Chapter 4: Welcome to Beacon
'One Day Later'
'Time: 11:30am'
I wake up to the sound of my phones alarm ringing in my ears, i look at the screen to see what time it was, it read '11:30am' and my eyes widen
Me: oh fuck! im late for the airship!
Taiyang: i remember all the times i was late for class
Glynda: yes, Mr Xiao-Long, we both remember...
Taiyang: all the detentions...
I got up from my bed and quickly started putting my new clothes on
Ruby: i wonder what he's gonna wear
5 minutes later, i come out of my bedroom fully-dressed, i wore a long, Shitagi shirt which was split through the middle with one side being black, the other being midnight blue and the back of it had a white tigers head on it, bandages were wrapped around my forearms and into the palm of my hands, a pair of white Hakama pants with a rope tied around the waist (to which the bottom of my shirt was below the rope), and a pair of light straw grieves topped off with a hood and scarf that were the same shade of blue as my shirt, to which my cat ears fit snugly under, then i fitted the sheathes for my katanas on my back and placed the dagger on the belt, now i was ready for Beacon..
Yang: he definitely cleans up nicely
Nora: he looks so badass!
Ren: i respect that he went with a more traditional look
Meanwhile, Blake was blushing slightly and unfortunately, her parents noticed this
Kali: he looks like one of the protagonists from your books, Blake
Blake: MOM!
Ghira: i honestly would prefer him to be your boyfriend rather then Adam..
Me: i gotta move!
I rush out of the apartment, through the empty lobby and outside of the building, i sprinted in the direction of the landing bays as fast as i could, i kept this going for another 15 minutes until i saw a huge crowd of people in front of the very large airship, thank fuck i made it, anyways, i took a moment to catch my breath and i made my way onto the ship and i took a seat, to kill some time i started playing games on my phone while the airship was taking off, until i heard a familiar voice, i turned my head to see Ruby talking to a rather 'large-chested" girl
Yang: so Ether likes whats sees huh?~
Weiss: maybe its because your breasts are about the same size as your head..
Yang: ouch, ice cold Weiss!
Now, this girl absolutely dwarfed Ruby in terms of height, she had golden blonde hair that reached down to the back of her legs, her eyes were a lilac color, she wore a brown leather jacket that was partially zipped up with a yellow shirt with a black burning heart symbol on it (extra style points for that) that showed off her midriff, a pair of tight black shorts with a brown belt, a pair of brown leather boots and purple bandana tied around her knee
So i put my phone in my pockets and i decided to introduce myself, i walked over to them until i was next to Ruby
Me: hello again, Red
She snaps her head and she faces me
Ruby: oh hi! it's nice to see you again!
Me: aye' you too
I notice the other girl looking me up and down, as if shes deeming me worthy of being around her sister
Other Girl: so Ruby, mind introducing me Mr Adorable over here?
My Thoughts: IM NOT ADORABLE DAMN IT!
Ruby: oh right! Yang, this is the guy who stopped the dust robbery with me!
Yang: so you're the one that my little sister wouldn't shut up about..?
Me: it would seem so, yeah..
She sticks out her hand for a handshake
Yang: im Yang, Rubys older half-sister
I shake her hand with a strong grip that matched hers
Me: the names Ether..
Just then, the hologram of a news programme could be heard as we all turn towards it, it was showing a mugshot of Roman Torchwick
News Reporter: The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department, Back to you, Lisa
The mugshot changed to Lisa and a photo of Faunus protesters with signs that said "WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!" which is followed by a red image of a growling wolfs head with three scratch marks through it
Lisa: Thank you, Cyril, In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of theWhite Fang disrupted the ceremony, The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-
The broadcast was cut off, now showing a hologram of the woman from last night
Blonde Woman: hello and welcome to Beacon
Yang: whos that?
Blonde Woman: my name is Glynda Goodwitch
Yang: oh..
Goodwitch: You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world
Her hologram disappears as everyone on-board goes to look out of the windows, to which we do aswell
Ruby: oh wow! look, you can see Signal from up here! i guess home isnt too far after all..
Yang pulls her into a one-armed hug
Yang: Beacons our home now..
We hear the sounds of someone groaning and rushing to the bathroom
Jaune: i wish i could forget this bit
Yang: well, i guess the view isnt for everyone
Ruby: it was a nice moment while it lasted
Me: yeah it kinda was..
The ship had now landed as we headed towards the open door, we stepped out and found ourselves in the courtyard with many people walking past us with their weapons on them
Yang: the view from Vale's got nothing on this
Ruby i were pretty much gushing over the weapons we saw
Ruby: that kids got a collapsible staff!
Me: that guys got a greatsword, that also a rocket launcher!
Ruby: oh shes got fire sword!
Me: what? where!?
Yang: easy there little ones, they're just weapons
Ruby: 'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!
Me: you're bloody right they are!
Yang: Well, why can't you both swoon over your own weapons? Aren't you guys happy with them?
Ruby whips out her big ass scythe and i do the same with my katanas
Ruby: Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones, It's like meeting new people, but better...
Me: i love Sunset and Blackout, id rather have nothing else!
Yang playfully pulls down her hood over her face
Yang: come on you two! why don't you both go make friends of your own?
Me: hey, im fine by myself, thank you!
Ruby: well, why would i need friends when i have you guys?
Yang: well...
A group of people show up behind her and she quickly high tails it away
Yang: Actually, my friends are here, Gotta go catch up, 'Kay, see ya, bye!
Taiyang: that isn't a good reason for leaving your sister Yang..
Yang: im sorry Dad...
Qrow: yeah, not cool Firecracker..
Ruby started getting a little dizzy and was spinning around
Ruby: Wait, where are you going?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?
She ends up falling backwards sending cart of luggage flying around the place and now she has a pissed off girl dress in all white standing over her
White: what are you doing!?
Ruby: uh, sorry!
White: Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?
My Thoughts: for fucks sake, its one of those types of people...
Weiss: i cant believe that i sounded like that..
Winter: im disappointed in you sister
Weiss: i know you are..
Ruby was holding one of her cases
Ruby: Uuhhh...
White: give me that!
She snatches the case from Ruby
White: This is Dust- mined and purified from the Schnee quarry!
Ruby: uuhhhh...
White: what are you, brain-dead?
She said holding vial of red dust and closing the case
Ruby: i..i know..
Ruby started coughing and sniffling now
White: Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!
Ruby couldn't handle the amount dust entering her nose and she sneezed causing an element-filled explosion to send the vial flying a few feet away
White: Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!
Ruby: im really, really sorry!
White: Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?
Ruby: well i..i-
White: 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!
Now i was pissed off with her attitude and hostility so i storm over to them, getting in the space between them and facing White
Me: hey, she already said sorry! so back the fuck off from her, Princess, before i turn that white outfit of yours into a deep shade of red!
???: its heiress, actually...
All three of us turn our heads in the direction of the voice and i shit you not, what i saw was simply breathtaking... there was a girl with long and wavy black hair and a matching bow on top of her head, she had stunning amber eyes, she wore a black buttoned vest with coattails, underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, cropped undershirt and white shorts, she also wore black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles, black ribbons were tied around her forearms and she had black scarf around her and she held the vial of dust from earlier and a book, overall...she was beautiful..
Kali: looks like you have an admirer, Blake~
Blake just sat there in silence with a pink tint on the cheeks
Yang: i bet she likes him too~
Blake: i do not!
Yang: whatever you say Blake, but he has you hooked in~
I snap out of my thoughts as she begins to speak again
Black: Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world..
Weiss: finally! some recognition!
Black: The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners..
Weiss: Wha- How dare- The nerve of-
Ruby began chuckling and i was laughing, hard
Me: HAHA! HAHAAAAA! BOOSH! HAHA HA! GET FUCKIN' SHUT DOWN BITCH!
She then snatched the vial from the girl in black and stormed off, meanwhile im still laughing ass off
Ruby: i promise i'll make this up to you! I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day... So, what's...
The girl in black walked away before Ruby could speak with her and she collapses onto the floor
Ruby: welcome to Beacon...
We noticed the guy who was throwing up from before reach his hand out to Ruby
Vomit Boy: hey...im Jaune
She takes his hand and stands up
Ruby: Ruby..
Me: and im Ether..
Ruby: aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?
So Ruby, Jaune and i wandered around for a bit whilst having a conversation, in which i was mostly ignoring as i was too busy thinking about the girl in black from earlier
Jaune: all im saying is that motion sickness is a much bigger problem then most people let on!
Ruby: im sorry, Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind
Jaune: oh yeah? and what if i called you Crater Face?
Me: even though she didnt really cause the explosion..
Jaune: Well, the name's Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue - ladies love it!
Me: well we both know thats complete bullshit..
Jaune: ill have you know that they do love it!
Me: your mother doesnt count, pal..
There was an awkward silence before Ruby pipes up
Ruby: so... i got this thing!
She whips out her scythe again and it slams into the ground
My Thoughts: she really needs to stop doing that..
Jaune: whoa! is that a scythe?
Ruby: its also a customisable, high-impact sniper rifle!
Jaune: a-wha?
Me: its a pretty powerful gun..
Jaune: thats cool!
Ruby: So what've you got?
He reveals his sword and shield to use
Jaune: Oh! I, uh... I got this sword!
Ruby: Ooooohh!
Jaune: Yeah, and I've got a shield, too!
Me: simple and reliable..
Ruby: So, what do they do?
The poor guy fumbled around with the shield before finally sorting it out
Jaune: The shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just... put it away...
Me: But... wouldn't it weigh the same?
Jaune: Yeah, it does...
Ruby: Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, sooo... I guess I did go a little overboard when designing it
Jaune and I: Wait - you made that?!
Ruby: Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons! Didn't you make yours?
Jaune: It's a hand-me-down, My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war..
Me: you honor him by using that blade, Jaune
Jaune: thanks..
Ruby: Sounds more like a family heirloom to me, Well, I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days
Jaune: Yeah, the classics...
Me: and i've got these..
I unsheathe my katanas to show them
Me: not anything flashy, but they gets the job done, besides, a wise man once said 'its not about the weapon you use, its about how you use it'
Ozpin: a good choice of words
Ruby: Hmm, Hey, where are we going?
Me: i dunno, i followed you two..
Jaune: Oh, I don't know! I was following you guys y..you think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court? Some kind of recognizable landmark? Is, uh... Is that a no?
Me: yup..
After another 5 minute of wandering around aimlessly, we finally reach to what seemed to be where new students were gathering and i saw Yang waving at us
Yang: hey Ruby, Ether, i saved you guys some spots!
Ruby: i..i gotta go Jaune, i'll see you after the ceremony!
Me: see ya' pal..
We both headed towards Yang and stood next to her
Yang: How's your first day going, little ones?
Me: it could be worse, to be honest..
Ruby: You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?
Yang: Yikes! Meltdown already?
Ruby: No, Iliterally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?
Me: i think there was some electricity aswell..
Yang: Are you both being sarcastic?
Ruby: I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!
Weiss:You!
Ruby: Oh, God, it's happening again!
Weiss: You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!
Yang: Oh my God, you really exploded
Now i closed my eyes, blocking out the on-going argument for a bit, until the sound of a microphone could be heard, i opened my eyes and i see Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch on the stage
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 is 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...
He then leaves as Goodwitch takes to the mic
Goodwitch: You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed..She then leaves aswell, following Ozpin
Me: a bit condecending..
Yang: Right..He seemed kind of...off
Ruby: It's almost like he wasn't even there
Jaune: I'm a natural blonde, you know!
i facepalm at Jaunes shit attempt at flirtation
Later on in the evening:
Everyone was changed into some sleep wear of sorts and a sleeping bag, however, i wasn't prepared for this, so i just decided that i would sleep in what i was wearing and i sat down with my back against the wall, i only just noticed what appeared to be a lit candle and next to it was the girl in black from earlier on, she was wearing a simple black kimono with a white outline and reading her book, until Ruby and Yang came over..
Ruby: Wait! What are you doing?!
Yang was dragging Ruby over to the other girl
Yang: Hel-looooo! I believe you two may know each other?
Black: Aren't you... that girl that exploded?
Ruby: Uh, yeah! My name's Ruby! But you can just call me Crater... Actually, you can just call me Ruby..
My Thoughts: oh crap, this is gonna be awkward..
Black: Okay..
Yang: What are you doing?
Ruby: I don't know -help me!
Yang: So... What's your name?
Black: Blake..
Yang: Well, Blake, I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister! I like your bow!
Blake: Thanks!
My Thoughts: ok now shes getting annoyed..
Yang: It goes great with your... pajamas!
Blake: Right...
Yang: Nice night, don't you think?
Blake: Yes - it's lovely! Almost as lovely as this book! That I will continue to read... As soon as you leave!
Yang: Yeah, this girl's a lost cause
My Thoughts: not to me she isn't!
Yang: Yeah, this girl's a lost cause
Ruby: What's it about?
Blake: Huh?
Ruby: Your book. Does it have a name?
Blake: Well... i-it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body...
My Thoughts: thats not a half-bad concept, honestly
Yang: Oh, yeah... That's real lovely!
Ruby: I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters... They're one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress!
Blake: And why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?
Ruby: Well, 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 protected people who couldn't protect themselves!
Blake: That's... very ambitious for a child.. Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale..
My Thoughts: she does have a point...
Ruby: Well, that's why we're here! To make it better.
Yang: Oh, I am so proud of my baby sister!
Yang then hugs Ruby and they get into a pretty comical fight and Blake and i laughed a little
Blake: Well, Ruby, Yang, it's a pleasure to ha-
Weiss: What in the world is going on over here?! Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?
Weiss and Yang: Oh, not you again!
Ruby: Shh! Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!
Weiss: Oh,now you're on my side!
Ruby: I was always on your side!
Yang: Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice!
Weiss: She's a hazard to my health!
I close my eyes to try and sleep as Blake blows out the candle, making the room dark..
The screen pauses at that moment
Marcus: what do you guys think of that?
Yang: i think Ether has a big crush on Blake~
Blake: I..im sure he just wants us to be friends..
Yang: sure..~
Pyrrha: he doesn't seem that bad, sure he has anger problems but apart from that, he's a good guy
Ruby: yeah, he is!
Jaune: he's pretty cool!
(i hope you guys like that chapter, see you next time lads, byyye!)
