"Persona."
Ruby Rose heard a command and the trance of combat she was in was broken. She looked behind herself and saw a goon in black had snuck up behind her to deal a blow. A large being then slammed itself into the goon, rendering him unconscious. Ruby's attention was then turned to where the being had come from and saw an older teenage male with a katana in hand. She saw his face in a phase of confusion as he looked at the being that had saved her. She then returned her mind to the battle and saw that the thing had taken out the rest of the goons.
Yu was puzzled at what had happened. He saw that the girl was in trouble and did the first thing that came to his mind, summoning Izanagi. To his surprise, his persona was summoned and assisted in the fight. His mind raced around for an answer for his first problem, for his second one could wait for now. He couldn't be in the TV world, that idea was terminated with his visit to the Velvet Room. They're in the real world, but there was nothing to assist in the summoning. Or was there?
"Well Red and Grey, I think we can all say it had been an eventful evening. As much as I would love to stick around…" Yu heard the man with orange hair speak in a cocky tone. He then could hear sirens from police vehicles slowly approaching from the distance. The man in the bowler hat then raised his cane and pointed the bottom of it at Ruby. The persona user then had a look of surprise on his face when the bottom popped up revealing a gun barrel with a crosshair. "This is where we part ways."
Yu acted immediately by mentally commanding Izanagi to block the shot with its weapon. He then rushed to the red-hooded girl's side. "Are you alright?" He asked as Izanagi faded away.
"Yes I'm fine." Ruby answered. She looked in grey eyes and saw a person who had experience on the battle field. She then assumed that he was a talented hunter at such a young age. Her head glanced side to side in attempt to find the criminal who had shot at her. Silver eyes looked up and saw the man rushing up a ladder, making his escape. Ruby then gave an elderly man a look as he peeked out of a shop door.
"You alright if I go after him?" Yu heard a young voice come from the girl, but it was also filled with serious conviction. He saw who he assumed was the shop keeper nod his head and the persona user saw the girl run off at an impressive speed. The male watched in amazement as the young girl jumped into the air and started to shoot her gun, using the recoil to bring her up onto the roof.
Yu then decided to see if the elder man had any injuries on him. The old man simply looked at the teen and gave a small chuckle. "They seem to be getting younger every day. Did you just come over here to see if I was alright?" The old man received a nod of the head from the grey haired teen. He then walked back into his shop and back out again, holding a rather big case of large and small colored crystals and vials. The shop keeper then gently shoved the package into the teen's hands. "I saw that you didn't have any Dust on you. The red is fire, yellow is electricity, black is dark, silver is metal... ah yes that's right. You're a hunter, silly me."
Yu showed a puzzled face when the man walked back into the store. But when he came back out with the case and pushed it onto his well being, the teen finally understood with the feeling of shock still over him. Controlling his emotions, he looked at the kind shop keeper straight in the eye. "I couldn't possible take this without payment."
The elder man simply shook his head with hands still pushing the case to Yu. "Your payment has already been received. I saw that you saved that girl from a very grim fate, as well as saved almost what this entire shop had to offer. Helping the shop is one thing, but saving a life is something that can forever be in debt. Though it was not mine, I still hope you understand what I am trying to say. So please, take it and protect those that you can."
The persona user hesitated to accept his offer even then. But with one gentler shove, Yu finally took up the man's gift. With a nod of conformation, Yu brought his attention to where he saw the girl and criminal head up to. With his mind now setting to the battle that may await him, he scrambled up the ladder with crystals in hand.
As he got to the top of the roof where the ladder led, an explosion welcomed him, along with his ears picking up a whoop of joy. Yu feared for the girl's life as he got up to the top too late. But relief filled him when he saw a blonde woman in front of the girl in red with a giant circle with interesting markings on it. He saw that the woman had emerald green eyes and a very stern expression while pointing with a crop in her hand. The persona user noticed how the girl was breathing in amazement at her savior. Yu then came to a conclusion that this was one of those hunters that Adachi had found out about.
His mind then raced to what else Adachi said. Something about Aura. Yu then widened his eyes in and idea as he remembered what he had been informed. If Aura was the manifestation of one's soul, maybe it was Aura that was aiding the summoning of his persona. His eyes then diverted down the case filled with Dust crystals and vials. Labrys' explanation flowed through his mind and he came up with a theory that he had to test out now.
He quickly ran to the girl's side as the blond shot purple lasers at an aircraft where he saw the criminal flail inside in as the vehicle was hit. Yu then saw the man walk further into the craft, only for what seemed to be a female walk out covered in the shadows. With a wave of the arm, the female let loose a fireball which the blonde woman blocked with some glyphs. The figure then raised her hand and a pillar of flames suddenly emerged form from the embers that were under them.
Yu watched the blond woman quickly back flip away from the attack. Deciding to step in, he opened the case and grabbed a small vial of yellow dust and focused. The vial began to spin and then it started to morph into a very familiar looking tarot card. He then crushed the card and a magnificent sight was shown to those around him. A warrior-like being began to rise up into existence and stand over the teen like a protector. There stood Izanagi, roaring to signal its preparation for battle. Yu could now feel amazing energy pulsing off of it.
The persona threw a ball of lightning at the aircraft, letting the electricity flow through the metal, allowing the riders to be shocked. Yu slightly hesitated, that attack that he mentally commanded was more powerful than he had intended. Burying that feeling, Yu ran up and jumped with the preparation to strike the woman in the opening.
He was a tad late as the woman in the shadows regained her movement and was about to throw another fireball. The grey haired teen barely dodge the attack by having Izanagi used the handle of the spear as footing to kick off of and land back onto the roof. Just as Yu landed down onto the roof, another figure climbed onto the roof and jogged to his side and sighed. "Is it okay if I finish this quickly? It looks like a real bore."
The grey haired teen looked over to his side and saw another teen with messy hair, and a suit with a crooked red tie. "Adachi? What are you doing here?" His eyes widened in surprise at the fellow persona user appearing.
"You were gone for quite the bit. After hearing an explosion go off, I was forced to go check it out while the others would try and search for you." Adachi answered in a complaining tone. His attention was then turned to the aircraft that was about to escape. He then saw pillars of fire about to consume a young girl and a woman but both rolled out of the way in time. Sighing once again, he then showed a manic grin and shouted. "Good-bye!" As soon as those words came out of his mouth, Magatsu-Izanagi appeared right before him. A giant beam of electricity then shot forward from the new, rather intimidating looking being.
However, the aircraft had closed its doors and began its retreat. Adachi's attack missed and made him growl in irritation. He was about to release another, much more deadly attack when Yu gripped his shoulder. Seeing the boy shake his head, his manic grin vanished and was replaced with mock disappointment. "What? It's over already?"
Ruby just saw the two teen boys in amazement. The blond woman however, gave the three of them a hard, stern look. "The three of you are coming with me." She said curtly. She saw the girl in red react with horror while the boys looked at her in confusion and boredom. "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Ruby shook her head. Yu just tilted his head to come up with an answer. Adachi laughed very hard, earning a disapproving stare. "Ahahaha, my side's are killing me." After letting it all out, he gave a stare that freaked Ruby out. "Is there a problem? Yes I'd like to think so. Why do we need to do what you tell us? You don't have the right to order us around."
Just then at that moment, Labrys and their red-headed companion showed up at the scene of the crime. "Yu, Adachi, so this is where ya guys were." Labrys exclaimed and she descended from the sky with her battle-axe.
"You all sure took your sweet time while we spent our's trying to look for you around this shitty city! Explain yourselves or I'll kick your asses to next week!" Sho demanded. He unsheathed both katanas and pointed them at the Izanagi wielder's throats. A heavy tension filled the atmosphere around the rooftops.
Yu just blinked at Sho's threat. He looked around to see what he should do in this situation. "Let's see, stopping a heist, property damage, both have seen Adachi and I summon our personas, and now the others have shown up." Yu then looked at his companions. "There is only one thing to do."
PRWBYU
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!"
Yu, Labrys, Adachi, and Ruby all had to plug their ears at Sho's passionate remark.
The five of them were seated in a dark room, with no light but one hanging down over them from the ceiling existed. In front of them was a flat, empty table. It was an interrogation room at what could be assumed was a local police station. The young woman from before was walking around them with her stern expression, a holographic tablet in her hands as she watched a recording of Ruby and Yu's fight against the goons. "I hope you realize your actions tonight will not be taken lightly all of you. You put yourselves and others in great danger."
The younger girl's expression fell even lower as the women spoke. The girl then burst out in an attempt to defend herself. "They started it!"
The woman's frowned deepened at that protest. "If it were up to me… you would be sent home." Her expression became a tad kinder, her tone softer. "With a pat on the back…" And she then cracked her wand/crop to the table, startling the girl who began to smile a bit. "And a slap on the wrist," She withdrew the crop for a moment walking off to the side as another person entered the room, still in the entrance hallway. "But… there is someone here who would like to meet you."
As she finished her statement, an older man began to move in from the hallway, carrying a plate of cookies. Slowly he set the plate down onto the table as he looked into the eyes of the youngest girl in the room. "Rube Rose… you have silver eyes."
Ruby began to glance around nervously at the proximity of the man's scanning yellow eyes, slightly leaning back. "Umm…" The situation felt awkward for her. Someone making a random observation like that was definitely weird.
"So…" the older man turned to the holographic monitor, showing the recorded combat they boy and girl had earlier. "Where did you both learn to do this?" He asked as he watched the recording with great interest. Especially during the moments when Izanagi was out.
Ruby's eyes cocked up slightly, stuttering in response. "S-Signal Academy."
"TV" Yu replied, earning him very weird looks and sweat drops. Well, that was kind of true in his mind. When he first received his persona, it was in the TV world. There, he learned to fight Shadows and gain experience to use Izanagi.
Ignoring the boy and waiting for Ruby to calm down, the man's expression became rather serious, his tone catching on edge. "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?"
"Well, one teacher in particular" was Ruby's response, leaning towards the cookies.
"I see…" The older man pushed the plated towards her, glancing at the others on the side of the table being 'interrogated'. With a nod, Yu and Adachi both leaned in a grabbed a couple of cookies despite Ruby's pouting. Labrys politely refused while Sho just sat back with a bored expression. The older man began to start up his speech once again. "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow," he stated as he looked off, as if lost in thought.
"That's my Uncle Qrow. He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete and utter garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I'm all-"Ruby then began making odd poses and typical karate movie sound effects as she did. Yu gave Ruby and amused smile at how she acted, but still had a huge dream and goal she wanted to achieve. Labrys was also happy for her with the same reasons. Adachi just saw the little girl as someone who probably hasn't seen the world's true colors, but still had to congratulate her on a lifetime goal so early. Sho didn't give a shit and was counting ceiling tiles.
"So I've noticed. And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" The older man slightly leaned over the table, his palms pressed into its edges.
Ruby glanced up at him, slightly embarrassed by her won response, "Well… I want to be a Huntress."
"So you want to slay monsters?" Ozpin's continued to question.
"Yea, I only have two more years of training left at Signal, and then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" at this point, Ruby began to ramble in her explanation, her speech growing faster and more frantic as she explained herself. "You see, my sister is starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress because I want to help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought 'I might as well make a career out of it'. I mean, the police are alright, but the Hunters and Huntresses are so much more exciting and romantic and cool and just amazing you know?" She glanced at the two adults on the other end of the table.
The stern young woman did nothing but deadpan, blinking at her for a moment. The older man, however, gave a slight smile to her. "Do you know who I am?"
Ruby did nothing but nod, smiling politely, "You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon. It's nice to meet you."
"Hello… so you want to come to my school?" He leaned in slightly, glancing over her for a moment, and then the other four at the table.
"More than anything," Ruby nodded her affirmation, her tone slightly wistful.
"Well… okay," Ozpin gave a small smile. The stern woman in the corner rolled her eyes at the headmaster's decision.
Ruby's face lit up in excitement, and then she blinked looking over to the other four. "Wait, why are they here? Who are they anyway?"
At this, Ozpin's face slid from a smile to an unreadable expression. "We have no idea. I do admit that a couple of them are skilled, but we have no information about them." He turned to the four, his expression polite but still curious. "If it would be no trouble, would you be willing to share you names?"
Yu gave a small bow in his seat. "My name is Yu Narukami. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"Name's Labrys, nice ta meet'cha."
"Tohru Adachi, but preferably adachi if you don't mind."
"Sho, Sho Minazuki." The red head said with a nod before turning to his companions. "Right, can we just bust out of here now? Interrogation is 'surprisingly' BBBBBOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIINNNNGGGG! Nothing to do but dwell on what you didn't do! Why the hell are we here anyway-?!" Then like a machine blowing a fuse, Sho's enraged rant stopped and he fell silent. His body went limp, like a marionette whose strings had been cut. But eventually, it thrashed around a bit and sat eerily straight.
"He was getting too worked up. It's a bad habit of his." Minazuki explained in his cool, calm tone. Those who didn't know of the second personality looked at the boy in surprise. Minazuki could understand why they looked at him with such eyes. "Allow me to… reintroduce myself. My name is Minazuki, Sho Minazuki. And you could say that I am a protector of this boy."
Ozpin, though he wanted to ask more questions, was on a very tight schedule. So he was forced to save questions that just came to mind for later. He then turned to Yu. "What is that being that both you and Mr. Adachi both summoned that Glynda here had told me?" He asked as he gestured to the blond woman standing by the door way out of the room.
"It's our semblance." Yu answered, the first thing coming to his head. The other's looked at him with surprise, but then quickly looked back at the adults.
"Interesting… what is you semblance's ability?" Ozpin asked with a curious tone. "And with your permission, if I could see it with my own eyes."
Sensing no negative intentions from the man, Yu opened his right hand and a tarot card fell down into his hand. Everyone's eyes followed it in a hungry anticipation. He then crushed it, as he had done so often before.
A whirlwind of blue flames began to swirl around him and Izanagi once again to fade into existence. Silence filled the room as the non persona users marveled at the persona and the aura that it emitted. "Persona." Yu said in a straight tone. "A facet of one's soul or a mask one wears in public to protect themselves.
Seeing such a majestic sight almost made Ozpin forget what he was here for. "I see. You are more than welcome to join as well. I would insist it, to be honest." Ozpin stated with a rather small smile. "In fact, I trust that since you all have your own weapons, I would assume your abilities would be about as equal as Mr. Narukami's here?" He received multiple nods from the other persona users. "Then you are welcome as well." The stern woman looked at him as if he had grown two heads, and then left the room in exasperation, tired of his antics. He then stood up, signaling that he was done with the talking
"The transport to Beacon will be arranged for you. Bring what you need and good luck to you all."
