_______________________________________

The opening ends to an aerial view of Ruby, Y/n and Jaune entering Beacon Academy's giant auditorium, filled to the brim with people. Ruby looks over when she hears Yang's voice.

Yang: (waving) Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!

Ruby: (to Jaune and Y/n) Oh! Hey, I-I gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!

Ruby leaves to her sister as Y/n decides to join her. The Boy yawns a bit, tired for some reason but brushes it off as he looks around for any available seats before spotting and empty seat before facing Jaune

Y/n: well I guess I'll go find myself a seat then, cya jaune.

Y/n begins to head over to the two girls as he waves at them which they responded with their own friendly wave

Jaune: Hey, wait! (sighs) Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl and a Cool Little Brotherly figure to talk to?!

Jaune moves on to reveal Pyrrha standing behind him, hand on her hips as she watches Jaune before shifting her attention on Y/n walking away.

Pyrrha: Hmmm...

---transition---

Yang: (once Y/n joins her and Ruby, arms crossed) How's your first day going, little dude?

Y/n: You mean since you ditched your and me and we exploded?

Yang: Yikes! Meltdown already?

Ruby: No, we literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire!

Y/n: (brushes ice off shoulder) and I think some ice...?

Yang: (smiling broadly) Are you being sarcastic?

Y/n: (scoffs as the camera pans around to reveal Weiss right next to him) I wish! I tripped over some crabby bitches luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then we exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and Ruby defended which thank you by the way, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!

Weiss: You!

Ruby: (quickly jumping into her sister's arms) Oh, God, it's happening to Y/n again!

Weiss: You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!

Yang: (deadpan) Oh my God, you really exploded.

Y/n: It was an accident.

Ruby: (getting down; to Weiss) It really was an accident!

Weiss holds up a pamphlet titled "DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals" to Y/n.

Y/n: What's this?

The White haired heiress begins listing off policies to a clueless and horrified Y/n, going faster and higher pitched with each word.

Weiss: The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field.

Ruby: Uuhhh...What?

Weiss: You really want Me to start making things up to me?

Y/n: Absolutely that would be nice?

Weiss: (handing the pamphlet to Y/n) Read this, and don't ever speak to me again.

Yang: Look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?

Ruby: (putting the pamphlet away) Yeah! Great idea, sis! (holding out Y/n and Weiss hands as she clears her throat) Hello, Weiss! This is Y/n and I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!

Weiss: (seemingly enthusiastic) Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like Scraggly, H/c, and shorty over there!

Y/n: Hey! I'm Travel size!

Ruby: Wow, really?!

Weiss: (dead silence under her glare) No.

The group's attention is drawn to the stage, where Professor Ozpin is readying the microphone, with Glynda beside him.

Ozpin: 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. (as the students whisper among themselves) 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.

Glynda: (as Ozpin leaves, she steps up to talk) You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed.

Yang: He seemed kind of... off.

Ruby: It's almost like he wasn't even there.

Y/n It felt like he was staring at me.

Jaune: (approaching Weiss from the side) I'm a naturally Scraggly, you know!

Y/n: oh no, jaune my boy!

Weiss puts her hand to her face in exasperation.

---Oh? You're transitioning?---

The first night at Beacon, students are splayed out in sleeping bags. Ruby, in her pajamas and with a sleeping mask around her head, is writing in a journal when Yang crashes next to her, similarly dressed.

Yang: It's like a big slumber party!

Ruby: (not looking up) I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though.

Yang: I know I do!

Yang purrs as she watches several muscular, shirtless guys, Y/n walking in wearing some a singlet and baggy pants while carrying a bottle of water,... and Jaune, dressed in feetie pajamas, waving to her, which makes her groan before she returns her attention to Ruby.

Yang:What's that?

Ruby: A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going.

Yang: Aw, that's so cuuuute! (knocked back as a pillow is launched at her face)

Ruby: Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school! It's weird not knowing anyone here!

Yang: What about Jaune and Y/n? Their nice! There you go! Plus two friend's! That's two hundred percent increase!

Ruby: (turning on her back) Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero...

Y/n: There's no such things as negative friends, You just made one friend and one enemy, (hit with a pillow, this time looking like a dog, to the face) Look, it's only been one day. Trust me; you've got friends all around you! You just haven't met them yet!

The Trio notice a candle being lit nearby, and Blake Belladonna is seen leaning against a wall, reading her book.

Y/n: That girl...

Yang: You know her?

Y/n: Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything.

Yang: Well, now's your chance! (grabs Y/n's arm and lifts him up)

Y/n: Wait! What the fuck are you doing?!

Blake looks over her book to see Y/n unsuccessfully struggling against Yang's grip as she leads the H/c boy over to Blake's spot before letting go.

Yang: (singing) Hel-looooo! I believe you two may know each other?

Blake: Aren't you... that boy that exploded?

Y/n: Uh, yeah! My name's Y/n Vermilion! But you can just call me Crater face... (smiles, embarrassed) Actually, you can just call me Y/m.

Blake: (back in her book) Okay.

Ruby walks behind her sister and stands on her Tippy toes to whisper in her sister's ear

Ruby: (whispering to Yang) What are you doing?

Yang: (whispering back) I don't know - I just thought he could use some help!

Y/n: So... What's your name?

Blake: (sighing as she's distracted yet again) Blake.

Yang: Well, Blake, I'm Yang, that's Ruby my little sister! I like your bow!

Blake: (irritated) Thanks!

Y/n: It goes great with your... pajamas!

Blake: Right...

Yang: (as Ruby laughs uncomfortably) Nice night, don't you think?

Blake: Yes - it's lovely! Almost as lovely as this book! (Ruby and Yang stand there) That I will continue to read. (Ruby and Yang continue standing) As soon as you leave!

Yang: (to Ruby) Yeah, this girl's a lost cause.

Y/n (to Blake) What's it about?

Blake: (surprised) Huh?

Y/n: Your book. Does it have a name?

Blake: Well... i-it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body.

Y/n: kinda reminds me of a book of two people, Hero 1 didn't want to be a knight like Hero 2 us, but due to unusual circumstances, he is tricked into becoming one, and book 3 Hero 2 sadly dies.

Yang: (sarcastically) Oh, yeah... That's real lovely!

Ruby: That's so sad.

Blake: That's tragic, the book must symbolises that no matter what path Hero 1 choose to try not to become something they didn't want to be, but fate ruin their life via them losing Hero 2, but it must've gave Hero 1 the motivation to keep going.

Y/n: I love books. My dad used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters... They're one of the reasons I wanted to be a book writer but not to be a Hunter!

Blake: (laughing a little) And why is that? Hoping you'll live a normal life?

Y/n: Well, I'm hoping everyone will. As a kid, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves, but that was a simple dream of a little boy.

Blake: That... Must've been very ambitious for a child. (her smile turns into a frown) Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale.

Y/n: Well, that's what huntsmen are here for! To make it better.

Yang: Oh, I am so proud of Y/n! (Wraps arms around Y/n tightly)

Y/n: [Gasping] Can't breathe!

Ruby grabs Y/n to pull him out of the hug Yang pulled him into as Yang grins unaware of the boy slowly turning purple from the lack of oxygen

Ruby: (pulling Y/n) Cut it out! (the forced tug of war evolves into a dust cloud of fighting limbs and flying stars)

Blake: (laughing slightly) Well, Ruby, Yang, Y/n, it's a pleasure to ha-

Weiss is seen storming onto the scene in her own pajamas as Ruby traps Yang's leg with Y/n on the floor in a pain angel position as foam was leaking out of his mouth.

Weiss: What in the world is going on over here?! Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?

Weiss and Yang: (at the sight of each other) Oh, not you again!

Ruby: Shh! Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!

Weiss: Oh, now you're on my side!

Y/n: wait your on Weiss side?

Ruby: I was always on both side!

Yang: Yeah, what's your problem with Y/n? he's only trying to be nice!

Y/n: (catching some air) actually I was intending to not speak to the heiress.

Weiss: He's a hazard to my health!

Blake, who rolls her eyes at the fight, simply closes her book, reaches over to grab her candle, and blows it out, enveloping the scene in black.

---Transition---

The scene changes to the Vermilion household as Merlin was playing Elden ring for the first time

Game: unfortunately for you, you are maidenless.

Y/n Dad: and unfortunately you are uninstalled.

Merlin uninstalls Elden ring before heading up to bed yawning tiredly.

---Transition---

The scene changes to a character's eyes wearily opening and closing before waking up fully and seeing Nora Valkyrie fill their view.

Nora: Wake up, lazy butt! (dashes to the side)

Lie Ren gets up with a groan as Nora hounds him.

Nora: (singing) It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!

Y/n: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Lie Ren sighs again and the scene changes to him brushing his teeth in the restroom while Nora continues to talk.

Nora: I can't believe we've been at Beacon for a full twenty-four hours! Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything, I mean, you're the perfect student and I'm... well, I'm me! But it's just crazy, you know?

The scene changes to the ballroom, where the two are readying themselves. Nora is brushing her hair and still chattering while Ren is tightening the strings on his sleeping bag.

Nora: We've been friends for soooooooo long! What are the odds we'd still be together? Well, not "together-together..." Not that I'm not saying that you're not handsome; you are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right?

Y/n: (groans) lemme sleeeeeeepppp!!!

The scene changes again as the two are in the middle of eating their breakfast, Nora having a pancake hanging from her mouth as she is still talking.

Nora: (muffled through her food) Right! What was I thinking? But still, I hope we end up on the same team together! (slurps up the rest of her pancake) Oohhhh! We should come up with some sort of plan, to make sure we end up on the same team together! What if we bribe the headmaster? No, that won't work. He has the school.

The scene changes again as the two are readying themselves in the locker room, Ren loading StormFlower and Nora still talking.

Nora: I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! (gasps) A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?

Ren: (finally replying) Nora?

Nora: Yes, Ren?

Ren: (sheathing his weapons in his sleeves) I don't think sloths make a lot of noise.

Nora: (thinks about this for a moment) That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!

Ren: (smiling and shutting his locker) Come on Nora, let's go.

Nora: Not "together-together..." (giggles)

Ren heads out while a skipping Nora follows, passing Ruby, Y/n and Yang as they are busy readying themselves.

Y/n: Wonder what those two are so worked up about?

Yang: Oh, who knows? So Ruby, you seem awfully chipper this morning!

Ruby: Yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking. (strokes Crescent Rose as she sighs happily)

Yang: Well, remember, Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you wanna grow up, you're gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together.

Ruby: (sighs in frustration) You sound like Dad! (shoves her weapon into the locker) Okay, first of all: What does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly: I don't need people to help me grow up! I drink milk!

Y/n: the milk is a lie and I haven't grown.

Nora: (Offscreen) Male Shortstack!

Yang: But what about when we form teams?

Ruby: (suddenly nervous) Um, I don't know, I... I'll just be on your team or Y/n...

Y/n: (Thinking) 𝑺𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑹𝒖𝒃𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰'𝒎 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆.

Yang: (Bringing her hair around her shoulder and stroking it) Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?

Y/n: Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as your sister?

Yang: What? No! Of course I do! I just thought... I don't know, maybe it would help her... break out of her shell!

Ruby: What the-?! I don't need to 'break out of my shell'! That's absolutely-

Jaune: Ridiculous! (suddenly walking in between the Trio, holding a map and looking lost) There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high! Why does this have to happen today?

Y/n: womp, womp, Wooooommmppp!.

Jaune passes Weiss Schnee and Pyrrha Nikos as they ready themselves at their lockers.

Weiss: So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!

Pyrrha: Hmm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may.

Weiss: Well... I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together.

Pyrrha: Well, that sounds grand!

Weiss: Great!

The background disappears into a thundercloud as Weiss adopts a scheming pose and manic smile in her head.

Weiss: This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!

Jaune: (coming between them and interrupting Weiss' evil train of thought) You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you.

Weiss: (irritated) You again?

Pyrrha: (hurriedly letting herself be seen) Nice to meet you, Jaune!

Jaune: Yeah, yeah. (pushes Pyrrha aside and talks to Weiss, posing slightly) So, Weiss, couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me and Y/n the other day.

Weiss: Oh, you've got to be kidding me!

Jaune: Don't worry! No need to be embarrassed! So, been hearing rumors about teams! I was thinking you, Y/n and me would make a good one! What do you say?

Pyrrha: (getting Jaune's attention) Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each, so-

Jaune: You don't say. (advances on his new target) Well, hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the Arc-Vermilion team.

Y/n wanders up to them as he opens a locker to grab a school issued Spear and a water bottle.

Y/n: Please don't call us that, oh morning Weiss

Weiss: good morning... (separating the two) Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?

Jaune: Not in the slightest, snow angel.

Y/n: hope you guys bring a water bottle, y'know just in case.

Weiss: This is Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Hello again!

Weiss: Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum!

Y/n: Weiss, you stalking now?

Jaune: Never heard of it.

Weiss: (scoffs) She's won the Mistral Region Tournaments four years in a row! A new record!

Jaune: The what?

Y/n: How sheltered are you Jaune?

Weiss: (waving her arms rapidly in anger) She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!

Jaune: (gasping suddenly) That's you?! (as the design of the cereal box in question is seen with Pyrrha's smiling face on it) But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!

Pyrrha: Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you.

Y/n: had to get two wisdom teeth removed thanks for that, but it was tasty

Pyrrha: (Patting Y/n's head) Oh Sorry.

Y/n: it's alright.

Weiss: (appearing as the box design crumbles behind them) So, after hearing all of this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?

Jaune: I guess not... Sorry... (hanging his head)

Pyrrha: Actually, Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader!

Y/n: (Pondering) I think they discounted the Sour patch boy's collab like two years ago.

Jaune: (immediately brightening back up) D'oh, stop it!

Weiss: Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged!

Jaune: Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for Team Arc-Vermilion.

Y/n eye twitches at the Team name before muttering 'Good Grief' as he now walks away.

Jaune: So spots are filling up quick! Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say?

Weiss: All right, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help, please?!

Jaune looks back just in time to see Miló strike him, sending the would-be leader flying off the screen.

Pyrrha: I'm sorry!

An announcement plays on the intercom system.

Glynda (voice only): Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately.

Weiss passes Jaune as he hangs from the wall of a locker on her way out. Pyrrha follows her, grabbing her spear and dropping Jaune to the ground.

Pyrrha: It was nice meeting you!

Jaune: (slumping against the locker) Likewise...

Yang: (as she and Ruby approach) Having some trouble there, lady-killer?

Jaune: I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong? (accepts Ruby's offered hand and uses her to lift himself back up)

Yang: "Snow Angel" probably wasn't the best start.

Y/n: (offscreen) no shit Sherlock!

Ruby: Come on, Jaune, let's go.

Ruby leads Jaune out of the locker room by supporting him and his damaged self-esteem.

---Transition---

The scene opens to the Beacon Cliff, overlooking a forest, where several students — some old, some new, and some unseen — are standing on silver tiles in front of a mug-holding Professor Ozpin and Glynda with her tablet.

Ozpin: For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest.

Glynda: Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of "teams." Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today.

Ruby: What? Ohhh...

Y/n: (Offscreen) Womp, Womp, Wooommmppp!

Ozpin: These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well.

Ruby: (groaning)

Ozpin: That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years.

Ruby: (the shocked expression mirrors her world cracking like glass and falling apart) Whaaaat?!

Nora: (to Ren) See? I told you-!

Ozpin: After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die.

Y/n: (deadpans) yea, that's inspiring.

Jaune laughs nervously and then gulps loudly.

Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?

Jaune: (raising his hand) Yeah, um, sir?

Ozpin: Good! Now, take your positions.

Everyone strikes a pose on their tile. Nora crouches low, Ren wields his weapons, Yang raises her fists, Ruby readies her body, Y/n glances at the platform before realising what it is, and Jaune is still raising his hand.

Jaune: Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question. (he misses the tile under Weiss rising up into a springboard, rocketing into the air and over the forest, as the platforms activate down the line) So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?

Ozpin: No. You will be falling.

Jaune: (missing more students being thrown) Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?

Y/n: No. I think will be using our own "landing strategy."

Ozpin: took the words right out my mouth.

Jaune: (still not seeing an excited Nora and Ren getting launched) Uh-huh... Yeah.

At her turn, Yang winks at her younger sister, puts on a pair of aviators, and flies off with a "Woo-hoooooooo!" a second before Ruby joins her.

Y/n: wait, I think I'm forgetting somethIIII!!!

Y/n tried to get off before getting launched into the air as he made a goofy like scream

Jaune: So, what exactly is a landing strategYYY!...

He asks this part just when he finally has to get hurled with the cloud of students now making their way down into the forest below under the eyes of the teachers. Ozpin, for his part, simply takes a sip of his drink coming to a realisation of his own.

Ozpin: I think I forgot to unlock Mr Vermilion's Aura.

Glynda glares at Ozpin, snatching his mug out his hands and tossing the liquid contents onto Ozpin as he scowls at her.

Ozpin: O-kay, oh I forgot to tell Y/n that the spear he's using is probably a rusty one so it won't be durable for long but I thin-...

Glynda splashes a new fresh cup of coffee on Ozpin. Who cleans his glasses and stares at you

Ozpin: Glynda....Can you please not FUCKING DO THAT! IT WAS BOILING HOT!... (He is then splashed with coffee again)...Okay fuck you.

Glynda: Hmph!
