Hunting or Bust

by Master Attlon

The paths we find ourselves on. Are they predetermined by fate? Or do we really have the power to change our future? Will we stick to the paths we find ourselves on? Or if a chance presented itself, would you take it? This is a new path. A new chance at life. A...did that kid just spew chunks all over the deck? Yes. Yes he did.

2. Welcome to Beacon

Hunting or Bust

Dust 2: Welcome to Beacon

For the last few weeks, all I've heard from friends and co-workers is that the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie was gonna suck. A ridiculous talking raccoon? A living tree? How it was just gonna try too hard to be a Star Wars rip-off.

I was more than overjoyed that after I saw it, I then invited each of them to suck and or lick it.

Seriously, go watch it. No hesitation. No second thoughts. It's good. Not just as a Marvel movie but a summer movie in general.

The only complaint I would give is that several days after seeing it and I've still got all that 70's and 80's music in my head.

(Come and get your love, come and get your love, Come and get your love now~)

((((((((Hunting))))))))

Several large airships carefully docked on a platform that partially led off a cliff just outside of the massive school structure that was Beacon Academy. Their thrusters and wings folded into the side and changed into a hovering function so that the oncoming students could arrive.

One airship slowly started opening its doors-

"Oh god! Oh god!" The scraggly blond boy stumbled and forced himself out the door and barely made it to the trashcan. He heaved, "*BLARGH*!*BLARGH*!"

The rest of the students calmly made their way out while doing their damnedest not to bring attention to the vomiting young man.

Naruto scratched the bandana on his head and let out a sigh of relief, "I'm glad that's over. That was probably the most uncomfortable trip I've ever had."

Sasuke did his best not to show any weakness or gag but still had his nose covered to avoid the smell. He swiped the air around him, "It was starting to get hot and...rancid in there."

Naruto stretched his arms out and looked around at their surroundings. Hundreds of teenaged students making their way out of the ships and towards the huge school building. That was a school? It was like a landmark castle!

"Okay, so, what do we do now?"

Sasuke looked at a pamphlet he took before the ship departed, "It says that before the orientation in the main presentation hall, we should go and check out our luggage so they can take it to the school." Sasuke reached into his pocket and held his other hand out towards Naruto, "Here, give me your ticket."

Naruto raised an eyebrow as he pulled the ticket out of his vest pocket. He handed it to his friend, "Why?"

"So I can go check off our stuff." Sasuke motioned to the surrounding area, "Why don't you-I don't know-explore. Look around. Socialize. Meet new people."

"Ughhhhhhhh..." Naruto groaned in despair, "But that's awkward, boring, and annoying as hell."

"Then you'd better get started." Sasuke walked away and waved behind his back, "See you later."

Naruto sighed before standing up straight and looking around at all the new arrivals. So these were the best of the best that had to offer their skills towards being Huntsmen and Huntresses. He had to admit that he was kinda excited at the chance to see what this life had to offer.

Despite the expected free admission to Beacon, both Naruto and Sasuke had to go through separate tests to prove themselves worthy to be accepted. And while the test wasn't the most difficult experience in the world, it certainly wasn't easy.

All of these people passed a test that was the same or at least very similar to the one he did. But unlike him, all of them had studied, practiced, and trained for numerous years to enter a place like this. There were probably a few people here that would give him a run for his money.

No, there might be a few people here that would straight up plant his ass in the ground.

Naruto grinned at the thought. He couldn't help it, this was getting interest-

"*BLARGH*!"

This was get-

"*BLARGH*!"

This-

"*BLARRRRRRgghhhhhhhhh*, ughhhhhhh, why a big ship? Why?"

Naruto slumped his shoulders and realized that the whole 'enjoying the scenery' thing probably wasn't going to be appropriate with all the barfing and retching happening just a few feet away from him.

The young man supported himself by holding on to the side of the trashcan while he tried to find his bearings once again. He wiped his mouth, "If-ugh-if I knew we were gonna come here by ship like this, I probably would've preferred walking." He panted for a moment before shaking his head, "That's not true. I don't like walking long distances like that. Makes me uncomfortable."

The blond lad felt someone pat his back and raised his head in surprise. He looked up to see another boy wearing a gold bandana with strange markings on his cheeks standing besides him, "It's all right man, we're all feeling a little nervous. There's no shame in that."

The former retching blond actually felt a little touched that someone would assist him while he was figuratively spewing his guts. The young man stood up, revealing the black hoodie, white chest plate, and blue jeans he wore with a white scabbard on the side. He gave a weak smile and nodded, "T-thanks. I-um-didn't think anyone would actually pay me any mind after I started throwing up all over the deck."

"Yeah, well, there are others ways to make a worse first impression. Not many but there definitely are." The whiskered blond held out his hand, "I'm Naruto."

"Oh." The other blond took the welcome to shake his hand, "It's nice to meet you Naruto. I'm Jaune. And-well..." Jaune awkwardly motioned to the trashcan, "Don't get me wrong, I'm nervous, but that wasn't actually why I was throwing up."

"It wasn't?" Naruto raised his brow in confusion and tilted his head, "Then why were you throwing up?"

"Because I really can't stand transportation." Jaune deflated a little, "It's a problem I've had since I was a kid. When I was riding in a car. Or a plane. Or a fast roller-coaster. Or even if I think about a bad experience when I-" The color started fading from his face and he started wavering, "O-oh no, not again!"

Jaune covered his mouth and turned around before he started barfing into the trashcan again. Naruto just stood there in surprise and stared at his new acquaintance as he hurled into the can. The whiskered blond probably wasn't expecting someone like this to be the first person he interacted with in Beacon but hey...some things were just unpredictable.

"*BLARGH*"

Naruto shook his head, "Geez man, how much did you eat?"

((((((((Hunting))))))))

"Woahhhhhhhhhhh~!"

Aside from the two blond men outside the ship, most of the other students arriving were using this chance to take in the sight of Beacon and prepare themselves for their future.

This young lady though...

"He was carrying a collapsible staff! A-and she's carrying a fire blade with an electric attachment! Oh! Oh! That guy just had a stick and ball but I bet they do something cool!"

The girl that was almost drooling at the sight of weapons was younger than most of the other students arriving in Beacon. Two years younger actually. She had black hair with shades of red along the strands with one section of her hair going all the way down to her chin. She wore a black dress with a skirt and red undertones. Along with a long red cape secured to her shoulders with silver crosses and boots. Her skin was almost pale white and her eyes were a beautiful color of silver. Her name was Ruby Rose.

"Did they make those? O-or maybe they were purchased or passed down!" Ruby was almost bouncing in place at the sight of all the cool new weapons she was seeing for the first time. Her legs started kicking up the ground beneath her, "I've got to ask them where they got them!"

"Woah woah woah!" A hand grabbed the top of Ruby's cape and stopped the excited young girl from storming off so quickly.

Ruby slumped her shoulders and looked up at her big sister. Despite how different the two of them appeared, these two really were sisters. Or at least half-sisters. Her name was Yang Xiao Long

Where Ruby was short, Yang was fairly tall for a girl her age. She had long, messy blonde hair with random curls and cowlicks down the side and she had lilac eyes. She wore a brown vest with a yellow low-cut crop top and an orange scarf wrapped around her neck. She wore black shorts with a half-pleated skirt in the back along with platform boots and around each wrist was a golden bracelet. And while Ruby was still going through the arduous task of puberty, Yang had...finished filling out in certain places.

Yang placed Ruby back down on her feet and shook her head, "Okay sis, you really need to control that little switch in your head that goes all psycho weapon lover. Do the breathing thing dad taught you to calm down."

"But Yang-"

"Breathe."

Ruby just sighed before she forced herself to take deep breathes in and long breathes out. After a moment, Ruby's momentary exuberance faded and she looked up at her sister.

Yang asked, "Feeling better?"

"I feel lightheaded."

"That's code for better." Yang put her hands on her hips before admonishing her little sister, "Listen, I know you're excited, but not everybody is going to jump at the idea of explaining and examining weapons with a girl that just runs up to them out of nowhere."

"Yeah, that always the problem, isn't it?" Ruby sighed dejectedly, "All these cool new weapons I'm seeing for the first time and I have to talk to strangers and new people to see them."

Yang shook her head, "See, it's talk like that that makes people think you're anti-social."

"I'm not anti-social!" Ruby argued before looking off to the side, "I just...y'know...avoid situations where I have to talk with new people." Ruby looked up to see Yang's condescending smile aimed at her and glared in return, "Shut up. Besides, I'm happy with just me, Crescent Rose, Ember Celica, and you; my great, loyal, and trustworthy big sister."

"Yeah~..." Yang wrapped one arm around her precious little sister before scratching her cheek, "About that~..."

"What?"

"My friends from my school are here and we're gonna go look around! Might be gone a while! Probably won't be able to walk around with you!" Yang spun Ruby around before running off to join her friends, "Be safe okay I love you bye!"

"Wait! Yang! What happened?! Where are we?! Where's left and right?! Is this real life?!" Ruby stopped spinning for a moment and held her head to get her balance before she saw Yang run off with a bunch of old friends. Ruby felt betrayed.

She scrunched up her nose and waved her arms, "Fine! You-you go and hang out with your real friends! You know what I'm gonna do now?! I'm going to go cry! You did this Yang! I hope you're happy with yourself! You made your little sister cry! That's gonna stick on your conscience forever!" Ruby started fake wailing and kept periodically looking over her shoulder while running away, "Wahhhh! Wahhhh! Wa-"

*SLAM*

Ruby ran into multiple objects, slamming them off their platform and falling forward until she landed face-first in the ground. She lifted herself up and rubbed her nose with little tears in her eyes, "Ow~. What the-"

Ruby looked around at all the white luggage that surrounded her. There were stray pieces of clothing, towels, and several containers with different colored substances in them. Ruby eyes landed on a red one lying by her hand and looked it over before popping its cap, "What's this?"

"What in the world do you think you're doing?!"

At the sound of the loud voice being aimed at her, Ruby jumped to her feet in an instant and went rigid like a statue.

The girl standing in front of her had her hands on her hips and a scowl aimed at the young red girl. She stood at about the same height as Ruby, with an off center ponytail containing her long white hair and icy blue eyes that nearly pierced Ruby's soul. She wore a bolero jacket with a red inside collar that led down to blue undertones in her sleeves. Like Ruby, she also wore a skirt and boots to give herself some extra height.

The white-haired girl reprimanded the cowering Ruby, "Is this your first action at arriving in a prestigious school like Beacon?! Is this a hobby?! Knocking people's luggage and personal belongings on the floor and then rummaging through them?! Don't you have any decency?!" The snooty girl took a moment from her yelling to see the the black and red-haired girl was holding a Dust vile in her hands. She snatched it back with a sharp edge in her voice, "Were you trying to take these from me?! If you want Dust you should try buying some for yourself! It's not that hard to find! There's a shop selling this stuff on every block!"

Ruby was getting confused and disoriented, "I was-um-we-I-Yang was-um...huh?"

"Dust! My Dust! Were you trying to take it?!" She started pointing to the vile in her hand and some of its contents started spreading in the air, "This is Dust with a fire affinity! Do you know what that means?! It means that if it is not contained and moved properly, it can be extremely volatile and dangerous! I don't know how things work in whatever little town you may have been raised in, but to me, that's a very stupid move to pull!"

Ruby's face started to twitch, "I-I-"

"What? Do you having something to say for yourself? If you do, spit it out now!"

Ruby's nose was reacting to all the red Dust in the air around her. And with a mighty blow-

"ACHOO!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

Everyone within several hundred feet looked in the same direction as they saw an explosion and the resulting mushroom cloud raise from the ground.

Ruby rubbed her nose after the loud and explosive sneeze she just had. She opened her eyes again and saw the damage she caused, covering her mouth in horror, "Oh no."

The white girl that was just yelling at Ruby was now completely covered in black ash and soot. The only thing that was still clean on her were the surprised little blues eyes that blinked open. She wiped the ash off her face to reveal a red face brimming with fury, "You...you..."

"You insufferable little child! You could have killed us both! Do you have any self control or brain power to think of your actions before hand!"

Ruby was shaking a little, "O-oh yeah, well-um...you're not nice and you use a lot of words."

"I don't have to be nice to some random girl combing through my belongings and nearly blowing us up!"

"Hey, you were the one waving that Dust around all willy-nilly." Ruby defended herself after she was sick of being put on the spot by the white-haired girl, "Who are you anyway?"

"I think she's Weiss Schnee."

Before either of them could say anything else, a third voice interjected on their argument.

They both looked over to see a tall girl with wavy black hair going down her back with a bow on top and amber eyes. She wore black boots and stockings that were purple around her feet before turning black when they ended at her thighs. Around her chest was a white undershirt and a black buttoned vest with a short scarf around her neck. In one hand was a book with a finger placed where she left off and in the other was one of Weiss' Dust viles.

The black-haired girl looked down at the Dust in her hand, "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. One of the largest Dust mining companies, Dust selling companies, and energy propellant companies in the whole world."

Weiss felt a sense of smug pride grow while she crossed her arms and looked at Ruby slowly shrink down, "That's right."

"Also very well known for questionable business partners, shady handlings, controversial labor forces, and increasing levels of capital robbery."

"That's righ-Hey!" Weiss threw her arms to her side and yelled in protest, "That is just false persecution and slander!"

"I don't mean any offense by that." The black-haired girl held out the Dust vile, "I'm just telling you what I've heard."

Weiss was nearly fuming and wanted to argue furiously with both this new girl and Ruby. But after swallowing the lump in her throat, Weiss just glared at the taller black-haired girl before taking the Dust with a swipe of her hand and walking away.

Weiss then turned around and walked back towards them, just to place her belongings back on her cart and wheel it away.

"Um-Weiss-I'm sorry we met so...explosively!" Ruby shouted towards the retreating girl, "I promise to make it up to, and maybe then you and I can talk...and be friends...and act like I didn't just blow her up." Ruby kept getting quieter until it was just a whisper and she palmed her face, "I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot and I want to disappear."

Ruby decided that she could at least show gratitude to her eleventh hour savior, "Hey, I know that was a weird situation but thanks for-she's already gone."

Ruby watched the cool bow wearing girl walk away and down the path. Ruby deflated even more and just hung her head while a black cloud rained down on her, "Great job Ruby, really. Ten minutes since arriving at Beacon and you've made a rich heiress mad and scared off a super cool girl that had your back. Uhhhhhhhhh..."

Ruby stood their wallowing in her misery...

"Wow, you were right Jaune. Someone was in the middle of that explosion."

"Told you."

Ruby lifted her head and looked behind her at the new voices. She saw two taller blond boys standing besides each other, one was wearing a bandana and looking around at the soot surrounding them while the other was facing Ruby.

The boy in armor asked, "Are you okay?"

((((((((Hunting))))))))

Pyrrha Nikos was looking around the campus of Beacon and just taking a moment to enjoy the sights. She was probably lost and going in the wrong direction of wherever she was supposed to be heading but she didn't mind in the least.

She was a pretty girl with her long red hair tied in a pony-tail and strong emerald eyes. She wore a strapless tan v-shirt under a leather top split down the middle. Along with her skirt, boots, and red drapery tied around her waist were pieces of armor on her legs and arms.

Pyrrha swung her arms around a little and enjoyed the fresh air the little grove had to offer before she looked around, "I should probably try and make my way to the main presentation hall. And I should try and find Weiss as well. She's probably looking for me and it'd be nice to see a familiar face here."

While Pyrrha was taking a moment to recognize her surroundings, she heard a noise followed by a dull thud.

*Schwip*

Pyrrha almost felt her ears perk up at the sound of metal stabbing into wood. The pattern continued to repeat itself and Pyrrha started following it to try and figure out what was going on.

When Pyrrha came around a corner, there was a girl standing in front of several trees with brown hair done up in two buns at the back of her head. She wore a white blouse with sleeves so baggy they nearly contained both her hands with the symbol of a pinwheel and a circle intersecting it on the back. She wore red puffy pants and blue sandals to complete her wardrobe.

The girl's focus was completely set on the targets in front of her and she raised her hand again, the sleeve dropping to her elbow and revealing a throwing knife held upside-down between her fingers. She narrowed her eyes, exhaled slowly, and threw the knife with a flick of her wrist. The knife imbedded itself directly in the center of the tree, alongside dozens of similar knives with only millimeters of space between each other.

Pyrrha looked at the action in amazement as the girl took out a second knife to throw. Pyrrha took a step forward and spoke up, "H-hello."

The twin-bun girl looked over to see Pyrrha walking towards her and smiled, "Oh, hello." Without even looking she threw the knife again and struck close to the other knives she had already thrown, "I didn't know I was being watched."

Pyrrha gave a small wave, "Yes. I didn't mean to intrude or break your concentration. It's just I was interested in what was happening over here."

"Oh don't worry..." She threw another knife and hit her target, "It's gonna take a lot more than that to break my concentration."

"I noticed." Pyrrha looked between the girl and the tree and felt her intrigue start to grow, "Can I ask why you're practicing now? Unless you have a grudge with the tree."

"Heh, no, me and this tree don't have any hard feelings towards each other." The knife throwing expert pulled another knife from her sleeve and looked at it for a moment before getting back in her stance, "It's just that I've already checked out my luggage and the orientation isn't happening for awhile so I decided to get some practice in while I could."

Pyrrha looked over at the tree riddle with knives and tilted her head, "Are you sure you need to practice? It looks like you've got it down to a fine art."

"Yeah, well practice makes perfect. And practice after that makes permanent." She took a moment to fiddle with one of her knives with a thoughtful gaze before looking up at the red-head, "Plus I need all the practice I can get to be good with all my weapons."

Pyrrha blinked in surprise, "Wow, did you make multiple weapons to use in the field?"

"Actually..." She looked at Pyrrha and shrugged her shoulders, "I don't have a personalized weapon."

"What?"

"Yeah. As it turns out, I'm not all that great with the whole creation of weapons." The girl started flipping the knife in her hand, "My mom and dad are both hunters that opened a weapons shop to help kids going into training school create their weapons. So of course I took the first chance I could to make a weapon. But, as it turns out, I didn't have the natural hand to make one. I put too much gunpowder in the barrel. I accidentally made the metal too weak to stand up against strikes. I can't even go into how many times I blew up messing with an incendiary change."

She caught the knife firmly before immediately throwing it into the tree and smiling at the red-head, "So I chose a different route. If I couldn't make a weapon then I would master every weapon. Put something in my hand and I can find a way to kick anybody's butt with it. Not to brag or anything."

"Hmm..." Pyrrha hummed in agreement before smiling towards the girl, "I think that is very admirable. Not many people would have the courage to keep trying if they were faced with such a hurdle. That shows strong resolve and character not many would present."

"Thanks." The two girls smiled at each other before the bun-haired girl looked back towards the tree, "I'm Tenten Tamura by the way."

Pyrrha smiled, "I'm Pyrrha Nikos."

"WHAT?!"

Tenten looked towards Pyrrha at the last moment after throwing the knife and missed her mark-

Some random guy screamed, "AH! MY ARM! OH GOD WHY!"

Tenten ran up to Pyrrha with stars in her eyes, "Are you really 'that' Pyrrha Nikos?! Oh man, you really are! I don't know why I didn't recognize you sooner!" Tenten grabbed Pyrrha's hands and started shaking them, "Ms. Nikos, I'm a huge fan! I remember watching your campaign in your second Mistral Regional Tournament! Me and my folks and everyone in my town were cheering for you to win! You were just amazing!"

Tenten's grip on Pyrrha's hands was so strong the powerful gladiator almost felt like her arms were going to fall off. She nervously laughed, "T-thank you for your support. But you don't have to call me Ms. Nikos. I'd be honored if you just called me Pyrrha."

"Really?" Tenten was gleaming with joy at being able to meet one of the strongest and coolest girls of their generation. She let go of Pyrrha's hands and coughed into her hand before trying to regain some of her calm, "Well then, Pyrrha, if there's anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask."

"I'm glad you said that." Pyrrha stood besides Tenten and took out her pamphlet, "It says that we're supposed to all meet in the main presentation hall, but I'm kind of lost. Could you-"

"Oh, don't worry." Tenten pointed ahead, "I remember the way. I'll show you. Just let me grab my stuff." Pyrrha watched as Tenten stepped over to the tree and started pulling the dozens of knives out of the bark.

Something finally clicked in Pyrrha's head, "Where...where do you keep all of those?"

Tenten looked back and smirked, "Trade secret."

((((((((Hunting))))))))

"Hey Cardin, I found it! This is where all the luggage is!"

"Finally!" An extremely tall boy with combed back orange hair and wearing armor sighed exhaustively. He marched in, "It's the first day of arrivals! You'd think they could at least put up signs or directions for us!"

Sasuke walked past the much taller and less excited man after he checked both his and Naruto's luggage. Now all that was left was to be there for orientation, dinner, and then bed.

It would probably be a good idea to go find Naruto and make sure he wasn't in any trouble. On the other hand...it was much funnier to watch him squirm his way out of a situation.

Sasuke rounded a corner and passed by a girl with black hair and a bow. They walked several feet away from each other before they noticed something running down their spines.

The bow-wearing girl almost went rigid and slowly turned her head to look over at the boy standing still just a bit away from her.

Sasuke pulled himself out of the sudden stillness and continued making his way back to the center of the campus.

She looked back and watched the raven-haired boy walk out of sight. What...was that feeling? It felt...cold. Eerie. Threatening. But familiar. Like...

It was an instinct...to stay away from that man.

((((((((Hunting))))))))

"Hey Ren, how do you think they move and sort all our luggage? I heard that stuff like that is moved by dwarves and gnomes. Do you think Beacon hired dwarves and gnomes to sort through all the new arrivals' luggage? Or maybe they stay here full time and help with the paperwork. Could you imagine little dwarves and gnomes dressed in business suits? Hehe, they'd look so funny. Oh, I hope they don't go through our stuff. I hope they don't go through our underwear. Do you think we could be dealing with underwear dwarves Ren? Or worse, underwear gnomes?"

"Nora, I really doubt the staff hired dwarves and gnomes in suits to search through our underwear and luggage."

"You're right." The ginger-haired girl with the mismatched clothes stopped in place for a moment before a bigger smile took its place, "It must be robots!"

The boy in the green long-sleeved tailcoat just sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He only had himself to blame for thinking he could rationalize with his childhood friend.

Nora had basically been jumping off the walls the entire trip up to Beacon. To be fair she was usually always jumping off the walls but this time she was also very excited about seeing their new school.

Ren decided to try and warn his best friend about making too much trouble, "Listen Nora, this is still a new place and we don't know anyone yet, so it might be better for us to stick together for awhile. At least until after orientation. Then we..."

She was never this quiet for this long.

Ren turned around and saw that his friend was nowhere in sight. He grew concerned, "Nora?"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY GIRL?!"

Nevermind. Found her.

Nora was looking up at the taller boy with the wild hair, "I thought dogs like to be pet. Don't you want pets?"

"I'M NOT A DOG!" The boy arguing in protest was a tall young man with unruly brown hair spiking up in every direction and very pronounced canine teeth, almost like fangs. His nails were very sharp and down his cheeks were red markings that almost looked like fangs as well.

Nora stayed quiet for a moment before asking, "Then why do you look like a dog? And smell like one too?"

"I just look like this all right! And the dog smell is my dogs back home!" He pulled on his faded green jacket and pointed at it, "They were rolling in my stuff before I went! It's not me!"

"If you like dogs so much then why are you angry?"

"BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE BEING PETTED!"

"Nora!"

"Hey Ren!" Nora waved to her friend before pointing to the fuming stranger, "I met someone new! He likes dogs but doesn't like being pet! But I think I saw him thumping his leg for a moment when I was scratching his hair."

The boy reached behind him and pulled out a handle that started to mechanically fold out into a red and black tonfa. He snarled his teeth-

"Woah! Woah! Hold on a second!" Ren got between the boy and his adventurous friend and tried to mediate the situation, "Listen, um..."

"Kiba."

"Kiba. My name is Ren. And my friend here is Nora." Ren spoke in a calm manner, "I'm sorry about any offense or misunderstandings that she might have cause you. She's a bit peculiar...and can't really control her enthusiasm. I swear she didn't mean to bring attention to your Faunus tendencies or insult you in any way."

"I'm not a Faunus. I'm just..." Kiba motioned to his whole outer look and shrugged, "Kinda wild lookin' I guess."

"Oh." Ren thought for a moment before shaking his head and focusing again, "Even so, it was rude and inappropriate for her to...pet you. Nora, why don't you apologize to Kiba and-"

"She's gone."

"What?"

"She left awhile ago."

Ren looked behind him to see that the joyful orange-haired girl was gone. They heard a cheerful laugh and looked up to see Nora balancing on the side of the fountain and kicking the water.

Kiba scratched his chin and patted Ren's shoulder, "Hey man, I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful, but you might wanna think about putting her on a leash."

Ren rubbed his face and shook his head, "No. Leashes wouldn't work on Nora. The adults tried to keep her tied up like that when she was a kid and she dragged them down the street." Ren looked down at his feet, "She bit through the cone as well."

Kiba looked at the girl dancing in the fountain before giving Ren a sympathetic look, "That's a helluva girlfriend to live with."

"It's not like that."

"Pfft, yeah right."

((((((((Hunting))))))))

"It was so scary. She was loud. And she kept using big words. A-and I don't think she took a second to breathe during the whole thing." Ruby sulked while taking a quick sip from her Udder Satisfaction drink before looking at the two boys sitting with her on the bench, "I'm not overreacting, right?"

"No. I mean, I don't think so." Jaune swished his You're F-ed protein drink around before looking at Ruby with wry smile, "Then again you did blow her up. So...there's that."

Ruby just hung heard head and lightly sobbed, "Oh geez..."

"Don't worry." Jaune and Ruby looked over at Naruto as he popped open a second can of People Like Grapes Soda and gave them a reassuring smile, "Some girls may act tough and callous but on the inside they just want a friend they can trust. Give it some time and I'm sure you and her will come around."

Ruby brightened up at the idea before looking at Naruto in hope, "You think so?"

Naruto took a quick swig from his drink before looking at the younger girl, "I have no idea. I don't know any girls."

"Uhhhhhh..." Ruby groaned and hung her head forward until she fell off the bench and laid face-down on the ground.

Jaune looked over at Naruto dryly, "Great job man."

"Sorry. But just give it some time. Problems need to be fixed at their own pace."

Ruby weakly pulled herself back up in her seat and gave a solemn nod, "Yeah, okay." She then looked at the two boys sitting besides her and decided to make conversation, "So...Jaune, Naruto...are you guys brothers?"

The two blond boys looked between each other before shaking their heads, "No."

"Oh." Ruby was actually surprised the guys with identical hair and eyes weren't related, "Sorry. It's just you kinda look alike."

"Well as far as I know we aren't related." Jaune continued, "Actually I only met Naruto a little while ago. After we got off the ship."

Naruto sat up a little, "Well I just thought some poor guy literally throwing up his organs right after landing could've used a little help."

Ruby perked up a little and looked at Jaune while giggling, "That was you!"

Jaune tried to defend himself, "I-I was a little woozy after getting off the ship! And I don't think I was 'literally' throwing up my organs!"

"Jaune. I was there. I stood next to you. Believe me, you were. In fact..." Naruto held up his can of grape soda, "Take this."

Jaune raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"To help with your breath."

Jaune's eyes widened and he breathed into his hand to catch a whiff of his breath. He sighed and took Naruto's drink before gulping it all down to give his breath a better scent.

While Jaune chugged the drink, Naruto looked towards the younger girl, "Hey Ruby, try not to take any offense to this, but aren't you a little too young to be attending Beacon?"

Ruby laughed and nodded her head, "Yep. I'm 15 years old."

The older boys looked at her in amazement with Jaune being the first to comment, "Woah! You got accepted into Beacon 2 years early! That's-that's amazing!"

"Yeah..." Ruby felt sheepish and looked down at her boots, "I guess you could say that."

Naruto noticed the hesitation when she said that, "But...you don't think it's all that great?"

"I think I'm lucky to be accepted into the best school ever. I just didn't want it to happen when I'm so different from everyone else." Ruby started pouring her heart out, "I mean people are gonna see a girl younger than them in the school they worked so hard to get into and they'll think; 'Oh, she thinks she's so special!' Or 'Oh, she's thinks she's so much better than us!' Or even 'Oh, it's that weird girl that got special treatment!'" Ruby sulked, "Do you know how horrible it is to be in a place you haven't earned your place in?"

Naruto looked forward, "I've got some idea."

Jaune looked down at his drink, "It's not that hard to think about."

Ruby then looked off with a pout, "And even though I feel all confused and freaked out, my darling big sister just left me alone to be with her friends."

"You think that's bad?" Naruto glared forward, "The only real friend I've got jumped at the chance to ditch me so he can 'check the luggage.' And I know he should've been done by now."

"At least you guys have people to ditch you." Jaune hung his head, "I'm all alone in a brand new school...and I threw up everywhere."

...

Naruto realized something, "Our first day here sucks."

"Yep."

"No argument there."

The three unfortunate friends all hung their heads as a very large rain cloud poured down on them.

Ruby tried to find a silver lining, "Well, at least I've still got Crescent Rose with me. That helps calm my nerves a little."

The boys looked up, "What's a Crescent Rose?"

"Only the coolest, most awesome weapon in the whole wide world!" Ruby handed Jaune her drink, causing the blond klutz to fumble and nearly drop all three drinks before Naruto took two of them to save the mess. Ruby stood in front of them and took something off her back, "Tada!"

From behind her back, the small girl pulled out a massive red and black scythe the popped into place with a mechanical hiss until its massive blade imbedded itself in the ground.

"Woah!"

"This is Crescent Rose! My personal High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe!" She grabbed the bolt and popped a round out of the chamber before smirking, "Watch yourselves guys. She's a biter."

"That thing's like twice your size!" Naruto remarked, stars in his eyes at the absolutely badass weapon the younger girl possessed. Ahhhhhhh...he wanted to hold it so bad~.

"Yeah. The recoil's so strong I actually use it to bounce around during training."

"That's awesome!" Jaune looked at the girl and her weapon in disbelief before laughing, "I think I know why you were accepted so early now."

"Yeah~, maybe." Ruby stroked her lovable weapon before asking, "What about you guys? What do you have?"

"My weapon's with my luggage." Naruto said with a disappointed tone at not being able to show off his weapon as well, "I didn't want to raise any suspicion by carrying it on me so I packed it with my other stuff. Kinda wishing I didn't do that."

"Well that sucks."

"Yeah." Naruto opened his hands to reveal two little black knives with rounded grips, "All I've got with me are these."

Ruby's and Jaune's eyes widened in shock at how he nearly pulled those out of thin air. Jaune asked, "Where did those come from?!"

Naruto nonchalantly lifted up his foot to reveal the heel of his boots were hollow.

Ruby looked at Naruto in shock, "You keep two concealed knives in your boots? Like, all the time?"

Naruto just nodded.

Ruby had stars in her eye, "Awwwwww~, that's so cool!"

"Yeah, I know." Naruto said with a smug tone in his voice while he twirled the knives in his hands for extra effect.

"What are their names?"

"Their what now?"

"Their names?" Ruby asked, "They have names right?"

"No. They're just some extra knives I've got hidden. They don't need-"

"Of course they need names!" Ruby said passionately while pointing at Naruto, "Our weapons are an extension of ourselves. Even knives like those are still a part of you! They deserve the same kinda love as your main weapon! It's like picking a favorite child! You just don't!"

Naruto was silent after being yelled at by the short girl before he looked at the knives in his hands. He thought for a moment...

Right: "This one's Stabby."

Left: "This one's Cutty."

Ruby looked at him with a flat stare, "Really?"

He smirked before looking towards the last member of their little gang, "What about you Jaune?"

"Well...nothing special like hidden knives or...knifles." Jaune said in a defeated tone before he reached to his scabbard and pulled out an old war blade. He held it at arm length to show it better, "Mine's just a sword. I kinda wish it could do something cool but nope. Just kinda swish, swish, stab."

Ruby tried to cheer him up, "At least it's doing what swords do best."

"Yeah. And there's this too." Jaune pulled out the scabbard on his side before it folded open and became a shield with a double crescent moon symbol on the front, "Yep. My Crocea Mors. The hand-me-down of the Arc family for generations."

Naruto shrugged, "Well, that's still pretty cool."

"You think?"

"Yeah." Ruby added with a nod of her head, "That things got history. Personality. All that cool jazz." Ruby chuckled awkwardly for a moment before coughing and smiling, "Plus, it looks good with the whole 'knights of old' look. I think its cool."

Jaune perked up at the compliment, "Aw, thanks."

"Well, some people do need protection." They looked over to see Naruto wipe under his nose and grin, "But I never needed protection with a shield before."

Ruby looked at him jokingly, "Oh really? What? You don't get hurt?"

"Oh no. I get hurt." Naruto looked off, "Actually, I get hurt a lot. Almost a very concerning amount..." He smiled, "But I don't usually stay hurt for long."

"What does that mean?"

"Watch." Naruto placed Stabby back in his right shoe and held Cutty over his palm. He slowly traced the knife's edge over his skin until blood started to seep out.

Ruby and Jaune got squeamish, "Eep(x2)!"

Ruby screamed, "Naruto, what are you doing?!"

"Give me a sec."

"Um, Naruto, I don't do good with blood." Jaune started to hyperventilate and get woozy, "The sight of blood! The-the smell of blood! Just thinking of blood kinda makes me-oh-oh no-"

"Hold your lunch Jaune, you're gonna want to see this." Naruto held his hand out to show his new friends the fresh cut along his hand. And just as they were growing concerned with whether they made friends with a psychopath, the cut started to quickly seal itself up and heal.

While Jaune and Ruby were nearly slack-jawed at the sight, Naruto waved his hand and smiled, "I have a little thing called Regeneration."

Ruby swooned, "Woah~. You can make doubles of yourself?"

"Yeah-wait, what? No. That's not what regeneration does."

"Oh." Ruby tilted her head, "What am I thinking about then?"

Jaune answered, "Duplication maybe?"

"What's regeneration then?"

"It means he can heal from cuts and stuff. Like a lizard."

"Oh..." Ruby was even more impressed, "That's so much cooler."

"Yeah." Naruto tossed his knife in his hand and grinned, "This little condition of mine has saved my bacon more times than I can count."

"What if you lose an arm?" Jaune asked enthusiastically while thinking about the useful power his blond friend had, "Like if it got cut off or something could you grow a new one?"

Ruby asked next, "Oh! Oh! Does a new you grow from the arm?"

"What about a leg?"

"Or your head?"

"Um..." Naruto placed his last knife away before thinking, "I don't know because I've never been in situations like that. And I really don't want to."

"Well, yeah, I guess."

"Makes sense."

"You probably avoid situations like that."

"I probably don't want to know what it's like if you...lose a head."

After a moment, the three weirdos looked between each other and just chuckled at the direction their conversation had made.

Ruby then blinked and looked around, "Hey, aren't we supposed to be going to the orientation right now?"

Naruto stopped laughing with a look of realization over his face, "Oh, I knew there was something I forgot."

"Where is it?"

"I don't know!"

"How could you not know?"

"Why don't either of you know?! It was in those pamphlets they were handing out!"

"Yang took ours!"

"Sasuke took ours!"

"I didn't even grab one! I was too worried about the flight!"

"So none of us know where to go?!"

"No(x2)!"

"Oh my god, this is the worst first day ever!"

((((((((Hunting))))))))

In the main structure of the Beacon Academy building was a massive presentation hall. This was used for presentations, a small arena in the other room for training and sparring, and at the moment was being prepared for the orientation of new students.

Naruto, Ruby, and Jaune barged into the large building with just moments to spare. They held themselves up on their knees and were panting after sprinting in from their long distance.

"S-see, I told ya it was the big center building!" Naruto pushed himself up and wiped his face, "It's always the big building that draws the most attention where the best stuff happens!"

"Right..."

"Yeah, we'll keep that in mind." They all looked around at the crowded space they found themselves in as the students were all conversing with each other.

Jaune almost felt minuscule, "W-wow, this is a lot of people."

Ruby slumped in disappointment, "How am I supposed to find Yang now?"

"Ruby!"

They all looked over to see the taller blonde girl wave her sister over, "C'mon! I saved you a spot!"

Naruto shrugged, "Well, that was convenient."

"Ohhhhh..." Ruby started rolling her shoulders in place to loosen up, "She's gonna be so sorry when I'm done with her." Ruby started marching over before looking back at her new friends and waving goodbye, "I'll see you guys later."

Jaune and Naruto waved the girl goodbye before the armor clad boy hung his head, "Well there goes the nice, quirky person in our little group of weirdo misfits."

Naruto felt insulted, "What? I'm not nice and quirky enough?"

Jaune shook his head, "That's just weird."

"Yeah I know." He patted his new friend's back and walked ahead, "C'mon, this thing's gonna start any moment."

The room was full of students talking amongst themselves to near deafening proportions until the screens over the stage turned on. From behind the stage door, Ozpin and his top teacher, Glynda Goodwitch, walked out on stage. Ozpin took a moment to prepare himself and tapped on the microphone until the sounds resonated through the speakers.

After he was done, he stood there for a moment and just looked out at all the students looking up at him.

("You all know why you are here. You have worked or proven yourselves ready to take the next step in your lives. Through adversity. Through pain. And now that you are all here, you must be thinking that you're futures have been set in stone. Well I'm here to tell you...that you are wrong. Coming to this school does not mean that you have reached the end of your journey. In fact, this is nothing more than a stepping stone for what you must decide. Your choices will be harder. Your days will be long. Some of you may not even be able to cope with what's ahead. All we can do for you is try to prepare you for what may happen. Whatever your future holds, this is for certain...")

("Your halcyon days are over from this point on.")

Ozpin stepped away from the microphone and Glynda stepped up, ("Tomorrow will be your initiation. Tonight, you will all gather together in the ballroom to sleep. Be prepared for anything.")

Jaune gulped and leaned over to Naruto, "That seemed kinda...bleak for an initiation speech, right?"

Naruto just stared ahead at the stage as the words started to sink in.

((((((((Hunting))))))))

Naruto was lying on his sleeping bag and staring up at the ceiling, dressed in his PJ's and nightcap to cover his hair. He sighed and just kept looking at the dim lights overhead, ignoring the guys talking around him and remembering the words Ozpin had spoke. Not just on stage but in the interrogation room as well.

Looks like he wasn't just blowing air when he said all that stuff. He really meant it.

"Well, you definitely look like the teeth pulling experience has subsided." Naruto looked back to see Sasuke in a black shirt and loose gray pants standing over him. He waved to his friend lying on the sleeping bag.

Naruto smiled a little, "Oh look, it's my partner and best friend in the world, Ditchy the Asshole."

"Oh come on, don't take it so personally." Sasuke smiled while defending himself, "Look! You found your stuff right? Your clothes. Gatling Stormer. I did what we were asked to do."

"Yeah." Naruto turned to lay on his stomach while glaring up at his standing friend, "And then you ditched me for the rest of the day. Which is why you are Ditchy...the Asshole."

"All right well I can see you're going to be crabby for awhile so I won't even bother." The raven-haired boy looked around at all the boys sleeping on one side and all the girls sleeping on the other. He then looked down at Naruto, "Did you even try talking to someone today?"

"As a matter of fact, I did." Naruto propped himself on his elbows, "I met two people today. They were nice. Cool. Funny. Way better people than you."

"Hmmm..." Sasuke shook his head, "I don't believe you."

"Oh piss off you prick."

"Hey Naruto!"

Naruto smiled when he heard Jaune's voice call out to him and sat up a little, "There's one of them right now. Sasuke, I'd like to introduce you to Jaune-oh dear god man what are you wearing?"

Jaune came walking over in his full-body pajamas and slippers while Naruto looked up at him in horror. Jaune looked himself over, "What? They're my PJ's. They are warm and comfy."

Sasuke nodded his head, "He seems nice."

Naruto looked up at Jaune in disbelief and just absentmindedly shook his head, "Jaune, that's the kinda stuff that a little two-year old wears to keep warm. Or-or maybe old people who are trying not to mess themselves. I-I-I'm drawing a blank. It's just so ridiculous."

Sasuke scoffed, "Oh please, like you're one to talk."

"What?"

"Naruto, you walk around all day in an orange vest. You are no one to judge people's clothing choices."

"Oh come on! That's stylish!"

"No. No it's not."

"But...they sold it to me telling me it was."

"Then you were lied to."

"Gale wouldn't lie to me."

"Gale's been lying to your face."

"Oh Gale, why?" Naruto hung his head sadly at the thought.

While Naruto was sulking, Jaune and Sasuke looked at each other. Jaune held out his hand, "Nice to meet you. I'm Jaune Arc."

Sasuke shook his hand, "Sasuke Uchiha. And I'm sorry to hear that you had to spend the whole day taking care of my friend here."

"Oh no, it's fine. Naruto's a cool guy." Jaune defended his new friend before looking off to the side, "Until-y'know-the part where he cut across his hand with a knife."

"Oh god." Sasuke rubbed the bridge of his nose before he tried to scold his friend, "Naruto, I've told you to stop showing people that. It's disgusting."

"What? It's a conversation starter."

"Conversations that start off like 'Oh god! What's wrong with you, you freak?!' Something like that."

"It still starts a party."

((((((((Hunting))))))))

Yang rested on her side and looked at her baby sister as she sulked into her pillow, "Okay...so let me get this straight...you knocked a girl's luggage over, she started yelling, you blew her up, another girl came and stopped the fighting, they both walked away without saying another word, and then two guys you never met before came to help you?"

Ruby hummed, "Uh huh."

Yang thought for a moment before smiling and shaking her head, "I'm sorry. Don't believe it. I mean I'm happy that you can openly talk with people you just met but I'm finding it hard to believe you blew someone up and made friends in the span of an afternoon."

Yang received a pillow thrown squarely into her face.

"No thanks to you." Ruby pouted before lying back down on her bag, "This never would've happened if you didn't ditch me."

"Oh, it wasn't that bad."

"I was crying Yang!"

"You weren't crying."

"I was gonna start crying Yang!" Ruby put a hand under her cheek to hold herself up, "I'm just glad Naruto and Jaune were there to help me."

"I still find it hard to believe."

"They're real! Honestly!" Ruby sat up and tried to defend her point, "Jaune's this nice and weird guy who was on the ship with us. He was the one throwing up on us actually-"

"You made friends with Barf Boy?"

"-and Naruto's this guy who can cut himself and-um-he makes bacon."

Yang raised an eyebrow, "He makes bacon when he cuts himself?"

"No! I-I mean he said something about bacon. I-" Ruby huffed and stood up before grabbing Yang's arm and leading her to the other side of the room, "C'mon, it's easier if I just introduce you!"

"Oh. Okay. Well if you want to go over to the boys' side so late at night I'm not one to argue."

The two sisters walked through the ocean of sleeping bags and lazy students until they were in ear shot of a certain conversation taking place...

"I'm telling you I wasn't throwing up for kicks! I just can't handle transportation!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean any offense by it. I just didn't realize that was you."

"You shoulda been there Sasuke. He didn't stop for like ten minutes. It was like a machine. A stinky yet amazing machine." Their boy talk ended when Naruto spotted a familiar face walking over, "Oh hey Ruby, you just missed the fun conversation we were having."

"Hey." Ruby motioned to the blonde besides her, "Naruto, this is my big sister Yang. Yang, Naruto."

Naruto nodded up at the surprised blonde girl, "Hey. You must be the 'back-stabbing big sister' we've been hearing so much about."

Yang blinked in honest shock, "Oh wow, you're actually real. That's...unexpected. But really welcome. Yang Xiao Long, at your service."

Naruto gave a small salute, "Naruto Uzumaki, ready to serve back."

Ruby motioned besides them, "And this is Jaune Arc, the one in the funny footsie pajamas."

Yang giggled a little, "That's definitely Barf Boy."

"No-I..." Jaune hung his head and sighed before waving his hand, "Yeah, I'm Barf Boy, nice to meet you."

Ruby pointed to the black-haired boy, "And this is...someone I don't know."

"Sasuke Uchiha." He nodded to the two ladies, "I'm the one in charge of making sure this idiot doesn't cause too much trouble."

Jaune looked hurt, "What did I do?"

Sasuke shook his head, "No, not you. That idiot."

Naruto scoffed, "Like you ever stopped me from making an idiot out of myself."

"Wow Ruby, you were actually telling the truth about these guys. That's great!" She patted her baby sister on the back in pride before she groaned, "Oh god, you really blew someone up."

"I told you!"

Sasuke blinked in confusion, "Wait, someone blew up?"

"You didn't know someone blew up?"

"He wasn't there to find out. Because he's Ditchy...the Ass-"

Sasuke interrupted, "How did someone blow up?"

"It was an accident! I have allergies! When stuff like that gets up my nose-"

"You blew her up with your allergies?"

"No, with Dust!"

"You sneeze Dust?"

"No, she was just waving Dust all around and it got up my nose and-"

"Excuse me!" The little group of students all turned to see Weiss with her hair down and wearing a night gown walk over to them with a firm level in her voice, "I'm sorry if you haven't realized yet but there are people here trying to sleep so if you could...YOU!"

Ruby hid her face, "Oh no."

They all looked towards the youngest member, "What's wrong?"

"She's the girl I blew up."

"Oh~(x4)."

Weiss rubbed her face, "I should have known it was you causing such a ruckus."

Yang took a step forward towards the stubborn heiress, "Hey, look, um-"

"Weiss."

"-Weiss, I'm sorry if you had a bad first impression of my sister Ruby. But I promise she isn't as weird as you might have believed her to be."

Naruto hesitantly groaned, "Well-"

"No!" Yang sent him a threatening glare, "Nothing from you!"

"Ugh." Weiss rubbed her temples with a pained groan, "I think I'm starting to get a migraine."

"Well that's a shame gorgeous~. A pretty little Snow Angel like you shouldn't be in such a stressful situation." Jaune slid by her side and spoke with confidence nobody believed he had, "Maybe you need someone like Jaune Arc to help you through the pain~."

Weiss took a moment to look the scraggly blond boy over from head to toe.

"No."

"Okay. Worth a shot."

As they watched the footsie wearing boy walk away, Weiss turned forward again, "Look, I just want to go to bed and prepare for the initiation tomorrow. So get your little apologies out now and...where did she go?!"

Yang looked behind her to see nothing there. She looked around for her little sister before looking at Naruto and Sasuke, "Where'd she go?"

They pointed off to the side where Ruby was making her way over to the wall. Ruby sneaked her way past all the other people until she finally arrived at her destination and waved at the girl sitting against the wall, "Hello."

The bow wearing girl in a black kimono looked up from her book to see the young girl standing over her, "Oh...aren't you that girl that blew herself up?"

"I blew me and Weiss up but yeah, that's me." Ruby put her hands behind her back and felt nervous talking to the aloof girl, "I never got a chance to thank you for helping me earlier. I didn't even ask you your name. Mine's Ruby...just so you know."

She went back to reading her book, "I'm Blake."

"It's nice to meet you Blake." She noticed the bow wearing girl was still paying attention to her book, "So...what book are you reading?"

Blake's eyes looked up at Ruby before looking back at the pages, "It's a story of a man with two souls. Both fighting for dominance over each other and ownership of their shared body. And both suffering the consequences of the other being in control. 'If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.' Books about duality like that always interested me."

"Oh, that's cool." Ruby felt completely overwhelmed by Blake's superior taste in literature and terminology. What the heck was duality? Was it edible? Ruby chuckled awkwardly, "I guess I was always more favorable of picture books and stuff. Stories about knights saving princesses and saving the day."

Blake laughed lightheartedly, "Well, most children are raised on books like that so they leave a very strong impression. But you shouldn't let stories like that set your whole ideal about the world. There are far worse monsters out there than dragons and Grimm. And some of them might be walking around us without our even knowing."

"Yeah, I know." Ruby nodded her head with a faint smile on her face, "I know that the world isn't as black and white as we're supposed to believe. But I still think that there are people that can do some good out there."

"Are you sure? There are some pretty bad people in this world that would do whatever they can for their purpose."

"Yeah, but we're still here." Ruby looked around at all the students filling the ballroom, "Everyone that's come here is doing it for different reasons. Different goals. But we're all trying to make the world a better place anyway we can. Even you and I might be able to do something to help better the world."

"You know, that's a pretty naive and childish way to look at the world." Ruby felt like she failed to make her point before Blake looked up from her book and smiled, "But that doesn't sound so bad when you think about it."

Ruby cheered up and smiled, "I guess we'll just have to see what happens, huh Blake?"

"Yeah, I guess you're-"

"There you are!" Weiss came marching over with a scowl directed towards the silver-eyed girl, "You've been bugging me all day and it stops now! And you! You were there with us too! I remember what you said!"

"Ruby!" Yang came running over next, "I tried to stop her but she was talking so fast that I got worried and confused!"

"Wait! Wait! Stop everything!" Naruto came running up behind before he breathed out in relief, "I didn't want to miss a moment of this. Okay, contiune." This earned him scowls from all girls present and a punch in the shoulder by Yang.

"You aren't helping in the least!" Weiss turned back towards Ruby and pointed at her, "You need to seriously leave me alone! This situation has only gone from bad to worse with your involvement!"

Ruby begged her, "Please let me make it up to you! I swear I can do good!"

"You said that before and all you've caused me so far is pain and nausea!"

"HOLY CRAP WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!"

"WE'RE TRYING TO GO TO BED!"

"HEY! WE ARE DISCUSSING SOMETHING HERE! SO YOU ALL NEED TO SHUT UP!"

As the entire room gotten into an upheaval and multiple objects started being thrown at each other, Blake sighed and closed her book.

Was it too much to ask for a little peace and quiet? Especially when she was getting to the good part.

((((((((Hunting))))))))

Done

So, I got some reviews from people that said they really want me to continue this little idea. And I am nothing if not a crowd pleaser.

Just to put it in my train of thought, I thought it would be a cool idea to make Tenten unable to create her own weapon because of how she handles it in canon. She usually spams weapons out of her scrolls but when she uses one weapon in particular she seems pretty skilled. And being able to use multiple weapons seems like something someone from RWBY could do if it is handled right.

Anyway...
