Rwbby: The Man-Bear
Chapter 1: The Bear Meets The Rose
It was a quiet night in Vale as a giant man walked peacefully down the streets. The giant man stands at seven foot and two inches and has light brown skin. (The Hispanic brown) He has short black curly hair, he wears dark navy blue jeans, and his footwear are a pair of black and white sneakers. He wears a black t-shirt and also wears a matching dark navy blue hoodie, with his hood currently down over his head. His face was was not like the rest of him, it appeared younger. It had no facial hair of any kind and he appeared to much younger than he really was.
He walking towards a small shop in the middle of the street. The shop's sign read "From Dust Till Dawn", a small dust shop that was going to be closing soon. The young man was about a block away when he noticed a man in a white coat, black bowler hat, and held a gun metal grey cane in his hands. Along with the man walked men in matching suits of red and black. They we're walking straight for the dust shop, their intentions didn't seem good because the men in grey suit each carried red swords that was held in each of their right hands.
People in the streets were scared at this and stepped back in fear. He stepped forward and started to follow close behind the mysterious men, doing his best not to make a sound. As the white coat and the black suited men entered the shop the owner, an old man with white hair greeted them before he realized their intentions. The old shop keeper started to grow a bit pale.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop open this late at night?", asked the man in the white coat. As he finished his sentence one of the what appeared to be minions pulled out a small fire arm and put it in the shop keeper's face. "P-please, just take my Lien and leave!", the shop keeper said nervously.
"Shhh, we're not here for your money.", the leader said almost sympathetically. He then looked towards his men and his face grew serious. "Grab the dust.", he ordered the minions. The minions in black and red suits then brought out suitcases to put the dust away like jewelry. One of the henchmen then walked up to the shopkeeper and opened up a large case. "Crystals. Burn, Uncut.", he ordered the shop keeper. At this point the giant young man decided to make his move. He stepped into the shop, ducked his head so he wouldn't hit the top of the door, and made his presence known to he robbers.
"You know you could find other ways of making money instead of stealing it from hard working citizens.", he said as he walked through the front door. The leader and the henchmen all turned and raised their swords. All of them except one who seemed to be preoccupied with a girl in a crimson red hood, reading a magazine.
The young man was finally able to get a good look at the leader. He had long orange hair that was styled to cover his right eye, the visible eye was green, and had a cigar in his mouth. He wore black gloves and matching black pants.
The leader was the first to speak, "Well jumbo, didn't your mommy ever tell you to never stay out past your bed time?", the leader asked sarcastically.
"She did, but she also taught me to protect those who can't protect themselves "pequeño hombre". So put the dust down and no one has to get hurt.", the young man said in a serious tone.
"Only person who's going to get hurt is you. Get him.", he ordered his henchmen. The henchmen next to the white coated leader charged the giant young man and swung his sword at him aiming for his neck.
The giant young man just stood there and let the sword hit its mark. As the sword made contact it hit his skin and stopped. The henchmen and the white coated leader's eyes opened wide.
The giant young man stood there, frowned, and then grabbed the henchman's sword with his bare hand. "I warned you.", he said angrily as he quickly started to apply force to his hand on the sword. Before the henchman could try to pry the sword from his hands it shattered in the giant young man's hand. Pieces of the crimson red sword fell to the ground and the giant young man grabbed the henchman by the collar of his suit and held him up.
"My mamá always said "Some lessons are learned the hard way", now I see why.", he said as he cocked his other fist behind his head.
Before he could hit the henchman, another one flew straight through one of the giant windows, then quickly followed by a small red and black blur. The giant young man quickly dropped the henchman and rushed to the broken window. The leader and the henchmen did the same but with a little distance between them and the young man.
He looked outside the shop and found a girl who was oddly dressed like little red riding hood with her short shirt being black. She wore black leggings underneath her short shirt and very oddly what seemed to be combat boots. The two things that really seemed to stick out about the girl was that she wore a crimson red hood and more importantly, within her hand a giant weapon was quickly unfolding.
The weapon was the same color as the hooded girl, but it was much bigger than her. The weapon was a giant scythe, and the girl appeared to only be around five feet tall!
"And here I thought abuelita's kitchen knife was big.", the young man thought in amazement.
She flipped the scythe around in a circular motion and pointed it towards the leader and the henchmen. In her other hand she had a pair of headphones that were playing music, she then pressed the pause button.
The leader was the first to speak. "Okkkaayyy. Get them.", he said to his henchmen. They immediately sprung into action and did as they were commanded. Two of them tackled the giant young man while the other three attacked the girl.
The young man was tackled to the ground and he immediately started to get back to his feet, but he then stopped when he saw what the red hooded girl was doing with the scythe.
She swung her legs and kicked a minion in the jaw while still holding onto her scythe, and sent him back into the dust shop through the broken window.
As the minion flew back into the shop, the young man noticed that the henchman was already knocked out by the blow. He then turned his attention back to the girl when he heard a near deafening gunshot go off and saw the girl spin and launch a minion almost twenty yards away. She then slammed the back of her scythe down onto another who tried to charge her. Another henchman then revealed himself from the shop and pulled out a rifle and started to shoot at her. She then fired her "Gun Scythe" and launched herself away from the oncoming gunfire, then launching herself again at the minion.
She shoulder tackled him causing him to launch slightly into the air. The girl was still moving at high speeds so to stop herself she dug her scythe into the road to redirect her momentum into a swing and send the minion flying.
The young man then broke out of his stupor and noticed his attackers were transfixed as well by her abilities. The young man grabbed their heads and then slammed them together, knocking them unconscious. He quickly got up and ran to the girl's side as she landed back onto the ground.
The girl looked him in slight confusion, but then they both turned their heads to the leader who was walking nonchalantly towards them. He pulled he cigar out of his mouth and spoke.
"Well, Red, Big Blue, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening.", he said as he used his cane to stomp out his cigar. "And as much as I'd love to stick around... I'm afraid this is where we part ways!", he said as he brought up his cane and a sight popped up.
The leader then shot what can only be described as a giant red flare of energy. It flew straight for the giant young man and the hooded girl, but girl reacted quickly and launched herself into the air. While the young man brought up his arms and took the hit.
The road around the young man flew like leaves in the wind and the young girl landed a few yards in front of the young man landed on one knee. She looked back at the young man with a worried look, but found the young man giving her a thumbs up. She then focused on finding the white coated leader. She scanned the area and found him climbing a metal ladder on the side of a building. She then noticed the old shopkeeper make his way to the front door of the shop, and he appeared to be out of breath. "You ok if I go after him?", she asked in a serious manner. The shopkeeper was so winded that all he could do to answer her was give her a soft "uh-huh". She then ran off, the giant young man following close behind her.
The leader finished climbing the ladder and rushed to cross the building. The hooded girl launched herself upwards with her "Gun Scythe", while the young man jumped and hit the roof with a loud boom. "Hey", the girl said to get the leader's attention.
The leader who had just reached the end of the roof seemed to be waiting for something. "Persistent...", he said keeping his back to them.
Then a low rumble started to commence and then grow stronger. In a few seconds a bullhead pulled slightly over the leader's head and shined a light at the duo. As they were distracted the leader climbed into the bullhead and stood up. He turned to face the heroic duo and raised up a red crystal. "End of the line!", he said as he yelled over the roar of the bullhead engines. He then tossed the crystal at the duo and raised his cane up and fired at the crystal as it hit the ground.
The giant young man then grabbed the. Red hooded girl and pushed her behind him. As the crystal began to explode a purple blur flew in and landed in front of the young man.
The white coated leader started to celebrate. "Whoa-ho-ho", he cheered with a large grin. But as the dust clear he noticed a purple glow. "Huh", he said in curious manner.
When the dust cleared there in front of the giant young man stood a woman at over six feet tall. She appears to be a middle-aged woman that has very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar.
She wears a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black-brown stockings.
She wears black boots with brown heels, and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara.
Her weapons of choice appears to be a riding crop, and it was pointed at the white coated man. Her cape flows in the wind along with Ruby's who seems to be perplexed by the appearance of this woman.
The "Witch" uses her left hand to push up her glasses, while leaving her eyes focused on the bullhead. She then brings her riding crop back as if she is going to swipe it at someone. She then swings her riding crop and eight purple beams of light fly towards the bullhead attacking it in various areas of its hull, causing it to sway greatly.
The leader stumbles his way to the cockpit and looks at the pilot. "We got a Huntress!", he says as he yells over the engines. The pilot then immediately lets go of the the control stick and heads into the the cargo bay. The leader then grabs the controls and takes over as the pilot.
The Witch charges up another strike, but this time sends off one large purple ball of light. The ball of light misses the bullhead and explodes above it, creating four large purple glyphs before again disappearing. In its stead a storm forms from the air until they grow to large enough to form only over the bullhead.
The leader then heard thunder and looked up at the clouds. "The hell...", was all he could say before the Witch continued her attack. She raised her riding crop into the air and immediately brought it back down. Following her movements bright sky blue shards of ice fell from the clouds and onto the bullhead hitting it everywhere along its hull. It hit the main body, the wings, and then finally the cockpit barely missing the leader as he dodged it.
The the woman who was the pilot now walked slowly in the cargo bay making sure to hide her face in the shadows. Her glass heels softly clinking as she stepped. She brought her left shoulder forward and a red glow came from her left hand. She ran it along her right arm and then struck it forward releasing a red blast of fire towards the Witch.
The Witch raised a purple barrier and blocked the blast splattering the blast into the roof. The "Fire Woman" brings her hand up in a rising motion. Making the flames the still linger to explode under the Witch's feet. The Witch jumps back next to the hooded girl and giant young man. The explosion causes parts of the roof to fly and crumble.
The Witch then brings her riding crop up and swings it around using her magic to gather the pieces of the roof and forming it into a pseudo giant spear. She then swings her riding crop and "throws" the makeshift spear at the bullhead.
The Fire Woman shoots several blasts of flame to stop the oncoming threat. She seems to stop it midair, breaking them apart back into pieces of cement, and in response stops firing it. The Witch though adds more magic into the fragments forming it back into the makeshift spear and having it continue on its course for the the cockpit.
The leader sees this and in response tilts the bullhead toward the spear. It makes contact and scatters hitting one of the engines, but not damaging it. The Witch then moves her riding crop through the air in a sideways chopping motion. This in turn causes the fragments of the spear to fly and form into three different streams, hitting the bullhead again from three different directions.
The giant young man was amazed at what he saw, he had never seen anyone do something like this before. It was like the stories his parents would tell him before he went to bed. This is what is he always wanted to be a protector, a hero, a Hunter.
The Fire Woman struggled to keep her balance from the oncoming assault, but was soon able to regain her footing and brought her arms closed together around her head. She focused then released a large fire blast incinerating the streams of cement completely.
The giant young man then realized that the Fire Woman now had the upper hand, the crimson hooded girl noticed this as well. Her face said "She needs help.", and the rest of her followed. Her giant red scythe then transformed collapsing the scythe blade and changing it into a large gun barrel. The Young man and Witch saw this and looked on in hope that she could stop them. For they could do nothing but stand and watch as the hooded girl did her best to shoot the Fire Woman, but to no avail.
The Fire Woman was able to block the bullets with a small barrier as big as a shield. The girl stopped and couldn't think of what to do next. The Fire Woman saw this and decided to end this game. The Fire Woman brought both of her hands together and focused once more.
The Giant young man looked down and saw that the roof all around the three of them was starting to glow and burn with extreme heat. Out of instinct he quickly grabbed the two women and pushed them about several feet away from the blast leaving himself there to take the entirety of the attack.
As he was engulfed in flames and the two girls hit the roof, the bullhead started to close up and fly away. The Witch quickly stood up and looked at the bullhead as it stated to fly away. All she could see before it closed was the glowing red eye of the Fire Woman. She then turned her attention back to young man, as she did the red hooded girl started to get up.
They both looked into the blast zone and found the young man on one knee with his arms up protecting his face. He starts to slowly relax his arms and stand up. He then looks down at his clothes that were now mostly burned to a crisp. His navy blue jeans were now in tatters near his legs, luckily not around his crotch area. His navy blue hoodie was in the same condition, but the entire thing was burned.
As he stood up the burnt hoodie started to crack and fall to the floor, revealing his true nature. When he stood up right two small black round fuzzy ears appeared on top of his head. The giant young man saw the two girls looking at him, so he smiled at them and crossed his arms telling them that he was ok.
Then the red hooded spoke to the Witch. "You're a Huntress. Can I have your autograph?", she asked in amazement.
A few minutes later
The red hooded girl and The giant young man sat at a large squad table, in the middle of an interrogation room. It was dimly lit with only one light over their heads.
The red hooded girl seemed to be in a sad mood and the young man seemed to be calm. He noticed her look and decided to help cheer her up. "Maybe if I say something funny, it might cheer her up.", he thought to himself.
"I never introduced myself, my name is Bernardo Oso Guardián, but my friends call me Big Bear.", Bernardo said with a smile and his right hand outstretched. "Nice to meet you Bernardo my name is Ruby Rose, but you can call me Ruby.", Ruby said with a small smile as she tried to shake his gigantic hand. Ruby suddenly felt more relaxed and calm, she didn't feel so nervous now. She felt like she wanted to get to know Bernardo, he gave off a good feeling.
"I've never seen anyone with that kind of weapon before, what you did was amazing.", He said with his eyes wide. "Me! What about you! You took two shots straight to the face and came out unscathed... well except for your clothes.", Ruby said with a small giggle. "You know what I was wondering why it was so breezy in here.", Bernardo said with a big grin. This made Ruby smile and laugh, Bernardo laughed along with her.
"I have another question. What kind of faunas are you? I've never seen those kind of ears before.", Ruby asked curiously. "Well to tell you the truth...", he started to say before the door to the interrogation room opened.
Walked in was the Witch who tried help to stop the criminals from escaping. She was clearly mad at the two youngsters. She walked over to the area behind Ruby and started to pace. "I hope you realize that both of your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young lady and young sir.", she said almost drilling her eyes at them. Bernardo had been through this before, you made a wrong decision you have to live with the consequences. He'd already learned this lesson plenty of times, but he knew that standing up for the old shopkeeper was the right thing to do.
"You both put yourself's and others in great danger...", she continued before Ruby defended herself. "They started it!", she pleaded. "If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back...", the Witch said almost warmly. This made Ruby and Bernardo both slightly smile at that before the Witch continued. "And a slap on the wrist.", the Witch said coldly. She then brought down her riding crop on the table making both Ruby and Bernardo jump back slightly. "Eeek!", Ruby squeaked in response to the Witch's action. Bernardo kept quiet even at that, he was currently reliving a bad memory he had as a child that involved his mother and a large belt.
"But... there is someone here who would like to meet the both of you.", the Witch said almost disgusted. The sound of new footsteps brought Bernardo back to reality and he focused on the silhouette that was making its way into the room. His nose started to twitch because he smelt something... something familiar, but something he hadn't had in years.
The figure walked into the room and revealed itself in the light. It was a man that gave off a weird feeling to Bernardo. The man appears to be a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.
Interestingly, he has black eyebrows, suggesting that he may have had black hair when he was younger. "Ruby Rose and Bernardo Guardián...", the man said as he saw the two youngsters. He then leaned in and looked closely into Ruby's eyes. "You... have silver eyes.", he said softly. "Umm", Ruby said confused. "And you... have a warm smile.", the man said to Bernardo, who was equally confused as Ruby.
"So! Where did you learn to do this?", he asked suddenly changing the subject. The Witch next to him pulled up a small device and played a video of Ruby fighting against the henchmen with her giant scythe.
"S-Signal Academy.", Ruby said nervously. "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?", the man asked slightly amazed. Bernardo turned to look at Ruby, curious to learn the answer to the man's question.
"Well one teacher in particular.", Ruby said confidently. "I see...", the man said expectingly. He then placed a plate of cookies and honey biscuits down on the table right in front of Ruby and Bernardo. Ruby hesitantly attempted to grab a cookie, she wasn't sure if it was alright to eat it or not. Bernardo on the other hand was doing his best to control himself, he was doing the same as Ruby.
Ruby then grabbed a cookie and put it in her mouth..., then another... and another until she quickly started to devour all of the cookies. Bernardo quickly grabbed one honey biscuit and took a slow bite and relaxed.
"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow.", he man said as his eyes wandered as if he was reliving a memory. "Mmmm! Thash muh unkul!", Ruby said with her mouth full. This gained Bernardo's attention and for a moment he forgot about the treats he was brought.
Ruby then swallowed her food and wiped her mouth. "Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal!", she said happily. "I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I'm all like- Hoowaaah! Witchaaa!", she continued as she demonstrated with "ninja moves". "So I've noticed.", the man said calmly. He put his coffee cup onto the table and continued. "And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?", he asked clearly intrigued.
"Well... I want to be a Huntress.", Ruby said seriously. Bernardo remained silent, this man was having a deep conversation with Ruby and he had a gut feeling that he was going to be next.
"You want to slay monsters?", he asked slightly sarcastically. "Yeah. I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! You see my sister's starting there this year and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us help others, so I thought, 'Hey, I might as well make a career out of it!'. I mean the police are alright, but Huntsman and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and really , gosh, you know!", she said happily.
The Witch gave her a worried look and the man kept his calm look. Bernardo however tried to keep back laughter. "She reminds me of my sister.", he thought.
The man then spoke after a moment of silence, "Do you know who I am?". "You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster of Beacon.", Ruby said calmly. "Hello", Ozpin said warmly. "Nice to meet you.", Ruby said kindly. Bernardo went wide eyed, he didn't realize that he was in the presence of a headmaster especially the headmaster of Beacon.
"You want to come to my school?", Ozpin asked his tone slightly serious. "More than anything.", Ruby said her voice almost pleading. Ozpin looked back at the Witch with a equally pleasing look. The Witch had a motherly look of "Alright". Ozpin smiled, "Have your bags packed and the ship leaves at seven in the morning. Welcome to Beacon."
Ruby remained quiet for a moment before she burst into happy cheering. "This is so awesome! I have to make sure I pack everything, I need my toothbrush, my clothes, my repair kit for my weapon!", Ruby said loudly. "Calm down Ruby, this gentleman was quiet when I spoke to you. So will you remain quiet in the meantime?", Ozpin asked calmly. "Yessir.", Ruby said blushing from her outburst.
Ozpin then turned his attention to Bernardo, "Now care to explain how you were able to receive to blasts of fire directly and come out unscathed, catch a sword with your bare hand, and break it?"
"It's just something I've always been able to do... and my strength I've had that since I was a little. It only keeps growing every day.", Bernardo said calmly. "So I see.", Ozpin said calmly. "Another thing that's odd about you... Is your name. I've only ever heard that name from one person and he was one of the fiercest fighters I've ever seen.", Ozpin said slightly amazed. "Was his Bemabe Guardián by any chance?", Bernardo asked nervously.
"Why yes, your father was a very great warrior before he ran off with a female scientist/Huntress he fell in love with. They both ran off with an experiment that was meant for so much more.", Ozpin said slightly sad. "Wait what are you talking about? I was never told this!", Bernardo said his voice starting to grow in volume. "Bernardo I will explain everything to you, but you need to remain calm.", Ozpin said sternly. The Witch slowly reached down for her riding crop and Ruby sat there wide eyed.
Bernardo sat back down and started to slow his breathing. "Alright, I'll listen.", he said calmly. Ozpin grabbed the device from the Witch. "Bernardo there is a lot of stuff to tell you, I'll put it bluntly...You were made to be a weapon.", Ozpin started to say seriously. Bernardo started to sulk at that comment. "But your parents saw something more than that. They took you and ran away to raise you, to help you realize that your strength was given to you to help those around you.", Ozpin said. Bernardo looked up from his sulk and wondered if he was right.
"Bernardo, what do you want to do with your life?", Ozpin asked suddenly. Bernardo thought to himself for a moment, he never thought this far ahead. He always put his family's well being before his own. "I-I've always wanted to help those who couldn't protect themselves and to help those who's hearts have grown cold to the good bright side of life.", he said confidently. "When everything has fallen to darkness and everyone has lost hope, I want to be the one who lifts their spirits. I've been in the slums and I've seen what happens to those who can't help themselves.", he said with a warm smile.
Ozpin smiled softly, Ruby had a lone tear trail down her cheek, and the Witch looked at him in curiosity. "That's a very admiral thing to aspire to young man, but what if I told you I could help you? To put you onto the road to your dream, to give you a place at Beacon. I can help you to understand who you truly are.", Ozpin asked Bernardo with interest. Bernardo thought for a moment thinking about who he would be leaving behind.
"I can never leave, especially with condition my family is in presently.", Bernardo said slightly saddened. "I understand that your family is financially poor, but I could make you a deal... Come to my school and I promise you that they will be taken care of.", Ozpin said calmly. "I would say you have yourself a deal Headmaster Ozpin.", Bernardo said as extended his hand out to shake Ozpin's. Ruby had a big smile on her face and was happy she was not going to Beacon alone.
The Next Day
Ruby and Bernardo were the first ones onto the ship with other new students slowly starting to arrive. "Well that was a rough night, if I do say so myself.", Ruby said with an awkward smile. "It wasn't all that bad, I've had worse. Besides we're going to Beacon. This is going to be great.", Bernardo said with a big grin. "Wait this entire time you weren't upset about what Ozpin told you?", Ruby asked amazed. "No I was devastated when I heard that, but I'm not one to cry. So what if I was made to have these abilities, it's what I do with them that defines me.", he said with a warm smile.
"Well I just hope everything goes well for me.", Ruby said with a slight sadness in her voice. "Why would you say that Ruby?", Bernardo asked. "I've been moved up by two years, I don't want anyone to think I'm special. More importantly my friends are back at Signal.", she said with a frown. Bernardo could relate to her, there were many times he couldn't make friends because people were scared of his size. "Hey cheer up! I'm your friend now. I've got to count as like what three friends because I'm so big.", he said with a big laugh. This made Ruby started to laugh as well, "You know what you're right."
"Especially with this new gear I got from Ozpin.", he said as he stepped back and looked at himself. His burned clothes were discarded and replaced by new ones that made him feel comfortable.
He now wore a hoodie with a zipper that was indigo blue, the sleeves were slightly rolled up and he wore a new pair of black fingerless gloves. He was also wearing a pair of new pants that were brown. His new shoes matched his hoodie with indigo blue and black stripes. Finally he had shoulder armor on each one of his shoulders with the leather straps crossing his torso in a gladiatorial fashion. He puts his hands through his hair pushing it back and leaving a few curls hang in the front. "Muy guapo.", he said proudly. (Very Handsome.)
"Ruby?!", a loud feminine voice called out. Ruby and Bernardo turned to see a girl quickly walk up to them. Bernardo's eyes went wide, his mouth agape, and time seemed to have slowed to a crawl. In walked a teenage girl who wears a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow low-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs, there are two small golden buttons.
She wears a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner-like object. The same burning heart crest appears on this banner, except golden in color. She wears black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white asymmetrical back skirt.
Aside from an orange infinity scarf around her neck, she has no discernible jewelry. She wears brown knee-high platform boots that appear to be made of leather, with orange socks of different lengths. Her left leg also has a gray bandanna-like object wrapped around the top of her boot. She wears fingerless black gloves underneath her weapons, which resemble two yellow mechanized gauntlets with a black design. Her hair is a golden blonde and it hangs all the way down to her hips. Her eyes are a light purple, making Bernardo stare in amazement.
This young woman seems to make Bernardo stop in his tracks. He checks himself to make sure his clothes are straight. "What are you doing here?", the young blonde asks Ruby. "Hey Yang. Professor Ozpin accepted me and wants me to come to Beacon, because I tried to stop a dust shop from being robbed.", Ruby said with a big smile.
"Oh I can't believe my baby sister's going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!", Yang said as she hugged Ruby tightly. She had a big smile on her face. "Please stop.", Ruby said embarrassingly. Yang then looked up at Bernardo who was over a foot taller than her. The thing that stood out about this guy besides his size, was that he had two extra animal ears in top of his head. Her smile slowly disappeared and was replaced by a look of curiosity. "Ruby. Who's your giant friend?", Yang asked as she let Ruby go from the hug.
Bernardo was snapped back into reality and he looked at Yang. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bernardo Oso Guardián, my friends call me 'Big Bear'.", he said calmly with a small bow. He then reached out and gently grabbed her hand. "It's an honor to meet you señorita.", he said with a slightly suave manner. He then got down onto one knee and delicately kissed her hand. Yang was sort of stunned by this and had a light blush on her cheeks. Bernardo slowly stood back up and looked right back at Yang, their eyes locked.
"Ummm... Heeellllooo. Anyone in there? Yang! Bernardo!", Ruby said frantically. This snapped them out of their "trance". "Never met someone like you before.", Yang said as she rubbed the back of her neck with her arm. "I do my best to make a good first impression.", Bernardo said with a smile. "If all you wanted was a kiss Big guy all you had to do was ask.", Yang said as she placed her hands on her hips. "No a gentleman needs to earn a kiss, especially from a 'llama oro' such as yourself.", he said in his suave manner again.
"What does that mean?", she asked curiously. "It means 'golden flame'.", he said calmly. She looked at him and tilted her head slightly, and looked him up and down. "This is going to be an interesting year.", Yang said with a big grin. Bernardo could feel chills go down his spine from her look, this girl was something else. "He actually helped me stop the thieves, and he saved my life and a Huntress that stepped in to help.", Ruby said with a smile. "Ruby I take back what I was going to say, I thought you might the bees knees' when we get to Beacon. Though now I think that Bernardo here might be taking the spotlight.", Yang said as she slapped his back in approval.
Ruby pulled Bernardo down to her level and whispered into his ear, "Thank you, I don't do so good in the spotlight." "I like helping people. It's what I do.", Bernardo said with a smile. "Come on Ruby aren't you excited?", Yang asked her sister. "Of course I'm excited. I got moved ahead two years. I just don't want people to think I'm special or anything.", Ruby said with a sigh. Yang slowly walked up to Ruby and and put her arm around her and looked her in the eye. "But you are special.", Yang said as she gave her sister a warm smile. Ruby kept her small frown, but her sister's words had some affect.
Bernardo would have added to Yang's sentence, but the news seemingly got loudly and drew everyone's attention to the screens. "The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the Vale police department. Back to you, Lisa.", the newsman said. "So that's his name, better than white coat or leader I suppose.", Bernardo thought to himself.
"Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Right's protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted...", the Anchorwoman continued before the screen shut off. "Thank goodness, I don't want to feel like the elephant in the room.", Bernardo thought to himself.
The main screen then brought up a new image, in the image which turned out to be a video stood the Witch.
She stood with her hands behind her back and her tone sounding more welcoming than it did when she spoke last night after the robbery. "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!", the Witch said. Her voice slightly echoed through the ship, causing everybody to turn and face the screen. Yang was the only one to ask a question. "Who's that?", she asked. Her question was immediately answered. "My name is Gylnda Goodwitch.", Ms. Goodwitch said. "Oh", was all Yang could say before Ms. Goodwitch continued.
"You are among a privileged few have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsman 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.", Ms. Goodwitch said as her image faded from the screen.
"Wow!", Ruby said as she walked up to the windows. Yang smiled at this, Bernardo saw this and couldn't help but chuckle. Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the view that they could now see. They both walked next to Ruby and saw the amazing view. Ruby pointed towards a academy with students walking towards its front gates. "Look you can see Signal from up here!", she said in an excited tone and a big smile.
Her smile soon faded and her excited tone became sad. "I guess home isn't too far after all.", she said sadly. Yang put her arm on Ruby to cheer her up. "Beacon's our home, now.", said Yang. Bernardo walked up to the Ruby's left shoulder and looked down at his two new friends. "Ruby don't worry. Home is where the heart is. Whether you find it in yourself or from the people around you.", he said with a warm smile. This made Ruby smile just a little, before they they heard some odd noises.
Ruby, Yang, and Bernardo all turned their heads to see someone leaning against the window with hands around their mouth. A blond haired young man was having trouble keeping his breakfast down, and he clearly wasn't enjoying the view. He did his best to make his way towards the exit of the ship.
"Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone.", Yang said as the young man passed by. "It was a nice moment while it lasted.", Ruby said optimistically. "I hope he'll be alright.", said Bernardo. "I wonder who we're gonna meet.", Yang said changing the subject. "I just hope they're better than 'vomit boy'", said Ruby. "Hey. All we have to do is be nice and stay optimistic.", Bernardo said with a smile. "Oh, Yang, gross, you have puke on your shoe!", Ruby said frantically.
"Gross...gross...gross!", Yang started to repeat disgusted by her situation. Bernardo grabbed a white handkerchief from his pocket and got down onto one knee. "Hold still Yang. Let me clean it up for you.", He said calmly. He bent down and stuck his hand out to Yang. "Here allow me señorita.", Bernardo said in a gentle manner. Yang slowly gave him her leg. He soon wiped it clean of the vomit. "See was that so hard?", Bernardo asked.
Yang gave him a slight smile, "You can't just be this nice and get into Beacon. After I do a few things you and I going to fight. I want to see what you can do." Bernardo's reply was an awkward smile. He had never punched a girl before!
