Chapter 0: Prologue

Standing in a white forest was a young man who was roughly twenty four years old. He had black hair with hazel eyes and stood around six feet, one inch tall. He wore an open silver and black checked shirt with a red t-shirt underneath with dark blue jeans. The shirt was rolled up to his elbows as he wore black finger-less gloves. However the outline of his gloves and red t-shirt were was a darker red line. Hanging on his waist was a simple straight single edged sword.

He was currently watching a black hair girl with red streaks in her hair cut down several Beowolves. She was using a giant red scythe and as she finished cutting the final Grimm she turned to the male figure watching her. "I told you I could cut them all down by myself!" Ruby proudly stated to the male figure. "You should have faith in your cousin y'know."

Unknown to Ruby however an Alpha Beowolf appeared behind her. Before she even knew of the Grimm's presence a blast of fire dust shoot past her and stabbed through the Alpha's head killing the Grimm instantly. "When did that!?" Ruby asked in shock.

Slowly the man started to walk towards Ruby. "It was a fun show to watch you. But some litl' squirts need to remember there is at least one Alpha in every pack of Beowolves." The man stated as he ruffled her hair.

"No fair Aodh." Ruby huffed at her cousin as she wanted the last kill.

"You're getting better but maybe next time Rubes." Aodh laughed as he seen Ruby's puffed out checks as she huffed.

"Thanks for helping me though. I can't wait to show uncle Qrow how much i've improved."

"Well you might have to wait a while before you would be able to see the old man. Don't forget he got called into a long mission. Even I don't know where my old man is. But I am supposed to meet up with him while on my mission so I'll tell him when i see him instead." Aodh informed Ruby as they both started to walk back to Ruby's home on the island if Patch.

"So you're not gonna be teaching at Beacon any more?" Ruby asked with a disappointed tone.

"I'll still be a teacher at Beacon Ruby... Just not the first semester." Aodh's answered allowed Ruby to sigh in relief.

"That's good. Otherwise Yang would be pissed."

"True, true. But come on i'm sure your old man is getting worried his litl' rubes is hurt being back home so late." Aodh then stated to tease Ruby as he leaned in towards her.

"Oh my Oum! You're right!" Ruby panicked as dashed off towards home as fast as she could leaving a trail of rose petals in her wake from her Semblance.

Aodh was slightly annoyed with Ruby's sudden vanishing. "She forgot that I can't keep up with her when she's at that speed again..." Aodh sighed as he started to walk towards Ruby's home. "Uncle Tai is gonna be so pissed when she starts rambling on about killing Grimm again."


(Xiao Long home)

After nearly an hour walking back to Ruby's home Aodh finally made it back before it was completely dark. Sitting out in the front porch was Taiyang Xiao Long. Aodh's uncle and Yang plus Ruby's father. "I can't believe you let her do that again."

"I know, I know. I messed up but in fairness she twisted my arm with that face she pulls. Besides I wanted to she how far she came far she came after the old man took her under his wing. I mean he didn't even teach me... And I'm his son!" Aodh tired his best to defend both his actions to allow Ruby to fight the Grimm and he actions to do so.

Taiyang stared at Aodh for a few moments before giving up. "You're as stubborn as Qrow though. Besides you were taught by you're mother Lucy and Professor Nikos-Church in Beacon. Both were really mean ladies in there hay day let me tell you... anyway how'd she do?"

"Honestly. I'm surprised she's still in Signal. When I was her age I was already in Beacon." Aodh stated as he sat down beside his uncle.

"Yes but your control over fire dust was key to that... I just never thought she could have it in her."

"The old Qrow seems to think so. I mean Yang was always gonna be a brawler like you and Ruby's well..."

"I know what you mean. She reminds me so much of Summer. When she was a child I found it almost heart breaking staring at her face." A small smile showed on Taiyang's face as he spoke. Aodh could tell on by the smile on his face that he was reliving a happy memory in his mind. However Taiyang's eyes displayed a deep sadness within them.

"I will find out what happened. I made that promise years ago and I still mean it to this day." Aodh softly spoke as he remembered his aunt Summer Rose.

Taiyang looked at Aodh who was staring at the broken moon shining in the night sky. "So you have a mission soon. Didn't think Ozpin would let you take one so close to the start of the new school term. Especially when you're replacing your old teacher as well. She wouldn't be happy knowing her replacement was going to miss the first day back y'know."

"Oh she already called me and roared down the scroll at me for that but when i told her the truth she understood. Cause this mission could means a lot to me. Plus my dad asked me to help him for a while... So I couldn't really say no could I?" Aodh chuckled as he answered his uncle.

"Just be safe. And when you get back could you make sure Yang doesn't make a fool out of herself. She has a habit of being explosive at times. Haha." Taiyang nervously laughed as he knew his eldest daughter was a bit of a hot head at times. After a few moments of silence Taiyang spoke up once more. "Are you going to see her before you go I guess?"

"Yeah... Tomorrow night." Softly Aodh answered.

"Just don't beat yourself up when you do, okay?" Taiyang placed his hand on Aodh's shoulders for support before he stood up. "You can stay here for the night if you want. Plenty of room."

"No thanks. I'll be leaving after the visit so the night before the new school terms starts so I want to see he for a while before then."

"I understand. Take care of your self Aodh. I'll see you soon." Taiyang smiled as he watched Aodh walk towards the harbor.


(The next night at Beacon)

Walking into the vault below Beacon academy Aodh Branwen could clearly hear his footsteps as he walked towards the life support unit that held his former partner.

Looking through it's glass front Aodh could see the scared face of Amber Autumn. After several moments of silence Aodh could hear another set of footsteps coming towards him. "Good evening Aodh. I didn't expect you to visit at this hour."

Aodh turned around to find Professor Ozpin standing behind him. "Sorry Professor Oz but I'm just gonna have a quick visit before i'm off on mission."

"Would you might if I joined you for a while?" Ozpin asked.

"No... I don't mind at all." Aodh responded as both men quietly stared at Amber's life support unit.

"She always seen me as a little brother..." Diru softly spoke. "During our time at Beacon she would always treat me like a little kid even though I was the team leader. But when she gained this power some turned away from her, fearing that power she gained. I was the only one who didn't. We were partners after all, It was the least I could do to help her... And I always liked having her fuss over me while I was here... Now, every time I come down here... Since my Dad showed me... I'd dream she'd wake up and start fussing over me like a big sister all over again. "

Ozpin remained silent as Aodh softly cried as he stared at Amber's comatose state. "Was her being here the reason you accepted the post I offered?"

"It was one of the reasons. was the chance to watch Yang beat the ever living snot out of some poor kid, haha." Aodh laughed as he wiped his tears away.

Aodh then decided to change the subject as his face took on a more serious look as he asked Ozpin. "Have you found any more information on that bastard Adam?"

"Unfortunately no... It appears the leader of the White Fang is incredibly difficult to track down. However I've recently accepted a former member of the White Fang into this year's batch of first year students. However she's how you would say. Reluctant in remembering her time in the White Fang."

"So she wants to forget her past then. I can't blame her but she'll be stupid to think she could hide that fact for the rest of her life. Let alone the next four years."

"Indeed but I hope her teammates could pull her from her shell." As Ozpin finished he found his scroll vibrating. He pulled it out of his pocket to find Glynda was calling him. "Hello Glynda, what happens to be the issue." Ozpin calmly spoke. He knew if Glynda called him that either something major had happened or she had a run in with someone who would catch his attention.

"Are you busy at the moment?"

"No I'm free. In fact I was just about to give young Aodh here some time alone with Amber."

"Wait Aodh's there!? He would need to come with you as well." Glynda stated to Ozpin.

"And why would that be?"


(Vale Police)

Ozpin and Aodh were currently viewing inside the interrogation room at the Vale police department. Inside Ruby was currently being destroyed by Glynda Goodwitch. Ozpin watched a reply of how's Ruby's encounter with Roman Torchwich went. "Young Ruby's skills are very much like your father's... Silver eyes huh..." Ozpin spoke his thoughts out loud.

Mean while Aodh was contacting his uncle Taiyang.

"Aodh I just got a call about Ruby is she fine is she safe?" Taiyang nervously asked as he spoke to Aodh.

"Relax Uncle Tai she's perfectly fine. In fact I'd say she doing quite well for herself."

"I'm on my way to Vale now. She's in so much trouble when I get there."

"Something tells me you won't be too hard on her. She might just have some good news for you." Aodh smiled on the phone as he seen Ozpin deep in thought.

"What do you mean by that Aodh?"

"I'll let her tell you. Catch you later Tai."

"Wait Aodh!" Taiyang shouted down the scroll as Aodh disconnected the call and looked towards Ozpin once more.

"If she wants to attend Beacon... I will allow her to do so." Ozpin informed Aodh.

"That's close to being the understatement of the year." Aodh laughed before he looked at Ruby through the one way mirror.

"Y'know i'm mad at her for putting herself in danger like that but seeing her put down these goons in such fashion and keeping up with Glynda... I can't stop smiling at the litl' runt." Aodh's smile grew wider as he continue'd to watch Ruby though the one way mirror.

Noticing the smile on Aodh's face Ozpin walked towards the door but soon stopped and turned to face Aodh. "What would be the best way to calm Miss Rose down? Something to make her feel more at ease?"

"A huge plate of cookies would be a start. And don't lie to her. She's quick on picking up if something's not right." Aodh responded as he watched Glynda slam her riding crop onto the table in front of Ruby. This caused the red hooded girl to jump backwards in her chair with a squeal.

After a few moments Aodh watched Ozpin enter the room with as Aodh suggested a plate full of cookies. It took a few moments of caution from Ruby before she quickly ravaged the innocent plate of cookies. Aodh continue'd to watch the exchange between Ruby and Ozpin, he nearly chocked on his drink when Ruby talked about his old man with a face full of cookies.

While trying to catch his breath back he found it difficult as he watched Ruby's karate antics showing off the skills she were taught from Qrow. He then smiled once Ruby mentioned Aodh's influence as well in helping her and Yang.

Eventually Ozpin asked Ruby to join Beacon and with out a second's hesitation she accepted his offer. Aodh was about to leave when he heard Ozpin say to Ruby someone was looking to meet her. Aodh looked at Ozpin confused as Taiyang was yet to arrive to collect Ruby but soon realized Ozpin was talking about him.

Slowly Aodh entered the interrogation room and Ruby's face lit up brightly with excitement. "Aodh!"

However she wasn't expecting what Aodh was about to do next. "YOU DUMBASS!" Aodh shouted as he punched the top of Ruby's head. The impact his his fist sent a shiver down Ruby's back. A small lump then appeared on Ruby's head.

"What was that for!?" A teary eyed Ruby shouted back at her cousin.

"That pipsqueak was for putting your life in danger for what you done tonight and this..." Ruby was expecting another punch to the head so she quickly closed her eyes. Instead she got a warm hug from Aodh and her older cousin ruffling her hair soon afterwards. "That's for getting into Beacon. Congrats kiddo!"

"Thanks Aodh. I can't wait to tell Yang! But speaking of Yang she might be a bit busy at the moment."

"Why would she be busy?" Aodh asked with a confused look on his face. Then then seen Ruby avoid eye contact she was didn't want Driu to know what Yang was up to. "What did she do Ruby?"

"Well it's kind of a funny story really hehe..." Ruby then told Aodh of her encounter with Yang before she arrived in the Dust till Dawn Dust shop.

"SHE DID WHAT!" Aodh shouted in shock over hearing where Yang was and the damage she caused.

"Told you it was a funny story hehe." Ruby nervously laughed. After a few moments Aodh handed Ruby a set of keys.

"I'm guessing Yang is staying in the hotel the school provides to students from outside Vale before going to Beacon?"

"Yes, Miss Xaio Long is staying in the Vale Marina Hotel." Glynda answered Aodh's question.

"Alright then, Ruby you'll be staying in my apartment for tonight. I'll phone the old man and tell him I'll be leaving tomorrow instead of tonight. You remember where my apartment is don't you?" Ruby nodded a yes to Aodh. "Okay then go straight there and get some sleep. I'll leave you off to the collect point tomorrow before heading out."

"Where are you going?" A nervous Ruby asked.

"I'm going to say hi to your sister." Aodh simply responded to Ruby as he left the interrogation room.

"He's pissed." Ruby simply stated.

"I understand his frustration. Junior's bar is a very ruff area of Vale and upon hearing the damage you described I do feel a bit worried for Miss Xaio Long." Ozpin informed Ruby. Ozpin hid the smile on his face from Ruby. He was glad to see Aodh caring so much for his younger cousin's safety.

"I just hope my dad doesn't find out."

"Aodh and Professor Goodwitch have already contact your father once you arrived here." Ozpin told Ruby causing the young huntress to go wide eyed. "Since you're under the age of 18 he's on his way here to discharge you."

Ruby face froze as she soon started to realize the trouble she might be in with her father for being arrested.

"However I suspect Aodh gave you his apartment key since he wouldn't want you to make the long trip back to Patch only to repeat the same trip the next." Ozpin continue'd to speak before he was interrupted when he heard shouting coming from outside the interrogation room.

"WHERE IS SHE! WHERE IS MY LITTLE GIRL!" Ruby tried to slid down her seat as she recognized the voice that was shouting.

"Oh crapbaskets."
