Chapter 12: Just a Launch

"It's morning~ it's morning~ It's morning~" is heard being sung from across the room.

"Guess we have to get up." Kyra says with a small chuckle.

"Yeah sadly." Ruby says.

"Don't remove the blanket, give me a second."

Kyra then looks down at her Pip-boy, selecting a few items while time is frozen, and suddenly changes to the Blue hood, blue jeans, and navy blue tee shirt.

"You need to get me a thing so I can do that!" Ruby says, still in her Pajamas.

----------------------------------------

In the locker room.

"Can you imitate a sloth?" Can be heard coming from a few lockers down.

"I don't think sloths make a lot of noise." A boy says.

"That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!" The girl shouts.

“Come on, Nora, let's go.” The boy says.

"Not together-together…" The girl, now known as Nora, says as she walks by, giggling.

"Why don't those two just get a room?" Kyra asks.

"Wonder what they’re so worked up over?" Ruby asks.

"I don't know, but you two seem oddly Chipper this morning." Yang says, while Kyra looks away, face flushing lightly.

"I get to let my sweetheart do the talking today. No more awkward small talk or getting to know you stuff." Ruby says while rubbing the Crescent rose, and briefly glancing at Kyra.

"Well, remember you two, you're not the only ones going through initiation. If you two want to grow up, you're going to have to meet new people and learn to work together." Yang says.

"As long as we don't land next to Weiss, don't want to worry about her trying to kill me in my sleep." Kyra says.

"Why do you sound like dad?" Ruby says.

"Yeah, she does kinda sound like him." Yang says.

"Okay, first of all, what does meeting people have to do with fighting?" Ruby asks.

"A lot, how are you supposed to fight if there are no people to fight." Kyra says.

"No, did you really just say that Kyra! Why do you like fighting so much!" Yang asks.

"I don't fight that often." Kyra says.

'If I did, I would have grinded it out to level 100.'

"Yeah, you’re already really strong. Why do you keep training so much, Kyra?" Ruby asks.

"Damn Saiyan tendencies." Kyra mutters, biting her thumbnail in anger.

"I heard Saiyan again! Tell me what that means!" Ruby yells, Kyra sighs, and looks around checking for people, before pulling out a noise masker that was used during the Cold War to make sure conversations couldn't be bugged, and listened to outside of a certain distance.

Turning it on, she sets the box on the ground near them. "You two can tell absolutely no one what I am about to tell you." Kyra says.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

"I am not a Faunus but a Saiyan. The Saiyans are a race of warriors that have a thirst for fighting and getting stronger. Our race is the literal definition of what doesn't kill us makes us stronger." Kyra says.

"So, are there more of your kind?" Yang asks.

"As far as I am aware, no." Kyra answers.

"How do you know that?" Ruby asks.

'Cause they don't exist in this universe!'

"I just do." Kyra answers.

"Tell me the truth, sister." Ruby says.

"They don't exist in this universe." Kyra says.

"So the multiverse theory you told us about at dinner like 8 months ago is real!?" Yang asks.

"Uhh, yeah..." Kyra says.

"How long are you here for?" Ruby asks, a little upset.

"The rest of my life, I think?" Kyra says.

"How long is that?" Yang asks.

"Would you believe me if I said I don't know. My race doesn't usually die of

old age." Kyra answers.

"What about home?" Ruby asks.

"There is no home to go back to... the planet was destroyed and everyone was slaughtered, even the children." Kyra says, describing what happened to planet Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z.

"My home is with you guys if you will still have me." Kyra says, both Yang and Ruby suddenly hug her.

----------------------------------------

Outside on Beacon Cliff for the Initiation.

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

"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." Glynda announces.

Kyra's tail slowly wraps around Ruby's arm. "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. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years." Ozpin says Kyra stares at him, and he winks back.

"See? I told you-!" Nora says to the green shirt boy.

"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." Ozpin says, and Kyra raises her hand.

"Yes Miss Stark?" Ozpin says, and at his words, all students turn and stare at the president and lead inventor of Stark Industries.

"Does that mean we can destroy the forest?" Kyra asks.

"Normally I would say that's not possible but knowing you... you would find a way to do it. Please don't destroy the forest." Ozpin said before taking a sip of his Coffee..

"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?" Ozpin says.

"Yeah, um, sir" Jaune questions.

"Good! Now, take your positions." Ozpin says.

"Yang, Ruby, do you two need anything?" Kyra asks her sisters.

"Oh, those gold aviator sunglasses would be nice!" Yang says.

"Sure. How about you, Ruby?" Kyra says, throwing the pair at her.

"I'm good, just meet me first on the ground, please." Ruby says.

"See you there!" Kyra says as students start to get launched.

"Uh, sir? I've got, um, a question *Weiss is launched* So, this landing strategy thingy, uh, w-what is it? You're like dropping us off or something?" Jaune asks with worry. *Another student launches*

"No. You will be falling." Ozpin answers.

"Oh, I see. So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Jaune asks.

"Woo-hoo!" Nora yells.

"No. You will be using your own landing strategy." Ozpin says.

"Uh huh… yeah." Jaune mumbles.

Yang winks at Kyra and Ruby, before putting on the aviators as she launches off.

Kyra turns to Jaune. "Do you really need a parachute? I packed a spare." Kyra says.

"Yes!" Jaune says.

*Ruby launches with a resounding shout*

Kyra starts digging in her backpack she has under her hood. "Found it." Kyra says, pulling it out right as she gets launched. Before she could hand it to him.

Jaune looks absolutely horrified, not having the parachute now.

Then he's launched as well.
