Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna. Three racers who will be brought together for one purpose, each have different independent goals, but all the same ultimate goal. To become the best racer in Remnant, but every great master begins in the same place, in class. And with the help of veteran ex-racer Yang Xiao Long to help them, what could go wrong.
Beacon academy, one week later
Ruby was amazed at how fast the week went by. Upon arriving she felt like she was in a dream. Cars and bikes everywhere. Ranging from exotic super cars to vintage muscles. She could name them all, but one caught her attention. A pure white, extremely aggressive looking super. It was one of the new Schnee prototypes, and she was dying to get a closer look. Before she was given a chance, an announcement rang out.
"Will all motorcycle racers report to the track for initiation"
Ruby groaned in disappointment, she'll get another chance for sure. But right now she was needed on the track. The car belonged none other then Weiss Schnee, however it wasn't the same car she used a week ago. Weiss had swapped the engine due to its complex design and because it would soon be replicated to sell with copies for the car. Now it housed the same engine as the 'Cryo', another super she had designed. Despite its downgrade the 'Blizzard' still outclassed the other cars she would race against. She had the car and will to win, she could also tell where others would place. A Kasai Kaze, would end up around fourth place. A Ironwood Steel, most likely in fifth. Weiss was getting board of judging the others she would go against. Shifting her attention to the sports category, on car got her attention, for its age, condition, and impracticality for its class. A vintage Ironwood Ebony, pure black, and looked as if it just rolled of the assembly line. A lone girl dressed in black with a bow was tuning the engine. Weiss could instantly tell she was a faunus and began loosing interest. To the right was a more, interesting car. A Thunder Static, the worlds first fully electric sports car capable of competing with its own class. While not known for its speed, it was known for is insane acceleration. It was light, small, and fairly cheap. Inside of it was a blonde who looked as if he had no idea what he was doing. Now she began having thoughts that her time here would be dull. Turning to look at the faunus girl once more, there was something about her, Weiss couldn't figure it out. She strolled off without looking back, while the faunus looked up to catch a glimpse at the heiress before returning to her work. Her name was Blake Belladonna, skilled street racer who knew her car like it was a part of her. Soon enough, the blonde parked next to her got out with a small air pump and hooked it up to his tires. After a long pause she knew he didn't know a thing about tuning a car. She could hear him talking to him self, something about his tire-pressure.
"Do you prefer response or grip," she asked the blonde without looking.
"Huh"
"Response or grip"
"Um"
"Raise the pressure if you want your car to be more responsive, don't raise it to much otherwise you'll have little to no grip"
"Thanks I guess"
"No problem," not long after she finished on her car and went to go view the race that was forming up. The motorcyclist took their slots one by one, a few stood out. One was an Asian looking boy in a dark green race suit, another was a girl who looked a year younger then her.
Meanwhile on the track Ruby did some final preparations before looking up. In what appeared to be a executive viewing box she saw her sister with four others, one she knew right away to be Ozpin, another was a woman with a thin build and mainly purple outfit, the fourth was a round man with a bushy mustache that made her laugh inside a bit, and the last was a very thin man with green hair and glasses.
"Racers," Ozpin began to speak,"you have spent you life practicing your form, improving every aspect of your vehicles, and adapting to any situation on the track. Her you will learn not only to trust in your car or bike, but will learn that these trait can only take you so far. You stand here today hoping that you will be able to learn here, to propel your expertise in any way. But may I remind you, slots are limited. Only four racers from each class will be able to attend our institution, it is up to you to prove that you are worthy to be here"
These words only filled Ruby and everyone else on the track on edge, only four of them will be able to stay. She would not let her self be one of the ones driving home. Within a few seconds the lights turned on and everyone mounted their bikes and put on their helmets, soon followed by the numerous cries of engines turning on. The light turned off and the first red reactivated and Ruby started to sing a tune.
"Red like roses"
The second red lit up.
"White is cold"
The last red turned on.
"Black the beast"
The yellow light flashed.
"Yellow beauty burns"
The green shined and was accompanied by a multitude of screeching tires, Ruby was the one of the first few to take off. Now stuck in the swarm of bikes, she had few opportunities to pull ahead least she wanted to start wrecking the others. Coming up on the first turn a great deal of red saw shined in her face. She carefully angled herself to better handle the curve. Finally exiting into a short strait another biker pulled ahead of her. She grew a bit angered at this. Then came another turn and she once more shifted her weight. Another racer pulled in front of her. Now she had enough, upon entering a long strip she lined her self up with the racer ahead of her. Slowly but surly she began to gain speed. Now right on his tail she pull off slightly to the side and zoomed past him, she had her tactic, and now her means to winning. She lined with another racer and did the same, over and over she weaved past everyone before finally arriving at the next turn. Now she needed to loose speed and fast if she wanted to make it. Hitting the brakes hard and keeping still so to not go of balance, she executed the turn flawlessly. Now she saw a familiar sight, tire marks that signified a crash. She kept her eyes fixated on the corner ahead, but her mind still told her what she didn't want to hear. Finally snapping out of it she heard a engine she could never mistake. Ren was on her tail and wasn't leaving any time soon. Now she had some real competition. With every turn they swapped positions. Now on the final lane they were neck and neck, both focused one thing and one thing alone. The white and black checkered line. Ruby wasn't going to settle with a close win and let off the gas to draft off of Ren. Now meters to the finish line, Ruby pulled off to the side and crossed at blinding speeds before driving into the pits.
"Gold"
Now all she could do was wait for the rest to finish. Surely enough they all came in one by one.
"Your results will be evaluated, in the meantime will all racers in the 'coupe' category take your positions," the woman who was in the judging box spoke, Ruby knew this was her chance to look at the mystery car she saw earlier. Ruby drove off to the garages. Upon arriving no one was there, she was surrounded by some of the most expensive cars in all of remnant. She saw the prototype she was obsessing over. She took in every detail. A massive wing hanging over the back, a low front end with a distinctive arrowhead shape that jointed the front wheels. Now she was next to the window looking in, a steering wheel that looked like it was from a F1 race car, the dashboard was covered with dials and buttons.
"What are you doing," a voice came from behind her, turning around Ruby saw a girl in a white race suit.
"Um, I'm sorry, I was just, uh, that car," Ruby was doing her best to explain the situation but to no avail.
"That is a prototype, not a simple production car, why are you even in here"
"I, um, just wanted a look"
"Well you got your look, are you done here"
"Well I, uh, I don't know"
"What do you mean you don't know"
"Can you two please take this somewhere else, I'm reading over here," another voice came from the other side of the garage.
"Who are you to talk to me like that," the girl in white shot back.
"No one to be that concerned with, just asking to you to yell somewhere else," the girl in white grew more angered.
"Hmph, this isn't over," the girl in white stormed out, leaving only Ruby and the mysterious other in the garage.
"Um, thanks," Ruby said to no one in particular, she was only greeted by the sound of a page turning. Soon enough she walked out as well. She was starting to get the feeling that her time her was not going to be as fun as she thought.
A/N time
So I said that I would explain the car, so here we go. Schnee motors are a blend of Ferrari and Lamorghini, Ironwood autos are the equivalent of Aston Martin (so Blake is driving an old DB5 [aka the old James Bond car]), Thunder is the equivalent to Tesla, and Kasai is Nissan here. So that's all summed up. Now that we're at Beacon now, things will only get better. Why you ask, that would be spoiling. But here just on clue, it involves one of our favorite womanizer for the show. I'll let you figure that out on your own. Grimlock King, out!
