Chapter 8 Welcome to beacon
Skies above Vale
It was a beautiful day for the city of Vale as people went about their everyday jobs and activities. And in the sky above them sky busses where flying the news students of Beacon Academy to their new school and home. Inside one of the busses everyone was talking and chatting with each other. Some were showing off while others where meeting new people. All in all everyone seemed to be having a good time, except for Ruby who was sitting alone on a bench as she thought about what Optimus and Rhinox told her recently.
Vale, Patch, Axalon, last week
After everything that had happened with the alien probe had settled down and Optimus was checked out to make sure he was ok, a private meeting between Optimus, Ruby, and Rhinox was to take place in Optimus office. Optimus sat on one side of the desk while Ruby and Rhinox sat on the other.
Ruby had a weird look on her face, it looked like a cross between anger, betrayal, and fear. "How long… how long did you know about this?" She asked as she broke the silence in the room.
Optimus lowered his head as he knew she had every right to feel the way she did. "Since that medical exam we had you and Yang go through a while back." He answered as he looked over at Rhinox to fill in the blanks.
Rhinox got the message and started to explain. "At first we found this weird power inside of you and had no idea what it could be, so we stayed quite about it to keep you safe. As we studied it we found out that the energy signature was close to that of the Autobot matrix of leadership. But we passed it off as a similarity. We had no idea that a fragment of the matrix now resides inside of you Ruby." Rhinox explained as Ruby kept her look as she asked something else.
"Then what caused it to go active like it did?" Wondered Ruby as Rhinox had an answer for her.
"I think that energon might be the key." Rhinox told her as he turned on the screen in Optimus office showing two similar signatures on it. "The one of the right was from your exam, while the one on the left was after the signal beam was sent from the safe ring. As you can see the one of the left is stronger than the right. My best guess is that energon somehow jump started the matrix, the larger the dose the longer it stays on." Finished Rhinox as Ruby started to get scared at what she was hearing.
"Then what will happen if the Matrix stays on all the time will I even be me?" Asked Ruby as she started to panic as she was worried about what could happen to her.
Optimus then stood up and walked over to Ruby and placed a calming hand on her shoulder, as he spoke to her. "Ruby the matrix doesn't take away what you are it just add to it. If it stays on then you will have access to my ancestor memories and tactics. I would even say that you could be the strongest huntress of them all." Reassured Optimus as Ruby calmed down some.
"So I could be the greatest huntress of all time?" Asked Ruby as she like the idea of that. Seeing this Optimus smiled and shook he head.
"In time, but first we need to learn more about what happens when you access the matrix." Said Optimus as he got them back on track.
Ruby thought about it for a bit before answering him. "It's like I'm there watching the memories. And the memories change on the situation I'm in. But other times it's just random." Answered Ruby as she told them what she knew. Optimus looked at Rhinox wondering if he had something to add.
"Ruby for the time being until we learn more try to not use the matrix. We have no idea what the long term effect could be." Warned Rhinox as Ruby agreed with him.
Seeing that thing were dealt with Optimus decided to end the meeting. "If that everything then Ruby I think you should head home and get ready for school." He suggested as he opened the door for her, only to see Cheetor and Yang fall into the room. As the two started get up they looked up and saw Optimus looking down at them.
"Well?" Was all Optimus said as the two of them tried to figure out what to say.
Yang then sighed and answered him. "We were worried about Ruby and wanted to make sure she was ok." She told him as Optimus nodded at the answer.
"Next time you could ask to join in." He told them as they looked away as they stood up. "If there is nothing else then, then Ruby and Yang you two should get ready for school." Said Optimus as the two of them went home.
Present
Ruby was so into her thoughts she failed to see her sister sitting down next to her until she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking over Ruby saw Yang there with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry Ruby you'll get a hold of your..." Yang paused as she tried to think what to say until she got it. "Special power. And once you do everyone will think you're the bee's knees." Finished Yang as she tried to cheer Ruby up somewhat, but it only made her worry more.
"I don't want to be the bee's knees ok, I don't want to be any kind of knees, I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees ok." Said Ruby as Yang smirked at what she said.
"We kind of gave up normal when we meet our new friends and why aren't you excited?" Wondered Yang as she was thrilled to go to Beacon with her sister, but Ruby just didn't seem to feel the same way.
"Of course I'm excited, it's just, I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything. And then there the whole thing with the matrix and that's freaking me out also." Answered Ruby as hung her head down as Yang then wrapped an arm around her supportively.
"You are special even without the matrix. I see it, dad and uncle Qrow see it, and the guys see it." Reassured Yang making Ruby feel better. They then heard the news playing in the background gaining their attention.
"In current news, military officials are still reeling in from the recent attacks by the White Fang. Somehow the White Fang was able to attack multiple military bases across the globe nearly simultaneously. Damage assessments are still being down, but what the media does know is that the White Fang did make off with military grade hardware and is considered even more dangerous than before." Said the newsman as both Ruby and Yang knew what this really means. With the help of the Predacons the White Fang had gained even more fire power, but the main question was why they haven't done anything with it yet. What are they going to use it all for?
But before the sisters could say anything to each other, a hologram of Glynda replaced the TV. "Hello and welcome to Beacon." Said Glynda as she greeted the new students.
"Who's that?" Wondered Yang as she never seen her before.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch." Continued Glynda, as she answered Yang's question without knowing it. "You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace and as future huntsman and huntress it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it is out turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Finished Glynda as her hologram disappeared. Ruby then went to the window with Yang following her as they looked outside.
As the two looked out, Ruby broke the silence. "She's right you know it's our turn to save the world, be it from grimm, thieves or the Pred's." She told her sister shocking her with how mature she sounded right there. And now that she thought about it Ruby was growing up pretty fast ever since she meet the Maximals.
It was then they heard someone sounding sick and looked over in the direction of the sound. Standing there was a boy with messy blond hair. He wore a black hoodie that has reddish-orange sleeves and what looked like an emblem on the front, but was covered by armor that cover his chest. He also had armor on his under arms and he wore brown wrist-length gloves that had the finger tips exposed and had a small metal plate on the back. He wore blue jeans that had a white patch on the left knee. And he wore two belts and attached to one belt on the left side looked like a sword in its sheath.
The boy then turned around looking like he was going to puke as he rushed by the girls to find a trash can. The girls just watched as he rushed by them as they felt a little sorry for him as their ship then docked with a platform nearby the school and students started to walk out of the ship.
When Ruby and Yang got off the boy from before passed them and hurled into a trash can. As the girls walked they stopped when they took in the sight of the school. Sure Yang saw it before, but it was different this time with Ruby with her. As they looked at the school serval people walk by with different weapons with them.
Yang saw this and was confused about something. "Hey sis I'm surprised you didn't go gaga over their weapons." She told her sister since she was a weapon nut and didn't respond to the weapons that just passed them.
Ruby looked over at her with a cheap smile on her face. "Well to be honest they were pretty tame to some of the weapons we've seen recently." She told her sister as she gave a chuckle. Yang then shock her head as she agreed that the transformers weapons were pretty cool.
She then saw some people nearby as they waved at her. "Well sis I'll see you later my friends are here, so I'll see you later." Yang told her as she rushed off to join her other friends as they all went there their own way. But Yang left so fast that she threw Ruby off balance.
As Ruby tried to regain her balance she was asking her sister some questions. "But Yang I've never been here before, where do we go? Where are ours dorms? Do we even have dorms?" She asked unware Yang was long gone, but she then tripped on something and landed on a luggage cart as the case on it went flying.
"What are you doing?" Asked/demanded a voice above Ruby as she looked up and saw the girl from the news report that she saw with Cheetor about the energon.
"Sorry." Said Ruby as she started to get up, but the girl didn't seem happy with the response.
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?" She asked Ruby as Ruby picked up a case.
"I'm sorry, I tripped and fell so please let me clean this up for you." Ruby told her hoping that it would help smooth things over between them.
Unfortunately for Ruby it didn't help. "Give me that!" She told Ruby as she took the case from her and opened it and brought out a vail. "This is dust, mined and purified from the Schnee quarry." She told her as Ruby as then remembered something.
"Then what do you do about ener… I mean worthless dust?" Ruby asked her as she corrected herself, but the girl caught on.
"What were you going to say? You said something about ener... what is that?" She demanded as she shook the vail at Ruby, and unfortunately for the two of them some of the dust got out and into Ruby's nose. The dust then made Ruby sneeze that somehow erupts into an explosion of flame, snowflakes and electricity around the two of them. The vial then went flying and rolled on the ground until it hit someone's foot.
This person was a young girl with long black hair with amber eyes that are complemented by light purple eye shadow flaring backwards. She was wearing a black buttoned vest with coattails with a white sleeveless undershirt that expose her midriff. She also wore white shorts that have a zipper on each leg. Around her neck she has a detached scarf-like collar. On her feet she wears black low-heeled boots and stockings that start off black at her hips, but gradually fade to purple as they near her shoes. On the outside of her stockings there is an emblem that looks like belladonna flowers. On her arms she wears black ribbons and on her left arm she wears a black detached sleeve that has a silver band near the top. But the thing that stands out the most is that she wears a black bow on the topo of her head and if one looked closely that could see it twitch every once and a while.
The girl then picks up the vail of dust as she stops reading her book and looks over at Ruby and the other girls as the girl gives Ruby an earful.
Ruby then had enough of this and put her foot down. "Well I'm sorry but you were the one waving the dust around. What did you think was going to happen?" She asked her as the other girl got madder at her.
"Well what is a kid like yourself even doing here? This isn't your ordinary combat school. It not just sparring and practice, you know. We're here to fight monsters!" She told Ruby making Ruby madder at her as well.
"I know that, but are you here to fight or are you here to belittle people princess." Ruby shot back as she had enough of this girl.
"It's heiress actually." Said the other girl as the other two looked her way as the girl stopped over by the two of them. "Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." The girl informed Ruby.
Hearing this made Weiss smile smugly. "Finally! Some recognition!" Weiss exclaimed, but the girl wasn't done yet.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." She finished as Weiss was mad about hearing this. Weiss was so mad she couldn't even say a complete sentence. Seeing this made Ruby giggled a bit as Weiss took her dust back from the girl and left.
Seeing Weiss walk off Ruby called out to her. "I am sorry about what happened. I'll try to make it up to you." She told her as then turns to face the other girl only to see that she was walking off as well. Seeing that she all alone Ruby sat down a held her head in her hand.
Ruby then saw a hand in near her face and looked up and saw the boy from the ship in front of her. "Hey… I'm Jaune." Said Jaune as he introduced himself to Ruby.
Ruby then takes his hand and pulls herself up. "I'm Ruby and weren't you the guy that was throwing up on the ship?" She asked as the two of them started to walk.
As they walked they entered a courtyard as Jaune defended himself. "All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem then people let on." He told Ruby as she laughed a little.
"Don't worry at least people aren't calling you 'vomit boy'." Consoled Ruby as Jaune mentally thanked her.
As the two walked in silence Ruby decided to break the ice. "So I got theses." She started as she pulled out Crescent Rose in scythe mode and stabbed it in the ground while she activated one of her Silver thorns with her other hand.
Seeing this Jaune stepped back in surprise. "Whoa! Is that a scythe? And what is that, a dagger?" He asked her as he wasn't sure about Silver thorns.
Ruby just smiled and answered him. "The scythe is also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle. While the dagger is just a super durable retractable dagger." She told him as she deactivated Silver thorns, but he wasn't sure about the gun.
"The scythe is a what?" Jaune asked her not sure what sure what she meant.
Hearing that caused her to just smiled at him. "It's also a gun." She simplified for him.
"Oh that's cool." Jaune said wishing he had something like that.
"So what do you got?" Asked Ruby wondering what type of weapon Jaune has.
Jaune then draws his sword form his hip and shows it to Ruby who smiled at it. He then grabbed the seethe and it transformed into a shield that he held on his left arm.
"Yeah and I've got a shield too!" He told Ruby as she touched the shield.
"So, what do they do?" Ruby asked him, but she had a good idea already what the answer was by looking at them.
"The shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just…put it away." Jaune told her as he shrunk the shield and put it away to show her.
Hearing this made Ruby wonder something. "But… wouldn't it weigh the same?" She asked him as Jaune hung his head down.
"Yeah it does." He admitted to her.
"Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, sooo... I guess I did go a little overboard when designing Crescent Rose." Ruby told Jaune while giggling a little.
Hearing this shocked Jaune. "Wait you made that, but what about your other weapon?" Jaune asked surprised.
Hearing his question Ruby rubbed the back of her head. "Well I didn't make Silver thorns." She admitted to him. "But it did make some upgrades to it. What about you, how you get your weapon?" She asked him curious where he got it from.
"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great- grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune told her with a little sham in his voice.
"It sounds like it's more of family heirloom to me." Ruby told him wondering why he was using it.
But she then saw how down he was. "Well it's still a great weapon. You should stick with what your good with and expanded from there. That way you can grow at your own rate." Ruby told him as Jaune thought he saw Ruby's eyes glow for a second there while she was talking.
But after hearing that Jaune did feel better. "Thanks for the words of confidence ruby." Jaune said as the two of them started to walk again.
"So where are we going?" Ruby asked Jaune as he looked at her.
"I don't know I was following you. I haven't been here before." Jaune told her as they both stopped. Ruby then looked around and then spotted someone nearby.
Sitting on a nearby bench reading a fashion magazine was a girl with short brown hair wearing black sunglass and a darker brown beret. On the right side of her face her hair was longer that transitions to cameral near the bottom. She was wearing a cocoa-colored shirt with a dark brown waist cincher. She was also was wearing dark brown trousers and a brown belt that had bullets on it that had a gold crosshairs buckle. She also wore a pair of dark brown, high-heeled leather boots with buckles. She also had a number of accessories on. She wore black gloves on her hands and serval necklaces around her neck.
Ruby then walked over to her until she was in front of her. "Um excuse me, do you know where the first years students are to meet?" She asked her hoping she could help them.
The girl then looked up from her magazine and gave ruby a once over. "Aren't you a little young to be here?" She asked Ruby as Ruby gave a weak chuckle.
"I was move ahead two years." She told the girl as the girl closed her magazine and smirked at Ruby.
"Two years is pretty impressive. What's your name?" She asked Ruby wanting to learn more about this girl.
"It Ruby Rose." She told her.
"Well Ruby my name Coco Adel." Said Coco as she introduced herself to Ruby. "The first years are meeting in the Auditorium over there." She told Ruby as she pointed which way to go as Jaune then joined them.
"Thanks Coco. Come on Jaune lets go." Said Ruby as she started to walk away only to stop when she got a headache. Turning back to the others Ruby saw that in place of Coco and Jaune were two different bots. In Coco place was white and black bot. This bot had black legs that went up from the feet to the thighs that where white. The waist was black while the upper body was white with the center of the chest was blue with the Autobot symbol in the center of it. Below the symbol Ruby could make out the front lights of a car with a grill. The arms were black at the hands and upper arms while the forearms where white. The bots head was black with a silver face and a blue visor. On top of its head were two octagonal blocks on each side.
Ruby then looked at Jaune and saw a black and yellow bot. His feet were yellow and the rest of his legs were black. His main body was yellow with the Autobot symbol. His chest looked like the top of a car. His hands and upper arms were black and his forearms were yellow. He had a yellow head with a white face and had blue eyes. And like the other bot he had something on his head, but these were horns.
"You ok Ruby." Asked Jaune as both of them looked at here with some worry.
Ruby shock her head a couple of times clearing it up before answering him. "I'm fine Bumblebee, just a headache is all. And thank you again Jazz for the directions." She told them as both of them looked at her funny.
"You sure you're ok Ruby?" Asked Jazz/ Coco as she never been called Jazz before.
Ruby shock her head once more and the two of them were back to normal. She then realized what happened and tried to think up a cover story. "Yeah it's just nerves. You see I didn't sleep well last night and I guess it's showing." Ruby told them hoping that they would buy it. The two looked at her for a bit before agreeing with her.
Ruby gave a small sigh of relief that they bought it before facing Coco again. "Thanks again Coco for the directions, you're a good team leader. Come on Jaune we don't want to be late." Said Ruby as the two of them left Coco while she was shocked at what Ruby said to here.
"How did she know I was a team leader?" Coco said to herself as she gave a shrug before going back to her magazine. But in the back of her mind she felt that Ruby was going to play a big part in something.
After a bit of Walking Jaune and Ruby made it to the auditorium. As they walked in Yang saw Ruby and called her over. "Ruby over here! I saved you a spot" She yelled over to her sister.
"Oh, I got to go. I'll see you after the ceremony." Ruby told Jaune as she went to join her sister.
Jaune on the other hand wanted her to stop. "Hey wait! Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another, nice, quirky girl to talk to!?" He said to himself as he went to find a spot unware that a red head girl was watching him.
Over with Ruby and Yang, Yang was wondering how Ruby was doing. "So how's your day going little sister." She asked Ruby and Ruby was ready to tell her.
"You mean since you ditched me and I exploded." Ruby told Yang, but was going to keep the matrix problem she had earlier quite until they could be alone.
Yang hearing this thought something else. "Yikes! Meltdown already?" She wondered curious as to why she could fight alien robots, but have a hard time at school.
"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice?" Ruby told her annoyed that she thought she was making stuff up.
Yang meanwhile though Ruby was being silly. "Are you being sarcastic?" She asked her sister.
"I wish! I tripped over some girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and then we got into an argument, and I wanted her to stop yelling at me." Ruby told her sister unware that Weiss was behind her.
"You!" Cried Weiss suspiring Ruby so badly as she almost activated Silver thorns, but stopped when she remembered where she was.
"You're Lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff." Continued Weiss as she leaned towards Ruby still mad about what happened earlier.
And off to the side Yang was surprised. "Oh my god, you really did explode…" Trailed off Yang not sure what to say.
"I told you before it was an accident and I said I was sorry." Ruby defended herself as Weiss put a pamphlet titled "Dust for dummies and other inadequate individuals" in front of her. "What's this?" She wondered, don't sure what the pamphlet was for.
"The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field." Weiss told her, but as she went along his voice went higher and faster with each word she said. After she was done Ruby just gave her a blank look.
Seeing her look Weiss just sighed. "You really want to start making things up to me?" She asked Ruby.
"Absolutely." Ruby told her as Weiss gave the pamphlet to her.
"Read this and don't ever speak to me again." Weiss told her as Yang thought it was time to intervene.
"Look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?" Suggested Yang as she rubbed the back of her head and tried to play peace maker.
Ruby then held up her hand to her sister. "It's ok Yang I can't force someone to like me. If were meant to be friends it will happen on its own, I won't force it." Ruby told her sister as both of them were shocked by how mature she sounded. Yang then saw Ruby's eyes glowing lightly and knew what happened.
Weiss was shocked for a bit but just 'humph' and faced the stage, but her mind was elsewhere. 'Why did her eyes glow like that when she was talking? Was it her semblance, but I've never heard of one like that before?' She wondered as professor Ozpin took the stage and everyone turned their attention his way.
Looking at the stage they saw Ozpin standing there with Glynda standing there with him.
"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. 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." Said Ozpin as many of the students were left wondering what he meant.
Ozpin then left the stage as Glynda took the mic. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." She told the students as they started to talk amongst themselves.
"He seemed kind of… off." Said Yang not sure what else to say about what Ozpin just said.
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby added on as the two of them made their way over to the ballroom.
Vale, Beacon, Ballroom
Later that night most of the students were asleep or trying to sleep, but there were still some that were too excited to sleep just yet. Yang and Ruby were two students that weren't ready to sleep just yet. Currently Ruby was wearing a black tank top with a beowolf in a heart-shape, along with long white pants that had pink roses as decoration on it. And on top of her head was a black sleeping mask with triangular eyes on it. Ruby was laying down on her stomach as she had two books in front of her one was so she could write to hear friends back a Patch and the other was for anything weird that happens with the matrix. Since the matrix still scared her a little she deiced to write down anything weird that happened with it.
As she was writing Yang crashed down right next to her wearing an orange tank top that has he emblem on the front along with black boy shorts. "It's like a big slumber party!" Exclaimed Yang as Ruby had an indifferent look on her face.
"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys, though." Ruby told Yang without looking up from her books.
"I know I do!" Said Yang as she purrs and watches the boys, but then stops when she sees Jaune wearing blue onesie and turns her attention to Ruby. "What's with the books?" She asked her sister wondering what she was doing.
"Well on is a letter for the gang back at Signal, I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going. And the other is for…" Paused Ruby as she leaned toward Yang so no one could hear them. "Is for the Matrix." She told her sister.
Hearing this Yang deiced to leave the Matrix alone, but the other thing was fine. "Aw, writing to your friends that so cuuuute." Teased Yang as Ruby threw a pillow at her.
"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school! It's weird not knowing anyone here!" Retorted Ruby a little down as Yang then caught on and tried to cheer her up.
"What about Jaune? He's… nice! There you go! Plus one friend! That's a hundred percent increase." Said Yang trying to cheer her sister up.
Ruby wanted to say something about Weiss but didn't know what to say. The matrix took over earlier saying that if they were meant to be friend it would happen, but she wasn't even sure if she could be friends with that girl.
As Ruby thought about it she then saw the girl from earlier sitting against the wall reading a book in a black yukata that had gray and white as a secondary color setup and she was still wearing her bow. "Hey Yang I'll be back." Said Ruby as she got up and went over to the girl.
Once Ruby reached her she decided to introduce herself to her. "Hey there, we meet earlier. My name is Ruby and I wanted to say thanks for your help." She told her as the girl looked up from her book.
"It's ok." She told Ruby as she went back to her book.
Seeing that she needed a little more of a push Ruby pressed on. "Mind if I know your name?" Ruby asked her nicely as the girl could see she was curious.
"Blake." Said the now introduced Blake.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk Ruby was about to walk away when she wounded something. "Well Blake I'm just wondering what your book is about?" She asked Blake surprising that her that Ruby even wanted to know what it was about.
After getting over her little shock Blake saw no harm in it. "It's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body." Black answered her as Ruby felt like she was going through the same thing and could relate.
Ruby then smiled and sat down next to Blake. "I love books. My sister used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters. They're one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress!" She told Blake who laughed a little hearing this.
"And why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" She asked Ruby wondering what she'll say.
"Well, I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!" Ruby told her as she then realized that maybe the Matrix influenced her a little in that regard, but it really didn't matter to her.
Hearing this made Blake smile. "That's… very ambitious for a child." Blake started as her smile changed to a frown. "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." She told Ruby, but Ruby wasn't affected by it.
"That's why we're here to make it better." Ruby countered her as Blake thought about her words. But before either could say anything else Yang appeared out of nowhere and bear hugged her sister.
"I leave you alone for a few minutes and you go and make yourself a new friend. I'm so proud of you!" Cried Yang as a few people looked over at the three of them wondering what the noise was about.
Seeing this Ruby pushed Yang off and stood up. "Yang people are trying to sleep." Ruby told Yang, but at that moment Weiss showed up wearing a faded blueish sleeping gown that had short sleeves with white trimmings. It also had her symbol on the upper right chest.
"What in the world is going on over here!? Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?" Weiss told them quite angrily as Ruby was about to say something where she felt a familiar headache coming on. As she placed a hand on her head the three girls looked at her wondering what was going on. When Ruby looked at the three of them once more they were replaced with different bots.
In Weiss place stood a blue and grey bot, with yellow and red highlights. The bot's legs were mostly blue up to the under thigh with grey up top and on the front. At the front near the bottom it there was blue. Its main torso was blue with the waist having a silver section on the front. The chest looked like the top of a car with the front having a yellow square that had the Autobot symbol in the middle. Its forearms and hands were grey with a yellow rectangle with some red inside it. The upper arms were silver and for shoulder there where tire wheels. For it head it was in blue box that allow for its head to mode and above the box was two mounted guns. Its head was red with a silver helmet. And finally on its back looked like a pair of wings.
Looking over at Blake she was replaced with a blue and white bot. This bot's lower legs were blue and the upper part being white. It torso was mostly white with the waist being blue. Its main chest looked like the front of a formula-1 race car with the Autobot symbol right in the center with some red above it. Its arms are white with black shoulder and hands. On its shoulders are blue shoulder guards that go down to his elbows. The bots head was white with a blue helmet and next to its head was a shoulder missile launcher.
And finally looking over at Yang, Ruby saw a mostly red bot with some white here and there. Its legs where all red but the feet which where white and looked like tank treads. Its torso was all red but the waist that was mostly red with the center being red with the Autobot symbol. Its arms were red except at the shoulders which were white. And on the back of the arms were more tank treads. Its head was all red except the eye area that was white. This bot didn't even had mouth, just a grill were the mouth should be. The thing that stood out the most for this bot was that it had a cannon on its chest.
After seeing what everyone looked like Ruby spoke to them. "I'm sorry for disturbing you Tracks, I was taking to Mirage when Warpath came over and caused a scene." She told the three of them as they all looked at her like she lost her mind.
"My name is Weiss Schnee, not Tracks you dolt!" Said a rather annoyed Weiss as Blake looked at Ruby.
"Ruby are your eyes glowing?" Blake asked her as Weiss and Yang looked and saw her eyes were glowing slightly.
Seeing this Yang knew what happened. 'The matrix is acting up again. I better get her out of here before anything else happens.' Yang thought as she went over to her sister.
"Sorry girls when Ruby gets tired she makes up names for others." Yang told Blake and Weiss hoping they bought it. "Come on Ruby it's time for bed." She told her sister as the two of them left. Unfortunately for Yang neither one of them bought her story as they looked at each other.
"Then what about her glowing eyes?" Blake asked out loud as Weiss had something to add.
"That's the second time I saw that today, there's something weird with that girl." She told Blake as the two went their ways.
Mistral, Darksyde
Meanwhile at the Darksyde the White Fang were feeling really good about themselves. Not only did they get new weapons and gear, but they showed the world not to mess with them. Everyone was in a good mood, expect for Adam.
Adam was currently walking to his quarters thinking about Megatron. 'At first I thought he was the ally the White Fang needed, but now I wonder if I made a mistake. After what happened with that probe I'm not so sure that staying here is what's right. But it can't tell everyone to move out, they'll never go for it especially with how Megatron has kept his word… so far.' Adam thought as he entered his room only to see Roman inside his room waiting for him.
"Roman what are you doing here!" Demanded Adam as he slowly went for his weapon not trusting the man at all especially since he broke into his room.
Seeing Adam Roman kept a straight face surprising Adam. "You and me got to talk about a problem." He told Adam as he knew what he was talking about.
"Megatron?" Asked Adam, but he already knew he was right.
"Yeah. You saw how he acted with that probe, instead of taking all our force to the Maximals base, he sent most of them to the probe. And it's only a matter of time until he doesn't need us anymore. And I for one don't want to see what will happen to us." Roman told Adam as he agreed with a lot of he said.
"Then what are you suggesting then?" Adam wondered as he knew Roman didn't act without a plan.
Hearing this Roman smiled at him. "Glad you asked, first we could try to take out Megatron, but we know he's too strong for us to take out. So I thought why not make him look useless, like a fool." Roman told him as Adam wondered what he meant by that.
"You're second in command, so say if you were able to do things he was never able to do, then the men will follow you more than him." Continued Roman as Adam didn't like what he just heard.
"What do you mean? My men will follow me!" Snarled Adam as Roman chuckled at him.
"That's not what I heard. I heard that they think Megatron a better leader then you. So if you want them to follow you, you need to up your act." Roman told him before continuing. "Luckily for you I have a plan." As he tossed a newspaper to Adam, who then caught it. Looking at the paper Adam had an idea of his plan, cause on the front page was a picture of the Ruby girl that works with the Maximals with the title 'Youngest to attended Beacon Academy.'
"It's simply really, but we need two groups for it. One group will attack the girl while her guard is down while the other group keeps the Maximals busy. If things work out then the girl won't be a problem anymore and the Maximals dealt a hard blow." Explained Roman as Adam had to admit it was a good plan.
Then Roman realized something important about the plan. "How am I going to get two attack groups?" He wondered as Roman already had an answer.
"I tricked Scorponok into thinking that it was his idea to attack red, so you just need to worry about the Maximals." Roman told him.
Adam thought about it and he liked how Roman planned things out if Scorponok failed then it would be on him, but if he succeeded Roman could claim the credit for the success. And with the other group they just had to keep the Maximals busy.
But there was one thing he wanted to know. "Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?" Questioned Adam as he knew Roman type, they pick whatever side they know they are safe with and stay with them.
"I know what you're thinking I'm picking the side I think I'm safest with. In this case staying close and far away from Megatron is the best option." Roman explained as Adam understood.
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Adam spoke as Roman nodded to him.
"When does Scorponok attack?" Asked Adam so he could get some men and gear ready.
"Some time tomorrow is all I know, that's when she'll be most vulnerable." Roman told him as Adam went to leave the room to prepare, but then stopped.
"If you keep this up I'll keep you on my side, but if I find out you're double-crossing me…" Started Adam as he paused to get Roman's full attention. "Let's just say Scorponok will have had it off easier the first time we meet then you will." He threatened as he left the room as Roman just grinned at the threat and left the room he came in.
Vale, Beacon, the next day
As Ruby woke up from her sleep she remembered her dreams from the last night. She was Optimus and she had to stop Megatron from extinguishing the sun to make energon, and then stop him from drilling to the earth's core and destroying the world.
As she started to get up she was thinking about what she saw. 'Who knew the original Megatron was like that? Willing to blow everything up, or destroy everything just for some power.' She thought as she wondered if the Megatron she was dealing with would go to such lengths. It was then that she heard a lot of chatter and looked over at the source.
Standing there or rather circling around a boy was an orange hair girl with turquoise eyes. She was already dressed wearing a black collared vest that ended at her waist with a symbol of a hammer with a lightning bolt was on the back. Under the vest were two layers of clothing one being red and the other being light-blue. Above the two colors she wore a white sleeveless top that had a tiny heart in the top center. She also had a white detached sleeve on each arm and pink fingerless gloves. She also wore a pink skirt that starts at her waist and ends at her mid thighs. On her feet she wore white and pink shoes with pink lances. She also wears some armor that begins at the middle shoulder and neck and ends by her waist.
Meanwhile the boy she circled had pale pink eyes and long black hair that was in a ponytail that went to his back. In his hair he had a magenta steak on the left side. Like the other girl he was fully dressed. He wore a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long sleeved tailcoat that has red on the inside, and had black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. He also had light tan pants on with black shoes.
As Ruby was listening to the girl, she almost yelled out 'Shut up blaster!' to her but stopped herself when she realized what she almost said. Not wanting to risk saying anything weird she got up and got dressed.
Later after eating breakfast Ruby was in the locker room getting her gear. As she grabbed her weapons she wondered a few things. 'I got to be ready for anything today. I have no idea what they are going to pull out on us today and there is a chance that the Predacons and White Fang could use this as a chance to attack us. I already talked to Optimus about it and he told me that he and Cheetor were going to head out later and keep watch, but I can't shake this feeling.' She thought as her gut said something was going to happen today. As she put Crescent rose in its place on her back and made sure Silver thorns were ready she felt like something was missing. She then looked in a nearby mirror and saw herself holding the original Optimus Prime gun. She then shook her head and laughed a little bit at the sight. There was no way that was going to work, right? She then started to think about it, but was stopped when her sister came up to her.
"So sis, you ready for today?" Yang asked her as Ruby gave her a nervous look.
"Yeah but I have this bad feeling in my gut something bad going to happen today." Ruby told her as Yang just smirked at it.
"Maybe you just feel that way cause were going to form teams today. Or at least that's what I heard." Yang told her as she saw the worried look on her sister's face.
"Then maybe you and me should be partners then." Ruby told her as Yang knew she was going to say something like that.
'She can find and befriend aliens, but has a hard time getting out of her shell.' Thought Yang as she addressed her sister about it. "Maybe you should be on someone else's team." She told her sister and got a look she wasn't expecting.
Ruby then beckoned her sister to come closer, and not seeing a problem she did so. "Yang we made enemy's and if we have different partners then we could bring them into the beast wars. I don't know about you but I won't do it." She whispered to her sister as Yang never thought about it that way.
As Yang thought about it Ruby looked around the room and saw Weiss taking to green eyed girl who had red hair in a ponytail. She wore light brown amour that cover her chest and stomach leaving her collar bone and arms unguarded. She also wore a red mini skirt with red ankle-length drapery that was wrapped around it. On the skirt there was a small circular bronze plate that was opposite of two pounces that were on her other side. On the plate there was a shield and spear symbol on it. She wore armored boot that went up to her upper thigh. On her neck she wore a large bronze gorget around her neck. On her head she wore bronze circlet that was above her ear and under her bangs. On the head piece there was a pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds hang from her circlet on thin chains. On her arms she wore drown opera-length gloves. And on the left arm she had a bronze bracer on her upper arm and an arm guard on her lower arm.
As she watch the two talk, she saw Jaune go over and but into the conversation. As she watch she saw Weiss get mad as usual, but the other girl seemed to like the attention she was getting from Jaune. She then saw Jaune get close to Weiss and then soon after the other girl threw a spear at Jaune impaling his sweater to the wall, but otherwise fine.
It was then that the intercom went off. "Would all first year students, please report to Beacon cliff for initiation? Again, all first year students report to beacon cliff immediately." Said Glynda as everyone gather the last of their stuff. As Weiss and the other girl passed Jaune the girl grabbed her spear as she left and said something to Jaune.
Seeing that Jaune needed a hand Ruby went over to him and offered her hand to him. "You ok there Jaune?" She asked him as he grabbed her hand and lifted himself up.
Jaune looked down as he answered her. "Yeah, just another hit to my self-esteem is all." He told her with his head down.
Ruby wanted to say something, but was cut off by her sister. "Come Ruby, Jaune you don't want to be late!" Yelled Yang as the two of them left the room, unware that they were being watched.
Later at the cliff near beacon all the first year students were standing on white squares on the ground as Ozpin with a cup of coffee in his hand and Glynda stood before them. "For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin told them as Glynda took over.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of "teams." Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today." She told them as Ruby started to get worried.
'I got to team up with Yang. I can't get anyone else involved in the beast wars.' Ruby thought to herself as she heard Ozpin speaking again.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." He told them as Ruby started to sweat a little. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." He continued as Ruby really need to make sure Yang was her partner.
Ozpin then continued on. "After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die." He told them as Ruby heard Jaune laugh nervously.
"You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Said Ozpin as he finished explaining everything they needed to know to them.
After hearing that Rudy worried about Optimus and Cheetor. 'Optimus told me that they would keep an eye out for us, but are they already here or heading here right now? And if so how will they avoid the cameras in the forest?" Worried Ruby as she felt her platform move and she was launched into the air.
Little did anyone know Terrorsaur was in the air above them watching as Rudy and Yang where launch into the forest. He then grinned and turned on his communicator. "Terrorsaur to Scorponok the two are now separated and alone. The perfect time to take them out once and for all." He told Scorponok as he flew towards the forest where the rest of the Predacons were waiting for the girls.
Well the intuition has started and the Predacons are on the move. Will Ruby and Yang be alright or will the Predacons finish them off.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and for those wondering why I pick each bot like I did it cause skills and personality. For Weiss she think very highly of herself like Track does, but both are willing to get their hands dirty if they have to. For Blake both she and Mirage can disappear whenever they want. For Yang she and Warpath are heavy hitters and enjoy a good fight. I would like to thank a guess review for that one. For Coco she and Jazz are the trendy ones, but are both good leaders in their own rights and aren't afraid to jump into the heat of battle. And for Jaune he and Bumblebee are both people who want to help out in any way they can and in my option are those loveable charters you can't hate for long and can steal people's hearts.
Well until next time.
