Glitch's P.O.V
"Noah...it's eight o'clock and we haven't found anyone of interest! Can we just give it a break and just see where the dice roll during initiation!" Kat said. I kindove agreed, the three of us have been walking around the school yards for hours just trying to find someone of interest, but we haven't had any luck, it was already starting to get dark as well. The most interesting one we saw was some guy from Vacuo that had some three barreled shotgun/ axe setup, but he was way to cocky and full of himself for our liking. I was tempted to call it quits and let the cards play themselves...but then we started to hear some chanting from around the corner. A familiar chanting at that.
"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" Multiple voices repeated from around the corner, the three of us sprinted to see the action...and who it was.
There were students surrounding whatever was going on, so many that we couldn't see what was going on yet.
"What do we do?" Kat questioned, Riley looked up and waited for a respond.
"Follow me." I simply said as I started walking through the crowd, using my size as an advantage. I simply just pushed everyone out of the way, constantly hearing words and phrases like 'freak' and 'you don't belong hear'. These phrases just kept seemed to get worse the closer we got to the front of the crowd. It wasn't long until we could make out who the fight was between.
The fight was between a Faunus boy who appeared to be a ram, a more rare species of faunus. He was dressed in a your average street clothes with a black hoodie with yellow lining. His armor definably fit the ranger class as it was just a light leather vest with some thin steel plating on his shoulders and thighs. His weapon on the other hand threw me off on his class as it appeared to be something that a tank class hunter would have. It was a belt fed machine gun whose barrel was encased in a large blade, giving it a great sword kind of look. The bullets had no ammo box but instead just wrapped around his arm starting from his wrist and going all the way up to his shoulder. He then had multiple other bullet belts wrapped around his waist. I guess he actually wore them like a belt. His head had large horns that curled in, signaling that he was a ram faunus.
Surrounding him where the same four boys who just couldn't seem to learn there lesson no matter how bad the ass beating, otherwise known as team CRDL. Whoever this boy was, he was highly outnumbered, but I couldn't say he was outgunned. Team CRDL's weapons really were basic and thoughtless. And unless I'm mistaken, I would say that none of them even have a second form, just a basic melee form. So honestly, my moneys on him.
"Should we help him?" Kat asked, Riley stood there and stared.
"Not sure, lets see how this plays out." I said, the insults just kept coming out of Team CRDL as the faunus boy just stood in the middle of them and waited for one of them to make a move. His eyes narrowing on what seemed to be all of them at once, he was very alert. I think everyone was now just waiting for someone to make a move. But finally, one of the team members of Team CRDL ran forward to attack, but the faunus was faster as he quickly switched his weapon over into greatsword form, I noticed that all the bullets from his weapon disengaged from the weapons chamber and he was now just holding the belt of bullets...and that's what he used to attack. Not the sword, not the gun, but the belt. He used it almost like a whip to strike the CRDL member, causing him to stutter back into the crowd surrounding the fight. the next CRDL team member to attack was none other than Carden himself. He lunged forward at the faunus with his over sized mace, but was also prevented from attacking when the faunus boy reached forward and grabbed the handle of the mace, letting his bullet whip wrap around his arm in the process, then jolted forward and head-butted Carden with his large horns. I guess that was one advantage of having horns.
"You see that?" Kat said.
"Yea...that's pretty impressive." I said.
"I like." Riley responded, his words muffled by his mask.
"You think we should help him out yet?" Kat asked.
I was going to say no, but then it occurred to me. This was going to be our new team member, and what better way to make an impression than to help get these guys off his ass, plus I can't say that I was ever really done with Carden myself.
"Yea, lets help." I said. "Kat you get the guy on the right, I'll get Carden, Riley get the one on the left. I assuming he'll get the other guy. Everyone good?"
"Got it." Kat said as she pulled Sun and Moon out of her back pack, one in gun form the other in sword form.
Riley just started laughing as he pulled Deadly Inferno off of his back, then switched it from rocket launcher mode into dual chainsaw mode. If we didn't have the crowds attention then, the buzzing of Deadly Inferno definably got everyone's attention.
"Good." I said as I put Earthshaker into hammer fist form. Then we all went to our targets.
I walked up to Carden and tapped his shoulder, he turned and his face went from excited to pissed in almost an instant. But then his face was met by Earthshaker, I loud cracking noise emitted from him, along with multiple noises of cringing from the crowd. I would say I just broke his nose, he was just lucky I didn't have the Earth Dust activated at the time, otherwise I may have fractured his skull.
I looked around and saw that Kat and Riley already dealt with there targets as they were just laying on the floor. Riley's target had multiple burn marks and scratch marks on his chest piece and was completely knocked out cold, as was Carden who currently had blood coming out of his nose, he really deserved it in my book, and probably a lot of other peoples books as well. I saw the final member of Team CRDL fly past me as I turned to figure out who the faunas boy was. I walked forward to meet him, but was instead greeted with a gun barrel.
"Hey, were all friends here." I said as Kat and Riley came to my sides, weapons still drawn.
"Then holster your weapons!" He yelled, his voice was your average guys voice, not extremely deep or high pitched. It was a bit raspy however.
"You heard him guys, weapons down." I said as I put Earthshaker back into travel mode. Kat put hers back in her bag, and Riley put his weapons from dual chainsaw mode back in to rocket launcher form, then on his back. I guess it really didn't have a travel mode.
"Now you." I said, pointing at his weapon.
His eyes narrowed on me, but then he twirled his weapon and bullet whip. The greatsword/ belt fed machine gun weapon somehow ended up on his back, and the bullet whip wrapped back around his arm and seemed to lock in place on his metal shoulder pads.
"What do you want?" He asked, his voice had a hint of suspicion...and I wouldn't blame him at the time.
"Well...we've been looking for a forth member for the team, but no one has really peeked our interest, until you. So, what do you say?
"You do know I'm a faunus...right?" He questioned, gesturing to his horns.
"Yea...that kindove obvious. But really don't care if your a faunus or not. Hell, I'm dating one." I said, gesturing to Kat. I was getting her back for teasing me about the semblance thing, she went to hit me in the shoulder to tease, but she just ended up hitting more armor plating.
"Really?" He questioned.
"Really..." Kat said, she sounded embarrassed but happy at the same time.
"So...what do ya think, initiation is in half an hour, and I can't say you want to end up on some random team. So, you want in?" I asked, Riley and Kat waited for an answer with me.
There was a brief silence as we let him think. The crowd was now gone, and Team CRDL was still unconscious at our feet. The boy looked at us and at the unconscious bodies at our feet, and he repeated this for a few minutes...then he stuck out his bullet-covered arm.
"I'm in, what's your guys names?" He asked.
I stuck my hand out to shake his. "I'm Noah."
"Kat." Kat said, also shaking his hand.
"Riley." Riley said, his voice still muffled by his mask.
"What's with him?" The boy questioned.
"He's a little off, still can't get him to take off that mask." I said, letting out a small chuckle, Riley thought it was a bit funnier than I did.
"Well then...that's creepy...I like it!" He said. "Names Michael."
"Nice to meet ya." Kat and I responded in unison, Riley just nodded, I could tell he was smiling under that one eyed mask though. We all continued talking, mainly about each others weapons, never heard Riley talk that much. Michaels weapon is called The Hilltopper, he calls it that because it reminds him of his Ram Faunus roots of living in higher elevations or mountains. It made sense in my mind.
"Attention all freshman students, please report to the cliff for initiation, you have twenty minutes to get there in your gear with weapons ready, good luck to you all." The female voice on the intercom said.
'Well guys, lets get going." I said as we all walked off to take our initiation, but none of us were ever prepared for anything like this.
