Ch 2: Welcome to Beacon

"Mako, wake up we are here, we have arrived at beacon" Ruby whispered.

"Why are you whispering to him, just wake him up you dunce." An unfamiliar voice yelled. I opened my eyes to see another girl with a cream white complexion and hair as white as snow.

"Now who are you?" I asked

"Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company" She replied in a snarky tone. This girl has an attitude that doesn't really match her size. Best if I stay out of her way. "Well don't just sit there get up, our professor wants to see you."

"And who exactly is your professor" I asked again.

"Professor Ozpin, he is also the headmaster of our school." Ruby replied. "Now follow myself and Weiss,

Blake and our other member of our team, Yang, already went to go debrief with him about what we encountered in Atlas." We exited the hangar and began to walk across the campus while at the same time Ruby and Weiss told myself a brief summary of what all has happened to them and their team in addition to what the school was like. We continued walking until we entered a large courtyard decorated with various flowers and fauna (note faunus to those who don't get it). In the certain stood a man in a black suit with a green trim. His whitish- gray hair came down to his round glasses, and his stare was blank yet directed towards me.

"Ah so you are Mako. The members of team RWBY have told me about you and your encounter with the Grimm horde and mr. Torchwick. My name is professor Ozpin, I am the headmaster of Beacon. Now what exactly brings you to my school?" He asked politely.

"Sir, all I want are some answers as to how and why the grimm attacked my town. Also who exactly is team RWBY?" I asked.

"Oh, I would have thought they would have mentioned who they are. You Mr. Mako have already met them. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. You do have a last name don't you? Honestly it's quite odd calling you Mako." He replied.

"Scatterfall, my last name is Scatterfall sir." I muttered.

"Why the low attitude is something else on your mind mr. Scatterfall?" He asked puzzled.

"It's just my entire town, my home was wiped out in a matter of hours sir, I don't even know if any of my friends made it out. Also sir I am not much of a talker so I apologize if I come off being rude." I exclaimed.

He looked down at the ground and then at Weiss and Ruby. "Girls, would you mind leaving the two of us alone?" He asked. "Not at all" Ruby said. "Come one Weiss we need to get cleaned up, I smell like smoke." I watched the two of them walk towards a building that I guess was a dormitory. Then I returned my focus on the professor.

"I understand your emotions mr. Scatterfall, I really do, but honestly I can't offer you anything in the world that can replace your memories or friends you may have lost in this terrible attack. I can however offer you a spot in a dorm to stay in until you are completely recuperated. Or you could attend my school if you were up to it." He said.

I have nowhere else to go, I have to take up his offer. I'm going to train and become an even better fighter. Then I can find this Torchwick guy. "Sure I will gladly attend your school. Its not like I really have a choice, like you said everything I knew in Atlas is gone" I replied.

"Good, I'm glad to hear you are accepting my offer. However the first year students have already begun their second semester since they just completed their first. In this first semester they were put into teams of four. Since you are having a late start I cannot offer you a spot on any of the teams. You can however act as a standby student or a floater if you will. If you want to I can put you on the same floor as Team RWBY. You will have a smaller room obviously and you will be next to team JNPR and CRDL. Team JNPR is an interesting bunch and you will more than likely fit in quite well with them. I would stay away from CRDL, they aren't exactly the most open team but they know how to get the job done when it comes to a fight. I know this is a lot to take in but do you understand?" He asked.

"Yes sir, I heard you loud and clear. Will I get any of my own out of school missions like team RWBY" I asked curiously.

"Eventually yes, however your missions, tests if you will, will be focused more on smaller engagement since you are at the moment a one man team. Like I said before however I may lone you to the other teams since you're a floater student. So expect to be matched with them every so often." He remarked. "Also mr. Scatterfall, here is a tablet that will guide you throughout the school, and will tell you your schedule. Since it's a Friday night I suggest finding your room." He added.

I looked him in his eyes and said "Thank you, once again sir thank you for doing this for me."

"mr. Scatterfall, no need to be this thankful. I am pleased by your thankful attitude but I have a feeling I may be thanking you in your future. Now hurry along, it's getting dark." He replied. I nodded and pulled out the tablet which marked the location I needed to head to, to get to my housing. What did he mean when he said he may be thinking myself in the future? I guess he has plans for me.

I exited the courtyard and entered the dormitory or student housing and looked around. There were no students talking or socializing in the commons area. Weird, Its only 8 o'clock. Where did all the students go? I continued through the commons glancing at various posters and art that decorated the what I was now guessing the first year commons. The decorations add a sort of welcoming vibe to area. Guess I should head up this staircase. I glanced down at my tablet which read room 211. I walked up the stairs and took a left to see the room number that was 211. I opened the door to find a small yet seemingly comfortable room. It had all the furnishings of a small apartment, excluding a washroom, all basically in one room. I looked over at my regular sized bed and decided to call it a night.

I still have so many things unanswered. I will have what's left of the weekend to get some more information on Torchwick and the Grimm.
