Angels POV
"Dam why do we need teams I don't like meeting new people I'm not good with new people" I whisper to myself as I kick another rock into the bushes of the emerald forest.
"Pitching the kids into the forest. What a stupid way of deciding teams." I mumble into the white scarf I always have around my neck. I stare at my symbol at the one end of it, it's a simple halo with a set of devil horns on the inside of the halo.
But I'll admit the flight was nice I feel kind of sorry for the kids without wings, because being a Faunus with wings made my landing easy. Of course being the first one pitched off the cliff really sucked.
"UGH" I complain loudly as I kick another Rock into the bushes "why can't we just...NOT have teams."
Instead we had to make a team with the first person we made eye contact with, and in this forest I didn't exactly blend in. With my white combat boots with white laces, the boots came up to the middle of my shin. I also had a pair of high heel shoes that looked the same but high heels wouldn't help me in the forest, my pants are white in color with the seams up the outside of the leg red (nobody notices the red) my top is again a white (can anyone guess my favorite color?) t-shirt with a white cloak that rested upon my shoulders and tied around my neck with my scarf on top of the cloak clasp the clasp was a sky blue rope strung through the neck of the cloak at the end of my cloak was a sky blue fur. The cloak fell to about my knees. On my left arm I wielded my weapon which I had named flaming garden, for it was a sword that split down the middle of the blade forming its barrel for the rail gun. The sheath covered my arm from just under my wrist to just before my elbow, on my right wrist I had a blue pearl bracelet I had made that once activated it stabilizes my rail gun in midair so I don't die. Usually I don't wear the cloak but being in the forest I thought it would be colder than it was but the cloak was still comfortable.
With my wings pointed down so there covered by the cloak I keep walking forward mumbling about how stupidly this school picked there teams.
After a bit of walking and me being in my own little world, a loud 'POP' snaps me out of my little daze, off to my left a Beowulf jumped out of the bushes at me, just in time to be struck down by what looked like a playing card then the card exploded taking the Beowulf's head with it. I spin on my heel, hand on my sword to where the card came from out of the bushes walked another student with her nine fox tails swishing behind her then she looked at me.
"Hi! My names Sky Gambit, it's nice to meet you" the new girl said extending her left arm witch had a red long sleeved glove that was missing the fingers that went up to her elbow, the rest of the sleeve was on her right arm it went from her elbow to her shoulder where it attached to a grey shirt that wasn't long enough to cover her belly button. Her pants were the same grey color, both of which had stripes of different colors across them. At her finger tips on her pants were a box on each leg with what I could only guess where she held the cards that just blew a Beowulf's head clean off. The tip of each tail had a different color on it as if she used them as paintbrushes. Her hair was shoulder length in her ponytail and died two different colors. Her bangs were red with steaks of blue and the underside of her hair was died blue. She pulled her hair up into a ponytail that was just off center and again the very tips were a different color. This girls was definitely an artist.
"Do you have a name?" Sky asked as I tentatively shook her hand
"A-Angel" I stutter into my scarf I really am no good with meeting new people I could already feel my face growing warm and I knew I just knew it was going pink in color.
"Angel. Hum that's a pretty name do you have a last name Angel?" Sky asks politely
"El-El Diablo" I respond staring at the ground twisting my foot
Please stop asking questions now I beg her inside my head please stop
"You're a shy one aren't you Angel El Diablo? That's ok we should probably keep moving any way we need to make it to the temple"
"Y-you c-can just call me A-Angel" one thing I hated more than having to talk to new people or people in general was people unnecessarily using my last name.
"Okay" Sky responds "well off to the temple now then Angel"
After about ten minutes of walking we stumble across the temple looking at the half circle of small pedestals I saw absolutely none of the relics missing.
"Looks like we're the first ones here" Sky says seeing the same thing I do. Upon closer inspection of the pedestals on them were chess pieces.
"I vote we take the black King piece what do you think Angel?" Sky Asks looking at me
Here we go again my face grows hot with the attention
"S-sure" I mumble in to my scarf trying to get her to stop staring at me.
As Sky picks up the piece I hear the bushes rustle and after last time I'm ready drawing Flaming garden I'm ready, out of the bushes comes...
"GRRRRR" out from the bushes sprints the little wolf of Xavier's named Tiger, I was there when Xavier built Tiger, I would recognize the little guy anywhere. He simply ran up to the edge of the temple and stood there waging his tail. The little guy was waging it so hard and fast I swear he would have been able to cut a tree down. Shortly after Xavier and his partner walk out of the same bushes.
Xavier's POV
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin states as all of the new beacon students are lined up along the cliff overlooking the forest. "Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die."
"Yay dying! I love dying" I think to myself drowning the rest of the speeches by headmaster Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch
"Let's hope this little trip doesn't ruin my outfit!" Think most of the girls because you see I can read minds (not really but I like to think so) I had it good I don't wear clothes that I don't mind getting a dirty (hey blood counts as dirt) it was a simple white t-shirt with the black words 'please wait sarcastic comment loading' (and believe it or not it works more times then I'd be care to count) with a black dress shirt unbuttoned in the front with a simple pair of black jeans. my weapons of choice were my pair of duel dust guns modified into gauntlets so I can punch everyone (90% of the time I want to) and I guess punch everything too. They weren't your average pair of gauntlets tho with the plate that crosses my hands I can control the firing and the weapons 'knife mode' (I didn't have any better of a word ok) and ya that basically did what you would think it would. The side of the gauntlet was here the knives were and these things were not your average kitchen knives they were sharp.
"Finally!" I shout as I hear people being launched into the forest time to have some fun! Just before I'm pitched into the forest I put my fingers to my lips and let out a whistle calling my little buddy and best friend Tiger. And No I know what you're thinking (see mind reading) he's not actually a tiger I just named him Tiger. And again yes he's mechanical I built him, he has the sleek body that looks more like a wolf then anything.
Using Tiger as a weight my trip through the air was much shorter than anyone else landing not far from the beginning cliff face I make my way to the ruins. After a bit of walking I noticed two red eyes staring at me not remembering how far I walked (hey zoning out is an art) or noticing how long the eyes were staring I started my own little staring contest with them after a minute or so I realized they were Beowulf eyes, determined to win the staring contest I kept my eyes locked with its, after another minute or so the bushes behind me make noise then something runs into me from behind breaking my stare, and in catching myself I hear an ursa cry out and burst out of the bushes after the thing (at this point I'm only assuming it's another student) that hit me. Instincts kick in and stepping into the ursa punching it right between the eyes, as my fist connects I unleash a bullet of fire killing and knocking the ursas body back. Spinning on my heal to get back to my staring contest I see the boy that knocked me out of it in the first place stand up, out of the bushes jumps my Beowulf buddy, dropping to one knee and aiming his sword to the chest of the Beowulf he releases a torrent of flames from the blade, the boys back still to the Beowulf's jumping location the Beowulf fly's over his shoulder crumpling to the ground between us as a burnt husk of what it was.
"Now why did you have to go and do that man? I was totally winning that staring contest too!" I tell him as he stands back to his full height
"Well if I didn't I would probably be dead and you would have had to kill it." States the boy "my names Icarus by the way and your welcome"
"Xavier. And I'm welcome? I'm the one who killed the ursa!" I tell him gesturing to the fading body of my kill but what stood out the most to me was what he wore I didn't look to practical for around here and more like he belonged in the desserts of vacuo, he wore a black pair of dress shoes his pants looked like fires were burning at the bottoms of each leg turning to black in color at the belt line his sword didn't have a sheath but it still was attached to his hip on his left side. Along his left arm were 3 long circles one from his shoulder to 3 inches above his elbow about an inch under that starts the second circle the last circle was an inch under that to his wrist the color of the circles were a deep red clearly made with dust the sleeve attached to his shirt/jacket his jacket had a zig zag pattern witch were where he did it up down the middle of it the right half of the jacket had burned marks across it and in some of the burnt out cloth I could see metal the jacket shirt thing he wore had a red/orange color to it definitely the colors of the dessert. His hair was charcoal black with streaks of fiery reds his eyes were the color of the sun there was no mistaking it he was from vacuo.
"Ya well my kill was much more fabulous so eat me" Icarus says
"Come on let's make it to the temple before I do, I am getting kind of hungry." I tell him as we start walking and just to scare the new guy a bit I let out a good taxi cab whistle, and spinning on his heal he looks at me,
"What the hell was that anyone or anything with ears could have heard that!" He states
Out of the bushes to the side of where we were standing sprints tiger he often leaves to do his own mech/wolf/tiger thing so I just leave it
"Did you find the ruins boy?" I ask tiger as he runs over to me waging his tail fast enough to cut down trees he spins around and runs back the way he came
"Well I'll take that as a yes" I say looking at Icarus the look on his face was priceless if only I had a camera.
After not much more walking we come across the clearing that the ruins are in and who's there waiting (other then tiger (see? mind reading)) it was Angel El Diablo and who I'm assuming was her partner and she had nine tails?! But what I liked the most was all the pieces were still in the ruins including the one in Angel's partners hand, we were only the second set of people there.
