Well at least you can put it behind you for now." Evelyn said with a grin as Roxas nodded in agreement. "Anyway back to the tour! Basically on Main Street you can find just about anything for the small stuff and the perfect place to take someone on a date!"

"What do you mean by that?" Roxas asked, getting Evelyn to chuckle.

"Right, you don't have enough of a social interaction or experience to know! Don't worry I will teach you everything soon enough." She said with a teasing grin. "Besides you are both good looking and socially awkward enough I am sure you can find one in no time!"

Roxas processed what she said for a few moments before sighing.

"I think I understand a little bit better now, but now I can say that you are about as blunt as Xigbar now." The Nobody said flatly, getting Evelyn to laugh a little.

"Saw a bit of him through you, he is a bit of an asshole. But he certainly knows how to mess with people." Evelyn said happily. "Anyway let's continue the tour then tiger!"

"Please don't call me that." Roxas said.

"I make no promises!" Evelyn said as the resumed their track down Main Street.

---

"So where are we going now?" Roxas asked as Evelyn lead him down a side street.

There really didn't seem to be much down here except for a few shops and restaurants.

"This, my friend is a shortcut to one of the must-know places in Vale!" Evelyn said, briefly surprising Roxas as he couldn't tell if she was being genuine or joking. But he didn't get to ask as her mood turned sour.

"That is if they weren't done renovating it." She grumbled out.

She hadn't been there in forever, it was a pretty good nightclub except the decour could use some work.

She tried to find that place the last two times she had been in Vale, but it had been closed.

The first time had been due to repairs and most of the staff recovering from a crazed blonde according to rumors. The second time she was a day late as had closed down due to the owner deciding to make some major renovations on the interior.

According to rumors he was getting tired of the decour and wanted to make sure it was sturdy enough to survive anything like the crazed blonde deciding to strike again.

Still it looks like that she would still have to wait at least another month before it opened back up.

"And where exactly is that?" Roxas asked, while internally supposing he could consider Evelyn a friend at this point.

She was basically like like a genuinely kinder Xigbar with her mannerisms instead of unsure of what the true intentions behind his words were. Considering that they were going to be teammates and everything he had seen this far, the Nobody supposed that she would count as a friend.

"Hmm, you're still not ready to know. Way too green, naive, and young to know!" Evelyn teased, getting Roxas to sigh as he should have known better.

Honestly he was going to guess she just brought him here as to both show him a shortcut and tease him.

Though he noticed that she grew silent and sighed once something caught her eye.

Following her gaze he saw at the enterance to an alleyway was a faded white mark on one of the walls. It looked worn away but it looked like claw marks.

"Looks like the White Fang were here in this area." Evelyn said shaking her head. Judging by how faded the mark on the wall no one has met here in quite sometime.

"What is this White Fang?" Roxas asked.

Figuring that it was possibly something to be concerned about judging by her tone.

"Well it is a long story, but I suppose I can give you a brief summery before we resume our tour. Just make a note in your Scroll about it. Cute bunny owes me a history lesson!" Evelyn said with a smile. Only to be surprised when Roxas pulled his Scroll out."You're actually making a note of it?"

"That is what you said for me to do earlier. Besides I need to learn as much of Remnant as I can." He said as Evelyn noticed that he had already made a s few notes.

"What a good student!" She laughed out. "Evelyn-sensei is pleased!"

The Nobody just tilted his head in confusion, not exactly sure on how to respond.

"Alright then, what is the main difference between a human and a faunus?" Evelyn asked.

"A faunus has an animal like trait." Roxas said, getting her to nod.

"Well technically we also have some animal related traits which are less obvious and depends on the type of faunus. Like my cute and soft ears, I have better hearing and they make me look adorable. Along with every single Faunus are capable of seeing in the dark." Evelyn said, getting Roxas to nod.

"Though I haven't really noticed any other Faunus around though." He said.

"Well you haven't been in Remnant for more then a day and Beacon is still mostly empty. Perhaps you did encounter one, but there are some faunus whose traits are smaller and easy to cover or less apparent like their eyes." Evelyn said, getting the Nobody to nod as she continued. "Then again we're not as numerous as humans and most faunus prefer to keep themselves scarce. A lot prefer to live outside of the four kingdoms."

"So areas where I guess there would be more Grimm activity. Why would they live there?" Roxas inquired.

"Racial tensions. Just think that the last big international incident on Remnant was about a bunch of big-wigs gathering up all fauni and shipping us off onto a fish-shaped island. Out of sight and out of mind. It's even called Menagerie too! It was supposed to be a 'gift' after the Great war, buuuut not everyone fell for it." Evelyn said shocking Roxas.

"Why...why would anyone do anything like that?" Roxas asked, never hearing of anything like that during his short life.

The thought of displacing an entire race of people for one reason or another was completely foreign to him. The closest thing he could consider was Saïx's distance for Xion for being a Replica.

But than again he was pretty much like that for almost everyone in the Organization, but it was a bit more prevalent with her.

"Considering that you have seen anthropomorphic animals, fairys, monsters, and whatever Phil is across multiple worlds. You don't even have a hateful bone in your body for Xion and she was created to absorb you. Then again you do hold some hatred to that blue-haired asshole and rightly so." Evelyn said, correctly guessing what the Nobody was thinking about.

"Him and Xemnas for what they did to us. And Phil is a satyr." Roxas sighed out. "But really, why would they do that. From the sounds of it a human and faunus are practically the same with a few differences?"

"The same could be said between you and a human Mr. Nobody." Evelyn said with a smile. "Back in the days of all rocks and loinclothes we might have had a small advantage, but nowadays we are just about even. Still to be fair the city of Vale and a good portion of the kingdom is almost completely integrated nowadays, but that is not the norm. Especially with the whole thing with the Schnee Dust Company."

"I see, but still why though? And what does this White Fang have to do with this?" Roxas said as he pointed to the faded mark on the wall.

"It's an even longer story and make another note in your Scroll. We have a tour to get back to." Evelyn said as she turned away from him and began to walk away.

Roxas just sighed as he took one last look back at the mark and swore he dealt something before following after the rabbit faunus.

He still had to wonder why there was such tension on this world between the humans and faunus to begin with, but perhaps it was something that his understanding would develope the longer he stayed on Remnant.

Besides he wouldn't probably understand it anyway.

He was a Nobody. Neither belonging to the light and dark, and is neither a human or a faunus.

As he began to follow Evelyn, unnoticed to Roxas he was being watched by a black haired young woman with golden eyes. The black bow atop her hair as she eyed both Roxas and Evelyn curiously before turning her attention to the White Fang mark on the wall.

---

"Just like a kid in a candy shop." Evelyn chuckled to herself as the Nobody expected the window, eyeing the different kinds of Dust on display.

After finishing on walking down on the side street, Evelyn began to lead Roxas to a nice little cafe across a small park a bit of the ways off of Main Street.

Evelyn decided that it was probably a bad idea to put off eating lunch for teasing the Nobody a little.

Was it worth it, yes!

Did she regret it, also yes!

So she was a bit upset when she promptly heard Roxas's footsteps stop. Which was lifted once she saw him looking at the Dust in the store's window with interest.

It was like a kid in a candy shop, except he was literally the age of a kid with the body of a teen...everything beyond Remnant was weird. And she loved it.

Evelyn was planning on showing Roxas this Dust shop after lunch, but there wasn't any better time than the present.

"This here is From Dust Till Dawn, the oldest Dust shop in the city of Vale and the only one allowed to keep it's name after a Schnee Company merger! At least in the kingdom. Currently finishing renovations." She said getting Roxas to nod as he looked away from the window.

"Got it, but what is this Schnee Company? You mentioned it before when talking about the Faunus." He inquired.

"The Schnee Dust Company is the biggest Dust trader in all of Remnant. They owe about 70% precent of all operations concerning Dust in the world. Extraction, refining, wholesale, retail, ect. They got it all. It's a family business, and since the second generation came into power they got into RD in collaboration with the Atlas military. Along with expanding it's reach into a few other industries like toothpaste and sodas." Evelyn explained, surprising the Nobody.

He didn't expect a business like that on this world.

Sure he knew that the Moogles ran businesses across worlds and specialist in different items, but they had at least one shop on worlds from what he heard from the one on The World That Never Was. Though he couldn't find any shop on another world and that Moogle promptly followed him to Twilight Town once he left the Organization.

Still the Schnee Dust Company sounded like they held a lot more influence, on a world wide scale anyway and a lot more versital with there products. Outside of Dust that is.

"They sound pretty important on Remnant, but since you mentioned them when talking about what happened with the Faunus I take it they don't really care that much about what happens to others?" Roxas asked, getting Evelyn to frown.

"They are indeed very powerful and not all of their business practices are what you would call ethical. Especially with Mr. Cilp-on Tie at the head if it all " She said, getting Roxas to nod.

Though he was confused on the clip-on tie remark. Perhaps it was just an insult towards the head of the company.

"So I take it that it is best not to cross them." He said.

"That is the sensible thing to do, yeah. I like to cross them as much as I can!" Evelyn said with a grin, getting the Nobody to sigh as he should have seen that response considering how she had been acting all day.

He went back to looking at the Dust when he noticed something on the wall outside of the shop.

Walking closer he noticed that it was a flyer. A job offer for a part time position at the Dust shop, specifically listing that any training in defending oneself is a preferred skill for the evening shifts. No previous experience in handling Dust required for any shift.

"Well look at this, another prospective job! So are you going to take it?" Evelyn said.

"Perhaps, it is something that I would keep in mind." Roxas said,

It was something to consider, he was interested in Dust and the effects it had with his Keyblades. So he might check it out sometime later. If not at least he should check up on the Dust they might have on stock.

"Anyway let's continue the tour, there is a nice little cafe a little ways from here and I would prefer to move on now." Evelyn said as she began to walk away.

"Is this because you didn't get lunch earlier?" Roxas asked as he followed after her.

"Yes!" Was all Evelyn said as she quickened her pace.

Roxas sighed as he followed after his future teammate and newest friend on Remnant as she turned a corner.

And briefly glance at a white haired girl he had sensed with one of the strongest hearts he had encountered here on Remnant. Before continuing on his way after Evelyn.

---

Weiss Schnee looked back at the Faunus who wore the most confusing case of clashing colors she had ever seen. Despite that her outfit was quite well tailored, even the patches of color that stung her eyes.

The Schnee herself just sighed to herself and shook of her thoughts as she approached From Dust Till Dawn.

"My custom order should have arrived..." Weiss mused to herself as she entered the Dust Shop.

---

Evelyn was quite amused at the sight before her.

The sun was starting to go down by the time they reached the cafe. Evelyn had gotten her lunch, though Roxas really wasn't that hungry.

Though when it came to desert she had to admit he had quite the sweet tooth, well mixed with sea salt of course.

"What did you say this flavor was called?" Roxas inquired, before looking between the salt shaker and his ice cream.

"Neopolitan! A delicious patchwork of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate for the price of one flavor! Though normally you wouldn't put sea salt on it though!" Evelyn said as she took another bite of her own ice cream.

"Guess you are right about this." Roxas said as he put down the salt shaker. "Shame there isn't any sea salt ice cream here."

"And they were out of salted caramel, you would have especially loved it. Better luck next time I suppose." Evelyn said, getting Roxas to nod as he took another bite of his ice cream.

Well it wasn't sea salt ice cream, the flavor was pretty good overall.

"So what do you think about Remnant so far?" Evelyn asked.

"It's interesting to say the least. The concepts of Dust and Grimm especially.I would say that you and Penny have been a big help in helping me out with everything." He said, getting the rabbit faunus to grin as she took another bite of her ice cream.

Speaking of Penny...

"Do you have any idea were Penny might be?" Roxas asked Evelyn.

"She is probably helping Ruby working on that Dust distribution system for you." She said after taking in another spoonful of ice cream.

"You are probably right. I wonder how that is going right now?" The Nobody mused out as he took another bite of ice cream and watching the sun starting to go down.

---

Ruby Rose groaned out as she put the finalizing touches on the Dust distribution system.

"I can't believe that I spent all night and day working on this..." Ruby groaned out as she continued to work on it.

She had wanted to stop, but the ideas just kept coming and coming!

So many ideas for weapons she could fit and other necessities she could put into the Dust distribution system before she had already worked on the base and settled onto a design by the time Penny arrived.

Probably for the best too.

With how many weapons she had planned to add in there, even her sister would find it a little difficult to fight effectively with them.

Maybe she could-

Ruby quickly shook her head at that. She was overworked as it was right now!

Still she could work on those ideas at a later time...

Anyway it was nice to talk to Penny and what parts she needed and to slip in a little break once she left.

She had finished the majority of the outside. and adding in a few features that she could not resist adding in.

Penny did say that she could use add in any features she thought necessary, and Ruby thought that they were completely necessary.

That was the easy part. Working on the internal part of the weapon was the hard, most important, most time consuming, and her least favorite parts of constructing a weapon. But she would prefer for them to not explode after putting so much work into them.

"Aah, why am I doing this to myself?! These didn't need to be done til Sunday!" Ruby cried out before going back to work.

Barely even hearing the door open and closing to her team's room.

"Whew!" Yang said as she wiped some sweat off her brow. "Hey Ruby. Still working on that thing."

"Hey Yang. Yes I am, like a moron. I am almost done though." Ruby groaned out, getting her older sister to come closer to see what she was doing.

"Hmm, our little pushover. So is it at least a good one?" Yang asked.

"Of course it's a good one! I'm me, remember?" Ruby snapped back. Indignant that her skills in weapon making were called into question!

"Aaaaaand you're severely sleep deprived. You sure this thing will not blow up some poor guy's arms?" Yang questioned.

"Of course not! At least 90% no..." Ruby admitted.

Before a wire sparked a little.

"Make that 85% no..." Ruby said as she began to fix that issue.

"I see." Yang said as she drew closer to. her younger sister.

Once she certain that Ruby had fixed that wire and moved onto something else, Yang picked her up. The leader of Team RWBY let out an indignant cry as her older sister slung her over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Yang! Let me down!" Ruby cried out as she tried to break lose, but to no avail.

"Only on your bed, you damn wiz kid. Get some rest and then finish working on that weapon, okay? For the sake of both the user and keeping your record clean of accidental manslaughter." Yang said as she began to walk over to their bunk beds.

Something which the blond was still surprised was still standing. One on them was being balanced on four stacks of books for the gods sake.

"It's a Dust distribution system with weapons installed, there's a difference! Still, look at miss property damage preaching..." Ruby grumbled out.

"That's different. I was in total control of my mental facilities when I trashed that club." Yang said with a grin.

"Stop being proud of criminal charges!" Ruby growled out.

"When you stop being stubborn and get some sleep." Yang said as she set her younger sister on her bunk.

"Cheater! Blackmailer!" Ruby protested as she felt the tiredness quickly overtaking her.

Yang let out a sigh as her sister promptly fell asleep and began to left the room and make sure no one disturbed her for an hour or two.

Otherwise Ruby would be even more fussy when she woke up.

It was like her working on Crescent Rose all over again. Though thankfully it seemed like she would be finished with it shortly.

Still Yang had to wonder, who could have inspired Ruby to built such a weapon in such a sort amount of time?

---

"So you are positive you won't blow your cover or expose yourself." Ironwood said as Penny stood in attention in her future team's room.

"Yes, sir. I can properly simulate sleep, and eating won't be a problem either, right?" Penny said, having been told by the general to report to this room to receive a quick briefing after helping to narrow down the project trajectory of the meteorite.

Which while they had managed to find a region of Vale where it originated from. But without more information there was still kilometers of mostly Grimm invested territory looking for the point of origin.

And factoring in Roxas's trajectory before he crashed into the Market District, disoriented state midair, and unknown distance for which he entered Remnant it was only a rough estimate.

"Ozpin is now convinced that you have special needs because of health issues that will needs." Ironwood said, getting Penny to beam.

"Wonderful!" She said.

"Yet I still feel that this is an unnecessary risk Penny." Ironwood said sternly.

Penny had already predicted this response from the General. She also had enough time to formulate how to counter his grievances against staying in Vale.

"Sir, I'm here to test myself and effectiveness as a fighter, but I think that this is also a good occasion to test my level of integration with regular civilians and Hunter personal. You developed the Atlesian Knights 200 models to act more human-like, and to act more-human like inorder to give people a greater sense of security. We both know how important this is. And as the headmaster has said Beacon is a much more controlled environment than the city of Vale." Penny explained with a smile.

Ironwood processed what she said for a few moments before he let out a sigh.

"I guess I will have to live with that risk, will I?" The General mused out with a small smile.

Inwardly Penny was cheering as her smile widened.

Her assertation had convinced him, just like she predicted!

"What I'm wondering is it you are taking that risk into account yourself Penny." Ironwood said as his features hardened and Penny's cheering stopped.

She did not calculate that response.

"What do you mean, sir." Penny inquired.

"I have been on many battlefields Penny. Both with and without weapons, and I have learned one lession above all: people can be unexpectedly cruel to those who are different." Ironwood said sternly, getting Penny to nod with a frown.

"My files collaborate that, yes." Penny said nervously, having predicted along the lines of the General's next words.

And was already working on something to counter his response.

"We had a war because some of us wanted to suppress individuality. Another one because some thought of the Faunus as lower than even animals, unnatural. I'm afraid of how they would treat someone who wasn't born and yet lives." Ironwood said honestly.

She knew what he meant by his words...and Penny knew that he was right on some level. But she knew that there was at least one exception.

"I will admit that what you say collaborates with those of Remnant, but what about those outside of this world? Roxas has seen and experienced concepts not of this world like magic and the Heartless. Even some that I have trouble computing, so it would be hypothetical that there are beings similar to myself existing somewhere on at least one world." Penny stated with a smile.

While she was still finding some things concerning Roxas to be hard to process. Like Xion's soul inhabiting his body and that fairies were real, but she knew that if he trusted her to know the truth than she figured that he would accept the truth about her.

Ironwood studied her with a stern expression for a few moments before sighing.

"Considering his history off world, I suppose informing Roxas would be accepting of you. Although he is a risk, he is smart enough to cover up his past about what he truly is. But I can assume that he has already inform you about him being a Nobody." Ironwood said with a small smile.

Penny's eyes widened in shock as she processed the General's words.

How...it did not compute on how he would know.

She had made sure to constantly scan their surroundings for any bugs, any other listening devices, and anyone possibly listening incase they were being monitored with no results to show.

So there was a minimum probability of the General finding out.

Unless someone else told him and from what their future teammate knew it was unlikely Headmaster Ozpin.

So there was one other possiblity, someone she knew who had a lack of a pulse to Roxas. But unlike him had the opposite body temperature, lower than average.

At first she had thought that these signs were a side effect of his Sembalance, but the data showed a different result. One that the General confirmed for her.

"It was my uncle, wasn't it sir?" Penny inquired.

"That is correct and we wishes for you not to divulge his identity to Roxas and he kept his truths about other worlds to a minimum, similar to what Roxas did yesterday. Very few in Atlas know of his true origins like your father and he will be in contact with you soon enough Penny." Ironwood said, getting Penny to nod.

"Understood sir." Penny said, trying to process what she had just learned.

Though she would have to work around having to find out more about the Organization inorder to divulge his connection to Roxas. Still considering the nature of a Nobody's abilities she may be seeing her uncle in person soon and she was excited for that.

"Very well, I will trust his and your judgment on how to handle Roxas for now." Ironwood said sternly, before his features softened a little. "I respect your courage Penny for what you plan on doing. I just hope that you won't have to see the ugly side of people anytime soon."

With his piece of mind being said, Ironwood walked out of the room. Leaving Penny alone to process her thoughts.

Penny knew that she would have to be careful. No one else will find out the truth about her.

They can't, for her sake.

But Roxas and Ruby, they were the exceptions.

Her friends were already getting along. Ruby was pretty accepting of his status as a Nobody and Roxas already trusted her judgement quite a lot.

While she wasn't sure how to tell Ruby, she was sure that there was a good precentage her friend would accept her. But she wasn't all that confident about telling her. Both of them in fact.

Roxas would most likely being the most accepting of the two as he was accepting of Xion as one of his best friends. An artificial being like herself, one that was made to kill and absorb him.

So if he can accept Xion as his friend knowing the truth, than the results would collaborate that he would do so for her as well.

But she would have to calculate the best time to tell him, as the is no previous records on her files of anything like this happening on Remnant.

---

The sun was starting to set past the horizon and turning to night as Roxas and Evelyn returned to Beacon.

After the cafe Evelyn just showed him a few more streets so he wouldn't accidentally get lost while in Vale before returning to the boarding station back to Beacon.

"Back safe and sound and with all of your blood still inside your body! So no mysterious writings splattered over random walls of the city today! No siree!" Evelyn said cheerfully as the two of them began to walk through the courtyard

towards the dorms.

"Did you really have to say that to Penny earlier?" Roxas asked, his only response was for her grin to widen.

That was probably the best answer he was going to get from her.

Roxas had to admit that today had been a fun day so far, even if he was still getting used to his new friend's... eccentricities.

Still her personality was a breath of fresh air compared to the likes of Xemnas, Saïx, and Xaldin. Than again was more sociable then just about anyone that he really knew, which considering they were mainly Nobodies wasn't saying that much.

Despite him still getting used to her outgoing and eccentric personally, he was glad that he could consider him a friend at this point.

"So, wanna go see what Penny's been up to?" Evelyn asked, breaking the Nobody out of his thoughts.

"Of course, I haven't seen her since breakfast." Roxas said, getting the rabbit faunus to nod as they took a few more steps.

Before stoping as he saw Ruby standing at the Academy's main gate. She looked disheveled and clutching a large briefcase in her arms.

The red hooded girl turned her head towards there location and launched towards the pair at breakneck speeds. Covering herself in rose petals as she did so.

"What the-" Evelyn tried to say as she and Roxas took a step back. Only to be cut off when Ruby stopped right infront of her and sent the startled faunus falling back onto the ground.

"Never..." Ruby panted out as she shoved the briefcase into the Nobody's arms.

Getting a closer look at her, Roxas took notice that her condition was a little worse then what he had glimpsed at.

Her hair was messy, looked like she could really use a shower, and was clearly sleep deprived.

"Hey! What's the big idea!" Evelyn said as she stood back up and dusted her clothes off. "Why are you running at us like that for?"

Ruby didn't answer her as she was busy regaining her breath as she faced Roxas.

"Never, ever do something like this to me again!" Ruby protested after a few moments, getting her breathing back under control. "All nighters I can handle, but juicy ideas for your Dust distribution system kept me up all day too! I barely ate or went to the bathroom! And-And..." The red hooded girl trailed off for a. moment as she tried to regain her breath for a. moment before continuing. " And Yang treated me like a baby!"

"Well if you were forgetting about eating or getting any rest that's probably a little warranted-" Evelyn tried to say, but was cut off by the sleep deprived girl.

"She put me up over her should like a sack of red potatoes and used common sense on me! Common! Sense!" Ruby shouted out, surprising both Roxas and Evelyn with the sheer indignation in her tone.

"So, what do you mean by that?" Roxas asked with his head tilt in confusion.

He had no idea of who this Yang was, but they were probably a friend or teammate of Ruby. Though what did they do that caused her to act this way?

"What do you mean-" Ruby said, but cut herself off as realization dawned on her. And her face promptly flushed a little. "Oh, right. You do not know Yang."

"Obviously." Evelyn said dryly.

"Well suffice to say I feel dumb. And helpless. And just a little bit grateful because I really needed my sleep but still..." Ruby said, getting Roxas to sigh.

"I get it, my and Penny won't ask you to build us a Dust distribution system ever again. Alright?" Roxas said, getting Ruby to nod.

"Good! But I am okay with working on new ideas to add to it, or making weapons for you guys. But never again on short notice, got it!" The Huntress in training demanded as she jabbed a finger towards Roxas, getting him to smile at her antics.

"Got it." He said, getting Ruby to beam in happiness.

Never again would she have to do something like this again.

Never again!

"Now are you going to gaze upon it's perfection?" Ruby asked as her gaze fell upon the briefcase in Roxas's arms.

Which was soon joined by Evelyn's and his own gaze. It was dark red in color with an emblem at the end resembling a rose with a black stem and thorns with white petals. With a metallic frame and two latches keeping the briefcase closed.

"You completed it in less than 24 hours?" Evelyn asked.

"Yeah yeah, I'm awesome. Now open it! I want to see your face!" Ruby said excitedly.

"Alright." Roxas said as he set down the briefcase onto a nearby park bench. A small smile gracing his face as he was curious about what Ruby had made.

Flipping open the latches revealed the inside of the briefcase was covered in red fabric. Inside laid what Roxas believed to be the Dust distribution system.

It was a pair of black and silver forearm length gauntlets lying neatly right next to each other.

Picking up one of them Roxas carefully inspected the gauntlet in his hand. It held a good amount of weight behind it and was mostly black in color. The silver sections were mostly on what appeared to be somekind of dial on the side, towards the back of the undersides where most of the weight seems to be along with hole containing something, a plate behind the wrist, a larger plate covering up the back of his hand with a stylized x sigil like the one one over the jacket, and along the sides of the wrist. And looking over the second gauntlet it was practically identical to the one in his hands minus belonging to the opposite hand.

All in all it was beautiful in his eyes, and he didn't expect such work to have been done in less than a day.

"Ruby this is incredible." Roxas said honestly as he continued to inspect their craftsmanship.

Ruby just beamed at his praise.

"Don't forget amazing! And terrific!" Ruby said excitedly.

"All that and above, but how does it work?" Evelyn said.

"I am glad you asked!" Ruby said as she rushed towards Roxas's side and picked up the other gauntlet.

"Important things first." Ruby said as she pressed down on the dial to reveal an empty vial. "These dials are how you use and distribute your dust. They hold three vials per gauntlet each containing Dust in it's powder form. Just turn the dials for what kind of Dust you want and you can just channel as much as you need to into your Keyblade before it runs out or change it to another Dust type before than. And from what Penny told me about your bag you should be able to replace your vials easily."

"Along with making who knows how many combinations to us the Dust." Roxas said with a smile. Growing a little excited at all the possible combinations he could use with them.

"True, but there is also another way to channel Dust." Ruby said excitedly as she fitted the vial back in and flipped the gauntlet over, tracing over some grooves along the palm. "Here you can place a Dust crystal here and crush it in your palm! From there it absorbs the charge and you can channel that through your Keyblade. Won't last as long as the vials but it will pack more of a punch."

"I would imagine so, the vials have more of a control to them. But crushing a Dust crystal would give the Keyblade more raw power to them." Roxas theorized, getting Ruby to nod excitedly.

"Exactly! And I added to neat features to the them, but first I want you to put that one on!" Ruby said, getting the Nobody to nod as he put the gauntlet on his left arm.

Testing it out, the Dust distribution system fit perfectly on his arm. There was no hindrance to his movements and he could move his hands perfectly. Roxas could only find a small grievance with the weight. But it was only a little and he was pretty sure that he could work around that with a little training.

"So what do you think?" Ruby asked as Roxas continued test how it fit a bit more before nodding.

"It fits perfectly." Roxas said, getting Ruby to nod.

"Of course it does, I built it. Now throw one of your Keyblades into the air and than pull your fingers back like this!" She said, do just so.

Roxas looked at her a little confused before shrugging.

She had built them after all, so it would make sense to do what she says.

The Nobody summoned Oathkeeper and after testing the grip in the gauntlet, threw it high into the air. Once it began to come down he complied Ruby's movements.

And to his and Evelyn's surprise something shot out from the undersides of the gauntlet and caught Oathkeeper by the hilt as it began to retract back.

"You built in a grappling device into the then?" Evelyn asked, getting Ruby to nod.

"Penny and Roxas said I could add whatever I want, besides it will certainly come in handy." Ruby said with a knowing smile. "Though it only has a length of 6 meters with a flexible cable, it should be more than enough to help you out."

The Headmaster told her that she couldn't tell any of them about the basic premise about the exam. But he didn't said anything about making something for them to assist them.

With Penny's weapons and now Roxas's Dust distribution system they were prepared.

As for Evelyn, well Ruby was sure she would be fine...maybe...

Evelyn shared a similar smile as she figured what Ruby was meaning while Roxas retrieved Oathkeeper as the grapple retracted.

Something like this would have been a big help during some of his missions, especially during his fight against the King of the Skies Heartless. And he could think of several ideas on how to use it.

Including one idea he wanted to test out.

So Roxas threw Oathkeeper into the air once again and deployed the grappling device to catch it.

But instead of just letting it reel back in, the Nobody grabbed the cable in his hands and swung it towards a nearby tree, cutting off a small branch off with his Keyblade's teeth before it retracted and he dispelled Oathkeeper.

"Got to admit, I'm impressed. I take it that you also designed the gauntlets to be able to do that?" Roxas asked with a small smile, getting Ruby to look a little nervous.

"Uh, yes I totally did! You wouldn't expect anything less of me, right!" She said, while getting Evelyn to grin as she figured out the girl's blunder.

The red hooded girl was just glad she based the grappling cable on the thickness and durability of Blake's Gambol Shroud. She was curious on how the ribbon worked and 'borrowed it one night.

It ended in a scolding once she was caught, but worth it!

"Though I suggest you should get some more practice in using it like that first before actually trying it out on the Grimm. Also next time please do not try anything like that on the trees, otherwise Miss Goodwitch will get upset." Ruby said with a small shudder.

"That is probably for the best." Roxas said as he removed the gauntlet. "So what was the last feature?"

"Glad you asked, I just could not resist adding this in!" Ruby said as she messed with the Dust distribution system a little.

The metal plate behind the wrist opened up to reveal a small gun barrel aimed towards the outside of wrist.

"So a gun." Evelyn said flatly.

"No creation of mine will lack a gun mode! Besides I could only fit in enough space to hold two shotgun rounds before being they could be reloaded from the sides. I added them in as another option to use of a surprise attack." Ruby said as she put her gauntlet back in it's briefcase.

The Nobody had to admit that was a pretty effective option. So along with channeling Dust into his Keyblades, a method to catch or get closer to opponents, and a method to blindsided anyone with an unexpected attack.

Roxas was pretty sure that if Ruby could have the ability to create anything capable of killing the Heartless, there would be a lot less of them swarming the worlds by now.

"Seems like you pretty much though of anything Ruby." Roxas said as he copied her actions, getting her to beam once more.

"Of course I did!" She said before quickly deflating. "Well, after I slept some..."

"Good! All that's needed is to name it then." Evelyn said.

"Already thought of one!" Ruby said.

"Shouldn't he be the one to name it?" Evelyn said.

"My baby, my name. Also Penny and Roxas said I could!" Ruby shot back.

"But Penny was the one who thought of the concept for him!" Evelyn argued back.

"I'm the one who carried it to term!" Ruby countered.

"Evelyn, me and Penny did agree that she could name it. Besides Ruby did work all day on this, so it is only fair that she gets to name the Dust distribution system." Roxas said, hopping to shut down their argument.

It worked as Evelyn let out a small huff and Ruby smiled.

"So what name did you think of?" He asked.

"I decided on the name Twilight Rose." Ruby said as she pointed to the rose she had painted on the briefcase. "Mainly because of the word's meaning to you...that and I hadn't had this many ideas for a single project since building my sweetheart." She admitted with a slightly flushed face.

Evelyn couldn't help but chuckle a little at the red hooded girl's reaction.

"Not bad, but a little corny don't you think." Evelyn said with a grin.

"It's a cool name, and I didn't ask for your opinion, uhm..." Ruby paused, trying to think of a proper comeback for a few moments. "Cottontail!"

"I'll have you know that my tail was ripped off a long time ago." Evelyn said, shocking Ruby.

"W-What!" The red hooded girl sputtered out, horrified she might have insulted her.

"I'm sure she is just joking Ruby...I think." Roxas said as he closed and latched up the briefcase.

The rabbit faunus's grin at the two was telling, along with Ruby's frown.

"Anyway thanks Ruby for making this and I do like the name, I think that it is perfect." Roxas said honestly, getting Ruby to smile. "I will make sure to pay you back later. But how about we show Penny Twilight Rose, she was looking forward to this."

"Then let's go show here! And then tomorrow we can go try it out all together!" Ruby said excitedly, practically bouncing at the chance to show her friend her newest creation.

"All together?" The Nobody asked.

"If you think I'm not going to be there for my baby's first day of school, you've got another thing coming!" Ruby declared before taking off towards the dorms.

"Well and here I was obsessed with stuff..." Evelyn said as both she and Roxas watched the red hooded girl take off.

"What kind of stuff?" Roxas asked.

"Yes." Evelyn said with a grin as she walked off.

The Nobody was puzzled by her broad answer for a few moments before simply shrugging and following after Evelyn and Ruby.

---

Penny was still processing over her conversation with General Ironwood and what to do when she heard the click of the door opening. Her expression brightening once she saw Roxas and Evelyn walk through the door, the former holding a briefcase in his hands.

"Penny, we're back." Roxas said, getting her to smile.

"Welcome back Roxas, Evelyn." Penny said happily.

"And Ruby!" The red hooded girl said as burst through the door. A welcome surprise for Penny. "I finished it!"

This and her scans of Ruby's sleep deprived state, was not.

"Finished it? You mean the Dust distribution system?" Penny inquired.

"I finished it in record time and with only slight forgetfulness about my well-being!" Ruby said with a smile.

"You stayed up almost 24 hours straight." Evelyn pointed out.

"Oh you have no idea what I did when I first started working on Crescent Rose." Ruby said dismissively.

"Oh Ruby! I'm so sorry!" Penny said apologetically.

"Ah, it's alright. I liked working on it! And I got to see a new side of Penny!" Ruby said happily, getting the gynoid to tilt her head in confusion.

"A new side?" She asked.

Penny wasn't aware there was anything wrong with her sides.

"I didn't know that you had it in you to trick people!" Ruby said, Penny's face turning aghast.

"What? She tricked you?!" Evelyn asked with a grin. She wanted more details.

"I know right! I mean, I don't know Penny very, very, very well. But she doesn't give the impression of being shrewd, you know?" Ruby said, only inadvertently making Penny feel worse.

She didn't intend for asking Ruby to help to seem like tricking Penny.

"I..." Penny tried to say, but she was still trying to compute the right words.

Roxas noticed that Ruby's and Evelyn's conversation was bothering Penny. And it seemed like she was having trouble conveying how she felt. Maybe there is something he could do?

As the Nobody was busy thinking of what to do, the grip on the briefcase's handle slacked and fell onto his feet with a heavy thunk.

Getting everyone's attention and a brief sense of pain that coursed through his body. Before his Aura quickly made this go away.

Perhaps he could make this work.

"Ow." Roxas said.

"Ow? It landed on your foot and all you have to say is ow?" Ruby asked

"Yep." Roxas said evenly as the pain faded away entirely.

Along with Evelyn taking in a deep breath and sighing. Looks like she figured out Penny's distress as well.

"Well be careful! I don't want you to hurt my baby for being clumsy!" Ruby said.

"I am not clumsy, just distracted." Roxas said honestly.

The red hooded girl looked doubtful at his words, but Evelyn grinned as an idea came to mind.

"Really? One would think that you did it on purpose you know." She said.

"I didn't. Besides why would someone do something like that to themselves?" The Nobody asked.

"Give me a few hours and I can think of quite a number of reasons actually. Right off the top of my head I am thinking masochistic tendencies." Evelyn teased, getting Roxas to tilt his head and look at her in confusion.

Penny meanwhile finally computed Roxas's actions took attention off her for her sake. Despite hurting his own foot was not really a smart move all, she couldn't help feeling touched at his concern for her.

"What's a masochist?" Ruby asks, with Evelyn grinning mischievously at this question as she looked at her.

What a poor, innocent rose. This was going to be fun!

"How about I tell you about it on the way back?" Evelyn says, about to escort Ruby back to her team's room for Penny to have some private time with Roxas.

"Wait, can you tell me too?" Roxas asks making Penny and Evelyn look at him in surprise.

"...You don't know what a masochist is either? Please tell me you know what sex is right?" Evelyn asks Roxas in shock, as Ruby's face erupted in a massive blush at mention of this.

She knew that he was less than a year old, but was 15 physically and surround be adult Nobodies his entire life. Sure they were emotionally distant, but somone should have told him already!

Roxas just nodded at that.

"I heard of sex before, but...I'm not really sure what it is. Why?" Roxas admits, making both Penny's and Ruby's face flush now at the sincere question.

Evelyn however blinked slowly, before her grin gained that a quality that unnerved him almost as much as facing a large swarm of Heartless with a stick again.

How is it she can grin in a way that honestly scared and intreged him a little?

"Roxas, Roxas, Roxas~ I can't in good conscience not tell you the miracle of the birds and bees at your age. So get comfy and I'll tell you all about it~" Evelyn said with a tone that sent shivers up and down his spine. Rather in fear or something else, he didn't know.

"W-Wait! Roxas needs someone to give him a proper explanation and I read up many records on sex ed classes! I'm more than qualified to teach him about how puberty affects him and what a sex life includes!" Penny cut in with a flushed face, trying to keep Evelyn at a distance from Roxas still, not trusting the rabbit faunus yet.

There time in Vale was a stretch, but she had no reports of any blood spatters in the city so she was alright with it.

But this was too much!

Nor she didn't think that the Nobody would have quite the gap in his knowledge. Something that he should have at least some knowledge about it given the the physical age of his body.

"Oh? Maybe we can compare notes then as we teach him, after all you two are gonna be my teammates and I can't leave him ignorant because you're overprotective. I'm sure together we can teach him many things~" Evelyn teases back, finding the blush growing on Penny's face both hilarious and cute.

"I-I'm only going to tell him what it is! Not do anything!" Penny tries to clarify things in hopes Evelyn will stop.

"So am I, what did you think I meant? You need to slow down girl or you'll give someone the wrong idea!" Evelyn teases again, enjoying how Penny was stuttering now.

"Uhm...I...should probably get back to my team...bye!" Ruby said before bursting out the door in a burst of rose petals, the last thing Roxas saw of her was her face easily matching the shade of her hood.

She was too tired, scared, and embarrassed to deal with this!

Roxas wondered why her face was so red before noting Penny and Evelyn had their full attention on him now.

"Now Roxas, let's begin your very first session of sex ed with Evelyn-sensei, shall we?" Evelyn says making him shiver again at the look in her eyes.

She was going to enjoy this~

Roxas suddenly felt like he was in great danger and he didn't know why.

---

He regretted ever asking in the first place!

Was this why no one in the Organization told him or Xion!

Roxas was currently suffering from mental anguish as he tried to digest every piece of the first lesson he got from Penny on how puberty can affect the hormones in a teenage boy and girl's body to make them desire each other. Evelyn's talk of how the interworkings of sex mixed in with a lot of teasing.

She even went as far as to tell him a few positions! They had multiple positions!

Now he couldn't stop by noticing the details of Evelyn's and Penny's body. And he couldn't seem to get the thoughts to stop!

"I think we broke him, Penny." Evelyn told Penny, snickering as Roxas was groaning with his hands over his deeply blushing face as he laid in bed. Wishing for it to swallow him up and take him anywhere but here.

"We?! I was only giving him facts he should have been able to handle, you're the one who told him about those positions and how they work!" Penny said with a blushing face, hoping that was the case and it wasn't her fault...She didn't want to be why her friend was so unresponsive after spending an hour talking about his first sex ed lesson.

Roxas was trying to regain his barings, but was having slight difficulty looking at his new female friends the same way as he used to right now.

Trying very hard not to look at Evelyn's generous chest or how Penny was smaller in the chest area like Xion, but still very attractive with her skirt slightly showing her legs a bit...

Why couldn't he get these thoughts to stop!

"Like what you see, Roxas~" Evelyn's teasing voice broke him out of his unknown staring to see her smug grin and Penny's blushing face shyly looking away from him.

The Nobody just groaned as he buried himself in bed. Knowing he was sharing this bed with Penny later, this was going to be a long night...

---

Xion was not taking it much better as she was clutching her blushing race with her hands.

Why didn't anyone tell her about these things!

Oh wait...she was created just to absorb Roxas...and to be a perfect male clone of Sora. And that all ended up as a failure.

Still someone should have told Roxas about this...than again Xemnas and Saïx expected them to fuse with either herself or Roxas in control of a loyal Keyblade wielding follower. Someone who would follow their every order without question or hesitation.

So she guessed they never would have told them.

Axel should have at least!

Then again he could have gone the same route as Evelyn...

Now Roxas's thoughts would stop coming about this issue and she was experiencing the backlash.

At least he did think that she was attractive...

"Wait, those those thoughts can wait for later!" Xion said as she tried to clam herself down.

The Replica tried to regain her senses as she suddenly noticed something on the Dive to the Heart.

Inspecting it closer it looked like a rectangular indent in the station. Precess her fingers against it, Xion felt a warm sensation flow throughout out her body as she pulled back.

An image burned into her mind. One she's recognized from Sora's memories.

"A door, so that's the beginnings of a door." Xion said. "But a door to where?"

The screen flickers for a bit before the author reappeared.

*Hey guys Hakuorofan7 and I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter.**Now let's move onto buisness shall we.**First off Roxas has mainly caught up the bare bones for life on Remnant thanks to a certain eccentric bunny faunus. Although I think that after tonight he might start to take things with a grain of salt...*

*Still he learned quite a bit and plans to learn more about Remnant in Beacon and from Penny and Evelyn while living there and planning on finding a way to separate Xion from himself. And figuring out how things work both good and bad.*

*That and getting a few glimpses of Team RWBY during his tour of Vale and Beacon and Pyrrah as well. Not much to be said there.*

*Got introduced to more of Evelyn's quirks and personality. She is a treat to wise and quite quick in messing with others, like breaking Roxas. Although good natured, she is someone who could destroy you with her personality and her Sembalance if you cross her. While the part you all saw is not combat oriented it is a clever way to get in you opponents head.*

*And finally the last part is that Ruby's. newest baby, the Twilight Rose.*

*Basically it's a Dust distribution system for Oathkeeper and Oblivion, but Ruby being given free reign she also created a way to get around Ozpin's restriction for the exam and a gun mode. Taking cues Blake's, Weiss's, and Yang's weapons in it's construction with her own branding of course. Giving Roxas another way to blend into Remnant and another means to deal with trials ahead. Something that the both of them are quite happy with.*

*Also once again thank you warrior of six blades helping to make this idea a reality.*

*Along with Ruby coming close to making it the equalivent of a Mandalorian vambrace if she had the time and wasn't sleep deprived. With how many ideas she had, it wouldn't be a surprise if she did end up making one.*

*Anyway besides Ozpin and Ironwood planning on find the origin of the meteor, Penny making a few plans, a truamatized Nobody and Replica, and Xion uncovering a new development in the Dive to the Heart that should about cover it as we are almost out of time.*

*First off, no new updates to the harem yet, save that for next chapter.*

*Finally the next chapter Roxas has some more bonding time with Penny, a bit of the next day before the exam, and finally the exam starting for the skin to be team that will end after Roxas meets the final member of their team. So I hope that you all will enjoy it when it comes out.*

*Anyway that is all for now.*

*If you have any questions leave a review or PM me and I will get back to you when I can. So until next time, ciao!*

The author waves goodbye as the screen fades to black.
