2. The Shining Beacon
The current scene shows (Y/n) and his two sisters aboard a bullhead. Yang was squealing in delight as she was happy her little siblings were going to Beacon with her. Ruby was getting annoyed by the constant hugs and noogies. (Y/n), meanwhile, was sleeping with his earbuds in.
Yang giggled to herself and watched him for a bit before talking with Ruby. Yang wasn't the only one stealing glances at (Y/n) as another female around her age glanced at him up and down. She was sitting on another section of seats that was nearby his section. He then mumbled in his sleep.
(Y/n):"Mmm...pizza time..."
He slept as a boy with blonde hair ran through the ship trying to hold in his vomit. Some of it got on Yang's shoes as she tried flicking it off. Once the bullhead landed, Ruby politely woke (Y/n) up.
He yawned and rubbed her head as thanks which caused her to smile brightly. They all exited and took in the sight of the massive school.
(Y/n):"So this is it, huh? The school for the big boys."
Yang:"Yep. And speaking of which. You need to learn to play nice."
(Y/n):"Me?"
Yang:"Yeah you. You always get into fights with other guys and plenty of other trouble."
(Y/n):"Hey, I'll have you know they said that they would do things to you and Ruby if they were given the chance. And as your brother, I didn't like that so I told them to either keep it to themselves or I'll shove them in a locker."
Ruby:"Do things to us?"
(Y/n):"Don't worry about the details, sis. Just know I'm here in your corner and I'll be rooting for ya."
She smiled and hugged him tightly. Yang pouted and (Y/n) took notice.
(Y/n):"Group hug?"
She smiled and happily hugged him as well. She then let go and went to go with her friends. The sudden burst of speed she had caused Ruby to spin around and stumble.
(Y/n):"Uh, Ruby?"
She then crashed into somebody's luggage.
?:"What are you doing?!"
(Y/n):"Oh boy."
He sighed and before he could do anything, a small explosion went off where Ruby was and (Y/n) quickly rushed to her side.
?:"Ugh! You dolt! You almost blew off the side of the mountain!"
(Y/n) looked up to see a white haired girl wearing mostly white but her clothes were dirty from soot and dust. Besides that, he knew this girl to be Weiss Schnee. Her father was a complete asshole, but when else can you expect from the head of a large company with connections across all four kingdoms?
Ruby:"I-"
Weiss:"Don't you even know how volatile dust is?"
(Y/n): Time to step in. "Excuse me, Miss Schnee?"
She then looked at (Y/n) as he stood up after helping Ruby up.
Weiss:"And you are?"
(Y/n):"Her brother. Look, I'm sorry for what she did, so please don't take out your anger on her. It was a minor slip up. She was just overwhelmed by everything. Can you forgive her?"
Weiss stumbled for words then sighed and looked away.
Weiss:"Just this once."
(Y/n):"Thanks."
Her butler finished loading up her cart and they walked off.
Ruby:"Sorry for making you stand up for me again."
(Y/n):"That's my job, Ruby. Besides, Dad would flip if he found out I didn't stand up for you. I was pretty close to slapping her upside the head if she insulted you again."
Ruby:"Who even was she?"
?:"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company."
They turned to see a black haired girl with a bow resting on her head.
?:"They're pretty famous for having a lot of dust mines under their control and things of the sort."
Ruby:"Oh."
(Y/n):"But they're also pretty infamous for the labor laws and ethics they have for Faunus. Pretty horrendous."
The black haired girl looked at (Y/n) and gave a small smile then walked off as Ruby sighed. Someone else approached the two and smiled.
?:"You okay?"
Ruby:"Not really, but thanks for asking. Wait, aren't you Vomit Boy?"
(Y/n):"Yikes. He just asked how you were and you insult him right off the bat?"
Ruby:"Oh! Sorry! Yang called him that."
Jaune:"Hey! My name is Jaune. And what if I called you Crater Face?"
Ruby:"Hey! It was the first thing that came to my mind."
(Y/n):"Seems fair to me. It's simply the law of equivalent exchange."
Jaune:"Is that a reference to anything?"
(Y/n):"Maybe."
They shared a chuckle before (Y/n) introduced himself. They began walking together. Ruby showed off her scythe and described it to Jaune who didn't exactly understand.
(Y/n):"It's also a gun."
Jaune:"Oh! What about you?"
(Y/n) showed off Alastor and spun it around before tossing it up and let sheath itself perfectly behind his back.
(Y/n):"My sword is called Alastor. I got it as a birthday present. It also has lightning capabilities."
Jaune:"Really?"
Ruby:"Yeah! It's super cool! It can generate lightning to deliver shocking attacks, or he can shoot it out straight from the sword! He can also throw it like a boomerang!"
(Y/n):"And I also have these babies with me."
He reached behind him and showed off two pistols.
Ruby started to drool and tried reaching for them, but (Y/n) kept them high above his head. Since he was taller than Ruby, she struggled to reach for them. Even when she stood on her toes.
(Y/n):"This is Ebony and Ivory."
Jaune:"What do they do?"
(Y/n):"They shoot bullets."
(Y/n) laughed to himself as Jaune sighed. He then put the pistols away as Ruby pouted.
(Y/n):"But they never run out of ammo. I don't know how or why."
Jaune:"Man you guys are something else, all I have is this sword. It's a hand me down and my shield that can shrink down."
(Y/n):"Ah don't sweat it, Jaune."
He smiled before they stopped.
Jaune:"Does anyone know where we should be going?"
(Y/n):"Nope."

They found they're way to the auditorium where Ruby and (Y/n) met up with Yang. Ruby got mad at Yang and Weiss appeared which made things all the more complicated. She handed her a pamphlet which was called: Handling Dust for Dummies.
Yang:"Look, you two clearly got off on the wrong foot. How about a proper introduction?"
Ruby:"Good idea! Ahem! Hi Weiss, I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We could go shopping for school supplies."
Weiss: *sarcastically* "Oh sure! And we can also paint out nails and try on cute clothes. Or talk about cute boys like him."
She then pointed to (Y/n) with her thumb. (Y/n) looked surprised but knew she was being sarcastic. Yang held a small scowl on her face.
Ruby:"Really?!"
Weiss:"No!"
They were going to continue to argue but Ozpin then stepped up to a microphone.
Ozpin:"I'll keep this brief. You have traveled here 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."
He walked off stage as Glynda came on stage and told everyone to gather at the ballroom.
Your POV
I was washing my face in the bathroom before stepping out and walking through the halls. I was shirtless and wore a pair of shorts. It was my go-to sleepwear. As I walked down the hall, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. It was outside.
I quickly ran to my locker and grabbed Alastor and ran outside. I stepped outside and saw a demon.
It let out a chilling and creepy laugh before flying towards me. I jumped and brought down my sword straight down on its head and killed it. I thought it was over before I narrowly dodged a scythe to the head. It trimmed a few hairs off my head and I frowned.
"You know, guys like you aren't allowed on a school zone. And I'm here to make sure you get your asses off the property."
I turned around to see there were two more in the air. One descended into the ground as the other laughed and swung at me again. I rolled away and watched it fly away.
"You guys really gonna make me wait? Not that I mind, of course. I live with two girls and I always have to wait to use the shower!"
One of them rose from the ground and I thrusted forward and pierced right through it.
?:"You missed a spot."
I turned to see a girl sheathing her katana as the last demon faded into nothingness.
"I was gonna get around to it."
?:"Well, a little help doesn't hurt."
"I guess not. Thanks. I'm (Y/n) Rose."
Saeko:"I'm Saeko Busujima. We better get back to the ballroom before the teachers come looking."
"Good idea."
She walked ahead and I followed suit. We split up as she went somewhere private to change. I put up my sword back in my locker before heading into the ballroom. I saw Yang and Ruby getting ready to sleep and I set my sleeping bag between them. I instantly fell on it and passed out.
