RWBY: A Different Soul

New Wardrobe And Ice Cream

Oscar, still groggy from sleep, rubbed his eyes as the morning sun filtered into his room, struggling to remember the events of the previous night.

"What happened?" he asked, still trying to piece together the events.

"You got knocked out, I took control and punched Nora across the field," I explained.

Oscar's expression turned to one of concern. "You can do that?" he asked, a hint of unease in his voice.

"Yup, but don't worry, I'll only do it when absolutely necessary or if you allow it. Plus, when I do, I get the hormones of a 14-year-old. I went through puberty once, never again," I assured him, trying to lighten the mood. Oscar seemed to accept this explanation reluctantly.

After gathering his clothes and getting ready for the day, Oscar left his room to join the others in the living room. However, upon entering, he noticed that everyone appeared concerned, particularly Qrow, who was pacing back and forth.

"What's wrong with him?" Oscar asked Ruby, who was watching Qrow with worry.

"Not sure. He got a letter from our old headmaster, and it set him off. He won't tell us why," Ruby explained, her concern evident in her voice.

Qrow paused, his expression grave as he turned to address us. "I was hoping for Oz to explain this, but I guess I have to," he sighed heavily.

Seating us all down, Qrow proceeded to fill Oscar in on the concept of the maiden and related matters, although Oscar was already familiar with the information. Then, he delved into the contents of the letter he had received.

"So, Ozpin is alive," Qrow revealed, prompting a cheer from RNJR at the news that their headmaster was still among the living. However, Oscar remained silent, his expression unreadable.

Qrow continued, "But Ozpin is not alive alive," he clarified.

Ren spoke up, voicing the confusion shared by many of us. "What do you mean exactly?" he asked, seeking clarification.

"What I'm saying is going to sound crazy... Ozpin has this ability to reincarnate into other people's bodies, and now he sent me a letter, a very important one," Qrow explained, taking a moment to gather his thoughts. Ruby, clearly bewildered, asked, "That's... How?"

"I'm not sure how, but he does reincarnate, and I've seen it before. But the important thing is the letter. He told me that Lionheart is not to be trusted and instructed us to gather our forces and protect the relic," Qrow finished, his tone serious.

"This is crazy," Jaune exclaimed, echoing the disbelief felt by many of us.

"I know, kid, I think the same," Qrow assures Jaune, nodding in understanding.

"So, the maidens, the relic, and now this," Jaune says, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "What else is there?" he asks, seeking answers. Qrow pauses for a moment, contemplating his response. "Not sure, kid. But that's all I know. It leaves me uneasy," he finally admits.

"Well, if it is true that Professor Ozpin can do that, can't he be here and lead us and be our headmaster again?" Ruby asks optimistically, her eyes shining with hope.

Qrow smiles at Ruby's optimism. "Yeah, but the thing is, short stack," he begins, using his playful nickname for her. "In the letter, Ozpin wants to stay away, and he never gives a reason why. That's the thing that bugs me. Why is he staying away? I'm not sure. But something set Ozpin off, and I think Oz is on edge, so we should be too."

"From now on, be on your guard. We'll wait until Oz, gives us more letters," Qrow instructs, his tone serious as he addresses the group.

Oscar was taken aback by the revelation that Ozpin was alive. As he grappled with this new information, a familiar voice called out to him. "Oscar, I need to tell you something," Orion's voice echoed in his mind.
