As a cold sweat trickled down his forehead the world started to grow dizzy for the Hero of the Ultimatrix, he should be happy for his friends he knew that...but it seemed like his destiny was in this place, if anywhere had a clue on how Ben could get home it would be this place...but he didn't make the cut...I guess, this was the end for Ben Tennysons hope for getting home and seeing his family again. The world went dark for our hero, but through the darkness shone a light and as if to bring Ben back to reality as Ben shook his head he noticed the arrival of Team CFVY who was standing in front of him, a sorry look on their faces.
"Hey there, you doing alright?" Velvet asked, as the shocked Ben shook his head to maintain a calm and cool persona.
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine why do you ask?" Ben asked putting his hands in his green jacket with the number 10 on the white streak of it.
"Well you weren't called to the stage so we can only presume..." Yatsuhashi spoke in a steady voice as the hero shook his head.
"Yeah, maybe I didn't make it...but those who did deserve to be here, I just didn't." I looked to the stage with a soft smile, seeing Yang hug her sister who just looked at Ben giving a thumbs up, blissfully unaware of the situation Ben found himself in.
Ben gave a thumbs up back as he turned back to Team CFVY.
"Well if you're ever in the area, let us know. We'll get Coffee." Coco said casually, chuckling a bit at her own joke which got a chuckle out of Ben.
"Yeah...I'll let you know...Goodbye" I smiled as the team evacuated my area, the newly formed Team RWBY taking their place, having evacuated the stage.
"Ben look Team RWBY is in full force!" Ruby said excitedly, as her sister shared her same expression.
"Yeah I saw, congratulations you guys." I smiled, trying to hide the complicated feelings I felt.
"Though one thing was missing." Blake spoke up as Weiss nodded looking at me.
"You saved our skins back there and had a relic...where was-" As Weiss spoke I shook my head.
"Don't worry about it, I've already talked to Ozpin about it." I lied, it was clear by the pride they showed on the stage how much it meant to them that they were in Beacon, I couldn't spoil their night.
"Oh really?" Blake said, looking at me with a look of seeing through my bold faced lie, Weiss however dropped the subject as we heard a new professor speak up.
"Any of the newly formed teams follow me promptly and we shall assign you dorms." A green haired professor spoke, his white labcoat blending in with all the light grey currently in the hall.
"Oh that's us, see you around Ben!" Ruby smiled as the team walked away, leaving Ben to his lonesome once again.
"see you around..."

Standing outside beacon at the dead of night Ben found himself looking at the massive building wondering what it would be like if he made it, and didn't fail initiation.
"Just the man I was looking for." A familiar calm voice spoke from behind me, turning around I saw Professor Ozpin approaching me calmly.
"Oh, sorry Professor I was just leaving." I replied as I looked back to beacon, with the intentions of looking at my chances to see Gwen and Gramps again one final time.
"The bullhead just left, taking anyone who failed the test with it." Ozpin calmly stated, taking a sip of his coffee afterwards.
"Huh? But what about me?" Ben asked turning to Ozpin confused.
"You failed the test in the traditional sense, sure you found a relic but you neglected to find a partner," Ozpin stated as I looked down "however, you obtained the White Checker. A piece from the initiation test ten years ago, an object lost to time itself. For that I offer you an alternative." Ozpin spoke as a light of hope sparked inside of me.
"W-What?" I replied, intending on going on however Ozpin held a hand up as if to silence me.
"Work here, whilst studying at our academy you will help out with the battle class and provide us with information about your universe as its clear you're not from ours." Ozpin finished.
"I...I don't know what to say." I said softly.
"Say yes and we might find a way to get you home."
"how did you-"
"I have been alive for longer then you think, I know a homesick face when I see one."
"then...yes...I will work here."
"Then welcome to beacon academy Ben Tennyson." Ozpin smiled as I smiled back, I guess my goodbyes were all for naught.
