Arc 1: The shining Beacon Chapter 1: Whip & Hammer

Remnant.

(Insert music: cold play: Every tear fall is a waterfall)

For as long history could tell us, this land was in total darkness, creatures of the darkness with souls - known as Grimm - rule over the world...us humans were living in fear, running from them, until we decided to take a stand against them.

We grew.

We evolved.

We became greedy.

We divided.

All because of our world's natural element: Dust.

But...that is human nature, to plunder and to lie to each other...isn't it?

Remnant, Vale, Emerald City (Near the forest) east, January 26th, AW 675

"So today's the day, huh?" A young man with dark brown hair watched as the last airship rose into the clear blue sky "And I happen to miss the last ship... great." the last word rolled on as he eyed the ship as it became a tiny dot. Fixing his blue vest and short white scarf he grabbed his whip that was attached on his side with his leather gloved hands. "I really hate doing this...but there is no other way."

Lifting up his heavy bag he slung over his shoulders as he looked at the forest. "Well...I could lose my life, but then again...I'm a Velmón."

As the man named 'Velmon' walked towards the dense and lush forest several cries met his ears as he turned around. A couple ran towards him with fear in their eyes.

"Wait, do you have any ideas what are you doing?!" the man cried out, panting he leaned over to catch his breath.

"Indeed. I'm about to enter the Emerald Forest...why do you ask?" The brown haired man asked questioningly as he crossed his arm over his chest "I am really running late."

"That forest holds dangerous Grimms and who knows what else?" the lady said as she rubbed her husband's back.

"Yes...I've heard about that...but it is of no concern to me...I've faced many creatures of dark." Velmón sighed "If you would excuse me...I have to attend the opening ceremony for Beacon."

"Beacon!?" the couple shouted "You mean...you are a hunter?"

"Yes..." he looked at the place where the air-ship had been seconds ago.

"If I may be so blunt…you don't look the part..." the lady mumbled. Not wasting any more time Velmon turned around and had entered to forest.

"What's your name young man?"

"...My name is Juge Velmón...the successor of the Velmón Family." A small smirk appeared on his face as he watched the two's surprised faces. "Try to remember it… please have a good day."

He took steady long steps through the deep grass. "Well... it's not every day you see the successor of the Velmón household around here. But then again..." he squinted his eyes as he saw a faint outline of a very large cluster of buildings. "It's an everyday thing at a place like Beacon."

Remnant, Vale, Okki Village Outskirts, near Forever Fall, January 26th, AW 675

"Hammer wrapped up and suppressed: check."

"Bag full of good, valuables and prized possessions: Check.

"Clothes: check."

"Book: check"

"Other stuff...check!" the boy with half-long, brown hair exclaimed. His eyebrows are thick. He has dark eyes. Wearing a lose black shirt and cargo pants as zipped up his large bag. "Mum, Dad... I'll be going now!"

"Make us proud dear, and don't forget what you promised us!" his mum called out as she shuffled into the room, giving him a warm hug. His dad looked and nodded at him.

"Akashi Mayhiro...you have made me and your mother proud, getting into beacon is a feat in itself. Have pride that you are going to stand with the cream of the crop...maybe the cherry if you're lucky."

"No...I will become the best of the best...I designed my weapon for that purpose." Akashi lifted up his hammer. His mother shook her head.

"Not even your farther could hold it in his two arms...yet here you are." Kissing him on the cheek she gave him a warm smile "Now go and do your best Akashi."

"Yeah...you bet." the brown hunter in training nodded as he exited his room and opened the door "The next time you'll see me... is when they declare me Beacons top freshmen!"

Akashi had a huge grin on his face before closing the door behind him "Thank god Beacon is close to my home...Lucky~~!" Akashi tightened the grip on his large bag; his weapon was strapped to his back diagonally as well.

"Come what may...Grimms, Students...anyone for the matter: I'll defeat them and become the best!" he shouted as he ran into the red forest.

Both Akashi parents watched him enter the deadly woods, his mother looked worried, however a warm hand clasped her shoulder, turning around she saw her husband looked at her. "Have faith in our son. He may be lazy, but when it comes to it...he's reliable when it counts.

"...I hope so… still, I can't help myself but to worry about him."

"He's our son: have faith in him."

Remnant, Vale, Airship to Beacon, January 26th, AW 675

"Look over there...is that?" one of the passengers whispered.

"It is...but what is she doing here!?" his friend whispered back.

A pretty teenager with long hair walked passed them. Her blonde hair which turned slightly blue at the dangling tips noticed and glanced at them with her bluish green eyes to meet theirs. They hastily looked away, but too late.

"That's Risa Inari, a royal Faunus." the first one whispered "I heard that she became an orphan...after some kind of accident involving Grimms." Her fox like ears twitched as she turned towards them.

"...Speak of that again, and you will face the consequences." she said in a deathly tone. The second one laughed nervously, making her even angrier.

"What's that!? What is a Faunus going to do, shed on me-!?" the boy yelled as a loud impact met his ears, flinching in fear he looked up to Risa, who was holding onto a thin string which traveled towards a much more large spear with a dragon's head on it. Pulling back the staff returned to her hand before collapsing into a small pole.

"Don't ever take me lightly..." she hissed before turning around "People who weren't there have no right to speak about it." casting one more glance at them she walked off. More students entered to room to see what was the noise was about and were looking at Risa as they walked by.

"Idiots." Risa grunted as the watched Beacon Academy come closer. Her frown soon turned into a confident grin. "I'll get stronger...then I will able to punish those Grimms!"

"Ara~~ why are you talking to yourself~?" her fox ear twitched again as she spotted a girl with long light red hair. A pair of black headphones covered her ears as she was munching on a banana; her blue soulless eye stared at Risa with her irises in the shape of blue squares.

'She must be wearing some contacts' thought the Faunus girl.

Her attire consisted of a black jacket and a red skirt, accompanied by thigh high socks. "People will think you're crazy if you talk aloud like that Risa~" she said in a bored yet happy voice "Oh...I finished my banana!"

"Apparently you know me... but who are you?" Risa inquired, she kept her guard up.

"Ara ~ me? I'm just plain ol' Lucy Stripes...nothing to be suspicious about really." Lucy yawned as she sat on a nearby seat "Nice to meet you~~"

"Hm. Interesting. You do know that I'm a Faunus right?" The girl named Lucy nodded. "Yet...you don't hate me or feel any negative emotions?"

"Huh...? Why would I? You don't seem like a bad person... do you have any cookies on you?" the blue eyed huntress asked, making Risa giggle silently.

'What a laid back person... very amusing.' licking her fox like incisors she shook her head.

"I am sorry Lucy, I haven't packed any snacks for this trip..." she said with slight regret "But I would be happy to keep you company if you'd like?"

"…" The red-head didn't react immediately. Risa waved her hand in front of her.

"Hm? Sorry~~ I was listening to my favorite song." The girl said while slightly pulling at her head-phones.

"But you just asked me a question! Is that a way to hold a conversation…?"

"I'll let you listen to it if you want~"

Lucy gave a carefree smile, Risa giggle was raised a decimal higher as she covered her mouth of muffle her laugh. "But you gotta treat me to lunch after~~" she sang as the Faunus sat next to her.

…..Many hours later...

Remnant, Vale, Forever Fall, January 26th, AW 675

(Insert music: Call of duty MW2: TF 141 theme)

"Well this sucks...whoa!" Akashi barrel rolled to his left as he dodged as Beowolf claw striking his back. As he rolled, he un-wrapped his hammer. As he came to a stop he spotted a number of Beowolf circling around him. "Wow...you do like to hunt in packs. I guess those books were right." his cheerful gaze soon turned into a confident look. "Come on then...let's have some fun!"

With a roar two Grimm attacked him. The first rushed towards him, it's claw out to rip his flesh, as it swung the giant arm, Akashi turned his hammer around revealing a sharp blade behind it, in a split second the Grimm howled in pain as it's forearm was cut clean with the hunter standing behind it. Wasting no time the brown haired hunter went back to the head of his weapon slamming into the back of the Beowulf as the exhaust on it spewed out whitish flames.

A gush of black smoke escaped from the beast as it disintegrated into nothing. Akashi breathed out before smiling "That was too easy... one down... seven more to go!" the rest of the pack jumped onto him, but the boy was too smart and fast, grasping his hammer tightly he waited until they were in closer range, before swinging his hammer expertly so he hit all the Grimms in one shot making them fly in a fast pace. That was accomplished by his intense and powerful smash into the ground with the hammer, which created shockwaves. Most of the monsters hit the trees, but some managed to back flip and land softly on the ground.

"Heh. Not so dumb after all… come on then!" rushing towards them at blinding speed Akashi ducked and then prepared the back of his hammer and jammed it in the toe of a beast stunning it temporarily. After that he was flipping back to his blade and he gutted the beast before rushing towards the other two. Jumping high into the air he brought the head of the hammer down to the ground close to them as the wave of kinetic pulse shook the ground within a 50 meter radius, the beast howled from the impact before vanishing into wisps of smoke. Eyeing the rest to the Grimms he got into his battle stance. "Is that all? You can do better!"

The beasts roared… but not very loud before running into the darkness of the forest. Akashi tilted his head in confusion until a loud chirping met his ears.

...You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" he groaned loudly.

(change music: Naruto – Kokuten)

This Grimm had a base black exoskeleton as well as white, bonelike plates upon its back with red symbols. One of the more prominent attributes is the glowing golden stinger on its tail. It also had a pair of large claws that it used to corner its enemies in front of its stinger. It had what appears to be moss or red grass growing on its claws and torso. It remotely resembled a scorpion.

'A Death Stalker!? What the hell is it doing here!?' Akashi felt pressured by the giant Grimm before him. Its white pincers were snapping at him. "I could fight, but this is way out of my league. Unless...I enter that..." shaking his head Akashi backed off. "No it's too dangerous. I haven't mastered it yet. There is no one to back me up...I guess it's time to retreat!" the death stalker chirped loudly, aiming its stinger at him, the boy narrowly missed it as he lurched away before kneeling. "Yep...time to run!" chaining his weapon to his legs he started running towards the academy, he could still feel the vibration of the Grimm coming for him. He dodged the occasional trees that the Grimm threw at him on its rampage.

"...Urgh...just my luck."

Remnant, Vale, Emerald Forest , January 26th, AW 675

"Urgh...just my luck..." Juge sighed as he looked at the forest below that flew past him.

Yes: Flew past him. Juge held on to it's black feathers strongly as the large bird tried to shake him off and give him a painful death.

"That's never going to happen Nevermore, now why don't you play nice and help me get to Beacon?" Juge smirked as the reached for his whip. "Dust Change: Fire!" the whip glimmered before igniting into flames. Juge twirled it above his head before laso-ing the rope onto its neck, the bird roared the ropes grips tighten. The man in blue was proud of his work before walking towards the birds back, using his weapon as an anchor. Juge smiled as he reached the top, the Nevermore was still trying to break free.

"Next stop: Beacon Academy!" Juge shouted as he 'stirred' the bird towards the academy. As his Mother always said: A Velmón always makes a statement on the first day!

The bird gawked again before feeling it's throat close up again. "Ah, ah...you don't get a say in this Grimm." Juge sat comfortably as he watched the clouds go by.

Then the Nevermore squawked loudly, causing Juge to cover his ears, as the noise of the bird echoed around the forest. The teen paled as he took his hands off his ears.

"Oh no." he groaned as multiple similiar cries responded to the abused Nevermore's cry. "Mother also always said that Grimms can be quite resourceful."

(Insert Music: Bleach: The hour Cometh)

As he finished talking to himself, 4 Nevermores shot upwards from the forest, all of them flying towards the source of the noise. Juge stood up and assessed the situation. The Grimms started circling around him waiting for a chance to attack.

"Relax Juge. You've faced Nevermore before…just not these numbers." His senses kicked in as he ducked, narrowly missing the wings of the attacked Nevermore. "Yep…I do have my work cut out for me."

(Change music: Fate series :Let the stars fall down (Juge's theme)

"Then so be it." Releasing the captured Nevermore off its grip Juge retracted Morte Consumptis before getting into his fighting stance. "5 on 1, huh?"

The first Nevermore started its attack, nose diving directly towards Juge, the teen smirked as he jumped onto the bird and ran upwards, making the bird pierce its fellow grimm before tumbling towards the hard ground, the whip wielding hunter unrolled his weapon.

"Dust change: fire!" the whip ignited once again, before Juge lassoed around one of the beasts head and then snared the foot of another Nevermore. Using his momentum he flew in the air towards the Grimm flying before him, untangling Morte Consumptis he brought it back before change changing his dust element.

"Dust Change: Ice!" the hot fire slowly changed back into a brown rope with a light blue haze surrounding it., making himself more dynamic he quickly came close to the Nevermore, tightening the grip on Morte Consumptis he performed a full circle, his whip taking in the force of the spin as he came into contact with the Nevermore, causing his feather to freeze up, the ice slowly incasing the Nevermore in case as it wing was immovable.

"For such 'resourceful' creatures they are not that smart." Juge exclaimed before hearing another Nevermore behind him. He turned around immediately.

"Ah, merde." Juge muttered in his clan's secret language as the Nevermore made contact with him; however the boy at the last second managed to avert his body to the side, landing him on the bird's masked face. The boy sighed in relief before looking at the last feathered beast. "Well then... how about this?"

Retracing his step the boy made is way towards the bird's back while lassoing his whip once again on the neck, the bird screamed before Juge pulled up, making the bird fly upwards in a tight angle. Carefully stirring the Nevermore, Juge narrowed his eyes before adjusting the bird in one direction or the other.

"Now what to do?" Juge ran his hand through is brown hair. "If I deal with both right here chances are I'll fall towards my untimely death. On the other hand..." he noticed the air ship that left him in Emerald city really close, but his eyes weren't directed on the ship itself… it is more the people that were staring at him through the window. He must have come quite a way to lead the Grimm to the air ship's route.

"While that could be a bit hard to explain…assuming that they didn't see me fight the other Nevermore..."

Most of them had their jaws dropped. Only some were keeping their composure.

"Nope. They saw." Juge faceplamed "Curse me on the showboating." Tugging on the weapon he retracted his whip. "Well no matter…I came here to make a statement anyway. And I intend to keep my promise."

And with that Juge jumped high, his aura kicked up a notch.

"Double poussière: Flammes de congélation!" His whip shone with white flames, causing the Nevermore to lose its orientation. "It's over!" Juge shouted as he started spinning violently incasing him in a white firestorm.

The hunter's beloved weapon cut thought both Grimm with ease with the length extension of his dual elements. The nevermore was split in half before dissolving into white flames. Small droplets of ice were falling towards the earth.

"And that's a Velmón's technique!" Juge said once again before ending his attack "Next…oh no."

As the teen stopped spinning he saw the air ship window come close at a high speed. Or as a matter of fact he was already close to coming into contact with the airship in a very painful fashion.

"Oh for the love of-" Juge couldn't finish is sentence before his body became one with the window.

His face was frozen against the window, his eyes were watching the interior.

Looking at all the students looking at him. Particularily a girl with silver eyes and a blonde female with lavender eyes. His eye slowly found its way towards the two girls. A young teen with red hair and blue eyes and a Faunus with fox ears.

"…." Juge felt his body becoming unstuck before falling off the airship, rapidly heading towards the earth, which was welcoming him in its hard embrace. He could now relate to the frozen Nevermore that had experienced the same thing seconds ago.

Remnant, Vale, Airship to Beacon, January 26th, AW 675

"Lucy… tell me I wasn't-"

"Nope, you saw it. We all did~" Lucy yawned as she turned back from the crowd "Ah…it's boring again~"

"Well…..Aren't we going to stop the ship and help him!?" Riza shouted at her, but the blue eyed girl only shrugged.

"Maybe~" Lucy answered softly "Riza, when do we reach Beacon~?"

"The nerve of you!" Riza shouted at her "That man might be injured and you aren't showing a shread of concern!?"

"Ah~ there's no need to yell. If he could beat those Nevermore easily, then I'm sure he'll be fine….besides" Lucy pointed towards a blonde haired man hurling into a bin "This boy might need some help too."

"Ah you poor guy!" Riza exclaimed as she ran towards him and rubbed his back, the teen groaned stopped as he looked at her "Are you ok?"

"Yeah…just little a travel sickness…thanks….." he gave a pained grin. Riza smiled as she continued to rub his back.

"It's fine… you have to inhale slowly and deeply." she cooded down. Lucy giggled before placing her hands beind her head.

"Ah~ This what they call love at first sight?" Riza blushed before backing away her cheeks red from embarrassment.

"N-no-nothing like that! It's just people need to be comforted when they feel ill, don't they?" she stepped back before pulling out a small candy "Anyways…h-here…eat this..it'll help with your sickness. Bye bye!" Riza grabbed Lucy's hand and walked rather quickly from him.

"Hey wait, I didn't get your name!"

"We'll meet again, please take that pill!" Riza shouted as they turned a corner.

"Riza~ What was that?"

"You embarrassed me that's what!" Riza shouted trying the calm herself "I don't like him…I felt bad for him, please refrain from making any more assumptions!"

"Ok~ But you were mean to me again, so you owe me Lunch and Dinner~" Lucy sang and Riza sighed in defeat.

(Insert Music: Naruto Crimson flames)

Akashi barely missed being cut in half, as he spun around facing the Deathstalker once again. "You just don't give up, do you?"

The Grimm chirped loudly in response snapping his pincers at Akashi again. The boy grabbed his hammer before dodging its tail.

"Wrong move buddy!"

Channeling his aura into the gravity hammer he swung it hard onto the side of its yellow stinger knocking it clean of its tail." The deathstalker chirped as it batted Akashi away, making him fly through the air before coming in contact with something hard.

"Ouch!"

"Argh!"

With the change if speed and direction Akashi and the object crashed hard into the ground. The light haired teen tumbled a bit before being stopped by a tree.

"Ow ow ow ow…" Akashi rubbed his arm before seeing something dressed in blue. "Hey…" biting back the pain Akashi dragged his hammer over the ground, the grass being destroyed with each pull. "Hey….are you alright?"

"Ugh... give me a moment….my head is spinning... I think I just fought 5 Nevermore and collided with an airship…" the man groaned. Akashi was stunned before hearing the annoying chirp again.

"God damn!" looking at the man, he lifted him over his shoulder before walking towards the tree he collided with, setting him down he placed his bag down next to him. "If it's not going to give me a break, then its time I take care of it."

"Urgh… I also think I may have a concussion…" the man groaned once again.

"Then try to stay awake, I'll be finished with it in a second."

"...what are you talking about?"

"Deathstalker. It's been following me since Forever Fall." Akashi giggled as the man groaned in dissatisfaction.

"Easy there! I tend to avoid them, but I've had plenty encounters with them in the past, give me 5 minutes. And don't fall asleep…I don't want to have to perform CPR on you."

(Insert music: Two steps from hell: Nero (Akashi's theme)

As if it heard him, the wounded Deathstalker crashed through the dense trees, it was chirping loudly as its many eyes placed on Akashi. "Come on then, let's have fun!"

At a fast pace the Grimm charged at him, only to be forced back as the teen swung his hammer.

'Good, to save time… I'm going for 5 heavy hits or 10 quick hits.' Akashi thought as he watched the Grimm get back up. 'Deathstalkers have hard armor protecting their head, it will take a while to break it. On the other hand it's stinger is gone, but the tail can still become a nuisance…..fine then.'

Running towards the large beast he retracted his hammer. Before he switched to the hammer's blade, focusing on the creature's movement he quickly ran towards its leg, before the Grimm could beat him down with his pincers, becoming a blur the pincers missed him, only hitting the ground. "I've got you now!"

If only that Grimm were as dumb as the Nevermore.

Jumping out of Akashi's range of attack the grimm stayed in the air, its shadow incasing everything it was going to land on….includinging the boy.

"That's new." Akashi sighed as the death stinger landed on top of them with sickening crunch. Rubbing his body onto the ground to make sure the foe was dead the deathstalker snapped its claws in victory before eyeing its new prey. The man was still trying to shake off the shellshock, but to no avail.

Taking its time the Grimm rose from the position and then made its way towards the new prey. Before feeling a slight tug on the wounded tail.

"You shouldn't think that I'm done yet!" Akashi screamed as he dug the hammers blade deeper into the crack shell of the tail.

Chirping in annoyance the stalker tried to attack him, but the boy only gave a bloody grin as started spinning the Grimm around, the weight of his gravity hammer shifted onto Akashi as each spin became more violent and dangerous.

"It's time I showed you why you don't mess with Akashi Mayhiro!" the blade left the Deathstaker, making it crash hard into a pile of trees as it toppled over. The boy panted before gripping his hammer tightly and jumped high, his weapon high above him as he activated its trusties.

"Saishū eikyō: Zero G!" the hunter yelled as he brought to hammer over the deathstalker, crushing it hard shell and it's body.

The tree that fell rose up, as if there was no gravity holding them down before dissolving into dust, the Deathstalker gave out before it's body vanished into black dust.

(End music)

Akashi landed on the ground with one knee as he panted heavily "Hah aah...that was fun!" Akashi felt like his aura was still going strong "But...the Grimm was smart." the browned haired boy looked around to find himself inside a 6 foot crater. "Right...I should limit Zero G..."

The sound of the airship ran in his ears as he watched the the aircraft fly over them. "Huh? That looks like it's going to land. I must be close to beacon..." Akashi saw that his clothes were torn and bloodied from the fighting "Right...lucky mum told me to carry an extra pair of clothes." It might tell people a lot about Akashi's parents that they think that far. His mind snapped back into action. "Of crap, that guy!" he jumped out of the hole and ran (in pain) towards the man that was shifting back and forth. "Hold on, I'll patch you up." Akashi nodded as he tilted the man head back and open his eye lids.

The man was still in a daze "It looks like a concussion, but you won't die from it, I did break your fall... why did you fall form the sky?

"Nevermore...attacked...me..." he groaned as Akashi pulled out a first aid box.

"I see...what's your name?"

"Juge Velmón, a 1st year at beacon." Akashi was surprised before pulling up the man's sleeve, his arm was bloodied but his aura was working to repair it, gently straightening out his arm he wrapped the white bandages around it.

"I see, I'm Akashi Mayhiro, 1st year at beacon too."

"Hahaha... and here I thought I was the only one crazy enough to travel on foot."

"You travel on foot? How did you get onto a Nevermore?"

"You see...I got tired of walking and saw a Nevermore just sitting there...so I might have used it to travel to Beacon... it kind of went downhill after that."

"'that so. Can you stand? I've patched you up." Juge nodded as Akashi held out his hand grabbing it he stood up. "Judging by the airship, Beacon should be an hour away. Assuming that we don't run into anymore Grimms.

"I agree... I may be capable but fighting any more than that...my aura is near depletion already." Juge gave a weak chukle as Akashi slung Juge arm over him, giving him support he picked up his bag and continued to walk towards the academy.

….Many Hours later...

Remnant, Vale, Beacon Acadamy, January 26th, AW 675

"Hm...so this is Beacon Academy." Riza gasped as she marveled the build structure, Lucy only yawned.

"Ah~...That's nice..." Riza rolled her eyes as she watched the new students make their way.

"Oi let's go!"

"Hold on don't leave me."

"Sorry, but I've got friends to catch up with!"

"Hey Sis! Where your going?!"

Lucy sighed before grabbing her friend's hand. "Let's go~" the faunus nodded before looking back at Emerald Forest.

"I just hope he's ok..."

"Ara? You mean 'whip guy'? I guess~" Lucy mind wandered of topic making the Faunus growl.

"And you still aren't showing any concern."

"Riza~ I told you that that if someone can kill a Nevermore like that...then he'll be fine...besides the academy would have found him by now~"

"I guess your right." Riza said in a small voice before Lucy dragged her towards the group of students.

"Hey! Wait up!" Lucy and Riza looked behind them, seeing the blonde teen running towards them.

A teenage boy with messy blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He wears a white chest plate and shoulder armor. Under the armor, he wears a black hoodie with reddish-orange sleeves. He also wears blue pants with a white patch on the left knee, and black shoes. He has two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, and one has a small pouch on it. He wears brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and a small metal plate on the back.

"Ah! It's you!" Riza smiled at him "Good to see that your ok!"

"Hehe thanks...I'm Juane by the way, Jaune Arc, thanks for helping me back there." Jaune smiled at them.

"Riza Inari, and this here is my Friend Lucy Stripes."

"Hello~"

"Riza...you mean the Royal Faunus from the Inari family?!" Jaune squealed before looking at Lucy "How can you act like that?"

"Like what~?"

"Like that! You friend is Riza Inari!"

"I hey...I'm not that famous you know..." Riza tried to calm the blonde teen down making as gesture to quiet down. Juane looked at her before sighing.

"But-"

"It's flattering that you know me, but please don't bring up my past again..." her voice quivered before shaking her head.

"I...understand." Jaune nodded.

Suddenly a explosion meet their ears seeing a cloud of red blue and white incasing two figures.

"Wah...an explosion~" Lucy said flatly. Jaune looked over to the Faunus girl.

"Is she always that lay back?"

"Apparently yes." the blonde fox girl sighed "But...she is interesting once you get to know her."

"Unbelievable!" a shrilled voice interrupted their small talk.

A young girl, dressed primarily in light blue, white, and some red. She wears a pale blue bolero jacket over a similarly colored thigh-length dress with a piece of black lace making up the neckline of the dress. The inside of the bolero is red and the sleeves turn blue as they get closer to her wrists. The bolero has the Familiar crest on the back that bears a resemblance to a snowflake.

"This is exactly that kind of thing I was talking about!" she continued her verbal assault of a girl with dark red hair, a few centimeters below her.

"I'm really sorry!" the red haired girl tried apologizing but the girl in white wouldn't stop there.

"You complete dolt!"

"Wow~ she's really mean~" Lucy tilted her head "Someone should talk to her~"

"Lucy, I think you trying to break it up would cause more chaos." Riza pointed out "I think we should just let things settle before talking to her."

"Agreed…..but that Weiss...she's something."

"I know right she-" Riza turned around to see Jaune with a dreamy look in his eyes. "Oh."

"What are you even doing here?" The girl called Weiss shouted "Aren't you a little young to attend Beacon?"

"Well-"

"You do know that this place is for Hunters and Huntresses you know!" Weiss stated with pride. "We're here to fight monsters, so watch where you're going!"

"Hey, I said I was sorry princess!" the girl in the red cloak shot back.

"It's Heiress actually."

Everyone eyes looked up towards a girl with black eyes and a rather large bow on top of her head. She has long, wavy black hair, and her eyes are amber, complemented by light purple eye shadow flaring backwards. Her eyes are slightly tilted upwards at the ends, giving her a somewhat catlike appearance.

"Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee dust company, one of the worlds biggest mine quarries in the world."

"Finally, some recognition!" Weiss stated glaring at the red haired girl.

"The same company, infamous for its controversial laborer force and questionable business partners."

Lucy couldn't help but giggle at that, her giggle turned into laughter as she saw the heiress's face turn red from embarrassment.

"The nerve- how dare-" taking a step towards the girl in black, she snatched a container of red dust and stormed off.

"I'm sorry!" the red in the red cloak called out, however Weiss ignored her and walked of. "I guess I'm not the only one to have a rough first day-" looking at the previous position of the black haired girl, she was nowhere to be found...

Walking past the group her yellow eyes meet Riza's aqua blue eyes. Looking at each other the two gave a quick nod.

"Riza."

"Belladona."

The woman named Belladona gave one last glance before walking off.

"To think that she would be attending Beacon...wait."

She looked around.

"Where's Lucy and Jaune?"

"So much for first impressions... welcome to Beacon..." the girl with dark hair sank to her knees and watched the blue sky in sadness.

"H-hey. I'm Jaune."

"Ruby." Ruby replied back. "Are you the guy that threw up on the ship?" Jaune rubbed his head.

"Probably. B-but I got medicine and it was all better!"

"Cheer up~ I'll give you some pocky if you stop being sad~" the girl squeaked as two blue eye stared over her. Quick sitting up Lucy noticed she had silver eyes. "Ara? Your eyes look cool~" Lucy smiled at her gently. Before the girl could speak Lucy pulled of a small box of pocky, "Here~ you'll feel better~"

"Ah...thanks." the girl slowly took out a chocolate stick and nibbled on it.

"Feeling better?" the girl looked up to see Jaune look at her. Nodding in responsive Jaune smiled back.

"Lucy Stripes. Nice to meet you~" Lucy munched on another pocky "Riza~"

"Come on" the Faunus huffed at both of them "If you are going to talk to her, at least... include me." the Faunus looked over to Ruby. She pointed at herself.

"My name is Riza Inari. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks for asking." Ruby gave a small smile before looking at both Jaune and Riza. "Weren't you the one that scared those two boys out of their pants?" Riza got flustered before nodding.

Lucy started looking around. "Lucy, what's wrong?"

"Ara~ Everyone is gone~" the group looked around.

"Lucy...how did you know?"

"Huh? I just knew~~ Everyone's aura was gone."

"Maybe we should head for the main hall now?" Riza asked set on the goal ahead.

Jaune looked for some signs and saw one saying 'Great Hall'. He waved in its direction "Look we have to go this way!" He ran down the footpath at high speed.

"Wait I think I read something about that in the Beacon brochure. The 'Great Hall' isn't the main hall. Jaune, wait!" She yelled after him, but he was already gone.

"I... will go fetch him. I am really fast, actually!" Ruby said and also disappeared. The two of them were way too fast and soon out of the girls reach.

"Should we head for the main hall? We will meet those two on the way... sooner or later."

"Okay~ Can we go for lunch first?"

Riza shook her head with a small sigh and started walking to the ceremony.

…...In the Interest of time...

Remnant, Vale, Beacon Academy- Courtyard, January 26th, AW 675

Not much later they reunited with the two and started talking vigorously.

"Did you guys see that guy take on those Nevermores!?" Ruby cried out as she jumped in front of them, waving her harm wildly "He was all like wohhh and HIYAAAA!" she started twirling around "Oh oh! What about when those Nevermore froze up and exploded!? That was way too cool!"

"He was hard to overlook. Hitting the window and all..."

"I know right!?" Jaune agreed, as did Riza. "I mean, you don't see someone handle a Nevermore like that!" Cupping his chin as he looked at the sky "You think he's new here?"

"With moves like that I don't think he's a 1st year~ Maybe a 3rd year on some mission~" Lucy pointed out before guesting anyone to take her pocky, Ruby got a couple, as did Jaune. Riza declined.

"Maybe..." Ruby ended the conversation before silence filled the air "So I have this." Ruby took her weapon that quick changed into a large scythe. Causing Riza and Jaune to jump. "I showed it to Jaune already though."

"Whoa! Is that a Scythe!?" Ruby giggled while she nodded.

"Yep! It's also a customizable high velocity sniper rifle." she said with pride.

"What was that again...?" Jaune looked at her blank with his mouth open; Riza elbowed him in the side. "Ouch!"

"She means it's a gun" she said before glancing at Ruby "And you shouldn't have raised your weapon like that, you could have cut someone!" Ruby averted her eyes to the ground before her weapon retracted back. She kicked the ground and she moved her arm behind her.

"Sorry..."

"Ah~ don't be like that Riza~ I think your weapon is cool~" Lucy smiled as she slung her arm over Ruby.

"Aw thanks!" Ruby's eyes brightened again "SO what do you guys have?"

"Just this spear." Riza pulled out a small pole before chnging it into a larger staff with a dragon head on it by simple button press. "It explodes with anything it touches." Riza smirked before throwing the lance into the air and catching it, turned into a small gun "Like yours: it's also a gun."

"Ohhh!" Ruby eye gleamed at the gun.

"Well... I got this sword. Like Ruby said... it's a classic." Jaune pulled out a basic sword and shield. Ruby nodded at Jaune's weapon. "And this shield too, it collapses if I get tired of carrying it."

"But...isn't that the same weight?" Riza pointed it out, Jaune looked defeated and embarrassed.

"Yeah I guess...you are right...again..."

"Ah~ Don't be saddened Jaune, lookie~" the sound of two swords unsheathing met their ears as the 3 looked at Lucy which held two katanas, one pure white and one pure black. "See...I have weapons like yours too~" Lucy smiled. Jaune smiled before walking towards her.

'Where did she pull those out from?' Riza wondered, but kept it to herself.

"There's someone that has basic weapons like me?!"

"Yeah...These are my grandma's~"

"Really!?" Jaune yelled "My sword is from my great, great grandpa!" Jaune smiled.

"Really~?" Lucy grinned.

"May I hug you?" Jaune blurted out with manly tears before covering his mouth. "I mean...I didn't-"

"Here~" Lucy wrapped her arm around the boy causing him to blush hard. Letting go Lucy sheathed her swords. "I like giving hugs...since we have similiar swords you can hug me anytime~"

"..." Jaune was frozen on the spot.

Then he fainted.

"Was that necessary Lucy?" Riza raised an eyebrow. Ruby giggled.

"What~?"

All three of them picked up Jaune. "It's lucky we met you two. I don't think we would have found our way again... without a landmark of some kind." Ruby laughed happily.

Remnant, Vale, Beacon Academy- Hall, January 26th, AW 675

The four made their way towards the hall where everyone gathered.

"Ruby! Over here I saved you a spot!" Ruby looked over to see a blonde girl waved her over.

"I have to go, will you guys be okay?" She asked. Riza and Lucy nodded. "Great, it was nice meeting you!"

"Likewise, goodbye Ruby!" Riza smiled as Ruby disappeared into the crowd. "Come Lucy let's go."

"Sure~" Lucy sang as she hoisted the sleeping Jaune on her shoulder.

"No Mommy…just five more minutes…" he mumbled in his sleep. Riza rolled her eyes as the two found comfortable spots.

"I wonder what this is all about~" Lucy mumbled as she tried to eat her pocky, but Jaune's hand was stopping her from doing that.

"Obviously the headmaster will want to say something, speaking of which" her faunus eyes flickered over the a woman with light blonde hair.

She appears to be a middle-aged woman that has very light blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are emerald green and she wears thin rectangular glasses. She has teal, hanging earrings with a small bead identical to her earrings on her collar. She wore a white long-sleeved suit that exposes part of her chest, and puffy sleeves that tighten near the wrist before spreading back out near her hands. Her lower body has a black business skirt with buttons running in a vertical line up the front of it and lighter black-brown stockings. She wears black boots with brown heels, and wears a torn cape that is purple inside and black on the outside, decorated by a row of diamond-shaped brown beads going horizontally across her cape.

"Please everyone, may I have your attention." She spoke calmly; Lucy looked at her and whistled impressed.

"Ah, That's Glynda Goodwitch, she's a pretty good huntress…and she's also pretty~"

"I see." Riza said before looking at Jaune "Are you going to wake up soon?"

"Everyone, I'm sure you are wondering why the headmaster has called you here, but before we proceed any further, I must discuss with you a certain matter that took place before your arrival at Beacon."

"She must be talking about him."

"No Kidding."

"Quite the show off if you asked me."

"Everyone!" Glynda spoke again, the noise died down. "As you all saw, there was a young hunter that engaged combat with multiple Grimms… let me put those rumor to rest. That man hasn't attended Beacon before."

"What?!"

"You mean-"

"He's a freshman!?"

"No way!"

"Continuing…" the hunteress spoke "We don't approve of such dangerous behaviour and once you all attend this academy the rules will be enforced strictly."

Glynda waited for the murmurs to die down again. "Until then, the headmaster will be overseeing this operation. Without any more interruptions: The headmaster and Professor of Beacon Acadamy: Professor Ozpin.

A middle-aged man with tousled gray hair and thin brown eyes appeared on stage. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a dark green scarf with a small purple cross-shaped emblem on it. He wears an unzipped black suit over a black buttoned vest, with a green undershirt underneath. He also wears white gloves, black trouser shoes, and dark green long pants.

"Ah hm…" Ozpin pushed his glasses close to the bridge of his nose. "I'll keep this brief."

"Hn…that's good~" Lucy said.

"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." Many student whispered to each other as the headmaster walked away from the mic.

"You will gather in the ball room for the night, you will prepare for iniation in the morning. You are dismissed." After a few seconds of chatting something surprising happened.

The door of the hall opened up again, revealing two figures standing side by side. As the light dimmed down it revealed a man in a torn blue vest with his eye fading in and out, he was breathing hard as he clutched his side. Beside him was boy with one eye bandaged and half of his shirt gone, revealing his toned body.

"It's him, that's the guy who defeated the Nevermore!"

"Who's with him?"

Juge groaned before darkness covered his vision falling face first onto the ground. Making Akashi laugh.

"Haha…I told you that you would fall before m-" His eyes rolled to the back of his head before he too fell unconscious.

Ozpin looked at his colleague who in turn looked at him.

"Well… that escalated quickly."

So how was it?
