A.N.: This is my first attempt on OC story, and I will let the first chapter here for your appreciation, and based on your reception I will decide if I will expand on it or not. Thanks to Maxaro for beta reading it ^^. I will use this one fanfic here to do extra chapters for several of my old stories, and I will tell you at the beginning of each chapter what story is it from and where you should insert it. Thanks again for reading.

This story happens two days before teams RWBY and JNPR return from spring break as seem in Shared Hearts.

The new students started arriving on a cloudy day at Beacon.

Glynda Goodwitch watched as the bullheads and airships landed, letting the new students find their way around. It was usual for the new applicants to arrive two days earlier than their veterans, both to better accommodate them and to avoid having the already busy staff dealing with the antics of both new arrivals and old students.

And Glynda was happy that two particular teams were still away from the school.

She sipped her tea and reviewed the candidates. Apparently this year's freshmen would be less troublesome than last years. She observed two people of interest for her. One was the son of a famous entrepreneur in Vale, and his profile was similar to one Weiss Schnee, except he was famous for getting in trouble. The other one, a famous singer that Glynda didn't know beforehand until Rouge Peach pointed it out. Celebrities usually spelled trouble, and differently from Pyrrha, this one was famous for things outside the Hunting field.

But one person especially worried the blonde teacher, one person she had a soft spot for.

"I think you should join them now." She spoke softly. "I know you don't know how to act with people your age, but you need to. They will be your teammates, partners."

They shared a brief hug. She felt sad and happy at the same time, and they nodded at each other before he left. For Glynda, he was the only family she was left with, so she once again checked the students. She hoped to find the proper partner for him in the middle of all those faces.

…

The cloaked figure left the aircraft that brought her there with a smile splattered in her face, the only feature visible by the passerby students, all commenting on the mysterious figure that walked towards the Beacon premises. She walked with an elegant determination rarely found in people their age, and her cape fluttered with her movements, but even so it kept her features and clothes hidden.

As the cloaked figure walked, she didn't perceive a small guy walking around and they stumbled into each other. She barely felt it, but the smaller guy fell on his butt. He was dressed in white attire, almost business like, his black hair brushed back and held in place with some gel. He got up and his gray eyes stared at the cloaked figure with anger.

"Watch where you are walking, you brain damaged moron!" He shouted; his voice more childish than intended.

"Sorry, I didn't see someone as small as you. Besides, a child like you shouldn't be walking around unsupervised." The girl answered back, her voice carrying a calm but commanding tone.

"Who do you think you are talking with, you moron? I am Jacob Greystoke, heir to the Greystoke fortune!" He said with anger. "You should be begging for my forgiveness!"

"I don't know who you are, little one, nor do I care. Besides, I am the one you should be begging to." She answered with no small amount of pride in her voice.

"That is it! You are going down, you harlot!" He tried to punch the cloaked girl, but he had his arm locked by her hands and soon found himself with his arm twisted on his back, another hand on his neck.

"Silly boy." The voice was filled with amusement.

"Let him go." The cloaked figure slightly turned around. A black haired girl in a business suit looked at her. She had green eyes with golden edges. Her luscious black hair gently rolled in waves over her shoulder, barely passing them. She had a beautiful face too, a little on the younger side, just not as beautiful now as she had a displeased look and pointed to the girl, a tonfa equipped with a 9mm gun.

"Your child here was rather disrespectful, and I'm rather prone to break his arm." The cloaked figure answered as she forced his arm more, making him squeals. The bodyguard girl armed the gun built into the tonfa. She was about to attack when she drew her second tonfa and pointed to another figure that sneaked behind her.

"Violence on the school grounds is forbidden. I suggested you put your guns down and that you let go of the student candidate."

The voice belonged to a teenage boy, taller than them, and he was pointing a mean looking long gun towards them. They were unable to decide if that was a light machine gun or an assault rifle, but it looked old, with a long black blade underneath it like a bayonet. It had silver and blue details, somewhat faded away with its age. The boy was wearing sunglasses, big headphones, and a gray military uniform where they could see four grenades hanging from his belt. A big pistol rested in its holster attached to his right thigh and a blue and silver scarf was wrapped around his neck, breaking the theme of his gray camouflaged clothing. His hair was honey colored and cut short.

"I suggest you put your gun down, pal." In a flurry the soldier guy drew his pistol with his right hand and pointed to the voice, while keeping his rifle pointed at the black haired girl. The voice belonged to a tall and thin boy with Rastafarian hair and many piercings. He also wore a business suit, but his weapon was a short, dual barrel shotgun with a chainsaw in the middle.

"Good, Lorange! Shot them and get me out of this mess!" Jacob pleaded, but before Lorange could do something, a blade was resting close to his neck.

The owner of this blade was a girl with short purple hair framing her face and eyes of the same color. She had a small frame but a curvy body, her purple and lavender kunoichi outfit giving away her rather big bust. Her expression was pretty much a poker face with no emotions on it. Her weapon was a rather long and broad dagger with a chain hanging from its end. She had another blade in her left hand exactly as the first one.

"This is getting ridiculous…" Lorange complained.

"That because you are too slow." A big fat guy wearing business suit pointed his Gatling gauntlet at the new comer. He had a single tuft of blue hair in the middle of his otherwise bald head. The kunoichi pointed her other blade towards him. "I can shoot you dead before your kitchen knife can reach me."

"Not without hitting everyone here." The kunoichi said plainly.

"Niles! Do not dare to fire those things with me in the line of fire!" Jacob whined, more so as the cloaked girl pressed on his arm again.

"Tell your friends to low their weapons." She ordered in a regal tone.

"Let me go and I tell them!" The small boy answered with a whin.

The big Mexican standoff ended when glyphs separated all of its components except the cloaked figure and Jacob. A very displeased Ms. Goodwitch walked towards them with her crop in hand.

"And here I was expecting you all would wait after becoming Beacon students to get at each other's throats. Lower your weapons. NOW!" Everyone did as commanded, knowing Ms. Goodwitch's tone was not to be challenged. "Luminous, what happened here?"

"This crazy girl is trying to break my arm!" Jacob yelled.

"Stay quiet until I address you, Mr. Greystoke. Luminous?"

"They stumbled at each other. There was a brief exchange of words before the boy tried to hit the girl. Things escalated from there." He explained, much like a soldier reporting to a superior officer.

"Very well. Mr. Greystoke, violence is NOT a solution for conflicts and won't be tolerated, IF you pass through initiation. Ms. Platina, let him go." The cloaked girl let her captive go and received a stink eye from Jacob. "Now, I don't have the time to keep an eye on all of you. Luminous, you will keep Ms. Platina out of trouble. Mr. Greystoke, take your entourage to the main hall, NOW."

Under the gaze of the headmistress of Beacon, Jacob and his bodyguards left, but the black haired girl turned towards them and bowed slightly to apologize, surprising the group before she ran to keep with her group.

"Now, excuse me since I have other matters to take care of." Ms. Goodwitch left, and the cloaked girl approached Luminous.

"So, you will be my chaperone now. Isn't it an honor to escort me?" She said with a proud smile.

"Sorry, miss, but I don't know who you are." The boy answered in a polite tone, and the cloaked figure smirked.

"I shall not accept my presence going unnoticed like this." She tossed her cloak away revealing a beautiful young woman with golden hair that got lighter as it got down, being a beautiful platinum color at the tips. Her hair was short, just passing her chin, and held mostly in a tall ponytail. She had platinum eyes, and wore a white battle dress with silver and gold linings making complicated patterns. On her back was what looked like a broad sword in its compact form. Her dress left her back exposed, but her transparent scarf covered and uncovered it as she moved. She also had a transparent skirt coming from her mini-skirt, covering and uncovering her legs, those covered with white and transparent socks that reached the middle of her thighs. "I am the number one idol of all of Remnant, Platina!"

As soon as she revealed herself, she was surrounded by students, forcing Luminous to attempt to keep them always from the girl. It was clear she was popular, and as the other students got too close, she drew her rather big sword, a two handed double edged blade with silver and golden patterns around its beige blade. She swung it and put it in front of her, the sword as tall as herself when fully deployed.

"My beloved admirers, I am here to become a Huntress like all of you. So I ask of you to refrain from getting to me for now. I know it is a daunting task keeping away from such a beautiful and talented girl such as myself, but I promise to reward your efforts after initiation. So disperse now, my beloved followers!" And as commanded, the group of admirers that were squealing in excitement just a moment before disappeared. "Now, it is just fair that you introduce yourself to me."

"Luminous Goodwitch." He answered simple, and Platina smirked at the name.

"So, you are related with the headmistress. Interesting. Now, come, my newest admirer! We shall not keep everyone waiting!" With that, she marched towards the main hall, Luminous just behind her, his face showing no obvious emotions.

Nothing changed much at Beacon after a year, except for the change of headmasters. The main hall was already filled with people, candidates ready to study at the best Hunter school in all of Remnant, and the presence of Platina didn't help with the crowd. Once again, a simple command from her and everyone gave her the needed space. Luminous would be lying if he didn't admit it was impressive how easily the idol commanded her fans. They easily got closer to the stairs here the staff waited for the headmistress speech.

"Ah, found you. I wanted to thank you for trying to help us," Platina said to the purple-haired kunoichi. "I am Platina, this is Luminous."

"Amethyst." She answered plainly and emotionlessly.

"We're going to be friends." Platina stated with a smile, making Amethyst tilt her head a little.

"Why?" She wondered, and the blonde girl smirked again.

"Because it is nicer this way." Amethyst gave Luminous a stare of doubt, and he just shrugged as it was clear Platina was clearly the type that did whatever she wanted.

While Platina kept her pretty much one-sided conversation with Amethyst, Luminous analyzed everyone around. Clearly they were unaware of the dangers of being a Hunter enticed, as they acted as expected for Jacob Greystoke. Somehow he had gotten hold of a chair and sat there like a little king, emphasis on little, with his bodyguards around him. Luminous noticed the girl they met before looked very uncomfortable with that situation, and when their eyes crossed, he gave her a supporting smile and shrug. The girl looked at him surprised but nodded back in gratitude for the moral support.

They all got silent when the staff walked towards the improvised stand between the roll of stairs.

Up there was Ms. Goodwitch, the headmistress, followed by a girl with orange hair and green eyes, wearing a mostly green dress, too young to be a teacher, many thought. After them came a tall, thin man with thick glasses, and a smaller and thicker man with a mustache, both looking more like a pair of comedians than teachers. After those twocame a small girl, a Faunus with a tail and bi-color red and sakura hair. She was definitely cute, but again, many thought her to be too young to be a teacher. With her came also an older, taller Faunus woman that looked like a doctor. Lastly a woman in a red and black kimono with luscious black hair and glowing red eyes, that looked like a seasoned Huntress and the most teacher like besides GlyndaGoodwitch.

"Salutations, students. Thestaff of Beacon academy want to welcome you all. It is our sincere pleasure to see young people like you eager to learn. I hope we all can become friends. Now, I present you Ms. GlyndaGoodwitch, headmistress of Beacon Academy." The young green eyed girl said in a way too happy voice before passing the mic to the headmistress.

"Thank you, Penny. Here at beacon we train Hunters and Huntresses to fight against the ever present menace of the creatures of Grimm. Many of you might think your skills are enough, but I will let you know they aren't, and they will never be." There was a stunned silence over her words. "Even the most skilled Huntsman can fall over an overwhelming enemy or simply by an unexpected action." There was a hint of sadness in her voice when she said that. "That is why Hunters never work alone anymore, that is why, here at Beacon, we incentive partnership and team work. What you are here to learn is that your skills will be never enough... alone. By understanding each other and by supporting each other is how you all will survive on the field, and that is why we have Initiation. Tonight, all of you will sleep here at this hall, and I suggest you get to know each other, because tomorrow you won't know who will be the ones your life will depend on. Many of you have your own objectives over becoming Hunters and Huntresses, but I warn you all that none of those matters. The survival of us all depends on your success in defeating the creatures of Grimm. That is the mindset we hope to infuse into your young minds in the next four years." With that she left, followed by most of the staff except Penny.

"Now, you're all receiving your locker numbers on your scrolls, so I strongly suggest you change into your sleeping attire. All weapons are to be deposited in your lockers until morning, and we will provide you with dinner and sleeping bags. Curfew will be at 2200. We hope you to have a nice night of sleep as initiation starts at 0730. Any questions should be addressed to the staff. That is all, have a good afternoon."

Penny left, and a murmur started as the students digested those words.

…

"You are staying with us, Lux."

Luminous stared at Platina, her happy face being almost contagious. She wore pants and a tank top that somehow wasn't as sexy as her standard dress, despite the new outfit showing more skin. He had his sleeping bag with him and was searching a spot less crowded around. Platina smiled for seeing him without his headphones and shades, and now she could see his honey colored eyes and the few scars he had up his left eyebrow.

"Us?" He questioned and Platina pushed a shy Amethyst that was behind her towards him. The girl was using basically the same outfit from when they met, except without any armor or weapons, and her feet were bare.

"You look like a cool guy, and you might keep some pests from pestering us. So come on, we found a prime spot for us."

With little other options, Luminous followed them to a more secluded spot behind the stairs, where they laid out their sleeping bags. Some of Platina's fans approached her, and the idol gave them some autographs but kindly asked to be left alone as curfew was about to start. The boy admired her dedication to her fans as he sat beside Amethyst.

"Sorry about this." He said to the kunoichi, the girl shook her head.

"It's okay…" she whispered and looked away. Apparently interacting with people wasn't her strongest skill. He was about to say something when some commotion started at the main hall, and the three of them got up to find out what was happening.

Someone had set a tent in the middle of the hall, and an incredible tall girl, at least 2 meters tall, was complaining. The girl had short blonde hair and dark skin, and well defined muscles under her pajamas. She was clearly pissed at the owner of the big tent, since it was taking up so much space in the main hall. Three figures in business suits were standing by, which meant…

"Go away! You can't expect that me, Jacob Greystoke, to sleep in the middle of the common people!" A voice came from inside the tent.

"I don't care if you're the frigging queen, pipsqueak. Even the pop star over there is respecting everyone." The tall girl pointed to Platina, and the idol smiled proudly. "And if she can be nice, so will you, or I swear I will teach you how with my fists!"

"Get her away from me, you idiots! This is why I pay you!" Jacob yelled from inside his rather big tent, but his bodyguards looked at the strong woman in front of them and disagreed.

"Boss, I don't think we can take this one unarmed…" the Rastafarian said. This caused Jacob to get out of his tent to yell some more.

"I will get you all fired if you don't… don't…" he trailed off when he realized just how big the girl really was. She grabbed him by his collar and lifted the small guy to her eye level, his feet dangling far from the ground.

"Okay, pipsqueak, now, as I was saying…"

"Please, no physical altercations with your fellow students." Penny said as she approached with a smile. "Mr. Greystoke, your tent is not authorized, so I ask of you to dispose of it. Ms. Kalli, please let go of him." The tall woman just opened her hand and Jacob felt on his butt, leaving a feel muffled cursed out. "Now, the tent, Mr. Greystoke."

"The tent is staying! Or else I will complain to the headmistress!" Penny tilted her head as if thinking, before smiling. In a flash, the tent fell into a pile of rags, slashed to ribbons by Penny's floating swords, surprising everyone. After that she grabbed Jacob by his waist and put him under her arm. "WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU DOING?!"

"The tent is not staying, therefore you will complain to the headmistress. I suggest the rest of you go to sleep, I will make sure Mr. Greystoke is back before initiation. Goodnight, everyone." With that she carried the screaming, small guy away, and everyone decided unanimously to ignore the lunacy that had just transpired in favor of going to sleep instead, including his surprised bodyguards.

"Many interesting people here. I am really eager for Initiation tomorrow!" Platina celebrated with a smile and a laugh, and Luminous and Amethyst decided that they had enough madness for the day.

…

The next day started early, with everyone getting dressed and ready for the Initiation. Platina made sure to keep Luminous and Amethyst close as her friends, and the two just didn't have the energy to say otherwise. Now geared, they stopped by the mess hall to have breakfast, which proveditself to be an interesting affair.

Luminous put a lot of bacon, sausages, eggs and toasts on his plate. Amethyst had only a bowl of cereal with milk. Platina had a variety of foods on hers, but still too much for someone with as petite of a build as her, despite her curves. She gave an aggravated look at her friend's breakfast.

"No, that won't do. I can't have you two have such an unhealthy or simple breakfast!" The idol protested and immediately gave them an apple each, and took some of the food from luminous plate and gave to Amethyst. "We might get paired or teamed up, so I want you two in top condition."

"Thanks?" Luminous said as he looked how proud of herself Platina was. He understood that despite her attitude she was actually a caring person.

"Good! Now Lux, Amy, how about Initiation? I heard it is quite random." Luminous knew it wasn't exactly like that, but was forbidden to tell anyone. He was curious about who he would be paired up with though. "I hope I get paired with someone that's cute."

"Cute?" He wondered why that was a requirement.

"Of course. I live to get myself as many cute things to admire as possible." She affirmed with such straight face that Luminous had no answer for her.

"Why are you here?" Amethyst asked. It wasn't an insult, but the underlying, loaded question was 'why is someone as famous as you here? Why risk your life?'

"Ah, because I was bored. I'm already the most famous idol on Remnant, and while singing and dancing is a passion of mine, I was just not entertained. So I decided to try my hand at this Huntress thing, and I have quite the talent for it. So, I assure you that I will give my all on this… and if not, I will just get bored and do something else." They almost fell down on the floor after she finished. "But I haven't be bored a single minute since we arrived!"

"Excuse me…" they all turned to see one of Greystoke's bodyguards, the girl from before. "I just wanted to apologize for my boss' behavior…"

"That is… nice of you…" Luminous said as she nodded.

"You seem like a nice girl, why mix up with a villain like him?" Platina asked, making sure to add as much dramatic flair on her discourse as she could. The girl just sighed and gave a weak smile.

"It's just a job. It pays well…" she justified. "I hope we can avoid any unneeded trouble from now on. See you at initiation. And good luck for you all."

With that, she joined the other bodyguards, the fat one with a pile of food almost as tall and big as his boss, chewing it eagerly. Soon a frustrated Jacob joined then and spent his breakfast complaining about the headmistress and her assistant. The trio just lamented such a nice girl was mixed with such a heinous person.

…

They all stood at the cliffs, waiting initiation Begin. The clouds were darker, and thunder could be heard. It wouldn't be a surprise if Initiation involved heavy rain. They were lined on the white platforms waiting the headmistress to start it. In their battle attires, they all seemed very professional, and there was a lot of excitement and a little of fear in most of them.

"Emerald Forest is an active Grimm ground, so you WILL engage in battle. Overconfidence and fear can get you killed. Therefore, having a partner will prove fundamental for your safety. As tradition follows, your partner will be the first person you make eye contact with after landing." There was a moment of shock between them all as she said that. Ms. Goodwitch kept her professional face and followed. "You will have until sunset to retrieve a set of relics hidden in an abandoned ruin west from here. Failing to retrieve those in time means you won't remain in Beacon. You are expected to provide your own landing strategy and return to Beacon by your own means. Staff won't interfere on your battles. Questions?"

"Are you insane, this is the most stupid thing I ever heARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHH!" Jacob was launched at the air. And after him, one by one, the others got launched as Ms. Goodwitch passed them, only stopping by a split second to talk with Luminous.

"Be careful." She whispered to her adoptive brother before he was launched into the air.

"They will be fine. They are capable people." Penny said to her after all students were sent flying.

"I hope so, Penny. I wish Ozpin was here…" Glynda lamented as she watched.

"He trusted you to assume his post. You are doing a superb job." The artificial girl supported the blonde teacher. She just hoped to not be Ozpin's last mistake.
