Hey, a new story when I need to redo my other one. Sorry about that everyone but I promise I will definitely have Another Team redone at some point. Now about this story. I just had to get this idea out of my head somehow and this was the best way. There is no set pairing yet, but there will be one eventually. Enjoy, if you can.
He stood and brought his sword to bear. "I will not fall today!" He announced before returning to the battle…
"Eww! Get it off!"
'Dammit.' That's the third time I've been interrupted in my reading by that blonde. Why does she have to be so loud?
I'm currently on the airship to Beacon Academy, one of the world's best schools for Huntsman and Huntresses to learn. I sat in the farthest corner so I could get a bit of space from all the others, but, of course, that blonde has to yell about one thing or another every other second. First, it was about her sister and now it's about puke on her shoe. Why is a guy with motion sickness trying to become a Huntsman, anyway? Seems stupid to me.
It's another ten minutes before the ship lands at Beacon. I couldn't get any reading done. Fucking blonde continued to yell about stupid shit the entire time. Least now I can get away from her.
"Tch, dumbass humans," a guy's voice said from behind me. I turned and there was a guy decked out in full silver clothing with red accents. He even had silver hair highlighted red. I noticed the two wolf ears just slightly poking out as well.
"Not fond of humans then, Wolf Boy?" I asked him.
He turned to me with an aggravated look and said, "The name is Syfer, and no I don't like humans. They're all racist dumbasses."
"Not all of them are, but your racism seems too deep-seated for me to convince you otherwise, so whatever," I replied with a shrug.
"Not like you'd now human."
"Ha! I thought a Wolf Faunus would be able to tell when another Faunus is around."
"What? Where's your trait then?" He asked, confused.
"My teeth and nails. They're sharper and longer than any human's could ever be, and aren't you supposed to be able to smell another Faunus, Wolfy?"
He just "tch'ed" again and walked away. I laughed and continued on my way.
I was able to get another laugh later on when I watched the Schnee heiress get exploded by a girl when she sneezed into a cloud of Dust. It didn't take long to get to the auditorium after that where all the new students listened to the headmaster, Ozpin, spout some weird crap about knowledge and wasted potential. We all ended up having to sleep in a ballroom the school had, which I hated 'cause I don't like being around all those people. I decided to sleep up in a window sill so I could have more distance between me and them. I got my book out to read, but before I could even turn to the last page I was on, the blonde and her sister decided that I seemed like a good person to talk with.
"Hi," the blonde started with.
"Yes?" I asked cautiously, fearing the things they wanted to talk to me about.
"My name's Yang and this is my younger sister Ruby. What's your name?" She asked with a wide smile.
'Bonus points for enthusiasm, I guess.' "Name's Lilly, is there something y'all needed?"
Yang nudged her sister forward.
"Uhh, what book are you reading?" Ruby asked nervously.
"Not a people person either, huh? It's a Fantasy/Adventure about a guy that has to save his world from a demon."
"Hehe, no, not really. The book sounds interesting, though. My sister used to read to me all the time about knights and dragons. I used to imagine I was the knight going to save the princess."
"Nice dream, wish real life had the happy endings those stories have."
"Well, that's why we're here. To make the world a better place and give others that happy ending." She said it with such determination.
"Hmm, sounds nice kid. Don't mean to sound rude, but can I get back to my book now?"
"Oh yea, sorry for interrupting you."
"It's alright; see ya sometime later, kid."
"Bye!"
Interesting girl. Little too naïve sounding, but she seems nice. Time to get some actual reading done.
I jerked awake at the feeling of someone's hand on my shoulder. Looking to my side, I saw the blurry form of Ruby standing next to me.
"Yea?" I asked tiredly.
"Sorry for suddenly waking you like that but it's time for everyone to get up."
"Oh, thanks."
She smiled and headed off. I yawned and stretched, feeling the satisfying popping of my back. With a sigh, I jumped from the sill to the ground. I decided to grab some breakfast before getting ready. A nice quadruple helping of bacon later (don't judge), and I headed to the locker room to get ready.
Many of the other students were there discussing how the whole partner thing would go. I just got my equipment ready. Metal gauntlets and boots with leather armor for everything else; flexible yet still protective. I clipped the hood I wear onto the back of my leather chest piece. I love having that hood on, it hides my face from everyone. I then strapped my sword onto my back. I use a 5 foot sword that weighs about 80 pounds. Everyone that sees me thinks I can't actually use it because I'm only 5'6" and about as skinny as could be. What they don't know is, my Semblance let's me strengthen my muscles however much I want, so it's child's play to use my giant sword.
I headed to the cliff with everyone else. The view from up there was amazing; you could see almost the whole of the Emerald Forest. We all stood on these weird platform things while Ozpin talked about how we we're going to get partners. Eye contact, partner for life-pretty much. We all got prepared to launch into the forest. The pads started springing up, sending the others flying. As the time for me to launch got closer, I flipped my hood over my head and made sure my gauntlets were secured well enough. Just as I got done checking them, the pad launched me. I flew through the air for a while before angling myself down toward the forest.
So, first off, find the ruins. Easier said than done really, but let's get down to business.
'Well, this is new.' I had just entered a clearing in the forest when I saw the weirdest sight ever. A tiny girl, no more that about 4'5" in height was dancing around the dead bodies of about six Ursai. She wore the plainest dress and apparently only had a small dagger for a weapon.
"Damn." I said in awe.
"Hmm, oh a person. Can we be friends, new person?" The girl asked happily.
"If you can do this then sure."
"Yay, my name's Veronica."
"I'm Lilly."
Veronica and I eventually found the ruin, and found that the relics we had to get to pass initiation were chess pieces.
"Uhh, which should we take?" I asked.
"Mmm, this castley one." Veronica replied, grabbing a white rook piece.
"Ok, I guess that's it. Let's get back to the cliff."
"Okie doki."
Surprisingly, the only trouble we had getting back was a pack of Beowolves. One was an Alpha, but one swing from my sword with my strength enhanced ended it pretty quickly. When we got back Ruby quickly found me.
"Hey Lilly."
"Hey, kid, what's up?"
She huffed, "Would you stop calling me kid? I'm not a kid."
"Sorry kid, but that's your name until I figure out a better one. Anyway, this is Veronica. She's my partner." I waved towards her. She waved excitedly.
"Hi Veronica, I'm Ruby. You're lucky, Lilly. I got Weiss Schnee as a partner."
"Oh, don't be so down about. I'm sure once you two get to know each other, she'll be a great friend."
"I hope so, hasn't been that great so far."
"It'll get better. We should head to the auditorium now, though don'tcha think?"
"Oh yea, let's go."
It took another hour before every duo of students was able to get back to the school. Then everyone that got the same kind of chess piece was put together into a four-person team, which Ozpin then gave a name to. Ruby and Weiss got put together with Yang and her partner, a black haired girl named Blake. They were named Team RWBY with Ruby being the leader. She was extremely surprised, and Weiss seemed to be pissed about it. Yang gave her a giant hug and when she looked to me, I gave her a thumbs up and a smile. Veronica and I got teamed up with Syfer and a guy named Ryan. We were named Team SLVR with Syfer being leader, though I don't think he likes having to be on a team with two humans. I doubt I'll be spending much time with them anyway. I think of all the teams, I'll be friends with Team RWBY and enemies with a team named CRDL whose leader is named Cardin Winchester. He seems like a real dick.
Overall, this will probably be an interesting time. Or a disaster waiting to happen. Time will tell.
