Third Person POV
???: They were here...Ozpin they were here!
A man yelled at Ozpin as the man slammed his hand onto the desk.
Goodwitch: We are very much aware of that. Thank you James.
Ironwood: Fantastic. You're aware. Now are we going to do something about it or should we just stay the course and continue to ignore what's right in front of us?
He said as they hear a beep.
Ozpin: Come in.
He said as he stood up to see Y/N walk into the room.
Goodwitch: What is he doing here? He's supposed to be in class.
She said to Ozpin as Y/N looked at him.
Y/N: Port is nothing but talk. I don't need lectures from a man that only wants to fantasize about himself.
He said as he looked at them.
Goodwitch glares at him as Ozpin looks at him.
Ozpin: How are you feeling Y/N?
He asked him.
Y/N: I'm doing fine. Feels good about getting rid of another traitor.
He said coldly.
Ironwood: Traitor?
Ozpin: Mr L/N here was an ally of Salem.
He told him.
Ironwood: What!?
He looked at him in shock.
Ironwood: Y-Y-You?
Y/N nods as he looks at him.
Goodwitch: Why is he here?
She asked him.
Ozpin: Becuse Mr L/N is here to tell us what is our enemy's goal.
He said as he looks at him.
Ironwood: What does she plan on doing?
He asked him.
Y/N: Simple. Kill Ozpin.
He said to them.
Ironwood: How?
Y/N: The Fall of Beacon.
Ironwood: How does she plan on doing that?
Y/N: The tournament.
Goodwitch: The Vytal tournament?
Y/N: Correct.
Ironwood: How do we know we can trust you.
He said as he watches Y/N.
Y/N: No need to worry about a backstabber.
He told him.
Goodwitch: Prove it to us. Prove it that you won't betray us.
She glares at him.
Y/N: Tell that to the three dead henchmen of Salem.
He said to them.
Goodwitch/Ironwood: What?
Y/N: I've already killed three henchmen. I just need to kill 4 more.
He told them.
Ozpin: Who?
Goodwitch: Ozpin? Are you seriously going to go through this?
Ozpin: I will not allow her to destroy this school Glynda.
He said to her as he looks at him.
Y/N: Emerald Sustrai. Mercury Black. Roma Torchwick. Adam Taurus.
Goodwitch: Wait! Your'e planning on killing two students!?
She yells to him.
Y/N: Unless you want innocent people to die.
He said coldly at her.
Goodwitch: We just could arrest them.
Y/N: And wait til they get out again and start killing again? Naive.
He said coldly.
Goodwitch: Killing does not make you any better than they are.
Y/N: You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty.
A/N: Reference?
Ozpin: Thank you Y/N. That is all.
Y/N nods and turns around to walk out but feels a hand on his shoulder.
Y/N slowly turned his head to see Ironwood looking at him.
Ironwood: Thank you.
Y/N nods and walks out of the room into an elevator.
Y/N's POV
"Hmm. Mercury and Emerald are here."
I said to myself as I slowly pulled out a scroll that was on Cinder.
I went through it and found something.
The notes of the plan.
"Hmm. Install Virus. Destroyed."
"Roman sets up trap at Mount Glenn."
"Hmm. Looks like she didn't update."
I said to myself as the doors opened.
"Looks like I have an opportunity to get rid of another target."
I said to myself as I walked out to the gates of Beacon.
Third Person POV
Y/N walked to the docks to see that there was nothing but a large cliff. Y/n smirks and jumps off as his semblance slowly flared around him.
Y/N: Wow. This actually flies.
He said as he flew to Mount Glenn.
Y/N: Get Ready Roma. Because I'm coming for you as well.
To Salem
Salem was sitting in her chair as she looked at a photo. A photo of Y/N and her in a garden.
Salem: I'm so sorry.
She said, devoid of emotion.
Salem holds onto her stomach as she feels the cut slowly recovering.
Salem: And now he's here.
She said as she remembered him.
Flashback
SHANK
Salem: Gah!
She gasped as Vergil held her by the throat.
Vergil: Foolishness Salem. Foolishness. Might controls everything....and without strength, you cannot protect anything; let alone yourself.
Salem gasped as she tries to get out of Vergil's hold. Salem formed a ball of magic in hand but saw something shocking in front of her.
Vergil: Whatever you've done, You've undone them yourself.
He said before kicking her through a wall.
SLASH
Vergil slashed a portal open before walking to it but stops.
Vergil: Thank you Salem.
He said before walking through.
Leaving the broken Salem there on the ground.
In misery.
Flashback Ends
Time-skip
To Ruby
Ruby: Hey guys! Have you all seen Y/N? He wasn't in class today.
She said to her friends.
Blake: Nope. I haven't seen him all day today.
Weiss: Hmm. Where could have he gone to?
Goodwitch: Quiet. Quiet please. Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin.
She said before walking off the stage.
Ozpin: Today we stand together, united. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four kingdoms of Remnant. On this day nearly eighty 80 years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom. But about the very idea of individualism itself. We've fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self expression. And as you all are well aware that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself. Color. It was their way of demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression but neither would the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity. Through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today while the rest of the world celebrates peace, huntsmen and huntresses will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional huntsmen or huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the kingdom for several days. Others may work within for the rest of the week. But no matter which you choose, remember to be safe. Remember your training and remember to do your very best.
He said before walking off the stage.
Ruby: This is perfect. All we have to do is shadow a huntsman working in the southeast.
Yang: Yeah! We'll follow tem around by day and give them the slip at night.
Weiss: Let's check 'Search and Destroy'.
She said as no one answered her.
Ruby: Here we go. Quadrant five needs grimm cleared out.
Blake: Well, it's in the Southeast.
Yang: Sound perfect.
She said before Ruby clicks on the mission and inserts their name. To only see that it was unavailable.
Weiss: Wonderful.
Blake: Any other ideas?
Ruby: We mail ourselves there.
Ozpin: Well that's one option.
He said as he walks to them with a tablet in hand.
Ozpin: Unforuantely, we determined that the concentration of grimm was too extreme for first year students. It seems that particular region is rather popular. In fact I have the sneaking suspicion that the four of you will make your way there no matter which job you choose.
He said as he saw Ruby rubbing her neck.
Ruby: Whatever makes you say that?
Ozpin: I'm still curious as to how you all found each other at the docks last semester.
He said as he looks at them.
Ozpin: I'm interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the Southeast. And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported robots and rose petals in a dance club sometimes ago.
Ruby: Uh....Well...
Ozpin: I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for. So how about this, instead of waiting for you all to break the rules. Why don't we bend them?
He said before tapping on the pad.
The four girls looked to the screen before looking to Ozpin.
Ruby: We won't let you down. Thank you Professor.
Ozpin: Don't thank me. Teamwork and persistance have carried you far but you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the kingdom will not care. Stay close to your huntsmen at all times. And do exactly as he says. He will be leading you on this mission. And he can have you sent back to here if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory.
He said before walking away but stops.
Ozpin: Good luck.
He said to them before walking away.
To Vergil
Vergil was overlooking the cliff as he saw Y/N land near the city of Mount Glenn.
Vergil: Oh how grown up he has become.
He smiles as he feels a hand on his shoulder.
Alyssa: I'm sure you want to see him.
Vergil: I very much do.
Alyssa: I think I should go. You have to do something about that faunas.
Vergil: I sure do.
He smirks and walks away.
Alyssa: We will meet soon Y/N.
Alyssa: Very Soon.
