The Creed of a Hunstman

Marcus Garcia

Marcus eventually went to the ampitheatre . As he went under arches, he could tell the place was packed with students. The speech was to begin soon, but he wondered where Yang and Ruby were.

"Yo! Marcus, over here!" Yang called out, waving her hand. Ruby was next to her, along with a white haired girl.

"Sup Yang?" he began as he stood by her side. "Who is that?"

That seemed to infuriate the girl. "Don't you know who I am?!" Marcus responded with a raised eyebrow. "I'm Weiss Schnee! Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company!"

"Ohhhh…" he responded. She was about to say something when Ozpin walked on the stage and tapped the microphone.

"I'll… keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and aquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst, and see wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction."

'Wow. Real subtle Ozzy Osbourne' Marcus quipped as the students began to whisper to others. They at least expected a,'Congratulations' or a,'Good Job!', not this… speech.

"You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

Ozpin stepped off the stage, in which Goodwitch stepped up to the mic.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." Goodwitch told them. The other students began to talk about what they said, others leaving to explore the place even more.

"He seemed kinda… off" Yang commented. Ruby nodded.

"Almost as if he wasn't even there" She added. Suddenly, the same blonde kid who threw up on the airship snuck up behind Weiss.

"I'm a natural blonde, you know?"

Marcus,Ballroom

Marcus didn't really need sleeping clothes. All he had to do was strip to his shirt,jeans and socks. Walking towards his bag, he saw Yang jump on hers and began talking to Ruby.

"It's like a big~~ slumber party!" Yang exclaimed.

"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though" Ruby responded.

"I know I do." Yang purred as she gazed upon all the shirtless boys, then licked her lips when she reached Marcus.

"See something you like?" Marcus teased.

"I don't know. Maybe you could take off that shirt and I could decide" She retaliated.

"Yang!" Ruby exclaimed, face beet red.

"Sorry Rosebud' Marcus sheepishly apologized. Suddenly, something caught Ruby's attention.

"That girl…" Ruby trailed off as she looked in the direction towards a black haired girl.

"Who? Blake?" Marcus asked.

"You know her?" they both asked.

"Yeah. I bumped into her while walking around campus" he answered.

"Well, Ruby, here's your chance to put it 2-1!" Yang said with cheer as she dragged Ruby by the collar.

"Wait, what are you doing?!" Ruby exclaimed as she was dragged along. Oh, Marcus would not miss this.

"Hellooooo~" Yang said in a sing song voice. "I believe you three may know each other"

"Hello Marcus" Blake said with a small smile on her lips. She turned towards Ruby. "Aren't you the girl that exploded?"

"Uh, yeah. My names Ruby. You can also call me Craterrr… actually you can just call me Ruby"

"Okay.." Blake replied

"What are you doing?" Yang whispered.

"I don't know, help me!" Ruby whispered back. It kinda reminded Marcus of a moment from Red vs Blue.

"So, how'd you meet Marcus?" Blake questioned.

"Oh, he's been living with us for two months!" Yang exclaimed as she pulled him closer into one of her bear hugs.

"Nice night don't you think?" Yang asked as she released Marcus, who was taking in air.

"Yes. Its lovely. Almost as lovely as this book…" she said as The three of them stared at her,"…That I will continue to read…" Still staring at her"…as soon as you leave" she concluded.

"Yeah, this girls a lost cause" Yang told Ruby.

"What's it about?" Ruby asked.

"Huh?" Blake looked puzzled.

"Your book. What's it about"

"It's about a man with two souls, each fighting over control over his body"

'Huh, sounds like me' Marcus thought about the voice in his head earlier.

"Yeah, that's real lovely…" Yang added.

"I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters. They're one of the reasons I wanted to become a Huntress"

"Why's that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" Blake asked

"Well, I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like the heroes in the books. Someone who fought for whats right and protected people who couldn't protect themselves" Ruby responded.

"That's very ambitious for a child. But the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale" Blake responded, taking a somber tone.

"Well… that's why we're here. To make things better" Ruby responded.

"Awww! I'm so proud of you!" Yang happily said and lifted her sister up, which led to a catfight, which Marcus backed out of, not before parting ways with Blake and taking a sleeping bag next to Yang. Five minutes later, he felt someone hug his arm. He looked down to find Yang hugging him close.

"Enjoying this,Yang?" Marcus teased.

"You bet" she said, snuggling close. Marcus rolled his eyes, smiling.

Marcus, dream

Marcus rarely ever dreamed. Even when he did, they were nightmare. But this felt… different to say the least. He looked down to find really tanned hands instead of his, and Native American boots. He saw a tomahawk with the Assassin logo on his hip. He was donned in Colonial Assassins robes.

'What the fuck? I'm Ratonhnhaké:ton?' he pondered.

He looked around and noticed he must've been in a harbor. The ship was a dead giveaway. He was followed by multiple members of the Sons of Liberty.

They were approaching the ship, but stopped as they saw Redcoats guarding the entrances

"Damn it! More guards!" Samuel Adams groaned.

"We need to turn the crowd's anger to our advantage" William stated.

"Say the word Connor and I will make it so!" Stephane said.

He was about to say something, when he woke.

Marcus, reality

Marcus shot up, chest heaving up and down, breathing heavily. How'd the hell did he have a dream about Connor? He hadn't been in the Animus… he thought.

"Hey, are you okay?" Yang groggily asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Go back to sleep" He reassured her. She rolled over and began to lightly snore. Marcus put his head down and closed his eyes and felt drowsiness take over him.
