Golden Beacon's Two New Guardians
They couldn't believe this is happening to them right now, but both best friends knew better than to turn away from the reality that is right in front of them and also knew their lives are never going to be the same again.
Sun Wukong and Jaune Arc are standing speechless through the front gate and on the doorstep of the ancient lost city that was said to have been destroyed centuries ago and consider a fairy tale, the myth that most people would consider it to be not real in the first place.
The Golden Beacon city.
"Not a single word, I would've figured the monkey boy would be more excited than this." Chel commented, pointing her thumb at Sun.
"That just shows how excited these boys are, though I did not think we would have to drag them into this secret war." Glynda worried.
"Hey girl, if Ozpin didn't sacrifice his life to make sure these boys get here then he knows they're our only hope." Chel said gentle hit Glynda's shoulder.
"I know, now come along boys. We have to see the elder about unlocking your aura." Glynda said.
The boys are still in their shocked state as if their whole nerve system has been shut down and couldn't move a muscle, so Chel decided to help them "wake up" by smacking on their back making them stumble a bit which knocked their sense back into them.
"You boys done daydreaming?" Chel joked.
"If this is a dream then I don't want to wake up!" Sun excited.
"It's still hard to imagine that something so large like this city had been hidden for so long." Jaune pointed out as the boys began walking following the two older women.
"It's all thanks to the barrier that kept our city out of sight for 800 years until now." Chel said.
"Whoa!" Sun looked around seeing the whole ancient city himself.
Everything appears to be old-school tradition like the people are wearing some cloth as the female wear two pieces and the male only wears one though they all wear shorts while most of the males have shirts. There are some stores like the ones at home or the mall though a little smaller as they have the basic things like clothes, food, and other things people need for their everyday life, and just like Glynda said they have the advance tech with them little at the boys hometown though they look little more advance than the ones back home.
As the four walks together, the people around them are starting to look at the two new boys whispering to each other wondering what they're here for and notice Glynda is with them too.
"Hey, is that Glynda?" A man asked.
"Oh god, it's the Good Witch of Oz!" A woman shocked.
"Our little witch has come home!" An older woman cheered.
And soon everyone gathers the four to greet Glynda, welcoming back one of their own as they thought they would never see her again after leaving the city with Ozpin after forty years and cheer for her return.
"Yes, everyone, it is good to see you all again, but I must take these boys to the elder quickly." Glynda said as she uses her semblance to move everyone apart to make a path.
"LOOK OUT BELOW?!" A girl shouted.
Everyone looks up to see a young girl falling from the sky with a wooden plank as she screams from the top of her lungs bracing herself for the crash landing and pain with it, but it never came. She slowly opens her eyes to find herself floating in the air a few feet to the ground along with the plank.
"I see you're still doing your extreme stunt as always, Nora Valkyrie." Glynda sighed.
"Whoa, Cranky Glynda! When did you get back?" The girl named Nora asked.
Nora is a young woman with fair skin, short orange hair and turquoise eyes. She wears a pair of pink fingerless gloves, a white shirt with a heart shape hole above her cleavage, a shorter, detached white sleeve on her left arm. Over the shirt, she wears a zippered navy blue bomber jacket with a damaged print of her emblem visible on the back and pink stripes along the sleeves. The pink bands of the jacket tighten on her upper arms. Her skirt is slightly longer with pleats that create some flair and two wide belt loops at the waist for her matching belt. She wears knee-high pink socks just visible above her calf-length boots, which are white with pink laces and black mid-wedges, soles and tips. Noticeably, her hair is now shoulder-length. She also has pink eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her eyes. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"And you're still calling me that, though I'm not surprise for to do this in a time of need." Glynda said, hiding a small smile that only Jaune notice.
"That was awesome, Nora! I want to do that!" Another girl coming to them.
"And the other problem child is here too." Glynda said.
"Yang check it out! Glynda is back!" Nora shouted.
The girl named Yang a fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and bright golden hair worn loose that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. She wears a tan jacket with orange lining and gold edging, unzipped halfway to show an orange crop top. The coat has darker brown short sleeves, a thick collar that completely encircles her neck, and two long gold-trimmed rectangular tails. She also wears fitted black pants. Around her hips and over the tails of her coat is a brown belt, which has two pieces of dark brown material trimmed in gold attached to it. The first covers from her left hip to the back of the belt and is folded over the belt, and the second is attached from the right hip and almost around to the other piece of material. She wears knee high brown boots with gold caps on the heel and toe, with the heel cap attaching to a gold strap across the front of her ankle, and a gold zipper on the upper half of the front of the boots. A single small buckled strap is on the upper outside of her boots, and a purple bandana tied around her left knee. A pair of black fingerless gloves with long brown cuffs reaching to mid forearm complete the outfit. Breasts sizes: GG-cup.
"(Wow, she's cute!)" Jaune thought complimented.
"No way, you're actually back!" Yang shocked exciting.
"Yes, Yang Xiao Long and I see you're doing well over the years." Glynda commented.
"Totally, forty years of training but still have the appearance of an awesome 19-year-old woman!" Yang flexed her muscles as Glynda rolls her eyes and Chel giggles.
"Anyway, the barrier suddenly went down. What happened?" Yang asked as the people also started to question it too, they feared that something happened to Ozpin knowing he must've died as everyone knows this.
"That is why I'm here, I must speak with the elder about this now." Glynda said, not wanting to talk about it in front of all these people.
"Then you're in luck, the elder has been expecting you." A boy said walking to her.
He's a young man 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 wears a sleeveless tailcoat with black and silver trimming. Under it, he wears a black, sleeveless turtleneck with red, tasseled ropes over the hips, pants that get tighter below the knees, and calf-high open-toed sandals. From his middle finger to his biceps run gradient pink-to-black detached sleeves ending in metal armbands.
"It's good to see you again, Master Goodwitch." The boy bowed.
"Hello, Lie Ren, you and these two have grown a lot stronger." Glydna smiled.
"Uh, their names sound like they're from different countries." Jaune whispered to himself, he remembers Oobleck mentioning that the ancient traveled all over the world, that must be why.
"Hey there, in case you're wondering I'm Sun Wukong and this my best friend, Jaune Arc!" Sun introduced himself and Jaune.
"Uh, hello…" Jaune greeted nervous.
"Umm, they don't look like they're from here." Nora narrowed her eyes at the boys.
"That's because they are from the outside sent here by Ozpin." Glynda revealed.
"Really, but why isn't the big man here himself?" Nora asked.
"That's one of the reasons why we need to see the elder." Glynda said.
"Then follow me."Ren said, escorting them to the elder.
(Up the temple)
"Sheesh, why couldn't you guys build an escalator on these stairs?" Sun exhausted a little.
"Then how would you get the thunder-thighs?" Nora asked.
"Thunder… what?" Jaune confused of what the orange hair girl said.
"That just her way of saying strong legs." Ren explained.
"Man, it feels like we've been walking 50 miles." Sun complained.
"5 miles actually, and no need to worry anymore because we're here." Ren pointed that they're at the top to the temple.
"Finally! Take that stairs!" Sun yelled at the stairs.
"Silly-billy, stairs can't talk." Nora giggled.
"Well, it's about time you got here." An elder woman's voice complained as she walks out of the temple.
She's an elderly woman with dark skin and long silver hair, which she wears in a single braid down her back. She is of small stature and appears to be hunched over. She wears a full-length dress in the traditional Tabasco style, consisting of a dark blue top with full sleeves and skirt comprised of alternating light and dark blue layers. In addition to her dress, she wears thick brown gloves and a heavy blue cloak trimmed at the edges with a pattern of white, hollow triangles on a light blue background. A similar white and blue trim is around the neck of the cloak. The cloak is secured to her shoulders with ornate white pauldrons. She also wears high-tech googles over her eyes. She holds a walking stick comprised of a natural wooden shaft terminating in a smooth, narrow section and metal foot with a purple band around its middle. Her walking stick is topped by an ornate blue skull connected by means of a thick metal band with a purple ring at its center. On the front of the connecting band is a large, blunt protrusion located directly below the skull's mouth.
"Elder Maria, it is good to see you again." Glynda bowed.
"I'm a little angry that neither you nor Ozpin have even bothered to write us a letter or call us through the little communications we gave you, but I'm glad your safe." Maria angered at first, but then smile.
"If safe you mean failing to protect the Guardian Ozpin then you did a wonderful job." A woman said sarcastically walking out of the temple.
"Still discreet as always, Cinder Fall." Glynda said.
The woman named Cinder has air skin, ashen-black hair and bright amber eyes. She wears a black eyepatch that has straps that run both above and below her right eye. She sports a black tank top and shorts that are mostly covered with a black cloak worn over her left arm, all of them having gold trimmings. Her blue feather accessory is over the right side of her chest. She also has a black and gold band over white bandages, a black band on her right wrist, a glove for her left hand and black knee-high laced, and heeled boots. Cinder also has two earrings. Breasts sizes: F-cup. H-cup.
"Well, one of us has to be." Cinder rolled her eyes and walk closer to Glynda then her face forms a gentle smile.
"It's good to see you again, Glynda." Cinder held out her hand.
"Same here, old friend. I can tell you've been through a lot yourself." Glynda accepted the hand and looking at Cinder in a new outfit since the last time she saw her.
"Yes, believe it or not, the Grimm are getting stronger and more dangerous than we feared." Cinder informed as she held her left arm.
"Then we better hurry and appointed our two new Guardians." Maria said, shocking Jaune and Sun.
"Wait, you already knew?" Jaune asked.
"Ozpin send me a telepathic message in my head before he died, still the brave man we knew and will never be forgotten." Maria said, taking a moment of silent to prey for Ozpin's soul safe travel to Heaven.
"So, that's why the barrier is down." Yang said sadly as the other young fighters look sad too.
"I'm a little worried about this, we never have two Guardians before, only one." Cinder pointed out.
"That's true, but Ozpin risked his very life protecting these boys from danger and I believe Salem does not know about them, yet. And we're going to train them for the battle that has yet to come." Maria hoped that the last message from Ozpin saying these young boys will finally put an end to Salem. Let's hope he's right.
"Now, let's get this over with, I maybe over a hundred-years-old but I'm don't have all day." Maria snapped as she walks back into the temple.
"She's sure full of rainbows and sunshines." Sun said sarcastically.
Everyone follows the old lady into the temple heading for the large room where the ritual for the becoming a guardian will take place. Maria first unlock the boys' aura like what Glynda told them from her story, much to everyone's surprises they have a large amount of aura though Jaune's is a little bigger than Sun's, and she told them to stand at the center to begin the ritual. They see Cinder standing at one of the four circles outside the bigger one and three other women soon enter as the boys began to realize they must be Maiden of Seasons. Jaune notice one of them looks just like Yang, but older with black hair and red eyes. Then the Maidens all glow of different colors and light shines beneath the boys' feet and shot of a pillar of light toward the sky and a new barrier is forged much to the people's joy.
The light fade from the room and the four Maidens stopped glowing too.
"It is done." Maria announced softly.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Sun excited.
"I almost wet myself there." Jaune muttered.
"I'll admit, I too was worried about performing the ritual for two Guardians, but it looks like Ozpin's hunch on you two went off on a high note." Maria confessed.
"So, when we get to fight the monsters?" Sun asked while throwing punches into the air.
"Easy there kid, you first need training to see what you're capable of in a fight before we can let you fight any Grimm." Maria mentioned.
"Well, huh, I… never actually been in a fight before." Jaune confessed.
"Don't worry, I'll try to go easy on you." Yang smirked which made Jaune feel scared.
"I got your back, dude, like always! As long as we're together, nothing can stop us!" Sun declared as he wraps his arm on Jaune's shoulder cheering him up a bit.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Jaune and Sun are now officially the new Co-Guardians of the Gold Beacon thus bringing back the barrier that protects it and its people, but they'll need to get stronger in order to keep it that way as the boys will receive some hard training from the other warriors of Beacon and will discover their Semblances along the way. Let just hope this doesn't go over their heads, especially for Sun.
And in case you're wondering, Yang is not Ruby's sister in this story, or is she?
