Hello once more. It's lost, thanks for joining back in. Let's just jump right into it after the reviews.
Reviews:
Scurra: Thanks glad you enjoyed, also yeah, my thoughts exactly for Yangs reaction.
Zyriarch: omfg I never noticed. I'm such an idiot. Thanks for pointing that out. Ngl I died in mortification once I noticed.
Dont own rwby or any other media referenced.
As the bullhead lands, the first one out is of course Jaune as he sprints for the nearest trashcan and starts relieving the entirety of his stomachs contents.
"Boy am I glad I dont have motion sickness. Otherwise I'd probably be as bad off as him, especially with Yang's driving." I say with a smirk and Yang elbows my rib.
"Wow! Look at the size of Beacon." Yang says in wonder.
"Ohmygosh sis! That guy has a collapsible staff! That girls got a fire sword!" Ruby says going into weapon fetish mode and tries to run off. However Yang already has a grip on her hood and Ruby flies back towards her. "OOWWW YANG!"
"Calm down Rubes, they're just weapons." Yang says nonchalantly.
"JUST WEAPONS!? These aren't just weapons! They're and extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh they're so cool." Ruby says gushing over all the different weapons around her.
"Well, why cant you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asks with a raised brow.
"I would hope so, especially considering the resources I put towards helping upgrade it. Especially that new scope and rifling." I butt in with a stern voice.
"OF COURSE IM HAPPY WITH CRESCENT ROSE! I just like seeing new weapons. It's like meeting new people but better." She quickly says after unsheathing and shifting her scythe and hugging it.
"Wow Ruby, I really loved meeting you for the first time too." I say with a deadpan voice and face.
"I didnt mean it like that!" She quickly exclaims in panic.
"Its alright little gem, I'm just messing with you. If anything, you can use this as a chance to make new friends." I say ruffling her hair.
"Yeah Ruby. Why dont you go make some new friends?" Yang says as she pulls Ruby's hood over her head.
"Why would I need friends when I have you two?" Ruby asks in honest confusion as she tilts her head in honest confusion.
"Well..." Yang is interrupted as a bunch of people from signal surround her, " a bunch of my friend from Patch are here. Gotta catch up. KAY CYA BYE!" Yang yells as her and her friends run off leaving a spinning Ruby with a dazed and confused look in her eye.
"Wait! Where are you going!? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? Aaaaahg!" Ruby exclaims with a voice of betrayal and depression.
"Dont worry little gem, we'll be fine. We just gotta get our bearings." I say putting a hand on her shoulder to keep her steady as I feel something bump into our backs and hear a bunch of clattering on the floor as I look behind and see a luggage cart with most of its content on the ground.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I hear a familiar shrill voice and get a feeling of dread and annoyance.
Weiss. Schnee.
Absolutely wonderful.
Me and Ruby turn around and see a woman who stands at about 5'4-5'5 with large heels. She is an incredibly pale white with blue eyes, with a scar over her left eye, and white hair as done up in a uneven ponytail. Her clothes are a white and pale blue strapless knee length dress with black lace on the front, a bell-sleeved bolero jacket of the same color palate but has red in the sleeves and neck lining, and finally knee high wedge heeled boots. She also has a rapier with a revolving dust chamber in the hilt, it goes by the name Myrtenaster.
Say what you want about her, she's got cajones to go around fighting in heels.
"Well we Were just standing here in plain view out in the open. That was until someone pushed a luggage cart into the back of us." I say with a sarcastic tone.
"Uh sorry miss!" Ruby, bless her innocent heart, holds one of the fallen luggage cases.
"Give me that. Do you know the amount of damage you could have cause?" Weiss says completely ignoring my perfectly valid argument as to why we aren't at fault here.
Yeah no. Not gonna fly.
"Do you mean the damage that You could have caused? As I said. We were standing here. Perfectly still. Out in the open. Where anyone who isnt blind can see the 6'5 guy with horns and the 5'4 girl with a Bright crimson hood. The two people you somehow managed to push luggage into in the middle of an 8 foot wide walkway." I say with an unimpressed and disdainful voice.
"Uugh whatever. Give me that! Do you know what this is? It's pure refined Dust from the Shnee Quarry." She says as she grabs the case from Ruby rather rudely.
"Uhhhhhhh..." Ruby says 'intelligently' as things are going by too fast for her in this conversation with a new person. Poor thing, I used to be socially awkward in my last life.
"What are you brain dead?" Weiss asks as she takes out a vial of fire and electric Dust. "Dust! Fire, water, lighting, Energy!" She exclaims and shakes the vial in front of Ruby's nose, making dust fly out and into her nose.
Shi-*BOOOOOOOOOOM*
With that I'm standing in a crater with electricity, fires, and snow swirling around me as I look to see Weiss and Ruby were blasted back and the dust vial rolls over in front of Blake who has apparently been watching the entire thing go down.
Awww great, my visor cracked. Gonna have to repair it later.
"Uugh! This was the exact thing I was talking about you complete Dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" Weiss practically screams at Ruby.
"Well I-I-." Ruby doesnt even get to get a word in edgewise.
"This isn't you're ordinary combat school! We dont only train and spar here you know! We are here to fight monsters so... watch where you're going!"
"Hey I said I was sorry princess." Ruby finally speaks up for herself and says.
"Heiress actually." Blake cuts in. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."
"Finally, some recognition." Weiss says in a victorious tone. So I choose to burst her bubble before Blake can.
"Yeah, largest because of its shady dealings with the criminal underworld and near slave labor laws towards its Faunus employee base that it gets away with because daddy pays off the Atlesian council and funds the Atlas military." I say nonchalantly and smirk as I see Weiss have a look of outrage and disbelief on her face. Even Blake has a suprised look at how viciously I tore into the subject.
"H-How dare you! The absolute nerve- ugh!" Weiss intelligently rebukes and storms off.
How eloquent.
"I-I'll try to make it up to you!" Ruby calls after Weiss and then looks downcast as she's ignored. "Guess I'm not the only one having a bad day. Thank you for-" Ruby cuts off as she notices that Blake walked off.
How rude. Not unexpected though, she did the same thing in the show.
"Ugh, Welcome to Beacon." Ruby depressingly intones as she wipes off soot from the explosion.
Feeling a presence walking towards us as I use my semblance to clear us both of soot and Dust, we both turn to see a lanky guy of 6'8 walk up to us.
"Hi... I'm Jaune." He awkwardly introduces himself while putting a hand out for a handshake.
Jaune is ,as I said, a lanky but suprisingly toned white guy of 6'8. He has blond hair and dark blue eyes. He wears a black short sleeve hoodie, a white and gold diamond shaped breastplate over it, on his shoulders are spaulders with rerebraces attached. He's wearing blue jeans with black and white sneakers. On top of his pants he has two brown belts. Attached to them is a white and gold sheath with a longsword in it which I know is named Crocea Mors.
"Hi, I'm Ruby Rose." Ruby shakes his hand and he turns to me and tentatively holds his hand out.
"Dorian Chromic Nikos. Pleasure to meet you." I introduce myself and shake his hand with a firm grip.
"Nice to meet you." He responds with more confidence and we all turn to start walking towards the academy proper.
"Arent you the guy who threw up?" Ruby asks with a smile and tilt of her head.
"Hey! It's a much more common condition than people realise." Jaune says in indignation.
"*giggling* Look I'm sorry. Its just, Vomit boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby says as I chuckle alongside her.
"Oh yeah? Well how about I call the two of you Crater Faces?" He responds.
"Hey! That explosion was an accident." Ruby complains.
"Wasnt even our fault in the first place. Also if my nickname is gonna be Crater Face, you gotta call the girl in white it too. She was the cause of it." I say in indignation of my own.
"Well my name is Jaun Arc. Short, Sweet, rolls off the tounge and the ladies love it." He responds with faux confidence.
""Do they?"" Me and Ruby both deadpan the question.
"T-They Do! Or, they will. I hope they will. My mom always says that... never mind." Jaune says despondent.
"Ok Jaune let me give you some advice here man to man. Ruby, if you wouldn't mind covering your ears." She does. "Cut the fake confidence shit. It honestly doesnt work and most girls will find it annoying as fuck. Stick with what you got, and who you are. If you're the dark brooding and thoughtful type, work it. If you're the clumsy and awkward goofball, work it. If you're the confident outgoing playboy type, work it. Dont fake who you are for a girl, because sooner or later the girl will realise the lie and then your relationship crumbles away to dust. A girl you want is one who likes you for you. Not what you can be or who you pretend to be. They also like when you can see who They are on the inside, not just outside. Also when a girl says no, dont push it. If anything, get to know her, be a friend, let her know who you are, then ask her. If she still says no, at least you made a good friend. If she says yes, congrats, you made a strong relationship. Also, for the love of all that's good, NEVER, say 'well my mom says', trust me it does not look good." I say and finish with a clap on his shoulder as I motion for Ruby to take her hands from her ears.
"W-Wow dude. That has to be some of the best relationship advice I've ever gotten. I dont have many guy friends to talk to about this stuff. All I got are my 7 sisters." Jaune says sheepishly with a thankful expression.
"HOLY HELL! Seven sisters!? Please tell me you have your own bathroom at the least."
"Yeah I do. It's not that bad as it seems though, we all get along really nicely and we all help with each others problems."
"Then how come you know nothing about how to talk to girls?" I ask thoroughly confused.
"I try not to ask. They have no boundaries when it comes to*shivers* details." He says growing pale.
"Yeesh, enough said bro." I say with a shiver myself. With that we grow quiet as we walk.
"So~, I got this." Ruby says as she shifts Crescent Rose and stabs the blade into the ground.
"Wh-whoa! Is that a scythe?" Jaune asks flabbergasted.
Heh, flabbergasted. Funny word. Like kumquat. Or bamboozle.
Or Swafferdonked.
"It's also a customizable high impact sniper rifle."
"What?"
"Its also a gun." Ruby finishes with a grin and cock of the bolt.
"Oh that's cool."
"So what you got?" Ruby asks.
"Oh... well I got this sword. Also I got this shield." He says as he unsheathed Crocea Mors and the sheath transforms into a shield that he straps onto his arm after fumbling with it a little.
"Oh that's cool, what's it do?" Ruby asks.
"Oh uh, the shield folds, so when I get tired, I can just put it back on my hip."
""Doesnt it still weigh the same though?"" Me and Ruby ask at the same time.
"Yeah..." Jaune says dejectedly.
"Oh well I'm a bit of a weapons Dork... so I guess i went a little overboard designing mine." Ruby says with a giggle.
"Wait, you Made yours?" He says in disbelief.
"Yeah. Every student at Signal is required to make their own weapon."
"What about you Dorian? What are your weapons?" Jaune asks turning to me.
"Oh mine are rather simple like yours." I say as I unclip Luna and Sol from my belt. "This is Luna and this is Sol. Luna, as you can see, is a silver and cobalt colored chakram that is infused with air, ice, and gravity Dust. Sol, is this gold and silver colored throwing glaive that is infused with electric, fire, and gravity Dust. Both are made from a titanium/tungsten alloy and with the press of this button on their handles, "I say pressing the button as Luna's blade starts frosting over and fogging while rapidly spinning and Sol's 6 scythe blades start crackling with electricity and fire while spinning around the handle as well. "They both turn into high powered elemental blades. It's kinda sad though, I dont get to use them all too much these days since I moved into the area. They saw much more use in the arena in Mistral." I sigh dejectedly myself.
I put so much work into these and dont even get to use them. It's like some kind of running gag.
"Simple my eye! You throw around the sun and moon!" He exclaims with jealousy. "What? Did you make it too?" He sulks.
"As a matter of fact I did. Why? Didnt you make yours?" I ask a little pettily.
"Uh- no. It's a hand me down from my grandfather. He used it in the Great War." Jaune says sheepishly.
"Sounds like a family heirloom to me. I like it, not many people appreciate the classics." Ruby says with a smile.
"Y-yeah, classics..." Jaune says dissatisfied.
"Hey Jaune, dont knock the Sword and Board. There is a reason why it was such a popular weapon style back in the day." I say clapping him on the shoulder.
"So.. does anyone know where we're going?" Ruby asks suddenly.
"Uh, I was following you two." Jaune says.
"I was just walking to walk. C'mon, I think the assembly hall is over this way, I saw a bunch on students heading in this direction." I say and lead the way with the two future leaders following behind.
"Thank goodness you know where you're going." Jaune says with relief.
A few minutes later, me, Ruby, and Jaune walk through the assembly hall doors.
As we look around and see the hall packed to the brim with students, we hear the voice of Yang over the crowd.
"Hey Ruby! Dorian! Over here, I saved you some seats!" Yang exclaims and we look to see her waving.
"Oh, there's my sister Yang. I'll see ya later Jaune." Ruby takes off in a blur.
"Y-yeah, cya later. Great, now where am I supposed to find a nice quirky girl to talk to?" Jaune says dejectedly as I'm standing right next to him.
"Well, we could go find you one." I say chuckling lightly.
"Dorian?" I hear my name as a familiar voice sounds out from behind me and Jaune.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't my little sister Achilles." I say turning around with a smile and see none other than my adorable adopted sister Pyrrah Nikos.
"DORIAN!" She yells then jumps at me with a flying tackle. "You jerk! Why didnt you visit me when I first got here in Vale?" She pouts and punches my shoulder, cracking a few of my scales underneath my hoodie.
Shit, she got stronger.
"Ahhh, Achilles, that hurt. You got stronger." She smiles and punches the same spot.
"I told you to stop calling me Achilles." She says with a smirk knowing how much that punch actually hurt.
"Too bad, imma keep calling you it. If you keep hitting me, I'll hit ya back baby sis." I say with threatening undertones through my smile.
"Ugh- hey Dorian. Who's this?" Jaune asks awkwardly.
"Oh, sorry. Got caught up in the moment. Jaune, this is my adopted sister Pyrrah Nikos. Achilles, this is my new friend, Jaune Arc." I say introducing them.
"Hello." Pyrrah says while waving with her fingers.
"H-hi. My name is Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, and the ladies love it." This idiot.*chuckles*
"
"Do they?" Pyrrah asks with a raised brow.
"Uh- uh... Dorian, can you please stop laughing and help me out here?" Jaune asks for a lifeline.
"Sure Jaune, I'll help you hit on my little sister. Just keep being the clumsy dork you are...m HAHAHAHAHAHH!" I say cracking up as both Pyrrah and Jaune turn red.
"Dammit Dorian! You suck so much." Pyrrah sulks.
"Well little sis, if there is one thing I've learned in life, ya got to 'embrace the suck'. Also enjoy the 'succ' but that's neither here nor there." I say enjoying my little double entendre.
"Uh you're so nasty." Pyrrah complains.
"Enjoy the suck?" Jaune asks confused.
"Not suck, with a C K. Succ with 2 C's. It's called world play. As you grow up and get used to people Jaune, you must learn to be a 'cunning linguist', women will enjoy the game." I say laughing some more at my second bit of wordplay.
"I hate you do much sometimes Dorian." Pyrrah says with her head in her hands.
"I dont understand." Jaune of course, states confusedly.
"You'll understand when you're older Jaune." I say patting his shoulder and turning towards the front of the assembly hall and look at the stage, where I see Ozpin and Glynda walking out into the spotlight as I see Qrow in the background and nod at him.
"Arent we the same age?" He asks.
"Dont question it Jaune. He always says that." Pyrrah says in exasperation.
"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have 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, in need of direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin says with that wonderfully 'uplifting' opening speech.
"All students will be gathering in the Ballroom for tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. That is all." Glynda abruptly says and leaves after Oz.
"Wow, how inspiring. Truly a credit to academic leadership." I deadpan.
"You really cant stand the guy can you?" Jaune asks.
"No not really. The man's a politician. Instead of taking initiative with the active ruling of Vale, he let's the council walk over him and chooses to be laid back when it comes to our societal problems. Why do you think the Fang is increasing more in power here I'm Vale?" I state as me, Jaune, and Pyrrah make our ways towards Ruby and Yang who seem to be talking with Weiss.
"Oh yes! We can paint our nails and talk about cute boys like tall, dark, and brooding and also tall, blonde, and scraggly." Weiss intones with faux enthusiasm.
"Really?!" Ruby innocently asks with longing.
"No." Weiss deadpans.
"Wow Snow White. How cold can ya be?" I say as we walk up to them. "Ya know what, I bet ya just need someone told hold you and warm you up." I say with a smirk as Weiss scoffs in indignation.
"Hey D-man. Who's the blonde and the redhead?" Yang says nonchalantly.
"Well the blonde is mine and Ruby's new friend, Jaune Arc." "Hi!" "As for the redhead, you should know her, I've sorta talked about nothing but her over the last year. This is my sister Pyrr-" I'm interrupted as Weiss exclaims in shock.
"PYRRAH NIKOS!? No wonder you looked familiar!" Weiss exclaims and fangirls over my sister.
"Why does everyone keep talking as if Pyrrah is famous?" Jaune asks thoroughly confused.
"That's because she IS famous you oaf! She's The Pyrrah Nikos. 4 time singles round Champion of the Mistral Colosseum, she's also the 3 time duo rounds champion with her... broth... Dorian Nikos..." She slows her fangirling as she also realizes who I am and slowly starts blushing as she takes a good look at me and my combat outfit. Her eyes going over my scales, abs, and pecks.
"Who?" Jaune asks still confused.
"She is on the front of Pumpkin Pete's cereal boxes." Weiss finishes with a fed up tone.
"I'm also on the front of Grimm Graham cereal boxes. Cereal that leads to a bittersweet death." I chuckle as a look of realization appears on Jaunes face.
"OH YOU TWO ARE FAMOUS! I love Pumpkin Pete's! Not so much the Grimm Graham's." He says in realization and also apologetically towards me.
"Eh, dont worry about it. They're not exactly my cup of tea either. Pumpkin Pete's couldn't afford the two of us together so I got an contract with their subsidiary company." I calmly explain.
While the cereal sucks, I got some damn good royalties off of it.
"I'm sorry, we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. I'm Weiss Schnee. Heir to the Schnee Dust Corporation." She says as she extends a handshake to Pyrrah and then to me.
"Hello." Pyrrah simply states with a demure smile.
"Nice to meet you Snow White." I say whilst shaking her hand.
"Hi Snow Angel, I'm Jaune Arc." Jaune introduces himself but Weiss ignores him.
Ouch.
"Remember what I said man to man earlier Jaune." I sternly remind Jaune.
"R-right. Sorry. Hi Weiss, I'm Jaune." He reintroduced himself and Weiss shakes his hand with a raised eyebrow.
"Yaaay, we all know each other now. Now can we go get ready for bed?" Yang says impatiently and we all split to respectively get ready for bed.
That's this one people. Hope you enjoyed. Feel free to review.
Cya on the next one.
