RWBY is owned by the Monty Oum. He is such an awesome inspiration. I owned nothing except one OC that will come in the future chapters.
'Hunter. Huntsmen. Huntresses. That's the dream of all the candidates here to become. On board this airship. A big floating aerial sky ship. On the way to an academy, Beacon Academy. A school which was built to train these candidates, who have spent most of their time either learning, studying, training or gaining experience needed to become a Hunter. What's a Hunter exactly? Hunters are warriors in this world of Vytal. Hunter's duty is to slay monsters and to uphold the peace of our world. Well, that's what many of the people in this airship are going to become anyway. Every candidate here has their own kind of abilities, either with their well-honed skills through years of training with their weapons or wielding the power of Dust. Dust is both a natural resource that has been used in almost every man's daily life to empowering his or her equipment, transport or weapon. How Dust came to be in our life? That's another story.'
'I'm also one of the candidates who are onboard this airship on the way to Beacon Academy. And… why am I narrating again ... '
'Oh right, to distract myself from this bile trying to make its way to my mouth and stopping myself from puking it out. Mmmph!…' *swallows the bile*.
'I'm Jaune. Jaune Arc.'
'On my merry way in this airship to one of the best academies dedicated to training people to become better Hunters. Even though I got in through… unacceptable means compare to everyone else who train in other schools to get to Beacon. But I don't care… a little bit. The chance to train at the very school my idol train in is the very reason I did it. To reach her level and fought alongside her is my motivation to do it…'
Stomach gurgling noise came once more from my body due to my very crappy motion sickness. 'OKAY! Seriously narrating isn't helping me much, how I wish for some sort of distraction right now!'
Then in the middle of the cabin Jaune was in, came a holographic projection of a television featuring the VNN(Vales News Network) news broadcasts about a criminal named Roman Torchwick escaping authorities again and that if anyone have news about his whereabouts, contacting the Vale Police Department would help them greatly.
'Thanks the DUST! for a distraction!' Jaune thought in heavenly joy. He heard some rumours about Roman. Mostly bad, but he never thought much of him. However, it's kinda disturbing that the crime he last committed was in Vale, so close to Beacon Academy. He ignored the remaining thought about Torchwick as screen changes. The scene then turned to a newscaster woman named Lisa Lavender. Lisa talk about the Faunus Civil Right Protest turning dark and the White Fang before the television hologram was interrupted mid-sentence and switches off, only to be replaced by a hologram of a blond hair woman wearing glasses.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch," as the lady introduces herself. "You are among the privileged few who received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace. And as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it is our turn to provide you the knowledge and training to protect our world."
The hologram of Glynda Goodwitch then cuts off. Another thing to distract Jaune was the view outside the viewport window, which is the city of Vale. The city was, in Jaune's opinion, big and beautiful. Not like the small town he lives in. The great view once again was stop by the gurgling noise in Jaune's stomach. "Urk!" exclaimed Jaune.
'Ok, Jaune. Remember what she taught you. Hold it in, take a deep breath, think happy thoughts,' thought Jaune. Closing his eyes while holding his stomach and slowly push back the motion sickness with the lessons he learned few years back. His loud cry slows down to a near silent mumble. But that alone is not enough, as the motion sickness slowly returns. 'Ah crap.'
Out of nowhere a girl's voice came out to his left, "Hey. Are you alright?"
Jaune slowly opens his eyes and turn his head to the left and sees two girls. One short girl with black hair with red streaks and silver eyes wearing a black blouse and a skirt with red trimmings, along with a red cloak and the other girl was almost as tall as he was with long goldilocks hair and lilac coloured eyes, wearing tan vest over a yellow, cleavage and midriff baring shirt and black shorts with an asymmetrical back skirt.
Jaune blinks twice before replying, "No, not really. Motion sickness is a pain to deal with alone. And I didn't know that we would be riding in an airship."
The short red haired girl thinks for a bit before asking, "Anything we can do to help you with that?"
Jaune's eyes open wide a bit. It was a bit shocking for him, that a stranger albeit a cute one, was willing to help him out. He is thinking twice, either to reject her offer and telling her he would be fine or accept the offer. But alas, his rumbling stomach made his choice for him.
"Mmph!" One hand holding his mouth and the other on his stomach, pushing back the bile once more, he quickly replied, "Just needs you to rub my back slowly. That would be great, thanks."
The girl looks at the blonde hair girl for a moment before she moves closer to Jaune and slowly rubs his back.
"Like this?" the red hair girl voiced out.
Feeling the soft hands moving back and forth on his back, Jaune with his eyes close, started to have a flashback of a few years ago and his stomach slowly stops rumbling as his memories plays out, a relaxed look slowly appear on his face. Few minutes later, felt his stomach finally stop rebelling his urge from puking. Moving his hand away from his mouth, he finally let out a loud sigh of sweet relief. Opening his eyes and turning his head to look back at the girl, "You can stop now. Thank you so much, that helps a lot."
The girl blink owlishly before a big smile appeared on her face. "You're welcome!" she exclaimed loudly.
The blonde haired girl looking a bit surprise then speaks out, "That was fast. That's all we need to do? Really? I didn't know we just have to rub people's back to cure their motion sickness."
Jaune then look at her and says, "Not really. It's just that it happens to me before, a few years back. I got help from someone who helps cure my motion sickness by singing out a song and slowly rubbing my back. Don't know how that works, but hey," he shrug, "it works. I just need someone to rub my back and I'll immediately have a memory of that time plays out and the next thing I know, I'm feeling better. But seriously," looking at the short girl again, "that helps a lot. I owed you one, miss."
The girl replied, "Oh hehe," closing her eyes looking sheepishly, "really, it was nothing. You just look like you're in pain."
"Yeah, and that means I owed you one big time. Would've hated it to be called 'Vomit Boy' right on the first day at Beacon," says Jaune as he bends down his body forward with a gloomy atmosphere surrounding him, "that would have suck".
Both girls then giggles at the thought. "Indeed it does," says the blonde one.
Sighing once more before replying, "Yeah I know right." Jaune then looks up, grinning. Holds out his hand to the short girl, and says, "Anyway, I'm Jaune. Jaune Arc."
The short girl then shakes his hand and says, "Ruby, Ruby Rose. But you can just call me Ruby. Nice to met'cha, Jaune. And this is my sister, Yang," pointing at the older girl. Jaune then turns towards the blonde girl who grins happily before shaking his hand and replies, "Hello. I'm Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older sister. Just call me Yang."
Jaune replied with a smile, "Nice to meet you both, Ruby. Yang." As he looks at Ruby a bit more, a question pops out of his mind, "Um, Ruby?"
"Hmm?" Ruby tilted her head cutely, "Yes?"
"I know this might be a rude thing to ask, seeing as you're a girl and all, but you seem very young to be a student to Beacon. So, just how old are you?"
"Wow, Jaune. That really is a rude thing to ask to a lady," says Yang while showing a disappointing look, crossing her arms.
"Sorry!" Jaune replied with an alert look while raising both hands. "I can't help it. The question just pops in my mind. You don't have to answer that if you don't want to."
"No, no. It's ok. I think" says Ruby. As she looks a bit worried, she replies, "I'm fifteen years old."
At her answer, Jaune could not help but stare at the cute little girl in front of him, two years early and already made it to Beacon Academy instead of the usual age of seventeen. "Wow! And you made it to Beacon already?! You must be special."
Ruby's response was unexpected, her head lowers abit and she whines alittle, hiding her head a little in the hood her cloak provided. Jaune blushes a little because she looks like a cute little puppy not getting something she wants. "But I don't wanna be special. I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees.".
Jaune blinks at her reaction for a moment longer before turning to look at Yang skeptically, "Is she… always like this?"
Yang rolls her eyes before nodding, "Yup, I just told her the same thing when I heard about it too. This is the exact same reaction when I called her being the Bee's knees just now."
Blinking once more before thinking, "Normal knees huh? Is that even possible?" He recalled something he asked before the possibility of being normal in a school of Hunters in training to someone in the past too. Recalling her answer, he responded to Ruby, "I don't think that might be possible anymore, Ruby."
Ruby looks at Jaune with an almost teary eyed look which his heart almost skip a beat, "WHAT! Why not?!"
Jaune gulps before putting his hand on his chest. He swore, if Grimm isn't going to take his life one day. This frikkin absolutely adorable girl will be the end of his life, and she's not even trying! Taking a few deep breathes before looking serious and replied, "Because you're going to become a Huntress. Every single one of us here on board this ship are no longer consider normal folks. We all studied and trained to become Hunters. The moment we applied to Beacon and got accepted into it, is the day we stop being normal. We are going to be special, slaying monsters and upholding the duty to maintain the peace in the kingdoms, but most of all we are going to become heroes. So don't you think being normal knees are almost next to impossible?"
Ruby look at Jaune with a surprised look while thinking about what he just told her before replying, "Huh, I guess you're right."
Jaune reply by saying, "Of course you're not going to be the only special one you know. I'm pretty sure some of us would like to be seen as normal knees among the Hunters."
Ruby immediately grinned at that before saying, "Yeah! You're right!"
Yang watches at the interaction with interest before smiling, "That's the way to go sis-"
Before Yang could continue any further, an announcement came through the speakers in the cabin of the airship. "To all students of Beacon, we have arrived at the destination. Please exit the same way through the entrance at the docking bay. Hope you all enjoyed the ride and good luck in Beacon."
Jaune eye twitched at the 'enjoyed the ride' part of the announcement before looking at the ceiling and started glaring at it, "No. No I don't." Ruby and Yang chuckled at his reaction before walking out of the cabin. Jaune slowly follows behind before catching up to them and walks by their side.
As they moved out of the airship, Jaune looks to his left and see the rubbish bin and sweat drops. "If it weren't for Ruby I might just throw out all of my insides in that bin as soon as we land… if I managed to hold that long anyway," thought Jaune. He then looks back at Ruby with a very appreciative expression before looking in the sky and exclaiming out loud in his thoughts with a chibi version of him crying in his hand, 'THANK YOU DUST FOR SENDING A CUTE ANGEL TO HELP ME OUT AND PROTECTING MY DIGNITY!'
He cried as he felt a jolt from something poking his right side. "Yeouch!" He looks at Ruby, who had a grinning face with her finger out and Yang behind her has her hand covering her mouth from laughing, "Ruby! What was that for?"
"You're looking at the sky with your hand closing into a fist and you look like you almost had a crying expression on your face. I called you a few times just now but you weren't listening. So I had to do something," says Ruby grinning. "And it works".
Jaune sweat drops. "So much for dignity" Regaining his composure he replied, "Just wondering about something stupid I may have done when we landed if it weren't for you. So thanks again."
"Like I say, no problem," says Ruby with a smile.
"Guys, come on," Yang says with an eye roll.
"Right," says both Jaune and Ruby before continuing their walk.
After walking out for a few yards away from the airship, which Jaune once again thanks the Dust for, they finally get the full view of the academy that they will be staying for a while.
Ruby and Yang both voices out, "Wow!" both girls completely entranced by the sight of the academy before them. Meanwhile Jaune had a different expression.
Jaune looks at the academy for a while with a focused expression before saying, "So this is it huh? The academy where she studied and trained at." He looks towards the tallest spire with a serious expression and hold out his right hand, as if he is grabbing it. He then closes it, before voicing out his thoughts, "Just you wait. In time I will reach you and your level. Until then, wait for me." He grins and puts down his hand.
Looking back down towards his companions, he saw that they both were looking at him with curious looks. Confused at why they're looking at him like that, he asks them, "What?"
Yang asked, "Who's this 'she' that you were talking about?"
Jaune's eyes open wide. He looks sheepishly before putting a hand on to the back of his head and scratches, "Oh was I talking out loud again? Sorry, bad habit."
"So who's she, the one you talk about just now? That looks like you were making a vow or a promise," asks Ruby.
Jaune takes a deep breath and exhale. "A Huntress. She became my role model when she saves me from a Grimm a long time ago."
Ruby's eyes when went big holding out both her hands towards her chin and bending her body forward towards Jaune before exclaiming loudly, "WOW! REALLY?! YOU GOT SAVED BY A HUNTRESS TOO?! ME TOO!"
Jaune's eyes opens widely before asking, "You too?" Ruby quickly nods a few times. "When was that?"
"Last week actually but I'll tell you some other time alright?" Looking down shyly at the fact that the attention turning back to her.
"It's fine, I'm just surprise. Looks like we have something in common huh? Hehe," says Jaune. In his head however, he hope they do not share the same situation.
Ruby nods smiling, before looking forward and her eyes suddenly shines as bright as a night star and turns chibified... She started exclaiming about collapsible staffs and ogling other mecha-shifting weapons belonging to other Beacon students before Yang pulled her back to her normal form. Jaune is torn between the option of looking skeptically at Ruby's reaction and laughing out loud. In the end he admit she is too darn cute to even bother any form of complain.
Yang decided to have enough with Ruby ogling every passing person with a weapon, she pulls her back to normal by her cloak, "Easy there little sister, they're just weapons," says Yang.
"Just weapons?! They're an extension of ourselves, they're a part of us!" exclaims Ruby holding both her hands together towards her chin and closing her eyes and Jaune could've swore she's almost going to start drooling or something.
"Extensions of ourselves… huh? Is that why she did that with all the weapons she carried around?" thought Jaune. He started tuning out the girls conversation as he thought this before a loud mecha-shifting sound came out next to him and shook him out of his thoughts. Turning back to look at them, his reaction quickly turn to shock.
"WOW!" Screamed Jaune as he looked at the scythe Ruby is currently hugging after she pulled out from her back as he moves back a bit like a scattered cat.
Ruby and Yang look at Jaune's reaction before laughing. "What? You look like you seen something scary," says Ruby.
"I think I just did," says Jaune.
Ruby countered with an annoyed look, "I was just kidding,"
"Yeah, I know," says Jaune calming down a little after exhaling.
Turning back to her sister Yang, Ruby says, "Well anyway, as I was saying, of course I love Crescent Rose, sis. I just love seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people." Ruby looks down sadly, "But better."
Yang roll her eyes before pulling downs Ruby's hood covering her entire head. "Ruby, come on. Why don't you try and make some more friends of your own. After all you manage to befriend Jaune."
Ruby pulled back her hood, "But why do I need friends when I have you?"
Yang's reply however was unexpected as several people apparently came out of nowhere behind Yang as she started shouting quickly, "Well, actuallymyfriendsareherenow, soIgot togo. Kcya. Bye." Yang then runs off with her group passing by Ruby as she spins around looking dizzy while spewing something about dorms.
Jaune watches the whole thing with wide eyes and continued looking at Yang as she quickly disappeared out of his sight with her group before saying, "Wow, some sister you got there Ruby." As he turn to look back at Ruby, his eyes went even wider as he saw someone moving a luggage cart trolley coming up behind Ruby as she is still dizzy and seems to be going to start falling towards the trolley. "Ruby! Stop! BEHIND-…!"
Ruby falls into the trolley resulting a few dozen luggage flying in the air before landing messily on the ground. This also causes Jaune to cringe violently before giving himself a facepalm, "Too late." He quickly moves towards Ruby's side and start helping her up. A white hair girl with light blue eyes and her long hair pulled back in an off-center ponytail wearing pale blue bolero jacket over a similar coloured thigh length dress, came up to them and started screaming, "What are you doing!?"
As soon as she stood back up, Ruby look at her and immediately apologies, "Sorry."
The girl replies rudely, "Sorry? Do you realise the damage you could have cause?!" Ruby help picked up a luggage for her but the girl rudely snatches the luggage from Ruby. "Give me that!" Opening the luggage, "This is Dust. Mined and purified from the Schnee quarry."
"Uh…?" Ruby tries to say something but was interrupted once more by the white hair girl as she picked up a tube filled with red powder Dust.
"What are you? Brain dead? Dust! Fire, Water, Lightning, Energy. Is any of this sinking in?" As she speaks out the elemental syllables, she continues swinging the tube back and forth causing the dusts from the tube to slowly fill up the air causing Ruby to accidentally inhale some, as slowly began to feel like sneezing.
Jaune looks at the scene grumpily but the swinging the dust filled tube was the last straw. He was about to do something but after looking at Ruby for a moment, his eyes turn wide as she was going to sneeze towards the dust. He quickly thought, "Oh crap! This isn't going to end well."
"What do you have to say for yourself?" With one last swing of the tube, Ruby inevitably did just that.
With cute sound from Ruby, she sneezes towards the Dust filled air, "AH-CHOOO!" Jaune quickly pulled Ruby back by her cloak away as the scene before him were filled with wild fire explosions followed by ice covering the area where the white hair girl was, he could've swore he saw some lightning too.
Neither one of them noticed a tube got blown away from the explosion and landed at the feet of a girl who is currently reading a book.
"That's gonna leave a mark," thought Jaune as he look at the spot the explosion happen.
As the smoke leaves just as quickly as it came, the white hair girl screams again as her quick reaction removes all the black soot covering her body in an instant, "UNBELIEVABLE! This is exactly what I am talking about!" as Ruby began poking her fingers together not knowing what to do or say. Jaune finally had enough with this girl.
"Hey! Stop for a moment would you! Give her a chance to apologise and make it up to you. All your yelling isn't going to settle this mess any faster," Jaune speaks out.
"BUZZ OFF! I'm talking to her, not you! Besides, this is her mess," shouted the white hair girl.
Ruby finally had enough too, "Hey, I say I was sorry, princess."
"It's heiress actually." A new voice called out behind Jaune. All three of them turn to look at the direction the voice originated from. A pretty amber coloured eyes girl with long wavy black hair and a headband attached on her head, making her looking like a cat. She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails, and a white, sleeveless undershirt, exposing her midriff white shorts but being obscured by her vest. She was holding one of Weiss's Dust filled tube. "Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."
Weiss, as the catgirl told them, says, "Hah. Finally, some recognition," while looking smugly at Ruby and Jaune.
Jaune and Ruby are a bit in shock at that news but before they could say anything, the catgirl continues, "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." Jaune snickers at that part and Ruby started laughing out loud.
Weiss then exclaims, "Wha!? How dare… the nerve of..." She quickly snatches away the tube from the catgirl's hand and started walking away grumpily with a sour note "Hmmph!"
Ruby then walks a little bit forward and shouted, "I promise I'll make it up to you". She sighs after that. She then looks at Jaune with a sad expression. Jaune replied by shrugging sadly. Ruby closes her eyes for a second before quickly turning towards the catgirl only to find out she had walk away already. She sighs once more and slid down on the floor on her legs and let her body falls on the ground before sadly voicing out, "Welcome to Beacon."
Jaune looks worriedly at Ruby before holding out his hand, "Come on, Ruby. You help me out remember? It can't be that bad."
Ruby thinks back the scene at the airship. She gave a small smile, "Yeah." She grabs his hand and stands back up. "I guess you're right. Thanks for helping me out Jaune."
Jaune grins and winks, "No problem. After all I still owed you one." Ruby smiled widely at that.
