Chapter 12
"Yang?" A red caped girl asks the blonde who I had just knocked out the window. "Is that you?
'Ruby and Yang…. I don't exactly want to get on their bad side, especially since we'll be attending Beacon soon.'
"….Oh…Hey sis!" Yang replies, showing slight sheepishness, probably from showing her younger sister her getting thrown from a window.
"What are you doing here? You wouldn't believe what just happened to me! Wait, did that guy hurt you? Do you need any help?" Ruby says while speaking a thousand words in a minute, from what I caught, doesn't that mean that 'it' happened to her?
"Slow down, Ruby. I'll explain everything later, but right now I'm gonna kick this guy's ass!" Yang says, pumping her arms and taking a stance.
Looking around, I notice Junior and the twins, as well as a lot of his men start funnelling out of the club, as if to go to war with the two girls.
"You heard the lady, she wants to continue! Let's show her what we're made of! We got Ira leading us, so CHA….." Junior was about to run out with his rocket launcher turned into a club, but when he was about to pass me, I hold out Revenant, blocking his path and subsequently interrupting his shouting.
"No, you don't." I say, loud enough for everyone to hear, causing them to stop as well. "My job is finished, she is out of the club and as a bonus I'll make sure she doesn't go back in, so get back inside and prepare the payment."
"That's not how this works, we're gonna…." Junior was about to say something, before getting interrupted with my "Now, unless you want to go against me as well." Being 17, my voice has deepened compared to when I was a child, sounding deeply smooth, yet a bit rough; I guess refined yet wild is the perfect way to describe me, not just my voice but my appearance, fighting style, etc. My hair, still having the flick above my left eye, making part of my forehead visible as it falls to either side of my left eye, it looks refined yet wild, and still a silver grey colour. I'm now considerably tall at 6'2" and have a toned body, rather than overly muscular; going for the maximize strength without losing agility sort of thing. My clothes consisting of a dark grey waistcoat and a white shirt rolled up to my elbows and the top two buttons undone. I have a loose red skinny tie and dark blue pants which are covered from just below the knee down by black boots. I also have a black belt and dark red pouch attached around my left thigh, holding my throwing knives.
"I'm confused! Is he bad? Do we hit him or not?" Ruby shouts, showing her trademark innocence and drawing my attention back towards the two sisters.
"Let's just beat our way back in! Come on Ruby, let's go!" Yang says, pumping her fists and charging towards me, before being sent right back to where she started with a quick thrust from my sheath before Ruby even moved.
"Just leave it here, you got your answer from him, right? Try and force your way in and I will stop you." I say as I holster Revenant onto my belt and lean against the entrance, folding my arms. I might want to get along with the two, but I was hired to do a job, against canon characters or not, I will do it properly; so for the love of Oum, just leave you damn hothead!
"Hey, we didn't do anything wrong!" Ruby shouts, unsheathing her weapon, before tilting her head at Yang and continuing, "Right?"
"Attacking the owner of a bar, as well as non-huntsmen with loaded weapons, ruining the night's business due to the patrons fleeing, and then attacking me before I even spoke; is that not 'in the wrong'?" I reply, not moving from my spot as Ruby begins looking at Yang with a shocked expression.
"Eh heh heh…." Yang sheepishly laughs as she turns her head away and scratching her cheek.
"Yaannnggggg…." Ruby whines, complaining about her sister's antics.
"Yes, Ruby?" Yang replies, acting innocent at the reprimanding eyes of her younger sister.
"Why would you do that? I have already been with the police once tonight; I don't want to go back ever again, never mind in an hour after the first!" Ruby says at one hundred miles an hour.
"I don't know what…..Wait you were at the police station?" Yang asks, spotting a chance to change the subject as she quietly leads her little sister away from the scene.
'Huh, looks like Ruby got accepted without any difficulties.' I think to myself as I watch them off. 'Time to go get paid for a good days work, or rather a few minutes work.'

"I still can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me!" A blonde haired girl shouts as she hugs a younger girl, who seems like she'll be crushed by the hug. "This is the best day ever!"
"Ugh…please stop…" The younger girl says, with a tone as if she had been force-fed gruel.
"But I am so proud of youuuuu!" The blonde girl, Yang, shouts proudly as she congratulates the red-caped girl.
###
While this is happening, just as the ship is beginning to leave Vale and has barely ascended above the roof level,
"Dammit!" A boy, riding a blue and black motorcycle, is speeding along the road below, the horns of cars and vans go off as they swerve out of the way of the boy.
Suddenly, as the road ahead begins to empty of traffic, a bluish black light circle appears on the path ahead, which the boy drives straight through, seemingly increasing his speed as he does. The road ahead, coming to a dead end, also seems to have another two of these light circles; one is a bluish black light like the last, while the other is fully black. The bluish black one being slightly tilted upwards, unlike the previous one which was perpendicular to the road ahead like a doorway, this one seems more like a ramp, while the black one is a few meters ahead in the air.
"Now or never, Shirley" The boy shouts, the woman he is talking to must be invisible as he appears alone on his motorcycle.
As the bike hits the first light circle, it rides it up like a ramp, shooting into the air and hitting the second light circle. As the motorcycle passes through the second, it soars into the air; just into the path of a passing airbus, which just so happens to be travelling to Beacon.
Inside the ship, "Look, you can see signal from up her." A red-caped girl, Ruby says as she looks out the window.
"Yeah, you're ri…. Hey, what is that?" Yang asks as she spots something heading towards the window. "Is that a Grimm?"
"Quick we need to tell someone, Grimm have inva…..Ugh Yang? I don't think that's a Grimm. It looks more like a….It's a person!" Ruby shouts as the thing moving towards them gets closer and they can see what it is.
"Open the doors! There is a person heading straight towards us!" Yang shouts to her sister as she makes her way to the nearest door, with her sister helping her.
Just as she manages to pry open the doors, a blue and black object flies through, skidding before coming to a stop, as the students present point there weapons at the intruder.
"Perfect shot." The rider of the motorcycle says, taking off his helmet, revealing a handsome man, roughly the same age as everyone on the ship. "Thanks for opening the doors, I might have had to sacrifice the bike to get on." The boy says with a slight smile, unperturbed by the tens of weapons pointing at him.
"Hey! It's you!" Yang shouts, recognising the boy from someone she had met the night before last. Beside her, Ruby also recognises the boy and begins dragging her sister over towards him.
"I am so sorry for what my sister did." Hitting Yang to make her apologise as well. "Uh..Yeah, same here."
"It's fine, we'll be attending the same school after all, let's start over." He says, as the other students notice what he says, they put away their weapons and go back to taking with the others, though they still steal some glances at the boy made such an entrance so high up into the air.
"Yeah, let's never think about it again! I'm Yang, and this is my little sister Ruby."
"It's a pleasure." The boy says, getting off the bike and moving in front of the girls, "You can call me Ira."

Seriously, that was close, I almost lost little Shirley here. I had owned this bike since I was able to drive one, I had instantly made the worst decision a new driver makes when deciding to buy their first vehicle; buy an expensive one. I had customised her myself, just for fun, and she turned out quite well if I says so myself, and I couldn't help myself afterwards.
After seeing Yang and Ruby off, telling them I needed to speak with a staff member about my bike, it turns out the staff had expected something strange to happen and that they would bring it back and put it in the company lot, like most people do when travelling to Beacon.
'Looks like everything worked out.' I think to myself as the airbus lands and I wait for most of the passengers to get off before exiting myself, I don't want to get caught up in that stampede.
Ah… truly an amazing place; watching it from behind a screen doesn't do it justice.

As Ira is gazing in wonder at finally seeing something anyone who has seen the show has hoped to see,
"What are you doing, you dolt!" A white themed girl is reprimanding a girl who had fallen over onto her luggage.
"Do you know what you just did? Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?" She says, grabbing a case that the red-caped girl, Ruby, had picked up. "This is dust! Water, fire, lightning!"
"Uh…." Ruby replies, still somewhat dazed at the other girls sudden scolding.
"Are you braindead? Dust is the energy that powers our entire society! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is? Are you even aware at that?" She continues admonishing the younger girl, waving around a vial of the dust, unknowingly spreading it through the area as the vial seems to have been damaged, causing Ruby's nose to begin twitching.
"Are you even…." Just as she was about to berate the girl further, she is sent back along with the other girl by a sudden force, not unlike how her own Glyphs are, just as the area blows up, saving both of them from being hurt.
"See this is exactly what I'm…" Just as she was about to explain how they could have been hurt, she catches a figure standing between the two, causing her to freeze. She doesn't believe what she is seeing, as she catches glimpses of the figures features through the smoke.
"Isn't Rule Number 1 of dust safety, not to cause a danger by spreading dust into the air?" He says in a deeply smooth, yet slightly rough voice, picking up a clearly cracked vial as the smoke clears, showing his identity to the eyes of the girl as their eyes meet.
"It's been a while, Weiss."
A/N
Since some time frames aren't stated, I went with the Yellow trailer and Episode 1 of RWBY happened on the same night, just one night before the start of Beacon.
Fun Fact: Shirley follows the naming rule. It means something like white meadow, or bright wood. Ironically, its colour would be considered dark rather than bright.
Also a Reunion! How will they react? Will Shirley be competing with Yang's Bumblebee? What will happen next? Find out next episode on Dragonba…Wrath in White!
P.S. I most likely won't be able to post tomorrow, have some stuff to do again. So you'll have to wait until Friday for the continuation, is this the best cliffhanger yet?
