Yep, two chapters already. Let's get the first few things going and some character introductions.
The air ship had just landed and the blonde boy ran to the nearest trashcan to empty his mouth of his lunch. What happens to all who hate being high in the air. Four familiar humans and Faunus's make their way off the ship, and were immediately impressed at the sight of a castle like building in front of them.
"Duuuuuuuude! This is even better than the view from Vale." Sonic stated hands on his hips.
"OOOOH! OOOHO! SIS! THAT KID HAS A COLLAPSIBLE STAFF! *GASP* AND SHE'S GOT A FIRE SWORD!" Ruby's voice was heard again as the duo looked at the source seeing her with the blonde girl known as Yang.
"Wow, she must be really young to be attending." Sonic said scratching the back of his head. That was when Tails saw someone familiar.
"Hey, Knuckles!" He yelled catching the red guy's attention.
"Huh? Tails? You got accepted?" Knuckles asked walking over to them.
"Well, yeah. It's a… it's a long story." He said rubbing the back his head.
"Yeah, he deserves it man. By the way, nice to see ya Knux. Hope we get on the same team." Sonic said holding his hand out.
"Yeah, sure. Well, catch'ya later." Knuckles said ruffling Tails' hair and leaving Sonic hanging annoying him as he left.
"Huh, looks like you two still have some things to work out." Tails stated remembering that Sonic was the one-person Knuckles didn't really get along with.
"Yeah, well the least he could do is shake my hand." Sonic said slightly annoyed. "Any who, I'm gonna go up ahead. Ya know, give you some time to make friends? Cya man, good luck." He said as he ran ahead leaving Tails spinning.
"DAAAAHHH! Ah, gud, luk ta you two." Tails said dizzy shaking his head snapping back to reality. "Jeez Sonic, thanks for the he-OOOF!" He said as he accidently bumped into someone.
(Insert I am all of me song here) He looked up, his sapphire eyes connected with bright red eyes. The guy he bumped into had a jet black jacked with fluff at the collar, hedgehog ears showing he was a Faunus too, he looked like Sonic but with black and red (I don't get how people mistake this guy for Sonic he looks nothing like him), with rings at his wrists and ankles.
"Uh, sorry, sorry, I-I didn't mean to…" Tails was trying to apologies.
"Watch where you're going next time." The guy said. His face and voice were intimidating, but he wasn't really all that angry.
"Oh, uh, will do. Will do." Tails stated tugging on his scarf.
"What're you doing here? Aren't you a little young to be here?" The guy asked looking at him confused. "Listen this isn't any ordinary combat school, so keep your head in the game." He stated walking off.
"Uh, thanks for the tip!" The fox boy said hoping that he didn't go so far that he didn't hear. "Okay, awkward first acquaintance. Now what do I do?" He said now confused. He was smart, but he was never at Beacon before so it was hard for him to figure out what to do. He was thinking about using his scroll that he modified to be a watch as well to find Sonic, until a familiar voice came to his ears.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby shouted out making him turn to her direction seeing a girl dressed in white walk past him, then he looked over to Ruby seeing a girl wearing black walk away from her.
She fell to her knees then laid down and Tails just felt bad for her, him and Ruby just got to Beacon and it seemed she was the one having a bad day. He walked to her hoping to help, Ruby's eyes opened when Tails' shadow was casted over her. "Hey, Ruby." He said holding his hand out to her.
"*Sigh* Hey, Tails." She said accepting the hand, letting him help her up.
Then the two heard coughing and looked to where the sound was coming from, the source; Vomit-Boy. "Aw *cough* man… oh hi, I'm Jaune." He said looking at them.
"Miles, but my friends call me Tails." Tails said introducing himself.
"Ruby… uh, aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?" Ruby asked after the introductions.
The scene then changes to the three walking around canvas, Jaune being annoyed, Ruby and Tails being amused. "All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune said just plan annoyed.
"Look, I'm sorry, Vomit-Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby stated Tails mentally chuckled.
"Yeah? What if I called you Crater-Face?" Jaune said just getting more and more annoyed with each second.
"Hey, that explosion was an accident." She stated defending herself.
"Well, the name is Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it." Jaune stated as the trio came to a stop.
"For real?" Tails asked smirking.
"T-they will. Well, I hope they will… I'm mean my mom always says that… never mind, forget I said that." Jaune was saying until he stopped not wanting to feel embarrassed.
Tails and Ruby just awkwardly laughed, not sure what to say the red hooded girl just decided to wing it. "So, I got this thing." She said pulling out her scythe.
"WHOA! Is that a scythe?" Jaune asked nervous and amazed.
"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle." She stated reloading her weapon
"I'm sorry, what?" Jaune asked not understanding what she just said.
"A gun basically." Tails stated. "And I have this." He said as his arm morphed into his weapon. "It's a plasma buster that has built in training wheels for the untrained eye..." He demonstrated this by pressing a button making one of those telescope things on firearms pop up. "… and it uses lightning dust to form plasma bursts. I have to make the dust so, it's not as easy." He stated pulling out a bottle of said dust.
"Wow, you two got the cool ones. I've-uh… got this sword." He said pulling it out. "And a shield too." He said taking his scabbard transforming it into a shield.
"So, what do they do, exactly?" Ruby asked curiously touching the shield as it flung out of Jaune's hand and was just bouncing all over the place now, before he caught it.
"Well, uh… the shield gets smaller. So… when I get tired of carrying it…" Jaune said turning it back into a scabbard.
"It doesn't weigh the same?" Tails asked questioning his knowledge of logic.
"No, it does." Jaune groaned depressed.
"Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I did go a little overboard designing this one after all." Ruby stated holding her weapon up.
"Really? If you ask me, I think you did better than I did." Tails complemented her giving her red cheeks.
"Wait, you two made yours." Jaune asked amazed that they were actually that smart.
"Of course. All students at Signal forge their own weapons." Ruby stated still showing off her scythe.
"Same goes for those over at Knothole in Sega." Tails stated as his cannon morphed back into his arm.
"Mine's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune said lowing his weapon.
"Sounds like a family heirloom to me!... uh… well I like it." Ruby said trying to cheer the blonde boy up.
"Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days." Tails said patting Jaune on the back.
"Yeah. The classics…" Jaune said feeling a little better.
"So, how do you make friends?" Ruby asked not sure what to say.
"Well, it's not that big of a deal. My mom always says, 'Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.'" He stated as they continued walking.
"Hmmm… Hey, guys, where're we going anyways?" Ruby asked unsure where they were.
"Uhhh… Jaune, you have a clue?" Tails asked just as lost.
"I dunno, I was following you." Jaune said as a wave of silence filled the air. "You think there might be a directory? Maybe even a, food court? Some sort of recognizable landmark?" He was asking as the two chuckled in amusement. "Is uh… is that a 'no'?" He asked still getting giggles.
"That's a 'no'." They both said.
After walking around, they finally found the entrance, it was thanks to Tails using his tracker to figure out where Sonic was. Ruby and Jaune were impressed at how smart the kid was… mostly Ruby. They entered the room with a giant sky scrapper looking around for their friends, well Jaune came alone so he didn't have anybody to go to.
"Yo, Tails!" A familiar voice called catching their attention. "Over here man, I saved you a spot." Sonic called over to the fox boy.
"You know him?" Jaune asked as they seem to be familiar with each other.
"Yup, that's my older brother." Tails stated confusing the other two as Sonic was a completely different Faunus compared to him. Ruby wasn't as confused, she did have a sister that looked nothing like her.
"Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot." Yang yelled catching their attention.
"Oh, hey, I gotta go! I'll see you guys after the ceremony!" Ruby stated.
"Sorry, guys! Cya later!" Tails said as they both ran to their siblings.
"Hey, wait! Naw, great… Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to? Or a friendly boy for that example?" Jaune groaned, not knowing that he got caught in a certain red head girl's interest.
"So, how's the first day going, little dude?" Sonic asked after seeing the people he was just with.
"You mean since you ditched me and made me have an awkward conversation?" Tails said out of annoyance.
"Yikes, talking to yourself already?" Sonic assumed.
"N-no, seriously. I was dizzy and my head was spinning…" Tails was saying until Sonic jumped in.
"Sarcasm?" He assumed again.
"I wish! I bumped into this guy, who looked like you except more fearsome, he looked like he was mad, but he was actually kind of nice, I still don't know about him though…" Tails was saying until said person cut in.
"Talking about me?" He asked scaring Tails making him yelp and making him jump into Sonic's arms.
"Dude!" Tails said annoyed.
"Shadow? I didn't know you were at Beacon." Sonic said confusing his little friend.
"Sonic..." Shadow greeted him as he put Tails down.
"Uh, you know him?" The fox boy asked.
"Yeah, remember? Our cousin from Spark (Space and Ark put together) in Sega. The one I had yet to introduce you to?" Sonic asked. Then Tails remembered the blue hog telling him about their cousin.
"Oh… I see the resemblance." He said looking at Shadow then back to him.
"You!" A voice yelled catching their attention.
"AW CRAP, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!" Ruby yelled jumping into her sister's arms. The one who yelled at her was the same girl in white that Tails saw earlier.
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" She scolded her.
"Holy crap, you really exploded." Yang said.
"It was an accident. It was an accident!" Ruby said standing back up, only to have the girl shove a paper into her face saying Dust for dummies. "Uh, what's this?" She asked confused.
"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained…" The girl began to trail off as Sonic got tired and decided to change the subject.
"Sheesh, what's her problem?" He asked getting a little annoyed since all he heard was blah over and over.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world. That's her, especially from the same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." Shadow stated without taking his eyes off them.
"Huh? So, how have you been, Shadz? How's Maria doing?" Sonic asked changing the subject getting his eyes back to him.
"Fine, for the most part. We managed create a cure for her but, she's going to be a bit drowsy for the next few days." Shadow explained hiding a smile.
"That's great news, man! Good to hear!" Sonic said patting him so hard on the back he stumbled a little. "FYI, Maria is his sister figure. Hope to get on the same team man." He said changing the subject twice, putting his fist in the air.
"Well, that is if it's by chance or choice." Shadow said leaving him hanging, not returning a fist bump.
"Yeah, good to see the normal you." Sonic bitterly said. In reality, he was glad to see the normal Shadow.
"Yeah, and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys, like O'l Foxy or tall, blonde, and scraggily over there!" Weiss faked, not seeing Sonic or Shadow but catching Jaune's, Tails' and their attention.
"Oh, wow really?" Ruby asked not knowing she didn't mean it.
"No." She said as her fake smile changed to a frown.
"Ahem… I'll, keep this brief." Ozpin spoke into a microphone catching everyone's attention. "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. 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 all 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 take the first step." He finished walking away from the mic.
"You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready… you are dismissed." Glynda spoke into the mic.
"Huh, that didn't really sound like the Ozpin I met." Tails stated as they left to where Goodwitch told them to be.
It was a little strange how the night went, most of the men had ether undershirts (Or wife beaters, or whatever they're called) they could sleep in for the night, or just shirtless in general. I guess it's not strange, but I had to point that out. Sonic was outside the bathroom wearing pajama pants with an undershirt, waiting for Tails. The boy walked out, wearing PJ pants and a button down long sleeve shirt.
"Finally." Sonic said getting tired of waiting. "So, made any other friends?" He asked curiously as they started walking.
"Well, yeah. Those two I walked in with, they're Ruby and Jaune, pretty nice people." Tails stated as he saw Jaune walk by, wearing footie PJs.
"So, you and Ruby, huh?" Sonic said grinning at him.
"Uh, what's that supposed to mean?" Tails asked not liking whatever idea was in Sonic's head.
"Come on, maybe you'll get a shot if you get her on our team." Sonic said winking at him making the fox boy's face turn red.
"DEH, shut up!" He said shoving him getting a chuckle out of him. While they were walking by, Tails spotted Ruby and Yang in their sleepwear, Ruby having an eye mask. 'Maybe it won't be bad to have her on the team.' He thought as he laid on his sleeping bag, but Sonic wasn't with him. He looked around and saw him heading towards the same girl with black clothing and bow holding a book.
"Hey…" Sonic said catching her attention. "When you're done with that, maybe you can read this. I heard it's a good book." He said placing a book he had next to her.
"Uh, thanks." She said not sounding it, but Sonic knew she was grateful.
"Cool… by the way, the names Sonic. Nice bow, goes with your clothes." Sonic said complementing her and introducing himself.
"Blake… and, thanks again." She stated.
"Cool, see you during initiation." Sonic said his smirk not leaving his face.
"K, see you too." Blake replied making a grin form on the hedgehog's face as he left.
Back with Ruby, she was talking with her sister before she was going to bed. "It's like a BIG slumber party!" Yang said plopping down onto her sleeping bag.
"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though." Ruby said writing something down.
"I know I do." Yang said purring as she saw most men without shirts showing off muscles. But Knuckles caught her attention as he had a tight six-pack and his muscles in his arms would be shown whether he flexed or not. (FYI this is not based off Boom Knuckles) 'Oh, I know who I'll be keeping my eye on for this year.' She thought to herself as she imagined what it would be like for them to be on the same team. "What's that?" She asked seeing what her sister was writing.
"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." Ruby said making eye contact with the older sibling.
"Aw, that's so, cuuuuuute…" Yang laughed as she had pillow thrown at her face.
"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school. It's weird not knowing anyone here." Ruby said annoyed.
"What about Jaune and Tails? They're nice… there you go, plus two friends! That's a hundred percent increase." Yang stated.
"Pretty sure Weiss counts as a 'negative friend'. Straight back to zero." Ruby said not cheering up even the slightest.
"There's no such thing as a 'negative friend'. You just made, one friend, one enemy and one boyfriend." Yang joked at the last part getting another pillow thrown at her.
"Not funny!" Ruby quietly yelled her face completely red at the mention of her having a boyfriend.
"I was kidding." Yang said playfully as Ruby just laid back. "Ruby, it's only been one day. Trust me you've got friends all around you… you just haven't met them yet." Yang said still trying to cheer her sister up. "You sure you didn't meet anyone else?" She asked her.
"Well, Tails has an older brother here. I haven't met him but, oh, I think that's him over there." Ruby said pointing towards the fox boy and a hedgehog Faunus.
"Ya see, that's how ya talk to the ladies!" Sonic said as a shine came from his teeth.
"Sonic, I'm not looking for a girlfriend." Tails said getting embarrassed by his older brother.
"Aw, come on. At some point, you're gonna meet someone in your life you'll fall for, I'm just helping out." Sonic said still smirking as he plopped down on his sleeping bag.
"Huh, not bad." Yang said as she might have another toy if she didn't get with the knucklehead. "Anyone else?"
Ruby was about to answer until she heard the sound of a candle getting relit. Looking over, she saw Blake sitting with a book in her hand, and another next to her. "Well, she saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything." She stated.
"Well, now's your chance." Yang said as she grabbed her arm and pulled her over.
"W-wait… WHAT'RE YOU DOING?!" Ruby quietly yelled.
Meanwhile, Shadow was sending a voice mall to his family on his scroll. "Hey… Grandfather Gerald… It's me, Shadow. It's been a day since I've been at Beacon and, I haven't really gotten to know anybody here. Sonic is here too, but I already knew him. Maria if you're there as well, how're you feeling? If you're feeling well give me a call… *Sigh*… I miss you guys… Don't worry, I will do my best here at Beacon. I won't let you down." He said ending the message.
"What in the world is going on over here!?" A voice yelled catching his attention looking over at Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang. "Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep!?" The white girl scoffed as an argument began to take place.
"OH, NOT YOU AGAIN!" Her and yang yelled at the same time.
Shadow just groaned and tried to ignore the bickering going on, but it was so annoying he couldn't take it anymore. "Yeah, what's your problem with my sister!? She's only trying to be nice!" Yang scolded Weiss.
"She's a hazard to my health!" Weiss yelled. Blake was about to blow out her candles, but the moment ice queen finished her sentence a gunshot was heard and they looked over to see a pissed off Shadow standing holding a pistol in the air which had smoke coming out of the hole.
"Will you just SHUT UP, and let! Us! SLEEP!" He yelled looking at them, eye twitching. The girls looked at him with freaked out faces. After a few seconds, the violent edge lord dropped his firearm, then laid down on his sleeping bag. A few seconds afterwards, Blake then blew out her candles.
To be continued…
