Where we last left off. Omega was ready to fight His Aunt.

Revan: WAIT! Stand down

Bandit one: But..

Revan: No buts. (takes off her mask) Omega

Omega: aunt Revan

Bandit 2: Wait. you two know each other.

Revan: I'm His bleeding aunt you Son of a Bi-

Omega: Explain NOW

Omega aimed Joy at Revan. He was not happy about what was going on.

Revan: Well now. This is. Awkward. Fine. Well meet up in my Camp and I will explain everything  to you.

Omega: Good.

(with Xero and Askad)

Oscar Pine is seen sitting on a red armchair, nervously looking at the members of Qrows group.

Nora: Did he age backwards?


Jaune: He's possessed!


Ren: Or reincarnated!


Xero: I am with Ren here.

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.


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 Qrows, while Jaune and Ren remain standing. Oscar then shares a brief look with Ruby, who giggles, causing Oscar to blush.


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 met a person 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 Qrows Group

 look at him in confusion. Oscar then lowers his head and closes his eyes. Suddenly, a green and white aura shines from his body for a moment, Oscar opens up his eyes, which are now glowing, 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.


Xero: Good to see ya My favorite Professor.

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. (as he continues to speak, Qrow gets up and goes back to the kitchen to get something) I told you once 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?


Askad: Simple. A man. Cursed From higher beings. One with all power. Casted aside as a play thing for a higher purpose. What he is. He's Countless people Trying to live and fight a war where he can't win. Every time he has the pieces in play. they always fall out of place

Ozpin: Askad is right.  I am the combination of countless men who've spent their lives trying to protect the people of Remnant. (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 Gods, because I failed to stop Salem 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.


(with Omega)

Omega was in the camp. His mask was off and Joy stilling have those flashettes rounds. He was having tea.

Vernal: You know... I never though Revan Would have a nephew. Let alone a family.

Omega: Harm them and not even My aunt will save you.

Revan: Please both of you stop.

(with Xero and Askad)

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.


Askad: Why is that Qrow.

Qrow: It won't be easy.

Xero: Doing what we are doing is. If we allow Oz to talk Scene

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--


Askad: DON'T!

Ozpin: Well now

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.


Askad: Better then us

Xero: Askad. There is no one better then A 1/4 maiden, A robot with a soul, two swordsmen, A sniper, A Demo, A pro huntsmen, Ozpin and a healer who is my girlfriend.

Eve: Damn straight (hugs Xero)

Nora: Good luck with that.


Qrow groans


Ozpin: After that, we can move on to step two.


Nora: What's step two?


Suddenly, Ozpin has The Long Memory in his hand.


Ozpin: Getting you four into fighting shape.


Jaune, Ren, Nora and Ruby: What

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 Even with Omega's help 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. And 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 Qrows out looking for Huntsmen, then who's going to teach us?



Ozpin: Well, I believe I was the Headmaster of Beacon Academy.


Xero: Damn Fucking Straight.

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.


Xero: You'll get use to it. even if The reincarnations are different.

(with Omega)

Omega Get's ready to sleep He checks his scroll screen saver. His team. He Smiles and Gose back to bed.
