I don`t know why they left. She said she`d always stay but she`s gone now. Why do they always leave me when I need them?!
Remember the promise you made to them. If not your not worthy to live
Grey woke up with a panicked start only to be see that he was still on the airship heading to Beacon academy.
" So this where my new life begins" he thought to himself.
In order to prepare he removed his katana with from its sheath on his back and put it on his lap along side his two pistols, Death and Despair. He began sharpening his trusted katana with a silver dust gem. Normally this would be a horrible idea but Grey`s blade was attuned to use the dust to give elemental properties. His pistols were customized 1911`s with dust rounds chambered inside but they could also fire his aura if needed.
Just as Grey finished sharpening his katana he noticed that he was the only person left on the airship that had apparently landed.
" Day one and I`m already behind." he thought mentally berating himself.
He disembarked the airship only to notice Weiss Schnee yelling at some poor read headed girl while waving a vial of red dust around. Grey then noticed the younger girl about to sneeze and realized what was about to happen and decided to act. Before the read head could sneeze Grey moved with blinding speed in between the girls, took the vial from the Weiss and launched away from them.
Weiss however didn`t appreciate that at all.
" ARE YOU INSANE ! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM ! Weiss yelled furiously at Grey who stood there emotionless and stoic until he spoke back.
" Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust company. Famous singer and apparently up and coming huntress." Grey replied still holding his stoic expression firm
" You INSUFFERABLE-" Weiss yelled before Grey calmly put his hand up as to quiet her.
" I apologize for throwing your dust away but it needed to be done or else you and this young girl would have most likely died" Grey spoke while gesturing to Ruby who was cowering behind him.
" I don`t have time for this !" Weiss screeched while storming of to who knows where. At that point Ruby ceased cowering behind Grey and spoke up.
" Thank you very much. I`m Ruby Rose" she said holding out her hand while beaming a large smile and showing Grey her huge silver eyes that resembled his.
Grey`s faced changed and showed a look of surprise upon seeing Ruby`s eyes. (A/N: Yeah I rhymed. Bite ME)
" Is something the matter" Ruby inquired cocking her head sideways upon seeing Grey`s shocked look.
Grey didn't respond but instead left Ruby standing there with her hand out while he walked away to the center of Beacon and regained his composure.
" It`s not possible" Grey thought to himself. " Those eyes they cant be the same eyes as hers. Can they ?
Grey made it to where all first-year initiates were given Ozpin`s opening speech and Glynda Goodwitch`s announcement on where they would be staying and to prepare for the initiation tomorrow. Grey listened and watched as he heard Ruby and some older looking blond have a "interesting conversation" with Weiss until he decided to leave and prepare for sleep.
Grey sat in a corner with a scroll far away from anyone else in the ballroom that night yet it didn't stop someone from noticing him. Grey noticed a pair of lilac eyes peering at him from a distance and observing him. Grey not wanting to draw attention to himself simply ignored the eyes until he saw the lilac eyes owner walk towards him with seductive look on her face.
" Well hello there" the blonde purred to Grey. " I wanted to thank you for saving my sister" she continued in an all too seductive voice.
" I`m Yang Xiao long. What`s your name? " she purred
Grey seeing as how he wouldn't win without playing her game answered.
"Grey and is there a reason for u to be bothering me ?" he asked trying to sound uninterested
" Playing hard to get are we ?"
" No I`m playing please leave me alone" Grey said in a rather annoyed tone. He didn't know where that came from. He had never lost his calm before he got Beacon.
" That's a game I`m great at. Among other things." she practically purred the last part.
" Yang Xiao Long. Sister to Ruby Rose. Weapon is Ember Celica. Known for flirtatious behavior and a fiery personality. Metaphorically and Literally." Grey spoke with not an ounce of emotion in his words.
" That's me alright. You would expect that from an ex-member of Dead-Sec." she playfully retorted. (A/N: Watch Dogs reference. Fuck with it)
Grey felt his heart stop for a beat.
" I don't understand what your talking about" Grey responded successfully hiding his shock of her knowledge of him.
" We`ll see so if u don't mind I`m just gonna cuddle up here." She chimed returning to her seductive mood.
At that point Grey internally said fuck it and gave and went to sleep with one extra person on his side.
Grey woke up before anyone else at 3:00 and decided to get ready for his initiation. He wormed his way out of yang`s tight cuddle that she had managed over the night and made his way to the locker-rooms to prepare.
Apparently Beacon has early alarms because by 7:00 everyone was up and about while Grey waited in the locker going over and maintaining his sword and guns while he watched some blonde he recognized must have been from the Arc family based on the emblem on his shield attempt to flirt with Phyraa Nikos and Weiss. Only to end up impaled by Phyraa`s spear and helped up by Ruby.
Grey silently watched all this from a distance and actually smirked to himself at the events that were unfolding until everyone was out the locker-room as per orders of Glynda over the P.A system.
Grey made his way to the Beacon cliffs and listened to Ozpin`s instructions about enter the forest. Afterwards asked if there were any questions with only one person raising there hand to speak.
He wasn't called on.
Grey prepared himself as Ozpin prepared to launched the students into the emerald but grey had a better idea.
Grey stepped off his pressure pad and instead walked to the edge of the cliff. This piqued Ozpin`s interest and questioned Grey on his way.
" Grey is it ? Why are you off the pressure pads if I may ask."
Grey gave no response and instead stepped turned to face the other students who were eyeing him with interest. Next thing they knew grey had allowed himself to fall backwards off the cliff.
The next thing Grey felt was air. Pure and unrestricted as the wind carried him downward and felt free.
" Shame things like this don`t last. The freedom the falling brings and the openness of the sky. I could let go but that would break a promise and I don`t intend to do that. Right Mother"
Grey snapped out of free-falling and drove his blade over into a tree to slow his descent. Overhead he could see the other students flying farther ahead of him including a very peculiar blonde who was firing her weapon to fly farther ahead.
Grey watched all this happen until he heard a crack of nearby branches. He turned and watched as he was surrounded by a pack of beowolves and what appeared to be one larger Alpha beowulf. Grey only as they began to circle him looking for any weakness or opening to exploit.
That was their first mistake and their last.
A beowulf lunged at him only to be caught by Grey`s bare hand and cut in half by his blade. A faint green glow surrounded Grey and his sword. The second beowulf tried to get him from behind only to be impaled by Grey`s aura in the form of a spike. Next was the Alpha who began to circle Grey. The alpha lunged only to be knocked back by an aura infused front kick from Grey. The alpha recovered and charged one final time only to be caught by its throat by Grey and thrown back into a tree where it lied there crippled and broken but not yet dead.
Grey eyed the wounded Grimm and decided to show it mercy. He raised his blade up and began to speak. (A/N: 10 point to who gets this insert)
" Spirit of Wrath and Heros" Grey spoke and pointed his blade the alpha beowulf. " Bide my command and leave nothing in your wake"
" Thunder Sword"
A bolt of gray and green lightning shot from grey`s sword and completely incinerated the Alpha who now nothing but ash. Grey shook his head and sheathed his sword on his back and began to head to the temple unbeknownst to him two pairs of eyes were watching him with looks of fear and admiration.
