《A sith dies, A huntsman rises.》New students.

Vader folded his cape in the teacher's quarters, he had been given his own room by Ozpin, still processing what had gone down.

Teaching. Vader had never considered it. Sure, he taught Ahsoka as his padawan but never an entire class, and these people weren't even Jedi. He thought back to previously that day.

Vader: What class would I teach?

Ozpin: Well...You could share the combat class with Glynda, I know you would be unfit to teach history, due to your past. (He held up his hand to stop Vader's protest) Qrow told me everything, I would be honored to have a person from another world teach at my school.

Vader: Do you have a weapons class?

Ozpin smiled at this.

Ozpin: No, Mr. Vader we do not, welcome aboard.

Vader: Please, call me Vader.

Vader decided not to correct Ozpin about his credentials, it felt wrong having this man call him lord.

Vader placed his helmet on the table, deciding not to discard it yet, it may serve a purpose later.

He heard a knock on his door, turning around, he walked towards it and opened the door with the force. Seeing Glynda standing there, immensely blushing when she saw him. Vader looked down and saw why, he was currently shirtless since he didn't have his armor on.

Glynda: H-Here! Ozpin said to deliver you these clothes!

Vader simply smiled and said a quick thank you, before closing the door.

Glynda stood there for a second before turning to walk away.

Glynda: Gather yourself, Glynda! It's not your fault he was ripped...standing there shirtless... Ugh!

Vader smiled and observed the clothes, he didn't actually know Ms. Goodwitch was there. But this confirmed his suspicion that she had feelings for him. He laid the clothes out on the bed, examining them, they were incredibly similar to the Jedi robes he wore during the clone wars. How Ozpin was able to find them eluded Vader but he was happy nonetheless.

Vader heard a buzzing from the table, the device Ozpin had given to him, a scroll if he recalled correctly, was vibrating. Picking up the scroll, he saw a picture of Ozpin, with two buttons one green and one red.

Pressing the green one he heard audio emit from a small speaker on the device, Vader put the device up to his ear so he was able to hear it better.

Ozpin: Hello? Vader, can you hear me?

Vader: Yes I can now, I apologize if this is difficult, I have yet to figure out how to work this strange device you have gifted me.

Ozpin: Well, It's not too difficult when you get the hang of it, anyways the first-year students will be arriving I would like for you to go down there to mingle with the new arrivals.

Mingle? Vader thought to himself, he never considered himself good with children. But might as well learn about the new arrivals before classes begin.

Timeskip

Vader had worn his armor when he walked to the main path, Ozpin had informed him that the new students would be arriving via bullhead, he wished for him to be there, maybe to intimidate the new students into behaving? The reason eluded Vader for the time being.

Vader watched as a large bullhead flew out of the clouds, it slowly came to a stop on the ground, a gust of wind blowing his cape back.

He watched as the side door opened, new students, pouring out. He stood with his arms crossed, people stared as they walked past, whispering and pointing.

Vader continued to observe until he heard a familiar voice.

Ruby: That girl has a fire staff! Ooh! And he has a collapsible sword! And - !

Ruby was interrupted when she heard mechanical breathing, turning she saw Vader standing close to them. Jumping happily, she ran and gave Vader a hug.

Ruby: It's so good to see you again!

Vader was surprised, and lightly patted Ruby on the back before breaking the hug, seeing Yang standing behind her.

Vader: It's good to see you two again. Ruby, how did you get accepted into beacon?

Ruby: Oh! Well, I stopped a robbery of a dust store, and a huntress with a black and purple cape appeared and the headmaster wanted me to join!

So that's why Glynda and Ozpin were gone the other day, Vader thought to himself.

Yang: What about you? Why are you here?

Vader: I was offered a teaching position here, I teach a weapons class now.

Ruby: Really?! That's great! I hope I'm in your class!

Vader smiled before speaking back to them.

Vader: Now run along you two, I'm sure you have things to do.

Ruby: Yup! Bye, Mr. Vader!

Vader watched as the two girls walk off, he turned his back to them observing the rest of the students leave the bullhead. Hearing a commotion behind him, Vader quickly turned around and saw Ruby collapsed over a few cases of luggage.

Vader: I turn my back for one second.

Vader sighed and made his way over, seeing a white-haired girl yelling at Ruby. As he got closer he could hear the two of them exchanging words.

Girl: What are you doing?!

Ruby: Uh, I'm sorry! (reaches for case)

Girl: Gimme that! This is dust mined and purified from the Schnee dust company!

Vader: Girls, is something wrong?

The white-haired girl turned seeing Vader standing there, Vader recognized her now she was Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust company. Vader remembered her family while catching up on current events on this planet.

Weiss was clearly surprised by the mechanical voice.

Weiss: Who are you?!

Vader: I am Professor Skywalker, I teach here at Beacon. Is something of the matter?

Weiss stared at the force wielder feeling she remembered him from something, Her eyes widening when she realized that he was the mysterious huntsman from the video.

Weiss: A-Ah, Yes! Professor Skywalker! Sir! This girl has knocked over my luggage!

Vader: I'm sure it was an accident, here.

Vader extended his arm, lifting the fallen suitcases back into the carrier.

Vader: Ms. Rose, please apologize to Ms. Schnee.

Ruby: I'm s-achoo!

Ruby sneezed causing a small explosion with the exposed dust, Vader felt the shockwave making his cape flowing behind him. Sighing, he cleared the dust with the force to reveal an enraged Weiss.

Weiss: You complete dolt! What are you doing here anyway? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?

Vader: Please be calm, Ms. Schnee. Ms. Rose earned her place along with the rest of you.

Weiss: But Professor Skywalker - !

????: Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellants in the world.

Weiss: Ah, some more recognition!

Vader turned and saw Blake Belladona, she was wearing a bow now, hiding her cat ears. Tilting his head up in question, Blake quickly glanced at him before continuing.

Blake: The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners.

Weiss: What! How dare - ! The nerve of!

Ruby started to snicker, Vader turned to face her stopping her laughter.

Vader: Ladies, please if you'll all relax -

Vader was cut off by Weiss walking away.

Vader: Very well. Ms. Belladonna a word if you will.

Vader walked after the hidden Faunus girl leaving Ruby where she stood.

Blake immediately began sweating out of nervousness, she decided to become a huntress to turn her life around after passing the entrance exam. But didn't expect to see Vader at the school as well.

Vader: Ms. Belladonna?

She turned around quickly facing the towering man. Her breathing became faster.

Vader: Congratulations on passing the entrance exam. I will expect to see you in my class after the entrance exam.

Vader bowed at her before turning to walk away, leaving Blake absolutely speechless. She expected to have to explain her actions of trying to become a huntress, not to be congratulated!

She smiled at the armored man before continuing her walk.

Timeskip

Vader stood on the stage in the auditorium, listening to the whispers being thrown around.

???: Is that the guy?

???: Why is he here?

???: Do you think he's a teacher?

Vader paid no attention to the whispers instead observing the doors open to reveal a panting Ruby with an unknown blonde boy. He watched as Yang waived at Ruby calling her over to the seat next to herself.

Vader observed Yang and Ruby exchange words before Ruby being confronted by the Schnee girl again. Ruby was certainly surprised but the situation quickly dissolved after a few minutes. Vader turned his head, seeing Ozpin walk out onto the stage followed by Glynda. She nodded at him who nodded back.

Ozpin tapped the microphone to gather everyone's attention, the auditorium quickly quieting down.

Ozpin: I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge - to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step.

Vader looked at Ozpin, understanding the purpose of the speech and observing the crowd of their reactions. Lots of people were blank-faced stunned with smiles on their faces, while others had looks of nervousness on their faces.

Glynda: You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed.

With that, Ozpin, and Glynda walked offstage, Vader following behind. Giving one last look at the sisters, giving them a nod before disappearing.

Vader: Professor Goodwitch, is it wise to have them all sleeping in the same room?

Glynda: It has worked in the past, and is much easier than assigning rooms when teams haven't been made yet.

Vader nodded at this, before speaking again.

Vader: I trust your judgment professor. I will admit I am a little out of my league in this situation.

Glynda slightly blushed at the compliment before speaking again.

Glynda: W-Well, D-Do you have any plans for the night?

Vader: (turning to leave) I will be in my quarters. Goodnight.

Glynda watched as Vader walked out of sight, becoming slightly annoyed with herself.

Ozpin: What was that about Glynda?

Glynda jumped slightly, forgetting that Ozpin was there.

Glynda: N-nothing Headmaster Ozpin, I'm fine.

Ozpin: Very well, Goodnight Glynda.

Glynda watched Ozpin walk off in a separate direction, before turning back to where Vader went.

Dammit

________________________________________________________________________________

Vader entered his quarters yet again, he removed his armor placing it on the stand that Ozpin had provided. He would have to get used to people calling him Skywalker again.

Vader walked over to the middle of the floor, preparing a meditation mat. He was going to perform something that rarely happened. Shirtless yet again, Vader placed the lightsaber in front of him on the floor and concentrated on the force.

The lightsaber floated into the air and began to deconstruct until it revealed the crystal. Vader began floating into the air, as the crystal began to glow. Vader exhaled deeply, and the crystal began to sing.

Vade listened to the tune, extending his hand towards the tune became much more calmer, Vader felt the force rush through his body, and into the crystal. A vision became clear in his mind.

Vader saw two men, one held a blue lightsaber, and another held a red one, both of their faces were obscured by hoods, so Vader was unable to recognize them. They both got into an attacking position.

Vader felt on his belt, feeling his lightsaber. Vader powered it on, a purple glow illuminating his face.

The two lightsaber wielders launched at Vader, he raised his blade to deflect. Both red and blue clashed with purple.

dodging backwards Vader countered the blue bladed wielder as he began to rapidly attack him, Vader blocked each blow then went on the offensive, dancing around his opponent. Until the red blade wielder attacked causing Vader to retreat.

Vader felt pressure applied as the red blade wielder pressed with his lightsaber. Concentrating with the force, Vader pushed him back, till he was next to the blue blade wielder. Both nodded at each other before launching into the air. Vader anticipated this and swiped with his lightsaber, killing both men.

Vader stood triumphant over the two dead men, using the force he revealed who they were. Under the hood of the red blade wielder, was the mask of Darth Vader. Under the mask of the blue blade wielder was the face of Anakin Skywalker.

Vader closed his eyes and opened them with a gasp as he fell to the floor. Vader picked himself up noticing a unusual glow. The kyber crystal glowed a new color, purple.

Obi-wan: What does this mean, Master yoda?

Yoda: His redemption, begun it has.
