The sun reflected off the glass of the airship as I gazed upon the city of vale below. My moment of peace and quiet was interrupted by a loud voice.
"HEY Jason! Whatcha lookin at?" yelled my little brother from across the ship.
"Liam," I responded coldly. "You don't need to shout from across the goddamn airship!"
"Sorry,' he said quietly as he put on some puppy dog eyes to try and make me feel guilty.
As we stared out onto the city the airship began to descend towards the platform.
"Look Jason," he said as I followed his finger and saw an elegant looking tower surrounded by buildings. The grandness of it all took my breath away.
"It looks even bigger and better in person," I exclaimed as all the students in the airship rushed to the window to gaze upon the school.
We heard an audible thud as the airship docked onto the platform. As soon as the doors opened I saw a scraggly blonde boy rush out and vomit into the bin on the platform. We stepped out onto the platform and took another look at the school. We noticed the time and decided we could wonder around a little bit and explore the school.
Liam decided he wanted to wonder around alone and It was fine by me.
"Finally I got rid of him," I said as I let out a big sigh of relief. I began walking around the front of the school still gazing at the architecture.
"Still lookin at old buildings," said a voice out the corner of my eye "I thought you would have got enough of it at signal,"
When the person finished I instantly recognized the voice.
"Emmanuel is that you?" I asked as I turned around to see my answer was correct.
"The one and only," he boasted, "So how have you been doing, are you still really shy?" he chuckled after he finished talking laughing at his own joke.
"Yeh I guess, but hey, I am who I am," I responded by punching him in the arm lightly.
"I guess so too," He chuckled.
"Oi are you having a reunion without me," shouted a figure from the tree.
"You've got to be kidding me Oscar you're here too," I said with a hint of excitement.
"Yep it's me," as his tail wrapped around the branch of the tree "I just hope the people here don't hate faunes' as much as they did back at signal,"
"Is Liam here as well?" questioned Emmanuel
"Yeh he is," I responded, "We'll have the entire gang back together,"
"This is going to be great time here at Beacon," said Oscar
"You can say that again," I responded.
Our reunion was cut short by an explosion behind us.
"WOAH," exclaimed Oscar as he fell out of the tree "What was that!"
We ran towards the cause of the explosion to find Liam already there helping up a Red head girl.
"What happened Liam?" I asked
"Nothing really major Ruby here accidently sneezed and blew up vile of dust held by Miss Stuck up princess over there," as he directed our vision to a white haired girl.
Emmanuel rushed over and helped up the white haired girl.
"Are you alright?" asked Emmanuel as his white hair shone in the sunlight.
"Ye..s," stuttered the white haired girl
"I'm Emmanuel Huntingdale pleasure to meet you Weiss Schnee," as he bowed and kissed her on the hand like a gentle men.
Weiss immediately blushed a deep shade of red then she slapped Emmanuel.
"You dunce," she shouted "Who do you think you are?"
"I'm surprised you don't recognize me," Calmly said Emmanuel as he rubbed his cheek.
"Immediately Weiss' eye's opened in shock.
"Emmanuel is that you?" she questioned
"Yes, the one and only,"
Weiss jumped up and hugged Emmanuel. While all this unfolded Oscar, Ruby, Liam and I just stood there with our mouths open standing in complete shock.
The two just stood there in an embrace until their "moment" was broken by Liam.
"Um guys we should start heading inside,"
Weiss broke the hug with Emmanuel and grabbed his arm, leading us into the auditorium. Ruby dragged Liam and I over to a blonde girl who turned and pulled her into a tight bear hug.
"RUBY!" Shouted the blonde
"Yang," gasped Ruby "Air… need it to live,"
Yang let go of Ruby and looked over to where Liam and I were standing.
"Ruby who are they?"
"Oh that's Liam," as she pointed in Liam's direction "and that is his big brother," as she pointed at me but her face was in a deep concentration.
"I never learned your name?"
"My name is Jason Yun," I responded
"Well it's nice to meet you," beamed Ruby
"I hear you came from Signal academy Ruby. Do you happen to be the niece of Professor Qrow?" I asked and as I finished Liam's face went into shock.
"Yes I am. My name is Ruby Rose pleasure to meet you Jason," She responded
"You went to Signal!" exclaimed Liam as he grabbed Ruby and began interrogating her about the school. The two looked extremely happy talking about school and there experiences at Signal. What I didn't notice was the Blonde standing next to me.
"They grow up pretty fast don't they," said Yang as she walked up behind me
"Yeh they do," I replied "so you know my name what's yours?"
"Yang Xiao Long," she said as she leaned on me pressing her breasts against my right arm.
I stood there calmly like nothing had happened. "Yang what are you doing?" I said calmly "Because people are staring,"
"It's alright I'm used to this kind of attention," she said "Because of all of this," as she directed my vision to her body.
"Okay," I replied with no hint of arousement as I directed my vision towards the stage. Yang just stood there dumbfounded then a smirk appeared on her face.
After Professor Ozzpin finished his speech we shuffled towards the ballroom and I laid out my sleeping bag near my friends. I began conversing with Emmanuel as Weiss walked over and sat down next to Emmanuel then lying down and resting her head on his lap.
"Well you two seem to be a thing," I said slyly
"I guess you could say that, we used to be really close at high school until I moved to Signal when I was 12," Emmanuel said as he stroked Weiss' hair
"I've known Emmaunel for a long time, since we were kids actually," said Weiss as she shifted her posture to face me, "he was one of the few actual friends I had when I was little,"
Liam walked over to where we were and sat down. "Jason you really can't take a hint, even I can tell when someone likes you,"
"And who exactly likes me," I said as I reached for a bottle of water
"Huh, you really are thick aren't you… it's Yang," said Liam
I did a spit take as I spat out a mouthful of water, covering Liam in water.
"What!" I said
Everyone in front of me started chuckling. "You know you act all calm in front of girls but as soon as they go you start freaking out," said Emmanuel as Weiss' began snickering.
"Well I guess she is kinda nice," I said but was interrupted by Yang as she threw her self onto my bag.
"Who's kinda nice Jason" she teased.
"Well you're kinda nice," I said as my face began blushing deep red. As soon as I finished Yang jumped on top of me and pressed her breasts against my chest.
"But…uhh…that doesn't I like you or anything," I stuttered out trying to hold back another blush.
I looked over to my friends and they were on the ground laughing their heads off.
"Jason you were always like this," laughed Emmanuel "even at signal you were always like this even though you were one best fighters and could totally take on any grimm you were still so shy of girls,"
"Really?" questioned Yang as she looked at me, "Why would you be afraid I mean your kinda cute," This caused me to blush even harder. I tried to steer the conversation away from me and towards something else.
"Hey guys where's Oscar I haven't seen him since this morning?" I said trying to too take the topic off me.
"Hey your right where is Oscar?" questioned Liam "He's usually with us, joking about?"
"He'll be alright its Oscar, I mean he's a tough dude," I said as I finished I looked at my watch and decided it was time to go to sleep. I stood up and began walking to my bag before I reached my bag I heard someone running towards me.
I activated my sembalance, in a blink of an eye I vanished from thin air. I sidestepped out of the way and spun around to see who was running after me remaining invisible. To my surprise it was Yang standing there dumbfounded obviously trying to grasp what just happened in front of her, me disappearing in front of her.
"That's Jason for you!" Yelled Liam
"Looks like Yang got a taste of what his sembalance is," Chuckled Emmanuel as Weiss also jumped up in surprise.
"WHAT WHERE DID HE GO!" exclaimed Weiss
I decided to play a little joke I walked over to Yang and stood about 10cm away from her and then deactivated my sembalance. The sudden reappearance of me right in front of Yang scared her so much she reacted the only way possible she punched me in the gut with her weapon sending me flying across the room slamming into the wall. I slowly came out of my dazed state to find Yang hurrying over to me and my friends laughing their Asses off.
"Are you alright?" asked Yang as she helped me up on my feet.
"Well considering what happened…I've been through worse," I responded slyly
"Well that's what you get for surprising me," she laughed as she punched me lightly on the arm.
As we continued talking I noticed Oscar walk into the ballroom followed by a girl with a bow on her head.
"Hey Oscar!" I shouted as I motioned him to come to the group. He turned and walked over to us followed by the girl in black.
"Guys this is Blake," said Oscar as he motioned towards Blake. She simply just stood there behind Oscar.
"Hello, my name is Blake Belladonna," said Blake
"See now was it that hard?" asked Oscar as he turned towards Blake who just looked down at her feet, she then started to walkover to what seemed like her sleeping bag and she sat down and took a book out of her bag. Oscar walked over to where Blake sat and sat down next to her occasionally talking and reading.
"Well I'm going to call it a night, see you guys in the morning for initiation," I said as I made my way to my bag and laid down. I began drifting off to sleep and then eventually fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling extremely hot I was about to get up from bed until I realized I was anchored down by something. I looked to my right to find Yang lying next to me I immediately jumped up in surprise waking up Yang.
"Morning Jason!" beamed Yang as she got p and stretched.
"Um…what were you doing in my bed?" I asked blushing heavily
"Huh…" she sighed "you really don't take the hint do you?"
With that we got dressed and made our way to the cafeteria.
"Morning you two!" exclaimed Ruby as she scoffed down some pancakes.
"Ruby what have I always told you swallow then speak," replied Yang as se lovingly pinched her sister's cheek.
"Morning bro," said Liam as he spat out his food all over me.
"Liam what have I told you keep your mouth shut when you're eating!" I exclaimed after the short disciplining Yang and I went to go and grab our food. She occasionally glanced over at me smiling and every time she did I felt something inside of me spark. We walked back to the table and began eating our food. A little while later Emmanuel walked into the cafeteria with Weiss by his side.
"Morning you two lovebirds," I said while trying to hold back a laugh along with Yang who also looked like she was about to laugh.
"How was she?"
As I finished my sentence I felt a slap connect with my face.
"You absolute brute!" yelled Weiss "How could you be friends with someone like this,"
"You know Weiss sometimes I ask myself the same question," he replied sarcastically.
"Hey if it wasn't for me you would of ended up a pile of Ursa crap," I joked
"What?" asked Weiss
"Well…long story short Jason's saved me more than once," Emmanuel said as he looked over towards me then back to Weiss "So you could say without him I wouldn't be your boyfriend,"
When those last few words came out of Emmanuel's mouth everyone sitting at the table except Emmanuel did a spit take showering each other in Orange juice and coffee.
"What…you dunce?" stuttered Weiss as she tried to hold back a blush
"Well maybe this can answer your question," calmly said Emmanuel as he leaned in and passionately kissed Weiss on the lips.
"I love you,"
"Well hate to be the bearer of bad news,' said a unknown voice "Could you two love birds slide aside,"
I looked up and saw Oscar and Blake standing there.
"Wow Oscar way to kill the mood," I laughed
"I'd say the same to you as well," he retorted "but we should probably keep that a secret,"
"Keep what a secret?" smiled Yang as she realized her opportunity to black mail me.
"Umm it's nothing really," I said trying to get the situation under control.
"That's not how you acted," teased Emmanuel
"Hey Ruby want to learn why Jason is so shy around girls," said Liam as he looked towards me.
"Well I all started 2 years ago," said Oscar as he thought of the moment "We were all at lunch when mister grimm killer decided to confess and ask a girl out to the school formal and she simply rejected him right then and there in front of the whole school,"
Yang stood there in complete shock then burst out laughing along with the rest of the people at the table I how ever simply burrowed my face into my arms and said "PLEASE, KILL ME NOW!"
"How could anyone reject this guy,' said Yang as she poked me
"Well this was before he was a badass," said Oscar "Afterwards he was completely different from before,"
"If you guys will excuse me," I said as I stood up "I'm going to go prepare for the initiations,"
I headed off to the locker room and approached my locker and opened it pulling out my weapon it was a huge great sword that stood 170cm tall which at the push of a button the front slid back to reveal a massive gun. I took my weapon out in its gun form and began loading in large caliber dust rounds. When I finished I put on my jacket and earphones and just sat back on the bench relaxing myself before the initiations begin after everyone started to make their way their way into the locker room I stood up and made my way up to the launch platforms and waited for everyone to take their positions. The professor gave a quick speech about team's and how you would need your own landing strategy. When the Professor said about finding landing strategy I heard the blonde next to me gasp I looked over and saw that it was the same blonde from the airship.
"Oh hey vomit boy," I joked "I'm Jason Yun,"
"Jaune Arc,' he said
As soon as he finished talking I was launched into the air. The wind was racing past my face as the ground came closer and closer until I pulled out my blade and fired a large round at the last second into the ground the force of the bullet just enough to slow me down o an acceptable speed before I hit the ground. I landed with a hard thud but quickly brushed it off as I raised my gunblade instinctively I heard the sounds of a fight going on and headed in that direction I burst out of the bushes to find Emmanuel standing over a dead Ursa pulling an arrow out of it's head. He turned and looked at me.
"Guess we're teammates now," he said
"Couldn't ask for anyone better," I replied
"It'll be like the old signal days," he said
'We should probably find the others, you don't want to keep your girlfriend waiting," I smiled
We started to walk around the forest trying to find the rest of our friends we stumbled upon Yang and Blake fighting a horde of Beowolves and Ursa's and it looked like they were losing I turned to Emmanuel and he nodded he pulled back on his bow and let loose a barrage of arrows the first wave of beowolves were killed by the hail of arrows in the second that followed I rushed forward with my great sword slamming it into the head of Ursa simply crushing it like a coke can. Then shifted my attention to a group of beowolves converging on Yang I switched my sword into it's gun form and let of a few shots the explosive rounds tore away at the group of beowolves turning them into a pile of mangled corpses.
"Yang you alright!" I yelled as I ran towards her
"Yeh I'm fine," she responded "Thanks for the help," as soon as she finished a Ursa came barreling throught the bush. It tackled Yang to the ground and began attacking her. In a fit a rage my eyes turned red as I charged towards the Ursa it turned to face it's new attacker but it didn't have time to react as I brought down my great sword splitting it down the middle.
"Get away from Yang you animal," I yelled as I sheathed my blade and looked around for where Yang was and noticed her limp body on the ground, panic shout into my mind as I thought the worst. I rushed over to where Yang was and looked down noticing her broken arm and cuts on her body I started to cry
"Why am I crying" I thought to myself "I don't love her do I?"
"Jason!" said Emmanuel as he ran towards me "It's time to go!" He motioned towards the horde of Grimm behind us.
He noticed Yang's body on the ground and me standing over it he acknowledged the situation we were in and said
"Where's Blake?"
Our question was answered when Blake dropped form the tree along with Oscar and Liam.
"Nice of you guys to drop in," I said trying to lighten the situation
"Well we're glad to see you too," said Oscar as he pulled out his weapon "Blake found us and told us to come here,"
"Looks like we came just in time as well," added Liam as he also readied his weapons
I reached down and hoisted yang up on my shoulder and with my spare hand lifted up my gun.
"Guys I have a plan," I said as they looked at me attentively. "I'm going to fire my weapon and use all for canisters of dust, hopefully that will make a boom big enough to confuse and or possibly kill the Grimm that are converging on us"
"Sounds like a plan," said Oscar
I lifted up my weapon and released the safety on the dust canisters letting the dust infuse my weapon. It started to glow red until all the dust canisters were empty. I took a moment to survey the area and decided that it was time to kick things into overdrive. I raised my weapon and took aim, a brief second passed before I pulled the trigger. A bright red beam of energy raced from my sword hitting the incoming horde of Grimm. In a blink of an eye the area in front of me was ablaze.
"SHIT!" I shouted "I didn't except t to make that big of a bang!"
"We better hurry," yelled Blake "Because we've only slowed them down and they seem very pissed as well!"
We made our way quickly through the forest occasionally stopping and checking on Yang who still hadn't woken up. We reached a clearing and noticed a large gathering of people near some ruins, which, I assumed was our goal. We reached the ruins and there were a lot of looks directed my way then suddenly Ruby burst from the crowd running up to me in tears.
"Is Yang okay?" Cried Ruby
"Yeh. She's all right," I said as I laid down Yang "She's a tough girl,"
"Well there is no sense in dilly dallying our objective is right there," said Weiss as she pointed towards some chess pieces.
"Umm guys," said Jaune, as soon as he finished a deathstalker burst out of the woods along with a horde or Ursa's some of which had badly burnt bodies.
"Why are they so burnt?" said another Red headed girl
"Well I kinda did blow up half the forest…" I said "So I guess the grimm that survived the explosion are kinda pissed off,"
"GREAT YOU ABSOULUTE DUNCE," screamed Weiss "Now we're done for!"
"I had to do it!" I screamed back "It was that or Yang being killed,"
"Well can't you do that again?" asked Ruby
"Sorry Ruby got no juice left," I replied as I lifted up my weapon ejecting four empty dust canisters
"How much dust did you use!" exclaimed Weiss
"Umm all of it," I sarcastically "I did also take out about 3 quarters of the grimm that was chasing us,"
"Not to alarm you guys they're getting closer!" calmly said Blake
"Well they're probably after me so I'll draw them away," I replied calmly ","ut to do that I'm gonna need all the dust you have snow princess,"
Weiss reluctantly handed over all the dust she had which filled about 2 canisters.
"Will that be enough?" she questioned
"I hope so or I'm so screwed," I laughed as I loaded the canisters into my sword "Now get out of here!" as I fiished everyone ran to grab an artifact and rushed off leaving me and a horde of angry Grimm.
"Well if I'm gonna die I'm gonna go out in style," I thought to myself
The first Ursa thundered towards me I quickly dispatched him with ease. Ursa after Ursa they kept coming until they started to pull back.
"Yeh you better run!" said Jason but my moment of victory was cut short by the screech of a deathstalker.
Shit was all I could mutter before I was knocked back. I slammed my self against the wall which broke both my legs I screamed in pain as the deathstalker approached me.
"Aww to hell with it," I said as I deactivated the safty of the dust canisters and waited for my weapon to glow red the moment the canisters emptied themselves the deathstalker was already within 50m of me and closing in. I raised my weapon with all the strength I had left and an image flashed before my eyes. It was Yang. Right then and there in the face of death I realized that I did love Yang.
"Go to hell," was all I said before I pulled the trigger blowing away the deathstalker. There was a bright flash of light and I was out like stone.
I woke up in a white room. I looked around and saw an I.V stand next to me. I noticed that I was in a hospital room.
"What happened," I thought to myself. I began slowly rising out of the bed but felt some resistance. I looked down and saw Yang lying on me. I looked down and smiled.
"She looks so innocent," I thought to myself
I began stroking her golden hair. She was woken up by the sudden movement on her head.
"Jason you're up," she smiled
"Yeh I am," I said trying to shake off the side affects of what had to be morphine.
"I was so worried," Yang said as she wrapped herself around me.
"Me too," I said. Yang all of sudden let go of me and looked at me.
"I was really worried when you were unconscious,"
"I was worried when they wheeled you in and you were all bloodied up and bruised," said Yang with a hint her of her beginning to tear up.
"Well it's ok now Yang, I'm here," I said as I mustered u all the courage I had , leaned in and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss.
I broke the kiss and looked at Yang who sat there completely wide eyed.
"Yang, I love you," I said as I pulled her in for another kiss this time Yang was the one who broke the kiss. As she pulled away I immediately thought of the worst
"YOU IDIOT JASON," I thought to myself "YOU BLEW IT!"
But my fears didn't come true as Yang said
"Took you long enough," she smiled as this time she pulled me close for a kiss.
The kiss this time was more passionate and filled with love.
"I love you too Jason," said Yang
Yang stood up and climbed onto the hospital bed and laid down next to me.
She instinctively pulled me close to her as she buried her head into my shoulder, we began falling asleep the heat radiating of her warming our two bodies as we laid there in a tight embrace.
I was woken by the door opening and a series of gasps. I slowly woke up and opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was my friend's standing at the door looking at me in shock.
"Well I'll be damned," said Emmanuel
"I never thought I'd see the day," exclaimed Oscar
"Good on you bro," said Liam. "Well looks like I owe you 50 lien Oscar," as he handed Oscar a card
"Thanks for the confidence Liam," I said looking at him with a disapproving face.
