[Music Start – "This Will be the Day" RWBY Volume 1 OST - Performed by Casey Lee Williams]

As the theme starts to build up to the first lyrics, several words appeared in a black background, stating:

Dragon of Beacon presents

Shortly after, the words and the black background faded to show a figure with a red cape and hood on a cliffside with the full moon above the person; their cape billowing in the wind and as it did, the end of their cape had rose petals flying out of it. The next shot revealed the figure to be a girl who was wearing black and red clothing beneath the hood and was kneeling in front of a gravestone.

They see you as small and helpless
They see you as just a child

As the lyrics began, the girl soon looked up to see that behind the grave was a figure wearing a white hood and cape whose billowing cape was turning into rose petals at the end and another girl with long raven colored hair, wearing a white shirt underneath her simple blue Gi with a matching blue skirt. However it was soon revealed that there was no one underneath the white hood and cape as if there was a ghost while the girl in blue was merely transparent.

Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild

The white hood and cape then faded away into rose petals while the girl in blue simply disappeared, floating past the girl in the red hood who continued to look at where the figures were. The final shot showed that the moon was also turning into rose petals before the screen went white.

Prepare for your greatest moment

On the first "Prepare", the red-hooded girl then dashed across the screen in a blur leaving behind rose petals, which in turn revealed the title of the series.

Dragon Ball RWBYverse

Prepare for your finest hour

On the second "prepare", the title faded away to show Weiss, who was currently under a spotlight.

The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower

The scene quickly changed to show Blake on a tree branch somewhere in the Forest of Forever Fall. Moments later she vanished but in her place was a white outline of a mask very familiar to her; once more the scene changed to show Yang looking at an image on her scroll before she looks up in determination. She was then seen revving up her motorcycle, Bumblebee, doing a quick 180 and leaving in hurry as she does a wheelie, leaving behind tire smoke causing the screen to fade to white.

We are lightning

As the next set of lyrics begin, a Nevermore flies over an army of various Grimm before the scene changes again on the lyric "lightning" to reveal Roman Torchwick with a bunch of black suited henchmen behind him before the scene caught fire as it faded away.

Straying from the thunder

We go through the fire to reveal a woman in red dress whose face is hidden by shadows with her Amber eyes clearly visible; she was flanked by four silhouettes. One was a young man, another a young woman, while another was of a taller muscular man, and the last being another young woman with some kind of staff.

Miracles of ancient wonder

The scene changed once more to reveal that the first girl from earlier was Ruby who was currently flanked by Weiss, Blake, and Yang and all of them were surrounded by Grimm while a large sphere of darkness hovered above them.

This will be the day we've waited for

As the first part of the chorus begins, Ruby turned around before she moved to block some kind of attack; the sphere of darkness crashed down from above, causing a powerful shockwave and forcing Weiss, Blake and Yang to dodge and move toward Ruby. The four quickly recovered before the girl in the blue Gi joined them, revealing herself to be Manami Aoi, as she dropped down from above and dashed toward the incoming darkness with the four girls quickly joining her.

This will be the day we open up the door

The scene then changed once again, showing a large statue in the middle of a courtyard which depicts a Huntsman and Huntress with a young man with blonde hair wearing some armor looking up at the statue.

I don't wanna hear your absolution

The young man was soon revealed to be Jaune before a hand was then placed on his shoulder before he looked to his left to see Pyrrha.

Hope you're ready for a revolution

The scene reveals Ren and Nora standing next to him before it changed once again.

Welcome to a world of new solutions
Welcome to a world of bloody evolution

The next scene started to pan out to reveal Professors Ozpin and Goodwitch on the bow of a transport class airship joined by Manami Aoi who is leaning on the safety rail.

In time

The shot then fades to show a black background with Ruby and her red rose emblem behind her, followed by Weiss brandishing her rapier, Myrtenaster, with her elegant snowflake emblem behind her.

Your heart will open minds

Next was Blake preparing to unsheathe her weapon, Gambol Shroud, with her black flower emblem behind her.

A story will be told

She was quickly followed by Yang and her burning heart emblem, finishing off with Manami opening her eyes as she stops meditating with her emblem of a blue four-star dragon ball behind her.

And victory is in a simple soul

The scene changes one last time to show the entrance of Beacon Academy with Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch in front of the doors; the camera pans outward to Jaune sheepishly scratching his head, Pyrrha with her weapon Miló on her shoulder, Nora being her carefree self with Ren close by. Yang was shown to be standing confidently and winking, Blake on guard with her hand on the handle on Gambol Shroud, and Weiss standing with her hand on Myrtenaster's guard. The final shot is of Ruby twirling Crescent Rose and Manami twirling her sword, R-Blade, before slamming it into the ground fading into a black background; in between the two girls and their weapons was once again the title of the series before completely fading to black.

[Music End]

Chapter 3: Fated Gathering! The Shining Beacon.

Beacon Academy landing pad, Vale, Remnant, Universe 13, Age 853

The airship finally began its docking sequence at Beacon's landing pad; once docked the doors opened to let the occupants out. The first was the blonde knight, who finally found a trash can and puked his guts out into it. Meanwhile the three sisters walked out of the airship for several moments before stopping to admire the sight of Beacon.

"Wowwwwwwwww…" Yang and Ruby said in awe, while Manami admired the view in silence.

In front of them was a classical yet modern looking castle-like academy. Down the pathway they were on was a statue of a Huntsman and Huntress standing over a creature of Grimm. Surrounding the statue were several trees with red leaves; around all of it was large pond. All the way in the back was massive structures touching the skies including Beacon Tower.

"The view from Vale's got nothing on this!" Yang stated.

But Ruby wasn't paying attention; she was more interested in the people passing by, specifically what they were carrying; in other words, Ruby was gushing about people's weapons, chibi style.

"Ooh! Ooh! Sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!"

Yang grabbed Ruby's hood and pulled her closer to both her and Manami.

"Ow, Ow…" Ruby whined.

"So, I'm guessing Ruby's weapon fetish has gotten worse over the last four years?" Manami asked Yang quietly.

"You have no idea…" Yang deadpanned before talking to Ruby, "Take it easy, little sister. They're just weapons."

Ruby looked at Yang and corrected her, "Just weapons? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Ooh, they're so cool!"

"She's got a point Yang, about the 'extension of ourselves' part," Manami added.

Yang ignored that and said to Ruby, "Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"

Ruby promptly unfolded her weapon to its scythe form, hugged it, and said, "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people. But better."

Manami whispered to Yang, "Should I be worried?"

"Is that even a question?" Yang deadpanned once again before pulling Ruby's hood down and asked, "Ruby, come on, why don't you try making some friends of your own?"

"But why would I need friends when I have you two?" Ruby asked.

Before Manami could answer, people showed up behind Yang out of nowhere and Yang announced quickly as they raced away, "Well… Actually,myfriendsareherenow. Gottagocatchup. 'Kay,C'ya,Bye!"

This caused Ruby to spin and get dizzy. She shout-asked during her dizziness, "Wait! Where are you going? Aren't we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? …Do we have dorms?"

Ruby finally stopped spinning, fell backwards onto something, and said to no one in particular, "I don't know what I'm doing…"

White luggage flew everywhere and the person they belonged to shouted, "What are you doing!?

Ruby slowly picked herself up and said, "Sorry."

Manami witnessed this but decided to let it all play out.

The person who was yelling turned out to be a young girl, standing over Ruby, who is pale skinned with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara. A crooked scar runs vertically down her left eye. She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this she wears a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is an intricate snowflake emblem. She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back. The girl remarked harshly, "Sorry? Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?"

Ruby didn't know what to say, so she just began picking up the luggage to put it back but the white-haired girl grabbed it and yelled, "Gimme that!"

She opened the case and continued her rant, "This is Dust, mined and purified, from the Schnee Quarry."

Ruby was still picking herself off the ground and was still at loss for words, but the person ranting didn't let up as she grabbed a vial of Dust, closed the case, and waved the vial around, which spread a cloud of the substance to fill the air, "What are you, brain dead? Dust! Fire, Water, Lightning, energy!"

Ruby was now on her feet and unknowingly inhaled some of the volatile substance, showing the tell-tale signs that she was about to sneeze.

Manami noticed this and finally spoke up, "Uh… miss?"

The ranting girl ignored her and continued, "Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in?"

Manami tried again, "Miss?"

The girl ignored her once more and continued to lay into Ruby, letting one more cloud of Dust loose with a wave, "What do you have to say for yourself?"

Ruby's sinuses could not take it anymore and she sneezed into the cloud of dust, causing it to explode and unleashed fire, ice, and lightning. The vial of Dust flew through the air and landed next to a girl in mostly black clothing, who was reading a book. She picked it up, looked at the vial, heard someone shouting, and looked in the direction of the three girls.

"Unbelievable!" the white-clad girl shouted, "This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!

Ruby was twiddling her fingers and apologized, "I'm really, really sorry!"

"Ugh! You complete, dolt!" the snobby girl in white ranted once more, "What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"

"Well… I…" Ruby began.

Unfortunately the girl in white wasn't done, "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!"

At this point, Manami was getting pissed to the point where her veins were showing on her forehead; she finally stepped in and snapped, "That's enough out of you!"

The white-clad girl finally turned to Manami and irately said, "Butt out! This has nothing to do with you!"

Manami countered angrily, "It has everything to do with me! You were yelling at my sister non-stop, not even giving a chance to explain herself!"

"Your sister?" the girl asked in slight shock.

"Yes! My sister apologized to you, yet you ignored it and continued ranting about something that is barely relevant, while waving a loosely capped vial of Dust in her face!"

"Excuse me, I…"

"Shut up! I'm not finished! If you hadn't waved that vial around in the first place, I wouldn't be chewing your ass out for yelling at my sister about something that was also partially your fault! So, if I were you, I wouldn't place all of the blame on one person and accept responsibility, princess!" As if on cue, Manami's onyx eyes flashed teal for a second, something that unnerved the slightly ashamed white-clad girl.

Just then a voice corrected, "It's Heiress, actually."

All three girls turned to the direction of the voice to see a fair skinned young girl with amber eyes and long black hair. A ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head. She wears purple eyeshadow in catseye style. She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg. She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem, which depicts some kind of flower, is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair. She walked up to them with the Dust vial in hand, announcing who the girl in white is, "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."

The now named Weiss smiled arrogantly, instantly forgetting the lecture she received, and stated, "Finally, some recognition!"

The girl in black continued, "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners."

Weiss was now fuming with anger as she spoke, "What- How dare-! The nerve of-!"

Manami smirked at the burn and Ruby was chuckling at Weiss's reaction. Weiss finally had enough, grabbed the vial from the girl's hand, and stormed off.

Ruby yelled to Weiss, "I promise that I'll make this up to you!"

Weiss didn't hear it through her anger and kept walking.

"I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day," Ruby sighed, then turned to her to ask the name of the black-clad girl, but saw that she was also walking away. Manami however, felt something off about the girl; her Ki was similar to that of a human's but it felt a little more animalistic in nature... like the Ki signatures of a Faunus. Manami thought, "Could she be...?"

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a thud; Manami quickly turned to Ruby to see that she was lying on her back and hear her announce to no one in particular, "Welcome to Beacon…"

Just then, someone offered her a hand and greeted, "Hey…"

Ruby looked up to see a blonde knight who said, "I'm Jaune."

The young Rose took his hand, stood up and answered with her own name, "Ruby."

Upon closer inspection, Jaune is a tall teenage boy with dark-blue eyes that are emphasized by his short blonde hair messily layered on his head with the right side of his hair nearing his right eye and the left side swept back. He is quite toned, having strong muscles in his arms, shoulders and upper chest. He wears a white diamond-shaped chestplate cut off above his lower abdomen and white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Underneath the armor, he wears a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves. He also wears blue pants with a white patch on the left knee, as well as black sneakers with "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles. Jaune has elbow guards with cords strung through them and he wears black high tops. He has two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them. Jaune wears brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and small metal plates over the back. His sheathed sword is strapped to his left hip.

Jaune turned to the Saiyan girl and asked, "And you are?"

Manami answered, "Manami, but my friends and family call me Ana."

Ruby thought for a second before saying, "Hey, aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship."

"Ugh… don't remind me," Jaune sighed.

Ruby and Jaune started walking toward the academy; they took several steps before Ruby noticed that Manami wasn't following. She turned around and asked, "Aren't you coming, Ana?"

Manami smiled to Ruby and said, "You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up!"

Jaune and Ruby shrugged and left her behind for reasons unknown. Manami however sighed and fell into deep thought remembering her conversation with the headmaster of Beacon a week ago…

A memory of a voice announced, "But, there is someone who would like to meet you."

Flashback: One week ago, VPD interrogation room, Vale, Remnant

The blonde interrogator, now known as Glynda Goodwitch, stepped aside to allow a silver-haired man to step inside the interrogation room where Manami was being questioned; upon further inspection, he was wearing glasses, a black suit with a green shirt, and holding a coffee mug and a cane.

The man announced, "Manami Aoi… you've grown so much for a dead girl…"

Manami remarked, "Well, I wasn't really dead, just missing."

"I see," the man said before asking, "Well then, where did you learn how to do this?

He gestured to the Datapad in front of Manami, which was still playing a video loop of her decimating the Super Grimm.

"You wouldn't believe me If I told you," Manami answered as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Oh? Then would you mind telling me what this entails?" the male interrogator said whilst pulling up a recording of her explaining to her family about what happened to her in the past four years.

Shocked, Manami asked, "Where did you get that recording?"

The man smiled and said, "From a dusty old crow."

Manami was wide-eyed for a second as she realized what he meant before facepalming and muttered, "Damn it Uncle Qrow."

The man straightened himself before asking, "Now then can you clarify a few things for us?"

Manami sighed, "What do you wish to know?"

"How exactly are you able to do all of this? From vanishing to floating to vaporizing the Super Grimm with some kind of energy blast?"

"Everything I did was possible because I learned how to manipulate a power inside me known as Ki."

"Ki? What is that, exactly?"

"Ki is also known as life energy."

Both Glynda and the silver-haired man, was shocked to hear this; Glynda asked, "Wouldn't that shorten your life-span?"

Manami shook her head and said, "It regenerates after resting for a while; the only time it's dangerous is when you use too much at once, which can leave you vulnerable to a killing blow or, if you take too far, it can kill you."

"How powerful is Ki anyways?" the Glynda fired another question.

Manami simply says, "That depends on the person who is trained to use this power."

Realizing there's more to Ki than they originally thought the silver-haired man asked, "Can you explain the training to us? Maybe name some skills that can be obtained? Perhaps even give us a few examples of how powerful this ability is from your experience, maybe from a novice user to a master?"

Manami nodded, "After learning the basics of Ki control, you need to condition yourself to make your Ki more powerful; in simple terms, you need to wear training weights while doing even the simplest of motions."

Both interrogators understood this concept; the man motioned for Manami to continue.

Manami stated, "In addition to having enhanced capabilities, your senses can be tuned to detect the Ki signatures of other beings, even the soulless creatures of Grimm."

"How is that possible?" The silver-haired interrogator asked.

"While it's true that the Grimm lack souls, they are still alive in a sense and thus possess a form of life energy, Ki; their Ki signatures however will be radically different and will give you a sense of extreme sinister or malicious intent rather than the more neutral Ki signatures of Humans and Faunus," Manami explained.

"That is certainly enlightening," The man stated.

"This 'Ki sense' of yours must be extremely useful to have," Glynda added.

Manami nodded before announcing, "Your other question, however, is partially irrelevant to how powerful the ability to manipulate Ki is."

Glynda asked, "How so?"

Manami answered, "The ranks for Ki users correlate to that of a martial artist. The more they learn, the more powerful the Ki user is. However even if you have all the knowledge for Ki control, you're limited to the amount of Ki in your body."

"What are trying to say?" The male interrogator asked.

"I'm saying that the question you should be asking is 'What is the potential of a Ki user?' And the answer to that question, and I wish I was joking about this, is that the potential of a Ki user is practically limitless."

Both were now shocked; Glynda asked, "Can you clarify that a little more?"

"Yes, but don't interrupt me when I do, please," Manami sighed.

Both interrogators nodded.

"A Ki user can destroy thick walls of any kind of material, or at the very least, punch a hole in said wall with a Ki Blast to start, ramp up their training a bit and they can destroy a large building or a chunk of a mountain. From there, a lengthy training period will give the power to easily level a large city, possibly even entire mountains. Train more, and you have a Ki user that can level entire countries with a weak Ki blast, but if they concentrate it with all of their power, well, say 'goodbye' to Remnant, because a Ki blast that powerful can destroy worlds. And yes, their power can keep growing further than that; I'd say more but you get the idea. After all, if you listened to the audio recording, I did face a destroyer god if you recall."

Both the silver-haired man and Glynda were visibly pale when the explanation was finished, the latter more so than the former.

The man shook off his shock and said, "Well then, moving on. Since we already know your background already, we just want ask a few more questions. All of them relating to the Super Saiyan transformation. But first can you give us a demonstration."

Manami nodded, "Like I told my family, I'll have to keep my power suppressed so you don't get overwhelmed and so I don't break anything just from transforming. I don't want the whole station to know about my power"

Like last time, she stood up away from all furnishings. She closed her eyes to concentrate on suppressing her power; when that was done, she tapped into her rage once more, an action which was barely visible to her interrogators. They noticed Manami's hair flashed back and forth between its natural raven color and golden blonde. Moments later, the golden aura of the transformation surrounded Manami once more; when she opened her eyes, they were teal instead of their usual onyx color.

"Impressive, you can actually feel and see the power you radiate, Miss Aoi," the silver-haired male commented.

Manami said as she dropped the form, "Ask your questions, I know you have at least three."

Glynda asked all of the questions, "What are the factors for achieving such a transformation? How powerful is it? And are there any levels beyond it? If so, what levels have you achieved?"

"I probably shouldn't tell them about Super Saiyan God and the levels beyond that, at least not yet," Manami thought before she said,"In that exact order, the three key factors are extreme rage, the pain of loss, and the need for power. That is all I will say for how to achieve it, because how I achieved the transformation myself is very personal."

They both nodded, "Fair enough."

Manami continued, "The transformation multiplies a Saiyan's power by fifty times. As for the levels beyond it, there are two more levels to the transformation that I could possibly obtain, 3 if I had a tail and if Remnant didn't have a broken moon; for simplicity's sake, they're called Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, the one that is currently not possible for me to obtain simply called Super Saiyan 4. The key factors to achieving 2 and 3 are the same as the first while Super Saiyan 4 requires total control over another transformation that is very dangerous, but as I said it isn't possible without a tail and with a broken moon. So far, I've only achieved the first and second levels."

"Thank you, Miss Aoi," said the man before asking, "Before I go, do you have any idea who I am?"

"If memory serves, you're Professor Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon Academy," Manami answered.

Ozpin nodded and said, "I have a proposition for an experienced warrior such as yourself. I'd like to hire you as a part time student counselor and T.A. for your combat class; you will be elevated to an honorary huntress for now and receive a smaller pay than what the full-time employees of Beacon until you graduate. Do you accept?"

Manami smiled, not at the thought of getting paid, but at the thought of helping the other students of Beacon while continuing her own education. She answered, "I accept."

Ozpin smiled and said, "You will still have to go through initiation, though for all intents and purposes, it's more of an exhibition for you and will be given a different task. For now, your task for when you first arrive at Beacon is to discreetly observe the students and how they act; most importantly, let no one know of your true role an 'initiate.' You will be given a list of students that are top priority. You will receive further instructions when the orientation ceremony is finished. Understood?"

Manami nodded in acknowledgment to Ozpin. However, everything began to fade away as she pulled herself from the memory and returned to the present reality…

Present Time: Beacon Academy grounds

Manami opened her eyes and sighed. After a few moments, she vanished and zipped toward the main hall at insanely fast speeds, so fast that the naked eye could not track any movement.

Beacon's Main Hall

Jaune and Ruby, finally arrive at the Main Hall for orientation and when they went inside, they found that it was packed. Ruby barely even moved several steps inside before she heard…

"Ruby! Over here!"

The young Rose looked in the direction of the voice to find Yang.

"I saved you a spot!" Yang called out as she waved.

Ruby turned to Jaune and stated, "Hey, I gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!"

She ran off just as Jaune yelled out, "Hey wait!"

Too late; seeing that Ruby's now with her sister, Jaune groaned, "Ugh great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?"

He walked off, oblivious to the fact that a redheaded girl was watching him. The girl had her red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet, and had vivid green eyes. She also wears light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her eyes. The girl had a top that consisted of two layers. The top layer was a light-brown, strapless top split divided vertically with some bronze patterns. It was quite stiff, maintaining its shape without support; this layer also had riveting or small, round embroidery on the sides, indicating heavy stitching. The bottom layer was a low bronze V-neck She wears an elastic, black, A-line miniskirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length drapery that wrapped around her skirt. She also had armor. She had elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots, as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. She was also equipped with a bronze bracer capable of connecting with Akoúo̱ atop the sleeve on her left arm. Her high-heeled boots were brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves and reaching up to mid-calf.

Anyways, Yang and Ruby stood in silence before the former asked, "How's your first day going, little sister?"

Ruby scowled at the question immediately; she faced Yang and semi-screamed, "You mean since you ditched me and I exploded!?"

Slightly concerned, Yang commented, "Yikes. Meltdown already?"

Ruby angrily corrected her, "No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school… There was a fire… and I think some ice."

Yang grinned and asked, "Are you being sarcastic?"

"Ugh, I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage! And then she yelled at me! And then I sneezed. And then I exploded! And then she yelled again! And I felt really, really bad! And I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!" Ruby explained, but was so oblivious that she didn't realize that the very girl that she was talking about was right behind her.

"You!" Weiss yelled.

Ruby comically jumped into Yang's arms, bridal style, while Yang winced at what was happening. Ruby whined, "Oh god, it's happening again!"

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" Weiss finished.

With wide-eyes, Yang looked at her sister and stated, "Oh my god, you really exploded."

As Ruby climbed back down from her sister's arms, she explained, "It was an accident! It was an accident!"

Weiss simply took out a pamphlet that was labeled Dust for Dummies and other Inadequate Individuals and shoved it into Ruby's face.

"What's this?" Ruby asked.

Weiss simply stated, "The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company Product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to Dust application and practice in the field."

This all simply sounded like rapid-fire gibberish to Ruby, who could only manage to utter, "Uhhh…"

"You really want to start making things up to me?" Weiss asked.

Ruby answered nervously, "Absolutely!"

Weiss shoved the pamphlet into Ruby's hands and said, "Read this and don't ever speak to me again."

Yang rubbed the back of her head and finally spoke up, "Look, it sounds like you two got off on the wrong foot! Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?"

"Yeah! Great idea, sis!" Ruby said slightly relieved, before turning to Weiss, extending her arm for a handshake and reintroducing herself, "Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Want to hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!"

The Heiress simply raised her arms and said in a mocking manner, "Yeah, and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys, like tall, blonde, and scraggly over there!"

Weiss point her thumb behind her, specifically at Jaune who took notice at what Weiss said.

The sarcasm flew over Ruby's head as she asked brightly, "Oh wow, really?"

Weiss frowned, blinked, and waited a full second, before answering, "No."

Suddenly, feedback ringing through the speakers caught everyone's attention. They all looked to the stage as the headmaster began the orientation ceremony, "I'll… keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy… in need of purpose, direction. 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."

Yang messed with her hair a bit as she, Weiss, and Ruby all look at each other curiously at Ozpin's speech. Ozpin walked away and it was Glynda's turn to speak, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed!"

Yang voiced everyone's thoughts, "He seemed kind of off. It's almost like he wasn't even there."

Jaune suddenly appeared beside the three, announcing to Weiss who facepalmed, "I'm a natural blonde you know!"

The doors finally opened and students started leaving to gather their belongings. Ignoring the "natural blonde," Weiss just followed the other students' examples.

However, Ruby looked around before asking, "Hey Yang, did you happen to see Ana?"

"No I thought she was with you," Yang answered.

"Oh well, I guess we'll see her at the ballroom for when we sleep," Ruby stated happily as she turned to leave, quickly followed by Yang.

Soon the whole Main Hall was empty, leaving Professors Goodwitch and Ozpin alone… almost.

"You can come out now!" Ozpin announced.

Manami floated down onto the stage right in front of them. Both professors were no longer surprised by the Saiyan's abilities.

Manami complimented, "Interesting speech professor, I believe as the saying goes, 'Truer words have never been spoken.'"

"Well said," remarked Ozpin, "What did think of our initiates thus far?"

The Saiyan gathered her thoughts before answering, "It's just as you predicted; each student on the top priority list has great potential, especially my sisters and Jaune, though the some are going to be tough to work with, like Ms. Schnee with her snobby attitude, Ms. Belladonna with her quiet demeanor, and Ms. Valkyrie with her hyperactive antics."

Ozpin nodded, "My thoughts exactly."

Ozpin turned to Professor Goodwitch and nodded; she returned the gesture, before facing Manami and stated, "Miss Aoi, your instructions now are to continue observing them, see if there's anything that you can note for future reference for when initiation is over. Stay out of sight, and report to Beacon cliffs at 9 am tomorrow in your combat gear, you will receive further instruction upon arrival."

Manami nodded and then vanished to complete her task. Nothing interesting happened that night however, other than seeing Jaune in a onesie, Yang and Ruby making one new friend out of Blake Belladonna, the girl in black… sort of, a fight between the siblings, and another argument with the Ice Queen. Manami watched this all happen from the comfort of the upper level of the ballroom. She was happy that Ruby was making new friends. As everyone fell asleep, Manami was the last one awake, thinking about two things. The first was about the Super Grimm she ran into three months back; why did the sinister power they radiated feel familiar? Then she thought about the sudden pit in her stomach; why did she feel like something bad was going to happen soon? For now, she couldn't dwell on it, she had a job to do and she could not be late in completing it…

A/N: Didn't see that one coming now did you guys? I know you guys are wondering "what does this mean for Manami's teammates? And why did you have the cliche about the main protagonist having 'a bad feeling?'" Well I think, you guys know the answer to that, well, more like at least half the answer. But if you want to know the whole answer to those questions and more, I suggest that you stay tuned! And remember, leave reviews of what you guys think so I can continue to improve my fanfic. Thanks in advance!
