Young Wolf of Remnant

Act 1
Chapter 2
Welcome to Beacon
{~-~}

Silver eyes scanned the pages of the book as the person the belonged to sat next to a bookshelf. Garnet was never a studious one, but the book he was looking at was not one an onlooker would expect a fifteen yearold to be reading. The book being 'Ninjas of Love'. A shit-eating grin stretched across his face as he got to one of the descriptive sections of the story, only to interrupted by the owner of the bookstore he was in. "Garnet. You know that I can't sell you that."

Garnet looked up to the dark haired store owner and whined, "Aw~, but Tukson~, I'm just reading it!"

The now named Tukson dropped his head and sighed at Garnet's response, completely use to the silver eyed boy's interest in smut. He looked back to the pouting face of the former Guardian and responded. "If I can't sell the book to you, than you can't read it in the store either. Besides, aren't kids your age into stuff like, I don't know, 'X-Ray and Vav'?"

While Garnet was laughing his head off at Tukson's deadpan responses, he faked an offended look. "'X-Ray and Vav'? That isn't even the best comic out there. Don't insinuate that I'm like the normal kids."

Whatever the store owner was going to say was interrupted by an explosion a few blocks away. Store owner and customer leaned to take a look out the window at the rising smoke cloud. Garnet sighed and closed the book in his hand. He handed it back and made his way out of the bookstore, leaving a confused bookstore owner behind him. He walked into an alleyway and jumped off the walls of the two buildings on his sides and landing with a roll onto the roof. As he began to sprint toward the commotion, one thought went through his head. 'I'm going to bail those two out of trouble until the day I die. Again.'

{~-~}

Ruby landed on roughly onto the roof that her opponet had escaped to. She looked at him as he got closer to the edge of the building they were on and called out to him. "Hey!"

Roman Torchwick stopped and didnt say a thing as his backed faced her. She was about to take a step toward him but had to cover her face as a gust of wind, accompanied by the sound of turbine engines, temporarily blinded her. When she opened her eyes, Torchwick was already standing up in the airship. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a red Dust crystal. He held it up and yelled, "END OF THE LINE, RED!"

With a toss the crystal landed at her feet, the reason begining to form in her mind. Before she could act on it, a screaming flare struck the crystal causing a large explosion. In the split second before the flare hit home, Ruby had once again closed her eyes, and when she didn't feel any pain, she opened them again. In front oh her was a blonde woman projecting a glyph in front of them. She raised her glasses her glasses and snapped the riding crop in her hands towards the airship, shooting multiple purple energy bursts into the fuselage. As the airship rocked from the impacts, Roman slipped into the cockpit and was replaced by a different person. The woman, from what was visible with her face obscured by shadow, raised her hand and sent a fireball toward the Huntress, only for a white and gold blur to dash in between them. In an instant the fireball was split in two and the halfs flew to opposite sides of the three people on the roof exploding once connecting with it.

Ruby's eyes lit up with recognition toward the white cloaked figure. The figure turned their head toward her and then the Huntress, who had formed the debris of the explosion into a spear. The spear flew toward the airship, only to be blasted apart. The huntress reformed the spear instantly, richocheting off the roof of the aircraft, when Torchwick leaned the craft to the side. As the Huntress created a storm cloud that rained ice spikes, Ruby looked to the figure in white, who had yet to move from the spot he had landed at. A concerned expression came across her face as she watched them stare at the woman at the airship, before calling out to them. "Garnet!"

Silver met silver, when Garnet looked to his twin. He looked back and reached his hand to his side. A black and red hand cannon twirled on his finger before he claimed a secure grip on it. He aimed carefully and fired the gun with a resounding BANG. The round flew through the air towards the woman obscured by shadow, who blocked it with her hand. Garnet gained a smirk as the round exploded on contact. In his past life, he was always partial toward going into a situation quietly, but if he needed to go load, his preferred type of primary always held a nasty trick for his targets. The woman took a step back from the force of the tiny explosion and wisely chose to side step the next shot. The airship began to fly away by the time he fired his third shot causing him to miss because of the sudden movement.

He clicked his teeth in annoyance before walking back to the other two people on the roof. The former Guardian cast his gaze between the two. His sister's face was filled with barely contained excitement and awe. He inwardly chuckled as he imagined her going to the tower and meeting guardians like Cayde-6 and Lord Shaxx. The Huntress's eyes held more expression than her face did, but because of his experience as a Bladedancer, he could the odd mixture of annoyance and being impressed. It was Ruby, in all her naive wisdom, that broke the short silence.

"You're a Huntress," she said gaining the attention of said Huntress. "Can I have your autograph!?"

Garnet's palm quickly aquainted with face at her starry-eyed expression.

{~-~}

"I hope you realize that the two of you are in serious trouble," said the Huntress, now known as Glynda Goodwitch, "You put yourselves and others in great danger through your actions."

Garnet merely sharpened his knife as Ruby responded with, "But they started it!"

Garnet glanced at his twin, hearing the worry and disappoinment in her voice. He looked back to his knife as he shook his head. In his opinion, she didn't really have anything to worry about. The only damage she caused was a shattered window and cracked blacktop. He nearly blew the roof off of a building. At that his thoughts went back to the woman they encountered. He felt light in her attacks, but is was incompleted and... something else. Tainted, maybe? He momentaryly stopped sharpening his blade when he came up with that theory. No, Light can't be tainted. Those that bear the paracausal energy can become tainted, not the energy itself. He continued sharpening his knife as Miss Goodwitch continued.

"If it were up to me, I'd send you home with a pat on the back," her voice softened a bit at the end of the statement, but seeing her raise her riding crop (seriously, what's with that?) he expected a scolding pretty soon, "And a slap on the wrist!"

She snapped the crop on the table near his twin's hands. The former Guardian smirked at the yelp she let out. He was about to say something when Glynda said, "But, there is someone here who wants to speak to the two of you."

She stepped to the side as the door opened. Garnet stealthily put his knife sharpener away as the man walked in carrying a plate of cookies. He knew who he was from talks with Qrow, but being with him in person shed some new light on the mysterious Headmaster Ozpin. The most shocking thing were his eyes. They held a look that Garnet only saw in elder Guardians. The look that immortality would be hell with out a purpose at their age. His knife grated quietly against his sheath as Ozpin stepped up to the table. "Ruby and Garnet Rose. You both... have silver eyes."

The twins were leaned back a little bit when Ozpin leaned in to get a look at their eyes. Ruby stammered at the akward situation while Garnet raised an eyebrow. Standing up straight he placed the plate on the table, "So, where did the two of you learn to do this?"

The twin's attention were drawn to a scroll that Glynda had put in front of them. On it was a video of Ruby taking down the thugs and then Garnet slicing the fireball in half. Like before, Ruby spoke first.

"S-signal Academy."

"Self taught."

Ozpin's eyebrow at the different responses. "You learned to wield one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed," A scoff from Garnet drew their attention, "And you learned to counter aura based attacks with a simple knife?"

Ruby and Garnet glanced at eachother before looking back to the two adults. "Well, Garnet's always been weird and it was only one teacher in particular that taught me."

Ozpin slid the plate of cookies toward the twins, prompting the red themed Rose to start scarfing them down. "It's just I've only seen one person with the level of skill that you two showed. A dusty old crow."

"That'd be our good old family drunk, Uncle Qrow," Garnet said as he watched his sister fill her mouth to the brim with the cookies that Ozpin gave them.

Ruby swallowed before saying, "Yeah! I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I'm all like, Hi-yah! Wa-cha!"

Ozpin sat down with an amused look on his face. "So I've noticed. And what is two adorable children such as yourselves doing at a school to train warriors?"

The former Guardian looked at his sister as she said, "Well, I want to be a huntress."

"You want to slay monsters?" Ozpin asked, feigning suprise.

"Yeah, I only have two more years of training left at Signal, and then I'm going to apply to Beacon. See, our sister is starting there this semester and she's trying to become a Huntress. And I'm trying to become a Huntress cause, well, I wanna help people, and my parents -" Ruby was cut off as a hand clapped itself over it's mouth. She looked to the hand's owner to see her brother staring at her with worried amusement.

"Slow down and breathe, sis. Not everyone can keep up with you when you don't hold back," Garnet said as he pulled his hand away from her mouth.

Ruby gave a nervous chuckle as she poked her fingers together saying, "Hehe, yeah well that's why I want to become a Huntress. I wanna help people."

Ozpin gave a amused smile as Glynda stared at the twins with a raised eyebrow. "So, that's your sister's reason. Now what about you, young man?"

Garnet looked between the two adults and said, "For as shakey as it is, the world is in a state of peace right now, thanks to those that fight for us. So that's what I want to do. Be a symbol of hope."

Ozpin raised an eyebrow at that and looked towards Glynda, who had a look of slight worry as she returned Ozpin's gaze. That definitely wasn't supisious at all. Ozpin looked back to them and leaned forward. "Do you know who I am?"

Ruby responded first. "You're Professor Ozpin. The headmaster of Beacon."

He smiled and said "Hello."

Ruby was about to say something again when Garnet interrupted with, "Get to the point."

A horrified look from his sister and a glare that promised death and pain from the other adult did nothing to deter the former Guardian from keeping eye contact with the headmaster of Beacon. An amused smile came across his face as he stared back, "Well, from what I can tell, you both would like to go to my school. Am I correct?"

Garnet held his gaze as Ruby once again took the reigns of the conversation. "More than anything."

Ozpin glanced back to his colleague, who gave him a look that said do what you want. At that he looked back to the twins. "Well okay."

Ruby's expression morphed into one of pure joy and excitement, not noticing that her brother's gaze had never left the silver haired headmaster. Garnet, for the life of him, couldn't help be feel like the headmaster was planning something. He shrugged internally as he and his sister were released from custody. Guardian Ender Korvan always jumped headfirst into situations, so why shouldn't Garnet Rose be the same. They are the same person after all.

{~-~}

"Oh! I can't believe my little brother and sister are going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!"

"Need... air!"

"Yang... I'll shoot your foot off if you don't stop crushing us!"

There are many things that one regret doing in life. Things never said or done. Or in this instance, telling something to the wrong person. Namely Yang Xiao Long, the Rose twins older sister who was currently crushing them in a bear hug.

"I'm just so proud of you guys. Everyone's gonna think that you're the bee's knees!" Yang said as she let her siblings go. Garnet rolled his shoulders with an annoyed look while Ruby straightened her cloak. "What is with you two? Aren't you excited?"

"No." Ruby and Yang looked at their brother who merely shrugged at their deadpan looks.

"Of course I'm excited. It's just..." Ruby sighed as her siblings gave her their full attention. "We were moved ahead a full two years. I just don't want anyone to think that I'm special or something."

Garnet shook his head and looked out the window as Yang tried to cheer Ruby up. "You are special, Rubes."

While the the holo-vid of a news cast drew his sister's attention, Garnet's thoughts were drawn towards his past as a Guardian. When he and Clip had just escaped the Cosmodrome after he was brought back to life the first time. He looked over the horizon of Vale and saw an overlap of the Last City covering it. He sighed as he buried the feeling of longing brought from memories of his lost Ghost. He looked towards his sisters, with Yang chasing Ruby around with a puke covered shoe, and smiled at the one thing most Guardians dream of having. A real Family.

Sure there were Guardians who formed close bonds with eachother that can only be described as viewing another as a sibling, but they all had that longing in the back of their minds. The slight urge to hunt down the memories that they lost. He shook his head of his thoughts as they landed.

{~-~}

Guardians like Garnet have seen many amazing sights in their time. The Vault of Glass. The Dreadnaught, in a creepy sort of way. Legion's Keep. But he has to admit, Beacon has made it into the top ten list. The towers reminded him of the pictures and drawings that depicted times before the Golden Age. 'Medieval time, I think that's what Chet called them,' Garnet thought, crushing any depressing thoughts that surfaced in his mind. Of course seeing his sister fangirl over all the weapons being visibly carried around also helped.

Shaking his head, he began to walk toward the main building. As he walked, his eyes studied the crowd. All of them were the average age of 17, though he did spot a few older students watching the new students. Likely just wanting to get a feel for who just arrived to Beacon. He began to feel unsure of the lingering gazes on him, causing to slowly reach for the firearm strapped to his thigh. He easily thumbed the safety strap off and got a sure grip on his hand cannon. He may not have the skill of a Gunslinger, but he can still quickdraw with the best of them. As he continued walking, Garnet felt a few of the eyes on him move to something else. Those remaining must have been the few that noticed his hand move to his gun. His combat instincts, while dulled through fifteen years of civilian life, began to scream at him to eliminate the possible threats. His muscles tensed ready to open fire on those watching him, and he would have, if not for a certain firey blonde brawler clapping a hand on his shoulder.

"Well! That's one antisocial flower down. Now for the tougher challenge of my adorable twins," Yang said with a massive goofy grin adorned on her face. Which instanly vanished when she saw her brother's eyes tracing the crowd while they continued to walk. She frowned at the sight of his paranoid caution, "You know you don't have to be scared of the people here, right? Their all here for the same reason as us!"

"A good sized portion of the students here are only attending Beacon for the glory and prestige that comes with the title 'Huntsman and Huntress'," Garnet said as he pulled his hand away from his gun and rolled Yang's arm off, "And I highly doubt that everyone here has the same reason to enter this field of work as we do. You want to find your biological mother for answers, and I just want the title for starting up a guild of like minded Huntsman and Huntresses."

Yang shot a look of annoyance at the former Guardian as they walked into the announcement hall. "Yeah, well neither can get through this alone. So, you and Ruby will have to open up and expand your horizons. You can't do this all alone, remember?"

Garnet gave a soft smile at Yang's evident concern. "I know that. Law of the Jungle, remember?"

Yang barked out a laugh at her brother's remark, "That's right! The only moral code you follow aside from the protection of innocents!"

Garnet shook his head at his sister as her laughter died down to chuckles. He began to look over the crowd again, this time with less tension. It reminded him of the time after he destroyed the Black Garden, when nearly every Guardian at the tower gathered for the Speaker's speech in the courtyard. He doubted that the speech here would be as grand or uplifting as the Speaker's if Ozpin is giving it. Hearing Yang shout pulled Garnet from his thoughts.

"Ruby! Over here! We saved you a spot!" Yang shouted as she waved her arm to get their sisters attention. The former Guardian looked over in time to see his twin say goodbye to some blonde kid and begin to make her way over to them.

"You do realize that when she gets over here she will be pissed right?" Garnet asked with a dull look on his face.

"Oh~ yeah~," was the drawled response from the blonde brawler.

{~-~}

Red entered her peripheral vision as she stood in the crowd that filled the auditorium. She looked over to see a girl in a red hood standing next to a blonde that didn't wear enough and a boy that looked just like her, only with a white cloak instead of red. She began to walk over to the three, going completely unnoticed to the two females of the group while the boys silver eyes focused on her. Not concerened with the only on of the three that noticed her she walked up behind her.

"-and I felt really, really bad, and I only wanted her to stop yelling-"

"YOU!"

"OH GOD! It's happening again!"

Weiss Schnee glared at the girl who had jumped into her obvious twin's arms. While he looked annoyed at the situation, the blonde standing next to them only looked confused.

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the cliff!" Weiss said as she pointed an accusatory finger at the younger girl. Her twin who was still holding her raised an eyebrow at that and Weiss could have sworn she saw his lip twitch at her comment.

"Oh my gosh, you really exploded," the blonde girl said with a tone of disbelief as the boy promptly dropped his sister with little to no fanfare.

"It was an accident! It was an accident!" the girl said after rapidly getting off the floor she had been dropped on. She would have continued apologizing if a pamphlet hadn't been shoved in her face. "What's this?"

"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field." In front of Weiss stood three different reactions to the speech she just gave. One confused, one bored, and one concerned for each person in front of her.

"Uuhh...?" was the only response from the red hooded girl in front of her.

Weiss's eyebrow twitched as she said, "You really want to make this up to me?"

"Absolutely!"

"Read this, and don't ever talk to me again."

At that point the blonde decided to intervene. "Okay. It looks like we just got off on the wrong foot here. Why don't we just start over?"

Whatever response the younger girl was about to say was cut off. "Just leave 'em be, Yang. If they can be friends then they'll befriends. Besides, Ruby should handle this on her own."

Wiess watched as the blonde, Yang, turned to the white hooded boy in irritation. "Garnet, you of all people should be helping you sister out here."

Garnet turned his head to look Yang directly in the eyes. "She'll be fine. and she won't be able to learn if we baby her like this, Yang."

The blonde brawler was about to say something when the microphone began to send off slight feedback. All four teens looked to the stage to see Professor Ozpin standing in front of the only microphone on stage, with Professor Goodwitch behind him. He cleared his throat and began the opening speech. "I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone you craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people."

He paused and scanned the crowd, stopping for a moment on the Rose twins. "But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction." The crowd began to whisper to each other on what he meant, while a certain Rose narrowed his eyes. "You assume knowledge will set you free of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

With that, the Headmaster of Beacon walked off the stage, as calm as ever with his strides. When he was a few steps away, Professor Goodwitch took his place. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."

When everyone began to clear out, the four teen that were talking all stood in the same place as before. Only one of them wasn't confused. Instead of that, he was reminded of Lord Shaxx, who would have approved of the message behind the cryptic words. Garnet held a chuckle in as he thought of the hell that everyone would go through if the Crucible Master was in charge of combat training. He would, as he elegantly put it, 'beat the stupid out of them'.

"He seemed kind of... off," Yang said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah," Ruby agreed, "It's almost like he wasn't there."

Garnet looked to where Ozpin had vanished. "He probably was thinking about getting more coffee."

Yang snickered at her younger brother's comment and was about to continue the joke when the blonde Ruby had spoken with before randomly hit on Weiss. "I'm a natural blonde 'ya know."

{~-~}

Garnet sat cross legged as he drew on a sketch pad on his lap. It was one of a few drawings that he hadn't drawn from memory, it was one he had made up. In it, Ruby had her scythe, Crescent Rose, on a table and was showing to an Exo with spikes coming from his head. In the backround, Yang was laying on the ground arm-wrestling a woman wearing bulky armor, and a man wearing light armor and a white hood, that covered a helmet, sat in a tree laughing at the two of them.

Garnet pulled his pencil back and looked at the art piece. It was something that had been imagining for a several years now. He doesn't know when, but he began wishing to bring his sisters to the Tower with him when he found a way back. He could imagine Banshee-44 having to force Ruby to leave his stall in the courtyard because of the sheer amount of questions she would ask. Yang and Nigyla would probably get along, as long as the blonde brawler didn't use on of her horrific puns on the Awoken Titan. That wouldn't go well at all. He placed his pencil down and gazed toward the window, towards the shattered moon. A feeling of longing was in his heart as he remembered his second home. He only hoped they were doing well against the enemies there.

"What'cha drawing this time, Garnet?"

The former Guardian looked up to see his sisters looking at him expectantly. He handed over the sketch pad in order for them to see it. Yang grabbed it and held it for them Ruby to see as well. A smile broke out on his face as he watched his siblings gush over how cool it was that he included them in the picture again. Before they could continue talking, the striking of a match caught their attention. They looked over to see a raven haired girl with a short yukuta and oversized bow reading in the corner.

"That girl..." Ruby said as she watched the girl read.

"You know her?" Yang asked, her curiousity and hope grown at her sister knowing someone that wasn't related to them.

"Not really," Ruby admitted, "She was there when I... met Wiess."

Garnet put his drawing utencils up as Yang began to stand. "Well, now's your chance."

"You two do that. I'm going to sleep. Night."

Garnet barely got under the covers when Yang grabbed the back of his shirt and dragged him and Ruby away. "Oh no you don't. If you two want to make friends than you need to talk to people, not hole up somewhere."

Garnet groaned in discomfort next to his twin, who was nearly begging Yang to let go of her hand. When they got in front of the girl, Yang let go of Ruby and lifted Garnet to his feet. "Hello~! I believe you two may know each other."

The girl looked at Ruby, who was rubbing her arm with an akward smile on her face. "Aren't you... that girl who blew up?"

Ruby laughed nervously as she reached for a handshake. "Uh, yeah! My name's Ruby. But you can call me Crater face..." she trailed off and pulled her hand to rub her neck, "Actually you can just call me Ruby."

Garnet stopped paying attention at the dying conversation when he noticed a small detail. A single twitch of the girls bow. 'So the girl's a Faunus huh? But why hide what she is from everyone?' Garnet thought as he slipped back to sleeping bag to grab a drawing from his pad. When he came back, he saw his sisters wrestling for who knows what reason. He walked over to the girl and dropped the drawing in front of her and left with a simple, "Don't hide forever."

He walked away, leaving three confused females. The watched him return to the area he had claimed and get settled for sleep. The girl, Blake, opened the folded drawing, and her eyes widened at what she saw. The drawing depicted a man with a larde smile next to a four armed humanoid. The beings upper arms were mechanical, but it was obvious that there were natural arms there once. Yang leaned over and looked at the drawing. She stood back and scratched the back of her head. "Wonder why he gave you a drawing of Variks."

Blake looked up from the picture. "What? Who's Variks?"

Ruby leaned towards her sister and answered. "Variks is the four armed guy with the staff and chainmail covering his face. According to the stories Garnet made, he's the only member of his species that has the most trust with mankind and he's upset at the rest of his kind for becoming pirates."

Blake's eyes widened in shock at the similarities of the story. A non-human of a race that commit vile acts that's gained the trust of those his kind have harmed. She glanced at the boy who gave her the drawing and thought of his words. She refolded the drawing and put in her book as a place holder.

Garnet closed his eyes as his sisters said goodnight to Blake. His thoughts going to the oddness of him and his sister being recruited by the headmaster himself. To his Bladedancer mindset, it was too convienent. As he drifted off to sleep he began to think of ways to hide the knowledgable man. But, for now, he let his thoughts be occupied by the memories he can only see in his dreams. His first true death.

{~-~}

So sorry this took so long. I'm not to good with stuff like what this chapter was mainly about. Getting to know people. I used the trancripts for the first three episodes of RWBY in order to get a general idea on how certain characters acted. And yes I decided to not have Weiss demand silence in this story. No real reason for that, just didn't. As for the future, Garnet Rose will be a solo Huntsman and just be a reserve fighter. So no he won't be in the Vytal Festival Tournament.

As for the ideas for Supers, I'll say this now. Ruby and Garnet aren't Guardians, they're Silver Eyed Warriors so the rules for Light abilities are going to be different. Like the three elements: Sol, Arc, and Void. They can only use one without consequences. Garnet is Arc, while Ruby is Sol. The reason for this is simple, they are not completely the same. Garnet can be friendly, but he is more willing to do what's neccessary. He is the scalpel for the battlefield. He either does assassinations, or will dance around the smaller threats and eliminate the larger one.

Ruby on the other hand is straight forward. She prefers to take action and confront the foe in their face in order to talk down. And if you look at the show, she has a really sunny disposition (Pun intended). She is someone who lights the world for those close to her. That, and she is slightly arrogant in the first four volumes. Weiss was right when she tried to talk down the team from fighting the White Fang, but Ruby, Blake, and Yang all ignored her. One because she was obsessed, the other for the thrill, and Ruby because she thought that they were ready. Just listen to that mumble during Weiss's speech on how they weren't ready.

Anyway all for now. Sources for lore are from the show for RWBY and Myelin Games and My Name is Byf for Destiny. Till next time, Ja Ne!
