Meeting New People
After the airship landed Chichi and Daien parted ways, Chichi going with her "friends", Daien suspected that they weren't real friends and more of a group Chichi shadows, and Daien walking off toward the school. Daien was virtually run over by a group of people and the blonde girl he had sent Douchebag to. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" Daien shouted. The blonde girl stopped to apologize but rushed over when she saw who was shouting. "Why hello there, handsome." She said flirtatiously. "Uh... Hi." Daien said leaning back as Blondie got in his face. "Yang Xiao Long, what's your name, stud muffin?" She said fluttering her eyelashes.
"Ugh, why are girls always doing this?!" Daien thought. "I'm Daien, and you're drooling." Yang straightened up and wiped her mouth, "So, w-" Yang was interrupted by her friends calling her, "Ugh, COMING!" She shouted to her friends, "We'll finish this later, hot stuff." Yang winked at Daien before hurrying off with her friends. "Women" Daien said shaking his head. Daien heard an explosion and instinctively ran toward the sound, pistols drawn, safeties off. When he got to the sight of the explosion, Daien stopped cold.
"You complete dolt! What are you even doing here?! Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?!" Yelled a girl Daien hoped he wouldn't ever run into. Weiss Schnee. Daien took a deep breath, clicked on the safeties on his pistols, holstered them, and prepared for the encounter. "Hey, I said I was sorry, Princess!" The girl in the red hood said. "It's heiress, actually." Said another girl that Daien recognized, but was a lot less unhappy to see. Blake Belladonna. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of Energy Propellant in the world." Blake explained.
"Finally, some recognition!" Weiss said. "The same Schnee Dust Company that's infamous for its controversial work forces and questionable business partners" Daien said, walking up to the scene, "As well as their ties to the Atlesian military and being the primary target for White Fang Dust robberies." Weiss was flabbergasted, "Wha-How Dare-The Nerve of-" Weiss ripped a bottle of Red Dust out of Blake's hand and stormed off. "I promise I'll make this up to you!" The girl in the red hood called after Weiss.
Blake started walking off and Daien started to follow her, turned back when the girl in the red hood sank to her knees and flopped on her back. Daien walked up at about the same time as a blonde boy wearing armor that Daien distinctly remembered threw up on the airship. "Hey, I'm Jaune." The blonde boy said offering to help the girl up. "Ruby." She said. "And I'm Daien, nice to meet ya." Daien said once Ruby was standing. "Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?" Daien asked Jaune.
A little while later the three students were walking and talking. "All I'm saying is motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on." Jaune said. "Look, I'm sorry vomit-boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby said in defense. "Oh yeah, what if I called you crater-face?" Jaune retorted. "Hey, that explosion was an accident." "Wait, that was you?" Daien asked in surprise. "Yeah..." Ruby confirmed, rubbing the back of her neck. "Well the name's Jaune Arc!" Jaune said, "Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it!" "Do they?" Daien asked skeptically. "They will! Well, I hope the will. I mean, my mom always says, uh never mind." Jaune said a little down. "Well, Jaune Arc, I'm Daien. Short, simple, I challenge you to forget it." Daien said.
"Soooooo, I got this thing." Ruby unfolded her scythe and slammed the tip of the blade into the ground. "Whoa!" Jaune said in surprise. "Whooaa!" Daien said in awe. "Is that a scythe?" Jaune asked. "It's glorious!" Daien said. "It's also a customizable high impact sniper rifle." Ruby said hefting the weapon. Daien tried not to get any drool on himself. "Wha?" "It's also a gun." Ruby said pumping the action. "Oh. That's cool!" Jaune said. "So what've you got?" Ruby asked. "Oh-uh, I got this sword." Jaune said pulling out the weapon. "Ooooo"
"Yeah, I've got a shield too." Jaune said as his sheath unfolded into a shield. "So what do they do?" Daien asked. Ruby touched the shield, causing it to bounce around while Jaune struggled to get a hold of it. Finally Daien caught it and handed it to Jaune who thanked him. "The shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it I can just... put it away." Jaune said folding the shield back into a sheath. "But wouldn't it way the same?" Ruby asked. "Yeah it does." Jaune admitted. "What about you?" Ruby asked Daien. A wide smile spread across Daien's face.
"My friends, allow me to introduce, Strife and Fury." Daien pulled his weapons out of their holsters and in the same motion spun the firearms around his fingers, before catching the grips. "Whoa!" Jaune and Ruby said In unison. "My lovelies here can pump out twenty one two thousand grain, .50 caliber high impact hollow point rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger." Ruby was drooling heavily. "Wha?" Jaune asked confused. "They make a BIG boom whenever you pull the trigger." Daien said. "Oh." Jaune said. "What else do they do?" Ruby asked, practically vibrating with anticipation. "This" Daien clicked off the safeties before sending a pulse of Aura into the grips. Starting low and going up, Daien spun both pistols around his fingers, and as he did this the monstrous pistols transformed.
At about head level the weapons were almost done; grabbing the handles, Daien brought both weapons down in a kind of 'flick' motion launching out the blades. In each hand Daien held a bearded hand axe with a finger loop at the guard of the axes and saw like teeth running down the blades. "Whoa!" Jaune and Ruby said in unison again, Ruby was basically a fountain of drool. "Are those axes?" Ruby asked wiping her mouth. "Yes, yes they are." Daien said proudly. "That. Is. Awesome!" Ruby let out a high pitched squee. Daien spun the axes around his fingers, going down this time, transforming them back into guns and holstering them, "Yeah, but they're nothing compared to the Sniper Scythe of Doom you got there!" Daien said.
"Yeah well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard designing it." Ruby said holding her weapon. "You mean enthusiast, and yeah I'd have to say ditto on that one." Daien said giving Strife a pat in its holster on his right. "Wait. You made those?" Jaune asked. "Yes." Daien stated. "Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you make yours?" Ruby asked. Juane seemed a little disappointed for some reason as he explained, "It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war." "Sounds more like a family heirloom. You should be proud to carry it into battle." Daien said earnestly. "I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days." Ruby said.
This put a smile on Jaune's face "Yeah. the classics." "So why'd you help me back there, in the courtyard?" Ruby asked. "Oh why not? My mom always says 'strangers are just friends you haven't met yet'." Jaune said. "Uh, I don't mean to interrupt, but I've sorta just been following y'all. So where exactly are we going?" Daien asked. "I dunno, ya think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court? Some sort of recognizable landmark?" Juane inquired. "That would be a no." Daien said.
