Okay, now it's time for my favorite chapter in the entirety of Part 1!


Team SAFR, Crystal and Cirocco were walking on the docs, and into the city of Vale. It was completely different from Mistral, with very different looking buildings. That's when a fellow student, Sun Wukong, Storm thought his name was, rushed past the team and a half. Behind them, a man shouted, "You no good stowaway!"

"Wait, did anyone know he was a on the ship?" Rusti asked.

"Sure, I helped him stow away," Crystal said.

"What?"

"Yeah, it was either that or Neptune would keep bugging me. Really, he has no idea how to talk to ladies," Crystal said.

"And you didn't know anything about it?" Rusti asked Cirocco.

"Hey, I don't associate with team SSSN; Scarlet really freaks me out," Cirocco replied.

"Finally, someone else who think she's creepy," Storm said.

"She? I though he was a he," Cirocco said.

"Welcome to being off topic," Rusti said.

"Don't quote that show; 'we'll break his legs' is too popular already, and we don't need another quote from that show floating around," Azura said.

"And finally, the zombie speaks," Rusti said.

"I'm warning you: if you keep quoting that show, I WILL break your legs," Azura said.

"Okay." Rusti's head seemed to sink between his shoulders.

"Anyway, what were we talking about?" Crystal asked.

"Wow, that welcoming comity is really dedicated; they're chasing Sun all the way..." Storm said. "Up. Now the white one ran into somebody." Storm began cracking up.

"Oh, now I know what you're talking about; I thought it was a… nah," Rusti said.

"And now they're just… talking," Storm said. "Wow, those are some wild gestures. I don't think that they're the welcoming comity."

"I hope they aren't; that's Weiss Schnee," Crystal said.

"How can you…" Rusti started.

"Consciousness projection for a semblance; it's really fun sometimes, but not when we're on a boat forever," Crystal said. While it was an exaggeration, it got the point across. "That reminds me, have you tried turning the bow into…"

"Armblades, yes, and it works. All I need now is to build it," Storm said.

"Anyway, let's get off this doc; my jacket's starting to smell like fish," Azura said. They all agreed, and walked into the city of Vale.

One from the group that Storm had mistaken for a welcoming comity had broken off, and went to greet the teams from Mistral. The one who was going to greet them was a girl dressed in a red and black dress with a hood, and looked a little young to be from Beacon. "Hello, I'm Ruby, and welcome to Vale," the girl said.

"Hello, Ruby, I'm Crystal," Crystal said. "And my comrades are Cirocco; Storm; Azura; Feather; and Rusti."

"Um, where's the rest of your team? Usually there are four members in a team, not three or six or…" Ruby said.

"Have you heard of the Haven shooting?" Azura said.

"Oh, you're team CCRE?" Ruby said.

"Well, what's left of it, yeah," Crystal said.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. We're all over it, right? Crystal seemed to want a response, but Storm didn't want to give one.

"It was scary; let's not talk about it," Rusti said. Rusti seemed to want to change the topic "So, are you going to an academy around here, Ruby?"

"Yep, I'm going to Beacon," Ruby said.

"Ha," Cirocco said.

"No, I'm really going to Beacon. My team's back there." Ruby pointed her thumb to the team behind her.

"Okay, um, they seem to be fighting over something," Crystal said. "Could I speak with the team leader? I might be able to help her break this up."

"You're talking to her," Ruby said.

"You're the team leader?" Cirocco said, not believing his ears.

"Yep, Ruby Rose; leader of team RWBY," Ruby said.

"I don't believe this." Cirocco started to crack up.

"You're being insensitive, Cirocco," Crystal said.

"Don't you know me? I'm always insensitive; which is why I don't have a girlfriend," Cirocco said.

"If we are going to continue having unnecessary delays, I will simply go straight to Beacon," Feather said, extending her mechanical wings.

"Oh! Do those wings fly?" Ruby said.

"Yes, they can," Feather said.

"What else can they do?" Ruby seemed extremely enthused about this.

"They turn into swords and the feathers shoot out like a Nevermore's," Feather said.

"Oh, cool."

"What is your weapon?" Feather asked. Suddenly, Ruby pulled out her weapon as it was transforming. When it finally stopped, it was in the form of a giant scythe!

"That's something I've never thought of," Storm said.

"What?" Ruby said.

"A scythe and what I assume is a sniper rifle?" Storm admired Ruby's weapon. "I'm a crazy weapons designer, don't mind me."

"A weapons designer?" Ruby said.

"Yeah, I just keep thinking up of crazy ideas for weapons, and sometimes building them." Storm hoped that was enough explanation. "You're scythe really reminds me of Bolt Breaker, my brother's weapon. I could only beat it with Titan; a very special weapon I built for taking on really dangerous opponents."

"What's Titan?" Ruby asked.

"Now that's a question that will only be answered if we duel in the tournament."

After a pause, Ruby spoke again. "How about you meet my team?"

"I would rather not," Feather said.

"How come?" Ruby asked.

"That is Weiss Schnee, is it not?" Feather said.

"Yeah, that's Weiss."

"Then I would rather not meet her. I am sorry." Feather proceeded soared up into the sky.

"What was that about?" Ruby asked.

"Feather's a Faunus; the Schnee family hasn't exactly been nice to Faunus. You get the idea," Crystal said. "You seem nice, though."

"Thanks," Ruby replied.

"So, who else is on your team?" Crystal asked.

Ruby turned around, and began pointing to her teammates. "You know Weiss. That's Blake, the one who's arguing with Weiss. And Yang, my sister."

Cirocco looked at Yang, and then looked back at Ruby. "You look nothing like your sister," Cirocco said.

"I know. It's complicated."

"Are you adopted?" Cirocco asked.

"No and neither is Yang."

"Okay, I'm not going to ask any more questions, because the answers just… confuse me even more." Cirocco then began wandering off.

"Where is he going?" Storm asked.

"I don't know. I'm his partner and I don't know," Crystal said.

"My guess is Beacon," Rusti said. "Hey, shouldn't we go to Beacon, too?"

"Good point, let's go," Storm said.


Okay, if you did not like that chapter, I don't see how. Anyway, see you on Thursday!
