"Yang, look over there. It's so pretty. Oh oh oh, what about over there? There;s something amazing over there. Oh, Yang, when are we going to land?" Ruby says all this as she uses her semblance to race through the whole ship. Yang was just standing there watching her little sister looks around the ship. Blake was in one of the many boarding rooms just reading away, trying to find a clue on where the White Fang was at. While Weiss was walking around with Winter trying to stay as the lady she already was in front of everyone. The ship were headed off to a new city where Professor Ozpin used one of his favors to keep his school, Beacon, alive. The students were either excited or angry about the moving to a new school in the middle of the term. The disaster that happened at the Vytal Festival was the cause for the sudden transfer to a new school. Many have lost their homes due to the Grimm invasion led by the White Fang but some people fled elsewhere.
Many Days later...
The ship landed in front of a huge gate that was surrounding the city. As everyone was getting off the ship, trying to get a glimpse of the city that laid before them. Professor Ozpin was busy discussing with the other teachers about important matters. Some students tried to get a more clear view of the city inside by scaling up the city walls. When they were almost 9/10th of the way there a huge wolf ran out and ate the students. The wold them opened it's mouth and the students hit the ground all slimy. It closed it mouth and started growling at the students who tried to enter the city with tho others who didn't. The wolf made it's stance to attack them at any moment when someone behind the gate shouted. "That's enough, Aran!" A person came out from behind the gate with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. Everyone noticed his weapons and pulled out their in a second but Ozpin told them to put their weapons away. The person put his weapons away as with everyone else and then he proceeded to walk to Professor Ozpin. The person waved at the wolf and the wolf turned to a regular sized wolf then went back to the gate. The person then said to Professor Ozpin.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Professor Ozpin replied to him after he sipped his coffee. "I came here today because I need a place to provide the education to my students. I am Ozpin and I believe there is someone in there who wants to meet me, am I right?" The person took out a mirror and started writing something on it. He waited for a bit and shortly started talking to it. When he finished, he opened the gates and let everyone inside. Ruby walked inside with her jaw opened when she saw the inside of the city. She couldn't help but feel excited when she saw a whole new place in front of her. She was about to roam around the streets but Weiss pulled onto her hood and said. "How much of an idiot do you have to be to not listen to Ms. GoodWitch's warning about roaming around?" Yang was whistling with her arms over her head with Blake behind her just walking all nonchalant. They all continued to walk until everyone stopped at the foot of the stairwell that might be a bit to high to walk up. The person said something to Professor Ozpin and then started running up the stairs. The person disappeared in a short amount of time and that's when Professor Ozpin said.
"Students of Beacon, I know that all of you are wandering by now why we have to move to a new city, when all you can defeat the Grimm that are in our city. But I can assure you that all your effort would be in vain. We need people who can make the best decision for others instead of themselves. That is why we are here in Death City to continue your studies to be the best Huntsmen or Huntress, we expect you to be. You guys will all start as a first year once again since there is a new education system in place. Four years here and you'll make it to graduation without problems." When Ozpin finished there was a tall person behind him that looked almost like a Beowolf. Everyone took out their weapons and began heading towards the Beowolf without hesitation. Everyone fell back not knowing what had happened, when they saw the person ,who ran up the stairs, holding his sword all ready to attack. The Beowolf placed his massive white hand on his shoulder and the person put away his sword. The Beowolf started talking to the students of Beacon.
"Everyone, hello I am Lord Death and I am happy that all you are going to be a part of Death City. We'll have you guys in dorms in no time and you will be attending to the Defense Weapon Meister Academy a.k.a. the DWMA. " Lord Death pointed to the building that was on the top of the stairway. "Now, if you guys can follow me we'll start with your combat skills to determine which of your team is going to be paired with one of ours." Lord Death started walking up the stairs with the person behind him as with the teachers of Beacon. Everyone started running up the steps trying to beat one another to the top. Team RWBY watched the others run out of steam near the middle of the stairs. Ruby looked at Weiss and she just nodded. Weiss took out Myrtenaster and made Glyphs with it. Ruby picked up Weiss like a princess and started using the glyphs as a speed booster. They got to the top in no time as with Yang and Blake but they used Yang's bike to get to the top. Up at the entrance of the Academy the teachers were getting more and more familiar with each other.
The day ended with no changes because some of the students couldn't make it to the top until late at night. The trials start the next day so everyone had to spend the night in the stadium. Ruby was too excited to go to sleep so she thought she should get a head start in getting to know her new school early. She didn't want to get spotted by anyone so she started tiptoeing around the other people. When she got out she started exploring through the dark hallways. She went through most of the Academy until she heard some people talking. She hid herself behind another hallway and listened in to their conversation.
"Just what is Lord Death thinking taking in students from another city in this time of year?"
"I know what you mean, Spirit and we have another problem on our hands. Lord Death is being irresponsible when Crimson comes up."
"I know what you mean, Stein, I mean who let's a problem student like Crimson handle the important jobs. He has me, you know."
"Spirit, calm down, you have to stay by Lord Death's side in case a Kishin comes in."
"I won't let it slide, Stein, you know what happened with Crimson's partner. Crimson killed his meister in cold blood. What's worse he still gets to attend this school like nothing ever happened."
"Spirit, we'll talk about it later, we have more important matters on our hands. What are we going to do with the new students?"
"They're trained fighters so they have basic knowledge on how to fight."
"The problem is how many of them are going to the EAT class and to the NOT class."
"Well, to my expectation most of them are going to the NOT class like our students."
"Who know's maybe most of them are going to the EAT class?"
"Whatever, let's hope their belief in training doesn't cause a war."
"Well, see what happens tomorrow."
"If that happens we can ask Lord Death for permission to break Crimson's seal and let him have his fun with them." The teachers started laughing and there stood Ruby in the dark not believing in what she had just heard. She started running back towards the stadium until she found herself outside. Out of breath, she looked down at the city below listening to the soft laughter from up there.
"Pretty isn't it?" A voice said from behind her. Ruby spun around and her hand trying to find Cresent Rose but it wasn't there. Her realization was to slow so she stood there having her eyes adjust to the dark. She glared at the person from the shadows and waited for something to happen. The person walked closer to her revealing himself to Ruby. Ruby backed away in a bit of fear until she had to stop at the stairway. The person was the one at the gate and took a moment before saying something again.
"I know you want to ask me something. So ask me some questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities." Ruby shifted around until she had to ask something out of him but something was stopping her. The ability of knowing too much or knowing too little which one did she have to choose. "What is your name?" She started with that question. The person smiled as he was answering her.
"Crimson. Crimson Lucifer is my name."
