Well then, so far Recons night has been eventful. Without further ado, enjoy Chapter 3! :D
'I think I'm loosing brain cells..'
So far Recons trip back to this 'Beacon Academy' with Team RWBY was, pleasant. The young silver eyed girl was asking him questions non stop the during the trip back to the school. Each question ranged from where he was from, why he's wearing that hat all the time, and if she can hold his weapons. Recon looked out the window with his arms crossed, trying to ignore every question that he was assaulted with.
"Where are you from?"
"..."
"What does the flag mean on your uniform?"
"..."
"What kind of rounds does your sniper fire?"
"..."
"Why do you wear that hat and scarf all the time. It's not even cold."
'For the love of God..'
"Can I hold your sniper?"
'If she asks one more question...'
"Oooh, what does this this button do?"
Recon quickly turned his head and saw her holding his C4 detonator. He snatched it from her, giving an annoyed look. Next thing he wants is to be blown into space with his legs obliterated.
"Awwww," She whined, "I wanted to see what it does." Recon looked back out the window, placing the detonator back in his pouch. Without warning, a fragment of the nightmare he had flashed before his eyes, giving him a migraine. He squeezed his eyes shut trying to fight off the pain.
That dream, why was that day haunting him again. He promised himself that he will forget it for good, that he won't end up like that person his 'father' wanted him to be.
He sighed and slid down the wall, pulling the hat over his eyes as he began to fall asleep. Little did he know, a certain yellow eyed girl looked up from her book and gave him a concerned look.
Beacon
"Hello? Hellooooo?"
"Maybe we should slap him awake?"
"Yes Yang, we should slap awake an unknown alien from another planet that could possibly obliterate us on the spot."
"So, is that a yes?"
"OF COURSE NOT YOU DOLT!"
"Shhh, he's waking up."
Recon groaned as he lifted his hat up, only to see two big silver eyes staring at him.
"Hi!"
'Jesus Christ!'
Recon took a big intake of air as he nearly wet his pants. His eyes widened at how close Ruby was nearly was from his face. She backed away and shouted with a smile, "We're here!" Recon quickly re gained his composure, and stood up with his gear. He walked out the exit, and was welcomed by an impressive sight.
There was Beacon Academy, a massive school that taught the future hunters and huntresses of Remnant, it also reminded him of a medieval castle. Recon whistled, he was impressed. Yang smirked as she walked up to him.
"Looks cool right?" Recon looked at her and gave the 'No shit Sherlock' face. She chuckled and continued walking. 'He seems alright, even for an alien.' Yang thought to her self.
"Y'know I didn't hear you speak once, let alone introduce yourself." She told him. Recon simply took off his hat and smaked it at Yangs face; some of the sweat getting her.
"Aww sick!" She yelled in disgust, wiping her face trying to get rid of the sweat. She yelled, "What was that for?!" He pointed to the back of his hat.
'Read the name tag numbnuts.'
Yang squinted, trying to get a better look at the words imprinted on his hat. "R-Recon?" She turned to him. He smiled giving a thumbs up. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Recon!" She patted his back hard, almost causing him to quickly regained his footing and just stared at her with a dead panned face.
"Hehe, whoops?" She scratched the back of her head sheepishly. Recon snatched the hat from her hands and placed it back on his head. "Well, my name is Yang Xao Long! The one sneaking up behind you trying to take your weapon is my little sister, Ruby Rose."
Hearing this, Recon looked behind him and saw Ruby about to grab his pistol. He slapped her hand softly, earning a defeated look from Ruby.
"Hehe, anyways Snow Angel here is Weiss Schnee," Recon chuckled when he heard this, causing Weiss to glare at both Yang and Recon, "Finally, the one wearing the black bow is Blake Belladonna."
Blake didn't even take her eyes off the book. Team RWBY entered the academy with Recon trailing behind them. He looked around, admiring the inside. "I'll take him to the headmasters office," Ruby told them,"See you guys later!" Ruby waved goodbye while Recon did a small salute, they were off of the headmasters office.
In the elevator, both Ruby or Recon didn't say a word, causing the air around Ruby to feel awkward. She kept on glancing at the soldiers weapons, tempted to grab one of them, they looked so cool. "Soo, Recon right?" She said breaking the silence. He continued looking at the elevator doors without even acknowledging her. "You don't talk much, do you?"
Recon continued to stare at the doors. "Can you tell me why?" He squeezed his eyes shut after she asked that question. Ruby got nervous, thinking that she brought up a bad memory from his past, which she did.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-!" Her apology was cut off when Recon stuck a hand up, showing that it's okay. Ruby sighed, realizing that she may have started off the wrong foot between her friendship with Recon. He looked down at her, and felt bad for responding in a rude way.
Recon hated seeing a young girl who has a bright spirit look sad, but he smirked as a little something popped in his head. The elevator slowed to a halt, signaling that the ride up was over. The doors opened, revealing a big office with single desk at the end. Recon looked up and saw the gears of the clock working.
"Ah, there you are, Ruby."
Recon looked at the desk and saw a middle aged man with grey hair, wearing a black suit with shaded glasses. "And I see you brought a guest." He looked at Recon.
Recon walked up to the desk and shook the mans hand. "I am Professor Ozpin, head master of Beacon Academy," He introduced, "And you must be Recon." Recon nodded his head slowly. 'How the fuck does he know my name?' Ozpin turned back to Ruby. "You may go back to your dorm now, Ruby." She nodded in response, and walked back to the elevator.
"Psst."
Ruby looked back and saw an object flying towards her. She caught it with both her hands and saw that it was Recons M1911 with a sticky note attached. It read, "The weapons empty, have fun playing with it, BUT DON'T TINKER WITH IT!"
Ruby looked up with a smile big smile and ran to Recon, hugging him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you soo much!" He looked down with a smirk on his face and ruffled her hair up. She ran back to the elevator, laughing like a mad scientist and yelled, "ITS FINALLY MINE!" The elevator doors closed cutting off her mad laughter off.
"That was very kind of you, Mr. Recon." He turned back and saw Ozpin. "Knowing Ruby, she will stop at nothing to get her hands on any weapon she's never seen before." Ozpin chuckled along with Recon. "Have a seat." He gestured to the chair in front of the desk, which Recon gladly accepted.
"So, Mr. Recon," Ozpin sat on the chair in front him, putting his hands together, "Tell me a little about your self." Recon just sat there silently, rubbing the back of his head with an embarrassed look on his face.
"You have a speech problem?" Ozpin asked with an eyebrow raised. Recon nodded in response. "Hmmmm." Ozpin pressed a button under his desk activating a keyboard on Recons side. "There, we can communicate with each other like this." Ozpin explained. Recon nodded and place his hands on the keyboard.
"Now, who are you and what planet do you come from?" Ozpin asked. Recon began typing, "My name is Recon. I am part of the of the United States Marine Corps in the ongoing war of 2020. I come from Earth, a planet similar to yours." Ozpin nodded. He was very interested in this mans kind, and they are currently having an ongoing war.
"What is this War of 2020?" Recon stared at the keyboard for a few seconds, then continued typing, "The War of 2020 is an ongoing war between three superpower countries: The United States, Russia, and China. It started six years after the War of 2014." Ozpin took a sip from his mug. His world must be plagued with evil. An evil far more sinister than the forces of Grimm.
"Finally, why did you join the Marine Corps?" Recon closed his eyes as waves from his horrible past began to converge on him. "That question will be answered for another time Professor..." Ozpin nodded. "I understand, Mr. Recon." The room stayed silent for a moment.
"Sir, I myself have some questions to ask you." Ozpin looked at Recon and nodded.
"Where am I?" Ozpin read the question and leaned back in his chair.
"You are in the world of Remnant, inhabited by Humans, Faunus, and the dark forces known as the Grimm. The Beowolf that you fought was a Grimm." Recon leaned back in his chair, taking off his hat and began to stroke his brown hair. "Which I am very intrigued about."
Recon looked up in confusion.
"I've never seen such stealth without the use of your Semblance or any Dust weapons, and the impact that you survived without having an Aura." Recon was confused with those three words. "Professor, can you please explain what Dust, Aura, and Semblance is?"
Ozpin smirked.
He stood up and began his lecture. "Dust is a source of energy found here in the world of Remnant. Used in weapons, technology, and vehicles, it is what makes up our society today." Recon whistled. Who knew that they use one element to run their society today.
"Then there is our Aura, a manifestation in ones soul. It has both defensive purpose, and offensive purposes. When trained, your Aura becomes stronger, increasing your skill and strength." Recon was impressed with this worlds capabilities.
"Finally, there's our Semblance, a manifestation in ones personality. It gives us unique abilities. For example, Yang mostly focuses on strength, therefore when she uses her Semblance, each punch that she throws, grows stronger by the moment." Recon sat there with his mouth nearly on the floor.
This race is extraordinary, having superhuman powers that no human on Earth could posses. "You didn't use these abilities, and yet you defeated a Grimm. Which is very impressing if I do say so myself." Recon smiled a little under his scarf. "Therefore, I have a proposition for you." Recon leaned close to the desk.
"I'm all ears, Professor." He typed.
"How would you like to join Beacon to become a hunter?" Ozpin offered. Recons mind ran at break neck speed. Becoming a hunter to kill Grimm monsters, rather than killing humans, and it was also a chance for him to restart his life. Recon stood up from the chair and extended his hand for a shake. Ozpin smirked and accepted it.
"Welcome to Beacon."
So far, Recon liked this school a lot. Ozpin gave him a tour of the Library, the amphitheater, CCT, lecture hall, and the dining hall, which impressed him because of its size. Finally to end the tour, Ozpin was leading him to his dorm. Recon then began to think about the war back at his world.
'I wonder how everyone's doing without me, sure there are more recons fighting in the battlefield, but I wonder if they're having a search party going on to find me ..'
His thoughts were cut short as Ozpin stopped at a dorm room. He grabbed the door knob and twisted it. "Here is where you will be staying during your time here, Mr. Recon."
The room was decent. It had four beds, two on the left side and two on the right, and it had a bathroom with a built in shower.
"Recon," He turned around and saw Ozpin with a stern look on his face, "Come to Beacon Cliff tomorrow at 7:20 for your initiation, and be ready." Recon saluted, causing Ozpin to chuckle.
"Also, try to fix that wound on your shoulder." He walked out the door leaving Recon at peace. With Ozpin mentioning about the wound, Recon began to feel an itching sensation on his shoulder, bug ignored it and jumped on his bed, exhaling loudly.
'Maybe I should greet my neighbors.'
He stood up and walked out. Recon saw his neighbors door and was about to knock, but he was meet by a red projectile that bursted through the door causing him to fall. The door opened revealing a certain red haired girl holding an upgraded pistol. She looked down and her eyes widened, seeing Recon giving her the death stare.
'Ruby...'
"I'm so dead..."
The Emerald Forest
A shadow loomed over a sniper casing. The hand picked the casing up and began to analyze it. It grunted, flicking the casing back to the floor. "He was here." The shadow stood up, and looked at the dark forest ahead along with two others.
God forbid Ruby gets her hands on the MTAR-21 or the MG4 O_O
