Hello, this was intended to be a good book but it's not gonna, because of how much Writer's Block is hitting me. Without any more annoyances enjoy the story. Also excuse my lack of knowledge on it, it's been awhile since I last watched RWBY.
On a stary night, a pair of teens were busy checking out books of all categories. In the middle of their session, a crime lord, Roman Torchwick, proceeded into the Dust Shop with his grunts. Roman motions to his goons to surround the cashier.
"Do you have any idea to find a Dust-" Roman's goon to the left of him aimed at the cashier,"-Shop, this late?" Roman spoke.
"P-p-please! Just take my Lien and leave!" The cashier stuttered out, fearing for his life.
Roman chuckled at this,
"I'm not here for the money," Roman turns to the same goon from before, "grab the dust."
With the next objective in mind the criminal opened a case, the rest grabbing a tubes and injecting them into the dust containers. Slowly, the dust was drained from the containers until the tubes were filled.
After grabbing most of them, one grunt went to get the last few, stopping to see two teenager, one short, had black hair with crimson tips, the next also had black hair but with (f/c) tips and a pair of cat ears. Getting agitated, the grunt moved before the two, drawing his blade and pointing at them,
"Sorry kid, put out your hands where I can see 'em," No response. "Hey! I said put your hands in the air. You got a death wish or something?"
He pulled down her hood, making her turn along with the other teen.
"Hm?"
The grunt motioned to his ear, signifying to take off the headphones.
"Yes?" The Silver Eyed female asked.
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" The grunt commanded.
"Are you... robbing me?" She asked yet again.
"Yes!"
The female of the trio let out a audible "Ohhh..." before kicking him past Roman, who was inspecting a crystal. He then nodded towards the girl, one grunt ran at the two with his blade drawn, only to be kicked out the window. The boy smirked as his eyes poured out some silver, before drawing his scythe and slashing two more grunts.
Outside, Roman saw Ruby, landing on the unconscious grunt. Before speaking again, after when the Crimson female took out multiple grunts,
"Well Red I'll have to say this is a eventful evening," he raises his came as the bottom opens, revealing a scope." But this is where we part ways," he fires, forcing 'Red' to block and get pushed back. When the smoke clears she and the older one gets a view of Roman climbing up a building's ladder. Instead of automatically running after him,
"Am I safe to go after him?" The shopkeeper let's out a strained "Mhm".
She uses her scythe to launch after him while the cat faunus uses his aura, now wrapped around his legs to hop onto the roof. Roman groans and turns to red, before speaking,
"Persistent..." He hops onto a Bullhead, before turning and tossing a dust crystal at red's legs, shouting, "End of the line, Red and Silver!"
Shooting the crystal, the two get engulfed in smoke, only to fade and reveal Glynda, a huntress using a glyph to protect them from the explosion. Ruby silently gasped as Glynda used spells to attack the Bullhead.
Roman rushes to the cockpit, warning the driver about the huntress, causing said driver to move to the side door and fire off hot glass shards at the trio. Instead of sitting there, Glynda, using her semblance moves them. Taking initiative, the silver eyed cat faunus used his aura to charge his eyes, his eyes radiated silver, using his eyes, he used his sycthe and slashed at the Bullhead, severely damaged it to a critical state. The orange dressed female's eyes widened as she commanded to take off.
Both females looked at the boy, amazed at his power, he nervously chuckled and looked away.
Around thirty minutes later, the two were sat down being lectured by Glynda.
"Do you two think of the damage you could've done!?" Glynda continued,
"Keyword there is could've, did we? No." The faunus spoke, he was right, they did no real damage besides red destroying a window.
"That may be true but you have no reason to get involved with the crime, I had it under control," Glynda retorted.
"Yeah yeah, hush." The faunus clicked his tongue just as Ozpin entered.
"You both have silver eyes..."
"Creep," Ozpin raised a brow at him.
"Both of you wield scythes, how taught you?"
"A drunken Qrow did." The faunus kept replying for Red, who was busy eating cookies.
"Ahh... He did, what a nice favor for his niece and son."
"Yeah, though I wonder who he did it with..." Red raised a brow, just what he meant by did it with.
"Uh, cousin, what do you mean?"
"N-nothing... Don't worry about it," the cat-human mix sweat dropped "you're not old enough for that information."
Ozpin continued, "So you want to join Beacon..."
"More than anything..." Red replied with hope.
"Welcome to Beacon Academy Ms. Rose, what about you Mr. Branwen?"
"If Ruby goes, I'll go."
Ruby smiled, she'd be going with her cousin and sister, she felt safe with them, but she was scared of bullies, how'd she look in front of everyone because of how she was moved forward two years?
About a week later, the now trio was busy chatting on the Bullhead.
"Oh goodness! My sister and and cousin are both coming with me to Beacon~!" Yang sung.
"Yang calm down, it's only a Academy."
"A prestigious one at that, Y/n." Yang replied, she did have a point, but Y/n and Ruby got in from one fight, that isn't very selective.
"But... Nevermind, let's just enjo-"
"Nefarious Roman Torchwick continues to evade Vale Police, if you have any knowledge on his whereabouts, please contact the police. Thank you." Cyril Ian, one of the staff members for VNN, was then continued on by Lisa Lavender, "Thank you Cyril, this week's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when White Fang members disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful community has now disrupted..."
The hologram gets shut off only to be replaced by a hologram of Glynda,"Hello and welcome to Beacon!"
"Who is that?"
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."
"Oh,"
"You are among a 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 is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."
"Boring..." Y/n puts on his headphones and continued listening to music and reading.
A blonde passes them clutching his stomach, "Poor guy."
"Yang, you have puke on your shoe."
"Ew-ew-ew-ew-ewwww!" She shakes her shoe in a attempt to get rid of the mess.
A hour goes by before the shop docks and students flood out. Y/n without any words walks off, confusing the two.
"What the...? Yang you're not leaving me like him are you?"
A bunch of students surround her as she's the carried off. "Gotta go, see ya, bye!"
Ruby falls down, only to be offered a hand by the blond from earlier. She grabs it and is brought up to her feet, locking eyes with him.
"Name's Jaune, short, rolls off the tongue, and ladies love it!"
"Do they now?"
"My mom says it- nevermind..."
They walk down a pathway, making small talk before Ruby brings up a question.
"What's your weapon?"
"Oh! It's this," he draws Crocea, the sword of the duo, and then bringing out Mors, the shield, "its name is Crocea Mors, my sword and shield which is a hand-me-down from my great grandfather." Jaune spoke, he was nervous as she had a literal gun, that looked pretty dangerous.
"Ooo~ it's nice!" She then slammed own her weapon, now in scythe mode, "this is Crescent Rose!"
"A scythe..?"
"It's also a customizable high impact sniper rifle."
"A what?" Jaune asked confused.
"It's also a gun." Ruby explained simply. "I guess I did go overboard designing it."
"You designed that!?" Ruby nods, "...wow"
Ruby spots a discarded dust crystal, she picks it up, sniffing in some of the contents. She sneezes and causes a explosion, Jaune backs up as a girl with two butlers following walks up to her.
"What are you doing?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?!" She began berating Ruby for it.
"I'm sorry princess..." Ruby replies.
"Actually it's heiress." A amber eyed female walked up with Y/n alongside her.
"Finally, some recognition!" She exclaimed.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company: one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world... The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." She continued.
"How dare you- the nerve of- Ugh!" Weiss stormed off in a fit of rage, the butlers speeding after her.
Y/n smiles at his friend.
"That was pretty decent of you, Blake." Y/n thanked his friend.
"Yeah yeah," she walks off, being followed by Y/n.
Jaune helps Ruby up again, before they continued off again.
After a few minutes, they found themselves in a ballroom, Ozpin cleared his throat, before speaking.
"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 – 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."
"When will he ever stop using that?" Y/n questioned.
"What?" Ruby asked back.
"Did I mention that he uses that speech every time he introduced new students to Beacon?"
"No."
"Well now you do."
"Anyways, how was your day Ruby?" Yang asked.
"You mean after I exploded?"
"Y/n she didn't... Y'know explode?" Yang moved onto Y/n.
"By your definition of exploded, no, no she did not," Y/n assured, "but she did sneeze off of what was fire dust."
Yang silently giggled before Weiss came up to them.
"You!" Weiss shouted.
"Oh God, it's happening again!" Ruby cried out.
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!"
"You really did explode..." Yang whispered.
"Ugh, take this!" Weiss showed her a pamphlet for the Schnee Dust Company.
"What is...?"
"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to Dust application and practice in the field." Weiss rambled on.
"Uh...?"
"Wanna make it up to me? Read this and never speak to me again-" Weiss was cut off.
"ENOUGH! Can't you try and get along, just because your shitty company is famous and produces dust does not give you the right to go and speak to my cousin like that." Y/n boomed after the two continued to bicker.
"I... I'm sorry, I guess we can go shopping, paint out nails, and talk about cute boys like short, blond and scraggly over there," she pointed to Jaune.
"Really?"
"No." Weiss walks off.
"I swear I'm gonna rip her fucking spine out." Y/n threatened.
The two half-sisters sweat dropped and decided to wait patiently for any other announcements. Glynda stepped up and spoke, Ozpin watching from afar.
"You are to meet up in this Ballroom this evening. And without you can go familiarize yourself with Beacon's layouts." Glynda spoke before walking off with Ozpin.
Another few hours passed, the students were busy chatting with each other. The Ballroom was packed full of sleeping bags, tents and others. Ruby, and Yang was seen laying next to each other, Ruby writing something.
"Beacon's exciting, right?"
"Yeah yeah... But I don't think dad would like all the boys here though..."
"I know I do~" Yang purrs before stopping because of Jaune in a onesie, awkwardly waving at her. She groans before moving to Ruby.
"Whatcha doing?" Yang asked.
"Writing back to my friends at Signal, I promised to tell them all about Beacon."
"Awwww, you miss them-".Yang was met by a pillow to the face by a embarrassed Ruby.
"You know you do, kinda like how've you been talking about a certain boy-" another pillow is thrown at Yang, before she stops. "Hey, there's a silent girl over there, let's see how you do with earning her friendship."
"How about no-" Ruby was dragged towards Blake.
"Hey!" Yang calls out.
Blake turns to them, before sighing and putting up her book.
"Hello, what do you want?"
"Heard you helped my sister, came to thank you and wondered if you-
"No. I will not be friends with her, only because I helped her doesn't mean I'm willing to."
"Aw, at least tell us what you're doing."
"Reading a book, in which I'm gonna continue doing."
Ruby finally speaks up,
"What book is it?" Blake looks at her, causing her to blush slightly.
"A book of a two souls fighting over the control of a body." Blake spoke.
"That sounds nice. My sister, cousin, and dad used to read me fairy tails every night, I always hoped that at least of them could've happened."
"That's quite the ambition, however fairy tales are only fairy tales, not real."
Ruby saddens at this before walking off with Yang.
However with Y/n, he's busy strolling with a cat onesie on, rocking it with finesse like Jaune, the two were busy showing off.
Despite the laughs they got, they enjoyed it.
The next day, the students walked to their respective lockers, grabbing their weapons and preparing for initiation, Ruby was with Yang, cuddling Crescent Rose.
"Ready for initiation Ruby?" Yang asked.
"Yeah, no more getting to know you stuff, I can let my baby do the talking~" she caresses Crescent Rose.
Yang giggled.
With Weiss and a other girl, they were talking.
"So, Pyrrha, what team are you planning on joining?" Weiss asked.
"Not real plan, just let the pieces fall where they may." Pyrrha replied.
"I was hoping we could be on one."
"That sounds lovely." Pyrrha complimented.
"This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now - we'll be popular, we'll be celebrities, we'll get perfect grades! Nothing could come between us now!" Weiss maniacally whispered to herself, only to be interrupted by Jaune.
"Y'know what else is lovely? Jaune Arc, nice to meet you."
Pyrrha let out a cherry hello at this, while Weiss grumbled.
"So you two are discussing teams? Should be on mines, Weiss." Jaune spoke.
"I would like to be on yours-" Pyrrha tried to say, "Yeah yeah, so, Weiss, are ya up for team Jaune?" Jaune spoke.
"Do you realize who you're speaking to, right?"
"No idea snowflake," Jaune idiotically said,
"This is Pyrrha Nikos, world famous fighter?" Pyrrha greeted again.
"Nope,"
"She won the tournament four times in a row? A new record!"
"Nuh-uh"
"Icon on the Pumpkin Pete's Cereal box?"
"Oh! You're her?" Jaune asked Pyrrha, only for her to sheepishly nod.
"Now do you think that you can treat her like that?"
Jaune's expression saddens as he shakes his head.
"I think you'd make a great team leader."
"Thanks."
The PA system audibly turns on.
"Can all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff, I repeat, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff." Glynda spoke.
The students then began flooding out towards the cliff, today was initiation and surely they wouldn't fail.
