Chapter 2
The Shining Beacon Pt. 1
An airship docks at Beacon a blond boy runs of and makes a beeline to a trash can. Once he reaches it he barfs into the can.
Ruby, and yang step of the airship first then Jason and Niko walk of a few minutes after carrying their carry-on luggage.
"Well looks like those two are excited." Niko comments,
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ruby just dragged her off. Come on lets catch up!" Jason replies.
As they run toward Ruby and Yang they can't help but gawk at the site at Beacon.
"Dang, and I though Master Evin's temple was huge, but this makes it look like a house!" Niko exclaims.
"Whoa!" Jason said in an awed voice.
Then they hear a squeal from up front and see Ruby in her "chibi mode" gawking at different weapons "Oooo that boy has a collapsible staff!" she squeals then gasp as another kid passes by "And she's got a fire sword!" Yang grabs Ruby by the hood and says something that they can't hear.
"Obsessed with weapons. Why not." Niko says
Jason scoffs, "Yeah, you should have seen her when we first met. She would stop talking for over an hour."
"Hah, well I'll find us a spot in the auditorium, meet you there!" Niko says as he runs of to find them a spot.
Jason shakes his head as he watched Niko catch up to Yang then start flirting with her, Heh lady killer.
"Better go help out or she's going to get in trouble" Jason thinks aloud as he walks to Ruby. Just as he says that Ruby falls down into a stack off boxes, knocking them over. This caused a girl in a white dress and jacket walk up to Ruby. She has skin so pale that it was almost white, she had long white hair tied into a ponytail. She starts yelling at Ruby about how she could have caused extreme damage to the things inside. As Jason looks on he starts to walk towards them to help Ruby out.
The white girl pulls out a bottle of Dust and says things while shaking it causing the loose cap to create giant clouds of Dust in front of her and Ruby.
Jason starts running towards them remembering that Ruby is allergic of dust. She then sneezes causing an explosion and creating a crater in the ground.
Jason internally sighs, 'Day one and she's already caused collateral damage, yikes.'
As he gets closer he hears the girl shout at Ruby, "Unbelievable, this exactly the think I was talking about!" the girl yells.
"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby says.
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here aren't you a little too young to be attending Beacon?" the girls yells again.
This time Jason is just a few feet away and he gets slightly ticked off when he hears this.
"Well…I…" Ruby tries to explain but is cut off by the girl making Jason madder.
"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparing and practice you know. We're here to fight monsters. So watch where you're going!" The girl says arms crossed looking all high and mighty which pisses Jason of even more.
'Who the hell does this girl think she is.' He steps up and says "Hey she said she was sorry princess!" while glaring at her.
"It's heiress actually." a voice said from beside them. They turn to see turn to see a girl in a black jacket and pants walk up to them. she had medium length, straight black hair. She wore black sneakers her eyes were onyx black.
"Weiss Schnee heiress of the Schnee dust company. One of the largest energy propellant in the world." says the girl. "Huh, explains why your such a douche bag." Jason says earning a glare from Weiss and an amused glance from the newcomer.
She turns back to the girl, "Finally some recognition!" she says in exasperation. Then another darkly dressed girl who has a bit more white and a bow in her hair walk up while saying,
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces." she says.
Then the girl in black adds, "And don't forget the questionable business partners." Getting a snicker from Ruby and Jason and a smile from the girl with the bow, while earning a glare from Weiss.
"Wha-how dare—!" she says clearly mad the, "the nerve of-! Ugh!" she turns of here heels and walk away leaving he servants to help her clean up the mess.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby shouts after the girl.
"Hey don't bother kid, she was a jerk, no need to make things up to a jerk." Jason says.
Ruby looks down sadly "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day."
"Hey cheer up Rubes it's you first day don't make such a big deal out of it." Jason says .
He turns to thank the other two girls but sees that they are walking away. Ruby notices too and slumps to the floor, "Welcome to Beacon." she says gloomily.
Jason helps her up just as a blond kid runs over to see then.
"She okay?" he asks
"Yeah she's fine just had a rough first day." Jason says.
"Oh… Hi I'm Jaune." the boy said.
"Nice to meet you I'm Jason." Jason said.
"Hi I'm Ruby" she says. Then she giggles and asks, " Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?" earning a laugh from Jason who also recognized the boy.
A few minutes later
"All I'm saying is motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune explains to Jason and Ruby who are still trying to hold in laughs.
"Look I'm sorry Vomit Boy was the first thing that came in mind." Ruby says
"Oh yeah well what if I called you crater face" Jaune said earning a laugh from Jason.
"Hey, that explosion was an accident!" ruby exclaims face red.
"Well, the names Jaune Arc, short sweet rolls of the tongue. Ladies love it." Jaune says.
Jason snickers and asks "Do they?".
"They will! At least I hope they will. My mother always said that… never mind." Jaune says and looks away.
Jason laughs at this then they all walk in a awkward silence for a few moments until Ruby decided to break it.
"Sooo… I've got this!" she says as she activates her scythe.
"Woah! Is that a scythe?" Jaune says looking alarmed.
"What do you think genius?" Jason says sarcastically.
"It's also a customizable, high impact sniper rifle." Ruby explains.
"Uh… what?" Jaune says confused as to what just came out of Ruby's mouth.
"It's also a gun" Jason explains.
"Oh. That's cool.!" Jaune exclaims.
"Yeah. Though she's not the only one with the flashy weapons." Jason says as he raises his left arm. It has a magnetic bracer for his shield. It glows then the shield on his back slides and clamps onto the bracer in the blink on an eye. "I got a magnetic bracer for my shield so I can easily access it and so I can retrieve my shield if it gets knocked away and…" he unclamps his three feet long sword from his back, clicks a button on it and causing it to shift into an assault rifle. "I also have Argos here. He's a compact sword assault rifle."
"Whoa" Jaune says in awe.
Jason puts away his weapons, he turns his to Jaune, "So what do you have?"
"Oh! Uh… I got this sword!" Jaune says pulling out his sword.
Jason noticed that the way he held it looked like he had never used a sword before but he ignored this.
"Ooooooooohhhh…" Ruby said
"Nice" Jason said, "Can I inspect it?"
"Uh… sure?" Jaune said handing him his sword.
Jason studied the sword, it was straight and well cared for though it was slightly dull.
"Not bad though it is dull." Jason said
"Oh should probably take care of that." Jaune said giving an embarrassed chuckle, "I also got this shield.'
"What can they do?" Ruby asked as she poked at the shield causing it to retract and expand rapidly, which caused Jaune to lose his grip on the shield. After some fumbling he finally manages to grab it.
"Well… the shield gets smaller.. so when I get tired of carrying it I can just… put it away." Jaune explained.
"But won't that weigh the same?" Jason asked.
"Yeah." Jaune said sadly.
"Well I was kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I kind of went overboard designing my weapon." Ruby said.
"Wait, you guys made that?" Jaune asked with a surprised look.
"Of course, all Huntsmen and Huntresses forge their weapons. Didn't you make yours?" Jason said.
"It was a hand-me down. My great-great grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune says sadly while looking down.
"…sounds more like a family heirloom to me! Well I like it not many people appreciate the classics these day." Ruby says.
"Yeah, the classics," Juane says as he puts away his sword.
"So why did you greet us in the courtyard?" Jason askes
"Ehh… why not? My mom always said 'strangers are just friends you haven't met yet'." Jaune answered.
"Hmmm…Hey, where are we going?"
"Oh I don't know. I was just following you guys." Jaune said as they stop and look around, "You think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court? Some recognizable land mark?"
Jason and Ruby both chuckle.
"Is that a 'no'." Jaune asked
"That's a no." answered Jason.
