Welcome to Chapter 2 of 'The True King' everyone, and thank you for waiting. Now please let me know how I did on this chapter because I think I've made chapter 1 a tad bit long. I thank everyone who has put a vote/review up as well, and hope to seem more from the people who have reviewed as well as new reviews in the future.

1 week later...

Ruby Rose stood along the passenger hallways of the transport airship heading for Beacon as she finally takes her first step to becoming a Huntress. She was excited as she could be. Her father and uncle were there at the port to send her and sister off with a smile and wishing them well.

Her family were proud and ecstatic for her when they got the news she would be heading to Beacon this year with her older sister, Yang Xiao Long.

However, she is a bit sad that she'll leave her old friends behind by skipping two years.

It's not like she meant to go off without them, but her friends were understanding and congratulate her for getting into Beacon at an early age. Calling her a prodigy and asking her to write to them all about her time there.

Still didn't help with the jitter bugs she was having.

Though beyond all that, missing her friends, heading to Beacon with her sister, becoming a Huntress. She was worried about that boy she met almost a week ago.

Ky Virtus.

That was his name she recalled when they met in front of Dawn Til Dusk.

She didn't know much about him at all, except she dragged him into her scuffle with Roman Torchwick and his goons. He helped her out when he didn't need to and his weapons were about the most unique and coolest gear she had ever laid her eyes on. She couldn't explain it, there was something mystifying about it. They looked and they how they turned into guns that looked different from the swords and seemed to 'grow' new parts was something else.

He seemed to possess some kind of speed Semblance, but she wasn't sure what it was. Using breath-taking weapons from thin air sounded amazing, being able to call your partner anytime anywhere was convenient, but the way he appeared from the ground to the roof... Was that it?

She wasn't usually interest in boys, but something about him interested her. Regardless of him not knowing her, he helped her when he didn't need to and protected her too and that was good enough for her.

Sadly, she hasn't seen him after that day and was worried what became of him. He agreed to go to Beacon too, but what if that was a lie? What if he didn't make it in time? Or worse! She couldn't help, but worry about the boy.

She hasn't even thanked him just yet... or ask him about his amazing weapons. She couldn't stop gushing over them whenever she thought about them.

In the midst of her monologue a certain busty blonde beauty ran up to her and gave her a surprise hug. Her sister Yang.

"Oofph!?"

"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me!" a lilac-eyed adolescent woman squeezed Ruby tightly in a bear hug to show her affections. "This is the best day ever!"

It would be for Ruby if Yang didn't stop hugging her and breaking her spine in half.

"Please... stop...," the crimsonette girl wheezed out.

Yang, did in face let go of her, and jumped up a bit and trembled with excitement, "But, I'm so proud of you!"

The day Ruby told them that Ozpin personally asked her to come to Beacon this year Yang couldn't stop telling the world and everybody how proud she was of her little sister. She also wanted Ruby to attend the same year as her before, but it wasn't possible due to being in different years at Signal. That changed when Ozpin came into the picture.

"Really, Sis, it was nothing," the scythe-wielding girl passed it off as nothing. She wasn't one for boasting after all.

Yang, on the other hand, wasn't having any of it, "What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees!"

Ruby looked dumbfounded at that expression and began looking worried, "I don't want to be the 'bee's knees', okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."

"What's with you?" the buxom beauty asked jolly-like, not seeing her sister's issues, "Aren't you excited?"

"Of course, I'm excited... it's just," Ruby sadly sighed, "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything."

Her sister walked around to Ruby's side and threw an arm around her and smiled, "But you are special."

"...The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities," the voice from the announcer for the screen display boomed in the hallways to make its announcement. "If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you Lisa."

Ruby sighed when she heard the news. She thought back to the boy who helped her that day.

"What's the matter, Rubes?" Yang asked with concern, "Are you sad about letting that criminal get away the other day?"

"No, it's not that," Ruby hesitated a bit. She never mentioned the boy that helped her when she told her family about the robbery which led to her being accepted to Beacon. "It's just that, during all the craziness during it all someone helped me out. Who I haven't seen since then."

"You mean someone lend you a hand against those crooks?" the blonde girl raised her eyebrows. She wondered why Ruby never mentioned this before. Then again, she was so happy about the news she threw a celebration party and didn't let Ruby get a word in edge-wise.

She nodded, "Yeah. When I took the fight to those guys on the streets and that's where that person was standing. I was worried at first, but then this person appeared out of thin air pulled out these unique weapons ... it was so cool!"

She began to become more animated when she got to the cool parts regarding the weapon which Yang shook her head with a knowing smile.

"Oh yeah?" Yang asked.

"Yeah!" she smiled brightly, " And their weapons! There were two of them and they looked absolutely beautiful! One was a radiant shine of blue and the other was a mysterious pitch black!"

"Yeah?" Yang said, more intrigued about the mystery boy.

"Mmhmm! And together, we managed to beat them so easily together we were such a great team! After that Roman guy escaped we chased after him! I jumped onto the ladder and leaped onto the roof, while that person suddenly appeared from the ground to the roof!"

"Appeared on the roof? Huh?" Yang looked confused. Truthfully, she was curious about that part. It sounded like a Semblance ability. Appearing anytime from anywhere. Most Huntsman and Huntresses would kill for such a convenient ability. "Sounds like Teleportation."

"Yeah, I wanted to ask questions, but never got around to it. Then when Roman got onto the airship. Then the Huntress lady showed and the Roman's lady criminal friend showed up and attacked each other with their Dust attacks. Just then, he turned his key weapons into guns and shot at the airship! Once we finished it off we were taken to the police station by the Huntress where we met Ozpin and that's how I got accepted to Beacon, which was the happiest day of my life!" she nearly squealed at that part again, which Yang couldn't help but smile with her. "However..."

Yang tiled her head as her sister continued, "After that, I don't know what became of that person after."

"I see," Yang nodded her head in understanding, "So basically you're worried for this person who helped you? Not sure where they went after that?"

Ruby nodded her head sadly to her sister, "Yeah. he got accepted into Beacon too, but... I didn't see him anywhere when I got on. I really hope he's OK. He was a really nice guy."

"Yeah, I bet. I... wait," Yang caught herself as the words proceed through her mind.

Ruby looked at her sister with confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yang turned to her with a blank look and emptied eyes, "Him? He? Guy? As in... a boy? You mean a boy helped you out and you're worried about this guy a lot?"

The red hood girl darted her eyes back and forth and answered hesitantly to her sister's strange behavior, "Yes. He's a boy. I haven't stop thinking about him ever since that day. I really hope he's okay."

Yang just stood there for a few moments, slightly scaring Ruby, before her big sister erupted in a big infectious smile and crushed her in another steel-crushing hug of death.

"OH MY GOSH! My baby sister finally has her first crush!" Yang cooed as she swung Ruby back and forth in her arms, "I'm so happy! I never thought you'd ever be interested in boys!"

"Gggck!" the crimsonette girl cried out in pain, struggling to break free, "Yang! Please... let go... you're crushing... me..."

"Oh sorry," the blondie let go of her sister, who looked dazed and ready to keel over. She gave her an apologetic look as Ruby straighten herself out and she pouted.

Now that Ruby has recovered, Yang continued with the subject by placing her hands on her arms and asked the important questions, "So Ruby... is your first crush cute? What's he like? What's his name? Does he like puns? Do you plan on asking him out?"

"Gck! Yang," Ruby knocked her sister's grasp on her and started to punch lightly, and cutely, in rapid succession when her sister embarrassed her with those answers. "It's not like that! He just helped me out and I never got to thank him! Or know if he's OK. I'm just worried about him that's all."

"I see," Yang nodded sage-like, "But is he cute?"

Ruby growled at her and looked away with a slight blush, "Well... I did get a pretty good look at him. So I guess he was cute."

The blonde beauty grinned as she wrapped her arm over Ruby's head, "Atta girl! There's hope for you yet! Now then after we get sorted into Beacon let's go hunting for your mystery crush. I bet we can find him easily, even if you don't know much about him."

"I'm not crushing on him!" Ruby pouted with an adorable blush. She sighed as she looked away sadly, "I don't even know where to start. I only caught his name and that was it. The name, the blue hair and that he had golden eyes too."

"At least we got some intel on the guy," the older girl smiled with her fingers rubbing her chin, "So what's his name?"

"Um... it was Kyon. Kyon Virtus," Ruby finally revealed his name to her. "Though hw said Ky for short."

"Ooh... interesting. I like," Yang couldn't stop herself from grinning. His name was almost like a pun to her, "Now we have something to start with."

"Maybe we shouldn't bother," Ruby frowned. It wasn't like she was giving up, but with them attending Beacon in Vale who knows where he could've ended up, "I mean, he could've went there on another airship. I'm just hoping to... see him... again..."

Yang looked at her sister who slowly came to a halt with her words, "Rubes? Something wrong, little Sis?"

Her little sister stared off to the side with widen eyes and disbelieving face.

She suddenly gasped which took Yang by surprised, "It's... him! That's the boy! He's right over there! I can't believe he's here on this airship!"

"What!?" Yang blinked and looked toward the direction Ruby was starting. Sure, enough there was an royal blue spiky haired boy standing by himself in a blue jacket. He was looking out the window, tapping his foot with a content look on his face.

Yang let out a low purr. Ruby was right... he was cute. Very cute.

Ruby looked so joyful and thrilled she to see him again she used her Semblance, Rose-Burst, and ran toward the boy. The blonde girl shook her head, but smiled, as she soon followed after.

A few moments ago...

Ky walked along the hallways of the airship looking around the place. He was passing by the other students and keeping a low profile as he didn't want to stand out too much. Honestly, he loved making new friends, but he mainly wanted to see if Ruby was on board anywhere.

He stopped in front of the window looking outside of the airship and spots all of the buildings down below. He leaned his head against the glass and began enjoying the view.

Regardless he took this moment to himself to think of his plan of action.

The last six days were both short and long as he found a hotel to stay in and spent his week training himself to exhaustion. And when training was done he either found a book to read, write up some novel ideas himself, sing a few songs, play some games on his Scroll which was included with his stuff, or go outside and take in the sights. He really got a feel for the place and the people were super nice.

Aside from a few displeasure moments he encountered on the streets.

All in all, he was having the time of his life. When the deadline to go to Beacon had arrived he thanked the hotel staff for his time staying there and all of them appreciated his staying.

Now that he's here on the airship, he's not sure what to do but wander around.

"Well I've got some time to kill," Ky hummed as he walked over to an empty spot by the windows and looked outside to the blue sky. The news came on and was telling the story of the robbery roughly a week ago that Ky was in and the boy smirked lightly at the butt-kicking he gave Roman's thugs.

Ky hummed to himself as he tapped his foot on the floor and looked at out the window with a content shine in his eyes. 'Still...I wonder if Ruby's on board. It'd be great to see her again.'

"KY!"

The bluenette barely had time to register his name being called as he only looked to his side for a brief moment, before a red blur collided with him and knocked him over to the ground.

"Oomph!" was all Ky blurted out before something or someone fell right on top of him.

"Uhh... oops... I guess I overexerted myself a little too much there," a girlish voice chirped as she placed her hands right on Ky's chest to lift her torso up slightly. Without realizing where her hands were.

Ky shook his head and looked to see who collided with him and found a familiar pair of silver eyes boring back into his golden ones. It was Ruby Rose! The girl he hasn't seen in over a week.

Ruby looked blankly at him before realizing where she is at the moment. A growing blushing decorating her face.

"Sheesh, Riding Hood," Ky chuckled, decided to tease her a bit and make fun of the situation, "I wasn't expecting you to fall on me."

"Gah!" she jumped up in panic and blushed furiously, "I wasn't falling for you! I swear!"

He got up and patted himself down. Before looking at her with a amused look, "I said fall on me. Not fall for me. Then again I guess I am irresistable."

She blinked owlishly until she realized why he said it like that. The way he smugly smiled drive the intention home to her. She pouted cutely, "You're horrible! Don't tease me like that!"

Ky laughed, "Sorry. I tend to tease people I like. Besides it was kinda funny."

Ruby huffed with a slight blush, "I bet."

Didn't help her with Yang's earlier teasing too. She continued to look annoyed until she remembered why she was here, "But anyway! You're okay!"

The boy blinked at her unsurely and looked himself over, "Well, yeah. You didn't really hurt me when you fell on top of me like that."

"Not that!" the red hooded girl stated loudly, "I mean... well... after what happen at the station. I never seen you again after that. I wasn't sure if you made it or not."

"Oh!" Ky realized what she meant, he slapped his right hand on his forehead for being a dense mook. He was a little surprised she'd be worried about him like that. "A lot has happened since then! Sorry, I didn't think of that first. I hope you've been doing alright."

Ruby smiled brightly and nodded, "Yeah! I've been doing great! Got into Beacon earlier than I thought I was and I've been excited about it ever since. I can't wait!"

The boy humorously chuckled, "Nice to hear."

"Ahem," a voice cleared up loudly between, causing the two teens to jump away in fright.

Standing between them-somehow without even of them noticing-is Ruby's older sister Yang, who looked very amused with that big knowing smile on her face.

What she wore was pretty much eye-candy to say the least. A tan jacket showing off her midriff, an orange scarf wrapped around her neck, and though it didn't look like it a low-cut yellow crop top with an emblem on the left side. Not a bra or swimsuit mind you. A dark brown belt, black mini-shorts, and brown knee-high boots with over-the-knee orange socks to top off her outfit.

She also wore fingerless gloves like Ky, except her's were black and she had golden gauntlets currently equipped on her forearms.

"AH! Yang!" Ruby exclaimed with a yelp and nervous expression, "...how long were you standing there?"

Yang gave her sister a very mischievous smile, "Oh... long enough."

Ruby inwardly winced. Her sister is going to tease her later about this she knew and she was not looking forward to that.

"Soooo," Yang sang casually, "You going to introduce me to your friend or...?"

"Um? Right!" the crimsonette girl quickly collected her bearings and stopped Yang from any further comments, "This is my big sister Yang!"

Ky glanced between the two, and raised a brow, "Half or foster sisters?"

Ruby seemed somewhat surprised by his inquired question, "Um... we're half-sisters. I was kinda expecting you to say we don't look nothing like sisters."

"Well, there's more to being family than being blood-related or not or having physical resemblance. Though I guess I do see a vague resemblance between you two." He narrowed his eyes to get a closer inspection with the two, then smiled to Ruby before turning his attention to Yang, "Also, hey there."

"Charmed~," Yang giggled with a sultry smile and gave Ky a half-lidded look. She reached out for a handshake, "It's a pleasure to meet Ruby's mystery guy. Ky, right?"

"Oh, um...," the boy was definitely taken aback by Yang's... boldness. "Yeah. My real name's Kyon, but everyone calls me Ky. Nice to meet you."

After that was all said and done Ruby continued with her questioning. She really wanted to know what happen to him, "But what about you? After the police station I never saw you again! Do you know how worried I was for you after that day?! I thought something bad happen like you got hurt or something!"

Ky stumbled a bit backwards as she came close to his personal space with a very concern and steely look in her eyes. Only after meeting him once and for a short time to boot, he was still very surprised on how much Ruby showed that kind of concern for him.

"Yeah," Yang finally pitched in her voice after staying silent on the side, eagerly watching the scene unfold between the two teens, "My sister has been very worried about you. Wouldn't stop talking about it actually."

The boy raised a brow curiously-not entirely buying it-and Ruby frantically waved between them in a comical manner, "No I wasn't, Yang! I just told you about him!"

"Yeah, well, same difference," the blonde beauty smirked playfully.

"You're the worst," Ruby pouted while Ky shook his head with amusement. Ruby turned her attention back to the blue-haired boy and reiterated, "So what happened to you?"

"Oh that?" the boy rubbed the back of his head with a smile and continued, "Well if you're asking where I was, I was at a hotel for the time being. I had almost little to no Lien on me, so they was nice enough to give me a place to stay before school starts."

"A hotel? I see, there's not many hotels close to where I live so I guess it's no wonder I haven't see you around then," Ruby calmly stated out loud. If she knew he within the same city close to where she lived she could've visited him. Sadly, she knew neither where he was or what hotel he was staying at.

"I suppose so," he shrugged absentmindedly, "That and I have been busy with some my own personal training in the meantime."

"Training?" Yang perked up with interest, "What kind of training? From what Ruby told me you handle yourself better well against those criminals."

'I didn't say anything that specific though...' Ruby though nonchalantly.

The boy glanced downwards with a humbled expression, "I wouldn't say I was that good. I'm still a novice really. Hopefully at Beacon I can get better with my skills. I still got a long way to go."

"Well," Yang patted a hand on his shoulder, the boy nearly crutching down from the force of it, "I'm more than happy to help with your training. You, too, right Ruby?"

The boy strained at the pressure which Yang didn't mean to apply, but kept a friendly pained smile on his face to play it off.

"R-Right," Ruby agreed while stammering a bit. Yang smirked as she rubbed her sister's shoulder which Ruby looked aggravatedly at her for putting her on the spot like that.

After she left go of him. Ky glanced between the two and smiled. 'Well... I guess I've established my place as their friend. That's good. Especially with Ruby. She's pretty cute...'

Ky's eyes suddenly widen and he blushed slightly at what he thought in his head. He frowned and shook his head. 'Where the heck did that come from?'

Luckily the two didn't notice his behavior at all as Yang seemed to enjoy messing with her sister too much.

Then Ruby remembered something she really wanted to know the boy when they mentioned training. "Actually... there's something I wanted to ask for a while now about you."

"Oh?" Ky tilted his head to the side wondering what she was going to ask.

"CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR WEAPONS?!" the girl practically screamed on the spot with stars in her eyes. Everyone nearby heard her shout and looked in their direction, confused.

Yang practically jumped back, cringing, and rubbed her ears. She knew about her little sister's love for weapons and still she failed to see this coming. She let out a sigh and smiled bemusingly at her young sister's antics.

On the other hand...

Ky blinked at her outburst when all of the attention when the other students' turn their heads to the commotion, but he ignored it and grinned at the girl.

"Oh, hehe, right," He laughed lightly, "You were interested in them before on the roof, but I never got around to them. Sounds like you love weapons a lot, huh?"

"Of course! To me a weapon is more than an extension of a person and partner. It tells a lot about that person, a reflection of their personality," the silver-eyed girl jumped with giddy as she explained this and move closer to the boy, "And your weapons are the most unique and mysterious ones I've ever seen! I got to know all about them, so please tell me EVERYTHING!?"

"Might want to take it easy there, Rubes," Yang placed a hand on her sister's shoulder, "Going to scare the poor guy if you keep this up."

Ruby glanced between the two and stepped back a bit, sheepishly rubbing the back of her head.

The boy didn't mind and chuckled. He always did find Ruby's weapon frantic side to be super cute. He looked at her, shrugged, and smiled, "Sure. I don't mind telling you about my weapons."

Ruby's eyes sparkled with stars, her hands trembling with excitement in front of her face, and moved closer to the boy to hear all about them. Yang looked amused at her sister, but shared her interested in the boy's weapons too. She like to know what makes them so unique.

"Well, as you know, my weapons are kinda special," the boy reached back and drew his key-swords from their scabbards. Both girls jump back and looked surprised at the weapons, "Checj it."

He held up both swords for them to see. Ruby burst at the seams with exhilaration as she began to dart back and forth around his weapons. Getting good looks at them from all angles.

Even Yang was taken note of his weapons. They really were cool-looking swords. One that was a bizarre blue/sliver colored sword and the other one was an ominous black sword, but swords nonetheless.

"The blue/sliver one is called 'Bright Crest' and the black one is called 'Fallen Abyss'." Ky explained, gesturing to the key swords respectively.

"Oh my gosh, they're so much cooler up close!" Ruby squealed in a low tone as she continued to inspect the boy's weapons in his hands.

Ky looked at the girl and grinned. He then held out Bright Crest to Ruby, "Do you want to hold it?"

The crimsonette girl gasped at the sudden proposition and almost screamed, "YES! I would love to! Gimme!"

He repositioned Bright Crest in his hand, flipping it over, and presented to the girl. Ruby gently and unquestionable snatched the blade from his hand to examine it in closer detail.

"Wow, this is amazingly light!" the girl practically let out a dreamy sigh as she flipped over the azure blade to look it all over. "I can't figure out what materials this is made of, but it's super strong and sturdy I can tell." She tapped on the blade to check the density and traced her fingers over it. After about a minute she then started to wave it around, "Surprisingly aerodynamic despite its shape and..."

A thought appeared in Ruby's mind as she remembered what Ky had said the night in the police office. "Hey," She said, getting said boy's attention. "Didn't you say that 'Star King' used to dual wield too?"

The bluenette nodded. "Yeah. Also, the Kingsglaive ''. From what I read in stories, He was the only one who did, and throughout generations, the royal guard 'Kingsglaive', had weapons of their own and used them against evil forces, like the Grimm. In other legends, it was disputed whether the Star King was meant to bring salvation or destruction."

Yang rubbed her chin, "That's... kinda fascinating. How come we never heard of this 'Star King' or 'Kingsglaive' before?"

"They're special and mysterious and sadly... not many folks around know about them anymore. They ended up almost completely forgotten," Ky shrugged. "I can't tell you any more than that as I'm not sure myself."

"Aw bummer, but you'll tell me its other features you do know right?" Ruby dejectedly sighed at first but smiled in the end. She was really keen on learning more about his weapon, but it seemed to be a unique case. However, that made her love his weapons even more.

"Sure thing, Rosebud," Ky smiled, as Ruby handed him his weapon back before sheathing it back in it's scabbard. "If you want, I could show you how the gun modes work too."

The crimsonette girl brighten up when she heard those words, "Really!? That sound great!... wait," then her eyes widen up in realization and Ruby tilting her head at the boy. "Did you call me Rosebud?"

"Yeah, I figure I give you a nickname. Why? Don't like it?" Ky questioned with a smirk while he leaned against the window.

"N-No. I like it fine."

"Good, because I'm gonna call you that whenever you liked it or not."

Yang took a moment to hear that and then started to snicker. She did her best to hold in her laughter, but it was starting to seep through a little. This guy...

Ruby pouted and stuck out her tongue, "Meh!"

Ky couldn't help it anymore and started to chortle, "Hehehehe...sorry, sorry. I tend to tease people I like and I do like you Ruby. You're a really fun person to be with."

The girl's face took an unexpected turn to red when he told her that. Sure, he was still in a joking state, but he was honest and serene about his words.

"Oh... he likes people he teases," Yang leaned to her sister on one leg and wriggled her eyebrows as she said that, "I bet that makes you happy, Rubes."

"Wha?! No, it's not! I mean..." Ruby exclaimed with a blush as she tried to debunk her sister's claim. "He might that in a friendly way, right?!"

In the background the news continued with the cover with the Faunus Rights and White Fang, and went into detail about their history and how things changed within their ranks over the years.

"Anyway, I still got a long way to go if I want to be on on the same level as the 'Star King'. Nearly did more bad than good when I first started dual-wielding," the spiky-haired youth stated as he glanced back at his weapons.

"Really? But you seem so capable with it?" Ruby pointed to his blades with her index finger.

Ky was about to answer her, but when looking at her a thought came to his head. Actually, he has been meaning to say this for a while now and now was the best time to say it. A childish grin in his mind he was so looking forward to their reactions when he said it.

"Yeah, because I had help from a older brother figure. You can also say it was 'all ruby-imentary,' for me," Ky stated semi-dramatically with one hand in the air and his eyes closed with an amused smile on his face.

Both girls stared shocked at him.

Ruby mouth was left wide open like a fish as she proceeded what he just said, "D-Did you...? Did you just make pun?!"

Yang on the other snickered in the beginning and then turned into a full-blown laughter, "Oh my god! That was hilarious! Pfft... I can't believe... hehehe... I never thought of that one before! Hahaha..."

"What can I say? I love puns!" he smirked proudly as he placed his hands behind his head.

"It was bad! Puns aren't funny at all!" Ruby chastised Ky for his godawful pun using her name. "Also, I knew it! The first time we met you DID make a pun!"

"Says you! Puns are funny! They're an underappreciated form of humor that people fail to see," the boy nodded to himself sage-like, "It takes creativity, imaginative, and timing to make use of puns. They're not so easy to pull off, but they show amazing word play when used correctly. They're the ultimate jokes and I will never stop loving them. Witty one-liners too."

Yang wiped a tear for her eyes when she heard all of that and had a proud smile on her face. He's perfect. "Finally, another pun lover like me! This day just got better!"

Ruby rubbed her temples in defeat, "There's two of them now..."

Yang quickly grabbed her sister's shoulder and spun her around to face her. The blonde was practically glue to her sister's face as she grinned excitedly, "Ruby, do not let this one get away! You have your big sister's 'Yang' of approval to have him as your best friend or boyfriend!"

"W-What?" Ruby blushed.

"H-Huh?" Ky did a double-take. He wasn't expecting her reaction to him to be like that.

Yang leaned even closer to Ruby and whispered to her face, "Ruby... if you don't date him, I will."

"YANG!" the younger sister could barely keep it together and started to push her sister off. However, Yang wasn't haven't any of it and locked her arm around her sister's head and gave a hearty laugh.

The boy looked between the two, not hearing what Yang said, and shrugged. Things are going to be quite interesting on his way to Beacon.

During their little commotion the news cast suddenly changed and in its place as a blonde-haired woman with green eyes showing up as a hologram. Miss Goodwitch made her appearance, or a recording of her, to broadcast to all of the students on the ship.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" the hologram recording of Glynda Goodwitch announced to everyone.

Both Ruby and Yang stopped what they were doing and looked to see the broadcast. The buxom beauty was the first to speak up, "Who's that?"

"-my name is Glynda Goodwitch-"

"Oh."

"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace. And as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it." Glynda explained, giving a motivational pep talk to the students. "You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."

The projection for Glynda disappears leaving everyone to reflect on what she said.

"Wow! Look at the view!" Ky said running up to the glass window and pressed his face on it while looking outside. "We are so high up here!"

Ruby gasped in awe as she walked over to the window to look past the clouds below them. Yang joined her and Ky stood by smiling at them. Such a peaceful scene. The boy wanted to keep this kind of peacefulness throughout most of their lives if he can.

"I guess home isn't too far after all," the scythe-wielding girl sighed fondly.

Yang wrapped her arm around her sister and placed her hand on Ruby's left shoulder, "Beacon's our home, now."

Suddenly an arm wrapped around Ky's neck and was pulled in. He blinked in confusion and looked to see it was Yang who pulled him in with a big cheeky smile on her face.

"Come here, Ky. You're in this together with us sisters!" she smiled boastfully.

He would've answered back immediately if his face wasn't so... close... to her... prominent features. But he felt thankful nonetheless, "Um... ahem... thanks."

Suddenly the heard the sound of someone having trouble to hold it in. All three of them turned to see a blond boy with a black hoodie and some armor on his body keeling over.

Ky unlatched himself from Yang's arm and glanced over at the boy. "Sheesh, motion sickness...that kinda sucks." He commented.

"Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone," Yang commented out loud and Ruby agreed.

"It was a nice moment while it lasted..." Ruby commented, feeling a little better after the conversation she had with Ky and Yang. Then the younger girl's head lowered down a bit with a smile on her face, though it quickly disappeared at the sight of something at their feet... or rather, on a certain someone's foot.

"I wonder who we are going to meet! Hopefully someone better than Vomit Boy...?" Yang muttered outloud.

Ky noticed that Ruby was shifting away from her sister with a disgusted look on her face. "Uh, Rosebud? You okay?"

"Yang! You've got puke on your shoe!" Ruby pointed down towards Yang's boots and sure enough there was a light splash on the tip of her boots. The girls' reactions were almost instantaneous.

"Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross!"

"No! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!"

"Yang I'm going to knock you out if you don't stop that!"

"Ky, get this off me!"

"What!? I'm not touching that! Back off!"

Shortly after Miss Goodwitch's announcement had finished the airship heading to Beacon had finally arrived to its destination, landing at the drop off point on the cliffside.

However, as soon as the doors open to let all of the arrivals exit out of the ship the blonde boy was the first to run out. Heading over to a trash can and kneeling over it in case he threw up.

"Should've had a barf bag," Ky sighed as he exited out of the ship. While looking over to at the blond with his head over the trash can looking slightly green, but nothing more.

The boy and two sisters continued on with the rest of the students until they came into full view of the campus they would be staying here for a long time to come. Beacon Academy.

Past the long walkway to the school's entrance, along with many lamp posts on the sides, stood the school. Surrounded by lush green fields and bushes, healthy trees, a moat, and a large tower that can be seen in the center. Its white lustrous walls almost glowing with the sunshine raying down on it with the blue clear skies highlighting its shape and grandiose form.

"Wowwwwwww," the trio awed breathless at the sight.

"This place is awesome!" Ky exclaimed in wonder.

"The view from Vales got nothing on this." Yang commented as she crossed her arms.

Ruby's eyes widened a bit as she let out a fan girlish gasp and changed into a chibi form of herself. "Ohhhh! Sis, Ky, that kid's got a collapsible staff! Ahhh and she has a fire sword!" She childishly stated in excitement, while pointing.

"Is she always like that?" Ky asked Yang in amusement.

"Pretty much," The blond girl replied before bringing her sister out of her daze. "Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons."

"Just weapons? They're an extension of ourselves. They're apart of us. Ohhh, they're so cool." The silver eyed girl said in offense to her sister's comment.

"Well why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang questioned.

"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose. I just...really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people but better." Ruby remarked.

Yang playfully messed with her by pulling down her hood over her head and giggled, "Ruby, come on. Why don't you go try and make some friends of your own? I mean, you already got this lovable guy here?"

She gestured to Ky with her thumb.

"Lovable?" the boy looked at her questionably.

"But why would I need friends other than you two?" Ruby pulled her hood back and looked at the two thinking they'll agree with her.

"Doesn't hurt to have more friends. The more the merrier I say," Ky reassured her with a grin, "I'll help out if you need some support talking to new people."

The silver-eyed girl looked unsure, but thankfully nodded at the boy. Yang glanced between the two and had a wicked smile. Spotting a group, she knew, walking toward her she decided to let the two get more acquainted with.

"Well, you see," the buxom girl placed her hands on both Ky and Ruby's shoulders and pulled them together, "My friends are actually here."

She gestured to the people behind her and then leaned in closer to her sister's face once again. Wriggling her eyebrows as she did, "So this is the perfect time for you two, to get to know each other. More closely you can say. Alone."

Ruby's face grew hot knowing what her sister was talking about. But she could get a single word out, Yang skedaddled away.

"Well going to go catch up with them! 'Kay, c'ya, bye!"

"WAIT!" the crimsonette tried to grab her sister, but it was too late.

Her sister was already out of sight, in the most cartoonish way possibly. Questionable physics, right?

"Don't leave me here alone... with the only friend I have!" she called it, but she knew Yang was already out of earshot. She was still embarrassed though and being alone with a boy where her sister started to fill her head with... um... flustering things didn't help.

"Okaayyy," Ky awkwardly broke the silence. "Now what? Want to follow or...?"

Ruby glanced at the boy and back to where Yang used to be and gulped, "Well... I... um..."

Ky was kinda confused now. Why was she acting so out of character right now? She talked to him fine before with and without Yang. He wondered if Yang said something uncomfortable just now to her sister.

Because of Yang's teasing the red hooded girl was rather flustered and not sure what to do from here. However, she decided to say the first thing that came to mind.

"Do you know where were going? Are there dorms? Do we get dorms?!" she said that all so fast and suddenly zoomed in his space.

"Whoa!" the boy started to stumbled backwards and fell. He was not expecting that!

However, when he fell backwards he hit something. Something rectangle and heavy and then something similar to a dolly or a U-boat.

A bunch of suitcases and materials were set flying out all in direction on the ground.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" a loud angry feminine voice shouted out.

"Huh?" With eyes closed, Ky opened his left eye and looked to see the person who shouted at him.

A girl with fair skin and piercing blue eye, with a small vertical scar over her left eye. Long white hair pulled back in an off-center bun tail to the right side of her head. Pinned with a silver icicle-shape tiara. She wore a thin strapless white dress with the hems of the dress stitched to resemble snowflakes. With layers of tulle under the skirt. She wore on top of her blouse was a bell long-sleeved bolero, in white, with a red inside and ruffled collar. Her boots were the same as her entire outfit, white.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Ruby started to blurted out as she rushed over to help Ky up, "That was my fault. I kinda, sort of, surprised him and caused him to fall over."

"Yeah, take it easy. I'll help put everything back," Ky said to calm the situation to defuse the situation, as he got up and patted himself down. However, that didn't sit well with the new girl.

"Help?" the snow white-skin girl seethed as she glared at the two, "Oh, I think you helped enough. Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?"

Both teens looked all over to see the scattered luggage around. Ruby looked skeptical, while Ky looked unamused and disinterested.

"Umm," the girl in the black combat dress muttered, trying to think of an answer, as she went to grab one of the white hair girl's suitcases.

Ky gave her a dry reply though, "Geez, I don't know, ripped clothes? Unless you're carrying around something explosive and dangerous, like Dust, for example. Which is not a good idea to have in the same suitcases as your clothes."

Weiss snatched her suitcase from Ruby's hand and began to open it, "This is Dust and...," when she realized what the boy said she stood there a moment and stared at him. She snubbed her nose to the air and went 'hmph' as she continued with her lecture, "Like I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted, this is Dust minded and purified from the Schnee Quarry."

"Uhh," poor Ruby was having a tough time keeping up.

Which did not improve the snow-white girl's mood as she narrowed her eyes on Ruby, "What are you, brain dead? Dust!"

She pulled out a veil and starts shaking it to Ruby, without realizing the cap was loosen from the falling, and red powder flew in the air with each shake. However, the white-haired girl wasn't paying attention.

"Fire, Water, Lightning, energy!" she continued lecturing the two, but Ky had a feeling knew where this was going and he didn't want to get caught in the middle of it himself.

"Hey, uh... you should probably stop shaking that veil right now," Ky pointed at hoping to get her attention, "Can't you see that it's-"

"What did I say about interrupting me?! Were you raised on a barn in the middle of nowhere!?" the girl snapped at Ky. The boy looked taken back, but glared right back as her dismissal. Also, there was no need to say that.

"Listen! You have to realize that-!"

"Are either of you listening to me?!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Ruby got a whiff of the red Dust, most likely the Fire Dust, and her nose started to wrinkle and twitched.

"That's not it, your veil is-"

"I am explaining that, if you let me tell you dolts what you did wrong! I'm not sure if any of this is sinking in yet. Do you have anything to say for yourself!?" she walked in and pressed her accusing finger on his chest and sneered at him. She wasn't listening at all.

"Uhhhhaaaahhh-Chooooo!"

And that was the sound of Ruby's dust-filled nose sneezing and catching all three youths in a massive fiery explosive. A giant crater was formed from the sneeze below the three and the veil in Weiss's hand flew upward to the skies and landed a few feet away.

Towards someone.

Splendid. Just what Ky wanted to do today. Get caught in an explosive. As he was covered from head to toe in black soot, like the two girls though they looked more dazed than he was.

"Well, ex-plode you, too," the boy remarked to his female companion as Ruby gave him an annoyed glare.

"Unbelievable!" the girl in white growled as she shook the soot off of her. "This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"

"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby started to apologized, after returning to normal.

However, the girl was having none of it, "Ugh! You complete, dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you both," she glanced at Ky when she said that, "a little young to be attending Beacon?"

Ky had seen this kind of arrogant attitude before. Though seeing it again was started to make him quite boiled with anger. He never liked someone get yelled out for something so simple or blamed for that was clearly the other person's fault.

"Well... I..."

"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice you know. We're here to fight monsters. So, watch where you're going!"

Ky had enough of this and needed to get these things off his chest and address this entitled rude girl who got everything handed to her on a silver plate and call her out on how rotten she was being.

"Stop it right there, Snow White! It was a total accident and honestly it was your fault too!"

"Excuse me?!" The girl was taken aback from the sudden brash accusation, "How dare you! Do you even know who I am?"

"No, and frankly, I don't give a damn," he scowled at her. "You could you be the goddess of this world, the daughter of such rich company, or any other important figure and I still wouldn't care. You were irresponsible with your handling of your Dust."

"WHAT?!"

"You heard me," Ky challenged her as the white-haired girl walked up to him and give a heated glare which he returned as well. "You should've check to make sure all contents were sealed and undamaged when all your luggage fell. Instead you took the veil out without a second thought and started shaking it in front of us to prove a point. Without realizing the lid was untightened. Which lead to some of it spreading out and you know the results."

The girl didn't say anything, but got in his face pressing their noses together and sneered in his direction.

"If you know some much about Dust, then it should've known better than to wave it around in front of people. Nor carry them around such unstable dangerous substance in flimsy non-secure suitcases!"

Ruby looked between the two and could see the sparks fly from their eyes and was worried where this was going. She didn't want everyone to get on the wrong foot because of her.

"Ugh," the girl in white scoffed, "You have no right to make false accusations on me when clearly you're the ones that started all this and caused my Dust to be damaged in the progress!"

"Yeah, keep telling that yourself, Princess."

"It's Heiress, actually," A new feminine voice chimed into their conversation.

Ky looked back, folded his arms behind his head, and raised an eyebrow, "What's the difference?"

The new voice belonged to a with girl of a pale complexion, similar to Ruby. She had long, wavy black hair, and her eyes were amber, complemented by light-purple eye shadow flaring backwards. The eyes were slightly tilted upwards at the ends, giving her a somewhat catlike appearance. She also had a black ribbon tied in the form of a bow.

The rest of her body she adorned to wear a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Under that vest included a white sleeveless high neck undershirt. Along with white shorts with black leg stocking and low-heeled boots. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. Finally, she has a small loose black scarf wrapped around her neck.

Her amber eyes, glanced at the boy and gave a small smirk, "I suppose none I guess."

Then she turned her attention on the white-haired girl, which said female stared right back at her, "As I was saying... her name is Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company," she lifted the veil of Dust that was in Weiss's hand before it flew after Ruby sneezed, "one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."

"Finally, some recognition and respect!" the Heiress smiled triumphantly with her hands on her hips. She said that one last while glancing back at Ky.

"As I said before, don't care," the boy replied sardonically.

She glared daggers back at him when he commented on that, a sly smile not missed from the boy's eyes when he saw the cat-like girl look between the two.

Not missing a beat, the black-haired beauty continued on, "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners."

"Ah, corrupt business people? Who knew they had such a dark side?," Ky cheekily smirked rubbing it in further.

"What?!" and just like that Weiss was taken aback. She looked irritated, fumed, furious, and spiteful at both black-hair teens, "How dare-! The nerve of-"

Ruby was giggling on the side as she watched the scene unfold as Weiss glared with the 'if looks could kill' expression. She grabs her Dust in the girl's hand before stomping in place and turning around. Her noses snubbed in the air and growling as she walked away.

While her butlers collected her belongings and followed after her.

"You know," Ky huffed, folding his arms. "She'd be a lot more likeable if she got that stick out of her butt."

As Ky was mumbling to himself, the young red hood girl called out to Weiss, "I promise we'll make this up to you!"

"We?" the blue-haired boy repeated to himself. He shook his head and glanced to Blake and gave a thankful nod, "Anyway, thanks."

She didn't say anything and simply nodded back before walking away.

Ruby sighed sadly to herself as the girl in white didn't seem to hear her or just ignored her, "I guess we're not exactly having a good first day for the both of us."

"I wouldn't say it was that rough," Ky consoled.

She smiled and then she remembered the other girl and was about to say something to her, "So what's-" only to find that she left.

Feeling dejected Ruby slide down on her knees and fall on her back.

"Welcome to Beacon...," she muttered sadly to herself.

Ky knelt down beside her, on one knee and looked down at her, "Cheer up, Rosebud. I know things will bound to get better later on. I mean, hey, you got me to look out for you, don't you?"

The silver-eyed girl looked up at her friend and smiled thankfully, "Yeah. Thanks."

Just then someone walked over to them. Another familiar teen with blond hair.

"Hey," he called out to the two teens as they looked over to their side, "You guys alright?"

Ruby looked uncertain while Ky nodded with a smile.

"Oh, I'm glad," he chuckled bashfully as he held his hand out to help Ruby up, "So who are you guys?"

He helped her up and Ruby regained her cheery expression again, "I'm Ruby and this is Ky."

"Yo, nice to meet ya," the boy with the blue hair grinned as he shook Jaune's hand.

"Likewise."

"Aren't you the guy who almost threw up on the ship?" Ruby chimed in recollection as Jaune groaned and Ky just laughed a bit.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Soon, the trio decided to walk into the heart of the school. As they were walking through a lovely scenery of rose bushes and a small pond along the pathway, Jaune was telling Ky and Ruby all about motion sickness.

"Look. What happened at the plane was motion sickness. All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!"

"Look, I'm sorry but Vomit-Boy was the first thing that came to mind when I saw your face all green and you puked in the can when we landed," Ruby pointed out during their conversation.

"Oh yeah, what if I called you Crater-face?" Jaune countered playfully.

"Nah, I think 'Sneeze-zilla' has a better ring to it," Ky cheekily teased with his hands behind his head.

"Hey, that explosion was an accident!" Ruby stomped her foot. "Also, you're suppose to have my back, Ky!"

"Sorry, it was kinda funny though." Ky shrugged his shoulder with a lopsided grin.

Ruby gasped and stifled in place, "Betrayed by my first good friend!"

Jaune chuckled to himself from the exchange of the two as he decided to reintroduce himself in a cool manner, "Well the name's Jaune Arc!" he does some motions with his arms, "Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it!"

Ky placed his fingers on his chin and pondered, "Hmm... Jaune Arc. Yeah it totally does rolls off the tongue nicely."

The blond beamed when the boy in blue agreed with him, "I know, right?! Just how ladies will love it."

Both Ky and Ruby glanced at each other and both asked, "So, do they?"

"They will!" Jaune quickly replied, after losing his momentum, and started to feel dejected, "Well, I hope they will... I mean my mom always says that... Nevermind."

Ky clasped his hand on Jaune's shoulder and gave him an encouraging smile, "Ah, don't worry about it. I'm sure in time they will, but for now let's focus on doing great at Beacon together."

"Heh, thanks. You're a really great guy you know that?" Jaune bounced back with vigor, "I hope we'll get to work together in the future."

"Hehe, same here" Ky said, rubbing his nose.

"Also, if you don't mind me asking..." Jaune began as he gazed at the blades behind Ky. "Do you use swords too?"

"Huh? Oh, You mean these?" he reached back at drew his dual blades from their scabbards.

Understandable Jaune jumped back in shock, "W-Whoa!"

"I know, right!? Aren't his weapons the coolest!" Ruby exclaimed with excitement as she was practical drooling when she saw them again.

"I'll bet," Jaune mouthed out in awe as he studied the weapons, "I've never seen or heard of these before, but they sure do look impressive."

"Well... I can do a lot more with them. Like this for example" the boy confidently smirked as he changed the key swords into arrow guns, then changed them back. "But You'll just have to wait and see what they can do."

"That's amazing!" Jaune commented, impressed. "Do you have names for them?"

"Yep! The blue one is Bright Crest and the black one is Fallen Abyss," Ky replied, before sheathing his weapons.

"I love those swords so much!" Ruby squealed with joy. "So cool!"

"And they have awesome names on top of it, sheesh... I don't even think I could compete with that," Jaune rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"So, since we're talking weapons, I'll show you mine!" the silver-eye girl spoke up as she took out her trusty scythe, in its box form, and shifted it into its combat mode.

"Whoa!" Jaune jumped back in fright, "Is that a scythe?!"

"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle," she explained matter-of-factly.

He looked dumbfoundedly at what she said, "A what-?"

Ky raised his eyebrow, "She means it's a gun also. Wouldn't the sniper rifle part tip you off?"

"Oh. Sorry she said it all so fast," Jaune nodded with understanding.

"Understandable. She's a regular chatterbox."

"HEY!" she growled at him while Ky whistled innocently.

"It's pretty cool, actually," Jaune commented on Ruby's weapon which in turn made the girl smile.

"Thanks," She said, before eagerly looking over at Jaune. "So, we showed you our weapons, so what do you got?"

He seemed slightly put off when she asked him, but he manage to grab his weapon which was strap to his waist, "Oh-uh, I got this sword."

It looked like a regular longsword with a golden cross hilt and silver blade.

"Classic. Instant like," Ky commented as he looked at the sword. He's a sword guy through and through.

Ruby shared his sentiments, "Oooooooh!"

The blond seemed pleased with their reactions, "Yeah, I got a shield too!"

He pulled it from the same side he drew his sword and deployed it. It shifted from the sheathe-like form into white shield with gold trims along its edges.

"Nice. The good old reliable Sword and Shield style. An great balance between offense and defense," the blue-haired boy examined the weapons with interest. "A very suitable type for someone like you. You have the air of a leader and seem quite adaptable to the situation."

Jaune became baffled when the unexpected praise his new friend told him. Though he shuffled his feet with embarrassment, "M-Me, leader? Hah, t-that's going too far I think. I'm not leader material. You seem like it though."

Ky shook his head, "In that case we're the same. I don't think I'm leader material as well. I feel more comfortable being on the side providing support, following someone's lead, and offering help."

"So, what does your weapons, do?" Ruby asked returning back on topic. She wasn't trying to be rude or anything, but she wanted to know more about Jaune's weapon.

She touched his shield which retracted and shot up in the air, causing Jaune to fumble around to get it before Ky managed to snatch it and hand it over back to him.

"Thanks," he said, "About my shield... well it can become smaller. So... when I get tired of carrying it... I can just put it away."

Ruby seemed to find the error in that logic, "But wouldn't it weigh the same?"

"Yeah, it does," he replied back depressingly.

Ky pondered that, "I wouldn't necessarily say that. If you lift it all the time with your arm, your arm will get tired faster that way. When you're not using it and put it back on your waist your resting your arm so you're not as tired even if it weights the same. It's how you hold it that determines if you get tired easily or not."

The two of them looked at the boy in blue with surprise and glanced at each other, "Oh. I guess that makes sense in a way."

"By the way, didn't you say your scythe's name was Crescent Rose, Rosebud?" Ky asked Ruby.

"Yeah, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons," Ruby spoke up once more as she traced her fingers over her scythe, "When I named it, I guess I did go a little overboard designing it."

"I wouldn't call you a dork per say when it comes to weapons," Ky grinned at her, "If anything, it makes that part of you rather charming honestly."

Ruby was visibly shocked by his comment that her face was heating up. She never had anyone told her that her weapon-loving dorky side was charming before.

Jaune did a double-take when he heard that, "Wait. You made that?"

The girl snapped out of her daze and nodded like it never happened, "Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons."

The blonde glanced over to Ky, "Did you make yours too?"

Ky nodded, "Yeah, though I had a little bit of help."

"But what about you, Jaune?" Ruby asked as she looked over to him, "Didn't you make yours?"

He hung his head, "It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war."

"Your family had it for that many years and still looking like it's in new condition?" the key sword wielding boy hummed, "That's some impressive material it's made from. Sturdy, durable, and irreplaceable. A nice weapon to have."

"Yeah! It's sound exactly like a family heirloom to me!" Ruby jumped in the air with agreement.

Jaune didn't seem convinced despite his new friends encouraging him with positive statements.

The scythe wielder voiced more of her words to the boy, "Well I like it. Not many people have an appreciation for the classic these days. Like Ky and myself here."

"Yeah. The classics," the blond reiterated sadly. Still not convinced his weapons were any good.

"So, why'd you come to check up on us back there, at the courtyard?" Ruby asked as she wondered why he walked up to them when there was hardly any interaction between them prior.

"Eh, why not?" Jaune chimed in his words of wisdom, "My mom always says, Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet."

"Heh, a friend of mine said the exactly same thing," Ky smiled with reminiscence.

"You too?" Jaune grinned, happy to meet someone similar to him.

Ruby smiled as she looked on ahead, "Hmmm... Hey, where are we going?"

"Oh, I dunno," Jaune shrugged, "I was following you."

"But, I was following Ky!" the girl exclaimed as she pointed to Ky.

"I was just walking around in a random direction," Ky said, throwing his hands up.

The crimson and blond teens sighed in defeat while the blue-haired teen facepalmed.

"You think there might be a directory?" the sword and shield user suggested, "Maybe a food court? Some sort of recognizable landmark?"

Ruby was giggling and snorted as he rambled on.

"Is uh... Is that a 'no'?"

"Great, we're lost," Ky sighed as he turned his attention to his friends, "Alright. Let's take a moment to assess the situation. Currently we're in the gardens, right?"

The two teens nodded.

"And since this is our first day to school we need to head to the auditorium for school assembly, right? Considering how many students are here we need to find a building large and the right shape to house everyone. Spotting any number of students is a good giveaway as well. Meaning we need to find one of the buildings that fit that description around here and check to see how many people are there."

He walked off a little bit down the path and scanned further ahead and spotted a rather noticeable building that seem to fit what could be the Auditorium. With a few straggling students huddle nearby which helped.

"Alright, that building over there looks to be it. Let's head over and make sure we're not late. Comprende?" he grinned back at them playfully as he ushered them to follow him.

Both teens looked at each other once more and Jaune spoke up first, "Wow. You know, for someone he says he's a follower, he kinda..."

"Isn't?" Ruby finished.

"Yeah. Sort of."

With that, the two decided to leave it at that and followed after him.
