Pov: Ryuki
Ruby and I were walking around the courtyard when we heard a loud noise come from the sky. I looked up to see a bunch of military aircrafts.
I tugged on Ruby's arm and pointed.
"Whoa…" Ruby said.
Pov change: Ozpin
"Ironwood clearly loves bring his work wherever he travels." Glynda said.
"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man… but yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." I said.
We heard a ping from the elevator.
"Come in." I said.
The doors opened and I saw our long time friend and ally, James Ironwood.
"Ozpin." He said.
"Hello general." I replied.
"Please drop the formalities," he extended his hand, which I shook, "it's been… far too long since we last met. Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."
"Oh James… I'll be outside." She said emotionlessly.
"Well, she hasn't change a bit." Ironwood said.
I walked over to my desk and sat down.
"So what in the world brings you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival." I said as I poured a cup of coffee and offered it to Ironwood.
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year. Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." He said.
I poured myself a cup of coffee.
"I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however a small fleet outside my window has me a bit concerned." I said.
"Well, concerned is what brought them here." Ironwood said.
"I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult."
"Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men." He said.
I sipped my coffee before setting it down.
"We are in a time of peace. This show of power is going to give off the wrong impression." I said.
"But if what Qrow said is true-"
"If what Qrow said is true, then we will take care of it tactfully. It's the Vytal Festival, a time to celebrate unity and peace. So I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent." I said.
"I'm just being cautious." Ironwood said.
"As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best huntsmen and huntresses we can." I said.
"Believe me, I am. But ask yourself, do you honestly think that your children can win a war? And what you sent me about the twins?"
"I hope that my students will never have to fight that war. As for the twins, we shall let them decide their own future." I said.
Pov change: Satoshi
I was reading a book about combat when I heard Ruby.
"Yang Xiao Long! Prepare your kingdom for battle." Ruby pointed.
"Bring it on!" Yang said.
"I deploy the atlesian fleet! Looks like I get to fly over your Ursai and attack your walls directly." She said.
"You fiend!" Yang replied.
"And since Atlas is part of Mantel, it'll only take my repair one turn." Ruby said.
Ryuki smiled as she patted Ruby on the back.
"Pretty sneaky sis, but you just activated my trap card! Giant nevermore! If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in half." Yang said.
"But if you roll a six or lower, the nevermore will turn on your own forces." Ruby said.
"That's a risk I'm willing to take." Yang said.
Yang grabbed the die and rolled… 9.
"Yeah!" Yang cheered.
I sighed and turned the page in my book.
"Nooooo!" Ruby cried. "My fearless soldiers!"
"Eh they were probably mostly androids anyways." Yang said.
"Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged…" Ruby said.
"Not until after I draw my my rewards. Which are double this round thanks to the mistral trade routes." Yang said.
"Bah!" Ruby yelped as she slammed her head on the table.
"What did you think Toshi?" Yang asked.
"It sounded like you did very well." I said.
I saw the book fly out of my hand and hit me in the head and I looked over to see Ryuki was glaring at me.
"You did a great job, Yang." I pecked Yang on the head.
"Thanks Ryuk." Yang said.
I felt my eye start to heat up again, so I decided to go get some sleep.
"Hey, I'm heading out." I said.
"Are you sure?" Yang asked.
I nodded.
"My eye's starting to hurt is all. I'm sure it's nothing." I said as I walked away from them.
I walked past Sun and Neptune as they began to walk into the library and started my journey to my room.
Halfway there though, I felt my eye begin to burn up again.
"Mr. Suni, are you alright?" I looked to see professor Goodwitch.
"Yes." I groaned as I held my eye.
"Mr. Suni, if you would please follow me." Goodwitch said.
Later
We walked into the headmaster's office and I sat down. A few minutes went by before Ozpin showed up and sat down.
"Hello there mr. Suni." Ozpin said.
"Hello." I said.
"Glynda informed me that your eye has been acting… strange." Ozpin said.
I felt my eye heat up before answering.
"It's fine…" I said.
"Satoshi, I can tell that it is hurting right now." Ozpin said.
I felt my eye.
"However, I do not think that it is a simple pain, I believe that it is your semblance beginning to show." Ozpin said.
"I don't have a semblance…" I said.
"Not one that you know of yet. And I can help you if you wish." Ozpin said.
Pov change: Ryuki
"Ugh we should have never let him play!" Yang said.
"You're just mad 'cause the new guy beat you! See, if you just attacked when I told you to, none of this would have happened." Ruby said.
'She is kinda right. It was obvious that he was going to use that trap card.' I said.
"See? Even Ryuki agrees!" Ruby said.
"Stop." Weiss said loudly.
We stopped and saw her pointing at Blake.
"Lately you have been quiet, antisocial, and moody!" Weiss said.
"Uh have you met Blake?"
"Which I get is kind of your thing, but you have been doing it more than usual! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, including team STRS, that you would let us know if something is wrong! SO BLAKE BELLADONNA! What is wrong?" Weiss suddenly appeared on a chair and pointed at Blake.
"I just… I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Blake said.
"You still thinking about Torchwick?" Ruby asked.
"Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing a thing about it!" Blake said.
"Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the huntsmen, I'm sure they can handle it." Yang said.
"Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do!" Blake said.
'Blake, one thing that is pretty obvious… we're just students.' I said.
"Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think that you're already to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells." Weiss said.
"Uh who?" Ruby asked.
"But let Ryuki and myself be the voice of reason again. We're students! We're not ready to handle this sort of situation!"
"Well yeah but-"
"We're not ready!" Weiss said.
"And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!" Blake said.
Ruby hopped to the center of the room and raised her hand.
"Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest huntresses to single-handedly take down a corrupt organization conspiring against the kingdom of Vale… say aye." Ruby said.
"Yes! I love it when you're feisty!" Yang said.
"Well I suppose it could be fun." Weiss
'I would love to.' I smiled.
"None of you said aye." Ruby said.
I pointed at my eye.
"Yay!" Ruby cheered.
"Lets hatch a plan." Blake said.
"Yeah!" Yang said.
"*gasp* I left my board game at the library!"
"We're doomed." Weiss said.
"I'll be right back!" Ruby said.
I turned to follow her out. When we ran around the corner, Ruby slammed into someone. I ran up and crouched down to see if she was okay.
"I'm so sorry." Ruby said.
"That's okay. Just… watch where you're going next time." A girl with emerald green hair said as she extended a hand.
Ruby politely grabbed it and got up.
"You three are from Mistral, shouldn't you guys be in the East wing?" Ruby asked.
"I guess we just got… turned around." A taller woman said as she walked up. When I saw her eyes, my eye starting to sting.
"Ryuki?" Ruby asked.
'I'm fine.' I said.
"Can you help us get there?" The green haired girl asked.
"Sure, the wing is just east of here." Ruby said.
"Thanks, maybe we will see each other again at some point." The taller woman said.
"Welcome to Beacon!" Ruby waved.
Whoever that was… I have a bad feeling about her.
Hope everyone enjoys this chapter.
