Chapter 2

beacon courtyard,

looking through data part 1.

disclaimer: I do not own rwby or any other games/shows mentioned in this fanfic.

As I get off the airbus, I notice that Yang and Ruby are standing out in the courtyard in front of the school. I walk up to them and quietly listen. Apparently Ruby is going nuts over how many different types of weapons there are. While getting pulled back she says;

Ruby: "Ow, ow."

Yang: "Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons."

Ruby: "Just weapons?" she replied incredulously. "They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! They're so cool!"

Yang: "Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon. Aren't you happy with it?"

their conversation fades out as I look around, then I tense up as I feel like im being watched. It feels like a few minutes pass. All of a sudden I feel my shoulder being shook, as Yang is now currently trying to pull me out of my trance.

Yang: "Hey man."

Me: "Huh, whoa." I say, as I nearly loose my balance.

Yang: "You alright."

Me: "Y-yeah, I-I'm fine." I pause to look around as I see a glimpse of the color lilac, as it disappears behind a group of people.

…..

A.L. POV a few minutes ago

Well I guess I better sit down over here and search for possible teammates. I think as I pull out my custom laptop, and sit down on a bench. I boot it up as people start walking out of the airbus. Ok time to start looking at auras. I start a few passes and nothing seems to pop out at me until my scan passes by one person in particular. Whoa this ones aura reading is through the roof. I think as the possibilities run through my head. Well then I guess I'll see you later.

…...

Me: "I just felt like someone was watching me." I say, as I shudder.

Yang: "Okay." She says, a little surprised. "Well, why don't you guys go and make some new friends."

Ruby: "But why would I need friends when I have you two?"

Yang: "Well... Actually, my friends are here now, gotta go catch up, 'Kay, c'ya, bye." She says, as she pretty much speeds off with them

Ruby: "Wait! Where are you going? Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? … Do we have dorms? I don't know what im doing..." She says as she spins and nearly falls back into a cart full of luggage. Thanks to me catching her in the nick of time, that doesn't happen.

Me: "Ruby are you okay?" I ask, wondering why yang took off like that.

Ruby: "Y-yeah." She says, recovering from spinning so much.

"What are you doing?" Someone new asks.

Me: I look over to the source of the voice. "Well if you haven't noticed I'm helping my friend."

NP: "Well that could've gone worse."

Me: "A bit rude aren't we." I say as I wheel the cart to her.

NP: "Gimme that! This is dust, mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry."

Me: "You may not want to shake that." I say, noticing the small cloud of dust coming from the small jar that she pulled from one of the suitcases.

NP: looks at the jar and tightens the cap. Calms down a little. "Thank you for that." She says through clenched teeth.

I walk off, and here the name Weiss Schnee said as I wander a bit.

A few minutes later.

Hmm I wonder who that flash of lilac belonged to. I think as I continue to explore the area. As if on cue, I again have the feeling of being watched. I turn around and there's the source; a person in white and lilac gear, looking at their laptop with interest, I sneak up to them and ask; "What ya doing?" in a slightly sarcastic tone. And she jumps almost two feet off the ground.

NP: "What the heck, don't sneak up on people like that." She says slightly annoyed.

Me: I think for a moment. "Well, I don't want to loose my stealth skills." I respond, as She recomposes herself.

NP: (sigh) "Well, I figured you would do something eventually, considering how much aura you have." She says, as she smooths out her coat.

Me: "Oh by the way, names Hurryon." I say, as I put my hand out for a shake.

NP: "Arlina." She says, as she shakes my hand.

Me: "You wanna head to the.. uh." I pause for a moment. "Where are we supposed to go again?" I ask, getting a confused look from Arlina.

Arlina: "I... don't remember." She says still confused. "Maybe we should pick a random direction." She says, pointing at a walkway that wraps around the school.

We go in said direction and find Ruby headed the same way. And I over hear her talking about a mishap that happened on the airbus. as we catch up to them, Jaune is talking about something.

Jaune: "...I hope they will... I mean, my mom always says that... never mind."

Me: "Hello."

Jaune: "Hi." He says, as he sort of waves.

Ruby: "So I got this thing." she says, as she pulls out her weapon, and it transforms.

Jaune: "Whoa! Is that a scythe!"

Ruby: "It's also a customizable, high impact sniper rifle."

Jaune: "-A wha-" He says confused.

Ruby: She cocks it. "Its also a gun."

Jaune: "Oh. That's cool!" He says. "And what do you have?" He asks, looking at me.

Me: "I have these." I say as I reach behind me and grab my gauntlets and sword/axe/auto shotgun.

Jaune: "Whoa! That looks complex." He says pointing at my bladed weapon.

Me: "You have no idea." I say, gaining a small smirk from Ruby. "what do you have?" I ask Jaune.

Jaune: "-Oh- uh, I got this sword."

Ruby: "-Oooooooh!"

Jaune: "Yeah, I've got a shield too!"

Ruby: "So what do they do?" She asks, as she touches his shield. And Jaune slightly panics as he tries to catch it, as it is switching between shield and sheath several times.

Jaune: Finally catching it he says "Well... the shield gets smaller... so... when I get tired of carrying it... I can just put it a way."

Ruby: "But wouldn't it weigh the same?"

Jaune: "Yeah it does." He says, slightly depressed.

Ruby: "Well, hehe, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard designing it." She says, a little embarrassed.

Jaune: "Wait. You made that?" He asks a little surprised.

Ruby: "Of course! All students at signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you make yours?" She asks Jaune.

Me: "I made mine." I interject. All of them look at me with deadpanned faces, Jaune a little less so than Arlina and Ruby.

Jaune: "Its a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war."

Ruby: "...Sounds more like a family heirloom to me! Well I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days."

Jaune: "-Yeah, the classics."

Ruby: "-So why'd you help me out back there, in the courtyard?"

Jaune: "-Eh, why not? My mom always says 'Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet'."

Ruby: "Hmmm... Hey, Where are we going?" She asks Jaune.

Jaune: "-Oh, I dunno, I was following you." Jaune and Ruby look at me expecting me to know.

Me: "What." I say as we stop walking. Then I turn to Arlina who is now staring off into space. "Arlina." I say, snapping her back to reality.

Arlina: "Huh, hmm, wha." She says. looking at us confused.

Me: "Do you know where we're going?"

Arlina: "What, no." She says, sternly.

Me: "What about your laptop?"

Arlina: "Oh, shoot. I forgot that I was mapping this place out." She says pulling out her futuristic looking laptop. "Hold on a sec." She says, as she takes it out of sleep mode and folds the screen down so its backside rests on the keyboard.
