The statue waved towards the people, but still got no reaction. The statue walked towards the group, who was just looking at it. The statue waved his arms, making the people follow the arms. The statue made another sighing motion, then just walked out of view of the people. The two teams were very confused at the statue, but followed it, only to see it was just in the motion of walking. A crack could be heard before it started moving again, heading towards a wall.
"Um, guys? Should we do something about it?" Ruby asked the group.
"Well, probably, but what even is it? Is it human? Faunus? Grimm?" Weiss asked them all, but they still watched the thing. The statue raised its arm, then punched the wall, making a hole that lead to the outside.
"I don't know, but it's strong," Yang answered Weiss' question.
"Should we follow it?" Blake asked. Everyone just nodded and watched as the thing went through the hole, heading outside.It was just outside when a Grimm tried to grab it, but never lived to even touch it. It just fell, cut cleanly in two, with the statue in a more happy mood. "What just happened?" Jaune asked, but no one knew.
They followed it for a long time, but it eventually reached Vale, somehow. It just tried to speak to many people, but no voice came out and people just looked at it. It rubbed the back of it's head, disappointed, but kept walking. The group had decided to actually talk to the statue, but hadn't decided when. Ruby, like any child, was the first to go up to it, "Hello!" She waved at the statue, to which the statue waved back, much happier.
"Ruby! It might kill you!" Yang yelled at Ruby, but Ruby kept talking to it.
"What are you? A statue?" Ruby asked, but the statue just looked confused. He looked down at himself, pondered for a bit, then nodded. "Wow, what's it like!?" The statue couldn't really answer that, so it shrugged. "Guys! It's okay! It's nice!" Ruby told the rest of her friends, making them slowly come forward.
"What is it?" Weiss asked, making the statue nod.
"It's a statue!" Ruby told her friends, making them look confused. The statue gave them a smile, but tried to speak. It failed, only making them even more prepared to attack. The statue didn't look like it cared, but it didn't want to end things like this.It held it's hand against his forehead, looking up at the sky and squinting. It prepared to throw it's stone sword like a javelin, which scared many people. It aimed very carefully, before throwing it at something. People heard the sound of a Grimm shrieking, before a Grimm's body fell to the ground with a stone sword in it. The statue picked it's sword up, then continued to walk. "How'd you know there was a Grimm?" Yang asked the statue, making it look confused. Yang pointed at the body, which, for some reason, didn't disappear. The statue pointed at it's ears, making Yang very confused, then stabbed the Grimm in the head, killing it.
"What kind of weapon is that!?" Ruby asked in amazement, but the statue just pointed at Jaune's sword, then back at his sword. "Well, that's disappointing..." Ruby muttered to the statue. The statue went into a sassy pose, which Yang laughed at. The statue stopped and looked in the direction of Beacon, but it noticed something the kids couldn't. Magic.
It started to walk, not bothering with listening to the group following him. Once he entered the school grounds, he was told to leave, but didn't. He kept walking, in the direction of the magic. "Where is it heading?" Prof. Port asked the kids.
"We have no clue, but it just started to head that direction." Pyrrha answered the teacher. "We have just been following it for a while, not sure what to do. What is it doing?" Pyrrha asked, looking at the statue as it squatted down, near Ozpin's office.The statue jumped into the window, breaking it and surprising everyone in there. It held it's sword against Ozpin's throat, looking at him. "Who are you!?" Qrow, who was in the room, shouted at the statue.
"What do you want, statue?" Ozpin asked, with a slight squeakiness in his voice. The statue just glared at him, before moving it's sword and shrugging. It sat down on a chair, but still looked at them. It got comfy, not moving a single bit.
"Oz, what is it?" Qrow pointed at the statue, wanting an answer.
"I don't know. It looks like a statue, but it couldn't be one since it's moving. What are you?" Ozpin asked the statue, but still got no answer. The statue looked like it was thinking, but just shrugged."I think we should arrest it, for breaking and entering," General Ironwood said, making the previous two just look at him.
"James, I knew you were stupid, but come on! It's a statue! What could it possibly do?" Qrow asked the General, who was looking pretty worried by the sudden appearance.
"Qrow's right, we should not touch it, unless it does something dangerous." Ozpin looked at the statue, but sighed. "I don't think we can continue our talk. Leave or talk with it. Choose, the both of you."
"I'll stay, but only if it gets off my chair!" Qrow said, directing it at the statue. The statue stood up and gestured to Qrow to sit on it, with a smile.
"I'll stay as well, it could be dangerous." Ironwood pointed his gun at the statue, which was still smiling.James shot at the statue, but the shot didn't touch it, even though James was aiming at it.
