Chapter 29 -Departure-
"So, you're going to train us to become stronger?" Rogue asked.
"And we'll be going away from Beacon for a while?" Nickel asked.
"That is correct. Ozpin requested me to train you. But we'll be going to my world, so we can train peacefully. But, well be going tonight. So, there's plenty of time for you to explain it to your girlfriends what's going to happen and still spend some time with them. Also, don't tell them that I'm a god, I don't want to attract that kind of attention," I explained to them.
"Alright, thank you for giving us time. We'll meet you at the entrance of Beacon, tonight," said Nickel.
"No problem, I'll see you later," I said as I leave the dorm, Neo following behind me.
"So, this time (F/n) is going to teach us how to fight. Seams that our rolls has switched up," said Nickel as he let's out a chuckle.
"Yeah, I wonder what he has in store for us," said Rogue as he puts his Katana in his sheath.
"Well, I'll go and see Amethyst. I'll see you around, Rogue," said Nickel as he leaves the dorm.
-Rogue's Last Day at Beacon-
Rogue made his way towards Team CFVY's dorm to see his girlfriends Coco and Velvet and break them the news. Once he arrived at set dorm, he knocked on the door and moments later, Coco opened the door.
"Oh, hey Snow Fox, what can I do for you?" Coco asked.
"Hey Coco. Can you and Velvet come out for a second? I need to talk about something important," Rogue said in a serious tone.
"Sure, just give me a moment," said Coco as she went back inside her dorm.
Inside the dorm, Rogue could hear Coco and velvet talking a bit before both of them exited their dorm.
"Hey Rogue. You needed to talk to us? Is something wrong?"
"Well... I got some bad news. I'm going to be leaving Beacon for a while and I'll be leaving tonight. Ozpin's orders," Rogue explained in a sad tone.
Both of them went quiet after hearing this.
"Girls?" Rogue asked with a concerned voice.
Suddenly, both Coco and Velvet tackled him and hugged him for dear life.
"Please, don't go!" Velvet pleaded.
"We'll miss you!" said Coco.
"I'm sorry, girls. But I have no choice in this. But we can still spend time together today. Hey, I got an idea. How about we spend the time together on a date. It has been a while, after all," he said, trying to cheer the two girls up.
"I... I would like that," said Velvet.
"Yeah, anything to spend some time with our Snow Fox," said Coco.
The three of them soon left Beacon and made their way to Vale.
-Nickel's Last Day at Beacon-
Nickel made his way towards Amethyst's dorm and knocked on her door. Moments later, she opened the door.
"Oh, hello Nickel. What brings you here?" she asked with a smile.
"Well, I fear that I got some bad news," he said in a sad tone.
"Oh, what's wrong, darling?" she asked with worry as she invited him in.
Nickel walks inside, and face her again.
"*Sigh* I'll be leaving Beacon for a while," he said in a serious tone.
"Why?" she asked curiously.
"Just some special training, Ozpin's orders," he explained.
"Oh... when are you going?" she asked, in a sad tone.
"Tonight. But we still got enough time to spend together. So, how about we go to the harbor, just like old time?" He asked, holding out his had to her.
"Yeah, just like old time," she said with a sad smile as she grabs his hand.
Both of them made their way towards Vale, but on the way, he decided to do something special for Amethyst.
"Amethyst, I want to give you this," Nickel said as he handed his cane to her.
"Your cane?" she asked, surprised.
"See it as a reminder for once I'm gone. Who knows, maybe it will save you one day," he said with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Amethyst asked, feeling a bit unsure of his decision.
"I'm sure. Take it," He said, handing his cane to her.
"T-Thank you, Nickel. I'm going to take good care of it, just for you," said Amethyst, kissing his cheek.
-(F/n)'s Last Day at Beacon-
I was at the courtyards of Beacon lying against a tree with Neo, who was playing with Echo.
"What do you think of Echo?" I said as I let out a chuckle.
'I'm more surprised that she's so tame,' Neo signed as she patted the Hydra Grimm.
"So was I when I first met her," I said with a smile.
While we were chatting, I noticed Team RWBY walking towards me, looking a bit sad.
"Hello girls, what can I do for you?" I asked.
"How could you just leave!?" Blake snapped.
"Excuse me?" I asked them.
"You just arrived back at Beacon and you're going again?" Ruby asked.
"Oh that. Yeah, sorry about that, but it's Ozpin's orders. Also, be grateful that you're still alive," I explained to them.
"We are, but..." Blake started, with a sad tone.
"How can you just leave again!?" said Yang with a mix of anger and sadness in her voice.
"Like I said, Ozpin's orders," I said while I stand up.
There was a moment of silent between all of us. Suddenly, Ruby went and hugged me as she burst into tears again.
"I'm sorry for what I did to you. Please, forgive me!" she pleaded as she continued to cry.
"Ruby, I already forgave you before I made that bet with everyone," I said as I petted her head, trying to calm her down.
"That count for all of you," I said to the rest of the group.
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
"I don't get you," said Weiss.
"Don't get what?" I asked her as I let go of Ruby.
"All of us killed you once, and yet you forgive us so easily. Why?" Weiss asked a bit frustrated.
"Because I think ahead. I try to think ahead of the actions or punishments I give to others and what consequences it'll have. I've done that to all of you and everyone near me. I may be a judge, but I do think about the consequences," I explained to her.
Everyone went silent again after hearing that.
"So... you always had a reason to forgive us?" Yang asked in disbelieve.
"Pretty much, yes," I responded to them.
"So... when are you going?" Blake asked hesitantly.
"Tonight. But my team will return after a while. Not sure how long it will take to train them," I explained to them.
Everyone let out a sigh of relieve when they heard this, but their expression was still a sad one.
"Oh cheer up girls. I'll be back before you know it," I said trying to cheer them up.
"(F/n)... would you like to come to the cafeteria with us? Just like old time?" Ruby asked.
I look back at Neo, who was still playing with Echo, and she just shrugged her shoulders in a 'why not' manner.
"Sure. Are you coming as well, Neo?" I asked her.
'Nah, I'm allowing them to spend some time with you before we go. After all, we'll have enough time to spend together,' she gestured as she continued to play with Echo.
"Alright, if you say so, Ice Cream," I said to her with a smile.
'See you at the gates, Angel Boy,' she gestured.
I started to make my way to the cafeteria with Team RWBY.
-Beacon's Gate, Night-
I was waiting at the gate with Neo and Echo by my side. In the distance, I saw Ozpin walking towards me with Rogue and Nickel by his side.
"Greatings, Phoenix. I see that you're prepared to go with team Sylph," said Ozpin.
"Yeah, but a fair warning. Training won't be easy," I said to them.
"I'm prepared for anything," said Rogue.
"I'll do anything to protect those I care the most," said Nickel.
"I'm glad to hear that. Has everyone said their goodbye?" I asked to them, by which they nodded.
"Alright then, let's go," I said as I created a portal behind me.
"May your training go well, Team Sylph," said Ozpin as everyone entered the portal.
