Chapter 6: The Shining Beacon, Part 2
Ruby and Jaune can be seen following Bumblebee into the Main hall after they accidentally got lost.
"Ruby!" Yang called her sister, both her and Jaune turned to look at yang "over here! I saved you a spot!" yang was waving her hand at Ruby
"Oh! Hey! I gotta go!, I'll see you after the ceremony" she told jaune as she as she runs away to her sister, Jaune saw her leaving not noticing when Bumblebee left to give Ozpin his coffee before the speech
"Hey, wait!" Jaune said and then sigh when she ran off "Great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?" he asked himself as he walked away "wait…where is Bee?"
As he walks way a red-haired girl with green eyes looks at him as he walks away
"How's your first day going, little sister?" Yang asked Ruby as she turns to look at her with a smile, ruby was looking mad and then she turned to yang
"You mean since you ditched me and I exploded!?" Ruby told her angrily with her arms crossed
"Yikes… Meltdown already?" asked Yang
"No, I literally exploded a hole in the front of the school…and there was a fire…and I think some ice?" ruby said
Yang from behind Ruby could see the fellow blonde in black and yellow, she ignored him before saying "…Are you being sarcastic?" she asked Ruby
*scoff*"ugh, I wish!, I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage!, And the she yelled at me! And then I sneezed, And then I exploded!, and then she yelled again!" unaware Weiss was looking at her from behind angrily "And I felt really, really bad! And I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!"
"YOU!" Weiss screamed at ruby
"Oh God, it's happening again!" Ruby scream in panic as she jump on Yang's arms, Bumblebee was currently trying to reach Ruby his crystal wings being down against his back, they sometimes stayed there but sometimes they just go up, so he was trying his best for that not to happen
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" Weiss told angrily at Ruby
"Oh my god, you really exploded." She told ruby amazed and confused
"it was an accident!" said ruby worried then yang places Ruby back on the floor "it was an accident!", Weiss showed her a Pamphlet that read *Dust for dummies* "what's this?" Ruby asked Weiss as Bumblebee is getting closer
"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damage sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company Produ-"suddenly she was hit on the back by something and she fell on the floor "ow!" yelled Weiss and she turned to look at who did it and she saw Bumblebee with his hands on his mouth and he looks surprised and worried
Ruby saw how Bumblebee had managed to reach her and her sister as Weiss was talking when suddenly his crystal looking wings raised behind him as he was walking pass Weiss and the wings hit Weiss by accident, both Yang and Ruby where surprised by that, Yang noticed the scar on bumblebees neck
Weiss stud up on her own as Bee tried to help her up, she turned to Bumblebee angrily and yelled "What was that for!? Who do you think you are Faunus!? Do you even know who I am!?" she yelled making bumblebee take a step back, he frowned and looked at the ground sadden
This making Yang mad because Bee was both a Faunus and a mute, and this Rich girl was screaming at a mute who hit her by accident, and she turned towards ruby and said "Read this and don't ever speak to me again!" she gave ruby the pamphlet and then she pointed at Bee "that goes for you too, don't speak to me ever again" and with that she walked way
Yang got closed to Bee saying "is okay, what you did was just an accident, you and my sister just started with the wrong foot today, anyways, I'm Yang! Ruby's older sister" he hugged ruby with her arm and asked "and you are?" she asked and in that moment her eye twitched as she wanted to slap herself when she made that question to a mute
Ruby suddenly jumped in and said "This is Bumblebee! I meet him after everything that happened with Weiss, he was very nice and he even helped me and Jaune get here!" ruby said with a smile as bumblebee smiled and nodded
"Well, it's good to meet you Bee!, and thanks for helping my sister" she stretched her arm to shake Bee's hand which he took and they both shook hands
"Ahem…" everyone turned to who started talking, and it was Ozpin "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 I 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." Ozpin finished his speech as he started walking away
Glynda stepped up and said "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed!" she said before walking away
"He seemed kind of off…" said yang
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Commented ruby agreeing with her sister
Bumblebee nodded, he signaled Yang and Ruby to follow him to the ballroom
It was now night, the students are preparing to sleep and Ruby is writing something when suddenly Yang fell besides ruby on her sleeping bag
"It's like a big slumber party!" said yang to ruby with a smile
"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though" said ruby as she wonders what her dad would think of Bumblebee if he meet him
"I know I do." Yang said as she makes a purr as she looks at the other guys showing off their muscular bodies for the girls to look at
Jaune is seen humming as he is wearing what appeared to be a blue onesie with a bunny on his chest and he looks at yang and smiles
"ew…." Said yang and she sees how Bee just walks in front with just a black pajama t-shirt and yellow pants, bee is walking towards ruby and yang, yang smiles at him before she looks at ruby and asked "what's that?"
"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." she sees Bumblebee walk up to them and sitting beside them on his sleeping bag with a smile
"Aww, that's so cuuuute!, don't you agree Bee?" said Yang as Bee smile and nodded, when suddenly Ruby threw a pillow at Yang's face
"shut up!, I didn't get to take my friends with me to school, it's weird not knowing anyone here. " said Ruby with a frown
"What about Jaune? His…..nice….There you go! Plus one friend! That's a 100 Percent increase!" Yang told ruby trying to cheer her up
"I'm pretty sure Weiss counts as a 'Negative friend. Back to zero'" said Ruby sadden
"That's not true!, you still have Bee!, right bee?" she asked bee who gave a very happy nod " see?, back to that 100 percent increase!, besides, there's no such thing as a negative friends!, you just made two friends and one enemy!" and once again Yang was hit by a dog pillow, this time by Bumblebee
Bumblebee started writing on his small notepad and once finished he showed it to ruby and yang and it read "look, it's only been one day. Trust me, you've got friends all around you, and you just haven't met them yet." Ruby smiled at Bee after she finished reading, they heard someone light a match Ruby sat up as Bee and yang turned to see the source of the light.
Ruby and Bumblebee could see the girl in black with the black bow and black clothes from before, when Ruby meet Weiss and Bumblebee, she was reading and had a candle besides her
"That girl…" Ruby said looking at the girl, Yang looked towards her sister
"You know her?" she asked Ruby, but she saw Bee doing a so-so movement with his hands before Ruby replied
"Not really…." Ruby replied, "She saw what happened this morning with Bee at her side, but left before I could say anything." She explained
"Well, now's your chance!" yang told her before standing up and pulling Ruby and Bee, but seeing how bumblebee didn't even moved she let go of him before he stud up on his own and followed behind her, he was curious to see what the two sisters would do
"Hey, wait! What are you doing?!" she asked her sister as she is being taken towards the girl in black, she turned to look at Bee after Yang gave up on dragging him with her, but she just watched in horror as Bee just follows them with a smile on his face
The girl in black is able to hear Ruby's struggles and Bee's slightly heavy footsteps, she lowers her book to see a blonde girl dragging the girl she helped from Weiss Schnee and the Black and Yellow Faunus, or who she thought was a Faunus due to the crystal wings on his back
"Helloooo!" the blonde girl said like she was singing, as she waves her hand, "I believe the three may know each other!" she said with a smile as she sees ruby crossing her arms looking away from her sister, as Faunus look at her with his glowing bright blue eyes and he waved his hand saying hello,
"Aren't you the girl that exploded?" the girl in black asked as she looks at Ruby
"Uhh, yeah! My name's Ruby." She said as she stretched her hand towards the girl in black to shake hands, but she simply looked back towards her book, eyeing Bee a few times, "but, you can just call me… crater…. Actually, you can just call me Ruby" said ruby trying to talk to her
"Okay" the girl in black said not looking away from her book, she raised her eyebrows slightly when she hear Bumblebee's name
Yang looks at her sister and whispers "What are you doing?"
"I don't know, help me!" Ruby whispered back at her sister and Bee Just shrugged
"So… what's your name?" Yang asked the girl in black, as both her and her sister smiled at her, not noticing Bee writing something on his notepad
"Blake…" she said looking at the sisters and the blonde Faunus
"Well, Blake I'm Yang! Ruby's older sister!" she said as she pointed at herself "And this big guy is Bumblebee!" she said with a smile as she points at Bee
Suddenly before Yang could say anything Bee walked up to Blake and showed her what he wrote on his notepad and it read "I like your Bow, it looks really cute on you"
"You like my bow?" she saw Bumblebee nodding "thanks" she said with a smile
"Yeah, it goes great with your…. Pajamas!" she said with a smile and Bee could seen face palming himself behind Yang and Ruby after she said that
Blake simply said "Right…"
"Nice night, don't you think?" Yang asked Blake with a smile
"Yes, it's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book…" she said as she looks at them, Ruby and Yang smiling as Bee didn't even know what to do or say "that I will continue to read…" she sees Bee looking at her with a shrug as the Sisters keep smiling not understanding what she was trying to say, "as soon as you leave." Blake finally finished annoyed
"Yeah, this girl's a lost cause." Yang said after Blake finished understanding she wanted them to leave.
"What's it about?" Ruby asked Blake
"Huh?" Blake asked confused as she looks up at Ruby
"Your book. Does it have a name?" Ruby asked again
"Well… It's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body." Blake responded
Bee starts thinking about it, he has been reading a lot for the past week since he woke up, so hearing that book sounds familiar to him, but he isn't sure if he actually that book or was told by Ozpin or Glynda
"Oh, yeah… That's real lovely…" Yang said looking away from Blake
"I love books. Yang used to read me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters… they're one of the reasons I want to be a huntress." Ruby said with a smile but a calm voice
"Why is that?" Blake asked with a smile on her face, "Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" she asked once again
"I'm hoping we all will. As a girl I wanted to be just like those Heroes in the books. Someone who fought for what was right, and who protected people who couldn't protect themselves." Ruby said smiling
"That's very ambitious for a child." Blake said with a smile, but she then frowned "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale"
Ruby just smiled at her "well, that's why we're here… to make it better" Bumblebee smiled at her and place his hand on her shoulder as he gave a nod in approval on what she said, he having a similar reason after losing his memories
"Ohhh, I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Yang said as she goes up to ruby and started giving her a bear hug and bringing her on the air, Bee taking a step away to avoid that bone crushing hug
"Cut it out!" Ruby said before she actually punches yang and the two getting in a sister fight , before they grabbed Bee and he was pulled into the fight as he can be seen actively trying to scape
Blake chuckled lightly, "Well, Ruby, Yang, Bumblebee… it's a pleasure to-"
"What in the world is going on over here!?" Weiss asked as Ruby can be seen holding Yang's foot on the air as she struggles to stand on one foot and Bee can be seen crawling away before standing up looking like a mess, "Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep!?" she said angrily, she turned to see Ruby and Bumblebee
"Oh, not you again!" Both Weiss and Yang yelled in anger at the same time, Yang being angry at Weiss, and Weiss being angry at Bee and Ruby
Ruby puts her finger over her mouth to shush them "Shh! Guys, she's right!, people are trying to sleep!" Ruby said as Bee nodded quickly in panic and worry
"Oh, now you two are on my side." Weiss asked annoyed
Blake looks at them and she sighs and closes her book as she puts it aside
"I was always on your side!" Ruby replied and Bee nodded
"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister and Bee!? They are only trying to be nice!" Yang said defending Ruby and Bee, as Blake grabs the candle
"They are a hazard to my health!" Weis yelled
Blake blows out the candle
