Beacon Shenanigans
The New Batch of Students
Everyone at Beacon Academy was minding their own business that day. They were working out, (Yang,) they were playing video games, (Me and Goji,) And some were just fooling around and eating cookies. (Ruby.) Until at around 12:00 PM, when things got interesting. Over a loudspeaker, Ozpin shouted to any students,
"If you want to see the new batch of students coming in, get to the courtyard soon. Arriving in 15 minutes." Ozpin ended his little announcement.
"Wait-New students?" I shouted.
"We should see what's up!" Ruby added.
"I agree." Weiss added.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Goji shouted. We all got up, got our friends, and we all ran to the courtyard to see the new arrivals. Many students flooded the courtyard as well, but me, Goji, Team RWBY, JNPR, HLMT, Coco, Velvet, Night Raid, and others funneled through the crowd to see the new students. When the aircraft came up, we saw a few students, but none caught our eyes. But there were six in particular who came through that we took a liking to. At least, me and Goji did. The first was a girl who was a complete GIANT. Her height was at 7'3", and she good looking. She had a blue corset dress with armor tassets and shoulder armor plates. She also carried a silver pocket watch, and a bow in the back and tied to the front. When she came out of the aircraft, She looked to the crowd with a slight bit of nervousness, but then went all away when she motioned for them to get out of the way.
"Damn...She's a giant!" Goji remarked. Then there was some commortion among the croud as another emerged. This one was another female, She has beautiful sandy brown hair that reaches down to her shoulders. Fair skinned with some patches scaly skin that are pale creamy-white with pattern of black lines and flecks. Her arms have some scales that are dark with white spots including her feet. The most telling feature indicating her Faunus heritage is her long, tapering tail. It is yellow or cream with brown rosettes edged in dark brown on the back. She came out of the aircraft, and walked up to the crowd and greeted everyone with open arms.
"Hello, Everyone!" She spoke in an australian accent. "I'm Lizann!" Lizann introduced herself to everyone.
"Don't be so cheery, Lizann." The giant said.
"Oh come on, Alice! Don't be so dismissive of everyone!" Lizann said.
"I'm just a little skeptical." Alice responded.
"So we got Alice and Lizann...Okay..." I whispered. Another came out. This time, it was A young teenage girl with white rabbit ears and messy and wears glasses and a dress attire similar to Weiss Schnee, but with red color and the bolero being yellow. She carries a pocket watch with her.
"She's awfully similar to me in appearance..." Weiss whispered.
"So what?" I asked.
"Well, I'm just known for my combat skirt, my side ponytail, and what Ruby would describe me as...an...Ice Queen. Or Snow Angel, in Jaune and Neputne's eyes." Weiss explained.
"And this doesn't change anything. You're still the same old Weiss Schnee." I replied.
"But who is she?" Yang asked. The girl answered her question by saying to the crowd:
"Um...Hello, I'm Charlotte White." Charlotte answered very slowly, since she was very shy.
"Hmm...Okay...So we got the Giant, we got the lizard, we got the rabbit, and we got..." I was waiting for another person to come out.
Weiss pointed to the helicopter and saw another come out. This time, it was a young, scrawny teenager with a slick-looking black Victorian-styled suit with a red bolero with green rims, red cuffs and a green buttoned gentleman's shirt underneath. He would have black-checkered pants. His Victorian-styled Top Hat would be black and stylized with wing-shaped rims around it. Then there would be some sort of golden eye in the middle of the hat closed. He would have an ornamental yellow rose in his chest pocket.
"Oh, right. I totally forgot about Edgar. Come on!" Alice motioned for Edgar to move his butt over to them.
"Hold on, Alice!" Edgar picked up his cane and walked over to Alice, Charlotte, and Lizann.
"So...I guess we're huntresses now." Lizann remarked.
"...AND huntsmen." Edgar added to Lizann's statement.
"Right. We're huntresses and hunters now, Mate. " Lizann smiled. After those four came through the aircraft, the crowd started to go away, and we were the only ones left. The soon to be Team ALCE (Alice) Turned to face us.
"Um...Hello? What is it?" Alice asked.
"Well...hehe...um...It's just that you're-you're...you're huge!" Goji shouted, throwing his arms out.
"I guess I had a growth spurt?" Alice replied.
"She's a little skeptical right now. She didn't really want to go this line of work, and so...she's just a little...yeah. Skeptical." Lizann explained.
"I can tell. But still, DANG! Alice, you're freaking tall!" I shouted.
"She doesn't seem that tall when I start to grow into my dragon form, though." Yang pointed out.
"Well, of course, but still...I've never seen someone this tall before." I said.
"Well, get used to it." Alice said with a smile on her face.
"Charlotte, is it?" Weiss asked.
"Um...yes?" Charlotte replied.
"You seem like the type for formalities." Weiss said.
"Yeah...I'm just quite well mannered. My parents taught me well." Charlotte explained.
"I can tell. But I'm still a little skeptical." Weiss said.
"Uh, Weiss. You don't say that to someone as soon as you meet them. It's kinda rude." I said.
"But she's a faunus. And you know how I feel about faunus. No offense." Weiss directed her attention to Blake and Velvet.
"None taken." Blake and Velvet said.
"Um...But what's wrong with me?!" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah? Do you have a problem with her?" Alice butted in.
"Woah, Woah!" Weiss backed up a bit from Alice's towering figure.
"Okay...Yeah, I guess I should explain WHY she's so distasteful over faunus." I started to go into detail. After explaining for about a minute, they got the idea.
"I see...Well, I'm sorry about what happened to your father and your childhood." Alice said.
"Yeah, It's not right." Lizann added. Edgar was a little anxious.
"Edgar? Are you OK?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. As bright as day!" Edgar lied through his teeth. But his friends believed him. His old, and new, friends.
"Well...Now that's taken care of...Let's get you settled in." Ruby led the group out. However, there was a noise that came from the aircraft. Ruby stopped and turned her direction to the aircraft. It was a girl. Goji started to walk towards the aircraft, kinda scared on who it was. He had a idea in mind, but didn't want to believe it at first. The girl came out, carrying her weapons, boots that shoot dust bullets from the ends. She was wearing a modified, blue and yellow dance jacket with a blue hood and most of it unzipped to show off her stomach and her red top that exposes a bit of her cleavage. Her sleeves only cover her shoulders, triceps, and wrists leaving most of her skin exposed. She wears pants with some loose leggings that only partially cover her legs and are connected by a white belt. Goji now knew who it was. It was his old friend, Aria "Rainbow" Makaw. Goji's eyes widened and mouth dropped to the floor. When Aria came into the light, Goji and Aria locked eyes.
"Aria?! Oh my gosh! Is that you?!" Goji started to walk over to Aria.
"G-Goji?!" Aria stood in place. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"I have no idea." Yang replied. Aria and Goji then hugged each other. They haven't seen each other in over 5 years.
"Damn, Aria! I'd never thought I'd see you again! And here, of all places!" Goji shouted.
"Well, I decided to take up becoming a huntress, and I knew that you had come here, so, I thought, "why not?" Aria explained.
"Close friends?" I wondered.
"Maybe..." Blake said.
"Best guess we got." Jaune added.
"That. Is. AWESOME! We're boyfriend and girlfriend again!" Goji spit out.
"Oh..." We all finally realized what their relationship is.
"Um...dude!" Aria pointed to us, with our eyes slightly opened from the shock of what was going on between Aria and Goji.
"Care to explain?" I asked.
"Hehehe...It's kinda a long story..." Goji explained.
"Okay...Go on." Ruby actually sat down.
"It's kinda funny, actually. Because, we actually didn't start off...how would I say...we had a bit of a rocky start." Goji said.
"A rocky start?! A ROCKY START?! We were like...enemies!" Aria added.
"Keep going..." I requested.
"Well...not exactly enemies, but more like competitors." Goji explained. "We were kinda like trying to get ahead of each other. In whatever match our teacher would have us in, we were pretty evenly matched. We didn't have one advantage over each other. She kept kicking my ass, and I kept kicking her tail feathers." Goji explained.
"So you two went to the same school together?" I thought.
"Uh huh." Aria replied.
"And slowly over time, we got to know each other through our fights and outside those fights, and soon enough, we became friendly rivals." Goji explained.
"Interesting..." Weiss said.
"There was one time that in one of our bouts, I accidentally tore off two of her wing feathers that sent her on berserker rage against me. She destroyed me and I was thrown up into the air and I was pummeled with her helicopter kicks that left me in the infirmary for days." Goji remembered.
"That was one of those "Nasty" fights." Aria admitted.
"Yeah. It really hurt." Goji repeated.
"Remember, I'm really touchy about my feathers." Aria reminded Goji.
"Just like my hair." Yang added.
"Right." Goji added.
"She likes her hair?" Aria asked.
"Ooh, yeah." I said.
"But the big thing came when a little incident came into our lives. So...I saw a faunus being threatened by some bullies at my school, and I went in and tried to stop them. But they ended up beating me up. Until, thankfully, Aria came in and saved me." Goji said.
"Yeah. They didn't stand much of a chance." Aria said with confidence.
"Hehe...and when she scared the bullies off, she got the faunus out of danger, and patched me up. I still remember how it played out..."
"Thanks for saving me, Aria." Goji thanked Aria.
"No problem, man. This might sting." She put a rag on his face. It was supposed to stop the pain on his cheek.
"I have to wonder though...why? Why save me, your rival?" Goji asked.
"Cause' you're a friendly rival. We're friends. And you know what? You're pretty damn cute." Aria admitted to liking something about Goji.
"Uh..thanks?" Goji said
"Don't mention it." Aria replied.
"And our relationship spiraled from there." Goji explained.
"So you two were rivals for so long, and now you're boyfriend and girlfriend?" I asked.
"Yep." Goji said.
"Huh..Ok! C'mon, Aria! Let's show you around." I invited Aria over.
"Alright. Goji, this place better not suck." Aria said.
"Oh, it won't." Goji promised Aria.
"Good." Everyone started to walk back to the courtyard. I was staying behind the crowd. Then, I heard a loud THUNK coming behind me.
"Huh?" I turned around to see one more female student. She wear Blue jeans, was 6'0" tall, and wear a gray hoodie. Just like someone I know...Aileen. I started to walk towards the airship, to get a confirmation of who it was. The girl took out her oversized axe, and put it down in front of her. She had her hood up, covering her face. She took it off, showing a blonde, brown color eyed girl. It was Aileen. We locked eyes. We both were amazed we saw each other.
"A-A-Aileen?!" I shouted. The group turned around, and saw me and the girl standing near each other.
"Who is that?" Goji asked.
"Who knows?" Alice asked.
"Probably a close friend." Edgar hypothesized.
"A-Alex?!" Aileen shouted.
"Ooh...yep. Close friend." Edgar said.
"I-What-" I started to approach her. We were both speechless. I hugged her tight. She hugged me back. I shed a few tears. She was essentially a sister to me. I put my hand on her hair, that went all the way down to her back.
"I-I can't..."I was weeping as I was talking.
"Shh..." Aileen comforted me. We stayed still for a while until I got myself together.
"A-Aileen...Why are you here? I thought you were taking care of my parents?" I said.
"They're...gone..." Aileen gave me the sad truth.
"Wh-What?" I was shocked.
"They...died of age." Aileen said.
"Wha-WHEN?!" I shouted.
"Calm down...It was about...3 months ago." Aileen whispered.
"Uh..." I couldn't believe my own parents were dead. And I didn't even know it.
"Aileen..." I erupted. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" I shouted.
"Because it was so sudden...I didn't know what to do." Aileen said. I held my parents in high regard.
"You...Fuck!" I ran off to my dorm. I stormed past everybody.
"Mecha?!" Goji asked.
"Mecha?! Where you going?!" Yang asked.
"Uh oh.." Aileen whispered. Everyone turned to face Aileen. She then felt a little scared. Then, they were really angry.
"What happened?!" Everyone started to run over to Aileen.
"Uh, guys! I didn't do anything!" Aileen pleaded.
"SURE..." Yang's hair lit up and her eyes turned red.
"Oh...are you looking for a fight?!" Aileen picked up her oversized axe.
"Woah..." Everyone backed up, even Alice.
"Okay...Now...I don't want to use this, but I'll have to if you don't back up. Now...I didn't do anything to harm Alex." Aileen said.
"Alex...is crying right now..Why?" Goji growled.
"His parents died recently. He didn't know." Aileen explained.
"Oh...Really?" Yang said, now calmed down.
"Yeah. But if there's anyone who can talk to him, it's me." Aileen said.
"Oh really? And what makes you say that?" Weiss asked.
"We're close. And if you get in between us..." Aileen stopped herself.
"So you really care for him." Weiss figured.
"That's not important." Aileen avoided the topic and went to comfort me.
"Who is she?" Ruby asked.
In My Dorm...
Aileen finally found her way to my dorm. When she entered, she saw me, crying on my bed. I saw her, and I said:
"What do you want?" She closed the door. She also locked it. She wanted some privacy.
"I'm sorry about your parents dying." Aileen said.
"I'm not mad about them dying. I'm sad about that. I'm MAD that you didn't tell me!" I shouted.
"Well, I'm sorry." Aileen didn't know what else to say.
"Ugh..." I looked back down.
"At least I'm here." Aileen sat down with me.
"Yeah..." Aileen then hugged me.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you when it was really bad..." Aileen apologized.
"Aileen...I took you in. You don't need to owe me anything." I replied.
"But I do! Without you, I wouldn't be here." Aileen said.
"You're special to me. You're like the sister I never had. You don't owe me anything." I whispered.
"Alex..." Aileen started to tear up.
"Damn it!" I hugged Aileen tight. We both cried. Outside, the gang could hear what was going on. They didn't say anything.
"Anyway..." I started to stop crying. "So you're here because you graduated?" I asked.
"Yeah. I decided to attend Beacon Academy. So...Now I'm here!" Aileen explained.
"Well, you know...Goji and I have a open spot on our team. In fact, we have two. You can join." I offered.
"Uh, heck yeah!" Aileen shouted.
"Great!" I shouted. Goji whispered from across the door,
"Aria? Do you want to join?"
"Sure." Aria whispered.
In Ozpin's Office...
So you four are Alice..Lizann, Charlotte, and Edgar?" Ozpin looked at the new students.
"Yep." Lizann said.
"That's right." Charlotte responded.
"Correct." Edgar replied.
"Yes." Alice said.
"Well, then. You four are now...Team ALCE! (Alice) Led by...Alice! Congratulations!" Ozpin announced.
"And now them." Charlotte said. Goji, Aria, Aileen and I stepped forward.
"Ah, yes. You four. Two I know, but the other two I'm not familiar with." Ozpin said.
"I'm Aria."
"And I'm Aileen."
"And you are joining these two gentlemen?" Ozpin asked.
"I wouldn't call them gentlemen, but yes." Aileen said.
"Hey!" I nudged her on the shoulder.
"Well, then you four are now...and may I add, finally, Team MAGA. (Magma) Led by...Mecha. Congratulations!" Ozpin announced.
"Mecha?" Aileen asked.
"The name I took up when I came here. Or, the more accurate, Mechassault Man. But they call me Mecha.
"Like from Mechassault?" Aileen asked.
"Yes. The Video Game, Mechassault." I answered.
"Heh...it really is a great game in your eyes." Aileen said.
"Hey! You like it too!" I pointed a finger in Aileen's face.
"It is a good game." Aileen admitted.
"Good." I said.
"Anyway...We're finally a team!" Goji shouted.
"Yeah!" I high-fived Goji.
"Boys, I tell you." Aria remarked.
