New Project? Seriously?
Look I'm impulsive, I jump from project to project, but I will dedicating alot of time to this one. Consider all of my other projects dead, except Separation and Taming the Destroyer. Also, for fans of my smut works I'm working on a big RWBY smut project on the side, staring Yolanda from Separation. Without further ado...
Chapter 1: DWMA
Ruby walks down the sidewalk slowly, Yang at her side. Yang could barely hide her excitement, while Ruby was more than aprehensive. Yang pats Ruby on the back "Come on sis, it's gonna be great!" Ruby frowns "That's easy for you to say, you already have both your weapon partners."
Yang sighs "Sis, I already told you, you're going to find the perfect partner. Everyone does. You just need to let it happen. Relax and be cool. If there is anywhere for a miester to meet their weapon partner its Death Weapon Meister Academy. I'm sure you will attract someone, with how sharp you are."
Ruby groans. It was too early for this. Yang raises her finger "I'm sure you will understand, in time, that I have a point. In no time, you will be cutting your way to the top. Just remember what I said little sis, commit this little slice of life to your memory." Ruby groans "Please stop sis." Yang looks up at the school "Welp, we're here. I'm cutting you loose, because I'm gonna split."
Yang rushes off and Ruby slumps over, until Maka walks over to Ruby. Her face instantly brightens "Maka!" Maka smiles "Hey! Good to see ya." They bump forearms, their own little way of greeting each other since they were 7. Maka puts a hand on her shoulder "You ready for this? This is the start of a whole new adventure." Ruby shrugs and looks down "I mean, yeah, but I seem to be the only person I know without a weapon partner."
Maka shrugs "To be fair, you don't know alot of people. Besides, there are many weapons without partners at the academy. You are bound to resonate with someone. And with your semblance... you are pretty lucky." Ruby narrows her eyes "Yeah right, I'm not the one that can shoot blades out of my arms and back and stuff. You are a weapon and miester. That's, like, the coolest thing ever!"
Maka sighs "You know motivational speeches aren't my best thing. But, I know you will find a weapon partner. And she or he's gonna be your best friend to boot. And one day people are gonna be cheering your name." Ruby smiles "Thanks for cheering me up. I tried to talk to Yang-" Maka sighs "And she hit you with puns." Ruby nods and Maka giggles "Why am I not surprised?"
Maka walks towards the front doors "Come on, first class starts in 10 minutes." Ruby runs towards the door "Race ya!" She darts past Maka, nearly knocking her over. Maka shouts "That's not fair!" She runs after the trail of vanishing flower petals. Ruby slides to a sudden stop as a young teen walks out of one of the classrooms, but she is too late, slamming into him and knocking his books everywhere. Ruby scrambles to her feet, gathering his books which were strewn from one side of the hall to another "I'm sooo sorry! I.. I didn't mean-" He clears his throat "It's usually best not to run in the halls."
Ruby turns towards him and she is surprised to see that he is strikingly handsome. He had short cropped black hair, ice grey eyes, and a warm smile. He was wearing a white Achieve Men band tee shirt and a pair of black jeans. Ruby smiles "Yeah... so... you listen to music?" He chuckles "Doesn't everyone?" Ruby nods "You're right, yeah... everyone listens to music."
He smirks a little, then his warm smile returns "So, do you think I can have my books back?" Ruby thrusts them forcefully towards him, and then she takes a step back, frowning "Sorry..." He tilts his head a little "Quirky." She smiles "That's me. Ruby... the... quirky one." She squeaks when he holds out a hand, balancing his 5 books on one hand "My name is Marik. I'm a weapon, just started today."
Ruby shakes his hand politely "I'm a meister. My semblance is speed." Marik chuckles "You shouldn't play around with your semblance like that. You could of hurt someone. Lucky you, I'm pretty tough." Ruby smiles sheepishly, blushing "Yeah, sorry about that." Marik nods his head politely "I need to go now, I have class. I believe you have class as well." The bell rings and Ruby straightens up "Oh man! I'm going to be late!"
After her classes for the day, Ruby walks outside, Maka walking next to her "... but then I dropped my book and I noticed everyone watching me. Such an embarrasing first..." She noticed Ruby not paying attention, staring straight ahead at Marik, who was talking to a small group of friends. Ruby's eyes glaze over as she stares at Marik and Maka waves her arm in front of her face "Earth to Ruby? Ring ring, hello, it's for you!" Ruby looks over at her "Yeah, embarrassing. Right."
Maka folds her arms "You didn't pay attention to anything I said, did you?" She sighs, then smiles "This is perfect. You should go talk to him." Ruby goes wide eyed "But I made myself look like a doofus!" Maka giggles "Which is different from the usual how?" Ruby frowns "Thank you for being so supportive."
Maka nudges her "Hey, you should go talk to him. From what you told me, he's a really nice guy. Go on." Ruby frowns "I guess..." She walks towards his group and he nods to them "Alright guys I'm going to head home." He turns and spots Ruby "Oh. Ruby, right?" Ruby nods "Hey Marik." He smiles "First day of classes went well?" She nods "It's awkward without a weapon partner."
Marik smiles "I know just what you mean. I'm not able to resonate with anyone. You know, that's actually why I was wanting to talk with you before you left. I like meeting new meisters, because most the ones I know I either can't resonate with or they have a partner already. I want to see if we could resonate."
Ruby smiles "I don't see why not. Course knowing the person makes it easier to resonate with them. But if our personalities align, there's no reason it won't work." Marik gives her a thumbs up "Lets kill it." Ruby giggles "What was that?" He frowns and lowers his hand "It's like, a catchphrase. Catchphrases can be cool." Ruby looks around, expecting Soul to walk by any minute to tell Marik how uncool he looked, but looks like it was up to her "Catchphrases are... you know what, it's cool, you do you." Marik turns into a large scythe with a black handle, and a black and grey blade. The point where the blade is connected to the handle seems to be on a hinge.
Ruby reaches out and grasps Marik's handle (please don't read that out of context) and she lifts him, smiling "You look sooo cool as a weapon. You look cool all the time though." She blushes, and then she hears his voice in her head "The true test comes when you try to channel your aura. Go ahead." Ruby begins to channel her aura into Marik and he glows brightly. Ruby smiles "I think that means we match. Who would of thought, all these years I didn't think I would find a partner, then I ran into him on my first day."
Yang felt a disturbance.
Blackstar leaps down from a lampost next to Yang, and she shakes off this strange feeling. She smiles "Blackstar, right? We have Sid's class together. What's up?" Sid walks up from behind Blackstar "Blackstar wants to challenge you to a fight, and per the rules I tagged along to oversee it. Should you choose to accept." Blackstar grins "Oh yeah! I'm on a mission to beat everyone in this school, starting with you. It'll be good training to build me up for the day I surpass God. Yahoo!"
Yang puts her hands on her hips "You sure are full of yourself. But I can't turn down a fight. Alright Blackstar, fist to fist?" A crowd begins to flock around the two as they slowly circle each other, staring each other down. Yang stops, shifting into her boxing stance. Blackstar leaps into the air, going for a diving kick. Yang leaps back and Blackstar pivots on his foot as soon as it touches the ground, spin kicking Yang in the head. She reels from the kick but recovers quickly, shifting into a defensive stance.
Blackstar rushes at her and goes for a right hook, but she deflects it aside, throwing Blackstar off balance. Blackstar reverses his momentum, elbowing Yang in the jaw. Yang responds with a hard right, straight into Blackstar's sternum and she knocks him back a few feet. Ruby and Marik run over to join the growing crowd, and when she sees her sister fighting Blackstar she throws her hands up in the air "Kick his butt sis! No mercy!"
Maka walks up next to Ruby "Hey who would be dumb enough to pick a fight with Yang?" Blackstar rushes towards Yang, slide kicking Yang in the legs to trip her, then he pushes off one hand, backflipping in the air and landing on one foot "You can't beat a master ninja!" Maka facepalms "Great, it's him." Yang pushes herself to her feet, cracking her neck. She leaps towards Blackstar, going for a spinning ax kick, and Blackstar leaps back from her but she follows up with a rising uppercut that knocks him airborne.
Yang crouches into a runner's stance, watching Blackstar as he lands on his feet. Yang darts towards him, arm pulled back for a punch. Blackstar smirks and ducks his head down, Yang's fist connecting with his forehead. He endures her strike, the ground under him fracturing. A large grin spreads on his face and Yang takes a few steps back "Wow, you have a really hard head!" Blackstar leaps over Yang, his elbow sparking with electricity. As soon as his feet touch the ground, he leaps towards Yang from behind "Ultimate Move: Blackstar Big Wave!" Yang turns around just in time, blocking his blow with the back of her hand, which is charged with aura. This causes a shockwave that cracks the ground and causes the crowd to cover their faces. "You aren't the only one who can use Soul Force."
Blackstar backs up from Yang, taking a minute to catch his breath "I knew you would be a worthy opponent." He folds his arms behind his head "Wadda ya say we call it a day? I'm getting kinda tired, after having an entire day worth of classes." Yang smiles, giving him a thumbs up "Yeah sure, I had a blast. I'm glad I got to start my school year off with a Yang." She pauses for dramatic effect, eliciting many groans from the crowd. "Your moves were really striking." Blackstar chuckles "Oh man you are so funny..." He sighs "We are gonna be good friends..."
