-= *First Days, First Impressions* =-

It has been three months since the tournament, and with the beginning of September, the students have boarded the Dustships and continue on towards Beacon Academy.

Each and everyone with their own goals in mind to either become the best Hunter or just simply take Beacon Academy to become some guy selling hot dogs at a hot dog stand in the middle of the street with food inside that's actually ice cream instead of hot dogs stood in the Dustships soaring towards Beacon Academy at that cliff at a very slow rate.

With that aside, we see Rust closing in on the next cabin area, bored out of his mind and on his third lap. As he enters the room, on the opposite corner of the large expanse stormed Terra running in. "RUST ROSSO CORSA?!" she yelled, gathering little attention luckily.

"Huh?" he asked, looking over at her. "What's wrong, Terra?"

"Where have you been?!"

"Walking?"

"AROUND THE WHOLE DAMN SHIP?!"

"Yes," he said normally, continuing to walk.

"This place is huge," she said with a large intake of breath. "What lap are you on, then?"

"Three, going on four."

"Right, three…" she said, but after a moment of silence, she ran after him again, screeching- "THREE?!"

"Yup," he said nonchalantly.

"Do you have nothing better to do with your time?"

"If Ryuu was here, it'd be a lot less boring, I-"

All stopped for Rust as he looked on.

"Rust?" Terra asked, waving a hand in front of his face. "What's gotten into you?"

Looking ahead of herself, she gasped, but was quickly ignored.

"RYUU?!" Rust and Terra yelled.

"Rust?" Ryuu asked, the slender, cyan-haired Faunus with large cat ears jutting out of his hair like Rust asked.

"Sorry…" Rust apologized, getting his wits about himself once again. "But, seriously, aren't you supposed to be in Aether or something?"

It was true. Ryuu was going to the combat of Ethereal to qualify to Aether academy in Atlas. But now that he was here, Rust and Terra were highly confused.

"Yeah…" Ryuu mumbled, scratching the back of his head. "I was originally going to go there until I heard that Beacon was the way to go. I actually had come last year," he admitted. "But, I didn't get into a team, so, in the second semester, I got kicked out."

"Well, then," Rust said, beginning to walk past him, Ryuu soon joining them.

"Aren't you still supposed to be in Myst?" Ryuu asked.

"Well," Terra began to explain. "We got kicked out for putting a human in the hospital."

"Why would you do that?!" yelled Ryuu aloud, wondering what just happened to them that caused Rust to do such a thing. He knew that Rust had a hard time being in Mistral already due to all of the Faunus discrimination, since he had lived with him and their parents for several years until those fateful days.

"Meh," Rust shrugged his shoulders. "He decided to dis Mom and Dad, so…"

"You wanted to protect their honor…" finished Ryuu.

"Yeah," Rust sighed. "I'm not going to let some pothead call my father a loser who was a White Fang wannabe."

"Well, then," Ryuu said, punching Rust's shoulder lightly. "Thanks for taking him on for me. I don't know if my Mark could hold the Water Dragon within."

"Aye, that," Rust smiled.

As they walked along the ship, they remembered how they got them. After General Ironwood adopted them, they soon gained immense powers that strengthened their physical form. So, he relied on the old tactics that held them within.

A large, black tattoo of a Chinese dragon wound up his arm like a snake coiling around prey. Little splotches of black signified the dragon springing out of water, but this tattoo kept it within.

Rust had a similar tattoo, though it was underneath his leather gauntlet, and much, much smaller. Not much larger than the average doughnut was this circular gear with a greatsword in the center. This kept in an animal, vicious side that he himself feared and gave no restriction to gaining it from Ironwood.

"Where's dad?"

"You mean Ironwood?" asked Ryuu. Gaining a nod of confirmation from Rust, he sighed. "Said he can't show up to Beacon for a bit. He's at the Valen Council sticking his neck out for Ozpin. It's about the breach before the tournament."

"Oh, yeah," Rust said. "Terra and I read about it."

"Pfft, I was there," Ryuu chuckled a little before shivering a little. Rust knew when to reckon something when his older brother shivered to it. Earning one himself, Rust shook his head and looked on, noticing a familiar figure.

"Saffre!" he yelled, and she turned. The short girl with a frilly, purple t-shirt on with a pair of jeans turned quickly at the mentioning of her name. Her sapphire colored eyes met Rust's orange glow and Ryuu's cyan eyes and she smiled brightly.

"Rust! Ryuu!" she yelled in mirth, running from the small group formed about her, hugging them dearly. "Hello, Terra!" she said as she looked to her.

Terra smiled and joined in the small group hug, the two surrounding Saffre earlier joining them.

"Saffre?" called a voice.

"I've heard that voice someplace," Rust mumbled, turning towards the voice. "Hello, Regalia."

"Rust," she greeted.

"Hi, Rust, again!" came Joan, jumping into view. Rust pulled back a little, unaware of the three behind him doing as well.

"Hello, Joan," Rust greeted back. "That was...a not very nice thrashing back in the tournament."

"Sorry," she scratched her head. "Couldn't help it."

"You wouldn't believe it!" Regalia jumped in. "She used your tactic to defeat her opponent! It was hilarious!"

"Oh, really?" asked Ryuu. He sighed dramatically. "Seems you got yourself a girlfriend before I did, little bro."

"R-Ryuu!" Rust seethed.

Joan turned her head to the said with a noticeable red line forming beneath her eyes, Regalia and Saffre giggling like mad women. Only, Terra pouted. She may be his sister, but not by blood, dammit.

"What is going on over here?" rushed a voice from a distance, soon joining the group of six and turning it to seven instantly.

"Who are you?" asked Rust rather curtly, though none of the five chastised him due to not knowing who this was either and soon joining Rust in a make-shift hostile wall of bravado.

"My name is Mars Moonstone," he introduced himself. "Heir to the third most powerful Company on Remnant, the Moonstone Corporation."

"Oh," stepped forward Joan. "I've met your mother at one of the establishments."

"Oh, really?" he asked, shining his eyes at her.

"Your eyes are very silver," mentioned Terra, stepping in.

"That's creepy…" Mars mumbled, though only the Faunus in the room picked up on it.

"Sorry!" she yelled, soon returning to the group and hiding behind Ryuu in a flurry of green swaths in the air.

"It's quite alright," he waved it off. "What were you saying, ma'am?" he turned to Joan.

"Oh," she shook her head. "My name is Joan, don't have to call me that. Uh, I met your mother at one of the establishments."

"Oh, yes, the Triarchy, or whatever she called it. I was unaware of their existence until the day they came.

"Your parents don't tell you about stuff often?" Saffre questioned.

"Often? Yes."

Joan began to turn tints of green and blue, causing Ryuu and Terra to be confused the most, before she ran off into the deepest corner of the room in the craft before heaving her lunch up into the bin. After coughing for a bit, she turned around and upon noticing them laugh, she pouted lightly in irritation.

"Vomit Girl!" Ryuu dubbed her, though put a hand under chin and lifted his head for moment as everyone else laughed harder. "Actually, that's already given to someone similar," he noted. Everyone, knowing the name Jaune Arc well, looked on to Joan who cowered back a little.

"W-Why are you staring at me?"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…." they all hummed, thinking as hard as they could.

She still wore her signature white hoodie, magenta easily seen on in the inside. The silver, metal breastplate still only held over the top half of her figure, leather corset beneath it. She wore her shoulder guard with leather gauntlets that went from her fingertips to the edges of said shoulder guards. Normal jeans to boot with beat up sneakers.

"Nah," they all sounded.

"Say…" started Mars. "What's your last name?"

"d...d'Arcuze."

"PFFFFFTTTTT!" Ryuu yelled, spitting out a spray of grape soda all over Mars. "That's why I categorized you with the Arcs so well!"

They turned to a fuming Mars, who quickly quieted.

Glowing silver for but a moment, he was dry with stickiness.

"How'd you do that?" Rust asked.

"It's called Aura Manipulation," he said. "You can manipulate your Aura to rid of particular substances and therefore can expand on it temporarily. Aura normally grows along with your growth speed organally, but you can expand on it for a short while before you use it up, and it goes back to the original size. It is not good to use this regularly, as your Aura may or may not outgrow yourself. Which is highly danger-are you listening to me?!"

Sitting down and kicking back, the company sat on Sunday chairs, resting their feet on short tables.

"Yes," Ryuu said, leaning up. "We're just relaxing while we're listening."

"Have you absorbed any of this information?"

"Yes, very well, and I'm not lying," he said.

Mars narrowed his eyes at the company. "Where did you even get this stuff anyway-?"

Cut off, Professor Goodwitch showed up on the holoboards throughout the deck. Mars sighed and looked away for a moment, but upon returning to the area the company were in, it was empty and desolate as they strode slowly to one of the holoboards.

"Wait for me!"

"Welcome, Students, to Beacon Academy, she said. "Here, you will learn to grow in your Aura, Strength, Size and how to fight Grimm regularly as an aspiring Huntsman or Huntress. Throughout your time here, Soon-to-be-Hunters, you will be taught and tasked with much more advanced techniques than last year's students took. Beacon Academy is becoming much more literate and stronger in every aspect in life, and we will make sure you shall do the same. Welcome, yet again, to Beacon Academy!"

"Goodwitch, right?" Rust pointed at the holoboard, having Ryuu and Terra nodding.

Students all over the ship began to walk up to the windows, getting in a great view of the castle-like Beacon Academy. The large Statue of Joan d'Arc, famous for uniting the Faunus and Humans together and ending the Great War in greater need to hold back the Grimm. She was also the pinnacle of the split between Arc and d'Arcuze.

Originally, the statue was male and the man was named James Arc, though Joan was recently discovered not to be myth and considered better than her son.

"Well, then…" Ryuu motions toward Beacon. "Welcome to Beacon," he said rather unenthusiastically.

"..."

"What?"

"Why are you so…"

"Down?" Terra finished for Mars.

"Right."

"Uh," Ryuu scratched his head. "I already told you guys I was here last year and since I didn't get in a team, I was kicked out before second semester."

"Ohhhhhhhh…"

"It wasn't all that...educational?"

Oh, groan.

"Sorry, Yang influenced!"

"Who the hell is Yang?" asked Mars.
