Hey, guys, This is My very first story so if you have any tips on how to make my writing better, that would be great! So basically this is going to be my main story, and this first chapter is going to be LOOONG.
Funny story, when I was perusing the Terms of agreements so I could write, I noticed something DEVASTATING. Written clear as day, it said that you couldn't publish lists. Which really sucked, because that means that the OC's I have been working on nonstop for the past couple of weeks were unable to be posted. So I am going to put as much information about the characters as I can (without it becoming boring of course.) into the stories. Anyway, lets hear from our good friends at MMOM inc!
Anger: hey there, me, Imagination, and Happiness will be writing this story for the first couple chapters, so you will hear back from us soon. But in the meantime, let me set the stage: a young bunny Faunus is getting ready to land at beacon and begin his first year there. Let's see what he's doing...
Copper POV
anyone could tell that the airship was packed, the noise was deafening, sounds of people talking to each other, making friends, seeing old ones, needless to say, it was like a madhouse. It probably didn't help that I had a second pair of very sensitive ears.
"Nickel, when do you think we'll get there?" I ask my Friend.
"If I knew, I would have told you the other 50 times you asked." he said shortly, clearly annoyed by me.
"okay, okay, let's see if we can find anyone that we know," I tell him.
"Fine by me, but if I may ask, can I come out now? It's really cramped in here and I would like to stretch my legs." he groans out, making sure to sound very tired.
"You're an AI in a mech, you don't need to stretch out," I state, just wanting to go.
Did I mention that Nickel is a robot? No? Just checking.
"But. I will let you out, not because we need to, but as a show of strength." I decide.
As if I hit a switch, nickel folds out of the hulking pack I carry and around me, slowly becoming his hulking 10-foot tall self and halfway encasing me in steel.
"alright Cop, let's go Find a friend to talk to!" he yells, I have a feeling that if he could smile, he would have a huge grin plastered on his face.
Naturally, people nearby have turned to look, but not as many as I thought. Most were caught up in other conversations or watching another feat of power. As I meander around, I spot something familiar, a brown desperado hat, a red poncho, and a mess of brown hair.
"well I'll be damned Copper, look who's here.' Nickel says in awe, surprised as I am to see him.
Mesa POV
I stiffen as I hear a clanking sound of metal on metal behind me, closing in slowly. As I slowly turn to see who it is, I hear a familiar voice of a certain friend.
"Mesa! I didn't expect the vigilante of Vacuo to be here!" copper yells from Nickel.
"and I didn't expect a 10-foot tall Mech walking around an airship!" I exclaim loudly to him, happy to see a friendly face.
We chat idly about what we had been doing for the last 3 years. Banter, as usual, nothing really going anywhere, eventually, we get to an awkward silence. after a couple minutes of staring at each other nervously, Copper breaks it.
"so what have you been doing lately Mesa?" he says with his usual grin.
"Oh you know, killing bandits, wandering the desert. Y'know, I never fully thanked you for upgrading my gun for me. It sure has helped a whole lot." I reply calmly.
"Don't worry about it, all I needed to do was upgrade the hammer so it gave more of a kick each shot, and told you to use refined dust bullets. It wasn't really that hard!" he says bashfully.
" Hey, don't be modest with yourself. I haven't met another person with your mechanical know-how, and I sure as hell would never have figured it out by myself!" I told him, Surprised how modest he had become.
Was this really the kid that had me shoot an Ursa at point blank range? The same one who spun tales of mechanical contraptions he made? If it was, and not some alien impostor like in that one old movie, he really had matured in the 3 years since we last met.
"Ladies and gentlemen we are coming to our destination, if you look out the window, you can see Beacon. Our ETA is 5 minutes." the pilot said calmly over the speakers.
Like a switch, everyone rushed over to the window to get a better look at their home for the next 4 years. I and Copper parted ways and got ready to leave the ship, leaving me to my thoughts.
Copper POV
who knew how that 5 minutes could go so fast. It seemed like the second the pilot finished speaking, he started again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Please leave in an orderly fashion, and please, mind the gap." he said, finishing the last part with an almost pleading tone.
As I walked out, I saw someone making their way around the courtyard, someone I knew very well.
Wasting no time, I ran towards her and yelled her name
"VELVEEEEET!" I screamed, running at a mad dash towards my older 'sister'.
She immediately froze in place and whipped her head around. As I closed in, Nickel slowly changed back into my pack. When she saw whom it was, her eyes softened and she ran at me, embracing me in a flying hug.
"Oh it's so good to see you, Copper, you've grown so tall!" she exclaimed in happiness.
Velvet was my sister/mother figure when I was growing up. Though weren't related, she and her family helped me when I lived on the streets of Vale growing up. She was the one who cared for me and now she was a Huntress in training like I was. Though substitute the word 'Huntress' with the word 'Hunter'.
"So what brings you here?" she asks like it was the most normal question ever.
"velvet, it's clear why I and Copper are here, He came to be a Hunter after he left to travel the world. That trip was actually to get experience fighting Grimm." Nickel drawled in his usually southern twang. I couldn't help but giggle at the way Velvet jumped when he began speaking.
"Oh! Nickel, you came to! I didn't see you." she said sharply, clearly still a little startled by Nickels voice.
"Well, looking like a very large backpack when you're hidden does cause problems, one of those being unnoticed until you talk." Nickel admitted.
"Well it was wonderful meeting you, but I have to meet my team. Good luck on the test tomorrow!" she said, running to a large building.
As we walked, we noticed signs pointing the first years towards a large room.
I saw a multitude of people here, Big and small, some scared, others anxious for it start. For some reason, I have a song* stuck in my head.
There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar...
I walk up near the second row, and stand around like everyone else, waiting for something to happen.
Great expectations, everyone's watching you...
A man with a cane and a coffee mug comes onto the stage, standing next to a microphone.
People you meet, they all seem to know you...
"I'll... keep this brief," he says.
Even your old friends treat you like your something new...
"you traveled here today in search of knowledge"
johnny come lately, the new kid in town. Everyone loves you, so don't let them down...
"to hone your crafts and acquire new skills"
there's talk on the street; it's there to remind you it doesn't really matter who's side you're on...
"and when you've finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people"
there's a new kid in town, just another new kid in town...
"But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy."
There's a new kid in town. I don't want to hear it...
"in need of purpose, Direction"
There's a new kid in town. Everyone's talking...
"You assume that knowledge will free you of this"
There's a new kid in town. People start walking...
"But your time at this school will prove knowledge can only carry you so far"
there's a new kid in town...
"It is up to you to take the first step"
there's a new kid in town...
with that, the man left the stage and left the women there who tells us we will sleep in the ballroom tonight.
Time flies. I and Mesa talk again, about the man that gave the speech. Apparently, he's the headmaster. We meet a couple of other people. A large northern man named Laym Mikhailov of Cheremkhovo, a city in the northernmost region of Vale. We also bumped into a guy called Robin Hellblau who didn't say much and was busy talking to a man reading on the ceiling who said one sentence to us
"my name is Ying Li Huang, how do you do?"
after around 10 lights went out and we were almost ready to drift into sleep when a yell broke the silence.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" a girl with Black hair and a suit of armor roared at another girl.
" I said that you should take your armor off, we aren't fighting anyone right now," said a Faunus girl with blue hair and a sleepy look in her eyes.
"Roux, Sapphire, calm down, you're going to wake everyone up!" Pleaded a shorter girl with bright pink hair.
"can it Nyoko! You should know my armor is like my skin now! I never take it off!" the one called Roux yelled, her voice rising again.
"they've been whispering silently to each other for the past hour, and the tall one just snapped." a voice from behind me said.
I turn to see a guy wearing a hoodie and jeans, reading a book called The Tao Of Jeet Kune Do.
"The names Neon Glas, but my friends call me Neo." he said calmly, almost like he was bored.
"Well, I think we should still try to sleep," Mesa mumbled from his sleeping bag.
"Da, I agree," Laym said from the wall, reading War and Peace.
With that, we all fell asleep to the sounds of an ensuing argument in the background, with promises of a very, very odd day tomorrow, and an interesting next four years on the horizon.
H: So how was it? I and imagination worked around the clock with this one! Of course, Anger was mad (shocker!) that there weren't enough yelling and choice words for his liking.
A: LIES! They're trying to make me look bad so you won't like me! Hold on, I'm calling the boss...
H: NO!
I: CATCH HIM!
Hey anger, whats the probl- why is anger tied up?
A: Help! They tried to silence me!
Let him go guys.
H: Fiiiine...
So how did you like the first chapter? Was it good? How can I improve? Oh yeah, the little asterisk was because of this tidbit of information * the song being used is New Kid In Town by Eagles.
So until next time, All of us at MMOM inc wish you good luck.
P.S cynicism, reason, and love will be making an appearance next chapter because reasons.
