So much stuff had happened when I was gone, but for starters, I should address a concern I'd only figured out upon returning.
Apparently, after an embarrassing incident with Blake and Yang, My body double had arranged for me to do online school for the rest of the semester, promising to be back for the second one. It makes sense, considering that I'd almost died to some sort of Aquatic Wolf Grimm. So my body double decided to do a training montage. Which surprisingly paid off pretty well.
They decided to focus on leveling up skills, and even got a few to max.
{Teleport} {Pokémon} {Active} [MAX] {"SHIA-KAZING!" Gives the ability to Teleport to anywhere you've Previously been.}
{Stretch} {Active} [MAX] (Allows you to stretch your limbs. {Cost: 100MP/meter})

{All-Element Manipulation} {Passive} [MAX] (UNLIMITED POWER... but not really. Allows masterful casting of all elemental magic types. 100% Damage Increase to All Elemental Skills)
{Gluttony} {TENSURA} {Active} [71/100 - 0%] {One of the Sin Series. Devour all in your path. Can consume any target. If the target has learnable skills, Gluttony steals them.}
{Physical Damage Resistance} {Passive} [MAX] (THE PAIN! IT'S UNBEARABLE... until it is. Take 50% Less Damage from Physical Attacks.)
{Kaioken} {DRAGON BALL} {STR REWARD SKILL} {Active} {21/100 - 48%} (Multiplies the user's STR in exchange for HP/MP. [MAX Multiplier: 21] {Cost: 1000 HP/MP Mix x Level Used per Minute})

{Superspeed} {AGI REWARD SKILL} {Active} [MAX] [EVOLUTION LOCKED] (Gotta Go Fast! Multiplies the user's AGI in exchange for MP. [MAX Multiplier: 100] {Cost: 1000 MP x Level Used per Minute}) {Cost: 800 MP/30 seconds}

'Don't really know why Superspeed is locked, but I could care less at this point.' I muse, as I check for any other changes. Other than two skills, Nothing new had been created.
[Hammer Mastery] [Passive] [2/100 - 68%] (Bonk! Increases damage from Hammer-Type weapons by 1%.)
[Bow Mastery] [Passive] [6/100 - 41%] (You're no cupid, that's for sure. Increases damage from Bow-type weapons by 3%)
'I can see that they dabbled in a bit of other weapons, before focusing on other skills.' I say, before my alarm on my Scroll goes off.
You see, while Body-Double Zero was away, she kept tabs on the school from afar, helping out Alice, Gloss, and Fawn while also training. She'd made a time notice for all the canonical events that were to happen, while also making an alarm for when to head back to school. A lot of the warnings include Jaune beating Cardin, Blake's White Fang reveal, Blake meeting Sun, that Massive food fight, The fight against the Atlas mech piloted by Torchwick, and Ruby meeting Penny.
What happened that normally DIDN'T was due to Body-Double Zero's interference. Such as Blake and Yang being stronger than normal, because Yang was taught the Kaioken up to x2, and Blake's Semblance was Fused with Wobbuffet DNA, causing her semblance to use either Counter or Mirror Coat upon being damaged.
The biggest one is that Jaune and Pyrrha had started dating, which sent the whole school abuzz. Rumors went everywhere, and Weiss was pulling out her hair wondering; "how someone as refined as Pyrrha could see anything in the Blonde Wonder".
'Anyways, the alert that Body-Double Zero did that was happening now is the events of the Dance are about to occur in a week's time, so It's time for me to make a return to Beacon.'
I quickly use Teleport to warp outside Ozpin's office, before knocking in a musical pattern.
"Come in." I hear Ozpin say, as I walk into the office. Ozpin is looking at me with a smile, as I shake his hand firmly. "Welcome Back to Beacon, Miss Nigiro. I assume your Isolation Training has gone well?"
I held back a snark. Considering I'd seen a Crow hanging around my cabin a lot, I can tell he was keeping tabs on me.
"Absolutely, Professor. I'm stronger than ever, and I won't be having a Repeat of what happened down at the Docks again."
"Glad to hear it. You've been all caught up on your work, with Straight A's too, so I'm not surprised that you've been doing well."
"Thanks. How's everything been at Beacon so far?" I ask, somewhat knowing the answer already.
"Well, We've got a Temporary team who've joined Beacon, consisting of a group of four. Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black, and Sango Blackmoon are their names."
'I know of the first three, but I've never heard of the last one. Is this because of me changing the Timeline? I've never heard of someone named Sango Blackmoon in canon…' I think before shrugging it off. "Interesting. I'll have to greet them later. I should be getting back to my Dorm and meeting up with my team.."
"Yes, Of course. Once again, welcome back." Ozpin nods, as He goes back to reading a book.
I teleport outside the Hallway of the dorms, and notice Blake leaving the dorm with bags under her eyes, obviously frustrated.
"What's on your mind?" I say, startling her, as she draws her weapons.
"Zero! Don't startle me like that!" She says, putting her weapons away, as she sighs. "I didn't know you were coming back today."
"I didn't tell anyone. It was going to be a surprise." I explain, as she goes silent for a moment. "What's on your mind?"
"It's just the rest of my team. They don't understand how important this is. Every second we're not doing something, The White Fang is injuring more and more people, taking innocent people's lives!" She says, raising her voice in frustration.
"Blake, I get that. Why do you think The White Fang has been having so many busts recently? I've been fighting them while doing work from my home. You, however, are not doing this correctly. You need to eat and sleep. Do you remember the night at the docks?"
She slightly smirks. "How could I forget?"
I blush a bit, before continuing. "Ignoring that incident, I almost died because I wasn't paying attention to my body's needs. I was ignoring the fact that I was exhausted for something that in the long run was a minor benefit to me, and it almost got me killed. How are you going to stop the White Fang if you can't even take care of yourself?"
Blake was about to respond, but I cut her off. "Blake, I'm not asking you to stop this wild goose chase for the White Fang. I'm asking you to take it easy for a bit so you don't burn yourself out. My mother's master had a saying, it went 'Work Hard, Study Well, and Eat and Sleep Plenty'. It meant that a true fighter had to take care of themselves in order to protect others."
Blake went silent for a moment, before sighing. "...Fine. I'll take one day off. But if something big goes down, I'm going after them."
"That's a fair compromise. Just take care of yourself." I say, giving her a hug, which she returns. I start walking towards my dorm, waving at some familiar faces, before passing by a group of people I know too well. Cinder Fall, Mercury Black, and Emerald Sustrai. I notice another girl walking beside them, with a Katana at her side, and butterfly wings on her back. I notice the color of her wings shift from a lilac purple, to a bright crimson, as she speeds up. I use Observe on the four of them as they walk away.

Stopping in front of the door to my dorm room, I take a deep breath and grasp the door handle, before being tackled from my right-side onto the floor.
"Zero! Welcome back!" Gloss exclaims, as Alice runs after him, clearly out of breath.
"Heya, Gloss. Thanks for the welcome. Can I please get up now?" I ask, patting the top of his head, as he gets up, twirling his sundress side to side in excitement.
"Sorry! Just… Missed you." He says, as I get up, dusting myself off.
"I missed you too, Gloss." I say, patting the top of his head. "Heya Alice. It's been a hot minute."
"Hi Zero… Just let me catch my breath…" Alice pants out, seemingly tired from chasing Gloss around.
I chuckle at their shenanigans, as we head inside the dorm.
"Where's Fawn?" I ask, before dusting off my bed. "I've come bearing gifts."
"Fawn's the new leader of the Branwen Clan, so she's taking time off school too. Just for a bit. She'll be back for the dance." Gloss explains, kicking his feet in the air while sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Glad to hear she'll be back for that. I-"
Suddenly, I was lept upon by a decently large bird, covering my face and causing me to slightly panic.
"Jet! No! Get down! I know you missed Zero, but you're too big to be on her head!" Alice cries out, as Jet hops off, and I realize something big has changed.
"Jet has Evolved?" I ask, turning to Alice, as jet preens at the praise of evolving.
Sure enough, Jet the Pidgey had evolved into Jet the Pidgeotto while I was away. I stroke the mane on his head, as he leans into the attention.
I decide to appraise him later, as I'm getting sick of looking at the gamer screens for a bit, considering I'd been doing it a lot.
"Anyways, I'm starving. How about we go out to eat? My treat." I offer, holding up my Debit card that's tied to my Gamer Funds.
""YEAH!"" Gloss and Alice cheer, as we head out to get some food.
"Can we go to that all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet?" Gloss asks, drooling a little bit while poking his cheek.
"Gloss, my friend, you read my mind." I say, locking the door behind me, as I toss Jet some Beef Jerky.
{POV - Cinder's Dorm, 3rd Person.}
'Something isn't right.' Cinder Thinks. 'Sango Blackmoon is many things. A Professional assassin. A family person. A useful pawn. But a Coward is not one of these things.'
"Sango." Cinder says, as the girl is as pale as a ghost, staring out the window. "Sango, what is the issue?"
"Cinder… Who is that Green-Skinned Girl? I haven't seen her around campus at all this semester." Sango asks, visibly shaken.
"Oh, Her? She's Zero Nigiro. She's the Leader of Team NGSA, which is Nightshade." Mercury explains. "I've heard she's the toughest in the school. I'd like to test that sometime."
"Can it, Mercury." Cinder snips. She turns to Sango, and gets close to her. "What about her?"
"Cinder… Because I'm a Butterfly Faunus, so I can tell the Threat Level of a person. It's kinda like a Survival Instinct. Cinder, you would beat me in a fight, but it would be close." Sango says, looking down at Zero from the window. "That Girl… She would flatten me in a microsecond, and not even break a sweat."
Cinder takes a good look at Sango, a professional assassin, and sees her full body shaking. Her wings fluttered fast, as if to run away at the drop of a hat.
Cinder bites down on her nail, a frustrated look on her face.
"When we upload the virus, I'll get all the information on her, first. We can't have an unknown screwing over our plans."
"You got it, Boss Lady." Mercury chimes, before Emerald throws her shoe at his head.
