Y/N and his team sat in front of Ozpin's desk as the headmaster looked at Flame and Levos. Levos had his helmet off revealing his short green hair and ice blue eyes.

Ozpin: So, what are your plans while you are here?

Levos: Learn about these creatures of darkness and hunt them until I can get back home.

Flame: I... Rather stay in this world. My old home is... Gone. If it's alright with you.

Ozpin: Mr. Ashen, may I ask what information you obtained?

Flame: Well, the info may not apply since I am in a different world.

Ozpin: It doesn't hurt to know.

Flame: Very well... Professor Leo Lionheart hadn't reported in for some time. So, you got ahold of me to find out what he was up to.

Flashback

Flame: Are you sure about this, Oz?

Ozpin: I'm sure, something doesn't feel right, so be careful.

Flame: Got it, May the Angels Guide Us...

Ozpin: And the Demons Remind Us.

Flame hung up and slid his scroll into his pocket. He flew below the clouds and saw Haven Academy. Quietly he landed on the rooftop and crawled to an open window. He entered an empty hallway and turned into his human form. He carefully opened a large door revealing the headmaster's office.

Flame: 'Empty, that's good.'

He quietly closed the door and looked around the room. Flame went to the bookcase and took a big sniff. His eyes widened as he recognized the scent.

Flame: Grimm.

He was about to pull out his sword when the doorknob started to turn. Thinking quickly, he turned back into a dragon and jumped up on the ceiling, using his claws to grip the tiles. Flame watched as Leo entered the office and quickly shut the door. The Faunus looked nervous as he looked around the room before going to the bookcases and pulling one of the books, making the bookcase reveal a hidden passage. A Seer Grimm emerged and a woman's voice came from it

???: Professor Lionheart, I presume you have what I requested?

Leo: Four transcripts, under the names of Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black, and a Neopolitain.

???: What does your "guest" think of this?

Leo: G-guest?

Leo looked up and saw Flame hanging from the ceiling.

Flame: Ummm... Don't mind me, just finished cleaning your ceiling.

???: Flame Ashen, still working for that pathetic wizard?

Flame readied himself to fly through the window.

Flame: What can I say? I like to work with people that don't try to destroy the world because they crave the sweet release of death.

???: Do you know who I am?

Flame: Not really, don't care too much. Listen, I really enjoy our talking session, but I need to get going.

Flame leaped through the window with his wings covering his head to protect himself from the glass. As he rolled out on the roof, he felt something crunch.

Flame: Damnit, there goes my Scroll. Guess I have to give him the information in person.
