Chapter 2: Assigned to a Team?!
A/N: Sorry guys for taking a while! I kinda was playing games (as usual) and I have been working on each chapter slowly. XD If you guys want to add me on steam or xbox, my names are my FanFiction name! :D (SOVIETxEAGLE) for those too lazy to check. It would be nice to hear suggestions or ideas from people, they might just get into the story. ;) (Notice the 'might'.) Anyways, for those with questions after this chapter, be sure to pm me and I'll clarify some things! Now without further adieu...
Devan entered Ozpin's office and felt a bit uncomfortable. Not knowing what was to come next, he did doubt him about his statement regarding his ship. "Please, have a seat." Ozpin motioned for Devan to sit in the chair in front of his desk. Once he sat down he looked over to Goodwitch, who was typing on her scroll as she looked over to take a quick peek at him before going back to her scroll.
"Maybe I should start with a proper greeting. Welcome to Beacon Academy..." Opzin extended his statement as he reached for Devan's hand to shake. "Devan Treynach." Devan reached out and shook Ozpin's hand with a firm grip. "I'm Professor Ozpin. I'd like to know more about how you got here, Mr. Treynach." He put his hands together and rested his chin on his fingers. "All right, but first, I'd like to know about what will happen to my ship, since I kinda crashed in the backyard of your school."
"Actually I think I can do something about that, Guardian." Ghost poked out from behind Devan and showed himself to Ozpin. "Ahh, I caught a quick glance of you earlier." Opzin said as he watched Ghost fly around Devan. "You saw me once, I do not like to appear around unknown humans. You seem trustworthy, considering you haven't shot at us." Ghost finished by landing in Devan's hand. "Guardian, I think I might be able to materialize the ship into your inventory, but It might take some time."
"Really? I didn't know you can hold things that large." Devan stated slowly, thinking something that big would be able to fit into a small, tight space. "I can, but the larger the object, the longer it takes to store it" Ozpin was listening into the conversation. "How long do you plan on staying here, Mr. Treynach?" Ozpin asked as he raised his coffee to drink. "My ship has an object that allows me...to travel extreme distances within a short period of time. It's called a Warp Drive. I planned on using it to get back to my planet, but it malfunctioned, and brought me here. So, until I can get that fixed..." Ozpin made the determination easily. "So, you are stuck here."
"Well, I can't put it any other way. Yeah, I'm stuck here." Devan sighed. Ozpin nodded and started to type on his desk, which was like a large scroll, just compact. Devan watched as he continued, but Ozpin asked, "Can you tell me how you became a...Guardian you say you are?" Devan looked at Ghost, who looked back at him, and then nodded. "Well it's a loooong story..."
Devan began to explain everything. He talked about how be was brought into the war at 14 years old for his excellent marksmanship, how he was fighting against the Fallen until they shot him in the back while they had him pinned on the ground. He explained how he felt like his death only lasted about 5 seconds, and he saw nothing but black. He talked about the Traveler and how it had an enemy: The Darkness. "Interesting...please do go on." Ozpin felt intrigued about his story, but one person, wasn't. Goodwitch was listening to him as long as Ozpin and she didn't like the idea of how he was brought back to life from a small robot. He talked about the Traveler and how it had an enemy: The Darkness.
"Let me stop you right there, Mr. Treynach. How exactly were you brought back from there very edge of death? Clearly that's impossible." She stated from next to Ozpin. "I can prove it. Watch this." Ghost said as he highlighted Ozpin's desk with a small blue light. What began was a small recording projected from Ghost's eye. Showing everything, from Devan's dead body to how he revived him. "I can also heal his wounds, but I can't fix broken bones as fast. He was been wounded many times during the last 2 years I've been with him." He looked over at Devan, and Devan smiled as he nodded.
"How old are you, Mr. Treynach?" Ozpin asked once he stopped typing. "I just turned 18 a week ago." "Hmm..." Ozpin type a few more things and then stopped once again. "Mr. Treynach. I'd like to ask you a question." Devan looked up. "Shoot."
"How would you like to attend Beacon Academy?" Devan tilted his head then laughed. "Surely you can't be serious. I crashed into your planet, met a complete stranger, and now he wants to enroll me into his school? For what purpose?"
"I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley...this school is for hunters and huntresses. A school to train the best of the best, Devan. And once they graduate from this academy, they defend the people of this world who cannot defend themselves. From what I've heard about you, you seem like you are an experienced soldier. But...I have to see how well you work with others. So I'm also going to put you on a team." Ozpin finished with a sip of his coffee.
"Sir, with all due respect...I don't think I should. I should be focusing on how to get out of here." Devan really did have no idea was he was going to do if he had to attend that school. He was thinking about how to repair his ship.
"Well, considering you have nowhere to go..." Devan thought about that. "Oh...yeah you're right. Well..." He thought hard about it. "You really don't have a choice."
Devan sighed. "Okay, you got me...but when can I go get my ship?" Ozpin handed him a scroll of his own. "Take this and go meet your team that is listed on the scroll. I think you'll like them." Ozpin smiled as stood up.
"Guardian, we should go and get the ship after Professor Ozpin's request, seeing has you like to avoid people, maybe they can help with your small anti-social problem." Ghost suggested as Devan read the directions from Ozpin's office to where, as listed as "Team RWBY's" dorm room, was. "For the last time, I just have trust issues, Ghost. Ever since what happened to her, it's hard to trust people. It's something you can't really understand." Devan said after taking the last turn to Team RWBY's dorm.
"I remember Guardian, but you can't close yourself like that. If it's one thing I know after being with you for two years, is that you can be stubborn, cocky, a smart-ass, and you don't like taking orders that don't sound appealing to you." Ghost commented once they reached the door.
"I don't think, 'Killing your Best Friend' was the best option for that mission. So I handled it differently."
"Handled it differently? You didn't even follow through with the mission, she-"
"That's enough Ghost, I don't want to remember that. It's been too long, all right?" Devan narrowed his eyes as Ghost, who said out loud. "All right." Devan knocked on the door he currently stood in front of and waited a few seconds after hearing a 'coming!' from the other side. As to who opened the door, Devan's eyes widened once he saw a familiar face...
"Hey, you're that girl!" Devan raised his voice and took a step back once his eyes laid upon the small red hooded girl known as Ruby. "Oh, hey there! You're that guy who crashed out back!" Ruby mimicked Devan's voice and smiled. "What do you need?" She asked, seeing Devan's face contort after hearing that question. "Professor Ozpin assigned me to your team." He mumbled, loud enough for her to hear, but not the other girls inside.
"Really?!" Ruby felt excited once she heard that. "But, I thought there were only four to a team. We only have four beds too." She said.
"I think Professor Ozpin would bring another bed in, but seeing as I can't tell how big your room is, I wouldn't know." Devan grinned. "Oh, sorry. Come in." Ruby opened the door for him, allowing him to enter. Once Devan entered the room, he saw the other three girls from earlier.
"Ruby, what's he doing here?" Yang asked when she turned around from cleaning her weapons; Ember Celica. Devan noticed the yellow teamed girl wasn't exactly happy to see the guy who just crashed into the back of the school, in their dorm room. "He got assigned to our team. But I don't know why..." Ruby walked over and hopped up to her bed. Weiss knew Devan was there, but she didn't want to turn around to even ask any questions. She just wanted to hear the outcome of the conversation.
"I don't know why either. I have to get off this planet so I can return to my home, but I kinda can't right now...so for the time being, I'm attending the school." Blake looked over from her book to ask a question, "How long will you be staying here?" She asked. Devan sighed, as if he was annoying to giving so many answers. "My Guardian's time here won't be long, or so we hope it won't." Ghost popped out of nowhere in front of Blake, which caused her to recoil.
Weiss heard the other voice and looked to see what it was. "And just what are you?" She asked. "I believe I already answered one girl before, perhaps you were not present when I gave the answer. I'm a Ghost, let's leave it at that for now." He said before turning back to his Guardian. "Guardian, since we now know this location, we should go and retrieve the ship, and then return here."
"Sounds like a plan." Devan then turned to Weiss, and back to Ghost. "Let's go." And with that, they both left the room. "Wow, I've never seen anything like that before..." Blake announced to break the silence. "It seems pretty cool!" Ruby was really interested in the floating ball of metal. "I don't know, something seems fishy about that guy." Yang went back to cleaning her weapons before Weiss responded. "I'm with Yang on this one, I don't trust him. But for now, we should wait till he gets back, and ask some questions about him. I won't believe anything that he says unless he can provide proof." Weiss sat on her bed, pondering to herself of the new boy and why or how he got there.
"I agree." Blake said, book in her lap. "Something about him...is different from the rest of the people here."
