Chapter 2:Welcome to Beacon

Agent Washington was in charge of greeting and directing the students of Atlas.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon. Please follow those two to your dormitory," he said, pointing to Agent Ortez and Felix. As he was greeting, he was surprised to see an old friend. "James. I'm surprised to see you here."

"Well. Didn't Ozpin tell you I was attending the festival?"

"Not really. Well, I guess you already know where his office is."

"Yes, I'll leave you back to your duties," James said, walking away.

As Ozpin and Glynda were watched the Airships fly in, Glynda said "Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels."

"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man," Ozpin said, still watching more military ships fly by. "But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." Then, he heard a series of beeps, meaning someone wanted to enter his office. "Come in." The office doors open, with James Ironwood coming in.

"Ozpin," Ironwood shouted, cheerfully.

"Hello, General."

"Please, drop the formalities. It's been too long." After shaking his hand, he noticed Glynda. "And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."

"Oh, James! I'll be outside," she said, leaving the office.

"Well, she hasn't changed a bit."

Ozpin went to his desk to grab a mug and a kettle, pouring it while saying "So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival."

"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year. Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up."

After giving Ironwood the mug, Ozpin sat on his desk and poured a glass for himself. "I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned," he said.

"Well, concerned is what brought them here," Ironwood replied.

"I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult."

"Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men."

He set his mug down, and said "We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression."

"But if what Qrow said is true..."

"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully. It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent."

"I'm just being cautious."

"As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can."

"Believe me, I am." As Ironwood was leaving, he turned around and said "But ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?"

As he exited, Ozpin said to himself "I hope they never have to."

In the library, on one table RWB2Y were playing a board game called 'Remnant:The Game,' while JNPR were reading. Ruby was planning a strategy, Weiss confused of what to do, Bill just reading and watching the game being played, his robot 'guardian,' Legion also watching, Blake not focusing on the game, and Yang was looking at Ruby and her own cards.

After planning it, Ruby shouted "Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!"

"Bring it on," Yang shouted back.

"I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet! Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!"

"You fiend!"

"And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time is only one turn." Her grin left her face as Yang began to laugh.

"Pretty sneaky, sis, but you just activated my trap card!"

She showed her card, as Ruby shouted "Say what?!"

"Giant Nevermore! If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two!"

"But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces," Ruby stated.

"That's just a chance I'm willing to take." She rolled her dice and cheered as she won the battle with her sister.

"Nooooo! My fearless soldiers!"

"Eh, most of them were probably androids."

"Goodbye my friends, you will be avenged."

"Not until I draw my rewards! Which are double this round thanks to the Mistral Trade Route!"

"Bah," she shouted, throwing her pieces at JNPR. Jaune was reading his comic, but was interrupted by Pyrrha, who handed him a book to study.

"Oh, and what's this? The Smugglers of Wind Path?"

"Bah! Bah, I say!" Jaune groaned, but picked it up anyway, handing her the comic. She smiled, and started to read it.

"I say, it looks like I'm taking two cards in my hand!"

"Have you no heart?" A piece then hit Jaune's head. He looked up to see Ruby crying in defeat.

"Do you act this way every time you play this game," Legion asked.

"Yes," Ruby replied, still crying.

"Well, Weiss, it's your turn," Yang said.

"I have... absolutely no idea what's going on," she said, confused. She looked at Bill and asked "Do you know how to play?"

"Nope," he replied, his eyes glued to his book.

Yang then went up to her and said "Look, it's easy! You're playing as Vacuo which means that all Vacuo-based cards come with a bonus."

"That sounds dumb."

"See, you've got Sandstorm, Desert Scavenge... Oh, oh! Resourceful Raider! See, now you can take Ruby's discarded Air Fleet—"

"Nooo!"

"—and put it in your hand!"

"Okay."

"And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance against Natural-based hazards, you can use Sandstorm to disable my ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom! Just know that I will not forget this declaration of war."

"And that means..."

"You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant," Ruby said, still crying. Weiss stood up, and began laughing psychotically, which made Bill uncomfortable.

She said "Y-yes! Fear the almighty power of my forces! Cower as they pillage your homes and weep as they take your children from your very arms!"

"Trap card," Yang interrupted.

"Huh?"

After shuffling the pieces, Yang said "Your armies have been destroyed." Weiss slumped in her chair and started to tear up.

"I hate this game of emotions we play."

Ruby hopped over Bill, and landed on Weiss, saying "Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!"

"Shut up! Don't touch me!" She then started to hug Ruby, still crying.

Then, Bill said "Wait…what was that about 'taking children from their mother's arms.'"

"I was in the moment," Weiss said, letting go of Ruby.

Then Yang said "Alright Blake, you're up!"

"Oh, um, sorry, what am I doing," she asked.

"You're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the Kingdoms of Remnant!"

"Right."

"Hey! Can I play," Jaune asked, as he approached their table.

"Sorry Jaune, we've already got 4 people," Ruby replied.

"But, what about Bill?"

"Not playing."

"Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt that you possess," Weiss rudely said.

"Uhh, you attacked your own naval fleet 2 turns ago."

Weiss looked down sadly as Jaune said "Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I have been told that I am a natural born leader!"

"By who? Your mother?"

"A-and Pyrrha!"

"Hello again," Pyrrha said, waving to RWB2Y.

"HELLO!"

Bill put his book over his head and shouted "Oh my god!" He looked up to see a familiar person in blue power armor. "Caboose? Is that you?"

"Yes…am I me? I don't know," he said, now confused.

"Who is this," Jaune asked, backing away slowly.

"This is Caboose," Yang started. "We met him a few weeks ago."

"Oh, well hi."

"Hello!" He then turned to Team RWB2Y and said "Do you guys want to meet my team."

"Team?!"

"Yes!" Caboose then turned the other way and shouted "Guys! Come over here and meet my other friends!" RWB2Y then started to hear whispers coming from around the bookshelves.

"Come on, just go."

"I really don't want to."

"Me neither."

"If you don't, then I'll beat your asses again."

"Fine, we'll meet them."

"Ok. The only reason I'm meeting them so he doesn't bother us for the whole day wanting us to meet them. Now…follow in after me."

"Bow chicka bow wow."

"Never mind, I'll kick your ass later."

"Meh…it was worth it."

Then, a person in similar power armor, but it was black and the helmet looked upgraded. They then looked at Caboose's new friends, and shouted, with a feminine voice "Bill!"

Bill recognized the voice, stood up, and shouted "Tex!"

As he went over to hug her, Jaune said "Is that his girlfriend?" He looked at Weiss and said "So…I guess that means your single."

"No, you dolt. That's his sister."

"Dang it!"

Legion went up to Tex and said "Nice to see you again, Tex."

"You too, Legion," Tex replied. Then, another person, wearing similar armor than Tex, but was cobalt.

"Oh, Bill, what's going-" He then noticed everyone else. "Hey, Tucker. You should come over here and meet Tex's brother!"

"Her brother," another voice from behind the corner said. "Hell no I'm not going to meet her brother!"

The man then went up to the girls of RWB2Y and said "Ok, I'll present myself later, but right now. Be. Quiet."

"But-"

He shushed Yang and said "I'm not trying to be bad. But I'm trying to save all of you."

After a few moments of silence, Nora, who was sleeping, said "Paancaaakes."

"Was that what I think it was," the boy from the corner asked.

"No," Cobalt said.

"Soooo maaaannny paaaaaaancaaaaaaakes."

"Seriously, please someone make. Her. Be. Quiet."

"Ok, now I know that's a girl."

"We're fucked," Cobalt said. Then, an aqua colored person came around the corner, and stared at everyone, mostly the girls.

Then, he shouted "Bow chicka bow wow!" The first person he went to was Yang. "Hey baby. How about I take you out for a drink sometime this week," he said.

"I don't like that idea," she said. "How about I kick you 5 million times right…there." She pointed to his crotched, which made him back away.

Then, he went to Weiss and said "Hey, how about you baby. How about I take you on the fun train. Bow chicka bow wow."

"No, how about I burn your clothes, tie you up and leave you stranded in the courtyard."

He then went over to Blake, who said "Talk and you'll regret it."

Then, he began flirting with Ruby. "Hey there. I see you're interested in board games. Interested in anything else?"

Ruby then said "Well, I'm actually love to talk about guns. Especially mine. It's a sniper rifle I use to shoot things, and it's also a scythe I use to cut things. Especially things that is annoying and aqua."

Yang began to tear up, saying "That's my little sis. I taught her everything I know."

Defeated, Aqua went up to Cobalt and said "I hate this school. Take me back to Blood Gulch."

"It'll be like this everywhere, Tucker." He walked up to the girls and said "Whelp…now that he failed, I'm Church."

"He's my best friend," Caboose interrupted.

"I. Am. Not. Your. Best friend!"

"Yes, you are."

"Anyway, who are your teammates, Bill?"

"Well," he began. "That's Ruby. Weiss-"

"You can call her Ice Queen."

"Yang!"

"That's Blake, and that one is Yang."

Then, Tex asked "Wait? Yang, isn't that the girl who-"

"Yes."

She looked at Yang and said "Keep doing what you're doing."

"Will do."

"I hate all of you."

Then, Tex sat next to Weiss and said "So…you're the lucky girl."

"Um…yes?"

"I'm going to give you some dating advice, just go easy on him. You're his first crush, and girlfriend."

"Tex, please, shut the hell up."

"Ok, ok, just giving you advice."

"Hey Bill! I liking your sister," Yang said. Bill looked at Weiss, who was blushing.

"Tex, I think you broke her," Church said.

"So, who's your team leader," Ruby asked.

Church then said "You're looking at him."

"What's your team's name? CTCT(Sit Sit)? TTCC(Teks)? CTTC(Sit Tic)? TCTC(Tic-tac)"

"Actually, it's just Blue team."

"Oh, just playing it simple."

"Yeah…so, who's this," he said, pointing to Jaune.

"Oh, that's Jaune, leader of Team JNPR," Ruby said, pointing to JNPR's table.

"So, why are you here," Church asked.

"Oh, that question makes me think a lot," Caboose said.

"You have a brain," Tucker replied.

"No, Caboose, I mean why he is talking to them."

"Oh…what are we talking about?"

"Let's move on."

"Oh…yeah." He looked at RWB2Y and asked "Can I please play?"

"No."

"Come on, let me play your hand for a turn!"

"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo," Weiss said.

"Why not? You've trusted me with way more important stuff before. I mean, you told us all that Blake is secretly a Fa-"

Pyrrha darted out of her seat, put her hand over his mouth and said "Fun-loving person, whom we all admire and respect."

Blake just started to glare at everyone, as Caboose says "A fun-loving person! When did that happen! How did this happen?! How long was I asleep?!"

"Caboose, shut up," Church shouted.

Jaune then said "Right. That. Ladies, enjoy your battle."

"Sup losers…and new people." They all turned around to see Sun and a boy with blue hair next to him.

"Hey Sun," Ruby said.

"Who are these guys?"

"My sister and her team," Bill replied.

"You have a sister!" "

Yeah."

"Well, as I was saying; Ruby, Yang, Blake, Legion, Bill…Ice Queen."

"Why does everyone keep calling me that," Weiss sadly asked.

"I don't call that," Caboose said. As Weiss began to smile, he said "I call you Misses Ice Queen."

"Thanks…I feel better."

Then, Sun continued "I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend."

"Uhh, aren't libraries for reading," Neptune asked.

Then Ren shouted "Thank you!"

This made Nora wake up and shout "Pancakes!"

Sun looked at Neptune and said "Shut up. Don't be a nerd."

"Geh, geh, geh, geh! "Intellectual," okay? Thank you. I'm Neptune."

"Where are you from," Yang asked.

"Haven," he answered, going up to Weiss. "And I don't believe I've caught your name, snow angel." Weiss then said

"Walk away. Just walk away and I won't hurt you."

Neptune slowly backed away, as Sun went up to Blake and said "I never took you as the board game playing type."

"Right, well, I think I'm done playing actually," she said, leaving. "I'll see you guys later."

As she left, Nora shouted "Women."

As Blake left, everyone started to take turns playing. Yang won against Ruby, Weiss and Bill, then against Church, Tucker, and Jaune. After that, she won against Caboose, who lost the first second of the game, Legion, and Tex, who was so close to winning. Then after that, she almost won against Sun, Neptune and Bill, but lost to Neptune.

"He defiantly cheated," she kept shouting, as they were walking to their dorm.

"He played fair and square, Yang," Legion replied.

"No, he's just a stinky cheater!"

"No, you just made the wrong move," Ruby said.

"Yeah," Bill began. "Now stop complaining, please."

"Well, I never lost before."

"Well, now that you have; lose with your digni-"

He was interrupted as someone small bumped into him.

"I'm sorry," the voice said. They all looked down…really down to see a small girl, probably even smaller than Ruby, with brown/blood hair, two strands of hair on each side of her face, with hazel and cat ears. "I didn't see you there," she apologized.

"No, it my mistake too," Bill said, helping her up. "I wasn't looking either." As she stood up, they noticed that she was smaller than Ruby.

"ADARA!" The smaller girl turned around, with a frown. She was then grabbed by a sandy blonde girl, with her hair combed to one side.

"I told you not to wander off," she said.

"Well, I'm sorry that I wanted to explore the school," Adara said back.

"I know, I know. But we don't know this school. There could be-!" She then turned to Team RWBY, with anger in her eyes.

"We're not racists," Bill replied.

She then said "What about Ice Queen here?"

"EVERYTIME," Weiss shouted. She then looked down and muttered "I hate life."

"Don't worry, we're all cool," Yang said.

"Well, we'll see you around." As they were about to leave, Bill noticed an object where Adara had fell.

He picked it up and said "Hey you dropped this…Pixie Stick?"

Both girls stopped and turned around. "Don't tell me you stole that from Emily."

Adara was silent, until she said "It was for her own good." Then, they all heard screaming.

"THERE'S MY PIXIE STICK!"

"Oh dear," Adara muttered. Then, someone had zoomed past Adara, took the Pixie Stick, and zoom back. They all turned to see a blue haired girl, her hair in a ponytail that was on one side of her head, and with yellow eyes holding the Pixie Stick.

"I thought I lost you," she said, putting the candy up to her face. "Who took you, my precious?" She then started to stare at the two girls.

The blonde hair girl then pointed to Adara and shouted "It was all her!"

"Bask, what the hell!" Before the blued hair girl could say anything else, someone put their hand on her shoulder.

"Please don't scream," the person said. "They still haven't fixed the windows you broke." RWBY looked and saw a boy, who was as big as Cardin, behind the girl. His hair was brown, and he wore an eye patch. The eye that was visible was blue.

The girl turned around and said "It wasn't my fault, Jayde!"

"You left some of the students in the hospital."

"They were messing Adara."

"Emily, you basically made her deaf because of it. She still has hearing problems."

As Jayde said this, Adara shouted "What!"

"That proves my point." He then noticed RWBY, and said "Oh, I'm sorry if my teammates caused trouble." As he walked to them, he took the Pixie Stick out of Emily's hand.

"Hey!"

As he went up to them, Ruby said "There weren't any problems."

He brought out his hand and said "I'm Jayde Asper, leader of Team JABE."

Ruby shook it and said "Ruby Rose, leader of Team RWBY, with a two."

"A two? Where is it at," Jayde asked.

"After the B."

"Oh…so what are your names?"

"Well, that's Weiss, Bill, and my sister, Yang."

"And who is the badass robot guy," Emily asked.

Legion then said "Well, that's three people, you owe me some oil Xiao Long."

"Darn! I knew I shouldn't have taken that bet," Yang said.

"That's Legion, Bill's…we don't really know," Ruby replied.

"And we'll keep it that way," Bill said.

"What are your names?"

"Well, that's Adara, Bask, and Emily."

"Give me my Pixie," Emily shouted, attempting to steal her candy back, but failing.

"Oh god, another one," Legion said.

"What?"

"Let's just say, here at Beacon, we have a hyper active girl who is addicted to something."

"And that is…"

"Pancakes."

"Oh, ok." Then, Adara went up to Bill and kept staring at his face.

"Um…do you need something," he asked.

"You know, those scars on your face make you look hot," she said.

"Oh great, and another one of her," Bill said, pointing to Yang.

"It was one time," Yang protested.

"I still haven't forgiven you."

Then Jayde said "Wait, if there's two Bs, then where's the other one?"

"Oh, Blake…we don't know where she is," Ruby replied.

"Well, she's probably in our dorm," Weiss stated.

"Oh yeah…well, I hope we see each other again." As they left, Jayde felt someone go into his pocket. He turned around to see Emily already eating the Pixie Stick.

"Emily, stop eating candy!"

Back at the dorm, Blake was on her bed, remembering the fight at the docks. She didn't understand why the White Fang could work with a human, especially someone like Roman Torchwick. She was also worried by the talk she had with Professor Ozpin.

"Well, this has certainly been an eventful evening."

"Hmph." Everyone at the fight was taken to Beacon and were being interrogated. She looked up to see Ozpin enter the room, his mug in his hand.

"I'm sure that after a night of thwarting attempted robbery, you probably just want to go home and take a nap. But, I was hoping that maybe we could have a chance to talk," Ozpin said.

Blake then said "Of course."

"Wonderful. As you know, in order to enroll at my academy, students must first pass a rigorous entrance exam. Most applicants spend years of preparation training at one of the many combat schools around the world. You are one of the few that did not. And you passed the exam with flying colors."

"I was raised outside the kingdoms. If you can't fight, you can't survive."

"Well, you have most certainly survived, Blake. I admire your drive. And I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life. Rich, poor, human..." He then began to drink his coffee, saying one thing that made Blake glare at the headmaster. "Faunus...

"Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are," Ozpin asked.

"You may be willing to accept the Faunus, Professor Ozpin, but your species is not," Blake angrily replied.

"True, but we are continuing to take strides to lessen the divide."

"With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides. Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am."

"And what are you?"

"I don't understand what you're asking."

"How did you know the White Fang would be at the shipyard tonight?"

"I didn't. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time."

"You wouldn't have been the first. But what happened tonight was not an isolated incident. I may be your headmaster, but I am also a Huntsman, and it is my sworn duty to protect this world from the forces that conspire against it. Blake, are you sure there is nothing else you would like to tell me?"

"I'm sure."

"Very well. Thank you for your time, Ms. Belladonna." As he got up and left room, he looked back and said "If you ever need to talk to me. Please, don't hesitate to ask.

As Blake was laying on her bed, she saw her team enter the room, in the middle of an conversation.

"Ugh, we should have never let him play," Yang angrily said.

Her sister then said "You're just mad cuz' the new guy beat you! See, if you had just attacked when I told you none of this would have happened."

"Like I said, loose with your dignity," Bill replied. As they were talking, Blake was about to exit the room, when she was interrupted by a certain heiress.

"Stop. Lately you've been quiet, antisocial and moody," Weiss said.

"Uh, have you met Blake," Yang replied.

"Which I get is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong!" She then flew up into the air, landed on a chair and started to balance on a chair while saying "So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?" As she did this, the rest of the team looked at her, amazed by the action. Weiss quickly put the chair away, and went back to Blake. Blake then began to speak

"I just, I don't understand how everyone can be so calm."

"You're still thinking about Torchwick," Ruby asked.

"Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!"

"Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the Huntsmen, I'm sure they can handle it."

"Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do!"

"That is true," Bill replied.

Weiss then said "Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think that you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells!"

"Uh, who," Ruby said, confused.

"But let me once again be the voice of reason. We're students! We're not ready to handle this sort of situation!"

"Well yeah, but…"

"We're not ready!"

"And we may never be ready," Blake shouted. "Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it'scoming! Whether we're ready or not!"

As she finished, Ruby began to say "Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale... say aye."

"Yes! I love it when you're feisty," Yang said.

"Well, I suppose it could be fun," Weiss replied.

"We're in," Bill and Legion said.

"None of you said aye," Ruby sadly said.

Then Blake said "Alright then, we're in this together!"

"Let's hatch a plan," Ruby said.

"Yeah!"

Ruby then gasped and said "I left my board game at the library!"

Weiss face palmed and said "We're doomed."

As she ran out the door, she yelled "I'll be right back!"

Before she could go any further, she bumped into a group of people. She looked up to see two people, a girl with green hair, and a boy with grey hair.

"Sorry. Are you okay," Ruby asked, as the green haired girl offered her hand.

"I'm fine," she said.

"Just watch where you're going."

"Oh, right, sorry. Um, I'm Ruby! Are you new?"

"Visiting from Haven, actually." The two both moved to reveal another student, a girl with black hair and amber eyes.

Ruby and her started to stare at each other, as Ruby said "Ooh! You're here for the festival! But exchange students have their own dormitory."

"I guess we just got turned around," the grey haired boy said.

"Hey, don't worry, it happens all the time. Uh, your building is just east of here."

As they began to walk past her, the black haired girl said "Thanks. Maybe we'll see you around."

"Yeah, maybe! Oh, uh, and welcome to Beacon!" What Ruby didn't see was the girl grin evilly, her eyes glowing.

'This is too easy.'

Hey guys, sorry it took a while for this to be released. Before I say why it took so long, Team JABE are not my OC's, but a friends. Now, it took me so long because…I forgot what they looked like. I would have contacted my friend, but they were busy during spring break. So, the real question is, how will the plot change with the new characters, or will it stay the same…mostly. Please Review.
