"Ghostbusters?" Sienna asked with a very confused look. "What exactly goes on in this universe?"

"Well, I think the name is pretty self-explanatory within itself." Vortech said. "That is of course if you just so happen to have the mind of a two-year old."

"But ghosts aren't real." Sienna replied back with a stern look.

"The last time we saw this universe speaks otherwise." Ironwood said.

Everybody else, that wasn't Ilia or Sienna,  nodded in agreement. A few of the students shivering a bit in fear when they remembered the Librarian ghost.

Sienna and Ilia looked at everyone around them, and from what they saw, it definitely seemed like they saw a ghost in this universe.

Sienna just sighed before she looked at Vortech. "Fine, so there are ghosts in this universe. Can at least give me and Ilia a recap?"

Though before Vortech could speak, Ruby beat him to the punch.

"Well, headmaster Ozpin, uncle Qrow, and Professor Oobleck—." Ruby started as he turned around in her seat to face the White Fang High-Leader.

"Doctor Oobleck. I didn't get a doctorate for fun." Oobleck quickly corrected the little red reaper.

"Headmaster Ozpin, Qrow, and Doctor Oobleck..." Ruby corrected, mentally sighing at the history teacher. "...were all college professors who were called into this big library were a poor old women was scared by a ghost, so the three of them went to investigate only to get scared off by the ghost—which first looked like a old librarian only to soon look like a really freaky monster—anyways Ozpin, Qrow, and Oobleck got back to the college only to find themselves fired from their jobs. From there they bought a huge firehouse, Oobleck got a weird looking car that Vortech said was an ambulance—and then they started a ghost busting business . That's when Weiss's mom found a weird portal in her fridge that led to the ghost world and was scared by a terror dog and then ran over to the firehouse and that's where we left off." Ruby said, speaking very fast as she did so.

Sienna and Ilia just stared at Ruby, eyes wide at how fats she spoke.

Vortech just looked between Sienna and Ruby with a blank face. "You get all that?" He asked Sienna.

"I-I think?" Sienna replied to him, not entirely sure that she got everything Ruby said while also feeling like she just nearly survived being trampled on by a heard of Goliaths.

Vortech then faced Ruby. "Thank you for your contribution, Miss Rose."

"Always happy to help!" Ruby cheerfully said with a smile as she faced back towards the screen.

Ilia then leaned over to Blake. "I got lost after the part about college professors."

Blake nodded and started to whisper into Ilia's ear, giving her a slower and easier explanation then Ruby did.

The viewing opens up to the face of Willow Schnee on an infrared computer screen, her face and hair shades of blue green and orange. The image mimicked every movement that Willow made with her face.
___________________________

"What did they put on her head?" Weiss asked

"It's labeled as an Aura video-analyzer." Vortech said, prompting Penny and Ruby to raise their hands. "And no, it has nothing to do with the aura that you know."

At this, Penny and Ruby lowered their hands as Pietro began to speak. "If that's the case, then how does this machine work?" The elderly Polendina asked

"It's base function is that of a lie detector, but it's been upgraded to identify if the person hooked up to it is possessed by some form of supernatural creature." Vortech explained.

"I see." Pietro nodded his head in understanding.

"That would definitely prove useful in certain situations." Ozpin mused.

"Aren't lie detectors, you know, easy to pass?" Roman asked.

"He's got a point." Qrow said while pointing to the criminal. "All you gotta do is be calm and you can pass with flying colors."

"The aura video-analyzer is far more accurate than most lie detectors." Vortech explained. "That and Ozpin built it himself."

"...Okay, yeah I'll give you that one." Qrow replied back to Vortech, Roman shrugging one agreement.

___________________________

"And this voice said, "Zuul." And then I slammed the refrigerator door and I left." Willow said as it was revealed that she had wire-connected patch's on both sides of her head.

"That was two days ago, and I haven't been back to my apartment." Willow finished explaining to Qrow.

"Generally, you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance." Qrow have his two-cented reply to Willow.
___________________________

"You wouldn't see that in any major appliance." Roman stated, putting emphasis on "any".

'She should get a refund.' Neo signed.

___________________________

It is then revealed that Willow is in an upper level of the Firehouse, in a room filled with computers and other machinery stack along shelves.

Oobleck and Ozpin were in the room as well, Oobleck—wearing a blue jacket with a beige collar and white t-shirt underneath, as well as black pants—was checking over with the computer that Willow was being monitored with, and Ozpin—in his lab coat wearing a head lamp—was kneeling next to Willow.

"What do you think it was?" Qrow asked Willow.
___________________________

"That was a stupid question." Winter said as she crossed her arms.

"How so?" Qrow asked, rising up to the challenge.

"Dude, come on." Tai said while having a blank look on his face.

"What?" Qrow asked.

___________________________

"Well, if I knew what it was, I wouldn't be here." Willow replied to Qrow as Ozpin took off the patches from the side of her head
___________________________

"My point exactly." Winter said with a smug look.

Qrow grumbled am insult to her in silence as Tai merely shook his head.

___________________________

"Ozpin, what do you think?" Qrow asked the smartest in the room.

"She's telling the truth." Ozpin said, turning to Qrow, head lamp still on and now blaring into Qrow's eyes as he turned away from Ozpin and tried to wave off the bright light.

"At least she thinks she is." Ozpin finished with his statement, turning off his head lamp which caused Qrow to try and readjust his eyesight after having it blared at with the bright light.

"Well, of course I'm telling the truth." Willow starts to defend herself as Ozpin takes off the head lamp. "What—Who would make up a story like that?" She asked to the three scientists.
___________________________

"If it wasn't for the fact that it was true, it definitely sounds like something Nora would make up." Ren said with a straight face.

"Blasphemy!" Nora cried out while pointing her finger at Ren. "My stories are always true.

Ren just lightly rolled his eyes at her while Weiss began to speak.

"I wouldn't seem very far fetched if someone said they found a demon dog inside their fridge." Weiss said, though still slightly worried for her onscreen mother.

"I'm sure Qrow can handle your mom's problem." Yang said while a confident smile while crossing her arms.

This caused Qrow to smile at his niece.

"And besides that, he has Ozpin and Oobleck with him." Ruby stated. "There's no way they can fail!"

And this caused Qrow to slightly frown. "It just sounded like you overshadowed me with Oz and Barty."

At this, Ruby's eye went white with nervousness. "U-u-u-h-h..." she trailed off as she looked off to the side.

___________________________

"Some are people who just want attention. Others are just nutballs who come in off the street." was Qrow's reply to Willow's question

"You know what it could be?" Oobleck asked after he took a sip from a can of beer. "Past-life experience intruding on present time." Oobleck said as he sat down on a couch, Qrow having a deadpan look at Bart's theory before looking to Willow who wasn't really believing what the green-haired scientist was speaking.

"Could be erased memories stored in the collective subconscious. I wouldn't rule out clairvoyance or telepathic contact either." Ozpin said as he went to sit on the couch with Oobleck, grabbing a box of Cheez-its on the way.
___________________________

"Those all both strange yet plausible reasons." Glynda said with a nod.

Ozpin on the other hand focused his attention on the snack box that he was eating straight out off.

"Yeah, I didn't really get most of what headmaster Ozpin and Doctor Oobleck just said." Jaune said with a shake of his head.

"I'm pretty sure they were just chopping to down to her mind playing tricks on her." Pyrrha tried her best to explain to her team leader.

"Ah. I see now. Thanks, Pyrrha." Jaune thanked his partner with a smile, prompting the red head to smile back at him.

___________________________

Willow just put a hand to her face and slightly shook her head. "I'm sorry. I don't believe in those things." She replied to Ozpin and Oobleck with a smile that said just read that she didn't believe what they're were saying.

"Well, that's all right." Qrow said, jumping out of his chair a bit and walking over to the chair Willow was sitting in

"I don't believe in any of that stuff either." Qrow replied to Willow, Ozpin and Oobleck looking at each, their faces knowing that Qrow was trying to pull something with her.
___________________________

"You're treading on thin ice, Qrow." Winter said as she glared at said man.

"Oh, cool your jets, Ice Queen senior. You can't blame me for something a different version of me did." Qrow said in his defense.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You see, I was under the pretense that most of our positions in each universe is meant to be a reflection of our own selves." Winter said in a mock apologetic tone. "Are you inferring that you wouldn't try and pull something similar to this?"

Qrow looked at her for a few moments before he spoke. "Well I'm not saying that I wouldn't. I'm just saying that I haven't."

At this, Winter gave Qrow a cold and dark look. "Ever lay a finger on my mother and I will personally see to your execution."

Qrow just retaliated by giving her the middle finger.

While this was going on, Tai was talking to the other teachers.

"I really like it how Ozpin and Oobleck can tell right away with Qrow's hijinks." Tai said with a chuckle.

"Work alongside someone for so long and you start to understand how they work." Port said with a smirk.

"I do wonder how long Qrow, the Headmaster, and I have known each other in this universe." Oobleck pondered while adjusting his glasses. "Despite our differences, we don't seem to have all that many issues with each other."

"I'm certain it would quite the tale." Ozpin said with a smile, joining in on the conversation.

___________________________

"But there are some things we do, standard procedures in a case like this, which often bring us results." Qrow spoke while walking around Willow's chair, looking towards Ozpin and Oobleck for ideas.

"Well, I could go to Hall of Records and check out the structural details in the building." Oobleck suggested as Ozpin looked at him while eating some Cheez-its. "And maybe the building itself has a history of psychic turbulence." Oobleck finished.

Qrow nodded vigorously at what Barty was suggesting. "Right. Good idea." He said as he looked back at Willow.

"I could look for the name "Zuul" in the usual literature." Ozpin suggested.

"Spates Catalog." Oobleck suggested.

"Tobin Spirit Guide." Ozpin replied back.
___________________________

"Spates Catalog? Tobin's Spirit Guide?" Yang questioned. "What are those?"

"They are books that heavily entail about the supernatural and their known habits." Vortech explained to the blonde brawler of Team RWBY.

"Ooh, fascinating. Books such as those would most certainly be useful in this type of work." Oobleck spoke quickly, with a hint of controlled excitement in his voice.

Meanwhile, Blake has finger to her chin about the possibilities of the mentioned books. "Books about ghosts? They sound like they could be interesting reads." Blake mused.

"I'm willing to bet they'd be more appropriate then the usual smut you read." Yang said while giving her partner a blank look.

"It's literature. Quite trying to compare it a pornography magazine." Blake replied to Yang with a stern look.

""Then quite trying to deny that it isn't porn/it's still smut."" Yang and Ilia said respectively at the same time, getting Blake to look at both of them in slight shock.

Though when Yang heard that Ilia said something similar to what she said at the same time, she grew a bright smile and raised her hand over Blake's head. "Up top!"

Ilia, who was also a little surprised that she agreed with a human, was a little nervous about giving Yang a high-five. Though when she saw that the blonde brawler hadn't retracted her hand, Ilia relented and, slowly but surely, high-fived Yang—albeit with a nervous look to her.

___________________________

"Yeah. Tell you what." Qrow said as he looked down at Willow before looking back to his two friends. "I'll take Miss Schnee back to her apartment and check her out." Qrow said, getting a quick look from Willow in the process, something Qrow must have sensed because he fixed himself right away.
___________________________

Winter became nearly livid at Qrow's suggestion.

"Dammit, Qrow." Tai sighed with a shake of his head.

"Yeah, I'll admit. I could've done that better." Qrow said, though that really didn't help his situation.

"He's got it bad for her." Roman told to Neo with a smirk, Neo nodding in agreement.

Ozpin and Glynda sighed. Oobleck and Port shook their heads. Ironwood just facepalmed at onscreen Qrow's actions.

"Ruby?" Weiss spoke to her teammate

"Yes, Weiss?" Ruby asked her partner.

"I'm starting to dislike your uncle more and more." Weiss said while she looked at the screen.

"Oh, come on, Weiss. He's not all that—." Ruby tries to defend her uncle, but one angry look from Weiss told her she was not having it. "...right, shutting up."

___________________________

"I'll go check out Miss Schnee's apartment. Okay?" Qrow said with a sharp blink after the slip-up he just did before looking back at Willow.

"Okay." Willow nodded as she looked back at Ozpin and Oobleck.

Qrow just rolled his eyes as he muttered to himself about his slip-up.
___________________________

"Nice save." Roman said with a chuckle.

"She's gotta be onto what Qrow's trying to pull by now." Yang stated.

"Hmph. Saying this about the woman who married the man who would be known as Jacques Schnee." Ilia muttered in a lowered voice so no one could hear her.

That wasn't the case for Blake as her bow twitched. The young cat faunus then elbowed her Ilia in the side, causing the chameleon faunus to look over to Blake who gave her a stern look.

___________________________

"Thank you." Willow said as she got up from her chair, Qrow balling his hand into a fist as he hit his forehead with the top of the fist, following Willow soon after.

Cut back to the view of Willow's ornate apartment before it cuts to Willow in her black coat opening her apartment door and looking a little weary of what might be waiting for her.

Qrow—wearing a brown jacket over his button-up shirt—just rushes the door open as he starts moving around the apartment. "Please, let me. If something's gonna happen here, I want it to happen to me first." Qrow said as he moved last Willow, said woman closing the door behind them.
___________________________

"Such a gentleman." Winter sarcastically crawled out.

"Thank you." Qrow said.

"I was being sarcastic." Winter said as she narrowed her eyes at Qrow.

"I know." He replied back.

Ironwood looked at the scene in thought, and then back and Qrow and Winter.

"The way this version of Qrow is acting towards Willow isn't that different than how Jacques was able to marry into the Schnee family." Ironwood thought to himself. "Though unlike Jacques, who went after Willow for the Schnee name, this Qrow is acting like this due to meeting her for the first time without any prior knowledge of her. And while Qrow has a lot of issues, I'll admit he would make a better husband and parent then that man."

___________________________

Qrow moved quickly to another door, causing Willow to quickly back away from him as Qrow looked for any signs of paranormal activity, or in his case, act like he's doing his job.

"That's the closet." Willow told Qrow who had a device in his hand. The device was hooked up to a small box at the side of his hip as he held a rod-like part of the instrument that had a squeezable handle, something that he was squeezing quite a bit as he looked around the apartment living room.

Qrow walls over to a closed piano, opening it up a bit with his free hand as he used the back of his fingers to mess with two of the keys.

"They hate this." Qrow explained to Willow with a bit of a smirk. "I like to torture them." Qrow continued on as he continued tapping against the keys. "That's right boys. It's Dr. Branwen." Qrow called out to any would-be spirits within the apartment as he moved away from the piano.
___________________________

"I think this describes Qrow's usual actions quiet well." Glynda said with a dull look.

"It's cause you guys make it too easy." Qrow replied back to her with a slight smirk.

At this, Qrow received man blank stares from not just the Beacon staff, but Tai, Winter, and Ironwood.

"Dude. Don't push it." Tai warned him.

Penny observed this, and started to speak to Ruby and Yang. "It would seem that your uncle is not very well liked amongst 80% of the adults in this room."

"It's not that people don't like him, it's just,... uh..." Ruby tried to explain to her robotic friend.

"He just likes to get on people's nerves a lot. That's all." Yang replied to Penny.

"Yeah! That." Ruby agreed with her older sister.

"Oh... I see." Penny replies back with a smile.

___________________________

Moving around the living room a bit, Qrow repeatedly squeezed on the instrument, said device making a comical sucking noise while doing so.

"A lot of space." Qrow commented to Willow, who was getting ready to remove her purse. "Just you?" He asked her.

"Yes." Willow simply replies while looking at Qrow a bit strangely.

"Good." Qrow simply replies in return.
___________________________

Ruby sighed as she watched the scenes unfold. "This is very hard to watch." She said with a cringe.

"Does your uncle always act like this around women?" Blake asked with a raised brow.

"Don't put it like that." Yang started. "He may not be the easiest guy to get along with, but he does have good heart."

"Yeah." Ruby agreed.

"We saw this version of your uncle try and flirt with a student in a similar manner." Weiss reminded the two sisters.

"Wait, your uncle flirted with a student?" Ilia asked. "Isn't that against the rules of being a teacher?"

"The Qrow in this universe did that, not our Qrow, but that's besides the point." Yang said. "I'm sure this version of our uncle is only like this cause he genuinely likes this version of Weiss's mom."

___________________________

"What is that thing you're doing?" Willow asked Qrow about the device as she got her purse off, now holding it in her hands.

Qrow just looked down at the instrument he kept on squeezing. "It's technical." Qrow replies to Willow. "It's one of our little toys."

"I see." Willow replied with a nod and a smile.

As Willow vegans to remove her coat, Qrow walks towards another room that was close to the living room, something Willow noticed.

"That's the bedroom." Willow explained to Qrow as he opened up to door to look in it. "But nothing ever happened in there."

Qrow looks around the room a bit before returning to the living room and closing the bedroom door, from which he through out his double-meaning comment. "What a crime." Qrow replied back to Willow.
___________________________

"Nice one." Roman said with a light chuckle.

Glynda sighed while pinching the bridge of her nose. "I don't know who's worse at flirting. This version of Qrow or James."

"It's obviously Jimmy." Qrow quickly said.

"Wha-why am I being brought into this?" Ironwood asked with some surprise in his voice.

Glynda just gave Ironwood a cold stare. "You know why. Or do I need to remind you of all your failed advances towards me."

At this, Ironwood started to sputter in embarrassment.

"Sir?" Winter asked, slightly confused to what Glynda was talking about.

"Oh-hoh-hoh-ho." Roman chuckled as he looked at Ironwood.

'Saucey.' Neo signed.

"Hmph. Someone's in trouble." Sienna said with a smirk, finding some amusement in the Atlas General being caught with his pants down.

___________________________

This caused Willow to look up a bit, an almost deadpan look on her face while Qrow continued to walk around.

"You know, you don't act like a scientist." Willow replied to Qrow as he moved behind her past the piano.

"They're usually pretty stiff." Qrow replied to Willow as he faces her.

"You're more like a game show host." Willow commented towards Qrow.

This comment seemed to get to Qrow as he just watched as Willow put down her scarf before turning his head left of her.

"That the kitchen, huh?" Qrow asked Willow as he turned back to face her.
___________________________

"Using his ego against him. Smart." Sienna said with a nod. "I'll commend her on this."

"If there's one thing that will get a man to focus, it's by hurting his ego." Glynda agreed with a nod.

Hearing this Pyrrha glanced over to Jaune who was chuckling nervously while rubbing the back of his neck. Weiss also gave Jaune a look, though she look she gave him was more of a dry one.

___________________________

Willow just nods to him as he walks over to the kitchen door. Walking towards it, Qrow swiftly opens the door, Willow watching from behind him, the kitchen lights having been off since Willow left.

Qrow walked through the kitchen as Willow turned on the lights. Looking to his left at the countertop, Qrow moves the empty grocery bags to see the cooked eggs.

"Willow, are these the eggs?" Qrow asked her as he looked at the cooked eggs on the countertop.

"Yes." Willow nodded before she motioned her arms behind her as she looked at the eggs. "You see I was over there, and these eggs just jumped right out of their shells and started to cook on the counter." Willow explained to Qrow.

"That is weird." Qrow commented as he used the rod part of the device in his hand to lightly lift the bag of marshmallows.
___________________________

"That really happened?" Ilia asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah! It was really freaky." Nora said while nodding her head up and down.

"Yes. Though I did find the terror dog to be very creepy." Penny said. "I would not wish to find something like that in any type of appliance."

"It was also the thing that said 'Zuul'." Yang spoke time Ilia.

Zuul motherfucker! Zuul!

"What the what?" Roman asked as he and the rest of the audience looked around for the source of the sound.

"Oh. It would seem one of the universes bled through a bit." Vortech stated to everyone. "It's nothing to worry about."

"Though I will have to look into later." Vortech spoke to himself while stroking his chin.

Slowly ignoring what just happened, Sienna spoke up. "So, what did this "Terror Dog" look like exactly?" She asked.

"Well to best describe it, shouldn't be too difficult." Oobleck said as he started to explain to the White Fang high-leader. "It's body was much like that of your dog from the Candyman universe, except with grey skin, sharp teeth, glowing red eyes, and horns protruding from the side of its head." He explained in his usual teaching manner. Speaking at quickly and correctly.

"Uh, thank you." Sienna said with a node towards the green haired professor, having to at least be able to understand him better than when Ruby sped talked.

"You are very much welcome." Oobleck replied to her.

"Huh... that's a new one." Sienna thought to herself, having never received a "you're welcome" from a human before.

___________________________

"And that's when I started to hear that awful noise coming from the refrigerator." Willow explained as she watches Qrow check out the bundle of celery and cooked eggs on the counter.

Willow sighed a bit before she spoke. "Dr. Branwen, you've come all this way. Would you like to check the refrigerator?" Willow asked as she let her hands fall down to her sides.

"Better check the fridge." Qrow said after he put down one of the cooked eggs, soon wiping his hand off on the countertop. "Good call." Qrow said as he walked over to the fridge as Willow had her hands on her hips, watching him do so.
___________________________

Some of the students gripped onto the arms of their seats in anticipation for what was to come.

"Welp. Time to meet grimace." Qrow said said as he waited for his other self to open the fridge.

"Let's hope nothing goes wrong." Ozpin said with a concerned look.

___________________________

Both of them walked over to the refrigerator, Willow watching with a bit of fear as Qrow put his head to the side of the door, slowly opening it as a light cracked through.

"Oh, my God." Qrow said as he saw what was inside, Willow peeking up some as she watched him open the door. "Look at all the junk food." Qrow said as he fully opened the door revealing a fridge with a lot of soda, packaged meats and other junk food.
___________________________

"Wait, wha?" Ruby asked with a confused look.

"What the heck happened the gateway to another dimension?" Yang asked, though slightly cringing at the variety of food Willow had.

"Mrs. Schnee's diet does now seem to be the best for maintaining a healthy body form." Penny stated.

"That's what you're taking from this?" Weiss asked her.

"I was merely just making a statement of the situation." Penny replies to her. "Was it a bad time to do so?"

"What happened to the gateway?" Pietro asked in confusion. "I know my memory isn't what it used to be, but I do remember the sight of an eery, alternate world."

"It would seem that whoever was behind the occurrence in Willow's apartment is trying to keep themselves hidden for the time being." Ironwood said as he put a hand to his chin in thought.

___________________________

"Oh, goddamn it. Look this wasn't—." Willow started to explain in exasperation before Qrow interrupted her.

"You actually eat this stuff?" Qrow asked with a cringed look as he pulled out a pack of bologna.
___________________________

At this, Roman, Neo, and a few others cringed as well.

"Bologna? That's just a statement of bad food choices. That's a poor man's meat." Roman said with a shake of his head.

Neo stuck her tongue out in disgust.

"If nothing else, this version of mother should really improve her palette." Winter said as she too cringed at the sight of the food.

___________________________

"Look this wasn't here. There was nothing here." Willow explained as she put the pack of meat back in the fridge, Qrow still looking over said fridge's items.

"There was a space, and there was a—a building or something with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around, and they were growling and snarling." Willow desperately explained to Qrow as he listened to her. "And there were flames, and I heard a voice say "Zuul"." Willow said to Qrow who just looked at her. "It was right here."
___________________________

"I still wish to know what forces could have caused the event to occur in the first place." Glynda said. "It definitely seemed more dangerous than when the three of you ran away from the librarian ghost." She said as she looked at Ozpin, Qrow, and Oobleck.

Ozpin nodded at what the deputy headmistress said. "I know we don't have all the answers right away, but I can't help be feel as if something more sinister is on the horizon. And that Willow seeing what she did was not by mere coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Winter and Weiss began to worry for the safety of their mother.

___________________________

"I'm sorry. I'm just not getting any reading." Qrow explained to Willow.

"Well, are you sure you're using that thing correctly?" Willow asked Qrow as she nudged at the device in his hand.

"Well it's not—I think so." Qrow said as he looked down slightly at the device before moving his eyes to the fridge. "But I'm sure there are no animals in there." Qrow replied to Willow, receding to the fridge.

"Well, that's great." Willow sighed as she looked at Qrow. "Either I have a monster in my kitchen, or I'm completely crazy."

"I don't think you're crazy." Qrow reassured Willow with a slightly goofy smile as he looked at her beauty.
___________________________

Winter's eye twitched at this.

"I think this is the first time I've seen you truly love struck." Tai said with a light chuckle.

Qrow just rolled his eyes at his friend while sporting a small smile on his face.

"I mean... I guess it's nice that he doesn't think mother is making up seeing the ghost world." Weiss said, grateful that Qrow didn't think her mother was crazy, yet unsure due to the mannerisms that she's seen with onscreen Qrow, and the Qrow from her universe.

"Hmph." Winter just scoffed at the entire thing. "Mother is already bad enough with her wine addiction. She doesn't need to be with a man with his own alcohol addiction. Not to mention his usual lack of manners." She muttered to herself, making sure that no one could here her.

However, off to the side, Sienna and Blake were able to pick up what Winter said with their feline ears. Sienna cast a curious glance towards the elder Schnee sister while Blake glanced at Weiss with a slightly concerned look.

___________________________

"Oh, good. That makes me feel so much better." Willow sarcastically commented as she walked away from Qrow and the fridge.

Qrow closed the fridge as he went after Willow.

"Let me tell you something about myself." Qrow started to talk to Willow. "I come home from work to my place, and all I have is work." Qrow said as they were both now in the living room, Qrow sitting on Willow's couch as she stood up, hands on her hips. "There's nothing else in my life." Qrow continued to explain.

"Dr. Branwen..." Willow tried to interrupt Qrow, but to no avail.
___________________________

"Oh no." Glynda said with a shake of her head.

"He's going for it." Tai said as he watched the conversation unfold.

"What are they talking about?" Weiss asked as she looked at Yang and Ruby.

"Looks like uncle Qrow's about to take the shot." Yang replied to Weiss, confusing the SDC heiress.

___________________________

"I meet you, and I say, "My God, there's someone with the same problem I have." Qrow replied to Willow.

"Yes, we both have the same problem. You." Willow retorted back to Qrow with a deadpan look to her.
___________________________

"Hmph. Don't I know that all too well." Winter said with an annoyed glance at Qrow.

"That's how most relationships with Qrow tend to go." Glynda said while pushing her glasses up.

Qrow just rolled his eyes at the two women.

___________________________

Qrow just looked at her before he got up from the couch. "I'm gonna go for broke." Qrow said as he walked towards Willow.
___________________________

"Here it comes." Tai said.

"This oughta be good." Roman said with a smirk.

___________________________

"I am madly in love with you." Qrow declared to Willow with a straight face.
___________________________

"There it is." Ironwood said with a shake of his head.

"That's Qrow for you." Tai said with a shrug.

"This man is quite brave." Pietro said as he attached his beard.

"He's got a lot of confidence." Jaune said with wide eyes before he cast a glance at Weiss. "But if past experience has told me anything, this can only go one of two ways."

Pyrrha patted her partner on the back with a reassuring smile. "I'm sure the right girl is waiting for you." She spoke to him in a quite voice.

___________________________

"I don't believe this." Willow looked away a bit, smiling at Qrow's gull before looking back at him with a stern look. "Will you please leave?" Willow asked Qrow.

Qrow looked down as he spoke. "And then she threw me out of her life." Qrow started as he walked away from Willow. "She thought I was creep. She thought I was a geek, and she probably wasn't the first." Qrow spoke as he made his way to the door, Willow following behind him as he did so.

"You are so odd." Willow told Qrow as she looked at him, lightly shaking her head a twinge.
___________________________

"A sentiment I share greatly." Winter said while crossing her arms.

"Try being on a team with him." Tai said to Winter in agreement.

"Hey. I thought you were on my side." Qrow said to his old friend with a slight look of betrayal.

"I'm not picking any sides. I'm just going with I agree with at the time." Tai replies to him with a shrug.

___________________________

Just as Qrow got to the door, he stopped, and slowly looked back at Willow, and idea forming his head.

Seeing this, Willow started to shake hers. "No." Willow told Qrow.

"I've got it." Qrow spoke confidently to Willow.
___________________________

"What's be doing now?" Weiss dryly demanded, getting aggravated over Qrow's attempt to get with her mother.

"I honestly don't know." Ruby said.

"Your uncle seems very committed in trying to get with Weiss's mom." Pyrrha observed as she spoke to Ruby.

"Eh, it's like I said. This Qrow seems genuinely interested in Weiss's mom." Yang replies to the red head with a shrug.

___________________________

"No, no, no, no, no..." Willow repeated to Qrow.

"I'll prove myself to you." Qrow said to Willow.

"That's not necessary." Willow said, shaking her head as she smiled at Qrow a little nervously.

"Yeah, I'll solve your little problem." Qrow told Willow as Willow started to lightly push him away.

"Okay." Willow said as she moved Qrow closer to the door.

"And then you'll say "Qrow Branwen's a guy who can get things done." Qrow said to Willow, nodding his finger in her direction.
___________________________

"Hmph, please." Winter drawled out while rolling her eyes.

"Now, now. Just because Qrow has his... habits." Ozpin spoke to Winter. "He's not useless. He's accomplished a great deal in the past, and has continued to do so." He said in defense for his agent.

"Thank you, Oz." Qrow says to the headmaster with a smile before looking at Winter. "See that, Ice Queen senior? It's called being grateful."

"Oh, I'll show you 'grateful'." Winter growled at Qrow with narrowed eyes.

"Schnee. Calm yourself." Ironwood reprimanded Winter.

Winter looked like she wanted to refute the order, but quickly relented. "Yes, General." Though Winter still had an urge to beat the crap out of Qrow.

___________________________

"Right." Willow said pointing her finger back at Qrow as they got towards the door.

"I wonder what makes him tick." Qrow said, saying as it that was what Willow will be thinking.
___________________________

"Understanding Qrow? It would certainly by quite the thing to witness." Port said with a chuckle.

"It would be a fine addition to the history books." Oobleck said as he took a sip from his thermos.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny." Qrow dryly replies to the two of them.

___________________________

"I wonder." Willow replied back to Qrow as she opens the door for him.

"I wonder if he'd be interested in knowing what makes me tick." Qrow said, still stating it would be something Willow would be thinking about.

"Right." Willow said as she moved him out of her apartment room.

"I'll bet you're gonna be thinking about me after I'm gone." Qrow said with a smile as he walked out of her room.

"I bet I am." Willow said with a smile, though clearly meaning something opposite to what Qrow meant, soon closing the door on him.

However, Qrow budged through time say one last thing to Willow. "No kiss?" Qrow asked Willow, only for her to shove her hand into his face and push him out of her apartment room, slamming the door shut soon after.
___________________________

"Hmph." Winter smirked with a nod.

"Serves him right." Weiss agreed with a nod.

"Eh." Ruby shrugged.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked.

"Do you really Qrow's done with trying to flirt with your mom?" Yang asked with a dry look.

"He did seem adamant in getting a shot with her." Blake said to Weiss.

"Please. I doubt any version of my mother would try and date a man like Mr. Branwen." Weiss said while crossing her arms.

___________________________

Qrow was now standing in front on Willow's apartment room in the hallway, Louis coming out of his room to see what was going on, only to take one quick look at Qrow which caused Louis to try to retreat back to him room, only for his door to be stuck again, so Louis just awkwardly stood in front of his room as Qrow walked away from Willow's.

Cut back to the Firehouse as Qrow, Oobleck, and Ozpin could be seen sitting at a small table on the second floor, eating take out Chinese food. Ozpin was in a formal suit, while Oobleck and Qrow were in more casual wear.

"To our first customer." Qrow said as he rose a can of beer.

"To our first and only customer." Oobleck stated as he too rose a can of beer.

They all nod to each other as Qrow and Oobleck take a sip from their beer cans, Ozpin taking a sip from a red and white soda can with the words "Coc-a-Cola" on it.
___________________________

"Ha! Barty drinking something other than coffee. We finally saw it folks." Qrow said while chuckling.

"You say that as if I drink coffee all the time." Oobleck said to Qrow, only to be met by the stares of everyone from Beacon. "What?"

"Well..." Port trailed off.

"Coffee is the only thing we've ever seen you drink." Glynda said as she looked at Oobleck.

"Really?" Oobleck said as he scratched his chin in thought. "Huh. I've never noticed." He said this, right before taking a sip from his thermos.

Meanwhile, Ozpin spotted what his other self was drinking. "Me? Drinking soda? Hmm. I never expected that."

"I did say that you were a sugar junkie in this universe." Vortech replied to the Headmaster. "And believe, you consume a lot of sugary confections."

___________________________

"I'm gonna need to draw some petty cash." Qrow said to Oobleck after to put his beer down. "I should take out to dinner. We don't want to lose her." He elaborated, though it was obvious to Ozpin and Oobleck that Qrow mainly suggested it for his own gain.

Ozpin continued to eat as Oobleck spoke to Qrow. "Uh, this magnificent feast here represents the last of the petty cash." He stated to Qrow, pointing his chopsticks at the Chinese food.

Ozpin and Oobleck continued to eat as Qrow glanced at the both of them, the realization of them now being broke sinking in.
___________________________

"Uh-oh." Ruby said with a worried look.

"They're gonna need to make some cash soon." Jaune said.

"The three of them are gonna need to hope that they get business real soon." Pietro said. "Otherwise, they won't be able to get their operation off the ground."

"I mean..." Roman started as he trailed off. "There are other ways to make money." He said with a knowing grin.

"Don't ever suggest that any of these three men could ever be crooks like you and your henchwan, Torchwick." Glynda said as he gave the man a glare.

"Qrow, maybe. But I doubt Ozpin or Dr. Oobleck could ever be crooks." Winter said as she scowled at the criminal.

'Who said that thieving is the only option?' Neo said with a suggestive look.

That just made anyone who saw Neo sign the response feel really uncomfortable, with Blake blushing a bit.

"Oh, no. Bad Neo." Roman said with a shake of his head, clearly not liking what she meant either.

Neo just shrugged in defense.

___________________________

A telephone started to ring as Qrow spoke to Oobleck. "Hey, slow down. Chew your food." He told Oobleck while putting his hand on Oobleck's arm, halting the green-haired scientist from taking another bit of his food.

Back on the first floor, Glynda is currently trying to get her shoe on, answering the ringing phone as she does so. "Hello. Ghostbusters." Glynda answered the phone as she got her shoe on.

"Yes, of course their serious." Glynda said plainly to whoever was on the other line.
___________________________

"Well, at the very best, Ozpin seems to be the most serious out of the three of them." Glynda said with an uncertain look.

"He did say he was "Always serious"." Ironwood quoted the Ghostbuster version of Ozpin.

"What's Miss Goodwitch using?" Jaune asked.

"By the looks of it, something that works like a scroll." Pyrrha said as she looked at the phone Glynda used.

"That don't look like a scroll." Nora replied with a shake of her head.

"It's called a telephone." Vortech replied to them. "Imagine a blocky scroll that only has the ability to call people, and receive calls—nothing else."

"Sounds boring." Yang and Ruby blankly said at the same time.

"I'd call it less mind-numbing. Considering the fact that doesn't have any of those distracting video games on it." Glynda said while crossing her arms.

___________________________

Soon enough though, Glynda seems to halt in her tracks at what the person on the other line was saying, putting both hands on phone as her eyes widened a bit.

"You do?" Glynda asked as she sat back down at her desk.

"You have?" She asked as picked up a pencil and started to write something down. "No kidding?" Glynda asked as a bright smile formed on her face with each passing moment.
___________________________

"Woah." Qrow and Tai said in shock.

"Is she... is Miss Goodwitch doing what I think she's doing?" Yang asked with owlish eyes.

"I think she is." Blake said, mimicking Yang's shock.

"I never thought I'd see the day." Nora muttered with the rest of her team nodding in agreement, each of them with varying looks of shock and confusion.

"What?" Glynda asked as she looked at everyone who knew her. "What is it?"

"You-you're smiling." Port said with wide eyes.

"...Seriously? That's what you're all shocked over?" Glynda asked with a dry look.

"It is very rare to see you smile. So it is quite shocking to see you do so." Oobleck nodded to her.

"I-I can smile." Glynda said in defense for herself. "I just choose not to do it often."

At this, she was met with Ozpin giving her a dry look while raising his brow at her.

"Oh... shut up." Glynda huffed as she looked back at the screen.

"Well, nonetheless, you do look good with a smile." Ironwood said while trying to cheer Glynda up.

Glynda just rolled her eyes at him, though that didn't stop her from sporting a small smile.

___________________________

"Uh-huh. Well just, uh, just give me the address." Glynda said as she now rested the phone on her neck as she used her now free hand to write down the information being given to her.

"Uh-huh. Yes, of course. Oh, they'll be totally discreet." Glynda said with a slight smile as she finished writing down the information, bring her hand back up to the hold the phone.
___________________________

"Doubtful." Glynda said, contradicting what her other self said.

"Hey." Qrow said in an offended tone.

"I know that our other selves have not had that much experience in ghost busting just yet, I'm certain we'll be well versed enough to prevent too much unnecessary damage." Oobleck said in defense of the Ghostbusters.

"The trailer said otherwise." Glynda immediately shot back.

"......And on that point, I see your case." Oobleck quickly relented.

___________________________

"Thank you." Glynda thanked the person on the other line with a smile before the call ended and she placed the phone back in its place.

"We got one!" Glynda rose up and screamed at the top of her lungs in a jovial tone while shaking her fists in the air, soon bringing her right hand down onto a red buzzer, causing the Firehouse alarms to go off.
___________________________

"That was an even rarer sight." Ozpin said with owlish eyes.

Glynda was about to retaliate, but after giving it a moment of thought, she relented and gave out a sigh. "Ok. I'll admit, I've never been that excitable before."

"I've never seen Miss Goodwitch act like that... well... ever." Jaune spoke to Pyrrha in a hushed tone so that Glynda couldn't here him.

"It's about as rare as an Apathy Grimm." Pyrrha whispered back in agreement.

"Uh, a what?" Jaune asked her.

"Exactly." Pyrrha replied with a nod.

Seeing all the commotion about Glynda being happy and excitable, Sienna Khan decided to speak. "So, I'm to take it that she's usual quite the stern individual?" She asked while pointing at Glynda.

Her question was met by Qrow looking into his flask, Tai whistling, Port coughing, Ozpin looking off to the side, Ironwood humming a tune, and the Beacon students sweating bullets. Oobleck looked like she was about to answer Sienna's question, but a heated glare from Glynda shit his mouth up.

Vortech looked at this and shrugged before turning towards Sienna. "Looks like we don't have any whistle blowers here."

The White Fang high leader sweat dropped after seeing everyone cowering under the glare of Goodwitch. "You know what, I think I got my answer." Sienna said.

"Talk about being whipped." Roman whispered in a nervous chuckle to Neo, said girl having a concerned look at what just transpired.

"So... how scary is she?" Ilia whispered to Blake.

"....Very." Was all Blake whispered back to her old friend.

___________________________

Music, in the form of a snazzy combination of piano keys and trumpets, started to play as the three doctors looked at each other.

"It's a call!" Oobleck shouted as he placed his food down and immediately raced towards the fire pole.

Qrow and Ozpin followed Oobleck, albeit with Qrow taking a box of Chinese food with him, and Ozpin being more slow in his hurriedness.
___________________________

"Seriously?" Winter asked as she looked at Qrow.

"What? A man's gotta eat." Qrow said, getting a nod of agreement from Port.

While this was going on, Ruby started to get ecstatic.

"Ooh. They finally got a call! We'll be able to see them in action." Ruby said as she was getting giddy.

"I wonder what the ghost will look like." Penny said with a smile as she too shared Ruby's excitement

"I want to know how they're actually going to deal with a ghost this time around." Weiss said as she tapped her foot. "Ozpin did say that they would have a chance at capturing a ghost."

"And with the money they got off of selling Oobleck's house, I'm sure Ozpin and Oobleck would have built something by now." Blake nodded in agreement.

___________________________

The Bus Boys' "Cleanin' up the Town" started to play as the three men made their way down the fire pole. Oobleck shouting as he went down first, soon rising over to three polished, wooden lockers with each of their last names placed above each locker door.

🎶Gonna tell you a story about a little town I know.🎶

Oobleck opened up his locker to reveal beige flight suit hanging from a coat rack, accompanied by other forms of equipment.

As Oobleck rummaged through his locker, Qrow came down the fire pole with the Chinese food in hand, his expression being more neutral to what was happening.

🎶They had a real big problem
With some big, mean
Local ghost🎶

Ozpin came down the fire pole as well, though he seemed to be holding onto the fire pole for dear life with a slightly scared look plastered upon his face. He finally made it down the pole as Oobleck started to get his gear on, Qrow having just opened his locker.
___________________________

Seeing the dry look of fear upon Ozpin's face caused Glynda to start giggling, trying to hid it with her hand.

"I take it I'm not a fan of heights?" Ozpin asked Vortech.

"You'll get over it." Vortech waved off.

"I'm really digging this music." Yang said as she started to snap her fingers to the beat.

"It's not what I'm used to, though it does have a certain... snazzy charm to it." Weiss said as she started to tap her heel to the beat.

___________________________

🎶Those spooks we're making the whole city lose control🎶

It cut to the large doors of the Firehouse opening up to reveal a vehicle with a yellow license plate that read "Ecto-1". Everything soon panned our to reveal the vehicle Oobleck had retrieved earlier, only now it had a very white color to it, the fins on the back of the vehicle now red with blue sirens atop the roof, alongside many other equipment.
___________________________

Yang wolf whistled at the sight of the vehicle. "Now that's what you call snazzy. And the name, "Ecto-1", sounds funky—but in a cool way."

"It's definitely appropriate in terms a business-themed vehicle." Ironwood nodded in appreciation for the look of the Ecto-1.

"Eh, seems too flashy for me." Ilia said while giving a 'so-so' sign with her hand.

"What is the purpose of the augmentations on the roof of the vehicle?" Pietro asked, adjusting his glasses to try and get a better look at the roof of the Ecto-1.

"While Dr. Oobleck repaired the vehicle, Ozpin miniaturized ghostbusting technology for mobile purposes and mounted them on the roof rack of the vehicle." Vortech answered as he started to count off his fingers on what the Ecto-1 included. "The roof consists of Muon Scrubbers, a Radio GPS Locator, High Intensity Microfoams, and EMF Scrubbers."

Pietro nodded in understanding while Penny and Ruby seemed to have stars in her eyes.

"Wow. Sounds really sciencey." Nora said, nodding at the information given to her, yet not knowing what any of it does.

"Uh... what does all that do?" Jaune asked.

"I'm pretty sure it has to do with find ghosts." Ren replies to his team leader.

"Oh." Jaune nodded in realization.

"I guess that's one way to explain it." Vortech said. "You know, if you want to really dumb it down." He muttered off to the side.

___________________________

🎶Well, the mayor was frantic
The town was panicked
But they had
No sense of fear🎶

The very loud sirens of the Ecto-1 made itself known throughout the night as the Ghostbusters drove out of the Firehouse in a hurry, tires screeching as they did so as they seemed to be throwing most caution to the wind as they made haste.

🎶 'Cause they knew
That they were missing
Those boys with a mission
So they called them up
Right here🎶

The scene changed to the image of a golden sign, lighted by red lights that read "Sedgwick Hotel", the S having a four pronged crown atop it.

🎶They went boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in
And got down to the point
Those Ghostbusters came in
Cleanin' up the town🎶

The music continued as the Ecto-1 rolled up into the valet parking, right in front of the entrance of the hotel, people moving about outside the Sedgwick. The Ecto-1 stopped, the door of the vehicle taking up most of the screen as the Ghostbusters logo was shown to the audience, an almost cartoonish, white ghost trapped inside a red prohibition sign.

🎶Oh, yeah🎶

A piano solo began to play as Qrow, Oobleck, and Ozpin walked into the Sedgwick, each of them in beige flight suits, each suit having a black label above the left chest part of the suit, their last names sewed upon the labels in red. Upon each of their backs was black machinery, each the size of a backpack, strapped upon each of the three men. An electronic wand type device held in place upon the packs, connected to via black hoses.

"Hey, anybody see a ghost?" Qrow asked aloud, gaining the attention of the very lively lobby of the hotel.
___________________________

"Subtle." Glynda said as she rolled her eyes.

"Sometimes it's best to get right to the point." Port said.

"Hey, it's the packs that they had on in the trailer." Ruby pointed out.

"Proton Packs." Vortech said.

"What do they do?" Ilia asked.

"From last we saw, they have a gun-like attachment that fires out a stream of highly charged energy." Penny answered the chameleon faunus. "Though I don't know how they truly work against ghosts."

"The polarized particles fired from the pack electrostatically traps the negatively charged energy of ghosts." Vortech replied to Penny. "Like wrangling cattle with a rope."

"Fascinating." Penny said with a nod.

___________________________

A woman pasted by the three of them, Qrow looking at her with a slight smirk as she passed by, Ozpin watching her pas by as well, although merely out of curiosity while Oobleck watched the woman pass by as well, while also looking at Qrow with a face that read 'really?'.
___________________________

Everyone else mimicked the face onscreen Oobleck gave to onscreen Qrow as they watched the scene unfold, everyone except Qrow and Penny—the robotic girl just giving a curious look.

"Ok, yeah. This me has a problem." Qrow said.

"You think?" Glynda asked him.

"So, what was that about him being genuinely in love with this version of my mother?" Weiss asked Yang.

"Okay, so he's rough around the edges, but my point still stands." Yang said in defense of Qrow.

___________________________

The three men continued to walk forward, until another man stepped up right being them.

"Uh, thank you for coming so quickly." The man said as he walked up to the Ghostbusters. He wore a black suit over a light blue light grey button-up shirt with a bow tie. He was Caucasian with brown hair and a brown mustache, his demeanor presenting himself as more composed, yet worried.

"Jesus!" Qrow said as he turned to the hotel manager, having been surprised a bit by the man, Ozpin and Oobleck turning to look at the man as well.
___________________________

"He just came out of nowhere." Roman said as he and Neo tried to see where the manager came from.

"He must be the one that called us." Ozpin observed.

"Judging by how he attire is, he must be the manager." Weiss stated, knowing five-star attire when she sees it.

___________________________

The Ghostbusters started to walk with the hotel manager as he began to explain the situation to the three of them.

"The guests are starting to ask questions, and I'm running out of excuses." The hotel manager said to them in worry.

"Has it happened before?" Qrow asked the hotel manager.

"Well, most of the original staff knows about the 12th floor." The manager stated.

"Uh-huh." Qrow nodded to him.

"The disturbances I mean." The hotel manager elaborated as they continued to walk. "Um, it's been quiet for years. Up until two weeks ago." He said as Qrow put his arm on the hotel manager's back, leaning in closer to hers what the man had to say.
___________________________

"Disturbances?" Ironwood asked.

"Usually strange accidents and foul play." Vortech answered.

"How is that hotel still even open?" Winter asked with a raised brow.

"Hmph. I'm willing to bet the owners kept it under wraps." Sienna said with a scoff, knowing that keeping incidents from the public eye was common in the SDC.

"Makes sense. Especially if it's this fancy of a hotel." Roman said.

"It even has a built in gentlemen's clothing store on the first floor." Vortech said to the crook.

"Oh, you don't say?" Roman said with a smile.

"Though, I digress. Despite the disturbances of the hotel, the strangest part would have to be it's founder, Godfrey McCallister Sedgewick." Vortech.

"What about him?" Qrow asked.

"You see, it's one thing for someone to build a hotel, but it's another thing for someone to build a hotel, when that someone was a renowned misanthrope." Vortech explained to them.

At this, everyone either had wide eyes or confused looks, or both.

"That is strange." Ozpin said with a raised brow.

"Misanthrope means that someone hates people, right?" Ruby asked Weiss.

"Yes. Which makes it weird how a misanthrope could become a hotelier." Weiss said as she too was confused about Godfrey Sedgewick.

___________________________

"It was never, ever this bad, though." The manager said to the three of them.

"Did you ever report it to anyone?" Ozpin asked the manager.

"No. Heavens, no." The hotel manager quickly said as he faced Ozpin, Qrow removing his arm from the man's back.

"No. No. Are you kidding?" Qrow quietly, and sarcastically said to Ozpin before looking ahead they the three men walked.
___________________________

"Of course. Why wouldn't you report it to the authorities in any way? It's not as if your risking the lives of innocent people." Ilia sarcastically remarked.

"Greedy bastards. Not an ounce of care for who gets hurt so long as they get their way." Sienna said with a scoff.

"This coming from the tiger faunus that leads a terrorist organization that harms people on a daily basis." Roman muttered to Neo, the ice-cream themed woman nodding in agreement.

Thanks to her faunus hearing, Sienna heard this, her eyes turning into slits as she turned around to growl at Roman.

"Uh-dah-dah-dah-da." Vortech halted Sienna before she could retort back at Roman, wagging his finger at her. "Roman is speaking the truth, just like you. To suggest otherwise would be hypocritical of you, Ms. Kahn."

Sienna continued to growl, but soon receded with a low huff and turned back to look at the screen.

"Hmm. If she keeps going like this throughout most of these viewings, I'll have to show her universes that have her as the main villain." Vortech thought to himself. "The Jungle Book does come to mind."

Vortech looked back at Sienna Kahn, before looking towards Oobleck. "Then again, a universe such as Treasure Planet may help as well."

___________________________

"The owners don't like us to even talk about it." The hotel manager elaborated the Ghostbusters. "No. I hoped we could take care of this quietly. Tonight." He stated to the three scientists.

"It's done." Qrow said as he looked at Ozpin.

"Yes sir. Don't worry." Oobleck said, finally pitching into the conversation, and putting on his para-goggles. "We handle this kind of thing all the time." He reassured the hotel manager.

The manager walks off as the Ghostbusters walk towards two sets of golden colored elevator doors, an elderly man in a trench coat and a small black hat with grey hair and a mustache was waiting by the second elevator, holding a cigar in his hand as he spotted the three oddly dressed men.

The Ghostbusters wait for the first elevator door to open as the elderly man decided to make conversation with the three men.

"What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?" The man asked.
___________________________

"A what?" Ruby asked with a strange look before glancing over to Weiss.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what that is either." Weiss said while holding her hands up in defense.

"I'm afraid I have no recollection of what a "cosmonaut" is either, friend Ruby." Penny said as she tried to search through her data banks.

"It's the name of a Russian astronaut." Vortech answered. "And before you ask, Russian is the term used for the people of Russia—the largest country upon Remnant in this universe, and many others."

"Oh." Ruby nodded.

"Then what's an astronaut?" Yang asked.

"Someone who has been trained to travel in a spacecraft." Vortech replied.

"Wait a minute." Ironwood said as he looked at Vortech. "This version of Remnant has space travel?"

"Among other universes." Vortech replied.

"Remarkable." Oobleck said.

"It's a scientific marvel." Pietro said as he was quite ecstatic. "How did they even achieve such a feat?"

"It wasn't with Dust, I'll tell you all that much." Vortech replied to the elderly man.

___________________________

"No, we're exterminators. Somebody saw a cockroach up on 12." Qrow answered to the man.

"That's gotta be some cockroach." The man replied back to Qrow.

"It'll bite your head off, man." Qrow replied with a light laugh before facing the elevator.
___________________________

"Heh. Nice one." Tai said with a laugh while holding up his hand to Qrow—the unlucky Branwen high-giving him in return.

"At the very least, he isn't trying to make seem as if there's anything that people need to worry about." Ozpin said. "It'll reduce unnecessary panic, and help the version of ourselves work easier."

"Ugh. I really couldn't imagine a cockroach that could bite someone's head off." Yang said with a shiver. "Grimm are one thing, but cockroach's are way worse."

"Don't even try and put that image in my head." Weiss told Yang with a disgusted look.

___________________________

The elevator finally arrives and opens to reveal a couple as they exited the elevator, Qrow starting to make his way over to the elevator with Ozpin and Oobleck following behind.

"Going up?" Oobleck asked in curtesy to the elderly man.

"I'll take the next one." The man replied to Oobleck as the elevator doors closed, the elderly man putting his cigar back in his mouth.
___________________________

"Smart choice." Roman said while—metaphorically—topping his hat off to the man.

"I don't think any sane individual would travel in an elevator with men dressed like that." Winter said. "No offense, Ozpin, Dr. Oobleck."

"None taken." Ozpin said while Oobleck nodded in acknowledgement to Winter.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Qrow asked.

"No, I think I made my point." Winter said while looking away, a small smug look on her face as she did so.

___________________________

Qrow, Ozpin, and Oobleck are standing in the elevator, Ozpin behind the other two as they waited to get off at the twelfth floor. A plaque behind the three men read "~No Smoking~".

"You know, it's just occurred to me." Oobleck started to speak. "We really haven't had a completely successful test of this equipment." Oobleck said, referring to their proton packs.
___________________________

"Seriously?" Ironwood asked with wide eyes. "This should have been one of their top priorities."

"This could be an issue." Ren spoke.

"Eh, we'll wing it." Qrow waved them off.

___________________________

"I blame myself." Ozpin said to his colleagues.

"So do I." Qrow said to Ozpin, giving the smarter scientist no reassurance whatsoever.
___________________________

At this, Qrow, Tai, Port and—surprisingly—Glynda, started to chuckle a bit. Their chuckling soon mimicked by everyone else in the theater.

Ozpin just had a dry look upon his face.

"Oh, lighten up, Ozzy. You gotta admit, it's kinda funny." Qrow said with a smile.

"I'm well aware of the humor, Qrow." Ozpin replies to him. "It still doesn't change the fact that blaming me for something that I blame myself for doesn't change a thing."

"It's still funny." Glynda said as she was still giggling a bit. "I think I like this version of you a little better than... well, you."

"I'm hurt, Glynda." Ozpin replies in mock hurt with a small smile on his face. Though on the inside, he thus far thought that this version of himself was far better than he ever was. After all, this version of himself didn't make mistake after mistake, time and time again.

___________________________

"Well, no sense worrying about it now." Oobleck said as he continued to look at the elevator doors.

"Why worry?" Qrow asked plainly, and sarcastically. "Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back." Qrow stated in a deadpan tone.

"Yep." Oobleck simply said in agreement, knowing just as well how bad things could get if the packs weren't handled properly.
___________________________

"How bad is that?" Ilia asked in slight worry.

"Well, if something were to cause it to blow up..." Vortech trailed off as he tried to find the easiest explanation. "It would cause an explosion large enough to take out half—maybe the entirety of Vale."

At this revelation, everyone in the room was shook to the core.

"...And they're unlicensed?" Roman asked with owlish eyes.

Vortech just shrugged as the viewing continued.

___________________________

"Well, let's get ready." Oobleck said to his two friends. "Switch me on."

Ozpin switched on Oobleck's proton pack, the Accelerator charging up, making a whirring noise in the process, all the while Ozpin started to slowly, but surely, back away from Oobleck and behind Qrow, a calm look of fear on his face as Qrow just looked strangely at Ozpin and Oobleck.
___________________________

Now this got a laugh out of everyone, even Ozpin.

"Ain't that a ringing endorsement." Qrow said while chuckling.

"That face you're making just makes it all the more better." Tai said in between chuckles.

"It's bad when you know Ozpin is the one trying to back away." Yang said.

"I'm certain it'll work fine." Ruby said, confident in Qrow, Ozpin, and Oobleck.

___________________________

The up arrow above the elevator lights up and dings, the elevator doors opening to lead the Ghostbusters to the twelfth floor.

Oobleck is the first to exit from the elevator as he carefully looks left and right before moving left, pulling out the proton wand and having it at the ready. Qrow was the second to exit the elevator, albeit a little more lazily with Ozpin coming out last, he too having his proton wand at the ready.

Qrow leads the way as Ozpin charges up the Accelerator in his pack, all three men carefully looking about as they moved.

A brown skinned woman with black hair and in a maid outfit was moving a cleaning cart about the twelfth floor, making a left turn while humming a tune.

She just so happened to be moving some feet behind the three men, though the moment they heard a noise, they all immediately turned around to see what it was. However, while Qrow merely turned around to see who it was that was humming, Ozpin and Oobleck were obviously spooked because the moment they turned around, they immediately fired their proton wands, both men released a bright stream of orange surrounded by purple and blue electricity from the throwers, both streams hitting the cleaning lady's cart as the three men all started to shout.

The cleaning lady ducked for cover as her cart was hit by the proton streams, causing explosions and flames to cover it a bit.

"Woah! Hold it." Qrow said to Ozpin and Oobleck as he put both of his hands on their arms, halting the two men in the premature firing of their proton streams.
___________________________

"Heh heh... uh, at least they work." Ruby said with a nervous look.

"That poor woman." Glynda said with a shake of her head.

"They almost killed her." Roman said with wide eyes. "I smell a lawsuit coming soon."

"I... wouldn't doubt it." Winter slowly said, not really liking how it felt to agree with a criminal.

___________________________

Qrow, Oobleck, and Ozpin looked at what the latter two had done in silence as the cleaning lady got out from hiding.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked in slight fear.

Oobleck looked down awkwardly while Ozpin looked nervous, all the while Qrow just looked at his two friends with a slight deadpan look.

"Sorry." Ozpin apologized awkwardly.

"I'm sorry." Oobleck apologized.

"Sorry." Qrow also apologized. "We thought you were someone else." He explained to the cleaning lady.
___________________________

"That's one excuse." Ilia said dryly.

"At least they were nice enough to apologize." Ruby offered up to the chameleon faunus.

Ilia just gave the little red reaper a deadpanned look. "Would you just accept an "I'm Sorry" when someone nearly killed you?"

"W-well, if they were sincere about it." Ruby said, casting a glance at Weiss as she thought back to her first day at Beacon and how the she caused an explosion with a vial of fire dust—even though it was because Weiss wagged it in front of her nose.

___________________________

The cleaning lady, still on her knees, started to pick up what she could, grabbing some clean-x and toilet paper that wasn't burned or burning.

"Successful test." Qrow deadpanned his remark to Ozpin and Oobleck as he turned to face the two men, all the while the cleaning lady tried to put out a small fire with the clean-x in the background.
___________________________

"I guess it's best to take what's given." Pietro said as he scratched the back of his neck.

"....Is she using cleaning spray to put out that fire?" Blake asked with a strange look.

Hearing this, everyone took a closer look to see that the cleaning was using cleaning chemicals on the fire.

"How does she think she's going to put out a fire with chemicals?" Port asked, dumbfounded at what he saw.

___________________________

"I guess so." Oobleck said as he looked down slightly.

"Uh... I think we'd better spilt up." Ozpin suggested, trying to move past the subject of what he and Oobleck just did.

"Good idea." Oobleck agreed with Ozpin as said man pulled out a small white, rectangular device that he held in his gloved hand.

"Yeah, we can do more damage that way." Qrow snarked as the three men split up.
___________________________

"You're one for enthusiasm." Yang sarcastically stated towards her uncle.

"Yeah! You should be more excited that you're hunting ghosts." Ruby agreed with her sister.

Qrow just shrugged at his nieces before speaking. "In my defense, we're screwing up a lot in here."

___________________________

The scene cuts to Ozpin walking backwards into a hallway, a PKE meter in his right hand as he scanned the area.
Ozpin soon started to walk forward into another hallway as he moved his device up and down slowly as he moved along, the PKE meter humming as he did so.

Qrow was walking down another hallway as a tv could be heard playing through one of the rooms he passed by.

Oobleck was walking down another hallway, having just put a lit cigarette in his mouth as he moved along.

The green haired man continued to smoke as he moved his lead to the left and then to the right. However, the moment he did so, he halted in his tracks, eyes widening at what he saw.

Placed a few feet away from Oobleck, was a cart filled with well prepared, gourmet food, and hovering above the cart, scarfing down the food, was green apparition with skinny arms, yellow eyes, a wide mouth with yellowed teeth, and an overall blobby body form as he ate the food from the cart, dishing clanking as they fell off the cart and broke from his assault upon the food.
___________________________

"What the hell is that?" Roman asked, slightly disgusted by the green ghost.

Sienna scowled a bit when she looked at the ghost. "First ghost I see and it's food junkie."

"That thing is a slob." Weiss said while sticking her tongue out in disgust.

"That is Slimer." Vortech stated. "The manifestation of greed and gluttony."

"What the heck was he like in life?" Tai asked, knowing that whoever died and became Slimer clearly didn't make good life choices.

"Whoever said Slimer wasn't already alive?" Vortech asked, getting strange looks from the audience.

"Huh?" Qrow asked.

"I thought one had to die in order to become a ghost." Penny said as she placed her finger on her chin in thought.

"If they're more humanoid in appearance." Vortech corrected her. "Manifestations are their own being, having never been a human or faunus before. They manifest due to the presence of the ghost world, where most manifestations occur."

"I never thought there could be two types of ghosts." Ilia said with a raised brow.

"So in a way, ghosts and manifestations are like humans and faunus." Oobleck started. "Both have very similar attributes, but both have separate appearances."

"That's one way to put it, yes." Vortech nodded to the green haired history teacher. "Though there isn't any racism between them. There separated by their power levels."

"And how powerful can a ghost get?" Glynda asked.

"You all saw the device that Ozpin had in his hand, correct?" Vortech asked, receiving nods from everyone. "That is referee to as a PKE meter. It essentially helps find hidden ghosts or other supernatural anomalies. The meter itself is designed to scan things on a scale of one to ten."

"So I'm guessing a ten is when people should start worrying the most." Qrow asked, more so stating it like a fact.

"It's very bad." Vortech replies to him.

___________________________

Slimer continued to chomp on the food as Oobleck watched it n in shock, the cigarette hanging from the lower lip of his agape mouth.

Oobleck started to slowly back away and turn his head to the right. "Branwen?" Oobleck called putting to Qrow, the cigarette falling from his mouth as he called out his friend's name, however when he looked back to where Qrow was, he was no longer there. "Branwen!" Oobleck trues once more while trying not to alert Slimer.

Oobleck quickly turned back to Slimer, the green ghost still chomping on the food as Oobleck stalked over towards the manifestation.

"Disgusting blob." Oobleck commented as Slimer took a plate of food and dumped its contents into his mouth, wiping off any food that fell onto his large chin, for the most part.
___________________________

"Yes, that's one way to describe it." Oobleck quickly spoke.

"He eats worse than Nora." Pyrrha spoke absentmindedly as she was disturbed by Slimer.

"Hey!" Nora said to her with a look of betrayal.

"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha apologized, realizing what she said.

Meanwhile, Weiss, Winter, and Glynda were disgusted with the way Slimer ate the food.

___________________________

"I'm gonna have to hold him myself." Oobleck spoke to himself as he got his proton wand ready to fire, charging up the Accelerator.

Slimer continued to scarf down the food as Oobleck aimed and soon fired a proton stream causing a bright, yet contained explosion by the food cart, though his aim was off because he didn't hit Slimer.

Slimer, now scared for his life, threw his hands in the air and shrieked in terror as he flew off in the other direction, the food cart being unconsciously pulled by Slimer with little to no effort as Slimer flew down towards the end of the hall, passing through the wall, but causing the food cart to slam into the wall, smashing into a small table that held a vase as all the food, silverware, and the vase to crash and break. The only evidence of Slimer's presence was a spot of ectoplasmic residue staining the wall.
___________________________

"Dang it." Oobleck said with a scowl.

"How'd you miss?" Qrow asked him. "He was only a few feet away from you."

"That's what I want to know myself." Oobleck replied to him.

"Well, judging by the way the stream was fired, it was probably difficult to control." Pietro said. "It definitely wasn't a confined stream."

"The recoils must have be like using shotgun." Ruby said as she looked at the proton wand. "You'd have to have practice in order to aim right."

___________________________

The scene cuts to Ozpin still searching throughout the hallway he went down, an elderly man in a black suit walking towards his room as Ozpin was still searching down the hall. Just as the older man got to his room's door, Ozpin was right next to him, using his PKE meter to slowly scan the elderly man, causing said man to become confused at what Ozpin was doing. Ozpin faced the man, and poked the man with his finger, making sure that the elderly man was actually there.
___________________________

"So awkward." Tai said with a laugh.

"At least I'm being thorough." Ozpin threw out there.

"This version of Ozpin has gotta be as awkward with people as Ruby and Penny." Yang whispered over to Blake, Ilia hearing this as well.

"Your sister's awkward?" Ilia asked her in a lowered voice. "She doesn't seem that shy."

"She's only like this with people she knows." Yang replied back in her whispery tone. "She's terrible at meeting new people. You should've seen her on the first day of Beacon. Ask Weiss and Blake, they know it to."

___________________________

The scene cuts to Qrow making a turn down another hallway, seeming bored as he did so. However he soon halted in his tracks as he started blankly at Slimer, who had just halted in his flying as he looked right at Qrow, soon growling at him.
___________________________

"...Oh no." Ruby said with worry.

"I'm pretty this part was in the preview." Qrow said dryly.

"Meaning something band's about to happen." Tai said, showing slight concern upon his face.

___________________________

Qrow slowly takes out his walkie-talkie from his belt, clicking a button to call for Oobleck. "Come in, Barty." Qrow spoke slowly as he stared at Slimer.

The scene cut to Oobleck quickly taking out his walkie-talkie to answer Qrow. "Branwen, I saw it. I saw it. I saw it." Oobleck said excitedly in a hushed tone.

"It's right here, Barty. It's looking at me." Qrow continued to speak slowly, his face stiff as stone yet screaming on the inside as Slimer continued to stare at him.

"He's an ugly little spud, isn't he?" Oobleck asked through the walkie-talkie.

"I think he can here you, Barty." Qrow spoke faster, yet still stiff with a stone look.
___________________________

People started to chuckle as the scene unfolded.

"T-the look on his face." Roman wheezed a bit, finding the situation to be humorous.

"At least someone's taking some glee out of it." Qrow said with an eye roll before glancing over to Oobleck. "You better be right about the spud being harmless."

"If just what recently transpired between me and Slimer is anything to go by, the ghost is quite skittish." Oobleck affirmed to Qrow.

___________________________

It cuts back to Oobleck. "Don't move. It won't hurt you." He whispered to Qrow through the walkie-talkie.

However, this was a fruitless effort as Qrow started to scream in terror. "Aah!" He screamed as Slimer started to fly right towards Qrow.

Slimer roared and growled menacingly as he got closer and closer to Qrow, the man still screaming in terror as he started to back away.
___________________________

"Or not." Oobleck said in a deflated tone.

"Qrow!" Yang and Ruby yelled out in worry.

"You were saying?" Qrow asked Oobleck.

"Dude just did a complete one-eighty on us." Tai said as he was surprised by the way Slimer was acting now.

"I'm surprised you're not trying to run away." Ironwood said with wide eyes. "The situation would definitely call for it."

"He would need to at least use his proton pack." Glynda said, worrying a bit for the safety of Qrow.

"Let's hope he at least makes it out unscathed." Ozpin said as the scene unfolded.

___________________________

Hearing this, Oobleck double-timed it over to Qrow's position, the scene cutting to Qrow still screaming with his hand over his head, the green glow of Slimer getting closer to him.

"Branwen!" Oobleck called out to Qrow as the screaming soon ceased over the walkie-talkie, Oobleck still in his pursuit to get to Qrow. "Branwen, speak!"

The scene cuts to Qrow writhing around the ground, covered in a green substance as Oobleck finally got to him.

"Branwen, what happened?" Oobleck asked Qrow as he kneeled down to him. "Are you okay?"

"He slimed me." Qrow said I'm annoyed disgust while rolling his eyes a bit, slime covering him everywhere from head to toe.

"That's great! Actual physical contact." Oobleck stated excitedly, seeming to now ignore Qrow's state of being.
___________________________

Winter started to laugh hysterically. She tried to keep it down, but when she did her laughs turned into snorts.

Qrow did his best to ignore this as he looked over to Oobleck. "I'm downed and you're reaction is "that's great"?" He asked him.

"At least you're alright." Ozpin said to Qrow, trying to defend onscreen Oobleck's actions.

Winter continued to snort and laugh, causing Weiss to look at her sister with wide eyes.

"I knew Winter could laugh.... but I never knew she could laugh that much." Weiss said in shock.

"I didn't think a Schnee could snort." Ilia muttered with a smirk.

Weiss heard this and scowled at Ilia, Blake giving her friend a disapproving look as the chameleon faunus just rolled her eyes. Yang and Ruby heard this as well, prompting them to cast worrying looks onto Ilia and Weiss.

Winter finally calmed down a bit as a few tears fell from her eyes. "Oh, I needed that." She said as she wiped away a tear.

"That's the first time I've seen you act so loose, Winter." Ironwood said with a raised brow.

Winter cleared her throat as she tried to reposition herself, though her smile still remained. "What can I say? I found it quite humorous, sir."

___________________________

"Can you move?" Oobleck asked as Qrow tried to get up.

Just then, Ozpin called Oobleck via walkie-talkie. "Barty, Barty. Come in please." Ozpin spoke to Oobleck, causing the green haired scientist to answer the walkie-talkie.

"I feel so funky." Qrow said as he raised his head, looking over himself.

"Spengler, I'm with Branwen." Oobleck answered Ozpin as Qrow was trying to spit some slime out of his mouth. "He got slimed."

"That's great, Barty. Save some for me." Ozpin replies to Oobleck, though by the sound of it, he seemed to be distracted by something. "Get down here right away. It just went into a ballroom." Ozpin said, reporting in on Slimer's position.

"Okay, we'll be right there." Oobleck told Ozpin as he put up his walkie-talkie.

Cut to the entrance of the Alhambra ballroom, a sign by it that read "Sedgwick New York City. East side theater guild: Midnight Buffet."
___________________________

Ren read the sign and shrugged. "Makes sense that's where he's go to."

'He's gonna take "all you can eat" to another level.' Neo signed.

"Let's just hope they can deal with the ghost here." Glynda said as the scene continued.

___________________________

The Ghostbusters were right through the doors that led to the ballroom, Qrow still covered in slime—now dried up—as Oobleck spoke to the hotel manager.

"Okay, sir, if you and your staff could please wait out here, we'll take care of everything." Oobleck told the manager as Ozpin nodded along.

Ozpin and Oobleck then closed the door in front of themselves, locking the doors.

The scene cuts to Oobleck with his para-goggles on his face, peaking through red curtains as he looked over the ballroom.

He kept looking around until his looked towards the ceiling at the center chandelier, where he spotted Slimer flying circles around it, growling while doing so.

"There it is. On the ceiling." Oobleck said to Ozpin and Qrow, the latter taking a peak to look at the ghost that attacked him.

"That's the one that got me." Qrow said with glancing at Oobleck, Ozpin looking at the ghost with a slightly agape jaw as the three men moved forward, Oobleck moving para-goggles back atop his head.
___________________________

"It's like a mob hit." Roman said as he and Neo chuckled.

"That's the one that got me." Qrow repeated his onscreen self. "Get him, boys."

"Right away." Oobleck replied as he got in on the fun with Qrow.

The two men then looked to Ozpin, expecting him to add onto the fun.

"...Yo." Ozpin said while raising a fist, a small smile on his face.

The three men chuckled, Port joining in with them as Glynda sighed and rolled her eyes.

___________________________

Slimer continued to fly around the chandelier as Oobleck, Ozpin, and Qrow got their proton wands ready.

"All right, boys. Ready? Throw it." Oobleck ordered as he, Ozpin, and Qrow fired their proton streams at Slimer.

However when they did so, they only hit the chandelier, missing Slimer as the ghost fled once more, the chandelier going up in sparks and small explosions as it fell from the ceiling.

The hotel manager continued to wait outside the door, people going about their business uninterrupted. That is until a loud crash was heard from within the ballroom. The manager quickly went to open the door to see what the problem was, only to find that he couldn't as the door was still locked.
___________________________

"Ooh, that sounded expensive." Sienna said with a smirk.

"The manager is not gonna like that." Weiss said with a shake of his head.

"I'd show more pity to the manager." Pyrrha said with a solemn look. "He's the one that called the Ghostbusters, and he's the one that has to explain to his bosses about the damages."

"Yeah." Jaune agreed with his partner. "Would not want to be in his shoes."

___________________________

Back in the ballroom, it was revealed that the chandelier fell onto one of the dining tables, small flames upon it as smoke rose from the rubble.

The Ghostbusters walked over to the fallen and destroyed chandelier and table.

"I did that. I did that. That's my fault." Oobleck stated as he looked at the rubble with a slight cringe.

"That's okay. The table broke the fall." Qrow deadpanned a snark as he looked at the fallen chandelier with a slightly shocked expression.
___________________________

The adults—even Glynda and Winter—found this bit to be funny, with Tai, Qrow, and Roman laughing the most.

The students, Ilia, and Neo found it funny as well, though not as much as the adults.

"God, you're jokes are great in this universe." Tai said with a chuckle.

"I know. I'm just awesome that way." Qrow said with a shrug and smile.

"I wish Qrow was more of a jokester in our universe." Yang said with bright smile. "Just imagine the things me, him, and dad could come up with."

"Uncle Qrow's humor would win all the time." Ruby said to her sister right away.

"Hey, I've got good jokes too." Yang said in defense for herself.

"No, you don't." The rest of her team said, shooting her down.

___________________________

Ozpin looked at Qrow and Oobleck, a controlled look of emergence on his face before he spoke. "There's something very important I forgot to tell you."

"What?" Qrow asked.

"Don't cross the streams." Ozpin answered with a serious, yet concerned look.

"Why?" Qrow questioned, looking at Ozpin, and then Oobleck.

"It would be bad." Ozpin replies cryptically.
___________________________

"Ah, this part." Ironwood said, remembering the trailers.

"What about it?" Sienna asked with a curious look.

"You'll see." Qrow said as he took a swing from his flask, soon looking into it to see that it was almost empty.

___________________________

"I'm fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?" Qrow asked as he walked up to Ozpin, Oobleck moving behind Qrow.

"Try to imagine all life stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed." Ozpin answered with a serious look.

Oobleck gasped at the explanation with a slightly scared look on his face. "Total protonic reversal."
___________________________

Sienna and Ilia blinked in shock with owlish looks, and while the rest of the audience faired better, they still weren't very settled with it.

"I know we've heard it before, but it still freaks me out." Yang said with a shiver.

"I hope they never end up crossing the streams." Ruby said, knowing that the alternate versions of her uncle, Ozpin, and Oobleck were probably end up dead.

___________________________

"Right. That's bad." Qrow nodded to Ozpin. "Okay. All right, important safety tip. Thank, Ozpin. All right." Qrow said while patting Ozpin's arm.

The three men started to slowly walk around the ballroom as they looked for Slimer. "Barty, you take the left. Ozpin, you take the right." Qrow ordered to the other two men.

Slimer snickered at the Ghostbusters while they were looking for him.

They soon find Slimer chugging down a body of wine on a buffet table that included a tier cake upon it. The wine went right through Slimer and onto the table cloth, staining it in red.
___________________________

"Wow. Talk about going right through him." Yang said as she watched the wine spill through Slimer's body.

Ruby, Blake, Ilia, and Team JNPR groaned in unison when they heard the poor joke.

"Oh, come on! I wasn't even trying there." Yang said in defense for herself.

Weiss also scowled at the joke, but it was mainly a front to hide her true thoughts when she laid eyes on the red alcohol, sad memories of her mother's ongoing depression resurfacing.

Winter was also reminded of her mother when she spotted the wine, though she truly scowled as her mother's wine addiction was one of the reasons why she tried to leave her mother and father in the past. And her main reason why she despised other alcoholics—such as Qrow.

"Wine. Now there's something I'd hardly drink." Qrow said as he watched the scene.

At this, Winter raised her brow. "But your a drunk. Why wouldn't you drink it?"

"On rare occasion? Sure, maybe. But wine ain't like most other alcohol." Qrow started to explain. "You can measure most other alcohol, but you can't measure wine. There's a reason why you pour yourself a little bit in a glass at a time. Too much, and you'll be hammered for a while."

"Hmph. I suppose you're right on that." Winter said as she looked off to the side, face still a scowl.

Qrow saw this, and wondered what was wrong with Winter—besides her usual nature. The best he could mark it up to was when she saw Slimer chugging down a wine bottle.

___________________________

"Okay, Barty, just give me one high and outside." Qrow said to Oobleck, Slimer clearly gearing this as he stopped chugging the wine bottle and turned to face the three men getting spooked a bit.

Oobleck fires a proton stream at Slimer, narrowly missing the green ghost though it didn't deter Oobleck. Slimer went into frantic mode as Oobleck tried to move the proton stream towards him, causing Slimer to fly away from the Ghostbusters. In the mean time, Oobleck's proton stream kept going, destroying some of the buffet table and its contents.

"Ozpin!" Qrow said to the bespectacled, grey haired man.

Ozpin fires his proton stream at Slimer as well, though when he first fired it, it destroyed the table.

Slimer flew over to his behind an ornate bar. Ozpin, with gritted teeth, fired another proton stream towards the bar, causing Slimer to fly away from the his cover. However, Ozpin was having some difficulty in halting the stream of his proton wand as the proton stream utterly destroyed the back of the bar.
___________________________

"Missed again." Qrow said while snapping his fingers.

"He's a slippery one." Port commented. "The the three of them are going to need to fix their aim if they hope to catch him."

"It looks like Ozpin is having trouble maintaining his stream." Ren said.

"That just equals more property damage." Weiss said with a sigh and a shake of her head.

___________________________

Qrow and Oobleck watched as Slimer flew over to the ceiling once again, soon turning back to Ozpin who was still having trouble with his proton wand.

"Okay, all right, all right. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it!" Qrow yelled to Ozpin as he continued to destroy the bar. "Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah!"

Ozpin was soon able to get a hold of his proton wand, turning off the stream as he stared wide-eyed at the destruction he caused to the bar.

"Nice shooting, Tex." Qrow snarked at Ozpin.
___________________________

Most people had their eyes widened at the damage Ozpin had just done.

"This is ending up nearly as bad as the time when I destroyed Junior's bar." Yang muttered with wide eyes.

"At this rate, they're doing more damage than the ghost." Ilia said as she watched on.

"I think any property damage would be moderate enough to get rid of that voracious blob." Weiss said as she was still disgusted by Slimer.

While there were those with wide eyes in the audience, there was also those who found the situation to be amusing.

"Wow." Qrow said while chuckling. "You went a little overkill there, Oz."

"Nice shooting indeed." Tai said with a laugh.

"I can't help it if my other self is having performance issues." Ozpin defended himself. "It's his first time on the job."

"That's how it is for most men." Roman said with smirk, Neo giggling next to him.

Ozpin just deadpanned at the criminal mastermind.

___________________________

The scene cuts to back outside the ballroom. The hotel manager talking to an elderly woman with black clothing.

"I assure you Mrs. Van Hoffman, there is no problem with the room. It will be ready promptly as soon as your guests are with us." The hotel manager tried to reassure the elderly woman.

Cut back to the ballroom with the Ghostbusters and Slimer.

"The last throw took something out of him, but he's gonna move." Oobleck observed the situation. "I need room to put the trap down. Give me some room."

Hearing this, Qrow and Ozpin grabbed a nearby table, picked it up, and hurled it out of the way, causing the contents on the table to crash into the floor.

The crash was loud enough to be heard from outside the ballroom, gaining the hotel manager's attention.

"You'll excuse me, please." The hotel manager told Mrs. Van Hoffman as she quickly walked over to the locked doors.
___________________________

"He's in trouble.~" Nora said in a sing song voice.

"Hopefully they'll be able to catch Slimer soon without causing anymore damages." Pyrrha said with cringed look at Mesa the ballroom was in.

While that conversation was going on, Glynda rolled her eyes at the scene. "That ballroom is starting to look like the mess Teams RWBY and JNPR caused to the cafeteria in their food fight." She said, raising her voice so the students could here her while she gave them her famous glare.

The students started to sweat under Glynda's gaze as Yang whistled off to the side and Ruby fiddled with her fingers.

"Food fight?" Ilia asked a nervous Blake in confusion.

"I-I'll tell you later." Blake answered to the chameleon faunus.

___________________________

The hotel manager whispered something to a faunus staff member, causing him to immediately run off as the hotel manager awaited by the doors.

Back within the ballroom, Ozpin and Qrow had hurled away another table, soon walking over to another one.

However just before Ozpin grabbed it, Qrow stopped him. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I've always wanted to do this." Qrow said as he grabbed onto the table cloth. "And..."

He swiftly pulled the table cloth off the table, causing some of the dishes to crash onto the floor while knocking down the origami napkins, though one thing still stood. "The flowers are still standing!" Qrow yelled out triumphantly.
___________________________

"Yes!" Qrow shouted with a glee.

"Did you really always want to do that?" Yang asked her uncle.

"You have no idea." Tai answered her with an eye roll and a mirthful smirk.

"I finally did it." Qrow said while pumping his fist in the air.

"It was a different version of you that did it, you drunk." Winter told him with an eye roll.

"You will not take this away from, Ice Queen Senior." Qrow growled at her. "It don't matter if it was another version of me, I still did it."

___________________________

Oobleck soon threw an odd black box down onto the floor, a diagonal yellow and black strip pattern atop of it with a handle behind it and grey panels to the side with lights and knobs on it, connected to the back of it was a black cord that led to a button. This was a ghost trap.
___________________________

"What does that device do?" Ironwood asked with a questioning look.

"Ghost trap." Vortech simply answered him.

"That's the trap?" Sienna asked. "That's how they're going to catch that green blob?"

"They'll probably have to get the ghost over the trap in order for it to work." Penny analyzed.

"That must be where the particle streams come in." Ruby said as she pieced it together. "They wrangle up the ghost and move it over the trap."

"Like herding cattle to a pen." Vortech said to Ruby.

___________________________

The three men should in a circle, distancing themselves from each other and the trap as Oobleck spoke. "Okay, on my go-signal. Spengler, I want a confinement stream from you. Okay? Go." Oobleck ordered to Ozpin.

Ozpin immediately fired his proton stream at Slimer, the ghost finally getting caught in it as the stream held Slimer in place, the green ghost trying to escape.

"Okay. Hold him up there. He's gonna move." Oobleck said to Ozpin. "Hold him up. Go."

Now it was Qrow's turn to fire a proton stream at Slimer, the stream entrapping Slimer in its hold as well, making it harder for the little spud to escape.

"It's working, Barty." Ozpin informed Oobleck as he kept his hold.

"Start bringing him down. Start bringing him down." Oobleck said, motioning with his hands for the other two men to lower Slimer. "You've got him. Don't cross the streams."

"Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider, huh?" Qrow asked Slimer with glee as he was getting his revenge on the green ghost.
___________________________

"Sweet, sweet revenge." Qrow said with a smirk.

"We finally managed to get a hold on Slimer." Ozpin said with a smile.

"Now all we have to do is trap him." Oobleck said with a determined look.

___________________________

The two men slowly, but surely, brought Slimer down as they made sure to keep their hold on the ghost.

"Branwen, shorten your stream. I don't want my face burned off." Ozpin informed Qrow as the proton stream was getting closer to Ozpin's face.

Hearing this, Qrow looked down at his proton wand to shorten the stream.

Oobleck now has his para goggles back on his eyes as started to give another set of instructions. "All right. I'm opening the trap now." Oobleck said as he put his hand on his para goggles, soon looking down at the red button connected to the ghost trap. "Don't look directly into the trap."
___________________________

"Wait, what happens when you look at the trap?" Ruby asked.

"To be honest, it's never really explained." Vortech said with a shrug.

"Then why even advise against it?" Roman asked with a raised brow.

"My best guess is that it might cause eye damage or blindness. Like staring into the sun for too long." Vortech answered them.

___________________________

Oobleck slammed his boot down onto the button, causing the trap to open as it emitted a bright, pale-yellow glow.

Ozpin looked straight down at the open trap, eyes soon widening. "I looked at the trap, Barty." He informed Oobleck in slight worry.
___________________________

Everyone started to chuckle at Ozpin's expense.

"When did I become the butt of the joke?" Ozpin asked with a confused look.

"I'd say since the look you had when your other self went down the fire pole." Ironwood said as he tried to hide a laugh.

___________________________

"Turn your streams off as soon as I close the trap." Oobleck instructed Qrow and Ozpin as they brought Slimer closer towards the ghost trap, said trap starting to pull Slimer in.

"Get ready. I'm closing it... Now!" Oobleck yelled out, stepping into the button again, Ozpin and Qrow shutting off their proton wands as they looked away from the bright light that came from the ghost trap.

Slimer was soon pulled into the trap with an echoey yell before the trap soon closed, keeping Slimer inside.

Qrow soon tunes back towards the trap with one eye opened to see what happened.

The trap continued to beep as the three men looked at it. Ozpin kneeled down to inspect it as Qrow nudging the trap a bit with his blue, a few blue spark of electricity emitting from it, but nothing else.

"It's in there." Ozpin informed his colleagues as he looked up at them.
___________________________

"Did they get him?" Jaune asked.

"I think they did." Pyrrha said with a smile.

"That was awesome!" Nora cheered.

"Revenge achieved." Qrow said with a nod.

"Astonishing." Pietro said with wide eyes. "They actually caught a spectral entity."

"Finally living up to their name." Yang said with a proud smirk.

"Yeah!" Ruby said as she high-fived her sister.

___________________________

"Hey." Qrow said to the box as he still aimed his proton wand at it, expecting something to happen.

"Well, that wasn't such a chore. Now was it?" Oobleck asked with a smile as he looked at Ozpin and Qrow.

Ozpin, slightly exasperated, just looked up at Oobleck with a calm look that also said 'seriously?' all over his face.
___________________________

Ozpin and Qrow gave Oobleck very dull looks.

Oobleck just sipped his coffee and looked away from them.

"He can't be serious, right?" Roman asked in response to what onscreen Oobleck insinuated.

___________________________

Back outside the ballroom, the hotel manager looked out to see someone coming towards him.

"Mr. Smith, quickly. I want that door open now." The hotel manager said as another man went over to the door.

"Donald, stand over there." The hotel manager said to the faunus, prompting the faunus to do so.

Though before Mr. Smith could get to work, the doors swung open, causing Mr. Smith and the hotel manager to move back, the Ghostbusters now walking out of the ballroom with Qrow at the lead.

"We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass." Qrow spoke triumphantly.
___________________________

Qrow rose his fist in the air, a sign of agreement with his counterpart.

"I wanna see them catch more ghosts now." Ruby said with stars in her eyes.

"It would be a fun experience." Blake said with a small smile.

"With the fact that there are two types of ghosts, I wonder which ones would have been people, and which ones would be manifestions." Weiss said as she tapped her chin in thought.

___________________________

"Did you see it? What is it?" The hotel a manger asked.

"We got it." Oobleck said with a bright smile as he held up the bow smoking trap for the manager to see.

"What is it?" The manager asked. "Will there be any more of them?" He asked while bringing a handkerchief to his nose, trying to block out the smoke.

Oobleck coughed a bit from the smoke as he started to explain to the hotel manager. "Sir, what you had there was what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm or a class-five full-roaming vapor." He informed the manager as Qrow pulled out a pencil and small notepad with a blue cover. "A real nasty one too." Oobleck commented as he looked at the trap.

"And now, ahem." Qrow walked over to the hotel manager, gaining his attention. "Let's talk seriously." Qrow said as he and Ozpin shared a glance.

"Now, for the entrapment we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones, $4,000 for that." Qrow said as Ozpin subtlety held four fingers against the side of his face.

"But we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast." Qrow started as he lightly glanced at Ozpin who held up a single finger up to his chin. "And that's only gonna come to $1,000, fortunately." He said as Oobleck looked at the hotel manager, then back at Qrow.
___________________________

"I see what they're doing there." Roman said as he shared a smirk with Neo.

"Nice." Qrow said with a chuckle.

"What is it?" Ruby asked.

"You see the fingers Ozpin is subtlety showing to me?" Qrow asked as he pointed to the screen. "It's a subtle way of telling me the money that we're gonna need for the time being."

"Oh, that's smart." Ruby said with a nod.

"It's, headmaster Ozpin. Would you expect less?" Weiss asked her partner.

"It's odd seeing you do something like that with Qrow." Glynda said with a bamboozled look. "I never thought I'd see the day that the two of you would conspire with each other on what you should be paid."

Ozpin shrugged with a small smile. "The multiverse is strange place, isn't it?"

___________________________

"Five thousand dollars?" The manager asked, as if Qrow was jesting. "I had no idea it'd be so much. I won't pay it." He said as he placed his handkerchief back into his shirt pocket, Oobleck looking at him.

"That's all right." Qrow started. "We can just put it right back in there. Thank you." Qrow said as he started to put the notepad away.

"We certainly can, Dr. Branwen." Oobleck agreed with Qrow as he started to walk the trap back over to the ballroom.
___________________________

"That was rude." Ruby said as she gave the manager the stink eye.

"Go figure, the rich people don't want to pay the help the right amount." Ilia said with an eye roll. "It's not as if that ghost was just gonna leave."

"Do you really think they're release Slimer?" Jaune asked Pyrrha.

"I mean... it seems like it." Pyrrha answered with a shrug.

"Well, if I know my rich people—and I usually do." Roman started off. "The manager is about to cave in."

___________________________

"No, no, no. No!" The hotel manager yelled as he went to stop Oobleck.

The hotel manager soon put on his best smile as he spoke. "All right. Anything." He said to the Ghostbusters.

"Thanks so much." Qrow said with a slight smile as handed the hotel manager a slip of paper. "Hope we can help again."

The hotel manager stood there with the bill in his hand as the three scientists started to walk off.

"Coming through." Oobleck said to anyone in their way. "One class-five, free-roaming vapor. Move 'em out."
___________________________

"I've proved my point." Roman said with a proud smirk as he closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Serves the manager right." Sienna said with a smirk. "You called them to help, and now you pay them what they're owed."

Glynda looked at Qrow and Oobleck. "Did you really have to threaten him by letting that ghost back out?"

"Hey, he wasn't gonna pay up." Qrow said in their defense. "No reason taking that spud ball with us if we ain't getting paid for all the trouble."

"That, and we do need the money." Oobleck said. "It's not like dealing with Grimm. Ghosts are an entirely different field, and we need the funding for the equipment."

"They do have a point." Ozpin told to his deputy head mistress.

Glynda just pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed in annoyance.

___________________________

The scene cuts to Willow in her apartment, wearing a pink tank top and pink sweat pants, watching tv as she did sit-ups.

"Good morning. I'm Roger Grimsby: Today, the entire eastern seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurrences have been reported across the entire tri-state area." The news reporter said, getting Willow to halt in her sit ups as she paid attention to the tv.
___________________________

"Nice legs." Roman muttered to himself.

However, Neo heard him and flicked him on the forehead—giving him a look of disapproval.

"It sounds like their business is starting to boom." Ironwood observed.

"It makes sense." Weiss said. "With the inevitable news about what went down at the Sedgewick known to the public, more and more people will certainly start going to the Ghostbusters for help."

"You hear that?" Qrow asked Ozpin and Oobleck with a smile. "Rich and famous. That's something I can get behind." He told them, though he found himself taking an observational look at Willow's thighs.

___________________________

The scene cuts to a reporter in the busy streets of New York, traffic busy as ever with many a people walking around.

"Well, everybody's heard ghost stories around the campfire. Heck, my grandma used to spin yarns about a spectral locomotive that would rocket past the farm where she grew up." The reporter said, all the while a man with long hair and a long beard in denim clothing stopped in his tracks to look at the camera from behind the reporter, stroking his beard as he checked himself out. "But now, as if some unforeseen authority..."

The scene cuts the ringing alarm of the Firehouse as the Ghostbusters started to get out of their beds, exchanging pajama-wear for more suitable clothing, Oobleck looking the most disheveled.

Music played as newspaper clippings of Qrow, Oobleck, and Ozpin were shown reading: "Ghost Fever Grips New York".

🎶If there's something strange
In your neighborhood🎶

🎶Who you gonna call?🎶

🎶Ghostbusters!🎶

The scene changes to Ecto-1 being driven through the rain upon the streets of New York City.
___________________________

"This song is awesome." Yang said as she banged her head to the beat.

"They even have a theme song?" Ilia asked with owlish eyes.

"Eh, it's pretty catchy from the sound of it." Sienna said as she found herself pulled into the sway of the music.

"It's montage time, folks!" Nora cheered with a big smile.

___________________________

🎶If there's something weird
And it don't look good🎶

The scene changes to Qrow and Oobleck starting to pack away some of their equipment, only to soon be halted by an Asian man that came up from behind them and offered them two free, freshly cooked chickens, the two men accepting it as Qrow bowed a bit to the man.

Another newspaper clipping read: "GHOST COPS BUST CHINATOWN SPOOK."

🎶Who you gonna call?🎶

🎶Ghostbusters!🎶

Another glimpse of the alarm ringing as the scene cuts to the Ecto-1 driving throughout the streets once again, this time on a cloudier day.

"Stand aside, please!" Oobleck yelled out as he came running up some brick stairs, holding a smoking trap in his right hand.

"Hi, this is Larry King." A voice from the radio spoke. "The phone-in topic today: ghosts and ghostbusting."

A Times article appeared onscreen that read: "GHOSTBUSTERS: Supernatural Success Story".

Larry King was smoking a cigarette while he was in his recording studio. "The controversy builds, more sightings are reported. Some maintain that these professional paranormal eliminators are the in New York are the cause of it all."
___________________________

"Why would people think that the Ghostbusters are the problem?" Ruby asked in confusion, and slight offense.

"In their defense, ghosts are still a controversial topic." Blake told her team leader. "They may think that the Ghostbusters are either making it all up in some way, or that the ghosts only popped up when the Ghostbusters arrived."

"Well, they shouldn't." Ruby said while crossing her arms. "That like saying huntsmen and huntresses attract Grimm."

"People can be jerks and idiots. Plain and simple." Ilia told Ruby, remembering her so called human 'friends' who laughed when news about the Dust mining accident—that killed her parents—reached the public.

"Well, not all people." Ruby said, feeling like using people in general was going too far. "I mean, Penny's real nice, my dads real nice too—and you also seem really nice also." She told to the chameleon faunus.

Ilia's spots turned pink at hearing this, though she tried not to show it the best she could.

___________________________

🎶If you're seeing things
Running through your head🎶

The Ghostbusters were running through New York once more, Oobleck having a trap in his hand, lights strung up on trees as it was now the holidays.

An Omni magazine was shown with the Proton pack on the cover.

🎶Who can you call?🎶

🎶Ghostbusters!🎶
___________________________

"Ghostbusters!" Ruby, Yang, Jaune, Nora, and Neo sang along, albeit with Neo signing the phrase.

Ilia was even getting into the music as well, though she didn't sing along. Right now she was tapping her feet to the beat of the music.

___________________________

Ozpin was now walking out of a shop by himself during the cold day, a trap in his hand as he looked for Oobleck and Qrow. "Oobleck, I got it! Oobleck?!"

🎶An invisible man
Sleeping in your bed🎶

The Ghostbusters were running through the crowded city once more, and Atlantic magazine was shown with CHIBI versions of Qrow, Oobleck, and Ozpin chasing a cartoony ghost.

🎶Oh, who you gonna call?🎶

🎶Ghostbusters!🎶

"Still making headlines all across the country, the Ghostbusters are at it again. This time at the fashionable dance club, The Rose." A radio host named Casey Kasem spoke.

Willow was wearing a pink shirt under an open button-up shirt while also wearing blue jeans. She was currently chopping up carrots and celery on a chopping board as the radio was on.

"The boys in grey slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance." Casey reported, causing Willow to smile and chuckle a bit as she continued chopping. "This is Casey Kasem. Now on with the countdown."

Cut to Qrow and Oobleck in front of a lot of reported, Qrow with some slime on his suit as he spoke to them. "Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No job is too big, no fee is too big." Qrow said.

Cut to Glynda at her desk answering calls, the phone constantly ringing.

"Is it just a mist, or does it have arms and legs?" Glynda asked to the person on the other line, a pencil wedges on her ear and a pencil between her fingers.
___________________________

"I wonder what's worse." Glynda began. "Piles of Beacon Academy paperwork, or taking calls 24 hours a day."

"If being around father has told me anything, paperwork is much easier." Winter said, scowling at the thought of her father.

"My experience say otherwise." Glynda said as she narrowed her eyes at Ozpin—the man looking off to the side while humming along with the Ghostbusters tune.

___________________________

Oobleck was now his a button-up blue shirt with a beige dress suit over it as he on tv doing an interview, Willow watching said the while wearing a robe and having a towel on her head, sowing something in the process.

"As they say in TV, uh, I'm sure there's one big question on everybody's mind, and I imagine you are the man to answer that." The tv host spoke to Oobleck.

"How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately?" The tv host asked Oobleck as the bespectacled, green haired main chuckled a bit with a slightly nervous smile to him.
___________________________

"Who's Elvis?" Ruby asked.

"Weird name." Nora commented.

"He was a famous singer in this world—among others." Vortech answered them. "People referred to him as the king of rock and roll. Of course, he's dead now—but that doesn't stop a few people from thinking he's alive somewhere."

"Those few people must be a bunch of loonies." Roman said with a raised brow.

___________________________

🎶If you've had a dose
Of a freaky ghost🎶

Another newspaper article was shown that read: "GHOSTBUSTERS SUPER DIET!" as two people were seen opening the door of the Ecto-1 for Qrow as a kind gesture and so that Qrow could sign autographs for them.

🎶Baby, you'd better call🎶

🎶Ghostbusters!🎶

The scene changes to night time at the Firehouse, each Ghostbuster in their uniforms as they slept on each of their beds in disheveled positions.

🎶Oww!🎶

Soon everything started to blur into something else as the audience was soon met with a sleeping Oobleck. However this Oobleck was sleeping in more royalty styled clothing with fluffy shoulder tassels. His room was Victorian-esc with a few swords on the walls, the overall aesthetic being very well kept and clean.

Soon after though, Oobleck's eyes shout wide open was he came face to face with a female ghost that was floating atop of him. Though unlike most ghosts, this one was more human in appearance and quite the beauty, an eerie yet almost heavenly blue glow surrounded her being.
___________________________

"Oh-ho, what's going on here?" Port asked with a raised brow.

"Seems like a byproduct of being a workaholic." Qrow said with shrug while looking at the ghostly women. "Can't say Barty doesn't dream about beautiful women though."

Oobleck just rolled his eyes at Qrow.

"Why she just floating about Dr. Oobleck?" Ruby asked.

"I don't know." Yang said while giving the scene a strange look.

___________________________

Soon enough, the female ghost disappeared from sight, causing Oobleck to lift up a bit and look left and right of his room.

Music continued to play as Oobleck wondered where the female ghost went off to, only to pause at the sound of his belt being undone.

Looking down at his pants, Oobleck widened his eyes a bit as it seemed the bow invisible female ghost was undoing his pants. When the belt came undone, the female ghost quickly unzipped his pants, revealing his white underwear that had a growing bulge within it.

Oobleck soon had a very weird face with a slightly goofy smile as his eyes crossed a bit, moaning in pleasure as he cranked his head back.
___________________________

"Oh, God!!" Tai screamed in horror.

"My eyes!" Jaune screamed out.

"I did not need to see this." Weiss growled as she covered her eyes.

"O-oh, dear." Pyrrha said as she averted her eyes.

"Renny, I think I've gone blind." Nora said as she covered her eyes.

"I wouldn't blame you." Ren said as he did the same.

Blake blushed at what she saw as Ilia stuck her tongue out in a disgust.

"My word." Glynda said with a shocked look.

"Barty!" Port said as he looked at his friend.

"Well... I was not expecting this." Ozpin said with shut eyelids.

"Someone's horny." Sienna said as she too looked towards Oobleck.

Oobleck himself was frozen with shock. His mouth agape with his eyes widened, a crack in his glasses seeming to have formed.

"What am I seeing?" Ruby asked with a worried look, just knowing that what was happening was not age appropriate.

Meanwhile, Qrow, Yang, Roman, and Neo were laughing their asses off at what they were seeing.

"I believe Dr. Oobleck is dreaming about a female ghost giving him fellatio." Penny said with an observational look.

"P-Penny!" Pietro, Ironwood, and Winter said in shock.

"I don't know what word means." Ruby said with a confused look.

The previously mentioned four continued to laugh, their voices getting higher when Penny spoke.

___________________________

The scene cut back to the sleeping Ghostbusters as Oobleck was moaning in his sleep, kicking his feet in the air until he soon rolled off his bed, waking Qrow up in the process.

"Oh!" Oobleck yelped in slight pain when he fell to the floor.
___________________________

Qrow, Yang, Roman, and Neo started to calm down from their laughter—though they were still breathing hard.

"Oh, I needed that." Qrow said while wiping away a tear.

"I don't think I can ever look at Oobleck the same again." Yang said while trying to calm down from her chuckling.

Meanwhile, Vortech made his way over Oobleck, moving past Ozpin, Glynda, and Port before he stood in front of Oobleck. He grabbed the man's cracked glasses and replaced them with new ones. He then snapped his fingers in Oobleck's face before walking back to his throne.

"Are you alright, Barty?" Port asked his friend as he placed a hand on his shoulder.

Oobleck continued to look at the screen before he soon spoke. "We never speak of this. Ever. Again." He said before he soon closed his mouth and stared at the screen.

"Gladly." Glynda said.

"Don't need to tell me twice." Tai said as he had tried to get the image of Oobleck getting a blow job out of his head.

"Of course." Port reassured his friend.

___________________________

The scene soon transitions to one Taiyang Xiao Long standing outside the Firehouse, Goulding some papers in his hand as he wore a grey dress suit over a plaid button-up shirt, wearing black khakis for pants.

However unlike his offscreen self, this version of Taiyang had black, grey, and beige scales running all over his skin, an indication that his was a faunus.
___________________________

"Hey, I got here!" Tai said with glee while radiating his fist in the air.

"Taiyang's a faunus, in this universe?" Ironwood asked with a raised brow.

"Huh, I didn't notice that in the trailer." Yang said with a slightly shocked look.

"I suppose anything's possible in the multiverse." Winter said as she cupped her chin in thought.

"Is there an issue with him being a faunus?" Sienna asked with a scowl, Ilia doing the same.

"I sure hope not." Tai said with complete honesty. "I think I look cool."

"You... you don't have a problem with not being a human?" Sienna asked with owlish eyes.

"I mean, I don't see why I should. Human, faunus—hell—unicorn, I don't see why I should hold any ill will to either one." Tai answered the High-Leader of the White Fang. "And I made sure to pass on those same ideals to my two children." He said as he smiled warmly at his daughter, the two of them smiling back at him.

"Wise words, Taiyang." Ozpin said with a respectful nod, Glynda and Ironwood doing the same.

Ilia looked at Ruby and Yang. "And you two are ok with seeing your dad as a faunus?"

"Well, yeah. He's still our dad." Ruby said to Ilia like it was the simplest thing in the world.

"I mean, heck—Vortech said that Rubes was an alien in the universe with Mando. That still isn't gonna change the fact that she's my sister—even if she's from a different universe." Yang told to Ilia as she placed Ruby in a side hug.

Ilia had a strange look as she started to think to herself, Blake giving her a reassuring smile as she did so.

"By the way, what kind of faunus am I?" Tai asked Vortech.

"Oh, you're a Komodo Dragon faunus." Vortech replies to him.

"...Awesome." Tai said with stars in his eyes.

___________________________

Taiyang looked up at the Ghostbusters Firehouse as if to make sure it was the right place. Spotting the Ghostbusters' sign, the Komodo dragon faunus decided to walk into the building.

The screen then cuts to black.
___________________________

"Well that was fun." Jaune said as he stretched his arms.

"I can't wait to see more." Ruby said with an excited smile before looking to Vortech. "What universe are we gonna see next?"

"Hmm. Hold on, let me see." Vortech said as he pulled an orb of sorts that he had behind his throne.

He swiped through it, moving past the first few worlds he showed the audience, until he landed in the next universe.

"Oh!... uh—oh, right." Vortech said in a slightly angry tone.

"What's wrong?" Ozpin asked him.

Vortech just gave out an angry sigh before calming himself. "Nothing. I just so happen to... know someone in this universe that I don't particularly favor."

"Was it someone you knew when you were a baddie?" Qrow asked him.

"That term is relative." Vortech told him. "But-uh, yes. It was during that time."

"So? What are we waiting for? Let's see it!" Nora shouted impatiently.

"Calm down, Nora." Ren said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

Vortech mumbles to himself about being ordered around by a teenager before he started up the next universe.
