'Well here we go, the first day of my mission here at Beacon Academy.' Our protaganist thought to himself.
This man is Forge Helsing. For this mission though, he goes by the name John Mix. He stands at the corner of the airship heading to Beacon, one of the most prestigious Huntsman Acadamies in Remnant. His total height 6'2", is an average build for someone of that height, and looks to be 17 or 18 years of age. Forge has short brown hair and wears a black hoodie, with a read inner hood, an open grey denim vest with the words "Only those that have been to hell and back know how monstrous man can be." embroidered on the back in crimson. Along with this he weats black cargo pants along with gray combat boots with red laces. At his waist were two Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operators that shoot .45ACP rounds. Each pistol had an ergonomic grip, night sights, and a 10 round magazine. Each leg pouch held different magazines with different forms of dust and dust combinations. On Forge's back was a bastard sword. The blade had a length of 43 inches and a handle of 6 inches. The sword was used as a contingency, he much prefered his pistols when fighting. Even when it was used in fighting, it was in his right hand while he held a pistol in his left. He used it to block strikes, or if he has to get in close to deal with opponents with anoying semblences.
At the edge of his hearing there was a sudden "This is the best day ever!"
He turns to see a busty blonde seemingly strangling a younger brunette with rid-tipped bangs girl in a hug.
The blonde girl looks to be about 5'8" with shiny golden blonde hair that reaches down to her hips and Lilac eyes. She wears a brown vest with puffy cap sleeves and a goldent yellow low-cut crop top peaking out the collar. On the crop top, in the area of her left breast, is a symbol of a burning heart. She has a brown belt with several pouches and black short shorts just under along with what seems to be half a pleated skirt behind her. She has an orange scarf around her neck, brown leather knee-high platform boots, different length orange socks, a gray bandanna around the top of her left boot, and black leather gloves with braclets just above them. 'Deployable gauntlets?'
Next to the blond, 'Yang', was the brunette and sister, 'Ruby'. 'It seems I found part of my primary mission objective. Let's see how this plays out.'
Ruby was a young girl, she stood at a height of 5'2" and had shoulder-lenght black hair that turns red when nearing the tips, along with uniquely silver eyes. She wears a black blouse,a black waist cinchernwith red lacing and a skirt with red trimmings, completed by a red, hooded cloak. There are cross shaped pins that hold the cloak to her blouse, and a belt around her waist that has several sniper rounds withing individual loops along with a rose emblem. She has her weapon with her on her lower back, 'The mission briefing stated it is a mecha-shifting High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe. What kind of weapons are kids given these days?'
Forge is snapped out of his musings when a hologram starts to talk to the crowd.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon."
"Who's that?" He hears Yang ask.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."
"Oh."
"You are among a privlaged few who have recieved the honor of being asked to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Hunstman and Huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." As she says her final piece, Goodwitch disapears.
'We're really going to lie to them Glynda, this time of peace is nothing but a flimsy illusion. Something is coming on the horizon, it's why I'm going to attend this school. If we tell them what's really going on they can be prepared... Look at that, an air sick blonde... Did he just puke on her shoe?'
Sure enough the scragly blonde boy just puked on Yang's boot, who is curently chasing her sister around the airship.
"Grossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgrossgross!"
"Get away! Get away from me! Get away from me!"
Line Break
"Sweet fresh air." Forge sighed contently as he disembarked the airship.
"Welp, looks like it's time to look around before the assembly. Now what should I do first, the auditorium could be a good place to head to, or maybe I can see where they keep the food, I feel like I haven't eaten in day-"
BOOOM
"Or maybe I can go check that out."
When he got to ground zero of the fireball he sees Ruby being helped up by a scragly blonde in jeans, hoodie, and light torso armor. 'It's the kid that was airsick earlier. He appears ot be doing well now.'
"Hey. I'm Jaune."
"Ruby."
"Hey there. The name's John Mix, but my friends call me DJ."
Ruby looks at Jaune for a second. "Hey, aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"
Line Break
"All I'm saying is motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on." Jaune groaned out.
"Look I'm sorry, Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby said, trying to raise his spirits.
"Oh yeah? What if I called you Crater Face?"
"Hey that explosion was an accident!"
"Well the name is Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls of the tounge, ladies love it."
""Do they?"" Both Forge and Ruby said with raised eyebrows.
"They will, or at least I hope they will. My mom always says that... you know what, nevermind.,,"
"Soooo. I got this thing."
"Whoa. Is that a Scythe?"
"It's also a customizable, High-Impact Sniper Rifle."
"A wha?"
"It's also a gun"
"Oh. Uh. I got this sword. And I got a shield too."
"So What do they do?" Ruby asks while accidently turning Jaune's shield into a sheath, causing him to fumble around like the uncordinated idiot he is.
Jaune starts talking again after he recovers, "The shield gets smaller, that way after I get tired of carying it I can just put it away."
"But, wouldn't way the same?"
"Yeah it does," Jaune says disapointedly with his head bowed.
Forge interupted them from going further, "Now, quick question. Do either of you have any idea where we are going?"
""Uhhhh"" was the collective voice of Jaune and Ruby as the turned to look at each other.
Forge sighed, "Just follow me, I know where to go."
Line Break
"RUBY OVER HERE!"
They collectively turn to see Yang waving at them.
"I SAVED YOU A SPOT!"
"Hey I gotta go, I'll se you after the ceremony!"
"Hey wait!" Jaune quickly exclaims, "Ah great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?"
Forge pats his back, "Don't worry Jaune, I'm sure there's someone for you out there." As he says this, he sneaks a glance at an Amazonian like girl right behind Jaune, staring at them as they leave. "Well I should get going too. See Ya later Jaune."
"Yeah... See ya."
Forge walks back to Ruby and Yang to see Ruby being lectured by a familiar girl dressed in all white. Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.
"Read this and don't ever speak to me again."
Yang quickly interjects, "Look, sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?"
"Yeah. Great idea sis. Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies-"
"Yeah, and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys like... tall, blonde, and scragly over there." Came Weiss's sarcastic remark while pointing at Jaune.
"Wow, really?"
"...No"
Before anything else can be said, light micophone feed back and a slight cough caught everyone's attention.
"I'll keep this brief, you have travled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you are 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, a need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only cary you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
Yang is the first to speak after the headmaster's speach, "He seemed kind of off."
Ruby continues, "It's almost like he wasn't even there."
"It's because he doesn't want to get attached to the students right away. He has been headmaster for a long time, and in that time there has been one undeniable truth. Tommorow, at initiation, some of us aren't going to make it out alive." Forge Responded.
Queue Jaune for comedic relief and to break the awkward silence, "I'm a natural blonde you know."
The collective thought of everyone there was 'Does this guy not understand sarcasm.'
Line Break
"It's like a big slumber party!" Yang exlaimed excitedly as she jumped into the bed next to Ruby's as she is writing.
"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys." Ruby responded without missing a beat.
"I know I do," Yang purrs as she studies the guys that are shirtless and flexing, but quickly jumps back in disgusted shock as Jaune walks through her line of sight wearing a onesie.
"What's that?" Yang asks Ruby in order to take her mind off of the horifying image.
"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going."
"Awe. That's so cuuuuute." Yang takes a pillow to the face.
"Shut up. I didn't get to bring my friends with me. It's weird not knowing anyone here."
"What about Jaune, he's...nice. So there you go, plus one friend. That's a 100% increase."
"Weiss counts as a negative friend, back to zero."
"There is no such thing as negative friends, you just made one friend and one enemy."
A voice joins in on their conversation, "I think you two have forgotten about me."
Yang and Ruby look up to see Forge there. "Hey there DJ."
"DJ? I thought his name was John."
Forge looks over to Yang. "It is, but my friends back home call me DJ and it just stuck. I also happen to like it so if you could address me as such, that'd be nice."
As Yang and Forge were talking Ruby was looking around the room, "That girl." They happen to hear her whisper.
The follow Ruby's line of sight to see a girl, dressed in a black nightgown and bow, who was reading a book by candlelight.
"You know her?" Yang asked Ruby.
"Not really, she saw what happened this morning, but left before I can say anything."
"Well, now's your chance."
"No, wait!"
"HELLO! I believe you two may know eachother," Yang says to reading girl while dragging Ruby.
"Aren't you that girl that exploded?"
"Uh. Yeah, my name is Ruby, but you can just call me Crater... actually you can just call me Ruby."
"Oookay."
"What are you doing?" Yang whispers to Ruby.
"I don't know, help me." Ruby whispers back.
"Sooo what your name?" Yang asks.
"Blake."
"Well Blake, I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister. I like your bow."
"Thanks."
"Nice night don't you think?"
"Yes it's lovely, almost as lovely as this book... that I will continue to read," Blake continues looking at them expectantly, "as soon as you leave."
"Yeah, this girl's a lost cause."
"What's it about?" Ruby asks Blake.
"Well it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body."
"Sounds like my old roommate," Forge mutters to himself. When he sees the twitching of Blake's bow he realizes she must have heard him, but neither commented.
"I love books," Ruby continues, unaware of the two, "Yang used to read to me everynight before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters, they're one of the reasons I want to become a huntress."
"Why is that, hoping you live happily ever after?"
"I'm hoping we all will. As a girl I wanted to be just like one of those heroes in the books. As someone who fought for what is right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves."
"That's very ambitious for a child, unfortunately the real world is nothing like a fairy tale."
"Well that's why we're here to make it better."
Yang interupts the mood with an "IM SO PROUD OF YOU!" and glomps Ruby. As they begin to fight Forge turns to Blake. "We haven't been properly introduced. I'm John Mix, but you can call me DJ."
"Hi there."
"Well I'm off to bed. Before I go though, your bow is twitching, might want to hide them in something a bit more inconspicuous. Well, goodnight." Forge whispers to Blake. Leaving her wide-eyed.
She is snapped out of it by Weiss, "What's going on over here, don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep!"
""NOT YOU AGAIN"" Ruby and Weiss exclaim at the same time.
While it devolves into a shouting match, Blake reaches for the candles and blows them out, turning everything black.
