Speech: "The Start"
Thought: 'The Start'
Flashback: "The Start"
(Ruby POV)
'Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh! This is actually happening!' I thought to myself as I waited in front of the airship for my sister Yang.
'Beacon accademy, and a whole two years earlier! If this isn't the best day ever, I don't know what is!' I thought.
'Oh, Uncle Qrow is gonna be so proud of me!' I thought.
'What's taking Yang so long? I knew I should have waken her up earlier than usual.' I thought in frustration.
'I wonder who I'll meet at Beacon? I hope I'll be able to live up to Ozpin's expectations.' I thought.
'Though I do have to wonder, why did Ozpin let me in as early as he did?' I thought. I quickly shook my head, dismissing the thought.
'Meh, I'm sure that he'll tell me in the future. I can't wait to see all the different weapons that all of the other student's have!' I thought.
All of those weapons~
.
.
.
.
W-what?! No! I'm not drooling! You're drooling!
"Oh! Hey sis!" I heard Yang say from a distance.
"O-oh! H-hey, Yang." I said as I quickly wipe my mouth with my sleeve. Seeing this, Yang got a mischievous smirk on her face.
'Oh no.' I groaned internally.
"Were you drooling again?" She asked.
"N-no! I wasn't drooling! If anyone was drooling it was you!" I said as I pointed at her.
"There's no shame in it, sis. Everyone has there fetishes, yours just happens to be weapons." Yang said as she nudged my arm with her own.
"I-I don't have a weapon fetish!" I yelled, my face lighting up.
Whatever that is!
Seriously! I don't even know what a 'fetish' is, or why Yang keeps teasing me about it.
Though if dad scolds Yang every time she uses that word around me, then it can't be good.
It doesn't help whenever I ask either Yang or Dad, they'll either say they'll tell me when I'm older, or that I don't need to know...period.
I did try asking Qrow once, but his only response was to stare at me with a blank look before taking a long drink from his flask, and simply told me 'No'.
"Relax, sis. I'm just pulling your leg." Yang said as she lightly hit me on the back.
"I would still like to know what a fetish is." I said as I puffed my cheeks out.
"I'll tell you when you're older." Yang said.
You see what I mean?!
"So, what are you doing here anyway? Here to see your big sister one last goodbye before she goes to Beacon?" She asked.
"Not exactly." I said as I pulled out the certificate Ozpin gave me.
What was this certificate you ask?
Why, this is the certificate that tells me that I'm an official student of Beacon academy.
"What's this?" Yang asked as she took the piece of paper out of my hands.
.
.
"No." She said as her eye's widened.
"Yeah." I said as I nodded my head.
.
.
"Seriously?!" She asked as a grin began to form on her face.
"Uh huh!" I said.
.
.
"Oh my Oum! This is amazing!" Yang said as she brought me into a bear hug.
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is gonna be attending Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" Yang said.
Need! Air!
"Y-Yang! Choking! Not breathing!" I barely said.
"Sorry." Yang said sheepishly as she released her grip on me.
"Hey, are you gonna help me, or am I gonna have to do all of this myself?" I heard a familiar voice say. I turn to see a tall man with graying black, spiky hair, red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. With a red, tattered cloak, he wears a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
He also wore a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right fourth finger, and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant.
"UNCLE QROW!" I shouted as I ran towards him, causing him to drop whatever.
"Uncle Qrow! I haven't seen you in forever!" I said as I hugged his chest.
"You saw me yesterday." Qrow said as he started to pick up all of Yang's luggage.
"Really? It feels longer." I said.
"So, what are you doing here, pipsqueak?" He asked.
"Uncle Qrow! What did I say about calling me that?" I asked as puffed out my cheeks.
"Heh, heh, sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes." He said in between laughs. "Though seriously, what are you doing here?" Qrow asked.
"Yang, show him." I said. Yang nodded and handed Qrow the certificate.
.
.
.
.
"Good for you, pipsqueak." He said as he handed the certificate back to me.
"That's it?!" I shouted.
"Well, your mother got in a year early, so it's not really surprising that you got in." Qrow said.
"Still, I would have thought you would have been at least a little surprised." I said.
"Meh, when you've seen the thing's I've seen, nothing really surprises you anymore." He said. Before I could respond, Yang quickly calls me over.
"Ruby! The ships are about to leave! We need to go!" Yang shouted.
"Oh, u-um, I'll see you later Uncle Qrow! Wish me luck!" I said as I grabbed my bag and ran towards Yang.
"Hey!" Qrow called, stopping me in my tracks.
"What?" I asked.
"I'm proud of ya kid, your mother would be to." Qrow said.
.
.
"Thanks! I won't let you down!" I said as I ran towards the ship.
'I hope you're watching mom, I'm gonna make you the proudest mom in the history of proud mom's!' I thought.
(Weiss POV)
"Do you have your extra supply dresses?" Winter asked me through my scroll.
"Yes, Winter." I said into my scroll.
"Do you have your supply of dust?" She asked.
"They're right here, Winter." I said.
"Do your weapon?" Winter asked me.
"No, I left home without the ONE thing I need to actually get into the school." I said sarcastically.
.
.
.
"Oh my, I am so sorry Winter, I didn't mean to-." I said, only to be cut off by the sound of Winter chuckling.
"It's alright Weiss, if anything I'm glad your not being so formal with me anymore. We ARE siblings after all." Winter said.
"I know, but you graduated at the top of your class in Atlas academy, not to mention you're the lieutenant of the Atlas army. You deserve at least a little respect." I said.
"You shouldn't have to, you're my sister, not my subordinate." Winter said.
"Still, you turned down the position of heiress to the Schnee dust company, something I don't think I could ever do." I said.
"Just because I turned down a position of power does not mean that I am strong by any means. You have your dreams, and I have mine." She said.
"Speaking of which, why did you pick Beacon academy of all places? Why not a more advanced academy like Atlas?" Winter asked.
"Well, part of that reason was to escape father's control. He can't control me if I'm not within his reach." I said.
"I wouldn't get to comfortable, you and I know just how far father's reach is." She said.
"Well, Vale is the farthest I'll get from him. Vacuo has those miners that he sends every year or so, and Mistral and Atlas have had an alliance for nearly a century now." I said.
"Yes, I suppose you do have a point." Winter said.
"Besides, a friend of mine recommended this place to me." I said.
"Oh? It couldn't be that boy that accompanied you during last year's expedition, could it?" She asked.
"W-Winter!" I yelled, my face lighting up a bit.
Seriously! I've known him for one day! Then again, he's better than all of the other suitors that come to my door asking for my hand in marriage.
Hmm, now that I think about it, it would be amusing to see father's reaction to Brandon, his presence alone made the other nobles look at him in disgust, not to mention his clear lack of manners. Though he did bring a little excitement to the otherwise boring party.
.
.
.
.
I DEFIANTLY need to introduce him to father.
"I'm kidding." Winter said.
"Well, you're only half right. I was considering applying there, he just convinced me to actually go through with it." I said.
"Do you think you'll meet him at the academy?" Winter asked.
"Hopefully, it would be nice to see him again, give him my thanks for telling me about this academy." I said.
Maybe I can get him as a partner. He demonstrated clear experience in the art of the sword, not to mention his semblance is very useful, especially with my semblance.
"Weiss." Winter said, grabbing my attention.
"Yes?" I asked.
"The general has requested my presence, I have to go now." Winter said.
"Already?" I said, slightly disappointed.
"Well, duty calls." Winter said.
"Well, I wish you luck, sister." I said.
"Yes, when you are able too, tell me about the team you were assigned to." She said.
"I will, goodbye." I said.
"Goodbye, sister." Winter said as she hung up the phone.
"Ms. Schnee?" I heard one of my butlers ask from behind my door.
"Yes? Come in." I said.
"We'll be arriving at Beacon shortly." He said as he walked into the private lounge.
"Thank you, I'll be ready shortly." I said.
"Do you require any further services?" He asked.
"No, you are dismissed." I said. He bowed and walked out of the room. As I pulled out my weapon, Myrtenaster, I felt my scroll vibrate in my pocket. I pulled out my scroll, hoping it was Winter.
Unfortunately, it wasn't Winter, but instead, my father. I frowned and closed my scroll, cutting off his connection.
(Blake POV)
'How did I get here?' I thought to myself as I rode the airship leading towards Beacon.
'How did it come to this?' I asked.
'I was once a proud member of the White Fang, I truly believed what I was doing was right.' I thought.
'Now look at me, a traitor.' I thought.
'I'm a traitor to a cause I believed just, now I'm being hunted by the person I thought I could trust. He gave me everything, the ability fight, the strength to survive, and a purpose in life.' I thought.
'I can now see why Mom and Dad left, they saw what I couldn't see.' I thought.
'I wonder what they're going now? Mom's probably making tea for dad while he works in his office as leader of Menagerie, he's always been busy, even after he's stepped down as the leader of the White Fang.' I thought.
'Well, no use crying about it now. All I have to do is hide and hope that Adam or the White Fang never find me, and maybe after this whole thing has settled, I can return home, and apologize to Mom and Dad.' I thought to myself.
'I said some pretty horrible things to them, I called them cowards, traitors to their own kind. But in the end, they were right, they always were.' I thought to myself as I pulled out a letter from my pocket.
"Dear, Blake."
"How are you honey? We haven't really talked much these day's, ever since you left the White Fang. Though I'd imagine it be quite hard, hand written letter's were never really reliable, were they? Anyway's, what have you been up too? Your father and I have been doing well ourselves! Your father had just recently become the new Island Leader of Menagerie, though many of the White Fanged members representing Menagerie were against the idea. Your father has been busy all day and night, locking himself in his office and reading those books, I guess you inherited that from your father. As well as his ideal's, his moral's, his will to fight, and... oh you get the point. I've been doing what I can to help him out, both emotionally and physically, if you know what I mean."
'Don't think about it, do not think about it. Do. Not. Think. Abou-!' I thought to myself as I tried not to imagine what mom meant by 'physically'.
'Aaaaand that image is permanently burned in my brain.' I thought bitterly.
'Sometimes I wish I didn't share my mom's interest in a certain... genre of books.' I thought.
.
.
I-it's not smut! I prefer the use of... romantic novel.
A VERY descriptive romantic novel.
.
.
Moving on.
"I do wish that you would write back to us, but I understand that you are about to become a huntress in training, you're probably gonna be busy fighting off all the creatures of Grimm. Sweet heart, your father and I just want you to know, that no matter what path you decide to take, we will be there to support you, it's your life honey, better make the best of it. How's Ilia by the way? Last time I saw her, you two were talking about the newest edition of the "Ninja's of Love" series. And before you ask, yes, I did get the copies of the books in the mail, and while I do appreciate the offer, I appreciate the "Classics" of the genre. Though don't worry, I won't tell your father about your interest in romantic novels."
See?! She get's it!
As for Ilia, well...
.
.
.
.
Let's just say that we didn't exactly leave on the best of terms.
Now that I think about it, most of, if not all of the people I left behind at the White Fang didn't take my leave very well.
"Now before you go, I have a request for you. Please, come home, I don't care if it's just for a visit, just please, come home. Your father and I miss you. Seriously, your father REALLY misses you. The other day, he bought a black cat from the market on his way back from a meeting. Though, I can't really complain, this little thing is so adorable! She kinda reminds me of you from when you were little."
I clenched my free fist in guilt, biting my lip as I read the letter.
'Just...just wait a bit longer mom. I'll be home soon.' I thought.
"Well, I'm sure you're busy, so I won't take up to much of your time. Try to write back if you can!"
"Love, Kali Belladonna, your loving mother."
I sniffed before wiping a stray tear away from my eye.
'I'll make you guy's proud.' I thought.
"P.S: If you meet any cute boy's, tell me about them. I want to know all of the details.
'Mom!' I thought.
"From Ghira: Don't listen to your mother, you stay away from them!
'Dad!' I thought as I folded the letter back up and put it back into my pocket.
"Attention students. We will be arriving at Beacon academy shortly. Gather your belongings and prepare for landing." I heard someone say. I grabbed my suitcase and started to walk towards the exit of the airship.
'Maybe I'll find the redemption I'm looking for here.' I thought.
(Yang POV)
"So Ozpin just LET you in after what you did at the convenient store?" I asked Ruby after she told me about what happened a few hours ago.
"Yeah, he didn't really tell me why though. He just asked me if I wanted to join his academy and just let me joining after I said yes!" Ruby said.
"Why would he let me in, especially two year's earlier?" Ruby asked herself.
"Why? It's because you're awesome! That's why!" I said as I brought Ruby into a bear hug.
"Please. Stop." Ruby struggled to say.
"But I'm so proud of you! Just think about it! We get to spend the next four years training to become huntresses. Isn't it incredible?!" I asked her as I let her go.
"Really, it was nothing, I'm sure that anyone could have done what I did if they were put into the situation." Ruby said.
I STRONGLY doubt that.
I don't know why she's being so hard on herself, she stopped Roman Torchwick.
ROMAN. TORCHWICK! Not a lot of people can say that they've stopped Roman and still live to tell the tale.
Also not a lot of people can say that they've eaten a whole plate of cookies in twelve seconds.
Seriously, she's the worst when it comes to eating healthy how is she not worried about her figure?!
"What do you mean 'It was nothing'? You were incredible!" I said to her.
"You weren't even there!" Ruby said.
"Well, if it was enough for Ozpin to let you in two year's earlier, then I'm sure that you were incredible! Just think about it! Everyone at the school is gonna think you're the bee's knees." Yang said.
People still use that term, right?
.
.
.
.
Right?
"Okay, I don't want to be the 'bee's knee's', I don't want to be any kinda knee's! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knee's.
Yeah, because training at a school made to train kids to fight monsters of the darkness qualifies as 'Normal'.
"What's with you? Aren't you excited?" I asked.
"Of course I'm excited! I just... I got moved ahead two years, I don't want people thinking I'm special or anything." Ruby said.
"What's wrong with being special? If I were you, I'd be basking in all of the glory that I'd be getting." I said with stars in my eye's.
"Ohhh." Ruby moaned as she crouched down and pulled up her hood.
Great, you made her feel even worse than she is now. Good job Yang!
"Look, there's nothing wrong with being special. As long as you don't go rubbing it into people's faces, then they won't hold it against you." I said as I wrapped one of my arms around her.
"The robbery was lead by the nefarious criminal, Roman Torchwick. Who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department." We heard a man on the projection screen say.
Yeah, because the police have been SO reliable in the past. This is a job for a huntress.
"Back to you Lisa." The man said as a woman appeared on the screen.
"Thank you, Cyril." Lisa said.
Jeez, get this lady a tissue, sounds like she has a major cold.
"In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Right's protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted..." Lisa was cut off as the projection of a woman took her place.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon." The woman said.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch." Glynda said.
"Oh." I said.
"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy." Glynda said.
"Out world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsman and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it." Glynda said.
"You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training needed to protect our world." Glynda said as she faded away.
Damn, straight to the point, I like this place already!
"Wow!" Ruby said as she ran over to the window to get a better view of Vale.
"Look! You can see signal from up here!" Ruby said.
I looked out the window to see Patch not to far off in the distance.
"I guess home isn't too far after all." Ruby said.
"Beacon's our home, now." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder. We turn our heads to the sound of someone groaning.
"Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone." I said as the boy walked past us.
"It was a nice moment while it lasted." Ruby said.
"I wonder who we're gonna meet." I said.
"I just hope they're better than "Vomit Boy" over there." Ruby said.
Yeah, I think things are starting to look up for us.
"Oh, Yang, gross, you have puke on your shoe!" Ruby said as she walked away from me.
.
.
.
.
I just HAD to open my mouth, didn't I?
(My POV)
'So, here we go.' I thought to myself as I walked in front of Beacon. As I walked, I could see the various student's that were attending Beacon, some looked like they had some cool weapons, some just had weapons that looked sort of... meh. Then again, all I wield is a sword and a revolver so I don't really have a lot of room to talk.
'I'm officially in the canon story line. So... where do I start?' I thought.
'There's not really a lot that's in need of changing in Vol 1, though maybe I can help wrap up the whole Jaundice arc quicker than the show did.' I thought.
'As for Vol 2, I think that will be my best chance on getting Neo to switch sides and join the fight against Cinder. Even then, the only chance I'll get at that is at Mountain Glenn before the breach.' I thought.
'Even so, convincing her to fight against her uncle will one HELL of a thing to do, not to mention the fact that there's a pretty high chance of everyone finding out about Neo.' I thought as I walked across the courtyard.
'Though Neo will probably be the easiest to switch over, Mercury I don't think would be particularly hard, he just needs to know that he'll survive after he does. It's Emerald that I'm worried about. She seems to be the most devoted to Cinder, and the least likely to switch sides.' I thought.
'Vol 3 is will probably be the most difficult, not because preventing the event's will be hard. No, that shouldn't be to hard, it's Cinder I'm worried about. If I do succeed, then I doubt that Cinder will be happy about it.' I thought,
'I mean, she was able to kill Ozpin, fucking Ozpin! I can barely land a finger on the guy!' I thought.
'Well, I technically have half a year or so to prepare for the fall.' I thought.
'As for Vol 4, well I do know that they're more people working for Salem, and that it's not just Cinder. Speaking of Cinder, Ruby fucked her up good, I mean she can barely speak. Though if I do succeed, then I doubt that future will actually happen.' I thought.
'Well, there are a bunch of things that probably happen and they never really showed. Where do I start?' I thought, only for the sound of an explosion to break me out of my thought process.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" I heard a familiar voice say.
"I'm really, REALLY sorry." I heard anther familiar voice say.
.
.
.
.
'Should I really start off like every other fan fic in the history of RWBY fan fics?' I asked myself as I saw the scene that was unfolding in front of me.
"Ugh! You complete dolt! What are you even doing here?! Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?!" Weiss asked.
'Then again, every other fic starts off as the OC main character not knowing the main characters. I know Weiss, and I know Ruby to a certain extent.' I thought.
"Well, I-." Ruby began, only to be cut off by Weiss.
"This isn't your ordinary combat school, it's not just sparing and practicing you know. We're here to fight monsters." Weiss said as she crossed her arms.
'Well, through out the series, you've shown that most of your time at Beacon has been sparing and practicing, but what do I know? Some stuff could have happened in between.' I thought.
"So watch where you're going!" Weiss said.
"Look, I said I was sorry, princess!" Ruby said in frustration.
'Cue Blake.' I thought.
"It's heiress actually." I heard Blake say.
You know the drill.
'Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee dust company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world.' I thought as Blake gave Ruby Weiss's status update.
"Finally some recognition." Weiss said in relief.
Now for part two.
'The SAME company infamous for it's controversial labor forces and questionable business partners.' I though.
Seriously, do you even need me to repeat this shit?
'That's my cue.' I thought as I walked over to the three girls.
"How dare yo-!" Weiss began, only to be cut off by the sound of my laughter.
"Really? Heiress? Princess? Those are some good names, but I prefer the term, Ice Queen." I said as I stood behind Weiss. Ruby began to laugh, while Blake began to chuckle.
"Who do you think you a-!" Weiss stopped herself as she turned around to face me, her eye's widening.
"Good to see ya again, Weiss." I said with a grin.
"Wait, you know her?" Ruby asked, only for her to recognize me from last night.
"Wait, I know you! You were at the bar last night!" Ruby said.
"You were at a bar?!" Weiss yelled.
'God damn it Ruby.' I thought.
"What was your name? Brando?" Ruby asked.
"It's Brandon!" Weiss and I yelled in unison.
We already have enough JoJo references as it is.
"Eek! There's two of them!" Ruby said.
'I don't know whether I should be offended by that or not.' I thought.
"Ugh, I don't have time for this! I have better things to do." Weiss said as she stormed off.
Good, now I can finally meet Jau-
"You're coming with me." Weiss said as she grabbed my hoodie and dragged me away with her.
Damn it.
"I promise to make this up to you!" Ruby shouted.
Well, at least it's not COMPLETELY like every RWBY fan fic ever made.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Will you quit pulling?!" I yelled as Weiss led me to the front of the amphitheater. Weiss let go of my hood and turned to face me.
"It's good to see you again." Weiss said with a smirk.
"You know, you gotta weird way of greeting people." I said. Weiss's response was to kick me in the shin with one of her boots.
"Ow!" I yelled as I gripped the place she kicked.
"Oh calm down. If you're able to defeat a White Fan lieutenant, then you'll be able to handle a kick to your shin." Weiss said.
"You're wearing heels!" I yelled.
"Glad to see your attitude hasn't changed a bit." Weiss said dryly.
"I can say the same to you, Ice Queen." I said.
"Ow! Quit doing that!" I yelled as Weiss kicked me again.
"Then stop calling me Ice Queen!" Weiss said.
"Stop acting like one!" I yelled.
"Moving on to a different subject." Weiss sighed as she rubbed her temples.
'Don't ask about the bar. Don't ask about the bar. Don't ask about the-!'
"How have you developed?" Weiss asked.
.
.
"I'm sorry, what?" I asked.
"You know, with your skills as a fighter." Weiss said.
'Thank god.' I thought.
"Well, I did pick up a few tricks." I said.
"Like?" Weiss said, motioning me to go into further detail.
"Well, I-." I began, only for Weiss to cut me off.
"No, don't tell me, you can show me at the initiation tomorrow." Weiss said.
"Uh, okay, what about you?" I asked.
"Oh! I'm glad you asked. Well, I have even more control over my Glyph's than before, and I even started to practice time dilation." Weiss said.
"What about that summoning thing?" I asked.
"Well... I can't really do that. At all." Weiss said somberly.
"What are you talking about? You were able to do it when we were fighting that lieutenant." I said.
"Well, that was with the... the?" Weiss said as she struggled to remember the name of my enchantment.
"Enchant?" I said.
"Right! It was because of your enchant semblance that I was able to summon those Beowolf's." Weiss said.
"My enchant semblance only amplifies the user's semblance. It doesn't add to it." I said.
"That means that somewhere in there, lies the potential to do your summoning." I said to her.
.
.
.
.
"Hah, I know I can do it." Weiss sighed.
"Then why-?" I began, only to be cut off by Weiss.
"It's just, it's the ONE thing I've constantly had trouble with." Weiss said.
"Well you're not gonna get any better at it by complaining about it." I said.
"I'm not complaining!" Weiss shouted.
I just look at her with a deadpanned look on my face.
"Let's just move on to a different subject, why were you in a bar?!" Weiss asked.
"I was...curious is all." I said.
"About what?!" Weiss asked.
"I didn't get drunk if that's what your so angry about." I said. Weiss pinched the tip of her nose before sighing.
"Whatever, let's just go inside." Weiss said as she walked into the amphitheater.
.
.
.
.
Suddenly, a mischievous grin formed on my face.
"Hey, you wanna see something cool?" I asked as I formed an Ice Bomb in my hand.
"What's this?" Weiss asked as she looked at the bomb.
"Here, take it." I said, placing the bomb in her hand.
"Okay, but what is i-?" Weiss was cut off as the bomb exploded, covering her in icicles.
"Now you really are the Ice Queen." I said in between laughs. Weiss stood there in silence for a couple of seconds before rubbing her temples with her hands.
"You are so immature." Weiss said as she walked away from me.
"It was a joke!" I yelled as I started to follow her into the amphitheater. Only for a pink blur to speed in front of me.
'What the hell just-?!' I thought, only to be cut off by a barrage of questions.
"Oh my Oum! How did you do that?! I knew there was another bomb user here! What kind of bombs to you use? I've never seen bomb's like yours, how do you make them glow like that? Can you show me? I want to make my grenades glow pink, for added affect, you know?" The girl asked at a thousand miles per hour.
'What?' I thought as I looked at the girl in front of me. The girl had short orange hair and turquoise eyes. Her clothing was a mix and match of some sort, with different colors and themes. She wore a collared black vest that ends at her waist. Her emblem, which was a hammer with a lightning bolt, can be found on the back. Under the vest are two layers of clothing, colored red and light-blue respectively.
She also wore a white sleeveless top that forms a tiny heart shape between her cleavage and collarbone, with a white detached sleeve on each arm. She wore matching fingerless gloves on each hand. She sports a pink skirt that starts at the waist and ends mid-thigh. Her shoes are a mix of pink and white with pink laces, displaying her emblem on their soles.
She also wears armor that begins in the middle of the shoulder and neck and ends by the waist.
"Oh, silly me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nora Valkyrie." Nora said as she slapped my across the back.
"Ow." I said.
"Nora, what did I say about running off so suddenly?" I heard a male voice ask. I turned to see a male teenager with long black hair tied into a ponytail that ends midway down his back. There is a magenta streak on the left side of his hair. His eyes match the streak in his hair, and his clothing appears to be influenced by Chinese culture.
He wore a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat that is red on the inside, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. The trimming goes down the right side of his torso and forms a black collar.
This color scheme seems to be influenced to some degree by the lotus flower, which is his emblem. He wore a black, long-sleeved shirt beneath the suit, and light-tan pants with black shoes.
"Oh, sorry Ren, you know that there are two thing's I love in life, pancakes, and explosions." Nora said to Ren as he walked towards us.
"I know, but that's no excuse to just go up to him and start asking questions without a proper introduction." Ren said.
"Okay, I'm sorry about that. I just get so excited when I see an explosion!" Nora apologized.
.
.
.
.
"Hey, you okay?" Nora asked as she tilted her head sideways.
'Well then, didn't think I'd be meeting them this early, but hey, guess it's less cliche than Jaune.' I thought.
"Yohoo! Everything okay up there?" Nora asked as she waved her hand in front of my face.
"Wha? Oh, yeah, I'm fine." I said.
"So, how did you make those bombs?" Nora asked.
"You mean these?" I asked as I formed a dust bomb in my hand.
"Oooh!" Nora said as she snatched the bomb out of hands.
"Uh, I would throw that if I were you. There's not exactly a-." I was cut off mid sentence as the bomb exploded.
"Detonator." I said.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Nora said as pink sparks formed around her.
"Uh." I began, only to be stopped by Ren.
"Her semblance make's her immune to lightning attacks." Ren said.
'Right, I guess I'm starting to forget some of the things that happened in the show.' I thought.
"Well, I do believe that the speech will start soon, it will be wise to move into the amphitheater." Ren said.
"Oh, right! The speech! Yeah, we should probably get going! Don't want to get kicked out already!" Nora said as she ran inside.
"Is she ALWAYS like this?" I asked.
"Yes." Ren responded.
"How the hell do you deal with someone that act's like they've just had fifty cups of coffee?" I asked.
"You get used to it." Ren said as he began to follow Nora inside.
"Oh! Hey, I gotta go, I'll see you after the ceremony!" I heard Ruby say.
"Hey, wait!" I heard a familiar voice say.
'Welp, better now than never.' I thought as I walked up to the tall teenage boy with dark-blue eyes that are emphasized by his messy blonde hair. He is quite toned, having strong muscles in his arms, shoulders and upper chest.
.
.
.
.
Just realized how weird that sounded. Any way's, he wore a white diamond-shaped chestplate and white spaulders with rerebrace. Under the armor, he wears a black hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves and an image of the bunny rabbit Pumpkin Pete hidden underneath the chestplate. He also wears blue pants with a white patch on the left knee, as well as black sneakers.
He has two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them. He wore brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and a small metal plate on the back.
"Great, now where am I going to find a nice quirky girl to talk to?" Jaune asked.
"Well." I began, causing Jaune to turn to face me.
"I'm not exactly a 'nice, quirky girl' but hey, I'm better than nothing." I said as I walked next to him.
"Beside's, it looks you could use a couple of guy friends." I said.
"Wha-? Oh, yeah! Guy friend, who needs a nice, quirky girl when I have my guy friend!" Jaune said.
.
.
.
.
"You're not very good at this, are you?" I asked.
"Nope." Jaune said.
"Well, the name's Brandon, nice to meet'ca." I said as I extended my hand outwards.
"Oh, Jaune Arc, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it." Jaune said.
"Do they really now?" I asked with a smirk on my face.
"W-well not yet. B-but they will! Just you wait." He said.
"Whatever you say, Jaune." I said as we walked through the crowd.
"So...what kind of weapon do you have?" Jaune asked.
"I've got this." I said as I pulled out my sword.
"Oh, nice to see someone has an appreciation for the classics." He said.
"Well, I also have this." I said as I pulled out my revolver.
"What is it?" Jaune asked.
"I'll keep it short, it's a revolver." I said.
"Nice, small and simple, I like that." He said.
"That's why I picked it. I prefer a more up close and personal approach personally." I said.
"Yeah, and we can paint our nails, try on cloths, and talk cute boy's like tall, blonde and scraggly over there." I heard Weiss say.
"I-is she talking about me?" Jaune asked.
"Do you see anyone else that fit's that description?" I asked.
"Wow! It's already the first day of Beacon, and I'm already attracting some of the ladies." He said.
'I can see why Weiss would find this annoying.' I thought.
"I think she was being sarcastic." I said.
"Look at her. She's as beautiful as the white snow." Jaune said.
"Are you even listening to me?" I asked.
"I'll...keep this brief." Ozpin said through the microphone.
"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." He said.
"Closure." Ozpin said as he looked my 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." He said as he walked off of the stage.
'Why did he look at me when he said that one part?' I asked myself.
"You will gather at the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready, you are dismissed." Glynda said into the microphone.
"Hey, Jaune, did you notice anything off about his speech?" I asked.
.
.
.
.
"Jaune?" I asked as I turned around to see that Jaune was walking towards Weiss.
"I'm a natural blonde you know." Jaune said.
'God damn it, Jaune.' I thought.
The ballroom was filled to the brim with sleeping bags as everyone got ready to sleep for the night. Everyone was either getting ready to go to sleep, already sleeping, or were just making idle chat with some of their friends. The girls were swooning over the different guy's that walked around the room, while the guy's were admiring the girls as they chatted with there friends.
I was in the bathroom, getting ready to go to sleep myself, though there was one question that was weighing on my mind.
Why the fuck do I have to sleep in the ballroom, even though I have my own room already?
I mean seriously?! Why the fuck would I want to sleep in a room filled with a bunch of hormonal teenagers? That's a bomb waiting to go off!
'Then again, I can't really complain. Maybe I can see if Weiss's inconsistent chest size is canon or not.' I thought.
"Hey Brandon." I heard Jaune say from behind me.
"Oh, hey Jau-." I couldn't finish my sentence as I just burst into a laughing fit.
"W-what?!" Jaune asked.
"W-what are you wearing?!" I asked in between laughs.
"They're my lucky pumpkin peet footie pajamas!" Jaune said.
"What did you do? Send in a box top to win in a prize?!" I asked.
"Yeah! Twenty!" He defended.
'Well, it's not fifty so it's not as sad. Though seriously, why didn't they have those for sale in the Rooster Teeth store? I'm sure they would have made a lot of money off of them.' I thought.
"Yeah, yeah, keep laughing." Jaune grumbled.
"Sorry, though seriously, you should probably consider tossing those." I said.
"Why?" Jaune asked.
"Well, girl's aren't exactly gonna go running to a guy wearing footie pajama's." I said.
"You don't know that." Jaune said.
"So... nice night, don't ya think?" Yang asked from across the room.
"What are you looking at?" Jaune asked as he looked over in my direction.
"That." I said.
"Yeah, it's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book I'm reading...which I will continue to read... as soon as you leave." Blake said.
"Jeez, talk about awkward, am I right?" Jaune asked.
.
.
.
.
"Brandon?" Jaune asked. I shook my head, stood up, and walked over to the three.
"W-wait! What are you doing?" Jaune asked as he followed me.
"Look at the Jaune, tell me what you see." I said as I pointed at the three.
"I see three girls trying to have a conversation?" He guessed.
"Wrong! Those are three girls FAILING to have a conversation! Look at them! They're getting nowhere." I said.
"What are we gonna do?" Jaune asked.
"I'M going to go lighten things up a little." I said.
"How are you gonna do that?" He asked.
"Just watch." I said as I began to walk towards the trio.
(3rd Person POV)
"So... nice night, don't ya think?" Yang asked.
"Yes, it's lovely." Blake said in fake enthusiasm. "Almost as good as this book I'm reading." Blake said, hoping they would get the hint.
.
.
"Which I will continue to read." Blake said, slightly annoyed.
.
.
.
.
'Seriously?' Blake thought.
"As soon as you leave." Blake said, putting more emphasis on the last word.
"Yeah, this girl's a lost cause." Yang scoffed, realizing that the girl really wasn't interested in talking to them.
'Finally, maybe now I can finally get back to my-.' Before Blake could continue to read, she heard footsteps coming towards her.
'What now?' She asked.
She looked up to see that the boy from this morning was walking towards them with a look of determination on his face.
"Oh! Hey Brandon, didn't expect to see you here." Yang said.
'Brandon, huh?' Blake thought.
"Uh, what are you doing." Ruby asked as Brandon walked towards Blake with one of his hand's raised.
'What the hell?' Blake thought as Brandon approached.
'What's this guy up to? Wait...! Is he trying to take my bow off?!' Blake thought as Brandon approached.
'Is he a spy from the White Fang? No, the White Fang would never trust a human. Is he an assassin?! Oh Oum, it hasn't even been one day, and I've already been-.' Blake was cut off as Brandon poked her nose with his finger.
"Boop." He said.
.
.
.
.
'What the hell just-?!' Blake thought, only to be cut off by Brandon.
"Oh I get it, you're one of those silent and mysterious type's of girls. Alright, I can work with this." Brandon said.
"Uhh." Blake said, trying to make sense of the whole situation.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" He asked.
"W-what?! N-no! I don't know what you-."
"Then try to be a bit more social, we're just trying to have a friendly conversation here." Brandon said.
"The book won't go anywhere, now come on, let's have a little fun, huh?" He asked.
"B-but I-"
"Now that I've gotten a closer look at you, your looks aren't half bad, ever think about picking up modeling?" Brandon asked.
"Come on, give me a smile." Brandon said as he extended both his index finger's and his thumb's to create a screen of some sort.
"Aw come on, we've already got cold and mysterious. How about we switch to a different look?" He asked.
"Come on, give some love to the camera! Show us some of those moves." Brandon said with a cocky grin.
.
.
.
.
"Um, Brandon." Yang asked.
"What's up?"
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked.
"Trying to get her to crawl out of her little book fort." He said.
"Uh, I don't think you're doing a good jo-." Jaune was cut off by the sound of Blake laughing lightly.
"Job." Jaune finished.
"There we go." Brandon said.
"Heh, wow, I haven't laughed like that in a long time." Blake said with a smile.
"Thanks." She said.
"Meh, don't mention it, I just don't like it when people act all depressed like you were." Brandon said with a shrug.
'Gee, thanks.' Blake thought sarcastically.
"So, is there anything you wanted?" Blake asked.
"Well, my friend Ruby here is dying to ask you about your book." Brandon said.
"She is?" Blake asked.
"I am?" Ruby asked, only to be lightly hit in the arm by Brandon.
"I mean, yeah! I am! What's it about?" Ruby asked.
"Well, it's about a man with two souls, each soul fighting for control over the his body." Blake said.
"Oh, yeah...that's really lov-MMPH" Yang was cut off by Brandon placing one of his hands on Yang's mouth.
"You wanted her to talk to someone, well there you go!" Brandon said.
"I love books." Ruby said. "Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of hero's and monster's... They're one of the reason's why I choose to become a huntress." Ruby said.
"And why's that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" Blake asked, a small grin showing on her face.
"Well, I hope we all do. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in those books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!" Ruby said with a determined look on her face.
"You... have some pretty ambitious goals for a child." Blake said before her smile turned into a frown. "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." Blake said.
'You don't even know the half of it sweet heart.' Brandon thought.
"Well that's why we're here. To make it better for everyone." Ruby said.
'Jeez, could have used her when my world's countries decided to go to war.' Brandon thought.
.
.
'Where the hell did that come from?!' He thought.
"Oh, I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Yang said as she brought Ruby into a bear hug, lifting her into the air.
Cut it out!" Ruby yelled in protest, kicking Yang in the face. Soon enough, what started off as some sisterly love quickly turned into a dust cloud straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon. Blake and Jaune couldn't help but laugh as they watched the brawl play out.
"Well, Ruby, Yang, Brandon..uh?" She said as she pointed at Jaune.
"Oh, Jaune Arc." Jaune greeted.
"Right Jaune, well it's been a pleasure to ha-"
"What in the world is going on here?! Weiss asked.
'So she IS flat.' Brandon thought.
"Don't you realize that some of us are trying to sleep?!" Weiss asked. It was at this point where Yang and Ruby took note of the angry heiress and Weiss finally realized that these were the same people getting on her nerves earlier.
"Oh not you again!" Yang and Weiss shouted at each other.
"Shh! Guy's, she's right!" Ruby interjected quickly. "People are trying to sleep!"
Oh, NOW you're on my side!"
"I was always on your side!"
"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's just trying to be nice!"
"She's a hazard to my health!"
'This is gonna get old REALLY quick.' Brandon thought bitterly.
So then... that does it, we've officially started the canon story line.
So I've met MOST of team JNPR, as well as finally officially meeting Blake.
The initiation starts tomorrow.
Wonder if it will play out like it did in the show?
Though knowing my luck, something is gonna go wrong one way or anther.
Guess we'll just have to wait until then.
Here are some of the review's you guy's left in the last chapter.

Omake-Story Time-(Non-Canon)
"Brandon?" Ruby said as she shook my body.
.
.
"Brandon." She said a bit louder than before.
.
.
"Brandon!" Ruby said.
"Jesus, Ruby. What time is it?" I asked as I rubbed my eye's.
"12:30." Ruby said.
"Why the hell are you waking me up so late?!" I silently yelled.
"I need you to read me a story." Ruby said.
"Aren't you a bit old for that?" I asked.
"Please?" Ruby asked.
"Why can't Yang do it?" I asked.
"Because she can't sleep either." Yang said from behind me. I sighed in defeat before rubbing my temples.
"Okay, fine. I'll read you two a story." I said.
"Thanks!" Ruby said.
"Okay, let's see.." I said as I pinched my chin, trying to think of a story.
.
.
.
.
"Okay, I got a story for ya." I said. Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking towards us, I turned around to see that Weiss was walking towards us with a angered look in her eye's.
"What are you two doing?! Shouldn't you all be asleep?!"Weiss asked.
"Look, it's the Ice Queen." Yang said dryly.
"Brandon's going to read us a story." Ruby said.
"Aren't you a bit old for a bed time story?" Weiss asked.
"You're never to old for a story!" Ruby said.
"Fine, just keep it down." Weiss said.
"Why don't you join us?" Ruby asked.
"What?" Weiss asked.
"What?!" Yang asked.
"Why not? She's already here." Ruby said as she moved so Weiss could sit.
"Fine." Weiss said as she sat next to Ruby.
"Okay, so let's get sta-." I began, only for Blake to appear next to Yang.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I heard you were telling a story, so I decided to listen." Blake said.
"Anyone else want to join?!" I asked. All of a sudden, Nora sat in front of me with Ren following close behind her. Jaune also sat next to Ren with a curious look on his face.
"Alright, now can I start?!" I asked. Everyone nodded there heads and proceeded to get ready to listen.
"Okay, this story is called "Andy the Frog." I said.
"Now I'll warn you, this story feature's long convoluted similes, though I'll warn you when we get to that part." I said.
"What's a simile?" Ruby asked.
"It's a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid." Blake said.
"Oh."
"Okay, Once upon a time, there was a frog named Andy. Andy lived at the Patten Park Pond and had never hopped anywhere else his entire frog life. He had 3 best friends." I said, holding up three of my fingers.
"Millie- who never left her lily pad." I said holding up one finger.
"Billie- who was always hopping mad." I said holding up two fingers. Weiss rolled her eye's, while Yang seem uninterested in the story.
"Then there was Roger- who was arrested for possession of tadpole porn." I said.
.
.
.
.
"This story took a weird turn." Jaune said. Weiss looked horrified, Ruby looked confused, Blake looked interested, Yang was trying her best not to laugh, Nora was already laughing, and Ren was trying to calm her down.
"W-what kind of a story is this?!" Weiss asked.
"Shh, this is starting to get interesting." Blake said.
"Yang, what's po-!" Ruby began to ask, only to be cut off by her sister.
"Don't ask." Yang said.
"But I-."
"Ever."
"Moving on, So one day, Andy saw something hop across the grass on the other side of the pond!" I said.
"Millie, Billie, Roger, look!" said Andy.
"Across the pond stood the most beautiful frog that Andy had ever seen." I said.
"So it's a romance story." Weiss said.
"Sort of." I said.
"She's gorgeous!" said Millie.
"She's beautiful!" said Billie.
"BIT OLD FOR MY TASTE." said Roger.
"Classic Roger!" I said.
"And then she was gone."
"I need to go find her," said Andy, "I need to follow my little frog heart."
"So Andy followed the beautiful frogs footsteps into the forest." I said.
"He then came across a turtle."
"You can't pass!" said the turtle.
"Please?" said Andy.
"NO." said the turtle.
"Now, heads up, we'll be getting into the first long convoluted simile." I said.
"Then, there was a rustling in the bushes, and like a man who had been shot in the chest with a rifle, the turtle was shot in the chest with a rifle." Yang proceeded to roll on the floor in a laughing fit.
"Yang!" Ruby said.
"Andy kept moving, but at this point, like the doctor of a Kenyan track team, his patience ran thin." I said. Everyone looked at me with confused looks.
'Right, they wouldn't get that joke.' I thought.
.
.
.
.
"Andy kept moving." I said, moving on with the story.
"He then came across a giant crocodile, and the crocodile began to chant."
"I woke up this morning and I sat on a log, I opened up the menu and the menu said frog!" The crocodile said.
Andy said, "NO! No, please let go of me, I can feel myself dying, you're ripping up my insides, I'm never gonna find her am I, there's no god is there, fuck, fuck!"
"The end." I said as I blew out the candle that was lit next to me.
"Wait, what about the moral of the story?" Blake asked.
"Moral of the story is go to bed." I said.
