Chapter One: Beacon
"So, Yang" Ruby said, looking out the window of the train they were on. "When will we get there?"
"Whoa whoa, Rubes." Yang said, chuckling. "It'll be a few hours."
"Aww.' Ruby said, pouting. "I wanted to get there soon.'
"Well" Yang said, shrugging. "Just sleep on me and you'll be there before you know it."
"Alright." Ruby said, doing so. She lied down on Yang, eventually feeling the embrace of sleep take her.
Later
"Wake up.' Yang said after what seemed like only a few seconds. "We're here."
"Really?!" Ruby exclaimed, looking out of the window to see the large academy where she'd be for the next four years. It looked very resembling to a castle, one large spire in the center. She saw the large banner over the entrance that said 'Beacon Academy. Formerly Hall of Origins Academy'. There was even a fountain in the middle of the opening court.
"Yep." Yang said. "You ready?"
"Yeah!" Ruby exclaimed, speeding out of the train as soon as it stopped, wilting rose petals in her wake.
"So hyper." Yang said, chuckling.
Ruby kept running forward, not looking where she was going. She ran smack into another student, their heads colliding as they fell to the ground.
"Oww.' Ruby said, rubbing her head where she'd smacked it with the other student's. They both stood up, not looking at each other.
"Ow!" the other student exclaimed. "Watch where you're going, you dunce!"
"I'm sorry." Ruby said, looking at the other student, taking in her form, noticing she was about two years older than herself.
The other student looked to be about nineteen and was wearing a sleeveless, very dark grey uniform top that flowed down to her legs and around her like a cape mixed with a trench coat. It was tattered and ripped at the ends, but this seemed purposeful. There were red borders around the front edge, red buttons in between them. She had on a simple brown belt that seemed to hold the flowing top in place from flapping like a cape. Just above her elbows, held there with simple belts as well, were very dark grey sleeves. These sleeves were folded back, which gave them the small appearance of cuffs of a dress shirt. She wore black gloves that were slightly darker than the sleeves. She wore pants the same shade of her top, the legs being tucked into brown boots. These brown boots seemed combat ready, despite seeming like casual boots. Around her neck and shoulders was a dark grey cloak, which was even more tattered than the uniform top, flowing behind her. The cloak had red lining the untorn edges. Around the neck area of it were long, pointed red gems which seemed to fasten the cloak as well as extend off of it. Her hair was pure snow white, bound in a single, off centered ponytail. Her eyes were an icy cobalt blue, piercing and bold.
Ruby simply stared, speechless.
"Well?!" the other student said. "Aren't you going to say something?"
"H-h-hi." Ruby finally managed to say, extending a hand. "I-I'm Ruby. R-Ruby Yveltal Rose."
"You're a very odd person." The other student said. "However, I suppose you aren't a bad person persay. However, if I am proven wrong, I will haunt your nightmares."
Ruby's breath hitched, the tone the other student took on as she said that intimidating her.
"My name is Weiss." The other student—Weiss—said, taking Ruby's hand. "Weiss Dakuri."
"Got a last name?" Ruby asked.
"None that I wish to disclose.' Weiss said. "For my own reasons, mind you. It has nothing to do with you."
"O-okay." Ruby said, deciding to leave it alone. "So, you been here before?"
"I am a first year.' Weiss said. "I'm assuming you are as well."
"Yep." Ruby said, grinning as she nodded. "I'm gonna be an awesome fighter."
"I see.' Weiss said. "So, you're a child then."
"I am not!" Ruby said, stomping her foot. "For your information, I just turned seventeen last week!"
"And, you still act like you're six." Weiss said. "Grow up, Ruby."
"Oh-oh yeah!" Ruby countered. "Why don't… why don't you grow up!?"
Weiss simply rolled her eyes.
"Let's just get into the school." Weiss said, taking Ruby's hand and beginning to drag her toward the school. "I don't want to be late simply because you wanted to stand around arguing over whether or not you're childish, which you are."
"Am not.' Ruby said, pouting as the white haired girl pulled her into the building.
"Yo, Rubes!" Yang said, catching up at last. She grabbed Ruby, holding her in a headlock. "You ran ahead too fast. Can't be runnin' off on me. Say, who's the chick in black?"
"And, who might you be?" Weiss asked, noticing a small resemblance between the two, despite neither of them sharing a single type.
"Name's Yang.' Yang said, grinning and holding up the V sign. "Yang Flareon Xiao Long. I'm Rubes' sister. How about you?"
"I am Weiss Dakuri." Weiss said, crossing her arms.
"Got a last name, princess?" Yang asked, putting her free hand on her hip.
"None that I'd like to give to you." Weiss said, her tone becoming harder, though it wasn't directed at Yang.
"Seems the apples fall far from the tree." A voice said, its owner walking up to the three of them. The voice itself was quiet, yet very firm.
The owner was a woman who seemed to be Yang and Weiss' age and wore a blackish purple vest over a white shirt. The vest was buttoned on the top button and the one below it. Her biceps were bare, but she wore a blackish purple compression sleeve on her left arm. A deep purple ribbon wound its way up her right arm. She wore a pair of white shorts that tucked a little under a pair of black leggings that steadily bled into purple. She wore purple boots with small heels on them. Her hair was so deep a purple it was black. In her hair, she had a deep purple bow which was a decent size. Her eyes were an amber color, small flecks of green in them.
"And, who might you be?" Weiss asked, suspicious.
"My name is Blake Purrloin Belladonna." The woman, Blake, said, starring at Weiss with a scanning eye. "You may call me Blake. I already know who you three are, so you don't need to do introductions."
"And, just what did you mean by that remark?" Weiss asked, crossing her arms and looking at Blake.
"You know what I mean by it." Blaze said, her tone unchanging.
"I see." Weiss said, relaxing her grip. "I suppose it wouldn't do to get off on the wrong foot."
"No.' Blake said, extending her hand. "It would not."
"I smell cookies!" Ruby shouted, looking around despite still being in Yang's headlock. She sniffed, her nose ending up at Yang's pocket. She reached in, pulling out three chocolate chip cookies, eating them quickly.
Blake was surprised at this, Weiss shocked. Yang just chuckled, patting Ruby on the head as she released her from her headlock.
"So" Yang said, smirking. "Now, that you've found the cookies, let's find us a place to watch the opening ceremony."
"Alright." Ruby said, nodding. "Let's go."
The three of them headed with the other students into a large hall that looked like a ballroom. In the center of the room stood a man with a woman standing next to him. There was a microphone in front of them, the man looking like he was about to speak into it.
The man was dressed in a dark grey suit that was unzipped over a much darker grey vest with a greyish green shirt. He had on dark green pants that had grey stripes as well as black shoes. He wore an olive green cowl with a golden wheel like object in the center of it. The wheel had seventeen different colored dots inside of the gaps in it. He had ashy grey hair that was a little spiked, though it was a little long in the back. His eyes were brown with flecks of green in them.
The woman was dressed in red orange suit pants that had pure orange flame designs on them. She had black heeled shoes that clicked as she stepped. She wore a white button up shirt that was under a yellow vest. She wore red orange detachable sleeves that led to black gloves. In her right hand was a stick that she held like a riding crop. Her hair was blonde with two red streaks on the side. Her eyes were green with flecks of red in them. There was a stern gaze in her eyes as they swept over the students that were standing in the ballroom.
"Greetings students.' The man said, a hush going over the crowd. "I am professor Ozpin Arceus. This lady next to me is Miss Glynda Delphox Goodwitch. For you second, third, and fourth years, this isn't new information to you. However, some of you are in your first year. I will keep this brief so that you can get situated and get to know one another. If you were unaware, this school was originally a simple academy known as the Hall of Origins. However, once the plague we know as Pokérus began to spread across this world of Remnant, this academy underwent new curriculum. We are now, and have been for several centuries, a school of battle. We combat the darkness which that dreaded virus has wrought upon us: the Shadow, corrupted beings that have been infected with the virus. It is at this school that you will learn how to fight. You will learn how to combat the Shadow, but most importantly, you will learn how to work as a team. You will not always be fighting this together, but you will need your teamwork to combat the threat these infected humans pose. Now, you are dismissed to mingle, but be sure to get a good night's rest. You will need it."
As Ozpin and Glynda left the stage, the students began to mingle with one another once again.
"So" Ruby said to Weiss, Blake, and Yang. "We should totally do some fun stuff together."
"Like what?" Weiss asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know." Ruby said. "What do you guys wanna do?"
"I guess we could look around the place to see what's up." Yang said, shrugging. "Maybe check out our dorms."
"That sounds great!" Ruby said, taking out the paper she'd received in the mail with her student information. "I got D-103."
"That's odd." Weiss said, looking at the paper she had. "That's my room too."
"I got D-105.' Yang said, looking at her paper.
"Same here.' Blake said. "Looks like we're roommates."
"Woohoo!" Ruby shouted. "We can hang out and do fun stuff!"
"You are very childish." Weiss said, rolling her eyes.
"Well, Weissy" Ruby said, shrugging with a grin. "I guess I'm just made that way."
"Did" Weiss asked, confused. "Did you just call me Weissy?"
"Yeah." Ruby said, nodding. "It's your new nickname. I came up with it earlier."
"Don't ever call me that again." Weiss said. "That's such a childish name. I am a woman and wish to be referred to as such."
"Awww." Ruby said, pouting. "Fine. I'll call you something else. How about popsicle?"
"No." Weiss said in a stern tone, shaking her head.
"How about…" Ruby thought. "Snow cone?"
"NO!" Weiss said. "I'm not even an Ice type. My sister, however, is, but I am not."
"Do you know Ice type moves?" Ruby asked.
"Yes." Weiss said, sighing. "I know several due to my father being an Ice type."
"Cool!" Ruby said, amazed. "Let's go to our room and talk about your moves more!"
Now it was Ruby's turn to drag Weiss through the area, looking for their room. Their search took them a few minutes, but eventually it yielded results.
Once they'd found it, they realized that Yang and Blake's room was right next to theirs, also connected to their room by a door in their room. The rooms themselves had two beds each as well as two nightstands in between each with a lamp on both. There was a single bathroom in each with a shower and a toilet and sink with several cabinets each.
"I don't know about you guys" Yang said, stretching. "But, I'm gonna sleep like the dead. And, so is Ruby. If you two ever wanna sleep over, you're welcome to."
"Yay!" Ruby exclaimed. "Sleepover!"
"Let's just go to bed." Weiss said, rolling her eyes. "It's 9PM and we'll have to get up at six."
"Alright, princess." Ruby said. "Let's go to bed."
Weiss groaned at the nickname as she walked over to the left bed in her room, placing her things on it. Ruby went to the right one, flopping right down onto it without getting under the covers. Yang and Blake did similar and soon, all four were in slumber-land, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
So, they've arrived. With some new friends too. Cool. I wonder what happens next. Find out soon.
So, I'm assuming you're wondering why Weiss isn't an Ice type like you'd assume (she's a Darkrai if you didn't figure that out). Well, the reason for that is because I saw a picture of a human Darkrai and I instantly thought of Weiss when I saw it. Here's the link (just go on google and add this at the end of the link):
