Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.
The gems in the image glow green and fade to show simple pictures of a man rising from the earth before being surrounded by creatures, barely held back by warriors.
Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.
Black sets in, then suddenly lessens as a light grows brighter and brighter until a gem rises from it and lowers itself into the hands of man.
However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds.
The scene zooms out to show men shooting lightning, raising swords, and aiming rifles at the retreating beasts as a castle appears behind them
This power was appropriately named "Dust". Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.
The castle zooms out to show a map of Remnant, which houses other buildings until they disappear in flashes of white and the map is lowered to show the scattering moon over a city at night.
But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return.
A man with orange hair and a bowler hat with a white jacket on is walking with a set of goons behind him.
So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.
The men are walking through the streets, everyone getting out of their way. Except one. It's a boy. He was wearing a red hoodie with black sleeves. At the bottom of the hoodie (That ended right at the small of his back) were black flames. Same for the end of the sleeves except the flames were red. The hoodie is opened to reveal an orange t-shirt with a symbol on it underneath. The symbol is that of a fox's head with nine similar shaped lines surrounding the head in the form of a spiral. He's wearing black pants with a three orange lines going down each side. He's wearing a backpack with chains as the straps. On the four corners of the of the backpack are cylinders. The odd thing is that he's not wearing any footwear. He's completely barefoot. The most notable feature is the burnt orange tail swishing occasionally.
He's not really paying attention to the people around him. He bumps into one of the goons.
The goon scowls at him. The boy merely holds his hand up in apology but he never stops walking. The goon glares at his back but lets it go and continues on to his destination. "Damn Faunus," He muttered to himself.
They are heading towards a store called "Dust Til Dawn".
But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul.
"Hey this isn't the pet store," One of the goons said suspiciously.
"I lied we're not going to the pet store," The man in white admitted
All of the minions groaned in complaint.
"Can we at least stop by the pet store on the way home," Another goon spoke up
"No," The leader said.
"But I want a dog," The first goon whined.
"I'll buy you a dog when I know your responsible enough to take care of it,"
"But how can I show you I'm responsible if you never get me one,"
"Look everyone shut up!"
"If he gets a dog can I get a parrot?" Another one spoke up
"Shut up"
The men enter the shop, the camera lowering to a young girl wearing a red cloak in the corner of the shop, reading a weapons magazine.
The men look around at the dust crystals that are stocked up.
The man in the bowler hat looks at the old manning the counter.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" He says with fake humor in his voice. One of the goons proceed to point his gun at the old man. He cocks it.
Line Break
The boy from earlier stops and looks up. He turns his head slightly.
Line Break
"P-please! Just take my Lien and leave!" The old man pleads.
"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down, we're not here for your money," The man in white says reassuringly. He suddenly turns serious and turns his head slightly to speak to the goons. "Grab the Dust."
The goons then split off and begin to empty the wall canisters filled with Dust.
"Crystals. Burn. Uncut," The man in white says to the old man pointing inside the display case. The old man simply opens the case and begins handing the Crystals over.
'This is such bullshit I wanted to feed the turtles,' A goon thought angrily.
the goon goes for another tube, he hears the muted 'This Will Be the Day' song from the girl's direction, and unsheathes his sword.
Line Break
The boy continues to look over his shoulder. Having not moved an inch. He then turns around.
Line Break
The goon walks toward the girl in the red hood. He touches her shoulder to get her attention. She turns around to look at him.
The girl has short black, red tinted hair, and silver eyes. She has a pair of earphones on with the song playing. He motions for her to take them off. She follows his example.
"Yes?" She asks.
"I said put your hands in the air now,"
"Wait…are you…..robbing me?" The girl asks. The men nods clearly irritated. "So let me get this straight. You came over here with a sword in hand. Threated me. And expect me to just stand here while you take all my stuff?"
The man just continued to scowl at her.
"I see…."
The man in white is waiting for his men to finish the heist when a "Hey!" and "Hyah!" are heard, and the threatening goon flies past him. Roman calmly motions for another to handle the problem.
The goon run towards the girl.
"Freeze!"
Line Break
CRASH!
The goon is kicked through the window. The girl flying right behind him. The leader and the other goons look through the window.
The girl in red hood slowly rises up. She's holding something in her hand. The item begins to expand and transform. Soon she is holding a red scythe in her hand.
The leader scowls at her. She smirks back at him.
She twirls the scythe in her hands and slams it down into the ground. At some point she had taken off her headphones which she was holding in her right hand. She clicks it to stop the music.
Line Break
'Ok I give that a 10,' the boy thought to himself. 'And did she willfully slow down the wind on her cape,'
Line Break
'That's right I willfully slowed down the wind on my cape,' The girl thought to herself. 'How do you like that!'
"Okayyy," The leader says. He looks towards the rest of his goons. "Get her,"
The goons charged
Line Break
While this had gone on the boy had gained a grin. The four cylinders on his backpack popped off and snaked around his arms and legs revealing chains. The cylinders attach themselves to his fists and feet. They morph into a pair of gauntlets and boots. The gauntlets cover from his fingers to his forearms. (Imagine Tsuna's vongola gear cambio form except Instead of red they are black but the flames are still the same except they're glowing orange. The Symbol on the back of the hand is not there. The part of the fingers that are white are red and the part that are the thrusters are where the chains are connected to the backpack. A friend of mine is an artist and they said they'll draw the weapons for me and when they do I'll post them on my page so you can have a more accurate picture. For the boots imagine iron man boots except The red part is black and the gold parts are glowing orange. When I say glowing orange I mean like a lightbulb. Like energy)
"Finally," He whispered. "I get to have some fun," With that final thought he ran to join in with the fray.
Line Break
'Why do these things happen to you Ruby,' The girl in the red hood now revealed to be Ruby thought mentally.
Ruby was peeved. When she had come into town she had a simple plan. Get some dust and some new spring guard parts for her Scythe Rifle, Crescent Rose. The current weapon she was using to beat the crap out of these thugs at the moment. She got the parts and she had gone to get the dust.
She had gotten sidetracked with the new weapons catalogue. She had time to kill and she was in a dust shop that she knew closed late. She had time to get the dust so what was the harm in reading the catalogue for a little while.
'Apparently dealing with thugs was the problem,' She thought humorlessly. 'There sure are a lot of them,' she analyzed as she procced to do a front flip and slam a goon that she had hooked her weapon into his shirt and proceeded to slam him into the ground.
She looked up to see three more goons aiming their guns at her. 'If I miss curfew dads gonna kill me,' She began to shoot the rifle part so as to be pushed in different directions. She noticed the horizontal pole. She shot herself towards it. She used the arc of the Scythe to spin and be catapulted towards the shooters. Her feet made contact with one of the goons faces.
She proceeded to jump off of him and did the same to the other two shooters. Another goon comes in from her side. She turns Crescent Rose slightly and fires. She uses the momentum to spin and hit the goon with the butt of her weapon sending him flying.
She fires again and brings the side down on another attacker and dodges the next ones' gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to the boss's feet.
She looks towards the remaining goons and charges at them.
Line Break
"See what I mean about being responsible," The man says to the goon at his feet. "How do you expect to take care of a dog when you can't take care of a little girl with a giant dangerous weapon that's twice the size she is,"
"I can play fetch with it," The goon groans out
"Can you play fetch with a little girl?"
"Nooo," The goon whimpers.
"There you go,"
Line Break
'How many of these guys are there,' Ruby thought as she continued to fight off the goons. 'Well it's not like there tough, so this isn't so bad,' At a later time Ruby would look back at this moment and think. Many different things would be thought of but her first thought would be.
'Why,'
She had sensed it.
The was this foreboding that told her to be aware. The she knew what it was.
She turned to guard a punch that would have hurt had it hit. The face of the attacker was hidden. His weapon of choice seemed to be gauntlets.
'Just like Yang. Great' Ruby though sarcastically. 'Well at least I know what to prepare for somewhat,'
She pushed the assailant back and fired a round from Crescent Rose so as to gain momentum. Just like she did to the last person. However, she would go low instead of high.
Fist fighter have weak defense when it comes to their legs.
This had been her sisters' words of wisdom during their spars. Get the person off their feet and they were a sitting duck. At least that's how it was supposed to go.
She had succeeded in tripping the attacker. As expected their leg defense seemed to be weak. As expected they went down. As expected they landed on their back did a spin and eventually got their hands under them and did a split with their feet to kick her in the face.
Wait what?
She had just barely managed to dodge the kick.
'Ok what just happened,' Ruby thought. The person in front of her was doing a hand stand with their legs in a full split in the air. What the hell?
The person pushed of their hands and landed on their feet. As they did so their hood fell off. It was a boy roughly the same age as her. He had tanned skin with 3 whisker marks on each of his cheeks his eyes were a startling blue. He was wearing a pair of snow goggles on his forehead. His had spikey blonde hair and the tips were red. He had this excited look on his face.
Was he enjoying this?
She noticed that his feet were covered with very obvious weaponized boots.
'Great, so he fights with his fists and feet,' Her uncle had told her that it was rare to find someone that fought with their feet primarily. And even rarer to find someone that was good at it.
It seemed like this guy was the type that could fight with hands or feet without a problem.
As she kept analyzing she noticed the chains that connected to the gauntlets and boots. They wrapped around his arms and legs and connected to something on his back. But what made her wary the most was the orange glowing parts.
Plus, that dark ominous feeling that was coming from him. She didn't know what it was but all of her insects were yelling at her to either kill him or get away from him.
She had no time to think as he charged back at her. She got ready to attack. She started firing shots to ward him off. He just kept running and would occasionally lift his arms as if to block the shots. Suddenly he jumped in the air and landed on Crescent Rose.
'Oh that little…," Ruby's thought ended as he jumped again. It looked like he was aiming for her. She braced herself.
He flew past her and hit the goons that were behind her. Oh yeah they were still back there.
"Back off you, extras," The boy shouted. "She's mine,"
Now Ruby wasn't sure why she did it. Maybe because her night was not what she planned for, maybe because this guy attacked her and used Crescent Rose as a spring. Maybe because he called her his.
Either way this guy did kind of deserve it. She adjusted Crescent Rose in her hand and swung. She hit the guy and he slammed into a wall. The goons looked on with shock.
"Hey!" The boy shouted. "What was that for,"
"Stop acting like you don't know!" Ruby shouted back.
"I just helped!"
"After attacking me!" Ruby countered. "Out of nowhere I might add!"
"You should be thanking me for helping," The boy snarled. "You would have lost otherwise,"
"Says who!"
"Says me!"
The goons watched the argument unfold like a match of tennis. They soon got out of there stupor and decided to take out both of them.
"Hey!" one goon called. "Leave here or else,"
"Shut Up!"
Ruby had swung he scythe lifting them all up before they fell. Before they could hit the ground the boy had gotten up. He jumped at the goons. He punched the first one which collided with the next one who hit the next one. Etc.
They were all unconscious.
That's when Ruby remembered the leader. She looked around and noticed him heading up a louder. 'Why did he wait so long,'
She immediately gave chase.
Line Break
"Now stay down you pricks," the boy commanded to the unconscious goons. "now back to you, you-little-where'd ya go," It took a moment for the boy to realize she was no longer there. He looked up to see her going up a louder. "Oh you're not getting away that easily," the boy growled before following.
Line Break
Ruby had landed on the roof and noticed that the leader was just standing there.
"You ah, you going anywhere?" Ruby asked a bit confused.
"huh," the leader said. "Kind of expected my ride to be here waiting for me-oh shit," He shouted as a ship popped up. "Why were you in the street?"
"Sorry I saw a bikers race coming and I couldn't resist," A distorted voice said over the speaker. "you should have seen it they went down like bowling pins,"
"Hey that's just like what I did to your guys," A voice from behind Ruby shouted. Her and Roman turned to see the boy on the roof now as well.
"Ohh now that ok, if there's anyone who knows and can appreciate a good burn it's me" the distorted voice claimed.
"Just shut up and get us out of here," The leader said as he got on the pelican. (I'm calling it a pelican deal with it.)
"Hey Red, Flame-Brain" the leader shouted. He took a red Crystal out and tossed it at Ruby's feet "Fetch,"
Ruby and the boy looked down at the crystal.
"Huuh," The boy said.
"That was a weird gesture to leave o-," Ruby began only to be cut off by the leader shooting the Crystal causing it to explode.
"I guess you can teach a little girl how to play fetch," the leader said smugly.
It was silent for moment.
"What," the distorted voice said.
"You had to have been there," he said quickly.
As he looks on he notices a third silhouette in the smoke.
A blonde haired woman in a purple cape is now in front of Ruby and the boy, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. As Ruby looks on, the woman waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where a woman in red, her face unseen, is struggling with the controls.
"We got a Huntress," the leader tells to the pilot. The pilot gets up and the leader takes her place to drive.
The woman in purple cast's a storm over the aircrafts and makes it hail.
The woman reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at the three on the roof.
"Oooh a good burn," The boy said in understanding. "Yeah ok I just got that,"
The woman fires the blast. The, Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. The blonde back-flips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and magically gathers the shards to create a large arrow, which she throws at the craft.
The fiery woman shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it reforms just in time to hit the side of the jet due to Roman's quick aerial lean. The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the jet, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy most of the shards.
Ruby, finally acting, reverts her scythe into its rifle form to fire at the woman. The boy deciding to help jumps in the air and begins hitting the remaining shards at the woman.
The woman easily blocks their efforts. She then forms a circle around each of her opponents. The woman in purple telekinetically pushes Ruby and rolls herself out of the explosion's radius. The boy still in the air gets in a fetal position and for a brief moment begins to glow before his circle explodes; The woman looks up to see the hatch close and the craft fly away.
Ruby looks towards the third explosion. Something begins falling through the smoke. The woman holds out her whip so to levitate the boy but it proves unnecessary. The boy lands on his feet and dust's himself off.
"Well that was fun," He muttered. He turned and it seemed that the girl was fangirling over the older woman. "So when can we do that again,"
"You!" the girl screamed before jumping at the boy. She tackled him and the began to roll in a ball of sorts. Pretty soon they were nothing but a dust cloud with limbs.
"What, you wanna go!'
"This is your fault!"
"Bring it!"
"They got away because of you!"
"Did you just bite me!"
"Hey! Where are you touching!"
"Ahem!"
The dust cloud immediately disappeared. When it cleared it revealed Ruby and the boy tangled together. Ruby had a fist an inch away from her face while her hands were around the boy's neck.
They looked at the woman with curiosity in their eyes.
"What," they said simultaneously.
Line Break
The two teens were now seated next to each other.
"Look I had nothing to do with them I swear,"
"Oh I believe you," The woman now identified as Glynda Goodwitch said. "I'd be shocked to find out that you two helped a group of men neither of you know commit a heinous act late at night in an alley way,"
"Or as you like to call it Wednesday night," The boy said jokingly. The whip hit his hand before he realized it. "OW!"
"Hehe," Ruby laughed. She got hit a second later. "OW," she moaned.
"Geeze lady it was a joke," The boy said.
"Does it look like I'm taking this lightly,"
"Well you are better at taking it hard," The boy retorted. WHAP! "OW! Ok I'll stop"
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back..." Glynda said. A smile came to Ruby's face.
'Wait for it,' The boy thought.
."..And a slap on the wrist. She brings her whip down once again and hits Ruby's hand.
"Ow!" Ruby cried. 'Called it," the boy snickered internally.
"But... there is someone here who would like to meet you,"
She moves out of the way so a surprised Ruby and the boy can see a man in green come through the doorway, holding a plate of cookies with a mug in the other hand
"Ruby Rose," The man says as he leans in to look at her face. "You... have silver eyes."
"Uh, um,"
"You," The man said looking towards the boy. "May I ask what your name is,"
The boy looked at the man for a good second. Then he answered.
"Yo!" the boy holds up a peace sign. "Names Naruto Uzumaki, pleasure to meetcha,"
"Hmm nice to meet you to Mr. Uzumaki," The man greets.
"Now, Ms. Rose," The man began earning a small 'eep' from Ruby. Where did you learn to do this?
"S-signal Academy"
"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"
"Well, one teacher in particular." Ruby explained.
"I see," The man says. He puts the cookies on the table in front of Ruby and Naruto. Ruby tentatively picks one up, eats it in a single bite, and then, not seeing any rebuttal, shovels the rest into her mouth.
"OI!" Naruto shouted. "Share some!"
Ruby looks at Naruto and lets her tongue out at him. A tic mark is visible on his head.
"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow,"
"MM! Tjdt's vv munpl!"
"Say it don't spray it," Naruto scoffs.
"Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa!" ruby proceeds to make some karate-style poses and noises.
"So I've noticed," The man says. He then looks at Naruto. "And you,"
Naruto looked at the people around him for a moment. Then he simply shrugs. "Well when you grow up where I did and how I did you learn to fight out of necessity,"
"And where is that exactly,"
"A place I honestly hope you never have to see, He said solemnly. There was a brief pause.
"I see," The man said cryptically. "So Ruby w hat is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?,"
"I want to be a Huntress." There was no hesitation in her voice.
"You want to slay monsters?"
"Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" She began talking faster and faster with her enthusiasm growing. "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 to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it! I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know!"
She flipped out for a bit at the end. She was looking at Glynda and the other man with a wide somewhat insane smile. Naruto was looking at her like she was insane.
Glynda and the other man were simply studying her.
"Do you know who I am?" The man asks.
"Of course I do," Ruby said
"Nope not a clue," Naruto answered.
"Are you serious," Ruby nearly shouted. "This is Professor Ozpin, the headmaster at Beacon.
"Hello," The now identified Ozpin simply said.
"Nice to meetcha," Naruto said cooly.
"So you want to come to my school," He asked Ruby.
"More than anything,"
"And you," He said to Naruto.
Naruto thought for a moment. 'Well it would be nice to have a place to call home for a while,'
"Will I get stronger there?" Naruto said.
"You would be the first not to,"
A smirk came to Naruto's face. "Then count me in."
"Well ok then," Ozpin said. "You have a week before orientation so you have time to prepare,"
Smiles came across Naruto and Ruby's faces.

"Are you sure about this," Glynda asked. "Ones and unknown and the other is going to be two years behind,"
"Technically the boy is also a year behind," Ozpin said simply. Though his mind was racing. He opened his scroll to look at the list of freshman entering the schoolyear for the hunter program. 'Besides,' he thought to himself. I need two more to even it out he humorously.

Percy Jackson was extremely happy right now. He had just gotten excepted into Beacon academy. He however couldn't exactly show it right now however. The reason he wasn't showing his excitement was because of where he was right now. He was on a secluded part of a beach and in front of him was a were three two graves.
"Hey mom, hey wise girl." He whispered. "I managed to get into Beacon academy like you both wanted," Two figures had walked up towards him. The figures stopped short.
"Yeah I got lucky. I managed to get in on a scholarship with the requirement being that I have to be a huntsman which I have no problem with," He chuckled. "Mom I'm going to live my to the fullest like you always wanted, Annabeth I once promised you the world and my life, that promise will remain. You already know the proof." There was silence for a moment.
"You know they're not going to be happy with this," One of the two figures spoke up.
"So what," Percy said turning serious. "It wasn't like they sacrificed anything,"
Neither of the two spoke. They couldn't exactly disagree with that.
"I know what this is," Percy said gaining a smirk on his face. "Are you gonna miss me sparky,"
One of the two figures gained a tick mark. The other one snickered at the joke.
"Not as much as corpse breath over here," The one called sparky said.
"Hey!" Corpse breath shouted indignantly.
"Ah DiAngelo is that ok," Percy leered, a smile on his face. "Mr. Sunshine might get jealous if he finds out,"
"I will murder both of you,"
The other two laughed. After a minute everything died down.
"Hey guys I need a favor," Percy began. His two companions looked up. "I know its selfish of me but right now it's the best way to secure a future for them, and I do promise to visit every chance I get, and if something happens-a rock and a spark of lightning hit him. He yelped in surprise.
"Don't worry," Sparky said.
"We'll watch over them," Corpse breath finished. "I'll die before something bad happens to them, and I know a certain group of people who agree with my sentiment,"
Percy looked shocked before smiling. "Thanks guys,"
They stood their in comfortable silence for a minute. It was interrupted by another voice.
"YO Kelp Head what are you doing," The voice said. "Your late for your own sendoff party,"
There was a pause. "OH CRAP THAT'S RIGHT!" Percy shouted before taking off. The other quickly followed.

Roxas was sitting on top of a clock tower looking out towards the setting sun. The orphanage had gotten the call about his acceptance into Beacon. Well his and two others acceptance. Said two were out celebrating with a few of their friends.
They had invited Roxas but he had gently turned them down in turn to contemplate a few things. If he went to Beacon he would no doubt become much stronger. And if he got stronger then he would be able to accomplish his goals.
The sooner he could accomplish his goals the sooner he could truly move on. Even with the end result.
"ROOXXXAAASSSS!" A voice shouted. Roxas looked down to see a group of people looking up at him. A girl looked up and opened her mouth to shout again. "GET DOWN HERE NOW BEFORE I SMASH THE TOWER,"
"I don't think vandalism is a good idea," A boy next to her said.
"We'll leave an I.O.U.," The girl stated.
"That doesn't make it better,"
Their other three companions laughed in amusement.
Roxas looked down and smiled. He then activated his semblance and was down there a moment later.
"So what are we eating,"
Before anyone could make suggestions the girl who had shouted earlier had spoke up once again. "Pancakes!"
"NO!" was the response from everyone else.

Michael J. Caboose was having a fun time. And why shouldn't he be. This nice man had told him about this place where he could go make more friend.
"Oh boy I'm so excited," He said aloud. "We're gonna have so much fun right Freckles,"
"Affirmative," A robotic voice confirmed.
"Sheila do you think their gonna like the color blue,"
"Statistically speaking the chances that none of the like the color blue is very slim," A female voice answered.
"And the best part of this is I get to bring my best friend along!"
"Caboose don't do this I'm begging you," Another voice pleaded.
"But Church, we have to go to bacon academy," Caboose said. If we don't can you imagine what their lives would be like if they became friends with me,"
"Hell," Church said. "Their lives would be hell, just like mine. And it's called Beacon dumbass,"
"Do not mock captain Caboose," Freckles said.
"Oh shut up you tin can," Church retorted. "And Caboose, what did me and Carolina tell you about that armor, when you guys had to pick new suits?
"You told me to upgrade." Caboose answered.
"That's not an upgrade!" Church shouted. He gestured himself. "This is Mark Six armor, that's Mark Five. This is an upgrade."
"In a Top Ten list, five is better than six."
"We're not a top ten list!"
Church sighed. "Caboose look I know you want to go. But we can't. And do you remember why,"
"Because were playing hide and seek and if we get caught we die," Caboose answered excitedly.
"Right," Church said.
"But church think," Caboose said. "By going to bacon we can hide in plane eyes, it's the ultimate hiding spot,"
"That….actually makes sense,"
"Now lets go," Caboose shouted before taking off.
"Wait Caboose I never said- awe damnit," Church growled. He couldn't exactly force caboose not to go. Freckles would and Sheila would stop him. "Well maybe he'll get lost and we cant go in the end,"

Naruto and Ruby had exited the station.
"I can't believe it," Ruby said in awe.
"I'm aware," Naruto speaks.
"I'm actually going to Beacon,"
"Yes it's going to be fun for both of us,"
"You don't count," Dismissed Ruby. "You got in by riding my coattail.
"What," Naruto said insulted.
"Well obviously my skills were better.
"Bull Shit," Naruto retorted. "I saved you. My skills are better,"
"Whatever you say," Ruby snorted.
"Their better than yours that's for sure,"
"You wanna test that," Ruby Cresent Rose already transforming. 'What am I doing. I'm never like this,'
It was true Ruby was an awkward and quirky. And kind. But something about the boy in front of her brought this other side of her out and frankly she didn't know what to think.
"Bring it!" Naruto retorted bringing her back. "I'm older anyway so I have an advantage,"
"Only by a year,"
It was true. While Ruby was 15, Naruto was 16. They would both be younger compared to their peers.
"Ok listen here you…" Ruby began but then the two made eye contact. And Ruby saw it all. She now understood why she had that foreboding feeling when she was near him.
"Yo, Red you ok?" Naruto asked in confusion. There was a small silence between the two. Then Ruby finally spoke. The words that left her mouth made Naruto's blood run cold.
"You're a grimm," Ruby whispered.
