Ok so that thing about not apologizing….
This time, I'm sorry.
I won't tell you what I did.
But trust me.
You'll see it when it comes up.
And I'm sorry about that.
So without further ado.
Beacon med bay-2 day's later
Silver wasn't sure how long she had been unconscious, all she could really remember were concerned murmurs and a LOT of explosions.
"Si-" a voice seemed to be calling to her, but she couldn't make it out."Sil-" it came again, the voice seemed to calling her name.
"Pablo is that you?" Silver called out, not seeing anything but complete darkness at the moment.
"Bitch do I look like a taco truck?" suddenly the world around her snapped into view, however it wasn't any landscape she remembered having seen before.
The silver haired faunas was surrounded by cross shaped tombstones….. No wait, were those PEOPLE impaled on the crosses?! Silver looked on in horror at the seemingly endless field of body's, the sky was as red as the blood covering the ground and the STENCH! Dear god's it was the worst smell of rot and decay that had ever pervaded her nose, the smell only worsened by her faunas senses.
"So are you gonna stare at my dinner of are you planning to say something?" Silver looked up to see a man standing before her. The guy was nearly as tall as that Gual fellow, although he seemed extremely thin. Hell if he hadn't spoken she would have thought he was one of the corpses. He wore black suit pants with a black vest, a large red leather coat sat on his shoulders and a similarly colored Victorian looking hat sat on his head.
"W-who are you mister?" Silver had finally found her voice again, although it came out as more of a squeak considering her current terror.
"Listen I was watching Adventure Time on Netflix so could we hurry this shit fest up? What you need to know is this, your semblance is being controlled by someone else, do NOT trust Ozpin, oh and your first heat is in two days. Have fun with that!" With this said the man, who highly resembled Ozzy Osbourne, began to vanish along with the world around them.
"What does he mean don't trust Ozp-….. wait heat?" that was Silvers last thought before she shot awake, smashing her head into something as she popped out of her bed. She tried to see where she was, but somebody had removed her glasses and the room was brightly lit up.
"Yo, you good sis?" She looked up to see yang hovering over her, only able to identify her by her familiar voice.
"Where are we?" Silver was looking around, trying to discern anything that might be visible to her horrible eyes. Yang saw her looking around and handed her sister her glasses.
"We are in beacons medical wing, you kind of went into a coma at the beginning of the initiation." Pablo's voice came from a bedside window, the light of day seeping in through the glass.
Silver was pretty sure the face she was making had been as exhausted as it could be, but she was certain it had just dropped even further. "so, I failed the test didn't I?"
"No, in fact you passed by a hairs breathe." Glynda Goodwitch had just walked into the room, her stern look a mask for the pity she felt for young Silver.
"Normally you would have been left to die out there, but not only did your partner carry you through hordes of grimm, he brought you all the way to the temple and back to beacon. Then again if we didn't keep you on the roster he would have been held back. After all, there were no other living students for him to pair with."
The little girl looked around the room, taking in the faces of her sisters, Pablo, Glynda, and there sitting at her bedside was the "partner" in question. Gual looked as exhausted as she felt, and a rather prominent blush crept onto her features as she realized he had probably stayed with her since she arrived at the hospital. She also realized he was unconscious, so that's what she had hit her head on.
"How long was I out?" she looked back up to Mrs. Goodwitch, trying to clear the rather….. intense thoughts of Gual from her mind. "NO! Bad mind, no dirty!" She thought to herself Her blush not escaping the elder woman's notice.
"Two days, classes start in an hour I recommend you not be late, today starts with ranged weapons training under professor Seras." At this Glynda handed Silver a sheet of paper. "your class schedule, Gual will lead you to your room and introduce you to your team, you can get to know all the other students later."
And then Silver was suddenly alone with the big guy, the only sign anybody had been in the room with them was the rose petals Ruby seemed to leave behind wherever she went. "So." Guals voice startled Silver, who had been trying to stand up. "I guess you can just follow me then."
She felt extremely bad, the husky tone of his voice confirming he hadn't slept for a while. Gual stretched his hand out to help her up….
And then they discovered that beacon's medical staff didn't bother to put clothes on heavily injured/comatose patients.
Gual's nose spewed out a fountain of blood.
Silver desperately snatched up her clothes which had been set at the base of her bed.
A Raven sat on the window sill, watching and laughing to itself as this all went down. "This is officially my new favorite show." She thought, looking at the embarrassed girl with modest interest. "I can't wait to see how it plays out…."
Beacon firing range- 1 hour later
Pablo stood with his team in a room that highly resembled a paintball arena, only with real guns and live ammo. On his right was his partner Natsu, who he had learned was the daughter of one of his father's friends Igneel Dragneel. on his left were the other two members of his team.
First was a girl who had black hair and blue eyes, the only thing's marking her as a warrior was the black atlas military cadet uniform that she wore, and the blade that sat at her side.
Her name was Kirito, and from what Pablo had learned so far she was VERY serious about being a huntress, although she joked around every now and then, so she wasn't completely dead weight in terms of everyday life.
Next to her was the final member of his team, Yumi. Yumi was very lanky and pale, sort of a taller male version of his cousin Silver, aside from the hot pink hair. Yumi was a rather….. eccentric person and spoke in what can only be described as the stereotypical gay-voice. He used no weapon, but his martial arts abilities put him (according to him at least) on par with a full-fledged huntsman.
Yumi also wore an atlas uniform, although his was white and he left the shirt off and had the jacket unbuttoned. Yumi and Kirito were apparently friends from their childhoods back in atlas, but had both moved to vale to attend beacon because Kirito's father had landed a job at the school, and Yumi decided to follow.
The meeting with these two hadn't been all that interesting; Pablo and Natsu had arrived at the temple without meeting any grimm and were already on their way back to beacon when they came across the ending of a fierce battle. Kirito was eating an apple and Yumi had been beating an Ursa to death with bare fists. The two groups simply walked back to beacon together, only meeting minor resistance on the way.
At the ushering in ceremony Ozpin announced him the leader of this band of misfits naming it team PNKY. The crowd cheered, yang laughed, and Pablo ended up shooting his father (who was also present and laughing his ass off) in the face. Pablo had nearly had a heart attack when Silver wasn't amongst the ushered in teams, but Oz had personally explained the situation.
Don't get him wrong he was happy Gual had saved her, but he severely disliked owing people favors.
Maybe he'd buy Gual a drink and call it even.
Currently Pablo, along with his team and all the other surviving students, were listening to their first period teacher (who for some reason was written down on the schedule as "big tittied police girl") give a lecture on guns.
Being a gun user Pablo understood every word, and concerningly he was drooling as much as Ruby was at the sound of guns and bullets being described in such detail. People probably thought he was staring at the teacher's rack though…
"Oy, you still conscious over there mr?" Pablo realized that the teacher was right in front of him, and had just asked a question. "Well well well, since you seem so interested, why don't you demonstrate to the class how to fire a gun ay?"
The teacher handed him a gun, it was a simple 12 caliber pistol, and pointed him at one of the many target's in the large room. Shrugging his shoulders he gladly complied, the eyes of all his classmates (except for Silvers team, who strangely hadn't arrived yet) he brought the weapon up, checked the safety, aimed….
And accidently filled it with his aura out of habit, causing the bullets inside to explode.
"FUCK!" that was about all he could say at the moment. The gun hadn't done much in terms of actual damage. His aura managed to keep him from sustaining more that minor burns and a few cuts…
But that still hurt damn it.
"Now I have seen plenty of people screw up wielding a gun, but you, you dun fucked up ." she deadpanned at her own words, double checking her list of students. "Well I'll be" she said, seemingly to herself than anyone else.
Qrow being the second ranking huntsman in the world, his name was kind of well known, which meant Pablo had to deal with people recognizing it a LOT. Thankfully though this particular person didn't seem to care TO much about it, because she simply continued. Although anybody who hadn't been staring because of the gun incident was looking directly at him now, excluding Ruby and Yang…. Who were laughing hysterically at him.
"Well would somebody, other than you Pablo, like to demonstrate how a gun works?" Seras pulled out another pistol, looking around at the faces of the students.
"Can I give it a try?" Kirito piped up from next to Pablo, reaching out and taking the gun from the teacher's hand.
"Now before we have another accident." Seras glared at Pablo, who had somehow pulled the sombrero over his body leaving nothing but the giant hat visible. "you do know how to use a gun right?"
As an answer Kirito unloaded the clip.
And every single shot went to the bullseye of the target, leaving only a single hole in the plywood structure.
The teacher nodded to the girl, taking the weapon from the girl. "Now class, THAT is what shooting a gun looks like. I realize that not all of you use ranged weaponry, but when in this line of work this is a necessary skill to learn. Some of you will stop after the basics, and in the future some will move on to very dangerous advanced techniques and skills. For now though I'd like you to all take a gun from the rack and show me what you can do."
Her simple speech done, the students of the class all picked up a pistol from the wall behind them. What followed was gun users like Ruby and Pablo (who after demonstrating extreme accuracy redeemed himself with ) were all put into and advanced class where they used heavy weapons. Then the novices (mainly Yumi who took more than an hour to turn off the safety) were put in a basic training course.
By the end of class Pablo and Ruby were drooling over the teachers personal sniper rifle, Yang was stuck in the ceiling, and Natsu was ranting about how her gun was making fun of her…..
The worlds next generation of hero's indeed.
At around the same time
"WILL YOU PLEASE WAKE UP!" Silver was currently trying to get her teammates out of bed. Ryoko was passed out, and Gual had followed suit the second a bed had come into view. Yoro, who had introduced himself, wasn't even bothering to help.
It was a lost cause.
"You may as well give up, the two of them haven't slept since orientation." Silver looked back at Yoro, raising an eyebrow at the news. "That's right." Ryuko stayed up with you too, she only came back to the room a few minutes before you did."
Silver looked at her sleeping form with a new respect. "well at least you had the sense to go to classes, im guessing you or Gual are the team leader?" she asked the boy, who was now packing up his bag for class.
"Guals our leader, deserves it too. Our team name is GYSR if you were wondering." Yoro explained.
Silver nodded in appreciation, but something about the name caught her attention. "I thought that the team name was based off of the members initials next to their partners, why is my S not next to Guals G?" silver asked, Yoro giving a similarly confused look.
"You know I was also wondering about that, maybe it was just to make the name fit better?" Yoro was looking at the floor in deep thought.
"Ya, with what I know of good old Oz I wouldn't doubt the he would-" Silver paused mid-sentence. "Don't trust Ozpin." That's what that guy from her dream had said right? She didn't want to believe that, but the dream felt so real that she couldn't help but consider the possibility that….
No, this was stupid, there's no way Oz would do anything to hurt her.
"What?" Yoro asked, looking up from the floor.
"Nothing, never mind. Let's just get to or next class, its dust training with Miss Goodwitch right?" Silver changed the subject, not wanting to spill what was on her thoughts; she just didn't know Yoro well enough to talk to him about something so private.
"Ok sure, but let those two sleep, they need it." Silver gave Yoro a nod, and with book bags in hand (along with weapons of course) the two walked down to their Dust/dealing class with the schools resident dust expert.
Same time-Ozpins office
"Glynda I believe it's time for your class, you better head down." The infamous professor took a sip from his seemingly endless coffee mug. "Just remember what I told you."
"Ozpin." Glynda began. "Is it really necessary to take so many precautions? Why not just tell her what she is and be done with it? That way we don't have to risk any more lives."
Ozpin sighed, butting his mug down on the table before him. "Silver will discover what she is soon enough, Alucard is the only one of her kind we've ever seen in all history, so I know he's made contact by now." They both shivered at the mention of Beacon academy's "janitor".
"Besides that's not what I'm worried about." Ozpin continued. "We can handle a few more blood packs diapering here and there if necessary, but it's her semblance that worries me."
Glynda nodded in total agreement. "Have we made headway in identifying the problem with that yet?"
Ozpin slumped down in his chair, showing the exhaustion few people ever saw from him. "All we know is that her semblance is a rare self-aware type, and that somehow its being manipulated by somebody else."
"I know that much sir." Glynda said, stepping toward an elevator. "but why is it that she turns into that… THING whenever this person tries to take over? Her semblance isn't a transformation type, so how is it possible?
Oz let out another sigh. "I just don't know Glynda. The only time ive heard of a semblace capable of directly powering up another person was Malef-. " He stopped there, a strange look overcoming his features.
"What is it?" Glynda was now in the elevator. "You don't think its Gual do you?"
Ozpin was now dialing a number on his scroll. "No no that's not it, besides his semblance is a wind type." The person on the other end of the line picked up. "I'm sorry to bother you but I need you to investigate the area were SS class huntsman Malefor was last seen."
"Not that I'm refusing but may I ask why?" Qrow's voice came from the scroll in Ozpins hand.
"I need you to find the body Qrow, please don't ask me why, if I'm wrong about this I'd rather nobody know what I'm thinking." With that Oz hung up the scroll and started opining up old files on his desk.
Glynda wanted to ask what he was thinking, but the elevator doors closed before she could get a word in. she decided to ask about it later, even if she wouldn't get a straight answer. The huntress went to press the button for floor 1, but noticed her hands were shaking.
One thought invaded her mind at that moment. That weird look on Ozpins face, she realized what it was now. It was the one emotion he never showed anybody, the one she had never even considered him capable of feeling. That look in his eye's….
Had that been fear?
Chapter end
Ok I realize the grammar in this chapter was a little lack luster, but if you have a bunch of tests and want to wring out a chapter feel free to give it a shot.
It was not fun.
My brain hurts.
I mean that physically.
Any of you who know Spyro might see where I'm going with this, so I'll be sure to throw a cluster f*ck of plot twists to insure you have fun reading the future chapters.
Wait Nora what are you eating over there?
"I don't know, I found it on the ground. It tastes like chocolate so its fine!"
Thump
Oh god why…. Can somebody get this crazy bitch a stretcher?
"DRESSES!"
DAMN IT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!
"PENIS!"
AAHHHHHHHHHHH!
