Son Of Time

Ch 17 Not So Dead

Y/N POV

I stare down the two men in front of me and the one with the mustache lunges at me. I side step grab his ankle and sling him into the faunus. The faunus runs at me but I speed myself up and hit all of his pressure points. He falls to the floor unable to move; I look at captain mustache and stare him down.

Y/N: "You'll be wise to step aside and let me see your boss."

Mustache: "I would rather die than let you near her."

Y/N: "Suit yourself."

I hold out my hand and make a clock appear in my hand. The hands start moving forward quickly and sir mustache rapidly ages. His normally black hair quickly turns white; his skin changes from its current state to old and saggy. I make the clock disappear and he falls barely breathing. I walk past him and deeper into the castle. I keep walking until I come across Hazel and that chick with the clock on her hip. Hazel stands before me and easily towers over me.

Y/N: "I'll only ask you once to get out of my way."

Hazel: "I won't listen to you."

Y/N: "Look, you seem like a nice guy so I'm going to let you off easy."

Hazel: "What are you-"

I speed up my fist and slam it into his happy place. He drops to his knees and rolls over on the ground clutching his twig and berries. I turn to the girl and she is frozen in fear. I walk to her when she turns around and starts running.

Salem POV

I sit on my throne angry with the news my lackeys have given me. The door to my throne opens and Tock comes running in. She stops in front of me and breaths heavily.

Salem: "Tock, what is wrong?"

Tock: *gasping* "The man...he... is..."

The door to the throne is blown open and in walks a figure covered by the dust from the door. Fearing it is Ozpin I launch several magic attacks towards the figure. I wait for them to go off but they never do. The dust finally settles and I find the attacks have been frozen in place.

Y/N POV

I freeze the attacks and growl in anger. I step out from behind the attacks and the first thing I see is the girl with the clock. I unfold my cane and aim it at her; I hear a gasp and look to see someone I have been wanting to see for a very long time. I put my cane down and walk towards the person with them walking to me as well. The woman stands in front of me and has tears running down her eyes; she then speaks to me with her voice breaking.

Salem: "Y/N?"

I look at the woman before me and smile with a few tears falling.

Y/N: "Hey mom."

She wraps me into a bone crushing hug and I actually feel some bones break but I don't care. I hug her back and I feel her shoulders shake telling me she is crying.

Salem: "I thought you were dead."

Y/N: "No, I'm very much alive and I have spent all of this time trying to find you."

She breaks the hug and walks me to her throne.

Salem: "I have missed you."

Y/N: "I've missed you too."

Salem: "How have you been?"

Y/N: "For the most part good."

Salem: "That is wonderful to hear."

Tock: "Excuse me! But just who the hell is this man and why are you all soft and sweet with him?!"

Salem: "Tock, I want you to meet my son Y/N."

Tock: "So you mean to tell me the man we were sent to find and bring to you was your son?!"

Salem: "Yes, and now my precious boy is back."

Y/N: "Is she like your minion?"

Salem: "She is one of my lackeys."

Y/N: "And I take the others I meet were also your lackeys?"

Salem: "Yes. Y/N dear, would you be so kind as to get them and bring them here?"

Y/N: "Yes."

I walk out of the room and collect all of the people I beat and left behind. Once they are seated I reverse all of my damage and they are able to speak and move.

Salem: "Y/N, these are my lackeys. They are Hazel, Tyrian, Watts and Tock."

Tyrian: "My goddess just who is this piece of filth?"

Salem: *angry* "That would be my son."

He goes wide eyed and gets on his knees then begins bowing.

Tyrian: "Forgive me, had I known I was talking to my goddess's son I would have not dared disrespected you."

Y/N: "That's okay you are forgiven."

Tyrian: "You are too merciful."

Y/N: *looks at Hazel and Watts* "Sorry about hitting your beanbag and making you old."

Hazel: "Don't worry I view this as a lesson as to not mess with our prince."

Watts: "I feel the same."

Salem: "Y/N, I have a present for you."

She goes to her throne and grabs something then hands it to me.

Y/N: "My old cane, thank you. I see you kept it in good condition."

Salem: "Yes it holds sentimental value to me."

Y/N: *holds up stuffed animal* "Same as with this."

Salem: *grabs the animal* "April's stuffed animal."

Y/N: "I kept it after I found it in the rubble of our old home."

Salem: "I see."

Y/N: "What happened that day you thought I died?"

Salem: "Sit down, for that was a long time ago."

I sit down and she begins to recall what happened on that day all those years ago.
