RWBY: Team CRML
Chapter 1
Liam
Landing at Beacon, me and my cousins left the airship, making our way to the main building. "
The view from Vale's got nothing on this!"
"Ohmygosh, sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" Ruby said as she tried getting closer, but Yang pulled her by the hood. "Ow! Ooww!"
"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons!"
"'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!"
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked.
"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..."
"Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?" I asked her.
"But... why would I need friends if I have you two?"
"Well..." Yang was suddenly surrounded by other students. "Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up. 'Kay, see ya, bye!"
Yang and her friends dashed by Ruby. "Wait, where are you going?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? I don't know what I'm doing..." Ruby fell backwards into a luggage cart, sending cases flying.
"What are you doing?!" a girl in almost all white shouted at Ruby.
"Uh, sorry!" Ruby apologized as she got up.
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?"
"Uuhhh..." Ruby picked up one of the cases.
"Give me that!" she snatched the luggage from Ruby and opened it to reveal its contents. "This is Dust - mined and purified from the Schnee quarry!"
"Uuuhhhh..."
"What are you, brain-dead?" she pulled out a vial of red Dust and shut the case. "Dust! Fire, water, lightning, energy!"
"I... I know..."
"Hey, could you-" I tried speaking up, only to get talked over.
"Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!" the girl kept going.
Ruby, who had been receiving Dust to her face from the vial, finally sneezes, which erupts into a full-blown explosion of flame, snowflakes, and electricity.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"
"Would you cut it out?!" I shouted over her. "She's already apologized. If you would've just accepted her apology and let it go, this wouldn't have happened!"
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" she kept ignoring me.
"Well, I-I..."
"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice, you know! We're here to fight monsters, so... watch where you're going!"
"Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!" Ruby said, finally having enough.
"It's heiress, actually." looking over to the source of the new voice, a girl wearing a bow walked over, holding the red vial. And beside her was a white haired cat faunus. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."
"Finally! Some recognition!"
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." the Faunus added.
The girl, Weiss, got angry again as Ruby chuckled. "Wha- How dare- The nerve of... Ugh!" Weiss snatched the vial from the girl with the bow before turning to me. "Try and keep your brat of a sister under control next time!" she turned around and stormed off.
"She's my cousin, actually." I said softly as I crossed my arms.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby shouted as Weiss walked off. "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day... So, what's..." the girl with the bow and the Faunus both walked off. "Welcome to Beacon..." Ruby said as she collapsed onto the ground.
"Hey... I'm Jaune." I looked over to see a blonde kid holding his hand out to Ruby.
"Ruby." she accepted his help up. "Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"
Seeing them walk off, I stood in the center of the courtyard. "Hm." looking to the main building, I began heading there.
