*Note: A small intro of how the four met, what transpired momentarily, and finally the meetings. Also a warning the meetings will... well suck is a proper word.

As far as official records went, all four of the team members of Team VAKS left on a single airship to Beacon Academy.

That however is not the case.

The truth of the matter is, that when they all first met... it was a nightmare. Literally right off the bat, the four of them fought within the kingdom of Vale in a small town called Beaker, to the north. The fight lasted a estimated hour resulted in numerous property damage, among it was:

Fifteen smashed cars

Seven destroyed stores

Eight cafe's

A bank

A staggering seven hundred and fifty thousand Lien in miscellaneous property damage

And finally two airships.

When they were found, they looked ready to go for another round. That was before the large man in red named Adam started to laugh. Then Samuel. Then Kevin. Then finally Orceal as if this was some kind of training for them all, or a trust exercise. After a few calls, pardons, and paying off most of the property damage, the four were sent to Beacon, but on separate airships, arriving at separate times and of course, meeting separate people.

Winter Perfection

Perfection. He strived for it, lived for it, and even breathed it. Of course dropping the pilot a few Lien to arrive at the school on time didn't hurt either, but Samuel would do whatever it took to be perfect... or at least close to it. As the airship touched down to let him off, he got his first view of the academy and sighed blissfully "Such a magnificent school. Oh if only my teammates were here... oh well" he said with a smile as he walked along his way in his usual attire. His tortoise shell glasses hanging on his noise, his jade serpent necklace bouncing as he walked and his black sneakers connecting with the concrete as he walked down the path to the school. The wind blowing as it pressed against his purple, longsleeve shirt, his grey vest, his black slacks, and of course his two scimitars that hung on opposite sides of his waist. Admittedly he arrived a few minutes early to at least look around before the speech would start, but during his walk he found a rather peculiar sight.

Walking down the path towards the auditorium was a rather fetching woman, in a dress of white and red, but with a fine weapon at her side, a rapier, a symbol of poise and class. Among his team, he was the best when it came to detail of design or function of the weaponry of his team while Adam handled forging and Orceal did the blueprints. As he caught up with her, he couldn't help, but to start a conversation, mainly of her weapon "Pardon me mademoiselle, but that wouldn't happen to be a rapier class weapon with interchangeable dust chamber would it?" he asked. If his voice had to be compared to a race, it would be of Italian. As the woman stopped, she turned as she looked... pissed? Not sure what the right word would be though.

"And why if it was?" she asked as she stopped in her walk.

"Is it wrong for a man to want to look over such beautiful craftsmanship of a wonderful sword?"

She just looked at him as she slowly walked around him, as if examining him "You seem... familiar" she said as she stopped infront of Samuel.

He shakes his head and chuckles "My sincerest apologies mademoiselle." he said as he bowed "My name is Samuel Socci of the Socci family" he said. He looked up to see her wide eye "And before you say anything, no I did not bribe my way into here. That is the lazy man's way of getting into Beacon. The true way is by skill and prowess!" he said joyously, all before chuckled and looked at the girl again. He chuckles nervously while rubbing the back of his head "Sorry about that miss... you never gave your name"

"Weiss. Weiss Schnee" she said. Now it was time for him to look surprised.

"As in from the Schnee family? Oh such a wonderful meeting this definitely is!" he said in joy. As he looked to speak, he stopped and looked at his watch "Oh he must be going, the orientation is about to begin. Perhaps afterwards we could speak more?" he asked. Weiss gave no reply, just turned and walked away as he sighed with a smile "I'll take that as a no" he muttered as he followed after her.

Shadow Reader

"Knowing Samuel he's probably been to the orientation and out by now" Orceal thought as he sat in his airship. Judging by the time, he would be arriving after the whole orientation thing. Works for him since it left him more time for his 'hobby'. As the airship came to land, he could see groups of people walking out of the orientation building as he chuckles "Right on cue" he thought. He walked out of the ship with his usual accessories, but also in a dark blue hoody with some weird rune looking symbols all over it. His jeans were the same, but of a black color with yellow runes. The odd part of the students was he saw Samuel walking with some white haired woman, as the two seemed to talk. Well more like he talked and she tried to ignore him.

Needless to say as soon as the ship touched down, Orceal made his way past the crowd and went for the one place he be till the team met again. The difference here is, that one student saw him and followed him, simply because he had a hood on and looked suspicious. That and he carried a long staff that had two blades on top of it. As she followed him into the library, she saw him go upstairs and seem to pick up pace. Orceal could hear the footsteps following him as he picked up pace and before long, he was weaving and moving between and around the shelves as he attempts to lose this follower. He stopped when he reached the more off-duty/off-study books like romance novels. He could hear the footsteps approaching as he formulated a plan.

When she turned the corner, she would not find him there. He was however at the very top of the shelves, floating on a rune that his mother taught him. He just smirked as he saw her walk right by him and admittedly, she was kinda cute. Ninja like get up, black bow, black hair, she was a looker, but he had something slightly more important than looking at girls. As she rounded the corner, he slowly pulled out a small black book and leaned against the shelves, starting to read. What he was reading though, was a book that not many would of expected. As he opened the book he smiled "Now let's see where you go here Yuriko" he said softly as he was reading a book called 'Ninjas of Love'. Yeah yeah, it's a stupid title, but honestly it was like Romeo and Juliet...except you can understand what they are saying and no one is dead after the first book.

After a bit of reading, he gasps "How dare that traitorous bigot!" he yelled softly since he was in a library

"Well she is a kunoichi, it is to be expected" a female voice said

"I know that, but still... bitch move" he said. He stopped as he slowly looked up "Um... who said that?" he asked as he looked to his right. He saw the woman from before, sitting ontop of the shelf, right next to him. At first he was surprised, but then did the next manly thing.

He screamed... like a girl... as he fell off his rune and hit the floor he cursed, but then screamed more as his bladed staff nearly cut his head off and his book hit him in the face. He groaned "That was embarrassing" he muttered as he hears the sound of shoes clacking on the floor. He moves his book and sees her looking down at him.

She helped him up as he groans "Thanks"

"Sorry for the scare. Never thought of you as a student."

"It's alright. Just... next time don't go ninja on someone.. erm we're gonna keep the whole 'screaming like a girl' a secret right?" he asked. The woman nods as he smiled a bit "My name is Orceal Vexillarius" he said with a bow.

The girl just nods "Blake Belladonna" she said as she handed him back his book.

He takes it and smiles "So. A fan of the book as well?" he asked as the two of them sit in the library to talk a bit.

Big Bad and Little Red

"Why in all of god's holy name was I on the slowest damn airship in all of Remnant?" Adam mutters. He was a rather... impatient man, sitting with his massive chainaxe nearby, his foot slowly starts to make dents in the floor as he could see the school in the distance. He hated being separated by the only people he could actually give a damn about. Hell they even stood by him when the blame was mostly being put on him for all the destruction. Still... who knew a noble like Socci was a smooth talker with people or that someone like Vexillarius could turn Dust into a massive bomb just with some 'magic' runes.

As the ship touched down, he knew he would get looks mainly because... well he did have a reputation. That and he was a massive student. Seven foot five, rock hard muscles, sharp red eyes, a massive weapon on his back, it was hard to miss him! As he walked down the path in a large, blood red coat that covered his arms and legs with a black and yellow doo-rag that was long enough to reach his shoulders. His doo-rag was hiding the only thing he never showed to anyone, except to those in his village. A pair of large, wolf ears.

As he made his way through the school, he mainly tried to find the armory to modify his weapon, but he soon stopped as he felt someone behind him. When he turned though, he found no one as he turned yet again and kept walking. Every so often, he would stop and look as he kept feeling the feeling of someone following him as he kept walking. He soon stops as the armory as he quickly turned and grabbed something red and black "Ah! Let me go! I'm sorry for following you!" a voice said.

He just looked down and pulled the cloak up as he was met face to face with a silver eyes girl. He raises a eyebrow at her as he narrowed his eyes "Why you following me Red?" he asked as the girl seemed... embarrassed.

"Well... I wanted to see and examine that weapon of yours. It looks... awesome" she said as she seemed fascinated by his weapon, Ora Tristi. As he dropped her, he lifts and raises his axe for her to see. She moved so fast, all he saw where red petals as she sat on his shoulder to examine the axe "Wow! High performance motor! Diamond tipped saw teeth! Titanium grade chain and tungsten axe blade! Ugh~ But it's so heavy!" she complained the last part as she tries to pick it up. Adam picked it up with ease as she lets go "So... what brings you here?"

"I'm here to make a backup weapon and to try and improve Ora Tristi's endurance" he said. He just kept walking till he entered the armory and... by all the gods of war and violence. Rows upon rows of metals, parts, attachments. It was as if it was a modern day Valhalla! At this point, he just tuned out Red as he looked for some specific parts. Some armor plating, better weapon cores, and a few other parts. Eight blades, all of shortsword length, a multi dust dispersal unit for spreading his dust power to the glades and heavy armor plating.

Things would of gone better if she hadn't returned "Oh! What are you making?!" she asked giddily while carrying ten different scopes. As he ignored her, he went up to the forge as she seemed confused "Uh, where are your blueprints?" she asked. All he did was tap his head as he placed the parts onto the forge. Right before her eyes, she can see him bend the metal, attach the components, even make the components fit like they were made too. Afterwards, he slid the new tools on as they were a pair of gauntlets with blades for the first four fingers. She ran onto his shoulder, hanging on "Oh! So pretty!... what are they?" she asked.

"Claw gauntlets. Making them just felt... right" he said as he removed them, seeing them compress into large wrist bands as he puts them in his pocket. He looked at her just hanging on as he just sighs, not wanting to deal with her. He lifted his massive chainaxe after fixing it up and walking out with her on his shoulder.

"My name's Ruby. Ruby Rose" she said with a smile as she looked at him.

All he did was look at her with his red eyes "Adam. Adam Praetorian" he said. He kept walking as Ruby kept talking about weapons and of a woman named Yang.

Fire Doctor

The final piece of the team was coming, the healer of them all. As the ship landed, the man in a short sleeve green shirt and black pants with a green scythe on his back looked around as he tried to find his teammates who were currently occupied. He absentmindedly walked around, till he bumped into someone's chest. He looked up into a smiling blonde "Hello!" she said with a wave.

Kevin backed up a bit as he bowed his head "Terribly sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going" he said. As he looked up, he saw her simply shrug as he looked around again "I take it orientation is over?"

"Yep! Ended some time ago" she replied "Name's Yang" she said extending a hand.

"Kevin. Kevin Clinicus" he said as he shook her hand. As he walked down the path, Yang followed. After a bit, Yang took the lead and started to lead him around the school, acting as tour guide for the guy. As they walked, they stopped and saw a group of four people who seem to be picking on some rabbit faunus as Kevin chuckles. Yang looked at him, about to say something before getting cut off "Adam would so beat that guy's skull in" he said as if it was common

"Adam?"

"Yeah, he's one of my teammates. Or at least he would be if we didn't need to go through initiation. Guy is a huge, I mean HUGE, Pro-Faunus supporter. Don't know why though, and by that I mean as in his reason. I am Pro-Faunus because I see them as humans with just a bit extra. His reason is unknown" he explained.

Yang just nodded as she soon looked over and grins "Want to meet someone cool?" she asked. Kevin just nodded as he got dragged away by her fast speed. When they stopped, Yang yelled out "Ruby!"

"Yang!" she replied as the two hugged. Yang stopped as she saw the massive man with the axe as he just looks at them.

She was about to say something as Kevin laughs "Adam! There you are you violent man!" he said as the massive man dragged him into a big headlock followed by a noggie. The two laugh like old comrades as Kevin laughs "So... whose your girlfriend?" he asked as Adam started to choke him.

"She's not my girlfriend you bastard. She's just some girl who likes my weapon and - huh?" he started, but stopped as Ruby was holding Kevin's scythe, admiring it.

Kevin took it back as he looks at her "Sorry about my sister, she's a weaponmaniac"

"I am not! I just have a fascination for weapons is all" she said with a pout.

"Sounds just like you Adam" Kevin said, earning a rather beastial like growl from Kevin. They look at him confused as he just scoffs and walks away "Wait for me man! See you later Yang and Ruby!" Kevin called out as they got a good distance away, he turned to Adam "Watch the anger my friend, don't want to lose your hat again do you? Luckily Samuel made a extra to cover your ears" he said as Adam just nodded.

As they reached the auditorium, they saw their ally Samuel talking with Weiss. When he looked over, he smiled "I must be going Weiss, my allies are here. Remember to consider the basket handle guard design. It may reduce your hand's freedom, but would make it a bit more challenging to disarm you" he said as she left. He walked up and hugged them both "Salutations my friend!" he said as Adam just pushed him away. He just chuckles as he looks at them "You missed orientation you two. We're all sleeping in the auditorium with the other students and tomorrow is the initiation part" he informed them "Now let's try to find the bookworm" he said.

"Right behind you" Orceal said causing Samuel to jump into Adam's arm with a scream. He just smirks "Just as easy to scare as always. Come on, we need to find a place to sleep" he said.

As the four entered, they found a spot in the back away from most of the students and quickly changed into something more comfortable. Out of all of them, Adam is the only one without a shirt, showing off his muscle and scars as he was also in a pair of red, black, and yellow pajama pants. The others were in tanktops and pajama pants.

Later on that night, when all of them were asleep, Adam woke up cause he couldn't take it anymore and started to walk out of the auditorium. What he didn't know was his footsteps ended up waking the last person he wanted to meet. As he went outside, he looked at the moon as he removed his doo-rag to allow a large pair of wolf like ears to pop out. As he sighs and smiles "Such a freedom to let them out" he said with a large grin.

"They look... kinda cute" a voice said. As he turned around, he saw a young girl in a black attire with silver eyes. It was Ruby. He started to growl as she stopped "Wait wait wait! I won't tell anyone I swear!" she said. He started to look at her as his snarling teeth, his snarling face starts to shrink as he sighs "Look I know it's hard to be a Faunus, but I swear on Crimson Rose and my own heart I won't tell anyone!" she said "But... only if I get to at least touch them" she said.

Oh this was going to cause him problems. It's not like he can kill her... she's too young and also who knows what that blonde would do if he did kill her. He crosses his arms "Why?"

"Well... I just want to Wolfy" she replied.

He glares at her "Wolfy?"

"Yeah since... well your a wolf faunus

"How would you feel if I called you Little Red?" he asks as he pats her head to emphasize the point of her small stature. When she pouts, she quickly moves up onto his shoulders and started to feel his ears. He growls at her "Get off of me or I will rend your flesh you pint sized maggot!" he yelled as he tried to toss her off, but she kept dodging.

"Aw, how do your ears feel?" she asks as she keeps rubbing them. She sits on his shoulders as he keeps trying to grab her. After about a hour, he sits down on the ground hard as he pants from exhaustion and stimulation of his ears. Ruby smiles as stays on his shoulders, arms on his head "So Wolfy" she started as he growled "What brought you to Beacon?" she asked.

All she got was a simple word "Reasons"

"That's cool... we better get back to sleep or else we won't get past initiation" she said hopping off. She started to walk back, but stopped as she handed him his doo-rag "You dropped this" she said. He looked up at her "I keep my promises Wolfy. When you want to tell others you can" she said with a smile.

For once since he got there, he smiled a small one "Thanks Red" he said as the two walked back to the auditorium. As Adam went back to his bed, Ruby couldn't help, but squeal quietly as she goes to bed "His ears are so soft!"
