The loud roar of the engines was nothing more than a soft hum to the occupants of the Schnee dust company personal bullhead. It was as big as a regular public transport bullhead but was far more luxurious with comfortable seating, lavish master bedrooms, and housing for the personal servants and five-star chefs. This mansion in the sky was perfect for the upper class when traveling for days on end.
Weiss sips daintily from a fine Vacuovian tea cup filled with the rarest and most expensive of tea brews money could buy while looking at the beautiful morning sky as her personal air craft flies over the forever fall forest to her new school. She places the tea cup down and a male servant holding a tea kettle quickly fills her glass.
The heiress asks the butler, "How much longer until we reach Beacon?" Eager to get to the finest combat institute on Remnant.
"We should be arriving at the air docks in just under two hours Miss. Schnee." Was her waiters reply.
"Thank you." She replies while picking her tea, "That will be all for now." She orders for the servant to leave.
He replies with a bow and starts to walk away as Weiss brings the pristine cup to her lips until the ship rattled and rolled from a sudden impact. The heiress spills the hot tea on her dress and the butler quickly coms by with a cloth napkin and pats the spot where the tea landed.
She pushes the man away before hitting the talk button on a speaker next to her that allows her to talk to the captain. "What was that!?" She demands furiously.
"Apologies Miss. Schnee, but it appears we have a stowaway on board making a ruckus in the rear cargo hold." Was the man's reply.
"How did someone get aboard this ship?" She asks. Her family ships were always searched top to bottom for any possible trespassers before launch, so how did he get in.
Two guards run past her toward the rear elevator, "He just came through some portal, probably from a semblance." The captain answers back, repeating what he saw on security footage.
Weiss stand up and draws her rapier, Myrtenaster, and follows the two guards. The butler stops her by asking, "Where are you going?" concerned for her employers' daughter.
"I'm going to find the stowaway stupid enough to trespass on my family's air ship. Besides, I can use the practice." Was her reply before resuming her chase.
In the cargo hold, the large form of the recently transformed Behemoth sits up while rubbing the pain from his head. He stops after feeling his new hair and begins inspecting his new body with his orange eyes. Looking around, he finds himself in a large grey metal room with rows and shelves of crates and boxes of different sizes. He uses one of the shelves to his right to get on his two feet and balance himself but slips and knocks down one of the white suitcases, opening it from the impact. He looks at the contents and finds ten small vials with a snowflake symbol on them and different colored powdered crystals inside. He sits back down in front of the case and takes the red vial. He pulls out the loose cork and sniffs the contents before taking a pinch of the dust and tasting it.
His eyes widen from the explosion of cherry flavor in his mouth. He downs the contents as if it was a pixie stick, quickly emptying it before tossing it over his head and doing the same to two more vials at the same time. Each color was a different delicious flavor for him to enjoy, and soon, the entire case was finished in under a minute.
He takes another case and wrenches it open expecting more dust crystals, but disappointingly got one full of Weiss's clothes. He searches through the fine fabrics hoping to find more dust when he comes across a pair of small white panties. He inspects it and stretches it with both hands before letting go in one, slinging it towards the elevator, and resuming his search.
The doors open in time for Weiss to get hit by her own underwear right in the face. The underwear slides off the now red angry and embarrassed face of the Schnee heiress, as the monster goes to open another one of her suitcases.
"What are you doing!?" She screams as she and the guards march forward to the intruder as he spills the contents of the case before throwing it behind him. He doesn't respond making Weiss shout even louder, "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?"
This got the faunus's attention. He stops rummaging through the pile of clothes and looks over his shoulder and sees the three humans pointing weapons at him. He narrows his eyes, knowing that this is going to end in a fight.
The heiress also steels her eyes at the monsters until they wandered to her family logo on his shoulder. The memory of the dream comes back to her as one of the guard's yell, "Hands in the air and don't try any funny business."
The beasts only reply was a roar that confirmed Weiss's suspicion. The same man senses the hostility and yells, "Open fire!" Weiss wanted to tell them to not shoot but the guards were quicker and unloaded their rifles at the Behemoth. The monster turns himself around and lets the bullets ricochet off his rocky back, causing one to hit the button that lowers the cargo ramp. The inside of the hold quickly decompresses, and a strong gust of wind drags the four of them and any loose crates and suitcases closer to the open air. One of the guards managed to grab ahold onto one of the poles supporting the shelves while Weiss stabbed her weapon into the floor while grabbing the other one. Unfortunately for the Behemoth, he was unable to dig his hands into the floor and fell out of the ship.
The captain pushes a button on his end of the ship and closes the ramp, stopping anyone or anything else from flying out. The three in the hold catch their breath after that life-threatening experience has come to pass with Weiss wondering what was going on right now.
A damaged beowolf alpha was limping through the forest after finally evading the relentless Goliath that wanted him dead. Luckily, another group of grimm ambushed him, allowing him to escape. The ruthless faunus had managed to snap off all of its bone spikes, most of its bone plates were cracked and chipped beyond belief, broken one of its hind legs, clawed the absolute shit out of him, and on top of it all ripped his face plate clean off with him still alive. It was carefully planning how to get its revenge on the monster as it painfully walked along when it heard a whistling sound overhead. It looks up and gets absolutely crushed under the force of the impact as the Behemoth lands right on top of him.
The man uncurls from ball form and crawls his way out of the crater he had made while shaking the black ick off of him like a dog. He looks up and sees the air ship flying away. He wonders how he got all the way up their before thinking if he should follow it. The possibility that their may be more of those tasty crystals on it made his stubby tail shakes side to side in delight before going back into ball form and rolling in the bullhead's direction. Any grimm unfortunate enough to get in his way were knocked down like pins in a bowling alley.
Pages flipping from a book was the loudest noise in the dead silent airship. Blake had managed to cut all ties with the fang and lied her way into Beacon and was now reading one of her books to pass the time in the air bus.
The main cabin speaker cracked to life as the voice of the captain filled the quiet room, "Good evening everybody, this is your captain speaking. I would like to inform you all that we will be arriving to the academy in just over an hour as long as the skies remain clear and no grimm attack the ship. And a reminder to please take all of your belongings with you as we are not responsible for any lost luggage or items of value. Thank you for flying Vale Airways and we would like to wish you luck on your initiations."
The voice dies, and the occupants go back to their own business. Blakes concealed cat ears perk up a bit as they pick up a soft thud somewhere right above her. She looks up at the ceiling in curiosity but shrugs her shoulders and goes back to her book. Then the ship starts to rapidly slow down to halt, surprising the passengers.
The speaker comes to life once more, "Sorry about the sudden delay, but apparently someone managed to teleport himself on top of the ship. We've slowed down to stop the kid from falling off, so he can be safely retrieved and brought inside. Unfortunately, all hands are currently occupied with other important tasks, so if one of you could please retrieve the poor lad, that would be greatly appreciated."
The voice dies again and the occupants look to one another to see who was crazy enough to go out their and get the guy. After a moment the secret faunus sighs and put her book away before heading to the back where the ladder to the roof exit was. She climbs the metal ladder, twists the handle to open the latch and pushes it open. Blake had to fight against the strong winds from the high altitude as it flooded into the ship. She pokes her head out to see a head of black hair with blue tips and two tentacles with the same color scheme right in front of the emergency exit. The owner of the hair lifts his head showing his squinting royal blue eyes to the faunus. The wind hits the side of his face to show his unique tattoo on his forehead, making Blake go wide eye as she recalls the strange dream.
She tilts her head to inspect the rest of him and notices that he's stark naked. Blushing a bit, she holds a finger and says, "Wait here." Before sliding down the ladder, letting the faunus inspect his new form. She reaches the floor and one of the occupants, a male teen, asks, "Where is he?"
"He's still up there… but he's naked." Was her reply.
Other people started to ask questions. "Why is he naked?" "How did he get up there?" "Hey, how big is his dick?" The other occupants stare at the woman who asks that last question in a mixture of confusion and some disgust.
Blake gets everyone's attention again, "Look! Does anyone have any clothing they can spare so he can come down here?"
A big man replies, "Luckily for him I grabbed some of my older brothers clothing by mistake. It might be to big for him though. How big is he?"
Blake was about to answer but the Kraken jumps down the hatch and lands in a crouched position before standing up to his full six-foot six height. Blake gets in front of him to hide his man hood as the occupant's gasp as a naked man was now flashing them.
"What are you doing!?" She yells in shock, "You can't just walk around naked in front of people." She points a finger at the other occupants while giving a quick glance as she said this, "That's-" She stops and looks back at the strange sight she glanced at before. About a quarter of the people in the ship are clinging onto the far wall looking scared, as if the devil himself was right in front of them. And upon closer inspection, she sees that they were all faunus.
The humans started to mumble questions like, "Why are they doing that?" or "Why do they look so scared?"
Blake pops the question, "Why are you guys over there for?" as the monster behind her side steps a bit and leans in while heavily squinting.
A deer faunus answers with a shaky voice, "I-I d-don't know. But every b-bone in b-body is telling me to stay the f-fuck away from that guy." She points a finger to the kraken who had now moved to her side, still leaning and squinting.
The cat faunus looks at the other peoples reactions and finds another odd sight. All of the girls were blushing like crazy while some of them were taking pictures. Meanwhile all of the men were looking extremely jealous. And all eyes were on the faunus behind her.
'What are they staring at?' Blake wonders before following their gazes. She peeks over to her side to the Kraken and looks down before blushing like crazy herself. 'Oh. My. Oum. It's huge!' She mentally screams as she finds the source.
The entire ship then rocks to the left, making everyone tumble over. Blake manages to catch herself on the monster who remained upright. She blushes again before removing herself from him. She ignores the angry glares from all of the girls when the speaker sounded again. "WE GOT NEVERMORE!" the pilot yelled. Outside the window was a flock of medium sized nevermore following a large one. The amount of fear the faunus were feeling had attracted the grimm like a moth to a bonfire.
Razor sharp feathers pelt the air ship, with some sticking into the hull while most merely scratched it. The ship had no guns of its own, so the captain asks, "If any of you have any kind of ranged weapons, now would be a good time for some target practice."
Any non-melee focused huntsmen started to cock their weapons or shift them into gun mode while the Kraken went back to the ladder and jumped to the roof with the aid of his flying ability.
The monster hovered to the middle of the ship and started to throw balls of lightning into the flock as he tries his best to dodge the razor sharp feathers. One by one the ranged huntsmen climbed onto the roof and join the monster in the fight and the smaller nevermore start falling like ducks during hunting season. Due to the strong winds, the soon to be huntsmen decided it would be best to quit the fancy moves and stay put on the ship so they don't get blown off.
A good chunk of the flock had been dealt with when the ship started to tilt to one side. The captain yells, "The bastards are attacking the engines!" as he and the crew try all they can to keep the ship in the air. Some of the huntsmen, including the Kraken, look to the ships back and see that the larger nevermore were tearing apart the bullhead's engines. Those that took a look then unloaded on the demonic birds with everything they have. After a dozen shots missed, they realized that the wind was throwing their aim off course far before they even get half way to their intended targets. A certain monsters lightning balls were making it through, being made of energy and therefore unaffected by wind, but were missing the birds by a mile.
The Kraken growls before deeply inhaling and letting out a vortex, only for that to miss its target. One future huntsman with a large shotgun that was near him got mad and shouted, "Do something useful you stupid faunus."
Blake had to hold the urge to round house kick the jerk in the face for that. She looks at the monster to see his reaction to it. To her surprise, as well as any one else who was looking at the time, his eyes were now glowing blue. He spreads his arms out as his tentacles were raised to the sky and crackled with lightning. Dark storm clouds start forming as the rumble of thunder drowned out the engines. Blue lightning arcs between the clouds as the sky becomes black around them. The wind picks up as the whirring sound of building electricity got louder and louder. Blake wanted to cover her sensitive cat ears as the collection of deafening noises threatened to make her ear drums bleed.
Back on Sheer, the Krakens were never able to unlock their full power. Being on the ground and having a limited flying ability, they were very far away the source of their power. But anybody who had seen a Kraken up at a high altitude would tell you the same thing. In the sky, the Kraken is king.
Throwing his head backwards, he unleashes a bellowing roar, releasing the lightning and lighting up the sky with the power of a hundred lightning bolts. Each nevermore got their own personal bolt before spazzing uncontrollably and falling out of the sky. The sky round them quickly went back to normal and he lowered his arms and tentacles.
The crowd was awestruck. If their jaws could actually hit the floor, they would be on the floor. Especially the idiot that bad mouthed him in the first place. Speaking of, the monstrous faunus snaps his head to the man and snarls at him. The kid jumps slightly in fear when they locked eyes, the monsters show of raw power having an effect on him like the faunus still in the cabin.
The Kraken shift his gaze to Blake who takes a step back in slight surprise. The tall man walks up to his protectee with squinting eyes and begins smelling her, much to Blake's confusion.
He was confused. This human smelled like any other human, but there was something else mixed in. Another scent, one he would find with the small mammals that they would find around human shelters. This made the monster confused, and his natural curiosity wanted him to find out more. So, he decides he would follow this human and find out what's so special about her. His instincts were telling him to protect her anyway, and maybe she can help fix his eye sight, finding it hard to see things far away with the lack of an additional pair of eyes.
Blake, trying her hardest not to look down at the Krakens member, asks in a slightly shaky voice, "C-can we please get some clothes on you now?"
Weiss was angry, no, furious at what had transpired nearly two hours before, but also confused. Here she stands in front of the most pristine huntsmen academy on Remnant robbed of most of the dust and clothing she had packed away by a faunus who uncannily resembles a certain monster from a certain dream she recently had the displeasure of experiencing. He even had the same tattoo with the exact same face of the monster she touched. She wanted to go with her paranoid side and say that what she had was not a dream, but her logical side pushed that part of her aside saying that it just some weird coincidence, no matter how accurate that tattoo was. But that roar, that inhumane, monstrous roar both sounded and felt too much like the monsters at the end of the dream. The debate in her head would have continued if the sound of someone knocking over her brief cases didn't flung her back into reality.
The heiress sighs a quiet, "This day's just going to get worse isn't it." Before turning to scold the person that messed with her stuff. She freezes at the familiar sight of the red reaper herself as the paranoid side in her head jumps for joy.
Weiss gasps a, "It's you." As Ruby takes notice of the soon to be titled ice queen.
A smile spreads across the reapers face, "Weiss!?" The heiress soon found herself in a bone crushing hug, "It's so good to see you again."
Weiss's servants take away her bags, thinking she is meeting with an old friend or pen pal, leaving the two to talk alone. They just got out of earshot when Weiss wheezes out a, "Let go of me you dolt."
Ruby let's go, allowing Weiss to breath again. The young scythe wielder chuckles nervously, "Sorry about that. It's just so good to see a familiar face here."
Weiss finally gets her breath back before speaking, "Speaking of here. Why are you here? Aren't you a bit young to be at Beacon?"
"Well, yes. But Professor Ozpin said I can attend two years early after I stopped that dust store robbery." Was her response.
The ice queen cocks an eyebrow, "You? You stopped a dust robbery all by yourself?"
"Weeeell, at first it was just me, then professor Goodwitch and the monster came when-." "Did you say monster!?" Weiss interrupts with a look of shock.
Ruby replies excitedly with sparkles in her eyes, "I know, it was so cool. She was a faunus with these two large scythe arm things, and-and she could teleport and EXPLODE! Then she faded into nothing after the fight. It. Was. Awesome!"
"Sooo, that dream. Wasn't, just a dream?" The heiress asks as the paranoid side of her was praying to be right for once.
"No, it wasn't. Yang told me she had the same exact dream."
"Yang?" Weiss started, "Was that the blonde girl that was with us?"
"Yeah she's my sister."
"You two don't look like sisters." Ice queen comments, failing to see the resemblance from memory.
"Were half-sisters, same dad different moms." Weiss mad an 'o' with her mouth before Ruby followed up with, "Hey, do you think we'll find Blake here too?" as she begins to look around for the faunus.
A vein pops out on the Schnee's fore head as she grinds her teeth in frustration as the hatred for that specific cat quickly re-emerges. "Oh, hey, there she is." Weiss's head snaps in the direction of Ruby's finger. Facing away from them was Blake with her ears hidden by a black bow and was talking to a tall teen who resembled a certain fishy monster they encountered.
The man was now wearing a navy-blue sweatshirt that looks like it just barely fits him and a pair of grey baggy sweatpants that ends just above his ankles. Unfortunately for him, the man who gave him the clothes didn't have an extra pair of shoes, so the monster was barefoot.
But Weiss didn't seem to acknowledge the monster as her eyes were glued to her intended target and blurred everything else out. She proceeds to stop over to them and shouts. "YOU!" Blake turns around and becomes more worried than angry. She was worried that Weiss might blow her cover or someone will overhear and tell others that she's really a faunus.
Weiss continues her rant, "You have some nerve coming here!" She reached for her rapier but a red blur crashing into her from behind stopped the action.
"Pleasedon'tstartfightingagain!Please!" The reaper said in a rush. Weiss turns around, "And what are you going to do about-" but was cut short when she laid eyes on them. The definition of cuteness, the pools of pure silver that would grind all hostility to a halt except for the soulless creatures of grimm, Ruby's ultimate weapon, her puppy dog eyes. The ice surrounding Weiss's heart begins to melt as she gazes into her eyes, "Seriously? Puppy dog eyes? How old are you again?" Ruby didn't respond and starts quivering her lips. The ice then cracks, "B-but, she insulted my family." A single tear builds up in the child's left eyes before letting out a small, "Please." The ice queens' heart had finally melted and was now a pile of slush, "Oh, of course I won't you cute little thing." She squeals as she gives the puppy in disguise a bone crushing hug of her own.
Ruby wheezes, "Weiss, can't breathe." while Blake chuckles softly. The Kraken merely tilts his head in confusion at the white and red blurs in front of him. Then he caught wind of a familiar scent. It was human, but it was mixed with something he recognizes.
"Sister?" He calls in his native tongue.
Weiss finally lets Ruby breath again before asking, "What did he just say?" Ruby stands back up when she felt pressure on her shoulder. She turns her head just in time as the Wraith turns visible again, scaring her and making her jump right into Weiss's arms. The ghostly monster, now wearing a purple tank top, white sweat shorts and purple sneakers, hovered to her brother who proceeded to hug her.
Ruby coos, "Aw, that's so sweet." While still in the heiress's arms before her heart froze over again and dropped the red reaper on the ground. Ruby rubs her behind as she gets back up and asks, "But what are you doing here?"
The Wraith lets go of her brother and hands a folded piece of paper from her pocket to her. Ruby opens the note and reads it out loud, "Dear Miss. Rose, I had found your friend spying on our conversation last night and have invited her to attend Beacon with you."
"He finds an intruder and decides to allow her into his school?" Weiss asks, before Ruby continued.
"I know about the vision you had and would like to ask if you could gather the other three girls and monster you saw."
"He knows about the dream?" Blake asked in shock.
"After the ceremony, you eight will be escorted to my office by my assistant, Glynda Goodwitch, where I will answer any questions you have to the best of my abilities. Sincerely, Professor Ozpin."
As Ruby finished reading, the Wraith says, "Follow me." And warps towards the school. Her brother flies after her. Ruby shouts "Hey, wait up." As her and her soon to be teammates follow after them.
Aaaaand another chapter completed. Sorry it took a while, Emet's demon core took full control of his chaise and we had to fix him.
Flashback
"Now calm down Emet. We just want to take a look at you to see what happened." Jack said in a calm tone while holding a screwdriver.
The other hunters were behind him with weapons drawn incase he snaps and attacks Jack.
Emet shouts, "YOU KEEP THAT SCREWDRIVER AWAY FROM ME OR I'LL SHOVE IT SIDEWAYS RIGHT UP YOUR ASS!"
End Flashback
Then he jumped out of the ship and we had to go find him. Anyway, that's all for now. This is QuantumSpectrum, signing off.
