Chapter 1: Wrong Faunus at the right place at the right time

POV: Aaron Nights

I was on my way to 'Dust Till Dawn' to pick up red and blue dust to refill my Brother's Keeper (A single katana that had the ability to use dust)

On the way there I heard a small child crying for help when I got to the scene, I was on the verge of killing someone, The boy who was crying was a faunus just like me, and two guys were ripping his cat ears off. "It's alright you freak, we're just helping you fit in" one man said laughing the whole time. "Yea you should be thanking us you fucking freak, what good are you in the world" the other man said. I wanted to help, but I was able to hide my wolf side with a belt tieing my tail and a hat covering my ears. All I could do was walk away with shame knowing that kid would be scarred for life.

'Why did humans hate us?' I started asking myself. 'What made our kinds different other than the animal features' I felt anger growing inside of me. I looked up at the shattered moon "I want peace, I want to be treated with respect for who I am, I needed to be a hunter" I whispered to myself

Most combat schools around don't accept faunus' and for the one's that do we weren't allowed to train with the humans. When I met a blacksmith named Kyle Mason he helped me form my Brother's keeper and the best part about Kyle. He made me realize I wanted to be a hunter. Kyle got me a teacher and master to help get me credits and use my sword. When I told my dad about this he said "My son wanting to be a hunter, I couldn't be more proud of you. But what school would you go to?" he said. That one question stuck in my head. 'Who would want a freak like me?'

When I got to the shop the window in front busted open with a girl in a red cloak kicking a tug through it. Then I see him, Roman Torchwick the lord of all crimes. 'What was he doing attacking a girl?' But to be fair this girl has a pretty bad ass scythe with a built in sniper rifle. As I was thinking I notice that a group of men surrounded the girl. Without a second of hesitation I pulled out my weapon and jumped in next to her.

"Umm, Hi" the short girl said looking at me trying to see if I'm on her side or not. "Hey, mind telling me why you are getting attacked by one of the world's largest crime lords?" I said as we were watching the group of people waiting to attack. Before we could continue the thugs started to attack us. We quickly started to take them out one by one. One jumped in the air trying to use the momentum to increase his attack damage, but failed when the girl shot the man mid air. Using the dust I had left I was able to freeze three of the remaining thugs left. Finishing up the rest of them me and the girl turn our sights to the crime lord Torchwick. Instead of looking displeased he was actually smiling

"Well you all were worth every cent really you were, But sorry kids this is where we part ways" Roman said rising his cane and aiming at us. "Ha what a bunch of dumb kids trying to play hero." he shoots his weapon and forces us to scatter. During the chaos Torchwick slipped away to the roof of an apartment building across the street.

"Hey you ok if we go after him" The girl asked the worried owner. He simply nods "Alright Let's go umm?" The girl looks at me. "Aaron Nights nice to meet you." I wanted to introduce myself first to break the ice. "Oh I'm Ruby Rose pleasure to meet you." After a handshake we were off to stop Torchwick.

"Hey stop" Ruby yelled as we approached the man.

"Ah, why are kids so stupid nowadays. Aren't you suppose to be in bed little girl and aren't you a suppose to take a girl out to a movie, and not a fight." The Criminal started to joke around as an aircraft came up behind him. "But hell at least you two can share a grave" He laughed out as he threw a red crystal at Ruby's feet and aimed his cane at it.

"Shit, Ruby move!" I screamed out to her, but she didn't seem to understand and before Torchwick shot the crystal I tackled her down and out of the way. During that moment though the crime lord escaped and the worst part of all my hat came off and I didn't notice.

"Oh my god Aaron?" Ruby said quietly. As I look at her face and tried to look for any injuries. "Ruby are you hurt" I asked while I was still looking for blood. Then I realized my hat was on the ground and Ruby's hand was petting my ears. "Umm, Ruby I know what this looks like but it's not I'm ah..." I stopped mid sentence trying to come up with a lie. "These are so cute" Ruby said with joy still playing with my ears. before I could speak I heard someone coming up to the roof.

'Clap, Clap, Clap' we both turn our heads around to see an old man clapping with a smile on his face. "Well you two and me are going to have a small chat." Before we knew it we were in a car with the man.

After ten minutes we were placed in a room with some water and heat. Ruby was still playing with my ears and I would usually kill anyone who touched them, but with this night being rough already I couldn't get mad at her. Plus her hands feel so good on my ears.

The man walked in with a screen with the film of me and Ruby fighting the guys that stole from the dust shop. Ruby was still rubbing my ears but broke the silence "So why are we here?". I was surprised that she was getting straight to the point.

The man sat in front of us sipping his coffee "Well do you know who I am?" He asked calmly "Your Professor Ozpin the headmaster of Beacon" Ruby replied. "Well Miss Rose and Mister Night I would like to invite you both to my school."

"Are you joking? Why would you invite two kids that you don't even know to come to a high class school." I said shocked. "No and to answer your other question. Do you have the dream and drive to help everyone and fight for whats right?" He simply says.

"It's my dreams to go to your school sir! My sister is leaving tomorrow for Beacon" Ruby said in joy and she sadly stopped rubbing my ears.

"What about you Aaron you'll come to beacon to right?" She starts giving me puppy eyes I flicked her in the head. "I'm a wolf faunus so that doesn't work on me, But yes I am going to beacon. So people can see even a faunus can make a difference in life." Ruby's face was lit with joy as she started to play with my ears some more. "But wait will I be separated because of my race?" Professor Ozpin smirked for a sec "No at Beacon all students are treated with equal rights to learn." With that I noded my head and accepted his offer.

"Welcome to Beacon You Two" Ozpin stated.
