Chapter 5: The Shining Beacon
From outside of beacon the airships can be seen slowly descending at the Cliffside top edge where there is the aerial docking bays, the Airship stopping there and opening its doors for the students to come out
Once it was opened an the blonde boy with the black hoodie and blue jeans suddenly ran out of the airship covering his mouth with his hands "Whoa…mmmm… bleeeehh… blleehh…bleh" the students could see how the boy vomits into the nearest trashcan
The two sisters Yang and Ruby are seen walking out from the airship behind the vomiting boy and the other blonde boy in black and yellow can be seen walking out of the airship trying to avoid that vomiting boy who was groaning tired after vomiting
Soon the two sisters and the rest of students reached the main avenue and they both say "wowwwwwwww…" they are amazed by Beacon Academy and the tower at the center of it all, it was something truly amazing to see
"The view from vale's got nothing on this!" Yang said as she crosses her arms
"Ooh! Ooh! Sis!" ruby said as she looks exited, "That kid has a Collapsible staff!" she said to her sister as yang looks at her unimpressed and a bit confused "and she's got a fire sword!" she said as she holds Yang's arm with happiness before letting go of her as she goes towards the other student to see their weapons, but she is grabbed from the hood on her cape by her sister "Ow, ow, ow…"
"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons." Said yang
"Just weapons?" asked ruby slightly offended "They're an extension of ourselves!, they're a part of us!, they're so cool!" ruby told her sister with joy and excitement
"Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon?, Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked as Ruby unfolds her scythe and rests it against her shoulder
"of course I'm happy with Cresent Rose!" said ruby as she just holds Cresent Rose with her left hand, "I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better" she explained to her sister
"Ruby" yang started as she pulls Ruby's hood over her head and said "come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?" yang asked Ruby with a smile
"But why would I need friends when I have you?" asked Ruby with a smile
"well…" suddenly a bunch of other students appeared behind Yang "Actually , my friends are here. Gotta go catch up!" she said as she and the other students ran past ruby "'kay, c'ya, bye!"
They left Ruby spinning "W-Wait!, Where are you going?" ruby asked and yang can be seen running away into Beacon with her other friends "Are we supposed to go to our dorms?" ruby had just stopped spinning "where are our dorms?...Do we have dorms?" she started stumbling "I don't know what I'm doing…" she said before she fell on some suit cases, all of them falling around her
"What are you doing!?" scream an annoyed girl, making the blonde boy in black and yellow look towards them, he appeared confused as he starts walking to where they are
"Uh…sorry" Ruby apologizes as she sits up before looking at the girl
Ruby was meet with a girl in white clothes and white hair who now appeared more annoyed than before "sorry?, Do you have any idea of the damage you could've cause?" asked the girl angrily as she pointed her finger at ruby
"Uhh..." ruby said as she picked up one of the suitcases with both her hands, she appeared worry and confused, she was about to give it to the girl in white when suddenly
"Gimme that!" she said angrily as she grabbed the suitcase out of Ruby's "This is Dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry" she said as she opens the suitcase
"Uhh…" ruby said again as she scratches her head and she looks slightly away
"what are you, Brain dead?" she took out a crystal dust vial "Dust, Fire, Water, Lightning, energy!" she said as she moves the hand, making some of the red powdered dust to come out from that crystal vial that wasn't correctly closed,
This red Dust powder reach ruby as she was standing up, making her to want to sneeze "Are you even listening to me?" she asked Ruby "is any of this sinking in?" from where they blonde boy now stud saw all the powder dust in the air and his eyes widened as he looks at Ruby who was about to sneeze
"what do you have to say for yourself!?" she yelled angrily at ruby, the blonde boy took some steps back to avoid the explosion that was about to come
"Uhhhhaaaahhh-Chooooo!" Ruby sneezed and that powdered dust that was in the air suddenly exploded all around them with lightning and ice Dust mixed into that explosion
The Dust vial that the girl in white was holding flew up in the air and it landed besides a girl in black wearing a bow that was reading a book, she looked at the vial and then towards to where all the commotion was happening, suddenly she felt how someone tapped her shoulder and surprised she turned around to see a blonde boy with bright blue eyes, and black and yellow clothes, he pointed at the crystal dust vial and understanding what he wanted she gave it to him, the boy smiled and nodded as they both turned to look at the girl in white
"Unbelievable!, this is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" she yelled angrily at Ruby as Ruby just taps her two pointer fingers together
"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby said as she looks at the angry girl
"Ugh! You complete, dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon" she asked more angrily at ruby and annoyed too
"Well…I…uh…" Ruby said as she looks away
"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice you know. We're here to fight monsters! So watch where you're going!" she said as she looks away
Ruby now slightly annoyed responded "Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!"
"it's Heiress, actually" said the girl in black as she walks up to them with the boy in black and yellow following behind her with the Dust vial in his robotic hand and a bag filled with coffee bags for Ozpin on his other robotic hand,
both girls noticed the boy behind him and the girl in white noticed what appeared to be wings on his back and she scowl at the boy slightly, they boy just looked at her confused and she saw his neck and noticed it had a scar, seeing this the girl in white stopped knowing that the boy that she thought was a Faunus is mute
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company" the girl in black continued and the blonde boy in black and yellow looked at the crystal Dust vial and he sealed it correctly with one hand, "one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world"
The girl in white now known as Weiss Schnee simply smirked before saying "Finally, some recognition!" and then she looked at Ruby after that
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners" the girl in black finished and the boy in black and yellow made a gesture of surprise by that information but he was actually laughing slightly
"What- How dare-!" Weis was angry and offended by that and they could hear Ruby laughing a bit too "the nerve of-!" the boy gave the Dust crystal vial and angrily she took it out of his hands, and they watch as Weiss walks away angrily
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby told Weiss as she walks away "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day." Said Ruby sadden and then she looks behind her with a smile "So what's-?" she stopped when she saw the girl in black walking away, leaving the blonde boy behind with Ruby, she looked at the boy confused before she got on her knees and then she laid on the ground, the boy just looked at her confused before he sat down beside her and smiled at her "Welcome to Beacon…"
she said and the boy just sigh as he stud up and extended his free hand towards her to help her get up, he was smiling, Ruby smiled and took his hand and got up with the help of the blonde boy in black and yellow
"Hey…" Ruby and the other Blonde boy in black and white clothes looked towards a blonde boy that was wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans "I'm Jaune" he said presenting himself to them with a smile, The other Blonde boy in black and yellow simply smiled and wave his hand rapidly at him
"ruby" she said with a smile as she wave her hand slightly at him saying hello"…" she looked at him before saying "Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?" she asked him with a smile
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune told Ruby and the fellow blonde
"Look, I'm sorry Vomit-Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Said ruby
"Oh yeah, what if I called you Crater-face?" Jaune said back to ruby
"Hey that explosion was an accident" ruby pouted
"Well the name's Jaune Arc, Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies love it!" said Jaune
"Do they?" Ruby asked with a grin
"They will! Well, I hope they will…I mean, my mom always says that….never mind" Jaune said and Ruby giggled slightly and they heard the other black and yellow clothed boy laughing at their interaction and Jaune looked at him and asked " and who are you by the way?, you have been with us this hole time and you haven't told us your name…or talked at all for that matter…" Jaune said,
They saw him stop looking at them blinking, before nodding with a smile as he scratches his head too and he takes out small notepad opens it and shows them a page that something written, it said "hi, my name is bumblebee!, sorry for not talking, I'm mute"
They nodded in understanding as they smile at him and bumblebee simply smiled back at Jaune and ruby, ruby stops for a moment and says
"So, I got this thing." She said revealing her scythe making Jauen and Bumblebee take a step back in surprise
"Woah, is that a scythe!?" Jaune asked with a hint of fear and surprise
"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle" she said with a smile
"A what-?" Jaune just asked
"It's also a gun" said ruby as she recharged
"Oh" Jaune simply said, "That's cool!" Jaune smiled at her
"So what've you got?" Ruby asked him
"Oh-uh, I got this sword" Jaune takes his sword out
"Oooooooh!" said ruby as she looks at the sword
"Yeah, I've got a shield too!" it unfolded itself to reveal the shield
"so what do they do?" ruby asked him once again as she touches the shield before it collapse on itself being sent flying in the air and jaune trying to catch it only to be catched by Bumblebee and gave it back to jaune
"Thanks…well…the shield gets smaller…so… when I get tired of carrying it…I can just…put it away" Jaune explained as best as he can
"But…wouldn't it weight the same?" ruby asked
"Yeah, it does" Jaune replied and he turned to look at bumblebee who just looked back at him with a gentle smile and asked "and what do you have?" he asked him
Bumblebee smile as he placed the bag filled of coffee bags on the floor showing his robotic arms, and suddenly from the arms came out two blades, taking Jaune and ruby by surprise bhut tuby looking at his arms with stars in her eyes as she looks at his arms with excitement, but Bee quickly made them go back into his arms and his entire lower right arm started shifting and folding and unfolding, and his arm suddenly transformed into a cannon making the two of them look at his arm canon in shock and amazement as ruby appears to fangirl all over Bumblebee and his weapons
Bee takes a step back, clearly weird out by how she was acting transforming his arm canon back into his arm, she said "sorry….you see, well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, I guess I did go a little overboard looking at Bumblebee's robotic arms and when designing my weapon" she explained showing her weapon once again
"yeah…maybe you di—wait- You made that?" Jaune asked as he looks at Ruby's scythe
"Of course!, all students at Signal forge their own weapons" ruby told jaune before she asked "didn't you make yours?"
"It's a hand-me-down" jaune explained as both Ruby and Bumblebee nodded "My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war" jaune continued and Bumblebee and ruby now understanding how important that sword and shield is
"…sounds more like a family heirloom to me" Ruby said trying to cheer up Jaune "well, I like it!" ruby said with a smile and Bumblebee nodded in agreement "not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days" bumblebee nodding once again at that"
"Yeah…the classics" said Jaune
"so…" she said looking at Bumblebee "why'd you help me out back there, in the courtyard?" she asked bumblebee
They saw Bumblebee shrug as he grabs the bag again from the floor, jaune decided to help him out
"eh, why not?, you needed help and he just decided to help you out, I was actually going to do the same thing and help you out before he did it, but like my mom always says, Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet" jaune said with a smile as they keep walking and bumblebee nodded at what he said
"Hmmm…" she said before looking back at them "hey, where are we going?" she asked them
"Oh, I dunno, I was following you." Said Jaune "… you think there might be a directory?... maybe a food court?...some sort of recognizable landmark?" asked Jaune
Ruby snorted and jaune said defeated "is uh…. Is that a no?"
"hehe, that's a no" she replied after a chuckle
They heard bumblebee sigh as he walks right pass them and he signaled them to follow him and so they did
