(Taxi)
"And that's how Keven, Ben, Gwen, rook and I fought off an incursion invasion Alex finished currently he and Ruby were sitting in a taxi heading to an airship port to catch a ride to beacon.
To pass the time Alex told her about the day he became the Omni ranger and a few others about his adventures, a subject she was more than curious about...seriously she looked like she was about to have a spaz attack, her jaw just hung there while her eyes were wide as plates
"Y-you did that all on your first day?" she asked astounded while Alex simply shrugged
"They weren't that tough" Alex said recalling the mutant To'kustar or way bad as Ben put it discussing the megazord had just about blown Ruby's mind
"That's amazing! I mean fighting a giant alien with giant robots, that's the stuff you only hear about in comics." Ruby squealed
"I didn't do it alone, Ben and the others had my back" Alex
"I know but the things you've done are so cool that's what being a huntress can do for me... despite you know fighting aliens" Ruby said
"Hate to tell you, but being a hero isn't as glamorous as they say it is, people can get hurt " Alex warned Ruby gave a small nod
I know fighting monsters and bad guys is dangerous, and bad things can happen when you least expect it... trust me I know" Ruby sighed her usual upbeat attitude was gone as she stared out the window at the city passing by a pained look in her silver eyes and a slightly sad expression any one could see something bad had happened to her in the past
"So, you said your sister was going to beacon?" Alex asked trying to move on from the subject, the red clad reaper grasped onto the new subject, reverting back to her usual cheery self.
"Yeah, her name is Yang." Ruby began "She was two years ahead of me but now were in the same grade"
"How did she take the news?" Alex asked
"Oh, I already called her last night she's really happy for me and she seemed really eager to meet you" Ruby said
"I'm not surprised her little sister called and tells her she's coming to beacon with a guy she met that is going to raise a few red flags don't you think" Alex said Ruby was silent for a moment until it dawned on her
"Oh no what have I done!" Ruby said
Alex laughed slightly while looking out the window he saw what looked like flying airship that resembled a luxury cruise liner surrounding it were four aircraft similar to the one that they had tried to top last night
"That our ride" Alex asked
"Yep" Ruby said after calming down
"Listen Ruby its vital that you don't tell anyone about who I really am it could put them in allot of danger deal " Alex said his tone now serious
"Deal" Ruby said a stern look in her eye
/
It didn't take long for the two of them long to pass through the checkpoint and get aboard, to Alex's surprise, there weren't that many students on board which begged the question why it was meant to be so big?
"Do you see your sister yet" Alex asked
"She said she'd be here...what if she got stuck in traffic and didn't get here before we took off" Ruby said anxiously
"Don't worry I'm shore she's here" Alex assured her
"RUBY!" a voice called out the two turned to find a girl around 17 years old running towards them she had lilac eyes and long messy blond hair that could put gold to shame she wrapped Ruby in a massive bear hug squeezing the life out of her
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sisters going to beacon with me this is the best day ever!" Yang cheered squeezing harder
"Please...stop" Ruby chocked out
"But I'm so proud of you" Yang said
"Really sis it was nothing besides I had a little help" Ruby said gesturing to Alex Yang looked the guy up and down before smirking
"Well hello handsome." she said wiggling her eyebrows seductively, Alex leaned in a bit closer to Ruby so only she could hear him
"Is she always this foreword with guys" Alex asked while Yang just stared at him
"Yang!" Ruby yelled breaking the older girl out of her fantasy
"Anyway, what do you mean it was incredible" Yang said clearly excited for her sister" everyone at beacons going to think you're the bee's knees"
"I don't want to be the "bee's knees" ok I don't want to be any kind of knees I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees " Ruby said raising her voice slightly
"What's with you aren't you excited?" Yang asked
"Of course, I'm excited...I just... I got moved ahead to years I don't want people to think I'm special or anything" Ruby said
"But you are special" Yang said wrapping an arm around her sister but a news broad cast interrupted there moment
"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal roman Torchwick who continues to evade authority if you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the vale police department back to you Lisa" the anchorman said
"Thank you, Cyril, in other news this Saturdays, faunas civil rights protest turned dark when members of the white fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted..." The news anchor was cut off as a hologram of Glynda appeared and began addressing the new arrivals
"Hello and welcome to beacon..."
"Who's that" Yang asked
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."
"Oh" Yang said
"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of attending this prestigious academy. our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace and as future huntsmen and huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. you have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it's our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect our world" informed the image as the image faded the students came over to watch the view of the city.
"Wow" Ruby beamed as the three stared down at the city below Yang and Alex followed her admiring the view
"Now that's a view " Yang said Alex couldn't help but nod
"look you can see signal from up here" Ruby said
"I guess home isn't that far after all "Ruby said
"beacons our home now " Yang said
"Amen to that" Alex said
However, the moment was interrupted when a blond guy rushed past the three teens and towards the airships restrooms, his hand clamped over his mouth.
"And there goes the moment" Alex sighed, at least it had been nice while it lasted.
"I guess the view isn't for everyone " Yang said
"It was a nice moment while it lasted " Ruby said
"So, who do you think we're going to meet " Yang asked
"I just hope there better then vomit boy" Ruby added, the young girls nose twitched her eyes darting down her sisters form, she gagged, pinching her nose and backpaddling from the older girl.
"Oh, Yang gross" Ruby cried "You have puke on your shoes!"
"Ugh" Alex jumped back as Yang squealed, flicking her leg off to the side in an attempt to get rid of the bile clinging to her boots.
"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross " Yang chanted
"get away from me get away from me get away from me" Ruby yelled
/
After the airship finally landed at beacon academy, Alex rose up from his seat alongside Ruby and Yang, making her way towards the exit ramp. The blond guy from before rushing past them and towards the nearest trash can, before losing his lunch.
"There we go that's it let it all out" Alex said patting the poor guys back before heading off with his friends the three teens stared up at what lay before them at the end of a grey brick road was a huge castle like structure that had a very medieval feel to it.
"The view from vales got nothing on this" Yang said
"You can say that again" Alex added
Several other students who were disembarking walked past the trio giving Ruby the chance to marvel at their weapons
"Ooh! Ooh! sis! Alex! that kids got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" Ruby yelled grabbing her sisters arm and pointing at said weapons
Yang grabbed Ruby by the hood pulling her back earning a few ow's from the young reaper
"Easy their little sister there just weapons" Yang said
"Just weapons their extensions of ourselves there a part of us oh there so cool" Ruby swooned
"Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked
"She's got you their rubes " Alex said as Ruby pulled out her scythe cradling it like a teddy bear
"Of course, I'm happy with Crescent Rose I just really like seeing new one's it's like meeting new people but better " Ruby said just before Yang tugged Ruby's hood over her head
"Ruby come on why don't you try and make some friends of your own?" Yang asked
"But why would I need friends when I have you two" Ruby asked
'Huh here only 12 hours and I'm already making friends' Alex thought to himself
"Well... actually my friends are right here...gotta go catch up c'ya bye" Yang said darting of spinning Ruby silly
"Shit" Alex said as he lost his balance
"Wait where are you going aren't we supposed to go to our dorms...do we have dorms I don't know what I'm doing " Ruby said before falling into a pile of luggage
"Ok what just happened" Alex asked before an unknown voice spoke up
"What are you doing!" said a girl dressed in all white
"Your make ups fine don't go crazy on us miss..." Alex said
"Weiss, Weiss Schnee and this isn't make up you dolt " Weiss said
"Don't ever call me that...EVER!" Alex yelled glaring at her
"Uh...sorry..." Ruby said
"Sorry do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused" Weiss said
"Uhhh" Ruby said as she handed one of the luggage to Weiss
"Gimme that this is dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry" Weiss said
'Oh, great another spoiled rich kid' Alex thought to himself recalling a certain ten-year-old with a massive ego problem
"Uhh" Ruby said again rubbing the side of her head
"What are you braindead!?" Weiss said
'God, she is a bitch' Alex thought to himself
"Dust! fire, water, lightning, energy "she yelled wile waving the vile around spilling some of the continence witch Ruby breathed in
"Uhh miss" Alex said
"Uhhh"
"Are you even listening to me is any of this sinking in?" Weiss yelled
"Miss" Alex said again
"What do you have to say for yourself!?"Weiss demanded
"MISS!" Alex yelled
"WHAT!?"she snapped but it was too late Ruby sneezed causing an explosion of fire, ice and lightening
"*cough**cough* never mind" Alex said face palming
"Unbelievable this is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" Weiss said
"I'm really, really sorry"
"Ugh your complete dolt" Weiss said
"Don't call her that either" Alex said
"What are you even doing here aren't you a little young to be attending beacon this isn't your normal combat school you know where here to fight monsters " Weiss said
"Hey, I said I was sorry princess" Ruby yelled
"Yea can't you get that through that thick skull of yours?" Alex asked
"Don't you start with me" Weiss snapped at Alex
"Oh, its only just began bitch!" Alex retorted
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!" Weiss yelled glaring daggers at Alex
"a bitch because you talk like one act like one and are one any questions princess" Alex said as the two-glared back
"It's Heiress actually" said a voice
The group turned to find a girl with raven black hair and amber eyes holding a book and Weiss missing vile.
"Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world" she said
"Finally, some recognition" Weiss said
Alex leaned a little closer to Ruby "she's still a bitch " he whispered
Ruby nodded while the girl continued " the same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable businesses partners"
"What... how dare... the nerve of. Uhh" Weiss grunted before snatching the vile from her and marched off
"I promise ill make this up to you" Ruby yelled to her
"No rubes you don't have to" Alex said
She sighed "I guess were not the only ones having a bad first day"
"Anyway, thanks for..."Alex turned to find the same raven-haired girl walking away without saying a word
"Ok...bye then" Alex muttered while Ruby slopped down to the ground in sorrow "welcome to beacon..."
The two teens sighed until the same blond guy from the air ship came up offering Ruby a hand
"Hey I'm Jaunee"
"Ruby and that's Alex" she said taking his hand before she snickered
"Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?" she asked Alex couldn't help but laugh.
XXXXX
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem then people let on" Jaunee said
"Look, I'm sorry vomit boy was the first thing that came to mind" Ruby said
"Oh, yea what if I called you crater face" Jaunee said
"Hey! that explosion was an accident " Ruby exclaimed earning a small chuckle from Alex.
"Well the names Jaune Arc! short sweet rolls off the tongue lady love it" Jaunee said
'God this guy need some serious help with women.' Alex thought, if he tried some line like that on any of the girls he knew back home, he doubted he'd make it far.
"Do they?" Ruby asked skeptically.
"They will well I hope they will... I mean my mom always says that... never mind " Jaunee sighed out dejectedly.
'Yep this kid defiantly needs help' Alex thought
"So, I got this" Ruby said as she pulls out crescent rose the blade planting itself into the concrete
"Whoa! is that a scythe?" Jaune asked backpaddling d
"It's also a customizable, high-impact sniper rifle. "Ruby said
"A wha-?" Jaune asked
"It's also a gun" Ruby said pulling back the slide
"Oh, that's cool" Jaune said
"So, what've you got?" Ruby asked
"Oh-uh I got this sword" Jaune said
"Ooooooh" Ruby said
"Nice" Alex said examining the blade, despite the small scuffs and scratches across the blade, the sword was in good condition, it may not have been as flashy as some of the weapons he'd seen the other students carrying, but it would get the job done.
"Yea I've got a shield too!" Jaunee said
"So, what do they do?" Ruby asked
Jaunee fumbled around with it for a moment almost dropping it a few times before saying "well...the shield gets smaller... so... when I'm tired of carrying it... I can just put it away"
"But wouldn't it just way the same?" Ruby asked
"Yea it does" he said with some disdain
"Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard designing it " Ruby said drooling over her Crescent Rose
"Wait you made that?" Jaunee and Alex asked
"Of course, all students at signal forged their own weapons. didn't you make yours" Ruby asked
"It's a hand-me-down my great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war" Jaune said
"...sounds more like a family heirloom to me! well I like it! not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days " Ruby said
"Yeah, it must be an honor to carry your family legacy" Alex said
"Yea the classics" Jaune said sounding a bit dejected
"So, why'd you help us out back there, in the courtyard?" Ruby asked
"Eh why not, my mom always says strangers are just friends you haven't met yet" Jaune said
"Well that's definitely a way of looking at it" Alex said
"Hmm hey where are we going?" Ruby asked
The trio looked around finding they were lost "god dammit" Alex remarked
"Oh, I dunno, I was following you guys. you think there might be a directory? maybe a food court? some sort of recognizable landmark is uh... is that a no.?" Jaune asked
"It's a no "Ruby and Alex said
