Chapter: 3

Arrival

I own nothing except my OC

After a while of walking through the forest (getting the occasional suspicious glance from Weiss and Blake) we finally reach a small clearing. In the middle of the clearing I see perhaps one of the strangest things I've ever seen and that's saying a lot.

It's some kind of black and grey metallic machine with two pincer like appendages on its side a tail the ends with a triangular point and some kind of cone like muzzle with a window on the upper part and on the sides.

"What in the God's name is that?" I say eyeballing the mysterious machine. " That's are Bullhead and our ticket out of this dump" says Yang. "Bullhead?" I question not seeing at all how the strange machine could possibly look like a bulls head.

"I didn't come up with the name though I'm pretty sure who ever did just thought it sounded cool" replies Yang. "Enough chatting lets just get on the Bullhead and get this man back to Beacon and to headmaster Ozpin" says Weiss in an annoyed tone.

As she says that the machines underbelly opens up opening a path inside. "Are you sure this thing is safe?" I ask, during my time in Yharnam I learned the hard way if you see a contraption you've never seen before it can either kill you or lead to something that can kill you.

"Awwww what's the matter the scary masked hunter scared of heights" says Yang in an irritating teasing voice. "I don't fear anything anymore" I say in a rather cold and menacing voice.

Deep down I know that's a lie I fear one thing above all else, to lose myself, to become a mad Hunter that's only purpose is to kill anything that moves just so I can be drenched in their blood, or to end up like Gascoigne and Henryk a man lost in grief and pain and seeing the only way out is to forsake my humanity and memories just so I don't feel the pain anymore, I came close to that fate many times during the Hunt. I take a look at the girls and see they all have different reactions to my statement. Ruby and Yang both have a confused look on their face probably trying to figure out if I meant what I said or was just trying to sound tough. Blake gives me a calculative look no doubt trying to decipher any possible hidden meaning to my words, and Weiss gives me yet another look of skepticism. "Damn it why did I you say that you idiot?" I inwardly scold myself realizing I've made my situation worse. "I apologize for my outburst lets put this behind us and travel to Beacon" I said in a calm voice.

Returning to her usually scowl Weiss says "Very well let's get on the Bullhead there's no point in staying in this forest any longer." "I agree we barely made it out okay last time" says Ruby with a small hint of worry in her voice. With Blake and Yang agreeing we all walk into the Bullhead.

I sit straight up on my sit so my great sword doesn't discomfort me anymore than it usually does and I plant my Threaded Cane gently on the metallic floor with a faint clank. "All passengers please buckle up and we will begin our flight back to Beacon." Says a mysterious voice, "Who the hell was that?!" I yell standing up. "Relax you dolt that's just the pilot" says Weiss in her increasingly annoying tone. "What the hell is a pilot?" I ask her.

She raises an eyebrow at me and says "the one piloting the Bullhead" she says in a tone that makes you think she was talking to a five year old child. "Heheeh" says Ruby giggling at the tone Weiss talked to me. Realizing that this was taking me no where I sit back down and see some kind of belt with a metal end and some kind of buckle on my sides, figuring that they go together I connect them, I look at the girls and see they already had their buckles on.

"Alright now that all the passengers are seated properly we can now take off" says the pilot. " Take off what does that mean, and now that I think about it how does this machine even move it has no wheels or horses to move it and it's not like it can fly." I think to myself.

All of a sudden I hear a strange noise, "what was that?" I ask, Weiss pinches her noises and says, "That's just the engine, do I have to tell you everything" she says in an irritated tone. All of the sudden I feel a strange sensation as if gravity was trying to force me against the ground. I look outside my window and much to my confusion and horror the machine is somehow floating into the air.

" How in the name of everything does this thing fly, is this what Yang meant when she said I'm, afraid of heights and how can they be so calm about this, is this machine common from where there from? Gehrman where the hell did you send me you bastard!" I scream inside my head.

No stay calm, stay calm if this machine is common from where there from I need to act like it's normal for me to or else I'll prove how much of an outsider I really am.

Still looking out the window I see where several dozen feet into the air and moving south towards are destination. We ride in silence for a while the girls looking at me to see if I'm up to anything dangerous while I continue to look out the window still trying to wrap my head around this phenomenon, finally Ruby breaks the silence,

"So ehh you have some cool weapons." Ruby says in a shy tone. I look at Ruby with a confused look though they can't see it, of all the things I thought they would question me about my weapons were the last thing I'd expect.

"Want to know what my weapons weaknesses are so if I suddenly attack you, you can defeat me?" I ask her in a calm tone. Ruby puts on a shocked face and shakes her head back and forth, "NOOO n-nothing like that I'm just I bit of a weapon nerd and curious that's all." she says with a small blush.

Normally I say she was lying but I could already tell Ruby was extremely innocent if anyone was to question me about my equipment just out of curiosity it was her. I hold my Threaded Cane in front of my face and turn it horizontal,

"This is the Threaded Cane as you can already tell it is a cane with the base of a straight sword, but what you cant tell is there is a small button on the handle and if I were to push it the blade would turn into a whip." I say. "That's so cool what about the sword on your back?" ask Ruby. Putting my cane back into its original position I point to my great sword,

"The great sword on my back is called the Holy Moonlight Sword and lets just say it's a very special sword." I say mysteriously. "Ohhh what does it do tell me tell me tell me" Ruby chants excitedly. "That's adorable" I think to myself. "Come on Ruby let him be, you can nerd out about his weapons latter" says Yang. "Alright Yang" says Ruby while pouting.

"Enough about the weapons lets ask important questions like where are you from Drake?" says Weiss. I sigh and say " I'm from a small village named Sanguinem it's a village so small you could never find it on a map I was raised there till I was eighteen then some complications happened and I left and began training to be a Hunter by hunting Beasts directly then you guys found me." I finish. "What complication?" asked the white haired girl. "Ones I rather not discuss with people I just meet" I replied. "Very well then" replied the white haired girl. "Any other questions?" I ask.

"I have one, did you come to the Emerald Forest because of the high population of Grim or were you ordered to train there?" ask the black themed girl.

"I came there on my own choice I have a master but after he taught me the basics he decided it be best if I continued the rest of my training on my own. "Which is more or less true Gehrman taught me very little the rest I learned on my own usually through trial and extremely painful death" I thought to myself.

"That's a strange training method who was your master?" asked Blake. "A old man named Gehrman." I said nonchalantly. "That kind of reminds me of my uncle Qrow people call him a dusty old crow." Said the red hooded girl with a small giggle.

"Passengers we will be arriving at Beacon soon please prepare for departure" said the pilot whatever that title means. "Well since were almost there what's the plan when we arrive?" I ask the four-girl team.

"We're going straight to professor Ozpin office after all bringing you to him was are mission." Replied Ruby. "Alright what happens when I meet him?" I asked Ruby. "Umm he'll probably ask you what you were doing in the forest then let you go and you'll probably be scolded by Glynda to." Replied Ruby. "Who's Glynda?" I asked. " A teacher at Beacon and professor Ozpins right hand man I mean women" Said the red hooded girl.

"Were landing now" said the pilot. As I fell a strange feeling in my gut as we descend, we land on the ground with a loud THUMP. We all remove the strange belt from my waist. The hatch opens and we all head outside. I didn't know what to expect when I first saw Beacon the girls didn't mention how big or powerful the school was, considering they were all armed with extremely dangerous weapons I came to the assumption it was a school were people learned how to hunt the beasts. When I arrived at the conclusion I believed the school would be something like a large Hunters Workshop or maybe even the school of Mensis if it were powerful,

I certainly didn't expect a giant castle that would put Cainhurst Castle to shame. The castle I'm looking at is roughly ten times bigger, has a much simpler architecture, made of grey stones, has several towers and domes but the most unique thing about the castle is in the tallest tower there were several large green orbs radiating light, I shivered a little looking at it the last time I encountered a light source like that in a castle it tried to kill me.

"Well what do you think, pretty sweet isn't it?" ask the blonde of the group. "It's beautiful, but where is your headmaster?" I asked I wanted this meeting to be over a soon as possible. "He's in that tall tower over there" said Ruby pointing to the tower with the green orbs.

"Well lets get this over with" I said as I began to walk towards the tower. " Not so fast." Said Weiss grabbing my hand to stop me from moving. "Your are responsibility so here are the rules, one your not going to talk or interact with anyone else until we get to professor Ozpin, second if you try anything funny will have Yang restrain you right yang?" "No problem ice queen" said Yang cracking her knuckles and giving me a mischievous grin.

I wasn't intimidated though compared to the massive beast that had fist larger than a full-grown man and could shatter stone with ease one women wasn't that scary. "And third you will walk were we can see you at all times do I make myself clear?" asked the now progressively more annoying white haired girl. Giving another mock bow I say, "Of course my lady would like some wine with that?"

" Why you.." said the angered heiress giving an infurated look. Seeing that look on her face must have been rare because the second she did Yang and Ruby burst laughing. "Stop laughing this is serious" stammered the now total pissed off Weiss.

"She's right guys we can't really be joking around we have to take Drake to professor Ozpin as soon as possible" said Blake. "Thank you Blake now dolt follow me." Said Weiss pointing a finger at me and began to walk toward the tower. I remained silent and began following her with the other girls behind me. "Lets see what kind of man you are Ozpin" I think to myself as we make way towards the tower.

Welp Drake was arrived at Beacon what will Ozpin do to the Hunter? Will there encounter turn bloody? And how will Drake react to finding out that he's stuck in another strange dimension? If you want to find out the answers please continue reading. Comment and review if you feel like it and thanks for reading and have a nice day.
