Chapter 2: Arrival At Beacon
Location-Vale Year-Unknown
A day has past and I have boarded some kind of an airship with multiple students on board. I thought, 'Thank God I don't get motion sickness.'
I then heard a familiar voice shouting my name, "Edward! Over here!"
I turned towards the source to see Ruby and a blonde chick. I waved back as I walked towards them responding, "Hey Ruby. Good to see you."
"You too. Ohh, and this is my older sister, Yang. Yang this is Edward, the one who helped me with the criminals at the store." She said.
'She's her sister? They don't look like each other. Maybe half-sisters?" I thought before responding, "Nice to meet you, miss." as I extended out my hand.
She grabbed it, crushing slightly slightly and responding, "You too, and drop the formalities. Just call me Yang." as she let go my hand.
"Sure and wow, that's some grip you have there." I said.
"Take off your helmet." Yang said.
I looked at her and asked, "What?"
"Take off your helmet. I want to see what you look like."
"Uhm...s-sure, I guess." I responded and took of my helmet.
She looks at me intensely before replying, "Alright, you're good."
"Uhm, for what?" I asked.
"To date my sister, of course." She grinned as me and Ruby stare at here in shock.
"WHAT!?" Both me and Ruby responded.
"Yang, we're just friends, okay." Ruby said.
"Yea, just friends, nothing more." I said.
"Oh I get it! You two are taking it slow, aren't you?" she teased.
Both me and Ruby groaned and I thought, 'God, she is worse than Butch and Veronica combined!'
"Oh dear God..." I muttered out until she came to me with a serious face.
"But if you even dare hurt my little sister in any way, you better wish that I won't hunt you down, understand?" Yang said angerly.
"Yes, I understand." I managed to say to her.
The she went back to cheerful and said, "Good, now let's get to know each other."
'I swear she can probably scare Legendary Deathclaws and such to the point where they wimper in fear. Note to self: Never get on her bad side.' I thought.
"Sure, why not." I said to her as I put on my helmet.
"Okay. One: Is there a reason that the description 'Forgive Me Mama' is written on your helmet?" She asked.
"I wrote it so that my mother knows, always. My mother died when I was born and my dad abandon all of his work for me. I never knew my mother, but I still love her the same. I want her to forgive me about the deeds I have done in the past the were wrong, which I thought was right until it was too late." I said with a sigh.
They're faces were filled with sorrow and Ruby said, "You're not the only one."
I then looked up at them in the manner of surprise. She continued...
"My mother died when we were young and Yang here is searching for her mother and to find out why she left." Ruby said.
"Oh, I see. I've been in that similar situation when I was...uh...13 when my dad left without tell me why. After my long search, I finally found him, only for him to be killed by a group of bad people." I said and turned towards Yang and continued, "And don't worry, I'm sure you'll find your mother someday. In-fact, maybe I can help you, if you want."
Yang smiled and said, "Thanks."
But then the news came up, "The nefarious robbery was lead by none other than Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities..."
"Wait that's the same guy we fought against, when Ruby and I first met. That son of a gun..." I said as Ruby nodded at Yang.
"...If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you Lisa."
"Thank you, Cyril...In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights Protest, turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" It was cut short when the hologram of Glynda came up.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon..."
"Who's that?" Yang asks. Before I could answer, Glynda continued.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch...
"Oh." Yang said.
"...You are among a privileged few who had received an honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace..."
"There is no such thing." I said out loud. Ruby and Yang looked at me, confused.
"Wha-what do you mean?" Ruby asks.
I turned towards them and said, "Remember this quote: 'The Calm before the Storm.' You may never know when, but always be prepared."
Yang asks, "Why is that?"
"War never changes." I said, bluntly.
Yang and Ruby looked at each other and then nodded in understanding.
"...and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." and with that, she fades away and the students came over to watch the view of the city.
"Wow." Ruby gasped as she walked towards the window.
Me and Yang followed her and joined in to watch the view. I have to admit, it's better seeing a lot of green than brown all the time. I smiled at the view and said, "Now that is beautiful."
"Look, you can see Signal from up here!" Ruby said.
There was a brief moment of silence until...
"I guess home isn't far, after all." Ruby said.
"Beacon's our home now." Yang said.
"Amen to that." I said.
But we noticed a blonde guy getting sick and came rushing by us.
"Aaand there goes the moment." I said with a sigh.
"Well, I guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang said.
"It was a nice moment while it lasted." Ruby said.
"That's true, I guess." I agreed with Ruby.
"I wonder who we're going to meet?" Yang said.
"I just hope they're better than 'Vomit Boy'." Ruby said.
I looked down noticed that Yang gotten vomit on her shoes. "Uh, Yang?"
She looks at me and sees me pointing at her shoes. She looked down and what she saw, shocked her.
"Oh, Yang, gross, you got puke on your shoe!" Ruby said in disgust.
"Gross, gross, gross..." Yang repeated.
"Get away! Get away! Get away from me!" Ruby panicked.
I just shook my head and thought, 'This is an adventure to remember of, that's for sure.'
