Anakin wakes from his dreamless sleep placing his left mechanical hand to his face only to wince and pull it back due to the coldness of the metal. He quietly gets dressed and leaves the room walking down the hall only to stop at the sight of Ruby asleep in the hallway. He chuckles to himself lightly as he walks over. Before picking her up he lightly knocks on the Team RWBY form room. Once he picks the young huntress in training up he notices that no one comes to the door. Must be asleep. He though. He sighs and uses the Force to open the door and float Ruby gently up into her bed.

Once he's sure she's safely on her bed he smiles and goes to close the door. "Going somewhere?" A voice calls out from behind him making him jump. It was Yang, and next to her stood Blake both holding amused expressions.

"Sorry." Anakin apologizes. "No one answered and I didn't want to leave Ruby sleeping in the hall way." Anakin explains.

Yang sighs at what her sister had done. "Why must you do this Ruby?" She mutters to herself only causing Blake to raise a brow. "Thanks for helping her out, and sorry for assuming."

"Assuming what?" Anakin questions furrowing her brows.

"Nothing!"

Blake giggles. "I think she thought you were hear to sneak out with me." Yang blush's in embarrassment.

"No, no, no! I would never..." one look at Anakin and Blake's faces told her that they didn't believe her. She sighs in defeat. "Okay fine that's exactly what I thought."

Ozpin, Glenda, and Ironwood stand in shock within The Emerald Forest. The trees lightly shake with the wind. Grimm had refused to come close seemingly afraid of something. In front of the trio floats a black, white, and blue orb. It shifts and flows as if it were made of smoke.

"This is it." Ozpin states with amazement. "In all of my many years. I have never seen anything like this."

"Any guesses?" Ironwood questions. Before Ozpin could answer the orb gave out an ear splitting scream causing the trio to hold their ears in agony. It sounded like a girl crying out in pain. Then it stopped.

"The hell was that!" Ironwood demands, looking angrily at Ozpin.

"I don't know James!" Ozpin retorts.

Glenda smacks the two in the back of the head. "Quit it!" She shouts causing both men to jump a bit. "Look." She says pointing to the orb that was now raising into the air.

"What is it doing?" Ozpin questions out loud.

Suddenly it shoots off away from the group. "Shit! Where is it going!?" Ironwood asks frantically as Ozpin fumbles with his scroll for a second before opening it to see where it's going.

His eyes widened immediately. "Get to the school! We can't let that thing near the students!"

Anakin laughs as the three sit in the mostly empty cafeteria. Blake day next to Anakin leaning against his shoulder while Anakin had his arm wrapped around her. Yang had just told the tale of how her father reacted when He found out Ruby was going to Beacon.

"Awe man that's awesome." Anakin laughs. "I swear if my kids told me that? I'd probably have the same reaction. I mean "hey dad I know you probably want to murder me for getting arrested, but hey I got accepted into the most prestigious academy out there!"" The trio laugh again. Once the laughter dies down Yang looks to Anakin and Blake but frowns slightly.

The two notice right away so Blake decides to speak up. "Yang? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just... can I get some advice?" Yang asks.

Anakin and Blake give questioning glances at one another before turning back to Yang. "What's on your mind?" Anakin asks.

Yang sighs. "I just... I want to find someone for me like you two, Rex and Lilly, and Ren and Nora. I guess I just want to know what to do."

Anakin nods in understanding. "You want to find someone to share your life with." He determines.

"Yeah." Yang says sadly. "I've always gone with the flow you know, and I want to get wrapped up in all sorts of crazy adventures, but I..."

"You want someone to share those adventures with." Blake finishes for her with a smile. Yang nods. "What do you think Anakin?" Blake questions. "You want to help her?"

Anakin furrows his brows in mock confliction while placing a hand to his chin. "I don't know. Sounds like a tough order." He jokes. Yang rolls her eyes and Blake giggles. Blake then leans over and plants a kiss on Anakins cheek earning a smile. "Oh alright. Now listen up my young Padawan."

"Padawan?" Yang giggles.

"Yeah, Padawan, apprentice, whatever you want to call yourself. The first thing you need to understand is..." Anakin stops mid sentence as he sees the orb racing towards the three of them. Before he can react however the orb swallows the three up. Before disappearing.

Anakin groans as he wakes up feeling the soft grass he laid on. Standing up and looking around with Blake and Yang following the three see the alien world the find themselves on. Anakin however recognized this world immediately.

"That's impossible." Anakin mutters. "But they died." In front of them stood a massive monastery.

"Yes we did." An old man says from behind the trio. Anakin's eyes widened upon the voice. Turning around he could see an old wizened and ancient man who had a long flowing beard and smooth, gray skin. His eyes were pitch black with glowing blue irises and he wore wizard like clothes. "It is good to see you again, Chosen One."
