Chapter 2: Beacon
Victor stepped off the airship with his new friend, Kaylee-Ann. She talked a little more than he would have liked, but beggars couldn't be choosers. The same blonde kid ran out of the air ship and threw up in the trash can. "How is he supposed to fight monsters when he can't even hold down his lunch?" Victor thought as he walked by the kid. He had to stop and observe the massive school that stood before him.
"Never thought I would be here." He thought. "This is so cool!" Kaylee cheered. "I can't believe we are actually here right now!" She continued talking, but he learned to tune her out and saw a small girl in a red hood fall over and into another girl's luggage. The white haired girl proceeded to scream at the hooded girl about something and Victor walked over to end it. He was nearly to them when he noticed the white haired girl shaking a bottle of dust at the hooded girl, who looked like she was going to sneeze.
Victor stopped as the hooded girl sneezed and caused a small elemental explosion. "This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" The white haired girl barked. "I'm really really sorry." The hooded girl apologized.
"You complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"
Victor had heard enough from this girl and walked over to her. He stood at her side as she yelled and proclaimed "I think you should stop now." She turned to him, ignoring his size and barked "And who do you think you are?!"
"I'm the guy standing nearly three feet over you and could crush you without a thought, and who exactly are you to be screaming at this small girl here?"
"I am Weiss Schnee."
"Schnee? Why does that sound familiar?"
"Because she's the eris to the Schnee Corporation." A female voce proclaimed. Victor looked around and instantly fell in love with the girl, no, the woman that was approaching them. She had long black hair with a bow at the top of her hair. Her yellow eyes looked like small suns to Victor. "One of the largest energy producers in the world." The woman continued.
"I know them!" Kaylee proclaimed. "Finally!" Weiss proclaimed. "Some recognition!" She looked to the hooded girl like she was supposed to know who Weiss was. "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." The black haired woman continued.
"How dare… the nerve…" Weiss growled, unable to form a coherent sentence. She snatched a bottle of dust from the woman's hands and stormed off. She turned and started to leave and Victor simply stood there and watched her walk away. "Let's go find out where we're supposed to go!" Kaylee-Ann proclaimed as she took Victor's hand and tried to pull him away. Instead, Victor started pulling Kaylee as he went after the woman he had just met.
"I have to at least learn her name." Victor thought as he went off after her. He could hear Kaylee-Ann protesting, but he ignored her and finally caught up to the woman. She turned and looked at him with her gorgeous yellow eyes, causing his train of thought to derail and crash. "Can I help you with something" She questioned. Victor opened his mouth, but struggled to find the words he was looking for.
"What are we doing right now?" Kaylee-Ann questioned. "Victor!" He blurted, surprising everyone. "What?" The woman questioned.
"My name is Victor."
He held out his hand awkwardly and hoped that he didn't royally screw this chance up. The woman smiled and shook his hand. "Blake." She introduced. "Blake Belladonna." Victor was glad that he was wearing his mask, because he was smiling like an idiot. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Blake Belladonna." Victor proclaimed as calmly as he could.
"You can let go of my hand now."
He didn't realize that he was still holding her hand and immediately let go. "Sorry about that." Victor apologized as he rubbed his hand against his pants. Blake laughed as Kaylee-Ann cleared her throat. "Right!" Victor proclaimed. "This is my friend Kaylee-Ann." The two shook hands and Kaylee-Ann proclaimed "It is awesome to meet you! And great how you took that Weiss girl down a peg because she seemed really mean. We, well, I didn't mean to follow you but Victor seemed intent on talking to you since he dragged me all the way here."
Victor just wanted to stop her from talking because of the last part she said. "Well it is nice to meet you both." Blake proclaimed. "We should be going. We have a meeting to get to." She turned and started walking towards the school. "Why exactly did we run after her for?" Kaylee-Ann questioned. "I just wanted to learn her name." Victor proclaimed as he continued to watch Blake walk away.
"To learn her name? That was it?"
"Yes."
"Someone has a crush!"
"What!? No…"
"Yes you do! You have a crush on Blake!"
"Shut up. Let's get going."
He started towards the school as she practically sung "Big ol' Victor has a big ol' crush on little ol' Blake!" He groaned "Can you please stop singing that song out loud?"
"Embarrassed you big ol' teddy bear? It's natural for a guy to like a girl."
"I know, but you don't need to advertise it. I kinda want to keep a tough guy reputation."
"Whatever you say, Teddy Bear."
"Is that seriously going to be my new nickname from you?"
"Yes it is Teddy Bear. It's because you may be a big imposing guy, but you are just a big softy on the inside."
"Just kill me now."
"You should show Blake your soft side! Girls like sensitive guys!"
"I would rather not do that."
"Come one!"
"This is going to be a long four years."
