The Sun began to rise over Vale and its rays shone perfectly over Beacon Academy. Ruby Rose, Getting up peculiarly early, decided to kill the extra time by walking around Beacon before heading back to prepare for classes that day. Coming to a rest under a large tree in the courtyard Ruby took in a breath of fresh air and released a heavy sigh. She liked to have quiet times like this, getting away from the noise in Beacon whether it came from her team or other students, even some teachers got on her nerves to be honest. After resting for a good 15 minutes She got up to head back to her room when a shimmer in the tree above her caught her eye. Being too short to reach it herself, Ruby pulled out her signature scythe Crescent Rose and brought the branch the shining object was attached to down to the ground. Grabbing the object, Ruby noticed that the pendant was a shimmering silver circle with the picture of a dust crystal engraved into it.
"How did this get up in a tree?" Ruby wondered aloud. Looking around and finding no one she moved her arm to her side to pocket the pendant and planned to find its owner later.
"Hey Ruby!" A voice called out. Ruby jumped in surprise and dropped the pendant. She looked to see who shouted. Noticing Jaune was walking towards her Ruby sighed in relief before bending to pick up the pendant. Jaune caught up to her as she stood back up. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you or anything."
"No, it's ok, I just didn't see you walking around. What's up?" Ruby smiled.
"Yang woke up without you in the room and asked any of us if we saw you. When none of us knew I volunteered to find out where you disappeared to." Jaune explained. He looked to the Pendant in Ruby's hand and his eyes lit up. "That's a cool necklace, did you just get it?"
"Uh no, I found it up in the tree over there and I thought it looked pretty cool." Ruby embarrassingly confessed. The sound of running made itself clear and both Ruby and Jaune turned to see an orange haired boy wearing a white shirt under a black jacket and long black track pants sprinting to where they were.
"Heeeeeeey!" The boy burst into Ruby toppling her over and then rolling to a stop. While Ruby was seeing stars he began breathing a little heavy before turning to the both of them. "That.....that pendant.....where did you find it?"
"Uh,......I saw it hanging in the tree over there?" Ruby pointed to the tree and gave the boy an inquisitive look. "Is it yours?"
"Yeah actually, I was finding my way around the school and must have lost it last night, don't know how or why it was in that tree though." The boy said, he ran a hand through his hair and Ruby noticed he had small points poking out from his orange mop. "Thanks for finding it by the way, I'm Herald."
"My name's, Ruby, that's Jaune over there" Jaune waved hello and Herald shook both their hands. "Hey, you're a faunus aren't you?" Ruby said pointing at Herald's head.
"Yeah, heh, saw through my hair huh?" Herald said shaking his hair a little to reveal more of his animal ears.
"I noticed that too. Though I can't recall from your ears alone which type of Faunus you are" Jaune blurted. Ruby slapped Jaune’s arm and gave him a stern look for being rude.
"It's alright, not many people see Hyenas walking around. We’re a minority even within the Faunus community" Herald replied slightly chuckling and putting the Pendant around his neck.
"You said you were finding your way around the school? Are you new here?” Jaune asked cautiously so that Ruby wouldn’t hit him again.
"Just got in actually." Herald said and rubbed the back of his neck. “I was surprised to hear that Ozpin had accepted my application even though I sent it after the semester had ended.”
"Were you ever assigned a team?" Ruby said while cocking her head at Herald's ears still.
"Actually, no. Professor Goodwitch said that since my application was so odd that I would have to wait for other applicants to arrive before being assigned a team.” Herald explained. He checked around one last time before fully relaxing. " I don't have many friends naturally so it's better if I'm on my own I guess."
"Wow." Jaune expressed some shock before Ruby pitched in.
"Well We can be friends right? I mean, we can at least be acquaintances." Ruby extended her hand to Herald and he eventually accepted it.
"Sure. I guess we can try being friends. So do you guys have teams? And what are your weapons?" Herald seemed a bit happy about Ruby's eagerness but kept his cool.
“Well I’m the leader of team RWBY, and Jaune is the leader of team JNPR.” Ruby said pointed to herself and the blond haired knight beside her. “My sister, the Heiress of the SDC Weiss Schnee, and our friend Blake Belladonna make up the team.”
“On JNPR, Myself, A bubbly girl named Nora, her friend named Ren, and the famous fighter Pyrrha Nikos are teamed up together.” Jaune listed his team as well.
"Hmm. That Weiss character sounds interesting. Think I can get a chance to meet her and the rest of your friends?"
"Sure." Jaune said. "Whether you have our classes or not you can join us during lunch."
"Yeah, but I'd be careful around Weiss, Herald." Ruby warned. Herald cocked his head to one side inquisitively
"Oh?" Herald said confused. Ruby leaned in close to his ear as if to keep it a secret.
"Since she’s the heiress of the SDC she has a reputation for not being all too fond of Faunus."
"Ah, well I'll be sure not to piss her off" Herald said with an assuring tone. Ruby smiled brightly and retrieved a compact red rectangle from behind her back.
“Well that’s great! As for the part about my weapon," The red box extended into a large scythe and Ruby swung it around herself before planting it into the ground. "Meet Crescent Rose."
"Alright, that’s cool,Jaune what about you?" Herald looked over to the blond who showed him his sword and Sheath.
“It’s not much but it’s survived the war and proven to be reliable.” Jaune sheepishly showed off his weapon before returning it to his side.
“Alright, simple and clean, I like it.” Herald approved with a thumbs up before Ruby caught his attention.
"What's yours?" Ruby asked. Herald looked a bit confused, as if he didn't know what to say before seemingly getting a mental “aha!” moment.
"Well that's where it gets tricky. You know Aura right, life force, protective shield, blah blah blah?" Herald asked. Ruby and Jaune nodded before he continued. "Well, due to how I was raised, mine is both that and something else." Before continuing to explain Large red tendril like strings of Aura sprouted violently from Herald's back. they whipped around near uncontrollably and Ruby and Jaune stepped back for safety. Herald regained control of his body while the tendrils calmly swayed in the air. "What do you think?"
"Whoa....." Both Jaune and Ruby gasped in unison.
"You haven't even seen the best part." Herald said cockily. The tendrils wrapped around his arms forming two long spear like covers on his arms and then shifted into a singular Katana in his left hand. Ruby and Jaune were once again stunned to see such a thing. "Now, Ruby, hold Crescent Rose in front of you." Ruby complied and Herald held his hand in front of him nearly touch Crescent Rose. The Aura tendrils around Him slowly wrapped around the scythe before returning to Herald’s arms. The aura moved around his left arm and shaped into a copy of Crescent Rose earning a giant gasp from Ruby.
"Pretty impressive if I do say so myself. I can copy and use any weapon that I focus on and after only one moment of focusing on the weapon I can recreate it whenever it becomes necessary. I’ve tried doing it to Grimm as well but since they don’t have aura I can only mimic their physical abilities. Bony spikes and armor and such." the Aura copy disappeared and then Herald began to focus on Jaune's sword and copied that as well.
"That’s amazing and really cool" Ruby exclaimed. Suddenly a bell rang throughout Beacon and Ruby realized just how long they've all been standing there. "OH NO, OH NO, WE'RE GONNA BE LATE EVERYBODY COME ON COME ON WE GOTTA GO!" Ruby yelled before speeding off with her semblance. Herald and Jaune raced to catch up to her in vain. When Ruby and Jaune got to classes they told their friends all about the new kid they had met. Blake showed curiosity in the fact that he was a Faunus, Yang was amazed by his Aura weapon ability and Weiss seemed disinterested but agreed with everyone to have a real meeting during lunch. Meanwhile Herald had sat through his own schedule of classes with his mind stuck on these students that he had interacted with.
