We have sworn an oath to protect this world and it's inhabitants, as well as take care of them. We didn't fight an almost millennia long war just to leave again. We chose to stay on this planet, to further protect its people. More I than anything. My name is Aquamarine, or if I may imply, Mari. I lived for over six thousand years already. I used to be part of the Crystal Gems, but I decided I needed more adventures than to poof corrupted gems. I fought in the war between the humans and the faunus. I was more trying to stop it than anything. I didn't fight in either side, and I didn't kill at all as you might think I have. I would never hurt a soul on this planet. I made the two sides come to an agreement, not to kill each other. There was still discrimination, that is why I stayed in the area, making sure that all the peaceful protests stayed that way. That is, until the white fang turned dark. I decided I wanted to learn more about them, so I enrolled in Beacon Academy. I obviously passed the entrance exam no problem, now the hard part is, fitting in. I was very bashful to who I am. I am a gem, I'm not human. I want it to stay that way, nobody should know of my dark past.

I boarded the airship that carried us to beacon. Yes, the same one with the human with air sickness, that was not pleasant trust me. I didn't talk to anyone, being as I am really shy when it comes to meeting new people, especially one of different species.

(Ruby of RWBY's P.O.V)

"I'm so proud of my baby sister coming to Beacon with me!" Yang called out, pulling Ruby into a giant bear hug.

"Ugh, stop." Ruby mumbled.

"But I'm so proud of you!"

"Please sis, it was nothing." Ruby retorted.

"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you are the bees knees!"

"I don't want to be the 'bee's knees'! I just wanna be a normal girl, with normal knees."

"What's with you? Aren't you excited?" Yang replied.

"Of course I'm excited. I'm excited… It's just… I got moved ahead two years. I don't want anybody to think I'm special or anything."

"But you are special."

The news broadcast was being played on the ship. It was about the guy Ruby ran into the other night, the one with, the mysterious blue girl.

I was in the dust shop one day reading a magazine about weapon, which I loved by the way, and at the same time it was being robbed by the same guy in the broadcast and his men. I had my music going through my headphones pretty loud, so I wasn't able to hear the commotion going on, until the guy made me take it off and announce that he was robbing me. I kicked him across the shop. Another came to me with a gun and I kicked him through the glass window. I made it a point that I am able to fight them by expanding my sythe. I kicked around a few guys before I got to Torchwick, who shot me with some sort of dust gun, and by the time I regained my balance he was already halfway up a ladder leading to the roof. I used my gun to propel myself onto the roof, where Torchwick was standing. Not moving. The you can hear the roar of the propellers of an airship as one creeps up over the top of the roof. Torchwick jumps in and turns to me.

"End of the line, red!" He yelled over the roar of the engine. He throws a red crystal at my feet, and aims his cane at it. A fiery red thing came out and was about to hit the crystal when a force pushed me back, almost to the edge of the roof and I look up to see a person in a blue cloak holding up a wall of water, blocking the blast from the crystal. The person lowers the wall of water and hold up her hand, clenching her fist and the metal of the airship slowly start to compact, almost as she is using the air pressure around it to squish it like a bug. I use Crescent Rose to shoot the ship as it is being compacted by this mysterious person. Torchwick and another person jump out of the ship and onto the ground below. The person then shot the ship into the harbor, where it blew up, erupting water all around the site. I turn to the person to say thanks, but she looks at me and then literally jumps away. She jumped much farther than my sister ever could, and she jumps far. There is just something odd about her. Then I start to walk away until I ran into someone. She looked very authoritarian and very disappointed. That is how I ended up meeting Professor Ozpin and how I got into this school. It was because of that mysterious girl. I'll look for her some other time.

I end my little flashback as the airship is landing in front of the Beacon courtyard, and snap back into reality. I get off the ship and start to head towards beacon. I see the student of Beacon, and swoon over their weapons.

"Ooh! Ooh! Sis! That person has a collapsable staff! And she's got a fire sword!" I say. Suddenly Yang grabs my ear. "Ow, ow."

"Easy there little sister. They're just weapons."

"Just weapons? They are an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! They're so cool!" Ruby said dreamingly.

"Well why can't you just swoon over your own weapons? Aren't you happy with it?"

I pull out my weapon and extend it, hugging it.

"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just like seeing new ones. They are like meeting new people." I lower my weapon. "But better."

"Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?" Yang asked.

"But why would I need friends when I have you?"

Some of Yang's friends came up beside her. "Well, actually my friends are here right now. Gotta go catch up! 'Kay see ya bye!" And with that Yang ran off with her friends, leaving me alone dizzy from them spinning me around as they took off.

"Wait! Where are you going? Are we supposed to go to our dorm? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? I don't know what I'm doing…" And with that I fall over, giving up from trying to stand, right into some girl's luggage.

"What are you doing!?" I hear a girl say in a very snotty voice.

I stand up from my position on the ground. "Uh… Sorry!"

"Sorry? Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?"

"Uh…" I picked up a bottle of, dust?

"Gimme that! This is Dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry." she said informatively.

"Uh.." I didn't know what to say.

"What are you, brain dead? Dust. Fire, water, lightning, energy!" she started to spray some of the dust, and it is now really tickling my nostrils. I tried my hardest not to sneeze.

"Uh…" Trying to keep in my sneeze.

"Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!" she kept pestering. I just finally lost my control. I let out a big sneeze.

"Uuuuhhhh- choo!" I caused the dust around me to explode as little patches of the elements exploded.

"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"

"I'm really, really sorry." I say, tapping my two pointer fingers together, still on the ground.

She walks away in a fancy manner. What's her problem? I lay down on the ground.

"Welcome to Beacon." I mutter.

"Hey." I look up and see an outstretched hand. A blue one? I grab it and powerful hands lift me from the ground.

"Rough first day, huh?" she asked me. She looked awfully familiar. She had a sleeveless skin tight shirt with darker blue outer layers. Her v-shaped belt held a small black star. Must be her emblem. And she had, light blue skin? She also had a dark blue cloth wrapped around her neck, weird.

"Yeah." I say, brushing the dirt off my skirt. Hey, she has one too! "Nice skirt."

"Oh, thanks. Nobody really noticed it before. Glad you did. Is this your first here too?"

"Yep, and really fun if you ask me."

"Alright, so what made it fun?" she asked.

"I almost blew up."

"Kind of saw that. Weiss can also be kind of, well, mean when it comes to this stuff. Wanna walk with me to the opening ceremony?"

"Sure." I replied. Hey, maybe Beacon might not be bad after all. I start a conversation with her.

"So… I got this thing." I pull out my scythe. She looked amazed.

"That's so cool. Mine is a battle axe." I didn't see it on her, so I was a bit confused. All of a sudden she reached up to her neck and a stream of light came from it, and she pulled it out, twirled it for a bit and stuck it in the ground. It finally materialized and she wielded the most beautiful axe I've ever seen. I just gawked at her.

"I've had this thing for a while. I like the way it feels, you know?" she said. She then let it go and it disappeared in a couple of sparkles and into thin air.

"How did you do that?" I asked, stuttering.

"Um…" she paused. "Magic." she said as she waved her hand in the air, really emphasizing it.

We go into the area where the ceremony is taking place, and waved her goodbye to go be by my sister. I decided not to tell Yang anything about her until tonight. I don't know why, but I just did.

"How's your first day going, little sister?" Yang asked me.

"You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?" I told her.

"Yikes, meltdown already?"

"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was fire, a-and I think some ice." I said, trying to replay the events of the day.

"Are you being sarcastic?" Yang said, still thinking I am joking.

"Ugh, I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage! And then she started yelling at me! And then I sneezed. And then I exploded. And then she started yelling again!" unbeknownst to me that she was creeping up behind me during my rant. "And I felt really, really bad! And I just wanted her to stop!"

"You!" she said. I jumped into Yang's arms, having that she scared the dickens out of me.

"Oh God, it's happening again!" I yelled.

"You were lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!"

Yang turned to me, "Oh my God you really exploded."

"It was an accident!" Weiss held in her outstretched hand a, brochure? "What's that?"

"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to dust application and practice in the field."

"Uhh…" I said.

"You really want to make things up to me?" Weiss said. Of course I did.

"Absolutely." I say.

"Read this and don't ever speak to me again." she hands me the brochure and walks away.

"Uh, that was weird." Yang said. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to tell Yang about the girl. Wow, I still don't even know her name!

"Yang. The night when I got accepted into Beacon, I wasn't alone."

"What do you mean?" Yang asks.

"There was a girl, I don't really know if she even is a girl. She saved me from Torchwick last night and then took off, and I think I met her in the courtyard, where she helped me up when the explosion landed me on my butt."

"Why don't you think she is a girl?"

"She, has blue skin. And her weapon is made of light. I don't think a human can do what she did."

"But she's a nice person, right? Don't judge her based on how different she is, but how good she portrays herself." Yang said with a smile.

Behind a group of people, Mari could hear Yang, and she started tearing up. "Thank you." she whispered, and walked away.
