At From Dust till Dawn Tiz is sweeping the area in front of the counter. Tiz looks over at the window and sighs. By the window is none other than Sun Wukong, his face plastered against the window with a funny face. Tiz walks out the front door and gives Sun a slightly annoyed look. "Sun… You keep leaving smudges on the glass… would you please stop?"

Sun chuckles. "I can't help it! It's just exciting to meet new friends in a different kingdom! I mean one that doesn't cause chaos everywhere they go. So how much longer till you are out?"

Tiz begins to clean the small smudges that Sun had left. "In a few minutes… mind not distracting me from my work?" Tiz smiles slightly looking at Sun. Sun simply gives him a thumbs up.

Tiz walks back into the store with Sun tailing behind him. Tiz continues to sweep until all the dirt around the area is in one small pile. Tiz then grabs a dust pan and scoops up all the dust and trash. Tiz smiles looking at the now spotless shop. "And people say work isn't satisfying." Tiz places the broom and dust pan away, as Dusty enters from the back.

"Good work Tiz… Since you finished cleaning, you are free to go. Don't stay out too late ok? Dinner will be ready by seven."

"Sure thing Mr. Dawn. I'll return soon." Tiz removes his work apron and hangs it up. Tiz walks towards Sun who is waiting patiently by the entrance door. Tiz waves good bye to Dusty before walking out with Sun.

Walking down the streets of Vale towards the airships, Sun looks at Tiz, "So what's the story between you and the shop owner? Is he family?"

Tiz shook his head, "No. Actually Mr. Dawn found me unconscious outside his shop, and took me in. I have no memory of how I got here. I didn't have money or a place to stay, so Mr. Dawn allowed me to stay with him while working for him at his shop."

Sun turns to walk backwards looking at Tiz. "Oh? So where are you from?"

Tiz stays silent for a bit before answering, "I am from a continent very far away… the place I lived in was called Norende…" Tiz didn't want to reveal too much info about Luxendarc.

Sun nods, "I see. Well don't worry, I'll teach you everything I know!" Sun gives Tiz a smile.

Tiz gives his own smile, "You mean like stealing?"

Sun almost falls but catches himself before he does. "H-Hey! I don't do it often! I just do it when I forget my wallet… and stuff." Sun looks slightly defeated

Tiz laughs a bit. "Hahaha, I am joking Sun. By the way, why are we going to Beacon?"

Sun smiles again, "Well Beacon is allowing students from other kingdoms to stay at Beacon during the Vytal Festival! I recently made friends with a few students who go there! I met team RWBY, and going to meet team JNPR today! It's gonna be awesome! I also thought it would be cool to introduce the guy who saved my butt to them." Sun puts Tiz in a headlock. "And you have to show me how you did that ninja thing. That was awesome too!"

Tiz laughs nervously. "I-It's my semblance…"

Sun lets him go. "Well darn. That's a really cool Semblance. Anyway we are here."

Tiz looks at the many airships flying back and forth near the port. "Wow… so many…"

Sun smiles, "Nice right? C'mon let's get going!" Sun drags Tiz onto an airship, stopping right in the center of the airships viewing area, where many people were gathering.

Sun covers his eyes, "H-Hey! Sun what are you doing?" Tiz says slightly panicking

Sun chuckles. "Trust me! You are going to love this!"

The airship slowly starts to rise, and it takes off towards Beacon. Sun waits till they are in the right spot before removing his hands from Tiz's eyes. "Alright check this out!"

Tiz opens his eyes and is facing the glass pane that shows the view of Vale. Tiz is speechless as he looks at the view of the city. It was bigger than he expected, and bigger than any city he had visited in Luxendarc. "This is amazing… I have never seen a city this huge before."

Sun smiles placing an arm around Tiz's shoulder. "Right? I remember seeing this view my first time. It is truly something awesome!"

Tiz nods, "Yes it is…" Tiz and Sun both watched the view as the airship sailed to Beacon.

At Beacon's port, Sun and Tiz walk out of the airship. Tiz looks at the giant castle-like academy. "This is an academy!? This looks like a fortress!"

Sun nods, "Beacon Academy, a prestigious academy where boys and girls come to become Hunters and Huntresses. Cool right?" Tiz nods.

"Hey Sun!" Sun turns towards the voice that called him. A blue haired boy walked over, "About time you got here. What took you so long?"

Sun places an arm around Tiz, "Well I was picking up a new friend I made the other day!" Tiz waves awkwardly.

"So you are the guy who saved his butt? That's cool of you. My name is Neptune, nice to meet you." Neptune holds his hand out to which Tiz took and shook it.

"Tiz Arrior." Tiz says.

Neptune nods before looking at Sun, "So we heading to the cafeteria to meet up with the teams you made friends with?"

Sun nods, "Yea! Let's go!"

Sun leads Neptune, and Tiz to towards the direction of the cafeteria.

Close to the entrance of the Cafeteria, Sun is telling Neptune and Tiz about what happened at the Docks.

Neptune smiles a bit, "Man, that's harsh."

Sun nods and continues with more energy than he should have. "I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super-fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome."

Neptune gives a thumbs up "Nice!"

Sun nods stopping in front of both Tiz and Neptune "Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus. But that's a secret, okay?"

Neptune and Tiz nod speaking at the same time, "Got it."

Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret. "And not a, I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret, I'm talking secret secret."

Neptune backs up a bit while Tiz chuckles, "Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it. I got it!"

Sun stands straight again, "You better." Meanwhile Tiz notices something happening in the cafeteria, and decides to take a closer look. Tiz jumps back slightly after a blonde hair student gets chucked towards the window. The blond haired student begins to slide down the window slowly. "Just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys." Sun continued.

Tiz looks at them both, "Uh… Guys?"

Tiz was ignored as Neptune smiles, "None taken."

Sun smiles excitedly. "They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?"

Neptune smiles again while gesturing to himself. "Dude." Neptune's teeth shine as he smiles.

Tiz again tries to capture their attention. "Sun, Neptune I don't think-"

Once again he is ignored as Sun nods "Good point."

Sun and Neptune enter the cafeteria where students are screaming. Tiz decides to wait outside the cafeteria hearing the chaos. He hears some students yelling something about a Food Fight as students ran out. Right before the doors close, Tiz swore he could hear a girl yelling, "Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful! It will be delicious!" Followed by a few more girls cheering. Tiz sighs and closes his eyes waiting for the chaos to pass.

Tiz looks around and sees two adults walking towards his direction by the entrance. "Young man, could you explain what is going on?" Says a blonde haired woman.

Tiz shakes his head not wanting to get involved. "I-I don't…"

The blonde haired woman nods and walks into the cafeteria angrily. Tiz sees the other person with her as he passes Tiz. Tiz felt everything freeze for a second, sensing something strange from the man. The man sensed something as well, and turns to Tiz, lifting his spectacles, "Hmm? Who are you young man?"

Tiz looks at the man. "M-My name is Tiz Arrior…"

The man nods, "My name is Ozpin… Headmaster of this Academy… What academy are you from?"

Tiz looks down. "I-I'm not from an academy…"

Ozpin looks at the boy before turning towards his companions yelling. "Seems Glynda is angry… wait here… I want to speak with you once I return." Tiz nods as he was panicking on the inside.

Ozpin went inside and talked to his companion who he learns is named Glynda. Tiz stands behind Sun and Neptune. Neptune is covered in some purple liquid. "I love these guys!" Sun says while Neptune just glares at him.

Ozpin walks up to them and looks at Tiz. "Mr. Arrior. Please follow me." Ozpin walks out of the cafeteria with Tiz following. Sun and Neptune look at each other confused.

In Ozpin's office both Tiz and Ozpin were sitting, a desk between them. The only sound that can be heard is the sound of the gears above them. Tiz is moving slightly nervous as Ozpin stares at him. "Tiz Arrior… you say you are not from any school… explain."

Tiz nods. "I didn't go to combat school, I am not even a hunter-in-training… I work at a Dust Shop, as hired help. I met Sun after saving him from some bad people, and he thought I was a hunter-in-training… he brought me here to meet the people who started that food fight…"

Ozpin continues to look at Tiz, "I can see why he mistook you for a hunter-in-training. You seem to have some sort of skill… you also give off this vibe of power…"

Tiz looks at Ozpin, "Sir… may I ask you something…?" Ozpin nods. "Are you an influential person?"

Ozpin nods a bit cautious of the question. "Indeed I am to a certain extent. Why do you ask?"

Tiz stands immediately, hope in his voice, "You see, I have been looking for three of my friends. I was hoping to find someone who would be willing to assist me in looking for them?"

Ozpin takes a sip from his mug before he continued. "Mr. Arrior as much as I would love to help you, I am afraid I cannot. My time is important and I can't help you search for your friends. I am sorry."

Tiz frowns upon hearing what he said, before an idea pops into his head. 'I am going to regret this but I am desperate.' Tiz leans towards Ozpin, his hands on his desk, "What if I told you me and my friends were not of this world?"

Ozpin raises an eyebrow, "You say you are aliens?"

Tiz shook his head, "Not aliens… Humans from a different world."

Ozpin places his mug down, "Do you have any way of proving this?"

Tiz reaches for his pockets and holds out four small stones that have a strange glow to them. "You're world doesn't have these… these are called Asterisk. They are stones that grant power to those who use them."

Ozpin looks at the stones, feeling the power coming from them. "I see… well Mr. Arrior. How about we make a deal… You complete a test of mine, and I will believe you… You fail and you will be escorted from campus. Do you agree?"

Tiz places the stones away in his bag, and nods. "I agree to your Terms Headmaster…"

Ozpin smiles and holds his hand out, "I wish you the best of luck Mr. Arrior." Tiz took his hand and shook it.
