Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 42

" So what do you think we should practice first?" Ruby asked as ahe practically skipped in her steps. " Maybe we should spice up the ladybug move or maybe make a new move...Ow." Tea spilt all over the floor as the mug fell ou of her hands. " I'm so sorry for tha-Aaaaah! VEENA!" She hugged the violet eyed girl whom still binded her eyes.

" Hello, Little Rose." She said with a smile and patted the girl's head. She wore a plain black shirt and some pajama pants. Her hair, a dark bluish mess as she was headed for her room.

" Vee, what's with all the noise?" Owen peeked from the door and saw the simple smile on her face.

" Hello, firefly~" She said sleepily. " I think I'm hearing things...I just heard my Little Rose~" She staggered slightly as her teammate ushered her into the room.

" Go sleep." She ordered her. " Oh, it's you guys again. Sorry for that, she's...sleep deprived."

" It's okay," Ruby said slowly, a bit surprised by the fact that her friend was a student in Shade. " It was nice to see Veena doing alright." She finished with a smile. Owen looked at her in surprise, she blinked twice before adjusting her cap.

" You, know her? You know Veena?" They nodded and were taken back by her reaction. " So you must be 'Little Rose'." She said looking at Ruby up and down. " 'Snowflake'." She said looking at Weiss. " 'Black Cat and Golden Dragon'." Owen paused for a moment as she crossed her arms. " Wait here." She went back inside and when she came back out, she had changed her clothes. A white dress with golden motifs, a black scarf with matching black leggings. " Do you mind if I come with you? I just want to talk. About the Sparrow." Team RWBY looked at each other and nodded.

' Focus.' Ozpin reminded him as he snapped from his thoughts and barley dodged the claws of an ursa. ' When against an ursa, remember two things-' Oscar leapt forward and rolled over as he dodged another swipe. ' One,' " They're big, so I gotta be quick." Oscar said to himself as he blocked. ' Two?' He ran up a tree and as the ursa broke the trunk in half, he jumped off and hung in mid air right above its head. His cane glowed a green aura as he let out a cry and striked its neck. " Always, aim for the head." He finished as he landed on the ground, followed by the thump of the grimm's head reaching the earth and evaporating. ' Good, you've improved greatly since the last time you fought. I'm very proud of you.' Oscar snorted. " Oh shut up Mr. I love keeping secrets from everyone." ' Oh, still upset? Fair enough. Guess I'll just go back to locking myself up...' Oscar sighed. " No, I'm not upset. And no, don't go dark like that again. If it weren't for Veena and Maria to give us a push then we would've been stuck and stumped in Argus."

" Hey, Oscar." Jaune greeted him. Oscar returned the greeting and smiled. " Professor." He said suddenly stern but still the younger boy smiled. He learned to separate himself and Ozpin, deciding that they were indeed as Veena said, two souls, two individuals. " You done with training? Ren and Nora are off on a date tonight, someone from team NDGO recommended a cafe for them to visit so they're trying it out." Oscar nodded and waited for him to finish. " Do you want to hang out tonight?" The younger boy blinked twice and gave him a surprised look. " Look, I haven't exactly been fair to you and since we're a team, I thought we should try and get along or something."

" Ruby told you to do this?" He guessed.

" No. Maybe a little, but the thing is, I was wrong to blame you for something you didn't do. So, what do you say?" Jaune smiled genuinely and Oscar returned it.

" Yeah, I'd like that."

" So you're parents, were her students?" Weiss concluded after Owen finished her story.

" Not exactly. More like, their teacher and the teachers before that were her students. It goes way back but that's how our family got our own fighting style. She gave my family hope and something we can pass down to the next generation proudly as our tradition. Hence, the Firefly Style." She smiled proudly as she told the story of how her ancestors emerged from a life of slavery to honored warriors.

" Which one of her lifetimes were the ones that taught your ancestors?" Blake asked. " Was it Aris?" Owen shook her head which was a surprising answer as her family was from Mistral.

" My ancestors immigrated from Vacuo. Right after the disappearance of the Midnight Sparrow : Natrah." Team RWBY glanced at each other with more worried looks. They've heard legends of that one life, merciless was how she was described. " She's not a murderer like the legends, she never kills without reason. She was a warrior, she stood by her beliefs that 'humanity is driven by the choices one can make or what they will make'. It's one of the pillars of our fighting style." She looked at them in the eye after a stroke of silence. " We serve her not just because she spared our ancestor's life but because it's the only way we know how to repay her kindness." She walked ahead of them and waved goodbye as she spotted one of her teammates. " It was nice meeting you team RWBY. Red and White, Black and Yellow. Sheilded by an olive tree, Guarded by a crow." She said that last bit in an inaudible tone.
