A bullhead traversing the dark sky of Remnant on approach to Vale, the symbol of a red lion with a burning gold sun behind clearly seen on the side. This bullhead belongs to the company known as Pride, a company that is known to be a rival to the likes of the SDC. Pride is a Faunas owned company, inside the bullhead is a young man of 19 years of age he is muscular standing at a clean 6 foot with a bright golden mane atop his head and powerful golden eyes, he has two ears protruding from the top of his head lined with golden fur. This is Escanor Lions CEO of Pride and soon to be a student of Beacon Academy.

"Mr. Lion's sir, ETA to Beacon 10 minutes" the pilot spoke over the intercom.

"Thank you Kyle" Escanor replied in a deep powerful voice, Escanor then pulled out his scroll and proceeded to browse the Vale news to find out all the going on in the kingdom. to his surprise, he sees an article stating that the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, or SDC for short is going to be attending Beacon.

"Huh thought she would have gone to Atlas Academy...ahh who cares" he put his scroll back in his pocket then stood and walked to the bullhead ramp and pressed the open button "I need some fresh air." Once the ramp was down Escanor noticed they just flew over the wall that stood tall around the city, "defenses might not be as grand as Atlas's but as long as they keep out the Grimm" just as he was about to turn and walk back to his seat, he heard the sound of gunfire and saw flashes coming from the street below "hmmm..." he then pressed the button on the intercom "Kyle I'm stepping out if anyone asks where I am, tell them I'm taking out the trash" he then lept of the edge of the ramp falling straight to the street below.

Play: Escanor Theme

As he got closer to the street below he could see multiple men in black suits fighting a girl in a red dress wielding a larger scythe, then suddenly with a loud crash that cratered across the whole street he landing in between the girl and the thugs "tch, grown men attacking a little girl have you no shame" he then raised his hand and pointed at the one standing closest to him then to everyone's shock a small ball on energy shot from his finger and impacted the man in the middle of his forehead sending him flying only to collide with a lamppost.

Everyone stood frozen until a man at the back of the group who was wearing... make-up? ordered the rest of his lackeys to attack. Escanor stood completely unfazed as five guys charged directly at him but just before the first one reached him he reached down and grabbed the guy by the ankle and then used him as a make-shift club sending each of the remaining thugs flying with every swing.

"Hahaha, you should have brought more men makeup man!" Escanor bellowed out a deep hearty laugh mocking all those who dared raise weapons against him "I once punched a deathstalker into submission so these fools are nothing but mere ants before the might of Escanor Lions!" After that declaration make-up man's eyes widen with a sudden realization.

"Damn so the rumors were true, I should have gotten out of Vale when I could" make up man whispered to himself looking defeated yet somehow slightly hopeful at the same time "Hey red!" he called out to the girl getting her attention as she was staring in awe at the man before her "let's call it a draw yeah! the last thing I want is getting pummeled by Mt Pride over here!" he then proceeded to turn and sprint towards a ladder-climbing to the roof.

The girl looked down at the shopkeeper she was protecting "do you mind if I go after him?" the shopkeeper nodded and then she used some unusual flower speed to quickly pursue the make-up man.

Escanor just stood holding the ankle of the poor soul who becomes his personal club, he then released the ankle bent his knees, and in one single leap flew up to the roof and landed next to the flower girl as she and make up man gave the typical hero-villain back and forth. Escanor heard the sounds of an engine approaching and looked to the side to see a bullhead flying lower than regulations would allow.

The flower girl also noticed the bullhead and prepared her weapon to re-engage fighting make u- but before she could even move Escanor had already pinned the man's head beneath his boot while staring at the bullhead. "I didn't even see him move...that's so cooooool!" she squealed loudly gaining the attention of the giant man.

"huh guess she as excited as I am to continue the battle" he whispered to himself only hearing the loud sound and mistaking it for battle excitement "hey make-up man you alive?" he looked down but his only response was a groan and a few non-PG hang gestures "what is your name make up man?" ... "oh right" he removed his boot from the head.

"Torchwick, Roman Torchwick" the now named Roman then quickly reached into his pocket and removed a firey dust crystal before tossing it directly into Escanors very stoic looking face then from an adjacent rooftop, and a gunshot was heard before the crystal exploded launching well more like tumbling backward, there was no damage done to his body however his clothes suffer tears and burns in various parts.

"hmmm, more insects coming out to play" Escanor looked directly to where the shoot came from and then bent down to pick up a piece of debris by his feet, and then with a simple flick of his wrist the roof the would-be insect shooter crumble to pieces.

Before anything else could happen however the bullhead finally arrived dropping a ladder for Roman to climb onto, as he was climbing up the bullhead began to pull away however it didn't get far as Escanor grabbed hold of the ladder holding it in place.

Behind Escanor the flower girl also grabbed a part of the ladder in an attempt to mimic the lion man before her, Escanor noticing this used his free hand to pat the girl on the head.

"You have a fire in you flower girl, one that would put grown men to shame...except for me but most others" the girl was grinning until that final part, she wasn't sure how to feel about that before they could continue a casual conversation in the midst of combat the bullhead ramp lowered and a woman with burning eyes of flame stood in the entryway.

Escanor still looking down at the girl was hit in the back but powerful flame balls that then hit crashing into an air vent, as he began to stand back still to all onlookers they got a clear view of a red lion tattoo on his back solidifying the fact that this is without a doubt Escanor Lions then suddenly "Hahahahahaha!" a deep hearty laugh escaped Escanor throat as he turned to look at the bullhead "you call that power!? let me show you true flames girl!" he then lifted his hand with his palm facing up then an instant later and energy ball of fire that could on be described as a small sun flared up making everyone feel as if they just entered a volcano.

"Cruel sun, a power that eviscerates all...now begone insect!" he was about to throw the mini sun at the bullhead but before he could a purple glow surrounded his body not that it would hold him for long, however then the sounds of heels clicking against the ground was heard behind him.

"Stop, if you use that here there will no doubt be many casualties and severe collateral damage!" a voice that accompanied the heels called out to him, Escanor turned to see a blonde woman with a riding crop steadily approaching. Escanor then looked around noticing that much of the surrounding area was steaming and the flower girl was panting on her knees covered in a dangerous level of sweat.

Escanor then let his power dissipate returning the area to a warmer than average temperature in this short time of distraction however the rope ladder was severed just above where his hold was allowing the bullhead to escape into the night sky.

The blonde lady marched up to stand beside Escanor watching the bullhead leave while the flower girl regained her bearings, flower girl than in a burst of rose petals appeared before the blonde lady with a look of pure giddy excitement on her face "your a Huntress! Can I have your autograph!?"

The flower girl got no autograph but instead an interrogation room at the police station, Escanor sat beside her with his arms crossed over his chest and eyes closed. A few seconds later blonde lady entered through the door and began disciplining him and the flower girl for their actions.

"They started it!" The flower girl shouted but quickly pulled in on herself after seeing the stern glare sent her way.

"If it was up to me I would send you home with a pat on the back..." flower girl started to smile "and a smack on the wrist!" she emphasized her point but smacking the desk with her riding crop, "however there is someone here who would like to speak to you."

As soon as she finished that sentence the door opened again this time revealing a man with a cane and grey hair, carrying a plate of cookies. He walked into the room and sat opposite Escanor and flower girl placing the plate of cookies between them,

"Hello, Ruby Rose and...Escanor Lions this explains why your bullhead arrived with only the pilot" The man smiled at them both "I'm sure you know who I am but for the sake of time my name is Ozpin and I'm the headmaster of Beacon Academy and this here is professor Glynda Goodwitch" he introduced himself and the blonde lady.

Ozpin then leaned towards Ruby "Ruby Rose...you have Silver eyes" Escanor looked down at the girl beside him indeed noticing she had silver eyes. Ozpin then leaned back pulling out his scroll and showing footage of the fight before Escanor arrived "you are very talented miss Rose especially for someone so young, not many wield scythes."

during this mini-speech Ruby was devouring the cookies as a woman possessed only stopping once she noticed everyone staring at her in silence, she quickly swallowed before responding.

"I was taught at Signal, I was pretty bad at first but then my uncle Qrow taught me, and then I was all like wah Wacha" she finished while making hand gestures in an attempt of some kind of martial arts.

Ozpin gained a look in his eye Escanor couldn't quite recognize "how would you like to come to Beacon Miss Rose?"

Rubys eyes widened and massive face splitting grin on her face "More than anything!" she shouted. Ozpin then looked at Glynda with a smile on his face, she didn't look any near as happy.

"Well then be at Initiation in a week's time than Miss Rose" Ozpin then looked at Escanor while Glynda escorted an excited Ruby out of the room but not without Ruby shouting out a quick bye to Escanor.

"Mr. Lion's, your reputation proceeds you not even been in Vale for one day and causing ripples already" Ozpin smiled while Escanor just sat there staring at him, Escanor then scoffed before talking in a very uninterested tone.

"All I was doing was pulling weeds out of the ground Ozpin, they could barely be considered ripples" Escanor then uncrossed his arms and leaned forward "you inviting me to Beacon as well? I was already on my way so let's skip the idle chat shall we" it wasn't meant as a question but a statement.

"Indeed Mr. Lion's by all accounts you are all ready to head into the initiation and pass with flying colors...that is why I have an offer I would like to make to you" Ozpin finished relaxing back into his chair.

"What offer? I refuse to be given a free pass to initiation even if it is obvious I should" Escanor then rose from his chair and was about to head to the door before Ozpin raised a hand to stop him.

"No Mr. Lion's I would never dream of doing that after all, I know your personality quite well," Ozpin said with a bit of humor at the end "No all the details are in this file so please read over it and get back to me as soon as your able" he put a file on the table then stood and walked towards the door "I will be seeing you soon Mr. Lion's."

With that Ozpin left the room leaving Escanor to stare at the folder able to see the big bold letter that read TEST: Retreat. "Huh well may as well see what the man wants" he reached for the folder and then left the room walking off into the dark.

AN:

This is my first story so it might be a bit rough but I thought up this idea a while back and wanted to see if I could do it justice.

I thought it would be interesting if there was a faunas company that rivaled the SDC and how that may affect the world in terms of the faunas population and how humans view them.

Yes, he is Escanor from the Seven deadly sins however there are no other SDS characters in this story, I love his character and he is one of my favorite anime characters overall and yes in typical Escanor fashion he will be overpowered.

Please let me know what you think whether you hate it, love it, or just indifferent.

THANKS!
