Prologue

(Jayden POV)

It all begins on the day I was abandoned by my own flesh and blood and was adopted by two very kind hearted individuals that had raised me all my life until one day when death strikes and robs me of my two foster parents and condemned me to live in the streets in which I vowed to take revenge against the very men that robbed me of my life and my loving foster parents. I then attended Signal Academy and studied in combat school for 2 years and learned a lot about my aura and my semblance. I also studied under a bear faunas hunter I called master and on the day I graduated from Signal Academy, my master was shot by the very people that killed my foster parents and I was chasing after them.

(Jayden POV)

As I was running around the streets, chasing after the 2 gunmen that shot my master I was stopped by several henchmen and I immediately knocked them out and killed them with my hidden blades and seeing as I couldn't catch them by running, I climb the building and once I arrived at the top, I scout and observed the landscape in the city to look for the 2 assailants and I found them in an alleyway and as they are catching their breath I jump down and air assassinate one of the assailants and the other guy fell down on his ass and was trying to run away from me and I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him on the wall. As I interrogate him, "Who sent you to kill that man? I repeat who sent you to kill that man?". He remained silent and was scared till he pissed his pants. "Tell me! WHO SENT YOU TO KILL THAT MAN!?" As I slammed him into the wall again, he moaned in agony and finally responds "I was sent by the Order of Humanity! Could you please let me go?" I stabbed him in the throat and dropped him down. Then, I carried both bodies and threw them in the dumpster on the same alleyway and walked out of the alleyway as though nothing had happened until I bumped into a man holding a mug and a walking stick. He stopped me and gestured me to a nearby park in which I just followed him to see what he wants, as we both sat on a park bench and looked at each other. He then says, "That was impressive, young man. I have never seen such skill coming from a young man such as you, where do you come from?" I just looked at him and give him a shrug and say, "I come from Signal Academy and I just graduated…so who are you by the way?" He then composed himself and introduces himself to me, "Ah, forgive me for that. My name is Professor Ozpin and I would like to invite you to join my academy, Beacon." As I slowly stared and realized that I am talking to the headmaster of Beacon Academy, I immediately bowed and look at him. "Professor Ozpin! I'm sorry for my rudeness earlier, my name is Jayden Lucia Hawksford and I wanted to ask you something, professor?" He looks at me and smiles, "Go on." I then proceed to ask him the question, "Why is it that I get the chance to go to Beacon?" He then answers, "This is because Jayden, you have proven your combat prowess to me earlier when you chased and killed those two assailants earlier and I would very much like to have you in my school, unless you don't want to?" I immediately answered, "No! No.., I would gladly join Beacon Academy no questions asked! I have always wanted to go there when I was in Signal Academy to be a better hunter and eradicate all Grimm from this land!" as I shouted my dreams and look around as people are staring at me as I sat back down, feeling embarrassed. Then, professor Ozpin got up and pat me on the shoulder and said, "Good, I would see you in Beacon tomorrow then young man" He then walks away as I sat there, not believing what just happened. After he left, I immediately got up and jump around excited as I managed to get into Beacon but then stops as I realized the organization that had killed my foster parents is the Infamous Order of Humanity that wants a world without the Faunus, I gripped my hand into a fist and swear vengeance upon the Order for taking away my peaceful life and vowed to kill every last one of them. I then returned home to my apartment in Vale to pack up and get ready to leave for Beacon the next morning.

(Jayden POV)

As I enter the dust plane, I sat down in the corner and started to doze off as I couldn't get much sleep last night. As I continue to sleep peacefully on my chair, I didn't realize that another girl sat beside me and was reading a book when I woke up from hearing a meowing sound coming from beside me. I then look beside me and saw a cute little black kitten curling up on the girl's lap and I was shocked to see a cute, green haired girl stroking the kitten and then I looked at the book cover and talking to myself "Ninjas of…Love, ohh it's that book" she then said, "Read it?" I slowly readjust myself to the seat to sit more comfortably and answer, "Yeah, a few chapters. The name's Jayden, yours?" She looked at me and said, "Mei" I smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Mei." She nods and continues to read her book while stroking her kitten. I then decided to leave her alone and fall back to sleep for the rest of the journey.

(A few hours later) We both got off the dust plane and I was standing in front of the entrance, admiring the Academy's castle like building which is Beacon. "Nice place, isn't it?" She nods and is still reading her book, "you're not even looking, Mei" She then continues to walk to the hall while carrying her kitten and reading her book. "Wait up! Mei!" As I follow her and walk alongside her to the hall, I see many other hunters and huntresses walking to the hallway and I noticed a cute brown haired rabbit faunas girl walking alone to the hall and I continue to follow Mei to the hallway. Once we arrived at the hall, Headmaster Ozpin was giving a speech, "I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge - to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." As everyone was silent after the headmaster gave his speech, Miss Goodwitch commanded, "You will all gather in the Ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready, you're dismissed" As everyone head to the locker room to keep their things and get changed into their sleepwear, I head to my own locker and find a sleeping bag and kept my duffel bag and changed into a shirt with cargo pants and grabbed my sleeping bag and closed the locker.

Then, I head to the ballroom and found Mei dressed in simple pajamas with cute kitty patterns and I placed my sleeping bag beside her as I saw her stroking her kitten that is curled up on her lap. I then try to start a conversation with her, "Hey there, Mei" she looks up and sees me waving at her and nods, then continues to read her book. "You don't really talk much, huh? Nice cat by the way, what's its name?" She looks at who was talking to her and said, "Jerry" I gave her a smile and sat down beside her. "That's a nice name" she then nods and doesn't look away from her book. "So, how far are you reading that book now?" She answers, "Halfway" As I looked around the ballroom, I then asked her something, "I see, mind if I stroke your cat?" Still reading her book, she answered "Go ahead" As I slowly stroke Jerry, he purrs and nuzzles my hand as I continue to rub him softly. As she closes her book and puts it away she strokes Jerry and brings him to a cushion which is his sleeping spot. She then goes to sleep, "Good Night, Mei" she answers, "Night" as she falls asleep and I decided to sleep as well.

(The next morning) I woke up and took a shower and then I changed into my combat outfit and gear and head to the canteen. I then took some pancakes, bacon, an apple and a cup of OJ and then look for a seat when I saw Mei, sitting somewhere all by herself. I then sat beside her and greeted her, "Morning, Mei" She then nods and continue to have her breakfast which is a bowl of cereal with a cup of milk. She then puts down her book and asked, "Your weapon?" "Huh? Ohh, my weapon! I use a cleaver blade sword called Queen's Revenge and a long sword called King's Vengeance with two of these hidden blades called Twin Fatalities and various throwing knifes. What about you, Mei?" She closed her book and looks at me, "This" as she shows me her Sniper Rifle which is hanging from her back and then she took out her 2 handguns which are the 45ACP and the 22 Magnum revolver which both had blade add ons. "Cool, what are their names?" "Garuda" as she points to her sniper rifle, "Red Crow" she points to the 45ACP, "Kingfisher" she points to the 22 Magnum revolver. She then keeps her pistols and continues to eat her breakfast while feeding Jerry some bacon she got from the canteen. I looked at Jerry and said, "Hey lil guy" as I slowly rub his head with my finger, Mei gave me a stern look and I immediately as I realized I was disturbing him. We then continue to eat in silence and then I got up after we finished our food and head to the initiation location which is the cliffs. We are then informed by Miss Goodwitch that we will all be given partners today as headmaster Ozpin says that the first person we make eye contact with in the forest would be our teammates for 4 years and I thought to myself, "Oh, crap. This means I could possibly be paired with someone I hate…oh, brother." Mei just stared at me silently and showed no emotion whatsoever to me, I just shrugged and smiled at her. "I hope we become teammates, Mei" She just nodded and looks out at the horizon, thinking about how to land. Then, as Headmaster Ozpin tell us some more important news. "Once you all found your partners, you will head to the northern end of the forest where you will collect a piece of the relic that will determine which team you are in. On the way, you'll meet opposition and I suggest you to not hesitate and destroy everything in your part or … you'll die." As headmaster Ozpin looks at all the freshman and especially at the brown haired rabbit Faunus girl, who nodded quickly and still looks at the forest nervously.

We then get onto the platform and one by one, hunters and huntresses are getting launch up into the air by the platform and when it reached me, I was sent flying into the air and looked around for a tree branch to cling on and I used my hidden blades to cling onto a thick tree branch and slowly drop myself down and landed perfectly on my feet. As I looked around for any signs of Mei, I heard a gunshot and the sound of growling Grimm. I climbed up the tree and starts to scale the forest branch by branch looking for the source of the gunshot and saw Mei, firing her guns at a pack of Beowolves that surrounded her and I jumped down, killing two of the Beowolves behind her and stand beside her, "hey there, Mei" She was aiming Garuda at the Beowolves as she continue talking to me, "Less talk, more fighting" as she continue to shoot the Beowolves with Garuda as I took out my long sword and began to hack and slash at the beowolves until none of them are left. I then sheathe my sword and Mei kept her guns back into their holsters, I look at her and smile. "Looks like you and me are partners now" She only nodded and say, "North, relic. Now" as she began to run to the northern end of the forest. We both stumbled upon the forest temple and I looked around the pillars, seeing various chess pieces and then I picked up the pawn chess piece. "Let's go with this one, is it ok Mei?" as I look at her, she only nodded and pointed up at the hill and we both quickly climbed up the hill with the help of a grappling hook and rocket propulsion boots that I found lying around the temple area. Probably belong to some old hunter who had no use for it.

As we both reached the top, we head to the canteen to have some lunch and wait for the results to be announced. I saw the brown haired rabbit Faunus girl approaching me and Mei and was holding onto Jerry, she said "This is yours, right?" Mei picked up Jerry and replied, "Thanks" and walked with me following her and I sat beside Mei as Ozpin Announce the results of the teams. "Coco, Fox, Velvet Scarlatina and Yatsuhashi. The four of you picked up the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will all work together as team CFVY led by Coco. Good Luck, young lady" As the headmaster gestured to a brown haired girl who is smiling to her teammates who were waving at her. Then, the headmaster announced something special. "Jayden L. Hawksford and Mei Feng Ling, the both of you will be qualify for a special team as the both of you have picked up the gold pawn piece. You both will be joining a team of elites that have supported various hunter for the past year, you will be joining the Solo Support Hunters Brigade and the both of you will be sparring for the second and the third rank of 1st Class Hunter in the SSH Brigade. Please head to the sparring ring." I slammed my head down on the table and sigh to myself, "I knew something like this was bound to happened" As everyone looked at Mei and I and then the both of us got up and head to the sparring ring.

Miss Goodwitch then gestured us to different sides of the arena and as we both stand on opposing ends with our weapons out, "Today, and Ling will be sparring for the second rank and the third rank of 1st class hunter in the SSH Brigade. You may begin your match" As we both got ready and I unsheathe my long sword and cleaver blade, "I'm not going easy on you, you know?" she only nodded and began firing at me with her sniper rifle and as I was getting ready to deflect the bullets with my cleaver, the bullets missed and hit the wall. I taunted her, "I can't believe you miss..." As I turn my head back I saw the bullets ricocheting back at me and I quickly duck down and both the bullets strike each other as I drop down to see her coming at me with her guns firing at me. I took out my throwing knifes and threw it at her feet and she dodged the explosion and continue to fire at me as I continue to throw my knifes at her and she continue to shoot at me with her guns. I took my long sword and began to slash at her with it and she dodges all the strikes with ease and as I slash my cleaver blade upwards she jumped back and starts to fire more bullets towards me and I sheathe my cleaver blade and quickly dodged her bullets. I then rushed and quickly slashed at her with my long sword and taunted her, "you can't fire your guns in close range, huh?" she then eject out her kerambit blade from the handle of the revolver and slashed at me as I lost my balance and was kicked out of the sparring ring by her.

Miss Goodwitch then stopped the match and announced, "Enough. The winner of the match is Ling and from today onwards she will be 1st class, second rank and would be 1st class, third rank. You are dismissed. and Ling, the both of you will be seeing the headmaster in his office for details on your assignment." As I got up and gathered my throwing knifes and got down from the sparring ring, Mei and I then followed Miss Goodwitch to the headmaster's office for a briefing. As we enter the room, we both saw another hunter who is leaning on the wall and looking at us with a serious look. I immediately felt a chill and then the headmaster began to speak to us. " and , congratulations on being the new 1st class hunters of the SSH brigade. Now, I would like you to meet your new leader. Mr. Krishnan Avdoja who is a 1st class hunter, first rank. Mr. Avdoja, if you will." As the dark skinned hunter, who is identified as Krishnan Avdoja approaches us. He shook our hand and introduced himself. "My name is Krishnan Avdoja, call me Krish" I let go of his hand and introduce myself to him, "Likewise, Krish. My name is Jayden Lucia Hawksford and you can call me Jay" Mei also introduce herself to her, "Mei Feng Ling, call me Mei" Krish then smiles at us and say, "welcome to the SSH Brigade, Jay and Mei. I hope that the three of us would be able to work together well for the next three years." I was puzzled and say, "Three years?" He looked at me and says, "I'm a second year in Beacon, Jay and that means once I graduated. It'll either be you or Mei that will be the leader of the SSH Brigade." I nod my head in understanding and said, "I see, well at least I won't be working alone for the next four years then" As the three of us finished introducing ourselves to each other, the Headmaster then gave me and Mei 2 scrolls each and then informs us of our sleeping arrangements. "The 2 of you would be sharing a room with Mr. Avdoja here." The both of us nodded and then we followed Krish to his room and I thought to myself, "Ohh, Brother… This is going to be 4 very long years for me"
