Hello there valued fan fiction reader. It's your number one procrastinator Nightspaz here with another exciting entry of my story. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I was at a convention for a week and when I got back, my computer decided to commit suicide so I lost everything but no matter, I will keep on going. I still have a few characters I have to develop and introduce but once we are done with that, I got my own story in the works that I think you will enjoy so don't go anywhere. I'm going to try and figure out a schedule for uploads, I'm thinking Wednesdays with a few here and there on other days but this isn't set in stone as I am very busy and lazy at the same time so you never know but they will get up. Also, while I do have OCs that I made and are important characters, I am horrible at creating ones that are only there for a chapter or two, so here's what I'm thinking. You guys can message me with your OCs and if I like them, I will put them in for a little bit and them and my guys can meet and talk or fight or do whatever. But if someone makes me Concept art or a cover for my story, they will get a shout out in my story, their character is guaranteed to be put in for a longer period time than normal and they earn a permanent place on my don't kill list when I am supreme ruler of the world, so food for thought. So without further a due here is the next chapter.

Alfred opened his eyes to find himself strapped to an operating table. A bright light from a lamp blinded him so he couldn't see where he was. As his eyes adjusted, he looked around to see a table with various surgical tools next to him and a green wall in front of him with a large window looking into a viewing room with a shadow of a man inside.
"Why Al? Why did you do it?" asked a voice of the last man Alfred wanted hear.
The shadow in the window moved and opened a door next to the window and walked inside. He was tall man, about an inch shorter than Alfred. He had short pitch black hair that was covered by a top hat. He had midnight purple eyes that seemed to pierce into Alfred's very soul. He was wearing a black over coat similar to a trench coat with a fur collar, under it was a black dress shirt that seem to blend in with the coat along with a purple vest that had a silk white tie, black pants and suave black shoes that came to a point. Along his pants were metal joints that looked like a brace. It was the last person Alfred wanted to see. It was his brother Jack.
"How did you find me Jack?" Alfred said looking his brother dead in the eye.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about how I found you, you should be worried about what comes next" Jack said examining the surgical tools on the table. He grabbed a small scalpel and touched to tip to test its sharpness. "Do you know when the last time I saw you was? I believe it was when I was watching your casket being buried with you dead inside yet here you lay alive and kicking, do you mind explaining to me why that is?"
"Well I could tell you but I'm pretty sure that even if I did the outcome of it would be the same" Alfred replied.
Jack sighed "Your right Al, it doesn't matter how you are still alive. It's not you I want anyway. I want the other you, I want Alex"
Alfred looked at him for a moment before laughing. "You want Alex? You're crazier than you look. Alex is long gone"
"No, He still here. He's just locked up and buried under that mind of yours" Jack said.
"And how do you plan on getting him out? I spent years make sure he was gone"
Jack smiled, "Oh Al, all of these years I would assume you know that when I want something. I do anything I can to get it" Jack quickly took the scalpel and stabbed Alfred in his chest causing him to scream in pain.
Alfred jerked forward panting and sweating from his dream, it's only a dream Al, it's only a dream. He shook his head to clear it of his dream but it still lurked in his brain. He looked out the window to see the sun starting to rise. He guessed it was about 5:30 so he had a couple of hours before initiation started. He looked around to see that most people were still sleeping. Perfect time for me to go get changed.
He got up from his sleeping bag and rolled it up. He grabbed his violin case and hat and made his way to the locker room being careful not to wake anyone up on his way there. He went to the same corner he went the night. He took off his shirt and the under amour revealing his bare chest and put them on the bench next to him. He put in the locker combination and pulled the locker. But it wouldn't open.
"What?" Alfred said out loud.
He put in the combination again and pull harder but it still didn't open. This time he got annoyed. He tried again and again pulling harder and harder every time. "God damn it" Alfred was about to punch the locker when he heard gasping behind him.
"Whose ther..." his failed when he saw the person behind him.
It was a small girl, a bit taller than Ruby, with brown eyes, long brown hair, and most importantly, two long brown rabbit ears on top of her head. She was wearing a black form-fitting top and a dark brown, long-sleeved jacket that comes down to her chest. Her leggings consist of two parts: a pair of dark brown shorts and a pair of black form-fitting leggings that come to just below her hips. Her jacket and leggings have small amounts of embellished metal armor attached to them, and she wears a large armored belt. Her shoes have embellished metal on the heel and toe. She had to be the cutest girl he has ever seen.
"What are you doing in the boy's locker room" Alfred asked the Faunus girl.
"The boy's locker room..." the girl said in a quiet voice looking around.
Alfred took a quick look around too. It was the exact same locker room from the night before. That was until his eyes got to the bathroom area, there was six stalls and no urinals. Wait... something not right here
"I think a better question is why I am in the girl's locker room?" Alfred said realizing his mistake.
The girl nodded awkwardly "Soooo, nice scars you got there" she said trying to make this situation not awkward. Little did she know that she just struck the most personal and delicate nerve in Alfred's body.
"Hey well nice ears you got there" Alfred said in a very douchy manner. Ah crap that was a very dick move on my part.
The girl immediately lowered her head and her ears lowered. Alfred heard her starting to sniffle.
"Sorry about that. My scars are a very delicate subject as I'm sure your ears are a touchy subject too. If it's any consolation, they're quite beautiful" Alfred apologized.
She looked up and raised her ears in curiosity, "What do you mean?"
"Your ears. They fit you pretty well. Man, I wish I had a pair" Alfred admitted.
She blushed a little bit and looked down, "You're just saying that"
"No I'm not. I think having ears like that would be the best thing ever" he said smiling.
She sighed, "You wouldn't be saying that if you actually had them"
Alfred pretended to think about this, "Nah, I'm pretty sure that I would just become twice as awesome"
The girl chuckled, "You must be the first human that wishes they were a faunus"
Alfred shrugged, "Probably, but you have to admit that it would be pretty cool to see me with a monkey tail or a pair of dog ears"
"It would be a sight to see. I'm Velvet by the way" she said.
Alfred took a step back and bowed, "Alfred Caponen at your service"
"Well Alfred, it would probably be nicer to meet you if you weren't shirtless" she pointed out.
Alfred quickly looked at down at his bare chest before grabbing his white shirt to cover his scars, but it was short sleeved and didn't cover his fore arms.
"So how did you get them?" She asked.
"I was magician's assistant and we did that trick where they put me on the wheel and spin me while they throw knives on me, didn't work out that well" Alfred said sarcastically.
"I'm guessing that's not true"
"Nope, no offense Velvet, but I'm not too comfortable talking about something this personal to a person I met 10 minutes ago"
Velvet nodded "I guess that's fair. You know you should probably leave before another girl comes in"
"Right, well it was nice meeting you Velvet"
"It was nice to meet you too even though it was under weird circumstances" Velvet said.
Alfred snapped his fingers and his fedora appeared in his right hand. He tipped it in Velvet's direction before leaving the girls locker room and making his way to the boy's locker room.
He quickly changed into his normal attire and went back to the viewing platform where he slept. He looked at his stuff, besides the sleeping bag that was provide for him, he only had three bags, his clothes bag, his violin case, and his video game bag that he valued more than life itself. Compared to other people like that Weiss Schnee who had luggage carts full of bags, he didn't have much at all. He grabbed what he had and started walking towards the stairs.
He went down to the cafeteria and ate some breakfast. As he was there, he tried to examine the other students but he couldn't keep himself from watching one particular orange haired girl who amazingly could talk nonstop to a poor unfortunate boy while eating stacks of pancakes. It astonished Alfred to point of him wanting to shake the girl hand for going where no man has dare gone before.
He finished up eating and went down to the locker room to put away his stuff. He put in his suitcase and his gaming bag into the locker. He stopped when he looked at his violin case. I probably should take it out. I am going to use it soon so I should make sure all the parts are there.
He traced his hand on the edges of the case until he felt the coldness of metal straps keeping the case closed. He undid the straps and opened the case to reveal a beautiful brown violin and black bow. The violin looked like any other violin except that on the base there were two etchings, both were playing cards. One was of the queen of spades on the right side of the violin and the other was the Ace of Diamonds, the same one that was on Alfred's hat, that was etched on the left side of the violin.
He grabbed the violin where the base meets the bridge, "Hand print confirmed, activating Dust Disguised Combination weapon codenamed : Peeping Tom" a electronic voice said.
All of a sudden the violin began to flicker and it was replaced by a Thompson Sub Machine Gun. Of course it didn't exactly look like a Thompson Sub Machine gun as it had moving parts so it looked more mechanized and had white lines that pulsated running across the gun.
"Please insert Ammo Clip" the electronic voice said.
"Ugh, I forgot how annoying this voice was" Alfred said taking off his hat. He put down his weapon and put both of his hands on the bottom and the top of his fedora. He quickly flattened his fedora and removed his hands. When he did this, his fedora was replaced by a 50 round drum magazine. He inserted the magazine into his gun.
"Normal ammunition loaded"
"You know what Tom, makes these bullets blanks will ya?" he said to his gun.
"Ammo type changed to Blanks"
He looked around and noticed two girls talking. One of them was had a red hooded on and the other one had yellow hair. Hey it's that girl who exploded yesterday. What's her name Rebecca, Riana, Rubes, Ruby. Yeah that's her name Ruby, maybe I should give them a good old scare.
Alfred aimed his gun at them and pulled the trigger hoping that the bang will scare them out of their skin.
"Required part missing, Safety engaged" the annoy electronic voice reminded.
Alfred hung his head in failure, God damn it, There is always one thing that I forget. He grabbed the black violin bow. He attached the bow to the bottom of the barrel and it began to flicker similar to what the violin did. When it was done it revealed a long sharp blade attached to the gun like a bayonet.
"Transformation complete, Peeping Tom is now activated" the electronic voice said.
He looked at his weapon, he called it Peeping Tom because of a story his mother used to tell him. This weapon used to his mother's so he figured it calling it after one of her stories was out of respect for her.
He moved his index finger along the trigger handle until he felt a button. He pressed the button. All of a sudden the weapon began the change. The trigger handle began moving up until it went inside the stock leaving the trigger on the outside. The drum magazine turned sideways and went into the body of the rifle, and the blade went inside the barrel and extended until the weapon became short sword with the stock as the hilt.
"Sword transformation complete" the electronic voice said.
Alfred groaned "Tom, delete Vocal program"
"Confirmative, Deleting Vocal program… Wait what?" the electronic voice began to ask before failing.
Alfred smiled at the thought of never hearing that voice again.
"Will all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliffs for initiation, Again will all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliffs for initiation" an Announcement said.
Alfred turned his weapon into gun form and put it on his back as he walked to Beacon cliffs.
When he got there, he saw Ozpin and Goodwitch standing by the edge of the cliff and a couple dozen small platforms in front of them. Alfred stood on the first one of the line and waited for everyone to get there.
When everyone was there, Ozpin started talking. Alfred ignored him until he mentioned teammates.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time year at Beacon. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next 4 years" Ozpin explained.
Wait what, the first person I make eye contact with ?! What if the first person I make eye contact with already has a partner, will he have two partners and we become an awkward threesome? This system of selection has a lot of flaws in it.
Alfred was going to raise his hand to ask Ozpin about this very confusing selection process when he started hearing clicking.
Click Click Click
He looked down and saw that the sounds were coming from the platform. Wait, why is are these platforms clicking?
"Are there any questions… Good, let us begin"
Alfred looked up over the cliff and back down at the platform making the connection between the two.
"Oh you got to be kidding me" He said to himself before he was launched to the air and to certain death.
Since he was sure he was going to die, he figured he given them something to remember him by "TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN" He yelled back at the cliff sure that those would be that last words he ever spoke again.
