So this will obviously be an AU and thus here's the details:
The Schnee Dust Company is not that discriminative towards Faunus, treating them equally as humans. But there is still racism among society, thus the White Fang still exists but targets government figures and occasionally Schnee dust carriers (to refill dust supplies and Cinder plan). Every character is the same as before, Blake was member then run away, Cinder get part of Amber and hungry for more, and yada yada yada. But of course Ruby and Yang aren't the same, and Weiss is a little wary of Faunus but still hates the White Fang. Weiss and Blake's teammates are Penny (who was sent to see if she could blend in) and Melanie (No specific reason). These events happens right after Blake's (and also Penny's) revelation and of course everything else will be different.
So that's that, if there are any questions about the details, then just ask; I probably left something out.
Down in one of the mines of the Schnee Dust Company were several workers working away at the stone walls with every type of mining tool available. A big drill sat in the middle of the tunnel, the driver waiting for the sign to drill more into the depths of the earth. Meanwhile other miners, with handheld mining tools, dug smaller holes trying to find dust ores within the area.
Two workers were chipping away at the walls, trying to find at least one dust crystal ore to haul back. Shane was the larger and more alethic of the two, his large muscles and scarred bear ears showed signs of his strength. However he lacked the amount of speed to compensate, the slow powerful strikes of his large pickaxe indicated. Samuel was the smaller of the two, despite having no ears, there was a mouse tail that jutted out, swishing back and forth. His eyes darted all over the place as he held the small drill, trying to find a sign of dust.
"You think we'll ever find any dust here!?" Samuel yelled over the loud noises of the drill.
Shane just shrugged before going back to his rhythm of using the pickaxe. Shane was a man of few words, barely speaking unless necessary. Thus he used gestures as answers to smaller questions, only using words when the question required him to speak. Before Samuel could ask him something again, a dull gleam caught his eye. Near the drill was a sliver of yellow, which continued to grow as Samuel drilled near the area. The earth final gave in, revealing many more yellow dust ores near the first one Samuel found.
"Quick! Get the crates, I think we found the jackpot!" Nodding, Shane grabbing a nearby box and started to collect the dust as well as lend a hand. However the drill gave in, making a hole of empty space. Curious, the two workers began to make a bigger hole (while also collecting the dust dropped) until the earth gave in and revealed a cavern. Stunned, the workers walked into the cavern to investigate.
The cavern was covered in various types of dust. Red, blue, white, yellow, and many other colors filled the otherwise dark cavern with a dim colorful gleam. However the main eye catcher was the huge boulder in the middle. Imprinted in the boulder were two statues seemingly carved into the large chunk of stone. Both statues were both female and wore a bra style article of clothing and thongs. However both were polar opposites in appearance and expression.
The first of the statue was petite and slender, having a childlike and innocent appearance. She was posed as if trying to impress observers but, at the same time, hide herself from onlookers. In addition to her clothes, there was a thin outline that suggested that she was wearing a cape.
The second one, however, had a more voluptuous and broad figure. As if to flaunt her beauty and figure, the statue wrapped an arm around the top of her head and another just underneath her breasts, making them seem even bigger than ever. The only other article of clothing were two gauntlets that was on both hands of the statue. Her expression was one of smug confidence, as if taunting other females with her body.
The thing that stood out however was the mask held by the first one. It had a somewhat masculine face; eyeholes sharp and somewhat slanted. It has a small mouth in either a neutral position or a slight smile; with full lips, and small fangs resting on the bottom lip. A ridge emerges from the bottom of the forehead, running vertically to the Mask's top, joining with another ridge extending into a spiral resting on the left of its forehead. There was also a raised depression on the forehead, indicating that something was to be put in there.
The two Faunus workers stared at the out of place statues and started to approach them.
"You think this is a room made by ancient civilization?" Shane asked looking around the room marveling at the large amount of dust around them.
"Nah, if it was them then there would be some sort of carvings or signs indicating that ancient people made this room." Samuel looked around the cavern "Though it is unusual for there to just be a hollow area filled with Dust, including those two girls over there." He jabbed a finger at the bolder in the middle.
Finally reaching the two statues, both leaned in to take a closer look. Up close, the statues were extremely life like. If color was applied, one could genuinely assume that there were two girls up ahead. Circling around large rock, there was no other feature and its appearance was just like a boulder. Back to the front, Samuel adopted a mischievous face before reaching toward the large woman's chest. Shane raised an eyebrow at his partner's action in which Samuel just raised his eyebrows up and down.
However the moment he touched the statue's chest, his expression turned to confusion then fear. Frantically he began tugging his arm, Shane raised an eyebrow then turned to the statue itself to reveal a shocking sight. Slowly but surely, Samuel's arm was submerging into the statue and from Samuel's expression, he couldn't tug it out.
"Shane! Do something!" Samuel screamed as he started to get pulled in by the statue itself. Shane nodded and took a hold of Samuel's arm and pulled. However instead of his arm being pulled free, instead Samuel's screams grew louder as a sickening crack rang out; indicating that his arm was dislocated instead.
Panicked, Shane ran out of the cavern, leaving Samuel screaming for him to come back. Just he was about to think that he was dead, a new burst of pain erupted in his shoulder and he howled in agony. He rolled around in a rapidly growing pool of blood as Shane held a bloody pickaxe. Wasting no time, he carried his now one armed companion and both hobbled out of the cavern.
Shane rapidly murmured to himself as Samuel started to pass out from blood loss.
"Got to report this…living statues…traps…doesn't matter…somethings wrong with them…"
If the two workers were not overcome with panic and observing, then they would have seen the corners of the second statue's mouth curl up. There was a slight slurping sound as the pool of blood around the statue's feet shrank until there was not a single drop of blood left. The sound of silence once again filled the cavern as the two statues stood in the middle, undisturbed.
A/N: Well, that was an awkward start, but still another story, yay! Yeah…

Ok.
So if you have any comments or criticism, then just say it. I would really appreciate it.
