Yeah, sorry about this. It's a super short filler chapter just to get my writing groove going again.

CHAPTER 4: SHORT NIGHT

XXX

"I see. It seems you all had quite the evening."

Ozpin leaned back on his chair, calmly sipped his hot coffee and stared at team RWBY and JNPR minus Yang and Weiss with a few young girls he'd never seen glomping on the legs of a certain Arc. Glynda is standing beside him with a complex expression, clearly not knowing how to feel right now.

"I-I know it's hard to believe..." Jaune scratched the back of his head.

"Oh do not worry, Mr. Arc. I believe you."

"Y-You do?"

"Indeed," Ozpin's face remains neutral at the bewildered expressions of everyone in the room. "Before this debacle, one of your 'future daughters' appeared out of nowhere in this room-one of the most secured places in this school."

"ANOTHER ONE?!" Jaune and the future girls screamed out in horror.

"Yes, she..." The headmaster paused, looking around the room. "... is no longer here, it seems, and I shouldn't be surprised that she prefers to do things on her terms. Regardless, she had given me enough information to grasp the general situation."

"W-Wait!" Helena interrupted, "B-But we're not allowed to-"

Ozpin raised his hand, "She said that this was approved by the... Professor, was it? A double pinky promise was the code if I'm not mistaken."

Helena and Lily looked at each other still unsure but not exactly voicing anything.

"Professor?" Jaune asked and Ozpin quickly dismissed it.

"Do not worry about that for now, Mr. Arc. Considering the special circumstances surrounding you right now I've prepared a special room for all of you in the VIP wing."

"We have a VIP wing?!" Nora was shocked, "Since when?!" Ren elbowed her for being rude.

The headmaster didn't seem bothered by it. "Yes, we housed important guests of the school there. It's right next to the faculty dorm and security station so it's very safe." He paused, "But until everything can be sorted out, Mr. Arc will be staying in a room by himself." He'd expected the complaints from the future children. "All of you will stay next to him so do not worry."

That did not satisfy the future children as they each wanted their dad to sleep with each of their mothers, but Ozpin wouldn't budge.

"One more thing, please try your best to keep everything under wrap from the other students and staff as the last thing we need is more chaos, and with the Vytal Festival coming it could escalate and explode into one that couldn't be controlled. So for now their cover will be that they are part of a young aspiring hunter programs and all of you are assigned as their teachers. Any question?" He waited to see if anyone had anything to say before nodding and continuing. "Good, Glynda will escort you to your new room. We'll help you move your luggage tomorrow."

As everyone began moving out of the office Jaune Arc paused and turned toward the headmaster, "Ah, Headmaster, c-can I ask about Leone and Salju...? Are they okay?"

"Their lives are not being threatened." It was Glynda who responded. "The unconscious one, Salju was it? She's being taken care of by the medical staff in the special infirmary room, and Miss Schnee had insisted on staying with her." The professor paused, "For the other one, the aggressive girl, Leone? We had to put her in the maximum security containment room, but she's fine. Miss Xiao Long insisted on staying with her and had requested multiple times to be allowed to talk to her, but considering the girl became out-of-control whenever she saw Miss Xiao Long we had only allowed her to observe through the camera."

Jaune winced when he heard the report, "... Can I-"

"After you've rested, Mr. Arc." Ozpin interrupted.

The Arc scion troubled look remain, but at the insistent of his two future daughters he finally relented and joined his team and friends toward their new rooms, escorted by Glynda of course.

Ozpin let out a deep sigh after everyone had left. "... What do you think?"

From the open window, a bird flew in and transformed into a rough-looking black hair man. "Are you fucking serious, Ozpin? You called me back for this? Do you believe this future children stuff?"

"I do."

"How-No, why?! Like you would think a scrawny kid like that could take the heart of my niece?! No way!"

The headmaster opens his mouth to say 'That's not the point', but thinks better of it and ignores it entirely. "Because of the girl that had confronted me KNEW about me, Qrow. About all of us."

THAT got Qrow attention. "... How much does she know?"

Ozpin stares directly into Qrow's eyes. "Everything."

"They're on high alert."

Among the shadows of the Emerald Forest with a clear view of Beacon are several figures observing the orderly commotion happening around the school. Security staff can be seen moving and patroling around the perimeter in full combat gear.

One of the figures, a female with long pink hair in a white tuxedo and a white porcelain rabbit mask, chuckles in amusement. "Looks like it. Oh, how fun it will be! Let's go attack right now!"

"No, not yet you bloodthirsty gremlin." Another one of the figures is a woman with bronze skin and black hair wearing a tight black skinsuit with a long moving metal tail twice her size. "Dollmaker hasn't finished assimilating the grimm in this forest." Her face's covered with a black metal cat mask.

"Tch, you're no fun, Heretic." The pink hair turned to the last of the figures. "So... What do you think, oh glorious rust bucket, Lady Penitence? Should we wait?"

The last figure is a tall individual wearing a full set of rusted bronze-coloured knight armour with a faded red cloak, "... No. If we wait too long the MARKED ONE might find us first and create annoyances before any of our plans can be set in motion."

"Then we attack?!"

"Beacon power is still intact, and we don't know how many future children had stationed themselves inside the school. A hasty assault could lead to failure."

The pink-haired female groaned in annoyance, "Then what do we do? The boredom would kill me at this rate!"

"YOU will do something, Jester." Penitence answered, "Infiltrate, gather information, and report back."

"Ugh! Infiltration's boring!"

"Aww, what's the matter, little rabbit? Too hard for you?" Heretic grins mockingly.

Jester scoff in amusement, "Funny to hear that from you, the weakest, of all people."

"What did you say?!"

"Enough." Penitence interrupted. "Jester, you have your order. Obey."

"Tch, fine, fine." Jester began walking toward the school and despite her bright outfit, she seemed to melt into the shadow, disappearing among the trees.

"What a day..." Glynda muttered while walking toward her room after she had escorted her students to their new room. The headache of the information that she'd gotten and expected to believe because Ozpin did have brought her another strong migraine. "Time travelling children... How ridiculous." It didn't take long for her to arrive at her room and walk inside, closing the door behind her.

"Oh? Welcome back." A beautiful female voice greeted her.

"Hm, I'm back," Glynda muttered while her mind was still occupied with thoughts of the situation.

"You look super tired tonight, do you want warm tea or coffee? Or maybe straight to bed?"

"I need to do some paperwork so coffee will be good-" She stops as her mind FINALLY catches. With a well-trained motion, she grabbed her whip and aimed it at the source of the voice. "WHO ARE YOU?!" She demanded as her aura flared and her semblance prepared to be used anytime.

"Ah! Please, I mean no harm." It's the words of a beautiful woman with long, flowing blond hair, blue eyes, and a very well-developed body under what appeared to be a black-and-white nun outfit that only made her look lewd, somehow. She raised both of her arms in a motion of surrender.

Glynda's mind went into overdrive on what to do right now. Who is she? How did she get in her room? Did her co-workers get drunk and prank her by hiring an escort AGAIN? "I won't ask you again! WHO ARE YOU?"

"I-It might sound hard to believe but," She hesitated for a bit, "My name is Rapunzel Goodwitch,"

Professor Glynda is a smart woman, so it didn't take long for her logic to pin this together with what had happened to a certain Jaune Arc. "No..." She could feel her throat drying up quickly.

"I'm your daughter from the future-"

"No... Please..."

"-with your student, Jaune Arc."

Yup, there it is.

That night the mighty Glynda Goodwitch fainted.

CHAPTER 4-END

XXX

Hey guys, sorry it took so long for such a short chapter. Real life has been gripping me lately (along with new gaccha games), so my time and desire to write have been dwindling, but hopefully, I can regain it. Again, sorry for being so short, I'm just trying to get my groove going again, so think of this as a filler chapter that introduces certain things.

Anyway, thanks for reading!
