Chapter 1: Dragon Out of Sky

"Hold on Jaune! We're almost there!" Ren gasped out, clutching the front of his stomach in agony as he staggered towards his longest friend.

The other boy was on his knees, head pressed against the floor, barely retaining consciousness. "I don't think I can make it Ren..." He strained, desperately trying to raise his head from the cold, metal floor.

Both were sweaty from exertion, their faces contorted with effort and obvious fatigue.

Jaune raised his head from the floor, blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Ren, promise me if I don't make it-"

"You will make it-"

"PROMISE ME!" He roared, baring his unnaturally sharp canines. "Promise me you'll… get…"

"SAY IT JAUNE! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO GET!?" He shook him by the shoulders, begging him to finish his request.

"A haircut..."

His head hit the ground with a thud, eliciting a groan from the blonde boy.

"You're a jerk"

"OH SWEET MERCIFUL OUM! GROUND!" Jaune stumbled out from the ship and immediately dropped, kissing and nuzzling the ground with his cheek.

His companion, who followed shortly after, dropped to his knees and while he understood why Jaune's feelings for the blessed commodity known as solid ground, he wasn't going to do that.

After being passed by all of the other prospective students on board, who gave them looks ranging from disgust to amusement, they eventually regained their equilibrium and were able to stand once more.

"We are never riding one of those ever again." Ren stated seriously.

"Seconded." Jaune muttered, his mood soured by his slightly upset stomach.

Ren stretched out his arms, his body covered in a gray shirt ripped at the forearms, and a pitch black cloak waving behind him. His pants were as black as his torso, his lower legs decorated with metal grieves and brown shoes. Wrapped up with a white piece of cloth was a kilt that covered both sides, the front, and the back with a rectangular cloth with an oddly shaped cross in the center.

"We need to find the auditorium where the Headmaster will be giving his introduction speech, it should be starting in about 20 minutes." Ren explained, glancing at the sky to locate the sun's position.

Jaune stretched out his muscles as well. He wore a white parka outlined with fur over his black compression shirt. Complimented by a white belt and white pants, wearing similar black grieves to his partner. "Do you know where it is? Or should we ask someone?"

Ren shrugged. "I don't have a map, it would probably be best for us to get directions."

The two inversely color schemed boys made their way towards the school, admiring the architecture and majesty of the fabled academy. They also watched as dozens of students walked by with various armor and weaponry, some the likes of which they had never even heard of before.

"I bet this place is crawling with strong people, I can't wait to fight them!"

Ren sighed. "Jaune we're here to learn to fight Grimm, not people."

Jaune pouted. "Who says I can't do both?"

"The laws of this land."

"Party pooper."

"Do you have any idea the damage you could have caused?!" A shrill voice pierced the air as both boys' advanced hearing betrayed them.

Ruby could only sheepishly rub her head as the white haired girl chewed her out. She hadn't meant to fall on her stuff! Yang was just being a meanie-head and ditched her!

"Do you have anything to say for yourself?!"

Ruby wanted to say sorry, she really did, but the dust she was waving around made her nose feel reallllllly itchy.

"Ah… Ah…"

Weiss's eyes widened as she realized the implication of the younger girl's idiocy and tried to shield her face.

"CHOO!"

Out of the corner of her eye a shadow appeared to moving towards her at high speeds, and suddenly, her feet left the ground and the sky entered her vision. She blinked at the clouds a few times, idly appreciating their tranquility.

"Are you okay?" Her head whipped to the side as her cobalt eyes locked with bright pink ones. And for a brief moment, she could only stare into them, mezmerised by their exoitc beauty, before reality came crashing back, and the color of her face matched his eyes.

"UNHAND ME THIS INSTANT!"

*SLAP*

"GAH!"

Ren carefully dropped her onto her feet before nursing his cheek, now glowing with a dainty red handprint.

"Hey!" Jaune stormed over to the white haired girl, glaring at her slightly. "What was that for! He just saved you!"

Weiss flushed in embarrassment as she realized that the pink eyed boy did indeed save her. It also didn't help that she felt so oddly comfortable in the process. "I-It's none of your concern!" She then quickly walked off towards the school, refusing to suffer any more humiliation.

Jaune glared at her retreating form before sighing. "I guess having white hair doesn't automatically mean you're awesome."

The girl on the floor, lying in her own personal crater adopted a curious expression. "Why would white hair make someone awesome?"

Jaune turned to her with a toothy grin. "Because who doesn't like white? It's definitely the best color ever!" He frowned as he gave her a quick once over. "So why were you trying to blow that girl up?"

"I'm fairly certain it was an accident." Ren walked over to the pair, his hand still rubbing his cheek.

The girl nodded frantically. "I didn't mean to! I think some dust got in my nose..." She looked down. "Plus my sister ditched me and I have no idea what I'm doing."

Jaune frowned, she seemed really sad. "Well then why don't you come with us!" He stuck out a hand to help her up. "We're trying to find the… What was it again Ren?"

"Audiotorium."

"Yeah! That thing!"

Ruby looked back and forth between the two boys, they seemed nice… but they also seemed a little weird. Wait a minute! She was a little weird! She took his hand and he hoisted her up.

"Thanks!" Her face contorted in thought. "Oh yeah! Uh… my name's Ruby" She gave them a smile.

Neither noticed the awkwardness of it however. "The name's Jaune, Jaune Arc!" He jutted a thumb at his chest, giving her a toothy smile.

"Lie Ren." He gave her a much more reserved smile.

Her smile grew more genuine, they seemed nice. "I have to introduce you to my sister later." She adopted a thoughtful expression. "But she said she didn't want me being friends with too many boys though… Eh I'm sure it's fine."

Jaune frowned. "Why would your sister care if you were friends with boys?"

Ren shrugged. "Perhaps it's what the old man referred to as 'Social Standards'."

"But those are confusing…" He whined.

Ruby nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I don't think I understand them that well either, or at least that's what Yang says." She grumbled to herself.

Both boys however had excellent hearing, and heard her clearly. But before either could ask who Yang was, Ruby gasped.

"Guys! We're gonna be late!" And suddenly she vanished in a swirl of rose petals. Both boys blinked as she reappeared by the entrance.

"C'mon c'mon c'mon we gotta go!" She said impatiently.

"Hey wait up!" Jaune ran after her, leaving a sighing Ren who followed shortly after.

"OH MY GOSH I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WA-" Her mouth was quickly covered by a hand.

"I'm excited too Nora." Her friend agreed with an indulgent smile on her face.

The two girls were walking towards their new school, idly chatting as they neared the main building.

"Yeah but I'm really really really excited, like, All-You-Can-Eat Breakfast Buffet excited!"

She smiled at the hyperactive girl. "What are you most excited about?"

Nora beamed. "I wanna make new friends, smash some grimm, eat some pancakes, break some legs-"

"I… think you might want to keep one of those to a minimum…"

"But I wanna make a lot of friends!" Her smile never wavering. "What are you looking forward to Pyrrha?"

The four time Mistral champion ignored the misunderstanding and thought about the question. "I think making new friends sounds grand!" She smiled at her best friend, who smiled back even brighter.

"Hmmmm… Have you seen anyone you wanna make friends with?"

Pyrrha thought about the question. So far she'd seen plenty of students, but none of them had really caught her eye. Well, maybe except for-

"What about the boys performing the play on the bullhead!"

Pyrrha laughed. "I don't think they were performing Nora, I'm fairly certain that was real."

The orangette's brows furrowed. "But why did they talk like they were dying?"

"I believe they had some form of motion sickness, maybe they just had it really bad?" Pyrrha suggested diplomatically, not wanting to talk bad about people she didn't even know.

Nora giggled. "At least they didn't vomit, that would've been gross."

Pyrrha nodded in agreement, the vehicle would've smelt horrible.

"Soooooooo... Where are we going?" Nora skipped in front of Pyrrha, walking backwards to look at her.

"We need to get to the auditorium, that's where the Headmaster will be giving his speech." Pyrrha informed the shorter girl. "I think I know where it is, I will lead us there."

"Okay!" Nora stepped into pace with her taller friend.

"Uh… Ren?"

"Yeah?"

"What are they doing?"

The two dragon slayers could only watch as a group of shirtless males play wrestled with each other, one had another in a headlock while a few others were rolling on the floor.

"I… have no idea."

Jaune hummed in confusion. "Is this one of those 'Social Standards'?

Ren eyes lit up in understanding. "Most likely, there's no other conceivable reason to be doing something like this."

Jaune smacked his fist into his hand. "Alright!" He threw off his shirt and turned to Ren. "Let's do this!"

Ren sighed but did the same. "Cities are so strange."

Both boys jumped at each other at the same time.

Yang yawned as she watched the unimpressive display of teenage guys play wrestling, looking glancing often towards the girl's side of the room, hoping they were watching. However, she spared a laugh at two of the admittedly hotter guys who were looking at the scene confused.

One had black hair and pink eyes, standing probably just under 6 feet tall. He seemed to be talking to his friend, and probably the best looking guy in the room.

He had unruly blond hair, she doubted he ever styled it, but unstyled was a style of its own anyway. His bright blue eyes looking adorably confused, which did not match his almost feral good looks. And he stood a good few inches over six feet, bonus. Then, much to Yang's surprise and delight, he flung off his shirt, revealing his abs, Monty Oum his abs.

Half of the girls stopped what they were doing and immediately looked over to the spectacle, his abs looked as though they were chiseled out of solid marble. The other one seemed more reluctant but copied his friend, and while he wasn't quite as bulky as the blonde. His lean figure revealed a just as impressive set of abs. Then, much to the surprise of most people in the room, they pounced on each other.

But unlike the mild wrestling the other boys were doing, they were fighting tooth and nail.

"HA!" The blonde boy eventually managed to throw the other against the wall, a spiderweb crack forming on impact.

"Tch." The other boy then vanished into thin air, much to the surprise of the other's in the room.

"What the- OOF!" He reappeared behind the blue eyed boy and kicked him square in the back, sending him flying into the same place he was just thrown.

He shot to his feet angrily. "Hey! I thought we weren't going to use our powers!"

Ren smirked. "I never said that."

Jaune growled. "Well how about this!" His right hand began to glow. "LIGHT DRAGON'S REPULSING FI-"

His sentence was cut off as he was flung into the wall at unprecedented speeds, almost shattering it. Silence reigned over the rest of the students, as they stared at the woman who had just entered the room.

"Do you have any explanation for this?" She yelled angrily, wanting to know how they could cause such a ruckus before the first day even began.

Ren looked at the Headmaster's deputy confused. "I thought this is what we were supposed to be doing?"

She looked at him, half incredulous and half irate. "What could possibly give you that idea?!"

Jaune, much to her surprise, had recovered rather quickly. "Other people were doing it, and we couldn't figure out why so we thought we should join them." He explained, rubbing his sore temple as he walked up to the Huntress.

Glynda mentally facepalmed as she realized exactly who these two were. That coffee addict of a Headmaster had admitted two students who had never even seen a city into their school. Two country bumpkins who were barely civilized, into the heart of one of the biggest cities on Remnant at a school for the future protectors of life. Where he found them she would never know, nor did she want to.

But they were still her students, and she would make them learn, one way or another.

"There will be no fighting unless instructed to… Understand?" As her glare intensified both boys nodded their head fervently, realizing just then that her anger was something to be avoided at all costs.

"Good, now go to sleep." She glared at all of the students. "Now." Within seconds every student was laying down, some snoring obnoxiously in an attempt to make it seem like they were already asleep.

"Hmph." She walked out of the room with a satisfied smirk. Maybe they wouldn't be so hard to teach after all.

"Where did they go?" Yang slumped her head, depressed.

Ruby patted her back. "I'm sure they'll turn up somewhere soon." Her gaze turned curious. "Why do you wanna meet them so bad anyway? They were nice but they weren't that nice."

"You'll understand when you're older Ruby."

She stuck her tongue at her sister. "I'm only two years younger than you, plus I'll grow up fast! I drink milk!" She declared, as if that answered everything.

Yang laughed. "Never change Rubes." She scanned the crown once more, hoping to find the ab- blonde boy from last night.

"Hey, isn't that the girl you almost blew up yesterday?" Yang pointed to the head of white hair a ways away.

Ruby went rigid and slumped into her hood. "Don't be so loud Yang, I don't want her to notice me…" She did her best to disappear into the cloak.

Yang laughed and grabbed her sister's arm. "Don't be such a drama queen, c'mon let's go apologize!" Much to Ruby's dismay, she couldn't escape the vice grip on her forearm.

"What's going on guys!" Yang waved as she walked up to the three girls. One was the white haired girl her adorable little sister almost blew up. An almost as adorable orange haired girl. And a really tall redhead that seemed kinda familiar.

The would-be explosion victim cleared her throat. "Before I was interrupted." She glared pointedly at Yang who shrugged. "I was just coordinating my te-YOU!" Her glare intensfied as she realized who the blonde had with her.

"AH IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!" Ruby hid behind her sister, peeking out to assess the danger in front of her.

Yang sighed and dragged her sister in front of her, much to her displeasure. "Come on Rubes, apologize."

"Uh… I'm really sorry… Uh… What's your name?" Yang facepalmed and Nora giggled.

"Weiss." She grounded out through her grit teeth.

"Uh Weiss… I'm sorry for almost blowing you up?"

Nora tilted her head to the side. "How did you almost get blown up?"

Weiss huffed. "This child sneezed on some fire dust I was holding."

"How did you avoid the explosion?" Pyrrha asked curiously.

Ruby perked up. "Lie saved her!"

"Somehow that might have been worse." Weiss muttered to herself, her cheeks slightly lighter than the rest of her face.

Nora looked confused. "What kind of name is Lie?"

"I go by Ren actually." The group of girls turned around to find the two boys from last night who had already earned one of the teacher's ire.

"Hi Ren!" Nora chirped, waving at him with a smile.

He looked startled by the action but responded in kind. "Hello." He waved back, smiling as well.

Weiss looked away, hoping not to make eye contact while Ruby smiled and waved. "Hi Ren, hi Jaune!"

Jaune toothily grinned back. "Hey Ruby! What are you guys talking about?"

Ruby cringed slightly. "Uh… Actually we were just gonna start talking about teams right? Weiss didn't you say you were coordinating yours?" She pleaded, desperately hoping to change the subject.

Weiss calmed herself, deciding that the apology was the best she was going to get and sighed. "Before I was so rudely interrupted, I was just coordinating our team with Pyrrha."

"Uh, which one of you is Pyrrha?" Jaune asked, looking between the crowd while Ren facepalmed.

"That would be me." Said redhead chirped, giving him a polite smile.

"Nice to meet ya! I'm Jaune!" Jaune stuck his hand out for a handshake, as both Pyrrha, Weiss, and Nora looked surprised at the action.

When she didn't shake his hand Jaune frowned and turned to his counterpart. "Uh, was I supposed to do something else here?" He whispered.

Ren frowned. "I believe an introduction and a handshake is correct here, this is the first time it hasn't worked..." He whispered back, just as confused.

"Should I try the other thing?" Jaune asked, slightly urgently as things were getting awkward.

Ren sighed. "Normally I would never encourage you to follow his advice, but I have no better alternatives."

Jaune turned back to the group who were all still staring at him and stared the champion dead in the eye. "My name's Jaune, but you can call me tonight." He finished, completely stone faced.

Dead silence.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yang fell to the floor, tears pooling in her eyes as she held her midsection, Nora doing something similar.

Ruby was doing her best not to guffaw, shoving her fist in her mouth in an attempt to stifle it.

Weiss stared at the blue eyed boy, mouth agape as her eyebrow began to twitch.

Pyrrha's brain had effectively shut down, and when it rebooted, her face went as red as her hair. She started stammering incoherently, but luckily was saved by the intercom.

"Would all first year students please report to Beacon cliff for initiation? Again, all first year students report to Beacon immediately."

Pyrrha had given up on trying to respond and simply speed walked towards the cliff, face still burning bright red. Nora had eventually regained her breath and skipped after her, still giggling slightly.

Jaune sighed. "That didn't work either." He turned his head to the side when he felt an arm around his shoulder.

"No, it didn't." Yang agreed. "But I have a feeling you and I are going to be great friends." She gave him a flirtatious wink.

"Yaaaaaaang stop being gross~." Ruby complained.

"She's not being gross, all she said was that she wanted to be friends." Jaune put an arm around her back. "I think we're gonna be good friends too!" He gave her his trademark toothy grin, which almost made her blush, almost.

"Hopeless, all of you are absolutely hopeless." Weiss muttered, storming off in the direction of the cliffs.

Ruby sighed. "She still hates me."

"She seems rather cold." Ren agreed.

Yang snorted. "Was that a pun pink eyes?"

Ren's eyebrow twitched at the remark. "No, it wasn't."

"Ha! Pink eyes! Good one!" Jaune laughed.

Yang's grin turned teasing. "Thanks tall, blonde, and oblivious."

Jaune scowled. "Oh yeah? Well, you're welcome, uh… Short, blonde, and big chested!" He finished, grinning proudly at his insult.

Yang stared at him, dumbstruck, before falling over with laughter once more, pointing at him all the while.

Ruby sighed and grabbed her sister by the arm, dragging her towards the cliffs as she laughed hysterically.

Ren sighed. "Fitting in might be a lot harder than I anticipated."

"I think you might be right about that." Jaune agreed, staring at the smaller girl pulling her sister away.

I changed Jaune from the "White Dragon Slayer." to the "Light Dragon Slayer." Because it sounds and feels a lot better in my opinion. Also, this fic is not meant to be taken too seriously, it's mostly just a feel good comedy story with most of the conflict and drama not exactly nailbiting. But hey, if you want a story that doesn't give you an impending sense of doom for the main character(s) you've come to the right place!
