"Wow!" A student shouted as she looked out the window of the large airship. "I can see all of Vale from up here!"
"Tori, you seem to be getting a bit too excited..."
The bubbly brunette turned towards Russet patting him on the head. "Come on, Russ! This is what we've worked for the last three years! We made it into the best school in the kingdom." Russet twirled his finger in deadpan happiness. "Not just us! I saw Aryn here too! She was pretty good but-"
"That reminds me." Russet said. "That Hyena Faunus you used to beat on is here too."
"Chuckles is here, too!?" Tori said with glee. "Who else is here!?"
"Well, This year also has the most students getting in on skill alone." Russet pointed at a group of student standing in the middle of the ship.
"The Atlus Triad, or at least that's what the other students have taken to calling them. As you can probably guess all three are of Atlas with some rather impressive pedigrees. The smaller girl is Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company."
"Oh?" Tori rose an eyebrow. "Wonder if she'll give me a discount on dust. The other two?"
"The shorter guy is Ignis Wisp. His grandfather invented the dust imbued round many of us use today. Needless to say, he probably lives quite an easy life."
"Wonder why he's come to Beacon, then. So what about the robot?"
Russet turned his eyes to the third person a tall man covered head to toe in heavy armor. "I believe his name is Harper Black. He's the son of some big shot blacksmiths or something."
"That's all you got?" Tori asked, twitching her eyebrow irritability.
"What do you want, a report? I'm a hunter in training, not an info broker."

"Ahoy, Captain!" A young man with long brown hair looked up to find himself greeted by Tyler the lion Faunus.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm Tyler! What's your name?"
The young man blinked before standing up, extending his hand. "Delmar Dakkar."
"You're a Dakkar?!" Tyler exclaimed taking his hand tightly. "Aw, man! That's awesome! You're the son of the famous explorer's right!"
Delmar winced slightly at the mention of his parents. "Yup... That's uh... That's right."
"Sweet! This year has so many cool people here! I've been running around trying to meet them but more than a few of them didn't like me."
"I wonder why..." Delmar muttered.
"Before I came to you, I was talking to Hood over there." Ty pointed over a student looking out the window by himself. "I think his name is Latte or Chino or something like that."
"Tyler." Delmar said, pushing his way into the one sided conversation. "It's been really nice to meet you but tI have to... Uh... Use the restroom."
"Ah, not a problem."
A girl walked past them, a dark hood over her face and Tyler immediately set off to follow her.

"Ruby!" The young girl in red was enveloped in a tight hug by her bubble blond sister, her back cracking as Yang lifted her in the air.
"Please… Stop…" Ruby weezed.
"I'm just so excited we'll be going to the same school together! Everyone's gonna think you are the bee's knees!"
"I don't want to be the bee's knees!" Ruby whined looking down at the ground. "I don't want to be any kind knees. I just want to be a normal girl, with normal knees."
"Ha!" The girls looked over and saw Achat laughing.
"Um… Are you eavesdropping on us?" Yang asked, taking a step back from the hyena Faunus.
Achat looked up in thought before nodding. "Yes." He took three large steps towards them, immediately bringing his face a hairs distance from Ruby's. "If you didn't want to be special, why come to a combat school?"
Ruby sputtered over her words, her nerves shot from the sudden close proximity of this stranger. She somewhat recognized him from Signal, but they never had spoken a word to one another before now. Before she could respond, Yang grabbed Achat by his face and pushed him away from her sister. "Easy there. Achat, right? You shouldn't put your nose in other people's business, especially when it's got nothing to do with you."
"But this is more fun!" Achat whined. "I was talking to someone else by they got pulled away by someone else…"
"Forgive the idiot." Everyone turned their head to look at Aryn whose constant scowl seemed to deepen upon eye contact. "He's a social retard."
"It's so nice that you care!" Achat said as he skipped towards her to poke her, only for her hand to snap up and bend the finger back. "Ah! Uncle! Uncle!" Achat stuck his tongue out at her when she released him, before turning to the others. "It was nice to see you again, Yang. Rose."
They blinked as Achat spun on his heel and lept over Aryn, smacking the back of her head as he ran to hide in the crowd of students. "I hate that guy…" Aryn growled as she stormed off after him, intent to cause bodily harm.
"Well…" Yang chuckled, elbowing Ruby. "That was different huh?"
"Yeah…"

"Huh?" Kris tilted his head as he squinted at the small laptop in front of him. This was odd. "What made one of my drones-"
As if to answer his question, he found himself catching the broken camera drone when it was suddenly thrown. Looking up, he found himself staring up at a tall armor clad student laughing at him.
"So sorry! Did I break one of your toys freak."
Kris silently glared at him as the student strided forward pinching his fingers on Kris' cat ears. "Geez, they really are real! What a freak! Sky! Dove! Check this out!"
Two more armor clad warriors joined him and began to laugh at Kris, who found himself slowly reaching for his weapon.
Their laughter was suddenly cut short when a pale hand clasped Dove's shoulders. The turned and were greeted by two large red eyes belonging to a figure in a black hoodie. "I think you should leave him alone…" He whispered to them chillingly.
"C-Cardin!? This guy's freaking me out!"
Unimpressed, Cardin sneered at the student before jerking his head. "Forget it. Let's just leave these lamers alone. We got better things to do!"
As the three stormed off, the red eyed student turned to Kris. "Sorry that you had to deal with that kind of abuse. I'm… Chai."
Kris scowled at Chai. "I didn't ask for your help." Kris gathered up his things before pausing to glance at Chai. "I'm Kris. You should gather up your things we'll be landing in almost ten minutes."
Not waiting for a response, Kris leave Chai standing alone as Kris pulled out his scroll. Having collected a decent bit of data on the other students, Kris pressed the send button next to the data and for a split second, the image of a wolf's silhouette with three claw marks going diagonal flashed on his screen.
... Wow. I think I'm losing interest in this fic. Compared to Mercury no Basket and Deployng! I think I'm bored when I right this. At the very least I'll keep writing until they pair into teams. If you like it leave a review!
