Beacon Academy: Somewhere
Ruby smiled at the guy, "Oh, aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?"
Jaune gave a slight nod and hung his head. "You know, motion sickness is a lot more common than people think." As he defended himself,
As the three of them started to walk towards the huge settlement that sat before them.
"Look I'm sorry vomit boy was the first thing that came to mind" she remarked.
"Oh yeah what if I called you crater-face?" The blonde said back.
"Hey, that explosion was an accident!" She defended.
"-well the names Jaune arc, Short sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies love it" Ruby give him a doubtful look.
"-Do they?" She replied.
"-They will, well I hope they will I mean, my mom always says that... nevermind." He said with ruby giving him a small awkward laugh.
Trying to change the subject she thought of showing her weapon slowly reached behind her back, then spinning her Crescent Rose until the tip of its blade impaled itself into the ground. "Well I got this thing."
With the blonde backing away slightly as it unfolded, his arm raised. to touch the Scythe, akira who was at the back of the two teens the whole time, not once saying a word just staring at the weapon, now that he was able to get a closer look.
"Is that a scythe?" He replied while touching it.
Ruby gave the Blonde a cheerful nod, "It is also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle."
"A what" Jaune replied blinking in confusion.
"It's also a gun" as Akira finally spoke up trying to put the explanation into a more simple one for the armoured blonde.
"Oh, that's cool, thanks."
Ruby leaned towards Jaune, grinning slightly, "So what do you have?"
As Jaune drawing out, a plain straight blade long sword. "I've uh… got this sword! Its sheath is also a shield, too." He expanded the sheath into its shield mode, as he fumbled it, only to drop it to the ground.
Ruby nodded, her eyes alight at 'meeting' the new weapon. "So what do they do?"
Jaune looked over her. "The shield collapses into a sheath when I get tired of carrying it."
Akira had a puzzled look on his face. "Doesn't that mean it weighs the same at all times?"
"Yeah, it does…" Jaune said dejectedly.
Ruby gave out slight embarrassed laugh, as she began to slowly stroke her, Crescent Rose before putting it down. "Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard in designing it."
Jaune looked over at her in surprise. "Wait, you made that?"
"Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you?" She said.
"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune glanced down at the ground, slightly embarrassed as he sheathed the long sword.
"It kind of sounds more like a family heirloom to me. I like it though. Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days." Ruby replied.
"Also, if it is being pass down from generations to generations, then it's very valuable, just try to be the best huntsman you can be with it, like those before you, I'm sure they'll be happy knowing it's in the right hands" Akira said with an encouraging smile.
"Yeah, Akira's right you should be proud" the red-hooded girl said promoting a smile on the armoured blonde's face.
"Hey where are we going?"
"I dunno i was just following you."
"Yeah me two."
Beacon Academy: Auditorium
Upon entry in a grand hall, the majority of the new students were gathered. Ruby then heard a call of her name and turned her head. Her sister Yang had voiced out her location and Ruby then turned to her newly made 'friends'. "I got to go, I'll see you guys after the ceremony.!" She gave them a slight wave before being dragged off by her sister.
Jaune then held his hands in exasperation and then sighed. "Great, now where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?"
Akira looked at the Blonde then shook his head before ditching him to follow the red-hooded girl
Yang looked over her younger sister with a wide smile, one hand rested on her hips as her friends began to part ways in the crowd. "So how was is your first day going little sister?"
Ruby had a look of disapproval upon her face along with her arms crossed. "You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?" The silver eyed girl asked in a bit of anger.
"Yikes, meltdown already?." Yang commented.
As Akira was coming closer to them all the while, he was listening to the two siblings interacting.
"No. I literally exploded a hole in from of the school. there was fire and i think some ice" the silver-eyed girl explained.
"...are you being sarcastic?" Yang questioned.
Ruby scoffed as she begun to explain faster. "ugh.. I wish I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed and I exploded and then she yelled again, and I felt really, really bad and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!"
"You!" Ruby then heard a girl's voice shout at her and she turned around. She then saw a familiar white-haired girl glaring at her.
"Oh, gosh it's happening again!" The red hooded girl exclaimed as she jumped into her sister's arms.
"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" The heiress scolded.
"Oh my gosh, you really did explode." Yang remarked in realization.
"It was an accident. It was an accident!" Ruby defending herself, as she got out of her sister's arms.
"What's this?" She asked as Weiss shoved a pamphlet in front of Ruby's face.
"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained, while operating a Schnee Dust product, although not mandatory the Schnee family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide on Dust practice and application in the field." Weiss explained in a recording fashion. How? I dunno.
"Wow, you really know how to attract, attention" they heard a sarcastic voice coming from behind them, only to see Akira who was watching the conversation.
"Who are you?" Weiss demanded.
Akira looked at the Weiss with judgeful eyes looking at her as if he was striping her naked "I'm sorry, how rude of me, my name is Akira Kurusu and you are?" With Weiss staring at akira in a hint of anger.
"My name is Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." She informed in a tone that demanded respect.
There was an uneasy silence, with tension in the air, akira staring at Weiss who in turn was staring daggers at him, her pale blue eyes meeting his crimson red eyes.
Sensing the awkward silence Yang decided to start up another conversation "Look uhhh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you try to start over and be friends ok?" Yang asked trying to mend things with Ruby and Weiss, as well as trying to move away from Akira's eyes.
"Yea, great idea sis." Ruby remarked, turning to Weiss and cleared her throat. "Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby. Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies." She asked.
"Yeah and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys like tall, blond, and scraggily over there." Weiss sarcastically replied while gesturing towards Jaune.
"Wow really?" The hooded girl excitedly asked.
"She was being sarcastic." Akira said.
All of them were disturbed with a small cough. "Ahem… I will keep this brief." Ozpin was standing at the stage of the grand hall, all of the new students looking up at the man, either in awe, or respect of his position. Glynda was standing nearby, watching over each of the students with her usual stern expression. "You have travelled here today in search of knowledge. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." and with that said, Ozpin walked off the stage, heading out back to his office.
Amounts of shock, anger, and denial ran through the teens in the crowd after Ozpin's rather bleak speech. Yang huffed in anger at the man's words. Ruby looked down nervously. Weiss even started to lose her scowl and worry crept on her face. Jaune's face was full of fear. Akira simply had an unfazed look, but on the inside he was determined to finish his journey and to protect his friends.
Glynda then took up the microphone that was on the stage, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."
[Persona 5 - beneath the mask]
Night had fallen upon the sky as the moon shined brightly among the stars everyone had changed into a set of pajamas clothing that is used for sleep wear. Akira was in his own pair of pajamas and was busy walking towards his own sleeping bag, when he then heard his name mentioned. "Well, Jaune is nice. Plus one friend! Akira has an interesting personality, there's another!, So yea, two friends right there!"
He looked down and saw Ruby and Yang both lying down in their sleeping bags, while ruby had a piece of paper in front of her. said girl looked up and saw the persona user looking down at them. "Hey akira, when did you get here."
"Just now." He answered. As he bent down over the paper and saw that there were multiple pen scratch marks. "What are you writing about?"
"a letter to my friends at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things were going." Ruby answered as Her eyes then wandered to a small set of candles set across the room, the bow-wearing girl was sitting in that spot, still reading her book. "That girl… I saw her before."
"she has a pretty interesting personality, and she reminds me of myself you know, people that are defiantly the quiet type and love to read." Akira informed them both.
"Well then, let's go talk to her!" Yang exclaimed as she quickly hopped to her feet and grabbed Ruby by the arm. The younger sibling felt her body then being dragged away from the warmth of the sleeping bag.
"Wait, what?" Ruby squeaked in surprise.
"Another opportunity to make a new friend." The blond explained as she continued to march over to the black haired girl. "Heeeellllloooo, I believe you may know each other."
Looking up from her book, she saw a blond girl, and younger black haired girl, and a black haired boy coming her way "Aren't you that girl that exploded?"
Catching Ruby's attention "uhh yeah, my name's ruby" she extended her hand for a handshake but quickly dropped it as the bow-wearing girl looked back at her book,
"But, you can just call me... crater" ruby stopped mid-sentence as she tried to reintroduce herself "actually, you can just call me Ruby."
"Okay" she said indirectly.
"I'm gonna go to sleep" said Akira as he made his way to he's sleeping bag trying to get ready for tomorrow as it will be his initiation.
Laying down on his sleeping bag he gets into a more comfortable position when he did he let himself lost into the realm of sleep.
Sea Of Souls
[Persona 5 - Poem Of Everyone's Soul]
Akira eyes shot up, seeing himself sitting in crimson throne in front of him was his Initial persona: Arsene, next to him is a young girl at the age of 10 this was the ultimate persona of the death arcana: Alice two of them were very protective of Akira's well-being the latter being more than the former.
"Hello, Trickster." said the gentleman thief with the tip of his hat, akira then looked at his 'daughter' who was smiling brightly, "Hello, Father."
akira smiled at Alice happy to see her again but then looked at his other-self.
"How are the others?" He questioned as he know well that he hasn't been able to feel their presence since he came to this world.
"They are fast asleep due to the dimension hopping, although there are some of us already awake such as myself, your daughter, and her Mother." said the gentleman thief, he knew who he was talking about, but he's just gald their still in his soul even after the mementos was erased, he then looked at Alice who was still smiling at him.
"How's your mother Alice?" He asked his Persona/daughter "Mother is busy at the moment, father."
turning his attention away from Alice he looked at the gentleman thief knowing that he wasn't just summoned here for no reason.
"Why am I here, arsene?" He asked.
"For this" the persona held his hand out as a blue flash erupted, showing a scroll "The assistant put this in our/your armoury of thy soul" he explained.
"in this, holds your information for this world as well as a bank account" He than gave the scroll to akira who accepted the scroll.
"Is there anything else" he asked while rising an eyebrow looking at the gentleman thief who shook his head "No, we don't have anything else, to tell you now if you'd excuse me I have to see if anymore of us are awake." the persona then vanished going deep into Akira's sea of souls, leaving him and Alice alone.
"Father, when are you going to summon me?" the persona asked in curiosity promoting a small smile on Akira's face "when the right time comes Alice I'm sure I'll summon you" he answered making the said girl to frown at her father's words.
"But I'm sure that'll be soon, but if not I'll treat you and your mother a picnic together" he remarked making the girl's face lit up in happiness "Really, you truly mean it father?"
Akira nodded at his daughter but it seems he over stayed his welcome, "well Alice looks like father has to go now" said girl had a disappointed face, wanting her father to stay longer but knew that he was a busy man.
"Very well father, I will find mother to tell her you were here" she said as when arsene vanished, she to did so going to find her mother.
Leaving Akira alone, he then looked around in his soul before he to vanished leaving the sea of souls to come back to reality.
No action yet, but in the next chapter there will, Anyway can you guess who is alice's mother is? If you do PM me.
By the way no rwby characters are able to get personas in this story as I find it makes akira non special so it is exclusive to Akira only.
