Fantasy Beacon: The Unsung Heroes

[Hyydra]

In the beginning, Man was born from Dust. Man was strong, intelligent, resourceful. But his trial was by birth, as he'd risen in an unforgiving world. This world of Remnant was plagued, by a disease in the form of beast. Teeth and fangs and claws turned to Man, the inevitable darkness turned to Man and his creations. Their motive was to send Man into the void, regardless of how temporary his life was in such a world.


However, even the smallest spark of hope can lead to the brightest of lights.


In time, Man's attributes gave them the sight of the one tool they needed to reverse this inevitability, to change their own fate. This resource was soon spread throughout the palms of Man, and properly was it named: Dust.


With their new weapon, Man had grasped the staff of Fate, and had changed the Destiny they were foretold to have. Because of this, the absence of Grimm lead to their uprising. Civilization, life, buildings, technology. The world began to glow in the smallest of places enough to ignite the whole world on fire. Soon, there was not just one Kingdom to rise, but four hammered and forged their way into existence as well. These kingdoms are known as Vacuo, Atlas, Mithral, and Vale.


But in a grave judgment, these lights soon shattered, and were put back together with a bond of violence.

These many years were infamously known as, "The Great War." The Kingdoms were locked in combat with one another for what seemed ages, sword and shield against every other Kingdom, in what seemed as senseless violence when a world full of darkness still existed. Eventually, however, even the largest of fires eventually die. The Island of Vityl was where Humanity's leaders chose peace over bloodshed. Such a day led to a celebratory day every two years, the Vytal Festival.


But the story told here is narrowed down to the singular Kingdom of Vale.

This is Beacon Academy of Vale. Here, those who still wish to guard and protect Humanity train and prepare to live the life of a Hunter. Huntsman and Huntresses are the protectors of Light, those who keep the darkness in its boundaries. From here, great warriors will birth into the world, and others will be announced. From here, the future of Humanity will be forged. From here, the beginnings of a new world are formed.


So, let those who will form it unravel, in this tale of Unsung Heroes.

Eyes closed. Heart calm. Breath quiet. Danube was lost in thought, his hands folded together on his legs as he sat down on one of the many couches rimming the floor of the transportation ship. His hands trailed the armor he wore proudly, his head bowed. After a few minutes of relaxation, he opened his eyes, breaking the silence he held with a gasp of air. He looked around, lips straightened with a bit of confrontation. He was supposed to meet up with someone. Were they upon a different ship? No, he could've sworn he saw his friend board the very ship he rode on.


But, after a bit of waiting, he grew tired. He stood up, yawning as he stretched his arms, shook his legs, then fluttered his eyes a bit. He started bouncing on his feet to wake up, once again looking out the window. It had to be any moment they would finally land upon Beacon. But until then? He simply grew a smile upon his face, helplessly. The thought was exciting: One mighty leap closer to becoming a huntsman! Just like his father and those before him. As the giant walked around, a large sword placed upon his back that seemed to hum with power, he decided that he'd start talking to a few of the fellow shipmates, to see if they saw his comrade.


"Have you seen a small girl with blue hair? Are you sure?" He felt nearly programmed to ask that question to the passengers in his desperate attempt to find his friend. Growing tired of humiliating himself, he started to head back to where he sat. The sword was laid below his feet once more, resting his boots upon the side of the blade, sitting up with both hands on either knee. He panned the room every now and then, but kept his formation, realizing he now had a reputation to uphold. He was a Trojan, he couldn't go about asking questions like a confused child. He wasn't a child anymore. Get it together, Danube was the phrase that continued to swim through his mindset as he waited.

Blue hair wrapped up in a ribbon, laying down across her back, ends out of view. A book in her hands, pen scratching away with what may be abandon, if it were not for the calm expression on her face. It was a neutral expression, one lacking much of anything resembling emotion, at first. Should one read the journal in her hands they would see the excitement she did not show, but as most ignored her, she was simply a part of the background.


She actually heard the sound of someone down the road, asking for a blue-haired girl, and she supposed there was a chance that it could have been her friend, but it also could not have been him. There were several others with a similar hair color to her own on the ship, after all. The book closed, the girl walking up to the windows for a view, it should have been about time.


In the distance she saw them, the tower and buildings of what would become her home, BEACON. She could hope that they would have permanent residence for students, otherwise she'd find herself staying with someone in random. The beauty of this location was absolutely astounding, the sound of beeping caught her attention, and with that she opened the Scroll.


Don't forget your appointment in the excitement of the new day. Thursday, right?


____


Yes, that is correct.





Of course. How quaint of her social worker to act the mother hen. The question being asked again, this time from not far away, caused her to turn around, just in time for one of the other students to point at her, and Saphire to gaze up, and up again, to find Danube. She closed the Scroll, walking up to him instead. "I thought you had missed the ship."

Where: Airship


With: No one in particular


Thoughts: Why am I here?

A tall slim guy walked through the air ship embarking to Beacon academy. He had a spool of wire on the back of his pants as he had a collapsed gun strapped to his back. He wore a leather jacket with an emblem of a bird on the back. He had dark color pants and black combat boots. His hair was black and so were his eyes…it was hard to tell his pupils from his irises. Due to his look people call him rave back home.

Rave stood in the lounge of the airship taking him to Beacon. He stood off to the side looking out the window as the sight before him, but didn’t seem rather impressed. He yawed loudly to himself as he then looked over his shoulder at the other students that are being taken to Beacon as he noticed two girls talking about going to Beacon together. One was a blonde chick with great, ‘Assets’ if you will; and the other was a younger looking girl with a red hood. He didn’t hear much of their conversation other than they were sisters as he was distracted; and no not by the blonde’s ‘assets’ but from his thoughts. ‘Man, how did I get myself into this…?’ he thought to himself as he thought about the past day’s events.

Yesterday, after sneaking his way through beacon, Rave found himself at beacon cliff that had a dozen or so launch pads that looked over the emerald forest. He looked out over the cliff and smirked. “So this is the emerald forest huh?” Rave said to himself as he rested his rifle again his shoulder as he looked out to the forest below. He could see a couple black masses in the distance. “Heh, I can see why they needed my help with his place. There are all kinds Grimm out there; even Goliaths.” He said seeing massive Elephant like Grimm towering over trees. “No new student is able to handle those alone…” He said with a wide smirk as he noticed other hunters dealing with them, to get rid of them as they wondered in the Emerald forest during the time of preparing the test. “Heh, perfect timing; I won’t have to deal with the teachers coming after me for lowering the Grimm population here for the upcoming students.”He said with a slight laugh. “Well now, better do now what my Job requires of me…” He said as he positioned himself on the launch pad. “And Hunt!” He yelled out and was suddenly launched out towards the middle of the forest at high speed. As he flew through the air, Rave looked back at the launch station with a confused look. “You know…I never really got how those things launched people.” He said to himself with a shrug as he flew through the air upside down.

As Rave flew through the sky, he looked all around spotting all the Grimm that he could through the trees. He whistled at the sights. “Wow there’s so many kinds out here!” He said with excitement. From another’s point of view they only are able to see tree tops. But from Rave’s point, however, he was seeing past them as if there weren’t even there or at least transparent. “Now where should I start?” He said as he was starting to get dangerously close to the trees. He then spotted a pack of Grimm in the distance that seemed perfect. “Ah! There we go a perfect warm up!” He said with a grin then pulled out a throwing knife from his pants pocket and tossed it at a tree. Once it was stuck in the tree he seemed to hold tight onto something as the knife suddenly froze a sudden part of the tree that it was stuck in, in ice to cement itself to the tree. Rave was then suddenly flung around the tree as if something was linking him to the knife. Once at the angle he wanted to fling himself towards he let go and was launched again, but not as far this time.

He soon caught a low hanging branch, and spun around it a few time and hopped off like a gymnast. Rave landed perfectly and smirked. “And he sticks the landing!” Race said as an announcer person, but soon groaned as he patted his back. “Man, I am so not use to Jungle acrobatics…Requires more strength than needed.” He said as he started to walk away but felt something tug on his belt. “Aw that’s right.“ He said as he looked to the back of his pants to find his large spools of metallic wires attached to his belt. He reached around and plucked at nearly invisible wires with one finger. They then turned visible as they gained an orange glow and it spread down the wires. The wires lead up to the branch he spun off of and started to burn it as the faint glow spread through the wires. The branch was soon burnt off and fell to the ground. The glow and wires spread all the way back to the tree he threw the knife in. Once it got there, the knife then started heating up and melted the Ice around it to free it. Once it was out, the wires quickly reeled themselves back in bringing the knife with them. Rave grabbed the knife and put it back up. This all took a minute or so to get done, and could have been done quicker but Rave didn’t want to waist the Dust.

Rave continued in the direction he launched himself to find a pack of Beowolves. He smirked as he stuck to the shadows to follow them as he set up his wires all around. After about 5 minute, Rave showed himself and whistled to grab their attention as he stepped from behind a tree. The whole pack turned to look at him. Before one could move, he threw a knife nailing one between the eyes. That enough wasn’t able to slay a Grimm, but what came next did. It growled at him and the next thing heard was a click from the knife and a sudden explosion of fire cleared the Grimm’s head right off. Rave then used his wire to quickly retrieve the knife and tossed it into a nearby tree by the wire as it was too hot to touch. It even scorched the tree that it was placed in. ‘I’ll return for you later.’ He thought as he watched a few charge towards him. He smirked as he stood still and watched them. Two then lunged at him, unaware what was between them. He had set up a wire wall as he stalked them. As they lunged at him and swung their long powerful arms at him, Rave just stepped back as the Grimm’s arm just got cut off as it was caught in his thinnest wire that made it easy to cut things if taut. The other wires able to cut into the beast, but not as easily as the one wire. The two Beowolves were stuck in a web if his invisible wires, struggling to get free, but that just kept making it worse by having it cut in them more.

One growled at him as the other whimpered in pain. Rave smirked watching them as he pulled out ‘Lady’, his customized AWM Sniper rifle, and started to unfold the stalk and extended the barrel, readying it to Fire. The other Grimm didn’t interfere as they were stuck in a cage of his wires and trees. Rave looked at the two stuck in his wires with a devilish smirk on his face. The one missing the arm was growling at him, and the other was whimpering. He snorted at the growling one and up to the whimpering one. “I bet you’re begging for death right now huh? You must been one the weak ones in your little pack huh? Tried to prove yourself just now to the rest?” He said with a sly smirk as if the beast understood him. He then pointed the rifle at its head. “You must be begging for me to take your life huh?” He said with a laugh as it whines seemed to confirm it. He pressed the barrel to its head as it closed its eyes expecting it to end.

A gunshot could be heard but the wining Grimm wasn’t the one killed, but the one with the missing arm and fighting spirit. Rave suddenly changed targets at the last minute. The growling Beowolf went silent and its body limp as it hung in the wires. Rave started laughing seeing the look in the weaker Beowolf’s eyes as it looked at the other. As he laughed he heard a huge roar coming from the rest, as one stood above the rest. It was a Beowolf twice the size of a human. “So you must be the pack leader huh?” He said to himself with a cocky tone as he rested Lady on his shoulder. He then started to run away. The giant Beowolf charged right at him breaking through his web of wires easily with its bone spike protruding its body. Rave smirked as he looked back at the beast as it chased after him. “Powerful bugger aren’t you?” He said then quickly got into a tree and started to hop from branch to branch to hopefully get away from the big Beowolf, which he did. The Beowolf lost his track easily but looked around as it was in a heap of rage at the moment. Rave was about a hundred yards away from the beast as he smirked at it through the scope of his gun. “Now let’s give him a four point charge…” He said as he traded out the magazine with one that had Dust bullets in them. These bullets gain power with velocity. But its range is rather short. Just over a hundred Meters is their range but their most dangerous. “Alright let’s see now….You should be right in range.” He said quiet as he looked through the scope again. He then pulled the trigger and a blue bullet shot out at the Beowolf. As the bullet shot through the air Ice rapidly grew around it turning it into an ice spear that impaled the Beowolf’s leg collapsing it. Rave smirked and manually cocked the rifle, as he had to when using dust bullets. He then fired again this time with a red bullet. Fire just developed around it and once it made contact with its other leg it was then blown off causing the Beowolf to howl in pain. Rave then quickly checked the Magazine for the next two bullet types which were green. He smirked and loaded back up and fired two more shots in quick succession. These bullets picked up speed at 3x faster than the others and the sound the shots fired sounded like that of breaking the sound barrier. The impact from these bullets was enough to blow off the big Beowolf’s arms. It cried out of suffering as it was immobile now. Rave smirked as he jumped out of the tree and walked a few yards closer, before he knelt down on one knee and aimed. “And Final charge…Railgun…” He said as he fired. This bullet, from the start, shot out like a laser from the barrel. As it went farther the laser grew in power and once it hit the immobile Beowolf it eradicated it with ease. Rave smirked as he looked at it through the scope. This might be his most powerful bullet yet, but it has its flaws. It gives away his position with a line of light, and it over heats the barrel and needs time to cool down.

“Sigh…I guess It’ll be traps for here on out.” He said as he folded up ‘Lady’ and placed it on his back in the holster. He then went out and hunted the rest the Beowolf pack that scattered. After awhile of his ‘hunting’, Rave started to walk out of the forest as he had his hands behind his head with a satisfied grin. “Man, that was so much…” He said then groaned. “But expensive! I had so much fun that I used up all my Dust bullets…and those are expensive to get too. I’ll also need more dust for the knives too…” He said as he sighed. “Well at least this job had plenty of money coming in for lessening the threat in the team selecting of Beacon, for those parents.” He said with a laugh as he thought about how he dwindled down all the types of Grimm to almost nothing in the forest. “They do anything to make sure their kids are safe huh?” He said as he walked to the forest edge. He was then greeted by a couple of old timers at the forest edge. “Oh…shit…” He said as he looked at them. He recognized them as the headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin, and his right hand woman Goodwitch. Rave was in no positioned to fight them, and was too exhausted to try and run away. “I should have seen that coming…” He said as he raised his hand in surrender though they didn’t seem hostile…well Goodwitch did, but Ozpin seemed intrigued.

“Classes start tomorrow…Be there.” Ozpin said as he walked away without another word. Both Goodwitch and Rave looked at him in surprised; Ms. Goodwitch then ran after him asking him why. Rave looked at them confused and rubbed the back of his head. “Does…That mean I’m apart of Beacon now?” He said with a sigh. “Well it better be interesting.” He said with a smirk as he looked off to the forest as the teachers finally finished the horde of Goliath.

Back on the air ship Rave sighed. “That’s right…That’s how I got into this mess…” He said to himself with a sigh as he then noticed the news was on talking about that guy Tortchwick and then went on about the Faunas civil rights protest was interrupted by the white fang.

"BAM!"


The male stood up, having been seated on the floor of this level of the airship. A bunch of these kids that he didn't know were currently playing some kind of card game on the lower levels, and he opted to join in. Or force himself into the game. Same difference.


He had slapped down some kind of 'win the game' card, a picture of a dragon or something, and was declared the winner shortly afterwards. When these timid players talked to him about it, he claimed to have been the world-renown champion 'Rave,' a name he had made up on the spot, to which he received a generous applause and praise.


After leaving these adoring fans, making sure to collect his rifle, Shifting Magma, along the way, he went to one of the overlook areas of the airship. He saw those towers in the distance, the distant image of Signal academy and Vale in the background rapidly disappearing, as Beacon came closer and closer. That small smile was as much as he could muster without breaking into his giddiness. To say that he was excited was an understatement, wanting to become a big shot that everyone would remember for years to come!


He slung Shifting Magma onto his back, magnetic locks on the armor connecting to the ones on his weapon to suspend it there. His lightweight armor had its uses, after all, same for his collapsible, long rifle. If it wasn't collapsible, he'd have to lug around something that was pretty much larger than him in size alone! It's too bad that the collapsed form didn't make it any less heavy...


Those two cape-like attachments to the back of his armor fluttered when his arms were brought upwards. His hands clapped together once, left fingers clapping against his right palm. It took all of his strength to not just take out his weapon and perform on it like an air guitar.


He did so have a flair for getting attention.

 

[Evergreen98]

A girl wearing a black cloak was looking out the window of the ship. Her features were hidden under the cloak and it was hard to tell whether she was a guy or a girl. But under the hood, the girl has red hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her weapon was collapsed into a bow staff and was strapped on her side under the cloak.


Outside the cloak she may look really calm and colleted, but she was very nervous, she was going to Beacon. The school her parents went to and graduated from to become top class class hunters. She could believe she was qualified to go to that school. She smiled as remembered how happy her parent were.


' I hope I make some friends...' she thought to herself as she sighed, remembering the students from her last school. She didn't have a single friend, the all thought the teacher were going easy on her. She really hoped it will be different here. She then heard a someone purring and giggled as she looked down see Luka, her black cat waking up from her nap. She smiled " sleep well?" She asked her softly. Luka mewed happily.


The girl smiled again and then jumped when she heard a loud bam. Her hood almost fell off her head and revealed a bit of her face before she grabbed and put it back into place to hide her face again. She looked towards the sound to see someone finished playing a deck of cards and wooing some fan. She raised an eyebrow and went back to looking out the window and trying to relax. She took a deep breath and exhaled ' stay calm things will be fine...' she thought. Her cat curled up on her lap and fell asleep. Again.

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Purkus sat against the wall and beside the windows of the airship traveling to beacon, a small bundle of all his belongs nestled securely in his lap. First of which, and second most important item he possessed,in his opinion, was a small, portable keyboard that he had painstakingly tuned to sound as close to a regular piano as he could possibly get it. Sharing the central layer of the bundle with the piano was the most important item he possessed, his sword Concentus. Outside of that you had the standard bundle of clothing and some essential care items like toothpaste and the like, before it was all swaddled up in a blanket and tied neatly shut. On a more serious note, Purkus was very nervous about his first time attending... well.... whatever this "School" thing was. He barely had time to process what it might entail as he was still in awe of the airship he currently sat on and the shifting scenery down below. That last observation was a rather unfortunate mistake, at seeing how high he was Purkus went as stiff as a board and clenched his eyes shut, beginning to breathe a bit more heavily and drew his knees up around the bundle of belongings he now clung to like a drowning man would cling to a life preserver.


In the midst of panicking, Purkus' hands fumbled to undo the bindings securing his belongings together before sliding the keyboard out and tightening the bundle back up. Setting the bundle beside himself, Purkus now sat with his legs crossed and the keyboard placed across his lap carefully. Staring down at the keyboard for a moment, Purkus wondered if anyone would take offense to him playing out here in the open. His teeth catching at is lip before he looked around, noting how... loud most other people were, surely him playing a song to calm himself wouldn't get any attention. Returning his gaze to the keyboard, he flexed his hands before resting them upon the starting keys, slipping his eyes shut, and beginning to play.

His eyes now closed, Purkus' fingers began to dance along the keys. His left hand was entirely occupied with holding the background noise of the song, a simple, low series of tunes one would think by themselves would be fit for a lullaby. Meanwhile his right brought life to the ground his left had laid for it, rising in higher, more cheerful notes time and time again. Once finished, Purkus sighs and opens his eyes, his head still bowed and looking at the keys. He didn't even bother looking up as he began putting the keyboard away to continue his waiting to arrive at Beacon.

Navy Locke

​

Students were always encouraged to think about what they wanted to do after graduating. Navy narrowed it down to military work (which her brother smirked at, but why?) or jobs which otherwise placed in her close combat with Grimm. It would be a while before she became a Huntress, but she thought about it sometimes. Little colored blocks fell and stacked on her phone screen. Navy watched the blocks built and built on each other, and soon her game ended. The words //Epic Fail!// flashed before the option to start another game appeared. Navy swept her hair from her forehead. Her bangs fell back the moment she leaned over her phone again.


A look of concentration replaced her scowl. The same one she made after losing the phone game the 1st time, and the 100th time. Navy started a new block building game (the 105th this week). The other students on board drew her gaze every now and then. She checked out the weapons first before the people attached to them. Sometimes it was fun to guess where hidden firearms were located. And what secret compartments could be where.


Navy didn't feel right admitting it to herself, but she enjoyed being away from home. Her parents seemed proud to have another child attending Beacon. Even Voltaire, her older brother, with a smile as sharp as the blade he carried, made it sound like she would fit in at the Academy. "Hurry and graduate so we can fight for real. To the death this time." Their relationship had its ups and downs. Mostly downs. But it sounded like a compliment coming from him.


Navy stared at her phone. The screen colored her fingers in flashing lights. //Epic Fail!// Her gaze narrowed dangerously close to a glare. Navy sighed and her shoulders pulled into a slump. Music began playing in the background. At least there was something soothing to listen to. She closed her eyes and listened until the musician stopped playing. And then Navy resumed her game.

HANNROI DEARGACH



​

The young faunus stood valiantly at the window facing their far off destination. *Yes, this shall be my new domain.* Thinks the young man, his pride palpable and thick enough to be cut with a knife. By the end of my time here all will know me, respect me, honor me, people will line up to befriend me from all around, folks will shower him with gifts of luxury and wealth just to be within his glorious aura, to bask in his magnificent glory! and I, And I shall rule this place with a gentle hand that all will love! Of course, he'd need to fight for supremacy, no doubt others aim for the throne as well! Other dragons in disguise... he must keep a keen eye out for them, he couldn't do otherwise of course, his eyes were the keenest in the room.


Picking up his weapon case he gave a small smile to his baby, his visage, the crown, the very thing that makes him the true king he was. With this he was strong, a powerful unrelenting force that let nothing stand between himself and ultimate victory! With help of others of course... he had to have others of course, a king is nothing without advisers, as much as he is pure greatness he was... fallible... at times... maybe... He will need to gain allies as powerful as he if he was to become the king he so wishes... Though that much seemed impossible.


Turning said eyes to the crowd that was chattering behind him he gazed upon the people that, at least so he thought, would his be subjects and allies through the years to come, variable amounts of potential in all regards in the crowd, some plain looking yet dangerous, some rather dashing yet without experience, of course, he would have to wait to find out who is who...


Walking to a small clearing in the room he cleared his throat, puffed out his chest and took one last breath, it was time to gather some friends.





Strutting about looking about as confident as he feels, a near impossible thing to pull off adequately, he made his way through the crowd, making small talk with some folks, getting ignored by a few others, one of which was a rather stinging scoff from a cute white haired woman "Get lost." The sharpest of thorns are always on the most beautiful roses they say, best he come prepared with gloves with this one; And then there were some that seemed almost way to energetic to be contained within the transport... How that guy dealt with that red head was beyond Hannroi, maybe they're together? Love does weird stuff to a man... or maybe hes just... used to it?


Wait... wait... is... is that a cat? Thats definitely a cat... Looks like a cat, purrs like a cat, probably feels like a cat...


Gotta pet that cat.


Wait... cat is laying on a person, should talk to the person first... maybe... man that cat is cute.


Walking over to the hooded person and her furry companion he gave his best smile, hoping to make a good first impression, not many extremely social people sit quietly and stare out the window petting a cat.


"Hey love, cute cat you got here, does it have a name? Seems pretty well behaved if you can just leave him or her out and about like this, though it doesn't look like it'd leave yea for anything right now eh?" he shifted his focus to the cat, hoping it would look his way for a second.

[Hyydra]

After a good few seconds of feeling comfortable in his position he soon looked up with widened eyes for excitement, looking to the small Saphire he'd befriended before the flight. "Ahh, yes. But then again, you were on here. I wouldn't miss it for the world." The Russian accent that once held such a prominent feature to him was seeming to fade, strangely, though it was still present. He scooted himself to the right, giving her a bit of room to sit if she wished to do so.


So from there, his hands folded over his knees once more, his chest puffed out and his chin raised highly. "So.... here it begins." He started, looking down towards her. "The moment we take an even larger step towards becoming a hunter... and men." He dazed off in his words, soon clearing his throat. "I-I mean adults.. Sorry." He mentally slapped himself for apologizing. Sorry? Did he have to say such a word to imply his regret further? He sighed, looking back to her. "I have a lot to think about.." He stated for an excuse to his sudden mishap. Suddenly, he was taken back the first flight he'd ever taken.


' The ship rumbled, a sudden shaking of turbulance. Young little Danube shook in his seat, holding onto his feet with his knees to his chest, eyes focusing on his knee-caps. At this time, he was no older than four, never experiencing any form of unnatural events, not familiar with the sudden shaking of the ship. "Ease yourself, Danube..." A soft, gentle voice hummed to his right, were a sudden, smooth, silky hand took his own, a thin thumb stroking his palm. "Everything is alright..." She said, looking down to him with the most assuring of smiles, so tranquil and calming. He had no other thoughts inside of his head except for safety. Suddenly, a much larger hand was placed on the back of his head, pulling it towards the left, where a sudden kiss was placed on the top of his head. "Aye, there's my strong little warrior." Commented his father, Aithen. A grin appeared upon his father's face as nothing more than a giggle grew from the boy's shear happiness.'


From there, Danube snapped into reality, looking down to Saphire with a shy smirk. He rotated his shoulders as he looked down to the large sword his feet were placed on, closing his eyes for a moment. Then, suddenly, as if to comfort him further, piano music. So beautifully played, but yet it just sounded like an adventure. He couldn't pin down on what kind of adventure, but that didn't stop a small smile appearing on his face and small hand movements guessing where the keys were upon the piano where this beautifully orchestrated music came from.


@SaphireTsuki @Mad Prince of Sanity

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"At least you are here." She smiled for a fraction of a second before letting him have his quiet moment. Eventually she closed her eyes. Something beautiful was playing through the ship. It reminded her of the recitals her mother would take her too at times. Usually when she had done something amazing, or had passed a test, always as a reward. Never, ever, for fun. She'd almost forgotten about that, to be honest. She couldn't remember her Mother's face, but she could remember what she did...


"I wonder who is playing... they are very good." She almost wondered if there was a famous musician here, but it had been so long since she'd been to one that she'd never know if they were. So, instead she just listened, letting her thoughts drift a bit. She didn't know how long the sound would play, but for that time she would leave them be. It must be really important to them to play in front of so many people, after all.

Rave

"A sense of humor makes a tough job easier, then I must make it delighted! BANG!"

Where: Airship: Lobby

With: Beacon students

Thoughts: Let it be interesting...

After watching the news on the holo screen, Rave pulled out his scroll and looked at it. He looked at his Aura levels and they seemed fine. He then started to go through his scroll to see if he received requests from clients, and like last night nothing. He wanted an excuse from coming to beacon. Though he did find it being interesting to go he still thought he had better things to do. He sighed and collapsed his scroll and shoved it in his stuffed pants pocket.

Rave soon noticed a blonde hair guy in white armor leaning over a trash can and seemed to be losing his lunch…breakfast…and dinner from the night prior. Rave shook his head as he then tried to focus on the news, and kept hearing his name being said by some off in the corner of the airship. He looked from the corner of his eye as he saw a few praise a light armored fellow with a huge gun as he walked over to the windows to look out. For some reason Rave didn’t believe it was his real name, and that he was using the reputation that he built to boast his own. Though Rave wasn’t too well known but he does have a bit of a reputation to nonetheless, and figured this guy was using what little he knew to up his popularity.

Rave narrowed his eyes at the armored guy as he stayed by the window looking out it. Rave then discreetly moved one his hands to the lower part of his back making it seem like he was rubbing it. He then touched the spool on the back of his pants lacing some wires with the wires and pulling them to the loose belt on his waist dipping in his fingers in the dust containers on it lightly covering them. His hand then hung beside him as his fingers started to wiggle slightly. This action snaked multiple wires, into a trip wire behind the guy’s feet wear he stood. Rave was just going to lightly mess with him for using his name in vain.

@Zab

As he did this, a small boy started to play a song on a keyboard. This was distracting everyone in a way that didn’t notice him weaving the wires too much. After severing the lines with the strings, literally…Rave kept his attention off the guy to not draw attention to himself from the armored guy. As he looked around the lobby of the air craft, he noticed a few more people. Someone wearing a cloak with a cat…nothing really noticeable besides a guy, who was shot down in conversations a lot especially by a literal looking ice queen girl, started to walk up to them and tried to strike up a conversation. ‘Pride not hurt at all huh…?’ he thought then noticed a female playing on her scroll. Others that he noticed were a big guy in armor sitting and talking to a short blue hair girl. ‘They seem like opposites.’ He thought then sighed as he turned his attention back to the holo screen as Goodwitch appeared on it giving a speech about arriving at beacon. “Hello, and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy!” She said grabbing attention of a few in the lobby. “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 holo-message ended there as they drew closer to beacon. By that time Red and the busty blonde were having a fit as mister air sickness from earlier got some vomit on the blonde’s shoes. “Sigh…Please let things be interesting…” He said hopefully.

The young male admired the coming building, like a castle to a fortress, its splendor rising above the town off the cliffs below. Of course, it was possibly because of the Cross Continental Transmit System tower, in order to give it more range, but the male most likely didn't know the inner workings of such a massive device. Yet.


As that image and voice appeared on screen, he gave a small jump at that, and began to turn around. To his dismay, though, those nigh invisible wires would have been caught underfoot, stepping on a few in front and the foot of his toe catching onto the back few wires. Time seemed to slow as his weight shifted forwards, eyes widening as his hands came upwards from the sudden change in his center of gravity. Falling forwards, moving forwards, his adrenaline pumped through his veins like a disease spreading. Arms going rigid as they moved forwards, he braced himself as his palms met the cold metal floor, then pushed off of it to let his inertia of falling forward carry through. From that push, he still fell forwards, but had more room to spare as his body was pushed upwards due to his rigid arms, essentially culminating in a frontwards flip through the air.


Having experience falling from trees and recovering has its benefits, especially when you know how to shift your weight around due to wielding such a heavy item on one's back.


The item in question almost scraped the floor from all of this, just as he tucked his legs closer to his body and then sprung them outwards. Tucking them in closer brought his center of gravity back into place, his body returning to normal, and then pushing them outwards as he spun downwards from the flip caused them to land heel-first on the floor, followed by his toes, and then a skid from the stopping inertia.


As such, he landed right in front of everyone's views of that screen, blocking out the witch's appearance with his own devilish, toothy grin. Arms crossed over his chest, he was proud of such an entry, unbeknownst that his fall was caused by something and merely thinking that he had tripped. Making the most of one's situation was an easy task.


Besides, the lady's speech was boring. Not like him. He was enchanting, much better at giving speeches if he was allowed to. Saving the world from monsters? Who tells this to kids? You have to speak to them with enthusiastic voices, not with long-winded, emotionless, monotonic drones.

The red head blinked when someone suddenly started talking to her out of no where. She slowly turned her head and looked at the male that was talking to her,"Um..." she started and shifted around on her chair nervously, before registering his questions in her head. She slowly nodded to them, " thanks... this is Luka. She is smart and well behaved. Never causes trouble, she has been with me since I was little" she said nervously looked down at her black cat as she gently petted her. Luka opened one eye and looked at the male, before closing it and going back to its nap. The girl smiled a little as she kept petting her, she looked back at the male, " do you like cats?" She asked him quietly.

Half-way through his song Purkus had opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that people not only seemed to notice his playing, but enjoy it. Some people, in particular a fierce-looking girl who reminded Purkus of some sort of wild cat and a large man in armor who at first might seem like a dumb brute, but his eyes carried a look of thoughtfulness and wisdom beyond his years that made Purkus smile. Purkus then turned his head towards the holo-screen as Ms. Goodwitch began to speak, giving a slight jump as a man seemed to be about to face-plant himself onto the deck, before his arms caught him and he simply flipped to his feet in front of the holo-screen. Purkus was about to give a low whistle of astonishment to himself until he noticed the man's grin and stopped himself. Not necessarily finding a need to feed someone like that's ego any more than necessary, thus he simply turned his attention away as a knot began to form in his stomach at Ms. Goodwitch's words. His right hand giving a small twitch as he briefly contemplated playing another song on his keyboard, before ultimately deciding against it. If he played it too much he might seem weird, and he definitely did not want to push his luck with those on this plane, most of them looked... well, as weird as him playing songs continuously would make HIM look.


Once again casting his gaze around the airship Purkus slowly rose to his feet and took a step forward, deciding that, if nothing else, he would ATTEMPT to socialize. The irony of this not being lost on him due to his muteness and... less-than-calm mindset. Looking back to the people who had stuck out to him earlier, Purkus first drew his gaze to the large man in armor. He seemed kind enough, though he was talking to a smaller girl with blue hair and he would hate to be rude by interrupting. next his eyes went to the fierce-looking woman playing on her phone and Purkus immediately averted his eyes elsewhere, she seemed like someone who may be able to MAKE him talk if she thought he was staring. Lastly his eyes fell on the man grinning in front of the holo-screen, and Purkus gave a small shudder of... well, frankly, a lesser version of revulsion. People like that not only had a tendency to aggravated him but they were also harder to communicate with than normal people as they usually barely paid attention to his signing.


With an inaudible sigh Purkus reluctantly turned his gaze back to the girl on her phone and took a step, pausing once again to consider sitting back down when his stomach gave an uneasy flop at the unfamiliar sensation of being off the ground, and he begin to walk forward with his bundle of things under one arm, and keyboard under the other. Stopping about two feet from the girl before blinking and realizing his hands were full and he quickly began fumbling his keyboard back into the center of his rolled-up belongings. Once it was secure again he turned his attention back to the girl and gave a small, if genuine smile that crooked his lips slightly up towards his entirely-white eye and began to sign with his now-free hand. Bringing his hand flatly up to his forehead before moving it out slightly in something very much like a salute to say 'Hello'. He then brought his hand up touching his chest at the knuckles with his palm facing himself, slightly cupped, before rolling it forward until his palm faced upwards and then pointed at Navy to ask her 'How are you'? He doubted she could understand him, aside from maybe the salute-like greeting, but just in case he made the attempt anyways. In an odd positive of the situation, Purkus' new anxiety over introducing himself now replaced the sick feeling he had in his stomach due to the airship... hurray for small victories he supposed.

Navy Locke



​

Navy clicked away on her phone, her index finger moved at a slow and pecking pace. She pursed her mouth, but wasn't aware herself she was making a face at the game. Navy peered up. Her bright eyes flicked past the edge of the phone screen at someone headed in her direction. At first, Navy reasoned the boy wasn't coming toward her. Until she realized he was. She laid the phone down on her leg. Epic Fail!!! The game cried. Which made her wince, if only for a moment. She straightened the line of her back in the comfy chair. The boy playing the song, Navy's mind supplied where she recognized him from.


Navy smiled at her classmate. She pressed into the button on the side of the phone until it shut off. Navy slid it into the pocket of her cargo pants. She couldn't focus on the game and talking to someone at the same time. "Hi," Navy said and settled her palms on her knees. She hunched forward. "I guess we're in the same year. Where are you from?" Beacon was a place for study, but she wasn't opposed to making friends. A full moment past where she waited for a reply.


And waited.


Navy's eyebrows furrowed at the edges. It took her too long to realize maybe he wasn't speaking because he couldn't. Navy almost rose from her chair in panic. First out of fear she made him feel bad by taking so long to notice. And then from the near certainty she made a fool out of herself. "Oh, sorry. I don't know sign language." Navy said. She scoured her memories to be certain this was true. Her father's rigorous education had lacked an emphasis on language. Martial arts and shattering kneecaps, yes. Sign Language, no. Her adrenaline tampered down. Navy readjusted herself in the chair. She smiled again. Her mouth tensed at the edges in apology. "I really liked the music though."


Navy was two seconds away from asking with he liked phone games. "There's a piano app that's pretty great." Navy unsheathed her phone. It was teal and blocky. The phone couldn't be used to bludgeon a man. Probably. Not like keyboards. "That seat's free if you want to sit down." Navy said, indicating the one across from herself.

HANNROI





The young man smirked at her question, does he like cats? It was a solid enough question, but he wouldn't be coming up to her talking about it if he didn't thats for certain. Though, she did seem the... meek, type of girl so he can't blame here for lacking something to talk about, or at least ask a new person. She did have a good conversation starter, thanks cat. Moving slowly to not spook the poor thing, both of em, as he knelt down to be on the cat's level, gently moving his hand forward, nice and gently so the kitty didn't immediately try and claw him to death, they can be ferocious little things if you introduce yourself wrong, usually just like their owners.


"Like em? I don't know a man in the world who doesn't, probably a few somewhere, but they're weird right?" he chuckled with a wink in her direction.


"So, Luka is it? My name is Hannroi, do you think we can be friends hmm?" he asked the cat, dropping his name for the owner of her to pick up on. instead of playing with the cat, he simply looked back up to the woman who owned it, the smirk not leaving his face. "Were heading to a pretty rough school, atleast in what they expect of us, top of the line students, trained hunters and warriors, its alot to take in, where did you come from before all this?" he asked simply trying to make polite conversation until they arrived, and while he attempted to win the cat over.


Of course he wasn't only asking to make conversation, this person might be one of the people he may be meeting with quite abit, and it didn't hurt to get on a cutie's good side early, cat probably wont be with her all the time.. so best make his face known while he could, usage of the enviroment is the number one tactic when fighting in the field, but it remains the same for many other things, for instance, the cat, while brought by the person he wishes to befriend, it is still something that can be used... or befriended anyways.


"Seems like were almost there." he motioned to the approaching school, he could feel his heart racing as it neared... it was almost time...

 

[Hyydra]

"At least I am here..." Danube repeated, enjoying the soft taste of those words upon his mouth. He listened to the closing of the speech the huntress gave, nodding instinctively as if that was a real-life conversation going on. Rising up, Danube lifted Falkreath onto his back, hearing the steam-punk mechanics upon his back hiss and clamp the sword tight into its sheath, making Danube stomp forward a bit from the force emitted.


Then there it was, Beacon. As large as it appeared, it didn't look as interesting as Atlas, which he cared to point out aloud in a quiet mumble. Still, he was excited. Not too excited, as other things floated through his mind. "Right... well, let's get to it then." He said to himself, emitting a pace as they were nearing the landing. He began bouncing in position on both of his feet, waving his hands and shaking his head. He looked back towards the window, only to see it slightly lower in the view, cluing their landing.


The first foot on solid ground always felt like the best. He grinned childishly, jogging out towards the left a bit, spreading his arms upwards as he inhaled, the nice, cool breeze lifted into his lungs. Sighing outwards heavily, Danube looked to the skies. How magnificent they appeared, even at this height the clouds seemed unreachable, as if an endless adventure upwards. Lowering his head, the new student looked with wide eyes to notice nearly all of the students a good twenty or so paces ahead of him, making him emit a faster march past two strange girls, one as white as snow, the other black with crimson decorations. Was that an explosion? He flinched, looking backwards for a moment, eyes widening, but soon shooting back to face his front, deciding that to not get involved would be a smarter decision.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Saphire herself followed behind him, keeping an eye out for the various situations that were happening. While Danube noticed trouble, she noticed what had happened right before that- a large group of people surrounding two girls before running off to some other thing entirely. While the blond had many friends, it appeared the black-haired girl didn't. Wait, wasn't she too young to be at Beacon? She couldn't be older than 16... No, stop. Not your buisness.


The school though, was huge. Lots of marble, or metal? And plants here and there. The sound of water suggested there was a lake or river nearby as well, it wouldn't do to get lost. She took out her Scroll and checked the free map she'd downloaded, making sure that they wouldn't get lost, "We're supposed to meet in the amphitheater, so it's... this way."


((Saphire, Danube, In front of the school.))

@Zab



Other’s had noticed as well and gathered around the exit for the landing. Rave sighed as he waited for everyone to get off first before he got off. Once he walked through the doors, he noticed the blond half way across the bridge still looking a bit wobbly. Rave leaned to the side to look past him as he heard an explosion go off. He saw the snow princess from the air ship that one guy got shot down from, yelling at the younger one that was with the blonde bombshell. “Hey where is blondy?” He asked himself then looked past the two (soon to be three it seemed) talking. He activated his semblance, which caused his eyes to turn black. He was able to see far past them, even through them. He then saw the bombshell zooming off with a group of people. Rave sighed and closed his eyes a second and opened them, and they were back to normal. “She has friends huh? Shame she was a hotty…” He said then looked back to the guy and the even in front of the school as another girl in black and white walked up to them and spoke a bit. He then noticed something on her head and his eyes widen in surprise. “Lady…!?” He whispered as he took a few steps forward before he realized it wasn’t her. It was a ribbon in her hair, not… “Of course it’s not her….” He said as he clenched his fists.

Rave sighed as he unclenched his fists as he thought a moment. He then looked to them as they started to part. He watched red as she collapsed and looked at the boy in white armor as he seemed to hesitate to walk up. Rave walked up to him and patted his back. “Just go for it…you both seem to need a friend, vomit boy…” He said as he then started to head to the school at last with his hands in his pockets. Before he got too far he paused realizing something. “Wait isn’t she too young to be here…?” He questioned as he looked back at red over his shoulder. “Hm…So that’s what you into Ozpin, though you have a nice looking witch by your side huh?” He said with a chuckle as thoughts went through his head as he continued to the school.

Rave then found a file of dust on the ground as he walked the path and picked it up and looked at it. “Hmm, it’s good to find a refill of dust soon after using some.” He said with a smirk as he recognized the symbol. He then pocketed it and continued on as he whistled.

​

As Rave was watching the holo screen of Goodwitch, he felt a jerk of the wires under his booted foot which caused him to glance at the guy using his name. He then smirked to himself as he watched the guy fall forward about to fall on his face due to him. ‘That’s for using my name…’ He thought then looked back to the screen. He then heard the scraping of his weapon on the floor and looked to see his work done with the smirk he had. He was then disappointed as the guy tucked and rolled out of the situation he was in and into everyone of the hologram of Goodwitch over there.​

Rave frowned at the sight and sighed. “Guess students of beacon can be prepared at a moment’s notice…” He said to no one but himself before he lifted the foot that was on the wires, and tabbed the steel toes on the floor roughly a few times causing the hidden knife in the sole of his boot to drop pass the point in his boot that bends at the toes. He then arched his toes and caught the wires between the boot and the knife’s blade. He tapped his heal once and a click like something was pressed sounded but it was really quiet.

Soon the wires started to glow a redish orange color, all the way to the ends of them, burning them free that they were tied too. Once the wires weren’t taut, Rave reached around to the spool on his belt and pressed the button on the side which drew the wire back to the spool quickly leading from his boot’s sole.

Once that was done, he tapped his heel again making another low click and preceded to slide the boot on the ground a bit to set the knife back in his sole of his boot properly before he walked up to the guy he tried to trip a moment ago. As he walked away, he left a dark scorch mark of his boot print on the floor where he stood. He walked up and patted the guy on his shoulder as he walked past him. “You deserve to be part of the academy….” He said as he continued to the other end of the air ship as he noticed they were landing soon.

"Eh?"


The young male turned towards the source of the voice, and the hand that patted him down. His head was mostly covered by that helmet he wore with the monocular lens strapped to the top, and connected to the helmet itself through the strap that ran to both ears. The ears themselves were covered by hubcap-like metal circles, with openings and holes in them both to allow sound to come through. The entire setup gave him the appearance of wearing a metallic aviator's cap, though the function was much less so.


"Uh, thanks, guy. I suppose."


The soon-to-be-student's view followed him as he walked away. Eyes squinted, his right hand was brought upwards to his mouth with a curious 'hmm...' noise. He glanced behind himself, looking about, but then saw that their destination was fast approaching.


Fast approaching.


Still too slow.


With a groan, the eccentric male turned heel and began to sprint inside of the belly of this airship, rounding corners, up stairs, sliding over railings. It wasn't until he was sprinting out of the chambers of the airship and onto the observation deck that he got a closer, more personal view of the incoming cliff. With a glint in his eyes, they began to narrow as his arms came up. Making slight movements with his hands, as if measuring distance, velocity, and everything, his legs slowly began to backpedal as he did so. One step back, another, and another, he gave a two second pause, and then ran at the railing, full-sprint.


A leaping vault, his armored shoes clanged against the railing before springing off of that, as well. He made the jump even before the ship would begin to turn for a sideways disembark. Even as the airship still had a little bit of cliffedge before it reached the, ah, edge of the cliff, his leap was still made nonetheless. An expanse of doom passed underneath his glorious laugh, even as he began to descent and lose momentum.


Just as it would seem that his leap wouldn't make it, his front half crossed over onto the edge, and ducking into a tight roll brought the rest of his body with him. He still used what momentum he had left to culminate into another sprint, running away from the landing of the airship and towards the school grounds. Clumps of students who were already at the academy blocked his way, which he effortlessly slid, jumped over, and angled his way through, along with leaving phrases such as 'S'cuse,' 'Coming through,' 'Pardon, madame,' and 'You're in my way, sir!' Passing through suitcase dollies and mounds of backpacks with grace and ease, it wouldn't be long before he reached that statue at the end of the way. At full sprint and another leap, his right arm extended upwards, grasping onto the outstretched clawed arm of the stone Grimm, the momentum causing him to do a full rotation around the smooth material until he left go at the start of the upwards arc. A flip through the air, he redirected himself so that he landed atop the tallest figure's shoulders, slowly coming down off his high as he relaxed his body to a neutral position. He gazed over at the remaining students that were coming off airships, packing bags, entering the school, anything. He had a bird's-eye view of it all.

 

[Evergreen98]

The red head gently amiled at the male in front of her as he reached to pet Luka, " I am from signal..." she answered softly, the look that he gave her showed her or at least made her think that he is surprised that a quiet ans shy girl like her was going to a rigorous school where warriors are suppose to be born. A school where quiet and shy people like her possibly wont make it far. Luka looked at the male sensing her master negativity and hissed at the male dangerously. The girl blinked and pettedbher head gently, " shh... its ok" she said to the car softly. She looked at he male and smiled, " sorry about her. She can be a bit sensitive and very over protective" she said. The male nodded and the two soon felt the ship land. The male stood up and smiled at the girl, "well seems like this is where we part ways. I see you later then" the girl nodded and watched him leave. She softly sighed a little feeling exhausted. Luka mewed and she petted her before putting her on her shoulder and getting up. She grabbed her suitcase and left the airship.


Her first step onto Beacon and she smiled a little, she was so excited to go to the school where her parents went to. She walked to the entrance where she heard and explosion and blinked a little, she quickly went over and saw a familiar girl, "is that..." she said quietly and blinked in surprise to see Ruby, the girl that she talked to a bit from beacon. She smiled happy to see her but at the same time she felt her self esteem drop a little. She shook her head, ' no no no, i should feel sad or jealous. She got here and I should be happy for her...' she thought and was about to walk over to her to say hi, but a blonde male who got patted on the back walked over to her. She sighed and decided to head for the area where everyone was going and talk to her later. She sighed, wondering if ahe will be alone again like at Beacon. She pulled her hood forward to hide her face as she arrived at the meet up area.

 

[Mad Prince of Sanity]

Purkus didn't mind the girl not knowing sign-language, nor her attempt to speak to him regardless, in fact he found a certain enjoyment in communicating with someone he would have to be more... creative with. She seemed embarrassed by the fact now that he mentioned he it and at her compliment to his music he gave a small, if somewhat sheepish, shrug and gave a small smile at the mention of a piano "app". He liked the way the real thing sounded just fine though he knew she was just attempting to make effective conversation. Thus, with a small nod of interest he sat down across from her and looked at whatever she decided to show him.


Shortly after though, enough so Purkus felt vaguely foolish for sitting down, they arrived at Beacon and Purkus' arms tightened ever-so-slightly around his bundle of belongings. A nervous jolt once again greeting him and this one in the form of a tingle that went from the base of his spine, to his brain, and back again. As he began to take another step, Purkus glanced back at the girl and blinked before motioning with his hand in a more... simple way, that she was welcome to follow him. Whether she did or not, he continued and really couldn't blame her if she didn't, he just thought it would be nice to walk with someone else new here.


Once on solid ground, Purkus exhaled in thanks at finally NOT being on the airship... until a nearby exploding sound made him jump and he turned his head to see a girl who looked like a walking snowflake and another who struck him as not getting along with dogs, each coughing and.... arguing. Well that was... nice? Shaking his head, Purkus continued walking forward and tried to still the nervous flutter in his chest.

Navy Locke

​

They arrived at Beacon. Navy craned her head to peer out the window. Her chest fluttered with panic as the airship began to lower. She convinced herself she wasn't afraid of heights, which she did so much it was routine. She glanced at Purkus and wondered if he was a little afraid of heights too. Beacon Freshmen bustled off the ship. Navy lugged the small turquoise backpack onto her knees. She felt the pouch on the outside of her luggage to make sure she hadn't forgotten her Scroll. "I hope I remembered everything." Navy muttered, suddenly suspicious of herself. She wound the strap around her arm and slung her backpack against her shoulder.


Navy stood after the boy who'd been speaking with her--sitting not speaking she corrected herself--did. She was grateful to have someone to attend orientation with. Navy grinned and, when her foot first touched the ground of Beacon, her smile widened still. An academy to learn to be a Huntress. Rumor had it there were famous students attending in her class year, plenty competition to be the best.


Navy notched the strap of her backpack straighter on her shoulder. They were tons of freshmen but most seemed less lost than she was. Navy knew it wasn't the case logically, but sometimes she wondered if she missed something everyone else was clued in on. Navy walked beside Purkus. Her gaze flicking every which way. At intimidating students, and the school building, at some adults she suspected were teachers. "That was weird. With the girl. I hope she's okay?"


Another student mentioned they were headed toward the amphitheater. Navy resolved to simply follow where everyone else was headed. She resisted the urge to take out her Scroll and dapple on it while they waited.

"And so here we are, right in front of us is the great school of which we all hoped and dreamed of entering, and now i stand on it's grounds... Filled with pride... Excitement... and DETERMINATION!" the man yelled to yet another crowd gathered, most likely the same from before who seem to apparently follow him around like lost puppies. Getting a few cheers he pointed towards the doorway forcefully, showing them the way to go. "In there is our goal! We shall crush anything this school send sat us and come out kings!" he continued abit as they plowed their way through the doorway, combining with another mess of folks lead by a yellow woman, the two groups combining into one big super hype filled mass that made their way to the amphitheater.


however, in the mass of tomfoolery that was that crowd, it seems their glorious leader was left in the doorway, looking rather dazed from all the pushing. "Geeze.. didn't mean to get them that riled up.. guess its my handsome visage and unending charisma that did the trick eh?' he smirked as he spoke to nobody in particular.


So far he has made a good deal of buddies, but not many to note of as of yet, there was that cat holding girl but... well... in truth she wasn't outgoing enough for his taste. perhaps there is somebody with more.. you know.. oomph to them? Not to say shes bad to talk to, but damn if he wasn't ruling the conversation with an iron fisted tyrant.


No dragons like him yet it seems... A pity, but it was only just the beginning, other ships were coming in already! He only had to wait and see... the world was his oyster, what he did with it, was us to him.


And a few others mind, hopefully this Ozpin guy is as cool as the rumors say... Oh! And his secretary! Can't forget that treat.


Regardless, he had to make his way forwards, a feeling he felt was a long time coming for many.


BEACON





our new home, our playground and our fortress, lets go folks.
