A/N: Thanks to Quezan for actually commenting. Wow. A person commented out of 280 reads. Pretty amazing now. Thanks so much anyway to Quezan and TheDeadMeta1 for doing something other than reading. I'm still thankful for the reads. Thanks Quezan again for the assurance that my story might actually be good. I thought people didn't comment because they hated it... Anyway, finally the first chapter at Beacon. That's right, we're finally delving into the Rwby series...
Rwby belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth and whoever else actually owns it.
My OCs belong to m-
"Oi. We don't belong to you! Just like a child doesn't belong to their parents! They belong to themselves."
"Haha...sorry... but yeah, the OCs have gained consciousness. Cool."
"It better be, by the way. Rwby, no not the team, belongs to Monty Oum, our apparent god, and Rooster Teeth, our apparent god's angels. And to whoever else owns it. We OCs belong to ourselves and ourselves only. Although I am pretty sure that Mile belongs to Makoto...or the other way around. Anyway, enjoy."Do you guys prefer me telling you about the copyrights or the characters? Whatever, enjoy.
"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!" I'm late. So fucking late. I need to catch the Bullhead.
"YOU DOLT VANILLA, YOU DOLT!" You didn't set up an alarm clock for your Scroll. You didn't wake up soon enough and had to frantically ice grind to the place where the Bullhead is taking off...despite the fact that I could actually just wait at Beacon. But what's the fun in that? So, my idea was to ice grind to Vale. Rent a hotel room. And go to the place.
"HEY! HEY WAIT!" The Bullhead takes off... I can't get on another Bullhead as the others have already taken off. I have to Ice Grind up there.
"Lift off..." The Ice Pillar pushes me off the ground and I start creating Ice Rails to the Bullhead. I can catch it. I don't have to watch out for trees so I can.
"CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?" I shout at them, hoping that they'll open something that would let me in. I'm holding my luggage on the Ice Rail too. Looks like they can't hear me. You know what, I'll stay on top of it. If I can't get in, I will stay on. Easy peasy. On the way there, I spot a hologram and a bunch of students. Some of them gawk at me, since I'm trying to catch up to the Bullhead. I travel up to the roof and just stop there.
"So, Vanilla. This is the first step to the goal. Every step leads further. Pass the Initiation. Train at this school. Unravel the mysteries of your dad's former scroll which now belongs to you and get vengeance. The only thing to do now is wait. The wind. It's blowing away my suitcase. Fuck.
"Need some help?" Who's that? Ah, it's Mile. Hubby-prisoner to AM.
"Kind of, Mile. I just need to stop the wind from blowing away my luggage." I hope he has a solution.
"Well don't worry Van. I have the perfect solution! Welcome.....the....... godamnit Van, just cover it with ice and root it to the ground. Make it into an Ice Lotus, you might as well." Right. I can do that. That's my Semblance. Guess I forgot about that in the excitement of Beacon. I do make it into an Ice Lotus. Have to keep with the theme right?
"So....why are you here?"
"Was late to the Bullhead so I had to ice grind up here. What about you?"
"I decided to be cool. And just jump off. I also wanted to see what the scenery was like without the closed view of windows. But you can't see all of it from up here. Soooo.... Van. Can you make an ice ladder to the bottom and make a platform?"...
"It's cooler up here. Like literally and figuratively."
"Okay...I'm going to scare the guys inside. Wanna scare them with me?" Sounds fun. Let's. Mile is going down without my answer. Eh.
"Hi guys! Can you hear me? Yes I am on the roof of the Bullhead. Don't act surprised, you know some of us are going to do this." He says...as be peeks his head down towards the window. How does he keep balance without falling anyway?
"Oi, don't act so daft." He fell. Luckily, I caught him. With my ice of course.
"Mile...I'm sentencing you to stay on the window as long as this ride lasts." Yep.
"I'll die from the blood rushing to my head." Forgot about that...selectively.
"Okay, okay. Just don't overreach when peeking down."
"Yeah yeah." And he goes down again. I hope the people inside can't hear this. I'll peek down too.
"Hey, me again. I didn't die. Luckily my friend was here and caught me. By the way, you might know him!" Wait. He's also writing on the window. From their perspective it should be actually readable as if from normal writing. How was he? The ice. It's cold enough to form mist on the window. Huh.
"Welcome one of my dearest friends....THE ICE LOTUS! Vanilla Einzbern!" Why does he feel the need to shout that? I guess that's my call. I also peek down, just with ice rooting my feet to the roof.
"Hi guys, why are you all black? Are you grimm or something?" I wave at them and I don't bother writing. I just say it out loud.
"Hey, that's mean Van. Just because you see them as black, doesn't mean everybody sees them as black. Besides this is Rwby. Anybody not important to the story is either black or important later on. The people is black thing only happens if you don't see them as 'important.'" Huh. Didn't know that. I guess it really never happened to me, except during the crowd in Vale. I was always wondering why so many black humanoid figures showed up in the streets. I thought they were grimm at first. And I accidentally froze the first one. Turns out when you interact with them, they turn into a human.
"Thanks Mile. Soooooo.... what now?"
"We just say random things I guess..."
"HEY GUYS CAN YOU HEAR ME! IF SO SHOUT BACK!" I shout at them.
"Ye." That was short.
"YES WE CAN VAN!" Who's shouting that? Yang? I guess she was in some other part of the ship that we couldn't see to in our position.
"HEY YANG!"
"CAN I REMIND YOU THAT YOU ARE NEARLY SHOUTING IN MY EARS?!"
"Sorry." Oops.
"I'll just write on the window for you, Yang can write back." Can't I just write on the window? Well, the people inside would be reading it upside down and backwards so maybe it's best to leave it to Mile.
"Okay, I'll just talk and you write what I'm saying then."
"Sounds good."
"So first of all..."
~Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Van and Chibi Mile chilling on the roof of the Bullhead~
"We're finally here!" I stretch my body as the Bullhead finally arrives at Beacon Academy. Yang and I stopped talking after she realized she got puke on her shoe...again. We also saw Ruby, but she seemed too flustered by the vomit to see us, so I just pulled us back up and we relaxed.
"So..DRAMATIC ENTRANCE TIME!" Mile shouts, jumping off the roof early with his umbrella open. But it isn't opened upright, it's opened on the side. Mile sits down on the stick...how? The umbrella should be turning into an upright position. Probably Semblance.
"Well, I should make one too..." I grab my luggage and launch off the roof with an Ice Pillar, I land on an Ice Rail in the sky. I can just grind down from here.
"Woohoo!" Mile screams as he runs around the place. I finally land and see him in a tree.
"Mile, what are you doing up there?"
"Looking around." On a tree?
"If you want to look around just look around. I'll come with you."
"Sure...let's go over to the entrance first and scope out where we're supposed to go. After that we can look around all we want until we need to go there." Sounds good.
"A plausible idea, it's probably a main hall or an auditorium or something."
"You're probably right." The students are finally landing. So many black people, I would hate to lose them in the dark.
"Let's grind on an Ice Rail." We'll get everywhere faster without leaving anybody behind.
"Let's leave for the-"
"Students please go to the main hall." Well, that's our plan dashed.
"Okay...to the main hall!" I start creating an Ice Rail for both of us. It leads to the entrance and ends there. We can walk like normal students to the main hall.
We grind there and I see many black people. I even spot someone I know...the bunny faunus photographer and the fashionista. I wave at them and they wave back.
"We're here." I stop the Ice Rail and land on the ground. There's no one around here. I walk around inside and find someplace.
"I think this is the main hall." It certainly seems like it.
"Looks like we have to wait," Mile says.
"Yeah. So...wanna spar?" I want to see Mile's ability. He didn't join the tournament neither did he say anything about his Semblance.
"Sure..." He pulls out an umbrella and points it at me, I do the same with Fimbulvetr. We charge at each other. I stab my sword towards him but he parries. He winds up for an attack on me, but I back away. He gains the advantage and attacks again, stabbing towards me this time. I dodge to the side and try to slash his arm. He also dodges and gets on the stage. I follow him and slash him 8 times in a row. He parries all of them. He starts using the umbrella in reverse grip. I attack him, but he parries another maneuver. The reverse grip is really messing me up. For some reason, he's able to parry my attacks more efficiently with that stance. I start copying Hēisè and put Fimbulvetr in it's sheath. I pull it out again to slash at him. He dodged it and slices at my legs. I stab Fimbulvetr towards his face, forcing him to move back.
"I think that's about good." Mile says.
"Yeah." We shake hands and leave the stage. Time to obediently wait in place.
"Mile! I finally found you!" AM. She teleports over to Mile and hugs him. I'm going to call it teleportation now.
"...Van." Phoenix comes up to me and we shake hands.
"Phoenix, let's end up on the same team."
"...I like that idea." Great.
"MY MAN!" Nila.
"Hey Nila! Did you use protection?" Hehehehehe.
"No." He calmly says...WHAT.
"..." I am wholeheartedly surprised. Someone I know fucked without protection. And they're 17.
"No, we didn't fuck." Goddamnit Nila. Stop scaring me. I can see that smirk, you won't trick me next time.
"......" He didn't even blink an eye when he was hit by one of Acha's tails.
"Nila, come here."
"Y-yes..." Nila's getting pushed around by Acha.
Well...there's only 2 more people to wait for...
"Yo Vanilla...and thanks."
"Blanc! So you got together huh?"
"Y-yeah..." That was superbly fast. Hēisè must have very good convincing skills.
"Thank you Vanilla."
"You're welcome Hēisè, I'll leave you two alone..." Better let the couple have their time together.
Ah, two people are coming on stage. It's Daftpin and some blond woman. Probably a teacher.
"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step. Yes I know it wasn't brief. I know the troublemakers here, so don't cause trouble. I know you will anyway but I'm obliged to tell you. Bye bye." Daftpin gives of some kind of speech. I bet it was written by the blond teacher over there. Except for the last part.
"Gather in the ballroom, be ready. Yes, you will sleep in the ballroom. Being a Hunter or Huntress means being able to adapt to the environment. So adapt to the ballroom and prepare for the Emerald Forest." Hey that's where I live. Oh god people are going to see my house. And the slide. The slide I haven't renovated yet. Shit.
"Sooooo....." I look around for someone to talk to... Nila's with Acha. Blanc's with Hēisè. Mile's with AM. Phoenix.
"Hey, Phoenix, wanna explore a bit?"
"...I want to prepare for tomorrow, so no thanks."
"We could prepare by scoping out the Emerald Forest."
"...Sure." Great. At least I have someone to talk to. I...could talk to Ruby and the others, but I feel they're talking among themselves. Phoenix and I drop by the locker room to put our stuff there. After that I create an Ice Rail and we grind on it.
"Sooo...this is the Emerald Forest!"
"You sound like you've been here before."
"That's because I have."
"That explains the Ice Slide over there." Shit. He saw it. I guess it won't matter.
"Soooo..."
"You live here?" H-how?
"How?"
"Why else would you make a permanent Ice Slide? Why would you make it permanent if you didn't come here a lot? So, the only conclusion was if the Emerald Forest had something you really wanted, or you live here." That is the longest sentence I've ever heard Phoenix say.
"Yeah, I live here. Wanna see?" He's already riding the slide. I better follow him.
"It's a beautiful house." Thank you.
"Isn't it?"
"How'd you get the permit?"
"Daftpin gave it to me when he found me in my house..." I nervously laugh.
"I see...you have any food here?" Well I have meat in the meat room.
"Wait, let me get the meat. You wait in the couch or outside if you wish." Sometimes I eat outside, just so I can experience some heat in my meat. I go down into my basement and into the freezer room, which contains the meat. I take a skewer out and bring it out.
"Barbecue?"
"Barbecue."
"Cool." I bring the sewer and put it between two sticks, which I cut so that it would fit the skewer. I spin it over a fire that Phoenix preemptively put up when I said barbecue.
"Mmmm..... I can smell it already." It's getting good.
"Won't it attract grimm? It's a big stick of meat." It is the biggest stick.
"It could, but we can deal with any grimm that comes our way." I'm sure we can. It's ready.
"CAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!" A FUCKING NEVERMORE? WHAT THE FUCK IS IT DOING HERE? FOR THE MEAT?
"IT'S A FUCKING NEVERMORE. IT'S TRYING TO GET OUR MEAT. WE MUST PROTECT IT!" I shout as I launch several Ice Spikes towards the bird. It's coming closer and is now battling with us over the meat. Phoenix pulls out a shadow, the black snowman again.
"We can't pull out any big moves Phoenix, it'll freeze the meat and possibly ruin it." I warn him. He nods and switches over to the knightly king.
"Light Arrow!" It screams once again as we both keep throwing projectiles at the Nevermore. It's not working. The Nevermore can see the attack coming a mile away. Almost literally.
"Phoenix I think we need to get up there." He nods once again, as he calls on a...is that a black dragon? Whatever, I make an Ice Pillar up the cliff and prepare to jump off using the momentum. Phoenix rides the black dragon.
"Okay Phoenix now! Combination Attack! RISING ICE!" Phoenix immediately understands from the name and pushes me up using the black dragon's bullet attacks? I stand on the 'bullet' and conjure a casing of ice around it. I try to guide it to the Nevermore, but it's kind of hard to aim while spinning.
"Guide the bullet to the bird." The black dragon opens it's mouth and roars, causing the bullet to home in on the bird.
"3...2...1" I jump off the bullet with Phoenix and his black dragon there to catch me. The bullet tears through the bird like a bullet would water. It effortlessly destroys it. The bullet disappears and the ice breaks.
"Nice teamwork Phoenix! You knew exactly what I wanted! Let's do this again sometime." Phoenix grins and nods. He tells the black dragon to go down to my house. We land on it and run to the barbecue. Luckily, no grimm stole the barbecue. Nice.
"So, you need to feed that thing?" Just in case.
"No. It's just a manifestation." Not like a pet. Okay.
"Well, let's eat!" The stick of meat is ready. I can hear the sizzling...
"Now, what are you doing here?" Phoenix and I look back. Shit.
"I-instructor, i-it isn't what you think it." Oh god I don't want to be expelled before even going through the initiation exam.
"You didn't give us orders to not leave the school. You just said to sleep in the ballroom. It's unfair to expel us based on a rule that wasn't told to the students." Phoenix. I look at him with a face of gratitude. The instructor looks conflicted. As if she was fighting between her morals and upholding the rules.
"Come on Glynda, let them off will you?" Daftpin? DAFTPIN!
"D-Daftpin?" I mutter out.
"...Okay Headmaster Ozpin." The instruc-Ms. Glynda says.
"But as punishment Vanilla has to give everybody meat tonight as dinner." DAFTPIN! YOU KNOW MY SUPPLY! I BARELY HAVE ENOUGH FOR THAT! YOU DAFT FUCK!
"Anyway, come back up after eating the food. I don't want you two to get an unfair advantage over the others."
"Yes Headmaster."
"..."
"Also haul up the meat after eating. So we can get the food ready at dinner." With those words Daftpin leaves. He lets Ms Glynda bring him up by levitating a platform of rocks I think.
"Well, let's eat the meat now." Ugh. Phoenix nods at my suggestion and begins tearing off strips to eat. I proceed to do the same. Those fucks.
3rd Pov
"Are you jealous of them Glynda?" Ozpin asks. His face a joking face. Glynda looks conflicted and nods.
"Well, many people in this world are just born with extraordinary power. But. There are many who use power to harm. And because of that young Vanilla's only family was killed. He was left alone as a child for 7 years. 7 years, can you believe that Glynda?" Glynda shakes her head. She knows that she shouldn't cut in as Ozpin is talking about a very serious matter.
"7 years...anybody who went through that would wind up bad. They say that it's the environment which influences a child's character. I believe that's true. But if that is true, then what of Vanilla? Many have gone through better, but have ended up worse. Yet Vanilla, he ended up wanting to become a Hunter. Do you know what he told me when I asked for his motives? He said that he wanted vengeance for his family. But his face said it all. He doesn't want that nearly as much as being a Hunter. He believes that vengeance is priority, but his eyes clearly says no. No, you don't want that Vanilla, you want to enjoy life. You want to live life how you want it. And you want to protect others who have family too. You don't want anybody to go through what you did. That was what I could gleam from his Silver Eyes."
"Silver? But his eyes are red."
"And that is the beauty of it. His father told him to wear red contact lenses for the rest of his life, only to protect him. You know the legend of the Silver Eyes."
"Yes...there are specific people with Silver Eyes, those kinds of people are said to be able to kill grimm with a glance, they are said to be natural leaders, they are said to be far above normal people. Now that I think of it, that Rose girl had Silver Eyes too."
"Both of them. You know how powerful Summer was. Now two more people with Silver Eyes have shown up. One her daughter and the other a successor to another power. I wonder what these two will accomplish." Both Glynda and Ozpin have a solemn look on their face. Glynda turns back and goes back to the academy.
"...We really need a better name for their kind. Maybe the Silver Hunters? Or the Silver Sword Chapters? Maybe the Sliver's Silver Sliver made out of Sliver Silver Sliver? How about the Silver Eyes? Too generic, then the Silver Ranks? No, it's a kekkai genkai locked within the eyes so maybe just come up with a back name? But Summer and little Vanilla have different back names...wait. Okay, I know the Schnees don't have the silver eye thing, so his mother must have been the one to carry it. Einzbern and Rose. The Roseberns. Wait... Rosebernz. That's good for now." Ozpin walks back to the academy and unbeknownst to him. Another figure was watching him...A/N: Hey, me again. Anyway what did you think? Was it good? Bad? Also Rosebernz could be a ship name I guess... But it's a name for the Silver-Eyes Warriors, which was probably a made up name. Sounds kinda stupid too. At least Rosebernz is short to say kinda like Landsknecht. Anyway, here's the reoccurring question...
Wanna girl to be paired up with Vanilla? Well look no further than this sentence. Comment a girl or and your thoughts in this sentence. Free chance to influence the story!
Also, next chapter isn't the initiation. It's the night before it.
