Hi everybody, welcome to my first OC story ever! After watching the most recent season of RWBY, I felt inspired to make my own story about a team I created. Join team DRGN as they go through their first year at Beacon Academy. I have recently reworked the chapter to include the introductions of each OC. Hope this should suffice.

Beacon Academy; a well-respected structure filled with knowledge. Those who train at Beacon are said to go on to become Huntsmen and Huntresses capable of defending mankind from the creatures known as Grimm. Every year, the airship flies all across Remnant to pick-up all the lucky students chosen to attend the prestigious academy.

The first stop that the Bullhead made was an old village in East Vale. The first applicant was a tall young man with black hair that was blue around the edges, and had dark grey eyes. He was wearing a black shirt that had a strap over it, and had a long blue and light-grey opened long coat, measuring up to his knees. He was also wearing some thick dark pants, as well as some brown shoes, and a sheath which held a long katana. He was also standing with an elderly man who was wearing an outfit similar to him.

"At last, the airship to Beacon has arrived." The blue-haired teen commented.

"Yes Ryu. I only wish the rest of the Yahto clan were here to see you off." The elderly man said sorrowfully, while placing his hand on his shoulders.

Ryu sighed. "I know, Uncle Fūjin. But even so, it is as you told me; I cannot isolate myself from the world any longer. If I am to move on with my past, I must take this opportunity to become a Huntsman from Beacon!" He stated while facing his uncle. "I promise you, once I fulfill my goal, I will reform the Yahto clan."

Fūjin Yahto smiled warmly, while hugging his nephew. "I know, my boy. But even so, I want you to promise me that you won't hold too much resentment from the past when trying to make friends."

Ryu smiled and nodded, while embracing his uncle. "I promise uncle." He replied as the two bowed to each other. Once the airship landed, Ryu Yahto boarded as it flew to its next destination.

The next destination that the Bullhead was travelling was a small village in the mountainside. A few monks and priests were gathered around a girl who had gold eyes, and she also had snow-white hair that was long and straight. She wore a white sweater with a light blue shirt underneath, a light-blue miniskirt with gold trimmings, blue small-heel shoes, and a bow on her back.

"Oh, I can't believe I'm actually going to Beacon!" The young girl squealed, feeling rather excited.

"I'm so proud of you, Gwen!" Her father, Frost Charlotteton exclaimed. "My little girl is going to become a Huntress! You've become so strong."

Gwen tightly hugged her father. "Thank you father, but it's all thanks to your training. I'm ready to show everyone what I am truly capable of!"

"I almost forgot!" As the airship circled around, Frost reached into a pocket and pulled out a small gold chain with an ice-crystal in the centre. "Here, I want to have this."

Gwen gasped. "M-mother's necklace?!"

Frost nodded. "Yes. Before she passed away, she wanted me to give you this; as a reminder to never give up your dreams and to always be brave no matter what." He explained while tightening the embrace of the father-daughter hug.

Gwen shed tears of joy. "Thank you, father! I love you..."

"I love you too, Gwen..." Frost replied back, as he and the other villagers waved goodbye to Gwen as she boarded the airship.

The final stop that the Bullhead made before Beacon was around a small street in Vale, as two boys were finishing up on breakfast. The first boy seemed to have crimson coloured hair, in the form of a G-Dragon hairstyle while having long bangs in the front. He also had brown eyes, and a thin horizontal scar on the right side of his face. The crimson hair lad was wearing a dark blue leather jacket with dragon designs on each side of the back, with a red tank top underneath, some faded blue jeans, and thin black boots. Finally, he was wearing what appeared to be dragon-shaped gauntlets on his wrists that were bronze-coloured with an emerald line on top.

The second boy had blonde spiked hair, with a black Z-bolt symbol on each side of his head. He was a green-eyed boy, who was wearing a yellow vest with a small dark yellow scarf on his chest, with a black t-shirt underneath, though the sleeves were ripped off, measuring up to his shoulders and showing off his muscles. He also wore some black pants with multiple zipper pockets, some black and yellow sneakers, and some black fingerless gloves.

"Hurry up, boys! The Bullhead will be arriving shortly!" An old female Cat Faunus called out towards them.

"So, this is it, huh?" The blonde-hair boy said to his friend while finishing up on his meal.

"That's right, Neos. This is where it all begins." The crimson haired lad replied back, as he finished packing their bags.

"I gotta admit though, I never thought I'd actually get a chance to become a Huntsman. But even so, I'm glad I get to share that dream with you, Damien."

Damien smiled as he put his arm around his best friend's shoulder. "Don't worry about it. We've been pals since Sanctum, and I promise you; we'll get through this together."

Neos grinned back, while patting his buddy's back. "Thanks."

As the two walked towards the door, they bowed towards the homeowner. "Thank you for letting us stay the night here, Aunt Lydia!" Damien replied.

"My pleasure boys. I wish you the best of luck in your journey to becoming Huntsmen!" Lydia Maroon smiled back, while Lydia's daughter, Mindy cheerfully waved them goodbye.

As they exited the house, the airship couldn't find a landing spot, so it unraveled a ladder that the two boys had to climb up. Once they made it onboard, the ladder rolled up, and the Bullhead finally set course for Beacon.

Neos stretched his arms behind his back, while the two of them explored the large aircraft. "So... what now?"

Damien shrugged. "I dunno. I guess now we try and make some new friends."

"You mean like those two over there?" Neos remarked as he pointed at the left side where Damien was facing. Damien turned to see two girls to which the taller of the two had tackled the younger girl into a large bear-hug, while squealing; "Oh, Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees!"

The shorter of the two seemed to have short, dark hair, with shades of red at the end, as well as silver eyes. She also wore what appeared to be a black combat-skirt, as well as a red hood. The other girl was taller than the red-head, and she had long, blonde hair and lilac eyes. She wore a light brown short-sleeved jacket, with a yellow shirt underneath, as well as a light-brown miniskirt, with brown boots. Damien also noticed she has a pair of gauntlets too, only smaller and golden.

"Hmm, yeah. They look like a nice pair of people." Damien remarked as rubbed his chin with his right hand. "C'mon, let's go introduce ourselves." He starting moving towards the two girls as Neos smiled, rolled his eyes, and travelled with his partner.

"Excuse me, are you two ladies planning on attending Beacon as well?" Damien called out as he waved to the pair. The girls turned around and faced the two boys approaching.

"Yup, sure are." The blonde-haired girl replied with a smile. "I take it you guys are first-year students as well?"

"Got that right." Damien bumped his chest with his fist. "The name's Damien Crimson, and this is my good buddy, Neos Xanthos." He pointed to his pal beside him.

"What's up?" Neos waved to the duo.

"Nice to meet you both. My name is Ruby Rose." The red-haired girl said with an innocent smile on her face.

"And I'm Yang Xiao Long. The older sister to this adorable little fighter." The blonde replied as she lightly pinched the little girl's cheeks, much to Ruby's irritation.

"So, what was with that comment about her being 'the bee's knees' or something like that?" Neos questioned as he crossed his arms.

"Neos…" Damien held his hand up in an apologetic manner. "Forgive my friend, he sometimes speaks without thinking." Neos rolled his eyes. "But seriously though, most of the other students are a bit taller. What's the deal, if you don't mind me asking?" Damien asked, with a raised eyebrow.

Ruby blushed out of embarrassment as her sister happily answered their question. "Well, if you must know, Ruby here is actually 15 years old. She was able to get accepted into Beacon two years ahead."

The boys' jaws dropped slightly, as they both regained their composure. "Are you serious? She skipped two years?!" Neos exclaimed. "That's amazing!"

"Yeah, I agree. You must have a lot of skill to have done that." Damien nodded.

Ruby's face turned an even darker shade of red from the compliments, as she tried to look away. "Thanks, but really, its fine. Like I keep trying to say, I'm just a normal girl with normal knees."

"Well Ruby, Yang. I gotta say, you two look like awesome pair. I'm glad we got to meet." Damien stated as he held out his hand.

"Thanks, you guys aren't half bad yourselves." Yang smirked as she shook Damien's hand, while they turned to the newscast being broadcasted nearby.

"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities." The male explained while showing his mugshot on screen. "If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa."

The other newscaster spoke. "Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted..."

Before she could continue, the broadcast was interrupted when a hologram of a female professor popped up. "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!"

"Who's that?" Yang wondered.

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch!" The hologram said.

"That answers that." Neos snarkered.

"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 Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." The hologram explained before disappearing.

Eventually, the four of them looked outside and beheld the view of Beacon Academy. However, the moment was ruined when a blonde boy ran to a trashcan nearby and vomited. "Yikes, poor guy..." Neos groaned.

"Must by motion sickness." Damien wondered.

Ruby looked over to Yang's shoe, and freaked out. "Aw gross Yang, you have puke on your shoe!"

"EWWWW! Nasty!" Damien shouted.

"Oh, keep away from the vest!" Neos freaked out.

"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!" Yang screamed.

Meanwhile, as Ryu was reading a novel from home, he turned to see the four teens freaking out. He shook his head, while giving a small chuckle. "Well, this should certainly be something."

There you go, the first chapter has been reworked. I do hope that this is an improvement over the original. I'm going to be making changes to some of the earlier chapters.
