Chapter 2: Welcome to Beacon
A/N: What is up guys and girls of the Internet? It's TheNegaAsian again with the second chapter. I found that I had a little bit extra time to this second chapter, and I've been wanting to since I have everything all planned out. SO… here we go. I don't own RWBY, even though I wish I was one of the writer for it. Any OC's, like Gray and Dante, are mine. Hope you enjoy!
"So, how do you know Dante?" I curiously asked Ruby as we both looked out the window; Yang and Dante still fighting each other behind us. There was actually a crowd watching the two brawls.
She began to rub her left arm nervously, like as if the story she was about to tell me was something she didn't tell many people. Anyways, she spoke in her cute voice, saying, "I met him last year at Signal. It was his last year and my first. We didn't even really know each other. I didn't really know anyone besides Yang and my inner circle of friends, so I guess I was kinda unsocial. School had just started, and I was walking in the hallways to my class, which I couldn't find." Ruby described to me in details, still rubbing her arm. "I saw a few bullies surrounding a Faunus, messing with the poor kid. I hate when people mess with the weak and unprotected, so I naturally decided to stop them. I shoved one of them away and told him that him and his friends should leave the poor boy alone. The guy and his friends fortunately let him go, but then chose me as their next target. They started messing with me next, and didn't really stop it. This was really hurting me, so I tried calling for help. With no one really around, they couldn't be stopped and they were becoming more like psychos. I began to scream, and I didn't have Crescent Rose," She patted the rectangular object on her back. "with me at the time, so I was kinda screwed. Then Dante heard me and then saved me from those jerks." I stared at her, picturing this story in my head as she told I, trying not to picture what they would have done to her if Dante hadn't come to the rescue. Her eyes started to become watery, as if she was thinking the same things, but she playfully punched me in the arm, hiding her sadness. "That's enough of how I met him. So, how did you meet Dante?"
"Well-" I began before I was cut off by an announcement.
"Attention students and newcomers: we are now getting close to Beacon Academy's Landing Pad. Please head to the airship's doors now. Welcome to Beacon and good luck!" A man's voice spoke form the speakers placed in the ship.
I shrugged and smiled at Ruby. "I guess that's a story for another time." I told Ruby.
Just then, I heard Dante's weak, girly scream behind me. I turned around to see him slam directly into the wall, having been thrown by Yang from across the room. He was beaten, but not hurt too seriously. He groaned in pain. "You win." He admitted, bowing his head down in shame.
Yang came out of nowhere, standing right next to Ruby, using her sister as an arm rest. "That'll teach him!" She bragged, putting her arm around Ruby and pulling her along towards the exit doors. I walked over to Dante, laughing lightly at him, as he laid on the ground in pain. I put my arm out for Dante to grab.
He took it, and I pulled him to his feet, where he almost fell from exhaustion. A groan of pain left his mouth as I patted his back. "Rule one about Yang: Never mess with her or her hair." I teased as I helped him walk towards the ship's doors. He limped beside me, using me as his rest and crutch. We walked through and onto the platform that separated Beacon's Landing Pad and the airship. The blonde guy who almost threw up on the ship was right next to the airship doors, letting all that he kept in, go out. We kept walking on towards Beacon, ignoring the guy, We took several more steps looking at the ground, then looked up to the wonder of Beacon Academy. Black spires and towers with orbs of green reached to the sky, touching the clouds above. The main building made the area look like a great castle from a fantasy book. To our right in the distance sat a never-ending forest, leaving a canopy of green. "Woooooowwww." Dante and I said simultaneously, amazed at the view in front of us. I then looked to my left and notice a place worth parkouring in.
I let go of Dante and ran forward towards where I was going, my friends swearing at me from behind. While I was in Atlas, I got into the great art of parkour. Like a monkey Faunus, I climbed, flipped, and jumped around the city. Now it was time to bring those things here.
I kept running forwards, looking for the greatest path. I turned right and vaulted over a bench in front of a wall. Bringing momentum with me, I side flipped, landing it expertly. "Nailed it!" I exclaimed as I moved ahead with amazing agility and speed. When I free ran, I never bailed. Not once. My Semblance was what I could thank for that. It gives me the ability to predict the future by one second, a sixth sense o say, though it tires me out after a while. This gives me mega fast reflexes, allowing me to plan my runs carefully while keeping good speed. I ran forwards, jumping and climbing up a while in seconds. I vaulted up and kept my pace, flipping and spinning while I did. I dodged and zipped through crowds of people, not one getting pushed forward by my momentum.
While keeping my fast pace, I ran up the side of a building, jumping at the last second, allowing me to grab the roof's edge. I sensed something was going to happen, so I pushed off the wall, still holding the roof's edge. I let go once I had enough momentum. The piece of roofing I held onto fell of the roof. I forced my body forward, bringing me back to hanging off the roof edge. I climbed up and started the same pace as before. I picked up speed and jumped over the gaps of buildings. I climbed higher and higher, stopping once I reached a view of the entire campus.
I was on top of the lowest tower, which reached about 85 feet into the air. "WOOOHHOOOOOO!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, standing on the edge. I brought my arms out from my side and enjoyed the breeze from this height. I chuckled as I sat down on the edge, one of my legs hanging down.
I looked over the campus, seeing students and teachers move around. From this height, they all looked like bugs. I pulled binoculars out of one of the pouches on my belt. I looked through them, seeing everything more closet than before. I looked around, finding Dante limping around; looking for me. I moved my sight somewhere else. I saw many familiar faces from Signal and Luminant, the school I went to after I moved. I looked next to a courtyard area and I saw a beautiful blonde in a tan jacket, black shorts, and yellow shirt with an orange scarf. In other words, I saw Yang, who was standing next to Ruby.
I watched the two from afar, laughing at their obliviousness to me. Ruby had been drooling over weapons that people carried as they walked in and out of my view. Unable to hear what they were saying, I watched, very confused at what they were talking about. Ruby then pulled out her red, rectangular thing, which folded out to a wicked scythe. My jaw dropped at the design of it. She put it away, saddening me. I should ask her about her weapons later, I told myself.
Yang was soon surrounded by old friends and she walked away with them, leaving her sister behind. Ruby spun around in confusion and soon dropped. She landed on a baggage cart filled with white suitcases. A pale white girl dressed in a white dress came up to Ruby and yelled at her, telling from Ruby's flinching. She opened the case, still talking, and checked the items in it. She pulled out a vile of Dust, shaking it in Ruby's face. The magical powder clouded her face. I knew from experience that a long dose of that much Dust in your face leads to sneezing. Also, sneezing around volatile things, such as Dust, is not as good. As I guessed, Ruby sneezed, which literally caused her to explode. When the smoke cleared, the red and white girls argued, a vial of Dust began rolling towards a girl reading a book in the courtyard. She picked it up, showing her features and clothing, which were mostly black or white. A bow topped her head, her face very beautiful. She talked a bit, and the girl in white walked away, obviously frustrated. The girl in black left next leaving Ruby alone, lying on the floor. I frowned at her loneliness, but I soon changed as Vomit Boy came to the rescue and helped her up. The two talked and began to walk away.
A/N ONCE AGAIN: Hey guys and girls. I now there wasn't much action and stuff in this chapter, besides the parkour. I hope you guys enjoyed this and the rest of the stories I'll write. If you enjoyed this, review, follow, or favorite if you want. If you didn't, give me some tips and feedback. The schedule will be the same. Peace out guys and girls. This was TheNegaAsian and goodnight.
