Prototype in Vale

Chapter 2: Welcome to Beacon

Ruby and the T-750 were on an airship to Beacon Academy the next morning. The Terminator; who was now clad in a white t-shirt, black hoodie, blue jeans, and hunting boots, looked out of the window at the forest curiously having never really seen anything like this "Ohhh! I can't believe my little sister is coming to Beacon with me, this is the best day ever!" The terminator heard someone say. The terminator turned around and saw a fair-skinned girl with long blonde hair that faded to pale gold at the tips, with a cowlick sticking out at the top of her head hugging Ruby, the girl was actually a head taller than Ruby. The second girl was wearing tan jacket that bore her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that featured two yellow buttons, under this jacket she seemed to have a yellow shirt of some kind. She also wore a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material that reached from one hip to the other and went around the back of her waist Underneath this was a long, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She also had a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A purplish-gray bandanna is tied around her left knee, an orange scarf and black fingerless gloves. "This is the best day ever!" The blonde girl exclaimed

"Please stop!" Ruby whined. "But I'm so proud of you!!" The blonde girl exclaimed. Ruby sighed "Really, sis, it was nothing." Ruby said. "What do you mean? It was incredible!! Everyone at beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees!" The blonde girl said excitedly. "Look, I don't want to be 'the bees knees' okay?" Ruby replied. "I don't wanna be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees." Ruby replied annoyed. "What's with you? Aren't you excited?!" The blonde girl asked. "Yes of course I'm excited, but I got moved ahead two years, I don't want people to think I'm special or anything." Ruby replied. "But you are special." The blonde girl said putting an arm around Ruby's shoulders. The on board holo tv which was playing a news report suddenly became audible "The robbery was led by a notorious criminal; Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information about his whereabouts, please call the vale police department." The reporter said showing a picture of the man who tried to rob the dust store the other night. Another reporter was detailing how a group called 'the White Fang' interrupted a Faunus Civil Right's protest. The tv was switched off moments later.

The TV was replaced by a hologram of the huntress from the night before "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" The hologram said. "Who's that?" The blonde girl asked. "My name is Glenda Goodwitch." The hologram said. "Oh." The blonde girl said. "You are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being able to attend this prestigious academy." The hologram said before the terminator lost interest and turned its head away. "Look, you can see Signal from up here!" Ruby shouted. "I guess home isn't too far after all." Ruby said. Someone wearing some medieval-looking armor ran by looking sick "Well I guess the view isn't for everyone." The blonde girl said. "Well it was nice while it lasted." Ruby said. Ruby turned around to look at the terminator "Hey, 750, you want to see this?" Ruby asked. "No thanks." The terminator replied. "Who is that guy?" The blonde girl asked. "He helped fight off those criminals that tried to rob the dust shop I was in last night." Ruby explained. "Well I wonder who we're gonna meet." Ruby said. "I just hope they're better than 'vomit boy' over there." The blonde girl said. "Oh Yang, gross, you have puke on your shoe!" Ruby shouted. "Gross, gross, gross." The blonde girl said disgusted. Ruby pushed her away "Get away from me, that's revolting." Ruby said gagging.

The airships touched down on landing pads shortly after and the kid who threw up before did it again as disgusting as it was but everyone ignored him "Wooooowww." Ruby and Yang said in unison. The T-750 didn't share their excitement however as its emotional inhibitors though damaged still stopped it from feeling most emotions that the humans still had "The view from Vale's got nothing on this." Yang said. Ruby ecstatically began pointing out each of the people she saw and began naming their weapons, the terminator took notice of each of these weapons as well. "Ruby calm down! They're just weapons!" Yang said. "They aren't just weapons. The weapons we choose are an extension of ourselves!" Ruby replied. "Well why can't you go nuts about your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang asked visibly annoyed. Ruby pulled out her scythe and let it rest on her shoulder "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones." Ruby replied. "Hey, 750." Ruby said. "Yes?" The terminator asked looking over at Ruby. "What kind of weapon do you use?" Ruby asked curiously. "I don't have one." The terminator replied. "But you need to have a weapon don't you?" Ruby asked. "My hands will suffice." The terminator replied. "Hey what's with the name '750' any way?" Yang asked. "I was designated T-750." The terminator replied. "Hmmm... weird name." Yang replied. The terminator stayed silent and continued to look around curiously. "Anyway, seeing new weapons is like meeting new people, but better." Ruby explained. Yang pulled Ruby's hood down over her head "Come on Ruby, why don't you try to make some friends of your own." Yang said. "Why would I need friends if I have you?" Ruby asked. "Well actually my friends are here now, gotta go catch up. Bye!" Yang said quickly as she and several other people ran off.
