ok so this is a new story that I've actually been working on for a while. I couldn't decide where to publish it so I just put it here. the chapters for this story will be much shorter than those of my other story but hopefully the content will be just as good if not better.
This chapter is rated like a low T, just because I don't really know all the letters for this kind of rating system.
So this story uses RWBY characters and the basic plot of RWBY is incorporated, however the team is completely unique and made by me as well as the actual story.
Enjoy.
An External Monologue:
"School starts back up today, and after an entire summer of working at the Dust shop and training alone at the local gym I'm really looking forward to going back. After what happened last year you might think that I wouldn't want to go back EVER, but it only motivates me more to graduate and be free to help people all the time. "
"So I find myself walking through the city of Vale, making some last minute supply runs. It's true that I can come here literally ANY TIME, I just want to be prepared for anything. My last stop is the small Dust shop that I worked at. The old man who owns it gives me a special discount. Can you BELIEVE he was robbed? The ONE night I was gone, too! – Oh look, there it is!"
I walk up to the shop, gazing happily at the old sign. From Dust till Dawn. I open the door and a small bell rings, getting the old man's attention. He smiles at me as I grab some cans for the dust; he doesn't talk much.
It may seem like overkill, but I grab one can for every kind of dust and fill them up, then walk over to the corner and pick out a few smaller containers. Once I have those, I go up to the counter.
"Hey, I'll get these and I'm also going to need some crystals." He nods as I list off the ones I want to buy. I place my LeYen on the counter and leave, heading towards the airship station where the school ship was waiting.
The station was busy with students from all over Vale and neighboring cities, all of them school-bound just like me. I boarded the ship for Beacon, flashing my pass the guard as I walked up. He stopped me briefly to check my stuff, guess it's not common for someone to travel with two suitcases just for dust. Or maybe it is, some white-haired girl over there got stopped too. I don't recognize her, she must be a first-year student. OSHIT SHE SEES ME! I quickly look away and walk onto the ship as the men take care of my luggage.
"Hey! Try not to blow us up!" I shout as one suitcase almost falls off the trolley.
This ship is the same as I remember; the smell of anxty noobs worrying about if they forgot their charging chord or if they have enough pencils and what if they can't find the bathrooms? I took a seat on one of the benches. Honestly, there weren't too many students beyond first years on the ship, most of the upperclassmen stay on campus or go off on jobs during the summer. The only reason I didn't do the same was because I currently lack a team, and if you stick around long enough, you'll probably find out why that is.
"Excuse me."
"Who's interrupting my inner monologue?" I looked up to see the girl from earlier.
"I'm Weiss Schnee, but you probably know that."
"Why would I know that? I've never met you… have I?"
"No, but I saw all the dust you're bringing, no doubt you bought it from the Schnee Dust Company."
"Oh. I suppose I might have." I didn't. She just seems like the kind of person to be offended easily.
"Right, well, I just wanted you to know that if the rumors of teams are true, you're welcome on mine. You obviously have good taste," she looked me up and down, "as someone who uses that much dust must have." I grinned and she seemed to sense that something was off, "What is it? What's funny? You should be grateful!"
"Well Weiss, it's a tempting offer, but there's a slight misstep that you seem to have overlooked. I'm a second year student." Her eyes widened a bit.
"Oh, well why didn't you say something sooner?! Do we get to choose our teams or are we assigned to them? How many people are on a team? What are the teachers like? They better not be rubbish, I worked too hard to get into this school."
"Woah, slow your roll. The teachers are great, there's nothing to worry about… except monsters, specifically Grimm. Oh and Glynda, I think she may be a sadist. As for teams… I can't tell you anything."
"WHAT?"
"That would spoil the fun. For me. Getting you team will be an … experience." Just as I finished my sentence Professor Goodwitch appeared on the holo-screen, signaling to me that our trip was almost over. I stood up to go wait by the door. "Try not to make enemies." Was the last thing I say to her before walking off.
The airship docked and everyone offloaded, one boy was especially quick to find the trash bin. Two men approached me with a trolley.
"Are you Barbarah Cai?" I nodded, "Here are your things." I took the trolley and proceeded towards my dorm room on the west side of the campus. Not much has changed since last year appearance wise. Just as I entered the elevator, three other students rushed in, making it super cramped with bodies and bags. Not body bags though, at least I assume none of them had a body bag. One of them, a lavender-haired boy, looked down at me. He was tall, if I were to wager: somewhere in the 5'10'' range, but that was nothing compaired to the darker skinned boy in front of me; he was probably 6'9''. Anyway, the lavender haired boy, slender and very well dressed. Not bad looking at all. He had on a fitted cornflower blue dress shirt and a purple revolutionary war-style coat draped over his shoulders. His hair was parted at the side and hung over his face in small strands. He smirked at me.
"Well aren't you a treat."
"Scuse you What?"
"I'm Anton, pleasure to meet you…"
"Bobbi."
"Bobbi, that's a very unique name, is it short for something?"
"Yeah, actually it's short for, You'll never get in my pants at this rate." The other two burst into laughter at the expense of their teammate.
"Haha, well, with an attitude like that, you must be a second year too. This is Ella Noble," he motioned to the shorter girl with blue universe hair, "and Nile Patrahk," then to the tall boy, "they're my teammates, who as you can see show no regard for my self-esteem." The elevator dinged and we all got off. I talked to the three of them as I walked to my dorm room which was appearently in the EXACT same area of the building as their room. As it turns out, Anton is the son of wealthy parents in northern Vale, Nile moved here from Haven, and Ella's full name is Zoella, both her parents are hunters, her favorite color is neon purple, she has an anti-tank canon, her favorite food is everything, she once tried to prank her headmaster who wound up with sore ankles for a week, she likes to play videogames, and she has a tomagachi named Pepe that she takes everywhere so she can show it to Grimm before she kills them. Just as a comfort.
We all stopped at room 216 and I noticed Anton pull out his scroll. I stopped. Then he stopped. We looked at each other for a second.
"Oh no, go ahead." I said, stepping out of his way. He unlocked it and went in. This could only mean one of like two things, maybe three. I thought to myself. One, they're hackers who hacked my door open so they can get information on me and the school as they pose as students, only to get rid of me later so I can't reveal them to the authorities, or thow, they're my new team. Only time will tell.
Well that was chapter one. Chapter two will be published soon. If I actually get around to typing it. AND FOR KNOB'S SAKE LEAVE A COMMENT. I LOVE TO HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE THAT READ THIS. I actually prefer a comment over a like. So leave your thoughts and ideas. Until next time
