Kamen Rider Forge Remnant

Craft 2: Arrival Part 2

We are Taiso… Beacon Academy ferry port

I step off the car, walking around the car to the trunk. I reach down and open the trunk. I grab my backpack and stand up. "I mean it's nice that you can lift so much… but honestly, how much do you lift?" I ask Artoria. She doesn't look ripped, so how can she carry so much? "For the last time, I'm not a Gorilla!" Artoria exclaims, shoving me, I hop to the side trying to balance myself. Nonononono~ Whaa~! I drop onto my back and on top of my backpack. "Hurgh!" I grunt trying to stand up… I'm stuck.

Artoria:(snicker) And I guess I can assume you're a Turtle?

Taiso:(gorans) Laugh it up(struggles), now help me up!

Artoria: I almost don't want you. You look cute like this.

Taiso:(looks at Artoria) Oh, I'm glad you approve.(shifts left and right) Come on help me up!

Artoria lets out a sigh as she walks up to me. "Right, right sorry." Artoria said, walking over pushing me onto my belly before shelps me up. "Now, we have to hurry or else we will miss-" Just as Artoria said that, we hear a loud horn sound off. "The Airship is going to set off soon. All passengers please enter the Airship now." The announcer said, I turned to Artoria who stared at me. "Run?" I ask, Artoria nods and the two of us book it to the airship. Everyone else is already onboard. We hop on, as just as I enter the doorway the door closes. My backpack is caught on the closing doors…

Artoria:(looks back) Umm… You-

Taiso:(struggles) HELP MEH~!

Artoria:(holding back laughter) R-Right! Heh, Hold on!

I put out my hands and Artoria takes them and pulls me into the ship, the door properly closes behind. I let out a sigh as I straightened my back. "What is with today?" I said, groaning. Artoria stares at my hands while holding them. "Uh… Artoria?" I ask, Artoria continues to stare. "Artoria!" I shout snapping Artoria out of her daze. "Ah! S-Sorry." Artroria said backing up, her face starting to burn a tomato red. I can feel my own face warm up a few degrees.

Taiso:(sighs) … You okay? You seem pretty spooked.

Artroia:(nods) Y-Yes... Don't worry is all.

Taiso: Uhh~... Okay?... Guess I'll take a seat.

Artoria:(in thought) His hands… They were so cold. Like ice… Is his body just cold like that?

Taiso:(looks at Artoria) Uh… Artoria? Are you really okay?

"Nothing to worry about." Artoria said, sitting down next to me. Hmm, her face then was odd… "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" A long haired blond woman exclaimed hugging her black and red haired girl. "Well some people are quite excited." I said aloud. Artoria nods as she scans the room looking at the different faces coming to Beacon.

Artoria: Well, they are going to a place only seen from a distance. Let me assure you, you're sure to see many different types of faces at Beacon Academy.

Taiso:(nods) Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.

News reporter: … The robbery was led by nefarious criminal, Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you Lisa.

Artoria:(unfazed face) Yet, trouble always seems to be everywhere…(sighs) Hey, Taiso… What is your opinion on Faunus?

Taiso:(looks at Artroia) That's a little out of left field… But, I don't mind them. Honestly speaking, I've been pretty comfortable with them for a good chunk of my life.

Artoria:(looks at Taiso) Oh? Why is that?

Taiso:(crosses arms) Well, back home. And more specifically back at the Forge, my Master always took in anyone who needed help. No matter where they came from. Whenever others would ask about that he'd always tell them. "To the flame, we are craftsmen and women, no more distinction besides that."

Artoria: I see… What is the name of the Shop you came from?

Taiso: What? You never read my file?(Artoria shrugs) Hmm, whatever. I come from the Hephaestus Foundries.

Artoria:(smiles) No wonder! You came from one of their forges, that Legendary family of weapon smiths.(Taiso nods) That's wonderful!... Ah, the introduction should be beginning.

Taiso:(raises eyebrow) Introduction?

Huntress Hologram:(appears) Hello, and welcome to Beacon!

Taiso: Who is She?

Artoria: Give it a sec.

Huntress Hologram: My name is Glynda Goodwitch.

Taiso: Oh.

Glynda: You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious Academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsman and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. But it's not just hunters who keep the peace, it's the many people working behind the scenes that will let Huntsman and Huntresses like you stay at the top of your game. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world.

The Hologram fades away, as the sightline of the city is clearly visible. "Wow… It's beautiful up here." I said looking out the windows. "Yes… It really is." Artoria said watching the city… "Hmm?" I look to my right to see a blond hair man about to barf. "Huh, guess the views not for everyone." I said unhooking myself, I reached into my bag and pulled out an empty plastic bag that once held a small takeout lunch I had eaten on the boat. "Excuse me a sec." I said walking over to the man. I tapped him on the shoulder and handed him the bag.

Taiso:(smiles) Here you go.

Man:(takes bag) Bluargeh~!

Taiso:(slowly steps back) You can keep that bag… Don't forget to throw it away! For everyone's sake…

I sat back down. "You beat me to it." Artoria said, holding out a handkerchief to me. "... Really?" I asked her, she shrugs. "It's all I had on hand." Artoria said with a shrug, then she noticed something and pointed. "Op, we should get ready. We are almost at Beacon." Artoria said as she stood up. I let out a quick breath, before picking myself back up. Seeing out the window I see the border of Vale, atop the large cliff face is Beacon Academy itself, just peeking out right behind it, I see the Crown of Swords. A man-made cliff edge with 9 large blades adorned across it, with the 10th snapped off. Our ship lands and we are let off the ship. As the students all funnel out, I'm left struggling out with my large backpack. Walking into the main campus area, the campus is breathtaking…

Taiso: Wow…

Artoria:(smiles) Yeah, that's pretty much everyone's reaction when they arrive here. So let me be the first to tell you… Welcome to Beacon Academy.

Taiso:(looks at students) Look at all the people and types of weapons, it amazes me everytime the creativity of people.(oogles weapon) Ooh~! That one is Bow Blade combo, and that one is an Axe Gatling weapon, and so much more!...(rubbing hands together) Oooh the weapons the wea-(hit over the head) Ow!

Artoria:(sighs) And you need to keep your wild desire for weapons in check.(walks in front of Taiso) You are going to be among professionals you need to keep yourself in che-

Suddenly a group of people speed past Artoria making her spin around in circles and spin down the road before face planting into the ground. "Y-You okay?" I ask walking over. "Uh-Huh..." Artoria said, her eyes spinning. "Wh-What the hell was that just now?" Artoria asks slowly getting back up. I look in the direction of where the crowd ran.

Taiso:(kneels down to Artoria) I think that a crowd of people are running to the main building.(puts out hand) I think I saw a long haired blond woman among them, the same one we saw on the ship.

Artoria:(helped up) Well… Aren't they ex-

Just then an explosion goes off, Artoria and I quickly look at the blast area only to see a pair of ladies. A red haired girl with hood and a snow white haired girl. "W-Was that an explosion?" I asked. "Y-Yeah, a dust explosion let's see what happened?" Artoria said as we ran over to the two.

Snow White is a pale-skinned young woman with pale blue eyes and long white hair with an off-center ponytail and pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara. She stands at 5 feet 3 inches in heels, and has a scar which runs vertically down her left eye and face. She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this, she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest. She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled, and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back.

Red Hood is a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and neck-length black hair with red tips. She stands at 5 feet 1 inch. She wears a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, over which is a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a matching skirt with red lining. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver buckle on her wide black belt, which is slung around her hips on an angle. Attached to her belt are a pocket and a row of bullets.

Snow White:(stomps foot on ground) This is unbelievable! This is exactly the type of thing I was worried about!

Red hood:(poking fingers together) I'm really, really sorry!

Artoria: What is going on- Weiss? Is that you?

Weiss:(looks at Artoria) Artoria? Oh thank goodness someone with sense. This buffoon over here just blew me up!

I look down at the crates next to her. "I think that it's less your problem and more you shaking bottles of Dust in this girl's face." I pointed out, pointing at the bottles of dust sitting in the crates. Weiss looks at me with an angry face. "And you are?" Weiss asks… Uhh… I don't know if I should respond or not. "His name is Taiso, a blacksmith joining the Academy Today. Introduce yourself as well." Artoria said, gesturing to me.

Weiss:(glairs at Taiso) Weiss Schnee. A… Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Taiso: Schnee? Oh you're part of the Schnee Family.

Red hood: What is that? Some Kind of Princess title?

?: Heiress Actually. Weiss Schnee Heiress to the Schnee dust company. One of the Largest producers of energy propellant in the world.

I turn around to see a black haired woman with a ribbon on her head.

Black Ribbon is a fair-skinned young woman with wavy black hair and amber eyes. She stands at 5 feet 4 inch. She wears a black, buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo. She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a black detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose, black scarf is wrapped around her neck, and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair. She often keeps her weapon attached to the magnetic backpack when she is not using it. A black ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head.

Taiso: Wait, like the company that has their mine blown up every other week?

Weiss:(groans) No… The Helicarrier Mines were once my family's yes, but it was transferred over to another.

?:(walking over) It was transferred over to my company's ownership. We've been making efforts to fix that… Issue.

Artoria: Alborz…

Alborz:(smiles) Greeting, Artoria, Weiss. How are you all?
