In Ozpin's office we see Jaune shocked in his seat, Jaune is shocked that Ozpin knew his secret
Jaune got up ready to attack but Ozpin sat still, not moving an inch from his seat as Ozpin took another sip from his mug
"Please Jaune, I mean you no harm, I just want to know how you weren't corrupted by a Darkin" Ozpin said shocking Jaune even more, but feeling no hostility coming from Ozpin, Jaune sat back down
"Sorry about the chair headmaster"
"Its fine Jaune, now please my answer?"
Jaune sighs "We made a deal, I use his power while I give him purpose, our deal benefits both of our needs and so far after half a day has passed since I've gotten Joraal" Jaune said earning a nod from Ozpin
"I see, well at least you're not blindly causing death and destruction to everything around you" Ozpin said peeking more of Jaune's interest while Joraal remained silent getting a sense of familiarity but couldn't tell who tell who this man was
"You speak as if you know Joraal" Jaune said skeptically "Have you two met before?" Jaune asked
Ozpin could only look down "I don't know Joraal personally, but I have heard of him and met his kin before, it was when the world was about to meet its end"
Jaune and Joraal were surprised "You've met other Darkins?" They said, Jaune voiced with Joraal's merging in the background
For Jaune, he was surprised, from what Joraal told him the Rune wars shifted the land burying many Darkins deep below the ground and only three were uncovered but one was lost at sea while the other two were somewhere in the east, the rest had their names lost to time
Meanwhile Joraal was surprised that Ozpin has met his kin before, but Joraal knew WHEN Ozpin met the other Darkins.... it was during the Rune wars which would be impossible since thousands of years have passed since then
Ozpin looked out of the window as he sipped his coffee "I've met many of them on that time and forgotten many of them"
"Just what are you hiding headmaster? Do you have some time traveling semblance?" Jaune asked but was met with no answer
Ozpin stood up quietly as he walked to the elevator, Jaune turned to look at Ozpin
"Come on, if you want to know my secret then there's something I want to show you" Ozpin said as Jaune entered the elevator
As the elevator doors closed, Ozpin opened a hidden panel and pressed a button, the elevator began to descend going pass the ground level and entering a place called "basement level" which surprised Jaune
"I didn't know Beacon had a basement"
Ozpin was silent and as the door opened Jaune was greeted with a long hallway and at the end was a pod that had the silhouette of a girl inside it

"Who's that?" Jaune asked
"Someone you'll know soon, but for now...." Ozpin spoke as suddenly his eyes glowed bright blue and a portal soon appeared underneath them, before Jaune could react he noticed that the around him had now shifted to a new place

"Impossible" Joraal muttered in shock
"What is it Joraal?" Jaune questioned the Darkin curious of the Crystal's in front of him
"These are the world Runes" Joraal explained getting Jaune eyes to widen in shock
"O-Ozpin.... how do you have these?" Jaune asked worried but combat ready
Ozpin turned his back onto Jaune as he started speaking "I lived longer than anyone on this planet ever has, I lived before this world was called Remnant, I have witness many who perished from their mortal life, I am a man who has finished my mission, and I hid myself among the shadows of mortals" Ozpin spoke dramatically he then turned to look at Jaune "I went by many names Ozma, Osama, Osbourne, Ozpin, but my true name.... is Ryze"
