An orange-haired man with a bowler hat and a cigarette in his mouth appeared on screen in a mug shot. A gentle but strong voice spoke, "The robbery on the dust shop was led by the nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who has once again, evaded authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, do contact the Vale police department . That's it for now, back to you Lisa."

The image on screen switched to that of a female reporter and an image of numerous Faunuses waving protest signs furiously in a park, Dann sighed, "not again" he mumbled, the reporter spoke, "Thank you Cyril, in other news this Saturday's Faunus Civil Right's protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" and the broadcast buzzed off.

It was replaced with a hologram of a young woman with golden hair, round spectacles and a white and black attire that faded in. Elise tugged at her brother's arm and he turned towards the direction she pointed in.

"Wait... thats-" He was cut off when the hologram greeted, "Hello and welcome to Beacon fellow students, My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among the privileged few who have been selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace..."

The topless warrior, Asphiur, snickered at the word peace, that word had been long gone from him since the day he was born into his war-torn country, but he was grateful for that experience in his life thought him one thing: The strong live, The weak die, this world is cruel like that.

"And its your duty to uphold that peace as future Hunters and Huntresses", The short-haired bunny girl squealed as she tackle-hugged her boyfriend, Skar, the male with the spiked hair in a vest. "Ow... You sure are excited aren't you Kellis Bright" Rina giggled, "Of course she is Skar, its been her dream, our mother's dream, OUR dream to go to Beacon academy." Skar smiled at his girl's elated form and lightly helped them both up.

"...you have displayed the courage needed for such a task and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to protect Remnant". The masked boy cocked his head to one side and laughed slightly at the excitement of the students at the view below them. He joined them at the windows, hearing the voice of the familiar red-cloaked reaper next to him gasp, "Wow! You can see Signal from up here!"

The masked reaper turned and for the first time in awhile was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face, "Ruby Rose? What are you doing here?" Ruby turned her head to the voice and jumped back in shock, her face started to turn as red as her cloak, she hid her face the red fabric and mumbled to herself, "oh my god Leon sem-sempai is here, I have to-uh-uh okay calm down-"

Amused, Leon said, "You know I can hear you right?"

"Ahh... don't look at me I'm so embarrassed" Now she looked like she was going to explode into tomatoes.

Leon fought back a laugh at how cute her reaction was. Ruby's golden-haired sister came over and pat Ruby on the back a little too hard, teasing her about her "Masked Saviour". Leon laughed at the sight and walked over to a corner to find that his place was taken the purple boy from last night typing away on his scroll. The masked reaper greeted him, "Hey, you're that dude from last night right?"

Dann turned towards the source and got up, extending his hand, "So you do talk...Yeah I am! Thanks for the save. I'm Dann Agker." a smiled formed on Dann's face and he could hear the smile behind the boy's mask too as he returned the handshake, "Le-Leon. Leon Skia."

"so... you got in through your grades or-"

"An invitation, like yours remember?" Leon searched his pocket and brought out the slip of paper from yesterday.

Dann laughed at his terrible memory, "right right..." He replied. Leon motioned to the other students and it was his turn to ask, "why aren't you... you know, joining the other students at the view" rubbed the back of his head and replied, "In the day I'm as blind as a bat, I can only "see" through vibrations and sound, since we're in the cabin, the vibrations can't bounce outside and thus... yeah..." Leon sighed, "That's...sad..."

"It's okay, I can still see once daybreaks" Dann smiled reassuringly. Just then, the speakers came on, an announcement filled the cabin.

"Greetings students this is your captain, Donald speaking, I am pleased to inform you that we have arrived at our destination, do have a nice day and enjoy your stay at Beacon. Do remember to take all your belongings and check for anything left under the chairs. Lastly, Students are allowed to board the dust boat back to Vale after 6pm on weekdays and early in the morning on weekends, they have to be back in Beacon by 11:30 pm on all days. The last boat will leave the port at 12pm. With that I thank you for riding Beacon air and hope to see you soon!"

The speakers clicked off and the luggage shelves unlocked, the crowd of students reached for their baggage and subsequently exited the boat. The numerous delighted gasps and squeals met the atmosphere as the freshmen and women marveled at the school. One of which was Rinales Bright, "Oh my god I can't believe we're here..." as she could not contain her excitement any longer and sprung in every step.

"Wow... this place is biiiggggg..." The elven sister of Terra marveled at the architecture before her. "Amazing...this place must have a crap ton of history..." Terra added.

"In other words. Old. As. Hell" Elise joked. Terra rolled his eyes and dragged his luggage behind him towards the courtyard of the school. Noticing Elise's sigh he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Its nothing... its just that everyone has a cool-ass weapon and here's mine" She pulled the old, scratched and damaged wooden bow out from behind her. "Just an old simple hunting bow". Terra smirked, "exactly what I was waiting for... here got you a little present." He threw her a box wrapped in a pink ribbon. She cocked an eyebrow, wondering what the occasion was as she tore the gift open. Her confused expression turned into one of excitement as she squealed in delight over the metallic yellow and red bow with what seemed like a revolver barrel and a scope on the riser. Its two limbs donned a crystal on their edges that would create a beam that acted as a string.

"Oh my goddddd... THANK YOU TERRAAAAA YOU'RE SO AWESOME" Elise jumped onto her brother's neck, nearly strangling him. "HEY HEY HEY LET GO!" He yelled back, trying to push her off. Realizing she might just kill him, she finally jumped off. As Terra caught his breath, he boasted, "al...so... that's not all..." He massaged his neck with one hand and twisted the riser with the other, the bow's limbs folded inwards to reveal two blades taking their place, the blades had elven writing carved on them that lit the blades ablaze when they were drawn.

"Woah... this must've taken weeks, even months to make!" She admired its melee form, Terra replied, with a look of pride, "no big deal just 3 weeks..."

Another squeal came from their right, "Oh my god that girl has a fire sword...!" It was that of a little girl, too young to be 17. The girl dressed in a red cloak was being held back by her sister, after her sister spoke, she drew her red scythe and started hugging it like her significant other. Elise shrugged with a smile, "guess I'm not the only one excited about this..."

"I'm assuming this place is pretty damn neat from all that gasping…" Dann joked as his masked friend helped him off the ship.

"Yeah it is…." Leon replied, letting go of the purple bat once he was given the thumbs up.

"Guess you could say its… breathtaking!" Dann laughed at his own lousy pun as Leon shook his head and sigh, his smile could be heard through his mask. They proceeded on towards the two buildings that looked like towers.

"So… you uhh…. Got any other…friends here?" Leon asked, adjusting his mask slightly.

"I'm not sure… maybe we'll find out in a-" Dann suddenly froze in place, his ears twitching. "Wait a second… I know that voice…" He "looked" to his left, Leon followed curiously. "Guess that answers my question" He mumbled, following the blind faunus who had begun in the other direction

"…So I said: "What's wrong? Frog got your throat?"" Terra telling his tale of the time his fellow biology partner choked on a live frog who had hopped into his throat, earning laughter from his sister.

"Wow… sounds like an awesome dude. You think we'll see him here?" Terra's expression changed to that of a sadness, he sighed.

"Unfortunately not, the idiot got kicked out of school after he got caught stealing-"

"Dust from the Chemistry Lab for his best friend…" A voice from behind him continued. Terra's eyes widened with an elated look. "You'd best not be who I think it is….Dann?"

"In the flesh! It's been awhile Terra buddy!" The bat pounced and it was his turn to nearly strangle the earthbender to death.

"I'm… Argh happy to see you too… now let me go before I DIE!" Terra desperately struggled to push the bat off him. Dann realized what he was doing and hopped off Terra, who once again massaged the back of his neck and groaned slightly.

"what is it with people and choking me to death. Did I like sacrifice kittens to the underworld or something in my past life?" Leon chuckled at his joke, which earned him notice from Terra and Elise.

"Who's this?" Dann and Terra asked in sync about their respective companions. Terra motioned for Dann to go first. The bat cleared his throat

"This is Leon, just met him today. He may look like a psychopath but he's pretty normal. Just-" in the blink of an eye, the reaper's scythe was drawn at the Earthbender who's hand was reached out for Leon's mask.

"don't touch the mask… yeah…." Dann continued as he put his hand on the scythe, lowering it slowly.

"sorry… just a little defensive over the mask…" Leon apologized. Earning an "oh" from Terra as he kept his hands back to himself. The awkward silence was broken by Terra who adjusted his hat before starting.

"This here's Elise my-"

"Girlfriend?" Dann interrupted with a cheeky expression. The duo rolled their eyes.

"My sworn sister…." Leon pat Dann hard on the back as the purple bat returned with his "oh" and nervous laughter.

"Nice to meet you Dann and Leon-kun" she extended her hand. Which Dann shook with a smile.

"Likewise."

"You think we'll see anyone else?" Dann questioned. To which Terra shrugged, opening his mouth to say something but was again cut off by some shouting, it came from a girl with long, white flowy hair tied into a ponytail in a snow-white combat skirt reprimanding the red cloaked girl from just now.

"This was exactly what I was afraid of!" The white princess scolded as she brushed soot off of her dress. Dann sighed.

"Guess this answers my question…"

"Wait… that's miss Schnee , Heiress to the Schnee Dust company right?" Leon asked, surprised at the appearance of a near-celebrity in the school. Terra nodded in reply. "That's also the girl Dann stole dust for."

"Hey Ice Queen give her a break will you?!" Dann yelled, false exasperation in tone, the white girl jumped and spun around, her anger quickly changed to shock.

"What did you call me?!- Daniel Agker? What are you doing here?"
