Location: Unknown Bandit Camp
POV: Dracos Ironclad
Time: 2 Years AgoWe had just returned from another village, I recognized those people. I made sure ALL of them burned for what they had done. "Welcome back Claddy!" I heard ahead of me, I looked up and saw the daughter of the chief trotting up to me, I took off my helmet getting a better look at the brunette running to me.
Before I realize it she has me engulfed in a bear hug, I give her a pat on the back before releasing myself from her embrace. "Claddy?" I raise an eyebrow at her. She giggles, holding her hand to her mouth. "A new week a new nickname!" I shake my head, smirking ever so slightly.
We both walk to my tent, the tribe had just moved last week. The daughter of the tribe leader, the only person here who fully understands me, everyone is nice, for bandits of course, but she was a bundle of joy in a box of rusty nails. Her name is Grace, her father trained me and sees me as a son.
Once we enter my tent she sits at the small table, waiting and watching as I make tea for the both of us.
"So.." She hesitates she's uncomfortable with what she's about to say, so I simply hum to acknowledge her. "Has that.. 'Chip' been giving you any problems" her voice trembles knowing how much I hated having that damned thing slotted into my brain.
"No, but it gives me someone to talk to" a man appears leaning on the wall to my left "damn right. And who's more entertaining than Johnny Silverhand?" I turn around and set the tea down in front of both of us "Literally anyone" I say to him using my thoughts, I don't exactly know who this guy is but he claims to be some legend from a few decades back, but where I'm from didn't necessarily have the highly advanced technology that currently replaced his left arm.
"I'm so sorry about what happened to you, I knew we shouldn't have explored that lab.." Grace speaks up, clearly ashamed of what happened "It wasn't your fault, stop blaming yourself" I tell her reassuringly "I'd be ashamed too if I had someone trapped in a psychopath's head" he interrupts my thoughts "Go eat a dick, Johnny." I accidentally blurt out
If I were to describe Johnny Silverhand it would be simple, his pale skin, long, shoulder-length black hair. He wears a pair of brown leather pants and either a black military vest or a black tank top, usually both having some logo on it and the word 'Samurai'
He has a beard and I usually see him wearing a pair of aviators "Is he here-?" Grace interrupts my train of thought, I simply nod, taking a sip of my tea after it has cooled off, Grace does the same.
"I know what you're thinking and I'd be disgusted if I agreed, you think she's beautiful and kind when all I see is an overly cheerful 15-year-old girl." Johnny says to which I respond in thought "Oh shut up ya old prick"
Grace and I have a chat for a while before it gets late and she must return to her tent, I bid her farewell and goodnight as I take off my armor and fall asleep on a Matt I have set up in a corner. It's relatively comfortable and beats the ground. I wake up the next morning to screams of agony and fear as well as the heat from massive flames around me. I teleport to the center of the camp to see the entire thing ablaze, people running and screaming as the children and mothers run to safety, the men fighting off the ursai and beowolves as well as their major and alpha counterparts.
Location: Beacon Academy
Time: Present dayI quickly jump out of my sleeping bag, waking in a cold sweat "fuck.. The one time I get some fucking sleep..." I sigh and rise from the bedding as I notice everyone awake, the Ruby girl keeping her distance but avoiding eye contact. I'm not sure how Ozpin knew I was the Ironclad knight but I have some level of respect for how he went about making this deal with me.
Flashback
I create a dagger of pure energy and hold the tip at his throat, he barely flinches as Ruby and the huntress both gasp. "He's what?!" Ruby exclaims fearfully
"Now Mr. Ironclad, I'm not here to expose you, I wish to make an offer, for the both of you." He states calmly and with a trusting look in his eyes, I sit back down but refuse to let my guard down "Go on."
"I wish for the both of you to attend my school, Ms. Rose early, and you without official school experiences" he takes a sip from his mug. "What's the catch?" I ask rather coldly "There is none, should you refuse, your secret will not leave this room, should you accept, I will warmly welcome you to my academy" he places the mug down, putting his elbows on the table and clasping his hands together.
Flashback end
I wait in the locker room having no alternative armor, I'm not particularly bothered by that fact "The girl knows too much, and this place reeks of shit, I say we zero her and Delta the fuck outta here" Johnny glitches into my vision, leaning on the locker next to the one I'm putting my bag in. "No Johnny we're not killing her, she hasn't told anyone, if she does then I'll be forced to" he scoffs "and talk normally." I shut my locker and lean on it, noticing the blonde guy who barfed on the carrier walking past mumbling to himself "You don't know that, she probably told everyone and they're just waiting to try and kill you."
I roll my eyes and walk outside "No armor Mr. Ironclad?" Glynda Goodwitch is her name, a remarkable huntress I'll give her that, but at times too professional "Don't need it." I stand on my respective platform, a blond dog Faunus standing on the one to my right, I had seen her in the locker rooms and the main Hall earlier this morning, a rather cheerful one. She wore a white button-up shirt with long sleeves and a brown vest, with a cyan string tied into a little bow, she also wore a dark blue skirt, but now she's wearing blue jeans containing knee pads on them, a white tee, and a brown leather jacket with elbow pads.
There was one thing about her, usually, faunus have one animal trait, but she had the ears AND the tail, I heard it was an incredibly rare trait, some hold pride in it, others shame I'm not sure where she stands on that because she's too giddy, hopping in one place and giggling. I simply look forward as everyone else walks up, Ozpin giving his speech.
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." He calmly states while holding yet another mug, must like his morning coffee, I'm a tea man myself. With my spacing out I heard the blonde boy screaming as he launched away, the blonde girl with a noticeably large blossom who always hangs around Ruby put on some aviators and Signaled a 'later' to her as she was launched away.
Eventually, it was my turn, as I was flying through the air, I teleported to the ground beneath me, looking for this temple, I froze when an unusually large grim stepped out from behind one of the trees, it was double my height, large and bulky, almost muscular, it's right arm stretched into a flail-like object with what could be considered a spiked wrecking ball, it had boney armor platings all over its dark body and a singular glowing red eye with two massive horns on its head, it lets out a growl when noticing me, my eyes glow as I prepare myself for a fight, but the moment I do, it lowers onto one knee and bows.
