Volume 1: The Shining Beacon

The opening ends to a view of several ships carrying students and docking at the entrance of the school. As soon as one lands, Jaune Arc emerges and goes over to the nearest trash can, hunching over it as he loses his lunch.




Ruby, Yang and Omega, alongside several other students, walk out of the ship and head down the paved path to the front of the school.




Ruby and Yang: (as they take in the entirety of Beacon Academy) "Wow..."




Yang: "The view from Vale's got nothing on this!"




Omega: I've seen better.


Yang: No you haven't


Omega: Yes I have.


Ruby: (getting so excited she becomes a 2-D, starry-eyed, floating chibi) "Ohmygosh, sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" (she tries getting closer, but Yang pulls her sister by the hood back into realistic proportions) "Ow! Ooww!"




Yang: Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons!




Ruby: 'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool! And Look At Omega's weapons.




Omega summons Watcher And Loads a Round into it.


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




Ruby: (transforming her weapon into its scythe form) "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..."




Yang: (playfully pushing her sister's hood down over her face) "Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?"




Ruby: (taking off her hood) "But... why would I need friends if I have you?"




Yang: "Well..." (in a flash, a group of other students surround Yang and they all dash down the road) "Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up. 'Kay, see ya, bye!"




Ruby: (spinning and dizzy-eyed from Yang's sudden leaving) "Wait, where are you going?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" (stopping for a moment, still reeling) "I don't know what I'm doing..."




Ruby falls backwards into a luggage cart, sending cases flying. Someone is standing over her.




Xero: Fuck Lass. You ok.


Ruby: (getting up on her hands) "Uh, sorry!"




Weiss: "Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?"




Xero: Sis stop.


Wiess: Why Should I


Xero: Sis. You need to less Stuck up. People are going to call you Ice Queen and we don't need another those again


Ruby: (holding a case) "Uuhhh..."




Omega: Sis are you ok


Both Xero and Omega Look at each other As Wiess and Ruby are arguing.


 Ruby, who had been receiving more and more Dust to her face, finally sneezes, which erupts into a full-blown explosion of flame, snowflakes, and electricity right onto Weiss. The bottle she had been holding flies over the courtyard and at the feet of Blake Belladonna, who picks it up and notices the Schnee Dust Company logo on the side as she reads from a book and looks over at the scene.


Xero: FUCK! Sis are you ok


Omega: RUBY!


Weiss: (now covered in soot, though it quickly disappears) "Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"




Ruby: (apologetic and embarrassed) "I'm really, really sorry!"




Weiss: "Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"




Ruby: "Well, I-I..."




Weiss: "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!"




Omega Having enough of Wiess Grabs her by the Coat.


Omega: Ok I had enough of your Mood. So you Accept the apology or I swear to God I will MAKE YOU!


Omega Let's go of Weiss and grabs Ruby and walks off


Xero: Well. Shit You Ok sis.


Wiess: I don't want to talk about it.


Askad: Well I hope you two are Ok.


Xero: I am as for my Sister (looks at Askad and Kary-08) I...


Xero Trips on his words as He Sees Askad and Kary-08 and the other two do the same.


Askad: Sorry I think We should go to the auditorium.


Xero: Agreed.


The four walk off.


As Ruby and Omega entered Beacon Academy's giant auditorium, filled to the brim with people. Ruby looks over when she hears Yang's voice.




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




Omega: thank god.


Yang: (once Ruby joins her, arms crossed) How's your first day going, little sister?




Ruby: You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?




Yang: Yikes! Meltdown already?




Omega: No. Dude to your recklessness and your Friends be a priority then your Own "baby" sister. Ruby got a faceful of dust and She sneezed which called a reaction that in dept. Made an expulsion.


Yang: (smiling broadly) Are you being sarcastic?




Omega: Yang. You of all people Know my research on Dust Made me able to Create the Non-elemental dust used in my guns. Most Dust experiments I do Involve them exploding in my face.


Ruby: (scoffs as the camera pans around to reveal Weiss right next to her) I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, 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 again!




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




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




Omega: TOLD YA!


Ruby: It was an accident. (getting down; to Weiss) It was an accident! (Weiss holds up a pamphlet titled "DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals" to Ruby) What's this?


Xero: A pamphlet on how to handle dust. Meaning some jackhole Who was sponsored By the company Didn't know how to handle it properly.


Weiss: (listing off policies to a clueless and horrified Ruby, going faster and higher pitched with each word) 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...?




Weiss: You really wanna start making things up to me?




Ruby: Absolutely?




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




Omega: I don't think She will read it (takes the Pamphlet) I can help her since I was able to Make the..


Wiess: Non-elemental dust. I know. Really smart idea. it seams Bullets are able to reach further distances then Dust filled rounds.


Omega: I see.


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 her hand as she clears her throat) Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!




Xero: Fucking Hell.


Weiss: (seemingly enthusiastic) Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like Tall, Gruff and Yellow.


Askad: Really.


Wiess: I mean Am I wrong


Kary-08: eh. 6 out of 10.


Askad: You sassy bitch.


Ruby: Wow, really?!




Weiss: (dead silence under her glare) No.




The girls' 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.




Omega: As much as I love the speech. Giving you two the meaning of the speech would confuse you even more.


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.




Omega: What about Me


Ruby: Your ok.


Omega get's up getting ready to leave for a smoke


Yang: Where are you going


Omega: Going to smoke


Yang: ok.


Omega leaves as Xero, Askad and Kary-08 do the same


Wiess: Xero What are you doing.


Xero: Just got another weird memory when I look at them.


Wiess: Something form your Hero 


Xero: ya.


Wiess: ok.


Outside Beacon Omega Was smoking and sitting on a bench Soon Askad and Kary-08 come out with Xero being last


Omega: (to Xero) Your late again


Xero: Ya ya Stick it where it fits asshole (giving Omega the middle finger)


Omega chuckles Remembering that Xero said that. Minus the Asshole


Askad: so Any theories


Omega: Simple. Reincarnation. But it wouldn't explain the scars like Xero's scars for Kary-08


Kary: Maybe they where made to remind us of who we are


Askad: I see.  Omega Did you leave those two because of us


Omega: No. I just wanted to smoke. You guys just came 


Kary-08: I see.


Xero: Well Finish the smoke Omega we need to get back Before anyone Notices us.


Omega: Ok.


With one last puff Omega finishes the cig and stomps on it before they leave the outside to go back inside to sleep.
