Chapter 1 – Enter Sky Shunketsu

The night before Sky was to leave for Beacon Academy he packed all of his things already missing his long sword revolver and wishing he had it with him but it automatically made him think of Krystal which is exactly what he intended. The next morning he left his apartment for the air ships that were to depart for Beacon with is bags in hand, as he walked to the air ships Sky realised that he was probably the youngest person attending Beacon. His thoughts drifted to the possibilities of reactions and what people will think of him, especially because he was 15 and all the other first years were 17. Sky joined the line for the first year students' air ship, his thoughts still racing and he quietly said to himself "will they think I am crazy, what if they see me as a fool' with these sort of thoughts going through his head he didn't realise he had got to the front of the line.

The man in the booth who let people on the ship asked "accepted application please" Sky pulled out his paper that informed him of his acceptance and handed it to the man and Sky was let on the ship.

When Sky entered the ship he went into a secluded corner of the ship and just hoped no one approached him and just left him alone to his own business. After about half an hour of waiting for the ship to depart the entrance door finally closed and a recorded announcement played "we will be departing shortly, please find a seat and wait until we are in the air before standing" everyone found a seat promptly and three people had taken seats close to Sky. Everyone on the ship seemed to know at least one person, who they stuck with, the group of three people who sat next to Sky all knew each other and Sky recognised two of them from Signal but he was unsure if he had seen the one diagonal from him before, the two he recognised were forth years at Signal last year but Sky said nothing and just looked out the window waiting for take-off as the engines started.

The one directly in front of Sky was a Faunus with wolf qualities in his eyes and he also had a tail and pair of wolf ears, the one diagonal from Sky was also a Faunus but she was the most peculiar looking Faunus Sky had ever seen. She had jet black hair just like Sky, her eyes were also the same colour as Sky's; ocean blue, but her Faunus qualities made them different, she had a slight resemblance to a Grimm with odd bits of white bone armour on her arms and had sharp nails/claws. The one thing that surprised Sky the most though was that the third one, the one directly next to Sky was not a Faunus but in fact a human. The human, she looked like a small girl barely capable of fighting but Sky knew better than to judge someone just based solely off looks, she had long black hair with white tips on most strands of her hair and she had a black corset on with a black mini dress, Sky couldn't help but wonder if they were her battle clothes and if so how difficult would it be to move easily.

Sky didn't bother to talk to them and continued to stare out the window waiting for the ship to leave for Beacon, then five minutes later the pre-recorded voice interrupted Sky's thoughts "we are going to be leaving within two minutes so please ensure you are ready for departure."

Sky finally said something "finally I will be at Beacon" as he said this he looked at his reflection and the wolf Faunus's ear twitched.

The wolf looked at Sky and so did the others and the wolf then asked "hey aren't you a third year this year at Signal, why are you here?" Sky looked a little worried by what the Faunus said but he did not answer. Sky continued to stare out the window "hey I'm talking to you, please answer me."

Sky closed his eyes and then looked at the Faunus "what does it matter to you exactly" the girl next to Sky gasped at this response.

The Faunus glared at Sky clearly pissed off at this "it matters to me because I know you are too young for this stuff and I don't want some" the Faunus looks away from Sky "trigger happy fool out there risking their life for no reason" Sky doesn't seem fazed by what the Faunus says and looks away.

Sky thinks for a moment as to how to answer then responds to the Faunus's question "I am here of my own free will, I had taken the entrance exam and passed it" Sky thought it best not to boast and not say anything about his scores "and yes I was going to be doing my third year at Signal, I remember seeing you there in my first year." Sky then looks at the Faunus in the eyes "what is your name anyway?" hoping for an answer to this Sky didn't take his eyes off of the Faunus.

The Faunus looked taken aback by this question because he never expected for this human, Sky to even care about him in any way "th… the name is Terra, that is Odessa" Terra points to the other Faunus and she waves to Sky "and the girl next to you is Inara" and Terra points to the girl next to Sky and she smiled at Sky. "So seeing as you now know our names could you please tell us your name" as Terra said this Sky looked out the window as the air ship began to depart.

"Finally we are leaving for Beacon" Sky turned and looked back at Terra "my name is" Sky looked out the window again remembering his family "Sky", he began to think of his brother and where he could possibly be right now. Terra had taken a moment to process this information and had a few questions for Sky but he did not know how to ask them properly. "When I left Signal I also left my only friend that I have so I know absolutely no one here" Sky continues to stare out the window observing the clouds rolling around as the air ship flew through the air.

Inara taped Sky's shoulder and Sky turned to look at her "um I'm sorry to ask this" Inara looked like she was a little uncomfortable "but are you one of the last two people in the Shunketsu clan?" Inara looked into Sky's face looking for the answer before he gave it to her.

Sky turned away for a moment and when he turned back to Inara a few tears roll down his face from the memories of his past "yes, but please leave that subject alone" Sky then turned away again thinking of Riku. Terra, Odessa and Inara all stare at Sky wanting to console him but were unsure of how to do it without setting him off any further down that line of depression so they opted for a change of topic.

Odessa looked at Sky for the longest "my semblance is one weird one, then again I am weird, it is the ability to detect any Grimm within a fifty meter radius of myself, what about yours Sky what is your semblance?"

Sky turned to face Odessa, his face free of any sign of crying. "My semblance is the ability to control wind in almost any way I want" Sky thought of his brothers' semblance as well unsure if he should say anything about it "what about you guys Terra and Inara, what are your semblances?" Sky looked at each of them thinking of the possibilities.

Terra laughed "I have the semblance of polarity."

Inara all of a sudden stated "well I have the ability to make shadow clones of myself, but the down side is you can tell which one is the real me the more of them there are, but I am getting better at making them look real" Sky looked at Inara unsure of how to possibly deal with that problem if they were to have a sparring match.

The conversation between everyone broke down after this as the ships passed over Signal Academy. "Wow what a view" Sky then grabs his phone from his pocket and calls Krystal "Hi Krystal its Sky, look up and you should see an air ship I am in it right now heading to Beacon" Sky talks to her for a few minutes then says his good byes to Krystal.

Five minutes later the pre-recorded voice plays again "Hello students and welcome to Beacon, you are among the privileged few who have received to honour to be 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 up hold it, you have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world" Sky looked out the window and could finally see Beacon off into the distance.

Sky kept his eyes on the academy the entire time until they reached the academy. "Finally we are here" Sky continued to look out the window wondering where the dorms were, when they landed Sky got up and was told his bags will be placed in the dorms later for him along with all the other students bags. All students were asked to head to the Auditorium in 20 minutes, Sky went there immediately and stayed there as he had nothing better to do with his time.
