Finally, time for some RWBY characters to get involved! I don't own RWBY, yadda, yadda, yadda, let's get going!
Several minutes after they had ran, the pair saw a girl laying the middle of a crater, eyes closed and arms spread out. The girl had black hair with red highlights. Black and red seemed to be what she was going for, since she had a red cloak with a hood that draped down close to her heels, a black blouse connected to a black skirt, with red ruffles at the end of it, and black leggings that spanned the length from the hem of her skirt, to her boots. The boots were up to her shins, black, with red heels. Ryan couldn't help but smile. She also had some peice of machinery attached to her belt at the back that was painted red and black. She looked defeated, AND seemed to be the source for the explosion. Ryan took a few steps and blocked out the sun from her face. "Hey," he said softly, hand extended to her, "the name's Ryan." The girl opened her eyes and stared up at him for a few seconds with her silver eyes.
"Ruby," she replied, grabbing his hand and smiling. Ryan hoisted her up with ease.
"Wait a second, you look familiar," Ryan looked at Ruby closely. Ruby turned back to Ryan after dusting herself off. He then snapped his fingers, a name being placed with the picture. "You're Ruby Rose!" After a few seconds, Ruby looked at Ryan, and she snapped her fingers as well.
"And you're Ryan Kick!" she exclaimed in excitement. All Serena could do was shake her head and stand by, watching the two talk. "But wait a second..." Ruby continued.
"You should be at Signal right now!" the two cried out in unison. Both their eyes went wide. "How did you get here early?" Ruby asked.
"Ozpin had a certain... promise he had to keep with me. So, he fulfilled it by bringing me to Beacon a year ahead." He gazed over at Ruby, but his eyes narrowed slightly. "But how in the heck did you get here?"
Ruby just giggled. "Let's just say I got Ozpin impressed and leave it at that."
"I don't mean to jump in at a bad time or anything," Serena spoke up after being out of the conversation for too long, "but you two are gonna make us late to that speech if we take any longer here." With that, Serena grabbed one of Ryan's and Ruby's arms, and began marching them to the main stage, where the speech was going to be made.
"Uhhhh, I don't mean to be rude or anything," Ruby started, "but who are you exactly?"
"My name is Serena Orthos," she smiled. "Nice to meet you Ruby Rose."
"Likewise," Ruby glanced in Ryan's direction, but he just shrugged. They were being pulled along anyway.
Several minutes later...
The group of three had finally arrived at the mian stage. Ruby was scanning the crowd, seeming to be searching for somone. Ryan had noticed that and he prodded the question, "Looking for someone Ruby?" Ruby nodded silently.
"Yep. I just don't see her... Oh, there she is! Yaaaang!" Ruby was waving the direction of a blonde haired girl. Her head snapped in the direction her name was called out, and a smile lit up her face when she realized it was Ruby who was calling for her. Ryan and Serena were unsure why. Ruby tugged at Ryan's arm. "C'mon, she's got some empty space beside her, you two should come and join us."
"Alright, alright, I'm coming, don't worry," he said as Ruby let go of his sweater and led the way through the crowd in Yang's direction. It seemed easy enough, but there were actually quite a number of people gathered at the viewing area of the stage. After navigating through the sea of initiates, Serena and Ryan caught up to Ruby, who was receiving what looked to be a rib crushing hug from the person known as Yang. Ryan cringed a little at this sight; it looked like it hurt. A lot. After Yang had dropped Ruby to the ground after all of her protest, Yang looked up and noticed Ryan and Serena standing there, looking at the two of them. "And you two would be...?" Yang trailed off, expecting an answer from Ryan or Serena.
Serena took up the conversation. "We're friends of Ruby's. I'm Serena, and this is Ryan." Ryan waved to point out who he was. Yang smiled and nodded her head.
"My name's Yang, Ruby's sister!" she chriped enthusiastically.
"Hang on a minute, you two are sisters?" Yang and Ruby nodded. "How? There isn't a single bit of resemblance between you two!"
Yang scratched her head and paused for a moment. "Well... its complicated." Yang wasn't about to elaborate, and was lucky when she heard the sound of someone testing the microphone used onstage for its audio quality.
"You!" an angry voice sharply snapped from behind the group of four.
Ruby immediately jumped up and landed into Ryan's arms. "Oh god, why now?" Ruby whined.
"You're lucky we weren't blown the side of the cliff, you klutz!" the white haired girl was obviously infuriated. The girl was literally the opitome of white. Her white hair was tied into a pony tail that hanged off the left side of her head, she had a white jacket, and a white shirt connected to her white skirt. She had a grey rapier hanging from the left side of her white belt, which was tied into a bow at the front. She also had ice blue eyes, harsh and cold. Her white, shin height boots gave her a bit of height, since the had a fair heel on them.
"Um, Ruby, care to elaborate on this please?" Ryan politely asked Ruby. Ruby hopped out of Ryan's arms to begin the explanation when someone cleared their throat and began to talk into the microphone. Everyone turned to direct their attention to Professor Ozpin, standing on top of the stage.
"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 proptection of the people. But, I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at this shcool will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you, to take the first step." Professor Ozpin stated.
Professor Goodwitch then took to the mic. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed!"
Yang immediately piped up after the professor's were done talking on the mic. "He seemed kinda... off."
Ruby nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, almost he wasn't even there."
The girl with white hair had her mouth open, ready to snap at Ruby, more than likely for something else that she did, when Ryan immediately cut her off. "Now now, I'm sure we can discuss this civially Miss...?" Ryan trailed off, leaving the girl in white to answer the question.
"Weiss Schnee," she replied, very matter-of-factly.
Serena spoke up, "Oh, like the Schnee Dust Company?"
"Exactly," Weiss confirmed. Meanwhile, a thought flashed through Ryan's mind. Weiss Schnee... White Snow... Interesting. Immediately Ryan picked up on what happened between Ruby and Weiss. Klutz... Ruby must've tripped over Weiss or something... The explosion... Maybe it had something to do with... dust? Being blown off the cliff? There we go!
"I'm gonna guess Ruby caused something of yours, maybe some Dust, to explode," Ryan guessed.
Ruby and Weiss just stared at him with gaping mouths. Serena just nodded. "Yeah, that would probably be the most logical explanation."
"This doesn't change anything, you child!" Weiss snapped after pulling herself together, and walking away with an attitude.
"Sheesh... Do you think she'll ever let up?" Yang asked concernedly.
Ryan and Ruby shrugged. "You never know... she might." Ryan replied.
"Well, I'm gonna head up to the ballroom and get my stuff ready for tomorrow," Serena said, "Anyone wanna join me?"
Ruby and Yang nodded, agreeing to go with Serena. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," Yang said brightly. "Hey Ryan, you coming?"
"I'll be there later. I saw something that piqued my interest," Ryan replied in earnest.
"All right then," Ruby said, and the group of three girls turned and headed towards the main building where the ballroom was.
So many colorful characters here at Beacon. Ryan thought to himself, as he turned and met eyes with a boy who was staring straight at him. And yet another one to add to the list. Ryan smiled and waved his hand beckoning the boy over. "Come on, you crazy son of a gun! Staying out of the action always was your style!"
"Oh, piss off!" the boy retaliated. Ryan couldn't help but smile. Seeing that guy again really lifted his spirits. As if the three girls didn't do that enough for him though.
Well, how was that? I wrote this part up real quick, so some mistakes and under-description are probably prevelent. By the way, I won't be uploading chapters to this story this frequently, I'm just leaving on vacation for the next 5 days, without any wi-fi, so I thought another chapter would be nice! Oh, and I took your advice koryandrs. Thank you very much! Stayed tuned! I'm out for now!
