Hey readers and back with another chapter of 'Another day in Remnant', I have more reviews to answer (Yay :D).
And before I get to reviews...HELL YEAH HOLIDAYS ARE STARTING, I'll try to write more if my games don't jump right in front of me and says "One of us, one of us" then we're good :D
frozenflames720: I get what you mean that my character is referenced to some characters, and to answer the shipping question, I am not making a harem type story :P, though I do intend to ship my OC with one of the members of team RWBY, just not at the moment, I'm still a beginner in this XD, watch out for hints though.
RWBYR3B0RN: Thanks for the words of encouragement, and I've already answered that question with frozenflames720 :D.
And so to the next chapter we go...
Beacon Skyport...
As I waited for the airship to land, I thought of what I have done today and yesterday. There's the fight with Torchwick, then the interrogation, although I was supposed to tell Ozpin and Glynda a bit of the world I lived in but probably save it for later, met Ruby and Yang, and now I'm here heading to Beacon.
As the airship lands and open its doors, the nicknamed 'Vomit Boy', rushes out with his hands covering his mouth, heading straight for the nearest bin to puke in, I felt sorry for him as I passed by him.
I walked with the sisters till we were in the courtyard of Beacon Academy.
The sisters stared in amazement at Beacon as I just stared in awe.
"The view from Vale cut nothin on this," Yang commented, crossing her arms.
"I can't say that you're wrong about that," I agreed.
"Sis, that kid's got a collapsable staff, *gasp*, she's got a fire sword- ow, owww..." Ruby goes all 'chibi-mode' on students' weapons and was about to follow them, not before being dragged back by the hood by her sister.
"Easy there little sister, they're just weapons," Yang told Ruby.
"JUST weapons?! They're an extension of ourselves, they're apart of us! Oh they're so cool."
"Weapons nerd much?" I teased Ruby which in turn, glared at me.
"Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon, aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked Ruby.
"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose, I just really like seeing new ones, it's like meeting new people, but better..." Ruby explain to us while transforming her Crescent Rose in its scythe form and hugging it before lowering it down.
"Ruby come on," Yang says, pulling Ruby's hood over her face, "why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?"
"But why would need friends when I have you and Ekuro?" Ruby asked, pulling her hood back up.
"We only just met Ruby and you already consider me as a friend?" I asked Ruby.
"Well...actually my friends are here now, gotta go catch up, bye!" Yang quickly said before rushing passed Ruby and I, along with her 'friends', causing Ruby to spin around as I sidestepped away from the crowd to avoid being spun around like Ruby.
"Wait where are you going? Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? I don't know what I'm doing," Ruby fired away questions while spinning around before tripping over some luggage.
"What are you doing?!" a girl in white appeared in front of Ruby.
She had long white hair in a ponytail but is off centre to the right, she also has a small tiara holding the ponytail in place, she wore a pale blue bolero jacket over her white dress, the bolero being red on the inside and white on the outside. Around her waist is a tied up ribbon and a small bag behind her back as well as a rapier with a revolving chamber inside the guard on her hip.
"Ugh, uh sorry," Ruby apologised.
"Sorry? Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?!"
"Uhh..." Ruby picked up a suitcase off the ground.
"Give me that!" the girl demanded, snatching the suitcase from Ruby before opening it.
"This is dust," the girl in white explained, holding a small jar of what I assumed was dust, on her hand, "mined and purified from the Schnee quarry."
"Uhh..." Ruby said, still not getting what she's saying.
"What are you, brain dead? Dust, fire, water, lightning, energy!" the girl said, closing the suitcase hard, blowing out a bit of dust powder.
The dust powder was blown into Ruby's direction, while she was standing up, she shows signs of sneezing.
"Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!" the girl continued to shake the small jar of dust at Ruby, further worsening the situation.
"Err, excuse me but could you stop shaking that jar before- oh shite-" I asked the girl in white before I realised Ruby was about to sneeze.
I push both Ruby and the girl away from the dust cloud, but by doing so, I got myself caught in the dust cloud. As Ruby sneezed, an explosion of elements went off, with me in it.
"*Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Oww..." I groaned on the ground in pain, covered in soot which slowly dissipated off me.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" the girl in white continued to yell at Ruby which I noticed Ruby poked her index fingers together out of embarrassment.
"I'm really, really sorry," Ruby apologised again.
"You complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"
"Well I-I-"
"This isn't your ordinary combat school, it's not just sparring and practice you know, we're here to fight monsters so...watch where you're going!" she scolded Ruby, looking away.
"Hey, I said I was sorry princess!"
"It's heiress actually," a girl in black appeared, holding the small jar that the girl in white was holding.
She has long, wavy black hair and wore a black bow on top of her head. She also wore black low-heeled boots and stockings, black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm, a black buttoned vest with coattails, and a white sleeveless undershirt that exposes a part of her midriff, white shorts with zippers on the front of each leg, and a detached scarf-like collar around her neck. She also has a sheath behind her and sticking out is what looked like a grip and magazine of a pistol.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the larges producers of energy propellent in the world," the girl in black explained.
"Finally some recognition," the now named Weiss, proudly boasted.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labour forces and questionable business partners," the girl in black bluntly explained right after Weiss' boast.
"Oooo burn," I said out loud, still on the ground in pain.
"Wha- how dare the- the nerve of-" Ruby was giggling while Weiss was just about to explode but just contained it, walked up the the girl in black, snatched the small jar from her hand and walked away from us.
"I promise that I'll make this up to you!" Ruby called out loud as Weiss walked away from us.
"*Sigh* I guess I'm not the only one having a rough for a stay," Ruby said to herself.
"Ya think?" I asked Ruby which she ignored.
"So what's-" Ruby asked, turning around to look to the girl in black only to see her walking away.
Ruby looks around to see no one around but me on the ground before collapsing on the floor next to me.
"Welcome to beacon," Ruby welcomed, looking at the sky.
"You too Ruby," I welcomed back.
As she was on the ground, I look around to see 'Vomit Boy' walking up to me and Ruby.
"Hey, I'm Jaune," the now named Jaune extended his hands to me and Ruby.
He had messy blonde hair and wore a white chest-plate and shoulder armour under his black hoodie with reddish-orange sleeves, and blue jeans.
Ruby got up to a sitting position.
"Ruby," she introduced herself as she grabbed Jaune's hand.
"Ekuro," I introduced myself before grabbing Jaune's wrist as he grabbed mine and helped Ruby and I up.
"Nice to meet you two," he replied.
When Ruby and I got up, Ruby started giggling a bit.
"Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?" Ruby asked Jaune.
Beacon courtyard...
Ruby, Jaune and I were currently walking around the courtyard talking about motion sickness.
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on," Jaune stated his fact to Ruby.
"Look I'm sorry, 'vomit boy' was the first thing that came to mind," Ruby apologetically said to Jaune.
"Oh yeah? What if I called you crater face?"
"Hey that explosion was an accident!"
"And I got my self into that explosion," I pointed out.
"Again I'm sorry," Ruby apologised to me.
"Well the name's Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it," Jaune introduced himself 'properly'.
"Do they?" Ruby and I asked in union.
"T-they will, well I- I hope they will, I mean my mom always says that- er never mind," Jaune dismissed what he just said.
"He he he err...so...I got this thing," Ruby said, retracing Crescent Rose out in her scythe form and impaling it to the ground.
"Woah! Is that a scythe?" Jaune asked, jumping back a little.
"It's also a customisable, high-impact, sniper-rifle," Ruby explained to Jaune, hefting up her scythe and held it by the charge handle.
"A-wha...?" Jaune asked, completely clueless.
Ruby then pulled back the charge handle of the scythe.
"It's also a gun."
"Oh, that's cool!" Jaune says.
"So what do you got?" Ruby asked Jaune.
"Oh uh...I-I got this sword," Jaune unsheathed the said sword and showed it to Ruby and I.
"Oooo!"
"Yeah I got a shield too," Jaune pulled out his sheath and it activates into a kite shield.
"So what do they do? Ruby asked, touching the shield, causing it to close on Jaune before he accidentally let go of his shield, caused it to pop in and out in its shield form and struggled to catch it before dropping it on the ground and picking it back up from the ground.
"T-the shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it I can just...put it away," Jaune explained to Ruby while putting away his shield in his sheath form and sheathed his sword.
"But...wouldn't it weigh the same?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah it does," Jaune answered dejectedly.
"So Ekuro, what's you have?" Ruby asked me.
"Oh um, I got these," I said, pulling out a black tube on my right hand and a silver tube on my left, both in its compact form.
"Uhh..." she stared at them awkwardly.
"I'm not done yet with Midnight and Eclipse," I said, rolling my eyes.
I press both of the handles' switches between the two prongs and both Midnight and Eclipse extended out their respective blades, Midnight's colour theme being black with silver trimmings on the blade edges, and Eclipse's colour theme being silver with black trimmings on the blade edges, before locking the blades in place with their prongs as slopped hand guards.
"Wow that's so cool, can I hold one of them?!" Ruby stared in awe.
"Umm...I'm not so sure about letting you hold it..." I was a bit skeptical with her holding one of my swords, knowing what would happen.
"Please?" Ruby pleaded, showing the puppy dog eyes to me. Why does it always work?!
"*Sigh* Alright, just be careful of Midnight's weight," I warned, referring to the black themed sword, as I handed Midnight to her stretched out hands, eyes sparkling.
As I let the handle of Midnight go onto Ruby's hands, she immediately fell to the ground with the sword handle in hand.
"Heavy...how can you hold this?" Ruby asked me, struggling to keep the sword up.
"What it can't be that heav- okay never mind," Jaune said, walking up to Ruby and tried to hold Midnight but gave up immediately.
"It isn't that heavy to me," I said, picking up Midnight from Ruby and putting it away.
"So what else do you have?" Ruby, eyes still retaining her sparkly-ness...if such a word exists...
"Well I have these," I said, unholstering my right pistol.
"This is called the FN Five-Seven, semi-automatic pistols. It uses 5.7x28mm rounds, holds twenty rounds in a magazine plus one in the camber, and has a effective range of 55 yards, although I can hit targets further than that," I explained to Ruby with detail.
"Anyways, that's about all I have," I said, holstering my pistols.
"Well, hehe, I'm kinda a dork when it comes to weapons, I guess I did go a little overboard in designing it," Ruby expressed to Jaune and I, hefting and caressing her scythe.
"Wait you made that?" Jaune asked.
"Of course, all students at Signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you make yours?"
"It's a hand-me-down, my great, great grandfather used it to fight in the war."
"Sounds like a family heirloom to me, well I like it. Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days," Ruby explained.
"Touché Ruby," I agreed.
"Yeah...the classics," Jaune said.
"So why'd you help us back there, in the courtyard?" Ruby then chose to ask.
"Eh, why not? My mom always says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet."
"Hm, hey where are we going?"
"Oh I don't know, I was following you...y-you think there might be a directory...maybe a food court, some sort of recognisable landmark...is err, is that a no?" Ruby snickering over Jaune's suggestion.
"That's a no," Ruby answered, smiling.
"Ruby, I like this guy already, he has his priority on food first, work later," I said, causing Ruby laugh before Jaune sheepishly joined in later.
Well that was a pain in the arse to do, BUT I have prevailed, and also THIS IS OVER 2000 words YAY!
So since holidays are coming in I'll be more active in writing this fanfiction...unless games get in the way.
So till next time in the next chapter...
