Chapter 4: Beacon
Slowly, the three airships that carried all of the first year students and the returning students, reached Beacon's landing balconies and deposited the students off. As the students all filed out, two young men made for the exit quickly. One, the blonde one, headed for the nearest trashcan and left the content of his stomach there. The other, the one with pink hair, rushed to the front of the group, fell to the ground, and kissed it, followed by a over-dramatic "I LIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEE!".
"Natsu, could you possibly not make a scene everywhere… we… go…whoa" Yang said looking up at the view of Beacon. Beacon looked like a castle, or a fortress. High towers, buttresses, walls. It was truly a sight to behold, and both Lucy and Ruby agreed; at least, until Ruby caught sight of one of her fellow students walking around with their weapons practically on display for the weapon loving brunette. "The view from Vale's got nothin' on this!" Yang continued
"Oh, wow. Look at that!" Ruby exclaimed excitedly. "That guy has a collapsible staff. And she has a fire sword!" she ogled the different pieces of equipment, and started walking away to get a closer look. Maybe be able to hold one, or possibly get to take one apart and see how it ticks. That is until Yang grabbed her hood and dragged her back.
"Easy there little sister. They're just weapons," Yang said, pulling her away from pestering someone until they let her dismantle their weapon.
"Just weapons?" Ruby practically exclaimed at her sister's view of weapons. "They're an extension of ourselves. They're a part of us. Oohh they're so cool!"
"Well, why don't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked, prompting Ruby to draw her giant scythe and cuddle the deadly piece of equipment.
"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose," Ruby replied. "I just really like seeing new ones, it's like meeting new people, but better."
"Ruby, come on. Why don't you go try to make some friends of your own?" Yang encouraged, pulling Ruby's hood over her head playfully.
"Why would I need friends when I have you three?" Ruby said, gesturing toward a Natsu, still lying on the floor seemingly asleep, a Lucy, who seemed to have disappeared somewhere, and a Yang, who's friends just showed up now, and who need to catch up, and left in a flurry, causing Ruby to spin around and become dizzy. "Wait, where are you going? Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" the dizzy and confused Ruby asked her eldest sister who gave no response. "I don't know what I'm doing," Ruby gave off one more sad sigh before stepping back into a luggage cart full of luggage, effectively knocking everything over.
"What are you doing?" yelled a female voice at Ruby, who was just picking herself up from her tumble. The girl had snow-white hair, styled in an off-centered ponytail, and ice-blue eyes. She had an incredibly pale complexion, except for a crooked scar down her left eye. She wore a pale-blue, thigh-length dress, with a similarly colored bolero jacket over the dress. The inside of the bolero was red. She wore a necklace and hanging earrings, and at the base of her pony tail was a small tiara. Her feet were clad in white, heeled wedge boots that went to her mid-calf.
Sorry," Ruby apologized to the frightening girl in front of her.
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?" the icy gal demanded.
"Uuhhh," was poor Ruby's only response as she picked up one of the cases to try and amend the situation, but the other girl wasn't going to let her.
"Give me that!" she said, taking the case from Ruby's hand and opening it and taking a vial from inside. "This is Dust, mined and purified from the Schnee quarry."
"Uuhhh," was the confused Ruby's only response again before being interrupted again.
"What are you, brain dead?!" the older girl asked. Before she could continue, however, another presence appeared from behind the livid girl.
"Weiss, give it a rest, she meant no harm," The new person said. This person was a tall male, about the same height as Natsu, perhaps a bit taller, with spiky black colored hair. His eyes were dark blue, and matched his dark blue overcoat, which was white on the inside. Under said overcoat was a white t-shirt that was tight and made his muscles visible, and around his neck was a silver necklace which resembled a sword. He wore black pants and black boots. His complexion was darker than the girl but was still pretty pale. "It was just an accident."
"Hey! Don't yell at my little cousin!" Natsu yelled standing in front of Ruby having just woken up from all of the ruckus.
"Hey! You don't yell at my little sister, punk!" the other boy yelled back at Natsu.
"Don't you yell at me ya jerk!" Natsu focused his yelling at the black haired boy.
"Well you're the one who yelled first!"
"No I wasn't, you guys did!"
"What are you, b—"
"Grey!" "Nastu!" the two females of the group yelled at their respective relative. "Stop it!" hearing each other say the same thing at the same time, the two girls look at each other, one giving an icy stare, scaring the other into silence.
"Gees, what's the big deal anyway?" Natsu asked annoyed.
"She knock over a large supply of Dust, and in doing so, could have caused a lot of damage!" the white hair girl, Weiss, shrieked while pointing at Ruby accusingly.
"Is that all?" Natsu waves his hand nonchalantly and giving a "pffft".
"Are you both crazy? It's Dust! Fire, water, lightning, energy! This isn't something you can just throw around!" she yelled as she waved the vial she had in her hand around, letting out small clouds of the unstable Dust that floated around tickling Natsu's and Ruby's noses, while Grey let out a "Quit shaking that," that was completely ignored by his sister.
Once Weiss finished her rant, Natsu and Ruby sneezed at the same time, causing the unstable cloud to explode. The explosion caused the vial that was being shaken to fly from the girl's hand and land several feet away, next to the foot of another student, who stooped down to pick it up and look at the emblem printed on it. The Schnee Family crest.
"Unbelievable!" the ice themed girl screamed at the two cousins. "This is exactly what I was talking about."
"I'm really, REALLY, sorry," Ruby said timidly, poking her index fingers together repeatedly while Nastu stood there with a giant grin plastered on his face as he scratched the back of his head.
"You complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" Weiss continued to yell.
"Well… I'm—" Ruby started.
"And you," Weiss continued turning towards a still grinning Natsu, "Act your age! This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practicing. We're learning to fight monsters so… watch where you're going!"
"Hey, we said we were, princess!" Ruby said back having gathered her confidence back.
"It's heiress, actually," a female voice spoke up a little ways away from the arguing group, grabbing everyone's attention. The newcomer was a girl with long black hair, amber eyes with purple eye shadow, and a light complexion. She wore a black, buttoned vest with a coattail and a white sleeveless shirt underneath that exposed part of her midriff. She wore a pair of white shorts with a pair of stockings that fade from black to purple as they move down her legs, and on her feet was a pair of low-heel boots. Both of her arms were wrapped in black ribbons, but the left arm also wore a black, detached sleeve and a silver band. Around her neck was a scarf-like collar, on her back was a magnetic plate with her weapons on it, which looked like a sword, but had the potential to transform into anything, and on her head sat a large black bow. In her hand was the vial of dust that went flying from the explosion "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, in of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world, And, of course, Gray Schnee, the only male heir of the company."
"Finally, some recognition," Weiss said gloatingly.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners," the black haired girl continued.
"What… Uh… How dare…" the heiress stammered out as Ruby and Natsu hold back their giggles. Grey even let a grin break his stoic face at his sisters foundering. After an annoyed "humph", Weiss snatched the vial from the newcomer's hand and storming off. "Come on Gray, we're leaving." Grey decided it best to just follow her.
"I promise to make this up to you!" Ruby called after the retreating heiress while Schnee workers picked up the toppled luggage. "Guess I'm not the only one having a bad first day." She sighed, downcast for a second but cheering up just as quick for a chance to meet the black haired girl. "SO, what's your—" however her cheerfulness didn't last long seeing the retreating back of the black haired girls as she walked away. Ruby then fell to her knees then to her back, depressed; once more sighing: "Welcome to Beacon."
"She smelt weird," the voice of Natsu broke into Ruby's sad thoughts. Peeking open an eye, she saw Natsu standing over her offering a hand to help her up.
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked, accepting the offer and easily being lifted up by Natsu.
"She smells…" he took a moment like he was trying to sort his though or recall something. "weird," was the only word he gave.
"Hmm," Ruby shrugged, thinking nothing of it. "Let's go Natsu." Ruby said as she stated walking
"Go where?" asked Natsu following anyways.
"Not sure. We'll just… go where everyone else is going." She reasoned.
"Sounds like a plan!" Natsu shouted boisterously.

Hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't leave a review and let me know what you didn't like about it and I'll see what I can do. If you did still leave a review.

Nate- Yes please, I need to finish this outro. So, apologies for the wait, thank you for the read now on to the pairings. Hehehehe. Alphabetical order! Black will be paired with Sun. Don't complain. Erza will be paired with _ (It's been decided but it's a surprise). Grey will be paired with _ (Again it has been decided but it's a surprise [if you guess this one I will let you know though {unlike with Erza}]). Juane will be paired with drama hehehe. Lucy gets drama too lol. Natsu gets Yang, I think out of the six to eight comments I got concerning who should be paired with Natsu only one had a PyhraxNatsu ship, which I can definitely make work. Sorry Pyhra, you're also stuck with drama muahahahahahaha. Nora (going out of order but whatever) you're with Ren (most favorite pair of RWBY cannon characters [they will be cannon]). Last but not least is Ruby who will most likely (90% sure) will be paired with an OC of my own design (already have it planned out). So there're the pairs my good readers. If you have any problems, want to give me better ideas or want to guess Grey's special someone please leave a review, or even PM me, I respond to both.
*Loud bang in background*
