Oscar is seen sitting in a red armchair, nervously looking at the members of Team RNJR as they fawn over him.
Nora: Did he age backwards?
Jaune: He's possessed!
Ren: Or reincarnated!
Ruby: Oh! Isn't it weird?
Oscar: It is very weird, yes.
Qrow: Okay, okay. (he emerges from the kitchen holding a cup in his hand) Let's all just take a second and remember that this is very overwhelming for everyone.
Team RNJR all step back together and nervously chuckle.
Oscar: (to Qrow) Thanks.
Qrow then takes a seat on the couch next to Oscar. Ruby and Nora have taken a seat on the couch perpendicular to Qrow's, while Jaune, You, and Ren remain standing. Oscar then shares a brief look with Ruby, who giggles, causing Oscar to blush as you smile at this. Meanwhile. . .
You: (Thoughts) Must protecc cuteness!
Summer: (Thoughts to you) Ha, we both know he take her.
Oscar: Ah, sorry! (he briefly looks away) It's just I've never really met Huntsmen and Huntresses before.
Ruby: Well, uh. . . we've never really met a person from Remnant with two souls! So, first times all around.
Oscar smiles and chuckles at Ruby before he hears Qrow clear his throat.
Qrow: Not to break up the whole 'getting-to-know-you' game, but we need to have a talk. Mind showing us your little parlor trick, kid?
Oscar: (groans) Yeah, okay. Just so you know, I'll still be here.
The members of Team RNJR look at him and then to you in confusion.
You: Watch this. For him it is slightly different.
Oscar then lowers his head and closes his eyes. Suddenly, a green aura shines from his body for a moment, Oscar opens up his eyes, which are now glowing greenish-yellow, and he smiles. When he speaks, they all hear a familiar voice overlapping with a bunch of other voices, including Oscar's.
Ozpin: It is so very good to see you again, students.
All of Team RNJR share brief looks of confusion.
Jaune: Wait, what just happened?
Ren: Professor... Ozpin?
Ozpin: Correct. And though I may be the one speaking, Oscar is still present mentally. He's merely handed over the control, so to speak.
Oscar: (mentally) Just don't make us do anything embarassing...
Ozpin: I'm afraid this all must be very perplexing.
Nora: And alarming, and bizarre, and just really kind of hard to believe overall!
Ozpin: (chuckling) It's good to see you children still have your sense of humor. (he starts to frown) I know you've all been through tremendous hardship already. I'm sorry.
Ruby: I mean, it's not your fault.
Ozpin: It's all my fault. (you begin to stop him as he gives a barely noticeable nod as he continues to speak, Qrow gets up and goes back to the kitchen to get something) I once told you that I made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet, and I wasn't exaggerating. I'm... cursed. For thousands of years, I've walked the surface of Remnant, living, dying, and reincarnating in the body of a like-minded soul. The Professor Ozpin you all met was not my first form and clearly wasn't my last. It's... an extraordinarily strenuous process on everyone involved.
Jaune: So who... what... are you?
Ozpin: I am the combination of countless men who've spent their lives trying to protect the people of . (Qrow walks back into the room and hands him a cup of tea) With every rebirth, my soul is eventually merged with another and I am changed, but my memories stay with me. This curse was bestowed upon me by the because I failed to stop in the past. But we must stop her now.
Ruby: And how do we do that?
Ozpin: We start... by ensuring the safety of the Relic of Knowledge.
Nora: This is perfect! We were stuck at a dead end, but now, we can just take little cute boy Ozpin to Lionheart and have him set things straight!
Ozpin: Please don't call me that.
Qrow: We're not sure that's the best idea.
Nora pouts and groans and goes back to sit down next to Ruby and Ren.
Ren: But I thought the headmasters all took their orders from you.
Ozpin: That was the intention. Four lieutenants I can trust, especially during times of reincarnation. But Qrow told me about your meeting with Leonardo. (he gets up and walks towards a painting of Mistral) He isn't just behaving irrationally, he's disobeying specific instructions I had left him. Something's wrong. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't want to rule out any possibilities, either. No one outside of this room knows that I've paired with Oscar, and I think it may be best to keep it that way.
Qrow: Play things close to the chest until we get a better hand.
Ozpin: Precisely. Now, we have two steps ahead of us. (he turns around to face the rest of the group) The first is enlisting the aid of more Huntsmen.
Ren: But the Mistral council--
Qrow: Doesn't own every Huntsman in the Kingdom, and I've been here enough times to know where we can find some more.
Ozpin: So long as they're trustworthy.
Qrow: You can trust them to put up a good fight. I'll throw together a list tonight.
Qrow puts his foot on the table, but his Semblance causes one of the legs to break and spill his cup of tea.
Nora: Good luck with that.
Qrow groans as he cleans up his mess.
Ozpin: After that, we can move on to step two.
Nora: What's step two?
Suddenly, Ozpin has The Long Memory in hand.
Ozpin: Getting you four into fighting shape.
Team RNJR once again exchange looks of confusion.
Ruby: But, uh, we already know how to fight.
Ozpin: (points to Ruby) You can only fight so long as you have Crescent Rose, but you're still lacking in hand-to-hand combat.
Ruby: Well, uh, yeah.
Ozpin: (pointing to Jaune) Mr. Arc, I'm glad to hear you've improved, but sorry to say, you've yet to unlock your Semblance. All of you still have a-ways to go before you're ready to pose any real threat against Salem and her forces. Even though Oscar can give me temporary control, he'll need to strengthen his body and his Aura.
Oscar: (mentally) Wait, what?
Ozpin: He'll inherit my muscle memory in time, but practice will expedite the process.
Ruby: But if Qrow's out looking for Huntsmen, then who's going to teach us?
Ozpin then propels himself into the air with his cane, spinning counterclockwise into a barrel roll before landing onto the seat of the armchair, twirling his cane.
Ozpin: Well, I believe I was the headmaster of Beacon Academy.
All of Team RNJR have various looks on their faces.
You: But, what will I have to do?
Ozpin: You and Summer will also train up your combined aura and semblances. Along with you need to not be so tense all the time.
You: (thoughts) oh.
Ozpin: We have approximately one month before classes resume at Haven. If Salem were to plan an attack, it would make sense that it would occur prior to students' return. It's not much time, but it's better than nothing. (he stops twirling his cane) Just don't expect me to go easy on you.
Suddenly, he glows green and white again, switching control back to Oscar. He has a hard time keeping his balance on the armchair before falling backwards.
Oscar: (groans) You've gotta be kidding me.
Qrow and Team RNJR look on with various expressions again.
(A/N) Sorry for the slow updates, I have been having a tough time on how the battle at Haven will go. Also parts of the story will need to possibly be rewritten thanks to Volume 7.
