Ozpin patiently waited for Y/N to come to his office, wanting to discuss something about the humanoid Grimm he fought the night at the docks.

Now, Ozpin had seen many types of Grimm in his years as Beacon's headmaster but throughout that time, he had never seen a Grimm parasite before. He supposed it could lead back to the Mad Scientist but there was barely any activity from him so he shouldn't be so quick on the draw there.

Anyway, Ozpin wanted Y/N's thought about it. A new Grimm controlled by a Human host was something Ozpin cannot ignore as who knows how many sleeper agents there are with the same power. Maybe there were some within his students, or staff of Beacon, or ordinary townspeople; who knows and Ozpin can't individually search every one of them as that would take too much time for him and the perp.

So Ozpin called Y/N to come to his office regarding the enemy. If Y/N can provide some clues about the new Grimm then Ozpin can enact some countermeasures if ever one of his students or from other schools is a sleeper agent.

When he heard the elevator rang, Ozpin drank from his mug to prepare the long talk he'll have with Y/N.

The doors opened and out came Y/N, looking a bit annoyed. "Good Morning, Mr. L/N."

"Yeah, Morning..." He sluggishly walked to a nearby chair and slumped down. "What is it, Oz?"

Ozpin raised an eyebrow at Y/N's form and asked. "If I may, Mr. L/N. Why are you acting so..."

"Tired?" Y/N sighed as he tried to recollect what happened that faithful morning.

Y/N stirred from his sleep as the suns' ray hit his eyes. He crawled out of the way as he tried to go back to sleep but felt someone staring at him.

"Good Morning." A sudden voice from the side of the bed announced. "It is time to wake up, Father."

Opening his eyelid, Y/N was surprised to see Aigis staring at him. "Task finished."

"Aigis?" Y/N asked the android as he sat up from his bed. "What are you doing here? I thought Peach was doing her check-up with you."

"She has finished her assessment of me and told me to find you. When I came looking for you, Father was nowhere to be found." Aigis replied, not moving from her spot.

Y/N thought she was released last night but he was busy grinding in his dungeon and fighting Tiamat. 'That would explain why she can't find me.'

"But why are you in my room? You could've just stayed with Peach where I'll find you." Y/N rubbed his eyes, trying to get the grogginess out.

"I... did not want to be left alone." Aigis looked down on her shoulder, looking a bit sad. "I do not want to spend a night in a place where I used to be. Rather, I would want to be with you, Father."

"Just, call me Y/N. Please, I feel like this is going to make a lot of misunderstandings." Sighing, he looked at Aigis' sad expression and stood up. "I'll ask Oz for an extra bed here."

"I would be grateful. Thank you." Aigis smiled Y/N, making him do the same.

"But..." Y/N pointed at his door. "How did get the password for my door?"

Aigis looked a bit surprised as she brought up a finger. "Ah. I hacked it open."

She then proceeded to mecha-shift her hand into an assortment of tools, some are alive as Aigis smiled innocently. Shaking his head Y/N decided to let it go for now, but he'll have a word with her later.

Y/N then grabbed some clothes from a closet and headed to the bathroom for a shower. But when he was about to strip, Y/N saw Aigis standing at the door of the bathroom.

"Umm... Aigis? What are you doing?" He asked the girl android.

"I am waiting for you. If you want, I can assist." To Y/N's surprise, Aigis entered the bathroom with him and without hesitation, approached him. However, before she could anymore closer, Y/N grabbed her shoulders and kept her at arms' length.

"Uh, how about no." he sternly said.

That didn't stop Aigis from grabbing his shirt with a surprising amount of strength. "I insist. Please, let me do that."

Y/N and Aigis then had a small struggle of strength on his pajamas with Aigis winning. So, he did what he thought best by using his Aura to surpass Aigis and to win so that he can bath in peace.

The two struggled so much that when Y/N decided to finish it, he accidentally pushed Aigis to his bed while she ripped off Y/N's shirt.

They both landed on the bed with Y/N atop of Aigis.

It took a few moments for Y/N to register the misunderstanding that would ensue when people see them right now. 'Oh, please don't open that door.'

~~~CREAK~~~

"...Fuck."

"And, what happened after?" Ozpin asked, a bemused smile in his face.

Y/N groaned out loud as he told Ozpin. "Ruby opened the door with her team and saw me and Aigis on the bed. I tried explaining to them what happened but she first hit me, then Weiss and surprisingly Yang. It took a lot of apologies and convincing but they forgive me."

Ozpin let out a silent chuckle at Y/N's torment but kept it to himself. "And Aigis?"

"With Team RWBY. They wanted to make her look better than just her body so they're off shopping for clothes. Oh, I was wondering if Aigis be transferred as a Beacon student. If that's possible."

"I see. Well, I'll see what I can do. She is something, this 'Aigis' android. I still can't believe you took a piece of your soul to give her life. That was very brave of you Y/N." Ozpin smiled at Y/N's decision to use his soul for Aigis. Someone like Aigis should always be treated with care.

"Yeah, no problem. So, is it alright if she bunks with me?"

"I'll make it so you 2 are registered as a team," Ozpin assured Y/N with a small smile and a nod.

"Thanks, Oz... I owe you one." With that finished, Y/N stood up from his seat. "Well, I should get going."

"Wait a moment." Ozpin stopped Y/N from leaving as he put on how serious face. "I wanted to talk something with you."

Y/N was a bit confused by that but sat down. "Alright... What's it about?"

Ozpin typed something on his computer and soon, another screen popped up from his table as it blared to life.

An image of an experienced man was shown on the screen. Only his face was shown but Y/N can see the stern expression he always wore with black, stark hair. The outfit he wore was something a military general would wear, always prepared to fight for his believes.

Y/N tried to use {Observe} through the screen but found out he can't. 'I guess it only works if I meet him in person.'

"This is a friend of mine in Atlas. General James Ironwood." Ozpin announced to Y/N as the General looked at the young boy before him. "He's also the Headmaster there and holds 2 seats in the Council."

Y/N looked at Ironwood with slight intimidation, a bit scared of his glare but stood his ground against his stare. "Greetings, General Ironwood."

"Greetings, Mr.L/N. As Ozpin said, my name is James Ironwood. General of the Atlas military." Ironwood greeted the young man before him. His demeanor was unexpected of a student in Vale, but something from his academy. Formal, with respect. "Before we would start this meeting, I would like to commend your actions the night at the docks."

"Oh, it was no problem, sir. I was just helping a friend." Y/N accepted the gratitude but asked for something. "Can I ask something, General?"

"Call me James. I've heard enough 'General' from my students." James assured Y/N with a wave of his hands, wanting to get more familiar with the boy.

"Alright then. James, was it you who ordered Aigis to be sent to Vale?" Y/N didn't want to believe it but he wanted to know if Ironwood had any hand into it.

Ironwood blinked owlishly at what Y/N called the daughter of Pietro. "Is that her name then? Aigis?"

Y/N's face fell into a sort of uneasiness, not knowing what would happen at first. "Uh... Do you not like it?"

"N-No. I think it fits her perfectly." Ironwood coughed at his hand a bit. "But, yes. I sent her away to Vale, hoping to make her feel better than what Atlas did."

"Her death." Y/N sighed dejectedly, really questioning the Council. "It was the Council of Atlas that ordered it, wasn't it?"

"Yes. I'm afraid so." Ironwood breathed out through his nose, remembering the bitter argument. "Regardless, I want to express my gratitude knowing that Aigis is safe and sound in Ozpin's hand. Thank you."

"Gladly, sir." Y/N heard a slight cough from Ozpin.

"Now that the latter has been settled with." Ozpin pushed a button on his computer, making every door and window closed with shutters and iron doors. The only light here was Ozpin's computer, Ironwood's monitor, and then candles around the room.

Y/N recognized this as a sort of confidential room to prevent any onlookers from peeking into whatever they were about to say.

"This is not why we call you here today, Y/N," Ozpin said, his tone was grave. As if he was set on edge for the fort time of his life.

"Agreed." Ironwood was now very stern and serious, Y/N saw behind him the room was in a similar state as Ozpins'.

"Mr. L/N, you were the first to ever fight the Humanoid Grimm we have decided to call 'Shadow Grimm'," Ironwood said, a display case showing Adachi with {Magatsu-Izanagi} behind him with his weapon tipped to the ground. "We have gathered here to discuss how to deal with it and to identify a person with similar power."

'Oh, the irony...' Y/N bitterly laughed at how they named the {Fake Persona} but he kept it silent. "You're thinking there may be more like him?"

"Precisely." Ozpin agreed as another picture showed Loki with how much they captured in-camera. "We were also hoping you would tell us more about Loki. You and him seem to have a close relationship."

Y/N visibly winced seeing Loki, Ironwood noted as they have indeed been close. 'Perhaps best friends?'

Looking at the 2 Headmasters of Remnant, he breathed out slowly. "Can we talk about the Shadow Grimm? Loki... Loki is still fresh on my mind right now and I would really appreciate it if we can talk about him later."

"Of Course." Ozpin agreed with Y/N. "These types of conversations aren't meant to take lightly so feel free to tell when you want to."

"Thanks, Oz." Y/N faced Ironwood with a solid expression. "So, what do you want to know?"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Walking to the Beacon Library, Y/N remembered what he, Ozpin, and Ironwood discussed about Adachi and {Magatsu-Izanagi} and how to deal with threats like him. People like him with powers as versatile and strong should be dealt with thoroughly to make sure he will never harm anyone ever again.

Y/N told them about how tough the {Shadow Grimm} was, using Dust as a source of power similar to his and dealing with 2 opponents at the same time with synchronized teamwork. As well as how fast it was against him, Y/N could describe it as someone more powerful than anyone he has encountered. Blocking was difficult and attacking was a game-changer but the fact still remains that the duo is far more deadly than expected. Almost as if that Grimm was a Personification of the {Mad Detective}, it was a terrifying thought for them as who knows how many people are mad with power around Remnant.

He also took note of obvious weakness, like the Grimm being directly commanded by Adachi and how there was some delay in command for attacks. As well as how attacking the Grimm, deals damage to Adachi as well. They are both linked to one another and how one falls, the rest follows. Y/N had seen it happen when dealt a big wound at Adachi and how the Grimm reacted violently. It lashed out anywhere Adachi looked and Y/N took that opportunity to attack but was pushed back to where he fell near RWBY.

Unfortunately, there was no way to find out if there were others since the process of summoning the {Shadow Grimm} is similar to activating one's Semblance so there was no definitive way of calling out someone when they enter a similar process. The only lead they have is that the user spews out dark mist out of his body to form the Grimm so there may be a silver lining to all this.

Regardless, Ironwood and Ozpin thanked Y/N and let him go to enjoy his day with friends. Leaving the two Headmasters of Remnant to discuss plans for the future.

Sighing, Y/N wondered if he'll meet any more characters he recognizes from certain sources he'd rather not say and deal with them accordingly.

It's not that Y/N enjoys fighting them, most of the time, but rather of how they'll react to him and how Y/N can deal with them as certain characters would rather listen to instinct than logic. The only way for Y/N to deal with people like that is to pummel some sense into them.

Resisting the urge to sigh, Y/N opened the doors to the Library and took in the sight before him. Shelves and books as far as he could see, holo-computers lined up in shelves to easily locate books across the building and skylights for late readers. Y/N has never been in a public Library but he can guess that the one Beacon has dwarfed any and all.

Locating his friends wasn't hard, as they were a couple of feet away from the entrance. Not seeing Aigis, Y/N walked to them.

When he was close to them, Y/N overheard an on-going conversation coming from Ruby with a set of cards on hand. Looking at their table, Y/N saw a board game they were playing. On the box was labeled 'Remnant: The Game'. Chuckling at the name, Y/N decided to see how it plays out.

"Hmmm... alright... alright." Ruby silently said on her cards, her eyes denoting how she can grasp victory. With a nod, she pointed at her sister with a fiery gaze "Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!"

Yang replied with a pump sign, a grin on her face. "Bring it on!"

On her first turn, Ruby sets down a card on her deck. "{Blue Eyes White-}

Oh, man... *WHEEZE* I can't... *Dying of laughter* I'm sorry. It was too good. *AHEM* Moving on...

Ruby sets down her card on the table below. "I deploy {The Atlesian Fleet}!."

Yang feigned a look of shock, not expecting an attack so unprecedented for the first time. "You fiend!"

The Red Reaper continued her speech after announcing her card. "Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly." She then proceeded to make airplane sounds and bombs being exploded on the board itself.

Yang continued to look shocked as she patiently awaited her turn. Not wanting to crush her spirit.

"And since Atlas is a part of Mantle, my repair time only costs 1 turn." Ruby was now ducking on her end of the table as she said it, feeling very excited about the end of her turn.

Now it is Yang's turn. With a draw from her hand, Yang smugly grinned at Ruby. "Pretty sneaky, sis. But you just activated my trap card!"

"WHAT?!" Ruby exclaimed at that trap card Yang pulled from her hand, wasn't expecting a hidden card from her deck.

With a flick of her hand, Yang revealed her card to her sister. "{Reverse Uno-}"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...... *Large inhale* I'm sorry. I promise that's the last one.

"{Giant Nevermore}!" Yang proceeded to slam the card on the board as she playfully examined the battlefield. "If I roll a 7 or higher, fatal feathers will slice your army to ribbons."

However, Ruby decided to chance the roll and points at Yang. "But, if you roll a 6 or lower, then it will destroy your army instead of mine."

"That's a chance I'm willing to take!"

One roll later~

Yang triumphantly screams her success without garnering the attention of the Librarian, across them was Team JNPR doing their own activities.

While Ruby and Yang banter on; Ren and Pyrrha were studying by reading books, Nora was sleeping on a book while Jaune was reading intently on his book with the cover mostly obstructing his face.

What follows next is a series of sorrow, sore loser attitude, and smug.

"Nooooo!!! My fearless soldiers!!!"

"Eh, most of them were probably androids."

"Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged."

"Not until I claim my rewards! Which are double this round thanks to the Mistral Trading Route!"

"Bah!"

"Oh, what's this? The Smugglers of the Wind Path?"

"Bah! Bah, I say!"

During this conversation, Pyrrha confiscated the comic book Jaune was reading and instead gave him more books to read on. Nora absentmindedly talked in her sleep about 'Pancakes' and 'Sloths', making Y/N more confused about what connections does she have with the 2 subjects.

While Yang and Ruby dredge on about, Y/N walked around them to JNPR's table. He tapped Pyrrha's shoulder which makes her turn to him. "Oh. Hello, Y/N."

"Hi, Pyrrha." He took a seat across her, looking at the comic book she was reading. "Isn't that Jaune's?"

"It was. I am merely interested as to why he would read this instead of the books I recommended." Pyrrha questioned the logic of a plain-looking book and how it was more interesting than her's.

"Perhaps it has pictures?" A small laugh broke between Pyrrha and Y/N. Coughing on his hand, Y/N looked at the books Ren is studying. "What's with all the studying? I thought we had a test last week."

"Oh, this? This is merely for the fun of it." Pyrrha giggled at her answer, feeling satisfied with it.

"Reading is fun?!" Jaune loudly exclaimed, making most of the students here 'shush' him. He made his voice quieter for conversation. "Why would you call this fun? It's nothing but torture."

"Then, why were you reading that comic Jaune? Shouldn't it also be torture?" Y/N laughed at Jaune's embarrassed face as he pouts on his seat. "I'm joking. I'm sorry, Jaune."

Jaune was still pouting and decided to head to RWBY's table. Y/N rolled his eyes as he also stood up. "See ya, Pyrrha."

"Goodbye."

Walking to their table, Y/N saw Jaune talking to Weiss. Jaune was then kneeling in-front of Weiss and clasped his hands together, begging to play her turn.

"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo," Weiss stated to Jaune, standing firm from his resolve.

"Why not?" Jaune asked the Heiress, feeling left out. "You've trusted me way more important stuff before. I mean, you told all of us that Blake is secretly a-"

Before Jaune could utter the word, Y/N butted in at the last second before Pyrrha could. "Fan! Of 'Ninjas of Love' but, Jaune you can't go out in public while spreading a secret like that OKAY???~"

Y/N smiled a bit 'sweetly' as he pressured Jaune's arms, the Blonde Knight nodding furiously. Letting go, Jaune walked back to his group with some pain on his shoulders.

"Hi, Girls." Y/N said to Team RWBY with a small smile. They all looked at Y/N with a small glare.

"Hey, Y/N." All members of RWBY said simultaneously, likely still seething with anger.

Y/N twitched at their tone, sweating fear from his skin. "If you want another apology from this morning then; I'm sorry."

"It's not that." Weiss sighed, fighting a blush from her cheeks. "We've already forgiven you. It's Aigis."

Y/N was a bit surprised, hearing that from Weiss as most of them agreed with her. "Speaking of Aigis, where is she?"

Yang answered, still feeling awesome from her turn. "Prof. Goodwitch said that she'll be a student here and that she needed to teach her some manners."

Thanking Yang for the answer, Ruby pointed a finger at Y/N. "But that doesn't explain why she was in there in the first place!"

Instantly, RWBY and JNPR were staring at Y/N. "Uuuhhhhh..." With nothing but noise, Y/N prayed for some sort of interference to get him out of this situation.

And that interference was in the shape of a monkey.

"Sup, losers." Sun walked in, Neptune nearby. Y/N thanked his lucky stars as now Sun was drawing attention.

Ruby shifted her gaze to Sun with a friendly smile. "Hi, Sun. " That seemed to cool off Ruby's head but Y/N can tell that she isn't done with him. Not by a long shot.

Sighing, Y/N waved at Sun. "Yo."

"Ruby, Yang, Blake, YN... Ice Queen." Sun said to them, making Weiss a bit angry.

"Why does everyone keep calling me that?!"

Sun ignored her rant and gestured Neptune beside him. "I never got to formally introduce my old friend here."

Neptune then looked at the game board RWBY was playing and laid out a point. "Uhh, aren't libraries for reading?"

As if being snapped, Ren mildly shouted. "Thank you!"

Jolting from her nap, Nora said out loud the first thought she woke up. "Pancakes!"

Sun snorted at Neptune's comment and acted like a cool kid. "Shut up. Don't be a nerd."

Neptune defended with a wiggle on his finger. "Ah, ah, ah. 'Intelectual'." Neptune corrected his Faunus friend with a slight glare. "I'm Neptune."

Weiss is slightly intrigued by Neptune's attitude and body language as she scoots near him. "So, Neptune. Where are you from?"

"Haven." Neptune smoothly answeres as he slides close to Weiss. "And I don't believe I've caught your name, Snow Angel."

Stuttering lightly, Weiss spoke with a small blush. "Um, I'm Weiss."

Seeing the event fold out in front of him, Jaune felt a bit frustrated that someone new charmed his crush. "Are you kidding me?!"

Y/N gently rubs his back in pity as Jaune wallows in defeat. Pyrrha beside him as he leads him back to their table with Jaune reading his book in silence.

"Pleasure to meet you." Neptune greeted back to Weiss, also charming him in the process.

Sun then noticed Blake holding some cards on her hands and leaned down next to her. "I never took you as the board game playing type."

Having enough of the commotion, Blake lightly shoved Sun aside. "Right, well, I think I'm done playing here. I'll see you guys later." Blake left without another word, worrying her friends.

"Women," Nora said a comment in the background.

Feeling more worried, Y/N gave chase as he looked at RWBY. "I'll go check on her. See you at the dorms."

With Y/N gone as well as Blake, RWBY sighed collectively as Sun and Neptune were confused. "What's wrong?"

Yang looked at where they left with a bored expression. "It's Y/N again."

"Every time one of us has a personal problem, Y/N always interfere and try to help us," Weiss said, her expression was annoyed. "Honestly, I'm beginning to question his motives."

"Yeah." Ruby agreed with her team with a cute pout. But she slowly smiles as Ruby fondly why he does them. "But he always puts a smile with us and always done what he thinks is justice."

Yang nodded with her sister. "True. It was nice of him to stand up against bullies like Cardin and he's fun to talk to."

Weiss sighed as she also remembers what Y/N did for her. "Y/N has done so much for us but he never asks anything back. He is noble and valiant, strong enough to fight against the corrupt with a strong mind to talk things through."

All members of RWBY smiled softly at Y/N's actions up to this point as they all couldn't help but admire all he did.

"So... you guys like Y/N?" Sun asked the group, not noticing their own blushing faces.

"Huh?"

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was now nighttime at Beacon as most students were now returning to their dorms for tomorrow. Most of them are now feeling tired from doing activities in the morning and afternoon and about to sleep it all off.

In the dorm room of RWBY, Blake was seen sitting on her bed with her knees at her chest as shown by hugging them close to her.

The reason for her demeanor was what happened the night at the docks, seeing fellow brethren following the orders of a well-known thief in Vale as they attempted to steal Dust there. Looking at how far the White Fang has fallen, Blake can't help but be sad at how far they've fallen and now, her goals were a bit jumbled with what is going on right now.

Various voices filled her head, remembering the words of Roman.

"Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?" Blake asked the Faunus' in uniform, answers demanded.

"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business adventure together," Roman said to her, looking calm and smug at how Blake felt.

A series of explosions and grunts echoed in her mind, traumatized that the people she wanted to protect were now attempting to kill her as well as humans.

"Blake..." She was then broke out of her thoughts by Y/N when he entered the room.

"Y-Y/N." Her voice slightly cracking, the feeling of sadness and depression taking root in her heart.

Without a voice, Y/N sat at her bed near her with his fingers crossed. He took one glance at Blake before opening his mouth. "Not feeling well?"

She weakly nodded, silence entered the conversation as Y/N didn't want to push it anymore than he has to.

"Hey, Y/N?" Blake looked at him with a downcast expression. "How would you feel... if someone tried to take your life?"

Y/N slightly widened his eyes at the question but sighed at it. "I.. don't know you would ask something like that. Has it got something to do with what happened at the docks?"

Blake nodded at his question. "The men and women I fight for, I would kill for and gladly die for has become something more... sinister and I feel like it was my fault for doing so."

"What? Why?" Y/N moved closer to Blake, his attention is now hers.

Blake shuffled a bit from how close Y/N was, not feeling a blush on her cheeks as she gazed at the broken moon. The longer she gazed, the more how she has to tell Y/N. "Because I left when they were at their lowest."

Blake then spoke the events that transpired {RWBY: Black Trailer}, with her leaving the White Fang and going to Beacon for a change of goals. She left because of how the White Fang is being operated in shadows and killing any and all humans they see, especially at the SDC since of their history with Faunus and abusive relationships with them.

She let her heart out as Blake has seen many deaths fallen by Humans and Faunus' alike and the massacre doesn't stop with more and more requests, it was all too overwhelming for her. That is until Y/N held her shoulder.

Blake stopped her rant as Y/N looked at her with a worried face. Feeling something warm, she noticed that she shed some tears and that Y/N stopped has stopped her from going further.

"Whatever happened to you and the White Fang, is done." Y/N said, releasing his hand from her shoulder. "What matters now is how you can fix this and no matter where you go and what you will do, I'll be there to share the burden with you."

Blake was taken back at Y/N's speech and smiled sweetly at it. He was right, what happened before stays and now, she has a chance to rectify her mistakes and hopefully achieve her goal as a peace broker between Faunus and Humans. "Thank you, Y/N. For being here with me."

Y/N only nodded at her while giving a big smile. "It's what friends are for."

Shortly after, RWY is now entering the room with a grumbling Yang. Y/N moved away from Blake with a blush and vice versa.

"Ugh, we should have never let him play," Yang grumbled under her breath, feeling like she was cheated from her own game.

Ruby smugly retorted with her own, relishing the defeat of her older sister. "You're just mad that the new guy beat you! See, if you had just attack when I told you then none of this had ever happened."

Feeling that her friends would leave her out, Blake sought to leave. "Stop." Before Weiss stood before her.

"Lately, you've been anti-social, quiet, and moody!" Weiss pointed the fact out to her, decided to get the root of the problem.

"Uh, have you met Blake?" Yang questioned the social awareness of Weiss.

Ignoring the comment, Weiss continued. "Which I get is your thing but you've been doing it more so than late. And quite frankly, is unacceptable. We made a promise that if one of us is having trouble they would let us know is something is wrong!"

Using the power of animations, Weiss flips over 6 of her emblems through the air and stood on a chair on its back feet and points at Blake.

"So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong?!" Weiss balanced on the chair as she said that, shortly after returning back and standing near Ruby and Yang.

Y/N then leans on their study table and wisely decided to not say anything.

Feeling more confident for her team, Blake fessed up her turmoil. "I just, don't understand how everyone can be so calm."

Linking it together, Ruby deduced what is really happening and approached her. "You're still thinking about Torchwick?"

Seeing her point made, Blake goes on. "Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!"

Yang then put her coin on the table with a warning. "Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the Huntsman, I'm sure they can handle it."

Feeling like it isn't enough, Blake stood her ground. "Well, I'm not! They don't know the White Fang as I do!"

"Blake, are you suggesting we do something about it?" Y/N asked the Faunus of the group with a hint of worry. But not for their well being but how the world will acknowledge it.

"We can't do anything about it!" Weiss, being the voice of reason in the group, stated it out loud for them to see. "Because we're students! We're not ready to handle these sorts of situations!"

"And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just gonna sit around and wait our graduation day!" Blake angrily pointed at their door. "They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move and none of us knows what it is but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not."

Silence once again graces their room as both sides of the coin seems favorable for one team but the other one only leans to safety. Knowing that this predicament will never solve itself, Y/N proposed a solution.

"Then we won't have to go as students." That made everyone look at Y/N, with his hand outstretched. "What if... we can go investigate, stop their plans, and delay the attack without giving ourselves away?"

"Your Semblance?" Weiss asked Y/N. "But I thought you can only use it for attacks?"

"I do, but there's more. Lately, I've been testing a few experiments and I want to try something new." With his Aura flaring his body, Y/N was engulfed in a bright light and made RWBY cover their eyes.

{Transformation Magic} or {Convertion Magic} allows the user to transform his body into any form or shape he can imagine, and can only be diminished if the user runs out of Mana or allows him to dispel. Coupled with his {Aura Create: Greater}, he can last as long as as needed to be.

When the light died down, Y/N was nowhere to be seen. The form he wanted was something so crazy, so stupid to be out there it might work. So long as Loki doesn't see him or someone he knows, the disguise will work for this specific mission.

What stood before them was a ravenet teen, with large curly hairs and a lean figure the man before them was so plain looking that it was near perfect. The clothes he wore were similar to theirs but black and red stripes. Glasses adorned on his pointed nose as he opened his eyes to be charcoal grey in color.

Ruby was the first to see the teen before her, unconsciously she said his name. "Y/N?"

The teen looked back at Ruby with a small smile and nodded, soon everyone saw the Y/N they knew transform into someone else.

"Holy crap is that really you, Y/N?" Yang asked incredulously, needing confirmation that Y/N was the same teen before her.

"It's still me Yang." His voice sounded deeper, which made him sexier as he gave a small laugh. "I guess this experiment was a success?"

"How did you..." Weiss had her mouth agape, not comprehending the sight before her.

"As I said Weiss, it was a theory I wanted to test first. And it appears it's successful." Looking at his body, Y/N was able to recreate the protagonist of {Persona 5} as his voice and accessories match with in-game.

Dismissing the illusion was like popping a balloon, with Y/N dusting off the remaining remnants of dust. He then looked at Blake with a smile. "So, what do you think?"

Blake blinked owlishly as her mind comprehended what happened. With a nod, Blake smiled as well. "It will do."

Feeling her excitement level about to burst, Ruby jumped to the air. "Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest Hunters and Huntresses to single-handedly take down a corrupt organization conspiring the Kingdom of Vale... say aye!"

Yang pumps her fist enthusiastically with her sister. "Yes! I love it when you're feisty!"

Weiss reluctantly agrees with her partner. "Well, I suppose it could be fun."

Y/N only gave a wide grin of approval to Ruby.

Blake then sealed the deal with a nod. "Alright then, we're in this together!"

Pouting childishly, Ruby fumed. "None of you said aye!" Shaking her head, Ruby pressed on with it. "Let's hatch a plan!"

"Yeah!" Yang double finger-guns her sister.

"I forgot the game board at the library!"

Facpalming, Weiss sighed. "We're doomed."

Ruby then ran to the door with her Semblance. "I'll be back later." With that sped off.

Y/N turned his head to the rest of the girls while motioning his room. "Guess we'll do this tomorrow. Good night."

"Night." All of them said at the same time.

Walking out of the room, Y/N saw Ruby interacting with students wearing a different uniform than Beacon. Y/N instantly recognizes them as he walked over to them.

"Visiting from Haven actually." Another woman appeared behind them, likely their boss with how Emerald's sidestepped to let her pass.

The moment she appeared, Y/N's blood boiled with hate. He wanted to end her, right now and then. He could just use {ID Create} to transport her into his own dimension and battle her effortlessly.

Ruby stared at Cinders' molten eyes for a while, unable to break away.

"Ruby, what are you doing?" Y/N broke her concentration as he walked into the scene. "Who are they?"

"Students from Haven." Cinder answered, strutting her body towards him. "I believe we haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Cinder. They are Emerald and Mercury."

"A pleasure. Y/N and Ruby." He answered Ruby, standing near him. "What are you doing here?"

Cinder giggled slightly and covered her mouth. "Can't you tell?"

"Oh." Ruby the pounded her fist to her palm and pointed at them. "You're here for the festival. But exchange students have their own dormitory!"

Mercury spoke to them for the first time. "Guess we just got turned about."

"Maybe someone gave the map to a monkey." Stifling a laugh, Cinder and her 'friends' walked past them.

"Uh... Your building is east of here." Ruby corrected them.

"Thanks." Cinder thanked the Red Reaper.

Y/N is still staring at Cinder with a suspicious gaze. Cinder decided to humor him, walked past him, and for a moment, made her eyes glow a bright orange. Ruby noticed that Y/N hasn't stopped staring at them and feels concerned.

"You alright, Y/N?"

Cinder and her cronies disappeared after turning a corner, making it more suspicious that they headed south instead of north.

"No." Y/N unlocked the door to his dorm as he took a glance at the hallway. "No, I am not."

"Y/N..."

"Your board game, Ruby?"

"Oh, right. See ya."

Seeing her figure do away, Y/N looked back once more with a hardened expression.

"I'll be seeing you soon, bitch."
