Volume 1 Issue 10: Welcome to Beacon

Kingdom of Vale

Beacon Academy

12:10 P.M.

1 hour after Ben's arrival at Beacon Academy.

Beacon Academy.

One of the most prodigious Huntsman Academies right here in the Kingdom of Vale. This ancient school is runned by Professor Ozpin, who believes in teamwork strongly.

As Ben Tennyson himself arrived at the entrance to Beacon Academy, he was shocked as the school itself looked like a castle with one large tower in the middle with glowing green lights. Ben quickly recomposed himself as he followed behind Ozpin and Goodwitch, as the three of them walked down Main Avenue to the school itself.

"Wow... So this is Beacon Academy?" Ben asked, while walking towards the entrance of Beacon with Ozpin and Goodwitch in tow.

"Yes, young Benjamin," Ozpin explained, "This is the school that I run and in order to attend this school. You will have to take an initiation here in order to attend. The iniation is simple, you'll be launched into the Emerald Forest, and fight some Grimm as you will go to a temple where you will choose a relic or chess piece that will place you on a already formed team, if you picked a piece that didn't form a team you can be a solo one man army due to your experience."

Ben listened as he understood the basics of this initiation that Beacon Academy required. Not only he has to pass the entrance exam but he has to get a chess piece in this world. It's like feels he's in a chess game, but use as a pawn.

"Okay, but listen, I just don't want the students here to find out about my true powers, you know my Ultimatrix. Because, I don't want some crazy scientists or military getting their greedy hands on my watch." Ben said with a warning tone.

Ben knew that if word of his Ultimatrix came out, the scientists and possibly the military of this universe, would probably get their hands on him and try to replicate the Level 20 DNA Alterer device on his left arm.

He hope that wouldn't happen because of the upgrades that Azmuth installed in the Ultimatrix. First, to prevent unauthorized hacking into the Ultimatrix like Inspector 13 of the Techadon Empire, and the Nanite Monster, Alpha. These upgrades came with these special features.

Azmuth installed over a milllion Galvan security measures including 10 firewalls, and an anti-hacking and anti-virus program to prevent the Ultimatrix from malfunctioning and and the Master Control can only be activated by Voice Command since Ben unlocked it manually in the first place.

Next, like the prototype Omnitrix, if Ben were threatened or the watch be taken off by force, it will respond with a energy pulse to prevent the watch from coming off, and will instantly recharge if he is threatened. It can only be removed by pressing the black rectangular button increasing its size to slip off.

Although, Ben never ever takes the Ultimatrix off even if he is asleep. He only removes it when he goes to take a shower, which was the only exception. Ben knew he must always deactivate it so nobody other than him or a secondary user can access it. Even though the watch is codelocked to his DNA, meaning only he can use it. Secondary user access allows a different person with their DNA that would allow them to use the Ultimatrix only with Ben's consent.

Plus, the Ultimatrix Security System installed by Kevin with the two keys he held on with him in all times. Meaning that, no one be able to access the locked Celestialsapien DNA sample, Alien X, except him. Speaking of Alien X, before he left for Remnant, he finally managed to gain full control of Alien X after convincing Serena: The Voice of Love and Compassion and Belacus: The Voice of Rage and Aggression, he told them that he will use Alien X as long they agreed to be more decisive, more strategically and less arguing. In return, Ben promise them that they can finish up any of those previous arguments eons ago as long they both cooperate with him. Plus, even though Alien X can do anything, Ben will only use it for emergencies as long he can unlock the Celestialsapien DNA with the Ultimatrix Security System Keys.

"Very well, Mister Tennyson," Ozpin agreeing with Ben's demands. "We'll do everything in our power to keep your Ultimatrix a secret from the public and your secret will only be shared with our close staff members."

"Thank You, Professor," Ben said in relief. He was glad that he could hope Ozpin would never break his promise, because once he finds a way home back to his world, he'll be glad to be over with this satisfying adventure he's on now.

Now, the three of them walked through the entrance inside the large school.

Ben was staring in awe, this building is the school he was attending. It looked freaking awesome since he would be temporarily here for the time being.

Five Hours Later...

Beacon Academy Dorms

5:10 P.M.

After Ozpin and Glynda showed Ben all around Beacon, since all students are in classes. He arrived to the Beacon Dining Hall as the chefs gave him his favorite lunch, chili fries with cheese, onions, and jalepeños with an ice cold smoothie. Ben seemed that Ozpin requested the chefs in the dining hall make favorite foods for such picky students. As soon he arrived to his designated dorm room, he brought his favorite food and drink with him, although it wasn't a big deal since they managed to meet his tastes despite their is a fast food place in Remnant. He figured out these fast food places are just like the ones similar in Bellwood. Before he opened his door, he noticed a package for him in front of his door.

The package also has a note and a list of supplies on top of it with Ben's name on it. Ben took the note and read it out loud, as the note reads.

"Dear, Benjamin Tennyson

This package you see right here in front of your designated dorm room number, contains all the supplies you will need to attend classes here at Beacon Academy.

Find me and meet me at my office, it is located in the large middle tower called Beacon Tower, where you will access the elevator to my office.

I'm hoping you will learn more about our world, Remnant, whole the staff members and I would love to learn about your universe and the Ultimatrix. Have a nice day, young man.

Sincerely, Professor Ozpin; Headmaster of Beacon Academy.

P.S. Make sure to take your scroll out in order to unlock your door to your dorms. The doors are secured with an electronic lock, which can only be disengaged by scrolls so you won't lock yourself out as you must keep your scroll on you at all times.

Ben blinks at the note, and shrugs his shoulders in response. He then ripped open the package and saw all the retirements he needed to attend Beacon.

First, the thing he took out from the box was the Beacon Academy Male School Uniform. The uniform itself consisted of a black suit lined with gold, accompanied by a blue vest and a white shirt with a red tie. Plus, it also comes with black dress shoes in his size, and black dress socks.

Ben read the rules that students are allowed to customize their attire, the only thing he wore on his person was the Ultimatrix, but he'd have to conceal it underneath his left sleeve to keep it hidden so the students wouldn't suspect the source of his transformations.

Next, Ben took out a small device that appears to be white a cylindrical object with a yellow, diamond-shaped button in its center. He then pushed the button as the object transformed into a translucent, touch-sensitive panel between two solid end grips.

Ben guessed this was a scroll, since it looked like a small high-tech tablet. He then touched the Wi-Fi icon as he opened up to connect to the Wi-Fi network of this school. He began to type the password "b3acon#" that was written on the note, now he was connected to the internet. He then hold the small tablet over the lock as the red light turned green, signaling the door is unlocked and turned the handle to open the door. He took the package with him as he step forward into the room.

As he went inside his own dorm he saw what it looks like. There was a window with red curtains slid apart from each other, showing the bright afternoon outside, four individual beds with their each set of pillows and red blankets. A small, wooden rectangular bookshelf that is near the windows with curtains, and two brown doors on each side of the room. One door was a bathroom complete with sink, shower and toilet, and the other door was a closet for storing his clothing. Also, there was a small circular velvet carpet on the floor.

Ben smiled as he then set the package on his bed, and continued to take all the necessary supplies he needs and got all the school supplies he needs for each class. He look at his schedule and it reads for each class and his personal locker # with the code for the 9 digit keypad to type in. His schedule reads...

Ben smiled at his schedule, its like going to high school all over again in Bellwood, but this school is all about learning how to become Huntsmen to defend the the World of Remnant from the Creatures of Grimm.

He hope that once he gets used to this school, he could still do some hero work even though this is not this world to protect.

Ben then began to organize his own dorm. First, he first put his uniform in the closet. Next, he then took off his green backpack and took out all the contents out of the bag and put them in the drawers to keep them safe. He knew that he couldn't use powdered Dust or Dust crystals right now cause he'd think he'll only use them for desperate times. Then, he took out the pajamas he slept with from the night in hotel, and carefully folded them as he put them in the drawer. Finally, he took out his Lien Cards and Lien Coins, putting them away in his pants pocket. So whenever Ben goes out to eat in the city of Vale, he will use his own Lien money that Velvet gave him and the amount of Lien he got from Ozpin so he will have some money to spend on clothes, food, etc.

As soon Ben finished unpacking, someone knocked on his door. Ben wondered who could it be... he knew only Ozpin and Glynda knows where his designated dorm room is.

'That's strange... I couldn't be expecting someone. Wait, did one of them find out about my watch?!' Ben thought, as he felt paranoia coming over him.

He carefully placed the Ultimatrix back on his left arm just in case, as he walked to the door and opened it.

As soon he opened the door, his eyes widen and jaw dropping as he recognized the person in front of him at his door. A familiar looking rabbit Faunus girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Ben couldn't believe his eyes, it was Velvet Scarletina, the girl he saved from the Grimm and stayed at her village. And she was right here wearing the Beacon Academy School Uniform for the females: She wore a white, form-fitting top, with a collar lined with black and a pink ribbon tied neatly below. She also appears wearing a dark-brown, long-sleeved jacket that comes down around her chest over the shirt. Her leggings consist of two pairs: a pair of dark-brown shorts and a pair of black form-fitting leggings that come to just below her hips.

"B-Ben?... is that you? Y-You're the new student here at Beacon, that Ozpin sent me to get?!" Velvet said with shock and surprise.

"Uh...," Ben stuttered, as he was hugged by the rabbit Faunus, Velvet was completely happy that her new friend is attending Beacon. Ben blushed, as he was being hugged by the rabbit girl he helped save.

"Y-Yes, Velvet, I'am. Remember my watch that allows me to transform into Spidermonkey?...Yeah, I told Ozpin about it, and he believed me," Ben said honestly. Even though he told Ozpin where he came from he still didn't tell Velvet the whole truth about his true origins, as she is slowly starting to put 2 and 2 together, she knew he lied to her ever since she met him, and figured out the green watch gauntlet on his arm seems to be way more advanced than the technology here on Remnant. Well at first, she was mad that he lied to her, but she totally understand that Ben did lie to her because he thought he wouldn't believe her about where he came from.

"I-It's okay Ben, I forgive you, but please don't lie to me ever again okay?...," Velvet said, with a small smile on her face. "Okay, I will. How about I'll make it up to you by telling my true story about my origins and my watch here to make up for my dishonesty?" Ben asked his friend, as he gently hold out his left hand with the Ultimatrix.

"Sure thing, Ben I agree." Velvet happily said, as she softly grabbed his hand with both of her hands, indicating that she will finally understand her new friend's story. Velvet then said, "Ben, the reason that Ozpin sent me here is that he wants to speak with you. He wants you in his office for a discussion. I could only assume is it's about your gauntlet watch and your transformations."

"Yep, I believe so," Ben said, as he knew Ozpin has many questions of the universe he came from have very advanced Level 20 alien technology. Ben knew that the enemies he made won't find him here in Remnant, cause if that were happen he would put this universe in danger. But thank god, that Remnant's technology is still not to equivalent to Level 20 technology back in his universe.

"Okay, Velvet, how about this? Would you like to hear my story in Ozpin's office, and like to know about the history of my watch and all that?" Ben asked, hoping that she'll be ready to listen to his story.

Velvet couldn't believe her eyes and ears, her new friend is asking her to listen to his story, because he wanted to make it up to her for lying about his whereabouts.

"Of course Ben, I would be honored, to listen to your story," Velvet happily said. She was excited that Ben would tell the story of how his gauntlet watch allows him to transform into that blue monkey-like creature, Spidermonkey.

"Then, lets get started, lead the way," Ben said, as he went to get his scroll and lock his don't door. He then took Velvet's hand as both the rabbit girl and shapeshifter both walked together to the headmaster's office.

Ten Minutes Later...

Beacon Tower, Beacon Academy

5:20 P.M.

After ten minutes of walking from the dorms, Velvet and Ben arrived at the base of a huge prominent part of the academy buildings. The two of them were standing in front of a large tower in the middle of the school.

The tower is surmounted by a number of green spheres or lights. The tower they're standing in front of is Beacon Tower.

Velvet explained to Ben that at the base of Beacon Tower itself is the Cross Continental Transmit System. Acccording to the history books, that he read during his time with Velvet at her place, the CCTS was developed by the Kingdom of Atlas after the Great War to allow all the four kingdoms remain in communication. This allows the communication technology here in Remnant have instantaneous multimedia communication wirelessly over large distances including text, visuals and audio. The reason for creating this technological innovation was because of short-ranged communications within the boundaries of the four Kingdoms, plus in the past, messages have to be delivered physically as they tried to avoid the threat of Grimm.

He also discovered that each of the CCT primary relay towers are based in the four Huntsmen Academies; Beacon, Haven, Atlas, and Shade. However, he also read that if one of the towers goes offline, then the whole network shuts down, well only for maintenance. Maybe that's the reason of why these scrolls were created, along with these towers to use the internet of this universe.

Ben looked at his Ultimatrix, as he felt nervous ready to go to Ozpin's office. His hands were shaking a little, but Velvet noticed this and grabbed his hands, softly telling him not to be nervous. Ben smiled at her support for him, he is a little nervous that Ozpin wants the info about his universe, probably the Plumbers, the Galvans including Azmuth, and the technology levels of the technology in his universe.

As the two of went inside the base of Beacon Tower, Ben saw the interior of what the CCTS room looks like. Inside, he saw several video terminals as students were talking to a some sort of holographic AI operator. Ben assumed that these AI were in charge of helping people directing their messages to a specific location in Remnant.

He and Velvet then head towards to the elevator that would take them to Ozpin's office. As they went inside the elevator, Ben saw a panel of multiple elevator buttons, Velvet then pressed the square button that read's "Headmaster's Office", as the doors of the elevator closed.

Now, the rabbit Faunus, was kinda excited, she really can't believe Ben will now tell the whole truth of the watch gauntlet on his arm.

'Wow, I can't believe Professor Ozpin, told me that the new student who was enrolled here in the second day of the first semester, is Ben himself,' Velvet thought happily, as she looked at the boy next to her. Ben was trying hard not to get bored of the elevator ride because to due to the lack of elevator music.

Now the rabbit Faunus of Team CFVY, and her two professors will now be hearing the legend of the biggest superhero of his universe, right here in the world of Remnant as the screen went dark.
