Despite the chapter's name this has nothing to do with the school's lost and found...I wonder if Beacon even has one.
Chapter 2
Lost and Found
"Um...Raven where are we?" Eppi asked his sister. It turned out they stumbled into a large pitch black room where strange noises came from the dark.
"Don't know. It's dark. Can't really see in the dark bro. I'm not a faunus." Raven smart mouthed response got under Eppi's skin a bit but he let it go. He sighed.
"It looks like a bunch of cages. But I can't tell what's in them. Anyways we should go back. We probably shouldn't be in here." Eppi said as he started leaving the room.
"You're never any fun." Raven followed after him but their tracks were stopped dead by a rotund man with a gray mustache.
"You there. What are you doing in here?" The man asked the siblings.
"We were looking around and got lost. We were just leaving sir." Eppi replied. The man's narrowed eyes focused in on Eppi.
"VERY WELL!" The man's enthusiasm shocked the two. "I am professor Port. Pleased to meet you." Raven and Eppi looked at each other with puzzled looks and then back to Port.
"Hello sir I'm Epsilon Launt, Eppi for short."
"And I'm his sister Raven Launt. Pleased to meet you as well sir." Raven put on her 'perfect student' attitude for the professor causing Eppi to give her a disgusted look.
"Well then. You found this room. A very special room that typically we don't allow students to enter. But I'll show you. Just stay here." Port said as we wandered off into the dark room. The siblings looked at each other, tempted to follow but they stood still and waited.
"Now take twelve steps forward then eight to your right and stand perfectly still. Let me know when you're there." Port ordered the kids. They cautiously followed his instructions to the tee. However what they didn't know is the professors' strange sense of humor.
"Okay Professor Port. We're here." Raven shouted out to the man.
"Good. Now when I turn on the lights try not to scream." Raven and Eppi were confused. Then the lights turned on.
"So little one. Where do you hail from?" Kilo asked Ranger. It seems the large man took more interest into the small girl the more time they spent together.
"Hail from? That's a different way of asking. But I'm from here. Born and raised in the city of Vale. What about you?"
"From a small island off the coast of Vacuo. It is not known to many. But it is home to me." Ranger enjoyed the man's company and Kilo enjoyed hers. They continued their walk through the ballroom and past a series of classrooms.
"It seems we missed our set goal Kilo." Ranger said referring to the ballroom which they passed.
"I do not mind. It has been a long time since I found someone who I could talk to. Most others give me headaches. But you're different. Unique even. For example I can feel you doing that." Ranger lost the smile she had looked to the floor avoiding his eyes. They stood at least a foot away. Ranger gave a fake laugh.
"Doing what? I'm not touching you." Ranger asked him with a cautious tone.
"Not with your person no. But I can feel that Semblance of yours." He responded coldly.
"Oh. Sorry. I didn't think anyone could feel that. I'll stop." Ranger apologetically said.
"But if you do that will you be able to follow me?" Kilo's question made Ranger stop dead in her tracks.
"How did you-"
"If you don't want people to know try not looking in their eyes." Kilo quickly replied cutting her off.
"And it doesn't bother you at all?" Ranger asking worriedly.
"Why would something like that bother me? Why anyone would be bothered by the fact you're-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A high pitched scream cut Kilo's sentence off and the two looked further down the hall.
"A woman? She sounds in trouble." Kilo stated
"Let's go check it out." Ranger said as the two bolted down the hallway into a lit up room. Upon entering they found not a girl screaming but a boy, who was also in another girl's arms. Along with a round man standing near them laughing. The two saw what the boy was screaming about. A large cage with a live Death Stalker starring at the two people and the teacher.
"HUSH NOW BOY!" Professor Port said sternly. "We have visitors." He said referring to Kilo and Ranger.
"We heard a girl scream and thought she might be in trouble. But it turns out the girl was actually a little man." Kilo said bluntly to Eppi.
"Hey! That's my brother you're truthfully insulting!" Raven said standing up for Eppi along with taking a jab at him at the same time.
"That wasn't very nice sis." Eppi responded to her. Raven looked at him and dropped him on the floor with a thud.
"Young man please try to not damage the floor." Port said to Eppi as he hit the floor.
"But I- But she- oh forget it." Eppi said throwing his arms up in defeat.
"Now then." Port started. "I am Professor Port, who are you two?" He said introducing himself to Kilo and Ranger.
"I am Kilo Sloan." The large man replied.
"My name is Ranger Otoro." Port shot up.
"Ah! So you're the famous Ranger that Ozpin has been talking a storm about. Well it is my pleasure to welcome you to Beacon Academy. Please let me know if there is anything you need from me." Port said with joy. Ranger gave a fake smile and a nod.
Soon after the exchange Port lead the group back to the ballroom where they could get some rest and retire for the day since it was almost ten o'clock at night. Kilo and Ranger found some beds further near the back away from the rest. They sat up on their beds and relaxed. A few minutes went by and Eppi and Raven walked up to them. Neither Kilo nor Ranger looked over to the two.
"So we sort of kind of met earlier but I wanted to do a proper introduction so that way you don't remember me as 'that guy who screams like a girl'...guy." Eppi started the conversation.
"Eppi everyone will remember you as that. Hi! The names Raven. I'm Eppi's sister." Raven introduced herself. She extended her hand but neither of the two moved. She retracted her hand and nudged her brother.
"Uh um and as my sister said I'm Eppi, her brother. Who are you?" Eppi said trying desperately to quell the uncomfortable atmosphere for them.
"You know our names already." Kilo replied bluntly.
"Kilo play nice with them." Ranger told him. He sighed then stood up.
"My name is Kilo. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said using 'pleasure' rather loosely. Ranger followed him up.
"And my name is Ranger. It was nice making your acquaintance." She gave a light bow with her head and sat back down whereas Kilo remained standing.
"Why do you dress so boringly Kilo?" Raven asked rudely only to receive an elbow to her side from her brother.
"Sorry Mr. Kilo Sir, my sister is stupid and doesn't really know how to be polite to people." Eppi quickly apologized covering Raven's mouth with his hand.
"Just Kilo. And no need to apologize. I like her blunt attitude. It makes conversation easier. I have no need to wear any fancy clothes. That is all." Eppi uncovered Ravens mouth.
"But you're just in a white tank top, black jeans and some boots. That's not fun." Raven told him.
"Not boots. Steal toed boots. And I'm comfortable in this. It allows for great maneuverability along with no power restrictions." Kilo responded which made Raven laugh a little.
"Power restrictions? Is that possible? I mean look at you. You're a black dude who's probably eight feet tall, ripped head to toe with muscle and some amazing dreadlocks! You need a fun outfit!" Raven exclaimed.
"Seven." Kilo replied making Raven blink twice.
"Come again?" She asked quizzically.
"I am not eight feet tall. I am seven."
"Oh sorry. That kind of height makes no difference to us small folks." Raven replied only to receive a scoff from Kilo as he sat down and joined Ranger.
"If you don't mind I would like to get some sleep. Goodbye." Kilo said to the siblings.
"Well alright then. Goodnight Kilo, goodnight Ranger." the two said as they returned to their beds.
"An interesting pair." Ranger said to the already sleeping Kilo. She smiled at him and laid her head down to sleep as well.
An interesting pair indeed. So peeps what's your opinion on the four main characters so far?
