As the airship docked to let the students off at Beacon, Ravus decided to rejoin his sisters. The three siblings walk off, passing the poor guy who was losing more of his lunch into the trash can. They followed the paved pathway until they all stopped.
"Wow..." They all said in unison as they stopped, taking in the elegance and magnitude of Beacon Academy.
"The view from Vale's got nothing on this!" Yang observed aloud. However, Ruby started observing something else.
"Ohmygosh, sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff!" Her she goes. Ravus thought with a smile as Ruby gawked over the weapons passing them by and couldn't help but laugh as Yang pulled Ruby back into reality by hood of her cape. "Thanks for the backup brother." Ruby said as she readjusted her cap on her.
"Hey, I saw no point in interfering." Ravus responded.
"Yeah, you gotta take it easy, little sister. They're just weapons!" Yang added as Ruby eye began wandering to look at more weapons.
"'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves!" Ruby explained enthusiastically. "They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!"
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" As if it was an invitation Ruby suddenly transformed her weapon from compact to scythe.
"Watch it sis, you're gonna give someone a black eye." Ravus commented, personally knowing the pain of being in the way when Crescent Rose transforms.
"Sorry." Ruby apologized quietly before returning to Yang. "And pr course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..." Yang playfully pushed Ruby's hood down over her face. Both Ravus and Yang knew how accidentally anti-social Ruby can get.
"Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own? And that included you too little bro." Yang added pointing a finger at Ravus. He just rolled his eyes. He admittedly wasn't much better than Ruby at times.
"But... why would I need friends if I have you two?" Ruby asked as she lifted her hood back up after Yang pushed it over her head.
"Well..." Suddenly a large group surrounded Yang and began walking away with her down the pathway, "Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up. 'Kay, see ya, bye!" Yang's voice tailed off as she disappeared from sight.
"Wait, where are you going?!" Ruby called off after Yang. "Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" Ruby paused from spinning aimlessly and looked over at Ravus. "I don't know what I'm doing..." With a flop she fell backwards, sending luggage flying from a cart that had made its way behind her. Ravus started to bend down and help Ruby up when a cold voice suddenly yelled.
"What are you doing?!" Ravus looked over and saw a girl with a long white ponytail that matched her pristine dress.
"Uh, sorry!" Ruby apologized as Ravus finished helping her up.
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?" The girl shouted.
"Uuhhh..."
"Hey, it was an accident." Ravus told the girl, stepping in front of Ruby.
"Then why didn't you stop it?" She accused Ravus. "You were standing right there and give me that!" She snapped, returning her attention back to Ruby as she snatched a piece of the luggage from her hands. "This is Dust - mined and purified from the Schnee quarry!" She rudely explained as she opened up the luggage to check for damage.
"Uuuhhhh..."
"What are you two, brain-dead?" The girl asked, getting more annoyed, as she did the picked up a vial and shut the case, dust blowing out from the force. "Dust! Fire, water, lightning, energy!" She continued, shaking and spewing more dust contents with every word she said.
"I... I know..." Ruby attempted to say as Ravus covered his nose and backed up, more particles floating in the air.
"Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!" The girl yelled at Ruby. Rather than giving a response, Ruby ended up sneezing, right in the direction of the angry girl. On top of that, Ruby somehow managed to activate the dust, causing an eruption of flame, snowflakes, and electricity straight at the girls face. Weiss. As the cloud cleared he could see that the once white girl was now grey, though her eyes looked like they could burn a hole through metal.
Oh this will be fun.
"Wait, you so just left your siblings stranded in the courtyard?" Yang blinked at her brown haired friend confused.
"Yeah, Vivian. They need to grow outside of their comfort zones a little." Yang responded as the group of friends caught up on their summer antics, including Yang's story of her siblings and the dust shop.
Vivian fiddled with the gold charm that hung from her choker. She didn't want to step on Yang's toes since they were her siblings, but Vivian remembered Ruby and Ravus from Signal. Nearly inseparable, the only ways you might not recognize them as twins was their choice of color and fighting style.
"Don't worry Vivian." Yang reassured her. "They've got each other and can take care of themselves." Vivian nodded, glad at least that they were together.
"So did you do anything exciting since graduating Viv?" Yang asked.
"Well, you know Vale, Yang." Vivian started. "After you've lived here a while not much exciting happens unless there's a festival in town."
"You're just not looking in the right places." Yang joked, giving Vivian a nudge.
"Yeah, there's gotta be something new for you to do Vivian." Another one of their friends commented. "I've lived in Vale all my life and still find something new each summer." Vivian smiled at her friends, knowing their well intentions. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't really go out and explore Vale much.
You never know who might be out there. She thought, holding her pendant tightly. As she looked on past her friends, she spotted a girl with short, bright red hair walking toward the main building.
Remind me again where you are going? Beacon, Lola, I can become a Huntress!
The read headed girl paused her skipping as she came to the statue guarding Beacon. She wore a red halter neck crop top and a black skirt that appeared to wrap around her waist. Resting on her hip were two matching black belts
Ah, right. Huntress. The new warriors of Remnant. I'm not sure about warriors Grandma. We train to protect the people. To be heroes!
She rocked back and forth in her wedged knee high boots as she gazed at the statue and at Beacon, the institution built after the Great War to prevent such an event from happening again.
Being a hero isn't easy Natasha.
"But you were one Grandma." Natasha said out loud, holding Tranquil tightly as she straightened herself like the stone Huntress. "And I'm going to be one too."
