"Like poet without pain. Like a beauty without Rage. Like an Innocence without a life to save!!!" - The Ever, Red
Hours earlier
Tai Yang drove the girls to the airship port of Patch. He eventually found parking in the god forsaken parking lot close to the entrance. Spots like that are favored by many and can get crazy. Then onc he turned off the car he looked back to Ruby and Yang.
"So girls ready to head to Becon?" Tai asked.
"Yes/Yep." Ruby and Yang said in sync.
"Ok." Tai said.
"Hay dad?" Ruby said.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for everything." Ruby replied smiling.
"Your welcome sweetheart." Tai said
He reached over and kissed hers and Yangs foreheads as they leave the car with there bags. He then sighs as he watches them go.
"There good kids Tai. You raised them well." The car radio spoke.
"I know Damage. I know. I just wish she was here to see them go off. Maybe even send them off with her favorite cookies." Tai replied as he looked at the Autobot symbol on his steering wheel.
"Yeah...I miss her to." the radio replied with sadness. As well as regret.
Present
He sat quietly as the Cybertronians and young teens of Remnant talked with one another. His visor looked a out he the people talking. His eyes fell onto one girl dressed in Black and Red. He scoffed at the idea of a wide eyed innocent teen like her going into this type of work. She is the prime example of those who are not willing to kill another person if it was there job to. That much was certain when he saw her last night. However all he did was listen to the voices around him. They where all wide eyed teens like her.
Thoughts and stories of grand battles and glory. He scoffed at this. Often wondering why they lie to themselves of the reality of that this type of career does to the mind. Especially the soul whos been doing this for years. Looking at his scroll on his gauntlet. He got another message from Ozbin.
"Prepare them when they land."
He then waited at his seat near the tv haloscreen looking at the news.
With Ruby she and her sister Yang decided to stay together before they got off and met with some of Yangs friends to help get used to the new atmosphere she was going to. Yang felt that the air was tense and decided to open Ruby up.
"I cant believe my little sister is going to Becon with me. How did you do it!?" Yang asked
"We'll I kind a impressed the headmaster when I tried to attempt to stop a robbery. But...the Criminal escaped but I did stop many of his goons though." Ruby replied.
"Oh. Wow that would have been cool to meet him face to face."
"Yeah it was. But one of his colleagues...wasn't so for Headmaster's choice. He seemed agitated and angry. He also mentioned someone named Gretchen he "apparently" knew."
"Well if we see him let me know. I'll take "good" care of him for yea."
Ruby looked appalled at that.
"No he had some valid points he pointed out. But he's probably just a pro so we wont see him much if not at all." Ruby replied.
"Ok then Rubes." Yang smiled.
"Hay Ruby!!!" called out Bumblebee from the crowd.
"Bumblebee?" Ruby stated in reply.
Bumblebee in his yellow and racing stripe glory walked up to them. As well as a Red and yellow Autobot.
"So this is the girl you told me about Bee?" The red Autobot asked.
"Yeah Hotrod. This is Ruby. The girl I told you about." Bumblebee happily replied.
"huh and here I thought dad saying 'calling my motorcycle Bumblebee was a mistake' its still not but now its gonna be a bit confusing." Yang added.
"Well its nice to meet you two. Im Hotrod." the Red and yellow Autobot said.
"Hay Hotrod Im Ruby and this is my sister Yang!" Ruby replied as Yang waved with a smile.
However they where interrupt when the news blared to life.
"And thats it for the weather today. Back to you Lesa." said a ancorman.
Then the scene on the haloscreen changed to a pale purple haired women.
"Thank you Cerial. Things got heated at the Faunus Mistral Civil rights protest. When members of the whitefang came out and detonated a car IED or a Car Improvised Explosive Device in the crowd that consisted of Humans who where along with the protest. Sources say that the Cars gas tank was rigged to exploed when the owner who was also a human. Turned on the ignition causing it to explode. As of now fifteen Faunus and Humans are dead and many hundreds wounded and are still getting treated for there wounds for shrapnel. Three of the dead victims where child whos parents where a human and Faunus couple. In other news."
The halogram was shut off before the ancorwomen said anymore as there was a sense of dread in the air. And the one who turned it off was a black colored machine who had a arm shield on his left arm and a gun at his hip with a mortar tube attached to its odd looking backpack. He had half of a decepticon symbol as well half of a Autobot symbol on its right sholder pad.
A girl dressed in black and white with a bow in her hair clenched her hands and her amber cat like eyes narrowed at the empty space the haloscreen took. Many Faunus on the airship felt a blow to there collective moral. They all looked down knowing that this bombing was only giving humans all the more reason to hate them. The humans on the other side felt like they couldn't breath. As much as the humans of Vale treat the faunus. Things like this keep setting things back.
"They had it coming if you ask me" Said a brown haired boy with blue eyes. "Hell Those uncle toms had it coming."
The black colored robot with the half symbol looked at the boy and narrowed its yellow optics from under its red visor. It then knelt down to face the boy.
"Have you no decency? Fifteen people where killed. Three of which where children. And many more wounded. Humans and Faunus died and got hurt. Have you no soul?" the machine stated.
"What do you care Decepticon Freak!!!? You fought the autobots and there allies during the great war and Faunus Civil war. And you lost. I dont think your at liberty to talk to me. Cardin Winchester!" the boy replied with a smerk.
The black machine recoiled at that. Sure he personal made the mistake of choosing the decepticons side but he'd be damned if he didn't own up to them. His robotic fingers clenched into a fist wanting to crush the kid named Cardin.
"You see that everyone he wants to crush me. I think he should be imprisoned." Carden shouted in a false sense of emergency. "You cant even fight me back or even come up with a comeback. God your so touchy. Did I hurt your feelings decepifreak?"
The black machine stood up and walked away immediately. Not wanting to cause trouble for anyone or bot. Both mechanical hands turned to fists. He then looked back and warned him.
"The next time you see me and you need help. HUMAN. I'll let the grim feast your corpse." the machine growls back before leaving the deck.
"Hah he couldn't even fight back. How nice." Cardin said.
Everyone in on the deck wanted to punch him till he hurts. But they'd get expelled before even stepping foot on the Academy grounds.
"You know. Making enemies your first day of school isnt wise." said a voice from a radio.
Ruby and Yang looked to there left to see Raku walking up to Cardin. Ruby tugged Yangs hand mouthing "Thats him". Yang understood that was the man who told her sister to not go to Becon early. And all they could do at the time is watch.
"You know its people like you that makes me glade your types of fuckers die on the first easy job in the feild." Raku taunted Cardin.
"Oh and who pray tell are you armored dick?" Cardin said.
Raku stepped infront of Cardin. Clearly taller then the brown haired teen. As well as intimidated him.
"You think your so tough. Let me ask you this kid. What if your always spouting that shit and your in deep into a situation that gets you wounded out of the fight. And if your teammates who are Faunus have to bail. Guess what. Want to know something? They'll leave you behind to die because your not worth there own lives to save one asshole who thinks about himself. I've seen this happen to many times from both Humans and Faunus. Both races are without sin. But that does not give you the right to mock what just happened. News flash boy your teammates are your life. You look after one another like brothers. But if you treat them like shit. They have more then enough reason to look other way and to there other teammates and forget you where there." Raku stated.
He then turned to leave but Cardin gritted his teeth. He then pulled out his Mace and swung down to crush Rakus head. But what the angry boy didn't expect was that Raku caught his suprise attack. He then pulled the mace forward and stuck out his elbow. The force pulled Cardin into his elbow. Cardins armor dented with the force as air escaped the students lungs. Cardin then held his chest as he fell backwards to the ground.
Everyone was shocked at what they saw. It was so fast that it looked like they saw it in slow motion. Raku then kneels down to Cardins level as he stared into the teens eyes with his blood red visor.
"Next time if you want to try attacking me with a weapon. Remember to study your opponent thats great with hand to hand. Also you may want to consider not wearing that heavy armor as it can restrict your movement. Also consider doing it when your mind is clearly incontrol of your fucking emotions. Now if I hear this type of shit in my Classroom. Be warned. Your gonna be my practice dummy to show the class that people like you always get knocked down a peg or two. Be it verbally or if I have to pound it into that useless skull of yours that probably has no brain in it. See you in class Kid." Raku stated as he walked away.
No one said a word. Till he left but they just went to talking with there friends. Ruby, Yang, Bumblebee, and Hotrod looked at eachother as of waiting for a conversation to start.
"So Bee told me a lot about you." Hotrod said. "He also said that Ozbin let you in early."
"Oh well thats nothing." Ruby blushed at the praise.
"Nothing you helped me stop the robbery." Bumblebee stated
"We'll. I just dont want people to think that im special. Just a normal girl with normal knees." Ruby replied.
"But you where fast Red. I mean not as fast as me!" Bumblebee stated.
"Ah Bee did you forget who out ran you during the CFT?" Hotrod rebuffs
(A/N: CFT=Combat Fitness Test)
"Right like you did." Bumblebee retorts rolling his optics.
"Keep telling yourself that Hotshot." said a red Autobot with horns on his helm.
"Oh great you passed basic?" Bumblebee sighs in annoyance.
"Yeah. What ate you doing here?" Hotrod asked.
"What do you mean? Im heading to Becon as well." the Autobot asked.
"Who are you?" Yang asked.
"Names Cliffjumper." Cliffjumper said.
"You to know him?" Ruby asked
"Yeah we went to basic with him. He got us in trouble a lot with his antics." Bumblebee said as he thought of a the stuff he did.
"Seems like my type of guy to pare up with." Yang said
"Trust us you dont." Hotrod said.
"Hay!!!!" said the shrek of a white haired teen girl with a snow flake symbol on her jacket. "Do you have any idea what you could have done you klutz!!!?"
Ruby and the others looked to there left to see a rather bulky Autobot who was trying his best to not knock over some stuff but unfortunately lightly bumped into the teen.
"Sorry ma'am I didn't mean to break your suit case. Shouldn't that be in the storage deck?" He said then questioned.
"Why? This is dust Mined and purified at the Schnee quarry. Do you have any idea what could have happened?" she ranted
"ahhhh no. If you mean exposed then that already happened when you knocked over the case and I stepped on it" the green Autobot stated as he looked at his blacked boot.
"You insufferable dolt!" the white themed girl stated as she left with her servants and bags.
The green Autobot decided to walk away from the scene. Which eventually led him to meet the Hotrod and Bumblebee but also the girls.
"Hay man you ok?" Bumblebee asked
"Oh yeah im ok. But dust exploding underneath your foot is rather ticklish if you ask me dont know what that one girl was talking about when she said i vould have blown us out of the sky." the green Autobot said. "I'm Bulkhead."
"Hi. Im Hotrod, thats Bee, and those two humans are half sisters Yang and Ruby." Hotrod said quickly.
"Well I better get to the front so I dont crush anybody or anything." Bulkhead said as ge moved on.
"Well that be a good idea." Hotrod said off handily.
"Well catch you guys later." Bumblebee said as the two Autobots walked off.
Ruby and Yang waved goodbye as the two left. Signing Ruby sat down as Yang did the same. They then heard the news go off again as someone had turned on the haloscreen again.
"In other news last weeks latest story. The whitefang and the decepticon gang known as "Megatrons Chosen" have tried to rob a Schnee Dust Company train that was heading to Mistral. Both got into a short fight but thanks to the Captain of Atlas's special forces managed to get both the whitefang and the "Chosen" to retreat for the SDC to retrieve the missing cargo but unfortunately the dust cars exploded as the decepticons decided to blow up the cars in the back of the train. Killing twenty of the train car crews. Wounding several whitefang extremists. As well as having the SDC lose millions worth of dust and atlas tech. When we tried interviewing the Atlas captain but he refused to talk to us and disappeared most likely to report to his superiors. In other news."
The transmission was cut off when the blond Ruby met last night
"Greetings everyone." Glynda said in the message.
"Whos that?" Yang asked
Ruby was going to answer but was cut off by Goodwitch. She was honestly getting tired of getting to speak to answer something.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch. And I would like to welcome you to our prestigious academy. You are the next protectors of the people. And its our job to give you the knowledge and the tools needed for you to be the Guardian's of the people. And once again Welcome to Becon Academy."
The girls and the Autobots looked out the window to see Vale.
"Wow you can see our home from here." Ruby said as she saw there log cabin home from patch from where they where so high up.
"Becons our home now." Yang said as she put a arm around Ruby.
On the Grounds of Becon
Glynda looked on from Ozbins office. The ticking of the gears that resounded in the room impregnated as the noise went on continuously. Many many storys up from the bottom she looked out to see the air ships coming. She bit her lip as she tuned to her boss.
"Is it best to have him as a instructor here?" Glynda said. "You know how he can get. Especially with what he went through as a child and now. He still suffers from nightmares."
"PTSD or Shell Shock is a common thing with warriors like him. You must remember when Atlas trained him. He was trianed to not only to handle Grim. But also other people. As sad as it is. People killing people is as much heart wrenching as it is losing them to the grim. I only hope that he learns to be Human again." Ozbin replied sipping his coffee.
"Sir you may need to have a look at this." Glynda said as she handed him a data pad.
Ozbin took it with one hand. It was the Student roster. His eyebrow rose woth interest.
"So. They decided to come." Ozbin stated.
"Wasn't that tribe wiped out?" Glynda asked.
"As far as I know no. There just hard to find and even when found not many return. And those that do are chnaged people. But to think the Heir and Heiress of that tribe would come here. Thats is interesting."
His eyes scaned the three names. As if he knew something Glynda didn't.
"Isn't that the girl who shot her father and her mother is in a insane asylum?" Glynda asked.
"Yes. She was cleared of any psychological damage. However the girls mother on the other hand. Its tragic to say the least."
"At least that monster is in prison. Why they didn't execute him i dont know." Glynda said
"True. Maybe he knows something we dont. And we've been questioning him for the past nine years. Though the third individual has my interest as he looks similar to someone. But I quite cant put my finger on it." Ozbin said as he stared at the three photos.
All three students wore armor. But not just any armor. Its all made with Cybertronian Metal. The only other suits of armor he knews uses that type of metal is the Atlas Mark lll "Headhunter" Exosuit Raku wears. And there style is most certainly made obvious. The only girl of the three had shoulder length white hair and white cat ears. Pale skin. Blue eyes. her armor was slimmer then the other two. The Cybertron metal covered her chest, lower legs, and had a fur like hood around her sholders and a red cloak coming down her back that reaches to her knees.
The next one had short black hair, light tan skin, Orangish red eyes, And his armor mad him lools lile a battle warlock of old. His his pants and boots looked like they where separate but also air sealed together. What looked like a olive green jacket covered his chest but it also extended to the back and his sides. Thick combat gloves covered his hands and sholder pieces looked like that of a old fanfashioned knight. His collar was up to his neck as something grey was also around his neck that looked like it was ment to seal up his head inside a helmet. Last but not least a metal bond was underneath his left sholder pad that emitted a neon lighted symbol of a square turned to the side to look like a diamond but has marks went down the right sode of it to make it look like a half rectangle was comings down it.
Last but not least. A brown haired young man that looked like he was a year younger then the two. He had dark blue lookilooking eyes that held a cold presence to them. His skin was pale like the girl but he war bulkier armor then the other two. He hand a very think chest plate, Sholder pads encased the young mans sholders that looked similar to the Atlas Atmospheric Drop shock troopers. Gauntlets looked rectangular with what looked like a scrool was on the left gauntlet. His legs where armored up as well. Magazine rigs, and bullets where also on the chest plate as well as two grenades that looked like a mix of a pineapple and a regular round grenade.
"Hum...Hewitt Malphur. That last name sounds very familiar. Uldren Doss and Miss Maira Sov. Why do those last names sound like I should know them." Ozbin thought.
"Should we pull them to the side?" Glynda asked.
"No. Dont. Thats not necessary." Ozbin said. "Lets get ready for the students to arrive."
"Of course sir." Glynda said as they went to the elevator.
Courtyard
Everyone got off the airship. Ruby and Yang quickly passed by a blond boy who clearly has a motion sickness issue as he was puking into a trash can. Deciding to ignore his sickly misery. They passed him quickly as they came to what looked like a statue of two Huntsman crushing a beowolf. Ruby and Yang where at awe as the Transformers and students are walking about the grounds. However as Yang liked the scenery Ruby was looking at the weapons. She turned into a floating 2D chibi pointing at the various weapons she spoted.
"Ohhh sis that guy has a Collapsible Staff!!! And Ohhh she's got a fire sword!!!" Ruby said as she drifted towards that one girl only to he pulled back by Yang. "Ow ow."
"Come on sis. Theres got to he more to life then weapons. Cant you swoon over your own?" Yang replied.
At that Ruby expanded her sniper Scythe to its full length. Petting like she would a affectionate pet.
"Of course I love 'Crescent Rose'. I just like seeing news. There like meeting new people...But better."
"Oh come on Ruby you got to make new friend's." Yang said pulling Rubys hood down.
However Before Ruby could reply someone spoke up.
"Really thats starting to become a problem today why?" She thought.
"So you decided to come?" Raku said standing infront of the two half sisters.
"What do you have against my sister?" Yang said as she looked ready to hit him.
"Im sorry Ms.Xiolong but I wasnt talking to you." Raku stated causing Yang to start getting angry.
"Yang dont. He said on the airship he was a teacher. And even if he was a student youd be kicked out for starting a fight." Ruby said trying to calm her down.
"hum...Id expected better from the girl who was trained by Tai. But clearly something happened to cause you to be a wild child." Raku stated in a emotionless tone.
"And how would you know that?" Yang glared back.
"Simple. The clothing you wear is ment to turn heads at you rather then a more conservative look that your sister wears. You rather show off and not to mentioned your prone to letting your anger get the best of you. If I didn't know any better id say you have parent issuse what They are could be a list all on there own. But clearly whats obvious is you got some abandonment issues. Isnt it?"
Yangs eyes widened as her hands clenched into fists. Her anger was rising.
"Yang dont." Ruby said softly.
Yang continued to glare at Raku who only stared at them. No hint of emotion at all. And when he talked about her and her style of cloths. It wasn't in a mocking tone. As he began to think about what he was saying. He was acting rather unusual. Saying things that are truth...but not caring if it hurts another persons feelings. Was he observing them? Raku sighs as he turns around.
"If you need me I'll always be in my Classroom." Raku stated as he continued to walk away.
"That was weird. It looked like he was...talking to you more then me." Ruby stated.
"Yeah...like he knew who we where." Yang said rather uncomfortably.
"Well back to our earlier conversation. Why would I need friends when I have you?" Ruby asked.
"Well theres my friends got to go bye!" Yang replied fast as a group of individuals took Yang away like the speed of light.
Ruby was spun like a top. Now dizzy and very lightheaded. She was stumbling backwards.
"Wait where we supposed to go to our dorms. Do we even have dorms? where are our dorms? I dont know what im doing." Ruby said as she fell on a familiar white themed girls luggage.
"Seriously what is it with you dolts and my luggage!!!!?" screamed the white haired girl.
"ah..." Ruby couldnt reply.
"Do you know wthat this is?"
"um.." Ruby was gonna answer but was stopped as the white haired girl continued.
"This is Dust mined and purified by the Schnee quarry!" she stated in a high tone.
"Um are you gonna let me answer or..?" she was cut off again.
"Are you listening? Water, fire, wind. Energy. Is any of this sinking in?" the girl said as she was waving a improperly sealed dust jar
"Well I would reply if everyone would stop talking for more then...why does my nose feel like sneezing." Ruby thought as she sneezed causing a explosion. "Well that answers that..."
"See this is exactly what im talking about!!!" The white haired girl continued.
"Im really. Really sorry." Ruby replied fidgeting with her fingers.
"Why do you have to be a complete dolt! Dont you know who I am!" the girl yelled disregarding Rubys apology.
"Hay I said I was sorry 'princess' Ice Queen." Ruby replied without containing her own annoyance.
"Its Heiress actually."
A black themed girl stated as she walked forward holding the white girls discarded dust bottle. She also held a book in her other hand.
"Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." the black themed girl said.
"Aww. Finally some recognition." Weiss said with Pride.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." The blake themed girl continued.
Weiss pride then deflated into a scrambling mess.
"Why you...Grrrrrr!!!!"
Weiss just walked up to her and grabbed the jar and walked away. Not feeling like she wanted to deal with that. Her butler's started grabbing her things and putting them back on the rollers. Ruby on the ither hand was giggling at what happened. But then stopped to greet the black dressed girl. Only she found herself alone in the courtyard. Sighing im defeat at probably making a enemy she let herself fall onto her back.
"Welcome to Becon." She mutrered to herself.
"The fuck you doing on the ground?" Raku said standing over her.
"Are you gonna be condescending while I'm here?" Ruby replied without so much as looking at him.
"No why the hell is a fucking Huntress letting a piss poor meeting like that get you down?" Raku stated
"You have no social skills do you." Ruby just off handedly says.
"True. But at least I have my own personal reasons to avoid crowds. Kids like you should be craving attention if Ozbin even thought about you being here."
"Your point?" Ruby replied.
"Get off your ass. And make some friends or something. I dont know what you teens do now a days."
"Your to blunt for your own good." Ruby stated as she sat up.
"The truth hurts. Nor does it care about your feelings." Raku stated before he left. Again.
Ruby sighed again as she laid back down onto the paved road to the castle like Academy. Footsteps sounded off as she turns her head to see a familiar blond boy who seemed to have puked earlier. He was extending a hand.
"High. Im Jaune." The boy said.
Taking his hand up and some of Rakus condescending advice. She got up with a bit of help.
"Ruby." she said as she was helped up.
She thensnorted and giggled as a thought came to her head.
"Didn't you puke on the air ship?" she asked.
They started walking around the grounds and talking about Jaunes apparent Air sickness issue. Which lead to Rubys crater face problem. Which lead to laughter and lightning the mood.
"So Where you from?" Ruby asked.
"Oh Im from a family out in Vales wilds. My dad...Never mind. Anyways where you from?" Jaune replied.
"Oh Vale. In the Island of Patch."
"Wow. Actually I think my parents have a house on Patch." Jaune said in thought.
"So whatcha got as a weapon?"
"Oh I got this sword. And this sheild." Jaune said while fiddling with the two objects.
He then clumsily handled the shields till he eventually got it onto his gauntlet.
"The Shield turns into a scabbard. So when I'm done. So you know i can ah...put it away..."
"Wouldnt weigh the same?"
"Yeah it does." Jaune replied in defeat.
As they continued to walk Ruby pulled out her weapon and transformed it into her syth form.
"Well I got this." Ruby said
"Wow is that a syth?" Jaune asked.
"Its also a customizable. High impact Sniper rifle."
She then pulled the bolt back and sent it forward loading air into the chamber from a empty magazine.
"Ah what?" Jaune asked.
"Its also a fucking Gun you idiot!!" shouted a bystandard
"Oh thats cool. You made it yourself?"
"Yep. Well I think I did go a bit over board with the design. So what made you want to be a Huntsman?" Ruby asked.
Jaune then had a saddened look in his by then covered it quickly with a mask.
"Oh well my family's been a warrior clan for centuries. My great great Grandfather was in the Great war. and my grandfather was in the Faunus Civil war, and my Dads a retired Huntsman." Jaune said with a smile.
Ruby smiled as she looked forward.
"What about you?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you want to he a Huntress?" Jaune asked.
Ruby stiffens and stops. She remembered all the good times she had with her parents and her sister. Even her parents Autobot partners Damage and Mortarman. She then smiles as well trying to hide thoughts of grief.
"My parent where a Huntsmans. My mom would always read to me storys and tales of good fighting evil. And when my mom would go out on missions and come back she would tell me her tales about them. Even some history of the area she was going to. I guess. I just wanted to be like her." Ruby beamed with a smile so innocent it would put lolis to shame.
"Huh. Where not so different then. For me. Family history. you. Your mother." Jaune replied.
"Yeah. I guess so." Ruby blushed a bit.
"So do you know where we are supposed to go or..." Jaune asked
"What I was following you." Ruby stated.
"oh...Think there's a directory?" Jaune asked.
Then then looked up and saw a sign on a low hanging chain. It read 'Arena/Mission boards'. There was also a sign under it that said. 'First Year students welcoming Area'.
"Huh. Guess that answers that." Ruby said as they both walked in.
They see that all the students have been gathered into there small little groups waiting for the Headmasters speech. Ruby immediately noticed Yang who 2as waving.
"Ruby. I saved you a spot!" Yang yelled.
"Oh thats my sister. Gotta go see you later" Ruby waved goodbye d left the blond.
"No wait comeback." Jaune said before Ruby left. "Oh...Wheres a awkward red head to talk to?"
Little did he know a Actual Red haired girl was looking at him with interest. Ruby walked to Yangs side but had a very angry look on her face.
"So whos the new friend?" Yang asked.
"Oh hes my new friend. Right after you ditched me and nearly destroyed the entire courtyard by accident." Ruby hotly replied.
"Are you being sarcastic?" Yang asked.
Ruby then gave her a frown and her eyes narrowed.
"Does it look like im being sarcastic?" Ruby asked.
"Ahhhhh..."
"You!!!" Shouted Weiss cutting off Ruby.
Ruby jumped in suprise into Yangs arms as if from a ScoobyDoo cartoon.
"My god its happening again!!!!" Ruby stated a bit to loudly.
"Your lucky we werent almost blown off tge side of the cliff." Weiss ranted.
"Huh...what do you know. You did explode." Yang off handily said to no one.
"It was a accident!!" Ruby replied as she got back onto her feet. Then a pamphlet was shoved into her face. "Whats this?"
"TheSDC...(incoherent rantings of rules that sound like the adults of Charlie Brown)" Weiss said unexpectedly very fast as of rehearsed
"Ah..."
"You wanna make it up to me?" Weiss asked.
"Absolutely." Ruby replied nervously.
"Read this and dont ever speak to me again." Weiss said.
"Didn't you come up to me?" Ruby thought as a sweatdrop went down her head.
"Hay maybe you two just got off the wrong foot when you both met. How about I dont know starting over?"
"Yeah*Ruby rolled her eyes*...High Weiss. Im Ruby. We could go out shopping for school supplies." Ruby stated Sarcastically.
"Oh and we can try on cloths. Paint our nails and talk about boys like tall scraggly over there." Weiss replied with equal sarcasm.
"Really?" Yang said with hope.
"No." Weiss stated as she then turned her attention to the stage.
"Told you." Ruby said.
"Oh come on Ruby. You did make one friend right?" Yang asked.
"Yes. The point is?" Ruby asked.
"Never mind." Yang sighs in defeat.
A microphone was tapped on to test if it was working. Then Ozbin nodded to Glynda, Raku, and the rest of the staff.
"Ill keep this brief. Many of you have come here in search of Knowledge. To hone your craft. And defecate your lives to serving the people. But all me and my combat instructor's see is wasted energy. Thats why this school is founded. To help guide and nurture your paths to becoming the Huntsman and Huntresses you can become at your full potential. But as many of you will find out sooner or later. That knowledge will only carry you so far as one instructor will tell you. But Experience can trump anything. Its is only up to you to take the first steps. That will be all." Ozbin finished as he stepped down.
"Yor will gather in the ball room tonight. Rest up for tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. Raku please give the plans for the day and tomorrow." Glynda said as she stepped down and Raku stood up.
"It is 1300 right now. Dinner Chow is in the cafeteria at 1800. Lights out at 2000. Showers for the females is 1900 to 1930. Males are to showers at 1930 and be put at 1945. What you do then between now and 1800 is up to you. Id recommend working out or training. If you do there are gendered bathrooms and lockerrooms that are open all day but showers are out at 2000. Oh and if your not in your designated bathroom to your gender...lets just say you and i have a date with the blacktop. Its not gonna be a fun one ether." Raku stated
"What if we identify as a male or female?" a random student asked.
"I dont give a shit what you identity as. I dont give a damn if you identify as a Syth that transforms into a Highimpact sniper rifle. Non of this Political Correctness Bullshit will be enforced. But if you harrass, assault or sexually assult someone. you will be on a one way ticket to the Vale Police Department. And kiss your chance of being a Huntsman goodbye. As well as yave your reputation tarnished and your family name dragged through the mud. However if you lie about these types of things then the liar will be punished to the fullest extent of the Law. Believe it or not. False accusations are quite common. Its a ugly mess and trust me I and a lot of Staff will not be so kind when it comes to more paperwork you make for us. So be responsible for yourselfs. Or you cam have my foot shoved so far up your ass that the sweat from my knee will quench your thirst. Any other stupid political questions?" Raku stated. "No? Then your free. But take what I said to heart. And when i make a promise. Especially when it comes to dealing put punishment. You would rather have Glynda disciplining you then me."
Raku them walked off the stange amd disappeared. The girls looked like they where in some sprt of military drama after hearing all that. Then what seemed to somewhat lighten the mood was Jaune coming up to Weiss.
"Im a natural blond." Jaune said with a bit if wit.
Weiss just face palmed at Jaunes attempt to flirt with her. She even wondered if he knew the meaning of her last name as the Heiress to the SDC."
"Wow. Raku has a...colorful personality. He went from defending people to giving me and Ruby some advice to chewing us out like a Atlas Shock trooper in a matter of a Hour. He definitely has something going on with him." Yang stated.
"It's like situations just lead hin to act differently. Maybe a split personality?" Ruby asked.
"I cant believe you two would actually want to know so much about a single staff member." Weiss stated.
"I wonder how Bumblebee is doing with Hotrod." Ruby said ignoring Weiss comment.
Cybertronian auditorium
Hotrod looked about the sea of Autobots and Decepticons with half symbols. And in the midst of the sea of machines. His optics layed upon a very particular autobot. And he wasn't paying attention to his fellow friend.
"Hay can you believe it Hotrod? Where finally at Becon. Where so close to being Autobot warriors." Bumblebee stated.
He saw his friend staring at a blue colored Autobot that was short in frame. Her helm looked like it was from the movie "Spacewars" but also looked like it had buns on the sides of her head.
"Oh I see whats going on. Your looking at that girl aren't you?" Bumblebee said.
"What No I'm not! Im not a creeper!" Hotrod said.
"Never said you where a creeper man. Well what are you waiting for? Go talk to her?" Bumblebee said.
"What no!!! Gah!!!!" Hotrod was cut off as he was pushed by his "brother" to the lone girl in the mix of the crowds. "What No Bee I never talked to a girl in my life!!!"
"Well no time better then the present." Bee said as they approached the female Autobot.
She looked at the both of them with curious optics.
"Bee I cant do this!" Hotrod whispered.
The blue Autobot was laughing at Hotrods inability to think clearly with gis friend in her processor. Thinking there was no need to help himself get to embarrassed much.
"Hello who are you?" the female Autobot asked.
Hotrod was tounge tied as what to say next. He literally thought that she would not acknowledge his presence what so ever.
"Well say something you idiot!" Bumblebee whispered.
Hotrod put our his hand nervously while his face plates had a very small hint of pink on them.
"Hotrod." he said as calmly as possible.
The girl looked at him up and down as of inspecting him. She then held his hand and shook it.
"Arcee." the female Autobot replied.
(A/N: Basically Arcee is in her G1 Frame but colored blue like in Prime)
Hotrod was silent as he shook yhe hand of a beautiful warrior such as her. Bumblebee thought he was blowing it by not saying anything more but he clearly forgot his friend is currently tounge tied right now.
"What the scrap are you doing man!?" Bumblebee whispered.
"I dont know you dragged me into this!!!!!" Hotrod whispered in reply.
"Is everything alright?" Acree asked as she saw the two friends whispering.
"What oh. Yeah everything's fine." Hotrod replied.
"Ok then. Well Im gonna meet up with a friend of mine see you sometime tomorrow." Arcee said as she walked away. "Very interesting bots."
Bumblebee looked at his friend and could only shake his head in shame.
"You totally blew it. Well you can kiss getting to know her goodbye." he said while still shaking his head.
"Well thanks for being a good wing man bro...Really thought youd help me out back there." Hotrod rolled his optics in annoyance.
"Hay you wanna try getting a girlfriend? You gotta do it yourself." Bee said.
"Oh really. Like how you got me into that situation in the first place?" Hotrod said.
But then a gun went off in the auditorium. All optics fell on one person. And all they saw in this guys was that he clearly was a vet of the War for Cybertron. Then three others entered the door the guy with the gun out did.
"Alright listen up you piles of Cybertronian shit. All of you get in columns of nine right now!!!" Said the guy with his gun out still.
The three had there hands behind there backs. There optics cold gaze told them to follow the order. One looked like a he could transform into a artillery emplacement. Another looked like he could transform into a truck and had the helm similar to that of Optimus Prime but the visor coverd his optics. And the last one looked like a Arielbot.
They didn't waste time getting into said colums of nine. Once in that formation. The Autobot put away his gun and eyed everyone in the large room evily. If a Autobot could smile that evily.
"I am Kup. I will be training you buckets of Scrap for duration in this here Huntsman Academy. These men behind me are my fellow drill instructors. They to as you would have guessed by now. Are Vets from the War for Cybertron. And they aren't the run in the mill vets ether. Oh no there not. While everyone would know me from the "Wreckers". These three men behind me are from the Specops Corps. We will dominate ypur very life's till you either die from passing out or you graduate from this here fine school. Why dont you three introduce yourselfs?" Kup said.
Then the taller one of the three that transforms into a artillery emplacement stepped up. His height was enough to intimidate even Cliffjumper to not do something shitty.
"I am Mortarman. I was in the Specops Corps for a good many cycles. That is till i found my calling in the Artillery battery Operations. But even so I am Still a Specops Corps for life. So dont piss me off or I'll blow yours off. So dont test my patience. Or I'll test all of yours." Mortarman said as he went back to his place.
The next one that stepped up to the stage everyone knew from the "Rumors" about a Autobot from the Specops Corps that wpuld have a callcard of broken legs of decepticons in his wake.
"I am Gripgrinder. I to am in the Specops Corps. Ive led assults and taken territory fastwr then you can say 'Oh Scrap'. As you know my calling card is of course 'Broken legs' well when where dome with you youd be praying for broken legs when im dome with you lot!" Gripgrinder said as he then to stepped down.
Next was the Arielbot.
"I am Skyrim. And if you cone to me with headaches. Take a tylenol and shit up." was all the gruff war vet said.
"Now that my fellow drill instructors have had the chance to introduce themselves. Lets move it out double time!!!" Kup said.
Everyone was slient as Mortarman lifted up the garage door. Be it rather violently.
"HE SAID MOVE IT YOU NASTY ASS HATS!!!" Skyrim said as he transformed and left the room.
Kup, Gripgrinder, and Mortarman transformed into there vehicle form and got out of the garage as well. Staying by the entrance all the to make sure all the Cybertronians ran out.
"FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WAMTED TO SEE A GRIM MAJOR UP CLOSE. THIS IS GINNA BE YOUR LUCKY DAY!!!!" Kup said.
He blared music from his radio as he and the three instructors where in a diamond formation around the new first years of Cybertronian Huntsman in training.
"This is gonna be a long day isn't it?" Bumblebee stated as he was feeling out of breath as the instructors picked up the pace.
"Probably." Hotrod said as he tow was starting to feel winded.
"COME ON YOU DUMB APES!!! YOU WANT A RECHARGE!? YOU GOTTA CATCH IT!" Kup said as he increased his speed at the front of the formation.
"They really want to have us hate them dont they!!?" Bulkhead thought as he eas already winded from the start.
"Come on fatass!!! Move your carcass and make room for the other's!!!!" Mortarman screamed at Bulkhead.
Becon Academy Ball room
Raku watched as the students started to head to there sleeping bags while watching people go to and from the bathrooms. Be it taking a shower or using the other parts of the facility. He stood by to make sure no pervert decided to use the wrong bathroom. Eventually his eyes fell upon the same group of teenagers that he was starting to get annoyed by.
They started shouting and talking loudly. For him being honest he would much rather bein the field rather than babysit a buch of teenage brats. He said it before and hell say it again. This life has no need for children to get involved in. But with the Grim and the whitefang. They needed Huntsman more. He didn't know why Vale decided to get rid of there army in Favor of Huntsman. If anything being a Huntsman was a glorified mercenary. He just shakes his head as the teens finally calm down and turn out the lights as it was now "Lights out".
Eventually he himself gets up and leaves his little post. Putting his weapon on his back. He got off the chair that was provided and folded up. Placing it against the wall he walked down the hall for a few minutes before stopping infront of the band room. Looking at the door a memory flashed in the back of his head. Opening the door he saw a young boy with black hair, blue eyes, and was around three foot ten inches tall.
He was crying leaning against the wall. His knees where hugged into his chest as he let the tears fall. Then out of nowhere a women with blue eyes and purple hair came through the door way and smiles at the child as Raku watched from the door way.
"Whats wrong kiddo?" the women kneeled i front of the crying boy.
"Mom. Why did they laugh at me? All I did was sing...they said it was a girl thing..." the young boy said.
The womens smile never left her face as she stood up and helped her son up. Taking him to the piano. She lifted the top that covered the keys. She then sat down and beckoned her son to sit on her lap. He did so and she held her hands over his.
"If the eyes are the windows to ones soul. Then music can calm the sorrowful heart. They laughed because they cant sing like you can sweetie. They're jealous of your gift. But trust me when I say this. When you sing. It lets out all the pain and bitterness you feel for only a moment. Let it flow out of you. People will hear your pain and know you struggled. All you have to to do is play." the women said.
She started moving her fingers along the piano keys. The childs own fingers following his mothers. The boy looked up with a smile. A innocent smile that welted the womens heart with joy. The surroundings changed back to Becons own music room. He stood infront of the piano they had. His left hand on the piano key cover. And his right felt the keys as the black ones bumped his fingers. He was about to touch a key when he halted himself from pressing down.
Pulling back his hand. He slowly dropped the piano key cover over the white and black pieces of plastic. Under his helmet he sighs as it retracted. Showing a man with the same black hair and blue eyes. But the eyes no longer held the innocence his younger self had. He then pulled out a flask and twisted off the cap and drank from it. The feeling of the whisky burned his throat a bit but faded as he stopped. He put the cap back on and put it in his pouch where he got it. And walked to the door. Looking back he took in one last glance before closing the door behind himself. Leaving the music room empty of human life.
Somewhere in Mistral
Starscream, Blackout, Bludgeon, and Barricade stood in one room together. In the dark and could only see one another with there optics on Infrared.
"Whats taking him so long!!!?" Starscream ranted impatiently.
"And here I thought you could actually go a full day without running your mouth Starscream. But you disappoint me." Blackout stated.
"Shut up Blackout. I think its time we chose a new leader!" Starscrem replied.
This declaration caused the other decepticons to sweatdrop. At Starscream incompetence.
"You have no intelligence Starscream." Bludgeon stated getting a nod fron the other decepticons.
"What was that Bludgeon!?" Starscream narrowed his optics at the samurai like decepticon.
"I mean seriously think about it Starscream. Your leadership got us no where. What in Unicrons name would make us scraping believe that you'd be any better then the last time?" Bludgeon replied.
Starscream got heated at that from the honor bound warrior.
"How dare you!!" Starscream stated.
"That is enough." Soundwave said as he walked in with a very Sythizised voice.
"Thanks Unicrons fucking spark hes back. No i dont have to listen to Starscream run his voice box. I may as well have Ripped it out of his vocal cords." Blackout stated.
"There will come a time where you may do that Blackout." Soundwave responded.
"You meam tell us the plan or Blackout ripping out my voice box?" Starscream asked nervously.
Soundwave looked at Starscream. Giving him a look that said "your a fucking idiot".
"Yes." Soundwave responded.
"Ah...To which question?" Starscream asked nervously.
"Yes." Soundwave stated a second time.
The others where trying to hold down there snickering at how masterfully Soundwave managed to troll Starscream.
"What are you piles of scrap laughing at!?" Starscream shouted.
"Oh my spark your so easy to trool." Blackout stated.
Even Soundwave let out a small chuckle.
"Now That where done with making bad jokes Bludgeon did you Locate The constructacons?" Soundwave asked Bludgeon.
He nodded be it a bitter one.
"I did. There in a village not far from Vale. But the dust we needed from that train hist didn't do well. Not to mention the robbery that took place last night was thwarted by Huntress in training and that blasted Headhunter thats been tracking us for the past year." Bludgeon replied.
"I see that is unfortunate but no matter. Send Knockout to negotiate with them. Also send along Lugnut with him just in case things go south or need a compromise." Soundwave responded.
"I don't see why we should recruit those traitors." Starscream stated.
"They are needed for our endgame plan. As well as "her". Besides I think I have a way to persuade them." Soundwave replied.
"How?" Blackout asked.
"Im pretty sure they'd want there combiner cog back after they gave it up seeking amnesty for it." Soundwave stated.
He then pulled out a odd looking piece of Cybertronian metal that looked like a gear or cog onto a table.
"How did you steal that?" Bludgeon asked in suprise.
"I didn't steal it. Lazerbeak did. Im sure it will give them the courage to rise up against the humans that oppress them." Soundwave stated.
"I dont think its going to be that easy. Even if they wanted to have it back. They've helped out so many places in Vale defended many villages. The people of Vale appreciate them. They only nay sayers are those in the Mistral council. most specifically a particular Nikos women. But there hurtful words cant hit them from a half a continent away. They have such good discipline. I wish my former student had that type of discipline." Bludgeon said a loud.
"Indeed but we have and need use for there engineering skills for this operation." Soundwave responded.
"Speaking of. Are you ever going to tell us your grand scheme?" Starscream asked.
"I have been ordered by Lord Megatron to keep it classified till further notice." Soundwave stated.
Everyone groans but at Starscreams incompetence.
"Look Starscream just shut up while your ahead." Blackout stated.
"Besides everytime we do know the plan you ruin it due to your scraping ego." Barricade stated.
"Ok first of all its not me who screwa it all up. Its you who do. Second Megatron is imprisoned.
Bludgeon and everyone else rolls there optics in annoyance.
"The fact that youe saying you dont have a ego problem means you do have one. Scraping Dumbass." Bludgeon stated.
"This is gonna be a long year." Barricade stated.
