YO! Reborn123 here and I'm back with a new chapter. Been busy with few days and the fact that I'm taking an online courses have lessen my time in making fanfics. But don't worry I'll still continue writing and try to update this story at the best of my abilities.
Also I'm looking for Beta Reader. Anyone interested please PM.
Anyway, here's the next chapter
Chapter 2: Welcome to Beacon
Fly cam footage
The footage reveal Rune near the windows of the airship as he was looking at the camera.
"I'm nearing at the academy and I'm kinda nervous. I don't know why but I feel like something bad going to or something weird. I just hope that this day doesn't suck." Rune said with small frown on his face as he put on a thinking pose.
Fly cam footage Ended
The airship finally arrived the academy as the hatch opened and the student are making their way out and towards the entrance. Rune, Yang and Ruby were looking at the entire Beacon Academy
"Wow..." Ruby said in awe.
"The view from Vale's got nothing on this!" Yang said.
"I have to say. It's very impressive" Rune said while nodding his head but was cut off when he heard Ruby.
"Ohmygosh, sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" Ruby said excitedly. Rune just sweatdrop at this while Yang pulls Ruby hood so she wouldn't move "Ow! Ooww!"
"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons!" Yang said.
"'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!" Ruby said
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"
Ruby pulls out her weapon in scythe form and hugged it. "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..."
Rune just shook his head while Yang playfully pushing her sister's hood down over her face. "Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?" Yang asked.
Ruby takes off her hood and said. "But... why would I need friends if I have you and Rune?"
Yang was hesitant at this "Well..." When suddenly a group of other students surround Yang and they all dash down the road "Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up. 'Kay, see ya, bye!"
Ruby spinning and dizzy-eyed from Yang's sudden leaving while Rune just watch disbelief that Yang would leave them like that. "Wait, where are you going?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" Ruby asked dizzily before stopping for a moment, still reeling "I don't know what I'm doing..."
Ruby falls backwards into a luggage cart, sending cases flying. Rune quickly went for his sister aid.
"You okay Rubes?" Rune asked as he helped his sister up.
"I'm okay" Ruby said as she accepts Rune hands and stand up.
Someone is standing in front of them. The girl is a pale skinned young girl with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara. A crooked scar runs vertically down her left eye.
She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this she wears a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar.
She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back.
Rune immediately recognized her. She was Weiss Schnee the heiress of Schnee Company. He never thought that he would find the girl very beautiful.
"What are you doing?!" Weiss said angrily at Ruby. Rune could already tell something bad was going to happen.
"Uh, sorry!" Ruby said nervously
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?" Weiss shouted at Ruby.
"Uuhhh..." Ruby was getting scared at Weiss glare.
"Give me that!" Weiss said as she snatches the luggage from Ruby and opens it to reveal a vial of powdered dust. "This is Dust - mined and purified from the Schnee quarry!"
"Uuuhhhh..."
"What are you, brain-dead?" Weiss said as she was holding out a vial of red Dust and shutting the case "Dust! Fire, water, lightning, energy!"
"I... I know..." Ruby said as she starts coughing from the Dust pouring into her face
"Hey! Stop shaking that." Rune said as he saw that Weiss is carelessly shake the vial in front of Ruby but Weiss ignored him.
"Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!" Weiss said. Ruby, who had been receiving more and more Dust to her face, finally sneezes, which erupts into a full-blown explosion of flame, snowflakes, and electricity right onto Weiss.
The bottle she had been holding flies over the courtyard and at the feet of Blake Belladonna, who picks it up and notices the Schnee Dust Company logo on the side as she reads from a book and looks over at the scene.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" Weiss said.
"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby apologize and was complete embarrassed
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" Weiss question Ruby, who was now completely nervous at this point.
"Well, I-I...-"
"This isn't your ordinary combat school.-
"Okay that's enough!" Rune said as he finally was fed at Weiss for treating Ruby like that. Weiss and Ruby looks at him and saw that he was giving Weiss a glare.
"First off Miss Ice Bitch. You are the reason why the explosion happened! For fuck sake. You consider yourself an "expert" of dust but you keep shaking the vial in front of her." Rune said to her while mocking her at the expert part. Ruby was surprised at Rune cursing but was happy that he defended her while Weiss was shock at what Rune just said to her but the same completely embarrassed.
Weiss face turn red in anger as she glares at male in front of her.
"HOW DARE-"
"AND SECOND!" Rune rudely interrupted Weiss that causes her rage to grow more. "Nobody talks to my twin sister like that especially a spoiled flat chested girl." Rune said as he insulted her on Weiss small chest.
This just Weiss to grow her hate on Rune. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?!" She said to him but Rune just shrugged at her.
"A spoiled princess that made me want to smack you so hard in the head." Rune asked sarcastically. Weiss about to shout at him again but a voice cuts her off.
"It's heiress, actually." The voice said. Ruby, Rune and Weiss look over and saw the girl that was approaching them.
It was is a fair skinned young girl with amber eyes and long black hair. A ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head. She wears purple eyeshadow in catseye style.
She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo of the real life Japanese zipper manufacturer.
She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair.
The girl was a complete mystery to Rune but the same was mesmerized at her beautiful appearance.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." The girl continued.
Weiss smiled smugly as she forgot about Rune and focused more on the girl in black. "Finally! Some recognition!"
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." The girl said that causes Weiss anger to return once more as Ruby and Rune chuckled at her statement.
"Wha- How dare you- The nerve of... Ugh!" Weiss gets up in girl in black face and takes the bottle from her that she was carrying before walking off in a huff as her helpers gather the luggage and follow.
Ruby still felted sorry for Weiss "I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby sighs as she turns around "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day... So, what's..." She sees Blake walking off as well, then collapses to the ground on her back "Welcome to Beacon..."
Rune kneels down and let out small smile. "Come on Rubes. It's only been the first day." Rune gives her his hand. "Come on. Get up little sis."
"I'm not your little sis!" Ruby said as she gets up without Rune help."
"Yes, you are!" Rune said to her.
"But I'm older than you!"
"By a few minutes! Besides I'm taller than you!"
"Because you're a guy and it's natural that you're taller than me!"
"Well if you haven't focused on eating sweet all the time then you might grow taller more. Maybe you should cut off the cookies and strawberries."
"NEVER!"
"Hey there" A voice said. The two stop arguing and turns around and saw the guy in the airship who was vomited on Yang boots. "I'm Jaune nice to me you." The blond male said nervously.
"Ruby. Call me Ruby." Ruby introduced herself to Jaune.
"Rune…Hey aren't you the guy who vomited on the airship?" Rune asked that causes Ruby to giggle and Jaune to groan.
Soon the two were walking around Beacon Academy inside the walls that are filled with scenic trees, arching architecture, and a winding road alongside a river.
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune compl
"Look, I'm sorry! Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby said while giggling.
"Oh, yeah? What if I called you Crater Face?" Jaune said to her causing Rune to laugh a little.
"Hey, that explosion was an accident!" Ruby said before turning to Rune who was laughing at the nickname.
"I'm so going to use that nickname on you Rubes!" Rune said. Ruby just groaned at this. She just hoped that Yang never hears this.
"Well, the name's Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue - ladies love it!" Jaune said in full confidence.
Ruby looks skeptical while Rune just gave him deadpan look "Do they?" The twins asked in curious/deadpan tone.
"They will! Well, I-I hope they will. My mom always says that... Never mind." Jaune said. Rune just patted his back in comfort, which Jaune appreciated.
Ruby giggles before a short, awkward silence falls before she spoke again. "So... I got this thing!" Ruby pulls out Crescent Rose and stabs it into the ground.
Jaune jump in surprised while Rune just shook his head. "Whoa! Is that a scythe?" Jaune asked.
"It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!"
"A-wha...?"
Ruby cocks the weapon while smiling. "It's also a gun."
"Oh. That's cool!" Jaune said before turning to Rune. "How about you."
Rune just pull out his weapon and Jaune was surprised at seeing the weapon changed into a giant sword.
"Woah…That's one big sword." Jaune said. Rune nodded before separating the sword into two katana blade.
"Rune calls it. Roses and Thorns. I helped Rune designed that weapon." Ruby explained to Jaune. Jaune just nodded before looking at Rune.
"Do you feel tired in carrying all the time?" Jaune asked. Rune returns his weapon back to it's normal state before hides it away.
"Not much. I may not look like it but I'm a really strong guy." Rune said with full confidence. Jaune look at Ruby for confirmation and Ruby nodded her head in agreement.
"So what've you got?" Ruby asked Jaune.
"Oh! I, uh..." Jaune unsheathes a blade "I got this sword!"
"Ooooohh!" Ruby said awe while Rune was scanning at the blade.
"Yeah, and I've got a shield, too!" Jaune said as he gets his scabbard, raises his arm and expands the metal into his defense.
Ruby touched the shield "So, what do they do?"
Jaune fumble with the shield as it retracts off his arm, expands, and retracts again before putting it back in place and finally shrinking it down for good, placing it on his belt "The shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just... put it away..."
"But... wouldn't it weigh the same?" Rune asked.
"Yeah, it does..." Jaune said dejectedly.
Ruby giggle at this "Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, sooo... I guess I did go a little overboard when designing it."
"Wait - you made that?!" Jaune said as he pointed at Crescent Rose.
"Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons! Didn't you make yours?" Ruby said.
"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune said to her.
"Sounds more like a family heirloom to me!" Ruby said with a few laughs before continuing "Well, I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days."
"Yeah, the classics..." Jaune said while sheathing his sword.
"Besides it might be a good thing Jaune." Rune said.
"Why do say that?" Jaune asked curiously.
"Some weapons that has been passed has connection with their ancestors or have some great powers hidden among them. You could never know. You might unlock it." Rune said. Jaune brighten up in hearing this.
"Hmm." Ruby looks around and said. "Hey, where are we going?"
Jaune: "Oh, I don't know! I was following you."
"Don't worry I know where the ceremony is being held. Just follow me." Rune said as he lead the way and two followed him.
The trio arrived at Beacon Academy's giant auditorium, filled to the brim with people. Ruby looks over when she hears Yang's voice.
"Ruby! Rune! Over here! I saved you a spot!" Yang shouted as she waved her a hand for the twins to see her.
"Oh! Hey, I-I gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!" Ruby said as she was going towards to Yang.
"See ya later Jaune." Rune said as he headed to the same direction.
"How's your first day going, little sister and little brother?" Yang asked as she looks at the two only to receive a glare from Ruby and deadpan look from Rune.
"Oh, nothing much except that fact that Ruby exploded" Rune said with deadpan tone.
"Yikes! Meltdown already?" Yang asked.
"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?" Ruby said.
Yang was smiling broadly and asked "Are you being sarcastic?"
Ruby scoffs and continued "I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!"
"Um Rubes?" Rune said as he pointed at Weiss but Ruby ignored him as Weiss was glaring at Ruby.
"You!" Weiss shouted at Ruby, who quickly jumped into her Yang arms.
"Oh, God, it's happening again!" Ruby said.
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" Weiss scolded her.
"Oh, my God, you really exploded..." Yang said with surprised look on her face. She couldn't believe what Ruby said really happened.
Ruby gets down from Yang arms and look at Weiss "It was an accident. It was an accident!" Weiss holds up a pamphlet titled 'DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals' to Ruby "What's this?"
"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field." Weiss said and to Ruby it was really fast and squeaky tone while Rune just look at Weiss in slight awe at how Weiss memorized that stupid policy.
"Uuhhh...?" Ruby said in confusedly
"You really wanna start making things up to me?" Weiss asked.
"Absolutely?" Ruby said.
Weiss handed the pamphlet to Ruby "Read this, and don't ever speak to me again."
"Like that's gonna help." Rune muttered under his breath but unfortunately Weiss heard him and turn to his direction.
"YOU!" Weiss shouted angrily at him.
"Nice to see you too Ice bitch." Rune said with sarcastic voice which only pissed her off more.
"I'm going to-"
"Look, uh, it sounds like you three just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?" Yang said as she cut Weiss off. She knew that Weiss just going to scream at her brother and her brother would shot back only to piss the girl off more and she really doesn't want to see that. This two will just cause headache to her.
"Yeah! Great idea, sis!" Ruby said as she puts the pamphlet away before holding out her hand as she clears her throat. "Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"
Weiss speaks with a sarcastic voice. "Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall and dark handsome over there?" Weiss ended as she pointed at Rune, who look at her with a raised brow.
"Really?!" Ruby asked in suprised.
Weiss just gave a glare and replied "No."
"Wow, I never thought I was able to capture the interest of you, ice queen." Rune said with sarcastic tone.
"Quiet you! And what do mean by that?" Weiss asked and Rune gave her an amused smile.
"You describe me as a tall and handsome guy. Are you interested in having a date with me?" Rune said with teasing smile. After hearing that, Ruby and Yang look in surprised at Rune because they never thought Rune was ever interested in girls before since he practically ignore majority of them when he was in signal while Weiss was stuttering mess as her face turned red in embarrassment and anger.
Soon a booming sound came around that causes attention to drawn to the stage where Professor Ozpin is readying the microphone with Glynda beside him.
"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction." Ozpin could hear murmurs around the crowd but he continued. "You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
Ozpin ended his speech before he walks away. Glynda steps up to microphone and said "You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."
"He seemed kind of... off." Yang said.
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby said.
"Don't know why but don't care. I'm going on ahead. Rubes, Yang" Rune said to his sister before leaving. He ignored Weiss calling him angrily about his comments earlier.
The first night at Beacon, students are splayed out in sleeping bags. Ruby, in her pajamas and with a sleeping mask around her head, is writing in a journal when Yang crashes next to her, similarly dressed.
"It's like a big slumber party!" Yang said.
"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though." Ruby said as she continues to write on her journal.
"I know I do!" Yang said as she purrs as she watches several muscular, shirtless guys... and Jaune, dressed in footie pajamas, waving to her, which makes her groan before she returns her attention to Ruby. "What's that?"
"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." Ruby said.
"Aw, that's so cuuuute!" Yang teased Ruby before being knocked back as a pillow is launched at her face.
"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school! It's weird not knowing anyone here!"
"What about Jaune? He's... nice! There you go! Plus one friend! That's a hundred percent increase!"
"Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero..." Ruby said as she turns to her back.
"There's no such things as negative friends! You just made one friend and one enemy!" Yang said before being hit with another pillow, this time looking like a dog, to the face. "Look, it's only been one day. Trust me; you've got friends all around you! You just haven't met them yet!" Yang looks around and notices that Rune was missing. "Hey, Where's Rune?"
"He said that going for a walk for a while." Ruby said.
"Why?" Yang asked. Ruby turns to her with a small frown on her face.
"He's having one of those visions again…the bad ones" Ruby said with sad tone. Yang frown in hearing this.
"He's still having those nightmares has he?" Yang asked softly. Ruby just nodded. Soon silence fell on the two as they worried on their brother health.
==With Rune==
"It's a peaceful night." Rune said as he gazed onto the moon of Remnant. Rune was wearing a simple black shirt, red pants and red slippers. Rune was currently at the balcony of Beacon academy as he continues to gaze on the moon.
Rune looks at his hands and they were trembling slightly as visions of his past memories came to his mind
==Flash back==
"We will always be together right brother?" a small grey wolf faunus with amber eyes said to him happily.
"Of course. He is a hero and heroes keep their promises." a small red hair human girl with blue eyes said to him while smiling.
"Of course! I will always keep my promise!" A younger version of Rune said to them which cause two cheer and hug him.
Soon the scene change where a village was set on fire. All humans and faunus alike were all killed, slaughter to the ground.
Rune was could only watch in horror as he saw the young faunus and red hair girl died before his eyes with a blade pierce to them by a dark figure.
"SARAH! NICO!" Rune shouted in horror as he saw the two turned to him with small smile on their faces.
"Goodbye…brother" The girl said with tears coming to her face.
"Live…on…for us." The boy said before the two died in front of his eyes.
"No! No! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
==Flash Back ended==
Rune snapped out of it and saw small tears were dripping into his trembling hands. Rune could only clench his fists.
"…I'm sorry…I'm sorry I couldn't protect you both." Rune muttered.
==Next Day==
Rune wakes up and saw majority of the students were still asleep. He decided to take a shower early before the others wake up. He took a shower before going into the diner to have some breakfast. Rune quickly ate his breakfast before heading to the locker room. Rune sits down on one of the benches near his locker and relaxed himself a few minutes has he waited for the initialization test.
Soon few minutes later people were entering the locker room. Rune finally moves out from the bench and went to his locker. He opens it and grabbed his weapon, Roses and Thorns and checked it to make sure that everything is well. Rune nodded after seeing that everything is working well before putting the weapon normal state and putting it around the back of his waist. Rune soon heard Yang and Ruby voices.
"Wonder what those two are so worked up about?" Ruby said.
"Oh, who knows? So, you seem awfully chipper this morning!" Yang said. Rune took a peek and saw that Ruby and Yang were talking to each other.
"Yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Ruby said happily as she strokes Crescent Rose.
"Well, remember, Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you wanna grow up, you're gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together." Yang said to her.
Ruby sighs in frustration at hearing this. "You sound like Dad! "She shoves her weapon into the locker as she continues. "Okay, first of all: What does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly: I don't need people to help me grow up! I drink milk!"
"But what about when we form teams?" Yang asked.
Rub suddenly looked nervous. "Um, I don't know, I... I'll just be on your or Rune team or something..."
Yang brings her hair around her shoulder and stroking it. "Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?"
"My dear sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?"
"What? No! Of course I do! I just thought... I don't know, maybe it would help you... break out of your shell!" R
"What the-?! I don't need to 'break out of my shell'! That's absolutely-"
"Ridiculous? Crazy? Take a pick sis?" Rune said as he approaches his sisters. Ruby and Yang surprised at Rune sudden appearance.
"AH! Don't do that!" Ruby complained as she was scared at sudden appearance of Rune. Rune just smirk at her.
"Nope!" Rune said happily which made Ruby glare at him.
"Hey Rune, morning." Yang greeted her brother. Soon her expression turn into a worried one. "You alright now?"
Rune looks at her with a raised brow. "Yeah, why did you think of that?"
"Well, Rubes told me last night that you were getting those vision again." Yang said with Ruby nodding in agreement. Rune just sighs and scratch the back of his head.
"Don't worry about it. It wasn't that bad." Rune said with small smile on his face.
"You sure?" Ruby asked him. Rune just nodded.
"Well, just tell us if it's bothering you, we are family afterall." Yang said. Rune just smiled at her before they soon they heard Weiss shouting at someone. The trio looks towards the voice and saw Weiss, Jaune and a girl with red hair with them.
The trio listen as Jaune a fool out of himself at the girls. The red hair girl seem to have a positive vibe towards Jaune while Weiss was basically thinks that Jaune is complete doofus. Soon Jaune started walking like complete idiot before he looks back just in time to see a spear strike him, sending Jaune flying into the wall.
"I'm sorry!" The girl in red said.
An announcement plays on the intercom system.
"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately." Glynda announces.
Weiss passes Jaune as he hangs from the wall of a locker on her way out. The girl in red follows her, grabbing her spear and dropping Jaune to the ground.
"It was nice meeting you!" The girl said.
Jaune slumps against the locker and muttered. "Likewise..."
The trio approaches Jaune "Having some trouble there, lady-killer?"
"I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?" Jaune said as he accepts Ruby's offered hand and uses her to lift himself back up.
"'Snow Angel' probably wasn't the best start." Yang said.
"That's wasn't good move anyway. You just made a fool out of yourself." Rune said. Only to receive a smack from Yang. "What?!"
"You really suck at pep talk." Yang said to him.
"Well, I'm just telling the truth. What do what me to do? Encourage him to continue to act like complete idiot that will make girls scared of him or think of him an idiot." Rune said which made only Jaune slump his shoulder and bow his head in shame.
"Come on, Jaune, let's go." Ruby said. Ruby leads Jaune out of the locker room by supporting him and his damaged self-esteem.
Soon everyone was at the Beacon cliff overlooking a forest, where several students — some old, some new, and some unseen — are standing on silver tiles in front of a mug-holding Professor Ozpin and Glynda with her tablet. Rune was besides his twin sister Ruby and wore a serious look on his face.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin said before Glynda steps forward.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of "teams." Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today."
"What? Ohhh..." Ruby said in shock while Rune narrowed his eyes.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin said which made Ruby groaned but ignored as he continues. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
"Whaaaat?!" Ruby said shock while Rune couldn't only feel slightly sorry about Ruby.
"See? I told you-!" A girl with orange hair said to the person beside him.
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die." Ozpin said with serious tone in the end.
"Well this what we sign up for anyway." Rune muttered under his breath as he rolled his eyes at the obvious thing about the test.
Jaune laughs nervously and then gulps loudly.
"You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will reguard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked.
"Yeah, um, sir?" Jaune said as he raised his hand but was ignored by Ozpin.
"Good! Now, take your positions." Ozpin said.
Everyone strikes a pose on their tile. The girl in orange hair crouches low, the boy in green clothing wields his weapons, Yang raises her fists, Ruby readies her body, Rune crouches as he grabbed the handle of his weapon and Jaune is still raising his hand.
"Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question." Jaune said as he continues nervously "So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?"
"No. You will be falling." Ozpin said.
"Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?"
"No. You will be using your own landing strategy."
"Uh-huh... Yeah." Jaune said nervously
At her turn, Yang winks at her younger sister and brother, puts on a pair of aviators, and flies off with a "Woo-hoooooooo!" a second before Ruby joins her.
Soon Rune joins the duo as he was send flying into the air. Rune flew into the air for few minutes before he quickly wasted no time but pull out his weapon. He quickly separated his weapon into two before throwing one of blades into a very tall tree. He disappeared from sight and appeared where the blade that stab on the tree was. Rune quickly grabbed one of the branches of the tree before pulling out the red blade from the tree. He looks down and saw it was good spot to land and drops his blue sword to the ground. The sword stabs to the ground and Rune quickly disappeared and reappeared again to where the sword was.
He grabbed the blue sword before he put the blades back together into a great sword again. Rune looks around and saw that no one around. He pulls out his scroll and activated it before the scroll suddenly have small rotation blade and started flying.
Fly cam footage
"Everything good, droid?" Rune asked. The machine made some small computing noises as a confirmation. Rune nodded his head. "Good, this is the first time recording my fight. So this will a good opportunity to test it out." Rune said. Before a noise was heard in the bushes and then came out a beowolf grimm appeared before him. The grimm let out howl and charges towards Rune. Rune prepares before he swing his blade and cut the beowolf.
"This is going fun." Rune said with small smirk on his face before turning to flying cam. "Come on!" Rune said as he started running with the camera following him.
Fly cam footage Ended
Well this the end of the second chapter and I hope you all like it. A small part of Rune backstory is reveal which play later part on why he said he has different childhood from siblings, which something also made think of a theory if it's possible in the RWBY series.
Anyway, there some people who are asking about Fly cam footage. I'm gonna used it at the later part of the story and the same time it's could be used as a spin off story if I ever get mental block of the story. Anyway, Review, Favorite and follow this story. Anyone who, has an OC idea please give them to me as PM message. I won't accept Review messages.
Again, I'm looking for Beta Reader, anyone interested just PM that said Beta Reader wanted.
