Here's the third chapter.
Enjoy.
Welcome to Beacon
Masamune lost the count on how many times he sighted when he was in the device named Bullhead. Last week, the four warriors were given a place in Beacon, even if Glynda was against Ujiyasu and his habit to smoke. But again, the new thing they discover with the five strangers, was firstly the fact that they didn't have their Aura unlocked, and then the lightning bolts showed in the footage wasn't a Semblance. This led to enroll Zhuge Liang as a teacher and the four teens as students. And after a discussion between Ozpin and Ujiyasu ,where Ujiyasu told him a fake back story, where they were sent here by someone after drugging them, and that they were important people that were defeated in battle. Of course, half of it was true, they were important and defeated in battle, but they weren't drugged against their will. They had to let Ozpin unlock their Aura, as this was a very important thing if they were to be accepted in Beacon. He also noted that each one of them had a different aura; Masamune had a very troubled Aura, he thought that he may ask him later, Sasaki Kojiro had a dark and bloodied Aura, a living killing machine, in other words, a dangerous person and someone he needs to keep an eye on, Ujiyasu had an easy going Aura, that was maybe someone who could help him to control Raven's daughter, they maybe have more things in common than he knew, Hanbei had a strange Aura, innocent and calculating, that boy was a mystery to him, He needed to keep an eye on him, the last one was Zhuge Liang, a powerful Aura, he could rival the four Seasonal Maidens all combined, and that feat of power was something that's best to keep friendly rather than an enemy. All of that reminded him of a certain team he had in the past. Next, the warriors had to learn the rules of Beacon and laws of Vale, those laws and rules were for the weak, as they kill anyone they come across in the battlefield, and they were living in a place where it was kill or be killed, so that was hard for them. Ozpin also asked them to let him see their weapons, he was smiling all the time he was holding them and when he asked about them, Ujiyasu said that was a secret that they vowed to carry to their tomb. That was a well played card from the Lion of Sagami. And thanks to Ozpin and his contacts, they get fake IDs and Scrolls. And finally it was the day.
"We are finally going to meet up with the four maiden we're supposed to protect" said Ujiyasu as he looked at the view from the Bullhead "I wonder what kind of persons they are…"
"I feel like I might have a problem" said Hanbei awkwardly "Everyone is so tall…"
"Don't sweat it" said Masamune with an annoyed look at the other passengers "People are going to be more occupied with me"
Hanbei laughed nervously and said "I think that you just look a bit more intimidating rather than someone easy to pick on"
"Maybe, But at least you are normal" sighed Masamune as he took a look at his wings.
"I don't think that's really bad" replied Hanbei with a smile "I mean, you are half dragon which means that you can fly without any help… A-and I've heard that you've earned the name One-Eyed Dragon with so many accomplishment"
"That name means nothing now" said Masamune before gazing at the window "Now I am just Date Masamune"
"At least you don't have every girl on you" complained Kojiro as he crossed his arms "They are so annoying"
"For a guy you don't look so eager to have fangirls" replied Ujiyasu as he took a smoke from his pipe "But you also need a girl in your life"
"To slow me down? No thank you" said Kojiro before drawing his sword "I will only accept someone who can fight with beauty and dexterity like me" 'Why do I feel like I've seen someone like that before'
"Too demanding" said Masamune before sighing "But at least you can choose. As the heir of the Date clan, I am supposed to have an important bride, and she must be the daughter of someone who has a lot of influence in politics"
"I know that feeling" added Ujiyasu "But once you learn about her you can accept her as she is"
"What about you little Hanbei" said Kojiro while looking at the boy, who is supposed to have fifteen according to his ID "What's your experience with women"
"What do you mean?" he asked innocently, shocking the three others.
"You didn't had a bride?" asked Masamune before being distracted by the screen showing an orange haired man with green eyes called Roman Torchwick, described as a criminal and a very dangerous one, before passing to the Faunuses.
"I didn't had a chance" answered Hanbei "Working with Oda Nobunaga was a task that demanded a lot of time, not to mention that I had to take care of my sister"
"Black hair, yellow eyes, a cute face and uses a pair of claws as weapons?" asked Ujiyasu, surprising the boy.
"How do you know that?" asked Hanbei.
"She was the one who leaded the soldier who attacked Odawara" answered Ujiyasu with a chuckle.
"I've met her too" said Masamune "She was standing with Hideyoshi Toyotomi when I surrendered"
Before that they could continue their conversation, the image of Glynda appeared.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon" she said "My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among the 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 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 with the knowledge and the training to protect our world" with those last words, the image disappeared.
"Talk about the view said Ujiyasu" while looking at the city "If I get the chance, maybe I'll get one of those things and do a lot of tours just to really appreciate the view"
"That's really selfish" commented Masamune with an annoyed tone before that a blonde boy having some problems with the bullhead past over them "What a welcoming sight" growled Masamune as the three others laughed.
The time passed as the Bullhead landed, Kojiro decided to go to the main hall and wait the others, Ujiyasu decided to wait with Kojiro since there's nothing better to do Hanbei and Masamune decided to walk a little while continuing they started in the Bullhead.
"You were saying that my sister was standing next to Lord Hideyoshi" began Hanbei "But what happened afterward?"
Masamune sighed and said "A civil war broke between Mitsunari Ishida and Ieyasu Tokugawa after the death of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Ieyasu wanted to take the throne for himself, deciding that he was a better Shogun, and Mitsunari opposed him, wanting Hideyoshi's son to become Shogun. Then the Eastern Army and the Western Army came, led by Ieyasu and Mitsunari. Your sister decided to stick with Mitsunari and the Western Army"
"What happened then?" asked Hanbei before hearing a big explosion.
"What now?" said Masamune with annoyance as he moved with Hanbei to the source of the explosion.
When they arrived, they saw two girls one in while and the other in red and black.
"Unbelievable!" yelled the girl in white had pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail on the right side and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara. A crooked scar runs vertically down her left eye. 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 "This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"
"I'm really, really sorry" said the other girl had silver eyes and black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips. She wears a long sleeved dress with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and around her skirt has a red trim. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins.
"What happened here?" asked Hanbei, approaching the two, followed by Masamune.
"This idiot here was about to destroy the whole school!" replied the girl in white.
Masamune shook his head and turned to the other girl "Please try to mind your surrounding next time"
"O-ok" said the girl.
"And what are YOU doing here?" asked the girl in white while pointing Hanbei "You look even more younger than this idiot here. Do the two of you think that this is your common combat school? Here we fight monsters"
"Zip it princess!" snapped Masamune while walking toward her "You have no right to judge the others!"
"It's heiress actually" said a black haired girl and amber eyes, as well as purple eyeshadow in catseye style. 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. She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck "Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world"
"Finally some recognition" said the girl known as Weiss Schnee, turning to the others with a cocky smile.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners" added the black haired girl.
"Fallen from grace from the start" said Masamune before turning to Hanbei, who was laughing "I'll go and wait with the others, come join us when you've finished"
"Sure thing" replied Hanbei before noticing the gaze that the black haired girl was giving to Masamune before leaving.
"How… you little…" growled Weiss before storming out.
"Like what said Masamune 'What a welcoming sight'" sighed Hanbei before turning to the crimson haired girl "My name is Hanbei, Takenaka Hanbei, nice to meet you"
"I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose" replied the girl before noticing a blond boy, the same blond boy who threw up in the Bullhead.
"Hey there, I'm Jaune" he said "I heard like the sound of an explosion and wondered if you need any help"
"We're okay, thanks for the concern" said Ruby before taking a more careful look and said "Aren't you that guy who threw up in the ship?"
A little later, the three of them were walking in the garden.
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more problem than people let on" said Jaune to Ruby and Hanbei.
"Look, I'm sorry, Vomit-boy was the first thing that came to mind" replied Ruby.
"Vomit-boy" repeated Hanbei while laughing "Behold the dangerous Vomit-boy!" he then laughed harder.
"Hey!" snapped Jaune and pointed Ruby "What if I call her Crater-face!"
"Hey, that explosion was an accident!" replied Ruby.
"Well the name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it" said Jaune with pride, making the two others looking at him blankly.
"Do they?" they asked at the same time.
"They will" replied Jaune "Well, I hope they will… I mean my mom always said that… never mind"
Ruby thought a little and said "So… I got this thing" and she deployed her weapon, surprising both Hanbei and Jaune.
"Whoa… is that a scythe?" asked Jaune.
"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle" added Ruby.
"A very impressive weapon!" commented Hanbei with joy in his voice "I'm pretty sure that the maker must be a genius!"
Ruby blushed a little and said "Well… I'm the one who made it"
"For real?!" asked both Jaune and Hanbei.
"Y-yeah…" answered Ruby awkwardly before looking at Hanbei "What about you?"
"I have this" said Hanbei while showing them his compass "Her name is Astral Conqueror, she's a handmade battle-compass, with two set of blades and with a very protective shell. Recently, I changed the metal of the blade to give her that crystal you call Dust"
"She's so beautiful" said Ruby as she touched the weapon "A perfect weapon for defense and offense, and those pure Dust crystals are perfectly cut to match the weapon"
"But there's also another option" said Hanbei while activating the other set of blade and flew a little "With the right adjustments, I can fly"
"Whoa! That's so cool!" she then turned to Jaune "And you?"
"Oh-uh, I got this sword" said Jaune while drawing his sword out.
"Well crafted" commented Hanbei while looking at the sword.
"Yeah, I got the shield too" said Jaune as he transformed the sheathe of the sword into a shield.
"What do they do?" asked Ruby as she touched the center of the shield, shrinking it, making Jaune to lose grip over the shield.
After catching the shield Jaune said "Well… the shield gets smaller… so when I get tired of carrying it… I can just put it away"
"But wouldn't it weigh the same?" asked Ruby.
"I think that the concept of it was to help with the space control" answered Hanbei "Because if we think about it, you can't have a lot of movements with a shield in your hand"
"I didn't see it that way" admitted Ruby "Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons" she then patted her weapon I guess I did go a little overboard designing it"
"I don't think so" replied Hanbei "When you make a weapon, you put your entire soul in it, which can represent the owner"
"What do you mean?" asked Ruby.
"Creating a weapon is no small thing, you need to take many factors in consideration, and by successfully completing the weapon, you can see by yourself if it needs anything else to be the perfect weapon for you, the more you add afterward, the more power you become" explained Hanbei before noticing that the two teens were staring at him and Ruby was recording everything he said in a notebook.
"You sure know a lot about this" said Ruby after hiding the note book "Did you built your own weapon?"
Hanbei nodded and said "I had to first use wood to build the shell, but afterward, I got enough steel to change it. She changed a lot"
"That's nice" said Ruby before noticing that they were alone in the courtyard "Hey where are we going?"
"I don't know" answered Jaune "I was following you"
"You guys are really hopeless" said a newcomer.
"Ujiyasu? What are you doing here?" asked Hanbei with confusion.
"The headmaster is going to give the speech soon, and after seeing that you had yet to arrive, I came to get you" answered the Lion of Sagami as he took a smoke "You'd better follow me"
The three teens followed Ujiyasu to the amphitheatre.
"Ruby!" called a blond girl "Over here! I saved you a spot!"
"Oh! Hey, I gotta go!" said Ruby to the others "I'll see you guys after the ceremony!"
"Later" said Ujiyasu before walking away with Hanbei toward the two other samurais.
"What took you so long?!" asked Masamune while glaring at Hanbei.
"I was just talking with that girl over there" answered Hanbei while pointing Ruby, who was in the hands of the blond girl and it appears that the Schnee heiress was yelling at her.
"Them again?" asked Masamune with annoyance.
"I mean… maybe we got near to our objectif" said Hanbei with a nervous smile "The girl in red is called Ruby Rose"
That statement made the warriors to look at them again, it was really possible that they got to them that easily?
"Well, maybe our mission won't be so bad" said Ujiyasu as he hid his pipe when he saw Ozpin on the stage.
"Ahem… I'll keep this brief" said Ozpin after clearing his throat "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you are finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at this school will prove that knowledge will only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step"
As soon as he finished, Zhuge Liang took his place and said "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You're dismissed"
"I didn't know that speeches were supposed to be this forward" commented Ujiyasu.
"He does seem like the type of man will do anything to gain the trust of the student" added Hanbei.
"Bad type" countered Kojiro "He does look like he has a great secret"
"We'll worry about that tomorrow" said Masamune, looking at the girls "First we need to confirm that they are the ones we need to protect"
Later, Masamune was still changing. Due to his wings, he had a lot of difficulties to change.
"Too bad I don't have something to pass the time" he said, while retracting his wings so that he could wear his shirt made for winged Faunuses.
"Excuse me" said the feminine voice of the black haired girl of the morning.
"What do you want?" asked Masamune as he turned to see her.
"I'm just a little worried" said the girl with concern "You are a winged Faunus, which means that people will pick up on you"
"Let them" said Masamune as he carefully deployed his wings, making sure that he won't tore the shirt "I'm not afraid of them, I am who I am, if they think that a bunch of imbeciles can change me or even harm me, they will learn that no one should mess with the One-Eyed Dragon"
"You're so brave" mumbled the girl while looking down, ashamed of something.
In the ballroom, the four warriors found a spot where they could sleep in.
"Reminding me of home" said Hanbei with nostalgia in his voice.
"Don't cry" joked Ujiyasu "I can say that for me; this place is going to be my new home"
"So, you plan to stay here?"asked Masamune, while tapping in his Scroll.
"This place isn't that bad" replied Ujiyasu "I can feel like the peace I'm searching is somewhere here"
"I think that I will check something" said Hanbei as he opened the book and asked "What will happen to us tomorrow?" the book showed him a sentence "Check this 'When the four maiden will come to earth, they will unit under the banner of the horse, but the tower will also bond with the horse' What do you guys think?"
"That must mean that the ones we seek will either be launched in the air or that they will be above us in a way" answered Kojiro.
"I think that everyone will get the same initiation test, and I think that we need to stick together" said Ujiyasu while looking at Masamune "Do you think that you can do something like that?"
"I'm not stupid, Lion of Sagami" replied Masamune, annoyed "I think that it's for the best if we know more about"
"Got it" said Hanbei as he opened the book to check the answer "It says 'When two and two comes together they make four'… that's all"
"We need to be cautious tomorrow" said Masamune "Let's try to stay alive"
What do you think?
Should I change something?
Leave you thoughts in the reviews.
