A Forgotten Something Remembered

It has been a day since Ozpin tried to take Aurora to his family 'forcefully.' He is very lucky that he did not get caught, but the suit is very destructive, and did not wish to use it for long, or it would corrupt him, in the way he believes. Now, he is back in his original form, and is a new apartment.

The apartment isn't bad at all, and lucky for them, it has 3 bedrooms for Amber, Emerald, and Neo. Aurora simply has himself sleep on a wall.

Speaking of Aurora, He has now returned back into his original body, now repaired, and is now looking down at his robotic hand. It is now nighttime, and is close to sleep. But Aurora couldn't help but think of what had happened back when he was attacked by the Headmaster.

"How did her know that I was with the Rose Family, even in that body? No matter, he will not get me the next time. Because...I have a plan for how to deal with him again, and it does not simply involve the stronger body that I had made through the Atlas Knight-200. It is something that will make Ozpin regret encountering me."

As Aurora thinks of this, Amber came to him, while also wearing her Pajamas now.

"Aurora, it is bedtime now."

Aurora looked, and spoke to her.

"Okay, I'll sleep now. Good night, Amber."

But as he is about to shut down, Amber grabbed his arm, which stopped him.

"Oh, no. You will not sleep here. Come and sleep in bed with me."

This surprised him a bit, and he blushed, which was symbolized by the fact that his 'eyes' are now glowing a pink color. Amber noticed and giggled out.

"Hmhmhmhm...Are you blushing, Aurora?"

Aurora than shook his head.

"No...Since when does a robot like me just blush?"

She than spoke out loud.

"Since your eyes turned pink,"

He than looked surprised, and facepalmed at his own helmet, which he had to open. Amber than tugs him, who than gets up and walks

"Come on now, Aurora. Do not be shy in this."

Aurora sighed, but he just went along with her game. He than went onto the bed with her, but than thinks to himself by saying.

'I hope that it does not fall and be broken because of my robotic weight.'

As he laid on the bed, Amber than came to him, and is now sleeping above him. Before he could do anything else, she than hugs him, and sleeps peacefully.

"Goodnight, Aurora."

Sighing, when Amber is asleep, he moved his arms to hug her. Not to hard, just very gentle. Not to right, just very delicate. He than looked up, as he began to reflect on what has happened to him in his personal life. His true family died. He moved in to another one, only to be abused to submission. He was nearly killed by his adopted father, Taiyang, while he used his poisonous gun from a Grimm on him to kill as well in revenge. He transferred his Aura to the Atlas Knight, which reawakened him, resurrecting him. He took in Emerald, Neo, and Amber. And is now trying the best he can to protect them so much. His life is very crazy. But he does not complain. In fact, his years inside of an atlas robot body made it look so normal. He than opens the helmet, and he than shuts down, with his hands hugging Amber. He than went to sleep, in a very peaceful way.

8 Years ago before being adopted...in memory of Aurora...

Aurora, as an 8-year old boy, is seen in his human form as a child. He is seen having a little fun with a machine, and is fixing a motorcycle. He than goes through a tool box, and fished out a wrench. He than goes to the pipes to to tighten and make sure that it does not leak. As he does this, he hears a voice behind him.

"You know, that is very unnecessary to get ahead, son."

Aurora than turned, and sees his father in his engineer clothing.

Aurora looked and was very excited to see who it is meeting him.

"...Dad."

He than turns around and hugs his father, who than returned the hug to Aurora.

"Just don't get to ahead of me next time, okay? I want to work on this thing along with you."

Aurora looks up and nods.

"Okay, Dad."

Aurora's father than chuckled, and worked on the bike alongside with his son. But as they are working on the bike, there was a strange thought in Aurora's mind, but he doesn't know what it has suddenly appeared. He than talks to his dad, which is seemingly important.

"Hey, Daddy. I have been wondering about something rather strange."

Aurora's father than turns a bit, but it still working on the motorcycle that he is still working on now.

"I'm listening, son. What's that?"

Aurora looks down a bit, and than spoke his question.

"I wondered...where did the family get their passion to work on the mechanical jobs."

Aurora was a bit surprised that he has said that. But he smiled, and spoke.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you to say this topic."

He than sit down into a bench, and began speaking.

"Machinery has been a great passion for our family. Generations upon generations, we have become very interested in robotics. Because here, we believed that machinery isn't just made to be served as just tools, we also did it to help humans. And when it comes to robots, unlike the people from the past, who treated them as nothing more than just slaves, we think of them is people. True, they may not have a human-like form...but their mentality is as human as us. It has been our passion to use it to help the people in our need."

Aurora is so interested in what his father has said, but what he said next is what really interested him.

"Aurora, son, there is one thing that I want to show you. It is one thing that I have been cooking up and have been finishing for a long time. Do you want to see what I have been making?"

Aurora now feels excited and shouted out excitingly.

"YES PLEASE!!!"

His father jumped a bit, but chucked and ruffled his hair. He than goes down into the basement, and locks the door. Inside of the basement. It is much more advanced than Aurora was expecting it to be in what he was supposed to see.

When they went down, they saw a pod of some sorts. The pod was the size of an average man. When Aurora looked into the glass, while he doesn't see the entire thing, he does see what seems to be a sort of mechanical heart.

The gears clicked and turned. The glowing of an aura is seen when gears kept on turning for as long as it is kept going. He than turns and spoke to his father.

"What's that?"

His father chuckled and spoke.

"Not what...who is that."

He than pressed a button, and the pod begins opening. Aurora steps back, and began to see who it is. When he looked...he saw-

Flashback ends...9:00 morning...

Aurora wakes up from the dream/flashback of his past. When he woke up, Amber is up, and she looked like she was ready to pound on his head to awaken him from his sleep. Aurora looks at Amber, deadpanned, if she can actually get the hint from the way his head has turns around and began staring at her.

"We're you really going to..."

Amber than puts her hand away. She than turned around, as she looked really embarrassed.

'Darn it! I was going to knock his helmet off when I was waking him.'

Aurora than stood up, and helped Amber make a bed. After a little while, Aurora than went to the couch, while everyone is at the table eating some food that Emerald had got from shopping, or the better word:stealing. Aurora was a bit embarrassed that Emerald still had that sort of taken from when he first found both Emerald and Neo as little kids.

'This would explain the food.'

He thought, as he facepalmed, as he cannot believe that Emerald has done this again. He thought she quit it. But, you know what, what was done is now done. He just waits for a little while, while everyone was at the table having their own little form of fun. He just hopes that the family does not recognize him, or better yet, appear today. If they had heard from their daughters of inhabiting a Atlas Knight-135, and that none of the other Atlas Knights are still around the entirety of Remnant, his own life could easily spell doom.

'But...what happened when I was asleep from that time? Was that a...a memory? If it is...what was that I was forgetting before?'

He thought to himself, as he closed his eyes, which almost resembles his 'shutdown' mode. The only difference is that the eyes are barely glowing.  Thankfully, none of his friends noticed that, or they would have been banging on his body so many times now, just to know if he is in-fact still awake. But as he is still thinking, he did remember seeing something in the pod, something shaped similar to a human, with some red on the head's face, but he has no real idea what that thing on the head was. But he does know that it is very, very important.

Timeskip...half an hour later...

Aurora and his friends are now outside walking with him. But Aurora's friends had noticed that he has been awfully quiet. True, he does speak less than the others in his group, but was never quiet down to this level.

"Aurora?"

Amber than spoke aloud. Aurora flinched and turned.

"Yeah? What is it, Amber?"

He spoke to his friend. Amber than spoke to him.

"Are you okay? You have been way more quiet than usual. Is there something that you are thinking in your mind?"

Aurora than realized what she meant, and sighed a bit.

"I...I feel like I'm forgetting something. Something rather...important."

Amber and the others looked a bit surprised at him.

"Something important...what's so important?"

Emerald spoke to her friend. He than turned around, and just shrugged, as though unsure.

"I feel like I am trying to remember something in the past, but is unable to know what it is. But...I do struggle trying to remember what I've seen."

He than used his sensors unintentionally, and saw something bad. Ozpin is coming this direction, and he is not in his other suit right now. He than grabbed everyone, and got them to a nearby alleyway, and gestures them 🤫

"Shhhhhh."

He than turns to the wall, and thankfully, due to the color of the robotic body that he is in, it allows him to blend in with the dark shadow that the buildings is making. Than, he saw what he is fearing the most here.

It was Ozpin, and he is talking to the family that had made him this. Aurora was able to control the lights, and was able to shut them off, but only when he makes them close his eyes. Than, he hears Summer talking to Ozpin.

"Oz! Is my son alive?! Please tell me he is!!"

"Your son if alive, Summer. But he refused to come and had escaped from me."

Than, Qrow's voice was heard.

"Well, I bet that you can find em, Oz."

But Aurora was like.

'Like hell I am coming back again.'

He than made wheels underneath his feet and arms, and began to roll away, silently. Amber and the others floated silently and began to follow.

But as they began to turn away, a lone dog saw them, and began to bark. This caused Ozpin and the others to notice. Deciding not to take the chance, Aurora made rocket feet, took Neo and Emerald, and they both fly away with Amber.

Ozpin looked and saw that it was imply a dog, but was sure that the others were there. He than facepalmed, seeing that he mistakened, but does know Aurora's here. And ever since that the place had exploded, he can't find a way to find out where Aurora's hiding in. For all he knows, he could be hiding anywhere here.

Aurora is now flying in the air, trying to flee. Amber was also here, and was also not happy to. But Aurora than notice something under him, and realized something.

"Could it be..."

He than slows and stops a bit. Emerald and Neo noticed with Amber.

"Aurora? What are you..."

Emerald began to say confused, before Aurora than goes down softly. Amber follows him. When they go down, they saw a mechanical house...and it was very, very rusted everywhere.

Everyone began to notice something strange, and spoke to him.

"Aurora, what is that house?"

Emerald spoke out. Aurora than goes forth, and spoke out.

"This...this used to be my original house."

Everyone heard that and they were shocked.

"What?! That was the house that you were originally in?!"

Emerald shouted from complete surprise. But he does not answer. He than goes in, and looks everywhere. When he enters a bedroom, he finds a photo, and looks at it. It was of him, back as a human, with his dad and has mom together, and all there were happy. Aurora than tears out oil, signaling he is now crying. But he wiped it off. Amber came in, and looked at the photo.

"Who...who is that boy in the picture?"

She questioned, Aurora's answer...

"That was...who I once used to be back then."

Amber was confused, until she finally understand those words completely.

"Wait...that was you? You were a human from the past."

He turned and nodded.

"It's a...a little complicated."

As he looked, he than remembered something. He walks outside, and finds the basement's entrance. He and the others entered, but before truly descending into the stairs, he locks the basement door, hiding them completely.

The entire basement was rusted and abandoned. It looks like the entire thing is flaking. Many walls and ceilings are in the state of deterioration. As they walked around, he remembers the pods location. He turns and walks into the room, and everyone sees it. There was writing on it.

"Project V...That sounds familiar."

Aurora said. He than looked and types in a password that he refuse to answer to everyone around here. After a minute, the pod than began to open from activation. When the pod opens, and everyone was shocked at what they are seeing inside it.

"It's...it's a...It's a and...andr..."
