After the incident with Twilight, the next few days went by smoothly. Iilah mostly kept to the library and simply stayed there for the time. Indigo made sure she has something to do and the rest of the staff and students seemed to keep an eye on her, now knowing what she did and can do. She was upset that she thinks everyone is after her but didn’t do anything about it other than being annoyed.

At the moment I was sitting in one of Indigo’s classes as he was giving a lesson as everyone heard a loud scream from Iilah. I looked over at Indigo as he let out an annoyed sigh.

“If you’d all excuse me for a moment.” He said in a professional manner before heading out to the library. After he passed me I got up and followed him. He looked over at me with an arched brow.

“Don’t say it.” I said as we continued on. Once we got there we found Iilah standing in front of a bookcase, one that half of the books were missing.

“But… I just… I just sorted those!” she said as she saw us and put up her hands. “I didn’t do it I swear!”

“We weren’t going to accuse you of anything.” Indigo said, walking up to her. I stood behind him as I saw this one bookcase didn’t really hold a lot of books, mostly it can hold up to twenty in total.

“Find the cards!” Iilah said as she ran to a desk with drawers in it. She pulled one of them and inside there was a number of cards in it. Indigo looked at her oddly as she checked the cards.

“So… what’s up with the cards?” I asked her. She frowned at that as she kept looking.

“Magic cards will say who has the books at the moment.” she turned and smiled. “Took me a while to imprint every book here but hey, I spent a long times sorting this library.”

“Impressive.” Indigo said, actually impressed at her organization. “So who took your missing books?” He then asked.

“Let’s see… a here they are- Oh really!!” she yelled before groaning. “First the Elements thing and now this!”

I looked at her confused before looking at the card which has the name Twilight Sparkle on it. “Why is she here?” Indigo’s look of confusion was then replaced with one of realization.

“Ah right, well after our talk with Twilight, she had gotten permission for her and her friends to come see the school and have a look around.” Indigo said. Iilah crossed her arms at this.

“She should’ve asked to read these books, some of them are really really old…” she grumbled.

“I doubt they’ll be able to damage the books, Zecora mentioned that some have been enchanted to the point of invulnerability.” Indigo said, looking at some of the books. “The older they are the harder they are to damage as Zecora put it.” He added. Iilah still frowned at this, guessing that she still felt resentment towards the mare.

“Well if she returns them I’m fine with that, but if there’s a single one missing then I’m going to raise Tartarus.” She said before walking off. This got a chuckle from Indigo.

“Right, I’ll go dismiss the class.” Indigo said, turning and heading back to his classroom. I followed him back before speaking.

“She seems to be getting better…” I told him.

“She’s getting there. I think she even enjoys having me and Blake around, though I doubt she’ll admit such a thing.” He said with a little laugh. He shook his head before adding. “I’m still trying to get her side of the story, you know, about the whole Nightmare Moon and eternal night thing.” He said.

“Maybe ask Twilight about it or maybe her friends?” I asked as I put my hands behind my head.

“I don’t think that’s such a good idea.” Indigo answered simply.

“You want to hear it from her?” I asked, thinking that the others would simply villainize her. He nodded, a serious look forming on him.

“Yeah, I’ve already heard their side of the story but I want to hear her side of it.” He said before shaking his lightly and adding. “Everyone has a reason for being what they are now.” He said. As I listened I looked on ahead and saw Sylph walking in front of the halls with her ears turning in different directions and tilting her head. “Is something up with Sylph?” Indigo asked, noticing the Fox grimm in question. I only shrugged as Sylph walked over to a wall and started pawing it. After a minute the wall seemed to open up and she went inside it.

“Oh… a secret door.” I said as the door closed behind her.

“This place seems to be littered with them.” Indigo said with a roll of his eyes, not really surprised to see yet another secret wall door.

“Right… kinda neat that she can find them.” I said to him. He just shrugged as he continued his walk back to his classroom. I followed him back to the classroom just in time for him to dismiss them for the day. As I went to gather my things, a familiar bark echoed from out in the hallway before a blur of black fur zoomed into the now empty classroom only to stop just beside Indigo’s desk.

“Hey Oni, back from your expedition?” Indigo asked, gaining a nod from the Beowolf in question before making an odd, dog-like noise and wagging his tail. “Yeah, you must’ve enjoyed it seeing as you took your sweet time.” Indigo said, scratching behind Oni’s ears. I smiled at this as I walked over to them.

“What’s this about an expedition?” I asked.

“Oni wanted to explore the forest when we first got here and while I knew nothing about the dangers that lurk within these woods, I trusted Oni to come back in one piece.” Indigo said, still giving the Beowolf some attention. “So before I started working here, I allowed him to go and explore. He’s earned it.” Oni looked at me before walking up to my leg and nuzzling it a bit, having missed me as well. I smiled as I knelt down and petted him.

“Had fun?” I asked him. He then proceeded to lick me. I laughed at this as a wall opened up and Sylph came walking out. Her ears pointed forward as she saw us there. “Hey Sylph, have fun exploring?”

She yipped at me before sitting down as the door behind her closed.

“Secret door in my classroom? Hmm.” He said before humming out loud, stroking his chin as if he had a beard. “Bah, thoughts for another time.” He said before finally standing up from his chair. “Come on, let’s head back to the library before anything else happens.” He said before gesturing for Oni to follow him as he exited the classroom. I stood up and followed him towards the Library, Sylph in tow. As we did I saw other students walking through the halls and giving us a wide berth. Mostly do to Oni being a Grimm and Sylph being a Staubgrimm.

Oni looked at the students curiously as we passed them by. Indigo frowned, not happy to see students avoiding Oni as if their lives depended on it. Sylph seemed to notice this before snorting a bit, stopping to scratch her ear before moving quickly forward. As soon as we were coming up to the hallway to the library Sylph already rounded the corner and a yelp came around there. It didn’t sound like Sylph as she seemed to have sat down staring at something.

“What was that?” Indigo asked.

“I don’t know.” I said I moved around the corner and saw who made the yelp. Skyler was on the ground staring at Sylph as Sylph stared back. “Found out what happened.”

“Y-y-you see the white Grimm in front of me!?! W-why are you just standing there!?!” She asked me scared as if Sylph is going to attack.

“What?” Indigo said in confusion. Oni tilted his head aswell in confusion. Skyler looked at him and at Oni, getting more freaked out. She tried to push back but Sylph puts a paw on her foot, as if to say ‘Stay’.

“Guess you never seen these two before huh?” I asked. When I saw Skyler shake her head I continued. “Well, this here is Sylph, an Winter Fox Dust Grimm and this is Oni, a Beowolf.” Sylph greeted her with a twitch of her ear and some frost coming out of her nose. Oni greeted with a happy bark and an excited pant.

“But… I thought…” Skyler said before Sylph walked around her and started to push her up. Soon Skyler was standing and Sylph made a high tone sound before scratching her ear again.

“You thought what?” Indigo asked, curious to know. Skyler look at him and looked over at Oni.

“I thought all Grimm were dangerous creatures…” She explained. Sylph seemed to be annoyed by this as she snorted more frost at her, making her jump. “Hey! That’s cold!” Oni chuckled at the sight, finding that display funny.

“What brings you here?” Indigo asked once again.

“Uhh, I was here to see what kind of training this place teaches.” she said as she glanced over at Sylph. I walked over and started scratching her neck. I found the spot that makes her mush as she laid down with a happy look on her.

“So… you want to ask those questions?” I asked her. She looked over at me and nodded.

“Well yeah.” she said with a huge grin on her face. “I wanted to become a Huntress and be the first Faunus to join the Wonderbolts!”

“Hmm, maybe you’ll be interested in learning a thing or two in my next class.” Indigo offered to the primatic haired faunus. Her eyes lit up from this as she seemed to get excited.

“That would be awesome!” she said happily. Indigo chuckled at her childlike excitement. “When’s your next class?!?”

“Soon, I’m currently on break.” Indigo answered. Skyler slumped a bit at this.

“Aww, guess I have to wait.” she said before looking at Sylph. “Is...she going to be there?”

“I don’t know, maybe.” I said with a shrug. “I don’t really keep her anywhere, Sylph her simply wanders around the school happily.”

“And… you’re okay with that?” Skyler asked.

“Yeah, why shouldn’t I be?” I asked her after answering the question.

“Same with Oni but he likes to wander around the forest more.” Indigo said, petting Oni as he did. Indigo then pulled out his scroll and checked the time before looking at me and saying. “Anyway I should get going, I promised Blake I’d take her out for lunch today.” He said before gaining a look from Oni. “Just lunch.” He said, putting emphasis in his words as he did. Oni rolled his eyes before heading off deeper into the library. As this happened Indigo headed off to find Blake, leaving me with Skyler.

“He’s… kinda odd.” She said while looking at Indigo with a questioning look.

“I don’t think so, Indigo is just… Indigo.” I told her with a shrug. Skyler looked at me funny before we heard a loud scream coming from the library. “What’s with everyone screaming today?”

Skyler didn’t say anything as we headed towards the scream. We soon found out that Twilight was the one that screamed as she was standing on the table with Oni staring at her. The Unicorn mare saw us as she holds a chair in hopes of defending herself.

“D-Don’t just stand there! There’s a Grimm!” she yelled. Oni gave her a blank stare, having been verbally degraded to a simple Grimm. I walked over and petted him a bit.

“They’re not like those from Beacon, they are just scared of the outer look of you. Give it time and they’ll see your sweeter side.” I whispered to Oni. Oni whined at the mention of Beacon, his ears fell flat atop his head. “Sorry, forgot you’re still a little sad about that. Maybe you can go find Weiss?” I asked, trying to brighten Oni’s mood a bit. He nodded albeit slowly before turning around and heading off in search of elusive Schnee.

“But...what… how?” the unicorn mare questioned as she was standing on the table with the chair. I gave her an annoyed frown.

“Not all Grimm are mindless and evil. Now get down from there, you’re making the table dirty.” I told her as I crossed my arms. Twilight slowly got off the table, glancing at Oni’s direction every few seconds or so. I also see the stack of books on said table which I guessed were the same books that Iilah was fussing over. “So you and Skyler are here, who else are around?”

“Just us really.” Skyler answered as she sat down in a chair. She looks around to see if there’s anyone around. “So… is that Nightmare kid still around?”

“Iilah.” I corrected her. “Her name is Iilah and yes, she’s still around and she was a little peeved that you took those book without asking.” I said glancing over to Twilight with a frown.

“She got mad that I took some books?” she asked me, tilting her head a bit.

“She spent a long time sorting through those books so she got a upset someone moved them.” I told her. She frowned at me before speaking.

“I don’t see why this has to be a big issue.” she crossed her arms at me. “More so, she’s Nightmare Moon, an entity that tried to bring endless night to all of Equestria!”

“Right… and you’re scared of a five year old girl with a temper issue?” I asked, arching a brow. The two of them looked at each other before I continued. “Look, I don’t know what happened that gave her all this hate from you all and so on but right now you all should stop. Right now she hasn’t done anything wrong and if things turn sour the staff here can handle it. Got it?”

“But-” Twilight started before I cut her off.

“Got it?” I asked again, a bit more forceful. The two of them stared at me for a few minutes before they nodded. I leaned back and sighed. “Good, now I better be going. Come on Sylph.” the Staubgrimm in question walked past the other two, earning a yelp from Twilight as I made my way out of the library. As I did I let out a shaky sigh as I looked down at the ground. I didn’t want to be rude to those two but I didn’t think anything else would work otherwise. Sylph looked up at me quizilla as she nuzzled me, smiling I petted her head.

“Thanks.” I told her. She made a happle yip before the two of us headed out. We headed outside of the school and walked around before I started to hear someone’s voice.

“Oh who’s a good boy, you are! Yes you are!” the voice sounded like Weiss and, after peeking behind a tree I saw the two of them as Weiss was being all… lovey mushy with Oni. He seemed to enjoy is as he was wagging his tail. I snickered at this which drew Oni’s attention, making Weiss turn and blush at us. She stood up and cleared her throat. “You uhh… didn’t hear anything… did you?”

“Nope~.” I said with an eat shit grin. She frowned towards me and looked the other way.

“Well, anyway… what do you want?” she asked me. I chuckled as I shook my head as an idea came to mind.

“Yeah, I saw you and Tak together at the dance. I just wondered what’s up with that?” I put my hands up as she looked at me. “I’m just wondering, you can tell me nothing.” Weiss blushed a bit, having been reminded if the dance. I raised a brow at this expression. “Oh? What’s with a blush?”

“He-He asked me to the dance and… I said yes.” She said, though I knew this wasn’t the full answer but it was an answer nonetheless. I stared at her for some time as she blushed.

“Alright, have it your way.” I said as I smiled. “I believe I should be going.” With that I walked past her and petted Oni with Sylph behind me.

“Wait!” Weiss suddenly yelled. I looked back at her in time to see her walk up to me. “Tak and I both asked one another, that’s how it happened.” She admitted with yet another blush.

“Right, but I have a feeling that there’s something more than simply that.” I frowned as I thought about it. “Or I’m looking way too into it.” She looked at me oddly when I said this.

“What?” She asked with honest confusion. Seconds later she shook her head a bit before saying. “Nevermind, I-I’ll see you later.” She said, walking off in a hurry. I stared at her as I looked down at the two Grimm near me.

“I was looking way too into it wasn’t I?” I asked them. Sylph simply snorted frost out of her nose as Oni looked up at me with a bemused look, he let out a low nonthreatening growl. “Right.” I pulled up my Scroll to check the time. “Ah! I’m going to be late for Indigo’s next class!”

With that, I ran off towards his classroom. I got there with a few minutes to spare, just to see Indigo looking at me with Oni and Sylph there before me. “Oh… come… on… that’s cheating.”

“Hmm, close call.” Indigo said, noting the timing of my arrival. “Take your seat, Viri and wait for the rest.” He said, motioning towards the row of empty seats. I took some breaths before walking down to the seats. As I did I saw a blur of colours zoomed through the doorway and stopped over me.

“Ha! Made it on time!” Skyler said proudly before looking at Indigo. “And don’t you say I was late teach, I’m never late.”

“Fine by me.” Indigo said with a shrug. He then motioned towards the empty seats and said. “Take a seat.” He said as more students entered. Once everyone took their seats, Indigo stood up from his chair and leaned onto his desk. “Let me begin this session by saying that each and every one of you have shown potential throughout the past months, I was impressed by you all with the courage and bravery you’ve all displayed during the Grimm attack. But a Huntsmen doesn’t always face off against the Grimm, at the time you’ll face one of your own or worse.” He said, speaking loud enough for everyone to hear. “So today we’ll be having a sparring matches out in the field, so go change into your battle attire and get your weapons, we will meet outside in ten minutes.” He said. Students hurried their way out the door, excited to not have to sit in one of Indigo’s lectures.

“You guys really going to go spar against each other? I thought Huntsman fight Grimm?” Skyler asked. I turned to her and frowned.

“Where did you hear that?” I asked her.

“One Huntsman from Canterlot.” she answered with a straight face. Oh boy, this is going to go well with Indigo.

“I have a feeling that Huntsman here are a bit different then I thought.” I muttered to myself as I felt a metal arm wrap around my neck.

“Hey Viri, how’s it going?” Yang asked me with a smile.

“I’m alright, you?” I asked.

“Oh you know, same old same ol- hey, who’s your friend?” Yang asked as she looked at Skyler. I moved her arm off me before I spoke.

“Yang, this is Skyler, Skyler this is Yang.” I introduce them.

“Whoa~, is that a metal arm?!” she asked as she stared at her prosthetic.

“Yeah, feels like the real thing but shinier.” Yang said with a grin. I chuckled as I saw the rest of Team RWBY talking to other Faunus as we made our way outside. Once outside I saw Skyler was flying overhead as she watched.

I found Indigo waiting by the large clearing, sitting on a foldable chair he no doubt brought with him. Next to him was Oni, holding up a bucket with his mouth. Indigo saw us and motioned towards the bucket.

“Form a line and pick a name from the bucket.” Indigo said. Oni wagged his tail as everyone formed up. As the others picked out a name and walked away, making the way for me to do the same. I reached in and picked a name and pulled it out, walking a little away to see what I got.

When I looked to see the name on the scrap of paper, I wasn’t much surprised to find Indigo’s name though it did made me question why he would put his own name. I simply shrugged, my thoughts giving the simple answer of live demonstrations.

“Alright, now that everyone has their scraps, read their names and face your opponent.” As soon as he said, many of the students faced others while I stayed facing Indigo. Indigo’s brow raised questioningly before saying. “Now this’ll be a tournament style session, you win against your current opponent you’ll move onto the next, loser is disqualified and may leave the class for the duration of the day.” He said before pointing at a random duo. “You two, you're up first.” The two students nodded and headed towards the center of the field while Indigo walked up to me. “I’m guessing you got mine.” He said.

“Yeah, I have a to ask why?” I asked him. He shrugged as he looked at the two in the center of the field.

“Don’t know really, though I’ll mention this now, you’ll move up even if you lose against me. It’d be unfair otherwise.” He said. No matter how many times I attend his class, I’m always surprised with how he acts during his lessons. Sometimes lenient, other times strict.

Not saying anything the sparring match between the first two ended with a Faunus with a spear won. He helped his opponent up before the two of them walked out of the area.

“You two!” Indigo yelled, at another duo before motioning towards the field. I watched as they walked before hearing Indigo say. “Did anything happen after I left the library?” Indigo asked before signaling the start of the fight.

“Not really… I found Twilight freaking out when she saw Oni.” I told him as I watched. “Had some choice words with her about things and left. After that I talked to… Skyler and it seemed Huntsmen here are a bit different than the ones at Beacon.” Indigo hummed, looking off towards Oni before sighing.

“It’s hard not to miss Beacon Academy, it was our home for the longest time. The other professors were like family to me and Oni.” Indigo said with a solemn tone. My ears flattened on top of my head as the sounds of the sparring match was still going.

“Sorry…” I said to him. I understood what he meant that the other professors were like family to him and Oni.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.” Indigo said just as the second match concluded. The victor was the female wolf faunus with a retractable staff. Indigo looked at another duo, signaling them to move up for their fight.

“What about the three professors here? What are your thoughts about them?” I asked Indigo as the match started. Indigo shrugged his only shoulder.

“They’re good people I suppose, going out of their way to help this school but I don’t know much else about them, to be honest.” He said, somewhat answering my question. I simply nodded as I petted Oni with a small smile on my face. Soon the third match was finished, the winner was a female ram Faunus with a hammer. As the two of them left the next pair was a male lizard Faunus with some daggers facing against Yang. “I think I see a clear winner here.” Indigo said jokingly at the sight of Yang walking up to the center of the field. I rolled my eyes as I glanced up to Skyler, who has the biggest smile on her face as this must’ve been the coolest thing she has ever seen. I waited until the fight was over, which lasted a little longer then I thought but the outcome was the same with Yang winning the fight. I noticed that her hand, her normal on, was shaking and she closed her eyes and sighed before walking off.

This went on for quite a while, after each match another two would fight. Most of the matches lasted longer than anyone would’ve liked, it was a surprise to everyone when Ruby had won the match within the first minute and during Blake’s match with a much larger faunus, they’ve better against her with the mindset that brawn is better than brains, so it came to no surprise for me and Indigo that Blake won with strategic strikes and quick reflexes. I did, however, pay close attention to the Tak’s match against Weiss. Both of them were equally matched in skill and speed, Indigo had to call it a draw and gave them the choice to move up or simply sit the rest out. Both of them chose the latter, extremely exhausted.

I was in deep thought, having let my mind wander a bit amidst the rest of the matches until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to the owner of the hand and saw that it was Indigo.

“We’re up.” He said, removing his hand from my shoulder before walking towards the center of the field, gaining confused murmurs from the rest of the students with the exception of Ruby, Blake, Yang and Weiss while Tak sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

I took a deep breath before moving on towards the area. As I did I heard some muttering from the other students.

“What’s going on? Is Viri in trouble?”

“Viri going to spar against Professor Indigo? Who do you think will win?”

“Don’t know, this is the first time I saw the two of them fight.”

This went on until I stood across from Indigo. I held Molten Coil close to me, ready for the fight. I nodded, signaling him that I was ready.

With a nod of his own, he began to absorb the shadows around him to once again form his shadowy arm. This gained surprised gasps from the other students. Indigo soon got into his fighting stance, signaling me that he was ready as well. We both looked at one another with narrow gazes, Indigo taking his time to calling the match to start

“Now!” Once those words left his mouth, we both charged at one another. As we came close I pulled back and thrust downwards towards his legs. Indigo was just quick enough to dodge this by a few inches. As a counter to my failed attack, he summoned his large scythe before swinging it around in a whirlwind of slashes with a speed that could rival Ruby’s. I pulled Moltens trigger shot a shell, moving me away from Indigo. Shifting a bit I saw that Indigo held his scythe with his shadowy hand.

I kinda missed his tonfas but I decided to use the one issue with using a big scythe like that; time to get in close! Bolting forward towards Indigo, twisting Molten Coil around and shoot a few round to propel me forward. Indigo saw this and stood up straight, leaving me to wonder why but before I could even think of anything else, I was sent skyrocketing up into the air. The cause of this was a familiar giant shadow fist.

“OH COME ON!!! I yelled as I went up into the sky. Soon as I went up I slowed down before going back down. Taking Molten Coil with both hands I felt the flames curled around me I became a flaming… me and rocketed downwards towards the ground. I saw that pain in the ass giant shadow hand right before I collided with it. A loud explosion and flames burst around me before I stumbled out of the newly created hole in the area. I didn’t see the giant shadow hand and I looked at Yang. “I defeated the hand!” I yelled triumphantly right before I fell over onto the ground.

“Exhausted already?” Indigo asked, loud enough for me to hear.

“I’m fine!…” I said as I pushed myself up. The fall gave me flashbacks from the time I did my trial in Beacon. I picked up Molten Coil before turning to Indigo. “I’m ready when you are.” Before he could say something there was a loud voice from the crowd.

“Hold it!” the voice yelled. We all turned and saw Twilight standing there with her hands on her hips. Everyone else looked at each other in confusion as Indigo groans.

“What is it you want?” Indigo asked in annoyance. The unicorn marched over towards the two of us, looking angry.

“I know we’re in the Everfree Forest and there aren’t any real rules here but-”

“Come on Twi, it was just getting good!” Skyler said annoyed as she floated overhead.

“This is serious! Professor Indigo just showed a display of Dark magic! A school of Magic that’s illegal in Equestria.” she turned towards Indigo. “That also means here as well.”

I looked at the two of them back and forth as they stared at each other. Twilight doesn’t really sound like she’s being malicious towards Indi, more like following a rule she learns so long ago. Indigo looked at the purple mare curiously before glancing at me, to which I simply gave him a shrug.

“Dark magic?” He asked curiously before planting his scythe onto the dirt and crossing his arms. Twilight looked at him as if he lost his mind, though I kinda thought he did, regained it and lost it again in an everlasting loop.

“Dark magic, evil powers of shadow and death. Able to raise the dead, control others, bend or break the wills of others, and,” she gestured Indigo’s scythe and shadow arm. “Shadow magic.” Indigo blinked at this, having been told that his semblance was a series some form of evil magic spells.

“And what makes you think this…” He said, holding up his shadowy hand. “And this…” He said, gripping the scythe before saying. “Is some sort of bad hocus pocus magic trick?” He asked finally, arching a brow as he leaned onto his scythe.

“It is!” Twilight proclaimed, stomping her foot (Yes I said foot) onto the ground. “What else could it be other than Dark magic?!”

“My semblance.” Indigo answered plainly, a look of bemusement donning his face. I also saw a look of confusion on Twilight’s face.

“Semblance? What’s a semblance?” she asked. This took me aback a bit as the idea that this world doesn’t know what a semblance is. Before anyone could say anything a voice that was oddly familiar to me spoke out.

“Now now this isn’t a good place to start yelling about the fundamentals.” the voice said. Everyone turned to see a man walking over towards us. He wore a dark green coat and gray vest with dark green pants. He wore a large hat on and holds a staff in his right hand. From the hand I saw there was darker green scales on it, meaning he was a Faunus or a Lizardman. “But to clear things up what the both of you are saying and thinking both look the same, but really are completely different.”

I looked at Indigo as Team RWBY came closer as Indigo stared at the man, his eyes narrowed. Twilight crossed her arms at the man.

“Oh really, what makes you so knowledgeable about this then?” she asked, arching a brow. The man removed his hat and my jaw hit the ground, along with Team RWBY. The man looks a lot like a younger Ozpin.

“I’ve been all over the place, seeing different cultures and people that hold wonders.” the man said before looking around at everyone before looking at us. He gave us a wink before speaking. “I believe a break is in order so we don’t hold everyone up with us bickering, don’t you say Professor?” he asked Indigo, who blinked a few times as he realized he was being talked to. With a sigh and a nod he turned to students and said.

“Class dismissed.” He said to the class, earning a few moans of disappointment before they all left. Indigo rubbed his eyes with his normal hand as the one made of shadows dissipated along with the scythe. As this happened Skyler floated down a little upset that the sparring stopped.

“Now this maybe a long talk, is there anywhere we could talk?” the man asked Twilight.

“Oh… umm…” Twilight fumbled for the answer as she was taken a bit off guard with how everything changed in less than a few minutes. “There’s the library…”

“Perfect, we can talk there. You two go on ahead as I need to say a few words to the others.” he said as he gestured to us. With a suspicious nod both Skyler and her head off to the school, Skyler complaining along the way. The man turned towards us as we all stared at him. It was until Indigo talked that broke the silence.

“I’m beginning to wonder if death means anything anymore.” Indigo said, breaking the silence. The man simply chuckled at him.

“For beings like me, and as it seems you as well, death is just another bump in the road.” the man said.

“It felt more like a tidal wave of loss and confusion to me.” He said, thinking back at his time in the ruins of Beacon Academy. “And painful, very painful.” Indigo quickly added before shaking his head.

“Umm, what’s going on?” Yang asked what the rest of us were thinking. The man looked over and smiled.

“I believe you all met me before, at Beacon.” the man said as he tilted his head. “A one Headmaster Ozpin.”

“WHAT!?!” Was what Team RWBY all yelled, making me jump from how loud it is. They all started to bombard him with questions before they all stop when he puts up a hand.

“How about we deal with the current problem first, then we can get to why or how I came here.” Ozpin said before looking at Indigo. “Also, is there any coffee here? I haven’t had a cup for, oh a really long time.”

Author's Notes:

Oh? the Ponies don’t know what a semblance is? Interesting. Also Ozpin as a Faunus... I think it’s cool.
