Semblance

Taylor went on her first patrol, she was finally sure that she could be a hero, even against the bastard who told her to wait, and probably rightly so as now that she watched an enraged dragon that seemed to be hellbent on killing her, who could have thought that on her first patrol she would meet the fucking Lung who wanted to kill some children, of course, Taylor couldn't let that happen, and so she tried to stall him, to save children Lung wanted to kill, but now she looked at the flames that will with hight probability kill her, she knew she should listen to that bastard words of not being ready...

"I-I don't want to die!"

Taylor whimpered and half screamed, but as the flames that would incarnate her neared, there was a monumental deafening sound, and the people who recorded the fight between unknown cape and Lung, recorded, was a black-haired man in a what looked like white royal suit standing before the unknown cape as the flames ceased the exist the moment they came close to him.

"This... This is quite strange..."

The man said, and somehow his voice could be heard through the distance, as if he spoke near them, they saw him look at the unknown cape as his hand reached her, and cupped her cheek.

"Hmm... So you are the holder of my soul... Let me see what did I gathered."

The man said, and the people already were alarmed for his words sounded like someone with Master powers, but then they saw the girl gape at him in shock.

"Ba-bastard?"

The girl said and the man just raised an eyebrow.

"How, strange... Still... That proves you are the one who inherited Schnee's soul... That makes you Schnee... My family."

The man said and then he looked at the enraged Lung who now seemed to attack once again.

"And that makes him a nuisance."

The man said and to people, shocks, with one raised hand two black symbols were created both under and above Lung, and then seemed to squash Lung as if nothing as blood flew everywhere but the man and the unknown cape were sole spots in the vicinity not bathed in blood.

"I- Oh? It seems my time is up... Next time summon me when you are a stronger girl, so we can speak, until then, farewell, sister."

The black-haired man said as he changed into flickers of blue light and evaporated, leaving confused Taylor behind and screaming observers in panic as they finally understood that Lung was killed.

-----------------------------

Aegis opened his eyes as he looked at his hands.

"Hm... Such strange experience to be summoned, is this how you feel when you were summoned, Morgana?"

Aegis asked at the woman beside him who watched his transition with open interest, when Aegis felt pull that he knew from memories was akin to temporal summoning, he was on the fence to accept it and let it pull him to somewhere, but when he felt the pull was from the one who inherited part of his soul, Aegis did not waver and called of Morgana and Merlin, Merlin being busy with Artoria, Aegis had Morgana to watch over him, as Morgana already gained Aegis trust.

"No, at least not such like yours, as you aren't dead or Heroic Spirit, even if you already fulfill the requirements to become one... But what happened to you, was like if you temporarily created a copy of yourself and sent it away, just for its return with your memories and merging back with you, or better explanation would be that just your soul left your body and created a new body on the other side..."

Aegis hummed in thought, and truly he felt he didn't leave the Remnant, yet he clearly was at a different place at the same time.

"I see... Well, at least now I have some answers to my questions..."

"Truly Aegis?"

Morgana asked, her mind still in an uproar of possible new ways of summoning.

"Yes... And at least now I have the face of my new sister."

Aegis said with a smile as Morgana's brow twitched.

"Another one? At this rate, your subjects would need a book just to remember all names of your 'sisters'."

Morgana succinctly said, but the humor in her eyes did not make Aegis question her true thoughts.

"What can I say... Im family man."

Aegis said with humor as his mood improved, now that he knew who inherited part of his soul, and after diving into her mind and taking knowledge of his fragment in her soul, Aegis knew she was, good child, albeit a naive one, very naive...

"Still, how did she summon you? From what you are saying, there wasn't any ritual, or..."

Morgana trailed off as she searched for answers, Aegis smiling at her, knowing her never-ending drive to know everything magic-related answered her.

"Semblance, it is her semblance to summon me, just like it is her hereditary semblance to use Schnee glyphs."

Aegis said as what he gleaned from Taylor told him of what she was capable she herself didn't know about.

"That's..."

Morgana wanted to say terrifying, as she knew of Aegis power, and someone out there had the power to summon Aegis to her side in time of need? That made Morgana terrified of sheer potential and truly jealous of such ability...

Even as a clone that probably couldn't handle all the power Aegis held, it was a terrifying ability...

"Fascinating..."

Aegis said with a smile, he didn't mind being used as a summoning to a family member, after all, he had the power to ignore any summon or call for help, but to ignore the call would mean he betrayed himself, after all, one thing would be summoned by someone, and another to by summoned by Schnee, and these two things were completely on a different scale...

"W-what did you learn of that world, if you don't me asking it."

Morgana said, now wishing to change the topic before her jealousy made her do something she could regret, yes she still didn't sleep with Aegis even if she practically belonged to him, but she waited for something that was being brewed in her laboratory, something that would show Aegis how serious she was on this entire marriage...

"That world... Earth, from what Taylor knew, which was very little... That world needs cleansing... And one that would make Atlas and Mistral purge look like a walk-in park..."

Aegis said after a while from what he could glean from Taylor and his fragment in Taylor's mind, and Aegis didn't like what he saw...

"Truly so?"

Morgana asked, shocked, she never heard Aegis say something like that, normally Aegis even if heavy-handed, was very forgiving of smallfolk, or commoners, or citizens, Morgana didn't know which she could call them, still to hear Aegis saying so, painted a bleak picture of the entire world, especially if someday Aegis arrived there without summon...

"Yes... But that just made me more set on stabilizing my, no our Kingdom, just to make sure what happened on Taylor's Earth wouldn't happen there."

"It could? What exactly happened that it made you so antsy?"

Morgana asked, both curious and confused.

"Let say, that it looks like someone played a very bad game with that world."

Aegis said as he continued telling Morgana what he could glean from limited Taylor's knowledge, but even if limited, it was enough to make Morgana frown, wondering why Alaya didn't make a move if what Aegis was saying was even half-truth, it would make strange for Alaya to not act, so there was something more, something that would make even Alaya and Gaia of that world unable to act, with the sole hope of injecting some random girl by Gaia's choice with Aegis soul fragment...

"Look there."

"What?"

Sentrie asked his fellow Sentrie as they patrolled the streets, meaningless task as any street in the Solitas Kingdom was under Album's watch, even to the smallest villages were under Album's watchful eyes, still, it made people feel more secure if they see Sentrie patrol through the streets, and Schnee family wanted to make their subject's feel secured, thus this boring and meaningless part of the job was more vital than Sentrie's liked.

"Hmm? Ah, you are a new one, so you don't know, look at the top left side of your HUD, can you see that symbol? That belongs to Neopolitan Schnee, these guys are her minions."

"I didn't know Solitas suported crime."

The Sentrie said with a frown and the more senior Sentrie laughed.

"Support? Brother's no... At least not in our territory, but these are princess Neo's lackeys, they know not to make problems in Solitas borders, but outside? Well, from rumors alone, princess Neo is a very capable or rather a very ruthless kingpin... Especially when now they are two princess Neo's."

"But why?"

"Hell if I know why half of the things royalty doing is doing, but it isn't our business, still if you see them do something criminal in Solitas, make sure to report it, commander Cinder was very clear that we should let them by just if they followed our laws, the moment they break them they are fair to play for us."

"It still doesn't feel right..."

"Nah kid, that's just how it is, right or not, they are with us until they aren't, and better have criminal lord on our side than otherwise."

Sentrie said to his quiet rookie...

----------------------

"Ruby, how many times do I need to tell you to call down?"

"But! But! Beacon!"

"Yes, I know, and as I said, you are permitted to go with your sister's, the alternate RWBY would go too to complete their years, even if unneeded, they wish to complete them, and you can join too even if you are still fifteen, Aegis made a deal with Headmaster Ozpin to let you go earlier, so you don't need to prove herself with any fight with criminals as alternate Ruby did."

Raven said with a headache to pouting and smiling Ruby, truly, she was just too similar to her mother, who too could make Raven feel both elated and in pain just by speaking...

"YAAAY!"

Ruby screamed in delight as she hugged Raven who stiffened for little until she hugged Ruby back with a smile on her face.

"Now, why don't you go tell the news to your sister? Im sure they would be delighted to know."

Raven said and Ruby nodded as she changed into rose petal form and dashed away, leaving Raven and grinning Willow alone.

"They are a joy... They truly are... But the pain in the ass sometimes makes me question my sanity to try to play mother to four girls..."

"Oh? It is a sole pain in the ass you feel?"

Willow said with a smile as Raven sputtered.

"Wh-what?! The hell woman, you are speaking about your son there!"

"I know, and I know it feels good when he does me there."

Willow said without any sense of embarrassment as Raven looked at her with pink cheeks but twitching eye, at the utter shamelessness from Willow.

"You know what, yea, it feels good when he fills me up, but that's beside the point, did you already pick a name for your girls?"

Raven asked, diverting the topic to something more innocent, from the time she played the role of mother, Raven became less and less vulgar, something Willow started to become after the start of her pregnancy.

"No, I want to pick them with Aegis, so still no, even if I have ideas of some good names."

Willow said with a smile.
