Italics = flashback

Hadrian Goodwitch's POV:

My eyes flutter open and I stare up at the wooden ceiling. I had just dreamed about that day 10 years ago again, back when the evil wizards led by a traitorous bastard who happened to be my brother tried to take my home from me.

I let out a sharp breath. Thankfully, that dream has become less and less common after each year, but my legs have always been a little shaky since. I look to my left and smile at the sight of Yang, sleeping soundlessly. Smiling at the sight, I roll over and plant a kiss on her forehead. Yang's eyes slowly flutter open and she gives me a sleepy smile. "Morning, Hadrian." She whispers.

I smile back. "Morning, honey." We both roll out of bed and head downstairs, stretching and yawning all the way.

Along the way, memories of the last 10 years flew through my mind. The best 10 years of my life. After that fiasco with the wizards, we returned to a re-established Beacon Academy. The wizards took a portal, courtesy of Dad, and returned to their home. I have heard that their world has improved drastically in so many ways thanks to the majority of the 'purebloods' that pulled the strings at the British magical government being dead.

As for us Hunters, things have improved as well. Over our last 2 semesters at Beacon Academy, we honed our weapons, fighting styles and powers to all new levels. While that happened, me and Yang began officially dating and we loved the time spent together. Soon, all too soon, teams HTPT, RWBY, JNPR and JCNF graduated from Beacon Academy with top honors.

After graduation, we gave each other our numbers, promising to stay in contact with one another, and went our separate ways. We went in pairs through the various sections of the land of Remnant, taking on dangerous jobs and tracking down infamous criminals still out there. But compared to the fights we took on before our graduation, everything we did afterwards was a piece of cake.

As for me and Yang, we traveled southern Remnant as thrill seekers, taking on the most dangerous jobs possible.

After we dispatched a large Beowulf lair near a small town on Patch, we spent some extra time there to just relax. That's when I knew the time was right. On the top of a cliff overlooking the vast ocean at sunset, I did the most nerve-wracking thing I have ever done.

I proposed to Yang Xiao Long.

She was, and still is, happy with the chance of us being officially together. It took a lot of time to plan and prepare for our wedding, but it was so worth it in the end. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

I stood there, on the altar, in a fancy black suit that's a little stiff for my taste, but I'm OK with it. Before me, seated in many rows on my left, is my family and my friends. On the other side of the aisle, all of Yang's family and friends are seated. Everyone looks very happy, some of them are even crying a little. Soon, she appeared. I remember thinking how beautiful Yang is as she walked down the aisle. Then she stepped up onto the alter next to me and took both my hands while we faced each other. Finally, we went through with the vows. Then came the big moment.

"Do you, Hadrian Goodwitch, take Yang Xiao Long to be your wife?" the cleric asked.

"I do." I said without a moment's hesitation. The cleric then turned to Yang.

"Do you, Yang Xiao Long, take Hadrian Goodwitch to be your husband?" the cleric asked.

"I do." Yang said, just as confidently.

"You may kiss the bride." Me and Yang look at each other, hesitating a little. Then we went in closer until our lips make contact.

The cheers that rang out are louder and more welcoming than any of the cheers I have ever received during the fighting competitions.

After our marriage, we had a 2-story house built on Patch using the large amounts of money we have, thanks to us taking on dangerous missions. It is now our home.

We make it to the bottom of the staircase and went right, through our living room, and walk into the kitchen. I whip up some quick eggs and bacon for the day to come. Then a door at the far side of the hallway the staircase is on opened up and 2 7-year old kids came out, yawning. They walked over to us.

"Morning, Mom, Dad." Leo Xiao Long-Potter greeted us. He took a seat at the island next to his mom. His twin sister, Leia, took a seat at his right side. They both came into our lives after a year of marriage.

They both perfect blends of me and Yang. For instance, they both have dark blonde hair and my green eyes. They even have builds and semblances similar to me and Yang's. Leia is most likely going to specialize in ranged combat one day and her semblance is water manipulation, quite similar to how my own lightning semblance works. Leo, on the other hand, takes a more direct approach. He has the build of a brawler and always wears green bracelets on both wrists. Full-hand gauntlets will most likely be his weapon style one day. As for his semblance, it allows him to absorb energy by simply touching the thing he's taking the energy from. Using it on anything for too long can get quite hazardous. To top it all off, his eyes turn dark purple when he's absolutely seething about something.

Aside from that, they are both extremely nice and intelligent kids. I finished making breakfast and we began eating in silence. Once we finish, I take the plates and put them in the sink and get washing. "Why don't you all get cleaned up? Today's a big day, after all." I tell my family.

They agree and head off to get cleaned up. After I finish cleaning up, I join them.

An hour later, we are all outside our house, waiting. I have on my green shirt and black cargo pants, Yang has on a yellow shirt and black shorts, Leia has on a blue shirt and jeans while Leo has on a dark green tank top under a black vest and khaki shorts.

Finally, the Bullhead appeared and landed in front of us. The hatch opened and out stepped Ozpin himself. "How are you?" the grey-haired hunter greeted me and Yang.

"Doing great, sir." I tell him, then shake his hand before Yang follows suite.

"Well, let's head on. Can't keep everyone waiting." He said and walked back onto the ship, with us following him. Once we are onboard, the hatch closes behind us and the ship takes off.

Today, we are going to Beacon Academy to see what the possible new students have to offer. But this time, we will also be meeting our friends again and showing my kids what the Academy looks like. For them, I would do anything. It took another hour, but we finally came into view of the famous school.

Leo and Leia stared out the window at it, absolutely awestruck at the famous school. The ship touches down and the hatch opens up. The second we step off the ship, I see a sight that makes me crack a smile. All of my friends and former teammates are standing there, happy to see us again. Even the team who entered the school during my 2nd year are there.

"It's been too long. How's life?" Jake Brennen said, smiling a little.

We walk over to our friends and shake hands. "I'm good, Jake. You guys head on to the viewing rooms. I'll give Leo and Leia a quick tour." I tell them.

They agreed and began heading off. I walk off in a separate direction and briefly show the twins what their future school looks like. I showed them some of the classrooms, the mess hall, the auditorium and ball room. I even told them some of the stories about what happened where at this place. After the tour, we made our way to the viewing room.

Leo and Leia both look even more excited to come here than before. We entered the room that resembles a theater with many seats that are occupied by my friends, waiting on me. I got a seat next to Yang. "So are you 2 looking forward to coming here?" Ruby asked the twins.

"Oh, yes!" they said in unison, getting some chuckles.

The the screen came to life and zoomed in on the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest. "Let the games begin." Yang said.

I nod and take her hand.

At this moment, I am utterly at peace.

THE END

AN: Well, this is the end, sadly.

I am definitely going to be writing a mid-term story that explains what happened in the 10 year time skip, but when it will come out is still uncertain, probably a year or so since I have other things I want to do. That's when Jake and his team, Jackknife, make an appearance.

Anyway, thank you, everyone, for all the support you have given me in this story.

See you all next time in my next story that's coming soon, "Revenge of the Animals." Even if I'm just 'meh' on it. Forget it ever existed, please.

PS: I will be reworking every chapter of this story a lot so it reads smoother. Also, I'm not the romantic type of person, so don't expect to see much more of the stuff like the flashback in the future.

PPS: Official Announcement As of October 26th, 2017!

Hi everyone. I have spent much time contemplating how that mid-term story story would go, and I am truly sorry to say that I have officially cancelled it. I have way too much to do already, what with being on the verge of growing grey hair from my school work load and I have so many other fanfiction ideas that I want to work on that this became undermined. Oh well. Maybe I'll do it one day, but it's not looking likely.

Later!
