The weather was good, the sky was clear and blue, all of these things made it a good day for flying.
A Beacon airship flew through the skies. The airship full of older teens all looking to become successful Huntsmen and Huntresses.
A young teen stood among the others. He didn't stand out and had no real reason to draw attention to himself, except his reputation back at his combat school, signal academy.
This boy stood in front of a window and stared out at the clouds. His height was something else that normally caught people's attention. It was odd for a sixteen year old to still be five seven.
This boy wore headphones, the music was loud and drowned out the noisy teens behind him.
Two teens walked through the airship, one was tall and skinny, the other short and fat. They passed this child and immediately stopped. One of them, the taller one, pointed at him and they both started snickering. The two walked up to the boy.
"Hey!" The short one called, his tone cold and rough. "What are you doing here?"
The boy slowly turned around and drew his headphones from his ears. The boy stared at the two teens, his sky blue eyes shimmered when the lights hit them.
"What?" The boy asked.
"I said, how did you get in?" The short teen repeated.
"I dunno, I guess they just finally recognized my skill," The boy said, grinning.
The two teens looked at each other and smirked.
"Ha!" They both laughed.
The boy stopped grinning and glared at the two. "What's so funny?"
"You were joking right?" The tall teen asked, wiping a tear from his eye.
"I said what I said," The boy said confidently.
The two teens resumed their laughter.
"I guess you boys find skilled people funny… that or you saw your reflections," The boy smirked.
The two teens stopped laughing and looked at the boy with solemn faces.
"What did you say, runt?" The short teen asked, walking over to the boy.
"I just called you ugly," The boy said.
The taller teen also walked over to the boy and glared down at him.
"You guys better back off," The boy said.
The two teens looked at each other and nodded.
"Or what?"
The raised his hands and his green jacket began to glow white.
"Dust clothing?!" The short teen said with horror.
Both the teens slowly began to back up, the boy smirked and quickly moved his hands.
Tiny bolts of yellow lightning shot out of his hands and hit the two teens. The bolts did nothing but make their arm hairs stand up a bit.
The two teens looked at each other and smirked, they began laughing again.
Suddenly the boy tackled the short one and pinned him to the ground. The boy started slamming his fists into the short ones face.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A RUNT?! FATTY!" The boy screamed pounding his fists into the bloodied face of the older teen.
The taller teen rushed over and threw the boy off. The taller teen helped his short friend up to his feet.
The short teen wiped his bloody lip and glared at the boy.
"You're going to die now, Sage," The short teen huffed, pulling a revolver out.
The taller teen pulled out a mace. Sage started to back up from the two teens, he held up his hands and prepared to use his jacket.
"Hey!" A voice yelled.
The two teens looked over and saw a busty teenage girl walking towards them.
"You're lucky!" The short one pointed at Sage, before running off with the taller teen.
The girl rushed over to Sage. Sage and the girl were around the same height.
The girl waved, "Hi! I'm Yang, what's your name?"
"Lance!" Lance confidently pointed to himself and held his head high.
"How old are you?" Yang asked, confused by his height.
"Me? I am sixteen," Lance proudly said.
"And you are that short?" Yang questioned, tilting her head.
"Hey! I am five seven, that isn't short!" Lance protested, stomping his foot. "Just you wait, I will be six eight one day!"
Yang giggled at Lance's annoyance. Suddenly Yang remembered something. Yang turned to a crowd of people and reached into it. Yang pulled a girl out, Lance immediately noticed she was wearing a red cape.
Yang presented the red caped girl.
"This is Ruby, my sister," Yang gleefully said, pointing to her sister. Yang pushed Ruby forward and into Lance. "Ruby, Lance. There you go Ruby, plus one friend."
Ruby went to protest, but Yang hurriedly ran off and disappeared into a crowd. Ruby sighed and turned to Lance, who was just awkwardly swaying his hips back and forth.
"Well…. Hi I am Ruby!" Ruby nervously said.
"I know, your sister just told me."
"Oh….right," Ruby said, looking at the ground due to embarrassment.
Lance looked at the ground trying to find wait Ruby was staring at. Lance bent down and walked over to Ruby. Lance stuck his head under her's.
"You're kinda weird," Lance stated.
Ruby leapt back from surprise. Ruby began to blush.
"Well… I got moved up two years," Ruby quietly mumbled.
"So? I got moved up one year," Lance said, shrugging.
"Yeah, but I don't have any friends," Ruby mumbled.
Ruby and Lance stood silently, Ruby had no idea what to say and Lance didn't really want to talk to her. Lance did feel sorry for Ruby, he was always the social outcast in school.
"Well don't worry Ruby! Because I'll be your friend and one day I will be the strongest fighter in this school!" Lance grandly declared.
Ruby giggled and smiled at Lance.
"I'll look forward to that day," Ruby said, much to Lance's pleasure. "So what kind of a weapon do you have?"
Lance's blue eyes immediately widened at Ruby's question. The young teen developed a blush.
"I don't really have a weapon," Lance said, nervously rubbing the back of his neck. "But! I do have this jacket, it has dust sewn into it and allows me to use different elements."
"Ooh!" Ruby rushed over and started to examine the jacket. "How does it work?"
Lance shrugged, "It was my father's and I have no clue how it functions, with my father gone, I only had my mother to show me and well she passed away when I was ten."
Ruby immediately stopped talking, she didn't want to intrude.
"But enough about that, I think we are landing soon," Lance said

Lance and Ruby exited the airship together. As they walked a massive crowd of people rushed out of the airship.
Lance grabbed Ruby and pulled her out of the crowd's path.
Ruby looked up at Lance, she immediately noticed he had picked her up bridal style. Ruby developed a blush, she had never been this close to a boy before.
Lance shook his head disapprovingly at the crowd. Lance then gently set Ruby down onto her feet.
"Alright Red, you may want to go find your sister," Lance said. "I'll catch up with you at a later time."
Lance walked away and so did Ruby. Lance walked further into the courtyard. The young teen sighed and stretched a bit. Suddenly he felt a hand clap onto his shoulder.
Lance turned around to see a teen standing behind him. Lance scoffed and knocked his hand away.
"What do you want Bronze?" Lance asked, with spite.
"How have you been, it is really good seeing you again," Bronze cheerfully said.
"I hate you," Lance said, sighing.
"Nonsense, I have to say you are the most interesting fighter I have seen," Bronze said, with a smile.
"Really?" Lance asked, surprised.
"Yeah, I have never seen someone get absolutely destroyed and get back up, again and again," Bronze said.
"Oh," Lance said.
"How did someone of your skill even get into Beacon?" Bronze innocently asked.
"Well I…" Lance was cut off by an explosion.
Both Lance and Bronze turned to see what had caused the explosion. They both saw Ruby getting yelled at by a girl dressed in all white.
Lance rolled his eyes at the girls.
"I have to go," Lance said, walking away.
The girl in all white continued to scold Ruby. "You dolt! What is a kid even doing at a school designed to train people to fight monsters?"
"What's an uptight rich girl doing at a school designed to train people to fight monsters?" A voice said from behind.
Ruby peered over the girl's shoulder and saw Lance walking towards her. Ruby smiled at the sight of a friendly face.
The girl in white turned around and glared at Lance.
"How dare you!" She stomped foot.
"Ladies and Gentle, here we have the rare privileged rich person who thinks she is better than everyone!" Lance exclaimed.
"Why you rapscallion!" The girl shouted.
Lance looked over at Ruby and signaled for her to leave. Ruby silently tip toed away.
Weiss stormed over to Lance and put her finger in his face.
"Who do you think you are?" The girl asked, glaring at Lance.
"Me? My name is Lance Sage."
"And do you know who I am?"
"I don't care," Lance said, smiling.
"Ugh! Whatever!" the girl said, stomping her foot and walking off.
Lance smirked and walked off. The young teen quickly realized he was lost. Lance just walked towards the school, hoping to find where everybody went.

After a long day, arriving at Beacon, tangling with that rich girl and listening to the headmaster deliver his speech, Lance was ready for bed.
Lance was in a large room called the barn. Sleeping bags littered the floor around Lance, who was resting his head on his comfy pillow.
Suddenly Lance felt like he was being watched. Lance's eyes shot open and he quickly sat up.
A girl was standing next to his bag. Lance immediately noticed she wasn't alone. A large, burly, male stood next to the girl.
"Um...hi?" Lance said, unsure of how to act.
"You…" The girl paused, examining Lance. "Are that kid from signal, the one who always got beat up and told everyone that he would be the greatest."
"Name's Lance, nice to meet you too," Lance said, holding out his hand.
The girl slowly raised her hand and accepted his handshake. Lance broke the handshake and turned to the big male and offered his hand. The large teen just quietly stared at Lance.
"Sorry, this is Iron, my name is Silver," Silver said, gesturing to her friend. "Mind if we sleep near you?"
Silver gestured to the open space around Lance's sleeping bed.
"Sure," Lance answered.
Silver smiled at Lance and rolled her sleeping bed down, Iron did the same. The two quickly laid down and went to sleep.
Lance sighed and laid back down. Lance's head hit his comfy pillow. Lance quickly fell asleep.

The sun shined into large windows that littered the walls of the barn. Silver slowly opened her grey eyes. The girl sat up and yawned. Silver looked around her, Iron was awake and silently sitting on his sleeping bag, watching Silver.
"Jeez, has anyone ever told you that you are a creep?" Silver asked.
"My parents often remark about how odd it is that I tend to watch people when they are not conscious," Iron said, his voice monotone.
"Right… anyways lets go get ready for the day," Silver gleefully said.
Silver and Iron stepped over multiple sleeping bags and made their way towards the bathrooms.
Silver took note of exactly who was up, by the time her and Iron had made their way out of the barn, Silver had scanned the whole place.
"Silver?" Iron quietly asked.
"Yes big guy?" Silver looked at her friend.
"Why are you using your semblance?" Iron asked.
"I like to keep an eye out for anything odd," Silver honestly answered.
"Have you found anyone else who can do the same?" Iron asked.
"No, that Elder told me that I would meet someone who shared my semblance and we would become rivals, but he never told me who it was or when I would meet them," Silver said, sighing.

Lance sat in the locker room, he slowly gathered his thoughts. Lance was in full combat clothing, his olive green jacket was dimly flashing a white light.
Lance played around with some lightning dust. Lance didn't know why, but his jacket didn't require the same amount of dust that regular dust embedded clothes did.
Lance looked down at the lightning in his hands, he sighed and quietly whispered to himself, "Dad, why didn't you leave an owner's manual."
Lance heard Ruby's voice.
"Heya!"
Lance turned to the origin of the voice and Ruby was standing next to him. Her smiled beamed up towards him.
"Oh hey," Lance smiled back.
Ruby wouldn't stop smiling at Lance.
"Ready for the test?" She asked.
"Meh." Lance shrugged.
"Come on!" Ruby grabbed Lance's hand and pulled him away.

Lance stood on a pad, he was rubbing his shoulder. Lance swore Ruby pulled something in his arm. Ruby was standing giddly next to him, she was very happy to have made a friend.
All the first year students stood at the edge of a cliff.
Ozpin was giving some speech, but Lance had stopped paying attention. Suddenly someone got launched off the cliff and Lance snapped out of his daydream. Lance stared at the pad he was standing on with dread.
Suddenly Ruby got launched off and Lance was left to think about a strategy. Lance didn't think for long, he was launched from the cliff like the others.
Lance sailed through the air. He quickly neared the ground. As Lance flew into the trees, he grabbed whatever he could. Lance landed on his feet.
The young teen looked around. A teen walked towards him, Lance immediately recognized him.
"Bronze!" Lance shouted.
"Hey Lance, looks like we are partners," Bronze said.
"Alright, whatever that means," Lance said, shrugging.
"Come on, we need to find the relic," Bronze said, turning around to walk away.
Lance hurried after him. Lance quickly caught up, he walked by Bronze's side. Lance was still annoyed about being partnered up with his rival from Signal. Both males walked off deeper into the forest.

Silver hurtled towards the ground, her silver air flew above her head as she sped towards the ground. Silver landed on her legs, crushing the ground beneath her.
The young teen immediately pulled out her rifle. Silver sprinted up a tree and stood on a branch, she overlooked the entire forest through her scoop. Silver's grey eyes shined through the lens.
The girl immediately looked out for Iron, but she couldn't see him. Silver huffed and brought the scope off her eye. Silver leapt from the tree and landed softly on the ground.
The girl threw her rifle's sling over her shoulder. Silver started walking, using her semblance to keep an eye out for anyone. Silver's eyes were drawn to two males close to her.

On the edge of the cliff that overlooked the emerald forest, Glynda approached Ozpin. Both teachers were holding a data pad. Ozpin gazed down at his pad, which was monitoring Lance and Bronze.
Ozpin faced the edge of the cliff and Glynda neared from his behind.
"It seems that Lance has made his partner," Glynda said. "I don't know about that boy, he doesn't appear to be a fighter."
Ozpin took a swig of his coffee.
"Glynda, everyone has a gift. This boy might not be gifted in combat, but he has something better, he's driven!"
"That won't do him much good when a beowolf eats him," Glynda sneered.
"All of these students wait for success and skill to happen, but Lance makes it happen!" Ozpin explained.
Glynda sighed, "You have a lot of faith in the boy."
Ozpin turned around and stared at Glynda.
"If you ever had children you would understand," Ozpin said.
"Ha, I could never be a mother," Glynda said, chuckling.
"I could see you with a son or two," Ozpin said, smiling.
"If I had sons, both of them would have to be amazing, like real gods," Glynda joked.
Ozpin smiled at his co-worker and looked back down at his pad. Ozpin slowly brought his mug up to his lips, the headmaster took a small swig of the beverage.

Ruby and Weiss strolled silently through the emerald forest. Weiss was completely ignoring Ruby, who wasn't happy with her partner.
Ruby was thinking about her friend Lance. The girl wondered if he was doing well and if he had already gotten a partner. Ruby sighed, she would much rather be with him.

Lance and Bronze continued their walk through the emerald forest. Lance didn't know why, but he felt as though someone was watching them.
Bronze walked ahead of Lance. The sound of twig snapping and the rustling of leaves was all around them.
"Bronze?"
"I hear it too," Bronze said, stopping.
Suddenly a hail of bullets came from the bushes that surrounded Lance and Bronze. The bullets flew toward the two males, but Bronze tackled Lance to the ground.
Bronze pulled his sword out of its sheath. Bronze pressed a button on the hilt and the blade started to glow red. Bronze slashed the air in front of him and a blade of flame flew out of the blade.
The flame blade flew towards the bushes that the bullets originated from. The flames connected with the bushes and exploded. The bushes were set ablaze and smoke rose from the burning leaves.
Silver leapt from the torched bushes, her rifle aimed at the two males. Silver didn't waste a second and started unloading on the males.
Bronze blocked every bullet with his blade and Lance stood still, not knowing how he could help.
Bronze charged Silver, who didn't stop firing at him. Bronze blocked every bullet and he quickly reached Silver. Bronze started violently slashing at the girl.
Silver rolled back and pressed a button on her rifle. Suddenly the rifle morphed into a sword. Silver smirked at Bronze and charged him.
Silver and Bronze's blades clashed and they struggled against each other. Bronze pushed down against Silver's blade. Silver was struggling to keep her blade against Bronze's.
Suddenly Bronze felt something grab his shoulder. Bronze was suddenly pulled back and thrown away. Bronze flew back and collided with a tree, his limp body laid against the tree.
Silver smiled at the figure who had thrown Bronze, "Good job Iron."
Iron lips slowly formed a smile back at Silver. It was like Iron had never smiled before in his life.
"Let's go beat this punk, they said he was the strongest fighter in Signal," Silver said, walking towards Bronze.
Lance heard Silver's words and he snapped out of his daze. Lance glared at Silver and Iron.
"Excuse you," Lance quietly said, his voice full of anger.
Silver and Iron turned and faced Lance.
"Excuse me?" Iron asked, confused.
"Not you," Silver said. Silver stepped towards Lance. "What you want?"
"You are forgetting someone," Lance said, staring at the ground.
Silver rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Is it you?"
Silver waited for an answer, but Lance didn't speak.
"A little runt like you could never measure up to someone like Bronze."
Finally Lance had enough. The male raised his head and glared at Silver. Lance's jacket started to glow white.
Silver looked at Lance, she was confused.
"I thought he didn't have a weapon?" Silver said, aloud.
Suddenly Lance threw his hands forward and a massive torrent of wind came flying from them. Silver was sent flying back and she slammed into a tree.
Lance grinned and charged Iron. Lance reached the large male and Lance slammed his fist into Iron's chest. Iron didn't even flinch, Iron bent down and grabbed Lance by his head.
"Heh, this was a bad idea," Lance nervously said.
Iron nodded in agreement. Iron picked Lance up and was about to throw him, but a fireball came flying towards him.
Iron released Lance from his hands, allowing Lance to fall to the ground. Iron spun to face the fireball and raised his arms. The ball of fire slammed into Iron's arms.
Suddenly Bronze appeared behind the fireball, he slashed Iron in his face. Iron was sent flying back and slammed through a tree.
Bronze dropped his arms to his side. He sighed and deactivated his aura. Lance came walking over to him, Lance had the biggest grin he had ever had in his life.
Bronze turned to Lance and smiled, "I knew you could do it!"
Suddenly Silver leapt toward the two males. Both Lance and Bronze frantically spun around to try and defend themselves, but they were too slow.
Silver's blade was millimeters from Lance's neck. Silver grinned at the male.
"You're lucky the two of you are cute," She purred, sheathing her blade.
Lance's eyes widened, they were full of anger.
"Why did you attack us?" Lance furiously asked.
Silver shrugged, "I was bored and needed a signal to get Iron over here quickly."
Lance rolled his eyes and turned around, he started walking away. Silver rushed after him. She started walking in front of him, looking back at Lance.
"Man we are going to make great friends… maybe lovers?" Silver said, nudging Lance.
"I'm good," Lance abruptly said.
Silver grinned, her eyes drifted to Bronze.
"What about you cutie?" She asked.
Bronze was about to answer, but he felt someone breathing on his neck. Bronze turned around and his eyes widened.
Iron was looming behind him, his eyes were wild and frantic.
"F-friends," Bronze nervously said.
Iron smiled and took a step a back, allowing distance between him and Bronze.
Silver shrugged and pointed ahead of her, "Temple ho!"
Silver rushed ahead of the three males, leaving them to frantically chase after her.
