Chapter 2: Arriving at Beacon

The airship landed and opened the bay doors, releasing the students upon their new school. Victor towered over everyone and looked at the basic castle in front of him. He stopped for a moment and stared up at the massive school before him until he felt someone bumped into him. He looked down at the small (compared to him small) guy bumped into him. He was wearing a dark green shirt with black pants.

Victor noticed the assault rifle on his back and the grenade belt at his waist. The guy had black hair that curved at the front, almost like a wave you see at the beach. "Sorry about… holy shit, you're big!" The guy barked. Victor smirked beneath his mask and replied "Yes, and you are very small. Name's Victor, what about you?" The guy responded "Alexi Muratov. Nice to meet you Victor."

"Nice to meet you too Lex."

Alexi shot Victor a look that would have lit him on fire if it could, but all that happened what he started to feel weak. Victor took a step then immediately dropped to one knee, feeling weaker by the moment. "I'm going to tell you now Victor." Alexi stated. "Do not EVER call me that again. Understand?" Victor dropped to his palms and panted "Understood." Victor felt his strength return to him and he panted. "What was that?"

"My semblance, Power Flux." Alexi updated as he held out his hand to him. Victor got to his feet with Alexi's help and questioned "So you make people weak?"

"I basically focus on your strength, visualizing it as a flame. Then I put the fire out, in your case. Or I could feed it, making your semblance stronger."

Victor raised an eyebrow and replied "Really? Can you do it to just one person? Or spread it out?" Alexi answered "I can only do it to one person with good results. If I try to do it to multiple people, I can only weaken them to a small degree and only wear myself out in the process."

"I see. Well, my semblance is Power House as I call it. I can make myself strong… very strong."

Alexi chuckled "How strong can you get?" Victor answered "When I was nine, I tried to throw a refrigerator at my sister." Alexi raised his eyebrow and questioned "Why?"

"Because she took my pudding."

"She took your pudding?"

"I also have a… slight anger issue, but it helps my strength when I get angry."

Alexi widened his eyes for a moment and the two headed towards the school. Victor noticed a small altercation occurring between a girl in white and another girl wearing a red cloak. Victor recognized the girl in white immediately as Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. Victor's fist tightened and Alexi questioned "You alright man? You seem… tense."

"That's Weiss Schnee, and she's already acting like she owns the place."

Victor moved towards Weiss as she scolded the girl in red. He was close to them when the girl in red sneezed, causing an elemental explosion. Victor felt the heat from the fire dust and promptly ignored it. "This is exactly what I was talking about!" Weiss snapped. "I'm really, really sorry." The girl in red apologized.

"You complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"

Victor moved up to her and barked "Hey Schnee!" She turned and snapped "What on Remnant do you want?" Victor practically snarled "For you to shut your mouth, you stuck up princess." Weiss seemed taken back by the comment and responded "Why… how DARE you! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?" Victor lowered himself to her level (since he stood nearly three feet over her) and whispered "They guy who could take your head off with a single punch."

Weiss seemed like she was about to say something when a new voice exclaimed "Whoa, take it easy there, big guy! How about you bring it down a bit?" Victor straightened himself and saw a guy walking over to him about the size of Alexi and wearing a black trench coat that went down to the back of his knees. His hair was a dark brown and spiked, wearing a black shirt and dark blue jeans. Victor noticed the two revolvers on his hip, a large sword on his back and a pretty nasty scar diagonally cut on his face. "Get lost skinny." Victor exclaimed. "This doesn't concern you."

"Well, considering you're making a very public scene," the guy proclaimed, "I think it does. What's going on here? " Victor stepped up to the guy, standing over him, and repeated "I'll say it again. Get. Lost. You scrawny little punk." The punk looked up at Victor with a smug smile, which only pissed Victor off more. There was one thing Victor hated more than anything, and it was cockiness, and this guy was oozing it. "How about you make me." The punk exclaimed as he moved his arms out to give him a free shot.

Victor smiled behind his mask, happy to oblige with the punk's request. "Gladly." Victor proclaimed as he pulled his fist back. He was about to swing when he suddenly felt his strength give out on him, dropping him to his knees. "Easy there, big guy." Alexi exclaimed as he walked over to the quarreling duo. "No need to knock people's heads in." Victor groaned "Give me back my strength, Alexi."

"Promise that you won't beat this guy's head in." Alexi asked.

"Fine, I promise." Victor sighed in defeat.

Victor felt his strength come back and he brought himself to his feet. "I would prefer it if you didn't do that again." Victor grumbled as he stood up. "Then stop trying to hit people!" Alexi exclaimed. Victor shook his head to regain his vision, which blurred a moment ago. Alexi held out his hand and exclaimed "Sorry about Victor here. He can be a bit of a handful. My name is Alexi Muratov."

The punk shook his hand and replied "Heh, I can see that. Deveraux Mercer, but you can call me Dev." Victor spoke up and barked "Well Dev, stay out of my way or it will be the last mistake you make." He started walking off when Dev jumped into his way and questioned "Whoah, whoah! I'm sorry, what was that? I didn't quite catch that? You mind saying it again?" His voice got lower and lower as he got closer to Victor, trying to pry at his anger. Victor bent down to Dev's level and exclaimed "Get out of my way, or I will break your face." Victor noticed Dev create a blue aura and suggest "Then why don't you try breaking HIS face?" Dev's voice echoed as he spoke.

Victor stood up straight and stood face to face with a large blue knight. Victor smirked behind his mask and replied "Challenge accepted." Victor reared back to smash the blue knight's face when something hit him in the face. Not his face exactly, but something hit him in the nose, causing him to recoil and clutch his face in pain. Victor recovered from the hit, still holding his face, to see a girl standing in front of Deveraux with a large sword on her back. Dev was taken back a bit to see what came of the small confrontation already.

The girl stood as tall as Dev, but with long grey hair, but more notably, a pair of grey wolf ears and a grey wolf tail. Her shirt was, of course, grey and she wore jeans torn at the knees. The sword was a broad sword that was at least two feet across and nearly eight feet long, the tip nearly dragging on the floor. Her eyes were a dull green color and she had a smirk on her face. "Well well Victor." The girl sighed. "First day and you are already getting into fights that I always have to bail you out of."

Victor stood up straight and grumbled "I didn't need your help!" He yelled at her and sighed. "Hello… Selena." Victor saw her eyes flash red for a moment, then back to green as she snarled "Don't call me that."

"It is your name, isn't it?"

Dev interrupted "I'm sorry, but who are you?" Selena turned and smiled "Name's Selena Grey, but call me Grey. I'm Victor's sister… well, adopted sister. What's your name cutie?" She bent over a tad bit and smiled as she asked.

"Deveraux Mercer, but call me Dev." Dev grinned as he replied.

"Well it's nice to meet you too Dev." She said as she turned back to her brother.

Victor was going to say something when a girl in black walked over to them. She had long black hair and amber eyes with her face shoved into a book. "Having fun with your new friend Dev?" She questioned from behind her book. A scent filled Victor's nose that didn't belong anywhere; a feline scent, and it was coming from Blake. Victor's gaze shot over to Grey's, whose eyes were a fiery red.

Victor proclaimed "Well this has been fun. Let's go Grey." Victor started walking off and dragged Grey away by the back of her shirt.

Alexi watched the entire confrontation and grumbled "What a bunch of idiots." He turned back to the small group of people that had accumulated from the public disturbance. Dev walked over and exclaimed "What a piece that guy was… his sister was pretty cute though." Weiss rolled her eyes and walked away from the group in a huff. Once she was at a good distance, Dev commented "Tch, Well isn't she a peach?"

Ruby questioned "Who was she?" A British voice responded "She is Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." Alexi looked over to see the familiar face of Nigel Holland. "Hey Nigel." Dev and Alexi stated at the same time. "Greetings my fellow huntsman in training!" Nigel responded in a cheery tone. "It seems our rather large friend is already doing wondrous things." Deveraux chuckled "You mean overgrown jackass? Yeah, he's just awesome." Blake smirked from behind her book. "Almost as awesome as he was about to punch you in the face, Dev."

"Oh, shut up Blake." He said and laughed.

"I could tell that from the two of yours heated discussions of earlier. It appears that you two didn't quite get along." Nigel continued.

"No shit, Sherlock." Dev rolled his eyes.

Nigel cleared his throat and proclaimed "I would you rather not use such coarse language in front of one so young." Nigel turned to Ruby and introduced "Greetings. My name is Nigel Holland. A pleasure to meet you." He took Ruby's hand and kissed it after his introduction. Ruby replied in a slightly uncomfortable tone "Nice to meet you Nigel. My name is Ruby Rose."

"It is wondrous to meet you, Ms. Rose."

"You can just call me Ruby."

Alexi noticed that the black haired girl from before was starting to walk away and Dev proclaimed "Well, it's been fun but I gotta bounce. Later." Dev turned and ran to catch up to the girl. Alexi turned to Nigel and Ruby and exclaimed "You two ready to see what our new school holds?" Nigel tipped his hat while Ruby smiled, the three headed towards Beacon.
