The Black Beacon
The airship made it's approach to the school for huntsman and Huntresses, people doing their daily business below on the city streets, with a few taking a quick look at the aircraft over head. Inside lay young men and women that would become alumni to the academy know as Beacon.
Inside there be a young girl 2 years younger than every other budding huntsmen, in red and black. While the majority of the passengers held excitement this young warrior, was rather depressed. There was a blonde girl next to her, wearing an orange scarf was that anything but depressed.
"Oh I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" the Yang exclaimed hugging the young girl.
Somehow the girl in red looked even more depressed. "Pleassst-stooop." Ruby said feeling herself being crushed by the blonde lovingly.
The blonde girt let go and said."But I'm SO Proud of YOU!"
"Believe me sis it was nothing." Ruby said disheartenedly
"What do you mean!? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacons gonna think you're the "Bee's Knees"!" Yang shouted with a smile.
"I don't WANT to be the "Bee's Knees" I don't want to be ANY kind of knee's, I just want to be a normal girl with NORMAL knees." Ruby said abrasively, actually looking at her knees.
"Whats with you? Aren't you excited!?" Yang said maintaining her smile at her sister.
"Of course im excited I just-…I got moved ahead "two" years. I don't want anyone to think im special or anything." Ruby said downtrodden looking down at the floor.
Yang put an arm around her sister. "But you ARE special." She said with a more sincere smile. The holo TV made the room echo with the newscaster's voice. "The Robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, and continues to evade authorities. If you have any information of his whereabouts please contact the Vale Police Dept. Back to you Lisa." The holo TV changed to a woman with with gold eyes and white hair in a purple collared suit. With a section viewed people with Horns, cat ears, and fox ears holding up picket signs and very unhappy.
"Thank you Cyril. In other news this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights Protest turned dark, members of the White Fang interrupted the ceremony, this once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" Lavender was phased out as the holo Tv rendered a Woman with blonde hair in a bun with green eyes and glasses.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon." The Woman said firmly.
"Who's that?" Yang asked
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch". Glynda said. "Oh." She Responed.
"You are among a privileged few who have recieived the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace. And as future Huntsman and Huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to give you the knowledge and training to protect our world." Glynda finished her speech and her hologram disappeared. The students leaned towards the glas swindows to see the view, approaching the academy. Ruby gasped and "OH wowwww!" ran towards the glass window."You can see Signal from up here. I guess home isn't too far away after all."
Yang put a hand on her sisters shoulder with a shining smile and said "Beacon is our home now."
A blonde boy near the back began to make bolstering sounds and looked ill, he ran past the two. "I guess the view isn't for everyone."
"It was a nice moment while it lasted." Ruby chimed in.
"I wonder who were gonna meet!?" Yang said happily.
"I just hope their better than vomit boy." Ruby said callously. She looked at her sisters feet. "Yang gross! You have puke all over your shoe!" she said loudly.
"Gross Gross Gross-Gross-Gross" Yang chanted as she tried to get it off by shaking it, alarming Ruby.
"Get Away, Ack! Get away from me! Get away!" Ruby started to from her sister as did what she could to avoid the pieces of vomit flying from her shoe.
As the aircraft entered the docking station. The students exited the craft and filed in the building towards the main hall where A man in green with a cane and a green scarf waited on the podium with Glynda GoodWitch. Not too far from them was a figure dressed in black with a hood over his head and in a trenchcoat. And a katana handle in view from his side. In the bustling of the students the mic on podium rang and brought the students to attention. The man with the cane, the headmaster Ozpin spoke. "I"ll keep this brief. You have traveled here in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills, when your finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you…and I"ll see is wasted energy in need oft purpose, direction, you think knowledge will relieve you of this. But being here will prove to you that knowledge can only go so far. It's up to you. To take the first step." Ozpin walked away, almost ghost like towards the figure in black. Glynda took ozpin's place on the mic and spoke.
"Tonight you will gather in the ballroom, tomorrow your initiation begins, be ready. You are dismissed." She finished. As she approached Ozpin, he was conversing with the hood. Glynda maintaining a stern expression looked to him, and seemingly nodded to him answering a question.
"He seemd kind of…off." Yang said uncomfortably.
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby said in the same expression.
"I'm a natural blonde you know." The blond from before said.
Ruby and Yang grimaced.
The end of the intiation came briefly as the teams were announced at it's end. We now arrive at Day 3 almost at the end of the school day of Beacon's Fall Semester. "I can't believe we only have this class twice a week. "Yang said her arms folded behind head.
"Of course it's another way to test us, "Team Assessments" are the school's way of deeming our individual progress." Weiss said assuredly.
"Well we came together to bring down that Giant Nevermore, this ougta be a synch, we even nailed down teamwork decorating our room!" Ruby cheered holding fist in the air.
"Yay Team Rwby." Blake said bluntly doing a small cheer
The girls entered the room that said fighting stage on it's sign. Various teams were already in there. Team RWBY approached team JNPR.
"Hey guys" Ruby said cheerfully.
"Hey." Jaune said happily. "Hey Weiss." He added with a goofy smile. She ignored him of course and took a seat.
"I'm really excited for this class. It's a chance to show how well we work as a team." Pyrrha said cheerfully.
"Yeah Weiss said something about that, but the way you said it was more upbeat." Ruby said bluntly, getting a rise out of Weiss.
"Glad to help get us brimming for this." Pyrrha said happily.
"Attention Students." Glynda said standing at the arena below the students. "We are beginning our bi-weekly Team assesments. Helping conduct these exams will be 3rd year student Cash my TA." We see a person with a scar on his face, dark skin, unkempt hair, wearing a blue shirt. His eyes were black and his demeanor plain. On his side was a katana with a gun trigger on it's handle.
Students began to murmur as they looked at him. "Cash? Wait THAT Cash!?" Weiss said flustered.
"What's his story?" Blake asked.
"Are you kidding, his team's won the Vytal Festival tournament twice consecutively. He's budding pro huntsman that's got a reputation for being possibly the strongest huntsman to graduate from Beacon. Cash…Goodwitch." Weiss said that last part quietly, as things clicked in the minds of all their friends."
"Goodwitch?" Ruby, Yang, and Blake said as they looked at Glynda questionably.
"Nooo waaay, you don't think-" Nora said questioning the name.
"His last names goodwitch." Cardin said with a snicker.
Cash aimed a feral growl at Cardin intimidating him, making his posture slouch, and almost losing color.
"Team RWBY!" The girls perked up right away. "Your first. Lets' go!" Cash said brazenly. Team RWBY walked down through the stairway into the arena.
As they gathered around, Glynda exclaims "Fight well and show what you can do as a combined force."
"Uh is this really ok? It's 4 against one." Yang voiced with concern.
"If Cash didn't have the skill to do this we wouldn't be doing these team assesments this way. Plus I'd have to give him remedial classes otherwise." Glynda said giving a glare to Cash.
"Hmph." He only Smirked.
Glynda walked a ways away to give them space. "Alright. Let's begin." Cash prepared himself. The girls whirled out their weapons and took their stances ready to fight.
Chapter End.
