RWBY belongs to Monty Oum
Chapter 1
"I still do not understand why did you invite her to the academy she is only 15 years old and she hasn't graduated from signal either." Said Glynda as she looked outside the window in the headmaster's office looking at the airships that would set for vale to pick up the students.
"She already has the talent as you could see for yourself yesterday, plus Qrow trained her very well." Said Ozpin taking a zip from his coffee mug.
Glynda just gave a sigh as they heard the alarm in his desk go off signaling that there was someone outside.
"Early as always." Said Ozpin while pressing a button letting the door open to reveal Drake to who every people would say he had a poker face.
"Good morning Professor, miss Goodwitch." Said Drake giving each an small nod and took seat in one of the chairs inside the office.
"Good morning as well Drake, you too lambert." Said Ozpin knowing that the puppy was inside the hood.
"Don't bother he is lazy at this time of the morning."
"Of course it is rather early in the morning, do you know what you are going to do correct?" asked Ozpin as he zipped from his mug.
"Yes, I will get in the airships that will go to vale to pick the students and take assistance of all of them and check all the luggage to see that there are not any kind of forbidden material inside of the campus, then after landing back here I will retake my functions for this new year." Answered Drake in a monotone voice.
"Yeah, but this year will be different for you."
At this Drake gave his teacher a questioning look.
"You are 17 now and have experience in combat and strategy."
Drake didn't like were this was going.
"Therefore this year you will be living in this academy not just as my apprentice but also an student of this academy."
He looked at both professors in the office, as did lambert that just woke up in the headgear of the hood.
"I have no problem with that although, I have some questions."
"Shoot."
"First, do I get to keep my room? Second, do I have to attend to the classes I ask seeing that I have received classes from professor port and professor Bartholomew among others? And finally this is not a question but more of a formal petition, I want to be a single unit."
"In order: yes, you may speak with the teacher I am sure Bartholomew will have no problem but cant say the same about peter or the others. And finally, are you sure about your petition?" asked Ozpin looking with concerned eyes at his student.
He was about to answer but Glynda got ahead of him.
"I agree with Drake's petition seeing that he still has problems keeping control whenever he feels he is in a live or death situation not distinguishing friend from enemy, plus you said it yourselves he is experienced enough to do things by himself."
Drake gave a mental thanks to Glynda although his face was still neutral.
Ozpin gave a sigh in defeat knowing full well that he wouldn't be able to won an argument when this 2 are in the same side.
"Ok, but only if you prove you can do it alone in the initiation, you may go now the ships are about to go, and something else leave you katanas here while you are in vale, you may keep you hidden blades but use them just in case of emergency."
He took his sheathed blades from his back and putted them in the table.
He gave a nod as lambert gave an small bark saying his goodbyes as Drake exited the office.
"He needs to socialize more, he can't always let his instincts take over whenever he is in the battlefield and even so he can still try to talk to people whenever they are not in battle or class." Said Ozpin as he took the blades and put them in a safe place.
"Can you really blame him, after that incident that happened in the forest 3 years ago all the student try to stay away from him and especially since his dog it is not a normal one, if you know what I mean." Said Glynda.
Ozpin just sighed as he served more coffee in his mug.
"Yes, at least most of the student that were around in that time have already graduated or are in their last year while others are don't know anything." Said Ozpin as he zipped from his coffee as he saw from the view outside the window.
Drake was walking to the airships with lambert walking by his side as he saw that there were several people some of them pilots but there were 2 person that were not which were greeting him with their hands.
"Good morning, Professor Port, Professor Bartholomew." Said Drake as he bowed his head a little and lambert just raised his paw.
"Good morning indeed mister Drake you too lambert." Said port as he greeted both to which Bartholomew did the same.
"So I take it Ozpin gave you the news?" asked Bartholomew.
"About me becoming an official student, I take it he told all the faculty about it?"
to which both gave a nod making Drake mentally sigh but that at least saved him the explanation and asking them both something.
"Since both of you know, then let me ask you something. Since I have already classes with both of you since young age and seeing in in the same plan of class I wonder if I could get absolved from both your classes?" he asked hoping to avoid the biggest pain of all.
"Nonsense my boy even if you already know the class an student must always attend to class, who know I may even tell you some stories you never heard, now if you allow me I have to board my ship, gentleman, lambert" said Peter as he began to walk to the direction of another ship.
Drake mentally sighed seeing that the thing he wanted to avoid the most.
"For some reason I doubt that seeing that he always tells the same stories in the same order, plus who needs an sleepy song when you have his stories right?" asked Bartholomew as he took an zip from his coffee mug which wasn't in his hand when he arrived.
"I have nothing against him and his class can be interesting when he is not telling his stories." Said Drake still with a poker face but his eyes said otherwise.
"I had to spent all the academy years until now with him, so I think you have no right to complain about it. About my class." He said gaining the attention of Drake.
"Since you already now all my history lessons I think there is indeed no need to attend to it, but just so you know there is always an extra chair in my classroom." Said the professor, as he zipped more from his mug not noticing that Drake had a little smile in his face.
"I need to go now and so should you since it looks like we are ready to take off, by the way good luck with the flight." Said the professor as he went to his ship in a high speed.
Drake had completely forgotten about that, he looked at the entrance of his ship as Lambert looked at him with worry.
He began to walk to the entrance as Lambert jumped in the headgear of his hood while Drake entered in one of the things he hated the most, airships.
In the heliport of vale were a great number of students, the airships had just arrive revealing various members of the faculty along with what everyone saw a teen with blonde hair wearing goggles that didn't let them see the color of his eyes but what surprised the must was that he was so pale that it looked like if he had seen a ghost.
"Ok, the old student already know the drill get in line to your respective ships, and the first years get in line so we can verify you identity and also leave your luggage in the wall over there while someone check there is nothing illegal there so if I were you I would begin cleaning your things." Said professor port
Of course the person who would be checking the backs would be Drake but first he had to check the scrolls of the student to see their id.
One by one passed in the station where Drake was, he guessed that the reason he was put in charge of the first years was because he would see his classmates for the next few years.
He saw many names and pictures a few that caught his attention.
After doing that all of the students began to board their ships as lambert and Drake began waling near the luggage of the first years, thanks to lambert he found a good amount of things that would be illegal in the campus, Lambert just signaled him the backs that had funny smell making his job more easier.
Thanks to him he found a lot of things and some expensive one that a certain professor would love to have.
They had just landed in beacon and Drake was trying his best to stand still every time he boarded an airship he became pale for some reason, he didn't throw up, but always became pale and dizzy.
He was literally the last one to get out of the ship already missing the ceremony given by Ozpin, which reminded him that he had to report to him. He took a bag that held all the confiscated items walked with lambert next to him seeing that a lot of students were heading to the lunch hall while he headed in the opposite direction.
He reached the elevator and waited to reach the last floor waiting for the doors to open.
The doors opened to reveal both Ozpin drinking from his mug, which was not amusing, and Glynda looking at her scroll checking the first years.
"Oh Drake how was the flight?" asked Ozpin which made Drake looked at him with annoyed eyes.
"You know very well how get in airships, but anyway there is something I wanted to ask you?" he said as he seated and lean back in the chair.
"Why is the younger daughter of Summer Rose here?" asked Drake with a serious glare as he took off his goggles.
"Told you it was a bad idea." Said Glynda not looking at either
Ozpin explained what had happened last night and told him his reason of why she should be here.
"Saying that a 15 years old is ready it is not an excuse and do not even begin to compare her to Me."
Ozpin just sighed and then looked at Drake.
"What it is done it`s done, now I have one last task before the day ends as you know professor port will be watching the student at night so there are not any problems but until then I want you to look after then until then."
He just nodded as he picked his blades from the table and walked away not saying another word and entering the elevator while he putted his goggles back on.
Right now he was walking to Drake was walking to the ballroom when all of the sudden Lambert began to run in another direction.
"Lambert!" shouted Drake without any success since his dog kept running until he enter a building of the faculty, Drake sighed and followed him.
When he entered he was surprised when he saw a girl slightly shorter than him with black hair, black bow and amber eyes caressing Lambert, she looked at him and said.
"Is he yours? It is such a cute puppy I came running at me and then stood there looking at me."
"Yes I apologize he tends to do that from time to time." He said as he tried to remember her name, he knew she was a first year but couldn't remember her name.
"May I ask what are you doing here? All first year should be in the ballroom." He said as lambert jumped in this shoulder and entered his favorite spot in the jacket.
"I am sorry professor I was just looking for the library since I am about to finish the book I am currently reading, do you think you could show me where it is?"
"Of course but just so you know I am not a professor I am a first year just like you." Said Drake as he motioned his hand to follow him.
"Then why were you helping this morning in the morning along with the other professors?" asked the girl a little curious.
"Well you see miss… sorry I cant remember your name from all the students" said Drake still in a monotone voice.
"Blake Belladonna."
"Well miss Belladonna I was asked by professor Ozpin to help with along the other professors and since I know the staff it wasn't really a problem."
That got Blake curios 'Who is this guy to know all the staff? Especially since e is supposed to be also a first year?' she wanted to ask but didn't since she didn't want her curiosity to get the best of her.
"we are here." Said Drake interruption Blake`s thoughts while opening the door.
She was awed at the size of the library and especially the novel section.
Drake looked at her like if he was watching a little girl getting her favorite doll, his chains of thought were interrupted as he remembered something he noticed right now and while they were walking here.
"Miss Belladonna can I give you a piece of advice?" he asked getting Blake's attention as she looked at him.
"May I suggest that you didn't try to show to much excitement?"
"Excuse me?"
he pointed at her bow.
"It is making you bow to move irrationally, pretty much revealing that there is something under it."
At this she panicked fearing she had been find out.
"Relax your secret is safe, I have no reason to blackmail you nor I have anything against Faunus."
She didn't know to believe him or not.
"How do I know you wont tell anyone?"
" You don't, but you secret is safe with me, although you may need to do something about that twitch of yours if you don't want to have the cat out of the bag."
Blake thought it was a joke of bad taste but seeing the seriousness in his face quickly discarded it, besides he doesn't know she is a cat faunus.
She gave him a smile.
"You know if it wasn't for that serious face of yours I would have thought it was a terrible pun. Thanks for the advice."
"There is no problem miss Belladonna, your secret is safe."
" you don't need to be so formal since you already know my secret and yet I don't even know your name." said Blake as she raised her arm.
"Drake it is a pleasure to meet you Blake." Said Drake sealing the handshake and giving her an small smile for the first time in the day.
'He should smile more often.' Thought Blake still curious about a lot of things specially the color of his eyes.
Drake had left Blake in the library and headed to the ballroom to see many students preparing for the night, he just laid back next to a wall with the bag of illegal items in campus while Lambert went who knows where.
It was getting dark and he still hadn't eaten anything thanks to all the nausea of the airships killing all his hunger until now.
"Excuse me professor." He heard a feminine voice interrupting.
'Again with the professor.'
He tuned to the direction of the voice an his eyes widened as he saw the youngest daughter of summer rose and her sister behind her holding between her chest none other than lambert.
"We were wondering if you could give some extra sleeping bags seeing that there are not much of them and me and my sister didn't get one." Said Ruby with a timid tone.
He got off the wall and looked at both.
"And you are asking me because?"
this time it was Yang Xiao Long who answered.
"Well we were wondering talking about were we could get more sleeping bags and all of the sudden this little fella here, began barking and pointing in this direction then we recognized from this morning and here we are."
He looked at lambert and then at Yang.
"Yeah wait here while I bring them here." Said Drake as he began walking to the storage building and stopped and turned back looking at Yang`s direction.
"You are in charge while I return." Yang was about to ask why her when lambert jumped from her chest to the ground he raised his paw and gave bark.
'Wow that is a well trained puppy.' Thought both sisters.
"Wait I am going with you, Ruby you stay here with the pup." Said Yang running after Drake, leaving Ruby along with lambert, which kept staring each other.
"Do you like cookies?" asked Ruby as the pup raised his arms in approval with stars in his eyes.
Meanwhile Drake and Yang were walking to storage building while Yang was trying to make small talk.
"So what classes do you teach?"
he gave a sigh as he answered " I am not a teacher just another student."
"But you know we the storage building is and besides you were with the others teachers in the morning."
"I know most of them, and I have lived here since I have memory."
"Oh"
they kept walking in silence for a while.
"Say, why are you using goggles at night?"
"You cant really bear the silent can`t you?"
"Sorry it is just that whenever I am with someone I tent to not be quiet."
"I don't mind I am just asking."
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself my name is Yang Xiao Long nice to meet you..."
"Drake and like wise." even thought he already knew who she was thanks to her stepmother.
They reached the storage building and turned on the lights.
"They should be around here… here they are, I am gonna pick a few in case you are not the only ones"
"Good idea, we should return soon, it is already dark and I am freezing and we are inside a building."
And that comment makes him realize that it was indeed cold outside, he took of his jacket and handed it to Yang.
"Here, it will keep you warm." He said as he turned off the lights.
"Wow, this is really warm." Yang said as he followed behind him.
"I know." He simple said.
"I cannot believe you, I haven't eaten in all day and I find you eating cookies how could you." Said Drake to lambert that was looking at him with puppy eyes.
"It wont work not this time." Replied Drake making his pup look down in defeat.
After he and Yang returned to the ball room everyone was getting ready to sleep, he found his dog along with Ruby eating cookies not caring of everything around him, at least he kept the bag safe and nothing bad happened, he sat against a wall with Blake who was already in her PJ's reading a book.
"Don't you think you are being a little harsh with him?" asked Blake looking the event that was taking place in front of her.
"He is a drama queen he is not sad believe me."
"Say do you have any idea of what the initiation will be?"
"Sorry cant say."
Their conversation was interrupted by Yang who was dragging Ruby where they were and was still wearing his jacket that she kept because according to her it was still cold.
Yang greeted him and said that she was trying to help Ruby to start a conversation with Blake since it looked like both of them were had already met early in the day, to which according to Yang was a lost cause.
That was until Ruby managed to actually hold a conversation with her about the cruel world we live in and the reason the came here in the first place, 'a big resolution for a 15 years old' thought Drake as another person came in, she didn't need presentation since Glynda had made him learn who were the VIP`s entering this year.
In front of him stood Weiss Schnee saying something about explosions and Ruby being warfare for her and all of this happened while Drake had a single thought 'where the hell is port?'
He stood up to end the conversation and sending them to sleep at least that was until someone else interrupted them.
"You!" shouted a tall boy with brown hair and blues eyes as he got closer to Drake.
"Where is it?" asked the boy gaining looks from everyone who was close to them.
"Where is what?" asked Drake not having any idea of what it was.
"Do not play dumb, I packed in my luggage a very expensive bottle of wine that I packed and you registered this morning so I ask where is it." Said the guy as he grabbed him from the collar of his shirt.
At this Drake grabbed his hands and twisted it a little and with the other he putted his arms in his neck pressing it slightly while with his leg kicked him making the tall guy fall on the floor, not waiting any time the bracelet in his right arm morphed into a hidden blade that was now a few millimeters away from the neck of they.
"If I recall correctly, professor port said to take all illegal items, including your precious bottle of wine." Drake said as he looked at the guy who had fear in his eyes while Drake could see his sight beginning to turn red.
Drake stopped as he felt a palm in his shoulder; he turned to see professor port with a face that said to calm down.
He retracted the HB back to a bracelet and stood back breathing trying to calm himself while port talked to the guy.
"Mister Winchester, it looks like you did not only confess trying to get alcohol inside of the campus but also assaulted a temporary member of the faculty, I suggest you to go back to your sleeping bag before I decide to give you a proper punishment."
The guy did as told while looking at Drake with fear and hate.
Professor port looked at Drake who was already relaxed.
"I am sorry for my tardiness had to take care of some extra papers."
"There is no problem Professor." Said Drake as he handed the bag to port.
"I take it that the wine mister Winchester spoke it is also here correct?"
"Of course, such an expensive bottle shouldn't be throw it away."
"Excellent, I will save it for a memorable occasion."
All 4 girls stood there watching what had happened and now were looking as Drake was having a friendly conversation.
Port looked at the 4 girls and said "Shouldn't you 4 be sleeping as well."
At that moment all 4 of them stood up and began to walk to their bags.
"Yang." Said Drake in a small voice as she turned to see that his finger was pointed at her.
"Oh." Exclaimed Yang knowing what he wanted, she took off his jacket and got close to hand it to him while giving him a kiss in the cheek, she looked at him expecting to see a blush or something but nothing "Thanks for the jacket in was really comfortable." Said Yang as she went to sleep.
"Very smooth young man." Said professor port to which Drake just gave him a confused look.
"Smooth? Anyway have a good night professor I better go and take some sleep tomorrow in gonna be a hard day."
"Indeed it will, sleep well young man." Said port as Drake and lambert began walking to his room while port saw him retreating from the ballroom with one thought 'someone really needs to have a talk with him about woman.'
While Drake had a different one 'I am so hungry'.
As soon as he reached his room he collapsed on his bed knowing that if he ate now wont be good for the night.
"Tomorrow is gonna be another long day I can just fell it." Those were his final thought as he fall sleep.
